Finding Your Way Home In Another World With The Gender Change Skill/Shadow & The Jester [Remake]
Chapter 19: Orc = Fresh Meat

It has been 3 days since we came to this world, and it has been 2 days since we were in this forest. We are now walking towards the Western part of this Forest.

From the explanation given by Heavenly-san. In the West of this forest there seems to be a nest [Orc], or in short is a collection of fresh living meat that has not been touched by anyone.

If we go there, we will be able to help these girls gain combat experience from actual combat, and we will also get meat from the [Orcs] who are said to be very delicious. It's it's like, once the 2 island oars pass.

“Neh Sou-chan... Are we really going to fight [Orc]?” Nagisa asked that with a trembling tone.

No, not only Nagisa, but all these girls started looking at me with worried eyes. I'm confused why they're worried?

“Iya, why?” I tilted my head to the side in confusion.

After hearing this question from me, Shinomiya-san immediately answered it with a trembling tone of voice like Nagisa.

“You know Shimotsuki-kun, these guys [Orc]” Shinomiya-san said that while trying to convince me of something.

“Terus?” because I don't understand, so I can only tilt my head to the side.

By the time I did that, somehow these girls instantly had gloomy expressions on their faces.

After a pause of 15 minutes, Natsuki-san finally started talking while looking at me with eyes that still haven't changed.

“Shimotsuki... what if we go directly to the city?” Natsuki-san said that while looking at me with teary eyes.

At the moment when Natsuki-san said that, the other girls also started to nod at Natsuki-san's statement.

Neh Heavenly-san, will they really lose if it goes against these [Orcs]?

Out of curiosity, I asked Heavenly-san that while tilting my head.

[Answering]

[According to estimates, one of them can even beat about 100 ‘Orc’ alone]

After hearing the explanation from Heavenly-san, I immediately stopped and turned towards the girls.

“Are you sure to go directly to Trade City?” I asked that while looking intently at them.

At the time of hearing this question, the girls who heard it, immediately tried to nod their heads with all their might to confirm it.

When I saw that, I could only breathe. How could they decide this so easily.

Huay....

After sighing, I immediately opened my mouth again to speak.

“Alright, then let's go” I said that to them while turning around and starting walking back.

At the sight of that, these girls instantly got excited and started following me from behind.

☆-----___-----___-----☆

We are now on the river bank to rest and have lunch

just sec.

The water in this river is really very clean, even I can see the fish that are swimming to and fro in the river.

I'm trying to catch some fish for lunch. At first the fish were like they were mocking me by running around my feet, but, as I was getting irritated, I accidentally killed all the fish in the river.

There was not even a single fish in sight in this river, so I went up and walked towards the place where the girls were waiting for me, but somehow, I did, by the time I got there they were all staring at me like they were looking at a criminal.

“Why are you guys looking at me like that?” I tilted my head to the side in confusion.

“Neh Souji-kun.. Aren't you being too cruel?” Ayano-sensei asked me that question in a doubtful tone.

“Cruel? What do you mean Ayano-sensei?” since I really don't understand, all I can do is tilt my head to the side.

At the sight of that, these girls immediately turned their eyes away from me, and began to stare at the fish that were being roasted in this bonfire with eyes that seemed to apologize.

Then for some reason, again I even feel like a villain here. Since it was getting annoying, I asked Heavenly-san something to improve my mood.

Neh Heavenly-san, did you tell me how to return to Japan?

At the moment I said that, somehow Heavenly-san started to say something vague, and at that very moment a voice that really made a pain instantly echoed inside my head.

[Answering]

[??????????]

“Alright, stop explaining Heavenly-san!! It really hurts!!” I said that while banging my head against the tree trunk.

At the sight of me banging my head against the tree trunk, the girls who saw it immediately stood up and walked up to me to stop me from banging my head.

But because of the pain and aches that kept echoing inside my head, so I ignored them and kept banging my head.

Bruk!!

The large tree fell, due to repeated violent impacts right on the trunk of the tree. After this huge tree fell down, Heavenly-san suddenly immediately stopped explaining.

And at that very instant, my vision instantly became extremely dark.

☆-----___-----___-----☆

In a room that looks like a bedroom. There were three women sitting and facing each other.

“Then, may I ask you now, why did Arena call us here?” this person said that while tilting his head to the side.

The one who asked this was a 17-year-old girl, she had white hair tied to the side with beautiful light blue eyes, he was Aizawa Saki who was one of the people holding the Job Class [Hero] who had the type [Valkyrie].

“Can I ask you two something?” the person called this arena said that while looking at the two of them.

This Arena guy, who looks like a 16-year-old girl, has long blonde hair with green eyes.

At the moment Arena said that, the two girls who were in front of him instantly tilted their heads to the side.

“Then, Arena-kun, may I know what you want to ask?” the woman beside Saki asked that while looking intently at the Arena.

This woman looks to have 25 years old, she has short black hair with light Blue eyes, she is Ryuuji Asahi. He was also one of the few people who had a Job Class [Hero] who had a [SwordManship] type.

At the moment of hearing that, Arena took a deep breath and began to speak.

“May I ask about the Man who has the name Shimotsuki?” he asked that while looking intently at the two people in front of him.

At the moment of hearing the question from the Arena, the two of them were extremely shocked and immediately hurriedly asked the reason Arena asked that.

“Before that, may I know why Arena-kun wants to find out about Shimotsuki-kun?”  Asahi directly asked that while staring intently back at the Arena.

On the other hand, at the moment of hearing that Saki instantly trembled. Even so, Saki was still staring at Arena with curious eyes.

At the moment of being stared at by the two of them, Arena again took a deep breath and began to speak.

“If I may be honest, somehow I seem to have known him, but I can't remember him at all” Arena said that while tightly grasping his clothes.

At the moment of hearing the statement from the Arena, the two of them were extremely shocked. Because they both know that they all came to this world a few days ago, and they all came together.

As for what this Arena said, it was like wanting to hint to the two of them that he had met Souji in the past.

At the moment of hearing that, Saki immediately shouted to Arena and asked Arena's intention to say that.

“Tu-wait a minute Arena!! What do you mean if you've met Souji before!!” Saki said that with an angry tone while walking forward towards the Arena.

At the moment Saki was walking towards the Arena, she was suddenly stopped by Asahi.

“Relax Aizawa-kun” Asahi said that while pulling on Saki's arm to stop her.

“Why are you telling me to calm down Ryuuji-sensei!! He said that Souji had come to this world before, and ha-“

Before Saki could finish what she wanted to say, Asahi directly cut her off and shouted to tell her to calm down.

“I told you, relax Aizawa-kun!! We heard first an explanation from Arena” He said that while pulling Saki to sit back.

At the moment of seeing that, Arena immediately looked at Saki and started asking her something.

“Saki, may I know what kind of relationship you have with Shimotsuki?” Arena asked that while staring intently at Saki.

When Arena asked Saki that, she directly lowered her head down.

When I saw that. Asahi who was curious as well as Saki's previous behavior, she started looking at him suspiciously too.

Saki who was stared at sharply by the two of them finally gave up, and told all of her to the two of them.

“Tell me, I'll tell her” she said that while still staring down and clasping her clothes tightly.

At the time of hearing Saki's statement, the two of them instantly listened to Saki's story seriously.

“So here's the story..”.
