Chapter 3: And at the Park….. (1/2)

「Do you want to increase in level? 」 (Hera says the shortened word Reberage “Level Increase”)

「Did you say Level Increase? 」

「That’s right. Ah, could it be you didn’t understand that? “Level Increase” is also known as Leveling Up, or more simply put, it’s when you accumulate enough Experience Points by doing various things in the field in order to Level—」

「That explanation is way too complicated and even harder to understand. Not that I don’t like it but」

He put one hand forward and used it to rub his temple. (Temple as in forehead temple) As of this moment, he really doesn’t know how to react to the situation which just occurred in front of him.

For the time being, let me try pinching my cheeks.

「It hurts」

「What’s the matter? Taiyou-chan is still level 1, so even if you pinch your cheeks you won’t get any experience you know? 〜」

「I know that doing this sort of thing won’t increase my experience points………the better question is, you, what are you exactly? 」

「Me? I am the Level Fairy, My name is Hera. ah, just letting you know I’m the Level Fairy, not the Level Deity, therefore, don’t get any weird ideas about doing any ecchi pranks on me kay〜?」

「Sorry, I am below 18 years of age, so I don’t really understand that kind of material」

Taiyou had very distant eyes. Contrary to his words, his mind was still filled with the trauma of not being able to raise his female swordsman’s to the max level.

「Is that really so? However, I am really happy that you aren’t going to play any mean tricks on —– muah! 」(muah = “me” said in a really cutesy way)

Taiyou grabbed Hera and began to touch all over her body.

「What are you doing?! Didn’t you just promise me you wouldn’t do anything ecchi? 」

「Ahh, I had to make sure that you were real. I thought your body may not have any substance」

「You can touch me ya know, At least Taiyou-chan can」

「Only me? 」

「Yes. Only Taiyou-chan can touch me. Other people cannot see me let alone touch me. Because I am an exclusive being in charge of Taiyou-chan」

「Is that the case? 」

「It’s true〜. At any rate Taiyou-chan is really composed, this is the first time since I was born that someone was not surprised by seeing me」

「……… Is this, perhaps, one of those punch line jokes, where because this is the first job you had since you were born, you are trying to show redeeming qualities of an experienced worker」

「Biku! 」 (Sound effects of Hera shuddering)

Hera’s body trembled exaggeratedly.

「I hit it right on the mark, didn’t I? Well, I guess this kind of thing happens way too often doesn’t it 」

「Taiyou-chan…..You are way to composed」

「I’ve been told that a lot, when I am angry or when I surprised people tell me that I am so calm that it’s disgusting」

「Is that so? 」

「……To put this together, you are some sort of a Fairy, and I have achieved some sort of qualifications, and you are my supervisor which can allow me to gain some level ups, is that a good overview? 」

「That was a lot you had to say….. But that is correct, you understood so quickly this saves me a lot of time〜」

「If you were a god, you would probably be able to explain this a lot faster. Well, you are somewhat of a similar race so let’s leave it at that」

Taiyou, had a distant look on his face again but for a completely different reason. He had a look on his face that said, I can’t believe this is happening to me.

「Nevertheless, why did you choose me? 」

「Umm, it’s because of this」

Hera buoyantly/floating over the table and flew towards the wooden book shelf. And she began to softly touch the cleared game data and game software which was on the shelf.

「It’s because Taiyou-chan has love/affection〜」

「love? 」

「Yes, the love of raising a level. That’s why I chose you Taiyou-chan〜」

「That’s all there is to it? 」

「A person who can continue to carry things out to the extremes, is rare in this world. A person like Taiyou-chan who would complete every single game they played until the max level is like one person in 100 million. In Japan, you are the only one」

「……weirdly enough, that doesn’t make me too happy. Well, at least I know the reason now」

Taiyou let out a light sigh.

「So, what do I have to do in order to gain experience points? Do I have to encounter some Yakuza/hoodlums in the vicinity and fight against them? Just letting you know but I am really weak, I won’t be able to defeat a goblin let alone a slime」

「It’s alright〜, gaining experience points is nothing difficult like what you mentioned, in the beginning anyone can do it〜……… It’s more like doing a repetitive chore/task」

「I am completely used to doing something boring in order to level up, I don’t care about that at all. So, what is the task exactly? 」

「Yes〜….. ah, something came up just in time〜. Its this〜」 (Note: Hera talks in a cutesy manner so I am adding ~ whenever she ends with なのです)

Saying those things, Hera pointed towards a box under the shelf as if it was her most prized possession. The box was about as big as her, Taiyou grabbed it and took a long hard look at it.

「……..Jenga?」(note: Jenga is a game where players take turns in removing blocks from a tower in order to balance it on top)

「That’s right, First off take it out from the box and please arrange/pile it on the table」

「Like this? 」

「Now then, please destroy/demolish it in one go」

「……..Like this? 」

「Once the blocks have all fallen, now please proceed to piling it up again」

「………………..Oi, don’t tell me? 」
