Versatile: Alternate World

The elf is confused for the first time seeing a metal spoon after I served the food. It is understandable though as I can already imagine them using wooden spoons to eat their food. She obviously hasn't seen a spoon made of metal as she should be living deep in the forest as all elves usually do. Judging from her looks alone, she hasn't been living in a human town or city as she doesn't look like she has been there for once. So seeing a metal spoon for the first time is something she hasn't experienced as shown in her reaction and how much she was talking in elven language with a tone of excitement and curiosity on her tone.

At first, the elf is trying out the food and looks cautious about it as she stirs the soup using the spoon. The moment she saw us eat the same soup, she started to scoop one spoon out and started to try it with her mouth. The moment the soup touches her mouth, her eyes went wide and she started slurping on it, which made Rika and me smile as she drink and eat the soup.

She sighed in relief the moment she finishes the soup and rubs her tummy as she finished eating her food.

"So what are we gonna do? We can't understand her and she also cannot understand us," Rika scratches her head.

"Yeah, this is a pickle. As much as we can just use a translator on our phone to translate another language into our language, there is no possible way for us to translate an elven language which is a big problem."

"Do you have a plan on how to deal with this dilemma we had right now?"

"At the moment, I don't have any way to know it. Even if we had a way to read her mind, we still can't understand her language, that will be a very bad thing still."

"Then how can we interact with her? If both of us can't understand things and we don't have any universal language that we can use to interact with each other, then we will have very bad ways to communicate with each other."

The elf tilted her head as she listened to the both of us rambling with each other. Then she suddenly held her hands together and suddenly used a skill that made me and Rika stand up as we raise our guards up, trying to defend ourselves from what shenanigans the elf is trying to do. However, she didn't do anything alarming, instead, she seemed to have done something as we saw something forming up above the air in front of her.

"Manato, what is going on? What is she doing?"

I observed what she was doing then I realized what she is trying to do is the same thing a Spiritualist, class, a future class that will be released in the future alongside the Reaper class, is trying to do. What she was doing is to summon a spirit or a fey in the surroundings and materializing it.

Soon enough, the materializing process ended and a fey appeared before us. The fey she summoned is a pixie. For the first time in my life, this is the first time I have seen a pixie appear before me in the real world without the help of any technology like VR or a projector. It was happening before me, right before my own naked eye.

The pixie blinked for a few seconds until she realized that she was now visible and she was shocked when that happened. Even Rika and I were not sure what to do about what is happening before us.

"A pixie? Manato, can you pinch me? Perhaps I am seeing things," Rika ordered me while still staring at the pixie.

"Hey, you are not alone here. I am also seeing what you are seeing."

The elf started to talk and clasped her hands like she was pleading through the pixie. She talks in the elven language that she uses but it seems the pixie she was talking with can also understand her.

As we are observing what she was doing, the pixie turned to us and started to speak.

"Hello humans, I am going to be translating the words of this girl here as she pleaded for me to help her. I can understand both languages you two are saying so feel free to talk and ask questions using me as the translator and I will do my best to convey what she was saying to you two."

"A pixie can talk Japanese?!" Rika was shocked.

"Hey, I can understand you guys just fine. I lived in Japan all my life, I don't think I will not learn it by just staying here."

"Then how come you seemed to understand her? It seems like her language is the elven language," Rika is trying to clarify things.

"As you can see, she is not speaking the elven language. She is speaking the Fey language which is why I can understand her just fine as I also speak the fey language, therefore, I am the perfect candidate to be the translator for both of you so that the three of you can understand each other."

I didn't expect this elf is capable of summoning a fey and plead her to become our translator. That needs a lot of spiritual mastery to be capable of doing that and even I don't have any idea how difficult that was for a spiritualist.

The elf started to talk and the pixie started listening to what she was saying. It took a while before she nodded and the elf stopped speaking.

"So, what did she say?"

"Okay, she is asking where she is currently and why are there humans before her.  She was also asking why her equipment is gone."

"Then I will be answering that as I am the only one who knows what happened. First, on your first question, she is currently on Earth, and second, it is because we are the ones who rescued her from the dumpster. As for her third question, I would also like to ask that question too. Where does her equipment has gone into? I found her fully naked and I had to carry her with my clothes to cover her body back home."

The pixie nodded and immediately relayed what she heard from us. The moment the pixie relayed the information, she was confused and she looked at us before she started to speak again in which the pixie waited to hear the rest before she started to speak to us.

"She said she was sure that she wore clothes and she also had some weapons with her before she passes out and woke up in this strange place you call Earth."

I scratch my head. I now understand where her clothes might have gone but I can't say that to her as I have no basis on it as that stuff only happens in the anime, light novels and manga, and any type of media that does isekai genres. To anyone who still doesn't know, the moment she was about to be transferred to Earth, all of the items that were on her body, whether it was cloth or metal, disappears as she passes through a whole new dimension just like a meteorite burns in the atmosphere as it enters Earth.

And the moment she crash-landed, all of her clothes and equipment are gone, explaining why her previous equipment is all gone as it all has gone down to the ashes.

"Tell her that I don't know what happened to her equipment as the time I saw her, she was bare naked and she didn't wear anything at all so even if she insisted on the idea that she wore something before she awakened here."

The pixie sighed and relayed what I said and as expected, she was confused as to why her clothes and items are gone. It seems she is not angry with me, seeing her naked so let's just forget about that.

"Hey pixie, can you ask her about her name as we cannot just keep on saying hey on her and she can't understand us so she will not be able to understand what we are saying either."

"Oh, she called herself Renata earlier when we are talking with each other the first time we met each other and I materialized. That's how I learned about her name."

Just thinking about this situation made me shake my head. I can smell big trouble here. And I am not going to lie, it seems like we are not just going to have a big problem here based on our exchanges. We will be having big, big trouble later on. Perhaps, something would definitely be triggered to the point something else will happen due to this happening around us. And I don't think I am going to be ready for this.
