Lonely Attack on the Different World Chapter 5

Part 5 – I don't want to go to a town that needs a lot of clubs.

Day 5 Cave

　One day, I met Mr. gob in the forest filled with mushrooms.

　I beat him to death.

　No, I was really just walking through the forest in search of food.

　Mushroom, mushroom, mushroom, mushroom, gob, mushroom, mushroom, mushroom, mushroom, gob, gob, mushroom, mushroom, gob, mushroom, mushroom, mushroom, mushroom, mushroom, gob, mushroom, mushroom, gob, gob, gob, Mushroom, mushroom, mushroom, mushroom, mushroom, gob, gob, mushroom, gob, mushroom, gob, mushroom, mushroom, gob, mushroom, mushroom, mushroom, mushroom, mushroom, mushroom, mushroom, mushroom, gob, gob, gob, Gob, gob.

{ not the reference, but its a classic meme}

　Eh ~! I can only eat the mushrooms after using appraisal, there's also some medicinal herbs I found. Then, gob, gob, gob. No, I can't eat gob.

　There's rabbit, which is a feast, but I don't have any ranged weapons or magic. So I start with presence blocking, activate concealment, quietly approach and pounce.

　Presence Block and Concealment. Aren't I using these skills more than the skills that I got from god? Did I even need to go to the white room? Why did God even need to be there? Next time I see him, I'll sit down and ask him questions for an hour.

　”Mushrooms, mushrooms, ah, gob”
　”Oh!”

{pretty sure this is dying goblin sounds}

　Somehow, I got used to fighting Goblins. What should you do if you feel familiar? It's time for eradication.

　They are dull and can't notice me when I'm using presence blocking and concealment.

　And if I start the fight with a surprise attack, they can't react immediately.

　And be sure to take their club.

　In short; surprise attack, then it's dead. Repeat.

　If you stop your feet or delay, you'll be hit. They have high power and defense, but no speed or intelligence.

　Repeated fights, repeated collection of mushrooms, sometimes herbs, rarely rabbits. What is this life I'm living?

　There aren't many goblins around the cave, but their levels are around 10-15. I can't kill a Lv 15 in a single blow yet.
　There a lot more in the forest, but they're small fish around Lv10. There's also mushrooms, but I don't eat them.

　Occasionally I hear the sound of a bird above my head, it'd be nice to eat some yakitori.

　I don't have any long range attacks, but when looking up I spotted some edible nuts.

　These contacts are great; they can help me see in the dark, see things that are far away, or even see small things. It's important to have good eyesight.

　If this was released in the original world, I would have made a contact debut. Will my eyes not heal?

　I climb up the tree, then I pick some nuts and put them in my mouth. They're sweet, there's a bit of a sour taste, but it's still sweet.

　I'm not usually a fan of candy or sweets. But since I haven't eaten any candy since coming to this world, the nuts are delicous and a bit nostalgic.

　Let's gather as much as possible, as each one is small it won't be a big amount. I don't want my belly to swell.

{ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yakitori grilled chicken.
木の実=nut/fruit/berry= im pretty sure author is referring to berry like nuts.
コンタクトデビュ = Kontakutodebyū = contact debut. so i guess this is a thing people do.}

　After that, theres mushroom, gob, mushroom, mushroom, mushroom, mushroom, gob, gob, mushroom, mushroom, gob……that's enough! There are some children crying…..wait, that's just me.

・

　Lv doesn't go up.

　There are a lot of clubs in the item bag, can I sell these in a nearby town? Though I don't want to go to a town that needs such a large amount of clubs.

　I can't concentrate anymore. In such a state I might hesitate or make a mistake, if I'm hit in the heat with a club I'd surely die.

　I can use movement, but if I were to lose concentration while attacking and stumble and be hit over the head with a club. Bam….I'm dead.

　”I'm gonna go home”

　I'm proceeding back the way I came…..mushrooms, mushrooms, mushrooms, mushrooms, gob, mushrooms, that's enough…..let's make a dish with mushrooms! Though I only have salt….

　I feel relaxed when I get home, is it an affect of Hikikomori? Will I gradually stop going outside? It depends on if there's delivery-service, I don't have any books with me.

　In most light novels, it's better to use up all of your magic power. It's a standard cliche. But it's also good for magic practice.

　I concentrate my magical power and raise the temperature of the mushroom.

　"The number of dry mushrooms has increased, so next is earth magic. Let's try grilling on a flat-stone."

{岩盤焼き行 = Ganban-yaki gyō= bedrock grilling, }

　Let's also work on improving this cave with earth magic. Once I've exhausted my magic power I'll go to sleep.

　It feels good to fall asleep after exhausting my magic, and I've been sleeping well lately.

　I'm in bed now, thinking about why I was called in this world.

　Summoned to the forest where there are only mushrooms and goblins.

　Was I summoned from my world in order to protect this world from mushrooms and gobs?

　Will my different world life end with mushrooms and gobs?

　Ahhh, I'm gonna end up seeing mushrooms and gobs in my dreams. Oh well, let's sleep.

　A forest should be a treasure trove of ingredients, why is it limited to mushrooms? Is there something wrong with the vegetation? Is it such a forest?
　Where am I going to find other foods? I mean, what kind of foods should there be in a forest?

　Up in the trees there were nuts, so maybe theres something to be found on the ground? Underground? There might be potatoes, but I won't be able to find them if I just blindly dig.

　It may be necessary to move to a new home, but I already feel attached to this place.

　But there's a lot of mushrooms near here.

　It's annoying though, I already have enough mushrooms to last me a while.

　I've even developed a habit of picking them up while walking.

　Hikikomori, it's all right. I'm close to being a neet. I'm also a loner.

TL note: minor spoiler, highlight the words in the black box to see

mc meets other classmates before too long, so its not gonna be a solo kinda novel and it should pick up in pace. just sayin in case you feel like its dragging along with mushrooms and gobs
