Chapter 5: Yuuji Changing Jobs
from “Magician of the Forest” to “Pioneer”.
Part 7 Bulletin Board Yuuji, Consulting
the Bulletin Board about Preserved Food
【What to Popularize】I finally came out after 10 years, but my home kinda went into another
world Part 11【in Another World?】
1 : Anonymous ETNE
This is the thread to enjoy
the reports, images and videos of another world that 「Yuuji」 has uploaded.
Is it really another world?
How did he fabricate it? This is the thread to verify this.
Yuuji had a deal to transfer a
knowledge of this world with the peddler.
What kind of knowledge to
transfer? It is prohibited to post only non-idealistic reply! Reposting is also
prohibited!
The next thread will be set up
by the one who posts the 900th!

212: Anonymous NEET
Ero-book, ero-print, ero-novel
Ero will save the world!
Turn the Otherworlds into
HENTAI!
213: Anonymous NEET
This will answer everything
Let’s popularize internet!
214: Yuuji
The peddler came
What he wished for is
preserved food
I repeat
What he wished for is
preserved food
Also, I have received the
books, weapons and armors
I have been taught the
currency
Also, I… am now able to use
magic
215: Anonymous NEET
Guns, gunpowder and cannons
are too powerful
They destroyed nations!
216: Anonymous ETNE
>>214
Wait a minute Yuuji!
There are so many points to
tsukkomi at!
217: I Love Movies NEET
Huh?
Isn’t Yuuji a wizard?
218: Anonymous NEET
>>217
The person himself is denying
this!
That guy said, I am not a DT![1]
219: Well-Informed NEET
Book, weapons, armors,
currency, magic
I’m curious about these points
220: Anonymous NEET
Is it ero-book?
Are there ero-book in the other
world?
221: Cool NEET
Book, currency and magic
Yuuji could upload that
information later
We can then discuss this when
Yuuji is not here
Since the messenger has come
The knowledge about preserved
food
>>214
The peddler still hasn’t
returned?
Did you heard anything about
the preserved food just now?
222: Anonymous NEET
We
can just teach him about calori**te right?
223: Anonymous NEET
How about nukazuke[2]?
It can use vegetables and fish
224: Yuuji
>>221
The peddler didn’t return home
This time he will stay for 4
to 5 days
I have heard about them
Also, ate them
Hard bread. Hard
Jerky. Hard, salty. Boiled is
okay
Dried fish. Grilled is okay
Vegetables salt pickled. Salty
Vegetables vinegar pickled.
Sour
Nuts. Normal. Not very filling
Jam. Delicious. But the bread
is hard
Honey. Delicious. But the
bread is hard
Fermented fish pickles. Death
stink. Death
I took photos of them, but
their appearances are normal
Here it is
http://**************
224: Anonymous ETNE
Isn’t that a complete
annihilation?!
225: Anonymous MEAT
Fermented fish?
Something like Hongeohoe or Surstromming?
… You ate it?
226: Well-Informed NEET
So fermented food also exists
in the other world
Well, in history, it had
existed since ancient times, so it isn’t something strange
227: Yuuji
>>225
Only me who ate it.
Since I was asked to taste
everything
The smell is clinging
So Alice and Kotarou went to
my imouto’s room
That thing isn’t a food[3]
228: Overwhelming Dog-Person
Fermented fish to a dog’s
sense of smell…
Run away Kotarou!
229: Cool NEET
Requesting preserved food
while having such line-up
Maybe that peddler himself had
tasted them
Then what the detail on the
request?
230: Yuuji
Portable preserved food
But if it can be sold to the
villages in winter then it doesn’t need to be portable
It’s okay even if it’s not the
main food
Something that can become a
luxury food during a journey
Also something not needing a
water source
He only spoke about these
231: Anonymous ETNE
It didn’t go quite as we
expected, Yuuji!
232: Anonymous MEAT
What a request without any
relative obstacles, Yuuji!
233: Well-Informed NEET
Although, since it can be said
as the first business transaction with a Visitor
Then isn’t he just looking for
something innocuous
234: Anonymous NEET
MUST conditions: 「Preserved Food that can be Produced in Another World」
WANT conditions:
1, Something portable
2, Not needing water
It’s relatively simple
Just like what Yuuji had said
the WANT conditions could be
one or another
235: Infrastructure Worker
>>234
The way the guy summarized it
It immediately turned into a
job
236: Anonymous NEET
I don’t want to work!
237: Yuuji
Perhaps
Also please teach it to me
How to make it and the hurdles…
238: Anonymous ETNE
I forgot!
The one we need to teach is
Yuuji!
239: Anonymous MEAT
Suddenly, the difficulty
turned into Hell Mode!
240: Well-Informed NEET
The technological level in the
other world and the existing materials are still unknown
Well, if we keep saying this,
we can’t proceed forward
So for now, let’s forward some
ideas
Canned food, bottled food
Had the biggest impact and
popularity
241: Professor Acorn
dried persimmon, dried plum[6],
dried sliced daikon
Not good, I got a “dried”
gestaltzerfall[7]
242: Anonymous NEET
Sato** rice[8],
retort pouch curry
243: Infrastructure Worker
>>242
If that so, then curry powder!
244: Anonymous NEET
Hey you guys, you forgot the
most important thing
Cup ramen!
245: Anonymous NEET
Then Chikin Ramen![9]
246: Anonymous NEET
Instant soup
247: Well-Informed NEET
>>244-246
The chronological development
order is reversed [10]
I don’t know if this a
coincidence or on purpose
How startling
Since the ingredients aren’t
that difficult, it could unexpectedly be done, perhaps
It needs tools
Freeze dried vegetables or
other food
Maybe with magic…
Dry fruit
Also fruit preserved in rum[11]
Are there any noodles or
pasta?
Udon is also good
Then confit
Since it’s European technique
I think it’s suited to the period
level
248: Anonymous ETNE
O, oh, confit
249: Anonymous MEAT
Confit
I know this, I know this
I also just ate it now
250: Infrastructure Worker
>>248,249
Cut it, if you know about it,
then stop
I you put the confit into your
chest
You might know something, so
be relieved[12]
251: Anonymous NEET
By the way are there any dairy
products?
Cheese can last for years
right?
252: Professor Acorn
Is there any smoked food?
Yuuji once failed since he
lacks the tools
but the people of that world
might succeed, right?
253: Anonymous NEET
The number of the answers are
sloppy!
254: Anonymous NEET
Can someone put it in order?
255: Cool NEET
・Canned Food, bottled food
Dependant on rust resistant
metal plates and glass processing technology. If it is possible, then it’s
plausible
・All kinds of dried vegetables
and fruit
Dependant on the ingredients.
Or rather, doesn’t this already exist?
・Hoshii
Confirm if rice exists. If it
exists then it can just be boiled
・Dried noodles
Confirm if it exists. If it doesn’t,
then it’s plausible
・Instant noodles
Dependant on the existence of
dried noodles. If it exists then it’s plausible
・Instant soup
Is it practical? Someone,
search for the production method
・Freeze dry
Can it be substituted using
magic? Will it be difficult?
・Various types of pickles (in
rice-bran, wheat-bran, oil, sake, sugar, salt, honey)
Confirm if it exists
・Confit
Confirm if it exists
・smoked food, dairy products
Confirm if it exists
However, since there were「Visitors」 in the past
Dried foods, noodles, confit,
smoked food, or dairy product could exist
So the things that I think are
probably feasible are……
Dependant on the technological
level: canned food, bottled food
or
If dried noodles did exist
then instant noodles are feasible, right?
256: Anonymous NEET
I wish there were information
whether the ingredients exists or not…
Well, I wonder if the peddler
would understand through second-hand information…
257: Anonymous NEET
>>256
Well, this couldn’t be helped
right?
But since it was second-hand
information, misunderstandings might occur
After all, we are talking
about Yuuji here…
258: Infrastructure Worker
It doesn’t need to be
something that can last for years like canned food or bottled food
But can be something that can
last until winter, right?
Then isn’t it possible to be
achieved?
259: Former Talented Salesman
Second-hand information,
huh?...
It will be easy if there are
something like photographs or printouts
But for printing, then we need
to replenish paper and ink…
260: Yuuji
>>259
Ah, I got paper, ink and a pen
261: Anonymous ETNE
Then, say this from the
beginning!
262: Anonymous NEET
Yuuji, can you draw?
You can draw a picture just by
looking at a photograph, right?
263: Anonymous MEAT
Don’t demand something like a
master painter!
264: Yuuji
>>262
That level is…
265: Cool NEET
For now, Yuuji need to
・Confirm the existence of rice
and noodles through drawings by tomorrow
Draw pictures of the rice and
noodles before and after harvesting or after being manufactured and after being
cooked.
・Dried food and pickled food
can be asked about directly
Since there are dried and
pickled fish after all,
just ask 「Is there anything else」 to confirm it
・Is there only one dried
version of jerky? Are there any smoked ones?
I think it will be good to ask
about smoked food and dairy products
Even if it they don’t exist, we
are just asking about the existence
We won’t arrive at the
manufacturing method immediately
Confirm up until this point,
then return back here, alright?
266: Anonymous NEET
So, a protracted war…
267: Well-Informed NEET
How vexing…
268: Infrastructure Worker
Quickly temper yourself Yuuji!
Your body and your knowledge
of another world!
Then go to the town!
269: Anonymous NEET
>>268
Not possible, since Yuuji
can’t enter the city
270: Anonymous NEET
Just say that he is a Visitor
Then he can enter the city,
right?
271: Anonymous NEET
>>270
Hey!
If he is captured and held in
the city
Yuuji can’t come to this board
again you know!
☾☽☾☽☾☽☾☽☾☽☾☽☾☽☾☽☾☽☾☽
Once again, the
board is full of random idea… Interspersed with ridiculous idea.
[7] Gestaltzerfall:
German for "shape decomposition" refers to a type of visual agnosia
and is psychological phenomenon where delays in recognition are observed when a
complex shape is stared at for a while as the shape seems to decompose into its
constituting parts. With regards to kanji, a study has shown that delays are
most significant when the characters are of the same size. When characters to
recognize are of different sizes, delays are observed only when they are of
different patterns. For example in the text, the PA started to only see/remember
words with “干し” or “dried” when he made an example
[8]
It’s a brand: サトウのごはん (satou no gohan), basicaly a sterilized cooked rice pack. Just add hot water
(or microwave it), and voila, ready to eat rice.
[9] This is a
brand name from Nissin. The first mass produced instant noodle of the modern
world. (E/N:
There’s a rocking manga about the whole production process. Project X-Nissin
Cup Noodle. Btw, this manga also shows why it wouldn’t work in the other world.
NO STYROFOAM.) That’s
Japan for you…
[10] What WIN
means is that you must first develop instant soup then the common instant
noodle then the cup noodles. (E/N: That’s a lot of
work for cup noodles. The 2nd step isn’t even that great since it wasn’t
popular in European countries back in the day. No large noodle soup bowls.) This
is just me wondering… Is there any instant cup pasta? *googling* The heck? It
exists!
[12] I don’t
know what he mean… A reference maybe… I spotted it sometimes in nicovideo
comment… But I don’t get the reference…
Here the
full sentence:
その箱にコンフィって打ち込めば
何かわかるから安心しろ
the message board NEETs at the end don't understand the real reason yuuji can't go into town is purely because it's yuuji

ReplyDeleteSuddenly, the difficulty turned into Hell Mode!
ROFL!!! So true, yet so enjoyable. XD
A lot of swedish people do agree.
ReplyDeleteLol what the heck XD
ReplyDeleteI really should've come here first instead of going through other updates!
These NEETs must really have some godly timing for posting lol! What a clean conversation! Earth's NEET can't be this great!
I just have these urges to give likes for some of these posters >.<
.....w8, wat? Yuuji's no DT?
Japanese language is one of the clean language, where disrespectful and profanities is shown by the change of tone, formality, pronoun and word selection. Sadly the nature of how this NEET talking (they actually tend to butcher the grammar) is hard to be reflected in English since as a non-native English speaker and not a 4chan inhabitant, I can't turn them properly into 4chanian Language.
DeleteThanks for the chapter!
ReplyDeleteAll of NEET in bulletin board,why is a need to draw the picture when you have a camera ? After all yuuji already let kevin know the existence of camera
ReplyDeleteThey are bunch of anons and NEETs, Yuuji is Yuuji...

That's the charm of this story...

Japan was re-conquered because of guns. be grateful
Fermented fish pickles. Death stink. Death
ReplyDeleteThat thing isn’t a food[3]
[3] Swedish people might not agree.
While I do agree that it stinks and is disgusting, a food you wouldn't want to eat if you could help it, it is obviously food since it fits the definitions of food, but I can understand people wanting to think of it as inedible, I personally would never want to eat it again. However, please learn this. THIS IS NOT SURSTRÖMMING. Even if the author thinks it is, he got it wrong. Surströmming is NOT fermented and pickled, it's just fermented with minimal amounts of salt and water and left for several months in a sealed container.
http://www.thekitchn.com/whats-the-difference-between-pickling-and-fermenting-229536
Well, whatever. In the first place, it wouldn't be surströmming since it's another world, probably without strömming.
Thanks for the chapter.
ReplyDeleteFreeze-dried food is made by putting food into a vacuum chamber though...
ReplyDeleteThat would be kinda difficult to produce there.
Freeze-dried food is not made from merely drying food and then slapping it into a fridge. I don't quite remember the details, but the boiling point of substances lowers as the pressure drops. Hence, you need to cook noodles for longer when at elevations above 3,5000 feet (~1050 m). So in a vacuum chamber, where the pressure is very low, all the water in food will boil out and away from the food.
The food freezes because in a vacuum chamber, it is very cold. I do not advise anyone to go into a vacuum chamber to test this; a thermometer would work fine. This is due to the lack of air molecules surrounding the food. Air, a fluid, is made up of rapidly moving molecules. Moving substances create friction, which in turn, create thermal energy (heat). Having no air makes the vacuum chamber veeery cold. So cold, to the point that the food "freezes".
Please pardon this long-winded explanation.
