~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

When I logged in, my best friend, darkness, greeted me. Is it strange? I work at night, I have to be friends with darkness.

I summoned Neil which goes to sleep on my shoulder right away. …… even though it is night, well, it is fine.

I thought about making potion, but it was the long-awaited night.

Since that is the case, I would like to go hunting.

If I’m right, there was a quest to subjugate goblins in the eastern

area. Shall I try doing that quest? Language skills have leveled up too, so it’s should be okay.

Ah, there was a small forest near the place where you can

receive the subjugation quest. It is not as big as [Twilight

Forest].

However, there are likely to be medicinal plants in that forest. I may be able to collect some during the quest. That’s right, this forest is relatively close, and the

village where you can receive the quest is … Berry Village.

Incidentally, I have not extended the map to there. But for some unknown reason I know about it. It’s feels

like the image just come to my mind. Maybe, it is thanks to the [Land Familiarity] skill.

[Land Familiarity] skills seem to tell information about place I

searched on the map. More than just telling me, my

character become more familiar with that place.

[Land Familiarity] is a skill developed from the character’s

experience and knowledge, so it seems that I cannot use its ability on a land

that I do not know about or has no information on it.

Now, let’s go to Berry village first. I do not get lost in the streets of this city. I walk towards the east gate.

The eastern region seems to have fewer people than when I came

last time. Where are the second season-top

player right now? Certainly, they should

not have left the kingdom yet.

I do not understand … the leading group. Most of the top players in the leading group are said to be

role players. So, it looks like they are moving

to many different places.

Walking along the road on the prairie, I found a signpost placed

on the branching road. This way I would not get lost. Then Berry Village come into view. There is dazzling bonfire. It is

not that I’m weak against light, but as a dark magician, it looks like I have

come to regard it as a potential weakness.

“uwaaah!! You surprised me! Just, a person huh…”

I have surprised the soldier who was guarding the entrance of

the village. I’m sorry, it should have been

hard to see the black cloak. For the time

being, I apologize and said my greeting while keeping my head down.

“I’m sorry, I’ve heard that you can get a goblin subjugation

quest here.”

“Are you coming to receive punishment from Cobb?”

“……that’s not it”

I was talked in words I do not understand well because of

language skills. Recently, it often happened. Sometimes I hear the other party’s words wrong. Apparently, it seems to be caused by some translation failure.

“Oh, you’re going to get rid of the goblins. Then you should

go to the village chief’s house”

I did not fail this time. That’s good.

“But, for two people to come tonight. I’m saved, there were

fewer people who came recently.”

“is that so?”

…… Apparently there was another other people who came to

this village to take the quest. For now, let’s go.

The village chief’s house was in a conspicuous part of the

village. Even though it is in the middle of the night, the light is lit,

make it easy to find.

“Oh, you are …”

The man who were standing in front of the village chief house called

out to me while I have such a thought. I could easily

tell the person appearance because the night vision effect and the surrounding

light. A knight dressed in a white armor. He is a young man who have blue hair and eyes.

“I was surprised. To meet such a lovely young lady … is

this fate that guided us here?”

Kuroe-san really is cute. Because I made

it look so.

However, it is because of his appearance that he is allowed to

say such lines. His face is as cool as film actors. However, even though he behaves like that, he doesn’t use “-sama”. For

a player, his acting ability is considerably high. Makes me want to learn from him.

Wait, I still don’t know who that player is … Well, I guess he

is a role player. If he is acting, I must also be

acting. After all, I am also a role player.

“Thank you for your compliment”

Kuroe was a viscount daughter. She who has such a past should be able to easily say such

words.

“It’s not just a compliment. … My name is Kyle. I want

you to tell me your name, cute young lady.”

“Please call me Kuroe”

I lift the hem of the dress a little and say my greeting like a noble

lady.

Oh, role play is fun. Until now, having

a decent role have never been possible due to language differences.

“It’s a weirdly lovely name. “

…… The language skills can’t read the air. Ah, Kyle-san sparkling smile is ruined. I’m sorry. I will raise

the level of language skills as soon as possible.

“… A~ah, if possible, I would also like to know the name

of the child who is on your shoulder.”

“This is Neil. My Familiar.”

When I looked at my shoulder, Neil that I thought to be sleeping

was awake. Somehow, he stares at Kyle-san suspiciously.

“looks like I am hated?”

“……I’m sorry”

Neil, I think this person is not a bad person. So, don’t be so cautious. I give Neil a glance and said not to worry.

It will be okay, if he is a bad person then I will blow him away

with my dark magic. Now, it a disappointed face, please stop looking over

there.

“By the way, Kuroe-san, are you also here to receive the subjugation

quest?”

“Yes, that is the case.”

“In fact, me too. If it is alright with you, why don’t we do

the quest together?”

《You

received a party invitation from Kyle. would you like

to join the party?》

Hmm … That’s right. I also don’t

have any problem with it. There is no

reason to refuse it in particular, moreover we both are role players.

“That is fine.”

I answer “YES” to the party invitation.

“Then, for the time being I will be Kuroe-ojousama exclusive

knight. I will definitely protect you.”

Oh, the language skill is reading the atmosphere. Thank you very much. I

saw a perfect role play. Ah, Neil. Giving

that look again… that’s rude, okay.

“I will be in your care, Knight-sama,”

Then let’s do a Kuroe-san-style princess role as not to lose

here. … That is way, Neil, why do you look cold here? It’s

Kuroe-san’s time now.

Well, it was my fault that Kuroe-san become a weed eater ojousama.

That is way, from now on I’m going to act like Kuroe-san more. Of course, witch-like.

Q: Why is the kanji of [Land Familiarity] skill not “land

instinct”?

A: It was not an intuitive ability, but an ability based on

knowledge and information.
