I have Became Able to Do Anything with My Growth Cheat but I Can not Seem to Get out of Being Jobless

Translator: Tseirp

After finishing my somewhat regular contact with My World, I resumed my climb up the mountain to the Dwarf settlement .

I could see smoke coming from the Dwarf village from afar and I could see it from the sky using Hawk-Eye so I could easily determine my direction .

Initially, I felt that I didn’t have much use for Hawk-Eye but I found it extremely useful as a traveler . It functioned like the peripheral map of an RPG .

Looking at the mountain trail, the path took quite a large detour but the distance in a straight line didn’t seem that far .

Since I could perform three-dimensional movements with my Jump Correction, I ran up the mountain in a straight line instead of hiking up the trail . That said, it was more of a trot than a run .

I was told that I would reach the Dwarf settlement in two hours from the guard station but in actual fact, it took shorter than 15 minutes .

It wasn’t a town so there was no need to pay an entry tax .

The arch-shaped entrance to the village was as expected of a Dwarf village . I could not tell when I saw it from above but the patterns were intricate and beautiful .

If this was in modern-day Japan, this door alone would become a good photo spot .

Or rather, I should just take a photo .

I took my smartphone out from my item box and took a picture . I switched to selfie mode and took another picture with my face in it .

Thanks to the charger and engine for power generation that Miri brought, I didn’t have to worry about recharging the phone so I could take as many shots as I wanted . Of course, I couldn’t upload it to SNS so it was purely photos taken for the memories .

“Oo, that’s a good shot . ”

“That’s right . Well, it would probably be better if there were girls in the photo . ”

I felt regretful that Haru, Carol, and Malina weren’t there .

It would be bad if the Dark-Elves were seen outside, Pionia was a hikikomori, so by process of elimination, there was only Neete left?

Saying that she was the only one left by the process of elimination was a little rude but Neete could be considered an extremely beautiful lady . Although her personality was a little difficult .

“Umu, females huh? Then, should I call the girls from the village over?”

“No, there’s no need … eh!?”

Without knowing, there was an unfamiliar man looking into my smartphone .

He was a man of short stature, bearded face and he was wearing a helmet with what seemed like cow horns .

Right, he was a dwarf .

“Sorry, em … are you from this village? Ah, I am a traveler called Ichinojo . ”

“Umu, I am called Doxco . I work as a blacksmith in this village . ”

He introduced himself in a classic manner .

If this was Japan, that was where we would exchange name cards but naturally, as a non-regular employee working for family diners, I didn’t have a name card . Whereas Miri would occasionally exchange opinions with professors and researchers from famous universities or be invited to the houses of big company executives and bureaucrats to teach something I couldn’t understand so she had a name card .

This is something unrelated but when I faced my 30th consecutive failed interview, I talked with Miri about using her connections to get a job but Miri refused with a smile .

『Using my connections, I believe Onii will get an offer in under a minute for a famous company and be treated as an executive but I feel that if Onii did so, Onii will never forgive yourself . 』

She told me .

At that time I was grasping at straws so I felt despair when she refused . However, after receiving my cheat abilities through the Growth Cheat, I often find myself immersed in self-hate whenever I see how Haru and Carol respected me . It might be a cheat but I have accepted it as a power I possess . If I actually used Miri’s connections to be hired as a staff, I would have probably hated myself even more .

Now I could understand Miri’s tenderness and strictness and mourn my own foolishness .

Well then, I’ll take another look at Doxco .

He said he was a blacksmith .

【Job: Dwarf Blacksmith Lv43】

It appeared .

It was probably the same as the Elf Archer, a race-specific job .

His level was high as well .

“Could I take a look at that? Perhaps that is what they refer to as a gadget?”

” … Yeah, well … you can tell?”

“Because I don’t feel any magic flow at all . ”

I showed Doxco the smartphone .

He asked if he could touch it and I wanted to refuse but in the end, I passed it to him after cautioning him to not break it as it was delicate .

Doxco seemed to be a mass of curiosity as he examined the smartphone and asked me all kinds of questions . Of course, I didn’t know the specific composition of a smartphone so I couldn’t explain it to him well .

However, after somewhat describing it to him,

“I see … the shape is different but this is a communication device . I guess it is the gadget called ‘cell phone’ . ”

… !? Doxco didn’t say anything wrong . But I understood .

Doxco said the word ‘cell phone’ in Japanese . It was not translated .

I was sure that the tool called a cell phone was not present in this world . It does not exist so it won’t be translated . Since it will not be translated, somebody must have told him in Japanese and it remained that way .

“Who did you hear that from?”

“The inventor called Daijiro . ”

“You know Daijiro-san!?”

A sudden development . A timely development .

Even though I have not entered the village, I found clues to Daijiro-san … maybe .
