-Mayu Ayukawa’s POV-

「Strange」

That was the first thing I thought.

Beastkins with danger rating of “S”: Hand riding rabbits

And their queen who is designated as disaster class.

Nobles of the demon world, a succubus from the royal family, and even Ouroboros, whose name alone makes everyone tremble.

—when I saw Ouroboros wearing a maid’s clothes, I looked twice…no, thrice.

I wouldn’t be surprised if some kingdom empty their country and send its entire army of knights here to bring down one of these huts.

However, they…won’t be able to win.

It’s not on the level of being out in the common sense area, it’s already….beyond that.

Uncle has nothing but farming skills and is useless in combat.

For them, who have sky-high fighting abilities, uncle should be just a small fry.

However, that doesn’t change the fact that they adore uncle.

What’s more, there are even ten elves and a dwarf girl.

It’s not a secret that hand-riding rabbits and elves don’t get along and it’s unlikely for the famously eccentric dwarf race would choose to coexist with another race.

How in the world did this happen?….my doubts were immediately cleared.

The only reason I can think of is that Uncle Tatsuya has an all-around skill of being able to order various things from Japan.

Ah, and his…farming skill too.

The vegetables he cultivated with his skills and the food he cooks with the seasoning he orders are really delicious.

To put it bluntly, the food in this world….doesn’t taste good at all.

The ingredients alone are better than what you can find in Japan as long as you can afford them but the seasoning and cooking methods ruin everything.

I mean, I’m eating pork teriyaki right now and…I’m almost in tears.

I’ve experienced a lot of hardship….since I came into this world.

It’s very nostalgic and….delicious.

And the most important reason why the girls adore uncle is—

—because of his personality.

「I’m sorry. I….left Uncle Tatsuya behind.」

「It’s okay, it’s okay. You don’t have to worry about it.」

「…eh?」

That’s right. He’s…that kind of person, isn’t he?

He doesn’t care about the details and treats people nicely.

This is something impossible in this cutthroat world.

「You stopped them, didn’t you? You probably stopped them but…. they threatened you.」

「….yeah. Maa…that’s exactly what happened.」

「It can’t be helped then. You wouldn’t be able to resist them after all.」

When I heard him say that, I was stupefied.

「What’s wrong?….why are you smiling bitterly?」

「No, it’s nothing.」

Yeah. This person….has a big heart.

No, perhaps he has bottomless mercy.

We did something terrible to him that even if he beats me out, I wouldn’t have any right to complain.

However, he just smiled and forgave me.

He looks a little unreliable but he’s good at smiling.

While he was smiling, I felt guilt deep inside me.

I can’t help but think….he should at least shout at me for it.

From now on, no matter what happens, I’ll make amends for that time.

And that aside—

—maa, a lot has happened since I came to this world.

Unlike in Japan, morality and ethics here are a mess.

It’s a bleak world where people will be killed like it’s normal and even robbery is a normal choice for living.

We were trained in combat to live but the only word I can describe what I’ve gone through is “hell”…it’s that much.

I was thrown out of the training facility for being useless and after a lot of trouble, I was able to live in a relatively nice environment…but it was still bleak.

—after seeing Uncle Tatsuya, I was able to remember Japan for the first time in a long time.

In this world, uncle still acts like a normal Japanese uncle….

My heart was so broken that I cried a little bit.

Anyway, I think it’s because uncle is like that….that he managed to attract these women.

Because—

Everyone’s being noisy together.

Everyone’s having fun.

Everyone’s laughing together.

I have never seen a scene as natural as this in this world….perhaps there’s no other place like this in this world.

That’s why I’m so….relieved that uncle picked me up.

 「By the way, Mayu, why did you faint there covered in blood?」

「That’s….」
