Life in Another World With Narration

7 – The girl with animal ears

『Yunoa was speechless at the overwhelming majesty of the trading ship ‘Akbari’.

This trading ship, with as many as 240 crew members on board, has 4 masts, 52 cabins, and a mana engine that allows it to sail even when there is no wind.

And it was equipped with 12 ballistas that could fight against pirates and sea monsters.』

Yes, it is truly amazing.

『Akbari, which was comparable to most military ships except that it lacked cannons, also had a large and sturdy luggage compartment.

It was rare to have the opportunity to not only see but also ride inside this masterpiece created by combining shipbuilding technology and magic arts.』

You’re cheating on me right now, right?

Now that you are immune to being criticized openly, are you going to turn around and criticize me like this?

I stood with a devastated expression on the deck of the trading ship ‘Akbari’ holding cleaning tools and sighed.

It was nice to go to the captain and ask for a job and get a cleaning job.

If you clean this ship, you get 1 gold.

For the money you can make from simple cleaning, it’s pretty good.

The problem was the enormous size of this trading ship.

I said I would do it because I was in a hurry for money, but when I actually stood on the deck, I couldn’t even think of cleaning it.

Can I really do this alone?

“Life… ….”

What can I do?

If you want to make money, you have no choice but to do it.

I held a mop in both hands and started wiping the deck from one corner.

* * *

The day passed and night fell.

I was still cleaning the trading ship Akbari.

The captain and the crew had all gone to the bar, so I was the only one on this ship.

The size of the ship was so large that there was no time to relax.

How much space is left to clean?

All visible decks were cleaned, and the mast was also completed.

However, the 52 cabins had not even been touched yet.

I’m making the most of the cleaning tips I’ve learned at church, but I haven’t even cleaned half of it yet.

In addition, the cleaning deadline is the day after tomorrow.

“Oh my, my waist…” ….”

Did the captain really think she could clean this ship by herself?

She knew that she would never be able to do it on her own, so she deliberately ordered it and planned to take money later…….

No, for some reason he didn’t seem like that type of person.

This is a person who didn’t want to make you work in the first place, but then made you do a job that didn’t exist because it was a matter of making a living.

After finishing cleaning the bow, I laid down on the clean deck to catch my breath for a moment and looked at the night sky.

The full moon with a bluish glow was floating large and countless stars were shining.

“You come to this world and suffer a lot.”

But I like it because the night sky is prettier than the world I originally lived in.

Adventurer…… When can I start?

I take a moment to reflect.

After taking a little rest while looking at the night sky, I started cleaning again.

She holds tools in both hands and pushes the mop with one foot.

My current self is truly that of a human vacuum cleaner, a master of cleaning.

If this continues, it won’t end up like ‘I became an S-class cleaner in another world.’

It was a little scary as it got dark at night.

I don’t believe in ghosts, but this is a different world, so it wouldn’t be strange if ghosts really existed.

It’s a world with things like magic, monsters, and demons, so of course there are things like ghosts.

When I thought about that, a chill ran down my spine and I felt like something would jump out of the darkness.

Let’s not have scary thoughts.

The more I think about this, the more scared I become.

The cargo hold of the Akbari was almost empty because all the trade goods she was carrying had been unloaded.

However, there were some wooden barrels and boxes piled up in one corner, but I couldn’t tell what was inside.

I started mopping from the end of the luggage compartment to where the wooden barrel was, as if I was doing a coloring book.

I hold a mop soaked in water in both hands and run towards a place where wooden barrels are piled up.

When the mop touches the wooden barrel, it immediately makes a U-turn and repeats running in the other direction.

It was a shortcut I often used during my school days, but if I didn’t use this method, I couldn’t finish cleaning this ship on time.

It’s just a little bit, but it’s also fun.

Uddadadadadada.

Go back to the other side.

Later, because even two hands were not enough, I ran with a mop just hanging on my belly button and using a mop samdoryu.

But that was the wrong choice.

Puck!

“Oops!”

Did I have too much fun running?

The mop that was hanging on the boat collided with the wooden barrel, and the handle pierced the boat.

“Wow… hehehe… ….”

A truly intense pain that feels like your internal organs are being twisted.

Of course it wasn’t serious enough to cause injury, but the pain was real.

I rolled around on the floor, clutching my stomach in pain that took my breath away.

But… ….

─Hi!

Huh? I just heard something.

I narrowed my eyes and listened carefully to the strange sound that suddenly came.

No way…… Are there really ghosts on this ship?

─Wow!

The moment I grabbed the mop to clean again, wondering if I had heard wrong, I heard a strange sound again.

This time, I was able to determine the direction from which the sound came.

This is the sound coming from the wooden barrel I just hit.

“What…?” Awfully… ….”

As I was thinking about ghosts earlier, goosebumps appeared on my arms and I was filled with fear.

The light of the lamp placed on the floor for cleaning in the dark seems strangely swaying as if it were going out.

For some reason, it felt like there was someone standing behind me, and it also felt like someone was looking at me from above.

What does narration do?

I wish you would come out quickly and say that you are not a ghost or something.

This damned voice is quiet when needed.

I can’t help it.

Now that things are like this, I have no choice but to confirm the identity of the sound with my own eyes.

I slowly approached the wooden barrel from which the sound came.

And then I took a deep breath and opened the lid of the wooden barrel.

“aaa!

As soon as I opened the container, a woman suddenly screamed and I screamed as well.

Inside the wooden barrel, a girl with animal ears was hiding with her body curled up.

* * *

“Like this! “I’m asking you for a favor!”

A girl with mysterious animal ears popped out of a wooden barrel, dropped to her knees in front of me, slammed her forehead into the ground, and cried out.

The fluffy, fluffy-looking tail that looks like a fox’s tail is gently swaying.

“I am truly sorry for sneaking on the boat! “Please don’t throw it into the sea or sell it as a slave!”

“No, I mean… ….”

“Meruru! He is a good prisoner! “I secretly ate only one meal a day!”

Boom! Thud!

A prisoner girl who called herself Meruru fell face down and banged her head against the floor, crying.

I guess they mistook me for a sailor from this ship.

What on earth is this guy?

It looks like he came aboard this trade ship without the captain’s knowledge.

I’m glad it’s not a ghost.

Anyway, I needed to calm down a bit.

If he stayed like this, this guy was going to hit his head on the floor until it bled.

“Well, let’s calm down first…” ….”

“Ugh! I’m sorry! Meruru I lied a little bit! In fact, I ate two meals!”

Boom! Thud!

“Hey! “Listen to what people say!”

“Hi!”

I couldn’t hear her, so I shouted, and Meruru lifted her head from her stomach and hiccuped.

The strange sound I heard inside the wooden barrel earlier was the sound of this guy hiccupping.

I hit the wooden barrel where Meruru was hiding so hard with a mop that she got startled and started to hiccup.

“I am not a sailor on this ship. “I’m just cleaning this ship.”

“… ….”

Have you calmed down?

“aaah! Please! Please don’t tell the sailors! I’m asking you to pretend not to know! “Meruru has work to do!”

Boom! Thud! Thud!

It hasn’t calmed down at all!

I hit my head so hard on the floor that I could feel the vibration in my feet as I stood in front of her.

Wouldn’t it hurt if I f*cked you like that? Could it be a stone head?

“If you hit your head on the ground one more time, I’ll hand you over to the captain!”

“Hi!”

My head hurt as I watched, so I made a threat that wasn’t a threat.

Only then did Meruru stop pounding her head on the floor, raise her head and look at me.

He’s a prisoner… ….

There really are such amazing races in this world.

It had large animal ears, which could be either a dog or a fox, sticking out from its head, and except for its soft-looking tail, it looked no different from the rest of the humans.

Looking closely now, this guy’s eyebrows are pickled radish eyebrows.

Except for the fact that she had ears and a tail, she was just an ordinary cute-looking girl.

『Far away, on the island of Helvetica across the sea, Meruru, a beastman who secretly boarded the Akbari, was terrified.

Yunoa viciously threatened to hand over this poor beastman girl to her captain.』

No, I didn’t say it with bad intentions.

It was certainly said in a threatening manner.

I heard that damn narrations often try to make people into bad guys.

Anyway, looking at the situation roughly, it seemed like Meruru had stowed away from a place called Helvetica Island.

Does that mean I feel like an illegal immigrant?

I don’t know what the situation was, but it wasn’t anything I cared about.

But there was no reason to capture her and hand her over to the captain.

“You said Meruru, right? Rest assured, I will never keep it a secret from anyone else.”

I sat down on one of her knees and looked at Meruru and said,

“Really! Thank you! “She is a good human being!”

“But… ….”

I handed out the mop I was using to Meruru, who was happy.

“Do you know how to mop?”
