Finding Your Way Home In Another World With The Gender Change Skill/Shadow & The Jester [Remake]
Chapter 44: Dinner

“Papa, what is Papa doing?” Asked a 5-year-old girl with snow-white hair and a few strands of black hair on the front and tip of her hair, the girl also had different eye colors from each other, the right eye color of the girl was blood red, while the color of her left eye was sky blue.

Yes, this girl is Shimotsuki Miyuki, she asked that while looking at me with sparkling eyes.

“Papa is cooking food for us” I replied that with a soft tone while smiling towards Miyuki.

Miyuki who heard that instantly became very excited, she immediately raised her right hand high while shouting with an excited tone of voice.

“Miyuki!! Miyuki wants to help Papa cook too!!”

I who heard that could only sigh heavily and nod in approval.

Miyuki who saw my nod, jumped up happily. To be honest, it was really very stressful, for some reason now I'm a little bit grateful about my meeting with Niji.

I did not know that the meeting was arranged by someone, or just by chance, or that our meeting was a fate, however, only one thing was certain about this, I swear, that I won't let Miyuki cry.

With such thoughts in mind, I started clenching my hands while looking at Miyuki warmly.

.....

After 5 minutes of Miyuki jumping around so happily, she started to stop, then she started to turn her head towards me while having a bright smile plastered on her face, and after that he went straight towards me while opening his mouth and talking.

“Then, what can Miyuki help Papa!?” Miyuki asked that in an excited tone while looking at me with puppy eyes.

I who saw the gaze of Miyuki, inevitably nodded without thinking of anything, because there was no way that a living being could resist her, either, what else if it is in combo with those eyes, only people who do not have sanity will reject it.

“Alright, then, the first thing Miyuki should do is help Papa cut this [Crazy Wild Boar] meat, so pay close attention to how to do it okay?” I said that in a stern tone while picking up some meat from a large bowl made of wood.

Miyuki who heard that, she immediately nodded excitedly, and I could see her clearly, if in her eyes it had a very strong determination to help me.

Then Miyuki started to notice how I cut the meat carefully, even so, I could still see Miyuki's hand trembling slightly from nervousness, it's possible that she got very nervous because it's her first time doing this, and she doesn't want to let me down.

Seeing that, I couldn't help but smile warmly, then I started to open my mouth and said in a very soft tone of voice.

“No need to be too nervous Miyuki, you don't have to force yourself like that, plus this is the first time you do this right, so if later you make a mistake, then, it was something natural” I said it in a very gentle tone while smiling warmly towards Miyuki.

Miyuki who heard these words from me, she gasped for a while before she began to turn her gaze towards me.

I saw that if Miyuki started to stare directly at me, I could only tilt my head to the side in confusion.

I really don't know the reason why he started staring at me with this serious expression on his face, but, I couldn't help but laugh when I saw that, because instead of her being serious, Miyuki instead looked very stuffy.

After Miyuki stared at me for 5 more minutes, she then started to open her mouth and said.

“Then let Miyuki cut her!!” Miyuki said that in a pleading tone while looking at me with eyes filled with determination.

I who saw that could only nod, then I started to allow Miyuki to help me cut the meat.

I couldn't help but smile when I saw Miyuki who was cutting some meat very seriously.

After about 1 more minute of watching Miyuki, I began to take my eyes off her and began to refocus on cooking.

☆-----___-----___-----☆

By the time Souji and Miyuki were cooking, the Dark Elf girl they met her end began to open her eyes.

I did not expect, if there were still people who wanted to help a Dark Elf, ordinary people only wanted to become Dark Elves as slaves or they might just kill him.

But why would this man help me? Not only did he let me cry in his arms, he also even helped to treat my injuries, he was truly a very good person.

Thought the Dark Elf girl while slowly starting to have a smile on her face, she then started to look around the area around her to find out where she was now.

Is this a cave? But why can the whole floor and walls be so smooth and even this place looks like a house? It's really confusing.

Thought the Dark Elf Girl while trying to stand up. Suddenly, he heard a female voice coming from behind.

“So you end up waking up also ya”

When this Dark Elf girl heard that voice, she reflexively directly turned around and retreated a few steps back.

The owner of the voice became a little surprised, when he saw this Dark Elf girl jumping back in haste.

“Who are you?!” Asked this Dark Elf girl in a serious tone of voice while staring intently at the person in front of her.

This Dark Elf girl became extremely shocked, when she saw who the owner of the voice was calling out to her earlier.

The person who before her called her this, she was a woman who looked to have an age of about 20 years. This woman also has a slender physique, soft skin, and purple eyes. He had fine textured white hair that looked as if it was sprinkled with snow. The woman also had a Face that looked very soft and graceful.

The woman was wearing a luxurious black and purple yukata-style kimono, with its handle having a white frill. In addition, this woman also ties her long hair in a ponytail style.

When this woman heard the question, she simply gave her a graceful smile. After a pause of a few seconds, this woman began to open her mouth and said.

“It's not very rude to ask someone else's name before introducing yourself, yes, I also do not really mind it sih” said this woman with a soft tone while holding her chin.

After the woman thought for a few seconds, she started to reopen her mouth and said.

“Then let me introduce myself first, my name is Shimotsuki Niji..” Said the woman in a gentle tone while smiling gracefully.

“...and is the wife of Shimotsuki Souji, the man who before her was holding her Mu” Advanced in the same tone as before while staring at the Dark Elf girl in front of her sharply.

The Dark Elf girl who was in front of him became a little surprised, by the time he found out that the man who was carrying him before him, already had a wife.

Even so, since the woman in front of him had already introduced herself, she should also introduce herself to the woman in front of him this.

“Greet to-“

However, when this Dark Elf girl just opened her mouth to introduce herself, her words were immediately cut off by the screams of a little girl.

“Mama the food is ready!!”

In the direction where the voice came from, there was a little girl who looked only about 5 years old running towards the two of them very excitedly.

This little girl had a slender physique, soft skin, and blue and red heterochromia eyes. He had fine textured white hair that looked as if it was sprinkled with snow. He also had a face that looked very innocent and cute.

This little girl also uses a blue kimono with a red flower motif. She also wore a red Hakama that did not appear to be a contract with her boss, however, this little girl somehow seemed to fit in perfectly with her outfit.

This Dark Elf girl could not understand what was going on and just stood still while looking at the little girl who was running towards the woman in front of her.

Meanwhile, Niji who saw this little girl running towards her, he immediately smiled with a hair towards this little girl, she said, then he started walking slowly towards the little girl while opening his mouth to speak.

“Alright Miyu-chan, Mama will be there soon” Niji said that in a gentle tone while walking towards the little girl who was running towards her.

When this little girl heard that, she became even more excited and started to speed up her footsteps. After this little girl was already near Niji, she immediately withdrew a hand from Niji.

“Quick Mama!! Miyuki is hungry!!” This little girl said that in a joyous tone while continuing to pull out a hand from Niji.

Niji who saw that, he could not help but smile towards this little girl, then he started to reopen his mouth and said.

“Then Miyu-chan went first to Papa, Mama has a little business with One-chan who is there” Niji said that in a soft tone while pointing towards the Dark Elf girl who from earlier stood still.

This little girl immediately nodded after hearing that, and after that the little girl again ran towards where she had come before her.

On the other hand, the Dark Elf girl who was suddenly pointed at became extremely shocked and started yelling towards Niji.

“Tu-wait a minute!! What maxu-“

However, again his words were cut off by someone, and this time the one who cut him was Niji.

“I just want to ask, do you want to eat with us?” Niji asked that with a soft tone of voice while walking towards the direction where the little girl before him was going.

The Dark Elf girl who heard that instantly fell silent, and suddenly her stomach started to sound.

Niji who heard that could only laugh a little while starting to stop, then Niji immediately turned his gaze towards the Dark Elf girl and he started to open his mouth again to speak.

“So, do you want to join or not?” Niji asked that again in the same tone as before while looking at this Dark Elf girl seriously.

This Dark Elf girl could only nod her head shyly.

Niji who saw the approval of this Dark Elf girl, he immediately reopened his mouth again and said.

“Then, hurry up here before Darling gets angry, because Darling doesn't like people wasting her time” Niji says it playfully while starting to walk again.

The Dark Elf girl could only nod her head, and she began to walk after Niji towards the outside from that place.

☆-----___-----___-----☆

It was now 30 minutes after Miyuki came back here, and Niji had still not shown up. What he really did. If in 5 minutes she hasn't shown up, I'll leave her and start eating alone.

Then I turned slightly to the right to see what Miyuki was doing. And I was really a little surprised by what he was doing. I think he'll get tired of waiting 30 minutes. However, like her it did not affect her at all and she started humming cheerfully.

Miyuki who was like her was aware of the gaze from me. He began to turn his eyes towards me. After that Miyuki immediately pointed a very cheerful smile at me while swinging her legs.

I who saw that could only smile back at Miyuki. Then I started stroking her head very gently while enjoying this very soothing atmosphere.

On the other hand, Miyuki who suddenly felt her head on elus by me did not reject her. Then he started enjoying the elusan from me while still continuing to swing his legs.

At the time when Miyuki and I were enjoying this very calming atmosphere. Suddenly we were both instantly awakened by the cough of someone.

“Ahem!”

Miyuki and I instantly turned our eyes towards where the voice was coming from. There we both found Niji who was already sitting on the seat that was located on my left side and the Dark Elf girl who was before him was sitting on the chair that was in front of me.

I was a little surprised when I saw her sitting in front of me. Because how else would ya. She was just when the two of us first met looking very scared.

Even so, because I'm too hungry to care about it. I immediately raised my hands up to chest level and brought them closer to each other. Then I started to open my mouth and say.

“Itadakimasu”

“I-itadakimasu”

Everyone who was there except Miyuki looked very confused by what I was doing. But they still follow that.

I ignored it and started eating the food I had made before. I made a simple Beef Tariyaki for dinner this time. I don't use beef, though.

To be honest, I had a little doubt about his taste. Since I used materials that looked similar, and of course, I have already consulted Heavenly-san about those materials. I used [Crazy Wild Boar] meat to replace his beef.

But like her I don't have to worry about the taste of my food. Because the taste is not too different from ordinary Tariyaki. Or can I tell you this one is better? Because the meat from this [Crazy Wild Boar] is really of high quality.

I started eating the food in front of the table very greedily.

.....

After 30 minutes, the entire meal on the table was gone with no leftovers. To be honest, I was even a little bit. Because somehow this dining table suddenly turned into a very terrible battlefield.

Niji and Miyuki did not want to budge each other. And they both started fighting over food. To be honest, I was a little surprised when I saw the Dark Elf girl in front of me start eating very greedily.

Wellh after dinner. I decided to ask some things to this Dark Elf girl who was in front of me. So I started clapping to get everyone's attention.

After everyone started to take a serious look at me, I nodded with satisfaction. After that I began to turn my gaze to this Dark Elf girl sitting in front of me. Then I started to open my mouth and say.

“Then, since the dinner is over, what if you explain who you really are first?” I asked that to the girl sitting in front of me in a serious tone while starting to stroke Miyuki's head which moved and sat on my lap.

This Dark Elf girl in front of me was a little surprised when she heard that. However, he quickly calmed himself down and started to stand up. Then he started to open his mouth and said.

“Pardon me if I introduce myself late, I am...”.
