The Strongest Onmyoji and the Shikigami With AI are Unparalleled in Another World ~ A Second Life Properly Enjoyed Using Artificial Intelligence ~-Chapter 138 - To Each Their Own
After spotting what seemed to be a dragon, we left the forest, walked back across the plains, and returned to Celia.
Upon arriving at the guild, we headed toward Pamela, who was playing with Tama-chan.
“Hey.”
“Welcome back. How was it?”
Pamela asked with a smile.
“It was cold.”
“I bet! It’s cold even inside the buildings here. So, did you catch anything? How about that wild boar stew?”
“Yeah, about that. Lily took down a big boar.”
“Heh!”
Lily puffed up her chest with pride.
“That’s amazing! As expected from Lily. Shall we head to the back right away?”
“Ah, wait a minute. I have something to report.”
“Hmm? A report? What is it?”
“Uh, well, in the forest, we saw a dra—”
Before I could finish, Alice and Lily tugged at my clothes and shook their heads.
Was it a bad idea to say it?
Maybe it’s an even bigger taboo than mentioning the demon race.
“Dra?”
Pamela tilted her head in confusion.
“Oh, no, sorry. Let’s talk about it tonight. You’ll be joining us for dinner, right?”
“Yes, definitely. I think Leanne-sama might come too.”
I should probably inform Leanne about it as well.
“That’s a good idea. Well then, let’s head to the back.”
“Okay.”
“Nya.”
With replies from Pamela and Tama-chan, we left the guild and headed toward the dismantling yard in the back.
When we entered the yard, Bart and the others were sitting around a campfire, just as they always were.
“Hmm? You guys are back already?”
Bart noticed us.
“Bart-san, Lily took down a wild boar.”
Pamela reported this as we approached the campfire, where the craftsmen were gathered.
“A wild boar!? At this time of year!? That’s amazing! As expected of an elf!”
Bart was astonished, and the surrounding craftsmen began to buzz with excitement.
“Heh! Impressive, right? Ta-da!”
With those words, Lily used her spatial magic to pull out the wild boar and some birds she had hunted. They had looked big in the forest, but even here in the wide dismantling yard, the boar was still quite massive.
“Wow, it’s huge! Oh, you even got some birds too!”
“My bow never misses!”
“That’s incredible, seriously! Alright, let’s get to work.”
The craftsmen became lively, crowding around the boar and birds.
“Even if you share it among your clan, there will still be plenty left over. What do you want to do with the rest?” Bart asked.
“We’ll sell it.”
“You don’t need the pelts or anything, right?”
“Nope, don’t need them.”
“Alright! I’ll get it all dismantled, so come back by the evening to pick it up. We can settle the payment then.”
If it’s ready by the evening, that should be plenty of time for dinner.
“Thanks for handling that.”
“Got it! Ah, work, work!”
Bart, looking pleased, went back to join his comrades and started working. We left the dismantling yard, parted ways with Pamela, and returned to the dormitory.
“Yuuma, I’ll handle picking up the meat and getting everything ready, so just wait in your room.”
“Oh, I’ll help too!”
When we returned to the dorm, Lily and AI-chan said that and went upstairs.
Left behind, Alice and I headed back to my room.
There, we found Annie lying in the kotatsu while making some kind of medicine.
“We’re back.”
“…We’re back.”
Alice and I said that as we settled into the kotatsu.
“Welcome back… so cold...”
“…Annie’s feet are warm.”
Seriously, though. Ever since we finished walking Koma-chan, she’d been in the kotatsu the whole time.
“It’s freezing outside.”
“Indeed. Where did you two go?”
Annie asked while mixing some kind of liquid with another. The color looks alarming, but it’s not poison, right?
“Lily made a clay pot and chopsticks for us, so we went hunting.”
“Oh… So you went all the way to the forest. Did you catch anything?”
“Lily took down some birds and a wild boar. So tonight’s dinner will be boar hotpot.”
“The one you mentioned earlier, huh? I’m looking forward to it… And what did you two catch?”
She said that in a teasing tone.
“Alice.”
“…Yes.”
Alice used her spatial magic to take out that flower and handed it to me. I placed it in front of Annie.
“Here.”
“Oh my? Giving me flowers—how lovely.”
“Right? It’s yours.”
“Thanks. The fact that it’s an ingredient for medicine to treat diarrhea completely ruins the romance, though.”
Not that lovely at all.

“You can make even something like that, huh?”
“Pretty much. I can make all kinds of medicine. If you have any troubles, just let me know, and I’ll whip something up for you.”
“I’ve already reverted from 99 years old to 20, so I’m feeling almost too healthy. The only thing I struggle with is getting up in the morning.”
Honestly, I’m really happy that my back pain and headaches are gone.
“Same here. Especially recently, I can hardly bear the thought of getting out of bed and coming all the way here.”
Just tough it out.
“Don’t you ever go hunting?”
“If I feel like it. Like this flower, there are ingredients that can only be harvested in winter, so I’ll probably go eventually. You guys are coming with me, right?”
“Of course, I’ll tag along anytime.”
Not like I have anything better to do.
“…If I feel like it. I prefer fishing.”
“I’ll join you for that, too.”
Though fishing in the winter sea sounds freezing.
“What’s so great about fishing? You two hardly catch anything.”
“We do catch fish.”
You’ve eaten them too, you know.
“…I caught one properly last time.”
“After spending an entire day and catching that little bit… You could just buy fish. With the money you make from a regular job, you could buy dozens.”
“…Classic example of a woman who doesn’t understand her husband’s hobby.”
“Then why don’t you try joining Natalia for knitting or something?”
“…You could just buy clothes.”
Hey…
“You’re in no position to talk about others…”
“…Sorry. I’ll go gathering with you.”
Well, you guys really should get out more anyway.
