Isekai Ryouridou 021

"Hee...So this is Ruu family's headquarters huh."

I unintentionally let out a voice of admiration.

Ruu main house is about 1 hour from Ai Fa's house, I guess from the sun's location, it's located at where the sun goes down.

There are no big building that stand out.

But there are many buildings build closer than anywhere I have seen instead.

Of course it's still built with enough s.p.a.ce, though the surplus can still be seen, the differences was obvious compared to other houses.

In the center, there is a s.p.a.ce like a yellow painted plaza.

It's about half school ground area.

There are 7 wooden houses lined up surrounding it.

As for the size, it's about 2 times larger than Ai Fa's home.

Even if there are a 13 people from a big family, this many house should be unnecessary.

"....The one that will succeed the house is the patriarch, so his brothers will marry a women and then pick a nearby place from the main house. Those many houses are those brothers home."

Ai Fa explained it to me like that while holding a 5 kg giba thigh meat that was carefully wrapped with rubber tree leaves.

While also carrying a 5 kg shoulder roast the same way, I nod and said "I see, I see."

"So, what is this open s.p.a.ce in the middle? It's a s.p.a.ce that can hold at least an athletic meeting somewhat."

"Athletic meeting?... This is a place for funeral and wedding ceremony. If you gather people that is related to Ruu family even a little, well it will probably not less from a 100 people."

Among the 500 people of Morihen, 1/5 of them are people with connection to Ruu Family huh.

Well, in other words, it's only a village with 500 people, if there are no people from the outside, this village will be full of blood connected relatives in no time.

"Let's stop the idle talk, let's go." following Ai Fa that began to advance, I also step into the square.

When we reached the center of the square, a small shadow came running from the middle building of the seven.

"Ai Fa! Asuta! Welcome to Ruu house! You are really really early!

Of course, it's Rimi Ruu.

By the way, currently it's still midway for the sun to set.

According to my feeling, it's around 3 o'clock in the afternoon.

"There are many things that I want to do, so is it okay if I begin now?"

"Un! Then I will take care of guest's steel."

Ai Fa silently presents large and small knifes.

I didn't thought about this so I was a bit panic for a moment.

"Hey, Rimi Ruu. I want to cook with my own knife, is it a bad thing after all?"

"Hm? If it's meat cutting knife, we got many though?"

"No, I mean my knife is specially made."

Then, I took the santoku knife that I put on my waist like in yakuza movies.

By the way, right now I am also wearing the colorful vest on top of my t-shirt, waist belt, white shoes, and a white towel on my head. It is an extremely hybrid get-up.

To tell you the truth, I wanted to try the white clothing that chefs were proud of, but after many considerations, that kind of clothing is too foreign, so I decided on this clothes.

Rimi Ruu tilts her small head while observing the santoku knife I held with curious eyes. “Hmm”

“Then Rimi Ruu will take care of it until we get to the kitchen range! I can’t guide you through the house If I can’t keep an eye out on the steel after all.”

I breathe a relieved breath and gave her the santoku knife and the small knife.

Rimi Ruu who received 4 swords that consist of 1 long sword, 2 small swords, and 1 santoku knife, while holding them with both of her hands graciously said, “This way please!”

Now then, whether an oni or a serpent will appear, I let out my spirit to challenge face to face the Ruu family members. But the ones that appeared from the house’s entrance and back...were all ladies.

I see. All the men are out in the forest at this time.

6 women that have avoided me for a long time lined up in a row with a little shoulder s.p.a.cing before Ai Fa.

“I brought the guests! Ai Fa and Asuta from Fa family!”

6 pair of eyes sparkle with curiosity without hesitation.

It’s an unexpected thing to happen for me since I was ignored politely for these 5 days.

It’s a concentrated fire of gaze.

Because It’s a family of 13 people, so it’s not strange that half of them are women.

However, it was somewhat overwhelming.

3 married women wearing a single long cloth.

3 unmarried women that tied their hair that is extended to their chest or waist.

[TL note: This is the link to the ill.u.s.tration. havent figured out how to post images directly here : http://imgur.com/wcEP3oa ]

One is an old woman, but she probably isn’t grandma Jiba. She has a plump figure and standing energetically now. Furthermore, she smelled strongly of fat somehow.

The other is a middle-aged woman, she is probably the same generation as my parents. She also has a really well rounded and very tall body. She gives the feeling of a strong and firm mother.

And――the rest are young women, mostly.

There are 2 women that seem older than me.

One of them is wearing long cloth while hugging a small little baby. But, both of them are probably around 20 years old.

Besides them, there is 1 girl that seems to be around the same age as me, and 1 that seems younger than me.

With them, it’s 6 people.

Well, it’s 8 people if Rimi Ruu and the baby is included though.

“That person is grandma t.i.to Min, next to her is mother, Mia Rei, besides her is Brother Jiza’s wife, Sati Rei with her baby Kota.  Then Vina older sister, Reina older sister, and Rara older sister!”

“Oi oi, to be introduced with all of them at once….” My heart bounced.

“.....Oi, just now, did you said Reina?”

“Yes?”

It was the girl that is around the same age as me that tilted her head curiously.

She has an unusual black hair that is tied on two sides like pigtails among the people of Morihen.

Her figure is small and little, she looks innocent and look like Rimi Ruu a bit….and as expected she has a dark skin and blue eyes.

(....That’s right. What am I thinking.)

This girl has the same name as my childhood friend by chance.

However, she doesn’t look like Reina at all. Reina had a more childish look and short haired, she can’t be said as a beauty yet at this point. Well, she has a lovely face like a small animal though.The only thing that can be said similar is their body figure that is only about my shoulder.

“Sorry. It’s nothing. I just reacted because you have the same name as my acquaintance.”

“Oh. Did you knew fellow countrywoman that has the same name as me?”

Again, she smiles innocently just like Rimi Ruu.

Ah――That kind of laughing might be similar to Reina. Or rather, perhaps because Reina is innocent and childish for her age, that part of her probably is similar to this girl and Rimi Ruu.

“...Fa family Ai Fa and this man is a family member Asuta. Today as Rimi Ruu wished, we came to be entrusted with Ruu family’s kitchen range.”

And with a slightly stiffer voice than usual, Ai Fa let out a proclaiming voice like that.

The old woman that let out smell of fat responded with a soft and thick voice that matches with her appearance. “Welcome, Fa family’s Ai Fa and Asuta.”

“Ruu family welcomes you, Rara, take care of the hunter’s clothes.”

“Eeh~? Me!?” The youngest girl besides Rimi Ruu let out a discontented voice.

No, even though her age is probably around 13 or 14. Her height may be taller than the Reina girl just now.

She looks obstinate like a boy, and although she has thin hand and feet, it feels like her body is more toned than the other ladies. Her hair has a brighter red shade than Rimi Ruu and her eyes are brilliant blue like the sea.

While reluctantly moving forward, the girl named Rara received the fur cloak from Ai Fa. The grandma that is named t.i.to Min smiled.

“Since I wanted to use the kitchen range earlier, I also want to finish squeezing the fat as soon as possible. The other was optional. Well, the one that was supposed to handle the kitchen range was....”

“Rimi and grandma t.i.to Min, and Reina older sister!”

“That’s right. Rimi and I and also Reina will help you.”

“Yes. Thank you very much.”

I was probably disappointed.

Even though I enthusiastically entered enemy territory, the people here is actually――What is it, everyone is gentle and very friendly.

Even the red haired girl that has a “This is not fun” face just now are smiling with everyone. The differences is obvious compared to the people at the water source and roadside.

They are really easy going even though they are with Ai Fa that once refused marriage request from the head Donda Ruu  and me who is a strange foreigner (actually someone from different world).

“Hey...Before that, I want to confirm one thing…”

And then a strangely seductive voice is heard.

Young but older than me, it’s the woman that doesn’t hold a baby.

Her chestnut colored hair is tied on the right side. Her clothes that only hides her chest and waist, also unnecessarily give a s.e.xy vibe.

“Fa family’s Asuta, you are born in a foreign country right? And yet, you never said your origins, Is there anything with it?”

“No, I am not particularly hiding it.”

I talked about it with Ai Fa early in this case.

I don’t know what kind of stance should I make, since I don’t have any proof about myself. Because there are not many choices, I had nothing to worry about.

“It seems like the country I was born wasn’t known in this place….My birthplace is a country called j.a.pan.”

This is the way that Ai Fa and I talked about, it was “speak honestly.”

“About 5 days ago from now, I woke up at the forest near the foot of morga mountain. But I don’t have any clue as to why I woke up there. The people here also didn’t know about j.a.pan and I also never heard of the continent of Amusuhorun. Nevertheless, I can properly convey my words. It’s a situation I don’t understand at all.”

If I lied, everything will be exposed someday.

And in an unlikely event if there are someone with a similar circ.u.mstances in this world, I may end up missing them.

That’s why I, revealed my ident.i.ty without knowing what I don’t know.

It’s just, “I should have been dead but I was reborn in this world.” that point should especially be covered is a consensus I reached with Ai Fa.

"Fuun....a foreigner, that doesn't know amusuhorun? someone like that in the middle of the continent, ne...?

Her strange way of talking and also her flirtatious glance, she is a really sensational elder sister. However, to show doubts about it means that she is surprisingly the most vigilant among them, her head rotation maybe fast huh, I decided to write it in the memo pad in my heart.

"Even I don't know anything more than that. And then, I met Ai Fa inside the forest, I caused many troubles for her. Well, it's probably because she is worried that a man like me that don't know anything about Morihen's rules is dangerous to be left alone."

"Hee...You were really such a niche girl huh, Fa family's Ai Fa. I thought you were only interested in Giba hunting like the men."

It was not a particularly malicious thing to be said, but it was provocative enough to make Ai Fa frown.

Of course Ai Fa just gave a sidelong glance without trying to answer anything, the elder sister laughs "ufufu".

"Well, anyway, I am looking forward for today ok? Besides, you guys came here for your important grandma jiba right? Father has a discontent face somehow, but all of us welcome you, we are also thankful for it. That is true ok?"

"Haa. I am grateful." To me that ended up giving a stupid reply, this time she press her fingertips to her plump lips and make a giggling voice.

Are you not satisfied if your gesture are not accompanied with s.e.x appeal?

"...I am Vina. Ruu Family's eldest sister. The second eldest sister is the black haired Reina, the third sister is the red haired Rara, and the youngest sister Rimi. I will introduce my brothers when they come back from the forest."

That smooth arm with good fat proportions now pointed at the elder women.

"The one helping you right now, is the previous generation's patriarch wife, t.i.to Min...That means she is our grandmother. Next to her is our mother that is Donda Ruu's wife, Mia Rei. And Sati rei is eldest brother Jiza's spouse and his son Kota. The one you try to help, Jiba great grandmother is asleep inside the house...Please take care of us, Ai Fa's Fa family member, Asuta."
