Chapter 4 - Self-Introduction in the desert

I tried licking it a little before giving it to the girl who is lying on the bed, to see what it is, and yeah, it was honey. In this case, it's not bee honey, so would it be ant honey? Anyway, it has an elegant sweetness and is very delicious. Honey is also nutritious and is perfect for regaining strength.

I made spoon out of sand and poured honey into her mouth. I spoonfed her little by little.

„Ngoo…"

„He's worried, but I'm sure it's okay because she's eating a lot of honey."

And I kept giving her ant honey until nightfall, and before I noticed, I fell asleep—

„Why, I—"

Hmm, what? Someone's voice—Oh! That's it!

When I raised my head, I saw the girl with her upper body raised.

„Good! You woke up!"

„Yes, thank you for your help!"

While I was happy, the girl bowed down and thanked me.

„Don't worry about it."

„Ngoo"

„Oh, Raku is also safe. Fufu, its okay, its okay."

And the camel also rubbed her head and was pleased that she was okay. Apperantly Raku is the name of this camel.

„Oh, excuse me for late introduction, my name is Isis."

„I'm Horus. Nice to meet you."

„Yes! Thank you!"

We introduced ourselves to each other. I think that Isis is a beautiful name.

Even so, the robe is removed now, and when I look at her again, I can say with all my heart, that she is really beautiful. Her beautiful silver hair was running down her shoulder and she has clear blue eyes.

Somehow, you can feel the elegance. How could a child like this be lying in the desert?

„Oh, by the way, can I ask you, where are we?"

„Oh yeah. Well, we are currently in a sand castle built in the desert."

„Eh? It's a castle made of sand!?"

Isis was surprised. She wonders if it's really made out of sand. She is worried that the castle will collapse.

„Yes, I made it with magic. Oh, but it's really sturdy so don't worry."

„No, I can't believe that the person who helped me, but this bed is also made out of sand…is a great magician." (TN: I am changing it to magician instead of wizard, seems more appropriate.)

„No,no! That's not true! Originally I was thought to be an unusable magician."

That's why I was banished from my country.

„Yeah! No, that's definitely not the case! At least I don't know any magician who can do this with sand!"

„Is that so?"

„YES!"

Maybe she thinks that because I've helped her? I think that she little overvalueded me, but I'm little happy to have her evalute me this way.

„Why did you fall down in such a place?"

„Oh, about that—„

Isis started coughing. Maybe she doesn't want to talk about it? (TN: it's that scene when you ask her about something she doesnt want to talk so she starts coughing)

„I am sorry that I said something strange. It's something you don't want to talk about, right? If you don't want to talk about it, you don't have to, I won't force you."

„Oh, no. I can't tell you all the details, but I've been driven out of my country."

„Eh? YES!"

When I responded like that, Isis made her eyes black and white. She became very angry, because she felt that her circumstances weren't something you should make fun of.

„I'm sorry for that. Actually, I'm same as you."

„Eh? Is that so? And perhaps, right now also?"

„Yes, I was wondering what to do at first, but having sand attribute helped me."

„Sand attribute – it's pretty rare, isn't it?"

„Yes, but I can't do anything without sand, so I was pressured and harrassed by my family until I was finally banished."

„That's terrible! I can't believe that they did that and you are also so kind!"

Isis got angry on my behalf. She is a good person.

„By the way, what will Isis-san do after this?"

„Well—„

Isis looked away and showed a troubled face. She said she had been driven out from her country, and I'm sure she has nowhere to go

„If you want, you can stay here as long as you like. If you don't mind all the sand, that is."

Rubbing her back and telling her those words, Isis wide opens her eyes in surprise.

„Are you sure?"

„Yeah. I would also be happy if there is someone here other than me. Especially if that person is a good person like Isis-san."

„I am really happy, hearing those words. Then, may I take you up on your offer?

„Of course!"

„Ngoo"

„Yeah.Of course, Raku is also welcome."

"Ngo! Ngoo ~ Ngoo ~"

Raku rubbed his head. He sounds like he's happy to be with me. I was very happy to stroke his head.

Anyway, this added new residents to my castle.

„Wow, it's very delicious."

After regaining energy with ant honey, I decided to cook the preserved meat.

Isis seems happy after taking a bite.

„Really? I'm glad. I thought that meat alone wouldn't taste good, so I dipped it in honey, and it looks like it was the right thing to do."

That's right, I dipped it in honey. Thanks to the ant honey, the meat became tender and I think it was the correct thing to do. It tasted really good.

After having a meal, I headed to the fountain. Isis was pleased for being able to use the clean water.

„If the plants grow a little bit more, we'll have more greenery and environment will become a lot more greener."

„A plant?"

„Yeah. Well, it's not that easy."

It will not grow in a few days, so I think it is necessary to wait patiently to some extent.

„Will you let me help you?"

„Huh? Well, sure, but what can you do?

„Well… I can try to accelerate the growth of plants around here, I guess?

Isis asked such a thing. You can do that!?

„Can I ask you to do it, please?."

„Yes! Life Magic – 'Growth Promotion'."

Oh, Isis can also use magic. After casting Life Magic – the plants on the side of Isis grew steadily.

„This is amazing Isis-san! That such magic existed, I had no idea!"

„I'm glad to hear that."

Isis smiled happily when I said so.

Currently, I am looking at the grown trees, and I found a tree bearing fruit.

„Oh, there's something on it."

„Yes. This is a date. It is kind of fruit that is sweet and delicious. This is a good time to eat them."

Visual Aid: Date fruit

Isis taught me about it. I didn't expect such a tree to be among the trees I carried.

I quickly hand one to Isis. Raku was also drooling, so I gave one to him also.

The fruits from the dates were very delicious with a refreshing sweetness. Both Raku and Isis said that they were delicious.

I thought I would need to wait more time for them to grow, but thanks to Isis's magic, they are able to grow much faster!
