Chapter 145: Short trip to a slice-of-life world
Chapter 145: Short trip to a slice-of-life world
A tremendous energy suddenly basked in the entire hall, and a radiant light glowed so abruptly, causing everyone to close their eyes.
Then, as soon as the light disappeared, several figures were seen.
"Sir Warrior!"
Suddenly, a beautiful young woman with an expensive and exquisite dress is like a princess in a fantasy story.
"The summing ritual has brought you three warriors to us! Please save this Kingdom of Rayseer!"
Yet, her beautiful face showed distress and tears, causing those who saw her to wish to give their everything to help her. Only soon did her expression become confused since there were more than three warriors.
"Three warriors.... err, what?"
There were more than three warriors, four of them, to be exact.
Three of them dressed like a student who were summoned into a reincarnation story to become a hero who would save a kingdom from the terror that was about to bring doom to everyone, and the last one was wearing a suit, appearing like an ordinary salaryman that one usually saw on the country where those four came from.
Now, where is Isao?
Well, Isao was also there, but unlike them, he hid his presence by using Yushiro's ability from the world of "Kimetsu no Yaiba," which allowed him to hide his presence.
Yup, he became invisible and watched the story before him unfounded.
While it was a cliche story about a group of high school students being summoned forcefully to save a kingdom from the demon king or another country, Isao had to say that this scene was interesting since he was there instead of reading the story, which he had read for so many years that even if he just read the title and synopsis, he could imagine how the story would unfold.
Well, his story was also similar since all he did was go on an adventure, get stronger, and get a harem.
If there was a difference, then it was the fact that he was more interested in mature women than the younger ones.
Still, at the same time, he also realized that he might have gotten more cowardly since, instead of staying in the world of "Danmachi," he decided to go to another world to get stronger.
Instead of facing adversity by working hard and slaying his enemy, he tried the safest way.
Yet, it couldn't be helped since, unlike before, he was a husband and a father. He had a responsibility, and his life was no longer his. In another world, many were waiting for him, so it was impossible for him to fail, and he had to succeed in this challenge, where he had to face hundreds of enemies by himself.
Nevertheless, he was surprised by the many worlds that he could visit now.
'Along with this, there's a total of four worlds that I've entered.'
There were still more, but he decided to look around this world first since it seemed quite interesting. However, he had to say he felt a bit nervous since he was unfamiliar with this world. Still, watching the four people who were summoned, he didn't intend to say anything and walked toward the priest, who wanted to check their status since he was also curious. But before that, he was going to replicate their DNA first.
Touching the four people who were summoned into the Isekai, he was dumbfounded.
[You have acquired Mukoda Tsuyoshi.]
[Do you want to absorb it?]
'Oh, it's that cooking story, huh?'
Yet, this also made him feel strange since, from the all-out-battle story, he suddenly entered a slice-of-life story. Nevertheless, he was glad to come since the skills he gained from those four were amazing, especially the protagonist of this world. Moreover, he was looking for luck and a fast potential to grow.
Nevertheless, he couldn't help but check the skills that he gained from Mukoda's DNA.
The first was an "Item Box," which allowed him to use a space as a place to keep his things. Frankly, he was glad to get this skill since while the Infinity Castle was good, it couldn't allow the ingredients or items that had an expired time to be frozen in a time, and kept it fresh.
On the other hand, the second skill wasn't shabby either, and this skill was known as "Online Shopping."
Yup, that online shopping that was usually seen in the modern world, and with this skill, it allowed him to buy something on the online shop, but unlike the online shop, which made him have to wait at least a few days or a day, depending on the service he chose, he would get the item he bought immediately. Moreover, not only was there a variety of items, but everything that was sold was of its best quality, and if he cooked something from the ingredients bought with this skill, it would also boost his status.
Oh, right, he also got a skill that allowed him to evaluate someone else's skill, but somehow, this skill was meaningless if he had to face a strong opponent that could make anyone tremble. However, it was also useful to learn the skills that were owned by someone, and somehow, this also worked perfectly with his ability, allowing him to replicate other's DNA, so when instead of wasting his stamina to replicate useless people's DNA, he might as well use this skill first before he used his ability.
Yet, he had to say, the gains he got from this world were immense, but then, was he going to stay here?
Isao thought for a while and decided to return to the world of "Danmachi." It might be weird since he had only been in this world just for a short moment, but as he knew the story of the "Tondemo Skill de Isekai Hourou Meshi," he knew that except for cooking and Mukoda's pets, there was hardly anything interesting. Moreover, he wasn't stupid enough to go after Fafnir, who was one of the strongest creatures in the world.
While he hadn't seen Fafnir, Mukoda's pet, somehow he could imagine that this fantasy beast might be comparable to the god in the world of "Danmachi."
He might have the luck of Mukoda, and he could probably tame Fafnir, too, but he didn't really want to keep a large dog who asked him to feed him all the time. Instead of an owner, somehow, he would become a caretaker or a cook who had to cook for someone.
He didn't want to become such a person, so he thought to go back.
As for the three warriors or the chosen heroes?
Isao looked at the three high school students: a guy, two females, and the princess. They were all cute, but then he decided to let the guy have them.
As for the queen?
While she was fair, Isao decided not to do anything to her, but then, as he was in this world, he might as well replicate all the DNAs he could and also learn anything he could since each world had its own specialties and even if this world was about a slice-of-life story, there was something that he could learn for.
'If it's this world, then I can bring my family.'
If it was another world like the "Danmachi," "Kimetsu no Yaiba," or the "Highschool of the Dead," he definitely wouldn't bring his women since they would meet many troubles.
Look at him, who was handsome; even though he just tried to become stronger, he attracted the attention of the homo.
All of his women were beautiful and sexy, and if he was weak, no one would take him seriously and even try to get their hands forcefully on what was supposed to be his.
As he was evil before, he knew that a human wasn't different from an animal. If there was a difference, it was how everyone had been tamed by those who stood at the upper by something known as a "rule," but for those who stood above or those who didn't care about the "rule," then they would rob those who they wished like how Apollo.
Isao took a deep breath, and the world stopped once again, but this time, he didn't go to another world and returned to the world of "Danmachi." As for why he didn't go to the new world, he thought that he wasn't ready, and frankly, compared to the world of "Tondemo Skill de Isekai Hourou Meshi," the world of "Danmachi" was much safer since it had a blessing that allowed him to grow stronger.
On the other hand, in the world of "Tondemo Skill de Isekai Hourou Meshi," there was no such thing, and all the deities were even more helpless.
At the same time, compared to Hestia's blessing, the blessing given by the deities in that world was... well... lukewarm. While it was true that he had to fight and work hard when it came to Hestia's blessing, it also allowed him to get used to the newfound power he gained.
The harder you work, the stronger you are.
This was why the world of "Danmachi" was more interesting, and more importantly, there were many women who were in need of his help in this world!
Even if he had a husband and a father, he hadn't forgotten his objection, and the boy's soul was blazing hot within his heart!
Moreover, with the skills he gained from Mukoda, there was no need for him to return to the surface, and he could stay in the dungeon all the time, focusing on getting stronger to beat the shit of the Apollo Familia!
'Wait, what about the skills of the three heroes?'
Isao was more focused on Mukoda, so he forgot the three chosen warriors, but then, when he saw the skills he got, his expression became weird.
'Holy swordsmanship, holy spearmanship, holy magic, fire magic, and water magic.'
"....."
Isao fell in silence for a while and thought that he really had become a hero.
Even though he had tried to become a good person, it threw him off when he suddenly got such a pure, just, and kind-like power, especially when he was used to using an evil-like power.
However, this was good since it meant his effort to become a good person was acknowledged, and from now on, it has been his true journey to becoming a good person!
Stepping forward, he decimated every monster he had seen as he honed his skills, pushing himself to the limit as the red spider lily and centipede mark on his neck glowed in the ominous light.
Meanwhile, while Isao was working hard, Hestia didn't stay silent. She went to Hesphaustus and begged her best friend with all of her might.
"Hephaestus, please help me to make weapons for Isao-kun!"
