I’ve Reincarnated, So I’m Going to Try Trading With Earth by Myself

On January 16, 2021 By gutezaguterez0980

I was looking at my phone as we continued traveling to Kyoto by car.

On the online social networking sites, the main topic of conversation centered on predictions about the purpose of Lina Marderita's visit to Japan.

[Coming to Japan after America, it' s something, isn't it?]

[I wonder what she is doing there.]

[Sushi, tempura?]

[I don't think aliens going there for culinary purposes.]

[But there's a story about how she ate sushi at the White House without even batting an eyelid when they served food from all over the world.]

[Cute > w < ]

[That's just a made up rumor.]

[That's it. Japanese Anime!]

[Did she come to Japan to watch anime?]

[Then it's Katana. Samurai Ninja, Geisha Girls]

Amidst all the predictions that no longer made sense, there was one amazing one.

It's a guy named "Narou-lover".

"Actually, Lina Marderita is a former Japanese reincarnated in another world, and the purpose of coming to Japan was to see her hometown in her previous life."

Yeah. He' s so right, it's scary. The Internet scares me.

Apparently, such settings are popular in Japanese fiction circles.

TLN: Naro is syosetu nickname, this web novel posted.

It is not good for the world to know that I am a former Japanese.

The reason is that people will think that I am an alien who will favors Japan to the fullest.

If other countries were to use this as a reason to turn against Japan, it would be a very bad thing. I couldn't even want to imagine it.

I think this is an issue that affects international affairs.

It's probably safer to keep it in the dark.

I'll pretend that I can use Japanese fluently and that I learned it through my efforts to negotiate with Japanese companies.

I actually learned English desperately until I could speak it.

I'm not sure if I can go to Nara under these circumstances.

It's kind of a bad idea to act on my own.

I'm planning to stay for a long time because I'll be developing a game console for Mardea.

I'd like to do something about it eventually, but there's no point in thinking about it all the time.

"Now, lunch box~ lunch box~"

I opened the fancy lunch box I had received at the airport, and my expression loosened at the nostalgic taste.

"Munch~, munch~"

Now, I'm in Kyoto.

We arrived in front of a building with a shiny Nikkendo logo.

There were employees in suits waiting for us at the entrance, and they welcomed us in English.

「Welcome to Japan! Miss Mardelita」

Welcome to Japan, they say.

"Thank you. Japanese is fine."

The employees of Nikkendo were surprised and laughed when I tried to say so in Japanese.

They seem like cheerful people.

As I was led into the company, the lobby on the first floor looked beautiful.

I took the elevator up to the fourth floor and headed to the meeting room.

There, people who looked like executives in suits were waiting for me.

Perhaps she had an interpreter, too, a woman started talking to me in English.

"Haha, Japanese is fine."

When I told the important-looking people directly, they smiled too.

"You speak Japanese very well, Lina."

Someone in a relatively casual atmosphere talks to me.

"Yes. As well as English, I try to learn the language of the country I'm visiting."

"That's great. I still can't speak English very well."

The man who showed his antics seemed to have a nice personality.

After a little chatting and laughing, I decided to get down to business.

"Um, I've played a lot of your games. It was very interesting. it would be a great experience for Maldaea. I hope my point is getting through to you."

"Yes, I'm glad you chose our products. I know that it is a lot of work to sell our games on the planet of Maldea. The government has also requested it, and we want to help as much as we can."

"I see. That's good to know."

"But the technology of magic is something we have not yet been touched by. How do we change the hardware for Maldair, or do we need to tweak the software? Depending on this, the development effort will vary greatly. I'd like to ask you about that first."

"Yes. I also think I need to know the specifications of the game console and software first."

And so, discussing one with another, one by one, the development of a game console for Mardea began.

But it's not with the bigwigs.

I was introduced to the team that would actually design the hardware, and development began there.

Some engineers from a major consumer electronics manufacturer were also there, apparently involved in hardware design.

However, they were unsettled at the words magic power.

"Is it suitable for a home environment that uses magical power as energy instead of electricity?… It's difficult."

One man rests his hand on his head, and the woman beside him begins to groan in distress.

"Switz is based on the assumption that all hardware and software will be electric. It's a bit daunting task."

The developers had a rather tired look on their faces from the beginning of the discussion.

It's true that if we were to tweak the entire contents of a game console, it would take years to do so.

I thought about it for a while and decided to come up with an idea from a magician's point of view.

"Then, please keep the game console intact and do not tamper with it. How about I make a magical device that converts magic power into electricity at the input of the power source?"

"A magical device?"

"Yes. I can make it so that when I connect the Switz to the magical power source in my home in Mardea, the converter will turn it into electricity. This way, the energy going into the console will be converted into electricity, and it will work as usual."

The developers seemed relieved by my suggestion.

"Thank you for that. If you can do that, I think we can manage the other."

"Yes. Then the focus will be on building the converter, localizing the language and other details for Maldeans."

The discussion seemed to be going smoothly.

However, the older female developer looked a little troubled.

"But, Lina. We know you are the only one from the Maldea side. You call it a converter, but we don't have any knowledge of magic. I can teach you the standards of the power supply, though. Can you create a mechanism to convert magic power into electricity all by yourself?"

"Don't worry. I'm a sorcerer of Maldea, and I've been entrusted with the task of negotiating with Earth. I don't think there's anything I can't do."

I graduated from a prestigious magic academy at the age of fifteen and joined the Ministry of Magic, which is something to be proud of.

The brain in this life turns a hundred times faster than the brain in the previous life.

"That's great, but… The converter contains magical technology, doesn't it? We might not be able to mass produce something like that on Earth."

The female engineer asked the straight to the point question.

"That's right. I would like to produce the magical parts of the converter at Maldea. If it's just a small part, an individual can ask a magic company to produce it for them. I'm sure the cost will be low, so please don't worry about that."

"Well, yeah. Then maybe it'll work."

As we continued to discuss one by one, the developer was puzzled but I managed to convince them.

I have to prepare all the mechanisms to convert magic power to Japanese standard electricity.

I asked Nikkendo to work on the localization of the software for Maldeans.

The important thing is what title we choose to take.

"I think the first title should be Hypermaruo."

"Yes. There will be no cultural barriers, and it's an easy game to understand, so I think it's good."

Hyper Maruo is literally a video game character that everyone knows as the round-faced uncle.

In 1985, this title caused a phenomenon in home video games and established the Nikkendo game brand.

The content of the round-faced old man flying, jumping and running around took the world like a storm.

In terms of writing, it's a little interesting story.

But the appeal is undeniable.

The world is filled with loveliness and a good feeling of operation.

And well-crafted action.

It must be attractive to people in Mardea.

It's also good that the game uses very few words, so there is not much translation work involved.

In many ways, it was a fitting title for the first one.

We discussed the software one by one and decided on the first release title.

It's called a launch title, which is released along with the game console.

The first is a 2D action game of Hypermaruo.

The other is a racing game called Maruokarts.

A car with tires is prehistoric from the point of view of Mardea. As a toy, it's all right.

The decision was made without objection, as it is a super classic game that can be played by everyone.

Eventually, I'd like to expand by include games from other companies, but this is the first step.
