I used the magic I showed the other day to help in harvesting in the fields too much and I pa.s.sed out . When I first showed it to the villagers, they were so surprised . Five to six fields was my limit on the first day but today, I suddenly got eight . It seems like it was favorable because itâs much more efficient than mowing by hand . Of course, since the harvest season is busy, our school is on break .
I feel mentally tired . Is this magic power exhaustion, I wonder . Iâm not sure if the amount of magic power is fixed . Iâll try to ask sensei later . This isnât a game where I would level up after defeating enemies so I havenât been thinking about raising my status . I went into a shallow part of the forest but I have only seen rabbits or any other small animals until now . Rather, I have goblins as my cla.s.smates . Itâs hopeless in various meanings to raise my level .
ăGiyahahahaha . Thanks to you son that this year we were able to finish a week earlier!ă(MC Otousan) ăThatâs right, my son wouldnât be able to think of something amazing!ă(Random Villager) ăn.o.body would have thought of using magic for agriculture . Itâs normally used for attacking after all, right?ă(Probably Suzuran Otousan) ăăăGiyahahahahaăăă
Theyâre considerably drunk . I havenât even had a drink ever since I came to this world, d.a.m.n it . Aah~ . Well, itâs fine if the adults are enjoying themselves .
After the harvest has finished, Fig-sensei kept on loudly repeating âPlease let the children know that school would resume starting tomorrowâ in the village square .
While I was still feeling languid, I arrived at the usual meeting place . Even though I waited for quite a bit, Suzuran still didnât arrive . It canât be helped . Iâll go pick her up .
ăIâm sorry as usualăŒ . And also, thanks for that time during harvestă(Suzuran Okaasan) While she was saying that, I saw her preparing the usual tea . Iâve been thinking that theyâre just afraid of the just woken up Suzuran, arenât they? It hasnât caused me any harm yet so I donât mind . It seems like Ichii-san is still asleep . He was drinking like thereâs no tomorrow with dad yesterday after all .
I knocked as usual . If sheâs already awake and I enter while she is changing clothes, when I look back her fatherâs there, Iâd be at the brunt of his bloodl.u.s.t and would be sleeping with the fishes . Itâs scary as expected and I was having cold sweat on my back . I get to see her disheveled state when I wake her up though . I donât know why itâs bad if sheâs changing clothes .
ăIâm coming inăŒă I called out and there was no response as usual . Inside her room, I peeled off her futon and shook her shoulders while calling out to her . Lately, Iâve only been needing 30 seconds to wake her up . Itâs frightening that Iâm getting used to this . I need to think up my next hand* if I want to wake her up without peeling off her futon . What should I do? [*TN: Iâm not sure if this make sense but next hand as in next move]
Ah, sheâs starting to wake up .
ăMorningă ămnăŒă
I shouldnât leave this room because sheâd just go back to sleep . Iâll be watching her closely until sheâs completely awake and is getting up . Suzuranâs starting to regain focus . Her b.r.e.a.s.t.s are joggling about as usual . Since sheâs wearing such shabby clothes, it becomes loose when she gets up and her dangling b.r.e.a.s.t.s can almost be seen so I make sure not to look as much as possible . Still, it hasnât grown at all . Even though there are girls who are already big and girls who are starting to get big from our cla.s.s⊠Even though Ricoris-sanâs figure is great, Suzuranâs height is the only thing thatâs growing . The future of her figure is already hopeless . Iâm not really particular about breast size . The person herself doesnât seem to mind and has no complaints about it . Iâd probably answer that if I get asked as her childhood friend but I havenât been asked by the girls in cla.s.s .
If Iâm forced to sayâŠâŠ
Perhaps calling it a washboard would suit it well .
If we exclude the ribcage, then itâs an ironing board .
Could you see her groin area if you roll up her shirt until can see her navel and slide off her short pants? Well, I havenât seen that area yet so I wouldnât know . HmmăŒ Iâm going off topic⊠[TN: This whole paragraph is probably wrong]
ăAre you awake? If so, Iâll be waiting for you over thereă ăâŠâŠnnăŒă
I was drinking tea I received at the living room . ăWas that magic taught to you by you teacher?ă I was asked . ăRather than being taught, I came up with it myself . Teacher told us to produce our own image so I made an image of a really thin and sharp blade of wind . ă ăn.o.body would have thought about using magic for something other than attacking . Weâll count on you again next year, okay?ă I was asked while being teased a bit so I had no choice but to say âOf courseâ . Well, I think if it continued that way, I could just cut her off and change the topic . It would be an embarra.s.sing story though .
After a little while, Suzuran arrived while absolutely not minding her ruffled hair . ăI can goă She said it weakly said that as usual . âItâs a shame her really silky and glossy black hair . â is what I thought but itâs a mystery how it suddenly got fixed just a bit before noon .
And when I came to school for the first time in a while, I was thanked by everyone in cla.s.s . It started from Birke-sensei but even other teachers started praising and thanking me . The only reason was because âIt became easierâ .
During a short break between cla.s.ses, I was unexpectedly called out by the leader of the âthree idiotsâ . ăWhat is it, Wurst(ăŽă«ăčă)? Itâs unusual for you to call out to meă ăWell⊠I guess . We are not really good with magic so we want you to teach us a bit . When we asked sensei, she just told us to âImagine . Use your own imaginationâ . ă ăAhăŒ, un . I guess she said something like that, that senseiă ăAnd since you can use all of the attributes, we decided to ask youă ăThatâs fine . Letâs have lunch first after school then meet at the village square afterwards . Iâll guide you to forest where I frequently do some special training . ă ăSo you do something like a special training . Then itâs decided, weâll eat lunch at our homes first then meet at the village square!ă
After they said that, they were going back to their usual spot when they started shouting âYouâre teaching us, okay!â . Was I able to properly convey what I said?
Wurst is a goblin but heâs different from the image of that monster because he can surprisingly speak . Heâs not short and simplistic either . Heâs something like a leader for the three idiots . Heâs very helpful so I think heâs a good person . The other members are Shinken(ă·ăłă±ăł) the Orc and Speck(ă·ă„ăăăŻ) the Kobold .
Shinken is an orc but heâs a half elf . He takes after his mother so he has a pretty clean and well proportioned face . Itâs different from the image where a half orc half elf would only be conceived because the elf was raped . Or rather, itâs completely different from the image since his orc father is really well-mannered . He was the first to worry about me when I was recklessly using magic while helping with the harvest . Itâs only in this world where beauty and the beast are a real couple . Thereâs a clear difference between monsters and demons right! Thatâs just one of the mysteries of life!
Speck, who is a Kobold, looks exactly like a golden retriever . It doesnât matter who, he gets along with everybody in cla.s.s . n.o.body could hate those droopy ears and that silky hair . To be honest, I want to mofumofu him . I want to buy an uninhabited island and make a kingdom with those people(golden retriever kobolds or maybe dogs in general) and go âAah~ yoshiyoshiyoshiyoshiyoshi!â Well, Iâm not rude so I wonât do it though . I would think of them as cute regardless of whether itâs a man or a woman . Whenever our maid uniform wearing janitor Toryapka-san(ăăȘăŁăŒăă«) sees her prey, she frequently gets those carnivorous eyes . She doesnât have a lot of self-awareness but older women are my type . By the way, she has horizontal ears on top of her head . [not sure about this whole paragraph, itâs kinda random] And it seems like Toriyapuka-san is a .
I heard about it in a conversation with Suzuran about what type of eyes are appealing . The guys bond by playing but Iâm not sure what the girls do . Are they talking actually talking about who they like in cla.s.s after all?
Now then, would I get any compensation for doing this?
I excused my self after our meal by saying âIâm gonna play with my friends in the forestâ . ăAraăŒ thatâs rare . Donât go in too deep okay?ă I was only asked to be careful . Well, thatâs better than her being strict and always saying ânoâ .
I was surprised that I was late when I arrived at the village square . Do they act quickly since thereâs no concept of time here? Well, thatâs enough about that . ăThen, letâs go . Itâs the forest to the south of the village so weâll walk there . Itâs just a bit after noon so it wonât take that much timeă It will take approximately 15 minutes . You can see the forest from the edge of the village . Because I take this path everyday, it became something like an animal trail so there are no more weeds and the obstructing branches were cut off . We entered the forest and after about 5 minutes, arrived at the river that I use when I drink poisons .
ăThis place is where I train . ă
I use it frequently so it I increased the convenience . I placed a large stone on the streamlet to divert it so that footwear wonât get wet . I made two simple couch/bed by making A-shaped frames using three thick branches tied up with vines . For my throwing practice, I placed boulders at approximately 10, 20 and 30 meter distances as targets . There is a flat, palm-sized stone that has changed into an odd color because of the poisonous plants . And for magic practice, I made a 3x3x0 . 2 meter stage using earth magic to harden the soil .
ăThis place is amazing . Itâs pretty convenient and comfortableă(Wurst) ăThatâs trueă(Shiden) ăAmazingly amazing!ă(Speck)
Their appearance is close to that of an adult but their mental age canât catch up . Iâm not sure if itâs because they are demons⊠or itâs just because theyâre guys so their actual mental age is low .
ăI havenât planned to use fire yet so I havenât made fire reflectors, wind barriers and furniture made of stones and logsă
As the boy scouts and those who are into survival say, âAlways be prepared . Youâre foolish if you arenât . â They say that knowledge isnât the heavy kind of wealth . Iâm personally experiencing and am making full use of the knowledge I learned during a long vacation in my previous life . By the way, I also like survival games . I would also like to add a roof to this A-shaped couch if possible . The problem is that the me right now cannot hunt so my current meals are only wild plants, bird eggs, fruits, snakes and frogs . I want protein from animals⊠In other words, meat! [TN: Iâm pretty sure snakes and frogs and heck, even eggs are animal proteinâŠ] I feel like itâs easy to use magic but I think itâs a bit different when actually using it . I want to rely on my own skills rather than with magic but thatâs just my pride talking . Using my knowledge from my long vacation, I donât think that I would be able to hunt large wildlife . I havenât had such an overwhelming experience so I wouldnât know what to do .
ăWell then, should we start practicing magic? Letâs start with water because itâs easy to imagine . Is there anyone who is good with water magic?ă Everyone shook their head .
ăThen, can you go to that streamlet over there and try scooping out some water?ă
Everyone scoops up water in order to wash their faces .
ăOkay, letâs try to use this image . Itâs actually quite simple . Just imagine it like when youâre gathering water at your hand to wash your faceă
They all let go of the water in their hands and closed their eyes while concentrating . I wonder if theyâre imagining water gathering in their hands . Then, at that moment, Shinken shouted joyfully .
ăOoh, I felt something cold in my hands . Water has appeared on my hands!ă As expected from a half elf, his magical apt.i.tudes is surprisingly high .
The next one is Speck . ăItâs true, water did come oută He was shaking his tail so hard, I thought it was going to come off . Itâs really easy to read what he is thinking . I really wanted to mofumofu him and pat his head but I held back on that urge .
The last one was Wurst . âIs their raceâs magic really strict?â is what I was thinking when, ăSo this is magic! Itâs really is!ă He was somewhat excited and in high spirits . I guess he is really glad . Well, the next one is fire or light I guess . If in case they get lost, they will have light and water and they would be able to burn things . With this, they would be able to survive at least .
ăSeriously, Thanks . I thought I would never be able to use magic but I was able to do ită (Wurst) ăIâm glad that you are our cla.s.smate . If itâs possible, I want to become friendsă(Shinden) ăThanks!ă(Speck) I was a bit happy that each one of them were thanking me in their own way . ăWith this, everyone can safely drink fresh water . You see, unboiled water is dangerous . I would even want to boil water from that beautiful streamletă
I asked what attributes they can use on our way home . ăI couldnât use all of them . I though I could not since my parent canât use magic and we are pure blooded goblinsă(Wurst) ăI can use fire and wind . I guess Iâm better with wind . ă(Shinden) ăEarth dayo!ă(Speck)[TN: used dayo because it gives off an image of a cute kobold being smug]
I guess itâs true that a lot of goblins canât use magic . Elves have an image of using wind and earth since they live in forests . I wonder if orcs can easily use fire? It seems like kobolds match their image of being good at earth magic .
This is my honest impression . Itâs been five and a half years since I came here and there are still a lot of things I donât know .
It seems like these three idiots consider me as their friend so I also told them in return âAa! Weâre friends!â
Iâm sure that Iâm going to have a somewhat inseparable relationship with these guys .
