Chapter 6: A Gift from Japan
When I, Saioji Shizuku, arrived in another world, the very first event in my new life was running away from kidnappers.
It happened shortly after I entered high school. I was waiting for my family's car in front of the school gate when, without warning, the scenery changed. The asphalt road and towering skyscrapers vanished, replaced by a hill covered in magnificent wilderness that looked like something out of a television documentary.
“That's definitely a Divine Child! Grab her!”
The place where I appeared wasn't far from a town and offered a clear view of the surroundings. However, there was also a nearby forest where bandits were known to hide.
A lone woman who knew nothing about the world would naturally become a target while walking along the forest road toward town. And that was exactly what happened to me.

Had I not possessed special powers, I might have been captured and abused by those criminals—or sold to slave traders and forced into a life of slavery. At the very least, my future would have been a miserable one.
Several months passed after I was transported to this other world.

The period immediately after my arrival had been terrible, with criminals constantly targeting me, but in a nearby town called Shinensa, I was fortunate enough to meet kind people and gradually built a comfortable life. I worked at a small shop run by an elderly couple while searching for a way to return to my original world.
Although adapting to life in this world, known as Asphial, was often confusing, I somehow managed to survive thanks to the game-like assistance I had.
The biggest blessing was that, despite the world resembling medieval Europe, I could understand the language and writing.
The other blessing was my physical abilities. Before coming here, I had never considered myself particularly athletic. Between school and my family's extracurricular lessons, I wasn't especially devoted to sports.

Yet here, my leg strength surpassed the fastest horse in town, and my stamina was so immense that I could run through the entire night and still have energy left over.
The people I met all insisted that these superhuman abilities were due to me being a Divine Child.
When I asked about it, I learned that "Divine Child" was the common term for people who had come from another world like me.
Divine Children possessed extraordinary physical abilities and powerful blessings. Though some were stronger than others, all of them were destined for greatness.

That, apparently, was why adventurers constantly tried to recruit me whenever I visited town.
Because of that, I eventually became an adventurer. At first, I traveled alone. Like the protagonist of a classic RPG, I continued hunting powerful monsters. Before long, people who had heard rumors about me began gathering around me.

It wasn't that I distrusted men completely, but because the first thing that happened after arriving in this world was nearly being attacked by one, everyone I accepted as a companion ended up being a woman.
It wasn't intentional. People often claimed I hated men or preferred women romantically, but neither was true.
I'd like to experience romance like anyone else. My companions understood that perfectly well.
They also knew I traveled from place to place with a purpose. Though none of them ever asked me why, I hoped that one day I would be able to tell them.
About three years after arriving in this world, the adventurer team I founded had grown to roughly thirty members. We had become strong enough to conquer numerous unexplored dungeons entirely on our own.
By then, influential merchants who owned stores in prime urban locations and regional nobles had begun reaching out to us, causing my information network to grow steadily larger. During those three years, I learned that there were others in this world who had been reincarnated or transported here just like me.

Many people from my homeland tried to contact me once I had established myself. However, most of them seemed to have hidden motives. Not all were enemies, but none were people I could fully trust. Because of that, there were no reincarnates or transmigrants among my team members.
Then, everything changed suddenly.
The place was a town called Erakton, an ordinary town with nothing particularly remarkable about it. We had stopped there to gather supplies before continuing our journey toward the royal capital in search of more information.
“It's addressed to you.”
It happened while we were holding a dinner gathering in a small restaurant that we'd rented out privately.
In the entertainment-starved world of Asphial, I was chatting with the members while they happily enjoyed their meal, trying to stave off boredom. That was when Aina, who had arrived late, handed me a package. According to her, the sender claimed it contained something I would find deeply interesting.

What could it be?
Because of our achievements, the adventurer group Dawnmoon Brigade frequently received invitations to dinners and gifts from influential figures. Their motives varied. Some simply wanted connections, while others wanted to hire our entire team. There were even people who wanted to make me their wife.

The package Aina handed me was small and wrapped in thin paper. It wasn't heavy like the expensive tea sets or equipment commonly gifted by merchants and nobles. Curious, I tore away the wrapping paper and looked inside. What I found was…
!!!!!!!! The latest issue of JUAN and a Yume Koi manga?!?!?!
Many people had bragged that they possessed something capable of astonishing me.
For example, a man who wanted me as his wife had gifted me an accessory made from dragon scales, knowing I was an adventurer. It was beautiful, but it hadn't truly surprised or moved me. After all, I could defeat a dragon by myself.

At this point, I possessed both wealth and power. Most things could be obtained through my own efforts. So I had assumed this package would be no different. I looked inside without any expectations. And there, before my eyes, was the latest issue of the fashion magazine that my fashion-loving classmates in Japan had read almost every day. Alongside it was Volume 1 of Yume Koi, the nationally beloved romantic comedy manga of which I had been a huge fan during my life in Japan.
Translation Notes
The name is 西王寺, but since there’s no furigana here, other translators translate it as Saionji (Google also suggested that). In the manga, the first 西王寺 has furigana that reads “Saiouji”; that’s why I’ll use “Saioji” here.
The order of Japanese names will be kept as is. Family name first, given name last.
