Most of the problems I feel are things that can be solved with money.
The only question is what to do with taxes. But, if they’re going to charge me, I’ll just pay up.
Now that we know we don’t have to worry about money for the time being, what’s next?
Yeah, I have to think about the next time I’m back.
The best I can think of right now is that I want something that’ll be useful in my life there.
Yeah, there are a few items I want, especially household items.
But, that’s for tomorrow.
The rhythm of my life in the other world had been to stay still once the sun goes down and I don’t have the energy to do stuff.
Besides, I went to the dungeon this morning and conquered it.
I was so excited to be back in Japan that I felt empowered, but it was actually quite physically demanding.
Let’s go home quietly today, and go think about things I can do while browsing the internet.
I headed home with that in mind.
But you know, I could at least go shopping.
I went to a local drugstore, bought a basket full of household stuff, and headed back home.
The next day, I woke up early to do what I had in mind before going to bed last night.
I look at my phone, the time’s still 6.
I thought I may have woken up too early, but in the other world, I was up and active at this time, so I’m fully awake now.
「 Haa. I feel lonely that Euphy and Nia aren’t with me 」
I’m dependent on the two now.
Man, I want to see them already.
The next time I woke up, it was already 9.
Even though I woke up once in the middle of the night, it’s nice to sleep in my own bed.
Thanks to that, my head feels much clearer.
So much so that I want to take this pillow and mattress with me.
Okay, let’s get up and do something.
I took a shower and dressed up before leaving the house.
Naturally, I took my magic bag with me.
I got the armor and weapon and other stuff inside, and also my rare stuff, so I want to keep it with me at all times.
Depending on the situation, I might return to the other world on the spot instead of going home.
Still, the temperature is high even though it’s June.
Besides, this feels humid.
The temperatures over there didn’t change as much as in Japan, and the humidity was much lower, so it was comfortable.
Fed up with the humidity of Japan, I walked towards the station.
Then, I see a businessman in a suit passing me on his way to work a little late and thought to myself that I was just like him a few months ago.
「 No, I can’t say that I’m the same anymore 」
For a moment, I put myself in the businessman’s shoes, but considering what I did in the other world, I think my senses have been removed from the average Japanese person.
I’m prepared to live on the other side that I can be violent, and make the choice to kill others without apology.
But you know, I don’t intend to use that here at the moment.
But, that is also what happens when emotions run high.
For a moment, I wondered if such a person should be allowed to walk on the street so carefree, but then I concluded that I’m not breaking any laws in Japan, so there was no point in thinking about it.
When I arrived at the station, I headed to a certain restaurant I frequented for breakfast.
Hmm, it’s been a while since I had conveyer belt sushi.
I entered the restaurant as it opened, so I was the only customer and enjoyed my sushi.
Oh yeah, Euphy likes to eat fish, but can she eat this?
She did mention that all the fish she ate were river fish, and she never eat them raw.
So it’s unlikely that there’s a custom of eating them raw.
I never asked either since I’ve only seen river fish around.
They’d eat it if I tell them, but I wouldn’t force them to eat it.
But, let’s give it a try.
If I show them how to eat it, they might manage it.
I can imagine Euphy’s face after eating sushi. I finished my meal and headed to the train station after leaving the restaurant.
No, let’s use a taxi here.
Fuahaha, I have money!
My destination is a department store located near Akiba.
I got there in less than thirty minutes and immediately went inside the store.
I went to the level I researched yesterday, and headed for a corner that looked like a bookstore.
「 That’s three items. This is the total bill. Would you use a card for that? 」
「 Yes, please 」
The total was a little over about 320,000 yen.
After paying it off with my card, they sent me off with a polite greeting and I left the store.
I should probably do more to make money over there, but this is all I need for now.
I looked at the contents of the bag and muttered to myself.
「 Catalog gifts, they’re huge to carry around. I should go somewhere and store them away 」
What I bought were catalog gifts used for presents.
I don’t know exactly what the rich people want, much less what the other world people like, my stay there was short.
So I picked it according to my taste because I don’t expect these deals to be successful.
Therefore, when choosing goods I thought of the no-fail options, so I picked this one as my first move.
And if it goes bad for any number of reasons, I can have Euphy, Nia, and Gilbert-san pick what they want and it won’t go to waste.
In case you’re wondering, there’s another purpose for the catalog gifts.
I want to show the items listed here to Euphy and Nia, Gilbert, and the knights to see what kind of reaction I would get and what would they want.
Aside from Nia, they’re all former nobles and knights, so they must have some worldly sense of the values in the ruler class.
If so, if they think that girls will accept it, then we can do business with it.
I had thought about bringing in a table or a laptop to show them, but I decided against it, after all, there’s no internet access. I would’ve had to show them offline stuff, which is unnecessary.
Apart from that, I couldn’t think of any other sources where the source of luxury grocery items are grouped.
If possible, I want to make some easy money, like black pepper, which costs as much as gold.
With that said, my objective is achieved.
I had no plans for the rest of the day, but I walked around and bought things that caught my attention.
It feels great to shop as I please.
But still, I can’t help but wonder in the back of my mind and think about the two.
I couldn’t enjoy it to the fullest because of that.
But you know, coming home to Japan after a long while is satisfying.
「 Okay, is there anything else I forgot? 」
Once I had my other world clothes washed and my leather armor put on, I looked around to see if I forgot anything.
It’s about time for my skill to finish its cooldown.
I triggered it to try it out once, and it returned the sense that it should be available in a few minutes.
After waiting impatiently, it was good enough, so I activated my skill, and an image of my room appeared in my mind. Then it moves rapidly out of the doorway.
「 Even in Japan, there’s no restriction on how far I can travel. I made it to the department store where I rode a taxi, and it took some time to get there. Could it be that I can explore Earth with this? 」
I was surprised that my teleport range was all the places I reached today.
However, I suddenly remembered something and went back.
「 Oops, that’s not it. I have to go back to the other world. Right, huh? How do I jump to the other side again? 」
I thought the entrance to the other world and this world was the place I was summoned from, but if I try imagining moving to the other world, my vision went hazy for a moment, and after that, it returned to the tenth layer where the relief of that dungeon was located.
「 W-Well, this is convenient, it helps that I can use it like that. Okay, how about we go back now? Wasn’t there an exit at the bottom of the dungeon? If so, everyone’s probably out of the dungeon now, so I might just move somewhere near the inn. 」
With that thought in mind, I went backward from the dungeon and out, stopping my vision at an alley near the inn.
「 Okay, I’m going back. Please, get it right! 」
Using my teleport skill while wishing, a pale light comes from my body, confirming the activation of my skill.
And the next moment, I closed my eyes from the blinding light.
After a short pause, I opened my eyes and saw the location has changed from my room to the alleyway.
「 Good, nice, I’m back 」
I made a triumphant pose as I open my eyes, and hurry back to the inn where I expect to find Euphy and Nia.
