#311 - Your name
“My name is Wolf Gamblard.”
—You're kidding me!
Hearing the third person suddenly appear and speak nonsense in a serious manner, Zun Zun couldn't help but twitch his lips.
Clearly a Japanese person, yet using a foreign name.
Did he think he could fool me so easily? Or was he really adhering to the principle of always giving a fake name when meeting strangers for the first time, to prevent being cursed or something—super otherworldly adaptability?
However, the beautiful elf girl, as if not listening to him, shielded Zun Zun behind her while aiming the slender sword in her hand at the person in front of her.
“Gibberish.”
She spat out a single word.
Judging by her wary and disgusted gaze, and the hurt look on the man's face, it probably wasn't a good word.
Beastman...or something?
Indeed.
This man—Shimazaki Yosuke—looked somewhat frightening. His tattered white casual wear barely looked like protective gear, and a red rag, like a scarf, was tied around his neck. Although he dressed no differently from humans, he was as thin as a rake, and his sunken cheekbones made him look incredibly weathered.
He seemed to have suffered quite a bit.
“N-No... that... I'm not a beastman, I'm human...”
“——！？”
Shimazaki Yosuke seemed to want to explain, and subconsciously reached out his hand, but the beautiful elf girl, thinking he was about to attack, shielded Zun Zun even more while fearfully closing her eyes.
Such a small action caused so much pain.
Zun Zun's impression of the beautiful elf girl reached its peak at once, after all, in this situation, she would rather be hurt herself than let Zun Zun get hurt.
But it wasn't good for Shimazaki Yosuke.
“It's okay, he doesn't have any bad intentions.”
Zun Zun patted the elf's arm, signaling her to let go of him first, then spoke to Shimazaki Yosuke.
“Hello, I am Zun Zun.”
“Y-You, hello... Ah, it seems you're the first person who isn't afraid of me. I don't know why, but every time I meet a stranger, they have the same disgusted expression as this girl.”
“I'm sorry, I apologize to you on her behalf.”
“It's okay, I don't mind. Heh heh heh—”
When Shimazaki Yosuke wasn't smiling, although his appearance was a bit frightening, he actually had more of a cool demeanor; however, when he smiled, he looked especially scary—Zun Zun knew it was impolite to judge someone's appearance, but he also hoped he could restrain himself a bit.
“Speaking of which, Wolf Gamblard.”
“Eh!? Where!?”
Hey, that's your name, remember it!
“Oh, oh... Y-Yes, it's me.”
Shimazaki Yosuke belatedly pointed at himself, while scratching his head embarrassedly.
Zun Zun didn't want to criticize his cautious approach, but instead asked: “You've been hiding in that corner over there since just now, right? Why didn't you take action earlier? And why did you originally want to leave, but then turned back?”
“Actually, I was already nearby when this elf lady was fighting the poison dragon.”
...Could it be that this guy had been secretly observing the whole time, without any intention of taking action?
Not only Zun Zun, but the beautiful elf girl was also stunned.
“I originally wanted to take action, but after seeing you successfully take care of that poison dragon, I felt that maybe there was nothing for me to do, so I thought about leaving.”
“Then why did you come back?”
“Just now, you said Japanese, right? And also the language of the Pretty Country, so I thought you might be like me, an otherworldly person.”
Shimazaki Yosuke's explanation was too normal.
Then, with a somewhat troubled expression, he said: “I've only been in this world for 9 days, a little something happened, and although I smoothly started my otherworldly adventure, I still want to go home, and I'm searching everywhere for clues to return to my homeland. Because... there's still a girl waiting for me to save her!”
“...”
“There's still a girl waiting for me to save her!”
He said it twice.
It wasn't clear whether this sentence moved the beautiful elf girl, but she lowered her guard against Shimazaki Yosuke a lot, and didn't treat him as a beastman from the start.
“Makka Pakka, Upsy Daisy?”
“Eh, is that so?”
“Waybuloo, Waybuloo Baboo?”
“How could it be...”
It was unknown what the beautiful elf girl and Shimazaki Yosuke said, but in any case, he looked greatly shocked, and his whole person became a lot more desolate, falling into silence.
“What's wrong, that expression?”
“...Just now, the elf lady said that the otherworldly transferers who came to this world haven't heard news of them returning to their original world, it seems there's no way to go back. How could it be... the girl I have to save... Damn it!”
Shimazaki Yosuke cried bitterly.
That sorrowful appearance, even the beautiful elf girl couldn't bear to comfort him a few words.
But if she knew that Shimazaki Yosuke's so-called girl he had to save was actually a virtual character in a game, it was unknown whether she would explode with anger.
“Don't worry, Wolf Gamblard.”
Zun Zun also patted his shoulder.
“Actually, I do have an idea, maybe it's possible to go back.”
“...Really?”
“Probably.”
Then he told the current him the theory that Shimazaki Yosuke had come up with when he wanted to return to the modern world—using huge energy bodies to collide with each other to create a spatial passage back.
Although Shimazaki Yosuke didn't end up returning using this method, Zun Zun felt that this was undoubtedly a possibility. The only reason it didn't succeed was that the degree of energy collision wasn't enough.
Others wouldn't know, but as long as a small opening was broken, Zun Zun would be able to use the crown's ability to go back.
“—I too, have someone I must take down.”
This time when I go back, I must turn Mr. Baniel's mask's II into III!
The two of them immediately reached a united front.
“Waybuloo, Waybuloo Baboo!”
Seeing that they were getting along well, the beautiful elf girl seemed a bit dissatisfied that she was being excluded, and she loudly threw a tantrum at Shimazaki Yosuke.
“Damn elf, so annoying...”
Shimazaki Yosuke said impatiently.
“...What, you're asking me why I can understand Zun Zun speaking? How would I know, I just naturally understood it. ...Let you understand too? I'm telling you, do you even understand, I myself don't know how I understand it, how can I help you?”
It was unknown if it was a misconception, but Shimazaki Yosuke had a very bad impression of the beautiful elf girl, it seemed to have started when she called him a beastman.
Zun Zun knew why Shimazaki Yosuke could understand him speaking.
It must be the ability given by the Otherworld God.
Because when Shimazaki Yosuke was being beaten up by the otherworld people, he thought it would be good if they could communicate and understand each other, so he got the 【Omnipotent Persuader】 ability—as long as you sincerely want to, you can communicate with all conscious beings, including Fairies.
Fairy?
The newest and most complete novels are at 69shuba.
Ah, I remember now!
Zun Zun found a way to communicate with the beautiful elf girl, which was to connect, to connect the consciousness of the two together for communication.
Entrust this matter to Shimazaki Yosuke to convey.
“Eh, it's actually possible to do such a thing, so amazing!”
On the contrary, he seemed very friendly towards Zun Zun.
Then, under the beautiful elf girl's bright-eyed and expectant gaze, he slowly sent the quasi-Fairy Little Green into her body to connect.
“Ugh!”
Sure enough, even an elf couldn't withstand the sensory chaos brought about by the connection, and she immediately fell to the ground.
“Are you okay, elf lady!”
“N-No, it's okay... Eh, I can actually understand it?”
The beautiful elf girl was stunned for a moment.
“Yes, because Fairies are the bridge connecting consciousness, they act as a transfer station or a translator, and can use them to know each other's thoughts. In addition, this ability can be used even if you don't speak or are not nearby.”
Zun Zun extended a hand to the beautiful girl on the ground.
“So amazing.”
“Thank you for the praise.”
Then he introduced himself to the beautiful elf girl, but after thinking about it, she wanted Zun Zun to just call her 'Elf', after all, she was the only elf currently active outside.
“That won't do.”
“Eh?”
“Names are very important, it's very rude to only use code names to address people you know!”
Zun Zun said this.
“I think so too.” Shimazaki Yosuke shamelessly echoed. You, who uses a fake name, are the least qualified to say that.
“My name is...”
“The name is?”
“...Suitsuiro Kirazekaga Runeirurureia Ageranzelga Elga.”
“Yes! Miss Suitsuiro Kirazekaga Runeirurureia Ageranzelga Elga! Also, Elf lady, your name is a bit lengthy, if it's convenient, please allow me to call you Miss Elga. This should be your surname, right?”
S-So, so amazing...
Even though he's human, he can accurately say the elf's name without error.
You should know that the humans she met in the beginning, after knowing their names, had an awkward expression that they wanted to call out but couldn't.
This can't be helped either.
Who made the names of the elves not only long, but also those words were pieced together without any relation, coupled with not understanding the culture, it was easy to bite your tongue when pronouncing them.
“It's okay, Miss Elga.”
“Eh?”
“I can still remember a mere name!”
Zun Zun smiled and raised his thumb.
This isn't him boasting, but the names of the Crimson Demons are more bizarre than the next, and sometimes you don't even understand the meaning.
But the Crimson Demons just think that such names are cool. Therefore, even if the names of the elves are a bit lengthy and complex, it's not difficult for Zun Zun, who has already been assimilated by the Crimson Demons.
On the contrary, it was Shimazaki Yosuke—
“Su, Su...” His tongue was already cramping.
But this guy's brain turned pretty quickly, after hearing Zun Zun call the elf 'Miss Elga', he followed suit.
The beautiful elf girl didn't have any expectations for Shimazaki Yosuke, but instead said to Zun Zun: “Speaking of which, Zun Zun, you said you were an otherworldly person, right?”
“Yes! To be honest, I only came to this world today.”
“Then you should first go to the Temple of Knowledge to learn the general language of this world.”
That's right, after all, I don't have Shimazaki Yosuke's 【Omnipotent Persuader】 that can naturally communicate with all creatures, learning the language is necessary to be active in this world.
“Okay! The first stop will be the Temple of Knowledge! But...”
Zun Zun looked at the beautiful elf girl who was ragged and very embarrassed.
“Before that, we have to go to town first.”
“Uuu ~ ~ ~”
He got a shy whimper from the beautiful elf girl.
