In a Different World with a Smartphone

# 21 Rain, and chessboard.

It has been two weeks since the return of Wang Du. It's raining outside. I started coming down three days ago, and I'm still coming down. Apparently there's something like a rainy season in this world, too.

The guild's work is closed until the rain stops. That's why I'm studying magic. Well, I'm just picking up some unattributed magic that seems to work from a book I bought in Wang Du.

About 500 pages... I went on to read about a third of the total, but there are only four magics that seem to work. There are about 50 magics on a page, so 25000 in all... Four out of 25,000 of them seem to be available, so ~ … one in 6250…?

I picked up the

"enchants" that impart magical effects to matter,

"Paralysis" that paralyzes the opponent and prevents him from moving,

"modelling" to shape and reshape minerals and wood products,

"search," where you can search for what you want,

four.

Of these, "modeling" and "search" were quite useful. Well, there are a lot of inconveniences.

"Modeling" is a modeling technique that transforms matter into something that comes to mind, but it takes a lot of time, and if the image is not strong enough, something weird can be done.

I made a bit of a chessboard to try out, but the board had a lot of mass eyes, and the pawn had a bigger size and stuck out of the mass eyes.

It's hard not to float the image quite fine. I was able to do well while looking at the real thing, so I did a photo search of the chessboard on my smartphone and finished it while looking at it.

I learned "search" because I thought it would be useful when I did a drop or something, but it turns out that I can also do this magic, quite a lot of searching.

I thought there was no vanilla in this world, but I searched the market to find it.

That wasn't vanilla I know, it was some unusual fruit, like a petite tomato called "Coco". However, the flavors and aromas were vanilla in themselves and could be substituted adequately.

Even if they're different names and shapes, they're going to hit something I can judge "vanilla." Really, it's a mess.

However, this also has drawbacks and has a narrow effective range. About fifty meters radius. It seems hard to use to find people.

"You're hungry..."

When I checked the time, it was past lunch. Reasonably.

I'll book, lock my room and go down the inn stairs. Mr. Doran and the owner of "Weapon Store Bear Eight", Mr. Balal, sat face to face in the dining room. What's between them is a board made of wood with mass eyes.

"Is it chess again"

"Ooh."

I laugh bitterly at Doran, who nails me on the board and replies without even looking at me.

The chess I tried to make for the "modeling" test, but the one who was most interested in this was Doran from the inn. When I teach the rules, I am stunningly hooked on their fun and enthusiastic until I pull on someone I know. Likewise, Mr. Balal had a crush, and as long as he had time, these two were patsy.

Well, to be honest, I'm glad Mr. Balal had a crush on me. Until then, I was the only opponent, and how many times have we been matched?

I'm not that strong knowing the rules of chess. [M] I didn't get into it that much. I could have won at first, but now I'm not going to be Mr. Drun's opponent. I used to say that it's what you like that makes you good at things.

Ask Micah, who was in the kitchen, for lunch. I sat in a seat a little further from the dining room to keep the two of us out of the way.

"Mr. Barral, do you prefer the store?

"This rain doesn't bring a lot of customers. I've left it to my wife. More than that, Mr. Winter Night, can you get me another set of chessboards?

"Huh? I already gave you Mr. Barral's share, didn't I?

I made a set the other day and just gave it to Mr. Balal, who wants to practice at home.

"Simon the tool shop said he wanted it too. Please."

"Well, fine..."

I wish someone was clever enough to make it... and I thought, would it take a lot of work if I tried to make it with Kittin?

"No, thank you. Now,"

"Royal Hand"

"Colour!?

Now Mr. Barral put his arms together and glanced over the board, to the words of Mr. Drun, who kept staring at the board. Really, it's crazy. I didn't think it would be this far.

With that in mind, Micah brought me my lunch.

"Yes, hey, wait. Dad, come on."

"Wa no. This is the only one."

Mr. Doran turns to Mr. Micah in a worshipping manner. Well, if it doesn't rain, we're both not doing this much during the day. The idea is to use long rain as an excuse.

Mr. Micah brought you some mountain vegetable pasta and tomato soup for lunch, plus two slices of apples.

"No, Mr. Micah, what about everyone else?

"I think Lindsey's in her room, but Else and Yae went out."

"In this rain?

"I went to buy a new treat for Palento."

Oh, that one. Because of this, I found some vanilla, so I talked to Mr. Ael about how I could make some vanilla roll cakes.

Ma, I just taught you the recipe and how to make it, and I almost just watched it. But this was delicious again. I also had a roll cake made when I was in good shape.

When I told Else and the others the story, why didn't you bring it back, they tightened your neck. Irrational.

The new one was to be sold today.... so even if you don't go in this rain.

Sweets obsession. Don't be afraid.

"I'm home. Ugh, wet -"

"It's just now."

Whoa. Rumor has it, you two are back. Tap the umbrella you were giving me and stand at the entrance.

There is no such thing as a plastic umbrella in this world. There are umbrellas themselves, but what is used is basically cloth. Still, it stains it with wood resin and so on to make it water repellent and creative.

"Welcome back. Did you get it?

"Just. The rain saved me because I didn't have many people on the contrary."

Else lifts the bag to show it. You have a good smile, at all.

"It was delicious."

"Hey."

Have you even eaten? How much?

"Yes, this, Micah's share"

"Thank you. I'll pay you later."

Else took a total of four white boxes out of the bag and handed one of them to Mr. Micah. Micah was asking for it.

"What about the rest?

"One is Lindsay's, the other is ours. Deliver the rest to the Duke."

"Huh, me?

Or are you guys still eating!?

"Besides you, who in this rain can get to the King's Capital? It's common sense, isn't it?

Then you should come too, and when I gave it back, they refused to be afraid. What the hell, that.

I don't have a choice, do you want to come? Things are just for things, you should have them eaten early.

And the other day, when I went to Wang Capital, the Duke also showed an interest in chess. Make it a souvenir, too?

Put a no in Mr. Dran and let him use the waste material that is piled up in the backyard. Start "Modeling" and make two sets of chessboards and pawns. I've made it many times already, so I'm used to it.

I can do enough. Check it out. Yeah, you'll be fine. I've built more than one flying car before.

Return to the dining room and give Mr. Barral a set. I put a box of roll cakes and pawns in a bag and held the chessboard aside.

"Well, I'll be there"

I grabbed my umbrella and headed back to the backyard again to get around at the gate. Better not be as conspicuous as possible.

The exit... is in the shadow of the Mansion Gate.

"Gate"

"Well! Oh, my God!

"It can't be, su. But it's really delicious. It's called a roll cake."

Master Ellen and Su are having roll cakes with great joy. That was worth bringing. The Duke is also roaring and eating.

"No, I envy the reflectors that you can eat this any time you want. If I could use a" gate "like you, I'd go buy it every day."

"If you don't mind, I'll show the cook at the mansion the recipe and how to make it. It's no secret."

"Is it true, winter night! Mother, now you can eat every day!

It was Su who reacted abnormally to my words. Hey, who's out there, Duchess?

"If you su already. If you eat it every day, you'll get fat. Keep it every other day."

The Duchess's scratch with a laugh by the way. I don't feel much different every other day. The next time I come, if Su was so fat, I'd feel a little guilty...

"So this is the example of chess?

"Yes. It's a game you two play, would you like to try?

Before the Duke looks at the chessboard and the pawn, I line up the pawn for myself.

"Father! Weird too!

"Well, wait. Let's start with me."

The Duke lines up the pawns on his own as he imitates me. [M] Ah, the position of the flying car and the corner is the opposite.

"First of all, that's how pawns move. This says" walk, "and it represents a soldier. We can only move forward one thing, but when we get into the other's position..."

"Hmm..."

The Duke remembers the way the pawn moves one after the other. Quite quick to remember. This will improve soon.

But it didn't take long for me to regret it...

"Another inning! Let's just do one more inning! 'Cause I'm gonna end up next!

I just heard that line...... As a result, the Duke was just as haunted as Mr. Doran, and in the end I was matched to the battle. It's already totally night...... I'm tired of waiting, and Su's asleep on the couch.

I thought once again, this world is less entertaining. I wonder if that's why this is happening.

"This is interesting. I want my brother to try it too!

Late in the night, when I was freed, the Duke told me something terrible. I don't think so, but it won't even haunt the king. There's no such thing as national politics alone in chess...

Oh, it's raining.
