9 Episode 9: Another World Quest is the scent of reality.txt






Are you sure? No, I'm flattered, but this could be the key to getting your memory back, you know?

Oh, yes.

 Ah, yes. Not yeah.
 I didn't think at all about the fact that I shouldn't give away my possessions so easily even though I'm in an amnesia setting .......


 But well, ......, it's not actually amnesia, so that's fine!
 Let's just say that's the kind of person you are now, and you'll understand!


'I suppose so. I don't feel anything with it at the moment, and that's fine. I think it would be better if we could get our memories back a little at a time.


 Shero-san accepted the knife without pursuing it further, either because he was satisfied with that in a manner or because he surprisingly wanted the knife.

 I was wondering if my quest would be cleared by accepting the knife.

 Suddenly, me and Shero-san start to shine.
 And my vocation board that emerges.

 And .......


 Poof.

 And with a small, creepy sound, the vocation board turned into a cute, palm-sized fairy. Seriously. Calm down.

It's nice to meet you. You look like an idiot. Here's the gift that comes with it. It's no need to take care of it, but apparently there are a lot of people who keep the Spirit Stone of Hazimete as a souvenir. See you. I hope you will continue to do your best for the world and for the spirits.

 Poof.


 ............ Huh? 
 What are you doing? Daydreams or something like that?
 It's not a dream because it's like a blue stone in the palm of your hand.

 I looked at Mr. Shero as if to ask for help. There was a stone similar to mine in Mr. Shero's hand. ...... What do you mean?


Mr. Shero, what was that?

 He acknowledged the stone in my hand and hugged my shoulder as he said.


'Oh, Jirou achieved your guidance too, congratulations! I've just achieved mine!

'What? What does that mean?


 With an excited Shero-san at her side, Rebecca explained in detail.
 When you achieve the guidance, the celestial board will take the form of a spirit, and that spirit will give you a stone called a 'spirit stone' as a memento of your achievement. These spirit stones are considered to be the blessings of the Great Spirit itself, and even without the fact that they look like jewels, they are sold for a very high price.

 Therefore, when people are guided by a spirit, they will try their best to "achieve" that guidance.

 The reason why Shero-san also had a spirit stone in his hand is because he also achieved guidance, and that guidance is, after all, ......, a quest that originated from where I met him! Nah. It's true that they said they were just following your guidance or something, though. ......


I'm sure you've been following ...... that's right. Hmmm.


 I was starting to laugh somewhat at my own purity, apparently feeling a subtle disappointment that it wasn't his gratuitous goodness that had saved me.

 I didn't think I was the type of person to worry about that, myself.

 And ......, the results are actually fine, and I'm the one lying about my amnesia. And I'm hiding the fact that I have a unique job.
 It's not the right thing to say, though.

 It's a good thing that I'm not used to this kind of thing, but I've been losing my mind in this unfamiliar world.
 It's not important to me all of a sudden. ...... Anyway, I wanted to go back to Japan immediately.
 I'm not sure I'll be able to do anything about it.


...... So, thank you very much for your help. I will visit you again when I get settled. So long.

 With that, he turned himself around and left the store to run away from the two of them.

 No, I actually ran away from them as fast as I could after I left the store.

 I heard Rebecca-san behind me saying something like, "Hey, wait a minute," but the more I was stopped, the more I couldn't stop anymore.

 I was dominated by a feeling I didn't understand.
 I ran and ran and ran and ran, and at once I got to the street, and from there I ran without a break to reach the mirror mansion.


 That was how he returned to his room after a day.




 ◇◆◆◆◆◇




 I came back to my room, gave my mother a reasonable excuse for my unannounced overnight stay, had a cup of coffee, and settled down to normal now.
 I wonder what in the world is going on. It is understandable that you are too weak-minded to run away from something like that, but that doesn't mean that you are going to do anything about it.

 Right now, I have gold coins, spirit stones and guild cards on my desk.

 I've decided to put the matter of running away from Shero-san and Rebecca-san on hold for the time being in my mind. With my numerous part-time experience, I could afford it.
 ...... I'll go back to say hello when I've calmed down a bit more and can chew out those feelings in my mind.


 Finally, I'll think about my future business in another world.

 Right now, the funds I have on hand are 10 gold coins in the other world. I also have one spirit stone that can be exchanged for money. The Japanese yen is 870,000 yen, which is the tiger's seed that I've been diligently saving up.
 I'd like to use this money to start a successful business: .......

 However, when it comes to actually starting a business, it's hard to do without someone or something who knows what's going on. It's a good idea to have a bodyguard in case things go wrong.
 There is a vocation for swordsmen, so you could train as a swordsman over there, but it's said that the raw art of warfare is a source of serious injury. It would be better to avoid it.
 I do want a sword, though.

 The best way to protect yourself would be to hire a mercenary, wouldn't it? But mercenaries, too: ....... Something about being betrayed and busted afterwards! I have an image like that.
 Rather than mercenaries, I'd rather have a priest working part-time. It would be fun to say, "This is just part of the job," or something like that. It would be fun.

 --I don't know. Elves.
 It's good for business, but I'll have to check out the elves. I don't know how many elves live in the city, but I'll have to find them and make friends with them. If you want, you can flick a gold coin or two at .......

 Ha! It's not good.

 Anyway, I'll go to Priestess's and ask her about the information on elves and take some pictures. I'll make some bromides and sell them over here. We could sell about 10,000 copies.

 Ha! It's not good.


 Also, we need to think about the base of operations. It may be fine for now at the Kagami no mansion, but what about the rights to the mansion? I'm not sure about that kind of thing in other worlds: ....... I'll have to ask Toby about it sometime.
 And I'm going to live as a newlywed with an elf: .......

 Anyway, it's time to set up a foothold in another world for the first time. I'm sure making money is easier over there, and we have more money to work with.

 The activities over here will have to wait.


 ...... No, wait.
 Let's start by sowing the seeds over here .......


 When I stood up my computer, I built a thread on my favorite giant anonymous message board.

 My mirror is connected to another world.

  1 : The Nameless Fairy
    I woke up this morning to find that the mirror in my room was connected to another world.
    Any advice?
