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

Chapter 2 For Now, Please Help Me.

I'mawakened.

My body is very sick. Rather than muscle pain, it's more like when my legs are buried in lactic acid.

But I'm still standing. No one can be the target of my complaints, so I can't be spoiled.

It is now nearing noon. There is something similar to the sun, but is it called the sun also in this world ?

When I looked back at that magical forest, I could no longer see it.

Other than Slime, there was a chance the bear would appear again, so I had to cross it carefully.

I looked for what looked like peanuts as I walked. It is understandable that I am getting hungry.

Luckily I found what looks like a raspberry. I threw one in my mouth and saw how he reacted.

There is sweetness, but the sour taste is very strong. To be honest, it's not delicious, but it doesn't numb my tongue, so it looks like it's edible.

I decided not to eat it all at once just in case and continued forward while taking the time to eat it up a little.

From here on the difficulty increases.

“Ugh. Again, yes.”.

Call it my place before her is the Slime Zone. Now this area that I belong to has insects instead. There are cobwebs here and there, so this is very troublesome.

Besides, the slope suddenly became sharper, and now it felt like I was going down the mountain.

If I concentrate too much on spider webs, I might slip.

I used the stick I picked up to clean the cobwebs as I continued on my way. My fatigue obviously increased from here on out.

I pushed my way through the branches and branches of the trees.

I even get hit by those twigs and branches every once in a while, and it hurts.

It's great I'm wearing a long sleeve shirt. If it was summer and I was walking around in a short-sleeved shirt, I would be in a tragic state right now.

The more walking I realized the presence of the path and had already come out of the mountain area. It made me realize how grateful I was on the path.

If I can conquer this mountain, I believe I can also climb Mount Fuji. So I just need to train my stamina.

To be honest compared to here, the Slime Zone was several times better. I want to go back there. But Slime is scary, so I won't.

A new voice came into my ear as I thought that.

“...Hmmm? This voice..”

Thas right. This is the sound I have been craving all this time.

My steps accelerated as I headed towards the source of the sound.

And then, what entered my view was a river.

It was shallow and thin, but it was an honest word as I looked at the river.

I immediately ran towards the riverbank overwhelmed with emotion and started to take water.

I wanted to drink it, but I had to hold back. It would be one or two things if this was the upstream where the spring came out, but there were many factors to worry about if it was true.

I washed my face and hair, and cleaned the cobwebs in my body.

I feel a lot fresher now that the discomfort is gone.

So, I decided to take a short break in this river.

After that, I walked down the river, observed and wondered if I could fish, and then I found something surprising.

A rope.

“O-Oooh.”

Of course I will let out my voice in admiration. Even if I have been thrown into the Otherworld, there is still a problem whether there really is anyone in this world.

The mystery will soon be revealed here, you know? This is proof of civilization! The yahoo!

Actually, this is proof that people have already passed here, right? Could there be a way up the mountain nearby? This was the thought I had and decided to explore the surroundings.

The result: there is. Can't really call it a road, but there are twigs and branches of trees that I know were deliberately broken!

I considered the possibility of the beast destroying it, but I also found pieces whose shape seemed to be the result of sharp weapons. My excitement level is rising!

I advanced through that path while feeling a grin coming out of my mouth.

After a while, I entered an area where I could see a rocky area here and there. And then I found a cave.

There was one pedestal on the side of the entrance that seemed like it was for a torch, and I could see the marks were used recently.

It's already been arranged, right? Have I found the first villagers?!

“... No, wait a minute.”

Let's think about who would live in a place like this?

There's Slime, you know? Wouldn't there be monsters like goblins too? Even if it's a human, isn't it a bandit?

pattern 1: Goblin.

“Man, eat. Eat human... be strong.”

“Gyaaah!”

pattern 2: Bandits.

“Ooh, you got some weird clothes in there. Hand over everything.”

“Gyaaah!”

- Pattern 3: Hermits.

"training."

“Gyaaah!”

Not okay. I have to confirm the truth of the matter.

So, I looked around uneasily from the location where I could hide and observe the entrance.

I looked for a suitable location, secured it, and started lying down.

Let's stay alert here for a while.

After 1 hour of waiting…

I'm not sleeping, okay? My consciousness flew away, but I did not sleep.

I heard the sound of people talking, so I peeked at the entrance of the cave while hiding in the bushes.

There are 2 people there. His clothes were quite rough and muscular.

I held back the happiness that I ended up meeting people. But those guys look like bandits. They even have things like swords and axes on their waists, you know?

But I can't judge based on his appearance. Maybe they are actually very nice people and we might end up in a relationship where we call each other brothers.

Ah, no, no way. They let out something obvious that it was a human hand…

Besides, I don't know what they're saying at all.

Not because of the dialect they speak; the language is different.

Obviously it's not a popular language, and I doubt they'll understand Japanese.

The Other World and in front there were bandits that you could not communicate with. There is no future but to be attacked.

To be honest I don't even like watching this, but I will observe the situation even longer. The arms they took out had what looked like gems and metal chains wrapped around.

This was just my assumption, but maybe they found the accessory on the arm of a merchant or rich person that they ambushed was too troublesome to remove back then, so decided to take their entire arm instead.

It reminds me of a story about a man in a country who cut off someone's entire arm to steal his watch.

They might be aware of me if I stare at them too often, so let's hide quietly again and wait for them to enter the cave or leave.

The bandits entered the cave after a while.

It seemed, the road they had been on before was heading to a pretty good location.

But I'm afraid of passing their other colleagues. What am I supposed to do?

I found the road that the man was walking.

It would be foolish to follow that path blindly, so I decided to hide while moving forward.

Although there was an easier path right in front of my eyes, that was how I felt, but I held it back.

I'd rather choose the hard road than face the bandits among the mountains.

Yeah, I was right.

I passed the bandits while I was sneaking.

I passed about 10 of them. Almost got caught.

I might be mass-producing a bucket of cold sweat when I see one of them grabbing their axe.

But thanks to that, I did not forget that path. I'm really grateful.

So, finally, I finished going down the mountain!

"Well, it's more than an ordinary forest."

I found a way. It's not a paved road, but it's a road that I think has been passed by horse-drawn carriages many times. All that remains is to follow this path, and I am sure that I will be able to reach the place where good people live. I'm so happy that I don't care about hunger or anything like that.

My joy cannot be measured.

I was attacked by a bear. Well, bear-san was eaten before. Attacked by the Slime, down a steep mountain road, and…

Uuuh, I'm a little teary-eyed because of emotions. I had to doodle the trees around to celebrate this joy with the rocks I took.

{Back from the wild}.

Now, let's decide where we should continue our journey with my comrade-in-arms, the Spider's nest-cutting sword <>. Wait, where is he ?

“... oh, apparently you fell"

I swore I would keep my comrade, who had accompanied me so that I would go on.

◇◇

"Dude, this time our harvest is good too!"

“Yes, check this bracelet. I couldn't get it off her, so I brought her whole arm.”

"I hope you don't stain other treasures with blood."

“After all you can wash it in the river. Uh, where did I put the rope?”

◇◇

- en route.

"Wait, someone's moving."

“Animals, right? If it's a bear, we'll just beat it.”

“I will use detection magic just in case. Hold this Magic Sealing Stone and stay away.”

"Okay, okay."

“—Not exposed at all with Mana Detection. Is it an animal?”

"I told you so."

"Let's take a detour just in case and return to the hiding place."

“Good.”

◇◇

“Finally... Finally..!”.

That's right, I finally found it.

What was in front of my eyes was a fortress that stretched far from left and right.

There's a giant castle gate at the end of the road.

I could see a fantasy classic world castle that was mostly green-blue in color.

I'd say it's a pretty big castle when measured by distance.

And I feel like the city around the castle has a pretty big scale as well.

I approached the gate while feeling this happiness.

“Hei! Please me~!”

And then, I remembered that they didn't understand what I was saying.

“Ah, yes, sorry.”

The guards guarding the gate pointed their spears at me, shouting something, and I was captured.

Of course strange intruders who speak an unknown language will be arrested. It is remarkable that their civilization advanced so well.

I was then taken to a barracks on the side of the castle, and thrown into a cell.

Ah, but there's a mat, so I can sleep well there.

I tried to get rid of my fatigue, because I only slept for a while in the forest. Let's sleep for now.

I doubt this will be worse than being attacked by bandits. I didn't bring shit to myself here did I?

"Good night. Zzz...”

I was knocked awake a few minutes later.

◇◇

- At gate.

“Oi, stop. I've never seen your clothes before.”

“—! ——!”

"What did he say?"

“Black hair and unfamiliar words..Oi, could this be the language of the devil? Is he a demon?!”

"Huh?! Oi, don't move! Quiet down!”

"-, —, ———-."

"Senpai, what are we doing with this guy?"

"Let's throw him to the prison in the barracks for now and leave the rest to Illias-san."

◇◇

Illias Ratzel is in trouble.

He was summoned by his superior, Lord Ragudo, the other day, and given a mission to conquer the bandits.

He respected Lord Ragudo who evaluated abilities regardless of gender, and he understood that he had high expectations for her.

However, he had heard about the rumors of the bandits' conquest. A number of knights had carried out this mission, but were unable to give good results.

Not because they are incompetent. From the reports he had heard, there were some methods that even Illias himself might take.

But the bandits went beyond that.

They would appear at every location and disappear into the forest and mountains.

They would never challenge strong knights, and continue to attack weak civilians.

Illias acted as an escort a few days ago, but the merchants minutes behind her were ambushed and died.

Even his arm was cut off to steal his precious items, left there, and bled to death. How much pain and fear did he feel there?

“But I have to answer Lord Ragudo's wishes..” (Illias).

All the good ideas had been put out by the people before him. Is this something he can achieve?

If he was told to slash all the bandits alone, he had the confidence to finish it off. It's not arrogance but truth.

His father was a knight who was killed while on duty in the battle against the demons. His Cleric mother - a white priest - also followed him at the time.

Illias was saddened by it, but she saw their brave figure and her eyes burned so much that she chose the path as a knight.

He trained diligently and earnestly, his strength recognized, and was assigned to the Ragudo God Division.

She filled her flaws as a pure woman with her own efforts, and she displayed her overflowing strength.

But that was his only skill with the sword.

If he could not show any results, his own standing would be further restricted.

Few people rated him highly.

The men whose pride was destroyed were jealous of him; the women who witnessed him using his abnormal power would feel fear.

What he wanted was to live his life as a knight instead of evaluating himself as a knight.

But it still bothers him.

His anger towards the bandits, the pressure as a knight; the various emotions mixed together and made him uneasy.

"I'm lacking practice ..."

He continued his patrol while laughing at his troubled heart.

And then, a report came in.

“Illias-san, the gatekeeper at the castle gate wants you to come to the barracks. They apparently caught the devil.”

"…Huh?" (Illian)

He let out a dumbfounded voice as his problem suddenly increased.

He hurriedly headed towards the barracks that the gatekeepers used.

The barracks were right after coming out of the gate. The place was simple, but equipped with a prison, so when there was a problem happening at the gate, it could be taken care of right there.

"So, is he the one?" (Illian)

There was a black-haired young man.

He slept very comfortably in the cell.

He had almost never seen any black hair in this region, and it was the color many humanoid demons had found.

He was on guard once he got there, but once he looked closely, he could tell right away. He could not sense any threat from this man.

He tried to detect Mana just in case, but the Mana inside the man was insignificant. This was the first time he had seen a human with such little Mana. His clothes were very dirty, but on a closer look, it was very well made, and for his boots, it was made of materials he had never seen before.

According to the gatekeeper, the man spoke a strange language…

He readied his sword just in case, had the guards open the cells, and started to enter.

"Oi, wake up." (Illian)

There was no response. The man slept with a very good face there.

"Ooi." (Illian)

He shakes his shoulders. Not awake. The man was still sleeping with a very good face.

“Bangun~.” (Illian)

He slapped her cheek lightly. He reacted, but still slept.

"Wake up." (Illian)

He slapped her hard. Ah, she's up.

The man peeked at her with a sleepy face, muttered something, then went back to sleep.

“…”

The man finally woke up after he hit him with his sheathed sword.
