Day 19 White Weirdo Inn

An unfamiliar ceiling.

Aah, I finally got to say this. I thought this day would never come.

I thought I would have to live without ever being able to play out this trope.

Its an actually unfamiliar ceiling.

No doubt here.

Its not that crap about the unfamiliar cave, unfamiliar forest, or an unfamiliar schoolgirl.

Be the name of the inn white lover or white weirdo, the inns ceiling still counts as an unfamiliar ceiling.

Its finally an unfamiliar ceiling! I saw it before I went to sleep, but if I say I dont know it, then I dont!

Isnt it weird that it took me almost 20 days to say this line after coming to another world?

Normally, youd start in a castle? Then, there will be a princess? Or rather, didnt things go weird from the very beginning? Why an old fart? Why not a goddess? Thats where things went wrong. And he was senile on top of that.

Well, anyway, we finally reached a town in another world.

We did it.

(Fin)

Good morning, mind not ending the story the first thing in the morning? And also, its not like you had any intentions to find a town, to begin with? You just tagged along, didnt you? You didnt accomplish anything here, why are you trying to bring closure?

Could it be that instead of a morning call, this inn provides a morning retort service? A flat-eyes retort. Thank you for the treat.

So its My adventure is only starting! with a forever unfinished first arc? And its still not ending?

It appeared like survival in another world, but it turned out like living in the countryside? No publisher would allow a story about endless mushroom picking to continue for more than one issue! Even this world is about to axe the story.

Good morning, President. You are a president today as well.

Why are you saying it like its a compliment? Why do you look so smug, as if you said something nice? Its not like we are swapping presidents, so Im obviously a president every day? Or rather, there is no school anymore, so it makes me wonder for how long am I going to be treated like a class president.

Sadly, it seems she is not aware that calling the president the president is the greatest praise possible at our school.

Presidents of other classes? No idea about them. Never even saw them. And since I never saw them, I cant even tell if they really exist. Even the real Vice President of our class is yet to be discovered. If they do exist, I still dont care.

So what brings you so early in the morning? Are you hungry? Cant wait for breakfast? Want a mushroom?

Why do you think of me as a miserable child? Am I really that hungry all the time? No, I came to talk.

Looks like Im mistaken. It seems she has no Gluttony, but instead No, nothing.

Yesterday, everyone gathered information at the guild. And I thought Id tell you

She looks very reluctant to talk. Hesitant, almost pained to talk, even though its actually about me

Is it about the level wall?

Eh? How do you know? Who told you? So you know everything

So it was about that after all. After learning about this she couldnt bring herself to tell me. After all, she had to tell me the bad news.

No matter how she puts it, there is nothing that can be done about this.

Level Wall is a rule of this world.

The easiest to understand example is equipment. Especially weapons.

For example, suppose there is a sword.

This world has levels.

Even swords have them.

Even a normal iron sword of the lowest grade would have Lv 20, so to use it, the person will need to be at least Lv 20.

Of course, one will be able to hold or swing it without meeting the requirements.

The problem is skills. Even if one has the Swordsmanship skill, it wont activate without level 20.

And as they say, Weapon Skills is one of the most important things in this world.

For the sword SlashandThrustare the basic skills.

These are basic moves that allow only for slashing and stabbing, but with Weapons Skills the power is completely different.

On the other hand, even if one were to hold a sword for the first time in their life, having sufficient levelSlashwill work as a Weapon Skill.

And to defend against weapon skills of level 20, one needs level 20 or above.

This is the Level Wall.

This is the reason why the level is said to be absolute in this world.

Merely having a lower level puts you at a disadvantage of being unable to defend against your opponents Weapon Skills or get through their defense in case of defensive Weapon Skills.

In other words, no matter how strong I get or how high my stats will get, I will lose, since I cant raise my level.

Monsters have weapons skills as well. And in this world, humans calmly kill other humans. Being unable to get Weapon Skills I will sooner or later be killed.

Game Over.

Declaration of Death.

So, early in the morning, she came all alone to tell me that Im already checkmated Thats why she is the president.

No one wants to say that, and most probably cant.

But, not conveying this is dangerous. Ignorance about this will spell doom.

Even if the bearer of the bad news might become hated

Aah, I heard it from the old men. Eehm, the old men trio?

Aah, so the guild master of the adventurers guild Hakies-san is among these three? You dont have intentions of remembering even the name of the guild master?

Thank you. President. You have pandas under your eyes.

She probably spent the whole night, thinking about how to tell me about this. She was worried about what could happen to me. So she now has pandas.

Noo, I dont have pandas! What kind of eyes would have pandas under them! Why do you have to turn panda eyes into pandas?

Not pandas, it seems.

And then, came breakfast! Its bread! Bread! Rough and crumbling bread! Its super hard, but its bread!

So there is bread. Lets buy flour and go back! Gather ingredients! All of the ingredients of this world into my grasp! Muhahaha!

Why does eating bread lead to world domination? Dont cause trouble to another world.

Fish Girl scolded me. Is it because I didnt give enough praise to the fish? Which reminds me, didnt they say that both of her parents are fish? She probably has a lot of emotional attachment to fish.

Homesick? Dont worry, both of your parents are probably doing fine, happily swimming in the ocean.

Dont make fish out of my parents!

Scolded, once again. But didnt they say that they are fish? Did I hear it wrong?

What are you going to do today? Going to the guild in the morning? Morning guild? Want to have a guild in the morning?

Well, even if we want to shop, first, we have to visit the guild. I still have no money.

Why are you trying to make the trip to the guild sound like breakfast at a fast food place?

Everyone was eating and drinking at their own tables?Right now, for only 100 Ere! is what was written there?

If one cup is 100 ere, then one ere is about one yen? They probably have 100 ere shops. I wonder if they have bookstores?

First, money. Though the number of the magic stones was huge, they are still only F grade. They shouldnt amount to a large sum.

But, I wont need a lot of money.

I cant equip any weapons or armor with my level 9. The stick is pretty much all I can use. And I already have it.

So I dont need money, since I cant even use leather armor.

Well, since I cant become an adventurer, I also dont need any of those preparations.

Its all about ingredients and cookware. And especially seasonings! Though I have salt, for some reason its not depleting at alL! Villager A-san, just how much salt did you buy?

It seems they have no bookstores. They dont? I want to read something though? Is it time to order express delivery? Finally?
