Category: I Have a Slow Life in Another World

TN: Xmas 2021 The season is winter. Einzheil is wrapped in wintry scenery, with fluffy white snow falling steadily outside. It’s that time of year when stepping out means your breath turns white instantly. On a cold day like this, what else is there to do but curl up under the kotatsu and laze around?…

I walk through the castle. This time it’s different from before, open and proud. 「Ara, Shiro-san? Weren’t you at Kagetsu-dono’s place? Is something the matter?」 「Hmm. Came to play.」 Tachibana. A shinobi like Shion and Ayame. Pretty strong? Ayame is stronger. A little weaker than Shion, maybe. But she seems clever. 「I see. Then I…

We headed out to meet the boss of the woodworking guild. The very first thing everyone zeroed in on was, inevitably, my ears and tail. I had known this would happen, so I had prepared countermeasures in advance. 「Haaa…… I get the situation now. Since Tachibana-sama is here too, it doesn’t look like you’re lying……」…

Chun-chun! The cheerful chirping of a little bird full of energy wakes me, and I sit up. Still half-asleep and fuzzy-headed, I look around the room. My eyes catch the tail growing from my own body, so I hug it close, smoothing out the messy parts while realizing that yesterday’s events were not a dream.…

Right ear! Twitch twitch! Left ear! Twitch twitch! Both ears, folded down! Fluff! Tail! Mofu! ……Yeah. I can move them at will. And when I sit cross-legged, the tail, called Yae, curls around and settles on my lap. ……I can move it too, but I don’t have full control. Yae’s will can override mine. Priority………

There is an expression called “painfully pleasant”. It usually refers to something like a massage, where pain and pleasure arrive at the same time, but what I am experiencing now is a different kind of painfully pleasant sensation. 「Awa wawa!? Yae!? Wait! What’s wrong!? Why are you so excited…… Hyaaaa!」 On my face…… judging by…

Here we go! Today is another day of exploring Amatsukuni! The plan is to visit the carpenter guild master who helped build the Yutopola hot spring mansion with us, then greet Yuuki-san’s father Gouki-san, and carefully select items we can order regularly! And tea, of course, tea! Not just tea leaves, but matcha too! Once…

Here we go! Today is the Amatsukuni tour! I’m not a kid before a field trip, so I didn’t have trouble sleeping, but I woke up very early! We skipped breakfast and followed Shion to line up at a shop before it even opened, but these okaki are worth it. Fresh from the oven, warm,…

We left the Empire and continued west, traveling for several more days. After crossing the border checkpoint, the surrounding trees changed to pine and cedar, giving off a pleasant scent. The scenery began to feel somehow like an ukiyo-e painting, and then…… 「Here we are! The pride of Amatsukuni, the great capital! Daiguu!」 Shion stands…

We arrived in the imperial capital Lubeck of the Schwarzveldt Empire before sunset, but…… 「Welcome, my worthy rival. Unfortunately, my sister is not here! Nyah nyah nyah!」 The moment we entered the capital, imperial soldiers politely escorted us straight to the castle. I thought there must be some urgent business, but it turned out he…

Several days have passed since we left Einzheil. It is a lazy afternoon. We endured the bug zone by holing up in the carriage bed, and after entering the Empire, we have been traveling leisurely, enjoying the scenery from beside Shion, who is driving. 「Fum fum fufun fufufufun!」 「……You’re in a really good mood.」 「Of…

Only the soft clinking of pottery echoes through the alchemy room. Since Mizera is focused on making potions, I watch over her quietly from behind so as not to disturb her. 「……Fuu. Done.」 「……Five successes out of ten this time. Yeah. Pretty good.」 「Haa, I’m tired…… It’s still not stable yet. But at least I…

It happened while I was relaxing in the living room. A visitor came running in with loud footsteps, thudding heavily across the floor. And it turned out to be, of all people, her. 「Spit it out!」 「Spit what!? Gueh!」 She suddenly grabbed me by the collar, how am I supposed to spit anything out like…

Today the three of us, Wendy, Shiro, and I, are out shopping. Ever since Einzheil became a nation and the number of traveling merchants increased, new items appear on the stalls every single day, no matter how much we look around. That’s why lately, outside of work hours, we’ve been spending a lot of time…

Shion is strong. ……Apparently. More or less. 「Kyaaaaaaa!!」 She claimed herself to be strong, so she must be strong, but right now she’s enthusiastically running away. 「W-Wait, stop stop stoooop! Please wait, Shiro-san! No no no! This is impossible!」 「Hmm?」 「Tilting your head cutely isn’t going to work here! This is bullying! Newbie bullying! When…

A few days have passed since we made the contract. For some reason, today too I’m working in the alchemy room together with Guide-san. Normally Shiro, Mizera, or Wendy would be here with me, but Mizera is busy with the half-breed children, and Shiro and Wendy are out shopping. I actually wanted to tag along…

TN: 和国(Wakoku) is Japan’s ancient name. So, it’s basically saying ancient Japanese kingdom-style, Amatsukuni. It has been over ten days since Einzheil gained independence. After repeated negotiations with the kingdom, it seems a cooperative framework was established, and the nation was successfully founded. 「Good morning, Master!」 「Good morning, milord.」 「Morning. Smells good.」 「The bacon is…

This time there are no newly introduced characters, so it’s just the protagonist… and he hasn’t leveled up or grown at all. Well, it’s mostly for checking skill names and such… -0- Itsuki Shinomiya: Alchemist Lv28 HP 1300 / 1300 MP 8900 / 8900 STR (Strength): F VIT (Vitality): E INT (Intelligence): B MID (Mind):…

A leisurely afternoon teatime. In the impeccably maintained garden tended by Wendy, I savor my favorite luxurious moment of elegant relaxation. Only…… my teatime usually has someone training right in front of me. Today is no exception, of course…… but somehow, this one feels a little different. 「Haa! Haa! Hiii!」 「Hmm. Don’t run away.」 「I’m…

Well then, I suppose I’ll call it a day for work here. Good grief. With Reinrich-sama absent, I can’t use the alchemy lab properly. I figured no one would come in on Independence Day anyway, so I holed up in here……. But not being able to run experiments that produce dangerous fumes is honestly a…
