Chapter 6 Training Start
Because of her too straightforward personality, I continue to explain while my heart being hurt by the poison that comes out from Haru’s mouth. I won’t be disheartened, I won’t be disheartened!
「Haru’s job is a magician, but have you noticed the level notation next to the job?」
「Yes, the old man also seemed to measure strength based on that level.」
「It’s a good guess, yes. It’s an important topic from here, so take note. Job and skill have level respectively, and even if you defeat a monster, it doesn’t mean it will go up. Especially the job level rarely goes up. It seems that Hero-kun and Karate girl mentioned in Haru’s misfortune talk were level 5, but if their level goes up, they may have top-class power as a human being. Of course, the next level up will be far away.」
「Fumufumu」
「Also, the higher the level of the job, the more plus correction in your status. In your case, your MP and magic power will increase a little.」
「F-fumufumu… Shishou, I have a question!」
Haru’s way of raising hand is neat as ever. I, who have bent back, want to learn that.
「Yeah, what?」
「Just now you said that the level doesn’t go up even if you defeat a monster, then how to raise the level?」
「Obvious question, huh. But before that, let’s talk about skills. At the bottom of your status, there are skill slots category, right?」
「Let me see, there are two that are not set.」
「Try to press it lightly with your finger.」
Haru, who tilted her head, do as what she was told and made a gesture of pushing a button with her index finger toward the air.
「Shishou, an enormous number of letters are somehow lining up….」
「The screen shows the choice of skill setting. It should contain the skills that you have experienced. If you were doing martial arts, there should be 『Hand-to-hand combat』, 『Swordmasmanship』, and 『Evasion』, right?」
「Ah, yes, eh? Can a magician learn martial arts skills?」
「That’s the interesting part, yes. But to raise the job level, you have to raise the skill level related to that job. In other words, if you raise the related skill level to a certain level, the job level will go up. If you’re a magician, the skill is something like 『Fire Magic』 or 『Water Magic』.」
「Wait a minute. I’m doing my best taking notes now!」
Haru is desperately summarizing the current topic. Well, around here is hard at first. The smoke that’s coming out of her head is turning black a little. Is she alright?
「By the way, have you ever used magic?」
「No!」
「Yeah, being honest is good. Is there a magic skill in your skill choice?」
「No! …… Ah, no!? Shishou, I encountered a crisis where my job skill won’t rise! I will stay at level 1 for the rest of my life!」
Haru’s brain has reached its limit, steam is coming out in addition to the smoke. Should I stop? I also want to eat.
「Calm down, even if you don’t have it now, it will appear if you learn the basics. For now, put together what I’ve just explained and serve the meal. After eating, I’ll train you with what’s better for you. You’re probably better by putting it into practice.」
「H-hyes…」
………… I guess I should at least arrange the food.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The lunch was fried rice and egg soup. There is rice in this world, I bought it when I went shopping. It seems that my decision when I gave Haru, who still didn’t know about the monetary sense in this world, the minimum knowledge and threw a week’s food expenses was right. She was negotiating with the store ossan to reduce the price, and brought enough food and extra change. It’s at if her living ability is like a mother.
「Does it suits your taste?」
「… Delicious.」
It’s been a long time since I had fried rice after coming to this world, but this is really delicious. There should be a lot of ingeredients that she saw for the first time, but she was able to make this fried rice with the things in this otherworld. I was really surprised. The egg soup is also has a good accent as the fluffy egg is entwined with umami. If you drink soup, it will make you want to eat the fried rice again. If you eat the fried rice, you want to have the soup again――
「――Thank you for the meal.」
「Thank you.」
I ate everything. When I noticed, I was completely ate everything. Ahh, to think the day of me being deeply moved this far by eating fried rice comes. I was underestimating Haru. The food culture of eating delicious food is a wonderful thing.
「To be honest, I didn’t think you could do the housework this far. It’s perfect.」
「W-what’s gotten into you?」
「No, setting aside the disciple thing, I would normally want to hire you as a housework helper. Haru, if you have trouble with your job, you can work at my place. I will welcome you with a higher salary than the servant from the castle. Or rather, live here.」
「Ah, are you not joking around and seriously saying that?」
「I’m telling you. I’m pretty serious.」
「I-I will consider about it…」
She puts the fried rice into her mouth while slightly blushing, perhaps she was embarrassed because I praised her. Hmm, maybe we didn’t need a trial period. If it’s an OK when looking at her situation as a disciple, it’s more than enough to clear the condition―― and above all, it is interesting to see her.
「Haru, after eating and washing the dishes, change into the sportswear that Canon brought to you and come to the garden. It’s the long-awaited training.」
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
My home has a reasonable distance to the nearest town. It was built in the middle of dense trees where you have to climb an unpopulated mountain. Although Canon and the like have been traveling back and forth between towns and castles these days, that alone can be quite an exercise. It’s also the reason why I don’t want to go out to the town so much. It may seem inconvenient at first glance, but there are things I can do if I’m here. If I put a bit barrier around, a bit explosion won’t leak to the outside and won’t bother anyone. Well, it also means that I can more or less do ridiculous things.
「Well, let’s study skills in this garden.」
「Eh!? Study…?」
「Don’t make a face that like a dog that’s being told to wait… It’s just a figure of speech. Actually, what we will do is raising your level and having you experience it. In your case, this is better than explaining in words, right?」
「That is better! By all means!」
You are desperate, huh?
「Haru, which do you want if you were to pick a martial arts skill?」
「Martial arts? Hmm, from what I saw before, hand-to-hand combat I guess? I’m pretty confident in it.」
Haru takes a stance while saying so. Is this some kind of martial arts stance? I’m an amateur in that area, so I don’t know. But it’s looking good.
「Okay, let’s pick that.」
「Is that okay? There are only two skill slots though?」
「Even if you learn it, there is one more slot. Use it for a magic skill. First, it’s better to learn from your specialty field, which will lead to your confidence. Just pick it without hesitation, the talk will be after that.」
「Ossu, understood!」
Haru makes such a martial arts style greeting and begins to set up her skill enthusiastically. She was happy after all. It seems that the hand-to-hand combat skill has been set successfully.
「Then, try to practice martial arts. Try to concentrate as much as possible and thoroughly.」
「Um, then I’ll do a thrusting technique. Fuu…」
The skill level can be raised by performing related actions. If it is 『Cooking』, it will rise the more you cook, and if it is 『Swordsmanship』, it’s practice-swinging or sham battle. However, it doesn’t mean that you only have to do it. The more passionate you are, the faster the level up. On the other hand, doing it sluggishly and skipping out will meet the worst end. Lying doesn’t work against skill. The most effective for martial arts line is the most concentration sense, you need a life-threatening battle though…. Well, while her level is low, it’s enough with just practice the form――
「Shishou! The level was increased when I did one jab!」
――――No, that’s too fast no matter how you think about it.
