Level Up Just By Eating

Translated by kuronochan

“Well then, let’s go!”

Laura made a fist and raised it high.

She started walking with high spirits.

I sent her off silently.

And after five minutes.

“Kehmaaaa???????????????”

The useless goddess Laura returned while crying.

“I don’t know the waaaaaayy?????????.

Which direction should I gooooooo?????????????”

“You walked with that confidence although you don’t know the way?!!”

“It can’t be helped right!

I’m in high spirits after all!!!”

It cannot be helped if she is in high spirits.

“Wait right there.”

I said that and kicked the ground jumping up high.

I quickly exceeded the tall trees and floated in the air.

The scenery from high above has an extremely nice view.

The wind strokes my cheeks.

After looking at the town that is a little far away, I suddenly felt something and looked to the sky.

I saw a Sea Serpent-like creature between the clouds.

A rainbow-colored mane and a milky shining body.

Its size is big enough for seven to eight people to ride.

It is a scale that I could only be moved seeing.

(It’s a sea serpent in the sky, so maybe I should call it Sky Serpent?)

(I mean, this world, it’s really vast)

While thinking of that, I slowly descended andーーlanded on the ground.

“Yosh, let’s go.”

“Uu!......, un......”

Laura followed me from behind and slowly took my right hand.

Her hand was unexpectedly soft and my heart skipped.

“Wh-What is it. So suddenly.”

“Uhh, uhm......uhh. Thank you............”

“A!......after all this time?”

“Un......”

With a weird air around, the useless goddess and I started walking to leave the forest.

It took us about two to three days, so I leveled up on the way because of eating a lot of things.

We left the forest after this and that happened.

We came out to a vast grassland.

After climbing a gentle slope, a town surrounded by walls is there.

I advanced together with Laura.

The monsters in the grasslands are mostly small.

Either be it a rabbit or a boar, they have sizes that are not strange to see in Earth.

However, the rabbits have horns, and the hide of the boar is green that can camouflage itself within the grass, so I really think it’s a different world.

Also, the fishes, they are floating.

Slightly large Guppy-like fishes were floating in a school.

It is really a different world1.

“Do they have skills or something? The monsters around here.”

“From how it looks............they don’t.”

“What about their status?”

“It’s like, the fish is level 2, the Horned Rabbit is level 7, and finally level 20 with the Grassland Wild Boar.”

“It means that the boars are at the same level of rookie adventurers huh.”

“It means that they’re grassland monsters nearby towns.”

I continued to walk casually.

” ” ” ○×△＄■っ!!! ” ” ”

The monsters reacted sharply and ran away like hares.

They’re weak but smart.

◆

And with this and that, we went to the town.

But, however, the Guard-san in front of the gates called us to a stop.

“Hey Nii-chan2 , show me your proof of identity if you’re going to pass.”

“Is it needed?”

“Well, yeah of course.”

“Well, that sucks......” f𝗿𝗲e𝒘e𝚋ｎ૦𝘃𝙚𝑙.com

“Leave it to me.”

Laura quickly stepped forward seeing me troubled.

This confidence of hers, should I believe that she has something in mind?

Something like, she knows someone inside the town.

“Jou-chan3has one? Proof of identity.”

“Of course!”

Laura placed her hand on her huge breasts and did a strange pose.

“I am the Goddess of Wisdom, Laura Gine Amara!

The Goddess worshiped by the Amara Church!

This posture and great divinity prove my identity right?!!”

That expression of hers.

It was almost the sound effects ‘Doyaaa4......’, would be played by a full orchestra.

Although, I could only see her as a tsunami-like idiot.

However, I have stayed in this world only for a while.

There is the possibility that it would look differently from the people living in this world.............

Or not.

The Guard-san, he looked at Laura with eyes that one will use when they look at the craziest idiot in history.

And after doing that, he looked at me and said while he puts a hand on my shoulder.

“Do your best alright......”

He’s a good person.

“Anyways......if you do not have proof of identity, go enter the town first and register at the Adventurer’s Guild.”

“Is that alright?”

“It’ll only be trouble if you become thieves or bandits after I chase you off here.”

The Guard-san took out a vial.

A pink-colored liquid like strawberry milk is inside.

“What’s this?! Looks delicious!!!”

Laura stole the vial from me and started drinking it.

“That thing, what was it?”

“It’s milk mixed with Poison Strawberry.”

“BUFUOHO!!!” ←Laura

Laura shouts with teary eyes after spitting it out.

“Eh! Hey! Poison??? What?! You mean poison poison?!!”

“After a while after drinking it, you’ll have an upset stomach, and die after a night you know?”

“Going to dieeee?!! I’m going to dieeee?!!”

“That is quite some dangerous thing you let her drink.”

“Just by having unknown identities means that those guys are that dangerous.”

“I see.”

“Whyyy are you so caaaalm!!! Kehma you idioooott!!! Oniiii5!!!”

I completely ignored Laura and asked the Guard-san.

“But, if we finish registering at the Adventurer’s Guild, you’ll give us the antidote right?”

The Guard-san widened his eyes as if he’s surprised.

“Kid, you’re quite sharp.”

“If you’re planning on killing using slow-acting poison, you won’t say that its poison after all.”

In that meaning, it is even doubtful whether people would really die from it.

It’s like the old ladies from Osaka saying “Here’s your change of 3 million yen.”.

“Even so, being calm although you comrade drank a poison that she might die from, that’s great.

After all, people like Adventurers must always stay calm.”

“Anyways, if there’s a need to drink it, please give me mine.”

“Alright.”

I received the vial and drank it.

Its taste is just exactly that of a strawberry juice.

It is mellow, sweet and refreshing through the throat.

Tererettete?.

I leveled up.

I feel like I gained a new skill.

(This feeling, I understand it after leveling up so much)

I asked Laura to take a look.

I shouted that out inside but it was not like an answer would return.

I became mellow.
