65 Episode 5: The Second Day

The sun is almost setting and thankfully, I manage to find an uninhabited cave for me to stay for now. With all the monsters lurking all around the place, it would be hard to deal with things that are more active at night.

Shelter problem, check.

Oh, I also have to say that some of the monsters are safe to eat. Earlier today, I managed to kill a basilisk, a big chicken monster with a tail of a snake. According to Blue, it can turn you into stone if you look straight on its eyes but to me, it's just a hybrid of chicken and snake. In short, I burned it alive allowing me to roast the basilisk. After confirming with Blue that the flesh of this monster is available for consumption, I butchered the carcass and managed to get my food for the day.

Food problem, check.

There is also a running stream nearby and a few herbs that Blue also confirmed to be herbs for healing wounds. The stream is near the cave so it was a pretty ideal spot for home.

Water and medicine supply, check.

The only problem left is that I lack the change of clothes. With only my uniform as my own clothes, I have to take extra care that my clothes will not get destroyed here. It would be bothersome to buy a brand new uniform.

Somehow, the whole situation is alright for me. Not that bad but not that good either. And when the night falls, I started to burn the wood that I gathered earlier using my magic skill and prepared the basilisk meat. With only meat and there are no spices, I am only left with eating roasted basilisk.

The taste was not bad, and it is certainly much tastier than the original chicken but since I am not a professional cook nor I have condiments to make this basilisk meat tastier, it only tastes bland chicken to my mouth.

"Just where did these monsters come from? It clearly exists only in novels and games but now I am seeing the actual thing. Are they some kind of exotic species that only exist in this place?"

"These monsters are already existing ever since the world was created but due to the violent and destructive nature of these monsters, they didn't get the chance to live alongside humans and magicians. They were all banished here. Therefore, the other side might be flourishing from buildings, but this place is flourishing with monsters and wildlife."

If these monsters were to break out and managed to find their way to the other world, chaos would surely break out and an all-out war will occur. Ever since I found this phone, I would never expect everything would be happening and would think that these places and creatures would only exist in the imagination.

Now that I think about it, the phone was the source of everything. Ever since I moved into the house of my late parents, I wouldn't be dreaming of becoming a magician.

"Hey, Blue. Do you perhaps know my parents by any chance?"

"..." Blue did not respond for quite a while.

"Is it a confidential matter?"

"I am sorry Kazuma. This is a confidential matter and even me has no power to fully tell what is my relationship with your parents. But I am pretty sure you already deduced what they are already."

So my hunch was right. My parents were magicians. However, their identities as magicians are nonexistent in the catalog of magicians that listed all of the magicians known in which can be easily opened and accessed in the chat group of magicians.

"If that was the case, I wouldn't bother asking but I will try to find the real identity of my parents and what they really are in the world of magicians. Maybe I would find an explanation of why I was left alone by them to my relatives."

After that, the noisy Blue did not respond much that night which leaves me talking with Yuto and Yuri before I go to sleep.

…

Today marks the second day of my training on this other world. I marked this place on the map to make sure that I can return here if I needed a shelter. Of course, I didn't bother to covet this place. I won't be staying in this place for too long anyway so I didn't bother putting any marks that I am taking this place like leaving a few belongings here. That way, this would be a real survival.

My day started by killing a few carnivorous plants. Since they easily got burned by my flames, they didn't pose much challenge to me. I still have the leftover basilisk meat with me so I didn't need to gather food this morning.

After that, I killed a few more monsters I met on my way. There are harmless monsters that I passed by and since they didn't bother with me, they were not killed too. I only kill the monsters who get the attraction to me as food. Most of the monsters here are carnivores and there are rare cases of herbivore monsters and only eat fish types too.

My points went up steadily without much problem and at the end of the day, I managed to get my points to 10,000 which is a lot. Most enemies that I killed are all weak in flames so they didn't get much chance of surviving. On the other hand, there are more monsters that are very strong against flames. However, they don't pose much threat too with some of my other magic skills and even some of them can be killed with just a little bit of grapple. Overall, I didn't have any trouble from earning points it's just that with my points, the number of other magicians looking to take my points would escalate soon.

Just as I was about to find some food for lunch, I detected other magicians in the area and currently surveying the place. I didn't lay myself in the open and quickly goes to a hiding.

"Are you sure you detected one magician here?" One of them asked.

"I am quite sure. Though its presence disappeared just now. I don't know what happened to him."

"Damn, I bet that guy has lots of points. We need to try and take that guy down if we find him here and grab all his points. Don't give mercy to him."

Oh, are they one of the rumored guys who steal other magician's points? Then I have no choice but to leave. These guys would spell trouble if I get to show up near them. However, I never expected to see a group of female magicians gather on the stream and started undressing. From the looks of it, they are about to take a bath. I have no intention of peeping but there is a huge chance of the two groups to cross each other. 

This is really bad. What should I do in this situation?! P.S. I didn't get a boner, I am not a pervert and J have self control.
