Chapter 4: Yuuji Changing Jobs from “Rich Person” to “Magician of the Forest”.
Part 4 Bulletin Board Yuuji, Reporting Encounter with the Adventurer and Receiving Orders
【NEET】I finally came out after 10 years, but my home kinda went into another world Part 8【Hibernation】[1]
1 : Anonymous MEAT
This is the thread to enjoy the reports, images and videos of another world that「Yuuji」 has uploaded.
Is it really another world? How did he fabricate it? This is the thread to verify this.
The next thread will be set up after this thread reaches >>950!
659: Anonymous NEET
But you know, if the sound isn’t there then so be it
Can you enjoy a subt.i.tled film or foreign drama?
660: Anonymous NEET
I’m confirming with this verification thread
But to say that there is no music or even sound effect in the film is...
661: I Love Movies NEET
Of course you can enjoy it
Since there are silent films after all
Chaplin can even be considered a famous person
662: Anonymous NEET
>>661
Really an enthusiast
663: Anonymous NEET
>>661
It’s not like I don’t understand it, but I think it’s a minority
I have seen the silent version of 『Taki no s.h.i.+raito』[2] and musical added version of 『Taki no s.h.i.+raito』, but the one with sound is
A c.r.a.p
Furthermore, the live performance event with sound[3] is
A c.r.a.p
664: I Love Movies NEET
>>663
You said it poorly
What I want to say is that
There are good silent movies
But I think we could be good drinking buddies
665: Anonymous NEET
666: Anonymous NEET
>>663-664
What an enthusiast
Could you do this somewhere else?
Ah, it’s Oo*n[4]
The number of Satan
667: Anonymous ETNE
>>666
Something like ‘no interest in the movie’
I don’t have prolems with it
668: Yuuji
It’s ser’ous ye ‘no, it’s freakin ser’ous[5]
669: Anonymous MEAT
This Hachibe, no, that’s wrong... this Yuuji
What has made you fl.u.s.tered, lad?[6]
670: Anonymous NEET
668-669
This is the second time after half a year.[7]
671: Cool NEET
So, what happened?
672: Yuuji
Adventurers came to my house
There is a large knight-like guy, with something like a mace and a huge s.h.i.+eld
A flashy guy in showy armor and sword
A woman in light armor and bow
673: Anonymous NEET
Ad-ad-adventurers you say...?
674: Anonymous NEET
The image?
Where’s the image??
675: YES Lolita NO Touch
How old is the woman in light armor?
676: Anonymous NEET
There is no image...
677: Cool NEET
Wait everyone, wait
So, what’s wrong?
678: Anonymous ETNE
Do not rush everyone!
Stark-naked standby![8]
679: Anonymous NEET
Then I will wait while naked in necktie![9]
680: Yuuji
I greeted them from behind the gate
I wanted to talk with them so I invited them to the house
But because of the you-know-what mysterious barrier, the adventurers couldn’t come in
Maybe thinking it was magic, the large knight-like guy respectfully called me「Forest Magician-Dono」
681: Anonymous NEET
How should I tsukkomi this, I wonder.
682: Anonymous MEAT
Yeah, even I understand what you mean
Yuuji is like a piece of junk
Well, since Yuuji is a DT magician[10]
It can’t be helped right?
683: Infrastructure Worker
A trio of fully armed people
Although it was their first meeting, Yuuji invited them into the house
Of course he would be killed!
Then with the riches, they go “Huahaha”
Base in the forest, Get![11]
684: Well Informed NEET
>>683
The level of the civilization is unknown
Same with the law and morals
So, it wouldn’t be strange if it turned out just like that
Yuuji, you just narrowly escaped from death
Why did you invite them?
685: Yuuji
Well because they were kinda tired after walking in the forest so I want them to rest for a bit
Also I wanted to know their story
And get friendly with them so they could take me along to town
And the knight-like guy who talked to me looked honest
>>682
I-I-I-I’m not a virgin!
Even Mr. Junior had one round once
If only I could say this
686: Anonymous ETNE
It isn’t just on the carefree level anymore!
I also wanted to say more but
687: Anonymous NEET
>>685
Hiee!?[12]
Maybe Yuuji-san has a suicidal wish?
....Ah, well he is a person who eats unknown mushroom
And went outside without confirming the death of the goblins
688: Cool NEET
Silence! Silence!
The suspect might have his own motives for that
Let’s confirm his motives
1. Why do you want to hear their story?
2. What your motive to go to the city?
This is the story about another world right?
Maybe he wants to take a break? Let’s silently wait for his information in good faith
I you can’t silent then feel free to croak as you like
689: YES Lolita NO Touch
Don’t just carelessly try to die you know, Yuuji!
If you die then who will protect Alice-chan?!
Alice-chan’s life and livelihood depends on you you know?!
Well if Alice-chan’s life and livelihood is protected
As long as there’s another person who can take picture of her
Yuuji can drop dead for all I care.
690: OverwhelminglyDog-Person
That’s true, what about Kotarou then!?
...Ah, even if Yuuji disappeared
Kotarou will probably be alright
Yuuji before you die please teach Alice-chan how to upload her image will ya?
691: Anonymous MEAT
>>689
>>690
You guys are way too cool
Only halfway though
692: Yuuji
>>688
1. I wanted to know information about this world. You guys do too, right?. Also after getting along with them I wanted to ask them to take Alice and me to the town
2. There is possibility that Alice’s family is still alive. This is the main reason.
If I could get along with them then I can also do the same in the city. Since if I want to search for Alice’s family then faster is better.
Also I wanted to secure food.
Depending on the city’s condition I also wanted to move there. It’s not me that I’m concerned with, but there’s only me in the vicinity of Alice...
693: Anonymous NEET
So you do have a reason
But it was still careless
694: Cool NEET
The motive of the crime had been revealed
However there is still much to be talk about concerning the method
Since there is room to take the circ.u.mstances of the suspect into consideration
The guilty verdict will be suspended
695: Well-Informed NEET
>>694
Agreed
696: YES Lolita NO Touch
But it’s a bit too real that it’s frightening...
697: Anonymous NEET
>>696
Don’t worry, since there is no verdict suspension for you
698: Yuuji
...Then how should I do it?
By the way, the adventurers are camping in front of the gate
Is there still time?
699: Anonymous ETNE
Then said that first!
700: Anonymous NEET
Alright I’ve been attacked by sleepiness
*yawn*!
701: Anonymous NEET
Picture!
Pictures!!
Is the woman cute?
It’s often the case that she will be a peerless beauty, right?
702: Camera Ossan
Hey, Yuuji
Do you know the method for dark photography?
703: Anonymous MEAT
Alright, until the adventurer’s got home
Let’s decide what Yuuji should do!
704: Cool NEET
>>703
I agree
However it should follow to Yuuji’s intentions
After all this thread is for this purpose
If it were not interrupted by images or videos that were beyond belief that is
705: Anonymous NEET
>>704
703 is Cool even when not yet believing in the another world thing
706: Yuuji
Than’ ye, than’ ye
I’ll do my best
For Alice sake[13]
Being alone, is very lonesome...
707: Anonymous NEET
>>706
With this course of event, what will it be...
708: Anonymous ETNE
How foolish, there is a fool in here!
709: Anonymous NEET
But the flag is a joke for another person
It’s far from how first cla.s.s flag architects would do things
710: Anonymous NEET
Hey Yuuji has completely reflected on it, you know
711: Cool NEET
Even when the verdict has been suspended
We had already decided, so can you guys move on from this?
Let’s us cut this out
First, confirmed Yuuji’s motive
1. Wanted to find Alice’s family
2. Wanted to secure food (purchase them)
3. Wanted to know information about the city
So,
Are the priorities OK like this?
712: Infrastructure Worker
>>711
I detect a businessman scent from 711
713: Anonymous NEET
Theory : 711-san is actually not a NEET
714: Yuuji
>>711
It is
However, if I have to add more, the food can hold out until summer
I also currently don’t really need the information about the city
So, basically I just want to search for Alice’s family
>>706-710
Sorry... sorry...
715: Well-Informed NEET
Then what’s important right now is only searching for Alice’s family, huh?
Then it will be very simple
716: Anonymous NEET
It’s simple but I think the difficulty level is high
It’s like searching for the parents of a lost child in a city you’re unfamiliar with, right?
Moreover, there is no information and it’s unknown if they’re still alive
I think this is an impossibly hard video game
717: Anonymous ETNE
However!
There might be family register right!?
718: Anonymous MEAT
If there’s is an Adventurer Guild
Then it will just be like the clichéd searching for lost pet
719: Anonymous NEET
>>718
Even if it’s a game, in a world where monsters are swarming at the outside
To still have enough composure to keep a pet is really amazing, I think
Since the pet is usually a monster
720: Well Informed NEET
It hurts that there is no information
The level of civilization is also unknown
There’s a lot of historical precedents where churches or temples store family registries
That reminds me, the religion is also unknown
721: Cool NEET
・Objective: Search for Alice’s Family
・Method: Under consideration
1. Request the adventurers to search
2. Yuuji and Alice search by themselves
Are there still any other suggestion?
722: Anonymous NEET
>>721
It smells like work
I’ll get defeated if I work
723: Anonymous ETNE
It is
It is you know
724: Infrastructure Worker
Even not working is like work in a mood sense.
725: YES Lolita NO Touch
Is Alice-chan’s village totally destroyed?
Since Alice ran away, she doesn’t know right?
There also an option to catch the bandits, right?
But, the bandits who make little girls sad deserve to be annihilated.
726: Cool NEET
・Objective: Search for Alice’s Family
・Method: Under consideration
1. Request the adventurers to search
2. Yuuji and Alice search by themselves
3. Ask information from public security organization or religious inst.i.tution. If possible ask them to search
Anything else?
727: Anonymous MEAT
Everyone, don’t be deceived!
726 is just collecting ideas but didn’t personally contribute any!
728: Well Informed NEET
>>727
It’s surely true
But, isn’t that alright?
Does Alice-chan have any other relatives outside the village?
If she does then they would have also been spared from the attack right? Then there would be high possibility that they’re also searching, right?
729: Infrastructure Worker
>>728
That’s it!
730: Cool NEET
・Objective: Search for Alice’s Family
・Method: Under consideration
1. Request the adventurers to search
2. Yuuji and Alice search by themselves
3. Ask for information at public security organization or religious inst.i.tution. If possible ask them to search
4. Contact Alice’s acquaintances outside the village
Is it like this, I wonder?
For the time being, no.2 is a no
731: Yuuji
I don’t have confidence for no.2
But, if it’s Kotarou then she could pull it off somehow
732: Overwhelmingly Dog-Person
>>731 if it’s Kotarou then she could pull it off somehow
Since she is smart and cute, right!
733: Anonymous NEET
Then it’s either no.3 or no.4, right?
I don’t know if no.1 is trustworthy
734: Well Informed NEET
Although no.3 might have the information, but
It’s uncertain that they would search for the missing family members
Alice’s village is 『Frontier』 and 『Pioneering』 right?
I think there would be a lot of missing people
It doesn’t mean that they wouldn’t search for people from their own village
735: Cool NEET
・Objective: Search for Alice’s Family
・Method: 1. Contact Alice’s acquaintances outside the village
2. In case Alice didn’t have any acquaintance, ask for information at public security organization or religious inst.i.tution
Is it like this?
For now, no.1: How can we contact them?
781: Cool NEET
Then if we decided to request the adventurers to bring him along, what about the reward?
If it’s only in good faith then it will be impossible
782: Anonymous NEET
Come on! It’s your guys forte right?
Things in the house that are valuable in another world
783: Anonymous ETNE
Seasonings like salt, pepper, sugar,
784: Anonymous MEAT
Pepper!
It could even be exchanged for a s.h.i.+p
785: Anonymous NEET
Kotarou
786: Infrastructure Worker
Soap, Paper
787: Overwhelmingly Dog-Person
>>785
How could you give her away, how preposterous!
788: Yuuji
I have a lot of stockpiled salt, pepper and sugar
Same with soap
But if it’s possible; choose other things....
789: Anonymous NEET
Gems, gold/silver accessories
790: Anonymous NEET
Knowledge
Since you’re connected to the internet
You could do anything even outside the standards
791: Anonymous NEET
Tools made from iron
Like, screws, nails, bolts, nuts,
Saws, hammers, crowbars
792: Well InformedNEET
The information is... If we only at least know the era then...
Gla.s.s goods, mirror
Or rather, what is the first most surprising thing in the house for Alice-chan?
Excluding electrical appliances
793: Yuuji
>>792
Window gla.s.s, mirror
When I took her to the bath
She was surprised by the washroom mirror
Moving towards and away from it
Waving her hand. There was such commotion
794: YES Lolita NO Touch
Cuteee
The video?
795: Anonymous NEET
>>793
Then doesn’t this mean we already decided on mirror and gla.s.s?
796: Well Informed NEET
Even if there was none in the village there also a possibility that it’s a common thing in the city
However, well, even in modern days, clear mirror is valuable
It could be made in middle ages, but even a small piece of it was a super treasure
It only be able to ma.s.s produced in 19th centuries
But there also possibility that it could be made by using mysterious technology or magic
797: Anonymous NEET
>>796
But isn’t carrying the mirror is difficult?
798: Anonymous MEAT
>>797
Certainly true
You need to carry it in your back right?
799: Sakura’s Friend
Sorry to interrupt
But how about a compact mirror?
I think there are some in Sakura’s and Obasan’s room
It’s something that women put inside their bags
If they haven’t been disposed then there should be several of them
800: Anonymous NEET
O, Oooh, that’s it
801: Anonymous ETNE
I know I know, that’s it
I also use them
802: Anonymous MEAT
>>800-801
Do you guys really know?
That is that
Then I also had one in my backpack
803: Infrastructure Worker
The thing that they usually take out to do makeup inside the train, contact...something-ish
A small mirror
804: Anonymous NEET
>>803
You could’ve be the winner if you post this sooner
805: Yuuji
I’ll search it!
806: Sakura’s Friend
Yuuji-san, I think you should contact Sakura right now!
It will be quicker if you ask her via email.
856: Yuuji
Done
I found 8 pieces
There is a big A5 size
http://**************
I had emailed Sakura
And received her permission
But when she found out she was terribly angry
She said, why would you invite them inside the house, do you want to die?
As expected from living in America, she is severe towards intruders
857: Cool NEET
>>856
If there are several then it has been decided
Yuuji, how many can you could take out?
Also are there other mirrors in the house?
That you wouldn’t hand over even when it’s valuable
Also if there are three people holding weapons
They wouldn’t be able to enter a house even in j.a.pan
Since it will be more natural for the occupant to barricade themselves in and call the police[14]
858: Anonymous NEET
I’m glad!
I was previously fell down
859: Yuuji
>> 857
2 pieces to be used by Alice
Alice’s favorite is the one in my parents’ dresser
In the house,
・Bathroom on the first and second floor: two giant mirrors
・Two full-length mirrors
・Toilet on the first and second floor: two wall-mounted mirrors
・In my room and imouto’s room: two wall-mounted mirrors
・And the three sided mirror drawers in my parents’ room
The total number of large mirrors totals to 9
860: Anonymous ETNE
>>859
So many?
Do you own a mirror house?
861: Anonymous MEAT
>>860
It’s a solitary house[15], so it’s a given right?
Also a mirror house is not a place for living! Only for seeing!
862: Anonymous NEET
Reward is decided!
So is this over then?
863: Infrastructure Worker
As expected I’m getting sleepy
I have work tomorrow
864: Anonymous ETNE
I don’t have work all year long
865: Anonymous MEAT
I am now in the middle of work you now?
Personal Home Security[16]
866: Cool NEET
Wait
・Ask Alice whether she has any other relatives outside the village
・Leave the annoying adventurer aside and negotiate with the other two
・Contact Alice’s acquaintance in the city or village, and ask them to come
・For the person who came and the adventurers, the rewards are compact mirrors, maximal of 6 pieces
I think it’s okay
However, is it possible for Yuuji to hold the negotiation well by himself?
>>859
Also Yuuji, absolutely don’t hand over the large mirror
Do not reveal its existence
You should also avoid mentioning the dresser
867: Anonymous NEET
I think it will be impossible for Yuuji alone
868: Anonymous ETNE
Impossible: 3000 points
869: Anonymous MEAT
It will fail: 10,000 Perica![17]
870: Yuuji
I don’t have any confidence
871: Anonymous NEET
Is there anyone here who is good with negotiation?
Or rather, everyone teach this guy how to negotiate!
872: Anonymous NEET
>>871
Hey you, dealing with people from Asia to Europe
Negotiator Yuugo[18]
How regrettable Yuuji, you just miss one letter
873: Former Talented Salesman
I have done real estate and investment firm
I have been recognized as rank 1 country wide
I wrecked my body so now I’m a NEET
874: Cool NEET
I think that’s plenty enough
Then Yuuji, from this point on the thread will be
Man to man lesson preparation for tomorrow by 873-san
873-san, I leave him at your capable hand
875: Anonymous ETNE
Everyone!
Please leave this to me and escape!
This place reeks with the stench of work!

Why did I stay up all night long...
I’m also off to work!

034: YES Lolita NO Touch
Take care!
But before that please post an image of Alice waking up!
035: Well Informed NEET
Go!
It’s been a while since I had a feeling of working
Maybe I should go job hunting...
036: Former Talented Salesman
As long as Alice-chan has acquaintances
The negation with the adventurers this time will be an easy victory
The reward is a visible object so it will be fine
Don’t worry too much
Take care
037: Anonymous NEET
I wonder if Yuuji remembers that his sentence is suspended
038: Anonymous NEET
If he make a mistakes so easily
Then he will be deserted by everyone...
Author Note:
I think people who can enjoy film with only subt.i.tle are quite special.
It’s interesting, however it’s better if there is a sound...
However, Silent Film Interpreter (Bens.h.i.+) is an occupation with a romance. They look tough.
Next Chapter. The dialogue.
[1] It’s a pun. Fuyugomori 冬籠り “hibernation” and Hikikomori 引籠り “shut in” only differed in one Kanji.
[2] The Water Magician (滝の白糸 Taki no s.h.i.+raito) is a 1933 black and white j.a.panese silent film directed by Kenji Mizoguchi. It is one of the most popular t.i.tles from the silent film work of Mizoguchi.
[3] This refers to the silent film with Bens.h.i.+ accompaniment. Bens.h.i.+ (弁士) were j.a.panese performers who provided live narration for silent films (both j.a.panese films and Western films). During silent films, the bens.h.i.+ stood to the side of the screen and introduced and related the story to the audience like Kabuki, Noh or theatrical performance.
[4] I don’t get this reference
[5] The original is てへんだ, てへんだtehenda, tehenda, a Sendai dialect variation for大変だtaihenda
[6] In old man speaking style
[7] See Chapter 2 Part 10 for the first time this exchange happened
[8] It’s a j.a.panese idiom 全裸待機 Zenrataiki. Refer to standby posture for people who late to come to see the video/media. Naked in here means: STOP POSTING YOU PEOPLE, so naked means no post.
[9] Hadaka Necktie is a pun on Hadaka Ap.r.o.n (Naked Ap.r.o.n). It means wearing nothing except necktie. (I think ap.r.o.n is better, imho)
[10] DT = Doutei or virgin. In j.a.pan there is a meme that said “If someone still virgin after 30 he will turned into magician”
[11] Just like: Pokemon Get!
[12] Expression of very much surprised
[13] Himari no tame ni... eh wrong... This is not Mawaru Penguindrum... Alice no tame ni
[14] I mean is there is a sane person inviting unknown people holding sword to your house?
[15] Solitary house. Usually a house in the suburb and he house plot didn’t touch other house directly (the walls didn’t meet with each other). In the land deprived j.a.pan, owning Solitary House in the suburb was quite a financial success.
[16] 自宅警備 Jitaku Keibi (roughly Own Home Security) is a slang for Hiki-NEET because you know, they never leave home so, they guarding the house...
[17] ペリカ Perika or perica: A fictional currency used in the manga Ultimate Survivor Kaiji
[18] A Manga t.i.tle: 交渉人 勇午. Known as Yuugo the Negotiator in English
