“Ahh… Sunlight feels so good.”

(Master you were in that dungeon for only 3 hours and 46 minutes.)

“You don’t know how many days it has been since I left my house.”

(Average human leaves their home every day unless they are sick. Master does not seem sick, nor does he seem to be recovering from a sickness.)

“Well humans in this world and my old world are different. But you are correct. I did leave my house. I had to pick up that booster box after all.”

(What is a ‘booster box’ Master?)

“It’s a box that contains 24 packs of Yugioh cards.”

(Information received.)

 

I looked at Uraby, who was waiting by the entrance. He does look a little worse for wear like his card. He only had one large wound on him and that was a wooden spear stuck to his left leg. As I approach him, he lowers his head for me. I give him a little pat.

 

“You did a great job. I’ll remove this spear from your leg now.”

 

Uraby looks at me with understanding and nods his head. These monsters really are super smart even if some of them can’t talk. It’s going to be a little challenging to pull a spear while holding a card in each hand but I can manage. I pull the wooden spear out of his leg and notice it has a sharp stone on its tip. I think most of the spears in the dungeon were just pointed sticks with no stone or whatever so maybe a higher class goblin or kobold used this and that is why it got stuck in his leg, unlike all the other spears. Thankfully the spear wasn’t deep so the wound isn’t bleeding much.

 

“Again, great job Uraby. You can go back now.”

 

As I say that, a card appears under Uraby and Uraby returns to it. Then his card in my hand vanishes. Are all these cards really only single use?

 

As I think that the mission screen pops up again.

 

So mission complete and good things all around. That’s nice.

 

“I guess I should open some packs then.”

(Master, I recommend securing some food while ‘Kagemusha of the Blue Flame’ is still active. Otherwise Master will have to do it alone.)

“Yeah you are right. Kage, do you have knowledge on things like edible plants and stuff.” 

“Yes Master, but it might not apply to plants in this area. Might I suggest a hunt for a beast?”

“I don’t think we should make a fire or anything, so we can’t exactly cook meat. By the way, are goblins or kobolds edible? We left hundreds of them in that dungeon.”

(Goblins are not edible, but kobolds are. I do not recommend Master eat kobolds because they taste horrible.)

“So no to already hunted meat. System, do you know how far the nearest town or city is?”

(Map information is limited to what we have seen. No location of town available.)

“Well that is a little bit of a problem. Kage, can you climb a tree and tell me what you can see?”

“Of course Master.”

 

Kagemusha makes climbing a tree look easy. I mean he did it in 3 jumps and is now at the top of the tree looking around.

 

“System support, what time is it?”

(It’s a little past noon Master.)

“And how long will Kagemusha stay summoned?”

(Two hours in total. He has been summoned for an hour and 17 minutes now.)

“So it took us little over an hour to get out of the dungeon. Good to know. Can I extend the time Kage stays summoned?”

(Technique is not currently in the database. Master might have to level up to learn it.)

“Oh yeah, I do wonder if I get any exp for things that Uraby and sparks killed. Status.”

Nice! I both leveled up and got a new skill. I think I know what it does but better to ask system anyway.

 

“System support, I got a new skill called ‘Language comprehension’. Can you tell me what it does?”

(It allows Master to understand the spoken language of all sufficiently intelligent humanoid creatures. It does not allow understanding of monster speech.)

“Does that include written stuff?”

(Since Master is able to read, Master should be able to read the language of this world. Also if Master can not, I can read for Master.)

“I love you! You are so useful.”

(Thank you Master.)

 

Systems answer was in a quieter voice than usual.  I think system would be blushing if she could. That is very cute.

 

With a thud, Kagemusha jumped down from the tree. Hopefully he spotted something so that we don’t have to start searching at random.

 

“Master, I have spotted what appears to be a road on a plain. I didn’t see any kind of settlement, but we are in a forested area, so vision is limited. I recommend heading over to the road and following it. If it’s not a road that plain will also give better vision”

“Yeah let’s do that. But first some berries. Or something else to snack on. I guess we can search for those while making our way to the road. What way is the road at?”

“That direction Master.”

 

Kagemusha points to the front left from the dungeon entrance. I guess nothing more to it than walking. Summon something you say. Yeah, not in this forest. I don’t think my panda or bird could easily make it through this forest. It’s not like super thick jungle, but there are enough trees to be a problem for a larger monster to make its way through.

 

“Kage you keep me safe, system keep your eyes (do you even have eyes) on edible fruits and berries.

“Yes Master.”

(Yes Master.)

 

And here I was wanting to open some of the new sets I unlocked. And I’m being blocked by myself and my obsession to move forward. I mean, camping with no equipment doesn’t sound too fun, now does it?
