Shinka no Mi (Shiranai Uchi ni Kachigumi Jinsei)-Chapter 33

Posted on 14th February 2016 by MidnightWill

Hi guys just posting for the lazy ones, i’ll see you next week

“Ah, speaking of which… I received the seed of evolution from the sheep”

Right after exiting the guild, I suddenly remembered . I completely forgot about it… Well, I was busy partly due to the matter about Black Dragon God and Altria-san .

“First I’ll research about the seed of evolution in the library, rather than buying a horse”

I think I am the only one who knows the most about the seed of evolution . I knew the reason Saria evolved was thanks to the wonders of the seed of evolution . I also have been saved many times… .

That’s why, it was important for me who can not be compared with a demon king .

Fortunately, I am on a errand to the second-hand shop . That’s because I wanted to make recovery potions .

“A proper tool and bottles are necessary”

The clever monkeys were amazing because they had even reproduced the bottles .

“Errr… . the tool shop was unexpectedly quite close”

As I looked at the simple map that I had received from Gassur, the location of the tool shop was not far from the guild .

“Alright, first I’ll take a look at the tool shop”

I’ve decided to immediately head towards the tool shop .

Along the way, a lolicon old man was peeking at a little girl eating candy, not caring about his rough breathing . Ah, a guard . There is a criminal over there

But… aside from Gassur who I did not care about, if you look closely around enough, the people here reminds me of Japan . After that, the gap between Earth no longer made me feel uncomfortable .

Besides, some people are wearing ordinary-like clothes back on earth . Heroes, be a little more prudent .

While I was thinking of such things, I quickly reached the tool shop .

“Is it here?”

Arriving at the tool shop, it did not look strange . It was just an ordinary shop .

I opened the door and entered, unfamiliar tools were lined up in rows inside .

“Oh? A customer?”

While I was surprised by the amount of strange tools, an auntie had come out from the back .

“Ah, hello . Gassur introduced me”

“Ahaha . I see . Please look as much as you like”

Auntie said so while laughing, and went back inside the shop… No, I’m troubled if you leave!?

I hardly recognize most of the tools in the shop!?

“It can’t be helped… oh look here”

A brand name and a price tag was stuck on the goods, let’s imagine it from the name what kind of tool it is .

In the worst case, I’ll use the “advanced appraisal” skill .

“Well… this is?”

While saying so, the first thing I grabbed is a white sphere, unsure of what it was . The price was 100 gold pieces .

“The price is reasonable, so what is it?”

I tried to check the name .

“Merely a ball”

“Hey shopkeeper come here!”

Merely a ball! What the heck you mean!

No, it is too early to make assumptions . Merely a ball could be the name, but there may be some hidden effects .

I tried to convince myself while activating the appraisal skill .

“Merely a ball”… It is really just a ball . It can even become a cat’s plaything, and when encountering a demon, throw it to draw the attention of the demon… maybe .

“Damn, it is really… just a ball!”

I was a fool for expecting something!

Recently, I feel there are many expectations that have been disappointments . Primarily… such as Gassur or Ellis . I tired myself out from retorting the goods, but I immediately pulled myself together .

“Hmm, what about this pot?”

The next thing that caught my eyes was the pot with an unusual atmosphere . What I mean is, it could be used for alchemy .

Perhaps, it might be that kind of tool . It has quite a price, 100,000 G . I wonder if it is correspondingly valuable?

This time, without checking the name, I directly activated the skill to identify .

“Pot of Happiness”… I have the feeling the happy one will be the owner . If it sells well, the shopkeeper will be happy .

“Guards!”

“It’s a scam! Right here there are some people doing unscrupulous business!”

What is going on in this store!? And, more than that, didn’t Gassur introduced me to this store!

Is that it? A rookie who knows nothing can be hurt, did you introduce it to rookies to learn a lesson!? If so, it is too evil!

Already, my trust for this shop had fallen . But, if you look around carefully, there are also decent goods as well .

For example, “Paper from another world”, this is made from a paper-making method that a hero had devised when he had been summoned to this world . It is still inferior in quality compared to Earth, but the parchment is still relatively easy to use .

The price was 500 G for 100 sheets . I don’t know whether it was cheap or expensive, but the amount is not extreme, it would still be better .

Another one, was made using an item called magic stone, called “Magic Camera” . Perhaps the idea of this camera was also told by someone from the heroes .

Though I was saying that, in the guild I heard someone sneaked voyeur shots, was it because of this… But there are still many things I don’t know, I shouldn’t be wasting time and went looking for the necessary equipment again .

Then, without any particularly difficulty, I found what I wanted immediately .

“There it is . Well… a mortar and pestle . And, empty bottles… for now I’ll take 10”

In order to grow the seed of evolution, I’ll need a planter and a water can, I’ll also need to buy soil that has been put in jute bags .

Once I picked everything I wanted, I called out to the Auntie in the back .

“Sorry, what’s the bill?”

“Oh? Did you finish?”

“Mm, yeah”

The reason my response was so sloppy was, probably because I knew quite a bit about this shop .

With no reason to speak, I indifferently paid the bill . The price was 3000 G; but I still do not know whether it was expensive or cheap .

Well, I’m not troubled for money at the moment . Upon exiting from the store, the lively scenery appeared into my eyes .

“Now, what should I do next?”

To be honest, it will be better if I bought the horse last . If I buy it now, it will be troubling in various ways .

“Then the library?”

I would also like to look around for Demon King and Heroes, as well as magic . While I confirmed my destination with the map I had received from Gassur, I headed towards to the library .

◆◇◆

“…it’s huge”

Arriving at the library those were the first words I said . In front of my eyes, this huge building resembles a famous fine arts museum back on Earth . There were beautiful stained glass and a clock tower, really standing out with its clean atmosphere .

“Here’s the Royal Library”

If it’s this huge, there should be plenty of spell books .

While I was thinking that, I stepped into the library . In my view, the insides were beautiful with an incredible amount of bookshelves .

There is no admission fee, but, on the other hand, I hear the library doesn’t seem to lend books .

It seems only ordinary books are opened to the public .

There was anti-theft magic on each of the books, if someone attempts to take it even one step away from the library, it forcibly teleports the book back onto the original bookshelf . Magic sure is great .

However, since there is no such thing as a receptionist, you’ll have to look for books by yourself .

So I also started to search for books, but there were too many books, I lost myself halfway through .

But, thanks to such hardships, I was able to find some of the books I was concerned about .

With all those books, I took a seat in the library . Surprisingly, I was the only one occupying this vast library .

“Right, first I’ll start to read”

While saying so, I opened the book titled “A Hero and the Demon King”, and looked over the contents .

As a history book, rather than difficult contents, it seems more like a story for children, but I’ll have to tentatively check .

… Well, it was useless after all .

This is because the contents of the story has been distorted as humans were the good side, while the demons were portrayed as absolute evil .

I was looking for something unbiased, described in a third-party perspective . Well, in the first place, it was strange to look for such stories .

While I was having such thoughts, I kept rummaged through for other books about other heroes and the demon king .

But, I couldn’t find the content I wanted . All the books wrote, the demon king was evil, and the heroes embody justice .

Perhaps, it might be the truth . But after seeing the past of the Black Dragon, I did not think so at all .

“It didn’t go well…”

I muttered unintentionally . However, there was one strange thing .

In the history books, after the hero defeated the demon king, it was written that everyone lived peacefully . After I read the diary of the Hero Abel, I cannot believe that . If the contents of that diary was authentic, then the hero should have been killed by the country .

“The country that summoned the hero… the hero’s death should have been recorded”

If such records were known to the heroes, Kenji and the others would have escaped . Those guys wouldn’t purposely accept their fate to be killed .

“It can’t be helped… I’ll give up about the demon king”

At least, I decided not to the trust the information about the heroes and demon kings .

“Well, now that is taken care of, I’ll look at the other books”

While I was saying that, I opened the book concerning our status .

Until now, I been relying on the knowledge from games and manga, but I was convinced that it may be different if I closely examine it .

So I brought this book . However, I recognized most of the contents . Still, only a portion of the contents were different from what I know .

Up to now, I thought charm represented the quality of the appearance . Of course, it is not actually so .

Surprisingly, the atmosphere clad in the body of the person seems to be one of the charms . So, even in poor appearance, if you have high charm, it will still attract people .

Well, I am interested if charisma is related to charm… Hmm . With that notion, what about me with a blank charm stat? Is there even a factor that attracts the person?

I was slightly depressed by such things, but I recovered immediately . This is because I’ll read the book written about magic now . There is no way I wouldn’t be interested .

In an excited mood, I opened the book titled “How to use magic” . When I read further, there was an explanation about magic itself .

In brief, magic consumes the energy called magical power… . which can interfere the world directly it seems .

As a condition to invoke magic, magical power are necessary and it is important to imagine the spell as well .

To make it easier to imagine, chanting exists as well as discarding chanting, a first-class magician could do that naturally .

… That’s strange? I’ve been using magic without any image at all .

That’s why, at the time during the battle with Saria, I dropped a large quantity of water above myself . Because I didn’t know any magic at all .

Although perhaps, the reason I had used magic was because I had already acquired it…Wow . While I was having such thoughts, a voice abruptly resounded in my mind .

“You’ve acquired [No-chant] skill”

…

“…sigh”

Well that was boring . Indeed, it felt like an empty achievement . I, who knew nothing, had suddenly acquired a first-class skill .

There was no self-respect by easily having it delivered to you . I was thinking about such worthless things seriously while having a distant look .

However, since I knew I am no longer a normal human, I recovered quite fast .

Then the book divides the respective attribute separately, I read from Beginner to Advanced . As expected, the books did not contain information about the purgatory attribute .

Unexpectedly, the books did not contain written information about space magic . I thought the book at least would have that since an item box exists .

So, in the book the attributes was labeled as Fire, Water, Wind, Earth, Lightning, Ice, Light and Darkness .

Fire, Water, Earth and all the magic that had been written in the books, was the same as the knowledge I had .

Therefore, I was able to completely understand the magic when I finished reading the books about those attributes . All except space magic .

“Good, Now I will use magic properly unlike the first time”

Before I didn’t understand the magic consumption, but the book was written in full details about the effect and powers .

However, the magic I can use, is far superior so I should not rely on that… .

In this manner, I finished reading about Fire, Water, Earth, and Darkness, I decided to read the remaining Wind, Lightning, Ice and also Light .

Although I cannot use it right now, it may become available later, or there is a guy who can use it so I thought I could accommodate .

Fire and Water magic is likely to have high attack power, but if anything, Wind and Lightning can also be if the universal magic system exists . In that sense, Wind and Earth are probably easier to use .

What I care about is non-attribute magic, the application is very large . Be it body-strengthening, or simply floating, I think since it can attack directly, it is very powerful depending on how you use it .

Anyways, I finished reading the books about all the magic attributes . The time I read is considerably faster than back on earth . Is this perhaps, one of the benefits of evolution?

“Phew…I finished!”

I said that while stretching .

“You’ve acquired [Non-magic attribute], you’ve acquired [Wind attribute], you’ve acquired [Lightning attribute], you’ve acquired [Ice attribute], you’ve acquired [Ice attribute], you’ve acquired [Light attribute], and you’ve acquired [Arch mage] title, to make sure you have mastered all the magic at the highest state . You are given [Composition Magic], [Numerous Deployment], [Magic Creation], you’ve mastered [Inscription Magic], you’ve mastered [Battle Formation Magic]”

The inhumane voice, once again resounded in my mind .

“…………”

It’s strange . Why won’t bitter tears stop flowing from my eyes? No way… Isn’t it weird? I, I was just reading a book? How did this happen?

Does this mean I can’t even read books casually? Will this happen again whenever I read? A curse?

Argh, I don’t have the willpower to complain anymore, and continued to check the acquired magic skills .

However, I’ll skip over Fire, Water, Wind, Earth, Lightning, Ice, Light, and Darkness attribute, and continue to check the rest .

[No-chant]…You can use magic without chanting .

[Arch mage]… The title sent to one who mastered all elemental magic . Magical attack power is doubled .

[Composition Magic]… Different or same magic attributes can be combined to create powerful magic .

[Numerous Deployment]… You can use many magic simultaneously without being restricted to the attribute .

The unprecedented [Magic Creation]… It is now possible to create your own magic . After creating, you can activate without chanting . Prior to creation, requires clearer image and a name also needs to be decided .

[Inscription Magic: Master]… It is possible to inscribe magic onto swords and accessories .

[Battle Formation Magic: Master]… It is possible to use magic formation to use more powerful magic .

“It’s no good, it’s getting out of hand!”

I seem to be very far away from a human being .

◆◇◆

“…”

As I came out from the library, I was tired mentally .

What should I do? What should I aim? Hero? Or Demon King? Now, I can easily be both . I’m in the mood to go to the convenience store . Haha, really . My mood remained darkened as I was walking down the streets, heading toward the open city .

“…Mmm, it’s crowded”

A large number of street stalls were lined up in the neighborhood centering on the fountain which perhaps contain magical power to keep it functioning .

The shops sent off an appetizing smell and a man was selling a huge painting giving off very flashy impact . Various people had been there to buy or sell .

“Come to think of it, I didn’t eat lunch”

Due to the library, I didn’t realize the time, it already passed noon . Even so, it is still past noon, with that many books you would think it’s abnormal .

“Somehow, I don’t feel like eating around so many people…”

Right now I feel, rather than eat in the lively square, to go eat inside a peaceful area .

While I was thinking of such things, walking around the square, one stall came into my view .

Unlike the other stalls, there seems to be no customer around .

However, there was just a sheet covered on the ground . It seems to be selling paintings .

Back on Earth, I wasn’t interested in art . But for some reason, I was naturally walking to this stall .

Near the stall, a depressed girl was sitting there . She also seems to have dog ears . Perhaps she would be the shopkeeper . I really… want to touch those ears .

A little bit younger than me, with an adorable face too . As I walked to the front of the store, she raised her head .

“Ah… H-how can I help you!?”

She removed her sunken expression and gave a cheerful greeting . While observing the circumstances of the girl, I also looked over at the paintings .

” ! ”

This is… I had unintentionally stared at the paintings arranged there .

It wasn’t flashy . It was a strange painting . Speaking clearly, there was no major characteristic, but when every painting formed into a line, it was visibly attractive if I say so .

Painting of a bird drinking water, a painting of people having a pleasant chat, a painting of the town’s sunset, a night sky painting, the paintings subject was day to day trivial .

When I came here, I saw the person who had been selling flashy picture was lined with a lot of people, but there is not even one person here . It was strange to me . I mean that flashy painting… I don’t even know what it is . Picasso drew ordinary objects and it was said to be a unique picture, impressing people, but from that painting I did not feel anything at all . Well, even a painting of Picasso seen in the textbooks was drawn amazing, in the first place I think he had very art sensitivity .

“This, did you drew all of them?”

I’ve unconsciously asked .

The girl opened her eyes, she was surprised to be asked so suddenly and immediately answered “Yes!” .

Wow… I couldn’t draw pictures at all . I feel younger than I should have . In any case, I was impressed by the paintings of the girl .

After coming to this world… I’m interested to buy a painting for the first time . I decided to buy the painting of the city dyed in sunset among them .

“This painting, how much is it?”

Mmm… I still don’t know the price of a painting . Was it expensive? Cheap? Either way, I liked it and I won’t regret buying it .

“Ok, I’ll take this painting”

“A-ah… . t-thank you very much!”

The girl was deeply moved when she received 1000 G from me, and carefully wrapped the painting .

This time, I’ll have to buy a picture frame . While I was thinking of such things, the package was completed and passed to me .

“Thanks”

Upon receiving the painting, I immediately put it away in the item box . I’d hate it if it gets damaged .

“T-thank you very much!”

The girl stood up from the store and bowed . That reaction was amazing, but did you really not sell much? These are good paintings . Remaining somewhat unconvinced, I decided to look for a shop to take a break .

◆◇◆

“Are there people inside?”

Away from the square, I was looking for a shop to take a break .

However, along the road there was a store full of customers . It was not likely to be slowed anytime soon . It’s just afternoon .

Since I found it too excessive, I decided to look for another place with less people .

I don’t want to remember but after arriving at the guild, that place had contained a frightening amount of homosexuals .

That area was not very popular, so I found the store after leaving the central square .

However, it was surprisingly a popular little establishment .

“Akkoriente Cafe… . ”

… What is Akkoriente? A new type of food?

While thinking such nonsense, I entered another shop . A bell attached to the door reverberated . The interior had a gloomy mood . There was a bar counter and a bitter elderly man with grey hair that stood over there seems to be the bartender .

…This is a cafe? Isn’t this a bar? I, I’m a minor… I was overwhelmed by the atmosphere, there seems to be only one other customer besides me . In addition, the person had noticed and called out to me .

“Huh? You, don’t be standing around, are you coming in or not?”

“What? Oh, yes…”

I unconsciously replied as I approached the bar counter . Then, I saw the face of the customer who had talked to me .

“It’s the first time seeing your face . You, are you an adventurer?”

The man had asked, he had wild, messy blonde hair, clothes generally worn in this world . He appears to be around 40 years old, with a face giving off a very cool uncle-like feeling .

“Umm, yesterday I was finally made an official adventurer”

“I see, name’s Ranze . A humble poor citizen . Nice to meet you”

“Ah, thank you . My name is Seiichi”

“Seiichi? I see, from the sound of your name, it seems to be from a country in the east . The name is quite convincing . ”

“Is that so?”

Again, the country of the east . Adriana-san also said the same thing… I was thinking inside my mind while Ranze-san said so, amazed .

“Oh? Speaking of the country in the east, aren’t they famous for strong warriors? The name of [Heaven’s Blade] is widely known all over the continent, and his looks seem to resemble the heroes summoned in the Kaiser Empire . There seems to be many guys having black hair lately… was it because the country is involved in a lot of trouble so you’re waiting for things to cool down? Or, am I wrong?”

“Y-yes, that’s right! Aha, hahaha”

Hey, country of the east! Why is it so troublesome!

And, strong warriors… where can you find such battle folks! In the first place, who is [Heaven’s Blade]!?

Well, well, that means they have black hair as well . The only people with black hair are heroes, the country of the east should likely be descendants from Earth .

I floated a dry smile while keeping an innocent face desperately . Suddenly, cakes and black teas were placed before me .

Surprised, I turned my face towards the bartender, who quietly opened his mouth .

“… This is service for first time customers”

What an amazing voice! I was involuntarily charmed!? The voice didn’t sound too deep or small, just listening was very comfortable . I got my service . Looking at my interesting reaction, Ranze-san said while laughing .

“Hahaha! This guy here, is the shopkeeper Noado”

“… I’m Noado, from now on, pleased to meet you”

“O-oh, please treat me well”

After a beautiful bow, unexpectedly, Noado began to wipe the dishes… Really like a bartender… While I was having such thoughts, let’s start to eat the cake placed in front of me .

“Mm!?”

W-what is this, it tastes so good!? Since it was a different world, I surely thought the taste would be subtle, but it’s not like that at all . A fluffy, exquisite, sweetness of the cream as well as the harmonizing sour fruit on top, I can eat any amount of this . I was surprised that Noado-san told me politely .

“… That cake, was brought by a summoned hero from another world . I only applied the resulting recipe . The tea is not as well-known but the tasty, refreshing scent uses the characteristics of Rendell leaves”

Yeah, I do know about Rendell, but I found Noado-san amazing . I mean, just by using the recipe brought by the hero is not enough to make such delicious cakes . And, as Noado-san said, the tea’s refreshing scent requires a little deep taste of habit .

“This is so good, why are your customers so small?”

I’m aware that was rude, but I couldn’t help but ask . Then, Ranze-san answered instead of Noado-san .

“Well, first it is less crowded, and Noado himself didn’t want customers that much . Right?”

“… Yes . I want to allow the customers who visit this store to feel at ease”

“That’s the reason . Besides, the few customers like me and the others didn’t tell anybody about this . Since we knew that, it was translation to hide the well-established store’s presence”

“I see now…”

I didn’t understand . Only you know yourself the best, I felt there was a bit of sense of superiority . I was slightly convinced, and asked Noado-san what was troubling me .

“Well then, what does [Akkooriente] in the name of the shop mean?”

“Oh, I do not know that as well . Noado, what is it about?”

It seems even Ranze-san didn’t know, I started to regret my question .

Then, Noado-san smiled gently and spoke .

“Somehow it happened, I guess”

” Don’t tell me there is no reason!?”

We were surprised, Noado-san continued on .

“… Because, when I started this shop, I floated by this name . I still do not know what it means but since I liked the sound of it, I didn’t worry too much about it . ”

“Is that so…”

“Mm… well, that sounds interesting . There is no meaning huh…”

Looking at our reaction, Noado-san smiled gently again .
