6 ⑤ Worst Supper (Bottom)

"Right. It's not a very good story for digestion. Will we get rid of the trouble first?"

When I responded that way, Ai-Fa snorted, "Hmm," and then lowered her hips to which side of Kama.

It sits like an agura with one knee up.

You're being really Rin, but not the way a girl in very thin clothes deserves to sit down.

"... let me get a little lighter too, huh?

After I declared that, I untied the strings on my forehead.

Of course, I didn't have an evil idea or anything, but it's just getting hotter from around the fire on Kamado.

Still, the temperature isn't that high compared to the impression I get from my eye-fa stature and dense forests like the South. I'm wondering if I'm a little hot flying from Japan in June, so it's probably around 30°C.

Now that we've been up late, it could be further down. When I took off my cooking jacket and forehead and looked like a single T-shirt, I was as comfortable with the night breeze blowing in through the window.

"... that's a funny outfit. I've never even seen a person dressed like that in a boarding town."

"Yeah, well, I guess so. I've never seen a man dressed like an eye-fa before."

On a messy fur, I claw at the front of the eye-fa too.

"So? What do you want to ask me? To be honest, I don't know what's going on, so I'm not sure I can explain it very well."

"... where did you come from?

That's the second time.

The explanation from Chiba Prefecture, a country called Japan, probably doesn't allow us to talk.

I said, staring back into the eyes of an eye-fa glowing like a bobcat in the dim darkness.

"I = fa. You helped me, and this is how you invited me home. I'm not even going. You're picking me up and being nice to me, so I'm thankful for you. There's no lie in that feeling."

So? So I = fa tilt his neck.

"So tell me everything honestly. And then you judge me."

That's how I ended up talking about this body that I don't even understand.

That I have lived in a country that is quite peaceful, for seventeen years.

That one day, a disaster struck me and I became the feather of jumping into the flames.

Dead, I thought, that I woke up like nothing happened in that forest earlier.

That this place is very similar to the world I was in, but somewhere seems fundamentally different.

"... the possibility can be that I was just flown to a completely strange land in the same world. Even if you put aside the biggest problem that I'm pimping like this when I'm supposed to be dead, it still doesn't fit too often."

And I let my own suspicions swirl in my chest go straight to my mouth.

"For example, we're talking right now, that's the word. You don't know a country like Japan, do you, Ai-Fa?

"... I don't know"

"Yeah, at that point, I don't understand anymore. I can't believe people who don't know Japan can speak Japanese. It's unthinkable in my world. I wonder how we can communicate our intentions without any problems like this?

…………

"So, not only do you people by the woods exist in this world, but the stone capital is the kingdom of the west, right? How big a country is that?

"... even I have no use for stone capitals etc. To sell the horns and fangs of Gibba, it's enough to take you to the lodging town outside the stone walls, so I'll just tell you what else."

So after much thought, Ai-Fa said quietly.

"Only… I think I heard that under the castle of Genos in its stone walls there are thousands of human beings, and under the castle of Selva, the western kingdom that governs it, there are as many human beings as there are stars..."

"Yeah. That's a cool scale.... Do you know what kind of gods those stone capitals worship?

This question returned a very damning look.

"The people of Selva are determined to worship Selva, the god of the west. There are four great kingdoms on the continent of Ameshorn. There are four great gods in the four kingdoms. There is no people without the protection of the four great gods in Ameshorn. A people without God is a beast.... I don't even know that, Asta."

"Unfortunately, I don't know. No continent with that name, no kingdom, no god, I've never heard of it before."

I smile bitterly and wear my head wrapped in a towel.

"If it was a total of 500 hunting people, or a boar that grew horns, or so on, it would still be left with a slight possibility that I didn't know I was just shallow... I can't do this anymore. Unfortunately, the conclusion seems to have been reached."

Well, such a thin possibility was something I had given up from very early on, so I wasn't even shocked now.

But it was also about acknowledging the truth that there was no possibility of being reunited with fathers or childhood friends.

I said eye-fa's, staring into the beautiful blue eyes.

"At the moment, shall I tell you my conclusion?... I'm probably on God's whim or something, and I've been flown out of a different world than here. I wonder what God can't see without having trouble communicating."

…………

"Is it super ancient, super futuristic, a parallel-world that evolved differently from our world, a world that even exists in more fundamentally different dimensions... anyway, this is not the world I was born and raised in"

…………

"I'm a man from another world."

And after throwing up a dialogue that's really unfamiliar with my tongue, I shrug my shoulders.

"Or I'm thinking that way with a blow to the head or something, I'm crazy. … I think the answer is only one of these two"

"... do you admit that you are insane?

"I won't admit it. For me, the seventeen years I've lived are all I've ever had. If he says it's all a lie, my very existence is a lie."

I said that clearly as I sipped down the sigh that was about to spill.

That's all I had to say.

"Just in case, there's no one else like me, is there? Everyone who dies in my world will be reborn in this world, what a story..."

"There's no way there's such a ridiculous story"

"Right. If it were such a system, this world would be flooded with dead people."

I stood on one knee imitating Ai-Fa and let me put my cheek wand on there.

"That's all you can tell me. I'll leave the later decision to you."

"... Got it"

One last glimpse of my face, and then Ai-Fa stands up all the way up.

"... so it's about time you fit in"

"Yeah?"

"It fits when the meat is boiled."

With that said, Ai-Fa took away the heavy stone and the lid of the pan.

The bright white hot air explodes.

"Wow, that smells delicious"

I stood up too, letting myself peek into the contents of the pot at the shoulder of Ey-Fa.

At the bottom of a round pan, the water and pieces of flesh are grass-dancing.

The hot air is amazing, but the ash juice is also amazing. It's like soap. It's like a bump.

"... of course cooking is important, but enough of my stories?

When I ask, from close range, Ai-fa flickers.

"You are a man from another world. Or so presumed a madman. … it is understood"

"Copy that. Will you believe a story that doesn't even have such a thump?

"... at least I know that you're not trying to fool me"

Ai-Fa turned away a lot and took the vegetables that were rolling under her feet.

Um, it's like a green onion.

When I = fa dimensioned it with a small knife with it in his hand, the contents were also green, but the texture was still just like an onion.

Remove only the dry, thin skin on the surface, and EY-FA throws it into the pan. The chunks just split vertically and cut into two pieces, dubbed.

"You're not a big liar. So maybe he's a madman."

Dobo, Dobo.

In all, five or six onions are served one after the other.

Watching the sight of that infernal cauldron, I snapped, "Don't thank me."

"What is that? Are you glad they called you a lunatic, you?

"Oh. At least I'm more than happy to be called a big liar. It means you believed my words for once."

"... I don't know who you are!

Ai-Fa said in an angry voice, this time taking a cream-colored potato moddle. This one didn't even peel off, I just sliced a muscle into the surface, dull.

Even though it's such a deep pot, the abscissa buzzes up to the edge.

As I scraped him around with a thick wooden stick like a scrub, Ai-Fa gave me another sinister look.

"... so what are you going to do now?

"Hmm? What are you going to do?

"How are we going to live? Are you going to look for the world you were in and the means to get home?

"Hey, what about that guy? Assuming we can get back to the original world, maybe we're in the middle of a fire scene. The moment I get back, I'm on fire. Then I'll just go out of my way to go home to die again.... sounds awful, but I'm already totally dead in that world."

Still, if I could give my father his santoku knife back, it would still be worth the cost of his life. When I'm on fire, maybe Sandeok's on fire too.

"Well, I can't even think about it yet. I mean, it doesn't matter what my intentions are, there's a chance they'll suddenly pull me back into the original world. I don't even know what kind of super theory has caused such a delightful phenomenon, so I'm not surprised what just happened."

"... right"

"If you regret picking up such a troublemaker, say so. But I'm leaving right now. Fortunately, Nojuku doesn't seem to have a tough climate..."

"If you go wild in a woodland like this, you'll be trampled to death by Gibba. You'll only have bones left tomorrow."

That's what I-Fa said, like cutting off my words.

"And Digga-Sung and others have seen me with you. Now if you commit any kind of deadly contraindication, like you don't even know the existence of the four great gods, everything will be my responsibility."

"Yeah? Yeah, but then..."

"For a while, don't imitate yourself out of my sight"

In a grumpy voice whilst stirring the contents of a boiled iron pot like a fairytale witch, Ai-Fa says.

"At the very least, beat it to your head about the logic of this world and the code by the woods. Then die wild on your own."

"Okay....... thank you so much, i-fa"

"So! Why are you bowing your head there! Are you glad they told you to drown wild, you!

"I'm glad. Rather than being told to leave now."

That's what I replied, careful not to sound as serious as possible.

And just one step away from Ai-Fa.

Because if I kind of kept staring at that at this close range, I felt like I was going to have a lot of momentum and hugs.

That's how I was worried about my own fate.

That's how desperate I was for losing everything I've ever had.

To me like that, Ai-Fa told me to "stay here".

"I'm not a liar," he said.

It was me who was destined to be borne by a fate that was not even Locke at all, but nevertheless there was nothing else to be sincerely thankful for but the fact that it was this bigoted girl that I first met when I came to this world.

"... you boiled it"

Saying in a still slightly angry voice, Ai-Fa turned her back on me.

Now he hid himself behind the door in the middle, and when he came back, he had two sets of deep dish vessels and a spoon like a renge, plus an oval ladle - an appliance like the so-called "balls".

Of course, they're all made of wood.

From the bottom of the pan, which turned bright white with hot air and blush, pour the contents of the soaked eggs into the vessel, silently pouring them over to me.

"Thanks"

My chest is full, but my belly is peppery.

I gratefully received it and lowered my hips over the fur cloth.

Interesting and checking the contents of the vessel while waiting for Ai-Fa to split his own.

It was white, loose soup.

Looks like clam chowder for the purpose I saw it, but the smell is totally sissi pan.

From the white surface, brown meat pieces and green vegetables peek by the way.

The onion modoki is broken down to a better size, and the potato modoki is - nowhere to be seen. Has it boiled down without a trace in such a short time?

Speaking of which, this soup or the dashi juice is a little creamy, and it also seemed to be the same shade as the potato moddle once was.

(Well, saying they look alike doesn't mean they're not real onions or potatoes. What the hell does that taste like?

The only thing that caught my mind a little was the fact that I hadn't picked up the ash juice at one time after all that blubbering, but, well, follow the town when you go to it.

Because so-called ash juice is a clutter that inhibits the flavour of a dish, but also a lump of flavour ingredients. You can remove it to nagging, and it's not like that.

(These guys have lived in this ingredient for years. I'm from different worlds. It's not safe to say anything.)

While doing so, Ai-Fa lowered her hips somewhere.

"Why aren't you eating? Did you still reckon it wasn't something you ate, like Giva's meat?

"No, no, no. Meals are for everyone at the same time. It's the fashion of the world I was in. Looks really delicious, this guy."

Ai-fa shrugs her shoulders like she doesn't care about the bottom of her heart, while she starts eating her own bumps.

After confirming his appearance, I said, "Here you go."

Take a wooden spoon and soak up pieces of meat from each white soup.

It is the first supper in another world.

I carried the contents of the spoon into my mouth while sending thanks to the grace of this other world and to the cook, Ai-Fa.

And I screamed.

"Unpleasant!".
