Chapter 385: Kuoh High School (1)

—

Neji learned back in the Naruto World that he could exchange any sort of cash in his inventory for the currency of the world he was in. With the help of that, he quite easily got himself a room in a hotel near Kuoh.

Not that he didn't have other ways to pay. His Treasury of Babylon didn't only have magic weapons, the majority of it was pure material possessions. Gold, silver, and all sorts of jewels.

Still, even with all that wealth, he only managed to get one room. Perhaps due to the nature of this world deriving from an ecchi-harem anime, the cliché where only one room was available, and so a guy had to share the room with a girl, occurred here too.

Part of Neji thought if he should just buy the entire hotel, or perhaps just put the people in a nearby room under a Genjutsu to have them clear the area. In the end, he did none of that, he needed a body pillow anyway, and Asia looked soft enough.

Nothing happened between them that night. It may sound sketchy and outright shocking to people who knew Neji in person, but that just proved how out of the norm he felt right now.

After waking, when it was very early in the morning, he found more information from Mistress Death. Papers and more identification cards are on the table.

It was a basic driver's license, plus some common identifications that gave him a bland background. Born an orphan, who went to the USA for studies, and now returned to Japan after failing to find any good jobs. He applied for a job in Kuoh purely out of coincidence and got the job. His certificates weren't bad enough that he had to teach in a high school, but he took the job anyway to get experience out of this.

He was a purely normal human being. No magic or whatever, at least none that his records showed.

Neji could live with that since his skill [Blank] should make him appear normal even to the Gods of this world. Oh yeah, Gods existed in this world, even though the big G.O.D was dead.

Zeus, Vishnu, Odin, and so on existed in this plane. To add on that, outer gods also apparently existed here, though Neji lacked information on them since he was not a deep DxD fan.

"All of this kinda feels bland though..."

It felt bland. All this identification and background faking. The last two times, Lady Luck was playing with the history of the world to give him a comfortable walkthrough. It was very useful. For instance, if he wasn't sent as Gilgamesh in Fate, he wouldn't have acquired the Gate of Babylon. His quirk, [Mine] couldn't steal anything like this.

If Lady Luck was still his Patron, he was sure she would have given him an interesting background here. If Neji had to guess, he would have replaced the existence of Vali Lucifer, the rival of the protagonist, the White Dragon Emperor.

Neji sighed softly. "Oh well. It is what it is."

Truthfully, he missed Lady Luck. He... missed her voice ringing in his head.

Neji woke up very early in the morning. A bit before 5 AM; since school started at 8 AM, he had a lot of time at hand. He took it easy and went to a supermarket nearby.

He grabbed a bunch of modern food ingredients that he had admittedly missed and went back to the hotel to cook them. He just had to gently ask the chef to let him use the kitchen for a bit, and the old man complied hesitantly. Hesitantly at first, he was more than happy when Neji began to cook. Turns out his skill, [Cooking] that used to be at a full Proficiency once was still quite impressive.
