11 Episode 11: The scent of starting to live in a different world.txt (1/2)

The next day, I woke up at five in the morning and put on the otherworldly clothes I'd washed and dried yesterday and packed my bag with the things I was taking with me to the other side.

First, a knife. I gave the Bowie knife to Shero-san, so all I have left is a medium or small knife on hand. I also have a kukuri knife I made as a joke back in the day, but that one is still sitting unfinished and I've left it at .......

So I decided to only have one medium-sized, nondescript sheath knife.

Next, I left one gold coin over here and the other eight in my bag.

The rest is a spirit stone, a guild card, a digital camera, a first-aid kit, chili paper, a handkerchief, a towel, a sleepover set (toothbrush and a change of underwear), emergency food, and a few items of jewelry I have.

Well, that's about it.

That's the thing about the sleepover set. Depending on how much it costs, I'm going to try to stay at the inn over there.

I had a total of more than 20 pieces of jewelry on hand, ranging from cheap ones to imitations, and some more expensive ones. I take them with me in my jewelry case.

I got this jewelry when I was working for the black company as an example. Oh, by the way, I still haven't told you what type of job I had.

It was a jewelry trading business, which was quite a wide range of activities, importing and exporting jewelry, paintings, furs, etc. I hadn't told you what kind of work I was doing yet. The main business was importing and exporting jewels, paintings and furs, selling paintings and jewels, and planning and managing various events.

I was assigned as a jewelry salesman, but I soon got fed up with the black nature of the company, with a quota of 2 million yen per month, no overtime pay, no allowance for working on holidays, long morning meetings, forcing people to drink, shouting down people, and the president's face was awful.

The content of work is also selling jewelry with the direction of a hypnotic business or selling with the direction of a home party business. ...... They are all sales methods that could be pulled off as a scam.

To top it all off, the bonuses are paid in kind.

”You can take your pick of jewelry, furs, art, or whatever you want! I seriously vowed to quit when someone said something like that to me: ...... I knew I shouldn't have joined a company that offered four bonuses a year. ......

Well, I'm sure he had a vocation as a gemologist because he was working for a company like that ....... I don't want to work at that place again ....... Rumor has it that he was busted for tax evasion a while after I left, but I wonder what happened to him .......

Regardless, it's a different world. Let's get the hell out of here!

And here it is, another world.

I'm heading to the city of Elishe now, but the distance is pretty tough. The only means of transportation that comes to mind is a horse, but I've never ridden a horse before. I'm not sure I've ever ridden a horse before. ......

It's a good idea to have a vocation as a horseman, not a swordsman or an impostor. It's not a bad idea to have a vocation. I'll have to ask the priest if there is such a thing.

While idly thinking about this, I walked carefully so as not to run into Shero-san, and arrived at Elishe.

It took us about an hour and a half to walk and run from the Mirror House. If my walking speed is roughly 6km/h, that's about 9km?　Actually, it's probably a little shorter, but whatever it is, it's more than 5km. I'd like to get some kind of transportation.

The city of Elishe was just as vibrant as it was yesterday.

I headed to the temple in a straight line. I'm going for it, Priestess!　It's the little Elf Priestess!　(Come to think of it, I never did get that name.)

◇◆◆◆◇

The priest is off today.

I jumped into the temple with a digital camera in my hand and threw out a ruthless word at me. Her haircut looks like a pumpkin).

''Well then, I'd like to see a priestess, please.

'So the priest is off today because it's the day of the thing. So you'll be back tomorrow.

Gunn. The stakes are high.

Did you say ............ or did you just call it a thing day?　That old lady said it was the day of the thing. I guess that means it's the day of the thing. Do elves have it once a month? No, wait ......, I hear that elves are not a very s*xually desirable species ......, and the reaction to that is once every six months or a year, that ...... intense! I read in one of the old novels that there's going to be a kind of mating season!　That's it!　I can't miss this flag!

...... I have an urgent matter at ....... Can't you arrange for them?

'That's what I thought. I don't think you'd know where the elves were going on the day of that thing, unless you were very close to them. And of course they're not here.

Okay!　Let's find it!　I'm the only one who can help a priestess suffering through her annual rut!　We have to collect the flag!

...... But there was no way to find it without thinking about it. It's impossible to find an almost completely stranger's elf-chan when you don't have a clue what it is. I wondered what I should do, but then it occurred to me that I could use one of the skills in the example.

Let's give it a shot for good measure!

Bring out the vocation board.

The skills in the Otherworldly Sage's place: 'Otherworldly Travel', 'World Reason', and 'Mirror of Truth'.

The Mirror of Truth will clear the quest immediately if I use it, so I was going to use this one as soon as possible anyway.

Now, by the way, how do I use this skill?　I tried clicking the board with my finger, but it just slips through without resistance.

I guess I'm going to do it the same way I did to get the vocation board out.

First, I try the other world travel. I don't know what it means. The only thing I have to remember is ”Otherworldly Travel Otherworldly Travel ......”.

...... Yes. Nothing happens.

Well, it's one after another. I'm just going to remind myself, ”The truth of the world, the truth of the world, the truth of the world: ......”.

...... Yes. Nothing will happen.

I don't know if you're sure about this. I don't know if this is a bad premise. I want an instruction manual.

Pulling myself together, I'll come up with the next one. I thought to myself, ”Mirror of truth, mirror of truth, mirror of truth, .......

As soon as I remembered, the contents of the vocation board instantly switched. As I turned the page.

On the switched tentmaking board, there was this inscription

What is this: ......

I don't even have time to bonk about such things, I start to shine.

Oh yeah, I used the Mirror of Truth, so that's why I'm clearing the quest.

Poof!

And again, the vocation board becomes a cute hand-sized fairy.

'Yo-yo-yo!　What's with that mysterious machine? It's fine for you to appraise it, but make it something I like. Hey, this is a gift. It's a little crappy this time. I can sell it. Bye. So long, good luck with your work for the world and for the spirits.

snappingly

And there's a stone in his hand again. He's still the same guy who just says what he says and leaves with a bang.

Now, let's take it in order: .......

First of all, the mirror of truth is apparently an appraisal skill. The fairies said so, and it seems that the fairies do the appraisal in the first place.

The one who appraised it this time would be the digital camera I was holding in my hand. Since the fairy seems to be appraising it, the digital camera of the other world's high-tech equipment would not have been able to appraise it.

However, this depends on the fairy's performance, but it's a very useful skill. When it comes to handling otherworldly goods, it's safe to say that this is a unique skill. I'll be using it more and more in the future. You're lucky, ...... guffaw.

The spirit stone was a clear, sharp, double-sword crystal body the size of a cobbler.

It's a quartz crystal. It's not a good idea. At the very least, it would have been nice if it were colored: ......

Hey, hey, you!　Is that your guidance?　Did you just accomplish that?

Kabotcha-san (pseudonym) suddenly gets excited and bites me. Well, it's true that if you look at it from the outside, you're kind of bonkers, but I'm sure you've completed your quest.

Oh, yes, that's right, but what is it?

What did you get?

Well, here it is.
