To drink warm soup under bright lights, in a walled house that avoids the wind.
— I only realized how wonderful something like this was until after I had been transferred to another world.
“…Tasty!!!”
Kenji is currently crying while drinking the soup.
It’s not just soup, there are also other plenty of bread and meat dishes laid out on the table, and the smell that drifts from them is no different to our old world.
“Naoto, are you not going to eat?
“Oh, right”
I look up from the soup bowl to answer.
From the bowl of soup, which radiates heat through the waves of steam coming off it, I take small spoonful’s and little by little, start to eat. The taste is that of both vegetables and meat, due to the heat making both melt and form into one. As I continue, my hunger continues to get more and more filled, and my entire body starts to feel happiness to the highest degree.
— It doesn’t seem to have poison in it.
After checking, I look at the woman who sits opposite of us on the table.
She seems around 20 years old, with a blond meek look, who is currently happily smiling and looking at us with her cheeks in her hands.
After thinking lightly, her status appeared in my head.
Frida
Adventurers Guild Member
LV 2
HP 20/20
From what I have found out, with just a little focusing, I can get the information of anyone who resides in this world. And today, I have also found out that occupations are also displayed.
Due to both Kenji and I being unemployed, they weren’t displayed, you learn more and more each day, huh.
“Truly, thank you very much Miss Frida!”
After satisfying his hunger, Kenji put his hands on the table and bowed his head.
I follow Kenji and do the same.
“You really saved us, Miss Frida. If you weren’t there, I’m not sure we would’ve gotten out of there alive.”
Seriously, I was dying there.
If you were thrown into another world at a level one state, what would you do first? It’s not like there is any manual anywhere, so for the time being, I had just decided to make my goal to stay alive.
While being nervous about whether or not I was going to meet any other transferees, I was attacked by a monster, and on the verge of death started to fight for my life…
After doing that kind of thing for a while, both Kenji and my level started to rise.
We became strong enough to defeat monsters if we worked together easily, and I started to loosen up a bit.
But even then, we almost died.
Because how are we meant to live without maps, food or shelter?
There are no signs that point to any town, no vending machines. (TL Note: no shit sherlock)
No matter how strong you are, the problems of food, clothing and housing cannot be solved. Even in our original world, even if you had a gun or missile, you wouldn’t be able to survive if you were just left out on the mountainside, right?
While I tried to hunt animals to eat meat, neither I nor Kenji knew how to cook raw meat. I ruined my stomach due to it not cooking all the way through. And it wasn’t as if I knew which wild plants were edible, either.
At that time, Frida was the one who saved us, giving us clothes and feeding our stomachs.
We were taken by carriage and carried to the Fortress City of Georn.
Not only that, but she also arranged accommodations for us, and made sure we were doing well.
Make no mistake, she is definitely the one I owe my life to.
“Thank you very much! Thank you!”
Kenji is seriously bawling right now.
“Um… you don’t have to thank me that much, I didn’t do that much anyways. I just thought that if you were left in that state you would have died, so…”
Frida seems to be in a slight panic.
But after looking at her aesthetics, I realized that she truly was a beauty.
Eyelids with slightly drooping eyes, a high nose, and glossy lips. Blonde hair, but not white, however that was not to say that she was from a yellow skinned race either.
Her skin radiated the smell of perfume.
It was as if she was taken from a medieval tv show or book, with her clothes being woven from leather and cloth.
And also, pretty large breasts.
There seems to be underwear in this different world, but it’s not categorized like in Japan. If I was to spread my hand out, and grip it, there would still be some left outside of my palm… E, no, F cup…?
…No. That’s not the reason why I came to this world.
Well, I have been living with just Kenji for a while, and since I was so desperate to live its not like I even masturbated, since when I get really busy, I tend to lose my sexual desires.
“Umm… is something wrong? You’ve been staring this way for a while…”
Oh crap, I’ve looked for too long.
Well, it was the first resident of this world that I had seen since I had come here so—
“Oh sorry!”
Why are you apologizing, Kenji?
“Its just that Frida was so beautiful that I…”
You were looking too?!
No, well, it’s to be expected, I guess.
“Well its not just because you’re beautiful, it’s just that for the first time that I had come to this world… no, it’s just that for the first time since I had come here that someone was nice to me that…”
Kenji explains in a slow manner.
Jesus, this man really is stupidly honest…
However, the good points of Kenji are also shown here. If you were to be kind to someone, especially a beautiful woman in this world where nobody is your ally, if you think about it, there really is no downside from it.
So—
“Well, Miss Frida”
I asked carefully, but also attempted to mimic Kenji’s way of talking
“Why did you help us? Are you really paying for accommodation and meal only with good intentions?”
“…Naoto?”
“Why do you have any reason? What were you trying to do by selling us a favor?” Since we’re here in the city for the first time, we can’t really pay you back or anything.”
“Oi Naoto! What are you saying to Frida?”
Looking at Kenji’s angry face, I think he really thought Frida helped us with 100% good intentions.
I don’t think so.
This is a world with demons and demon kings.
It is a fact that the security is much worse than in modern Japan. Where would there be a fool who helps people only in good faith, in such a world?
— Well, other than you, of course.
“… of course it’s in good intentions.”
Frida replied with a slightly troubled look.
“However, I will arrange some sort of payment, so that both you and I can be happy.”
The inn also had a bath.
However, while I refreshed myself with hot water for the first time in a few days, my clothes remained dirty.
This is because There is no washing machine in a fantasy world. It seems that laundry in this world uses magic, but it costs money to ask a magician who can do it.
Since I couldn’t help it, I took off my dirty clothes and decided to sleep with just a piece of underwear for today.
“Wow. We really were saved by Frida, huh.”
Kenji, who is currently sitting on the bed, is also shirtless.
However, it seems that it’s not because of leveling up that he looks much better than I am. Apparently in high school, he was the manager of the soccer club and was a keeper. While I had thought that the soccer club was just a club for flashy guys, but it seems there are people like Kenji too.
“Naoto, are you also going to go to the Adventurers Guild tomorrow? We should help out Miss Frida in any way we can.”
“I know. We also need to stop by there anyways.”
Apparently, Frida had helped us was because she wanted our strength.
This Fortress City of Georn, is apparently the city of dreams for adventurers, and because of it, there are a lack of stores inside.
Because it’s a big town, there are so many deployments that everyone becomes regular soldiers. Thanks to that, there are no shops and freeters tend to gather.
There really is a lack of manpower in every world.
“It’s not a bad thing to belong to a guild. While I am paying back Frida, I also have to study the rules of this world first.”
“I don’t want to get caught in a crime before defeating the Demon King, that’s for sure.”
Kenji laughs, but if he raises his level enough to defeat the Demon King, there will be no one who can catch him in the first place.
“It’s true about crime, but there’s a lot of information you should know about the source of money, the names of those in power, etc. It’s better to let the public authorities cooperate with you than to provoke them in this world.”
“That’s true… if I can’t get the demon’s whereabouts and how to get there, I guess it would be quite a problem.”
It seems that while Kenji is stupid, he is not a fool. He seems to be easily swallowing and understanding what I’m saying, at least.
“As expected, Naoto! You are smart, huh!”
“I’m desperate too. I also want to return to my original world safely.”
I have to keep in mind, the enemy is not only the demon king, but also other transferred people.
In order to keep away from them, there is a mountain load of information that I need to start learning, as quickly as possible.
While thinking this, I opened my status screen.
Naoto Kiritani
LV 5
HP 25/40
MP 11/11
STR 11 DEX 16 VIT 10 INT 9 AGI 12 LUC 9
No skills
The display was simple and easily displayed on one screen.
Aside from HP and MP, the words STR and VIT are familiar to me. I think it’s probably an abbreviation for “STRENGTH”, but if this number goes up, I can only roughly understand what will happen.
It seems there is still space on the status screen.
Any new skills will be written here?
When I erased my status screen, I turned to Kenji next.
Then Kenji’s status was displayed.
Kenji Kinoshita
LV 24
HP 140/178
MP 78/89
Only this is visible.
Since there is no information that STR was what I was seeing, perhaps the detailed status is only visible to the person in question?
I wonder if in this game, you are able to search out your opponents abilities somehow?
“But still, while I’m level 5, Kenji is already 24…”
“Well, there is no helping it.”
Initially we were both level 1.
Desperately fighting earthworm-like monsters I came across and gaining experience points, I became level 2.
However Kenji grew to level 8.
Next, I battled a huge rat-like monster, and I was able to win more easily than before and there I got to level 5 and Kenji to level 24.
“You listening Kenji? Don’t tell anyone about your “gift”, especially to Miss Frida.”
“I know.”
Just in case, I warn Kenji about what not to do.
This “gift” is what makes Kenji progress at such an extreme speed.
They seem to be weapons given to us who were transferred to another world.
I guess it’s the same feeling that while it’s fun to watch professional fighters fight with their trained bodies, it’s boring to see amateurs hitting each other on their hips. So by giving them weapons and jumpstarting their playthrough, they are encouraging us to become more violent.
That’s probably what this “gift” is.
A special ability given to live in this world.
Kenji’s gift is that of “growth”.
As the name suggests, you can literally get experience values ​​at orders of magnitude faster.
An ability that is simple, but that is why it is strong.
I don’t know if there is an upper limit to the level, but if you raise the level to where you can deal mass damage with only a quick attack, the demon king should be able to be defeated. Well, I don’t know how much that is, though.
A gift that will surely become the strongest if you spend a lot of time. That is Kenji’s strength.
But that’s why it’s dangerous.
If another transferrer notices Kenji’s gift, it is easy to know what to do.
I’m sure that they would use any means necessary to seal Kenji, while there is the possibility of death, there is equal chance of his being taken advantage of and abused.
Even more so, as this guy is as simple as they come.
“Its okay, I already know Naoto. I won’t ask what your gift is either.”
Kenji nods with serious eyes.
“I’m not good at lying, so I’m sure someone asked, “What is Naoto’s gift! ? I feel like I would be likely to answer. Then Naoto will be in trouble, right?”
— He really is stupid.
I wonder if anyone is able to survive in this world with such honesty.
“No, I’ll tell you.”
On the contrary, I felt that it was dangerous if I did not say what is was.
In order to leave my back to this guy and fight, I also have to expose my secrets to a point, too.
“My gift is…”
