Let’s prepare an adventure

==

“Now that our plan is settled, I have in mind to prepare for an adventure, is it ok?”“Kazane, you’re unexpectedly tough.” Yumika was already thinking of resting for the rest of the day, but it seems like something had touched her heartstrings, to suddenly Kazane be motivated.

“Well, it’s fine. Since I actually expected that we would arrive in town at night, moreover I’ve already rested for a bit in the carriage. So, what do you want to do, concretely?”“Ermm… First is equipment, actually don’t you want to use bow and arrow, Yumika?” Yumika was the ace of archery club.

(I still don’t know how much it will be applied in this fantasy world, but having a long distance attack is convenient)

“Of course I want to! But it’s too pricey.”“Then please sell that spear and then buy it. I also want to buy defensive armament with the surplus money.” Yumika shows disapproval towards Kazane’s proposal.

“No. I don’t want to sell this spear, since I don’t really have any confidence on hitting moving enemies.”

“Really?”

“I prefer to save up money to buy it and then use it alternately with this spear.”

After considering her words, Kazane replied with ‘I understand’.

“But I still think it’s better for you to prepare some defensive armament. We can buy decent things at the market with 300 kirigia.”“Is it okay?”

300 kirigia is the quest reward Yumika received.

“Since we are in party, the reward is also a shared properly.” Yumika answers while laughing.

“But first I want to divide our spending with the degree of income. For now just make it so we can work and earn some money.”

“Yup. Ah, even the cheap thing is fine. Since we still need to hire an instructor.”“Instructor?”“Yeah. A person who can teach us the procedure of collecting materials from monsters. Like how to skin the raider dog’s leather, or others.”

“Hmmm… well, so it’s necessary after all. Even at the inn I was taught how to strangle a bird and many other things.”“If only we could learn it immediately, like in a game… well, I guess we should learn it properly.”

“Roger. There’s also rucksack. We need it to pack the items.”

Hearing Yumika’s words, Kazane tilts her head.

“As a spare for item box…is it?”

“? What was that?” Eh? Kazane responded with confused looks.

“Perhaps, you didn’t use it?”

“It’s appeared in the window, but no matter what I bring, there’s no change on the list.”

As for the weapon and defensive armament, equipment indication appears instantly. That’s why Yumika thought that item box feature is unusable.

“Well, that one though… command open.”

Kazane opened the window and displayed the item box list. Then Kazane threw the sword into the window.

“Hah!?”

Yumika was surprised. In an instant the sword disappeared, and in the item column, a two handed iron sword appeared.

“No way. You can do that?”

“Eh? You didn’t notice? I used it when I took out the exploding balls.”

Ah! Yumika remembered. Surely there’s no place for me to put it away since I was only wearing tank top and shorts.

“Then I can put the contents of my rucksack inside?”

Seeing Kazane answering with an innocent smile, Yumika fell on her knees, dejected.

“I didn’t notice--!!!!!”

“But, is this thing alright in this world. Is it okay to use it openly?”“I think it won’t be a problem. Things like mysterious bags are pricey but they’re sold normally. I think there’s even magic like that?” Yumika answers powerlessly.

Mysterious bag. Item with a fixed capacity, different from item box. When it was still a game, it was usually reserved to be used when the item box was full. There’s also magic called‘warehouse’ which has an extremely large capacity, though it’s a magic with time limitation.

“I see. To have this kind of system placed since the beginning, this window is really convenient.”

“True. And somehow it is only us who can use it.”“As I thought.”

The resident of this world, like master and Mondorie, didn’t show any behaviour similar to opening the window.

“Yes. And as far as I know, the only players here are only you and me. Before I met you at the ruin, I thought that I was the only one sent to this world.”

“Hmm..”

(I forgot to ask about it)

Since they had many difficulties while coming here, she thought she would ask about it in one go latter.

(We who know each other in real life met here, it might not be a coincidence)

“Hey, Kazane, do you remember how you arrived in this world?”“No. Though perhaps I was playing ‘Zexiaharts’ at home.”

“I see. So you too.”

“Then you’re the same?”

Yumika nods in response.

“If we take our case as examples, there is a differences in the time and place we arrived, so there are perhaps people who had come here before us, or more people will come in the future.”

“Well, there’s no use thinking about it. We should start with what we can do…is it alright?”

“Yeah. Then let’s quickly go to the market and prepare the equipment. I also wish to report to Mrs. Rinrie.”

“Understood! Let’s go!”

***

“I am home, Mrs. Rinrie!”“Welcome home, Yumika.”

After shopping a few things, Yumika brought Kazane to ‘Cooking Pot Inn’.

(She has a motherly spirit)

That’s what Kazane thought, Rinrie is an auntie with a large build, her heart seems as kind and large as her body. (TL note: lit. her heart seems as big as her body)

“I am glad you returned. Are you alright? You’re not hurt anywhere?”

“I’m alright Mrs. Rinrie. Look how spirited I am!”

Yumika spread her arms.

“Oh, that’s good. I was worried because when you left this morning you showed a desperate face. I see. I am glad that you’re safe. Then did you complete your task?”

“Of course, I also received the reward. Well, I received help though. About that actually…”

“Hm?” Yumika turns to Kazane’s direction, Rinrie also looks that way with great interest.

“Ermm.. Good evening, Mrs. Rinrie.”

“Good evening young lady. Yumika, who is this young lady?”

“A person from the same village as me. We met by chance.”

Rinrie eyes widened by surprise, as Yumika said it with a little embarrassment.

“Oh my God. Is that true? Then it’s good isn’t it.”

Rinrie congratulated Yumika while patting her back.

“Mrs. Rinrie, that’s hurt~~”

“Ahaha sorry. Then, young lady, what’s your name?”

“My name is Kazane. Nice to meet you.”

“Oh, Kazane. What a polite child. there really is difference from Yumika.”

“Please leave me alone… Mrs. Rinrie.”

“Humph. The first time I met you, you seemed to be on the verge of death. Moreover, if I hadn’t come, you might have been kidnapped by a slave merchant.”

“Eh, seriously?”

Even Yumika looked surprised.

“That’s right. If Nikkaw didn’t hear it by chance and informed me, then it might have ended badly.”

“Uwaah! Ah, thank you very much!”

Yumika bows her head a few times.

“Well, seeing how lively you’re, then that’s fine.”

She then looks at Yumika.

“Then, what will you do now. You won’t ask me to take care of this Kazane too, will you?”

“No, that’s not our intention. And from today I’ll also properly stay as a guest. I’ll properly earn money to pay for my stay.”

Looking at Yumika, Rinrie lets out a short laugh.

“I see. Then there’s no problem right. Even though I don’t really mind you staying here, as I thought you will earn money by becoming an adventurer?”

“Yes. Together with Kazane.”

Yumika answers while clenching her first tightly.

“I see. Well, be careful though. Don’t let this little girl do anything unreasonable.”

“Ah…no, actually we are the same age you know.”

“Eh? Really?”

Facing a doubtful gaze from Rinrie, Kazane nods while smiling wryly.

(Well, for people with a western build like them, it might looks that way)

She actually doesn’t have complex about her stature… but being told about it like that, she couldn’t help but try to make an excuse in her head, while softly breathing a sigh.

Kazane : I Finally got defensive equipments! The gauntlet is made from metal and the rest is a complete set made from leather.

Yumika : Buying a one set in a second hand store for children is cheaper. It still costed about 200 kirigia, but if we compare with the price of ‘new ordered clothes for children’ it’s ten times cheaper.

Kazane : Ugh, I think I will also be treated as kid in the future

Yumika : While leaving aside me who is your acquaintance and the master and co. we met at battle, normally even if you say you’re ten years old, no one will doubt it.

Kazane : …Uuhhh *groaning*
