Sleepyhead Sees You From 100 Days Ago 43

Chapter 43 – Chapter 3: Charrak – 3

“Sister – Uncle – eat breakfast!”

Chii opened the door.

It’s already morning.

It seems like it’s been a while since the sun rose, but I guess the villagers were considerate of us who were deeply asleep and didn’t wake us up.

“Ugh…”

I slowly got up.

The first thing you hear is the sound of ravenous eating.

When I opened my eyes, I saw Uncle Posao eating food hungrily outside.

Ah, I slept with that pig.

It was so noisy all night, I don’t even know how I slept.

I got dressed and came out and received the food Chii brought.

Just as the village chief said not to expect much, the food was ordinary.

It’s three small pieces of bread, warm garlic stew, and stir-fried turnips.

But where is this?

While I was trapped in the mountains, all I could eat were berries, mushrooms, and rabbit meat, so all of these were sweet delicacies.

I took a bite of the stew… Delicious!

It was so delicious that I cried.

I ate it as leisurely as possible, savoring the aroma.

After finishing the meal, I went out.

Uncle Posao was still eating.

Now I see that the bread he received was much bigger than mine.

There were a variety of side dishes and a lot of them.

At first, she thought that since Mr. Po Sao was fat, she would eat that much, so people would take more care of her.

But I soon came to the conclusion that it wasn’t just that reason.

“Mr. Modales. “Let’s try this too.”

“This too.”

“How do you feel?”

The villagers offered various things to the man who was eating frantically.

Why?

The village people were very kind to Uncle Posao.

He didn’t even talk to me, but he only talked to the man first and asked if he needed anything.

“Sister. Did you sleep well?”

“Huh. “It was good.”

“Does food fit your taste buds?”

“It was delicious!”

The only person who talks to me is Chii.

It seemed like Chii wanted to be hugged, so I held her in my arms.

The girl chattered excitedly.

“I made the stew! “Mom made the turnips!”

“Chii did it? It was very delicious, and you did a great job!”

“Hi-Hi. But my mom is a better cook. “She cared that she cooked for him.”

“‘She cared’? I guess you knew that you were a gourmet. Well, it does look that way.”

Chii shook his head.

“Uhm- you’re a man!”

“Huh. It’s a man. But?”

“You have to be nice to the male customer.”

“Ah… Is that why?”

It was only after listening to Chii’s explanation that I began to understand the questions that had been bothering me.

In Charrak village, men took priority in everything.

It seemed like the reason Uncle Posao was treated generously was simply because he was a ‘man.’

The reason why the village chief gave me a hint yesterday was because there is a custom that women should not intervene in conversations between men.

There were separate jobs for men and women in Brisden, but not to this extent.

Even if everything else is the same, I feel a little sad that even food is discriminated against.

But it can’t be helped.

This is a unique feature of this town.

When looking into why this custom arose, it was easy to infer from the fact that there were almost no men in Charrak.

Uncle Joseph said that every time a war breaks out, the seed of a man dries up.

Perhaps the aftermath still remains in this town.

I was leaving the village tomorrow anyway, so I decided not to be sad.

“Chii, I’m going to help mom! See you later – Sister!”

“Goodbye.”

After seeing Chii off, I lay down in the room again and rested.

Sleep sweetly, which you missed because of Uncle Posao.

It wasn’t until daylight that I had time to look outside.

While everyone was busy doing their jobs, I was the only one who was free.

How many turnips can I get by helping out in the field?

While I was thinking about this and that, a boy suddenly came to me, fussing.

It was Fache.

The guy immediately asked.

“Stranger sister. “Isn’t Chii here?”

“You said you were going to help her mom in the morning?”

“Nothing.”

Fache sighed as if she was annoyed.

“Hey, that’s annoying. “You have to find it again.”

“Didn’t Chii tell you where you were going?”

“I didn’t. “You ignored what I said.”

And then she clenched her fists as if she would get scolded if she got caught.
He was a boy with a temper that reminded me of Ruyev when I was young.

“Then I have to go find it.”

“It’s okay. “I probably went outside.”

“I heard it’s dangerous outside? “Don’t you have to bring Chii?”

“No. Since I came looking for you, you keep wandering around as you please. Chii, that guy, you need to know how scary it is out there.”

I felt like I had prepared myself well for today.

However, unlike the firm tone of voice, a slightly anxious expression appeared at first glance.

A face that just hopes that nothing happens and that you come back quickly.

Mouth shut, eyes filled with worry.

“…”

When I had an accident in Behemoth and returned with Ruev carrying me on my back.

I remembered Ritz’s face running towards me.

It was the same. The facial expression at that time.

Because I was so worried… Ritz must have been angry too.

When I think about it, it’s all my fault.

On the contrary, I felt so sorry for shouting that it was unfair.

“Fache. “Would you like to come here for a moment?”

“Huh?”

The boy walked steadily.

I faced the guy face to face and asked in a serious voice.

“Fash… Do you like Chii?”

“… What?!”

Fache, startled, hurriedly threw up his arms.

“No! Tsk… What’s so good about that guy! I’m just…”

“So, you’re worried, right?”

“…”

The boy scratched his short head in silence.

He couldn’t even make eye contact with me, as if he was embarrassed to answer.

“I know that? Chii seemed to like Fache. He praised you a lot. He treats me well and is dignified-.”

“… Hmm. Hmm.”

“What does Fache think of Chii?”

“What? Chii is kind and pretty…”

“Therefore. “A precious friend, right?”

Fache lowered her head.
She silently tapped the ground with her toes and nodded her head.

“Yes.”

“Then, shall we go find our precious friend together?”

“… Yes.”

We entered the mountain.

Fache knew the surrounding area well.

She looked around, saying she knew the route Chii often took.

When she soon arrived at the place where Chii and I first met.
She was able to find a girl sitting quietly in the crevice of the rock.

Fache ran there as fast as he could.

“Chii!”

“Fache? Tia?”

The boy hugged the girl tightly.

Chii was startled and dropped the flower she was holding.

“Chii! Why are you here! “I told you to stay home!”

“… “I’m sorry.”

“That’s it!”

Fache held Chii’s hand tightly.

Then he stammered the words I had taught him.

“Chii. Uh, so… Because I don’t mind going outside… Promise! “You will definitely come with me!”

The last part was almost like I closed my eyes and screamed.

After hearing Fache’s shy confession, Chii smiled brighter than ever.

“Huh! Promise!”

We returned to the village together.

Chii and Pashu were giggling among themselves and talking.

It looked really friendly and peaceful.

As I watched her with joy, I remembered my memories with Ritsu.

When I was young… It was good.

I loved being with Ritz so much that I had fun every day…

Sigh – I want to go back to Brisden.

I want to cry in Ritsu’s arms and let her go crazy.

But… There is still a long way to go.

We couldn’t even reach Deseo.

I need to exert a little more strength. We need to revive the Ritz.

I made such a firm promise.

“But you’re a stranger.”

“Huh?”

Fache asked.

“Chii says so. “I heard you have a friend your age that you like too?”

“Huh! There is.”

“But why are you dating that guy?”

“… Huh?”

I blinked.

“What do you mean?”

“The village chief said that you and your sister are lovers? Mom says that too.”

“Huh. Chii heard the same thing.”

“What?”

I didn’t understand for a moment, so I was frozen for a while.

Posao and I are lovers?

The age difference between me and that pig is enough to change my mood three times?

How can the people of this village make such bizarre illusions?

No, no. Even if I’m mistaken, isn’t a father-daughter relationship more likely?

That guy is even older than my mom!

Just thinking about it, who would spread such disgusting and shameful rumors?

“Uh, your face is red.”

“Puh-ha-ha!”

Wait, wait…

Let’s think calmly.

No. The Charrak people were not mistaken.

There is no way the village chief would have said something like that on his own.

I knew that from the beginning.

That’s why he gave me and him the same room.

… Then last night.

There is only one person who will lie to the village chief and say that we are lovers.

“…”

I should have killed him too.

“Hey guys. “I have places to go first, see you later!”

“Sister is running away!”

“Ahaha!”

I ran.

I ran like crazy.

“Ha. Ha.”

When I came to my senses, I had already arrived at Chii’s house.

When I went inside and opened the door, Posao, who had been lying down, woke up in surprise.

“… T, Tia? “You’re here!”

“…”

“Well, welcome back! I heard the story from the village chief… If we go back a little bit to the north…”

“…”

“Tia? “Why, what’s wrong?”

I lifted my leg.

Posao stared at the soles of my feet and trembled as if he sensed the fate that would befall him.

“Excuse me… With our words…”

Poop!

“Koop!”

My feet are buried deep inside my belly.

The man who had been hit in the stomach fell to the floor, making the sound of a pig being cut.

“Now, wait… ! Tia!”

“‘Lover’?”

“That is… Kuek-!”

The pig rolled over and fell against the wall in a kick that took all of its might.

Of course, the anger did not go away to this extent.

It was when we were rolling up our sleeves and making preparations for ‘summary disposition.’

“Tia! My… “Listen to me!”

The man desperately fell flat on his face.

When he took this ‘posture of submission’, he was so agile that even a rabbit would go away.

“First, I’m sorry! Under… But I couldn’t help it!”

“… ‘I couldn’t help it’?”

Uncle Posao glanced to see who was outside.

When he confirmed that no one was there, he fell flat again and giggled.

“I wish I hadn’t said that Tia was my lover… Tia might get kicked out…”

“Are you going to be kicked out? Why me?”

“People here… Because I hate women… They only accepted me and tried to kick Tia out… So I… Tia said she would be my wife…”

“…”

Her head was pounding.

She tried to see what kind of trivial excuses he would come up with, but after listening to her, it turned out that what he said was not completely absurd.

There was definitely that kind of atmosphere in this town.

Even though I’ve been staying here for almost a day, I can count the number of people I’ve talked to on one hand.

Even that was all I talked to with Chii and Pashu.

On the contrary, there were always people around Uncle Posao.

The village people always took care of my uncle and treated him well.

At least the reason I was treated to a hot spring bath and breakfast wasn’t because I introduced myself as ‘Uncle Posao’s lover’ and that’s what I received?

If she said she had nothing to do with you.

He may have really been kicked out of the village.

Uncle Posao prayed wholeheartedly.

“I’m sorry for speaking arrogantly… Tia. But that’s all I can think of…”

“Ha-. That’s it.”

I lost all my energy.

At the same time, my legs lost strength and I stumbled.

Uncle Po Sao looked up at me from her side.

“Gwae, it’s okay…” ? “My legs are shaking?”

“It’s because I’m a little tired.”

You’re dating that pig.

No matter how much it’s a lie, I don’t want to die.

The fact that others saw me that way until now was so shameful.

But if that’s why I was able to stay in this town… There was no reason to be sensitive.

It’s not like I’m going to live in this town forever.

I’m leaving tomorrow anyway.

“Mr. Modales?”

I heard a voice outside looking for the man.

Posao got up in a hurry and ran outside.

“Yes, yes… !”

“Oh! Mr. Modales! Why is your face so red?”

“Ahaha… Oh, it’s nothing…”

“Ho ho ho! Is that really it? Hot times? “Aren’t we the ones who interfered?”

“Oh, no…”

“It must be difficult for Mr. Modales to handle having a lover so young.”

I didn’t want to hear anymore, so I slammed the door.

My body trembles with shame.

Really… It gives me goosebumps.

With what kind of face should I look at the faces of the villagers?

Everyone me… I would look at it with the eyes of ‘that pig’s woman’…

I didn’t have the confidence to endure that terrible and fearful gaze.

Until I leave town tomorrow.

I should quietly stay in my room and not meet anyone.
