Not Sure, Another World Reincarnation

Chapter 88: Here he comes

Today, I met Triela on the back alley. Together with Rico.

And as usual, we had a good chat over meals. Eh, study? Ah, I just finished teaching them a while ago. The lesson was simple calculations. As long as they could do addition and subtraction, they shouldve covered the basics.

Todays food is delicious too! Rico, please restrain yourself a little more Haa.

By the way, todays meal was grilled rice balls. Personally, this was my favorite. Be it freshly made or cooled, it still tasted delicious. Other than that was a vegetable soup I made from soup broth using horned rabbit bones. It was also pretty good. Hmm.

If she doesnt eat well, she wont grow up, you know? Yeah! Isnt that right, Triela? You guys Haa.

Well, Id been eating a lot, but I was this short. Eh? My current height? Maybe around 139 cm. I could see my height using [Analysis] skill. Eh? I told you that I was 140 cm a little over a year ago? Shut up, it was my wishful thinking! Leave me alone! Actually, I had grown by around 1 cm since that accident.

But then, 138cm should have been the average height of a ten years old girl in modern Japan, and I was also considered the tallest one in the orphanage But maybe that could also mean that the kids in the orphanage lacked nutrition?

By the way, what happened after you guys went home that day? Ohh, that. Its awesome. The three fools made a fuss when they saw the weapon. Then they were overjoyed after seeing the meat and became noisy. The people at the inn were very angry at them. After that, they found out that Triela and the others had eaten earlier, so they became even noisier. Even I wouldnt get angry over such a trivial matter! Rico, I already apologized to you, right? Youre persistent. Im not angry, though.

Rico was an understanding child, so she wouldnt fret over this kind of thing. Im sure they were just bantering right? Dont fight, okay?

And then, Ryuu showed us how idiotic he was by swinging his spear in the room. He almost hit Arle, so all of the girls beat the shit out of him. Its better if he died. Ren, killing him will be a bit too extreme, wont it And the next day, we go out and practise rabbit hunting. Since we have enough money, we decided to make sure everyone is used to the spear. I see. That sounds good. But after getting used to it to some extent, we plan to continue collecting herbs. Its not like we can always catch a lot of rabbits after all. I mean, we could only catch four rabbits even after hunting until evening on the first day. So we didnt want to rely on hunting too much. We caught a lot of rabbits when Ren was with us, but your wolves must have helped a lot, right? Yes, these kids are clever. After that, the three fools complained about asking the store to process the rabbits fur and meat. Just as Ren expected. They are idiots after all.

It was clear that they never thought ahead.

If the amount of meat they could secure increased, it would be possible to reduce the cost of food in winter by storing it in preparation for winter. Yet all they wanted to do was to eat as much as they could. Really stupid.

How come they didnt know that food prices would go up in the winter Especially Cain. He went on errands when we were in the orphanage.

But I explained the reason, Cain was convinced and explained it to the other two fools. Thats about it? Like what Ren instructed, I told him a kind adventurer gave us daggers and taught us how to make a spear. He was also convinced of that. Cain and Ryuu fought for the shield, but in the end, they calmed down after agreeing that the shield was reserved for Maricle. We are practising on how to use the weapons, so Cain is using the shield temporarily sorry. Its okay. Im giving up there.

Yeah, I already knew this would happen. But I didnt expect that Cain would only use it temporarily. I thought he would make it his own and use it as he liked. Since he could still understand once Triela explained things to him, it seemed like he still had some brain cells left.

Ahh, Ryuu and Boman also said some stupid things. They wanted to find goblins and fight them with the horn spears. To worsen the situation, Cain agreed with their idea even though he only had his previous broken and rusty sword Well, Maricle got angry and hit all of them, so they finally shut up now. They are really stupid.

They even made that kind Maricle angry

Since Ren gave us some advice, Maricle persistently explained and made sure they understood in the beginning, but they got too carried away after hunting the horned rabbits.

They should just die. I mean, those three idiots shouldve gone to find a goblin and got killed by their foolishness.

Leaving that aside, I think you can make more progress in hunting by using a bow, but its going to be quite difficult. Bow Ren, you could make one? Yes, well but the arrows are consumable items.

I think I can make it easily. A bow with high accuracy. I also have so many wood materials Ah, the one I made when I was in the forest is in my [Storage], right? I was too powerless at that time and I couldnt pull it, but now I probably can, right?

Youre right Hey, Rico. Arle told us that she wanted to use a bow, right? Yup~ But since arrows cost money, its hard to fulfil her wish. Im not going to help you forever, so its best to discuss this matter with everyone and find a way. Ren Ren

Oh, did the atmosphere become a little heavy? But I only said the truth.

Well, if there were only Triela and the girls, Im okay with making a party together. But I dont want to be together with the fools. Ah, but Maricle is very welcome. The girls lacked defense and endurance, so it would be helpful with Maricle joining them. After all, he has a good personality.

By the way, Triela and Rico implied that they were inviting me to their party several times. But I pretended not to notice.

Since we have finished our meals, lets practise magic from now on. Right. Yeah

I have to change the topic and do something with this atmosphere. Thats why, lets practise magic. That being said, its just [Magic Circulation] practise. But I think both of them have gotten used to it?

Hmm. I think you two have gotten familiar with magic. Rico has fairly stabilized as well. It should be okay for both of you to practise alone from now on. After getting a little more accustomed, you can teach Arle and others. Really!? Are you serious, Ren? However, make sure you wont overdo it or push yourself too hard. Okay! Triela, lets do it tonight right away Triela! Ricorice! So youre here! Ugh. Oh no

Ah he finally came?

Haa Cain, what are you doing here? I overheard Maricle and Arles conversation. You all met Ren without telling me, right? Why do we have to report everything to Cain? Do you think were stupid? Haa? Oi Ricorice, Ren and I are Cain and Ren are what? Nothing is going on between you two, right? Ren hates you a lot, so how about noticing that already? Ren hates me? What are you talking about?

Ohh, he really didnt understand. This guys head was still broken as usual. Why did things become like this, really

Well, I dont care about that. Ren is that hooded girl, right? Ren! Its me Cain! Why dont you come to see me if youre alive? Dont make me worry so much

He didnt listen to people as usual. Not to mention, he kept getting the wrong idea, how disgusting.

Why dont you reply? But its a relief. I missed you

Its amazing how he could enter his own world. Ugh. Anyway, he extended his hand to me, but what did he want to do? Could he please not touch me? Of course I avoided him and escaped to Trielas back.

Why are you avoiding me? Show me your face. No way. Please dont touch me, youre disgusting. Ha? What are you saying?

Would he mind not coming near me?

Dont approach me. You make me sick. Oi, what are you saying!? Just come here already!

Kyaa, Im afraid Help me (Monotone)

Gwargh!! What!?

Norn, who was curled up behind the bench, barked at Cain before he could reach me. She slowly got up and stepped in between me and Cain.

Wahh, thanks Norn! As expected from my goddess! Bark at that villain and chase him away! Bell was still curled up without any worry, though.

Grrr A wolf beast!? How can such a big monster appear here!? Ren, come here! Its dangerous!

Do you think Im stupid? For me, youre the dangerous one.

Haa Hey, Cain. That wolf is Rens follower. Shes not dangerous at all. Right now, shes just trying to protect her master. Rens follower Wait, what is it protecting Ren from? Theres nothing dangerous here is there? Well, theres someone who tried to grab Ren even though she clearly hates him. Theres nothing strange, isnt there? Haa? Hate Shes just shy, right? No, Ren clearly hates you. She doesnt even want to look at your face. Rather, why do you think Ren likes you after you bullied her so much? Eh? No, but when we were children Do you remember Bob, who is two years older than us? He was really violent with you. You hate him, right? Yeah, I remember. I definitely wont forgive him! He may look like hes bullying you, but he was rough with you because he wanted to leave the orphanage to you after hes gone. You know that, right? Yeah. He told me that before. But that doesnt matter! Even if he has a reason, he overdid it! Right, I also think that he overdid it. Then whats the difference between what you did with Ren and what Bob did to you? Eh? At least, Bob has a reason to harass. What about you? You dont have any reason, right? Should you do all of that just to hide your embarrassment? I have told you many times when we were still in the orphanage that she would hate you if you kept bullying her, right? Do you understand what youve done so much to Ren? You bullied her and made her cry. I dont understand where you get the idea that she likes you. Eh I did that? Ah, no But, thats

Oh, did he finally reflect on his actions? And it seemed like he understood what he had done. His expression turned from confusion to shock. Flustered, he shifted his eyes to me. Disgusting, dont look at me.

You said that we didnt tell you about Ren, but the reason was that Ren told us she didnt want to see your face. Do you have any complaints? Thats But she taught you many things and helped us, right? If she didnt want to see my face, then why did she do that? I wanted to help my friends Triela, Maricle, and Rico, who I consider as my younger sister. You just happened to be in the same party as them. Meaning, you and your team are just a bonus. In the first place, I wouldnt even get involved with you if Triela and my friends arent with you. Wha Ren, you!

Ah, did he get angry?

You!

Eh? Did he want to grab me? Norn, please chase him away!

I found you!!! Cain, die!!!!!

Bam!

Ugh!?

Before Norn could kick him off, Arle, who was running very vigorously, kicked Cain and sent him flying. After flying away for around two meters, Cain twitched. Tsk, hes still alive? What a persistent guy. Also, Cain was going to hit me just now, right? His head is really broken.

Norn, who lost her chance to shine, had her jaws drop. Norn, something like this will happen sometimes.

Haa, Im refreshed. Ren, did I come in time? Yeah, that was dangerous. We just talked a little bit. Mumumu. Haa, uhh, did I come in time?

Oh, Maricle also appeared.

Unfortunately, youre late, Maricle. Sorry, Ren. It seems like Cain heard us when Maricle and I were chatting Its a matter of time. Dont worry about it. Sorry. Maricle, Arle, lets leave it at that. Im sorry Ren, were going home now. Cain just fainted by Arles jumping kick, so Maricle will carry him on his back. Is that okay? Yeah, its okay! It looks like he finally understood what he had done, so this is a good opportunity to scold Cain once we return! Ill make sure he wont look for you on his own! Maricle, please help out too, okay!? I understand. We have bothered you, Ren. Its fine. Ill leave that matter to you guys, then. Yes, leave it to us! I will kick him around too!

In the end, everything felt like a mess, but it was settled for now. Everyone went home after apologizing. Since he did something ridiculous, please make sure to beat the shit out of him, okay?
