《Reincarnated as a Lawnchair, I sit back and Relax as my Harem does the Work!》 Cutting Grass is my True Calling It¡¯s Early in the morning, too early for the sun to be up, but late enough for people to start their day. A bedroom lingering in still darkness, clothes strewn across the floor, a man, 20, seen still in bed. An alarm buzzes, the digital clock reading 5:30AM. An arm reaches from the covers to silence the alarm, missing multiple times, then finally silencing it. A head peeks through the covers, seeing the time on the clock, then exhaling in despair. Damn clock¡¯s broken again. He pulls the covers back over his face, then starts to doze off, sleeping once more until the time is right. A few hours pass, with the sun finally rising and gleaming through the blinds of his room. A ray of light then aligns with his face, and he shields his eyes by rolling over to escape the sunlight. He rolls to his left, not stopping at the edge of the bed and falling flat on the floor with a THUNK The man shoots awake, trying to play off the fall but clearly in some pain. He rubs his eyes then looks over at his clock, a look of concern washing over his face. Shit. I¡¯m gonna be late. He scrambles to find his work uniform, a red collared shirt and black shorts, with each having a crest and logo for a company called ¡°Lawnshare¡±. The man heads into the bathroom and brushes his teeth, and style the mess of hair that¡¯s on top of his head. I don¡¯t hate working, I really don¡¯t. The Job¡¯s not too bad, and the pay is enough for me. The man spits out the toothpaste in his mouth, and rinses his mouth, looking in the mirror to see his own reflection. I just thought I¡¯d have more time off. There¡¯s always something more to do, none of them ever being the last. I¡¯d thought I could have relaxed every once in a while, y¡¯know? Like a beach day, or a night out. The man puts a nametag on, reading Chibafu Isu. He¡¯s about to leave his apartment, when he hears his phone ringing and goes to pick up what he¡¯d almost forgotten. But the lawns always call. I am the one who shall answer the call. They beckon to be mowed, and I, Chibafu Isu, am the only one who can satiate this need. He makes it outside, getting in his car and driving to his workplace, indicated by a massive sign outside of the building. Chibafu walks inside, grabbing a new set of keys that are hanging from a board, and checks in with the secretary. ¡°Which lawn must I mo-*Cough* where¡¯s my first job today?¡± Chibafu asks after correcting his manner of talking ¡°It¡¯s That house again¡± the secretary replies, in a warning tone. Chibafu is stunned for a moment, before finishing the talk with a sarcastic¡°Great. Can¡¯t wait.¡± Chibafu heads for the door, entering a company car, then driving into a higher-class neighbourhood. This is my punishment for being late. Hopefully her kids aren¡¯t here this time He starts to have flashbacks of the last time he went to this lady¡¯s residence, the kids throwing smaller pebbles at his while he was moving the lawn. He rubs his head in remembrance of this pain, preparing for the worst as he pulls into the driveway. As he exits the car, the woman is standing at her front porch, already in a sour mood ¡°You¡¯re 7 minutes late! I hope that difference comes out of your paycheck!¡± the woman yells at Chibafu. Chibafu bows in apology, then opens the back of the car to get the mower out of it, then moves it onto the lawn. As he grabs the safety equipment from the car, he spots the woman¡¯s 2 little boys inside the house, and sighs in disappointment at this revelation.If you stumble upon this narrative on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen from Royal Road. Please report it. Just don¡¯t throw rocks at me again. They hurt me, for one, but they also damage the equipment! Chibafu recalls his boss¡¯s words ¡°These things cost a fortune to buy and maintain, so don¡¯t damage them, no matter what!¡± in a stern tone, still shaking Chibafu to his core Chibfau puts on the noise-cancelling headphones and protective glasses, starting up the lawnmower and getting to work. The loud mowing noises are heard inside by the 2 boys, who then dart outside to see what¡¯s going on. They smile in sadistic pleasure as they reach in their garden and prepare to fire off their ammunition. The pebbles begin flying in, hitting the equipment and Chibafu, not really hurting since they¡¯re pebbles, but the damage wasn¡¯t physical for the rocks. It was the act of hating someone so much before you even know them to harass them. That¡¯s what hurt the most. Chibafu notices he¡¯s about to run over some of the rocks, so he sets the mower in park and goes to pick them up. The kids notice this, the older looking one grabbing a huge rock, the younger one looking a bit concerned but not enough to stop him from what he¡¯s about to do. The older boy throws this rock, but thankfully it misses Chibafu. The older one has a look of frustration, while the younger one is more relieved than anything. The rock hadn¡¯t finished its journey yet. No, it was about to start another one, a great journey in fact. The massive rock flies through the air, hitting the lawnmower and shifting the gear so hard it changes from parked to neutral, beginning to roll slightly forward. Chibafu is blissfully unaware about the current situation, but he¡¯s just happy to not have rocks thrown at him anymore. He raises his head to see what the kids are doing now, but they¡¯re looking on in horror at him, Chibafu confused at this. He turns his head to the lawnmower, it is now less than a centimeter away from him, then¡­poof. All the noise stops. All colors fade, nothing is visible, at least, not for Chibafu. An empty void fills the space around him. Did I die? Wait¡­ A blue spirit, resembling Chibafu, not looking sad but more straight-faced ¡­is this all it took to get a vacation day? The spirit begins to smile and celebrate, soaking up as much of this as possible. He kicks back, sitting on an imaginary chair and dozes off, just happy he doesn¡¯t have to work. A few moments pass, with a hole opening up in the void he was in, the light hitting his face similarly to how it did in the morning. Distant trumpets are heard, with an angel descending to meet Chibafu¡¯s surroundings now being white, cloudy, ethereal-looking. Chibafu¡¯s spirit regains the human form it once had, with white clothes on, now being face to face with an angel. This angel looks pretty¡­old. The old angel stands in solidarity for a moment, then bursts out in laughter, with Chibafu¡¯s complete confusion. The angel begins rolling on the ground, laughing to the point of tears, Chibafu watching on in confusion ¡°What are you¡­?¡± Chibafu asks, confused at this reaction ¡°The angel completely stops in his tracks, slowing looking to Chibafu once more, then laughing even harder and rolling even more. Chibafu looks completely disinterested in this, so he turns to a lone door in the clouds with a neon ¡°EXIT¡± sign above it. As he takes a step toward it, the angel finally calms down, getting up and finally speaking to Chibafu. ¡°Apologies, young man¡± ¡°For what?¡± Chibafu retorts ¡°Well¡­you see¡­¡± The angel begins to crack up again slightly at the memory ¡°The way you died was¡­just so¡­stupid¡± the angel says to Chibafu, trying his hardest to hold back laughter, but a smile and a few chuckles break through. ¡°THIS SHOULD BE A TIME OF MOURNING NOT SOME COMEDY SPECIAL¡± Chibafu angrily states. The angel clears his throat, then begins the whole ¡°you¡¯ve been selected¡± speech ¡°As reprementions for our reactions, we have decided to allow you to reincarnate into another world. A world where anything is possible. A world where magic and monsters exist, where fantasy is reality. What do you say?¡± Chibafu is ecstatic at this proposal, his eyes gleaming with excitement ¡°ARE YOU BEING SERIOUS!!!?!?!?¡± Chibafu asks the angel. The angel smiles, then nods in agreement. Chibafu begins a rant about his past life, and what is hopes for the next one are ¡°In this next life I want to relax the best I possibly can, chill to the maximum amount, no work required! I also want to¡­.¡± Chibfau continues the rant, the words coming out of focus as the angel comes into focus. The angel yawns, sticking his pinkie into his ear and cleaning it, then looking at his earwax on his finger, blowing it away into the clouds. He then pulls out a flip phone with angel wings on it, beginning to text someone, this while time Chibafu thinking the angel was listening. The angel lets out a chuckle, Chibafu stopping his rant momentarily ¡°Are you even listening?¡± ¡°Of course I am!¡± the angel replies nicely, tucking his phone into his pocket. Chibafu continues his rant ¡°Like I was saying, I don¡¯t want anything to do with that stupid company lawnshare, or any of their people for that matter!¡± The angel is back on his phone, then waving his hand, replying back in a disinterested tone ¡°Lawnchair, huh? I¡¯ve heard weird reincarnation requests¡± A bright white light envelopes Chibafu, him looking up and preparing for his next life. But then, the words of the angel suddenly reach him. ¡°Wait¡­YOU MADE ME A WHAT??!?!¡± The angel is still on his phone, waving goodbye to Chibafu but not actually looking at him, just looking at his phone. ¡°Now enjoy your trip to the land of..whatever he can¡¯t hear me anymore¡± the angel says to Chibafu, in a distracted tone, not really caring anymore. ¡°YOU WEREN¡¯T PAYING ATTENTION YOU LIAR!¡± Chibafu screams back, and just as he finishes that sentence, his body is fully transported to the other world. A forest, filled with life, bird chirping, the wind swaying the leaves and grass, a beautiful sight to see to anyone who¡¯s been outside. And to bring it all together¡­a lawn chair rests in the thicket of this forest, blending in to the surroundings, attempting to fit in as though it was as natural as the rest of the life around it. All things considered, this isn¡¯t as bad as I thought it would be. Sit on Me, Please Chibafu sits in the middle of the forest, the lawnchair trying (but not succeeding) at looking natural in this place. Insects are flying about, some smaller mammals crawling about too. I mean¡­the forest is pretty relaxing. A grasshopper jumps onto Chibafu, sitting on the seat part. ¡°Man, I don¡¯t wanna go back to my wife later, she¡¯s gonna be pissed!¡± Who said that? Am I already going crazy? Chibafu focuses on the grasshopper sitting on him, then hearing the voice again. ¡°I mean, she can¡¯t blame me right? How was I supposed to know that was her brother and not her?!¡± Chibafu then realizes the voice is from the grasshopper, but when he does the grasshopper jumps off of him and skitters away. So¡­I can read minds? Why would I want to read a bug¡¯s mind, or know about their marriage problems¡­ Out of nowhere, a UI appears in front of Chibafu, hovering in the air. Oh, I see now¡­It¡¯s one of Those other worlds. The UI remains floating, and Chibafu takes another look at it, reading the contents. Skill: Interpersonal Telepathic Communication: Allows any person who has made physical contact with the user to hear the user¡¯s voice in their mind, and communicate with them. For Lingering effects, both parties must be willing. Skill: Unlimited Warranty: Any hits are fixed to pristine condition within 2 minutes. Chibafu understands these, then the screen rolls down to the last skill. Skill: Fold: Fold. What does that even mean? Do I just¡­ Chibafu folds into storage mode of the lawn chair, then flopping to the ground. ¡­Makes sense. Chibafu makes peace with this stance, on the floor and not moving, when out of nowhere, a shockwave crashes through the forest with a loud BOOOOOOOM following it. The author''s tale has been misappropriated; report any instances of this story on Amazon. What the hell could¡¯ve made that noise? We look onward, toward a team fighting a group of strong-looking magical wolves. A wizard with a huge hat looks toward the wolves surrounding them, then back at their group. ¡°I don¡¯t wanna die here! I don¡¯t want my obituary to say ¡°Mauled by some low-level beasts!¡± The wizard frantically screeches, the group looking at him in confusion. The wizard then looks at the ground, and with one last glance gives his groups a peace sign, then pulls out a scroll with a triangular pattern, then a white light envelops him, and he vanishes into thin air. ¡°WHAT THE HELL MAN!!??!¡± A female warrior cries out, angry at the actions of the wizard, but the wolves approach. The last 2 now back to back, the other being a female, blonde hair and has longer ears, an indication of her lineage as an elf. ¡°You know what? Now¡¯s a better time than ever¡­¡± The female warrior turns to face the elf, going down on one knee, the elf looking shocked at this. Even the wolves are shocked at this, them looking puzzled at this sight. ¡°Will you do me the honor¡­.¡± The elf woman gets flustered, her face growing red. ¡°...of being bait so I can leave?¡± The elf woman looks stunned at this, the warrior woman running away as the wolves remain shocked at this turn of events. The wolves snap back to reality, walking in on the last person of the team, the elf. The elf, in shambles, gets up to stand her ground. She then points her finger to something unseen in the forest ¡°WHAT¡¯S THAT???!¡± The wolves glance to where she was pointing, seeing nothing. The wolves then look back, and the elf woman is on the run, heading into the forest. The wolves reposition their gazes to the girl, and begin their pursuit. The elf continues running, frantically looking around and screaming. ¡°SOMEBODY?!? ANYBODY?!? HELP ME?!?¡± She looks in the woods, her gaze scattering about to find something or someone to help her, then she sees Chibafu. He¡¯s far from the path, and something seems to be sitting on him but she can¡¯t make out what it says. Her face gets confused, but she never stops running forward. She looks to her right again, shocked to see Chibafu again, only he¡¯s moved closer to the path. She continues to run away, the wolves still hot on her trail. She moves forward, her pace slowing down, and the wolves growing closer. She looks again to her right, and this time Chibafu is right next to the trail she¡¯s running, and the sign is fully visible. ¡°Sit on me¡± ¡°What? No way am I sitting on this random piece of junk!¡± She runs forward once more, and finally Chibafu is in front of her on the trail. The sign now says something different. ¡°Sit on me, please¡± The elf turns around, seeing there¡¯s not much distance between her and the wolves now, and decides to take the chance and sit on him. ¡°Thank you, for trusting me¡± The words echo in the elf¡¯s mind, but no voice is externally heard. ¡°How do you think we should get out of this?¡± the elf asks Chibafu ¡°Fight them off, you can do it¡± ¡°How should I do that? I dropped my sword back there¡± the elf girl asks, her tone panicking as the wolves are almost here. ¡°Use me¡± ¡°Excuse me?¡± ¡°You heard me. Use me as your weapon¡± ¡°Are you sure? Won¡¯t that hurt you?¡± the elf asks, scared she might hurt her new companion. ¡°It¡¯s okay, I have unlimited warranty.¡± Chibafu reassures her ¡°Unlimited warra-...alright then if you say so¡± the elf takes the initiative, and picks up Chibafu. The elf swings Chibafu around like a professional wrestler, the wolves being culled one at a time through sheer blunt force. The elf kills 2 of the wolves, and the other 3 turn tail and run away to protect themselves. The elf woman puts Chibafu down, sitting on the ground out of pure exhaustion. ¡°Thanks for helping me¡­.uhhh¡± ¡°Chibafu Isu¡­and you are?¡± ¡°Elfana Tia¡± The elf replies, a grateful smile on her face. This name brought only a single thought to Chibafu¡¯s mind. Yep. It¡¯s one of THOSE isekais. Chair Art On-Lawn Chibafu and Elfana are walking through the forest, well, in Chibafu¡¯s case he¡¯s just kinda¡­sliding across the ground. ¡°So, what¡¯s the land like here? Is it repeating forest for miles, or are we heading somewhere specific?¡± Chibafu questions, Elfana looking up to think. ¡°There¡¯s a town nearby actually! We¡¯re about an hour or so away though¡­¡± Elfana replies, looking tired. ¡°What¡¯s this town like?¡± Elfana thinks back to the town, spacing out and stopping in her tracks. ¡°It¡¯s¡­a town, that¡¯s for sure¡± I mean, that¡¯s a bit obvious. That pause probably means she¡¯s not too fond of the town, or maybe the people in it¡­ ¡°Is something the matter?¡± Chibafu asks Elfana, curious about her opinion on the town. Elfana pauses for a moment, hesitant to say anything just yet, but breaks the silence. ¡°They don¡¯t really like elves there, but other towns are just too far away to go alone¡± So that¡¯s how it is then, huh? Elves were treated as high god-like beings in my old world, albeit fictional. They continue their track toward the town, finally making it there, Elfana walking a bit ahead of Chibafu, a big and grateful smile on her face. ¡°As a show of my thanks, would you like me to show you around the town? I know quite a bit about this place, after all¡± ¡°That sounds great! You¡¯re pretty helpful, you know that?¡± Elfana blushes for a moment, then brushes this comment off, going closer to Chibafu ¡°C-Consider it repayment, for saving me that is.¡± Elfana blurts out, her voice cracking while trying to change the subject. She begins to lead Chibafu around the town, her getting detestable looks from everyone around. Regardless of this, she leads Chibafu with a smile, happy to be his guide in this foreign land (and world, for that matter). They approach a busy market, with people using some weird type of currency to pay for goods. ¡°What¡¯s that they¡¯re using to pay?¡± ¡°Oh, you mean ounses? Those are pretty common currency everywhere¡± Elfana replies hastily, trying to be as helpful to him as possible. Chibafu focuses on a woman, paying for a bag of apples, handing over a large brown-ish coin and a few smaller ones. The shopkeeper thanks her for her patronage. So if a bag of 12 apples is 1 large ounse and a handful of smaller, give or take 4, then that means that each small one is worth¡­ Chibafu pauses for a moment in place, stopping his train of thought. Wait! I¡¯m dead! I don¡¯t care about that currency anymore! ¡°Is something wrong, Chibafu?¡± Elfana asks, curious as to why he stopped moving and talking, a concerned look growing on her face. ¡°It¡¯s nothing, don¡¯t worry! What else does this place have to offer?¡± Elfana begins to smile once more, then starts walking toward another store. ¡°This shop has some pretty well-made ironworks! The smith is very talented, at least I think he is¡­¡± ¡°I¡¯ll take your word for it, Elfana¡± She slightly blushes at this sentiment, and speedwalks the remaining 2-3 steps to enter the store, heading in before Chibafu. Was it something I said? Elfana walks into the store, the shopkeeper greeting her, and seeing her face bright red. (switching to the perspective of the Shopkeeper) ¡°Welcome back, Elfana. What brings you here today? New weapon? New armor? Just a talk? You name it, I might have it¡± Elfana takes a few steps in, looking at the doors, when suddenly, the doors fling open. A lawn chair sits in the doorframe. The Shopkeeper is confused at first, rubbing his eyes to make sure he¡¯s seeing correctly, but when he moves his eyes off of this lawn chair, it seemingly disappears, without a trace. Wha-...I don¡¯t think I got enough sleep last night¡­*yawn* ¡°You think this one would be better suited for me?¡± Elfana says, the shopkeeper thinking it¡¯s directed toward him ¡°Yeah, the way you fight that one-¡± Elfana laughs, saying ¡°you¡¯ve got good taste too, the one you chose is very appealing¡± But I didn¡¯t even recommend one¡­? The shopkeeper shakes his head, then looks back toward the counter, seeing Elfana standing there waiting for something. Elfana then sets 2 blades on the counter, still unsure on which to buy of the 2, them being made of different materials, and having different properties. ¡°If you¡¯re looking for something longer lastin-¡± ¡°You make a good point, in that case¡­¡± Elfana cuts off the shopkeeper, setting one of the blades back on the rack. Again? Is she some kind of mind reader or something¡­? The shopkeeper then notices the chair again. This time, it is at the counter. He¡¯s startled by the sight of a lawn chair translocating around his store, and falls backwards, landing on the floor. What¡¯s a chair like this doing in a shop like mine? Elfana returns to the counter, setting the proper amount of ounses to pay for this sword, then thanking the shopkeeper and making her way out of there. ¡°Have a pleasant day! Take care of yourself!¡± ¡°You too, Shopkeeper!¡± He looked to where the lawnchair was, and it once again vanished, as randomly as it appeared. The shopkeeper rubs his eyes once more, not believing the series of events that just occurred before him. ¡°Hey Honey?¡± ¡°Yes, What is it Dear?¡± ¡°What kind of mushrooms did you use in that stew earlier?¡± ¡°The ones from the garden, why?¡± The shopkeeper heads through a curtain, then upstairs to talk more about this with his wife. ¡­ We resume with Chibafu and Elfana exploring the town, spotting the inn at the end of the street. ¡°It¡¯s getting a bit late, the inn shouldn¡¯t be too far from here.¡± ¡°Yeah, it has been a pretty long day¡± The 2 of them walk into the inn, Elfana walking to the counter while being sneered at by the customers in the bottom floor tavern (because of course there is one), none of them uttering a word, but their looks say enough for Chibafu to understand the gist of it; they don¡¯t like elves. The innkeeper seemingly refuses the money Elfana gives him, then reluctantly accepts once she adds in 2 more large ounses, then he hands a key labeled with the number 202 on it, ¡°Well then, I¡¯ll be heading in for the night¡­see you tomorrow?¡± ¡°Sounds good, have a good night.¡± Chibafu makes his way to the innkeeper, stopping right in front of the counter, which is met by a confused look from the innkeeper. ¡°Why do you guys hate elves? Did they destroy your race? Did they commit some tragic genocide that I don¡¯t know about? Did they kill for no reason? Why are you ignoring me?¡± The innkeeper just stands there, blankly staring at the chair still, as if the words Chibafu was saying went over his head¡­because they did. Oh, right. I forgot about the part where they have to sit on me. Chibafu makes his way behind the counter, to the innkeeper this just looks like he teleported behind him, falling backwards. Chibafu is there, however, and the innkeeper ends up sitting on him, and Chibafu¡¯s words are finally able to reach him. ¡°*clears non-existent throat* Excuse me, innkeeper¡­ why do you hate elves so much?¡± For some reason, this guy is completely okay with the disembodied voice in his head appearing out of nowhere, and gets angry after thinking about the answer while remaining seated. ¡°Because¡­¡± This is the world-building part! I¡¯ve been looking forward to this exposition! So what is it? The great war? The purging? Just hate? Tell me! The innkeeper¡¯s face turns red out of embarrassment, looking toward the floor and shyly admitting the reason they all hate elves. ¡°...it¡¯s because they¡¯re thiiiiis much taller than us humans (indicating a slightly taller height than him with his hand)¡± ¡°Seriously?¡± ¡°Yes.¡± the innkeeper adamantly replies. They both freeze in place for a moment, unsure of where to go from here. ¡­ Unauthorized duplication: this narrative has been taken without consent. Report sightings. Chibafu returns to the front of the counter, the innkeeper returning to his position behind it as if nothing had just happened. ¡°I¡¯d like a room for a few nights, please¡± ¡°That¡¯ll be 4 ounses please¡± Just then, 4 ounses materializes in the cupholder of Chibafu, to which he moves it to the counter instantly. ¡°Thank you, enjoy your stay. Room 201 should be available.¡± The innkeeper throws the key onto Chibafu, and Chibafu thanks him for this, and makes his way to his room. Chibafu makes it to his room safely, realizing that Elfana is in the room next to him, but he pays no mind to it. Alright¡­now how do I¡­ Chibafu moves the key for a moment, then gives up, and we cut to the inside of his room. The bed: empty, the bathroom: empty, then Chibafu is seen in the corner of the room, below an old standing item which produces light, basically a lamp. ¡­. The next morning arrives, and the inside of Elfana¡¯s room is shown glistening in the morning sun. Elfana remains in bed, then a loud noise is heard THUNK This startles her awake, getting dressed to see who ¡°knocked¡± at her door. She opens the door, looking around to see who did the knocking, right and left sides appearing clear, but upon looking at the floor notices something there¡­rather someone, that someone being Chibafu, folded on the floor. ¡°Uhhh¡­good morning¡­?¡± Elfana stands there for a moment, before picking up Chibafu from the ground, then smiling ¡°Good morning, Chibafu! Did you sleep well?¡± ¡°Sure did! I¡¯m full of WD-40 and energy now!¡± ¡°WD-4..?¡­that¡¯s good to hear!¡± Elfana is confused at what WD-40 is, but is happy that Chibafu is feeling good this morning ¡°So, what should we do today?¡± ¡°We could do a quest for some money, what do you think?¡± ¡°That sounds great! What do we need to do for that?¡± ¡°We just have to head over to the adventurer¡¯s guild and pick one out!¡± ¡°Let¡¯s head there now then!¡± ¡°That¡¯s the spirit!¡± Elfana gleefully shouts, a bit embarrassed that she raised her voice by accident. They enter the main hall of the adventurer¡¯s guild, and Elfana picks out a piece of paper from a bulletin board, and Chibafu accompanies her to the desk. ¡°We¡¯d like to take this quest, please¡± Elfana politely requests ¡°We? Are you referring to your piece of furniture?¡± the guild receptionist says back, questioning the sanity of Elfana. ¡°I assure you, this is not a piece of furniture, but my travel companion¡± Elfana retorts defiantly. The guildworker shrugs off this seemingly crazy elf lady, then begins writing on another piece of paper with a feather and ink. Woah¡­they¡¯re really old fashioned here? I mean, a quill and ink? Seriously? ¡°Since this is a C rank quest, we require your guild card to make sure you¡¯re eligible to take it¡± the receptionist says to Elfana ¡°Oh, and a guild card for the piece of furnituren¡¯t beside you¡± adds the receptionist, a smug smile on her face to see if she can break the insanity of this elf girl who is friends with a lawn chair Elfana hands over her guild card, and looks to Chibafu to hand his too ¡°One problem¡­I don¡¯t have a guild card¡± The receptionist looks at Elfana, who¡¯s slightly disappointed while looking at Chibafu, as she thinks she finally ended this game. ¡°We¡¯d like to apply for a guild card¡­for him¡± The receptionist¡¯s jaw hits the floor, absolutely losing it over this statement. ¡°Are you being serious?¡± ¡°Yes.¡± Elfana¡¯s eyes are dead serious, meaning to get Chibafu his guild card so they can adventure together. ¡°Thanks for helping me, really. I appreciate all you¡¯ve done for me so far¡­you¡¯re too nice for your own good¡± Elfana¡¯s face turns bright red, and looks back at the receptionist. The receptionist reluctantly hands them a piece of paper and explains to meet the other people applying behind the guild. As the 2 of them leave, the receptionist is still in shock about the crazy woman she just encountered, thinking back to a time before when she¡¯d taken a quest. She¡¯s lost it¡­but that¡¯s what adventuring¡¯s all about. The thrill of fighting, joy of exploration, and slowly becoming insane after repeating those for many years. You must¡¯ve hit the express route. The receptionist sets a sign up on the counter where she was, the sign saying ¡°Returning momentarily¡±, and she walks to the back, brushing a curtain to the side and walking further, sitting down at an arena, seeing a line of people, and a wizard-looking man in the middle with a crystal ball. ¡­ Chibafu and Elfana find a staircase with a long line of people waiting to descend, and a few people heading up with tears in their eyes. I wonder what that¡¯s all about¡­didn¡¯t pass maybe? The line slowly shortens, Chibafu nervously waiting until his turn is up, Elfana standing with him the entire way. They make it to the intended floor, seeing the wizard-man and the crystal ball in the middle of a stadium, people approaching the crystal 1 at a time. A young woman heads to the crystal, setting her hand on it, the crystal reacting by shining bright green, her looking extremely happy. The wizard points her toward a group of people off to the side, them all awaiting further instruction. Next, a smug looking rich kid with blonde combed hair approaches the crystal. This guy has ¡°smug 2nd rate villain with no power¡± written all over him! He places his hand on the crystal, and the light glows a violent purple. He looks happy with this, but expresses this in a smug way, scoffing and heading toward the group to the side before the wizard has time to react. ¡­ More time passes, making it to the last people of the first phase, being Chibafu and Elfana. Elfana steps to the side, having already completed this to obtain her guild license. The receptionist is seen far in the observation area of the arena, laughing at the lone lawn chair. She laughs so hard she starts crying, and begins rolling over the floor. After calming herself, she realizes the lawn chair had moved beside the crystal. How¡¯s that thing going to activate the crystal? You need to place your hand on it for it to work? She scratches her head at the thought, but the crystal suddenly glows pure and radiant white, which completely shocks her. WHAT THE¡­? Chibafu makes his way to the section of people who are entering the next phase of evaluation. ¡°That¡¯s amazing, Chibafu. White light really suits you!¡± ¡°What does that mean, exactly?¡± Wait¡­light magic? Could I possess the godly light magic? I mean it would make sense since I¡¯m from another wo- ¡°It means you possess no trait that the crystal recognizes¡± ¡°Oh.¡± Chibafu is disappointed at this, but has no time to weep himself to sleep as the preparations for the 2nd phase have just ended, and the examination is about to begin. There are 4 diverse people that stand behind an older-looking woman, who clears her throat before speaking ¡°Welcome to phase 2 of the license trial! For those who don¡¯t know me, I am Cleo Juilius, the guildmaster here. The next trial will consist of a fight between you and one of the heads of the 5 best parties behind me¡± ¡°...but there¡¯s only 4 of them¡­¡± Cleo turns to see that one of 5 is missing, and becomes visibly angry. She turns back around to finish explaining. ¡°...you just have to knock them down, or beat them. I don¡¯t care. Now, if you¡¯ll excuse me¡± Cleo storms out of the arena, leaving the examiners and examinees just kind of standing there for a moment before beginning. One brutish-looking man speaks up from the 4. ¡°Alright, if everyone wants to make a line in front of who you¡¯d like to fight, please do so now¡± The examinees make lines infront of 3 of the 4, with none of them lining up in front of a regular looking blonde man, 2 katanas in their sheath at his waist. The brutish man, Cornelius Infite, notices this and begins laughing ¡°I see Kert Ervell¡¯s reputation as a tough fighter proceeds him! Just so you know, I¡¯m not going to take it easy on you, you know!¡± Cracking his knuckles as he looks upon the line in front of him, making them shudder in fear. Kert is disappointed, looking down and just about to begin his walk out of the arena, again, when he looks up to Chibafu, in front of him, face planting into the seat. ¡°I¡¯d like to challenge you, Kert Ervell¡± Kert hears Chibafu¡¯s voice, and takes a good look at the lawn chair, then extends a hand to shake. ¡°Sounds fair to me!¡± Kert replies with a smile, eyes still closed. Kert leaves his hand expecting a handshake, but Chibafu is a chair, and has nothing of the sort. ¡°Uhh¡­just on the arm is okay¡± Kert places his hand on Chibafu¡¯s arm rest, accepting the challenge officially. Kert exits to the spectating area, his closed eyes twitching with confusing and befuddlement. I¡¯m losing it, aren¡¯t I? ¡­ The 2nd phase proceeds, Chibafu and Kert waiting for their duel, and since Kert is only facing 1 person, their fight is reserved as the last one. A fight between a warrior-teenager and Cornelius begins, with the teen swinging cautiously but still trying to hit Cornelius. Cornelius remains on the defensive, not attacking but dodging and observing his opponent carefully. ¡°More, SHOW ME MORE!¡± Cornelius shouts at the boy, finally swinging and knocking him out in one heavy blow to the head. The teen is slammed into the ground by this, leaving a body-shaped imprint on the ground, to which he then gets up and limps away. More fights ensue between excited and scared examinees, the examiners not holding back a single bit, though they haven¡¯t been bested yet. The second to last fight is about to begin, when Chibafu and Elfana see the scumbag-looking blonde noble kid up against a female fighter, draped in purple clothing and purple hair. That woman, she¡¯s wearing the same color as Mr. 2nd-tier-villan¡¯s light color¡­could that mean anything? The woman, leader of Serpent Sting, Edina Paltus, wields a shortbow and throwing knives, and is up against that noble kid, Lesiere Eve Ilguy, second son of the Ilguy Dutchy. Lessiere scoffs at the sight of Edina, as if he¡¯s mocking her prowess of fighting, which to her is an instigation to commence the fight. Edina begins the fight by reaching for an arrow from the quiver at her hip, this one having 2 intertwined metal arrows woven together. She loads them into the shortbow and silently activates them ¡°Envenom, Rot, Decay¡± She fires the arrow, mid-air changing into 2 serpents which are headed toward Lessier, to which he evades. The arrows slam into the wall behind him, and the wall begins to dissolve into a black mass, to Chibafu¡¯s shock. ¡°What¡­did she just do?¡± ¡°She gave meaning to the arrows, and by commanding them they gain this word as a property¡± Elfana replies, the battle raging in front of them. Lessier rolls out of the way of another arrow, this time freezing the ground, but he evades just in time. He gains footing, then points a finger gun toward Edina, with the same scummy and full-of-himself look he¡¯d worn since the beginning. ¡°Be ready to taste true Impotence!¡± Lessier exclaims, a purple sphere glowing at the tips of his fingers. I don¡¯t think that means what he thinks it means¡­but what¡¯s that light? The light rages, becoming violent, and a malicious smile grows on Lessier¡¯s face. The sphere jolts for a moment, then creates a torrent, seemingly unsure of what it¡¯s doing. It then turns red, and before she can react Edina is hit by it, causing her to be knocked back and falling down. Lessier walks over toward Edina, then spits on her head, laughing to himself and heading back to view the final fight, but trips at the base of the stairs. He hits his head on the bottom step, then angrily gets up and storms to the viewing area. ¡°Looks like It¡¯s my turn¡­.wish me luck¡± ¡°Good luck, Chibafu. Kert is not a weak opponent¡± Elfana remains in the stands, watching on as Kert walks into the arena, now being face to face with Chibafu. ¡°Let¡¯s just get this over with, shall we?¡± Kert tiredly asks, but having both hands on the blades, ready to strike at any moment. ¡°Yes, let¡¯s have a good battle!¡± Chibafu exclaims, also prepared for the battle. Elfana looks on, seeing the 2 in the arena, looking as if they¡¯re about to fight at any moment. Her excitement dies down, as after a few seconds, nothing¡¯s happened yet. After about 30 seconds of standing there, Kert falls to the ground, unconscious. Chibafu slides away, winning this decisive battle cleanly. Everyone in the stands is in uproar, seeing the mighty Kert fall after a non-existent battle took place before them. ¡­ A little later, Chibafu and the very few winners who remain linger in silence, Elfana still happy that Chibafu passed the previous test. ¡°That was amazing! How¡¯d you do that? I mean taking down The Kert Ervell in a duel¡­That¡¯s quite a feat!¡± ¡°I don¡¯t know myself, maybe just luck?¡± ¡°Regardless of luck, you still came out victorious, so¡­congratulations!¡± Elfana exclaims, her happy and gentle face infectious to Chibafu. ¡°Thank you¡­but it¡¯s not over yet. Just one more to go¡­but after that I have a request¡± Elfana is confused at the end of the sentence, tilting her head to try and understand. ¡°A¡­request?¡± ¡°Yes. If I pass the next trial¡­would you want to celebrate tonight?¡± Elfana blushes at this sentence, her face a bright red. ¡°...sure¡± Chibafu¡¯s name is called, meaning he must head onto the next area. ¡°Perfect. I¡¯ll be back in just a moment, so don¡¯t go anywhere, alright?¡± ¡°Sure!¡± Elfana happily agrees, waiting for Chibafu to finish the final trial. Chibafu heads through the door, finding himself onstage, some lights pointed at him and 3 judges sitting at a desk before the stage, each with a button in front of them. ¡°Show us your talent!¡± one of the judges exclaims, Chibafu now at center stage. Alright, Here¡¯s my special talent¡­take this!!! Chibafu folds in half, and falls onto the floor. Silence envelops the room for a moment, before one of the judges begins the cry. ¡°BEAUTIFUL! AMAZING! HEARTWARMING!¡± The judges all stand and give rigorous applause, all pouring with tears. ¡°You know, we don¡¯t get many people with such a *Sniffle* moving talent like yourself. You¡¯ve got real talent, Chibafu. And for that¡­¡± The judge moves his hand to a golden-looking buzzer in the middle of the 3 judges. ¡°...congratulations!¡± Confetti explodes from the rafters of the stage, and a clerk walks over and hands him his guild card. Elfana runs on stage with tears in her eyes, lifting Chibafu and spinning around with him ¡°I knew you could do it, Chibafu!¡± Elfana happily exclaims, holding Chibafu close now. ¡°Thanks to you, I was able to!¡± Chibafu looks at the guild license, it reads as follows: Chibafu Isu Magical Piece of Furniture Age: ?? Sex: Chair Ability: Fold Rank: A Chibafu and Elfana return to the surface, happy he could get his license. ¡°So, about that quest¡­¡± ¡°We can do it tomorrow! Tonight, we¡¯re going to celebrate! Just allow me to get changed¡± Elfana rambles, speedily heading back to the inn. ¡­ Some time passes, with Chibafu having a bowtie wrapped around the back support, waiting in the main lobby of the inn for Elfana to be ready. The sky gets dark as night approaches, and celebration draws near. ¡°Sorry to keep you waiting, Chibafu!¡± Chiabfu turns to be facing the stairs down to the lobby, Elfana descending. She¡¯s wearing a dark blue and gold dress, her hair done up in a bun. ¡°Were you waiting long?¡± Elfana asks in an apologetic tone, knowing she took quite a bit of time. ¡°You look great, no I wasn¡¯t¡± Chibafu retorts, then heading out into the night to find a place to properly celebrate this occasion. They head into a pub, Elfana sitting down across from Chibafu, who¡¯s moved the chair that was originally there and is in its place. They begin drinking, with Elfana getting more and more tipsy until basically passed out, and only after 5 mugs of ale. I thought elves had high liquor tolerance¡­or was it mana? Eh, who knows. Elfana is basically out of it, and almost falls onto the ground and off her chair, when Chibafu acts quickly, catching her on his seat. ¡°Let¡¯s head back now, shall we?¡± Elfana mumbles incoherently back, and Chibafu takes this as an indicator that she¡¯s ready to leave. He picks up the bar tab, and he slides back to the inn, her asleep while on him, the moonlight glistening off the rugged metal structure Chibafu calls his body. They luckily make it back to Elfana¡¯s room, Chibafu dumping her onto her bed and is about to leave her room. ¡°You know, you could always¡­¡± Elfana drunkenly pats the bed next to her, enticing Chibafu to join her. Chibafu¡¯s arm rest shoots up with a loud CLANG. Bolts fall onto the ground below him, but he turns back to face the door. ¡°Goodnight, Elfana¡± Elfana begins snoring, which is Chibafu¡¯s queue to leave. He folds himself, then slides under the door very slowly, then makes it back to his room. That was close¡­any more and I would¡¯ve been¡­nevermind. Chibafu goes back to the cuck chair position in his room (more of a cuck lawn chair position now) and clocks out for the night, thinking back to the eventful day he just had. Wow¡­who knew a world like this existed! This place is definitely better than my old world, at least. Here, I feel like I¡¯ll truly be able to relax, and live a life of leisure! Yeah, no way.
