Chapter 24: Temporary Yurt and Continent Map

Clak!

The sound of burning wood lowly echoed from the bonfire under the cold night. the bonfire made the cold night a little warmer as well as dimly illuminated the dark wilderness with an oranges hue radiated by its dim light.

CLK!

I sat in front of the bonfire while reading the Basic Civil Engineering book that I bought with Online Shopping skill. With 1 hand holding the book and another one holding a flashlight at the same time, I read the book leisurely while using the flashlight to help me reading the page in this dim wilderness.

I considered myself as someone who not bright at studying, but at this moment, somehow I could easily understand all the physical theory and formula in the book

"Did my INT stats help me study easier?" its what I thought when all the knowledge inside the book being absorbed like a sponge inside my head

[If I have this ability on earth, at that time when I was in high school, I could get the 1st rank easily for sure!...

Ck! recalling the high school left me bad after taste after remembering the smug bastards! better stop thinking about this, sigh...]

I sighed after remembering all the red marks on my test paper as well as the smug bastards who always looking down at me when I was still at high school on earth. remembering them, somehow I could understand their behavior. they just relieve after seeing someone worse than themselves as it made them feel better...

anyway, I stopped thinking about the bitter memory from my past world as it didn't matter to me anymore since I already left that world. 

it would be better for me to recall anything else... Yes! like when the first time I arrived at this place...

*flashback several hours ago-----

After clearing all the monsters in the surrounding area and set a permanent illusive barrier in this spot, I proceed by building a big Mongolian tent or you could call it yurt that I bought with my Online Shopping skill, after.

As expected they sold it as a set altogether with its guidebook to make the customer could install the yurt easier. I build the yurt with Chali helps by following the instructions from the guide book, step by step.

Somehow Chali got curious after looking at my appearance that built the yurt while reading the guidebook at the same time and decided to take a peek at the guidebook on my hand before trying to read it herself.

I was so surprised after knowing that she could read the book written in alphabet letters smoothly! I asked her how she could do it excitedly and get her explanation after that.

Apparently, after she looked at the letter, the language information suddenly flowed inside her head like memories as it made her read and understood what was written in the book. 

Th-that's exactly the same experience I got after I first arrived at Arkhaim town before!

Like Chali, For some reason, I could understand this world language like how She could understand and read the alphabet words in the guide book in my hand.

After thinking about this for a while and checked the skill that I had at the same time. Somehow, I affirmed my conclusion that this phenomenon happened because of one of the new skills I got.

My first and only suspect is this unknown skill!

Otherwolder[???] : explore yourself!! don't be lazy!!!

Party member list : [Alex] [Chaliope]

To confirmed Chali's ability to read and understand my world language, I decided to buy a woman magazine with my Online Shopping skill for her. 

After a while, I saw her reads the magazine casually with a fascinated expression plastered on her face. I wanted to take the magazine back but after seeing her interestingly reads the magazine, I smiled at her in the end and told her to keep the magazine and reads it after she helped me to build the yurt. 

Even though I loved her, it didn't mean that I would spoil her every time. She still has the duty as my companion to help me at the time that I needed it.

Somehow I could hear someone said "SIMP!!" to me inside my mind! Who is it!! come ouut!!

Whatever, I admitted that I was indeed simping HOLOL** IVE member when I was still on earth! what ?! problem?! how dare you not simping the Crazy and wholesome Usagi PEKO***RA CHAN!! NOE**L BOOBS NUMBER 1!!! oh! don't forget the lewd BOOMER pirate MARIN***E!! and as the wise ELITE SAKUR*A MIK*O saying, FAQ ALL!!

Sigh... remembering about it, somehow I missed the girls a lot now.. even tho the life here is more fulfilling and exciting, but I still missed the internet... it's good if I could subscribe to some internet provider with my Online Shopping skill...

Even though I could buy a lot of earth product, there is some item that Online shopping didn't have, like Illegal drug, gun, and military thing, etc.

For some whatever reason, the Online Shopping skill sold live poultry and livestock like sheep and cows! how the hell they send it to another world!! as expected of Mythical skill! no wonder that Chali never heard about this rating!!

Anyway, I continued to build the yurt with Chali and bought some simple furniture to decorate the yurt. after finishing the yurt the sun started to set and the sky became darker. Looking at Chali excitedly taking the magazine I stopped her and give her a paper and pen and asked her to draw the map in this continent first. Seeing that she couldn't read the magazine yet, she dejectedly took the pen and paper and started to draw the map on the table inside the yurt. 

While Chali doing her job, I, on the other hand, proceed to install the chargeable lamps in the yurt to brighten the yurt interior. with this, Chali could draw the map more comfortably.

After I feel like got nothing to do, I recalled how slow and amateurish I am, at that time when I was building the yurt. I started to think it'll better for me to read some books about basic civil engineering and Architecture if I want to build a more sophisticated mansion tomorrow as I didn't shit about engineering at all! and here I am, reading the book outdoor while enjoying some warmness radiated by the bonfire leisurely...

[did she already finished drawing the map? why was she so quiet all of a sudden?]

[anyway let's check her out!]

I turn off the flashlight before putting it inside of my inventory skill. I entered the yurt and saw Chali who was reading the magazine interestingly with a fascinated face, this woman!

I moved closer to her chair silently before hitting her head lightly with the book in my hand in a playful manner. she flinched in surprise and holding her head charmingly after feeling something hitting her head

[M-master~ sorry, I already finished the map but after looking at master that still reading the book seriously, I didn't dare to bother master~ so...]

I patted her head and rubbing her hair gently after seeing her pitiful expression

[okay okay~ stop panicking, I just teasing you. anyway, just give me the map and you could continue reading your magazine, don't worry I will buy more magazine for you later if you doing your duty seriously okay~hohohoh~]

[umm.. here is the map, and thank you for the magazine, it's really interesting.. somehow I get a lot of references to boost my sexual appeal and some skincare product information to make myself more beautiful. With this, I could "satisfy" my master better~huhuhu~]

Chali give me the map and winked her eyes seductively after saying the "Satisfy" word. This enchantress! just wait! I will "deal" with you tonight!!

I took the map from Chali's hands and sat on the bed comfortably. I started to read the map carefully and get the gist of this continent's geography after a while. the map Chali drew is quite simple but it still very informative.

[Umu... So Arkham mountain is located in the middle of this continent, the Garham Kingdom in the east, the Baltimore empire occupied the South and west, Arshlan dukedom in the northwest, and the Yakshire Kingdom in the north]

After roughly understand the territory of each kingdom I started checking the political condition in each country that Chali wrote under the map. in the notes, written that she got the information from the new slaves that arrived into the madam Catherine's Store from time to time.

It seems Arshlan Dukedom is governed by the two powerful Granddukes namely Grandduke [Fafnir Gowells] the head of the Lycan's clan and Grandduchess [Alucard de Maria] the lord of the Vampire race. 

The two have the same power level and always maintained a balanced state in the Arshlan Dukedom. it seems they both are very strong that even grandmasters didn't dare to be impolite with the two of them. 

The inhabitants of their territory mostly from the Beastman race that lead by their own respective Chieftain.

[Alucard de Maria, somehow my Milf radar told me that she is in my strike zone mweheheheh..]

I continued reading the notes while imagining the bewitching mature body of that Vampire duchess.

For the information about the Baltimore Empire, The emperor seems sick and paralyzed as he was unable to continue his duty as the emperor. the crown prince [Eric von Baltimor], seemingly wanted to take the emperor duty but got so many oppositions from the minister and the other princes, as the emperor himself didn't appoint anyone who will replace him, maybe, it'll better that I said he couldn't pointing anyone as he was always staying in his bed all the time after being paralyzed.

The crown prince tried to make huge achievements by taking the Gharam empire southern border territory to boost his prestige and gain more power to convince the opposition faction in the empire

Yakshire Kingdom, Lead by the charismatic Queen Harmonie I, just ascended the throne 3 years ago after being appointed by the last old King before he passed away. It seems the prince and all the male royal blood that was supposed to succeed the kingdom died mysteriously, the rumor said that it was the Baltimore Empire who sent the Assassins to purge the royal blood.

As the political condition in the Yakshire Kingdom, recently there was some rebellion movement that tried to change the matriarchal system back to the old patriarchal system. these movements were rumored to be led by the old aristocrat of Yakshire Kingdom. it seems it's quite unstable in there now.

Gharam Kingdom, The King himself Gharam the III suddenly got poisoned and sick... this bullshit again...

Anyway, the king seems appointed the crown prince to temporarily replaced him but, somehow, he got Assassinated by his own maid after a while, as for the maid, she committed suicide after killing the crown prince that night... sigh...

The royal palace seems became unstable now and there was a rumor that a lot of old aristocrats started plotting each other behind the scene into these game of thrones inside the Gharam Kingdom.

[What the heck!! it's clearly someone trying to destroy the power balance between the kingdom and spread chaos behind the scenes!! did someone planning for huge chaos to happen and fishing in the muddy water?]

I stroke my chin while thinking about who got the most benefit if huge chaos did really happen?

[Bah! it's not my problem anyway, why should I care about who got the most benefit of it! I just wanted to live in this world leisurely, enjoying travel and sightseeing this fantasy world with Chali as I slowly build my harem while at it!]

[Whoever you are, it's better you didn't mess up with me. even though I am still weak now and trying to get lowkey after seeing Madam Catherine's stats and power, but if you dare to touch me and my women I will destroy you for sure!]

sigh...

[Anyway, let's eat dinner first! I am too lazy to cook something, let's order some KF*C fried chicken!]

I ordered 2 buckets of fried chicken and 2 large fries. I'm not in the mood for drinking soda now, lets buy some thai-tea!!

After ordering the foods and beverages, I called Chaliope who still enjoy reading the magazine in her hand. she looks at the fried-chicken buckets curiously and started to eats the fried chicken after smelling the tempting aroma from it.

Her eyes started to lit up as she ate the fried chicken in delight with a bewitching smile plastered on her face!

[Is it delicious, Chali?]

[It's very delicious! master, isn't it'll be better if we just eat this fast food thing every day?]

[Nah, we can eat it once in a while, it's not good for your body if you eat fast food every day]

[huh? why? master move your body by hunting monster often right? anyway, if the master status is high enough there is no chance for your body to get sick, except after getting poisoned and because of old age~]

Huh? is that seriously such a thing in this fantasy world?! but still eating fast foods every single day is... as expected is kinda....

[it still no! just imagined it made me want to puke, anyway, I want to enjoy cooking together with Chali from time to time, isn't that good?]

[um~]

Somehow I could feel like she didn't hear me at all and just nodded unconsciously. Anyway, looking at her eating the fried chicken in her hands in happiness, somehow, it's really brightened my mood greatly.

'did she like fried chickens that much?'
