Konbini Ossan Volume 1 Chapter 26 – Body Odor of Aging

Editor:
To drive the goblins away, I focused my mind on activating a certain skill strongly.

Immediately, a foul stench started emanating from my body.

Even I, the source of the smell, grimaced at the horrid stench.

For goblins, who have a more sensitive sense of smell than humans, it was unbearable. All five of them instantly threw up their arms and fled.

After making sure they were gone, I deactivated the skill.

The name of this skill is «Aging Body Odor» — a skill that causes a bad smell to be emitted from the body.

Apparently, this «Aging Body Odor» skill wasn’t given to me by the goddess, but rather something I acquired on my own.

That’s because I have a skill called «Skill Check», which allows me to examine the details of the skills I possess.

Thanks to this, I’m able to look into and keep track of the countless skills I hold.

Even back when I was in the royal palace, I had been using this skill to examine my own abilities.

That’s when I found this skill — «Aging Body Odor». At first, I was a bit annoyed, thinking, “Did they really have to give me this?”

But after checking it closely, I noticed the time of acquisition was set far in the past.

Curious, I went ahead and checked a few other skills.

The result — I found several skills that had also been acquired long before I ever met the goddess.

That led me to form a certain hypothesis.

Perhaps during the process of being transferred to this other world by the goddess, any unique traits or special abilities a person possesses get converted into skills.

That would explain why the skills seem to have been acquired before even meeting the goddess.

I can’t say for certain, but I’m fairly confident in this theory.

After all, I possess the skills «Reading» and «Speed Reading», which I supposedly acquired over ten years ago — which lines up perfectly with the time I was practically living in the library as a university student.

Thinking about it that way, it’s a little depressing to imagine that I might’ve already been emitting body odor of aging back in Japan.

But that’s not the important part.

More importantly, I discovered another extremely useful skill.

It’s called «Insomnia», a skill that removes the need for sleep and prevents you from falling asleep.

For most people, this would be a torturous condition, but not for me. After all, I learned healing magic from Shuri-kun.

By not sleeping thanks to «Insomnia», I can continue working nonstop while using healing magic to recover both my physical and mental fatigue.

Then, once my magic replenishes over time, I can recover my stamina again. This cycle lets me function without ever needing sleep.

Also, I happened to acquire the «Night Vision» skill, which seems to be something monsters commonly have.

Thanks to this, I can see perfectly well even in the forest at night.

That means I can continue gathering herbs at night just as efficiently. Compared to normal herb gathering, this is far more productive.

And that’s not even the end of it.

I also possess a skill called «Pestilence» which is a skill monsters use to spread disease and torment humans. Its effect is rather unique.

The more you make humans suffer from poor health, the more experience points you gain.

It’s no surprise that a disease-spreading monster would grow stronger through inflicting illness.

What’s especially interesting is how lenient the conditions for this skill are.

Amazingly, it works on any human. Even — yes — yourself.

I stay awake with «Insomnia» and force my body to function using healing magic.

During this time, I’m technically living an unhealthy lifestyle. That means I meet the conditions for «Pestilence» to gain experience, and I level up rapidly.

Now, here’s what my stats look like:

——————————
Name: Yuichi Otsugi
Level: 48

Strength: C
Magic Power: C
Stamina: C
Speed: C

Attribute: None

Skills: ERROR
——————————


At this point, my stats are strong enough to live as a proper adventurer. With all C-rank stats, I qualify as a C-rank adventurer — a full-fledged professional.

Of course, having this low of a status at Level 48 is ridiculously inefficient, but...

Even so, becoming stronger is a good thing. I can probably defeat a goblin in a straight fight now.

Which means, my safety is finally secured. That’s extremely important when working.

After all, there’s no such thing as worker’s compensation in this world. You’ve got to protect yourself.

E/N:

What a foul move by Ossan, pun intended. 🤣

These conditions are indeed lenient, Ossan is basically a perpetual human now! And the growth, it's way too fast for a single day! Let's grind!

It Seems the Convenience Store Clerk Ossan That Got Dragged Into the Teleportation of an Entire Class Will Make Use of the Leftover Skills the Heroes Didn’t Want and Become the Strongest

Editor:

                   Author: Ayase Hiura A middle-aged convenience store clerk gets caught up in a hero summoning and is transported to another world! Yuichi Otogi, a dull 35-year-old single man, gets dragged into what's known as a "class transfer" to another world. While the summoned heroes each receive a cheat skill from the goddess and are reincarnated, Otogi was only caught up in the summoning by accident—so all the cheats were already taken, and he didn’t get one. As a consolation, the goddess forcibly dumps into him a bunch of leftover, discarded skills she had gathered for cheat-skill reference and sends him off to the other world. His stats are low, and his skills seem useless. But the old guy doesn’t give up. Before he knows it, he finds himself surrounded by girls—and even some pretty boys—who, for some reason, are all fond of him. And he doesn’t entirely dislike the attention, either. When he makes full use of those...

Konbini Ossan Volume 1 Chapter 25 – Herb Gathering and Skill Imbuing

Editor:
After dealing with the man, I checked the requests posted at the guild. Requests are broadly divided into two types:   - One is the standard request — These are the ones taken on by a single adventurer or a party, and the job ends once the request is fulfilled.   - The other is called a permanent request — For example, exterminating wolves or gathering medicinal herbs – jobs that are always available and have no limit. These do not require prior acceptance at the counter; simply bringing proof of the monster hunt or collected materials will be enough to process the request as completed. No matter how many times these are fulfilled, permanent requests are never withdrawn. By the time I checked the requests, it was already early afternoon, so the easy jobs had all been taken. Therefore, I didn’t formally accept any request and decided to fulfill a permanent one instead. Among them, the one I aimed for was herb gathering . There were several reasons, but the main one was simple —...

Konbini Ossan Volume 2 Chapter 26 — A Man Named Yuichi Otsugi

Editor:
After Shuri-kun deliciously took my virginity, the two of us returned to the shop and completed various contracts in writing. Arisa looked curiously at Shuri-kun, who seemed a bit worn out. But she likely didn’t suspect that Shuri-kun and I had done the deed. Surely, we hadn’t been found out. Or rather, we must not be found out. If Arisa knew, she might genuinely start to hate me. Living together while being looked at like filth by my own niece… That kind of hell is unbearable even to imagine. And yet— Thinking about it more, maybe it wouldn’t be so bad in the short term? (E/N: You masochist freak Unc! 🤣) Well, let's set irrelevant thoughts aside for now. After signing the contracts with me and promising to formalize them later with official documents from the royal palace, Shuri-kun and Marceline went home. Then the peak business hours came, which Arisa and I handled together, and night eventually fell. There was no one left in the shop. At this time, we rarely get customers. Occ...
