Chapter 39: Ordinary Person 

“That’s amazing… Lang was taken out in one shot…”

“…indeed your not an ordinary person”

“Lang has been made into chair, but… Are you happy?”

“What are you saying? He’s just passed out.”

　The people around me were buzzing about something, but I didn’t care. It’s not my fault if you ask ───── someone their age so bluntly.　

───── such a person must be dealt with. Hmph.

　We couldn’t speak in front of the person who used the unconscious Lang as a chair, and who had an unidentifiable presence in the air.

　Just then, the chore boy approached us from behind.

“You two, when it comes to women, the things that make them mad at you the most Is asking their body size, age, appearance, and most of all, weight. This is the biggest minefield of all. Be careful. Don’t ask about it. The next time you step on a landmine, you will be piled on top of Lang-san.”

　The boy’s whispered advice made me straighten my back.

I ‥‥‥‥ I will be stacked on top? ‥‥‥‥ No, no, that won’t happen!

 “───── hmmm. I’m Alvarez, the captain of this unit. Call me Al. This is Fleet, the second in command. The one your sitting on is Lang. I have a lot of questions I want to ask you, but for now, ───── who are you?”

　He had been whispering something with the boy, but what he asked was just a normal self-introduction.

　He asked me my name normally and I told him I was Rio. ───── but, who am i?

‥‥‥‥ Who am I? What? Eh~ I am~ hmm? Hmm?　Hmm?

　─────Yes, yes, I groaned, then realized that and patted my hand.

　I groaned, then realized, “Oh,” and snapped my hands.

“──────Yes, a normal civilian!”

　oh  yes. I’m just a normal person around here. ─────Yes, definitely.

“““There ain’t no ordinary person like that !!! ─────!”””

　Immediately after, I received fierce condemnation by the people around me. ─────?*

“Oh, Shiro-kun. That’s a fortress castle. It looks very practical and austere.”

　The building we had been watching from the forest was now in front of us.

　I thought it was a huge building even from a distance, but it turned out to be a fortress castle.

─────Psshh.

　I received a disgruntled snort in response from Shiro-kun.

　Yes, it’s not hard to understand why. Even now, behind us, there is a knight wandering behind us asking things like, “Sister, shall we take a break” “Shall I get you a drink?” It’s him, you know, the one with the hair.

　Frankly speaking, it’s annoying. Shiro-kun, are you going to do something? Will you do it? Don’t look at me. I’m also reading the air. It’s okay, it’s okay. We’re almost there, it’s here.

“shape up!”

　─────Yes, I’m here, Okan.***

　They’re everywhere, idiots. He said he was the vice captain, so I guess he’s an okan personnel. Even now, he pulled away from us while pulling his ears. ──────Thank you.***

　After last night’s unreasonable booing, I was asked by a nervous-looking vice captain or something like that asked me some serious questions to dig down to the root of this, but in essence, where do you belong? That’s what he wanted to know

　Of course, I can’t say anything about being reincarnated from another world, but since I came to this world, I don’t know anything other than that forest.

　Gilt? It’s not in there. Sorcerer? Who will certify that? A swordsman? Is it a self-declared system?

──────So. After all, I am an ordinary person!

“‥‥‥‥, That’s definitely not true.‥‥‥‥”

　There seemed to be a groaning voice coming from below, but I couldn’t hear it.

　For now, it seems like they’re asking me to come to the fort castle, but what should I do, I have a feeling I’m going to get into some kind of trouble, so I’m thinking to myself.

“I’d like to make some sweet sweets using this miu fruit! If you like, can we have a sample tasting or something?”

“Yes, with pleasure ~!”

───── that was the immediate response.
