Kajiya de Hajimeru Isekai Slow Life

The bushes are rustling once again. This time, I noticed it. Samia lived in the forest, and she’s a tiger beastman so she’s good at erasing the sound of her footsteps and erasing her other traces, but she’s different.

“Rike”

“B-Boss, Did I get in your way?”

“No, that’s not true.”

Not….. supposedly. Samia is still sniffling and her head was pressed against my chest. As I am being hugged by a beastman with almost full power, my wounds and bruises hurt but it is better not to say that…

“Samia says that boss’ is too slow to return, if you defeated it, you should have been back by now… That’s when we decided to see the situation together.”

“Going outside might be dangerous…..”

“Well… That’s what a maiden in love does so I can’t stop her you see. Then, both boss’ and the big black bear’s smell approached together, so we thought it came into the worst situation. We then set for an ambush.”

“I see……”

So that was why Samia jump at me to get me back first huh.

With only the bear’s arm on my shoulder, the bear appears to be moving. In addition, with the bear holding my shoulder, the bear suddenly looks as if it’s carrying me. For a “maiden in love’s” point of view, she didn’t notice it as she’s full of worry for me. I need to express my gratitude then.This is translated by Yume Neiji (yumeineijiworks.wordpress.com)

“Thanks”

“No, say it to Samia.”

“Thank you Samia”

“Un……”

Samia is much calmer than before but she doesn’t want to separate from me yet. Alas, I give up.

“For the time being, let’s go home okay. Hey?”

I urged her while patting her head. Then,

“Un……”

Samia finally separated from me.

“So boss, did you completely kill the bear?”

“Yeah. I haven’t removed the intestines yet, I thought that it can be considered as meat.”

“I didn’t think that there are humans who can survive the big black bear but… Well, there aren’t many dwarves who can be defeated by a human blacksmith either.”

“That… There’s a reason behind it you see.”

I then grinned.This is translated by Yume Neiji (yumeineijiworks.wordpress.com)

“Well, let’s go with that.”

Rike sighed and pushed it to the back of her mind for the time being.

“Alright then, shall we carry it now…?”

“Will you be okay? Aren’t you hurt?”

Samia is worried about me.

“No, it’s about half more. If it’s only that much, I can still do it.”

I put on a bold front. Though it’s just a bluff, maybe if I take my time, I’ll be able to return safely.This is translated by Yume Neiji (yumeineijiworks.wordpress.com)

“Well, if it’s okay with Eizou, it’s fine then.”

Me and Samia carry each bear arm and drag it. Then Rike holds the spear. It should be a short spear, but with Rike’s height, it looks long. Rike is walking while looking at the spear. That’s because it’s a custom model.

“It’s dangerous to walk while looking at it.”

I advised Rike as she was like those who look at their smartphone while the walking in my previous world. I voiced out since the spear is an edged tool. It’s really dangerous so I stopped her from doing so.

Since we came near the lake on the way, I consulted with Samia and decided to keep it there until tomorrow. After that, it’s our house if we walk for half an hour.

When we got home, I was really tired. But I have to wipe my body first… With unsteady footstep, I head to the kitchen and magically light the stove.

“I will prepare the hot water and food so Samia-san and boss can go to the bedroom.”

“Okay, I understand.”

Hn?, I’ll go to the bedroom?

“No, I’ll go to the study…”

“It’s okay, injured person should just listen to what we say.”

With the pressure on Samia’s words, I don’t even have an option.

“O-Okay…”

“Then I’ll lend you my shoulder. Let’s go.”

I borrowed Samia’s shoulder then we entered the bedroom. When I carefully think about it, this is the first time I’ve used the bedroom in my house. It looks like a new room to me.

If I lie down like this, the bed will get muddy so I temporarily sit on the round chair.

“O-ouuch…”

It’s not fitted for someone who has scratches and it seems that my bruises are getting more painful, it hurts here and there.

“O-Oi!”

Samia calls out in a panicked state.

“Uhm, I’m fine. I have some bruises here and there and it just hurts a little. There are no broken bones or deep cuts.”

“Really?”

Teary-eyed, she looked straight into my eyes.

“Yeah”

Upon hearing that, Samia looks relieved. Samia is quite anxious. I thought so, but I swallowed my words. If I say that, she will surely sulk.

“First of all, I have to wipe my body…. Samia, tell me if the water boiled.”

“O-Okay. I’ll take a look at it now.”

Samia then left the room. Silence came for the first time in a while and my body strongly wants to rest. This is because my body is aware of my safety and rest is the top priority for now. This is bad….. At this rate, I…will…..sure……ly…..fall…..as…..

I awaken feeling something fluffy in my head. I woke up means that I have fallen asleep. I haven’t wiped my body. Realizing that, I then raised my body in a hurry. I was then stunned to find Samia with surprised look.

“G-Good morning”

I don’t know what to say, so I just say such thing. Samia replied back with surprised look,

“Y-Yeah. Good morning.”

“I fall asleep?”

“Y-Yeah. Sound asleep. Rike says that if we do not wipe your body, bad wind will enter your body, so the two of us wiped you with hot water and laid you on the bed. We did not take off your underwear though.”

“I see… my bad.”

“It’s nothing to worry about.”

I lie down on the bed once again. Just in time when Rike entered.

“Oh, boss. You’re already awake huh.”

“Yeah. Rike, sorry for the trouble.”

“No, it’s nothing. It’s okay. Ah right, about Samia, when Eizou–!…..”

“Waa–––––ah!!!”

Samia yells suddenly. It’s almost like a tiger’s roar.

“I-I-I-I-Idiot! Don’t say that!”

“Oh. I think it’s alright though. You’re a shy one huh.”

Rike lightly teased Samia who’s flustered enough. Rike is quite skilled with this topic. Hn?

“The two of you stopped calling each other with the addition of –san huh.”

“Yes, we did that. When we put boss in the bed, Samia and I talked about it. Right?”

“Yeah. We live together, so I think it is better.”

“Is that so? That’s a good thing then.”

I think so from the bottom of my heart. As Samia says, regardless of how long it will be (probably it won’t take a month), but it’s better if we live together for a longer time, so it’s better to have a form that is easy for each other.

“Rike doesn’t have to call me boss too.”

I also joined in.

“That’s no good, boss.”

It was refused quickly.
