Chapter 2 – Recruiting Party Members

I opened the door and went downstairs, acting as if I had just woken up from sleep.

It was an action I made in anticipation that if there was someone I was hanging out with, they would greet me. However, since no one spoke to me after coming down, it was either that I had no companions with me or they hadn’t come down yet.

Was it some kind of acting?

“Hmm..”

It sounds like a growling noise.

I’m hungry.

It’s not a game, it’s real life, so it’s natural to be hungry.

Regardless of where I am right now, it’s reality, so I’ll have to refrain from judging by the standards of the game. Even in a place like a novel, when the world in the novel became a reality, isn’t it one or two things that I vaguely thought and judged that it was a novel and then saw a change.

Well… This is not a world in a novel, but a world in a game, so it may be a little different.

Anyway… I think I’ll live a bit by eating, but even if I tried to eat, I couldn’t even talk to him, as you can see from the bandage wrapped around my neck. I don’t even know how to use magic to talk to other people with magic.

I know that the way I usually speak is to send my will through telepathy, but there’s no way I can do that because I can’t use magic.

I looked around.

The food the adventurers woke up in the morning didn’t have much to offer, but it looked pretty appetizing, perhaps because of the fantasy-specific adjustments. I unknowingly swallowed my saliva and thought to myself how to eat.

First of all, the unit of money in the game was using gold.

I checked to see if there was gold in my pocket, but fortunately there was.

However, since there were limited places to spend money in the game, the problem was that we did not know exactly what the current market price was.

I check whether there is a party or not, and if not, I have no choice but to go directly to the clerk and eat.

I don’t know why, but I’m glad I can read.

If I hadn’t read the text, I would have been in big trouble.

I approached the clerk, thinking that if the clerk remembered me from yesterday, he would know if there was a party or not. The clerk at the counter looked back at me asking what was going on and greeted me happily.

“Oh, is that the kid who came yesterday? Uh .. Oh right .. Did she say she couldn’t hear me .. Uh ..”

No, I’m listening…

First of all, if you look at what I know as being unable to speak or deaf, it is not certain, but it is highly likely that someone spoke instead. If I hadn’t answered, then I would have told you about the bandage I put around my neck.

However, there was no possibility that this heroine I had changed, Lumia Secretis, would use her magic to inform me that she could not speak. Since she was a quiet heroine who rarely said anything else in the first place, that was certain.

The fact that I can’t speak is somehow recognized by the bandage wrapped around my neck, but I would not have said such things to a person I barely met at an inn by using magic “Reasonably” To say that I couldn’t speak or hear.

It’s true that I can’t hear you.

What I’m hearing right now is strange.

First of all, it was clear that there was someone else in the group besides me. If there was a party, there was a very high possibility that he would be the only warrior who could have a full conversation.

Yes, one of the rice cakes.

The only opponent who could talk properly was the hero. The reason for this is that it comes out when you look at the happy ending, so I don’t know exactly, but thanks to that, there are often stories that other heroines sweat when talking to Rumia without a hero.

And although it depends on the user’s playing style, the basic tendency is to have a kind personality like a eunuch and a harem male lead, so it’s likely that I told the clerk here that I couldn’t speak or listen.

As I was contemplating for a while, he tapped me on the shoulder and held out a plate with the name of the food written on it as if asking me what to eat. I was a little worried that it might not be read because it was a different world, but fortunately that didn’t happen.

Um… After all, shouldn’t people eat meat?

There are so many types of meat, it’s hard to choose one by one, and since it’s the first time I’ve seen a house, I’m not sure what’s good or what’s a trap.

It reminded me of the saying that when you have nothing to choose from, just ask for the one you are most confident in.

“…”

Come to think of it, I can’t speak.

This.

“Give me this.”

“..?!”

Startled by the voice behind him, he turned his head and made a sorry expression. Come to think of it, I couldn’t hear my voice, so I had to pretend I didn’t know what anyone was saying behind my back.

“Oh, are you here? I was in a bit of trouble when my party wanted to come out and eat alone…”.

“Ahaha..”

I turned my head and looked at the man behind me with a suspicious expression. A tall, brown-haired man with a handsome face beyond jealousy and even awe, was looking down at me with a worried expression.

“Let’s go to our seats.”

A man, no, if you know my name and call me friendly, there is only one. It’s not certain, but I couldn’t help but be sure when I saw the clerk who mentioned that he came with me yesterday and that it was for my party.

He is a warrior

.
.
.

“Are you okay?”

A question with multiple meanings.

First of all, asking me such a thing would mean that I also know that I have a hearing impairment of unknown reason that prevents me from hearing words because I am mute. It’s not enough to say it’s the only one, but the ones Rumia could properly talk to in the game were very limited.

The Demon King and the Warrior.

There were only sorcerers who could use telepathy.

I nodded.

“If you get the impression that the clerk is saying something strange, please tell me.”

Saying so, the hero put down the spoon in front of me.

I can do these things… First of all, the word “Kind eunuch” Doesn’t seem to have changed much as it came out in the game. Because I know that the setting that the main character, the hero, takes care of such a trivial place, definitely existed.

In the first place, as much as I act as the main character, the option to do something pops up, so from the point of view of the person who does it, I think it’s trying to flirt, but the main character’s setting is said to be because he cares for others without thinking.

Of course, most heroines gain favorability in this way.

I have no intention of moving on, but I mean.

“Food is out!”

A clerk came up from behind and put the food down in front of me.

Like before, I didn’t do the stupid thing of flinching at someone approaching from behind. As the clerk approached, I looked down at the food given to me, as if noticing it only then. Well, it wasn’t the food I chose because I wanted to eat it, but the warrior ordered it for me, but it looked delicious.

The warrior also ordered food, but for some reason he didn’t eat and just stared at me.

“…”

I can’t eat it if I look at it like that.

Since I was hesitating, the hero smiled and said he would eat it after seeing me eat.

No.. Is this because of the settings?

It seems a bit exaggerated, but first of all, the setting is the setting.. It’s a bit like saying that you shouldn’t trust the common sense in the game too much just a while ago, but right now, you have no choice but to judge your thoughts about the warrior with the common sense of the world in the game.

If I’m wrong, it’s no different from losing all my memories overnight.

First of all, act naturally.

I reluctantly sliced ​​the food with a knife and put it in my mouth.

“..!”

And..

Dog is delicious

What?

Did I like this in the first place?

“Is it delicious?”

Ah..

I had forgotten that the hero was looking at me.

At the hero’s question, I nodded slightly.

That’s about it.. It’ll be fine.

Thinking so, I speeded up my eating a bit.

“Yes, Rumia. I’m thinking of going to pick up the saintess who will be with us starting tomorrow.”

If there was a saintess to go with, there was only one.

Saint Cecilia.

Unlike Rumia Secretis, who is a mute wizard and has a small proportion in everyday life, Cecilia is very popular for her beautiful illustrations and the gap she reveals at night in contrast with the sincere figure of a saint.

There are many evaluations that not only the very well-made modeling, but also the 19-year-old scene was chosen very well, so it couldn’t be less popular.

I’m going to meet a character I’ve seen everything like that..

I want to prepare a little and go to meet him, but I don’t know how to use telepathy right now.

“…”

Nod

Finally, he reluctantly nodded.

At my answer, the warrior looked at me with a friendly smile, then gave a surprised expression for a moment, then pulled out a tissue and held it to my mouth.

“..?”

“It’s nice to see you eating deliciously.”

The hero said that and smiled, and he too began to eat.

…

I don’t know what to say, but I think I know why the heroines went crazy.

The face is cheating.

Whew.
