v2c43 - Nora won't let go of me, and our customary self-introduction
“Nora. I spoke briefly earlier, but we are friends who live together in this land.”
“…… I’m Nora from the Squirrel Ears Tribe. I-I look forward to working with you.”
Nora, perhaps the shy type, clung to my back and only flashed her face to greet everyone.
I wonder if this is because she likes me, or is my body is being used as a tree because she’s a squirrel of the Beastmen tribe.
“My name is Ellie. By the way, Nora seems to be very attached to Alex, but how old are you?”
“Me? I’m fifteen, though?”
“…… Like us humans, you become adults at the age of fifteen, right? Then, Nora, you might want to hold off on hugging Alex – or any man – for a bit, don’t you think?”
“…… Big brother. Is it …… not okay?”
At Ellie’s words, Nora anxiously squeezed and asked in my ear.
She must be timid since she immediately ran away at first.
Perhaps the squirrel-eared race itself is timid, and once they get used to it, they will probably leave it alone, so I think it’s best to let them do what they want for a while.
Besides, since Nora uses both her arms and legs to hold onto me, there is no need for me to support her like a piggyback ride, and she’s light.
“Since the environment has suddenly changed, and there must be a lot of anxiety. Nora can do whatever she wants until she gets used to it.”
“…… Thank you, big brother.”
“Alex. Don’t tell me you actually the smaller one …… no, it’s nothing.”
After Ellie was about to say something…
“Kuh …… She not only has animal ears, but she also addresses herself with Boku!…… Now that it comes to this, we should get him before she does. Get it done before this girl does ……”
Monica is whispering something, but I wonder it is?
Ellie is nodding along with her, but rather than that, introduction first.
“Can Monica introduce herself to Nora too?”
“Ahem …… I’m Monica. You may think you’re better off with a little smaller chest, but I’m going to show you how a 20 year old woman fights like no girl ever has!”
“…… Big brother. What is Ms. Monica saying? I don’t know what she’s talking about.”
Don’t worry. I don’t know what Monica is talking about either.
“Well, as you can see, Monica is a maid. But she’s also a Magic Knight, which is a combat position, so I guess that means she’s in charge of the fighting too? …… maybe.”
“As you can see? …… the maids I know don’t show their boobs, do they?”
“That’s just because …… Monica got the clothes in the wrong size, isn’t it? I don’t think a woman would expose their breasts on their own.”
“I know, right. My mom says people like that are perverts.”
Mom, huh? I don’t know how long Nora has been enslaved, but I hope I can let her see her again soon.
“…… Ms. Pervert is–excuse me, Ms. Titty Girl, why did you buy those clothes?”
“…… Kuh. B-Because I’m a maid.”
“…… I see. I see. So you’re a perverted maid.”
Lydia and Monica are whispering something, but I wonder what is it?
I can only hear parts of it, but it sounds like they are talking about clothes …… and why she didn’t try on the clothes before buying them.
“Then, next is Lydia. Please introduce yourself.”
“Yes, I’m Lydia. I, Lydia, am in charge of food, drinking water, and water for washing and bathing for everyone living here. I will be taking care of Ms. Nora as well, so if you need anything, please don’t hesitate to tell me, not the fake maid from earlier.”
“F-Fake …… I am a maid who serves my master, body, soul, and at night!”
As Lydia gave Monica a cold look…
“So Ms. Lydia is everyone’s mother!”
“Hmph……… everyone’s–the Master’s mother. After all, I’m the one in the wife position …….”
“I-I’m only 160 years old! I’m only sixteen years old in human terms!”
The two of them started to argue about something.
Well, I don’t think they are really fighting, so I’ll leave them alone.
…… Sometimes Monica seems to be seriously frightened, though.
“Then, Nina is last! Nina is fourteen, so she’s the closest to you in age, so please get along well!”
“What? Nina is fourteen years old!? But didn’t you say that she has a job and are an adult?”
“I’m an adult! Dwarves are given jobs at the age of thirteen and become adults.”
“I didn’t know that. So they give jobs at different ages depending on their race.”
Well, Lydia said earlier that she was the equivalent of 16 years old at 160 years old.
If all races are given jobs at the age of 15, then the human equivalent would be one and a half years old.
“W-What!? Wait a minute! Nina, you’re an adult!?”
“Yes, I am! Didn’t I tell Ellie? Nina is an adult, and I can even get married.”
“Ma- …… Marriage!? B-but, from the looks of it, you haven’t done that yet, right?”
“What’s that thing?”
“Like I said, make a child …… Ah, I-It’s nothing!”
I don’t know what Ellie was trying to say, but for the time being, the customary(?) self-introductions were successfully completed.
