Chapter 117: When I Woke Up, I Was In Someone's House

When I Woke Up, I Was In Someones House

* * *

That day, for Aihara Runa, it began in a rather ordinary way.

As usual, Runa was sleeping in the shed when her foster father suddenly appeared and poured boiling hot water over her.

If I recall correctly, her foster father had been drinking alcohol all night and had just returned home in the morning.

Her foster mother had scolded him for it, putting him in a foul mood, which led to him doing such a thing.

Thats how I think it went.

After waking up, Runa was subjected to a thorough beating by her foster father until his temper cooled down, then she fled the house and headed to school like normal.

Well, it was a common occurrence. Something that happened all the time.

No point in looking gloomy from the morning. Just smile and bear it!

It was on that usual commute path that Runa encountered her.

A transfer student who had gotten lost.

The only person in her previous life filled with enmity who had been on Runas side.

The one who invited her with a brilliant smile, Lets be friends!

Her name was

* * *

Her eyes opened with a flutter.

?!

I was sleeping?!

I fell asleep?!

For how long?!

Where is this?!

Are there any enemies nearby?!

Panicking, she jolted upright.

The blanket covering her flew up into the air.

Body Strengthening, continuously maintained.

Mana Sensing Threads, deployed.

Ready to instantly kill any incoming threat.

Surveying all directions, remaining vigilant.

The blanket drifted quietly onto the floor.

The floor?

A blanket?

Huh?

Theres a ceiling.

And walls.

Huh?

Not a forest?

Huh?

Where is this place?

After calming down and observing her surroundings, it seemed this was someones house.

Not grand, just a small wooden room, but clean and bright from thorough housekeeping.

Few furnishings.

In one corner were several straw baskets.

Carefully examining herself, she realized someone had dressed her.

Nothing special.

Just a plain shirt and pants similar to what the villagers in that Trash Village used to wear.

Likely intended for a boy.

Her trusted black inner wear from the forest now had that boyish shirt and pants over it.

That was her current attire.

<Fuwahgood morninghuh, where is this? Hell?>

Ah, good morning, Extra-sama.

Allow me to interject right away, but whats with Where is this? Hell??

Wouldnt you normally mistake it for heaven or something?

And didnt you previously state that there is no afterlife in this world yourself?

<Fuwah!? Ah, Emi!? Oh, good morning!?>

Well, in any case, after immediately snapping out of her drowsy state, Extra-sama and I, Emi, proceeded to assess the situation.

* * *

<However, I truly thought it was over this time. To think we would encounter the Black Dragon in that forest and be attacked>

Savoring the joy of still being alive, Extra-sama spoke those words.

The Black Dragon, you mean that massive flying, chattering black lizard?

crunch crunch

<Black lizard, you sayEmi, that was the Sealed Black Dragon entity from this worlds mythology. Encountering it was a miracle, and to have been spared, for us to still be alive, is also a miracle>

I had no idea about any of that.

That black lizard just kept spouting nonsense while trying to hit me.

I absolutely wont forgive it.

Ill kill it someday. Ill definitely kill it.

Ill make it regret letting me live while I kill it.

crunch crunch

<Sigh Please make that an eventually Emi. Challenging it again immediately would be futile, as youre no match for it currently. Fortunately, its sealed within that forest, so it cant disappear anywhere else. Lets train diligently and challenge it once you become the worlds strongest, alright?>

Now, now, Im not so stupid that I cant comprehend the gap in our abilities, Extra-sama.

Speaking of which, Extra-sama, you never say its impossible, do you?

<Its not impossible. Because>

Because?

<You see, I told you before, didnt I? Im with you. With the knowledge Ive gained from isekai broadcasts, elevating you to become the worlds strongest is far from impossible!>

Eh?! Thats your reasoning?!

<Its an unwavering, unshakable, solid foundation that I can state with full confidence>

I keep thinking this, but Extra-sama, you really rely too much on information from those isekai broadcasts

Well, whatever.

Anyway, about that.

Lets put aside the chattering black lizard for now.

Because Extra-sama, we currently have an urgent situation to resolve!

crunch crunch

<Yes, what is it?>

Its this!!

This!!

Hellish hunger!!

<You were given the black dragons blood, after allThe resulting mana transformations side effect of hunger will be beyond anything youve experienced so far. Its only natural youd want to desperately peel and devour these floorboards>

Ahhh!!

Im so hungry!!

Im starving!!

No matter how many floorboards I eat, my stomach wont be satisfied at all!!

And where even is this?!

I dont remember anything after the black lizard forced me to drink its blood, but why am I in someones house?!

Whose house is this?! Was I helped by someone?!

And Im casually eating the floorboards here, but wont I get scolded for that?!

<Youre worrying about it in a surprisingly termite-like manner>

Termites likely dont feel any guilt about damaging houses!

The fact that Im reflecting and considering the homeowners I havent even met proves Im undoubtedly human!

Hmm?!

<Ah!>

While Extra-sama and I engaged in such silly banter, one of the Mana Sensing Threads I had deployed throughout the house reacted.

It seemed something had entered this house through the front entrance.

I inadvertently became wary.

Unconsciously releasing Intimidation.

Stopping my hand devouring the floorboards and my chewing mouth, I focused on the intruders presence.

If I sensed even a hint of hostility.

I would instantly cut them down with Mantis.

Shifting my center of gravity to my toes, ready to move at any moment.

Hands held before my body.

No, in my current terrible condition.

Both physically and magically drained to near-minimum levels. Far from fully recovered.

Perhaps breaking through a wall to escape would be safer.

Even as I contemplated such thoughts, there was a reason I didnt immediately flee.

A pleasant aroma wafted over.

A savory, delicious scent.

That scent was approaching.

guruguruguruguru

My stomach involuntarily growled.

Drool wouldnt stop flowing.

What should I do?

I want to eat it.

I want to eat, I want to eat, I want to eat.

That delicious-smelling thing, I want to eat it.

What should I do?

What can I do?

Flee?

No, I want to eat it.

How can I?

Take it?

Should I kill them?

At that moment, my hunger had me so confused.

I couldnt make rational judgments.

The confusion left me unable to move.

If a truly hostile presence had approached me in that state, that confusion would have proven a fatal opening.

However, fortunately, that was not the case.

The ones who entered this house were not the likes of thieves, bandits, or monsters.

Slowly sliding open the door, slightly cowering from my murderous aura, a woman with deep green hair like my own age peeked in from the other room along with a brown-haired girl.

In the baskets they carried were large loaves of bread piled high.
