Konjiki no Moji Tsukai (Reboot)

2: To the Alliance

"Well, as I said earlier, I had nothing to do with the four of you. You want four brave men, right? You wouldn't want me, would you?

"Nh, muu..."

Rudolph roared with a difficult expression. I seem to be wondering what to do.

"Because they're brave, they can fight a lot with the Magus, right? But I'm an ordinary man. You're not gonna let me fight those dangerous guys, are you?

Though there is some righteousness in the Japanese language, hostility has seeped out from soldiers and others as to whether they still feel angry with the way they speak to the king.

"... then let's hear it. What do you want me to do?

"How about going back to the original world?

"... it seems in the literature that the King of the Magus knows the magic of repatriation."

Rudolph's words echoed in The Throne Room, but Lilith's expression instantly darkened. Looking at it, the color of the day quietly closes his eyes. Then the ambition comes between the two conversations.

"If you don't mind, you should defeat the King of the 'Demon Clan' now!

I thought he was stupid. Suppose you knew, what would you do with him? I was stunned by the ambition to release words alone.

"Uh-huh. Exactly. Besides, this country is great, and I'm sure you'll like it. You're just like our family."

Looking at Rudolph, who lined up his words so desperately that he could hear them, he looked kind of pathetic, and the sun coloured his shoulders.

"Ah, but it's not a hill village, but I'm worried about the family I left behind."

It seems that not only Senga but others are worried about the same thing.

"You don't have to worry about that, do you?

Rudolph waves to the scholarly man beside him. The man answers in a hurry, lowering his head many times because he was shaken suddenly.

"Ah, hah, yes! Actually, there were no brave men out there from the beginning!

"No, it's supposed to be gone!?

The words seemed quite shocking. The other three show the same surprise as the vocal ambition.

"Ah, no, don't worry! That's because the power is working to match the twists of the other world. When I get back over there, I'll go back... yes"

The color of the day I saw a scholarly man distracting himself from his ambition and taking a suspicious attitude was

(That's a lie...)

I definitely felt that from their attitude. I felt the unnaturalness that was obviously being repaired.

(Probably everything they just said is a lie. That's probably why I made it up to convince us. There is no magic of repatriation, that is, returning to the original world... At least for now)

I wonder if there are four of them who are aware of it, and I stare at each face.

The ambition is completely unaware. Chiyoshi looked the same. In the meantime, it was Juli who frowned on their words.

I don't know if I feel the smell of the words right now, but I seem to remember the catch.

And I know from the words of the royals that no matter how I fall, I am not a trusted opponent.

(Well, I don't care if they can go home. I... can live anywhere else)

Himura Nikkei was raised in a child care facility. My parents didn't abandon me, they died in an accident when I was young.

After that, he was handed over to a child care facility and raised. I made quite a few friends there. But I liked reading more than that, and I spent almost every day reading different books.

A book would have been a better place to call a friend than a human friend.

It's not like there's nothing to be lonely about, but there's no reason why you have to go back to the other world. So if you can't find another way to get home, it won't be a problem.

From what you just saw, you probably know there's no way back, Lilith. I can see a little shadow on his face. Maybe you're still hesitating to tell a lie.

Rudolph's explanation made it clear that there was no way back now anyway, and the aspirants discussed the future.

"Indeed, as the hill village said, you called us on your own. I think it's selfish."

Rudolph's face was as reluctant as his ambition told him.

"But...."

I stared at the faces of three people other than Japanese. Then everyone laughs and looks at Rudolph again.

"We'll do it!

"Hmm, you're really going to do it!

Rudolph shouted.

"Yeah, we were just talking about how we wanted to travel in this world."

"Yeah! We're on an adventure together in an online game!

As Senga said, they were playing online RPG with four people in their original world.

And they often gathered together like after school to discuss places to go on adventures.

Even when they flew me here, they were just talking about the four of us wanting to venture into a world like this.

So, will you do it!

Instead...

Rudolph's next words came out in vain.

"Looking at Status, we are still at Level 1. So you're still a beginner, right?

"Uh-huh. That's how it works."

"As it stands, I don't think you can fight the" Magus Clan "properly. So... I'd like you to teach me how to fight.

"Don't worry about that. When it comes to fighting....."

At that time, a person wearing armor appeared from among the soldiers.

"I'll explain everything from here. There was a brave man."

I fell on one knee and hung my neck while saying that.

"My name is Will Kimble. I ask you, brave men, to teach you how to fight."

"Incidentally, he is the army of this country, and he is also the commander of the 2nd Army."

He is a handsome man with a straight face. The system is no different from ambition. If you just look at your tight body, you can see that you're working hard. She had short green hair and strong eyes.

It would not be impossible for a woman to focus on him. Though Chika is staring at him with no interest or expression.

"Does that mean that handsome guy is going to train us?

"Yes, the border area has been calm for a while now. I want you to be strong before it gets too intense again."

Rudolph answered Shinobu's question.

"Ah, is living in a quiet place...?

"It's available in this castle. I'll show Lilith around later."

Apparently the story went on and on, and the aspirants decided to fight. After that, Lilith taught me some common sense in Idea .

And after being taught some common sense, the color of the day gently raises its hand.

"I'm sorry, but I'm free to move.

Everyone is silent about the words as if they stopped time again, but from the color of the sun, it is better to make such an expression.

"No, no, I have no reason to fight if I don't owe this country anything. Besides, I'm not as brave as you guys are. So there's no reason to be here anymore."

"Mm... but"

"I'm sorry, but I don't understand things as well as they do. Well, it's a strange world. I just want to spend as much time as I want. You don't mind, do you?

Rudolph makes a thought face and observes us.

It is true that the color of the sun is not a brave man, but a common man. It won't look strong either. Dark-haired, dark-eyed, 173 centimetres tall, but by no means muscular.

The only charm point would be wearing glasses. I am aware that it will be inferior to ambition at the handsome level.

When you look at the color of the day, you normally think that you can't fight as a very ordinary person. Rudolph must have thought so after observing the color of the day.

But it is also true that the rudolphs have called the sun colour. Did Rudolph think it was impossible to throw it out without doing anything?

"Uh-huh. There is no other way to apologize fully for your loss. Is there anything you want me to do?

Release the word as at least atonement.

Nothing.

The sun colour is simply discarded.

"No, you don't?

"Oh, and I don't hate you. There seem to be some rare books in this world, and it seems quite interesting."

Even the sun is a man. I've yearned for adventure. I never wanted to walk in a world like this because I didn't have to go on a big adventure like the one written in a book.

"That's why there's no use here anymore. Goodbye."

When you say so and try to leave, the ambition grasps your arm.

"Hey! I've been talking about myself for a while, and you're still a man!

Oh?

Speak loudly. The ambition comes to grip his hand as if to convey his anger.

"This is how people in this country lower their heads! Aren't you going to help me a little?

I don't think so.

"Why?!

"I'm not a brave man. Or something? You're going to use it to kill a man with no power, aren't you?

"Nah... bulletproof..."

As your arms relax, shake your arms to get out of restraint.

"Enough, ambitious man."

Chika glanced and said. Clearly in a mood of disgruntlement.

"You know, you think so, don't you?

"Um... I'm..."

Zhu Li looked down confused, sometimes trying to say something, but not in words. When I thought Shinobu stared at the color of the day, I chuckled.

"Ahahah, is there anything else? This is like a game, but it's real, right? I mean, there's a danger to your life, right? We seem to be brave, and we're going to be strong, but in the hills and villages of ordinary people, let's do it. If you let him do it, you'll understand how he feels.

The words of Shinobu silenced the other three. Because that's the right thing to do. This is not a game. People are actually dying to call themselves. That's how serious it is.

"I see. Let's do it by ourselves."

The ambition seemed convinced.

The color of the sun won't give them a glance, but it's time to leave.

"Ah, you know!

The voice was Lilith. The color of the sun stops and turns around.

"Um... I'm sorry!

She looks at us anxiously. The color of the sun returns the face to its original position.

"Never mind."

It was time to leave the place.

I came out of the castle and thought about what was coming in the city.

(Well, let's start with RPG basics, gathering information.)

I should have asked the kings, but staying longer could have caused unexpected events and made it difficult to leave the country.

Moreover, some of the soldiers would have felt neglectful of the presence of the sun. I can't help it because I took such an attitude.

But that's why I left that place as soon as I could. And there are four good people out there. I decided that I would not need it.

(In the meantime, in this "Status" magic field... what is "Text Magic"? I know the attributes somehow. No attributes, I guess.)

Mobilize knowledge gained from games and novels. Speaking of magic, I also remember the word Alliance. I heard from the King that there are guilds in this world.

I asked the city about the Alliance's location and found it close by.

I'm going to register as an Adventurer in an Alliance for now. You can't live here or travel for free. We have to make money anyway.

By the way, money can be saved to Alliance cards. Payment can also be made by card. Lilith taught me some common sense.

When I went to the guild, it was pretty busy inside. Some receptions are lined with tough adventurers.

At the most end of the reception, a sign stating the registration request was pasted on the top.

Black hair, black eyes, and black runs are unusual, or they get less attention when the sun goes in.

It's natural because it's a student clothing I've never seen before. I thought about buying protective clothing soon. Walk to the reception as if you weren't interested in it while gazing at it.

Sorry, I'd like to register.

Speaking bluntly, the receptionist has created and explained a sales smile.

Alliances bring in a variety of requests. It seems that it is the adventurer who does the request and gets the reward.

The request is ranked as F · E · D · C · B · A · S · SS · SSS from below as a level representing difficulty.

An Alliance Card is issued to a Registrant, but it has the same role as a Nationally Owned Resident Card. It's a so-called ID.

Adventurers also have a rank, which is the same as the requested rank. But there are few adventurers above S rank. Especially three SSS-ranked adventurers appear to be from the "human race".

The receptionist brought me a pure white card and asked me to drain the blood there. She was given a small needle and used it to stab her finger and bleed.

Bloodshed cards become particulate and disappear after a while.

"Ah? It's gone?

"In your heart, think of it as an Alliance Card."

When you do what you're told, blue and white particles appear and gather into shape. It appeared as a card in my hand.

But there were a few different things about the card. It was supposed to be a pure white card, but the outer border of the card that appeared was blue and the letters were raised.

"This color represents the rank. Blue, purple, green, yellow, orange, peach, red, silver, gold and black from the bottom."

Hmph, I nodded and listened to the explanation. Check your crafted Alliance Cards while watching.

Name: Hiiro Okamura

Sex: Male

Age: 16

RACE: Human

Flom: Unknovn

Rank: F

Quest:

Equipment

• Weapon:

-Guard:

Accessory:

Rigin: 0

It was helpful if the origin of Flom was unknown. If it was written in other worlds, it would have been troublesome to explain.

EQUIPMENT is probably equipment. There are also fields for weapons, armor, and accessories. But more than that, I hear what bothers me.

"Hey, Riggin on this card...? What is this?"

"Yes? Savings amount....?

She tilted her neck with an expression like what she was saying. It is only natural that the inhabitants of this world should know the unit of gold called Riggin.

But it's only natural for Nikko, the alien who was summoned earlier, not to know.

When I asked, I understood that Lygine was almost the same monetary value as the yen in Japan. And it seems that the seventh Quest will reflect the quest, or request, that is currently being accepted.

(What a handy card.)

This will allow you to shop for money and prove your identity. Moreover, it is usually in its own body and exhibits the all-purpose of being able to take it out at any time.

"How do I accept a request?

"Choose from the bulletin boards over there. But you're rank F. You can also receive quests up to E on top of that."

"I see. How do I raise my rank?

"The more Quests you do, the more Experience you gain, the more Nature and Rank you get."

"In other words, if you do quite a bit of a quest, what's this blue border next...?

It's purple.

"You mean to turn into that purple?

"That's right."

He exclaims that it is a really useful card.

"However, in order to qualify above the SS rank, you will need the permission of the Alliance, so please note that you will be promoted to the S rank, and if you wish to qualify beyond that, you will apply to the Alliance, and if you qualify, you will be promoted."

If the level rises even if left unattended, you will be promoted to S-rank naturally, but you have to apply to the Alliance for something like a test.

I don't care because I'm not aiming for a SSS Ranker.

Well, why don't you pick a quest?

Murmuring like that, she turned to the bulletin board. Paper with various requests was posted there.

Church Roof Repair F

Want help fixing the roof of Amaruk Church. Experienced Preference.

Reward 10,000 Riggins

Fukubiki Grass Collection F

They want to harvest Fukubiki grass grown on the Asobit plateau.

Reward Fukubiki Grass Bundle 350 Rigging

Goblin Crusade E

I want to crush ten goblins that inhabit the Creel forest.

Reward 35,000 Riggins

(The more understandable it is, the more like a game... Quests and crusade requests don't make me feel real.)

There were many other quests, but I didn't hesitate to choose "Harvesting Fukubiki Grass." I'm still Level 1, so I'm honestly worried about the Enemy.

Perhaps even beginners can crush Goblins. However, it was decided that it would be better to raise the level of the crusade and get used to the battle.

"I see. However, if you retire on the way to the quest, you will incur a penalty of LY10,000."

Take the paper to the reception and order the quest. However, if a penalty is incurred, this must be avoided only by retiring, whether it is true or false. At least now I don't have any money.

Ask where the [Asobit Plateau] is first. The good news is that it is just around the corner from this country. If anything happens here, we can get into the country right away.

Then, let the Alliance show you the drawings that the Fukubiki Herb always holds.

(Looks like you read the drawing carefully.)

The colour of the day when I liked reading gave me a lust for knowledge. I really thought about renting a place to stay when I had saved up and going to the library for a while.
