Life Without Many Worries
The warmth of the day feels like a lie. A cold, dry wind blows through. It’s not good near the ground. Especially bright places. I will dry out in no time if I’m not careful. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
Though I don’t need a lot of water. I also have no shortage of food to eat. Long antennae sway above my head. Over there. Something smells delicious......over there. I put strength in my hind legs and jump up.
I felt around my surroundings once I landed. To begin with, there is barely any light shining in this place at this time. And I can’t see that well with my eyes in the first place, but it doesn’t bother me. The two sensitive tips touch something. This is.....seems like the same type of creature as ‘me’. Seems delicious.
I check the general location and bring my face closer. Its body size is not that much different from mine. Quite a tough one to eat. And yet, the body is left unexpectedly clean. Well, whatever.
I clamp from both sides with my jaw. I insert my jaws into the gap between the body segments and split it. It cracked with a *pakii*. I’m thrilled. It was stuffed with deliciously tender meat inside. I stick my head in and devour it.
Huh? No matter how deep I stick my head in, I don’t feel suffocated?
I am still breathing. There’s no nose.....what is a ‘nose’? Smell? I am feeling things. There is something delicious at my sharp and sensitive tips......huh, it’s strange? Seems like I’m about to remember something.
……delicious.
But, it’s impossible to eat it all. Also, ants will come from somewhere. It’s dangerous to eat any further than this.
Now then, I’ve taken a breather so where shall I go next?
A dazzling light comes in from a distance. I don’t like that. I am losing energy.
I am starting to feel sleepy. Let’s stay in that place, that damp and cool place.
It’s becoming a bit more comfortable.
I’m hungry, but there are no delicious things nearby.
The grass in front of me has little moisture, and it’s dry. But, it’s not that it can’t be eaten. It’s just bad in its own way.
I try jumping with my hind legs. I soar up high to an incredible height in an instant. Then I started to fall. It feels like an instant and yet....it’s like I’ve been floating for a really long time.....and then I fall. It’s amazing I don’t get injured after falling from such a height.
Huh?
Oh well, forget it.
It’s fun to jump around.
If there is food, then it’ll be much better.
My stomach feels heavy. I feel like something is packed tightly inside.
I try bending my stomach into a く character. I see a long, narrow tube in front of me. I twist my body to pull my hind legs - the one further back - closer. I touch it with my mouth, touch it with my sense of touch. It made me want to lick it all over. I have to take good care of it because of something that comes out of here.
No matter how much time passes, it never gets brighter. It got darker, but don’t get any brighter.
I can feel intermittent shock coming from the direction of the two antennae. Looking at the bright place, drops of water sometimes fall to the ground.
Small winged insects are happily flying about. That must feel nice. I understand how it feels. But, I wonder if I’m not smart enough? Something large ran past and splashed the muddy water. That’s it. Once their whole body gets covered in water, they will no longer be able to move.
……insects breathe using the respiratory tract on their sides, so if they get soaked, they won’t be able to breathe, or was that how it goes..... www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
Eh?
Rather than that, that small fly looks delicious.
It’s a little small, but I think I’m going to be able to eat them without hassle.
I don’t like bright places, but there is nothing around me now.
My stomach hurts.
Something is approaching.
I don’t want to move that much.
A place surrounded by trees and dry leaves. This place is nice.
Something is coming out of the tip of my body. I can’t help but feel fond of it.
I remained still for a long time, spending my time in darkness.
I can’t remember how many bright times or comfortable dark times I’ve had until now.
It is now my favorite dark time.
My sensitive antennae are searching for something. There was something moving. Could it be food?
It’s not.
It’s ‘that’.
I put strength in my hind legs. Then I jump.
Not good.
Something caught me.
Long.....limb?
Its body size is not that big, but in any case, it has long limbs. And there are many of them. One, two, three....no I can’t count.
Its many limbs knock me over while moving at dizzying speed. What’s this? It’s giving me goosebumps. What’s this!
....!
I feel a sharp pain.
I can’t put any strength into my body.
Aah, is this.....『death』?
I want to scream.
But, I can’t make out any voice.
No, rather than make any sound, I have no part to let out a voice.
Huh?
What is ‘voice’? www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
I can feel the shell on my back being broken. Body fluids leaking from there.
It’s over for me.
Eh?
Something’s, been on my mind.....
Something really important, what is it.....
『Return to my original body once I’m about to die』
Original body?
What is that?
Return?
I know I’m about to die.
Return?
You have to return!
「Ah.....!?」
I feel dizzy.
What is this?
I move my limbs…..it feels strange. The thing that should have been there is missing.
My skin felt cold, and something was pressing against my back.
「Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhh!」
And yet, the fear that had filled my chest until a while ago came out as a voice.
Voice?
I could hear a gatan sound from a distance.
What should I do, what, what would happen to me now?
I want to run away, but even if I want to, my body can’t move that well.
Finally, I managed to roll over from lying on my back to lying on my stomach. And I ended up seeing it.
「Hyaaaaaaa!」
In that place, is the thing I’m afraid of.....the monster with long legs.....?
Eh? www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
It’s a small huntsman spider , but it was squashed.
But, that looks extremely frightening. My scream won’t stop.
The wooden door was roughly opened behind me. It hits the wall and bounces back. A large black shadow nearby stomps its foot restlessly.
「......! .....!」
It’s something, a creature with a strange shape, but it’s looking at me and making some kind of noise. It’s coming closer. I quickly try to protect myself, but there’s nothing I can do.
It grabbed my shoulder. I couldn’t help but scream.
『Stop! Let me go!』
「...! .....!」
『Don’t touch me! Don’t kill me! Stop! Don’t eat me!』
What is this?
Aren’t you going to eat me?
……eat?
Eat me?
Why?
「Noor! What’s wrong, answer me! Noor!」
Who is it, this person?
Person? www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
It wasn’t just one person who came rushing in. Looking closely, it seems like I’ve seen them before somehow.....it feels like I encountered them a long time ago.
A dignified middle-aged man came from behind the frog-faced man, holding me. He lifted me up instead.
「Noor.....Noor! Get a grip! What’s wrong? Did something happen?」
Who is this, ‘Noor’?
Who?
What is ‘who’?
「Noor」
The man called out to me in a low, muffled voice, as if suppressing his overwhelming emotion.
……me?
「Noor.....!」
Why is everyone making such a fuss?
Strange, what have I been doing until now?
「Wake up.....Fals!」
I was startled.
That’s right, I.....
「……my, luーc?」
「Right, it’s Myluc」
That's right. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
I am Noor, Myluc’s slave….
The moment I tried to gather my thoughts, a flood of memories suddenly came rushing to my mind.
Stuffing my mouth with the dead camel cricket deep in the dark stable. Thinking about that now, it was probably caught and killed by the huntsman spider that lived in the same hut. And because it could eat it, it found another prey and abandoned.
I also ate some hay. It was fragrant and delicious.....delicious?
A wet, struggling, small fly. I went closer and ate that too.
Did I, lay eggs among the hay in the stable? That’s right, that’s.....
The last thing I saw, was the huntsman spider trying to eat me....
「Uuh…..ah.....」
A feeling of nausea wells up inside me.
The world suddenly feels so far away.
「O, oi, pull yourself together! Come on.....」
Even the angry shouts from the adults around me, began to feel distant. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
