I Kinda Came to Another World, but Where’s the Way Home?

While I was walking, somehow there was an unknown uncle who suddenly pushed a little child to me with desperate expression.

Seems like the child is asleep. The child wears an ashen and inconspicuous clothes, but I can see a great and bright future from this childs face.

With silky and neat shoulder-long blonde hair, bouncy and elastic baby-ish white skin, shes still very young, but with such out of ordinary countenance she has, it appears she would grow into quite of a beauty.

But, thats all. Her appearance is cute, I even think perhaps she might grow into quite a popular girl among opposite sex, but in the end thats all. This child is nothing but a frail, very young, human.

Shes nothing but an existence I can easily kill, if I want to. Right now, the life-and-death of this child is laying on my hand.

Kitsune-kun, whats that? A baby?

Yeah, seems like so seems like I just got dragged into trouble again.

Leila-chan peers and looks at the little girl; whos being held by me; from my back. I honestly think I just got pushed into the most troublesome trouble.

Ive been struggling just to stay alive, moreover I also have overwhelmingly no paternity and experience to raise a child. But I do have the knowledge, when I was at elementary school, I once read a self-help book about raising a child, after all. Id read the way to change diapers till the way to deal when the childs crying, well, its just I didnt have the chance to make use of it, though.

Either way, I cant raise a child, and I also have no time to.

It may seem cold but, should we take her to an orphanage or something, I wonder.

cant I eat it? I havent tasted you for quite a while, so Im a bit.

Didnt I just offer you to lick my finger?

B, but thats kind of embarrassing or rather, when Im about to touch you, my heart would suddenly beat very fast, so.

Are you a girl in puberty or something?

Somehow Leila-chan kind of looks like a girl in love but, just whats happening here? Come to think of it, my title also has changed into One whos loved by demon, hasnt it?

Could it be, has her impression about me turned from the prey shes interested at to the person she love, I wonder? In the case with apostle-chan, I somewhat protected Leila-chan after all, did her good will unexpectedly turn into love because of that?

Well, thats just my guess though, Id experienced misunderstanding a girls suggestive behaviors and experienced an embarrassing experience, so Id better not arbitrarily take a conclusion here.

At that time, the girl was arbitrarily showing such suggestive behaviors, and when I thought I got called to get confessed to, the one there was several girls who were sneering at me, after all. I was a fool to expect that perhaps they were all fond of me.

But, you cant eat her.

Eh~, muu got it, Ill endure it.

She unexpectedly obeys me. If it were the usual her, Im sure shed say Eh~! No way, I want to eat it!, or something like that. Perhaps Leila-chan is gradually changing. Up until now she acted simply depending on her instinct and desire, but perhaps because shes now able to make a choice of her actions after turning into S rank, perhaps shes learned self-control and reason to endure her desire back.

Well, leaving that aside, what should I do with this child, I wonder? Perhaps, I should meet Rishe-chan first before deciding, huh. For her who had learning a way of knight, perhaps shed know what to do to lost child like this.

Either it leaving her somewhere or taking her to the guards, none of the options would profit me, after all. I might get punished if I abandon her, and I if take her to the guards, this girl might be put into the so called health care center, either of it will leave bad aftertaste on me, after all.

Leila-chan, for now lets gather the necessity for our journey as weve planned first. We have to secure a mean of transportation, as well as food, camping gears, and tools that we may need later we have to finish it first.

Okay ufufu, now that I look at it, I think it looks kinda cute.

Didnt you just say you want to eat her?

Why do you suddenly awaken up such strange maternity like that?

Umm seems like our budget wont be enough to cover everything, huh.

After that, using a cloth; that we bought at the general store around there; to fasten the child on my back, we continue searching for the necessary preparations for our next journey. Currently were in the shop that sells camping goods, however even the cheapest one is pretty expensive.

Here, Im shoved the fact that the money Ive been accumulating; ever since I became an adventurer; its enough to cover the food expense, but its not nearly enough to cover the camping gears and transportation expenses.

Currently, weve somewhat acquired preserved food enough for a week time, but as expected, securing camping goods and transportation would be quite hard. Weve almost run out of money. I dont even have the courage to touch the camping good before me.

Ah, should I pay for it?

Eh?

Then, Leila-chan unexpectedly says so from my back.

Taking out her guild card, she skillfully takes the portable cookwares and sleeping bags before us with her miasma. And then, taking all of it to the counter; where the shopkeeper is; she presents her guild card.

The shopkeeper receives it, somewhat processes the purchase, and then returns the card back to Leila-chan. After Leila-chan puts a signature on a kind of white paper, she returns to me along with the taken goods. Perhaps shes purchased them all.

Leila-chan, what did you just do?

Eh? I just purchased them with my guild card, though?

When I curiously ask Leila-chan about it, she says that in this world, purchasing goods with cash is typical, but its possible for adventurers to store the reward money at the guild. Seems like theres a similar system like bank here.

In that system, they use guild card to store and withdraw money.

Seems like guild card is a kind of simple magic tool, and reading ones status is just a part of its ability. Because of that, as long as the registered name and the holders name arent the same, the guild card wont show any information about the registered person.

However, there were the case when someone registered with alias, and in that case, the card would be set to show the registered information by injecting some magic power of the registered person. For one hour of time after the card was issued, if the card was always by its owner, it would automatically register the magic power of its owner.

There was no human who possessed no magic power, so more or less, as long as one carried the card, itd sense the magic power.

Well, within the one hour time of registering the magic power, one had to be very careful so that the card didnt get stolen, though.

And so, the card would only show the name and level with the consent of the owner.

Using that as the validation, the bank system was formed. By storing money at the guild, seems like wed be able to purchase things using the guild card as a kind of credit card.

Well, the purchaser still had to sign on a receipt-like paper, but since we didnt have to take cash every time we purchase something and wed be able to smoothly pay with it, this systems pretty convenient.

By the way, seems like the one who invented this system was the previous hero.

Seemingly excel at manufacturing and research, he mass produced powerful magic weapons to subjugate the demon lord. Even if they were similarly heroes, seems like its not a given that theyd posses Ray of Hope as innate skill.

Hmm I see. But, will it be enough?

Well, I havent used even a coin of my reward money up until now, so perhaps, as long as it isnt a very expensive one, I think I should be able to buy several houses with it.

That sounds quite promising.

I feel like a pimp who is taking advantage of Leila-chan but, perhaps thats just my imagination. Ill definitely pay her back later. Even if she posses a lot of money, my trifling pride wont let me to become someone whos only getting spoiled by her, after all.

For now, Ill pay for the preparations for our next journey.

Dammit, to think Id lose in economical strength against Leila-chan; whos seemingly only a bum. Somehow its very mortifying, she refers it as her favor but, its just her gaze is just as if sayinggeez, it really cant be helped then~.

Perhaps thats only what I imagine it to be but, this feeling of defeat is just too overwhelming.

please.

However, I couldnt shout it out loud. The power of money, this is the moment I remember just how amazing it is.

After that, we purchased anything we deemed need one after another.

Food, cookwares, sleeping bags, lantern, but the most surprising one was the rental carriage. It was terrifyingly costly. I really am grateful to Leila-chan, to think that she wouldnt even bat an eye when spending such amount of money, I spontaneously thought just who the hell she was. As expected of C rank adventurer, huh.

Seems like we can return the carriage at the carriage rental in the next town. Perhaps theres one in every town around.

Thereupon, having somewhat finished purchasing what we need, we return to the weapon shop. By the way, we left the carriage in the stable. Well, it cost money but we can ask them to take care of the horse there. In front of the weapon shop, Rishe-chan is already there. Upon looking her with only her sword and no luggage, perhaps shed reserved some lodgings.

Rishe-chan.

Kitsune, Leila looks like youve finished purchasing goods.

Yup, pretty much.

The food and the camping gears are carried by Leila-chan using her miasma, so carrying it around is pretty easy. Honestly speaking, upon seeing the miasma, the reaction of people here is very light.

There are many possible explanations, like using wind magic to do it, or else, by telling them its a kind of innate skill, theyd easily accept this kind of phenomenon. Somehow, theyre very irresponsible around that part.

I also have pretty much secured our lodgings, its around the same level with the one we reserved at Miniera.

Thats more than enough.

then, whos that child on your back? Playing with trouble yet again?

Well, yeah, Ill tell you the detail later in our room.

I see, then follow me. Ill take you to there.

Seemingly has understood how skillful I am at getting entangled in such troubles, Rishe-chan floats an astonished face when she sees the child on my back.

Well, the good part is the fact that it doesnt look to be as troublesome as the case with Red Night, apostle-chan, or the fake hero. Getting pushed to take care of a child, its very cute in contrast. Well, its still not usual, though.

Kitsune-kun, Kitsune-kun.

What is it, Leila-chan?

This kids cheek is very squishy~.

You sure youre a demon?

What is it? I really hope her not to just awaken her maternity like that. In a way, I dont understand her at all.

While thinking so, I let out a big sigh again.
