I know it can’t be helped, but “wild child” might have actually been a pretty big shock. No, yeah. It’s fine. I take pride in my work. Probably. Surely.

“Then, if I may be so bold, I shall give you a simple explanation. It is also the reason I am here.”
“Haa… Please.”

And so Mireille gave me a light explanation of adventurers and the guild.
Adventurers are people registered with the guild, and the guild is an organization that brokers work for adventurers, apparently. At registration they take a hearing and check your aptitude, and you’re sorted into warrior or mage, or something.
Then they introduce work that matches that aptitude.

“Hmm hmm.”
“Of course you cannot take high-difficulty requests immediately. Adventurers have ranks, and work is assigned according to that rank.”
“Hoh hoh.”
“Are you listening?”
“Mm.”

It’s fine. I understand. It’s just that the viewers are a little noisy. Continue reading →

The Textbook Young Lady

When I asked, the soldier nodded right away.

“Of course! Mages are treasures of the town, of the country, and of the world! There could be no one who would refuse you. You mentioned looking for someone; we will assist.”
“Ah, that’s all right.”
“I see…”

He kind of drooped. A little like a puppy… no, that’s not it. I don’t want a dog this big.

“Then please, Lady Witch. Allow us to escort you.”
“Eh. Ah, um… Shouldn’t I wait in line…?”
“Making a Lady Witch wait is unthinkable!”
“Haa…”

I mean, I don’t mind. Getting in without being made to wait is really nice.
But somehow. I can tell there’s some kind of purpose. More than special treatment, I think it’s so I don’t get tired of waiting and go somewhere else.

I mean, if it were just a guide, you wouldn’t need two soldiers. One of them isn’t saying anything and is just staring at me. A little scary.
The soldier who spoke to me leads, and I follow. The other soldier is behind me. Guard, or so I don’t get away, I wonder which.

‘This is it, Rita-chan’s going to get caught?’
‘Very well, then it’s war!’

“I’m not doing that.”
“Lady Witch?”
“It’s nothing.” Continue reading →

Flying Magic

The viewers got bored of the scenery, so I sped up. From the Spirit Forest to the town is about the distance of a horse running a full day, apparently. I got there in about an hour, and even then everyone seemed bored.

‘After you sped up we couldn’t even tell what the scenery was lol’
‘All we could do was talk…’

“Hmm… Next time I won’t stream during travel.”

I can’t say the travel itself is important, and showing just inside the town is fine too.
Anyway, arrival. I’m flying fairly high, and a big town is visible below. A large wall against magic beasts surrounds the town, with gates at east, west, south, and north.

“Which gate should I use. The closest one okay?”

‘No’
‘It’d be obvious you came from the Spirit Forest. How about the south gate?’

“South, then.”

I gain altitude so I can’t be seen from the ground, and head for the opposite side.
Looking down from up here, you can tell it’s a really wide town. There’s a big building in the center, I wonder what that is?

‘Whoa. This is fantasy, huh’
‘What’s amazing is that a town that big has no power lines’
‘Unthinkable from modern Japan’ Continue reading →

That’s the Aesthetic

There’s a huge flood of comments and reacting to each one is a pain. I’ll ignore comments for a while.

“First I’ll go greet the Great Spirit. If she says no there, I’ll have to give up.”

‘You’re the Guardian, after all. Just wandering off on your own would be bad’
‘You come to Japan pretty casually though lol’
‘Weird… Japan should be way farther…’

When I think about it, it does feel a little strange.
I go frequently to Japan, which is very, very far away, but I’ve never been to a town in this world, which should be much closer.
I wasn’t that interested, so maybe it can’t be helped.
I teleport to the World Tree. When I call the Great Spirit, she comes out right away.

“I’m going to town for a bit.”
“Eh. Eh…? Eeh!?”

‘The Great Spirit is super surprised lol’
‘Well, from the Great Spirit’s point of view of course she’d be surprised lol’
‘After all, Rita-chan…’

“What’s going on, Rita! This isn’t like you, the shut-in! The shut-in who has days she holes up in subspace and doesn’t come out!”

‘That’s it’
‘The Great Spirit said everything we wanted to say’
‘As expected of the Great Spirit…!’

I feel like I’m being made fun of, but I know I can’t push back hard on this. When I get absorbed in research, I’ve spent years inside the subspace.
But it’s not like I’m not annoyed, so I glare a little, and the Great Spirit puts her hands together looking apologetic. I’ll forgive her.

‘Calculatingly cute’
‘The Great Spirit is a sly woman’
‘If this is Rita-chan’s guardian, the world’s done for’ Continue reading →

There Are a Lot More Now

The day after I went to Tokyo. I started streaming before noon as usual, and immediately tilted my head.

“What is this.”

They’re greeting me, but there’s a lot of stuff that clearly isn’t Japanese. English and such. There’s a lot of other stuff too, but I don’t get it. Master only taught me Japanese.
The number of comments is huge too. It’s just, amazing. The black board is packed with letters, a little hard to read. Not so much I can’t read it, though.

‘Rita-chan, heeey’
‘This got more amazing than expected lol’
‘The viewer count’s a crazy number too lol’

Viewer count. Come to think of it I can see that, right. I never cared so I never paid attention. Um…

“What is this. Fifty thousand…? And it’s still going up…?”

People are increasing at an incredible pace. What is this, scary. Even I can tell fifty thousand is a really big number.

“Why are there so many people today? Is it a holiday or something?” Continue reading →

“There’s this too.”

When I turned at the guide’s voice, he was holding something like a red soup. He set it on the table, and it has a slightly unique smell. I can tell from the smell. This is a spicy one.

“Is spicy okay?”
“Mm. Of course.”

I try it with the spoon he brought along. The lots of whitish stuff, is that tofu? When I put it in my mouth, it’s spicier than I expected. Spicier than curry. But I don’t know, it’s the kind of spice you could get used to.
This goes really well with rice too. Delicious.

“Eheh…”

‘Ahh geez what delivery am I even supposed to get!’
‘Just get all of it?’
‘Gyoza and mapo tofu is rough on an old guy’

Ah, so that’s the name of this dish. Um…

“Mabaa tofu?”
“Maba… nfu…”

Ah, the guide kind of laughed at me. I guess that’s wrong.

‘Mabaa tofu lmao’
‘Well, if you don’t know how to read it and only see the kanji you wouldn’t know lol’
‘Rita-chan, it’s maa-boh-doh-fu’

“Hoh hoh. Maa-boh-doh-fu.”

‘The pronunciation feels a little off, but well, it’s fine!’ Continue reading →
