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

Chapter 24: For Now, I'm Adapting - 1

So, here it is, the last chapter for this arc.

Illias sent me a horse-drawn carriage for the ride home, but it seems she herself has not been able to return home.

I was told that he could only go home at night, so I went to the Mr. Ban Trading Company first.

While praising Wolfe who had been working hard waiting for me, I changed my real clothes while talking to Mr. Ban.

I hid the fact that I came from another world. But how do I tell him that I'm employed by Marito?

I honestly don't want to say that I was hired as Court Jester. The cool image I have will disappear.

That's why let's follow the story that the king is interested in me and ask me to come and talk for a while.

Mr. Ban was very happy to hear that.

After all, I had the opportunity to speak directly to the King about his help.

Tiez's unexplored land search plan will no longer be an imaginary story.

After that, I bought some products and went home with Wolfe.

First, prepare food for Wolfe that is simple and easy.

After that, I learned the language with Wolfe to pass the time.

While doing so, Illias returned.

"good job. But, you can't rest yet.”

"It.." (Illias)

What I served at the table was alcohol and a simple side dish prepared by Mr. Ban.

Yes, it's a three-person celebration to close the day.

If I had more time to prepare beforehand, I might have been able to hold a large-scale event by inviting Saira and Grandpa Kara, but since the time wasn't much, I guess it was enough with just the three of us.

Actually the 'Dog's Bone' restaurant is still open, but many other customers are too. I want to close the day with only those who can congratulate him sincerely.

“Illias, Good job, Congratulations!” (Wolf)

“Even Wolfe... Thank you.” (Illian)

And although not much, we want to appreciate his efforts.

The night is really over. Wolfe was sleeping on the table.

He falls asleep very easily. I covered him with a blanket and went to drink again with Illias.

“By the way, in the future Marito told me to come to the castle.”

“So, to the castle yes..Wait, don't call His Majesty like that!”(Illias)

"What can I do? He asked for it himself. I know that I have to be careful when mentioning his name around others.”

“I, I understand..”(Illias)

Illias made a slightly complicated face.

It's not that I can't understand what he's feeling.

Although he appreciates this, my position as the one who was with him all this time with the King he served, it is complicated.

“But he's a good king. He appreciates you Illias and also cares about your problems.”

"Your Majesty is ... Yeah, I get it."((Illias)

“Illias, you are recognized by the number one person in this kingdom. So, the rest depends on your development.”

"Yes that's right."((Illias)

It's the first time I've seen Illias make a face of embarrassment. Not bad, it's refreshing to see.

“Because of that, I plan to go to Maya's place tomorrow. Do you think Maya has a lot of free time?”

“That's not the problem. Depending on the show sometimes he is the host. So, it is difficult to meet at such a time.”(Illias)

"Events, yes ... You mean like a festival?"

“Ya there is a festival too. Vibrant festivals where people can participate freely, and sometimes large-scale festivals are only held inside Yugura.”(Illias)

"Where is this time?"

"First of all, it's a harvest festival."((Illias)

“It seems better to find another Wolfe teacher then... Is there a school... I mean a place to study in this kingdom?”.

"There was. Where to learn to read, write, and history for young children who can not work.”(Illias)

“Wolfe can…. No, it would be troublesome considering his age.”

“And he will stand out..”(Illias)

I saw Wolfe's slumbering face.

I wanted to create an environment where Wolfe wasn't treated specifically as much as possible.

Right now, I am trying to memorize various knowledge, but I hope that in the end I will get to know this kingdom.

The boy is pure. They say what they think without hesitation.

Although it was impossible to cause trouble, it would still burden Wolfe mentally.

“I have to learn faster and become a Shisho for him.”

"Yes my. Until now, haven't you always been taken care of by Maya?”(Illias)

It's embarrassing to admit it, but it's true.

As Wolfe's 'Shisho', all I'm going to teach him is about homework and life.

Still, it is difficult to teach the art of life without having good knowledge.

I need to quietly prepare myself until then. By the way, let's move on to another topic.

“If I ask Marito, he might be able to prepare such a place. Place close to the training ground so, it looks like combat training can be done at the same time.”

“When Wolfe is proficient enough, he can also join my training team. Not just him, I mean you too, you know?”(Illias)

"I'll do it, when I feel it..."

In physical strength, compared to Wolfe, I am no match for him.

And there were almost no signs of pursuing him with this big difference in talent.

Its alright. Even in the fantasy world of swords and magic, there were still merchants!

“And about the house, Marito proposed to prepare one for me near the castle.”

“.....”(Illias)

Marito suggested that if I should go to the castle every day, I would rather stay somewhere near the castle than in the house of Illias.

If it was the area where the nobles lived, then it was close to the Trade Company of Lord Ban.

“But I refused it. So, allow me to stay here a little longer.”

“Why... Why did you refuse?”(Illias)

“First, it's because of Wolfe. Wolfe likes you Illias.”

Wolfe sneaks into Illias' bed at night.

He doesn't want to remember when he's alone.

If I change my place of residence, Wolfe will follow me.

If that happens, it's not good for my mental health.

She was only ten years old, so I was sure I could control myself.

"really. Of course it will be difficult to take care of Wolfe alone.”(Illias)

“And my other reason is for myself. I mean, you know... I told you that I'm not familiar with this world, right?”

"Y, yeah."((Illias)

“I'm still worried about living in this kingdom…. That's it."

I told him how much I was worried about Wolfe, but honestly, I was the one who was worried.

Of course, after about a week I came to this kingdom, my acquaintances increased.

Still, there are only a few people I can rely on.

With Wolfe with me, I might not feel lonely. However, when I thought that I would live while taking care of a girl in another world, my anxiety would increase.

Although I try to keep my image as an adult because he is younger, actually the person who depends on others the most is myself.

I should be able to live alone in this world because I live in Japan.

However, not long after I was sent to another world, I almost died.

Also, the fact that I was unable to understand anyone at first, it almost broke my heart.

I was almost fooled into thinking that it was a new experience.I realized that it was only a matter of time before things didn't work out.

Can I not lose myself until I adapt to this world? Or the…

Under such circumstances, Illias' existence was excellent.

He gave me a way to talk. He gave me a chance. And he even gave me a place to live.

It became my platform to face this world.

Because he was there.

I refused because I would be lonely if I left, and because I was still sentimental!

When I get home, it's always just me. But when I came home that day, I saw Illias waiting at the front door, and I thought

『Yes, life like this is not bad either.』.

I sighed and looked towards Illias. He still has a flat face.

"I'm going to sleep."

I stood up and tried to lift Wolfe.

Wait, given his age, he might still be light. Still, to carry a sleeping woman in her late teens, this was a very strenuous physical job.

When I brought Illias back last time, she was quite heavy.

Because, his body was already like an adult.

"Wait wait! I'll carry it. No, I don't mean, of course I'll carry it, and the real meaning of the words you said just now, I understand.. ”(Illias).

“Picture it with good meaning. That's the right answer. Well, then, I'll hand Wolfe over to you.”

After saying that, I headed to my room.

If I had a little more alcohol and my tension increased, I could express my gratitude to him honestly….

“That means I am also still immature.”.

I fell into bed and slept.

◇

Illias put Wolfe in her bedroom.

He smiled at his sleeping face.

He wondered if Wolfe would come to his room in the middle of the night, and he didn't mind.

He remembered his words.

Just show it in a good way. That's the right answer, yes…

He wants to count on me. And he showed his intention in action.

And admit.

No, wait.

That's it, maybe I've considered what I think is good.

There may be another meaning behind his words.

“Why... why am I so excited..”.

She is under his protection, but he also takes care of her.

Illias considered their relationship equal.

He was happy to hear it from such a person, but he also felt awkward.

Not bad.

Ever since he met her, he had more opportunities and experiences with new things that didn't seem bad.

But Illias knew that his deeds were for himself and his surroundings.

That method was not something that many people could praise, but it seemed like he was doing his best.

Now he thought that he wanted the young man to depend on him.

He also wants to protect her.

Stimulated by the desire to protect her…. What an amazing man!

“But, he's that age. That's not good. As expected, I need to train him!"

Illias with her unnecessary determination, returned to her room.
