Didn't I Say to Make My Abilities Average in the Next Life?!

I'm finally here. The royal capital of the Kingdom of Tills.

Palace here's just a little smaller than the Kingdom of Randall's.

How rude. Who are you calling a country girl?

This is my first time being here, so it's completely.

Normal to call.

I did it again.

Why, yes, we do have a room available.

It's five silvers a night and any

meals would be an additional fee.

Hot water, five coppers for one basin.

That okay? Yeah, but I can handle

all the hot and cold water on my own.

Here we go. Amazing. You did that through magic, right? Wait.

That means you must be a hunter.

Well, you're half right, I guess. I'm

actually in this country because I've just

been accepted into the hunters prep school.

I'm. I'll. I'll be staying here until the entrance ceremony.

I'm Lenny, the face of this in Havok.

Do your best out there. Miss the famous

hunter. Or to support our established.

Then we'd really start raking it in.

I'm not really interested in fame. That's

not my goal in life is,

for just one thing, absolutely average, ordinary, unremarkable. Happiness.

Okay, time for my new world. Life

do over normal happiness is going to happen.

I just know it. Have a nice day. Thanks. See you later.

Guess I should start by learning my way around town.

Or go for gelato. Whoa! This view is.

My hand. Oh, dear.

Just kidding.

That's enough sightseeing for now. Time to find the marketplace.

So. You know what to do if we can't count.

Wait a sec. I knew this town seemed a little too quiet.

Other than Lenny, I haven't really seen many kids around.

Huh? Could there be a declining birth

rate problem in a place like this?

Whoa. Easy. Careful there.

Huh? Oh, I'm so sorry. Thank you very much, Mr.. Miss.

Miss, sir. Uh, in an effort to be considerate,

you've gotten a little mixed up.

If you daydream and end up getting lost,

you might not find your way back home.

Hey, I maybe. Not that young. Well,

then I think it's time for me to go.

Oh, and just so you know, I'm a woman.

So I subject, I guess. Well, either way.

Treating me like a little kid was pretty rude,

despite my appearance. My actual age. Is you there, little one?

Huh? I suggest you turn back now.

A small child walking into the slums

without a care in the world.

They chew you up and spit you out a small child,

you're obviously a child and you're very small.

At any rate, the point is, you

should stay away from there. Huh?

Whoa! It's like a picture perfect depiction

of the sketchy side of town.

Wow. I'm so sorry. I was walking along, lost in thought.

I almost went in by accident. Look, it's not.

Like I care about. What happens to some random child.

I don't know, but if I'd just walked on by, it.

Might have bothered me. Later. That's all.

There's no mistaking it. You're soon today, aren't you? Huh?

Sundari? Sorry about that. I guess a concept

like that doesn't really exist in this world,

does it? Not sure what you mean.

But I feel like you're making fun

of me. Thanks for the warning.

I won't go in there. I'm so sorry for troubling you.

It's fine. Whatever. Now work on getting

that country girl tourist look off your face.

And that was fine for her, though.

Wait, a country girl tourist looking face.

Nobody asked you. Shush! Finally the marketplace.

Are you all right? Yeah, I'm all right. Are.

Something wrong? You didn't hurt yourself, did you?

Oh, no, it's nothing really. I'm sorry.

I wasn't looking where I was going. Not at all.

I wasn't paying proper attention either. Oh my goodness. Look.

Huh? There. Well, take care of yourself.

She seems like a lovely person inside and out,

but that chest just isn't fair.

Oh, hey. Never had a chance to try or meet yet.

I'll buy some and get them to cook it for me at the end.

Excuse me. This one please. Excellent. It's

the best part of the tenderloin.

Will you be able to carry it by yourself?

Yeah, it won't be a problem.

It's huge. All right, here you go. I don't believe it.

Not only are you strong for your size,

but you can use storage magic, too.

Oh, uh, a little. Yeah. There aren't

many people who can use that type of magic.

And you're only a kid. It's just amazing.

Let me give you some advice. Hurry on home now.

It's not safe here for kids. Huh?

I'm sorry. I forgot to mention that.

Oh, so it's true. Here in the capital?

Yes. Over the past couple of days,

children around our age have been disappearing without a trace.

And you should be especially careful. A child

that can use magic is extremely valuable. I will

wait. The magic using child is me.

So children around here are going missing.

That must be why things felt weird today, right, Nana?

You know who else probably thought things felt weird today?

Folks who saw you talk to me.

After all, normal people aren't able to see me, remember?

Why'd you remind me? But, you know, some of that.

Was because you talked to me first. Nano.

Well, you're the first person in centuries

who can see and communicate with nanomachines. So sorry.

Magic and technology, huh? Anything's possible in an essay, Kai.

This is just a secret between you and me.

See, the real truth is, mile is just an alias I'm using.

I'm really a noble hailing from the kingdom of Brandel.

The name's Adele von Ascham. But really? Really.

I'm a Japanese high school student, Misato Kurihara.

That's right. It's embarrassing. But I'm one

I was always an ambitious overachiever. Top

of my class, extra credit, all that.

I definitely stood out. Which, of course

translates into I never had a single friend.

Oh, but my family was great. My parents

and my little sister loved me very much. But one day.

Came from the famous reincarnated. Into another world out of control.

And the next thing I knew.

Um. I woke up and. Met a God

type person who said that I could be reincarnated into another world.

All the expected bonuses would be included, of course.

After some thought, the bonus I asked for was.

This time. I want to make normal

friends and live a normal life.

Understand me as far as powers go.

I only want the average abilities for that world.

After that, I was reincarnated here and a lot has happened.

So much. It's been a weird 12 years,

let me tell you. Regular happiness. Will I ever find it?

You will. I'm certain of it.

Yes. I'm so ready for school to start. I know the capital.

Like the back of my hand. Hey, Lenny. I'm back. Let the.

Let go! I have to go look for Lenny.

This is the busiest time of the day.

We can't feed our guests without a chef.

Aren't you the least bit worried? She's

just running late with the shopping, that's all.

She wasn't at the marketplace. Just to point out,

you say you want an average, normal life,

but you always seem to be poking

your little nose into dangerous business.

Yeah. So just say, either way, can

you think of anywhere besides the marketplace she might be?

Could we use Search Magic to track her down?

It's possible, but if we expand the search to the entire capital,

even your data processing capabilities wouldn't be able to handle it,

and your head would go boom.

But let's skip that then. Given the situation,

looking in places like this first makes the most sense, right?

Well, now what do we have here? If we bring a gem like this,

the boss will give us a huge bonus. Well.

Part the second I walked in. You

don't exactly blend in here. Halt! Huh?

Keep your filthy hands off of her! Huh? It's Miss Surfer.

And just who do you think you are?

I've no name to give villains like you.

What an. It's like something straight. Out of a manga,

huh? Let her have it. Are.

You're gonna dodge. Are you gonna fight?

Is that the best you can do? Don't underestimate us. Come.

You're dead meat. You'll be sorry you messed with us.
