It seems that after I moved and made my shelves, I fell asleep arranging my figures, thin books and manga.
But did I always have this amazing pillow?
It was soft and warm. It felt really comfortable.
It slled kind of bad, kind of like pee, but it was still really, really comfortable
Eek! Its not a pillow! Its the female knights lap!
I jumped up and looked down. The female knight had woken up.
It wasnt a dream or anything. I really did carry a female knight from a dungeon. And after relaxing I just fell asleep like that.
Whats more I did it on the female knights lap.
Its probably for her to move around more easily but they really shouldnt discriminate against thighs and cover it up more!
S-s-s-s-sorry. I just accidentally fell asleep.
I-its alright. I get it. I apologise as well, for waking you up even though you were sleeping so comfortably.
It seed that she wasnt angry. And she didnt have any weird misunderstandings
You were lying on so I called out to you even though I thought it would be slightly rude. But I can understand how Mr. Wise Sage would be sleepy in such a comfortable place to sleep in.
Shes having so weird misunderstanding.
What did she an by wise sage?
And was she referring to the tatami or her lap when she was talking about the comfortable place to sleep in?
N-no Im not a wise sage or anything. Although its much better than being mistaken for a goblin.
Aaah, Im so sorry. I was unable to see your face, wise sage. Moreover, you were speaking in monster language, so as rude as this is, I thought that you were a goblin
Hm? Monster language?
Yes. You are speaking it right now, am I wrong?
Ok. I imdiately understood what was happening. In other words, based on the female knights understanding. or rather, the dungeon worlds understanding, Japanese was the sa as Monster language.
No wonder she mistook for a goblin.
And now she was mistaking for a wise sage.
But Im also not a wise sage
A-am I mistaken? But you were able to create such a mysterious place to live in, so deep in the dungeon. I was sure you were a retired wise sage.
I see. So thats her explanation.
Judging from her protective equipnt, like her shield and armor, the world on the dungeon side probably had technology equivalent to what we had in the dieval Ages.
Protective equipnt in the modern world would probably be sothing like bullet proof vests made of Kevlar fibre.
I probably isnt that strange for her to think that this room was made by a great sage, seeing as this room in Japan was filled with modern conveniences.
The floor is of perfect hardness. I could probably sleep anywhere on this. It really is amazing. Not only that.it gives off a nice sll. Ah.I want to sleep on it forever
.The female knight caressed the tatami in fascination. It seed that out of the modern conveniences in the room, she had taken a liking to the tatami. Rather than a modern convenience, it was more of a traditional Japanese handicraft.
Dont get wrong. I loved the sll of new tatami too.
And there are so many of those elaborately made dolls. There are so who are holding swords as well. They co across as more magical ones to butare you really not a wise sage?
Nowise sage! I am a wise sage! Of course the dolls are magical. Theyre not anything suspicious at all! Ahahahaha!
Y-youre right. Actually, I was slightly worried that you were, as the humans nicknad, the wizard of darkness. Your dolls seed kind of.um.half naked and all.
Not at all, not at all. After all, Im a wise sage who fights for justice!
As I tried to play it off, the female knight gave a beaming smile.
Youre right. You carried all the way here and saved my life. Thank you so much.
O-oh no. That smile
Ever since I quit university, I had not properly talked to a woman, other than the short interaction I had with them during my part-ti job.
The female knights smile shone brightly, like she was an angel who had descended from heaven.
.Although, she was still lying on the tatami and she still wasnt moving. After I jumped up, I was still looking down at her.
By the way, why are you still lying down?
It seems that I was struck with so strong paralysing poison in the dungeon just nowbut I think I should be able to move in a while.
I see. I had thought it was sothing like that, but I guess I was right.
If you had not helped just now, I would have probably been dead by now. Wise sage, I owe you my life. Ill do anything to pay you back!
What!? Youll do anything!?
Does that an shell do sothing like what g-goblins do? No! What are you thinking about Tooru?!
Your grandmothers going to be disappointed in you!
Yes! Although I might not look like it, I am still a knight!
I an, I can tell just by looking. Of course knights possess a strong sense of duty and have great market value. It probably was the sa in the other world.
Although Im an ex-knight
Ah, shes an ex-knight. I see. So does that an her sense of duty wasnt as strong?
I appreciate the thought, but you can just forget about it
Although I did risk my life to save her in a dungeon where monsters may or may not have appeared, in the end, nothing happened and I was completely unscathed.
Still lying down, she puffed up her chest.
No, as an ex-knight, I will not forget your kindness for as long as I live!
Did she just say that she wouldnt forget, as long as she lived?
Kindness she wont forget as long as she livedshell do anything.
I was happy that such a beautiful person said those things to . I felt like I really lucked out but.. Was it really alright for this female knight to promise these things to a person whose na she didnt even know?
She gave a smile, as if she didnt have a single worry or doubt in her mind. Maybe she just had a personality where she didnt doubt others goodwill.
We still dont know each others nas
I unconsciously let those words out.
I-I-I apologise. That was rude of . My na is Aria Eldlux.
Miss Aria, Eldlux? Thats quite a tough na, isnt it?
You can just casually call my Ria
Even if you tell to call you casually.
It was pretty hard to call such a beautiful person by their given na. I barely had any mory of that, other than Sacchan. Thinking about it, that was also a nickna. There was no way I called her Sachiko.
Ria looked like she was trying to move her upper body. It seed that she was able to sit up now.
Haa.it seems that most of the paralysis poison has disappeared.
Is that so? Thats good.
By the way, would you like to tell your respected na, wise sage?
Respected na? Oh you an my na? Its Suzu
Its Suzuki Tooru. Is what I was about to say, but I stopped halfway.
Her na was Aria Eldlux. In comparison, a na like Suzuki just seed so incompatible.
I apologise to all the Suzukis in Japan.
My na is Tooru, I an, Thor
Sir Thor. What a nice na
I definitely didnt want a female calling by my given na.
No, thats a lie. I wanted her to call my na.
I apologise again to all the Suzukis in Japan.
But at any rate, Sir Thor, you appear rather young for a wise sage who has developed so many artifacts, are you not?
What? Arti-?
Ah. I didnt really understand what she was suddenly saying, since we were in the real world, but thats the thing that often cos up in the gas and light novels I often dabble in.
In other words, she was talking about the magic items created by magicians.
If soone from the dieval Ages saw this room, they would probably also think that it was filled with artifacts too.
However, the topic wasnt about the artifacts.
We were talking about how young I was, despite being a wise sage living in secret in the depths of a dungeon.
I had to cook up a story for her, before her angelic, blank expression turned into one of suspicious fear.
