Reincarnated As An Ogre, I’m Going To Enjoy Life In This Other World! - Chapter 101

A few days after leaving the Beast Kingdom, I continued my aimless journey, moving from village to village. I had asked around the villages, but there didn’t seem to be anything worth checking out here, so I started thinking about heading back to the royal capital.

One day, while I was eating at a village tavern, the female innkeeper who brought my food said something like this.

“Are you from the Ogre Village?”

“Ogre Village?”

“Oh, is that not the case?”

I had never heard of such a place as Ogre Village before, but it was definitely something that piqued my interest.

“Where can I find it?”

“Ah, I’m not sure about the exact location, but I heard it’s in the forest on the outskirts of the village.”

“I see.”

I thanked the innkeeper and immediately set out to search for the Ogre Village in the forest. But searching through such a vast forest without any clues proved to be difficult.

It made sense; if it were easy to find, someone in the village would surely know the location. But everyone I asked said they didn’t know.

I searched until night but couldn’t find it, so I went back to the village and planned to try again the next day. After three days of this, I was beginning to think about giving up when something changed.

While walking, I heard the sound of water. I followed the sound and soon discovered a waterfall.

“I didn’t know there was a waterfall in a place like this.”

While I was mesmerized by the waterfall, I noticed a person sitting on a rock nearby.

“Hmm…? Ah!”

That girl wasn’t an ordinary person; her skin was blue, and she had two horns. Her hair was also blue, matching her skin, and styled in twin tails. I couldn’t tell her exact age, but she looked about middle school age. She was also wearing something like a kimono.

“Could she be an ogre?”

I was about to approach her to ask what was going on, but then I noticed she was crying. She was quietly weeping, and tears were falling from her face as she looked down.

As I was debating what to do, the girl who was crying noticed me first.

“Ah, um…”

“Are you… an ogre?”

She wiped the tears from her face and asked me that.

“Yeah, that’s right. I’m an ogre.”

“You’re not from the village, right? I’ve never seen you before…”

“Yeah, that’s right…”

After that, an awkward silence followed.

“…Do you have something to do in the village?”

“Yeah, that’s right. I heard there’s an Ogre village around here… and I was thinking of checking it out.”

“…Okay, I’ll guide you.”

“Is that okay?”

“Yeah.”

Saying that, the girl hopped off the stone she was sitting on and started walking.

“Follow me.”

“…Okay.”

For now, I followed the girl from behind. I was curious about why she was crying and other things, but it felt difficult to ask, so I didn’t.

The girl skipped through the rugged forest as if she were just going for a walk, and then we arrived at a certain cave.

“This way.”

“I see… no wonder it’s so difficult to find.”

The cave was cleverly concealed with trees and plants. I followed the girl as we made our way through.

“This is the Ogre village.”

“Wow… this place is amazing, it’s so beautiful.”

There was a beautiful village surrounded by rich nature, with a flowing river and fields. It looked just like a rural village in Japan.

“This way.”

The girl started walking again, and I followed. As I walked, I suddenly realized that there were no men around in the village.

I saw a few young boys here and there, but there were absolutely no adult men. I wondered about it, but the girl kept walking ahead, so I missed the chance to ask.

After walking for a few minutes, the girl stopped in front of a house that was somewhat larger than the others.

“What’s this place?”

“…”

The girl entered the house without saying anything, so I followed and entered as well.

“Mom.”

The girl called for her mother and walked deeper into the house.

(Mom… so this must be her house.)

“What’s wrong?”

“A guest.”

“A guest? At a time like this…”

“Never mind, just…”

I could hear the girl and her mother having a bit of a disagreement from the back. Then, the girl and a woman who seemed to be her mother came out.

“I’m sorry, we’re a bit busy right now…”

The woman, being the girl’s mother, had a similar appearance, just a grown-up version of the girl. However, since she was an adult, everything about her was larger.

Her clothing was the same kimono as the girl’s, but her br3asts was so large that it seemed like they might spill out, with her cleavage clearly visible. Her hips were also so tight in the kimono that it looked like it might tear, making it difficult to know where to look.

“What is it?”

“Ah, no! Sorry, it seems like you’re busy, so I’ll leave.”

I must have been lost in thought, as she spoke to me, causing me to panic. It seemed like she wasn’t really in the position to entertain guests, so I tried to leave, but then the girl ran up and grabbed my hand.

“Um…”

“…”

The girl just stared at me without saying anything.

“Saki… you’re causing trouble, let go.”

“…”

It seems this girl’s name is Saki, and even though her mother asked her to let go, Saki refused to release my hand.

“…Okay, I’m sorry, but could you please go along with Saki’s request?”

“Sure, I don’t mind at all.”

My original goal was to come to the village, so it was a welcome offer. Also, it seems there’s something going on with the girl and the village, which piqued my curiosity.

Upon hearing that from her mother, Saki released my hand and went back to her mother.

“Well then, please come this way.”

Guided by her mother, I was led deeper into the house.
