Chapter 489: I Expected to Meet Again, but This Is Far Too Soon.
This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl
Yosh.We landed in a forest, slightly off the main road. Faced with this all-too-familiar scene, Tia, who had let go of my hand, muttered softly.
Its always a forest, isnt it?
Haha, well, when we need a place thats out of sight but not too far from town, it usually ends up being somewhere like this. Would you prefer to always be in a wooden box instead?
The forest is fine. But I feel like weve had this exact conversation before, quite a while ago. Am I imagining things?
I dont remember, but we probably have. Even though the number on the door reset because I died halfway through, weve actually visited over 20 different worlds by now, right? With that many comings and goings, its natural to have the same reactions.
Fufu, thats true.
Even if we call them different worlds, as long as a world exists as a world, its fundamental laws cant be too different. Especially if its a place where ordinary humans like me can live.
Even Gintas water world was just people living underwater, and Canals world was simply one possible outcome of pursuing technology. Truly different other worlds in the real sense probably arent included among these 100 worlds.
Well, itd be troublesome if they were included. I definitely couldnt spend half a year befriending some entity thats like a wave of vivid light in a world with no up or down. Yep, normality is wonderful.
Well, this isnt the time to be chatting leisurely. Lets hurry, Tia.
Ah, right. Got it!
After confirming Tias nod, we started running through the forest. Our destination was a small village deep inside, which should currently be under attack by demonic beasts.
The first time around, I heard the commotion while walking through the forest and faced the horde of demonic beasts to protect the village. Then, by chance, a hero who was traveling nearby appeared, and we fought together to successfully repel the beasts. Seeing my fighting skills, the hero invited me to join his party That was how I joined the heros party in this world.
So, of course, I was aiming for that this time too, but
Huh?
As we approached the village, a strong smell of blood wafted towards us. I panicked, thinking maybe the scale or timing of the attack had changed, but as we got closer, what we saw was a mountain of magnificently defeated demonic beast corpses.
What in the world?
My, my, what a late entrance!
Eh!?
Suddenly hearing a familiar voice from the side, I turned in surprise. There stood someone with fiery red hair and slightly sharp, upturned eyes Wait a minute!?
Luka!? Why are you here!?
Eh? Sure, Im Luka, but how do you know me, Onii-san? Oh, could it be youre a fan of mine because Im so cute?
What nonsense are you spouting!? I have questions for you
Kyaa!
As Luka looked up at me with upturned eyes, leaning slightly forward, I strongly objected and reached out to grab Lukas shoulder, who was about a head shorter than me. Luka let out an exaggerated scream, and Tia grabbed my arm to pull me away from Luka.
Hey Ed, what are you doing!?
Tia!? No, this guy is
Whats all this commotion?
The owner of the additional voice was a young man with golden hair and blue eyes, slightly taller than me, with a gallant face. He was the hero of this world, but Luka quickly ran over to the heros side.
Yuusha-sama!
Luka? I heard a scream, did something happen?
No, nothing. That person just tried to touch me because Im so cute.
I see Hm!
Ouch!?
The hero brought his hand down in a straight chop on Lukas head as Luka was swaying his hips.
You provoked them with your nonsense again, didnt you? Honestly, you have real skill, so why are you so restless!?
Eeh, thats such an unfair accusation, Yuusha-sama! Its true that person grabbed me! Look, that cute young lady over there can testify, right?
Eh, me!? Well, its true that Ed did grab him, but
Is that so?
The hero looked at me with a slightly furrowed brow as Tia spoke with a troubled expression. Hmm, this situation ah, I see.
Yes, thats right. That person looked, sounded, and acted exactly like someone I know very very well.
Oh? I see
Eh, what? Why are you staring at me too, Yuusha-sama!? Ah, could it be that Yuusha-sama has finally realized my charm Ouch!?
As Luka was being stared at intently by both me and the hero, blushing and looking embarrassed, the heros chop struck again.
Why are you hitting my head!?
Thats of course
Thats obviously
Because of your usual behavior, we said in unison.
Luka, teary-eyed, ran to hug Tia.
Waaah! Elf onee-san, theyre bullying me!
Ah, yes, there, there. Hey Ed, you shouldnt bully such a cute girl, okay?
No, thats a guy. Probably. And hes only two years younger than me, so hes definitely an adult.
Eh!? No way!?
Tia looked at Luka, who was firmly hugging her chest, with shocked eyes as I pointed out with a sidelong glance. But despite being exposed, Luka didnt seem bothered at all.
Hehe! Age and gender dont matter when it comes to cuteness! Im the eternally cute, ideal junior!
Who cares, idiot! Just get away from Tia!
Afun!
I forcefully pulled Luka, who was sticking his tongue out while still hugging Tia, away. Luka stumbled but gracefully spun once on the spot, then approached the hero again.
Waaah, Yuusha-sama! Mmph!?
But the heros extended arm roughly grabbed Lukas face, preventing him from hugging. Then, with an exasperated sigh, he turned to face me again and spoke.
Haah Come to think of it, we havent even introduced ourselves yet. Im Lorenz. People call me the hero.
Hi, Im Luka! Yuusha-samas best companion!
Ah Um, Im Ed, an adventurer who drifted to this area recently. And this is
Im Lunaritia. An adventurer traveling with Ed.
Hmm, Ed and Lunaritia. If youre adventurers, were you taking on a job in this village?
No, we heard the sounds of demonic beasts and thought the village might be under attack, so we rushed here. But looking at this situation, it seems we werent needed.
As I glanced around at the carnage limited to demonic beasts, Lorenz showed a pleased smile.
I see. No, your modesty isnt necessary. The act of those with power trying to help those without is noble, regardless of the outcome Hmm, in that case, would you be interested in taking on a request from me?
A request?
Yes, thats right. Weve defeated them, but cleaning up this many demonic beast corpses is quite a task. If youre not in a hurry, Id appreciate your help.
If thats the case, wed be glad to. Right, Tia?
Of course! It would be terrible if diseases spread if we left them like this.
Great! It seems my judgment wasnt wrong after all.
Lorenz extended his hand with a pleased voice as we nodded at each other in agreement. Grasping it firmly in return sealed the deal.
Im counting on you both.
Leave it to us.
Eeh, Yuusha-sama and I are enough for this! Or maybe we could ask the villagers to help?
We cant borrow that many valuable workers from such a small village! Youre being too selfish this time!
Mmmm
Scolded by Lorenz, Luka puffed his cheeks and looked away. It was certainly not the behavior of an 18-year-old man, but with his small, delicate body and face that looked like a beautiful girls, even this seemed cute, which was quite terrifying.
Well, putting that aside, although we didnt manage to join the heros party as planned, we at least succeeded in establishin a connection with them.
