Chapter 44 – The smell of the bulls.h.i.+t thread on New Year’s Eve

I went through the mirror and returned to my room.

My mother was in the middle of boiling some tos.h.i.+kos.h.i.+ soba while my father was watching television while enjoying his beer downstairs.

It seems that neither my older brother, nor my sister, will return home this year. It was to be expected since they did say that the recession this year was really bad so they couldn’t afford it, financially. Well, considering that the mirror I have now might pose some problems if they were to find out, it was great news to me personally. It wasn’t as if they would be giving me any ‘otos.h.i.+dama’ anyway. 1 The only thing my brother would do is pester me on my job-hunting.

Anyway, my New Year’s Eve is usually a common one. After finis.h.i.+ng the tos.h.i.+kos.h.i.+ soba made by my mother, I’ll laze around doing nothing but watching the television specials which air annually during this time. That was how I intended to spend my day too, but since my siblings weren’t coming back, we had plenty of leftover soba. I wondered how I could sneak the two portions of food back to my room. I had thought about bringing the soba back to Diana and Marina but no matter how I thought about it, it would end up being too suspicious.

For the time being, I’ll just put that matter aside. After finis.h.i.+ng my own portion of soba, I returned to my room to switch on my PC.

This might be a good time for me to put the items up for auction. Since the post office is not open on New Year’s Eve, I have to put off s.h.i.+pping all the goods for now. However, considering that it is currently winter vacation, the post office will certainly be overloaded.

After taking pictures of the products purchased from the flea market a few days ago, I put the items up for bid one by one. The last time I listed the items up for an opening bid of 1 yen, I earned quite an amount of profit so I decided to use the same pattern again. Even though I could set the prices of each products by rough estimation, there were still some areas that I wasn’t that familiar with as yet.

Once I was done with that, I took out my digital camera and started processing the images so I could upload them to the thread. The main ones that I had taken were photographs of the mansion, but snapshots of the party held today and of both my slaves in UNIQLO clothing were also included among them.

After uploading several pieces of images, I opened up the board. Having not checked it for several days, it seemed to have advanced to the fourth page. It was supposed to be at the third one the last time I started writing, so it seemed to have progressed quite a bit. Anyway, that was what I thought, but it suddenly hit me that it was winter break, so I guess it couldn’t be helped.

【Serious】 My mirror is connected to another world 【Proof】 9

66: Anonymous Fairy

1 appeared and insisted that his mirror is connected to another world.

He uploaded the images of the other world’s townscape.

He made a remark that he would be sharing the night with the slaves but failed to do so.

He defeated a monster using a magic weapon.

The mansion will be completed soon!……that was the announcement that he made but we never heard from him again.

1 died in the other world far far away ← Here now

There’s no telling anymore if 1 will be coming.

Isn’t the particular about the bar ready yet?

69: Anonymous Fairy

I thought it would resemble a shop in my neighbourhood. I guess it was possibly just my imagination.

70: Anonymous Fairy

Someone with experience even said that those were CG.

71: Anonymous Fairy

……Wouldn’t it be too vain to produce a CG like that?

72: Anonymous Fairy

Images of weapons aside, the ones of the elves-chan should all be residents, I think.

73: Anonymous Fairy

Especially his sense in choosing the armours….

Why not an ordinary s.h.i.+eld or armour? Why a gauntlet?

74: Anonymous Fairy

I just joined recently but are all those CG in the end?

75: Anonymous Fairy

That was what I wanted to say but….

After 1 uploaded the images, he’d go missing for several days….

Just compose yourself.

Real ones? A real magic sword?

My sword training and mansion were completed already since then.

Isn’t that just a Western-style house?

89: Anonymous Fairy

Are you planning to keep a horse as well?

Wouldn’t it be impossible for an amateur to handle a horse?

90: Anonymous Fairy

No I don’t care about those. Just give me the images of those elves-chan.

I wasn’t being impatient. I was just trying to irritate 1.

It’s a horse from a fantasy world so there shouldn’t be any problem.

They can even speak human languages.

That’s because the elves will always end up being the main topic.

As long as the ‘sas.h.i.+mi’ elves are present, the rest doesn’t matter anymore. 3

102: Anonymous Fairy

So when you travel there, does the ma.s.s of ‘you’ in this world suddenly disappear?

Do you know how the law of conservation of ma.s.s works?

103: Anonymous Fairy

1-san is an electronic fairy so he doesn’t have ma.s.s.

104: Anonymous Fairy

There wouldn’t be any issue if it’s not actually connected to the parallel world, but to another place like the ‘Anywhere Door’ instead, right? 4

105: Anonymous Fairy

Neverland?

106: Anonymous Fairy

What happens if someone disappear all of the sudden?

Would a black hole appear? Or would the Big Bang occur?

107: Anonymous Fairy

In other words, the mirror itself is a stabilized black hole.

Don’t make me say it. It’s embarra.s.sing.

108: Anonymous Fairy

The mirror’s scarryy~

109: Anonymous Fairy

It was stated in the anime that I watched the other day.

110: Anonymous Fairy

That is to say, the place that 1 had travelled to is Earth in future…..

111: Anonymous Fairy

The same pattern as the Planet of the Apes?

112: Anonymous Fairy

If that is Earth in the future, then the story wouldn’t match.

113: Anonymous Fairy

The story’s not consistent lol.

114: Anonymous Fairy

Boorish.

115: Anonymous Fairy

Isn’t it impossible for modern people?

There’re no electricity, gas or water-service, right?

116: Anonymous Fairy

Couldn’t he treat it as if he’s staying in a villa…..?

117: Anonymous Fairy

There’s a water well for water supply so he would be able to make do with it.

As for the last one, he could generate his own electricity.

118: Anonymous Fairy

Why would he need “self-generated electricity” when he has already bought two slaves…. 5

119: Anonymous Fairy

Not in that way lol

….No wait, do you mean “that”?

120 :１◆Xc544iUoWE  [Jirou]

I’m planning to get three horses.

I’ll be employing someone to care for the horses

>>95

I’m thinking of hiring one

And of course, I’ll have her put on maid’s clothing gufufu

>>102

On the contrary, I have brought back many items from that world to this world…..

>>110

There are two moons here though….

>>115

I think that’s really what gave it the feeling of a villa.

It might actually not be bad living a life without modern conveniences.

121 :１◆Xc544iUoWE  [Jirou]

The people from the other world are not able to come to this world through the mirror

It was a pity since I had thought of having an offline meeting.

If it so happens that there will be two moons in future, I wonder what kind of change it would bring.

I’ll be sending Tos.h.i.+kos.h.i.+ soba to the elves now.

Wis.h.i.+ng you all a Happy New Year~

Phew.

It didn’t seem as if it had become a strange topic on the net yet, but for the sake of getting more CG collections (that’s what they’re called now), I should try getting better photos. Buying a compact digital camera now might not be helpful anymore. I guess I should get an SLR camera instead.

◇◆◆◆◇

“I felt awfully hungry for some reason. I’ll be taking this soba.” [Jirou]

After saying so to my parents, I made Diana and Marina’s portion and secretly brought them back to the mansion to enjoy my second bowl of soba with the two of them.

Diana and Marina seemed to like the soba, as they commented that it tasted delicious. Well, there are noodles that resemble udon, as well as seasonings that are similar to soy sauce in this world, too, so it wasn’t too surprising that they didn’t hate it. There isn’t much difference in terms of taste, and chopsticks are also commonly used there as well.

Ah, that’s right. I’ll need to explain our livelihood and the objective of our activities to them from now on.

1. Otos.h.i.+dama (お年玉) = New Year’s Gift. One of the j.a.panese traditions where the adults in the family give money to the children.

2. ROM = Read Only Member

3. Sas.h.i.+mi Garnish (Sas.h.i.+mi no tsuma) = “Tsuma” is the name of a garnish made of daikon, a big white radish, shredded and arranged on a sas.h.i.+mi platter. Most people don’t eat it or even pay attention to it. Meaning, something that is of no significance and can easily be done without.

4. Anywhere Door = Dokodemo Door (どこでもドア) = he’s referring to the gadget from Doraemon series.

5. 自家発電 is used in both lines but they carry different meanings. It literally means ‘self-generated electricity’ but it could also mean ‘masturbation’ colloquially.

6. ネンゴロ is the raw used here. It’s an archaic word in j.a.panese but I couldn’t find the right English word to rephrase that so I used ‘intimate’ here instead.

7. Sorry, it took me so long to find out that GABAN here actually refers to the pepper brand in j.a.pan >.> . I’ll be retranslating that line in chapter 25 and 39.

8. Shota = Young boys

9. Editor Note: There were a lot of thing that we could have edited within the blog post section. We chose not to. It’s the internet. If there weren’t blatantly obvious grammatical errors, it wouldn’t have felt right. Some were changed for flow, but we left the quality stuff in for you. I mean, who could be bothered to edit stuff on the internet ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) .

10. Potato Note: I was so confused when when i saw some lines in that post section, but then i remember that we’re in the internet… this place is magical.
