Chapter 17
Good morning. Let’s go through today energetically too.
Iya—, I woke up enveloped in fluff, feels good!
“Ketorami, morning.”
He made a face like ‘If you’re awake get off’, so I got off and Ketorami went off somewhere to find breakfast.
It seems like its best for him to eat at night but he was my futon last night. Please go ahead and eat your fill.
Now then, I’ll also be making breakfast.
poor nocturnal wolf
Breakfast is rice, vegetable soup, meat and fruits!
Rice, it’s rice. Iya—, rice really is good.
And if I could ask for more, I would want miso to make miso soup, a bit of a shame.
Isn’t there soybeans lying around somewhere?
Ah, come to think of it, can I ferment them with my skill?
……come to think of it, there were grapes. Pink ones.
Can that be fermented into alcohol?
pink wine?
Anyway, let’s eat breakfast first. Breakfast breakfast.
Once everyone woke up, I whacked them with the feather duster and breakfast.
It was particularly well received by Toriumi and Kariya as expected. Rice was. It makes me happy that they are enjoying it so much.
after cooking it badly for so long
……by the way, I’ve been wondering a little. According to f.u.kuyama, there are 6 students in the English office, and according to Toriumi and Kariya, there are 17 students in the information room, but what are they, doing about, food……
They’re definitely not eating anything decent. Can they even use fire in the first place? No, they probably can’t. Toriumi and Kariya had apparently lit a fire with batteries and steel wool, then did their best to keep the fire going.
……mhm, but I don’t really feel like helping f.u.kuyama-kun or those people in the information room that left Toriumi and Kariya to die with food, so it’s fine. I’ll think about it again in a week.
self first
“Hm? Not going out today?”
“We just came back from a long expedition, today is a rest day.”
Oh my. No wonder some of them went back to their futons. Indulging in indolence.
There was no request for bentos today either.
I see I see, a rest day…
Looking around, those that did not go to indulge in indolence are doing their own things in the lab.
Hariu is making some strange thing from wood and Katori is making some strange thing. Is it that? A crossbow?
President is pouring something……pouring a lot of things into flasks and making poisonous black-violet liquids…..is it that? Is that, poison? It’s probably poison.
And Kariya and Toriumi are making a wonderful thing in the corner of the garden.
A furnace.
“What’s up with that?”
“Nn? Aah, there’s this skill I learnt, [Metalwork]. Since I need a furnace to do something with metal, I’m having him make one for me, is that okay?”
“And I am making the furnace with my [Stonework] skill! Then we are going to get Katori to make the parts.”
……hou. Metal, and stone?
“……here, I have a monster’s fang. It’s metallic for some reason.”
The fang is a blade of that mystery boar, I took out a tooth too small to be made into a knife.
There’s quite a bit of this. So I think it can be done.
“Can you, make a pot?”
Since our numbers have increased, we don’t have enough pots.
And one more thing.
“And, can you, make a mortar?”
I’m starting to want wheat flour or rice flour.
bread
And so lunch was pasta.
Fettucine with tomato sauce. Iya—, it really feels like the level of meals just went up in one shot! Every
one asked ‘what’s this, a subspecies of kishimen?’ though.
Well, it was quite well received.
If I can somehow ferment well using my skill, I would really like to challenge breadmaking.
Ah, in that case, I need to get them to make an oven for food.
can’t use furnace to bake bread
Okay, lunch is done, other than President who is still making poisons with a broad grin and Hariu, Katori and Kariya who are steadily making something, the rest of them went to take an afternoon nap.
You guys, how many hours do you intend to sleep? No, it’s fine though.
And I am trying to make fermented goods.
First, let’s go with fermenting alcohol.
I put the pink grape in a wooden bucket and crushed them……err, how should I do this.
……fo, for now, just try it. Ferment into alcohol! I tried praying that.
In that instant, the familiar mysterious glow from the activation of a skill happened……and when I peeked into the bucket, I felt like I was going to get drunk. Ueeh, this, has already become alcohol! Fast!
……err, but, this, is this really properly fermented into alcohol?
It’s not something poisonous right?
And at these times, President. I had him [Appraise] it.
“Ah, looks okay. [Wine (rose)] comes out. Does not seem to be poison.”
A—h, rose because it was made from pink grapes?
……how do I make red wine?
….no idea
After that, I succeeded in making bread by fermenting with some yeast-like things, I also succeeded in the lactic acid fermentation of radish by pickling.
Then when I looked at my dog tag, the [Ferment] skill was added on.
Ya—y. My skills increased aga—in.
non-combat though
And so today’s dinner is deer stew.
The presence of wheat flour and wine helped.
Ah, the staple is rice. We’re j.a.panese after all.
asians
The increase in variety of grains really leads to an increase in variety of meals.
Since there is more ingredient that can be used, just with simple permutations, the number of combinations increase. This really make it worth cooking.
variety is good
“Okay, it’s about time I would like to confirm our skills and such.”
Aah, mhm. I’ve also been wanting to show off my skills.
They’ve increased a lot, and best of all, there is [Watch Dog Training]. Ketorami is great.
And so we all looked at each others dog tags.
It was roughly something like this.

hy no brackets for Maito
……I stand out as usual.
And there are a few questions again.
“Eer, both Kariya and I learnt [Laser Shot]……but it’s completely different though.”
“I learnt it from [Light Magic] but……hm? Was Katori’s from [Optical Constucts]? Maybe?”
“Mhm, seems that way.”
It seems you can get the same technique from completely different skills.
Hm, the way we get skills is different, so I can understand that.
Just that their [Laser Shot] have slightly different activation and effect.
Katori’s is from a laser device he made with [Optical Constructs]……mhm, weren’t you using a bow just before? Mhm……err, that aside, his technique attacks by shooting a laser from that laser device.
But for Kariya, his technique gathers light in his hand with [Light Magic] and shoots it out in one burst.
……isn’t this, kind of strange? Isn’t it weird? It’s not weird? Well, let’s just accept it as an otherworld quality.
nothing makes sense
And this is a little important.
“Hey you guys, it might by a mistake in my memory but……did your professions, change?”
yep
Everyone’s professions, excluding me and Kadomi-kun, had changed.
“……Toriumi and Kariya.”
“Nn? Aah, mhm. We were warrior and monk originally. But at some point, we became guardian and priest.”
Aah, mhm. I see. Then for Kadomi-kun.
“Kadomi-kun’s profession didn’t really change right?”
“Ah, mhm.”
“Comrade!”
I’m not alone! There’s others whose profession didn’t change! As I was dancing with joy.
“A—h, Maito, it’s hard to say this but, I think Kadomi-kun’s profession, has probably changed once already.”
……eh?
toilet?
Tha, that’s banana! is what I thought, but there was an explanation.
(T/N: そんなバナナ！=Sonna banana! bakana—->banana)
“First, do you remember Kadomi-kun’s starting situation?”
“Toilet start all alone.”
“Toilet start all alone……”
Kadomi-kun seems discontent for some reason, but I’ll be ignoring you.
“Yes. Meaning, at that point, Kadomi-kun was greatly disadvantaged in surviving compared to us.”
Of course.
Combat strength is the square of the numbers. Basically if the difference in numbers is 1:2, the difference in combat strength would be 1:4
Kadomi-kun would not be able to do anything against the simple brutality of numbers.
And the toilet, not suited for resting inside and no resources either.
“So don’t you think it would make sense for him to be given a handicap?”
“Mhm.”
If not, then he can’t do anything.
“So Kadomi-kun was a [Knight] from the start, but I think that is probably a higher tier profession. No matter how you think about it, it’s strange to put a [Warrior] and a [Knight] together. And that fits with the information of f.u.kuyama who started in a corridor and fell in a river looking like a [Knight].”
Hm, makes sense. I see. If you start alone with harsh conditions, then you start from a higher tier profession.
Mhm. Isn’t that good that it’s balanced.
game?
Nonononononono, not good. Not good at all!
“Then, why am I still a maid?”
“……no idea……”
Maid though, can’t I change jobs to a seamstress or animal tamer?
What’s this? Am I really the only one being left out of some law of this world?
What’s this? What is, this?
unique cla.s.s
Just as I thought I got Ketorami as a watch dog so my fighting strength finally went up! This happens.
Is it that? A system where every time I catch up, they grow that much more? Is that it?
