Finding Your Way Home In Another World With The Gender Change Skill/Shadow & The Jester [Remake]
Chapter 43: Information About Skills, Job Classes and Status

In a forest that looks very dark and only filled with large trees. There were two people who were moving very fast, both of them were now running towards somewhere while each of them was holding someone.

☆-----___-----___-----☆

Souji POV

It's been 4 hours since Niji and I ran south. We both still keep running because we still have not found a suitable place to be used as a place to rest. And now the sky had started to turn orange-colored.

I slightly raised my head to look at the setting sun, although there were a lot of trees blocking the phenomenon, however, I can still see it because of my increased vision due to something called a skill that exists in this world.

I was actually a little wondering, what the true function of this Skill, Job Class and status was. If indeed a position in the sequence is only from a Job Class that is owned by an individual.

Then what if a crown prince of a kingdom gets a Job Class peasant? Will he be in a stranger later, or maybe there is a way to change what is called Job Class?

I honestly tried asking Heavenly-san that a while ago, but he just said that I still don't deserve to know that, when I heard such an answer from her, I began to confine my intention to ask further.

Due to his usual Heavenly-san will start playing the sound of forks and plates which makes my head become extremely throbbing, it's just an experience that I got when I started to force her to tell me how to get back to Japan.

To be honest I'm still very confused, does he really have an ego? Then is a Skill that has an ego that is commonly possessed by people? The answer is of course NOT.

If anyone were to wonder, why would I be so confident about it, it was actually because I had already asked Niji about a Skill that had an ego, and do you know how to answer him?

Yes, instead of answering that, Niji instead started staring at me with disdain and he immediately started lecturing about annoying things like don't despair or whatever it is, he said, he said that while looking at me with pity eyes.

Because I couldn't help myself not to get upset, so I directly hit her head very hard which caused her to become squeamish, and that's why I had to try all sorts of ways to cheer her up for 30 minutes more.

Yes, although at the end of the day what Niji asked for was S*X with me, and when I heard her request, it was, I could only nod in resignation and start thinking about the reason why he wanted to do that with someone like me.

Yes, because it is usually done by someone who loves each other, plus we both just met for a few hours, and how could she ask a stranger she just met a few hours ago to have S*X with her.

It really makes me upset. I began to wonder, was Niji playing around with me? Is after we do intimate things she'll start saying things about rape and others, then he will make my reputation destroyed in this world like Saki did?

When I started to remember Saki, somehow my chest started to hurt again, if anyone asked me if I liked Saki or not, then I will immediately answer him honestly, if I used to like him, but, now that love has turned into hatred.

My hatred for Saki may be almost equivalent to my hatred for my father. By the time I started to remember my father, I immediately bit my lower lip until it bled.

...

Unbeknownst to Souji, Niji and Miyuki began to look at him anxiously, both of them became very anxious because they saw the atmosphere owned by Souji suddenly turned very gloomy, the anxiety of the two of them was aggravated again at the time when blood began to flow from Souji's lips.

However, a second later the blood instantly disappeared and the atmosphere possessed by Souji suddenly returned as before, the two people who were watching Souji were very surprised when they saw that.

Niji and Miyuki began to wonder if this man who was in front of them both had some sort of dual personality? However, the two of them decided not to ask Souji and waited for him to tell them.

...

Fortunately my recovery skill had already leveled up before him, otherwise, the two of them might just start worrying about me.

Well then, let's get back to the topic before that. After I managed to calm Niji down, I managed to get some pretty useful information from him.

Actually I've been expecting this since Niji stated that he was a Dragon, so I'm now quite happy to get a library running like him, because Niji had said before, if he had read all the books in the world, and for that reason he said that he knew almost everything about the world.

Except for knowledge that is in a place that is referred to as [Tower of Knowledge] or [Akashic Records]. To be honest with the name alone I can already imagine what the place looks like, I am 100% sure if I tell Natsuki-san about this place, he would have dragged me to accompany him there.

Yes, if indeed the place is like what I imagine, then the place must be his store of all knowledge in the world, I just hope, I just hope, there is a way to get back to Japan.

If there's no way back in that place....

I immediately shook my head to throw away such thoughts.

What are you thinking Shimotsuki Souji!! You mustn't be pessimistic before you look for her!! Also, now is not the time to think about such things, I should now focus on my current goal!!

After about 1 minute more, I finally managed to calm myself down. Then I started to recall the answer given by Niji, when I asked about this thing called Skill, Job Class and Status.

From the answer to that I can conclude, that this Skill is more like an item that helps living things.

For example we take the lamp, this lamp has a function to help humans see in the dark, if the lamp on Earth suddenly disappears, then the entire Earth will be covered by darkness.

On the other hand, even though in this world the civilization is still very far behind compared to Earth, however, this world also has something similar like a lamp, that is [Light Magic] or more accurately it is [Torch], which is a level 1 spell of [Light Magic].

For example, if a Crown Prince of a Kingdom obtains a Job Class [Farmer], then that person will usually be instantly alienated or he will be killed right then and there, too, then his position as Crown Prince will be replaced by his younger brother.

Because of that, you could say that the thing called Job Class is just a chain that binds someone, why can I say so, so, that is because if there is a human who has a dream to become a knight and has been practicing for years, however, the, Just because the Job Class possessed by him was not suitable at all to fight, that person had to be willing to lose his dream.

Honestly, I really hate the same thing called Job Class, it's like a cage that encloses all living things in this world, that's why I really hate this thing called Job Class.

The latter is Status, the thing called this status in my opinion is a kind of AI that helps living things to know about themselves in numerical form.

My conclusion is like his reinforced by the conclusion of Niji about this Status, he said that this thing called Status is a kind of tool that helps a living being to know the strength of his own body in the form of numbers.

Wellh those three things are indeed very similar to the system of the mmorpg that I usually play right, It's just different if what I play is just a game and if my character dies, he will return to respawn.

While the thing that is not now, here if you die means you are really dead and can not be lived again, because of that hall I can conclude that the person who made this system is still a useless NEET who has played various genres of games with RPG systems.

Good for now let's forget about it first and go back seriously to find a place to rest, because soon it will get darker.

With such thoughts in mind, I began to expand my Detection range to find a suitable place for us to occupy.

Ohh yes if to be honest, this Dark Elf girl I was carrying was actually awake from about 1 hour ago, I don't know why she was still pretending to be asleep, I don't know, maybe I should ask that later.

At the moment I was thinking about it, Heavenly-san suddenly told me, if he had found a place that looked suitable to be used as a resting place.

When I heard that, I immediately told Niji and Miyuki, then when I saw the agreement of the two of them, I started to speed up my footsteps.

☆-----___-----___-----☆

Somewhere that looks like a prison, there are 5 people who are in one of the prisons.

5 The people in the prison were 5 girls, which if viewed well, the five of them had a very beautiful face that could make even a Goddess of beauty embarrassed.

“I hope Shimotsuki-kun is okay” Say one of the girls who is there in a very worried tone of voice while staring towards the ceiling.

This girl looks like a 17-year-old teenager with long black hair, which is scattered everywhere and this girl also has very beautiful Indian red eyes.

The girl next to him had long dark blue hair tied with a ponytail to the side, with eyes that also had the same color as her hair, and this girl also has an oval-shaped eyeglass that has some cracks in her glass. The girl opened her mouth and said.

“Yahh..

However, the words of this dark blue haired girl were cut off by one of her other girls.

“There is no way Sou-chan will escape!!” Shouted the crimson-haired girl in an angry tone of voice while clenching her hands.

All the girls who were there instantly became very surprised by the screams of this crimson haired girl.

Then the girl who looked the oldest among them started to open her mouth to speak.

“Ke-why do you believe so much about it Miyouji-kun?” Said the girl who had eyes and long hair that were both black with worry.

Not only him, everyone who was there also turned their eyes to this crimson-haired girl and looked at her anxiously.

After a pause for a while, this crimson haired girl finally started to open her mouth and said.

“That's because it's impossible for Sou-chan to escape and die for us, he's the dumbest person the world knows, so stupid he will even still help someone who has even been rude and insulting her all-out” Said the Crimson-haired girl with an anxious tone while starting to have teary eyes.

“I'm sure once, he is now running around this forest to find the whereabouts of us” The crimson-haired girl continued with a depressed tone while tightening her fist until it bled.

Everyone who heard that, immediately became very moody, because what this crimson haired girl said, was indeed the truth.

This person they were talking about was indeed a very good person, no, very well not enough to describe the nature of this person, more precisely his is a person who is too good.

All of them who were here had been saved by him, although all of them at the beginning had always treated this person very badly, however, they were all at the beginning, this person did not have any grudges against them, instead this person instead helped them without asking for anything in return.

Because of that, each of them all had feelings for this black-haired boy, they all knew their own feelings towards this black-haired boy, however, this person they were talking about was a person who was very insensitive to their feelings.

Although they all used to compete with each other to get the attention of this black-haired boy, however, the, now they forgot all about it and prayed that this black-haired boy would not come to this place.

But alas, the prayers of all of them would not come true, as this black-haired boy they were talking about, was now devising a strategy to save them.
