Chapter 160 – Unsettling News from Kaza

“Ara, Yofel-san. Are you able to speak Japanese now?” (Aika)

Totoki’s older sister looked surprised as Yofel nodded her head.

“Ah, ju-st a little bit.” (Yofel)

Both Yofel and Ior said they wanted to learn Japanese, so I had been teaching them. The two of them learned extremely fast, and in a short amount of time, they reached the point where they were able to converse in everyday Japanese with no problem.

“Eh? You can speak Japanese, Yofel-san?! P-Please talk to me too!” (Koine)

“Sure, Koine. I am al-so looking f-orward to talking to y-ou too.” (Yofel)

“Wow, amazing! Er, there are some things I want to ask you, is that okay?” (Koine)

“Yes, go ah-ead and ask me anything.” (Yofel)

“Fufu, then I guess I’ll have to join you.” (Aika)

Looks like the start of a girls-only gathering.

Come to think of it, Yofel had never communicated with other humans like this before. Well, she didn’t understand their language before after all. As a result, she looked really happy to be chatting with Totoki and her older sister.

As the chattering continued on endlessly, I sat there and quietly sipped my tea.

I didn’t like people, and I still couldn’t trust them. However, I realized that after being in close contact with them several times, I was no longer as reluctant to see Totoki and her sisters.

Maybe that was because of these guys… Yofel and Ior, who always seemed happy to interact with them. Well, Totoki and her sisters weren’t bad people by any means, but… there was still a part of me that couldn’t quite trust them. This bad habit of always distrusting people might never be cured in the future.

“Ooiii, milord. May I have a word?” (Kaza)

At that moment, Kaza reached out to me via .

He couldn’t hide himself in my shadow like Shiki could, so I had him stand on guard outside the house. If anything happened, he would contact me immediately.

“Did something happen?” I asked back, slightly nervous.

“I was looking around standing on top of a telephone pole, but I spotted a rather troublesome phenomenon.” (Kaza)

“A troublesome phenomenon?” (Bouchi)

Kaza explained that there was a construction site not too far from here, where water was spouting up high into the sky like a fountain.

“Could it be a burst water pipe or something?” (Bouchi)

“The force of the water is a bit unusual. It is most likely…” (Kaza)

“Related to the other world?” (Bouchi)

I narrowed my eyes at Totoki and her sisters.

If this house was affected by it, Mahina would be saddened. It would probably make Ior and Yofel upset as well.

“…Kaza, I grant you permission. Go to the water spout and investigate. Shiki is here, so don’t worry about me.” (Bouchi)

“As you command.” (Kaza)

Shiki and Yofel were here, so there should be no problems on our end.

“Bouchi-kun, what’s wrong?” (Koine)

“Hm? What do you mean, Totoki?” (Bouchi)

“Your face made it look like something was the matter… Is it because… you don’t like being with me…?” (Koine)

It wasn’t because of Totoki, but it certainly was true that I didn’t like being with anyone other than myself for a long period of time.

“That’s not it. It’s just that a bit of work came up.” (Bouchi)

“…Bouchi-kun, you’re really amazing, aren’t you?” (Koine)

“Amazing?” (Koine)

“Yeah… In comparison, I have my hands full just living from day to day.” (Koine)

“I’m helping out with the farm and other chores there.” (Koine)

Apparently, Totoki’s older sister was too. The sisters were receiving food and other necessities in return for their work.

“You’re working a decent job yourself, aren’t you? I’m not the only one who’s amazing.” (Bouchi)

“No, that’s not it. You really are amazing, Bouchi-kun. I would never be able to fight monsters, and I don’t think I would be any good at trading or business.” (Koine)

It seemed like she had lost confidence in herself. Well, she had strong feelings of guilt towards me, so perhaps she was just putting me on a pedestal.

To be frank, I probably was an anomaly in other people’s eyes. Not many people would go out of their way to fight monsters.

Well, there was no need to compare myself to them. What Totoki was doing now was normal and quite admirable in the eyes of the others.
