Volume 1 Chapter 9 Surprise
"I-I completely missed the start..."
I left the place, feeling envious of those already teaming up to hunt monsters.
After that, I walked around trying to talk to some group, but it was already too late.
However, all the groups had already formed their own close-knit circles (at least, that's how it looked to me), so being the coward I am, I couldn't bring myself to speak up and ended up walking away from everyone.
Trudge trudge...
"Sigh... I thought going over there would help me improve my social skills and make it easier to talk to people... But joining a lively group is still hard for me."
I used to be socially awkward, and I thought that being a hero in another world would have fixed that...
It seems like the problem runs deeper than I thought.
"For now, what should I do...?"
My level has reset to '1'.
In this world, level 1 means I can defeat one slime, but the second one would be a bit tough.
"Are the monsters here as strong as in the other world?"
I had been watching everyone's battles earlier, and the health of the slimes and goblins that were defeated looked about the same as in the other world.
"Unlike the other world, here, only level and skill are shown on the status screen."
In the other world, besides level and skill, things like health and magic, as well as attack and defense power, were also displayed as numbers, making it easier to understand my strength compared to here.
"Does this mean that, depending on how you look at it, the system in the other world is better than here?"
That said, even if I understand it, it doesn't really change anything.
It was at that moment.
""Gugyagyagya...""
"Huh!"
Two goblins appeared right in front of me.
* * *
"Crap!? Goblins! And... two of them!"
Two goblins at level 1 could easily kill me.
"No, what am I even saying!?"
In my confusion, I made a self-commentary while gripping the iron pipe I had prepared as a weapon.
"It's okay... I have the martial arts I gained in that other world. I can definitely do this... I should be able to!"
I really wanted to try it out against a slime first, but... I have no choice.
""Gugyagya...""
The goblin seemed cautious as it watched my stance and didn't attack right away.
"But that doesn't mean I can just stay like this. Anyway, I need to think of something during this idle time..."
While the goblins weren't attacking, I opened my status, hoping to find something to break this situation, even though I only had level one.
"Status!"
Whoosh...
My status appeared in my mind.
"Level 1, no skills. Well, it's the same as my status before teleportation... Huh?"
What is this?

"S-Surprise?"
When I opened my status, I saw something I had never seen before: '
"I-I never saw this before I teleported to this other world... Ah!"
At that moment, an image of the Soggy Goddess saying 'Tehepero!' popped into my mind.
"That goddess... right?"
For now, I don't have time to think slowly since I'm in a fight.
So, I quickly clicked on 'Click here!' under 'Surprise.'
Click!
'Hello! I'm your cute and honey goddess! How are you doing?'
When I clicked, the Soggy Goddess's cheerful greeting suddenly filled my mind.
It seemed her lighthearted tone was still the same.
...The message continued.
'Well, I told Takeru that your level would reset before you go back to the original world, right~? That's definitely true, but there's one thing I didn't tell Takeru~. Hehe... So, what do you think it is~? Do you want to know~? You do, right~? Hmm, but what should I do~?'
So annoying!
In this tense battle situation, this is really annoying.
I only feel killing intent!
'Oh~, you want to know~? Well, I guess I have to tell you~! Actually, the skills, magic, and items that Takeru got in that other world can be brought back to the original world~! Surprise~!'
"...Huh?"
'Yay, I said it~! Takeru, I'm really grateful for all your hard work in that other world~. So, as a special treat, I let you bring back the skills, magic, and items you got over there. It's true~! I'm definitely not thinking, 'I hope you do something fun with that power on Earth~!' (Excited, Sparkling)"
"No, you're excited, aren't you!"
I couldn't help but shout out my thoughts.
The two goblins flinched.
Oh, sorry, I wasn't talking to you guys!
For now, it seemed that my comment made the goblins more on guard, and the standoff continued.
I thought, "This is a good chance," and listened on.
'So, Takeru can act like a fool in the original world too... Oh, my bad, I meant to say you can throw away your restraint and act like a fool...'
Hey, that's even more 'my bad'!
'Using cheats, doing "take that" moves, and pulling off "look what I can do" moves, I'm waiting for my delicious food and drinks (Heart)!'
This goddess... did she plan to make me 'snack for her drinks' in this world too?
'That was your surprise report from your pretty and lovely goddess~! Now, work hard in this world for my snacks~!'
In the end, she boldly said, 'for my snacks' without hiding it.
As always, she's such an annoying Soggy Goddess.
But,
however, it is.
I have a lot of thoughts, but that 'surprise' is really appreciated!
When the Soggy Goddess's message ends, a status screen appears asking, 'Do you want to unlock the skills, magic, and items you gained in another world?'
A popup shows with [Yes][No].
Of course, I press 'Yes' without hesitation.
Whoosh...!
