[Project Entry] Automatic #KazemakaseLiteratureClub

The world is made of unreasonableness.
It seems that doesn't change even after being reincarnated.

When I woke up, I was in a stranger's house.
Still wearing my middle school uniform.

Apparently, they saved me when I collapsed in the forest, but since we couldn't understand each other's languages, I don't know the details of the situation.
Wait, isn't language ability something that's naturally granted when you're sent over?

Honestly, being surrounded by unfamiliar faces the moment I woke up and being bombarded with a language I didn't know was nothing but terrifying.
I didn't understand the words they were speaking, and the written characters were meaningless to me.
I could barely make out the numbers, if that.

And, when it comes to otherworld reincarnation, what you look forward to is a special skill!
Since I was sent to a world of swords and magic, I should have been granted some ability advantageous for battle.
Even if not that, there should be some cheat technique useful for crafting tools or conquering dungeons!

I had been expecting that for about a month since I came here.
I tried my best through trial and error to find the skill granted to me, but in the end, I found nothing.

In short, a real middle school second-year student was suddenly sent here with the same knowledge and physical strength as in their original world.
No, no, no, no, that's a cruel joke.

The only salvation was that I could do calculations.
And not even anything special, just elementary school arithmetic. Plus, things like knowing 1 liter is 1 kilogram, that level.
That alone gave me value, and I was able to stay in the house that had taken me in.
I didn't like studying, but now I want to say it out loud: studying saves lives!

While teaching the villagers how to calculate, about three months passed, and in the middle of the night, the room suddenly lit up, and before my eyes as I jumped up, someone who looked like neither a fairy nor an angel appeared.

“Well, good evening.”
“Huh? Who are you?”
“I am Taran, here to apologize for the deficiency in the automatic ability granting this time and to provide appropriate measures.”

The guy bowed low and handed me a business card.

“There was some kind of malfunction in our company's automatic ability granting equipment, and we apologize for the great inconvenience caused to you, the customer. Therefore, we will grant you the skills you were supposed to have when you arrived here.”
“Eh? I can become a skill holder?”
“Of course. Normally, when you come here, you should have been granted language comprehension ability, a skill suited to the individual, divine revelation, military funds, etc., but we apologize for the inconvenience caused by this system malfunction. To ensure this does not happen again, we will review the system construction and thoroughly manage it, and we will also provide some service.”
“Huh...”

I don't know much about their circumstances, but just getting language comprehension ability is a huge help.

“Then, here we go. Yes!”

A flash of light ran through the room, and when my vision returned to normal, Taran was gone.

There is no change in my body.
However, if what Taran said is true, it means I have finally become a skill holder.
My heart is racing at the gravity of the situation now that it's too late.

Tomorrow morning, after I wake up, is when the real thing begins.
Is my otherworld reincarnation story finally starting—?

Thank you for reading.
I participated in this project.
To the organizer, thank you as always.

~Postscript? Rumination? Superfluous?~
　[Afterword]

It's a bit late to say this, but reincarnation stories are very popular, aren't they?

Honestly, I wasn't very familiar with them when they first started appearing, but as various patterns have emerged, I've been gaining knowledge little by little.

I'm not well-versed in recent games, so there are times I don't understand the words that come up, but there, well, somehow...

Personally, I like stories where they don't suddenly have cheat abilities, but instead use modern knowledge or their own inherent abilities to conquer things step by step.

I hope this protagonist will also steadily level up starting tomorrow.
Well, I suppose the protagonist himself is hoping for a one-shot reversal cheat skill, but the world isn't that easy.

Thank you for reading until the end.
I look forward to seeing you again.
