Chapter 3

“What… is this?”

“What are you talking about?”

“This, this thing.”

I pointed at the translucent window, but Tabin couldn’t see it and just tilted his head in confusion.

“Can’t any of you see this?”

“I don’t know what you’re talking about. I can’t see anything…”

“Me neither.”

The other people couldn’t see the translucent window either.

I guess only I can see it.

Could this be magic that I’ve only heard about?

Rather than magic, it looks more like a system window from a game…

[Correct! I am a system here to help Eileen adapt to this other world!]

As if reading my mind, the message in the translucent window changed.

[The tutorial has just ended. As a reward, I’ll give you 3,000 points!]

“3,000 points?”

[Yes! If you collect points, you can buy whatever you want from the other world shop!]

“What’s this other world shop now?”

“Eileen, what are you muttering about while looking at something by yourself?”

Tabin asked with confusion.

The villagers were also looking at me with strange eyes.

Since the system window isn’t visible to other people, I must look strange.

“I’ll just go to the restroom for a moment.”

I hastily left the area using the restroom as an excuse.

The translucent system window continued floating in front of my eyes until I reached a secluded corner where no one was around.

“So, what is this other world shop?”

[This is it!]

Suddenly the translucent window flashed and grew as large as my torso.

“What is this?”

They called it an other world shop, but they meant something like a game shop?

But why are they selling tools like saws and hammers?

This is too…

“Actually, this is great.”

I was already extremely annoyed by how terrible the equipment here was.

If I had just had a proper saw for the triangular roof, I would have finished it in two days.

“If I buy this, can I use it here?”

[Of course. I’ll summon it for you as soon as you purchase it!]

Oh, good.

Then let me first buy the most urgent item, a saw…

“What? Why does a household saw cost 10,000 points?”

[It reflects real world prices˃ᴗ˂]

Don’t reflect that kind of thing!

The hammer and other items must also reflect real world prices, as they were all expensive.

With 3,000 points, I could buy at most some nails.

“Should I just buy this?”

The nails in this world were random in length and thickness, and were so expensive I could barely use them.

So having even these would be helpful, so I purchased the nails.

As soon as I pressed the purchase button, the points were deducted and a box containing nails dropped in front of me.

The promise to summon items immediately upon purchase wasn’t a lie.

“How can I collect more points?”

[You can do it by completing Quests.]

“Quests?”

As soon as I finished speaking, the shop closed and a Quest window opened.

[Tutorial. Gain recognition from the villagers.]

[Reward: 3,000p]

This must be the tutorial Quest that I succeeded in.

Quests were largely divided into Main Quests and Sub Quests.

Main Quests went from Chapter 1 to Chapter 10, but among them, only the 1-1 Quest was currently available to check.

[1-1. Save the villagers from the rainy season.]

[Reward: 7,000p]

[※ Please complete Sub Quests first.]

“Do Main Quests open sequentially?”

[That’s right. You understand quickly!]

“I used to be obsessed with games.”

I never knew it would be helpful like this.

I guess this is why people should learn everything.

What Sub Quests are there?

[Q. Help repair Maria’s house.]

[Reward: 700p]

[Q. Fix Hansen’s barn.]

[Reward: 500p]

The rewards are small compared to Main Quests.

Well, I guess that’s because they’re easier.

“But if I complete all the Main Quests, is there a special reward or something?”

Most games have them, so does this one too?

[Of course! You can return to your original world!]

“I don’t want to do that.”

It’s better to live comfortably here, even if it’s a bit inconvenient.

I don’t have to worry about money either.

Perhaps flustered by my words, the system window was filled with ‘…’

[…You don’t want to go back even if I make you rich?]

“Rich?”

[Yes. I’ll tell you the winning lottery numbers.]

Oh, that’s a bit tempting.

[If you become rich, you can throw your resignation letter in Manager Park’s face, whom you hate so much.]

“Deal. Absolutely deal.”

To be able to accomplish what I had longed for so long, what I desperately wanted even right before death. Just thinking about it was thrilling.

[Then please do your best to complete the Quest! (´･ᴗ･`)]

The system window left a bright smile emoticon and disappeared.

I could still see the Quest window though.

“The main Quest hasn’t opened yet, so I need to do sub-Quests and collect points.”

I need to collect lots of points so I can buy what I want from the otherworld shop.

“Alright. Let’s give it a try.”

I will definitely return to the original world and throw my resignation letter in Manager Park’s face!

I clenched my fist and strengthened my resolve.

* * *

Belheim’s weather was notoriously terrible.

In summer, it suffered from terrible rainy seasons, and in winter, from heavy snowstorms.

So Belheim’s administrators made preparations every year, but unless you were a god, it was difficult to completely prevent natural disasters.

As a result, during this time, Belheim’s lord, Callix Crowbell’s nerves became even sharper.

Since the lord was in a bad mood, the administrators working under him were having a hellish time.

They desperately hoped this summer would pass without major damage, but this year too, damage occurred without fail.

The damage was even more severe than last year, so the faces of the administrators gathered in the conference room were dark.

They kept their mouths tightly shut like mutes who had eaten honey, watching the lord who was reading the reports.

“…”

The lord’s gaze grew sharper with each page he turned. If looks could kill, he would have stabbed them dozens of times.

After checking even the map showing the flood damage situation, Callix Crowbell slammed the desk hard.

Bang-

A heavy sound as if an earthquake had occurred echoed through the conference room.

The desk made of solid oak wood couldn’t withstand his strength and cracked.

The faces of the administrators who witnessed the monstrous lord’s strength turned pale.

‘Say something.’

‘What can we say here? If you have something to say, say it yourself!’

“My, my lord…”

While everyone was conversing through glances, one brave administrator carefully spoke up.

“We also prepared diligently, but natural disasters are originally difficult to prevent…”

“I know, so shut your mouth.”

At the sharp command, the brave administrator immediately closed his mouth.

“…”

As heavy silence fell again, Callix glared at the map showing the damage situation.

The Lord’s Castle and the areas where nobles resided had almost no damage thanks to magical protection.

But the areas without magical protection suffered devastating damage.

Especially as you went toward the outer areas, the scale of damage became even greater.

“…Were we unable to prevent it this time too.”

Callix’s eyes suddenly narrowed as he muttered in a bleak voice.

Looking closely, there was one area in the outer castle that had no markings at all.

It was the small village where hunters lived together.

* * *

On the third day after the rainy season that had poured for over ten days stopped and the sky cleared up.

“Eileen. The lord is looking for you.”

Knights in armor suddenly barged in early in the morning.

Dragged here without even washing my face, I looked around in a daze.

Expensive paintings and decorations hung on the walls, and a splendid chandelier sparkled on the incredibly high ceiling.

The sofa I was sitting on was soft enough to use as a bed instead.

Moreover, a maid brought sweet tea and cake, politely asked me to wait a moment, and withdrew.

“Seeing how well they’re treating me, it doesn’t seem like I was dragged here for doing something wrong…”

Then what’s the reason?

“Ah, maybe they called me to ask about how to make triangular roofs and waterways?”

Indeed, when rumors spread that these two things prevented flood damage, requests poured in asking to build them in their villages too.

And yesterday, carpenters from the largest workshop in Belheim came to visit.

“A girl made this? I can’t believe it.”

“Right. Make one in front of us. I want to confirm if you really made it.”

Their intention to steal the technique under the pretense of verification was obvious.

Even if they politely bowed and asked, I might or might not tell them, but to come at me like that.

Naturally, I refused, and when things didn’t go their way, the carpenters retreated grumbling that I should wait and see.

Anyway, throwing tantrums when things don’t go their way is the same here and there.

I was worried about what they might do, but who would have thought the lord’s knights would come the next day.

‘Could it be that the lord was the one who sent the carpenters?’

When they failed to find out, is he calling me directly to ask?

Then what should I do?

It would be difficult to refuse the lord’s command.

Knock knock-

As my thoughts continued in an endless chain, the door opened with a light knocking sound.
