02-04-Is there such a thing as oden in another world?
At the Jade Pavilion in Tomariki, two pieces of rags are hanging out to dry in the window of room 201.
We decided to forget.
Forget that Ashima held my homomo grass firmly, and why my homomo grass was firm in the first place.
「……」
But every once in a while, Ashima would look at my lower abdomen and she would immediately look away. You slut.
“Sixty-six coppers left. What should I do?”
“We’re not quite ready for five silver yet. Let’s work hard.”
I promised myself that I would save up 5 silver by tomorrow night to purchase the Kobold’s Will from Lydia. So I need to save up 4 more Silvers 34 Coppers.

“Ashima, is there anything left that needs to be blended, processed or anything?”
“Yes, I finished everything yesterday. The remaining materials are two epee grasses, nine Orpheus bottles, and, well, …… you know, two homomo grasses…….”
No, I told you to forget, but stop blushing about the homomo grass.
“Then we’ll both get it. Let’s go.”
“Yes! … Huh? Fujima-kun, why are you leaving only 6 coppers? It’s better to leave them all …”
‘I’m buying you a skills book. And stop acting cute.”
“Ehhh, you’re going to spend all that money? Are you sure you can afford to spend it when we need 5 silvers?”
“Even if you are one step away from the target, it is better if you run faster.”
Ashima is convinced, “If Fujima-kun says so, then ……”. My plea “Stop acting cute,” was completely ignored.

If she ignores me, there’s nothing more I can say to her. I touched the stone slab, pushing down the urge to punch it.

This time, I grew [Combat LV1] and [Preparedness LV1]. In all likelihood, it was thanks to that exchange with the Kobolds.
“Wow …”
“What’s wrong?”
“Oh, no, nothing at all.”
Ashima tried her best to hide her skill monolith from my gaze, but I was already staring at it. Knowing this, Ashima breathed a sigh of resignation and held out her tablet to me.

“Oh, you’ve got a lot of production skills!”
“Um, ……, Fujima-kun, you don’t have to buy me skills, okay?”
Ah, so that’s why Ashima was hiding the skill monolith. She wanted to make sure I wouldn’t prioritize her, just because she needed more skills to create potions.
“By the way, Cocona, what is that?”
I pointed to a large, rugged stone doll that didn’t look out of place next to her cat-ears.
“Unya? This is the Stone Golem” Golem Rius “♪”
“What’s with the name ……?”
It was probably about two meters tall.
Gray appearance, like a combination of square stones. On the face, there are two deep holes in the position of the eyes, and sometimes the back of the “two eyes” shine.
Goregrius bowed …… to us with a sluggish movement. What’s with this guy? His name sounds super strong, but he’s kind of cute.
“Coco Nyan will go hunting with mom later. Goreguris is a professional storekeeper ♪”
“Eh……?”
In all likelihood, Goregrius would be stronger in a fight than cocona-san would be in a battle. Maybe cocona-san is also a magician like Lydia.
“If you have Goregrius, don’t worry. The thief will be eaten by Goregrius.”
What the heck is that!? I wonder if this is what the thief who was eaten by Goregrius would think.
“I’m inside the stone!” He’ll say …….
In the end, Ashima and I bought the [Escape LV1] skill book for both of us, and we passed through the south gate of the commercial city of Eschmerde.
It is now 9:00 a.m.
Lydia is scheduled to visit the inn at twelve o’clock today. I’d like to collect and mix the ingredients before then. If possible, I’d like to mix and sell some medicinal baths as well.
“Ashima get the epee grass. I’ll collect the life herb there.”
“Yes, sir!”
Well … shall we get to it?

“Yes, ……! Hah……Hah……!”
After the ninth time, I finally got a “C,” a grade that came easily with Orpheus Sand and consistently with Epee Grass, but was so difficult with Life herb.
“The pattern is complicated …”
While collecting, I thought the glowing floor was random, but there was a certain flow or pattern to it. If it glowed diagonally three times in a row, the next time it would always be 50cm to the left, or if it glowed diagonally twice, the next time it would always be diagonal.
Each item has its own pattern, and Orpheus Sand has a simple pattern that is easy to remember, and the white glowing area on the ground is wide enough to be easily touched. However, in the case of the life herb, you have to be very diligent or you’ll lose sight of the white light immediately.
“Ashima, get some rest.”
“Oh, when this is over … Hah, hah …”
We’ve only been here for about fifteen minutes and we’re both already sweating. It’s hotter because the common shirt is more tightly clad than the rags.
“Hi”
In the midst of this, a refreshing voice appropriate for this meadow called out to me.
Ad
Yuuma Kedoin. He is the best looking guy in the class.
In the background are Reina Akari and Asami Takagi: …… bitch.
“Good morning, Fujima-kun. You too, Ashigara-san.”
“Oh, hey.”
“Oh, good morning. ……”
Why do these guys call out like this? I wanted to say that it was a hindrance to the collection, but it was a break after we both did our best. It was a little unreasonable to put it that way.
“…… That’s right. I’ll try it once too.”
Takagi crouched down beside me, somewhat happily, and put on a pair of collection gloves with surprisingly short, trimmed nails on each hand. Why do you have those on you?
“Hey, this is Life Herb. Newbies go there. Ashima’s place.”
“I’ve never done this before, but it’s like… You know, whack-a-mole right? I’m really good at whack-a-mole”
What is that? What’s the difference between that and “I’m good at whack-a-mole”? What does “good at it” mean?
I’ll show you my brilliant technique……”

“You’ve got to be kidding me! Hey, what are you laughing at?”
“No, I’m sorry……your momentum until the flag recovery was amazing.”
From the beginning, it was sixty seconds of being swayed by the white light. It’s a brilliant wwwwww tech wwwwww You say that I’m like a bug, you can’t do it yourself. {TN: Sorry, didn’t get the “wwwwww” reference either}
“I mean, why do you guys have collection gloves? You don’t need them, frankly.”
Takagi sullenly returned, and Akari answered my question.
“You’ll need experience, money, and materials to level up. In addition to the materials that monsters drop, you also need materials that you can get from collecting. ……”
What a pain in the ass. Kedoin took over Akari’s explanation.
“To go from lvl 1 to lvl 2, you’ll need 10 coppers, a kobold spear, and two epee grasses; to go from lvl 2 to lvl 3, you’ll need 20 coppers, two kobold spears, two epee grasses, and one life herb.”
“That’s crazy.”
“But a lot of smartphone games these days are like that. ……”
Certainly, as Ashima says, there are few games that automatically level up as “Terere-te-te- ♪” when experience points are accumulated these days. There are more games where you can save money and materials to train your favorite characters.
“I bought epee grass at the store when I leveled up to lvl 2, but when it came time to level up to lvl 3, I felt it was a waste. …… So I thought I’d try my hand at gathering some today.”
Akari makes a gut pose with both hands to show her motivation.
They’re in good shape after making fun of people so much.

“oh, I’m starting to see a pattern.”
“You’re amazing, Fujima.”
Kedoin, who was collecting nearby, smiled at me, sweat glistening on his face. Even his sweat seems to smell good. What is this disparity between me and him?
“Fujima, you look very serious. I think it’s cool …….”
Akari, who was also nearby, glanced at me, squirming. I don’t need that kind of thing.
“I’m really serious. I’m trying to make a living. …… Ashima, we’re done.”
I said this as if spitting it out, and called out to Ashima, who was working hard with Takagi a short distance away.
“I’m done too”
“Well, I guess we’ll go back. …… well, uh, …… I’ll be leaving first.”
I thought it would be weird if I didn’t, so I called out to the three of them.
“Are you finished, Fujima kun?”
“Oh, no, I’ll be back when I send Ashima home and drop off her stuff.”
“Ah, I see. I’ll be waiting for you, Fujima-kun!”
“You don’t have to wait …”
Seriously, what is it with these guys? Do they like me? If it’s tsundere, then tsun is too malicious.
“Jimiko, are you coming back?”
“Well, I have some mixing to do. I’ll come back when I’m done. ……”
“Okay. I’ll see you later.”
“Yes!”
I’m one step ahead, and the happy steps follow me.
“Ehehe …..Takagi-san talked to me normally……”
“It’s not normal. Is it? To be called Jimiko?”
“It’s good for me. From my point of view, Ashigara, and Jimiko are not much different.”
“You’re really negative about your name. It’s good that you have a good name.”
“It’s totally the way you look at oden!”
“Thick fried tofu and shirataki are good, right?”
“It’s nice ……. I like eggs and radishes.”
“Well, here our food is still black bread for the time being.”
After saying it myself, I remembered how hard and bitter it was, and was immediately disgusted.
“But let’s eat together sometime, Oden!”
I wonder if there really is oden in this different world. But while thinking that it is also good, we went through the south gate of Eschmelde and proceeded to the best cheap accommodation in the city.
