Chapter 2 : Goddess Tutorial
Translated by Siv
Edited by Travistann
I tried to look around.
Apparently, I’m in a forest now.
Let’s scan through what I have now.
A camouflage top and bottom, a pair of trekking shoes,an orange jacket and a hat.
I also have my favourite gun, the old Remington M870.
In my pocket…… I have 17 sabot slug bullets.
Now, backpack.
Hunting knives and a Swiss army knives, some ropes, plastic bags, gloves, spray paint cans.
A bottle of water in a plastic bottle and a few sweet bread for me to snack on.
A chocolate bar and an emergency insulation aluminium sheet. A binoculars, Maglite, gas lighter, my wallet.
Some tissue, several washcloths, a nikon laser length measuring meter range finder…
My permit to own a gun and a pest extermination worker’s card issued by the town in my chest pocket.
A Solar digital with a compass on my arm and a mobile phone in my trousers pocket.
I have to walk in the mountains, so I have to be waterproof and tough.
Tch, my cell phone.
It’s no good, it’s out of service.
I tried switching on the compass of your watch.
…… Do you know the north, south, east and west?
Using my radio now……
Shoulder radio (*1).
“Hello, Is there anyone?”
Maybe it’s all my dreams only, maybe I’m still in Japan.
“This is Nakajima, this is Nakajima. Please respond. This is Nakajima.”
No reaction.
“Hello, Nakajima …”
“Yes,I can hear you loud and clearl!”
“Wow!”
I was surprised! Isn’t it the voice of a woman!
“This is Nakajima. May I know what is your situation now?”
“This is Nanotes!”
“Mr. Nanotes …. Wait…the goddess?”
“Yes! I’m in charge of you from today! I’m the goddess of this world!”
Uwaaaa, It’s warm! The atmosphere is completely different, though!
But, I don’t feel like that, you know I!
“Why are you so excited …”
“No, I’m glad to think that another world person has finally come to my world.”
“Isn’t it more like you’ve abducted him?”
“Come on don’t be a meanie. I’ve brought you back to life.”
Really…I died huh. I guess I must be more careful now…
“If you have any problems, please contact me with wireless okay?”
“No wait, the battery will run out if I use it so much.”
“I’ll try to make them rechargeable!”
“That’s great, but I hope you can make it into a mobile phone anyway.”
“Your phone is out of range. No one else can call you with it too.”
“Just please make it useful like a mobile phone.”
“Hey, do you know how much infrastructure I need to develop in order for you to be able to use your mobile phones? I will need to build antennas here and there and make relay stations and nationwide… Whatever, I don’t care. Mobile phones were prohibited in the world ! ”
An old school rule huh……
But, she sounds like a kid complaining about not wanting to do her job.
“Because there was a case where a smartphone was brought into another world before and everything became ridiculous.”
“I don’t need to know that.”
“Then,at least listen this carefully. I’m going to give you a tutorial.”
“Yes…”
What a forceful Goddess …
****
According to the goddess, this is a European-style world, where there are kings, aristocrats, commoners, and races other than humans, and they all coexist. Is that it? A world like a fantasy movie huh…
And there are monsters, and they are in conflict with humans.
I see…
“Maybe you can think this as a RPGs for games or things like other worlds of anime”
No, I don’t think so.
“I was never interested in those things, so I don’t have any knowledge about it.”
“T-then, what kind of game did you play during your lifetime?”
“There aren’t much games I played… They were mostly racing games and biohazards at my friend’s house …”
“What is your favorite anime?”
“Hmmm, I like anything if it’s Ghibli. I think the best anime is Laputa, the castle in the sky.”
“What is your favorite action movie?”
“Die Hard or Terminator series. I also like aliens and predators.”
“Ah……Zzz…It’s a hassle to explain to you…”
“No… what do you mean by that…?”
…….
Suddenly, the radio has stopped coming in.
Not long afterward, a buzz came in.
“Hello, Mr. Nakajima, well I will pass you some of  the essential ability to live in another world!”
“Yes”
Cheat added.
“Now, I’ll explain what is your cheat!”
“Wait what? What cheat?”
“…Well, to put it simply, it’s a special ability that people in this worlds don’t have.”
“Hah?”
“Could you please recite the word “Magic Bag”
“Magic bag?”
Pon!
A yellow bag came out in front of me!
I hurriedly hold it.
“That’s your cheat ability”
“You mean a bag?”
“The yellow bag is just like a black cat, isn’t it a wonderful and versatile item?”
“How would I know!”
“Now, please take a look at the inside”
“…It’s empty.”
“Please put in the money”
“No way… This is something fishy”
“It doesn’t matter if it’s Japanese yen, dollars, euros, gold coins or silver coins in this world, or any money. It will be automatically converted.”
“Then… 500 yen”
I take out a 500-yen coin from my wallet and put it in.
If this is really a different world, then money is the most important thing one have to have.
“And close your bag and say out the things you want.Ermm…something like a gun bullet.”
Yeah. Just try that.
Hmm, I now have only one gun and seventeen bullets in this world. Then…
“Federal, Sabot slug, copper, 12 gauge 2.3 / 4 inch”
“Next, try and open up your bag”
…… A familiar bullet shell was found in my bag …
My favorite gun, Remington M870 half rifle, with scope.
I usually attach a smooth bore shotgun barrel to foxes and popinjays, but for deer stalking I replace it with a sabot slug rifle barrel.
The feature of M870 is that the barrel can be easily replaced. The entire barrel can be removed by simply loosening and removing the end cap at the end of the magazine.
That said, it’s a half-rifle barrel with more than half of the rifling cut by Japanese law. If you do not do this, you will not be allowed to possess it as a shotgun. I’m sorry.
The barrel itself has a scope attached with a cantilever (* 2), but if it is a deer that is not moving up to about 50 to 100 m, it can be hit somewhere first. Deer are big.
I wonder if 150m is still impossible with my skill …
Unlike regular slug bullets, the bullets are wrapped in a plastic sabot that cuts into the rifling and is shot while spinning. Therefore, the accuracy of hit is higher than that of slug bullets.
The problem is that the bullets are high.
It costs 500 yen per shot. It wouldn’t cost 100 yen per shot with a normal shotgun …
Oh, by the way, the shotgun bullet is easily distinguishable from a normal bullets.
“See! It’s amazing, isn’t it! You can shop anything with this given if you have the money!”
That’s amazing …
Oh wait, there is change. A one dollar bill? No, there are two …
Why dollars? Is it $ 3 a shot? In Japan, it’s a bullet that costs 500 yen per shot, right?
“I see. Thank you. May I ask if I can shop for anything with this?”
“No, it’s something you can clearly imagine, and it has its own limits. Currently, your weapons … only guns are almost unlimited.”
“It’s an embarrassing limit … Can I use a cash card?”
“Hmm … alright then!”
“Yes, thank you”
There is only about 20,000 yen in my wallet …
I wonder if I had brought my savings, which is about a million yen.Well, I was saving money to buy a mini car.
Well, everyone have to save money in Japan or else, when you have no income, you would be penniless within half a year. That is just the reality.
“Now, Mr Nakajima, please recite” Magic Bag “”
“Magic bag”
……The bag has disappeared.
“How is it?”
“It’s amazing. It’s like magic.”
“Because it’s magic”
“Is there magic in this world?”
“Yes and it’s normal”
“Can I survive with just a shotgun in such a world?”
“Well, I can’t really tell until you try it.”
Tch…Such irresponsible goddess…
“The magic bag is bottomless. You can put anything in it. You can throw in anything that gets in the way or you don’t use it. When you want to take it out, just call it out with your mouth and the bag will appear. “
“That’s convenient!”
I felt really happy. Maybe I could do something more with this.
“So what should I do from now on?”
“Think about it yourself. Now, that’s all from me. Bye!”
Whaaaaaaaat——–! !!
―――― Author’s comment ――――
* 1. wireless
Amateur radio has long been used in hunting, but is now being replaced by digital simple radio in accordance with the law prohibiting commercial use. You don’t need a call sign, so you can call them directly by name.
* 2. Cantilever
Since the M870 shotgun does not have screw holes for attaching the scope, the main method was to attach it to the engine as a separate part, but that would be troublesome when replacing the barrel, so extend the scope mount directly to the barrel and braze it. The method of attaching is the current mainstream. In this case, even if the barrel is replaced, the scope remains attached to the barrel, so the scope error can be minimized.
A certain police have put a scope on the pump action shotgun and it is made into a story, but there are many slug hunters who are actually doing it, including the main character of this novel.
