Chapter 6 \n<h1>06 Mitsuha, leaving the village</h1>\n

While thinking so, Colette-chan woke up.Oh no, it became a quite a commotion. Colette-chan hugging and screaming, unable to avoid the bear hug Mitsuha is tapping Colette-chan’s shoulder while screaming, and the surprised parents jumping into the room…….

“Stop it, stop, it hurts, it hurts, it hurt, it’ll breakk~!”Finally, Colette-chan’s clasp relaxed with Mitsuha’s cry. Then Colette-chan yells after immediately noticing.“Mi, Mitsuha, wo, words!“The parents are also stunned.However there’s no need to worry, she properly thought of a reason.

“Colette-chan, thank you so much for everything. It seems the memories I’ve lost have come back, and I remember these words I have studied from my country… ”“I’m glad, I’m glad, Mitsuha!”Colette-chan clings to Mitsuha and sobs. Parents are tearful as well while nodding.Nice people right~

Collett-chan finally calmed down, then it came, the information exchange time.About my situation, I gave as little information as possible because a more detailed story would fall apart. For now, I had to leave my home country for some reason and came to this continent by ship. No, I don’t know if this country faces the sea, so I can’t say it to this country.

So, I was separated from those with me after being attacked by a herd of the beasts, and I can’t remember after that very well. Something like I was sleeping in this house when I came to.I did not use the word nobility because I do not understand the class system here, but I talked to seem like a person clearly with a status.I wondered if they buy it, but while they seemed a little surprised, there wasn’t much of a change in attitude. Well, if you come to think about it, my original clothes were obviously not that of a farmer’s. The nobility of their country aside, it might be that it doesn’t matter if you’re a noble from another country. Well, maybe they just don’t understand.

Next is my turn to ask questions. I obtain information about what happened afterward.\n

First, it seems that five days have passed since that day. Of course Colette-chan would be worried. I don’t know whether it is simply because of shock and fatigue or because of the operation. Well, I don’t care which.

The cleaver, slingshot, and the other things, it seems that everything is collected properly. You have my gratitude. And about the beast, it seems just “wolf” was fine after all, everything was collected, it’s fangs, fur, then made into meat. Although it seems to have been shared and eaten by the villagers because the meat would spoil, the fangs and the fur have been processed and left aside. And they can pay for eating the meat. That’s all right.

But, well, everyone in the village is saying that with good intentions because they think I’m broke, maybe I should obediently receive it. The fangs and the fur got sold. It seems the villagers are pretty grateful that danger was annihilated before any damage was done to them. Well of course, it’s natural considering their wives and children have been killed.[1] Colette-chan was definitely out if she were alone.

But annihilated, it surely was annihilation in that place, but don’t wolves live in packs? Also, if there are kids then isn’t there a father as well?A lot of questions remain, but if the locals judge so, it should be fine. The wolves here might have such a habit. Like the mother wolf goes out on a trip with the children for training, or it is divorced and was in the middle of taking the children to the parents’ house. Well, that doesn’t matter.

Afterward, I’ve heard a lot about this country. The value of money, the nearby towns, the capitals, questions their level of civilization can answer, etc….Rural farmers didn’t know much, but at the very least I think that I managed to obtain about half of the “common sense of a rural farmer in this country”.[2]But I just want to say one thing.How is Colette-chan more knowledgeable than her parents?

Three days since waking up. I went out for a walk after pushing back the worry wart Colette-chan.Things seemed to have been pretty bad when I was carried to the village, and Colette-chan who had seen my injuries and left arm seemed to have been frantic. Thanks to “that”, the wound is much better and there is hardly any pain.Well, it was hard to persuade Colette-chan who insist on coming along by making up various reasons to go out alone. It’s a problem if I’m not alone, really.After looking back over and over again to make sure Collett-chan who went out to pick wild vegetables isn’t there, and checking many times to see if there’s anyone else around, I teleported to my home on Earth.

Wow. So many phone calls.Well, I guess they were worried because I couldn’t contact them.I have to reply to all the people who emailed me.Next, I looked at the mailbox. All kinds of infrastructural bills were paid automatically, so no problem. I have to go to the police box and report my safely. Many people helped me during the matter with my uncle’s family and the bad guys, so they may be worried about me being away for such a long time. Next thing to do is…….\nMitsuha took a bath for the first time in a while, changed out of her worn clothes, and took care of various errands. The clothes she wore were not going to be washed here were and left as is to wear them again when returning. Even if she does some shopping, she couldn’t take it to the other side. The Mitsuha that appeared was empty-handed without any luggage. Well, just endure until leaving the village.

Mitsuha went back to the village much earlier than evening but was persistently asked what she was doing by Colette-chan who had already returned. Colette-chan came back too soon! …Well, She might have finished early because she was worried about Mitsuha.[3]

Mitsuha has completely forgotten. Um, about the men who messed with Mitsuha at the cape.At that time, there was a loud scream and the old and young couples could firmly see the place where Mitsuha was pushed off the cliff. The four people wanted to avoid involvement, but the story is different indeed when it comes to witnessing a murder. The scream of the young woman echoed while the young man photographed the men on his cell phone. The old man called the police on his cell phone, while the old lady photographed the men’s car. What a combination…….The panicked men scream things like “I didn’t know!” and “It’s not my fault!”, and got in the car and drove away, but with so many witnesses and photographs there was no way to escape and was they were caught immediately.

The criminals were quickly caught and there were plenty of witnesses so the investigation into this murder was expected to be settled quickly but soon run into trouble. The victim’s body couldn’t be found. There was a missing person survey into nearby disappearances, but no applicable person was found. Because the investigation’s target was elementary school students and middle school students, the investigation’s search ruled out Mitsuha from the start.Multiple witnesses and a confession of the culprit. But the victim remains unknown with no body.The hardship of the police continues.

The men got what they deserve. Without that coincidence, Mitsuha would have surely died. Although she was saved in the end, that is only the result and a coincidence at that. The men have “attempted murder”, so there is no problem in them receiving a reasonable punishment. If you leave it alone they will just repeat the same thing over and inconvenience many people.

Mitsuha had stopped taking the newspaper after her family died. It is because television and the internet are enough for her alone. Also, disposal of the quickly accumulating newspapers was troublesome, in the first place it’s a security concern that the mailbox is in full view of passer-bys and when papers get thrust halfway in, it becomes known to an unknown number of people that they were uncollected from the absence of the household.

So when the incident was picked up in the news it wasn’t sent here, even though being home for several hours this time Mitsuha didn’t have the opportunity to find out because after replying to her emails she did not have time for television and web surfing, it will no longer show on TV news programs or be featured on internet news the next time she returns home.In the end, Mitsuha never knew about this incident nor did she remember those men.

It’s almost time.Seven days since returning back home. The injury has long since been healed, it was hard work to make sure no one finds out that it healed without a trace. The wolf’s fangs and furs were also gladly bought by the villagers. They seem to have sold for a bit high, but the cubs’ fur with less damage seems to have been a good deal. Furthermore, a middleman sold it to a town.…There was an exchange with the town.\n\n So the women and children go into the forest to gather and the men farm in this village? MC trying to understand common sense-chan!  Another sentence from the first person but by neither of the characters, is the alien part of Mitsuha the one narrating? I can see her accidentally crashing into her room.  Keikaku dōri!
