Takarakuji de 40-oku Atattandakedo Isekai ni Ijuu Suru

Thirty Stories: From the Shadows of the Rock

The moment he heard the Colts' words, Isaac had the illusion that his own head would burn.

If Isaac remembers correctly, the person named Kazra and others does not live in this village.

If the person was really there, it would mean that the village chief and Barletta were lying.

Isaac gaveled at Colts' words as he desperately indulged in anger behind his smile.

"Oh, yeah, that was the name Kazura. I'd like to talk to that guy for a minute, you know where he is right now?

"Hmm, my mother said before noon that I was going back to God's world, so I guess I'm not in the village anymore"

"... God's world?

Hearing the unexpected word God, Isaac overheard it.

I didn't understand what the Colts were talking about.

"That's right. Didn't the mayor tell you?

"... where is that godly world?

When Isaac asked, the Colts looked up at Isaac in a frightened manner.

"It's behind the woods over there...... stay, you've been in this village many times, and you don't even know that?

Isaac looked in the direction of Colts' finger pointing, and saw a miscellaneous forest in the distance.

Of course Isaac knows the legend of Graciol surrounded by its cluttered woods.

I know, but I don't know what it has to do with the legend of Graciol with a person named Kazra.

"Oh, no... those woods are the woods where Master Gracior appeared, right?

"Oh, my God, you know. Well, let's get to my house."

"Huh? Hey, wait a minute! Did a guy named Kazura go into that forest over there?

Isaac hastily pulled over the Colts walking out toward his house, as if the story was over.

In the mouth of the Colts, it's like a person named Kazra is God's use or something.

When Isaac inquired that way, the Colts, walking forward, stopped on their feet perfectly and looked back at Isaac curly.

"... you're in, no way..."

Colts said so with Isaac looking straight up, his expression blued as he saw it, turning his back on Isaac again.

"I'm leaving now."

"Oh, hey!

When Colts said so briefly, he ran to his own house without even hearing Isaac stop.

Isaac dropped off the back of the running Colts, thinking back to what the Colts were saying, temporarily on the spot.

Around that time, Yiliang, who had returned from the village of Grisea to Japan before noon, had used a shovel to dig a number of small holes in the ground in the sun that had begun to fall.

This is a 1000-tsubo field in a district of Saitama Prefecture, rented by Maki, the father of Ichigo, from a landlord he knows.

I don't know why I'm doing this, but Masaki called me right after I moved to Japan and turned it on to my phone and told me to "face my parents sometimes," so I quickly came home.

"I'll plant asparagus seedlings, so help me."

I was told that I had been taken by light tiger to the field.

The asparagus seedlings you are going to plant are massively arranged beside the fields where Ichigo is digging holes, with them in a large black plastic pot.

"You're very handy, aren't you? You've already dug so much."

When Ichirano was silently digging holes at equal intervals, Masaki pushed a hand-pressed wheelbarrow with fertilizer and flat clams at three more rows of replanting holes to finish digging.

Because Maki has been working in the fields from day to day, or because the wasted luxury is almost muscular.

The height is slightly lower than the good to the point of not reaching 170cm, but the gray hair, somewhat mixed with the tan brown skin, matches the good condition, with a dandy look inside.

"I've been a farmer in the neighborhood of the Mansion lately, and they let me help with the fields every day. You'll be better off."

Yiliang said so and finished digging the rest of the hole, poking the shovel to the ground and wiping the sweat off his face with the towel he had hung around his neck.

Compared to when working in the field in the village of Grisea, the heat in Saitama is quite spicy physically for a certain amount of humidity, so much so that there is a lot of sweat coming out without having to do anything.

"Well, you're helping the field, and you're being reasonable. Are you and your neighbors getting along?

When I heard of the help of Hatake, Maki nodded as if he was convinced of a good appearance that was largely more successful than before.

Ichigo was a physically poor category of human being because he had never put any particular effort into sports or anything like that before, but thanks to his farming work over the last month or so he gained quite a bit of muscle.

Because meals were mainly rice and cans brought in by Yiyi, the village barely eats meals and basically doesn't eat doka, so the detoxification effect is good, and the body feels comfortable.

Occasionally, when I return to Japan, I eat in large quantities in the family, etc., but it is very sweet there.

"Yeah, we're all good people... oh, yeah, I want you to tell me one thing about the mansion"

"Mansion? Oh, you didn't have any dust as old. It used to be beautiful when I went there."

Maki began to annoy himself when he unloaded the fertilizer from the wheelbarrow, saying so.

But that's not what Ichigo wants to hear.

"No, I didn't"

And break the waist of the story.

"There was a room in the back of the mansion with a padlock sealing the door, you know what that room is?

"A padlock?... Was there a room like that? When I used to go, there was no room with a padlock."

Maki, who leans his neck with a strange face, was somehow misinformed about the room that leads to the other world.

Being someone who might know about the mansion in addition to Maiji, you may know who it is if you take a total view of your relatives, but you don't plan on seeing your relatives face in the immediate future.

I don't really need any information about the mansion right away, so the first thing I'm going to do is put it on hold.

"Besides, there are few private houses around that mansion, but is security okay? Be very careful with robberies and stuff."

"I don't hear any of that noise... isn't it safer in the country than in the city?

When Ichiyoshi answers that, Maki sees Ichiyoshi with what a worrying look.

"No, not necessarily. I've never been too careful. I've got some security gear for you, so take it home."

"Security equipment... before that, I'd just like to pull a tap into the mansion."

Talking about it, Maki replanted the seedlings in the hole where Ichiyoshi dug them, and even continued the task of mixing the scattered fertilizer with the soil, expanding the asparagus field smoothly.

Two hours after the two of us started replanting work.

Finally all the asparagus replanting was over, and the sun had fallen, and the two of us were going home together.

On a good initial plan, I also picked up a souvenir book for Barletta in a city in Gunma prefecture, and I was going to buy something delicious and go back to the village of Gricea the following noon to see how it went, but the call of Maiji drove the plan crazy.

So for now, I stayed at my parents' house and changed my plans to do the aforementioned work by about tomorrow evening.

As I opened the light tiger window completely and ran down the national highway in the passenger seat in a slightly exhaust-smelling breeze, the driver's seat, speaking of which, rang out to me.

"Do you use tillers or something with farmers' handbooks? If you're bad at it, you'll get hurt, so be careful if you're using it."

"I don't use tillers or machines. Because we only have shovels and shovels."

"Really... you don't even plan on letting me use the stuff from the house you're helping me with?

"Hmm..."

In response to Maiji's inquiry, Ichirano thought about the future of the village of Futoglicea.

Machinery would allow us to cultivate vast tracts of land at once, greatly reducing the burden on the people of the village.

However, the power of the machine now seemed unnecessary to villagers who were becoming tireless supermen thanks to the food of this world brought in by Ichiyoshi.

Besides that, there is no reason why we have to rush to cultivate the fields, and now that vegetables are growing well, we will not need any more agricultural support only in the village of Gricea.

And most importantly, if you're a water truck, you can still bring in a chunk of overtechnology called a tiller or something, and there's no excuse in case anyone other than the villagers finds you.

"No, I don't know if you plan on letting me use it in particular. Enough is enough."

When Ichirano said that, Maki looked relieved.

"Right."

and groaned.

Seeing Maki like that, I thought Ichigo would be too attentive to his son, who turned 25 for anything, but I guess that's what parents are for.

Ichiyoshi is my only child, so maybe as a father I care extra.

"Welcome back. It must have been tough helping the field."

When I arrived at my parents' house and Ichiyoshi and Maki entered the house, my mother's harmony (mumps) greeted me at the front door.

Unlike Maoji, Makoto has no gray hair at all, and her skin looks beautiful and much younger at the same age of 54 as Maoji.

Is this the bottom line of a woman who cares about her diet every day or fails to take care of her skin?

"I'm home. I drove long distances from the hordes and it was a field as it was. I'm just tired."

As Ichirano said so, taking off his shoes, he noticed that there was some delicious smell coming from the back of the house.

Apparently, dinner is sukiyaki.

"Oh, you lost a little weight, didn't you? Are you eating properly?

"I want you to tell me that wasted luxury fell and tightened. I'm having a good meal."

Moving up to the house in the gaze of her mother, who stares at her body, washes her hands with Maiji and moves to the living room.

Sukiyaki is boiled in a pan on the living room table, and raw eggs are served for three and meals are ready.

When harmony finishes serving rice in a tea bowl, we all join hands.

"I'll have it."

I say, then I put chopsticks on the sukiyaki pan.

"Hey, looks like you've been to the herd for over a month now, but how much longer are you planning on being in the mansion?

When Ichigo was puckering on the sukiyaki with fierce momentum on the flavor of our long time home, harmony heard him as he took the extra meat out of the fridge.

"Mm, I'm still going to live in the mansion for a while. It's fun to live in the country, and there's no one here to gather for gold."

Ever since we moved to the Gunma Mansion, the guys who were gathered for the lottery winnings seemed to be able to sprinkle it completely, and there's never been anything like someone pushing us into the mansion.

Although returning to Japan is probably the most important factor in itself, living in almost different worlds once a week.

Either way, I am familiar with life in the village of Grisea and enjoy a slow life in different worlds. For the time being, I want to continue living like 90% different worlds 10% Japan.

"Yes... but please contact my parents once in a while. It seems that the area where your mansion is located is too deep, and most of the time you can't get a radio wave when you call. Looks like I just happened to be connected from Maiji's phone today."

"That's right. We'll be worried if we don't hear from you all the time. Just give me one phone call a month or so."

"Uh... right, I'll remember that"

In retrospect, once I called Maki a month ago, I never contacted my parents.

Even when I occasionally come back to Japan to procure supplies, I mostly act while turning off my phone, and I can't contact my parents first unless I call them from here.

Besides, of course, when you're going to another world, the radio waves don't arrive, so it's only natural that no matter how many phone calls your parents make, they don't connect to a good phone.

"So, how was your first country life? Isn't it inconvenient that your mansion doesn't even have electricity?

"No, if you get used to it, you don't have to have as much electricity. There's enough lanterns for lights."

"What kind of life are you..."

With such talk, the night of family reunification slowly changed after Ichiyoshi became a member of society and only counted as much.

The next morning.

Even though the clock needle was still pointing to 6 a.m., Ichirano had loaded his car with a Boston bag containing clothes and other things in his parents' garage.

Maki is already awake and has put a large travel carry case in the back seat of a good car.

Reconciliation is not yet happening, and only two people are in the garage, Ichiyoshi and Maki.

"But you're leaving a long time ago. Can I help you with something?

Maki says as he finishes putting his bag in the back seat and hangs his hand on the handle of the door.

"Yeah, I have an appointment with a farmer who's helping you out a little bit... more importantly, what's in that carry case..."

"Whoa, there's something in there that might help you live in the country."

"Properly, you're too big for that carry case..."

Peeping into the car with that said, the carry case there is likely to be sized L no matter what you look at.

I pack too much of anything.

"Well, okay, it's nothing to rot about. Well, I guess I'm going to the field. I have to sow the saint house daikon today."

Maki said so and closed the car door and got into his own light tiger.

When Ichiyoshi sighs when he sees Masaki like that, he gets in his car and hangs the engine.

"Well, I'm going home to the hordes. Say hello to your mother."

"Aye, watch your body."

When he exchanged greetings, Ichigo stepped in the accelerator toward the herd horse.

Four hours after I left my parents' house.

Arriving in Gunma Prefecture, Ichiya had come to a previously visited personal herbal store after purchasing several daily necessities such as cans and soaps in downtown, as well as books for souvenirs to Valletta.

As with previous visits, various types of herbs are displayed in acrylic bins in stores that leave behind a nice atmosphere of ancient folk houses.

The female clerk, who was sitting in front of the cashier and reading the book, gave me a well-cooled herbal tea with bergamot in a paper cup for tasting when she confirmed that Ichiyoshi had come to the store.

"Uh, nettle, lemon barbena and... whoa, this herbal tea is delicious. Can I get 30 grams of the same one?

After a sip of the herbal tea she received and one good thing said so, the woman replied with pleasure to her understanding and began to divide the herbs into sachets from one of the acrylic bins.

Looking over the store often, it looks like there are a few blends that weren't there before.

Maybe the product I gave you today is also a new product.

Other pots with several herbal seedlings planted on the floor are placed along with the price tag.

"Oh, did you also start selling herbal seedlings?

"Yes, you said you wanted herbal seedlings when you had customers before. So I decided to share some of the things I was growing and put them in the store."

I didn't think my remarks would broaden the boundaries of the product based on it, but I'm very pleased with those concerns as a good idea.

Although the seedlings placed as commodities are still small in number, they are all good seedlings with solid leaves and stems.

All the seedlings I keep were from seeds that Ichigo didn't buy before.

"Well, I'm sorry I reminded you of something... so I guess I'll have one of these wild strawberries and marigold"

"Thank you. Speaking of which, did you get any seed buds bought and gone during this time? I think it's time to get out around Luccola."

When the woman put a sachet of seedlings and herbs designated by Ichigo in a plastic bag, she said so as she remembered.

Apparently, he also remembered the contents of the product that Ichigo had bought before.

"Yeah, I bought the seeds and planted what I could plant within the day, but Luccola and Basil are starting to bud in large quantities. There's no one else out there yet."

It's just two weeks today since I planted the herb seeds, but I haven't sprouted them, except for the two I raised earlier.

Basil still sprouts heavily, as if to say otherwise.

"I think it's time for the lemon balm to sprout. Please improve your ventilation."

"Yes, I planted the area with care, so I think it's ok... ah, essential oils..."

I had the product in a bag and I put out my wallet to do the accounting, and the essential oil on the shelf nearby caught my eye.

Come to think of it, I sometimes buy herbs as souvenirs for Valletta, but I have never bought essential oils.

You must have some preliminary knowledge in an herbal book, so you'd be happy to buy it and go.

"Excuse me, I need this essential oil with me. And one set of aromatic pots and one pouch at a time"

"Well, thank you for buying so much"

In the meantime, if you buy a few bottles of essential oils with 30 millilitres on your eye, along with a little expensive glass pot, etc.

"Thank you. Please come back."

and Yiliang followed the store as she was dropped off by a small, waving female clerk.

About three hours after Ichigo left the herbal store.

Isaac and three soldiers hid themselves in the shade of a rock on a small high hill, a few hundred metres from the waterwheel installed beside the waterway leading to the village of Grisea.

Isaac and two of his men have short spears and shields beside them on top of their armor, but the other soldier is not wearing armor, only wearing fabric clothes and inserting daggers on his hips.

The four of them do not exchange any words, except occasionally drink water from a wooden water bottle, staring at themselves hidden in the direction of the village of Gricea.

I was more concerned with Isaac, who was creating a tingling atmosphere somewhere rather than having nothing to say and not uttering words, and the three of his men seemed silent.

"Here we are. Hide in the shadows of the rocks."

Isaac finds something at the end of his gaze, letting three of his men pull completely into the rock shadow, and he calls out to the unarmed soldier.

"If the guys coming this way come to the side of the water truck, you run to the main unit. Tell them to take action exactly as we started the operation."

"Got it. You control the village chief's mansion and keep all the villagers in the house, don't you?

Isaac nodded in response to the soldier not wearing the armor that ordered the preaching, recalling a shadow headed this way that seemed far-sighted.

There was a considerable distance to the shadows, so I can't be sure, but apparently there are two of them who are coming this way.

If Isaac's predictions are correct, one of the two should be a person named Kazra, whom the Colts said yesterday.

Yesterday, after breaking up with the Colts, returning to the troops with nothing to eat, Isaac continued to travel with the troops until sundown towards Isteria, making them look as if they had all withdrawn.

He then quietly moved his troops back into the woods around the village during the night, lurking them.

Of course, he orders that two of his men be sent to Isteria in advance to inform him that the return of the troops will be delayed.

By doing so, the villagers, who assumed that the troops had withdrawn unaware of the Kazra, were relieved of their guard, and a person named Kazra, who was evacuating outside the village, should also return to the village.

In case Colts told anyone in the village about yesterday's interaction with Isaac, he dared to take such a cumbersome means because he threatened to keep his troops near the village so badly that Kazla would never come back to the village again, but apparently it worked.

During the day, Colts may not have told anyone in the village about yesterday's incident with Isaac, as he had received reports that nothing had changed in particular when he had his men scout the village.

As I waited for a while, I heard a talk from the water truck.

Apparently, the two men who were coming this way have arrived at the water truck.

"Let's go. Never kill in case you disobey. He needs to be interrogated alive."

Isaac stepped out of the rock shadow when he spoke to two of his men like that.
