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

Chapter 18: For Now, The More Confident - 1

Lately, I woke up with muscle pain, but this time I woke up with a headache.

"Have you called Obaba yet?"

"Yes, he'll be here soon."

My field of vision is unclear. And around me it feels noisy.

Somehow the scent of the beast was very strong.

"Hi! I wake up, can anyone hear me?

Someone's coming, who's that?

Track back my memories. I found a rare forest with Mr.Ban….

"I said, can you hear me or not !?"

“Ugh... Relax! You made my head hurt!?”

Hm? What the fuck are these people!?

I was sure my mind was clear but, that appearance, surprised me.

Some people surrounded me.

However, the people in front of me are like humans, of course their figure is human.

They have black hair!? this is the first time I've seen black hair in this world. Also the eyes were red, and the ears were covered in hair like an animal with a bushy tail.

….A tail?

Speaking of which, I think Illias said that there are some demi-humans in this world called elves.

Are they animal-men? Is it a dog or a wolf?

Wait, before that don't I have to do something about this? Both of my arms were tied back and my body was rolling on the ground.

Well, I'm sure this is it.

That's what they call prisoners.

"Sorry, but can you explain the current situation?"

“What's with this guy? What is he trying to say?”

"Who knows? just thought that he was talking something ... "

Hm?

What a strange answer, maybe this…

“Can't you guys understand what I'm saying? I mean I didn't do anything wrong . So, can you guys untie this?

“It looks like he's complaining about something..”.

“Can't understand it at all.”

They can't seem to understand my words. Wait, Is the Possession Magic exhausted?

By the time I was captured, it was the sixth day of Possession Magic, and if I fainted for most of the day.

No, wait. They can't understand my words, but I understand their words.

It was not Japanese, so they should have been able to understand this word as well.

Well, what Maya said about Possession Magic is…

『This is a nameless Magic. The target consciousness is temporarily possessed by the Spirit, it will translate any word into a common word. So, once you receive it, the word anyone says will translate into the word you know.』

I'm sure it's something like that.

Haha, so.

My words were translated into common words, but to me, who received the Possession Magic from Maya, the words they spoke were translated into words I could understand, is it like that?

That is, this Possession Magic made me speak English, but that did not mean they heard words in English.

It just makes me speak English. And made me able to hear words spoken in other languages translated into English.

Unfortunately my opponents don't necessarily speak the common language here.

It's more convenient than I expected, but there are times when it's useless and doesn't help at all!

“He has the same black hair as us, but he's not from our tribe. Could he be a Devil!?”

I shook my head hard.

One of them realized it.

“Just now, this guy shook his head. Could he understand our words?”

I nodded, and the others noticed.

“What are you? Answer it!"

"I can't speak with your words."

"What are you talking about? If you can understand our words, speak using them!

I shook my head.

"Could it be, you can't talk?"

“Is there such a thing? If you understand his words, you should be able to say them as well.”

I shook my head again.

"Looks, he could understand her words but couldn't speak."

I'm nodding.

“Hmm, what do you mean?… It looks like you're not lying. Come on, just leave it to Obaba.”.

I heard that earlier as well, It seems like someone like Obaba, is the head of this village.

Fortunately, they did not seem to be barbarians or races that ate humans.

If I can communicate well, I might be able to bring them to the negotiating table.

After a while, An Old Granny wearing something with a lot of embellishments, appeared.

Some hair color is lost, but instead of being white, it turns gray.

“This is it? Isn't he still a kid?”

“It looks like someone who is hunting, finding and catching him. There seemed to be someone else nearby, but when I noticed, she disappeared.”

Thanks for explaining the situation.

Well, Mr. Ban probably hid well when I was attacked.

The chances of him coming to help are…. Well, 50%? The rest, he would come to the rescue after returning once and asking for support.

Given Mr. Ban's personality, there was a high chance he would ask for help from someone like Grandpa Kara.

“Also, it seems like he can understand our words. But, he only said words that we could not understand.”

“Hmmm, this is weird. All right, let's see.”

The so-called Obaba put her hand on my forehead.

I remember seeing this scene somewhere...Maybe that time with Maya?

“So, this boy is possessed by the Spirit.. Well, then.”.

Obaba's hand shone, and something like heat flowed into my head.

“So, how, Nak?”

"... Did you do something to Possession Magic?"

"Oh! Talk, he talks!”

We can finally communicate.

“It seems someone has created an interesting magic. However, the method to translate a word to another is different from ours. I have put my Man into the spirit. ”

“... Do you do something with side effects too?”

“In retrospect, there was a place that was strangely distorted. I'm sorry but I can only ruin the magic a little bit. The person who cast the magic was very great.”

Maya, if you're really that good, I really hope you do something with that muscle pain quickly.

By the way, the fact that he entered Mana means I can chat for a while? That's very helpful, thank you.

“If the language is understandable, the story can be accelerated. I'm not gonna hurt you. And if there's something you want to ask, I'll do my best to answer it.”

And communication with them begins.

They were a tribe called "Black Wolves" and seemed to be only slightly different from ordinary humans.

In order to escape the Demon King who tried to fill the world with fear and destruction long ago, they moved into this hidden forest and blocked the path, and lived in secret until now.

That's their history.

I also received quite a lot of questions.

How did I get to this place from the outside?

Where did the other partner go?

Is the outside world still not destroyed?

I answered everything as far as I knew.

“There is no more Demon King…. That's impossible!"

“Well, I can't show you any evidence. But, since they have long since disappeared, no new Demon Lords can be seen, and now on this continent, humans make a country and live peacefully.”

"'Black Demon Lord' that ... is dead, you say?"

… Don't say that.

I honestly answered what was asked.

Similarly, it's okay to talk about Mr. Ban because it's unclear if he's still hiding near here or he's gone.

"He's not the one who abandoned his friends, but he's not strong, there's a good chance he's gathering people and will come back here."

“What!?… so in the end, this will be a fight!?”

Huh, noisy young man.

“No, it can be prevented. Fortunately, if I was still living like this, I would just have to persuade my comrades later. And it was also our fault to enter your forest without permission.”

"Don't tell me you want us to let you go now?"

“If you do that, you will feel restless. So, I will persuade them in front of you so that you are sure. And until then, may I stay in the village for a while?”

"…okay.OK. But can't you listen to some of our requests?

"depends. Let me hear it first.”

“We have lived in this forest for a long time and lost connection with the outside world. But .. Now, our tribe's resources are gradually declining.After all, I find it difficult to live forever in this narrow forest."

“So, you want to transact with people outside?”

"That's right. Well, you can understand our words and the words of an outsider. Can't I ask you to bridge us?”

"I don't have a problem with that. From the beginning, many of the plants in this forest were valuable. If there's someone who can manage here, I'm sure many will support."

Trading with the unknown can have differences between Kingdoms.

But Tiez Kingdom, knowing the merchant there has someone like Mr. Ban, I'm sure it won't end badly.

“But, I'll be in trouble if you hand everything over to me. I'll just be the bridge, so let your representatives do the negotiations, agree?

"really. Well, that's a deal."

"Obaba, is this really okay?"

“He didn't lie at all. It's okay to believe it."

Was this person also the type who could detect lies, was he using a technique?

Even though I did my best just to act like someone who was easily deceived.

"By the way, how long have I fainted?"

“Not that long. The sun has not yet set. Erms.. That... I'm sorry.”

Apparently, this guy was the one who attacked me.

“Don't worry, Even if you try to talk to me, it will be difficult. I understand your position, taking other people into consideration, there is a possibility that the two of them will escape and gather people later on. If that happens, negotiations can get complicated. In that sense, not everything ends badly.”

"I, I get it."

“Hmm... how about this, instead, show me the life of this village. I feel the need to deepen the understanding of this village.”

And then this guy led me around the village.

There are many houses that feel a little old-fashioned.

Looks like there's a field a little far from here.

People gathered in places like the square, and it seemed that they shared the fruits and animals harvested today.

"Animals can still be hunted even though this is a closed forest?."

“The beast can cross the mountain. And occasionally come here and attack our cattle, so we always explore the forest every day.”

I-i understand.

I heard the sound of wooden tools colliding with each other.

Men practice with wooden sticks out in the open.

Their movements were much faster than the bandits.

When compared to the knights - Although they were flexible, but still felt inferior in terms of skill.

“I don't think you need to practice that much if your opponent is just a wild beast.”

“Because we don't know when the Demon King's army will come. We never forget to train like warriors every day.”

This village was built because of that.

Although it was a remote village, it seemed that this village had a population of over a hundred.

Sometimes someone looks at me with interest, but his eyes are curious rather than frightened or anxious.

"Stay, you're tolerant of people who come from outside, aren't you? ."

“That's because the situation has already been communicated to the whole village.”

So, everyone's relationship with each other is as good as it is, yes….

As the population grows, humans are less willing to engage with others.

Of course, not all humans are involved in the life of one person.

However, in a village of this size, the number of people we met was limited, and easy to count.

That is why communication with each other is so important, and living as a family.

Hmm, something like this exists, yes.

As a person who is not good at socializing, it seems like a painful story.

After that, I was taken by the guide to look around the village and get other information.

And finally, I was guided to the entrance of the village.

The sky was already bright red, they would not be able to guide me out, and it was bad to make them worry that I would escape.

Then I looked around harshly without showing too much interest.

"….Hmm?"

Suddenly, I could see the children near the entrance.

The noisy and mischievous boy picked up rocks and tree branches and threw them at something outside the entrance.

Is it a dump or something? Still, it had a form that people could use to live.

But, it was wrong to call it a hut. It was like tree debris and straw.

“What's there?”

“Oh, you better stay away from that. Or you might be cursed."

"Cursed? Is it something dangerous?”

"Yes, it's a 'Cursed Child' nest'."

'Cursed Child'?

As I thought so, someone appeared from within.

At first, I remembered the appearance of a homeless man or a person suffering from poverty that I had seen abroad, I did not like.

But when I look at that figure as a whole. I felt the beauty of the figure and took a deep breath.

Clean white hair that looks transparent, although not trimmed and grows freely.

He was wearing tattered clothes that could not be called clothes, and although his entire body was dirty by the mud, his white skin was visible.

Her figure was the same as that of the black wolf tribe, but she was a girl in white who had no black stains.

"That's…"

The girl named 'Cursed Children' looked at the children with fear.

Then the children shouted, throwing stones and sticks.

The girl hurriedly retreated to the ruins.

And the laughter of children that can be heard.

That's not all. The adults around me were also smiling while watching the children.

Whatisthis?

My field of vision became shaky.

The smiles of the villagers were unpleasant.

This feeling is not new to me at all.

I've experienced this in Japan…

“Come back now. The sun has set."

“….Why is that girl in such a place?”

"Why? That's because he's cursed. You saw his appearance, right?

The driver tilted his head at me like he saw something strange.

I closed my eyes and exhaled.

They just, don't understand anything.

Then, it's not this guy I should ask.

I turned my gaze to the ruins once more and headed towards the place of Obaba.

"Take me to the place of Obaba now! "
