Chapter 9 What"s Life Magic? Hi, good morning, it"s n.o.bu-sada who woke up before dawn here.
I only know how to sharpen kitchen knives, but I can try at least. I gotta learn how to do it properly once I get to the city.
Swipe swipe swipe swipe
I indifferently sharpen the sword.

Umu, shine my iron sword! This iron sword starves for blood this night, kukuku. It"s early morning though!
I don"t have anything else to say.
The two sisters got down as I indifferently eat.
"....Morning."
"....It"s fine. Thanks to the potion, I can even run already."
"By the way, the next room where n.o.bu-kun was was a bit noisy yesterday, what were ya doin"?"
"Today we just hafta continue along the highway. We"re gonna camp tonight."
"Seyea, n.o.bu-kun can go last since you"re probably not used to it rite". I"m first, Mitama second, n.o.bu-kun last."
"Then please wait a bit, we"re gonna have ours real fast."
My baggage is only the rucksack and the weapon after all. Any preparation is over fast.
I should think about my plan from now on while waiting for them.
1: Secure a place to sleep once I arrive at the town.
3: From the fact that my HP and MP increase with a level up of every cla.s.s, raising the cla.s.ses looks to be a nice shortcut for getting stronger.
5: There"s also that SE☆C☆RE☆T, but this is impossible at present. I lack funds and connection. This is a future problem.
7: I also want to visit a blacksmith in order to learn how to maintain my arms. Actually, forget about maintenance, I"d like to learn how to make them myself. I want to make a katana someday. I actually have a blueprint for it in my head already, but knowing one is a different story from making one. However, this is a men"s romance. Top three weapons I want to make are j.a.panese sword, shuriken and b*am saber. Eh, the last one is strange? You lose if you mind.
"Since n.o.bu-kun is very good at housework, I think you"d be in high demand anywhere right?"
"Oh my, then we"d be in the same trade. Maybe I should take this promising young newbie before too late."
"Kufufu, you really are interestin". Now then, let"s break a leg and go."
Looking around as we walk, I see that this world hasn"t developed at all.
I"m glad I"m with these two.
Well, I don"t have many subjects to talk about though. There"s too many stuff I just can"t carelessly talk about.
We"re chatting without stopping our legs, advancing on. Still, I can"t believe I can walk this far. I"m quite sure I would"ve gotten worn-out in 10 minutes if it was the me before I came here.
The sun went right above our heads without anything special happening.
"Futsuno-san, Mitama. Should we take a break and have lunch?"
"....They"re hard but better than nothing."
"Oo, yer" serious!"
"Aye aye, yaan, looking forward to it. We usually ate flavorless stuff y"see."
I should ask the two to watch the surroundings as I prepare the food.
I was making udon dough from the flour yesterday.
I build two furnaces with the stones and set a pot and a small pot on them.
I pour the dashi into the udon and regulate the flavor with salt.
Edible wild plant tempuras, complete!
Ah, I crave soy sauce and miso. Let"s make them once I settle down. I"ll spread the home-made recipe of my grandma"s miso in this world!
"Hoi, it"s done. Although we only have forks, please enjoy them."
Of course I"m also using a fork. I wanted to eat with chopsticks but since there"s no such culture here, I gave up the idea. I"ll shave my own chopsticks once I get to the town.
"Hohou, even though I"m not sure if they"re as good as Futsuno-san"s mother"s, let"s eat before they got cold."
"....zuzuzu, omnomnom."
Mitama ate with undivided attention. Could it be, this girl has Gluttony Element!?
"Nn, good."
Mitama said that while looking at me wistfully. Her cat ears are flopped down, looks like she"s absentminded.
"Ah, I still have more. let me have the tableware. I"ll put it for you."
The lively meal continues. Futsuno-san says this while we"re eating.
"Come to think of it, n.o.bu-kun"s clothes are dirty aren"t they? Why don"t ya clean them with Clear magic?"
Nu? I don"t know that magic.
"What"s Clear magic? I never heard of it."
She looked dubious for an instant, but then she looked like she got it.
"Oh yea, you wouldn"t get the Baptism when you were 10 cause you lived in the forest."
"Seyea, it differs by countries, but at least in this country, once a child turns 10, first their Cla.s.s gets identified in the guild. Then, once they picked their Cla.s.s, they get baptized in the temple that suits their Cla.s.s; it"s common knowledge ya."
"For examples, if you"re taking Fighter cla.s.s then you get Baptism in the "G.o.d of Military and War - Aren" temple, if you"re of Merchant cla.s.s then in the "G.o.d of Wisdom and Business - Ordis" temple."
"Ueea. That G.o.ddess. Um, yea er well...."
Huh, she seems extremely hesitant?
"Huh? Is it something bad to talk about?"
"Eh!? Really."
People who want to become rear guards or merchants then "G.o.d of Wisdom and Business - Ordis."
People who engage in administration of justice and politics then "G.o.ddess of Spirit and Principle - Rutia"
Umu, the direction is clear.
Could it be that she"s set her eyes on me since she"s got nothing else to do due to the lack of believers?
"We got out of topic. Life Magic is something you get when you"re baptized you see."
Life Magic is a set of magic that"s useful in livelihood, it"s a common thing in this world.
"Seyea, you"d need to set your cla.s.s if you want to be an Adventurer anyway, doing that is a good idea. But, I think you need 200 mani for Baptism."
My G.o.d, there"s a fee!
"Un, I think I can manage that much with my saving. I"ll ask for it immediately once we get to Gramada."
How amazingly convenient.
"Thank you, Futsuno-san."
*Pull, pull*. Hm? Someone"s pulling my sleeves.
"....I"ll do it too."
Somehow my heart felt warm and fluffy, even my fatigue got washed away.
Now then, let"s go toward the target area before sunset! After tidying up, we walked again.
