Chapter 30
Happy Monday!
oniichan, where are you? Hurry and come back. Please! I wont say anymore selfish things, and I will also help out around the house!!
really, that person is good, all the men around me leftcough 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 mothers 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 hadnt gone back in a month.
Ive 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 mightve been doing that at night.
Oi! Dont 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 pigs.
The level was fifty-two, huh.
I saw Amelia standing up, and I simply threw my hidden weapon.
Akira, we got meat.
That guy doesnt taste good.
I see. Any meat that cant be eaten should disappear.
Amelia crushed the monsters 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?
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.
Im off.
How simple.
Thanks for the meal.
whats that?
Aah, so there is no cultural practice of giving thanks for ones 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 Japan while I ate.
Unexpectedly, she was really into it.
Of course, she was eating the entire time though.
There are countless gods as well?
More or less, we were taught that gods 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 classmates broken?
Akira, tell me about, Akiras family.
Maa, Im fine with it. In my family, I have a sickly kaasan and a younger sister. Kaasans name is Yukari. My younger sisters 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 chores, including the cooking.
Are they eating properly.
It wouldnt 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. Shes prettier than someone like me, and can do anything, the perfect younger sister.
Hee
The situation had become strange.
I stared at Amelias red eyes.
The bright red that was shining when in front of meat, had darkened now.
Because, I cant 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 theyre stronger than minewhy meat?
I feel like I can finally see her.
In short, the older sister couldnt 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 wasnt 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.
Its because if somethings perfect, you wont be able to go any further than that. Humans, they can improve because they have flaws, and its interesting as well. Even if youre an elf, it should be the same, right? thats why, if that younger sister of yours is someone whos 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 wasnt interesting at all.
thats true. Then, Akira wont be able to meet my younger sister.
Im the one whos refusing to. aside from that, if youre done eating, were going to start exploring the dungeon.
Things like comforting others were outside my area of expertise and on top of that, Im not very good at it.
I patted Amelias 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 , but and I have absolutely no idea why that is there, so if you know, please enlighten me.
Like I said, I really couldnt hear the words of gratitude that she softly said.
Its fine even if she didnt say it.
