Chapter 64: The Chosen One
“I want to talk about the main reason I want to get along with everyone, and I want to talk about it now.”
When I said this, most of the people were just dumbfounded.
“The reason?”
Kyoko barely managed to blurt out.
“Actually, I have appraisal skills, –Yesterday, I checked everyone’s abilities just to be sure.”
“Nn, well, if you have appraisal skills in that situation, it’s natural to grasp the opponent’s ability.”
“I’m sorry I took the liberty of doing that, but it’s more than that, your profession and skills are the problem.”
“Hmmm? I understand skills, but what is …… occupation?”
Ad
“It seems that all Japanese who have migrated have come to this world with some kind of occupation and skills.”
Those who had no such knowledge, except for Kyoko, had confused expressions on their faces. What is this old man talking about all of a sudden? And they are probably thinking that, including about the appraisal.
“Is that some kind of warrior or wizard, like in the …… games?”
“I think that’s pretty much it. I don’t know all the details, but I’m sure there are many more.”
“I see. So what’s our problem?”
“Four of you have special occupations and skills. You are one of them, Kyoko-san.”
When Kyoko-san heard this, she froze for a moment in surprise, but then she seemed to realize something right away,
”My occupation and skills, could it be ‘sage’ or ‘all-attribute magic’?”
“Oh, that’s a good point. That’s what my appraisal indicated.”
“That’s how you were able to use magic so conveniently. ……”
As expected, they seem to know at least this much, and all three are surprised to hear their occupations.
Ad
“Tachibana-san, you were obsessed with swords earlier, weren’t you? Didn’t Hazuki-san heal someone’s injury or something? Yuto, did you ever think of that omnipotent feeling that you could do anything?”
“Oh, …..”
“Yes, that’s what I was feeling at the time. ……”
“I can think of a few instances where I had a strange sense of confidence that I could handle anything, even though it had happened.”
I don’t know to what extent, but it seems that all three of them had an idea of what was going on.
“The same is true for the other six. Each of you possesses a very valuable, if not unique, skill.”
Some were pleased to hear this, others were relieved, and still others were unsure, but they didn’t feel bad about the word “valuable.”
“It was such a convenient skill set that it almost seemed as if someone had orchestrated it. In a story, you guys are totally the stars of the show.”
After a short pause, Kyoko regained her composure and replied.
“But, guys, it was a sudden transition. There was neither a sign from God nor an encounter with a transcendent being. ……”
Ad
“I don’t know anything about that either. Did you just forget about it, or was there some reason why you can’t explain it? Unexpectedly, it’s possible that you gathered under Hayato-kun as a hero correction.”
“It’s called the “hero’s correction.”
In response to the word harem allusion, Hayato-kun is a little shaken, so I follow up lightly.
“Hayato-kun was your emotional support, wasn’t he? I don’t think it’s bad at all.”
“Ah, that’s right, the Demon King…… if there is a Hero, is there also a Demon King?”
“I don’t know at all. I’d like to know that too. ……”
“I know, right?”
Kyouko-san, who has started to speak a little more plainly, returns to the story.
“I said it at the beginning, but this is why I want to be friends with everyone.”
“Is it because we have great power ……?”
“Yes, to put it bluntly, we want to ingratiate ourselves. Unless, of course, you want to antagonize us?”
No, I don’t think we’re going to be hostile now. Hey, everyone?”
“I’m going to tell you the results of my appraisal in detail, if we know what we are capable of, it will make our lives easier from now on and help us build up our strength.”
They all seemed to have no objections. The women were quite enthusiastic about volunteering, probably because they wanted to help Yuto as much as they could.

The results of the four main appraisals are as shown here. The other six were also composed of a farmer, a craftsman, a fisherman, a blacksmith, and a cook, a truly versatile assortment.
As I wrote down their abilities on a piece of paper, I explained as much as I could understand about them in turn.
I didn’t know much about fishermen and cooks, so I had no choice but to ask them to verify various things. However, both of them had originally been in charge of fishing and cooking, and they were aware of some effects.
“I don’t doubt Keisuke-san, but… How should I put it, I feel a little unsatisfactory for being unique.”
“I agree with Kyoko, that’s what I thought at first too. But I think the effects and types will increase more and more with each skill level.”
“I wonder if that’s true. Well, I think Yuto’s is still great. ……”
“I didn’t even know what I was capable of until now. If each of us can master our own unique skills from now on, I think we will grow quickly.”
Just like my village skills, the girls should be able to release their abilities one after another. There was no way they would stop at this level. After that, I continued to explain, and when I was almost at the end of my explanation…,
“Ah, Keisuke-san… It’s too late now, but I’m sorry I didn’t talk about space storage.”
“No, no, that’s the correct answer. Revealing your hand unnecessarily will endanger your life. I think it’s a fair decision.”
“Keisuke-san told me a lot of things and I’m …… sorry ……”
However, this hero has a really good personality. I wonder if even this kind of guy will eventually drown in power and do whatever he pleases. Well, as long as it doesn’t affect us, you can do whatever you want, but it’s troublesome to mess with the village, so please don’t do it.
“Now that I’ve finished explaining most of the skills, I think it’s time for me to leave.”
“Oh, you’re leaving already?”
“The village is waiting for me. Besides, it would be a nuisance to stay too long, wouldn’t it?”
“No, that’s not true! I don’t think so after you’ve been so kind to me.”
“I’ll come see you again with some rice.”
At the mention of the word “rice,” the women cheered. It seems that the onigiri rice balls served at lunch had an outstanding effect. After gaining a firm grip on their stomachs, we parted ways.
“Whenever we come here, always take this route through the barrier . Any other contact with them will be considered an outside enemy, so be careful.”
We will give them a heads-up because of the possibility of interference from the city.
“I understand. I would like to consider whether or not to head for the city, so if you have any more information, I would appreciate it.”
“I’d appreciate it if you could keep me informed. If something should happen, please come north along the river. If it is something that can be handled in the village, we will take care of it.”
I was able to grasp the personalities and relationships of the heroes, as well as the conditions of the sea. While the other party felt reluctant to leave, I quickly retreated.
◇◇◇
On the way home,
“They were so glad to see you three. Thanks to all of you, we made good contact.”
“Me and Roa were just being asked questions about the beastmen.”
“But, Dad, it wasn’t unpleasant. I didn’t hear anything bad about them.”
“I was asked about my life in the village. Everyone was quite interested.”
Compared to their fortress and village, food, clothing, and shelter are all very different. And when you add to that the fact that the rice and bread they are accustomed to eating in Japan are no longer available, it is no wonder that they are so fascinated.
“The way the three of you talked, had put off thier guard.”
Ad
“I’m glad I could be of help.”
I think I did a good job with the selection this time. However, if I don’t bring everyone else with me next time, I’m afraid they’ll be dissatisfied… Especially Haruka and Natsuki…
“–Oh yeah, Rad, can you teach me how to drive the carriage tomorrow? I want to be able to handle it too.”
After successfully completing the meeting with the heroes, we slowly returned to the village.
◇◇◇◇
By the time we arrived at the village, most of the villagers had gathered in the square.
People preparing for dinner, people chatting and laughing, the usual lively scene naturally soothed my heart. I felt that this village was my home and my daily life. I was also blending in with the crowd as I processed the fresh fish that the heroes had given me.
“I finally found the boss’s room on the tenth floor!”
The dungeon group returned, led by Haruka, who seemed to be in a good mood.
“Everyone, get dressed and have dinner. Surprisingly, we have freshly caught fish today!”
“Oh, I haven’t had fish for a long time!”
“I love fish, I can’t wait to eat it.”
Sakura and Akiho clung to Natsuki’s call. Apparently, these two are very fond of fish, and as soon as they learned of its existence, they flew to change their clothes. I’m looking forward to it because I like it too.
By the way, this is a complete prejudice, but they did not say “cat people like fish,” and happily ate the potatoes in the village.
“I never thought that person was a hero. I didn’t realize it at all.”
“If you’re a hero, that harem is also acceptable. In terms of genre, is it a good hero type harem?”
“Don’t call it a genre, Natsuki.”
“Touya, you always talk about the village chief, but you’re talking about the hero, aren’t you?”
“Even Akiho …… has some common sense!
“What kind of mouth says that ……?”
The three young ones were having a good time talking about the Heroes while tucking into fresh fish for the first time since they came to this world.
“But you know what? If you knew about it as of yesterday, why didn’t you tell us right away?”
Next to me, Sakura was complaining. It’s true that it was wrong of me to keep quiet about it, but …….
“I dare say, it’s not that I don’t trust you guys. You’re risking your life in the dungeon and I just didn’t want to disrupt your concentration with unnecessary information.”
“Well, I know that, though…”
He’s sulking, but he doesn’t seem to be in disbelief.
“Well, what about me? I’m in the village all day, every day.”
“Natsuki, even if I told you about it. Do you have the confidence to not tell anyone after hearing about the hero?”
“Uh… I don’t know, isn’t it okay?”
Not quite okay at all.
“Anyway, the first contact generally went well. I’m going to go with the flow for the time being.”
“Huh? You’re not going to accept them as villagers?”
Sakura seemed to wonder why I wasn’t more open to accepting them.
“They’re not bad guys by any means, it’s just that it would be difficult for us to accept them.”
“Is that a decision based on the feud between us and the heroes?”
“I think everyone will get along. I think it will probably be okay if the heroes continue to run their harem in their village.”
“Then why is that?”
“That group has a complete community centered on the heroes. If that happens, there is bound to be friction.”
Even now, there may be some friction, but once they arrive in the village, it will visibly increase. What awaits us is either conflict or separation, and no matter how things turn out, it will not be for the better.
“The rest is up to me. It’s not so good that they will be working under my direction.”
“I’m sure there will be some people who won’t be happy with a change in leadership.”
“Yeah, it will definitely start to create factions. Yes, they will definitely start to form factions, so until that issue is resolved, it will be difficult for them to accept the new system.”
“I agree. – I see.”
“Well, let’s try to be as friendly as possible. We are not causing any problems right now, so there is absolutely no reason to be hostile.”
The thing is that I have no more resources to fight with. However, I don’t have the confidence to control that group right now. The best I can do now is to ingratiate myself with them. And I could only play the role of a reliable ally.
