Chapter 1: What Now??

The carriage drove over the pavement and made loud creaking sound.

"… Another world… Hey, it really is another world. Eh, it's for real? I am

going to use magic and adventure in this world?"

I was trembling with excitement because of the scene before me and started talking to myself.

Before my eyes were houses built from red bricks, the streets right out of Europe in the Middle Ages. There were no cars, bikes, power lines or telecommunication cables.

"Ah… Ah… Ahh…"

I looked around the street, watching the people passing by.

"Animal ears! There is someone with animal ears! And elf ears! Is that an

elf? With such striking facial features, she definitely is one! Good bye

hikikomori life! Hello different world! If it was this world, I am willing to go

out and work obediently!"

"Ahh… Ahhh…. Ahhhh!"

I turned around and looked at Terly who was hugging her head screaming.

"Hey, you are noisy. What if they think I am related to a crazy woman like you? Stop screaming, you should be giving something to me at a time like this right? Look at what I am wearing. Gym clothes? I finally arrived in a fantasy world but I am wearing a full set of gym clothes. According to the norm in games, you should be giving me the minimum equipment…"

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh–!"

The goddess screamed as she pounced over to grab me.

"Woah! What, what are you doing, don't act this way! I get it, I will do

something about the basic equipment. I should say that I was wrong! If you

are unwilling, please go back . I will think about what to do in the future."

Terly tried to strangle me with teary eyes, so I shook off her hand and tried to shoo her away with an annoyed expression.

In the end, Terly said with trembling hands:

"What are you talking about? I am troubled because I can't go back! What now? Hey, what should I do! What am I going to do in the future? This is exactly what happened to my loser of a mom!"

Terly fell into a panic in tears, pacing about while hugging her head.

Her waist length hair was a mess, she looked crazy right now, although she's

was a beauty when she kept quiet.

"Hey, calm down goddess. The first place to visit should be the tavern.

Everything starts from collecting information at a tavern. This is the standard in role playing games."

"Huh…! You are just a hikikomori gaming NEET, why are you so reliable? Ah, Kanike, my name is Terly. I don't mind you addressing me as goddess, but do call me by my name whenever possible. Or else we would be surrounded by citizens and couldn't go on adventures and take down the demon king. This might be a different world, but I am still one of the revered gods of this world, right after my mom."

Terly said as she followed behind me confidently.

Alright, there should a group formed to take on the demon king or an

adventurer guild made to defeat monsters.

Speaking of which, Terly is a goddess, he can ask her if he had any questions.

"Terly, please tell me where is the position of the adventurers guild. Which way should we go?"

I asked Terly, but she just looked at me blankly.

"…? I won't know even if you ask me. I know the common knowledge of

this world, but not the situation in town. This is just one of the many existing planets, and just a small town at that! How would I know?"

This girl was useless.

There's no other way, so I asked a middle aged lady passing by. I didn't ask guys for fear of meeting delinquents, while the difficulty of

talking to young girls was too high for me.

"Excuse me– may I ask something? I am looking for a place similar to an

Adventurers guild…"

"Guild! Ara, to not know where the guild is, could you be from out of town?"

From what the madam was saying, there really was a guild here, which made me relieved.

"That's right, I am a traveler who came from a far away land, I just reached this town."

"Ara ara… Since you came to this town, you must be aiming to become an adventurer. Welcome to the town of novice adventurers, Axel. Follow the main road and turn right, you will see the signboard for the guild."

"Take a right down the road, got it, thank you very much! … Hey, let's go."

A town for novice adventurers. I see. This was a good starting point for the dead who gets transported here. After thanking the lady, I followed her directions while Aqua followed me

with respect in her eyes and sighed:

"Hey, you came up with an excuse right on the spot, why are you able to

handle this so perfectly? You seemed to be a capable guy, why were you a

hikiNEET without any girls or friends? Why did you want to stay at home all day and be a hikiNEET?"

"Not having a girl or friends isn't a bad thing. The value of a person cannot be measured by the number of friends or having a significant other. And don't call me a hikiNEET. Damn bitch. Don't combine hikikomori and NEET together, and I am just 16, too young to be a NEET by society's standard…There it is."

Terly pounced over to strangle me for calling her a bitch, but I ignored her

and entered the Adventurers guild.
