Transition to Another World, Landmines Included

"This... is the jewel of Grace"

"Do you understand?

"Yes. This is still me, Chief Cleric, isn't it?

After a brief meeting with Mr. Diola on the request, it is only natural that we have come to the temple of Lord Advastris with the jewel of grace.

Seeing that jewel, it was the clergyman, Mr. Ishka, who broke it down lightly.

I don't know what Mr. Ishka is, he's a friendly guy, and I've never seen anything very clerical before, but it wasn't Dada who named him chief cleric.

"Is it an easy thing to figure out just by looking at it?

"Well, it may still be difficult for our people, but if you're about a clergyman, quite. It's hard when people ask me why I know."

Uh-huh, then from now on, if you find a jewel in this shape, maybe you should bring it here before you bring it into the guild.

I won't be waiting for more than a month.

"So can you also look into the effects of this treasure?

"Yes. Anyone who's chief cleric, not if it's me. Shall we look into it?

To my inquiry, Mr. Ishka nods flatly.

I was talking about only high-ranking clerics being able to do it, but should I say just that?

"I'd love to ask you, how much...?

"Right, usually more than 10 gold coins...... do you need an appraisal certificate?

"Appraisal card?

"Yes, it proves what kind of jewel it is. It's mandatory when you sell it. However, when it is issued, it is required to report to the upper temple, so it is inevitable..."

Mr. Ishka, whose words are not cloudy and clear, perhaps the bouquet he paid will flow to you at the same time.

If, on the contrary, we don't issue appraisal cards, are you saying that all the bullshit we pay can be used for this temple - the orphanage even with Yan "hi"?

Looking back at the Hulkas as I consulted them, Hulka nodded lightly and took about 10 pieces of gold out of her purse and offered it to Mr. Ishka.

"No appraisal, please"

"Thank you"

To the words of Haruka, Mr. Ishka laughed nicely and received the prayer.

The amount I paid is such that I can get an appraisal card, but if I'm going to pay it anyway, I'd rather use it for the orphanage here than be sucked up somewhere I don't know.

In the course of several visits, there are many friendly children.

We plan to use it ourselves anyway, so an appraisal certificate is such a useless long thing.

If it's something we can't use and we're going to sell it, we're going to need an appraisal card... then that's when.

I don't even think you can sell the gift jewels that you can't use in the first place.

"Okay, I'll take care of it"

When Mr. Ishka received the treasure from me, he put it on the altar of the temple with a compliment.

And before that, I knelt, and began to pray.

After a while as it was, there was no particular phenomenon, and Mr. Ishka stood up after prayer, taking up the treasure and returning it to me.

I wasn't expecting any mystical effects, but they are very plain.

But they were still able to determine the effect properly.

"This jewel seems to add strength"

"Power...?

"Yes. Attack, muscle strength, that's the way it is."

The decision had been made, but it was more vague than expected.

I thought spa would get a 'you get swordsmanship skills' answer...... no, people in this world can't confirm their status, and they don't recognize their skills, so that's what it is?

I didn't seem to be the only one who had that question, and Natsuki asks with a slightly troubled look.

"Um, don't you know exactly what 'here' is? I was praying earlier, how do you know?

"Right, this is hard to convey in words, too, but it feels like an image comes to mind. Easy-to-understand objects - for example, being able to handle swords, etc. - are easy, but some things are difficult to understand. This time things are still easy to understand."

"Really..."

No, well, if you think about it, naturally it's ambiguous?

Skills don't make it possible to say something '10 points more aggressive'.

Even if they say so, we're also like, "Ha, really?" I can only respond.

I can't even figure out how many points my offense is, so I don't even know what '10 points' is worth. 10 points is huge if you only have 10 attack power, but if it is 10,000, it is an error.

"Okay. At least it's not detrimental to use, is it?

"Yes, that's okay"

Don't worry if you ask.

The first time I dodged a mine, it wouldn't be stylish to step on it in a place like this.

"Thank you"

"No. Bring it anytime. Especially if you don't need an appraisal certificate."

That's what Mr. Ishka said, smiling a little pranky.

◇ ◇ ◇

"What do you think? What skills - no, skills in the first place..."

"Muscle strength, aggression...... [muscle boost] or something?

"Or, as Nao says, maybe it's not a skill? I don't see the talent level in the stats, but maybe STR Strenx will go up in the game."

Back home from the temple, we had placed the bounty "Gifts" jewel on the dining room table and discussed its use.

I appreciate the increase in Attack but when it comes to the most effective use...... should I use it for Toya to increase my Max Attack?

I also feel it would be nice to use them in order if they were to be found frequently, but only one was found diving the dungeon to the 20th floor.

Besides, it's hard to decide easily because the effects vary depending on the jewel of grace.

"The question is, who's going to use it?"

When I said that and looked around at the Hulkas, for some reason, all the hulkas gazed at me.

... Oh?

"No, if you're going to gain muscle strength, shouldn't Nao use it? You've been losing to me lately, haven't you? I guess."

"Ugh!"

I'm stuck in words, Yuki, telling the truth.

Yes, it is.

Despite the same training and the same level, my muscle strength these days is second from the bottom. Other than Hulka, there are strong signs of losing.

When you play mock wars with Yuki and the others, you push and lose......

By the beginning, at least it shouldn't have made nearly any difference to Natsuki or Yuki.

Is this the kind of guy that's called a race trait?

I guess it's not weird because you can win in terms of magic...

"Surely, Nao, you've become powerless. You weren't like me before."

That was when I was in Japan.

Now I'm not even willing to compare it to Toya. He doesn't even look like such a macho, but he's being stupid, so he is.

Even when you're not strengthening yourself with magic, you're like, 'Why are you so powerful?' It feels like, 'but even I'm weak and thin within the party, it's not comparable to me when I was in Japan, so it would be useless to just think about it.

"But there are ways to strengthen Toya with high muscle strength, aren't there?

"No, because in my case, it goes up normally"

"Hulka--"

"Exactly, it's a bit more powerful to say than Nao..."

Harka shook her head with a bitter smile as she turned her gaze to me.

- Well, just the most impotent thing is my mental damage a little.

For once, as a man.

If you are bad, you may soon be pulled out by Mary or Meatier.

No, it's not about 'when you suck', if you grow up well, sure, right?

Meatier is still such a toddler wack...... even though there are race differences, losing it is just tight.

High school students losing arm wrestling to elementary school students...... no, is it time for college students at their age?

- Ugh, maybe I should earnestly level up my [muscle enhancement] skills.

But, nevertheless, with a lot of original muscle strength, it would be advantageous.

"Well, can I use it?

"Yes."

Make sure everyone snorts, and I'll take the bounty "Gift" jewel.

Sure, you could use some magic, couldn't you?

- Can this be used by people unfamiliar with the treatment of magic?

With such doubts, magic is poured into the jewel of grace with both hands.

"Strength has risen"

"Whoa! I could use it, it seems...?

At the same time that I heard such a voice, the treasure in my hand fluttered and faded away.

"Looks like it. There's nothing left... Is it easy to understand? I can prevent fraud."

"Maybe it's certainly good that empty jewels don't exist"

There would be a way to make very similar jewels, but that would cost a lot, and you wouldn't be able to fool them easily.

By the way, I learned later that the appraisal cards issued by the Temple come with the wonder function of disappearing together when the jewels are used, so I can't use them to scam them.

"So what's the difference?

"No, just figure it out. I just heard voices."

"Voice? Whose?

Normally, he sucks at 'hearing voices' or something, but it's a phenomenon that could be in this world.

Nor did Toya have a particularly strange look on her face, and she normally listened back.

"At least it wasn't Master Advastris."

I ask "every time" for EXP confirmation, so I don't exactly mishear it.

Master Advastris has a voice like a boy, but this time he felt a little feminine.

"I hear voices, right? Is this, after all, made by God?

"Aren't you? Whatever else comes out of the crate, you can't make this with alchemy, can you?

"If I could make it, I'd be a real cheat."

"The most powerful legend of the alchemist begins."

Yuki said that while shaking her head with a slightly unfortunate look like she was in a bit of trouble.

If I could make it, it would be very convenient, but the world wouldn't be sweet enough to allow that.

"It's also possible that it's not God... I want it to be God"

"I don't know if he's here, but the devil or something? If you use it like that, you'll be doomed, won't you?

No, me, I just used it?

It's something that a cleric can appraise, and it seems to be used normally, so I think it's okay.

"If you're a Christian demon, wouldn't you be okay? Just because Christianity says it's the devil, it's basically God."

It's not the same as Japan, which even God localizes.

Japan's Seven Fukushi gods vary from real people to destructive gods.

Deep nostalgia, or no moderation? As far as I'm concerned, if that doesn't make any futile strife go away, I think so. Watching religious warfare.

"Well, you are. If Japan had been conquered by Christianity, would Heavenly Lights have become a demon?"

"What do you think? In the case of Japan, there is also a relationship with the Emperor… I can't say that there is none."

"We'd appreciate it if this world wasn't religiously harsh, wouldn't we? Sounds loose enough for a normally-faithful Advastris to call himself 'Evil God' or something?

"Conversely, there is a direct heavenly punishment... but it's none of our business. Let's continue to live with integrity more often."

"" "Sassy" "

By the way, the effect of the bounty "Gifts" jewels, but a mock fight later could confirm that it worked, even if it could not be described as dramatic.

Since Yuki can't beat me, I feel a little subtle, but I don't feel that I was able to apply some facial expression.

Well, it's only a trivial thing, you know.
