"Really, you did do some unreasonable things."
"excuse me"
When I woke up and realized this was not my home, Mr. Zeol cursed me.
"I apologized instinctively, thanks to which I was able to grasp the situation, but I thought it would be fine as long as you said you did a good job."
"Miguel and the others are safe, but your left eye is useless."
"is that so"
Half of my face was still bandaged and the pain was unbearable.
If you are blind in your left eye, you will have a large blind spot and be unable to grasp distances.
If I were an adventurer, I might be able to continue my activities as an adventurer even if I lost my sight in one eye, but I am worried about whether I can continue my activities as an adventurer. Because I don't have much combat experience.
"Can I be an adventurer?"
"There are also one-eyed adventurers, but to be honest, they are all very strong."
"It's okay, I'll train you" is what I expected, but from Zeol's point of view, I don't think he offers her any hope of escapism.
"If you get to my age, you can choose a different job and start over. There is no reason to stick to being an adventurer."
"Aren't you willing to give up?"
"Uh why?"
"How many years do you think I have been an adventurer? How many adventurers do you think I have seen? Can you give up your dream so easily?"
"Well"
The vision in my remaining right eye was distorted by spilled tears.
After a tragic death in his previous life and rebirth, he realized in this life that Catman's petite body was not suitable for him, but he still could not give up his dream of becoming an adventurer.
"If you can't give up, chase it and start over."
"Yes"
"But you should rest now and heal your body first. Everything starts from here."
"I see"
"Ah, if you strengthen your physical strength until you sleep, your wounds will heal faster."
Mr. Zeol tapped me lightly on the shoulder and left the room.
"Even though I thought I'd been asleep for a long time, sleep hit me immediately."
Before falling asleep, magic power spreads throughout the blood vessels throughout the body.
Somehow I feel like the pain from the cuts and bruises has gone away.
The room I slept in was the village chief's house.
The next time you wake up, the mother of this world bursts into tears.
"I usually thought he was not very affectionate, but now it seems that he is not very good at expressing emotions."
"Sorry for worrying you"
"Indeed. If Nyango dies, I will send Miguel, the idiot, to another world."
"No, it's fine if you show emotion, but I'm nervous in front of Miguel's grandfather, the village chief, and him, so please stop."
"Hua Wuming, thank you for saving Miguel. I heard Mr. Zeol say that if you didn't fight, the door of the charcoal-burning hut would be broken open and the three of us would not be rescued. Thank you very much." "
"No, I'm crazy too"
"I caused such serious harm trying to help Miguel. There's nothing I can do to make up for something like this, but if you don't mind, why don't you work at my house? If you can help sir, I can help you too."
If the village chief hires me, my life will not be any difficult, but I can't shake my head because I want to see more of the world outside the village.
"Let me think about it"
"I see, I'm not saying you can't force it, but think about it. Miguel, thank you too."
Miguel, standing next to the village chief, had a complicated expression.
"Honestly, I'm glad their lives were saved, but they probably didn't like it because I was the one saving them."
"You did a great job. Grandpa said he would give you a job that you can even do with one of your eyes, so I'm very grateful ouch!"
"You idiot! How can you talk to the benefactor who saved your life! I will make Zeor sever ties with you and drive you out of the village!"
After the village chief put down his fist, Miguel reluctantly thanked me.
Mr. Zeol's offer of help was tempting, but if I was going to work at the mayor's house, I would have to see Miguel every day, so I politely declined after cleaning the floors.
Due to the use of physical strengthening magic, the wound healed faster than expected, but the eyesight was not restored.
The kobold's claws carved three rough marks.
If my stocky brother had similar wounds, he would probably fight to the death against the powerful monster and be awed, but as a cat person, I would assume he just barely escaped with his life. His handsome face and proud hair were completely ruined.
In the end, I got flour from the village chief, potatoes from Dulles' parents, honey from Kimble's parents, and returned to normal life.
My father kept complaining about why the village chief didn't hire him, so I told him that I would no longer catch wood rats and fish, and he became quiet.
Although I have returned to a normal life, it is still very inconvenient to not be able to see with my left eye.
I was completely used to catching forest mice, but I failed many times because I couldn't master the perspective.
Because my field of vision was narrowed, I had to be more careful when entering the mountains. Although it was not traumatic, the memory of being attacked by the kobolds made my body tense.
"I guess I'll have to get used to this place."
On the other hand, some people are not affected by the left eye.
The steps are trained to activate according to the position of the foot, so there is no problem.
The summation doesn't work too well since I can't sense distance, but I can aim so it should be fine.
The accuracy of the shield deployment position is loosened, but the strength remains unchanged and the armor can be equipped without problems.
Now that I think about it, if I had been able to release my armor and deploy my shield when I was hit by a kobold, maybe I wouldn't have gone blind.
He was able to immediately deploy his shield when Kimble threw a rock at him, but he was so focused on attacking the kobolds clawing at the door that he couldn't react.
While improving the accuracy and casting speed of the magic I've learned so far, I'm starting to think I want to learn new magic.
"This is detection magic."
What I feel when working with celestial magic is a sensory connection with the object I create.
For example, if you use a spear to stab a fish, with an ordinary gun, you will feel the feeling of holding the gun, but if it is a natural gun, you will feel the feeling of the tip of the gun. Spears were stabbed.
I feel no heat, cold or pain, but it feels like I'm touching it directly.
I was wondering if I could use this property to create a magic that explores conditions in unseen places.
Specific methods are still being considered, but for example, arranging small granular objects at narrow intervals and moving them to explore the object's shape by touch, or creating thin films and detecting sound through vibrations.
Ultimately, we hope to be able to capture images, compensate for the left eye's blind spot, and use sound detection to survey enemies.
I hope to be able to combine physical strengthening magic with attribute magic, and I'm also considering partial strengthening.
However, using it together with attribute magic will also affect the efficiency of absorbing magic essence into the body, so it is necessary to increase the magic power that can be used.
When I registered with the Adventurer's Guild in Ibro, it was determined that my magic index was 32, about a quarter of that of an average adult male.
For more than half a year since then, she has been practicing magic every day, and her magic index should have improved. However, there is no guild in Azka Village, and there are no magic tools to judge.
I have a desire to go to Ichiro City to measure things, but if I don’t grow up as I imagined, I feel that my desire to become an adventurer will be in vain.
Most importantly, when I left the lair, I couldn't get close to Horacio, whose magic index was nearly 15 times mine.
"Horacio, I want to know if you've done your best."
According to Mr. Zeol, the Knight Training School seems to have a screening exam every year.
Next spring will be the first big reshuffle, and it looks like they will have to complete three years of training before they can go home.
If they return by then, their path to knighthood will be cut off, and only a quarter of them will be able to become apprentice knights after completing five years of training and be officially appointed as apprentice knights. knight. It seems like less than one-tenth of the time has been completed.
"However, even if the path to becoming a knight is cut off, the path to becoming a professional soldier still exists."
The difference between knights and professional soldiers is whether they are allowed to ride horses.
"Well, I don't want to live the life of a nouveau riche, nor do I want to experience the serious world of knights."
"I just want to enjoy the carefree life of an adventurer."
"To do this, you only need to practice taking steps while using physical enhancement!"
No one around me will know it, but today I will continue on the path of an adventurer who uses magic.
