[Umm… First of all, a single shot….]
When I was 100 meters away from the target, I flick the safety lock and pulled the trigger of the rifle.
Before long, it turned noon, so I ended the test fire to eat my meal.
After that, I boarded the truck and left from the back gate.
Once the truck was outside the gate, I exited the truck to lock the gate from the inside. Afterwards, I left by the gate’s [Side Door], and locked the [Side Door] from the outside.
Even though the gate used bolt locks, the side door still uses a key lock.
After locking my house this way, I started to investigate the surrounding areas with my truck.
First of all, I confirmed my position with a [Compass]. Even if it’s too late to be checking it now, the sun of this world also seemed to rise from the east and set in the west.
To the east of the town is a large river that runs from the north downwards to the south. It was the river used for the disposal of waste water from the sewer. If people were to live around here, then it would be somewhere near a river.
I stepped on the accelerator and moved on in the southeastern direction. Afterwards, while raising the dust along the river, I advanced the truck southwards. However, no matter how much I advanced, the same scenery continued on.
Since I first started driving, three hours had already passed. There was nothing but a dried up earth-desert spreading out as far as I could see. It was a scene that I could only see on TV. Not even a Shepherd’s Purse grew here. It was exactly like a land of death.
I become somewhat scared and returned back home.
The next day, I travelled to the north, and the following day, I explored the west. However, after driving for three hours in both directions, I can’t even find any shadows of humans, and the wilderness continues.
Considering that there is a river in the east, I didn’t explore beyond that.
Thus, the investigation of the surrounding regions was finished for the most part. What I can conclude so far was that there were no people living around my home base, while the eastern side remained a mystery.
Therefore, I decided to stop the search and stayed inside the house quietly for now. It was the ‘good things come to those who wait’ strategy.
I passed my days leisurely in this different world. As the temperature becomes warm, wind blows from the southwest, and sand danced around. If one says that it was a western wind, it could very well be a seasonal wind.
As the continent becomes warmer, warm air currents rise. It was a natural phenomenon related to the wind blowing from cold water spots. In other words, at the further reaches of the southwestern area, there is an ocean, or a large lake.
Nevertheless, the town was full of sand because of this wind. It might have been a rash decision to make a town without residents.
___with that, one month has passed since I’ve arrived at this different world.
Here is a piece of good news. There is a resident besides me in this town at last.
Her name is Catherine. She has round eyes with long eyelashes. She has two large swelling peaks, and she has a distinctive voice___.
[TL: oh shit did I finally TL a harem novel?]
“OUHHHHHHHHH”
The origin of this cry… That’s right. Catherine isn’t human, she’s a camel.
