Isekai Method: How to be Transported into a Different World (Isekaied)

Chapter 4 - Walking

I walked up to her and reached out my hand.

"I forgot to introduce myself, I'm Seo-jun Kim."

"Eri Évreux."

Well shit, I did technically help a girl in trouble. Ahaha, fuckin' ey...

I laughed.

"Um, is something wrong?"

"Nothing. Don't worry about it."

After standing there awkwardly, she finally got a word out.

"Is there anything I could do for you? I can't just leave you like this. I'll listen to one thing you ask of me."

I thought over what I could do from then on quickly and took full advantage of the situation.

"Can you help me?"

"With?"

"I want you to help me become as strong as you, or at least become an adventurer that's able to sustain himself. And I also need some financial aid. As you can see, I have no money or equipment."

She thought deeply over it.

"Alright. I'll help you until you're able to sustain yourself."

"I'm sorry, am I asking for too much?"

"No, I'll help, or my guilt won't allow it."

"Well then, I'm in your hands."

Some time passed.

"Eri, is there any inn I could stay nearby here?"

"Just a second."

Eri reached into her pouch and pulled out a map. She unrolled the map and laid it out on the floor. After scanning through the map, she started explaining.

"This is where we are right now, and..."

The map had an unfamiliar language written on it.

It sounded like she was done explaining.

[The map has been updated]

I opened up the map to check.

"Oh yeah, this thing. I saw you use it back then, what is that?"

I didn't really think about it before, but... other people can see this thing...

"Umm, well, it's personal magic I use. I guess?"

She was very fascinated by the UI and took a closer look.

Crap, crap, crap, crap, too close... not this cliche... 

She gave a sweet aroma.

She frowned and asked,

"What language is this? I've never seen it before."

"It's Japanese, something like my home language, sort of..."

Eri was super intrigued

"Can I touch it too?"

"I don't know actually, try it."

When she tried to touch it, her fingers went straight through the menu.

Phew, just imagine what could happen if someone could interact with MY menu on top of SEEING it.

"It seems like you can't, sorry." I expressed my full sorrow for her.

Eri was opening up to me little by little.

"If it's ok with you, may I see your guild handbook?"
