But never seen or heard of, huh. Did Master never try after all. Or he tried but did it alone. I wonder which.

“For the room you’ll stay in, Master’s room…”
“Ah, no. I have a sleeping bag, so here is fine.”
“Eh?”
“Surely there are many memories? I cannot soil them.”

That’s true, but. Still, yeah. Yeah. That’s right. I can’t say I’ve sorted my feelings yet either, so let’s do that.

“Mm. Thank you. Then I’ll be in the room this way, so call me if anything happens.”
“I understand. Thank you, Rita.”
“Mm.”

I nod back and leave the living room. And the room I entered is not my own.
Master’s room.
I’d kept it clean thinking he’d come back someday, but in the end Master stopped coming back. I left his things as they were and waited, though. Continue reading →

Night. The sun’s gone down so I think it’s about time for dinner, but Mireille is just reading and reading. Sitting in a living-room chair, silently.

“Mireille, it’s about night.”
“…………”
“Amazing concentration. No reaction.”

‘Because she heard about the barrier, maybe?’
‘She knows there’s no danger’
‘Even so her wariness is too low’
‘Just like Rita-chan’

I can’t deny it. When I concentrate on reading I get absorbed forever too. There was even a time I concentrated on reading while streaming and read for a whole day.
That time, more than feeling I’d done something bad to the viewers, I was chilled that there were viewers who kept watching nothing but me reading for a whole day.
So I get this of Mireille’s too. I even feel a kinship. But I’m starting to get hungry.
And so, sorry, but I quickly pulled the book away. Continue reading →

“Eeh… Truly…?”
“Mm. My Master, that is, the previous Guardian, was apparently a teacher at the academy.”
“Sage Kouta, then… I did think he was well versed in many magics, but to think he was a Guardian…”
“Knowing Master, he was probably laughing inside every time the Guardian came up.”

‘Possible lol’
‘Or rather, no question lol’
‘That guy has a mean streak lol’

He likes pranks and such pretty well. I still haven’t forgotten having a weird cushion put on my chair. The one that goes boo. If I get to see him I’ll punch him.
I was going to… punch him…

“Wait!? Please don’t suddenly cry!”
“But…”
“Even a Guardian is as they look, I see… Here, a handkerchief. Yes, chiin.”
“Chiin.”
“Well done.” Continue reading →

The Great Spirit’s Secret

We cut across the sky over the Spirit Forest, straight for the center, the World Tree.
The air over the Spirit Forest is the territory of flying magic beasts like wyverns, but today I ignore that. I just beat back the ones that come at us.
In less than thirty minutes, we reached the World Tree.
We land by the World Tree, and then I notice I brought Mireille along on the momentum.

“Ah…”

Mireille was limp. By any look she’s fainted. I didn’t have room to hold back… I might have done a bad thing.
For now I lay her down there. Magic beasts don’t come near the World Tree, so she can wait here for now.

‘Rita-chan, so even that outbound trip she was holding back…’
‘Too fast, I was shocked’

“Mm. Sorry.”

But right now the viewers come later. Continue reading →

“Then I’ll explain the requests. The dragon subjugation: there is a dragon that destroyed a country called Io a year ago. We want to take the initiative and subjugate it before it comes to another country.”
“Ah, yeah…”
“Gathering phoenix tears is, if you can meet the phoenix, you can get them fairly easily. However it lives deep in a volcano, so reaching the nest is difficult.”
“Mm…”
“The Spirit Forest survey is that large mana reactions have been observed frequently of late. It would be investigating the cause. I shouldn’t say this, but I don’t really recommend this one.”

Large mana reactions? Different from magic beasts fighting over territory, right? They say of late, after all. But nothing especially unusual has…

‘Rita-chan Rita-chan’
‘The large mana reactions are Rita-chan’s teleport magic, no?’
‘It’s a transfer from galaxy to galaxy, so it feels like it uses a huge amount of mana too’

“Ah…” Continue reading →

Guildmaster

Up the stairs, to the third floor. The third floor was a hallway lined with lots of doors. The room Mireille led me to by the hand was the one at the very back.

“Rita. You will now meet the branch chief, that is, the guildmaster here.”
“Mm.”

A meeting with the guildmaster. I wonder what we’ll do. But for now, maybe that. Meeting the most important person here, so don’t be rude, or…

“If the guildmaster does anything unpleasant, please tell me. I will sanction them.”
“…………”

‘What is that, scary’
‘I see, got it. S-rank is above the guildmaster’
‘I thought they were at the top and they’re middle management, I hate this!’
‘Plus the bonus that you never know when the boss is coming’
‘Even in an isekai! There’s no dreams or hope!’

A meritocracy kind of thing, maybe. In terms of personnel I think S-rank is more precious. Continue reading →

‘An ultra sound argument’
‘So there is a baptism kind of thing’
‘There is, but they don’t do it to a kid like Rita-chan’
‘Sad the trope didn’t fire’

I thought they’d do it too. Not that I was hoping, but that I was a little excited is a secret.
Maybe he noticed my dissatisfied face; the old guy gave a wry smile, like, this missy’s got guts.

“We adventurers are a business that runs on trust. Let the townspeople know you picked a fight with a kid. Trust blows away and the work’s gone.”
“Mm… I see.”

When he puts it that way it’s obvious. If the people working at the guild you requested from are dishonest or rough, there’s no way you could trust them. If a rumor like that spread, requests would drop.
If requests drop, the people who can work drop too. For adventurers that’s a matter of life and death. Continue reading →

Dear Senior Adventurers

A town lined with so many buildings. The roads are paved in cobblestone, and wagons look like they’d run easy. A lot of people coming and going, chatter and kids’ energetic voices, overflowing with life.
Yeah. Amazing. A different amazing from Japan. I might like this one better.

‘I’m Japan after all, yeah’
‘As long as there’s a PC and the net, anywhere is fine’
‘I can’t even picture life without a PC or a phone. Absolutely not’
‘Are there nothing but wrecks here?’
‘The fact you’re looking at this means you’re the same, you know’

PCs are convenient. I’ve gotten to touch the one Mami has a little, and I thought it was amazing.
I mean, you just do a little of something called searching and you get all kinds of information. Convenient doesn’t even cover it. According to Mami there’s also lies and wrong information so picking and choosing is a pain, but that’s the same even without a PC.

I want one too, a PC. Well, even if I got a PC I probably couldn’t use it in the forest. I couldn’t connect to that thing called the internet to begin with.
Thinking about that, I follow Mireille. Still, it’s a lively town. Everyone looks like they’re having fun. There are lots of shops too, so I want to stop by later. Continue reading →
