Manowa Chapter 4

Manowa 4

Let’s explain

Editor: Sher

“Night Vision huh…”

While looking at the skill that was displayed in the window, Kazane scratched her head.

(I think it’s a skill that prevents the user's eyesight, to be reduced at night)

If she remembers correctly, it’s a passive skill that can be learned by a thief in an event.

(But the goblin also has this skill, since they are originally nocturnal.)

'Just like the Goblin language, this skill most likely comes from the goblins...'

“This means learning skills from monsters, right?…”

“Kazane, so unfair! Not only the level, but the skill too!”

(…Is that the problem?)

Kazane can only smile wryly at Yumika, who was looking at her skill window from side.

“First things first, let’s allocate the stat points. With my current stats, it will be impossible for me to use the sword.”

While saying so Kazane opens the window and allocate bonus point to strength. 8+5=13, as long she uses both her hands, she should be able to use the long sword.

“Then...”

Kazane draws and grips the sword that was placed at her waist.

(As I thought, this is heavy)

While feeling moved by the weight of the first real sword she has ever held, Kazane grips the sword with both hands and swings it 2 to 3 times.

“Oh! The sword is a bit dirty, but it seems it’s a good sword…”

“Yep. It has high durability so it can be used till middle stage.”

Hearing that answer Yumika added a question with a bitter expression.

“What you mean middle stage, game stuff right?”

“Yes, it’s game term?”

Against Yumika’s question she only replies with “What are you saying?” Seeing Kazane’s expression, Yumika shows a bitter smile.

“Well, with this, everything should go well.”

As if she had prepared her resolve, Yumika faces Kazane.

“Kazane, where do you think you’re right now?”

“Where?”

In a world inside a game “Zexiahart Biography of Illusions”. The southeast of the Fion Continent. In the grassland northeast of Conrad town. That is the information that comes to mind.

But, without waiting for Kazane’s answer, Yumika announced.

“Actually, this is not inside a game.”

“Hah?”

Kazane can’t understand the meaning of those words.

She assumed that she’s inside a game…'Zexiahart Biography of Illusions'. Before she reached here, she had unconsciously judged it that way. She decided to.

“But isn’t this place just like the game. There’s no doubt about it. Right now we are in Fion's continent, right?”

But for Yumika who came here 1 week ago, that assumption had already collapsed. Why….

“Right now, 1000 years have already passed from this game's era.”

“HAAH?”

What came out from her classmates mouth, was the same, but now higher and louder “Hah?”.

“As I said, it’s 1000 years latter. The 'Grandzenoa Empire' is already extinct, and now the currency used here is, Kirigia Firm currency.”

“Bu-but the 'Signa Ruin'. Isn’t it just like when it was a game? That mechanism, and even this sword.”

While Kazane was showing her sword and swinging it around, Yumika said “well…” she held her head.

“This is also weird for me. Actually when I accepted the quest, I also thought perhaps this is just a ‘coincidently’ similar quest.”

“Coincidence?”

“Right, didn’t I said I came here a week ago?”

Kazane nods.

“I don’t know the reason, but I was suddenly thrown in front Conrad town. I can open the window, but to go out and kill monsters is scary, then when I was troubled about what to do, the manager of an inn, a landlady named Rinrie, picked me up.”

“Inn in Conrad town…is it 'Rangil Inn'?”

“No. It’s a place with a cooking pot mark. 'Rangil inn' is no longer there. It has lost its friendly market after 1000 years, right?”

“No, I think it won’t be weird even if 'Frema' was still here. Since Chiki Marukun is tasty.”

“What was that?”

(I want eat Chiki Marukun…)

Now Kazane started to feel hungry.

“Anyway! I don’t know why, but we can read the letters in this country, and with a little research, you can understand the country's history or structure. This place is just like the 1000th year after the game.”

“I see. Then how about this 'Signa Ruin'? Isn’t it a bit too similar with the game?”

Hearing that, Yumika folded one arm, pondering.

“That’s true. It was a coincidence for me too when the landlady has business with an adventurer guild, I found a request that was identical with the first quest in game.”

“That sounds like an event.”

“Right. Actually in that kind unknown predicament, I thought ‘this might be a clue’ or something.”

Then with strength like grasping at a straw she accepted that quest…Yumika said.

“Then afterwards it was just like a game. I’m surprised. Why in a world that is similar but different than the game, why is only that thing is the same. Well, when the goblins appeared my head blanked out. I think I would really have been killed if you hadn’t come.”

“…”

“That’s way I feel gratitude towards you. Truly.”

Yumika laughed when she said that. But then she erased her smile and faced me with serious expression.

“But, because of that I wish that you would refrain from thinking that this is the same as the game. This is not inside the game.”

“I want you understand that if you died, you can’t ‘continue’.”

Then after listening to Yumika words that contained seriousness much different from before, Kazane...

“Yes, yes”

Answering in a careless manner.

“Hei!”

It’s only natural that Yumika’s expression changed completely into that of disappointment.

“I said this seriously, you know. Are you sure you want to react like that?”

Kazane holding the agitated Yumika back and brought her face closer to her while raising her voice slightly.

“Please calm down Yumika. What you want to say is ‘you can’t proceed like in 'Zexiahart’, right?”

“Yes, thats right. You can interpret it like that.”

Actually it has more direct implication, ‘if you proceed with the gaming mood you’ll die’, but since Kazane’s reply is not off the mark, let’s agree,

“But you know, I was actually thinking it’s kind of advantage since we can life here with same means when it was a game. If I remember correctly, the main character's most distinct feature in this game, was being a foreigner and had absorption skill, practically we’re also like that.”

Yumika nods.

Zexiahart main character can absorb monsters that he/she killed and increase their power. It was actually an offering toward the demon that slept within them to increase their power, but right now it’s materialized as level up and bonus point for Kazane and Yumika. Then since they have the advantage as this world main characters, basically they can train normally and steadily increased their level.

“That’s why I thought that for us living in this world, shouldn't it be pretty easy.”

Against that emphasis,

“You’re really positive, aren’t you?”

Yumika answers with an astounded expression.

“Well, but with that kind of outlook, the future certainly seems brighter.”

“You think so?”

Kazane answer while laughing.

Actually Kazane didn’t simply accept this world that positively.

That’s because, suddenly thrown into life crisis, meet man eating monsters named goblin, then ‘that room’ which they used to eat and for their ‘amusement’. Originally something that even the main character of this world doesn’t usually encounter. Kazane's encounter with it, stimulated her instinct. How she had distributed her bonus points into wisdom, proved to be the correct measure. It had brought a better result, more than she had expected.

And at the same time, she had determined to prioritize ‘her own self’ and ‘hunt other than that’.

“Then...perhaps this world also has demon king.”

Of course she also can’t deny, that it has stimulated her overflowing chuuni adventurous spirit.
