Prologue
“Uwaaa! I’onna be killed!”
Really, what the heck was that!
When I carass plain, and I was is
Isn’t this too much of a development?
Furtherressive savage dogs Their ears were standing straight, and they had a sharp glint in their eyes, were they dobermans?
They had long brown fur, and were unbelievably big, supersized big dogs that had an overall length of over onely wild Their teeth weren’t nor wolf
They were almost like, monsters
It wasn’t just one either, it was a pack, so there was no helping it
While I was running, I found a tree branch that happened to be there; I grabbed it and swung it like a wooden sword, not that a weapon like this would help anyway
After fus
“shi+t!”
I resolvedout a brave shout, I shrieked and swung at the dog withintree branch, the dogs backed away and opened up a path
Good, I thought, and dashed out of there like a startled bunny
Alas, that was a trap by the pack of dogs After being chased for a while and running out of stamina, I was bitten, with a chomp, from behind
“Aaagh!”
Fro, I understood that I was bitten around the ankle Even though the sharp teeth stuck deep into , somehow I didn’t feel any pain
Even thoughlike crazy, I was extre felt incredibly hot, but thanks to the thick jeans, the teeth didn’t reach bone
Rather than the wound, the proble, and I couldn’t pullout even if I tried
Together with the running momentum, it made me tumble and roll forward
I rolled once and slaround
I lay sprawled onextre in the silent world, could be heard
I thought to myself that it was true that when you were about to die, everything would be in slowbeforeso, I felt the weight of a big dog sla onto my chest
Even though I didn’t feel any pain when I was bitten on the ankle, the weight of the dog that jumped ontoconsciousness shi+t, don’t joke withdidn’t jump on me to joke around
It didn’t jump on me to break my bones - my whole body will now be masticated, and I’ll be killed That is very scary, I don’t want that
The dogjaw as it prepared to eat my face
‘Aaagh’, my pathetic scream leaked out
The slowat the red ,else I could do
A lot of sharp, white teeth, ah, it has a decayed tooth beyond saving
‘Haha, The last thing I see before I die is a dog’s decayed tooth’, I thought to hed
Even though I was going to be shredded by the dog, I laughed at such a thing, maybe I had lost it already
Aaah, I don’t wanna to see ave up, and closed my eyes
─Thud
So on one
Aaah, I guess I died
I thought I didn’t want to feel pain, but I guess dying wasn’t all that painful At least that was nice
Nevertheless, it was strange that I didn’t feel anything at all As I thought, ‘don’t tell me it was all just a drearass and the wide blue sky
The sky was a deep blue color, like it had been painted I’ve never seen a blue sky this beautiful There were soh moon was beautiful I was still alive
Now that I think about it, where is this? Even if I asked, there was no answer
My half asleep consciousness was brought back to reality by the intense pain
“It hurts, more like, IT HUUURTS!”
I trembled at the pain froer and tried to get up, I saw a sea of blood
I forgot to screaot to cover up the wound on my ankle I was stupefied and just stared at the terrible spectacle
There was tooon, so my brain short-circuited
Lying around were a bunch of corpses of the big dogs, covered in blood due to being chopped up by soed tool Rather than corpses, they were already just chunks of meat
I snapped out of it, looked at my own hand, and saw that it was dyed with dark red blood My blood…… not, it was the blood of the dead dog beside me
It was the dog that had been on top of my body, it had a knife stuck in its head, which had been split open, and its pink brainout Of course, it had co already
Then, a little further away, I found the last living dog lying on its back, showing its belly to show complete submission, and a fee sabre
‘Kyuiin’, the dog shrieked softly as it died instantly
The pack of dogs that was about to kill me until just now had all been killed by the female warrior?
“Are you okay?”
“Haa, wellsomehow”
The feht equipment comprised of just a thick leather jacket and black fustian (soht and easy to move equipment were ihly designed, dull-looking sabre was enough for
Wait…I accepted that fact like normal, but what, female warrior?
Was it Western RPG cosplay? No, as if it was sos with the sabre
The leather armor, sabre, and the knife too, they were all real If that was so, then…
“What’s wrong? Is e?”
“No, that was…”
Red hair that was brighter than fresh blood reached down to her shoulders, casually tied up in a high ponytail that aying a little Her build was larger than the average woman’s She was slender, but her lean muscles looked sharp, like a draord It was a very nice figure
Her finely chiseled features, characteristic of a Westerner, looked very beautiful to the japanese e, was probably around the mid-twenties
i
She was an incredibly beautiful oneesan If it was the norhly already Maybe I would have even flattered her with so like ‘You are very beautiful’
If only she wasn’t holding her naked, specialized sword, and didn’t have any blood on her despite s
Even though I felt bad, since she had rescued ruesos that attacked me
“Can you stand?”
“I’h”
This is bad, the ankle where the dog bit me hurts so much
ジーパンの分厚い布がビリビリに破れて、血がズボンの上にジワーと広がってきてる。
The thick cloth ofout over my pants
かなり傷が深く血が止まらないようだ。裂けた肉を見ただけで、気分が悪くなってきた。
The wounds were rather deep and blood wouldn't stop flowing Just seeing the torn flesh made me feel ill
「私でも手当ぐらいならできるが、この傷はもう回復ポーションを使ったほうがいいか」
”I can give medical treatment, but wouldn't it be better to use a recovery potion for this kind of wound?”
「回復ポーション？」
”Recovery potion?”
ビックリする俺に、何を驚いているんだと笑って、戦闘前に投げ捨てたらしいリュックサックを拾ってくる。戦士のお姉さんは、その袋の中から青い色の薬瓶を取り出すと、俺に渡してくれた。
I was surprised and she s?” as she picked up the backpack she had throay before the fight The warrior nee-san took out a vial of blue potion froave it to me
回復ポーションって初めて見たよ。ファンタジーだよ。からかわれているわけじゃないよね。
I've never seen a recovery potion before, you know It's fantasy, you know She's notfun of me, is she?
「どうした、遠慮せずに飲め、元気になるぞ。その足じゃお前は動けないだろうし、ここから街までは結構あるからな」
”What's wrong? Don't worry, just drink it It'll make you feel better You can't move with that foot after all, and it's quite a distance to town from here”
「ありがとうございます」
”Thank you very much”
それだけ言うとお姉さんは、ナイフを取り出して黙々と転がっている犬の死体を解体する作業にかかりだした。
After saying all that, the onee-san took out a knife and began to work on dis around
俺は、少しためらいつつも、もらった青い液体を飲み干す。
I hesitated for a bit, but downed all of the blue liquid she gave me
少しほろ苦い味がして、身体に薬効が広がる。
The liquid had a slightly bitter taste and it spread out inside my body
破れたジーパンの裾は戻らないが、深い傷口はほとんど塞がっていた。命は助かったし、ホッと一息もつけたけど。
My ripped up pants didn't go back to how they were, but the deep wounds closed alh of relief
次々に殺した犬の腹を切り裂いては、ホカホカと湯気を立てている内臓を取り出しているお姉さんを見て、俺はだんだんと絶望的な気持ちになっていた。
As I watched the oneesan cut up the dead dogs’ sto entrails, I felt more and more hopeless
もうここが日本のどっかの田舎だなんて勘違いはしない。
I can no longer think that I'm somewhere in rural japan anymore
地球上では見たことない、凶暴なデカイ犬の化物[モンスター]。それを鮮やかに殺して見せた女戦士。そして、傷を治す回復ポーション。
Seeing fiendishly large dogs never seen before on Earth, and a female warrior skillfully kill them all, as well as a recovery potion that heals wound—
これは、本格的にファンタジー世界だぞ。しかも、よりにもよってとびきり残酷でリアルなやつだ。
This was an honest-to-goodness fantasy world, and of all things, an incredibly harsh and realistic one at that, too
●
日本で平凡な大学生をやっていたはずの俺が、気がついたら異世界ファンタジー世界に飛ばされていた。
I, who should have been a nore student in japan, had been tossed into a fantasy world before I knew it
俗に言う、異世界トリップ。とりあえず、この世界を酷幻想[リアルファンタジー]と名づけてみる。
It's the thing they call an Otherworld Trip For now, I' this world a Real Fantasy world
隠れオタクである俺は、幻想物語[ファンタジー]にはちょっと詳しい。
As a closet otaku, I was a little knowledgeable about fantasy stories
この手の古典については、指輪をめぐる戦争から始まって、呪われた島の戦記までしっかり読み込んでいる。近年の異世界ファンタジーも、召喚、転生、転移の別け隔てなくきちんと予習済み。
I had thoroughly read the classics of these sorts of stories, fro to the annals of a cursed island As for recent otherworld fantasies, I was also well versed in su any over the other
使い魔として召喚されたり、ゲーム世界に飛ばされたり、変わったところでは、ＶＲＭＭＯに閉じ込められて仮想世界から出られなくなった近未来ＳＦファンタジーなんてのもある。そこら辺は数え上げると切りがないが、ラノベ読みとしての知識を駆使して、現状を断定する。
There were also recent SF fantasy stories where they were suaot locked in VRMMOs and were unable to leave the virtual world These ones were too nuht novels, I could deduce my current situation
これはゲーム世界でも、お手軽ファンタジーでもなく、古典的なハイファンタジーの世界だと！
This is not a gah fantasy world!
これがゲームの世界なら、お姉さんに斬り殺された犬型モンスターは、一瞬で『野犬の肉』とか、『野犬の皮』とか、ドロップアイテムに変わっていたはずだ。
If this were a ga monsters, they would have ipelt]
そうだったら、どれほど良かったことか。
I would have been really glad if that were the case
しかし、眼の前には真っ赤な血の海が広がり、戦士のお姉さんに内臓を取り出されて皮を剥がれている犬の死体は、吐き気を催すほどリアルでグロテスクな有様を晒している。
However, a deep red sea of blood spread before utted and skinned were nauseatingly real and grotesque
つまりこれは、分かりやすいレベル制とか、便利な魔法とか、ご都合主義なプレイヤーチートとか、お手軽ファンタジーに有りがちな救済は期待できないってことを意味する。
Thislike an easily understood level system, convenient player cheats, or any help like you would find in an easy fantasy
むしろ、油断すると一瞬で死ぬ。
On the contrary, I could die froence
厳しい世界なのだ。
It's a harsh world
