Chapter 10: Legitimate business (1)
Chapter 10: Legitimate business (1)
[The goddess who sees destiny says its pathetic.]
Kuu! Stop peaking..!!
But I cant help it. Right now Im in such a good mood that I want to celebrate.
After all..
David von Kane
Age: 20 years old.
Characteristics: game-setting ability, death regression.
Talents: none.
Points: 1,000.
He gained 1,000 points by avoiding death this time.
He supposedly only earned 500 points, but suddenly he was even given the Hidden Quest to complete.
The content of that quest was not significant. However, it said that if he avoided death at the same time as catching Birg, he would be given an additional 500 points.
This makes it sound like not only avoiding, but also giving extra points for doing a regression.
It could be a coincidence, but there doesnt seem to be any harm in referring to it.
Anyway, this is sweet.
Frankly, I felt a bit down inside, losing 500 points, which is the same as my life against a Birg, but the system understood that I felt that way and gave me an extra point for frowning.
And this is not all.
Now a quest appeared in front of me.
[Quest occurs make money!]
[Description: now you have lost all support from your family. If you stay still, you may get another death flag. Do your best to earn a steady income.]
[Time limit: 48 hours.]
[Reward: 500 points ].
How can I not like this?
Of course, if I mess up badly, I can get a death flag like yesterdays dog, but frankly, as a person who is a veteran of this game, a quest like that is a piece of cake for me.
In fact, this Quest is no different from telling me to eat 500 points for free.
So, then, I need to plan my business now. I closed my eyes and recalled everything I knew about the game.
Half an hour has passed.
Kuu!. I am pressed.
Many methods come to mind. I can recall countless ways to be bathed in money if I wanted to.
But .
They all require initial funding, crazy.
I rummaged through my pockets for a while.
The only thing in my pockets was air. There was nothing else at all.
Still, I went through every desk drawer in the room, the bed, the pillows, the other clothes, just to be sure.
But there was nothing that looked remotely usable but fountain pens, alcohol, all this sort of thing. In addition, of course, I had no money.
You crazy! Kane!!!
Normally, a ruffian like him would have plenty of money, but all he has is alcohol.
Why dont you save some money, Kane?
What shall I do?
If I stay put, the next day will clearly be a death flag, like yesterday.
I dont want to get stabbed again!
I dont know why everyone who kills me stabs me with a sword in the stomach, but I dont want to go through a third time.
If Im going to die, at least give me a painless ride.
Come to think of it, both of them who killed me. They didnt kill me with one blow as they wanted to see me suffer.
Hmm lets calm down for now.
Just because Im still excited doesnt mean I cant come up with a way to do something about it.
Phew.
Shall I sell that alcohol?
Thats one way.
No thats too risky.
Of course, selling it would give me some initial capital. But Thomas said he would cut off all support from the family. Which means no selling the familys stuff.
Its as if he said, you cant do that.
I moved my eyes resentfully to where the alcohol was being stored.
What is that, anyway?
Surely its a liquor bottle, but theres something a little sacred about it, unlike the others.
I got a bottle that looked sacred
Could this be holy water?
These things have their specialties. I could draw her attention on me unintentionally, but a question of this magnitude wouldnt be very relevant.
Hey constellation.
[The goddess who sees destiny was upset, but now pleased to be called by you for the first time!]
It seems like she was pretty heartbroken that I ignored her and sent her a message like that, just because I called her once.
Anyway, it doesnt matter.
Is this holy water by any chance?
[The goddess who sees destiny says why on earth did you put holy water in there?]
I dont know if you ask me.
Anyway, from the constellations reaction, it is clear that it is holy water in my hand.
Holy water.
Something that may sound very divine when you hear the name, but in fact it is useless.
Its only a name. Its contents are nothing more than ordinary water with a little bit of the divine in it.
And it didnt have any effect, did it?
Still, its called Holy Water, but then shouldnt it be hard to get hold of?
To that question I can say this quite confidently.
Yes~ no.
But frankly speaking, nothing is as easy as this to get. Its so easy that even if I dont have money and Im kicked out of the house, Holy Water is so easy that you can get it within ten minutes.
To give you an exact example, it is about the same as when I was on Earth, if I went to church I would get bread, gift vouchers.
In fact, thats practically what you get for free if you go and pray in the game.
There really is nothing more useless than that.
Cant it be done then?
Even if I cant sell alcohol, I can do holy water Because Thomas does so, how? because religious fanatics exits.
But Im cut off by family support. So should I earn money with points?
Thats one way. Buy and sell cash items with points. Perhaps there is nothing easier than this.
To be honest, its a waste.
Points can only be earned by completing quests. And, its crazy to sell them to try and make some initial capital out of them.
Anyway, lets check out the status window.
With the status window on, I entered the game setting capabilities without delay.
Game setting capabilities: volume adjustment, effect quality adjustment, color settings, map display, inventory, cash shop .
And as I looked at it, a thought flashed through my mind like a bolt of lightning.
I never thought Id need all this!
I want to punch myself in the back of the head for the past, which Ive been ignoring them.
Anyway. Ive solved this and.
I need to hide my true identity to do the business I just thought of.
There are many reasons for this, but the biggest reason is my image.
My face already sells too much in spiritual places. The moment I do business with this face, Ill be lucky if I dont have customers run away, let alone avoid it.
Is there anywhere I can hide my face?
As I was thinking, someone knocked on the door.
-Knock-knock!
Its Riche. Boochan. May I come in?
Yes, come in.
Riche slowly opens the door and bows her head.
I looked at her for a while and suddenly remembered the first time I possessed, what a coincidence.
Riche. Do you have anything to hide your face?
Eh? ,
My sudden question made her turn her head with a what are you talking about all of a sudden look on her face.
He Im thinking of doing business because my allowance and support has been cut off
Just as I was about to continue speaking. Riche nodded with a look of complete understanding.
Judging by her reaction, she seemed to know what I was going to say.
Umm, (pfft,) T-theres the mask I wore the other day. How about that?
Hmm not bad.
Just as I was about to say, Yeah, Ill go with that.
I dont know what on earth she imagines, but Riches smiles distorted momentarily.
You wouldnt happen to be a Yandere, would you?
Somehow I had the feeling that she was, but that must not be it.
Im not talking about a Yandere being a stone on the side of any road, but two of them nearby.
Does it make sense that a two-yandere being nearby, as soon as I reincarnated.
Right. Its not.
But theres nothing wrong with being careful. Somehow I feel that using that mask will reveal truths that I dont want to know.
Wearing masks are likely to make them sweat. Is there any other kind of mask besides that?
Oh masks Yes, there is.
Her expression of regret at my question.
Lets pretend I didnt see it. Yes.
Then lend me.
.Yes, I understand.
She listened to me and took out a pure white mask from the subspace ring.
Speaking of which.
I think I need that ring, too.
This body is not very strong. So its pretty hard to carry stuffs with me.
It would be easier if I had that one.
Sensing my gaze, Riche alternated between the subspace ring and me, and naturally hid her hand behind her back.
No, is someone going to take it from you? Why hide it?
If a stranger saw it, they would probably think Im bullying.
[The goddess of destiny asks if you are going to snatch it].
See, I knew this would happen.
Something frustrating. I just wanted it. I didnt want to rob her at all.
Anyway, since this happened, so lets borrow it, not take it forcefully.
There is a difference between strictly borrowing and taking. Sure, its similar or different from the victims point of view, but its different because I dont return it or not.
Riche.
.Yes.
Her pupils shook for a while, as if she had an ominous feeling.
May I borrow that ring, by any chance?
Yes okay. Could you wait for a while instead?
Riche accepts my question surprisingly willingly.
Why does she want me to wait, by the way?
I dont know what it is in the first place, but as a borrower, he would naturally be willing to wait.
How long do you want me to wait?
Ten minutes; ten minutes is fine.
Yes, okay.
Ill go to my room for a while.
With those last words, she left the room in a huff.
What the hell is she doing that for?
I think if I tried to find out by adjusting the volume control I would know, but I thought that might be disrespectful to Riche, so I stayed still.
Ten minutes passed. She entered the room with a blank look on her face, as if the figure she had shown me before that was not her.
She took off the ring on her own finger and handed it to me.
Here it is. Boochan.
Right. Thank you. Ill give it back to you by tomorrow.
I took the ring she gave me and put it on my index finger without hesitation.
But how do you activate this?
In the game I used it as a matter of course, pressing buttons, but when it comes to my character, I have no idea how to do it.
As I fretted over the ring thus, Riche explained at the right moment.
Boochan. You can use that item if you imagine putting things into the ring. When you want to take it out, you just have to imagine it the other way round.
I see.
Hearing this, I imagined putting the mask into the ring. Then the mask was sucked into the ring as if absorbed by a vacuum cleaner.
Ok. Thats about right.
Speaking of which, Riche, didnt you come in for something?
Ah! Yes, I was going to clean your room.
Riche says as if she had forgotten her errand but remembered.
Its fine for today. Tomorrow.
Yes I understand.
She looked a little disappointed at my words and nodded .
Then I have something to do now. Tell no one to come into my room.
Yes.
Then you can leave.
With those last words, she depressingly left the room.
[The goddess of destiny is interested in what you are up to.]
Dont be surprised when you see it.
