《I'm clueless in another world.》Chapter 12
Advertisement
3 days had passed since we met the beastmens.
Right now we were walking on the footpath, even though winding, it remained the exact same width. In the distance, I could see a lone human chased after a goblin that snatched a big khaki bag from the man.
With a big crossbow; big enough until I had to use both of my hand to keep it steady. I closed one of my eye, aiming at the goblin and with a simple movement from my finger, the bolt flew, hitting the goblin right in the middle of its chest.
"Damn, you're a fast learner but a real man should do it with their own muscle." Said Rein, the lion man.
Speaking of which, maybe because it was an emergency or we were in a desperate situation, either way, the language of this world wasn't that hard. A single sentence might be an easy one, but if it was a full paragraph or a long sentence, I had to think for a few seconds to understand it.
Natsuna on the other hand, already fluently spoke this world language. Well, she wasn't that fluent as our accent kinda getting in the way.
Likewise, what they taught to us was what they called 'Common' language. A language that everyone and what they meant by 'everyone' was every humanoid race; A few other languages were: Beast, Elvish, Dwarvish, Infernal and a dozen more.
Anyway, as I walked and pulled the bolt away from the goblin's chest, a ghostly voice and a bell notified me that I gained another level.
"Tsukasa, I levelled up." Natsuna said from behind me.
Seemed like this time both of us were levelled up at the same time huh. Well, this was a good chance to count it down.
"Already? As I expected from the crystal.'" Wakanga said as he rubbed his chin and looking at me with an eye full of curiosity.
In this world, there were four types of sentient things. At first, Wakanga explanation was felt like a boring mathematics teacher; either way, quoting Wakanga simple words.

The first one was a 'holed bag'. Sentient being in this category couldn't absorb any amount of mana or life force even though they managed to kill a creature. It still possible for them to manually train their Body or Combat skill, but the training was monstrous.
Second, it was a 'leather bottle'. A Sentient being in this category only absorbed a small amount of mana, it varied but in his experience, from level 1 to level 2 one needed to kill 3000 slimes or 300 orcs. And just as a leather bottle, this type couldn't open, see and manage their status. In a sense, the one in this category was the same as us, but they needed to manually learn their magic, body, combat and mastery.
Third, it was a 'Crystal glass'. Basically, just like a crystal glass, the one in this category could absorb mana far more than the second type, they could see and manage their status, instantly learn the skill, and instantly gained the bonus every time they levelled up; The amount of mana they could absorb was varied, depended on each individual. Either way, this was a very rare category, it wasn't a cheat level skill but they did have a great advantage.
Anyway, the lone man was walking toward us with a ragged breath. From his appearance he didn't seem to look like an adventurer, he had a plump body, beer belly, wore a refine green tunic, long khaki pants with a single dagger on his belt, and brown leather boots.
With sweats falling from his oily face, he took his bag out of the goblin back, checking its content before he breathed a sigh of relief, saying a word of gratitude and permitted himself.
But...
"Oi, oi! Wait a minute! Do you think a 'thank you' will be enough? You're a travelling merchant, right? We're just saving your whole lot of inventory, aren't we?" Said Eku.
This... this is what they called a taking someone else lunch money, right?!

I personally didn't mind if he didn't give me anything though. I meant it was an easy one.
Just as I wanted to open my mouth, Wakanga used his stick to close my jaw. "This one doesn't know where doth thou come from and what thy parent teach thou, but in our continent, this isn't how we do the business, especially with the merchant."
Just as Wakanga finished his words, he and Rein walked forward, and now the three beastmen were circling the merchant, forcing him to give some money to them.
While I was wondering where Wakanga had that kind of confident to say that sentence, even though they didn't give anything to us... well, they agreed to become our guide and went back to the city with us, so I guessed that was the way they paid their favour.
Anyway, we might be needed some money, so I guessed this was ok.
And it seemed they would take some time to talk to the merchant.
"Let's get some rest." I said to Natsuna.
She silently nodded. We moved to the edge, slowly sat and opened our status screen.
At first, I wanted to take shooting and another random one, but considering the bonuses from Lvl 2, I guessed it would be a better decision to raise one of my current skill into Lvl 2.

A few minutes later, they walked bag with a small coin purse on Eku's hand.
"For you, it's 20 copper." He said as he threw the coin purse to me.
Even though he said it was 20 copper, it wasn't like I knew how much I could buy with 20 coppers.
"Don't give me that look, it should be enough for two days stay in a cheap inn." Said Eku. "Anyway, Mr Merchant will be joining us, he'll give another one after we arrived at the town."
