Now that I’ve registered with the Adventurer's Guild, should I check out the request board before going to another guild?
And so, I went and checked out the request board made of fine wood that was placed in a conspicuous place in the Adventurer's Guild.
“Capturing slimes, gathering medicinal herbs, escorting (or, in other words, looking for someone to talk to), running errands…”
I guess being an adventurer is a bit of a jack-of-all-trades profession after all.
There are very few monsters that’ll come and attack around the city, and even if there are, they’ll be in places where people don't approach, such as in the depths of the forest, inside a cave, or on the top of a mountain, and things like goblin armies and orc swarms are a fairy tale even in this world.
Well, this is only within Lotorl’s knowledge, so if I travel around the world, I'll probably find one somewhere.
There are fantasy-like requests like slaying dragons and capturing golden golems, but it's probably more of a performance, as being an adventurer is a job with dreams.
The only request posted on the board that I can immediately take is probably running an errand.
Since she’d given me production job skills, I wish she’d also given me an appraisal skill, that would have been convenient.
I don't want my first job in another world to be running errands for a grandma, so I think I'll try going around production guilds.
I went to the Sewing Guild that I had originally planned to join.
“Do you have a card? Or is this your first time registering?”
“I’d like to register with the guild.”
I handed my card issued by the Adventurer's Guild to the receptionist onee-san and successfully completed the registration.
There are no restrictions on guild registration, so all that’s left is to raise my level and increase the number of jobs I can take.
I take a quick look at the jobs posted on the request board.
“Delivering cotton, winding thread, helping with dyeing, they’re all chores, huh...”
Well, that's the kind of job you can take at level 1.
I also don't want my first job in another world to be doing chores, so let’s head to the Engraving Guild.
“Ore extraction, delivery, metal delivery, gemstone extraction, delivery...”
I submit my card to the Engraving Guild reception, register, and check the request board smoothly.
I don't even get to make items because I can only collect and deliver them.
I wonder if these are the only jobs Level ones can take...
Damn it, next is alchemy! Alchemy!
I head to the Alchemy Guild, submit my card to the reception, and register.
I check the request board smoothly.
“Delivery of medicinal herbs, poisonous herbs, and distilled water... kuh!”
Yeah, I knew it.
For distilled water, it was a simple task that anyone could do, just transfer it from a container that collected rainwater in the Alchemy Guild's garden to a bottle.
It is a job that can be done because there is no air pollution in this world and there’s no way for impurities to get into rainwater.
After that, I continued to visit the production guilds, but I could hear the sounds of my dreams being shattered even though I was in a different world because the requests were so similar.

By the time I got to the city, my legs were wobbly. I guess it was a little too far for a child's feet.
Even when I was a Hiki-NEET, this distance would have been nothing, but I guess I shouldn’t push myself too hard.
Anyway, I found the signboard for the Adventurer's Guild, so I thought I'd take a break there.
When I entered the adventurer's guild, I saw adventurers having fun and drinking together, and I began to realize that I had truly arrived in another world.
That’s enough of being moved, anyway, I just want to sit down now.
I sit down at an empty seat, pour some water from the jug on the table, and take a gulp.
“Fuu...”
I thought that if a child was sitting alone at a table in the adventurer's guild, they would be looked at with curiosity, and that an event might occur where thugs would come to pick on them, but nothing in particular happened.
I was looking forward to it a bit though.
After sitting for a while, my fatigue started to disappear, so I headed to the reception desk to register with the guild.
“Welcome to the Adventurer's Guild. Today is, registration, is it? Please put your hand over here. Yes, registration is complete. There will be a fee for reissuing your card, so please be careful. Well then, have a good adventurer's life!”
Guild registration went more easily than I had expected.
In fact, I didn't say a word. I just nodded.
Wow! That's an amazing status! With this, subjugating the demon king is no longer a dream! I was expecting something like that, but in the first place there were no demon kings or heroes in this world.
That aside, now comes the fun part: the status opening event.
I check the status written on the card.
Lotorl, human, female, 10 years old, adventurer level 1.
As expected, HP and attack power are not written down...
When I looked at the back side, there was a skill column, and written there were Compounding Skill, Synthesis Skill, and Alchemy Skill, each of which was listed as level 1.
My life as an adventurer was cut short.
No, I can do it if I push myself. In the alchemist game, I was doing my best by throwing the items I made! Anything could be solved with bombs! I can do it, I can do it! Let’s go!
“That’s not realistic at all, really...”
A 30-year-old boy was fed up by a 10-year-old girl. It’s a one-man joke though.
If it’s compounding, I think I can work in the Pharmacist Guild, alchemy in the Alchemy Guild, and synthesis in any production guild.
Sigh... For now, it looks like my isekai adventure tale has come to an end.
There's nothing wrong with living a slow life, but since I’m in a different world, I wanted to do Ore TUEEEEEEEEE, you know.
Well, I'll pass on feeling pain though. Ah, about having a baby...
Let's quickly develop painkillers!
I don't know if I’ll find a partner though! It’d be nice if he’s a male daughter. Or should I grow it?
* (T/N: 男の娘 - male daughter - young man who has a feminine aesthetic.)
“Are you okay? You've been groaning for a while now, do you feel pain anywhere?”
I suddenly heard someone call out to me and my body jumped.
When I looked at the owner of the voice, I saw a handsome adventurer with blond hair and blue eyes. I was enchanted.
Well, from Lotorl’s perspective, he's a handsome guy, but from my previous life's point of view, he's far from a love interest.
It might work if he dressed up as a woman or turned into a woman though. Gehehe.
What's with the gehehe, I'm grossed out myself.
“I-I’m okay. I was hoping for a combat job, but I only had the skills for a production job, so I was reconsidering my future life plans.”
I grew up being bullied in an orphanage, so I have communication disorder in this world as well.
My eyes are darting around.
“That is regrettable... If you don't mind, how about I introduce you to a pharmacist I know?”
“No, I'll think about it some more. Thank you very much.”
“I see, alright. If you have any trouble, let me know. I'm Shishido. Even if I look like this, I'm still a mid-level adventurer at adventurer level 38. I think I can at least be your guard or escort you when you are gathering. As expected, I can’t defeat dragons but I’ve defeated a pterosaur before. I’m just bragging, though. Ahaha.”
“I'm Lotorl. I’ll be counting on you at that time.”
After shaking hands and leaving the place, Shishido-san was booed by other adventurers, calling him a lolicon pervert bastard.
I think I'll remember him as a lolicon comrade.

Ogyaaa! It's been 10 years since I was born.
I don't have any memories from when I was a baby, and before I knew it, I was placed in an orphanage, bullied by other orphans, raised strictly by teachers, and just now, kicked out of the orphanage to get rid of a nuisance in the name of graduation.
“Lotorl-chan. Let's meet again somewhere!”
“Un! Let’s meet again someday for sure!”
A beautiful girl 3 years younger than me, the only person at the orphanage who befriended me, Lefie, hu─gged me tightly, forever and ever! Until eventually, with great reluctance, I headed towards the city while we waved our hands. On the way, I tripped over a stone and magnificently fell on my head. In that instant, memories of my previous life came back to me.
“Ha!? I (watashi)!? No, I (ore)!? Girl!? I’m a girl!? It’s a TS reincarnation? What’s the meaning of this, God!?”
I thrust my hand into my knicker and confirmed that my partner wasn’t there, and while I’m at it, I touched my new partner, and I writhed in a sensation I had never experienced in my male body.
“Hafuu!?”
It's so sensitive that it actually hurts. If it’s like this, I'll have to put off playing alone for a while... No, no! This is not the time for something like that.
“Calm down, when I calm down, I’ll calm down, fuu...”
First of all, it is important to make a calm decision.
I, Lotorl-chan, was a 30-year-old Hiki-NEET virgin who died and was reincarnated in another world.
I feel like calling myself using ‘chan’ is kinda wrong.
My memories of when I was a Hiki-NEET are stronger than my memories as Lotorl, and I feel like a stranger to myself.
TS reincarnation makes me a little turned on!
“Calm down, calm down, me! The 30-year-old Hiki-NEET is dead! He's gone! But he'll live on in my heart! And I'm Lotorl, 10 years old, a beautiful girl! By this world's standards, I'm considered ugly! Horrible! Those guys who had fun bullying me, if I run into them somewhere, I'll definitely blow them away! Alright!”
A previous life can only be a previous life after all.
I probably won't meet any of my acquaintances from my previous life in this world, and at most I can only use it as a knowledge cheat. I don't know if a Hiki-NEET who is addicted to games can use knowledge cheats though.
“Ah, right. Didn’t that little girl god tell me to look forward to something? Status open!”
The status screen that you often see in games, it’s not displayed.
It may be that I don’t have that kind of ability just yet, there’s a possibility that I might be able to see it someday. It's a different world after all, so I want to have high hopes for it.
“I won’t find out about that right now, so I guess I need to register with a guild somewhere.”
There are a wide variety of guilds in this world, such as the Adventurer's Guild, Mercenary's guild, Pharmacist's Guild, etc. When you register with a guild, you are issued a card, at that time, you will find out what your talent is.
I’m in another world after all, that means I’ve got to go to the royal road of the Adventurer's Guild.
Personally, I prefer the Sewing guild or the Engraving Guild, but I have to make your wishes come true, Otaku-kun.
It feels weird trying to comfort yourself.
“For now, let’s go to the city!”
I set out for the city in high spirits, excited by the life in another world full of dreams and hopes that awaits me.
────
(T/N: I think the MC is considered ugly because every other person is just more beautiful, not because of a reversed sense of beauty or something like that, and thank god for that.)

Slow Life in Another World Through Compounding, Synthesis, and Alchemy
Author: あるみひさく
RAW: 調合、合成、錬金で異世界スローライフ
This is a story about a TS reincarnated protagonist who experiments as much as she likes using the skills given to him by God.
The protagonist's name is Lotorl.
An older sister killer who loves teasing older sisters.
* (T/N: release schedule will be 1 chapter per day. To be precise, 30 chapters per month. So that I can arrange the release easier. Basically, every day except the 31st of every month will have a release.)
CSA 1 - When I Died, There Was a Little Girl
Just when I thought an unmanned tank truck had crashed into my house, it exploded and burst into flames.
It seems I died helplessly.
At that time, I was asleep in my room, so I don't actually remember, but it seems that's what happened.
Apparently, I'm in the so-called afterlife place.
Once I was shown a video of my own death, I had no choice but to accept it.
Still, what are the odds that a small piece of space junk would hit a man-made satellite, causing the location information to be bugged, causing the AI to mistake a house for a road and cause a collision?
“Well then, please choose between heaven, hell, or reincarnation.”
The touch panel floating in the air displays the options of going to heaven, going to hell, and going to reincarnation, so it seems like I have to choose one.
It's good that I can choose my own destination, but is there no god-like being like Enma-sama?
The voice that I've been hearing for a while is mechanical and sounds like an audio guide, so I wonder if there are work-style reforms even in the afterlife.
Anyway, if I don't choose one, I'll end up staying in this empty space forever.
Now then, which one should I choose?
“I feel like I’d want to see heaven, reincarnation, or even hell ... hm?”
When I looked closely, I found a small writing in the corner of the panel that read, ‘going to another world reincarnation’.
“What’s another world reincarnation?”
I knew at least about another world reincarnation, but I wanted to know what it was all about, so I asked the audio guide, but it didn't respond.
The ‘another world’ it’s talking about, it’s the place where there are heroes and demon lords, magic and skills, and beastmen, elves, and dwarves, that isekai, right?
Or is it another world where the gender ratio or the idea of chastity is reversed?
I’m curious.
I ended up getting curious.
Once I ended up getting curious, other options became impossible.
“It’s gotta be another world reincarnation, right? ... I'm a young man after all.”
With that being the case, I pressed the button, not! Before that, I searched every corner of the panel to see if there was anything else hidden, and after confirming that there were no other options, it was finally time for another world reincarnation!
Not! Before that, I try investigating this empty space.
“It's small, about 6 tatami, I guess.”
The space I thought was excessively spacious was covered with an invisible wall, making it impossible to proceed any further.
I poked around here and there to see if there were any hidden doors or hidden control panels, but there didn't seem to be any.
“The only other thing I haven’t looked into is...”
I guess it’d be my own dead body that’s still here even after I died, huh?
I tried pinching my cheek, but I didn't feel any pain.
I tried biting my finger, but no blood came out, and the crushed flesh immediately returned to normal.
Interesting.
After that, I played with my body until I’m satisfied, and I even tried playing by myself, but nothing special stood out.
“I feel like I can play here for about another week.”
The instant I muttered such nonsense, ‘beep, beep’ a warning sound suddenly rang and the world literally turned upside down.
“Gueh!?”
I fell on my head and let out a shriek, but I didn't really feel any pain.
“I guess there’s a kid like you every once in a while.”
When I turned to the direction of the voice, I saw a little girl in a white cloth looking at me with a dumbfounded expression on her face.
So cute, I want to take her home.
“Officer-san! It’s this person!”
Oops, I ended up looking at her with strange eyes.
For the record, I am not a lolicon.
This little girl was just so divine and beautiful that I just couldn't help but think that.
“By any chance, are you a god-like person?”
“That's right. And you're the scumbag NEET who gave me extra work.”
That’s one scathing god.
Being insulted with a cute voice is not bad either.
“Gross. Hurry up and reincarnate will you? Don't you want to be reincarnated in another world?”
“Are you the type of god who can read thoughts? No, I would like to reincarnate into another world, but I was hesitant because I didn't know what kind of world it would be. My apologies.”
“The heck? Even though you're a Hiki-NEET, you can speak clearly?”
“I'm a Hiki-NEET, so I can only speak to others using honorific language. It's the so-called communication disorder.”
I feel like she's looking at me with pity, but I'm sure it's just my imagination.
“...Come here, let me pat you on the head. Come closer.”
When I approached the little girl god as I was told, she floated up into the air to make it easier to stroke my head and gave me a gentle pat.
So it wasn’t just my imagination? Bitter.
“Your time was poor. Your luck is also nonexistent. You ended up living a life without meaning, I’m sorry, my child.”
“So this is the feeling of motherhood, huh...”
I was overcome with emotion and cried out loud. Without understanding anything, I burst into tears. Hics.
“Cry, cry. Your soul is too stagnant, so let's wash it all away here.”
A 30-year-old virgin Hiki-NEET sobbing while hugging the soft breasts of a little girl god.
By the time I finished crying, there was a puddle at my feet.
“Umu, it looks like you've let everything out. So let me ask you one more time. Heaven, hell, or reincarnation. Or maybe reincarnation in another world. Which one do you choose?”
That’s obvious.
“Please be my mother!”
“From the beginning, all life in this world is my child. Or rather, enough and get off me already, you’re gross.”
“So horrible! Even though you were so kind to me!”
“Fumu, reincarnation in another world, it is. Well then, I’ll pray that you lead a good life.”
Suddenly, the little girl god looked at me like I had become a pain in the ass.
Or rather, so you have decided that I will be reincarnated into another world.
“Ah, uu...?”
Suddenly, my consciousness is...
Please at least give me a cheat skill or magic...
“That's something you'll have to look forward to after you reincarnate. Well then, Godspeed”

[Himezaki-san]’s Phantom Rejected Final Chapter
Afterword
The secret to their name
Himezaki Yurika → Yurika → Yuri (Girl’s Love), ka.
Kataribe Amane → Amane → A name that can be used by both men and women
Within the story, Himezaki sometimes refers to herself as [girlfriend], [girl], or [beautiful girl], but toward Amane, she has only called him as [Amane] and [you] (and jokingly, [Amane-kun]).
The author himself only calls Amane as [Amane] when replying to comments about his works.
Now, let's go back to Chapter 1 of the main story and get back to the task of moe-ing the Bokukko Cool Beauty Amane-san!
* (T/N: ‘bokukko’ is a girl who uses ‘boku’ to refer to herself.)

※ This is a purely rejected material.
This also contradicts the content of the final chapter of the main story, so I would appreciate it if you would think, “I guess there's another way to look at it.”

(T/N: that’s the end. This extra is actually a different series, but I’m not planning to make an NU page about this one, if you want to make it, feel free. This is the link to this extra:

Himezaki-san & [Boku]
“Hey, Amane, I know it's too late to say this, but why do you use [boku] when you refer to yourself?”
“That’s really too late. I've been using it since I was little and it stayed just like that. Why are you asking me that again?”
“As one half of the lovey-dovey couple, I just thought I have to know the other person well!”
“I see. By the way, I think you should stop using that way of speaking. People around will misunderstand, thinking, [Those guys, they're serious].”
“Then, Amane should just dress more stylishly and talk to the people around you a lot to avoid any misunderstandings!”
“That is troublesome in its own way, isn’t it?”
“Leaving the talking aside, for the time being, shouldn’t you dress more stylishly? You are a girl after all.”

Preface
This work is my completed work,
[A New Type of Web Novel That Can Be Enjoyed in 15 Seconds per Chapter: “The Most Eccentric and Beautiful Girl in the School, [Himezaki-San], Confessed to Me!”]
Its rejected material.
Therefore, it will make no sense at all to those who have not read the main story.
I've attached a link below, so if you haven't read the main story, please go there.
Also, there was a reason why this chapter was rejected despite the fact that this was a combination of short stories, so if you were satisfied with the way the main story ended, we recommend you to press ‘back’ on your browser.

“Ah─, I wonder what will happen to me after I graduate, Amane─, save me─.”
“Weren’t you planning to get a job using your family's connections if you didn't get into the university of your choice?”
“Yes, I wanted to get higher education if I could, but I don’t know if I can with my head─. Amane is also going to get higher education, right?”
“I did think about doing that before, but I’ve decided to get a job instead.”
“Really? Why again?”
“I've got some connections that will help me get a job at a pretty good place. Also, I need to save up some money on my own so I can become independent in the future.”
“Heeh? It's rare for you to say something like that. Is there a reason why you want to become independent quickly?”
“Yes, about that,”
“Un un.”
“Let's get married once I become independent, Yurika.”
────
(T/N: That's the end.
Btw, I wonder if Amane’s connection is actually Yurika’s family.)

“A straw hat and pure white one piece, is it? You look very cute, Himezaki-san.”
“Eh heh heh! I know right─! Aren’t I really cute─?! If I play in a field of flowers like this, won’t it be the best─?!"
“Should you really say that yourself?”
“What the heck─! The one that matches this outfit is a colorful field of flowers, right─?”
“Yes, yes, that is correct. Also, it would look good with a place with a beautiful stream.”
“A stream, huh, there’s one nearby, but it's windy there so if I go there dressed like this, I'll have to hold down my hat and feet.”
“Himezaki-san, if I remember correctly, that place has beautiful flowers, right? Let's head there right away.”
“You are you after all.”

“We're the only characters speaking after all, so it’ll probably turn out like that, Himezaki-san.”
“Wow─! Isn't it overwhelming that me and Amane have a monopoly on first and second place?!”
“Like I said, I think it's a matter of style of the work. Also, there’s no way to know what will actually happen. There may be many curious people who will vote for someone else.”
“No, we’re definitely in the top two! Praise me for being at the top.”
“Wow, Himezaki-san is amazing.”
“Un un! Then since I’m the top one, tell the mobs to get rid of my homework!”
“As expected, you're still you.”

“I see, I see! How about you hear about the background first?”
“Actually, I'm not that interested in that. I'd like your three sizes, please.”
“Un! First, my bench press is impossible to measure!”
“So it can’t even be measured, and isn’t that the big three of muscle training?”

“That's why I'm thinking of forming the [Yurika-chan Four Heavenly Kings]!”
“Well, well.”

“Yes, Himezaki-san, it's common to write it as a five pointed star.”
“But you know, aren’t actual stars like this: ○ ?.”
“It is indeed shaped like a sphere because of gravity.”
“So, why bother writing it differently from its actual shape?”
“Now, I wonder why? Isn’t it because the five pointed star feels like it shines?”
“Mu, so what you’re saying is, image is a priority, right?!”
“Most likely. I don't know the details though.”
“So, for example, rather than doing my homework, having the image that makes it seem like I did is better, right?”
“Why not put that effort toward homework?”

“It's when your abdominal muscles are split, Himezaki-san. Come to think of it, Himezaki-san has a uselessly amazing physical ability, but you don't have a six-pack, don’t you?”
“Well─! I’m a beautiful high school girl after all! Too amazing muscles won't look good in pictures, right?!”
“I was asking about the logic though. Also, that's a little disrespectful to people who work hard to get those abs.”
“Ee─h? But what about girls with all those muscles?!”
“Athletes and dancers have beautiful abs, and they themselves look beautiful, don’t they?”
“Mu, does Amane like that kind of stomach? Then, from today onwards, I'll exercise ten times as much as before and split my stomach!”
“I think it's best for you to remain as you are.”

(T/N: I guess Amane is more scared of Yurika being ten times stronger than her muscles.)

“Amane, why does the number [7] have a lucky meaning?”
“A long time ago, during a baseball match in a developed country, a strong wind happened to hit during the seventh inning, hitting the ball and turning into a home run, that’s the popular theory, Himezaki-san.”
“Hee─h, baseball, huh.”
“But, there seem to be many other theories, so I don’t know which one is true.”
“The heck, that's pretty random. So if I start talking about lucky happenings related to number 7 and spread the word, do you think everyone will recognize it?”
“I think it’s not entirely impossible ... theoretically, but what are you trying to spread?”
“Un! I think I'll make that previous wish on these seven balls I have here after this!”
“That’s out.”

“A flawless beauty? Isn't your friendliness relatively good towards everyone?”

“I see─, then I guess it’s fine.”
“What made you think that all of a sudden?”
“Well you see, don't you think a flawless beauty is picturesque? A pistol and a beauty, that feeling of mismatch.”
“So you are talking about ‘a shooting beauty’? Either way, if you have a fist, you won't need a gun.”

(T/N: 八方美人 - flawless beauty. Beauty in 8 directions. Can also mean someone who is friendly toward everyone. That one is a derogatory term though.
発砲美人 - shooting beauty. They both are pronounced happou bijin.)

“Amane─! That bird at that house! It spoke, you know!”
“That one is... a myna, Himezaki-san. Like parakeets and parrots, it's a bird that's famous for imitating human speech.”
“Ah, so it really was like that! I was surprised!”
“What word did it exactly let out?”
“Hmm, like [Good morning] or [Hello].”
“I suppose it remembers greetings.”
“Like [Give me some food], or, [This is fun].”
“So you talk about a lot of things to it.”
“Like, [How am I going to cheat on my homework today?] or [Amane is going to complain at me again].”
“Himezaki-san, you must have passed by that bird quite a lot.”

“Oh, Amane─, now that I think about it, aren’t there 10 more chapters left before we reach 300 chapters?”
“That’s right, Himezaki-san, that’s a splendid and accurate arithmetic calculation.”
“Wow! Isn’t 300 a good stopping point? I'm deeply moved─!”
“Didn’t you say that 200 was a bit half-hearted or something like that, Himezaki-san?”
“So, I wonder what we'll do for Chapter 300─! Maybe we'll look back on the past?”
“If it’s that, it's already decided, you know.”
“Eh, really? What is it? What are we going to do?”
“At Chapter 300, [Himezaki-san] will have its final chapter.”

“Amane─, isn’t it too hot these days?”
“It's sure to get even hotter in the future, but it's certainly hot enough right now, Himezaki-san.”
“I know right─, a paper fan will be handy right now.”
* (T/N: paper fan as in, paper, or book, or something like that used as a fan. advice?)
“Why not a regular fan? I have just the one, so I'll fan you.”
“Oh! Thanks! Geez, it's so cool!”
“That's the best.”
“Then I'll fan you this time! Give me your fan!”
“Here you go. Before you fan me, would you mind if you fan that way for a moment?”
“Eh? That way? Sure, but like this?”
“Ah, as I thought, anything and everything was blown away.”

“Amane─! Good morning─!”
“Good morning Himezaki-san, you arrived at school without being late today I see.”
“Un! When I did radio calisthenics today, I wasn't late!”
“That’s a good thing, and isn’t it a good idea to do it every day?”
“No─! As expected, that's too tough─!”
“It may be difficult at first, but once you make it a habit, you’ll be able to do it, you know?”
“No, because, you see, humans have their limits!”
“Since you could do it today, why not take up the challenge?”
“But I've been doing it since midnight, you know? Doing it every day is just too much!”
“So you weren't late because you stayed up all night.”

(T/N: I feel like I changed it too much. I wonder if I’m tired.)

“Oh, Amane, aren't you a bit sunburnt?”
“Really? The sun has been strong lately, so that might be the case, Himezaki-san.”
“Fumu fumu, that tanned skin is quite nice!”
“Apparently, it’s not very good for your skin. After that it is just a matter of preference, I suppose.”
“Okay! I’ll get one too! That tan!”
“This is the first time I've seen someone get sunburnt by suddenly focusing light on their body, Himezaki-san.”
“Not yet─!”
“You're starting to look like a black gyaru, Himezaki-san.”
“Haaaaa!”
“You’re already charcoal, Himezaki-san.”

“Amane─! Yahhaaaaa!”
“Nice surfing, Himezaki-san. As expected, you're really good at this sort of thing.”
“Geez! As I thought, I'm a genius after all! Is Amane not going to ride?”
“I'm still practicing. I feel like it’ll still be several days before I can do it properly.”
“What the hell─? Learn quickly and let’s ride together─!”
“This is difficult, you know. First of all, I can't stand up properly on the board.”
“I’m not even standing on the board─!”
“I'm not the kind of person who can stand directly on water on my bare feet.”

“Amane─! I bought shaved ice, cotton candy, frankfurters, and grilled squid!”
“Good for you, Himezaki-san. But I don't think it’s a good idea to buy them all at once and mix them all up.”
“Isn’t it fine?! Ah, thanks for holding the prize from the target shooting earlier!”
“Yes, I'll give it back to you. For some reason, Himezaki-san’s shot tore a hole open in the prize.”
“Then let’s do some yo-yo fishing!”
“Yes, but let's refrain from taking everything in one play like you did in the goldfish scooping, Himezaki-san.”

“Amane─, why do you write [contradiction (矛盾)] with [spear (矛)] and [shield (盾)]?”
“I think the name came from the fact that no one can answer what happens when you use a self-proclaimed [spear that can pierce anything] to pierce a self-proclaimed [shield that nothing can pierce], so they just stuck the words together, Himezaki-san.”
“Un, I guess so? But isn't the answer to that easy?”
“What do you mean?”
“You can just hit everything with the shield and break them, and deal with every kind of attack with the spear.”
“That’s not an answer at all, and it doesn't make any sense. Please don't create any new mystery.”

“Amane─, why are city stations so complicated?”
“The demand for trains is huge, so the stations have to be big as well, which means we have to make them complicated, right? Himezaki-san.”
"Even if you say that, it’s too complicated. It's pointless if it's hard to use─.”
“Even if you say that, your standards are kinda, people need these things as they are.”
“But, it's become a dungeon now, you know─.”
“Won’t it be fun if you go while thinking that it’s like conquering a dungeon?”
“Mu! I see! That means there are a lot of treasures and strong enemies!”
“Please stop after all.”

“Amane─! I went bungee jumping the other day!”
“That’s quite a frightening thing to challenge, Himezaki-san.”
“It was fun─! Jumping off from a high place all at once!”
“If you're having quite a good time, that's the best.”
“But having to land nicely is pretty difficult!”
“I wonder if it was quite an aggressive suicide attempt?”
“Also, having to jump back all the way to the top to do it again is a bit tough!”
“I think there are only a few people who can quite do it.”

“Amane─, my younger brother and sister got into a quarrel yesterday, you see─.”
“Sibling quarrel, is it? I feel like it would be more intense in Himezaki-san's family than in a normal family.”
“It was tough, you know─! Chairs and knives were flying around! They even opened holes in the walls!”
“That’s dreadful.”
“The other siblings who tried to stop them ended up joining in and heating it up!”
“It looks like the scope will expand several times larger.”
“Un, it was getting more and more intense! But Mom stopped it when an evacuation advisory was issued for the surrounding area!”
“As expected of Himezaki-san's mother. How did she stop them?”
“When she said, [Let's have Yurika cook dinner today], everyone who was rioting sat in seiza on the spot and quieted down!”
“I suppose the ‘as expected’ was of you.”

“Amane─, is there any point in memorizing English?”
“Are you dissatisfied with the assignment in front of you, Himezaki-san?”
“No, that's not it─. If we're going to stay in Japan all the time, we don't need to be able to speak English, right?”
“Simple English has become common knowledge, so it's probably worth memorizing.”
“Even if you said that, my motivation is still─.”
“Himezaki-san, even your favorite games and manga often have cool English names, right? Don’t you get motivated by that?”
“Eeh─? Hmm, then Amane, say something in English that will make me motivated─.”
“I love you.”
“You're so unfair, you know."

“Amane, your way of holding eating utensils sure is beautiful.”
“Are you talking about the way I hold my chopsticks? My parents taught me to hold them properly from an early age.”
“You sure are well-educated.”
“Isn’t Himezaki-san’s way normally beautiful as well?”
“I'm good at everything after all. Ah, now that I think about it, it seems they've started teaching my really young little sister how to hold things.”
“It never hurts to know how to hold chopsticks properly after all.”
“Then, I don’t know where my sister learned this, but she laughed and said, [I can’t hold anything heavier than chopsticks─].”
“Isn't she adorable?”
“She wasn’t kidding though─, it looks like she can finally hold that one that hangs over the river.”
“Why are you teaching her how to hold a bridge?”

“Amane─! Let's go see the fireworks─!”
“Go see... the fireworks? Is there a fireworks show nearby?”
“It's not a show though! Now get ready, get ready! Look! I'm already in my yukata─!”
“Yes, then please wait a moment. ...So, where are we going?”
“My older sister's place─! Apparently she's going to show us her handmade fireworks!”
“Himezaki-san's older sister? Is she a fireworks craftsman?”
“No, I think she has full command of the entire country's military affairs.”
“...How does that turn into fireworks?”
“I heard there are things like cannons and mines.”
“What exactly are they trying to do?”
