Chapter 4

After finishing the skewers, I decided to test the [Equivalent Exchange] skill again.

"Alright, I get it. Japanese yen can be used as currency in this world. The question is, can I convert this 'copper coin' back to Japanese yen?"

To do that, the problem is how to use the skill.

Last time, the skill activated unconsciously, but there must be some condition for it to work.

"Hmm."

I placed the copper coin in my palm and concentrated, thinking, "Turn into Japanese yen!"

Then,

"Whoa... It’s back to its original form."

Amazingly, the 35 copper coins had turned into 3,500 yen. The breakdown was three 1,000-yen bills and one 500-yen coin.

In other words,

Japanese yen → This world's currency

This world's currency → Japanese yen

The test results proved that my [Equivalent Exchange] skill can convert currency between both worlds.

What a skill.

This is pretty amazing.

Next, I took a 10,000-yen bill from my wallet and activated the Equivalent Exchange skill.

The 10,000-yen bill disappeared with a whoosh, and a silver coin appeared in its place.

"The color is different from before. Is this a silver coin?"

I returned to the food stall and showed the silver coin to the vendor.

"Hey, can you use this?"

The vendor made a slightly unpleasant face and said,

"Bro, you don't have any copper coins left? I can't give you change for a silver coin."

Ah, so it is a silver coin.

That means,

1 copper coin → 100 yen

1 silver coin → 10,000 yen

So, using my skill, I can convert Japanese yen to this world's currency.

Moreover, if I earn money in this world, I can convert it back to Japanese yen.

What is this? This is incredible.

"First, I should convert my cash to this world's currency."

I used the Equivalent Exchange skill to convert the money in my wallet.

In total, I got two silver coins and 35 copper coins.

This should be enough for walking around the town.

"Since I have this world's currency, I'll go for a walk."

I jingled the coins in my pocket and decided to explore the town.

As I strolled around, I came across a wide street that looked like a market.

Stalls and vendors lined both sides of the road, and occasionally, passersby would stop to look.

It's really lively.

"Wow, it really feels like a medieval European fantasy."

A man dressed in armor, looking like an adventurer.

A lady in a robe with a twisted staff.

And even some anthropomorphic beings with animal ears.

With such a fantasy setting, my excitement soared.

I really want to talk to them—especially a cute girl with animal ears.

However, there was one obstacle.

"My clothes... I really stand out here."

My cutting-edge outdoor style from Japan must look very strange to the people of this world.

Everyone is looking at me with curious eyes.

"Yeah, I need to get some new clothes. I should buy some."

Deciding that, I started looking for a clothing store.

Is there a vendor selling clothes?

While looking around, I heard a voice from behind.

"Excuse me... Would you like some flowers?"

I turned around to see a cute girl, about 10 years old.

"Hmm, do you need something from me?"

When I asked, the girl shyly said,

"Would you like some flowers?"
