Konbini Ossan Volume 7 Chapter 2 — At This Late Stage

Editor:
It felt like nearly two hours had passed as we shared our thoughts with each other.

The conversation had spread from personal matters to the future development of the businesses I was running, including the magic tool shop.


"So, Yūichi, you don’t plan on stopping yourself from jumping into new ventures anytime soon, huh?"


"Yeah. This world is still a harsh one for us, no matter what. If we’re putting our happiness first, then I want as much power as I can get. There’s no such thing as having power you don’t need."


"Well, I agree with that. But if it turns into you working all the time and leaving me alone like you have lately, then I don’t like that, okay?"


In a sulky tone, Arisa voiced her complaints about my recent behavior. She was right.

Even accounting for how busy work had been, I’d left her alone for far too long.

Now that we were officially husband and wife, I had to make sure that never happened again.


"Got it. I’ll be careful."


"Good. That’s what I wanted to hear."


"And if you want, Arisa, how about working together with me? If you’re doing the same work I am, then we can always be together."


"Eh? But would I actually be useful?"


Arisa said this uneasily, but from my perspective, I’d welcome it wholeheartedly.


"If anything, having your skills would be a huge help. When I borrowed «Calculator» using enchantment magic before, things advanced a lot because of it. You’d definitely be useful."


"I see."


Arisa nodded in satisfaction, then asked another question.


"By the way… when you used my «Calculator», you said you could calculate and understand a lot of things, right? What exactly did you figure out?"


That question was a bit hard to answer.


"Uh, well… a lot of things."


I ended up being vague.


"More importantly, let’s talk about the actual work details."


"Hey, hey, don’t make it that obvious you’re dodging the question!"


As expected, Arisa immediately called me out on it.


"So? What did you find out? Be honest. You’ll feel better if you just say it."


As she said this, Arisa rubbed my head with her fist in a rough, teasing way, pressing me to confess.

Now that she’d noticed I was hiding something, I had no choice but to talk. After all, it was my idea to share things honestly.


"Actually, one of the answers «Calculator» gave back then was a way for me to become the strongest."


"Huh. That sounds like a good thing, doesn’t it?"


"It would be… if there weren’t any downsides."


At my words, Arisa frowned.


"What kind of downsides?"


"Simply put, something that would put your life in danger."


"Don’t be vague. Explain it properly."


Even now, I realized I was still trying to hide things.

I let out a sigh, then finally steeled myself to tell her everything honestly.


"Actually, I found a way for me to freely use your skill, «Calculator»."


After saying that, I began explaining the possibility «Calculator» had once shown — the magic circle for semi-permanent skill sharing.

E/N:

Eh?! Didn't the last time put a huge strain on Ossan? So much so that he passed out? How will he freely use her skill, that too give by the Goddess?

Stay tuned!

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:
Image
                   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...
