Too surprised by the countryside!

“…… It’s a ceiling I don’t know”

After saying one of the best 30 lines she always wanted to say, The awaken Mitsuha vaguely thought.

(This is…)

If I recall, I mysteriously appeared in a forest, exhausted, then found a path…And now I’m sleeping in a bed I don’t know, and I’m looking at the ceiling I don’t know. The furniture and furnishings in this wooden hut are shabby, but they are neatly organized and clean so there is a feeling of cleanliness.

(Am I safe? No, someone saved me)

Her mind wasn’t completely clear and Mitsuha had something to do in a hurry anyway before thinking things out.

“Water! Someone give me water and something to eat!!”Yes, it was a request for food and drink.

Patapata. With hurried footsteps, the door of the room was opened, and a lovely girl about ten years old with silver hair and blue pupils wearing simple clothes comes in.

“ーーー,ーーーーー！”\n

The girl shouts happily with a smiling face, but unfortunately I do not understand what you are saying at all.

(Oh, it’s a foreigner. Also looks like she’s not an English speaker).She was prepping for a college entrance exam so naturally, she can tell if it’s English or not.(It doesn’t seem like Japanese, English, Chinese, Korean, German or French at least…)

From the girl’s appearance, I wouldn’t think this is somewhere in Asia.Anyway, I want water and food, we can communicate later. My throat is tingling and it is also painful to talk. That’s why I’ll skip trying useless communication methods! Mitsuha gives up on having a conversation and instead suddenly starts gesturing. The gesture of holding a cup with both hands and drinking water, moving the hands from mouth to throat to stomach. How’s that, it’s common in all the world, even monkeys would understand!… It’s impolite what to call a person from the house that may have helped me a monkey.

“ーー、ーーー！”

The girl talks about something while smiling, moved her neck vertically and then left the room. Okay, it got though probably! …I think.

… It was fine. A few minutes later, the girl along with a woman having the same eyes and the hair color who seemed the girl’s mother came with a water pitcher and a wooden cup, along with porridge in a cup also made of wood similar to the earlier one. Thanking them, I receive the water and drink it all at once.

“Puha ~ ~, I’m Reviveddd~ ~”

Finally feeling comfortable, Mitsuha put power into her body and turned his head towards her mother and daughter, lowered her head, and thanked them.

“Thank you very much for your help.”

No, I know that the words will not be understood, but that they were words of gratitude should be conveyed. \nThe mother was surprised for a moment to hear words she didn’t understand, but then she smiled with a big grin on her face.Okay, I said thank you, next is food, food!

What seemed like a porridge was boiled with thinly sliced bread put in thin milk, it feels like it would be call bread porridge. It is gentle to the stomach, seems nutritious and warms the body up. Yep, that’s the best food for me right now. To bring it to me at once, she probably has it prepared to be available at any time.

(It’s a nice person ~ !!)Alright, if I return safely, let’s give plenty of thanks! After all, they saved my life.

After filling the stomach with a hot meal and going to the restroom she became sleepy again, although she doesn’t know whether if fainting and sleeping are different. This time she truly slept resting her heart.

“…It’s a ceiling that I know”

Yes, it’s the second time I have seen the wood grain of this ceiling.The pleasant awakening that made me feel refreshed, I guess I was able to really rest my body this time. The small cut on my limbs and the muscle pain of my foot still hurt though.

(Um, What should I do…)

This house is roughly near that wide forest. At first, I thought it was a mountain hut, but it seems like a normal house… That means here is equivalent to a country village?. Probably for the time being I need to head to a townish place to contact an embassy. Oh, is there a phone or something like that here?When I was thinking about raising my body on top of the bed, the door was gently opened to make a small gap, and then a silver-haired head peeked in. It seems to be the little girl from before. She probably felt the signs that Mitsuha had awoke and came to see the situation. What sharp senses. As expected from people living with nature!When she saw Mitsuha awake, the girl came rushing to the bed with a big smile on her face. And Bosun, she jumped into Mitsuha body without stopping.

“Gue!” \nUntil I recover completely, I’ll do chores in return for staying here for a while, I will prepare food and water then head for town. I will send something as repayment for their help after returning home. That all there is to do.
