Truck Kun Drivers are employed by divine (and maybe not so divine) beings to send heros to another world, there's even a manga where one of the drivers beats a prospective hero to death with a truck bumper to reincarnate them
Props for video creator for sharing it below but putting it here too: Name: Hottoite Kudasai - Juuma to Cheat Life Tanoshii Mitai! Chapters covered: 7/14 Where to start after this video: Chapter 8 Edit: get up to date with translation and indeed it only get cuter.
Why the hell would anyone spend 45 minutes watching a video to chapter 8, when they could read those 8 chapters in probably about 20 minutes? Thanks for the name though
Their first conversation has me giggling over the idea of somebody getting isekai'd and entering a "familiar" contract, not realizing that THEY are the magical pet.
As much as the whole "Modern Cooking would be better then Fantasy Medieval Cooking" ideology is popular in Isekai, I really wish they would stop using it as a crutch. Especially with soups, considering it's believed soups are as ancient as the creation of clay pots. It's not something another world will not have, especially when they have decently looking platery. At the very least, there is evidence of recipes for soups and stocks from civilizations starting around 6,000 BC. Boiling chicken bones would be nothing new. Using herbs and spices would be nothing new. The only thing that would be different is the preparation technique. Steaming might be considered a "Strange and New way to cook" considering almost everywhere
I have the same problem with "bland food" tropes. The point is, people throughout history DON'T want bland food. They'll go out of their way to find herbs (leafy parts of the plant) and spices (non-leafy parts, aka bark, roots, seeds, flowers, etc) to flavor their foods, whether it's sourced locally or through trade. The nobles and royals of medieval England & France were famous for using a whole host of hard-to-get-and-thus-expensive spices from foreign lands...until the Age of Exploration (the Age of World Travel) made it a lot cheaper for common folk to start using exotic flavorings. Then the nobles, determined to prove they were more important and more cultured and more refined *(eyeroll)* than the commoners, started declaring that the height of cuisine was *locally sourced* flavorings. At that point, that was when the upper class members of French society started insisting on using "herbes de Provence," translation-literal locally grown herbs (Provence is a region in France known for its excellent agriculture)...and of course the English nobility soon followed. Literally, they did it just to differentiate themselves from the "crass vulgar spice-crazed commoners" by pumping the local flavorings which were up until that point the main flavoring source for commoners, since it could literally be grown in their yards. (In corellation, this is also why we started growing grass lawns. Prior to that point, only nobles could afford to let land "go to waste" and not grow anything on it. Herb and vegetable gardens were common everywhere before folks were encouraged to grow grass lawns "just like the fancy folks!" The stigma attached to having a vegetable garden, especially in the front of one's home, was so strong, that it required World War II and its slogan of "grow a vegetable garden for victory!!" to get people to start doing it again...but they soon went back to "landscaped and manicured lawns are THE only way to use your land!!1!" *more eyerolling* So...yeah. It's all about trying to one-up people, and having to pull a Uno Reverse on the whole spice trade versus locally grown herbs.) At the same time this was happening, cooking with coal in coal-fired stoves became popular (due to deforestation and the increased cheapness of industrially-advanced coal mining--and more importantly, coal transport--making it more affordable)...but coal fires put out a nasty-flavored smoke. So a LOT of the pan-frying and open-pot cooking that had been done prior to that point had to be set aside in favor of lidded pots, so a lot of lidded baking and boiling happened in order to keep that nasty flavor from getting into the food. Unfortunately, when you reduce the ways you can cook foods, you reduce the ways you can flavor foods. Certain aromatics and flavor profiles do NOT survive boiling intact. Once coal-fired stoves became a thing, frying was definitely not a commonly made food--fats are precious and expensive, so you don't want them to go bad from being overly hot, OR getting weird (coal fire) flavors saturated into them, which wastes that precious fat before you've wrung out as much use as possible from it all. (It's the same reason why places like McDonald's have a completely separate frying vat for fish patties, so that the fish flavor doesn't infuse into their fries, their pocket apple pies, etc, etc...because it DOES infuse the oil with a fishy flavor.) But prior to that, there were a lot of foods that were fried, stir-fried (by any other name in Europe), as well as steamed, roasted by an open fire, roasted in an oven, so on and so forth. Two channels that help to dispel the myths that folks in ye olden days didn't cook anything but bland food are the Townsends channel (they focus on the lives, gear, and cooking of the 18th century), and Tasting History with Max Miller. While sometimes they do cover bland food (hard tack is a constant, hilarious call-back cameo on Max's channel--those who know, know), as often as not, they cover things with spices from all over. Even ancient spices that are very hard to find nowadays, but which when cooked take on a richness and flavor complexity not often found in modern cuisine.
Remember if you wanted to die let our truck-kun do it and the next time you woke up you are in another world (Pls don't take this comment so seriously remember there are more things that you don't know about this world so pls don't end your life)
Tried for a quick read and it was indeed quick, to be precise, dropped it early. Though I quite like the generally casual and bright tone as well as vibe of the read, It is easily as much of a headache as it may be relaxing. Case in point, Mc is too casual and careless from the get go, lacks a major senses early on such as a sense for stranger danger and common sense e.g., Mc easily approaches strangers and lets slip information without really thinking about it. Can easily see signs of trouble brewing and drawing closely then and there. But most likely, Mc will be able to solve them with ease, that or have little to no real impact aside from bringing conflict and some drama. Might've judged too hastily but yeah. Not the first read that rushed and used such overused tropes, among other things.
Poor baker but also i dont know what he expected you just met a kid with a finrir protection they may be a kid but ya might know how familiars work yes then that fimilar knows randoms cant be trusted instantly so dont entirely expect youll just get to give some random little girl with no memory ride on shoulders or something
Why is the voice-over saying the names wrong, adds an R to Baker and a U instead of an I for Mizuki? Messes with me reading and hearing the wrong name.
Truck-kun got a skill upgrade from its people grinding. you see, the ability is to disguise itself as another vehicle so it doesnt stand out being the same one showing up at all the "accidents"
This is very dangerous because in 2018 there was a guy called Povandolakoviscov Kityionshikov. Why did you skip the name, now I'm not going to finish the story
So... I don't see the name in the comment section (from the creator of this video)... Disliked the video on the principle of the matter. You say Title in the comments, in the description of the video, so I can only assume you lied about it, or deleted the comment after a set amount of time.
