  • Chronicles of a Creative Different World Reincarnation (Chapter 2 Part 24)

    Duke Campbell

     

    When I got to the carriage, a middle-aged man came down with blond hair and a bald crown.

    I felt some dignity from the middle-aged man before me.

    It may have been due to his immaculately manicured blonde beard.

    Meyer knelt to a middle-aged man who came down from the carriage and opened his mouth.

    「Your Excellency, I got help from these people here. So, I was able to annihilate the monsters without taking much damage. 」

    「So, that’s why I was saved. I would like to thank you. Mayer, hurry up and treat the wounded. Unfortunately, we will have to take home the bodies of those who have been killed by the monsters instruct those able to put the bodies in the magic bags. 」

    「Ha! I respectfully obey. Though it is impertinent of me, Your Excellency, I promised a reward for this person’s help, so please take it into your consideration. So then, I will give instructions to those under my command. 」

    The man called His Excellency nodded magnanimously to Mayer’s reply.

    Moreover, after looking and his reply, Meyer ran towards the knight order.

    The man, His Excellency, faced Eleanor and I and opened his mouth.

    「Well, my name is Harvey Von Campbell. I’m a Duke of the Midogal Kingdom. 」

    So, this old geezer is a duke, huh.

    I guess I have to give my name to this geezer too.

    「I’m Louis, the child behind me is Eleanor. I’m sorry but I will tell you this before. I am not settled in any country, much less a Midogal Kingdom subject. And because I’m an adventurer I don’t humble myself to nobles, so let me talk normally. If you don’t like it, I will only get my reward and leave. 」

    「It is not a problem, I do not have the intention of harsh treatment of the benefactor that has helped me. I’m not such a petty man. I have too much gratitude to worry about putting on airs. 」

    Harvey Von Campbell’s stock rose for me.

    Well, although I tried to get a rise out of him.

    It is an excuse from getting employed by a noble.

    However, there are some knights staring at me.

    I pay it no mind.

    「What do you desire as a reward? Do you wish for money, weapons, armour, magic tools? 」

    I do not need weapons and the like as I make good things myself.

    I decided to keep it to money.

    「Can you make it money?」

    Old man Harvey who heard my words took out a sachet from his magic bag.

    It seems that he was taking out platinum coins out of there.

    Then he handed me platinum coins.

    「This is a thank you. Will you accept it? 」

    I got 5 platinum coins from Harvey old man-san and put it in the item box.

    I don’t know what the market price is for a reward but with this, I can stay at a high-end inn for 80 days.

    In addition to that, I treated an injured knight and wondered for a moment if I’d get a reward but it seems that the Duke seems to have healers too.

    Although it is not complete, it seems that injured people are recovering without problems.

    Regrettably, though I have already received my reward, as I moved my legs to leave, a voice came from Harvey old man-san.

    「Where are you going?」

    I was suddenly asked for a destination so I looked at Harvey’s face with suspicious eyes.

    I watched for a while but I did not detect any trick in particular.

    Well, suppose I can tell him my destination.

    「We are going to Midoria to visit our acquaintances. I have not decided how long I’ll stay in Midoria but I’m planning to travel. 」

    When he heard my words, old man Harvey-san seemed to ponder about something while stroking his beard with his fingers.

    Having pondered for a moment, old man Harvey opened his mouth and flashed a smile.

    「Fumu, I see. I am now heading back to Midoria after dealing with official affairs. Quite a few knights were sacrificed and escort guards have been reduced too. So why don’t I ask you guys to act as an escort? How about an escort fee of 3 platinum coins? I do not mind if you relax in the carriage until the case of an emergency.  We are planning on arriving in Midoria in roughly 6 days or so. 」

    I thought for a moment, but is this a pretty delicious request, isn’t it? I decided to accept it.

     

    ◆

     

    Eleanor and I were in the same carriage as Harvey.

    It has already been three days since I received an escort request.

    You may say that there have been almost no attacks so far.

    Weak monsters sometimes attack on their own.

    The carriage is owned by a Duke’s house and it is a good carriage with good suspension.

    The gentle rocking of the carriage seems to be pleasant to Eleanor.

    It seems that way because Eleanor leaned on my shoulder and fell asleep breathing gently.

    I gently stroked Eleanor’s head.

    Old man Harvey-san looked on with kind eyes.

    In such an atmosphere, I heard stories about the raid.

    It is because the information was still unconfirmed, he did not speak immediately about it.

    After the raid, old man Harvey’s spies investigated and as a result, he told me the confirmed information.

    「The raid seems to have involved the Stania Empire. Recently I heard that the Stania Empire is getting suspicious, but I only heard it in rumours, maybe it has now gone into full swing. They are the biggest country on Earth and from the past, they have implemented policies that have been only preferential to the human race. And beastmen, elves, dwarves and demons are enslaved. I also heard that they have illegal slave hunting. 」

    During the conversation about slaves, old man Harvey frowned. However, the chat continued as is.

    「Since the current emperor began his reign 10 years ago, the Stania Empire has gradually become more extreme, but this time they are trying to extend the supremacy of humans throughout Earth. That monster raid was probably used to attempt to lower the national power of Midogal before a war. Well, I’m not sure but, I think, war is an almost absolute certainty. The reason why I said this is because you are Eleanor’s master, who is a beastman. Having being told that you are on a journey, I suggest going to the Stania Empire. I think there would be people that want to harass Eleanor at this time, so please be careful. 」

    I only had casual information about Stania, so I was grateful and consider the reception of this advice favourably.

    Because I was given this advice, I would like to thank old man Harvey.

    「Because I didn’t know a lot of that information, it has been beneficial to me. Thank you. 」

    Having heard what I said, old man Harvey nods while smiling.

    Eleanor was already an inseparable existence to me already.

    In order to absolutely defend Eleanor, I pledged in my heart that I must put my strength in my ability to resist unreasonable things more.

    「So, why do I tell you about this story?  I fell in love with a beastman girl a long time ago, but due to me being a Duke and the different statuses……. When I look at you two, I remember back to that time. It is just nonsense from an old man and I want you to defend that smile. Gahahaha 」

    Afterwards, I did not want to hear much more but old man Harvey selfishly raised his old love banner.

    I don’t want to hear an old man’s old love banner……

    I couldn’t tell him to stop talking, so I pretended to listen.

    However, the Stania Empire huh.

    Lisa is also of the Elf race and if we meet, all I can do is to convey the information on the Stania Empire to her.

    — — Earth History March, 2619 — —

    I greeted the morning of the 6th day that I got into the carriage.

    Old man Harvey said that we would arrive n Midoria today.

    The journey to Midoria is almost at the end.

    This is the last breakfast I’d be eating with old man Harvey.

    As we finished eating breakfast without incident, we got back into the carriage to continue our journey.

    About three hours later, while being jostled around in the carriage, we arrived in Midoria, the capital city of Midogal Kingdom.

    The size of the gate to the city is quite large, it is about 20 meters.

    And the other wall encloses the whole city of Midoria.

    Old man Harvey said that makes Midoria suitable for defence.

    There are many small rooms emplaced in the large outer walls that have magic tools that amplify the power of magic there.

    It seems that those small rooms are filled with small knights belonging to the Midogal Kingdom.

    On occasion, they have launched magic with weakened power as an exercise which seems to be a specialty of the city.

    Naturally, as it is dangerous at that time, they suspend traffic during the exercise.

    While listening to such a story the horse-drawn carriage passed through the gate for aristocrats.

    Then the carriage stopped after running through the city a little.

    Old man Harvey wanted to invite us to his mansion but for now, it was necessary to go to the king to report the attack.

    I received payment for the escort duties from old man Harvey and got off the carriage after saying our goodbyes.

    I alighted the carriage and looked around at the city around me.

    The city is quite crowded.

    The traffic is heavy, as expected of the capital of a country.

    「Well, let’s first decision is choosing an inn then go to the adventurer guild. I should get some information about Airi and Lisa. 」

    「Of course! The inn must have delicious meals! 」

    Recently, Eleanor ceased holding back on enthusiasm for such meals.

    As I do not want to endure unpleasantness, this a pleasant change.

    After that, I decided on an inn and ate lunch there.

    I decided to have a meal then ask the lady innkeeper where the adventurer guild is, then go there.

     

    ◆

     

    We managed to get to the adventurer guild without getting lost.

    After I had a look around at the noisy guild, I move towards the reception counter.

    After waiting for a while, our turn came around. I then asked the receptionist for information on Airi and Lisa.

    However, the information was not palatable, I understand what it is to be like to be an adventurer in this city.

    I’ve decided to ask other adventurers in the guild to attempt to get more information.

    I greeted the male adventurer who was nearby and I asked about Airi and Lisa, but the information I got was not that good.

    I asked several people about Airi and Lisa, in turn afterwards.

    Then I heard a man’s snarl from behind.

    「What business do you have with Airi and Lisa?!」

    Fate Comes with Time (2)

     

    「Well then, let’s do it.」

    I bundled up the back of my head with one hand and tried it.

    Then Chrono reliably nodded.

    「Let me take care of that. I will make Onee-chan pretty and cute. 」

    「Ahhh, I’m glad. Then, I would like to ask Chrono to do just that for me. 」

    That’s really cute.

    Even if it was lip service, I was glad.

    In the past few years, if I think about it, I could not find a salon that suited me, so I ended up moving from a salon to another like a gypsy.

    It might be my good fate to work with Chrono-kun.

    If it turns out well then, I can become a regular.

    Come to think about it, I still have not asked where his shop is.

    「Where is the shop Chrono-kun work at is?」

    He seemed to be waiting for that question.

    「If you don’t mind, please have this.」

    He takes a business card from this chest pocket and presents it through the firewall.

    Chrono’s hand holding the business card was beautiful enough to captivate my eyes.

    His fingers are long, slender and look beautiful like a white marble statue glowing in the moonlit night.

    Being as beautiful as a work of art is probably a business tool for him.

    I felt guilty about thinking this way while I received the business card from his hand.

    Whiling holding the box I received a while ago, I looked at the business card that I received.

    “Hair Salon Chrono” — That is the name of the shop.

    「Hair salon…… Chrono, is it? 」

    「Yes」

    The address seems to be close to my apartment but I don’t remember seeing it.

    Perhaps it was newly opened.

    There was his name under the store name.

    『Chorno Kuro, Manager』 –Eh. store manager?

    「Chrono-kun, are you the manager?」

    Upon seeing my surprised reaction, he pulled a face like a naughty child.

    「Can you not read it?」

    「Yes, well……. You are young, aren’t you? I’m guessing you are still in your 20s.」

    「I’m 28」

    「Young?!」

    「Even though it is only one employee, me, the manager.」

    However, now that you mention it he does give the impression of a boss, but by no means does he look 28.

    「I get told that often, it appears so.」

    He said this with a sweet smile on his face.

    「By the way, what is Onee-san’s name? If you don’t tell me, I can’t make a reservation. 」

    「My name is Mishima. The kanji characters are the numeral three and the same character as the island of Shimane. 」

    「Mishima what-san?」

    「It’s Mishima Miyako. Miyako from the first character of Kyoto 『Miyako』」

    「Miyako-san, huh? Chronotowa, my best regards for the future. 」

    Chrono-kun continued and lightly lowered his head.

    「So, I’m free tomorrow would you like to make an appointment then?」

    「Tomorrow? Okay, I have no plans……」

    I wonder if it is alright to make a reservation so suddenly.

    Chrono-san laughed pleasantly to allay my uneasiness.

    「Just to assure you, by chance, there are no reservations for tomorrow.」

    「Well then, don’t worry, time is available whenever.」

    「Certainly. So then, how about 10 in the morning? 」

    「That’s fine. 」

    The truth is. after this, I was thinking about going to bed after drinking to myself to a stupor.

    But now, my tears have dried up in the night wind and I have an errand to run tomorrow morning.

    There is no time to drink, no time to cry.

    「So, tomorrow morning at 10, Mishima Miyako-sama. I’ll be expecting you. 」

    「Thank you very much. 」

    The first shortstop.

    When it comes down to it, I am a little nervous now.

    It is a heart pounding situation to talk about things like this to a neighbour that one has just met today.

    「Well, Miyako-san good night, you had better get to bed early. You will catch a cold if you stay here for a long time. 」

    I accepted what Chrono-kun said and responded positively.

    「That’s right. Thanks for everything Chrono-kun」

    「You are welcome, Miyako-san」

    As I said, Chrono smiled again with a face that does not look 28.

    「Good night, see you tomorrow. 」

    He left a little after his regards and returned to his apartment.

    While thinking that his appearance has disappeared, I heard the sound of the veranda door closing quietly through the firewall.

    I also took a deep breath and sucked in the cold night air before returning to my room.

    For now, let’s arrange the shoes at the entrance, get changed, take a bath then try to get some light sleep.

    I will not cry any longer because I have to be up early tomorrow.

    On the contrary, I’m better than I thought I’d be.

    On Saturday, I visited the address on the business card that I received.

    「Hair Salon Chronos…… It’s here」

    The store was close to our apartments, just around the corner of a residential area.

    The store is small white brick store that had a cute and pretty appearance with a look of a café.

    One of the reasons for that is that the windows are smaller like other shops, not like other hair salons.

    There was a poster at the door.

    According to it, it seems that the store will open at 9:30am on Sunday morning.

    It seems that it is not opened yet today.

    「The reservation was today…… right? 」

    I suddenly I got worried.

    Last night, Chrono said 『10 o’clock on Saturday morning』

    I remember the time, but what if I misunderstood?

    Worst of all, I had a broken heart and there is the possibility of me hallucinating, but I was sober.

    While I was perplexed, the doorbell sounded unexpectedly.

    「Welcome, I’ve been waiting for you.」

    Then the door opened and a familiar face appears in front of me.

    Chrono-kun.

    A sweet smile floated on his lips, with a blonde hair sweeping over his face and drooping eyes.

    I timidly answered back.

    「Good morning. Did you make a reservation for today? 」

    「That is correct.」

    「But the sign on the door stated that it is opened tomorrow. 」

    「The place is empty and you have an appointment. It’s not a coincidence, isn’t it? 」

    Chrono-kun invited me to the store as a matter of fact.

    The inside of the shop was paneled with woodgrain panels both on the walls and floors and had a warmth to the interior decoration.

    There are 3 styling chairs and only 2 shampoo basins.

    Every fixture is brand new and shiny, and the mirror is polished to the extent that the figure appears on the floor as well.

    There is no one in the store besides Chrono-kun and I.

    「Miyako-san is the first customer in this store.」

    While guiding me to the styling chair, Chrono-kun said.

    「Is that so? Is it because it is before the official opening? 」

    When he heard that, he nodded back.

    「Today we will call the staff and guests in the afternoon for planning and rehearsal.」

    「Well, it’s the day before the official opening,」

    「I’m glad you came here but I wanted to cut your hair anyway. I invited Miyako-san before rehearsing. 」

    And after having me sit down, he turned me in the chair around the front, facing the mirror.

    The mirror in front of me was reflecting me sitting in the styling chair and Chrono-kun picking up the brush behind me.

    I had puffy, swollen eyes.

    Chrono-kun who rolled up the sleeves of his dungaree shirt, brush my hair with gentle movements.

    My hair was comfortably combed.

    Just like I saw last night, his hand was a beautiful, slender hand like a work of art.

    I was looking forward to seeing how this hand will change my hair.

    At the same time, although I also felt somewhat frustrated.

    「Is it ok for me to be your first customer?」

    When asking through the mirror, Chrono-kun raised his face up and met my eyes.

    「Miyako-san is fine as a first customer」

    Saying such a thing so easily makes me embarrassed.

    「Aren’t you superstitious?  Having a broken-hearted person as a first customer? 」

    「The customer is a customer, the reason is irrelevant.」

    Chrono-kun gently bunched my hair with slender hands.

    The eyes that were looking at my hair were serious.

    「In addition to what I said yesterday. Miyako-san will definitely look good with a shortcut. 」

    I could not believe it was lip service as it was said in a passionate voice.

    「I will make Miyako-san the absolute cutest. Please believe and leave it to me 」

    This is the first time cutting my hair short.

    I thought it would be better to leave it to Chrono-kun than deciding it myself.

    「Well then, please go ahead. You can do whatever you want. 」

    In response, Chono-kun smiled for an instant.

    「You are resolved, aren’t you Miyako-san」

    「I have nothing to lose」

    I laughed into a mirror.

    I had a last look at my long hair.

    After that, Chrono-kun lead me to the shampoo basin.

    A towel was wrapped around my collar and sat in the chair and had a blanket put on my knee, Chrono-kun gently reclined the back of the chair.

    I was slightly nervous somehow when I looked up at him from an almost supine position.

    With the strong lighting coming from the ceiling, Chrono-kun’s face had a dark shadow cast and looked like a different person when I had a peek.

    But when he saw my face, he smiled and the darkness quickly scattered.

    「Miyako-san, are you nervous?」

    「Oh, sorry. It is weird for someone that I know to wash my hair.」

    「It is OK for you to relax. I’ll put a towelette on your face, so close your eyes 」

    I closed my eyes as requested.

    A few seconds later, I felt a think cloth on my face.

    I can hear the sound of warm water flow over my head.

    「Please let me know if it is too hot」

    After voicing that, Chrono-kun ran the hot water through my hair.

    At first, from the hairline to the side of the ear, from the hair whorl to the eyelid, slowly stroking my head with warm water and big hands.

    The warm water was just like the temperature of a bath, comfortable.

    「Miyako-san is it not too hot?」

    「It is just right.」

    Chrono-kun’s shampooing was good.

    It was very pleasant to be washed and massaged with fingertips.

    It is also a good feeling when the bubbles rise with a rhythmic sound.

    Not only the dirt, my stress and tiredness felt like they were melting away from deep inside as well, it gave me the feeling that I wanted my hair to be washed all the time.

    So, when I let out an unexpected sigh, I heard Chrono-kun teasingly laughed.

    「Do you feel good?」

    「Yeah, very much so……」

    I might have fallen asleep if I was a little more relaxed.

    I was nervous and it was good for it.

    「Chrono-kun’s shampooing is good」

    I corrected myself after saying it in a rude manner to a manager. (TN: Japanese manners can be perplexing.)

    「I’m sorry, because you are a manager, it is natural to be good.」

    「It seems like it, but it is due to spending a lot of time down in the bottom ranks, isn’t it?」

    Chrono-kun replied while moving his fingers.

    「When I was a newbie, I was in charge of the shampoo station all day. In most shops, shampooing is the newcomer’s work. 」

    「If so, it is a great honor to have the store manager, Chrono-kun, wash it.」

    「Because I’ve worked so hard, I got to own my own store.」

    There was the sound of the taps twisting again.

    「I was also lucky though. It is here, in this shop, where the things my seniors did are now implemented. 」

    Chrono-kun continues while washing away the lather from my hair with warm water.

    「The seniors were going to close down their shop, and there was a rumor going around that they would hand it over to someone…… I thought that this was my chance and I stood forward. I’ve always wanted to be independent. 」

    Even though there is only a 1-year difference between Chrono-kun and I, he is quite well grounded.

    I want to be independent, it is quite a wonderful ambition to have, owning a store while still in his twenties.

    I should emulate this.

    「However, I’ve not lived here so I don’t really know the lay of the land.」

    Then Chrono-kun smiled a smile that was more appropriate to his age.

    「All the staff are from this neighborhood, but I was the only one that was not. I thought I need to get familiar as soon as possible. 」

    Is that why Chrono-kun moved?

    He is not a person from around here, I’m like that too though.

    「Miyako-san are you from here?」

    After washing my hair, I was questioned while getting wiped it with a towel.

    「No. But since I’ve been here for 7 years so I know it better than my hometown. 」

    「7 years, you are by far my senior.」

    Chrono-kun removed the towelette covering my face.

    When I slowly open my eyes, my line of sight strikes Chrono-kun who is wiping my hair.

    「If so, can you teach me about the area?」

    Those words, I’ve heard it from another person before.

    『I don’t know much about this area yet. Mishima-san, please show me around』

    The warm smile of Etou-kun suddenly revived in my mind, flooding me with distress.

    That’d why I thought I’d show him around.

    This town.

    The planetarium at the science museum.

    「……Miyako-san？」

    I heard my name called and I pulled myself together.

    Chrono-kun at my face suspiciously.

    If you are suddenly immersed in memories in front of you, you’d act pretty odd.

    「No. Please feel free to ask anytime. 」

    I answered as brightly as I could.

    Even right now, I feel like laughing off my past.

     

  • Chronicles of a Creative Different World Reincarnation (Chapter 2 Part 23)

    To the Midogal Kingdom

     

    About 10 days have passed since the first request was completed.

    In the meanwhile, I have achieved a fair daily pace in completing requests.

    Therefore. even though I only took requests that were nearby, I somehow managed to raise my adventurer rank to D.

    「Eleanor has been strengthened for a while now, so I think we should be heading to Midoria the capital of the Midogal Kingdom soon. I want to raise my rank further but that would have to wait till I get to Midoria. 」

    「I’m going to Midoria! I’m sure I can meet Airi-san and Lisa-san again! 」

    「Un. It would be nice to be able to meet safely, but there is not much information on Airi and Lisa, they might be in Midoria, they might not recognise and understand my grown-up body. We will have to figure it out when the time comes. When we meet safely, I’ll introduce Eleanor. 」

    When you look at her custom-made weapons, including armour, I think Eleanor would rival a lower level B rank.

    Though her skill level is low, it will go up as her skill growth rate increases.

    Since I was able to transfer the status enhancement, I think that she will become stronger from now on.

    When my skill level of Crafting Master goes up, we can make better weapons, armour, accessories.

    The accommodation we have paid in advance runs out today, so today I decided to leave Sumeria without taking a request.

    After leaving the inn, I bought supplies that we were low on, meat skewers for a light meal on the way and headed out of town.

    ◆

     

    Since we have resumed our journey, we have already entered the Midogal Kingdom and passed through several small villages and towns.

    There has been no particular trouble during that time.

    And on the way, I progressed while training Eleanor.

    I went to buy a carriage before leaving Sumeria, but it seems that there was a large order a while ago and it was out of stock.

    There was no chance of buying it if it was out of stock, so we had no choice but to give up.

    Today, I was walking along the highway with the forest to my left.

    While walking and viewing the idyllic landscape, I heard voices and sounds that people are fighting from afar.

    As we walked a little quicker and a little further and we see Orc General, Orc Leader, Orc, Ogre General, Ogre Leader and an ogre group and a knight like group were fighting.

    If you look closely at that group, the Order is taking formation to protect a carriage.

    Because the knights are fighting while defending, their extermination speed is slow.

    In addition to that, moderate damage was taken by the Knight Order. others are exhausted by the attacks from the Orc General and its group.

    Since I do not like aristocrats after Alfred’s case, I have not gone to help.

    I think that all aristocrats are disgusting guys, but by no means can you wipe out the bad impression of nobility from my mind.

    Although we could pass by as it is, there was a place to rest and contemplate a little, so I was watching from that place about 20 meters away.

    「Goshujin-sama, are you going to help? Are you just going to leave it? 」

    「Well, we will wait and see, aren’t the monsters acting strange? I won’t go there. 」

    「The way it looks, I feel that they are aiming for the carriage.」

    「Though, I just appraised the Ogre then, it seems to be in a tamed state. That means there is a tamer. So, I guess the tamer is attacking. 」

    Sitting with Eleanor and talking about that, a big guy from the knight group ran over here.

    And he called out loudly but politely.

    「Sorry to suddenly call out to you there. My name is Mayer Captain of the Midogal Kingdom’s private knight chivalric order of Duke Campbell. I shamefully ask of you. Could you please help us? Of course, we will reward you! Even if you can drive away as it is, the damage will be quite large. You exude the aura of a strong man. If you were on our side, I think we can defeat them easily. I suppose. 」

    A strong soldier, and from a duke’s family huh.

    What should I do?

    I opened my mouth with feelings that lacked enthusiasm.

    「Well, that monster is in a tamed state, so is this a power struggle? An enemy due to some internal disagreement? I don’t know this area and the situation of either camp and I need to think carefully about taking sides. 」

    「Certainly, I agree with what you say…… Here, for those who are attacking, you could say there are grievances from the attackers. I can’t go into the details but I think there is nothing here that I can’t say. As for the details, it has to come from the Duke, it is a pity that more can’t come from me. 」

    Nnnn, I wonder what should I do?

    It is the monster that is attacking and there are no individuals seem there, but the Ogre General’s tamer has a grudge, should I do it?

    This Captain is pretty polite.

    「OK, I understand, I’ll clean up from here, have the other knights fall back and leave it all to me. Eleanor can’t yet handle an Ogre General, so please watch closely with the Captain near the carriage. 」

    「I understand! I want to be able to fight them as soon as possible! 」

    「Is that the truth? It is much appreciated! My best regards, thank you. 」

    Since this enemy poses no problem at all, I will tidy this up quickly.

    First of all, in order to beat Ogre General and Orc General who are leading, I have to get the other monsters consolidated together in a downburst and slow down the movement.

    Then, I threw an air thrust towards the Orc General, instantly destroying it.

    At the same time, with a combination of instant steps and sky step, I released triangular jumping kicks using the air and broke the Ogre Generals’ necks.

    Since the monsters have surfaced by defeating the Ogre and Orc generals, I decided to take the rest at once.

    I felt that the leadership of monsters had collapsed, so I looked to see if there were any damage rearwards.

    What entered my sight was Eleanor’s satisfied face and astonished knights.

    Because there was no problem rearwards, I push through further at a higher speed.

    In that way, I finished off the rest of the monsters.

    Even after eliminating the monsters, I cautiously watch the area but there was no sign of the tamer that brought the monsters.

    I felt that the battle here was over, I quickly stored the defeated monsters in my item box.

    After that, I turned to the Eleanor and the Captain.

  • Chronicles of a Creative Different World Reincarnation (Chapter 2 Part 22)

    First Request Achievement

    I, Eleanor had my world changed since I met Goshujin-sama that day.

    Goshujin-sama attacked the bandits in an instant and was strong and awesome!

    Goshujin-sama has a lot of seasonings and delicious meat and it’s amazing!

    My best recommendation is the thing called Yakinikutare!

    Goshujin-sama is also good at camping, making a bath, creating a barrier too!

    Goshujin-sama gave me a new skill via skill transfer!

    I’ve never heard of skill transfer before this!

    It’s amazing!

    I’m going to work and get strong so that I can be with Goshujin-sama forever!

    While travelling with Goshujin-sama, I came to Sumeria he had me have dinner at the table, bought clothes, bought a scarf and bundled it up to casually hide the slavery collar.

    He is just too kind…… he seems to be anyway.

    After registering as an adventurer at the adventurer guild, he refused to hand me over to other adventurers and protected me!

    I did not know my mother from the time I was born, my father did not care for me and I became a slave……

    For the first time, I’ve learnt that being protected bring so much relief to my heart.

    I suddenly realised that I was starving for love and affection.

    I shopped a lot on the way back from the adventurer’s guild, came back to the inn, ate dinner and returned to the room with Goshujin-sama.

    It has been a week today that I have met Goshujin-sama, but from now on, I will convey this heartfelt pounding gratitude to him.

    When I think about being rejected, I get afraid to convey my feelings but I will do my best!

    「Goshujin-sama, there’s something I want to tell you.」

    ◆

    As I returned to the room, didn’t Eleanor tell me that she had something to tell me?

    I wonder if the trip was a little tough?

    「I am very grateful to Goshujin-sama.

    Ever since I was born until now, I’ve never felt love or affection.

    I’ve never have had a partner I could experience love or affection, neither parents or anyone else.

    Then I met Goshujin-sama and I’ve come to appreciate various things.

    I think it is impertinent with this slave body but I would like to have your favour, Goshujin-sama.

    I would like to stay with Goshujin-sama from now on.

    So……what…..do you……think…..」

    Eleanor was sobbing during her confession.

    Before I noticed it, I was hugging Eleanor.

    My tears were flowing too.

    The life that Eleanor has lead might be tougher than mine.

    It is all OK with me, I’ve already decided to live with Eleanor from now on.

    Until now I did not completely trust Eleanor so I left her remaining as a slave.

    However, if we are going to live together in the future, I will release her from slavery and go forward as equals.

    「Thank you for telling me that you like me, I think that I like Eleanor too

    I’d like to ask Eleanor to stay with me forever because I will release you from slavery. 」

    I drained the slavery collar of its magic and removed it off Eleanor.

    I kissed Eleanor gently afterwards.

    The slavery collar can only be removed when the master drains magic from the collar with the intention to liberate the person in question.

    The only way for a person who is not the master to release it is to use anti-slave dark magic.

    This magic is kept as a closely guarded secret in the slavery business.

    However, as I have all attribute magic, I can use anti-slave dark magic.

    This magic came to my mind when I tried to make magic to liberate slaves for something else, so I remember it.

    ◆

    I noticed something soft on me.

    When I turned my eyes down to look for the cause of the soft weight, Eleanor dressed as the moment she was born (T/N: nekked!), was sleeping with her head on my chest.

    Eleanor was soft and pleasant with a nice smell.

    But, I have to get up because I have to do my best and work hard, I am going to go get a request today.

    Somehow, with perseverance, I managed to get up.

    After I got up, I cleaned myself with life magic.

    After I got some clothes on, I went to the inn’s garden and did a little training.

    On the way to training, I greeted the Oba-chan running the inn and the other guests. There seem to be quite a few good people staying here.

    Eleanor was also awake when I was finished with training and returned to my room.

    I was embraced as soon as I noticed her.

    It was not easy to walk with her hugging me.

    Looking at that, I hated myself for being a little too rough yesterday.

    「Eleanor, is your body OK?」

    「It’s all right! I was happy! 」

    As Eleanor was displaying an affectionate smile, I patted her head.

    Even though Eleanor is released from slavery, as it seems, she still called me Goshujin-sama.

    So, it seems that that is what I will be called in future as it has been before.

    Even though the slavery collar is gone, it seems that she loves the scarf and kept it wound around her neck.

    We had breakfast for 2, then we headed for the adventurer guild.

    The front desk staff at the inn asked 「Were you enjoying last night? 」

    When it was said, I was too embarrassed, I may have possibly damaged part of the inn.

    When we entered the adventurer guild, gazes gathered upon us.

    But it soon evaporated.

    Because everyone immediately averted their eyes.

    I was wondering about the incident yesterday worked.

    I felt that there was an aura of “I don’t want to get involved” from everyone at the adventurer guild.

    Well, because what happened yesterday was troublesome, I think it is easier.

    I went to the request board but naturally, F and G rank is no good.

    Remarks: Request is completed after subjugating 10 goblins.

     

    If one dismantles hunted monsters properly in the subjugation system, there will be materials to sell, so will rewards be a bit better?

    I have the money I earned in the duel, but I have to earn more.

    I decided to take the F rank wild wolf subjugation.

    It seems like it would be good to go to the guild reception counter even if you intend to receive a permanent request like slime and goblin subjugation or collection of medicinal herbs.

    I felt that the receptionist was a little scared of me when I took the request form to the reception counter.

    It might be better not to linger in the town for too long.

    I have to go to Midogal.

    As we have to also strengthen Eleanor, the balance is quite difficult.

    I learnt a new map skill during training this morning but I can’t use it as much yet.

    Being on foot, earning money efficiently is tough.

    【Map】

    One can auto-map a range (skill level X 20 meters) centring on oneself.

    It can also be combined with detection.

    I got the request and moved from the guild to the outside of the city.

    While using the skill level 1 map, I will search for wild wolf, goblin, slime and medicinal herbs.

    I will let Eleanor learn the basics and follow behind.

    We had a lunch break on the way but we eventually achieved a fair bit thanks to expending effort until the evening.

    22 wild wolves, 44 goblins, 63 slimes were subjugated and 90 bunches of medicinal herbs were obtained.

    After returning to the guild to report the completion of the requests and sell the collected material, I was surprised by the amount of material we got.

    The shocked receptionist recovered and properly responded afterwards.

    「As a result of Louis-sama’s and Eleanor’s effort this time, it is 15 points for the G ranked requests and 16 points for the E ranked quests for a total of 31 points.」

    Since one would rank up from G rank to F rank with 20 points Louis-sama and Eleanor are F Ranks and the current ranking points sit at 1 each.

    In addition to that, for the 15 G rank requests rewards are 4 silver coins and 5 copper coins. As for the 8 F rank requests rewards are 4 silver coins. The total would be 8 silver coins and 5 copper coins.

    For the purchase of materials and magic stones, one wild wolf pelt is a silver coin a piece there are 22 pelts, wild wolf magic stones are 5 copper coins each there are 22 stones. Goblin magic stones are 2 copper coins each there are 44 here. Slime magic stones are 1 copper coin each and we have 63 here. So, the total comes to 4 gold coins, 8 silver coins and 1 copper coin.

    It was a total of 5 gold coins, 6 silver coins and 6 copper coins for the request rewards and the material sales.

    It is a little insufficient to cover the 10 days of inn accommodation that I paid in advance, I think I can get more when our rank goes up, I’ll head back to today and work hard again tomorrow.

    On my way home, I pointed out the problems with Eleanor’s battle today.

    After returning to the inn, I had dinner with Eleanor then we took a bath together and went to bed together.

    Of course, I made it a modest night tonight.

    In this way, our first request went without a hitch.

  • Chronicles of a Creative Different World Reincarnation (Chapter 2 Part 21)

    Duel

    I got an understanding of the explanation that the receptionist gave.

    So, I think I should accept requests so as to raise my rank for now.

    When I went to the front of the request board and was searching for a request, I head a threatening voice from behind.

    「You’re a rookie, right?  As a rookie shouldn’t you do a medicinal herb collection request or some form of non-dangerous work? Is work without danger suitable for you? Therefore, shouldn’t you join our party so that we can use the beastman beside you to be our porter? 」

    Hey, why are you telling me this? This is such a template for a guy.

    Is it OK to dual in this situation?

    I don’t understand as to how far I can go.

    I know that I can respond if it is legitimate self-defense, but what should I do here?

    Furthermore, when I’m deciding as to what to do, you yell out whatever pleases you.

    When I looked behind him, there were 2 women and 2 men in their 20s standing around.

    「Haha, Zuan, this guy is too scared to answer you, please speak more gently to him.」

    「Hey, hey, just leave these guys alone, let’s just go quickly choose a request.」

    「It’s fine, it’s fine. It would be easier with more baggage handlers. 」

    So, went the condescending conversation between the brown-haired man, the redhead woman and the brunette woman.

    By the way, the man called Zuan was blonde.

    「I wonder, should I refuse that sort of thing? I have decided to pretend not to have heard your suggestion and I suggest that you do what Onee-san here has said.

    I’m busy checking out requests right now. 」

    「I do not want to go with the likes of you.」

    Eleanor looked with cold eyes as if looking at human refuse.

    The inside of the guild suddenly got noisy.

    People were looking around, some were looking with sympathetic eyes and there were guys jeering.

    I mean, there seems to be a lot of people clamouring for an event.

    I heard various voices around me whispering.

    「It would be miserable for the newbie to be involved with Zuan.」

    「Anyway, it is improbable that the silver-haired kid would duel, it’s just a quarrel and I think it is over now.」

    「Even though Zuan is cocky, he is pretty strong.」

    Even though I can hear everything, I refuse to listen and decided to continue perusing the requests.

    As a result, I judged whilst talking that there was no problem ignoring them as they were too weak.

    「Ooi! Stoop ignoring me! Ooi! I’m talking to you! 」

    As I turned around to look back, Zuan was turning red and trembling with anger.

    Due to his appearance being too funny, I almost leaked a laugh.

    I’m not trying to be detestable! However, holding a poker face is difficult.

    「You finally turned around! I will not forgive you!! It’s a duel!!」

    「Oh? You seem to be a little weak but you want to duel? 」

    「Are you trying to make a fool out of me?! If you have so much self-confidence, you are obviously happy to have a duel? 」

    Well, because there seemed to be no harm, I ignored him.

    From what I head from the whispers around the guild, his reputation does not seem to be very good.

    Should I do it?

    「I understand, I accept your challenge. What should we wager? 」

    「You will place that beastman as a bet! I want you to dogeza if you lose. 」

    「Well then, you all will but down 3 platinum coins as a bet.」

    「Well, have you not got that amount of money?」

    「If you have an insufficient amount, you’d be a debt slave after it’s over. I’ve just bet Eleanor, but the value is still not equal is it? Thus, I will bet a further 2 platinum coins. 」

    Since I won’t lose, I added an additional 2 platinum coins to the bet.

    It would seem that he was freaked out by the amount of his bet because he made the decision alone and was doing it selfishly.

    However, he was fascinated with the addition to the bet after.

    Zuan consulted the other 4 in private.

    After waiting for a while, he finally seemed to have decided on the bet.

    I decided to borrow the guild’s arena for the duel.

    Eleanor, Zuan, his party and I moved as a group to the arena.

    It seems that a large number of onlookers moved in droves to the spectator seats.

    Guild officials also arrived.

    It seemed that the guild staff members would signal the start of the battle.

    「Goshujin-sama, please do your best, good luck!」

    I responded with a wave to Eleanor’s support.

    「So, before we commence the duel between Zuan and Louis-sama, we will verify the wagers.

    If Zuan wins the dual, Louis-sama will pay with Eleanor and two white gold coins.

    If Louis-sama wins, Zuan’s party will pay three white gold coins.

    If they do not have enough to pay the wager, they will become debt slaves after the battle ends.

    The adventurer guild would enter the mediation process.

    Conditions of victory would be death or surrender. 」

    「Then, let the duel begin!」

    Each party was located 10 meters away from each other and positioned at the starting line.

    Zuan held a big axe in his hand and I took my mythril sword out of my item box.

    I felt the audience stir when I took out my mythril sword.

    As soon as the duel began, Zuan came swinging with the axe.

    But the move was too late.

    It was so slow that I let a yawn out.

    Well, the yawn was a joke but I decided then, how to advance with the duel.

    Although I thought for a moment that I won’t feel bad if I instantly kill him, I thought I should stretch it out.

    After this, I decided to close in with a swift attack.

    I moved beside Zuan in a moment and flashed my sword.

    Zuan’s arms danced in the air and fell to the ground with his axe.

    The arena went quiet.

    I think no one in the arena could understand what just happened then.

    When Zuan came towards me while wielding his axe, the next moment, both his arms and axe fell from Zuan’s shoulders onto the ground.

    Zuan’s mind seemed not to have caught up with what had happened to his arms.

    My voice carried in the quiet arena.

    「Do you still want to fight? If you still do, the next slash would take off both legs, you know? 」

    As soon as I voiced this, Zuan was suddenly aware of the pain.

    「Owwwww, ooowwwwwwaaahh my arms are, aaaaaaaa aaaa!」

    However, it seems Zuan did not hear my question as he burst into tears and collapsed to his knees.

    Zuan’s shoulders were spurting out blood with tremendous momentum.

    I healed Zuan’s shoulders with heal.

    I only closed his wounds and did not reattach his arms.

    I will have to use level 8 light magic if I want to reattach his arms instead of just closing the wound.

    It seems that most of the people with level 8 and up light magic are in the Episcopal State of Elen Garde, moreover, it seems that there are only a few that are EX and S rank adventurers.

    If the wounds were blocked and arms not reattached, they could be cured at level 6 light magic instead.

    Zuan still had pain, but the wounds have been closed over and the confusion has eased a little.

    「I surrender! Please leave my legs, okay? 」

    「Victor, Louis-sama!」

    The guild officials, who had come to their senses like everyone, declared my victory.

    At the same time as the declaration of the referee, the arena burst into cheers.

    In this way, my first duel ended easily.

    Eleanor then gave me appreciative words.

    The 4 people in Zuan’s party yelled and resisted but safely became debt slaves.

    I received 3 platinum coins from the guild and left the arena behind.

    It is unclear whether Zuan can survive as a slave without both arms.

    I suddenly thought about it as the battle ended.

    When I think about it, I wonder what would happen if I lost Eleanor.

    Imagining it brought about pretty bad feelings.

    Given such a feeling, it was apparent to me that even though I have only met Eleanor a short time ago, I like Eleanor.

    Though I thought I could finally get a request, it took a long time to complete the procedures after the duel, I decided against taking a request today, went shopping for groceries at the grocery store then returned to the inn.

    I’ve been working on moving to a new hosting platform that I have created with a team of like-minded enthusiasts. sign up at https://unlimitednovels.com for an account if you want to comment on here.

    -Reckless

    Adventurer Registration


    Eleanor and I left the inn and made our way to the clothes shop without getting lost.
    After entering the clothing store, I told Eleanor to buy six sets of clothes and underwear.
    I decided that I should also buy some clothes, while properly choosing at my own discretion, a sales assistant came up to me and recommended a variety of things.
    Due to the shop assistant being long winded, I sent her away.
    As I chose my clothes and underwear, I thought to myself that it was not good to be stuck with a sales assistant from the previous generation.
    I also decided to buy a scarf for Eleanor.
    I finalised our account, put my clothes in the item box then looked to Eleanor to see how she was doing.
    Eleanor was looking at a variety of clothes with a smile on her face, but it seemed that she was still lost.
    It seems that the longer one was living the slave life the harder it was to choose clothes for oneself, so I guess it can’t be helped? I also thought.
    So I decided to wait for Eleanor to finish choosing.
    After waiting for about 30 minutes, Eleanor apologised for keeping me waiting.
    (TN: What only ½ hr, I’ve been on a marathon 6hr clothes and shoe shopping trip with my wife and daughter before ….)
    After working out the price of the clothes Eleanor chose, I handed the money to the shop assistant.
    Eleanor put the purchased items in her item bag that I gave to her as a present after settling the bill.
    However, I’ve spent a splendid amount of money.
    There is little left of the money that I took from the bandits……
    Should I sell the materials collected from the monsters that I hunted in the dungeon?
    But I use them for production and meals, so I can not sell them all.
    As the two of us left the clothing store, the scarf was wrapped around Eleanor’s neck.
    And because the slave collar was hidden, Eleanor got teary with happiness.
    After waiting for Eleanor to stop crying, we moved to the adventurer guild that was in the immediate neighbourhood.
    When I entered the adventurer guild, I felt eyes on me.
    When I looked around, I noticed a bar out back.
    At the bar, people who look like adventurers were drinking in the middle of the day.
    To the left, there was a group of adventurers discussing something.
    There is a board on which the requests were affixed when moving my line of sight a little to the right.
    Several adventurers were looking at the board, going through the request papers.
    As I moved my line of sight further to the left, there was a receptionist for the adventurer guild sitting there.
    There were five counters, and adventurers were line up in rows at all counters.
    And when paying attention to the gaze from the surroundings, I’m not sure what it is really due to, but I feel that there are many male eyes on a woman, Eleanor.
    I tried to line up in the shortest line and as it would have it the receptionist there was a real beauty.
    However, because I got caught by Eleanor and got lightly pinched, I stroked Eleanor’s head.
    Eleanor gave a lazy smile whilst being stroked by me.
    I was stroking for a while but I could not keep doing so incessantly so I stopped stroking.
    Although Eleanor was lingering reluctantly, I moved up in the line.
    After that, I decided to wait my turn like an adult.
    While listening to Eleanor while waiting, it seemed apparent that the receptionist who was at the reception counter with the shortest was the cutest.
    After the procession of 10 people was done, it finally became my turn.
    「Welcome to the adventurer guild, I’m here to help.」
    As the guild receptionist had a big smile, I admired her a little.
    However, I continued to get pinched by Eleanor, so I adjusted my attitude and started talking to the receptionist.
    「I would like to register for the guild with this child.」
    The receptionist who heard my statement replied with a full smile once again.
    「I understand. Well then, I will explain the rules for new adventurers. It will be long but please do listen carefully.
    In our guild, we issue guild cards to new adventurers.
    The adventurer ranks consist of nine ranks, ranking from EX, S, A, B, C, D, E, F, G.
    The EX rank is the highest, and the G rank is the lowest.
    Registered adventurers will start with G rank first.
    The colour of the guild card differs for each rank.
    EX is black, S is platinum, A is gold, B is silver, C is red, D is blue, E is yellow, F is brown, and G is white.
    Therefore, we can make a judgment of rank at a glance.
    Additionally, due to the remarkably increased ability, EX and S ranks have a large influence.
    Requests types available are urgent requests, nomination requests, escort requests, ordinary requests, and permanent requests.
    The requests are set according to the rank.
    One can receive requests up to one level higher than one’s rank.
    Please let us know at the guild counter once you complete a successful request.
    We will check the guild card here and determine the success or failure of the request.
    Please note that depending on the request, there might also be a requirement for the signature of the client on the request form.
    In addition, in the case of a failure of the request, you will pay 30% of the request fee to the guild as a fine.
    For emergency requests, adventurers who are C ranked or higher it is always obliged to join almost forcibly.
    If you refuse to take on the request, you will need to pay 10 platinum coins as a fine.
    Although I do not recommend it much, adventurers under D rank are also able to participate but they are responsible for themselves.
    Monsters that are subjugated by emergency requests will be registered in the guild card, so there are almost no disputes about remuneration etc.
    The nomination request is sometimes applied directly to the adventurer who is B rank or higher, by the client and is called nomination request.
    Since the nomination request also includes a nomination fee, it is likely to be higher than other requests. Although you can refuse, if you do that too many times, nomination requests can end up ceasing.
    Although the degree of difficulty depends on the content of the request, starting from B rank, it is possible to receive A rank or S rank requests, so you need to check the request form carefully as is.
    Normally the request is stuck on the request board in front, anyone can receive it if it is suitable for their rank.
    Permanent requests are also affixed to the request board on the front, as a way to distinguish them from ordinary requests, it is written always on the request form.
    Do you have any questions so far? 」

    I knew about how the guild works by studying in the library, so I did not have any particular questions, so urged her to continue by saying 「There is no problem. 」
    「Well, I will continue my explanation.
    In order to raise your rank, it is necessary to accomplish the request, accomplishing a request with the same rank as the rank of the adventurer adds one point as the rank points, and accomplishing a request of one rank up gives double points.
    In the case of failure to accomplish a request, it is minus 10 points.
    If the cumulative point falls below 0 points, it will cause a drop in rank.
    Rank points get reset every time the rank goes up and goes back to 0.
    Though points reset to 0, excess points still carry over.
    Also, even if you accomplish a request below your rank, the ranking point that you can get is 0 points.
    From B rank and above, there is an exam to rank up.
    The purpose of this is to prevent people that have no ability to organise parties from raising above B rank.
    G rank to F rank is 20 points.
    F rank to E rank is 40 points.
    From E rank to D rank is 60 points.
    From the D rank to the C rank is 80 points.
    From the C rank to the B rank it is 100 points.
    From B rank to A rank it is 150 points.
    There are 200 points from A rank to S rank, or obtaining an achievement.
    From the S rank to the EX rank is not a point system, but this is decided by a conference when obtaining an achievement.
    Requests beyond the B ranking will be more difficult, and range of the difficulty level increases, so the achievement points will be different for each request.
    Achievement points can range from 5 to 10 points.
    Please note that the number of people that can accept a quest differs.
    The limitations for the number of people is listed on the request.
    Many adventurers work together in parties, in addition to parties, there are mutually beneficial organisations of high ranks called clans.
    When setting up a party, notifying the guild is recommended but it is not mandatory, but contacting the guild is essential when establishing a clan.
    Among the benefits of the clan is, information is easy to get, adventurers are flexible with each other, help is easily available when trouble occurs, etc.
    The adventurer guild is an organization independent of the country, and the country does not have any authority on it.
    Even though countries do not have authority on the guild, the adventurer guild can’t protect against trouble caused by nobles.
    As a reaction to that, as a deterrent, many adventurers move between towns so as to avoid accepting nomination requests from cruel nobles.
    As for adventurers, there are also a lot of people who are rough and adventurers are all responsible for themselves and have to solve their own problems between each other and the adventurer guild basically does not mediate.
    The guild can offer facilities for duels between adventurers.
    Concerning the duel between adventurers, we will decide on the acknowledgment of the dual and the wager value.
    Regarding injury or life and death that occurred at that time, neither attention nor attention from the guild will be done.
    In regards to injury or death occurring during the duel, there won’t be any guild penalty or criminal offence.
    In addition to that, the guild would act as a proxy for bets and collection of betted items.
    If you bring the monster material to the guild counter, you will receive a small amount in the counter as it is, in case of large amounts you will have to go to the dismantling place, convert the material and cash it in there.
    The dismantling place is at the end of the door to the left of me.
    Thank you very much for your kind attention, if you have any questions please let me know. 」
    「Thank you very much, I have no particular questions.」
    「Then I will start creating your guild cards. You will have to put your hand on this magic tool to create your card. 」
    「The information that this magic tool reads is your name, race, age, so please be assured that you can apply your hand with no problems, would you please do so?」
    I was told this by the receptionist and looked at it a square magic tool and placed my hand on it.
    Then when I thought I heard a “bu” sound, a card came out the back.
    The receptionist took it and confirmed the card was valid.
    As I finished, Eleanor put her hand on it and the card came out the same way.
    The receptionist confirmed both of them.
    「Since the card was not defective and it was able to be registered without problems, I will hand it over. From now on Louis and Eleanor are adventurers. Thank you. 」
    I received the 2 white guild cards from the receptionist and left the counter.
    In this way, a new life as adventurers of Eleanor and I began.

  • Fate Comes with Time (Chapter 1)

    Fate Comes with Time (1)

    「Mishima, Mishima-san, I’m sorry. I’m going to have to……. 」
    These are the words used by Etou-kun to shatter my love into a million pieces.

    Ah… I’m so irritated.

    I think anyone who had experienced an office romance will be able to relate.

    Meeting him everyday, experiencing his warmth and kindness, seeing his smile, Etou-kun’s everything attracted my heart, going to work became much more enjoyable .
    Overtime was never boring with him. Actually, I cherished the time we sent walking the dark streets, just the two of us, after finishing the extra hours.

    But all that has now come to an end.

    「Mishima-san has helped me a lot at work, so I feel bad about having to refuse.」
    That’s how Etou-kun declined my invitation to go out on a date.
    I stood there, rock-still, holding the planetarium tickets i just bought today, they were supposed to be given to him.

    「It has always been you who’s treating me, for so many times …… 」
    Yes, I thought we were dating or at least heading towards that direction since we had two meals just the two of us, …I guess Etou-kun did not think so.

    「Besides, my girlfriend would get very jealous……going out with another woman on a date would be bad.」
    Oh…he has a girlfriend! and he’s telling me that only now!!. I guess the relationship between us is that shallow!.

    「It is a very awkward misunderstanding, I’m sorry.」                                                            My voice finally squeaks out, coming out hoarse like a wicked witch.

    「No, I’m also very sorry.」                                                                                                           Etou-kun apologised in turn.

    I showed a little relief as I looked up with empty eyes.
    Ironically, seeing this, he’s starting to relax. As for me, even though I’m still hurting, there is a part of me that’s happy he looked relieved.

    「Well, this……」
    Since it can’t be helped, I decided to give the tickets that I bought to Etou-kun.
    They were meant for him anyways, since he had mentioned before that he wanted to visit a planetarium.

    Even though he had been in the city for  three years now, after finding a job, he didn’t have the chance to visit. I intended on taking and introducing him to the Science Museum. as we did had a conversation indicating that before.                                                   『Why don’t you try going once? It’s well equipped and it’s worth seeing.』
    『Oh, that sounds good, I’d love to go.』

    The memories of such a conversation still remained brand new in my mind.

    Well, he did want to go, but he did not say he wanted so with me. I guess it was my wishful thinking that heard it that way.

    「I’ll give you the tickets, why don’t you go with her? 」
    I said that while presenting the tickets to Etou-kun again, but he still refused.

    「No, that would bad.」

    「It would be bad if they were wasted, at least you can go on a date.」

    「Isn’t it expensive? Don’t you think that Mishima-san should use them for a date instead?」
    Etou-kun said that with his usual gentle, warm smile.

    He did not seem to realise the pain his words made my heart go through.

    I refuse to cry during work hours. So, I just finished the day’s work, did not do any overtime, walked aimlessly through the streets, and before I know it, I reached home.

    I rushed into my room on the second floor of the apartment and went straight to the verandah with my bare feet.

    My room has a small verandah from which the view is not bad.
    「Haaaaa……」

    I did not change out of my suit and just went to the verandah as was.

    As I was feeling the cold breeze of the night on the verandah, I let loose my tied up hair. The view was of the night-lights of houses from the residential area I live in, it was nice and quiet, the numerous warm lights were comforting for someone who lives alone.

    Will this broken heart of mine ever be healed?
    「If you have a girlfriend, please tell me first……」

    As the night scene gradually got blotted out, I closed my eyes tightly.

    I knew that was a selfish demand. Etou-kun was there to do his job, he had no obligation to tell me about his private life. But still, if I had known sooner, my wounds would have been a little bit lighter.

    Why did I have to get carried away on my own?, I even bought him the tickets!, and yet, he only saw me his senior, and treated me like how a junior should.

    Perhaps it was annoying to invite me out for a meal before?. Being his senior, I couldn’t refuse out of good-will towards my junior. Maybe Etou-kun misunderstood my intentions thus he didn’t tell me he had a girlfriend, he did want my help after all. (TN: Her mind seems muddled, the sentences were all over the place and made it a right pain to translate ….)

    The pain of a broken heart can cause one’s mind to fail.

    What am I to do now?. I am way too embarrassed to face Etou-kun.

    I wonder if this is considered as a senior bullying his junior.

    Ah, this is the worst! Now I’ve become an abusing senior who needs to avoid the junior she bullied.

    Although I did not plan for it to happen, I did end up liking him, earnestly.

    「I really liked you……」
    I murmured as tears were falling, I slumped down on the handrail of the verandah.
    It’s good that tomorrow is Saturday.

    I would definitely be troubling Etou-kun if I went to work with a swollen face after crying too much.

    I guess I’ll just cry my heart out now, maybe that will lighten my mood, would drinking help? but that will make me drunk, alone, and I’ll still be crying!.

    While being caressed by the gentle night breeze, I only had those thoughts in my mind.

    「– – Ahh, I’ve finally met you.」
    From somewhere close came the voice of an unfamiliar man.
    As I was face down, I didn’t know where the voice came from.
    I wonder if someone is talking outside…. that’s what my tired mind thought of.

    「Onee-chan, nice to meet you. I’m the one that has moved next door, please have my best regards.」
    My mind kept telling me that those words are directed at me, and yet, here I am, face down, still crying from a broken heart. I told myself I need to answer, but I couldn’t even raise my head.

    「I wanted to give my greetings yesterday or earlier today, but you were away all this time. I’m glad to finally meet my neighbour. Please do not worry because I live alone, and am not noisy.」
    He disregarded my head that won’t raise up and kept talking.

    By the way, the room next door was vacant for about a year now. Did it finally get tenanted?

    As much as I was reluctant, I still turned my head towards the direction of the voice.

    The second floor had four rooms, each one of them had a narrow verandah, and these verandahs were separated by firewalls between the rooms.

    I peeped at my new neighbour’s face from over here, I rubbed my eyes and let the tears spread all over my hands, his face finally began to clear up.

    As I thought, the voice was a man’s.

    His hair was dyed ash blonde with a slight wavy perm gently descending to a medium length. His ear peeked out as the gentle night breeze slowly swirled his hair making it sway slowly back and forth. A sweet smile likely to melt a girl’s heart was gently floating on his face, it matched perfectly with his droopy eyes.

    My first impression of him was… not a salary-man.

    “How old is this person,” I wondered in my mind. He certainly looks younger than me, maybe around twenty-three or twenty-four perhaps.

    The person who had been smiling all along finally realized I was crying
    「Ahhh, I’m sorry. You were having some troubles, weren’t you?」
    After staring at him wide-eyed, I simply withdrew to my room for some reason. However, when I returned to the verandah, I found a thin box presented from the other side of the firewall.

    「Please use this as you see fit. This is my greeting gift to you.」(TN: Hikkoshi Aisatsu, if you want to look up the custom.)

    「Haaa! thank you.」
    I didn’t know what to say, so I just received the box that was tied up with red string. I was hesitant to open it up in front of him, so I kept holding it in my hands.

    「My name is Chrono.」
    He looked towards me and smiled again.
    「I’m a hairdresser. I’m good at listening to my customer’s stories, so feel free to consult me if you have troubles.」

    I was quite impressed with his courage, to be able to talk in such an overly-familiar way with a crying woman he met for the first time must require guts. I wonder if this is due to his profession.

    「No, there is no trouble……」
    I was at a loss for words. Being freshly brokenhearted today, I neglected to keep up appearances and appeared abrupt to my neighbour.

    「It’s just a broken heart. I’ll feel better after crying a little. 」

    「Heeee, Onee-san is tough isn’t she?」
    Chrono-kun said in an impressed tone.

    「It is unlikely for people to be able to say that whilst crying from a broken heart.」
    「Is that so……?」
    I wonder if I was praised?

    Honestly, it would be much more complicated, if it went according to my anticipations.

    I take a deep breath.
    「Ahh… well, it was somewhat of an empty wish.」

    Chrono with a doubtful face asked,「What is it that you desire?」

    「The other party is a junior in the same workplace. So, I have to recover by the end of the weekend.」

    「That’s awkward, isn’t it?」

    「Yeah, it is. Though confessing to him felt a little like salvation.」

    「Ah, maybe you found out that he has a girlfriend?」

    「That…, perhaps it was like that. It is not like I knew he had one beforehand.」

    Before i realize it, i had fluently confessed everything, I was shocked! Why am I talking about such a personal issue with a neighbour I’m meeting for the first time?

    Even though he offered to listen, it was still inappropriate to talk about my problems to a stranger. However, Chrono listened to me with a gentle countenance. He even smiled so sweetly.

    「Well, Onee-san. Let’s do it all at once.」

    「What?!」

    「Of course, your hair. It will give your heart a fresh start, improve your mood and refresh your mind.」

    You truly think so?

    「Did I just fall into work-mode?」he said.

    I couldn’t help but to hook up my lips a bit, though, my smile must have looked terrible. However, just the fact that I was able to laugh now was really surprising, considering the pain my heart was going through.

    「Onee-san’s smile, I’ve finally seen it for the first time.」

    「From the time I had first seen you, I kept on thinking that a short hair would fit onee-san perfectly.」he continued.

    「I’ve never had it short before.」

    I have been maintaining a certain length for a long time since my school days. And because I’ve always liked to style my hair myself, I often tried new hairstyles to find the ones I like.

    Since Etou-kun liked the side-tails hairstyle, I have always maintained that look in his presence. Though now I have no reason to.

    However, cutting my hair still feels wasteful, and will probably trouble Etou-kun once he sees it.

    Let’s just do it!
    「I bet, you are absolutely right」
    Since Chrono is a professional hairdresser I had confidence in his opinion, Isn’t it normal to feel comfortable doing what the hair-dresser recommended?
    It would be an adventure for me, maybe I’ll even be able to clear up this feeling in my heart.

    「But……」, I’m still hesitating.

    「『An unrequited love or a haircut. Which one should you go on with?』                      The old man at work always asks that question whenever a female customer says 『I’m broken-hearted. 』」.

    Actually, a broken heart is often the reason why a girl cuts her hair. Well, not that I care that much…… it’s just……

    「A girl cutting her hair to start anew, that happens often.」
    Chrono replied to my doubts.

    Ah…, I wonder if I should do such a thing?.

    But I guess people often do change their mindsets when they are brokenhearted, So… I think I’ll do it!, the first step to breaking the heavy melancholy I’m feeling is to lighten my head by cutting my hair.

    I want to change my mood.

    I want to change.

    I will have to face Etou-kun again at the beginning of the week, so I need to stop crying forever.

    The feeling of wanting to change had given me the courage to take a big step.

  • Chronicles of a Creative Different World Reincarnation (Chapter 2 Part 19)

    I have been slammed with work lately, then my body decided it was a good time to get the flu… So I apologise for not posting lately, but without further ado, here is the latest part!

    Reckless

    The Beginning of Eleanor’s Strengthening

    – Earth History, February 2619 –

    A week has passed since I started travelling with Eleanor.

    While we continued our journey to the next town, I got Eleanor to attack weak monsters to temper her.

    Thanks to her efforts, it has been effective, I thought that Eleanor was getting stronger although it is a little bit at a time.

    My newly acquired skills are,

     

    【Experience Value Sharing】

    One can share the experience value you acquired with each party member.

    One shares the experience value that is obtained when giving the killing blow with the rest of one’s party members.

    The amount that can be shared is skill level × 10 minutes

     

    【Skill Stock】

    One can stock the skills one has made with creation.

    There is only a single skill level.

     

    【Skill Transfer】

    One can transfer skills to others.

    There is only a single skill level.

    In order to successfully attach a skill to a soul, one can only use it on the same person once every 10 days.

     

    Status Growth speed up: Assigned to Eleanor.

    After that, within my skill stock, there is status enhancement and skill growth speed up.

    Using creation, I tried to make skills to deprive skill and status of demons and people but could not make it.

    This is because skills and status are tied to people and demons who possess those skills.

    When I use creation and when I can not make the skill I want to make, I can instinctively understand why I can not make it.

    That’s how I understand my failure.

    The reason why I can transfer my skills to stock skills is that I made those skills with creation before connecting to them to my soul and because skills that do not have soul ties can be created.

    When I do not stock the skills I made with creation, there is a connection of my soul from the beginning, so even if I acquire a new skill every day it does not matter.

    However, in the case of skill transfer, in order to adapt skills that are not tied to the soul, it can not be used by the same person more than once in 10 days.

    At first, I wanted to transfer status enhancement, but as it was Eleanor’s MP was not enough yet, so I made the status growing speed up earlier instead.

    As soon as she hits 500MP capacity, I’d do the transfer.

    As we continued travelling in that pace and manner, finally the last town of Ustenia came into sight.

    The name of the town is Sumeria.

    This is a city near the border with Midogal, I think that the population is bigger than Dallas.

    It is definitely bigger than Dallas.

    I got close to the gate and queued up in the line.

    The line was pretty long, and if we progressed at the current speed, it will take about thirty minutes.

    Whilst queuing up, I was thinking about registering as an adventurer in this town.

    「Welcome to the town of Sumeria.

    Do you have an identity card? May I take it that the young lady there is your slave being that she has a slave collar?」

    The macho ikemen gatekeeper whose age looks to be around 20 years old, asked for the presentation of an identification card, but I told him I do not have it because I do not have one.

    As Eleanor is a slave, she does not have one either.

    Though even a slave can obtain ID card by registering as an adventurer, I heard that Eleanor was not registered as one.

    Also, with a slave’s identity card, it certifies the slave’s ownership to its master.

    「Otherwise, may I check your criminal record with this magic tool, can you please place your hand here? This magic tool glow red when there is a record of crimes such as murder, robbery, theft, rape, etc. It glows blue if there is nothing. Shall we?

    Of course, killing by legitimate defence is no problem. Since we read the information from one’s soul, one can not hide it.

    Shall we do this together with your slave?」

    When we heard the explanation Eleanor and I nodded respectively.

    Then, I touched the magic tool with my hand.

    As a matter of course the magic tool glows blue.

    It was my first experience so secretly I was a bit nervous.

    「Okay, no problem. Then due to having no identification card, there will be an entrance tax. The entrance tax is five silver coins.」

    I gave one of the gold coins taken from the thieves to the gatekeeper and entered with Eleanor into the city of Sumeria.

    Since it is before noon, I will find an inn first and eat, then I will go to the clothing store and finally the adventurer guild.

     

    Various inns have touts announcing their availability, but I decided on an inn with a bath so I listened out for a tout announcing a good inn with a bath.

    The price is high, but there is an inn with a proper bath.

    I got the tout to take me to that inn.

    Looking at the exterior of the inn, it seems like a pretty impressive inn, it was a brick three-story building.

    「Welcome!」

    When entering the inn, a rotund middle-aged lady was at the counter.

    Furthermore, looking at the inn, it was quiet and the atmosphere was good.

    I decided to stay here.

    「So, there are 2 guests. We have 2 options. there are two single rooms for four silver coin per room per night and a double room for 6 silver coins per room per night. In the double room, you can choose between twin and double beds. Breakfast and dinner are not included in the price. The meal times are from 6:00 to 10:00 in the morning and from 18:00 to 23:00 in the evening. You will get charged extra if you are late. A meal costs a single silver coin. Since the bath is attached to the room, please use it freely. I will charge the hot water magic tool when requested, there will be no cost to you.」

    As Eleanor is a slave, I guess it OK for her to share a room with me.

    However, as for the bed, for the sake of my rationality, we will have to go for the twin option.

    For the charging of magical power, there is no problem.

    「It will be fine, I’ll charge the tool with magical power myself. I would like a double room with twin beds for 10 days. I also would like a meal for now, so can I have 2 meals please? Is in total 62 silver coins? Here are, six gold coins and two silver coins please confirm it. After our meal, I would like to go to the adventurer guild and a clothes shop, I would appreciate it if you would direct me there.」

     

    I took out the money taken from the thieves from the item box and handed it to the lady.

    「Your calculations are fast, the amount is exactly right. The room upstairs and it is Room 202. The meals will be right over, please sit there at that table. For now, it is the same menu as breakfast, white bread, sauteed orc and stew.

    When you leave here, turn right at the crossroads, go straight for a little, turn left and the adventurer guild would be on your left. Because the big signboard with the mark of a sword and shield stand out, I think that it is easy to understand. The clothes shop is 5 shops down on the same side.」

    I thanked the lady for the directions to the clothes shop and the location of the adventurer guild, I decided not to go to the room because we had no baggage in particular, then I went to the table that the lady pointed to.

    When I got to the table and sat down, Eleanor sat on the floor, so I rushed up and got her to sit on a chair.

    I explained that I would be happy if Eleanor does not sit on the floor when having meals with me in the future.

    I don’t want anyone sitting on the floor whilst I was eating at a table ……

    As the meal is being brought, we eat white bread with the stew.

    And because the orc meat was a little light on the flavour, I used my trump card, yakiniku sauce (Japanese BBQ sauce).

    Eleanor wanted some sauce as well, so I put it on for her.

    With that, the meal was delicious.

    This was definitely a luxury inn here because the average inn that I looked up at the library was five copper coins for a night.

    A bath was necessary and it would be unpleasant if the meal was not delicious either, so even though it was expensive, it was good here.

    We finished eating, so I decided to head to the clothing store and the adventurer guild.
