Chapter 82

I have something to say to the world.

People tend to lump the unemployed, hikikomori, and NEETs together, but they are all completely different.

First, hikikomori, as the name suggests, refers to people who do not go out of their homes and do not participate in society.

It is incorrect to say that someone is not a hikikomori because they go to the convenience store once a week to buy Jump, and someone who stays at home but does piecework is not a hikikomori. In other words, being a hikikomori is one of the forms of being unemployed, but being unemployed does not mean being a hikikomori.

Next, NEET refers to people aged 15 to 34 who are not employed, job hunting, attending school, or doing housework. For example, if you consider home security as part of housework, a home security guard is not a NEET.

In other words, since I am engaged in the respectable social activity of job hunting, I am neither a NEET nor a hikikomori.

I reaffirmed this and checked my hikikomori skill.

……………………………………………………

Hikikomori: Magic Skill [Unemployed Level 80]

A skill to create a hole that connects to a subspace and create a world on the other side.

Various functions can be used by consuming MP.

……………………………………………………

………Huh?

A magic called hikikomori!?

This seems to be a powerful magic that could be called spatial magic.

“What’s the matter, Ichino-sama?”

“Nothing, just… Magic List Open”

The magic list has been updated.

It seems to be supplementary magic. There are spells like Fire Form and Thunder Form, which seem to add magic to a sword.

They are quite cool, but the last one on the list was this.

……………………………………………………

My World Lv- MP Cost 0

……………………………………………………

It has no level and does not consume MP.

“My World!”

I extended my hand and cast the spell.

A hole appeared in front of me.

“…Is this my world—”

I said, and in an instant—

I was in another world.

A white world. A world with no up or down.

It was similar to the world where I met the goddess.

It was a zero-gravity world.

This place would definitely not be suitable as a base.

If I lived here for a day, my body would be crushed by gravity when I returned to the original world.

There was one thing floating there.

It was a book.

I extended my hand and grabbed the book nearby.

The book had only two items written in it.

―――――――――――――――

Please trace the item you like.

Star Creation: MP Cost 50

Permission Certificate Creation: MP Cost 100

―――――――――――――――

Star Creation?

I hesitated a bit at the dynamic wording, but I traced the words, thinking this must be the first task I need to do.

Suddenly, ground appeared under my feet.

It was a red earth plain with no grass.

At the same time, I felt gravity.

It seems the star was created.

Despite that, the MP cost was only 50.

There was no sun or moon in the sky.

However, the white space was well-lit, so there was no problem with lighting.

Whether photosynthesis is possible with this light will determine if plants can grow.

Looking behind me, there was a hole in the space.

I approached the hole while holding the book.

Suddenly, I was sucked into the hole and stood up.

I was on a grassland.

It seemed I had returned to the original place.

The hole was still there. When I willed it to disappear, the rift in space vanished.

“Master!” “Ichino-sama!” “Ichino!”

Three people ran to me.

Carrot’s eyes were red. She might have been crying.

Of course, they would be worried if I was suddenly sucked into a strange space.

“Sorry, I made you worry. I just acquired a skill that allows me to create and enter my own world.”

“My own world!? I’ve never heard of such a skill… Is it a type of spatial magic? What’s the name of the skill?”

“Hikikomori—My World.”

I almost said hikikomori but then told them the name of the magic.

“More importantly, let’s go back to town. This skill needs a lot of testing.”

The book that I had brought with me had disappeared.

It seems the book cannot be taken out.

While I was gone, only the rift in space was there, and it seems the three could not enter.

There is something I’m curious about.

Permission Certificate Creation. Does that mean anyone with it can enter my world?

Of course, the usefulness of that skill is high.

It’s a vast land. Depending on the condition of the land, it might be good for agriculture.

I could also build a house.

The possibilities are endless.

Also, can I close the space while someone is inside?

What happens to the people inside in that case?

Does the rift in space always lead to the same place no matter where I create it?

There are many things to test.

“I just want to confirm something. I’ll be right back.”

I said and cast “My World!” again.

The rift in space appeared, and when I entered it, I arrived at the same place as before.

The red earth plain was spread out, so I couldn’t tell if it was the same place, but I picked up the book that was lying there.

―――――――――――――――

Please trace the item you like.

Star Expansion: MP Cost 500

Permission Certificate Creation: MP Cost 100

Trash Can Creation: MP Cost 200

Spring Creation: MP Cost 100+

Earth Nutrient: MP Cost 50

Mine Creation: MP Cost 500+

Volcano Creation: MP Cost 700+

Lake Creation: MP Cost 300+

Plant Time Acceleration: MP Cost 1/day

―――――――――――――――

There are many more items now.

But, an MP cost of 700, what kind of big magic is that? Well, creating a volcano might be a big magic.

What would happen if I created a lake?

Would this place suddenly turn into a lake?

There are more things to test.

Also, the Trash Can has a higher MP cost than the Spring, which is concerning.

There are many other items that catch my attention, but I put the book down and took an arrow from my item bag and stuck it in the ground.

This way, I can check if I return to the same place when I go back to the inn.

I don’t want to worry everyone, so I quickly left this world.

Since I had already told them, they didn’t seem worried this time.

“Alright, the preparations are done. Let’s go back. Once I finish testing, I think I can invite the three of you to my world.”

“I’m looking forward to it.”

“It seems we can do various business here.”

“Ichino’s world… Be careful not to let anyone see under the bed.”

What is Marina expecting?

There’s no bed, let alone a house or room, and the doujinshi are only in my item bag.

After that, I walked back to Ferlit with the three.

Ultimately, can I provide for all my needs with just my world?
