CH 33

Voice in the Sky

We left the cabin and walked straight to the road….Well at least I wanted to

[ There is no road ]

[ That’s inevitable; after all this place is rarely visited by anyone.]

We walk through the field

There is neither road nor landmark, so we should use the sun to head towards the town.

Then;

<<Explorer skill acquired. Skill points acquired: 4>>

Suddenly I heard a voice

[Eh!? Who are you?]

[Is something wrong?]

Could it be, Lilia is unable to hear it?

<<I am a navigation system. Lilia is unable to hear me.>>

[I see, is that so.]

<<If possible, could you do as I say? It would be convenient for you if you do.>>

[I understand. What do you want me to do?

<<First; open the window. Then select skill.>>

I open the window and select skill just as I’m told.

…..I touch the button where it is written “Blocked(´・ω・`)”

<<Thank you. Next try using the skill which you recently acquired.>>

There was nothing there a little while ago

The place that was written “Blocked(´・ω・`)” was changed into…..<<Explorer>>

<< New skill acquired: Map.>>

[ This time it’s a map?]

<< Yes. Please return to the main window.>>

There was no back button until she mentioned it just a moment ago.

<<Map>>

The said item was available

When I touch it obediently,

なんもないやん

It’s blank.

<< That’s obvious.>>

[It is normal….]

<<The effect of the map is to show the places you’ve went through; you see, that part in the map where you are at right now is cleared up.>>

[What? You mean that dot?]

The center of the map turned into a green point.

<< It’s a map.>>

[So small !!]

The point at the center seems to be the map.

<< Please do not misunderstand!! It’s like that because only places you’ve explored are revealed on the map.>>

[So in short?]

<< To complete the map just simply walk.♪>>

[Isn’t this just a plan to gain muscle?]

<<It’s the basis of the game. Please persevere.>>

In other words, only the places you’ve gone through are covered by the map, only those places are affected by the map skill.

In short, right now it’s useless

Quite insignificant……

<<What’s with that face? You seem so dissatisfied with it?>>

[Frustrated, but not particularly dissatisfied.]

<<Is that so; I’ll be on my way then, do your best.>>

[ Just because it’s someone else’s problem it’s vanity isn’t light?

<<It’s not my problem.>>

Uuu so cruel…

<<Oh dear, do your best, I’ll be cheering for you.{smirk}>>

[It’s improper how you are using parentheses inside another one. Hehe.]

<<Please leave me be.>>

I’m beginning to enjoy this

[Um..Haruna chan?]

[ Oh I’m sorry, Lilia.]

That reminds me Lilia can’t hear it.

<<Lilia seems to be doing fine.>>

[Oh? Are you an acquaintance?]

<<We used to be classmate from the same school.>>

[Heeee…..So you were a classmate.]

[Haruna. Please get a grip!! Come back!!]

Lilia has been worried about me

[I’m sorry Lilia. Now…… Hm? What was your name again?]

<< I believe I haven’t told you. My name is Helena. Nice to meet you.>>

[Yes. Nice to meet you. I am Haruna.]

<<I know. Afterall I was watching.>>

[Watching?]

<<Yes. Ever since you woke up and was lovey-dovey with Lilia and……..>>

[Eh!!! Really!?]

<<Yes . You were….uuhhmm how do I put it…..>>

[Don’t say it!! Don’t say it!!]

Having been watched…. It is so embarrassing……

<< Well, although I will be peeping in the future, please don’t mind me.>>

[So you say it is okay. I must say…

I am ashamed, I declared so as I sat on the ground.
