Arafoo Otoko no Isekai Tsuuhan Seikatsu

While barbecuing meat in the woods, I was attacked by a black, big wolf-like creature - driven by fear, I kept rowing my mountain bike to get out of the woods early and finally got to the edge of the forest.

I fell asleep because I was relieved of the tension.

--I woke up.

I regretted falling asleep a little, but fortunately the days are still high. Were you asleep for about three hours?

If we don't move from here to the right and aim for the road... But I wonder how this world treats people from other worlds.

Maybe you got caught all of a sudden and you're a slave? That's possible... but there's nothing we can do about it.

In the meantime, let's take a look at Shangri-La's screen and see what's left of it while we grind the bread.

"Seventy-six thousand yen... have you spent half of it already?"

Oh no. I already have about half the money I charged. I still have to make money somehow - while spending it.

I'm tired so I want to eat sweets. Find chocolate in Shangri-La - we sell cracked chocolate for 2,000 yen per kg.

It may be good to sell this chocolate or confectionery, but it might be bad to sell something that's not in this world...

I twisted my head while eating chocolate. The sweet chocolate flavor will cheer me up - sugar is the best when I'm tired.

Uh-huh. Let's try the classic pepper here. Above all, it seems to be the easiest. It may be a knife or a blade, but I feel that the conversion rate of pepper is the highest.

For Shangri-La, the refill is sold for 100 g for 400 yen, and if this turns into gold or silver, you'll make a lot of money.

However, I still feel awkward (first of all) about nylon packaging bags and glass bottles. A world without glass could cause trouble.

Where did you get this? I wonder. I'm sorry about getting caught and torturing you.

Find the container in Shangri-La.

"Do you have a leather drawstring bag? Oh, there is."

It is 3,000 yen per piece. Far higher than pepper. Buy a drawstring bag and put the refill pepper in it.

Put it on your waist belt-- oh! Looks like RPG gear! I've seen this in a game before.

If this doesn't work, go to the city, go around the market, and decide what to sell. It's a matter of how my existence is perceived in this world before business.

It keeps the stepladder out, so it is stored in the item box. When the mountain bike spanned (again), it began rowing in the direction of 3 o'clock in the right hand from the direction where it had come so far.

"I want an electric assisted mountain bike, but it's expensive."

If you search in Shangri-La, it will be about 100,000 yen. Of course (of course), it can't be used in public...

I'm hungry, so I'll eat a little more chocolate.

After about an hour of rowing, I saw something like a road at the edge of the forest.

"From here, mountain biking will be awkward. Let's take a walk....."

As soon as I walked out with my mountain bike in the item box, I went out on the road. Of course (of course), there is no pavement and no gravel. It's a free dirt road.

Well, when it rains, it looks like mud (muddy)... But it's easier to walk than in the woods. Thanks to the item box, I don't have any luggage.

After walking for a while, I noticed quite a lot of traffic. A carriage full of luggage passes by.

Various carriages pass through with and without a front. They all have different shapes, so they're all handmade.

As I was walking along the end of the road to avoid getting in the way of the carriage, I was suddenly called out.

"Are you walking?

"What about it?"

When he suddenly turned to his voice, a carriage standing beside him stopped. The horse is large with black hair and has a fairly sharp body.

"Are you going to Daria?

A young man in khaki was looking at me. No, more than that - the problem is that it makes sense.

"Maybe you mean me?

Who else is there besides you? You're going to Dalia, aren't you?

"Oh, yeah."

It seems that the city seen from the woods is called Daria. Again, the words make sense. He's lucky.

"Want a ride?

"Thank you, but I don't have any money."

"Dalia's right there. It's free."

Seriously, it's a boat crossing. If I could use a mountain bike, I'd be there any minute. Even if I looked at the man's face, I didn't feel like there was anything behind it, so I decided to get an honest ride.

"My name is Hoyo, thank you. I'm a merchant."

I'm Kenchi.

"Ha ha, that's a strange name."

He seems like a nice guy, so I ask him a lot of questions here - my black hair isn't uncommon either.

The carriage shakes and the conversation continues with the man. On the man's chest is something like a rod-shaped metal accessory hanging from his neck.

There's a stone on the tip.

"So, there were only black heads where you were?

This owl has red brown hair. I didn't dye it, but it seems to have such a color originally.

"Oh, I see. I'm embarrassed, I've never been outside the village before, until I was this old."

"Well, if you're not a merchant, there are a lot of them. Did you leave the village to do business?

"Oh, that's it."

In the meantime, let's do that. I worked in the fields at home, and I was in the countryside, so I have a lot of farming knowledge.

"In that case, I don't know... do you have an item box?

"Do you know the item box?

This guy was surprised. Do you already have the word "item box" on the status screen... it does say "item box".

The screen is written in Japanese...

"I don't have a lot of guys, but I've never met anyone with an item box before."

Really?

I have an item box, but you haven't done business before?

"Oh, I put in vegetables taken from the field. If you put it in, it won't bud or rot."

Of course, it's a lie.

"That's what I heard. Well, that's convenient. You can earn money transporting things and valuables."

Well... I'm going to try a lot. "

He seems to be a merchant, so he asks many questions about how to do business. It seems we need to register with the Commercial Guild in order to do business.

The registration fee is said to be one silver coin, but it is unclear how much a silver coin is worth.

On the way, cross a stone bridge over a small river. From the top of the bridge, it appears that the children are fishing in the riverbank. I think that a city where children are well is a good city.

--I arrived in the city while I was talking to him. Dive through the thick walls of the castle, and when you enter, the city spreads.

I can't find a tall building - it's about three stories tall, but it's stone. I get the impression that the street is a lively city with many people.

There was a sentry at the entrance, but I didn't want him to inspect anything, it was a complete pass.

The others seemed to be entering and exiting freely. Carriage through the city as it is.

"Don't you get tested or taxed to get into the city?

"I don't have any taxes. I hear about a city like that - it's not around here. Sometimes the gates of the walls close when bandits come out, but rarely."

After about five minutes, it seems to have arrived at its destination. I started unloading, so I decided to help.

Sorry.

"Thanks for the ride."

After the work is done, I'll have him tell me where the commercial guild and inn are. This is best taught by locals. There's nothing to worry about.

"Niisan, you're a good man, and you've taught me a lot, so I'll give you this."

I gave him a leather drawstring bag with pepper on it.

"What is this?

The man opened the drawstring bag and was surprised by the smell.

"This is pepper!

"Yes, it is."

"Hey, are you kidding me? Can't you get something as expensive as this? I'll pay you."

"No...."

"Whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa Do you know why?

After a while, I raised my index finger.

"Nothing is higher than that."

"Exactly. You're good for merchants. Trade is basically bartering. I don't trade anything without consideration. That's the basics."

The man took a bag of gold out of his pocket and gave me two silver coins.

"This is what it looks like. Besides, this leather bag is also fine. The price of this is six pieces of copper."

I also got the bronze coins.

It's pretty hard.

"We can't do business unless we're tough. He didn't knock on the stone bridge. Hahaha"

But I got the cash. I don't know what it's worth. But because it's expensive and I've given it to you, it's quite a sum of money.

"I might ask you something weird, but how many silver coins are gold coins?

"Four silver coins and one gold coin. Well, some countries have different conversion rates depending on where they are, so I don't think it's funny to ask."

Okay, thank you.

"Hahaha, you look different."

Well, since you're a stranger, it's only natural that you're a cracker.

"But you. You're not going to do business with pepper, are you?

"I don't think so.

"The spices here are controlled by Bakopa. It's a mess to watch them, right?

"Are you raising prices by price fixing or restricting distribution?

Well, it's everywhere. The lucrative ones have an interest and flock to him.

"Exactly. I'll do all of you."

"Be careful."

Bye.

Saying goodbye to the young merchant, I decided to go to the inn. We need a base of operations for now.

But when I tried to make money easily with pepper and spices, I got my nose kicked. Unfortunately... we have to go around the market and do something else.

------◇◇◇------

Walk down the street for a while and observe the city. It's bustling in there.

The windows of a slightly fine building have transparent panels, so the glass exists, but it is probably an expensive substitute.

It may not be glass, but it may be a fantasy substance like tetrate...

In about five minutes, I saw a building that looked like a taught inn. It's a two-story stone building with white lacquer on the walls, but it's falling off quite a bit.

And on the wooden door is a sign with meat and dishes drawn on it.

"It looks like that anyway..."

When I pushed the door into it, it closed behind me - it seemed to close automatically with a hammer and pulley device.

The exterior is made of stone, but the interior is paved and dim, with eight wooden tables and chairs lined up around them. It's more a dining room than an inn.

You can see the counter in the back.

I don't have any customers - it's already past noon and it's probably around 2: 00 now. I don't have any lunch guests and I think they're free.

"Welcome. Dinner? Or stay?

I'm staying.

A slightly slippery girl with black hair wrapped around her back and apron-like front. Around the age of 18, she's cute inside.

"One small square silver coin with rice for a stay, and three bronze coins for a prime stay"

You can buy a lot of rice at Shangri-La. We need to save local currency.

Please stay overnight.

"I'll pay you in advance."

Donate 3 pieces of bronze from a young merchant.

Stay alone ~

Yes ~

From the back, I can hear the voice of a man who looks like his master here.

"Is this your daughter?

"No, it's not. I live and work in the neighborhood. What about your uncle? Are you looking for a clever guy to earn money from commissioning around here?

"No, I was thinking of doing business."

"Then I can read and write calculations."

Ugh!

Well, did you read or write? I totally missed you. When I was shocked, the girl brought me something that looked like a ledger.

"How do you become a merchant when you can't read or write? Reading and writing calculations are required to register a commercial guild, right?

"I see... I can read and write in exotic languages. Plus, we can calculate."

Well then, there were 4 bags containing 12 linkers. How many linkers are there?

Linker sort of figured it out, but I know the answer.

"48, right?

"Wow! I can really calculate! What's your uncle's name?

Kenichi.

"Hmm, weird name. I'm Azarea. Nice to meet you."

Azarea writes something like my name in her ledger as thrash. This child seems to be able to read and write.

--However, the characters written are kind of like Roman characters....

"Azarea, I need a favor...."

"What?

"It's easy. Can you teach me how to read and write?

Yeah?

She's a little confused by my sudden request - that's right. But if you learn to read and write quickly, it feels like the fastest way to ask her.

"It's easy. I'll give you an exotic treat to thank you.

"Really? Sweets?

Azarea's eyes sparkle like children in sweet words.

"Oh, it's sweet, too."

Well then, if you don't have a job, that's fine.

"Well, then, please. It's easy."

I was guided to the room upstairs. Beds only in boarded rooms. There is no ceiling plate, and the upper structure is peeled off.

But - fortunately, it looks clean and beautiful, so I was relieved. I can finally sleep in bed.

"Put the sheets in this basket every day. If you have any other laundry, it will be an extra charge."

"Oh, I see. Now, if you're free, just tell me a little bit about the letters. I'm going to stay here for a few days."

"Got it. Don't forget the sweets."

"It's okay."

When Azarea left the room, I fell into bed. The sheets are linen from the touch.

Anyway, there are too many of them. In a different world - we have to do something about it and live there.

But I was relieved to finally get to the bed.

I was just going to lie down, but I fell asleep.
