『…oniichan, where are you? Hurry and come back . Please! I won’t say anymore selfish things, and I will also help out around the house!!』

『…really, that person is good, all the men around me left…cough cough!』

My younger sister and mother were looking for me in worry .

It had also been a very long time since I saw their faces .

Had my mother’s face become more and more haggard again?

…aah, I want to go back .

I want to go back .

If it was for the sake of going on back, I will do whatever it takes .

「…a dream, huh . It was quite the realistic dream . 」

「…ah! Akira, you woke up? Food, not ready?」

At the soft voice that came from right next to me, I reflexively lowered my eyes .

When she got up, Amelia held her stomach and was looking over here resentfully .

「Can you be serious?」

「Serial? Sounds delicious . 」

I was an idiot for wanting her to be serious .

I took out the bread that Commander Saran had prepared for me, and the meat that was wrapped in cloth that I had set aside as rations .

「…Akira, you were restless . Did you see a bad dream?」

「No, rather, it was a happy dream . 」

I recalled the figures of my mother and younger sister, and shook my head .

I hadn’t gone back in a month .

I’ve also become homesick .

「I see . Did you have a dream about your family that was left behind in the other world?」

「Aah . 」

I toasted the bread a bit, and roasted the meat .

Amelia had drool coming out from the corner of her mouth .

…the meat was still raw though .

Did, I tell her that I came from another world?

「If I used the Eye of the World, I would know everything . Akira might’ve been doing that at night… . 」

「Oi! Don’t use the Eye for stupid things!」

「Stupid? It is necessary in order to shorten the distance with Akira . 」

I slapped away the hand that was reaching out to the bread, and turned over the meat .

Attracted by the smell of the meat, monsters appeared .

It was a thing that walked on two legs with a face that looked like a pig’s .

The level was fifty-two, huh .

I saw Amelia standing up, and I simply threw my hidden weapon .

「…Akira, we got meat . 」

「That guy doesn’t taste good . 」

「I see . Any meat that can’t be eaten should disappear . 」

Amelia crushed the monster’s body using gravitational magic .

It was a waste of magic .

If I had almost infinite magic power, would that be I would do whenever I wanted?

If I had almost infinite magic power, would that be I would do whenever I wanted?

She properly avoided hitting my hidden weapon, she more or less thought about it before doing it .

However, why was there gore so early in the morning .

Maa, I was already used to it, but as one would expect, the smell was intense .

「…the person who can throw that fellow far away, will get a larger piece of meat . 」

「I’m off . 」

How simple .

「Thanks for the meal . 」

「…what’s that?」

「Aah, so there is no cultural practice of giving thanks for one’s food in this world . 」

The elves did not strive to gain knowledge .

This might also be the reason why this guy stayed with me .

I told her about j.a.pan while I ate .

Unexpectedly, she was really into it .

Of course, she was eating the entire time though .

「There are countless G.o.ds as well?」

「More or less, we were taught that G.o.ds dwell in all things . 」

Now that I think about it, I talked to Commander Saran about this as well .

Even though it was something from just a few weeks ago, it was strangely nostalgic .

Was the hero doing his job properly .

Were the curses on my cla.s.smates broken?

「…Akira, tell me about, Akira’s family . 」

「…Akira, tell me about, Akira’s family . 」

「Maa, I’m fine with it . In my family, I have a sickly kaasan and a younger sister . Kaasan’s name is Yukari . My younger sister’s name is Yui . 」

「What about your father?」

…father .

When I, thought back to the wide back that I once saw when I was young, I gritted my teeth .

「He disappeared when I was six years old . He ran away without holding us who were children and my sickly kaasan . 」

「…I see . 」

Since then, kaasan worked from home, and I secretly working a part-time job while going to school, so we were somehow able to maintain the family finances .

Naturally, I wanted to join a club, but I put up with it and worked my part-time job .

I did all of the household ch.o.r.es, including the cooking .

Are they eating properly .

It wouldn’t be funny if my family died from, food poisoning or malnutrition before I got back .

「…I have a younger sister too . 」

「Hee, how unexpected . So you were the older sister . 」

「Un . She’s prettier than someone like me, and can do anything, the perfect younger sister . 」

「Hee…」

The situation had become strange .

I stared at Amelia’s red eyes .

The bright red that was s.h.i.+ning when in front of meat, had darkened now .

「Because, I can’t do anything . Housework, anything . After seeing it once, my younger sister can do anything . 」

「That younger sister, does she like meat?」

「No . She can eat anything, her skills too, she has more than me and they’re stronger than mine…why meat?」

I feel like I can finally see her .

「No . She can eat anything, her skills too, she has more than me and they’re stronger than mine…why meat?」

I feel like I can finally see her .

In short, the older sister couldn’t do anything and the younger sister excelled in everything, so did that mean that only the superior younger sister was pampered by the parents .

The older sister was always being compared to the younger sister, which meant that this fellow has come to have a servile personality .

There wasn’t anything like that with my younger sister and I .

Maa, my family was unique, in a different sense, so my mother would never allow that to happen,

「Try to calm down . In any case, I hate the word ‘perfect’ . 」

Amelia raised her head that had been hanging down .

「It’s because if something’s perfect, you won’t be able to go any further than that . Humans, they can improve because they have flaws, and it’s interesting as well . Even if you’re an elf, it should be the same, right? …that’s why, if that younger sister of yours is someone who’s perfect, then I hate her . 」

I hated the hero as well, for the very same reason .

Even though they had many flaws, they were concealing it to be perfect .

So, the hero that I knew was resting his laurels on his perfectness .

From the point of view of an ordinary person, it wasn’t interesting at all .

「…that’s true . Then, Akira won’t be able to meet my younger sister . 」

「I’m the one who’s refusing to . …aside from that, if you’re done eating, we’re going to start exploring the dungeon . 」

Things like comforting others were outside my area of expertise and on top of that, I’m not very good at it .

I patted Amelia’s head a little and then stood up .

I needed to do some maintenance on ‘Yatonokami’ .

「…thank you . 」

TN: so the ‘thank you’ here is not just ありがと , but なんでありがと and I have absolutely no idea why that なんで is there, so if you know, please enlighten me .

Like I said, I really couldn’t hear the words of grat.i.tude that she softly said .

It’s fine even if she didn’t say it .
