I, Shinichiro Sano, am a traveler with a system. Although the tasks from the system are all strange, the rewards are even more...refreshingly unique. For example, a hammer that can't cause any damage, a scooter that goes incredibly fast, a coat that makes you lose your sense of direction after wearing it, sunglasses that make it impossible to tell humans from animals within a radius of five hundred meters, and so on... What? You're asking how I can live better in this world? Shinichiro Sano chuckles and puts on a disguise: In the world of rivers and lakes, one cannot avoid getting caught. If you want to avoid getting caught, you have to create multiple identities. The more disguises I have, the more amusing it is. I'll be the one waving the flag for the liquor factory.
