If man ‘Levels Up’, any boring work can be repeated with endlessly―Natsuno Taiyou.

When Taiyou woke up he received from a fairy “The ability to Level Up in the real world”, but immediately when leveling up boring work, surprisingly ‘charm’ had dropped down!―However, the charm level that was originally 0, has thank god become ‘6553’!

Taiyou aims to level 100. And enjoy a harem life with seven brides.

Digging a hole, filling the hole.

Digging a hole, filling that hole.

Dig the hole again which was filled, then burying it again as soon as it was dug.

Rather than not only being a pointless act…… it’s wasteful. The high madness rate is alongside  swatting flies with a sledgehammer, it is work that’s used for prision punishment in some countries for its high destructive power to the mind.

Currently, one boy performs this voluntarily.

At night, inside a quiet small park residential area.

Influencing recent social conditions, ‘Playing ball is prohibited’ and ‘chatting is prohibited’ at the place’s entrance begins the seventy seven individual ban matters written on the built sign. When a person comes to this ‘Close to the Public’ they will simply think around nothing will be finished and the facility’s existence itself is called a tax waster.

Natsuno Taiyou was there.

He does an act that isn’t prohibited by the signboard there.

With a large shovel that’s handy with winter snow shoveling, dug a hole in the middle of a sandbox.

Digging a hole, filling the hole.

Digging a hole, filling that hole.

Dig the pit again that was filled, then bury right after it was dug again.

He wholeheartedly continued the act that could no doubt only be called pointless.

Of course…, it’s an action that isn’t prohibited from the sign.

At least for now.

Everytime he digs one, he feels something gathering in his body.

Whenever he buries one, it feels that something is piling up in his heart.

Taiyou keeps on digging and continues burying.

A lot, a lot, a lot, and a lot……

“Do you mind just a minute sir?”

When the so called brain juice almost almost came out, Taiyou was suddenly called out and his face was illuminated with a light just after that. His eyes narrowed to the sudden radiant, turning his face from the light and made a sunshade with his hand.

“What――police officer?”

He raised a voice of irritated, but was startled then immediately lost his voice.

The man there dressed in a navy blue cap and uniform, is a public servant of this country called by the nickname police officer.

If this person was a woman, that is a policewoman as the other party, the heart pounding would be a good meaning. However, Taiyou that held interest to the man the same way as a water flea’s mucus became immediately sullen.

His face was shined on with a radiant flashlight, disturbing the thing he was doing.

“What is it sir?”

“What, are you doing here?”

“What I am doing…….ah!”

Taiyou is speechless at the police officer’s question.

In order to answer back, he surveyed around himself. Thereupon he thought of returning “Do you have a complaint?” with an attached shout, but shortly looking at the place where himself was and the thing he held, and furthermore even noticed that his objective action just before being called out looked suspicious.

Then the momentum until just before faded within an instant.

“Um……that……”

“Yes?”

“That, no uh……”

“Speak clearly, what were you doing?”

“I was……digging a hole, yeah……”

As he mumbled, Taiyou was having a hard time saying it.

Then the police officer that looked like he was already observing an suspicious individual, knit his eyebrows further, almost to the extent of receiving a thick paper line.

The police officer later lite up the hole that Taiyou dug with his flashlight, then alternately compared his face and the hole’s inside.

“What are you digging? Or are you burying?

“Eh? No no, I wasn’t buying anything!”

Taiyou completely panicked to the charges that suddenly dropped.

A person digging a hole without putting up an umbrella in the rain, he imagined that the policeman would question the accorded scene……….it’s as though such a scene plants fire.

Naturally because he didn’t go in such a direction that’s suspected, he became completely flustered.

“It’s only digging; like dig, bury, dig, bury.”

Saying that, Taiyou reproduced the repeated actions until now as if prove innocent. However as much as he did it, the eyes of the police officer had a look like the eyes that was watching an even more suspicious human being.

“Here at city block three Weave building park, one suspicious person discovery. The suspicious individual wears a uniform of Weave building Senior High School―”

“Just a minute! Where are you contacting with a radio?”

“You, name. You look like a student, but is the uniform yours?”

“No no, since I’m only digging a hole and burying it, nothing is suspicious.”

“You said so at the beginning.”

“I’ll say it until the end! Since I am doing nothing.”

“Is that so? Is it the truth?”

“I only dig then bury it since it’s detestable.”

“I understand I understand, shall I hear the story in the police station?”

“You do not understand it at all!”

“Listen, leave the hole as it is, place the shovel in the ground, cross your hands behind your head, and don’t resist.”

“I’m already treated like a criminal!?

“I’ll wait until the count of three.”

“No, since―”

To defend himself, he stabbed in the sandbox with a crunch.

That moment―

“TERERETEtTEtTE―♪ Taiyou has increased in level!”

Before him, a fairy approximately 11 inches in total length jumped out of nowhere.

She had golden long hair with a green picture grass dress. Indeed like a fairy’s appearance, she flapped her back wings like a butterfly.

Taiyou impatiently looked forward to the news that she brought.

“Ooh, finally I raised a level!”

“Yes sir~, with this you’re now level three!”

“Three huh, it surprisingly took some time.”

“That’s not so~, it might feel long to you, but because the level of speed to enter rank 1% is actual arrival time, it’s rather unreasonably fast. It’s the speed level to normally ban scandal cheats.”

“That’s how it is? Well, it’s because I’m only good at Lev. El. Ing. Up.”

“Yes, as one would assume Taiyou. I’ll just call you ‘Level Up Knockout’~ ”

“It’s nice being flattered by you. Did ability also properly rose with this level up?”

“Of course, it rose up tremendously~. But, the Tamanegi Kenshi leveled up ability won’t rise until level 90.”(Tamanegi Kenshi is a reference to Final Fantasy’s class ‘Onion Knight’)

“Yes, although it’s surprising a the game won’t raise abilities. No, teach me the reason please.”

“Yes. First what does display mode do? It only displays when a place raised up and also displays the place it fell down ~”

“Comes down?”

He was surprised for only a moment, however soon understood.

“But if that’s true, then due to that……the HP falls down if a zombie character levels up, and when strength goes up speed goes down.”

“It is that sort of difference!”

As the fairy answers lively, Taiyou held his chin while thinking a little.

“So where there was a change it displays all areas, even if it rises as well as drops. On the other hand, you can also leave out those things. Can you do it that way?”

“Of course I can? But that was an immediate reply~”

“The game that I played till yesterday had such a system, so perhaps this is more appropriate to approach it.”

“That’s right, you understand. Then to do the display ability~”

“Alrighty, bring it on!”(1)

After the interaction with the fairy, Taiyou banged his fists! And after striking, he waited for the fairy’s words with an excited expression. As a gamer he loves this work moment called level raising, and enjoys the moment when the increasing and decreasing of abilities are displayed the most.

Therefore, he completely forgot the situation that himself was placed in. He’d never possibly be able to do that occurrence if he had a decency nerve.

“What are you doing?”

“……Oh?”

Addressed with a voice like he was literally a suspicious person, he shifted his gaze from the fairy to the voice.

“He increased too much!”

“Ooh, more snooping officials~”

There were about five police officers there, surrounding him with cautious like expressions.

Up to the police officer placing his hand on the handgun attached to his waist, the situation was terrible.

“Ahaha…….”

Recalling the situation until just before, Taiyou alternately compares the police officer and fairy’s faces.

“You can’t be seen?”

“Of course! Since I am only for you~”

“Repeat those said frickin’ words…….”

The fairy immediately answered, but Taiyou also felt grabbing his hair.

“Raise your hands, quickly!”

“Okay, since I understand don’t point your handgun!”

While surrendering to the policeman and then being arrested………with a dry laugh Taiyou remember when he met the fairy.

The other day in a long time I read a novel called ”The Deer and the Cauldron”(2), I immediately wanted to play the written main character’s role that came to the point of having seven wives.

Since I am aiming at a point to have a harem with seven wives, please treat me well.

It does have essential details, but I’ll have seven wives! That is to say I made up my mind at a place where it isn’t negotiable, but I haven’t really decided what kind of people will become those seven.

I am going to have one kind of high class daughters since I’d like to obtain her entire house, but the others are mostly undecided.

When seriously doing a harem, I wonder what kind of harem heroines will shine……
