Walking in Another World

r>Well… I do feel a bit lonely, like she’s been taken from me, but seeing Chris have fun talking like that makes me happy, so feel free to keep talking to her.
I approve of your friendship, but if you hurt her, I will never forgive you.
Right?”

Yep.
Her smile is scaring me.

That being said, while we did talk normally, we were talking about magic.

Chris probably loves magic, so she gets excited talking about it.

“But still, you can use Basic Daily Life Magic… How did you learn it?”

“Ah… I don’t really remember.
A lot happened, so I don’t remember that time very well.”

I try to sidestep this topic.
Even I know this isn’t a good excuse, but it’s hard to explain that I was summoned from another world.

No, if there are records of summoned heroes defeating the demon king, maybe people also know about people from another world.

But I don’t think I shouldn’t talk about that now.
I might actually end up involving them, although there’s a chance that just being together like this is already involving them.
I really wish those people just forget about me, or that even if they don’t, they just leave me alone.
I won’t bother them either.

“Chris knows a lot about magic, even spells she can’t use herself.
You should ask her more about it if you’re interested.”

I will do that.
It should help me to know what skills I can learn.

And then, we keep watch and continue talking to make sure we stay awake, but quietly enough that it doesn’t bother Chris’ rest.

Eventually, Chris takes over from Rurika, and I ask her more about magic.
What kind of magic exists, and what spells different elements have.

Chris tells me she spends her days off in the reference room of the guild or in the library reading books about magic, and books about fairy-tales and myths.
And she’s always studying things like how to take monsters apart, what parts we need to take to prove we took them down, and what materials can become items too.

And when Rurika wakes up, it’s my turn to rest.

I lay down on a sheet, close my eyes, and chant status open.

NEW

(Spatial Magic Lv1) / (Parallel Thinking Lv1) / (Natural Recovery Boost Lv1)

I use three skill points to learn (Spatial Magic Lv1), (Parallel Thinking Lv1), and (Natural Recovery Boost Lv1).

That leaves me with two.

The first thing that happens when I learn Spatial Magic is that now I can use Storage Magic.
Its proficiency increases by putting things in this spatial storage, and it’s basically the magic version of an item bag.

Since my level is so low, I have very limited space.
If I go over the capacity of my level, I’ll be constantly spending MP to maintain it, and apparently what I stored jumps out when my MP runs out.

Proficiency doesn’t just increase when I store things, just having something here at all times increases it too.

I can only store inorganic material, so that rules out living beings.
Things that degrade over time degrade at about the same speed too, due to my low level.

Parallel Thinking allows me to think about more than one thing at a time.
I was thinking about how I could use Presence Detection while sleeping here, and figured Parallel Thinking should do the trick.

Natural Recovery Boost is good to speed up the recovery of HP, MP, and SP.
The HP part accelerates natural healing abilities, the MP part makes it easier to recover MP spent using magic, and the SP part hastens the recovery of SP spent using things like skills.

In the end, I think I can use Presence Detection while sleeping, thanks to Parallel thinking.
I sort of get a faint feeling that it’s active, but since nothing happens while the two girls are keeping watch, I can’t say for sure that it works.
