CHAPTER - 7

What's so amazing? By the way, are these people speaking HINDI? If it's not HINDI then this is strange. Though it wouldn't be possible for me to communicate, for some reason I can comprehend everything perfectly.

When I asked SOMA about the HINDI language then he looked at me with confusing face.

I am sure that these people donot know any language named HINDI but for some reason I can communicate with them despite the fact that I don't know any language except HINDI or ENGLISH.

Come to think of it I was able to communicate with that purple haired chick in the cage. Well anyways, it would be lot of trouble if I don't understand the language here.

We headed towards the village chief's house.

[A hot bath is being prepared for you] SOMA

[sorry for the trouble.] ME

SOMA spoke to a person of the house and led me inside. Looks like his house is bigger than other houses in the village. Well that's to be expected as he is the village chief and all. It had the rustic appearance of earthy walls. It doesn't seem like the civilization level is very high. It seems to be something like a town from the middle ages.

I was guided to a small room just beside that.

[Please, take a rest for a while in this room as maid make arrangements for your bath.] SOMA

[Allow me to do that] ME

[Well then, please excuse me.]SOME

[HASH…..]

[Excuse me]

When I was thinking , the village chief has entered

Then SOMA asked maid to guide me to the bathroom.

[ your clothes got dirty, we have to wash them] MAID

[Please do] ME

[ And about change of clothes, don't worry about that. I have another pair of clothes.] ME

The old lady fold up the clothes and put them on the plank. After finishing, she went out with the village chief.

I, who was alone, take off my clothes and wipe my body with the towel. The clothes had blood stains on several places and it was really dirty.

There is no sign that it's going to disappear, no matter how much time passed

I let out a great breath.

Yes. I have to accept this.

I noticed. I was only escaping from reality.

From what reality was I escaping from Homicide.

I've committed murder. I killed many persons. Though they might be guards and thieves but the fact that I killed them doesnot change. For the first time in my life I look another person's life.

The opponent was a thief.

I don't need to be depressed or worried. If i didn't do it, they would have done something to me. It's necessary that I have to accept this reality.

I breathe deeply one more time and prepare myself.

This is reality. And, this is the world I'm going to live in from now on, To live, it's necessary to dirty my own hands. I don't need to fear that. I must do whatever is necessary.

After collecting my thoughts while bathing, I took out my bag from the storage and got changed. God was also telling me to accept this reality. Anyways...

[excuse me]

The village chief came again.

[Yaa…please come in.] ME

[we already collected the equipment, please examine them.] SOMA

I slaughtered the thieves easily, so they are cautious of me. It wouldn't be good if my sword turns against them. But it's also not possible for them to ignore the person who saved the village.

They are really scared of me….

「Understood」

Though I say that, I didn't understand anything. Examine what? It's fine to make the equipment mine?

Because I defeated the thieves, their equipment is going to be mine. If there is someone strong, and the villagers are weak, the strong one can act as he pleases through violence.

[This way]

[Is it okay for me to take the equipment?] ME

I asked the village chief while we walk.

[Yes. It's you who defeated the thieves, naturally the equipment belongs to you] SOMA

[Okay then, no objection here.] ME

It seems that the equipment is going to be mine. It's fine. I can take those equipments and sell them in another city for money. It's not my loss from any point of view.

[Thank you very much. Let me give you thanks on behalf of the village.]

[ That reminds me, how did I get here? If I remember correctly then I was in the forest when I lost my concisiousness. When I came to then I was in a house.] ME

[ Aahh…..yes, a girl found you lying on the ground and they got scared so they brought you back and treated you. If you ask me then it was pretty lucky of her and for us that she found you. She is a fire mage and a talented one at that. She goes to the mountain to train herself.]SOMA

[ Yes, I remember a fire attack during the fight but in the midst of confusion I did not see the user. If it's not much, I would like to meet her. ] ME

[Ofcource…. No problem. But do you want to meet her?] SOMA

He looks at me like I am some shady guy.

[ I would like for her to teach me magic!!!] ME

[OKAY, I will call her afterwards.] SOMA

The place I was guided to was a corner at the edge of the village, they placed the equipment there. A man was standing there.

Maybe he is the merchant I saw this morning.

[His name is sho, the only merchant in the village] SOMA

[I am SHO. This time you have saved the village and everyone, i cannot express how grateful i am.]

[I am kishna. ]

I'm glad they are thanking me, but I don't like to hear that from people I just met.

「Understood. Here are the equipments of the thieves」

I examine the equipment.

It seems that everything is fine.

I gave my opinion after looking at every weapon. But again I don't know much about it. I pretend to examine it and then just simply keep it. But wait a minute.

[Sho was it? You are a merchant, right? Why don't you buy these equipments from me?] ME

[Sorry, but I can not buy however I can sell the equipments in the next city south from here and give you the money.] SHO

[oooo…..then it will be a great help.] ME

[However it will take some time to return and also I will be taking my comission too.] SHO

[Sho….what are you saying. Taking commission fro the person who saved our village is just outrageous. Think before you speak, you fool.] SOMA

SOMA was furious at SHO. But…

[It's no problem. My saving the village, think of it as returning favour for you taking care of me when I was unconsicious and providing me food and place to stay. ] ME

Aah I said it….I wanted to return the favour and I just did.

[You are truly kind.] SOMA

[I'll say, nowdays you don't see many people who prefer returning favour over profit.] SHO

SHO and SOMA, both were impressed by the way of my thinking. Well they are still thinking too highly of me or they are simply being scared of me. I don't know for sure.

[So, how much % will be your comission and how long will it take for you to return?] ME

[My comission will not me more than or less than 10% and it will take 2-3 days to return.] SHO

What's with the way of saying?

[I am fine with it. ] ME

[Well then, I will be on my way. See you in 2 days.] SHO

After that SHO disappeared quickly. I wonder if his merchant instinct got kicked in.

[ Now then this is settled, shall we go to my home. It's late.] SOMA

[okay.] ME

After the discussion with SHO, I went to SOMA's home and rested for a while. It was not long before dinner was ready.

[Shall we have a meal? Today my wife made cream stew] SOMA

[yaa sure, I am really hungry.] ME

A basket of soft white bread was also placed on the dining table, followed by salads for everyone.

We started eating dinner. I wanted to know about this world and I was waiting for my chance to ask .

[I came from far west so I don't know much about this place. Can you please tell me about the nearby villages and countries?] ME

When I asked then about nearby places, they looked at me like they have seen some ghost who doesn't know how to scare people. Most probably the ghost from Bhoothnath film.

[Let's see, from where to start? Around 200 years ago the terror of demon kingdom was spreading at high pace. There was destruction everywhere. However one day ITALICA empire summoned a group of heroes to end the terror of demon king. Legend has it that group of heroes consist of 3 people and 1 animal. It was not long before the news of demon king's defeat resounded through the world. After that every person in hero's group went their separate path. No one knows what happen to them afterwards. They might have been dead after all these years. After the demon king was defeated, the power struggle started between the nations and it continues till today. Many countries have fallen and risen in these past 200 years.

Our village was once part of MALA kingdom. But now they are facing huge crises so they abounded our village along with other villages. Well this is also true for many other countries. As a result abandoned villages like ours becomes easy target for bandits and criminal group. As they also want to increase their power by absorbing us under their flag. We would be happy to live under a flag but the thing is we of the abandoned villages are treated as prisoners of war. So we have no choice but to fight. We hope someday our situation improves and I am sure it will improves because GOD is watching over us and he will definitely send someone to help us.

As for the countries, there is a nice country but relatively small country to the south of here. The BELFEST KINGDOM. It is located in the mountainous region. As it is a small kingdom it is continuously attacked by neighboring countries. But it managed to survive thanks to it's second princess. She is referred as GODESS of war. Her beauty and her strength are truly the sight to be hold. It will take you 5 days on foot to reach it's border. I'd say it's a nice kingdom to live.] SOMA

Hmm….looks like I have to start my journey from there. Well anyways lets eat.

Before eating I took a small piece of everything and put it on the ground. It's a costom in my religion. Soma and his wife who saw something new were wandering what I did but they didn't ask.

As it had been recommended, I picked up a spoon and scooped up some stew. I bring the cooked meat and vegetable stew to my mouth and shallow. The taste of milk and butter spreads through my mouth as the meat broke apart.

Unlike the hard and sour bread I ate in my previous world, this bread was soft and had a subtly fruity smell to it.

SOMA'S wife seems to be an excellent cook, as I had trouble stalling my hand.

"You must like it. Go ahead and help yourself to another helping."

[sure, thankyou. This is really good.]

Ever since I came to this world I have been eating nothing else then roasted meat. And that also not roasted properly. This feels like I am suddenly in heaven.

After eating I talked to soma about many things and slowly we fell asleep.
