Transported to a hyper-realistic RPG.
Episode 5 Event Occurred!
The finely crushed horn rabbit corners are put into a ring bowl (rubber) to make it finer, and even sharpened until they become powder with a ring wheel (rubber).
Gorgo, gorgo, gorgo, gorgo...
"It's about time you boiled.
Bukubuku and Ektel grass water that started to bubble. Lighten the fire and simmer until the water turns green.
"In the meantime, I'll make powder!
Gorgo, Gorgo, Gorgo, Gorgo, Gorgo!
In the corners of the powdered horn rabbit, the broth of the stewed ectel grass is filled with cloth while filtering.
"I feel a little watery... but are you okay?! And I'm taking it out here... and I'm really talking to myself. Is this also the fault of company animals...?
Certainly, some people talk to themselves more often because of stress. I've heard of...
Thinking about that, I took it out of the inventory...
[Slime carcasses... D-ranked, normal slime carcasses. It is made of creamy oily ingredients. It's odorless and harmless, but it doesn't help anything by itself.
"It says there's nothing useful, but it should work if you use it as a base for ointment!
Mix the carcasses of the slime with the mixture in the bowl. It's not good to mix it all at once, so add it one by one and check it with expert magic.
[Extra grass stew, horn rabbit horn powder, slime carcass mixture.
Something called...
"Oops?! They're coming! It's done!"
[Scratch medicine (ointment)... scratch medicine ointment type. The horn rabbit angle has slightly increased drug efficacy.
"Hyahhh!
I was delighted to jump, but I appreciated the absence of anyone later.
"It's done by packing it in a vase with a wide mouth... it's done! Hmm! You can do it!
In the world of Fanderges, even completely new items could be registered as new if they were not mistaken in principle.
As a result, processing and production flourished, but because it was difficult to get the materials in the first place, the game itself became obsolete. If it weren't for it, it would have sold more... it would've been a waste...
"Just... bring this in and it'll stand out... okay. Hide it in your inventory.
I was satisfied with my curiosity and was able to develop new items. Very satisfied.
"Do you want to make some more anyway... hmm?
I noticed something when I saw the carcass of the slime while using expert magic.
"This is..."
[Slime carcasses... D-ranked, normal slime carcasses. It is made of creamy oily ingredients. Tasteless, odorless, harmless. It serves as a substrate for ointment.
"The information has changed?!
This in itself is useless. It should have been, but it has changed to a sentence that it becomes a substrate.
"When the production goes well, the information changes...? When I was in the game... I didn't put much effort into making it in the first place, and I don't know... I don't think anyone knew the magic of appraisal...
It will be easier to understand, so you're happy?
Then, arrange the quantities appropriately and push them all into the inventory. I also make horn rabbit meat treatments and cookies that I plan to give to Niehis. It's been fun since the middle of the day, and I feel like I've made a lot too much...
"Alright, time to go home.
Once I'm satisfied, I leave the workshop and walk towards the inn on a path that's starting to get dark.
"Hmm? That's..."
A red-haired woman entering into the darkness.
"Ellie...?
Even if I have no resistance to women, I can't pretend not to look at women entering the dark. I don't see it as an NPC anymore, and given the three adventurers involved in the first incident, there is a good chance that it will be a bad incident.
"...... it's..."
"... right?
I can hear Ellie and someone talking from behind the darkness. Are you just talking to someone you know...? I guess I cared too much.
"Sinya?
"Huh?!
I was shocked to hear a voice from the side of the bright street. Looks like Puka found me and called.
"What are you doing?
"Uh... no. Nothing particularly. I wonder what's on this side.
"There's nothing there.
"That's right.
Grrrrr...
There's a noise coming from behind me when I turn around.
"... Ellie?
"Huh?!
When Puka and Ellie saw me, they looked surprised.
"What are you doing there...?
"... nothing.
"... I can't believe... it's dangerous again"
"It's none of your business!
"... Ellie..."
……
Ellie and I passed by Sylvie in a mood of silence. Mr Sylvie stares at it worryingly.
I don't know what it is, but is Ellie doing something bad...?
Pickup!
"Ooh?!
I was shocked by the sudden sound.
"What?! What?! What's the matter?!
"Oh, no. Nothing.
"Don't be surprised by the sudden strange voice.
"Sorry, sorry.
I broke up with Mr. Sylvie on the spot and walked towards the inn.
"I'm surprised you're suddenly coming out..."
There's a window in front of me.
It's like a game in the world of fandelge. One of them is the sound and windows that let you know when this event is happening.
Event Occurred! … Elise - solve the situation surrounding Nilhem.
Time limit… two weeks
Achievements… Elise - Solved with Nilhem alive
Reward… steel sword
Accept?
Yes, no.
"Why the hell is this game...?
In addition to games, the system of events is alive. Obviously, it floats from the current situation. Does this mean that someone who sent me here wants me to do something?
However, there is a choice not to accept. If you want me to do something, I will let you attend the event without telling you.
"What the hell's the point?
While thinking about it, extend your index finger to the window.
Pickup!
[Event accepted.
The letter appears and all windows disappear in a few seconds.
"I guess we'll have to do it now... but Elise Nilhem is about Ellie, right...? It's a very vague (ambiguous) way of saying that you should solve the situation around you, and I have no idea what to do.
Walk through your thoughts as you go to the inn.
"Mr. Sinya!
"You mean someone who was talking to that Ellie...?
"Mr. Sinya?
"Or another..."
"Shinya!!
"Wow?! Nihi-san?!
"I've called you so many times, it's terrible!
Puku, Nihis-chan's cheeks are swelling. I can heal you...
"Oh, sorry, sorry. Think about it a little. What's the matter with you?
"It's dangerous to walk while you're thinking.
Stand up before Nihis-chan points. If it stayed that way, it would have definitely bumped into him.
"Oh, thank you! Thank goodness.
Yeah!
"I'll give this to such a good boy again.
"Cookies?!
"You don't eat until after dinner.
"Yes! Thank you, Mr. Sinya!
Grab my hand and pull, Nihish. I'm glad to have a little sister.
"Besides, I was calling Ellie's name. What happened?
"Eh? Do you know Ellie, Nihis-chan?
"Yeah... I know because I was close to my mom.
…
Niehis has a dark face, not a smile.
It's not the face of a nine-year-old when he talks about someone he knows. I don't know how to call it sadness... a face that endures pain.
"Nihius."
"Dad?"
Under the dark purple sky stands Dumby, Nihith's father. Is the store good? I thought for a moment, but when I looked at the face, the question stayed behind my throat.
"Nihius, stay inside.
"Uh-huh.
Neither Tetotetsu nor Niehis goes inside for a short run.
"... don't talk about your mother... to Nihius.
"Eh...?
I overheard Mr Dumby's words.
"His mother... Terris... is dead.
Mr. Dumby looks as dark as Niehis. I didn't know there was such a past...
"That's right... It reminds me of something painful..."
"... it wasn't a normal way to die. That's why I don't want Nihius to remember.
"Normal... okay. Be careful.
I don't think this is the time to ask back. Let's nod honestly.
"Thank you."
Mr. Dumby turns his back and walks in.
"I don't know what happened..."
I know one thing.
If this world is in my game, Fanderge... it's the future world for at least nine years.
The reason for the idea is simple.
It was the city of Popol that stayed the longest since the beginning of Fandelj. I always came to this city after I had returned to death, and I spent a long time in this city until I got used to it.
At that time, one of the inns I used was this scent pavilion. I think the name of the store was different in the game, but maybe here.
At that time, the shop should have been emptied by a young couple. I hardly remember the NPC information, and it's only Juchu Hakku...
But when I heard her name, I remembered.
Terris. I remember that name. The first event that occurred since the foundation. Terris' customer service.
There was indeed a woman from the NPC who was walking around the city and suddenly called out to her. That's Terris. Long hair with a loose wave of green hair, it should have a gentle face with a fluffy impression. It's a dull memory...
I don't even remember what the event was all about, but it's all about the event! And I remember putting in a comic book all by myself.
If the woman had been Terris, Nihith would not have been there, and Terris would not have been pregnant.
The NPC didn't change its appearance, and even after leaving the city, it must have been doing the same thing as the NPC. This is just speculation...
At least Nihish hasn't been born in the two years I've been playing.
If so, Nihis-chan is nine years old, so it's been at least nine years. Considering the period of pregnant women, nearly ten years is the world of the future.
"Assuming there is only this world on the Vandergeld extension...
Besides, Mr. Dumby's story didn't mean that he should die in the usual way. The usual way of dying in this world... the usual way of dying is sick, accidental, and then attacked by monsters...
Conversely, if it turns out to be unusual, other killings? It's not as safe as Japan, and I don't think it's that unusual.... "
Concon...
When I lay down in bed thinking about it, I get knocked on the door.
Yes!
"It's Nihius!
"Niehis?
When I opened the door, Nihis-chan stood smiling.
"What's wrong? Cookies?"
"I'm not that hungry!
"Ha ha ha. Sorry, sorry."
"Um... I just wanted to talk to Sinya-san..."
"Okay, but... you want to go downstairs?
"No, I'm not going down there!
Niehis slipped under the arm that was opening the door and walked into the room.
Ah.
Ehehe.
"Absolutely... just a little.
"Yes! Thank you!
"So, what do you want me to ask you?
"... yeah.
Suddenly, Niehis looks dark again.
"... just talk to me slowly.
"Yeah... my mom's story..."
I just made a promise to Dumby...
"You told your father not to talk about it, didn't you?
Huh?
"Dad doesn't talk much, but when you look at him, it's time to talk about his mother..."
……
"I heard it was when I was four. I don't remember very well... but I do remember that your mother was kind.
I see...
"Your mother... was murdered..."
Grip the hem of your skirt tightly, Niehis.
"Killed...?
"I don't know much about it either... but that's what Ellie told me..."
"Mr. Ellie? Why is that name..."
"... Ellie's sister. Sally... was killed at the same time..."
……
"If Ellie is in trouble, I need your help.
"... Nihis-chan is so kind.
When I stroke your head, Nihis-chan looks up at me with a jittery face.
Only nine years old, I understand that my spice and Ellie's spice are the same, and there are not many children who can ask me to help Ellie, not myself. No, it won't be easy for adults either.
"But why me? What kind of Rank D runaway adventurer am I?
"Hmm... I don't know! But I thought Shinya would take care of it!
"I don't see any basis..."
Asking a nine-year-old girl for it won't give me the answer.
"I'll try my best. Is that all right?
"Yes! Thank you!
"No."
"One more thing..."
"What do you got?
"Um... can I call you oniichan...?
The line was echoed in me. Cumming, cumming! That was it, wasn't it? I wonder if this is what kindness looks like.
"That's good.
"I did it! Thank you, Sinya!
"Bfuuu?! Excellent destruction!!
"No, I'm talking about this. Besides, it's about time your father worried. You should go back.
"Yeah! See you tomorrow!
"Good night."
"Good night!
Niehis is leaving the room. Hmm. That Dumby has such a lovely daughter... that it's her mother's blood. Definitely.
"Still, when Terris told me Ellie's name came up... and Sally was killed... at the same time...
I'll check it out tomorrow.
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah.
"Even if I say I'll look into it, there's no way to look into it..."
The next day started and I got stuck early.
I'd like to talk to Ellie, but I don't know where she is, and I'm an outsider who just got here. There are not many people who can easily find out the information.
I had no choice but to roar, so I was carrying my legs to the dark green forest to digest the quest in order to do what I could. We are going to dismantle a few horn rabbits and deliver two today to complete delivery.
Mr. Sylvie may be angry again, but I'd like to prioritize your request.
"At the very least, we have to waste time before we go..."
"... that's it!
"... I guess.
"Did you hear something...?
I feel like I heard people talking from behind the dark green forest.
As you walk between the trees to avoid making noise, you can see the shadows.
"You can't forgive me for stopping now!
"Well, even if you say so..."
Ellie is in the woods discussing it. And the man who got involved with me at the Adventurers Guild.
"We can't do this alone... at least a few more..."
"Enough! I'll do it alone!
"Hey, Ellie!
"Shut up! There's no need for cowards!
"Hey, hey! Wait!"
Ellie headed out of the woods with an angry face and a man chasing after it. It looks like something was rubbing on it, but as far as I can see, it doesn't seem to have anything to do with the relationship that I was involved in.
"I think he's trying to do something..."
Outside the woods, you can't look out or get behind. Let's ask people who might know about this place.
"Er... Shinya-kun. Yesterday's story. Did you hear that?
"... yes..."
"So why are you bringing two?!
When I was walking while thinking, I forgot about the time and came to deliver it.
Why is Mr. Sylvie here? and angry. That's the situation.
"Ugh... sorry..."
"... hah... if you look like that, you won't be able to say anything... okay. I'll take care of it.
"Huh?!
"You don't want to stand out, do you? Fortunately, nobody but us is here right now, and I'll manage.
"Mr. Sylvie..."
"Let me borrow it, right?
"Thank you!"
Good man, Mr. Sylvie.
"I'll give you the reward again. Until then, be quiet!
"Thank you so much!
I waved at Silby with a stupid face and left the guild behind.
"Alright, let's go ask him!
There are only a limited number of people who can listen. After stopping by the workshop, you run through the city.
"Hey, Lucas! Bakkal!"
"Hmm? Sinya?
The two of us who are the gatekeepers of this city came to see me. Lucas won't even respond... but Baccalaur will respond with ease.
"Good work, doorman!
"Whoa! What's going on today?
"I need to ask you something... before you do that!
"Oh?! Is that horn rabbit meat?!
"I just baked it in the workshop and seasoned it. It's tasty, but I was wondering if it would be better for a tired body at the gate.
I stopped by the workshop and packed it in a bag.
"Will you?!
"I'm not thinking of listening to you without paying for it.
"Whoa!
Once you receive the bag I gave you, open it and pick the contents.
"Baccal! Pick and eat while on duty!
If Lucas thinks he's finally talking, he scolds Baccal. Seems as serious as ever.
"Uhhh! What the hell?!
"It's a special seasoning made by Shinya. That said, I only put salt and a little fragrance on it. I'll do the whole bag.
"Seriously?! I have one of these, but is it okay?!
"Let's split up.
"I'm telling you!
"While on duty... grumbling... picking... grumbling..."
Can't you stop the yodale? Lucas.
"If you say that, I'll eat it all. It smells good when I'm hungry!
"Wait, wait! Half of it's mine!
"Uhhh! Freshly baked is the best! The gravy's gonna pop out!
"Kh..."
"If it gets cold, the taste will go down... it's pathetic that Lucas can't experience this delicacy.
"... come, take a break! We're taking a break now!
"You just took a break, right?
"Shut up!
All right, Lucas, you're done.
"All right, all right! Don't rush me!
I cut out the story where they were satisfied.
"So, I'd like to ask you something.
"Oops! Ask me anything!
"Ellie and the adventurer man were talking in the deep green forest earlier. The one who got involved with me on the first day.
It's Dojil. It's not so uncommon for those two to argue. We've been friends for a long time.
"You're not close?
"Dojill sees Elise as a rival. I'm always arguing with Ellis because I'm involved in something.
……
"What's wrong?
"No, I didn't feel that way when I saw it in the woods. Something's going on between us..."
"Those two...?
"... maybe it has something to do with that.
"Ah...."
"Is that it?
"It was the case that made us the gatekeepers and the fences that surrounded the city.
"What happened?
"... that was terrible. Some of you actually saw the scene, but you won't forget it. Lucas was there, wasn't he?
"Ah, even now I remember, my intestines are still boiling back. If I could come back at that time, I'd face it if I were dead.
A rather unpleasant memory, Lucas, holding his fist tightly.
"... what happened?
"... that was just about five years ago.
Lucas talked a bit about my question.
