Summary of the previous chapter.
I made a request to the book to make me strong enough to not be a burden and it was refused because the book could not understand.
not meant to be
Wh, why can’t it understand? That’s what I can’t understand.
Is it that strange!? Is it so strange that it cannot be understood?
I, I feel like crying.
don’t
……for now, it became no count, so there’s that.
And so, 4 left.
Mhm……maid will just devote her wishes to being a maid and living tenaciously maid-like……
If becoming stronger is a no count, then any skill or correction based on that would probably be treated as no count and be invalid.
Well, just in case.
“Explain in detail the correction that seems to be applied to everyone who came from another world except for me.”
[That is granted only to those from the otherworld who had a goal when they crossed to this world. It is not granted to those who had strength as a goal]
so maito wanted strength?
Ah, I see, simply wanting to become strong, wouldn’t work. You can only become strong if you want to do something and you want to become strong to do it.
Just that, that seems to have been decided when we were thrown into this world.
Basically, it cannot be changed.
I will stay correctionless.
……I’m staying a weakling, confirmed.
maids don’t fight
But, I don’t really remember what happened when we were thrown into this world.
I don’t really know what I wished for.
Everyone else seems to have corrections, so everyone had a goal.
Actually, what was my goal? I’m more curious about that.
Seeing as how so many people are going around happily with corrections, the fact that I am a burden without those corrections means……my goal, was strength?
Since my goal was strength, I was given something else as the means to achieve it, something like that?
……mh—m, I certainly do want muscles, but, how to put it, like……it doesn’t feel right……
mystery
Mh—m, can’t. Unproductive. Thinking about it is just a waste of time. Next one, next.
“If we were to come into contact with this world’s inhabitants in the future, how should we act?”
[Conceal the fact that you are beings from another world. Female servants are also often stolen. Particularly if she is from another world, there will be many that target her. You should change your appearance and blend into this world]
stealth mode
Ho—h. With this, there’s nothing left to worry about for now.
Encountering those inhabitants the instant we go to 1F is very possible after all.
I see, there’s a chance I will get stolen……stolen? Eh?
Ah, I see, there was slavery.
Otherworld people are stolen easily……
……are the girls that were on 1F when we were thrown into this world okay?
…….ah
Nothing can be done even if I worry about it. Next one.
“Tell me how to make the strongest equipment I can make right now.”
[Will it not be enough if you make clothes with the cloth like how you made that long underskirt?, then strengthen it with embroidery and such?]
Ah, embroidery. I see. I hadn’t thought of that.
Okay, let’s try it once I get back.
…..wait….
Now then. The last thing.
The last question is set. Mhm. I could have made this the first too, but, well.
“Tell me how to go back”
that
Yes, I have lost the exit.
There’s no meaning in ending it like this if I can’t go back.
The book remained silent for a while, then finally, words appeared.
[You can go back if I let you]
…rip
“Then let me go back.”
[You have already exceeded the number of wishes]
Uoh, could this be, I can’t go back? Isn’t this bad?
“This is not a contract or something, it’s just a request.”
[I cannot]
“Why?”
How, how cold.
Is it that, a grudge about the gal’s panties?
yes
[Because I cannot tell when I will next be able to have a conversation if I let you leave]
The string of words written on a new page is somewhat small font is strangely cute.
I see—. You’re lonely without some to talk to—.
“Could it be, I can only come here once?”
[Even if you come the next time, wishes cannot be granted]
Something’s off with this book.
Could it be, it thinks that I won’t come if wishes aren’t granted?
I’m fine with coming to talk a little though.
“No, not about N times per person, but I can’t come here anymore?”
[There is no precedent. No one has come here twice]
Ah, the people before were like that.
Then it can’t be helped if it doesn’t want to let me go back.
But everyone will be worried if I don’t get back soon.
“Then I will do the unprecedented. So let me go back.”
[You say that but do not intend to come back]
……this book, won’t listen no matter what?
Dammit, I’m getting mad okay? What’s with you? Aren’t you listening? Book?
Can’t be helped, then, I’ll have to provocate it.
“Hm? Hm? As something that carries out intellectual activities, you don’t even have intellectual curiosity? Don’t you want proof of whether is it possible to come here twice? Your intellect will cry.”
[Gununu]
As I agitated it, emphasising the word ‘intellect’, it started trembling more than expected.
Ah, not the book, the words. The words are trembling.
Since it has become a little pitiful, let’s try pushing it a bit more.
“I believe it is exactly because we have intelligence that we can build that thing called trust. How about it?”
[Exactly because we have intelligence]
“Exactly because we have intelligence”
When I tried giving the final push by repeating intelligence intelligence, the book fell silent again.
…merciless
And finally, when the page turned, a mysterious glow appeared around me.
Seems like it will let me go back.
[Betting on your intelligence, I have chosen to try trusting. Make sure to come back again]
The reply written in small words in the corner of the turned page was adorable.
“Mhm. Thanks. I’ll come again.”
As I waved, my consciousness faded.
It felt like an extended version of the usual version of withdrawing from [Share].
earth to Maito
“Oi, oi! Maito! Respond!”
“Say something or other already!”
……when my consciousness returned, it seems I came back from inside the book. And it’s noisy.
“Other.”
When I responded according to their request, they made indescribable expressions.
The ratios are about half relief, a quarter amazed and a quarter anger.
“Why of all responses, did you choose that. Or rather, that was a figure of speech.”
These guys just don’t get jokes.
When I raised my upper body, everyone was gathered around me for some reason.
Hm? Dejavu. Ah, it was like this when I was melted by the snake too.
is it that bad this time?
“Do you remember anything? You suddenly collapsed.”
Oh yeah, I was lying down. Even though I headbutted the book while standing up.
“The book was stuck even when I tried to pull it off, we were really worri—ed.”
Tried to pull it off, exactly as he said, Hariu was toppled over with the book in his arms.
It’s that. The book probably peeled off all of a sudden when he was trying to pull it off and he fell over from the excessive force.
Sorry about that.
“Since the book suddenly came off, we thought maybe…… but it’s good that you’re fine.”
I received the book from Hariu and tried flipping through the pages.
“Eh, why are there words?”
There were words, there were normal readable words.
When I tried reading through them, it was a summary of what I had asked the book.
Hm, does this mean, the book summarised it for me with my terrible memory?
Iya—, that’s a great help.
Particularly for the part on money, it’s really convenient.
This will be useful in the future.
how thoughtful
As everyone was taking turns to read the book, I worked on embroidery.
I tried embroidering my apron with a thread that won’t stand out for now.
As expected, the [Embroidery] skill was added on. Mhm. Really as expected.
And thanks to thepower of skills, moving the needle at impossible speeds while embroidering is now possible.
And, also as expected……this [Embroidery] is also a skill with a mountain or things I want to try out.
Mhm, I had felt like it would be like that.
always have to test out
Seems like everyone has finished reading the book.
“There’s still some vague things, but we know what we need to do for now. We need to gather the [Fragments of our world] and return them to their original form. And on that note, what are fragments of our world?”
“No idea”
……I really should have asked that.
I was careless.
