Ore no Ongaeshi: High Spec Murazukuri

I was surrounded by dozens of villagers.

"Hey, I know you're hiding. Come out."

Speak to them from inside the bungalow building. Strangely enough, they weren't willing to kill.

As a hostile all of a sudden, you can't attack from here. Maybe there's something going on.

See how the opponent leaves without alarm while setting up a weapon of self-defence.

"I'm sorry... I didn't mean to surprise you..."

With the words of their representatives, shadows appear from all around them.

Quite a few but no one is armed.

(children?... the children of the village)

What a bunch of village kids were sieging me.

Age falls apart, from about kindergarten children down there to about elementary school children up there. About half the men and women, but their age is speculative with regard to them who are exotic.

(You're making me a lot thinner (or better yet) when I look at you like this... you're on the verge of malnutrition, these guys are)

I narrow my eyebrows at the child's condition.

Their hands and feet, stretched out of the clothes of the mountain peoples, were surprisingly thin. My skin is also thirsty, which should be moisturizing during the growth phase.

Probably food distress prevented him from eating satisfactorily.

(But... your eyes aren't dead)

Strangely enough, every one of the children has brilliant eyes. He stares uncommonly at me leaving the building.

"What the hell can I do for you?

Alert the surroundings. I ask an earlier leader boy. Only one person in the group would be physically fit, and Koitsu would be the compiler.

"I asked Liesha's sister. He said there was a great man who defeated the Great Rabbit in an instant!

"Yes, he said it was awesome with a short-knife judgment that never stopped in his eyes!

"Even travelers from exotic countries, he said!

The children mouth out as if they had cut the blame. They've been asking about me from the girl Risha.

About the swordsman who helped Risha, who was in danger in the woods. He said he was a wandering warrior dressed strangely but with gentle eyes.

"Hey, what country did your brother come from!?

"It's a rumor coming from the West beyond the Great Mountains!

"Where are you going to travel?!

You've lifted your guard, they flock around me asking questions one after another.

Purely glaring at me and staring straight at me. I would be really purely interested without any hostility there.

(Apparently, there's no hostility. I wonder how hungry you are for entertainment......)

They want to hear.

Every exotic creation and story you can't hear in this closed village. And the previous hero Tan as a brave warrior.

The children's clear eyes recall when they were traveling in this world.

It resembled the inhabitants of a village inhabited by a strange ethnic group in Tibet. To those of the happiest tribes in the world who live in rejection of the internet and culture and do not know to question people.

"Hey, guys, wait! Your brother will be in trouble! Don't forget what we came here for!

"Oh well!

"Hey, guys, let it out"

To the loud voice of the boy in leadership, the children return to me haha.

Several people put their hands in their nostalgia pockets and took them out somewhere. The leader boy gathered it and offered it by hand in front of me.

"We're all here to give this to my brother..."

What the boy had offered me was "nuts."

It is a variety I have never seen but resembles walnuts. It's probably something to eat as food because of its shape.

"In the custom of this village of Uld, we offer gifts to travellers. As a sign of welcome!

Urd is a borderline village in mountainous areas and has been one of few to visit here for a long time.

So give a welcome mark in good faith to travellers who have thus purposefully visited. Give them what they have.

That's how I explain it.

"I guess this is your food, precious?

Just for the record, I'm not very good with kids. Gently ask in full words.

"Yeah...... I can barely eat anything these days. Mostly because the lord took it. We have only a little food from the village coming around for our children..."

"Oh, I guess"

Food distress would be more serious than I thought.

A limited amount of food is turned to those who are preferentially workers. Old people and bodies who can still move feed large children as a priority.

As much as the tears of a sparrow shall be upon those who are otherwise.

(muttering……)

Even in Japan, in poor times, there were areas where the number of children was reduced by "lip service”. By then the food shortage had been so severe that it would have made it a priority in this village as well.

"If you give this to me, you'll lose your share."

"Yeah...... but this is a welcome custom. I want to get along more than anything!

"Friendly...... you say?

The boy answers my question in unexpected terms. I don't know what that means. I overhear it.

"My brother and I... I wanted to get along with your strong, hard brother, like the heroic king who appears in the Urd Founding Fathers!

"Oh, that's sloppy. I want to get along, too!

"Me too!

"Me too..."

The children raise their hands before Us. With more and more crowds around me talking.

That was a strange sight I had never seen.

The children were all hungry for food.

I guess I haven't had a decent meal in the last few days. His hands and legs look crippled now.

(but shining... blindly...)

Still, everyone's eyes were shining. sparkling even in this abyss of despair.

They should be running out of food, suffering from hunger, taking away their real parents and having a lonely day.

But still... it was a purely living expression of faith in hope.

"Oh...... fine. of my country... I will travel with my hometown to talk to you..."

I decided to talk quietly about the children in the flock.

Live in the green countryside, where I was born.

◇

Winters are tough and snowy enough to be bitter to walk outside.

But in the spring beautiful cherry blossoms bloom, giving hope to the hearts of the people. Usually we all prepare for summer festivals, even though we work hard in farming.

After enjoying the short summer festival from the depths of my heart, it's finally busy. Everyone works busily for rice cutting and fruit harvesting. Adults as well as children are mobilized for harvest work.

Finish the harvest festival and prepare for a tough winter. Living unchanged every year without any change of philosophy.

But the scenic landscapes and seasons give people hope.

"Flowers of hope always bloom after a tough season"

Talk to your child about the natural thoughts that are so natural and important.

"It's time to get dark. Go home with care."

My story's over. The kids go back to their homes. My parents have been taken away, and now I'm in a lonely house with only old people and children.

"Well, shall we have dinner..."

Soon it was dusk time for dinner.

In such settlements, where fuel is precious, it is normal to eat before the sun sets and sleep when dark.

I'm an outdoor hobbyist, but when I'm out in the open, I get up early.

"Rice..."

I was the one who transferred to a strange different world, but so far I have secured food.

Emergency food stockpiles are also sufficient for large backpacks for climbing. The raw meat, which had been dismantled by draining blood from the Great Rabbit (Vic Rabbit) hunted in the woods, was also preserved in this room.

Other than that, there are mountain vegetables, mushrooms, and vanilla collected for trial in the woods.

There is a good amount of meat, especially raw meat, which needs to be eaten as a top priority.

I also have my own cookware, so it would be nice to bake and eat.

"Nuts..."

But I look away at the slightest nut in my hand.

It is a fruit similar to walnuts, which I received earlier from the children of the village. A dear gift they gave us until they reduced their share.

"On this bunk... this food..."

That's right. I'm determined.

Eat the fruit in your mouth that you had in your hand.

Eat slowly and slowly. Remembering the brilliant smiles of the children earlier.

"It doesn't add up to my stomach at all, it looks like this..."

In a short time, the nuts will never end.

Even if you pour it into your stomach with the liquid, you won't get the fullness. And this is the current state of the main meals in this village today.

"Well, suppose I go to sleep. I'm going to be" busy "tomorrow morning..."

I'll lie down after dinner.

I don't get any hands on extraordinary meals or meat from the Great Rabbit, I just fool around hunger with a meal that doesn't add anything.

"Now you owe me a meal..."

Crush your own home training. words of absolute teaching taught by parents from a young age.

"Totally sweet of me too..."

At the end of the day, I'm in deep sleep.
