Dropped Into Another World V3C48

Chapter 48 – Golem’s Reflection Meeting

—One Eyes’ Leader’s POV—

「Now, let’s start a “reflection meeting” on today’s event.」

I look around at my companions around the table in the living room.

Unlike usual, I noticed that everyone was a little nervous today.

I can’t blame them.

That’s probably because we have been warned by his lordship.

Honestly, I’m still shocked.

However, we can’t stay like this.

We exist for his lordship so we must heed his wishes!

「Today, his lordship told us “I’m a normal human”. We have been striving to make his lordship special but it seems like we have made a mistake. Therefore, starting today, we will change direction. Does anyone of you have any objections?」

None reacted to what I said.

There were no objections and everyone seemed to be motivated.

I’m proud that they are like that so I continued.

「Then, let us begin by thinking what it is to be a normal human.」

My words give everyone an air of bewilderment.

I, myself, am a little uneasy.

I don’t know what normal is!

「His lordship said, it is an “average, ordinary human”. I have thought about it a lot but I don’t get what it is. Can anyone elaborate?」

I look around at my companions but all of them are shaking their heads.

「This is a problem, isn’t it?」

Now, how do we understand what a normal human is?

I have been thinking about it all day but nothing has come to my mind.

It’s a very important matter that came from his lordship’s mouth!

However, I’m helpless.

I can’t help but be frustrated.

However, I can’t afford to stay discouraged!

I must know what it is like to be a normal human no matter what it takes for his lordship!

「May I?」

I turned my gaze to the little oni.

In order to become a dismantling expert, the little onis are researching how to quickly and skillfully dismantle every day.

Recently, his lordship saw the little onis working and he said “Amazing!”.

I’ve never seen the little onis so happy.

I wish his lordship will call us “amazing” too.

Oh, that wasn’t the topic now.

Let’s get back on track.

「If you have any opinion, please say so.」

「Yeah, why don’t we observe and study normal humans?」

Observe and study normal humans?

That might be a good idea.

No matter how much we discuss, none of us know what a normal human is so we won’t get any answer.

「I think that’s a good idea, how about others?」

「I agree. However, how do we find a normal human?」

The leader of the farming corps, representing the farming corps, agreed.

And then, presented the next problem.

Right, we don’t know what a normal human is so how can we find one?

「Well, I think we just have to study a lot of humans and find the average and then, look for someone who fits that criteria.」

「I see. That would definitely allow us to find a normal human.」

The three eyes nods and looks at me.

The other seems to agree.

Good.

For now, I know what we need to do.

「However, are we only observing humans?」

One of the farming corps tilted its head.

And the others around look at it strangely.

Even I don’t understand what it means.

「What do you mean?」

「Is it really okay if we’re only going to observe humans?」

Only humans?

That is….shouldn’t it?

Then, I recalled his lordship’s words.

He said「Before I transmigrated into this world, I’m just a normal human.」

Also, 「I look like a human from the human country but at the same time, not like them.」.

…..this is difficult but we must think hard.

「Does that mean that he looks like a human but his power is different compared to humans?」

Right!

He has the same appearance as the humans from the human country but unlike the humans of that country, he has enormous power.

That is what he meant.

However, what does it have to do with being a normal human before transmigrating into this world?

「He asked us to stop worshiping him.」

It’s a one eye who’s muttering to itself says that.

I was a little disappointed about that too.

I wanted to spread his lordship’s greatness in this world.

How wonderful, lovely, powerful, and kind his lordship is.

….truly disappointing.

Then, why don’t we just spread it secretly…..no, no, that is against his lordship’s wish.

What have I thought?

I need to strengthen my heart.

「As for what his lordship meant when he said, “In his previous world, he’s just a normal person”. I think he meant to tell us that in his previous world, he is normal compared to all the people of that world, isn’t he? In other words, in this world too, he meant to be normal in terms of all races and not just humans, right?」

Hnn?

Ehto….does that mean we need to study all the people in this world and come up with an average?

Is that really the case?

Something doesn’t feel right…..however, I can’t think of anything else.

It’s true that his lordship sometimes tests us by making us do something hard. Is this one of those?

It must be!

「I see. So that’s how it is.」

Seeing me figuring it out, everyone turns their gaze to me.

「Let us overcome his lordship’s trial together.」

Hearing me say that, everyone raises one of their arms to show motivation.

 

「Then, let’s start with our observation, however, we can’t neglect our day-to-day duty. So, it will take a little time but it can’t be helped. I’m sure his lordship will understand.」

He is kind after all.

「In what order should we go?」

「Yes, let’s talk about that. It will take a good deal of time to observe the people of each race so we’ll split up to observe and report it back to everyone. We will observe humans, the farming corps will be in charge of the beastkins, and the three eyes and little onis will work together to observe the elves.」

They nodded in agreement but I looked at the three eyes and the little onis.

Their number is lesser compared to us or the farming corps.

Will it affect their day-to-day duty if they observe?

「Are the three eyes and the little onis alright? Do you need help?」

「No, we are fine. The number of monsters being hunted these days is around the same so there won’t be any problem. Even if there is a sudden increase, we can cope with it. How about the three eyes?」

The little onis seem to be fine.

「We have no problem either. The only time we are busy is during season change.」

The three eyes are fine too.

「Okay, then, let’s do as we agreed upon and take some time to observe. Let’s see….yeah, let’s hold the “1st Observation Report Meeting” in 5 days. Until then, please observe as much as time permits.」

Everyone nodded vigorously.

They all looked encouraged.

Now, we will be able to understand the ordinary person that his lordship is saying.

「Okay, that’s it for today. Let’s meet again in five days.」

I see each of them off to return to their posts.

「Good job.」

The leader of the farming corps comes to me with a basket of vegetables.

「What are they?」

「Improved breed. I would like your opinion on it. Can you check their edibility?」

I took the basket and took one out.

It looks like a potato.

「Understood. What did you improve?」

「It is supposed to be less astringent and sweeter. However, I’m worried about its suitability for cooking.」

I see.

So, we’ll just have to cook it and see how it goes.

「Okay. Is this okay to use in stews?」

「Yes, I think it’s very good for children because of its high nutritional value.」

I see, that’s good.

Diet is very important for children’s health.

The angels, Momo(Peach) and Sumire(Violet) were plump but Taiyou and the other children are still on the skinny side.

「Thank you.」

「Don’t mention it, see you in five days.」

When we get new vegetables, we get excited.

Now, what kind of dish should we use it for his lordship?

 

Ah, it is almost two hours since I’ve been away from his lordship.

Let’s check him out once.

 

Hnn?

…..once we start observing humans, won’t we be away from his lordship for more than two hours?

What should we do?

This is a serious matter!

「Since it has come to this, let’s get observation cameras—」

Boom.

「No, you can’t do that. I absolutely won’t allow it!」

Looking back, I found the vice leader.

…..this one is really angry.

Have I gone a little too far?

However, I can’t give up.

Stealthily…..

「Hnn?」

「No, I’ll just finish my human observation quickly. 」

「Go ahead and take your time. It would be better if you take a closer look. 」

That!
