Chapter 2 (2/2)

Let’s see, I have to properly look at the eyes of the other party. . . watch my tone as not to be rude. . . hmm? How do I starts a conversation again? First is greeting. . . and then do self introduction. . . then make a small talk. . . after that. . . after that. . . I wonder what I should talk about? I can’t tell the events of the world because I was secluded in the mountain for the past two years.

What should I do. . . I can see myself stumbled upon conversation in the future.

First of all, let’s gathering information by listening the people around, let’s make it look like I came from the country side. . . there is no problem with money. . . since the money I had brought in when I ran away from the home remains intact, I have a few tens silver coins. . .

. . . I’m not crying. It was a reasonable amount of money that ordinary townspeople possessed! It was my entire fortune which I saved before I went out from the Imperial capital!

However, when considering my future life, I have no choice except to going home because I don’t have anyone to rely on. . . at this late hour, it is. . .

I gained a little power when I live in the mountain. When it comes to that, I can register as an adventurer and live a frugal-life with the coin earned from low-ranked request, something like collecting herbal maybe. . . not many, but I also want to make a friend. I won’t meet my friend from the imperial city ever again. . .to able sharing a foolish tale with my new friend, such life are---

While I lost in thought, an arrow flew from the dinstance and hit on the fruit in my hand brilliantly.

[O~opss!!] (Wazu)

Well, I wasn't aware before. I thought that there is no time to avoided it, so I planning to catch it. I forgot that my hand was holding a fruit, so the arrow was stuck in a fruit just as it is. From the direction the flying arrow came, just a little far away somehow I can see a figure of person looking at my direction. Or rather, it was impossible for an arrow come flying by itself.

Again, my heart pounding.

At last, after 2 years I have an opportunity to make contact with human. . .

Yo~yosh! Here I comes!!

Without minding the other arrows that came flown at me, I walking to that place.  After awhile I noticed that there were more than one person over there. Oh to suddenly meet so many people. . . I’m at a disadvantage here. I can’t give a response when they all talk to me at once.

. . . should I retreat?

[Release that child !!!]

[Discard your weapon and surrender quitely if you don’t want to be hurt !!!]

The moment I heard their voice, I threw up the fruits and nuts in my hand and started to run.
