Become A Human In Another World
ACT 1: Chapter 21 - Tea Paradise Manager
I managed to jump into the water, and keep my head above the water.
It's cold! The water is quite cold as this has already started to enter at night!
But this is all incomparable when compared to the water above that in my place of torture.
But the problem is, the water flow is quite heavy, as well as the river terrain is down steep, making me a little worried.
Moreover, there are some stones that are like ready to accept me to hit him!
But, this was the fastest road to the city. Next is to change my identity. Practically I don't want my identity revealed at this point.
Because I knew it would only bring trouble.
I know someone who can change my identity. He is the manager at "Tea Paradise".
He who is able to change the name Rumia, means he has to who can change the information in my opinion it is a cheat skill, which is likely I can get it.
"Gahh!"I try to keep my head up, so that at least I don't get out of breath.
I've managed quite well up to this point, I at least want this all to not go to waste!
THE DUGG!
My heart was beating hard again. Maybe this is a sign that I have crossed the Larvest family barrier?
"I just have to hang on for a little while, huh?!" I complained slowly.
Although I said so, but it is clear below that the only waiting stones are large. Well, even after that the water starts to calm down, but I have to get through this first.

"Huff!" I gasped for breath as I crawled up to the riverbank on the edge of the city. It's not too far away, and I just need to run for a while.
My fault. I should have climbed up earlier! But what power, the current of this river dragged me all the way here.
Sriyin!!
My [Critical Perception] skill rang out loud!
As soon as I found out, someone was after me. A few seconds later, I felt a chill engulf me. I don't have time to look!
I reflexively changed my standing position to face the side, then kicked the palm of the attacker's hand, making his sword slip. He was a little surprised and immediately retreated.
"Who are you?!" He asked that.
"I should have asked so, while preparing for the next attack.
"This voice, don't you? Ren?!" I heard him say my name. Then, he started to open the hood on his face.
"Roman!" I was a little surprised when I saw the face of the person who attacked me earlier.
Holy hooch! How lucky I am!
"I told you not to call me Rumia, right?" He grumbled while taking his sword.
"Ah yes! I remember meeting you! Come fast!" I immediately pulled Rumia's hand and took her away. Of course my goal is to go to manager Rumia.
"Wait around! Where are you pulling me? And also why is your face so worried?!" he was a little protesting against my treatment.
"Hi say! Don't tell me it has anything to do with Suzu?!" Rumia shouted as I pulled her roughly.
But he quickly watched my facial expression. It's amazing, Rumia!
"I'll tell you later there. You will understand too!"I said while continuing to run.
The streets of the city feel empty. The atmosphere around me is different. It really doesn't feel fun! I know, there must be something.
It is like fear, anxiety, and worry!
It was possible that the news of the Demon summoning had already spread by now. Or perhaps, the guild deliberately announced it.
"We're home!" Rumia shouted in while opening the shop door. And inside was a middle-aged woman waiting.
I'm guessing he's about 30. Her face was arguably quite pretty, but the most outstanding of her maternal nature.
"Huh, Rury! Why are you bringing a boy home? Don't tell me you, shotacon?!" The woman said half a scream.
"Ti-ti-no! No way! Besides, that has affairs like Ren." Answer Rumia half stuttered.
"All right, I'll take over from here." I started to step forward facing manager Rumia.
"introduce. My name is Ren Larvest, the 4th son of the Larvest family. Nice to meet you, manager!" I lowered my head while crossing my arms politely, intending to introduce myself.
"ah! The guild master's son huh? Meet me, Ellen. I'm the manager here." He answered while changing his tone to formal.
"No need to be formal with me. And also, I want to get straight to the point." I started to breathe.
"It seems that you already know, that the purpose of the kidnap that happened this late was for the Demon summoning ritual to this world. That was what made the atmosphere of the city terrifying and desolate. I'm sure you as a manager would have known, right?" I began to express my wishes one by one.
"Eh?! What'sthis?! When is it true that everyone knows?! I haven't!" Rumia shouted with a pitiful face.
"Yes. I already knew. How about that?" The manager, or maybe I could call Ellen nodded calmly.
But I could tell that the look on his face had changed a little.
"I also know that you have a special skill, which can change people's names and appearances." I sighed.
"What if I say that I can save them, but I need this skill?" I went straight to my main goal.
"What do you mean?!" Ellen's tone began to rise.
