BXBX NOVEL Chapter 338
Translator: Tseirp
We travelled by riding on the wyvern Pochi’s back .
“Look, Elize . The sunset is dazzling . ”
“That’s true, Jofre . The glow looks lonely . ”
Jofre and Elize commented as they looked in the direction of the eastern sky – – the direction we were heading toward . Those two were in high spirits when they first hopped on Pochi’s back but before we knew it, they had fallen asleep before sunset . And just moments ago – – they woke up when the sun was rising,
I should at least inform them that it was morning .
“I see, so it’s morning! No wonder it was so dazzling . ”
“That’s true . It’s a joyful glow!”
Their reactions were pretty much the same .
Suzuki smiled bitterly but it didn’t seem like he planned to join in the conversation .
Hey, don’t dump the two idiots on me .
I was sure I was making a bitter expression at that moment .
… I suddenly recalled the Wool Worms I defeated n Belasra and felt that I don’t want to try eating insects in this Otherworld . Though even in Japan Miri was the only one with an appetite for insects . (TL: In Japanese, the saying ‘Make a bitter expression’ is written as ‘Chewing on a bitter bug’)
“You three, it’s about time we take a break . Pochi looks like it wants to sleep . ”
Suzuki said and steered toward the peak of a rocky mountain about as large as Mount Takao . (TL: 599m tall)
I was using Stamina Heal during the flight to recover its stamina but I guess it could not dispel sleepiness .
After landing on top of the rocky mountain, the wyvern ensured that all of us had disembarked before it gave a big yawn and closed its eyes . Suzuki gently pat its face .
“Well then, I guess we should rest too . ”
“Yeah – – I naturally couldn’t sleep that high up . ”
That was not a place to sleep, contrary to Jofre and Elize who could do so with just a lifeline attached .
With these three people around, our items probably won’t get stolen while we sleep .
“Jofre, Elize . You guys are so energetic so could you keep watch?”
“Sure, leave it to us . ”
“Yup, leave it to us!”
““We’ll ride the mud boat!””
They said the same thing at Belasra too .
It was probably an inside joke between them but I was worried .
“ … Hn? Suzuki . I didn’t notice from the air but there seems to be a checkpoint there . What is that?”
While preparing my bed, I noticed something that looked like a checkpoint on the road located on the plains to the east .
“Ah, that is the border . The Shiraraki Kingdom domain spans until here . Beyond that will be Tsuaobal . ”
“Eh? We had not reached Tsuaobal yet? I thought you mentioned that it was directly east . ”
“That’s because we took quite a detour . It is forbidden to fly above Lake Altal and the area around Kyupilas Hill where the Great Cathedral is . ”
“I see – -“
I looked to the south but I could not see Kyupilas Hill .
“Now that you mention it, Daijiro-san commented on that too . That it was a hassle to intentionally apply stealth camouflage such that she would not be detected from the ground . ”
“She said 『Damn Pope, creating such annoying laws . Just who do you think recovered that hill from the Demon Lord? X X X X, X X X X . 』”
Elize said broadcast censor-worthy words back-to-back . She probably didn’t know what they meant .
That said, Daijiro-san was amazing . Rather than change her flight path, she flew without getting detected instead .
Somehow my image of her crumbles whenever I hear anything about her . Well, my first impression was that she was a guy so my image was very wrong from the start even before it crumbled .
“Eh? This is – -“
Suzuki found a strange stone monument .
“What’s that?”
“These are called Krokki stones and are stone monuments found throughout the world . The Adventurer Krokki left them behind to mark his steps . So this is the place called Wish Peak . ”
“Wish Peak?”
“Erm, it is said that if you do divination at the peak, it will come true . ”
“Oh, that sounds interesting . ”
Divination … huh .
The effects that appear from using the Blacksmithing Random skill is divination as well … no, I shouldn’t . After all, it was time to sleep and blacksmithing now would interfere with Pochi’s rest .
Oh, that’s right .
Don’t I have a much quicker method?
Job Seeking skill .
It will randomly display five jobs and I will be able to take on one of it as my job for 24 hours . However, my other jobs aside from the selected job would not level up .
That’s pretty much divination .
Having just one good job would definitely help when I rescue Miri .
If only bad jobs show up … I’ll think about it when the time comes .
I used the Job Seeking skill .
| · Please choose the job you wish to switch to (If none are selected, one will be automatically selected after five minutes) Alpinist: Lv1 Alchemist: Lv1 Gigolo: Lv1 Magic Investigation Lab Member: Lv1 Unemployed: Lv1 |
Wait a minute! I almost unconsciously shouted .
Were Alpinist and Alchemist chosen purely because they sound similar? And in fact, isn’t Alchemist just the English equivalent of Alchemist? (TL: The Alchemist Ichinojo has is written in Kanji, the Alchemist listed here is written in Katakana . )
And also, Gigolo – – not you again! I won’t become a gigolo .
And especially the last Unemployed, what is with that!
People searching for a job while jobless are called Unemployed but isn’t it the same as Jobless?
“Hey, Suzuki . This is a random topic but have you heard of the job called Unemployed?”
“That’s really sudden . Yeah, I have . ”
“You know about it?”
“The job system in this world is managed by the Goddess-samas but there are new jobs created and lost . So in cases where the jobs are lost due to circumstances from the Goddess-samas, the people who had that job would switch to Unemployed for – – 3 years I think, and would find it easier to change to a new job . ”
“Ah, so it is different from Jobless . ”
“Completely different . The Unemployed boast slightly higher status values compared to before they lost their jobs and jobs are unlocked according to the level of their previous job . And after changing jobs, their experience points continue from that they accumulate in their previous job . ”
I see . So when I become Unemployed from Jobless, I will unlock jobs according to my Jobless level?
It would be terrifying if I actually unlock Gigolo if I do that .
“Then what about Magic Investigation Lab Member?”
“It’s similar to the scientific investigational laboratory members in Japan . To put it simply, they identify fingerprints and DNA, find out height and weight from footprints and determine the presence of disease . They have increased Appraisal-type skills . Although they have skills that can only be used with their specialty tools, they have many other useful skills . That said, the job change examination is quite tough . I had quite a hard time . ”
“You’ve unlocked it!?”
I forgot . This guy was quite a smart one .
“Yup . Well, it has many skills required for a doctor’s medical examination . There might come one day that I can return to Japan and while I do not know if the skills here can be used in that world, I thought that I should learn them . But I didn’t level it up though . ”
Suzuki said in self-mockery .
I don’t know if he can return to Japan but don’t worry Suzuki .
The skills learned here can be used in Japan as well .
My younger sister – – Miri seemed to be able to use skills in Japan after all .
Nevertheless, I see . Appraisal-type huh?
To not miss any of Miri’s traces – – it might not be a bad idea to have the skills acquired from Magic Investigation Lab Member . Or rather, it will be good .
Once I knew that, there was no need to choose the other jobs .
【The first job has been set as Magic Investigation Lab Member】
Although, even if I selected this job, there would be no meaning if I don’t gain any experience points . I wonder if monsters will appear?
“ … Hn?”
Just as I was setting the job, I noticed the presence .
A slight moment later, Suzuki stood up and drew his sword .
“What’s wrong?”
“What’s going on?”
Jofre and Elize who were on lookout asked .
The two of them didn’t notice – – that we were gradually getting surrounded .
“Kusunoki-kun . ”
“Yeah … this seems to be their nest . ”
They had suddenly formed .
It was no wonder that Jofre and Elize didn’t realize .
The monsters that formed as if surrounding us seemed like rocks from the mountain .
It looked like this was their nest .
“Rock Golems . Kusunoki-kun, unfortunately these golems do not have the letter ‘e’ . ”
“Even if there were or weren’t any, it didn’t change that they died . ” (TL: Anyone has any idea what golem they are talking about . )
I see, Wish Peak .
It seemed that it granted both of my wishes .
