1 Episode 1 "Im hated by the king in a different world and I like ghosts".txt (2/2)

I could see the future.

Well, I'd rather find a way to survive in town. The more options, the better.

I've got 400 arsha. For now, we can survive for 20 days.

Until then, we'll find a way to make a living somehow.

Let's just think of our former world as ...... ”lucky to get back”.

I'm not that attached to it.

Our goal from now on is to survive.

To have 'normal happiness' if possible.

And the ultimate goal is to be able to live without working, so to speak.

I don't think it's any different than it was when I lived in the original ...... world.

I don't know what to do: ......

”You've shown some interesting skills. Why don't we partner up?

I heard a voice.

In my mind.

Who's that... and I'm not going to answer that question.

This is a different world. It's possible that there is someone who has the skill to talk to you inside your head.

Because it's still before noon, the square is full of people.

There are a lot of shops. Shops selling fruit. Shops selling what looks like the famous (self-proclaimed) meat-wrapped bread. Shops selling medicinal herbs and medicinal wounds. And besides the stalls, there are shops selling weapons, armor, and something with a crystal ball the size of a person's fist. The store with the signboard of a collar and key - what is it?

Anyway, there are too many people. I don't know where they are talking to each other.

That means we can't even think about who is talking to us.

I'm going to focus on 'what' they are trying to say.

”...... teaming up?　I don't know what that means.

”All we can offer is information. You're ”visitors,” right?

Visitors?

'I'm talking about people from another world. I know such things have been summoned.

In case you're wondering: ...... Who are you?

'There's no substance. Residual thoughts of the past. A ghost, so to speak.

I'm not afraid of ghosts or ...... ghosts in a world of swords and sorcery at all if they're called ghosts.

Let's listen to the story some more.

”What can this ghost tell me about myself?

”The rules of this world and how you can use your skills.

How does a ghost know how to use his skills?

'I've lived ...... long enough, no, I've lived long enough. Sometimes visitors have skills like yours that turn the rules of the world upside down. 'You're the Chosen One, aren't you?'

That doesn't change what you say about the king.

I won't be asking you to fight the Dark Lord. I'll be gone soon. It's a residual thought that can't affect the world, so I can get a glimpse of other people's skills.''

Ghost said after a short pause.

'Let's 'contract' (contract). I will teach you how to use your skills. I want you to use those skills to help a girl.'

'Contract'?

”This world is all about contracts. See the shop at the end of the square that sells crystal balls.

I did as I was told and looked in that direction.

In the front of the store, two men were exchanging ideas.

One of them is a leather bag - it looks heavy and heavy. He hands over the leather bag - which probably contains gold coins - to the shopkeeper and receives a crystal ball in its place. The customer presses it to his chest.

The crystal ball is sucked into the customer's chest with a swoosh.

The man ran away at a much faster pace than before.

''That's a shop that sells 'skills'.'''

”Skills?　You can't buy and sell your skills?

”With your consent, yes. ”If he agrees, we can get information about his skills by taking them out of his system. You take them out, you get to see what kind of skills they are. You can sell them for money. See next door.

I see a sign with a collar and key symbol on it?

It's a place to sell slaves.

The...?

!”? You're selling people?

...... I'm glad I escaped the king.

”What?

I felt like I could see a trend of ”fight, get thrown out when you can't use it, sell your skills to get money, and finally go into slavery ....... That's the kind of thing you normally do. In this world.

Yeah. I'm sure. I guess that's what happens.'

Ghost began to talk about the rules of the 'contract'.

A 'contract' is an oath that both parties agree to keep their promises.

It could be an exchange of goods or a sale of goods.

I'll give you information so you can do these things, sometimes.

There is a god of contracts in this world, and they are binding on those who have ”made a deal” with each other.

They say that if you don't fulfill your promise, you get a headache and can't sleep.

...... means that the king said, ”If you defeat the demon king, you will 'make a contract' to return to the original world.” ...... Conversely, once you have made a 'contract' but at the end ”unless you defeat the demon king, even if you find the means Isn't that what you're saying, ”Even if we do, we can't go back to our world”?

I'm scared!　I knew it was all black!

The others are ...... Well, they've been unreasonably summoned to begin with, and some of them have questions.

Let's hope they manage to get around the 'contract' .......

I regained my composure and looked at the slaver's shop.

It's a brick walled building with bars latched to the windows. I don't know what's inside.

The girl who wants me to save her is in that shop?

”Yes,

What's she like?

”You are the most beautiful girl in the shop.

What do you mean by that?

'A short girl with brown skin. She is the last survivor of the demon race that was destroyed by humans. She is the last survivor of the demon race that was destroyed by humans.

The voice said.

'I am the residual thought of all the demon race. As a collective, my name is Ashtarte.

It will disappear when we see that child become the rightful Lord's.

Will you take our daughter? 'The Visitor.'
