Kokugensou wo Item Cheat de Ikinuku (LN) Volume 1 Chapter 1.1

From the modern j.a.pan, i was teleported into this remote village in a different world and one week has already past. I was completely exhausted from doing a farmer’s work, i feel so tired.

「Ah-, d.a.m.n, Why the water supply is- that is. 」

I was drawing water from a distant well to the farmhouse this early morning, going back and forth several times.

i take care of the cows because they are essential farming equipment in this middle ages and that is now my job.

After replenis.h.i.+ng the cows water, it’s now time to feed them.

To feed them i piled up plenty of hay.

The thing is, i cant have a meal if we don’t feed the animals. In other words, i’m lower than the domestic animals

because the Cows knows that i’ll feed them, they are pleased and they「Moo」happily.

I gradually became attached to them since taking care of them and it’s lovely, but the labor is harsh so i don’t have the leisure to think of that.

So stop licking me.

I like eating a cow but i don’t like being taste by a cow.

「Haa…. Good grief.」

Fatigue after fatigue.

Muscle pain after muscle pain.

I was employed to this farmhouse thanks to Louise’s recommendation.

Even an incapable person like me can do something like helping a farmer, so it can be said that I’m thankful, but i’ve been dead tired in this one week.

Furthermore, I, who was employed by a farmer, somewhat thinks that i’m being work endlessly.

Rodo family is a rich farmers, they keep a large number of horse and pigs aside from the cows. They doesn’t seem to be a dairy farmer so the domestic animal will be use for farming.

No, wait a minute, i don’t want to become a farmer nor a Dairy farmer. A person teleported into a different world, to do this kind of work feels wrong.

It’s also because work is too severe, that such dissatisfaction is coming out from my mind. I think i’ll get accustomed to it as i continue to get experience from this physical labor. I’m having a pain in the body from having a continuous muscle pain time after time.

This is obviously from getting over work. It can’t be help since there is no bureau of labor and employment here in this midieval fantasy world where i can complain.

even though i say this to the farmer, this time around is not the busy season for farmers yet this is just leisure one.

The reason why work is hard is because both the farmer and his wife while working is still also taking care of their small daughter.

I fetch some water and chop some firewood, it’s quite hard.

I love fantasy very much but i haven’t thought that there is much hards.h.i.+p in daily life.

my delusions broke by this cruel fantasy world in one week. I saw and heard various things in a village and gradually understood circ.u.mstances of this different world.

The small village called Ross (TN:ロスゴ) is under the territory [s.h.i.+rejie] kingdom. The [s.h.i.+rejie] kingdom is located in the middle of the [Yura] continent. But because there isn’t a map i can’t say that i’m certain about it, but it was the things that i heard from the locals who have a rough knowledge of this world.

There is also magic in this world rather than science.

however, people who can only use magic are only special people called magician who has magical power from birth, the magicians who are small in numbers that didn’t choose to be an adventurer are being employed by n.o.bles and become government officials of the kingdom.

the others who can use holy magic becomes a priest and employed by the church and most of them are generally powerful.

In other words, nothing changes in the life of the ordinary people who doesn’t have magic.

In my point of view, the ordinary people who can’t use magic in this inconvenient world has also herculean physical strength.

That’s probably because of the busy farming seasons.

my arms might possible be torn off.

「Ha, I can no longer..」

I lay down on the hay.

The hay doesn’t have insect so it’s clean and very pleasant . gradually i feel sleepy.

i’m skipping work, i might get fired. then i might get kicked out from the village and die in no time in this cruel world.

Even though Louise helped me, will i die because of that such reason.

「No, It’s a game over the time i give up. 」

I raised my body from the hay.

I braced myself and inspires myself from that line of my favorite manga.

I picked up the wooden stick and began to draw plan.

It cant be helped since there’s no pencil nor paper. rather than complaining alone, it’ better to gather some ideas.

The t.i.tle is 『Let’s make money by the use of modern day knowledge.』 When i think about it, i was a student of engineering department.

For example, there is no water service, then i create a water supply by myself.

It’s difficult to do it by myself but i can consult a blacksmith and i can also sell my idea to the person who can make it.

In the nearby river there’s Watermill that being used to create flour because of the natural energy, You can also draw out the water pump.

For example just by using my hand i can easily pump the water out from the well. (TL he is probably talking about this one.  ) With that life should be considerably become easier.

A blond girl came nearby with a worried face.

「Ah, Takeru is lazy. 」

「No, I was just thinking for a moment.」

This farmer’s daughter Sara-chan.

A specially beautiful girl, with a blonde hair and captivating emerald green eyes, it’s pretty enough to heal my fatigue.

Sara-chan is a wearing mediaeval ages clothes, she’s wearing a cape and an ap.r.o.n with a native dress like Heidi dress (TN: Traditional Swedish Dress) It looks very lovely, I find it a little bit nagging since she’s child.

No, because it’s a child it’s nagging? I’m please with the current situation and glad that I’m under there family, i somehow feel proud.

but frankly speaking, it’s a little annoying.

It can’t be help to get a little annoying when ordered around by a little girl.

Her parents probably named her Sara because of her silky blonde hair.

「Huh, Takeru can write letters?」

「I can write letters, at least….」

Sara-chan was surprised by the letters and drawings that i rote on the soil.

「Amazing! Being able to write the [s.h.i.+nse] letter Takeru is a knowledgeable man.」

「 [s.h.i.+nse] character, what is that?」

When i ask Sara-chan about it, the letter that i wrote was sacred letter being used for official doc.u.ments.

Is that so? I wonder if this is a 『Cheat Language』.

I can’t live in this different world if i don’t understand the words or letters. The ability to understand a local language was given to me as relief measure for it.

It was too basic that i didn’t even notice that i was given an ability like this, i thought i was given nothing.

In this world that has a low literacy, being able to write and read is skill of people that has good profession, people who can write sacred letter are respected.

Sara-chan told me that in their free time, the villagers being taught by only low rank letters by the only person who knows how to write.

For some reason, Sacred letter seems to be used around the world by the church. Like Greek and Latin in my original world

So the lower rank letters are like English and French?

Whether lower rank letters or sacred letters, was able to write the characters that are being use in s.h.i.+rejie Kingdom.

It’s strange because i only remember j.a.panese on my head but it automatically translate to multilingual language.

I was worried that j.a.panese can’t be written anymore but i was relieved when i properly wrote Kanji. It’s possible that i might forget it if i don’t use it often.

「Amazing, Takeru is smart, you were able to write those letter although why do you work as a farmer. are you stupid?」

「Stupid or smart, which one is it?」

Because a person that can write can work in an office, i stopped taking care of the cows and went there immediately since i was told to do so.

Sara-chan’s teacher is in the village seems like she wants me to introduce to that person.

Because my j.a.panese converts in this worlds characters/letters, i didn’t notice that i could write the characters of this world and it can lead me to get a job.

I’d like to thank Sara-chan who gave me the information.

However, Sara-chan makes fun of farmer’s work.
