Arifureta Shokugyou de Sekai Saikyou (WN)

In the town of Brooke, part one.

I can see the town in the distance. It's a small town surrounded by moats and fences. There is a wooden gate on the street facing it, beside which there is also a cabin. Probably a gatekeeper's clock. Even on a smaller scale, there seems to be a degree of placement of gatekeepers. Quite a bit, Hajime loosened her cheeks when she seemed to be able to make a full shopping trip.

"... If you're in a good mood, come on, will you take this collar?

Shea asks Hajime to smile when she looks at the city. The black-toned collar on Shea's neck is a fairly well made one, also discreet but attached, like a small crystal, which Hajime was forced to attach as punishment for Shea's silence. For some reason, Shea is asking me to remove it, but Hajime is through.

It's time to see Hajime and the others from the town, so Hajime and the others switched to walking after turning the Magic Drive two-wheel into a "treasure trove". On a boulder, riding on a pitch-black motorcycle would be a fuss.

On the road, Shea was complaining about Buthibuchi, but she still went through and finally reached the town gate. Apparently, the cabin by the gate was a gatekeeper's stall, and an armed man came out. The outfit just looks more like an adventurer than a soldier with a long sword on his hips in leather armor. The adventure-style man stopped Hajime and the others.

"Stop it. Give me the status plate. And what's the purpose of coming to town?

I guess it's a prescribed question. It is somewhat unmotivating. Hajime took out the status plate while answering the gatekeeper's question.

"Food supply is the main thing. On my journey."

A gatekeeper man checks Hajime's status plate as he hammers with a careless voice. And blinked my eyes. I try to keep it a little far away or rub my own eyes loose. Looking at the gatekeeper, Hajime said, "Oh, jerk, I forgot to cover it up," he sweated inside.

A status plate has the ability to hide statuses and skill columns. Because in adventurers and mercenaries, the leakage of information about combat capabilities can be fatal. Hajime lined up eight hundred lies in order to deceive him.

"A little while ago, a demon attacked me, and I think I broke it."

"Ko, broken? No, but..."

A baffling gatekeeper. It won't even be possible. Whatever, because Hajime's status plate doesn't have a level display, and the numbers in the status and the display in the skill fields are fucked up. I hear about the loss of the status plate sometimes, but I've never heard of it being broken (in the sense that the display bugs). So normally, I almost smile, but they show a realistic and unlikely indication, so I don't know how to judge them.

Hajime shook his shoulders in the wind of how troubled he was.

"If it's not broken, that's a strange indication, isn't it? It's like I'm a monster. Mr. Gatekeeper, do I look like the kind of monster that can destroy a town with one of those fingertips?

The gatekeeper laughs bitterly at Hajime, who tries to keep his hands wide open. If the status plate is displayed correctly, it literally means a monster that lightly outweighs even the Demon King and the Brave. It is more decent to assume that the plate is broken even if you have never heard of it.

Actually, if you find out it's really a monster, I'm sure this gatekeeper will fall. Yue and Shea have a frightened look at Hajime, who lies shamelessly.

"Ha, no, I don't see it. I've never heard the display bug, but, well, it's the first time everything's happened... the two of you..."

A gatekeeper turns his gaze to Yue and Shea as well, trying to ask them to submit a status plate. And stiff. When I look at him, dyeing his face bright red, he looks at Yue and Shea alternately with Bo and his unfocused eyes. Needless to say, Yue is such a beautiful girl that she finds herself confused with an exquisite biscuit doll. And Shea is also a beautiful girl full of mystery if she doesn't talk. I mean, the gatekeeper guy is losing his mind in love with the two of them.

Hajime coughs deliberately. Plus the gatekeeper hastily returns his gaze to Hajime.

"Because of the demon raid I just said, I lost my kid's. You know what I'm talking about?

Did that word alone convince the gatekeeper, so much so that he nodded and returned the status plate to Hajime.

"And you've got quite a bit of beauty. Isn't it pretty rare to have a gray-haired rabbit clan? You're surprisingly rich?

A gatekeeper asks Hajime with a mixed look of envy and jealousy, still looking at the two. Hajime answered nothing just shrugging his shoulders.

"Well fine. You can go through."

"Oh, thank you. Whoa, yeah. Where is the material redemption location?

"Am I right? Then if you go straight down the central road, you have an Adventurer's Guild. If you want to bring it directly to the store, ask where it is in the guild. Because it gives me a simple map of the town."

"Oh, that's kind of him. Thank you."

Getting information from the gatekeeper, Hajime and the others walk through the gate into town. I checked at the gate, but it seems the name of this town is Brooke. The whole town was quite vibrant. There are quite a few dewstores out there, though not as good as the town of Horde near Orcs I once saw, where you can hear the calls and the hustle and bustle of incandescent price negotiations.

This kind of noise is an unreasonable boost to mood. Not only does Hajime soothe Yue's eyes with pleasure. But only Shea had shuddered plumply from earlier and stared at Hajime with tears.

Hajime sighs worried about the boulder because she doesn't even yell at me, she just looks at me in tears. I gaze at Shea, complaining inside that I was in a good mood for water.

"What's going on? Even though it's a town because of it, you look like a gorilla-shaped demon desperately supported by being dropped from such a super-weight rock bed."

"Who's a gorilla! I mean, what kind of defeat are you doing! Mr. Hajime would be a blow! Isn't it pathetic to just imagine something!

"... I had tears in my eyes when I twisted my side or something"

"No kidding!? Too harsh! Don't be like that!

Angry, I'm very busy putting in a scratch, Shea. I slammed my hands all over my body and said, "Me, I'm unhappy!," he complains. By the way, the episode of the gorilla-type demon is a story from when it was turned into an experimental bench for compression smelting. Never, I was abusive and having fun. Yue was twisted when he did it. By the way, this demon is the inherent magic of the "proud arm."

"This is it! This collar! You've been mistaken for a slave because of this! Mr. Hajime, you knew and attached it! Ugh, that's terrible. We weren't one of them."

Seems that's what makes Shea angry. Though I thought I was a fellow traveler, I seemed quite shocked that I was intentionally made to be treated like a slave. Of course, the collar Hajime put on is not the original collar for slavery and has no power to restrain Shea. That, too, Shea knows. But even so, shocking things are still shocking.

Hajime looks at Shea like that as she scratches her head with crunch.

"You know, there's no way a sub who's not even a slave, a popular rabbit who's also for fun, can walk through town normally, right? Well, you're a gray-haired rabbit, rare, with great looks and style. I assure you, if you hadn't shown yourself to be someone's slave, you'd be in town and you wouldn't have had enough eyes. After that, there will be a constant storm of crowds. Trouble...... so kneky?

If you have an excuse, say it. Ya gora! Shea, who was staring at Hajime like that, began to blush and ear her cheeks like she was lit inside listening. Yue looks at Shea with a chilled look.

"Also, already, Mr. Hajime. What do you suddenly say in front of such a public? Such an excellent appearance, style and character, and the cutest and most fascinating thing in the world. Oh, my God! Shame on you, Bubbles!?

Yue's golden right straight pierces Shea's cheek as she gets on track and tells the story. Shea falls screaming without cute shards. I wasn't fortifying myself, so I wake up scrubbing my reddened cheeks in another way.

"... don't get on with it"

"... Subiban, Yuezan"

Shea shivering her body in a chilled Yue voice. Hajime continues the conversation, turning his gaze toward the way it was.

"Ahhh, I mean. In the territory of the human race, it's more of a slave status that protects you. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

"That's... I know..."

I can see reason and usefulness. But again, Shea, a look that seems hard to convince and dissatisfied. I guess I just had a strong yearning for something called a buddy, and I can't break it off so easily. To Shea like that, now Yue spoke up.

"... I don't care about the ratings of the elephants"

"Mr. Yue?

"... the important thing is enough for your loved ones to know.... No?

"…………… yes, that's right. That's right."

"... well, I don't mean to... Shea's the one I admitted to... don't worry about the little things"

"... Mr. Yue... eheh. Thank you very much."

A blood-sucking princess who once heard the voice of the masses and waved her power for them. The new answer that led to the end of betrayal had a definite weight, albeit with few words. That's why the words fall ston Shea's heart. I know that I am a dear companion of Hajime and Yue, both of the Haurian tribe and Hajime and Yue. We don't need 10,000 people to understand until we bring in unwanted trouble. Of course, if I could do that, I'd never go over it...

Shea looks at Hajime with a chill as she smiles in the light of Yue's words. Like expecting some word.

Hajime spins words with his shoulders up like he had no choice.

"Well, if you're not a slave, I won't abandon you if you're attacked."

"Even if people from all over the city become enemies?

"You know, you already killed an Imperial soldier, right?

"Then even if the country is against them! Hehe."

"What are you talking about? It doesn't change whether it's the world or God. If you're hostile, I'll fight whatever you want."

"Kufu, did you hear that? Yue. Hajime said this, didn't he? How important we are!"

"... I'm the only one who cares about Hajime"

"Hey, please read the air! That's where I'm going to respond honestly, '...' as usual!

Shea with a happy and fun look while complaining. If you have to, the word that you will fight the world for yourself is still a joy as a single woman. Well, if that's the person you fell in love with, then forget it.

Hajime starts talking about Shea's collar with the twisted (seemingly) two on her ass.

"Later, that collar, but it incorporates a reading stone and a specific stone, so use it if you need it. Because you can use it if you pour out your magic directly."

"Is it a talking stone and a specific stone?

Talking stones are minerals that can literally be talked about. Generating magic confers "mindset" on the ore, making it possible to talk far and away in proportion to the amount of magic that can be included. Most importantly, at this stage, it is not possible to call only certain reading stones, so all the holders in the range receive them and are not suitable for private conversations.

Specific stones have been magically generated to grant "Sign Sensing [+ Specific Sensing]". Specific sensing makes it easier to identify with other signs by viewing only certain signs in color from among many. They used it so that they could act like beacons by instilling magic in them. The strength of the beacon is proportional to the amount of magic infused.

To Hajime's explanation, Shea raises her voice of inspiration.

"By the way, that collar, by flushing exactly a certain amount of magic, you can take it off properly, right?

"I see, I mean, this is... whenever you want to hear my voice, that's how Hajime feels about knowing where I am, right? Ugh, do you like me that much? No to boulders, I think I'm feeling a little heavy, ah, but I don't hate anything else. Shh!?

"... stay on track"

"Gusu, shimmy"

Yue's kick, which flew in with a beautiful curve, was decided on the back of his head, Shea falling down with a strange scream. From Yue, a chilling voice is called. Shea apologizes with tears to Yue for showing off her brilliant high kick that she didn't like melee...... Forgive me for accompanying you on your journey, but that's not how they forgive you for your approach to Hajime. Most of all, it is doubtful whether Shea's words and actions are approached.

Friendly like that? Walk down Main Street and discover a sign with a single great sword on it. It's a sign for the Adventurer Guild that I once saw in the town of Holad. The scale is about two turns smaller than that of the holads.

Hajime stepped in as he opened the door that looked heavy when he checked the sign.
