Chapter 39

-- Well, it's midnight. The night sky is illuminated by a unique, reddish moon of this world, creating a rather fantastical moonlight.

"Wow, it's so beautiful! And considering this is the village of Ketsi, the excitement is doubled...!"

I could stay awake all night just to watch. The stars, shining as if following the red moon, fill the sky. I stared blankly for a while, then suddenly snapped to attention.

"I can't do this, I need to register the <Transfer Gate>."

The <Transfer Gate> can be used when you have the <Adventurer's Bracelet> equipped. Players call it a gate, and it's a system that allows you to travel between gates, or between towns. However, to use it, you need to register at a gate, among other conditions.

<Catra of Ketsi> is a village, so there is only one gate set up somewhere in the village. In larger cities, there are usually two, including one at the entrance. By the way, I found this village's gate at the edge of the village while asking around with Frey about jobs. It's about three meters tall and adorned with a sculpture of the god who is said to have created this world. However, here, the design is also incorporated with a cute, squishy look.

I touch the magic stone held by the sculpted god. That completes the registration.

"I came at midnight just to be safe, but I guess I could have done it during the day..."

To the villagers, it would just look like I'm touching an object at the edge of the village.

Well, let's head back to Torte's house. Just as I thought that, I heard a voice calling me, "Master?"

"Tarte! It's dangerous to be out at this hour?"

"That's what I'd say to you, Master."

"Oh dear..."

It seems Tarte is a step ahead. I can't argue, so I just chuckle, but since Tarte is still young, I remind her, "No, it's not okay?"

Of course, I'll be careful too.

"What were you doing out here at this hour?"

"Ah, I had some business with that gate."

"Gate? What's that?"

Tarte tilted her head in confusion. Yeah, I haven't seen anyone else use this <Transfer Gate> either.

"I have a lot to teach you, Tarte. But maybe we can start with that after we set off tomorrow?"

To use the gate, you need the <Adventurer's Bracelet>, but I don't know if Tarte can get one yet.

"First, let's decide what kind of <Alchemist> you want to be."

"The kind of <Alchemist> I want to be?"

"Yep."

I explained to her that among <Alchemists>, there are those who excel in combat, those who mainly deal with <Pharmaceuticals>, and various other approaches.

"I see. But, you can't choose your skills yourself, can you? It's impossible to decide what kind of <Alchemist> you want to be, right?"

"Ah, that's true..."

I proposed the topic too early! I should have talked about it after getting the <Adventurer's Bracelet>! But it's too late now.

...Anyway, since Tarte is my disciple, she'll learn a lot eventually.

"Do you recognize this bracelet I'm wearing?"

"...? I don't know. Is it a valuable bracelet?"

"This is called the <Adventurer's Bracelet>."

I told her that and explained what the <Adventurer's Bracelet> can do, like being able to allocate skills and use the <Bag>.

"That's amazing. Do the other girls know about this?"

"No, I haven't told Torte or Frey. Actually, I haven't told anyone."

"That's good. I think you shouldn't tell anyone unless they are truly trustworthy."

Otherwise, I might be in danger... Tarte said, looking worried. If the nobility found out, they might try to get it... and so on.

I can't hide my surprise at how thoughtful Tarte is. She seems much more mature than I am...

"I trust the girls, but they're a bit different from your companions. I think it's better not to tell them."

For now, Tarte added. She seems to think it's okay to tell them gradually if I decide to spread the word.

...Indeed, I hope I can spread the word someday.

If adventurers know about the <Adventurer's Bracelet>, their range of activities will expand. This will lead to more dungeons being cleared and more monster drop items circulating. Items in general will become easier to obtain.

"...Yeah. If I can make it public someday, I'll tell Frey and the others first."

"Okay."

Still, that future is a long way off. As a mere adventurer, it's impossible. For example, it would need to be a world-class adventurer, or a royal family member... or at worst, a Guild Master? to effectively use the information.

First, to gain the power to speak, I want to try to change my job to <Holy Maiden>.

Thank you for your reviews and congratulations on the reprint...! (I'm so happy)

I'm sorry I can't reply individually. I'll work hard to update...!
