I hurriedly close my eyes against the strong light.
　A few seconds later, I opened my eyes and saw a street that reminded me of a back alley in Europe. I saw it on ......, a TV travel program. I've never traveled abroad.
　I've never traveled abroad.
　I'm not sure what to make of it, but I think it's a good idea.

"Natsuki?
YUKI?　--I'm so glad... We're together now.

　I hugged the person who hugged me with a relieved and almost tearful face.
　I was sitting next to him on the bus, so I hoped that he would be close to me, and I'm glad I stuck to his side of the human spirit!
　To be honest, I would have been very nervous if I was thrown out here alone.

I'm so glad. I'm really glad. ....... You're not at ......, are you?
Yes. ...... I was seated away from him. ......

　I'm sure you've heard of it.
　I'm not sure if you've ever heard of this, but I'm sure you've heard of it.
　I'm sure you'll be able to find a lot more information on this topic at .......
　I'm sorry.　I'm not sure what to say.　I'm not sure what to make of that.　Explode!

YUKI?　What's wrong?　Are you worried because Yuu's not here?
No, I'm fine. I'm fine. I'm fine.

　I hurriedly shook my head as Natsuki looked at me with a look of anxiety on her face.
　Hmm... Watch out. I was about to fall into the dark side.
　But which one is Yuu's true love?　I'm not sure, but I think he's closer to you than me. .......

I'm sure you'll be able to figure out which one is your true love.
I don't know.　I'm not sure what to say.

　Oh, that's right. That's right.

I'm not sure what to say.　I'm not sure what to make of it.

　I love you, Natsuki, for answering me.

I'm not sure what to say.　I'm not sure what to do with it, but I'm sure it'll be fine.

　I'm not sure if this is a good idea, but I think it's a good idea.
　If it's someone you like, you might be a little more reserved. .......

I'm sure you'll be able to figure it out.
Otome no Shin: ......
Yes, the maiden mind. ...... Yu, maiden, heart. Hmmm?　There's something different about it.

　I'm not sure what to say.
　I'm not sure what to make of this.
　At least as far as we know.
　She's more of a cool girl. The type that girls like.
　Fortunately, we're good friends with Shang and his friends, so we haven't had too many girls of that type come to us.

That's not true!　This is not the time for such girl talk!

　Oh, that's right.

No, no, I was trying to get Natsuki to regain her composure, yeah.
I don't think it was like that. ...... Oh well. It seems that there are no other acquaintances ...... in the vicinity.

　I took a quick look around, but didn't see anyone I knew, let alone anyone who looked like a local.

Let's move to the main street and go into one of the stores to discuss it.
"That's a good idea, but is ...... okay?
"Mmm-hmm. Don't worry!　I have the common sense of another world!

　I had an extra 5 points at the end of my character makeup, and I was wondering what to do with them, and I found a good one .
　I took it because I figured it would be useful for cross-cultural communication, which is more than just going to a foreign country!
　I'm sure you'll find it useful as it will help you communicate cross-culturally more than just going abroad!

No, I think it's nice that you chose that, but it's not that, it's the money.
"...... Oh. Oh, no!　Oh, no.

　I'm sure you'll be able to figure out the price, but it's useless if you don't have the money!
　In this case...



Yeah!　Sell me something.
"What?

　Natsuki held out her hands.
　The clothes are of a kind of poor cloth, like those worn by commoners around here. There's no luggage.
　Thanks to this, you won't stand out, but you also can't sell things from your original world to get money.

If I had at least kept my clothes, I would have had a hand mirror in my pocket or something that I could sell. ......
You can find a lot of things in the pockets of these clothes. ...... Oh, Yuki, there's something in the pockets of these clothes!

　I'm sure you'll be happy to know that I'm not the only one.
　I hurriedly searched my pockets and found 10 of the same coins.

This is a big silver coin!　Let's see, ...... there's about 10,000 yen worth, enough to get you into the cafeteria!　The price of regular food is cheap!

　You can have a normal meal for about the price of a bowl of beef.
　On the other hand, luxury goods are very expensive.
　On the other hand, luxury goods are very expensive because of the lack of distribution.

Let's get going!　Natsuki. Let's have a strategy meeting over tea!
Wait a minute.

　As soon as I started to walk away, he pulled my hand and I stepped on my foot bellows.

I was about to walk out when he pulled my hand.
I'm sure there's some common sense in other worlds, so I don't think we'll be ripped off or go into any strange places.
No, not at all. Money. It's not like that.　That's all we have, you know?　Can you manage until you get some income?　I'll put up with the tears for the clothes ......, but you'll need lodging and food, right?
......... That's right.

　In the event that you've got a lot of money, you'll be able to use it to pay for a lot of things.
　The cost of lodging and food alone is so high that if other things are needed, the margin will be even smaller.
　When I explained this to Natsuki, including the actual cost of living, he sighed heavily with a sullen face.

This is not the time to sit down in a store and talk about it. This is not the time to sit down in a shop and talk about it. Anywhere that seems safe is fine, so let's talk about it there. This place is like a back alley, so I'm a little nervous.
"Yeah, I guess so. Well, even if it is a back alley, it is not so dangerous, but let's go out to the street.

　It's not a slum, so I don't think it's dangerous enough to be attacked out of the blue, but it's definitely not very public.
　I walked towards the street with Natsuki's hand in mine.

　　　　I'm not sure what to do.

I'm sure you'll agree that it's a great idea.
Yes, that's right!

　It seems that this town we've been transported to is a small port town built on a river.
　One side of the city faces the river, and a port was built there.
　The harbor and the city are separated by a little distance, and the space between them is like a square.
　Maybe it's a buffer zone for when the water rises.
　That's the kind of place Natsuki and I chose for our consultation.
　You don't want others to hear your conversation, but you are worried about going to a place where you won't be seen.
　Here, we have a good view, and if someone approaches, we can see them and they can see us.
　Besides, if we're sitting together, it looks like we're just looking at the river, which is not so suspicious.
　Not a bad choice, right?

So, how can I check your skills?
Well, first of all, people in this world are not aware of their skills.
"...... What?　We got the skills, didn't we?　And yet?
"Yes. That's what my common sense tells me. Maybe the evil gods let us choose our talents because we're transferring in the middle of our lives?

　There is no magic in the original world, and on the contrary, there are skills that are useless in this world.
　If you're transferred with the same specs as before, you'll have to choose between someone who worked hard at sports and someone who studied English hard. Even if you can use English, it will be of no use to you in this world.
　Perhaps they thought of that and let us reassign our abilities in the form of acquiring skills.

But that's a problem. I don't remember all the skills. ......
I think I remember most of them.

　I don't remember all the skills, but " "Do I remember most of them?" "No, because I couldn't get most of them because of [skill copy].

I remember ...... the help and about half of the rest. ...... Oh, wait a minute. ...... I see.

　I can't remember the other half, but I remember [help].
　I'm not sure if I understand what you mean by "I see".

What's wrong?
"Yuki, it seems you should say status.
"What?　What?

　I don't know anything about it.
　How does Natsuki know that?

Because I took [Help]. This is a skill that allows you to get some advice... So, Yuki hasn't taken [Help]?


"Uh-huh.

　Natsuki's face suddenly changed color and she said in a panicked manner.
　I'm not sure what to do with it.
　I'm sure it's useful to be able to get advice when you come here like Natsuki just did, but I have the common sense of the other world, so I don't need it, right?

I'm not sure what to do.　I'm sure it's useful, but I have the common sense to know what's going on in the other world. I'm sure you'll be happy to know that I'm not the only one.
".........

　Perfectly.
　What is it?　I'm not sure.
　I'm not sure what to make of it.
　I'll protect you too, Natsuki.
　I thought I was in trouble, but I'm actually in a lot of trouble?
　Looking at Natsuki's face, it seems like she's really serious.
　I can feel the blood drain from my own face.
　Oh no, I'm getting dizzy.

Yuki, calm down. Please tell me your skills in terms of status first.
"Yes. Status. --Huh?

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
　Name: Yuki
　Race: Human (17 years old)
　Status: Healthy
　Skills:.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

　The status-like things showed up, but nothing in the skills.

"Hey, I can't see any skills.
"......What?　That can't be ...... what?　My skills also disappeared ...... and returned?　Bug?

　The moment Natsuki said that, my skills also appeared.
　It's like the website took a long time to load.
　I'm not sure if it's a problem with the internet or if it's a problem with the internet.

I wonder if it's something to do with the thin connection of God's net. So, the first thing to do is to go to ....... Yes, that's right. First, can you tell me about Yuki's skills?
"Let's see...

　I can't seem to show you the status screen directly, so I'm going to read it out loud.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
　I'm not sure if it's a good idea, but I'd like to know.
　[Magical Qualities, Fire] [Magical Qualities, Water] [Magical Qualities, Space-Time] [Magical Qualities, Space-Time
　【Earth Magic Lv.1】 【Stubbornness Lv.1】 【Insight Lv.1
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This is a questionable skill set, but it seems that there are no other dangerous skills.

　I'm not sure what to make of that.
　I was relieved to hear that.
　If you had told me that they were all dangerous skills, I would have seriously despaired.

I'm glad it wasn't [skill robbery]. If you're a copy, it depends on how you use it.
"Because robbing is like stealing. Copying is also a bit on my conscience, but I think it's better.

　I thought it sounded really useful, but it's still a little bit like stealing someone's hard work and talent.
　I was quite upset about the robbery because it required less points.

Thank God. Yuki's conscience saved her life.
...... Is that so?
Yeah. I'll explain it to you in detail later, so please don't use [Skill Copy], okay?
I won't use it if you say so, but not now, but later?

　If you're going to say that you saved my life or something to that extent, I want you to explain it to me right away. .......

I have more important things to do first.
"Huh?

　I was caught up in the seriousness of Natsuki's words, so I asked her back with a serious face.

First, we're going to take a walk along the main street of the city for about an hour.
"What?　What, a walk?　Are you sure you heard correctly?


"Yes, it's a walk. I'll explain later, but for now, can you trust me?

　He wasn't wrong.
　What was she thinking, that a walk was important in this situation?
　If it hadn't been Natsuki who said it, I would have ignored it, I swear!

I get it. I'll just walk with you?
Yes. Since we're here, let's talk about the common sense of this world while we walk.

　Natsuki smiled happily and urged us to walk around the city for an hour or so.

　　　　I'm not sure what to say.

　--A man.

　The moment my vision came back, I looked around quickly.
　A square somewhere. Some square. Some otherworldly streets.
　I hurriedly jumped into the back alley and hid in the shadows.

　To get ahead in the other world, it's all about getting a head start.
　It's also a matter of how well you do it without being spotted by your classmates.

　Because that's what it's all about, isn't it?
　Classmates with cheat skills are dangerous opponents no matter how you look at it.
　The most dangerous of all is [skill robbery].
　The skills that you have gained with your points will be taken away from you.

　I wanted to get [Double Experience], but I didn't have enough points to get it if I took the Robbery, and some of my classmates might take it because it seems useful.
　If you can get it from them, there's no problem.

　Since appearance is also a skill, you can expect to become beautiful by taking them.
　I don't understand what you mean by appearance being a skill, but since you can get it, I guess that's what it is.
　That's why I chose to spend all my points on [Skill Robbery].

The best target would be my classmates. They should be close by now.

　It is almost certain that they have useful skills, but they may move to another city after some time.
　You can rob people indiscriminately, but it's hard to imagine that a cheat skill like robbery has no restrictions.

It was not mentioned in the description, but it is possible that ...... could be resisted and only one person could use it once, or a limit on the number of times it could be used per day?

　If so, then we can't use it for nothing.
　If you can't use it, and you run into a classmate who has it, you're done.
　If you meet a robber classmate when you are not available, you are finished.

The best policy is to use your classmates first.

　Since they almost certainly have useful skills, they're like bonus characters.
　In addition, if you're not good, you'll have to fight with other classmates for it, and the fact that it appears only once is also something like that.
　I'd really like to go look for him right away, but I can't make a move if there's a chance I'll find him first.

If it has shifted to the vicinity, there is a high possibility that it will come to a place like this plaza instead of walking in a back alley with few people. Now we wait.

　I muttered quietly and observed the area from the shadows for a few minutes.
　Two familiar women appeared a dozen meters away.
　They were ...... Shido and Furumiya.

　It's a group of girls who often hang out with Azuma and the three of us, and they are very popular among the boys.
　I'm not sure what to make of that.

　Well, both of them are good natured, so they are not really hacked off, but only teased.
　But things change when you're in a different world, don't they?

It's too bad Azuma isn't here, but it's just as well. Let's start with those guys.

　To put it bluntly, it would be very difficult to survive in this world if you lose your skills.
　When that happens, you can help them out with a few kind words.
　I'll get stronger and stronger.

Just make him dependent on me and he'll be fine. This isn't Japan, so eventually you'll be able to buy slaves .......

　You know how to use your skills by feel.
　I look at the two of them and use my skills.
　--Immediately after, my consciousness was enveloped in darkness.
