Day 4 Cave

Day 4 Cave

Wake up, eat, explore. With that being said, lets explore the upstream area of the forest. Its not like Im getting more excited, on the contrary, its going down. I want to eat something other than mushrooms, Im not talking about something luxurious like rice or ramen, just food other than mushrooms.

Its an exploration, its scary to go too far away from the get go, so I proceed from the riverside with a good view. Mushrooms are still found everywhere, and as usual anything other than mushrooms are nowhere to be found.

I found two Goblins with Detect Presence, their levels were 12 and 11. I used [Movement Lv 1] and [Wrapping Magic], then I ambushed Goblin A and defeated it with one blow, but Movement Lv 1 was too fast!! I blindly rushed into it and it was practically a car crash.

Goblin B seems surprised at how quickly Goblin A was defeated and so was I. I used Wrapping Magic to strengthen the wooden stick. Goblin B was defeated in two swings.

Perhaps the Wrapping Magic is working or maybe its just the Placebo effect. The tradition of hanging sardine heads was also effective because of belief. Theres only mushrooms around me so will I eventually turn to the mushroom cult?

[1. TN Note: During the Edo period, it was custom to hang sardine heads to ward demons away]

I begin to explore deeper into the forest, Ive gathered enough food, Ive had enough mushrooms

More goblins approach, this time there are 3 of them. Lv 14, Lv 11, and Lv 10. I used [Movement] and [Wrapping Magic] then ambush again. I defeated Goblin A with a single blow but it was a bit sloppy as I almost moved in the wrong direction. Its okay though, the distance from Goblin B widened so I need to launch a quick attack. ShitUgh, as I receive a counter. When I use [Movement], Im unable to avoid launching into them.

In the meantime, its a combination of evasion, movement, and more evasion in my fight with Goblin C. If I decide my course of action first, it will be advantageous towards me in an instant, but if I move slowly, it will be disadvantageous for me at once. Its a double-edged sword, well a wooden stick actually.

After that, I practice with [Movement] in mind, if I find it then I practice it. I can now also surround my entire body with Wrapping Magic without much hassle.

Its [Movement] that is dangerous, and its a secret that I fell two times. I wont cry.

I took more damage than I had expected, so I returned to the cave immediately. The damage I received was from the club that I hit myself with and the damage I received crashing into the goblins. Well suicide, not a suicide attack, but true suicide. A blitzer whose special move is being a Klutz. The last goblin was the hardest to kill although Im not sure what level it was.

It wore a bracelet, so I took it, and it was a complete act of looting.. I wonder if Im a thief, a robber, or an unemployed person

[2. TN Note: Perhaps all three?]

Late lunch in the cave, dont ask me anything. Lets open my status.

Yosha, my level went up. The InT has finally risen to 40, and the other stats have risen to around 30. Judging just by status, Im a lot stronger than a goblin? However, I am not convinced since I struggled in the big one-on-one battle at the end.

Speaking of which, I was wearing a bracelet, I took out the bracelet and used Appraisal on it.

BraceletMonster Bracelet

Yeah, it raises my power although only by 1%. Its still better than nothing. I decided to use the bracelet although Im not a monster.

It was evening and my stamina had all recovered, so I decided to take a walk upstream around the river. There arent many goblins on this course, and there should be only small fry.

I feel a presence upstream but its not a goblin. I head into the forest while hiding and moving slowly with a steady yet quick movement to not make noise. I use [Clairvoyance], I can see three human men. When I closely examined them, they were my classmates, but its a troublesome one, a delinquent at school, and the evil of the class, although thats just how I viewed it. Theyre people that flock together and make noise to bully the nerds but thats about it.

I use Appraisal while hidden, I can only see Lv and Job. Their jobs are Great Swordsman, Dual Swordsman, Flame Engineer, Lv 11, 3, and 2, there is quite a huge difference.

I decide to hide nearby for now. They sat down near the river and started talking so I approached them to hear the conversation. Most of the conversation was useless information, erotic talk about girls.

20 out of 42 classmates are girls, and there is an otaku who seems to be particularly active, sort of an unpleasant situation, well, hes probably the most familiar with skills and other information related to transferring to another world. Other than that, it seems that the girls selfish Bitch group and five other girls are in a conflict.

These three are the bully groups, they dont do any work at all, and theyre still acting selfish, what about those girls? I wonder if theyre going to assault the girls, I guess its impossible, girls have the class representative, and I think shell easily see through their plans and crush them.

It is the class representative who from elementary school year 1, to high school year 2, made students obedient whether they were problematic students or delinquents

Hmm? What the hell, while these three delinquents are talking to each other, I didnt seem to notice thembut is there someone nearby? Itd be a hassle if they noticed me.

I sneak away from the place but I continue to monitor from a distance, but there is no sign of anyone other than those three, not even a trace?

I dont know whats going on, but I dont need to force myself to get invo Lv ed, Im going home.

I found out that all of my classmates were upstream but there was no real reason for me to go and meet them, it seemed like there was some sort of troublesome situation and the human relationships seemed muddy. I hope they dont let that mud flow downstream to me. Thats environmental pollution, will my Hikikomori environment be polluted? ? Or is it perhaps a Loner environment or a Botchi environment? It looks like its already polluted, by the person known as me.

Lets return to the cave before it gets dark, I hunt two goblins on the way. I dont know the effect of + 1% on the bracelet at all yet, I could easily get rid of the goblins because Id gotten better at hiding my presence. I can use this skill, time for practice.

After that, I found out there were rabbits who excelled at concealing their presence, I couldnt find it then without removing my presence. It was the first time after coming to this world to see animals. The first thing that came to mind was meat then rabbit hunting. I grab something that seems like a mushroom and I eat the first decent meal Ive had in awhile.

It was a feast, it was delicious. How many days has it been since Ive eaten meat? The meat was accompanied by mushrooms, but that wasnt a problem. Mushrooms are great as side dishes, but the mushrooms play a leading role too frequently. It is a solo performance!

What should I do with the tiny rabbit fur? Sell it? Its impossible unless I hunt a 100 or so? Thats too many.

I practice my magic leisurely, an everyday occupation kind of feeling. I conduct trial and error to see whether the residence can be improved a little more, casting Packing on the ground and seeing what happens? Pulling and seeing what happens? Stretching it and seeing what happens? Harden it, make a hole in the ground, make a mound, or shape it? Huh, for some reason this is kind of fun. I forgot the time. Oh yeah, it was midnight.

Hikikomori and Loner went up. Is it because I didnt even try to make contact with my classmates? Was it because I was having fun playing alone in the room? I wouldve cried if NEET went up after working this much. These titles hurt me emotionally.

Earth Magic? Ah~messing around with the cave was seen as Earth Magic. Is it okay to gain Fire Magic from grilling mushrooms and Earth Magic from tunneling a cave? Is this how its supposed to be in another world? Isnt it too livelihood focused?

It seems like it was a good idea to sneak around and hide myself. Erase presence and Stealth are good skills, theyll help me in assassinating goblins. Lets be sneaky tomorrow and raise my level. Whats with this lifestyle in another world, its not nearly as gorgeous like in light novels. At the very least, the protagonist wouldnt say, Im going to be sneaky tomorrow as well.

Well, Im going to be sneaky either way. I mean of course I am.
