3-002 We're here, other world! (1)

When my vision returns, I'm standing in a meadow.

As I look down, I see my hands, which have become slightly slimmer.

I look to the side and see a beautiful elf who is checking out her body just as I am.

Blonde hair, long hair.

I feel a certain familiarity with her face, which is definitely a beautiful girl, just one step ahead of a beautiful woman.

"Well, are you, are you Haruka-san?

Is that you, Nao?

"Yes, that's right.

I nodded my head in reply.

I'm not sure if it's the same thing, but it's definitely a different look, but it still has some of Yu's vibe.

He is a little shorter than ......?

It's a good idea to take a look at the website and see if you can find anything you like.

"What?

I'm not sure if he felt my gaze, but he narrowed his eyes and looked at me.

Your voice is a little low.

No, no, you've become beautiful.　You're an elf, after all!

I hurriedly shake my head and change the subject.

I shake my head and turn away.

You're not human, are you?

"Hmm... You're an elf too. --It's just as I thought.

He says this and averts his gaze.

His cheeks are a little red, so maybe he's embarrassed.

Yeah, I don't usually call my childhood friends 'beautiful'.

I know you guys are good friends, but you should care about me a little bit too!

A voice called out from behind me, and when I turned around in a panic, there was a beastman?

It has dog-like ears on its head and a bushy tail on its butt.

The face is ...... Ah, this is easy to recognize. It's Tomoya.

The eyes are a little sharper, but it's almost the same.

"Oh, Tomoya. What's that?　A dog?

It's a wolf!　As a kemona, I have to choose a beast!

Tomoya puffed out his chest and happily moved his ears and tail.

Yeah, he's that kind of guy, isn't he?

I personally don't know who would want a male beastman, what do you think about that?

"Hmm. I strongly agree with that. But!　What if beastmen can't marry other species?　You'd give up?　No!　I can't pass up the chance to get a beast-eared wife!

Tomoya asserts with a lot of force. It seems that he chose his race with more thought than expected.

I'm not so sure about that direction, though.

No, well, I understand a little bit how you feel.

The "beast-eared wife" is a bit intriguing.

"Hmm, so Tomoya came with you.

I'm not sure what to make of that.

What's up? Did I interrupt you?

I didn't say that. --I need a shield.

"Hey, did you just say shield?　Did you just say "shield"?

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. I'm counting on you, wounded warrior!

I'm not going to be able to do that.

I think I heard a suspicious comment, but I'm sure it was just a joke to lighten the mood, yeah.

But we're childhood friends after all. But we are childhood friends.

"Oh. I could sense that you knew each other.

Yeah, I guess so. We've spent a lot of time together, that's for sure!

The two of them nodded at each other as if it was obvious, and I hurriedly followed suit.

I can't tell!

I can't tell you how much I didn't know until you pulled me in!

"Yeah?　I know, right? There are no other people around who look like ...... classmates, so let's just be happy that we're together.

I'm sure you'll be happy to know that we're together.

I follow his lead and look around, but I don't see anyone I know, not even a shadow of a person.

I can see farther than before thanks to my eagle eye skill, but all I can see is grass and forest, and the rest is just wild birds.

Is this unfortunate? Is this bad luck?　Or is it good luck?

Let's call it a blessing in disguise. It doesn't change the fact that you were in an accident, so there's no point in being negative about it.

Sighing, I shrugged my shoulders with a wry smile.

It's a bit of luck for me.　You've got the possibility of a beast-eared wife!

I'm not sure if I'd be able to do that if I didn't come to this world.

I'm not sure what to think of my parents, but I'm sure they're still dead even if they didn't come to this world.

If we don't agree on this, we can't work together. If we can't agree on this, we can't work together.

"Oh, yeah, right?

I was planning to act together with my childhood friend unconditionally, but it seems that Yuu is a realist.

Real lives are at stake.

"Well then, ......, 'take care of your life'. Yes, recite!

And then he pointed at us.

"What?

Wasn't this supposed to be a policy meeting?

He repeated it again, ignoring our confusion.

"Cherish your life!

"Value your life!

I don't want to be a hero!

I don't want to be a hero.

"Steadfastness is the surest way!

"Steadiness is the best shortcut!

"Master Yu is absolute!

Wait, wait, wait!

Wait a minute!

I almost said something strange.

I'm sure you've heard of it.

I'm sure you're not the only one.

Well, let's go with a policy like that. You don't object, do you?

It seems that my protest was simply brushed aside.

Well, it's always like this, so I guess it's just business as usual.

I don't mind. I don't mind, as long as I can find a wife with animal ears and live a quiet life!

"Me too. I mean, I can't imagine leaving you guys.

I'm too nervous to be alone in a strange world that I don't know anything about.

I'm not sure what to say, but I'm sure you'll understand.

I'm not sure what to do. Well then, good!　Then let's check each other's condition. If we're going to survive here, we need to work together to ensure our safety.

"Right. Let's see, is 'status' right?

Whoa!　It showed up. I guess that's it.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Name: Naofumi

Race: Elf (17 years old)

Status: Healthy

Skills：【Help】 【Spear Talent】 【Magic Qualities, Space-Time System

【Spear Art Lv.2】 【Avoidance Lv.1】 【Stubbornness Lv.2

Eagle's Eye Lv.1] [Stealthy Footsteps Lv.1] [Spotting Lv.1

Perception Lv.2 (Trap Knowledge Lv.1)

Space-Time Magic Lv.2 (Fire Magic Lv.1)

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The name is in katakana. In kanji, it's Naofumi.

Isn't there a numerical value for the ability?

There is no such thing as HP, MP, STR or DEX. And level.

Yeah. I think it's better if the status and skills are displayed.

They nodded their heads, staring into the void, as if to confirm.

The state is now 'health'. If this is a poisonous or cursed condition, it would certainly be useful in a way. You can treat it as early as possible.

Incidentally, Yuu is not much of a gamer, but since he is a good friend of Tomoya and I, he sometimes accompanies us, so he has some knowledge of the game and does not seem to feel uncomfortable.

What's important is your skills. First, [help]. You've got this, right?

Of course.

I guess Yu got it too.

If it was 5 points, I might not have taken it, but 20 points is like saying 'it's important'. I was worried about the high price.

What?　You guys took that?　You can at least make a character without it, right?

--What?

It's not like you didn't get it.

I'm not sure what to do.

It's not good, it's not good. If you're not careful, you're in big trouble!

"Tomoya!　Tell us all about your skills!

"Yeah, yeah, I get it. ......

I'm not sure what to do, but I'm going to do it.

[Sword Talent] [Swordsmanship Lv.3] [Charge Lv.1　

[Roar Lv.1] [Evasion Lv.2] [Robustness Lv.4

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

...... Alright!　No mine skills!

I'm sure you'll be able to find something that works for you.

I'm not sure if it's a good idea, but it's a good idea. I had to give it up in tears.

No, you're right not to take it!

You're right!　Your weird obsession is unusually useful!

Watch out!　You're not going to die, but you're going to have a hell of a time!

"Oh, really?　It's not that I'm competing with you, but...　It's not like we're competing.

It's a trap!　It's a trap! It's a huge trap!

The two of us took turns explaining the minefield of additional skills, and Tomoya's face grew darker and darker as we listened. .......

"MA-JI-DE!

I shouted.

Like a certain Munch.

"What?　What?　If I choose the wrong skill, my life is almost over!

"Right. I'm sure the guy who thought it was a bad idea and took [Robbery Skill] is already dead.

That's right. That's the only thing that could kill you instantly. I don't know the skill structure or average level of the people in this world, but if you use it against me, you'll die instantly.

I'm not sure what the average skill level is, but if you use it against me, you'll die instantly..." The skill will be returned, so only my lifespan will be extended without any disadvantages.

The fact that all the skills are unconditionally taken from you is, in a sense, malicious.

I'm sure you'll be able to figure out how to get the best out of it.

Scary!　Super scary!　That's the evil god!

I'm not sure what to say.

Yeah, I know the feeling. I screamed in my heart when I first saw it after getting the help.

"But I think he was pretty nice. But I think he (?) was pretty nice, you know?　I'm sure you'll be able to figure out the best way to use it. You chose a cheat-like skill on top of that, so in a way, you deserved it?

"No, that may be so, but you know what? I don't know.　There's no benefit to it.

Yeah, that's true.

I'm not sure if this is a good idea or not, but I think it's a good idea.

I'm sure you'll be able to figure out why.

I'm sure you'll be able to find something that works for you.

I'm not sure about that, but I'm pretty sure he said 'hard work never fails you', so maybe he doesn't like it when you try to make things easier?　And isn't it still better that you can get by with hard work?　Other things can't be helped by effort.

That's a very ungodly thing to say.

If you try to have fun, you'll be forced to work many times harder than others. It's kind of ...... god-like strictness.

You can hardly get any skills.

It's a good thing that you're not the only one who can't afford to pay for it. You can't get most of the skills.

I'm sure you're right. It's not uncommon in science fiction to be wiped out by a disease to which you have no resistance.

What?　Was [Robust] really that important?

Oh, Tomoya doesn't have any help, right?

I'm not sure what to make of it.

I'm sure you'll be able to do the same.

In the description, it says, "There may be an unknown disease. I saw that and took it, too.

You might build up a tolerance, but it's better to not get sick.

"There's no such thing as unemployment insurance," Yu mutters.

That's right. There is no national health insurance and probably no life insurance.

If you can't work for a certain period of time, there is a high possibility that you will die. We don't have any guardians we can rely on.

Oh, yeah!　I'm glad I saved it.

Tomoya was relieved to hear that.

I'm sure you didn't think about illnesses from the word "robust", but I'm sure you can handle most illnesses with Lv 4.

"Okay, now for my skills. It's like this, but--
