Chapter 11: Guilty
She brought the woman to his cabin and laid her down on the wooden bed. He noticed that she was wearing a European royalty-style gown, but it was in poor condition, with scratches and bite marks. Nakami guessed that she might be a princess from a European country.
She had long, blonde hair, bright blue eyes, and a classic, feminine appearance. Her features were delicate and symmetrical, with high cheekbones and a clear complexion. She also had a slender figure, which gave her a regal appearance. She appeared to be in her early twenties, and was about 10 cm shorter than Nakami. (A/N : Nakami's height 175 cm)
Nakami left some dried meat, bananas, and boiled water by the bed in case the woman woke up while he was away. He felt uncomfortable being in the same room as her while she was unconscious, so he went to take a nap in his storage hut.
"Three hours of sleep should be enough," he thought. He set a timer for three hours and then lay down on the ground, covered by dry leaves, inside the small hut.
"Buzzzz buzzzz"
The timer on Nakami's phone buzzed loudly, waking him up. He groggily reached over to turn it off.
He rushed to the cabin to see if the woman was awake. He was shocked to see that she had already finished the food and drink he left for her, but she must have fallen back asleep.
He noticed that she was wearing the clothes he had made for her yesterday, which made him feel a bit sad as he hadn't had a chance to wear them himself yet.
"He stepped out of the cabin and went to start processing the rabbit he had hung up before sleeping. He carefully skinned and gutted the rabbit to extract the meat. After cleaning the meat, he boiled some of it and dried the rest on a rack. He then checked his phone to see how much 'E' he had.
[ 70E earned. 148E left ]
"Hehe. It's always a good feeling to see the amount of 'E' increasing, no matter how small the amount may be."
As the morning approached, Nakami was hard at work digging a deep hole in the corner of his base. He was building a basic but functional wooden toilet. The hole was deep enough to ensure proper waste disposal. The toilet was surrounded by wooden walls and topped with a simple roof made of palm leaves.
"I made it look just like in a classic war movie!" He gazed at his building with pride, but then he realized the woman was still sleeping.
"How long is she going to sleep?" He longed for his room, especially the sound of the ticking clock and his bed, even though it wasn't the most comfortable bed.
Nakami decided to make mutton soup using the boiled rabbit meat. He thought back to the videos he had watched in preparation. The aroma of the mutton soup filled the air in his base, so he took a bowl and went to eat it under the forge hut since he couldn't go inside his cabin.
As he ate the mutton soup, he received a notification from his apps indicating that he had unlocked a new achievement which he earned by making five dishes using any recipes.
[Mischief Chef] - Able to cook faster, more efficiently, and improve his proficiency in using kitchen tools.
"Now that I have the cooking perk, I should explore more and gather more ingredients, especially spices, to use in my cooking!"
He finished washing the bowl he used, which was difficult because it was a bit oily from the fats in the mutton soup. Suddenly, he heard a woman calling out to him. He turned around to see her standing behind him, looking hungry and eyeing the extra bowl of mutton soup.
Nakami quickly poured the soup into another bowl and gave it to her along with a spoon. The woman eagerly ate the soup and finished it in just a minute and a half.
Nakami decided to start a conversation, since the woman had been there for a while and he knew nothing about her. He also felt a tinge of sadness as he saw her wearing his clothes and shoes.
"Uh, hello? Do you understand me? If you do, please say something. I'm Nakami, the owner of this place," he said calmly, even though it had been almost five years since he last spoke to a woman.
The woman looked at him gracefully and then lowered her head for a moment before speaking.
"Good morning, sir. I want to thank you for saving me and for providing food and clothes. Let me introduce myself. My name is Alice Wonstein, I am the 7th Princess of the Wolfheim Kingdom. I was being chased by the rabbit that you used to make the soup. I've been running for six hours, but one rabbit kept chasing me until you caught it. Sir, I don't know anyone here and I don't have anything to survive on. Can I stay here? Can you help me?"
"Yes, you can stay here and I do hope you can speak normally to me. I'll build a new house later, so in the meantime, you can use the cabin. I'll call you Alice from now on. If you don't mind, can you share your age and what year you're from?" Nakami said calmly, but deep down he realized that the woman in front of him must have not come from the present time, before he was transported here.
"Thanks! I'm 20 years old and the youngest in my family of 7. I was born around the time of the black plague, but I'm not sure of the exact year. Back then, it was too expensive to have a clock like yours. Did I answer everything you wanted to know?"
Nakami remained quiet for a moment, then used his phone to find out the exact year of the Black Plague. He was shocked to find out it happened in 1346, almost 700 years ago. It was 2022 before he got transferred here.
"Wait a minute," he thought, "how did she get here? There shouldn't be phones there, right?"
Nakami then looked up and adopted a serious expression.
He turned to Alice and asked, "You don't have to answer this if you don't want to, but how did you get here?"
Alice was taken aback by the question. At first, she looked sad, but then she began to cry. It took her a few minutes to compose herself.
"I'm sorry about that. I was drowning and dying when I heard a strange voice offering me a second chance at life. I accepted, and before I knew it, I was here. I had a vision before I was sent here. I saw someone making a stone spear, but for some reason, I couldn't see their face. It was blurry. But now that I've been here for a while, I realize that you're the person from that vision."
"Sorry to hear that. This place doesn't seem like a great place to live. We can talk more later, but for now, you should rest inside the cabin and make it feel like home. I need to start building the house and do some chores. See you later!" With that, Nakami left the area without looking back. He felt sad for Alice's situation.
The person that Alice saw in her vision was definitely him. He remembered making the video before he was transferred here. He felt guilty, thinking that his mistake and selfishness might have caused her to end up here. He realized that he must have been dying before he was transferred here.
"Sigh, at least now I know something. Only people who are dying will see my videos and have the opportunity to come here. At least they won't be forced to come here."
Nakami spent the next 2 hours completing the upper part of the house using wood planks, then covered the top with clay roof tiles. The project took a lot of his wood supply, so he had to go out and gather more logs.
As the evening approached, Nakami was seen pulling his cart filled with wood logs, bananas, and fish. When he arrived at the storage hut, he was pleasantly surprised to find that his base had been cleaned and organized, and even the tools were shiny and new. Alice was there, boiling some water and cooking.
"Welcome back, sir. I've cleaned up the place, I hope you like it. I made fried bananas with what was left over. Here, drink and eat this. Let me unload the fruits and fish for you." Alice went over to the cart and began unloading the contents into the storage hut.
Nakami sat down to eat the fried bananas and was a bit taken aback by the unusual cooking technique. There was no flour used, and instead, rabbit fat was used as oil.
"It tastes good, should I tell her that? She looks so hardworking. Maybe I should cook dinner and show off my own cooking skills. It should be good, right?" Nakami thought to himself as he enjoyed his meal and drink.
