“Hey Shiki, what’s the meaning of this?! You can communicate with her, can’t you?” (Bouchi)
“Yes.
I can understand her words.” (Shiki)
“Huh? Is that true? Then why didn’t you tell me that?” (Bouchi)
“Sincerest apologies, milord.
You didn’t ask me after all.
But I thought that if it was milord, you would want to find some means to understand her.” (Shiki)
Well, it would surely have been a waste of time for Shiki to go through the trouble of translating when I had bought the [Translation Earring] already.

“Fine then.
How come she can communicate with you though?” (Bouchi)
“That’s most likely because we are beings from another world.
Ask Sol over there.” (Shiki)
When I asked Sol if she could understand Yofel, she also replied that she could also converse with her.

But there was one thing that still bothered me.

“I wonder how you guys were able to communicate with me then.” (Bouchi)
“Hmm… Probably because we’re your Familiars, no?” (Shiki)
At the time that I bought them, I thought I was just lucky that they happened to be able to speak human language, but that was probably just a trait attached to them being my Familiars.

Since I was Japanese, they came to be able to understand and speak Japanese.
Now that I thought about it, there was no doubt about it.
It was truly a convenient specification.

“I see.
Well, I do want to talk to Yofel.
In any case, please come to my location while being careful not to be seen by anyone.” (Bouchi)
Under my orders, Shiki, who understood the elf’s language, brought her to Warehouse No.

I couldn’t help but stare at the elf standing before me.

I knew from seeing her through the monitor that she was beautiful, but seeing her in person like this made me realize it was on a different level altogether.
It was as if an elf had actually jumped straight out of a video game.

As a woman, she was attractive, not just purely based on her facial features, but also in terms of her voluptuous breasts and slender waist.
She had long, slender, and well-proportioned legs that looked like they belonged on a model.
On the whole, she looked like a work of art crafted by the hands of God.

“….U-Ummm….” (Yofel)
“…! Ah, sorry.” (Bouchi)
I had just been silently staring at her, which seemed to have made her a bit uneasy.

“Nice to meet you.
My name is Bouchi Hiro.”

“…?! You can… u-understand me?” I’m Yofel! Yofel Sanbraun!”
“Then would it be alright for me to call you Yofel-san?” (Bouchi)
“No need for honorifics.” (Yofel)
“…Then you can call me however you like, Yofel.” (Bouchi)
“O-Okay… errr… Bouchi?” (Yofel)
Ah, so you’re gonna go with the last name then.
Well, not that I mind.

“Well, I was hoping you’d tell me a little bit about yourself.
Are you…from a different world?” (Bouchi)
“….Probably.” (Yofel)
“Probably?” (Bouchi)
“You see—” (Yofel)
After that, she told me that she had been picking plants in the forest where she lived when her vision suddenly went white, and afterwards she found herself standing in the middle of some strange, unfamiliar forest.

Naturally, she had panicked and immediately tried to leave the forest, but she was unable to do so.
That was when she met Otaka and his comrades.

“….The forest you live?” (Bouchi)
“The Forest of Femir—the forest blessed by the World Tree, Yggdrasil.” (Yofel)
Wow… There’s the classic fantasy genre lingo.

“The World Tree, Yggdrasil…? At the very least, there’s no such tree in this world.” (Bouchi)
“Ahh, so that really was the case… There are all these buildings and vehicles that I had never seen before, so I thought that it might be like this…” (Yofel)
I proceeded to tell her that this was Earth and we were in a country called Japan.
I also explained to her that most of the things that she saw were created by the development of science.
