Kajiya de Hajimeru Isekai Slow Life

Today, Rike is coming back with us.

I told her that we can come back tomorrow to pick her up but she is eager to go with us today, so I consent to it. If we take our time here it will eventually get dark and become dangerous, so I ask Rike to pack her luggage quickly so we can go home early.

Fortunately (?), since she was not sure when she would leave, it seems that she always keeps her luggage at the ready. She immediately descended from the second floor. However……

“Are you alright with that luggage?”

“Yes. I’ve came this far with this in tow.”

“Is that so?”

Rike is carrying a rucksack about half of her size. I don’t know if it was done during her travels but there are traces of repairs here and there. But, as Rike says, she came this far with that so I guess it’s okay to walk just like this.Yume Neiji

“Then, let’s go right away. Even though we have Samia with us, it will be difficult when the sun sets.”

“Okay, Boss!”

Rike answers cheerfully. Let’s make her stop with the boss thing…

The three of us walk to the main road in a hurry. Aside from me and Samia, Rike drank a fair amount of sake and her luggage was big but she’s walking steadily. Is it because she’s a dwarf? This is translated by Yume Neiji (yumeineijiworks.wordpress.com

Then we arrived at the forest entrance more or less 20 minutes earlier than usual.

“We’ll be going through the forest from here on so don’t stray from us.”

“Yes, boss!”

“If by any chance you got lost, I’ll surely find you so don’t make any loud voice. If there’s a dangerous being in the area, I’m afraid you might attract it instead.”

Samia warned her.

“Y-Yes, I understand.”

“We will take a break after an hour, so please do your best until then.”

“Yes!”

Then we start moving into the forest. Rike wasn’t too worried, but it seems like she’s not used to walk in the forest, she occasionally trips over tree roots and grass. Even so, we still didn’t get late. She was able to keep with us until the first break.

“Rike, are your legs still fine? If you feel any pain, just say so alright?”

“No, I’m fine. This is nothing.”

“In cases like this, it is more dangerous if you overdo it. If you feel any discomfort, please tell me immediately.”

“Yes. I understand, boss.”

Then, after about 1 hour after moving again, we arrived at my house. We barely made it before the sun set, my house stood in the dim light. On the way, Rike didn’t collapse nor complain that her legs hurt.

“This is our house and it’s also our workshop.”

“Wow, it’s pretty big.”

“Well, yeah.”

At least she’s more surprised at the sudden appearance of such a house.

“Are your legs alright?”

“Yes. I’m fine! It’s easier to walk than what I expected!”

“Is that so? Then let’s get inside for the time being.”

I used the key to remove the bolt and opened the door.

“Yes!”

Pitter-patter, Rike goes in. Samia follows right after.

“Samia-”

I called out to her.

“Hn? What is it?”

“Thank you.”

I knew that Samia chose a route that was easy to walk on and less likely to meet other creatures.This is translated by Yume Neiji (yumeineijiworks.wordpress.com

“O-Okay…”

Samia enters the house looking flustered and bashful. I remember that she laughed after Rike called me boss but, this girl, in times like this looks really cute.

I let Rike and Samia put their luggage in the bedroom while I head to the study to put mine, then I prepare our meals quickly and the three of us surround the dining table.

“Well then, it’s nice to have you here but there are not enough rooms to sleep in. So, Samia and Rike will sleep in the bedroom for the meantime.”

“Eh? No, I will feel bad! I don’t want to get in between you two. I also have camping equipment with me, so I can just set it on this floor.”

“Hn? Even now, me and Samia are sleeping separately, so nothing will change in particular.”

In fact, Samia still slept in my bedroom and I was sleeping in the study. Samia said she can now give up the bedroom for several times, but each time, I refused. By the way, I am sleeping with a blanket now, and surprisingly, I can sleep more comfortably than I expected.

“Eh, is that so? Even though you’re a couple?”

“Puuh!?”

Samia spouted the deer soup she was eating before I can even react.

“I–I–I-Idiot! What are you saying?! Me and Eizou aren’t like that!”

Samia fiercely protests with most likely a bright red face. I’m not really sure about beastman’s complexion.

“Really? When I first met you, Samia-san is always protecting boss. And after that, you can communicate with just glancing at each other and from the way boss speaks, I can see that he also cares for Samia-san. So I’m certain that’s the case.…”

Rike thought it’s strange. It’s only been about a month since I met Samia, but since we’ve been together almost all the time, we were able to naturally convey our thoughts without speaking like telepathy to a certain extent. Samia generally understands what I want to say. However, being noticed like this… it’s a little embarrassing.

“Well, that’s how it is. There’s nothing going on between me and Samia for now. We’re like a family though.”

“Since you’re both living in the same workshop, right?”

So in a dwarf’s sense, living in the same workshop is equal to a family huh.

“Yeah something like that.”

When I glanced at Samia, I’m not sure if she has already recovered considerably but, she’s curled up while drinking soup. Not good, so this is what she means….

“Well then, for that reason, two girls will stay in the bedroom and the man will use the study room. That will be our room allocation. As the owner of this house and as the boss of the workshop, this is my decision and it cannot be changed.”

“Yes”

“Ye-s”

Rike and Samia responded. Probably they are not convinced with this but I have no choice but to push through with it.

“Well, please bear with it until each room is created.”

“Speaking of which, do we already have lumbers?”

“Yeah. We already secured enough… I think. It should be dry soon so we can start tomorrow.”This is translated by Yume Neiji (yumeineijiworks.wordpress.com

“I understand!”

“Okay”

Thus, the resident in my house increased by one more person.
