  Chapter 6: Reunion   The next day, as I walked with Bergana, eager to start my work at the main store, I spotted familiar faces in the crowd. It was Al's group of rookie adventurers, talking with another group of four adventurers. I chose to walk past without interfering, but Bergana seemed intrigued and suggested we observe for a while. We blended into the crowd and listened to their conversation. "Dungeons are too early for you guys. They're much more dangerous than the outside. Rookies should start with extermination requests outside first," one of the older adventurers advised. "Is that so?" Al asked. "Extermination requests are also recommended for quickly raising your rank. Come with us as helpers this time. We'll split the reward and teach you the ropes of extermination. You look too risky to leave alone," the man offered. "Really? That's great!" Al's group exclaimed. The deal seemed settled, and Al...

  Chapter 5: Yuki Encounters Children's Lives   At the Commerce Guild, I had to take an arithmetic test before registration. This was expected, another common trope in other worlds. The problems were mostly elementary and middle school level calculations with some linear function questions. Nothing I couldn't handle. They were surprised by my perfect score, but when I mentioned I was a new employee at White Trading Company, the examiner understood. White Trading Company must be impressive. My adventurer card was updated with a merchant credibility rank, completing my Commerce Guild registration. Merchant Credibility: KE An E-rank merchant registered in the Calito Kingdom. Apparently, I received a rank boost for perfect test scores, but I'm not sure how well this is recognized in society. Anyway, this completed my resident registration. From today, I'm officially a citizen of the Calito Kingdom. After receiving an explanation about the annual taxes I need...

  Chapter 4: Yuki Becomes an Adventurer? (Part 2)   The building Bergana ushered me into indeed had an interior resembling a government office. What caught my attention was the number of armed individuals relaxing at corner tables with ales in hand. It seems my bad feeling was right on the mark. "Welcome to the Adventurers' Guild. Here for a new registration?" The receptionist greeted me with a smile. "N-no, that's not it," I stammered, turning to leave, but Bergana firmly gripped my shoulder. "I don't want this! Why should I, a shop employee, become an adventurer? I can't even consider living day-to-day risking my life. Berga, what are you thinking? If we're going anywhere, it should be the Commerce Guild," I blurted out loudly, then quickly came to my senses. I could feel the disgruntled stares of the surrounding adventurers. Bergana was scratching her head with an "oops" expression. I'd really done it this...

Chapter 3: Yuki Becomes an Adventurer? (Part 1)   The chirping of birds outside the window and warm sunlight seeping through the curtains' gap - yes, it's morning. Yuki opens her eyes and jumps out of bed, eager to see the view outside. She flings open the curtains but quickly closes them and plasters herself against the wall. "Oh, I forgot!" She remembers Bergana's warning from last night: "Be careful of sunlight." Apparently, if Yuki were an undead without sunlight resistance, her body would burst into flames and turn to ash upon exposure. Bergana, being a higher-ranking vampire, has sunlight resistance. However, most of the mansion's servants don't, so they sleep underground until evening and work from night until morning. Yuki checks her head, face, chest, and waist with her hands. She's fine. No problems. Cautiously approaching the window, she tests the sunlight leaking through the curtain gap on her arm. Phew, it seems safe. Now, all at...

  Chapter 2: How Did It Come to This?   There's no way I could sleep. So much has happened today. Too much, really. Even as I clutch my head and writhe, I have no choice but to accept this as reality. But how did it come to this? Yuki - that's my name in this world. In my previous life, I was called Takamori Yuki. I was an unmarried female office worker approaching 40, without a boyfriend - something considered normal these days. I wanted to design parks, walkways, and leisure facilities rather than buildings, so I aimed for a university department where I could study that. However, my options were limited to either the University of Tokyo or an unknown private university. Tokyo University was obviously out of reach, and my homeroom teacher suggested I apply to an unrelated department at a national university just for the prestige. But I chose substance over reputation and entered the private university. As a result, I received a recommendation from a well-known ...

  Chapter 1: My Reincarnation in Another World   A black armored carriage races through the dark night, illuminated by flashes of lightning. Two strong dark knights in full plate armor serve as escorts, and even the hooded driver and the four horses pulling the carriage have eyes that glow an eerie red. Beyond the forest and plains lies a massive fortress city. As the vanguard dark knight silently raises a flag, the city's enormous gates open, and the armored carriage, along with three dark knights, speeds through the empty main street without slowing down. The city guards stand motionless, watching this ominous procession pass. No one dares to stop the armored carriage bearing the kingdom's flag and the royal family's crest—a shield with a purple flower.   * * *   Deep beneath the fortress city, in what appears to be an audience chamber, a large wooden box is brought in by shadowy, hooded figures before five people. When opened, it reveals an ice cof...

  Prologue   We are currently at a place called "The Tower of the Witch of the Lost Kingdom," located about two days' journey south of the royal capital by carriage. This is actually my third visit to this tower. The previous two visits were as an escort for a certain merchant, but this time I'm here for my own business dealings. Unlike usual, there's no maid to greet us at the base of the tower today. "Hello again, I've come to purchase books," I call out in the ground floor hall, but there's no response. Still, I'm certain someone's home. With no other choice, I lead the four adventurers I hired for protection and cargo handling up the long, massive spiral staircase. We reach a hall in the middle section of the tower without incident. I try calling out again, and finally, the voice of the tower's mistress echoes through the hall. "My, who could it be? Oh, it's you. Hmm, so you're one of those people."...

 Hello! My name is SyosetsuMTL, I originally started as an audiobook maker who wanted to listen to novels while working and made an audiobook channel on youtube. After a while, I wanted to read novels that have not been translated yet or stopped completely for some reason or another.  For the record, I definitely do not know Japanese and I strive for the series I cover to be somewhat consistent at least. If someone who knows Japanese would like to take over a series, please let me know!
