In Another World with My Smartphone (異世界はスマートフォンとともに。)

Better rip off the ol' band-aid.

I'm sorry to say that you're dead.

I was throwing some lightning around

and accidentally dropped a bolt on you.

The guilt is really tearing me up.

It was a freak accident-- hasn't happened to me in weeks.

Gotcha.

What was it, again? Mochizuki?

Touya. It's Mochizuki Touya.

Mochizuki Touya. Of course.

I have to say.

You're taking the news surprisingly well.

I was bracing myself to get chewed out a little.

Well, honestly, this doesn't quite

feel real to me yet.

I'm still half expecting to wake up from a dream.

But if I am dead, then that's that.

No point complaining.

That's a mature perspective.

Still, I was hoping to live a bit past 15.

So, is this the part where you judge me, or?

No, I'm resurrecting you.

You can do that?

Yes, but I'm not allowed to send you back

to the world you were born in, so I found another for you.

It's kind of like yours.

The air won't choke you, that's the key.

Oh. Sounds good to me.

Huh? It does?

Looks to me like you're doing all you can.

I'm just glad I get to live again at all.

Grandad always said to be forgiving

of others' mistakes. I wonder if he's seeing this.

You've a very kind heart.

Tell me, is there anything else

I can do to make up for all the trouble?

Anything?

Mm. Anything you'd like in your next life?

Cool. Um. Well...

Could you make it possible

for me to keep on using this guy?

Your smartphone?

Uh. That's kind of a dumb idea, isn't it?

I'd have no way to keep it charged there.

Actually, that won't be a problem.

You should be able to recharge the battery with magic.

Say what?

You mean you're sending me to a world

that has actual magic?

Oh, yeah. It's got fireballs,

lizardmen, the works.

I'll endow you with a natural talent

for using magic, as well.

Still, though. Are you sure there's nothing else you'd like?

Yeah. Thanks a million.

Oh, I did wanna ask you one thing.

If I were to bring a smartphone from my world,

would I be able to call people from it?

Oh. No, I can't let you communicate directly.

You'll be able to watch or read anything you'd like, though.

Also, I'll set things up

so you can call me if ever you need to.

I understand. Let's go with that, then.

So this is my new home.

Guess I'll follow this road.

It should lead to something eventually.

-- --

Hey, what's up?

Oh, good, I got through!

Glad you arrived in once piece.

Yeah, me, too.

I forgot to mention something about your phone.

I changed your map and navigation

to match the world you're in now. Try using it.

Thanks for letting me know!

That'll be a big help.

I was about to just pick a random direction.

Yeah, don't do that.

No offense, but I'd rather not see you again any time soon.

Good luck! I'm out.

I really have God's phone number.

Heading west.

But even if I reach a city.

What am I supposed to do there?

Should've asked God to let me convert my money somehow.

Hey! You there!

Hi, how's it goin'?

Hey, we speak the same language, that's cool.

Wherever did you obtain such marvelous apparel from?

You must allow me to purchase it from you!

I'll pay you well. You won't regret it!

Huh?

Come on down.

We'll find a new set of clothes to replace yours.

Uh, thanks.

I can't read the writing.

Sir, it's nice to see you again!

Mm-hm. Get my friend fitted here

for a new outfit, will you? Something nice.

Looks like he owns this shop.

Hey! Kid.

I'll pay ya double if ya sell me those clothes as well.

Do I have a choice?

Well, if you find any other clothes like those,

stop by again, please.

Sure.

By the way, this town wouldn't happen

to have an inn with rooms for rent, would it?

I was hoping to find a place to rest for the night

before it gets dark out.

I know just the place.

Walk down till you reach the town square

and take a right at the main road.

There's a fine inn called the Silver Moon.

Ya can't miss it.

Thanks for everything.

The Silver Moon Inn, eh?

Look at that.

His shop's called the "Fashion King Zanac."

That wasn't the deal!

You said you'd pay us one gold coin for it!

That was if the goods were in better shape.

This antler has a scratch on it. Here.

That's just one silver coin!

A single scratch doesn't make the thing

ten times less valuable!

Calm down.

Forget it. I don't want your money.

Just give the antler back to me.

Don't misread us, sweetheart.

We aren't negotiating.

Sorry to interrupt, but,

could you spare a moment?

Who are you?

N' what do you want?

Don't misread me.

My business is actually with the ladies here.

What business?

I was hoping you might be willing to part

with that shiny antler for one gold.

Heck yeah!

Sweet.

The hell's wrong with you?

Think I'm allowed to destroy my own property.

I'm giving a good boost to your stamina, reflexes,

memory and so forth.

Long as nothing too crazy happens,

you'll be pretty tough to kill now.

Whoa, it's like he's moving in slow motion.

Here. The gold I owe you.

You sure? I appreciate the gesture, but--

I'm not about to break your stuff

without paying you back.

Then I'd be worse than those guys.

I only broke it to try and catch them off guard.

If I'd known that they'd be so easy to beat,

I could've saved it.

All right, you convinced me.

Thanks for the assist, stranger.

My name's Elze Silhoueska, and this is my younger twin.

Her name's Linze Silhoueska.

Thank you for helping us, sir.

Hi, I'm Mochizuki Touya.

Mochizuki? That's an exotic name.

Well. It's my family name.

You can just call me Touya.

Oh. So you introduce yourself backwards.

Bet you're from Eashen.

Eashen? Uh. Well.

What are you doing this far from home?

Yeah. Uh.

For the time being, I'm just trying to find

the Silver Moon Inn.

I haven't planned any further than that.

The Silver Moon?

The two of us are actually staying at that inn.

Huh?

Here it is.

Hi there, d'you think I could book a room

through the next month?

Sure thing.

You finished checking in?

Yeah. All set.

Sorry for the wait.

Uh, is this a friend of yours?

He helped us out just a moment ago.

My. Found yourself a man already, have you?

Shut your gossip mouth, Micah!

The men in that alley had commissioned us

to bring them the Crystal Deer Antler.

They seemed a bit dodgy, but work is work, I figured.

Well, lesson learned.

I was against taking that job from the beginning, remember?

I really wish you would listen to me more often.

Yeah, I guess we'd better quit freelancing

and start taking jobs from the guild now.

Think there's still time to register today?

No, they'll be closed by now.

But let's go tomorrow.

Guild jobs are much safer.
