Chapter 3

A slight miscalculation occurred.

"Lord George is such a well-behaved and easy-to-manage child. Come, everyone, let's finish our work while Lord George is being so quiet," the head maid commanded. The maids scattered like spiders to their respective posts.

It seems that the perception of me as an easy-to-manage baby has spread, and the George Maid Squad has disbanded. If that's the case, I'll use this time to review the knowledge I have.

The stage for Kimite is the world of Recolt, a world of swords and magic, in other words, a fantasy world. The story mainly revolves around the country of Orizon. Orizon is a country with a medieval European style, which, despite being a cliché, is the most popular and easiest to explain to sponsors.

The most important thing is that it's a fantasy world with a medieval European style. The medieval European style is the most crucial aspect.

Most criticisms can be deflected with "It's a fantasy world" and "It's just a medieval European style."

Even if someone points out that cows weren't eaten because they were used for farming in medieval Europe, or that iron swords should have been more expensive, it's fine. Even if samurais or flying vehicles appear, they can be dismissed with the word "fantasy." Whether the protagonist eats white bread or has glass windows, it can be explained away as a medieval European style.

However, when I actually find myself in a world with a medieval European style, worries flood my mind.

(What about the plague? There's no way there are rabies vaccines, right?)

The world of Kimite has healing magic, but I don't think it can cure all diseases.

(Come to think of it, can medicinal herbs really stop heavy bleeding?)

In games, even near-death injuries can be walked off, and heavy bleeding can be healed with a lot of herbs... but that's not realistic. Herbs are only effective for minor bleeding and disinfection.

Rule 1 for surviving in another world: Avoid overexertion and injuries at all costs.

Next is clothing, food, and shelter.

Clothing is not a problem. I don't mind being dressed up like a sparrow or a doll. However, I don't want to wear flashy clothes. I prefer simple and practical ones.

Shelter is not a problem either, as I can live in one of the best places in Recolt...

(No, there are no bidets in Recolt!!)

Moreover, if it's close to medieval Europe, the toilet situation is the worst. In the Palace of Versailles, there were few toilets, so people used to relieve themselves behind pillars. In Italy, they used to empty chamber pots outside.

Rule 2 for surviving in another world: Solve the toilet situation and create a magical item to serve as a bidet.

The biggest problem is food. In the game, the food in Recolt was diverse. Since one of the heroines is from the Land of Wa, rice also appears... but Kimite is, after all, a medieval European-style fantasy.

However...

(Soy sauce and miso don't appear, right? Wait, I can't eat ramen or sushi anymore!! I can't live without Japanese food or junk food.)

I'm in trouble; I want to eat ramen. I want to eat Kame no Menuma's tamago rice bowl. I want to eat Gintaro's takoyaki. I want to eat Green Tanuki. I want to eat Black Thunder Chocolate. I want to eat simmered fish, karaage, braised pork, and oden.

(Send me back to Japan!! If that's not possible, at least send me some light salt potato chips and canned mackerel in water!!)

I prefer hot white rice and side dishes over fancy French cuisine.

Rule 3 for surviving in another world: Reproduce Japanese cuisine within my means. Not just Japanese food, but Japanese cuisine.

Military and magical power can be left to my subordinates. My role is to live happily with my people.

＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿

Since my neck has settled, the George Maid Squad (limited revival) has started taking me for walks. Real maid walks... I wonder why people pay just to walk together. If you think about it, they must not want to walk together unless they get paid.

"Look, Lord George. That's the Tree of Refuge over there. The Tree of Refuge in the manor is magnificent."

(Oh, that's the Tree of Refuge. It looks sacred.)

The Tree of Refuge emits light mana, which keeps monsters away. People naturally began to live centered around the Tree of Refuge. Travelers also use the Tree of Refuge for their camps... incidentally, in the game, the Tree of Refuge served as a save point.

"The brave hero Brave Ideck also used the Tree of Refuge to defeat the Demon King Shagran," the head maid said.

The Demon King Shagran once plunged Recolt into fear and chaos. The sky darkened, the wind stopped, and the sea ceased to move due to Shagran's magic. The great god Gruppe, moved by this, sent a divine messenger to a young boy.

The boy's name was Brave Ideck. He traveled with six girls, overcame numerous hardships, and grew into a hero. He defeated the Demon King Shagran and brought peace to Recolt... but now, darkness is stirring again.

That's the opening of Kimite.

(Although I made the game, what exactly is a demon king?)

If this is a world created by a god, then the demon king and monsters were also created by the god.

Incidentally, in Kimite, when you defeat a monster, you get a magic stone, which can be exchanged for money. This is because magic stones contain magic power, and people use them to maintain a prosperous life.

(There's no way magic stones would remain after defeating a monster in a real world, not just a fantasy world.)
