Transported to a hyper-realistic RPG.
Episode 2 Starting City
"Hey, Baccal!
A serious warrior yells at a chatty man.
"You call yourself a buccal!
"Kukukuku... that's right. I'm Baccal. Nice to meet you.
Oops!
"This is Lucas! You look like shit. Serious guy, but good guy! Nice to meet you!"
Baccal puts his arm on the shoulder of a serious warrior and laughs.
"Don't give yourself up!
Lucas raised his eyebrows and shook away Baccal's arm.
"He's really serious! Greetings, Lucas!
"Mhh...."
Lucas turns his back when he doesn't talk as he wants.
"I've never heard of us in Watanabe before! Whatever it is, just call me!
On the contrary, Baccal is quite familiar. I'm glad I don't know what's going on.
"Thank you! See you later!
It is natural that the player does not ask for the NPC's name. Even if you don't ask, your name will appear above your head, and no player asks NPC that in the first place.
But there's no such systematic thing in front of me right now. I don't know unless I hear it right.
"Baccalaureate, Lucas... I have to remember..."
The city of Popol is full of streets, but it's not as busy as it gets.
The first thing to do in this city is register with the Adventurers Guild and order quests. After completing several quests and saving up your money, you'll move on to the next city. This area is no different from other RPGs.
As long as my inventory and status hasn't changed, it doesn't matter if I leave the city now or soon. But even if it was a dream, I put it in the fundelge. I want to enjoy it.
Besides, I don't know if the status has really changed, and the two gatekeepers are hooked.
Because it was only a game, there was no concept of talking to NPC. They didn't answer, they just passed on the necessary information. But the two gatekeepers were answering. In other words, NPC is not NPC in this world...
I would like to stay in the city to get some information about the world.
It was a dream when I woke up in bed… I wish I could, but if I really had to live in this world, the risk of neglecting this confirmation would be too great.
And... somewhere I believed this world wasn't a dream anymore. Maybe I won't be able to go back to Japan again...
"First of all, the Adventurers Guild... how does it look to register for Sinya in the first place...?
Hmm... let's go.
Go to the Adventurer Alliance in the corner of your memory.
It is a large building in the city, naturally wooden architecture.
"I miss it. This is where it started.
"Hey, I'm in the way.
Huh?
Looking back, I could see red hair around my chest height.
A woman with her hair tied up on the back of her head, her pale red eyes give the image of being tight.
Two simple daggers hanging on the waist, clothing and leather protective equipment with a small overall cloth area. I have a big chest, so I don't like the way I look.
"Are you listening?
"Huh?! Oh, I'm sorry!
A red-haired woman looks at me sideways and enters the Adventurer's Guild entrance.
"After all, women... are scary..."
It's hard to get close to me without immunity to women.
All right. Let's keep it as close as we can.
"Sorry to bother you...."
When you open the door, there are three sets of chairs on a round wooden table. Three adventurous men sat on one, and the red-haired woman was at the counter earlier.
There are two women at the counter: a long, twisted, brown woman who supports red-haired women, and a woman with bright blue hair who stands nicely next to her and stretches her shoulders.
Patan.....
"Let's wait a little longer.
I decided to close the door and wait without entering. When I go now, I have to stand next to that red-haired woman. I don't... like that. There's only a few meters of space for women. I'll definitely die.
Gacha...
Um...
"Hmm?!
"Hyah?!
The receptionist with blue hair opened the door. You are surprised by my surprised voice.
"Ah! I'm sorry! You're in my way!
I didn't expect to get in and out twice in such a short time...
"Ah! No! That's not it... I was looking at your face a while ago, so I was wondering if there was anything I could do...
Ah...
Was he watching...
"I was wondering if I could register as an adventurer... or wait here because I had a visitor..."
"Visitors... are you referring to Ellie?
"I don't know the name, but the redhead..."
"There are two receptionists, so I can ask you right away.
You're right! I can't stand being thrown into that space! I can't tell you...
I was a company animal, and I couldn't talk because I was a woman, so I didn't have zero communication skills. I can talk normally... and I have to go...
"Um... now... please..."
Yes!
A blue-haired woman who responds with a playable smile.
If this happens, we have to go! Never enter an Alliance with intent.
"This way, please.
"Yes, yes.
Red-haired woman... Ellie looks at me in the eye and then turns to me straight back.
Normal heart... me!
"Again, my name is Puka.
"Thank you for being polite. My name is Sinya.
"You must be Shinya-sama. Please fill in the required fields here.
"Ah, yes.
The handed over form is written in kanji with the name, age, etc. I'm glad it's not illegible....
Fill out the form and give it to Puka.
"Is this all right?
"Yes, thank you. Please wait a moment.
"I see.
Puka walks into the back with the paper.
There's no need to register Watanabe.
Three men sitting on chairs. One of them mutters so that I can hear him.
"They don't seem to be able to make simple requests anyway. It's no use registering.
It is better not to get involved in this kind of thing. Ignoring it is not important. I don't know my current condition, and I don't like rough things in the first place.
When you decide to ignore it completely, one person stands up and approaches you and wonders if you didn't like it.
"I'm talking about you!
My right hand is about to move in response to the hand that tried to grab my chest. If my status stays the same as when I logged out yesterday, I could kill him as easily as I did with just a little effort. That is the extent to which you have mistakenly applied force. Whether it was good or bad, the status of the character Sinya was so high.
This kind of care was not necessary because the NPC could not be hurt unless attacked in the game. But a game that kills NPCs when attacked. In other words, now that you're in there, if you do something bad, you're more likely to kill these people.
"Are you listening to me!?
Gah!
My chest is caught, but it doesn't hurt.
When I think calmly about the defenses... there's a voice coming from behind.
"It's time to stop.
"Ah?! Ellie! You got his shoulder?! You hated Watanabe, too!
"What are you doing?! Violence is strictly forbidden within the Alliance!
Mr Puka is in a hurry to stop me.
"... shit.
Grabbing his chest violently, the man releases his hand and returns to where he was.
"Are you okay?!
"Ah, yes. I'm fine. I apologize for the inconvenience.
"Huh?! No! Sinja hasn't done anything!!
"Huh? Uh... this is what happened because of me. And, Ellie... was that you? Thank you very much.
Great! You can talk normally if you have a business conversation! A toast to the herd's guts!
…………
Ellie takes me seriously.
"Nothing.
Looks like he's about to say something, but he's leaving the guild with his heel back.
"I'm sorry! She's a good kid..."
A woman with long neck and brown hair next to Puka calls out.
"Sylvie. You always say, don't you? You can't talk like that.
"Ah... I'm sorry!
When Puka scolds him, he returns an unreflected reaction. A woman with brown hair.
"Never mind. It's okay if you speak comfortably.
"Really?! Then...."
"Sylvie.
"Ugh..."
Even Shinya-sama. Adventurers don't have to use too much respect. Because it will be seen lightly.
"Huh?! I see... is that so?
"There are a lot of rough people.
"Oh... I see. Thanks for the advice. Be careful.
"Yes, this is Sinya's Adventurer Registration Certificate.
Heh... This is what the registration card looked like.
The small card can be lowered from the neck. I didn't know it because it was in the inventory as a simple card in the game.
"Have you seen it?
"Huh?! Ah... Mr. Ellie! Ellie just put it on the counter!
"Sure, Ellie didn't hang from her neck. I don't think it can be used by others, and it won't be stolen, but if it is lost, it will cost you money to reissue it, so please be careful.
"Okay.
"Please be careful not to lose your ID card by posting it when you enter the city.
"Thank you."
Remove the Adventurer Registration Certificate from your neck.
"How do I use the Adventurer Alliance or learn about quests?
"Please.
"Now, there's a quest, or request, posted on the board that you can see over there.
Puka's hand showed a bulletin board that ran against the lobby wall. There is some paper on it.
"There are three main types of quests. Collection quest to collect medicinal herbs, etc.
Crusade quests to crush monsters, collect materials, defeat, and more.
And other quests such as escorts and luggage delivery.
Hmm.
Of course, I am familiar with it, but I will pretend not to know it.
"Each Quest has its own difficulty, and D is the easiest Quest. C, B, A, S, SS and the difficulty increases as the rank increases.
"Does the adventurer have a rank?
"You're right. Adventurers begin with a D rank, which is a mechanism that increases their rank based on their track record. You have the same level of difficulty as yourself.
I see. It's a mechanism that raises your rank if you do a lot of requests.
"Yes, I can get a higher rank, but look at my strengths... No one asks for a higher rank.
Hmm.
"Bring the request form from the bulletin board to receive the request, and we in the guild will handle it.
Upon completion of a request, the Alliance will pay the Success Reward written on the request.
"What if I fail?
"Simply put, it's a fine. Depending on the content, you may be demoted.
"To prevent deliberate failure...?
"Yes."
"I see. Very well. Thank you."
"Fufu. You're welcome."
Puka laughs with her hands on her mouth. Did I do something strange again?
"Adventurers don't thank much. I'm glad Puka thanked me so many times.
"Si, Sylvie!
Puka looks at Sylvie a little shy.
I didn't care because I took it for granted in Japan...
"Because it's true.
"Was it bad?
"That's not true! We're so happy!
I see. Good, then.
What kind of request would you like at first?
"It's my first quest, and I think I'd like to take a sampling quest.
"The one who gets medicinal herbs and stuff.
"Yes, the quest has a separate classification from the content. Constant quests where there is always demand, such as herbal harvesting, and rewards are paid according to the number of harvests taken.
Emergency quests that are urgent and require quick response.
Normal quests that are neither urgent nor permanent. This is the most frequent request.
Special quests with special conditions.
Nomination quests to nominate and request individuals and parties.
They are divided into these five categories.
"For me who's just started, it doesn't seem to have anything to do with anything other than regular quests.
"The higher you rank, the more quests you will receive, the more relevant you will be immediately.
"I see... yeah. I'll think about it. Thank you... ah.
"Fufu. You're welcome."
I'm a little embarrassed.
"Sinya is a good boy. Sylvie, your sister loves it!
"Hey! Silby!"
"Because it's true! Ah, yes! I'll pick your first quest! Er..."
"Already! Sylvie!
Mr. Sylvie seems to be quite a rough woman.
Without listening to Mr. Puka, he walked into the bulletin board with a star.
"It's good, it's good! Yes, this is good!
"Sorry! Dear Sinya!"
"No, I don't understand, thank you.
Sylvie brings in a favor on her own, and Puka bows her head and apologizes. Very contrasting two.
"Come on.
"Come on. Isn't that it?
They seem to be quite close.
"Er... Extra grass harvesting. At least ten.
"Ectel grass is a wound medicine! Applying it to a light scratch will help you heal faster!
"Gohong!... Sylvie's attitude is not good, but I think it would be reasonable (or reasonable) to pick Xtel grass, which is also a constant quest. At least ten bottles, but if you deliver more, your reward will be increased.
"Alright, let's do this if you two recommend it!
Yes!
"Ah! Hey! Silby!"
Mr. Sylvie is picking up the request form from my hand.
"I'll do it!
"It's my job, right?!
"What? Maybe Puka liked it too?
"Nah, what are you talking about!
"It's turning bright red! Cute!"
"Silby! I'm mad at you!
"Yes! We're good to go!
"Ah, Sylvie!
"Fast winner!
I feel like I'm caught between two worlds...
"Ahahah...."
It may be hard to get to the two women's talks. No, it's too high for me. We need to improve our communication ranks before we challenge...
"I'm coming!
Leave the guild after escaping from a shithole like a rabbit.
"Ah, Shinya-kun! Don't give it to me when you're done!
"Cut it out! Silby!"
It doesn't respond to voices coming from behind.
I didn't expect to suddenly encounter the most difficult SS rank entanglement....
"I can't do it with Rank D!
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah.
When I left the guild, I left town and headed south.
This is where I took care of Fandelj in many ways from the beginning. Here, I learned all the basics and fights.
It is also the most deaths in the history of my Fandelj.
A vast forest full of thick and large broad-leaved trees. Common name: Deep green forest.
The dark green forest is roughly circular and is divided into three large layers. The outer layer is less aggressive and less likely to fight.
There are many belligerent monsters, middle-class who cannot avoid battle.
The belligerent and fierce monsters roam the inner layer.
In other words, monsters become militant and stronger as they head towards the center of the forest.
Extra grass is harvested on the outer layer of the deep green forest.
There are few fights against monsters, but they are not absolutely nonexistent. There are monsters themselves, and if you're unlucky, you'll be in battle.
"Ooh! Long time no see!... no. I can't remember going back to death....."
Shake your head sideways and blow up your bad memories.
"Let's get back to it!
The inventory was undoubtedly intact, and if I open it, I have enough Xtel grass to rot. It was a request that would be finished if it was properly submitted, but it was getting a little more fun.
The world of Vandergeld. Once again, you can experience the world from the very beginning. It's not bad to go slow in the mood of returning to a beginner.
"That said, I'm the one who's going to use what I can..."
Moving your fingertips and drawing a magic formation activates Appraisal Magic. Convenient magic for appraising what enters your eyes. It consumes less magic and is quite user-friendly. It's magic that appraised the god balls.
"That said, there was that God Ball in the inventory.
Open the inventory and take out the pale god balls to see, but the appraisal results remain unchanged. The same words are just written in the window that appears.
"What the hell is this...?
It was a dungeon of the highest difficulty, and I think it's valuable... okay. I don't know.
I don't think this is the time right now. Return the Magic Ball to the inventory and return to herbal harvesting.
"I see that you've grown quite a bit of Ectel grass.
I can see a lot of words in my vision: "Ectella grass."
"Speaking of which, I've never appraised Ectella grass before..."
I cut it from the root with a knife and looked closer.
[Ectella grass... the plant that is the source of the wound medicine. Effective on light scratches. It is effective even if it is crushed and applied as is, but when it is simmered and applied to an ointment, a higher effect is obtained. If I eat it, I get attacked by nausea.
"Hmm. Does it work even if I apply it? Besides, the ointment... the ectel grass was basically a wet cloth (plump) method that makes the broth suck into the cloth...
Or was it a plant that you shouldn't eat? I'm glad I didn't eat without knowing... "
Explore thoughts while harvesting Ectel grass.
"Ointment... ointment..."
Buzz... buzz...
"It must have been based on the oily white petrolatum..."
Buzz... buzz...
"Vaseline was made from oil. There's no way I can make something like that....."
Buzz... buzz...
"If I had something like that, I might be able to make ointments..."
Buzz... buzz...
"Huh?! Too much!
When I was thinking about it, I was harvesting salmon and ectel grass.
"Here, let's get this over with.
Shit...
A noise shakes the nearby grass.
Remove the sword from your hips and stand facing the swaying grass.
Shit! Shit!
The grass was divided into pulled creatures about the size of bowling balls. A familiar form in RPG. A clear light blue monster, slime.
Slime...
Monsters in this world have the same rank as clients and adventurers.
Slime is ranked D, but not the weakest monster. The nucleus is a weakness that can be defeated by destroying the nucleus, but magic is not effective. This monster, which can be deformed into any shape and can absorb and digest anything, falls into the strongest category in the D rank.
