Lonely Attack on the Different World Chapter 6

Will I be thrown off when I'm driven to the edge of a cliff

Day 6 Cave

　For the time being, let's do some house cleaning. well…it's a cave.

　I'm also gonna do some weapon maintenance. Well, it's a wooden stick, so I just need to polish it.

　For now, let's do some armor maintenance. I say that, but it's really just laundry, I only have the set of plain clothes.

　Now it's time for a late breakfast.

　Ah, my tension isn't going up.

　Mushroom saute every day.

　Killing gobs every day.

　Seeing mushrooms and gobs in my dreams. Is this love? No, that's wrong.

　My Lv hasn't increased since I became Lv 3. It's probably due to poor dexterity and Kibo no bo, both had the effect of Lv rising slower. There is no doubt about it.

　If you can't understand and master your skills, then they will be useless and distracting. That's why there should be some benefit to these abilities.

　Poor dexterity. On one hand you can do anything at an acceptable level, but on the other hand you can't easily concentrate on one thing. As a result, it will not be successful. That's what it means. Still, if I can do anything well, it'll easy to aquire skills. Well, it also means those skills won't be easy to level up.

{ the japanese word has deeper meaning than just poor dexterity, mc expands on it}

　The problem is that person, Kibo no Bo,

　1. Doll. A puppet. Deku.
2. Useless person. People who don't listen. Someone who is a good-for-nothing. Also, the word used to scold such a person.

{ kibo no bo or kibun nobo or Dekunobō, author is basically defining the term like in a dictionary. mangasushi translates it as “uselessness” or “unproductiveness”, but I think the author wants there to be more depth to the term, because god mentions how the skills aren't “bad”. ty for coming to my ted-talk}

　No, no matter how you think about it, it's a bad status. I have no choice but to raise the Lv of my appraisal in order to see the effects….and hope that Kibo no bo doesnt Lv up.

　There shouldn't be any problem with Ho-Ren-So, [Improved reporting, communication and consultation]. I…..I don't need it though. I'm alone (botchi).

　It's no use thinking about things that I don't understand. A thing I do understand, is that [Health] and [Gymnastics] are quite useful right now. I head out to go hunting after I finish my radio calisthenics.

　There's still no gob along the river? Don't they need to drink water? Before I knew it, I got a [Map] skill that will record the places I've been to, all I need to do is just walk around.

　First of all, for safety reasons, I make sure to check out both upstream and downstream in relation to the cave.

{mc has the map skill, so I assume hes mapping the place, tho author doesn't explicitly say so}

　Although I live by the river, I don't have any fishing rods or nets. So i'm grudgingly eating some mushrooms while watching the delicious fish.

　It's a hassle to go upstream and risk running into my classmates. I don't think there's anything good about meeting them. There seems to be many bad things.

　They're in the middle of a quarrel and some of them can't fight. It's just annoying. I have skills, but they may have some troublesome skills too. It'll be bad if one of them ends up like a thug from a V-cinema movie who goes crazy when he gets a gun.

{ which is japanese straight to vhs movies, kinda cheesy, aimed at men, gangster/action movies, the golden age had more classics similar to stuff like “low-budget+good-story=film festival winner” kinda stuff}

　Although I'm just Lv3, my status is going up, the movement of my body is different than it was in the previous world. The movement skill is also working great. I'm thinking about all these random things, but at the same time I'm also exploring the forest while killing the gobs that I occasionally meet.

　However, what if I was summoned to a different world filled with swords and magic, and killed? …….Tuesday suspense? Be careful to not get cornered by the cliffs, and I might get thrown over if I get chased to the top of a cliff. If you don't confess to something, it's just circumstantial evidence, right? After all, the cliff might be dangerous.

{ wiki-link-tuesday-suspense it's “tuesday suspense theater”, and its referencing murder mysteries/detective shows and cliffhangers(or possibly being thrown off a cliff).}

　Hmmm, there's a bunch of mushrooms. Atleast appraisal is showing me that there's many different varieties. HP recovery and MP recovery, there are mushrooms with various effects, but the amount recovered doesn't seem to be very high. Well, it'd be nice to be able to shoot a fireball.

{idk if this last sentence is right, author might be referencing something}

　Is this a quirk of being in another world? The fact that poisonous mushrooms also have antidote effects? Ordinarily, if you can't appraise it, no one would be willing to eat this poisonous mushroom when they're already poisoned.

{poisoned? eat this mushroom and get cured+food sickness}

　It's still a little early, but let's go home. I don't feel like my tension has risen, my Lv didn't rise either. I don't think I'd be angry if I end up living a sage life. Let's go home.

　Ah, there's no lightning magic, flame magic, magical sword, pretty girl companion, or any elements that would raise my tension. I don't think I've ever read a different-world-transfer story with so little tension….

　Usually, it would start out with a beautiful goddess! And you're summoned by a princess! Someone that was summoned should have gotten a cheat skill, it's impossible to overlook an entire class. Especially one filled with beautiful girls.

　It's evening time.

　My MP is full so I'm gonna practice home improvement… and mushroom dishes. What a homely different-world life. It's okay, this might be a new genre of just living life in a different-world.

{ tension, mental tension, anxiety, caused by things/situations/people that are out of your control. used by mc when he's talking about story developments and how ordinary his life is going.}

　Ah, no no no, I'm talking to myself too much, and I've started to become both the boke and tsukommi. Theyre both blurring together. If this is the case, I'll just be a one-person tsukommi.

　”I won't say anything like “this is a cheat!?”…..”

　I look at my status while blurring slightly….

{ straight man + wise guy, so mc makes a dumb joke and then corrects himself in a funny kinda way. and theres some wordplay about how the line between boke+tsukkomi is blury/mixing. the first 3 lines of this chapter are examples of boke/tsukkomi}

　Is earth magic going up because I've been living in a cave?

　Still, I won't give up now, this is just the beginning. If I give up, the game will be over. I wont give up until the very end. ….It's over.

　If I were to talk about this skill, many people would send melons. It'll be a good harvest.

　Gobs are becoming a part of my everyday life, I just can't avoid running into them.

　Because of that, my collection of clubs is accumulating. Is there somewhere I can trade these for fish?

　Ah, I want to eat fish. Desu.

　　　　　　　 End of day 6

{ im pretty sure this “dont give up until the game is over” is a reference to slam dunk}
{japanese people send melons and other fruit as gifts for special events, i think mc brings it up because his earth magic helped make his home and melons would be a housewarming gift}

{ DESU DESU}
