Transition to Another World, Landmines Included

That day, as I returned from my master's place and rested in my room, the door to my room was knocked.

There shouldn't be anyone to visit, but when I opened the door thinking, it was you, Toya, who was standing there.

"Is that it? Are you back? You were going fishing, weren't you?

"Oh, just now. So, Tommy took care of me, and I brought you a souvenir. Here."

That being said, Toya, there are two quite splendid yamamees in the barrel you offered.

It's frozen in the cock, though.

"Heh, that's amazing! This size is hard to catch!

Normal is about 20 cm. But, Toya, your fishing turtle is 1.5 times that. Good tenacity and looks quite tasty.

Good, this would have been good fishing.

"Did the catch mean the hairy needle went well?

"Thank goodness. However, whether or not the hair needle was well made..."

Thoya snorts, but smiles bitterly.

I thought you caught quite a few of them.

"-? You caught it, didn't you?

"I caught what I could catch, but I caught it too easily. Of course we were, and the Hulkas were easy to catch. In a way, it might not be enough for a fisherman."

"Do you mean you can fish without skill? And maybe some people don't enjoy it."

Sometimes fishermen look forward to rushing with fish and say that fishing is second to none.

Some people don't take it back after they catch it.

I eat more than I fish! That's the type.

"How was the danger? Is that enough for me to go?

"There was no danger about this one, but it doesn't change that you can't take him cheap. Tommy is free to be an adventurer and go at his own risk, but in the form of us taking him."

Toya laughs like you're in a little trouble. [M]

After all, you don't keep other people's lives, do you?

Neither do I want to die for fishing, and Toya, if you die for me, you won't sleep well.

I even felt a little cold, Mr. Hulka. 'Cause he doesn't actually seem like him.

Am I going to have to be strong enough not to get my feet together at least? [M]

"Hey, Toya, what do you think we should start with in order to be strong?

"Hmm? Are you going? In Tommy's case, the muscle strength itself is skilled, and I don't think it's a problem because I do blacksmiths every day. Afterwards, endurance and agility, experience fighting? Right, why don't we start by running every day?

Ask, Toya, you guys try to run quite a distance before breakfast almost every day except on rainy days.

Since Mr. Hulka's policy is to 'survive anyway', do you think he focuses more on those fleeing than on the technology to kill his enemies?

"Especially since I've never run away before! Ha ha."

"Uh, does that mean you guys are strong, Toya?

I asked Toya, who laughs cheerfully, but what returned was a slightly unexpected answer.

"No, it's not. Just stay away from potentially dangerous objects. Best not to be in a getaway situation, huh? Always only fight underground. If you say so, you're a weak one."

"Ha... And you still make a lot of money, don't you?

You're Toya, who used outrageous expressions, but you're making money making it safe with that, so there's nothing wrong with that, is there? Maybe that's Mr Hulka's policy.

If you simply think about safety, it would be nice to have jobs and herb collection all over the city, but that alone will only get you enough wages to manage to live.

I didn't make a lot of money, but you're still good for the first job I got.

Still, if you're staying at this inn, it's hard to find equipment.

By contrast, Toya, you've been staying at this inn since the beginning, digging up your gear nicely, doing adventurers...

"What do you think? I'm not in trouble with the money right now... but of course it was tough at first, huh? My first weapon, it's just a stick, okay?

"Oh, really?

Just a stick? You sure about that?

You stood up to the demon with a stick? What kind of challenger is that?

"Oh. I don't know because I couldn't afford a decent weapon. Think those days were the most dangerous?... No, isn't it? Whatever you say, Hulka takes quite a safety margin and acts."

Come to think of it, everyone only has 10 large silver coins in their first possession.

In my case, Mr. Hulka lent me the money, but Toya, naturally, you didn't have anyone like that.

I think Mr. Hulka's arm is amazing when he managed to do it and stabilize his life immediately.

"There are parts of me that are a little too cautious, but that's why I'm doing so well..."

"I'm not in danger," he said?

"... no, it's not zero. Sometimes I fought strong enemies. Perhaps the most life-threatening part of us was Nao?

"Really?

"Oh. I'm the one standing in front of you, but you're characteristically sturdy, aren't you? In contrast, Nao is an elf. I'm supposed to be the type of character who uses magic in the back, but for once, he's a man, and when the Hulkas are in danger, he puts his body up."

If you only compare the sturdiness of your body, Mr. Natsuki or Yuki are probably better than you, apparently. Racially.

Sounds like it was done with a broken arm then, but you think it would have been a pretty dangerous situation if the timing wasn't right?

I knew it wasn't an easy business, adventurer.

◇ ◇ ◇

Then I added running to my routine.

Running with much shorter limbs didn't look very good in the sense of a dota, but I had something to agree with in the opinion that 'running off is what counts', and I kept trying.

Sometimes, Toya, I see you guys, but that speed is out of step.

Even though it feels like it is running lightly, its pace is very fast and it is left light.

If it does make a difference so far, it's a complete leg wrap, right?

In the unlikely event that my legs are slow and I'm late for escape, it would be unacceptable from Mr. Hulka and the others.

As a first guide, 'If you can run the full marathon at the Olympic level, you'll be fine', but you're pretty lame. There's no way ordinary people can do that.

- I thought, Toya, you guys have plenty of room to fight even if you run on that level, so I can't even complain.

Efforts in parallel with building escape legs were made to improve fighting skills.

I chose Battlehammer as my weapon because I didn't take any offensive skills. I am a complete amateur, so my muscle strength and blacksmith skills seem to make some use of it.

Dwarf, so I was worried about which way to go with the axe, but my master told me, "Battlehammer is easier to handle than the axe," so I made up my mind here.

First of all, the battle hammer has the advantage that maintenance is almost unnecessary and durable.

If you wash and wipe it gently after you use it, that's fine, miss and beat the ground, but beat the rock but it won't break. And it also works on hard enemies.

I guess it's just right for me because I'm talking about just swinging by my powers, but if it's about goblins, it's fine.

Besides, most importantly, if you're a battlehammer, the best factor of choice is that your master told you that he would gently unravel it.

Since then, during his lunch break, he has taught his master how to handle battlehammers and has done so indispensably.

I'm doing it, but after some training, you actually want to fight it, don't you?

But I'm anxious to go alone.

So here we are, Toya, your house!

Looks like he moved out a few days ago and asked where he was before he pulled out of the inn...

"... isn't this too wide?

What was in the place they taught me was a huge lot.

Toya, you said, "It's a big land, so you'll figure it out soon," but it's true.

It is not comparable in size to the grounds of the surrounding houses, and even the houses built there look small compared to the land, even though they are large enough.

"You're not wrong here, are you? Can I come in?

The grounds are securely enclosed in a fence so as not to be at will, with a splendid gate at the entrance.

I can't open it because it's called "Kanju" from the inside, and there's no such thing as a call bell, so I can't call it.

No, the door itself is like an iron fence, so if you stick your hand in it, you seem to be able to open the candle... is that good?

Wouldn't that be trespassing?

Even entering the premises on its own would be Hee Rare if it were Japan, but in this case, there's something I can't complain about if they kill me if I'm bad at it, I'm afraid.

"If you break in on your own, you're a bandit, right? Then you can't help but get killed '. Seriously.

Well, actually, it can be a hassle if you kill me, so unless you're really going to rob me and break in with a weapon, it seems like you can do it with bad luck or about a major injury.

"I really don't know what to do..."

I wish you could keep the gate open or at least install a ring bell or so.

As I glanced through the gate blurring at such a thing, I saw a man waving his sword in the distance.

"Mr. Toya!

You can't miss this opportunity.

Grabbing the gate and shouting out loud, Toya, you seem to have noticed this way too, stopping your hand and approaching.

"Oh my God, isn't that Tommy? You're here to see me? Can we come in?

I smiled bitterly at you, Toya, who said such an easy-going thing while wiping sweat with her hands.

"You can't go in there when it's closed. There's no ringing bell. Wouldn't it bother you if people came to visit?

"Oh, sorry."

Toya, who took off the door and opened the gate, invited me to enter the premises.

As you can see from the gate, although a slightly horizontal splendid mansion is built on the front, the rest of the place is a slightly rough garden.

The outlook isn't very good either, so Toya might have been lucky enough to confirm your appearance.

"I don't have a lot of people coming to visit, but I need about a ring, do I?

"And I think. Or should I call you out loud at the gate?

"In fact, you're the only one who's been visiting the house."

The number of people I know is supposed to be at least higher than me, but if they suddenly become the kind of people who visit their homes, they don't have any.

But, well, is that what it is? This world, basically, it's just natural to work every day, 'go play at a friend's house' is an event, because it doesn't.

"So, Tommy, what can I do for you? Nothing. 'I'm here to see you' is fine, but it's usually work time, right?

"Yeah, let me rest this afternoon.... Um, please, can you hang out with me because I want to go on a goblin crusade?

"Goblin... I see you're wacky trying to go fishing"

"Yeah. Of course, other than that, there's something I'd like to be able to protect myself from."

Toya opens her mouth with a slightly pranky grin at me for saying so.

"But that's it. You said you were going out with him, but you were talking about essentially, escorting me, right? We don't have the advantage of killing goblins."

"Ugh... yeah, will it?

He points out that I'm awkward and out of sight.

You just wanted to go on a crusade, you looked into goblins beforehand.

What I found out was that killing goblins wouldn't be money.

Only demon stones are profitable, the price of which is only about Rs 250.

Whatever it was in the early days, I don't think Toya has any taste in you.

So what I'm saying is, 'I'm afraid to go alone, so hang out as an escort. In Roja' convenient story.

Normally, I'd be paying you a fee and sending out a request for an escort.

"You can't, I knew it"

"Right. If it's normal, pay for it. We're adventurers."

"That's right."

Even I feel bad when they say, 'Make a sword for free because you're my friend'.

If you think about it, you should still offer a reward, right? Yeah.

"Okay. Then..."

"That's good. I'm going out with you."

"Huh?"

"I'll hang out for free"

Toya repeated the words again to me, who did not understand what I was told.
