Volume 1, Chapter 2 – The magic eye exposes a harem dream

I take dinner in the dining room on the first floor. The daily special set meal including alcohol is 8 Gold. The set meal was a unknown meat steak, soup with plenty of vegetables and bread. The alcohol was wine. The old couple were busy, so I couldn’t ask what the meat was, but it was quite substantial and delicious. What was said about being cheap and delicious was true.

I return to my room and opening the Menu a 【Quest】 entry was blinking.

【Let’s write a report log!】

Write a journal about what happened and what you thought on that day. If you write on the dedicated notebook it’ll be automatically reported to G.o.d. Skill Points reward 10P.

Do you accept the Quest? YES/NO

I selected YES immediately and the notebook and writing implements appeared in the Items field. I took them out and within 10 minutes wrote what happened today and what I learned related to Skills. Partly to practice I tried writing in the local language, but it was practically no different than in j.a.panese. Once I finished writing and put it all away in Items the Quest display changed and the Skills Points increased by 10.

【Let’s write a report log!】 Cleared!

If possible write a log daily (recommended) G.o.d will take a look over the journal. If there’s a request and the like, something good might happen if you write about it!

For a job with a monthly salary of 250,000 this is pretty good. The initial supply of Skill Points was helpful. Now, what should I pick?

Skill Points 11P

Life Magic, Clock

I was thinking of choosing Fencing, but the aforementioned MP is there and I’m in another world after all, I want to try magic. Taking a look at magic: Fire, Water, Earth, Wind, Healing Magic, etc. were 5 Points; s.p.a.ce, Spirit, Summoning, Dark, Light Magic, etc. were 10 points. The 10 Points magic were something I was attracted to, but the straightforward 5 Points Magic it is. Fire, Water, Earth and Wind, which one group should I try choosing? It looked like Fire Magic has offensive ability, so I promptly selected it. A total of 10 Points were consumed to raise it to level 3. [TL Note: 5P to acquire + 2P for lv. 2 + 3P for Lv. 3 = 10P total]

[Fire Magic Level 3]

① Fire Arrow ② Fire Ball, Fire Lance ③ Fire Wall, Minor Explosion

I verify the acquired magic. As expected it seems I won’t be able to test it inside the room. Given that it became dark, I slip into the bed. Since there there’s nothing to illuminate the room and I’m tire I quickly fell asleep.

The next day I head to the Guild after eating breakfast. There were more strong rough guys gathered around the Adventurer’s Guild than yesterday. As much as possible I entered evading eye contact. Here, I’m a tiny bean sprout weighting 50kg and 160cm tall. [TL Note: 110 pounds and 5ft 3 in. for the metric challenged.]

If I get into a quarrel, it’s certain I’ll be knocked in a single punch. Moreover, the swords, spears and equipment are really scary. I’ll die if I offend someone.

Inside there were quite a lot of people, but fortunately they seemed busy and almost n.o.body was paying attention to me. Anyhow, I managed to reach the reception counter and called a plain looking middle-aged man. There were other free receptionists, but all the tough dudes were with the females, so I talked to the quietest one.

When I told I wanted to become an adventurer it didn’t I’d be made fun of and was treated in a polite manner. Yeah, I was right to choose this middle-age man. There’s an interview so I was guided inside. I remembered that I was sent here immediately following Itous.h.i.+n’s interview yesterday. Did his face just poke out in my mind?

“The Adventurer’s Guild can issue Identification Papers, but there’s a simple examination to verify if you’re legitimately who you say. What? As long as you aren’t a criminal there’s nothing to worry. Well then, please wait here for a little while.”

Saying that to calm me, the middle-aged man returned to the reception. Before long a bald middle-aged dude with a brutal face, accompanied by a cute girl around middle-school age turned up.

“Welcome to the Adventurer’s Guild, youngster. Your name?”

The baldy asked in a loud voice. Coming in front of me, he was huge and had an overwhelmingly intimidating aura.

“M-Masaru. I’m Yamano Masaru.”

“3rd Rank Truth Official?”

Some unknown term came out.

“Umm? You don’t know abut Truth Officials? What countryside did you come from?”

“Uhum, it’s somewhere I haven’t heard of. Well, it’s ok.”

That’s ok?!

“A Truth Official is someone who has the Magic Eye that can see through lies. Now we’ll ask you some question so answer truthfully, lad.”

“I can’t read your mind. I only know whether you’re telling the truth or not.”
