For now, Please help me.

I got up.
My body hurts so much. I feel that my feet are soaked in lactic acid rather than muscle pain.
Still, I got up. There’s no point in complaining like a spoiled child.
It’s almost daytime. I can spot a sun, but in this world is it also called sun? But if I eat konjaku from a certain cat robot it’s probably OK to say it sun. (TL : Doraemon, and the MC refer to Konjaku translator)
That fantastic forest is no longer visible even when I looked back.
Slime aside, bears may come out again, so I have to go carefully.
At the same time, I kept searching for the fruits/nuts. As I thought, I’m starting to get hungry.
Luckily I found some raspberry like fruits earlier. Sucking it in my mouth for a while to feel the taste. (TL : the original say it nuts. But I think raspberry is some fruit… so I don’t know which one to used.)
It’s kinda sweet yet sour. Although the sourness overwhelm it, honestly it’s not delicious, but it seems it can be eaten because there is no numbness in my tongue.
Just to be sure, I took a small quantity as I proceed while consuming it slowly.
Suddenly, the difficulty level is rising.
[Wahh, again…?]
Let’s recall where’s the slime area first. This place is different, there are insects here. Because there are spiders web all over the place, but there’s no a fraction of discomfort.
The slope starts to get steeper, it’s feels like I was descending properly.
If I turn my awareness towards the spider’s web, my feet may slip and it will be dangerous.
Swinging out the wooden stick to get rid of the web, and proceed. Naturally, it’s speed up my fatigue.
It hurts every time the tree branches scrapped against me.
It’s thanks to the long sleeves. If it was a short sleeve for summer, it would be disastrous.
It would be like going off from the road and went to mountain-climbing. I’m the person that grateful to the road, you know.
If this mountain can be conquered, then conquering the Fuji Mountain wouldn’t be impossible. If you have the strength, that is.
To be honest, the Slime area was several times better. Feels like want to go there someday. But I won’t do that ‘cause I scared of the Slime.
While lost in thought, I heard a new sounds.
[Hm ……, this sound is]
Yep, this is the sound that I was waiting for.
I hurriedly went towards the direction of the sound.
And then, the river came into view.
It’s a clear narrow river .
I ran towards the river with indescribable feeling and scoop up the water.
I want to drink it so badly, but I refrained myself to do so. If the upstream point was spring water, then this point will be very worrying in various ways.
I washed my face and my hair from the spider’s web.
The feeling of discomfort disappeared at once, and the feeling of freshness come to me.
Because of that, I took a rest on the river for a while.
After that, while walking around the river while thinking that I couldn’t get a fish, I found a shocking object.
It’s a piece of rope.
[O- Uooh]
Absolutely word of admiration sensei also come out. And I can’t dispelled the feeling from before when get thrown into this different world that this place is that humans might not exist.
Contrary on my thoughts. This is the proof of the human civilization!
It means that this is the evidence that people have passed through here, maybe there is a mountain trail? And then I take a walk around the surroundings.
And then there it is. It’s not a trail, but the intentionally broken branches and shades!
It’s probably could be broken by some animal, but I also found something cut with some kind of knife. This is raising the tension!
I feel my mouth burning, even so I reluctantly proceeded.
After a while, I enter a zone where rocky area can be seen. And… found a cave.
There is a pair of pedestals with torches next to the entrance, and also the evidence of recent use.
This is that right! The first village encounter!
[.…….No, wait a minute.]
Let’s think about the race that lives in such a place.
If there are slime around here. Then, there’s a possibility of goblins, but hypothetically if it’s humans, it must be something like bandits, right?
Pattern 1 : Goblin.
[Human, eat. Eat Human, become strong.]
[Gyaaaa—]
Pattern 2 : Bandit.
[Ohh, you wearing unusual clothes eh. Give them all.]
[Gyaaaa—]
Pattern 3 : Hermit.
[Shugyo.] (TL : this line the hermit ask the MC to train with him but in train like meditation or something to reach an enlightenment. I don’t know how to interpret it into english. My vocab is so limited.)
[Gyaaaa—]
This can’t do, I need to confirm it. That’s why I need to find some place to hide and watch this entrance.
Let’s level the ground in affordable place we secured and lay down.
Let’s wait here for a while.
After waiting for an hour. Sleeping? No, I’m not! I’m still conscious! I’m not sleeping!
I heard something like speaking voice, so I crawled in the grass near the entrance cave.
There are a pair of human being there, they are looking pretty rough and muscular.
I endure the joy of finally meeting people. That’s because that guys looks like THE Bandit, right? Because their swords brandished on their hips.
But we couldn’t judge people by their appearance. Maybe they are good guy, and you don’t know maybe in the future we will having relationship that we can call Brother each other.
Ah~ it’s impossible. Looks like he was holding a seemingly severed arm, as he hysterically laughs. Yep, Barbarian.
And I have no idea what they’re talking about.
It’s not like their dialect is hard to understand, but the language is different.
At least I’m sure that was not a popular language, and they won’t speak Japanese too, right.
A foreigner that don’t understand the language in front of barbarian. There’s no other option except get attacked.
Honestly, I don’t want to keep watching it, but I watch a little more. The arm that has been severed is wearing something like a jewel that attached to something like metal chain.
This is just a guess, but it’s hard to get rid of the accessories attached to the arm from a merchant or a wealthy person, so it’s better just took the whole arm.
It seems like, I once heard a story from some country that cutting the whole arm to steal the watch. (TL : Yeah in my country it’s often happened, and we call it BEGAL. XD)
Because they may notice me if look too much, so let’s wait for them to get in the cave and leave this place.
After a while, the bandits entered the cave.
However, if this is the road where did that guys came from, it must be leading out to a certain place, right?
It’s scary because there is a possibility that I will encounter their friends, what should I do?
For the time being, the road that was used by the people inside the cave was found.
Honestly, I think it’s stupid to go if judging by the danger, but I decided to proceed while hiding.
Even though there is a comfort road lay ahead, I hold down that feeling.
If will encounter a bandit mountain like that, I won’t hesitate to choose the hard way.
Yep, that’s correct.
I proceed while hiding and passing by the bandits.
I think they at least about ten people.
When I saw that, I put my hand on my brow that was in a cold sweat
But thanks to that I never lost my way. I really appreciate this.
And, I finally get down from the mountain!
[Well, still in the woods tho]
But I found a road. It’s not a paved road, but it’s a road where it seems that a two-wheeled carriage has passed many times. After this, if continue follow this road, it will surely reach the place where all the people live. I’m so happy that I don’t even care about my hunger.
I can’t describe this feeling.
I was attacked by a bear—though that bear get devoured. Attacked by a slime, and then struggling on a steep mountain road and keeps going down.
Uu, I was so moved my tears spilled. Let’s do graffiti on the neighboring tree with the stone that I picked up to commemorate this feeling.
『My Wild Life Period』
I gave up using Kanji.
Alright, let’s decide where to go with my sworn friend the The Sword of web destroyer <The Branch>. Alright, which way will it fall.
[.……It’s gonna fall!]
My sworn friend that stood upright finally fell, and it’s pointing forward.
At the cave entrance.
[Iyaa~, this time isn’t it a good plunder too, right!]
[Yup, look this arm accessories. I cut the whole arm because I got a hard time to take it off.]
[It will dirty the other treasure with that blood]
[But if we wash it in the river it will fall, right. Ah, where’s the rope?]
On the way.
[Wait, there’s something moving before]
[Isn’t it an animal? If it’s a bear, it’s better if we return now]
[At least use magic detection, let’s use this “magic stone”]
[Okay okay]
[…Nothing caught in magic detection. It must be animal.]
[I said it before, right?]
[I thought I will return to ajito first]
[Ue~…]
[Finally… Finally……!]
Yeah, I finally found it.
In front of my eyes looking from right to left is a wall.
Ahead of the road is the big castle gate.
Behind it, you can see the fantasy-like design, clad in a white and bluish green castle town.
It’s a fairly large castle that seems to have a reasonable scale judging by it’s visibility from the distance,
I swallowed my joy and approached the castle gate.
[O~i! help me~!]
And at that time I remember. That my words can’t be understood.
[Oh, Yeah. I mean, excuse me.]
In front of me, the guards yelled, pointing their spears at me , they yelled something and then I was arrested.
Well, you can arrest illegal intruders who don’t understand what you say. What a firmly good civilization.
And then I was taken to a cabin next to the castle and thrown into a jail house inside.
Oh, but there is a mat. I’m gonna take a sleep.
Because of the fatigue, I even took a nap in the forest before. For the time being, let’s sleep.
There’s nothing worse than get attacked by bandits, right? It’s not a flag, okay.
[Good night, yeah~]
Suddenly, they woke me up after a few minutes
At the castle gate.
[Oi, Stop. That appearance of yours is unusual.]
「―――！ ――――！」
[What the hell are you saying?]
[The black hair with foreign language…… Oi, perhaps that’s the demon language, maybe he’s a demon.]
[Wha-!? Oi, Don’t move! Don’t try anything suspicious!]
「―、――、―――――――、――」
[Senpai, what we should do about him?]
[For now, let’s get him into the jail in the barracks. Then we leave this to Illiyas-san]
Illiyas Ratzel was troubled.
A few days ago she was called by her superior Lord Ragdo, and given the charge to exterminate the bandits.
She respects Lord Ragdo, who appreciate her ability without being compared as a woman, and she knew that the Lord has quite the expectation for her.
However, she heard the rumor about this bandits extermination. Several knights had already taken the mission, but they haven’t made any achievement.
It’s not like they are incompetent. When hearing the fact report itself as much as possible, Illiyas herself will use such a way.
However, the bandits surpassed that.
Appeared in every place, and then vanished in the forests and mountains.
Never attacking the high-powered knights, they continue to attack the powerless people.
Illiyas was also in charge of escorting the other day, but after they passed, the merchant that followed after was attacked and killed.
They chopped off his arm in order to get his valuables, leaving him alone dying from blood loss. It’s unthinkable how painful and terrifying that would feel
[But I need to fulfill the expectation of Lord Ragdo……]
All the plans are already used. She doesn’t know if she can do it by herself.
If to kill all the bandits alone she have the confidence to do it. It’s not a pride, but a fact.
Her father, who was a knight, was killed in the battle with the demons. At that time, her mother who was a priest was together with him.
She was depressed at that time, but eventually she got over it. Inspired by the gallant figures of the knight, Illiyas chose the way to become a knight.
After many training and disciplines, her ability was recognized and it was decided that she will be incorporated into Lord Ragdo unit.
Without using the handicap for a woman and just using her ability, she shown the abundance of power. (TL : IDK this line… 女である立場的なハンデを全て実力だけで埋め、有り余る力を示してきた。forgive me)
But that is the talk about the swords arm.
If she can’t get the result, her standing will get more worsened.
However, only a few people acknowledged her.
The jealousy of a man being triumph over by an overwhelming strength of the girl had crushed their honor and pride as a man.
What she want is to live as a knight, not an assessment as a knight.
However, there is something that still same.
The anger towards the bandits, the pressure on knighthood, various emotion mixed up and make her can not calm. ( TL : IDK if this grammar correct… I fucked up.)
[There’s not enough of training, huh……]
She continued to patrol while laughing at the fluctuation in her heart.
Then a report came in.
[Illiyas-san. The castle gate keeper want you to come to the barracks. It’s seems that they caught a demon]
[Wha-!?]
Suddenly she raised her voice because of the additional problem.
She hurriedly went to the barracks that used by the gatekeeper.
The barracks was located on the side of the gate. It’s a simple building, but there is also a jail inside, there are many trouble maker travelers who had taken care of when the problem occurs at the gate.
[So, it’s him?]
There was a dark haired young man inside.
He slept peacefully inside the cell.
Black hair is rarely seen in this area. And it was a color that often seen in humanoid demons.
She was vigilant for a moment, but she understood immediately when she look at him and finally calm. Because she doesn’t feel any threat from this young man.
She performed magic detection just to make sure, but the inherent magic is so slight. This is the first time she met a people like that because it’s very few. His clothes were a little dirty, but if look closely, they are elaborate and the shoes are made of materials that never seen before.
According to the gate keeper, it seems that he was talking in a strange language……
She gripped her sword, as she opened the door
[Oi, Wake up]
There’s no reply. He was sleeping with a good sleeping face.
[O—i]
Shaking his shoulder. The young man didn’t budge, wearing his peaceful-sleeping face
[Wake up—]
She hit him on the cheek. There was a slight reaction but he was still asleep, nonetheless
[Wake up!]
Using her strength, she hit him with enough force. Oh, it seems he’s awake.
However, the young man only took a glimpse at her and went back to sleep again.
[…….]
He finally woke up with a large thud from the handle of the sword

Hope you enjoy it…
