Dropped Into Another World V3C11

Chapter 11 – I’m Not Scary

「Are you sure you are alright?」

I asked him repeatedly, but he would say he’ll show me around for some reason.

I guess I have no choice but to have him show me around…..

One of the people behind him started to tremble which bothered me.

It can’t be helped.

「Heal」

I cast a spell to heal the three of them of their illnesses and injuries.

Light envelops the three of them and quickly disappears into them.

「「「Eh!?」」」

The three of them have surprised expressions on their faces as I look at their state.

Good.

It looks like their complexion has returned to normal and they’re no longer trembling.

Heal works on them too.

I’ve been using it on Kuuhi and the others but I was worried that it would be different outside the forest but I guess I’m just being paranoid.

「His lordship’s magic is almighty.」

I tilted my neck seeing how stunned Koa was.

Is she saying that I used too much magical power?

「Ah, could it be that there’s something wrong with their bodies?」

If Koa says it’s powerful, that means she means it. Though I only thought of healing them in order to not become a burden.

「We’re okay now. Thank you very much.」

Dadavis-san moved his body a little and confirmed it.

The other two are silent but they nod so they should be okay too.

「Ano, excuse me.」

I think the guy who just said that is Cafiret-san as introduced by Dadavis-san. He should be his adjutant.

So, what does he want to tell me?

「What is it?」

「Do you only need to get money? Or are you looking for a place to trade?」

Hmmm, trade is a must.

We need money to hire a teacher for the kids after all.

Right now, I’m thinking of getting two teachers.

They need to be taught common sense, reading, writing, and math.

After they have made some progress, I want them to learn about various things in this world.

In that case, I probably need to hire more teachers along the way.

If I hire more teachers, I need more money.

In other words, we need to know where we can trade.

We don’t know if we’ll ever meet Dadavis-san’s party again after all.

「I also want to check the place so that I can do it again when I need some money again.」

Cafiret-san nodded.

「Is that so, then….can you ride a horse?」

Horse?

I can’t.

「His lordship will ride on me so there won’t be any problem.」

Before I could answer, Koa answered while showing her fangs a little. It looks like Koa didn’t like his question.

「I-is that so? Ca….can you please wait for us here while we go get our horse?」

Koa is scary. It’s normal for him to act like that.

Well, we decided not to worry about that and wait but we were right in the middle of the road.

I looked around….I saw a place that looked like a square and there were chairs a little further away.

「I guess I’ll wait in the square.」

「Understood. We will get ready right away so please wait.」

Dadavis-san puts his hand on his chest and bows deeply. After that, he runs toward his companions.

They are still in awe of me.

I guess it’s not easy to get to know each other right away.

「There are only chairs and tables in this square….the rest are sticks?」

There is no jungle gym or seesaw or other playing equipment for children.

I don’t even know if they exist in this world.

There was no equipment that the children could play with.

Instead, long sticks are stuck all over the square.

They might have a meaning but I don’t know what it is at this point.

The fact that there’s no children’s playing equipment suggests that this is a place for adults to relax.

But then, there are no flower beds planted with flowers so this place is rather bleak.

As I stared at the plaza, I heard the sound of horses’ hoofs approaching.

Upon reaching the square, I only found Dadavis-san alone.

「Areh? Is it only you?」

「Ehto, I had them report to the king so I told them to go back first.」

Dadavis-san said with an impatient look on his face.

Could it be that they were busy? If that is the case, why did he insist when I already said no?

…..I better finish my errand fast in order for them to continue what they need to do.

How far is it to the next village?

「Ano, please call me Dadavis. No need to add “sama”.」

「Eh?」

TN: Eh, too. Not sure where he got “sama” since MC always uses “san” on him.

But you’re a knight of this country, right?

I am….a commoner of this country? No, I’m a trespasser.

No, is there even trespassing here?

Dadavis, a knight of this county, will show me around.

Ah, he called me god of the forest or something earlier and Koa kind of corrected him…..

What the hell am I supposed to be?

I thought it was for the children’s sake but maybe we should talk about it properly.

「Ano, is there a problem?」

Hnn?

Why do you look so pale again?

Are you nervous?

Am I being misunderstood?

Ah, things are getting worse and worse!

「I get it. Dadavis, right?」

「Yes」

Oh, he looked so relieved.

This is bad.

I seem to have been recognized as a very dangerous existence.

Do I look that scary?

….I look normal, right?

Not too bad, not too good….normal.

I’m not even on the tough side!

「Then, please follow me.」

「Yeah」

I rode Koa and followed them.

Koa knitted her brows.

Slow…..I imagined horses being fast but compared to Koa, they are pretty slow.

「We’re not in a hurry so let’s take it slow, Koa.」

They are showing us the way so there’s no need to be impatient.

「If his lordship says so. I guess I have no choice.」

Koa let out a small sigh as if she had given up.

She smiles wryly and I pat her head.

「The scenery is so tranquil. 」

Looking around, I saw a row of fields.

Well, the people working in the field were stunned and watched us, so it might not be the correct description.

「This place is close to the forest and I would say it receives the most blessings from the forest. 」

Blessing from the forest?

There’s something like that?

「What blessing? 」

「The river. 」

River?

Come to think of it, there were many rivers flowing into the village from the forest.

That’s the blessing from the forest?

Is the river water special?

It’s even infested by amoebas…..fuwaaa, I’m sleepy.

Come to think of it, the water in the river contained magical power.

「Your lordship, it has come into view. 」

Chai’s words brought me back to consciousness.

….did I fall asleep?

I’ve never slept on Koa before.

She never runs slowly.

I guess Koa’s magic supported my body.

「Fuwaaaa, is that it?」

Oh, it’s got a wooden outer wall!

And there’s even a big gate.

Looks like we’ll need to get checked out before we can enter the village.

This time, it should be okay since Dadavis is here but what should we do if he’s not with us?

「I’ll go ahead to make sure we can pass through.」

Dadavis called out to me who was behind him, and then he increased his speed a little and ran to the gate.

Eh? You could speed up?

「It’s a pretty good gate and outer wall.」

The gate is big and the thick wood used gives it an immense feeling of solidity.

The gate is connected to wooden planks of the same color as the one used for the gate.

The wooden planks are also relatively high and they seemed to be lined up to protect the village from invasion.

I looked ahead of the outer wall but it continued as far as I could see and I didn’t see its end.

「Ano」

「Yes?」

He should be Vice Commander Kimir.

「We’re not preparing to start a war or anything like that.」

Eh? What in the world are you saying?

War, is it?….you’re not preparing for war?

You’re just being a little too nervous, are you?

Well, he seems to be nervous about me so I won’t blame him but why did he suddenly talk like that?

When I look at Koa…Why are you glaring at Kimir?

Eh….why?

Is it something about the war?

Did he become impatient because we saw them preparing?

I look around and all I can see is a peaceful rural place.

「Ano….」

「It’s okay. I also think that this country isn’t going to start a war. I would prefer if there’s no war.」

I have no idea what’s going on but given my answer, it should be fine.

However, could war break out in this world?

Eh?

The forest problem is over, and war is next?

No, no, no, that can’t be, impossible.

「I-I’m glad you understand.」

No, I don’t understand.

I have no idea what the heck you are talking about.

Should I ask him?

But when I look at Kimir….he looks so relieved.

「Thank you for waiting.」

I was surprised.

It was Dadavis.

「We can pass right away so, please.」

「Do I need to do anything?」

I won’t be checked even though I’m a very suspicious person?

Is this okay?

「Come to think of it, how do you defend yourself from being invaded from the sky?」

「「「Eh!」」」

The three of them froze after hearing my question.

…..ah, I shouldn’t have asked.

Sorry.
