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

Maldea Planet.

I returned to the usual warp room in the Institute.

The usual white-coated researcher turned her head to look at me, as if she noticed my return.

"Hmm?　Oh. It's you. Long time no see."

"Oh, hi."

I wonder when this person is going home.

She' s always here, which makes me a little concerned.

"It's been a long time, hasn't it? Have you been playing around on Earth?"

"No, I was working all the time. I was working with a company over there, developing a device for Maldea."

"Wow. You're doing something quite interesting. What did you make?"

"It's called video games."

When I show her the Switz, her eyes twinkling as she brings her face closer to the Switz.

"Looks like an old-fashioned device. Is there something on it?"

"Shall we try?"

I start up the Switz , show her the game, and explain it to her.

"The buttons on the left and right side of the screen are used to control the character. The goal is to get to the far right."

"Ho... this is an unusual play. You're moving the image."

"Would you like to try?"

I handed her the Switz and explained the operation, and she began to operate the Maruo with a quick tap of the button.

"Noooo, he's dead!"

She panicked as Maruo hit the turtle and fell.

It was a very cute reaction that didn't match her serious appearance.

"You'll come back to life soon, so you can try again and again."

"I see. Hou … This is not bad. It's quite an interesting play"

The researcher continues to play with a not-so-subtle expression.

Apparently, she likes it.

"Yes, I'm thinking of selling this in Maldea, what do you think?"

"Hmm. It's a new type of entertainment that I haven't seen anywhere else, and I think it's good. Some might say it's silly, but some will get into it. How much are you planning on selling it?"

"That's 500 bells for one console and one software package."

"Hmm, that's pretty reasonable for a plaything. it's not that expensive."

Roughly, 500 bells would be about 50,000 yen in Japanese terms. [480 USD]

The price is more expensive than the price sold in Japan.

However, many families in Mardea are financially secure, and there is no market for video games in the first place.

I want to start with this price because I can only ship a limited amount at first.

"In the future, we'll be able to put various software on this device and play with it. I plan to sell the software for 80 bells a piece."

"Hmm, so I' ll be able to play a lot of different games. That's great. Can I help you with something?"

"Oh, you'll help me?"

"Umm. I'm sure there will be some interesting attempts I' d like to get involved with."

"Is your job okay?"

"My job is to research things that interest me. Right now it's this plaything called Switz. Earthling, they can make some pretty interesting stuff huh."

And so, at last, the first collaborator in Maldea had appeared.

The people of Earth seem to be cooperating fully, but Maldea is all by myself. It's a huge help.

"I'm Galena Miriam. Nice to meet you."

"I'm Lina Marderita."

It was reassuring to find that Galena, a researcher, had joined me.

She was also able to quickly find a way to mass produce the magical components of the converter and cover the cost.

"You're free to use the warp room for transport."

Galena looked very reliable in my eyes as she said this.

"Thank you very much!　Um, is it possible to fly to Japan next time?"

"Yeah, just point me the location on the map."

"..."

This person's map designation is not very reliable, is it?

Well, basically she is excellent.

Anyway, a transport route between Japan and Maldea have been created.

I just have to go home once.

I left the institute and returned to my parents' house.

"I'm home."

"Oh, Lina. Welcome back!　How was your work?"

"Yeah, it turned out pretty well"

My mother welcomes me and immediately prepares dinner for me.

Ah. After all, I can feel relaxed at my parents' house

Japan is nostalgic for me, but over there, the guards are so tight.

The fact that no one pays any attention to me seems like a wonderful thing.

I spent some time talking to my father and mother, slowly passing the time.

The next day.

I was lying in bed at my parents' house, communicating with the Earth.

The United Nations, not the U.S. government, contacted me.

It seems that they had a good discussion and decided to use the magic stone for the whole world.

From now on, it will be delivered to the UN headquarters.

Well, that's only after the video games are sold.

Also, Nikkendo sent me an email as well.

We're discussing the timeline for the completion of Switz for Mardea.

Nevertheless, it will take time to localize and mass produce the converters.

We had to wait for a while.

In that free time, I wanted to do a few things.

I fiddled with my device and connected it to Earth's net.

I opened a site called yutube.

It is the largest video distribution platform on the planet where individuals can post videos and send them out to the world.

Why don't I use this to send the image of Maldea to everyone on Earth?

That's what I thought.

The head of the Ministry of Magic had given his permission, and I think it would be a good form of interstellar exchange.

It's a little unpalatable to only talk to the heads of countries and big corporations.

I want all the people of the earth to know about Maldea.

It's not just about superior magical technology, it's also about everyday life.

Maybe my parents from my previous life will see me.

If it was still too difficult to meet in person, I wanted to start there.

That's why I decided to try posting a video on yutube.

I can give instructions directly from my device to the PC I bought in Japan.

It allows me to post from Maldea to the Earth's net.

Well, first things first, let's shoot.

This is the so-called selfie, where you hold the camera in your hand and point it at yourself.

There was no need to be embarrassed, since my face was already spread all over the earth anyway.

Standing in front of my house, I press the record button and look nervously at the camera.

"Umm, hello, Earthlings. I'm Lina Marderita. I am currently in my parents' house on the planet Maldea. On this channel, I'd like to tell you all about Maldea and me!"

Speaking in English, I point my camera at the house.

The house in Mardea is a rounded building, much different from Japanese houses.

"This is my home. It's very different from Earth's, isn't it? It was made by architectural magic."

I explain as I walk and shoot.

And then I walked into the house.

"This is my mother!"

"Hello!　Hello, people of Earth."

Mom greets the camera.

Of course, they wouldn't be able to understand her because it's in Mardean, but that's okay.

It is good to deliver things as they are, just like an exchange.

I shoot close enough to something like a home video, and I post the resulting video on yutube.

The channel name is Lina Malderita in English.

Since I launched it without notifying anyone in particular, it didn't get much play on the first day.

「Is this real thing?」

「It looks like real Lina, but I can't believe it.」

Even in the comment section, words like "half-belief" stood out.

But halfway through, the rumor spread on the Internet, and the number of views exploded the next day.

It has already reached a level of 10 million times, It's getting to a level that I don't know what to do.

It was so popular but I felt calm.

It's not that I'm popular, it's just that they want to see rare aliens. No problem then.

A lot of people were tweeting about this video on social media.

[This video is not fake. It perfectly matches Lina Malderita at the press conference, face, voice, everything.]

[The background image isn't CG either, is it?]

[The video analysis team says it's real.]

[The real aliens have started YuTube =w=]

[I've been looking forward to seeing her again. Her mom is lovely too.]

[No, this is uploaded without any notice, but it's the discovery-level video of the century. ….]

[The otherworldly images are too precious. And Lina is adorable.]

[I subscribed to her channel.]

Just because I put out a video, it's making a big ruckus.

When I checked Japanese TV on my device, I found that my video had been featured on a wide screen.

"First appearance of alien Lina Marderita's mother!"

In such a headline, my mother was shown in a close-up on TV.

On TV, it is shown in Japanese with subtitles.

This will help spread the word to those who are not familiar with the Internet.

Mom. Dad. Are you watching?

I'm living with my new parents in a place like this.
