Chapter 12: I can't read, but I buy newspapers and pretend to read them on the train. I do. Because it's cool.
/Amachi Viewpoint/
---One week before the Maria event---
To avoid Maria's depression event, I boarded a plane and headed towards the Grand Duchy of Transylvania.
I had reached the limit of my funds.
Thanks to my "forbidden spell practice investment", my bank account had gone bankrupt.
However, I defeated monsters to the point of near-death while hunting Metal Peppers.
I defeated them, I defeated them, I defeated them all.
They can call me the "King of Defeating" if they want.
That's how much I defeated them.
I collected the dropped items from the monsters I defeated and sold them to their limit, which warmed up my wallet nicely.
I could now be considered a wealthy man.
I couldn't help but mutter, "I can now make a living as an adventurer."
Farewell, life as a miserable office worker.
I can't help but grin.
This is the best feeling ever.
It's like being reborn.
I feel a refreshing sense of liberation, like a baby who just took their first bath.
As I thought about this, I pretended to read a physics book written in an incomprehensible foreign language that I couldn't read.
How does that sound?
Don't I look like a capable man?
A capable man shows off incomprehensible books to those around him.
That's a must.
I was like that in my past life too.
I saw someone programming on the train, and there were people who made PowerPoint presentations.
Inwardly, I chuckled at the thought, "Information leakage... it comes from these people, doesn't it?"
A capable man doesn't take risks.
He doesn't work on the train.
It's cool to have a paper-based English newspaper.
Anyway, I bought an English newspaper and pretended to read it while riding the crowded train.
I muttered things like "Is the default about to collapse... this is bad..." or "What!? The stock market crashed!?" and even talked to myself at the station.
Because it looks cool.
But in reality, I was just swimming around summary sites and thinking about Megashuva.
And as usual this time too, during my brief flight, I pretended to read a difficult book I couldn't understand while thinking about the Maria event.

My Improved Skills at a Higher Level.
First, I needed to reaffirm my achievements. I started by acquiring skills through fraudulent means by using my knowledge from my past life. Then, I moved on to intermediate magic, which includes the five basic elements: fire, water, wind, earth, and metal. I acquired useful derivative spells for each element, such as thunder and gravity magic.
I also have Amachi's magic memory, which contains only some useful items due to the limit of my potential. Additionally, my combat skills in weapon and physical combat techniques were honed during the six months of dungeon monster hunting.
I now possess the combination skills from my previous gaming experience, which is currently my trump card. There's also a fraudulent technique called "Extra Bullet," which was developed and named by a player from another continent. This technique enables characters with special action art, "Hidden Weapons," to shoot weapons at high speed by switching between different weapon types with proficiency. It creates a barrage of weapon throws.
This fraudulent technique is called "cheating" because it allows characters with only short-range proficiency to attack from medium to long range. Its main feature is that it guarantees a certain level of firepower, regardless of a character's level or rarity.
I also possess a genuine trump card beyond the "Extra Bullet" technique, the most deadly "Forbidden Magic." However, I would prefer to avoid using it unless it's an absolute emergency.
With my current combat abilities, I can easily defeat a floor boss of a Class 1 Intermediate Dungeon alone. Depending on the fighting style, I might even be able to handle a deeper level than the first stage of intermediate. Here's a summary of what I know about the dungeons:
Dungeons have varying levels of difficulty. Beginner dungeons range from Class 3 to Class 3 Stage 3. The easiest level starts at Class 3, and Class 3 Stage 3 is the most challenging.
Intermediate dungeons are more difficult than beginner dungeons, and advanced dungeons are more challenging than intermediate ones.
The most challenging level of dungeon is the Super Class.
Intermediate dungeons start from Class 3 Stage 1 to Stage 3, just like beginner dungeons. Likewise, advanced dungeons follow the same pattern. The Super Class dungeons range from Class 3 Stage 1 to Stage 10, and this is the only rank that goes up to Stage 10.
Lastly, there's the highest difficulty level, the Extra Stage, which is the final boss stage. It's comparable to the final stage of various routes. Although there are other special stages, it's unnecessary to consider them at this point since they're either not yet unlocked, or it's impossible to clear them.
The main thing I need to consider is one of the main heroines, the depressed heroine, who is a noble from the northern lands and comes from a family of powerful sorcerers. Her name is Maria Josephine Leonora Ghisela Aragon, but she is commonly known as Marie, and she inherited the strongest blood of the calamitous witch. This is about how to avoid her bad ending in the scenario.
Marie is a beautiful girl with semi-long blond hair and beautiful reddish-purple eyes. She has clear white skin and a perfect figure, making her one of the top three most beautiful girl characters in terms of visuals. However, she was an unfortunate character who could not win 7th place or higher in popularity character voting due to the background of her scenario. However, she was always a character in the background as one of the main characters on the product package. She continued to rank Tier 1 in the strong character ranking and was a favorite character of the game operator. Her skills, which were set to be born from her unique magic and constitution, were also endgame content. Although she was not trained in weapon art or arts, her magic, skills, and special equipment were very powerful.
She is a debuff specialist and a long-range super firepower turret/support factor. I also spent a lot of money to put Marie in my party. In this game with character game elements, I could organize characters in my party just by pulling the gacha, regardless of the scenario. My bonus disappeared, but I still managed to pull Marie. She was such an important character to me that I always kept her in my first team and spent a ton of time acquiring her special equipment with my paid power.
I am going to save her. Ha, aren't I cool? I laughed as I held a book in my hand.
