I’ve Reincarnated And I’m OP! - Chapter 23

About thirty days have passed since I gave the money bags to my family and in just those days they clearly did what I told them, they all went out to different cities within the kingdom and started to buy different stores, with a large number of stores in our power was granted to us by the count of the city the title of noble of high lineage, although it seemed to me a little annoying I had no other option but to accept it.

It was only a matter of a few more days before letters with marriage proposals began to arrive, obviously I politely rejected each one, but my brothers and sister said that I wanted to go pay a visit, obviously I did not stop them, but I did tell them that If they wanted to marry someone they chose with their heart and not for riches, even though he sounded like an old man, it was the best for them.

Before I knew it, a whole month had passed, my day to day I had a routine of physical and magical training with my brothers or alone during the morning and at night I continued with the creation of the most useful skill to date, It took me much longer than expected but after working for weeks in a row I managed to complete the Map skill, using the Maps that could be used in computers and phones on Earth as a base I created this skill, with the difference that Map is in time real, not like Maps.

As in video games the Map could be seen in the upper right corner of my field of vision, and also as in video games the Map could be expanded or reduced, mark a specific place and create a route to that place; People regardless of their race on the Map are illustrated as small yellow dots, familiar people with a blue dot, animals and monsters with a green dot, I also add the ability to look at the State of any living being directly from the Map and if any living being had bad intentions it was illustrated as a red dot.

After finishing the Map I continued experimenting with abilities and after a few days I successfully managed to create four abilities, the first ability was Transfer, its only function was to transfer mana to anyone, although it already had mana potions, the potions are not instantaneous and because of that I decided to create it; the second ability was the opposite of Transfer, Extract, its function was the ability to drain the mana of any living being, it creates it with the purpose of immobilizing without hurting; The third skill was Telepathy, I created it for the purpose of communicating with my family when I went on a trip, but unfortunately it was a failure since its range was only a few meters, the fourth and last skill was Space, using the knowledge of the magic bags and the Inventory I managed to create an ability capable of creating rooms in a sub-space, as I already had some knowledge with the Inventory it did not take me long to create it, the first room I created was only a few meters long since it was only As a test, in the second room create a cabin on the edge of a lake with some trees.

Apart from creating the skills I also entered the world of potion creation, while exploring an underground cave I found several books with many things, including recipes for low, medium and high grade healing potions, mana potions of low, medium and high grade; Apart from the common potion recipes there was also a recipe for a potion capable of healing any wound or illness according to the notes, a recipe for a potion capable of giving a thousand years of life made from the blood of an old elf, a recipe for a such a demon drug made of demon blood and other strange things which offered to give superhuman strength to the one who drank it at the cost that if he ingested it three times he would become a demon and I also found a prescription for a kind of contraceptive.

Currently I was walking around the city taking a few laps since I was going to leave the city the next day, the first place where I went I went to the adventurers’ guild to tell Liz, as was normal, several guildmates greeted me I invited them to lunch when I entered the guild, but unfortunately for them, my only objective was to talk to Liz, I tried to have a long talk with her but because she was still in her working hours, I better asked her to wait for me at the guild dining room when I finished working, with the scheduled meeting of Liz I walked towards Nana’s house to say goodbye to her and her children, I continued walking alone for a few minutes until I arrived at Nana’s house, already at Nana’s house I didn’t think much about it and I told them about my trip and also asked Nana if she knew some interesting cities.

After talking for a long time I said goodbye to Nana and her children since I was not going to see them for a long time, leaving Nana’s house I took a deep breath since I still had to talk to Dina who had become very attached to me, it was obvious that she was in love with me and so talking to her about my trip was going to be very difficult.

I went to Dina’s house and asked her if I could go out for a walk, without thinking twice I accept, after telling the butler to inform her parents we both left the mansion and started to walk, we wandered from one place to another Buying things and eating some sandwiches, we continued walking until we stopped at a small bridge, we stood watching the weights in silence for a while until I decided to talk to Dina.

Dina, I have something to tell you-Kasumi.

Dina turned me to see something embarrassed.

W-what is it? -Dina.

Shyly, Dina asked me as she blushed even more, my soul ached when I imagined how her face would change to one of sadness, but even knowing that I did not stop.

I’ll leave town tomorrow-Kasumi.

And as I expected, Dina’s expression changed drastically.

You … you will go tomorrow …- Dina.

Yes, I’ll go on a trip for a while-Kasumi.

I’ll go with-Dina.

No-Kasumi.

B-but …- Dina.

It’s too dangerous, I’d feel better if you stayed here-Kasumi.

No, I-Dina.

NO! -Kasumi.

I answered Dina with a slightly raised voice, Dina hearing me was completely silent staring at me.

Dina, I know about your feelings for me, I’m not as clueless as you think-Kasumi.

That …- Dina.

But, I’m sorry, the trip I have planned is very dangerous and protecting you will be very difficult …- Kasumi.

When Dina heard my words, she stared at the ground with a very sad expression.

It would only be a hindrance … right? -Dina.

Although it was something that I tried to hide that was the main reason why I did not want to take Dina, constantly protecting her from her would be difficult for me and I would not always be by her side to protect her.

Yes … you would only delay me-Kasumi.

I understand … then this will be goodbye-Dina.

Dina quickly turned around to hide her face in which I could notice some tears, she remained standing for a moment, but she began to walk slowly without turning to see me.

(Although this is the right thing to do, I don’t feel good doing it.)

Without further thought, I sighed deeply for what I was about to say, I walked quickly to Dina and took her hand.

It’s rude not to let people finish talking-Kasumi.

Dina stopped the moment I grabbed her hand, but she didn’t turn to see me.

Your words of rejection are enough, I don’t need to listen anymore-Dina.

I never said that it did not correspond to your feelings-Kasumi.

The moment Dina heard my words, she looked at me directly, as I expected there were still tears on her face, I wiped Dina’s tears with a handkerchief and stared at her for a few seconds.

I can’t bring you with me, but that doesn’t mean that she rejects your feelings, although to be honest, this is the first time someone has come forward and I don’t know how to answer you-Kasumi.

It doesn’t matter, I’ll wait for you to come back and when you do I want a yes from you-Dina.

Well I’ll try to do it-Kasumi.

Promise-Dina.

Without further ado, Dina made me promise my words with my little finger, I wandered for a while with Dina until it was time for her to leave, I took Dina to her house and said goodbye to her with a quick hug and continued walking to my last destination, the adventurer’s guild, after walking only for a moment I got there and entered, I went to the dining room, already in the dining room I approached where Liz was sitting reading a book while having a drink without giving her many laps I sat in front of him.

Making a lady wait, what little chivalry on your part Kasumi-Liz.

Sorry, I was busy with some things and before I knew it it was too late, as an apology I will pay the bill for everything for today, what do you think? -Kasumi.

I accept your apology, but on the condition that we eat at the restaurant of my choosing-Liz.

Sure-Kasumi.

Liz put her book away and went through one of the guild doors, I waited for Liz for a few minutes until she came back but this time she was wearing a somewhat tight black dress, as it was starting to get dark it was a perfect dress for a dinner.

Shall we go? -Liz.

Sure-Kasumi.

We left the guild and walked to the neighborhood division and crossed to the noble neighborhood, we continued walking for a couple of more minutes until we reached a building of about five floors, in front of the building there was a very elegant sign with the name of said restaurant.

Have you ever come to this place-Kasumi.

No, only nobles can come to this restaurant, I heard it’s the best in the whole city-Liz.

I figured it out, wait a minute, I’ll change my clothes in an alley-Kasumi.

I left Liz for a moment and walked quickly to an alley that was completely lonely, I quickly changed my clothes to one of the most elegant outfits that I had in my inventory, with my clothes already changed I left the alley and again I returned with Liz.

Ready-Kasumi.

We walked to the entrance of the restaurant and as it was obvious they looked at Liz with a frown due to her outfit, since unlike my clothes, hers could tell the difference in quality, I did not pay much attention to people and when one of The guards asked for my card I showed it to them, as it was obvious, just by showing my noble card everything was fixed, the prestige I obtained by showing my card was such that they did not ask for Liz’s card, which obviously I did not have but in my pocket already had a fake card in case they asked for it.

We went up to the terrace of the restaurant where there was absolutely no one, the whole place was completely empty, the butlers treated us magnificently and left us a bottle of wine with two glasses in the center of the table, they gave us a kind of menu, which absolutely Everything cost upwards of ten silver pieces, Liz when looking at the prices of the meals approached me.

We better get out of here, I didn’t think it was that expensive-Liz.

No, I’ll keep my word, ask for what you want, these prices are nothing-Kasumi.

Braggart, if that’s what you want … waiter! -Liz.

We ordered different dishes which were the most expensive on the menu, after chatting a bit with Liz I decided that it was time to tell her, with a bit of seriousness I told Liz that I was going to leave the city.

I figured it out, from the way you started acting the last few days, you seemed bored every time you came and went, I figured you had already gotten bored of this city-Liz.

Was it so noticeable? -Kasumi.

Yes, it has already happened several times with some adventurers-Liz.

Well, putting that aside, I want to thank you for all the times you helped me in the guild-Kasumi.

Don’t worry about it, it’s my job after all and what better thanks than this dinner-Liz.

Are you sure? I can give you anything you want-Kasumi.

Okay, I don’t want anything-Liz.

Well-Kasumi.

We continued talking until it was quite late, I paid the bill which was for some gold coins with the tip included, we left the premises and I began to escort Liz to her house, after having left the noble neighborhood the atmosphere changed I felt more lonely and when we were about to get to Liz’s house, three figures came out of two alleys and began to approach from behind us.

Liz, there are three people following us, and they are not good people-Kasumi.

You know what I think about those kinds of people-Liz.

We continued walking slowly and stopped when the guys who were chasing us were already close.

Give us all the money and we’ll let you keep your lives-Man.

I’ve even lost count of times they’ve told me that-Kasumi.

Without giving it much thought I pointed my finger at the men and without thinking twice I shot them right in the forehead, the men’s bodies remained standing for a few seconds before they collapsed on the ground.

So fast? I see why you do your missions fast-Liz.

Not to mention it-Kasumi.

I kept the corpses of the men and wiped the blood from the floor so that no evidence was left, with the evidence removed we continued walking until we reached Liz’s house.

It was fun while it lasted, too bad you have to go-Liz.

Don’t worry, I will return to this city-Kasumi.

Even so, the guild will feel boring without you-Liz.

A rather awkward silence ensued as neither of them knew what to say.

Well, bye Liz, see you later-Kasumi.

Yes, we’ll meet again later, Kasumi-Liz.

Without more to say Liz turned around and started walking towards the door, I turned around and started walking back to the mansion but I only took about two steps when I heard some footsteps quickly approaching me from behind, I turned quickly and The moment I did I felt something in my mouth, I was honestly surprised since Liz had thrown herself towards me and was kissing me, although the kiss had only lasted a few seconds, her action had still surprised me.

Accept it as my parting gift, bye-Liz.

Without saying anything else Liz quickly separated from me and entered the house, I stayed for a few seconds outside Liz’s house since she was still at the window, although I was not looking at her I could feel her and I could also see her location with the Map.

(My first kiss in this world was stolen by a girl older than me … at least it wasn’t with a man.)

Without further thought I left the place satisfied with the results, although it was not what I expected, after walking for a while I teleported to my room to rest since tomorrow was the beginning of my journey through the new world.

……………………………

I woke up like any ordinary morning, had breakfast with the family and after having something in my stomach I said goodbye to everyone who resided in the mansion, after a quick goodbye I teleported out of the city, I gave him one last look from far to the city and I began to walk to my next destination, the travel plan was to reach the city of the elves since to make the potion that would give me a thousand years of life I needed the blood of an old elf, so even if I didn’t get that ingredient, my life span in the new world was only going to be the years of a normal human.

Without hurry I walked along the road to my first destination, the Rao town which was several kilometers away from the city, as I was in no hurry I just walked calmly.

After having walked for a couple of hours a forest began to appear in front of my view, the closer I got to the forest I could see several small green dots which moved from one place to another, some quickly and others slowly, I checked quickly each point and they were all simply wild animals, without paying attention to the animals I continued walking along the path which had already entered the forest, after walking for a couple of more hours on the Map several red points appeared, quickly check the points and they were all simple Goblins, I continued walking anyway and when I had already reached the place where all the Goblins were, I stood waiting for their attack, it was only a matter of a few seconds before several arrows hit me in the middle of the forest body were destroyed, followed by arrows Barian Goblins leapt out of the trees with improvised weapons.

I stood waiting for the goblins and when they had all left I created mana swords and quickly decapitated them all, it was only a matter of a few seconds for all the goblins to be eliminated, I saved all the corpses of the goblins and cleaned the entire area Without more to do, I continued walking in a relaxed way.

…………………….. …..

Mmmm looks like a wagon is coming-Kasumi.

As I continued walking along the road, a cart appeared on the edge of the Map, I quickly checked with the map and according to it, four people came on the cart, a merchant and three guards, I quickly looked at the information of each one of them and they had absolutely nothing suspicious, therefore, pay no attention to them, after walking for a couple more minutes the cart caught up with me.

Hey boy, where are you headed?-Merchant.

I head towards the nearest town-Kasumi.

That town I suppose is Rao right?-Merchant.

That’s right, and where are you headed? -Kasumi.

I am heading towards the neighboring town of Rao, Uirsh, the Uirsh town is a small town that is very rich in herbs and things related to alchemy, it is a place much visited by trader-Merchant.

Mmm I see-Kasumi.

The merchant took me in the cart for a few hours, while we were riding the cart the merchant told me several stories about his travels as a merchant, after a while we reached where the road divided in two and there we divided, after a small farewell each one took their course.

I continued walking at my own pace and while I was reading a bit about ice magic from my Inventory on the Map, several red dots appeared surrounding three yellow dots, I quickly put the reading down and checked the situation, according to what I was looking at with the Map the red dots were thieves, murderers and a slave trader, and the three yellow dots were three girls, one human and two demi-human who were between sixteen to seventeen years old, it was very obvious that the red dots had no good intentions against the three girls.
