1 – 6 The Story Begins

―1―

“So that makes you Stormy.”

“Mufu-, w-was I mistaken?”

W-wait a minute, that “mufu-” bit from before was displayed at the start on almost all of this girl’s subt.i.tles. However, I didn’t get the feeling that she was actually saying “mufu-.” What could it be translating? Ah, if only I could understand her language.

“S-sure. If it’s something I can answer……?”

Then, first up is……,

“T-the world? Is that…… something to do with religion?”

“Mufu-, I see. I have somehow or other understood the meaning of what you want to ask. This is an island country known as the Great Forest of Nahan. Where we are right now is one of the eight Great Labyrinths the Labyrinth King made, the World Tree. There are sixteen clans in the Great Forest of Nahan and sixteen villages, the closest one from here being the village of Swilow. If you wish to obtain a cla.s.s, it would be fine if you went to a village with the distance of about two days northeast from here, Fuurou. If I’m not mistaken, what you want to know is this sort of stuff?.”

“Ah, I almost forgot, if I say the village Swilow, since my name is Swilow, there is a large number of people who misunderstand, but there is also a particularly large number of people from the continent, but all the treefolk born in the village of Swilow are given the name Swilow. So, it means that I was born in Swilow. The village of Swilow has an adventurer’s guild and such, and it’s not an exaggeration to call it the fastest developing in the great forest of Nahan. Really, it’s the to the extent that calling it a town would be better.”

“Mufu-, that’s right. Does Stormy have a cla.s.s? A cla.s.s is something close to an occupation, but isn’t used for finding employment. It’s something that helps gain skills and status correction. By the way, I have the cla.s.s [Hunter]. [Hunter] is a derivative of the [Archer] cla.s.s. It has a lot of skills useful to an adventurer, so not just as a main, the number of adventurers taking it as a subcla.s.s is large. The [Archer] cla.s.s itself can be obtained at the village of Fuurou that I mentioned just before. Do you understand with this explanation?”

“The stuff you wanted to ask was about this much, right? Really, information has a large value, so I don’t often share it, but I’ll share it since you saved my life. When at the village, if you ask about this and that, your credibility will start to fall.”

“Mufu-, at the point that I had talked about what is performed at the village I want you to understand, but……, well, to answer, probably, I think it’ll be fine. In regards to that, we’ll know if we go.”

“Really, you like to ask a lot. Well, to answer your question, it’s this.”

―― [Create Food] ――

A blackish ma.s.s is born in Syrone-san’s right hand. Is that Caloriemate!?

“The other is this.”

―― [Summon Aqua] ――

This time an orb of water floated above the palm of her left hand.

“Wood magic, Create Food. It has that sort of appearance, lacking the color of food—but by eating it, you can obtain a certain amount of nutrition. Well, it’s very, very unpleasant, so I really did not want to eat it for as long as possible. Afterwards, I can retain moisture by water magic’s Summon Aqua, but whether it’s because this magic’s water is made of magic, it doesn’t fend against dehydration as well as real water, so you’ll die eventually. Also the magic, Clean.”
I see, so there’s such a magic. And the magic, Clean, is probably that. Rather, magic is all-purpose.

“Fuu. At this rate exploration seems impossible, so I think I’ll return to my village temporarily, but if you’d like, will you come together?”

Nn?

“Of course.”

“Mufu-, as expected of an esteemed Stellar Beast of the World Tree.”

“I wish to return to the village quickly, so if there’s no danger to my life, anything-”

I spit out a thread, grabbed Syrone and put her on my back, and tied her so she wouldn’t fall off. I then continued to throw out a thread and move at high speed. I heard a scream like, “gyoe-,” that was unbecoming of a lady, but I put it out of my mind.

“Wa, d, d, don’t tell me, from here?”
I won’t let her finish speaking. I jumped down from the leaf.

Goodbye, my home.

I can see some subt.i.tles like, “I’ll die, I’ll die,” but I don’t worry about it. Probably, the subt.i.tles picked up the sound of the wind as a voice. Sometimes, I fire a thread at the trunk and apply deceleration. Whenever I apply deceleration, I get the feeling I see the words, “Mugyuu,” or, “My intestines are going to come out.”

Due to my efforts, we touch down on the ground in an instant. My first time on land.

“I, I thought I wahs going to die, ha, hahiu.”

“W, wait, a bit. I’ll adjust my breathing, u, uu, this is horrible.”

Now, human civilization…… . How should I say it, it’s a scene where phrases like “The real fight is from here on,” or, “My story has just started,” pop up.

Well, this other world’s? Real stage……, really starts from here.
