Chapter 334: Memories
“I ran away from home and wandered through the woods, unable to even touch the mushrooms and rabbits that were lying around, and just when I thought I was going to starve to death, Mr. Aka appeared.”
After escaping from Hakuki, there was no sign of any pursuers, and as the atmosphere gradually calmed down, I talked about that time.
“I was like, ‘Ogre!?, you got to be kidding me!?’ It was so scary and I was getting ready to fight, but then that guy with a huge and rugged body like Aonii said, ‘I won’t do anything~'”
“Hah, that’s just like Aka…… he’s strong, but he’s a little timid.”
“Well~, on the contrary, he said to me, ‘you’re hungry?’ or ‘I don’t do anything bad to humans~’…… I met an ogre for the first time in my life, and I was like, ‘This is an ogre……!?’ well, that was a preconception.”
“Well…… I guess it can’t be helped. That’s what happens when a human suddenly encounters an ogre in the woods.”
“Well~, the house deep in the forest that I was taken to was a cozy wooden house with a handmade garden, and once inside, you will find elaborate carvings and accessories…… Oh, by the way, that’s where I got what I showed you earlier. So, he said that he was going to cook some food ~ When I stood in the kitchen, he swung a kitchen knife and a frying pan with great gusto, and served me a messy meat dish. No~, I traveled quite a lot, but the meat dish I ate at that time was really good.”
“Oh, he was certainly good with his hands, but before I knew it he was growing a garden and even cooking?”
“Yeah. And when I said that it was delicious, he gave a huge grin and said ’that’s good~’.”
