Just another Isekai Lover~
Chapter 36: Haruka and Akiho
Tsubaki, come over here for a minute!"
I found a small cave behind the waterfall and called out to Tsubaki in a loud voice, but ......, the sound of the falling waterfall was too loud for her to hear. I called out several times after that, but Tsubaki remained oblivious, her gaze still downcast in the spring.
I gave up and turned my feet toward Tsubaki to join her for the time being.
Just then--
“There's a human being!, there's a human! Oh, boo hoo!"
I heard a loud cry, that the sound of the waterfall had nothing to do with it. I heard some kind of strange voice at the end, but ...... it was definitely a woman's Japanese.
I sneak a peek into the hole, and my eyes meet those of a woman dripping nosebleed. The strange voice I heard earlier sounded like she had hit her face on the boundary, and her nose was dripping blood as she laughed and cried. And even now, there was a rather immoral scene there, staring at me at close range .......
The girl, who looked about the same age as Touya and the others, was treating a woman with a bloody nose while sobbing herself.
Ad
The girl held her hand to the woman's nose and covered it with a faint light.
The girl was crying, and the woman herself was also crying.
"It's--m-ma-us."
She seemed to be saying something, but the sound of the waterfall was too noisy and her voice was too quiet to be heard at all. In the meantime, Tsubaki noticed us and came over, so I shifted to the side to show the two of them.
"Eh... there are people in a place like this?"
Tsubaki froze as she said that, too. The woman, still crying and laughing, looked at me and Tsubaki alternately, then shouted.
“Please! Please let us into your village! We will do anything!”
(Hey, anything?!)
No, no, no, how many times have you done that? (How many times have you said that?!)
"It's okay. I won't do anything bad, so please calm down and talk."
“Yay!”
Ad
“Yay!"
The two hugged each other and were happy.
After waiting for them to calm down for a while, I explained the conditions and rules for entering the village. The sound of the waterfall was still too loud for them to hear, but they didn't seem particularly suspicious and accepted it easily. They then requested to become villagers immediately, so i gave them permission to reside.
Without being repelled by the barrier, I decided to take the two villagers and leave the waterfall for the time being.
“It's quiet once you get here, and we should be able to have a normal conversation. As I explained earlier, it is safe inside this barrier, so let's talk calmly.”
After washing their faces in the river and taking a breather, the two looked good in complexion and flesh, although their clothes were in tatters. It must have been quite a while since they were transferred,......, but I wonder how they survived.
“I'm Keisuke, 40 years old. The woman here is called Tsubaki. She is the first Japanese I encountered after I came to this world.”
“Tsubaki. I am 24 this year. In my village, I am mainly in charge of agriculture.”
We introduced ourselves, and they greeted us in return.
“I am Haruka, 33 years old, single, and I can use the "Appraisal" skill!”
Ad
(Oh! I finally found it!)
The appraisal skill is a standard skill in other worlds. I was trying hard to hold back my excitement when I came across a person who possessed the skill that could truly be called "royal road".
“I am Akiho, 16 years old. My ability is 'healing magic' and I can heal wounds.”
She seems to have always had a quiet voice. The "healing magic" is a must for a village with no hospitals or medicines.
“Thank you both. By the way, did you get an idea of my abilities from Haruka's 'appraisal'?”
“I saw Keisuke-san in the cave just now! That’s amazing! It’s a unique skill, isn’t it!”
When we first met in the cave, I hadn't given her any information yet, but she suddenly said, 'Let me into the village.’ I guess she checked our status at that time with an appraisal.
“Keisuke-san, please check our status with 『Ability Imitation』! I will make up for the shortfall!
Haruka, had been appraising me since a while ago: ....... I'm sure there's a sense of freedom from the solitary environment, but if anything,......, it's mostly due to her original personality.
‘I'm not sure how much I'm going to be able to do. I'll give it a try then."

Haruka Lv14
Villager: Loyalty 90
Occupation: Appraiser
Skill: Appraise Lv4
Ad
Can appraise living creatures and objects
* Appraisal conditions: Visual inspection of the target
Can prevent self-appraisal
＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝
First of all, it is noticeable that her level is as high as 14. She must have defeated a considerable number of monsters until today.
And then there is this loyalty. Like Sakura, her level was over 90 from the beginning. From what he has said so far, there is no doubt that she is strong in fantasy. She must know a lot about the safety of the village.
As for the appraisal, well, I can see where she's coming from. Of course she is competent. According to Haruka, in the beginning, she couldn't appraise without touching directly. I, by the way, could not appraise without touching any part of the body.
“Would you try to inhibit my appraisal for a moment?"
I asked her, and he said, "Yes, go ahead," and put her palm out in front of me. I touched her hand and tried to appraise it, but unlike before, nothing came to mind. I didn't feel any skills being played, and I honestly didn't feel anything.
“It’s just a confirmation, but can you see the loyalty properly?”
“Yes, I can see Tsubaki-san and Aki-chan’s.
"Is that so? It's truly an all-purpose skill."
"It's the royal road of fantasy!"
(I wonder what it is, this person has outstanding adaptability... That's probably why she was able to survive in this harsh situation--)
"Yeah, well, let me take a look at Akiho-san's too."
＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝
Akiho Akiho Lv9
Villager: Loyalty 80
Occupation: Healer
Skill: Healing Magic Lv3
Heals wounds, abnormalities, and illnesses by consuming MP upon contact with the target
＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝
Akiho is also at a high level, though not as high as Haruka. It is clear that the two of them have been struggling to survive together.
She also has 80 loyalty and is quite trustworthy. This is probably due to the fact that they have a safe place to stay and a sense of security in having met a fellow countryman. She is a girl of few words, but she may have some otherworldly knowledge.
She is a healer by profession. Like Sakura and Roa, I get the feeling that anything that consumes MP is lumped under the category of magic. And the most important thing about healing magic is that at first it only healed wounds, but as the skill level increased, the speed and effectiveness of healing increased.
“Can you tell me how many injuries you have been able to heal so far?”
“Lacerations and broken bones. The worst was healing an arm that was gouged out by a goblin bite.”
“That time... ....... I went crazy from the pain--it was really close! I was in so much pain I almost went insane!”
"You've been through quite a rough patch,....... I have high hopes for you as an asset to our team.”
“Keisuke-san, I'll do anything!”

“I can do it too. Please don't hesitate to use me.”
“Thank you very much. I look forward to working with you.”
The two, who not only have excellent skills, but also have perfect survival skills, became members of the village.
◇ ◇◇◇
After introducing ourselves and confirming our status, we decided to talk about various things while going back to the village.
"We are very thankful for the help, even though we could manage to make a living, mentally we were in a very bad state. ......”
“I would never have been able to survive for almost two months with just the two of us. I honestly respect the two of you.”
“If it weren't for Aki-chan's healing magic, I would have died right away from my injuries.”
“It seems that Akiho-san also hunts monsters quite a bit, and I can count on you to do the same.”
“Please call me Akiho.”
“Call me Haruka too!”
"I see... Then Akiho, how much knowledge do you have about different worlds?"
“I read novels and watched anime. I like the slow life ones.”
Her voice is still small, but she speaks clearly. Her face seemed brighter than before
“What about Haruka? You seem to have a lot of knowledge.”
Ad
"It's a hobby. Not limited to otherworldly things, I watch and read whatever I can find. Also... I was addicted to survival games! Do you understand?"
“The kind where you control your own character and hunt and build?”
“Yes! I was playing a certain dinosaur survival game!”
"Oh, really? I used to play that too! It's the best, isn't it? I know what you mean.”
It turned out that we were both addicted to the same game. The conversation got even more exciting.
“We might have played on the same server!”
“Wow, that's so frustrating, I wish we had known each other in Japan first.”
"Well, if it turns out like this... I have no choice but to experience it with my own body."
"You're really going to die here..."
“Hmm, we get along well. We have the same hobbies, and it seems like we’re the closest in age, right?”
I don't feel bad when a woman says that, but I don't... I casually looked at Tsubaki and felt a bit of a sour air about her.
......Yeah, I'm relieved that she seems to trust me quite a bit.
“I see--I see that's how you feel. No problem!”
I was so happy to be covered in hobbies that I just let my bare emotions come out, but the clouds were getting thicker, so I cut this subject short. I was not talking about the weather.
After that, we took a short break and went home, talking about each other's lives and the history of the village.
