Saving 80,000 Gold in an Another World for Retirement

And a few years later .

No, no, it has only been three days since then!

As a result of my difficult pantomime, they could somehow understand my what I want . or, I think .

First, Ill work here so let me stay for a while . Second, I want to go to a town later so please share some water and food when that time comes . Third, tell me the way to the town .

It took a very long time to convey only this . I gave up memorizing their language . Ill hardly remember it in a few days, there should be a phone if I go to a town so I can call Japan using an international phone or from an embassy, if I can find someone who understands Japanese or at worse English, its the end of that story . There wouldnt be any chances to use this countrys language after returning home . No, I will say my thanks, but its fine if I get someone to translate it .

After doing various things with them I understood a few things . First of all, as I thought I seem to be thought as a child or rather not in that sense that Im a minor but that Im about ten to twelve years old . Its all right, its convenient so Ill let that go! Well, Colette-chan is eight years old . shouldnt I let being twelve pass?

And maybe its a custom around here, but its normal for orphans and abandoned children to be taken in by someone, raised, and become a child of that house . It is not unusual for them to marry a child from the house after becoming an adult be blessed with becoming true parent and child by everyone . Of course, it seems a large majority will usually marry other households and repay their guardians like one would parents . Well, in the first place its a small village so all villagers seem to be like family .

So, what does that mean? It seems that If an orphan or an unidentified person is picked up, without sending them to a government office you can take care of them as is . They were abandoned anyway so dont bother looking for such parents . Oh, so thats why parents here looked so calm when they took care of me . Well, Ill be leaving soon .

So why did you bother to explain that for half a day, Colette-chan? She took a lot of time and effort to scrape the ground and draw a lot of things which seemed to be a family tree with a piece of wood and then points to it . What do you have to explain right now? The adopted daughter marry their biological son in the house over there, and the house over there has an adopted son and a biological son taking care of their parents . No, why are you staring at me!

I was disturbed by Colette-chans pressure, but I spent a few days relaxing while helping with housework . Cooking using the stove without any fermented seasonings gave me a huge handicap but Id been helping my mom cook since elementary school and by middle school, it was mostly up to me so I have a life full of experience and was able to make something appropriate . The result was very popular, the wife Elnel-san groaned, Gununu .

In contrast, chopping firewood was terrible . No, is chopping firewood housework? Isnt that part the fathers work?

Oh, Eline-san and Colette-chan is in charge of the housework and part of that is the preparation of firewood, is that so?

The ax is heavy . The hatchet is difficult to use . It misses when I swing down . After the ax bites into the firewood, the ax attach to the firewood is too heavy to raise to raise and slam back down . When doing that the skin of my palms peels off, muscles, shortness of breath, waist . . Immediately, I got tagged out . Why does it breaks after a few plonks, Colette-chan .

The next day, I went to look for wild vegetables with Colette-chan . Going into the forest carrying a basket on my back . Oh, only me is carrying it . Because there is no way well find two baskets worth, I will carry it to make it easy for the main force Collett-chan to move . Yep, that is very logical .

Huh, Is this the forest I was wandering in? I see, so Colette-chan found me here? Then, Ill try my best in the search to apologize for messing up the gathering that day! Colette-chan showed me a sample of the types of vegetables were looking for so its ok!

Although I was enthusiastic, it seems there is a knack to look for where the wild vegetables grow, I can only found it when I look in a place instructed by Collette but not at all if I look for it myself . . Oh well, Im not doing this to learn, if I can help Colette-chan .

When the wild vegetables in the basket filled about one-third, Colette-chan suddenly stopped . She has a bad complexion when I turn to look . She told me to take off the basket with a gesture . Despite thinking it was strange I took off the basket as instructed and Colette-chan slowly came back and whispered to me .

(tn note: I can translate mou to jeez but I dont for the kawaii, also in case you forgot she thinks shes in a third world country so gathering is a business)

Well, life is important more than a few wild vegetables . Should we slowly and quietly run away, wait, the wind, earlier it was blowing . We had the bad luck of facing the wind, wait, isnt this bad! I dont think even if the incredible super girl Colette-chan would notice a beast before it notices her . Arent we already founded? Then I can only hope that the other side is full and not going to hunt right now, following another prey, maybe a vegetarian No, slim chance . Then why dont they attack already? Think, think, roar my trivia computer!

Yes, I got it . Three possibilities .

One, slowly surrounds to completely detain . Is that necessary when the opponents a childs with slow feet?

Two, to enjoy mocking at us, playing around . Then wouldnt they show up enjoy scaring us .

Three, a practice stage to teach children how to hunt . There is no worry of escape because of their slow feet, no worry that their children will get unexpectedly injured by a counterattack, the ideal prey . Thats so, its ideal isnt it, a human girl . It is a secret that a girl that cant be call a child is mixed in .

Although it is only an guess, the possibility that a beast is approaching is high . How to escape safely .

Buy some time? How long will it take for someone to look for two children who hasnt come back by night? Searching the woods on a dark night? Parents aside, the villagers probably wouldnt take on such danger . Besides they wouldnt make it in time .

When I looked back, I saw a glimpse of something moving through the gaps in the trees . Multiple . One wolf-like thing and a few which are considerably smaller . As expected? Can that type climb a tree? It seems unlikely to climb If there are no branches in low positions .

They will come soon . A good tree, a good tree, cant be helped that one!

Colette!

There doesnt seem to be any branches low enough that the beasts will be able to climb, so finding a tree that seems able to easily supported Colletts body weight she grab the Colletts hand and forcibly pulled on it . Putting her hands under armpit and lift her up and push her onto the tree .

Im sorry, Im not good at climbing trees . That tree seems like itll break with two people . Well, goodbye, take care of yourself!

Mitsuha, Mitsuha, Mitsuha ~ ~ ~!!!

Leaving the desperately screaming Colette, she ran away with all her might .

Haa, haa, haa, haa .

Mitsuhas mornings are fast because there are so many things she has to do .

Mitsuhas stamina also runs out fast too because there are many things she doesnt don/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

Just as she looks Mitsuha doesnt have much physical strength, the only time she exercises outside of PE in school was when her older brother invited her to airsoft games . Her reflexes arent bad, but she couldnt keep up . There was bad footing as well, the wolf didnt seem to be serious at all and had closed the distance in a blink of an eye .

(Only the parent . The cubs cant climb the tree . The parents out too but just in case before getting killed I should somehow get one of its legs)

I gave up already on myself . All thats left is somehow protecting Colette!

Mitsuha stepped on her feet out of fatigue and had a great fall, crashing into a nearby large tree .

The wolf exposing its fangs comes near and jumps

I dont want to die! Colette-chan, Father, mother

The wolfs fangs approach . On the verge of death, various things float and flow in Mitsuhas mind . Colettes smile, the figures of her parents, and the one who call the two years younger her cute and taught her various things, the gentle, dependable and a little, no very nerdy, beloved older brother . Maybe he liked quoting lines in novels? The happy smug look he get whenever he finds a good time for a quote is a bit annoying . I wonder what that brother would quote at a time like this .

Mitsuha cried out with a loud voice at the end .

Onicha~aaaaa~a~a~a~~~n~~n!!

And Mitsuhas disappears, the wolf rolling in pain after bashing into the big tree finally got back up and stands with a astonished look .

(tn: You know, Im surprised imoutosite didnt pick this up)
