Heat the Pig Liver - Volume 1: Chapter 4

Chapter 4 – There’s Always a Reason Behind Each Rule

It was the next morning.  The day has finally come to enter the Forest of Needles; the capital wasn’t that far away.  Our fates will probably be decided today.

 

With that in mind, my heart inexplicably asserted its presence.  Jess seemed nervous too as she kept biting her lower lip.  Brace remained silent as before, like a doll.  It was as if nothing had happened at all last night.

 

─Did something happen last night?

 

Jess inquired with keen ears.  Uh oops.

 

(I had a short conversation with Brace, that’s all.)

 

No matter how she asks, I won’t tell her that we were secretly watching and smiling about Jess’ sleeping face.

 

─Eh, my sleeping face…?  How embarrassing…

 

(I was just messing with you.  I fabricated a monologue.  If you don’t want to be fooled, don’t read my mind without permission.)

 

Jess covered her mouth in surprise before looking at me and puffing her cheeks out.

 

─Then please don’t look at my underwear without permission either.  Even though what I’m wearing today is one that I particularly like.

 

Eh, really…?

 

I panickingly wanted to take back what I said, but the smart me notices that the premise of being able to look at her underwear without permission was abnormal in the first place.

 

And the even smarter me realizes that we were having such a silly conversation because we were desperately trying to avert our eyes from the fear of death.

Chapter 3 – Don’t Laugh at Someone’s Prayers

Nott had his dog by his side as if it was par for the course.  Its name was Rossi.  He was a large white dog and had a demeanor that if you told me he was a wolf, I’d have believed you.  His left leg also had a silver anklet tightly fastened to it.  He was extremely friendly, and kept sniffing Jess’ bare legs.  “Let me smell them too” is a thought that I kept to myself.

 

Based on Nott’s advice, the best route to take after leaving the village was to first cross the Valley of Oil and spend the night at a major city known as Munires.  We’ll procure some food there, and spend the next night at the Cross Rocklands.  After traversing the rocky area, we’ll apparently arrive at a hilly terrain where we can head straight towards the center where the capital will be located at.  The capital is surrounded by a dense forest called the Forest of Needles.  Not only is that place a hotbed for Yesma hunters, it’s also inhabited by many hecklepons.  Thus, Nott proclaimed that he’ll burn it all down in the future.

 

A cute girl, a handsome guy, a pig, and a dog.  This strange party embarked on its journey.

Chapter 2 – Nine Times Out of Ten, Handsome Guys are Sleazebags

Sunlight shone through the gaps between the trees in the dusky forest.  Judging by the angle it was coming from, it must still be early morning.  I woke up in a place that looked like a secret hideout as I was surrounded by dense shrubberies.

 

Something was on top of my abdomen.  A blonde girl was using me as a pillow to sleep.

 

I steadily got up on all fours.  Jess’ head slipped from my stomach and landed on the wooden board.  Perhaps it was because she will be traveling a while that she wore an aqua blue one-piece dress, but it gave the impression of being more lighthearted than before.

 

“Nyafuuun…”

 

She made a strange noise and placed a hand over her head.

 

(Oops, my bad…)

 

At the same time, I recalled what had happened up until now.  I became a pig, danced at the festival, reunited with Jess under the beautifully moonlit night, locked that guy into the warehouse…

Chapter 1 – Otakus Enjoy Cute Girls Treating Them Like Pigs

Through this story, this is the only thing I wish to convey to everyone: heat the pig liver.  Seriously, don’t even think about eating it raw.

 

…You still want to eat it raw?  You sure are stubborn.  I guess it can’t be helped.  For those who refuse to listen, let me briefly explain my situation.  I’m currently covered in mud and curled up on the floor of some dimly lit shed.  Why am I covered in mud, you ask?  Well that’s because the floor is actually dirt, and all around me are pigs.  In fact, this place looks like a pigpen.

 

If I remember correctly, I curled up into the fetal position at the train station platform because a sudden sharp pain in my abdomen left me unable to stand.  As for what caused the pain, it’s probably because…

 

I ate raw pig liver.

Welcome!

Hello everyone, this blog is for me to post anything I've translated.
