it’s sudden but i came to another world v1 c2

This is quite possibly the sole chapter I will translate (just having some extra free time rn) so if someone want to pick this serie up, do it!

---

Sorry but please help me for the time being

I woke up.

My whole body is in pain. My legs hurt so much that if someone told me it’s because they were soaked in acid, I would believe them.

But I still get up. If there is no one to complain to, then that means there is no one to spoil me.

The time is close to noon. There is something that look like the sun, but is it alright to call it sun in this world too?　If you eat konjac from a certain robot, I’m sure you’ll be OK with calling this the sun.
[TN: seems to be comparison to being ok calling industrial konjac (jp food) the same as the traditionnal one (not that I get it ?)]

I can’t see that fantasy forest anymore.

Slime aside, some bear may appear again, so I must stay alert.

At the same time, I looked for nuts or anything that could serve as food. As expected, I was starting to get hungry.

Fortunately, I found some strawberry-like fruits on the way. I put it in my mouth and wait for the taste to come to my buds.

It has a some sweetness along with a strong sourness, and to be honest, it is far from being to my taste. At least, I don’t seem to get any numbness on the tongue, so it should be edible.

Just to be sure, I refrained from taking large amounts, and continued while eating it slowly.

The difficulty level is rapidly increasing.

“Wahhh, here we go again….”

Let’s call the first place I was in the slime zone. There are bugs around here, unlike over there. After all, there are spider webs everywhere, so it’s very uncomfortable.

The slope starts to get steeper and steeper and it starts to feel like a real downhill.

The moment you turn your attention to the spider’s web, your foot would slip and you would end up hurting yourself.

Shaking a stick I picked up, I swept away the spider’s web with and walked all the way like that. Naturally, the fatigue builds up faster this way but it’s better than getting injured.

I proceed through the branches and trees. It hurts when they whip me back after being pushed.

Thank goodness I was dressed in long sleeves. If it was summer and I had short sleeves, I would have been in a miserable state by now.

It’s like being told to go off the trail and get down while climbing. I am acutely aware of how grateful I am for the road.

If I can conquer this mountain, I’m sure climbing Mount Fuji would be a walk in the park. I need to build up my strength, though.

Honestly, the slime zone was several times easier. I do want to go back but I fear that there may be some other slime.

As I was thinking about this, a new sound came into my ears.

“…Hmm, that sound.”

Yes, this sound is the one I’ve been waiting for.

I quicken my steps and move toward the sound.

And what came into view was a river.

It’s shallow and narrow, but it’s a river nonetheless.

I ran to the riverside and scooped up some water, overwhelmed with emotion.

I want to drink, but I have to be patient. If it’s a spring point upstream, there are many things to worry about at this point.

I washed my face and hair and rinsed out the spider webs.

Now that the discomfort has disappeared, I have a lot of room to breathe.

That’s why I took a break in the river for a while.

Then, while walking and looking at the river while thinking that I wouldn’t be able to fish anything by myself, I found something shocking.

It is a piece of rope.

“Oh. Oooh!”

I lost my words from the shock. After being transported to this other world, I was still worrying about whether there are people in this world.

That seems to answear my worries. This is the proof of civilization.

In fact, if there are signs that people have passed through this area, there may be a mountain trail not far. So, I walked around.

And there it is! Not exactly a path, but branches that were broken on purpose could be spotted.

It could have been broken by a beast, but I also found branches that had been neatly cut with something with a sharp edge. I’m excited about this!

I felt my mouth turn into a smile as I continued on my way.

After continuing for a while, I could see some rocky areas. And then… I found a cave.

There are a pair of torch-like pedestals next to the entrance, and there are signs that they were used recently.

That’s it, finally finding the first villager, isn’t it!

“….no, wait a minute.”

Let’s consider the race of people who live in places like this.

There was a slime, right?　Then maybe there are goblins and such?　If they’re human, maybe they’re bandits or something.

Pattern 1: Goblins

“Human, Grrr. Human eat, become stronger.”

“Gyah.”

Pattern 2: Bandits

“Oh, you’re wearing an unusual outfit. I want it all.”

“Gyah.”

Pattern 3: Immortals

“Practice.”

“Gyah.”

I don’t feel good about that, I need to figure this out. So I was looking around for a place where I could see the entrance and hide.

Level the floor in an affordable location and crouch down.

Let’s stay here for a while.

After an hour of waiting.

“I didn’t sleep.　I was deep in thougts but I didn’t sleep.”

I heard someone talking, so I dove into the grass at the entrance of the cave and peeked in.

There were a couple of humans there, looking quite rough and muscular.

I can’t help but feel the joy of finally meeting someone. I mean, they’re like the bandits, right?　They’ve got a sword and an axe on their hip.

But don’t judge them by their appearance. In fact, he may actually be a very nice guy, and we might call each other “Brother” in the future.

Oh, no. He took out an arm, someone’s arm. And he’s smiling. They are barbarians!

What’s more, I don’t know what they’re saying.

It’s not that the dialect is harsh or anything, it’s the language.

At least it’s not a popular language, and I’m sure they won’t understand Japanese either.

An otherworlder who doesn’t speak the language before these barbarians. I’m definitely going to be attacked.

Honestly, I don’t want to, but I’ll wait and watch a little more. A jewel-like object is attached to a metal chain that’s wrapped around the arm.

I’m guessing that he brought the arm with him because it was hard to remove it while attacking the merchant or the rich man it belonged to and just decided to take it all. The trinkets along with his arm.

I became blue as I remembered a story about how people would cut off the whole arm when stealing a watch in some country.

Don’t come too close or they’ll notice, just hide back and wait for them to go into the cave or leave.

After a while, the bandits went back into the cave.

If these guys have their home here, they should have a road going to a decent place, a village or something.

But　I’m afraid of the possibility of running into friends of these guys, what to do.

For the time being, I found the path that people of the cave took.

Deciding that it was dangerous to go happy go lucky, I decided to proceed under cover.

I suppress the feeling that there’s an easy way out right there.

I’d rather take the hard way than end up face to face with bandits in a mountains like this.

And I was right to do so!

While hiding, I encountered bandits and passed by them.

I passed by about ten people. Or rather, I was almost noticed once.

I couldn’t stop sweating the moment I saw one man put his hand on the axe while looking around.

Luckily I didn’t lose my way, well, the path went straight so it wasn’t particularly difficult either.

And finally, I’ve finished my descent!

Well, I’m still in the woods, though.

But I found a way. It’s not a paved road, but it’s a road that two-wheeled carriage type of vehicles must have taken many times. All that’s left to do is follow this road, and I’m sure I’ll find myself in a place where nice people live. I’m so happy that I don’t care if I’m hungry or not.

This feeling is immeasurable.

I was attacked by a bear and, just before my eyes, the bear was eaten by a slime before It began to pursue me. After narrowly escaping death by running with all I had, I had to walk for hours, descending a steep slope, and nearly dying because of bandits along the way down…

Ugh, I got a little tear-eyed with emotion. As a memorial to this feeling, I’m going to scribble on the tree with some stones I found.

[My wild life period].

I’ve given up on kanji. (TN: yeah that’s litteral translation, deal with it)

Now, let’s decide which way I will go with this ally of mine, the wooden sword [Spider Web’s cleaver]. I wonder in which direction it will fall.

I plunged my upright ally in the ground, wait for it to fall, and followed it’s direction.

◇

–At the entrance of the cave.　

“No, it’s a good one this time, too!”

“Oh, look at this armlet. I couldn’t tear it off, so I brought back the whole arm with me.”

“You haven’t stained other treasures with blood, have you?”

“It will come off if you wash it in the river anyway. Ah, where did I put the rope?”

◇

–On the road.

“Wait, something moved just now.”

“It’s just an animal right?　If it’s the size of a bear, you can just turn around and fight back.”

“I’m going to use detection magic for now, take the Demon Repellent Stone and leave.”

“Hai hai.”

“The magic detection won’t catch anything. A beast?”

“That’s what I’m talking about, right?”

“Just in case we have to turn around and head back to the cave.”

“Ugh.”

◇

“Finally…”

Yes, I had finally reached it.

What is currently in front of me is a castle wall that stretches from left to right.

And at the extremity of the road is a huge castle gate.

Behind the wall, appears a castle worthy of a fantasy world with white and blue-green as its color base.

It’s a pretty big castle in terms of size, and the castle town seems to be of a reasonable scale.

I held back my joy and approached the castle gate.

“Hey!　Help me!”

And then I remember. That the language doesn’t work.

“Oh, yes, I’m sorry about that, yes.”

The guards guarding the castle gates shoved their spears at me and shouted something at me and I was caught.

I’m sure you would catch a trespasser who doesn’t speak the language. It’s nice and civilized.

I was then taken to a hut beside the castle and thrown into the jail that was inside.

Oh, but there’s a rush mat. I feel like I’m going to get a good night’s sleep.

I have been enduring my fatigue so far, but I could only take a small nap in the forest. Anyway, let’s go to bed.

There’s nothing worse than being encircled by bandits. No, it’s not a flag.

Alright, Good night!

It should be noted that I was beaten up a few dozen of minutes later.

◇

–At the castle gate.

“Hey, stop! Doesn’t he look like one?”

“—!　—-!”

“What are you talking about?”

“Black hair and obscure words… Hey, could it be,by any chance …a demon?”

“What the hell?　Hey, hold him right there!　Be quiet!”

“…-…-…——–…”

“Senior, what do we do with this one?”

“For now, let’s put him in a cell in the barracks. I’ll leave the rest to Madam Ilias.”

◇　

Ilias-Ratzel was troubled.

The other day she was summoned by her boss, Lord Ragdor, and given the task of taking out the bandits.

She has great respect for Lord Ragdor who appreciates the merits of men and women alike, and understands the expectations placed on her.

But she has heard rumors of the few last bandits subjugations. Several knights have already taken up the job, but have not been able to make any achievements.

It’s not that they were incompetent. From what she heard from the factual reports, they even took measures that Illias would also have.

But the bandits always had a move ahead.

They could appear everywhere and suddenly disappear into the woods and mountains.

They never challenge the combat trained, powerful, knights and continue to attack only the helpless people.

Ilias was also in charge of the escort the other day, when a moment after they had passed by him, a subsequent merchant was attacked and killed.

He died of blood loss from being left alone with an arm amputated to take his valuables. How much pain and fear did they put him through?

“But I have to live up to Lord Ragdor’s expectations….”

Good ideas were already used up by my predecessors. I wonder if I will be able to do it.

If I was told to slay all the bandits by myself, I would be confident that I could do it. This is not a boast, but a fact.

My father, who was a knight, was killed in battle against the demon tribe. My mother, who was a clergy(wo?)man, was with me at that time.

Although there was some sadness, I chose the path of becoming a knight because I was impressed by the sight of him bravely standing up to face them.

I trained hard and was recognized for my abilities, and was assigned to Lord Ragdor’s unit.

I made up for all the disadvantages of my position as a woman with my abilities alone, and I am known for my strength.

But that is only if it concerned feats of arms.

If I don’t get results, my position will be even more hindered.

There are only few people who like me.

Facing the jealousy from men who had their face crushed, and the fear of a woman who wields unusual strength.
(TN: not sure about this one 面子を潰された男性からは嫉妬を、異常な強さを振るうことで女性からは恐怖を。)

What I want is a life lived as a knight, not solely have the reputation of a knight.

But I still had some thoughts running around in my mind.

Anger toward the bandits, the pressure of the position as a knight, and other mixed emotions mixed up.

“I haven’t trained enough yet…….”

I continue to patrol, laughing at my own mental turmoil.

Then the report came in.

“Ma’am Ilias. The gatekeeper at the castle gate wants you to come to the barracks. It seems that they have captured a demon.”

“Huh?”

The sudden addition of the problem made me scream in disbelief.

We hurriedly went to the barracks used by the gatekeepers.

The barracks are built just outside the castle gate. There is also a prison, albeit a simple one, and there are many travelers who are put in it when they cause trouble at the castle gate.

“So, him?”

There he was, a young man with dark hair.

He was sleeping very comfortably in his cell.

Black hair is rarely seen in this area. And it’s a color often found in humanoid demon races.

I was momentarily alarmed, but once I cooled down and looked at it, I knew immediately. I couldn’t feel any threat from this young man.

I did use magic detection just to be sure, but his inherent magic seem to be very small. Or rather, I’ve never seen someone with as few magic power as him in my life. His clothes look dirty, but if you look closely, they seem elaborate and his shoes are made of a material I’ve never seen before.

According to the gatekeeper, he spoke in a strange language…..

I take my sword with me and have them open my cell and go in.

“Hey, wake up.”

No reply. It’s a nice sleeping face he has there huh.

“Hey.”

I shake his shoulders. He won’t wake up. A deep sleep indeed.

“Get up!”

I slap him on the cheek and looked at him. He responded lightly, but stayed asleep.

“Wake up.”

I strike him this time. Oh, he opened his eyes.

He looked at me with a sleepy face, mumbled something and went back to sleep.

“…”

He finally woke up after making a good sound from being hit with my sword’s handle.
