Part 1
W-what should we do now?
Woof?
Fugo.
We managed to hold off the attack by a girl named Yuti, who has the same Evil power and the same Holy technique as Master Usagi. The words of Master Usagi, who appeared as our helper, revealed that the Evil had tricked Yuti.
As a result, Yuti didnt attack us anymore, but Master Usagi told us to take care of her.
However, Yuti herself has been holed up in the room by herself to clear her mind, and she cant be approached for discussion. Well, Im sure a lot of things are messing up in her head right now
It cant be helped, Ill just do my daily training routine or something, and then Ill make some dinner.
Woof!
Fugo.
Night and Akatsuki also answered adorably, as if they agreed with my words.
Fuh! Fuh!
Before coming to the other world, I used to do general push-ups, sit-ups, back-ups, and squats, but I never lost weight for some reason. I didnt skip it, but I continued to do it every day
Its not just that Ive become more slender due to leveling up in the other world, but also that Ive suddenly gained muscle mass. Really, the other world is so strange.
After finishing the muscle training Ive been doing since before I came to the other world, I was training with Night when I suddenly felt a gaze other than Akatsukis. When I turned my eyes in that direction, I saw Yuti standing there.
So Night and I stopped our training once and called out to Yuti.
Um, whats up?
..
Im also confused by Yuti, who doesnt say anything when I call out to her, but.
Grroowwlll~~~~.
Suddenly, a sweet sound rang out. The sound comes from Yutis stomach.
Uhm could it be that youre hungry?
Mmm.
Yuti nods a little.
Indeed, Ive been moving since then, and Yuti just finished fighting me, too. Besides, its also lunchtime.
I understand. Im going to prepare a meal now, so just wait a bit.
..
Yuti nodded again at my words and quietly went back to her room. As I saw her off, I called out to Night and Akatsuki.
Well then, lets go make some food.
Woof.
Fugo.
However, this time Im tired from the battle with Yuti, so to be honest, its too much of a hassle to cook. But I need to eat something to get my strength up, and since Im hungry, I decided to make a simple pasta dish. Its just a matter of boiling it.
The pasta is indeed from the Earth. The sauce is also made by Japanese companies, so I am very grateful for the Earths or even Japanese food technology that makes it easy to eat delicious food.
Night and Akatsuki can eat the pasta just like me, or rather the human thing, so I prepare the same thing. Hmm thinking again, the other worlds monsters are still a little different from the creatures of Earth.
While thinking about this, the meat sauce pasta was successfully completed. Then, perhaps caught by the smell, Yuti came over before I could call out to her.
It smells good.
Eh? Oh, that dinner is ready, do you want some?
..Mmm.
Oh, by the way, hows your condition?
No problem.
I-I see.
She should have taken a decent hit from Master Usagis attack, but shes just fine. Thats amazing.
While surprised by Yutis reply, we sat down at the table.
Uhm then, itadakimasu.
Woof!
Buhi!
Mm? Itada, kimasu?
At my words, Yuti tilted her head, and then she tilted her head even more, when she saw the pasta placed in front of her.
Oh, dont Yuti and the others have a culture of saying itadakimasu and, come to think of it, you havent even seen pasta, too?
Affirmative. How do you eat it?
This is
I show her the gesture of eating while rolling up the pasta with the prepared fork, but Yuti is still tilting her head at it. Then, she nodded with some kind of conviction and, for some reason, offered me the fork.
I dont know. So, you feed me.
Huh?
I almost dropped my fork at the unexpected words. F-feed her, she said? I think I just showed her how to eat it.
I was always fed by my mentor. So, feed me?
What does she mean that she was fed all the time? No matter how much I think about it, its just wrong Shes not a baby anymore. Or was Yutis mentor that overprotective? Its a big difference from my masters. No, its just uncomfortable to be treated overprotectively by Master Usagi.
I cant help but be confused, but theres no sign of Yuti starting to eat it herself; she looks at me with pure eyes and opens her little mouth.
Aaann.
Ugh
I finally let Yuti, who by all appearances didnt seem to be eating herself, eat the pasta, losing my patience.
Here.
Mmmm!
Then Yutis eyes widen, and she looks at me in surprise.
Astonished. So delicious. Are you actually a chef?
N-no, not that kind of thing, but
Indeed if youre a chef, that strength is inexplicable. Its a wonder.
She looked at me curiously but continued to eat her pasta at the same pace, and I found that she finished it in no time.
It was delicious.
Thats good to hear.
Well, its a victory for my skills, or rather my corporate efforts.
With Yutis meal finished, Im about to start my own meal once again when Yuti looks at me with a serious expression on her face.
Hmm? Whats wrong?
Demand. Introduce yourself.
Eh.
Now? And youre just making some pretty crude demands!
I know youre a disciple of that Kicking Saint. But as for the rest, I dont know much about you.
Now that I am thinking about it
She attacked me out of the blue. From that point on, I didnt even have the air to introduce myself, so No, Id like to know what kind of mental structure you have if you can introduce yourself carefree in that situation.
Im Yuuya Tenjou. As you know, Im that Master Usagis disciple
Understood. Im Yuti. The disciple of the Bow Saint.
After I introduced myself, Yuti briefly said so too. And after other brief introductions, I ask her about the current situation where she cant postpone.
So, that has that made you feel better?
Complicated.
I see I was asked to talk to you by Master Usagi
As I was pondering how to explain it, Yutis face turned down slightly.
The one who killed master was human. But I never knew that there was an Evil behind it. Even now, I cant forgive the humans who killed my master. But if the Usagi story is true, then those humans are no longer around. So I will defeat the Evil that is the source of everything. Thats all.
..
When Yuti said that, she looked straight at me again.
Im not the one involved in taking revenge or anything like that, I wouldnt be able to say anything about it, and I wouldnt have the right to stop her, as well.
By the way, do you have any guesses as to where you will be going from now on?
No.
If thats the case, what can I do for her? I thought about it a lot, but being just a student, there was no way I could come up with a good idea, and I sighed heavily.
When I look up, I suddenly notice that Yutis outfit is covered in mud.
Ah she fainted after fighting us, and she stayed in the room as soon as she woke up. That means she doesnt have time to change clothes or anything. This would have been a good idea to prepare a bath for her before dinner
As I was thinking about that, I noticed Yuti looking down at her body.
Hmm? Whats going on?
Im covered in mud. Wish. I need to wash my body.
Oh I know you fought us and stayed in the same place. But instead of just washing up, why dont you take a bath?
? A bath? Question. Whats that?
Eh? You dont understand bathing, huh? But, you do understand washing your body, right?
Affirmation. I used to do that with my master.
If the waters warm, its a bath.
Understanding. Its interesting. Im going to take a bath or anything like that.
All right, well, Ill get it for you in a minute.
I could have used a portable open-air bath, but I didnt want to go out of my way to prepare one, so this time I prepared a regular bath at the Earth house.
Look, its ready.
Hmm.
Hmm?
Then, for some reason, Yuti raised her arms and looked at me.
? If I want to wash up, I need to take my clothes off.
Y-yeah, thats right.
Yuuya, undress me.
Why?
Shes going to take a bath, and she needs to take her clothes off. But Im not going to help her with that!
Am I wrong? Master, she always helped me to take it off.
Your master?
She isnt just overprotective! How far did she dote on her!
I dont know how old Yuti really is, but shes probably in middle school from the looks of her. And yet her master fed her and undressed her, was she going to let her stand on her own?
Be that as it may, its usually a bad idea for me to take off her clothes, so while I managed to convince Yuti, I took Yuti to the bathroom. When I explained about the shower and shampoo in the bathroom, Yutis eyes widened.
This place is full of strange tools. Are they all magic tools?
No, its not really a magical tool
Because when you twist this obscure thing, water comes out. Amazing.
I hadnt imagined it at all, but there would indeed be no such thing as a shower or faucet in the other world. Turning on a faucet to get water coming out is definitely a nice thing to have.
This soap is pretty impressive too. It certainly was more bubbly than the one my master used.
I-I see. Well, at least you know how to use it, right?
Yuti nodded quietly at my words.
Alright, then.
I will be in immediately.
Eeehh!?
Yuti took off her white dress on the spot despite my being present.
Hey, for someone who was talking about wanting help to take it off earlier, you can do it so easily! Wait, thats not the problem here!
Yutis actions froze me, but ignoring me, Yuti took off her clothes on the spot and went into the bathroom.
It was so shocking that I froze in place, but.
For now, lets do some laundry.
Normally I would have dithered over whether I, as a man, could wash a girls clothes, but after the tremendous shock I received earlier and the lack of replacement clothes, I mindlessly did the laundry.
As I started to run the washing machine, I felt even more mentally exhausted than I did when I fought with Yuti.
