Chapter 18: "I attacked the wyvern."

 Bridget's way of speaking left a strong impression on me. So, I tried to imitate her. "...Kuu-chan flies. ...Where to? ...I wonder. ...I don't know." It didn't work well. I couldn't go all the way to the point where she laughs. Seems like talent is required for this. Anyway, today I floated in the air, enjoying a leisurely sky journey. The continuous clear weather is truly appreciated. A caravan formed a convoy, advancing along the highway below. Oh. Goblins emerged from the forest and attacked. Adventurers in charge of escort quickly counterattacked. Easily repelled. Strong! After the battle, the adventurers examined the goblin corpses. And then, they stabbed a knife into the corpses, extracting something. I wonder what it is... Approaching, I could see. It was a transparent crystal-like stone. Inside, black light swirled. Probably a magic stone. First time seeing one. Impressed, I continued to watch, and then the goblin's corpse caught my eye. Slashed a...

Chapter 19 : "The Dungeon Town of Zanidea"

I entered the general store. It seemed like an adventurer's town, with ropes, bags, backpacks, hammers, and water bottles neatly displayed. Most of them were second-hand goods. Oh. Despite being torn in various places and in terrible condition, there was a child-sized robe. "Sir, how much is this?" Upon asking, the man sitting behind the counter stared at me as if assessing the item. "It's five silver coins." "What!?" Roughly equivalent to 50,000 yen!? Did he mistake me for some young lady!? "No way. Old man, where do you get five silver coins for this rag? Are you trying to pick a fight?" "That's a fair price here." "Five copper coins." I slammed two copper coins on the counter with force. Roughly 500 yen. "No, even that is—" "Are you trying to pick a fight?" After a brief standoff, the man averted his gaze. "... Fine, that's okay." I won! I did it. Now that you've underestima...

Chapter 17 "First Night"

Night. The sky was filled with numerous twinkling stars. The crescent moon looked beautiful too. Ah, the crescent moon. Nao, you must have already sworn for the revival of your homeland. You said that during the reincarnation. You're probably experiencing the hardships of being a hero right now. I hope it's not a hellish life. Erica and Yui are probably having a luxurious dinner by now. Nice. I'm alone, floating above the hill a little away from the castle city of Arle. I wanted to try sleeping outdoors. After all, I'm heading to the mountains. It's a place where monsters exist. I plan to stay there for a few days, so dangerous camping is inevitable. First, let's try sleeping near the seemingly safe town, that was my initial thought. However, I didn't think it through. Let's search for ores! I came all the way here without any preparations. Sleeping outside. No tent, no sleeping bag. I sat on a thick tree branch for starters. Yeah, impossible. Because th...

Chapter 16: "McNall's Shop"

I emerged onto a square with cracked cobblestones. Impermanence. It must have been lively here in the past. Now, there is no foot traffic, only weeds growing. "Look, over there." The blacksmith shop they were heading to was in one corner of the square. It looked like just another dilapidated building among the others. The signboard hanging outside read "McNall's Shop." "A skilled blacksmith, huh? Why bother setting up shop in a place like this?" "He's a guy who hates nobles. He doesn't want to take on requests, so he purposely set up his shop in a place like this." "I see." "I've never been to a blacksmith before. I'm looking forward to it!" "Me too!" "Hey, Ku, what kind of sword are you going to get?" "Hmm, I'm not sure. Just a regular one should be fine." "Since you have the chance, go for the most expensive one! A sword with lots of gemstones, like those displayed i...

Chapter 15: "I got lost"

Went into a cafe. Guided to an open terrace seat. "You can order whatever you like." "Really?" "Yeah, with one silver coin, you should be fine." Opened the menu. Although I knew from dining at the palace, there were sweets with cream and chocolate, priced from three to five copper coins. For a silver coin, it should be enough. "Do you mind if I order something that costs three copper coins?" "As much as you want." Showed the menu. "Oh, it's true. It costs this much?" "Didn't you know?" "Actually, it's my first time coming here." Oh. She laughed it off. "Tea costs two copper coins for a cup. It's quite expensive too." "That's okay. We're fine with one silver coin, right?" "Exactly." Ordered tea and shortcake for both of us, totaling one silver coin. "Just enough." She seemed to have plenty to spare. "I worried a bit because Ku mentioned str...

Chapter 14: "Participate in a talent contest."

 In the blue sky, I float and move leisurely. Ah, it's like I am a cloud. A cloud, huh? At first, I was flying using Silver Magic's "Flight," but "Flight" magic requires concentration. If concentration is broken, the magic disappears, and I fall. I nearly died. MP is also rapidly consumed, and it's tiring. Long-distance travel was tough. On the contrary, "Levitation" was easy. If I want to go somewhere, I just think about it, and I naturally move in that direction. No MP consumption. It's leisurely, and the wind feels pleasant. So, even though the speed is slow, I was floating and progressing in a completely relaxed, lying-down posture in the sky. Ahh, I'm sleepy. I'm thinking of just sleeping, but I'm resisting since I don't know what might happen. It's good weather. When I close my eyes, the warmth of the sunlight is just right. Ah, Ashis-sama. I'm floating. I'm doing my job properly. The last journey we went o...

Chapter 13: "The first battle"

Among the gathered woods for the bonfire, I pick a suitable branch. I swing it - yeah, it's just the right length of a short sword, and it seems sturdy enough to not break easily. Let's give it a try with this, at least for now. I don't intend to engage in a deadly fight. The main issue is the level of the opponent. I assume it'll be an easy win. After all, I'm currently an adventurer of the world's strongest class. Remaining as such, I can move and act as the original "Kuu." However, in case the opponent turns out to be stronger, what will I do? Well, I can't do much about it. At that time, I might just cry out loudly to Ashis-sama for help. Maybe he'll come to my rescue. "Everyone, can you come over here for a moment?" I call everyone over to the back of the open space. "What's up? Are you going to do something again?" Everyone gathers around. The ongoing banquet quiets down again, creating a slightly tense atmosphere....
