Consciousness awakens with an indescribable feeling.
where is here? At least not in the lord's mansion bedroom. No, I should have slept in a makeshift shelter before that. Everywhere is bright here, nothing above or below. It's like floating in lukewarm water.
When I turned my gaze downward, there was a small person straddling me. His skin was a beautiful white like white porcelain, and now it has been dyed a pale pink. Her silver eyes take on a lascivious color and shoot at me. Just looking at her eyes makes her head spin. Pleasure bursts out.
With my dreamy, uncoordinated consciousness, I focused my gaze on her breasts, which were relatively large for her size, her lovely belly button, and then below--.
"I'm lazy!"
"Obuu! ? 』
My fist was straddling me on the petite girl――no, I caught the face of a bad god.
It's time to really wake up. I jumped up and immediately turned on the light with life magic and checked the inside of my pants.
"Out!"
Purify your body and clothes in a suicidal mood.
``Isn't there a punch in the face even if you put it out as hard as you can? 』
"I want to die! Kill me, kill me!"
"That far! ? Hey, that's going to hurt! ? 』
"I've been defiled... I don't have a face to match Marle anymore. Let's die."
"Wait! Don't stop! That's a dream! Because it's a dream! Because it's actually nothing! 』
"TRUE?"
"Honest Dayo"
i doubt it. I want to die More than anything, I want to disappear from this world just because I thought that useless god was beautiful.
"I was supposed to be kissing a beautiful woman, but when I opened my eyes, the other person turned into a filthy old man."
"Treat yourself as a dirty old man! ? 』
It's the worst feeling, but it seems like it's going to be morning, so I kick the blocked entrance and go outside. Let's run. And forget everything.
"I'm not convinced..."
Some kind of useless god is muttering, but I don't care.
Well, which way shall we run? I know it's slightly bright, but I don't know the direction of the sun. I know where you came from yesterday, so let's just keep going.
However, if you run a long distance, the course will gradually turn and turn around, but is it okay? If you don't have a compass, you can't use a map, so there's no way to check.
"... you should turn left a little."
"Do you understand?"
"...Ah well"
"Another useful function has increased."
"..."
You look in a bad mood. I wonder if the dirty old man treatment hurt boulder. Because, look, it's kind of embarrassing. You can't be honest with a cute girl. man.
'I knew it! Ehehe』
"It's a lie"
'Raised and dropped! 』
To be honest, I think it looks cute. That mysterious silver hair is also mysterious, and the slightly bruised mouth with double teeth and plump lips are also cute. A face that is both cute and beautiful, and a beautiful skin that is white like white porcelain and has no scratches or blemishes is perfect. A petite figure arouses a desire to protect her, and her large breasts for her figure are also a high point. I can't stand being alive.
"You can erase what's alive! 』
In that case, it can be said that she is the ideal image of the best woman that men want.
"Right? Cute, right? Makes me want to cuddle and mess around, right? 』
"The contents are fatally useless... it's too late."
"That's right"
The vegetation changed while I was running. The number of towering large trees decreased, and the number of familiar-sized trees increased. The reddish-brown ground disappeared, and the soft black soil mixed with humus became visible. At the same time, the number of trees and plants has increased, and flowers and other things have become noticeable.
The signs of living things are getting thicker.
Weaken the running momentum and walk while looking around. After a short while, I found a vine that seemed to be strong, so I quickly collected it. It was impudently entwined around my limbs and wrapped around my neck, so I tore it off and severed the root. Is it some kind of monster?
I hung the body of yesterday's mysterious creature from a handy tree, peeled off the skin, and dismantled it into moderately sized pieces. After dismantling it, purify it and put it in the treasure box. I can now eat.
But I want a knife I want to say goodbye to the wild life of wielding something like a cypress stick. civilization to me
"It would be nice if there was an adventurer's corpse somewhere."
"That's why you have the option of plundering the corpse first."
"Don't you peel it off? 』
"No, I'll take it off."
A corpse doesn't need equipment. I will use it effectively.
When it's finally time, why don't you try making a furnace out of the stones and clay around here and refining? Somehow, I feel like I can do it. I don't know how many levels there are, but I'm sure there's some blacksmithing skill left. The problem is how to get iron ore.
Looking for something that can be used while advancing through the forest. I don't know if I can eat it, but I got some fruit. However, fruits... even if they are eaten by animals, they are often poisonous to humans, so they cannot be eaten so easily.
What I got was a fist-sized yellow pipa-like fruit, a purple apple-like fruit, and a pink peach-like fruit. There were a lot of them, so I took a lot and put them in the item box.
As for poison, I think it's probably okay because I think I have poison resistance. Mainly because I was used as a test subject for Marl's dangerous medicine.
However, I want to meet intelligent creatures soon. I want salt and shoes.
"Hmm, no trace of humans."
『I should have walked quite a distance, but there is no sign of leaving the forest.』
I don't know the exact distance, but it must have been quite a distance. Even though I've lost my strengthening passive skills, my speed should be dozens of times that of an average adventurer. It should probably be moving at a faster speed than a scooter in the original world.
If I can't get out of the forest after running this distance, there's only one place I can think of.
"This is the large forest in the northwestern part of the continent, isn't it?"
"Hmm, maybe so."
A large forest in the northwestern part of the continent.
It is a vast forest located to the west of the Geppels Kingdom and northwest of the Kalendale Kingdom. It's not as big as the Great Sea of Trees with Clover, but it's said to be about half the size of the Kalendale Kingdom.
The steep Mount Bass mountains to the west, the rough seas seen from the cliffs to the north, and escape routes only to the east or south. So, where have we been running so far?
I don't know... this is reality! If it was running from the south to the north, it wouldn't work.
"And speaking of the Great Forest-"
"It's Elof! 』
"Yeah, an elf.
My poor elf, Melkina, is proof of that. That's definitely Elof.
"If I remember correctly, I feel like the elves here were very exclusive."
``Hundreds of years ago, they were hunted by humans and driven into the Great Forest. The current mainstream elves should be the elves of that time, so it can't be helped.』
"Well, the other races here are mostly beastmen, and they also hate humans, right?"
『It can't be helped because the beastmen and their descendants escaped persecution in the Kalendale Kingdom.』
Stomp, the arrow pierces my feet. I can roughly understand where it was shot from, but I can't see the shadow of a person even if I look in that direction. It must have moved or hidden in some way.
The surrounding bushes also make a rustling sound. When I tried to detect signs, I was able to detect signs around me, albeit vaguely. Surrounded by maybe seven or eight people.
"Don't move, human. An elf archer is aiming at you."
A large figure stepped out of the bushes in front of me.
That's a tiger. It was a bipedal tiger with black and white stripes. He wears armor of tanned hide over plush fur and wields metal gauntlets on his hands.
"Ah, I don't think I've done much guilt for the time being. Is it okay to be friendly?"
"Didn't you come here to hunt slaves and get killed by monsters?
"Yeah, the reason why I was thrown out here with this equipment is that there are circumstances deeper than the sea.
"Huh? Say it. I'll just listen."
The tiger beast man raises one eyebrow and asks with interest.
"I'm a hero who played an active role in the Great Flood. However, because I was too active, the gods took notice of me. After a fierce battle with the gods, I was stripped of my strength and managed to escape to this forest. is"
"..."
The tiger beastman fell silent at my explanation. I feel that the bloodlust of the people surrounding me has eased for a moment.
"Do you believe me?"
"Did you think I'd believe you in such a silly hoax?"
"That's right! It's true! If you're going to capture me and kill me for the time being, I can't let you die silently, I have a place to go back to, and I have a wife waiting for me If that's what you intend to do, be prepared to throw your life away."
Saying that, I half-desperately set up something like a cypress stick. The tension in the scene suddenly increased. I don't think I'll lose so easily, but there are several beasts and an elf archer who seem to be reasonably strong in front of me. It's unclear if all the elf archers are as strong as Melkina, but it wouldn't be a bad idea to assume that they were about the same.
This is where you die if you let your guard down. I can't die in a place like this.
"Don't look at me with a man's eyes...don't let your guard down, this guy."
The tiger man bares his fangs and holds his posture low. He has a very dignified atmosphere just because he exposes himself. I also put magical power into something like a cypress stick and step backwards.
The arrow pierced through the space where my thigh had been, stabbing into the ground.
"Hahahaha! That hand was beaten by Melkina! It's not that easy, you nameless elf-san!"
While calling out to the invisible elf archer, he punches the tiger man in front of him. The tiger man looked startled at what looked like a cypress stick I was wielding, but he dodged at the last minute and quickly distanced himself from me. I tried to step forward so as not to miss it, but I had a bad feeling and stepped lightly to the side.
An arrow filled with tremendous magical power flew towards my avoidance destination. While clicking his tongue, he knocked it down with a magic attack of something like a cypress stick, and rushed in the direction the arrow came from.
At the same time, a woman descended from the top of the tree, pulled out a large knife from her waist, and attacked with a terrifying speed. It's blocked by something like a cypress bat, but the blade gradually digs into it even if it's wrapped in magic. The quality of the weapons seems to be good, but it seems that the magical power contained in the large knives like the Kukri Knife is quite high. It's downright disadvantageous.
"Didn't you say Melkina!? Where is that girl!?"
"If you want to hear it, don't shoot that dangerous blow! What if you accidentally die from it!"
The woman who cried out while fighting me was exactly like Melkina. Glittering blond hair, strong-willed jade eyes, and pointed ears peeking out from her blond hair. Unfortunately for her, the way she looks at me is burning with hatred and anger.
"You look like Melkina. Family?"
"Melkina is my daughter! Where!? Where is she? Answer me!"
"Huh? Mother-in-law? Seriously? Isn't it your sister?"
"Mother-in-law!?
A large knife barely bites into something like a cypress stick. Stop stop! Mother-in-law, stop! Things like my cypress sticks break!
"Melkina is my wife! I just had a wedding the other day!"
"Huh!? That child is a human!? That's a lie! Otherwise, you must have done a lot of things that you couldn't say in your mouth and made that child surrender! You devil!"
"That's not true! He said he wanted to marry me because 'I can eat sweets anytime'! I wondered if that was okay with you!"
"That girl is like that--I might say it! I might say it!"
"I told you! Your daughter said so! And I thought that if I married her, I would become a different person!"
"It's that girl! It's definitely that girl!
The mother-in-law collapsed and fell into a disappointment. What is that, mother and child all have a story? Is it a joke to expose that system to me, who I'm meeting for the first time? Hey.
"It seems that the misunderstanding has been cleared.
The moment I said that and stroked my chest, my vision blurred.
In an instant, my legs were taken and I was pinned down.
"But we have to catch people who invade the forest. I'm sorry, Mr. Husband of an unknown daughter."
"Why!? Just now we're about to reconcile and shake hands!"
"It's okay, it's okay, because the person who caught it has some discretion. I won't do anything bad."
"Is it true!? Do you believe me? Because I believe you? If not, I'll go on a rampage with all my might!"
"Yes, yes, let's be a good boy."
Melkina's mother-like elf held me down, tied my hands behind my back, and supported me to stand up. If I try to apply force, the rope or ivy that binds my arm will be torn if I try with all my might, so I decided to take it away as it is.
I'm sure it won't look bad. I want to believe so.
"It was cooked well~♪"
Shall we stop saying ominous things? It's not fashionable, is it?
"And what will he do after all?"
When I was quietly restrained, the tiger man earlier let go of his guard and approached me. If you don't bare your fangs and just act normal, you'll find that cats have a unique cuteness to them. The voice is that of a young man.
"I'll take care of him. Believe it or not, he seems to be my son-in-law."
"Is it okay? There must be a lot of misanthropic people in your village."
"Is that the same for you?"
"That's true, but we still respect strong guys. Isn't that different?"
"Hmm, that's certainly true. But it would be unethical to throw him away even though he might be my son-in-law, wouldn't he?
"Well, I don't mind if Ane-san says so."
As far as I can tell, there is a village of tiger men separate from the village of Mr. Mother-in-law (provisional name), and the quality of the residents seems to be different. If everything went smoothly, the former would be the elf village, and the latter would be the beastman village.
That's how I was detained by my mother-in-law (provisional) and taken to the village where she lived.
☆★☆
"Could you drop me off?"
"You can't do it. You can't run well because your hands are tied behind your back. Please hold me gently."
"I'm pretty embarrassed, but this is"
"Boys don't care about details"
Yes, this is Taishi who is being carried in the acclaimed princess's arms. She is about to die of shame.
"Is the boy doing well?"
"Well, you're fine. I tend to be a little too sticky, but it makes me happy to think that you're loved that much."
"Yeah... I'll ask you various things when I get home."
Look at her smiling face when she says that. Well, the more I look at her, the more she looks like Melkina. I can't imagine her being a mother. To my eyes, they only look like sisters. It's to the extent that I feel a little like an older sister.
It seems that the area where the princess was held for about an hour and brought to the borderline between the giant tree forest and the normal forest. It is an environment where giant trees and ordinary trees coexist.
"Arrived"
"Huh...? Oh, is there a house in the tree?"
When I looked up at the giant trees, I could see suspension bridges and scaffolding between them, and I could also see something like a house built to stick to the giant trees. It doesn't seem like there's any need to be afraid of monsters or animals attacking you if you're that far off the ground.
"Let's go"
When my mother-in-law-san said so and jumped, a strong wind blew, and she gently lifted me up to the scaffolding in the tree while holding me like a princess. Landing on the scaffolding without a sound, she carefully lowered me onto the scaffolding and once again looked at me from my toes to the top of her head.
"Well, your face isn't bad. When I hugged you, your body is well-built, and your appearance is passable. However, I can't accept those tattered clothes and bare feet."
"Clothes and shoes can't be helped..."
I want you to complain to those immature gods who mercilessly gang-lynched me.
"Well, that's fine. Come with me, I have to report to the chief."
After saying that, he started walking steadily, so I decided to follow him quietly.
After walking for a while, I encountered the first villager. She glared at me with obvious disgust. The second villager had the same reaction. It was a questioning expression. no, a girl? she may be a boy Since they are all elves, they are beautiful without exception. Young children cannot distinguish between male and female.
The closer you get to the center of the village, the more people there are. 70% hate or disgust, 20% question, 10% interest. It doesn't feel very friendly.
``Is it possible to bake Ultra well? 』
I hate that. Well, I'll run away, but when I feel like that.
As we were walking, an elf stood in front of us. Like any other elf, he's a handsome elf with a handsome appearance. He has greenish-silver hair and gray eyes, and there is a clear disgust and emotion in those gray eyes.
"Elmina-san! What are you thinking about bringing humans into this village!?"
"You're so noisy. What's wrong with bringing my son-in-law here?"
"Wha... Huh!? Son-in-law!? What do you mean!?"
"This child seems to be Melkina's husband.
"Hey, it's Melkina's husband."
I wanted to take a teary pose, but since my hands are tied behind my back, I can only stand up.
"You have plenty of leeway"
The useless god sighs in my head. Stop it, that sigh will stain my brain. I'll pay for the cleaning.
"When I get my strength back, I'll clean your brain as you wish. I'll make it so that you can only think of me.』
It's not cleaning, it's like brainwashing, isn't it? Please forgive me. Please.
"Hey! Don't ignore me!"
"Oh, I'm sorry. I was listening to the voice of God, so I didn't hear it."
"Are you making a fool of yourself!?"
"It's relatively serious...So, mother-in-law. Why is this person so serious?"
"Oh, that girl. It's a girl named Ares, but she had a crush on Melkina. Even if she left, she was a loser who didn't chase after her, so you don't have to worry about it."
"Wow, your mother-in-law is so spicy!"
The blade of your mother-in-law's words cuts Ares to pieces! Ares is mentally dead!
O Ares, it is a pity that you die. No, I think I would die if I was told the same thing in the same situation. Mother-in-law is too merciful.
"Uh, uh, uh..."
Is this person okay? Aren't you going to kill yourself because of your broken heart? My heart hurts a little because of the cause. But if you worry about me, you'll be the last one. Leave it alone, yeah I'm not bad! Mother-in-law said I'm not bad!
"I'm going to report to the chief. Look, disband."
When Elmina's mother-in-law said so, the elves scattered. Ares-kun was also pulled by another elf and taken somewhere. Yeah, I'm not bad Not bad, right?
"It may not be bad, but it's not something you can divide. You might get stabbed if you're not careful☆』
I hate that. Let's be careful.
"Just be careful. Even losers might do something if they go crazy."
"If you think so, why don't you try to clean it up calmly?"
"It's not troublesome. That kind of thing is limited to doing it with a bang."
"That suitability for things that don't interest you...just like parent and child."
When I followed behind my mother-in-law who started walking with a stutter, I arrived at a building that was slightly larger than the other houses. Mother-in-law-san walks into it as casually as if she were at her parent's house, so I follow her.
When I went inside, there was an elf man sitting on a chair made of wood and vines and knitting or something. He looks a little old, but he's still handsome. Elves may really only have good looks.
"Father, I found a son-in-law, so I brought him here."
"Son-in-law?
"That's not true. Melkina's son-in-law, not mine. It seems that various things happened and he got lost in the Great Forest. To make a human husband is my daughter after all."
"what..."
The elf man who was called father by his mother-in-law dropped the knitting needles and knitting needles he was holding in his hand with an amazing face. Face, your face is supposed to be amazing. Why do you do such a spectacular facial trick even though you have a good figure?
"My Melkina… cute and cute Melkina has become an adult without me even knowing it… even though seeing a bride with my own eyes has been my purpose in life…"
"I've been wondering this for a while, but is it your hobby to kill people with the word "mother-in-law" or something?"
"I don't really have that kind of hobby. By chance, by chance."
It seems unconscious. What a horrible person.
"For the time being, shall I ask you to tell me about the details of your encounter with Melkina?"
"Ah, where should I start... well, should I start from the beginning?"
I decided to talk about how it all started, after I came to this world.
