Chapter 134

ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー

I felt like it had been a long time since I last came to Resta. I had purchased a thick and long fur coat from Sarasa for me to use in the winter and now I was sitting next to Yurina-san, drinking distilled liquor diluted with water.

By the way, the water was produced with a water dagger that I had given to Yurina-san. She was very happy with the water dagger because clean water with high purity was regarded as something valuable here. Since it was a secret that I was the one who made it, I pretended that I had bought it from Margo’s store. 

Communicating with her was the same as how I communicated with Margo and Sarasa. It was actually good that we couldn’t converse smoothly. Even if I was acting egoistic, I at least didn’t need to worry that I’d upset her with my words. After all, humans tend to make careless remarks and act snobbish after drinking alcohol. Because of that, I didn’t like to go drinking with someone I had only met for the first time or with a friend that I still couldn’t let my guard down with. 

But I didn’t speak the same language as the people from this world. Hence, I could drink without feeling worried. It felt amazing being like this. In fact, I think it was not necessary for me to fully understand the language of this world. After all, I could know the emotions of the person I talked to just from the mood between us. 

Yurina-san seemed to be a very calm person. I had never seen her feel upset or sad. 

…..Though I didn’t want to see her feel upset, let alone sad. 

If I appraised the written Japanese characters, the appraisal would show the Japanese character in Lancaster language so communication through writing was possible between us. However, communicating through writing was surprisingly difficult to do. I only communicated with her through writings when I couldn’t understand her intention even after she explained it to me with words or gestures. 

Actually, I had been communicating with her with a mixture of words and gestures since a while ago but I still couldn’t grasp the details of it. Well, it was good like this though. Neither of us could hurt each other with our drunken remarks. I couldn’t help but to feel that talking with her felt very, very comfortable. 

I wonder why?

I stared at Yurina-san’s face from the side as she moved her hands slowly to make my drink. Suddenly, I was reminded of the feeling I felt when I was warming myself by the fireplace in my cabin. And at the same time, I felt upset at the thought of the things Yurina-san had to do with another man and the excessive body touching she had to do since she was working in a bar in another world. 

I couldn’t really express the feelings I felt right now with words.
