The next day I was in front of the guild entrance waiting for the others
-"(I have the enchantment book stored in the Dimensional Backpack, I'll take a look at it when I have time)"(Takeshi)
-"yo Takeshi"
-"hello Takeshi"
-"(they arrived, I'll have to leave it for later)"(Takeshi)
-"Hi, what kind of Quest will we do today?"(Takeshi)
-"Goblins or Kobolds?"(Nakamura)
-"Goblins"(Takeshi)
Getting more corrupted stones from Goblins would be helpful, as the guild would deal with the monster, I wouldn't have to worry that much about it.
-"so this is 3 x 2 from Goblins to Kobolds"(Nakamura)
-"what the fuck" (Emi)
-"yay, thank you Takeshi"(Tsunade)
-"By the way, where is Yuriko, will she be late?"(Takeshi)
-"she's in trouble and can't come to the Quest today" (Emi)
-"then she...."(Takeshi)
-"yes, she got bad for buying drinks for everyone" (Nakamura)
--
-"you'll find a way to pay"
-"understood" (Yuriko)
--
-"yeah, I can imagine what's happening to her" (Takeshi)
-"let's see if there's any Goblin Quest"(Nakamura)
-"haaaghh, since I lost in the bet come on" (Emi)
-"Wait what?"(Takeshi)
-"Emi and I bet on what you would choose while we decided what kind of Quest we would do today" (Tsunade)
-"you..."(Takeshi)
I didn't say anything else and entered the guild with the others.
-"let's see what kind of Quest we have today"(Nakamura)
-"hope for an easier one than before"(Emi)
-"do you want to face Goblins in dungeons?" (Nakamura)
-"no"(Tsunade)
-"no"(Emi)
-"no"(Takeshi)
Shizuko just shook her head a "No"
-"okay then" (Nakamura)
A Quest at least a little quieter than the ones I've done recently would be great, bad I came into this world and nearly died twice just getting into a dungeon.
-"Nakamura, this Quest..." (Tsunade)
-"hmm... No, the reward for this one is too low" (Nakamura)
-"okay"(Tsunade)
-"(a Quest that involves killing Goblins in the open...)"(Takeshi)
I kept looking at the Quests and I was surprised by the quests that were on the board, dragons, skeletons and even bandits were possible to do in Quests...
-"Shizure..." (Takeshi)
-"Takeshi, did you find any Quests?" (Nakamura)
-"Oh not yet, it's really hard to choose a Quest" (Takeshi)
-"N-Nakamura"(Shizuko)
-"found any shizuko Quest?"(Nakamura)
-"(I know the person most suspicious about trying to kill Shizure is with the guy who might have the information about her, but, they haven't gotten any information from him yet)"(Takeshi)
-"(but not much I can do now, they are the city guards-)"(Takeshi)
-"Takeshi are you listening?" (Nakamura)
Nakamura suddenly appeared and put his hand on my shoulder
-"waah!"(Takeshi)
-"It was bad for scaring you"(Nakamura)
-"Y-No problem"(Takeshi)
-"We've already booked a Quest, let's go" (Nakamura)
-"right"(Takeshi)
We left the guild and were heading towards Quest
-"By the way, where is this Quest?"(Takeshi)
-"in a forest, it's not far from here" (Nakamura)
-"Quest said that forest had been taken by the Goblins"(Emi)
-"I understand"(Takeshi)
At least we don't need to go into a dungeon, maybe I could learn the spells from the book while we head to the Quest
-"Hey Emi, did you manage to deliver that?"(Nakamura)
-"not yet"(Emi)
I took a look around and realized that it would be very suspicious if I did this here among people
-"(better do this when we leave town)"(Takeshi)
-"but it's close, you have to give it to her soon" (Nakamura)
-"I know but..." (Emi)
-"(are they talking about Shizuko's gift?)"(Takeshi)
I could hear them talking, but I didn't know what it was, maybe it really was about Shizuko's gift
-"okay, I'll try to do it" (Emi)
Whatever they were talking about wasn't my problem, I need to learn new skills soon, leveling up takes a long time.
-"identification card please"
-"here"(Emi)
-"... Come on, next"
-"(does every city have this type of entrance, or this one is more restricted)"(Takeshi)
After leaving town we continued to walk to where the forest was full of Goblins
-"(I think I can already use my Skill)"(Takeshi)
We were at a distance where we couldn't see the city, there was no problem if I used the skill now in front of everyone if I just let them know
-"people can wait a bit"(Takeshi)
-"oh what's wrong?"(Emi)
-"I want to show you something"(Takeshi)
-"what would it be?"(Tsunade)
-"a Skill I learned and I think it will be very useful" (Takeshi)
-"okay, go ahead"(Nakamura)
-"Right. Activate Skill ≪Dimensional Backpack≫"(Takeshi)
A small shadowy hole appeared in front of me
-"what does this hole do?"(Nakamura)
-"we can store items in here, I've even stored some items here" (Takeshi)
I reached into the hole and pulled out the Spell Caster and showed everyone
-"wow" x3
Everyone was very impressed with the Skill except Shizuko, who was looking at the spell caster in my hand, I started to move the book and Shizuko was following my movements
-"(Shizuko seems to pay more attention to the book in my hand than the skill, the look of the spell caster is really weird but a portal that can be opened at any time is more interesting)"(Takeshi)
-"Takeshi, does this Skill use Mana?" (Tsunade)
-"she uses Mana but not my Mana"(Takeshi)
-"makes sense, this ability uses the environment's own Mana to store the items" (Nakamura)
-"well that's all I wanted to show, a little help to our party. Now let's continue" (Takeshi)
-"Disable Skill ≪Dimensional Backpack≫"(Takeshi)
I closed the portal and continued walking and a few seconds later the others were following me
-"(I have the book, now I can see the skills)"(Takeshi)
-"T-Takeshi"(Shizuko)
When I was opening the book, Shizuko pulled my coat sleeve
-"what was Shizuko?"(Takeshi)
It wouldn't surprise me if she said she wanted to see this book, she was already paying more attention to this than my dimensional backpack.
-"this book.... Can I see it?"(Shizuko)
Shizuko shyly says that
-"(I knew)"(Takeshi)
-"does something in this book catch your attention?"(Takeshi)
-"Y-Yes, it's his look, reminds me a little of a book I had seen before" (Shizuko)
-"(I need some distraction!)"(Takeshi)
I needed to make sure the book doesn't activate that voice that comes out of it, so I started to think and after a few seconds of thinking I came to a conclusion
-"here it is"(Takeshi)
I had no idea how to disable that voice and just handed over the spell caster giving up everything
-"(please continue to sleep like you always did!"(Takeshi)
-"Th-Thanks..."(Shizuko)
-"no problem, give it back to me when you've done what you want with it" (Takeshi)
-"[Hai]"(Shizuko)
Kuroshi4: Hai means yes in Japanese
Shizuko started looking around the book very carefully, leaving nothing aside.
-"(Sometimes I feel like a father around her)"(Takeshi)
I gave a brief smile and almost instantly felt eyes on my back
-"fuuu...." x3
-"tch"(Takeshi)
Nakamura, Emi and Tsunade were making the same face as when Yuriko lay on my shoulder last night, while they made the same face Shizuko was so attentive to the spell caster that she didn't notice the three eyes on her back
-"(stares....)"(Takeshi)
[Warning: Passive Skill ≪Terrorize≫ has been activated]
I turned my face and started to look at them, a few seconds later the 3 looked away to the sides pretending they didn't see anything
-"(I just looked at them and the Skill was activated, cool...)"(Takeshi)
[Warning: Passive Skill ≪Terrorize≫ has been disabled]
I stopped staring at them and the ability was disabled, no one said anything else and everyone continued walking
-"(What should the vision of others be like when my ability is activated?")"(Takeshi)
Prince Orc made me see the future with his Ability, sera that for everyone it was the same, a way in which two people fight and one ends up dead in various ways
-"T-Takeshi, here's the book" (Shizuko)
Shizuko had finished reading the spell caster and was giving it back to me
-"so fast? Are you really that passionate about books?" (Takeshi)
-"N-Actually, I couldn't understand what was written, by any chance can you?" (Shizuko)
-"Eh?"(Takeshi)
I was speechless
When Shizure had disappeared I took the book and started trying to look for any kind of help to the spell caster and eventually I was able to understand everything that was written in it. Perhaps the 'language comprehension' skill is a skill that the book gave me.
-"N-Not really" (Takeshi)
-"I understand"(Shizuko)
I took the book and opened it without Shizuko looking
[New Skill Learned, Updating Status]
Right after I gained the skill, I closed the book
-"(Just a new Ability is enough)"(Takeshi)
I looked at Shizuko and she was distracted by something else at the time.
-"(I can't do that with someone watching me, especially if it's Shizuko who can't understand what's written here, I'll wait to be alone so I can learn the other skills)"(Takeshi)
-"Activate Skill ≪Dimensional Backpack≫"(Takeshi)
I opened the portal and kept the book inside
-"Disable Skill ≪Dimensional Backpack≫"(Takeshi)
-"(stopping to think, what skill did I gain?)"(Takeshi)
-"(Open status)"(Takeshi)
Nothing happened
-"(I remember being able to open it before just thinking about the word status)"(Takeshi)
-"Guys, we're arriving in the forest"(Nakamura)
-"(Looks like I'll have to put it off for later)"(Takeshi)
-"So what? What's the plan to defeat the Goblins inside this forest?" (Emi)
Everyone was gathered in an area where they would not be seen by anyone in the forest.
-"I...... I don't have a plan" (Nakamura)
-"what?"(Shizuko)
-"what?"(Tsunade)
-"what?"(Emi)
-"what?"(Takeshi)
Everyone was silent for a few seconds until
-"What do you mean you don't have a plan?! You've always given the best plans so far!" (Emi)
-"Calm down, I don't have a new plan so let's use an old plan" (Nakamura)
-"old plan?"(Emi)
-"let's all go in together, the forest is an open place with several scattered trees" (Nakamura)
-"Goblins can hide anywhere and make a surprise attack at any time" (Nakamura)
-"makes sense"(Takeshi)
-"well, let's go, I want to finish the Quest so I can relax now" (Nakamura)
Nakamura got up and started walking and soon after Emi went with him
-"I really want to see how these two will end up with this romance" (Tsunade)
Tsunade got up and ran to the two while Shizuko and I stayed behind
-"well we better go too"(Takeshi)
-"Takeshi"(Shizuko)
I stopped walking and looked at her
-"what was Shizu-"(Takeshi)
-"I know you're the hero" (Shizuko)
