Chapter 19

2/3

Sorry for the delay . I translated the R18 version of chapter 18 . It was a half-assed translation though . Read it if youre curious why he thought that would break .

Anyway, I changed Toryapka into Tryapka . Tryapka or means rag since shes some sort of maid Damn author and his stupid names The MCs parents are hail and sleet, his friends are named schinken, speck and wurst then this Oh, I also brought back the footnotes .

Disclaimer: I don't guarantee that this is 100% accurate .

Please let me know if there are any mistakes in my translations .

Chapter 19: That time when I was also needed for the harvest this year

Because of the use of Wind Cutterduring last years harvest, it seems like they got several villagers who could use wind magic and made them practice at a near by plain . Because of that, the speed of our harvest has rapidly increased and they also assigned people to be in charge with that task . Village chief, please dont expect too much from the students .

To make it simpler, they took the number people who could use that magic and divided them into the number of fields . Since I was originally Japanese, Im making use of our characteristic efficiency so in order to finish faster and harvest more than last year, we placed some workers on rotation to help those who were working slowly . Of course, those who cant use wind cutter are just assigned to collect the wheat .

By the way, since they were using the plain to practice on their own, there are a lot of uneven portions on it . It seems like they practiced quite a lot .

Yo, Schinken, I came to help Aa, thats a huge help . This is surprisingly complicated, isnt it? Its hard since youll graze the ground if focus on not making a mistake with the distance too much . Actually, isnt it just Caam being unexpectedly amazing? Well, thats because I did it last year

Was what I said to gloss it over .

Even my mother saidMu, Im not sure how to make slight adjustmentssince she was having difficulty stabilizing the cutting end when she first started

That reliable Arc-san? I only saw her as someone dependable but I guess she also has these cute points . Shes perfect with the bow though .

People using the magic was probably running out of magic power since theyre starting to be unsteady on their feet . I heard someone saying, Even when I was diving in dungeons before, Ive never seen magic used like this you know!! . So there are dungeons in this world

The harvest just took two days to finish . It was quick since we had a lot of people . Or as a certain used to say, War is all about numbers! . Human-wave tactics is truly magnificent .

By the way, I already received theOffensive AttributeWind: 2announcement a while ago .

Oi oi, Caam-kun

A sullen werecat ossan called out to me .

What is it? We finished the harvest this year with a lot of leeway as expected, right? Do you want to help in dismantling a pig? You should know it if your planning to hunt a wild boar next time

Said the werewolf ossan while grinning .

Y-yeah, sure . Please teach me

I answered immediately replied since I thought I absolutely wouldnt be able to run away and they took me away like an alien that was caught1 . Its like they were expecting this .

When we arrived, there was a prior visitor there .

Yo so you were caught too!

Wurst called out to me . With that said, it seems like they really were teaching the youth . The first animal was thoroughly stripped as an example for teaching . The second one was just partially dismantled and the third one was completely left as is . I kept on telling myself This is work, this is just work . This is just practice, Im just practicing in my head as started cutting it up . A lot of things are difficult to handle if youre not used to this . Like the smell, for example .

Taking a short break, I saw Suzuran in my field of vision gleefully strangling a chicken . Are you looking forward to karaage that much? When our eyes met, she showed me a terrifying smile while wiping off the blood that splattered on her cheek . Her appearance is somewhat scary .

I guess their chickens have started to increase bit by bit ever since they made that chicken coop . When I tried asking,

Do you know the recipe for karaage?

Her face paled and she hung her head down while weakly replying,

Dont know

I couldnt forget the look she had like it was the end of the world so I couldnt help but teach it to Ricoris-san .

Ara so Caam-kun can also cook? Im relieved that her childhood friends an able kid

She said that with a big smile .

You can go ahead and increase the amount of seasoning and spices as needed

While I was teaching her the basics, Ichii-sans bloodlust kept on piercing through my back . Once he tasted the karaage though, his bloodlust went away .

Delicious meals will save the world! Thank you me in my previous life who learned how to cook for himself!

On a later date,

That girl wont learn anything other than meat dishes . Dont you have any other good dishes?

was what Ricoris-san consulted with me but I apologetically shook my head . Teaching Suzuran, who has an extreme aversion of any other kinds of food, meals shes not interested in cooking is an impossible task you know .

While also taking a break, Wurst started a conversation with me .

Suzuran really likes meat, doesnt she? I mean, even I eat vegetable from time to time, you know? She cant remember anything other than meat dishes so oba-san consulted with me but I told her it was impossible I see As expected . When you get married, except for meat dishes, youll have to choice but to make your own meals Ha? Why did it suddenly go into a conversation about our marriage? I mean, isnt it practically already decided, you guys? Well, I guess? Whats with that questioning tone? She likes you that much and you dont dislike her right? Then isnt it already settled? Well Still, its nice that you came out of that alive, huh? That oji-san is really scary . How did you manage to persuade him? Rather than persuading, it was more of an explanation . While he was letting off his bloodlust, I was telling him what exactly happened . I told him that she reserved a room at the lovers inn and while we were walking on the main streets, she forcibly dragged me along and assaulted me . Well, oba-san was just smiling but oji-san apologized . If I also told him something was about to break I see, its good that you were able to come out of that alive as well . While he was letting of bloodlust, I was sure youd get killed during your explanation Seriously, Im glad I survived that

While we were having a trivial conversation between men, the girls were doing the same but you could hear *kya kya* sounds from them .

If Im unlucky, theres a chance that Ill get asked out tomorrow . At least, I want to be the one to take initiative this time . I wont run away so Id like it if youd at least be gentle . Well, Ill get to experience it again so Id like to think that I wont be asking for too much but at least spare me from that rodeo without ropes please . And also, please remember to let me move to an extent . I may collapse from that but I dont want that collapsing as well, you know .

After that, our short break ended and we returned to processing the pig we butched .

ErThanks to everyone, the harvest this year only took two days to finish . Because of that, it might be a good idea to try increasing the number of the fields a bit . I dont like long speeches in these kind of events so Ill end it here . Well then, let us start the harvest festival . Kanpai Kanpai!!

After the village chief said his speech, various loud voices were raised all over .

I became resilient against sake because of poison resistance so Im not going to get drunk, am I~

I made sure no one heard me complain as I was slowly drinking my sake . The three idiots were having nice conversation while they were enjoying their sake . In a way, the joy of drinking sake is in getting drunk .

By the way, even if I didnt supply ice, there were already others who could . Although theyre already able to adjust the output so that it wont turn into an offensive magic, I heard that they struggled to do that at first . Once again, they were able to realize the improvements in their lives using magic compared to before .

The three idiots must have remembered how they vomited last time since they started slowing down their drinking pace a bit . However, their faces were already red, they already have glazed eyes and their laughter has also died out so its still easy to understand what this change is .

After a while, the usual girls group came and brought up large platters filled with drinking snacks . They sat together at the same table and were having fun talking about all their memories in the town . Suzurans platter had a ratio of 5 karaages to 5 other meat dishes . As usual, this girls staying true to her own desires .

Getting each other drunk in that nice atmosphere, they are starting to have an indecent conversation disregarding the people from the opposite sex . Or did they start doing that precisely because members of the opposite sex are here? Im not sure .

Influenced by her drunkenness, Mir asked,

What happened in town? We were really being considerate of you guys so you could at lease tell us that much I thought I was pretty much set up though Even though you were getting into a nice mood with Suzuran, you still didnt cross the line so we were all troubled . You should be thanking us

Kuchinashi who was next to her was silently nodding while drinking her sake .

Well, Im somewhat thankful for that but theres a need to consider the mood, time and place right? And because of that, a year later has passed and nothing has happened yet . On the contrary, its Suzuran whos becoming pitiable, you know

Kuchinashi quietly nodded with that as well . Suzuran continued to vigorously eat meat . Were talking about you, you know .

Well, we already crossed that line so something has already changed in our relationshipis what I feel but not much has changed that in our daily lives . I mean, look at her . I was the one who taught her the recipe of that karaage shes been eating for a while now, right?

Mir looked at Suzuran who was stuffing her cheeks with karaage .

Y-yeah . Well, we havent really seen the two of you flirting Thats right As expected Un un Thats right, isnt it

Everyone voiced out their agreement .

Suddenly, Suzuran stood up, grabbed Wursts collar and forced him to stand up . She then sat at the recently vacated space and leaned her body next to me . Ah so she was actually listening to our conversation .

She swallowed what was in her mouth and said,

Since it seems like everyone is expecting something from us . No good?

She tilted her head while asking me that . Doing that kind of gesture is unfair .

I dont really dislike it though

When I said that, the others who were watching us were grinning .

What about you guys? Werent Schinken and Mir eating sweets while walking around town by themselves? I dont really dislike Schinken, you know

Her voice trailed off before she finished what she was saying .

I dont dislike her as well

They kept glancing at each other . Reading the mood, Wurst left his seat and Speck pulled Mir and made her sit next to Schinken . Both of them stayed silent but their faces reddened while they were slowly sipping on their drinks . These guys are easy to understand .

I didnt really bother teasing them and just continued to drink . Kuchinashi, who looked like she prepared herself for something, sat next to Wurst . He looked surprised at first but then became embarrassed as he started drinking his sake .

IyaThis villages men sure are weak when it comes to womens advances

With Suzuran staying by my side and heartily eating meat, I looked at Speck who wanted me to agree with him and noticed Tryapka-san who was grinning beside him .

Since when have you been there! uHIYAA!

When I shouted, Speck finally noticed her and screamed but it was already too late . She grabbed him before he was able to run away . He tried shaking her off but that just strengthened her hold on him . As expected of a carnivore . 2

I dont think that its impossible to tear her off if he used actually used force but Speck doesnt seem to be able to do it . It seems like hes gentle towards girls .

Like a king of an animal kingdom from somewhere, she kept on patting his head while saying,

Hes cute, right

Speck didnt look like he hated Tryapka-sans actions as much as he would have us believe since hes still letting her do it . You really dont dislike that, dont you? I cant do anything but pray that she doesnt take him home with her .

Everyone was getting into a pleasant atmosphere and they were drinking until they couldnt anymore . It was starting to get dark but a corner of the villages square was enveloped in a pink aura . When the adults who were looking at us were grinning but had a look of slight concern .

Its a bit early but lets call it a night

When we entered that kind of mood, the pairs decided whose house they would going to go home to and went on their ways . In the end, I wasnt able to protect Speck Im so powerless

With that said, it seems like Suzuran will be coming over to my house .

First time in Caams room

Well of course . Im the one who always has to go to your place to wake you up . Putting it nicely, you can say my rooms well-organized . however, you could also say that I have too much stuff .

I was planning to clean it but there are training kokeshis and tools to make glass beads and knit mats on top of my desk and all sorts of materials, weapons and my rucksack are scattered in the corner of my room .

Want to drink tea? Un Just sit wherever . Well, your only choices are the bed or the chair by my desk though Suzuran was slightly troubled but decided to sit on the chair . I guess Im sitting on the bed . I probably wont get pushed down if I have hot tea in my hands .

The placed dried chamomile leaves into the cups I brought and filled it with steaming hot water .

Add as much sugar as you like Sugar in tea? You see, it would taste bad if just drink it as is Nice smell . Its calming

After saying that, she started filling her cup with sugar . Im sure that itll taste good if you sweeten it but arent you putting a bit too much?

Hey, Suzuran . I dont dislike doing the deed itself but Id like it if you consider the mood a bit more from now on, for my sake . And Ill also really appreciate it if you do it gently Sorry Well, its not really something to receive an apology for but please calm down a bit from now on . Id be really happy if you could just keep that in mind I understand . And dont have to tell me twice because it will make me sad . Was also lectured by kaa-san . Will hate it if not gentle

She hanged her head a bit . It seems like she was aware of her actions .

Well, I dont hate you so you can be at ease

I stood up and pat her head as I said that . If youre conscious about running wild the other day then you should have not shown that kind of behavior . She was glancing at me a bit and looked like she was expecting something . So this time, Ill be the one to start it, huh

Thinking that, I stood up and came closer to Suzuran . I kissed her and guided her towards the bed .

About an hour before the date changed, both of us started to calm down .

Should go home soon Aa, Ill see you off . And also, Ill be happy if you would always be that gentle like earlier

After I said that, my stomach received a punch . It seems like she was really embarrassed about that . While desperately trying not to vomit, I lied down in bed in agony . After waiting for 30 seconds, I escorted her home . The adults are still not done drinking it seems . Id appreciate it if you guys look after your children more!

It would be nice if it goes well for those guys too No one was listening but I wanted to try and say that so I did .

Skill Damage Resistance: 2acquired

Ah, so I was able to acquire that, as expected . That one really hurt, you know?

Authors note: At the last scene, Suzuran hesitated where to sit since she might have been tempted dive into the bed and having a fill of our MCs pillows scent . So to be safe, she sat on the chair . And she also received relatively longer lines this time .

TL: I also wrote this on the nocturn ver . of ch 18 but if it wasnt obvious enough, the other girl in the LN illustrations isnt Mir . Shes a

Succubus

that our MC will meet probably before the end of this arc .

Footnotes: 1 . Like 2 . Speck might be the one who can relate to our MC the most
