The Player is a Part-Timer

Chapter 9: Unruly Introduction

"I will explore you... I will crack your secrets!" she muttered, reaching towards the sky, then clenching her fist with a wide grin, sighing big.

"Hahh... but sometimes, just relaxing is just as good. Spending time far from civilization... alone, with my own thoughts...."

This "modest" mountain mansion was perfect for this little rest and relaxation she needed to clear her head.

Far away from the light-polluted city, the sky was much clearer here, but close enough to modern comfort so she misses nothing usual. Just watching the stars laying on this roof, this nice breezy night filled her with some kind of solace and peace, relieving herself from all the stress remained from her previous life, and came with her daily duties as a business owner.

"Well, with my new body and power, I could do nothing and be fine, simply stealing enough and live a leisure life, or force others to do my bidding and worship me. But that would be boring, and I never really was an ambitious type who want to rule over others or a territory..." she also despised the idea being worshipped like of a "god"... it would came with more nuisance and responsibility to have followers than not having them at all.

"...I leave that to politicians and ambitious people. Yet, some challenges are always needed, or people go rusty. Owning that shop, having that few employees under me, challenging myself with these restrictions, and training with my "training partner" out there from time to time provides the necessary exercise to keep myself fresh, my wits, and body sharp. There is nothing more needed! I feel myself complete for the first time since I was born! I feel... I am in the right place and body! I only miss my mustache and my junk a little bit..." she caressed her smooth and mustacheless face, scratching her groin gently.

"But oh well! Something for something. This body is not as bad as others would put it. In Isekai novels, this genderswap stuff is overdramatized by the writers. Also, my look is designed according to my preferences, so I can't really complain..."

As mentioned before, one of her reasons for opening her "maid café" was to increase her lacking people and communication skills... to heal her ailing mind devastated by her previous work environment and the bullying, over competitive society of 2138.

If she does nothing, with her ageless existence — described by her race's lore — she will go, rusty... even worse! Insane from the boredom and the lack to do with her new self.

"...This annoying tick to always do something might also be the reason of my constant urge to seek new things and explore. Really! It might be due to my avatar's race that I feel this way! Yeah, it must be like that!"

After all, according to the lore of "her people", they were of a race of conquerors, inventors, artists, fighters and sages. But also, terrible tyrants, warmongers and slavers who, according to their history, was even worse racial supremacists than the Nazi Germany was back during the Second World War. They testified the thinking: "If you have power, if you are smart, you have the right to rule over the weak and do as you like. The strong rules, the weak can be glad if they can serve. If they resist, they will be crushed into submission or destroyed..."

"I really hope the negative qualities of my "new race" do not evolve into something akin to a "superiority complex" in my case and incite me to war and conquer everything in my way. It would really make my attempt to blend and have a responsibility free, relaxing life harder. Also, I doubt the residents of this world would just stay idle and watch my attempt to enslave them. All in all... it would just make things annoying and over complicated."

People needed challenges and hobbies to remain sane, and up to the challenge, it was wired in them to be restless after a while. Also, without a goal or destination, life was kinda meaningless if you asked her. It was extra true now as her new race's nature always urged her to do something useful or feel bad and restless.
