Lonely Attack on the Different World Chapter 2

What is the mysterious radio gymnastics 3?

{a tl note right off the bat theres a 1&2 workout, but not a 3?!?}

Day 2 Cave

　I wake up to an unfamiliar ceiling.

　Theres gonna be a lot of cliches in this different world, so we might as well start with the ceiling.

{https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/UnfamiliarCeiling}

　There seems to be no problem during the night. The tents and lanterns had [avoidance of monsters], and the place of residence was protected with the effect of [hikikomori]. But what happens while you are out? You may need a door, you will also need a mailbox, just in case.

　Lets use fire magic to light the bonfire that went out during the night, I can't ignite the kindling unless im holding it in my hand. It seems too hot to just hold fire in your hand. I don't want to get burnt, especially after that speech from that old man …

{the old man/god was talking about a hot soul, or some kinda tempered soul}

　Remove the frying pan, preserved dried meat and mushrooms from the item bag and mince them with a knife and cutting board. Take out salt, plates and cups. Of course, it was villager A's goods, were these things from his house?

　Put a frying pan on top of the bonfire and heat until its warm. Stir in chopped and shredded meat and thick sliced mushrooms, stir-fry, and cover with a small amount of water when the food turns brown. Shake the frying pan finely to avoid scorching, steam until enough water evaporates, salt lightly and adjust the taste. Hmmm, it smells good, but the only ingredients that I have now are from the bag of items and the mushrooms from the forest. The seasonings will only run out from now on because there is only A's salt. I can also find meat and fish in the forest. There may be bamboo shoots somewhere. …… Lets not start fighting over whats better.

{https://blog.gaijinpot.com/takenoko-no-sato-vs-kinoko-no-yama/ its basically what chocolate is better, bamboo shoots or mushrooms}

　When I went out to draw water, I looked around with [Senri-eye] and didn't see any bamboo shoots. Bamboo seems impossible to find, the war has been avoided.

　I'm thinking about what to do while eating, for the time being securing food and shelter are the most important. This will be the top priority, then safety and monster countermeasures.

　This cave may be my home now, but there is also a tent that will allow me to find shelter somewhere else if needed, but a cave with an entrance that can close would be safer. A cave that can be withdrawn into would be wonderful.

　If there is no food around here, let's consider moving elsewhere, securing food but also being safe about it. Hmm? Usually the adventure would start, but im suddenly a hikkimori? If so, will I stop working soon? As expected, different world skills are scary!

　In this way lets enter the forest to collect firewood and mushrooms, proceeding while searching and appraising. Yesterday, I was exploring the downstream side, so today I will go to the upstream side.

　The [Senri-eye] is great at helping me find mushrooms and medical herbs. Going forward picking up firewood, timber and ivy.

{idk if theres a difference between medical herbs and the medical mushrooms, ill let ya know if i figure it out}

　The usual pattern is being summoned by the nobility, im supposed to be summoned to a royal castle or something, but im already in the countryside! I'm already in the forest without being driven out of the castle! Moreover, the only character in this story is me, im the only one! Is this really a “different world~” story? Whats the difference between this and the Robinson family?

{https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Swiss_Family_Robinson <- a family gets shipwrecked and its a survival kinda story}

　Let's go back to the cave soon. I don't have a watch or phone so i'm not sure what the time is. There's no need to ask why I don't have a cell phone, don't ask! Absolutely don't ask!

　I'm close to exiting the forest, the cave will be in sight soon. But I can't move. Do you feel something? Is it a monster? Is it an animal? … maybe a classmate? No doubt they're definitely not friendly. Yeah, there's no mistake.

　It's in the way, I can't go around. I'll hide so i cant be seen, make sure to not make a noise, look for signs, look for signs … I found it! “Appraisal”!

　Something like a short humanoid, an ugly face that resembles neither humans nor animals, and a stubby grayish brown body. Goblin-san, the weakest of the weakest, the smallest of the small fish, if i can't beat it then i can't say anything bad about it. Depending on the story, even a child can defeat it … should it be slightly weak? And there are two.

　While weak, you start by defeating the goblin and raise your level. At first it's goblin or slime, but thats the thing, the status is higher than I thought and it's stronger than me … Can I win? No, I'm stuck if I can't beat the goblin. As soon as you enter the forest, you must be prepared to fight.

　Now it's a surprise attack, if I was suddenly attacked, i couldn't do anything, no doubt. The surprise attack is overwhelmingly advantageous. You can aim for deafeating individuals one by one, you can also choose the location that you fight, in order to get the most advantageous terrain. You can even choose your timing, in order to be absolutely sure of your win. If you can beat it.

　The problem is Hp and Vit, and PoW. If you think about the numbers alone (all of mine are 10, except for Luk) their Hp is 4 times what i have, ViT is about 2.5 times? In other words, in pure stat numbers, they are 10 times higher than me. If you also consider PoW, they are 20 times higher than me.

{hp = 4times x vit =2.5 times = 10, pow = 2 times, so hes multiplying all these stats to see how much stronger they are than him}

　On the other hand, my HP is 10 and Goblin's PoW is around 20, I would get knocked out by a single blow. Then you need to hit 10 shots without getting hit. It is a number that is impossible just by surprise.

　Spe and DeX are about the same, so they can't be overwhelmed by speed. The only winners are Int and Luk, InT is 10 times, and LuK is unsurpassed. It may be possible if InT means intelligence, but it is meaningless if it is magical power.

{in some games int=intelligence and is how smart you are, but in some int=how much magic damage you do}

　For the time being, I have a wooden stick with an attack power of [?]. The other party also has a club, but theres a chance i'll be defeated in one hit by it. Though on the other hand, it might be an advantage for me if the heavy club is slowed by its weight.

　Moreover, is it more damaging to hit the back of the head or neck? If double damage is generated, it will be 5 shots, the surprise effect will also help with dealing damage.

{in D&D, crits give you double damage}

　I'm not sure how many hits are required for the current status we have, the only way to figure it out is with an experiment during battle.

　If you try, you can understand; but if you don't try, you can't understand. First of all, lets ensure I have an escape route.

　The SpE is the same for both me and the goblins, but the difference in height is extremely large, especially the length of the legs, the length of the legs! I said it twice because it's important! This will also be on the exam.

　If I run away, it'll be towards the cave. If I can get back to the cave, the effect of [Hikkimori] might activate, and the entrance is narrow so it'll be a 1-on-1 fight. Even if I'm escaping, it'll be an advantage for me.

　I'll start the attack by getting between the direction of the cave and the goblins, I'll run away immediately if I fail. Slow down and move slowly to avoid making noise, I can aim for Goblin A from here. If I can beat it before Goblin B shows up it'll be two seperate 1-on-1 fights instead of a disadvantageous 2-on-1 fight.

　With bated breath, I quietly approach until i'm within leaping distance. Goblin A isn't looking this way and Goblin B is further away. When do I kill it? Now! Isn't it scary?

　With one move, I leap and hit with an attack from upper-stance. I land another blow on the now bent over goblin. I follow it up with further hits from side-stance. I will continue to beat it until Goblin B comes within range. When Goblin B arrives, even if Goblin A is not dead, it will not be able to fight.

{https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/J%C5%8Ddan-no-kamae <- upper stance}
{https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waki-gamae <- side stance}

　Goblin B rushes in while swinging its club, its swings are large, but it is unexpectedly hard to avoid. Avoid the swing, then avoid and attack.

　The goblin attack is monotonous, and there is nothing strange about it. I just dodge its attacks.

　I keep observing its attacks.

　When I can see the movement calmly, I can read the next action. It's a counter.

　While fighting the goblin: I dodge its attack, I land a hit with the wooden stick, and then I back away before repeating the process. It's a slow buildup in damage.

　While weakening, the ferociousness increases, it becomes irritated, and its attacks become more reckless. I screamed and start my swing from upper-stance. My wooden stick lands a hit on its throat and I started to avoid the return attack, but the club was never swung down.

　I take a distance and adjust my breath. I was able to get through this fight without any injuries. Although it wasn't a beautiful win, it was the only the first battle. Killing each goblin in a 1-on-1. That's good enough.

　Both goblins aren't moving, but I hit them once each, just in case. Then I take the club as my loot and wash my face with river water.

　I was more tired mentally than physically. At the end of the battle with the second, the attack and movement were completely visible. Im not sure about my body's range of motion or my reflexes, but it feels more responsive. This will be enough for the first battle in this world.

　There are many differences in this world, but this should be the first thing I get used to.

　But is it because this is the first thing that really sets this place apart as a different world?

　I returned to the cave and took a rest. I assemble a simple lattice door with the wood and ivy that I picked up while hunting for mushrooms.

　I picked up as much wood as I could, so theres a lot that is being dried by temperature magic and stacked. Thank you item bag.

　And the carpentry work was especially useful with [Weight] magic, since it can be lightened, it can be assembled easily. I can do it by myself! I can do it, okay! Leave me alone! !

　I wipe off my sweat with water and wash my clothes. I'm not good at exercising, but i don't like sweating through my clothes, and I don't like getting my clothes dirty. This is a different world, but i'm not a different person. I wasn't suitable for the original world, but then again was there even a need for a person like me?

　Conflict is still difficult, and it is dangerous if there is no deciding factor. I can only choose to rely on magic if my other skills are completely useless.

　There is fire magic that can be used in this world, and there are also things that rely on magic. I know I can't rely on that old man. I don't know if my magic will improve, but if I can weaponise it, then I'll be able to fight easier.

　If possible, I would like use it as a long-distance attack, but it would be impossible if the Lv doesn't increase. I must fight to raise the Lv.

　I'll try using fire type magic with [Temperature] and [Fire Magic], but with [Temperature] the fire will only light slowly, the fire magic can make a fireball, but it's small and only a short distance away, at most It will be about 2-3 meters. If I want to shoot fireball, it'll require a lot of concentration and it will be difficult to cast in the middle of an actual battle. Atleast it's fun to use, so lets practice a little more.

　It is quite difficult to swing a wooden stick under the effects of [Weight]. If it is heavy from the beginning, it will be difficult to swing, and if you try to make it heavy at the moment of hitting, it will also be difficult. Is it about stopping? Let's practice for the time being. Hunger.

{idk why they use ” フンガー ” = hunger, im pretty sure its a dragon quest reference -> }

　Lets try to wrap a wooden stick with magical power by using [Packing] … mmmm, I can't understand the effect? I feel like something has happened, but I'm not sure what happened. Lets practice packing a wooden stick with magical power and swinging with it. I'm not sure if it will help me with increasing [Packing] Lvl, but it will atleast help me practice [Cane arts].

　[Movement] is difficult to practice, because there is also [walking]. With [walking], the distance of about 10 steps will be 7-8 steps. During the fight earlier, when I leapt, the Goblin was surprised when I closed in. I was also surprised. We hit it off straight away, but I killed you.

{this is weird, japanese “we hit it off” = 意気投合= we got along quickly}

　That alone is difficult, but if I use [Movement], I tumbled. I hit the wall. The [klutz] attributes or titles are likely to be attached, will you charge the goblin while saying “Wawawa”? There seems to be demand for young girls but not for high school boys.

{instead of klutz, its https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dojikko this is also the bit for this line, its a cute girl whos clumsy}

　I suddenly came up with an idea and tried to wrap my body in [packing]. At first, it took time, but it gradually became faster and I was able to wrap it in an instant.

　If you move around as it is, your body will move well and the movement will somehow be faster. Is it a placebo? I like it?

　Isn't it possible to use physical manipulation? Or is it raising my physical and magic defense? Even if I don't understand the effect, I'll need to practice. Wrapping, moving, hitting with a stick … a play party! Let's leave it to the young girls. There should be no demand for high school boys because I don't want to see me.

{https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/お遊戯 = お遊戯 = play its like recess, but more organized}

　I can use some trial and error during practice to find out what it's effect is. Yeah, after that I have to try it in a real battle. Then I will know if there is an effect.

　Thats it for today, im all out of stamina and my magical power is low. Let's sleep.

　Before that, lets check over what my stats are with [Appraisal] … Speaking of which, lets also appraise this goblin club, [Appraisal].

　[Wooden Club – a club made from wood – grade 10], my wooden stick is [?]. So I can't compare the stats, but the club is heavy and short, so I'll keep using my wooden stick.

{usually skills are listed with “Lvl” in english, but written with 俺の = grade/rating/rank, so this might be an attack modifier}

　On another note, [Appraisal].

{the question marks are in the raw, idk. also, not sure if its [lost soul ring] or [samurai ring], so ill stick with samurai. this was cause there was some wordplay and retorts by the mc in the last chapter when talking about the ring}

　My Lv went up! ! The status is more than doubled. The rate of increase is better than I thought, i'd be fine with a 1x increase, but thank you for the more than 2x increase. This will make it easier to fight. SpE and Dex are 2.5 times larger, the speed increase will definitely be advantageous while attacking.

　SpE and Dex rose the most, am I a speed type? It doesnt matter how powerful they are if they can't hit me? It's close to 3x what I originally had …

{“….if they cant hit me?” is a gundam reference }

　InT is also good, but is it because I practiced magic? Or is it because I fought mentally? Im finally in another world and all im doing is speed learning!? Well no, ive never done that before.　

　That? Dangerous! [Sensitive] is up! No, I'm not doing anything strange? It's True? I've only met the goblin? There was no such thing as “Kut, kill!” and getting caught by the goblin. Why did it go up? Maybe it was sensitive skin?

　Yep, let's pretend i didn't see that. Alright, oh! [Cane art] is going up, ive just been hitting things with a stick, but it's still going up. Could this be that? If I get a kill with a weapon, it also helps increase the weapon art Lv?

　If you think so, Lv up itself was cursed so the rise of Lv was slow, so I did not expect to level up with just two goblins, but was it OK if I killed? It is certainly a status that is likely to be killed in one battle, so it can be thought of as one kill.

{not sure about this last line}

　Since it was Lv8 and 7, it could be a Lv difference. I don't know the standards, I'd like have a strategy guide delivered. I'd need to know the address, but im not sure of the name of this world. I may have heard it but I don't remember it. It's definitely that old man's fault.

　I did gymnastics every morning, so that was the first thing I did today! ? Is it going up already? Is gymnastics the first skill you get when you come to in a different world? Will legendary radio gymnastics 2 be remembered when Lv goes up? If i can master it, the mysterious gymnastics 3 will be in my hand …will I be saying “Gym teacher, I want to do radio gymnastics!”?

　After that, it is [Appraisal] [Presence Detection] and [Search]. Thank you for going up.

　What I don't understand is [Magic Wrapping Lv1]. Is [Magic Control Lv1] an effect of practice, or is it because you used [Weight] during battle? Well, you know.

　[Magic Wrapping]? Is it a derivation from [Packing] because you wear it, or is it because you put your body and wooden sticks together? I expected my body to be strengthened because I put magical powers on my body … What is the difference from [packing] in the first place?

　Oh i'm sleepy. Tomorrow is tomorrow … But what about radio gymnastics 3?

{his skill 体操 = “taiso” is gymnastics, and theres a radio taiso 1 and radio taiso 2, so hes wondering whats gonna happen when his skill is 3}
