My First Trip was to Another World

Half-drawn life has been going on in Erminsur for some time now. 'Half' is because I go out occasionally. No matter how far away you go, you can take a day trip, so you don't feel very far away.

I also went to Bilbao in Arencia the other day, but it felt like I was going to a "little convenience store" degree because I was on a day trip.

I'm tired of my pulling life. I want to go camping. I guess somewhere to go......

"Hey, everyone wants to go somewhere, no?

Ask everyone for their opinion.

"Where... what is it?

Luna asked back with a troubled look. I guess the question was too sloppy.

"It's just a game, but you want to camp. Is there somewhere fresh and fun?

"Huh... I can't think of any. How's Mr. Lily?

"Right...... I know if I'm in the city, but not much outside. How's Leeds?

"I don't know. I only know the village where I was born and the king's capital. Claire would know, wouldn't she?

"... there's no such thing as a fun wild boarding house. It's usually pretty tough, isn't it?

As a result of the question relay, I didn't get any ideas.

Outside the city there are demons, so it's hard to camp. Night vigilance is hard anyway. There are alarm props, but that's not enough. If there's more than two of them, it's common to be on guard all night.

We take turns sleeping too, but we have signs and maps so we can camp relatively safely. I wish I could camp anywhere......

When we were all roaring "hmm," Lumia suddenly pinched her mouth.

"Then why not just this forest?

"Hmm? This forest? What's this all about?

"It's Mr. Cabel's memory that this forest looks pretty big, doesn't it? Mr. Elf's connections are working, and he's safer than anywhere else."

Lumia has the memory of Cabel, the owner of her body. Cabel was the queen of the elves, so his knowledge is quite abundant.

Sure, the idea of this forest might be good. The perimeter of Erminsur is surrounded by deep woods. It's more of a jungle than a forest. I thought it was my garden, so I was out of my mind.

There's no need for strong vigilance in this forest, and I just wanted to do an investigation.

"Thanks for the good idea. I'm gonna go. I'm gonna stay a night or two, but who wants to go, are you there?

Recruit participants. Nothing. I don't have a problem with solo camping by myself, but if there's anyone I want, I'll take them.

"I'll be with you."

"Gone - hey!

"Let's go too this time"

"It's just a game, isn't it? Isn't that okay? I'm coming too."

Irvin is swimming his eyes uncomfortably as the party members successively announce their participation.

"I... have some business to attend to..."

Irvin's not in... No, what's an errand? I don't look busy.

"Oh, because Irvin doesn't seem to like Nojuku. Don't ask him."

When Claire said that, Irvin missed his eye with a bumpy face.

You think I don't like camping? Unbelievable...... Well, people have their own hobbies. You're leaving a message this time.

Lumia, who came up with this proposal, is cheeky with fruit that seems uninteresting. I don't even need to hear back. I'm basically unwilling to get out of this palace, so it's just useless to ask. I'm even eating and sleeping here.

Honestly, I wanted Lumia to come. I don't know the vegetation in this forest, so Cabel's knowledge helps. Well, there's no choice this time. Camping while researching on its own is also fun.

When that happens, I'd like to add a few more elements of play. Since I came to this world, the camp has become too comfortable. The tent, of course, was just more leisure than camping, surrounded by tables, dishes and other convenient goods.

"Because of this, let's make it more difficult this time"

"Difficulty...? What do you mean?"

"All ingredients are sourced locally, use of magic props is prohibited in principle, and use of magic is discouraged"

It's called tie-in play. Just a little ingenuity not to make it just leisure.

"Huh...? This is just a game, isn't it?

"Hmm? Right? Playing makes it harder."

Because this is my garden. I usually make it as comfortable as possible for safety, but I don't need an excessive safety margin.

When I say tie up demon props, I won't take off my defensive bracelet. Plus, I'll take the smartphone. Well, the smartphone has an anti-forgetting feature, so I can't leave it.

"Magic bags are good, right?

"No. Isn't that the most convenient magic trick? Of course it's forbidden."

"Wait. That's too tight."

After all, I can't get used to it conveniently. To be honest, magic bags are incredibly convenient. It is no exaggeration to say that camping in this world is unusually comfortable because of that.

"I don't understand Ko-kun's intentions..."

Mr. Lily squeaked in surprise.

"It's easy. Convenient tools don't know when they'll be gone. So you get used to not being there."

This is the same thing in Japan. That's why I reduce my gear to the extreme. Electricity, gas and water supply. It's common in Japan, but it's well thought that it won't be available for some kind of applause. For example, "Suddenly summoned to another world".

Convenience is not the norm. If you're not aware of "convenient if you have one," you're in terrible trouble when it's gone.

Besides, camping is more fun to inconvenience. Go taste the unusual. It's no different than staying home if it's too convenient.

"Looks like training after all..."

Early morning training in Alencia, I remember that one. Even during that training, the use of magic props is restricted. Carrying heavy baggage is part of the training.

"Well, okay. Playing and training is a piece of paper. If you can afford to have fun, play and practice are the same."

"I can afford to have fun... I wonder if there is such a thing"

"Really? Sounds fun. Yikes?

Leeds tells Neng Weather. Maybe I'm just not thinking deeply, but Leeds is fat for it. Surprisingly, life might be strong.

"Sounds like you're feeling good. If you're going to enjoy it, you can also enjoy the tight environment"

"Well, you are. Could be surprisingly fun."

Luna and Claire nodded as they tilted their necks at Mr. Lily's agreement. I wonder if it's okay to say yes.

"Okay! Well, let's pack up now!

In the dining room and living room, start packing while Lumia and Irvin watch.

Apart from the magic bag, I also have a regular backpack for once. To avoid suspicion that it was not Mirzia, I had prepared for the number of people. It has a capacity of about 80L and contains a significant amount of luggage. I thought I would never use it again, but this time it worked great.

Pick up only what you need from your magic bag. A careful selection of luggage is one of the pleasures of camping.

The first thing you need is a knife. Take out the usual Machete and the knife I got at the Royal Castle. It's for dismantling and cooking. Without at least two, you will be framed for looking for obsidian stones at times of need.

Next, rope. Prepare the thin, sturdy rope for a few 10 m. I can handle it without it, but it better be.

And then dishes. A skillet and a lunchbox would suffice. You can use leaves for dishes.... Speaking of which, Luna pissed me off before. "Leaves are not dishes," he said. Well, I don't care.

I don't take tents or shrubs this time. Ermin Srl is warm and rains less this time of year. A tarp would suffice.

At the end of the day, seasonings and fine tools are served and packed into the backpack. That's it for my stuff. Fitted quite compactly.

When I finished packing and looked at everyone, the oversized backpack held large enough luggage to swell into the bread.

"Guys, isn't that too much?

"That's not true...... your luggage, it's too little!

Claire screamed as she looked at my little shriveled backpack.

"This is what happens if you select it carefully. Guys, we have too much extra stuff."

Spread all everyone's baggage once and check the contents.

Weapons and daily groceries, tarps, ropes… we have everything we need. Claire is used to solo camping, so I guess Luna and the others got ready to ask Claire. But there's too much wasted baggage. Let's pay attention to each and every one of them.

First of all, Claire. It contains tons of food and a simple tent. As a camper, I'm right, but not to the spirit of this one.

"You said the food was sourced locally, right?

"But emergency food..."

"We can go home with metastatic magic in an emergency, so we don't need that stuff. And I don't even need a tent. If you want a bunk, you can take a hammock."

The hammock is bought for the number of people. Even in winter it is surprisingly warm because it is the type covered with cloth, not nets. If you make him a roof with a tarp, he's more comfortable than a lousy tent.

"When you change, what do you do?

"Huh? Are you getting dressed?

"Huh? You're not getting dressed?

"You're just going to stay the night, so you don't need to change. Just take the towel and you'll be fine."

"Oh well... so is that"

Everyone else is getting ready to get dressed less. It's a waste of baggage, so let's wrap it up and pay attention.

"Everybody, because you don't need to change. Keep it back in your magic bag."

When I said that, everyone started packing shithole and clothes into magic bags.

In the meantime, check Luna's belongings. There was no tent or food in it, but all of the free space was filled with dishes and cookware. Are you willing to open it in the jungle, even in a restaurant?

"Luna has too many dishes. The dutch oven is too heavy, so you should leave it."

"But I can't make a stew without this"

"Before that, I don't know if I can get the stew ingredients. Narrow it down to just the least amount of cookware."

"Ah... it was"

Luna was hazy and began to clean up the dishes. This will clear the bulk of the baggage.

Next up, Leeds. All you need is what you need for camping. Still, the backpack is pampered. Occupying the bulk of its volume was its favorite magic prop creation tool.

"Leeds. You don't need the tools to create demonic props. What are you gonna make?"

"I want to make it as soon as I think of it."

"You just have to take notes. That's what I do all the time."

"Oh..."

Leeds looked lonely, putting a set of magic prop creation tools back in his magic bag. Why did you think I needed this...... A mystery.

Finally, check Mr. Lily's luggage. There are tons of convenience tools lined up around Mr. Lily's backpack. Lighters, lamps, mowing... some portable washlets, too. It's all magic props.

"Lily, were you listening to me? It's loaded with magic props."

"Original (...) rule (...) Prohibited, right? I know. They're all magic tools for emergencies. I only use it when I have to."

"Because when I have to, I go home with metastatic magic. Because it won't be dangerous. Don't worry, let's leave the magic props behind."

They are all magic props that can be used for camping, but contrary to the spirit of not using convenient objects. You better not take it from the beginning because you rely on it when you have it.

"Mmm... I'm anxious I don't have any magic props on hand..."

Demonic addiction? Like smartphone addiction. Well, for Lily, there's a part of her life where magic tricks are. Can't you help but get anxious?

"Well, let's just take a portable washlet"

I think it's the ultimate convenience tool, but I think I'll just allow it to be used. It is not good to use weird leaves to make your skin rough. It's for your health. Besides, I want to use it too.

I heard Irvin whining as I packed.

"It's good to say no..."

When I look at Irvine, I look at this one with my eyes like I look at a pathetic person. Who's pathetic? I'm a little pissed off. All right, next time you're forced to join.

I spent quite a bit of time just packing. The departure is early tomorrow morning. Let's go to bed early today and get ready for tomorrow.
