Today we headed back to the capital with a dead wolf on our back.
「 Haa, why do we have to leave the forest and find a wolf? 」
「 I thought that it be better to earn a bit more… 」
「 Right. My bad for complaining. Sorry. Man, I really want a magic bag now 」
I don’t know how much I can stuff in, but I’d like to get one of those magic bags that exist in this world.
Otherwise, I have to carry kilograms of carcasses every time we hunt.
That’s not funny.
「 Uhm, Daiki-sama…You mentioned that you have teleport skills before, are you not going to use them? 」
「 Oh? I forgot about that! 」
I totally forgot about my skills.
But, I can’t help it.
Skills never existed in my life so far.
When I tried to explore the range of movement of my teleport skills, I could only move a hundred meters.
Even so, it’s going to be pretty far for me now.
「 Sorry, I’ll get off with my skill 」
「 Yes, you can rest while waiting. I’ll catch up soon 」
Then, let’s teleport!
I used my teleport skill and approached my destination, the capital.
At this pace, I think I have to do it five more times.
It’s impossible to do it consecutively, so I can probably do it one more time.
「 Phew, I should’ve carried Euphy’s stuff too. Well, I guess I can’t 」
I can’t carry two dead wolves, they’ll crush me down.
I lowered the heavy corpse to the ground and sat down.
Behind me on the road, I see Euphy walking twice as fast toward me.
She just took a few minutes to catch up.
There’s nothing to do while waiting so I looked at the sky, which was starting to turn red, and the wheat fields, which were starting to bud, and think vaguely.
「 It’s a little chilly in Japan when spring was in sight, but it’s quite warm here… Well, I wonder how the company’s doing. If I continued to be absent without leave, I’ll get fired. I mean, my home. Even if rent and other expenses aren’t a problem for the time being with my money in the account. Well, it’s useless to think about it. I can’t go home for now, and I doubt that it really is for the time being 」
For some reason, thoughts I haven’t thought so far keep popping into my head.
「 Aah! It’s the bad tendency to let your thoughts drift that way. Oh right, I’m in a happy state right now where I can do what I want with a beautiful girl. I should just not worry about the company! 」
I have a beautiful girl who’s not just an idol level, but her beauty is unmatched.
And she’s a petite girl that you’ll never get your hands on in Japan.
Even if I were to lose everything in Japan, then I’ll choose Euphy.
Hmm, I guess I’ll live here now.
「 Yes, that’s right. I get to creampie such a cute girl. If this isn’t happiness, then what is? Isn’t this the best? Besides, I have the power Mira-chan gave me. This is easy. Oh right, I haven’t checked my skills yet. Well, there shouldn’t be any changes since I last saw it 」
As my thoughts were moving in a positive direction, I suddenly remembered that I never once checked my status using the guild crest.
I already learned the method so I’ll try doing it.
As I was curious about my abilities on the guild crest at the back of my hand, a tablet-sized square light appeared like a hologram appeared on the back of my hand.
「 This is magic, right? Isn’t this a bit too overtechnical? 」
This is more like science fiction than anything.
No matter how you look at it, this is a science-fiction scene.
Could it be that this world has nanotechnology?
Then, when it’s all destroyed, all that’s left is a system like this…
Hmm, that’s likely.
While I was fantasizing, I checked my status.
「 Hmm, oh, you can’t look at your stats like strength or speed? 」
Status only shows the name and skills possessed, and nothing else.
In my case, it says “Name: Kotori Daiki,” Teleport 1 (?????), and nothing else.
「 What’s this? Is this even normal? 」
It’s just my intuition but this doesn’t seem to be normal.
It bothers me a bit, but since other people can’t see it, I shouldn’t worry too much.
It’s probably because of ‘that’ anyway.
Still, it’s kind of sad that I only have one skill.
I want to earn money and gather more skills.
While I was thinking, Euphy closed in.
「 D-Daiki-sama! 」
She’s out of breath and looking puzzled for some reason.
「 What’s up? 」
「 What’s going on?! How did you teleport like that? 」
「 Hmm? Didn’t I tell you I have teleport? 」
「 Teleport isn’t a skill that invokes in an instant! 」
「 Really? 」
Seems like the tiny Goddess added some other features to my teleport skills.
I guess that’s what she meant.
「 I’m summoned, so maybe my skills are a bit different than most 」
「 That still won’t convince me. Ah, I just want to check, you’re not using it again on the street? 」
「 Ah, I think I can still do it about twice? Why? 」
「 It’s not legal to use teleport skills in the city. Depending on the case, if they know that you have a teleport skill, they’ll place restrictions on your movement, so it’s better to conceal it as much as possible 」
Well, I guess.
There’s a distance limit, but with these specs, as long as you’ve been in a place before, you can travel there, regardless of the walls and everything.
I stepped closer to thank Euphy for her concerned look and advice, then I realized something.
「 Oh yeah, I was in the audience with the King. Is that bad? 」
「 I believe the castle has some countermeasures against movement skills like teleport, so I think they’ll ignore you 」
「 Oh, I get it now. I guess I don’t have a problem then 」
If skills like this exist, then they have suicide attacks or something similar within predictions, so they should also have countermeasures.
「 Hmm, Let’s go back and take a rest. Euphy, do you need a break? 」
「 No problem. I can go home like this 」
Euphy seems to be lively, so she doesn’t need a break.
Entering the capital, we headed to the adventurer’s guild.
Going to the reception desk with spare energy, the dog-eared receptionist beckoned me.
「 I remember recommending foraging in the shallow side of the forest, why are you hunting beasts and monsters day after day? 」
The receptionist seems angry for some reason.
「 We can’t find the grass we’re looking for, so we went further in, and that’s where the fight breaks out 」
「 You can’t find the grass? She also said the same thing so I guess that wasn’t a lie 」
She looked at Euphy who was behind me, nodding, and she was convinced.
Hey, you assumed that I was lying if I was the only one saying it?
Screw you.
「 I don’t blame you, but you must not get careless. People lose their lives in that place so please take safety as your first priority 」
What the hell.
She’s just worried.
I’m sorry for cursing you in my mind.
After receiving today’s profit from the kind-hearted receptionist, we turned our attention to the store.
「 I’ll buy two pieces of swordsmanship, can I get a discount? 」
「 Eh, buying two of the same skill orbs? That’s rare. Are you going to use it for both of you? I don’t mind giving a bit of a discount, but are you sure? Don’t say that you don’t know about skill orbs after buying 」
「 Yes, I know about it and there’s no problem. How much? 」
「 Hmm, 1 gold coin for both of these will do. Unlike magic, these ones don’t sell as well 」
Oh, so that’s two silver coins discount.
That’s a generous discount.
「 Then, we’re going back to the inn after shopping, Euphy 」
Euphy, who was standing next to me, nodded, and we left the store.
She didn’t respond much, but when I looked at her, I found her face blushing and she was looking down.
Seems like she sensed the ulterior motive coming out.
She’s already imagining what’s next.
I put my hand on her shoulder and told her to enjoy the food today.
