"Hmmm...<>, huh...that could be a possibility. There might be that possibility... I heard that there was a person from another world about 200 years ago after all. ...... Oh, eat your porridge, it's getting cold!"
Adriana was making porridge for Shuki.
"But it's just leftovers heated up with some soup.
Shuki wanted to say that it was more like rice porridge, but he felt bad to complain after she had made it for him, so he swallowed the words together with the porridge.
"...... hmm?"
"What's wrong? Was it bad?
"No, it tastes like this. ...... Oh, I see."
I felt that it was not enough, but I realized that it was because had not been taken out of the soup.
However, Shuki was not mature enough to complain about something that Adriana, who had saved him, had gone out of her way to make for him.
Thank you for the food.
"Thank you for the food."
Adriana did not seem to find it strange that Shuki said .
"Would you like some tea?"
She did not hesitate to offer us some tea after the meal.
He made two cups of tea, which Adriana seemed to share.
"...... So, as I was saying, there have been two or three people from other worlds in the past. The most recent was about 200 years ago."
"Hmm. So, what happened to them?"
"This world is called ......<>, and they brought various benefits to the world of Ars.
Shuki was surprised to hear that. He wondered what a person like himself could do in this world with the mystical power of magic.
"I heard that someone taught me how to make <>. The rice you just ate is that rice. It can only be grown much further south, but they say it yields much more than the wheat they used to grow."
Ah, so that's how they contribute, Shuki thought to himself.
< must have been conveyed to him at that time.
Then Shuki thought further.
The existence of magic means that the possibilities of other studies are being eliminated. But...
"It would be interesting to fuse magic and science.
The words came out of her mouth, but Adriana was more receptive than she had expected.
"That sounds interesting!
Adriana said.
"Hey, Shuki. What are you going to do now?
"What are you going to do?" "I don't know... ......
There's nothing I can do. I couldn't even decide if I could survive being thrown out into another world by myself.
"I'm sorry. You want to go back to ...... home, don't you?"
"Yes,...... that's, well..."
To be honest, I want to go home. I wanted to see my parents, my sister, my sister and my friends again.
"At the moment, we don't have any magic or magical tools to travel to and from other worlds."
Adriana looks really sorry. Shuki asks her one more question.
"What kind of magic tools?"
"Well, ah, ....... A tool that is powered by magic, I guess you could say. ....... It's useful because you don't have to use magic every time you use it.
"I see. So I can't go back home for now, is that it?
"Yes. I'm really sorry ......."
But Shuki spoke kindly to Adriana.
"Adriana, you don't need to apologize. You should be thankful that you came to this world and survived, even though you would have lost your life.
"...... Shuki, you are so kind."
Adriana's eyes were a little moist, which made Shuki feel a little nervous.
Adriana is a beautiful woman. More so than any other woman Shuki had ever met.
She has blonde hair and green eyes, but there is something nostalgic about her face. In short, she has an oriental look to her.
It may be that they are biologically the same, but racially they are not exactly the same as the people of the earth.
He realized that it was a very impolite and impudent request to leave a woman who seemed to live alone in a house.
"Sure."
But Adriana readily agreed.
"What?"
"Shuki seems to know a lot of things I don't know, so you will help me with my research, right?
Adriana laughed and said, "In return, I'm sure I'll invent a magic that will cross the world.
Adriana laughed, "I'm sure I will create a world-spanning magic in return.
"Well then, Shuki, you can use this room."
It seems that the bed Shuki has been using has been Adriana's. The two are now cleaning the room across the hall from each other.
They are now cleaning the room across the hall.
It's hard work because of all the dust.
"Adriana, don't you have any magic spells for this kind of situation?"
Shuki, covering her nose and mouth with a cloth, asks as she sweeps under the old bed.
"Well, there is ......<>, but it simply removes dirt. You see, that's how I got the mud and blood off your clothes."
In short, there seems to be no magic specifically for cleaning. It is more inconvenient than you think.
"......No, I mean, is there any magic ...... that can do the job for you?"
"...... what?"
Shuki had seen a scene in a comic book owned by his landlord's child in which a wizard was cleaning his room with a << broom that moves by itself>.
But Adriana had imagined something else.
"......<>...... no, that's still not enough...... then... ..."
She stopped her hand and started mumbling, as if something had just hit her.
Shuki looked at her with a wry smile and went about cleaning his room.
"......Sorry, Shuki. I made you do all the cleaning."
Adriana was lost in her thoughts until Shuki had finished cleaning the room.
"It's okay. I'm the one who will take care of you.
"That said... ......"
Adriana looked worried.
"By the way, Shuki, do you always talk like that?"
"Yes?"
"I'm a bit ...... messy, so I call you from the beginning, but you call me , don't you?"
"Yes, well..."
"I don't like it."
"I don't care if you call me that. ......"
Shuki thinks that Adriana's decision to let a stranger live in her house is more unusual.
She only thinks it, but she doesn't say it.
"I am the youngest of seven siblings, and the first six are all my brothers. That's why I have this personality. So I'd be happy if Shuki could be a little more open-minded."
"Haa......"
Shuki is still too cautious, though.
I'm the middle of five siblings, with two older sisters and two younger sisters, so I talk like this.
"Well, let's start by calling me by my first name.
