Rain is always annoying as fuck for a first few seconds when you still dry. But after being completely drenched I got used to it.

What’s more, right after that my clothes started to vibrate in some strange way. After that it became completely clean with me also. I even felt myself like after taking a good shower.

But I didn’t take a shower.

And I’m in the rain.

Sob.

And asking my already favorite question again – how does it work?

If it’s magic then it shouldn’t affect me.

It’s unlikely a physical phenomenon because no matter how much you look it’s just a simple cloth with no strange devices attached.

So what is left is…divine power?

So this «Sleepy Alcoholic Girl» set is a set of divine artifacts?

Remi, my friend, you really have a bad taste when it comes to divine clothes.

But well. I finally came to light (that covered in dark clouds though), and it would be nice to go somewhere.

All I see before me is forest, something that looks like a village remains and some old road.

I thought about searching for something in the village, but it looks so ancient that even if there was something useful, somebody already should take it a long time ago.

For how many years there were no reincarnators? Goddess said it’s 300 years or something.

So if I guess that there was a starting village for that lot, so it’s sure gonna be abandoned after a hundred years or something when there is no one to come here. If there ever was someone coming here with that dungeon traps.

Let’s just hope that if I go straight by the road I will meet some town where I can understand how things are going here.

But still, this rain is sure have some shitty timing. I haven’t breathed for almost 3 hours and I’m finally in some fresh air and I can't smoke! Savage!

Even if my current body doesn’t ask me for some tobacco, my mind asks! I’m not going to quit smoking when I have such a beautiful artifact with unlimited cigarettes!

*sigh*

And here I sigh again.

But nothing I can do!

So with these thoughts, I calmly went on the road.

I think that actually I could run and do it pretty fast with my current body, but why should I?

I’m not rushing anywhere, I still have some rations if I got hungry and walking is pretty pleasant anyway. Even under the rain because, as I said, I got used to it rather fast.

Hope I won’t catch any random cold.

Well, this rain is warm. I think it is summer or something right now. Are normal seasons exists in this world anyway? And I heard goddess saying about years so some kind of calendar should be here. But well, reincarnators lot may just brought our Earth calendar here without much care.

By the way, reincarnators. Goddess said that they brought all the culture here. So if I think about it, this world sure may have a lot of Japanese stuff. Will it look like some medieval Japan or something? Or these guys just made their dream MMO in this world while staying on a typical European setting with some Japanese coloring? If I guess from weapons in the dungeon, there was some katanas but also typical double-edged swords and a lot of not so Japanese stuff. So I guess it’s the second option.

 “Its sure pleasant here.”

Yeah, walking in the rain is surprisingly nice. Dirt won't land on my legs because geta are pretty high, air is fresh and rain is warm. If wasn’t for my desire to have a smoke I would walk like that for a long time. Besides, clothes will keep me clean.

This rain is taking me into its claws more and more.

Rain is dangerous.

But where are my events?

Some bandits on a road?

A caravan that is heading to town?

Some wolves attacking or, I dunno, monsters?

Or bandits on a road attacking some caravan that was heading to town while running from wolves that were running from monsters?

Oooh.

That would be fun. But instead, all I see is some town walls somewhere far away.

It sure looks like a typical European town from middle ages. Not a really big one but sure not a village. If I think about not meeting any danger while walking here – it should be quite peaceful.

As I approached I suddenly realized that I’m still wearing this damn nighty. How will it look? Will someone assume me being an exhibitionist? It is pretty transparent now so my boobs are happily saying hello to the world. Not the biggest hello you could imagine but still.

I look incredibly silly!

But nothing I can do!

Again!

Ok, I should keep calm. Make a serious face, try to think that it's common while they are strange ones.

While finishing my thought a finally approached town gates. They were rather empty with only one guard staying under the gate wall.

Will he ignore me? Well, I don’t have any money for him to ignore me.

Let’s try «I’m not a suspicious person» tactic.

If I walk near him, then I wanna show myself wearing a wet transparent nighty! Suspicious! Curse you nighty! But you’re cursed already. Damn!

If I go too far from him then I want to avoid contact with him! Suspicious!

That’s why I’m going right into the center of gates. Look forward, think nothing.

 “Halt! What business you have here, animal?”

Of course, it didn’t work!

And who is an animal here? If he knew that it is a bad idea to make me angry. Some people are losing their faces after that. But I’m not gonna make problems for myself while killing gate guards. For now.

But at least there is no rain under the gates!

Vivat, gates!

I lit up a cigarette while stood cross-handed to somehow cover my chest, and then walked to the guard.

“Problems?”

Yes, just like that. Make yourself confident and look right into opponents eyes! Nobody was able to talk with me calmly after that!

Oh, looks like I scared him a little.

 “W-well…we do not favor beastmen here in Braensburg. S-so I w-would like to know what is your purpose h-here.”

Just half a minute ago I was an animal, but now you’re surprisingly polite.

And why Braensburg? Like in some novels I was reading. Do Japanese dudes have some mania for town names that seems somehow Deutsch?

Uaa, looks like this guard's eyes are running somewhere under his helm while trying to look somewhere not into my eyes.

But well, I’m taking my answer rather long while just looking at him.

 “Fuee~~”

And still, these cigarettes have some high-quality tobacco.

Well, answer answer.

What is my purpose in town? I DON’T KNOW! And I don’t have money to get some information.

What do normal reincarnators do in this situation? Yes, guild? Goddess said that there were adventurers in this world.

 “I need a…guild. Yeah, guild. I came from fara way and wanted to become an adventurer so guild. Yeah, guild.”

 “A-adventurer? Well, there are no problems but it would be great if I can see you finding your destination. It is at another end of the town. I would like to escort you but…”

Oh, of course, you don't want. Look at this rain and look at your plate mail. It’s sure ultra uncomfortable to even wear. Plus all streets look pretty empty so I’m sure people here don’t really like rains.

 “Nota problem! I can walk by myself plus dis rain s rather pleasant for me.”

Huh?

His face sure paled white under his helm.

They SO MUCH don’t favor rains or what?

 “So, how do I get dere?”

 “Aa…ah. Hai! Just go straight before the main square, then cross it and go straight again until a guilds signboard is in sight. You won’t miss it.”

Well, I thought you’re a douchebag at first but I forgive you, thanx.

With a slight bow, I again started walking. I think I heard some *thud* sound behind me after that, but I guess it’s just rain.
