Let’s go to town

“It is thanks to you that we were saved.”
The middle aged man said that to Kazane, after they had defeated the last raider dog.

“Not at all. More importantly, are you alright? You’ve got several bite marks on your body.”

It appeared painful, looking at the blood flowing from the middle aged man’s arm.

“I’m fine, since I am well trained. But it seems Mondorie is in a terrible state.”

“Master, I am ashamed.”

Mondorie who had collapsed close by, apologized to him.

“It’s fine. Since the horse is okay, we should return to town. Do you girls, feel like joining us?”

“Is it alright?”
Kazane asks.

“You’re our benefactor, don’t be reserved.”

After letting Mondorie, Kazane, and Yumika ride, he urges the carriage to turn toward the town.

“Ah, Yumika works in that inn. No wonder I felt that I had seen her somewhere before.”

“Yes. I thought you would have recognized me.”

Inside the carriage. After they finished the first aid, the now calmed Monodrie and Yumika were conversing livelily.

“Well, who would have thought that an inn worker who had just sent us off this morning, would come to our assistance.”

(So, Mondorie stayed at the inn that has been taking care of Yumika. If I remember correctly, it’s an inn with a ‘cooking pot’ as their trademark.)

Kazane didn’t join their conversation, but lay down to rest her tired body.

(Yumika is really skilful at getting along with males, since a long time ago)

The introvert Kazane who has been with her in middle school, high school, and always at the same class, feels slightly envious. Well, from Yumika’s point of view perhaps it’s not true.

(There’re more skills)

Since Kazane is not sleepy, she opens the window and looks at the skill column. After the fight with the raider dogs, her skills had increased by two.

([[Crushing Blow]] is… perhaps a one hit kill skill)

It’s a skill they used in battle before. It should be derived from a skill that is capable of bringing the enemy down…I think. Even in the game, there’s a case where the dog species are able to instantly kill players, regardless their level.

(Then this... [[Dog’s Sense of Smell]] is as it is)

Even when closing her eyes, she can understand what’s happening around her. Yumika, Mondorie, and the master’s position. The smell of blood. She even grasps the fact that they have left the forest and they once again entered a grassland area.

(Well, this is practical)

She even knows that Mondorie had leaked in his pants a bit because of the last battle.

(Well, even the residents of this world shouldn’t meet with that kind of danger too often)

Then what Kazane and Yumika experienced also enters the harsh category. The clattering and shaking of the carriage, made Kazane’s consciousness slowly enter the darkness.

“Oi…We’ve arrived.”

(Umm..?)

Kazane who had unknowingly fallen asleep wakes up hearing master’s voice.

“Kazane, we’re here.”

Yumika pat Kazane who is still dozing off.

“Uh huh. I know.”

Kazane who gradually felt her consciousness coming back, senses the presence of many people outside.

(This Dog’s Sense of Smell is really convenient…)

Kazane is honestly surprised with this new unknown sensation.

“This is…Conrad town?”
After coming out of the carriage Kazane mutters. It’s a spectacle that she had never seen before.

“Oh. Is this your first time being here?”

“Not really. Perhaps. It’s different from what I remember, so I’m a bit startled.”

In the game Conrad town is the first town the player will be in. Kazane remembered that the setting of Conrad town was a quite prosperous town, even by this world’s standard.

(They have a lot of stalls. The part of being a trade town doesn’t change.)

The building placements were greatly changed. As for the difference in scale she is still unclear whether it’s a difference in the game and reality, like the field or simply because there is a difference in the era.

(It’s different from when it was a game, just like Yumika said. But this is more than I expected)

After the carriage entered the castle-like gate, the four of them reached the plaza.

“We will go to the clinic, so I guess we will part here.”

Not only Mondorie, even the master has received considerable damage. They need medical treatment as fast as possible.

“Yes. Thank you very much for bringing us here.”

“Master and Mondorie, please be careful.”

“Uh huh. You too. Ah, if we go to the inn, perhaps we will meet again?”

Towards Mondorie’s question, Yumika nods.

“If you want to stay today I can tell the landlady?”

“Umm… No, it’s fine. It’s possible that we need to stay in the clinic, if necessary we can come over.”

“Alright. Then get well soon.”

Hearing that, Mondorie nods, and together with master they disappear in the rushing town.

“Alright, now what should we do, Kazane?”

After they can’t be seen anymore, Yumika ask Kazane who’s beside her.

“What to do…”

Kazane was troubled for a sec and then she asked Yumika.

“By the way Yumika, the adventure guild where you accepted that commission, is it still the same as the game?”

After humming and thinking for a while, Yumika nods.

“Well…I just registered yesterday, but I think that there’s not that much a difference. Look here.”

Yumika takes a card from her pocket.

Name        : Yumika Tachiki

Occupation    : Adventurer

Level        : 11

Rank        : F

Written here are the adventurers guild registration card, name, occupation, level, and rank.

“Like a simple version of status window?”
“Level is automatically adjusted with what’s in the window, name and occupation is self assessment, while rank is given by the guild depending on your achievement.”

“Ohh…”

“For occupation it can be anything, but if it’s too different from your ability, then the guild might not accept it. And if you falsely said you’re a Knight or Noble, it might be accused as a crime, so be careful.”

“I see.”

“If you said you’re an adventurer then it won’t be a problem, though when forming a party with others it might be inconvenient as they don’t know what you’re specialized in…well, saying this to you, is like lecturing Buddha.” (TL note: meaning, Kazane should already know, even more that Yumika.)

“That’s not true. Knowing that it’s the same as the game helps a lot.”
“Is that so? Well since it’s easy to register, you should quickly register yourself.”

“Yeah, let’s do it.”

Kazane walks briskly following Yumika who said ‘please follow me’ and walks ahead with a big smile on her face.

Kazane    : We have arrived at the town. By the way, I added the bonus point into strength.

Yumika    : By the way, Kazane thought about something like ‘Well, even the residents of this world shouldn’t meet with that kind of danger too often’ right? But actually it’s a bit different

Kazane    : Your point?

Yumika    : If they meet that kind of danger, they usually die

Kazane    : Well, I guess so
