Chapter 16 (1/2)

As you could expect from how long it took me to get this out, I haven’t really made any progress in Bu ni mi.

As for the chapter itself, as you can guess from the title, there will be one of those forum interactions that appear in some series.

I’m quite honestly not used to talking in this way so translating it was a bit awkward but I think I got the point across.

As for the part that’s marked with a (*1). It’s basically the person asking if the previous person was referencing the Japanese version of the…FBI meme that goes around.

Think that’s all, enjoy the chapter, I’ll try to release the next one faster.

「TB」 Thread to talk about the NPCs 「Mysterious AI」

This is a thread to talk about the mysterious NPCs in TrailBlazer that are equipped with super efficient AI.

Let’s talk about the NPCs we are a fan of, interesting characters and peculiar actions.

The next thread will be made once we have more than 950 comments.

267：Nameless heavy warrior　ID：VmUs2Ae

I was banned from entering the weapon shop, but once I apologized, the old man forgave me…so compassionate.

268：Nameless archer　ID：ANE4Yzd

What did you do? lol

269：Nameless heavy warrior　ID：VmUs2Ae

I think I talked about this in the previous thread. He told me that the way I was using my weapon was sloppy and when I told him that he was acting too high and mighty, he sent me flying around 5 meters.

270：Nameless mage　ID：59Xg3t2

lol so lame, rather, lmao that old man is so strong.

271：Nameless heavy warrior　ID：VmUs2Ae

I didn’t know that it was something I shouldn’t say to the NPC and by the time I knew, it was too late…

272：Nameless mage　ID：S2jTxA5

Even if they are NPCs, you shouldn’t say rude things.

273：Nameless heavy warrior　ID：VmUs2Ae

I know, but something happened in real life and I was pissed at the time. Forgive me, old man from the weapon shop.

274：Nameless light warrior　ID：dsUdfnJ

Why is everyone calling him the old man from the weapon shop!?

He has a name and it is Devin!

275：Nameless knight　ID：5FUZbn4

I won’t remember the name of some old man lol

276：Nameless archer　ID：ANE4Yzd

What does Devin even mean? Is it English?

277：Nameless light warrior　ID：dsUdfnJ

It comes from an English poet!

With that kind of face, at night he writes poems in his notebook…

278：Nameless archer　ID：ANE4Yzd

LMAO stop that. You are going to make me imagine it lol

279：Nameless knight　ID：5FUZbn4

LMAO

「Oh? Wacchi, what are you doing while not eating your bento? Where is Miyucchi?」(Shuuhei)

My classmate, Tsukane Shuuhei, talked to me while I was sitting down on a bench in the courtyard playing with my phone.

He probably came back after buying what he wanted since he was holding some bread on one hand.

「Seems like the stuff she had to do with the student council is taking a while, so she’s waiting. Besides, don’t call me Wacchi. I’m not an artisan, a harlot or a citizen from Gifu. Don’t use that kind of pronoun」 (Wataru)

「More importantly, give me a side dish to accompany this」 (Shuuhei)

「Ah? Where is your bento, Shuuhei?」 (Wataru)

Now that I think about it, this guy usually brings a bento.

He usually has a bento unless his mom is busy.

「I stayed up playing a game all night and my mom got mad. She threw a 100 yen coin at me and told me to go to school!」 (Shuuhei)

「…And that’s why you slept through the lessons, huh? You are so stupid. Here, is some fried chicken enough?」 (Wataru)

「Thanks! …Ah, this is a hundred times tastier than what my mom makes…」 (Shuuhei)

「Be more grateful to your mom. You are going to receive divine punishment」 (Wataru)

Looking at the date of the posts, there’s more…

After giving a side glance at Shuuhei who sat down next to me, I kept scrolling through the thread.

503：Nameless martial artist　ID：Zy7YRd9

It has to be Claris-san. Orthodox pretty big sister types are the best!

504：Nameless archer　ID：WS64sHL

Claris-san is so kind. A while back, she gave me a 40% discount on holy water.

505：Nameless shinto priest　ID：fmGTyMw

Ah, if you buy something a lot of times, it seems that she’ll make 1 item cheaper for you.

506：Nameless martial artist　ID：Zy7YRd9

Seriously!?

507：Nameless mage　ID：SsBfxwH

Seems like there’s some sort of likability, though it’s not known what is required to raise it.

508：Nameless shinto priest　ID：fmGTyMw

Ah, about that, there was an idiot that tried to spend all his money in the second hand shop but her attitude didn’t change much. There’s a limit to the number of items you can buy from it.

509：Nameless archer　ID：WS64sHL

I heard about someone who got a blacksmithing set from the old man from the weapon shop.

510：Nameless martial artist　ID：Zy7YRd9

Eh…

I don’t really get it but…Claris-san is the best!

511：Nameless archer　ID：WS64sHL

LMAO

How much do you like Claris-san? lol

512：Nameless knight　ID：mM4TWdF

No no, I rather bring home the mayor’s daughter, Monica-chan.

513：Nameless martial artist　ID：Zy7YRd9

What are you, a lolicon?

514：Nameless shinto priest　ID：fmGTyMw

Police officer, over here!

515：Nameless knight　ID：mM4TWdF

Molester? *1

516：Nameless light warrior　ID：XraUJMM

※This was just a template for the thread

「Hey, Wacchi. What have you been looking at?」 (Shuuhei)

「TB’s BBS」 (Wataru)

「Hah? Wacchi, didn’t you say you wouldn’t play games?」 (Shuehei)

「Yeah, I can guess that the game you spent all night playing was also…」 (Wataru)

「There’s no need to hide it, it was TB! Are you surprised!?」 (Shuuhei)

「Fuun」 (Wataru)

Claris-san sure is being liked.

The old man from the weapon shop is too, judging from the replies, there’s plenty of other NPCs that people took a liking to.

If they found out that we were the ones that took her outside, wouldn’t that be bad?
