It's Sudden, But I'm Coming To Another World! I Wish To Live With Peace

Chapter 1: For now, I Want to Meet Someone Else

Alright, however, I arrived at the Other World.

Normally, based on the theory of summoning to the Other World, I should have experienced flashback scenes from my previous life, starting from there until I came here.

But it's embarrassing to talk about it with someone else, so I'll ignore it.

The only information I can give is that I am a Japanese man from Earth.

More of this will be a personal matter-of-public

"No, now is not the time to bring us an introductory narrative. "

Allow me to explain the situation now. I was in the middle of the Otherworldly Forest. And that's it.

When I realized, I was already in the middle of the forest. No, maybe more accurately if I say, I am in the middle of a mountain with thick trees and sloping slopes.

Speaking of which, how could I know I was in the Other World, it was because of the trees that were in front of me.

These trees had transparent trunks that allowed me to faintly see the scenery from the other side.

And this fantasy foliage that was emitting a dim light, filled my entire vision.

Where can you find a forest like this on Earth?

And if there is, please tell me where it is. I wanted to travel there in my old age.

"By the way, it's been about 20 minutes since I drowned with this sight. "

5 Minutes impressed with the view.

5 Minutes I calmed down, and started thinking where I was now.

5 Minutes thinking maybe this was in the Other World, and definitely not on Earth.

And another 5 minutes to look back at the trees, to relax my mind.

I need to get moving.

First I need to check my condition.

"There were no injuries to my body, I did not see any strange changes in shape or appearance of any emblem. As you can see in fantasy stories in general. I also could not feel the increased magic power from my body. Personal items... I don't have anything. "

In short, I didn't bring anything with me because I was throwing garbage outside the house, I was suddenly moved here.

There is no smartphone or wallet full of coins, nor paper money from Earth. I only have one piece of paper in it.

After all, I was suddenly sent to a place like this without any explanation.

There is no reincarnation bonus either.

Wait, if I think about it calmly, I am not dead, so this is not reincarnation, but rather being transferred to the Other World.

Apparently, right now, it's night time. Above the trees began to darken.

Ah, there are stars that are several times larger than the moon, which can usually be seen from Japan.

It must be a celestial body from this planet - like the moon, because I can see the phase changes day and night, and if I can see the celestial bodies, I can see the celestial bodies, it's only natural that I think this planet is shaped like the solar system on Earth, isn't it?

Possibly similar to Earth is the science of Astronomy. Well, there was nothing more convenient than being transferred to the Otherworld with such a possibility.

” ―― Isn't it a bad idea to take a walk in the woods at night right?”

One way to know the direction at night is to look at the celestial body, but the arrangement of the stars is different, because this is the Other World.

As expected, finding something like the belt of Orion or Andromeda was impossible.

And if I think about it calmly, even if I know the direction, since I am in an unknown land, I do not know where I should go?

So, yeah, I can just keep going.

Fortunately, the plants around here glow, which means it is safer to walk around in the forest at night.

“I have to praise myself for wearing sneakers rather than sandals when taking out the trash.”

There was something I understood after walking randomly for approximately 1 hour.

Wherever I stepped, the ground level kept changing, and gradually I could feel the shape of the mountain.

Still, the mountain had a bad slope.

Also, it seems like my starting point is near the top of the mountain.

So, the first thing I have to do is go down the mountain. Next is to find the river.

As it walked down, something came to my mind, of course it was a way to survive.

I planned to eat nuts and drink the dew of the night to survive, but since I wasn't born a natural survivor, there would naturally be limits.

To be honest, drinking raw water at random was scary, so I put that as a last resort.

The reason finding a river is to determine a path rather than to hydrate yourself.

If the planet has not been explored by humanity, there is nothing I can do, but if there is humanity and its civilization, then the river can be the basis.

The famous ancient civilization flourished by growing crops around rivers, because it had nutrient-rich soil. I want to believe that this principle is also used in the Other World.

"Right, now the problem begins."

I muttered in a very slow voice. Of course, that's the problem.

Because I can see "it" from afar. Yep. A bear. A very large bear. Giant bear.

The bear I saw in the zoo did not even reach 2 meters, but this bear was at least about 4 meters tall.

Are bears nocturnal animals? I mean, the forest is bright. There must be a problem, right?

The animal was about 20 meters ahead, but I could see it clearly.

Well, I can see it clearly, because the plants here are glowing.

Why are you looking here 'bout? Am I going to be arrested?

I then thought for a moment, and I felt the spine freeze. It was an interesting experience.

Pretending dead? I'll just be a soft prey.

Escape? Bears are on the declining side, and chasing up the hill is a specialty of bears.

A fight? Hahaha, it is impossible, even if I have a weapon to hunt.

Meanwhile, the bear slowly approached while growling.

Think of. Think harder and find a solution quickly.

Uh! Absolutely right! There's a "it" method"!

" S, Glad & For _______________________________________________________________________________?__________________ "__________________________________________ "_________________________________________________________________________________________________________

The bear roared. Apparently, greeting him doesn't affect him.

Should I start running as fast as I can?

Well, I can't do that. My legs are shaking, so, I can't move.

And the bear that recognized me as an easy prey, started chasing me —

Suddenly, the bear was swallowed by a greenish-yellow liquid.

The liquid easily engulfed the entire body of that four-meter giant bear that had a high viscosity, however, it began to form a sphere, instead of spreading on the ground.

Along with the sad cry of the bear, a terrifying sound came from the liquid, and the inside of the liquid gradually turned black.

Bloods.

The blood of the bear looked black as it mixed with the liquid.

The bear's fur, skin, and flesh also melted at an abnormal speed. This liquid must have a will, after all, it ate a bear.

“... is it Slime? ”

For anyone who has ever played a fantasy RPG game before, it might be a quick find out.

The creature in front of me is Slime. It does not have a funny eye, or a mouth like certain famous games.

More than that, this Slime does not look like a monster that will give you a single digit experience points in RPG games.

The cries of pain of the bear echoed throughout the forest as he desperately tried to escape from within the slime.

However, it immediately became silent as a slime passage entered his mouth.

“Uuuhh... uhukk!! Uhuuk!!"

Seeing such a horrible, emotionless eating scene made me feel nauseous and cough.

If I saw this after eating, I would definitely vomit, but it ended up with the pain from the stomach acid that burned my throat.

However, at this point, I finally realized the fatal mistake I made.

That slime started to move towards me, probably because of my cough.

I should have run away immediately, while the bear was being eaten. I regret watching it, and I even made a stupid sound.

But, the slime was moving slower than the bear's walking speed. I don't think it's too late to escape now.

“——!?”

My body jumped to the side in fear before I could even think further.

My place just a moment ago, was swallowed by a slime.

That speed reminds me of a broken water balloon, or a water cannon.

The slime showed no reaction to its failure, and began to move towards me again.

Again, the Slime was moving slowly. I felt like I was being played even though there was no emotion from him.

I began to realize that this might be the last few minutes of my life.

"A... aaah..”.

Overwhelmed with fear, I couldn't let out my voice .

Randomly, I picked up a rock and threw it towards the Slime.

However, the stone I threw frantically flew without hitting the target.

The stone flew past the slime and let out a loud sound as it hit the tree trunk.

And, that Slime suddenly jumped.

“…?”

He jumped up to the tree behind him.

The tree collapsed due to its incredible size.

What an unexpected scene.

“Ap-what, the creature ate the tree.?”.

I think that Slime was reacting to the sound, or maybe it's more appropriate to say that it felt a vibration rather than the sound itself.

He attacked the bear as it roared, he reacted to my coughing, and when I let out a step, he attacked me. And just now, he attacked the tree which let out a loud noise.

Immediately, I looked around and picked up a medium-sized stone.

I'm standing.

Perhaps, the Slime realized that there was no prey in the place where he jumped earlier, and he started moving again as it reacted to my voice while standing up.

Then I threw the rock I took earlier into the furthest tree, trying to make a slight sound possible.

The rock hit a tree.

The slime reacted to the sound, and it jumped towards the sound, and the tree fell down as before.

At the same time, I began to flee as quickly as possible.

“Haah... Haah... Haah.

Along the way, I looked back repeatedly to see if something was chasing me. Fearing that something was there, I threw a stone at a nearby tree while still running away.

I don't know how far I ran.

As I was completely exhausted, I leaned against a nearby tree and breathed in gasps.

The sky was visible, and when I realized, the magical forest scene had turned into a forest with ordinary brown and green.

Huff.

It's amazing—but why am I in such a situation?

Why am I being transferred to a world like this?

According to the popular books I have read, there is always a reason behind this phenomenon of summoning, reincarnating, or being transferred to the Other World.

I mean, this body doesn't have any unique characteristics, and I'm not a descendant of a hero either.

If there was no particular reason, it was very likely that I was called by accident.

Mistakes in the actions of Gods? A failed call? Or the other one.

Well, at this point, I don't care if it's a mistake or a failure. I just want to see the surprised face of the 'Summoner' in front of me.

Being left in the mountains is too heavy for me.

"Being a hero then defeating the Demon King, or making a harem with a group of beautiful demi-human girls, or whatever, please let me live in peace.”.

Well, there's no point in complaining to someone who's not here.

Let's continue after the break.

Now that I had calmed down, I only realized that in this forest, I could feel the existence of ordinary living beings here and there.

The sound of birds chirping, cobwebs in the gaps between the trees, and, yes, there are no translucent trees around here.

I wonder if there are no decent animals to live here, since the Slime inhabits the place. Ah, and also a bear. Was the bear wandering by chance, or something?

But, why would a bear carelessly roam where the Slime is clearly taller than itself in the food chain ?

“Peach... I'm tired.”

I allowed myself to enter dreamland as I muttered.

◇

The meeting was taking place at the castle in Tiez Kingdom.

The knight captain wore their shining silver armor, and the elites serving King Tiez, were all present.

And of course, King Tiez, Marito Tiez, himself.

Marito, at the age of twenty-five, was a man of great caliber who inherited the throne and played an active King.

Just two years after he became King, he had already solved many problems within his kingdom, and had the overwhelming support of the citizens.

However, a troublesome matter had occurred, leading to the meeting now.

"Are the unsupervised traffickers attacked again?"

"Yes. The horse carriage we escorted could pass through it without any problem, but it seemed like those left behind had been attacked, only corpses were left.”

“Although they reap what they sow only for a small fortune, this would be a bad example if the traders who bring profit to our country were always attacked.”

In the neighboring Garne Kingdom, the King has made policy changes over the past few years. And because of the lunge, the crime rate around the Garne Kingdom had been drastically reduced.

However, as a result, the bandits and other villains came here.

Unlike Garne, where the plains lay vast, in a land of many mountains and forests like here, it was not difficult to establish a settlement of its own.

So, it was not unusual for many bandits to hide in unexplored places, attacking travelers whenever they had the chance.

Under Marito's discretion, the knights had been stationed around the town near the castle and surrounding villages to prevent further damage.

However, it is still difficult to make a safe path.

Although it was possible to send knights from the government as bodyguards, it certainly required money and manpower. There are not enough people to make it free.

In that situation, many merchants and travelers had no choice but to hire adventurers, but the size of the adventurer guild in Tiez Kingdom was rather small, due to the lack of interest in being adventurers compared to being knights.

Adventurer guilds in other countries might have enough personnel, but it was impossible to force other countries to send out bodyguards.

As a result, people tried to travel without escort, and were eventually attacked by bandits.

"If the bandits dare to attack, I will clean them with my sword..."

Said one of the knight captains, but Marito only sighed.

Indeed, the abilities of the knights in Tiez Kingdom are extremely high. Even some of them were enough to face over a hundred bandits.

However, the bandit seemed to know. So when the knights were escorting, they would not appear at all.

It would be an unwinnable battle if it fought fairly and honestly. In a sense, it was something natural.

“To clean up the bandits, it is important to know their whereabouts. Does anyone here have any plans to get out of this impasse?”

And like that, the knights were speechless. Previously, various ideas had been put forward, and although much was done, it all ended in failure.

The cunning bandits always passed the knights with their predictable patterns.

“I know that we have failed in hunting them on the mountain three times. But if we have a better understanding of the situation, I'm sure we can get results, I want to choose someone who will be responsible for dealing with the bandits who have become more aggressive lately. Is there someone who will do it? Or is there someone you want to recommend?”

If this was another task, the knights would take the initiative.

However, since some talented knight captains had failed, it seemed like they understood the difficulty level of the matter.

But, someone had raised his hand, it was Sir Ragdo, the oldest among the knight captains.

"My king, there's someone I want to recommend."

"Mr Ragdo, is there someone here you would like to recommend?"

“No, this is not someone here. However, everyone knows that the person I am referring to has extraordinary abilities. I would like to recommend Illias from my unit.”

The faces of the knight captains became a little displeased as the name appeared.

“What do you mean Illias Ratzell? Is that true?"

Marito knows Illias very well.

In terms of abilities, Illias could be said to be a talented person who would not lose, even when compared to a knight captain in swordsmanship, and there was nothing to question about his loyalty to the country.

However, his reputation was never good. The reason is——

"If it were" he was ", I'm sure he'd get the idea if viewed from a different perspective."

“Alright, I'll give you one month. I'll leave this matter to you."

It was self-esteem that might have been the reason for not wanting to acknowledge Illias' high abilities, and as a woman, only a few knights accepted Illias.

Sir Ragdo was one of the few people who thought highly of him, but as part of the minority, he was unable to establish a firm position for him.

If Illias managed to subdue the bandits, his reputation might change, but if he failed, he would most likely be looked down upon even further.

Marito also appreciated Illias, but he also knew that Illias was an honest knight.

There was some concern about whether this would be a good idea against the cunning bandits. But, it would be nice if this could lead him towards a bright future. That was what Marito had in mind as he worried about his future.
