Just another Isekai Lover~
01-08-Are you caving in on the right side?
The proprietress introduced us to the Skillbook Shop, which stood alone diagonally across from the inn.
But from the outside, it doesn’t even look like a store, let alone a skill book store. In Eschmerde, it looked just like the …… brick houses of the common people. The only difference was that the entrance was a glass door with an illustration of a book above the door. How could I know this?
When I opened the door, the pleasant sound of clanking struck my ears like a coffee shop. I tried to look around the dimly lit store.
“Good evening ♪”
A sweet anime voice … Rather, a cute (manipulative) voice that you wouldn’t hear today welcomed us.
“Welcome Nyase ♪ Nyan Nyan ♪”
“Wow …”
When I saw the girl posing beckoning to me, the first word that came to my mind was “thorough.”
The staff at maid cafes pretend to be maids.
However, young girls still act shy, and the maids who act as maids are sometimes quite old.
The young and talented maids are looked up to, but during their breaks, they sometimes smoke on the back stairs.
…… and well, from my point of view, an impersonator is just that, an act, a fake. Of course, not a real maid.
However.
This girl is the real deal.
This thoroughness was definitely professional.
“What? What’s wrong?”
Red hair. Cat ears. Paw pads.
Cat eyes. 6 thin whiskers. “Ω” ← a mouth like this.
If she was made hairy, she would be a complete beast.
“Oh no, that”
I was overwhelmed by her thoroughness. No, I need to be prepared for that, too.
“What are you doing, Anchan? …… Yo, Cocona. How are you doing?”
When the landlady’s voice came from behind me, the cat-costumed girl called Cocona’s eyes lit up.
“Mama —!”
She then dove for the landlady, ignoring the two guests.
“Landlady, you have a child. ……”
“Yeah, my daughter Cocona. My mother is a Cait-sìth. I’m half, she’s is a quarter, but I don’t know if it’s atavistic. My daughter looks more like a cat.”
If you look closely, you can see that the landlady also has cat ears. I thought she was still in her twenties. She doesn’t look like a woman who’s had a baby. I mean, Cocona is probably the same age as us or a little younger. So, how old is the proprietress?
“Wow, can I touch your ears …!”
“Sure… nyahhhh, that tickles nya…”
I tapped Ashima’s shoulder, who was mellowed out by Cocona, and returned to my original purpose.
“Skill book? Please wait a moment.”
As Cocona ran quickly to the back of the store.
“How is it? Isn’t she the cutest in the world?”
The landlady turns up the corner of her mouth at me.
What to do. How do you answer, me?
“She’s cute, isn’t it?”
“Aaanh? Just because she’s cute doesn’t mean you should touch my daughter!”
“You’re so unreasonable?”
I thought I chose the safest answer, but …….
“The best in the world! She’s so cute!” There was no way I could have said that, “She’s not cute,” and if I had said that, I would have woken up two hours later in the inn diagonally across the street.
“Yes, both of you touch this monolith.”
Cocona brought two stone slab monoliths in front of us, dripping with cold sweat.
I picked up the board, which was about the size of an A4 notebook, and touched it as I was told. A vertical window appeared on the tablet. When I played it with my finger, I could slide it up and down.

“It’s a list of skills and prices that Oni-chan can learn from the skill books in this store.”
“Wow, ……It is handy. How about Ashigara-yama?”
“Can I see Fujima-kun’s skill?”
It seems that if you touch the surface, it switches to the skill window of the person who touched it, so we exchange monoliths with each other, holding them carefully.

“So this is your real name. ……”
“Please don’t bring it up!”
The surname Ashigara Yama can’t be helped, but Shimiko ……. I wonder how the parents felt when they named her.
“It’s okay, isn’t it? I think it’s much better than glittery names or DQN names.”
“……Huh? what? …eh?”
Ashima blinks her big, clear, double-lidded eyes and opens her mouth as if she can’t believe what I’m saying.
“Well, that’s all well and good, but for now, Ashigara Yama’s [Compounding LV1]….”
I took out three large copper coins from my coin bag and handed them to Cocona.
“Pleasure doing business nyan ♪”
Cocona snapped her fingers, and a book swooped down from the bookshelf in the back and landed on Ashima’s chest.
“Eh? Eh, eh? … Why?”
“A book that flies when you snap your fingers: …… Is this magic too?”
“That’s right ♪ Onee-chan, take the book and think about” using it “.”
But Ashima didn’t seem to understand a lot of things, and with the book clutched to her chest, her gaze wandered in a fumbling manner.
…… When you look at it this way, she doesn’t look like a literary girl.
“No, I’m not questioning why the book flew.”
I was kind of a step behind in my story.
“Wait a minute. Let me get this straight”.
“Where do I need to clarify …”
Ashima hugged the book and pondered. Then she mumbled in a whisper.
“…… preferable to glittery or DQN names? The name Shimiko? Do you really mean that……”
“It wasn’t one step, it was two steps off. This is already a time difference.”
“Why would Fujima kun, who has 53 coppers in his pocket, spend 30 coppers on me? Maybe …… no, that’s couldn’t be true for me ……. But …… also …….”
“No, we’rehere to buy a skill book to increase your success rate in blending. …… Hello?”
She seemed to have entered her own world somehow, and my voice didn’t reach Ashima.
Three seconds. Five seconds. Ten seconds.
Just when I thought it was time to punch her, Ashima’s eyes opened.
“Fujima-kun, I can’t take such an expensive item.”
“I’ve already paid for it, don’t mess with me.”
The reason why the skill [Patience LV1] was on my list of skills that I could learn was definitely because of this girl.
“I’m sure you’re going to make a mess of me, Fujima kun! You’ll say “Didn’t I just buy you a blending skill book, ……?” you’re going to make it impossible for me to say no!.”
“How cheap can you be if you can’t say no to me for 30 coppers? I’d refuse you even if you paid me!”
“Oh, my gosh! You said it! Did you really say that? You’ve been staring at my right nipple for a while now!.”
“I did not! It’s all in your imagination! How am i supposed to look at just the right nipple? I don’t know what you’re talking about, but you’ve been pushing the right nipple for a while now! Is the right one caved in?”
“Oh, I knew you’d seen it! Fu…..fu… fu……!”
“Oh, my God! You’re serious! And only on the right? Seriously?”
Me screaming. Ashima crying out.
Cocona’s cheeks turned red.
“What the hell are you talking about in front of my daughter, you assholes?”
The landlady flew in and we passed out.…is this my fault?
