8-007 Arrived in the city (4)

After returning to the inn from the Adventurer's Guild, we were resting in our respective beds.

We were able to get a rough idea of what we would be doing tomorrow.

It's not an optimistic situation, but it's a step forward just to know that if we work diligently every day, we can make a living without camping out.

Of course, there's always the possibility that I might get sick and not be able to work, so we'll have to increase our income little by little.

But is it okay for Haruka to stay in the same room with us?

Yeah, what?　Toya, are you going to attack me?

I'm not sure what to do, but I'm going to do it. I can't believe it! But she's joking because her cheeks are loose.

Of course, Toya understands this, so she smiles and says something back.

No, it's not. Even childhood friends have to be a little careful, right?

"Well, that can't be helped, since we don't have any money. You can't help it, you don't have any money. Let's be patient and be careful with each other. ...... Ah~ but ......

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

I'm not sure what to say.　What is it?　I'm not sure what to say, but I'm going to say it.

I've been under a lot of stress since I arrived in the other world.

It would be better for the future if we could agree on what we want to say, even if it's a little difficult to say, rather than getting frustrated and exploding.

"Well, ......, try to keep your own power generation to a minimum, okay?

"Self-powered ......?　Oh, no!　What?

That was harder to talk about than I thought!

No, but you guys, you know, you accumulate, right?　I'm not sure what to say, but I'm sure you'll understand.

I'm not sure what to make of this, but I think it's a good idea.

It's hard to be understood like that! No matter how much we've known each other since childhood, there's no way we can ask each other to leave the room for a moment to do something.

Toya and I looked at each other awkwardly and cleared our throats.

If you notice something, it would be nice if you could pretend not to notice it.

Boys can be quite sensitive too.

"Yes, of course!　Yes, I'll do it naturally, naturally!

I'll be natural, I'll be natural!" Haruka said in a bit of a panic, but no, it's probably impossible. It's Haruka.

But one thing!　But one thing, don't go to those stores!　It's very dangerous!

"...... Oh, STDs are dangerous. Oh, STDs are dangerous. There have been many in the past.

Syphilis, for example.

I'm sure you've heard of it.

You may not have the same disease, but you should be aware of the risk of some STD. You can't be sure that you won't get infected even if you have the "stubbornness".

Especially Toya!　You can't have a cute girl with animal ears!

I'm not going!　I want to be loved!　I want a pretty wife!　It's not a direct connection to the lower half of my body!

"Really?　That's fine. --Oh, by the way, beastmen don't go into heat, so don't worry.

Oh, okay. ......

I'm not sure what to do.

Hmmm. Hmm. Talking about such things between heteros*xuals is awkward.

Let's change the subject.

What did you think of the story I just heard at the guild?

I didn't bring it up on the way home because I was worried about people's ears, but I was quite curious about it.

It was a bit of a forced change of subject, but I guess they didn't want to go any further. They immediately came to the conversation.

"You're talking about the case where people died, right?　Hmmm, the poisoning case?　No, you said there was no trace of it. Otherworldly magic, maybe?

Twisting his head, Toya says a ton of nonsense while keeping a serious face.

Did you even listen to our explanation at the beginning?

No, it's your classmate. Isn't it true that you used the skill robbery and ran out of time?

I'm glad I didn't take ....... If I had 200 points, I probably would have taken it.

I clapped my hands and said such a foolish thing.

You didn't remember it clearly, did you?

That's a pretty important point.　You didn't see the description of that dangerous skill yourself?

If you're talking about the guild's sister, what we know now is that four or five people are dead?

Yeah. ....... Hey, how many people do you think are taking it?

I'm sure you've heard of it, but I'm not sure if you have.

The required points are 80, and our initial points are 120, 150, 200.

If the initial points were based on athletic ability or academic achievement, we would have been above average, if I do say so myself.

Even taking that into account, we all probably had at least 80 points.

So, everyone can get it if they want to.

I'm not sure, but I'm sure half of them would have taken it if they wanted to.　It sounds like a cheat, and the boys would love it.

Hmm. Toya's guess is half.

But I'm thinking a little less.

You know that thing called "skill copy"?　If you have a few points to spare, why don't you take that?　People who don't want to stand out or get in trouble.

In the event that you're not sure what you're looking for, it's possible that you'll be able to find it on the internet.

The rest is just how thoughtful they were .

I know that about a quarter of them thought of "the whole class transferring to another world" when the evil god said that.

That is to say, they must have read some of those novels and thought of cheats by stealing skills and doubling experience at the same time.

The words of the evil gods, the skills of the [help], and other necessary points make it seem suspicious or not: .......

Also, I don't know how someone without such knowledge would have made the character.

And it's not necessarily because they don't know that they're going to take [help].

In the short term, the skill robbery is advantageous, and in the long term, the experience doubling is advantageous.　In reality, though, they're all mines. The other additional skills may not kill you instantly like the skill robbery, but they're still bad, right?

The hero/heroine quality is really just a troublemaker. If you don't have the ability to get through it, you're just unlucky.

I'm not sure what to do.　It sounds like a pain in the ass.

There are a few mine skills that affect not only the person who has them, but also the people around them.

To put it bluntly, I don't want to get close to them. And it seems that Haruka was the same way.

I don't mean to be unkind, but you should try to stay away from your classmates, not just those with [Charm] or [Hero/Heroine Qualities]. No matter how you look at it, you can only expect to get into trouble.

It's a good thing?　Haruka's friends might be there.

I'm not sure what to make of it, but I'm sure it's a good idea. Besides, I'd like to think that none of my friends take [fascination] ...... . I'm not sure what to make of this, but I'm sure it's a good idea.

I'm not sure what to make of that.

In the event that you've got any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us.

I'm sure they're taking men, too. "It seems like they're taking men too, like a harem. The description of [fascination] makes it sound like yandere, stalker mass production.

I have a little desire to be popular, but I don't want to use [Charm] even if it's free.

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

I'm not sure what to do, but I'm sure you'll do fine.

So it's not a crime if no one finds out.

If there's no one to sue, there won't even be an investigation.

In the game, you could enjoy the mined jobs and skills to a certain extent, but in real life, ......

"In a way, my classmates are literally mines. In a way, your classmates are literally mines, because you don't know what their skills are, you don't know if they have mines, and if they don't, you get caught in an explosion.

Toya, you're good at that, aren't you?　It's inappropriate.

But we agree, don't we?　The qualities of a hero are exactly the same as "Stay away!　Danger! And...

I don't care if you're from my hometown, you can't risk your life for a mere classmate. I hope you'll be happy far away from here.

I know that sounds harsh, but I agree with you. Toya and I nodded deeply.

We're not saintly enough to help people selflessly.

"In fact, how long do you think Haruka will survive?

"I don't know. ......1 About half in a month?　Maybe even less, depending on where we move. Not all of them came near this town. In addition to the skills listed above, there are also mine skills and mine races, so if you choose those easily, you can ......

Hmmm. I'm a classmate, so I have a fair number of friends, but a lot of them will probably die. I don't really feel it though.

If they died in front of me, I might be upset. .......

I'm not sure if I'd be too upset if they died right in front of me, but I'm sure I'd be upset if they died right in front of me." "Well, the careful people who took [help] and the serious people who didn't think about cheating will survive, so there will be opportunities to interact with them eventually.

You mean you won't go out of your way to find them and protect them?

We're not in a position to talk about protection from above, are we?

That's true.

You're right, we're in no position to talk about protection.

The only decent weapon is a wooden sword ......, or more like a club.

You can't even get a private room in a hotel.

It's a good idea to take a look at your own personal life and the way you live it.

And then there's ...... the question, are there any slaves or anything?

"That's a bit of a stretch. It's basically banned in most of these countries.

Basically, ......?

I don't know what's wrong with the way you said that.

I frowned, and Haruka waved her hand in denial.

Oh, there's no such thing as slave hunting, you know.　Kidnapping people is a crime. If you can find them. But besides those criminals, there may be other situations that are substantially similar.

There are many forms of slavery, even in Earth's history.

There are many forms of "slaves" in the history of the earth, including those who are just hired hands, and those who are not treated as human beings.

"Well, even in Japan, if you go back 100 years, there were peasant farmers, and there were also people who were sold to pedants from farming villages.

"Well, in Japan, if you go back 100 years, there were small farmers, and people were sold to pedants from rural areas.

"Oh, I see. I'm sure you've heard of it.

If you're going to say that everything together is an absolute no-no, then I guess it's time for a minimum level of social security and poverty alleviation.

Of course, I think that kidnapping people and turning them into slaves is absolutely unacceptable, but there is certainly a history of slavery in terms of social security.

You can starve to death, become a criminal, or become a slave. That's what it means to not have a social security system.

I see. What are the chances of that happening to us?

As long as we don't go into debt or get involved in crime.

Then we're safe!　We're so well-behaved!

As long as we don't get cheated. You have no common sense, so be careful for a while. You don't even know if it's a crime.　Especially Toya!

What?　I'm careful, okay?

You look unhappy, Toya, but I don't know what you're talking about.

That look of disbelief is already unreliable.

He's always been a bit out of control, but now that he's in this world, he's getting carried away.

I haven't missed the fact that I've been following the beastmen with my eyes every time they pass by while I'm walking in town.

"You seem to be going out of control with your beast ears.

"Ugh. I can't deny that. ......

It seems that Haruka also agreed with me.

And it seems that Toya herself was aware of this point. .......

I'm not sure what to say.　I'm not sure what to say.　

I'm sure you'll be able to understand why.
