Episode 35 – Unbelievable
After helping the
three, I started walking towards the mountains again.
I was surprised when
the children suddenly thanked me. After all, innocent children can see that we
are not a threat. It was wonderful that
they could say thank you even at that age.
The adult woman was
silent and wary of me the whole time. I wonder if adults let their experience
get in the way of lumping me in with all the other demons out there. That's
right. There are good people and bad people in the world. I want you to be
open-minded. Judging from the woman's reaction, it might be better to stay away
from human habitats. I'll be careful. I should not cause any trouble by
interfering.
On my way to the
mountains, I found an old mansion. I wondered why it was in such a place.
It
was quite a large mansion. The trees were overgrown and the garden was
overgrown with weeds. It was completely neglected. There was no way to get
here, no roads, nothing. Just to be safe, I took a look around the mansion, but
there was no sign of anything coming or going. It looks like it's been
abandoned, and it shouldn't be a problem for me to get in.
I really need a brush
to brush my metal body, hopefully it’s in this mansion. I would really like to
get a new one though. To make up for my shortcomings. The only drawback of my
metal body is that it makes a cacophony of noise when I rub my body together.
There is nothing I can do about this.
Now, let's go in to
search the house. I put my hand on the gate and gave a push. The gate opened,
making a squeaky sound due to its rustiness. Gashan! The gate came off and fell down. ・・・・・・
It’s old, so it can’t be helped.
Lets go inside and start exploring! I made my way through the grass to the
front door. I put my hand on the doorknob and tried to open it, but it wouldn't
open. I wonder if it's locked. With a cracking sound, the doorknob fell off.
I'm sorry. Well, it's fortunate
that no one lives in the house. Good, good. There's nothing I can do about what
I've done. I can't change the past. The only thing I can change is the future.
Then there's nothing to do but look forward and move on!
A cold wind blew from inside the
door.
Hmm? I'm a little creeped out.
It's a metal body, but I didn't expect it to give me the creeps. I felt a chill
run through me, or something. Is it my imagination?
{Log: Golem took 0 damage from
Ghost}
!!!? What! It wasn't just my
imagination!
My senses were normal.
And It's the first time I've
taken damage in this world! No, but it's zero damage, so there's no damage?
What does that mean?
{Log: Due to the effects of
[Enlightenment], the state of agitation has been resolved}
Could it be that the
voices of the world have gotten it wrong? Pfft. The voices of the world can be
wrong, too, can't they? But I guess it can't be helped. Everyone makes
mistakes. Even the voices of the world make mistakes once in a while. Don't
worry about it, don't worry about it. Pfft.
{Log: My friendship
with the Voice of the World has dropped by 1}
Hoy? What the heck, my
friendship level has dropped. How can it go down? ・・・・・・. I'm not sure if it was a bad idea to
laugh a little. I'm sure you'll be happy to hear that. I'm sorry! The voice of
the world. I was just messing with you! Don't worry about the fact that it's
true!
{Log: My friendship
with the voice of the world has dropped by 1}
Oh no, it's gone down
again. What the heck.
{Log: Your friendship
with the voice of the world has dropped below the specified value}
{You have lost the
title "Friend of the Voice"}.
{You have lost the
skill [Interpretation] due to the loss of the title [Friend of the Voice].
Yes? What? Really?
That's not true right? Let's take a look at the status just in case.

NO WAY!? The [Voice
Tomodachi] and [Interpreter] are really gone.
Can you even lose
titles? Is that the case for all titles, or just the Tomodachi series? If I
lose the title "Enlightened One", the skill "Awakening"
will also disappear and I'll be stuck again? That's not good. That would be
very bad. It would be hard if I had to meditate silently again!
{Log: The effects of
the【Enlightened One】has resolved my
agitated state}
I’m done.
I've lost the skill
[Interpreter] that has been helping me so much. From now on, I won't be able to
understand what they are saying. I can't even understand the voices of
mermaids, beastmen, and monsters anymore. It was one of the few effective
skills I had. What a mess.
{Log: The grief state
has been resolved due to the effects of [Enlightened One].
{Log: The golem has
taken 0 damage from the ghost}
Hmmm, there's so much I
don't know about this world. I might as well do some serious research. However,
since I can't read, I can't read books or stone monuments. My interpreter is
gone, so I can't even have a conversation. I'm at a loss when it comes to researching.
Damn it. I seem to have lost something really important. It's only when you
lose something that you realize how much you appreciate it.
Fortunately, I know how
to get the title "Voice Friend". If I have a friendship level of 5, I
should be able to get it. On the other hand, I also found out that if my
friendship level drops below 5, I will be stripped of my "Voice
Friend" title.
I guess I should
consider it a good thing that I know this now, when I'm not in a dire
situation.
That's right. If my friendship
level has decreased, I’ll just increase it! If you have a fight, you have to
make up for it. I will not give up. I am the one who will not give up! I'm the
one who won't give up! I'm sure I'll get a friend with a voice again! No, I
want to be your friend! If I can ask questions to the voices of the world, it
will be easier for me to understand a lot of things about this world! More than
before! The time to do it more beautifully than when I first came is surely
now.
{Log: Golem took 0
damage from Ghost}
This is the time. I'll
think about it more calmly.
I'd like to believe
that the enlightened thing will not disappear, even if it is enhanced, because
it is activated regularly. I'm sure it's a point system, I'm sure. Or it should
not be a point system. If it were a point system, the title "enlightened
one" would have disappeared from my mind a long time ago.
When you think about
it, the "things" series of titles about yourself, such as
"enlightened things" and "unchanging things," may never
change once you acquire them. Maybe the "unchanging things" are
having an effect on you.
However, if that guess
is correct, there is one very unfortunate thing. The title [Agitated Things]
cannot be removed. And I really don't need the skill [Become Stupid].
Damn it. But still, the
fact that the [Interpreter] disappeared is really annoying. It's all because of
the ghosts and whatnot that attacked me.
{Log: Golem took 0
damage from Ghost}
It seems that Ghost has
been attacking me endlessly, taking advantage of the fact that I haven't fought
back. Ghost, stop it you're gonna crush me!
Thank you for the chapter)
