Chapter 12 – Two troubled persons
Translator: “Drey”
「……!?…..!?」
I’m worried about Ayla who looks alternately between the falling wyvern and me while raising a voice soundlessly.
After all, I was sent to this world by a clumsy Angel. I’m afraid to cause any trouble so let’s try to blend in.
For now, let’s try to mislead her properly.
「Tha, that!? What was that!?」
「Yeah, It was surprising, isn’t it. I wonder what was that?」
「You’re not surprised at all!」
「Ah, that’s right. There’s also a heated swimming pool over there, you know.」
「He, hey, Taiki-sama!?」
I turned around and showed her the magnificent view within the island, while misleading her skillfully in such rhythm.
Lastly, we sat by the table at the window in the fourth floor and watch the sunset leisurely.
Ayla, who is illuminated by the setting sun looks so beautiful, so I almost said 「Just stay here with me」 reflexively.
However, Ayla is a girl raised in a village. I guess her parents are also worried. I could not understand well that scene from the Tuesday Suspense earlier, but she might have been taken unreasonably by the knights. Those guys are a disgrace to the knights.
However, she’s my conversation partner for the first time in a long time. It’s inexcusable, but I wonder if it’s okay to stay the way as it is until she decides to leave on her own accord?
It’s lonely if she were to leave.
However, it’s hard to explain to Ayla that I am not really a magician. Although I’m feeling guilty, it’s just difficult to explain.
Well now, I’m in trouble.
***
【Ayla’s POV】
Taiki-sama who is able to defeat a large wyvern without moving a finger must be similar to a legendary great magician after all.
If he seriously put in his effort, he may even be able to destroy a country by himself.
However, the person himself has a very natural attitude, if anything, he’s calmer and gentler than anyone I met.
「Meat or fish and vegetables or fruits will work out somehow in this island. Plus water and also seasonings like salt, sugar and other spices. But there’s no milk.」
「Do you mean there is no cow’s milk, Taiki-sama?」
「It will do with soy milk, though. That’s why, I’m cooking using soy milk instead of cow’s milk.」
「Oh, I didn’t know that」
「However, I can’t make dairy products without cow’s milk. And I can’t also take nourishment from the very important lactic-acid bacteria.」
「Lactic-acid bacteria?」
「Yeah, it’s necessarily contained in dairy products such as cheese or yoghurt, you know. Lactic-acid bacteria is not only putting the condition of the body in order but also has an effect on relieving of stress.」
「I, I don’t understand well, but I understood that it is a very good thing.」
Maybe because he was satisfied with my reply, Taiki-sama laughed while nodding several times.
「However, Taiki-sama can do anything, right? So how about raising a cow in the island?」
「……I have never looked after a cow. And I’m also unfamiliar with the milking process.」
I reflexively burst into laughter upon hearing his words. In response, he looked at me and frown.
「I, I’m sorry.」
I apologize while laughing, but Taiki-sama pouts his mouth as if sulking.
「Everyone has a first time and there’s also plenty of things I can’t do, you know?」
「You’re right. Fu, fufufu」
Right, Taiki-sama was also exactly a human. I thought such things while enduring my laughter, I became a little relieved.
I also have never done something like taking care of a cow, but I think it will be far easier than creating golems and a floating island on top of that.
「By the way, what are you good at, Ayla?」
「Dan…. Ah, no, um, umm……」
I almost answered ‘dance’ on impulse and hurriedly glossed it over. Come to think of it, what I was doing since I was a child is just different to normal village girls.
What should I do.
I can neither cook nor clean. If I’m a regular village girl, I think I should be able to do at least some housework.
Then, what can I do?
When I’m being troubled, Taiki-sama laughed in resignation.
「You don’t have to think about it so seriously, you know. Ah, in that case, do you want to try learning how to cook? I can teach you if it’s a simple meal?」
「Ah, ple, please.」
When I answered while a bit depressed, Taiki-sama faced looked at me with a gentle smile.
「Everyone can’t do it at first. So it’s fine if you learn slowly. Once you have been doing it for a year, you can do it better than me.」
「……Thank you」
Taiki-sama is kind.
Perhaps, he’s thinking that there is no doubt about me being a village girl. Maybe because he is living his life like this, he probably hasn’t doubted me because he is a little naive.
I don’t want to deceive Taiki-sama. Besides, I feel like Taiki-sama would spare me if I speak honestly.
However, in case if it was actually no good, I guess I can’t stay here anymore.
No, even now I don’t know how long Taiki-sama will allow me to stay here.
I’m a village girl who was saved on a whim by Taiki-sama. In any case, if I was honest and it backfired, I may be sent back to the surface.
If I keep silent just like this, I might be able to stay here…… such, a very selfish idea make me seal my mouth.
While both people are troubled, the Heavenly Castle calmly crosses over the mountain. Looming way ahead, lies a large country, the Blau Empire. The ruler is continually expanding its power in order to rule the world.
