Elfaria Chapter 2

002. Cheat? What's that, is it delicious?

　If I told you that I personally feel like I am traveling in Europe, would you understand a little?

　The architecture is a clever combination of stone and wood, and the roads are paved with stone.

　Horse-drawn carriages and animal carriages pass along the road.

　A race of people who clearly do not look like humans.

　Moderate distribution of street trees and electric lights―And in the distance is a huge wall that probably separates the city from the outside world.

　I have never traveled abroad before, so I looked around like a country bumpkin.

「As for money, it seems to be safe to assume that 『1 wen = 100 yen』」

　I looked at the products sold in various stores, and finally decided that the price of a hot dog and a drink sold at a stall was 2 Wen, so I decided to go with that.

　The currency and coins seem to be almost the same as those in Japan.

　A 10-wen bill is a 1,000-yen bill.

　A 5-wen coin is a 500-yen coin.

　A 1-wen coin is a 100-yen coin, a copper coin is a 10-yen coin, and an iron coin is a 1-yen coin.

　From the looks of it, it would not be surprising if there were 50-wen and 100-wen bills, but I don't have them on hand right now, so I'm going to hold off.

　I also noticed that the prices of daily necessities, such as foodstuffs, were much lower than in modern Japan.

　In fact, you couldn't buy a hot dog at a convenience store for 100 yen. There are taxes, too.

　On the other hand, weapons, and armor. Sundries and cosmetics. Clocks, furniture, etc. seem to be a little expensive.

(Nevertheless, I don't know what to make of the fact that the cheapest accommodation is priced at "10 wens per night")

　I know in theory that this is a different world and Japanese common sense does not apply, but ......

「And the money they gave me was 100 Wen, which means it's only 10,000 Yen, right?」

　That's way too little for any amount of money!

　Sure, you could probably live on it for a few days if you trimmed it down, but――

(Even I, an amateur, can see that the cheap swords and leather armor! And then the King threw away a mere 10,000 yen and said, "Go kill the Demon King!" It's on the level of crazy or anything like that!)

　I'll give it up, though, because there's nothing I can do about it now that I'm aware of it, and if I had gone on a rampage there, I'm sure I would have been trashed by the soldiers nearby.

「..... Hmm? Wait?」

　I was lost in the fact that I had been transferred to another world, but then I realized that there is an important "promise" that is indispensable to this kind of development. That is

「In a case like this, it's a standard practice to be given "cheat abilities" by God or something.」

　I moved to a place out of the way and checked the [Status] again, but no matter how carefully I looked around, there was no such description. In other words

「...... So 'no cheats'!? Goddamniiiiiiit!!!」

　What the hell is this!? Isn't this crazy!?

　No one would want that kind of development! Especially me!

　Or what? Are you saying that you're asking me to "Bound play"!?

　That's not even funny!

　In such a case, you are a warrior with cheat abilities, and the cute girls like you one-sidedly, and then you'll end up in a Yahnn♡ situation, you know!

「...... It's over」

　Unfortunately, Yuuto Orihara's adventure ended here.

――FIN

　......I couldn't just let it happen, and I couldn't stand the thought of dying in the field without doing something about it.

「Okay. Yes, I'll do it. Let's kill that king and all of his entourage」

　I don't care about the Demon King. I think it would be more unexpected to say, "The king was the Demon King!"

　But the road seems to be endless and difficult.

　I don't think he will meet me even if I go back to the castle and ask for a meeting, and as long as he is protected by the strong Kingsguard, no matter what I do, I will never get a chance to meet him.

「I'm only at level 1, and if I don't do anything, it's game over...」

　It's too irrational to be true, but at a time like this, I suddenly remembered what my father used to say to me when I was a child.

「...... "Enjoy life! He who enjoys life will be the winner of "Fate"! huh?」

　I know these words are very easy to say, but there is no use in being sad, and it is a little better than doing things without any purpose.

　What I actually do may change when the time comes.

「.......So I guess the next thing I need to look for is a job. ......」

　I'm still in high school.

　Even though I was still in high school, I felt like an old man who went to Hello Work because he couldn't find a job, and I couldn't help but shrug my shoulders.
