Chapter 6

How embarrassing . ( > < )

Im sorry to those who saw that yesterday . I was just starting to translate this chapter yesterday (yes, I was just started yesterday . I was busy) and I was already making a draft because I thought I could finish this quickly (I couldnt) . I didnt realize I pressed publish until an hour later . Im sorry for those who saw/were let down by my mistake .

Anyway, heres the actual chapter . Enjoy~

P . S . Im really sick as some of you may have read a yesterday so Ill be taking a break (from everything) for a few days and just focus on recovering first . But that nothing new though because I always take breaks ( )

P . P . S . Please take note that my translations might not be 100% accurate . Im going to put this in all of the chapters from now on so that I can stop putting [TN: probably wrong] or other stuff like that on paragraphs and sentences Im not sure about . There were actually a lot by the time I was finished with this chapter .

Chapter 06

The village has been busy ever since yesterday . Its because the harvest festival will be held tomorrow . Its true that the harvest is already finished but because of my magic, which made the harvest finish earlier, it seems that most of the preparations were not made because they were procrastinating . Those preparations were mainly stocking up on sake and processing of the livestock .

Its the harvest festival so dont go to the forest just for today, okay That is what I was told before I went to school so I just replied obediently .

The three idiots were enthusiastically telling me that they were praised when they showed their parents their magic after we went home yesterday . No child would not be happy when they are praised by their parents . I was also really happy when I was praised for having good marks on my tests when I was in elementary school . Un un, I really understand that feeling . You can say that Im a 30 year old human inside so I have a varied persuasiveness . I should keep that in mind .

Good for you! You wont need to draw water from the well after this![TN: This might sound sarcastic, but its not . ] They were surprised when I said that . Its because things like drawing water from the well are the childrens job . It was done with my mothers magic at home but recently, I been able to help her out with that .

You definitely think of things differently! Thats really amazing!

Oh, have you guys practiced your magic? Didnt I have a hard time teaching you? So who did you learn it from?

Aa! It was Caam . We were surprised at how good he was in teaching . Schinken and Speck were only able to use water magic yesterday . When Wurst said that, Miiru was surprised and looked at me . I dont know what she was thinking but she was fidgeting a little while said, I-I wonder if you could also teach me I couldnt hear what she was saying in the end . She really has too much pride . Shes a little bit of a tsundere so it cant be helped .

Suzuran was looking at me with an intimidating look . Then she suddenly stood up and said Me too while approaching me . I said, Ah Then it is okay if I meet you two at the schools water well after school? . Miiru replied with I understand and Suzuran just nodded .

Its the harvest festival today so I wont be able to teach you for long . Is that fine? I told them our meeting place but Suzuran seems to be in a bit of a bad mood . I wonder what happened . Did I do something wrong? I kept on thinking about that after school .

Why are there a lot of people Im not teaching a trick for learning magic you know? I see guys who are not good with magic and there are those who want to learn water magic when I looked at them . Isnt half of the class here? Fine . The only difference is that instead of 1 person, Ill be teaching 10 . I draw up water from the well and scooped up water in order to wash my face similar to what we did the other day .

You should imagine gathering water in your hands like this . Wurst was bad at this but he was able to do it himself . The trick is in the way you imagine . Im only going to teach you this because it is the harvest festival today . You should keep on trying to imagine scooping up water from a bucket like what I just did on your free time until it becomes easy for you to imagine water coming out from your hands . [TN: Wait, but you just said you werent going to teach them any tricks Haah]

It became noisy around the well . There were some who did it on the first try and there were some who took a few tries at first . There were also various people who couldnt do it until I had to go home so I told them, For those who couldnt do it, remember what I told you today . If you do, you could be able to do it so dont give up I said that like some tennis player somewhere but I didnt enthusiastically say it so Im safe . [TN: Im not sure which tennis player though I dont want to research it]

But I was surprised that Miiru was able to do it on the first try . Vampires have this image of being weak with water but, are dhampir different? Both Suzuran and Miiru were able to do it . Being good with fire and also being able to quickly learn waterMiiru, Suzuran, what frightful children! [TN: ]

I went to eat the food prepared at the square . From the adults who were preparing since this morning, there are already some who already have a bit of alcohol in them . The person himself says I was only practicing my kampai, you know, so he probably loves drinking this much . There is a campfire in the center of the village square with logs stacked like that time* . There are wine casks lined around the tables and chairs . There are also tables for food and fruits . [*TN: Im not sure if hes talking about a personal experience or something but it looks like this]

Well, the banquet for the harvest festival is also like this for other towns and villages . By the way, the child-like adults just do their chores . Its because even if they look like adults, they are really inexperienced . Hmm, I understand .

The slaughtering of the pig was done in different parts so I didnt have time to see it . I guess I should have seen that so I can learn something . I have a bit of guro resistance I got from games and war movies with the gore representation Im fine with looking but I definitely not good with the smell . I would probably be fine with the smell of blood but, the washing of the stomach and intestines makes me throw up a bit in my mouth . uhh and that scream . I just think it would be better if they killed it first with a gas like carbon dioxide or something . Instead, they just tie it with a rope and swing down the hatchet . Could you please drop it just once? For my sake!

Do you want to try it next year?, I was asked by the Wildcat and Werewolf ossan who I usually see . So I just said, I still have to go to school for 2 years so I wont be able to come before noon as an excuse to escape .

After this and that happened, evening came and the speech has started . Where can you normally find the village chief? Caam, because of your quick wittedness, this years harvest ended quickly . But because of circumstances, the harvest festival was held on the usual time . Because I also dont like long speeches on these occasions, Ill end it here! Kampai!

Kampai!

Lively cheers filled the place but, because Im still a child, Im just drinking water with a sliced lemon in it . Its lukewarm and unsavory Ah I want ice And with that brief comment, because I did not have anything to lose, I tried to imagine it .

Image: Square Ice3cm3Hard and transparentInside the cup Im holding in my handExecute[TN: I could probably have translated it better but DAMN IT AUTHOR, this magic system of yours is very dull]

When I tried to transmit my magic power into an image of a square ice from an ice maker, it came out .

SkillOffensive AttributeWater2aquired .

Ah, its been a long time since I heard that announcement . It didnt go up when I was thoroughly using and continuously firing those blades of wind during harvest . I still dont know what triggers it to go up .

Oi! Looks like Hails() son has a magic to make ice! Crap! I was seen! [TN: This was what a certain MC with OP waifus was talking about . ] After he said that, a crowd gathered . And since they were drunk, it started to turn into a mob . Oi Caam, giveusice We want to drink cold beer Fruits are tasty when they are cold Cant you make more? [TN: Im not sure how to change them, or at least the 1st and 2nd one into drunk speech] Theyre influenced by sake So troublesome

Okay, I understand . I was just trying it out a while ago so please dont get your hopes up! I put my magic power into an image of a large ice in a bucket . I made 50 cubic centimeter ice . Im not sure if I can make any more than this .

It is the first time I used this magic to make ice so please do not expect any more than this! Please just break some off so you can use it later . I still made two more of those after I said that .

After that, I was called out by the dad group . My son is amazing right! A magic to produce ice! Not ice lance or ice needle but ice that can only be made in winter! Its not an attack! Your son always surprises us! Magic is not only used for attacking! These adults are already wasted . Because they are drunk, theyve been repeating the same topic for how many times already . This is seriously terrible . The conversation earlier has already repeated for about three times .

Oi, come over here . Lets drink together! Thats right, thats right! Drink! Drink! Father and Ichii-san kept on inviting me .

Im still a child so I kept on gently refusing them but, We were already drinking when we were that tall! Right? Ou!

Thats what they said . They were not about their age but about their height . Well, I could drink in my previous life so, oh well .

Well, okay but just a little . Its my first time drinking sake . Since I came here anyway, so I might as well do it .

gulp gulp gulp gulp, Aahh Its sour! Im not sure if its just the brewing technique that is low or if its the whole manufacturing technique but its sour . Well, wouldnt it be better if we drink while were talking about german beer or how our houses beer has a sour taste . [TN: probably wrong] But, within its sourness, theres this fruity smell I dont know if its because of a different wheat or the natural fermentation but its not like I cant drink it!

Your son is a good drinker, isnt he! Hes drinking like hes used to it What have you been drinking until now! Blood? Giyahahah!

Everybody here is a drunkard so I should drink in moderation .

And while we were drinking together, Suzuran approached me with a piece of meat and an empty plate . The meat was in her mouth . She was chewing it then immediately swallowed afterwards . I will also drink

Oi, your daughter wants to drink . Is that okay? Do you understand? Just keep it a secret from your mom! Its okay you guys

I have a problem with how he said that loudly because Ricoris-san is just over there drinking with my mother and the others . I dont know whether or not she noticed but, shes not looking over here so its alright for now .

gulpgulpgulp, I can hear the sound of her drinking . You are drinking it like its water . Are you okay, Suzuran-chan? Im still okay

Well, Ill just stop it if it gets dangerous . She is usually wearing something that resembles a samue or a Jinbei-like clothing when it is hot but right now, shes wearing something that looks like a yukata . It has bright colors which is different from her usual indigo color . And its cute how shes just sipping little by little from the cup like its water .

Shes been drinking for a while . Suzurans facial expression might have not changed but her face is red .

Suzuran-chan, I think its better if you stop drinking soon . Your face is already red and your head is slightly swaying from left to right Its not chan Hm? What is she displeased with that shes getting sulky . Suzuran-san? SuzuranEh? Su-zu-ra-n Geez, Su-Suzuran, you better stop drinking sake, okay? Its better if you go home and lie down

The adults were just grinning while looking at our direction without care . Look at that! My son is losing to the mouth of a drunk girl That guy is definitely the type that gets dominated . Anyone would understand when my daughter who is drunk on sake says that . Well, if its my daughter, then she can do it!he was saying that while striking my fathers shoulders . You drunkard! Making unnecessary comments are fine but stop your daughters recklessness!

Hm Shes just staring into space, is that bad? But the intimidating air earlier is now gone . While I was thinking that its probably fine, my collar was suddenly grabbed .

Wait! Suzuran? Get o while I was saying that, she strongly pulled me towards herself and stole my lips .

The two adults in front of us who were grinning while they were drinking did a spit take with their sake . When they noticed that something was happening, the other adults stopped drinking and looked at us . The mood in the plaza became quiet for a moment . In panic, I tried to pull myself off but even with my strength, I couldnt . What do I do in this situation?

After 5 more seconds, all of the adults started whistling and shouting Woooh!! There is even a guy saying kiss, kiss

What do you do now, me! I would be killed by Ichii-san!!

mn haa Suzuran let out an erotic sigh as she was smiling while separating from my lips . [TN: she was actually doing something like this, (==) . I just didnt know how to phase it properly] I pretended to be composed . S-Suzurans really strong, isnt she? Thats good and all but, your hands, can you let go of me?

Even when I said that, she didnt loosen her grip on my collar . This time, I tried to slowly pull myself off . At this rate, its dangerous since she might kiss me again . Why are there people affected on my left side!? The people who were noisy earlier increased! My classmates are also here!? This is bad! Everyone has different surprised faces and their voices were getting louder as they were approaching . This is impossible . Avoiding it is already impossible . My mother and her companions are grinning . Ill leave Ichii-san to Ricoris-san . I dont want to die yet .

Ill surrender my self to fate . Im concerned about surrendering the fate of everyone else around me .

Ooh

I feel like theres a sound of a massive iron hand gun shooting at my head .

Wait, what! Its longer than before! Tongue! Dont put your tongue in me!

A grand applause somehow resounded when I separated from Suzurans lips . At that time, the hands that were holding on to my collar started to weaken . She seems to be quite satisfied .

I kept on looking at Suzuran while sitting on the floor . She seemed rather glossy .

My first kiss after I reincarnated smelled an tasted like beer .

And as if nothing happened, Suzuran drank the sake left on my cup . She still drank from that cup even though I already used it .

Ichii-san is somewhat absent-minded . Ricoris-san is next to him grinning while drinking sake . My father probably felt like something bad will happen so he seized Ichii-san and prepared himself . He ran out of sake a while ago so he was only drinking water . Father, thank you for actually worrying about me . I got teary-eyed from my fathers greatness .

While I was sitting on the floor, Ricoris-san suggestively said, Could you take our girl home? . It wont be like those situations where you get drunk on sake and you wont remember that you put your hands on a woman . Even if I ever get drunk, Im sure I would not do something like that .

Eh? Ah, yes I just answered that when I came to my senses .

When I decided that I would just take her home, Suzuran suddenly approached me and said, piggyback so I just obediently carried her on my back . Theys raising a voice of joy again . As I was thinking, Are you guys supporters watching soccer at a bar?, I started walking towards Suzurans house .

I want to say that there are soft and pleasant things touching my back but unfortunately, thats not the case . You can clearly see it when you look at her yukata-like clothings overall appearance . She kept on giggling while she was on my back but I just pretended not to hear and just kept on walking .

I placed Suzuran on her bed when we reached their house . She caught my arm and dragged my along with her . Its clear what would happen on this situation .

I gently flicked her forehead . I also like Suzuran but you are considerably drunk so you dont know what you are doing . Or could it be that you are just acting drunk? Im happy that you feel that way about me though . If there would be a next time, I would be really happy if you decide to invite me again when both of us arent drunk .

I dont know if she understood that I was serious or if she just gave up but she released my arm . I told her, Thanks for understanding, and this time, I was the one who kissed her . Of course, there was no tongue .

Im sorry for being a coward .

Well then, see you tomorrow . It would be nice if we could act like usual un I left the room after I heard her reply .

I didnt say, dont puke on your sleep because it would ruin the mood . I would have told her that if she drank her self unconscious .

I immediately returned to the venue . When Ricoris-san saw me, she had this disappointed look . Meanwhile, Ichii-san was saying, My daughter! Did you take my daughter!? He was crying while drinking sake and he had this really troubled look . My parents had this surprised look on their faces . They had a look that says they were expecting me to take at least 1~2 hours to come back . My male classmates who were scowling at me had this relieved look while the girls who were looking at me with disgust had this look that was saying we were not expecting him to be a gentleman . What do you really want me to do?

I got tired with so many things happening today . I was thinking that I wanted to drink more so I was pouring sake in a cup to drink then I suddenly remembered . Suzuran drank from this cup, didnt she?, but since receiving an indirect kiss right now would not matter anyway, I gulped the sake in one go and then went home to sleep .

My parents didnt come home that day . Because its a festival today, my parents purposely came home really late . Isnt there a custom here where the parents attend to their children?

School would be rough tomorrow
