Hey guys,
As most of you probably know by now Disqus has stopped providing services to many sites and our site is one of them. Right now, we are in the middle of developing our independent comment system. As of today(26 March 2025), we are releasing the comment with Limited features. There are other features still under development and may take some time to roll out.

After the fun of Sunday’s live concert, it’s now a gloomy Monday. Fortunately, the factory accident video hasn’t caused a bigger stir and is gradually dying down.

That said, someone other than the original poster has uploaded analysis videos. They explore things like how much strength would be required to lift those materials or force open the warped door, or whether hiding a water tank under a cape could replicate the events in the video. It’s impressive how much thought they’re putting into this.


“Man, yesterday was such a blast.”

“Ugh... and today feels so much worse because of it.”

“I got a photo with them and bought way too much merch! No regrets, but my wallet...”

“That happened to me during my first live concert too. Next time, it’s better to plan ahead and decide what to buy beforehand.”

High school students don’t have much spending power, and splurging on merch hits hard. The money Iijima-san gave me is almost gone, so I’ll need to figure out a way to earn money in this world soon.


“Good morning, Tachihara-kun.”

“Good morning, Kawabata-san.”

“Yesterday was so much fun. I hope you invite me again!”

“Yeah, thanks for coming yesterday. I’ll definitely invite you next time!”

Kawabata-san seems full of energy despite it being Monday. Seeing a girl’s smile first thing in the morning boosts my mood a little. Boys really are simple creatures.


After surviving Monday’s classes, I returned home. Today, I plan to head to the other world and make some progress toward a new town.

Last time, I aimed for the northern mountains and skipped the seaside town, so this time, I’ll head there. On the way lies the city of Bradley, which is also one of my destinations. According to the grand mage’s records I got from Gina, the adventurer’s guild master in Bradley is a descendant of the grand mage.

The grand mage lived just over 100 years ago, so this guild master is likely three to five generations removed. There are quite a few descendants, many of whom hold important positions in various countries and towns. Meeting all of them would take far too long, so my plan is to observe from a distance and help out if I see any trouble.

It’s quite a journey, so after school, I’ll travel to the other world, move toward the city, and then return home via teleportation. If only there were faster ways to travel... Maybe I could get a helicopter from the other world? No, that’s probably not happening.


I teleported to Luxeria and began running toward my destination. At first, I marveled at the beautiful scenery, but after running through Luxeria, Egerton, and the northern mountains, the monotony started to wear on me.

Avoiding mountains and valleys means the landscape is mostly the same, which can’t be helped. Occasionally, I’d pass merchants, adventurers, or carriages and surprise them, but that’s about it.

After running every day after school, I finally arrived at my destination on Thursday night.

Using detection and danger sense skills along the way kept me vigilant, but unlike the time I helped Sara and her group, I didn’t encounter any monsters or bandits in trouble. That must have been incredible timing—or maybe Sara’s group was just incredibly lucky.


“Welcome to the city of Bradley!”

Presenting my pass at the gate earned me a grand welcome from the guards, just like in Egerton. It seems this pass is something only royalty or high-ranking nobles possess.

“So, this is Bradley!”

The city feels different from Luxeria or Egerton. It’s fascinating how distinct the towns are in this other world. Then again, even in my world, cities vary greatly between countries and regions.

Bradley is about the same size as Egerton, but its walls are as high and sturdy as Luxeria’s. The layout of the town feels chaotic, with houses of various shapes scattered haphazardly, giving it a bustling, disordered charm.

In contrast, Luxeria, being the royal capital, has buildings neatly aligned in a grid, with a consistent reddish-brown color scheme. Each city has its unique appeal.


“Time to start my usual routine of information gathering—also known as sampling street food!”

I headed toward a large square filled with food stalls. Unlike my world, these stalls are always bustling, which is a blessing. While proper restaurants might have delicious offerings, without the internet to look up reviews, street stalls that let me see the food directly are more reliable.

“Hey, young man! How about some wild boar skewers?”

“Over here, handsome! Try our striped salmon and red shrimp grilled with salt!”

The square is vibrant with activity, and there are many stalls to choose from. Being closer to the sea, Bradley features seafood not seen in Luxeria or Egerton. I think I’ll save tasting the otherworld’s seafood for when I reach the seaside town.
