Isekai Nonbiri Nouka - Chapter 913

My name is 【Result of the Match】.

Skill desu.

Depending on the region, I might be called a Gift or a Talent.

I didn’t have a will of my own before, but recently, I awakened.

My owner is a demon named Sulkar Jandor.

He is striving to become the strongest.

Because of that, he never neglects his daily training.

To make use of my abilities, one must possess considerable strength.

Otherwise, I can only show them a future where they lose.

My owner understands this, so he keeps pushing forward.

As expected of him.

Through various circumstances, my owner is now staying in Village Five.

Since he is particular about food, he seems to have taken a liking to this place, known for its culinary delights.

That being said, eating nothing but ramen every day is a bit much.

No, I never suggested rotating between ramen and grilled meat like this—ramen, grilled meat, ramen, grilled meat.

There are plenty of other options, aren’t there?

Curry, udon, katsudon, karaage, burgers, tempura, grilled fish, seafood barbecue—he said they were all delicious.

...But making cake the main dish is going too far.

Cake is meant to be a treat after a meal.

Even the store clerk said so.

Cake is delicious, but you can’t live on just that.

Also, isn’t he eating more than usual?

He suddenly can’t control his appetite?

...Wait, could this be my fault?

Maybe maintaining my awakened state is making him hungrier.

I apologize.

Can he afford the extra food expenses?

He’s set aside money for lodging, so at least he won’t have to sleep outside, but if his food intake has increased, he should either lower the quality or... Ah, he’s looking for work.

Good luck.

Yes, this is also a match.

I’ll make sure to produce results.

...Eh?

You’re not going to use me for a while?

Ah, because you were warned.

Understood.

I’ll behave myself too.

...

But, why are you using me to pick restaurants?

No, I’ll do my best.

My owner found a job as a martial arts tutor.

He was scouted, so his daily efforts have finally paid off.

As expected of him.

And the one who scouted him—

Not bad for noticing my owner’s potential.

Fufufu.

But I found him first!

Since the moment he was born!

Taking your students out for ramen, grilled meat, ramen, grilled meat on repeat is not okay.

And since you keep going to the same restaurants, you’re not even using me properly anymore.

What’s going on here?

Also, I don’t mind you treating your students, but... aren’t they probably wealthier than you?

They are the children of your employer, after all.

...

Ano, isn’t it a little early to be upgrading your lodgings?

If you plan to settle down in Village Five permanently, wouldn’t it be better to buy a home?

Now is the time to save money.

I understand that, as an adventurer, thinking about the future might seem pointless, but for now, you have a stable income.

That’s quite a large house.

And the yard is spacious too.

...Wait, a brand-new home?

A-Are you sure about this?

Even as someone who prefers homeownership, I’d hesitate at this price.

Oh, it’s significantly discounted.

They’re giving you a special deal because of your tutoring.

I see. In that case, it’s not unaffordable.

But your budget will be stretched thin.

Wouldn’t this be the perfect time to use me to check?

Yes, let’s do that.

Alright, here goes—

Ah...

No good.

I can’t see anything.

Maybe the outcome is too far in the future.

Well, at least it doesn’t look like you’ll regret it anytime soon...

Eh?

You’ve already decided to buy it?

I appreciate the trust, but are you absolutely sure?

Once you buy it, you’ll be stuck living in Village Five for a while.

It’ll be harder to travel and train to become the strongest.

You’re really okay with this?

Ever since buying the house, my owner has been in an exceptionally good mood.

He’s been throwing banquets at home over and over again.

It’s not like he’s making noise late into the night, and since he invites the neighbors, there’s no risk of complaints.

However, he did spend a lot of money on this house, leaving little room for extravagance.

It’s about time he settled down and lived a more stable life, or things might get difficult.

Oh, as expected of my owner.

He actually listened to my advice.

That’s right, that’s right.

Use the yard properly for training.

That’s why you wanted a big yard in the first place, isn’t it?

Keep working toward becoming the strongest.

........

I’ve always known that my owner aims to be the strongest.

But I never knew why.

Today, I found out.

It’s because he wants to be popular.

Yes, he said so himself—to his students, no less.

I see.

It’s natural to be drawn to strong individuals.

Striving to be the strongest isn’t necessarily the wrong approach.

And now, I finally understand why so many of the opponents my owner has used me against were women.

He was hoping to win, showcase his strength, and have them fall for him.

I see, I see.

The fact that not even once has such a convenient outcome occurred is truly a relief.

Yes, truly.

Good job, past-me, back when I had no sense of self!

Hmmmm?

Why do I think that’s a good thing?

And what is this strange feeling in my chest?

Hello!

My name is 【Adviser】.

I used to be 【Result of the Match】.

Yes, I’m a skill.

I’ve evolved.

I never thought it was possible, but with enough effort, it turns out I could do it.

I’m amazing!

And my new ability is to use the same power as 【Result of the Match】 while also providing advice to my owner.

It doesn’t sound much different?

Fair point.

But there is one key change.

I can now take physical form.

I can appear in a human shape.

I can’t stray too far from my owner, but I can materialize freely, regardless of his will.

And my appearance? An unparalleled beauty!

...Is what I wish I could say, but unfortunately, I look like a five-year-old child.

Maybe it’s because I haven’t had a self for very long.

Or perhaps it’s because I’ve only just evolved?

The world doesn’t always work out the way you want it to.

However, by staying close to my owner, the chances of him becoming popular have decreased.

Fufufu.

Oh, but this isn’t out of spite.

If he doesn’t get popular, he’ll keep striving to become even stronger.

And I want my owner to be the strongest.

So this is just my way of cheering him on.

Now, my dear owner!

Let’s do our best today as well!

For today’s meal, ramen sounds good.

When I’m in my physical form, my owner doesn’t have to eat my portion.

I can eat it myself.

I may look like a child, but I eat as much as an adult, so people tend to be surprised.

Now that I’m eating on my own, I can see why the ramen, barbecue, ramen, barbecue rotation is so appealing.

It’s hard to resist.

Huh?

You’ll give me a shoulder ride?

Yay!

I can’t see the result of my own battles, but I’m sure the future is bright.

Sulkar: I woke up... and there was a little girl...

My health has improved considerably.

I’ll do my best.
