Chapter 9: Things to conside
I really want to sleep now, but I guess I should first get a better understanding of my current circ.u.mstances.
While lazing about on the bed, I’ll consider the cla.s.sic tropes of other-world adventures.
1. Are there people?
2. Can you understand the language?
3. Can you read the language?
4. Are black-haired, black-eyed people persecuted?
5. Are there monsters?
6. If you were summoned, then for what purpose?
7. The country or town’s name, currency, and other everyday knowledge necessary for living a normal life
8. How to return to j.a.pan
#1 is obvious.
I haven’t actually met anyone yet, but there’s roads, carts, and houses.
There aren’t any cars, only carts, and based on the inside of this house it feels kind of like medieval Europe.
2, 3, and 4 are still unknown. 7 and 8 are things to think about later.
5. Monsters exist. I’m really lucky I didn’t meet a final boss monster before getting used to battle.
Around here there’s only been weak monsters, but maybe there’ll be stronger ones in the future.
Quickly getting used to battle.
Quickly getting used to killing things.
Before long I’ll have gained a lot of experience in these things.
As for #6. Summoning. That’s probably the most important thing.
The [Arm] that dragged me into the black fog.
Since that seems to be the culprit of my other-world trip, someone must have summoned me, right?
So, why was I left alone by the road?
1. They looked at me and decided was useless, or they got the wrong person and threw me away.
2. Something got messed up in the summoning, and accident or a mistake, and I ended up in the wrong place.
If they threw me out then there’s no problem. It’s better than being killed, so thanks.
I’ll keep on living on my own, so just forget about me please.
The problem is if they made a mistake or there was an accident.
Normally the reasons for being summoned are like “Kill the Demon King”, “Marry the King”, “Sacrifice”, “Miko”, all kinds of things like that. (TN: miko = shrine maiden)
