Isekai Sagishi No Consulting Chapter 1

Chapter 001: Here … where?

When I thought I was dead, my body was suddenly 16 years old again.

Appearance is childish, while the mind is an adult! And, dare tomorrow, there will be a movie called “Death on the Plain”! Kyaha ☆

“Kyaha ☆” oh s.h.i.+t!

The situation is really bad.

Based on the sixth sense, I went straight all day, and the scenery in front was still nothing but a vast plain.

… I am going in the wrong direction? Should be going to the opposite can see villages?

If I remember correctly, the normal speed of human walking is 6 km/h, while traveling 10 km is 4 km/h … so take the middle, is 5 km/h.

When I started going, the sun was at the zenith, and now it was diving. In early April, in Kantou, the sunset time is 18pm.

That is, because I went 6 consecutive hours at a speed of 5 km/h, so the total road that I have traveled is 30 km. Hey, is this going to be from Tokyo to Hiros.h.i.+ma?… How long is the distance without seeing the shadow of people? Not even a beast.

Which district is that …?

Do not say I’m somewhere in America?

And do not say Easter Island or Savanna …

Naturally, the spirit of the G.o.dfather was a little crazy.

Just to save me, at the same time want to kill me?

Like people are hungry but giving money, while around there are no stores.

Or like a beautiful hot chick join the team and make him crazy. After that, he found out she has a boyfriend and he fell into friendzone. (@[email protected])

Oh, man!

But … hungry stomach.

The gra.s.s here is too rough, cannot be eaten … Hm? Of course, I tried it. At least it must be processed or something … maa, generally not.

– …………..So cold…

When the sun is so warm … but when the sun just dives, then the sky immediately cold.

Hunger affects my body.

It seems that humans can live without food for 3 days … but modern people do not have that ability.

I do not think I can live without a discount supermarket nearby.

Ah … there are still a few loaves left in the hideout … so wasteful …

Even if I have a lot of money in my hands, my meal is not good either.

I’m used to eating hard.

All of this is due to the “feeling of money” of the boss and the “talent to cook vegetables” of the owner.

Ha ha … I figured out what I learned was very useful.

Aa … want to eat the fish of mistress too …

Well, the fried fish b.a.l.l.s crisp, squeeze more lemon into the end. Because the boss loves the dish too, so we fight with each other …

Uh … my stomach is getting hungrier …

– d.a.m.ned! Will I be dying here?

I put all my strength to stand up and move forward.

The direction I am going may be wrong. But if I turn my head, if I change direction … that means I run away!

From the beginning I have decided this direction, must follow to the end. The runaway never wins!

I believe in myself, will live for myself! So come on!

Believe that when it gets dark, there will be light, I walk.

With an empty stomach and fatigue covering the body.

Then…!

Thennn…..!

…… I am exhausted energy.

Believe in yourself, but the impossible is still impossible. You lose if you lose.

It’s over.

I cannot move anymore.

The heart is beating continuously because of too much force will soon stop moving.

Goodbye to the world.

And so, I closed my eyes.

…Maybe, the next time I open my eyes, I will become a 6 year old boy, may be? …

–o0o–

In short, I feel something …

Warmth covered, hard ground, frequent shocks …

– … n !?

I opened my eyes, turned up.

And see a foreigner that I do not know.

… s.h.i.+t! I’m very bad at English.

– ○ ▲ ☆ ◆ × @ &% $ # -?

The mysterious foreigner talked to me, but I did not know what he was saying.

At best, I only understand it is a question.

– Par … pardon?

– ???

Oh s.h.i.+t, even “pardon” but also does not understand!?

Just means “What did you just say? Please repeat for now!”

But … who is this guy anyway?

Because you do not understand the language, you must be calm, not panic. Calm down, I.

Anyway, the two sides also do not understand each other, so ignore the conversation and focus information already.

First, this is a foreigner.

A man. B…, big. Because he is sitting so it is not clear, but height is about 190 cm, Don’t joke, ok!. Long hair, tied into a beam behind. Musicians? But, the hair is quite dull, looks do not look very much.

And, he was wearing a suit of armor. Cosplay?

Since I do not watch anime, I do not know which character, but the armor is very elaborate. It is really very special design to take the adventure. When cosplaying, beauty is a good thing, but a light dress is better, right?

Next is the weapon. A lance.

Use long objects in cosplay? Often the event will limit the length of the object, moreover, when traveling in the electric car is not very inconvenient?

In the end is where we are.

It just fluttered and made the sound of a bush, like it was moving.

On heavy wooden flooring, the walls and ceiling are covered with fabric. … Is this fabric a canvas?

If you listen carefully, you will hear a slight clang.

Understand, this is a carriage. I’m in the luggage compartment of a carriage.

s.p.a.cious 3-tatami luggage compartment and covered with a large canvas. Because the front and back of the canvas look curled up so it is possible to look out from there.

Pile of luggage seems they are being s.h.i.+pped.

If this is a horse cart, then there is a horse-rider outside.

Inside the luggage compartment, apart from me and this cosplay man, there is no one else. Why is this atmosphere so uncomfortable?

The cosplay man was staring at me for about 20 seconds …

Although his face was smiling, I felt uncomfortable. Yes, that’s the smiling style of some guys who take advantage of others.

This guy must be a swindler.

– ○ ▲ ☆ ◆ × @ &% $ #?

The cosplay man says something.

It’s not English, but a language I’ve never heard before.

Is this part of cosplay too?

When I was watching him, my stomach suddenly rattled.

… Well, I did not eat all day.

The man smiled, gesturing as if to say “Wait a minute” and began rummaging through the luggage.

Then, he showed off a black lump.

This is …… Bread?

– ○▲☆◆×＠＆％＄＃?

This time, as he said something, he just poured yellow liquid from a jug of water. My hands are stuffed with soup and stuff something like bread.

… Give me?

When I asked with a glance, the cosplay man showed hand gestures with the word “please”.

Thank you! Itadakimasu!

Without hesitation, I eat bread and soup.

Mm !? Ah, this is …!?

* fuuuuu… *

– Can these be eaten? What is this soup!? No taste is better! And here? Rock? This is not called bread! Please apologize to Yamazaki, Daiichi, and s.h.i.+kis.h.i.+ma!

*Note: These three names are the names of three j.a.panese bread companies.

But I still eat, still throw in the stomach something that cannot be called that food.

What I can do is swear. If I did not do that I would have thrown a piece of bread like this stone on the floor.

No matter how I curse, the cosplaying man is still smiling. He did not seem to understand what I said.

Well, I had a bad premonition from the beginning.

This man’s outfit.

This carriage is running.

The taste of bread crumbs like s.h.i.+t.

And the atmosphere is here …

I began to suspect something.

I do not think it’s possible.

But, as a person who has experienced the miracles that cannot happen once, I dare not dismiss this.

– ○ ▲ ☆ ◆ × @ &% $ #

There are countless carriages on the bricked road, and in front of my eyes, a large wall. A solid wall, high about 20 … no, about 30 meters.

There is a gate about 10 meters high. The carriages in front are lined up to pa.s.s through that gate.

On both sides of the gate, there are countless men armed with garments and spears standing guard.

Across the huge wall is a tower even higher. Under the blue sky, it shows a strong presence.

Yes, it is a fantasy world as pictures.

If I did not travel to Europe in the Middle Ages, then … here, is another world.

– … Really?

When the carriage approached the big gate, I could clearly see the people gathered there.

– Oh … no way …

The soldier’s face is a lizard.

In the carriage there is someone has a figure like a cat. But not the cat. He has clothes, goes on two legs and is chatting. In addition, his talk show features a sheep face.

If my memory is correct, Europeans of the Middle Ages have no sheep face.

That means this place is definitely another world.

– ○ ▲ ☆ ◆ × @ &% $ #

Being attracted to the scene by the unbelievable, cosplaying man – oh, in this case, it’s not cosplaying anymore – slapping my back with a proud face.

– ○ ▲ ☆ ◆ × @ &% $ #

“How? A great city is not it? “, He looks like to say so.

If he understands my language, then I will say, “Is not that built by you?”

Not long after, the carriage was driving me down and stopped.

The horseman in front steps down and moves in this direction.

His face, the bird.

– This bird … is Java?

– Not Java, guest. I belong to the parrot-man race.

– Ah, sorry.

– No problem.

The parrot feeds gingerly.

Hey!

– Why language!? I cannot talk to this guy!? Why with the birds!?

– Not the bird, sir. I belong to the parrot-man race.

– Oh no, that’s what I’ve known!

– Ha ha ha! You look stunned.

Talking to the parrot, I heard another voice from behind.

When I turned around, the cos… no cosplay man smiled at me.

– Of course, this is the first time you went to All Bloom. Well, you do not look like you are on a journey. With such equipment like that, you still alive until now to say is also a miracle.

Suddenly speaking j.a.panese, the man stared at my dress and nodded.

– Why do you suddenly understand my voice?

– That’s for sure. Because you were in the sphere of influence of the church spirit.

When I turned my eyes, the parrot began to explain.

– All Bloom has undergone a splendid development under the patronage of church spirit and became the largest city. In this city, there are many races, which are multifaceted with many difficulties in communication. So, our venerable Alvi-sama has used his power to sow “translation magic” all over the city.

– “Translation magic” …?

Listening to the name is enough to understand the meaning, then …

– When in the sphere of influence of this spell, any object, any language, will be transformed into the language in which you are most familiar. Things are automatically transformed into language and writing, and if you pet.i.tion, you can also know the market price and currency value.

– Pet.i.tion? With whom?

– Of course, Alvi-sama!

The parrot bends, forming the posture implants in front of his chest.

Pet.i.tion the G.o.d of spirits …?

I also imitate the gesture of the parrot and pray in my heart.

Um … I want to know the exchange rate between j.a.panese currency and currency here. Then, suddenly appear a semi-transparent panel before me.

In the middle of the air, it looked like a miniature television screen. I try to reach my hand and touch. Touch like touch screen it. Ah, can roll up and down always this.

The principle of operation of this semi-transparent panel, I do not know, but it is present in front of me. Is this also based on the power of the G.o.d spirits – Alvi?

When I read the words on the board:

[All Bloom’s Currency is Rb (Ruben)

100 yen = 10 Rb

Bread used by ordinary people have an average price of 20Rb]

– It’s written like that.

An easy-to-understand system.

– How? Really convenient?

The man without cosplay speaks with a proud expression.

Was it not your achievement? Maa, now he understands my language so I do not dare to speak with my mouth.

– There are a lot of people here. Therefore, of course, also concentrated a lot of traders. In such a place that does not understand each other’s language, there will be a lot of trouble, right?

I understand what he meant.

If you do not understand each other’s language, you will not be able to negotiate, having to depend on an interpreter, etc. It is very inconvenient.

Possible translator misinterpretation, having the ability the partners pretend not to understand, have the ability to communicate errors or transfer the wrong address … just think it is enough trouble.

However, if all languages and scripts are automatically transformed into familiar ones, then these problems will be resolved smoothly.

But … scams will become more difficult. It is difficult to use the trick: “You don’t know this commercial law?”

– Ah, yes. I forgot to thank, yet. I’m Ooba … well, in this world, the name should be introduced, right?… I’m Yas.h.i.+ro. Thank you for saving me.

– I’m Norbert. Workman for the Wishart house – governing 30 Districts.

“The Wishart house is governing 30 District”, the name sounds good. Moreover, he looks very proud when he works for them …

– Heh, It’s that Wishart house! So, I was saved by a n.o.ble, right.”

– What! When we have an accident, we are the same!

“Gahaha,” Norbert laughed.

Well, it’s true that his face is a hypocrite.

The n.o.ble is the rich man, right … Working for them means that this guy would be treated very well … If so then … fufu.

– I want to repay … but unfortunately, I have nothing now. If I could go home, maybe I’ll repay you something …

– No, no! Do not bother! I just do what I should do!

Despite talking like that, but his nostrils bulged out.

Feeling the smell of money, his face became like a hyena.

Appearance like that, he is thinking definitely that I have money …… Why? Now I have nothing on my body, looks just a high school student only, he feels where the smell of money … ah, so.

I put my hands in my pants pocket.

This is a uniform. It acquired the trust of Norbert.

If Norbert was a trader working for a n.o.bleman, his armor would have been high quality. The costume of parrot – his a.s.sistant, is the same too.

However, in my opinion, it looks very messy. Honestly, it’s so ugly. Poor sewing techniques.

If this is the luxury goods, then the costumes of ordinary people are so bad more.

Meanwhile, my uniform is sewn very carefully, the color is bright. Dark blue jacket, dark red tie, light gray trousers, white s.h.i.+rt.

The person who wears such attire can only be a n.o.bleman.

In short, Norbert looked at my outfit and thought I was related to n.o.ble.

Suddenly concerned about me, a stranger meets with misfortune, do not hesitate to feed, also carry to the city. Norbert was thinking of a great bargain.

If a boy like me was left in the middle of a plain without any equipment, he would die from it. Rescuers also have a heart. But of course, that includes the intention to pay back the reward.

Umm umm. So that, right.

Another world is no different from the old world.

There are no good people.

Everyone loves money.

That’s it.

Interesting, that’s another world.

Maybe … I’m going to get along with this world. Of course, as a scammer.

– Norbert – sama. I go to pay Gate tax in there.

– Uh, pay taxes for him, too.

After saying so, Norbert sent me a wink, “You do not have the money right now, are you?”

I nodded for my thanks.

The parrot walked to the gate and came back with two soldiers.

It seems they want to check out the luggage compartment.

Earlier, the parrot said the tax through the gate, maybe it means paying money to bring luggage into the city.

If that is the case, gold, silver or high – value items would be taxed a lot.

– Norbert – san, can I ask something?

– What?

– This luggage, what does it contain inside?

– Fur, armor, salt, fruit, etc. In it, most worth mentioning is spice.

– Spice?

– Yes. The luxury goods of Vaocleair. Ah, you know Vaocleair?

– Yes. That’s where the spices come from.

– Well, knowing that place … so, possibly he is a n.o.ble in the South …

Norbert muttered, but I pretended not to hear.

But, if he says so happy like that, everyone will understand his heart. What a simple uncle.

After the guards finished checking my luggage and left the carriage, I talk to Norbert again.

– Spices are very expensive, right. Especially the luxury goods of Vaocleair.

– He he. Obviously.

Norbert raised his nose and chuckled. The shape is very complacent.

From inside the wooden box was hidden behind his back as important, he took out a big bag of hand.

Looks like the inside contains spice. Estimated by eye, it is about 200 grams.

– The spice of Vaocleair is always good quality and high cost, but spice this year must be said that is the best ever. Usually, with the same weight, the value of gold and it is equal …. But this year is different. With the same weight, its value over gold is at least double.

It is a high-grade product.

I try to calculate in my head.

When I remembered in j.a.pan, the market price of gold is over 5,000 yen per gram … just set 5000 yen, multiply with 200 grams will get … Yahhhh, 1,000,000 yen!? That’s more than at least double that number … just with such a small bag that earns 2,000,000 yen!?

– Say that means that bag … is worth 200,000 Rb?

– No no. More than 500,000 Rb is less.

5,000,000 ………… Craving ………………………Alright!

– Ah, sorry. Can I go to the toilet a bit?

– Toilet? There is no such thing here.

– I resolved in a recent private place is finished it.

– Oh, be careful …. Do I need to come along?

– Do not worry, I’m not a kid. Well, do you watch this for me? Because this is a very important thing, if it is dropped, I will fall in a dead faint.

In that way, I give a cheap wallet from my pocket to Norbert.

I understand Norbert’s thoughts. He was afraid of me, the man he was looking forward to the reward, will disappear. So I left something that I cut as “important” to believe. This is how he is confident that I will return.

And then, he took the wallet with a big meaning.

– Oh, I see. Maa, while on the move, that can happen. But hurry up quickly. Because paying taxes is about to end.

– Yes, I will be right back.

Answer clearly. This is the steel discipline of scammers.

I left the carriage, crossed the other carriage to approach the gate.

In my eyes reflect the back of Norbert’s parrot. It looks like it is taxing the guard.

I ran to it quickly.

– Ooa, what’s wrong?

Seeing me, the parrot turned in this direction.

I approached with a smiling face and glanced at the piece of paper the parrot was filling.

– Nothing, I just wondered how to enter immigration procedures?

I glanced at the paper carefully.

Yes, it was transformed into j.a.panese.

Taxes are written for each product and are calculated in a particular way.

– Hey, you. You are blocking work!

As felt uncomfortable with me, the soldier pushed me away with force.

Just wait that times, I fell down, then got up and scratched my neck.

– Ouu … So horrible, pus.h.i.+ng me like that …

I said that, while I deliberately dropped the 500 yen in my collar.

* Clink Clack *, metallic sound that makes people happy, resounded and 500 yen rolled on the ground.

– Oh, that’s bad!

Whereas I say like that, I pretend awkwardly, pick up 500 yen and put it in my pocket.

Seeing my chain of action, the soldier frowned.

– HEY. What is it?

– Huh? What?

– What you just hid! Let me see.

– Ah, forget it. If I do not return soon, Norbert-san will worry. Well, Bye!

Just saying like that, I ran away from it.

– Wait!

Ignoring the soldier’s call, I returned to the carriage.

When checked in the back, taking the place of me, the parrot was retained by the soldiers.

It seems that in any world, using counterfeit money is a serious crime.

I saw the money that was circulating in this city … maa, just a poor coin. It is made of pure silver, but opaque, the pattern is simple too. Production techniques are unprofessional.

Dropping another quality currency right in front of the enemy, then showing suspicious actions. If the enemy without has doubts, it is strange.

And so, the poor parrot became the arrested people. … Replace me.

When I returned to the carriage, I conveyed that the parrot was being held for Norbert.

I also add some words as “It seems suspicious that (I) use the fake money”.

Hearing that, Norbert became angry.

– Dare to doubt me, it’s disrespectful! Being impolite to me means impolite to the Wishart home! I cannot ignore this!

– Then, Norbert-san. You should go to protest now!

– Uhm! But, ignore the carriage …

– Do not worry! I will watch for you!

– Really. So, bother you. I have to go talk to the new soldiers!

Jumping off the horse carriage, Norbert ran to the gate.

Everything left in the carriage was me, luggage. And a spice bag worth 5,000,000 yen.

Ufufu. I would like to take everything and disappear. But it seems that only in this city, I can understand the language, moreover, I do not want to go back to that plain.

Slow but sure is better…

I cannot hold my smile in front of the spice bag.

5,000,000 ~ 5,000,000 ~ oh yeah  

–o0o–

A few minutes later, with a soldier, Norbert and the parrot returned to the carriage.

– Good. It’s still here. If it disappears, then it will definitely be turned into a frog!

A frog?

What is this guy saying?

Norbert seemed very excited.

But soon after, he got angry with me without hiding it.

– Explain now!?

– Explain? About what?

– Do not pretend! I heard the story, did not you cause this case?

– What causes …?

– This guy?!

Norbert grabbed my collar. A little pain. However, I smirked.

– I do not understand what you are saying.

– Are you storing fake money?! That’s why I’m suspicious!

– I do have any fake money.

– Do not lie! You will turn into a frog!

Frog again?

What’s the meaning?

Well, first of all …

– Do you have evidence?

– What?

At this point, Norbert’s strength weakened.

I corrected my collar and smiled at Norbert as provoking.

– Proof I’m storing fake money.

– Hehe. Of course.

As awaiting my words, Norbert gave a triumphant smile.

At that time, he took out the wallet, I gave him.

– This is definitely yours?

And then, he pulled out everything inside the wallet roughly.

One 1000 yen, one 10,000 yen, and a few coins … a total is 11,286 yen.

… uuh (T-T). As a person who has been working for a long time, when I see the money in a high school student’s wallet, I feel so sorry.

– How! There are so many coins that I have never seen before! I, a trader, dares to insist that this kind of money is not circulated anywhere!

– Surely always?

– Ss.h.!.+ Do not be trifled with me! I’m a trader! I know all kinds of money in the world, and also used them already!

– So, make a bet.

– Bet?

– If this money is being circulated somewhere, you have to pay taxes through the gate for me.

– What if it is not circulated?

– Turns me into a frog or something you want.

– Do not swallow it?

– Norbert-san, too.

Embrace absolute confidence, Norbert laughs.

However, winning is decided immediately.

As I did earlier, I requested and received the currency exchange rate from the spirit G.o.d Alvi.

[100 yen = 10 Rb]

On the board appeared like that.

– Impossible…

Norbert opened his mouth.

Maa, he did not know well. Because this is the money of another world.

In general, I was able to enter the city. By Norbert’s money.

Hehe, being treated is the best.

– If you do not use fake money, then why do you show suspicious behavior!?

– Suspiciously. I’m just awkward picking up the money? Because money is very important. What’s strange?

– U …

– That’s some people misunderstanding themselves. I have no faults at all. Is not that so?

– Gul ………..

In order not to hear displeased words, I decided to get away.

– Well, I’m leaving. Thank you for bringing me here. And giving me entrance fee.

While waving, I left the carriage.

Then, from behind me, an angry voice resounded.

– Wait, lad!

Running on the brick floor, Norbert rush in me.

Since he was about to grab my collar, this time, I quickly backed up and took a safe distance.

After a missed shot, Norbert gave up and shouted.

– Where’s my spice bag!?

– Spice? Well, if it was that bag, it was stolen by a bad guy.

– ……………………….Huh?

As do not understand my words, Norbert stumbled.

However, his face flushed.

– You promised to protect the spice, right!

– No, when did I promise?

– Are you lying?!?!

– I do not lie. I did not promise anything like that.

When I stated clearly, Norbert’s body started shaking.

– Do not … have … joking … you will be turned into frogs!

When screaming like that, Norbert pointed at me and shouted loudly.

– “Spiritual Judge”!

That voice echoed in the sky, and then, my body was surrounded by light.

What is this? “Spiritual Judge”?

– This guy is lying! Make it a frog!

– Wait, I do not lie to you!

– Then, please check the Conversation Record at that time!

When Norbert said that, a semi-transparent panel appeared.

[- Dare to doubt me, it’s disrespectful! Being impolite to me means impolite to the Wishart home! I cannot ignore this!

– Then, Norbert-san. You should go to protest now!

– Uhm! But, ignore the carriage …

– Do not worry! I will watch for you!

– Really. So, bother you. I have to go talk to the new soldiers!]

What is this?

Conversations were written in detail in written form.

If what is said is stored and referenced in such a simple way then it means …

Can not lie in this city?

– Ha ha ha! What! See clearly!

A triumphant gesture, Norbert pointed to the semi-transparent panel.

Right there: “I’ll watch for you!”

– You promised clearly! That you will protect the spice!

– ……..What? “Protection” spice?

Though my heart was jerking, I understood what Norbert meant.

Now it is not possible to withdraw. The only way is to rush.

Calm down that push back opponents, I’m a first-cla.s.s scammer, right.

– What’s wrong with my eyes? I do not see the word “protect” anywhere …

– What!? Are you crazy? “Watch out for luggage” means “protect your luggage from theft”!

– Well, I do not think so.

– …What?

– “Watch out” means “watch out”. It has no other meaning. … Did you deduce yourself?

– You …

Before my words, Norbert began to wobble his feet as if dizzy.

– N, what if … you … what did you do?

– As you wrote it. I have “watched”.

– N, if you were watched carefully, why was it stolen?

– I just “watch out” only.

– ……………….Huh?

– Even when the spice was stolen by the bad guy, I also “watch out” carefully.

The expression vanished from Norbert’s face.

And then, the light pouring around my body disappeared.

It seems that the ” Spiritual Judge ” has settled and the winner part belongs to me.

– So, I’m going. If there is still a complaint, ask the spirit G.o.d, who forgave me.

Raise one hand, I walk out.

Even though the heart is beating the rhythm.

What is that?!

“Spiritual Judge” is what!?

Turns into frogs? So if I lie, I will be turned into frogs?

Do not joke.

And “Conversation Record”!

Has something like that existed!? Should say it from the start, right!

It’s almost I am turning into frogs!

Scammers who lie carelessly are only third cla.s.s.

When scamming, must choose words that are not right, but not wrong.

The word “watch out” is a good example. Misunderstanding [watch = protects] is caused by the enemy itself. I have no responsibility at all.

In addition, there is one more sentence.

“It was stolen by a bad guy.”

Thieves will soon leave the scene.

Because of this, the enemy has hesitated.

I picked up the high – quality spice bag from my wallet.

It was not unexpected that the bad guys were right in front of them.

That does not count as lying.

Maa, if anyone criticizes me as a bad guy, then I will not hesitate to answer like that.

“The fool is the stupid man”.

And so, based on the power of those who do not understand why is called the spirit G.o.d, I have entered the city is cast by many troublesome magics.

Step into All Bloom, where the people of this world call “The city cannot lie.”
