Story 2The next morning, while looking at the map, I entered the opening to the sewers, opened the grate with the key I got from the town hall, and went inside.
As for my case, my helmet has a light attached, so there aren't any problems.
Are they startled by being lit up by the light; large rats scurry off.
The sewers are brickwork, so I was reminded of a European film.
I steadily continue forward along the path on the side of the sewers, placed the poison rat dumplings in the corners and in the shadows of the bricks, and finally went outside.
I ate my meal at a food stall and, returning to the sewers, although it was rather soon, 3 masmascals were dead.
Later, pests are unwanted around because they can spread diseases, so I will go to a vacant lot on the edge of town to burn them.
Since it seems that my strength won't hold out, I finish laying everything out before noon and end my work.
When the light's beams hit the masmascal I met, the instant their eyes were dazzled I stomped them or kicked them into the sewers to be drowned; I have taken down around 10.
"You were able to defeat 10 of them the very next day after receiving the request!"
"Is there a tool that can make fire?"
"Isn't it fine to use magic for that?"
When I said that, he admired me with,
"I want to burn the bodies of the masmascal who ate poison."
"Just in case, so that people who are troubled for food won't eat them, please write 'Poison' on the cloth."
Exiting the town hall, I go to the edge of town.
In about the middle of the meadow I throw the cloth with the bodies in it towards the forest with a long throw.
As of yet, I haven't had any desire to enter the forest.
Moreover, it seems like for beginners, there have been incidents where they've had their heads split by an axe.
I don't want to take that kind of risk.
The masmascal subjugation; there's 8 days left.
Let's do it patiently.
The next day, when I awoke, the morning sun was flowing in the window; I'm feeling really good.
It's like I'm overflowing with power; thinking that I grabbed the doorknob, and just like that the doorknob broke off.
Crap.
What do I do?
Anyway, for now I stick it back on.
"No, I didn't defeat any. Why did you ask that?"
"Breaking the doorknob is something that happens a lot to adventurers who don't know their own strength when their levels suddenly go up."
When I showed her the Adventurer's Card that was made when I entered the Guild to be safe, she said my level went up by 10.
According to the receptionist, the living creatures in this world have levels; when you defeat a monster it seems like their experience points in full enter into you.
Immediately, I allocate the Skill Points from leveling up to the Language Ability.
Endurance: 55
Speed: 30
Sturdiness: 26
It's like that.
Wisdom is unknown because I have common sense from Earth, and because it can change be changed quite a bit with wisdom, the fox-eared receptionist smiled and informed me to not to overestimate or underestimate it accordingly.
Today as well, it's the sewers.
From my finger, when the orange-colored, flickering flame came out from my finger, I was moved.
Turning on the helmet's light, when I looked towards the wall, there were masmascal bodies all over the place.
For now there's about 100 of them; once I gather their bodies together, I went outside.
I can't tell whether this portion is the experience points from defeating the masmascal with the poison rat dumplings, or if it's experience points from monsters that died after eating the masmascal corpses that I threw out into the forest, but either way, through a method that gave me easy gains, I've earned experience points.
Thinking like that, I divide the bodes and tie them into a cloth.
The throw was about 10 meters, respectively; in total I threw 10 body bags.
Returning to town I go to the town hall, handed over 100 tails, and received 500 Notts.
Thanks to the freedom given with the Language ability, being able to understand even small talk is fun.
Leaving the town hall, I immediately head towards Camilla's Elf's Pharmacy to request that I be allowed to rent out the 2nd floor room.
Carrying this much money, I'll use it by spending it all on things I don't need, so let's quickly use it for necessities.
It seems it's pretty much all unneeded things, so it was fine for me to use what I could use without permission; if I don't need it then throw it away.
Throwing out the unneeded things, sweeping it out, and wiping it down with a dust cloth, it's become a splendid living space.
For living on my own for the first time in this world, it's not bad.
The landlady is also kind, so I feel reassured.
< T/n:
It should have been a multi-update for the first chapter, but I was in a hurry to put the 1st chapter out because I REALLY wanted to translate this one. Although I'm okay if other people take up the same project, I understand some people are NOT okay with it, so I didn't want to get caught up in that situation.
Admittedly, this miraculous speed is accounted by my not-washing of dishes and not-cooking and not-cleaning, and not reading my assigned books, so… don't expect this TOO often. Just when I can't contain myself and have to know what happens next (lol).
Also, I tentatively got Hanabokuro's permission (after the fact. I don't have guts to do things properly), so, yay!>
