I felt something heavy when I woke up. When I looked, Hariu, who seemed to have bad sleeping habits, is using my stomach as a pillow. How did that happen? I slept by the wall and Hagasaki-kun is next to me. It seems like Hariu went over Hagasaki-kun and rolled to my side. Just what kind of sleeping posture is this!
I wonder if this sleeping habit has corrections and got strengthened in this different world, which would be annoying.
However, I canât stand to wake him up after seeing him sleeping so happily.
I gently pulled out my body so that I wouldnât wake him up, and put a pillow in my place. He seemed to notice that his sleeping comfort had changed since he groaned.
But I didnât care. I left to prepare the meal.
When I checked the food stock, neither meat nor fish was reduced. Apparently, they went vegan last night.
Well, maybe they just didnât feel like having animal protein.
So when I went to prepare breakfast, the maid dolls already cooked the rice for me.
As soon as I entered the lab, everyone saluted. It seemed like these children cared for those guys. Thank you.
Also, I thought I should serve miso soup and omelet today, so I quickly finished preparing breakfast. By the time they got up, Iâd taken a closer look at yesterdayâs jewels.
Itâs one size smaller than the classroom jewel and has different shapes.
The [Yuka Hirano] I found is a plump triangle. The last two are a hexagonal prism and a circle.
It seems like the cause of death for all three was starvation. âŚmaybe they were three people like me who had no fighting power. Their friends should have gone to get food but didnât come back, so they starved to death.
Itâs also what might have happened to me. In my case, everyone has fighting power, and Iâm alive because they came back without abandoning me.
Somehow, I found them so pitiful that I decided to serve rice, miso soup, and omelet in front of the jewels. Itâs my sentiment.
Everyoneâs up, so I started serving breakfast.
The air is lighter than yesterday. Thatâs good, they canât do anything if theyâre not fine.
Today, we decided to explore this area to find other jewels that might exist.
Toriumiâs [Sense] is useful here. It seems like itâs used to search for monsters that attack, but it can also be used to search for specific things.
So today, Toriumi will use [Sense] and walk around here to search for jewels.
As for me, Iâd be surprised if Iâm useful in such cases, so Iâll just quietly make the armor.
For the time being, all fabric products that seem to have poor performance should be remade.
There are still a lot of scales, so Iâll dye it with these.
The tragedy was that all cloaks, innerwear, and other things that seem to have poor performance became either black or scarlet. Theyâd look like a suspicious group, but it canât be helped. Better than dying, better than dying.
Then, strengthen the equipment for everyone to the limit, and when the limit per cloth area is reached, use a cloth with another effectâŚas I did this, it got quite a performance. Itâs not afraid of fire, heat, or magic anymore!
And the last is me. Now that I have the black dye, I think itâs time for a new maid outfit.
Apart from the maid clothes I originally wore, I made one maid outfit, so now, Iâll make the strongest maid outfit.
I donât like red lining, but it canât be helped. Now I can even jump into the magma!
And it turned out that if I embroidered the laurel-dyed long pannier with black snake thread, it will have [Maximum MP Increase (medium)]. Combined with the [Maximum MP 1.5 Times], my MP has increased. It has increased greatly. Ufufu.
Then, change the underwear. Well, it was originally white, so I thought I might as well dye it.
However, the scales of the great black snake and the dragon scales have reached the limit of effect per cloth area with only the maid clothes, so I wondered if I should do it differently. If I get another good dye, letâs use it.
It was afternoon when they came back. They brought back four jewels whose name and cause of death are displayed in [Appraisal]. There should at least be two more, so the search is still going on.
âAll four fell to the South from here. Since the cause of death was blood loss or hemorrhagic shock, itâs reasonable to think they fought with a monster.â
For some reason, they handed it over to me, so I received them and decided to keep it with the other three. Each jewel is very beautiful which is very sad.
âIf we go South like this, there should be a multipurpose hall, so we might join the Brass Band.â
As soon as they joined, theyâd come back here with a [Transfer] and I would move too.
Lunch was a Negi toro don. They equipped the armor I remade and I made some adjustments. When thatâs over, they started searching again.
Then Iâm free again.
I also have to make clothes to fund Sagara-kun and the others. But rather than that, Iâd like to talk to [Alive Grimoire]-san for a moment, so letâs get a little work done.
I immediately head-butted the book and [Shared].
[Ohh, did you get the answer?]
AnswerâŚahh, there was also that. [A person who is familiar with the answer to the question, âwill the temple return us to the original world when we erase the cause?â]
âŚI donât know yet. Somehow, I donât know many people in this world, so hn, hnnnâŚeei, sorry but letâs put it on hold!
âI donât know that yet, but I have something to talk about.â
[Mu? I thought youâd understand right away, butâŚwhat do you want to talk about?]
âUhm, itâs like this. I found a grave marker. From us, otherworlders.â
When I recalled it, it feels unrealistic but heavy.
That feeling that I almost regretted [Appraising] it at that moment.
This world is quite convenient for us, but itâs not convenient until the very end, so it felt like being hit in the head.
[Nu? Grave marker? âŚahh, maybe it looks like a jewel?]
âEh, isnât it a grave marker?â
[What, thatâs not a grave marker. âŚdonât look so sad. âŚhmm, where should I start talking?]
âŚuhm. Let me see. Please wait a moment.
âUhm, Iâll check just in case, but that jewel doesnât mean that theyâre deadâŚright?â
[They died, thatâs for sure.]
So theyâre dead. Damn, I was too optimisticâŚ
[If you mean dying as in they ran out of life. âŚhm, so letâs start from there. First of all, is death the end for you?]
âUhmâŚmaybe it depends on the person. Some people say that itâs over when they die, some people say that even if they die, theyâre reborn in a different way, and some people say that dying is the beginning.â
Especially in Japan where the beliefs are quite messy.
[Hou? Thatâs kind of interestingâŚno, Iâm talking about this world. In this world, your death means a return to this world.]
âŚah, sorry. Now I have a picture of 100% concentrated juice in my head. Please continue.
[As I said before, you otherworlders have high magical powers which is unusual for this world, but if that otherworlder dies in this worldâŚmeaning, when they run out of life, their body becomes magical power and become part of the magical power that makes up this world.]
Somehow, it sounds bad. I definitely donât want to be part of this world.
[But you are too foreign to this world. EspeciallyâŚhow should I say itâŚhmm, yes, you should be called vessels with life in itâŚahh, itâs a conceptual thing thatâs different from the physical body. Right, that vessel alone cannot be crushed by anything in this world. The thing that remains after the body and life have been removed is what you call that âjewel-likeâ thing.]
Vessel. âŚthat one? The glass that I saw when I did a strange [Share] with Hagasaki-kun and Suzumoto-kun?
âThen, if you add life to that vessel.â
[You wonât be able to add it. How can you add life when there is no physical body? âŚwhy, do you want to revive that dead compatriot?]
âYup.â
Well, if they can come back to life, then I want to do that.
[Youâre really⌠unfortunately, I have to say that itâs impossible. First of all, it will take a huge amount of magical power to remake the body. Itâs not just a half-baked amount. Well, if itâs just here, I feel like youâll be able to do something even though you wonât understand⌠more than that, itâs death, not life, that fills the vessel of the dead. Thereâs no way to get rid of it. As long as there is some life left, death will gradually be expelled and life will fill it up again, but thereâs none at all. And finally, even if it were possible, the life that could fill the vessel of the dead is limited. The life of an otherworlder will have to satisfy the life of another otherworlder since theyâre similar in form. In the end, youâll have to kill the living to revive the dead.]
âCanât I pay in installments for that life?â
[âŚwait, what do you mean pay in installments⌠no way, youâre trying to revive the dead with your own life!? Stop it, to move the vessel that stopped working once again will never come true with such a half-hearted way of dividing life. And thereâs no guarantee that the dead can accept your life.]
I see⌠Yeah, but thereâs a way to do it.
If we gathered more magical power and those other things, and then, uhhâŚget rid of that death or somethingâŚthen if I give it my lifeâŚwill it increase? Uhm, no, if it increased.
If it increasedâŚit means that they can be revived.
âHn. Alright. Thank you. Iâll do my best.â
[Donât do your best! Give up! Iâll destroy myself! If you perish, the person I talked to-]
There, the letters stopped, and then the words [if you perish, the person I talked to-] disappeared.
[Donât do your best! Give up! Iâll destroy myself! Thou shalt know thy limits!]
And changed to that.
âŚb-but itâs useless since Iâve already seen it! Even if you changed it! When I involuntarily laughed, some characters started to flutter and the page turned over.
[I will not imitate you since itâs akin to shaving oneself.]
When I thought itâs been a while since I saw it flustered, that mysterious light emission started and I was sent back.
âŚyeah, somehowâŚI came out fine.
For the time being, even if itâs practically impossible to revive them, itâs theoretically possibleâŚthe fact that it seems to be within reach made me quite energetic.
This world is a different world.
I wonder if I can do whatever I want.
Until now, Iâve been treating Ketorami as a guard dog, Iâm able to do needlework at an incomprehensible speed, and Iâm able to [Clean] various things by completely erasing them.
Some people are more suited to those things than I am. But if I so wished, I can collect enormous magical power and other stuff, I can get rid of the death that fills the vessel and I can divide my life, so someone else should also be able to do it.
Therefore, we will try our best to live and approach that possibility as much as possible.
Donât hesitate to revive these dead people! Letâs go rationally!
If we do our best, the dead might come back to life, no, theyâll come back to life! Then I have one thing to do right now!
âŚPreparation for dinner. Yes.
Because food is great⌠Itâs not because I can only do thatâŚ
