Not Sure, But It Looks Like I Got Reincarnated in Another World
Episode 19's

I finally arrived on the road, but where should I go from here?

　The road continues from north to south. Harula was supposed to be heading east, so I wasn't sure which way I should have gone.

　Both directions lead to a fork in the road, so if I just pick a path and end up wrong I have to go back. What am I supposed to do?

　I looked around and saw a small forest on the left. There was some space between the road and the forest, so it seemed like the opening could be used as a simple campground.

　That's a little bet, but maybe I should stop here today? Maybe someone will pass.

　If someone passes by, then I can ask for directions. All right, let's go with that.

　So I moved towards the open. I checked around for everyone, but it didn't seem like anyone was around.

　I did not have the courage to sleep in a place that was fully visible from the road, so I decided to camp after going into the forest. I have a lot of firewood in Storage. So preparing a campfire is easy. I also put up a simple homemade tent. I wouldn't do something as flashy as bringing my house here. Having peace is the best.

　I took out a small pot and bowl and started preparing food. I had a lot of orc meat, so I decided to use it to make soup.

　While I was preparing the food, a large train came and stopped in the open.

　A few men came out from inside the carriage and briefly looked into the area before starting to set up camp.

　What should I do, I should call them?

　I was still wearing a robe and my hood was still on. How do they react to a suspicious-looking person hiding their face with a hood? If it were me. I wouldn't be sure. I glanced behind me, Norn was eating with Bell. My eyes met Norn's. Looks like he said don't worry.

　If it gets there, Norn will be there. But it would be troublesome if things went that way, so I decided to wait and observe for a while.

　It's not because I'm bad at interacting with people, or anything.

　So I decided to ignore them for now and continue the meal preparation. But before that, let's go in small disguises. And done!

Fake glasses!

　I have made these glasses using Creation Magic over the past few days of travel.

　While I call them fake glasses, it's actually not just glasses. If you wear these glasses, you can also use the Rating Skills!

　But the effect is only equivalent to LV2. In addition, it costs 10 MP for each use. So it can't be used.

　But I made this so that I could fool others about my Assessment skills, so it was not a problem. Instead, I purposely set the cost of MP to be that high. My Rating Skill is currently LV9, so it would be bad if others found out.

　Also, when you wear glasses, the impression of how others look at your face completely changes. As such, it would be perfect for a disguise, I have kept them with that in mind.

　After I finished making the glasses, I also gained the skills of [Magic Conferment] and [Skill Conferment]. I track time.

　I went back to cooking after I had a glass. After a while, the small pot started to boil. And the fragrant aroma came out. Yep, looks good.

“Halo, looks like you're resting here too. ”

　They're here-!

“Ah Yes . ”

　He seems to be a merchant, maybe somewhere in his twenties? I also saw some people preparing food backwards. One, two ..... So four people in total?

“Are you alone?”

“No, I'm with the others. ”

　When he noticed Norn behind me, he became a little surprised. Norn is much larger than a common wolf.

“Hm, wolf? Sorry, but are you a tamer? “

“Baiklah . ”

　That's lies. He's actually my friend.

　Tamers are adventurers who tame monsters or demons and use them to fight. I've heard before that there are some tamers who use dogs or wolves, so wouldn't be suspicious even if I answered yes.

“It's rather big, is it maybe a great wolf?”

　I try to overcome it by being ambiguous. Apologies, he's actually a Fenrir. The two monsters were completely different from each other. The big wolf is a high class species in the bad wolf. The evil wolf was bigger than a normal wolf, and the Big Wolf was even bigger. Since Norn was also quite big, it was possible to mislead him. For the record, the smaller ones are called wild wolves or small wolves.

“Once, I saw a young girl alone, so I wondered if everything was okay. ”

“Not at all, I appreciate the attention. Are you a trader? ”

“Yes, I'm on my way back from Oneill. I am currently heading to Harula. ”

　The harula! It saved me from the trouble of asking! I'm really confused how to handle it. I see, Oneill, yes. I wonder if everyone is okay?

　…… Oneill is the town with the orphanage I grew up in.

“Where's that little miss?”

“Ah, I am from a village located in the forest. ”

　Obviously, I couldn't tell the truth so I made up something. I've been lying incessantly since a while ago, it's kind of unpleasant.

“Dad, food is ready!”

　A little girl called the man. Good, there's a little boy with them. There were a total of five people. Moreover, I also felt that the two bodyguards had been looking at me since a while ago.

“Ah, is that really so? Then I'll take my little leave. ”

“All right, see you. ”

　The merchant started to return to the train.

　After I finished eating, I went to bed. In the middle of the night, I sensed that I was being observed, but nothing happened. Well, even if something were to happen, Norn would solve it without a problem.

　My daily routine? Like I'm going to do it on the way!

　Eh? Am I going to be okay? I can endure it!

　I woke up the next morning in a loud voice. Ughh, I want to sleep for a little while longer ……

　As I listened, I heard the voices of the merchant and his guards shouting at each other.

　…… It seems like they are arguing about something.

“Did something happen?”

“Ah, little miss. ”

　…… After asking about the situation, it seemed like they were running out of water.

　Apparently, the merchant kept the amount of water he used to travel. But the adventurers he usually asked to be escorted were not around at the moment, so he temporarily hired some other adventurers. However, the two adventurers hired this time around drank more water than expected, so there was a chance that they would run out of water before reaching the campsite where they would be able to replenish their supplies.

　When he told the bodyguards about the situation, it seemed that they were angry and blamed him for not preparing well.

　To be honest, from what I heard both sides had mistakes.

　I don't really want to get involved in this troublesome matter.

“Do you want me to share my water supply with you?”

“Eh? Is this all right? That is.. it seems like you did not bring much supplies…. . ”

　Right, that's how it looks.

　I only carry a medium-sized leather bag on me. Although, this bag is actually just a mock bag with a blanket rolled up inside. All my treasures are stored in Storage.

“Ah, I can use water magic. ”

“It ... but you look rather young, are you sure you will be fine by sharing with us?”

　He had a surprised expression on his face. The amount of water needed for someone traveling alone and five people is completely different. Naturally, water created using water magic would consume MP. Thus, it is impossible to produce that much water without adequate MP. I was wearing a cape with a hood, but I was still very short. Because of that, it looks like I'm still a child. He probably thinks I don't have enough MP to produce enough water for five people.

“Yes, I'll be fine. Water magic is also my specialty. ”

　My current water magic LV6.

　So he was grateful that I shared the water with them and thanked me by giving me 10 silver coins.

　Furthermore, after learning that we were heading to the same destination, he even offered to take me there with them.

　So, I helped them and was helped in return. It's lucky!

　However, the appearance my bodyguard gave me made me feel anxious.
