15-Episode 14 Negative? Positive?



'Bright, it's morning already... it's getting hot...'



 In an oasis in the desert, I began to live with a beautiful woman and a beautiful girl.
 It was already a little hot when I woke up as it was getting light.
 It was cold at night, but it would be hot again while the sun was up, and life in the desert would begin.

'Maybe I'll make some breakfast,'

 Unfortunately, my two roommates have close to zero housekeeping skills, so I'm going to make breakfast again this morning.
 So the moment I was about to get up from my bed, I realized that I was feeling heavy.

'A lot of things have happened and you're tired? Did you catch a cold in the cold weather? No!

 I hurriedly peeled off the blanket that replaced the quilt and found Miu Miu's face sleeping comfortably on my chest.
 Apparently, it had been entered last night.

'The world may have changed, but there are still bold girls like this.

 If this was a young man, I might have been upset, but I'm a slightly withered old man.
 

''Miu-san? It's morning.

 Gently calling out to her as she slept, she quickly woke up, perhaps an occupational hazard of being a hunter.

'Good morning, Taro. It was so cold last night that I had to go under the covers.

Okay.

 It's not like the temperature conditions in the tent have changed since I was gone....
 There has been a warming machine for a long time.
 But I'm guessing that Miu Miu was cold and actually slept with Larabell-san?
 Then, since I was next to Miu Miu, you could say that I sleepwalked into it........

''No, that's not true. Mew, how jealous you are of me in the midst of the hustle and bustle.

 I found myself looking down at Lalabelle, who was looking down at us.
 That was fine, but I couldn't help but notice her large breasts anyway.
 I thought they were big even through her armor, but when you take off the armor, they look even bigger than they already are.
 And since she's wearing a skimpy nightgown without any underwear, it's going to be visible through it.

''Larabell-san. That pajamas, but don't you have a more proper one?

This is the most expensive shop in King's Landing. You complain that it doesn't look good on you anyway, but my brothers are princesses and they insist that I wear this expensive stuff.

 A princess wearing a scantily clad luxury negligee in a desert oasis.
 It's a bit surreal.

'Huh? Lalabelle-sama usually only wears a normal shirt and trousers, don't you? I mean, you were dressed like that last night before you went to bed, right?

Really? It must have been Mew's imagination.

"No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

 If you hate it so much, you shouldn't have done a negligee for your sister.
 You're a king who doesn't understand well.
 Maybe he was aiming for a badass thing that sometimes adores cats and seems surprisingly nice to you?

Do you want to appeal to Mr. Taro with a dirty negligee like that? I was once told by some nobleman's idiot son that I looked 'like a bumpy cobbler's back' in that style!

'Ugh! That's what 'stray dog belly on the verge of starving to death' and that's what Miu Miu tells me from the same aristocratic idiot son?

Mr. Lalabelle, that's not something we can say to each other!

'Mew told you first!

 Ms. Lalabelle has a super plump body that shows where it comes out and retracts where it retracts, but when I think back to the maids of the royal castle, many of them looked like 100 busts, 100 waists, and 100 hips.

 There was a time when plump women were still celebrated in certain parts of the earth, even in old Japan.
 For the sake of mental health, I'm going to assume it's the same thing.
 It's not quite my cup of tea, but....
 In short, by this world's standards, Lalabell-san's bouncy body would be ridiculed as looking like a bumpy, uneven cob frog with a big bump on her back.

 I think Ms. Miu Miu has an age-appropriate style, but that's only by Japanese standards.
 In this world, he's been told once that he looks like a stray dog that's too skinny, on the verge of starving to death and has an abalone bone sticking out of his belly.

'Please calm down, both of you,'

How's it going in your world, Mister Taro?

I'd love to hear that, too.

"Well, you know...

 I'm a little too embarrassed to go into the details, but I had to try hard to explain that the overly plump women in the King's Castle were not my preference, and that I preferred their style to that of the two of them.
 It was also embarrassing, but I didn't want Mr. Mew to get into my blanket without permission.
 Because at my age, I'm like a young man who's been attacked by the morning physiological phenomenon like a young man.

 Did my body get younger as a result of coming to this world and working out?



So, here's what we're going to do.

'Oh! You're so serious all of a sudden.

'Mew, I've always been serious.

'I don't think any serious person would tempt Mr. Tallow with a skeletal negligee.

Serious seduction.

... (Seriously, temptation...)



 Breakfast was a simple matter of soup with sandy lizard meat and vegetables and some leftover bread, and then Larabell told me about his plans for the future.
 It's nice to be a nuisance here, but it's universal that those who don't work shouldn't eat.
 So I decided to ask him what I should do, because there is no such thing as social security in the world, and the useless ones are dying in the wild.

 Because Lalabelle is the lord of this oasis.

'Mr. Tallow is a cook.

 The kind of housework I can usually do, since I've lived alone for so long.
 Because of their disappointing skills, it's naturally decided that I'm in charge of cooking, and we only take turns cleaning the tent and taking out the trash.
 As for laundry, I do my share of the laundry by myself and Lalabelle-san and Miu Miu-san do theirs together, so the rest is up to you to decide what to do.

By the way, how long have Lalabell-san and the others been here?

Maybe three months.

 That was about two months before I was summoned to this world?

What do you do here in the meantime?

 For all that, this oasis is not maintained in a way that makes it easy for humans to live in....
 It's just that they set up a tent and assembled a hearth?

We have more time than we need. You've been hunting sand beasts, mostly sand scorpions. Mew.

We've raised the bar quite a bit, haven't we?

Yeah.

'Huh...'

 I really feel sorry for the two of them because the king sent them to an island here, but they don't seem to be enduring it at all.
 They're not called dorks like Wangdu, and they're both robust and well-bred, but they don't suffer from this real life in the field.
 Is this another benefit of leveling up? 
 

'With such a tough environment, the higher the level, the better.

I agree with you.

Is Mister Taro still a bit low on the totem pole?

Um ... do you understand?

 I was told that the level displayed in the palm of your hand is something that only you can see........

"Yesterday, Taro-dono told us about the 'Interdimensional Warehouse'. Normally, it's our custom to hide not only our levels but also our specialties. If I had learned my specialties when I was training in the King's Capital, I would have learned them from the military officer who instructed me.

 Surely, that Major Sander would have told me to 'hide it'.

' I had a feeling that he would.

'I thought you were so thoughtful that I didn't have to tell you, but you told me properly yesterday. I thought it was not a good idea to hide things from your people because you were prepared to live here with us. Isn't it?

No, Lalabelle, you're right.

''Then it makes sense to teach you my specialties. I've learned 'Sword Sage' and 'Level Search'.

''Does 'Sword Sage' mean that it's above 'Sword Technique'?'

''That's true. I've heard that the 'Sword Skill', the 'Sword Saint' and the 'Sword God' all go up in that order, but the 'Sword God' is only one person per thousand years. Even the 'Sword Saints' are valuable because it is said that only one in a million people have a 'Sword Skill'.

'Swordsmanship' possession is the most common of all weapon handling skills.

 It's not that you don't need to have "sword skills" to use a sword, but it's still not as good as having "sword skills".
 If you are a "swordsman," then you are a tremendous expert in swordsmanship.
 Really, why did the king exile Lalabell-san to this island?

'I'm not that strong, so I'm jealous of you, Lalabelle.

 Swinging a sword in a splendid manner.
 It's a situation that any man would love to be in at least once.
 Unfortunately, I had no talent for swords, so I used a spear with a long reach as a weapon.
 By the way, I didn't even have a 'spear technique'.

''The 'Level Search' can tell you the level of others, right?'''

That's right. Taro-dono is on level 123 now.

He's right.

 You can see the level of your opponent.
 That's a huge advantage over not knowing.

If you know their level, at least you won't be caught off guard.

'That's gratifying. It's just not as useful a skill as it sounds.

 Why is it not so useful to know the level of your opponent?
 That's because the way each person's level rises and their level of growth is completely different.
 It was not uncommon for a level 10 player to be stronger than a level 100 player.

''Basically, though, people with higher levels are tougher.

Because you're trying that hard?

Yes, I'm very careful with people like that.

 But it seems like the nobles and the rich might be able to get to a higher level just by leveling.

''Both are equally troublesome. Because royalty and nobles are basically people with excellent basic abilities.''

 It's no wonder that they're married to each other in that kind of bloodline.
 I've heard that there are many nobles and their children who sit on their talent and have no real combat experience due to repeated easy leveling.

''That's a good rule of thumb. However, level 123 in just one month after coming to this world is astounding.''

 Unfortunately, my only real-world experience is with sand large lizards and sandworms.

'There are only about one in a hundred hunters who can kill multiple sandworms by themselves. Most of them are specialized in sand lizards. Taro-san is indeed a 'change agent'.

 He may be more awesome than the average hunter, but I think he's not talented enough to be a 'change agent'.
 That's probably why the king almost killed him.

''But not yet.''

Okay.

 I certainly don't consider myself that strong, either.
 After all, I've lived a life that has never been a part of the rough stuff until I came to this world.

'Am I capable of fighting the Sand Scorpion?

'I don't know. I think I'm okay on the level. But, but.....

 So if my growth level was not good, there's a chance that I won't be able to beat Sand Scorpion at my current level?

''Alright! Leveling!

Leveling?

 Continuing on from King's Landing, we'll be leveling here as well.......

''There's another way to try it out, letting Taro-dono fight the Sand Scorpion, but it would be dangerous if something were to go wrong.

There is only one life.

 I can't help but feel a little overprotective....
 And I'm a good old man, so I'm bothered by being turned into a misogynist.

'People, if you die, it's the end.

'You should try fighting after you've reached a certain level.

'I'd appreciate that, but...'

 I have one major drawback.
 That is, if you join the same party as me, the sand beasts you defeat will disappear and you won't be able to catch any materials.
 Secondly, you also won't get the divine coins that you get from defeating the sand beasts.
 You can't level unless you're in the same party, and if you're in the same party, the materials of the sand beasts you beat and the divine coins you would have gained would be zero.

 As a hunter, I don't think any of them would be this annoying.
 I explained the situation to the two of them.

''I see. If you defeat the sand beast, it will disappear and you won't get any materials or divine coins.''

From what I've seen in the material, it's a trait that hasn't been present in any of the previous 'change makers'

 Apparently, I'm the only 'change agent' that can cause such a thing to happen.

''Therefore, I'm wondering if it's bad for the two of you who have gone to the trouble of defeating them for materials and divine coins.

 It must be hard to defeat the sand beast and still get zero rewards.
 Especially since we live in an oasis like this, it should be better to save up some divine coins.

''Taro-dono, there's no need to worry about it.

''That's right. If you only defeat the first one normally, the rest of them don't need any other materials or divine coins, right? Lady Lalabelle.

Yeah.

But not in this situation.

 Because we live in an oasis with no one else, we have to save up for the unexpected.
 I think that's crisis management.

'That being said. I'm not going to spend any money here.

'The peddlers don't come, and I'm sure His Majesty won't look good if we leave.

''And the ingredients. We don't have an 'inter-dimensional warehouse' like Taro-dono does, so bringing one home once in a while is enough to eat.

''The levels will go up, too. The dead Sand Scorpions will be food for the other Sand Scorpions, so it's not a waste of time.

So don't worry about it.

'Let's go! To leveling!

'(They're two awesome positive people....except for the fact that it has to do with their looks...)

 I was put on a small sand flow boat owned by Mr. Larabell that was placed in this oasis and headed for the mass habitat of the Sand Scorpion.
