Reincarnated As An Ogre, I’m Going To Enjoy Life In This Other World! - Chapter 20

The morning after being with Elma, I woke up to the sunlight streaming through the window. As I raised my body, I felt something heavy on my arm. Looking down, I found Elma sleeping with my arm as her pillow, both of us still naked.

(That’s right… yesterday… with Elma…)

I recall what happened yesterday, feeling a bit embarrassed. As I moved, Elma reacted and woke up, still groggy with her eyes half-closed.

Elma sits up and looks around, her eyes meeting mine.

“Ah, Kingil-san… good morning.”

“Ah, good morning, Elma.”

“Huh? Why is Kingil-san in my room…?……!!”

Finally realizing the situation, Elma’s face turns bright red and she hides her body with the sheets.

“Ah! What have I done…!”

Elma, perhaps recalling yesterday’s events, begins to feel dizzy with embarrassment, her eyes spinning.

“Are you okay?”

I look at her face with concern, and Elma hides her face even more, covering it with the sheets.

“Uuuhhh~”

From beneath the sheets, I hear Elma’s muffled groaning, so I decide to wait until she calms down.

A few minutes later, she slowly came out from under the sheets.

“Sorry, I lost my composure.”

“No, no, it’s fine.”

“I’m sorry about yesterday too… I… did something like that…”

Once again, Elma’s face turns red.

“No, I’m the one who should apologize. I went a bit rough, didn’t it hurt?”

“It was totally fine! I… it felt really good…”

Both of us get embarrassed, and an awkward silence falls. I get off the bed, trying to change the subject.

“S-So, how about we clean the room first? It’s in pretty bad shape.”

“Yeah, let’s do that!”

So, we put on our clothes and start cleaning the room, opening the windows to let in fresh air, wiping the floor with a rag. As we’re tidying up, Elma suddenly speaks up.

“Kingil-san… are you leaving soon?”

“……”

I was contemplating what to do in this world. The goddess gave me this body and a new life, and now I want to experience everything I couldn’t in my past life.

“Yeah, I was thinking of traveling around the world.”

“I see…”

Elma wears a slightly sad expression.

“The time I spent in this village was truly wonderful, the villagers were so kind to me, but… I need to go…”

“That’s alright! If it’s what Kingil-san has decided, then you should follow what you feel is right.”

“Elma…”

“But… will you visit this village again?”

“Yeah! I’ll definitely come back to this village… to see you, Elma.”

“Yes!”

Elma nodded with a smile, and then she accompanied me as I said my goodbyes to the village chief and the people who had taken care of me.

“Thanks to Lord Kingil, we’ll be able to get through this winter easily.”

“I’m glad I could be of help.”

“Kingil-san, take this with you, the size should be just right.”

The women of the village made me clothes that fit perfectly, and they were designed the same way as the ones worn by the villagers.

“Thank you so much! I really appreciate it.”

I received food, cooking utensils, and other items from the villagers, all packed into a backpack.

“I really appreciate everything you’ve done.”

“Please feel free to visit the village anytime.”

“Kingil-san, we’ll be waiting for you.”

I say my goodbyes to Elma and Mia as well.

“Well then, take care everyone!”

I waved goodbye as I left the village, and the villagers waved and shouted, ‘Come back soon!’ Elma continued waving until the very end.

Though I felt a bit lonely, I looked forward, steeled myself, and stretched my hand out toward the sun.

“Alright! I’m going to enjoy this new life to the fullest! Just like an ogre!”

Caw… caw…

So there are crows in this world too…
