《I Started a New Game – I Am the Strongest Even Though There Is No Mission?》 1 - Person Introduction No. 1 Since there are a lot of characters from the beginning, I will introduce the party members without spoiling anything.

He is a regular worker who goes to work in the morning and gets off in the evening, but at night, his limit is 1:00 a.m. because of sleepiness. 2 - a prologue or narrative introduction Under a sky swirling with dark clouds, deformed things scatter in disorder, whether on the ground or in the sky. The only thing they have in common is that they look and listen closely to the man in black armor who seems to be their master floating in the sky. And on one side, knights in unbroken ranks. In the sky, we can also see a group of dragon knights on horseback, with knights in white and blue armor. The reason for the different colors of the armor is that they are not from a single country. The eyes of the knights are focused on the man in black armor floating in the air. Don''t try to make up for it!¡¡¡¡This is a battle of blood and lust!¡¡No mercy, no mercy!¡¡Do not fear death!¡¡Never hesitate!" A man in black armor, accompanied by a white beast and a black beast, raises his voice, and the deformed things let out an earth-shaking yell. "Overrun them!" With one voice, the deformed creatures and the knights move in unison like a tidal wave. --Toward the players. This is a VRMMO''s specially created event space, the first day of a large-scale war. "Let every last man perish!" A huge sword of light is swung down on the players'' line, and before the deformed things and the knights can reach it, the front line collapses. The earth is gouged where the direct hit has hit, and of course the player''s figure has been obliterated. The line of shield-bearers in front of the players is equally affected, and the ground-dwellers rush in through the holes in their defenses. "Ha-ha-ha!" A man laughs in the air. He chats to his friends as he looks at the mixed troops. Homura: Is this how you want the villain to be? Peter: isn''t that good? Shin: Don''t ask! Ochazuke: It was terrible in an instant. Please go easy on me. Homura: No, thank you. Kikuhime: At least give me all your knights! Homura: I refuse. Peter: In that picture, it''s usually knights vs. demons. Leo: Wahahahaha! The man in black armor with his cape fluttering, accompanied by a knight and a hundred demons, is also a player. This is the story of Homura, or Lenguard as he is called, who stands in front of most of the other players and becomes known as an unbeatable event boss, or is admired as the strongest support character. --He is called the "event boss" who cannot be conquered, and is admired as the strongest support character. 3 - 1. Different world VRMMO A pseudo-world perceived by the brain. Aside from the reproduction of sight, hearing, touch, taste, and smell ......, I quietly closed the VR manual when the superficial senses, deep senses, and cortical senses came up. I couldn''t wait to start the game I had purchased, and to cover up my boredom, I started flipping through the thick manual, which I usually don''t read, from the brief manual I had already gone through, but my eyes were still a little glazed over with words I usually don''t see. It seems that VR used to be only a type in which a pseudo-image world was constructed in a real space, a person wore a special visor to watch the images, and actually moved his/her body in that space. I have been looking forward to this VR game for a while now, as it is the first VR game to be released by a company that produces a game series that I like. The visor I purchased for the game allows me to make up my character, but the game itself will not start until the online service starts. The service will start at 8 p.m. on Friday, three days from now. As a working person, I appreciate your consideration. My office is closed on Mondays, though I have two days off a week. I knew that my friends would be logging in all weekend, so I requested another random day off on Sunday and took Tuesday as a paid day off. The first day of the game is sometimes interrupted by emergency maintenance due to a glitch!¡¡I would try to come up with a reason, but I was so busy on Saturday and Sunday that I did not dare to take time off for both. Then came the long-awaited start of the game. After putting on the visor, you log in to the virtual space. I had been living a regular life recently to avoid catching a cold, since it is impossible to log in if you are sick. --I hope my blood pressure won''t be too high. It seems that only the character is saved in the visor itself, and I have two other characters saved that I like, but only one of them can be registered in the game. By the way, he is wearing underwear. I have created and deleted many characters, and finally settled on a male of human race. In the commercials, a wolf beastman runs in front of a tiger beastman, who fights with his fists while chasing the wolf beastman, so the races in the game are probably more varied. There are several kinds of elements for character creation in the visors, but those who are not good at creating characters that cannot be created in an ideal way can connect the visors to each other and exchange character saving data. However, it is not possible to save data on both visors. You can''t copy, only move, and if you want to play with twins, I guess you have to create them the same way again. I chose a young man''s body and a slightly muscular one. This area can be adjusted with the slider. I heard that some people can split their abdominal muscles into six and others into eight, and I have a good memory of splitting them into three when I was in junior high school. ...... It is quite difficult to split them further vertically from there. The character I created over the course of three days has silver-white hair down to her waist with bluish-purple tints and dark blue eyes. He is a little shorter than the maximum height of the human race. It was very difficult to adjust the hair color alone so that it would not look gray. Long hair would be a hassle in the real world, but I think it can be done in virtual space. My name is . Her birthday is April 4, the birthday of a certain character. The character''s name can be used as it is because there is an ID or visor ID assigned to each player, so it is OK even if the character''s name is the same as others''. When you buy this visor, you need to have an ID, and you must be over 20 years old to sell it, and you must have your biometrics verified on the spot. If you want to transfer the visor to someone else, you have to clean the visor completely, otherwise you can''t register it again.¡¡You can''t say "I''m sorry, I''m sorry, I''m sorry. Normally, you can choose from a variety of games for your visor, but this visor is practically dedicated to the game I am trying to play. If you get used to a VR space that resembles reality too much from a young age, you may think that what you can do in a VR space can also be done in the real world, and problems such as jumping off balconies have occurred, so age restrictions are strictly set depending on the quality of the VR space experience and scenery. Therefore, the restrictions on the purchase of the game are strict, but the restrictions on what you can do in this game, where only adults are allowed, are loose. Since the game is intended for adults who have completed their secondary s*xual characteristics, men are free to play female characters and women are free to play male characters, and there are warnings in the manual about humanoid enemies in the game and about human deaths in the story. As expected, logging in 24 hours a day, 365 days a year is restricted even for R20 because of the discrepancy with the real world, but if you are working, you should not have to think about it because it is a restriction that can be cleared naturally. So, three minutes to go until the service starts. You wait, looking at the gray login button in the translucent window. You can adjust the color, transparency, and size of the window as you like. The feel is similar to playing with a smartphone or tablet. You can set the window to be visible or invisible to other players. I was sobbing as I thought about my occupation and skill structure that I was going to acquire. There was no public beta test, so there is not much information about the game, but the initial jobs and races were announced. Incidentally, the game is not yet available on the ! C''s OS is completely different from ours in terms of technical and visual systems, so it is currently not possible to take screenshots and upload them to external forums. They are planning to set up an in-game bulletin board instead. The gray login button is now colored. It is time to start the service. Welcome!¡¡Service is now available. A bright but somewhat flat female voice makes an announcement. In this game, there will be various occasions where the player''s name will be mentioned, such as quest rankings, etc. Do you want your name made public? "Please don''t mention it." Do you have any data to convert? "No, I don''t." I heard that you can connect visors to each other and register friends in advance, but my friend doesn''t live close enough to bring his visor to meet me. First of all, please choose your occupation. You can choose one from combat and one from production. Both combat and production occupations can be selected from a list of occupations. The list of available professions can be expanded by your actions during the game, so try different ones. Open the occupation list and select [Mage] and [Medicine Man]. The other fighting professions are Swordsman, Fistman, Healer, and Thief. The production occupations are apothecary, blacksmith, woodworker, and seamstress. Let''s set the occupation to the slot. Unset occupations will not be reflected even if you have memorized them. Set ¡¾Mage¡¿and ¡¾Medicine Man¡¿into the two occupation slots in a row. The left side is and the right side is , which are also called main occupation and sub occupation in the game. When you level up, you are likely to gain the status corresponding to the profession you have chosen as your main profession. The status is determined by the occupation you have chosen. Please assign 2 points to the ability of your choice.

The most important thing is to be able to see what you have produced and what you have collected. I think I can get a rough idea of the price of [Weapons and Armor Appraisal] at first, too.¡¡I excluded it according to my expectation, but I will get it in time. Water magic is 1S! I will take it in the future. I thought that the difference among the same magic might be due to the compatibility of the attribute with the date of birth and the name of the person. I guessed that the compatibility determines how easy it is to get the S! I think that the number of S! So I am compatible with water and incompatible with fire. ...... is the five elements disguised as Western magic. I took the "gold magic" because I had no idea what kind of magic it would be. I thought that I could predict most of the magic without taking [Skill Appraisal], but this [Golden Magic] is the only one I don''t have any idea about. When I finished selecting the skills, I received a confirmation message, and when I accepted it, the game began. The name of the game is .

Encounter Surrounded by white light, I found myself in a plaza with a fountain. The cobblestone pavement, the smell of the stones on my soles, the plaza full of players. I could distinguish many voices in the vicinity if I turned my attention to them. I was awestruck by a virtual reality world that was far better than any game I had ever played before. The player''s choice of races, beastmen, elves, dwarves and humans, came and went, or stopped like me to look around and show themselves to each other. Maximum height, maximum width, minimum height, glamorous, no bumps. Gorgeous hair color! If you look beyond the people, you can see dark brown columns and white stucco houses around the square, and the ground floor of the building facing this square seems to be a store. The buildings facing the square seem to have shops on the ground floor. The landscape looks like somewhere in Europe, and it looks like a theme park based on the same motif. The impression of being too neat and tidy may make you think so. I thought it was okay for it to be beautiful, and as I took my first step, a log window appeared in front of me, and at the same time, I asked myself if I wanted to start the tutorial.¡¡A rather flat female voice said, "I''m sorry, I''m sorry, I''m sorry. Just to be clear, the flatness is the inflection of the voice, not the chest armor. No figure! Feeling myself getting quite excited, I agreed to start the tutorial. I wish I could manage to be distracted in my thinking when I get excited. Please note that other players will not be displayed during the tutorial. The hustle and bustle of the surrounding area has disappeared. It seems that the field has been turned into a field for quests, and the same scenery that was filled with people just a few minutes ago has turned into a quiet plaza with only a few N! Now let''s register at the Adventurers'' Guild. First, let''s bring up the map. A flashing light appears in the window and insists that you touch here. I simply touched the glowing word "map," and a map window appeared in addition to the menu. The window can be easily imagined as a transparent phone or tablet floating in the air. The size and location of the window can be changed as desired. You can also set the window to open automatically when there is an announcement. This map is for Fast, the city where it all began. Maps other than Fast will show the locations mapped by the skill [Map]. Maps may also be obtained from N! The names of major places, such as the Adventurers'' Guild, are displayed from the time you get them, but you can also register your own favorites. You can also register your own favorites you have found. Then let''s go to the Adventurers'' Guild on the map. During the announcement, a flashing circle appeared on the map. This must be the Adventurers'' Guild. And the fact that only major places are shown means that only big stores like weapon shops are shown, and other stores are not shown. Is it possible to have a hideout restaurant?¡¡It would be nice to find a place with good food. The Adventurers'' Guild was a large building facing the square. Although the heightened visibility and the length of the compass make me feel a little uncomfortable, I head toward the guild with a buoyant feeling. I rub the hem of my robe from time to time, but I don''t seem to mind the stains and frayed edges. When I pass through the open door, I feel a little dim inside, perhaps because I am accustomed to the light outside. There is a reception counter in front of the entrance and another counter on the left as seen from the entrance, and the sign hanging from the ceiling reads <>. To the right is a large room with round tables that looks like a cafeteria, where several adventurer-like looking N! There is no door, just an open space with a wall dividing one third of the room from the back. Inside the guild, there are dark brown floors, wooden floorboards, a staircase, and white plaster walls - the sturdy-looking counters and bulletin boards are a slightly lighter dark brown than the floors, but only the counter tops are two-tone dark brown, almost black. There is a staircase between the wall of the dining room and the counter, and a sign on the side of the staircase reads <>, so I will go upstairs later. I will go upstairs later.¡¡I love the "I love the way it''s set up. On the wall to the left of the entrance, there are several bulletin boards. A man of medium height and medium build was looking at a paper posted on the wall, so I looked at it myself and found a request posted there. Name of the request: Constant Request for Goblin Defeat Client Adventurers Guild Reward: 1 animal, 100 cil. Request name Lulu weed delivery Always Client: The Apothecary''s Guild Reward 1 bottle 10 shill Request name: Find Koro! Duration 3 days Client Mia Report Mia Reward 300 shill Acceptance fee 60 shill The top of the bulletin board says "Rank E". The harmless-looking man next to him is probably looking at rank F, which is one rank lower. The requests are apparently not so different from those in the previous games. Satisfied after reading a few pages, I head for the counter. All the people at the counter are women, and their hair color is more subdued than that of the player. One of the three reception desks was occupied by a short red-haired N! Is it because he is a N!¡¡He was leaning against the counter, facing the woman at the reception desk. It is hard to tell because he was bent over a little, but he seemed to be over the height limit that a player can set. On his back, he is carrying a large, thick sword, which seems to be more than twice the size of the player''s sword seen in the plaza, suggesting the strength of his muscles. A normal R!G would talk to N!C without hesitation and get information from him, but in this world, which is almost like a real one, it would be unwise to talk to someone who is in the middle of a reception procedure and interrupt him from his work. On the other hand, I don''t want to approach a person who is drinking and talking loudly in the daytime next to me. The guy in front of the board looks a bit timid and seems to be easy to talk to, but frankly speaking, I want to avoid him. I did not know where this feeling came from at first, but I realized it while I was looking at the request form. The unreliability of the man does not seem to be that of an adventurer. He may be a novice adventurer, but there is a hint of trouble. Maybe he is an assassin who hunts beginners. Likewise, there is an anxious looking girl who is wandering around aimlessly, but this one seems to be a troublesome problem (heroine) as promised in the game. I usually just let it go by, yes. I''ve got a meeting to go to, so why don''t we just go straight to the reception desk?¡¡We can come back when the tutorial is over. As I looked around without looking, I heard the woman at the reception desk say something that sounded like the name of a man named . Galahad, Galahad is the name of the famous "Unsullied Knight" in the Arthurian legends and the Holy Grail legends. The names of the knights in the Arthurian legends are familiar to us because they are often used for characters in games and novels. In fact, the man at the counter reminded me of a red-haired warrior of the same name in a certain game, because he looked more like a warrior adventurer than a knight. "<>." I mumbled quietly and the red-haired man turned to me. What? You didn''t sound like you could hear me, did you? Our eyes met, and I fumed, but I bailed like a Japanese and looked away. I tried my best not to look at him and went to the nearest window, but he called out to me. "Are you new here, brother?" Yes, I was talked to by a man with red hair as hard as I could. When our eyes met, he looked fearless and powerful with his large body, but now, with his smile, he looked friendly. You see, since my great-grandmother told me not to show my teeth when smiling when I was a child, I have always smiled with my mouth closed, but a smile with white teeth looks carefree!¡¡I wonder when did men in particular start getting better at white tooth glitter. I''m not following the development a bit, my thoughts are spinning like crazy!¡¡Why is there a section in the tutorial that promises that <>! "...... Oh, I''m here for the procedure." Forgive the pause. "I am Galahad, warrior. Nice to meet you. By the way, you said you were an Unsullied Knight.¡¡Sorry to take up so much of your time all of a sudden, but I was wondering if you could tell me a story?¡¡If you want, I can make a request after you register." That''s an unexpected bite. What''s going on here? I wonder about the man who properly identified himself to me as Galahad.¡¡He turns his head slightly to look at me. "I don''t mind, but it''s not much of a story, is it?" He replies, puzzled. I answered in the tone of a character from a previous R! "Oh!¡¡Thank you. The money is 500 shill for the story, and I''ll pay you extra if the information is useful to me, okay?" He thanks me with a smile and offers me a sum of money. A friendly smile on a stern face is a dexterity. "Buy me a cup of tea next door, no charge." Then he looks toward the cafeteria. "Yes, sir!" Galahad gave me a thumbs-up and a wink with an even better smile. Galahad is a man who is far from being a gentleman, but he does look good with a wink. After I answered, I thought, <>I''m a bit bitter about the amount of money for five E-rank goblins, but I can''t undo it now. Galahad raises his hand in greeting to the woman at the reception desk and walks toward the cafeteria. I felt that I was going to be late for the meeting with my friend, but I had no choice but to refuse to talk with Galahad in a game-playing manner, so I followed him to the cafeteria. I had not promised my friends a definite time, and we had both declared that we would do the tutorial, so it would be fine. Besides, they might be doing the same kind of events. Above all, my friends, myself included, are good at individual actions. Even if we have to wait, they will be fighting or producing as soon as possible. I have never had friends who would wait patiently for me. We settled down in Galahad in a corner of a bar, which is now a diner. This is not a diner. It was a bar. There was some food, but most of the drinks we could order were alcoholic. There was barely any water and a choice of barley-like tea, perhaps for mineral supplementation. Adventurers seem to guzzle beer instead of water. As you may have guessed by now, I''m a loser. Hey you! "I am Homura, a mage, after all." I order tea and Galahad drinks and we talk. I ask for french fries and thinly sliced roasted flying rabbit, and Galahad tells me not to be shy and adds more dishes. Smoked eggs, dried fish, three kinds of cheese, nuts and dried fruits. That''s not for me, that''s for yourself!¡¡I regret that I am not close enough to the people in the restaurant to make a comment like, "I''m sorry, I''m sorry. The names of the meat are different from those in the real world, or rather, they seem to be the meat of the demons to be defeated, and the chairs in the bar are solid enough to accommodate even a large Galahad, perhaps because there are beastmen in this world who grow larger than humans. Ah, it makes me happy from the bottom of my heart that I am really in and not in a game. After the food has been delivered and the waiter has left, we come to the main topic. "So, as I was saying before, is the alias of the knight who got the Holy Grail in the legend of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table. The knight''s name is , which is what the receptionist uttered when he called you." "King Arthur?¡¡Where are we talking about?" Galahad''s beer is brushed aside after the first sip. He has not been listening to the Unsullied Knight''s tales for pleasure or drunkenness. "It''s a legend from a world not here, from a place called Europe." At the mention of "not here," Galahad drops his gaze to the desk, clearly discouraged, but regains his composure and looks at me. "What is the Holy Grail anyway?" "The chalice is said to be the cup that received the blood of the Son of God, or the cup used at the Last Supper of the Son of God, but in this legend it is characterized by being the cup that cures disease. Galahad is looking for the chalice for the king who got sick." I read it once in high school and have a hazy memory of it. The only knights of the Round Table whose names I remember are Lancelot, Galahad, and Percival, and the only other knight who is not a knight is Merlin. By the way, the reasons why I remember them are Lancelot ? Because he is the most famous. Galahad ? because a character with the same name appears in a game I have played. Percival ? The name of a neighbor''s Shiba Inu, usually called Pearl. Named by a young lady who was in the first grade of junior high school at that time. Is it wrong to ask me like this? After a few words about the three of us discovering the Holy Grail and the appearance of the Holy Spear in front of Galahad when he was called to the Garden of God, he gave up. "I''m sorry, I don''t know much about it myself." No, thank you. Actually, the master of one of my clients was under a terrible curse. When he was looking for a way to lift the curse, he was told by a prophet that an unsullied knight would lift the curse. I''ll tell him he''d better start looking hard for a way to break the curse itself, not a knight." There may not be a knight who can lift the curse, but a knight who has lifted the curse," he said, stirring up the beer he had set aside. The roasted flying rabbit came with bread and salad. I was dissatisfied with all the alcohol, but the roasted flying rabbit was delicious, and the sauce was good to wipe off with the toasted bread. "You look like you''re eating well, you can have some of that, too." "Thank you." I don''t mind, it''s my first meal in this world and I want to try many things. It seems that my sense of taste has been perfectly reproduced, and I look forward to eating again in the future. We bid farewell to Galahad, who seems to be going on drinking, and head for the counter to fulfill our initial goal. As we parted, Galahad tossed me his partner card, saying, "Call me if you need anything. Exchanging partner cards is like friend registration in other games. I didn''t expect to be able to register as a friend with N!C in this game ......, or perhaps this event was a tutorial on how to deal with partner cards. Maybe Galahad/warrior, guest A/wizard in the bar, guest B/healer, guest C/thief, etc. could call N! I thought, but I don''t know how to give my patka. When I was in a hurry, Galahad called out to me while drinking. "Oh, you can''t give out your partner card until you get your guild card, right?¡¡When you''re done registering, you can approve the exchange from my card." I looked everywhere, but I couldn''t find it. 5 - 3. Guild Card and Partner Card "Welcome, are you registered?" "Yes." "Do you need an explanation of how to register as an adventurer?" A receptionist with a short bob or brown hair cut off at the collar and wearing a dark blue jacket that looks almost black like a uniform asks me about it. "Please." Yes, this is the information about the Adventurers'' Guild. He then opens a leaflet-like document and shows it to us. I responded as usual to the question, but the log window also showed a choice. However, it seems that even if I respond with a normal conversation, the message is recognized. It would have been embarrassing if it had not been recognized!¡¡And I''m glad they recognized anything other than yes/no! Well, I had a normal conversation with Galahad without any discomfort, so it''s not a big deal now. The receptionist''s explanation continued in spite of my inner turmoil. Anyone without a criminal record can register as an adventurer for free. The adventurer''s card you will be given after registration also serves as your ID card, and you may be asked to show it even outside the guild. The receptionist begins her explanation, pointing to the location on the leaflet. Ranks range from F to A and S above that. Soloists can receive requests of the same rank, and party members can receive requests up to one rank above the lowest rank. When you register, you will start with rank F." "Rank advancement is possible after a certain number of requests are completed. You may be required to take a test at that time. "The main job of the Adventurers'' Guild is to facilitate requests for adventurers. Please choose the request you wish to accept from the list posted on the bulletin board and present it to the guild counter with your guild card. You can receive up to three requests at the same time. When you finish the request, please bring the request form and your guild card to the counter. You do not need to accept any requests at all, but only to report and deliver your work to the guild. "Always-on requests have no expiration date and do not cost any money, but requests with a stated time frame will cost a deposit, called an . If you complete the request within the time frame, the deposit will be refunded, but if you do not complete the request within the time frame, the deposit will not be refunded. The deposit will be exempted up to rank E." "If you commit a crime after registration, your guild card will turn red. You can change it back to the original color by paying a fine, but for serious crimes, an X (cross) will be written in the lower column of the card even if the color is changed back. If you have a red card, you will be penalized by not being able to use the guild. I''m sure you will be fine, but please be careful." It was explained to me very casually, but could I become a criminal? ! The only thing that comes to mind is "K" (killing a player). Is there? K, you''re killing us all at once. That''s the end of the explanation. I will give you this information, so please read the others in your spare time. When you accept the leaflet, it disappears from your hand and a menu opens instead, informing you that the section has been added to the help section. There was also a <> at the bottom. Apparently, the help section will be updated with more information on how to use the card and what it is all about, which is a bit convenient. Please put your hand on this card. A transparent card, one size larger than the real world cash card, was presented to me on a thin tablet-like tray, and I did as I was told and placed my hand on it. Then a writing-like pattern in English appeared along the edge of the tablet in a clockwise direction, and as I circled around the edge, the card glowed faintly and the transparent color changed to a dark smoky crystal. Please accept it. In addition to the information you can see on the card, it will also contain a record of your requests and defeats. Homura Rank F Occupation Mage Title None The card I received was simple, with only three lines. When he touched the pouch attached to his waistband, an item window opened and the card was transferred from his hand. The card did not seem to be counted in the number of items in his baggage, and a separate slot was added to his baggage. The initial pouch can hold 30 other items. In the upper left corner of the pouch, there is an amount of 1,000 cils. The status window allows you to check your status from other windows than the card, and the information of your adventurer rank, Rank F, has been added to the status window as well, which seems to be linked to the status window. While the window was closed, the explanation continued: the guild card allows the owner to view various data about himself, such as the number of kills, the profession that appears on the card is the one set in the left-most slot, and titles can be displayed arbitrarily from the titles acquired. Also, as Galahad mentioned, you can duplicate and exchange partner cards from the guild card. "This concludes the explanation of the registration process. Let''s accept the guild''s request. The receptionist concluded with a smile, and an announcement was made in her place. Guild requests can be found on the bulletin board and submitted at the reception desk. You can also receive orders from the list of requests in the menu only when you are in the guild. Let''s take it from the menu this time. It seems that you can search for a request while relaxing in the bar without having to stand in front of the bulletin board. Follow the guidance and accept the first request. The request was as follows. Rank F Request name: Delivery of 3 flying rabbit horns Duration: 3 days Client: Picol Report Guild Reward 50 cil. Acceptance fee -. *Get me three horns from the flying rabbit in Fast Brim! The number of people who have been in the same position for a long time is increasing. Yes, the rabbit you just ate. There is a little more information than the request form posted on the bulletin board. The fast brim is just outside the south gate. This time we will move on and give you a tutorial on the battle. His vision went white again, and the next thing he knew he was in a meadow. It feels strange to be dazzled when you are not dazzled. In fact, I was a little nervous when I first came out to the plaza, thinking I was dizzy. Let''s look for the flying hare. Grasslands as far as the eye can see. The image I had of a meadow was of knee-high grass, but here it was covered with soft, ankle-high grass like hairgrass, making it look more like a meadow. When I looked for a sign of something, I found, without looking for it, a light brown creature with horns and eyes that were not good enough to be a rabbit. What is it about rabbits with those sharp front teeth?¡¡It''s vicious. I''ll try Animal Demonology. A flying rabbit. Classification: Demon Known information. An announcement was made that the use of the appraisal had been treated as a discovery. There are two types of monsters: non-active monsters that do not attack unless you attack them, and active monsters that attack when they come within a certain range. If the player reaches H.0, he or she loses combat, dies after 60 seconds, and is revived at the last temple he or she visited. When you die, you lose half of your gold and have your status reduced by one-half for a certain period of time. H!? The maximum value of H! The menu opens and H! gauge is glowing. It is always better to display it. I pull the three gauges out of the menu window so that they are always visible at the edge of the view. The gauges are H!? M!? and E! . I pull out the three gauges from the menu window and display them at the edge of the view. I also display a clock. The translucent window in a hollow space at a certain distance from the body is a strange sight. Animal Demon Appraisal] is a very useful tool for the evaluation of animals. The number of E! Let''s try using magic. Are you equipped with a wand or grimoire?¡¡Please note that you can perform magic with your bare hands, but the weapon''s correction will not be applied. The use of magic requires the use of M! M!? is the amount of magic power. M!? is 0, you will fall into bad statuses such as [Dizziness] and [Anemia]. The status is M! is recovered by restoring M! If you continue to leave the condition at "M!? will start to decrease, so be sure to recover as soon as possible. M!? The maximum value of M! During the announcement, M! gauge was glowing. Next, the E! gauge glowed. Physical attacks and certain skills use the E! E!? indicates hunger and instantaneous strength. Physical skills require <<>and >When you use a skill, it is temporarily divided into <>The amount of E! The value of <>The skill will gradually recover to the state where < E!? gauge will decrease naturally without any action. E!? is 0, the movement speed will be reduced to one-tenth of the normal speed. The movement speed is controlled by the E! is restored by eating or other means. E!? is 0, M! will start to decrease, so be sure to recover as soon as possible. I think rice is very important. The H!? /M!? /E!? will be recovered after the tutorial is over. Now let''s see what magic and sorcery we can use. Tap the order in which the lights glow in the menu. What is [Golden Magic] after all? Fire Magic - Fire Needle M! Water Magic - Water Needle M! Gold Magic - Needle M! It seems that only one type of magic can be used at a time, though they are listed by tabs. I wonder if "needle" means to make a needle appear. ...... Recognize the target and cast the magic spell you wish to use. Can''t you choose from the menu? It''s embarrassing to fight while shouting out names of techniques and spells. No, if you leave the window open, you can select from the menu, but it seems to be a hassle to look at the menu and tap the necessary magic instantly. I''ll take your word for it that there''s no chanting in the ...... skill set. "<>!" Raise your wand and cast a spell. The announcer told us that the more powerful the spell, the longer it takes, and that the spell is canceled if you are attacked during the chanting. And then, as expected, it was a <>. It was a metal needle the size of a knitting needle, not a sewing needle. When the hit the flying rabbit, it let out a yelp and came at us with its horns out. The rabbit jumped and collided with the which it chanted in a hurry, causing the rabbit to lose its balance and fall. The rabbit lost its balance and fell down. I was so flustered that I called out a bunch of words, but it seems that the result was all right. The flying rabbit turned into a particle of light and vanished. I was going to be a magical swordsman, but I wonder if I should reconsider. If it had been melee combat, I think I would have taken a lot of hits. No, I''ll get used to it and I''ll be able to handle it calmly, I''m sure I will. And I like the <, it doesn''t look like magic, but it''s cool. I got the horns of the flying rabbit. I''ve got some rabbit meat. Items drop when you defeat demons and other monsters. The dropped items can be used for delivery or for production, so let''s try various things. There are two left. Let''s keep up the good work. M!? is likely to be spared from the previous battle, but I want to save it because I don''t know what will be there. I wonder if I can recover from this if I just sit here.¡¡I looked around to make sure there were no enemies around, and lay down on the spot. Sorry, I have never seen such a field of soft grass and no insects in the real world!¡¡And after the tutorial, there should be other players in the meadow! I lie down and look at the sky for a moment. The sky is full of unobstructed views. The clouds are moving fast. There is only a gentle wind on the ground, but it seems to be very strong in the sky. The feeling of wanting to take a nap has come to an end. A small, dull thumping sound comes from the ground. It is probably the sound of a flying rabbit hopping. You gently get up and look around, and see a flying hare further away than before. I''ve got the hare''s horns. I got the skin of a flying rabbit. The meat of the rabbit that was killed this time has been replaced by its skin. I have no problem finding the horns as a quest item, but I have learned that the drop has been changed. So it''s not fur, but skin. M!? M!? I have to stock up on recovery medicine. As in other games, I do not doubt that there are medicines. I''m afraid that missing an attack will hurt me, so I quietly approach the third one from behind and attack it first before it notices me. This time, I used Water Needle and Fire Needle. I thought Japanese was not good enough for this one, but I tried chanting <>, but it also activated. I wonder if it is appropriate. I got the horns of the flying rabbit. I got the skin of a flying rabbit. I have fulfilled the conditions of the request . The skill list was updated with [M! Natural Recovery], [H! Natural Recovery], [Far-sightedness], [Diligence], [Presence Detection], [Surprise Strike], and [Body Art] have been added to the list of skills. Skills are added to the list by actions and learned by spending skill points from the list. There are other ways to acquire the information, so try them out. Skill points can be gained by leveling up and other means. Then report the request to the Adventurers'' Guild. Your vision turns white again, and when it returns, you are in front of the counter of the Adventurers'' Guild. I looked into the bar, but Galahad was no longer there. I ventured to talk to the three men who were drinking, but all I got from them was some trivia about their adventures. We''ve already hunted the flying hare!¡¡Late info! I''d like to have more N!?C partner cards if I can call them to battle, since my friends and I have different log-in times. I give up and report the request. "Please report." Produce a guild card and a pair of flying rabbit horns. "Thank you very much, please put your guild card here and the part of the rabbit to be killed here. As instructed, I placed the guild card on the same stone slab as when I received it, and the antlers on a blackish dark brown space on the counter slightly off the front of the receptionist''s desk. This is probably why the top panel was two-tone. "I have confirmed that your request has been fulfilled. The edge of the stone slab on which the card was placed and the different-colored tabletop on which the corners were placed glowed, and the corners were gone, replaced by 50 sills on the counter. "Thank you very much, here is your fee. I received the 50 shillings and was done. Oh, I should ask the name of the receptionist. You can report your request from the list of requests only if you are in the guild. Purchases can also be made from the menu, so take advantage of it. This concludes the tutorial. Thank you for your time. Time was up. The next thing I know, I''m back in Fountain Square. Before I forget, I select Galahad from the list of patkas and choose to give him the patka. I only have one patka on my list. I have obtained the title "Interactionist. We are pleased to inform you that a player has exchanged partner cards for the first time with a <> of <>. This information is now available to the public. If you meet certain conditions, such as becoming friends with a <>, the <> may give you a partner card. By exchanging cards with each other, you can invite each other to battle. You can get more than one card from a , but you can only give your partner card to one person. If you discard a card you have exchanged, you will be able to exchange it for a new one, but you will not be able to receive a partner card again from the discarded . The number of replaceable cards may be increased by quests and other means. Only one per is allowed. Two players may not exchange cards with the same . Please note that if you have not logged in for more than 3 months, the partner cards received by the <> will be discarded. In such a case, you can give a new partner card to the same <>. There are many in the . Let''s actively promote interaction with them. ! Is it me! I am, and all I can think is "wow". I''ve already exchanged all I can, but this means I have to choose a that will give me an advantage in battle, right?¡¡I''ve done it ......," he thinks, and checks the communication item in the menu. The only thing that stands out is Galahad in the list of patkas. I''m not sure if it''s a good idea to exchange with N!C before exchanging with a friend, but it smells like a bum. Galahad Rank A Occupation Warrior Title: Warrior of Red Valor ...... I checked his card and he is A rank. Is this a good rank at the beginning of the game? < a helpful character? I''ll check the titles. The first person who exchanged partner cards with a for the first time. Effect: <''s partner card +1 slot That''s it, a remedy for not being able to re-select? I am relieved to know that I can choose any character I want from now on.

Joining and Fighting After the tutorial, I was taken back to the fountain plaza and headed back to the guild. It''s not that I am still hung up on the name of the receptionist, but that I am meeting my friends at the entrance of the guild. In conclusion, there are too many people. It is packed. The atmosphere is too different from that around the guild during the tutorial. If I go out there, I want to take requests, and I guess it''s inevitable that players will be concentrated on this first day, but it''s just too many people. As I was stunned, I heard a conversation. "Let''s register and go to the battle already...". "Yeah, right." Oh, I wonder if some of them skipped the tutorial! Let''s see. "You can register as an adventurer even in the tutorial!" I have to raise my voice a little because I feel like I''m going to be drowned out by the noise of other people. I''m embarrassed if it''s none of my business. "Oh, really?" "I can get a tutorial if I don''t go out of town, right?" "Oh, thanks~" Players who have thanked me and selected the tutorial are disappearing in front of my eyes. It was a horrifying sight to see so many people disappear as if they were thinning out the crowd. I wonder if I will get used to this scene of people disappearing in front of my eyes. The view became clearer after a good number of people disappeared. It seems that there were more people who skipped the tutorial than I expected. It is true that if you just want to receive a request, you should go to the battle or something quickly without waiting so long. I guess that the people who skipped the tutorial and have not yet registered their guilds are mainly responsible for the congestion. If we had to register this many people in this order, the registration process would never be over. The number of people in front of the guild has decreased, so I call out to those who are inside from the entrance of the guild, which is like a crowded train. Again, two thirds of them disappeared. I wonder if there was no one else to tell us. Still, I was surprised to see the receptionist peering at me and bowing to me from the counter which I could see through the crowd. I didn''t know if I was the only one in the room, as in the tutorial, or if she was just reacting to me!¡¡And this time I didn''t talk to the receptionist, it''s like there really is someone inside! The AI used in N!?C was developed two years before the game''s release, using a smartphone to raise N!?C characters! The characters are collected, modified, and used after they reach a certain level of maturity by talking to them every day and letting them do simple errands in the town. The characters on mobile phones are two-headed and can be raised to your liking, and they are popular as stand-alone applications and are still being distributed even after the game''s launch. I returned to the front of the guild and stood there wondering if I would be able to find my friends here, even though the number of people had decreased considerably, when I was approached. "Homura?" When I looked in the direction of the names called out, I saw two people standing side by side, both of whom had the appearance I had been told by a friend of mine. A slender young man with pale blue hair in a ponytail, and a dog-eared boy with red hair that was only as tall as his chest. "I''m surprised you found us." "He was loud and he stood out. I''ve already exchanged the other patrol cars, so let''s move to a more obvious location. Peter, a young man with a ponytail, throws a patrol car at me. "Yeah, Leo, give me a patrol car too. Then I also throw my partner card (Patoka) to Peter and Red Dog Leo. If we get separated without exchanging, I''m not sure I''ll see them again today. "Ah!¡¡I''ve made reservations and got you a place to stay!" "Oh, thank you. It''s not safe to be in the guild when you see how crowded it is. In the end, we meet outside the south gate on the right side, but since we are going to be there, we go into the guild''s smithy and accept some requests from them before we move on. When we arrived at the gate, the place was also full of people who seemed to be waiting for us. "Did you catch it? "Ha-ha-ha!¡¡I''m getting a homura!" Leo answers the voice of a blonde-haired male elf. "It''s good to see you, man." A tall, stout man with black hair, dog ears, a scruffy beard and scars on his face calls out to me. "It was hard to see you in that crowd, wasn''t it?" This is a white-haired loli elf. We all know their real world gender, but I''m going to go with their in-game gender from now on. The blonde is named <, the black dog is named , and the white-haired one is named . And <<>,my <>. All except Kikuhime are male characters. By the way, Kikuhime is the name of sake. The maximum number of party members is exactly six. After exchanging patkas, we try to form a party. "I''m going to become a magician and a swordsman after all. I''m a healer. I''m more of an accident prevention or post-accident caregiver. Ochazuke answers my question. Since Shin and Leo have been making a lot of mistakes in the past games, he is always in a supportive role, and he seems to be following them this time as well. "I''m a swordsman, aren''t I? With a big sword, you''re going to do a lot of damage, aren''t you?" Princess Tsurupeta Chrysanthemum prefers to wield the smallest and burliest of weapons. Considering her initial stats, it would be difficult for an elf to specialize in physical weapons. "I''m a fighter, I''m a wolf! Shin, the black dog, has always loved to fight with bullets, but this time he wants to become a wolf beastman, which has been announced as the evolution of the dog tribe. The only announced evolutionary targets are the wolf from a dog and the tiger from a cat, but we are looking forward to seeing what kind of species will emerge, as there are a wide variety of evolutionary targets, not limited to beastmen. "I believe there is a fox. £¡£¡£¡£¡" "That''s not a profession. I''m a Thief and I''m trying to become a bowman. Peter shoves Leo with a laugh as he exclaims. "Arggh, sorry. I''m a Thief now. I''m sure there are ninjas out there £¡£¡£¡£¡£¡." "There''s too much wishful thinking going on!" Several occupations have also been disclosed as destinations for evolution from the initial occupations. As announced at the time of logging in, there are a wide variety of occupations and skills to be developed. "The only thing that looks like a shield is a little girl." Ochazuke replies with a blur. "It seems that Kikuhime doesn''t want to play the shield either. Give it up, it must be Ochazuke who is busy!¡¡I''m evasive." "We have solos, and I don''t think the system is that soft for all of us." Peter follows up by saying that softness means that the damage is greater. The same attack that does less damage is said to be hard. "Let''s just fight for now!" With a single word from the old man Shin, stroking his stubble, we move to the fast brim. Brim" means a meadow. There are quite a few people near the gate, fighting over the flying hares. Since we can''t seem to compete with them and it seems inefficient, we decide to move away from the gate and look for stronger enemies since we have a full party. "Oh, by the way, N!?C gave me a patka." "Bust!¡¡That world announcer, it''s you!" Shin gives me a hard time. "Hey, if it''s set to public, they''ll play your name too, right?" "What kind of N.C. did you get this from?" "<>, the warrior who was at the counter during the tutorial." Was there such a thing in the tutorial?¡¡I don''t remember. "Do the clients in the guild vary from person to person?¡¡I think I only saw girls." You''re a pedophile, aren''t you? No! "What?¡¡I talked to a strong guy during the tutorial, but he didn''t tell me his name and he didn''t give it to me." "You talked to him, you''re very brave." While we were on the move, Leo started yelling when we were talking about the patka we got. "Found it!¡¡Chickens£¡£¡£¡£¡" Looking in the direction of my pointing finger, there is indeed a white chicken-like thing moving. There is already a party hunting here, too, but it is not as crowded as the rabbit place. "Hey, that''s not some escaped domestic chicken, is it?" "They say it''s a male and female rampaging chicken. They''re classified as monsters. Three birds, one male and two females. "Did Peter take the animal demon test, too?" Peter answered to Ochazuke, who blurted out that he couldn''t tell the difference, so I asked him. I did, but I only know the classification and the name. A man who smiles and says he doesn''t know. "I''m sure you''ll be able to see more in time," he says with a smile, "because the skills have a level indicator. "Oh, I got one too. I hope I will be able to see the status. "For now, you want to hit the magic (enkiryo) first?¡¡Kikuhime to get tagged first?" Shin asks. "I have to use my skill to get the target back. I bought a shield, so I''ll go first. I bought a shield. I killed him in the tutorial." It''s disturbing because it sounds like killed him because he failed to protect me, instead of achieved it and learned from it. And I don''t know if you''ve already shopped, I don''t even have a recovery pill! "Be careful, I don''t want to overdo the recovery because of the hate. Please do it." Ochazuke''s words make me think of playing it safe. Since Kikuhime is the only one who can act as a shield, Kikuhime will take the tags of all three birds, and Ochazuke will heal Kikuhime. We, the attackers, were the males, followed by the females whom Kikuhime hit. The battle to the death over the chickens began. Leo''s. "Gah!¡¡Ow, ow, ow!¡¡I''m coming after you." "Why is everyone hitting me and I''m not hitting them!" You want to go over there first? "No, I''m already exhausted, it''s over. I''ll leave him to it. I''ll give up on Leo if he dies. Peter tells them in his same cheerful voice. Peter is as refreshingly awful as ever, I think to myself, but I obey. "<>!" "Yo!¡¡[Tiger] !" He unleashes a spell that he learned when he reached level 2 of the Golden Magic. Yes, it was an iron ball a little bigger than a tennis ball. Fire magic is a fireball, I guess. Back attack! "[Back attack]!¡¡Wa-ha-ha-ha!" The two sheikhs are slashing at the enemy with a skill that increases their attack power when they attack from behind. Since their specialties are daggers, cutting is probably a better word than slashing. Since it was found out with the chicken that both magic and slashes hit allies, Chotototsu is fighting with Kikuhime in front, the two sheikhs behind, Shin on the right, and me a little further away on the left. Ochazuke is a little far from Kikuhime on the right back, where he can see Kikuhime, Shin and Leo. By the way, the magic was cast on Kikuhime. My magic was more damaging than the chicken''s peck. I regret it. "Tiger!¡¡[dragon] !¡¡[Heaven] The amount of the combo is decreased by << The power of Kikuhime''s and my attacks are more powerful than theirs in a single attack, but the bosses and other H! However, for bosses and other enemies with a lot of H! I got some meat and skin from Chototzu. This much meat means he has cooking skills! After that, I encountered the boar called Chototzu several times, but I was able to defeat it without any problem as long as I avoided or received the first rush. Leo was in front of the boar, and Peter and I kept an eye on the left and right sides. In between, Kikuhime, Shin, Leo, and Peter are munching on something. I, a magician, and Ochazuke could almost go on three meals a day, but instead we are eating M! potion instead. I''d rather eat rice, too. I think I have to check [sense of presence] frequently, or maybe it''s because I''m the type of person who has to check it frequently. Consumption is not high. While [Dilution] is also on, the E! While the [Presence Dilution] is also on, the E!¡¡The diet is said to be about three meals and a snack, so three meals and a snack is OK. I don''t tell you that I started to use fire-needle only in the middle of the battle against Chotototsu because I imagined that I was going to roast a whole fish. Water magic is supposed to be a good match, but gold magic and fire magic reached level 2 first. Berries grow in some places in the forest, and even if you don''t have the ability to pick berries, you can still pick berries, although the amount of harvest varies. E!? The recovery is not much, but I guess it is a remedy for hunger. It tastes sweet and sour and wants to be made into jam. In other words, it''s sour. After eating a few of them, I got used to the sweet taste, but it''s amazing that they reproduced such a sensation. By the way, when I took lunch, Peter gave me some grilled skewers that he had bought at a food stall, and Kikuhime gave me some orange juice. He teased me a lot for forgetting to buy them, but I didn''t have time to buy them! E!? Sad effort to save money by not using (or skipping) the presence detection in the meadow. It is my fault that the tutorial took so long, sorry. It was especially nice to lie down in the meadow. I didn''t get the money, but I''ll pay it back in some way soon, because I think it''s too much for my early pocketbook, even if it''s a grilled skewer. In the forest, there was also a fruit called <>, which can only be collected by gathering. M!? Is it an ingredient for a potion?¡¡I stuffed berries and magic berries into my item pouch. The item pouch can hold 30 x 99 items apart from the equipment you are wearing. However, when the item pouch is full, you can''t take off your gear. What I have with me now Skin of flying rabbit x 2 Flesh of Flying Hare x1 Rampaging chicken eggs x 11 Rampaging chicken meat x 35 Feathers of a rampaging chicken x 44 Rampaging Dudu Egg x 10 Meat of rampaging dudu x 20 Rampaging Dudu feather x 16 Chototzu skin x 6 Chototzu meat x 6 Chototzu fangs x 3 Horned Hare Skin x 26 Horned Rabbit Meat x 25 Horns of rabbit x 8 Medicinal herbs x 23 Fruit of magic x 22 Berries x 82 Enemies seem to drop about three kinds of items, and one of them seems to be hard to find. The reason why only berries are prominent is that I took time to pick berries since I picked them in between, not because I picked them in between, but because I picked them all. In addition, if a player who does not have [picking] picks berries, the player who has [picking] picks more berries at a time. I marked them as berry picking points on the map because there were so many of them, I will come back to pick them again. I wonder if there is an expansion of the item pouch. I am very anxious because I remember that every game I have played has been fought by adjusting the number of items in the storage and the number of belongings. Horned rabbits were different colors from flying rabbits, white and with twisted horns, which made them more vicious. I got to level 3 and got 2 skill points for hunting horned rabbits with Chotototsu. 5 points was a first time service? I''ll think about what to get with 2 skill points later. As for the status, we again gave 2 points to intelligence. The physical attackers are the same as before. Natural Recovery. I went through the forest and found a wolf. "There it is... £¡£¡£¡£¡ When Kikuhime delivered a blow, the wolf returned the blow with a blow to Kikuhime''s H! was almost half of the total. "Impossible game, [recovery]!" As soon as he recovered, the wolf turned his attention back to Ochazuke. "[Stall]!" Peter''s skill made the wolves stiffen. "Let''s get out of here while we still can. We can''t." They ran away as fast as they could and went back to hunting chotototsu and horned rabbits. I didn''t hunt a lot of chotototsu, since I was hunting only one of them coming toward me from the other side, but I hunted a lot of horned rabbits. I''m going back to the river, hunting the enemies I''ve encountered, but for some reason I''m heading for the river when I should be heading back to the city. Leo wants to fish once! The first time I went to the beach, I was accompanied by a young man who was a bit of a daredevil. The first battle went well, so everyone was in a good mood, not only me, and we were talking and moving. We managed to hunt a flying rabbit on the way and all three of our requests were completed. The flock of six rampaging chickens that I had been avoiding was easily cleared on the way back. "I''m hungry. "Let''s grill the ones we caught!" "Don''t be absurd, there''s no fire!" "That''s it, should we put out the fire magic?" "Be a good boy and just fish today." While Leo casts a fishing line, we make a lot of noise and dig herbs from the rocks in the river. I, Kikuhime, Ochazuke, and Peter were mining. Shin is not taking the collecting type, and is looking at Leo and saying, "I''m going to take [fishing]. Leo certainly looks like he is having a lot of fun, so I can understand why he would want to take the same [fishing]. As I asked everyone what they took while collecting medicinal herbs, I found that Ochazuke, Shin, Leo and Peter were [blacksmith], Kikuhime was [seamstress], and I was [medicine man]. The blacksmithing rate is a cut above the rest, but I heard that there are some derivations in production as well, so we may end up going in a different direction. I noticed that the lulu grass with small light blueish flowers that I saw on the guild bulletin board was growing. I had expected to find it in the area where goblins are located, so it was unexpected to find it here. Lulu grass blooms at night, and while it was all medicinal herbs earlier, there was still some daylight left, but was it night? "It''s getting dark - let''s get back to town." Leo got a bite just as Singh was about to say something. "Ha-ha-ha, safe! As soon as Leo catches one, a slime appears, bobbing around like a water balloon. They were gathering to see Leo''s catch, so Kikuhime attacked and safely took the target. "[Dragon] !" "[Back attack]!" "[Back attack]!" Not much damage is done. "<>!" Except for magic, the damage was done. And I got tagged. Is the magic treated as physical? "[Stall]!" "[Provocation]!¡¡You''re right!" Peter stopped me in my tracks, and Kikuhime got me back before the attack came, and I was relieved. I''m going to ask him to provoke me once in every three fireballs so that I don''t get tagged. I was relieved to know that Kikuhime was able to get back the tag before the attackers came. I am nervous because of the rapid decrease of E! It is troublesome that only 1 to 4 of the physical attacks can damage the water slime, but the attack power of the water slime itself is about the same as Dudu''s. But the water slime itself has only Dudu''s damage. The first damage was as painful as hitting my foot against a door. I''m glad it wasn''t a pinky toe. "Oh no, I can''t use my skills! "<>!" I give up on trying to get Kikuhime to tag me back and continue attacking. I have a bad feeling that the Water Needle will not do any damage, but rather heal her, so I won''t use it!¡¡More and more, water magic is not getting any better! The damage that Kikuhime took was on par with Dudu''s, but when I took it, it hurt like hell!¡¡That''s the difference in defense! My H!? Ochazuke heals me when my gauge is less than half. It''s tougher than chotototsu? "Someone please help me with my M! Recover - I''m drinking and it''s killing me!" Peter with help from Ochazuke, M! Potion is thrown. When it hit the oatmeal, there was a sound like thin glass breaking, a sparkling red effect, and the M! The M! is restored. "Is Homura alright?" "I''m fine, I''m all healed up while I''m waiting to fish! <>!" I''m glad I took it [M! Natural recovery], although it does not recover during battle. I was also eaten by mucus during the battle, and it was quite a long battle. I got the flesh of a water slime. I have the nucleus of the waterslime. We are now at Lv.6. Fire magic is now lv.3. Viscosity Resistance, Night Vision, and Strike Resistance have been added to the skill list. It was pretty tough! By the time I finished, it was dark and I ran back to the city to recover. Once your eyes get used to the light from the two moons, you can distinguish your companions by their silhouettes if you are close enough. During the day, the fastbrim where the flying rabbits used to be has been replaced by snakes, and I and the ochazuke, M! The fast brim where the tobi-rabbit had been during the day had been replaced by snakes, and both me and M! We moved with Peter, who had [presence perception] and took [night vision], while dodging the enemies. I found out that I could only see the direction of the enemy vaguely at night even if I had [Presence Detection], and I used 2 skill points to acquire [Night Vision] during the movement. ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ Increase ...

The city is surrounded by high walls, and only three gates (south, east, and west) allow access to the city. There are no gates on the north side because of the lord''s mansion and the knight''s house. Entering from the south gate, you will see the fountain square when you log in. The main gate is closed in the evening, and after that access is through the small side gate. At night, wagons and other vehicles are not allowed to enter or leave the building, and only those who show an identification card are allowed to enter or leave. The opening and closing of the gate is indicated by the temple bells, which are rung several times in rhythm: the morning, noon, and evening bells, and the bell before the bells, the "discarded bells. If you listen to the bells and take action, you will be in time for the bells to ring. The bell is rung once at midnight without the bell. The length of the day is the same at 24 hours, but the length of time seems to be based on the time of sunrise and sunset, which is slightly off. The square is crowded, though not as much as in the daytime, and the sound of stringed instruments can be heard from somewhere. It is a fantasy world, and I wonder if this is the sound of a lute or a lyre. There seem to be many residents (N! "The inn is across the street from the guild, what do you want to do for dinner?¡¡There''s a diner at the inn, but I don''t have a reservation for dinner." Leo is good at making plans like this, even in battle. "Let''s check out the restaurant, and if it''s crowded, let''s go to the street vendor where we bought the grilled skewers. On the way to the inn, Ochazuke suggested a restaurant on the east side of the fountain square with a long line of people waiting outside. The inn''s cafeteria was also full. The inn''s counter was overheard giving directions to the Adventurers'' Guild''s simple accommodations. Although the percentage of unpleasant sensations, such as pain, is greatly reduced, we would like to stay in a good place, considering that the sensations are reproduced so well. To be more specific, we would like to avoid simple accommodations with no bath or partitions. "Thank goodness I made a reservation, thank you Leo! "Excellent." "Thank you, sir." "Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you." Thank you!" "Wa-ha-ha-ha!¡¡It''s perfect!" I couldn''t help but say thank you, and the other members of the group also thanked Leo in turn. At the counter, I tell them that I''ll be staying there from tomorrow onward, and go outside in search of food. It seems that the innkeeper recommends logging out of the inn, so the room will not be reserved for another reservation unless the guest does . At least after a certain amount of time has passed, the room will be reserved again. The room is said to be safe for at least a certain period of time, until it becomes a temple. It''s more of an incident than an accident if you log in and find someone else in the same bed with you. I was a little worried that the residents might not like to have a gentile (player) staying in the same bed with them, but I guess it''s more of an incident than an accident if you log in and find a stranger in the same bed with you. Zero), the innkeeper will be left with the bed charge plus ¦Á, and the innkeeper will not lose anything. While sleeping, E! However, if you log out with an empty stomach, E! However, if you log out hungry, M! M! After E! is decreasing after E! If you do not log in for a long time, the place where you log in and out is the temple, just like when you lost the battle. Walking along the street between the guild and the inn for about a hundred meters, you will see the guild''s simple lodging facility on your right. According to the ochazuke and the others, there is a street of stalls behind the guild. As we entered a narrow alley, we could hear the rustle of people. It was like a festival fair. "If we get separated, we''ll meet here, right?" ""Oh!"" "Okay, then." "Leo and Kikuhime, don''t get stepped on~" Let''s try not to get separated." Before stepping into an alley, I decide on a solution to the lost premise instead of a lost child prevention plan. There is no way a hand-holding event can happen with six people, or it would be a picture full of men! At any rate, E! is in trouble, so let''s get something to eat. I smelled E! I felt my E! The stalls are mainly food shops, but there are also some small general stores. Stalls selling small foods for eating outdoors and those selling foodstuffs are crowded together on both sides of the alley. Yeah, we got separated from them right away!¡¡Leo and Shin went on and on, while Ochazuke and Kikuhime looked at the stalls where they were making flowers and stuff with colored candies, and then they were out of sight. The six of us gave up on the idea of going out together and went looking for something tasty with Peter, who was with us. She is interested in a place where they put meat on bread that she saw when she came here during the day, so we look for the place while trying not to bump into people. The place we arrived at had turned out to be a place to put vegetables on bread. The restaurant has run out of meat because it sold more than usual and many customers wanted to add more meat to the ingredients. The meat that is now sizzling on the griddle is said to be the last for the people standing in line. It is unexpected that a resident''s restaurant would run out of meat. "Sorry, come back!" "Well, that''s too bad." Peter gives up early. "Hey, can you put some vegetables in there? And let me cook the meat I''m holding on the griddle. Peter next to me looks like he''s about to say something, but I don''t care! I''m already having bread with meat in it for dinner. We have meat... raw meat. "Oh you have meat!¡¡You can grill the meat all you want, just sell me whatever meat you have." I negotiated the purchase!¡¡But I don''t know the market price!¡¡No, the guild I''m accepting a request from is 90 cirs for 6 meat of flying rabbit, 80 cirs for 4 meat of rampaging chicken.... That''s 15 and 20 shillings respectively. I check the menu to see what I''ve received and calculate the unit price. I need a calculator. Yeah, but I only have 8 meat for 6 requests for flying rabbits! "I can give you 51 for a rampaging chicken if you want." "Great!" They gave me a little color and took it back for 1,071 shill. I was relieved at the fair price plus ¦Á that they offered, and I also took back 26 pieces of rampaging dudu meat and 100 pieces of horned rabbit meat. The price for these was 3,776 shillings. I also got Peter''s meat, and the man at the stall was happy that he could still do business with it. He said he could make three dishes from one piece of meat. I''ll teach you how to cook it. After the customers in line had cleared out, the old man said as he prepared to sell again. "Thank you, by the way, what''s your name?" "Oh, me?¡¡My name is Joss. I always have a stall here, so patronize me!¡¡I''ll even buy you meat, okay?" The one who laughed was the one who had made the request to the guild for the meat of the flying rabbit. He gave me an extra shill than I had asked for. He takes out a piece of meat from his item pouch. Homura, Chotsu meat?¡¡Then I''ll give you the meat of the horned rabbit, why don''t we split it in half?" "Great!¡¡I''d like to try both." Once again, we grill the meat together, taking advice from old man Joss, who prepares the restaurant for opening. The sound of the fat popping and the smell of the burning fat stimulate my appetite viciously. Next to them, Jos is steaming the meat of a rampaging chicken, and this one looks delicious as the steam is rising loudly before the water is poured over it and the lid is put on. In the meantime, the meat is cooked, and we put vegetables and meat as we like on the bread Joss gave us. I forgot to ask, but I got three!¡¡The chototzu meat looks very tasty, with the fat and juices soaking into the vegetables. Put it on a piece of paper to make it easier to hold and it''s done! The meat of Peter''s horned rabbit is crispy on the surface, and its appearance suggests a different kind of deliciousness. I exchange one of them with Peter, and also buy a rampaging chicken and three loaves of Doudou bread from Jos, and give them to Peter one by one. This is in return for the grilled skewers he got during the day. I learned during the day that the skewers can be kept in the item pouch so that they are freshly made. I put them away as soon as they are at their best. The chicken costs 20 cils, the dudu 25 cils, and you can get more meat for 5 cils more. They gave us extra money for bread and vegetables. When the meat was cooked, we left Jos'' restaurant, which was getting crowded again, and went to the side of the street to eat it together. It was so delicious £¡£¡£¡£¡£¡ After that, we bought berry juice from a juice shop that squeezes it on the spot, drank it, browsed the store, and bought some appetizing items, sometimes with the excuse that they were for tomorrow. Peter bought one too. I''m careful with food stalls because I''ve spent a lot of money on them in the real world. I wanted to buy some tea, but I could only find a store selling tea leaves, so instead of buying tea leaves, I was allowed to taste a cup of tea. And there''s a guy drinking beer next to me! When you finish eating, the wrapping paper and dishes fade away in a dull particle of light. Strange but convenient. is 100%, you can''t eat, so I have fond memories of trying to "sense the presence" and "appraise" the other players on the street. Thanks to that, I could improve my "Animal Demon Appraisal" level, though my "Attention Detection" level remained the same. "There are books for sale. I think it''s a bargain, given the pattern." The stall was even smaller than the surrounding stalls, and there were things on the rugs that we did not know what they were for, and what looked like a bunch of chili peppers hung from an unreliable post supporting a sunshade cloth. Only books are recognizable as books. The seller is an old man who seems to have no intention of selling. He is reading a book without talking to the customers, while other stores are noisily calling out for customers and ordering. Isn''t he selling?¡¡In front of the store, people who are not customers of this store are standing around talking and eating food they bought at some open-air market. "How did you find me? Everywhere is crowded, so although there is some space in front of the store, it is buried under the people standing around talking, and all you can see is the awning cloth. "I''m a ninja." Peter says with a smile. "Where is the archer? At any rate, I weaved my way through the crowd to the front of the store. The old man in the store noticed me and glanced at me, but then turned his attention back to his book again. He looked tough. "Hello, I''d like to look at this book. He challenges with a Japanese smile. The old man sighed and looked at me. You don''t look good. "I don''t want to sell to a stranger, go to another store. A temporary refusal came. "I can''t say I live in the city, but I did register with the guild." Peter strong! "Oh, adventurers go away soon, don''t they?¡¡You should at least make one more acquaintance before you come back." Huh?¡¡Is this a flag? "I know a resident (Galahad)." I show my guild card to prove it...I''ve only known him for about 20 minutes. I''ve known Joss longer than I''ve known you. "Hmm." He sniffs and looks at his card and at me with a stinky look. I think it''s the owner who smells. "What you have here is not for sale." No. "I had to pull out the stuff I was selling because of the mess from the eateries. I have a used bookstore in the back alley near the east gate. But I often take a break," says the old man. "Yes, thank you, sir. He thanks her and leaves. "Is this a query that I have to go through after I get the N.C. patka? "Maybe I''ll look for it when people aren''t logged in. I''ll let you know where it is when I find it." I bought some mixing tools, Peter bought a knife that looks like a single-edged dagger, which seems to be rare here, I bought some fruit, Peter bought some beer again, and I bought some cooking water to make tea. It''s a dangerous space. Wallet-wise. And the item pouches are in trouble. I was told that teapots and other items are sold in the retail stores behind the armorers and armorsmiths in the fountain square or in the stall area. They are a group of stalls selling weapons, armor, and tools. He warned me to be careful because of the proximity of the area, which is not a safe place to live. As I am strolling around, I get a text message. I don''t have to open it to figure out that it''s a text message to come back to the meeting place, and that Peter has received it too. Everyone is at the meeting place except for Kikuhime. While waiting for Kikuhime, we talk about what we ate. Apparently, Leo was also interested in Jos'' restaurant, and when he went there and was told that it was sold out, he had no choice but to eat at another restaurant with Shin. "But I went by there one more time, and they were open, so I got it! Leo''s smug look makes me look delicate, and Peter''s shoulders shake. I think you should laugh, right? It seems that in a roundabout way, my meat and Peter''s meat ended up in Leo and Shin''s stomachs. "Speaking of which, let''s stop by the guild, get the order and go home, it''s going to be crowded again tomorrow when we leave." "Oh, I have a report, too." Me too!" Peter and Leo respond to Ochazuke''s words. "How did you get into that crowded place?" Homura chased away more than half of them! "I''m not a good listener ......" While we were talking, Kikuhime returned, and we all moved to the guild to accept the request for tomorrow. I gave Kikuhime berry juice and fruits before she forgot them. She accepted them, saying that she didn''t mind. It''s great that I don''t have to worry about the baggage when I have an item pouch. And I''m already running out of space. When we arrive at the guild, Peter, Leo and I go to the counter to report our request. It''s hard to believe that it''s nighttime, and the cafeteria is packed with people. "Hey, we''re always the chickens that run amok with requests, can''t we all report them?" He notices on the way and calls out to them. In the end, it turns out that if the pattern is not to talk to the client, we can accept the request on the spot and report on the spot. Some of the requests had to be accepted in order to fulfill the conditions, but it seems that low-ranked clients tend to report after the fact. There is no fee for accepting a request. For this reason, the reporting of requests and receiving of orders are repeated without going through the guild reception desk. Is this also a measure against congestion?¡¡I had wanted to skip at least the E-rank requests because the guild purchase and the request fee were almost the same, but when Ochazuke told me about the guild rank, I repeatedly accepted them and reported them, even if it was troublesome. I sold off the fractional amount at the guild''s buyback, and my item pouch is now much cleaner!¡¡I got rid of a lot of stuff except the herbal stuff and the tusks/horns and chotots & horned rabbit meat that I thought I might use for alchemy!!!! I achieved 100 requests and moved up to rank E. The next quota to move up to D is 1,000 requests. That''s far away. By the way, the count was 1 no matter how many times I reported a request. I have a feeling that the demons of requests with a delivery count of 3 or so are going to suffer from overfishing: ...... 9 - 7. Battle of Bath and Bathhouse at Night I returned to the inn. Leo and his friends had taken two rooms for three people. We gathered in one of the rooms and talked about our plans for the next day, and those who wanted to use the bathtub first, and those who wanted to sleep first went to the next room and started sleeping. Some say they haven''t yet done so. Since we have been fighting all day, we have decided to explore the town and renew our weapons and armor tomorrow when it gets light. Checking the general layout of the city on the map, we decided to go to the artisan district on the north side of the east gate. Before that, we decided to stop by the weapon and armor shops facing the fountain square to check their prices, and then we remembered. "By the way, I heard from a stallholder earlier that there is also a retail store and a stall selling tools, weapons and armor behind the weapon shop and the armor shop." "Yes, you mentioned that." The plan was to stop by the armorers and armorsmiths, visit the retailers, and look at the stalls, which led to the artisans'' district. We also decided to visit the northwestern section of the city if we had time, since it was a mystery what was in there. We are late to the party, but we are going to explore the city. But first, we have a pre-dawn battle to fight. After the plans for tomorrow have been made and the hotel bills have been settled, Leo and Kikuhime go to the bath. The inn costs 300 sil. per person, which is a lot considering our initial allowance!¡¡Thanks to Ochazuke and Kikuhime for putting up my portion. "Wow!¡¡Another dimension! I heard Leo''s cry from the bathroom, by the way, Kikuhime is in the bath in the next room. "What is it?" "What is it?" "Strange behavior in the bathtub." "Huh." After that it was quiet, just the normal sound of water, and the four of us were chatting when Leo came out. Crow''s nest. "Don''t come out with a towel!" Ochazuke''s voice made me look at Leo, who had a really nice smile on his face and was still wearing his towel. "Hey, hey. Hey, this is a different dimension!" Leo tries to flip his towel, but his iron-clad guard prevents him from doing so despite its softness. "Don''t show me!¡¡What are you, a schoolboy? It''s an inn, so let''s keep it quiet, ochazuke-sensei? After that, I went to the bathtub, too. I undress in the changing room and change from my underwear to a towel provided in the changing room. It seems that I could not undress naked. I wondered if the bath was plumbed, but it seemed to be set up as a magical tool.¡¡As we entered the empty bathtub, the hot water started to rise up from the bottom of the bathtub. It was quite comfortable. I was also in a different dimension. There was a warning that the game was for adults or older, so I guess I could take off all my clothes by changing the settings, but I don''t plan to do so for the time being. Everyone got out of the bath and went to bed. The status of the guests will drop drastically if they do not sleep for about three hours a day in this time or log out for 20 minutes in real time. By the way, if you sleep properly at an inn, the drop rate will be slightly increased for three hours after you wake up. It is still at a low level, and the rare drop will not be a big deal, but it is a good thing to wake up early, isn''t it? Not that it matters. Real time is 23:00. A day passes in three hours. You can choose to log out normally, or you can set it up so that you log out when you go to bed and fall asleep. You can also choose to be forced to log out after five minutes if your body in the real world tells you that it needs to be physiologically active. I will log out once more before the forced logout occurs. If I fall in the middle of a battle and rush to the bathroom and come back, five minutes there is four minutes here. Can''t you do something about that?¡¡I doubt it. As I was thinking this, I awoke in the real world. It seems to be easier to sleep in the other world. I took off my visor, went to the bathroom, made a cup of tea, and took a rest. I do some light stretching and put on the visor again. I reluctantly get up when I hear Peter and Shin next to me getting up. It''s dark outside, and with my senses replaying so well, I can''t help but feel like lounging around in bed. It is strange that I do not feel sleepy at all. When I wake up, my HPMP has recovered and my EP has decreased. I was also surprised to receive a thank you mail from Galahad. He seems to have sent it drunkenly, and the contents of the message are not clear in some parts, but I guess that''s what it should be about. All right!¡¡Breakfast! The inn specializes in lodging for adventurers, so guests can eat in the dining hall anytime, even in the middle of the night. However, the dining hall is open to the public from 12:00 noon to around 10:00 p.m., so it gets crowded like last night. I join my neighbor and go to the cafeteria. Freshly baked round bread, bacon, three kinds of sausages, eggs, salad, onion soup or corn soup, yogurt. Shin and Leo lament that there is no Japanese food, and I think the menu is chosen for ease of preparation, but when I break the bread, it makes a crispy sound and steam comes out, and the inside is moist. I''m happy with plenty of butter on it! "Natto is not going to be implemented!" "I wonder if there are any settlements with a Japanese flavor?" For all their natto natto talk, they both finished their meals and were satisfied with the taste. Outside the inn, we could see the Fountain Square through the guild, and the main street where the inn and the guild are located was illuminated by the orange-tinged light of the street lamps. The stores facing the fountain square were all lit up and open for business, so I went to a shop that the guild of apothecaries was offering and bought some H! I replenished my supply of H! I also bought some poison suppressants in case there were snakes in the area. I bought 50 bottles of M! When the enemy''s level and my own level were low, hitting with wands and using magic did not make a big difference, but now it has become noticeably different, so I bought 50 bottles of M! But now it is very different and it is not a good idea to run out of M! I should get a wand to save sil. Even at this hour, there were people in the plaza and outside the gate. Although they were dispersing for production, rest, etc., there was no way that they would decrease on the first day, Friday. There are still a lot of people here. "Do you want to go to the chickens?" Ochazuke makes a suggestion in response to Peter''s musings. There were not as many full parties like ours during the day as there were solos, and the rampaging chicken place was relatively empty, so it would probably be empty at night as well. "I wonder what the enemies change from day to night, I saw someone fighting with a snake near the gate (here)." There are far more people than enemies by the gate, so I looked around and could not find even a snake. "Yesterday I went out on the map at the first sign, because I was running away to stay away from them." I should have checked what enemies are out there at night, Peter says. "They''re not as hard as slime, are they?" "I''d like to go there after I get new weapons, but the stores aren''t open at night, you know..." "Never mind!¡¡I don''t care! We confirm to each other that we will stay away from the waterfront at night, and head for the place where the rampaging chickens were during the day. It seems that everyone has acquired night vision. I feel a little guilty because I seem to be the only one with full initial equipment. The enemies at night are active, and I got tangled up with a snake while running. Leo seems to have applied the [dilution] this time, and it was Shin who got entangled. "Geez!¡¡I''m sorry!" "Idiot!" Kikuhime rushes to hit two snakes and take their tags. "The snakes will be fine, don''t worry about it, don''t worry about it." "Leo''s trap. I think it was Shin who got tangled up, but I think it was Leo who got tangled up." Shin also has [night vision], and the grassland is flat, so if there was no one (Leo) in front of him, he could have avoided it visually without [presence detection]. Shin must have entered into the range where Leo could not get entangled thanks to his [presence dilution], when Leo avoided him. Too soon to avoid, you guide! "I think I should take [detecting signs], the lead is unreliable quality." "You should also take the [dilution of signs], because if it''s out, it will weaken the enemy''s view of you in battle." "Wa-ha-ha-ha." Peter could have led the way to avoid the enemy, but Leo was running ahead of him, so I followed him. Sadly, I''m a mage who has [night vision] and [presence perception] but I''m too slow to lead. It would be troublesome if I go to the camp in pieces and get entangled in a solo situation, so I have been acting in a group so that I can fight in a party even if I get entangled in a solo situation. The leader leads the party to the route that avoids the enemy, so Leo or Peter, who is fast and has ¡¾Aware of presence¡¿ by unspoken agreement, is leading the party. The "presence dilution" is taken. 3S! The 3s! is big but it is much better than adjusting the attack in detail so as not to be tagged by the enemy in the party. "Oh no, it''s poison. ¡«¡«¡«¡«" Kikuhime screams,Kikuhime''s H! The bar is so small that you can just barely see it. Relieved that the poison doesn''t seem to be so strong, I put the water needle into the snake. If it looks dangerous, I''ll use my balls! It''s true. The poison anomaly disappears after the battle. I got two brim snakeskin. I''ve got two brimstone fangs. I''ve got brim snake venom. Cooking] has been added to the skill list. That one from yesterday: £¡£¡£¡£¡ "[Poison resistance] is here. "[Cooking] is..." Peter says in a voice that sounds like he''s trying not to laugh. "Why are you cooking? "For all intents and purposes, it''s Homura''s fault." Everyone laughed at Peter for being too greedy when he told them about last night. By the way, Leo and Peter were the only ones who went to the stalls before the rendezvous, while the others shopped at the stores facing the square. They had never been to the stores on the square before, and they took turns waiting for me near the guild and went their separate ways. "I can''t cook right now, so I''d like to have [poison resistance]." "Let''s all get bitten once." That''s what happened. We arrived at the area of the rampaging chickens, talking about how we would go get [poison resistance] when our level would be higher and it would be easier to get it. There was a huge rat, a Brim giant rat. Contrary to my expectation that they would be in groups, they were all over the grassland, one by one. "Let''s do it anyway." I''m gonna go get some! Leo runs out and brings a big rat with him. Active enemies will follow him for a certain distance as long as he is within their attack range, so the fast Leo or Peter brings him to where everyone is waiting, and Kikuhime hits him, changing the target to himself and starting the battle. It is faster for someone to catch a target by baiting himself than for everyone to move to the scattered enemies to fight. The set-up is that Leo forgets to apply the "dilution of signs" and catches the enemy when he doesn''t have to. "Rats, they''re creepy. ¡«¡«¡«¡«" Reddish-black eyes, tail covered with scale-like things, hard-looking body hair, even though I like hamsters, I don''t like this one, especially the tail. Back attack.""" "[Dragon] !" "[Throwing]!" You''re a [slash]! "[Heavenly] checkbox. It''s a trap that I never selected a skill to look at it because I thought there was no skill appraisal. Maybe the map I got from my friend only shows the basic roads maintained by the country or city, or recognized by the country. I''ll send an e-mail to everyone and tell them that some paths are not on the map. Should I take a [Skill Appraisal] now?¡¡I have 3s left! If you walk around thinking, "What should I do? It''s a little interesting. The alley was a dead end. At the end of the alley, there was a small wooden door with black iron studs on the top of three short steps. On either side of the door, the ground was exposed for the width of the three steps, and from the right, a thin tree, which looked like a sara tree, threw its branches over the old door, and from the left, grape ivy covered the wall, going around the side of the door and over the top. Good, very good! As I was getting excited with the nice atmosphere, the door opened and I saw a man who was going out. I was so embarrassed!¡¡But! "Excuse me, SS......, may I take your picture?" "What are you doing?" The old man was trying to get at me. Before I was scared, I remembered the old man in the stall. He seemed to be slightly older than the old man in the stall, but he was still tall and strong. "Sometimes I look at him and grin." I was thinking about something else and gave too honest an answer. I wonder if the SS (screenshot) or the photo came through. "...... are you a man of the world, my friend?" He gave me a very disgusted, horrified look. Not "old-fashioned" as in "the way of the people" but... "No, it''s a door. It''s the scenery of this alley. It''s not you. £¡£¡£¡£¡ I rushed to clear up the misunderstanding. No, he is a nice old man, so you can collect old man''s SS. "I''m sorry, you''re not a customer. "Customers?¡¡Do you handle anything?" "...... is already out of business." It''s a shame, he looks like he''s still going strong. But it''s nice to be able to relax and enjoy yourself, even if it doesn''t suit you." The old-fashioned way of saying "Shudo" made me think of a certain historical novel, in which the main character is a small old man. The image of this old man is different from that of this physically fit old man. "Doesn''t it suit you? "It doesn''t suit you. You look like you might be swinging a sword early in the morning." "You know what I mean?" He looks at me with a stupefied look on his face. You''re doing it. £¡£¡£¡£¡ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ...more...

He said it with a little disappointment.¡¡You like brains?¡¡I''m far from a gymnast, remember? At first he was a dour, dour man, and now he''s a vivacious old man. What has happened in such a short time? I''d like to be a magic swordsman someday... but it''s a long way off... "Well, if you ever want a sword, let me know, a sword would be even better." "You''re a sword smith, aren''t you? But I understand. Thank you. No, he wasn''t a muscleskier. He was a big old man with a tuft of hair that grew about 10 cm long in the back and the rest was short gray hair. He did not seem to be in business, so I asked him if he could tell Kikuhime about it, but he stopped me from doing so. We talked for a while, and she told me about a good long stick workshop, and we parted. Finally, I arrived at the long staff shop! And lo and behold, it was the workshop of the maker of the cane I had seen in the arms shop. It seems that the family business is run by his son who became an apprentice, and that is the first cane he has sold. That''s a long way. "Well, let''s go back to the armorer''s shop and buy one of his wands... I have to confess that my father''s wand is a little bit out of my budget. "Do you like it?" "Yes, I was looking for a cane based on that one. I was hoping to find something in the artisan district that was more powerful and less expensive, and if not, I was originally going to go back and buy that cane from the arms dealer. The boy, who looks away and bashful for a moment, says he is 16 years old, but his petite body and pale blond hair make him look much younger. He looks so much younger because of his small body and pale blond hair. "Wait a minute!" After saying this, he disappeared into the back, and when he came back, he was holding a walking stick. "Here, would you like to use it?" The staff offered to me was identical in performance to the one I had seen at the arms store. The difference is that it looks a little thinner and whiter. "I made it too thin for my hand, but it''s the first cane my father told me I could sell. I was going to keep it as a souvenir. ......" "I''m flattered, but I can''t promise I won''t break it if you use it." "I''m sure the cane would be happier if you used it!¡¡That''s what we were born to do." So I said, "No thanks," and was about to continue, when the following words came over me. That''s a royal craftsman''s response!¡¡If I only read the story as a story, I would have let it slide, but when it is said seriously in front of my eyes, I want to cherish the feelings of this novice craftsman. I understand, thank you. I''ll take good care of it." I offer him 7,500 shillings. It hurts my wallet, but I''ll be a fool if I don''t give it to him. I''m the one who asked for it, so take it. "This costs a lot of money for materials and technology. "Well, 5,000 shill. In return, let me make another one! "Okay." The boy gave me a cane and a partner card (patoka)!¡¡It''s inconvenient that I can''t give you my own patrol car. Can you please improve this? After that, almost being late for the meeting time, I ran to the robe shop that Ochazuke had told me about, bought a robe for 4,000 shillings, met up with the others, and took a streetcar back to the square. The carriage had several different routes, each costing a flat 100 shillings. I was quietly drunk while everyone else was enjoying the speed and ease of the ride. I felt dizzy and sick, I never thought I had the constitution to get drunk even in the game world. Everyone was buying shoes and accessories in addition to clothes and weapons, and we showed each other our loot. I''ll go shopping again when I''m solo and time is not on my side. The workshop with Julius deals in wands, books, and magic weapons in general, and even at a fixed price, the items are good, so I informed Ochazuke by e-mail, but he had already purchased them at a place specializing in short staffs. It was just in the nick of time, after all. Then, [Weapons and Armor Appraisal] and [Tools and Medicine Appraisal] reached level 2, but everyone else had reached level 3. Is this the result of naked slacking off? If there was a skill like [Backdoor Appraisal], I''m sure it would have gone up. Peter had sent a stray and received a patrol car at the clothing store where he had sent it, a young girl. "So he was a pedophile after all." Pedophile. "You''re a pedophile." Pedophile! I''m afraid for my life. Wait!¡¡You guys! Leo was so liked by the workshop father that for some reason he took him on as a blacksmith''s apprentice. His behavior is too far out of line. The restaurant is crowded a little after noon, though not as much as last night, and we are sitting on a bench in the plaza, eating a wide-mouthed unglazed jar with an oval bread instead of a lid, which we bought at the restaurant''s outdoor food stand. The jar is filled with stewed moo tail, which tastes like beef. The contents of the jar are scooped out with shredded bread and eaten with the bread. It is difficult to find the right amount of bread, but it is delicious. E!? The only time he has time to lose is when he is fighting. "Well, now that we have new equipment, let''s go for revenge on the wolves..." That''s what happened. "[Slash], right!" The gray wolf turns into light and disappears. I have the gray wolf''s pelt. I have the fangs of the gray wolf. "I stopped trying to [howl] on the way, but what was that attack going to be?" Perhaps because of his experience with slime mucus, Peter has taken up the [Shime] skill, which allows him to block the activation of his enemies'' skills, and he is now practicing it. He was able to stop [howl], but he has failed to stop any of the skills used by the wolves before that. It seems that the timing is quite tight, and it differs for each skill used by the enemy. Moreover, even if you hit the target, the chance of activation is not 100%, and it is much lower against enemies who are higher ranked than you are. If it hits and does not activate, the damage will be 1 or 2, which means that you can tell whether it is activated or not. "You mean, like being stuck by the pressure?" "Rat math, wolf math, and more wolf service." "I''d be willing to apply for the wolf more campaign." This is what happened to the wolf that escaped with his life yesterday. It''s not surprising, since the level of the wolves has improved since our first encounter, and their equipment is not only one level better, but also a lot better. "Well, I''m going to join the attack, so let''s ask the wolf to come..." "Wahaha!¡¡Or maybe it was the intimidation one!" It was the one with more wolves. Thanks to you, I''m level 10. Three wolves at the same time was a piece of cake, but when there were five wolves, the damage from Kikuhime''s recovery shifted to Ochazuke, and there were some dangerous situations, but if we reduced the number of wolves before they reached five, there was no problem. The levels of the skills [Intelligence Enhancement], [Water Magic], [Wood Magic], [Attentive Detection], and [Attentive Dilution] were raised. He learned , which stops enemies in their tracks, and , which inflicts a small amount of damage on enemies every ten seconds. I only know these two things since I''m still at level 2, but it may be that more magic will be added to the list of auxiliary magic. I''m also interested in [earth magic]. I took a chance and got it with [Skill Appraisal], since I have S! The first magic of "earth magic" is , and its effect is darkness. After I learned [Earth Magic], [Wind Magic] was added to the list. I wonder if there are more magic spells than the initial one. The S! for [Wind Magic] is 1.0. is 2, of course I have learned it. "Come to think of it, aren''t there a few people here? During a break, Shin looked suspicious as he ate a piece of manga meat, where he bought it. "Oh, I heard that the others are fighting goblins at the west gate, and that goblins have a low probability of getting magic stones used to strengthen their equipment. Ochazuke, who has been following the bulletin board closely, replies. "Heh." "Come to think of it, the constant requests for E-rank are also from goblins." I answer while eating a grilled skewer, "E! The amount of recovery is becoming insufficient. "I''m sure I''ll make mistakes, but I can work up to +10 at the repair shop. "Only what kind of failures?" "The base value of endurance is lowered, and if you fail 10 times, it will break." Even if it doesn''t break, if the durability goes from 100/100 to 10/10, I think I''ll have to repair it after every battle. No, rather, it will be broken in one battle. Reinforcement, I''m afraid. "That''s also something Leo and Shin would like..." "Gambling!¡¡Wa-ha-ha." "Well, it''ll be crowded and we''ll be fighting over enemies, so if it''s hard to get out, I''d rather do it during the hours when there are inn bonuses." "Right." "You can always set the initial equipment to 10, so you might as well do it for insurance, or maybe not." We resumed the wolf hunt, and a few moments later, there was a pitch-black wolf. Unlike the gray wolves I had seen in the past, it had been accompanied by a gray wolf from the beginning, and it was unmistakably larger than the gray wolf. "There''s one that looks strong." "Isn''t he Shin''s senior?¡¡Tell him a few words from a junior." It''s so big and powerful! "And you''re the smallest Chrysanthemum Princess." I think it''s almost four times as big as me, the black wolf, the largest male wolf in the world. I have four companions, and I think I''m okay now that I''m two levels up, but I don''t know how strong the black wolf is. But since I found them, I decided to give it a try. I drank a lot of potions and tried to make H! M!? E! and E! "I''m going to die!" Wasn''t that a little nuanced, now? The tactic is that after Kikuhime takes the tag, I will provoke the black wolves and hit the others one by one and I will apply to them as I hit them. Mud doesn''t work or doesn''t work well on the black wolves, so I cast <> on them and leave them alone for now. The wolves join the attack on the gray wolf that Kikuhime is hitting, and when one of them sinks, the effect of <> wears off, so the same procedure as before is used to apply it again. When one of them sinks, two of the remaining three wolves howl and call a new one. Peter stops one of them with a [ÊËÊÖ], but the number of them does not decrease. It''s better that two wolves are not called like when there are only gray wolves. I tried to ignore the companions, whose number increases when they are defeated, and tried to kill the black wolves first, but they used [howl] after a certain period of time even if I didn''t kill them. Then, the black wolf''s [Roar] put fear in them and prevented all of them from moving. They were able to move immediately, but their attacks and the skills they were using were canceled. The attack was on me, not on Kikuhime, who was the target of the attack, and I was hit by a single blow. The H! H! is gradually decreasing. I was worried that my defense was that weak, but the attack of the black wolf that came after the [Roar] was random, and the other wolves were sure to have their H! I was afraid that they did not have such a good defense (or that they were too weak). I guess it is that kind of attack. It seems that [Roar] also strengthens the companion, and the attack power of the gray wolf is also increased. It is more troublesome when the next attack of "Roar" hits Kikuhime. The gray wolf''s attack is concentrated on Kikuhime before she recovers from the half damage, and if a critical hit occurs, she may be in danger. It is likely to be a terrible war of attrition, though it is possible to win if one can hang on until the gray wolf stops calling for its companions. Ochazuke is trying to heal Kikuhime while he is trying to get H! He is very busy recovering everyone''s H! If you don''t keep the H! If you hit a wolf that is not howling, you will be served one wolf at a time, so there is a danger of hitting two wolves at random. "It would be easier if the attack power was increased and the time to kill one wolf was shortened by one turn. "It''s tough to call your friends if you''re a little late in defeating them." Ochazuke and Peter analyze the war situation, though this time it may not be so much analysis. The two of them are still very logical in battle, they think as they look at the gray wolf. Leo, by the way, destroys that logic. "Hmm?¡¡Before [howling], didn''t he lightly scratch the ground with his hind legs?" It''s hard to see because of the wagging of the tail that lacks fluff. "OK, I got it! I got 20 gray wolf pelts. I got 18 gray wolf fangs. I got the blood of a gray wolf x 6. I got a black wolf pelt. I got the fangs of the black wolf. I got the black wolf''s magic stone. Earth magic is now at Lv. 2. Fear Resistance] and [Hemostasis] have been added to the skill list. The black wolf turned into light with Shin''s quadruple combo and disappeared . It was quick after all the gray wolves were down. A fighter with firepower is cool, but a shifu who does his job is also cool. "It was tough, but I guess it was less stressful than slime." "I think I''m going to get a [stockbroker] too." "E!? I wonder if there is some kind of recovery medicine, it was hard to eat during the battle." "I''d love to have some." "Same here..." After the break, we were divided into different groups to go to the mining point. I was fine because I was applying [Attention Detection] and [Attention Dilution], but Kikuhime got entangled nearby, so after I saved her, we went to the same place to collect. I had been collecting at a little distance from Berry so as not to compete with each other, but I found out that other players can collect at the same place even if they have collected all the items that Berry can collect, and I did not have to worry about it. There is also a difference in the food that can be picked by those who do not have [Gathering], such as berries, etc. When those who do not have [Gathering] gather, as it appears, one food is one food, but when they gather, they can gather one to three at a time with high efficiency. Here, medicinal herbs, hemostatic herbs, and heart-stopping fruits were obtained, and from the names, it seems that medicines against black wolves can be made. By the way, only one gray wolf was involved. potion, I managed to kill it before it howled. It''s a good thing that her [Fire Magic] was at 4. Night fell. We are fighting again. The location is the shallow forest where the horned rabbit used to be. Basically, they are in a low position to be attacked, but sometimes they flap their wings and stay out of reach, and use a skill called [bloodsucking], the effect is the standard damage to me and recovery to them. My magic, oatmeal, and the two thieves'' projectiles can reach them, so Shin and Kikuhime heal them with potions while the bat is on top of them. After one battle, Kikuhime also took [throw]. Shin had to throw a S! and if the bat goes up after that, Shin is a healer. Before the second round begins, I give Shin a potion. I was thinking how hard physics is, but it turns out that of [Wind Magic] can bring the bats down, though it''s not a sure thing. It''s easy to fight when you have a variety of professions, such as this one and the [Shikigami]. "Well, I guess we should take measures against flying enemies while we still can..." Shin strokes his big hand through his scraggly beard and grumbles. "I compared the damage with Kikuhime, but it seems that the projectile is not purely STR-dependent, but DEX-dependent." "Of course, it''s the initial skill of a sheikh." Peter responds to Ochazuke''s musings. "I''ll do something physical too, before enemies with magic resistance appear." I wonder if gold magic will work. No, there might be some kind of chant blocking. Silence. "Bats are inefficient... It''s almost time to go back to the inn." "I guess." I agree with Ochazuke. It''s two o''clock in the morning, and if I don''t get some sleep, it will affect my work tomorrow. Thus ended my first day. ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ Increase...

Natural Recovery], [Night Vision], [Map]. 12 - 10. Login Day 2 I came home from work, finished dinner and bath, and logged in. The time is 9:30 p.m. I could have gotten in before 9:00 p.m. if I hurried, but I''m an adult and I''ve done what I had to do without cutting corners. I''m sure that during the daytime my friends are in an area I''ve never seen before, fighting enemies I''ve never seen before, and I''m getting frustrated thinking about it, but I can''t help it. Before my consciousness fell into this world, a message came through that a bug in the world announcement had been fixed. It seems that some people could not hear the world announcement when an event or battle was about to start. You can check the list of the world announcements that have been played so far. When I logged in, it was midnight in my world. I am in bed, thinking about what to do. My friends seem to be taking a rest (logging out). Peter is sleeping on the next bed, but his friend list is gray, and his name turns white when he logs in. At this rate, the logout break with the others will not be too far behind. I wonder if the character remains when logging out, which explains why logging out is recommended for innkeepers. I casually noticed that the sheets on the bed are moving up and down a little. It would be perfect if Leo was snoring. Then I looked at the back of the bed and saw that Leo was not snoring, but he was sleeping on his stomach in a very uncomfortable position. I wondered if my sleeping condition was okay. No, my sheets and clothes were undisturbed, so I guessed it would be okay. Oh, I must buy a nightgown. Well, it''s nighttime, let''s stay out and work on production. I''ll send a login greeting to everyone as I leave the lodge for the moment. Before I start production, I need to get yesterday''s gray wolf material to the guild for sil. Oh, and I should buy a sword for my sword skill. Time is running out for me to find an old man''s stall. I have so many things to do. So here we are at the production material shop and production facility rental place. I don''t think it''s a good idea to be carrying around raw meat, so I''ll start with cooking. I have some cooking tools bought at a stall, but I''ve heard from Ochazuke that the production facility is definitely more efficient up to a certain level. I decided to start with production as a leveling up process and decided to look at the forums, which I rarely do in other games. There were those who acquired cooking skills by helping at stalls and those who acquired them by renting facilities, cooking once, and then fighting battles. The former requires that you have to be liked by the residents or encounter them when they are in trouble, while the latter costs money but is quicker, and after it was written on the bulletin board, the number of players who took the latter method increased by far. It seems that the skill appears only after a battle in which the corresponding action is taken. And I helped the shopkeeper who was in trouble. And if you reach level 10 in [Cooking], you can change your occupation to a chef in a restaurant. If you meet the requirements, you can change to other production jobs in your guild or other related places. In the beginning, it is also possible to become a temple worker, including combatants. In temples, it is possible to exchange main and subordinate jobs. The main job affects the status of the main job when leveling up, for combat jobs, mages tend to gain INT, shephs tend to gain DEX and AGI, production jobs, blacksmiths tend to gain DEX and STR, seamstresses tend to gain DEX and AGI, and apothecaries tend to gain DEX and MID. I guess that alchemists are likely to raise DEX and INT, though I didn''t see it mentioned. In short, you should decide your main profession as early as possible, because your status will increase according to your profession. I have already reached the level of changing jobs. I have more things to do, I have to become a swordsman and get skills! Production skills are a little different. Swordsman''s [Slash] is a single skill, but production skills are like [Magic] and increase in various ways. However, it is said that they are increased by actions. He got when he sewed for a long time, and got when he sewed straight and straight again. He also said that the skills learned as a skill will save time and guarantee a certain level of quality, and that, for example, the learned in sewing can be used in leatherworking. As you can see from the fact that you have to take one combat job and one production job, this game allows you to fight and produce at the same time. On the other hand, you can do some fighting while producing, so you can procure materials on your own to some extent, although you may not be able to do so when you reach a higher level. There are <> and <> for cooking, and if you gather ingredients according to <> and cook them, you can acquire <> such as "baking", and you can cook "baking" dishes other than <>. > is a cookbook for those who cannot cook in the real world after learning , and is also a record of the dishes you have made and a memo of the dishes you can make with the same quality as long as you have the right ingredients. Once a new dish made with the learned is made, it is registered as a . For those who are not good at cooking, there is also a single recipe for sale. For those who are not good at cooking, there is a single recipe available for purchase. >1 to 5 can be purchased in the production facility, so we rent a room for one hour, the shortest time available, and go inside. Inside is an easy-to-use kitchen with a sink, cutting board, oven, gas stove, and a charcoal grill for grilling. There is even a marble cooking table to keep the heat in, and a facility to heat the dishes. I am not at all confident in my ability to use them, and there is even equipment I have never seen before. I purchased Recipe 1 on sale, and when I used the recipe, a new item for cooking recipes appeared under the that had been added to the menu when I [Appraise]. Recipe 1 lists berry juice, orange juice, and grape juice. The price of Recipe 1 is 100 sil. It seems that the price is 100 times the number of each recipe. I sold off the gray wolf pelt, which was fine, since I had recovered more than 15,000 shillings in my pocket. I am relieved, because before the hunt it was really less than 1,000 sil. I decided to start with berry juice since I had plenty of berries, checked the ingredients, and bought some more water that was missing. There was water for cooking that I had bought from a stall, but I found cheaper water at a lower rank, so I decided to use it for mass production. I heard that cooking can look the same without any skills as long as you have the right equipment, but it is rated 2 or lower. The bread with meat sandwiched in it that Peter and I made had a good taste, probably because Jos, the owner of the store, who has skills, helped us to make it. And if it was a dish, it could be just tasteless, but if it was a medicine, rating 1 would be a poison. Dangerous, dangerous. Now for the recipe. Check the recipe and make sure you have two berries and three waters in your possession. Cook. Three berry juices will be made. That''s all. The sink, mixer, and other equipment are just for decoration. They increase the efficiency of production just by being there. No, you can use them manually, but the result won''t be much different, at least at the current level. I''d like to grill meat on a net! So let''s mass produce more and more. The player''s food has a rating of 4 in addition to Rank, and "normal" food has a rating of 4, the same as the resident''s rating. The "normal" dishes have a rating of 4, the same as the inhabitants'' rating. Since the ranks of the dishes in Recipe 1 are low, the player proceeds with his work with a rating of 4 to 5, and rarely with a rating of 6. As a matter of course, the higher the Rank of the food and the ingredients, the more likely it is to fail, and the higher the Rank of the ingredients, the higher the rating tends to be, if the skill is sufficient to avoid failure. However, since the Rank of the material you can handle is determined by your job level, you cannot handle too high level materials. I am not a cook, so I will soon reach my limit. The higher the rating, the higher the E! The amount of recovery is increased from the basic value of the food, and the taste becomes tastier. On the other hand, 1 to 3 are tasteless, and 1 is a bad status, and is not considered as a successful production, and no experience is gained. Therefore, the higher the rank, the more experience you get, but it is meaningless if you fail in making something that does not match your ability. The price to sell to the residents is also lower for the ranks 1 to 3. The selling price of a 7 is the same as that of a 4, but only the failures are cheaper, d*mn it. I thought 82 berries were a lot, but I was totally imagining it. In no time at all I had 123 cups of berry juice. I bought more berries and adjusted the production to 99 berry juices x 3. Thanks to Kikuhime, I have room in my pouch, but I have to be careful because it will be full in no time. Water and berries cost 2 shillings. I bought berry juice at a stall for 5 shillings, but the selling price is 4 shillings. It''s an early recipe, so the experience gained is small. The next step is to make 99 orange juices. You can buy oranges and water, and recipe 1 requires only two ingredients and can make three dishes at a time. Next was grape juice. It seems that the Rank of the foods is Berry < Orange < Grape, with a few grape juices rated lower than the berry juices. Putting that aside, the level of grape juice increased during the process of making grape juice. Recipes with high ingredient costs have high Rank, and the level of the recipe can be easily raised, but selling them will result in a loss, so I can''t make them with much enthusiasm. Too bad. I''ve mastered [squeeze]. From now on, you will be able to make any dish that is not a . Recipe 1 has been completed, and you now have a associated with your [specialty dish]. You can learn how to cook only one of the that you have obtained. Moreover, > or > is registered as ¡¾Special Cuisine¡¿, and it will be given a +2 evaluation. It is amazing that even a dish with a high rank that does not match your level will be rated +2 from the lowest rating of 1 to a rating of 3. However, it is impossible to make a dish which is not suitable for the level due to the barrier of material Rank. I heard that if you are a "chef" as your main job, your status will be improved to be more favorable to the production job, and even if you are a "cook" as a sub, the rank of the ingredients you use will be compensated. I love eating, but I also love adventuring and fighting, so I plan to remain a fighter as my main job and a potion-maker as a sub-producer. I will not be able to compete with those whose main job is production, but I will be able to make some high rated food if I am good at it, even if it is difficult to rate 10. In this game, the initial skills of production workers are limited to S! is not required for many of the production jobs so that you can produce while fighting. If the first dish you eat is a , then either or or or will be your "special dish". If you eat several dishes, only one of them will appear, and if you get a "special dish" without eating it, it will be either "grill" or "". This is a discussion on the bulletin board. I envy those who are just starting out, because they can choose their own [specialty]. Now, let''s see what my "specialty" is. If I go in order, it would be the first < I put in my mouth, or something in the process of making tea, such as [blending] or [extraction]. Cooking method [extract] [ferment] [mix] [bake] [fry] [fry] [fry] [fry] [smoke] [dry] [brew]. Ingredients < <<<<<>...... yes, the roasted flying rabbit came with a salad and bread too. < and both being mentioned?¡¡The rest seems to be Galahad''s snacks for all intents and purposes. I think it was smoked eggs, dried fish, three kinds of cheese, nuts, and dried fruits. I remember it well because I was interested in tasting it and he offered it to me even though he rarely ate it during the conversation. I was curious enough to taste it, so I remember it well. I found out the name of the dish in the recipe and knew it corresponded to his specialty, although it remains a mystery why I remembered it so well. Later I checked and found that some people had written that they had registered the tasting samples given to them by the inhabitants of the stalls. There were three patterns: if you were a juicer, tasting <<<> would give you two of your specialties <<> and you would have more [specialties] than if you ate them as usual. If you organize a party and taste the same juice with your friends, you will get two kinds of juice. When I tasted only one kind of food by myself, I got only one specialty. At the stalls, you can get two or more tasting dishes by talking to the owner of the dish you want, or by partying together and tasting the same dish to get two specialties! The article concluded with the following words. I don''t know, am I a Galahad cheat or what? I don''t know, but I''m not sure if I''m a Galahad cheat. Is it okay? I can''t finish the recipes for beer, cheese, smoked eggs, dried fruits, and dried fish that go along with [Specialty Cuisine]. It''s not something you can just start making at once! When you make something from a recipe, you can choose from the recipe and finish it almost immediately, except for a slight time lag in roasting the other items. So I think beer and other things can be made in much less time than in the real world. So, the recipes in the menu repeatedly switch at regular intervals between cheese fermenting, beer brewing, smoked eggs smoking, and dried fruits and dried fish drying. The rest of the menu is done without incident, and the roast now has added to its skill set. After that, I made a series of <> and succeeded in making all of them if I did not care about the rating. Recipes 4 and 5 were rated 3 to 4, and it seemed to me that they were just barely done with the obvious specialties correction, but I don''t care. < added to the and are: pressing, extracting, boiling, fermenting, mixing, baking, frying, deep-frying, smoking, drying, and brewing. The < in the skill is M! was consumed. Recipe 5 was a little different: <<<>. I had already taken as my specialty, but I made all of them to raise my skill level. The bait was probably fishing bait, I''ll give it to Leo later. And the boiled eggs were hard-boiled only when I made them normally, but when I used <>, I can now choose from half-boiled to hard-boiled as I like. I learned how to cook meat and learned a recipe for steak by using <> that I learned from the nut roast!¡¡Here, too, I could choose rare, medium, or well done with <. Although there was no [Grill] in the basic recipes 1 to 5, it seems that both [Grill] and are compensated for, and the rating is 5. Let''s give it to the meat-skiing Thin. In my spare time, I try to make steaks from the meat in the pouch, and fry french fries. I wanted to raise the level to get my money back, but I calculated the cost of production and found that everything was in the red, so I spent a lot of time producing berry juice and restoring the lost sill. I spent my time roasting Leo''s fish on skewers. Leo''s fish is now rated 5. The cooking level was 3, but I guess [grilling] still lacks dexterity and level. Leo''s fish had a high material Rank. The production skills may not be the best for early recipes, but high rank recipes need good tools and materials to get a high evaluation. I heard that if you make chef a profession, you can compensate for the material rank and the level of recipes you can handle to make them easier. I mean, Leo, this fish must be rare!¡¡It''s huge! If it weren''t for the cooking correction, I''m sure I''d rate you a 1! I went to the fishing forum and didn''t see any fish called < £¡£¡£¡£¡ Also, someone named Leo caught a rare fish and a world announcement came out. Some of the rares are called nushi, which are special fish that appear when the time, place, weather, and other conditions are right, and the first time you catch one, you get a special prize. So the name Leo is a fisherman. While I was doing this, I received a text message from Ochazuke, calling me to come to the inn''s cafeteria because everyone was about to wake up. I replied that I would be right there, and I would make some early dishes. I sold off what I could not recover enough, packed up my stuff and left the production facility. I had intended to do some pharmacy work, but I got carried away by extending the rental of the cooking facilities. I am happy that I can now brew a nice cup of tea. ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ Increase Specialty Cuisine Cooking method Extracting] [Fermenting] [Mixing] [Baking] [Frying] [Deep-frying Ingredients < Skill ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ Homura Lv.10 Rank E Occupation Mage, Pharmacist H!?¡¡¡¡214 M!?¡¡¡¡347 STR 10 VIT 11 INT 40 MID 14 DEX 9 AGI 10 LUK 10 N!?C!?¡¡Galahad] [-] Title [Interactionist Skill (2S!?) ¡öMagic and Magic Wood magic Lv.2] [Fire magic Lv.4] [Earth magic Lv.2 Gold Magic Lv.3] [Water Magic Lv.3] [Wind Magic Lv.1 Production Mixing Lv.1] [Alchemy Mixing Lv.1] [Cooking Lv.3 Collecting Collecting ¡ö Appraisal and concealment Tool medicine appraisal Lv.2] [Plant food appraisal Lv.2 Animal and Demon Appraisal Lv.3] [Skill Appraisal Lv.1 Weapons and Armor Appraisal Lv.2 Attention Detection Lv.2] [Attention Dilution Lv.2 Enhancement Intellectual power enhancement Lv.2 Others M! Natural Recovery], [Night Vision], [Map]. 13 - 11. Rejoining and Muffling Temptations As I stepped out of the production material shop, I saw a yellow moon in the west and a small white moon in the distance, and looking back, I could see the roofs of the buildings and the sky in the east was a faint whiteish purple. Dawn must be approaching soon. Even at this time of the day, the plaza is full of players. I am one of them, and if I think about it calmly, it is inevitable that it is crowded since it is before 22:00 in real time, but this world is so real that I can''t help thinking in this world''s time, even though it is so late. I feel a little guilty about the fact that I''m doing this without their consent, but I''m letting it slide without looking at the results, so forgive me! I want to level up, so I decided to cut them some slack. We pass in front of the guild, which is the busiest area, and head for the inn''s cafeteria. The inn, like the guild, has dark brown floorboards, pillars, and white walls, but it is more decorated and looks more gorgeous than the guild. The walls are hung with alternating lights and mirrors reflecting the lights, and the corridor is much brighter than I expected. "Oh!¡¡Here it comes." I wave back when Leo stops eating and hands me a piece of wood to exchange for breakfast at the door. "Thanks for waiting." We took our seats, and breakfast was quickly served between short greetings. Today''s breakfast consisted of a small but thick slice of toast with jam, salad, three kinds of cheese, three kinds of ham, and orange juice. Are you still eating?¡¡Of course I will. How many levels did you go up? If we had done it all the way from the morning in real time, we would have spent three or four days in this world, so there would have been quite a difference. "I''m at 14!" Four levels down, and Shin, you''ll have to swallow before you can talk to me. "I''m a little less efficient now that I have less attackers." Thank you Peter. "Homura, you''re level 10, right?¡¡We''re talking about changing jobs and doing battle with everyone." A man of a little bit of everything, Ochazuke suggests. Although he has a small appetite, he orders many kinds of food, and often leaves some behind, but he is often stuck eating it all because he is caught up with everyone else. He is often stuck eating all of the food. "You don''t have to go along with me," he says. You don''t have to accommodate me. I''m sure I''ll be off log in time in the future, and by the next time I see you, you''ll have caught up on your levels during my break." In the past games, except for Ochazuke, I have often been rather higher level than him, Leo and Kikuhime sleep earlier than me, Peter has longer hours at work than most, and Shin usually has shorter login time than me due to his long commute. "We want to get a [stock]." "If I''m going to go the distance, I''d like to take [fire magic] and see if I can''t become a flaming fist." "I''ll take sorcery and ninjutsu as well." You finally gave up the bow? He runs into Peter without thinking. "So today and tomorrow, I''m going to raise the level of my second job to 20, and then I''m going to change jobs, and then I''m going to change my job back. "Yes, sir." The fact that Ochazuke knows about it means that there are already people on the board who have changed jobs for the second job, and since Shin and the others are now 14, the fastest ones must be further ahead. "I see, am I right to be a swordsman?¡¡What about recovery?¡¡I feel like you can''t take the hate if I''m a low-level swordsman." It occurred to me that I don''t think I have a recovery. "Ha-ha-ha-ha!¡¡I''m the healer!" "What?¡¡The annihilation flag!" Leo wants to go fishing all over the world, and he wants to be fast and able to hide and heal himself. What kind of job he plans on getting is a mystery. "Don''t worry, I''m high level, but my skill level is low and people don''t do that much damage to me. I could not shake off my uneasiness even as I sipped my after-dinner coffee and listened to Ochazuke''s words. I heard that while I was away, the first defeat of an area boss and a field boss and the first arrival at a new town took place, and that there was a world announcement for each and that there were special offers for the players who had achieved the first defeat and the first arrival. After breakfast, we went out to the plaza and took a horse-drawn carriage to the center of the city, heading for the temple. Job changes, except for production jobs, are currently being made at the temple. "Homura, they say you can get light or dark if you pray at the temple." Ochazuke, who is checking the bulletin board again, calls out to me, and I speak up to keep up with the sound of the rattling carriage. "Oh?¡¡Just praying?" "Yes, it seems that swordsmen also get light if they heal and pray. "Paladin course, huh?" "I''m going to be a warrior, so that''s fine." I guess there''s also dark knight. "Yesterday, I got the moon too, after you taught me. I wanted to get a star too. Gag! "Peter and Leo have a guild of thieves in the slums." We arrived at the temple in no time after listening to Ochazuke-sensei''s bulletin board information, such as the fact that even if you don''t use a skill, you get some of the experience from other skills of the same type you used, which actually helped me because I was feeling drunk again. "What should I do with my equipment after changing jobs?¡¡Do you want to go to the artisans'' workshop?" "I wonder if the artisans'' quarters will be open early..." The stores in the industrial district, which also serve as workshops, are often active at dawn and close when the sun goes down. The sun is the basis of the residents'' working hours. "We''ll lend you a weapon..." "We''ll lend you a weapon..." "Let''s trade until you change jobs!" "Thank you, I can''t lend you my initial equipment, and I only have one staff, what do you want?" He asks Shin and Peter. "Shin, go ahead - I''ll buy a cheap one, you work for me!" "Oh, thanks~, we can''t loan out the armor, can we?" "Is it because of the size that you can''t rent out armor?" "Why don''t you go pray for homura?¡¡If you''re going to take it, the sooner the better." I''ll pray for you. Kikuhime, let me know when you move to the armor shop. "Won''t this be over soon?¡¡I read on the board that you only need to do it during prayer because going around the halls of worship doesn''t change the results." "There are six halls of worship here, and this is my first time at the temple, so I thought I''d visit them all. It would take a long time if I prayed in all of them, and I don''t have to choose a weapon. "Nah, I understand." "Yes, sir!¡¡Have a good day!" "Then we''ll meet at the armor shop, and we''ll be off." I''ll see you later. "Have a good day!" At the intersection of the main street from the south to the Lords'' Hall and the main street from east to west, there is a square, and the temple stands to the northwest of it, surrounding the square for a quarter of its length. The square worship hall in the north alone is larger than both the Adventurers'' and Commercial Guilds combined, and is truly a chalk temple. The reception desk for new jobs is located at the eastern entrance, and it was probably added later because of the different style of the building. The reception desk, the office, and the priest''s residence are connected to the hall of worship through the prayer hall. There are six gods worshipped in this world: Asha, the god of war and rebirth in the form of a fierce red-haired youth; Val, the god of freedom and travelers in the form of a graceful silver-haired woman; Dur, the god of fertility and earth in the form of a gentle old woman; Lusha, the god of merchants and craftsmen in the form of a blond manchild; and the god of love and hunting in the form of a blue-haired girl. The statues of the god Far, the god of magic and alchemy, Tasha, the god of magic and alchemy, the old man with a long beard, were enshrined in a corridor-like building that ran around the courtyard. In front of the hall immediately after entering the temple was the courtyard, which could be seen without any doors. There was a huge hardwood tree that seemed to be over the roof of the temple, and several young trees that also had magnificent trunks. The rest of the trees are well-kept undergrowth. To the right from the hall is the hall of fal and to the left is the prayer room. A few players who seem to be mages or swordsmen are being sucked into the prayer room. It seems to be another space like in the tutorial. On the worship side of the hall, there is a stone tablet embedded in the wall, inscribed with a strange phrase that could be a scripture. The gods control the turning of the seasons. The seasons do not turn when the gods are away. The only thing that takes its place is a little piece. The sky turns with the wind, The earth turns with the flow of water. It is the seasons of the earth that rotate. When it has finished turning, pray silently. Anyway, let''s take a rest in the courtyard for a while. I was afraid you might say, "Shall we all walk together? Carriages are fast and nice, but I''m not going to take one when I''m alone. I didn''t want people to see me from the corridor, so I stepped through the undergrowth and went under a huge tree. Since it is surrounded by shrubs, I guess that I can''t be seen from here. Looking up at the giant tree, even the first branch is three times my height, spreading its branches all over the courtyard and creating a thick shadow. I sit down with my back against the giant tree, thinking that if I sit down I will not be able to see it completely, and serve myself the tea I made this morning. The sound of leaves rustling in the air is pleasant to my ears, and the wind is blowing well for a courtyard surrounded by buildings. In the real world, too, I feel happy when I see a big tree, not only in the precincts of shrines and temples. As I look at the sun shining through the trees, I wonder if the young trees will be all right in such a shady environment, and I start to feel sober again. "Have you not come to receive power from me? He spoke to me out of the blue, from overhead. Leaning against a tree, I looked up and saw a huge tree glowing faintly, and a white animal, neither a cat nor a fox, with a long tail and fur, floating under the first branch. "Who is it?" It is indeed a fantasy, a talking beast. Since I was right below it, I could see almost only the lower half of its body at the first encounter, and I could catch a glimpse of its face peering at me through the lower half of its body. I am sitting holding a cup and a saucer, with my head bent back, which is a pretty dumb composition. "Normal people don''t drink tea in the shrine. When he said this, he moved so that they were facing each other. He was sniffing the aroma of tea, as if he was curious about it. "Do you want some?" The basic recipe for tea is 2, with a rating of 8 for the specialty correction. "Don''t be silly, I''m more like a spirit. Even if I could, I''d probably only be able to eat fruits, which is the limit for those of the human world. "Tea is usually made by boiling the leaves, flowers or fruits of plants. This is leaves and apple peels. He holds out a cup filled with a liquid that is redder than ordinary tea. "If it is undrinkable, will it upset your stomach?" I ask the hesitant white creature. "No, I just can''t drink what I can''t drink. I will spit it out in rejection. "Then why don''t you give it a try?¡¡Do you want a new brew?" "...... No, not too hot either." Curiosity got the better of the white creature and it put its tongue in the tea. "It seems to be all right." "...... is good." "Thank you." "I didn''t mean it as a compliment to you." Flatten your ears and turn away. "I made this." "What, what ......? I told him with a smile, and he reacted as if he had a letter written behind his back. Why? "You can drink all of it." "......mm." After a beat, he starts drinking again. I tickle the base of the white creature''s ear. It froze for a moment and looked at me annoyed, but it did not run away but turned its face to the cup and started to drink again, so I continued to stroke it. The white hairs were so plentiful, soft and smooth that I was surprised they were not tangled. When I slide my fingers between the hairs, I feel a strange sensation of coolness and warmth. "Holy shit!¡¡That''s enough!¡¡...... tsk." "If I were the old me, I''d have the whole city to myself by now, huh?" He was saying something, but there was no resistance, so I muffed him with my desire. Five minutes later, I found a furball stretched out on my lap, rumbling and choking. The pink of its paw pads was bright. I''m glad he was satisfied. "Well, I guess I''d better get going." "How dare you ......" He came to his senses when he heard my voice. "Yes, yes, I''m sorry. I''ve got a meeting to go to." "Wait a minute. I''ll let you off the hook for touching me unintentionally. Listen to me, I have a role to play! The white creature stands up holding her and speaks hurriedly. "Role?" "Well, you have wind magic, don''t you?" "Yes, I have it." "On that condition, I give the [spirit art] to those who come to this great tree." "Thank you?" "...... Why the question mark there, my dear?" No, it''s because the fluffy thing in front of me is a stronger temptation than the spirit technique. The white creature sighed and reached up from its hand to touch my forehead. I have mastered the skill of "Spirit Art". The Spirit of the Wind has blessed you. The occupation [Spiritual User] has been added to the list of occupations. Oh, so it''s not an addition to the list, but an acquisition. That''s a good deal. That''s all right. You have now made a covenant with the spirit of the wind, albeit a weak one. There are spirits all over the world, but only a few that can bless you. Spiritism is the art of invoking spirits by offering magic power to them. Sometimes a medium is needed to call powerful spirits. "Okay." I thought you were in the hall of worship!¡¡Why are you taking me with you?" They were moving even while I was talking to them. Fifteen minutes have already passed, and considering that I am going to visit the hall of worship, I guess I made them wait too long, even if I deducted the time for shopping. "I was thinking of taking it home with me." I told you I have a job to do! "It''s okay to go out once in a while, you shouldn''t work too hard." "That''s not the point!¡¡I am sealed up in here! Can''t you leave the temple? I can''t leave! "Will the city collapse or something?¡¡Or are you voluntarily holed up?" No, I''m not going to let it fall apart now, and I don''t have the power to do so. We are not voluntarily holed up. "Then what''s the problem?" What''s the problem? I can''t get out even if I tried. I''ll give it a try when I''m done with my prayers." "......" The white creature seems to have given up on something and is slumped over. ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ More... Skills [Spirit art].

"I only tell my name to those who recognize me as Lord, who will tell me their names!¡¡And I only have the name I had before I was sealed. I am more like a spirit, and if I am called by the image of my name, I will be drawn to that image and repeat the past." "You were sealed up for living in a way that you shouldn''t repeat." I tried to imagine a white creature that repeatedly destroys, but could only picture it overturning plates and writhing around in its skirts. "Well, can I call you White as a temporary name?¡¡It''s inconvenient if you don''t have a name to call me." "It''s a cheap name, but it''s all right." "Well, let''s go around to six places, or seven if you count the prayer room. "It seems more people only go to the prayer room, do they go all the way around to pray?" Perhaps due to the influence of the bulletin board, many players go directly to the prayer room without paying attention to the worship hall. "I have to say hello to this world. Maybe they even wrote down the order of prayer for us." I scratch behind White''s ears, where he seems to feel the best. The six-pillar hall of worship is divided into nine equal parts, with the north side at the top, followed by Asha, Val, and Dul, the middle side by Tasha, the courtyard, and Rusha, and the bottom side by the prayer hall, the hall, and Phal. The lower section consists of a prayer hall, a hall, and a falu worship hall. The rock wall beside the reliefs is carved differently from the others, exactly the size of the entrance to the prayer hall on the opposite side. The entrance to the prayer hall is in the hall, but the entrance to the worship hall is only on the side of the pathway that surrounds the courtyard. Probably, when the shrine office building was built, it was not possible to connect the prayer hall with the worship hall, and the prayer hall and the fal worship hall were replaced. The current location of the fal worship hall is at the corner facing the plaza and the main street. Praying lightly in the worship hall of Fal, I noticed that a shill is offered to the statue of the god of Fal. I smile a little when I see that there are other worshippers besides me, and that they are acting in a more Japanese way. Following the lead of the others, I place a shill on the pedestal. Oh, but don''t give money to the pond or trees, because it damages the nature. Now, if you want to go to the next place, Rusha, you probably have to go backwards. You can''t go backwards on the pilgrimage route. If you go around the current layout, you should go counterclockwise from the falu and finally to the prayer hall, but if you think about the old layout, you should go first to the falu and then clockwise. From the courtyard, go through the hall and the prayer hall to the Tasha''s shrine. After that, we pass in turn around to the right and greet the phal again. It''s not "go around" but "go around." We have to get back to where we were. And then the prayer room. Again a pale luminescent object. This time it is a woman, but she does not pretend. "I am Val, god of winds, of travelers and of freedom." A beautiful woman with supple silver hair that danced in the wind came to say her name. Is this the kind of voice that sounds like the tinkling of a bell? Your journey begins in this city. "with all the shards of power..." "In the midst of the comings and goings, the forces, the polarities..." "I have turned the power to the right." "The comings and goings, the false beginnings..." "It began to turn." "For whomsoever comes, in a year shall it be done." "I made the seasons go around right." "I give you the power to turn." "This is the power of two sides of the same coin." "The power to turn in two." After the echoed, recitative-like lines, Val held up his hand and disappeared. I have acquired the skills [Light Magic] and [Dark Magic]. I have obtained the title "The Power to Turn. I have obtained the title [Revealer of Mysteries]. We are pleased to announce that a player has solved the world''s riddle for the first time. This information is now available to the public. "You''ve been after this, you ......?" No, sir. It was just a strange obsession to come to the relief as it was written. I didn''t think of it as a mystery! I thought that the pieces of power corresponded to the six pillars somehow, and that the five initial magic spells would be the wind. If you prayed without all of them, you would fail and you could only choose one. The only other thing I noticed is that the order of the worship halls has been changed in one place. Well, usually, the order of the prayer halls are arranged in such a way that it is easy to get around, and once I noticed that the space between the prayer hall and the prayer hall in Falu was switched, I thought the rest was in the same order without thinking about it. If I had known that there was such a privilege, I would have done more research and thought about what attribute I had a high affinity with on my birthday on the bulletin board. There are mysteries all over the world, big and small. Solving the world''s riddles will bring you various rewards. Also, please note that you will lose the right to get the benefits of the <> when you hear the answers from other people. Those who have solved the < are requested not to tell the answer to the question. You can tell us where the riddles are and about the benefits you have received. From now on, the < will be added to the menu. Please read the notes and other information carefully. Whether you enjoy fighting or just taking it easy, there are opportunities to earn rewards for both. Please enjoy this alternate universe. Yeah, if the privilege is only for defeating the boss for the first time, the strength gap will widen more and more, so it would be nice if everyone or rather laid-back types have a chance. "I''m tired, let the white heal you." I am far from a healing being! Not listening to White''s argument, he heads for the shrine office, pretending to be a good boy. "Are you changing jobs?" "Yes." Please hold up your hand to this orb. Your current occupation will appear and you may select it. Please note that some professions will not appear on the list if they are not in the temple, but elsewhere. Swordsman (initial position) Fist fighter (initial position) Mage (initial and current) Mage (upper level mage position) Healer (initial position) Shifu (initial position) Spirit user (Mage, special) The current occupations are darkened so that you cannot choose one. I chose a swordsman as planned. The following new skills have been added to the list: Sword, Shield, Swordsmanship, Shield Technique, Provocation, Slash, Thrust, Thrusting, Strengthen Swordsmanship, Strengthen Arm Strength, and Strengthen Strength. "Didn''t you just get some magic from me?" "Yes, I got it." "Then why are you a swordsman?" "It''s a promise, and I''ve been trying to be a magic swordsman from the beginning." He talks but hurries to the carriage. "How can you get out? White suddenly shouts. In your ear, please stop. What? "My, my!" "You want me to be your son." White is astonished. "Maybe, but didn''t the seal lose its effect because you moved the statue of the god?" I haven''t had time to check if he actually moved it. The moment I descended the steps of the temple and stepped on the cobblestones of the plaza. For the third time today, a luminous body appeared. I''m in a hurry, so please give me a break! I''m in a hurry. I''m sorry! Don''t be in such a hurry. You''ll be out of the world time while you talk to us." I''m back with Val, who I just met. I see we had a normal conversation. White is a bit grumpy, come to think of it, he didn''t talk in the hall of worship or while Val was showing up. "The beast you hold in your arms is the beast sealed in this temple. But though the seal is loosened by the statue, it is true that you may be weak enough to get out, or you may have changed your mind, so I will allow you to take him with you. But in exchange, I will take my household that you have with you, and I will need someone to take over the role I have given it. Val tilts his head lightly and narrows his eyes, I guess he means choose. "If that''s what you want." "Wait, if there are no more contracted spirits, they won''t come to us. "Yes, normally, spirits would be attracted to each other and new spirits would be obtained with each level up, but we will have to search for them on our own. But even a beast can smell the presence of a spirit, so there''s no chance at all. "Yeah, if that''s the way White can take him, so be it." We have magic, so let''s pretend there was no spiritism. "Ho, beast, follow your human! The human is your new chain. Val blows a puff of air at White, and something seems to have been achieved. Either White has been freed from the seal of the temple, or he has been newly bound to me. There is no time for his opinion. "It is rare to see me twice, O man. I give you my blessing in return for taking the spirit from you." I have obtained the title [Val''s Blessing]. [Wind Magic] changed to [Wind Magic]. "If you are in a good mood, the other gods will give you their blessings." Val disappears. The sounds of the square, which had been quiet a moment ago, return. I run to the wagon with white in my arms. The carriage rumbles, and White remains silent. He''s curled up on his knees, so I don''t think it''s beyond repair, but I guess I shouldn''t have decided on his treatment without asking the beast''s opinion. "White, you want to go back to the temple?¡¡You know, I could accompany you only if you want to go out, or something?" He glanced at me with half-lidded eyes and sighed. I received a partner card from White. I have acquired the skills [Summoning] and [Telepathy]. Summoner" has been added to the "Occupations. "Hmm?" "Yes." < A man talking to himself, stroking the top of his thigh the whole time, imagining a situation where there is no white. Gghh! Looking inside the carriage, several people averted their eyes. < < White gets up and looks at me sharply. < It''s too late to be weird, and he pats White on the back. > With that declaration, White disappeared. Now, let''s check things out. When you open the menu, you will see that the number of partner cards has been increased to Player, Resident, and Summoner, and just below them is the Blessing of the Spirit. When the summons is opened, only White is listed, and Patoka shows the name "White" and a countdown of the time until the summoner can be summoned again. The status of the summoner was hidden and could not be seen. The blessing of the spirit seemed to be empty, but "Winn," the spirit of wind, was listed in gray letters, and it was labeled "Fugitive. I wonder if it is treated as an escape. ...... Next, check the skills. The skills that have been acquired can be appraised by [Skill Appraisal], but those that have not yet been acquired cannot be appraised due to their low level, even if they are on the skill list. Summoning Summon a summoner you have contracted with. While invoking a summoner, M! is continuously consumed during the invocation. The way to make a contract is to ask for its true name or to name it if it is newborn. In this case, you can summon the summoner, but you cannot give it any orders. If you raise their likeness while you are with them, they will tell you their true name and you can make a contract with them. If the likability is lowered, he/she will leave. Even after a contract is made, if the likability level drops too low, the person may flee. The time to summon a person is fixed, and when the time expires, the person will return. It takes time until you can summon them again. If you are a summoner, you can summon up to five summons at the same time. The number of summons is counted as the number of party members. If you are not a summoner, you can summon up to three summons, but you can command only one summoner to use a skill. If you are a summoner, the summoned summoner has an effect to increase its ability. If you are a summoner, it is easier to make a contract. The above is what was written. I guess it means that I should increase the sensitivity of white. ...... [Spiritism The blessing is given to a spirit to invoke it and use its magic. The invocation requires M! and may require a catalyst. The spirit returns as soon as the action is completed. Blessing is usually obtained by raising the likeness of the spirit. Blessing is usually obtained by raising the likeness of the spirit. If you raise the liking of a spirit while you are with it, it will give you its blessing. If the liking is lowered, the spirit will leave. Even after receiving a blessing, if the likability level is too low, he may run away. It takes time to re-summon. It takes time until you can summon them again. If you are a genie, you can use all abilities of genie. If your occupation is not a genie, some abilities are not available. If the player is a spirit user, the ability of the invoked spirit is increased. If you are a spirit user, you can receive blessings more easily. If you have high favoritism, a spirit may give you a gift. I ran out of energy when I checked the effect of the title of solving the riddle, thinking that summoning and spiritism have something in common. I knew very well not to read with a vehicle, but I wanted to check ...... The "power of rotation" is a reward for solving the riddle of the temple, and it increases the power of the last technique or magic that returns to the "first attribute used" if you use the attributes in order, or use them in order with a wind in between, regardless of the starting point. This is a title given to the first person who solves the riddle as well as the first defeat of a boss. The "Revealer of Mysteries" is the same as Galahad''s partner card (Patoka), and is the result of an action that leads to the disclosure of information. The effect of the "Solver of Mysteries" title is to "make it easier to encounter mysteries. It is said that it gives you some idea of where the riddles are located?¡¡I don''t know. Oh, after recovering from the coach sickness, I need to get the Swordsman''s skill. ......S!

Natural Recovery], [Night Vision], [Map], [Telepathy 15 - The Swordman in Training I arrived at the rendezvous point, and I''m sure I kept you waiting, if not for any length of time, while you were meeting Val. "Sorry to keep you waiting." No, Leo''s not here yet. Leo says he''s lost. I''ll just buy some armor. I asked Kikuhime about it and bought 7,000 shill armor. I wanted to buy some cool kote (small arms), but I couldn''t resist for now. While I was waiting, I learned swordsmanship for 1s! I got [Kenjutsu] for 1s! I''ll see what else I can do after the battle. I also checked the new < in the menu, and found a brief explanation of the riddle I solved, which was "Blessing of the Gods, Val". Dangerous, I was about to mention the blessing!¡¡No, I was allowed to mention the perks I received and the mysterious location. But I don''t think we can meet the second time in the same way. Are there many ways to meet?¡¡It''s possible. I checked the notes and found that there were quite a few things written down, such as how to solve the riddles at the party and the detailed notes that were played in the world announcements. I wonder if the search for God is a mystery ...... or if mysterious and mystery are the same ...... So, what is the effect of [Val''s Blessing]? "Compatibility with the wind attribute U!" and "agility correction". Wind magic is now wind magic, does that mean it''s been enhanced by the blessing? After a while, Leo came back. He told me that he had arrived here too early and that there were only a few stores open, so he had to wait for a while before he could do his shopping. Leo finished his shopping early and had free time to fish in the irrigation canal. I showed him the function of the map. I explained to him that I had sent him an e-mail yesterday, but he had not checked the box. "Well, we are close to the east gate, should we go from the east?" "Let''s do that. I agree to Ochazuke''s suggestion. I don''t want to take the carriage. "Oh." We lend each other our weapons and begin to move. Me - Swordsman (sword and shield borrowed from Kikuhime) Ochazuke -> fist fighter (gloves borrowed from Shin) Kikuhime -> Thief (dagger borrowed from Leo) Shin -> Mage (short staff borrowed from Peter) Peter -> Mage (my long staff) Leo -> Healer (short staff borrowed from Ochazuke) It looks like this. Shin tried holding a long cane and found it hard to handle, so he ended up borrowing a short cane that Peter had bought. "By the way, I got at the temple. "Blessed?" "Well, it''s wind affinity U! and agility. "Heh, how do you do that?" "I can''t talk about it because it''s a mystery, but it seems it''s possible to get it from other gods as well." "Oh, world announcer, it''s you again!" "Yes." "Wow!" I want agility! "Where are you going to find these events?" Hey, I don''t think the announcement came from here. "And in another mystery, I got both light and dark in the temple." Are you serious? I''m serious. "The behavior is too oblique in a short period of time." "Oh, man, I gotta go solve a riddle to get a star." And then... "There''s more?" Before I could speak, he gave me a half-smile. "I can tell you this one is not a mystery, but if you talk to the giant tree in the temple courtyard with wind magic in your hand, you will receive a spirit spell." "Wait, what''s wind magic?" "I got the five basic ones and used them. The ones I used on the bats. I got a lot of magic, but I''m sure there are a lot of other jobs too. Shin''s fighters also have a technique attribute, don''t they?¡¡It might be a good idea to have all kinds of tigers and dragons and stuff, you know?" It''s not like it''s a mystery clue, so this is about as good as it gets, right?¡¡I''m nervous for nothing. "Oh, I have six lines of techniques, too, and Heaven is the wind." Shin seems to have taken more techniques at the beginning of his career than he did in his physical training. He says that the reaction was a lack of skill or something, but it was only a three-round combo. "Well, why don''t you go to the courtyard?" "Oh, yeah!" I have a feeling that Ochazuke is looking at the bulletin board. The bulletin board is useful, but I wonder if the mystery of the temple would have been solved earlier if it was not written on the bulletin board that praying in the temple does not change the situation. "I looked at the mage thread for a while, and it seems that there are some who have the wind attribute and some who don''t. I''m not sure if they have the wind attribute or not, but I''m not sure. He said that there must be some other conditions in addition to mastering the basic attributes. Do you have any idea?" "Hmm?" Are there any other conditions? I had not noticed it at all, but it was later clarified that the condition is to look at the sky for a certain period of time and feel the wind. Come to think of it, the tablet also says, "The sky rotates with the flow of the wind. I heard that the same method was used to increase the number of techniques of fighters. Shin didn''t know how he got it, but I guess mages have the same pattern as fists, not healers. "Noooooo!" After fighting fast-brimmed flying rabbits and rampaging chickens, they have come to the marsh. The enemy is a bug!¡¡It''s huge!¡¡Mosquitoes! "I know how Princess Chrysanthemum feels, I hate the close-ups too much." E!? I''m breathing on my shoulder even though the number of visitors hasn''t decreased much. "Thanks to you, there are fewer people here, so you can make all the money you want, right?" You knew that, didn''t you? "Oh, no, I''m a healer, H! I was going to be a swordsman, but I think I''m going to be a monk. I don''t want to be a shield here. We went down the same road yesterday, didn''t we!¡¡I''ll do my best! I decided to be a healer because I didn''t want to touch the spiders up ahead! Mosquitoes call out to their friends. Imagine being attracted by five mosquitoes bigger than your face. I''ll cry! There were spiders and slime in the back, just like Leo said. The slime was not as bad as the one in the river at night, but it was still hard to hit with physical attacks, and Peter and Shin tended to be targeted. I used magic on them, but I was able to do more damage than them. I had a negative magic compensation with my sword, not to mention weapon compensation, but I was almost an INT wielding mage, so I still couldn''t lose! I was on a roll and got my fire magic to 5. I learned , a spell to add fire attribute to weapons and armor. As an aspiring mage, it''s a must-have magic. "I think it''s time for a lunch break..." "Oh!¡¡Let''s move to a bigger place." In the marshy area, there were muddy and submerged areas, and hard areas with footholds, and I had to lead my enemies to those areas to fight because they were not able to move except in the areas with footholds. It was simply uncomfortable to go inside. We found a dry ground large enough for everyone to sit down and had lunch. I serve a rabbit steak with a rating of 5!¡¡I''ll make you some tea. I served it to everyone and they loved it. Especially Shin, who is a meat skier. "Sell me a steak." I''m sorry, it cost me a lot of money to make them and I sold them all off. I don''t have enough to sell now. If you get me the meat, I''ll make it for 30 shillings for the other ingredients. "Oh!¡¡I''ll hunt it down later." Then the trade screen came up and Leo gave me a fish. "Burn it to level up!" "Thank you, I''ll roast it for you. I remember the Yolmas that Leo gave me. I didn''t get a rating on it, but you want to try it?¡¡And maybe this fish is rare." Although I didn''t get a 5, it''s still a little higher than normal. "Ha-ha-ha, I failed. But I''ll eat it. I remember you gave me a title when I caught it. "Oh, what kind?" I guess [The one who caught the phantom fish] will make it easier to catch a higher rank, and [The fish that heralds the night] will give you a night fishing bonus. "You got two of them?" "Isn''t that one of the world announcement titles?" Leo was a Leo, is that the punchline? "Huh?" "You know, the one you caught when you were a slime?¡¡I don''t think we got an announcement." "Bugs are here." "Morning Correction Announcement!" "I heard that the person who put it out didn''t get it." "I can''t believe you caught your first fish as a nusi." "Real luck as always!" "About half of the world announcers are people I know." After the meal, there seems to be ore in the water, so the miners take off their shoes and go into the marsh. At first they were uncomfortable, but when they opened up, they said it was a habitual feeling, like rice paddies. ....... I am grilling a fish as I watch it, a skewer because I have nothing but salt. The fish seems to have a higher quality of ingredients than rabbit, and the rating is from 5 to 7, with 6 being the most common. "Oh," "What is it?" The others are not ready yet, but the beer is ready. "Beer is ready, anyone want some?¡¡I haven''t checked, so I don''t know what to make of it." I''ll have a drink. "Give it to me!" "I''ll have a drink, but does that mean you can make it?" The only three people in this group who can drink alcohol are Kikuhime, Shin, and Peter. The others can only lick it. "It was in my specialties." "If you can''t drink, why?" "Don''t ask, there are many things." "I want you to make sake! "What are the ingredients?¡¡Rice and koji?¡¡I''ve never seen it before." Let''s find out. Kikuhime and Peter''s eyes are different colors, they are serious. I served them beer and they learned "time promotion. The rating was 5. The beer was better than the one from the street vendor, but I guess the street vendor''s beer tastes like a normal 4. I''m going to try to make wine with the grapes I have and use the "time accelerator". Cooking in general was rated E! consumption, but the use of skills is M! consumption. And of course, time promotion is also M! I was in a hurry to see if I could recover during the break, but then I remembered that I am a swordsman now. After the break, I wanted to continue to fight with slimes, but it seems that spiders produce sewing materials, so at Kikuhime''s request, I shifted to a series of battles with spiders. I don''t like it, but I can''t refuse Kikuhime''s request, since she''s been my shield up to now, so I''ll consider it better than mosquitoes. Besides, if I use magic against slimes, my swordsmanship won''t improve. I had all the equipment and skills I needed and I was level 16 by the evening. I had a lot of H! I thought it would go a little further. "If you just want to level up, the gray wolf is good, it calls for friends." Resting again. Leo has been fishing for crayfish in the marsh. "What do you get out here at night?" "I don''t know?" "I left before nightfall last night." "Gee, there''s no bait!" Our enemies at night were alligators and a different kind of frog from the south. Compared to insects, this is no problem at all!¡¡Aside from the frogs, the crocodile''s face is a tailbashin while it''s tagging me, and it''s ruining both of us at once, but that''s not a problem in my opinion!¡¡I''ve got the taggies locked in place! The tail does not have as much damage as the bite, and Ochazuke participates in the recovery, so the hunt is going well. The timing of the [Shitei] seems to be very strict, and Kikuhime seems to be having a hard time. Unlike Peter, there is no damage indicator, so it is more likely that the skill did not hit him. She seems to be having a hard time. Come to think of it, I''ve only been to the edge of the forest at night where bats are. Maybe there are a lot of black wolves. I just hit the crocodiles head-on once every few times with my skills in between, without worrying about avoiding or crushing each other''s attacks. If there are a lot of them like mosquitoes, you''ll be busy, but if there''s only one and it''s a H! s are taken care of by Leo, so it''s easy. I can guess that he will be busy when he takes a move like Kikuhime or takes a move to stop the enemy''s skill or action. Now I have time to think, but it''s hard to be a shield in my profession. And after all, I''m going to have to learn [Swordsmanship] and [Slash] at level 11, [Strengthen Swordsmanship] at level 12, and then [H! Natural Recovery], [Body Art], [Strengthening Arm Strength], and [Strengthening Agility]. Unlike magic, swordsmanship is not divided by attribute, so I am surprised at how much swordsmanship has grown. But if you consider all the attributes together, it seems that magic grows more easily. Swordsmanship] has a correction to attack power when equipped with a blade, but the most important thing is that it has a correction to movement. Even if you are not athletically inclined, you will be able to instantly judge how to move your arms and legs. As the level of swordsmanship increases, so does the exhilaration. Kikuhime told me that [Shijutsu] makes you feel as if you were an unshakable mountain, unaffected by anything. I''ve never felt that way with [magic], but I wonder if the magic will become more flashy and exhilarating as the level of magic increases. And [H!? Natural Recovery] is 3S when I was a mage. I was a mage and it cost me 3s! I took it because I was a mage and it cost 3s! I think that taking [Enhanced Agility] as a Thief is the best way to get it. I took it because I didn''t plan to change my job. I think I took it too much on Ochazuke''s advice to take the ones that strengthen status early. I''m a bad shield who has not taken any provocative skills at all. Thank goodness for the party of friends who allow me to do so. I reject the bug''s trickery, though! I turned 18 and went back to the city. "Can''t we all change jobs by now? I''m over 20, aren''t I?" "I''m level, but I''d like to raise my INT a little more." "I''ll raise my INT as well." "I''m going to stay with you until Homura gets to 20!" "I''d like to stretch my strength and arm strength a bit here, too, so I''m going to stay here until Homura gets to 20. I don''t want to go to the temple. I''d like to go a little faster." We ate a leisurely meal at a restaurant, and on the way back to the inn, we reported to the guild and sold out. Selling spider silk to Kikuhime. All that''s left is to take a bath and go to bed. "Speaking of which, Leo. Why don''t you get cooking?" "To cook fish?" "No, recipe 5 says bait. If we take it, we can make fishing bait locally.¡¡Maybe one day they''ll come up with bait that you can''t buy at the store." "Well, how do you learn to do that?" "It costs money, but it seems to be easier to rent cooking equipment from a production material shop and actually cook a dish once and then serve it in battle. "I''m not a very good cook, is that OK?" "You''ve been a sifu and your dexterity is probably high, so I think you''ll be fine." "Leo''s Cooking: ......" Kikuhime is looking at me with a faraway look in her eyes. ...... Come to think of it, when I went to Leo''s house for a sleepover, we ate out all the time. Is it that bad? "You don''t take Peter?" "Hmm, I could learn to make sake with it." Sake first! There''s no information about rice on the board yet. I''ll help you look for it. We decided to take a logout break and continue on since tomorrow is Sunday. ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ More... Level +8 Skills [Swordsmanship] [Slash H!?

"It must be morning since I went to bed and woke up." Good morning." I''m fine with the progress of the game, but I still feel like I''m out of shape after only three hours of sleep. At the inn, we discuss whether or not to renew our equipment while eating breakfast, which is not only early, but may even be a late-night meal. Since there were only two more levels to go, we decided to go on as we were. Today we had bread with nuts, grilled tomatoes, mashed potatoes, thick slices of bacon, salad, orange and milk. I can cook these kinds of dishes, and if they are rated 4 or higher, they should be better than this. But the food prepared by the inn looks 30% better! And now we are fighting a field boss. A bright red, four-tusked boar that looks to be over three meters tall, the King of Chototzu. I was hunting at night in the place of the black wolf in the forest when I had an unexpected encounter. This boss patrolled the entire field in the town of Fast. I should have worn a new shield but not the rest of my gear! "It comes with an inn bonus, so go for it." Oatmeal heals you, telling you to feed on greed and endure. Leo''s healing is still low and I''m soft, so Ochazuke is forced to heal too, and sometimes there is a total attack. I was taking all the reinforcement skills ignoring the unique skills of a swordsman, sorry. I missed you in your profession!" Shin, who is a convicted felon who hit me with a < right after the war started, whines like a pillow word of a spell and releases a magic spell. Since he has only improved his fire magic, Shin, whose level is higher than mine as far as fire is concerned, is the current damage dealer. But he''s not as good as Slime, but he''s resistant to fire! Peter has a variety of uses, but his power is low because he has been raised to a high level. Shifu has many skills that increase damage when he hits from behind or auxiliary skills, and Kikuhime has not taken anything that compensates for attacks from behind because he is planning to return to a position where he receives attacks from the front. That''s right, she does not have enough firepower!¡¡And yet, Ochazuke cannot join in the attack, and even if he did, he would have to recover before connecting the combo. The king of chototsu swings both paws and slams the ground with a powerful, all-out stamp. "Oh, I need a full recovery! Leo is doing his best to distribute recovery. Two attacks on the whole body will make the former swordsman H! and VIT are high, so Leo keeps on casting recovery magic and Ochazuke heals me from other attacks. M!? I feel like I''m going to be stuck if I run out of recovery medicine. "I want more recovery at least!" One application does not make it full, so you have to work hard with your hands. Instead, it is a M! Consumption seems to be low. "<>! The recovery effect depends on the MID, which is tough on ex-thiefs." "Recovery - this, even if the same monk will be very different depending on whether he starts out as a healer or a fist fighter, even if he has a lot of stats." "I''m still a H!? I still have more M! I''m still getting a lot more M! I''m so glad you''re here! He was talking and passing the fangs of the king of Chototzu. "That''s enough £¡£¡£¡£¡." The Chrysanthemum Princess gave a critical hit in anger, and the King of Chototsu finally sank. We now have four pieces of the King of Chototsu''s flesh. I''ve got the King of Chotzu''s fangs x2. I got the skin of the King of Chotzu x4. I got the magic stone of the King of Chotzu. I got the ring of power. "It''s over!" "I''m going back to being a fist fighter~~!" The ring of magic... I was the ring of power. You drop your gear, I''ll take the spirit ring! "We are the rings of agility." I have a ring of power too. The boss said he''s going to drop his equipment." I''m an intellectual, too. "It looks like they have the stats for that job." There was some discussion about exchanging rings, but I decided to keep it as a souvenir of defeating the first boss, as it would be a good way to compensate for my low stats. I was curious, so I asked Kikuhime about her current H! She answered that her stats were 817 with the same STR and VIT. Still, she said that it was not too much because of her race, Elf. She said that her H! was not more than 700 when she was level 20. "A temple..." he said. "Let''s move!" With the sun rising and the morning sun shining, we returned to the city. It is customary to go to the guild to pack up and go to the guild. Since there were a lot of black wolves in the forest at night, the forest seemed to be the most efficient place to gain experience up to about the 20th level. I cleared the request report, which I thought was far from 1000 times, and my rank was raised to D. "I''m going to sleep after changing jobs...sleepy..." "Oh!" When I reached level 5 in swordsmanship, I saw "Magical Swordsman" as a profession, so I chose it without hesitation and became a Magical Swordsman when I fulfilled the requirement of level 20. After level 20, you can change your occupation every 5 levels, but the points for acquiring combat skills are uniformly 5S! The points for acquiring combat skills are the same for all but the first two jobs or one line of work. If you have been a healer before level 20, you only need S1 to get [poison healing], but if you become a healer after level 20, it takes S5 to get it. If a stronger skill comes out soon, it may take S! 20 or so, but for now it takes S! 5. But for now, it is 5 S! I -> Magical Swordsman Ochazuke -> Seihoji Chrysanthemum Princess ¡ú Warrior Shin¡úMagic Fist Peter ¡ú secret agent Leo - secret agent I thought Ochazuke was going to be a monk, but he says that he only plays fist fighter sometimes for fun, and will mainly be a healer. I thought he would be a monk, but he says he will be mainly a healer. He is hoping that there will be a recovery skill like chakra in the fist fighter skill. The priest is a job that uses healing magic and has little to do with temples. Peter is a secret agent, and if there is a ninja, he is probably in that field. Leo because he is fast. Because you can be a ninja. If ninja is his profession, he will probably end up becoming a ninja as he originally hoped since he seems to be the fastest. I guess we both forgot our original choice of profession in a different way... "Hmmm...maybe I''ll take up the skill of a fist fighter too..." "If you''re a ninja, it might be cool if you can do some bodybuilding too." I reply to Peter''s troubled voice. "We''re going to be seriously short of skill points from now on! "Oh, I think I''ll take magic too." "The oatmeal is pretty meandering, too." "This game seems to have a policy of offering a variety of jobs. "The progress is not as important as the status and the first job. Even if you have the same job, you will have different characteristics. "Well, I think I''ll take something too." I was swayed by the words of Ochazuke and Peter. "Specialization is good, but it''s more fun to be able to do various things. "Specialization may be strong, but soloing seems hard." "It''s hard to level up the skills of a composite." "Well, I''m off to the inn!" "We too..." "Oh! Good work. I''m going to go to the courtyard to solve the riddle of the temple, and then I''m going to bed. Good night." "Well, I''m tired of fighting, so I''m going to go and do some production work. While he says he''s taking it easy, he''s always producing with a focus on efficiency. I''m going to look for a guild of thieves. "Have a good day. Now what do I do?¡¡Speaking of searching, we need to find the old man in the street. In the alley near the east gate, I think. There were no such stores in the industrial area, so if there were, it would be south of the East-West Boulevard. Leaving Shin at the temple, I left Ochazuke and Peter and walked along the East-West Street. I will not take a carriage! When I looked at the menu to call for white, I saw that cheese, smoked eggs, and two dry foods were ready, so I took them out and prepared the next one. I remembered [smoked] and [dried], and I wondered if [brewing] might be a part of fermentation. I''ll introduce White when things have settled down a bit, I''m afraid I''ll be sent back to the temple if I make too much noise. "White, why are you in fighting stance?" You didn''t like it that much? Why aren''t you in the middle of a battle? When White looked around and assessed the situation, he released his fighting stance. << I hold out my hand and it runs down my arm and onto my shoulder. I feel almost no weight, and I can float. > White complains bitterly. . M!? The number of M! When I reach my destination, I find a small park behind a building on the main street and take a rest on a bench. I serve myself and White tea and drink it. It is really easy not to have to think about what to do after eating or drinking. I am watching White with his face in the cup, and I am wondering what I should do to make M! I think to myself, "I have to make a potion. The time to call up in town is longer than in the battle, but the M! The time to call is longer if you are in town than in battle, but the M! It is better to get it cheaply. And if we can make wine, let''s see if we can make brandy for tea. > He pats White lightly as he looks up from his cup. < It looks like he is going to help me find a used bookstore. After confirming that White had finished his drink, he stood up and came up to his shoulder again, running his hand down to his shoulder. The tail on his right chest, the head on his left shoulder, and the collar that was so comfortable to touch. We walk around talking about the design of the wooden and iron signs hanging from the white and houses. To me, they are old townscapes and billboards from Europe, but in this world, they are ordinary townscapes and billboards. I wonder if it is like talking about the sign design of a convenience store, in which case, it is certainly subtle. I go into an alley that is not shown on the map and map it in detail. The majority of the houses here seem to be residences, with the occasional cloth and thread store, tobacconist, non-potion medicine shop, shovel and spade store, flower shears store, general stores, and other stores where the residents do their normal daily needs. The width of the stores and dwellings is probably less than one-fifth of the width of the stores in the square. As is typical of the houses within the city walls, they are narrow and crowded together, extending upward. < Come to think of it, I haven''t even bought a nightgown yet. I found a nice looking brush in front of the general store and asked White what he liked. So I randomly chose one that looked good to me and bought it. I also bought a yukata-like garment made of soft white cloth as pajamas and a few hand towels as handkerchiefs. As soon as white disappears, you feel lonely around the neck. I wonder if Shin has solved the riddle. If he knew there was a riddle, he would easily realize that the order in which we go around the hall in the scripture in the hall was a riddle. And what about after that? After a while, I found a used bookstore, which may or may not be open. It was a small store, only three times as wide as the door, with no sign. The door was open, perhaps for ventilation, and I noticed it when I peeked inside. "I''m interrupting." I called out and went inside. There was nothing on the shelves that seemed to be for display as soon as I entered, but from about one meter from the entrance, there were bookshelves on both sides and in the center that reached the ceiling, and they were packed with books. It was very strange that I could understand the titles of the books on the shelves even though I could not read the words. If I say out loud the titles I understand in Japanese, the inhabitants must hear them in their own language. Well, in this fantasy world, it would certainly be subtle if it said "Recommendations for Farming" in Japanese. You''re here? "Yes." At the counter in the back, an old man I''d met at a stall was smoking a pipe with a book in his hand. "May I browse the books here?" "No problem, if it gets dirty I''ll have to buy it back." "Okay." Well, let''s see what we have here. "......, we have a lot of books on both magic and skills." "Yeah, there were a lot of them." When I offer him the book I want to buy, he takes it with an unconvinced look on his face and turns it over to check the price. "Two hundred shillings." After paying, he receives a copy of . There are some things, like berries, that cannot be distinguished as a point of collection, something to be learned. After the purchase, the number of edible fruits and wildflowers that have never been identified in the Plant Food Book has been increased. The new items in the book can be "recalled" from your own knowledge without looking at them. This is a very useful feature. And if the new items are added by buying books, it would be a good idea to collect the setting materials called history books and magic books when you have enough money. It would make the appraisal more detailed. It would have been nice to have a map, but it is not treated in the same way as a book, and I have only seen obscure small illustrations in the book. Nevertheless, I found out that my country is a country named Gears, that it has a capital facing the sea, that it raises its national profit by trading with dwarves on another continent, that blacksmithing is flourishing in this country, that there is a magical city state of Isle and a labyrinth city of Baron on this continent, and that I am in a country of human race. I would like to collect books on these countries. From my browsing, I have learned the attributes of the gods and the moon. As I had chosen April as my birth month, it seems that I am compatible with the attribute of water. I want a lot of things, but first I have to get the right equipment. I stayed here for quite a long time, but nothing stopped me, so I''ll come back to browse again. Even if there are no more items on the menu, you can learn them on your own. Magic books are expensive, but there are some inexpensive books that I want, so I''ll keep coming back. I greeted the old man and left, but after the transaction, he had already started reading a book while playing the pipe and did not even look at me. ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ...increase...

I fell back to sleep. < It seems that everyone except Kikuhime and Shin are already in the room. Just then Peter wakes up next to her. They seem to have logged in at about the same time. "Good morning. "Good morning, did you get some pajamas?" "Yeah, I don''t want to sleep in my outfits or underwear forever, even if they don''t get dirty." Underwear might be possible if no one is around. Actually, Shin doesn''t mind sleeping in his underwear, naked man. "I''ll buy one, too, if it''s a kimono." "Because I''m a ninja?" "Because I''m a ninja." "Why don''t you ask Princess Kikuhime?" I''ll do that." We talk while washing our faces and eating. "Oh, I got a text from Ochazuke asking me to go somewhere when Shin and the two of them come over." I got one too. How''s the cat? "He was too energetic, so I locked him out of his room. He''s been visiting his parents lately. I was looking for the Thieves'' Guild and I found the Assassins'' Guild. That''s a mess, man. "I can''t tell you where it is, though, because they said if I told anyone, they''d have their assassin''s license revoked and they''d have to switch locations." You will be, won''t you?¡¡Assassin. "Well, I found a used bookstore in the street and I want to tell you where it is, but I''m not sure if it''s safe to tell you." "It''s called the mysteries of the world, don''t let people tell you what to do!¡¡Solve it on your own!¡¡That''s the direction I''m headed." "I think it''s safer not to teach. I''m sure we''ll find out soon enough. "I don''t know, if the quest is a mystery, it would fall under . I mean, I talked to Ochazuke and the others yesterday before the announcement about the conditions for being a friend of the residents, so I think it''s already branched off into a general quest, not a mystery." Quests that are treated as mysteries of the world are not reflected in the list of quests until they are completed, and are listed in the list of mysteries after completion. If you complete a quest knowing the answer before solving the riddle yourself, it will be listed in the quest list instead of the riddle. It is said to be safe as long as you do not say anything definitive, but I think that the location information of the person you are looking for is in the wrong category. However, if you have a mysterious flag in your party, you can talk about anything with your party members. Peter is saying that he and I fall into this category. Unfortunately, other people who are in the party but have not been flagged are excluded. I don''t know if this is a mysterious flag or just a prelude to a general quest. So let me tell you..." "Yeah. Oh, the residents gave me a patrol car, I have to go collect the flags." The little girl. No, it''s not. Don''t pull that! "I also need to buy grapes at the stall and equipment at the craftsmen''s quarter. So we took a group of people and came to the stall area, where there was no second-hand bookstore stall but a spice seller. "Excuse me, don''t you sell used books here? "Ah, the old used bookstore guy changes every ten days or so. I can''t take time off, and if I don''t keep the store open, I might have to move to an unpopular location when I decide where to open my next store. I see, so that''s why they were unwilling to do it. And the mysterious sundries they had with them were tools for mixing and crushing spices. We leave the stall area after talking about how we can''t ask our competitors to take our place in the market even if we are good friends. "I''ll come back to buy some food, but I''ll be patient." "I was there the first night, so if you do the math, it looks like I''ll be there every day. If it happens to be a weekday afternoon, it will be a long day. He says he is going to the artisan''s quarter, too, and is about to leave for the plaza when Peter stops him and walks with him, saying he will teach him about the secondhand bookstore. I won''t let him get on the wagon! Oops, it''s closed. "Maybe it''s because I''m here. Maybe you have to collect the flag to get in." "I see." This used bookstore has a very tight guard. "Oh, can I stop by the apothecary''s guild?¡¡I want to buy some recipes and stuff." I went to the artisan district via the apothecary guild located in front of the east gate, wondering if I had broken the flag without going on the quest or not. I wonder what the sword is like. "It seems that not only strength but also dexterity or speed are added, although which is still under verification. "Swords and axes have power, throwing has dexterity, staffs have magic or spirit, bows have dexterity and power, and thrusting swords have speed and power, or so I understand now." I guessed that the spear would have power and dexterity and the sword would have power and speed. There is a suspicion that the materials used are different, so the results are inconclusive. I think that the aptitude of a swordsman is usually determined by his occupation, but a swordsman who is not mainly a shield fencer has a wide range of weapons. But it seems to me that there''s something about how easy you are to use, so I guess you should try out various cheap weapons and get the skills for the ones you find easy to use. I''m not sure if this is a good time to introduce White to you, but I''m sure you''ll be able to find a party. "The cheapest one-handed swords start at 1,000, so it''s quite expensive to try everything except the initial one-handed swords. Why do they even sell hand spears? No, no, first of all, just because it''s a party doesn''t mean that white is visible, and white might not like it. "Even if you sell it off, it will be less than half the price, and if you only go to the store in the square, there are still only orthodox ones." I''ll check with White later. I''ll just buy a sword type one, just to see what he likes. If it doesn''t suit me, I''ll try a big sword. While choosing a weapon, I think about something completely different and come to a conclusion on both sides. I will not ask Luba to strike until I have at least decided on a direction and have some money to spend. He picks up a mass-produced weapon of average price and performance. "What will Peter do with his main weapon?¡¡I''m under the impression that you''re going to buy a few dark weapons." "Maybe a dagger for now. I''d like to make a small dagger or a ninja sword, but I don''t think there is a Japanese sword type of the same sword. The sword I have is a thin, single-edged, warped but fantasy-looking weapon. "I''m sure the whole country will be discovered or implemented along with rice, Japan. "When a new city was discovered, the world announcement said that trading would begin in the city or country where it was discovered." "Well, until you find one, why don''t you use your existing sword and paint the blade black to make it look like a sword?" "Oh. I''ll do that." Peter can''t handle two-handed weapons well because of his occupation, which seems to give him a negative compensation, and I had a problem with swords when I was a mage. You are free to choose your weapon of choice, but each profession has its own rank, and you must choose the weapon that suits you best. Not only the profession, but also the weapon and the material used for the weapon, which is compatible with the skill. It''s hard to face the boy with the cane. I''ll have to go with the long staff and the sword. Suddenly the face of the boy in the workshop comes to mind, and I wonder again about my main weapon. I sell the robe and the plate I was wearing in time and buy a coat at the same store as Peter. He can wear light armor, but it feels uncomfortable to wear it because of the robe he had on first, so he decides to wear the coat and the small hands and metal-reinforced boots. Of course the plate has a higher physical defense, but the coat has a higher magic defense instead and does not interfere with evasion. By the time I had finished shopping, the sun had set and a yellow moon was peeking out, following the white moon that had been in the sky during the day. Many workshops had already closed their shops, and the alley was a little deserted. Ochazuke called me and said that Shin and Kikuhime had not arrived yet, but that we should meet at a restaurant. It''s time for the horse-drawn carriages, and I''ve already come out that I don''t like horse-drawn carriages. "Oh!¡¡"Kita-kita." Good evening. I answer Leo''s wave and take a seat. I ask the waiter for a pot-au-feu-like dish and a ginger ale-like non-sweet soda, and Peter gets a sausage platter and a beer. I wonder if iced tea is available in this city. I''m fine with something warm if I''m just going to drink it. ...... "Oh, kanpai~!" Clink glasses and make a toast, Japanese style. Leo does this every time, so the first drink is always by the glass. I don''t know why Leo likes to make toasts if he can''t drink either. "Shin and Kikuhime haven''t come yet, but let''s make a plan. Let''s go to the boss and go to the next town, shall we?" "Oh, I thought you had to be D-ranked to be allowed to go to any other town but this one." "Yes, if you register for a transfer stone, you can move around the city quickly for a fee." When someone defeats the boss, the city is released and people can come and go, but they must travel on foot or by carriage. The bosses can be transferred in an instant by registering the transfer stone dropped by the boss at the gate of transfer in the temple, so that other players who follow the person who liberated the city will eventually defeat the boss. "Now, the one who has been found is the western secant, right?" "The world announcement just came for Sir East, too." "Well, it seems like they found it in order by the name." "I heard there''s a capital, Faina, in the north." He showed his knowledge that he had acquired by browsing. "Oh, yeah?" "There''s no way to get north from this city, so I guess we''ll have to go through some other city." "Let''s go straight north~!" Leo begins to talk nonsense. "No, no, I have a feeling we''ll end up lost. Yes, the distances between towns are usually long in this world, and you are bound to get lost if you go down a road without a path. I would like to explore the roadless areas after at least knowing the direction of the town on the map. By the way, it took me two and a half days to get to the neighboring Secant. "What!¡¡I want to take the beast road on the roadless road~" "Well, unlike the real world, it''s easier to carry food around, so I wouldn''t mind going." "If the enemy is too strong and we can''t make it, we can go right back." Peter agrees and the oatmeal is poured. "I''m off tomorrow, so that''s fine, but if I''m not, I''m going to have to fall in the field for real, and if Shin and Kikuhime are okay with that..." Come to think of it, I used to like ruins in real life too, Leo, though I never accompanied you on your explorations. We need to set up camp. I won''t be able to get there in one day!" We waited for Shin and Kikuhime to log in, prepared our campsite, and set out. It was up to them whether to go west or north. Either way, they decided to take a rest while they could. We also need to decide how to reserve a room at the inn. "I''ll e-mail Shin and Kikuhime when I log out. I''ll call you when the time changes. Then at 12:30. Have lunch! We made plans to reconvene and logged out. I had already eaten lunch or brunch, so I decided to prepare for dinner. 18 - The New Town Log in at 12:25. It''s about 4:00 in the morning here, and sometimes I like to sleep for eight hours. I get dressed, check the wine I have been making and prepare the rest of the grapes. I want to make brandy, but I wonder if they have a distiller. ...... I''ll check with them when I go to the tool store to prepare the camp. Since no one seems to have arrived yet, I decide to take a bath. Since we are going to camp, let''s get in while we still can. When I got out of the bath, everyone was there except for Ochazuke, who had come later and seemed to have the same idea, and was taking a bath in the other room. We waited for Ochazuke and had breakfast. "What do you think about staying here?" "Well, I don''t think I''ll be back for at least two days, so I guess I won''t make a reservation. People will be moving on soon. "So, Shin, how was the temple?" "I got the genie but not the mystery, I tried every turn yesterday!¡¡I guess it''s not good to do it a second time." Finally, you''re not going back to the beginning again. "You didn''t do the end of the quest, did you?¡¡Good luck." Today''s menu is boiled eggs on croissant-like bread, salad of corn, beans and leafy greens, potatoes with skin cut into a comb and fried, pepper pastrami and sausage. Pumpkin soup. I would like to make my own ham and sausage. The stalls do not open until after 6 a.m., so I eat a leisurely breakfast and stop at the stores in the square for food and restorative medicines, In my case, the meal is the procurement of ingredients. I am the one who was given barley and hops by Peter and Kikuhime. "This is my first time in a tent. It''s so new to me that I can''t even tell the difference between a tent in this world and a tent in the real world. "I''ve got one!" Leo was the only one here with camping experience. "I got it!" At first, on Leo''s advice and my own pocketbook, I bought three easy-to-assemble two-person tents. And a barbecue set. "Hey." "Even we can tell something is off!" "Wa-ha-ha!¡¡I mean, you can bring your own food, they don''t sell sleeping bags, and that''s just the way the world works, right?" "Well, I heard that there are campgrounds and villages along the road, so it would be nice to have a place to sleep and food." "If it''s along the road." Peter supplements the conditions. "We could buy robes or cloaks instead of bedding." Then each of you buy what you think you''ll need and meet me here in an hour." "Yes, sir." As usual, we don''t have a culture of shopping in groups. Peter and I have been online game friends for a long time and have never met, but the rest of us are like this when we go out together in the real world and enter a souvenir shop or an exhibition hall. We buy dried herbs, crater stones, and water barrels to keep the bugs away. If you buy too much water, you can use it for cooking, and you can use the empty barrels, so you can refill them on the way.¡¡So I bought ten barrels. Both the water container and the cooking water container I had purchased before dissipated into light particles when I finished using them, so I guess this is a water as the name suggests. The insect repellent is probably useless since there were no insects in the meadow, but just in case. And the distiller! Having achieved my goal early on, I popped into the distiller I had just bought to turn my wine into brandy on the spot. "Sorry, please tell me what I need or should take with me for a camping trip." I have extra time, so I''m at the first tent house. I can see the rendezvous point. "Ah, you''re the customer who just bought the tent. Usually a small group of people buy a set of cloaking gear. I didn''t recommend it because I''ve been seeing so many people in tents lately. "Concealed camp?" They are made of cloth and spread or hung inside the tent, but nowadays it is popular to use thicker ones. If you move with a group of traders or a large number of people, the effect of the camp will be more conspicuous than that of the camp, so it is not very useful, and with a large number of people, demons seldom come close to you. But with a small group, I think it''s necessary. He was concerned about the recent increase in the number of customers who did not buy the camps, but he did not bother to teach them because many of them did not talk to him. It is said that if there is no dew or rain, some people spend the night wrapped in a cloth with a camp sign on it, instead of putting up a tent. He also told us that if we pitch three tents, we should pitch them a little apart from each other to make the camp more effective, and that we should keep the fire and cooking far away from the tents. I thought that we would take turns to build a fire and stay in bed, but I was told that demons come to the fire when they know that there are people around. Unlike animals, some active demons actively attack people. Unlike animals, some of the active demons attack people aggressively. As long as there are six people in a group, the demons around here will avoid you, so you should be fine, but it is said that it is dangerous when there are only one or two people. He advised us not to build a fire by the tent until we are confident of our strength. "Well, if you pitch your tent in an encampment along the road, I think you''ll be fine, since there''s a light ward there too." It is a mystery if there are any roads where we are going. "So, let''s buy a camp. He calls out to everyone gathered in front of the store. The camps were more expensive than the tents, but that could not be helped. I also bought a lamp for myself, an outdoor lamp that illuminates a wide area while being bright enough not to leak from the tent. It is meaningless because I have night vision, but I thought it would be tasteless, so I bought it. All in all, I spent a lot of money. Since I had never been there before, we decided to leave from the west and head for the north, and when we went out of the gate, we found lush green wheat fields spreading from west to north. Instead of the yellowish-green leaves of rice that we are used to seeing in Japan, dark green leaves were waving in the wind. They would be a beautiful golden color in the fall. "Shall we go this way?" After walking along the road to the west for a while, we came to a footpath between fields to the north. I don''t know how far it goes, but if we want to go north without going through the liberated secant, we have to go along the roadless path or hope that there is a fork in the road. "Let''s go!" A man who wants to go down a roadless path immediately turns north. "Well, I was going to take the beast road from the beginning." It''s idyllic. I see a mole. You want to hit it? Whack-a-mole. "Why don''t we avoid fighting as much as possible and just find a town first?¡¡If you cross the real world day, you''re going to have to log in on the field without all of us being there." I''m going to interrupt the excitement. I can only see a future where Leo and Shin get carried away and the sun goes down. "That''s right, let''s avoid the inevitable." That''s what happened. "Wheat looks like cat grass." "It''s originally oats, like raven barley or wheat, or cat grass." "Seriously? Did you think it was a grass called cat grass? ...... As we walked on, exchanging idle conversation about each other''s skills, we came to a forest. I thought that the path between the fields would end and we would have to go on a roadless path, but the forest at the end of the path between the fields had been passed by people many times, and although it was not a well-maintained path, it was a well-trodden path for daily life. In this world, firewood, mushrooms, and other things available in the forest must be important resources for daily life. The path continued to the upper reaches of the river where Leo had fished for trout. "I want to fish! I had to make a quick detour. Yeah! "This river seems to be heading north, so we should walk along the river and fish as much as we can on our lunch break. Then it turns a little to the west and flows south, probably upstream of the river where Leo caught his Yolmouth. "I''m starting to see active monsters here and there, so be careful." "I''m interested in meat." They may not always drop meat, but the monsters here are of the deer type, so we can expect them. You''ll see goblins, but don''t let them get to you. We''ll fight before noon and cook up some venison. Deer is kind of like a stew, isn''t it? "Barbequed meat is also good, although I hear it smells bad if the blood has not been drained properly." "Drained blood, huh?" "It''s nice and easy here, because you can get it in your luggage as meat." "Come to think of it, people say human meat is bad because they don''t drain the blood out of it." Suddenly it''s a black topic. "Let''s take a break and have a snack." "Oh." He is walking along with Peter and Leo, using his sense of presence to avoid enemies at all times, so he is moving at a fairly fast speed, but he is not fighting a battle, but he is still moving at an E! consumption is high. "Fishing!" Leo is resting on his fishing line, looking at the line, without eating. He is eating a hot sandwich with homemade bacon and eggs and smoked cheese, and there is also spaghetti with tomatoes and gratin in the pouch, but it is outdoors and the atmosphere is important. But I''m craving a Coke!¡¡I wonder if there is a recipe for cola. I hear that Coke in the real world has not even applied for a patent to prevent the recipe from being exposed, but I wonder if other colas can be found in the real world: ....... "That looks good, give me one." "Me too!" "Flight." "Likewise." It''s a 7 rated sandwich. I''m still making them as well as leveling up, so I''m selling off anything below a 5 without question. It''s almost a cheat to get a rating of 5, even if the recipe is 8, because I''m almost always good at cooking. "Hmm, I tried to cook too, but my specialties were and . Why didn''t I drink beer first?" "Beer scum!¡¡I was , I should have at least bought it after the party. Most of them had already eaten most of the food, and then the rules of their specialty came into play, so I think most of them were either , , or , or ." "<> is more difficult to find, and you are lucky that it is not <>. After I learned about the law, I found out that if I eat it for the first time, there is a 2 in 3 chance that it will be <> or <> instead of what I ate. It seems to be the case with people who bought the game and logged in a while later. The title of the message board was "Don''t Look" and "Spoiler Danger" in a hurry. The game packages have already been sold out and are awaiting shipment, or rather, new players will be allowed to play only after the facilities have been upgraded due to capacity constraints. In the old days, the servers would have crashed!¡¡However, due to the legal safety margin of VR, the number of participants cannot be increased until the equipment is upgraded, and the second group of players will not be able to enter the game until much later. "Now that we''re down to and and , why didn''t I order beer then?" "No. 2 B!¡¡It''s good to know that grain and alcohol are compensated for, right?¡¡Well, before going into battle without knowing it, E! If you buy it for recovery, you''re going to have to focus on your pocketbook and cost." "Everyone is doing so many things, I haven''t cooked yet. "Shin was in a party with us when he ate it, just like us!" I''m sorry that my specialty is not up to standard. I felt guilty and quietly handed him three sandwiches and bagel sandwiches at a time. "Please make a status correction effect for the 10 rating of the dish." "I''ve never gotten a 10." Although I can make a high rating, it is mainly due to my specialties, so I never reach the highest rating. My dexterity and cooking level are not high. "Homura~" When Leo called me, I turned around and saw him shoving sakana into my luggage. "I can''t hold it, you have to cook it for me!" I don''t think I could hold it even if I cooked it. Leo returned to fishing again without hearing our reply. "We''ll leave when Homura finishes cooking the current portion. And I responded with oatmeal. I wondered if I could get at least one 10 if I made all of them. It seems that the decision to make the ochazuke has been made, so I quietly begin to make it. "Grilled trout on skewers and carp and carp stewed in sweetened soy sauce". "Sober." "Would you have preferred carp concentrate or carp arai?¡¡No soy sauce or miso, though." I ate both once in the real world and did not like them. I have only two choices for freshwater fish: nattoro-ni or shio-bake for smaller fish, and I can''t eat freshwater fish either in soup or as sashimi. I mean, miso and soy sauce! "Leo, go catch some sweetfish or mountain trout!" I''m glad we share the same opinion. 19 - 17. Avoiding with all ones Leo is walking in the lead, saying "mountain stream fishing, mountain stream fishing, mountain stream fishing. Is it a mountain stream if we go upstream,...... though this forest is flat. We follow Leo, who is in a good mood, up the riverside. The forest is covered with short, beautiful green moss, fallen trees in places, and straight, spreading broadleaf trees. In the real world, this would be a forest that people have taken good care of for a long time, but here it seems to be the norm. "Shall we have a battle soon to see how strong the enemy is? "Yes, I guess so. I don''t think it''s so strong that we can''t win from a distance." "If it''s going to be a struggle, let''s just run away." "If you''re running here, I''d better go back, I don''t think you can beat the boss." !¡¡There was a boss." "If you don''t beat the boss, you''ll still be on foot to the city." Then we''ll do it the next time we see him." The deer that appeared at the beginning did not have antlers, but the ones that appear now and then have nice antlers. According to the assessment, the one without antlers was a female fleur-de-lys and the one with antlers was a male. When the deer appeared out of the forest, Kikuhime made her move. "It''s lunchtime, isn''t it? "I wonder if they have any weaknesses if I raise my appraisal level." Immediately after Kikuhime took the tag, Peter struck a blow with a normal attack, followed by Leo. Then, they move to the rear and take their positions. Shin and I split to the left and right in the meantime. "<>! "<>" Shin casts a of fire magic on himself, while I cast a spell to hinder the enemy''s movement for the time being. > is a level 1 [dark magic] that does no damage when cast on an enemy, but it can blind them for a certain amount of time and reduce their hit rate, and when cast on oneself, it can hide one''s appearance. The darker it is, the more effective it is. I try to avoid hitting the two secret agents with my attack after they have passed through, so I cast on them at the beginning of the attack. I don''t attack at all until Kikuhime uses her hate-increasing skills. And the provocation skill is more effective after the attack. The battle with six people who know each other well sometimes makes mistakes, but generally goes smoothly. You are the "Only One Enemy!" A skill that fixes the target firmly when there is only one demon. However, Kikuhime cannot run away from the enemy while the skill is in effect, nor can someone else temporarily change the target by gaining hate when Kikuhime is in a pinch. <>" Yes, I am now a magic swordsman, but I am fighting with a wand. I can''t enchant it unless my magic is 5, and the sword--or rather, the metal--seems to inhibit magic, making it less powerful than my bare hands. But since I bought this sword, I want to use it. The deer sometimes attacks with a thrust, but Kikuhime takes it without any trouble, and her equipment seems to be newer. "[Back attack]!" "[Hide in shadows]!!!" "[Dragon] !" Oh, I got an idea. Closest I can think of is Peter. "Peter, next time I cast a spell on Peter, why don''t you surprise him?" Peter would have taken this skill. "Yes, sir." <>! "[Surprise]!" "Oh, I''ve got a surprise." Surprise attack] is a skill that cannot be applied after the enemy sees you, so although it is quite powerful, it cannot be used once the battle has begun. It is a difficult skill to use even on the first shot if you are in a party because of hate management. However, it seems to be activated if the attacker hides himself in the shadow. "It''s stronger than two people attacking separately. Ochazuke calls out to me while throwing a dagger of his own making. So we were to shadow him. "I think I''ll take a surprise attack next time..." He was so strong that Leo said after one round. Shadow, surprise, any magic and Peter''s any attack in between, shadow, surprise, loop. The reason for this is that Shadow disappears when he uses his skill and the surprise attack can''t be used continuously. "I wasn''t going to get all the magic, but I''m going to get the darkness. "I think assassins and ninjas could use the concealment skills." "This will go well on the way." "By the time it gets tight, we''ll be at a higher level and Leo will be able to catch us by surprise." "I''m short on lunch, I''ll have to hunt a few more times." "Can I use the sword for a bit before it gets too tight ......?" Later in the battle, I opened the equipment window and swapped the staff and sword during the battle, and the skill [Change Equipment] came up. It allows you to change your equipment in an instant without opening a window. I got it right away!¡¡After ......, I was approached by Ochazuke. "Speaking of which, didn''t Homura buy a sword for a magical swordsman?" "...... for magic swordsmen?" "I think they only sell a one-handed sword made of N! It doesn''t seem to add to the power of the weapon like a staff does." I''ve never heard of it. You know a lot. "These days I never know when I''m going to step on the answer to a riddle. But I can''t stop." It''s all right, you''re a messenger that will make both Luba and the boy with the cane look good!¡¡S!? is not spared!¡¡If it''s not too close! [Sword] was also found. ......,d*mn it! I think it''s time for lunch. Venison, sir! After that, the stag came out with a female and we got quite a bit of meat, antlers and skins. The female dropped the loin meat in exchange for no antlers. "Come on, grill it up!" Leo pulled out a barbecue set and I thought he was going to cook it, but then he asked me to do it. I thought it was all right, and was about to get ready when Kikuhime''s voice came over me. "Homura''s going to put it away once! "What?" "Leo is now the owner of the barbecue set, which means he is in danger of becoming Leo''s food." Wondering what kind of food Leo has fed Kikuhime in the past, he puts the barbecue set away on the porch under Kikuhime''s swordplay. You can [cook] as is, but I''m sure you''d prefer to eat it while grilling. Taking out the barbecue set again, he wonders if he should try soaking the food in wine for now. "Hey! The moment I put the wine next to the marinated meat to accelerate the process, Peter and Kikuhime snatched it away. "It''s delicious~!" "It''s not barbecued meat, it''s gibier!¡¡It''s like that." "More beer, please." "Me, too." "The loin''s good!" I control the meat here! Onions are burnt! Who put the green bell pepper on top? "Meat! Meat! Meat!" The sound and smell of cooking meat spread around the area as the fat fell on the coals, and the noise of friends eating meat.... Kikuhime drinks wine and Peter and Shin drink beer. I was allowed to take all the meat instead of cooking it, so I served at least this much, and I''m glad it was well received. "Homura, make me coffee and oolong tea next time! "Coffee can be made quickly, but bring the ingredients for oolong tea. I don''t drink coffee myself, so I didn''t take the initiative, but I did buy some beans. Ochazuke is a coffee addict instead of a drinker. And I am the only black or green tea drinker here. We take a leisurely break from eating. It seems that medicinal herbs can be found anywhere there is greenery. Leo is casting a fishing line, and downstream the miners are picking up rocks, which look like just rocks to me without a mineralogy degree. I wonder if the fish will escape. There were more stones and rocks than the others, and it was just past noon, so we had lunch here, which was somewhat strange. Why are there so many rocks here, especially the one that sticks out in the middle of the river? They don''t look like they came from upstream. Is it something by design? I tend to think in terms of the real world. Like the placement of mining points. While I was looking at the work, I found watercress, a food not to be collected. I''m glad I bought the book. "What are you doing?" I turn my eyes and see Shin tilting his head. "I saw watercress growing, so I''m picking it, you know, the kind they put on steaks and stuff. Like berries, anyone can pick it. When I responded by showing them the watercress I had picked, the diggers also picked watercress nearby while digging, and even Kikuhime picked some without regard for medicinal herbs. "We''re sewing production, so it''s okay if we sell the medicinal herbs for cheap. It''s in return for the wine you gave us earlier." By the time we finished our break, we had a large supply of watercress and fish on hand. Thank goodness. "Thank you," he said, "but they just shoved the fish in there in the middle of all this! "Ha-ha-ha-ha, cook what you want!" "Okay, I''ll give you back what I didn''t eat with everyone, I cooked in batches for later." I''m glad my skills have improved, but what is this feeling of being taken advantage of? I''m going to cook them all in nectar!¡¡Do you have enough sugar! Miso stew has no miso. "Hmm, if we had rice and soybeans, we could make miso and soy sauce. "I think I have soybeans, but I don''t have rice..." "I''ll look for sake!" "If you can make miso and soy sauce, I''ll join the search party." "Let''s expand our search as far as we can go!" "I want rice for breakfast!" "Give me some miso soup!" "You''re starving for Japanese food so fast, you don''t eat Japanese food everyday in the real world." "This is different from that, just like when you stay at a ryokan, you want to eat Japanese food for breakfast." "Sake, a chance to drink sake every day." "Same as on the right." You don''t have to worry about alcoholism or the next morning. After catching a glimpse of each person''s passion for food, we begin to move on. The map becomes more detailed along the river. The differences are not apparent unless you zoom in to the maximum, perhaps because it is a forest. Let''s register the place where watercress can be found, just in case. The ore and watercress. There''s something there." Peter, who was apparently also trying to register, says. Yes, that''s the rock in the middle of the river we were looking at earlier. It was circled on my map. We decided to go back. That''s the rock. "Yes, I''m sure I saw something circled on the map when I looked at it." "Let''s just go take a closer look." That''s what happened. We all surrounded the stones, and although the current was fairly slow since the river was on a flat area, it was indeed dangerous to be knee-deep in the river if we were not careful. "Kikuhime, it''s easier if you stay in someone''s shadow, okay?" Kikuhime looks like she''s in trouble. Leo is already swimming with Shin holding on to him, so that''s good. "What''s that carving?" "What is it?" "Is that a Phal symbol?" "Oh, I saw a lot of that last night at the temple." Since it was the first place of worship I had visited, I mentioned that I barely remembered it, and Shin affirmed it. Maybe I should buy the book, even if it costs more. The crest is mostly immersed in the water, and you have to get close to the stones to block the flow of water so that the surface of the water is calm, or you have to dive down to see it. When Ochazuke touched the crest, the stone glowed. It is a d¨¦j¨¤ vu light. "It''s a genie!" Shin shouts when he sees a woman sitting on a translucent rock. The center of her body and her face are not so much, but her fingertips, especially her toes and her hair, are covered with running water. A woman made of blue water. Ah-han? A bad premonition makes me half-hide myself in the shadow of Shin. > He smiles, puts his index finger to his lips, cowering his shoulders lightly, and asks. ""This is the man.""" Peter and Shin smile and point to the tea pickles in front of the genie. "Hey, hey!" He squints at the oatmeal, and his mouth turns into a happy crescent shape. This is the flow of the blessing of the spirits. He looks at Peter with streaming eyes. "I''m a pedophile, so no thanks." This is the attitude that Peter would do anything to avoid a blessing. He looked at me next. "You are too beautiful for a man," he says, "an elf with shining gold hair and eyes the color of forest green. He who touched you first is your destiny. He tells her with a smile. "You!" While Ochazuke is staring at me, I put my hand around his neck and kiss his forehead. >> He stays where he is, says his name in Ochazuke''s ear, and disappears. < <<< He was sealed by the goddess Phal. . Then five spirits appeared, each taking the form of a girl with less personality than the spirit named Leroux, as if the water were rising up. . Each blesses Kikuhime, Shin, Peter, Leo and me, whispers our names and disappears. "I got a genie!" In my stupor, Leo''s voice rang out, bringing me back to my senses. ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ...increase... Skills [Equipment change].

Let''s check your endurance while we''re at it. "You, you, you, you!¡¡You pushed me!" "Oh, no, it''s all in your head." Peter blurts out with a smile. "I envy you for being such a strong genie..." "And the first thing I touched was the oatmeal, right?" Neither Kikuhime nor Shin makes eye contact with Ochazuke. "By the way, Peter, did you have a birthday in April?" I ask Peter what he was wondering about to turn the tide. "I did, or rather, I forgot to change it and it''s April 1st by default. "Wahaha, April Fool''s Day!" "I guess it''s decided that your birthday determines your attribute affinity." "Well, what''s in August?" "You!¡¡Don''t go off topic like that!" They''ve noticed! "Well, well, the spirit we got as a reward, the ability is a restorative effect, so I think it was only natural that Ochazuke should get the other one." Peter tells him with a nice smile. I have a feeling that Leo has healing, too, but I keep my mouth shut. "Oh, it''s really a recovery, isn''t it?" "It''s good to have more people who can heal and recover when the need arises." The ochazuke is getting a little gnarly after getting Kikuhime and Shin''s support, but they seem to have agreed with me. Congratulations! I offered him a cup of hot coffee to cheer him up. "How is a genie different from a genie used by a genie-user?" "I don''t know?¡¡The explanation says that if the occupation is a genie user, the genie can use all the abilities it can learn, so I think the genie will learn a lot of things from now on.¡¡In the beginning, there are only a few abilities that can be used, so I don''t think it will be that different. Ochazuke answers Leo''s question with a cup of coffee. "Our spirits have only learned one thing, haven''t they?" "I got a spirit stone to add abilities, so I''m sure we can add more soon." Yes, except for Ochazuke, each of them received two spirit stones that have the effect of increasing the abilities of the spirits. Since Leroux is a strong spirit, the extra stones are probably used to balance the two. I wonder if I should keep them until I meet a stronger spirit. "Oh no, it''s very useful!" Ochazuke is in a good mood. He is now in the middle of a battle, and there is a deer in front of him, engaging in a nasty fight with another deer. The male is < by Leroux and attacks the female, and the female is < and attacks the male. The anger is indiscriminate, but if they do not fight back, they will start fighting each other. The trick of combat is to avoid gaining the female''s hate. Well, in order to save time, Kikuhime is usually in charge of one of the females, but beside her, there is something like a hell picture of males and females. The reason why I feel that way is because Leroux charmed the male with his s*xy charms when he was performing his technique, and then the female got the < status abnormality. Why are you in a good mood, Ochazuke-san? ...... No, it''s because the battle has become easier. I''m level 21 now. I got a sword as soon as I could, but since I had been fighting with a staff and magic to use Shadow, I was a little hesitant to give it to strength, so I gave it to dexterity and agility. He also cooks, and it''s hard to keep up with Peter and Leo because of their slow movement speed, so it''s okay. We continued the battle, took a break, had a snack, collected some food, and continued the battle. The plan was to see the strength of the enemy and avoid battles, but we are beating every enemy we meet. The gathering of medicinal herbs and loquat that can be gathered normally. I should negotiate with Kikuhime to make a loquat tart, or maybe I can do it since I have a compensation.¡¡Is [baking] the right way to cook it? At the beginning of the break, he gently spices up the cheese and brandy with [time accelerator]. The cooking itself is E! The cooking skill is M! The cooking skill consumes M! Then, the time is saved by [M! Automatic recovery] will bring you back to the maximum M! I guess our party takes much more time for rest than other parties because of fishing and gathering. E! In some cases, they are using E! The enemy that appeared at night after dark was a bear, a fleur bear. ......I didn''t see that Ochazuke was not happy. If there is only one enemy, Leo also learned the [surprise attack], so the bear''s attack will take Kikuhime''s H! The bear''s attack can take many H! But now that we have to shadow Peter and Leo alternately, we have no chance to use other magic or swordplay. Thanks to this, my dark magic has overtaken several magic levels that I had already learned. The spoils are bearskin, bearskin, and bearskin. Don''t tell you that I wondered what I would do if it had been a bear''s paw. Peter found iron sand in the sand of the river, so we took a break from collecting and digging, and we continued fighting until around 8:00 p.m., preparing for dinner. Since we had meat during the day, we replaced the net of the barbecue set with a griddle, and the trout were grilled with herbs, roughly dusted with breadcrumbs, and watercress and lemon were placed on top of the breadcrumb-covered trout that had turned into a foxy color. Roasted onions and bell peppers are added as garnish. Bread, salad, and coffee are then served to everyone. The bread has two compensations and a surprising rating of 9 since the ingredients level is not high. If I were to get a rating of 10 for the first time, it would be this one, right? "I''d like a glass of white wine!" Not to be outdone. At Kikuhime''s words, white wine and beer are distributed. By the way, once the grapes were peeled and the white wine was made, the white wine added to the recipe could be selected and the grapes would just be left in the luggage. And apparently, even if you cook without using [Cooking], unlike in the real world, you can make a dish with a couple of missing ingredients as long as you have the main ingredients. The amount of ingredients can also be adjusted to suit your taste. This is why the correction for the specialty <[baking>> is in effect. "Eat now!" It went up from a rating of 5! "Oh!" "Bon app¨¦tit." "Wow!" "Delicious." "Gohan!" White wine is so good! Kikuhime, I''m not sure what it is. It''s all in your head. "I''m not good at fish, but this is delicious, crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. "The bread is amazing!" "Swallow before you speak!" Ochazuke tries to give Leo some educational guidance. Yeah, I think the bread, but the outdoor effect makes it taste 20% better. It may be a little too noisy, but the food tastes good with the others. "Let''s grill some more meat during the day, we still have some loin. Or okonomiyaki. I''ll check out what to do with the bear meat while I''m logged out. "You don''t have to force yourself to eat the bear." After that, I accept several second helpings, and worry a little about the vegetables and other ingredients for the rest of the day. I had thought I had bought more than enough, but at this rate I was going to run out of time. I think I''ll have grilled trout around the campfire for one meal somewhere. Oh, I''ve been making cheese, but I''ll check out how to make butter. I serve dessert, making a mental note. "Nut pound cake." "Yes." "I''d like some ice cream to go with it." I put whipped cream on it, but... "They sell it at the restaurant, so give me the recipe." I found a recipe with ice cream, sorbet and berry jam for sale, but it was expensive. Maybe this recipe will help me learn things like [freezing]. And since I tried to make rare cheese and failed, there must be a recipe somewhere to learn [refrigeration] or something. By the way, I was able to use [mix] for whipped cream. I have checked other recipes from 6 to 8 at the stall, but it seems that from 6, there are three circles behind. 6 is [bake], 7 is [fry], and 8 is [fry], so I have not purchased them because I can already arrange them thanks to my specialties. Recipes 9 to 11 are sold in restaurants, and I didn''t know what recipe to learn because I don''t remember them. Well, I could guess from the names of the dishes. I want recipe 9 because I want to drink corn soup. 9,000 shillings. After a noisy dinner as usual, we sit around the fire. We all sit around the fire and talk while producing. I am now wondering whether or not to make a concoction, I have bought the recipe and have all the ingredients. But then again, there are some formulas I''m good at, aren''t there?¡¡I have a suspicion that M! I was suspicious that the shadow of M!? I have enough medicines for M! Also, according to the information from Ochazuke, if you learn from a resident whose occupation or title is < or , the one you learn will be given priority. Now, if you try to make a formula, it will be the same as the first one you used. It is very likely that it will be the recovery medicine that you used first. Now, what shall we do? Cooking is not a good idea since it consumes a lot of materials. It''s dangerous to go out at night to gather materials alone, but... I''m going out. It''s not safe. If you die, they''ll send you back to the Fast, okay? You want to follow me? No, I''ll shadow you. The bears are active, but the fact that they can hide during battle suggests that they are effective against enemies in this area. It will cut off when you collect it, but it can sense your presence, so if you''re not careful, you''ll be fine." "I see." "There are some that can only be taken at night, like Leo''s Yolmas, which sounds interesting, but I don''t think I can follow it because it would be in a different place for collecting." "Shall we go to Kikuhime?" "Well, I''m going to have to process the skins. I want you to take me tomorrow night." "Okay, I''ll be there." Take care. I''ll be logging out in two hours, so come back." With everyone''s voices in the background, we started walking, maps and night vision coming in handy. We headed east with the river at our backs. I don''t mind filling in the map even if I can''t find a collection point. It is not often that I get a chance to walk alone in the forest at night like this. The moon is beautiful through the branches and the shadows of the trees cast by the moon are also beautiful. The moon, which looked yellow on the night I first logged in, now looks golden. The small white moon in the distance and the big golden moon shining brightly, it is a fantastic other world. In this world, the year begins in April, the month of Phal, and moves in sequence to the months of Phal and Tasha, the month of Tasha, and so on, with two moons in between, each protected by two pillars. The color of the white moon changes once during the month of Mitsuki, without a fixed day. It is said that we can see the moons of different colors: gold from April to June, red from July to September, yellow from October to December, and orange from January to March. Some scholars are trying to explain that it is related to the magical elements, but in reality, the only thing that is known is that they are seen somewhere between the three months and that the protection of the month in which the different-colored moon appears (on the calendar) is activated, making it easier to meet the spirits that are its dependents. I guessed April, May, etc., but in fact it was described as the month of Phal or the month of Val, a trap that I can only remember some of the beginnings of. ...... Yeah, it''s a bit expensive when I get back to town, but I''ll give up on the recipes and buy that book. We see bears quite often, but they don''t seem to notice us. I move downwind when I see a bear, but what''s the point?¡¡This causes them to shift their course northward and northward. And I seem to have found it again before the collection point. No, I found the pickup point, too. Anyway, I''ll send out a text message to all of you at once. Homura: Sorry, I think I found another spirit. It''s about 30 minutes from there. Can you make it? Ochazuke sent: Where are you? A short reply came from Ochazuke. It''s hard to explain the location! Homura Sent: About 20 degrees north from there with the river at your back? Or should I go back once?¡¡But I''m not sure I can find it again because this spirit is moving. The spirit disappears and reappears about 10 meters away, dances gently in the moonlight for a while, and then moves again. After the genie dances, there grows <, which seems to be a collection point. The dancing circle has created a collection point every other point, and this is the fourth one now, with glittering points mixed in. The every-other-others may be alternating with mining points. < Ochazuke sends: It seems impossible, so go ahead... Well, it''s 30 minutes away and I''m not sure where they are. So we approach the genie. It''s a genie, right?¡¡It''s not a demon marker that detects presence. I was worried that a battle might suddenly break out, but the spirit had already noticed me, and at the same time, the party indicator disappeared. > > Young girls with no personality but beautiful. A beautiful woman with glowing white skin and jet-black hair floats in the center of the group. Her skin is white, which makes her stand out, but if you look closely, you can see that her hair and the whole body are glowing white. I recognize this light. My name is Homura. You carry a piece of my power in your body, do you not? Now, there should be no place in the land of the living where I live and breathe. "Oh, I feel a piece of my other half, too." "I like that you came alone, I don''t like the noise." "Okay, I give you my blessing." With that, the goddess of darkness and her household disappeared. Are you sure you want to call her the Goddess of Darkness ......? I have obtained the title [Verna''s Blessing]. [Dark magic] has changed to [Dark magic]. As soon as the announcement was made, I received a text message from Ochazuke and the others. Ochazuke sent: Dead? Peter sent: It is shameful that you should die, O brave man! Shin Sent: Temple? Leo sent: wahahahahaha Kikuhime Sent: He''s dead, isn''t he? I''ll let Leo go through with it, but I''ll reply that I was let out of the party at the event, but I''m safe and sound.

I am very happy. I would be very happy if I could also get the corrections for dexterity and strength. From the first singsong-like words, I think the conditions to meet are The color of the moon changed. A forest that no one can touch. Night And from the lines, it is only one person who can receive the blessing with darkness and light. The lines may vary depending on the occupation, perhaps. It would be a problem for professions that have nothing to do with the attributes. The dance site that cannot be seen by the collectors must be a digging point. Anyway, I emailed him and he replied that it takes a long time to go back to the site because of the many encounters with bears, and that he should guide me there. And by the way..., "I''ll kill you to get it." "Was she beautiful!" "How did you find the event?" "I''m not bitter about it!" I got a text message like that. They are good friends. I register the locations on the map and collect them little by little as I pass by, not wanting to lose them due to the time limit. We shadowed our way back from the first encounter, reassembled the party, shadowed everyone, and moved on. The initial logout schedule will change. "Sorry about that Leo." No, I got it. "You got it!" "I''ll get mining one of these days!" We split into two groups, collecting and mining. It seems that the empty dance site had become a digging point. We decided to fight the bears instead of hiding when they appeared, and we arranged that if they came this way, Kikuhime would join them, and if they went that way, Shin would join them while they were being tagged. From the one shining collection point, about ten of them were <, and along with them were fruits with names of attributes such as <<>. The moonflower has nearly black leaves and stems, with small, delicate white flowers that appear almost transparent. The white flowers were glistening in the moonlight. I wonder if I could take the whole root of this plant and plant it in a pot. ...... It would be more beautiful if it bloomed in clusters. Gently pick a few of them with the soil so as not to cut the roots. Can I do it? Feeling good that I was able to collect the whole soil without wilting, I tried fire seed, but it failed. Why? I thought I had collected the fire seed with the whole soil, but the amount I collected normally in the pouch only increased. I tried several kinds of seeds and succeeded to collect wind seeds with soil, is this a compatibility problem or a blessing ....... "What are you doing?" "I was wondering if I could do some potting or something." "If you had an item pouch, wouldn''t cut flowers wilt all the time?" "Yes, but I''m in the mood. I''ve actually had some of the soil come off." "Hmmm... You can grow them later, can''t you?" "I''ve already mowed everything!" Yeah, I was too lazy to take the whole soil. No, but it''s too soon. I wish I could own a house. "From the way things are going in this world, it looks like you''ll be able to have one soon, doesn''t it?" It''s going to cost a fortune! "I have to start saving now." The others were <<> and <> among the <>. "I wonder if these two are sewing materials, given their names." "I think so," he said. "Would you like to trade for herbs?" "Isn''t this more expensive in terms of the amount you can get?" "I don''t know.¡¡I don''t know, I''m seeing both for the first time." When we get to town, I''ll see what price I can get for it when I sell it to N!C and ask for an exchange." "Mine''s good, too!" "Oh, if you want to sell off some herbs or something to the residents, sell it to me." "Same here, right? By the way, when I tried it, I got and from the whole soil. I got two of each. The miners, too, seemed to have obtained materials they had never seen before, and they decided to return to the riverside with a smile on their faces. Since there was no sign of any demons in the river at the moment, we decided to camp by the river. Since we went straight back, we were north of where we had eaten dinner. "If we fall back to the camp, can you call Shadow to join us? "Yes, sir." It''s a real relief, since it takes about five minutes to go off without doing anything. "We''ll meet at 3:00 real time, OK?" "Okay." At first we were going to take turns watching for bears, but if they logged out, we couldn''t wake them up, and we couldn''t bear a small group of bears!¡¡So they decided to trust the team and all of them went to bed after all. I don''t want to wake up in a fast temple. I''ll shadow everyone and crawl into my tent. I go to the bathroom and make a cup of tea! I''m currently looking up how to eat bear meat on C. I think I can make butter by mixing. In the real world, I don''t actually cook that much because I hate cleaning up. I like to cook and eat. There is no miso in hunter''s stew. Without miso and soy sauce, the safest thing to do is to cook it in wine or beer. I don''t have a recipe for stewing, so I''ll buy one when I get to town. This time I''m going to cook the deer on the barbeque. It''s a trap that I keep thinking of saving money, and then something I want comes up. With this in mind, I log in at 3:00 pm. I''ll let you know. The partner card that can only be given to one resident will now be the party partner card for residents who can be invited to a party. This will allow multiple exchanges of resident and partner cards, just like between players. Cards that have already been exchanged have been modified to party partner cards. This may result in a contact from a resident who has exchanged partner cards. You cannot use forced calls, but you may be invited to a party by a resident. You can also invite them to your adventures, depending on their occupation, likability, and other factors. Residents have a liking level, and even if they have exchanged party partner cards or partner cards, if the liking level drops too low, the resident''s card may be discarded. The degree of liking is increased by normal interaction, by doing quests and battles together, and by winning battles. Some residents are special from the start, but even ordinary residents may grow and become special through interaction with the player. Please see the menu for details. Peter was also awake next door. He greets me, brushing my hair back from my face. "Good morning." "It''s the middle of the night here, but good morning." "You''ve been writing something since you started running the place." "You''re here." I was about to say, "Now I can exchange patkas with a little girl as much as I want," but I decided against it. Since I am the one who has known Peter the longest in the online game, I am often paired with Peter naturally when we are paired without considering the combat aspect. This time, too, I was in the same tent with Peter. I get out of the tent and put away the tent with the team. The other four are now awake, and I am glad they are safe and sound. While we are eating and working on production, we use the of the light magic. I thought about using it to raise the level of my work while moving around, but the brightness in the vicinity made it inversely proportional to the difficulty in seeing the distance and surroundings, so I stopped using it, and it was rather distracting for those with night vision. I heard that there are some people in the world who do not have night vision, but instead let the healers and mages fight with torches, which I can only think of as a kind of boundary game. At any rate, I mix the cream I had already made and make butter. In real life, you could put cream in a plastic bottle and swish it around for almost an hour. The game is wonderful, stirring and stirring and stirring and stirring and stirring and stirring. It''s not hard and it''s not dull until the E! I also learned how to stir. It''s just that the roast may take a little longer, so this stirring time is nothing. Coffee, toast, butter, bacon and eggs, and orange juice are served for the meal. The bacon and eggs are half-cooked for me, Peter, and Ochazuke, while the other three are fully cooked. "I want soy sauce." "Sauce." Ketchup. "Salt and pepper." "Mayonnaise." "Mentsuyu." When I tweeted that I wanted soy sauce, I got a variety of responses. Everyone seems to have different tastes, and today''s fried egg is made with salt and pepper. I think I can make everything but soy sauce and mentsuyu. Where are the soybeans? ...... As I was defeating bears that appeared in my path, I began to see a mixture of demons with the pun-like name of "boron fire" and kai fukuso (a kind of grass) among them. As the name implies, the "kai-fuku-so" heals enemies who have been attacked. The fire is a fire-encrusted seed that flies at high speed mainly to the rear guard, and its attack has a certain probability of . The attack has a certain probability of . s of auxiliary magic to the bear. Fortunately, H! is not so high, and a surprise attack from Shadow, plus a single hit from Shin or Kikuhime, can take it down. If the number of them increases or the durability of the enemies who use auxiliary magic increases, we may have to deal with them in some way. For now, we are pushing hard, but we should stop them with [Shimei] or use that we have learned with Dark Magic Lv.3. I want to use the whole magic. Level 22 is now, and the level of Dark Magic has finally reached the level of Swordsmanship. The river has become so narrow that it straddles the river, and has finally become a spring that gushes out from between the roots of the trees. "Where is the stream fishing? "You''d have to have more up-and-down terrain." "Well, it looks like there''s something out there, so why don''t you go fish?" "Gnuh." Leo, who was still hanging on to his fishing line with an unconvinced look on his face, gave me a cup of coffee, and we took a break too. The sugar and milk are too much trouble, so I give them to him ahead of time, telling him to put them in himself. Incidentally, it seems that once the coffee was put in the item pouch, it did not become sweet even if sugar was added. It seems that the coffee becomes sweet even if it is put in after the coffee is put in the item pouch. "You can get sand here, <>. Some kind of whetstone, I think. The miners are dredging sand at the edge of the spring. The water was found to be of <, so it was replaced with water from the barrels. The water can be used both for drinking and for quenching in the blacksmith''s shop. "Give me the barrel." "No, I won''t!" I said no, but I guess a barrel of cooked food would be enough for a meal, and a barrel of tea would be enough for a cup of tea. We bought ten barrels! I was going to give them all a barrel each, buy more barrels when we get to town, and when they are empty, I was going to fill them with sake and promote it over time. I was going to try to put the liquor in these barrels when they are empty and promote it over time. The fish Leo caught was a , a bluish fish about 11 to 13 centimeters long, similar in appearance to a wakasagi. I fried it and ate it. The fish was so delicious that it was gone as soon as it was fried. Some of the three of us demanded beer, as we should have. I wonder if I have all the ingredients to make shichimi. I wonder if I can substitute orange peels for the chimpi ...... will work. Maybe it''s because the recipe for < is recipe 8, or maybe this greenling is a high-rank ingredient, but the cooking has gone up by one. I think this is a very fast pace for me, since I have improved by one level in the morning too. I will let you know. Second field boss < has been defeated by Roy, Kurau, Kaede, Momiji, Dawn, and Shirayuri. "It''s these people again~" Peter reacts to the world announcement that comes over the air. "Again?" "This is the same party that opened up the secant." "Wasn''t this the same party that was the field boss at Fast?¡¡So-called, the top party of the strategy group. "The first person to kill a boss and the first person to kill a boss gets a bonus," the announcers said. "So many Japanese names, but only one kanji." "I tend to use katakana when I think of fantasy." "Well, I can''t speak for others." Thus, the story moves in the direction of the day after tomorrow as we head north. The enemies included lizards, but the bears grew red and black. We continued to fight, and perhaps because of Leo''s wish, there was a small pond on the way. We skewered Leo''s fish and grilled them as planned, but then we realized that we had grilled the meat as well. The meat of a flying rabbit, just sprinkled with salt, roasted over a roaring fire. The skin was crispy and the inside was juicy ....... The amount of recovery of the meat is small but the level of ingredients is low for flying rabbit so it has a rating of 9 just like bread. Sorry about Leo''s Yolmas. One of these days, I''ll be able to give you a high rating, too. ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ More...

I followed Singh''s gaze and saw a black circle on the ground. "Is there some kind of small child?" I want a long view. I want this and that! "Peter''s up." Why? "You know what you''re doing." Ochazuke is still pulling stories too. "Let''s see!" Before I could observe, Leo suddenly started running. "Help!" A boy, his feet caught in the black mud, cries and reaches out to us. . The disappearance of the sounds you used to hear, which indicate that you have moved from a normal field to an isolated event field, makes you feel a sense of discomfort. The sound of leaves rustling has suddenly stopped. "Oh, I have a bad feeling about this." "A field boss?¡¡Is it an area boss to liberate the city?" I haven''t been able to enter the town or encounter any events yet. Is it a boss out of the blue? I''ve been ignoring the city streets. I guess I got there before they told me where the boss was. "Ha-ha-ha-ha." What appeared to be black was mud, and out of the mud emerged a huge lizard the size of a 10-ton truck. The ground he is stepping on has turned into a muddy quagmire, as if it had melted. Perhaps because it burrows into the soil, its blackish figure, covered with scales, looks more smooth than one would expect. "Peter, infant, please! Is it me? "Let''s go!" "Oh!" Kikuhime strikes, and Peter falls backward with the boy in his arms. Leo attacks, Shin enchants, I shadow Leo, and we begin the procedure as before, and the Dade Lizard attacks Shin and Leo. ? "Ow!" "[Only One Enemy], isn''t it!" Leo''s shadow is unraveling under attack. "I think you can see the shadow!" I wonder if it''s more of an attack on the person being assisted. "We''ll stop the assistance and see what happens." Ochazuke gives instructions while Leo recovers. "I left the kid behind a tree for now." We are in the boss''s field, so we are not likely to be attacked by other demons. Now that we don''t have to cast <>, let''s try out the power of rotation. <>! "[Tiger] !¡¡Ochazuke, do you want to take turns summoning spirits after the move?" At the scene of the fourth move, the recovery to Kikuhime and the damage received by her tail and the accumulation of continuous damage were running out of time. The [Circulating Power] was challenging the type of wind between the two, but it could not be helped even if it was invalid. I wonder if I can summon the spirits in the same order as . I''m on it! "Spirit of water!¡¡Come and heal!" My contracted water spirit, Rufa, springs from the palm of my hand and flies overhead to circle the party members, sprinkling drops of water over their heads, and they all h! It is a little less than the amount of healing from oatmeal, but it''s still a good thing. But it is enough to last even if someone gets hit by the long tongue. Since we can summon the spirits again in five minutes, and we only need them at the right moment to move the daylizard, we should be able to call them before the other four use up their summonses. If he is a spirit user, the time for this re-summoning is said to be a little shorter. "I''ll be next." "[Cross slash], right?¡¡Then I''ll go for number three!" "[â³]! "Uh-oh!" More! It''s huge! Watch out! "Skewered!" "What did you do?" A spell-like band of light appeared around me, and where normally only one wooden spear of about 150 centimeters appeared, six of them, each over three meters long, appeared and skewered the Dade Lizard. I thought that the summoning of spirits might have nullified the spell, but fortunately I timed it with the use of water, and it seemed to have worked. I guess I can rotate the attributes. I guess a fencer can use this, though I don''t plan to be one. The daylizard flinched and writhed from the amount of damage inflicted. It is a wooden spear, but it looks like a big stake. The figure of the Dade Lizard, pierced by six stakes and sewn to the ground, is quite gruesome. The reason why the wood magic was chosen as the starting point is because it is a superior attribute that deals 1.2 times the amount of damage to the earth attribute. I don''t know what I would have done if it had been fire or something like that. The wind magic is in between, so you have to hit them eleven times in the right order. It''s totally for a party and for a boss. But it is a level 3 wood magic, yet it is this powerful. As long as there is no wind resistance or something, it is a nice and effective technique, though it takes a lot of time and effort. Incidentally, since it is learned in the order of "Mokkado Gonsui" and Yin-Yang, it is a simple type that doesn''t have wind in between?¡¡The "I can''t use it now" trap is a trap because I can''t remember where the wind comes. I decided to buy that book for the second time. I defeated the Dade Lizard safely, forgetting that I am a Mage Swordsman. I''ll let you know. Foss''s Dade Lizard has been defeated by Leo and five others. "Oh? Leo! "You did it, didn''t you?" "Was this your first time?" "Really?" "Hyah-hoo-hoo!" The world announcement was played, and the audience cheered. Since the names are kept private except for Leo''s, the announcement sounds like Leo and his group. We got the bracelet for the first defeat of the boss, <. I got the title [Lizard Slayer]. I got the skin of the daylizard x4. I got the Dagger of the Dade Lizard. I got the magic stone of the daylizard. I got 10 pieces of steel. I got the ring of strength. I got the transfer stone <. "Big brother, big sister!" I forgot. I forgot about the boy! I had forgotten too, but don''t say it out loud in front of him, Leo. "I have a home in Hoss." I wrapped the boy in my robe and gave him warm milk to calm him down after he thanked me and cried that he was scared. When he calmed down, I asked him where he lived, and he gave me the name of a city that was neither Fast nor the liberated second sur. It seems that the liberation event of the city is confirmed. It was almost dark. We all shadowed and Peter took a boy named Doyle with him and we moved to Foss. When we arrived at the town, the gate was tightly closed, but when we knocked hard, a young guard appeared through the peephole and opened the gate after we told him what had happened. The guard who showed us the way told us to wait, and we meekly waited as if it were a matter of human affairs, thinking how hard it must be for us even though the sun was already setting. "Mineral favorites are +1 to the number of minerals mined..." "I''d like to trade it for collecting it." "Great." "I think I''ll get it." "Non-transferable, huh?" "Why the pun?" "If it weren''t for the genie, we''d have lost." "I guess..." "I''m so tired." "Oh, I''ll repair your equipment." Ochazuke and Kikuhime fixed it. I must learn to dispense medicines and be able to use them. Leo seemed to hit it off with Doyle while they were playing, and he took to Leo instead of Peter, who was holding him. By the time we arrived at the town, he was laughing and showing a mischievous expression that went beyond the cheerful one that was typical of his temperament. "Oh!¡¡Doyle." A stern, mature-looking man who appeared to be his boss entered the packing room with the young guard from earlier. Unlike the young guards, he was dressed in plain clothes, as if he was no longer on duty. "Thank you, adventurers! Since Doyle''s disappearance, there have been rumors that the demons in the western plains may have migrated there. Doyle, why did you go into the woods?¡¡You were not allowed to go into the woods alone." "I''m sorry. I just wanted to see what it was like. ......" I''m calling our people right now. We''ve caused you a lot of trouble, so be prepared to be scolded, okay?" That''s what the city walls were originally built for. When the number of demons increases, the gates are closed to prevent them from entering until the defeat is complete. The people who live within the walls have a sense of "our city" and solidarity, and as the old man at the used bookstore showed us, they tend to keep their distance from strangers. "Well, whatever it was, it was good. We were just looking for Doyle for the bounty, you guys can take it. We have also received a report that there is no sign of any movement of demons. Let''s open the gates now." The city of Hoth has been liberated. Second world announcement of the day. "Well, let''s go register our transfer to the temple..." "Oh~~" The reward was a whopping 40,000 shill. I had wondered how the strategy group that was rushing ahead was doing with their equipment, but if they were getting this much money, they would spend less time hunting demons in the field, and less time steadily saving up money by collecting and mining. I am sure that in the future, when trading and production among players become more active, we will be able to profit by moving on and getting new materials as quickly as possible. Excuse me, where is the temple? It was good to be upbeat, but we didn''t have a map. When Ochazuke asked the young guard, Barth, where the temple was located, he drew a simple map. The map that he registered was quite surreal. The city of Fos looks like the same size as Fast, but the inside of Fos is quite different. Fast was a city of adventurers, while Fos is a city of inhabitants. Stores selling wheat and daily necessities are larger, and there are far more stores selling farming tools than stores and workshops selling weapons and armor. The special product of the town is ceramics. There are also many lumberjacks to maintain the kilns, but not as many as in the town of Saa, where furniture and fittings are the main products. Barth told me that Sekan is a fishing and farming town. We did not see it because we came through the forest, but we were told that there are villages along the roads and that life in this country is easier than in other countries because there are fewer demons. However, there are still demons. In this town, too, there is a plaza just after the gate, but it is said to be used to temporarily house those who have abandoned their villages and fled in the event of a mass outbreak of demons. I thought it was a storage space for adventurers. When I left the barracks after hearing such a story, I saw some players. About fifteen of them. "Excuse me, are you the party that defeated the boss? "Oh!¡¡I beat him!" "Hey, you guys are so low! You beat us like that while we were looking for you! The man''s words and facial expression have a spine, but the woman''s do not. I''ll leave it to Ochazuke and Leo and let them go through with it. "Especially the magic swordsman!¡¡You''re too low!" But then I got tangled up with a name-dropper. Yeah, I was at work yesterday and I''m only 3 levels lower. I think that if I wasn''t a Mage, my physical defense would have been too low to be good even if I had a spirit. "I am helped by my shield and my good recovery. I answer smilingly. I have a habit of getting into bad moods and becoming more and more polite when I can''t vent on the spot. "I was just competing with Roy, and you just side-stepped me!" The woman who got involved with me had black hair, although it was tight, and she was as small as Princess Kikuhime, even though she was a beautiful woman with her hair in all the right places and her body in all the wrong places. She was hissing and turned her distorted mouth into a face and tried to jam me. The level of the demons is not yet visible, but as soon as the animal demon identification is set to 2, the levels of the players in the town become visible. If they had seen it, they would have been at level 29. I don''t know if the difference of 4 levels from Ochazuke and his friends is big or small, but considering that we are in the early stage of the game, it is probably big. "Stop black lily! "Hmph!¡¡You''re ruining the game!¡¡You didn''t even get a down anyway!" He made some unintelligible statements, such as "I''m not a member of your party," and went back to his own party members, rather than ....... Maybe it''s good for some people, but I''m afraid of the balance between her height and her big breasts. If you only look at her face or her breasts, it doesn''t bother you, but if you look at the whole picture, you can''t help it. It''s a trap that makes you want to turn away. I''m sorry. My party and I were fighting over the first boss and we couldn''t find him for a whole day. Usually I''m more ...... or maybe it''s always like that ......." "Follow me to the end." I mean, are you friends? "I got involved outside of here, and he challenged me to a game, and asked me to join him if there was a raid, and I think we exchanged patkas." A raid is a boss battle that is conquered by multiple parties. There are probably raids, but it has not been confirmed if there are any yet. I have heard from the staff that when they defeated a field boss in Fast, their names were broadcasted, and after that, Kuroyuri unilaterally declared a rivalry with them and got involved with them. Kuroyuri was the first person to defeat an area boss and a field boss in Sir. "I''m sorry to hear that, or at least I hope she''s a tsundere." I''m more likely to be a Yandere! I''ll try not to get stabbed. "Hey, that''s not a follow-up!" And I didn''t mean to follow you. "Well, let''s not talk about that, I approached you because I wanted to ask you where your boss was. I''ll pay you to tell me. They looked at each other for a moment, but Ochazuke answered immediately. "I don''t mind the money. It''s in the woods straight south of the city center, maybe less than an hour from here. "The woods? !" "Hmm?" "No, the guard who came out of the gate said something about demons to the west, so I''ve been looking for a meadow to the west. He laughs, saying, "That''s why I can''t find it. "Speaking of which, what''s the point of taking a downer?" Peter, who seems to have been caught by the woman''s comment that she hadn''t even been downed yet, asks, "What are you doing? "Oh, I''m not even getting a total H! If you do more than 5% to 10% of the total H!? "Oh-ho?" "Percentage is just a feeling, and I''ve only picked it up from fast and secant area bosses and bosses, so it might drop other things too. I''ve tried a few times with area bosses in Secan, so I''m pretty sure you get more items when you''re down anyway." He said he straddled the area looking for the Foss boss and hit the area boss in Secant a few times. The gatekeeper, he is a sinner. Is that the same thing with the steel? "Hey, hey, you got it? That''s amazing at that level." We parted, exchanging patkas with Roy, who said, "Let''s team up if there''s a raid. ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ More... Title.

"I have to blacksmith." "Help me hunt lizards when I get up there!" "Yes, sir." "Yes, yes, yes." "By the time I get up there, I''ll be able to dig for tama-hagane." On the way to the temple, I asked a resident how much he could get for it, and was surprised to find out that it cost quite a bit. I was surprised to find out that it costs quite a bit. I was told that it is sometimes brought in from abroad, but that it is not available in this country and can be sold in stores in the capital. < is even higher than that, and it is almost impossible to find it in this country. The difference in price between <> and <>,<> was close to ten times. I heard that <> can be found in the north of this town. If the selling price is ten times as much as the buying price, I wonder what the buying price will be. We decided to improve our production skills and put off exchanging all of us for now. "It''s going to be a long time before we can get anything other than <>, so we might as well convert them to gold and use the money to improve our production skills. After registering at the temple, we were looking for an inn as dinner was about to be served in the real world. After dinner, we will be free to do whatever we want, whether it be producing or fishing. The liberated towns are connected to each other by regular carriages. If you kill a boss, register a transfer stone, and use the transfer gate of the temple, you can move around in an instant, but the fee for this service is high. It is said that a user logged out in the carriage, went to bed in the real world, and returned the next day to find that the carriage had been left at the desired location. I wonder if there will be a lot of players sleeping on the cobblestones of the plaza. I caught a resident on the street and asked him where the inn was, and when I went there, I found Roy and his friends in front of the inn, beckoning me. Why? "Oh!¡¡It''s been a while!" Leo greets him without a trace of disrespect. "Ah, it''s been a while. I ran into the black lilies here earlier, and they were getting into so much trouble that I had to switch lodgings." "Bu, let''s not go in there." I agree, I don''t want to get involved. "I think that''s a good idea, my name is Shirayuri." She is a fluffy-looking beauty in a white robe. She is a thin blonde elf, slightly smaller than normal in stature. Her bosom, which is not exposed but has soft fabric flowing around it, looks soft as well, giving her an even fluffier impression. Her name suggests that she might be involved with black lilies. I am Dawn. This is a big stern man, though he is not so tall. He is a manly man with dark hair, dark eyes, dark skin, and scars on his face. "I''m Claud." This person is also human, and he has a cane, so he must be in the same profession or a recovery worker. "I''m Momiji," "I''m Kaede. They look like twins. Momiji is a boy and Kaede is a girl. They are the smallest in height, and unlike Kikuhime, Kaede has breasts, but not to the point of imbalance. They are both cat-type beastmen. They each gave their names and followed Roy and the others, who said they had heard of another inn. They had to replenish their supplies before going to defeat the boss, and when they went to the inn to rest, they met up with Kuroyuri. He learns that the residents will tell him the same inn when he vaguely asks them where it is. Next time, I will ask them about inns with good food and baths, etc. "I was asked whether I preferred the inn with a bath or the inn with good food, and I gave priority to the bath because I stayed in the field yesterday, so don''t expect good food. "Don''t worry, I''ll take the food from Homura." And beer after your bath, too, right? "You guys can go to ......." I don''t mind that I''m getting most of the ingredients, but you''re totally turning into a cook. And Shin, don''t reveal too much of your skills to others, you got pissed off by Ochazuke once in another game! But Shin is stepping on his foot with a smile on his face. Yes, he seemed to be having a hard time with all the rude production requests at that time. "Do you cook, Homura-san?" Shirayuri looks up at me and asks, "What are you doing here? "Homura," she says, "No need to say ''Ms.''" I reply, "No need to say ''Ms.'' at all. I don''t know why you''re making the food for the party. "Then you can call me by my name, too. I see that Homura produces while fighting. "I was just grilling Leo''s fish and everyone else''s meat that dropped in." "I''ve heard that it''s hard to improve production unless you get a rating of 5 or higher, but isn''t it hard to improve? Clough interjects from the side. Yes, you usually have to work hard to make low recipes. When you can make a recipe consistently, you move on to the next recipe and level up again. I''m sorry, I''m sorry. "Leo, is that the Leo you fished out of the Lord?" Fortunately, the conversation switched. "Maybe?" "Is it a maybe?" "I couldn''t hear the world announcement because of a bug." Singh comes to the rescue. "He says he''s got two titles, so I''m pretty sure it''s this Leo." It''s amazing he didn''t hear it himself." I had the impression that the strategy group was a dry, efficiency-oriented group that competed for strength, but Roy and his group were friendly and open. There are others like Black Lilies, but I decided to stop being prejudiced. He even apologized when the black lilies, who should have had almost nothing to do with him, got involved with him. "I did choose the bath," he said. I don''t think it''s necessary for the food to be self-serve. I''ll ask him where the restaurant or the street vendor is. "It''s too hard to go outside now, Dr. Homura." "I''ll give it to you, but I didn''t buy extra ingredients, so it''ll have to be pre-made, and there won''t be enough vegetables, okay?" "By all means." "Flesh and blood is welcome." Roy''s party is breaking down in what looks like a rest area with free-standing desks and chairs at the inn, where it turns out the meals are self-catering. Is there no cook here? "You can have some of that if you want." They will know that my cooking skills are a little weird, but it would be a little strange if I didn''t invite them here. "Oh, you don''t mind?¡¡Then I''ll at least offer you meat." Meat again. Let''s pick vegetables, pick vegetables. The meat we received was sheep sheep, which is definitely lamb. It was on the bone, so I thought it was supposed to be grilled as it was, so I made it into a herb-roasted rib steak. The only vegetable was watercress! By the way, the herbs are herbs that I bought to repel insects. Don''t worry, it''s also good with meat. And now, Shin and Roy are ready. They are having a conversation that, from the outside, seems to be going badly, and they are getting excited in a mysterious way. Ochazuke is drinking coffee while watching. Leo is already sinking after drinking a beer even though he can''t drink. Kikuhime and Dawn are drinking without any hesitation, but Dawn is a bit taken back by how much Kikuhime drinks. She is a good drinker, as they say, "Beer is water. She''s winning against the big guy! I don''t know what she gets out of it, though. And I served the loquat tart after dinner, and Shirayuri was smiling at me, but I''m afraid she''s still eating it. How many are you going to eat?¡¡I couldn''t help but make more! Peter is looking at the day lilies, and the twins miss him. Loli-shota! Peter looks at me with a shiver, as if he heard my heart. Rorikon I gave him a smile and a mouthful, and he was muffled. "Are you always like this?" Claud speaks to me. In his hand is a cup of tea with brandy, one of the few tea drinkers in the group. "It''s always like this, how about you?" "I didn''t know that Shirayuri has such a sweet tooth, let alone Roy." He is looking at me with concern, beyond a don''t-know-what. I''m raising the light level in the room with the light as well as raising my own light magic. They must think it''s a strange party. "Homura-san''s cooking is delicious no matter what you eat. Clau smiles and compliments me. He''s the type of person I''ve never seen around me before, and I''ve always wondered if he''s actually black-hearted when I see someone so calm. It is completely because of Ochazuke and Peter. Peter is not so much black-hearted as he is refreshingly awful. "I have yet to achieve a rating of 10, even with the initial recipe. Is Sheep Sheep a demon of secant?¡¡And please don''t call me that." "Thank you. You can call me by my name, too. Yes, I''m a demon widely distributed in the grasslands of Sekan. We used to have a cow on the farm. Are you from Sir? "No, actually ......" When I tell them that Leo wanted to have a big adventure and went straight through the forest to the north, they pause and then start laughing with their mouths clamped shut. Yeah, it''s weird. "No, excuse me. We thought that defeating new enemies and bosses was fun and an adventure, but I guess there are adventures like that. That sounds more fun than camping out on the streets." After a short laugh, he says in an amused tone. We then talked about novels in the real world, and we discovered that we share the same reading habits, so we had an unexpectedly pleasant conversation, sometimes becoming polite as we were caught up in Claud''s polite language. In the real world, my tone of voice is naturally different, and talking with Klaue is a trap that makes me feel like I''m revealing my true self. After all, talking with Shin was a lot of fun, we are going to defeat the black lilies before the black lilies!¡¡Roy and his team changed their plans to take a break after the defeat. I gave them a simple map that I had drawn and traced while looking at the map, so it should be somewhat easier to find the boss, even though there are no landmarks. We then packed breakfast for Claud and sent him on his way. "Well, good luck with the fight!" "Have a good day!" Thank you!¡¡See you later." "Well, I''m going to take a bath and go to bed. There were room and large bathrooms. The baths are open to the public during the daytime, just as the innkeepers at Fast open their dining rooms to the public during the daytime. At the moment, we are the only guests in the inn, so we are occupying the large bath. Kikuhime is alone next to me. I don''t think it would be a big deal if we took a bath together, though, since she is wrapped in a bath towel and is in another dimension. "I want an open-air bath. "I''m looking forward to the Japanese implementation." "Sake..." "I''d love to moon-watch sake in the open air - I don''t think I could do that in the real world." Give me a beer now instead!" Leo is swimming and can do whatever he wants just because no one else is around. "Homura is quite muscular - I couldn''t tell by his robe and coat. "Shin not only has stubble, he''s got shin hair, too." "It was a set with a stubble skin, so I used it as is." "Is Peter a thin macho man?" "Normal, normal. I''m an elf." Something about looking at each other''s characters. "Ha-ha-ha-ha!" Leo, well, he''s not going to say anything. Don''t splash us. After Shin and Peter are boiled, we get out of the bath and go to our rooms to talk about the day''s harvest. Don''t drink in the bath in the real world, it''s dangerous and you''ll collapse. "Oh, by the way, the bracelet you gave me was a Vit. I guess it''s the same. Are all the bosses in the town opening the same? "Lizard Slayer does 1.5x damage to lizards. Does lizard include dragons? No, of course not. "It seems like all the slayer types do 1.5x more damage and the whole party is compensated." "If there are six people, is it six times more?" No, that''s not true. "I''ve got a short cane from Dade Lizard, do you want to use it for oatmeal?" "Use it, use it." "I got a dagger. Do we all have different weapons?" Shin had a dagger, Leo and I had a dagger, and the rest had gloves. While Ochazuke and Shin exchanged their daggers and gloves, I exchanged with Peter. I don''t need either the glove or the dagger, so I just sell them off. "Speaking of which, what was Homura''s magic?" "[The power to turn] is the reward for the announcement of the release of the riddle. I''m not going to go into detail because it would be too much like explaining the riddle of the temple. "It''s nice and flashy!" "Please do it for the next boss. Ochazuke''s eyes look like 3 marks. I''ve finished preparing dinner during the day and just need to heat it up, I''ll take a bath when I log out, it should be morning here if I log in around 19:00. 24 - The City of Foss and the assassin Log in as scheduled. Notice. When acquiring a skill with special conditions, we have changed the specification so that the acquirer himself/herself will be informed of the conditions of the acquisition. Please note that if you obtain a skill after hearing the conditions from someone else, the performance of the skill will be degraded. Please note that if there are any conditions related to the mysteries of the world, you may not be able to acquire the skill itself. Another announcement about finding something on your own. I wonder what makes them decide if they heard it or not. I''m afraid that Mr. Visor might have some kind of lie detector effect. I wonder if he knows our thoughts. It is said that he corrects the details of the scenery with his memory. Is this the reason why the privacy policy in the user''s manual (Torisetsu) explains that even employees cannot see personal data other than game data? Roy and his friends were successfully defeated & I received an e-mail from each of them thanking me for the meal, so I send my congratulations back to them. Peter and Shin were there, so I sent them a greeting e-mail as well. Now, let''s find a stall that serves breakfast. We leave the inn after getting information on places that are open in the morning and that sell tableware. The town looks a little more remote than the fast town, perhaps because there are no large stores for players, or perhaps because there are no players in the fast town, which used to be full of players day and night. In the morning air, only the inhabitants of this world come and go. Is that it, the open-air bath, will it be reserved after the first defeat of the boss? For the first time, I want to be a part of the attack team. < Let''s sublimate our desire for hot springs by replacing it with fluff. As soon as I called him, he told me. > White on my left shoulder asks. It''s a nice touch. < I called you before breakfast. Since we have a time limit, let''s go shopping for tableware first. < White hunches over his shoulder. > <> <> White seemed to have something to say, but he kept silent without saying anything. We have no choice but to go to the workshop area with the conversation stopped. I won''t stop stroking him, though. > <<< Hmmm? >> White opened his mouth and started navigating. I decide to follow him without asking any questions. I follow the directions he gives me several times. > > At the end of the road was a large workshop with colorful tableware. It was overflowing with color, and frankly not to my taste. I leave the workshop with White, who has fallen silent again. I sit down on a bench under a big tree, move White to my lap, and make a cup of berry tea. > <<< Hmm. But there was never a time when an elf''s place was taken by a man. The woman did not have the character to take an apprentice either, he says, and begins to drink tea as if he has regained his composure. It seems that the woman was making ceramics. The time when the elves are replaced is the time when the white is sealed. > A beautiful sound when you flip it is porcelain. I was so sentimental about the past that I was scolded when I reminded him of the white. I took a sandwich out of my luggage and made another cup of tea for White, and we ate. When White returned and I was alone, I sat there for a while looking at the street. I got myself together and went around the workshop. I picked out six ceramic tumbler-like cups for beer for the party, one with a blackish unglazed inside and a bluish glazed outside, and another six with the same design but orange-ish. It seems that the party is for six people, so they are basically sold as single items, tripods, and hexapods. Next is a tea set, a set of white porcelain with a fine blue pattern near the rim. Then a tea set, a set of white porcelain with a fine blue pattern near the rim, and a couple of cups only. No coffee cups! I can use the same tea cups as before, but this is just for my taste. I''m sorry, do you know of any old porcelain stores?" As I pay the bill, I ask him if I can''t get a good deal. "The best ones are at auctions. But I''m sure you can find some half-used ones at thrift stores. Old dishes, old clothes, etc. for the less affluent. It''s not very safe, so be careful. A good-natured lady showed me the place with caution. We came to the antique street, buying more food on the way. In the real world, I would never go near a place where it is not safe. Many of the goods here seem to have been bought from somewhere and put out without being cared for, and besides daily necessities, there are many daggers. Are those daggers for Thief?¡¡The atmosphere is more like that of a stall in Fast, which is said to be not so safe. The difference may be the presence or absence of players. The people you see here look tired and downcast with their clothes in shades that seem to have faded from their original colors. The absence of players'' colorful hair and clothes gives the impression of the alley as it is. The player ducks a couple of pickpocket-like guys, and then looks at the stores. Mr. Sense and Sensibility is very active. He is a man of near maximum height, and unless he wanders into a more deserted alley, he is not likely to get into a fight. It''s early in the morning. They''re probably just sleeping. I look around for a place that sells tableware, avoiding the sales pitches, and I find this, a pale green bowl on a white background. It is a beautiful, if dusty, cup with a white porcelain background and plant leaves painted on the rim and in the center. Unfortunately, there is no saucer which is supposed to be a pair, but I found a small plate with a different design in another store, so I bought it. There are two types of plates, one with ivy pattern and gold borders on the rim and the other with leaf pattern on the four sides surrounded by gold writing-like letters. Both have a small green rectangle with a white animal mark on the base. I am sure of it, probably. Glad that not only the white one but also the other one had thought enough of it to choose white for the mark, I pay the store more than the amount offered and go to the temple. It would be a long time before we learned of the scary prices at auctions for this marked tableware. After purchasing the tableware, we go to the temple to move to the fast as soon as possible. I am curious about the quest that will take place in Fos, but there are some things I have not yet done in Fast. The temple is smaller than Fast, but it seems to have the same basic functions as the worship hall, the room for changing jobs, and the transition room in between. Since I was going to use the temple, I decided to enter the worship hall at least for the first time. In one large room, statues of gods are arranged in a circle. The statues themselves are on pedestals, so they are high, but they are only about half the size of me. I wonder if they sell them in palm-size. Well, here I am, back in the city of Fast. It''s probably too early to go to the used bookstore. Let''s go to the North District first, where I''ve never been, and start filling in the map. I must go to the apothecary''s guild. There are so many things I want to do but I don''t want to get on the wagon. I''m sorry, don''t you have a gateway to get around town? I ask a plump female priestess at the transition gate if there was one. She replied, "Haha, there is no such thing. This is a gift from God, you know. Apparently, a new temple was built, a stone plate was installed, and when a few priests performed the prescribed ritual, letters appeared on the plate and the gate was completed. The stone used for the plate itself is said to be expensive, but if it is a one-way passage from the temple to the plate, it can be made with a simpler ritual, and its sale is said to be a privilege of the temple. Even so, it is said that the price is too high for the general public to afford because of the time and labor involved. "I''ve also heard of an alchemical item called a < that can be used to move from outside the city to here, but I haven''t heard of one for use in the city. Oh, I didn''t know such a thing was possible. Wouldn''t a horse-drawn carriage be sufficient? The carriage is no good. I get drunk." "Oh my goodness, I have the [Intoxication Resistance] skill, but I won''t be able to get drunk anymore..." "Where can I get one?" "Well, I mean, we give them here as a penalty for bad drinking habits, right?" You want it?¡¡He looked at me like he couldn''t believe it. In the temple, there is a place where you can pay for an enchantment that lasts for about an hour before an adventure, and there I paid a fee and received the skill to resist drunkenness. The skill is basically given as a penalty, but sometimes a woman who also suffers from carriage sickness comes to the temple to get it. It is not a skill used in battle, so it does not cost skill points, but I got a lot of stares from people who looked at me like I was a man who could not get drunk on his own. I can''t drink to begin with! The enchantment of the temple was not an attribute grant, but a grant that increased physical defense and speed. I think this is the way to go around the temple of healers. I''m interested in it, but I don''t have enough skill points for it. I can''t get 3 points for 6 different kinds of skills! Well, now I should be able to ride the carriage, but I had never been to the northwest section, behind the temple, so I ended up walking. I had never been to the northwestern section, behind the temple, but I ended up walking there. The houses are more solidly built than those near the stalls on the southwest side, and seem to be of a higher grade than those on the other side. Even so, when you enter a narrow alley, you can see laundry hanging out to dry, giving the area a lived-in feel. And now I am in the assassin''s guild. Why? Please don''t build this in a residential area! "I''m not a professional shifu or a secret agent, am I?" "What about mage assassins?" Well, there are assassins who are doctors, and there are those who do things that are not suspected of being their official profession. I thought that was a profession that came out in Thief! The man says it''s important that we found this place. Medium height, featureless face, unrecognizable in a crowd. "And you''re supposed to be good with us, right?¡¡Just observing, because this place is covered up so you can''t find it." "I''m not too happy about the chemistry." What''s the use of being good with assassins! "You''re not a Thief, but you have a hint of darkness, without which you can''t enter this place even if you knew it existed. Darkness, yes. Not only dark, but also blessed. Maybe the blessing makes it absurdly easy to find. I thought it was a hideout restaurant because there were a lot of unspecified people coming and going, so I went in there copying the guys before me. It''s strange to knock three times, kick the door with your toe twice, and knock once more. It''s not Verna''s blessing, I''m sorry. "So, as long as you don''t break the rules, you''re one of us. There are five rules: don''t reveal the location of the guild, don''t reveal who the assassin is, don''t reveal the assassin''s skill, don''t accept assassination jobs without permission, and don''t reveal the details of the request. It''s easy, isn''t it?" You don''t have veto power? "Can''t I use my skills and have people find out about it?" "As long as you don''t tell them what your skills are, what they can do, and don''t try to sell out your friends, you''ll be fine. I don''t recommend you to tell people that you are an assassin. "What about when the Adventurers'' Guild asks you to take down bandits?" That''s not assassination. "Yes, I do." That''s why I became an assassin. The number of assassins has increased in the occupation column. No, three if you include production. As Peter said, the penalty for breaking the rules is that you can never be an assassin again, you lose the skills you gained by being an assassin, and the location of the guild changes so that you can''t enter the guild building even if you find it. Basically, it seems to be okay if your actions reveal that you are an assassin, as long as you don''t talk. I got the skill [Concealment] in a hurry when I saw it. It seems that the skills related to assassins and assassins will not appear on the guild card when I show it to people, and if the level of the other person''s animal demon appraisal is low, it will not appear on the appraisal result. If the level of the appraise is more than 10 than the concealment, it will be visible, but I guess it is still OK since I have appraised many things and I am currently at the 5th level. By the way, when I appraise the man in front of me, only his name and his occupation as an armorer are shown. "How do you raise the level of [concealment]?¡¡If there is a way to raise [appraisal], doesn''t that mean we have to actively raise [concealment] as well, or else it will be seen sooner or later?" "Yes, a lot of idiots get caught just waiting for it to go up naturally." He grinned and told us how to improve our skills. Basically, he said, it is something that is applied all the time just by taking it, but it is also possible to apply it consciously. He also laughed at me when I tried to put it on my guild card, saying that it is something you put on other people. He told me that some assassin skills are derived from acquired skills, while others can be released by doing "work.¡¡He immediately invited me to join him. "Don''t worry. This guild is not so much a legitimate guild, but we don''t take jobs without an intermediary from the Knights or the Adventurers'' Guild. There are guilds in other cities that are indiscriminate and will do anything as long as they get paid. I''m afraid of the second half. I''m glad I didn''t go into the wrong place in Foss. I take the offer because I am told that there is no penalty if I don''t disclose the offer. It was a request from the thieves'' guild to assassinate a bandit who had broken the code and killed in the city. It seems that the guild of thieves in this town is a legitimate guild that basically focuses on dungeon exploration and the like. The question is whether I am capable of killing people in this real world, even if it is a virtual world. I''m sure I can. If I can''t kill them, I''ll be pissed off at the first rabbit. It might be because of the effect that it turns into light and disperses. There will be humanoid enemies in the future, and there may be player-player combat, or perhaps there already is such a function, but I just choose not to accept it. Emotionally, I can''t kill innocent residents who don''t know anything, but if they are murderers too, that''s a different story. At that point, my thoughts switch to the game. If I kill, I must be prepared to be killed. The consumption of concealment is E! I''m going to continue to play hide and seek while I''m doing the animal demon analysis. We have to turn up the light of our magic. Unlike other magic, the number of magic available for darkness has increased to 1, 3, 5,. I thought that the number would increase with odd numbers, but when darkness reached 7, it learned nothing, and when it reached 2, it learned no more magic, so I guess that light increases in the same way as darkness. Darkness is good because it has shadow, but I have a fear that light magic will not increase unless I keep improving it steadily. M!? I have to take medicine as soon as possible. As I leave the assassin''s guild, I realize that I failed to ask if we assassins can talk about our skills with other assassins. Peter must have taken it. ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ More...

There are the residences of the four families of knights who follow their lords, their squires, and their soldiers. The four houses were in the past, and there are more knights now, so there must be new knight''s houses, but I cannot distinguish them from the squire''s house. The old houses of the four knight families are large, and unlike the town houses, they have large yards. Each of them is surrounded by high walls and iron fences, and the passageways between them are closed by gates in some places. Like the plaza, they are designed to receive the residents and prevent the invasion of demons in the event of an invasion of the city. We are lucky that there are no pedestrians on the street, so we stop to eat grilled fish. The trees in the garden, which can be seen through the utilitarian walls and iron fences, sometimes show their individuality. I am a little curious about the knight''s family who has planted laurel trees and fruiting trees. I''ve been hiding for a long time to avoid detection! After passing through a deserted street, you will find the lord''s mansion at the north end of the street. I greet the gatekeeper and peek inside, where I see a beautiful lawn and a red-roofed building in the back. I passed through the gate quickly because of the gatekeeper''s eyesight, and came to the barracks next to it. The only place I haven''t visited yet is the south corner. At the end of the barracks, there was an office with a reception desk facing outward, and I asked what it was. It was said that the residents'' appeals are heard here. I was told that I could experience training by a knight once a day up to five times for a fee, so I decided to take it. Would I be able to ride a horse? No, it''s not horses, it''s sword and shield training. Of course. I was asked to choose my weapon of choice, and since I only had one sword with me, I decided to go ahead with the training. I''m sure there are some swords available for loan. "Hi, I''m Tale. I''m Tail. "I''m Homura, nice to meet you." Tail gives the students one-on-one instruction. ...... I thought it would start with a long series of barehanded swings with an oak wooden sword in a corner of the training ground, but it did not. The speed of the fighting became faster and faster. If we got the order of the kata wrong, we might get seriously injured.¡¡Tail keeps hitting each other just as fast as I can keep up. E!? is visibly decreasing. I''m glad I ate earlier. After an hour or so of fighting, Tail draws his sword and I bow to him. I don''t even use my skills, but my E! I am wobbling around, my E! "You seem to be more of a speedy type, and since you are not suited for a forceful sword, I suggest you choose a skill that will allow you to use your strengths to your advantage and increase your number of moves." With that final remark, the training was over. I know that, but I have not acquired most of the initial skills, so there are no derivatives, and I have few skills to choose from, Sir Knight. When I checked, I found that [Swordsmanship] and [Sword] had increased by one level each. This is good, I want to go there every day. I''ll teach Kikuhime too. I know she wants to go boom-boom-boom with big weapons, but she''s raising her shield to take on the enemies in the party. I am allowed to take a break in the shade of a tree in the forge, watching the knights and soldiers training. The knights are individually polishing their swordsmanship, while the soldiers are repeating their group moves. E!? is in danger, so they are drinking berry tea. I refrain from eating solid food. While I was watching the training, Tail came up to me. "Excuse me, is it forbidden to eat and drink here? No, hydration is encouraged. We occasionally have people who take part in hands-on training, but most adventurers leave quickly after completing their training, which is unusual for us. Are you interested in becoming a knight? I''m interested, but I have no intention of becoming one. I have no one or thing to which I can give my allegiance. "Oh, I''m sorry." If I had answered "yes," would I have been on a course to be knighted in my profession? "Do you want a drink?" I offer you berry tea. "Tea?" "Would you have preferred coffee?" No, thank you. "The man who just took one from below with a scrape is Liv, a man of solid swordsmanship." Taille, as if to thank us for the tea, is explaining to us the match between the knights. "The loser is Lamp, who uses a powerful sword. Lamp is a stout man who looks like he has great strength. I mean, his legs are as thick as my girth. Ribs, on the other hand, is rather small in stature. "The two groups over there are Misuzu with the twin swords, and Nexu with the thrusting sword. Misuzi is the red one, and the two of them are showing off their brilliant swordsmanship of speed versus skill, but it''s a trap that sounds like the name of a ...... part of meat. Ribs and tails are both named after parts of the cow, aren''t they? Take a carriage ride, it''s a good way to get to the square. North end and south end. The result, skill is a wonderful thing!¡¡I went to the restaurant and bought recipe 9 for 9,000 cils. It contains corn soup, berry jam, and rabbit stew, and I can now cook "stewed" food. The recipe is 9, but thanks to the cheat-like number of specialties, the rating is at least 3 for "vegetables", "fruits", and "meat", so it is possible to get the recipe just by making each of them once, since there is no failure. But you will only really be able to make them. If the rating does not exceed 4, it is better to eat at a restaurant, although it is more expensive. I hate bad food. By the way, there are a lot of people sitting in the square, asking people to buy items. Is that it, or is this a voluntary bazaar for players to buy items while they are in Hoss? It seems that not only are they shouting, but they are also making what they are selling public by writing it in the comments section of the patoka. Won''t they be scolded by the street vendors for this?¡¡I got the impression from the story of the herbalist who was away from home that the secondhand bookstore was quite serious. I looked into the shop to buy production materials, and found that materials that would be used in the early stage of production, such as medicinal herbs and rabbit meat, were very expensive, while those with high rank as materials were inexpensive. It may be the relation between supply and demand, or perhaps there are many people who are buying a lot of initial materials in order to raise the production level. I was happy to be able to buy a large amount of cheap meat and fish, and was about to let out a sigh at the high price of medicinal herbs, when I was approached by a man. "Homura!" "Homra~" It''s a maple and a maple tree. "Hello. I thought you were Foss." I''m back to resupply. I''m back. Fast has more weapons than the others. "Fast has more armor than we do." Subtle secondary voice . "So..." "Can you sell me a dish? "Fine, but I''ve never given you a rating of 10, have I?¡¡And I don''t know what the market is." If you follow the recipe exactly, you might be able to get away with berry juice. "The 10 rating is rarely sold in the bazaar. "Even if it is sold, the Rank is not high, so the effect wears off quickly. "There are not many dishes for sale in the first place, perhaps because you can buy them at restaurants at a slightly higher price. "The effect of the addition is not very high either. "Barely any grilled meat is sold. "Only grilled meats are more affordable than in restaurants. "I like Homura''s food with high Rank of ingredients. "You''ll get hungry slower. "I''m hungry when I use my skills. "I don''t have to squirm in the middle of a battle." The twins talk alternately, and it is becoming more and more difficult to tell who is speaking, but the one with the monotone ending is Momiji and the one with the inflection is Kaede. The matching black outfits with short skirts, short pants, half coats and knee socks are quite cute. I prefer the absolute area to the bare legs. In summary, even a dish with a rating of 10 is not so effective because of its low rank, so I don''t think about the additional effect of rating 10 anymore, and just choose E! I want to have a high rank rice that will slow down the decrease of E! I will buy the ingredients and give them to you, please. "I''ll pay you 15 sil for each ingredient you bring in. "I''ll give you free stuff if you bring your own, okay?" That''s not how it works. "I''d like to ask you again next time. "The key to a long relationship is to be firm with your money. "I''ll pay that amount when I know the market price, so please give me an extra this time~" "I had 70 shillings with a Chotototz steak rating of 5!" "That''s a lot of money." "Chotzu meat is about 45 shill, isn''t that reasonable considering all the other ingredients?" "You can cook three slices in one go?" As expected, he thought he could only cook one piece at a time. I told him that I would pay him 10 shillings as long as he could cook and my level of skill would improve. We choose a dish that we can eat without having to sit down and cook it with the ingredients brought in for the time being. Chototzu and watercress sandwich, French fries, fried white fish, Margherita pizza, cookies. At Kaedemomizi''s request, berry tart, coffee, tea, beer. Apparently, the party is divided into several groups. While we are cooking at the edge of the plaza, Kaede buys some of the ingredients that are missing from the bazaar at a stall. I cook while replying to the texts from Ochazuke and Kikuhime telling me that they have logged in. "Beer is not ready soon, so I''ll start with what I have on hand. Also, taste the spaghetti." I have made more beer for about three people, so I can give it to them from what I have on hand, and instead I stock up on the ingredients they gave me for replenishment. The cooking level has been raised one level, and the spaghetti is an extra treat for Kaedemomizi. It''s a hassle to do the bazaar by myself, and the purchase of N! I thanked them at the plaza and headed for the guild. I remembered the reference room on the second floor and wanted to check it out, but I wondered if it was open. I was relieved to find the Adventurers'' Guild more empty than I had expected. The first impression of the guild was so strong that I could not get rid of the image of the place being crowded even though I have come here several times to report on my visit. I went to the counter and asked the receptionist for her name. "Sorry, can I use the reference room upstairs?" Yes, you can. Yes, you can use it. There is an attendant inside, so please ask him. Please note that eating and drinking are not allowed. "Thank you." "Thank you very much. You were the one who helped me clear the crowd a while ago, weren''t you?¡¡Thank you for your help. My name is Plum, please give me a call if you need anything. I didn''t expect to be remembered, but I heard that professionals in reception can memorize a person''s face in one shot, a skill I could never have. "Thank you, I am Homura. By the way, there is an adventurer''s bazaar in the plaza, is it all right?¡¡I just took advantage of it earlier." No, you can''t. They''ll take it down. You will be caught red-handed, so as long as you don''t use it in the future, you''ll be fine. Wow, that was close. "The commercial guilds have allocated the rights to the trading places, but there seems to be a problem with just banning it, so they are currently preparing the southwest area for the adventurers'' bazaar, so if you are interested, you might want to show up now." "Thank you, I''ll go there before I go to the archives." I don''t intend to become a merchant, but I want to be informed. The guild of commerce is across the main street from the guild of adventurers, facing the square, of course. It is amazing that they are selling illegally right in front of the rightful owners. In that situation, it would have been difficult to tell whether it was a bazaar or a friend-to-friend exchange, and the exchange with Kaedemomizi would have been dangerous. I had sold most of my things at the Adventurers'' Guild in order to raise my adventurer''s rank, so I had never visited the Commercial Guild except for a peek at its lobby. There is an information counter in the middle of the lobby. There is one staff member inside the counter and two others outside in matching uniforms. "Excuse me, I would like to know about sales by adventurers. Yes, not for purchase, but for sale. Let me show you around. One of the people outside seemed to be giving me a tour, so I followed him. On the first floor, the side facing the plaza seems to be the sales area, and the side facing the street seems to be the purchase area. I was led to the third floor and brought to a very massive door. "Guild leader, an adventurer is here to discuss a sale. Wait, why are you suddenly at the top? Are you busy?¡¡Are you busy, guild leader? 26 - 24. Commercial Guild Here we are at the Commercial Guild. Here we are at the guild leader''s office. What the hell! There''s a stern-faced guild leader in front of me. A dandy, a dandy, but in this case, a bitter-looking dandy. "Do you represent the adventurers?" "No." Negative immediately. What''s a representative? So you''re a proxy? No, adventurers have no representatives. We are a group of individuals. "Well, how can a group of people be hunting, producing, and doing the same thing without representation?" "Yeah." They choose games that they want to play, and their behavior is similar. If you want to play fighting games, go there, if you want to play farming games, VR is the game for you. The guild leader is puzzled. They introduce themselves to each other, and often discuss their differences in perception. "While you are enriching our town by dropping money into our production facilities and stalls, you are also causing trouble for the town by holding your own trade in the plaza. I''ve just made a request to the Adventurers'' Guild to speak with their representative, but it''s a bit tricky when it''s a group of individuals." He sat down on a sofa in the guild leader''s office, drank a cup of tea, and talked about the current situation in a casual manner. A secretary-like brown-skinned woman is standing diagonally behind the guild leader. She seems to be a problem for the town, but not for me. Well, the population of the town has suddenly increased by more than double, so things about adventurers may be a bit bland. There are also those who do nothing but produce, who don''t stop by the Adventurers'' Guild. So the bazaar in the square is still a nuisance? Yes, it''s not good to have the place occupied, and it''s not good to have the trade completed only by adventurers. We have been trying to warn people regularly not to buy and sell, but to no avail. I was just about to crack down on it when you came along, and I thought I had arrived just in time." "What do you mean you''re fixing up the stalls?" I don''t know how to tell you this, but it''s about to be done. I don''t know if they''ll comply with the new rules, which will require a fee, and will be away from the gates where people pass through. "If there is a place to buy and sell, even if for a fee, and if there is a penalty for policing, I think they will comply. If you pull some people from the bazaars that seem to be popular into the stalls, they will buy and sell there. "We are considering that. We have set penalties for sales outside of designated areas, including fines and the inability to buy and sell at stores belonging to commercial guilds for a certain period of time. However, it may take a long time for a group of individuals to spread the word and take root, don''t you think?¡¡There are a lot of adventurers who drop money in this town, and we don''t want to make things worse because of a lack of prior knowledge." Adventurers seem to be a subtle presence in this city. "I think it''s going to spread rather quickly, don''t you?¡¡Even though it''s a group of individuals, we have a way to contact them." It''s going to be talked about on message boards, message boards, message boards. "Is that so?¡¡Then let''s proceed. I mean, we have to proceed. "After that, in my opinion, it would be great if you could sell on consignment. As an adventurer, I''d rather wander from place to place than do business, so I''d rather not be tied down by a customer." "The bazaar in the square is very popular because you can do it whenever you want and as much as you want, I guess." "I guess that''s part of it. Once the location of the stalls is decided, they are likely to move the bazaar to the side of the stalls where the customers will gather. The guild leader again looks difficult. "If you really want to manage a group, you could sell land and buildings only to those who register as a group, and you''d have a group in no time. I would like a house too, but it would be expensive to own a private house. "You can''t sell land to those who don''t live there, because land in the city is limited. It is possible to rent it out. ......" "Adventurers love to build their own base. I think they''ll sign up even if we charge a fee for group registration and make it a little more expensive." I wondered if there was an adventurers'' guild or a commercial guild, if it would be called something other than a clan or a guild, and I showed my knowledge of the game. "What?¡¡Let''s consider a joint effort with the Adventurers'' Guild." "Please listen to my random opinions only half-heartedly. By the way, where should I ask about the stalls?¡¡That''s what I came to ask about." "Are you going to be selling too?¡¡What kind of things?" "If you need me to watch the store all the time, I''m out, but if I sell something, will it be food, drink, or medicine?" "If you have it, could you give it to me?" Feeling slightly embarrassed, as if it were an exam, I serve him a chototzu sandwich and a cup of tea with brandy. "What''s this?" The guild president lifts a bottle of brandy to eye level and looks at the amber liquid inside. He wants to prepare a small bottle for tea, but when he makes it, it comes out in a large bottle, and he does not want to transfer it from bottle to bottle, so he keeps it. The size does not affect the number of bottles stored. I would like to have small bottles, but I would rather have a special barrel. "It''s the liquor you put in tea to flavor it." Where did you get it? I made this one, too. Is brandy out of this world?¡¡I''m trying to pinpoint the bite. "The recipe for the brew is so rarely available that it''s practically a monopoly of King''s Landing." Boom!¡¡It was the liquor itself that the guild leader bites!!!! Is liquor salt and tobacco a state monopoly? "Is there a problem with individuals handling it?" No, there is no legal problem just because the recipe is not available. But if people find out that they can make it, they will be lured away from King''s Landing and eventually there will be no one left to make alcohol in this city." It sounds like a lot of trouble. "I don''t have a choice, I''ll stop dealing with alcohol. No, as a guild, we want you to handle it. Especially since the amount of liquor other than beer and wine is low coming from King''s Landing, we would be glad to increase the distribution of it. I don''t want any trouble. "Then why don''t you consign it to the guild?¡¡We''ll lower the consignment fee, but in exchange, you leave it up to the guild to decide who to sell to and what the fee will be." "Will I be restricted from selling?" No, I''m not going to do that, so don''t worry. And if you want to quit, you can do so, though you will have to give me a little time. "I''m afraid that''s too convenient for me." The guild leader responds by leaning forward a little. I don''t want you to be lost to King''s Landing, I''ve never seen this wine before and the quality of wine deteriorates when it is moved. I tell him without reserve that I have an ulterior motive: if I can handle this rare liquor, it will strengthen my ties with the lords and other important people in this city. The more you handle the tangible things, the less rare they become, and the more rare the food gets, the more people get tired of it. Unlike other foods, sake can be eaten every day and never become boring, so it is very useful. In one breath, he drinks my tea and pays lip service by complimenting me on how good it is. "And since you mentioned it, I thought I''d accept consignments from other adventurers. I''ll give you a price range and let you decide how much to sell within that range so that you can control the market to some extent. If we charge a 5% fee for consignment sales, and the price for adventurers'' stalls is free, with a fixed cost based on the number of days, those who are confident in their ability to sell will go for the stalls. He seemed to have settled on a policy while we were talking. If you don''t want to show your face, you can hire someone to open a store when you earn some money and can afford it. If you are willing to distribute alcohol in the city, the guild of commerce will be happy to accommodate you. If you want to consign, please identify yourself at the reception desk so that we can talk about it. I feel like we''re talking about something bigger. "There''s a limit to how much an individual can make." "It would be nice to have a scarcity." He smiled and said, "I''m sorry, but I can''t help it. I told him that there was a possibility that someone other than myself could also make the same kind of product, but he said he would have to negotiate with the person who could make it. I got the title [Economic Leader]. We are writing to inform you that a player has negotiated with a commercial guild for the right to buy and sell. This information is hereby disclosed. From three days from now, the commercial guilds will be able to sell their products on consignment and players will be able to have their own stalls. The exchange of money and goods when buying and selling will be easier and safer. As of today, the Commercial Guild will begin renting out storage space. As soon as I left the guild president''s office, an announcement was made. Wait, wait, wait, this is the most f*cked up thing I''ve ever heard. Also, isn''t this an absurdly public situation? Are you self-conscious or what, but I''m going out the back door. I''ve been involved in this situation because I''ve seen the annoyance of Ochazuke, who became famous among players in another game, and I''ve been asked to introduce him to other players, and I''ve been envied for being his friend! Cuero, the secretary who escorted me to the exit, asked for the back entrance and directed me to the service entrance to the west retail area without going through the lobby. The effect of the title was a 5% increase in the selling price and a 5% decrease in the buying price, and the consignment fee was 3% instead of the usual 5% commission. And I got the guild leader''s patka. By the way, his name is Mos-Vawer, which must be some kind of fast food. I can only call him "guild leader" because it sounds funny! I took a big detour back to the plaza via the road behind the arms and armor shop, where I found a buzz of activity among the players who had opened a bazaar. I walked by them, listening, but not paying attention, and I could hear them talking. "The official sale is here! "You mean I have to pay to move somewhere else?" "Consignment sales are convenient if you don''t have to be there the whole time to sell." "They''ve been patrolling for a while - it would be nice if there was a place and a system to prevent item fraud." "Today, as soon as I handed over the goods, there was a thief who ran away without paying. It seems to be generally well received. I wondered what to do if many people felt they would be kicked out of this place. It was almost lunchtime, so I walked across the square and entered a restaurant. I ordered a hamburger steak and a cup of tea, and resisted the temptation to lie down on the desk. I wonder why so many events have happened in the morning. I''ll spend the afternoon in the guild''s reference room and the used bookstore. The hamburger steak was served with a lot of demi-glace sauce, and I ate it with bread with the sauce. I think I can make Japanese style hamburgers if I have daikon radish. It''s not Shin, but I want to eat Japanese food here soon. I don''t need formal Japanese food, but I need soy sauce. I should have asked about rice at the guild of commerce: ......! The field boss in Phos has been defeated by Black Lily and 5 others. I was relaxing and then the world announcement came. Black Lily''s party has defeated them, I guess strong is strong. The reward for the daylizard was a bracelet that increases the amount of mining. Then what would be the reward for the same Hoss''s torrent? ...... I''m not envious of you! After a leisurely meal by ourselves, we move on to the Adventurers'' Guild. The commercial guild has a lot of players coming and going, probably due to the announcement made earlier. They are probably here to apply for storage and to hear about consignments and stalls. It was unnatural that there had been almost no players in and out of the guild, considering that it is a building of the same size as the Adventurers'' Guild. From the next three days, the guild will be crowded with people applying for consignment sales and the like. I will apply for storage when it becomes available. "Thank you very much for your help earlier, Mr. Plum. Wait for the receptionist to free her hand and talk to her. "Did you hear what I said?" He responds with a smile. They have beautiful receptionists. "Yes, it seems that some other adventurers are also coming to the commercial guilds to ask about sales licenses. "Oh, thank goodness. The plaza is also a shelter, and the Adventurers'' Guild has been warning people about it, but we''ve been having a hard time getting them to listen to us. I guess we need to prepare not only a warning but also a countermeasure. "Right. Then I''ll use the reference room this time." We head up the polished staircase to the reference room. The guild, the inn, and this room are all made of wood, and the polished floor reflects the magic lights on the walls. It must have been carefully maintained over the years, or perhaps there is some magic in the cleaning process. I am not a tidy person, and I wish there was a magic of cleaning and tidying in the real world. I hate tidying up and I wish there was a magic of cleaning and tidying up in the real world.

The attendant in the reference room is a man with glasses. He was a thin man with a hunched posture, looking like a type-addict. The room was filled with bookshelves and shelves full of books and stacks of papers. "Is there anything you recommend that I should look at?" "I would recommend all of the materials here, but I think the ones people want are the monster distribution maps and the weak points.¡¡For me, it''s <." "Well, let''s get to the point. And if you have distribution maps, do you have maps?" I can give you a map of the country. May I copy it? "For private use. It''s illegal to sell them, it''s a felony. "Is it against the national interest?" "Yes." He smiles and hands me a book. It is understandable that having other countries know the topography of your country would be a hindrance to your national security. It does not seem to make much sense when adventurers are going from place to place, but there may be areas that will soon be restricted. "You don''t have to return the <>, since I copy them as a hobby and distribute them to those who wish to use them." "As a hobby?" "Yes, I come to the library and ask for recommendations from adventurers I like. I''m very selective." The contents were travel knowledge. I learned some life magic! , a glass of drinking water, and other assorted magic not related to attacking or searching for enemies. The <> is not necessary since it is fun to light a fire with a fire mouth, but it will be useful on rainy days or in snowy mountain fields where it is difficult to light a fire. It is a useful magic for those who have some magical power in this world, and it is said that many people have learned it. Well, I can take water and food out of my pocket, so it is just a hobby for me to do many things manually, such as making a bonfire. I think the atmosphere is important. Oh, and <>, I think it''s great!¡¡I don''t have a room of my own in this world though! I was getting excited on my own and Al was smiling at me: ...... I was sold a pen and paper for copying and started tracing. It''s pretty detailed and there are even contour lines in it. You can omit them if you like, but let''s be serious here. It should be reflected on the map. You can see that there are five cities and eight villages in this country, including the capital. And two mysterious caves and a marker that looks like a ruin. I feel like I have more work to do. After three hours of work, I have finished copying the map, and I think it looks pretty good. I greeted Al, the archivist, and left the room. I am hungry as I continue to cover up my work as usual. Since eating and drinking are not allowed in the reference room, I went to the cafeteria on the first floor to have a meal, delivered the deer skins, bearskins, and other items that I had requested and which I did not seem to use, and went outside. Plum was probably taking a break or something, but there was no sign of him at the counter. By the way, the magic available in town is healing, light, and shadow, in short, it seems that offensive magic is not available. I try to cast them when I notice them. Now, before we start mixing, let''s go to the used bookstore and buy the book. We have already replenished our supply of seasonings and vegetables, since we asked Kaede and Momiji to buy them on the way. I would like to buy a new walking stick, but I have a feeling that I will run out of money for the books, even though I sold the bearskin for a good price, let alone the deer skin. I bought the recipe for stewing, but I should have bought it after my level had been improved a little more. The used bookstore is still a place you might miss if you don''t recognize it as such. I wonder if other people can buy the books I bought and lost?¡¡I''ll cry if that book is already sold. Good evening. When I greeted him, he glanced at me, raised one eyebrow as if to say "you again," and immediately turned his face back to the book he was reading. The owner is as unsociable as ever. I quickly get the book I''m looking for and sit down to read the rest of the book. I sit down on a round chair in the corner and read a few thin books. They seem to be picture books for young children, and I finish them quickly. The next book I picked up is a story about how this town came to be. It is written in the style of a story about an adventurer and his adventures with his friends and how he came to build the town. It is a little dark to read the fine print, so use the magic of the light. It is tempting to bring a cushion for your chair, but when your buttocks start to hurt, it is time to pull up. Otherwise, I will be reading forever. "These three books..." There is a book about the gods, a compendium of magic, and a book about medicinal and poisonous herbs. I really wanted more, but I decided not to. When I offered him the money, a black leather book with no title or description was piled on top of the three books on the counter. I looked at the book pusher and wondered what it was. "Here''s an extra, bring me 2,200,000 shillings by the end of the next 10 days and it''s yours." "What?" You''re talking out of your ass, man. And why such a large sum of money with fractions?¡¡I don''t mean to brag, but my highest possession, even when I got the prize money for my first defeat, was less than 50,000! "It''s not just a book. You have wind, light and dark magic, don''t you?¡¡Then you should be able to open it." I open the book, wondering what it is. I have acquired the skill [Lightning Magic]. Woah? "If you read the book, you''ll see that magic has supernumerary magic, supernumerary of one attribute and supernumerary of a combination of attributes. That''s wind, light and dark combined." "I''m not at all sure I''m going to be able to pay it off." But I''ve mastered it, man. You''re gonna have to earn your keep. He put his face back in his book and wouldn''t look at me again. I leave the used bookstore and think. I wonder if the amount is level x 100,000. The price of << Moon Wing Grass> is 100,000 sil for N!C. I sold all 10 of them, including the one collected from the root, and finally got less than half. However, there is no producer who can deal with <<> at the moment, so there is no hope for them to buy it. The price for selling to the residents was also a good price, but the price for selling to the players in the future when there will be players who can handle < will be different from the price for selling. It is possible that it is just a cheap material with a high item level and no demand. We could try selling alcohol until the last minute and then take the plunge and sell off all the items that we don''t have enough of. ....... If I can''t pay, how will I pay them back? I don''t think it''s right to just return the books and be done with it. I have come to the artisan district because I was thinking of buying a new cane before I stopped by the used bookstore. I can''t make a big purchase now. I thought I would stop by the apothecary''s guild at the east gate and try to improve the production of the concoction I had on hand. Homura!" Galahad is waving at us on the other side of the road. Next to him is a man with white hair and cool eyes and a glamorous woman with dark hair. "Hello, it''s been a long time. "Oh!¡¡Have you raised your level? "I''m 22." "Oh, this is Eagle and Camilla." He turns his head and points at them. "Eagle." Camilla. "I''m Homura." They greet each other by briefly introducing themselves. "By the way, Homura, do you drink? "No, I don''t drink. Is this an invitation for a drink? "You can''t drink? I even got him to say he''d think about it if he won the drinking contest, but he''s so strong." "I really want that blacksmith to strike the sword to get to the lower levels of the labyrinth city, and I''ve been trying to convince him to do it by going past where he stopped striking the sword. ......" Camilla further takes back that Eagle supplemented Galahad''s story. "No more sword strikes!¡¡But recently, he said he has a man''s sword he wants to strike first, and he seems to have changed his mind. "But we were the ones asking for it before. He said he''d hit us if we won the drinking contest. Galahad says and sighs. "Even this guy can''t get drunk, he''s a monster." "Oh, I don''t drink, but I don''t get drunk.¡¡It sounds foul, but can I help?" "I don''t drink, so I don''t get drunk?" I''m sorry, I shouldn''t have said that. "I''m not a drinker by nature, but because of my skill set, I can drink and not get drunk." I never drank even after taking the skill, but I never got carriage sickness, so I would not get drunk. "Yeah, yeah!¡¡What a waste. £¡£¡£¡£¡£¡£¡" "Hey, what''s wrong with you, did you make a mistake with your drink?" "No, I get really coach-sick, so I took it. I don''t like to drink, so it''s no problem." "You''ve lost half your life!" "Shut up Galahad!" Eagle puts a shot into Galahad''s body to shut him up. A hand comes out with a verbal warning, and it''s a pretty good one. "So, Mr. Homura, can you help me with this?" Eagle smiles coolly at me, Galahad cowering at his feet, clutching his stomach. Camilla doesn''t see past their exchange. I wonder if this is the daily life of the three of them. Galahad''s image of a dependable big brother has changed a little, though not in either direction. "If you can beat him on skill, it doesn''t matter..." That''s how I ended up at the drinking party. And I''m in a very familiar alley. "Hey, old man!¡¡I''m gonna win this time!" Galahad shouts at the door. "You''re bothering the neighbors!" Eagle elbowing Eagle. Yeah, it''s just routine. "You''re here again, guys?" An annoyed Luba opens the door and our eyes meet. "Hello." "Oh!¡¡Homura." He smiles and opens the door wide. Now that I think about it, the inhabitants of this world, unlike the player characters, do not have much variation in hair color. Black, white, platinum, gold, brown, red, and orange. "Do you know him?" The three of them look at me with surprised faces. "Yes, we met here once." We enter the house, which looks like a hideout, as we are invited in, and are offered a sturdy chair that is designed for practical use first. The thick stone walls and flooring suggest a blacksmith''s shop in the back of the house. Even the floor is made of stone, perhaps because of the fire. "Have you become a magic swordsman?" Luba serves coffee to a group of people. "Yes, I''ve become one." I hardly ever fight with a sword. "So, you want a one-handed sword?" ...... Huh? "It''s me!" You! "What, you''re not here to make swords?" I told him why I came here. "I''m only level 10, so I''d like to ask you for a good weapon when you get it." I''d like to ...... "No, ask now, ask now, and then my sword!" Shut up. Yeah, that''s a good punch. "Homura, it doesn''t have to be just one punch, okay?" "Oh my God, you''re so handsome!" I really do! I mean, why they like me is a mystery. Camilla poured Ruba a beer, one she had bought for him to compare. She asks me what kind of sword I like to use and I tell her I''m currently using a slightly warped sword, which I''m good with. He laughs and says he''s good with swords. "If Homura is a magic swordsman, I''d like a metal that can channel magic. "I''ll take one that can slice a fel fasi in the labyrinthine city, please." Galahad jumped on the bandwagon, but what is a fel fasi? "Fool, if you want a sword that can cut that thing, you''ll need and as materials!¡¡You''ll have to use your magic to defeat him!" "Eh!¡¡There''s hardly any out there!" This? <. Why do you have """"? I was so surprised. "Two days ago?¡¡I picked it up in the forest." My sense of time in the real world is mixed up with my sense of time here, but I''m pretty sure I got it on my first night in the woods. What about the moonlight? I''ve been mining a lot. Galahad is very upset. "Two days......, now how many days are left?" Remain? "What, you don''t know? < and is called the Tears of the Moon Goddess, and it dries up in seven days, which means that what you need to collect will be gone. It is said that they leave them deep in the woods where no one can enter, after the goddess dances on her whim at night under the full moon." Luba explains. "Yes, the Moon Goddess, or rather the Goddess of Darkness, was dancing." "You saw it? It was beautiful. "Oh, come on, seriously?" "You''re the god of fortune, aren''t you?" Camilla just kissed me on the cheek. And Galahad, stop banging on the door. "Let''s go digging and collecting. Unless we''re in the middle of nowhere, we can make it in the next five days. "Oh!¡¡Homura, please show us the way. From what city?¡¡Where''s closest?" It''s almost a full day north of here. "Can you mine?" Ruba asks Galahad and the others who are excited. "You don''t have ......." Galahad was fishing, Eagle and Camilla were collecting. "I could go with you, but I think you''d still need a thing or two more, don''t you?" "Thank you." Eagle then pours Ruba a beer. The image of this young old man is more like sake or scotch than beer. "I''ll hire someone." Galahad says, scratching his head. "You''re going to get ripped off, aren''t you?" Camilla is also tipping a mug of beer, but her sensational red lips still don''t match. Is Galahad the only one who looks good with a beer here? "You can''t change what''s on your back, man." < is expensive to buy and sell among those who want it, and < will be no different. I''m glad I didn''t get impatient and sell it first. Yeah, but we can''t rip off Galahad, and if we''re going to pick it up now, we''ll have enough of the <> in the first place. "As I said before, why don''t you just use your magic to defeat them?¡¡Your daughter there uses magic by the looks of her, doesn''t she?" Luba asks. "I''m trying again. It does some damage, but when it gets hit by magic, it takes a recovery action and doesn''t go down. "You need <>, which drop when you are down." "Ordinary physical attacks are impervious to Fel Fasi, but I looked it up and found a story that you got a drop fighting with a sword you hit him with." Silence falls at the end of Camilla''s words. I e-mailed Ochazuke and the others and asked them about it. They replied that Ochazuke and Shin had already sold theirs, Peter had taken a blacksmithing job and said he would keep it, and Leo had recklessly used it in production. I had no intention of forcing him to sell it, so I thanked Peter and told Leo not to be reckless!¡¡He replied, "I''ll give you a rating of 5 for your weapon of choice!¡¡Wahahaha!¡¡But I can''t equip it, it''s not at the right level!" I got a reply. Luba said that he was good at sword making and I remembered that Leo had apprenticed himself to a blacksmith. I guess after all my friends who went with me sold theirs. I''m running low on skill points right now, so if you want to help me level up, I can mine for you.¡¡Would that time be more than enough?" "Oh!¡¡Thank you Homra!" I avoided Galahad''s attempt to hug me, and Camilla hugged me from the direction I avoided and kissed me on the cheek. Camilla, are you a kisser? The elasticity of the breasts against my arms and back is amazing. You can guess how big they are by the fact that they hit my back. "Surely, Homura, you''ll be up to our level soon enough, but are you sure?¡¡Even though we''ll probably get ripped off here, money can fix that, but money can''t buy skill points, can it?" "I was going to take it later, but I had originally planned to take it, so it''s okay. I''m going to put off acquiring swordsmanship skills until next time. I mean, I have a bracelet that increases the amount of minerals I can mine. "Oh, then I can get moonlight stones for Homura." "Okay, if we raise more than just one level, we can get the skills we''ve been putting off!¡¡Let''s go on a boss tour!" Galahad''s tension is high. "Yeah, if we just do the bosses we''re going to see soon, Homura-kun will be able to get up to speed." You failed to mention to Eagle that we don''t need "you", but what power leveling is that anyway? "You have a deadline, don''t you?" I''ve got transportation, I''ll take care of it!" "I can start fighting bosses tomorrow morning and then go pick up the stuff at night." What kind of transportation is that? "In that case, I''ll prepare other materials and the furnace during the day. That''s what happened. ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ More...

I was also made to drink, but my impression was that it was spicy, bitter, and throat-burning. Galahad says that if you drink enough, you''ll learn to appreciate the taste. I exchanged Patoka for Eagle, Camilla, and Luba. I''m glad it was fixed, I wonder if anyone sent me a request. Speaking of mail, I sent a mail to Ochazuke and the others that the place where I took <> will remain until 5 days later and that it is expensive. If they are willing to do so and have enough skill points, they will get [Mining] or [Collecting] and go to get it. In the morning, I go to the east gate before the meeting time. I''ve already logged out once, and I''m off tomorrow, so I''ll be fine even if it''s a long day. Because of my early arrival, the three of them have not yet arrived. I had breakfast with White in the morning and went for a walk. White has already returned. We stayed at a small inn that Luba had told us about, which is used by local residents. The inn that Galahad and his friends are staying at is still full of adventurers. We went to the apothecary''s guild to replenish our potions and see what other medicines they had on hand. "Oh, no. There you are." When the meeting time came, I went to the gate, and this time I found the three of them and Ruba. Did Luba go out of his way to see them off? "Sorry, did I keep you waiting?" "No, you''re right on time." "Take this." Luba hands me a sword. "Thank you, but I don''t have any money, okay?" "I haven''t used the furnace for a long time, so I used the ore I had left over to test it out. I made it so that the magic effect would not be lost, but it''s not for sale, so don''t worry about it." "Thank you." He took the sword that kept being offered to him and smiled. "Oh, good luck." With that, Luba quickly walked towards the alley, apparently for this very reason. "Wait a minute! I was surprised to see a slender sword handed to me. It is five times stronger than the sword I have now. It also has and on it. Luba seems to have turned a corner, but I can''t see him anymore. "Isn''t this the strongest weapon of its rank?" "As expected of a divine artisan!" "Isn''t this the strongest weapon Homura can have at this rank?" All three of you seem to have high ranking weapons and don''t seem too shocked, but not me, okay? I was so surprised that I was sweating while holding the sword. Or rather, God''s mastery? "You were ready to hit Homura''s sword when you got the <>. What kind of awesome thing is coming?" "No, I can''t equip it, I can''t equip it." "The reason why <> is so valuable is because it can''t be harvested, but it can also be used for medicine, but when used in weapon and armor production, it has the effect of removing equipment restrictions, you know?¡¡Instead, only the owner can equip it, so it can''t be bought or sold." Eagle dismisses my denial. What is that cheat when I myself am not getting stronger at all. "I know, I tried to get him to lend me a sword that has a track record of defeating Fel Farsi, but he wouldn''t let me." Galahad''s laid-back voice. "It has <> and <> or something like that. ......" "It''s amazing that a weapon of that rank has two effects on it." "<> I wonder what kind of magic stone it comes from." When I asked him why the magic stone is mentioned there, he told me that some magic stones have an effect to give special effects to the finished weapons when they are used in the production of weapons and armors. There is a case of failure, in which case the effect may not work, or it may have a negative effect, or the performance of the weapon itself may be reduced. I think it''s time to go. After walking for a while out of the east gate, Galahad stopped and said, "I''m sorry. We are well off the road. "It''s good, isn''t it?" I looked at the three of them, unsure of what was good for them, and Galahad threw something that looked like a jewel. It gained mass before falling to the ground, and by the time it reached the ground it had turned into a tiger with bright orange fur. It was probably bigger than a normal tiger. As I rolled my eyes in surprise, Eagle and Camilla each called out a wolf-like animal. "Introducing, my cavalry tiles!" Galahad says, slapping the tiger-like creature on the neck. It is almost as tall as Galahad''s face. "It''s Hagar!" The Eagle Rider is a white wolf-like creature. "It''s an Uruk." Camilla''s is a black wolf, all three are strong, beautiful creatures with lithe limbs. Good thing I have the sobriety skills. Behind Galahad, I''m being carried on a tile, and we''re speeding a little ways off the road. He''s going fast! The tiles are very supple and almost do not sway up and down, but the road is not level. In fact, it is not a road. We pick a place where there is a foothold in the marsh and move as if we were jumping. It would have been a terrible experience if I had not had an anti-sickness medicine, but now I feel rather refreshed. After an hour or so, we arrive at the field of Sir, where the boss is. We decided to go to Secan first since there seemed to be a lot of people there, and we planned to fly to Hoss and beat the boss of Hoss and the boss of Secan after that. ....... I had to accompany everyone except me, even though both Sir and Secan had access to transfers. I got off the tile and walked to the boss''s appearance point. The landscape has changed from marshland to forest. The trees are thicker and straighter than in the forests south and north of Fastbrim. No wonder Sir is a town of woodworkers. "Where do the cavalrymen get along?" "Getting along, huh?" "We caught him in the Land of Isle, which is further east from here." One on one, to the death? You have to fight them, show them how strong you are, and make them obey you. "It was pretty tough. It might be easier if we go now, and maybe we can get a faster cavalryman, but my partner is Hagar." "Me too, I''d rather have an Uruk." "Likewise. I don''t want to spread it too much because some idiots will fail and kill them. "I''ve already had people come to me at the fast, asking me to kill them or something." I had a suspicion for a moment that the "take it even if you have to kill me" was a joke, but I dismissed it when he said it was a sticking point. "I''m sure Homura will be fine with it. Camilla winks at me. All three of them seem to care very much about their cavalry. "Next to this country. I guess you have to rank C first to move countries." How old are you? I''m still in D. Next time, you''ll get a C. It''s too soon. "It gets a lot tougher from C onward...I miss it!" As we were talking, we came to a lake. In no time at all, we were on our way to the boss battle. For Galahad and the others, the boss here is probably not much of an enemy, and there is no time to prepare before the battle. The boss was a gigantic dung beetle. Is it better that it is not a spider? "[Full body blow]!¡¡OLLIE!" Suddenly the boss is floundering under Galahad''s blow? "[Astute]!" "<>!" Eagle''s one-handed sword skill looks sophisticated, is it just a little gesture of using the same skill that gives a different image, or is the [Astute] skill elegant? Camilla''s magic is flashy. A circle moth, a beetle, is floundering in the flames. It must have been damaged by combustion. "<>! I pulled out Luba''s sword and swung it horizontally, a test to see if it would work. It doesn''t seem to be very strong for a magic that is said to be of higher rank. Even though I''m using Luba''s sword. It''s because the three of us are too out of the ordinary! "Lightning!" How can you use it? "Is that something you can learn at that level? Huh? I''m surprised. I got the title [Bug Slayer] for my first solo defeat. I got the as a reward for my first solo defeat. I got the title [Solitary Adventurer]. I am pleased to announce that Sir has been killed solo. With this, I am making a disclosure. If you defeat a boss solo, you will receive a title and an item for the first time you defeat the boss, and an item for defeating the boss. Please note that partners other than the player, such as <><>, are not counted in the number of people, so please be proactive in inviting them. Yes? The boss was defeated without any trouble at all. Circle Moth Shell x4 Circle Moth Breastplate Ruby x 10 Ring of Quickness Transfer stone <. These are the usual loot. Yeah, I''m escaping reality. Don''t the residents hear the world announcement? What''s with the solo defeat, it''s a party of four! And three out of the ordinary people, three! I mean, we''re still going to be taking down bosses now. £¡£¡£¡£¡ Is the game balance okay? £¡£¡£¡£¡£¡ No, no, no, no, no! It didn''t feel like much of a boss battle because there were three substandard players who treated the boss like a slightly stronger mook!¡¡Three substandard people! "What an outlier!" "Why do you have both [light] and [dark]?" "What kind of priest has two divine blessings?" "[Lightning] is almost unheard of nowadays. I only know one other person who can use it. "What''s an assassin, an assassin? I know that patka doesn''t have a crime symbol, so it''s treated like a dungeon thief." "Even the food is brewing..." This is me moving from the boss''s pop position and being appraised by three people. I feel like sitting on my ass. ....... They call me substandard to substandard, but I''m not strong enough to be called substandard! "Even if they say I''m not up to standard, I have a lot of things, but I''m not strong." "Of course not, when you''re in the 20s. What''s going to happen to me when I level up?" "[Solitary adventurer] Homura, have you ever even soloed before?" It''s a title I just received: £¡£¡£¡£¡£¡£¡ The effect is that when soloing, H!? The effect is a natural recovery of H! The way the M! "I''m especially jealous of Verna''s blessing. Rare drop rate increase. "It works for the party, right?¡¡If I want a rare one, I''ll come and grab it." Hmm? "I thought Verna''s Blessing was a correction for good luck and an increase in affinity with the dark attribute. ......" "That''s part of it, though." "Homura is still at a low appraisal level, so you don''t see it, do you?" "Oh, I see." "There''s no way that the blessings from the gods are just a slight increase in status." "Even that would be horrific if I had it from this level." Val''s Blessing] increases the skill growth rate and [Verna''s Blessing] increases the rare drop rate for the party. I was about to relax, thinking that I didn''t have to cover up the assassin, but is it necessary or even essential to do so? "Let''s just get to C rank as soon as possible, shall we?" Galahad puts his hand on my shoulder with a very nice smile. "And give me the hard-to-get items." "At this level, it''s hard to get skilled." Eagle smiles and puts his hand on the opposite shoulder. "I''d like to meet the higher spirits of wind and darkness for now. If they are compatible with each other, the chances of meeting the higher spirits will increase. Camilla crawls her finger under my chin. How did this happen? I register for the transfer stone at the Temple of Sir while being teased. But I got the barrels at the barrel shop between the gate and the temple! The <> negates instant death damage, and once used it takes a day for the effect to take effect again, but I''m glad it''s not a consumable item. We continue on to Hoss for a rest at the tavern, and next is Mr. Dade Lizard. I will let you know. The Dade Lizard has been defeated solo. It''s playing, world announcement: ....... You have earned the title [Lizard Slayer] for your first solo defeat. Since the Lizard Slayer has already been acquired, a higher title in the < family will be granted at random. The title [Dragon Slayer] is granted. I got the , the reward for my first solo defeat. Yeah, this one was over in no time. We were so close when we fought yesterday! I got back the gloves I sold off, and the ring of strength was duplicated. I learn that you can''t wear the same ring twice. I''ll pass on the title of dragon slayer, which I''ve never had. I don''t. I don''t. "Oh, you''ve leveled up, haven''t you?" "Oh, now I can get [mining]." Spend 2 skill points to get [Mining]. "I''ll be safe at night." They put me on a tile again and moved me to the secant. It is just before midnight here, just after 10:00 p.m. real time. There were still a lot of people logged in, and there were a few parties at the boss pop-up location. There was no need to wait for them to pop, since the fight would start as soon as they entered the boss field, but they were probably either checking their equipment before the boss fight, or checking the loot after defeating the boss. "Can you wait a bit until the rest of the party is gone?" World announcements are the enemy. We were lucky to be in a place far enough away to let Tile and the others return undetected. "Hmm?

They would probably ask us to join them. The three of us thought that would be too much trouble and decided to wait. Apparently, they had been insistently asked to exchange patkas at Fast''s inn, and they were very angry. Yes, it''s a mystery, isn''t it? I thought I saw him choosing the three adventurers as the residents whom he could call conveniently and getting involved with them. I''m sorry for the trouble I caused with the cavalry. By the way, "N!?C" sounds like "residents", "players" sounds like "gentiles", and "management" sounds like "our god". It may be quite embarrassing if you say "operation" or "management". Or maybe it''s a case of quarantine, or maybe he''s not so dangerous because there is a god in this world. Before that, please don''t say "You''re a N! While we were waiting, we sat in the shade of a tree, eating bolognese for lunch and drinking beer with assorted sausages. The distance and the height of the grass are so high that we are not likely to be seen. They would have been caught by the presence detection, but they would not have bothered to look at the players. The people disappeared from around us, so we started to fight the boss. After the boss battle, Camilla and I are supposed to shadow the boss. Hopefully there will be no one around when we exit. The second boss was a big goat with four twisted horns. His pupils were blushed and his face was quite vicious. I was sometimes rushed indiscriminately, but it was not a problem. I was surprised that even Galahad used recovery magic, let alone Eagle and Camilla. The amount of recovery was different among them, Camilla, Eagle and Galahad in that order. We did not share the same roles as I used to do with Kikuhime and the others. Galahad and Eagle catch and deflect attacks that are directed at Camilla or myself. We do not have a fixed target on either of us. They look like they are having fun! It may be safe to fight according to a rigid theory, but it is mostly work. Galahad and his men are free to fight as they please, without the slightest fear of being attacked. I have an announcement to make. The Sekan has been defeated solo. I got the title [Beast Slayer] for my first solo defeat. I got the , the reward for my first solo defeat. I got Yag Yakul''s pelt x4. I got the cloak of Yag Yakul. I got 10 pieces of goat''s wool yarn. I got the ring of dexterity. I got the transfer stone <. As soon as he leaves the boss''s field, he shadows himself and Eagle. Camilla seems to have shadowed herself and Galahad as planned. The members of the party can see each other through the black haze, but no one else can see them. Fortunately, there seems to be no players, but just as you are saying this, you see two parties coming toward you from across the meadow. "There really are a lot of people here, even if it''s a town. "It''s like when a new dungeon is discovered." I wonder if all the secateurs are full? "Let''s get out of here and move to Hoss. You can register Homra later. Yeah, sure, that''s fine. I was a little surprised to find myself in the temple of Hoss the next moment, thinking that I was going to be moved by tiles. I was told that this was due to the effect of an item called a "return stone," which was different from the one registered in the temple. I thought I would not have time to use my skills since the boss was defeated so quickly, but it seemed that "not having to worry about the surroundings" gave me a lot of leeway and I could try various things. I was able to try many things. I was able to raise my skills quite a bit, and even the magic that I did not use in the battle earlier was also raised. I wondered if it was because a small amount of experience was distributed to those who used the same type of magic. "Well, let''s finish up!" "I just realized, why don''t we just fight a series of daylizards?¡¡And I don''t have to move." I can''t stand the thought of consecutive solo defeats. "Yeah, let''s open up King''s Landing!" "Defeating four bosses is a requirement for promotion to C rank." Eagle explains. "If I had an old man make me a sword, I''d be stuck in the labyrinth and never come back. "At first I was thanking you for taking the trouble to get me the information about the and the [mining], but I want you to come to the labyrinth city as soon as possible." "Oh, I can see Galahad going to Fast for Homra''s food and drinks, can''t you?" Camilla teases. "Because I''m sure Homra will grow up to be very interesting. "Okay." I can''t say no if you ask me this, and the only way to do that is to be strong. We fly north on Foss to Faina, the capital of Geers. Tiles are so cute! In no time at all, the landscape behind us is a mixture of forests and fields, and it is only when we look into the distance that we realize that it is gently hilly. After an hour and a bit on my feet, a distance that would take more than two days to cover on foot, I could smell the tide. As we crested the hillside, the ocean filled our field of vision. The scenery is great, the scenery is great. The boss is not pretty! "Finally, a rare boss!" It''s a nice way to end the day! I never knew there was such a thing as a rare boss! The boss''s name is Fire Polyp. It is covered in fire and splits up. Normally it is a water polyp and fire does not damage it. The boss looks like a jellyfish, floating in the air like a translucent, puffy, semi-transparent gyuhi. What''s not so cute is that a round ball of splitting polyps chases random targets for a certain period of time. If you deal a certain amount of damage to the split polyp, it will come back together again, but I''m the only one running away while it attacks. Not cool. I''ll let you know. Fire polyp in Faina has been defeated solo. If the name "fire polyp" is mentioned, does it mean that there will be a separate solo defeat of water polyps? If so, there must be solo kills of other rare bosses. I''m glad to know that I''m not the only one who can conquer a country solo, but I feel too guilty in this situation. I got the title of "Gerslayer" for my first solo victory. I got the reward for my first solo defeat, a . I got Fire Polyp Mucus x4. I got the glove of the fire polyp. I got the magic stone of Fire Polyp. I got 10 fire polyp eggs. I got the ring of intelligence. I got the transfer stone . Two levels up at once, I''m now at level 25. I am now 25, but I am not strong at all. I am not strong enough to handle a great sword like Galahad''s and crush anything that stands in my way. My goal is to become a refined swordsman like Eagle. And magic like Camilla. When I catch up to their level, will I be able to say that I have become strong? I''ll do my best. Return to Foss. It is just before sixteen o''clock, and I have really defeated the boss in a day. I feel a little guilty because I didn''t do it by myself, but after all this time, I''ll just rejoice! I''ll have to check my loot later! We move to Fast, have dinner at a restaurant, and go to Luba''s house. "If we go now, we will reach just in time for sunset. "Well, I''m looking forward to seeing the Tears of the Moon Goddess for the first time. "I hear it''s beautiful." "It''s true that the circle where the grew was beautiful, glowing faintly in the moonlight." Ruba is riding in the Eagle''s Hagar and I am being carried on the tile again as we ride through the forest. I wanted to pick up a loquat on the way, but I couldn''t say anything, so we just kept running and arrived at the point. "It''s fantastic, isn''t it? "Yes." Eagle and Camilla argue. When I had only been collecting, all I could see was the pale, fleeting silver glow of the , but now I can see a harder, colder silver glow than the . This must be the << moonlight stone>. "Oh?" "Hmm?" Camilla makes a questioning noise, and Galahad, who was stroking a tile, looks at Camilla. I looked at Camilla, too, and then I looked in the direction where Camilla seemed to be looking at something, and there were five black things that had not been there before. "He''s talking to me! He shouts in a whisper. "Is this some kind of Homura event?" "That''s the only dark blessing I can think of. At least I don''t remember it." I don''t have one either. "Same here. I was only half-joking, but it looks like you really have met the spirit of darkness." < If you ask me to choose: ...... One is a beast, a black beast like a wolf, the color changing from black to purple at the end of its tail and limbs. One is a humanoid, a beautiful woman with black wavy hair and purplish skin. One is bird-shaped, with large black wings that turn purple toward the tips and eyes like purple crystals. One is a beast, a black cat with wings and purple eyes. One is a bird, a black owl with a hand-held crown as long as its body. "I wonder if each of you will choose one of these?" Eagle says. "Maybe so." "I''ve never met a spirit of darkness before, let alone another." "Bong, bong, bong." About one person had a different opinion. Mr. Galahad, you''re a good man, a good man, but I''m not so sure I can say so. "You can choose one of the homura." "Well, for what it''s worth, you came out with the blessing of having a homura." "I''m not sure what I want, so why don''t you just tell me what you want? If it''s covered, we''ll think about it." Galahad was a beautiful woman, Luba a cat, Eagle a wolf, and Camilla an owl. "Then I''ll have that bird." "Are you sure?" "Well, I can use my own magic to attack, so I''m happy with a spirit that can do what I can''t do myself. That bird is cool." "Thank you. The closer you get to a spirit, the more compatible it becomes with your attribute, so you should call on it often to get to know it better. The more compatible they are, the more powerful their magic will be. Camilla has other spirits with her. Will her magic be more powerful?¡¡...... is a trap where darkness has not yet learned offensive magic. Each of them was asked to go before the spirit of their choice and name it. "Kuroyoh, how about Kuroyoh?" When I told him my name, he happily put his own forehead on mine and disappeared. "I never thought I''d be a genie at my age." Luba chuckles to himself. "I have a fire spirit, but this is the first time I''ve had a high level spirit with a name. "I have fire and medium water spirits. I have fire and medium water spirits. I''ll have to figure out how to use the M! "I have been using fire magic because I am a high-ranking fire spirit, but from now on I have to use dark magic too. I''m glad I didn''t choose light in the temple when I was just starting out!" The three of them encountered a fire spirit together. I guess it was like when I met a water spirit with the tea pickles. After that, they went back to the town with Galahad using the return stone after collecting and mining respectively. It seems that we can get a lot of things, such as cavalry and other animals, as we go on. <, only one piece could be obtained in one digging session, and the number of times it could be obtained in a circle was 10 times. Thanks to the bracelet of <>, I have obtained 20 pieces. I gave and to Luba and we broke up. The three swords will be ready in six days. As expected, there was not enough < for the three swords, and Eagle''s sword would be mixed with the ore called blue mithril that he had brought with him. I offered him to use the < for my sword, but he refused. He also gave me a dizzying amount of money for the <>. No, Galahad and the others are N!C, but it doesn''t seem so when we are working together. "They helped us to raise our level and the price is good. "I''ve got a high-ranking spirit of darkness, I''d rather not pay more than I have to, wouldn''t you say?" "Yes, the leveling up is the price for having [mining] done. The dark spirits are worth it." "Don''t worry - these men and I are still earning money in the labyrinth city, so take it. He handed me the sill. I tried to give it to Luba as payment for the sword, but he wouldn''t accept it either, saying that he had obtained the spirit. He said, "Besides, I''ll get it from the redhead over here. You can use the money to buy a spare wand, this sword doesn''t convert magic very well. At least I left some beer, wine, brandy, bourbon whiskey, and a few bottles of my own liquor. By the way, each cost 1,000,000 shillings. Galahad and Eagle paid for eight out of the ten Ruba mined and the twenty I mined. Yeah, I didn''t think it would be 8,000,000 shill. .......

I run into the commercial guild, which is open at night, to see if they do gold deposits. "Yes, we offer storage for rent. Yes, we have a rental storage service. It costs 300 shillings a week or 1,200 shillings a month. After the expiration date, you will only be able to withdraw your money and after three years, the contents of the storage will be donated to the commercial guild. We will inform you of the expiration date and the day before your donation, but we recommend that you recharge your account before going to dungeons or other places for a long period of time. "Also, the consignment shills, which will be in service in two days, will be exchanged through this storage facility." The receptionist explains the situation. I pay for ten months'' rent and immediately deposit the amount I owe the secondhand bookstore and the sil for new equipment and production. The storage capacity is 300, and sil can be deposited separately. Additional storage capacity can be added for a fee, and withdrawals and deposits can be made at the main branch of the commercial guild, which also includes production facilities. Past experience has convinced me that adding capacity is a must once you start production, but it is not necessary just yet. The guild card will be used to identify each individual''s storage space. The first step is to deposit all production materials except for foodstuffs. Next, check your equipment. The king of Chototsu dropped a smoky silver-colored , which looks reddish in the right light, two black-colored from a Dade Lizard, a silver-colored from a Circle Moth, a gold-colored from a Yagyakul, a silver-colored from a Cirkmoss, a gold-colored , and a greenish-colored <> from a fire polyp. For now, I wear three on my right hand and two on my left. I play with all kinds of rings, but only the <> are missing. I wonder if all of them are effective or not, or if there is a counteracting effect or not. I wonder if there is a preferred finger. Solo rewards are <>, <> which increases speed dramatically, <> which increases dexterity, <> which strengthens the fire attribute and adds resistance to fire. Probably, the solo defeat was assumed for a long time to come, and the performance is outstanding compared to the equipment available now. These are for solo use for the time being. ......, if you equip them and move, they are so powerful that you will know you are crazy. For now, I''ll just put on the < and put it away in my initial item pouch. I wonder if it is possible to register a set for equipment change. and are on hold. I saw some rings in the bazaar, so I guess they are OK, or maybe not. I''ll take off two of them. I''ll ask Shin if he wants the <> when things cool down a bit. Now that we''re light after depositing the big money, it''s time to start mixing up the potion. Players are not allowed to tell each other the answer to the riddle, but they can ask the residents. I''ll go to the apothecary''s guild and ask if they have any "specialty concoctions". I will let you know. The field boss of Faina has been defeated by Roy, Claus, Kaede, Momiji, Dawn, and Shirayuri. Oh, Roy and his friends are doing their best. I am pleased to hear the familiar names in the announcement that came over the wagon ride. Unlike me, they''re legitimately strong. The apothecary''s guild is still brightly lit at this hour. Most of the players have probably made it to the second floor, but most of them are using the gates of the temple to get back to the convenience of the fast city. Since it became widely known that the gates of the temple cannot be used without defeating the boss, people have been moving to Secan, where the boss is weaker than Sir. "Excuse me, I would like to ask you about the medicine..." "Yes, what is it?" "Are there any particular strengths or weaknesses in the use of medicines?" I get a guild official and ask him. "Yes, I don''t often hear that I am not good at something, but I do hear that I am good at a certain line of work. It is said that the first time you use a medicine has a great influence. The other is the strain that you made for the first time under the guidance of someone. It seems that you learn more from the medicines you have learned than from the medicines you have used. "I see. Thank you. But it''s too much trouble to go out of my way to find you and ask you to become my apprentice. "The guild can introduce you to someone, or you can choose a trial course." Oh!¡¡I can choose my own specialty? I was happy, but the course was H! I was pleased to see that the courses were only available for H! Potion, and Poison Elimination. I went by the rule of my specialties and found that the H! Potion, M! I think you can get more than one from the potion you used at the party, so it is better not to take the course. If I had to say so, I would choose the course of poison remover, which seems to be less popular, but in my past games, I have always left the poisoned body alone and when it decreases to a certain extent, I have taken H! I have always been the type of person who leaves the poisoned body alone and heals it at once with the H! I originally chose this job because I wanted to be able to make my own food at a reasonable cost, and I wanted to be able to make my own M! I was originally a person who chose this job so long as I could make enough for myself. I don''t care which one you get if it''s M! The guild would be grateful if you could take the poison remover. Seeing that I had lost interest in the experience, the staff member spoke to me. According to him, the H!?M!? He also explained to me that the recovery system is not for adventurers, but it is necessary because it is easy to make medicines that are effective against common diseases. ...... Well, if you look at the bazaar, you will find H!?M!? There are many people who specialize in production and are good at H! It is not that H!?M!? It doesn''t mean that you can''t make potions. I don''t care so much about the quality of production. Okay, I''ll take the poison-removal course. "Thank you very much." "Oh, you''re my student." Sorry it''s so late. My name is Homura. It''s nice to meet you. When I went to the room of the course, I found an old man with a bent back, and I was a little worried. I''m Pieg. I am Pieg. Well, let''s see if you can make it according to the recipe. Here are the ingredients and tools. What''s with the sudden declaration of abandonment?¡¡Oh, well. If I have the recipe and the tools, I can make it. It''s a trap. I bought the recipe before I went to Foss. So instead of making it from the menu, I''m going to make it by hand, though it takes a long time to do so. I''d rather have a mortar and pestle than a pestle and pestle. "Hm, you can already use [Extract], can''t you?¡¡What about [time acceleration]?" Pieg, a medicine man who had been sitting in a chair watching me work, asked me. "If you use [Extraction] and [Time Acceleration] in cooking," he said. I was thinking that the work went very smoothly, and I was surprised that [Extraction] was effective even in manual work. Then, let''s shorten the time by applying ¡¾Time Acceleration¡¿ to it. There are also common operations in medicine, cooking, and alchemy. I apply [Time Acceleration] and finish the work as you said. "Now that I''ve shown you the exact procedure, I''ll do what an instructor does. With these words, the old apothecary gets up from his chair and moves to the work table. "Let''s see if you can give me the finished poison remover," he said. When I handed him the finished poison remover, he looked at the color of the liquid, smelled it, and nodded his head in satisfaction. He confirms that the poison remover he made with his gloves of skill has a rating of 10. The first 10 was a medicine. The effect of 10 is that it can be used without any loss by taking it or by being exposed to it. Usually the amount of recovery of medicines depends on their rating. In the case of poison remover, rating 1 is rather poison, rating 2 removes poison with 1% chance, rating 3 removes poison with 20%, 4 with 50%, 5 with 60%, 6 with 70%, 7 with 80%, 8 with 90%, 9 with 100%, and so on. However, this is the rate when taken orally, that is, when drunk, and the effect drops to two thirds if it is used to douse party members in battle. When it is doused on a party member, the recovery rate is 100% only at a rating of 10. H!?M!? potions have a fixed base amount of recovery, and the amount of recovery depends on the evaluation. The amount of recovery is determined by the rating of the potion. potion sold in stores has a recovery effect of 100, which is also the amount of recovery at rating 4. The amount of recovery is 60 at rating 2 and 80 at rating 3. The amount of recovery is 110 at rating 5, 150 at rating 9, and 1 is poisoned if it is treated as a failure. The recast time is 5 minutes for rating 4, 4 minutes and 30 seconds for rating 5, 4 minutes for rating 6, 3 minutes and 30 seconds for rating 7, 3 minutes for rating 8, 2 minutes for rating 9, 1 minute for rating 10, and 8 minutes for rating 3 or less. If used before the recast is over, the poison will not be recovered and will be poisoned. I think Ochazuke mentioned that there is an urban legend on the bulletin board that the basic amount of recovery varies depending on the method of preparation. "You''ve done well." The old apothecary, who had been watching the poisoner for a while, turned to me. "You''ve done so well that I don''t have anything to teach you. So I will teach you something else as a service. He then begins to lay out additional ingredients. He was too shy to even stand up a moment ago, but his hands are vivid. "Now, this will prevent it from poisoning you before it poisons you. He handed me a , which, if taken, would make the poison ineffective for a certain number of times. Just because he couldn''t get the anti-poison rating of 10, he made a medicine that exceeds the rating of the anti-poison itself! "That''s great." The only thing I can say is that I made it quickly and without delay and it had a rating of 10. The benefit of a rating of 10 was that it could be used in combination with other resistance medicines. "I''m not getting any older!" "Thank you for your instruction." I finished with recipes for poison-resistant and anti-poisonous medicines. I registered [status restoratives], [prophylactics], and [pills] < in my specialty concoctions. Grass. No, I guess it means that I can handle herbs better, like medicinal herbs or poison suppressants, but it''s surreal to hear it said in a few words. I borrow the production facilities of the apothecary''s guild and start mixing. If you are mainly a fighter, your level is only increased by the experience of your main job. Players who specialize in production can raise their level by production, but I, whose main job is a fighter, can only raise my skill level by production unless I change my job to another one. Players who are mainly engaged in production can also raise their skill level only by fighting. Unlike cooking, there is only one recipe per recipe. Unlike cooking, there is no need to follow a recipe once to make it, but only to know the ingredients. You can make a dish without a recipe, but unlike cooking, many of the ingredients are unknown to you. However, without cooking skill, you can make medicines, although they are less efficient and have a lower evaluation, but it is against the law to make medicines if you are not qualified to make them. In addition, it is a Russian roulette game that poisons are mixed in with the medicines other than those with a rating of 1. I took out some medicinal herbs from the storage and made some H! potion from the storage. The number of potions is 1 for each herb and 1 for each water. All the herbs in large quantities are turned into potions. The recipe level is 1, the rank of the ingredients is low, and the evaluation is almost 10. The gloves of skill are various. Next is the M! Potion, which is a little quicker because of the lack of magic berries. The poison remover was purchased since there were no materials available. I make a few more to make an antidote. The old apothecary gave me 3 bottles of antidote and serum. The price of the serum was much higher than the other ingredients sold in the store, 200 cils. Without the money and the gloves of skill that Galahad gave me, it would not be worth the price for leveling up. I would use it though! I thought serums didn''t harden?¡¡The antidote the old apothecary made was in the form of pills, ...... serum, but it seemed to be something completely different from the real world stuff, something in powder form when I took out the one I had bought. I bought it and found that it was something in powder form. Since it is a pill, it seems that it cannot be used for party members in battle like an antivenom, but I guess it is because it is something to be taken before becoming poisoned. I guess I have to leave the poison remover behind as well. The evaluation 1 is poison, the evaluation 2 is a 1% chance to remove poison twice, 3 is 10% 3 times, 4 is 20% 4 times, 5 is 30% 5 times, 6 is 40%, 7 is 50%, 8 is 70%, 9 is 90%, 10 is 100%, and the pills with high chance to remove poison can be made. As long as the poison is not eliminated, the judgment of the poison elimination seems to be made for a set number of times. Recipes for fire extinguishers and antiseptics are purchased and produced. Half of the recipes are also replaced with preventive medicines. The anti-combustion medicine and the anti-viscous medicine are now made, but the anti-viscous medicine is liquid for some reason, and the description says that it should not be drunk. Apparently, it is to be used by pouring it on the body. ...... H!? I made a life-activating drug with 3 bottles of H! The serum was made from three H! It seems to be a medicine that restores a small amount of H! Potion is also used to make a magic potion. I am very happy that we can now do both of these things. The highest rating of the prophylactic medicine I made was 8, even though the ingredients were all rated at 10. The old apothecary who rated 10 is indeed a true professional! I would like to work hard to get to the point where I can make more 9''s at least. I need to buy herbs from N!? The price of the potion is 6 cils for the purchase price and 5 cils for the sale price. The price of the potion is 6 cil. Potion making does not raise the level anymore, so you can buy H! I thought of buying the potion at a store and making a life-enhancing medicine, but the store-bought H! I remembered that the store-bought H! I made H!? The same goes for the M! I made 99 potions at a time, which is the maximum number of potions I can make at once. I kept the 9 potions with a rating of 9, which are rarely produced, for the battle, and made 10 active medicines with the 10 potions with a rating of 10. Thanks to this, the number of active medicines with a rating of 9 has increased since I reached the level of mixing more than 10. Taking advantage of the availability of sil, I made 10 bottles of H! and M! and M! potions, and made life-enhancing and magic-enhancing potions for a long time, and raised the rating to 11. The level of alchemy was raised when I reached 10. I heard that the level of "crafting" derived from "blacksmithing" was raised together with the level of "forging" when the level of "blacksmithing" was raised to a certain level, so I guess the experience of "crafting" is also transferred to "alchemy". By the way, it was Peter who took the [workmanship]. I wonder what he''s going to make. ...... dark ware? Next, I would like to improve my alchemy, but I have to do it by myself since the recipe is not sold here. Basically, there are no recipes for the higher level and complex production jobs that are derived from the initial production jobs. ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ Increase specialty concoctions Pills for restoration of condition] [Preventive medicine] [Pills] <>. ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ Homura Lv.25 Rank D Occupation Mage Swordsman, Pharmacist (Assassin) H!?¡¡¡¡730 M!?¡¡¡¡927 STR 36 VIT 22 INT 49 MID 17 DEX 18 AGI 26 LUK 16 N!?C!?¡¡Galahad] [-] Title ¡öGeneral [Interactionist] [Power to Turn] [Mystery Revealer] [Mystery Revealer] [Mystery Revealer] [Mystery Revealer] Economic Leader] [Lone Adventurer] [Lone Adventurer] [Lone Adventurer] [Lone Adventurer] [Lone Adventurer Blessings of the Gods Val''s Blessing] [Verna''s Blessing Slayer type Lizard Slayer] [Bug Slayer Beast Slayer] [Gel Slayer Dragon Slayer Skill (5s!?)

It is just after 23:00 in the game and before 24:00 in the real world. It is too much of a hassle to go out and come back in, so I log out once, take a break, and go out to the southern forest. I am hopeful that I can make it alone since my level is higher than when I played as a shield with a swordsman. If not, I''ll just run away. On the way, I tried to fight with a snake. I took anti-venom and life-enhancing drugs to prepare myself in case I was bitten, and nervously pointed Luba''s sword at the snake. It was a blow. What was I so nervous about! No, I was able to kill it in three attacks when I was in the party, so I guess I was too scared of my first solo battle. I was standing there, worried about the outcome, but then another player came by and I moved on. It was a single blow. The poison frog. It''s not so much the level of my skill as it is the fact that I have Luba''s sword, gale boots, and gloves of skill. I don''t know whether the sword''s attack power comes from its speed or its dexterity. We''re hunting wolves now. The black wolves are now outnumbering the gray wolves in the daytime. The gray wolves that accompany them seem to be much stronger than in the daytime, but that''s not a problem. The Beast Slayer is working. H!? Natural Recovery] does not heal during battle, but [Solitary Adventurer] heals H! M!] is recovered every certain period of time. It is once in ten seconds. In addition, with the life-activating medicine, I recover even when I eat, and as a result, my H! I feel like apologizing to the wolves. I''d like to apologize to the wolves, but it''s not good to eat them all at once, so I took the [Avoidance] skill. The H! I am aware of my low defense. It seems that both [Evasion] and [Body Art] have no level, and they seem to be skills that make your movements smoother and smoother with each experience, just as buying a book increases your knowledge and you learn the patterns. It is true that if [Evasion] is activated just by standing still, it would look like something contrived. Or should we call it a skill that improves athleticism? When he invokes Kuroyoh, he uses , a skill with a defensive effect, and his body and equipment glow a pale purple. The consumption of M! The best magic I can use now is level 5 enchantment, and it costs M! Once I summon a spirit, it takes 20 minutes to summon it again, although I heard that the time to summon a spirit becomes shorter as the intimacy of the spirit increases. < is in effect, it takes almost no damage, as you''d expect from an advanced spirit. But soon I didn''t notice the end of the recast and just got absorbed in slaughtering the wolves. And then I noticed. The damage is greater when the blade is inserted into the joints and soft parts of the body. And depending on the location, it can also hinder the enemy''s movement. Aside from hindering the enemy''s movement, I remember that Galahad dealt the most damage to the enemy when he swung his two-handed sword down as if he was going to crush him, so it may be the characteristics of each weapon that determine which way of attack can deal the most damage. After the battle, we shadow the wolves and search for them. This time there are six wolves, the maximum number. It may be a matter of mood, but I quietly approach them from downwind and attack them. I noticed one more thing during the fight... the damage is higher and the critical hits are more likely to occur. The wolf''s throat is its weak point. I swing my white blade as if I were slashing up from the bottom. The gray wolf that accompanies me can be killed with a single blow even if I don''t bother to aim at its weak point, but I try to aim at it to get used to it. The first one I kill, the second one I see out of the corner of my eye as it disappears as a light, and by the time the wolves notice me and start to fight back, I have slaughtered three of them. The weakness is that the enemy also tries to protect itself, it was difficult at first to aim at the whistles of the wolves that turned their attention towards me, but I am used to it now. Just before the wolf jumps at me, his head rises from his lowered position to reveal his throat, and in that instant I strike a blow. If I miss, my attack does not hit him and he attacks back, but thanks to the recovery effect, it does not matter. If other wolves attack him and his sword does not shift its line, he can almost always hit them. If the attack is physical, the black wolf can be hit with a single blow if the attack is critical! ...... which bosses give out magic equipment for solo rewards. I''ve gotten so used to targeting weak points that I tried to switch to using magic to kill the gray wolves, but I just kept slashing at them. I didn''t even use [slash], I just kept on slashing. How to connect to the next one without wasting time. Positioning. The direction of evasion. The path of the sword. It''s fun. I saw a few players fighting snakes here and there, but the southern forest was empty as usual. I wonder if the west is so efficient, I have only fought bosses in the west. Taking advantage of the open space, I continue fighting with the wolves. There is no shortage of targets at night, as enemies tend to spring up. I continue the fight, taking care only to avoid the merging of multiple packs. As I thought at the time of using the stores in town, this game can be played almost like a normal R!G if you don''t worry about the details. However, by finding hidden stores, interacting with the residents, and by observing and making efforts during the battle, you can gain level, skill, or something else that will make you stronger. Above all, the feeling of being in this other world becomes stronger. I have improved my swordsmanship. I have acquired the skill [Ganbatte] after defeating 500 of them by exploiting their weaknesses. I have acquired the skill [Carrying] for killing 500 animals in a row with minimal movement using a sword. The title of "King of Swords" was awarded to him for defeating 500 consecutive enemies above the appropriate level using a sword without using any offensive skills. I got the title reward item . Wait. That title is not ready! Isn''t it too early for that title to come out of the stone?¡¡For me, that''s a title that appears in the last part of the book!¡¡No, it''s going to be hard to beat the last one in a row against a superior opponent! ............ For a while, I fought the urge to scream, or to grab someone by the neck and wiggle. And the master ring is a piece of work. The basic stats are STR x 2, DEX x 1.5, AGI x 1.5, and LUK x 1.5. According to the description, there are five types of master rings, "sword," "fist," "magic," "holy," and "technique," and there are five more of each, and they appear on the fingers of the top five qualifiers. The title is not permanent, but changes to [Former King of Swords] after the ring is transferred to another one. What is the higher rank?¡¡The achievement was that he had defeated a demon of a higher level with his sword. Skills are not available. The greater the difference in level, the better. The more level difference, the better. I still have only "Slash" as usual. I am relieved that it is not a battle between players. I don''t want to get in the way of what I want to do. I don''t want to be in the way of what I want to do. I don''t want to be in the way of a mass production of [ex-sword king] in a good match. ...... Yeah, I''m glad I''m the one with the gale boots and the gloves of skill! Since the ring has a cloaking function, the equipment display is turned off. The effect of the title "King of Swords" is to ignore physical defense when attacking with a sword. Damage is completely dependent on the player''s status and weapon. You can slay golems and slimes! A title that lives up to its name! While not permanent, I still think it''s something that should appear near the end! Well, I have a feeling it will be in someone else''s hands soon: £¡£¡£¡£¡ I wonder what the other master ring requirements are. Let''s not use swords in public for now. Dawn is about to break. The yellow moon has set, the white moon still remains, and the sky is tinged with light purple. I''ve been working too hard. I''m going back to the restaurant now to have a meal, just in time for the workshop to open. The [Detection] is a skill to detect weaknesses, concealment, etc. that depends on the level of [Animal and Demon Identification]. Transport] is a skill that is not affected by the terrain. It allows you to move around in muddy terrain without negative compensation. I''m happy about the title, but it''s so great that all I can say is "wow". Or, is it actually not an uncommon performance? Let''s just put on and get back to the city and relax so we don''t get tangled up along the way. When the town comes into view, I change my clothes to remove <>, <>, and <> from my equipment, and equip my robe and staff. I will ask the boy to make me a long staff. Unwrap the <> and go through the gate. By the way, the gatekeeper will stop you if you enter with <> activated. Next to the gate, there is a stone monument to release magic, and if the effect is temporary, you can release it by just approaching the monument. You can solve it by yourself, but it is recommended to solve it around the monument so as not to frighten people around you. The wear and tear on the weapons is not as bad as one might expect due to the lack of skill, but the durability of the armor is terrible. He stops by a repair shop to have his durability restored. As I leave the repair shop, I see a group of people holding up their gloves and looking very happy. I wonder if the glove can be strengthened with a magic stone. I stop heading for the exit and go to the counter where they are accepting the enhancement. "Sorry, I need to know about the enhancement. Yes, both weapons and armor can be enhanced, but there are several types. First is the enhancement that increases the attack power of weapons, which consumes a magic stone and can be enhanced up to ten times, each time adding five to the attack power. "Armor can be strengthened in the same way, with physical and magical defense depending on the type of magic stone. Only one of them plus 10 or both plus 5 each." "If a weapon or armor fails, the basic value of durability will be minus 10, and after 10 failures, the durability will be reduced to 0 and the equipment will be lost, and the magic stone consumed will not be returned. "Various effects can be added to weapons and armor by using attribute magic stones during production. It is also possible to add additional effects later. The number of effects that can be added depends on the rank and materials used, and failure will weaken the weapon by reducing its durability and adding negative compensation. "There are various types of magic stones, such as those that increase attributes or have special effects, so it is a good idea to try different types. "There are cases where magic stones are used as they are, but since alchemists handle the refining of magic stones, we recommend that you find a skilled craftsman to do it for you if you want more precision." "Will you be able to introduce me to someone?" If our facility is not able to handle the work, we may be able to refer you to someone who can." The smiling, dog-eared receptionist. I guess I''m supposed to use this place and drop some money first. "Thank you." I thank him and this time I walk out. It seems there are alchemists in this town, I''ll look for them later. I eat doria and dessert at a restaurant, then move to the artisanal area and call White. > > < I often hear people talking about online romance, but it sounds like a different game to me. I''m probably not going to have online romance in my game this time either, as I''m having more fun with questing and fighting. I like the weapon more than I like the cute character. White''s choice of a white coat with green patterns on the hem and sleeves reminded me of a teacup. > << Then white urged him to buy a coat in white with a green pattern, which reminded him of a teacup, and a robe in bluish purple with a white hem. I had to sit on a nearby bench and pour tea into a teacup. I should have shown the innkeeper where I wanted a comfortable room. Turns over the leftover saucer to show the engraving. He pours fragrant tea into a teacup, leaving White silent as he looks at the engraving. He places the cup next to White''s and drinks his own cup of tea while looking at people passing by. < After finishing his tea, White returned home. He is unexpectedly depressed, but regains his composure and continues shopping. <. He also buys a pair of white gloves that increase his magical power. How long will it be before the player''s production skills surpass those of the residents here?¡¡With these thoughts in mind, I visit the workshop where the boy Julius is. "Excuse me, are you open yet?" He spoke to an elderly woman who was sweeping the storefront. She said, "I just opened it. "I''d like to buy a cane for the boy Julius." "Julius, you have a visitor!" He looks surprised, but happy to see us. Her hair is soft and blonde, and she might be the boy''s mother. "Oh, Ms. Homura!" "Hi." The boy, Julius, comes toward us at a quick pace, his footsteps sounding light for a 16-year-old. "May I see your new cane?" "Yes!" With a reply, he rushes into the back again, carrying three canes. The wands I gave you before were of rank 10, so I made three of rank 20. He then explains the characteristics of each one. A blackish brown cane, straight at the bottom and twisting upward, of normal length. Rank 23, rating 8. A simple dark green cane with a matted metal-like texture, slightly short. Rank 25, rating 6. A cane of golden color with a reddish tint on the top and a flame-like shape on the head, long. Rank 27, rating 6. "...... rating is up?" The Ruba sword also has a rating of 10, so it must be a ?¡¡I wondered if Julius boy is now a special case, since he has escaped from the 4 rating of the residents'' creations. "Yes, I couldn''t get over the rating of 4 for a long time, but when I tried to make Homura-san''s cane through trial and error. But I told you that I had prepared a rank of 20, but the truth is that when the rank reaches 30, the rating drops below 3, and that''s as far as I can go now. It is a great achievement for a resident to get a rating other than 4, but he is shy and humble. "That''s great." He holds a bottle in his hand and looks at it. It makes me smile naturally, it''s nice to see someone you know grow up. I choose a dark green cane of rank 25. The rank 27 wand is more capable, but the head is bigger and seems unbalanced when I hold it, while the dark green wand feels more comfortable in my hand. "Can I wear a magic stone from rank 20?" "Do you also sell magic stones here?" Yes, but we only offer basic items that increase magic and life force by a small amount. "Do you buy from alchemists?" No, from the commercial guilds. I''ve heard that the best alchemists are in King''s Landing, but many of them don''t like ...... socializing and stay indoors, so it''s difficult to make contracts with each workshop." King''s Landing. I''ll have to register for the transfer between the two cities. I heard that with Julius'' skill, one of the magic stones I just gave you has a 90% chance to be attached to a wand of this rank, and the second one to a 30% chance. Please give me one. I asked him to attach a magic stone that would increase my magic power, and left the workshop. He asks for the next one in the late 30s or early 40s, and hands over the patka. When I asked him what materials he would use, he told me that he would use mostly wood, metals that are compatible with magic power, gems, and magic stones, so I gave him rubies dropped from a circle moth. The price was 26,000 shillings. I spent 89,000 sil. including the restaurant portion of today''s shopping. I was going to spend 200,000, but the rank limitation made it much cheaper. I was feeling a little overjoyed at having so much money, but if it weren''t for the sil that Galahad and the others gave me, I wouldn''t have had enough money to get all this equipment. ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ Increase...

I''m currently in the middle of a teamfight with a knight ramp. I am taking a sword swinging down at me as usual, but it is very hard to take a sword swinging from a two-handed sword, as if my arms are being damaged. Can''t I pass it off? If I take a wrong angle, I might be hit in the brain with my own sword. I was praised for my fast strike, but I was easily caught because I was following a kata. I should attack him out of kata because of his relaxed attitude.¡¡I can''t help but think. I thought that my arm strength was not strong enough. The training session was over after the E! I drink a cup of tea in a corner of the training area. I really want to eat a sandwich or something, but I haven''t seen anyone eating here yet. Well, the barracks are close by, so I guess there is no need to take food outside. The lamps were set to come in and explain about the knights in training over a cup of tea. I''ll let you know. The party of Roy, Shillary, Dawn, Kaede, Momiji and Kurau have discovered a special dungeon. I hereby release this information. In this other world, there are many dungeons, some of which require two or more parties, and some of which require solo players. We hope you enjoy exploring the various dungeons. Oh, Roy and his friends are doing a great job. It''s nice to hear a name I know. Leo has caught the "Thar no Nushi. Gotta laugh when a name you know is played! It''s rare that Leo is still awake after midnight, he must be having a lot of fun. While I''m clearing out the drops at the guild, listening to the voices of the world, I get a text message. > It was Roy. It''s short!¡¡Where the hell is this dungeon? > A follow-up email followed from Claud. Ochazuke also sent an email and we decided to meet at the temple. The meeting was in two hours, and Leo would be outside. No, can Leo come back?¡¡Sir, right? <. I buy more than I did last time because I ran out. There is plenty of room in the item pouch, thanks to the transfer of the stuff to storage. The used bookstore is not open, probably because of the early hour. It has been long after sunrise, but I have a feeling that the used bookstore would not open until the afternoon, perhaps because the owner has an unhealthy image of staying up until midnight reading books. And in fact, it is not open. Cooking in the kitchen of the production facility. I roast a lamb from the bazaar, or make a stew of venison in brown sauce, put it in a jar and cover it with a pie. And a recipe purchased at a restaurant for the goodness of having a sill10,11. I learned to "pickle" pickles, nuts in honey and berries in syrup, and to "freeze" ice cream, sherbet and popsicles. She received a rating of 10 for roast lamb and stew in a jar. The benefit of 10 rating was 2% increase of arm strength for 15 minutes and 4% increase of cold resistance for 20 minutes, respectively. Although I still have some stock, I tried making tea and coffee, and received a rating of 10 for increased intelligence. It seems that the time is increased by % depending on the level of ingredients and the number of steps involved in the cooking. So far, the best is 4% for 20 minutes for a stew in a jar made from venison stew. The only problem is that it is cold resistant. There is still a lot of time left, so I drink a cup of tea in the plaza while conducting a one-man appraisal contest of people and equipment. I bought a cup, but it''s not useful at all since I mostly drink outside. I thought that the <> would disappear when I use my skills, but the effects of <> and <> do not disappear even if I use them. When I got to 5 in concealment, I was able to hide the skill intentionally. For the time being, I will try to hide only . The hidden skills are not visible even if someone else uses ¡¾Appraise Animal and Plant¡¿, but if you use ¡¾Ganban¡¿ and your level of ¡¾Appraise Animal and Plant¡¿ is higher than 10, you can see the hidden skills. My [Animal Demon Identification] is still level 5, and I can only see the name, level, and rank of the animal. When I went to the temple, it was a little early, but everyone was there except for Shin. "Wasn''t Leo Sir?¡¡How did you get back?" "I''m back dead!" "Wow. Are you okay with the desperation?" It''s still on! "They said it would be gone in two hours, so I''ll have plenty of time to get to the dungeon." Ochazuke is a good bet. "In Leo''s case, I''m worried he''ll fall asleep." Shin arrives on time and heads for Hoss, the rendezvous is at the east gate. "Oh, shit. I didn''t think about the travel time in the city of Hoth. We were supposed to meet Roy and his group in two hours, but it seems that we had set our own meeting for two hours later. At Ochazuke''s words, we jumped on the wagon and ran to the east gate, a trap. Sorry! Sorry to keep you waiting! "I''m sorry, sir. Ha-ha-ha!¡¡Sorry!" "I didn''t calculate the time." I''m late! "Oh, there you are." "Let''s get moving!" ""Dungeon, dungeon"" We met up with Roy and the others, apologizing to each other, and quickly moved on. "Can''t we open a new town?" "Oh, no, I can''t find the boss." Walking and talking with Clau. In the front are the fast, sifu-derived Peter, Leo, Momiji, and Kaede. ...... except for Peter, they are so small that Peter looks like a very loli shorty guy and I can''t stop looking at him warmly. I shivered and Peter turned to me. Of course I smile and crack a smile. The RORISHOTA Peter is disappointed and says to Clough. "You didn''t beat Sir''s boss, so you''re not going to get it?" I don''t remember the boss of Faina being that far away from the capital or in a hard-to-find place, so that''s about the only reason I can think of for not being able to find it. "Oh, I see. I''ll talk to Roy later." "Then again, some professions are more hidden or unusual than others." "Yes, I was surprised to find myself changing jobs so early. Clough''s occupation, he was told, was . I''ve never seen this profession before, though I''ve been checking out the plaza. I have not asked him how he became a , because the way to become a is a mystery, and if I asked him, he would not be able to become a or he would become a degraded version of . However, I heard that he changed his occupation much earlier. And he has the blessing of Tasha, the wood god, the god of magic, alchemy, and law. When I told him that it would be very powerful if he became an offensive magician, he replied that it was not in his nature. On the one hand, I think it''s a bit of a waste, since he is probably well-equipped for his first defeat, but on the other hand, I can sense his laid-back, peace-loving atmosphere, which is typical of Kurau, even though we have only known each other for a short time. It''s fun to play with offensive magic, though. Foss has a lot of forests. After passing through forests and rolling plains, we gradually came to more and more rocks, and the entrance to the dungeon was hidden by the rocks at the beginning of a large hillside. Moreover, there were already people there before us. "Oh, you found it, but you haven''t cleared it yet?¡¡It''s not easy when there are only a few of us and we have to work with the weak ones, so let me clear the area first. As soon as he saw me, he said so and disappeared on a plate. "I wonder, did you wait for me just to say that?" "That''s too much time, isn''t it?" Sorry to drag you into this." The room at the entrance to the dungeon had two plates on the floor, and Roy and the others said that two parties could enter the dungeon by getting on them. "We tried to get in at 3-3 and it was too tight, so we went back to death." "So that''s how you got the invitation." "Oh, yeah." "So, the dungeon on the right has Wraiths and Slimes and other enemies for wizards, and the one on the left has Ghost Mushrooms and Skeletons and such, what should the party do?¡¡Shall we shuffle between magic and physical?" Me ¡ú Magical Swordsman (via Mage -> Swordsman) Ochazuke ¡ú Holy law user (via healer ¡ú fencer) Chrysanthemum Princess ¡ú Warrior (via Swordsman ¡ú Thief) Shin ¡ú Magic fist (via fencer ¡ú mage) Peter ¡ú secret agent (via shifu to sorcerer) Leo ¡ú secret agent (via shifu ¡ú healer) Roy ¡ú Warrior (via Swordsman) Shillayuri ¡ú Holy law user (via healer) Dawn ¡ú martial artist (via fist fighter) Clough ¡ú Hermit (via Mage) Momiji ¡ú secret agent (via shifu ¡ú healer) Kaede ¡ú Archer (via Thief ¡ú Mage) We taught each other our professions and discussed them with each other. Roy, Ochazuke, I, Dawn, Leo, Momiji Kikuhime, Shirayuri, Kurau, Petero, Shin, Kaede This is the result of the above combination. Kikuhime''s party heads for the dungeon where the Wraiths are. Kurau is enchanted, and Peter, Shin, and Kaede can use magic since they are mages. I''m on the mushroom side, just in case the mushrooms also have wraiths. The party leaders form an alliance with each other on the plate, and when the plate is surrounded by a white light and the light subsides, we are in a cave that has been manned. The cave was dimly lit with a faint glow on the walls and floor, and the walls were reinforced in places. "Well, it''s not too small for walking, but it''s too small for fighting, so if there are rooms, we should try to fight in them. If enemies appear in the passage, please refrain from attacking them until I catch them, take their targets, and make them turn their heads to the other side. "Yes, sir. It''s a little cramped, so I''ll probably do my magic in the back." "Roy, pull over a little to the right. It''s not easy with three physicals behind you and a wall, so I''ll fight on the side as much as I can. "Right, Leo, don''t be a prude!" Dawn suggests, and Ochazuke cautions Leo, but I''m rather afraid of the roughness of my magic hitting my allies. "Hey!¡¡Speaking of which, can Momiji use [surprise attack]?" "Yes, I can! "Then good, let''s get Homura to cast on us and [surprise attack]!" Leo seems to have gotten a taste for the power of [surprise attack] in the previous battle on the trip to Hoth. "Okay, but I want to level up my other magic, so I''ll only do it once every other time." He learned , at level 3 and at level 5, but he has not learned anything since then until level 10. It is easy to raise the level of the spell by casting it while moving around. I had hoped that he would learn something at level 10, but he learned nothing. Light learned <> at 3, which also has a silence effect. Darkness targets a field, while Light targets an individual. Darkness is effective against many enemies, but it is ineffective when an enemy leaves the specified field, while Light remains effective even if an enemy moves, but only on a single enemy. When will they learn the next magic? Will we learn magic with similar effects for light and darkness in case we can only take one of them? While I was thinking about that, the battle begins. Four ghost mushrooms appeared. Roy runs toward them as they appear in the aisle and passes them by slamming the large shield in his left hand against them, and the ghost mushrooms follow Roy and turn their backs to us. "[Hide in Shadow]" "[Tiger] <" Dawn''s kick, despite her large body, reminds me of a tiger, just like the name of the technique. It should be the same technique, but it is very different from Shin''s. One reminds me of a large beast of the cat family and the other of the dog family. I must improve myself. "Spirit of Water<<>" "To Leo ." At any rate, since this is my first time with the three of you, I''ll make a declaration so that you know what I''m going to do. Leo seems to be waiting for me. Summoning the spirits! "Wow, what a moon!" "She''s beautiful, but she looks like a bad girl..." The three of them are upset by the haunted mushrooms that begin to fight each other. Ochazuke-san seems to have no intention of holding back from the start. "Ha-ha-ha!¡¡[surprise attack]!" "Oh!¡¡I see...so you can do a [surprise attack] if you put <> on it." Roy is admiringly fixing the second one''s tag, but when the ghost mushrooms [surprise attack] stops them and they fall down, they spew spores all over the area with a bang, and four people in close proximity, including Roy, are poisoned. "Oof!" Ochazuke, who was about to throw a projectile, hurriedly casts a poison-dispelling spell on Roy. "Momiji ni !" I know why this cave is so bright when I see the spores blown away with a whiff. The spores from earlier were glowing brightly on the floor. "Uh-oh!" I killed two more, and Leo, who was still poisoned from the first one, was in trouble.

"If there are six of them, we''ll be in trouble. "Shall we coordinate the defeat, cure the poison, and then defeat the next one?" Dawn answers Roy''s words. The two of them are talking in a hard-boiled kind of way. They are talking about mushrooms that make you go "bah-humbug. "You know what I''ve got here?" I offered <. "Anti-venom...it''s better than nothing, but you have to be lucky if it works or not." "Luck?" He asks Roy about it as he hands it to Dawn. "Anti-venom is very rare, but it''s only 30% even if it''s determined five times. You''ll be lucky if it works once out of five times.¡¡Well, the effect is so subtle that they probably don''t make them." has a different number of judgments and % of resist during the time it is effective, depending on its evaluation. If you are poisoned during the effect time and cannot resist, you have to repeat the judgment. If you are not cured, you may use up the number of times and the effect will wear off. On the other hand, if you can resist once, the next poison will cause another judgment if it is still in the effect time. In the case of a group of mushrooms like this one, both the number of times of judgment and the probability of being able to resist must be high in order to be effective. "I have never seen a rating of 9 before." It was Roy who answered, but Dawn''s voice came over his words. "Nine? "Oh, nine. I thought resistance drugs had a fixed rating of 5. I wonder if it''s true that the only preventive medicines in the current formulation are those that have a speciality in the formulation and only have a rating of 5 with two speciality effects. I guessed what Dawn said. "I can afford it if I get 9 times 90 percent. "Ha-ha-ha, thank you." "Are you sure you don''t want to get this before it''s too expensive, how much?" I''ll give out five to each of you. "About 250 shillings?" It''s a trap. Serum costs 200 shill. "Isn''t that the cost?¡¡I envy you your purchasing power, but you''re going to have to pay a little extra to keep it going, okay?" Dawn advises. That''s what Kaedemomizi told me when I sold the food. "I''ll give you 300 or so. And this for Roy and oatmeal, if you like. Be careful, it can''t be used with the anti-toxin." "I don''t know what kind of relationship you have with them, but you might want to check the right price later, okay?" "Are we not having this conversation?¡¡Did Homura make this?" Yes, I am. Ochazuke asks as he pays. "I thought you were the cook! "Bleh, what the hell is this? I was surprised by both of them. "Cooking is your hobby?¡¡Or rather, I like to eat." "What?¡¡Which is your real job!¡¡I didn''t know they were making all that stuff without any job compensation." That being said, it is very hard to serve the dishes I made after I got the . And I wonder if I''ll be helpless without the job compensation when I reach a higher level. "<> becomes such a medicine when it reaches rating 9, wow..." "<> is also terrible." "Thank you for the compliment?" The battle resumes. The other enemies in the cave were skeletons and kobolds. They appeared in groups of five or six, and they were skeleton soldiers, skeleton guards, and skeleton mages. Kobolds were not to be underestimated as well, since they used their skills. But it is the same no matter what comes out. Ochazuke''s < and Leo and Momiji''s [surprise attack] are exploding. If I may say so, sometimes the charm did not work on Priests, but by defeating them first, there was no problem. It seems that Leroux can only be called up once per battle, but we finish defeating him before the charm wears off. The Ghost Mushrooms can also be defeated without worrying about the overlapping poison. On the way, you get the skill [Magic Shield] by defeating 1,000 enemies in a row with magic while in a party! It is a useful skill that prevents attack magic from hitting allies. I''m working on ......<, so it doesn''t matter much now. I have a problem because it comes too quickly. There is also a plate, but Kikuhime''s party has to get on the plate somewhere over there to activate our plate. That''s why they are eating on the plate. "How can I say, our party was a royal party. We''re going through the motions." Roy is blabbing something. "Yeah, I never thought I''d see the day when Momiji would beat me with firepower. Dawn blurts it back. The two of them sigh and smile. The way they nibble on the spicy dried fish is a perfect match. "[Surprise] That felt good!" "Right!¡¡But I''m hungry!" Momiji and Leo are both healers, and Momiji''s level is much higher than Leo''s, but I''m surprised at Leo''s damage with a slightly lower level. What kind of weapon does Leo use? It seems I was not the only one who wondered. "A dagger of my own making!¡¡I was taught at my apprenticeship!" Here''s another person whose production smells foul. "There are two people who seem to specialize in production, and I''ll take the [surprise] combination from <>, but I think Ochazuke''s <<> is the most foul ......." "Something about Kaede, too, says that Peter is using a skill that I''ve never seen before." "Maybe it''s because we''re taking a lot of detours. I have a lot of strange skills. "I mean, Homura, it''s amazing you''re keeping up with the rest of us." Haha! ...... I can''t tell you what I did! "Oh?¡¡Looks like the daylilies have arrived." "Oh!¡¡Let''s go~!" "Oh." When everyone stood up, the area around the plate glowed white and the transition began. "You''re the boss." "You''re the boss." "Yeah." "You''re flying." "You''re flying, aren''t you?" "I''d like to knock that thing off first, but Kaede is over there." Kaede is a bowman. "<>!" Aiming at the feather, he fires a spell. "[Throwing]!" The boss, Glee, is falling toward me. He is not falling because he is damaged, but because he is descending to attack. It is a huge bald eagle. "Whoa, whoa, whoa!" Roy breaks in behind me. Roy is the only one who can catch Glee''s huge body as it falls from above at speed. Roy is able to hold me up even though he is losing a lot of weight. After receiving the blow, I was pushed back more than two meters, and two grooves appeared under my feet. "<>!" At the last moment, he unleashes a spell that restrains his movement. We need a gravity spell. I don''t know if there is. "Nice!" Ochazuke''s voice says as he heals Roy, "I''m relieved that it worked. "[Rush]!" Dawn immediately releases her skill. "[Poison Blade]!" "[Hide in Shadow]!" Now let''s see how long we can keep them on the land. It''s easier if we can find a pattern. If Glee takes off, Roy will provoke to take the target, and then activate his shield skill to catch the attack. Ochazuke heals Roy while Roy is receiving the attack, and I entangle Glee on the ground with . "<>''s binding time is getting shorter, so be careful." After repeating the process several times, the time required to bind the victim to the body is getting shorter and shorter, as if the body has developed a tolerance to the process. "Oh!¡¡But this is the end! Dawn''s big move hits and Glee falls to the ground, leaving behind a roar. "Did you do it?" "Oh!" "No, what?" Just as we were about to rejoice in our defeat, the atmosphere shook. A ripple-like whirlpool appeared at the side of the fallen GREE, and a huge lion appeared. At the same time, the Kikuhime and the others metastasized behind me. "They are going to merge, I see. I thought that Peter''s line right after his appearance made me wonder if the lion would be a griffin in shape, or if the lion''s name would be "Finn". I check my M! and get into position. "Twice as tough! Dawn hits him. "I guess so." As expected, thorns sprout from under the griffin''s belly, entangling its feathers and legs and blocking its skills, along with a status anomaly that lowers its defense. Clough uses druidic magic, not tree magic. Druid magic seems to be a support system, and although the amount of damage he inflicts is not much at a time, it reduces the enemy''s abilities and strengthens his allies. Considering the total damage inflicted and the damage reduction of the party, the effect is tremendous. In between, he uses [Fire] and [Time], and [Fire] uses spells that I can''t remember because he seems to have a high level of magic, perhaps because he limits the magic he uses. The magic of [Time] is a magic I do not know, and he seems to have acquired [Time Magic] by solving the riddle that earned him the title of Hermit. Griffin has a powerful side cleave with its left and right paws, a ranged attack with a gust of wind from its wings, and a rush at random targets. It is a good thing that it does not fly too much. It is not until later that you learn that if you kill the lion first, you will have to fight against it in the air, and it will not be this tough anymore. "[Shadow knife]!" As Peter slashes at Griffin, a series of black-bladed knives appear and stab Griffin, then disappear. You''ve already carried out the assassination order, haven''t you?¡¡That''s an assassin''s skill, no matter how you look at it, right?¡¡Not the skills of a secret agent, right? "I''m not sure I can down with the stones." "Homura-sensei. It''s a trap where the eyes of the ochazuke only look like 3. "I''ll use the genie first!¡¡Shadow is off!" I can still only use the lance system. I''ve been actively using the attributes that were at the 4th level during the road, but I''ve been using them in between shadows to get to the 5th level, but I can only do about half, or at best two-thirds, of the damage that Claud can do with his magic. It can''t be helped that his level, magic level, and intelligence are not as good as Kurau''s since he took the swordsmanship. I''m going to connect with Feng Jin Feng Shui. I am a little embarrassed to show my low-power magic in front of the main user because of my inadequacy. In terms of total damage, I will lose. But... "Get away from the griffin!¡¡Spears of earth!" I see the close group take a few steps back at the sound of my voice, and I launch my last spell. Six huge cones of stone, spawned from the earth, skewer the griffin. It looks like I''ve just knocked Roy off his feet, but that''s probably just my imagination. The boss and the letters of light that had been circling around me disappeared, and an announcement was made that we were clear. I''ll let you know. Roy and the other five members, Leo and the other five members have defeated in the Cave of the Monsters. "Oh?" "Did we pass the Black Lily''s party?" Did you do it? Was that a first? "Well, if you''re that crispy on the road, the ...... boss is the Beast Slayer." For a moment I thought it was me, but then it occurred to me that Roy and the others had also defeated the Sekan boss for the first time and had the Beast Slayer. Roy and his party all have their names made public, but it seems that only the name of one representative from each party is played in the Alliance. The leader of this party is Kikuhime, but her name is not public, so I, ......, who joined the party next, must have skipped it and played the name of Leo, whose name is set to "public". I got the reward for defeating the boss for the first time. I got the title [Bird Slayer]. I have obtained 4 griffin feathers. I got a griffin skin x4. I have obtained a griffin''s cloak. I got the magic stone of Griffin. I got a griffin''s feather crown x 10. "Oh, here comes [Beast Slayer]!" "This one is [Bird Slayer]." I wonder if I got one or the other at random, or if I got the bird one because I had the beast one. I wonder if the feather crown is a down payment. "Thank you, Dr. Homura, for your work." "If you think you''re out of production, you''re out of combat." "That was interesting magic you just did..." "That was amazing!" I was so surprised. It was already dark when I stepped out of the dungeon. We decide to move quickly to the city of Hoss before the party of black lilies returns. <. I have to take a break or else I will be forced to log out. On the way I am asked about the magic I used, and I tell them that it is the title for solving the riddle of the temple. "I still haven''t solved the riddle! My [star]!" Singh still seems to be lost in the riddle. "I''ve taken other skills and magic is far away." Assassination skills, right? Peter seems to be stuck at the point where he has to match the six attributes before solving the riddle. "I thought it was only for fighters, but I didn''t know mages could do that too. Dawn says she''s already cleared. "I''m going to try again later when I hear that I can get both light and dark. Claud and I have been talking about each other''s titles and such along the way, so I''m not that surprised. We talked about magic, so we didn''t talk about swordsmanship titles. I should do as Clau did, and boost the firepower of the whole party with support magic, or boost my own normal attack firepower. The inn is the one where Roy and the others stayed last night, and it has a decent food and bath. I tell the party members, who are about to start feasting, that I have to log out and go to bed first. I wonder if I get a warning message about the logout time. In the real world, it is already the time of the ox, when even the trees and grass are asleep. I try to sleep just in time, but then I remember the sleep carriage ride and log in again twenty minutes later. When I log in, Leo tells me that he''s been attacked!¡¡I got an email saying. What for? He had logged out, so I asked him what had happened to Ochazuke, who was about to go to bed, and he told me that the black lilies had come to the inn to get involved, and that Roy and the others had taken the brunt of it and kept our skills and spirits a secret. I was relieved to hear that they were not there. I have a feeling that we won''t be able to open the doors of Faena until we liberate all the towns, so we transfer from the temple to Fast and board the carriage that goes directly to Secant.

Holidays I didn''t think I would go to bed before Leo yesterday. I went to bed almost as usual and woke up just in time to go to work in the morning, even though it was my day off. When I logged in, I found myself in a carriage. I thought for a moment that I had entered a circle back to Fast, but it was stopped at the plaza of Secant. It seems that the carriages between the towns are like an event field, and they do not go on to the next unless I get off. I got off the carriage, feeling glad that I did not have to lie on the cobblestones, and watched the carriage as it started moving. I would like to go sightseeing in Secant, but it will soon be evening anyway. Players are still visible even though it is a weekday morning. Many of them are probably attacking the boss of Secan or the boss of Sir. I dropped in at the guild of the Secan Commerce Guild facing the plaza, dropped off my sil, registered for transfer to the temple, and flew straight to the fast. Once again, I made sure I had more than 2,200,000 shillings on hand, and opened the door to the store, which was still as inconspicuous as ever, already starting to turn dusky. "You''re early!" When I told him that I had come to pay, he folded the book he was reading and turned to me. Looking at the owner''s face, I suddenly remembered that I had not read through the book I had purchased, but I would read it slowly after I finished paying. "I don''t feel at home with an item I haven''t paid for." The owner is at the counter with the money. "Sure." After checking the 2,200,000 shillings I gave him, the owner put them in a box. As I was relieved after the payment, he offered me a thin black book, similar to the book of thunder he had given me the last time. The book is in two volumes. Now that you''ve paid, I''ll give you the rest. Hmm? "I''m happy to learn new attributes from just one book, what''s more?" Like, if you don''t read the second book, you lose the magic you learned? "I told you that lightning is a compound magic, and that book alone is only half of it." "There''s a lot to learn about magic, too, and I''m willing to go through with it even if you get in my way." "Oh, I''m Cadiz. Go ahead and drop your money." Shopkeeper''s name and pattock! "Thank you, thank you." He is as brusque as ever, but he tells me not to call myself a mage if I don''t know anything about the books on the shelves, so I take out a few books and start reading in the round chair. The owner of the store is turning the pages of the book he is looking at and does not pay any attention to us. It seems that there are other types of magic such as ice, burning, space-time, etc., and that there are other types of compound magic, which can be learned by acquiring knowledge of light and darkness and their corresponding magic. The book given to me by the shopkeeper was the key item to acquire knowledge of lightning, but the shape of key items such as orbs and stone tablets is not yet determined. I learned that magic and sorcery are affected by not only intelligence but also blessings of the gods, intimacy with spirits, and in the case of compound magic, even the magic level of the original attribute. I bought two new books on magic. The word "magic" is sometimes used in the broad sense of the word "witchcraft", but it is more accurate to say that magic is a higher level of witchcraft. Even if it is a higher level attribute, if it is incomplete, it is classified as magic. And so on. Knowledge of the Compendium of Magic and newly purchased books on magic. It is really useful to have the knowledge flow into your mind when you own it. So, in fact, I often just flip through dictionaries and books for knowledge, while most of the books I read here are stories. I have acquired the higher level of magic by solving the riddle of the secondhand bookstore. With this, [lightning magic] will be merged into [lightning magic]. As we were leaving the used bookstore, an announcement was made. The used bookstore was a mystery after all. I can''t tell the difference between a quest and a riddle. Is it a riddle if it''s something you shouldn''t tell people? By the way, the title effect of "The One Who Solves the Mystery" is "Attracted by the Mystery. I had let it go since it was just a vague title that "you can somehow find out where the mystery is", but I wonder if it is a very useful title considering that it gives you skills. Looking at the [Lightning Magic], I found that <> was learned at level 1, <> at level 3, and <> at level 5. I wonder if the new magic will be acquired at the same level as light and dark. I am relieved to see that the spells of the integrated [Lightning Magic] are still alive and well. There is a star in the display of [Lightning Magic]. I found in the help file that it is displayed for "the first player to acquire the skill" and that it has various benefits, such as a 5% increase in effectiveness. So, it seems that I am the first one to get the lightning magic. Well, I guess I can''t pay that much for it. I don''t think there was a star for [Lightning Magic], and there is a star for [Carry], too, if I recall. It''s no wonder, because it''s better to run into the enemy than to stare at menus and statuses. Ochazuke often scolds me. I learned much later that the general route is as follows, The order is: get to know the residents, find the stall, find the used bookstore, find the book with the clue to the temple riddle, solve the temple riddle, use the light in the used bookstore with the total number of magic skill levels over 30 ......, and after solving the temple riddle, the fist fighter will find another place to solve the riddle. The solution and the branching. The amount of money reminds me that I have to go to the guild of commerce to consign the sale. So here I am at the guild, where there were few players before, but there are many. If this is the case on a weekday afternoon, I wonder how it will be at night. I mean, stop producing in the lobby. I asked the receptionist to call up Cuero, and he showed me to a reception room on the second floor. Inside was Clero, tall and slender, with a black suit and a striped blouse that pushed up his chest. It''s a trap that draws the eye to the difference between her breasts and the undergarment rather than her cleavage. You ordered the suit and blouse, didn''t you?¡¡There''s no sag in your clothes! "Good evening. Sorry to call so late." No, I''m on duty. I hope you don''t mind. He smiles and offers me a cup of coffee. Coffee is mainstream in this world too, huh? "I''m here to register to sell liquor on consignment and regular consignment. "Thank you. First of all, each consignment can only be registered once, so that the guild can quickly identify the consignor in case of fraud. Instead, several people, including you, Homura-sama, have requested to keep their names secret, so you can register under a different name for business purposes." He explains it to us while pointing a pamphlet at us, just as he did when he registered as an adventurer. "What is your name for registration?" The name ......,Homura, so you can use the flame en, or no, that would be a circle. Cooking,Medication,Alchemy,Ren...... "Lenguard, please." "Yes, you already have a storage rental, ......, and we will register it for you." As with the storage rental, the guild card will be used for registration, and the tablet will appear again to update the information. After the registration is completed, a consignment sales system and number will be assigned to the storage space rented by the commercial guild. Once you have deposited your items and set your price within the specified range, you will be able to buy them from other consignment terminals as items for sale. We also offer a service to add storage capacity. "The number of consignment sales is limited to 30, but you can sell up to 99 of the same type of potions, for example. The sales amount will be credited to the storage you have set up for consignment sales, minus a handling fee. Please note that after 3 years of storage rental has expired, the items in the storage, including those for sale, will become the property of the guild." When you rent a storage unit, it was explained that it expires in three years. In the real world, it was explained that characters are deleated one year after they stop paying bills, so I wonder if this is related to that. "If you have other stores, such as stalls, or if you have a private home, we can add storage units and link them to each other. Separate storage is useful if you don''t want to sell your property by mistake." I don''t think I need to add storage itself, especially now that I live in an inn. "Well, we''re happy to help you today." "Oh, thank you. How can I help you with the alcohol?" Leave beer, wine, and brandy with Cuello and get a receipt. He will transfer the money to the storage for sale. You can also deposit from the storage, but he asks you to visit the guild about once a month. "A rating of 9, that''s great. ......" For a long time, Cuero had been a faceless man with a smile on his face, but when he saw the sake ratings, he began to pull away. Thanks to the glove of skill, there are a few 10''s. Cuero is staring at me with the wine in his hand. "...... can I get you a bottle?" You present a bottle of wine to Cuero, then deposit the item you wish to sell in your storage on the ground floor and set the price. Sell alcoholic beverages with a rating of 7, food with a rating of 8 and <>, <> and <> with a rating of 6. The other items for sale are looked at, and the evaluation of the items is given on a wait-and-see basis. I recall a conversation between Roy and Dawn at ...... where he said that he had only seen 5 ratings for anti-toxins. At any rate, I give it a rating of 8, since the effect of a rating of 5 to 7 is still too subtle. I have already sold off anything with a rating of 7 or lower, because I didn''t think I would use it myself. At any rate, I''ll put the highest price on it. and alcoholic beverages did not come up in my search. , but are there really so few people with the [brewing] skill? I''m here Sir. Saa, which is said to be a town of furniture and other woodworkers, is surrounded by well-kept forests and lakes with little rainfall. The lakes and marshes are fed by spring water from the Narn Mountains to the east, and the abundant water nurtures the forests, while the climate with little rainfall is ideal for drying wood. and >, he changes his equipment to Ruba''s sword, <><><> and >, and his robe to a swordsman''s coat, and sets out into the forest at night. The <<> I got last night are not a problem, so I leave them on. The same arm equipment cancels out the higher ability, but it seems that the higher ability is applied. I have both on, but the <> are still in effect. By the way, it turns out that the equipment for the reward of the first defeat is much better than that for the party. That''s it, I think the solo defeat was set at a higher level. Skipping over the enemies of the second tier, the party was to be defeated by the enemies of the night. I was ready to go back to the dead, so I paid the full amount for the sil and threw the items into storage, and this time I also got a grant for increased arm strength from the temple. He decides to go to the Narn Mountains. <, and then chooses an unimproved road that branches off. At a suitable point, we enter the forest. Even though it is a weekday, we have seen some parties along the main road, but there seems to be no sign of them anymore. I find a single enemy that I can detect, and when I approach it, I see a green slime. He calls <> and casts <> on it, closing the distance in a single breath and swinging his sword. He aims his sword at the core of the slime, which moves erratically inside the slime''s body. The slime is easily defeated. I try my magic on the next slime, but it seems that the nucleus is protected by the gelatinous fluid and cannot be damaged directly. Even if you aim at the nucleus with a , the fluid slows it down and the nucleus moves away from the target in the meantime. Only [Lightning Magic] was able to do more damage than other magic. Thanks to [Gelslayer], it seems to be possible to use magic alone, but the title of [King of Swords] is too effective. Other monsters that appeared were <>, an owl-shaped monster that attacked quickly from the sky, and <>, a slow-moving plant monster that used <> to stop us. The Black Owl can be killed with a single blow if you hit it. And thanks to <>, I can easily keep up with its speed. Worms are the most troublesome, but fortunately their attack power is not so high, so I could manage by firing fire magic from the place where I was trapped. But the inefficiency and the lack of freedom of body is unpleasant and stressful. Therefore, we avoid Worms and fight. It is faster to deal with multiple green slimes and black owls than a single wolm. E! is reduced and I take a break, I receive a greeting mail from Ochazuke and Peter who have logged in. Both of them mention that they have been involved with black lilies. I''m so glad I went to bed early last night. ......! After a short break, we hunt until dawn. I try to slice the small moving nuclei into two equal parts as neatly as possible, and try to slice the black owls that come at me at high speed while drawing them as close as possible and [evading] them. What is the point of this, you may ask, but it is a hobby. Simple work is more enjoyable if you have a goal or a commitment to it. I acquired the skill [Isshin] by defeating 500 enemies above the appropriate level by taking advantage of Mao''s weak point. I have acquired the skill [Sight Failure] for killing 500 enemies above my skill level at very close range during an enemy''s attack. ...... Mm. It''s good to stick with it! If you attack a weak point, the damage will be increased. A certain probability of instant death. Sensei] You can stop or parry an enemy''s attack with your weapon or shield without taking damage. He is awarded with a star. Both of these two are not consecutive kills, so there will be some who get them in time. However, if there is no way to defeat a superior foe with a single blow, it will be necessary to make him weak and defeat him with an attack that meets the conditions at the end. Oh, I see that there are no stars on the list, so I guess [Ganbatte] is already out. ...... Let''s try our best to raise the level of [Concealment]. If I keep hitting two enemies at once, can''t I learn to attack them all? Result. I mastered [Phantom Sword]. I can''t tell if it''s a swordsmanship skill or an assassin''s skill. The sword creates an illusion as if the blade is swinging, and the illusion also has an attack range. However, the power is not so high, so it is more subtle than [Issen], and it is faster to attack weak points one by one. ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ Increase...

So far there is almost no waiting time between chanting and activation, but this is due to the low level of magic I can use. I''d like to save the chanting break if there is one. I heard that it takes a long time to chant unless you have an INT of 10 times the magic level you are using, but even with my outstandingly high darkness, I learned at level 5, and didn''t learn any new magic until I reached 15. I can only use <<> at level 10, which is not relevant to me at this point. I''m sure that I can get some mages'' skills by their actions as well, seeing as I''ve acquired skills in swordsmanship. The only thing I could think of was to aim at the trajectory of the magic to hit multiple bodies, which is a far cry from breaking the chant, I thought, but I tried. I was aiming at the green slime. I replace Luba''s sword with Julius'' staff. Even though it is more efficient in magic, it is not powerful enough to replace the staff. If my level improves and Luba can use a higher level of materials without concern, that may be a different story. The sword I have now is a masterpiece with the proviso that it is "within my equipment rank limit. I''m already at the level of Roy and the others when they were thinking of defeating the Hoss boss, but I''m still considered a better foe in solo combat, I should be. Is he already at the right level? I moved the two slimes so that they were close to each other and guided them. < between the two slimes. The slimes are easy to aim at because their shape makes them stick to each other without any gap. A < and <>, and since the slime can''t be killed with a single blow, he calls <> and uses <>. I''m drugged!¡¡It''s a lot of money, but it''s a good thing I made it myself, because I have more than enough sil. It would have been worse if I hadn''t had the "Solitary Adventurer". By the way, the master ring of the sword didn''t increase VIT (durability), but I wonder if a warrior who specializes in shields can''t get the master ring?¡¡I''m a little concerned. I have acquired the skill [Inducement] by leading and defeating 500 enemies. You have acquired the skill [Ranged Magic] by killing 500 enemies simultaneously and consecutively. Acquired the skill [Action Chanting] for successively defeating 500 enemies above the appropriate level with magic. I have acquired the skill [Shorten Chanting] for simultaneously defeating 500 enemies above the appropriate level by using magic. When the sun had long since risen, I finally finished killing 500 of them. Although I started as a mage, my skill level is probably lower than that of other players, because I have not specialized in any of the attributes, but rather have raised my skill level evenly. Lightning Magic] is strengthened by the blessing of the god of wind and darkness, and the spirit of darkness, so it is stronger than other magic of the same level 3. But it is a level 10 magic that has only just reached double-digits. I guess I cheated by using [Gerslayer] and medicine. It seems that we have to work hard to raise the level of magic as well. I got the title of "Wise King" by defeating 500 enemies above the proper level consecutively by using the higher level magic. I got the title reward item <>. ...... ............ Stop as soon as you realize your magic is weak. £¡£¡£¡£¡£¡ Here''s the master ring''s breakthrough performance. Base stats are INT x 2x MID x 1.5x DEX x 1.5x LUK x 1.5x. The effect of the title of "Wise King" is to ignore magic defense when attacking with magic. Damage depends completely on the player''s status and weapon. By the way, the world announcement is not made even if you get a master ring. It should. Incidentally, it is said that world announcements related to assassins are kept secret and are not broadcasted. I wonder if master rings should be kept secret as well. As the name implies, the [Attract] function leads and attracts enemies. It may be useful when you want to hunt a lot of materials. Ranged Magic] can target two adjacent targets instead of only a single target, but its power is lower than that of a single target. The level of this spell is indicated, so the number of targets may be increased or the power may be increased as the level of the spell increases. Incidentally, it seems that the range of the spells that involve more than one target from the beginning is further extended. Action Chanting] allows you to use magic while moving. There is no canceled chanting, so it is possible to shoot lightning while moving. Even if you can''t get this skill, you can use low level magic that can be cast without chanting while moving. It will show its true value when the level goes up and the chanting time becomes longer. Shorten Chanting Time] As the name suggests, this skill shortens the time required for chanting spells. If you raise your level, you will be able to shorten your chanting time. The level increase is much slower after 30. It is said that the level up to 30 is made easier so as not to concentrate players in one place. I drink a cup of tea, wondering if 30 is the appropriate level for a party to release Faina. I''m escaping from reality again. I was so engrossed in the battle that I didn''t notice that there are a lot of wild vegetables in this forest, such as kikurage, mitsuba, kogomi, cod roe, Japanese parsley, etc. Is there a hobbyist among the developers? The seasons seem to be a mixture of spring and summer, but it seems too short to take only the same period of time as in the real world, so perhaps this is a consideration of that. I know from books that diaspora has four seasons. Incidentally, it is a plant that can be collected even if it is not collected. If I had not bought the book at a used bookstore, I might not have been aware of it and would have passed it by. ...... tempura, salt would be good. But I want rice, soba or udon. I can''t go for udon. Noodles are ready, but soup is not. The sun has risen, and the sound of axes being put into trees can be heard in the distance. The three things that can be gathered with the pickers are the same as before: medicinal herbs, magic berries, and ruby berries. Since we had been fighting for so long, we took a break from the battle and spent some time gathering. Ruby berries are, as the name suggests, bright red, jewel-like berries. I ate one or two and found that they had just the right amount of tartness and sweetness, and had a strong flavor. I was so excited to pick them! <......,The field boss of Hoss is a torrent (plant), so I think they will release it. However, I think I''ve already defeated him for the first time in a party, so I''ll have to defeat him solo. But, as far as I see here, plant-types seem to be able to lure them. If you get charmed or confused, it''s not easy to solo without a companion who can heal you. Even if you call Galahad, you don''t know when you''ll meet him in the field bosses. I think I''ll aim to get resistance first. In addition to resistance, let''s get some other skills that will be useful for solo exploration. I should change my job to a Thief at the temple and get [Disable Trap] too. What?¡¡I thought [Throwing] was a skill for thieves, but I guess it''s just easy to get and not a unique skill. It was on the list when I was a mage. Is it possible to get the skill even if you''re not a mage, just with different points? I''ll look into it later. ...... I wonder how to increase the number of production jobs aside from combat jobs, I need to learn how to make accessories. I think Peter said something about crafting. While I was thinking about it, I found a mining point, and what I got was clay. The heavens were telling me to try my hand at ceramics. I''m sure there is a workshop in Foss. Yeah, there''s a furniture workshop in Saar. Off the top of my head, there are plenty of places to learn new production. After all, this is where the live. As we continue collecting with this in mind, a hill appears in the well-kept flat forest as we approach the Narn Mountains, and behind the hill is a larger hill. A few more steps and we will be in the Narn Mountains. If we continue on, we should come to a stream that Leo would like. According to the map we copied in the archive, there is only one river flowing from the Narn Mountains to the city, but there are countless streams. The reason for the disappearance of these streams is that they flow under the ground as subterranean water and return to the ground as springs in the forest. By the time night falls, it is daytime in the real world. It is time to go back to the town to look for a restaurant and an inn. But, but.... Sometimes I like to break away from the theory and enjoy the scenery. I want to get water for cooking in the stream. I want to escape reality. So I decided to come back to death and set out for the Narn Mountains. ......I''ve never died before, but I''m sure it''s okay. Leo has experienced returning to death too. As soon as we changed from the forest to the mountains, we lost our footing. We found a path and entered the mountain, although we were not sure if it was a beast trail or a mountain trail. The path was covered with dirt and moss in places, but it might have been an old road, as it appeared to be paved with stones. The places where we walked are added to the map as roads. By the way, there were dozens of large trees scattered throughout the forest. I tried to approach them to see if some event would occur, as in the case of White, but nothing happened. The lower branches had been cut off and the trunks had grown straight up, so it was certain that human hands had been involved. When I get back to the city, I will ask what those big trees are. On the way, we hunted a tiger thrush that attacked us, a larger boar-shaped chotai with a chotatsu as a companion, and killed everything that came near us as we went along. I once got a roast from a deer, and the animal-shaped monsters here in the Narn Mountains also serve delicious-looking parts of meat such as breast meat and thigh meat. When we get back to the city, we can make them into a stew or teriyaki. No, there are other ingredients besides meat. So far, I have not been interested in them, since they seem to be used for sewing and blacksmithing, such as skins, feathers, and tusks. Mother Goose is a blackbird pie. The tigers were just like that, a ferocious bird in two-tone yellow and black, but I would like to eat it as a pie. I am hunting without any difficulty, but the enemies in the mountains are much stronger than those in the forests below. They are probably stronger than those in the previous dungeon, not to mention Sir. However, only beast and bird types appear so far, and thanks to the title of Slayer and the master ring, I am progressing without much difficulty. While I was thinking about this, I noticed a large blue-gray humanoid monster ahead of me. I checked it out and found it was a troll, and it was a two-headed one. I can''t see its level, so it must be 10 or more. Looking up, I see the top of a mountain tinted orange by the sunset, and a wyvern-like creature flying in the sky in the distance. At first I thought it was a bird, but I was wrong. Even the city has to go through a procedure to be released, and I guess we are in the next country over this mountain range, but they don''t want to let us go over the mountain now. We can try to run into the trolls, but if we are going to die, there are things we want to do. We continue to avoid the trolls while gathering, mining, and fighting for meat until just before noon in the real world, and finally we are on our first course to return to death. And here we are, on a sheer ledge. Can you tell? I want to fly. I guess that would be free-fall. The white and reddish moon is shining brightly and the sky is full of stars. The moon does not seem to diminish the stars. I would like to fly under a blue sky, but this is fine. I flew on my back to experience floating while looking at the sky. There was quite a bit of wind pressure and the sound of flapping coats. I can keep my eyes open because I''m falling on my back, but I still don''t know if this is what I''m supposed to do. I had imagined that the fall would have a longer dwell time, like in a fantasy world. Like being held by a starry sky. But in reality, it was not like that. Then I was slammed to the ground via a tree branch. I acquired the skill [Leap] by jumping from a certain height. You have acquired the skill [Air Stasis] by jumping from a height that would have killed you instantly. By acquiring the skills [Leaping], [Staying in the air], and [Carrying], you have acquired the skill [Flying]. The acquisition of the skills [air magic] and [wind magic] has given me the skill [air magic]. The title of "Wise Man" has been acquired by acquiring 10 kinds of magic. ......It was a plan to return to death. Yeah, <> can be activated even if you are not in battle. I got a lot of skills. By the way, it was painful. The <> healed me right away, though. Leap] is something like a fivefold increase in jumping power. With this skill, it would be possible to hit the head of a boss who looks up at you with a jump, and it is almost a must-have skill to hit a weak point with a physical attack. I don''t know how high the "certain height" is, but since there seems to be people who have already obtained it, I guess it must be the height from the city tower or the top of the city wall, since there is no star. I think we have to come here to the Narn Mountains to find anything higher than that. Moreover, the foot of Narn is gently sloping and there is no place to jump down unless one climbs very deep into the mountains. Dwell time" is a function to prolong the time in the air when you leap. It is quite interesting that you can not only stay in the air at the highest point but also jump up slowly if you are conscious of it. It is said that you can stay in the air a little longer than others as a reward for the first acquisition of this skill. The first reward is a little longer stay in the air than other people. Usually it takes 30 seconds, but this is also the first reward! The magic learned at level 1 is <>, which floats 5cm above the ground and seems to be less affected by the terrain, similarly to the magic learned at level 2. The title ¡¾Wise Man¡¿places a -1 on the skill points of magic, sorcery, healing, and holy law. Of course, it will not be less than 0, but it''s great! So here we go again. Climbing is done quickly and lightly by using a foothold less than 20 centimeters from the cliff with [Leap]. I lied, I hit my knee when I stepped off and fell down. It was not a great height, so I did not fall back to my death, but it was quite embarrassing and painful. Even though I was supposed to go back to the dead, I didn''t want to go back to the dead on the way up, so I climbed up seriously. The trick is not to put your knees before your toes when stepping off. The second dive is a little closer to the ideal, thanks to the "stay in the air. The fall is slow and gradual. The whispers of the treetops below. The sky is full of stars. ?" "You jumped off without knowing it. The cliff there is called the Cliff of Trials, where people used to jump off to test the gods. Of course, we have nothing to do with it, but that''s just what people say. I turn my gaze toward the cliff, and my silver hair moves gracefully in the wind with it. "It''s an ordeal, but I remember only two people who jumped off and lived." "What, you survived at this height?" "...... you say?" Val gave me a stern look, and even White, who had been curled up in a ball as if he had nothing to do with it, gave me a "what the hell is he doing? I''m sorry, but my being saved was unforeseen. I was supposed to die in the first place. He stroked the white as if to cover it up. "I fell out of here and I''m alive, and then I come back to see who''s the one who jumped the second time, and it''s a familiar face." I spoke to him, and he told me that he had come to see me simply out of curiosity, so how is it that you are flying twice?¡¡He asked me with his eyes. "No, I was originally going to go back to the city to die because I didn''t want to go back to the city. I just wanted to experience the feeling of flying if I''m going to die. When I told the truth, one pillar and one animal looked at me like I was crazy. <. There used to be a trial in this area, where if you were thrown into the river and floated, you were a witch, and if you sank, you were not guilty. In those days, people who worshipped paganism and brought in demons were put on trial. Those who claimed innocence were made to jump down from a high cliff in the Narn Mountains, where the god of law, Tasha, was said to reside, as an ordeal, and were violently judged guilty if dead and innocent if alive. Unlike the witch trials, the accused was only vindicated if he was still alive. It is believed that Tasya is there, so the one who survived is considered righteous. In reality, it is more likely that those who are an obstacle to the powers that be in the temple, or those whose death would bring money to the temple in the name of confiscation, are suspected of paganism and pushed off a cliff as a trial. But this is a fantasy world, so maybe there really was paganism. I can believe in God, but I can''t trust the who operates it. One of the two people who jumped off this cliff and survived was the one who became the king of the labyrinth city. There is an anecdote about a man who jumped off the cliff with a woman suspected of being a pagan and survived the ordeal. It was Tasya who saved her. Incidentally, the woman became the wife of Count Garlei the Knight, the first king of the Duchy of Tarkant, which embraces the Labyrinth City. "This cliff is associated with the king of the labyrinth city. So, if a god is going to come out, it should be Tasya, right?" No. Is it because you have the blessing that you are more likely to encounter Val?¡¡Are you sure it''s not some kind of weird marking?¡¡I''ve been thinking about it. "I''m here, too." There''s something sitting there. A small old man. Who is he? I don''t know... but from the way things are going... "Tasya Kigami. Long time no see." Is this the effect of the mystery-solver?¡¡Once you meet God, does it set off a chain of events? I''ve barely made any progress in the main storyline (if there is one). Do we encounter gods this frequently? No, I''ve met Claud too. Is the encounter rate pretty high? "I see Val the Wind God more often than the other gods, but it''s been a while." Listening to the conversation between the two pillars, I stroke my white hair and think that the gods of this world are friendly and open-minded. Well, I''m glad that I don''t have to be afraid or shy in the game world. "I had promised Garlei that I would see to it that this place would not be used as a proving ground again. I came here to see what punishment I could inflict on those who pushed me down, but I flew of my own volition. I would have left him to die alone, but he is not dead and has the blessing of my people. I was just thinking what to do. He is a strange one. He would choose to die in order to return to the city." No, I think a lot of players choose it. It is rare, though, that a player chooses not to die. "Yes, flying is something that will come true in time, since you seem to have sky magic. The first time and the second time he acted for reasons beyond my control. Oops!¡¡I''ll have to work hard on that to get the sky level up! "...... You''ve even been declared an eccentric by the two gods, haven''t you?" Fluff in protest. A white face of dismay as he is made to do. He''s acting weird because he''s a player!¡¡We all do it!¡¡...... maybe . Perhaps it''s because I met Galahad and his friends first, but I have no desire to say out loud that this is a game world or that it is only a game. If I say it out loud, I''m afraid that I''m going to get myself caught up in the game''s logic and the will become just another R!G. I''m just acting out the story. I want to enjoy this world. Somehow the two gods started an old tale, starting with my story. As I listened without disturbing them, I found out that Rhys, the wife of Garlei, who was to jump off the roof of the house, was being tried under false suspicion for having rejected the Viscount''s son in the story. But the truth is that the Viscount has fallen into paganism and has been replaced with something else. The truth is that Reese had the ability to sense and seal something, but he was unaware of it and was cornered by the Viscount who had been replaced by the Viscount. Thanks to Garrey''s efforts, Reese was saved and his existence was successfully sealed, but it is said that the seal is beginning to show signs of fraying. Is this a flag? To the gods, it seems that whether or not the existence is resurrected is nothing more than idle chit-chat. Isn''t it scary to think that the inside of a person has been replaced before you know it? The companion you laughed with yesterday is a different person with those memories. I don''t like it. "I''m sorry, is there any way to prevent this replacement?" I couldn''t resist interrupting. "Yes, but what are you drinking first?" Yes, I was drinking tea, taking advantage of the fact that I was left alone to start an old story. It''s a slightly sour petal tea with a bright red color, like a blend of rose hips and Assam. I''m drinking white too, so we''re equally guilty! I remember that in another game, Peter hated it when the story was going on by itself with only N.C. and not the players, saying "I don''t want to see the play. Tascha liked the black beer and Val liked the herbal tea that made her oral cavity feel refreshed after drinking it. Tasya is drinking black beer and Val is drinking herbal tea that makes her oral cavity feel refreshed after drinking it. We sit in a circle two meters off the ground in the air and have a tea party?¡¡Here we are. "You really don''t have a sense of urgency, do you? "Don''t say that while wetting your chin with tea." White had always been fond of fruit teas, but ruby berry tea was exceptional among them. He wiped his chin with his paw hurriedly. "I don''t want to find myself in a situation where I''ve been replaced, but is there any countermeasure, any way to reverse the replacement or takeover?" I don''t want Galahad and Ruba and others to be replaced or taken over by some event, let alone the players. "You have the alchemy. Tasya asks me with smoked spicy dried meat in his hand, which he was going to give to Kikuhime and Peter. I prepared a few snacks, such as fried cheese and olives wrapped in bagel dough, but Tascha seemed to like dry food. We added dried squid and a small fish, crisped up. He looks like an old man, but his teeth are strong. "Yeah, I haven''t gotten around to it yet." "You seem to have [Light], but not [Purification]. Hmm." "[Purification] is a healer, right?¡¡If I have to learn it to take action, I''ll learn it now." No, it is better to have it, but it is no problem without it. No, it''s better to have it, but it doesn''t matter if you don''t. It''s not as if there are no alternatives. With these words, he turned his knobby, thin-fingered hand upward, and a jewel the size of the tip of his pinky finger appeared in his palm. "This one is called a . It is rarely found in the Sea Serpent." The < in Tascha''s palm is as clear as a drop of water. "You can also get from the Starry Hills, of , , and purification by having the user put the purification into . He lays out the materials as he talks. In the air. and practice repeatedly casting << levitation>> and <> on the spot. If I wasn''t in VR, I would do it while watching TV, but this is a virtual world. It really is something like a training. The simple task is quite hard. I acquired the skill [Overlapping] by using different spells 1000 times alternately. and can be stacked! ...... trap that does not activate magic when applied while the effect lasts. < disappears when you use an offensive skill, but the important thing is that the is still on. I believe that the Holy Master has a dispel that cancels the change of state caused by magic. ....... It''s going to take me a long time to get Healer''s [Recovery], raise it to level 10, change jobs, and ...... it''s going to take a long time!¡¡I''m glad to hear that you can use magic while levitating, huh? But I see. The enchantment level of Shirayuri''s enchantment was high because of this method. I had thought that it would be easier to raise the level of magic of a sorcerer than that of a mage. For now, druid magic can shoot mistletoe, but I''m going to leave it for a while until the other magic levels up. ....... I can''t raise my skills enough!!!! But I must take for the future. <. I decide to go back to the city to get and get a saint out. On foot. If I run, will I learn some kind of running skill?¡¡Let''s give it a try. That''s why I''m running. If I kick the ground consciously, I can gain a lot of distance by leaping. < on, you can jump very fast and smoothly. Is there an effect of ? At first, I couldn''t control it well, and I almost hit a tree or dove face first into the ground, but once I got used to it, it was fun and above all, exhilarating. I still play while moving, but I''ll add next time. Inadvertently, I received the title of "Elegance". The effect is that I can run faster. And it is not practical, because it emits light at will while it stays in the air or floats. I chose a bluish color. As I run, the light flows behind me as if spilling from my body, which is enveloped in a light that looks both blue and white. It is quite a beautiful sight to see a color like the celestial spica I have seen in photographs, flowing into the atmosphere like the light of a firefly, and then disappearing. It''s not practical, though. We do not go out to the streets, but go through the forest. Kicking tree trunks is more fun than kicking the earth plane. In the middle of the journey, I learned when I reached level 10 of sky magic. The effect is a return to the last entrance to the city or structure you left, or to the last gate you touched. Perhaps we should use instead of . < must be a higher rank than the . I mean, if you learn it yourself, you don''t have to alchemize the item to return to the city, do you? For some reason, I''ve always been ready to make and use them. If I had continued on my way, I would have arrived at the city of Sar about a third of the way there. I returned to the temple in the city of Sar, using , which I had just learned. I bought the skill of "recovery" at the temple, though I mean that I made an offering, listened to a grateful sermon, and made the skill of "recovery" appear. In any case, you can get or buy the initial skills at guilds and workshops. This skill is the source of derivation. However, if you are not in the right job for the skill, it will take a long time to derive it. ......[Slash] It is a trap that skills are not derived even though you are in the right job because you do not use them at all. In addition, check the initial skills of other professions between job changes. If you don''t make a decision after choosing a job, you can look at the list of skills that appear in the list. Then I saw [steal] in the skill list of Thief, and I guessed that there would be enemies who steal from players. Fortunately, thanks to the [Detect presence] skill, nothing was taken, and the [Prevent theft] skill appeared on the list. Remembering this, I got ¡¾Anti Theft¡¿. I now have two and >, the other skills are a little more advanced. I regret that I should have learned them before my training. But here''s an email. Me: Peter, do you have the skill of [steal]?¡¡If you have it, I just took [Anti-Theft], so I was wondering if we could use each other''s skills to improve our skills? Peter: I''ve got it, it''s almost evening and I''m heading back to the city, so why don''t we meet up at the restaurant around 16:00 in-game time?¡¡Let''s see if we can do it. w I want to improve my skills too. If I thought I was going to get it, I got it. Well, we still have a little time left, so let''s take a tour of Sir''s town. Before that, I''m going to the guild to report a request or make a delivery or something. "By the way, there are some big trees in the forest. While receiving my guild card back, I asked what had been bothering me. "Oh, those trees are planted to help rebuild the city and to give money to the residents in case of natural disasters or damage by demons. There are notices posted at the entrance of the town and at the guild, but please don''t touch it by mistake because it''s a very important tree that should not be cut down normally. Oops, didn''t see that. I looked in detail here and there in the fast, but I didn''t see it. I''ll be careful. I''ll send a note to Leo, who used to love logging in other games. I''ll send an e-mail to my other friends as well. I tried to ask Ochazuke to post a message on the forum, but he was logged out. After some hesitation, I posted the message myself. I''m not sure if this is the right place to post it, but I''ll post it on the production board and the collecting board!¡¡I guess it''s OK. Both the temple and the guild are not as large as the city of Fast, but only a little larger than ordinary stores. The guild is also an inn. It is a busy town now with adventurers (players) moving from the fast town, but I guess it is usually a quiet town. As a fellow player, I would like to nip any buds that might cause trouble. Woodworking is very popular in Sar. From large furniture makers to carvers. There are also many hunters and lumberjacks. At first, we bought the tubs and barrels we wanted. After that, we visit a furniture store. Although they are selling furniture, many of them are small stores that display the finished furniture as samples until the time they receive the order, so it seems that the furniture is basically made to order according to the customer''s wishes. The furniture ranges from stately, utilitarian pieces like the countertops at Guild to gracefully curved pieces with cat feet. It''s a sight for sore eyes. If you want furniture, you want a house to put it in!¡¡I just bought a table and chairs!!! I stopped looking at the dangerous furniture and went to the workshop of a woodworker. The pieces of wood of different colors are pasted together to form patterns and made larger, and then shaved into boards to make coasters, boxes, and sometimes large pieces of furniture such as tables. This is the workshop where they make the kumiki boards. I decided to give it a try because they said they would let me make a coaster with a pattern I had made myself by combining pieces of wood that had already been shaped into a rhombus, square, or other three-centimeter-long stick shape. Of course, there is a fee for this service, but it is a small price to pay for the skill and the occupation that I am sure will come with it. I can imagine that I will not have time to level up and will be left alone, but there is a big difference between being able to do it and not being able to do it!¡¡I think. Before that, I''d like to go to the S! wall, but let''s put it on the list. For the time being, I decided to make a simple piece of dark chocolate-colored wood and a piece of white wood, combined in a checkerboard pattern. I cut it into six pieces with the edges trimmed off, and finished by trimming the corners and glazing. The result is a coaster that looks like a cookie. Why didn''t I make a barrel? If I was going to learn anyway, why didn''t I just make what I would or wanted to make in the future, assuming inside the city > inside the building, but in the inn, << light> activates, but [steal] does not. Is the innkeeper trying to prevent crime? Stealing] and [Prevent Stealing] make us look suspiciously like two people facing each other, with Peter touching me and me sometimes preventing him from doing so. It would be more natural if we were preventing [stealing] while passing each other in battle. The production facility successfully avoids the suspicious-looking appearance with Peter''s information that both parties can be in the same room if they pay a fee. No, I think the suspiciousness level is rising in a private room with two men and not much space. And since their durability is lowered, they are in their initial clothes with their protective gear off. I''ll just say it''s OK as long as no one sees us. ....... By the way, I put all my items in storage and have 99 herbs. At any rate, these two skills seem to give more experience if the action is successful. "Peter, your eyes are very special. "Yes, I found how to make them on the Internet, so I made the eyes myself. I don''t know how to describe Peter''s eyes, but they give the impression of being a bit mechanical. The color is pale blue. "Maximum height again?" No, it is a little lower than the maximum. Isn''t Singh the biggest?" "I thought it was a chemo-ear error." Since we are facing each other at close range, let''s take a moment to observe each other''s characters again. "I read on the forum that [Stealing] and [Preventing Stealing] are both affected by dexterity and speed in addition to skill level, and that [Stealing] has a lower success rate than [Preventing Stealing], but this also affects [Detecting Signs], right?" "It would be blatant. If the success rate of stealing was high from the beginning, non-sheep players would be out of luck!¡¡And the message board, I''m too scared to read what spoilers are on it, how can you read it?" "Well, if the success rate is high, people will be able to steal all they want from those who don''t have [anti-theft protection]. At any rate, the success rate is said to be somewhat high except for humanoid, so I wonder if it''s possible to steal from demons or something. While mutually applying their skills to each other - although [Anti-theft] is passive and is automatically activated when [Steal] is used on oneself - they talk. The reason why you can tell that [presence detection] is involved is because, in addition to [steal] and [theft prevention], each other''s level of [presence detection] has increased by only one level. "Oh, you now have a choice when you [steal]. You can choose between item or sil." "Oh, goodness gracious." I am doing it with the light on, taking advantage of the fact that [Anti-theft] is passive. The light can be turned off at will, so it can be turned on repeatedly. "Isn''t this increasing the success rate of [Stealing] if I wear it when I activate the skill?" "Ah, I think so. When you use it in the real world, it would be better to put it on the target when the skill is activated or when the target takes some action. "[Anti-stealing] seems to increase the protection rate if you actually notice and can predict the opponent''s movement. There are times when you can''t prevent it even if you can see it, though." "Why don''t you try preventing it manually?" "Even if he senses it, it won''t stop Peter''s speed." Don''t underestimate the slowness of an ex-mage with initial equipment! We continued like this, talking small talk until midnight, when Peter''s [Stealing] reached 20. After a short break, we promised to go to the field to see the results, logged out, had a snack in the real world, and logged in again. "I used to have almost no successes, but now I get one success out of every three against lower level opponents." Right now, I''m playing whole shadow and recovery behind Peter who is trying to steal against a goblin. With two people, I have to shadow myself to avoid attacks, so I''m glad I have [ranged magic]. Either way, the will be removed by the actions of [steal] and [recovery]. Once the battle was over, a chaplain, a thief and a rogue, and a hunter were added to the list of professions, and a woodworker was also added to the list of available skills. The reason why there is no bowman is because he does not learn [Throwing], or maybe because the rogue has the sword skill instead. What is the difference between professions that appear directly, such as [summoner], and those that do not?¡¡Whether or not the thing to be used is acquired?¡¡Skills direct acquisition or not?¡¡What is the difference between what skills can and cannot be acquired directly?¡¡...... to find out later. Regardless, I don''t have enough skill points!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!¡¡I haven''t even put up my skills yet, but I want to get [crafted]! I can make trinkets with [crafting], right?¡¡I''m not going to leave Tascha''s thing to others, and I''m not going to leave the jewelry (?) to others. It''s hard to handle it as it is. I have to be able to make accessories. through the goblins'' flanks. ...... can use the skill twice? I''d like to have some. "What can you steal?" "<>. I''m on Sil. I think I have more success with sills." "What''s the dirty ...... for?" "I don''t know." "But I''ve never seen it as a drop, so can you steal items that aren''t normally available by stealing?" "I don''t know, the mole I just saw was the same as the drop I got when I killed it." "Oh, by the way, I found the assassin''s guild, too." "You''re in the same business." It seems so. "If we''re in the same business, I don''t mind talking to you except for assassination requests, but I''m afraid my skills might be restricted. I''d love to talk to you. "It''s inconvenient, but I''m not sure if it''s a good idea to say that we all have the same skills." "Yes. Maybe we can talk about different professions." "I just got confirmed as a peer, that''s terrible." "Huh." We never stop improving our skills, but we linger on. ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ...more...

"No, I''m not comfortable first." It''s my imagination. No, no, no. We are now resting on the footpath between the forest and the wheat field. We set up a hideaway as a picnic sheet, and set up the table and chairs we bought at Sir''s. We are eating a salad with steamed chicken--steamed doudou, consomm¨¦ soup with onions and bacon, grilled hamburger steak with cheese, grilled tomatoes, small potatoes and green beans fried whole, and ruby berry sherbet as an accompaniment. He is. Beer and tea. "If you care, you''ll lose." "Sometimes it hurts to look at the players who come all the way from the street to watch." "Because without a table, it would be hard to eat a hamburger or something, wouldn''t it?¡¡Do you want a grilled skewer?" "I don''t think I''ll mind." Peter easily reverses his statement, refreshing. I''ll buy an iron table if it''s on sale, so that it will more or less match the outdoors. An elegant table with cat legs and upholstered chairs would be too conspicuous next to a wheat field. At least in the daytime. I have an outdoor lamp that I bought along with the cloaking lamp, but players with night vision or those who seem to have noticed my silhouette come up to me and move away. The table is slightly brightened by the magic light. It was too dark to claim moody, so I added more light sources with <. "So?¡¡What do we do now?¡¡Any quests you''re in the middle of or anywhere else you want to go?" He speaks to Peter, who is chomping down on a hamburger steak. "Well, I''d like to get some deerskin for my equipment. I''m good with deer one-on-one, but I have a biased skill set that makes it hard for wolves to take on multiple deer at the moment. Are you specialized in target assassination or assassination? Peter says that he has too many fine skills to improve them, but I''m a bit suspicious of him because of his daily activities. "I think the two of us could make it, since I was able to do it around Sir. < and . He does not have a <. Peter, Kikuhime, and Ochazuke can tell. I don''t mind them finding out about Leo and Shin, but I''m afraid they''ll slip up and tell the others. Why are they so rigid and tight in the real world, but so careless in this world? < in public because it looks kind of weird! "Well, can I have some deerskin?" "Yes, yes." That''s what happened. "Did you get the homura?" Peter must have gotten it, judging from the way he asked. "I don''t know if it''s a running technique, but I''m moving faster now. You want to try it?" "Oh." "It''s blue, but it looks like a bunch of fireflies." That one is a total assassin." Impressions of each other''s effects. Peter also received a title when he ran the way he had learned to run. The black shadowy haze that surrounds his body is like a flame. He could have chosen the color, but he chose black with a slight reddish tinge or greenish black, but he chose black with a bluish tinge to match his hair. The running style itself is ninja-like, moving from tree to tree, from shadow to shadow. I tried to see a lone deer as much as possible, but at night, I noticed only herds of deer. I took a chance and hunted three deer, but the battle was easier than I had expected. "They are so strong, I mean, they are so much faster than me, I have no place to stand. "I just have better equipment, I want to improve my skill level and real skill level. Peter is kind of specialized strength, I''m not saying in which direction." I''m a big fan of the H!? I also have a problem with the offensive power of Peter, but it''s not a problem. I''m so glad I took the medicine!¡¡H!? The battle is a battle of decreasing H! What about recovery magic? I''m applying it, okay? Kill them before they take damage! I''m in a state of shock, so after the battle is over. My spirit is 1.5 times more effective than the master ring, but my level of ...... and [recovery] is also low. It is better than Leo''s recovery magic before. No, I just don''t have the time to do it because of the "kill before you are killed" method! On the way, the place where we met < of Ochazuke was a mining point. We got a <. A spirit stone is a gemstone that is often attached to wands and other items during production, and is popular among those who specialize in certain attributes. The effect is strong, but it is useless for me, who uses all the attributes. If the magic stone comes from demons, this is a spirit stone, so it is easy to get it from the place where the spirit appears. It is said that you can sometimes get a spirit stone by befriending a blessed spirit, but unfortunately I have not received one yet. "[Shadow Blade]!" "<>" When [Dark Magic] reaches 20, several ravens with black auras appear and rush toward the target, having learned attack magic. They are powerful for being level 20. For the first time, the waiting time for chanting is just a little bit like lag. And then Peter comes out of the shadow of the deer and slashes upward with some kind of technique. He slowly sinks into his own shadow, then emerges from the shadow of his attacker and quickly slashes up. It''s kind of cool. "That''s a cool move." "Right?¡¡It''s an assassination-type thing. I don''t know, I think it''s a little more powerful." He seems pleased with the compliment. "Does the dark attribute increase the power of an assassin?" "I''ll go up." "I have the blessing of the Dark God, and the effect of the blessing is on the party, I guess." "Ah!¡¡The one we just encountered in the woods around here!" "Oh, yeah. It''s supposed to increase item drops." "Wow, I should have left Shin and the others behind when they called me." Oh, Shin, Leo, Shin and Leo had all the time in the world to fish for enemies?¡¡So you were chased by deer and bears and stuff? "Oh, by the way, I got the blessing of the wind god and the blessing of the water god." "Not only do you have blessings and favor, but also blessings?" "Rather, is there such a thing as favor?¡¡The blessing is the one with a lowered effect that you can get after asking someone who solves riddles. I accidentally saw it on the bulletin board and had no choice but to take it. "Bulletin boards are dangerous!¡¡I heard that the blessing of the wind god makes it easier to raise the level of skills. What''s the water?" "Hoho?¡¡I thought it was just a compatibility increase with the attributes." "I asked a resident with a higher appraisal level to look at it, and he said it has such an effect. It seems that if you have a low appraisal level, you can''t see all the explanations." "Homura has the wind blessing too, right?" "Yes, you have." "All right, I''ll try to improve my skills." Peter is dashing to the next deer, saying, "No wonder [Stealing], which was so hard to raise, is raised so much. I wonder where I can get the blessing of Phar, the god of water. When Peter disappears, the enemy''s target is me. Of course, there are only two of us. I dodge with my sword, and thanks to [Sight Failure], the damage I would have taken even if I had dodged it is completely zero. No, I''m level 6, so even though I have , I still get hit sometimes, but I''m glad I took . Peter is catching enemies so fast with his search-and-attack strategy that I don''t have time to call up <>. I have to kill the enemies in a hurry, so I don''t have time to use <. Peter is serious about leveling up. It is faster to catch him with the sword than to call <. And by the way, I used and the monsters came to me.... I''m trying to get rid of them with my sword, but since Peter is here, I''d like to give him a lower level of magic. If it''s a deer, Peter''s blow and my magic will be enough to defeat it. Except for Darkness, his level is low, but he has double INT!¡¡Master ring!!!!¡¡Because of the equipment limitation of weapons, they are not as strong as Warriors, but they are more than strong enough. When there are more than two of them, use [Dark Magic] or [Lightning]. By the way, <> sometimes paralyzed the enemy, and when paralyzed, he could steal as much as he wanted, but he could not fail, and if he took two pieces, he could not steal from those who had nothing. Peter''s level has gone up. Maybe it''s because of his favoritism, but his AGI (agility) has gone up like crazy!¡¡My eyes just darted! So I was repeatedly using my sword to pass them off and then using [equipment change] to take out my wand and use magic, and then the announcement came. By changing weapons and defeating 1,000 enemies above the appropriate level in a row, the skill [Change Equipment] will lead to the higher level skill [Weapon Retention]. Why is the higher level of change holding?¡¡And now you''ve added a level? I learned some skills. I got one, too. Peter seems to have learned something too. "Is 1,000 fish a standard for a party?" If it''s a party, does that mean Peter also acquired some skills solo? "I guess, when I first came here, I took a lot of breaks from collecting and such, and it was a waste of time.¡¡What did you learn?" "I learned, or rather, I learned how to [surprise] while [shadow diving]." "You seem strong." "I''m getting better at shadow diving, and I''m getting faster at it, so I think I''m strong in a one-on-one fight.¡¡If you can''t kill them with a single blow and they counterattack, your defense is paper-thin, and if there''s more than one, they''ll notice you before you can dive and you''ll be out. What about you?" "This one is called [Weapon Retention], which is a higher level conversion of [Equipment Change], but it looks like you can use two of them out in the surrounding area?¡¡It doesn''t really ring a bell." "Why don''t you try it anyway?" A wand floats within arm''s reach of my body. It seems possible to activate magic while swinging the sword. If I hold it with my dominant hand while it floats, the power is normal; if I don''t touch it, the power is reduced to about a quarter of the normal power. The fact that there is a level of power may mean that the power of the sword can be improved. The sword I let go of when I grasped the staff is still floating around me. It seems that I can activate my skills without touching it. "So, there is such a form of double-skill? "Peter has a double skill?¡¡Are there levels?" Come to think of it, didn''t Peter use something like that?¡¡That''s what I''m thinking. "No. Even if I use two of them, it won''t lower the power, but if I use it during [Shadow Diving] or , the state will be canceled, so I''m thankful for the skill I just took. Do you have a level there?" "It''s perfect." "I''m looking forward to seeing more of it." "It''s strange that physical skills, aside from magic, come out even if you don''t swing a sword or something. The tip of the sword is aimed at the target, but..." "My [double skill] is used by holding the gem, so it''s strange that it comes out of a floating sword. It''s nice to have a skill that comes directly from experience, even though I don''t have enough skill points. "[Wise man] got a title that has the effect of -1 skill point for acquiring legal skills, right?¡¡It costs at least 1 and does not go down to zero. I''m sure there''s one for physics and stuff like that." "I''d be glad to have it. I think I ...... took magic, bandit skills, and assassin skills equally." "You''re still aiming for a tricky fighting style." "It''s fun. Oh, no. I was so busy building up my skills that I didn''t take into account the time it takes to get back to the city." Solo Solo break, in reality it would have been lunch time and time for Peter to go to work. "Yeah, I''ll take care of that." The first return spell is unveiled. I wonder if I would be the only one to return if it weren''t for this [range magic]. "Really?" The first word about the transfer gate, "Really? "I thought there would be a return or a transition, but I guess it''s magic... I wonder if I can get a transition without taking the light." Peter has been struggling with his skill points and has acquired [dark magic] first without having acquired [earth magic] yet. I hope he can get 10 kinds of magic soon, but I can''t tell you because I don''t want him to be unable to get them. I can''t tell you because I don''t want to tell you so that you can''t get it. "Homura has already taken light, and spoiler alert, some of the assassin skills require that you don''t have light, so I''m going to keep it that way." "I see, so you live in the dark?¡¡I think you can get [sky magic] that can be used for return even if you don''t take light. Besides, you might be able to get another skill that can be substituted for it, just like the double-skill?" Let''s hope so." "Also, I wonder if I can make items for the return if I have <>, maybe." "I''ve never seen a ''nothing'' before..." "I don''t have any either. Well, I''ll look for it patiently. "No, I''ll look for it as soon as possible." Peter ran off to the inn, saying he would bring back the stone when he found it. Time is running out in the real world. I walk out into the city at night to get to the inn. My regular lodging is a small inn off the main street that Luba introduced to me. It is not an inn for adventurers, and the innkeeper is probably already asleep. The key to the inn is not left at the front desk but left with the guest so that late night guests can come and go as they please, although I can still enter the inn at this hour. When I first heard about this, I wondered if the security was safe, but it seems that there is no problem because the key is a magic key, and if the key is not returned after the reservation period, the door cannot be opened with that key. One key opens the front door and the door to your room, and when you return the key at the end of your stay, you get some of the room charge back. The food prepared by the hostess here is quite delicious, and I regret that I cannot eat it today. I take a bath in my room and crawl into bed. The nice thing about this place is that even single occupancy rooms have a bath. The rooms are small and almost full of beds, though. Well, what am I going to do when I wake up? I need to make an accessory to equip the <<> that Tasya made for me, and I should put it on the list of [crafting] before I accumulate skill points for the time being. I heard that there are dwarven blacksmiths and craftsmen in King''s Landing. It might be better to learn in King''s Landing. So the magic stone processing is in King''s Landing, too. I must go to Wangdu. I turn off the lamp on the side table, thinking about the production skills. ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ Increase...

Today''s eggs are a fluffy omelette. Two kinds of ham and three kinds of sausage. Three kinds of cheese. Soup, today tomato, beans and bacon. Fruit juice or fruit. Tea or coffee. Like the first big inn, the breakfast at this inn is a traditional Western-style breakfast. The bread, sausages, soups, and egg dishes are prepared in different ways, but the basic menu remains the same. I heard that some inns for adventurers serve a lot of meat in the morning. It''s physical labor!¡¡I''m fine with this for breakfast because if I''m hungry I''ll make my own food and eat it on the spot. I''m happy to eat fresh bread in the morning. One of the jams I thought was jam was liver paste. Since this is basically a Western-style meal, white rice, soy sauce and ponzu are often used in the real world. Thanks to this, I am eating a healthy diet. Japanese food is on the menu soon! No lunch. In the evening, you can choose fish or meat for the main course, for an additional charge. There are people like me last night who can''t get home in time for dinner. You can also pay for dinner when you apply for accommodation, and it''s cheaper if you eat every day. The lodging fee is basically paid in advance. "Master, could you use this for dinner?¡¡Of course, other guests are welcome to eat it." With that, he serves them venison and venison loin meat that he has obtained. I hunted a lot, but I wondered if the skin and venison were the normal drops and the antlers and loin were rare, or if it was because of Verna''s blessing that there were more loin drops than when I first went to the forest. Well, they are rare enough to be found in normal hunting. Let''s give a little back to this world. "Deer loin. You can''t buy that many, can you?" "It''s a byproduct of the deerskin, not the money. I''d like to try my husband''s venison, but I don''t want to eat something else by myself, so feel free to use it to cook at the inn. "The venison is one thing, but the loin is expensive because it''s so scarce. All right, I''ll give you a little discount on your next stay." I wave to the owner and leave the diner. The innkeeper is a very law-abiding man, as he is an acquaintance of Luba''s. We leave the inn and walk through the city in the morning. While he is on the move, he calls out to White. <> When I checked with White, who had come to a fixed position on my shoulder, I received such a reply. <<< Don''t bother! >> <<< Don''t bother! >> For now, I''m going to press my face against it and enjoy its soft white fur. I have an ambition to bury my face in its belly someday! If the archives are open early in the morning, we can stop by the archives. I am astonished in front of my storage. > << > < I set the highest price for everything but the food. Is it a congratulatory price for something rare?¡¡The guild''s liquor bill is also quite high. The amount of liquor sold to the guild was much higher than the amount of liquor sold on a restricted consignment basis. Where did they sell it to? The money I had spent on production has not only been restored, but exceeded. I''ll try to read the sales history and comments from the customers. Black Lily: Your medicine is wonderful! ............ I''ll pretend I didn''t see that. You know, if you''ve been in that mushroom dungeon, you''re going to want <, I know that, but don''t buy it all!¡¡It''s my fault for not putting a limit on purchases because I didn''t think they would sell out. Next time, I''ll set it so that each person can only buy five until I update the new items for sale. Yeah, but he''s got two parties of cronies. I think the medicines are 60+ each time and not available to others. ...... It seems that they couldn''t even buy up the active drugs. Many people bought the first three bottles, and if I had sold them at a lower price, they would have bought them all, so I guess I was right to charge a high price. From reading some of the comments, it seems that they are buying them for the boss battles. By the way, a bottle of active medicine costs 900 shillings of life and 1,000 shillings of magic. I think it is bad that the serum costs 200 shill. The price of the potion is unbelievable, but I think the effect is also unbelievable, so please bear with me. I mean, the price and the amount of recovery should be something that will come out after high potions are available in the market. Well, it doesn''t matter. Most of the comments are either "thank you" or "it was delicious!¡¡But when I read through them, there are also comments on products and non-buying and selling. Hinata: I don''t mean to be a nag, but I think it would be better if you could at least put the name of the producer to prevent resale. It''s the highest price set and I don''t feel like reselling or f*cking... Hinata: Trading on the plaza without using commercial guild facilities can be a breeding ground for fraud. I don''t know if the first sentence was a character limit or if there was a second sentence. Oh, it''s going to be a month of increased enforcement for Mosburger. I remember that I thought the guild leader''s name was similar to the guild leader''s, but I can''t remember the correct name. I checked the Patoka and found it was Moss-Bower. Maybe I should just call it Mos Burger. I can reply to comments, but I''m going to leave all of them alone. Anyway, I removed the naming disablement of the production, and I entered with Lenguard since I had a choice between Homura and Lenguard. I''ll stay in the apothecary guild or the production facility at night. I would like to see old man Pieg''s face, so I think I will go to the apothecary''s guild. The commercial guild is a bright and shiny facility with white floors, while the adventurers'' guild across the street is a stately building with dark dark brown floors. "Good afternoon, I have a request to report. "Hello, Homura-sama." I ask Pram to settle the request. The goblins always deliver wolves and other drops from the request. I''ll keep the magic stone, it''s useful not only for strengthening but also for alchemy, judging from the impression of the name. "With the number of requests completed so far, I have fulfilled the condition for promotion to C rank. There are still some items left to deliver, what would you like to do?¡¡Would you like to be promoted to C rank and then report back?" "No, it''s a hassle and it''s going to put pressure on my luggage, so please just settle it." Yes, but the C-rank exam already? There are others who have fulfilled the requirements, but most of them chose easy requests and completed them. Plum compliments me with a smile. This is what it means to smile like a blooming flower. It''s a feast for the eyes. "You can take the test for promotion to C-rank, how would you like to do it?" Please." Yes. The test for rank C is to go to the headquarters of the Adventurers'' Guild in King''s Landing and come back here to have this form signed. The deadline is within 12 hours after receiving the signature. If you fail and have to take the test again, you will have to complete half of the number of requests for promotion again. Take the document offered by Plum. It is rolled up, tied with a string, and sealed with a wax seal with the emblem of Fast''s guild on the knot. I wonder if it would be a failure if I saw what is inside. The fact that it is sealed is probably not to be looked at, even if it is polite to do so. I almost imagine that I''m being forced to carry some dangerous documents without knowing what I''m carrying, and then I come back to my senses. "I see, I have to open the transfer gate of the temple in the capital..." "Yes, even a horse-drawn carriage would take a whole day from the city of Foss. "May I ask what''s in the documents?" It''s a secret. It''s an internal guild document, so it won''t incriminate you in any way. "Yes, sir." "I''m sorry to have to process all your requests at once, but if you don''t mind, the receptionists will be happy to help you." I offer you a baked good. Hazelnut cookies, chocolate chip, sable, savory cookies. Yes, packing up. The first time I made cookies, I baked a small batch of various cookies to try them out. I could have served them after the party meal, but they eat cookies if they have them. Me neither. Besides, I need to clear out my stuff for the upcoming production. I was using one slot for each kind, so this will be a lot cleaner. "You sure you don''t mind?" The sweet smell of the item wafts through the air as you remove it from its pouch. It''s a trap to appear on a plate without wrapping. "...... unwrapped and handmade, if you don''t feel bad." I''ll buy a wrapping box or some other presentable container later. However, as soon as the fresh baked goods were baked, they were thrown into the porch so that not only sweet but also savory smells are spreading. The receptionist next to me notices the smell and looks at me. Isn''t this a pretty common practice in fantasy novels to give a gift to the receptionist of an adventurer''s guild? Though the reason why I brought it to her is a bit too good. But whatever. Well then... He greets me with a blank smile, though he is quite upset when he shows up with a plate of food, and heads for the reference room. When I open the door to the reference room, Al, who was writing a book, looks up and calls out to me. "Hello, it''s rare to see an adventurer from the outside coming here twice. "Really?" "Yeah, we usually check the distribution of monsters and their weak points, and that''s it. "This is the place that seems to offer the most practical and accessible solutions to adventurers'' questions." "Everyone wants to learn by doing." Al makes a smile. "Do you have the materials for the traps?" "Yes. The one that hangs?¡¡The solving one?" "I''m a solver, but I''d like to know how to hang them. "You are very diligent." I transcribe the material that Al has prepared for me. It covers everything from dungeon traps to traps that hunters set in the forest. Basically, it seems that magical traps can be disarmed by and physical traps can be disarmed by . A compound trap that can only be solved by using both and is a foul! It may be a result of the trap designers developing more and more complicated traps. I guess we should keep . Or maybe I should just heal myself after being hit for a long time and not fight back, and work on improving my recovery magic. I wonder if the skills will branch out and appear in the list of available skills.¡¡I don''t like it. I thought that dispelling magic traps is a holy priest''s magic, and if there is a trap dungeon, it will be hard for those who have specialized jobs, but then I thought again that it is not a problem for those who have specialized jobs because they are in a party. No need to do it all by yourself. "...... has the structure of the locks, is this okay?" "No problem, read it and practice with this." Al brought the actual lock. "Here''s a tool, you can buy the same one downstairs." It was like the seven tools of an overt bandit. "And this one." The other seems to be a magic lock. It was quite fun to use the seven tools to open the locks. And when you succeed, you learn a skill. When I was surprised, Al explained it to me. You have to learn [unlock] here and at the Thieves'' Guild, and [unlock] here and at the Mages'' Guild, where you will be taught directly by the guild members. Those who learn [unlock] are put on the list. "The list?" "If you do anything wrong, you''ll be caught immediately." "I see." "In theory, yes. In reality, some people with bad habits learn the skill." I mean, is there a sorcerers'' guild? "In the royal capital, at least?¡¡There''s not a lot of magic in this country." "I was surprised, there didn''t seem to be any, so I thought it was some weird underground guild." Like the Assassins Guild. A trap that I had a hard time unlocking. I was told that the skill level of a shifu must be over 20 and the skill level of a mage must be over 20 to unlock a magic lock. The thief''s skill level for [Unlock] is 20, so it''s safe. I heard that there are many successful cases of [unlocking], [unlocking], and [trap release] with experience and knowledge of the structure. --Of course, dexterity is also necessary. By the way, it is possible to acquire leveled skills of [unlocking] and [untrapping] at the Thief Guild, which is completely based on the level of the skill. Recommended for clumsy people. "Thanks for your help. You can eat it later if you like." "I''m afraid the ladies will be jealous if they find out about this again, and eating and drinking are not allowed here." Al accepts the galette with a smile. Is he pleased or annoyed? "Next time, put them in a box so they don''t get caught." "Yes, sir." Let''s get a box. I''m supposed to be organizing my stuff, but what am I supposed to do with more stuff? We have more medicines, more drops, maybe a new item pouch. Once again, I spent a lot of time in the reference room. It''s a little early for me, but after lunch I''m going to gather item pouches and materials!¡¡...... Hey, shouldn''t you have been at the Commercial Guild earlier to see what the players were selling?¡¡Well, it''s close enough. We leave the Adventurers'' Guild after purchasing the seven tools without missing a beat. The guild of commerce again. Talking to the receptionist at the consignment desk or accessing the consignment section of my storage, I see a list of items consigned by players, and players are crowding the counter. I was told that there was already a vendor in the street in the southwest, and that a commercial guild member was stationed in that corner to sell consigned goods, so I decided to go there to see what was going on. There is also a stall selling foodstuffs on the way. After leaving the guild, we go around the back of the arms store and pass through the stalls selling foodstuffs and miscellaneous goods. As you pass through, buy the ingredients you use most often. Monster-drop ingredients are cheaper to buy from players, so do not buy them here. I heard that the slum was a bit noisy ...... because of its proximity to the slum, but they have improved the slum and expanded the location of the stalls. In case you are wondering, there is a guard stationed at the slum end of the stalls, which indicates that not only the commercial guilds but also the lords of the area are involved in this project. I wonder if the players'' bazaar was such a headache for the city. Or are they expecting a big economic impact from the players'' stalls? I look around the stalls with a subtle thought. It is sad to see that only five stalls are still occupied. Others may be in the process of saving up some funds through consignment. As soon as the permission to open a stall was given, only a few of them could prepare the sil. I found that there were apothecaries, sword makers, armor makers, clothing makers, and daily clothes makers. The daily wear is not for fighting but for dressing up in the city. From a distance, I wondered if they were clothes or not.¡¡Is it cloth?¡¡The lineup ranged from the "gothic lolita" to the "gothic lolita. Well, I, as a man, have no use for them. I have no plans to buy one and give it to someone. I don''t know any more details because the place was filled with smallest girls of smallest height, and in many ways, I couldn''t get close to them. Customers are crammed into a small space that looks like a simple tent with a four-meter frontage. The exhibits can be picked up, but they cannot be separated from the display area by more than one meter, and if one tries to remove them further, they disappear from one''s hands and return to the original display area. Items for sale are taken out of storage by the owner and sold. The exhibits are also on display, but in reality they remain in the stall''s storage. Items can only be taken out of the stall if you pay a shill, and the owner is not allowed to replace the items that the customers have selected. At the bazaar in the square, there have been scams such as payment missing one zero or running away at the time of delivery, or vice versa, where the seller only takes the money and runs away, or gives a lower evaluation ...... than the one he was showing when giving it to the customer. Fortunately, combat clothing stores also offer men''s clothing. As I was looking at the clothes, I found that the performance is not so bad, but it seems that the embroidery is done from here to increase the skills that the customers want. The clothes themselves are made by a different person, and although the embroidery person is currently alone in the store, there are basically two people in the store, and the person in charge of the clothes has the option of dyeing them in the color of his choice. Dyeing can be done on items made by the customer, items without inscriptions, and items that are not of a fixed color, such as black fatty. Embroidery skills are different depending on the threads used and the design. I listened to the explanation with other customers. I''ve never heard of an embroiderer. It seems that there are so many different professions in this world. Since there are only five stores, there are quite a few customers at the stalls even though it is a time when there are few people around. It is good if you want to fade away without buying anything, but not so good if you really want to buy something. The apothecary has a wide variety of potions and various resistance medicines ......, and I could only look at the recipes, making your own is currently more appreciated and cheaper. Long live the gloves of skill! The sword shop handled a variety of blades. They are carefully made and beautifully shaped (form). They have good performance. I bought several slim knives. I have no skill in throwing or daggers. £¡£¡£¡£¡£¡ In the armor shop I found a breastplate. It is rated at 6, slightly better than the <>. It is white in color and elegant enough to be worn under a coat. It has a pattern of ivy in a soothing greenish color extending from the sides to the chest. The color matches my coat. Elegant may be an overstatement. < is a dull green color with a surface that is somewhere between bumpy and warty. ....... <. I know it''s a waste of money to buy a new one, but I''ll buy it! "That breastplate is made of , isn''t it?" Once I had made my decision, the owner spoke to me. ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ Increase Skill [Open] [Unlock ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ Homura Lv.32 Rank D Occupation Mage Swordsman, Pharmacist (Assassin) H!?¡¡¡¡ 1057 M!?¡¡¡¡1335 STR 44 VIT 24 INT 71 MID 20 DEX 26 AGI 45 LUK 25 N!?C!?¡¡[Galahad] [-].

She had long, pale cherry-colored hair tied up with white flowers and was wearing a long, shiny white china dress that showed off her slender legs. Her skin is as white as her clothes. Her breasts are flat. ...... female, right? "If you have a <>, I''ll trade you that breastplate." "Exchange?¡¡Why, it would be a loss for the store, wouldn''t it?" There will never be just one material. You lose at least that much material. "We have enough money for a normal sale. I''d rather improve my production skills now than make a profit, and I''d like to handle the highest grade materials possible. I want to deal with high rank materials as much as possible. But boss drops are still scarce in the market. If you have any of them, I''d like you to give them to me. He looks up at me. "It''s not a bad deal, is it?" What do you think?¡¡He tilts his head as if to say, "I''m sorry. "So you''re good at producing and you''re rated a 5. If it''s mutually beneficial, there''s no reason to say no. I''ll accept the exchange. "Thank you. As you can see, I''m good at chest-pieces. Not only am I good at it, but I have the title of [Blessed by the God of Blacksmithing]. If you use the circle moss for the breastplate, you can be sure that the rating will be 6. If it fails, you can''t count on it, but if you''re good at producing, you can''t fail. God of blacksmithing? "The god of blacksmithing?¡¡Are there more than just the gods of the temple?" "Oh, no?¡¡Didn''t you hear the world announcement?¡¡It was still early days with the bugs, so I''m not sure if I''m missing something?¡¡You should check the world announcements in the menu. He explained it softly and carefully. It seems that in addition to the higher deities such as the gods of the temple, there are various other gods in each lineage. They are said to grant blessings and titles more readily than the higher deities. The effect is not so great. The god of blacksmithing is the god who appeared when Lusha, the god of gold, caught the breath of Asha, the god of fire, and struck his sword for the first time, and is said to give blessings and titles which, as the name suggests, compensate blacksmithing production. Yes, when I looked at the menu, I saw that the world announcer who received the first blessing of the god received the blessing of [God of Cobblestone]. I am very curious to know what kind of blessing it is. ...... Are the blessings and titles of the higher gods hard to get?¡¡Peter also has the blessing of the god of water. What''s that? "Does Homura have a consignment contract?" I do. "Well, I''d like to buy one of these chests for sale at this price, if you don''t mind." "Hmm?¡¡Can''t we just exchange them here?" "Homura is fine if you want, but direct exchange is frowned upon because of rampant fraud. Circlemoss is a boss drop and has a fixed rating, so it can''t be faked, but player-made items are easy to swap for something with a lower rating or to commit fraud. "Yeah, I''ve heard that before. I don''t care about the exchange, if you''ve already set up your stall this early in the game, you''re going to keep on selling. I don''t think they''re trying to scam us." And I want to get out of here as soon as possible because it''s a hassle to move. "Oh, you trust me. I''m glad you trust me. I quickly exchanged breastplates with Elias, who smiled at me. "I specialize in making light equipment such as breastplates, cuirasses, and legs," Elias said. But the materials are a little more special, and they are drop materials from monsters. I tried to use monster materials because I thought that ordinary minerals would be uninteresting, but I failed because I was too vigorous." Oh, so he had an idea of how to get [specialty] and tried to set it to "monster parts", but inadvertently produced "drop equipment" from the material. "Yes, I want you to bring me the dropped armor so that I can buy it. I''ll pay more if it''s of a rank that will increase the level of production. "The equipment that would raise your production level would be of a rank that you would want to equip yourself with, but the ...... cloak is out of your range, right?" If it''s a cloak, I got a drop from Griffin, so I have an extra yagyakulu, but for all intents and purposes it''s the dressmaker''s one. "The cloak is for the seamstress. If I find something I don''t need, that''s fine. Sure enough, that was the answer. "Is it possible to buy the equipment made only for the cost of other materials, instead of buying it?" "It is possible to exchange the same equipment that you have already made, but I don''t ask you to wait for the production process with the materials you received. The use of materials that would increase my production level is almost always fixed at a rating of 6, so there''s no point in waiting or making me wait. "Oh, well, I don''t know the market price, but I''d like to trade you my equipment for this." Even if you don''t know the market price, we will offer to exchange it for an equivalent one without any hassle. "I''ve never seen ......... before." Elias lets out a mumbled sound. Ah, <> is Griffin''s <>!¡¡It''s a trap that I had overlooked the fact that it was the reward for the first solo defeat, because the solo defeat reward is so high in ability. I had no intention of offering or . Besides, they are both sewing .... These two are of good design, so I''m going to use them as they are. The <> has feathers growing out from the elbow, and is white with brown and ochre patterns. It is not a bad design, but I do not like it, so I may replace it with a modified version. The performance should be better with a rating of 6. "This is the first dungeon in Hoth that I''ve ever killed, come to think of it. I guess it doesn''t count as a boss drop." There should only be twelve in the world. Twelve, that''s amazing to think about! (Late) The solo rewards are stronger, though! ...I knew that solo defeat was long overdue, I''m sure. "No, I''m sure it''s caught in your specialties. "If you can get the design to match the chest, I hope so." I feel like I''ve made a mess, but I''m not going to show my upset face!¡¡Answer as you like! Elias is speaking to me in a lowered voice, as if he is concerned about me. I hope the customers don''t mind. Well, I''m not getting paid solo, so I don''t think I''ll get in trouble if they find out. A little bragging rights?¡¡Maybe? "I can get you a design, but you''ll have to wait a bit. It''s not something that can be used as a production material just for leveling up." Noooo, it would be nice to have something with a rating higher than 6, but other producers probably don''t have a good correction for monster drops, so the rating would be 3 at the most. By the time we can hope for a higher rating, we may or may not be able to get more capable drops. It''s a bit of a quandary. "I''m going to rebuild my equipment for production, so you''ll have to wait a bit longer to leave it with me. Elias then hands me his partner card (patka). While he is talking, customers seem to be coming in and out of the shop and buying equipment. The ability to buy without talking directly to the shopkeeper is a nice feature when talking is a hassle. The small size of the stall makes it close to the customers. The performance of the small hands should be visible only to Elias, the exchange target, but this is not the case if there is a guy with an exceptionally high tool appraisal level in the exchange. Some of them glance at me as if they want to talk to Elias. They are not bonkers, but they have supple and elongated limbs, white porcelain skin, and a s*xy look even though they do not have breasts. The armor he makes is of good performance and beautifully designed. I see. So you want to talk to her and get close to her, if possible. I give my patka to Elias, put away my small hands, and leave. I almost stood out. At the end of the street near the slum, a guild member of a commercial guild had set up a store for consignment sales, so I looked around to see if there were any foodstuffs or novelty items for sale. It was a good thing that I could see the sales window from quite a distance. Another crowd here. I got an item pouch!¡¡It holds twice as much as the first one I bought! Fruits such as apricots, plums, figs, chototots, mutton, aji...... are the last two bought in Secant and sold in Fast (here). It is convenient for those who still can only go there by horse cart, but it seems cheaper for me to go there and buy in bulk, even if I have to pay a transfer fee. I bought a lot of meat from Chototzu. The amount of meat, including the one that came with the chottai, was quite a lot. I also bought a lot of vegetables and fruits such as apricots and loquats. As I thought at the Narung Mountains, the lineup of fruits and vegetables sold at the market seemed to me that the fruits and vegetables available were determined by the season. If I buy up all the fruits and vegetables that are not available, the price may go up the next time, so I will not buy them all. Some young herbs, such as bearauch, oregano, and sage, are also for sale. I would like to know where you got them. After buying herbs, magic fruits, and other ingredients for alchemy, I go to see what I can use for alchemy. First of all, stones of various attributes. The name of the maker is on them, so they can probably be made by alchemy. There are quite a lot of minerals, including attribute stones, that can be found anywhere in the world. While they are all priced similarly, the low-priced ones that are sometimes seen are quickly disappearing. Even those of relatively high rank as materials are sold at the same price. It is likely that lower-ranked materials still sell better for raising the level of production. In addition to the cheap attribute stones that I was lucky enough to buy, I buy the ones with high rank but with low price because they are not used at the moment. Because they can afford to buy things that are not "for use now", they are able to buy things that are not "for use now". At the consignment tent, we can leave our silos and purchased materials in storage, and now we have only our equipment, seasonings, and cooked food. Storage expansion is just a matter of time. While I was browsing through the consignment sales, Luba informed me that the work was running a little behind schedule. I told her that I was in no hurry and that it was no problem. "I can''t guarantee your safety from there on." As I turn out of the alley lined with stalls and step into the slum, a security knight calls out to me. "Yes, I know." There''s a reason I left everything but my food with you. I was curious to see how the slums were faring after being partially evicted for creating an open-air market for players. I heard that the evictees were assigned to other houses in the vacant slums. Since Leo and Peter must have joined the Thieves'' Guild when they were at a lower level, I left all the baggage I could, though I thought it was safe to do so, but my equipment was still in place. I''m a mage without gale boots in case of emergency, and I can''t run away from them. I''m going to shadow them with caution. I thank the knight for his concern and continue on. Just a short distance from the street, the cobblestones are peeled and cracked, and after a while there is more ground than stones. There is a musty, stale smell, as if the sewage system is still clogged, but there is surprisingly little garbage. Unlike in modern society, garbage is a fuel for the fire, so it is quickly picked up. As a result, there is almost no garbage, although there are some crumbled walls, some paving stones, and something like muddy mud. At first, I thought it was because it was a game. Little kids were picking it up. Sometimes you see a skinny kid or a man who looks like he is crushed from drunkenness. Many of the buildings seem to be unoccupied, which means there are places to hide even if you are chased from your roost to expand your stall. I feel a little relieved. It would be hard to wake up if things were miserable for us players. Well, from the looks of it, the environment is not good from the beginning. As we walked to fill the map, we heard sounds of struggle and screams. I ran toward the direction of the screams, just in time to see a man with a bad looks attacking a woman. He was an animal man with cat ears, probably a slum dweller judging from his clothes. Oh, come on, the adult designation is not a given, is it? And there it is. The guy''s a client of the assassins'' guild. Die! I''ll have you for that. I thought I must be in the event field, but it turns out I was, and I was able to use attack magic. In the normal town, you can''t use attack skills, including magic. I died instantly, hahaha! I thought I would have no hesitation in killing people, but I was wrong. Even though it was a game, I didn''t want to actively kill them because I didn''t want to be aware of it too clearly, but it''s no use having two reasons to attack them. Well, I am confident that I would never do it in the real world unless I am socially blameless. It''s too much trouble. The woman is unhurt and looks at the man who fell on her with a blank expression on his face. The rest is her territory and she will run away or do whatever she wants. I reapply my , which has been undone, and head back down the alley. There''s a reward for turning in a corpse to security, the assassins'' guild''s request details list a man with that many extra crimes. The woman had a scary experience, too, so it would be nice to get that kind of reward. I''m not going to come forward, after all, it''s a request from the Assassins Guild. Let''s keep it that way. Yeah, I won''t raise any crazy flags! And then we turn down an alley and now we''re dead. Two young children with black dog-eared ears were cowering in an embrace at the corner of a dusty alley. They were not lying around drunk and disoriented. < "Hey, what''s up?" His forehead is normal to the touch, but his hands are cold. He is thin. No external injuries. Is he sick?¡¡Was it wrong to touch him? Or starvation?¡¡I don''t have much knowledge in that area. "Hey, I''ve got a ......" One of them is barely conscious. He spoke up, but weakly. "Are you hungry?" Now, is this a bad idea to have a normal meal, even if it is a fantasy, with someone who is so debilitated?¡¡I wonder if recovery works on an empty stomach, and apply recovery. E!? I wonder what happens when E! I don''t remember what happens when E! I seem to have regained a little bit of energy when I apply recovery. My sister, who had been unconscious, opened her eyes. Wasn''t that sugar water with a little salt absorbed well? I had the ingredients, so I made it on the spot and gave it to my siblings. By the way, what I made was treated as medicine, not food. "Drink as slowly as possible." When I put it close to their mouths, neither of them seemed to be able to swallow it easily, but they drank it. Which recipe can make a candy that can be put in the mouth? Harden it or chill it. For now, just drop a small amount of honey into their mouths and let them recover again. 41 - The Slam and the Assassion and the Knight and the Attribute Stone Now what''s this about? Slum, this is a little too eventful. In such a case, temple or knight, in my opinion. So I went back to the stalls with one on each side of me. It would be dangerous to go out in the presence of people if I had a contagious disease, but I did not notice any coughing, vomiting, or skin changes. If anything, their skin was dry and crusty. More importantly, both of them are very light, very light. I think it''s because they haven''t eaten. They are as limp as ever, leaning against my chest, as if they have no energy to talk. "Sorry, I picked up the kid. He''s probably starving to death. What do you want me to do?" He calls out to the knight who approached him when he entered the slum. I broke the cat-ear flag, and now it''s the Loli-Shota flag!¡¡And the first encounter is the kind you shouldn''t break! "Are you a child of the slums,......, they can take care of you temporarily at the temple." A young knight looking puzzled. It''s a subtle reaction, but there is no point in talking to the knight and asking him what he thinks about the slum. I thank him and head for the temple. Perhaps the temple is more accustomed to this kind of response. We have just killed a man, albeit in a game. And now I am talking to a priest with two little ones in bed. I''m supposed to be taking it easy, but I''m feeling a little too giddy. "They almost starved to death, and you were right not to feed them solid and nutritious food out of the blue. If you feed a person who hasn''t been eating, he will have a stomach ache and lose even more energy." An elderly female priestess named Ekaterina, with wrinkles at the corners of her eyes, said. The building was so different from the temple that we did not realize it was under the jurisdiction of the same temple, but to the west of the temple there was a rectangular building for orphans that looked like a barracks. On the first floor there is a bathroom, a dining room, a room for the little ones to play, and a workroom for making candles and other items to be sold to the congregation at the temple. In the workroom, old orphans make candles and other small items for sale in the temple. In the mornings, they study general education, and in the afternoons, they either perform the aforementioned candle-making and other services for the temple, or take on simple jobs that adventurers do not take on, such as cleaning and errands for deliveries from the Adventurers'' Guild and the Commercial Guild. The work is also devoted to the acquisition of skills in the workshop, where they can cooperate with others at a certain age or at a young age if they are willing to do so. "Most of the beastmen in this town are people who have escaped from the neighboring continent. The demon tribe living in the neighboring continent is barely hostile to the human tribe, but they are not friendly. The beastmen seem to be ruled and used by a magic called "slave crest". They must have fled with nothing but their belongings. "Fortunately, this town is relatively rich, but not enough to support so many people. Many of the beastmen are strong and physically fit, and many of them become adventurers with little money to start with, but due to their poverty, many of them are forced to work too hard, and more of them lose their lives than other races. For example, they are lured by money to challenge demons that are not their size, or they are hired as shields for other parties and take on the greatest dangers. And the young ones who cannot go on adventures are left behind. By the way, Ekaterina, please stop playing with the sill I donated to you while we''re having a serious talk. Apart from this one point, she speaks calmly and looks lovingly at the two children she has brought with her. But that one point is rather fatal. Is this temple safe? "You can only stay here until you are twelve years old, and by then you will either have to get a job or be given somewhere else. The temple has to take in other orphans, so at the age of 12, you will be asked to leave, even if you are not yet independent. This will not change even if you increase your donation. It is not good for the children to have a sense of injustice in the future. I''m rather relieved by those words!!!!¡¡I''ll give you preferential treatment depending on the sill!¡¡I''d be worried if someone said that! ...... Huh?¡¡But if Yekaterina had told him that it would be good for the temple and he had not been messing around with Sil, he would have been more at ease and would have given her a piece of his mind. It would have been a way to lessen the guilt for the child. If Yekaterina was trying to avoid unnecessary guilt ...... I don''t think so. She''s got a big smile on her face and a cheek in the sill bag. I leave the two children in the care of the priest and leave the temple, opening the door of an inconspicuous building in a residential area again. Something like from shadow to light and back to shadow. I wonder if the guild card can be used to confirm the request. "Oh, you finished the request, didn''t you? In the dimly lit room, the first man you meet, a man of medium height and medium build, calls out to you. "Yes, just now." After all this time, I wonder if this man is the guild master, though I have a feeling he won''t tell me if I ask him directly. "This is a reward from the Assassins Guild." He tosses me a bag of sills. Apparently, he has already confirmed that the request has been fulfilled. When I receive it, my money is increased by 50,000 shillings. The price of a person is much lower, but the price of trash is higher. It''s hard to judge, but I''ll just put the money from the assassination as a donation to the temple. Local production for local consumption. "So, I''ll give you two skills to commemorate your first commission. Poison medicine concoction, poison magic, spells, dark weapons, shadow diving, phantom blades, paralyzing claws, illusion, and threads. So Peter took [shadow diving]. I guess he took a dark tool, too. "You can take it elsewhere, but it''s more effective than taking it at another job. If you break the code, you''re gone." I remember, if you misbehave, the skills you got as an assassin will disappear. I''m curious about poison magic. But I wonder if you can get this skill someday if you are a wizard. I don''t know how to get [Shadow Diving] elsewhere, but I think <> can do it for you. I think I can get ¡¾Darkness¡¿at ...... if I borrow a workshop and make it afterwards. I didn''t know there was even a "spellbook". Assassination by [Jutsu], I guess there are Yin-Yang in this world as a counterpart. Or is it more of a Western curse? The [Blade of Illusion] seems to be a dagger version of the [Sword of Illusion]. I don''t use daggers, so I won''t use this one. Paralyze Claw is a claw skill. Are there people who specialize in claws? Illusion] is a skill to show illusions, and [Thread] is a weapon skill. "By the way, this time we were given clear information about the assassination target and the client, but will that information be disclosed again next time?" My image is that it is safe not to tell the executor who the client is, unless he is very good at what he does. "No. I''ve got a special request for the first time, a clean request that I don''t mind divulging. I''ll give you the information about the target in the future, but I won''t tell you who the client is and why." Oh, I knew it. "Then [illusion] and [thread]." I want shadow diving and witchcraft, but for now I''ll stick with these two. Both magic and spells can be used in the city. The skills you can get from assassins (here), well, I guess that''s what it means. Some of the weapon skills can be used in the city, or at least some of them are. I took [Thread], which is a new skill, because its Lv.1 is < and its effect is to "stretch a thread to pick up voices". Yes, if a skill disappears, I want to choose one that does not affect normal combat. I already have a problem if [concealment] disappears. I already have a problem with [Concealment] disappearing. And a new request." I received a thin slab that looked like a guild card, but disappeared as soon as I touched it. I have mastered the skill of illusion. I have mastered the skill [Thread]. "Read the request here and burn it." He looks over the request that was given to him. You may think that the request form will remain in the list of quests even if you burn it, but it will disappear exactly, so you have to remember it. If I''m going to assassinate someone right away, I might forget about it when I can complete the job on the side. "Oh, by the way. Do you mind if I talk to your peers about your skills and the location of the guild, except for requests?" "I don''t mind talking about skills to a certain extent, but not about guild locations." "Yes, sir." To some extent is the tricky part. Well, I guess it''s okay if it''s just what Peter told me. We are leaving the assassins'' guild. On the closed door, I found a shape I had not noticed before. When I entered the guild, I thought it was nothing more than a graffiti, but upon closer inspection, it seems to be a figure written with an intention. It is probably a coded symbol of the Assassins'' Guild. The atmosphere inside the guild is so different that it is hard to believe that they are in the same town. The number of people who can be visually aware and the number of signs are different, whether it is due to [concealment], [dilution of signs], or higher level skills. There seems to be a discrepancy between what they look like and what they actually are. Leaving the guild, I finally realize that I was a little nervous in the sunlight. I walk slowly, sipping ruby berry juice. I will quickly change my mind and get trained to be a knight. After that, we will produce until the night, and then go to free Pheina after a break. I was thinking of waiting for Roy and the others to be released and then taking the wagon, but now I can get there in a day if I run. Today was Liv''s opponent. Rib, who said he used a solid sword, corrected my swordsmanship. Let''s ...... do some sword swinging first, shall we?¡¡Why now? Repeat to stop and land more precisely than fast, and to be slow and steady in kata. I think it''s the first thing to do. Don''t tell me they''re not going to make us do muscle training next. Slowly trace the kata alongside the ribs. It''s like tai chi. It takes a lot of strength to move your hands in parallel and step out slowly. Keep your hands steady. Don''t shake the tip. Swing the sword. As your narrow field of vision gradually widens, you become more and more focused. The movements of my hands and feet are no longer in my mind. I felt as if I were one with the air. Is it that I am moving slowly, or that time is passing slowly? It is a strange sensation. It''s quite nice. So good that I''m considering making it a part of my daily routine. After the session, we were having a cup of tea as promised, when Liv came in. "It''s not easy to maintain the position of the body when you do it slowly..." "......" Yeah, he doesn''t talk much. You hardly said a word during the session. Why did you come? At any rate, I offered him tea without saying a word. He must have wanted to drink it, because the corners of his mouth turned up a little and he bowed silently. "It''s a beautiful mold." When he finished his drink, he left one word and walked away. ¡î ¡î ¡î ¡î ¡î ¡î ¡î ¡î ¡î ¡î ¡î ¡î The production facility is in the process of refining the attribute stones. The knights have trained me and the production process is like d¨¦j¨¤ vu. That''s it, non-attribute stones. If it doesn''t work, add it. < and stones and you have a stone with no attribute! It is possible to mix <>,<>,<>,<>,<> stones, which would be cheaper, but it would be a long way to mix all five to try it. It is expensive, <> and <>,<>. The first alchemical concoction can be two substances or magic. At level 10, you have three. The ones with conflicting properties are prone to fail. The same item, e.g. <> and <>, will have a higher evaluation. The rating of 4 is increased by one each time the same item is matched. The higher the rating, the more likely it is to fail. Alchemy seems to be either making something new by combining something with something else, or combining the same thing with something else to raise its rating. The most common failures in mixing and cooking are at a rating of 1, while in kneading, the item used explodes or turns into a mysterious object X, rendering it unusable. If you fail, the item will be lost and you will not have it at hand. The probability of success is said to increase with dexterity, alchemy level, and luck. If something cannot be alchemized from the beginning, nothing will happen in the first place. Another thing, called irregularity, is said to occur very rarely. This is not limited to alchemy, but is said to occur rarely in production. So, I hoarded a lot of magic stones, so I smelted a lot of stones with low rating and completed some with rating of 10. 10 should increase the success rate of weapon enhancement. When you combine the same items, even if you have enough dexterity, there is always a negative correction for going up from 7 to 8 or from 8 to 9 or from 9 to 10, although it is low, and there is a certain probability of breakage. I sometimes broke a lot of pieces when I was going from 8 to 9, but I kept on smelting, thinking that it was just to raise the level of my work. It is rather strange that I felt that it was easier to succeed in smelting from 9 to 10. It is a production skill with a lot of gambling elements. As for the synthesis of different kinds of items, the correction of < & is terrible. I appreciate it very much. The alchemy I purchased consists of five circles arranged in a pentagonal shape, surrounded and connected by a complex pattern. When magic power is applied, three of the circles shine. Put materials in the circles and let the magic power flow once more, and the alchemy is completed. If you cast fire as the last magic power, an item with a fire attribute will be created, and if you place a non-attribute stone and cast the spell of , a will be created. However, if you want to cast magic instead of magic power, you must leave one circle empty. < While making high rank stones of various attributes, we wonder how to make magic stones that increase intelligence used in the production of weapons and armor. There is a low probability that the stone will be found in the stone dropped by demons, but is there any other way? It would be an enchantment by a holy priest. I know that the druidic magic used by Kurau also had a spell to increase or decrease the ability of the druid. In the meantime, let''s make a lot of < and have them put the enchantment into the oatmeal. In that case, should I first activate the formation by casting magic power, and then have the oatmeal use the magic? Tascha said that there would be no problem if I could get someone else to put the "purification" into it, but I wonder if it stands for "get an alchemist who can use purification to put it into it". Once again, we took advantage of the availability of sil to raise the level of production. I used 2 medicinal herbs synthesized by alchemy and made from water as materials, and the level went up to 20. The result was H! Potion EX. I thought it was not a high potion, but I tried to make M! Potion EX, and also made a Potion EX and a Potion EX. The level of the combatants is 30, so I think the production level will also go up, but it became difficult to raise the level at around 20. Cooking was not growing well in spite of being the first one to get it, but I raised it by changing not only venison but also a lot of bear meat, which had been neglected, into stewed meat. Yes, I''ve been making it most frequently, since it''s been mostly a material around the fast. Despite the name, stewed bear meat is warming and tasty. But it is the season of early summer in this world. What should I do, cook out in a slum? Cooking food that is not in demand makes me feel like I''m not explaining anything. I don''t mind medicine. By the way, stewed bear meat has a 3% increase in arm strength. You may put the 10 rating in the consignment sale. After preparing some other things for sale, I went to E! I cook a meal for myself to recover. Tempura wild vegetables from Narun. Eat them with salt. It tastes like bittersweet spring. Freshly fried, hot, crispy, and happy! It seems that the materials that can be obtained outside of gathering are fixed at rank 2 for the moment. This may be another reason why the level of cooking has not improved much. Why, it''s delicious! And then there''s my specialty, alchemy, which I pretend not to see at all costs.

"You really do lock yourself in here a lot, don''t you? Most of the time I just browse." "I feel like all you do is fight, produce, or read." He even talks to me." The ratio is something like 6 for fighting: 0.5 for production: 3 for reading: 0.5 for talking to people. I wonder what the other adventurers are doing. Peter is assassinating, Leo is running around for fishing, and Ochazuke is making money efficiently. It is very easy to imagine. I was told that there is no information disclosure in the assassin''s guild, so I had to do my own research or read information from the atmosphere of (presumed) Guilmouth, whose facial expressions and gestures seemed to be the same as before, I thought, and looked at the door. I looked at the door and saw a cryptogram there. If you don''t look at it with an intent to read the information, it is just a scribble. Perhaps, it is a light warning not to overlook the information. I asked Al if he could help me to decipher the cipher, and he gave me an assortment of both commonly used and maniacal ciphers. Other new adventurers usually end up checking the enemy''s weak points, distribution, and the appearance of medicinal herbs. Some of them stay as long as I did, it seems. There were also a couple of people who came with a party and got banned for making a lot of noise. Personally, I think it is hard to be banned here, but I don''t know. From what Al said, it doesn''t seem to have a high utilization rate. Well, we can use the guild''s archives in other cities. Cryptography is interesting like a puzzle, but it is hard to "recognize it as a cipher" at first. It is fine to read a book with only ciphers, but would you really recognize them in your daily life? Well, I would only accomplish the requests of the Assassin''s Guild if I had a chance. Although your intelligence is supposed to be higher, some of them can only be solved with a flash of inspiration in addition to your intelligence. Especially, most of the ciphers which seem to be made by close friends cannot be solved without knowing something in common which is the key to the cipher. It is amazing that people can solve these ciphers. On the way, I see off Al who says he is leaving the room to go downstairs to the cafeteria to have dinner, and read the material. The rules that I can''t seem to remember are transcribed. When the number of the materials I have finished reading piles up and I reach the fifth copy of the rules and notes of the cipher, I have acquired the skill of [deciphering ciphers]. There really are a lot of skills. However, [Deciphering] seems to be a brainy version of [Evasion] and [Body Art], and it seems to make it easier to get inspiration, but is it basically dependent on one''s own knowledge?¡¡So I continued reading the materials Al had left with me. I was going to stay in the reference room until midnight, but when Al came back, I realized that today was the deer roast!¡¡He rushes back to the inn. The venison was roasted, stewed, or braised in red wine. The hostess and her husband are both good cooks, but the husband is better at cooking meat. The wife''s eggs are cooked with perfect heat. She and her husband walk around the restaurant on their free time, which is nice. When I ordered a dish of red wine stew that had been simmered for half a day, the innkeeper''s father thanked me. Thanks to you, we all have good food today. The guests who had reservations for dinner were also adding two or three more plates to their meals. That''s great. I decline to introduce him to the people in the dining room and take an empty seat. Soon after, a plate of meat and a salad arrive. It is not a wine stew, but rather a mass of meat that has been grilled on the surface, braised in red wine, removed, cut into thick slices and covered with a sauce made from the braising liquid. There were small onions roasted whole in the oven, saut¨¦ed mushrooms, and small red fresh radishes with leaves for color. While everyone around me orders beer, I drink a non-alcoholic drink, a kind of ginger ale with a hint of sweetness. The food is rated 5, Dad. Is that it, or does a resident leave the yoke with a rating of 4 when the player brings in materials and asks for production? Soft. So soft that you can break it with chopsticks. Not chopsticks. Venison has little fat, so it''s not too tough, but alternating it with bread is a perpetual motion. The last piece of bread was used to wipe off the sauce. I am satisfied. I''m too full to take a bath, but in this world, taking off and putting on clothes is only a moment away if you do it from the item column, so I do the raven''s drench and get into bed. Let''s have a real dinner and a bath a little early. By the way, where can I buy a << thread> that can be used as a weapon? I make a cup of tea and stretch out in the real world. I check my e-mail and find a text message from Leo saying, "Let''s go to the boss of Sir - I want to open the gate to get revenge for the fishing. That''s the one where he died and came back before going to the dungeon. I don''t know what he''s fishing for, but I guess he''s going to be fishing in the sea next. I send an OK e-mail to meet them at Sir at 21:00 real time for dinner. I make curry. It''s good to have it ready so that one plate is all you need and it''s quick. I take a bath and log in again. He wakes up at the inn, eats venison stew in the dining room, and goes outside. It is said that the juice not processed into the sauce for the venison stew in wine is added to the stew pot to prevent the stew from boiling down too much. It''s good that it doesn''t dilute or make the taste uneven. I feel like I''m eating all the time in the real world and in other worlds. When we move to Hoss via the temple, we visit the priest of yesterday and ask him to give us a lot of bear stew to eat at the orphanage, and if there is any left over, to feed it to the slums. He asked us for an offering in a roundabout way, or rather, straight away, as if it were an afterthought. Hunt-and-swallow priests. The kids seemed to have regained consciousness yesterday. They said they''d be happy to see me, but I decline and go through the transition gate. I''ll fold the flag, okay? I would say that I prefer seeing new worlds and fighting battles to events with characters that have been contrived for a long time. Peter says that there are players who have already flagged young girls as targets and are aiming for a harem. I wonder if they don''t need a party card to have a harem. I''m not sure, but for now, I asked him about the progress of Peter and the lost little girl. He has not seen her since then!¡¡He insists that he is not a "good" person. It was raining when we went out to Foss. It was drizzling rain, visibility was poor, and umbrellas were useless. I don''t know if there are umbrellas in this world. I changed my coat into a robe and put on the hood. We departed in the dark because we had prioritized the dinner time at the inn. My night vision is good, but the rain makes it difficult for me to detect any signs of life. I tried to avoid combat and to stay with Faina, but I kept getting caught up with the enemy. I wonder if I should take up the ability to detect magic or search for other enemies. <, but there are too many of them. If I see them and go carefully, I can avoid them, but it takes time, so I am running and cutting them down at the first encounter instead of trying to avoid them anymore. It is muddy thanks to the carrying, but I don''t care about my footing. Jackalopes, rabbits with antlers, are breeding. Their antlers seem to be very disturbing, but I don''t know. They call out to their friends, so we quickly defeat them. The terrain is bumpy and the rabbit is half buried in a hole. ...... might be a good place to level up, make a note on the map. There was a monster called "two-tailed fox" that used "foxfire". This fox sees through the and throws a foxfire. It seems that a fox with nine tails will appear soon. And I wonder if this plain has an ecosystem where foxes catch rabbits. I want to sprinkle white when I see its tail, but I can''t call it out in this rain. The foxes slash at the [foxfire] that is released and close the distance between the two foxes. I feel that the distribution is less than that of jackalopes, but the number of battles has increased because they see through <> and send out [foxfire] even if there is some distance between them. I feel that I can shake them off if I keep running, but if they attack me, it is my principle to defeat them. As a result, jackalope horns, fur, and breast meat, and two foxes'' fur, fangs, and tails accumulate in my item pouch. The item pouches have been renewed, and I have been selling my products on consignment, so I have plenty of room in my luggage. I will let you know. The city of Faena has been liberated by the Flame King and five others. Oh, it''s liberated. Well, Roy''s party doesn''t seem to be all together, so it looks like we''ve caught up with the party that is all together on a weekday afternoon. After passing through the trees and crossing a wide river, the capital came into view. The castle of Faena stands on a higher hill than the others, facing the sea. The capital of Faena is a city of the sea. Located on a wide sandbar between two rivers, Faina has a castle wall, but instead of a wall, the city is surrounded by a wide river and the sea, which form a natural defense. A wide canal drawn from the river runs through the city, and small boats come and go. In the background, several sailing boats are anchored in the sea, perhaps waiting to enter the harbor. The sea is dull now because of the clouds and rain, but it would have been a wonderful scene if the sky had been clear. The sea is blue because it reflects the color of the sky!¡¡I feel like agreeing with him. This is a fantasy world, after all. Of course, the topography makes the seas rough and the proximity to the equator makes them hot like on Earth, but it overrides the fact that it is hot because of the fire spirits and rough seas because of the wind-attributed ancient dragons. In this human continent where the terrain and climate are relatively mild, there is a legend that there is an ancient water dragon somewhere in the Narn Mountains. There are two gates that can be entered by land: the southern gate, which is the end of the road leading north from Foss, and the eastern gate, which leads to the road to the neighboring Isle. The harbor faces the sea on the north and the west. The castle is built facing northwest, and the main entrance to the city of Faina is the sea. There used to be a road leading to Sekan from the southwest, but since Sekan is also a city facing the sea with a port, ships were used for transportation and people coming and going, and now the road has become an unkempt animal trail. When traveling from Secant to Faena, one must take a small sailing boat and enter the port with the castle in front of one''s face from the sea. We have been driving off the road, but now we are back on the road and heading for the south gate. It is dark because of the gray sky, but dawn has already broken. Since the city has already been liberated, there is no need to go through the hassle of showing your guild card at the gate, and no need to be detained. "Excuse me, can you tell me where the Adventurers'' Guild is?" "Yes, just take the second ferry on the left side of the dugout there, and it will take you to the end of the line. I was led down the waterway! Straight through the square from the gate is a bridge across the moat that leads directly overland into the city. The second crossing was on the right side of the bridge. Three stone steps down to the ferry led to a six-person boat with a boatman on board. There was no sign of any resident guests or adventurers (players) because it was early in the morning, and the boat was chartered. Ah, a six-seater is for a full party. "Is the flight to the Adventurer''s Guild OK?" "Oh, it''s a direct connection, okay?" "Yes, thank you." I''m afraid of getting seasick, but I have a strong ally in the form of my sobriety. We board the ship. It''s raining, and the seats - well, they''re just planks of wood - are wet. The boatman calls out to us and throws something at us as we try to sit down. It turns out to be a fur coat. "Put it under your ass." He recommends this as he closes the box in which he seems to have taken out the furs. Well, I don''t like my ass wet either. The robe seems to be made to repel water a little, but it is not soaked through. But if I sit on it and press it against a wet surface, I feel that only my buttocks will get soaked. I also don''t want to see my buttocks change the color of my clothes when I stand up. Thank you very much for your help. Thank you. After laying down our furs and settling in, the boatman lightly pulls the oars along the pier and pulls away. It''s raining unfortunately, but the view from the masonry canal is unusual and not boring. Is it like Venice?¡¡I''ve never been. Should I buy a mask somewhere? No, not for that Venetian thing, but to hide my face. There are many times when the can be sharp, as in this little boat. I think we need it as soon as possible. Because I saw the black lily on the gondola. When I passed by the place where the canal connects to the next canal, I saw a white gondola with a white parasol, I think it was a parasol because it had a frill on it, and I saw Black Lily buried under the cushion and surrounded by men. And there was some kind of overflowing man running alongside her on the second boat. It was a male boat, too, and I didn''t like it. Reverse harem?¡¡Aren''t you making it up as you go along? I was going to go sightseeing because I was afraid I would get into trouble if I was discovered, but after I finished my business at the guild, I thought I would go to the temple as soon as possible. I think we were going in the opposite direction, so I think we''ll be okay for a while. It is a big city, but there is always a destination that coincides with the adventurers'' guild and the temple. Now the Flame King, right?¡¡I''m sure he''s very excited about being made the city''s liberator by the "Mere Old Man". I really want something to hide my face, but I feel that even if I wear a mask, my physique and hair style would give me away, but I wonder how the magical girls in the world with their faces uncovered prevent themselves from being discovered. "Can you tell me in which direction the temple is located?" "The temple. Look, there''s the castle." The boatman points in the direction of the channel. The main waterways are said to radiate from the direction of the castle, so that when traveling along the wide waterway, one often has the castle either in front of one''s face or behind one''s back. Of course, there are few waterways that lead directly to the castle. The thicker channels that connect the radial channels spiral like snails from the castle side, and the farther from the castle, the wider the distance between them. The narrower channels seem to be the result of aristocrats and large merchant families who drew them to suit their own convenience. It is said that the farther from the castle, the easier it is to obtain a permit to pull the canals. Even though it is raining, there are many small boats on the waterway. Some of them have umbrellas for their customers, and some of them have umbrellas on the gondolas themselves. Even so, I think they get wet a lot, but I wonder if they don''t mind. "Looking from the castle, the Adventurers'' Guild is to the south and the temple is to the east. If you want to go to the temple from the guild, go out toward the land road and take the number three boat at the waterway in front of the guild. Also, be careful not to get lost, because the people here sometimes refer to the canals as ''roads''. "Thank you, is there any other information I should know?" Well, I''d stay away from the Marquise de Lobster. I wonder if the developer was hungry ...... how many names for food! "Here we are. Take your money in the basket there, please." I put 500 shill in the basket, thank him and get off. I put 500 shillings in the basket, thanked him and got off. In my case, the amount of money I have has nothing to do with my progress. The ship arrived at the back door of the guild building, directly at the entrance step. It is wide for a back door, It is wider than the front of Fast''s guild. The door is closed, probably because of the rain. Before opening the door, I shake my robe lightly to let the water escape. Now, here comes the of life magic. Convenient. He puts his hood back on and opens the door. Well, the player was not there. Even if they had ridden in the carriages right after the town was liberated and the carriages opened, they would not have arrived yet, and only those who happened to be in the vicinity of Faina would have been able to enter. Now let''s take care of our business. ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ More...

Ranking Up and New Countries The Adventurers'' Guild in Juana looks more glamorous than the guild in the city of Fast. The reason why it looks more glamorous is probably because the color of the counter and the floor is a little lighter brown than that of Fast, and there are magic lights all around. I talk to the receptionist, who has blonde hair, short hair, and a darting look in her eyes. She looks like a soldier with her uniform. "I have a request from the Guild of Fast. Please sign this form." Yes, sir. Please sit down over there and wait a moment. With that, he disappeared behind a door that appeared to be behind the counter. I sat in the chair by the wall indicated by the door and waited for about five minutes, while other resident adventurers were called and received their documents. Some of them do not look like adventurers. I was thinking that the Adventurers'' Guild in King''s Landing might have a lot of clerical work to do, such as issuing certificates, unlike Fast, when I hear a voice from the reception desk right in front of my seat, which is different from the one where I handed in my papers. "Thank you for waiting, this way please." The wax seal had changed to a golden color. He must have sealed it again after signing it. "Can I use the reference room?" "There is a fee for this service, but you are free to use it if you have a guild card." Is there a fee for this place? I thought about copying the map if there was one, but decided to do it later, wondering if I could get out of the reference room before the other players arrived. I would make use of it later with a look that said, "The carriage is ready. I thank him and leave the guild. The boatman tells us that the landing across the street. But the black lilies seem to be traveling by water, so we decide to take the land route. If we go on foot, we will not run into each other unless something happens. So we decide to walk along the cobblestone streets. In other towns, guilds and temples are usually located along the main streets, so we could reach them without turning here and there, but in this town, the streets themselves are not arranged in a grid. The road is blocked by a canal, so we sometimes had to take a detour to cross a bridge. We walk along the road parallel to the thick canal to get to the temple. After a short distance east of the guild, you will see a large bridge on your right and follow the road to the northeast. The streets along the canal, which swirls around the castle, are also swirling. Whenever there was a shortage of residential areas, the canal was extended to make more land available.¡¡The number of people who live in the area is also increasing. I don''t know if it is because it is easier than expanding the city with a new wall, or if the royal capital has a large budget for city expansion, but the use of land is more extravagant than in other cities. There is a lot of greenery, and of course, there are many parks that may also serve as fire prevention areas. The canal that runs straight from the moat of the castle intercepts the bridge that crosses to the north with a gate, and beyond the gate, I heard from the boatman''s father that it is the property of the Marquises, who are different from the Lobster family. I''d like to eat lobster. ...... I can catch a normal fish of Rank 2 without any skill, but unfortunately I''m not a good fisherman. It would be fun if I could get a bite, but it is difficult to wait for a bite without thinking about it. I am always absorbed in a book with a book in my hand. If I want to be mindless in this world, I''d rather be waving a sword. Turning right, crossing a bridge, and crossing it again, we finally arrive at the section where the temple is located. The front of the temple is on the other side, so you have to go around from the back, but you can''t see the inside of the site covered with big trees. However, one can see several massive buildings just by looking at the occasional roof. Turning around to the front, one finds a magnificent and splendid building, aptly described as a chalk temple. Lined with white pillars, many people were coming and going even though it was raining. While the building I saw in the back was practical, the front seen from the plaza that also served as the approach to the temple was more for appearance, with decorations on the lower and upper parts of the pillars and gold in some places on the white walls. Later I heard that royal weddings and other ceremonies were held here, and as I had the impression, the entrance was completely for ceremonial purposes and focused on appearance. After paying my respects at the shrine, I quickly registered and returned to Fast. I thought that the god of water, Falu, would be popular in this port town, but it seemed that the gods of merchants and craftsmen, and the god of gold, Rusha, were popular, and there were more flowers offered to them than to other gods. This made me wonder about the products sold in the town. I''ll do some sightseeing and shopping later!¡¡Sunny day! The Adventurers'' Guild had several adventurers (players) in the cafeteria, on the request board, and near the reception counter. It seems that the overflowing crowd at the entrance just after the start of the game was a lie. The only people in the guild are men. "Hello. "Hello, thank you for the food!" I''d like a report on the request, please. Plum''s receptionist was just available, so I asked her to help me out, and she thanked me for the sweets. "I beat Sir''s boss today!¡¡I got some money from selling materials, so how about dinner?" "Congratulations, but I don''t want to eat. "Well, I have a bright future ahead of me, don''t I?¡¡Let''s cherish our encounters!" I overhear the player next to me asking a receptionist with big breasts that look like they could almost ride up on the counter to dinner. I don''t intend to listen to it, but I hear it and my attention is almost drawn to the conversation. It seems that not only me but also other players are listening to the conversation. Sometimes I hear whispers of "Emel won''t have you ......", "those big tits are mine", or "if you don''t go to Nana, I don''t care". Don''t tell me the men hanging around here are trying to get the receptionist ......? "Now, let me take your documents. We''ll check inside in another room, so please go upstairs to the reference room at the end of the hallway. "Oh, ......." His eyes are on Plum, but his ears are half next to his head. Perhaps it is my imagination, but I think I see Emel glancing at me. "...... Well, I''ll think about it if you deliver me <> without fail for a week starting tomorrow." It wasn''t my imagination. Hey, there''s no way they''ll know I made it ....... You liked what I brought you. I was curious about the rest of the story, so I unintentionally submitted another report to the vacant reception desk, this time reporting the delivery of the materials. "Lengard''s snacks?" "Yes. I got it and it was delicious, but I couldn''t find it. I tried to find a female staff member at the guild who sells it, but I couldn''t find it. She smiles and tells the man in front of her. Okay, so you don''t want me to sell sweets for a while from today, right?¡¡He decided to limit the sale of sweets to the conditions he had come up with after seeing me. Stop the date! "Under those conditions, some of them might at least accept a midday meal." The receptionist in front of me interjects with a laugh as she hands me the commission. "Wooooooo!" "If it has a name and you couldn''t find it, it''s a commission!" "The right to dine with Mr. Emel is mine ahhhhhhh!" "Plum-saaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa£¡£¡£¡£¡" "Oh, you guys!¡¡Don''t you dare run out on me!!!!¡¡I''m the one who took it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" In a flash, the players near the counter were gone. The adventurers in the cafeteria, who apparently had not heard my conversation with the receptionist, looked on in amazement as the men suddenly burst outside with a loud yell, while I thanked the receptionist for taking care of my material delivery and went upstairs. I wondered if the receptionists had only ever eaten sweets from the residents'' pastry store, which had a rating of 4. I think they can now buy the highly rated pastries at the consignment sales. I think that the taste is beautified by the fact that this is the first highly rated confectionery they have ever tasted. I think that the sweets we gave out were a collection of trial products, so I think they were rated 6 to 8. With this in mind, I went upstairs to find Plum waiting for me at the end of the hallway. "Sorry for the wait. "No, come in." I passed through the reference room and entered the room to which I was led, wondering if there was a staircase for staff as well as a staircase from the side of the counter. Inside was a man who had reached the age of a mature man to an old man. I am Marcos, vice-master of the guild. You must be Homura. Congratulations on your promotion to the C rank. He has gray hair mixed with gray hair, a mustache, and is stout for his age. He is a former adventurer. Many ex-adventurers work for the Adventurers'' Guild. Since many of them are not good at sitting around and doing paperwork, they mainly work behind the scenes sorting, dismantling, and delivering deliveries, and the only contact they have with active adventurers here at Fast is the stern man at the purchase counter outside of the commission. In other cases, a retired person in good health is hired as an instructor for newcomers. The rest of the adventurers are high ranking adventurers who have contributed to the country and the people and have charisma, and are integrated into the organization as so-called executives. I have never met Gilmas of Fast, but I heard that he is famous. "Thank you." He shakes the offered hand and thanks her. "Now, can I have your guild card?" Plum is waiting by Marcos'' side with a thin stone plate like the one used for registration. When I offer him my guild card, Marcos unfolds the guild card and the document I have gotten signed by Faina on top of the black plate that Plum is offering. The plate glows faintly and something like a letter appears and disappears, and Marcos hands me back the guild card. I glance at the papers and see no writing on them, but when I put them on top of each other, there was something written on them, which must have been transferred to the guild card. "Do you care about the papers?¡¡What you brought from Faina is a permit to move from one country to another. With that guild card, you can go from the temple to Baron Isle Fagat, with which we have diplomatic relations. Of course, you can also cross the border on foot, though your life is not guaranteed along the way. I thought there was a boss battle at the border crossing. I''ve heard of the labyrinthine city of Baron and the magical state of Isle, but I''ve never heard of Fagat. I''ll look them up later. "So, this is a request from me, that you come back to this guild once in a while. The demons in this country are weak, and they are good for living, but adventurers change their base of operations when they reach C rank, so they don''t come around here anymore. When I agree to Marcos'' request, Plum congratulates me just as we finish our conversation. I thank Plum as well and leave the room, or rather, hand her a piece of candy before I leave. "Please join us. I was playing some kind of betting game downstairs, so feel free to give them to the person you are interested in without telling him or her. "Oh my!¡¡I''m sorry. You heard me, there''s a guy who''s been hanging around the counter for a long time now, even though he doesn''t get any requests, and I just had to bring him up. It''s true that I''ve been looking for those delicious snacks that you gave us all, but I''m sorry I mentioned it in a strange way. "No, I sell these occasionally at consignment sales that I''ve started recently. I''m not selling them face to face, so I don''t think it will bother anyone, probably. I''d appreciate it if you don''t tell them I sent you these, since it would be troublesome if they started following me around asking how I got them." "Yes, of course!" I promised Plum that this time I would leave the room. I wonder if the candy store in town is being raided, and I feel like apologizing to the residents for the trouble the gentile (player) has caused them. It''s almost lunchtime, but I should look for a restaurant in this new country. Where is the rice? So here we are at the transition gate of the temple. The current location is displayed in gray, and the other locations are displayed in white letters, and the capital Faina Fast Second Sir Foss is displayed, GEORGE''S COUNTRY Capital Phaina Fast Secant Sir Fos. Principality of Tarkant Capital Barron Isle of Man Capital city Arsuna Fagat Capital Navai Grande The display was changed to The other countries seem to start from the capital city. Well, it is natural that the further away from the capital, the stronger the monsters are, so I guess that''s the way it is. It must be hard to settle down and increase the population in a place with ferocious monsters. Now, where shall we go? The Duchy of Tarkant has a famous labyrinth called the Labyrinth City of Baron, which is so famous that the name of the country itself directly indicates the country. In fact, it is so famous that no one calls it Tarkant. I have not been able to find any information on Fagat. I chose an isle that suited my occupation. I''m looking forward to seeing what''s in store. Incidentally, the fee for the use of the gate changes depending on the distance within the country. This time I was charged 40,000 shillings. I don''t know if the high price is due to the distance or the fact that we were traveling across the country. We passed through the gate, wondering if we were wasting our money when we had yet to go sightseeing in Ziarz. I am sorry to inform you that a player has crossed the border. We are now adding the functions of Affiliations, Clans and Houses. You can choose to belong to yourself or to a guild or other organization to which your clan belongs. The benefits differ depending on the organization. Even if you do not belong to an organization, you may receive the same benefits if you gain the trust of the organization. Clans can be created by those who share the same profession and aspirations, or more casually by those who are close to each other. There are some benefits such as being able to share a house, and being able to have a [Clan Conversation] with multiple members of the same clan at the same time. House is a feature that allows players to have a home in this world. Players registered in a commercial guild can also rent a building as a store. Please check the menu for more details. I''ve got the title [The One Who Flies the World]. As soon as we stepped out of the gate, an announcement was made. You get the title, but more importantly, the house! ...... is expensive, isn''t it?¡¡But I want it! I wonder where I can get one, a real estate agency? I''m sure Ochazuke will be the clan master who is not a guilmouth and will lead the formation of the clan, so I''ll leave it to him. I am sure that there must be some conditions to form a clan too, such as money. Will we be able to build a house wherever we want? I''m too excited. I can''t wait to go into a restaurant and read the menu. I have more work to do! ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ...more...

I went to the shrine to pay my respects and found only a statue of the god Tasya, who presides over magic. As I left the temple, I saw another temple in the distance. There were five spires of the same shape, six if you include the spire of the temple where I was now. Apparently, there is one temple for each god in this city. In the center is a castle with a domed roof. I am not a religious man, but I know that here I have actually met the gods and they are present. We will visit all the temples, although it will be a bit tedious. After lunch. Oh, and just in case you feel sorry for the guys in the guild who LOVE the receptionist, I''ve shoved the small amount of leftover pastries into the consignment sale.¡¡Not quite enough to go around to all the people running out of the guild, though! When I moved to the Isle, the weather was nice and sunny with no wind. The sky is blue with a white moon. The wind seems to be strong as usual, and the white clouds are drifting away. Now, where is the best restaurant?¡¡I have the impression that the priests at the end of the line eat very poorly, so I don''t know who to ask. With these thoughts in mind, I call out to the priest who stands near the entrance to guide visitors. Sorry, this is my first visit to this country. Can you tell me what I should see and what restaurants you would recommend? Welcome to the magical city of Isle. Here in the capital city of Alsuna, the arts and sciences are flourishing. Between this temple and the royal castle, there is a law school on the right and a non-magical academy and library on the left. You must have permission to enter the academy of legal arts, but you can freely enter and leave the academic academy. It is the biggest library in this continent, so if you are interested in it, I recommend you to visit it. As a temple worker, I would like to recommend you to visit each of the temples, but many people tend to only visit the temple of the god they serve because they are all made in the same way. Even so, many people visit the temples every day. As far as restaurants are concerned, , located by the Rusha Temple, is the most popular, although it is said to be a bit expensive. The reply came as a surprise. Is it possible that there are a lot of tourists or tourists who visit Kya......, or are they familiar with guiding tourists because there are a lot of worshippers? Moreover, near the entrance, a 14 or 15 year old girl wearing a school uniform or something still looks like a student is handing out handmade leaflets for a fee and asking for tourist information: ....... Is this country OK? "I''m a little worried about our national security if the royal capital has become such a tourist attraction. I see a leaflet with a simplified map, so I buy it and say what I think while handing over the 5 cils. He checks the leaflet and puts it away, and the map is updated. The country has a path that looks like two triangles coming together to form a hexagon with the castle in the center. The apex of the hexagon is the temple. The wood god Tasha is in the north, and the rest are fire, wind, earth, gold, and water in clockwise direction. From the temple, the roads extend further, intersecting to form a large hexagram, and then connecting to form a hexagon again, so that there are six main roads from the temple. The map is good, but you will get lost if you actually walk around the temple. If you remember, the subtle differences in the shapes of the spires of the temples will help you to find your way around. "Oh my, this country has always been an academic city that welcomes people from all over the world, and the six temples are places of worship for people of all races. And there are strong wards in places that are off-limits, so it is not unprotected. "Is there any place that will let me learn warding ......?" Signs of new skills! "At the Academy of Magic, you can choose to take classes in warding and castle protection magic, but it is off-limits to outsiders. Or are you going to enroll?" I can''t sit and study now. I don''t care if it''s Kikuhime or Leo, they''re out of the picture in terms of appearance and age--! I don''t think so. I suppose age is no barrier to learning. No, thank you. "This may be a bit of a distraction from the tourist information, but can you give me a tour of the craft workshops and guilds here?" A thought occurs to him and he asks. "Yes, of course. He says he can show me around for 100 shillings per place, so I ask him to do it right away. "Well, let''s go to a casual place that serves good food," he says. "You want to go to ...... for a casual meal?" When you say "casual," you mean "common people''s casual. Casual? I can hear you whispering, is this guide girl a nice young lady with a nice way with words?¡¡Why is that a tourist information? "...... don''t be casual, just ask for a good restaurant." Correcting an order to a girl who has completely frozen in place. Could this be the course you are prepared to pay for? As we walked, we talked to her, and although she didn''t say so, she seemed to be a very important young lady. Her name is Christina. She has dark hair and hazel eyes with purple crystals, and she looks like a strong-willed and pretty candidate. Why is Christina giving a tour guide? I would not normally allow you to call me by my name, but since I don''t use it, I will make a special exception this time. He seems to be special. His expression hardens for a moment, but he lets it go. "It''s an assignment from the school." "I see. By the way, is that an escort or something following you from behind?" "How did you know I wouldn''t be alone?" It''s said so plainly. And then I was taken to an upscale restaurant, one street off the main road connecting the castle and the temple of Falu, where it was clear that no one was allowed to eat there. There was a carriage stop, and the structure of the restaurant suggested that this was not a place to come on foot. Am I allowed here dressed like this?¡¡What''s the dress code?¡¡Christina''s in uniform. "Well, miss, welcome." Conrad will be in later. It was a face-pass for the young lady. I wonder if Conrad is the name of the escort. I was afraid that I would stand out from the other customers, but it seemed to be a seriously high-class restaurant, and I was shown to a private room without meeting any other customers. Maybe they have an antechamber for their attendants. Wait, how much does it cost here! So I''m having dinner with a potential beauty. I''m sure you won''t be short of money, I''m ready. Come on! I thought I would be nervous because I would feel out of place, but it was easier than I expected because there was no one around but the waiter who comes to serve me and explain about the food just as I finish a plate in the private room. The waiter was an elderly chef who would have looked better in a butler''s uniform, though! Fine ingredients are carefully prepared. Normally, the produce of the inhabitants is not rated, or rather, it is rated from 4 and remains unchanged, neither good nor bad. If the production is requested by an adventurer (player) by name, or by providing materials, or something like that, even a resident can produce a product with a rating of 5 or higher, or even a product with a rating of 5 or higher. Failure. Apart from that, I have also heard of residents who have some kind of batu skill that makes cooking fail no matter what they do, for example, in relation to an event. Or, on the other hand, there are special residents like Luba, who are generally called masters or artisans, and get high marks without question. The chef here is the latter! It''s highly ranked ingredients and a cheat chef! It''s so good. The salads and appetizers are very good. The salad had rice on it! Rice! Oyster meuniere with large meat, very tasty. Rice! It''s kind of watery, or not sticky at all. Rice! My heart is shaking from the delicious food and the encounter with rice. Without giving away my incoherent inner thoughts, I ask Christina. "Is rice distributed in this country?" "This vegetable you were describing earlier?¡¡I''ve only had it here." "It''s not a vegetable, but a grain, like wheat. I see, so it''s not distributed." "I can ask him where you can get it." If you''re disappointed, kind words! "By all means." I suppose it was inevitable that I answered immediately with a full-throated smile. Christina asked the head chef who came to serve us where we could get the rice, and we were given a letter of introduction on our way home. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thanks to you, I''ll be able to get it." "I don''t want to give you a tour of the city with you depressed next to me. You''re too happy or sad about the food." I thanked him straight away, and he turned away. She looked embarrassed. "Since you said you wanted to learn warding, I thought you were a holy priestess, but you''re not, are you? "You''re a magic swordsman." Warding is a MID-dependent holy law system. "...... not a cook?" A clear, hard voice wavers. "Cooking is my hobby." "I think my hobby was worse when I found out I didn''t have it." "Well, I''d be happy to have warding, but I have other magic too." What are your attributes? Mine? Attributes?¡¡Do you mean the magic that can be used, or the compatibility? "If you don''t want to answer, I won''t force you. I was thinking about it for a minute, and then he got all worked up. "No, I was thinking about what you meant by attributes. Are the compatible attributes water ......, wind, dark, and wood?" Water, which is a good match from the beginning, has not been active, and I was planning to go mainly with the fire attribute since I didn''t think it was a match in the first place. "Well, you can use all four attributes, can''t you?¡¡And I can''t believe it''s wind." "No?¡¡We can use wood, fire, wind, earth, gold, water, light, and darkness." I thought I could go as far as to say that I was surprised, but I was not. His face, which basically never changes its expression, was stunned. "Not all the attributes! Huh?¡¡Can''t residents remember all the attributes?¡¡Shin is struggling to solve the riddle, too, and there''s no such thing as both light and dark. I wonder if lightning and sky magic are not allowed. "You''ve taken too many things, so the individual levels are low." "Still, it is rare to be able to use all the attributes. It is normal for an ordinary noble to have a double and a high noble a triple. s*xtuple is the best I know. I''ve heard that you can get more if you become an adventurer and kill many demons. ...... Are you an adventurer?" s*xtuple is six?¡¡Please use Japanese. The six attributes are wood, fire, earth, metal, water and light or dark? Yeah, you''re an adventurer. "This is the first time I have talked directly with an adventurer. Isn''t it rare for an adventurer to be able to use both light and dark? "Yes, I heard it is rare. But there will be more. I can''t tell you how to get both light and dark, though, because if I told you, you might not be able to get them. The alfas snapper poached with crispy skin and fluffy meat, served with a sauce made from a layer of potato pesto that has been molded and browned on the surface. The meat in the first appetizer was also delicious. I would like to try the meat course. I asked him about the various dishes and found out a shocking fact: the residents could not use all of their attributes. I don''t mean light and dark. They were born with the attributes they were born with, and if they had the aptitude for it, the temple would give them light or dark attributes. And if you get the blessing of the spirit, you can use those attributes. Even adventurers do not develop new attributes so frequently, and it is rare to have more than four attributes. Camilla had only darkness, and when I showed her status to those three, they were surprised at her lightning attribute, so I didn''t think it was unusual for the residents to have many attributes. Only players have many skills as well as magic, and it is rare for residents, even adventurers, to have skills outside their proper occupation, with the exception of recovery magic, which is easier to acquire than others. It may be that the more often they go to the temple, the more likely they are to manifest it, so it may be that they are unknowingly familiar with it, Christina said. Christina herself is said to have the five attributes of wood, fire, gold, water, and darkness. What about recovery?¡¡I asked him about it, and he said that since there are more people who can get it compared to light and dark, they can''t call themselves holy attribute holders unless they get skills of healing or holy law other than recovery, or unless their recovery effect is very high. By the way, the healing is said to be enough to heal the kneecap of a child who fell down. Iittai no ittai no todoke! So I feel like I''ve learned more about this world than I thought I would. The chocolate tart with sun-orange ice cream for dessert was very delicious. It tastes different when eaten together. ...... Yeah, the price I paid was more than what I spent a while ago to get a complete set of equipment. Praise me for naturally stopping Christina from trying to pay for the house later. I was thrilled to receive the letter of introduction for the rice, and Christina told me that I really like to eat. "Hope was a magic stone workshop, wasn''t it?" During the meal, I was told that the industry is active in the processing of magic stone and the smelting of gemstones. In the Isle, the processed magic stone is called "granted magic stone" to distinguish it from the unprocessed one. Alchemized gems become magic stones with various effects and are used for accessories. "Is it okay if I go to the store''s workshop ......?" The store I was taken to was a big store. Yes, I kind of expected that. I thought that the area between the trees and the water was a student area because of the school, but I was surprised to see a group of old and prestigious stores. The premises are so large and the buildings are not what you would expect to see at first glance. When you enter the store, you are greeted by showcases with highly transparent gems with magic circle inside and stones with strong magic power that give you a feeling of magic ....... That''s right, there is a showcase, but it looks like a piece of art displayed in a tasteful lobby. This is the method of bringing items according to the taste of the customers when they arrive, isn''t it?¡¡And it''s one of a kind. If you buy here, you will go bankrupt this time. Christina talks to a man who looks like the manager who greets us and calls me over. He seems to be showing me how the process works. The manager is there to show me around. I wonder how high up Christina''s family is. The magical stone is made by combining magical stones, gems, medicinal herbs, etc. that go well with each other to increase the effect of the stone many times over. The combination of these stones is just by placing them on the camps that appear, so there seems to be no problem as long as the combination is correct. The result is not used by itself, but is usually used to add attributes or special abilities to weapons and armor. The gemstones are different. Some people combine two less good quality stones to make a flawless and bright gem of a higher rank, while others smelt a parchment with a magic circle on it and a gem, trapping the magic circle in the gem. The magic circle being moved into the gem reminds me of the system in the Adventurer''s Guild whereby the permission for interstate travel is sucked into a card, and I now wonder if this is also a kind of alchemy or a magical tool. According to the manager''s explanation, the people who were working were specialists with the skill of gem smelting, which is derived from alchemy. "How about it, would you like to make one?" "Oh, you can make that?" "I can''t do alchemy, but I''m sure you can draw a magic circle, can''t you, young lady?¡¡Let''s have it alchemized into the jewel of your choice." I am being guided by Christina, but the manager is guiding Christina, and I am an extra, not to be disparaged. "Homura, what do you want?" He looks back at me, his expression hasn''t changed much but his voice is a little bouncy, maybe he wants to make it. Maybe he wants to make it. I want to learn magic circle too. I''ll be along for the ride. 45 - The Magic Stone The magic circle is drawn by looking at a sample book and applying magic power with a special ink, also made by alchemy. The preparation of the ink is not particularly out of bounds, but is said to be available in general alchemy stores to varying degrees. Christina tells me that there is a book in the library that describes how to make ink. I thought I would have a hard time finding the recipe, but it looks like I can get a variety of things. I remember that Al from the Adventurers'' Guild told me that magic is not popular in Geers. I guess you can get more information in a country that specializes in it. Christina is a magician. effect, and I chose the magic circle with protection effect. The reason for my choice is simple: I like the look of the magic circle. You have to buy a book of magic circle samples to memorize them. The sample book I was shown was a binder type, and an old man with ink-stained cuffs took off the clasps and set the pages I had chosen on the copying table. Sorry to interrupt your work. Christina chose rubies and I chose crystals. They looked expensive! No, I chose the crystal because it had a low rank among the materials in the line and I intend to do the alchemy myself. There were some crystals with higher ranks, but they were arranged separately. It was kind of them to arrange them by ranks. I''ll have to get a mineral/metal analysis too. It seems that the success rate of refining increases if the stones are aligned with each other, and the crystals, which are easy to transfer, are placed there so that the craftsmen can copy the magic circle and use it as a base before refining the main gemstone. The manager is not too chatty, but the craftsmen''s stories are very informative. I''ll keep them in mind. The craftsmen teach us how to write in silence. Without aptitude, the finished work will be just a pattern with no effect, and with little INT, the work will not be effective because it will not last until the end of writing. Can''t I make this into a stamp? It looks like it would be hard to engrave because of its fine details. It''s done. Likewise. "Well, both of you are very good at it." It seems to work well as a magic circle. "Then let''s have the artisans refine it." The manager smiles and graciously accepts Christina''s magic circle and hands it to the artisan. "Can I do mine myself?" "Do you have alchemy?" "Yes, I have." "As you wish. You can use the alchemy table if you like. The manager, whose gaze almost never moves from Christina. It seems that the most important thing for the manager right now is to make Christina''s magic stone. You''re treating me like crap! But still, it is a smelting stand. It is a facility that did not exist in the production plant in Diaz. The distance between the alchemy tables is far apart, perhaps to prevent interference between magical powers. You can make alchemy anywhere by setting up a camp, but as in the case of cooking, the success rate and evaluation will be higher if you use expensive equipment. I would like to have my own production facility someday. I realized that I forgot to read the explanation of the house, but I will read it slowly when I am alone. Now, I have upgraded my equipment from a portable smelter to a smelter, but I can only smelt three items. The alchemy table, which I activated by channeling magic power, has the same pattern as the alchemy circle. One is a teardrop-shaped crystal the size of my finger, one is the magic circle of protection that I have just described, and the other one is a magic circle that I can use for some magic. The one that seems to be harmless and compatible is recovery. By the way, the success rate of combining three pieces is 100%. The success rate of three pieces depends on the rank of the material and the magic to be cast. Taking off the glove of skill, the success rate is 70% for two pieces and 60% for three pieces. I have a master ring on. I guess it''s just a matter of level, but if magic is a requirement for alchemy, the result would be disastrous for a mage''s dexterity. No, if we make alchemy our main job and raise our level, will we be able to raise the necessary items in our status? It seems that the alchemist who is a sheaf via a sorcerer or from other production jobs via a sorcerer is the most capable. On the other hand, the success rate of "casting a spell" seems to depend on INT and the level of the spell in question, and the longer the chanting time, the lower the success rate. Now, when I try to select a magic, I am shocked at how low my magic level is. The reality is that the level of magic is not over 20 except for darkness. If I had reached 20 in light, I would have been able to cast a magic that would have been a counterpart to that of darkness. I have no choice but to cast the highest level magic . Let''s work hard in battle for the sake of production. The low level of magic does not lower the success rate, though. The formation shines brightly, and when the light fades, there is a pale purple gem with a magic circle inside. Where''s the crystal!¡¡It was supposed to be transparent! When you pick it up and look at it closely, you realize that the crystal is transparent as it was, and the magic circle floating inside is purple, and the color of the crystal shines faintly, so that it looks light purple at a glance. Amulet of blackbird crystal Produced by. Lengard Rating : 10 Rank . 4 Granted: Effect of mental protection. Material Properties . None It is calming to carry. If you are cursed or attacked by a spirit, it will be replaced twice. The same as the above. The effect of a rating of 10 causes feathers to fly to the target The person is known. This is what I made. I was able to appraise it and see if it is a tool or not. It''s a trap that will break easily if I take it into battle. I wonder if there is a limit to the number of times it can be used if it''s not a crystal. No, I think it would be better to make it a "curse resistance" or an individual resistance item instead of a protection item, so that it is always in effect. Also, it seems that the name of the item can be changed, though I don''t have a sense of naming. "I wonder if it worked out for both of us?" Christina, who had been watching a craftsman smelting a magic circle she had drawn next to her, comes to her side. "Yes, I''ve learned a lot thanks to you." "Wouldn''t you like to exchange stones with each other as a commemorative gift? Of course, if you are planning to use it, I don''t think it''s too much to ask." "I thought crystals and rubies were worth more than each other." I don''t mind, since I don''t plan to use it in battle. "Oh, it''s worth it that we made it together today. I''ve never been alone in the city and I''ve never been in a store with anyone other than my family before. Besides, I often see people around me at the school exchanging something with their friends and seem to be having a good time. ......" I''m looking away and my ears are red. I often receive gifts, but they are often inaudible ......... Are you a loner?¡¡I wonder if it''s called being on the high side. "Don''t tell anyone." Laughing, she drops a newly created magic stone into Christina''s hand so that the manager can''t see it. "Secret?" I put the ruby in my hand with a dubious look on my face. If I would stop smiling and being so impassive and show more of that smile, I''d make friends and lovers in no time. The reason I don''t tell anyone is because it has Lengard''s name written all over it. No magic stone talk here. Ruby of Magic Produced by: Howell''s Magical Stone Shop Rating : 4 Rank . 3 Material properties: affinity with fire Effects of magical enhancement Gemstone usually used for wands and accessories. The description is not very friendly. At least the maker''s name should be Christina. I''ll give it to the boy Julius to have it made into a wand. Christina has gone silent. "I''m leaving you now, manager." With a blank look on her face, Christina turns on her heel and heads for the exit. I don''t know, did I offend you?¡¡Was it that bad? The manager rushes to follow. I followed behind Christina for now. Oh, you think she''s using a false name, Homura? No, it wasn''t. They tried to keep it a secret. I wonder if he got the expressionless face of a nobleman when he tried to make it up to her. I was taken into a coffee shop/lobby-like area on the ground floor of a large inn, separated from the rest of the room by individual partitions. It seems that the young lady did not confirm me by standing around. "Why are you glowing ......?" "Well?" Maybe it''s because it''s rated 10. Apparently, they saw the glow and thought it was related to the "secret" and took me out of the store. "I''ve heard that if you put a spell on it, it can glow that color. ......, but you''re a magician, so you can use magic. I''m surprised, may I have a look at it?" "Please." It glows when you put magic in it. Christina''s a connoisseur too. She seems to have a good eye for gems. I appraised it before I said no, I regret that. "I''ve never seen crystals with this effect before. I''ve only heard rumors about it in the royal treasures. The limitation of the number of times it can be used is probably due to the strength of the stone. ...... will give it back to you." No, it''s rare. If it''s a royal treasure with no limit on the number of times you can take it into battle, I don''t know what it''s made of. Why? It''s out of proportion to my magic stone. What''s the use? "It''s what a nobleman would want. But I can''t accept a rating of 10, that''s out of line with the price." That being said, if you are a nobleman who is not in the front line, it might be better to have a wide range of protection than to have pinpoint protection against curses. You never know where they might be jealous of you and harass you, and it seems that they have guards to protect you from anything physical. Unlike the demons we''ve confronted, humans are likely to change their hands if the curse doesn''t work, and the next one is likely to be something from this side. On the other hand, my device protects me from a wide range of invisible attacks, and I can know who attacked me. I''m sure the attackers are hired guns, though. Well, the dragging of the nobles is just my imagination. "It''s worth it that we built it together today, isn''t it?" When I returned the words, he hesitated, but finally accepted them. "I will take good care of it." No, use it, will you? "Is it this effect that you don''t want me to know about?¡¡Is it a name?" "The name. That''s the name we use to make things. I don''t mind people criticizing the quality of my work, but it would be a little depressing if they knew it was me who made it." "All right, I know Homura, but I have never met Mr. Lengard, is that correct?" "Yes." Thank you for talking so quickly. And he gave a "sir" to Lengard. After that, he told me where the Mages'' Guild was located, and I came to the library. After being told how to register, time was up and it seemed that it was time for Christina to return to the school. Sign what looks like a certificate of completion of the assignment and return it with 500 shillings. The certificate says that the assignment was submitted by Group A. I was told that Group A was a group of children of a certain status, and that it was the idea of a boy of a higher status than the others. They were told that they were not to be escorted within sight, that they were not to identify themselves or their families, and that they were to treat tourists only with their own knowledge. I told him that it would be better to have at least two men in a group for safety measures, but he said that other groups have two men. When I complained about this to the guy who had put us in pairs, he stopped me gently. "Oh, you don''t mean 300 sil?" "Food, jewelry store, inn, mage guild, library." "I wasn''t asked to show you the rest stop, and the guild was just passing by." "The inn is the kind you can''t get into without an introduction, a face-saving payment. The rest is just for giving me access to the magic books." The magic books are in a separate building, frequented by students of the Academy of Law and Magic. Since some of them are of high status, they are not registered to use the library, but are granted permission to browse the books. Qualifications for students in this country, including those of the academy, depend on their status as a student, and those who are not students can be obtained through an introduction from the temple, the mages'' guild, or a nobleman of some standing. By the way, it is said that the majority of the students in the academic academies are city boys who have no aptitude for magic. The law school has a short jacket and one-piece dress with a long hem, and the men wear a military-style uniform with a collar. The academy has a sailor-like uniform with a mini skirt and a blazer for the men. "That''s what you get just for belonging to the mages'' guild." "It seems like a hassle to be a member. I enjoyed being taken to places I wouldn''t have been able to go alone today." I spent a lot of money, but I should be able to get some rice! Christina and I shook hands and parted ways. Now, I would like to stay here and read until the museum closes, but I have to get some rice before it closes. The location is almost diagonally opposite from here, from the Temple of the Earth. Carriages, carriages. If you have time, you can go for a stroll, but the stores close when the sun goes down. I''m glad I took some anti-sickness medicine. We get off at the temple of the earth and walk for a while. Call the white! > . . Wonderful fluff. I arrived at a smaller store than I expected. But when I showed them my letter of introduction, they showed me a large building next door. Apparently, their main business is wholesale, selling directly to restaurants, etc., and they have a small store next door to sell half of what they buy and a few of what they have. > < I went inside and showed him my letter of introduction. "Oh, you''re the one who brought his letter of introduction?" "Yes, I want to share the rice." Him?¡¡So you are personally acquainted with the head chef, and not just restaurant-to-restaurant? I had thought that they were just friends with other big restaurants. "That''s a rare ingredient, but its use is limited here, so I don''t sell it privately. "So if you tell me where they are produced, I''ll go and buy them myself, but that would be trolling for suppliers, wouldn''t it?" "They''re rare because they''re far from where they come from and because there''s no demand for them around here. I don''t mind telling you where they come from, there''s more than one place." "Oh!¡¡I''m flattered, but won''t the owner be offended if I tell him without permission?" I am the owner. Oh, no. The owner of this big store is working with you? <> < I answer White''s question. "The food looks pretty heavy, but you''re packing and unloading, aren''t you? You can''t tell the condition of the food from sitting on it." I love this wholesaler. It makes me happy. "Come along, I''ll sell you what I have left over." Judging from the rice served at the restaurant, it may be a little different from the rice we eat in the real world. No, the developers here seem to be very picky, so I''m sure they have some good rice ......! If you can get rice, you can make sake. If you can make sake, you can make mirin and roasted sake. Even without soy sauce and miso, you will be able to enjoy Japanese food for a while without getting bored. I have already looked up koji on the net, and if I were asked to make it in the real world, I might fail, but the good thing about cooking here is that even if you do it properly, it will work. But I''m not sure if making koji counts as cooking. I hope you can make koji that produces tasty koji. I almost skipped along. "You look really happy." I was so excited that I was double-barreled into the room. We left the reception area where we were first ushered in, passed through the side of the office, and came to a warehouse/unloading area in the back of the building. There was a flat floor from the road, and it looked like a marketplace with a lot of foodstuffs. Unlike a market, the shelves were lined up in rows. The colorful produce arrived and was quickly loaded onto wagons and taken away. I guess freshness is the name of the game in that area. Yes. The rice I met was in a jute bag with the hulls attached. It looked like it had just been threshed. But was it lucky enough to make seed koji?¡¡When I looked up koji, I believe I read that seed koji is made from the small blackish balls on the ears of rice. "There are a lot of other ingredients here, you know?¡¡Are you sure this is what you want?" "Mm, this is fine." I don''t think the taste is that addictive. Does this old man even taste all the ingredients he receives? "It''s a staple food because it''s not peculiar. You want to try some? "You look so happy, let me try some." That''s what happened. 46 - The Long-cherished... Currently, I am renting a room that looks like a meeting room, holding a borrowed bottle and sticking a stick into it. ......The only way I could think of for milling rice is this. He is filling the jar with rice and then poking the top of the jar with a stick to remove the bran. Brown rice is good, but start with the basic white rice. The threshing is that, I had to bother the guy at the store. He told me that the threshing process used for wheat is like doing the magic washing of life with wind instead of water. Threshing is a trap that has been introduced into my cooking skills. You can make pickles with rice bran, and if you have bamboo shoots, you can remove the scum from the bamboo shoots. I''m just crunching it steadily with a stick for the sake of my appetite. If you use too much force, the rice will break, so use lightly. If you pound too fast, the friction will heat up the rice, so take your time. I promised White that I would feed him later, and he returned home. It has taken quite a long time. The rice is done when the brown rice turns white and the white rice becomes slightly transparent. I have acquired the cooking skill [Rice Polishing]. Next time it will be easier. There are people in ......,s development who absolutely love to eat. I like that skills related to normal cooking behavior do not cost skill points. I was wondering if production skills don''t need skill points, but it seems that skills such as [Increase Precision] and [Improve Quality] require skill points. I don''t use them for normal cooking, though I try to improve the quality. And I have yet to find a skill that requires skill points. I wonder if you have to manually prepare the same dish with all the ingredients and knock a thousand times to get it. It is good that I am not in trouble so far. I heard that if you don''t try to master the job, you can loosely do anything in both combat and production, and the jobs will be derived more and more. However, if you try to master it, you will have to work on the same job for a long time. Ochazuke said that it is recommended to learn skills that require skill points after you finally get the job you want. While thinking about such things, I finished my onigiri!¡¡There was no nori, so I made salted musubi, and put thickly seasoned meat inside. I want soy sauce for this one, too. I need to look for other ingredients. I made another cheese risotto and called my grandfather. "Oh, this is good. I can eat it in one hand and it fills me up. Regular bread is too dry, and the hard stuff is too hard. Unexpectedly, what he liked was the onigiri. "You won''t get bored if you change the ingredients inside, like salmon or cod roe," he said. "Well, we have some longa salmon in stock. I''ll give you one for your meal. I would buy the recipe from you and spread it around, but unfortunately we don''t have that much rice in stock. I was told that the place of origin is an island nation called Fuso, which is located over a narrow mountain road and further across the sea from there. Can''t you get there from anywhere in the sea?¡¡As for the other way around, I was told that the only way to cross is through the ocean currents caused by the sea dragons. The sea dragon is as annoying as my father''s gag. However, since it produces a lot of gold, the trade is said to be uninterrupted, albeit thin. The place is east of this continent. It''s so obvious that we''re in the Far East! Fuso is Fuso? I knew there was one, but it''s getting out fast! Kikuhime informed me that she was home and that she was going to leave the carriage and finish her bath and dinner, and that she was going to log out. Before Kikuhime logged out, she hurriedly replied to Leo and Shin, telling them to leave the carriage alone and eat dinner first when they got home. Leo is likely to be in the second floor or something after calling out to Sir. Shin''s login mail arrives without a pause, and he seems to have logged in to the carriage in a hurry to leave it there after receiving a real mail from Kikuhime. He logged out and adjusted the time he could stay logged in, because Kikuhime and the others should be here soon. And now he is at the production facility in Sar with the rice he bought from his father and the salmon he got from his father. After that, I went to the warehouse again to get the rice, and found soybeans, azuki beans, and dried tofu next to the rice. I was happy to see them, but why koya-dofu there? Of course I bought all of them. When I tried to buy some more vegetables, I was told to take some for my own use. Normally, the warehouse itself does not allow personal use, but thanks to the letter of introduction, I was able to get some. I asked him if the storage method was a life magic type, and he gave me a recipe for "chilling" the vegetables. You''re keeping this huge warehouse cool with a cooking recipe!¡¡In return, I taught him how to cook rice. Now, I''m wondering if it''s possible to have both koji, which provides both miso and soy sauce, and rice, because all the Japanese foodstuffs they had on hand were in small quantities. At any rate, I must make seed koji. So, there is a thin layer of unhulled rice on a cloth in front of me. I thought that there is no way to make seed koji from unhulled rice, but there it is. It was greenish, blackish, roundish, and larger than azuki beans. I found that it was made from rice koji, so I am sure. How detailed is this world? Well, that''s how I got the rice koji! Three bottles of sake and a bottle of soy sauce were brewed. I used the "chill" function, which I had just learned. I''ve tried to put the beer in the fridge after it was ready, or at room temperature, but I don''t think that will be the case with sake. Maybe. I can''t say for sure, though, since there are game factors. One bottle is for Kikuhime and Peter to open when they get together, and one is for Luba who is playing the sword for me. Ruba seems to be taking time to level up and get used to his newly acquired spirit. The other one is for cooking. I need one more bottle to make mirin (sweet sake), but if I add more sake, I will not have enough for the important thing of cooking. For the rice, I grilled salmon with salt and made salmon rice balls. I make some to eat outside. I put the leftover salmon fillets in the item box. The others are cooked and eaten as usual. In addition, I removed the name of production and made some dishes. I''ll give them to the adventurers I''m with, in addition to the ochazuke. Where''s the curry? It seems that human desire knows no bounds. He told me that the next shipment from Fuso will arrive in a month or so, and asked me to give him a patka and let him know when it arrives. Now, I finish the production for myself and leave for the city of Saa. It was a good time for me to meet him in Saa town. I bought some barrels at a barrel shop for brewing sake and soy sauce. Is it my imagination that I seem to run to the barrel store every time I come here? Since things were pretty hectic the last time I was here, I decide to walk around the town until everyone else arrives. Then I look at the furniture and remember. Checking the titles and the details of the houses. Let''s start with the easy one. The effect of the title "The One Who Flies the World" was to "make the weather more favorable. I guess that means I became a sunny man. ....... The major affiliations are as follows. Adventurers'' Guild ??? Discounts at inns, increased purchase of materials at guilds, etc. Commercial guild - Discounts and increases on sales and purchases. Occupation guilds ??? Improve the skill efficiency of each occupation by a small amount, etc. Production guilds - Increase efficiency of production by a small amount, etc. Temples - Free overnight stay in temples, etc. Lords - Allowed to stay in the barracks as a guest, etc. The top two have no particular quota, while the bottom four seem to have periodic quotas for quests, deliveries, and so on. The bottom two are for priests and knights of the state, I guess. Clans are like forming a group of like-minded people, but you have to decide which group you belong to. You apply for a clan and start up a clan. You can belong to other clans or individually to other places, but there is no problem if you do not belong to any individual clans. Unlike e-mail, it is convenient to be able to talk to all the members of the clan, which seems to be a different function from my [telepathy] that does not come up in my skills. Houses can be owned by a clan or by an individual, and can be either rented from an existing house or built from scratch by renting or buying a plot of land. The price depends on the location and the size of the building. I would like to look at different countries and decide where to build. But if we take too much time, the best places will be bought by others. It''s a problem! The city of Sar seems to be somewhere between a town and a village. It is idyllic for a town and large for a village. Instead of stone city walls, wooden fences surround the city in seven or eight layers. A river flowing from Narn touches the northern part of the town, and it seems that the river brings in large trees cut down in the forest. The trees brought to the city are already stripped of their branches and leaves and made into logs, which are carried by horses through the city, so that the dirt paths are hardened and trodden. The closer to the river, the more large buildings like warehouses are erected, perhaps to handle large timbers, and in the daytime the sound of the wood being cut can be heard from inside the buildings. The further away from the river, the more the sound changes to the rhythmical sound of chisels and other tools used to make exquisite carvings. Well, now is the time of the yellow moon and not so popular. Looking up, the white moon shines beside the yellow moon. The yellow moon appears only at night, while the white moon appears at different times of the day depending on the season, perhaps because of its orbital shift. There is not much to see at night, so we spend our time by the riverside tracing the shape of a sword. After tracing the patterns for a few times, Leo logged in. It seems that he has been there for a long time. Sorry for the snooping. Leo says he''s going fishing until everyone else arrives, and invites me to go with him to the collection site. I wonder if he finally got all three collecting skills, Leo. I should get [Mineral and Metal Identification] too. When I arrived at the gate, Leo was posing with six macho guys in shorts under the bonfire that lit up the gate. Each of them was wearing black, red, blue, white, pink, and green boomerang pants. Why do you shine every time you change poses, Leo? Ham is pissed, yeah. Can I go home to ......? The six machos, apparently done talking in physical language, run off in silence. Large and small pink hearts scatter. Is this a running title?¡¡As I froze, feeling chills from shivering, Leo called out to me. "Oh!¡¡You''re here." Stop, don''t talk to me, I still want to be considered a stranger! My wishes come true and he runs toward me with a smile, so I quickly leave the gate and head for Leo''s fishing spot. Fortunately, unlike Macho, Leo is clothed. On the way, he said, "I''ll show you the way!¡¡Follow me!" and he started running at a speed that didn''t take into account my mage-like legs. Thanks to the master ring, I didn''t lose him. "I can''t keep up with you! He puts on his gale boots in a hurry and kicks at Leo, who is running in front of him laughing hahaha. Leo stumbles. "You''re really fast, aren''t you? My AGI (speed) is 45. My INT (skill) is 71. If I had been a shifu-derivative, my DEX and AGI would have gone up similarly if I hadn''t done anything. I thought that one of them would not be outstanding like the intelligence of a mage or the spirit of a healer. I guess he is a mage, but he must have been focusing on his speed, since he can''t catch up with AGI which is increased by [Val''s favor] even if it is increased by 1.5 times by the master ring of the Sword King. "No, he''s also wielding a little bit of dexterity. He''s fishing!¡¡Fast on your feet is a title effect, man!" "Either way, I usually can''t keep up with you aaaaahhh!!!!" The second kick of the day explodes. Leo is grinding the ground with his face. It''s nice to have an immediate means of recovery! He says his title is [He who moves only forward]. ...... The effect of the title is to increase the speed of movement. Leo''s running title is [Conqueror of the beast path]. The title may sound cool, but when he runs, leaves and twigs are flying with dust. How about that effect, is there a rustling sound effect?¡¡Is it my imagination? We avoid the battle and arrive at Leo''s fishing spot. The clear spring water made even I could see some fish, which made me expect to catch some fish. I was in a good mood because there was a loquat that I had been looking for a little more than just a point to collect. Simple as I am. I quickly pick up some a short distance away from where Leo started fishing. The appraisal shows that it is a material for acid neutralizer. I wonder if the enemies around here spit acid or something. And alkali. I made a few bottles of alka-grass and water to try it out and complete the 100% effect. I finished picking the points right away, so I moved on to the loquat. The loquat was still as big as they sell in the real world. Normally, the loquats need to be picked and cared for or else they would be small, but there were large, almost orange loquats in clusters, though they did not seem to have been cared for. I didn''t take all of them for those who might come later, but I still picked a lot of them. I wonder if <> is the best material for making wooden swords. I can expect the best from them since there are plant demons here, but as for the rice malt, I''ll take a branch if you are so detailed in setting it up. "Hey, hey..." "What?" Without looking at Leo, he answers, selects one with a straight core, drops the branch, and puts it away in the item pouch. "Look at this! Finally, I turned my eyes and saw Leo in red boomerang pants. When our eyes meet, he says he''s good at what he does. "I''ve got pants!" Posing to emphasize the boomerang. "You don''t have to show me that!" "I''m a 10, man, a 10, a 10, a 10, a 10, a 10, a 10, a 10, a 10, a 10, a 10, a 10." I was the one who kicked Leo into the fountain. "d*mn." Why do they want to show it like this, school kids! I stared at the fountain with this thought in my mind, but Leo never came up. I wondered, was he going to dive and hide and pull me in when I got worried and approached the fountain?¡¡He can swim, or rather, he can catch fish by harpooning them in a bare dive, so I wouldn''t worry about him drowning. Well, I am talking about real life. As I was pouring my eyes into the fountain, the surface of the water bubbled and a column of water rose up. > Yes? ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ Increase...

It is strange that she looks graceful even though she is a child. Perhaps it is a sign of age. But, however, she is smiling, and to her right is an elaborate statue of a golden Leo (?). The silver one hangs on the left. He looks godly for nothing, despite what he is holding. He is asking me if I dropped the gold or the silver one, which is the standard. By the way, am I the only one who doesn''t want an elaborate statue of my friend?¡¡The silver one, however, is life-size gold. And they have different bodybuilding poses for the gold and silver. Where are they going to put them? Gold is supposed to be heavy, but how can you hold it in one hand? Is it plated?¡¡And the statue(?) Stop grabbing the neck of the "Mere Old Man" and holding it out to him as if you want him to check it out. "Neither. It''s more normal, maybe." What is normal for a moment?¡¡I thought and I didn''t say anything. "I don''t want gold or silver. ......" <> The fountain spirit is a purple piece of cloth. "You''re the one with the boomerang pants!" < Despite my exclamations, she disappeared as if melting into the fountain, leaving behind a smile that seemed to fizzle around the fluttering flowers. What followed was Leo in gold, Leo in silver, Leo collapsed at his feet, and me clutching a purple rag for some reason. In the midst of all this, an announcement is made that I have won a title. I have obtained the title [Blessing of Falu]. [Water magic] has changed to [water magic]. You have acquired the skill [Ice Magic]. Wait a minute. That''s the water god? Not the spirit of the fountain? Hey, this piece of cloth has a "non-transferable" and "non-destructible" effect on it. Yeah, there''s no indication of durability. It''s a 10 rated sacred artifact, of course. It has more than three times more defense than all my gear combined. It also has ¡¾Unlock Equipment Restrictions¡¿and ¡¾Attractive¡¿. The true effect is limited to the eye. What does it charm? If I put these on and go into the fountain, will I see Fal again? Yes, it also has [All Climate Resistance]. I wouldn''t wear them if you cared that much. £¡£¡£¡£¡£¡£¡£¡£¡£¡£¡£¡ I tried to smash it into the fountain, but it wouldn''t come off my hand like it was stuck there by static electricity. I waved my hand, but it wouldn''t fall. When I picked up the object in my right hand with my left hand, it came off easily. When I let go of the object, it clings to the fingers of my left hand and does not come off. I thought the item [non-destructible] would return to the item pouch if it was more than 3 meters away from the owner.¡¡I don''t understand. Okay. I plunge the purple rag into the fountain up to my wrist, thinking that if it''s static electricity, it will go away if I soak it in water. It still doesn''t leave. ...... "Kyaa~ you put it on right away!" I looked up at the yellow voice that came with a rustling sound, and saw Faru with a twinkle in his eye. I had been ready to push him back, but his reappearance without a moment''s delay made me freeze, both uncomfortable and surprised. "I don''t care if we meet in the same area!" "What?" "I don''t play favorites with people who don''t wear them!" "Don''t talk to me like I''m some kind of a show-off!" "It''s okay to expose yourself!" "I wouldn''t take it off if I didn''t have to!" No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. She is a little girl or a little girl, I don''t know. Her hair is soft and wavy, a very light blue. White skin that looks as if it were wet. Slender limbs. When she speaks, she is a goddess of regret. "I can''t help it! Give me some meat for now." What''s the connection? "You had drinks with the wind and the trees, didn''t you?¡¡I like meat. Eating it and watching it." The Goddess of Shame is saying unfortunate things, is this the effect of the "Time of the Gods"? Do I have to beg for food every time I meet the gods? Well, it''s a request from the gods, after all. So I served Chottai meat grilled in a salted pot. He said he loves meat, so I served him meat!¡¡I selected something that looked like "What?¡¡You''re going to split it?¡¡Let me do it!" I forgot to buy a mallet, but a rolling pin or a ground wooden mallet would be fine. If the fish is inside, I will carefully remove it with a knife. It was worth the trouble to carry around this shape because it is fun to crack it open, but it was an unexpected person who wanted to crack open the salt kettle. I was expecting Leo or Shin. When the outer covering of egg white and salt is cracked open, a chunk of meat comes out. I ask the goddess how much she wants to cut off and lightly sear the meat. The fat crackles and splashes. I also grilled some green beans and sliced onions and served them to the goddess of regret who was about to drool. The delicious-looking food stimulated my appetite, and I cut up a piece of meat from the chottai and ate it myself. As I watched the Goddess of Misery with her mouth full of meat, I thought to myself. Why does she love meat when she is the goddess of water? "I see fish every day, do you want to eat the ones that come to you?" "Okay, that makes sense." "I want them to taste good, but I don''t think I''ll eat them myself..." "Oh, I gave the first statue there the title [God''s Big Fishing Flag], and I''ll give it to you as well. You don''t seem to know how to fish or sew, and you don''t use a bow. You didn''t show me the meat, but I gave you the title because I got the meat, but it barely has anything to do with the Holy Law. Says the disappointed goddess while sipping orange juice after dinner. While I was wondering whether I should put it in the first statue or the big fish flag, or in the place where I was being ruined, Falu said thank you for the food and disappeared. I have obtained the title "Saint of Falu. Ice magic has changed to ice magic. I have acquired the [Sacred Magic]. Recovery has been merged with the more effective Sacred Magic. Here comes another announcement! "Noooooo!¡¡Announcement!¡¡What the hell!" Leo wakes up when Fal disappears and starts fussing over the statue. He''s in his underwear. "That''s it! While you were sleeping, Fal, the water god, came to see you. Check the title and see." "Oh?" I checked. Blessing of Fal. This is just as well, as it increases the power and spirit of the water system. As usual, no other effects are visible yet. Saint of Fal Increases the effectiveness and range of the Holy Law system. Also, if the god of the earth [Dur''s Blessing] or more is possessed, it will be able to heal the sick. Ice Magic], as the name suggests, is a magic of Lv.1 with <>. Sacred Magic] is Lv.1<> that restores life and energy. Recovery] is a magic that restores life and energy at Lv. 1<>. I had reduced it and raised it, but seeing that there is no level for [Recovery] alone, it seems that the amount of recovery is only spirit-dependent. I heard that the amount of recovery is a little high and it also seems to recover the motivation. How many MIDs do you think I have?¡¡I''m surprised I''m at 19! Even with the master ring, that''s 28! And that''s when I notice that I have more rags in my belongings. Following the purple ones, there are gold and silver boomerang pants. Naturally, the three pieces of cloth with the "Cannot be discarded" sign were stored at the top of the item pouch of the initial equipment. Yeah, initial equipment is not durable, so there''s no need to worry about it breaking and scattering your stuff around. That unfortunate goddess £¡£¡£¡£¡£¡£¡£¡£¡ But neither gold nor silver had [non-transferable] on them. Like the purple one, it is highly effective, although its effectiveness is greatly reduced if it is not visible, and [charm] is not effective at all if it is not visible. The gold and silver items are more effective than the gold and silver items, perhaps because they are fountain items. Is this some kind of equipment to challenge dragons in pantyhose or something like that? ...... No, I don''t wear them. Is the gold and silver for distribution? Who am I supposed to give them out to? ....... "Oh wow, my skills are amazing, I''m going on a fishing spree!" Leo shouts after checking his skills. "What kind of effect does it have?" "Well, the title [Falu''s Blessing] and [God''s Big Fishing Flag], and the skill is [Fish Gourmet]. The fishing banner is said to attract more fish!¡¡The "fish dinner" is a fishing bait that can be handled with rank M! It is raised by consumption." "Maybe you should be a fisherman by now, you know." I say in disgust, though I can''t speak for others. Leo seems to have one less skill than me. I wonder if the Gods are randomly bestowing skills and titles. It''s too mysterious. No, is it strange that he is receiving them while the event is going on without his consciousness? "Oh, and [Blades of Freezing], when you hit it, it gives you frostbite and stops your skills for 5 seconds." "I thought that was the main one. ......" You got it! The skill ¡¾Seafood Gohan¡¿is a skill with a silly name, but it seems to have a similar effect to my ¡¾Tasha''s Disciple¡¿. My title has < in the skill of smelting, and it is a broken title that ignores the rank of the person who handles it. The title is more effective than the skill. I mean, it''s hard to react if I got it while I was sleeping and asked to be taught right in front of you. Fal is not likely to fish in the first place. But the titles and skills he has received from the gods are powerful and useful. I''m sure [Blade of Freeze] is also a broken skill. Then, are [Time Magic] and [Sacred Magic] powerful? I had hardly worked on both [wood magic] and [druid] which were derived from [time magic]. The skills that changed from sorcery to magic after encountering the gods also do more damage than usual. I must use them actively. "Hey, hey..." "What?" While I was thinking, Leo called me. "Boomerang, I got it under my clothes!" "You''re still wearing that?" Leo, the man with the red boomerang. I don''t want to imagine what''s going on under Leo''s clothes. "I''m getting hard between my legs!" Leo makes a crude gag, and I kick him for the first time today. Even though the effectiveness of the underwear is reduced, it is still more protective than ordinary underwear. I haven''t checked it with it on, though, so I don''t know to what extent it''s ability is reduced. Leo sank into the fountain again with a loud thud, but fortunately or not, nothing appeared this time. In the previous games, he had a Hari-sen. Do they have them in this world?¡¡We will have to go kicking until we get it. We split the gold and silver Leos, and I got the silver Leo. Why? I was thinking that when the House is ready, I''ll hang it up in Ochazuke or Shin''s room while he''s away!¡¡I know it''s a ways down the road, but log on and be amazed! Woohoo! As we were planning our future furniture terror plan, it seemed that everyone was here, so we decided to join them on the way to defeat the boss. Come to think of it, Peter also had the [Blessing of Falu], didn''t he?¡¡I wonder how he got that, after all, boomera ...... No, let''s not imagine our friend''s underwear situation. You''ll damage yourself. We meet up with Ochazuke and the others on the road before entering the forest where the boss is, and continue through the forest. Peter is away on business. Once all the members are together, the topic of conversation turns to clans. Ochazuke had already asked the guilds and temples about their terms and conditions, and they were willing to register a clan anywhere for a basic fee of 300,000 shillings and 100,000 shillings per member for each additional member. If we register six members, the total cost will be 900,000 shillings. That''s 150,000 shillings per person. I don''t have that kind of money. "No, not as well!" The beastly duo screams. "Leo, what did Shin do with the money from selling the moonlight stone?" Leo said he spent it in the forge, but I seem to recall Shin selling it. "I spent it on gambling and lost all my money." You''re an idiot. "Do you want me to lend it to you for a toi-ichi?" I wondered if there was any place to take a gamble, and then I got a simple comment from Kikuhime and a proposal for a high-rate loan for ochazuke. "Where do I register?" "I guess I''ll have to reject it, since everyone''s occupation and production is so different. If you want to enter, do it individually." Lords and temples seem like a pain in the ass, don''t they? Maybe adventurers or traders. "By the way, when I came here to pack up and leave the wagons behind, I came by the Adventurers'' Guild and saw some guys registering as a clan right away." "That was fast..." "Well, I don''t think this one is particularly effective or penalized, so I''ll spread the word on the bulletin board. "Oh, thank you." "Don''t thank me, just save your money. Ask Peter what he wants for Homura. "Yes, sir." I''ll text you later. "I''ve been asked to officially join the workshop, does that mean I belong?" I''m sure you will. "Leo, are you going to be a private member, or a blacksmith?¡¡Isn''t there a fishing guild somewhere?" "If it''s early in the game, maybe a secant?¡¡And there''s an ocean?" "Well, let''s see if there is fishing. "I think you said in your announcement that even if you don''t belong to an organization, you will be treated equally if you gain the organization''s trust. If push comes to shove, go for it." What would you call yourself? "Good luck." Are you sure the five of us will be okay? "I did it with Karma and the others during the day and had plenty of time to spare, so I''m sure they''ll be fine." While we were talking about how much the clan house would cost, we arrived in front of the boss. During the daytime, Ochazuke is usually in a party with his real friend Karma, who seems to be more of a strategy player. Karma is here in this world, too, and I will probably be called upon on the rare occasion when the group is short. Well, this is my second Circle Moth. Oh, I found [Magic Formation] in the list of skills acquired during the battle on the road! And also [Cutting], because I cut down a loquat branch. ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ More...

Today, he is not equipped with a sword, but with the staff he used before, and he carries two staffs. The boss is so big that a sword would have been fine, but since the party would have been made up of melee fighters, I settled for a long-range magic attacker. It''s dangerous to be hit by each other''s attacks by enemies of normal size on the way, and even at the boss, Ochazuke told me, "It''s too much trouble to watch out for everyone, and if there are multiple attacks by enemies, you''ll all be hit if you''re in a group, so don''t do it. What does it mean to be a magic swordsman? ....... It''s not good that I sound like a "magician" and a "swordsman". I''ve heard that usually you fight with a sword and use magic to help you, or you enchant your sword with magic to make it a magic sword or something. And I heard that many of them are derived from swordsmen. In the beginning, it''s still manageable, but if you''re a mage-derivative, you''re going to have a lot of H! And the mage-derived ones usually give up and join another profession due to their strength, power and speed, or fight mainly with magic and use a sword when they accidentally get tagged, and wand art is easier to use since there is no need to change weapons. I remember when I started to play as a swordsman, I was so impressed with Kikuhime''s H! I remember that when I started to be a swordsman, I felt a bit overwhelmed by the difference of H! I think that STR is still less than half of Kikuhime''s, though STR has been increased since I became a magic swordsman. If I didn''t have the equipment for solo defeat, I might have failed too. Now that I have the [Discernment], I can get H! is low, but if you don''t get hit, you don''t have a problem. I think about my current situation and use <> and attack magic. "Homura, is that a variant of double-skill? "Maybe?" Ochazuke answers his question. "Karma was a twin swordsman and used skills in both, but I''ve never seen him let go and float." ......! "Come to think of it, if you have two wands, you must have two arms." "Hey!" I should have had both. <. "No, wait, it''s only my dominant hand that doesn''t lose its effect..." Yes, when I was with Peter in the forest, I experimented and found that holding the staff with my left hand was no different from holding it with the left hand, which is just floating. Too bad. I didn''t feel it so much when I played with Galahad, but Cirkmos has a high physical defense and is almost impervious to normal attacks. It seems that the skill is safe. I was not concerned about it, since I was a magic-pusher both times, but when I settled down a little further away from him, the difference in damage was noticeable. The three close by players also noticed this ...... and even if they were not there, Leo and Shin were still all skillful. Kikuhime noticed this and stopped using her normal attack, which she had used in the beginning. Circle Moth spits acid on us. It''s you, I need a !¡¡In addition to the damage, the armor corrodes and the defense is lowered. The victim is Kikuhime, who throws a <> at the enemy, eliminating the effect of the acid and immediately followed by an oversized attack. Thank you. "Oh, no!" Ochazuke immediately flies to recovery. "It''s so hard... Oh, Kikuhime''s defense is broken, can you [Kuroyoh]?" "It''ll be a little while before I can re-summon it." "It takes quite a long time, is the effect high and the level of the technique high?" "No, the rank of the spirit is not suitable for me." I can use magic while moving because of [action chanting], but I don''t have to avoid it because Kikuhime is stopping me, and I talk with Ochazuke who is by my side in between magic spells. I talk with Ochazuke who is by my side in between magic spells. It is fun to fight while talking at a leisurely pace, though it may be a bit dull if I don''t move. The close team is making strange noises while punching, kicking, and cutting each other up. "Whoa!¡¡This way''s skill rotation is more firepower!!!!!!!" Shin is diligently researching skill sets that will increase his firepower. "Oh, I like that." "If you think it''s good, Leo, I''ll use other techniques!" "Wahahaha!¡¡I already have no skill points because I took a skill that shines when I pose!" "That was a skill that uses skill points!¡¡I mean, it was a skill! I was surprised by the fact that I was talking to a friend in close proximity. "Wa-ha-ha-ha-ha!" "Well, what the heck. " "Good luck." I was stunned, and after a short pause, Ochazuke said to me. It looks like I''m still in charge of a little more. What else did you take, Leo? Didn''t you get the skill level for ......? > doesn''t have any strength levels, so I just use my old wand and send it to Leo, and then grab my current main wand and fire off some offensive magic. I thought Peter would no longer need < to surprise me and Leo would no longer need it, but I''m still happy to be <''s handler. I''m sorry I thought it was too subtle. I guess every skill depends on how you use it. "Uh-oh!" "Aah!" "No way!" "I''m sorry!" I thought it would be impossible, but when I experimentally used magic in the order I used it on the main right hand side, the [power of rotation] was activated and I got the tag. "If you''re going to use it, you should have warned me you were going to use it! Kikuhime scolded me, and I had to apologize to Ochazuke for the recovery. The defense of [Kuroyoh] was effective, so it was not a big disaster, but the battle line shifted and I caused a lot of trouble. However, [weapon retention] is a very useful skill, isn''t it? If you use two wands and both of them use [Mawaru Chikara], you can perform a double application of [Mawaru Chikara]. With a normal double-skill, you can use the same amount of time for two [Chiriki], but there will be a pause between the first and the second one. Isn''t it romantic to be able to release it all at once, even if one of the effects is lower than the other? "Griffin''s < is good, it increases the firepower. I can''t wait to get my hands on some good equipment. I was about to send Griffin''s < out for modification, sorry. "It has more firepower, but it doesn''t have more defense.¡¡That was a big help." "Kikuhime also had something called [Grand Slash] that was really powerful." "It''s a derivative of [Slash] that requires a pause before activating. The longer you wait, the stronger you are." We had some accidents, but the five of us were able to defeat them with a little time to spare. I''ve done the dungeon and the boss of Foss, and my level and skill level have improved, so it seems I can handle a party fight. Here are the loot. Circlemoth shell x4 Circlemoth breastplate Rubies x 10 Ring of Quickness "Gee, it''s a little creepy!" "It''s so bug-like." "Ugh." "Ugh, I don''t want to wear that." I nodded my head in agreement. "The armor maker at the stall will make it look nice. It will also increase your abilities a little, so why don''t you have it done?" "Oh, yeah?" "The owner is a woman named Elias, but there aren''t many adventurers'' stalls yet, so you''ll know her when you get there." I''ll sell the breastplate to Elias. I think again as I look at the four of us trying it on. And the rubies came from Cirkmos. I''ll try to combine rubies in alchemy later. "What about after releasing Sir?¡¡I''d like to open a secant too." "It takes a long time to move around, so I guess I''ll just leave the wagon again, maybe tomorrow?¡¡Unless you''re taking a running test." I''ve got it! I''ve got one too. "Yes, I have." "Oh, you all have them?" Sorry, I don''t have one. Shin wants to open the second compartment, but he doesn''t have it. "Okay!" Ochazuke gets fired up. I looked at him and wondered what it was. "Run!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" "Wa-ha-ha-ha!" Leo followed Ochazuke, who suddenly started running, and overtook him. "You mean you want Shin to learn how to run by running?" "Let''s go!" "I can''t keep up with you! Ochazuke and Leo are out of sight in the blink of an eye. "Oh, they''re back." "Hey, why is Ochazuke scattering stars?" "Ugh." I stopped and looked at him. "Leo is kind of dirty." "Oh, is that what you do when you run?" "Yeah, well, I think they run a similar distance, and I''m sure Shin will get it soon. I don''t know what kind of effect it would have." "I hope it''s a pleasant one." I am sorely wishing I was just a bunch of pale, glowing fireflies or something. I''m glad it wasn''t a heart or a star, much less a cloud of dust. "Peter''s was kind of a glaring effect, but it was cool. "I want to choose the effect." Shin is puzzled. "Hey, let''s run fast!" Leo comes back, stomps his feet, and says to Shin. "No, you can''t catch up with Shin because you haven''t learned how to run. "Just run like a normal person." "And what''s with the star?" "Ugh, isn''t it nice? The effect of Chrysanthemum Princess was like a big daisy scattering. The flowers opened and scattered behind her as she ran. "It''s quite surreal to see her and Leo running side by side like this." "I wish you wouldn''t come so close." When I expressed my honest opinion, Kikuhime distanced herself from Leo. The way of running is also unique. And the effects can be produced even if you are not running. Ochazuke explains while sprinkling stars. Sunglasses with hearts on the frames would look good on me, stinky. By the way, I was made to run a few minutes ago. They said I was ordinary and boring. "Well, I''m going to try some acrobatic running. "More daring than Homura''s, please." I don''t deny that my running style is acrobatic, though it is a bit of a drag. I don''t deny that my running style is acrobatic, but it was fun for me to float. "Can you change your running style now? I heard that the running style used for a certain distance of running is adopted, rather than a stack.¡¡I got out rather quickly after the dungeon attack, and Shin should be getting out soon. "You''re getting all kinds of information as usual...the message boards are scary." "Too bad, that''s what karma told me." He registered Sir, used the transfer gate, moved to Fast, and is now running toward Secant. He is now running toward the secant. He is not activating the running method, but is running alongside it and watching Shin run. He is trying to do a half-twist, but I think it is only amusing when he does it. Eventually, he gets the running technique by repeatedly running low and moving only his legs, and the effect is pretty cool, with a little bit of a wolf-like illusion. "I like it!¡¡That''s so cool!" "Yeah, it''s the best I''ve seen." "It''s so fluffy." "You should have taken it for a back up run or something!" Ha-ha-ha! You guys must be jealous. Shin proudly accepts Ochazuke''s spitting out some kind of curse word. To be honest, I''m a little jealous of the wolf effect. "You''re a very unorganized party, aren''t you? When they all run together, it''s terrible. "The flowers of Kikuhime and the stars of Ochazuke are barely twinkling like in a shoujo manga, right? "I think Homura''s blue firefly look would be good for everyone ...... except Leo." If it matches Leo''s dust and sand effect, I''ll cry!¡¡If the effect is still there, it will look like a road littered with leaf litter, twigs, and other debris after a tornado. "So you''re mixing this with Peter''s black blurriness and rumors?" "Terrible." "It was a bad party." "I''m sure there are some clans out there that would love to have this." "Yeah, it would be spectacular to run with the same effects, both flashy and cool." "I''d love to see a pack of wolves!" I wonder if the macho heart effects on the ...... sir were taken in unison......,I just remembered!!!!¡¡d*mn! They''ve crossed the fast and entered the secant. I''ll let you know. The Goblin King field boss has been defeated solo by Akira. Oops, Akira. Can you go solo now, or did you exchange patkas with a resident adventurer like me? "Oh, I''m soloing again!" Now your name is on the list. Is it the same person as before? No, sir. You have the audacity to mention my name. Why don''t you just be a hero? Well, I''m entertained by Leo''s announcements. We''re in the same area, aren''t we? Maybe we''ll meet. I''ve been ignoring the familiar enemies in Fast, but the ones in Secan I''ve never fought, so let''s do battle!¡¡So we entered Seccan and have been hunting demons in our path ever since. This time, we have not encountered so many demons because we have taken the right road. I want to cut them down and throw them away as I pass by, but in order to improve Kikuhime''s shield skill, I have her catch them once and then defeat them. Everyone is in a one-hit-kill state, so when there are less than two enemies, I don''t attack them and try to raise their level by casting Kuroyoh. The purple clouds are trailing, the yellow moon is setting, and the white moon is shining brightly for a short while before the sun rises. It''s beautiful. "I''m hungry!¡¡Gohan-nun." "Breakfast!" Two people shouted, "We''re going to get you out of here! "Homura, I''ll pay you, just give me something to eat." "I want something warm." The other two didn''t make it. I''m sorry, but if you have any extra food, please share it with us. He spoke to me out of the blue, and I turned around to see a man with short red hair, medium height, looking like some kind of cartoon hero, somewhere between a boy and a young man, and behind him a tall man who looked like a knight!¡¡I''m a healer!¡¡There was a black-haired woman who looked like she had been a woman. The two in the back were dressed in white and looked elegant. "Oh, we''ll pay you, and we''ll give you the meat and skin of the sheep sheep we hunted when we came here. Who the hell are you? First of all, let''s say your name! "Sorry, I''m Akira!" "Oh, the announcer from earlier!" The name that came back to Leo''s question was that of the soloist. So the two guys in the back are residents of this world. "Congratulations on your victory, that''s great!" "Just give me the meat, not the skin or the gold. You don''t care what I cook? "Oh, I''m not picky!¡¡But I''d like something warm, too." Who are you two? Percival. Sorry to bother you, I''m not picky either. Shiba Inu Doril . Is that it? Galahad''s acquaintance? A knight of the Round Table. I''d ask, but no, it reminds me of my neighbor''s Shiba Inu with the same name. And I just saw a special on Shiba Inu drill on the net yesterday!¡¡Why do you have shiba-inu colored hair?¡¡Oh man, I laugh when I''m not paying attention. "This is Amy. I don''t have any preferences either. I''ll have gratin, deer stew, ruby berry tart and tea. Trying not to laugh, he handed the items to Akira for the meat. If he knew Galahad, he would have a , but I wonder if he can eat it back in the city. "Thank you!¡¡I just wanted something warm to eat when I heard your voice." He was the type who couldn''t control his desires. He seems to be an impulsive type. "Well then!" Percival uses the to make the three disappear. They could have gone back to the city after all, why don''t they just eat something warm at a restaurant? Is this a conditioned reflex? "Oh?" "You can travel at warp speed?¡¡I love it." "Oh, I''ve got a few return stones to share." I ran for Singh when I came. 49 - The Red Cross Breakfast surrounded by sheep. They are non-active, but they are monsters. "If you poke it a little, it''s a disaster..." "Ha-ha-ha-ha!" The appraisers say they are not very strong, but there are 400 or even 500 or more of them within sight. It would be impossible to deal with them if all of them attacked us. Some parties have started to move to Foss, but there are still many adventurers in Sekan and Saa. I don''t see any of them fighting, and if they are, they are probably far from the city, straggling at the edge of the herd. "Leo, don''t do this, okay?" Why are you telling me this? """" because I''m going to do it """" This is the perception of everyone but Leo. "It''s a pretty idyllic scene, though." "I heard they have cows, too, right?" "There is some kind of mixture of livestock and demons, but how do they sort them out? "Oh, these pancakes are so good." "You can put this sauce on it, too." This time it was pancakes like breakfast, with two kinds of jam and cream so that you can top them as you like. Butter and fried egg, sausage and bacon for garnish. I myself don''t like sweets with my meal, so I serve myself a loaf of bread like hotel bread. It''s fine if it''s a snack. The rest is vegetable soup and yogurt. It tastes good. And it''s great that I don''t have to clean up. Oh, I asked Leo and Shin to promise not to tell me the source of the potions and items. They are not the kind of people who break their promises, but they are also the kind of people who can''t lie, so I asked them to say the line "If you look at the consignment, you''ll find it sometimes" which is neither a lie nor the truth. I was relieved. Well, it would be fine if people around me were rational enough to know that I can make useful items, but I''ve experienced that it doesn''t work that way. I don''t like persistent strangers, but I hate the thought of not being able to work with this group. I stopped logging in at that time until the other producers caught up with me. But the outside world was still asking me to introduce them. "Oh, by the way, I heard there is a quest called where you can steal vegetables." "Vegetable Thief: ......" "What''s a Dru?" "Hey." You''re going through the statues of the gods in the temple, Leo. "You''re in the temple, Auntie Dirt God." "Shin remembers, huh? Oshazuke is horrified. "I''m still trying to solve the riddle because I want the star." "I heard that when you go inside, an old man explains to you that if you take vegetables, the field guard will chase you and take them back, but if you eat them before that, there are special offers depending on the type of vegetable. The effect depends on how far away you are from the vegetable. "Heh." "It seems they appear randomly, so there''s not much information on the vegetables you want before you meet them, but it might be a good idea to check." "Yes." While talking about useful information, everyone else''s goals for the time being, and other trivial matters, we tried to raise the level of sheep appraisal by appraising every sheep we could see. E! The meal tasted good because of the decrease in the number of sheep. It''s a good thing that my "Animal Demon Appraisal" has improved too. The sheep grazing in front of you is a demon called . But there are also flocks of sheep kept by ordinary people. When the shepherd blows his whistle, the domestic sheep go quietly back into the fence. Just as domestic sheep like to flock, demonic sheep also like to flock, and sheeple flock near or with them, as if they are part of the same flock. Demons are demons, and if provoked, they will start a train in no time, and the nearby flocks of sheeple will attack them all at once. Numbers are violence. Sheeple demons have taken the place of the walls that protect this city from other active demons. What an oddity! It is difficult to grow wheat and vegetables because the sheeple are too lazy to do so, but instead, cattle and sheep herding are thriving in the city. The town is a port town, so there is a wide variety of fish. After the town was liberated, it seems that they purchase fast wheat and sell meat and seafood instead. I got Yagyakul''s meat x5. I got Yag Yakul''s cloak. I got 10 yarns of goat''s wool. I got the ring of dexterity. Flesh . I think it was fur last time. If Circle Moth is a defensive boss, Yagyakul is a boss who deals a lot of damage with a head butt. The last time we met him, Galahad and the others beat him down before he had time to perform a head-butt. Since there is no boss to open the city in Fast, both Sekan and Sir are the first bosses that you should meet, but the field bosses are different depending on whether you go to the west or east. And now they are all equipped with . I''m a processed one though!!!! Even without Peter, we were able to defeat him without a hitch. So now we are in the guild of Sekan. We can get some kind of reward if we report the defeat of the boss to the guild in the city, though not as much as the first defeat. The bounty was 10,000 sil. I thought it was not so much because of my recent wild spending, but it is much more profitable than hunting enemies in the field. But it is much more profitable than hunting enemies in the field. Ochazuke told me that boss materials are also good for raising the level of production, and that the finished products are sold quickly when they are put on consignment. If you cook with Yagyakul''s meat, your cooking level will go up. So I bartered goat yarns and meat to Kikuhime. And I used my skill in the boss fight, so I lost E! I am eating again, because my E! The restaurant in Sekan is located facing the sea, and on a fine day, we could eat outside in the sea breeze. Vegetables are not so good, but fish and meat are plentiful. I am eating a herb-roasted fish called "surusa". It tastes like sea bass. Except for the sea bream I had in Isle, I have mostly eaten meat or river fish, so the soft white flesh of the salsa is very tasty. Grilled fish is also delicious, though. Everyone ordered fish except Shin, who loves meat. "Oh, I should have gotten a mineral analysis..." You need [mineral and metal analysis] to put magic circle into jewelry and to make jewelry. When I made jewelry with Christina, there was no problem because I explained to her about the different ranks of gemstones in a light manner. I remembered that I was going to learn how to make jewelry from the dwarves in King''s Landing, so I decided to take it since I would need ¡¾Mineral and Metal Analysis¡¿ anyway. Now that I have acquired the six types of appraisal, I can integrate them into the skill [Appraisal]. When you integrate, the levels are averaged, are they integrated? "Ugh!¡¡When I acquired the minerals, they asked me about skill integration." Yeah, you''d better merge them. "Yeah, you might want to merge them. Even if you''re down a few levels now, you''ll be able to go up in the future, no matter which one you appraise. "Oh, I see." The company agreed to the merger and became [Appraise Lv.10]. No matter how many skill points I have, it''s not enough. "Can''t I just start out with one appraisal? I''ve only got skills, weapons, and animal demons. "How could Shin live with that? I feel like there are so many different skills in this game that it''s a bit of a lost cause. "Something like a remedy for the over-creation and over-mixing of skills." But there are also people who specialize by narrowing down their skills. "Oh, Kikuhime, can you give me a thread as strong as possible?" "Only thread?¡¡So far, the Circle Moss processed viscous yarn is the only one that is strong." How much? I want a beer! "Hi-hi." Barter with beer and some snack food. Immediately, he activates the function. But the range of the string is only 5 meters. I''d like to believe that it will grow as my level goes up. The neighbor''s conversation is just a little clearer. Let''s leave it activated and raise the level. Concealment, Detect presence, and Dilute presence, to the untrained eye, just sitting there is not enough. The number of E! "Ah, come to think of it, is there such a thing?" Kikuhime takes out a cloaking formation and shows it to us. It is very fuzzy. "I bought a camp and made one with wool and one with feathers between them. "Oh, wow!¡¡A futon!" "I like it, I think I''ll get a bed." "No, we don''t need that in the tent. I thought it was a good idea, but then Shin told me. "If you have enough, I''d like two sets and a pillow. "How comfortable are you going to be sleeping?" I think there is nothing better than comfort. In the end, he sold me two sets and made me two pillows on the spot. I guess I can''t speak for others, since we all asked for pillows. "Well, what are we going to do? When the skills discussion had settled down, Leo asked me what my plans were for the future. "I think it would be better to wait for Peter or invite someone else to join us for the boss of Faina. "What about Peter tomorrow night?" "Well, I went to work this afternoon, so I''ll probably work the night shift until morning and then take tomorrow off. Maybe he''ll be there." He''ll probably come home in the morning, sleep until after noon, and then log in. It''s a very irregular job. "Well, let''s leave the coach in Juana before we go to bed today, and we''ll do it tomorrow when we''re all together - we''ll meet up again around 21:30, okay? "Okay." "Okay." "We''re going to work separately today, aren''t we? Leo''s been glued to the sea since a while ago." "I have to go sea fishing! "Let''s just see if there are any digging points in the ocean..." Although we are supposed to be working individually, we are actually all strolling down to the beach. Leo, who was leading the group, was like a child on a family vacation, peeking into the sea from the rocks, returning to where everyone else was, and peeking again, saying things like, "Where is a good tide line? Here in Sekan, the coast is basically rocky. There are many rocky areas and sometimes small sandy beaches of 10 to 20 meters. It is still too early for swimming, but when the season comes, the beach will probably be very popular as if it were a private beach. I am the type of person who enjoys observing the creatures on the rocky beach, but I can live with that because it is right next to the beach. "Oops, I found a collection point! "Oh." "<>, isn''t it? "So it''s algae salt with no seaweed?" "Bu!" "That''s a hell of a swimsuit, man." Leo put on the red boomerang. Or rather, he took off his clothes. "I caught enough for everyone. "I don''t want it!" "I don''t want it. "No thanks." "Wear them yourself and be happy." "Where did you get it?" The tea pickle that you are so interested in despite refusing to accept it. "A member of the Muscle Lovers Association told me about a fishing spot for cirque. You can catch it in a spring, and if you throw a weapon into the spring, a will come out..." Macho said that if you put on the bikini you caught and threw in your weapon, the promised genie would come out. I threw in, or rather kicked in, Leo, and out came God! Oh, and Leo was wearing a bikini! Was it because the bikini had a rating of 10, or was it because he threw the entire bikini into the fountain? Anyway, it seems that Ochazuke got yellow boomerang pants from Leo. The color choice matches the effect of the running stars. Let''s not get too close. Hermit crabs! "There''s crabs, too." Digging in the sandy beach yielded clams and clams. Enjoying the beach. And then I realized. That''s why my cooking level hasn''t improved. I used to buy and use seasonings as usual. If seaweed salt can be collected, there must be other seasonings that can be collected as well as other ingredients. It''s a trap to deal in low grade ingredients. I''ll look for seasonings at consignment shops instead of residents'' stores later. I''m not going to stop making them from things that can be obtained with skills other than gathering. "Hey, big flag man, I''ll buy some fish and you can sell them to me next time I see you." Leo began to concentrate on fishing in earnest, so I called out to him and we broke up. We returned to the city, hunting with Kikuhime and Shin for the occasional sheeple or bull-like bloop that had broken away from the herd. Ochazuke has taken up fishing skills and will be fishing for a while alongside Leo. Many of the titles have effects on the party as well, so Ochazuke''s fishing is sure to be a good one. Sheeple are sheepskin meat, sheepskin wool, sheepskin horns, and sometimes spare ribs. Bloop dropped bloop meat, bloop skin, bloop horns, and sometimes milk. "If you give me meat, I''ll return it to you as herb-roasted meat or steak..." "Oh!" I fired up Singh and he was all over it. I caught over 20 sheeple. "Hey!" "Wow." "Geeeeeeeeeeeessssssssssssss!" Shin running. Sheeple approaching with a ground-shaking sound. "Don''t come this way! Idiot. ????" "But it''s not good to go to the city!" Kikuhime''s cry stops Shin from changing direction. "I guess we should give up and die. But she''s not that strong, and she might be able to do it. "You don''t have a choice, do you?" After regaining her composure, Kikuhime sprinkles a life-enhancing drug on her shield as she readies it, and she changes her equipment. "I''ll play along with you, come on! He calls out to Shin and summons Kuroyoh. "Sorry!" Not long after Shin runs in, Sheeple''s group rushes to Kikuhime, who has used her skills. "You can''t hold them all!" He immediately releases a and a [Phantom Sword] with a specified range. The phantom blade blurs and the shadows it creates slash at the sheeple in that direction, while the black birds slash at them with their beaks or claws. Eight sheeple, whose damage exceeds the effect of Kikuhime''s skill, turn their bodies toward me. I [Sight off] seven of them, and [Flash] one of them. Oh, no. I cut down one more Sheeple coming toward me, and use of [Tree Magic] at a range centered on Kikuhime. I have to stop the Sheeple that go to Kikuhime at least a little bit before I attack. "Thank you! Thank you! Shin and Kikuhime thank me while I crush Sheeple''s attempt to use her skill. There are now six of them coming towards me, up to six that I have already experienced elsewhere. "That''s it, we didn''t panic when we thought it was just a little more than six per person, did we? "No, no?" "Numbers are violence, right?" Shin beat and kicked, I cut them down quickly, and Kikuhime activated [Shield Bash] and [Cross Slash], so it was efficient somehow. "I''m starting to think that if Shin had been given a life-enhancing drug beforehand, it would have been the best way to collect meat." I''ve got to stop being so bloody stupid. "Give me a break. I didn''t know Homura could use a sword. I''m a magical swordsman, remember? I''m a swordsman who needs to switch to gale-force boots and gloves of skill to be sure of the amount of damage I can do. Sheeple Warriors was rejected, why? Well, if the Sheeple are far from each other just after linking, I might be able to do it by myself, but it''s going to be tough because the Sheeple are clinging to each other, unlike in the case of Faina. Shin gave me some meat and Kikuhime some wool, so all''s well that ends well. I grilled the spare ribs on the spot and gave them back to Shin, but not the meat. I heard that a herd of bloopers is on the other side of town, but they don''t seem to be as dense as sheeple, so I''ll try solo hunting later. ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ Increase Skill [Tool and medicine appraisal] [Plant and food appraisal Animal Demon Appraisal] [Skill Appraisal Weapons and Armor Appraisal] [Mineral and Metal Appraisal ¡ú ¡¾Appraisal ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ Homura Lv.32 Rank C Occupation Mage Swordsman, Pharmacist (Assassin) H!?¡¡¡¡ 1057 M!?¡¡¡¡1335 STR 44 VIT 24 INT 71 MID 20 DEX 26 AGI 45 LUK 25 N!?C!?¡¡[Galahad] [-].

I realized halfway through that it was quicker to cut them down than to cut down the last one. I felt like I had to avoid them when they came in a group, but I hit them with [Isshin], aiming at their weak points. The [Sightseeing] is used not only to avoid being attacked, but also to make it easier to attack the weak points. He parries the onrushing bloop and runs sideways with all his might, striking it in the neck, leaving it exposed and unprotected. If several bloops come at the same time and there is no time to attack, you can continue to use [Sight-off] as you did with Sheeple. Since you are fighting in the middle of the herd, you will naturally be rushed not only from the front but also from the back. At first I was fighting at the edge, but as I kept dodging and slashing, before I knew it, I was in the middle of the crowd. I have to keep moving or I will be surrounded immediately, so I am running and fighting instead of staying in one place. I wonder how I should end the battle ....... I think now that I have no choice but to run through to the plain where there are no bloopers. I think now that I will just have to run to the plains where there are no bloopers. I thought it was an announcement of skill acquisition, but then something unusual came. Loin, rump, fillet, rose, etc... When I was a deer, I could only get loin, but now I can get various parts, and is no longer dropped instead. I wonder what kind of meat used to drop at ....... Does Sheeple also drop various parts now?¡¡But I don''t know what to do with it except cook the mutton, so I''ll do that later. I thought that 500 consecutive is the standard for announcements to come, but I guess not. I guess that''s because it''s a separate category from skills. I guess it''s natural to want to get all the parts in a reasonable number. After killing 500 edible enemies in a row, the drop parts have been released. Here we go again!¡¡but is it the same thing? ...... now drops offal. Fortunately, the rate of dropping meat is not so high. I can''t think of anything but stewed motsu when they drop. After collecting all the meat, we run to the plain where there is neither a herd of bloopers nor a single person in sight. We still managed to defeat the bloopers that followed us and finished. It is exactly three o''clock, time for tea. < and move to the shade of a tree. The herd of bloopers in the distance doesn''t seem to be excitedly targeting us anymore, but just in case they were the ones we were fighting earlier. While sipping tea and munching on sandwiches, I get a text message from Luba. Apparently, the sword is ready and he wants me to pick it up at a convenient time. While I was reading the mail, Galahad also sent a message, asking if we could get together for a banquet this evening if it was convenient. He asked us to have a party at Luba''s house, I understand. I reply to Luba and Galahad that I will bring food and drinks for each of them, and I get another e-mail. I wonder if they come all at once. This is Leo and Ochazuke asking for fish.¡¡It was an email from a friend of mine. I replied that I would be right there, packed the leftover sandwich and poured myself a cup of tea. "Oh, come here, come here!" Leo called me to his table. "Did you catch a lot?" "Great catch, great catch." "I don''t know what the market is for fish?" "Just grill it and put half of it back." "No, you have to pay in cash, otherwise the clan won''t be able to save enough money. Leo is stopped by Ochazuke. You have trouble putting a price on it, I have trouble too. Surusa, koganeji, rush sea bass, yami-surume, rolled sea eel, aoba bonito, horse mackerel, sea bass, surume...... only named after real world fish are fish that can be caught without using fishing skills. Fish that can only be caught with skill, and fish with fluctuating ingredient ranks are said to be fish with unfamiliar names or fish with funny words in front of their names. I thought ...... aoba bonito was a normal ingredient, but it was a rank 8 ingredient, so you can never be too careful. Rank 8 is the same as the meat from the boss, so why are there so many?¡¡Oh, because it''s Leo? "So?¡¡How much is that?" "I''m thinking 40,000 for me and 50,000 for Leo because of the quantity. The price of bonito is a mystery and it''s a bowl. Well, instead of the usual?¡¡The fish are worth a couple of bucks, so take some as a freebie." It was a big catch, and they were both biting hard. Leo''s price is higher than Ochazuke''s because he caught more fish of a higher food grade than Ochazuke. And aoba bonito is not so easy to catch after all. We got enough just horse mackerels to keep us going for some fried horse mackerels for a while. I''ll use < before I put them away. Pants! "Wahahaha! I put an 8 rating on the service!" You... I let my guard down and was handed a pair of bikini pants along with a fish. And they were bright red. Curse you! "Fish?" "Fish?" "Fish?" "Fish?" "Fish?" "Fish?" ?" "What''s with you all of a sudden?" "No, meat is served in parts or in meat blocks." "Ah!¡¡Come to think of it." I also processed salmon when I was given it. "Why is that?" "First of all, the developer likes fishing, so when he speaks of fish, he means whole fish. Second, the developer likes to cook fish, so he takes the fish down himself. You can choose whichever you like." "One, two combined!" Leo answers cheerfully. Yeah, I have a feeling about that, too. "By the way, I was looking at the discussion board while I was waiting, and I heard that some idiot started a cattle train here, so be careful not to get involved..." "That''s scary. Did you take him into town?" "No, I heard that you led them to an empty plain. "Good, good, good." We part ways with the two fishermen who are going to fish some more, and return to the fast. Ochazuke was grumbling that he would have been able to fish while working from home if he hadn''t been in full-dive VR. The level of [Thread] is now 6. At level 5, the length of the string is 10 meters. The whitish translucent thread blends in well with its surroundings. I wonder if I should prepare black painted ones for the night. When I left the room with the transfer gate, I met Ekaterina. "Oh my goodness, here they are, a million sil ......, no, your sisters and brother want to meet the one who helped you." He called to me with all kinds of uneasiness. "I''m not going to come forward." "They''re not stupid, they''re good kids. If you start preparing them now, they''ll be useful in assisting you in your adventures and in preparing you for them. "I''m not in any particular trouble, so I don''t need an assistant. Teach him arithmetic or something, or give him a job instead of going on adventures. Let them eat." It was going to be a long story, so I''ll leave you alone with your bloop of , no questions asked. At first I was going to push horse mackerel, but I decided not to do that for the sake of the picture. I felt like a waitress carrying a ten-tiered table in a comic book. I felt a little pain from the eyes of adventurers (players) coming in and out of the gate, but it''s OK, since Ekaterina doesn''t seem to be chasing after me. The meat is quite heavy, but I am surprised that you can hold it, and I change my perception of Ekaterina a little. Well, the fish and meat are weighing down my belongings, so I have to produce and organize them for the banquet. But first, let''s log out, take a break, and find out how to make dried bonito flakes. My bonito broth. I guess I''ll have to go somewhere colder for kelp broth. Before I log in again and go to the production facility, I stop by the commercial guild to deliver wine, beer, and whisky, and see how the consignment sales are going. Some of the dishes are left except for those rated 10. The same pricing but with more E! The ones that are more efficient in recovery and less depleted (more durable) are sold out. Let''s enjoy eating more!¡¡I replenish my stock with the thought, "I''ll be back soon. In fact, recipes that are easy to obtain except for those with a rating of 10 are often exhibited, so there is no choice. Meat is easy to obtain along with other production materials, and although my main production is blacksmithing, I also do some simple cooking!¡¡I guess there are a lot of people who are like that. If you are dexterous, you can get a high evaluation like I did. The comment section was filled with sweets and sweets and sweets, but I won''t go into that. I also received a soliciting comment from Black Lily with emoticons. I''ll offer bloop skins at a price a little lower than the average. I was thinking, "I''ll just put it on the market," but as soon as I put it out, it was bought. I''m going to use them to deliver to the guild. It seems that there is a group of people who use a lot of skins to raise their production level. I put the rest in the empty slot at the same price, and do my own shopping this time. First of all, I look for seasonings as I have done in the past. There are several kinds of salt, including algae salt and rock salt from the cirfoles. The lowest-priced ones appear and disappear as soon as they are bought, so I stock up on the cheapest ones I can find. There are also various kinds of wheat, such as fast brim wheat, black wheat, upright wheat, etc. I wonder where they come from. I wonder where they get it from. I always drive on the roadless roads, so it might be growing along the roads. Maybe I should take a walk along the road next time. Today''s banquet menu will be fried horse mackerel and bonito tataki, fish and chips, pizza, bacon wrapped asparagus, caprese with tomatoes and mozzarella-like cheese, and so on. Do you have basil? ...... sells curry bread! I bought it without a second thought. Who developed the curry recipe?¡¡Do you have any spices? I searched and bought every spice I could find that looked like it, and since they were of normal rank, they seemed to be traded goods from some city that were being resold as is. I hope to find out where they sell them someday. I wonder if I can find it at my grandfather''s place. I noticed that they even sell mayonnaise, although it is easier to get the ingredients for this one. The insatiable pursuit of food...that''s the Japanese!¡¡Sorry to say that this is a side job of other production. It seems that the production workers can make production tools, and I found a frying pan and a skillet of a higher rank than I have now, so I bought them. Cooking tools can fit in an item pouch, so you don''t have to worry about the number of tools. I also bought a knife and a willow blade knife!¡¡With this, I''m going to slice every fish into three pieces. There is an indication of attack power on the knife, but it means it is sharp, right? I bought a lot of materials for alchemy and ingredients for active medicines, and I''m still in the black thanks to the active medicines and the 10 rated dishes. I''m still at the age where I can raise my skill level by cooking and alchemy, and if I can make a surplus in production while I''m leveling up, it''s pretty good. So, I want some fried chicken meat, so I''ll buy some meat from a rampaging chicken. After that, we go to the production facility to cook, prepare medicines, and smelt, and collect the proceeds from the sale of the items we just put on the market. In the empty consignment space, I put the sold-out resistance medicine, life and magic potions, and return stones. I put the highest price I could put on them without giving them a rating of 10, but they sold like hotcakes. I have put a limit on the number of items that can be purchased, but they sell out quickly, probably because many adventurers have moved to the second floor, Sir, or Hoth in this short period of time. Some of the comments from a while ago said that they are too expensive to buy many, but they are taking them to the boss battles!¡¡But now, there were comments like, "I''m not sure. I was just thinking that people are getting more comfortable with their pocketbooks when suddenly I noticed it. I donated too much to Yekaterina at first. I gave out the assassination fee as it was since two people were entrusted to her, but at that point, that amount of money could only be earned by adventurers or producers at the top, or even at the top, I doubt it. It is still the time to invest in facilities and equipment. Usually, even if they have extra income, they put most of it into improving their own abilities. So they are on your radar and are contacting you all the time! The fact that Yekaterina has money is known. Next time I''ll cheat with fried horse mackerel and sea bass meuniere. 51 - The New Sword "We''ve been waiting for you." He meets up with Galahad and others and visits Luba''s home and workshop. He is greeted with words of thanks for his long wait, and is shown a sword of exceptional value. "Thank you, old man!¡¡I appreciate it!" "Thank you very much. The two of them are receiving the gift with big smiles on their faces. "Only my sword has different characteristics. Galahad''s broad, thick sword, Eagle''s one- or two-handed sword. And the gracefully curved sword that was given to me. "You are not going to defeat Ferdowsi with a sword, are you?¡¡Instead of the ability to slay illusionary systems, I drew on other abilities that are more versatile." So, Ferphasi is an illusionary creature. I had imagined wraiths and ghosts from the story that physics is not understood. Production . Ruba Spirizo, Divine Master R a n k . 65 Rating: 10 Offensive . 659 Durability : 100/100 [Indestructible]. Attachments . [Attack Power Increased] [DEX Increased] [DEX Increased Blessing of the Spirit of Darkness Material characteristics: [Equipment rank restriction removed] [Non-transferable Slaying Mental Attacks] [Slaying Magic Zanmagic Growth] A sword struck with a moonlight stone. Sword for Homura struck by Ruba the Divine Master. The sword skill is increased by 1.1 times due to the effect of rating 10. By the way, the sword that Luba gave me is Rank 22 and has 229 attack power. The highest rank of the weapon I have seen in the commission is Rank 30, attack power around 300. Considering the fact that until a short while ago, when Luba gave me my first sword, it had an attack power of around 100 at best, it is amazing how far production workers have come. The equipment ranks are as follows: up to Rank 5, any job can be equipped with a weapon with no level limitation, up to Rank 9, no level limitation if it has appropriate skills and if either the main or sub is an appropriate job, and then Rank 10 for Level 10, Rank 11 for 11, and so on. If you have only appropriate skills, you are restricted to equip at Rank 19. I can equip only up to Rank 32. No, you can equip it, but your ability will be greatly reduced, and if it is too bad, you will suffer from reflex damage. There are various ways to remove the equipment rank limitation. Swords of Galahad and Eagle have <<> in their material properties. Naturally, they do not have the equipment rank limit removal, but instead they have <>, which means that the closer to the full moon, the higher the ability of the sword is. As for my <>, it resets after a break, but its attack power increases with the number of demons you slay, an effect suitable for long-term battles. Thankfully, does not decrease the base value, and the damage value may decrease and the sharpness may decrease, but it will not be broken and lost. Since it has a much higher rank than the enemies in this area, the damage value should not decrease as much. 100/100, damage value/foundation value. Oh, I have to raise the level of [Concealment]. "Honestly, I don''t think I deserve it, but thank you." It was a sword for me, after all, and Luba laughed in satisfaction when I accepted it without reservation. Then there was a banquet. I was expecting to start here with a desk, but instead I was led to a room in the back with a carpeted sofa and a low table. "There''s a guy who rolls on the floor every time." "Ha ha!¡¡Moderate your drinking, Eagle." You. A single elbow to the tail. He sets the food on the table with a sideways glance. Fried chicken, fish and chips, squid rings. Aoba bonito tataki, fried horse mackerel, horse mackerel sashimi (no wasabi, so ginger), caprese, pizza, roast beef, tails soup. "Wow!" "There''s plenty more where that came from, so you''ll have plenty to eat." Chilled black beer, whiskey, and sake. "Luba, I don''t know if this will suit your palate, but drink it for the sword." The other sake is placed on the table and the sake is handed to Luba. The sake was handed to Ruba. By the way, Junmai Daiginjo (Nama) was made with a rating of 10. Does "nama" mean "freshly made"?¡¡I don''t know about sake. There seems to be a dry and a sweet, but when I drink it by myself, both are sake!¡¡I''ll look into the differences in production methods after ....... For when I get rice again. The one I have now is no good because I make it into rice. I thought that "hi-shu" meant spirits with high alcohol content such as vodka, brandy, shochu, etc., since they burn when lit on fire, but they made a beer with high alcohol content and named it <>. No, it looks flammable too, so I guess it''s right to call it fire wine. "Oh, this is also ......" "What the hell is that?¡¡Is that alcohol, too?" Ruba pours it for Galahad, who shows interest. "Clear?¡¡I''ve never had a drink like that before." "Oh, me too." Camilla and Eagle also tasted the wine. "What is it, melon?¡¡Peaches?¡¡The aroma is so fruity." I like this one better. "You''re thanking Luba, don''t be shy." "No problem, I like this one better." It turns out that Luba prefers sake, Galahad fire sake, Eagle cold black beer, and Camilla wine. I wonder if Galahad is okay with being a weaker drinker than Luba. "Homura gave me good food and drink, and Ruba worked hard to raise the level of the spirits and give them grants, so as long as I don''t screw up too badly, I''m sure I''ll be able to get down from Ferphasi, so I''ll dive into the labyrinth with all my might starting tomorrow. ???? < "Well, it''s dinner time, and I don''t drink, so I guess I''ll eat. While the three of us were getting into a lively discussion about sake, I started to take out a beef bowl £¡£¡£¡£¡ The rice, soy sauce, and Junmai Daiginjo sake transformed the ribs we got today into something wonderful. "Homura, what is it?" It''s my dinner. "Homura, what kind of food is this?" "...... is a beef bowl." Galahad asked me, Camilla sat down snugly beside me and leaned with her hand on my elbow, and Eagle asked me with a fresh smile. Luba watches, smiling. I''d like to tell Camilla that my breasts are hitting her, but she says, "I''m just guessing," or "I''m doing it on purpose," or "Really?" I can''t say it, because I might get a response like, "I don''t know, I''m not sure. d*mn, gaijin! Why didn''t he just nibble on the bread like a grown-up! Soon my beef bowl disappeared into the bellies of the four of them. Now I''m cheating Galahad, who wants more, with sukiyaki. I''m also worried about the amount of sake we''re cooking with, but shouldn''t we have some white wine instead? We ended up having yakiniku because we had to fight for the meat. The bonito tataki was a hit with Luba, and the horse mackerel sashimi was a hit with Camilla and Eagle, much to Galahad''s dismay. Galahad said, "I don''t mind roasted pork, but I''m afraid of the eyes of fish! I heard. The big man was making a lot of noise and looking away. Next time, I''ll make sashimi and kanamero. We''ll throw in a pork cutlet when we get a pig. With this thought in mind, I put the pizza in my mouth. I can''t wait to use the rice freely, I wonder if Fuso has glutinous rice. "Homura, is it hard to get rice?" I''ve never seen anything like it. "Yes, I was lucky enough to get a small amount in the magical city of Isle, but I heard that it originally came from a country called Fusou, which has a small trade. I''ve never heard of Fuso. "It''s an island nation, and I hear it''s in the middle of nowhere. "Oh, so now you can move from one country to another?" "Yeah, thanks to you, I''m ranked C." That''s right, Ruba gave me the sword and the three of them took me to the boss so I could get to C rank as fast as possible. If it weren''t for the four of you, I still wouldn''t have left the country, and I wouldn''t have gotten the rice. He reflects on the situation and gently offers them curry. Yes, some kind of drunken curry fight has started. Yes, curry is a drink, but a plate of curry is terrible. I''m currently eating a lot of leftover curry in the real world, so I''m not as obsessed with it as I am with beef bowls, although I''ve tried. But I won''t add more with the attitude that I can''t serve it because there''s no rice!¡¡Oh, I realize that I should have made curry udon noodles, remembering today''s real dinner menu. Galahad rolls on the carpet as planned, Eagle and Camilla are breathing on his shoulder and Luba is smiling at him for having done something stupid. "Speaking of which, do you know where the Starry Hills or the Sea Serpent comes out?" "Oh, you have a crush on him?" A drunken Camilla hugs me. Your hem is a mess, as are your breasts! "Unrequited love?" "<> is a date spot where if you go with someone you like and see a meteor, you can become lovers." "...... That would make us lovers when you invite me to come along, wouldn''t it?" I promise I won''t tell you that. "I don''t have a boyfriend right now, but where is the place?" "Well, I''ll take Homura with me. The place is about two kilometers east-southeast of the magical city of Isle. It''s the only place on that side of the island where there''s an open forest, so you should be able to find it easily. Hmm." "The Sea Serpent is at the southwestern tip of Fagat, maybe in a cove there. I wouldn''t recommend that one." "Is it strong?" "Their attack power is not so high, but their defense is. Neither magic nor physical attacks do much good, and the usual drops are not good either. You don''t get much for your effort. If there are too many of them, the fagat octopus will be eaten up and attack fishermen, so once a year, the guild sends out a request to take them down. Defeating the Sea Serpent is one of the conditions for promotion from C to B rank, and many adventurers participate in this event every year. If the number of sea serpents is larger than usual, B-rank adventurers are encouraged to participate, and sometimes the country asks A-rank adventurers to join. You can refuse, but if you refuse too much without a good reason, your rank will be dropped. I think I will stay at rank C for a while, it seems like too much trouble. Okay, thank you. If they are not too aggressive, be prepared to fight for a long time, and if you are steady, you will be able to beat them someday. It seems that I can manage to get the ingredients for the alchemy recipe that Tascha taught me to prevent possession, except for purification. Well, I''m not sure if this is really a flag of the event, but one can never be too prepared. I would like to give out possession-preventing items at least to residents who exchanged their partner cards (Patoka). Oh, and I need to work on my accessory production skills. "By the way, Ruba, are you sure about the money? "Oh, don''t worry, I''ve already taken money from these three. I''m just wondering if you''ve developed any new techniques for using silver while you''ve been out of the blacksmithing business. I use a little bit of it as a solvent, and if you find any silver along the way, sell it to me." That''s it, I think silver is just the material used for leveling up production workers (players). I''m sorry, but we started leveling up almost all at the same time, so we have to make things at the same time. "Oh, speaking of silver..." I was going to terrorize the furniture, but now that I''ve received a priceless sword, I''ll present it to Luba. I take out the silver statue of Leo from the item pouch. "Melt it down and use it." "Boom!" Galahad sees the shiny silver statue of Leo in a pose and bursts out laughing. "Homura?" "What kind of taste do you have?" "No, it was never my taste! He kicked Leo into the fountain and told him about his encounter with the goddess of the fountain. "Hey, did you meet Falu too?" "Is God really that delightful?¡¡That''s not the God I know." I''m confused too, because it''s not what I expected. "Awww, a statue in bikini shorts!" Galahad has become a laughingstock. Meanwhile, Luba is looking at the statue with a difficult expression on his face. Are you interested in Leo''s nudity? "This is no ordinary silver." "Yes?" "It''s a rare and expensive metal called "<>. I''ve never seen such a large amount of it. "Uh, ......." You made this out of such a rare metal, that unfortunate goddess. A gift from the goddess? Eagle looks puzzled, and Galahad keeps laughing, whether he is listening or not. "Perhaps the golden one is <," he says. "I can''t see this statue as godly,......, if you ask me." I think it''s more normal if you can''t see it. I didn''t appraise this statue, but when I look at it, I can see sacred vessels and letters." It says something like "It can be cast and melted for use as a weapon, but cannot be melted in an ordinary furnace. The silver one is used for weapons and the gold one for armor. Luba strokes Leo''s shoulder with a serious expression. If I had not been told that it was a precious metal, I would have suspected a perversion. He quietly texts Leo that golden Leo is a precious metal suitable for making armor. I remember that he has worked with moonlight stone, and Leo is likely to have the title of ignoring the rank of material in production. "Please pay me for the sword." "You''re getting too much." But if I had it, it would still be the statue. He responds with a shrug. You keep your eyes on the silver Leo the whole time, and you want to process it, don''t you? "I don''t know anyone else who could do it. Feel free to take it." We bid farewell to Galahad and the others, who are still feasting, and to Luba, who asks us to stay the night, and head for the inn. I''m going to sleep for real from now on, and if I stay the night, I''ll be lying around for a few days. It''s almost midnight here and there, so I''ll get up early and log in. Tomorrow is the end of my vacation. Have fun. 52 - The Shipping State Fagat I wake up early and am sleepy. I try to eat breakfast, but my mind is not working, so I drink tea while biting into a pickled red turnip. In the game there is a lot of black tea, so here it is green tea. When I finish a cup of tea, I finally wake up, prepare a simple breakfast, finish eating, wash my face, and get ready for the day. Well, it''s going to be a long day. I stop by the guild to collect the consignment sales and put them on display. Come to think of it, the sake that I sell wholesale to the guild is three times the price of the consignment sales if it has a rating of 10, and the sake that I have sold wholesale to the guild is priced at a level where the consignment fee is not taken away. I was going to avoid meat dishes that are likely to be covered, but now that I have the parts!¡¡Dishes other than the usual loin or other parts of the loin are on display. A small amount of pre-cooked meat will also be on display. And a lot of snacks, I dare not put a limit on the number of items you can buy. Chemicals with a rating of 7 or 8 can be sold for the highest price at this rating, so it would be better to put a rating of 9 or 10 only when someone starts making something similar. With this thought in mind, I put the item up for sale, slightly blackened with money-making. I''m afraid that I''ll get complaints from people who deal with the same product if I offer a rating of 10 at this price. I know that I can make money by packing <> and <>, <> and alcoholic beverages at 99, but I feel like selling some of the dishes I have made. I think that I can get more money if I sell them at a stall instead of on consignment. I look at the accessories to see what kind of effects they have. I need to increase the level of alchemy to increase the number of items I can synthesize, but if I''m going to produce something, I want to make something I can sell. I''m going to go poke at Fagat''s sea serpent, and if I don''t find any good equipment, I''ll stop by the stall and buy something on consignment. We arrive at Fagat, thinking that the cost of transportation will be quite painful. It seems that the main deity here is the goddess Faru, judging from the arrangement of the statues. The temple is brightly lit by sunlight, but I buy a candle from a candle shop and put it at my feet. I offer a candle to Phal and freeze, thinking that there are not many candles near the statues of gods other than Phal. There are many candles with names written on them. A curse? Is it a curse? After finishing the offering to each statue, I bought a candle ...... and returned to the place where I received the candle in exchange for an offering and found a sign. . The temple is a place to collect offerings in every way possible. Better to wear boomerang pants than candles. I leave the temple, which is a bit of a horror story, thinking that Phar, the god of water, is also the god of love and hunting. I heard that Misuzi, the double-sworded knight I trained with before coming to Fagat, was a dancer who dedicated sword dances to the temple until she was ten years old. He used to disturb them by waving his twin swords. They are slow and steady, disrupting our pace. And acrobatic. The basis of their movements is a circle. They seem to be dancing, but if it is a dance, it is quite passionate. So I asked Misuzi who came by during tea time after training, which had become a pattern, about it. "I used to be a dancer for the sword dedication in the temple. He said. They used to perform a dance with twin swords in the temple to the god of war, Asha, the god of fire, every time they performed a Shinto ritual. His current problem is that the swords he wields have no weight and are not very decisive. It is true that he is fast and skillful, but he does not feel the weight of a single blow to cut through bone, and when the time comes, he seems to be able to push with force by letting the sword cut through flesh and sever the bone. There is only one more day of training left. Remembering what had happened at the Fast, we headed for the Adventurers'' Guild while eating and shopping. I need a map of where the Sea Serpent is said to haunt. Yes, the navaigai (shellfish) skewers are delicious. Fagat is a shipping country, trading with Giaas and the neighboring Isle. From Ziath you can get dwarven weapons and crafts, from the Isle magic stones and sometimes elven musical instruments of great elegance. The country borders on the north-northwest of the Isle and stretches long and narrow from east to west, like a long and narrow protrusion from the continent. It is located to the north of Zias, and when the weather is fine and the air is clear, the capital Faina can be seen on the other side of the sea. When you arrive at the guild, you are asked where the Sea Serpent appears. I was told that I was free to make copies of the documents in the archive. The receptionist, who welcomed me with the most over gestures I have ever seen, seemed to be the most unassuming and uninterested in doing his job. I went to the reference room quietly, since I was dressed so generously that half of my breast was visible. I heard a conversation from the next receptionist that sounded like an order for a date instead of an order for an adventure. Oh, and don''t worry, my chest is a man''s chest. The female staff members were also dressed in swimsuits and jackets. At any rate, I was not so interested in what I could see from the beginning. The staff in charge of the reference room welcomed me with open arms and told me to look around freely, and gave me a piece of paper and a pen and started to take a nap. Is it okay to pay for the paper? I really want to see Fast Al now. I scavenge the places he tells me to go and copy a map from a book called . After copying the map, I look through the text to write down the information. The main cities of the country are the capital Navai Grande, Dromil, Canal and Lakonos Island. In addition to the mainland, there are many islands of various sizes, including Lakonos. The people are laid-back, perhaps because of the mild climate with little rainfall all year round. The capital Navai Grande is famous for its shellfish cuisine. The white-walled houses line the streets because the walls are painted with plaster made from lime from baked seashells. It seems that shellfish is the staple food in this country. That''s a bit biased, isn''t it? There is one dungeon in Lakonos. Be careful of pirates in the waters near the dungeon. Canal is the town of oranges and olives. Sea serpents tend to herd in the cove near the village a little north of Dromil. The village of Dalus, located at the northern end of the Narn Mountains, is a small village, but its pigs, called Dalus pigs, are hard to find but tasty. <. I must go to Dalus village to get meat. I found some information about elves and dwarves, though not about the country. Elves are skilled in woodworking and leatherworking and do not like to leave their native forests. Dwarves are skilled in metal and gemstone work and have strong feelings for their people back home, but they travel around and put down roots as an apprentice. Elves and dwarves do not have a close relationship. Thanks to the adventurers (players), both elves and dwarves can be seen in Gearth. No, dwarves are scarce. Here in Navai Grande, there are a few dwarves who live and work mainly as lapidaries. It seems that this is because gemstones are more available in Navai Grande than in Diaz. Even so, the climate of Fagat seems to be difficult for the dwarves to live in, and there are only a few of them. That''s why I''m currently learning lapidary. I am visiting the workshop of Mr. Garganos, who is not very sociable, but has a first-rate skill, and who has not come out of the basement of his workshop because it is too hot. Socializing? I caught him with a bottle of sake, and he took a hit. Garganos showed me his work, and his craftsmanship is superb. He has a sturdy-looking body and stocky hands. His fingers produce delicate work. Chains that could be thinner than the hairs on Garganos'' hands, the natural harmony of gems and metal. Dwarves, are a very deep thing. I was allowed to make ear cuffs and rings to be worn on the edge of the ear. The ear cufflinks were recommended to me when I asked for "something that men, including craftsmen, can leave on and off, and something unique as an adventurer''s accessory". I thought that if I had ten rings, there would be room in my equipment for something else. In fact, I was later told that the rings must be worn on all fingers except the ring finger and thumb for them to be effective. I heard that the ring finger is a special finger for marriage, engagement, and rings with family crests to indicate the head of the family. I don''t know if there is any reason to take up the production of accessories for the production of amulets to prevent possession, so I''m going for small and easy-to-wear items. "I''m sorry, the effect is minimal, but can you let me make it out of magic stone?" If I''m going to make something, I''m the one who expects a [good at] correction. "What?¡¡If you don''t mind if it''s not very effective, you don''t seem to want to use expensive materials." "It''s like a good luck charm." "Oh, if it''s a jinx, so be it." The dwarf, who was happy with his fire wine, prepared two small magic stones, one silver and the other pale pale blue. "A man I do business with left them behind when he left other stones for me, because they are beautiful in color, though they fail to grant. They''re free, so do what you want with them." "Thank you." I looked at it and it had a rating of 2, which means "I feel a little better ......." If it was made by a resident, it has a rating of 2, and he must be a person with batu skills. I have not met him yet, but he has the skill that even if his skill improves, or rather, the more his skill improves, the more he fails. A skill that Kikuhime mentioned in real life as being attached to Leo''s cooking. I am already embarrassed by the difference from Garganos in the process of working. It is a trap that accessories require a sense of design and not only dexterity. Garganos gave me detailed instructions, even while he was drinking, such as to lay the piece at an angle and chisel it a little more, and I was making it while looking at an easy-looking piece as a sample. "Well, it''s quite a nice piece," he said. "Thank you." Garganos complimented me on my work, which was disastrous, but I was one step closer to my goal. No, it''s wrong to compare my work with that of Garganos, who is an expert. Maybe. Since I haven''t done any fighting, I haven''t been able to make any accessories yet, but I have been given a set of the minimum tools necessary to make them. Garganos gave me some of the tools that he had tried to use but had thrown away because they did not fit in his hands, and he found them easy to use. He seemed to have enough money, so I offered him a barrel of sake when we parted. I was happy to have accomplished my goal and to be able to see his wonderful works of art. It was a little too bright outside because of the darkness in the "cave" of Garganos. The walls of this city are basically painted with white lime plaster obtained from shells, although this is not the case in the craftsmen''s quarter. The reflection of the sun''s rays stings my eyes. I head out of town for Doromir for now. Local specialties?¡¡I bought some shellfish and olives without missing a beat. I wonder if the olive oil that was also available in Dias was imported from this country, as it seems to be a better, less oxidized oil. When I asked this question to the old man of the wholesale shop in the isle, he told me that ordinary residents usually keep olive oil in their item pouches, and that it is rare that there is no time lapse. He told me that it is a gift that [Gentiles] have. The ability that time does not elapse in the item pouch or the warehouse. Ability to be pulled back to the temple just before death Skills are easily manifested. In return, sometimes the soul is pulled back to the original world, and the person may be out of action for a few days. The inhabitants of this world seem to have the above perceptions of the player. Also, when the number of demons increases, Gentiles who defeat them often appear, so they are recognized, and Gentiles who get rid of many demons seem to be good neighbors. However, whether adventurers, including resident adventurers, are welcomed or not depends on each other''s personal qualities, since adventurers have a negative image that they do not stay in one place, are not rooted in the local economy, do not listen to others, and are violent. The killing of sea serpents is used as a way to build trust with the non-adventurer residents. One of the conditions to raise your adventurer rank to B is <50 sea serpents killed>, and you must complete either this request or 500 requests in the town (including villages). By the way, when you reach rank B, your card will show <<<>. The condition must be either or . In the meantime, it seems to be profitable to be an adventurer (player) or a carrier. Running for Doromir. The only enemy that stands in your way is Luba''s <. According to the guild, the enemies on the mainland of this country are not so strong, but those on the islands and in the sea seem to be troublesome. I thought it would be impossible if the sea serpent was a dragon, although there is a word of eagle, but it was a sea serpent demon, so I came here to challenge it. The skill that came out of the battle was ¡¾Jewelry¡¿. I want to get it right away, but I don''t have enough skill points. If I can gather enough materials, I can make <<> by alchemy and make it into an accessory by acquiring ¡¾Jewelry¡¿. I wonder what to do with the < (sacred artifact) given to me by Tasya. I don''t have the courage to make it into an accessory. But first, I need some skill points. The climate is dry, and there are olive groves and wheat fields. It''s hot, but so far it''s pleasantly hot. I''m thinking what if I have to kill a boss again to get into town for a bit. Then I think to myself that I can just go straight to the village. No, let''s rather go straight to the village off the road. Thank goodness you have a map, you turn off the road and start running along the shortest route. I want a cavalryman. The good thing about my running method is that I don''t have to worry about the difference in elevation because I have << levitation>> (I also use magic << levitation>> to level up). If I want to run, I can go on the roof in the city. Ignoring the considerable difference in elevation, I came to a flat area where I could see a reddish color among the greenery. I turned off the road I had been running in a straight line and approached it. I had thought that tomatoes are supposed to grow upwards like a tree on a pole, but here tomatoes are just crawling on the ground. My image of a tomato field and the tomatoes in front of me are at war in my mind. Long, bushy tomatoes like Italian tomatoes lie on the ground like bunches of grapes. Is this how tomato fields are done abroad, unlike in Japan? "Don''t you want to take it?" As I stood still for a moment, he spoke to me. 53 - The Rules of the Field I turned around and before I knew it, a stout, tanned old man was standing there. He was wearing work clothes and boots, a towel draped over his shoulders, and his fingertips were stained with dirt. "No, it looks like a field, even if it grows wild. The evidence is thin and eroded by green leaves, but if you look carefully, you can see the ground and know that they are planted in straight rows. Ripe red tomatoes, their skins almost ready to be torn off, glisten in the sunlight. I have some bacon and pasta, which would be great to make spaghetti with tomatoes. In the back, you can see what looks like a cabbage field. It is so huge that you can recognize it as cabbage at this distance. And there''s a sweet, aromatic, and very nice smell wafting in the air, peaches, perhaps. I''m suddenly thirsty. Oh no, I want to find the source of the smell and bite into it. "It looks so good, I''d like to eat it, but..." "Hmm?¡¡You don''t know where you are, and you''re lost. "What?" "This is , and if you take vegetables from the field and eat them, various benefits will appear depending on the type of vegetable. You have only one chance to take it, and the further you step away from the field and eat it, the greater the benefit. However, you will be chased by Dulu''s field guards. By stepping on the ground, you mean that transfer magic is not allowed and that we should run away. The old man looked in his direction and saw something white and wandering. It was a huge white snake. No, it had two pairs of wings. "It''s a kind of ancient dragon. It''s fast and its soul is contained in the realm of the gods. It will come after you when it realizes you''ve picked off your vegetables. So this is where Ochazuke was talking about . We met him before we had even checked out the vegetable perks. "I''d like to have them instead of stealing them. If you pick them, the dragon won''t come after you, will he?¡¡Dru." "Oh, you notice." The old man with the amused smile sometimes looks younger than one expects because of his expression of curiosity. But Dur, the god of the earth, should be able to assume other forms at will. In fact, all the statues of the god in the temple have the appearance of an old woman. The gods can change their appearance at will, just as they have a preferred form. "But these are the rules of an old game. You can''t give blessings without taking part in the game. "Well, I promise to eat here, so will you let me cook?" "Cooking?¡¡Eating here won''t do you much good." I''m craving tomato spaghetti because of all these tomatoes. "Hmm, you served Val and Tascha as well, didn''t you? Hey, Gods Network, why is the information about the dinner being passed around like it was with the Goddess of Shame? I''m sorry. I''m sorry... but I can''t cook because I''m stuck on the ingredient rank." Unintentionally polite. It was a level I had never seen before in an appraisal. Or rather, it was invisible. I wanted to eat. Bummer. "Just cook it. You can handle vegetables." Dru has done something. Did he temporarily raise the rank of handling?¡¡I hope it''s permanent. "Aah!¡¡Don''t use those vegetables!" With permission, I bit into a tomato and confirmed that it was a sweet tomato with a slightly sour taste. Delicious. Oh man, I drooled when I thought of the taste of pasta made with them. Having declared tomatoes, I tried to compensate with other vegetables I had on hand, but then Dulu said the following words. What do you need?¡¡Tell me." "Wheat for pasta, garlic, and hawkweed at least. And olive oil. I told him I would make Dulu''s portion, of course, and suddenly he was very cooperative. We''re going to make fresh spaghetti by hand. I''m also going to squeeze some olive oil from the olives. I''ll use as much as I can if I have to. "Wow, tomatoes are delicious!" Tomato sauce mixed with firm pasta, so good that it makes me want to cry. I would have cried if I was alone. The bacon, which is rated 10, is completely just a soup stock. No, it''s not even soup stock. "Oh, it''s good! I have heard that foreigners cannot "slurp" properly before manners, but Dulu is slurping up the food with gusto. In no time at all, his plate is empty. "I''d like some more. Dulu looks at me. "I''ll have the cabbage peperoncino, if you can give me some cabbage." There''s more handmade pasta. The cabbage is sweet. Especially the white part of the core. And the peppers are spicy. My thoughts are starting to break up into phrases. It''s so good that my attention is drawn to my taste buds and everything else becomes a simple thought. "We are in charge of many things, but [cooking], which many things on earth have, is out of our scope because we have not had the need to eat. Most of our skills are derived from us, but [cooking] is derived from things dedicated to us." "Well, it''s true that I can''t think of many scenes where God is cooking. I can''t picture them working in the fields or handing out pants, either. "<>> are under my jurisdiction, but <> are under Fal''s jurisdiction and <> are under Asha''s jurisdiction. Some gods like Phal have jurisdiction over beasts and birds, and some have mixed attributes with other gods due to their nature as gods of the hunt, but basically they are not supposed to invade the domain of the other gods. And since the food offered in the temples is chosen mainly out of consideration for what the gods preside over, it is said that it is rare to have a chance to taste other dishes. "We don''t eat the offerings as they are. When they heard that Tascha ate your food, they were very curious. "Should I cook for the gods every time I meet them? Shall I tell the other cooks with culinary skills?" No, we''re in the image business too. He lifts his glass of chilled beer and grins at me. "I''m only here to speed up the brewing process ......." "Oh, thank you. Thanks to you, I can drink good sake." When I told him that sake takes time to make even if the ingredients are available, Dru called Tasya immediately. In my opinion, Tasya is the main god of magic and alchemy, but he seems to be overshadowed by the other gods. I cut turnips into thin slices and arranged them alternately with dried salami, capers, black pepper, and a dash of olive oil. Usually, turnips are just for texture and not so much for flavor, but in this combination, the dry salami is the least shady. Salmon and barley, dried squid, dried tomatoes, jerky, dried peaches. I tried to list the dried foods that Tascha might like, but again, dried tomatoes and dried peaches are the best. They are probably not Tasha''s favorites. Last time, she would have picked up something hard even if it was dried. Well, it''s a good thing that he likes the sake he is drinking. Dulu seems to like drinking with his food more than he likes sake, and he is eating a lot. He is muttering that he might take up stockbreeding in addition to farming, but in that case, I wonder if the adventurers will run away carrying cows or milking them. I, on the other hand, am eating peaches. Just peeling off the skin, the white flesh is slightly pinkish, and the juice is oozing out, and the sweet aroma is strong. When I put them in my mouth, the juice fills my mouth and the aroma escapes into my nose. I am happy. I like to eat fruits as they are without any modification. "I''m starting to think that it''s better to eat them raw or roasted whole with a drizzle of olive oil, because even if I do my best to cook them, the other ingredients are too good for the vegetables. "If you could hunt in the deepest part of the labyrinth, it would be more balanced." "They''re playing with Asha and other things they''ve created. You can get good meat there. I''ll throw some in. Tascha says, Dru adds. "Don''t be absurd, we haven''t even set foot in there yet!" "Step on it, quick!" Funny, at this rate, the labyrinth is going to become a mission site for food procurement. Are you in the gag part of my game story?¡¡Is this normal? "Well, let us help you make something tasty within our bounds of reason. "Within reason" is very typical of you, but it''s unusual for you to be so devoted to an individual. You''re the one who''s always trying to stop me from giving you too much power. "It is a rare thing that one does not steal from the fields of Dur, the god of the soil. Besides, my favorites do not seem to have much in the way of vegetables. Tascha then looked at the assortment of dry goods lined up near him. "I''m sorry," she said. He picked up a dried peach and put it in his mouth. Oh, you can tell I don''t eat dried peaches since I''ve been eating nothing but peaches since a while ago. It''s true that they are the product of my wondering if I could make something that Tascha would like with the tasty vegetables and fruits we have here. I''m just trying to make her eat what she likes, rather than what I care for. You are my heart''s desire, be your king. Do not waver like a giant tree. Know that you are not in bondage or under control." Tascha said to me similar words to what Val had said to me before. For some reason, Dru was somewhat taken aback by this. "Well, take this one too. I took the peach that Dulu threw to me and diverted my attention to it, and in an instant, Dulu, Tasya, and even the field were gone. I have obtained the title "Dur''s Blessing. [Earth magic] changed to [earth magic]. The title [Tasha''s Blessing] has been changed to [Tasha''s Favor]. Time magic has been changed to time magic. I got the title [Tasya''s Magic]. I have obtained the title "The Earth of Dru. Skill [Attack Recovery and Magic] has been acquired. Skill¡¾No Chanting¡¿is acquired. The lower level skill ¡¾Shorten Chanting¡¿will be merged. Skill [Heavy Magic] has been acquired. The skill [Shield of Firm Ground] has been acquired. Another bunch of announcements! The title [Blessing of Dru] increases the compatibility with VIT and the attribute of Dru, other than that, it still cannot be [appraised]. The title [Tasha''s Magic] makes it easier to improve magic magic skills, and also brings up the skills [Attack Recovery, Magic Power] and [Chantless]. Attack Recovery and Magic Power] is the skill to recover your M! When you attack and deal damage, it heals your M! It is a very useful skill. Attack Recovery/Life] seems to be also possible. The first benefit of this skill is that it increases the amount of recovery. No Chanting] allows you to use magic without loss of time for chanting. The value of [Shorten Chanting] which had been raising the level is now ......, or maybe having [Shorten Chanting] was a condition to get it, it''s a higher level conversion, so it''s no problem. The first benefit is the increase of magic speed, the time from the hand to the point of impact after the magic is activated? The title [Duru''s Earth] is a production bonus and can be used without regard to rank if the material is a blessing from the earth, I guess it is thanks to this that I could cook in Duru''s fields. I wonder if herbivores can also be used. But the monsters in the labyrinth that I was implicitly told to hunt are definitely not herbivores. Oh, does this include minerals and medicinal herbs? The range of application seems to be wider than I thought. The skill [Heavy Magic] is so-called "gravity". The level 1 magic learned from the beginning is , which applies gravity and slows down the enemy''s movement. The effect is similar to that of at the first level of [Temporal Magic]. Some of the spells other than the basic attribute have the same effect with other spells, or maybe some of them can be substituted for other spells. Shield of Firm Earth] completely prevents physical attacks once, and after that it prevents one-half of the damage, one-third, and one-fourth of the damage, totaling four times. The recast time is 25 minutes with the first bonus instead of 30 minutes. This is a bargain in many ways. Now, what is the effect of this peach? STR for meat, VIT for grain, INT for tea, MID for vegetables, DEX for eggs, AGI for fish, and LUK for dessert. Other than that, stews have cold resistance. But I think that oatmeal is said to have various effects. I guess it is not limited to mentality. And there is no field to leave now, but what about the distance in this case? With these thoughts in mind, I decide to eat away from this place and head for the village where I had originally planned to go. We''ll eat when we see the village. That''s what I thought. I think I was excited to see what effect it would have. I acquired the skill [Bouchuu-jutsu] by eating a peach from the Sacred Table with the blessings of Phal, the god of love, and Dur, the god of fertility. The peaches eaten before entering the village increased MID and LUK by 10. Skill [Bosu-chu-jutsu] is learned and ...... Wait!¡¡Adult Designation!¡¡Don''t forget about it! I''m still left with my four dimensionality! <, , and , and some of the explanations seem pretty serious, but I have no plans in this world to abbreviate how to deal with the other side! Good luck, Mr. Hiding. Super good luck! Can''t show you: £¡£¡£¡£¡£¡ I was going to boil the peel to make tea, peach tea, and call White to share it with me, but I decided against it. I''m saving the peach seeds to plant when I have a house someday. I''ll get more mid and luk, right? MID and LUK will go up, right? I mean no disrespect! ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ More...

There was no lodging in the village closest to the inlet where the sea serpent emerges. We came here without stopping at Doromir, which is too far to go anyway. We negotiated with the villagers and rented a place where a barn and a stable were combined to store farm tools and horses'' bedstraw. The villager who rented us the barn told us that when the order to defeat the guild came down, they set up a large area of wards at the edge of the beach and erected temporary huts, and that the number of adventurers was so large that there were more people in the village than villagers, making it a kind of festival. The village has only about fifty people, after all. I want a ward. The village would like to have a smaller scale and more frequent attack before more damage is done. There are too many opponents to be accepted in the village, and the guilds provide complete sets, so there is no money down. The guild is very grateful for the sea serpents, so the guild provides water for free. They sell grilled fish and shellfish on the beach during the daytime, but still they are said to earn valuable cash income. According to the guild''s data, Sea Serpents have high physical and magical defenses, and even have H! Therefore, many C-rank adventurers gather and fight for five days in a push to kill them according to the guild''s order to do so. Even after completing their own quota, adventurers who receive a request to take down a C-ranked creature must participate in the battle for five days. Those who fail to fulfill their quota must participate the following year. If the number of Sea Serpents is too large, even B-rank adventurers are forced to participate, and even those who have just become C-rank adventurers and are a little lacking in ability are expected to participate in anticipation of this. The drop of Sea Serpents is only a little high in terms of the rarely obtained Yukon stone, and there is no one who likes to hunt them unless it is for the purpose of raising the guild rank. In addition to the occasional hunt for rank-up adventurers, in the middle of a year when the number of adventurers has increased too much, the government, not the guild, sends out requests to A-rank adventurers to adjust the number of adventurers. Incidentally, when A-rank adventurers come, the village chief''s house is vacated and rented out. That is why we are making straw beds. The horse peeked at me with interest from next door and I felt uncomfortable, so I stopped using the magic of the light and am working in the dark. I put down the cover-up camp that Kikuhime gave me as a bedding and finished. When I wake up, it''s time for the Sea Serpent. I''m going to be a sea serpent... Mr. Black Sea Serpent Sea Serpent. A thick body that looks as if it could hold a man, and a body length of ten meters. They are entwined together, making waves on the surface of the sea. The entire surface of the sea is black, but I wonder if there are too many of them. Is this normal? Today I had a refreshing morning, woken up by a horse''s snort. At any rate, I am here for the challenge. < on myself to invoke [Kuroyoh] and strengthen my defense. I spot one of them a short distance away from the group and cast on it, keeping it far enough away from the group of black creatures. It does not seem to have any weaknesses, but its belly is soft. Sea Serpents have a powerful tail slapping skill. The bite attack has a poison effect, and the skill of "clinging" also has poison detection. Only the poison seems to be powerful, but the antivenom makes it disappear. The other attacks are not as strong as Eagle said. The party lasted about half a day. I wield my , prepared for the long haul. "Let''s see..." I was able to defeat him in less than a quarter of a minute?¡¡Huh? <> So much stronger!¡¡Isn''t that too strong! ......The enemy with the highest physical defense so far was Circle Moth, but that battle only used magic. What I''m trying to say is. I forgot about the effect of the title "King of Swords"! The main prize, a Yukon stone, did not appear, and the skin and fangs of a sea serpent were dropped. Thanks to the fact that it ignores physical defense, I was prepared for a long battle, but it didn''t take long at all. And the [Attack Recovery/Magic Power] function is a good way to recover M! It seems that [Attack Recovery/Magic Power] recovers M! I wonder if it is a 1% recovery of my M! Considering the fact that it has a level, I am looking forward to its future. Shield of Firm Ground] is a skill that I want to use in boss battles. I''d like to use recovery actively to improve my sacred magic, so I''d rather not use the shield. . < <<> <<< Do you want me to levitate as well? >> < I called White into battle for the first time. When I call Kuroyoh and get him ready for battle, White trembles and grows to the size of a large dog. He also seems to be able to on his own. < > White shouts sharply, and the sea serpent, its tail wagging in the air, falls on it. All right, I can give it a good squeeze later, can''t I? White dodges the raised tail and touches the sea serpent. He does not snatch it away or slash it with his claws, but touches it lightly, and it begins to change color to white from where he touches it. < and examined it. It immediately returned to normal. With that, he lightly touches it again. > I was scolded. > > Slaughter one. The drop is also fangs and skins. Oh, so you can''t mix up a poison to ....... We''re not on the ground here. If it leaks into the ocean, it will affect other seafood. If you put it on a sword, it would still leave a blade or a wound in the sea. A candidate is a bow, but it might not stick to the sea serpent, which seems to have a ridiculously high physical defense. I should have chosen [poison magic] and [poison magic] from the assassin''s guild!¡¡And I haven''t even gotten around to [illusion] yet! I was thinking that, but I missed the catch and three fish came in. <> White deftly dodges the tails and fangs and touches the three scythes. The petrified individuals stop moving for a moment, and then they are slashed first. White is fast and dexterous in avoiding them, occasionally taking a hit from a Sea Serpent''s ranged attack that strikes the surface of the sea, but he misses the direct hit. He seems to have nothing to worry about. < on White, but then he reconsiders and uses of the [Sacred Magic]. It is a long battle, even though it is not a boss, but the attacks do not hurt much as long as he keeps his [Kuroyoh] defense up. Sometimes you have to leave because of the recast. Think of it as a time to improve your skills. <> On the way, we pull up to the beach before the white summoning time expires. We had a meal to recover. As promised, we serve White salt knots and grilled rice balls with the smell of soy sauce mixed with sesame seeds. I wish I had seaweed and green tea. . <<> Dried plums have been added to the list of things to aim for. Maybe some takana would be good. Maybe not bonito broth. When I met him, he said fruit was his limit, and he was drinking tea like it was delicious. It''s good to have more variety in what you eat. More fun. <> I asked him what was bothering him. If it is the same for the initial level, I wonder if it is the same for skills. After White''s return, I continue to improve my skills, and it''s getting tedious to fish, so now I''m averaging five fish to improve my magic. I don''t have time to spend time on , so I have to use <. Still, when I can afford it, I use <> aggressively. All the basic magic is now at 15. Except for <>, I have raised my unused <> and <> magic to level 5. And above all [Sacred Magic Lv. 1<>Recovery of spirit and life Lv. 5<>Restores bad status Lv.10<>Exorcises the impure ?¡¡I am the one who carries 99 recovery pills. It''s the horse again. I was about to eat dinner when I saw a curious horse looking at me through the stable fence. I set up carrots and water on the other side of the fence to distract the horse. Grilled bulop with raw vegetables, minestrone, and round bread that fits in the palm of your hand. As I looked up from the meat, I saw the horse''s eyes. Horse, you''re eating too fast! What is it?¡¡What are you eating? I did my best to ignore the curious look on his face as he stared at me. It hurts to look at them. A thought strikes you and you send a . The first time I used was on a horse. As I had hoped, the horse is attracted by the fluttering butterflies nearby and turns toward me. In the meantime, I finish my dinner and get ready for bed. Tomorrow we will go outside. I pat the horse on the neck, turn off the light, and quickly go to bed. Waking up with the horse''s snort again . Brrrrrn (feed~) I thought I could hear a secondary voice. Just as I was wondering what to do, old Grec, the owner of the barn, came in, just as he did yesterday. "Good morning, I hope you slept well. "Good morning, sir." Let me help you. After old man Grech takes the horses out, I help him change the bedding in the stalls. It''s for my own good, too, because they smell bad if I don''t keep them clean. And then the sea serpent again. Thanks to the title [Tasya''s Magic], magic is easier to improve than others, so I''d like to do my best to raise it here. <> During the battle, White came without summoning. His appearance surprised me with his skillful tackle on Sea Serpent. < <<> < White disappeared after saying, "I have a very short time to get out of here by myself. I will call him again and offer him a cup of tea. > White is a wind in the sails. Does he not want to come out freely? I wondered why, but later I found out that it was not the level but the "intimacy" that allowed me to come out freely, and I understood the reason for the blabbermouth. He was embarrassed, white. Cute fluffy thing. The skill improvement with the Sea Serpent continued for three and a half days, until Peter logged in, which happened in the real world. I finally managed to gain one more level and get the [Jewelry]. An email from Peter. The content was that he wanted me to go out with him to play Yagyakul. I''ve reached my goal of level 25 in basic attributes, so I''m good to go. This is where I say goodbye to Sea Serpent. I''m sure he will learn offensive magic when he reaches 20, so I''m going to work steadily until then. I reply to Peter''s e-mail of approval, return to the village, thank old Gurek, and go to Secant. That''s right, when your [Sky Magic] reaches Lv.20, you have learned ! You can''t use it if you are tagged by a demon, and you can only move to the gate of transition, but it is wonderfully useful. It''s also good for the pocketbook! Sacred Magic learned at level 15. H! again. I thought it was recovery, but it was . Is it for residents?¡¡Or does it come with a condition called ?¡¡It seems likely. The [Time Magic] had and "undo one production process" mixed in with the production related. Incidentally, at level 20 of Tree Magic is the one I don''t want to use in front of others. The range of [Ranged Magic] has been widened a little, and the power of the spell, which used to be much lower than that of a spell aimed at a single target, has been improved a little. Weapon Holding] has also been improved a little, as has the power of the skill used with the weapon not held. I can hold a staff and attack without a sword, but my main weapon is always a sword because of the skills I have taken, or because I use the sword skills as if I were running up to the sword and slashing rather than activating them as skills. The main weapon is always a sword. I newly learned¡¾Magic Charge¡¿,¡¾Magic Effect¡¿,¡¾Physical Effect¡¿,¡¾Magic Charge¡¿,¡¾Magic Effect¡¿,¡¾Physical Effect¡¿. The latter two are degraded versions of the title effects of [King of Swords] and [King of Wise], which I acquired as a result of fighting against enemies with high magic and physical defenses. They allow magic or physical damage to be dealt even to enemies that are not or not easily affected by magic or physical attacks. If the level of the title increases, it may catch up with the performance of the title. The method of obtaining this title is a little bit illegal, but it can compensate for the loss of the title. Since there is no "¡î" for [Physics, Effective], it is likely that someone has already obtained it. The only enemies that I can remember that are not effective with physics are slimes. When I got the [Ò»éW], I couldn''t get it, but I wonder if there was an enemy with higher physical defense than that. I thought that [Magic Charge] would increase the power by accumulating magic power, but it just increased it by one. Fireball does not become stronger, but two. I wonder if this is a variant of Double Skill. Are you going to give me a normal one? It''s pretty bad because I have [No Chanting] and [Weapon Retention]. In effect, I can release 2 kinds of magic in an instant. The swordsmanship skill got more powerful as the level went up, but I didn''t get any new skills. Maybe I took [Slash] but didn''t use it, and I don''t have the basic skills that other swordsmen have, so I don''t have any derivatives. I don''t find it particularly inconvenient, so I''ll take it for what it is. No, I would like to have something more powerful for single attacks. Ah. I was too lazy to fight with two to four fighters instead of one on one!¡¡If you''re not fighting a lot of single combatants, there''s no way you''ll be able to develop skills for that. It''s good that [Isshin] can be used against multiple opponents as well as single opponents. I''ve been using [Issen] for a long time now, and I''ve been using it only for cutting weak points one by one while running through them with my gale-force boots since most of them are stronger than me. I forgot to mention that I have 113 soul stones. I don''t have this many friends. ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ Increase...

I had my equipment serviced at a repair shop in Secant and headed to the meeting place. "Hello." "Good morning." "Don''t wear black under a blue sky on an open terrace with a view of the sea, you''ll make me laugh." I''ll see what I can do about street clothes. You''re a ninja now? "Not yet, but I saw it on sale. The seamless ninja style with hand and leg bands and a cloth to hide the face wrapped around the neck like a scarf. Who made this? "It stands out, it stands out, it stands out." I was talking to Peter in the sea breeze when the oatmeal arrived. "That much?" "Yes." "At least you don''t creep at all, do you?" "And by the way, the homura is white... Othello." The oatmeal sitting on the table is also white, so it certainly looks like Othello. "Let''s think of something for the daytime..." "Well?¡¡What do we do?¡¡Do you want to recruit a party at the guild or at the gate?" "Oh, Homura, maybe I should change jobs temporarily. Being a magic swordsman, it''s not so easy to be in a party right now. "If you put it that way, my job is also popular in the field and in dungeons, but I have no luck against bosses who need firepower. "There is already a disparity between professions!" "There are not many light users at this time. After 9 o''clock, you don''t have to worry so much. "Peter, you have the firepower." "I get turned down because of my profession." Many of the people who come in during the daytime on weekdays are extremely efficiency-oriented, or they will follow the information if they are told it is good for them. My occupation as a magic swordsman does not seem to fit their needs because of my mediocre position and firepower. The party composition for boss battles tends to be knights for shields and holy warriors for recovery. Mages, warriors, and fighters specializing in firepower are popular. Among them, warriors are often invited because they can serve as shields in case of emergency. Mages are more popular in Circle Moth, where physical damage is not so effective. Peter''s secret agent is also good for exploring fields and dungeons because he can search and preempt, but he is not in high demand for bosses who can be defeated by brute force. "Winners!" It is always the case that the main job is a recovery job or a shield job, which are in high demand, and the sub job is a high-firepower job. Peter often decides on the concept of his character and plays a slightly minor position such as a bow or a gun. This is an unusual choice for him, as he does not use flying tools. I am envious of both Ochazuke, who is able to move efficiently, and Peter, who is able to create a character based on his own values, as I usually settle on a firepower job that is easy to play after trying it out. I ask for a recruitment ad on the guild''s bulletin board until the specified time, and each of us is free to do as we please until we get together. If you are in a party, you can talk to each other except in special areas, which is convenient. While Ochazuke and Peter stay in the production facility, I wander around the secant and find a marketplace to chill out. I find oysters on sale and buy them at a discount. Even if the production level is not high enough, there are still things that we want to make and eat. And so I stay in the production facility. The Flame King and five others have reached the Labyrinth of the Labyrinth City. I will now disclose the information. From now on, we will release the pain, part destruction, and training, which were previously set at less than 1%. From now on, when you reach the labyrinth in the labyrinth city, you will be given the option of releasing the pain sensation. If you choose [Release Pain], you will feel the same amount of pain as in the real world when you are wounded, and you will be able to [Destroy Parts] of yourself and your enemies. If the pain is deemed unbearable to the player, he or she will be placed in a state of "fainting," and his or her sense of pain will be blocked. Players who have [Pain Release] will be able to increase their basic stats through [Training]. Please check the menu for details. Announcement came. The party that defeated the boss of Faina was the first to go to the labyrinth city. I''m jealous. But I think we have to improve our skills. "The first party to go to the labyrinth city already? I wonder if it hurts to be released or what." "[Training] sounds good, but I feel like people who don''t have time should just play the normal game. It hurts." "Looking at the menu description, it seems that if you repeat a normal action, it will increase, so it seems like the abilities you use most often will be enhanced?" "I wonder if that''s true. "I''m human, I''m average ......" "I don''t want to be in pain, so I''m going to stay like this." "It looks like I can try it out one time and get it back, so I might give it a try." After talking about the announcements for a while, the deadline for applications came. "Well, the time is halfway, and I wonder if we''ve already gathered at Foss or Faina''s..." "The bosses have already spread out, so the first two should be cleared quickly. But I heard that the boss in Foss is hard to get to if you don''t have a way to recover. We were lucky. "I see, I''ll have to work on raising my water spirit level..." "Do you want to go with the three bosses?¡¡If we lose, we''ll have to take a bath for dinner while we''re in desperation." Ochazuke makes a suggestion. "Well, why don''t the three of us go?" I''m afraid of soloing because I don''t think I''ll be able to recover with <> in time if I get hit continuously, but I think I can make it if I have someone to heal me or someone to receive attacks from me if I have Yagyakul. "Suicide attack". "I didn''t think you''d take it seriously. I don''t have a shield. I''ll get you a shield. "Only a thin man can withstand it." "I think I can avoid it, and since I''ve raised Kuroyoh''s level, I''ve got some techniques that can make him a little more solid for one person, so I think I can go for it. I mean, it''s a good idea!" "Mine was a joke. As usual, you start trying weird things. It reminds me of the last time I was a miko and used to be a shield." No, I didn''t like to be a shield, it was just that the enemy party was concentrating on crushing my assistance. "I could manage the firepower if I had someone to tag me too." "Okay, I''ll give out medicine..." "I still have some of the I got in the dungeon the other day." "I''ll make sure to restore both life and magic to Ochazuke-san as insurance this time." This is expensive stuff. I could have made a rating of 10. The life activity is given to Peter, and both life and magic are given to Ochazuke. Result. Wait, what kind of cheat is this? "Too much firepower." "Amazing." "No, it''s Homura." "No, you''re both here." When Ochazuke gave him a boost in attack power, he used to flash his sword, and Yagyakul and Galahad fell down with a single blow, and then Peter''s Shadow Blade was used. The dagger was made by Leo, and for some reason, its attack power is doubled instead of being reduced to zero. The "secret agent''s H! and a blow to the head will kill you. "It''s a difficult weapon." "I''m afraid to use it unless I''m down or paralyzed, because I''m afraid I''ll be tagged with firepower." "What''s with the Homura?" "It''s just a normal, highly ranked sword with equipment rank ignore." Even as we speak, we are both attacking. "Unexpectedly, there''s not much going on." I basically avoid or dodge, and the only time I can use Ochazuke''s recovery is when there is a general attack. I''m ready to use [Shield of Firm Ground] when a rush comes, but since my skills are down, I''m likely to end up not seeing Yagyakul''s rush as I did the first time with Galahad and the others. And Peter is switching weapons for the first time. "Can you predict the whole attack?" Ochazuke asks Peter. "Yagyakul will lightly pull your head out before the whole attack comes. The night shift is not busy, so they have been prepping for the event by gathering information. "I tried to search for a video of the boss fight clearing, but I couldn''t find anything," he said. "I''ll do it." Unlike other games, I can''t take the footage outside. I wield my sword while listening to the conversation between Ochazuke and Peter. I have never had the experience of searching for videos, as I have learned not to look up information in advance. I feel like I''m looking up real-world cooking recipes rather than strategy information. "It was a terrible battle: ......" "Absolutely, sir." "You don''t say that." Ochazuke is going to ask for help. "It''s all right, we beat them. Homura looks like it could be soloed. "Let''s try again next time. I want some meat. But I don''t think I can do it if I get hit once. "Isn''t skin more expensive than meat?¡¡It''s not a cooking requirement." "There''s also restaurants - but I''m sure they''ll have some sort of ability increase system with a rating of 10, so I''m sure they''ll get it eventually ......" "Sell the skins and buy the meat. Yarn is expensive because you have to take down the wool. And don''t drift off into everyday conversation. It''s crazy, okay?¡¡That''s not normal. You guys realize that?" "I was doing what I wanted and that''s how it turned out, and I''m not sorry for it." "It''s not me that''s crazy, it''s Leo." He enjoys using his peculiar weapon, and that is Peter. Thank you. We got him out safely. "Where''s Circle Moss?" "Oh, that''s okay, I was able to get into the recruiting party before I went to bed after the night shift. "Oh, so you can go to the boss in Faina safely. Peter is greeted at the temple after he has finished registering at the transition gate. "I was thinking of going to Hoth now and leaving him in the carriage to Faina for dinner." "Me too. I mean, I should''ve followed you to the gate. I just walked out and saw him off. "I think I''ll check the consignment and drop off dinner too. I''ll walk you to Foss." You''re not coming all the way out here. "We''re going to the transition gate together, aren''t we?" The men are silent, and Pheina couldn''t pick out a gray one. Maybe it''s because they''re not registered. "What?" "<> evolved?" "Yes, you can go to the registered gate from the area where no enemy comes." I answer Peter''s question next to the pouting Ochazuke, using the party conversation as it is, so I don''t have to worry about being overheard by others. Since being around the transfer gate would interfere with those who transfer later, I pull Ochazuke and move him to the corner. "Oh, by the way, I could make it into an item. I know how to make non-attribute stone. "Oh, really?" "If you bring me dark and light stones, I will make . The number is 1.1. I''ll give it to you now. I received 15 dark stones from Peter! I received 15 light stones from Peter! I received 21 light stones from Ochazuke! Received 21 Darkness stones from Ochazuke! "Flight." The resurrected Ochazuke has taken a flight. "There are more people on the flight." "Light and dark have few stones, don''t they? I can''t wait for dark and light enemies. "I''m sure it costs at least ten times as much as the other stones." "It''s popular in production because there are no enemies of that attribute, so it''s not a weak or dominant attribute no matter where you fight." "I think that if my alchemy is improved, I can probably substitute six basic types of fire and water alchemy, but I can only synthesize three types of alchemy yet. Also, I have enough dexterity, but because I don''t have enough level, there are always one or two out of ten pieces that have a rating of 6 or 7. "What do you use for alchemy?¡¡Attribute stones?¡¡Do you need a magic stone or something?" "I use both of them, but I don''t really want to go up in level with that production anymore. As soon as I answered, Peter and Ochazuke handed me a large amount of magic stones and attribute stones. "To add to it." "I throw away the magic stones when the items get too bulky." "Thank you?" "Homura, did you put that on consignment?" "I''ve already sent out a few return stones." I''m not at the recommended level, but I''m relying on my equipment to make it, and I''m getting a certain percentage of 6 or so mixed in with the 10s I''m getting, so I''m trying to get it down to the recommended level. "Is this what they were saying on the forums when they were saying, ''I''ve got a stone! "Yeah, but it''s not about that, it''s about the candy! Wasn''t it buried in the "Boom!" They both sound too familiar. "It kind of spilled over from the buy/sell board to the production board, and people were talking about how to make it, and a few people had already mentioned how to make non-attribute stones, and they thought it must be magic that was put into it, and now the magic board is in a mess." "Great, if they find out, they''ll ask a lot of questions!" "There seem to be a few people who are repeatedly shifting temples, thinking they might remember." Because that''s the wrong direction!¡¡If you''re taking actions to try to remember transference, you''ll never learn it! "I''m scared ...... that you just put out a rock and that''s it." "Not only that, you''re also offering active medicines and other highly rated products." "Lengard, there''s a strong theory that he''s a dedicated production player who locks himself away in a production facility and buys materials on consignment and continues to produce." "What kind of play is that? "Speaking of which, what''s with the pastries?" "Oh, that''s the biggest-breasted receptionist at the Adventurers'' Guild in Fast, who said, ''If you bring me Lengard''s pastries for a week, I''ll give you a lunch date with a girl from the guild. How did that happen? "I don''t know?" "Well, you know, aside from the snacks, you can put out more of the other items on consignment when you feel like it. Even if you put out a full consignment, it''s not like there are 2,000 or 3,000 players, so it won''t turn around. "Okay, but I''m afraid of shifting, so I''ll stay at for a while." And so we parted for dinner and a bath. Let''s do the consignment after the bath. ...... 56 - 54. Free time is production and appearance. I''ve been to the Adventurers'' Guild, having completed production and consignment at Fast, taking advantage of the free transport to registered places. I wanted to raise [Jewelry] as well, but the distribution of gems is limited in the gears, and silver, which seems to be good for accessories, is scarce due to the fierce competition at the moment. I will stock up on materials later when I visit the isle. It is rather nice and convenient to be able to get to the transition gate instantly from anywhere in the city, rather than for free. But since I can''t stop exploring the alleys, I''m not going to use it in the city except when I have a rendezvous with someone. "Al, don''t you collect data on other countries here?" The aroma of tea wafts through the dry room. I ask Al as I search for the description of the information I want. We are visiting Al''s reference room in the archives. Tea and chocolate gateau with orange peel. I prepared it, but I didn''t realize that I am allowed to read while eating and drinking in the reference room (here). "The state of the country will be confiscated if you overdo it. Information on demons is always welcome. "What about information on demons that might break a little system in the country, or rather in the guild?" The Adventurers'' Guild is sorted here. We have a policy of restricting public access, but we do work with guilds in other countries." "Hmm, I heard that the sea serpents of the shipping state of Fagat are extremely susceptible to poison." You bring a lot of bombs. Al stopped the cup of tea he was about to drink and looked at me. "Really?" "That''s pretty well established as a condition for promotion to B rank and as an event." "Well, we can''t just pour poison into the ocean, can we? "Do you have poison magic?" No? "Where''s the skin of the Sea Serpent?" "I have it." "I''ll pay for it, just give me a few pieces." Then I guess I''m entitled to a cup of tea here. He said with a very serious air of pretension and offered me the skin of a sea serpent. "O.K." Al takes it with a smile. "I''ll have a medicine man I know test it to see if the poison works." Will the skin work? "Yes, I think it will work. I don''t think extreme means it''s in the bloodstream or digested. "I see." "Thank you. There are few adventurers who only bring their knowledge, but voluntarily deliver it. I hope you will bring it to me again. Al gave me his partner card (Patoka)! I leave the baked goods for the receptionist with Al and leave the reference room. It crossed my mind that there might be a lot of guys in the exchange for my patrol car, but I couldn''t go anywhere near the battle for the receptionist. A receptionist with a red ponytail noticed me coming down the stairs and bowed to me, to which I returned the bow. Her name was Nana, I think. There is a theory that the reason why there are so many single women at the reception desk is because the ratio of male to female adventurers is high, and the guilds have placed them there intentionally as a customary practice for a long time in order to provide a meeting place for them, to get the ruffians used to talking to women, and to reduce their roughness when they talk with the residents around them. However, I have a feeling that most of the adventurers are young girls because of the players. In fact, today again, there are men hanging around the counter from a distance, with a few young girls mixed in here and there. I guess we are not supposed to think about the gender of the people inside, but I guess that''s the way it is. Even with this in mind, there are many men staring at the counter to see if there is any secret game or if they make eye contact with the receptionist. The group of guys who are looking for the receptionist with big breasts are making a fuss every time her breasts sway. These guys have guts. I''m thinking of presenting the book I got from the isle to the used bookstore, but I''m not sure if I''ll be able to remember the meeting time if I stop by now, since I''ll be too absorbed in reading. I''ll check to see if Julius'' staff is ready and join the knight''s training. When I asked for the staff, I didn''t know that there is such a big difference in the level of progress of the staff at the level of over 30, and I would have ordered a staff in the late 30''s or early 40''s. I prepared a magic stone to give him abilities if he could not equip it even if he could. The two abilities are INT and MID. I will ask him to show me his wand, and I will think about which one to put on it, and leave it with him again. I will refine Christina''s magic stone a little more and ask her to use it for her next wand. "Hello. "Ah, Homura-san." A flowery smile is what I call a smile that makes a flower bloom. Julius is the slimmest and prettiest boy I know in this world, except for the Goddess of Shame. Not that he''s a boy''s girl, but he''s at an age where he doesn''t seem to have any s*xuality...well, I''m not going to pursue this because it''s going to be a dangerous thought. "I''m sorry, I can''t wand you yet. I''m trying to get the materials from my father''s contacts, but it''s not going as smoothly as I''d like." Yes, I should have taken into account not only the level, but also the fact that there are not many high-ranked materials available in this country. "No, I was the one who was reckless last time because I didn''t know much about production. I only brought rubies. Next time, I can''t help you with the technical stuff, but if you get stuck on a material, will you call me?" "Yes." "For your information, what materials are needed for the wand?" Gems, magic stones and wood are the main ingredients. The rest are metals that go well with magic power and materials from demons. "What kind of materials are used for demons, for example?" Crystals and horns. I''ve heard that the materials dropped by demons that use magic or attribute skills are the ones that are compatible with magic power. "I see." I think it''s only polyps in the dias.¡¡I have bitter memories of being chased around by fire and having to flee. "Wood seems to be the problem." "If it''s a big one, you can use the horns and bones as heartwood." "Okay, I''ll be careful. I''m not up to par either, so take your time. Apparently, Julius had been waiting for the arrival of new materials and had been working with what he could find. Many of the canes, although of low rank, are highly evaluated. The designs, although not spectacular, are well balanced and carefully crafted in detail, and can be described as beautiful. I think I have found a good cane maker who is hardworking and dedicated. Now for the knight''s training. I noticed now that the training always raises [Swordsmanship] and [Sword] by 1, perhaps I should have taken the training at a higher level, or at least at the skill level of 30. It is too late for me since I have already accepted the training. The last training partner, Nex, uses a thrusting sword. It seems that he can cut as well as thrust, but Nex is good at avoiding and stepping into the opponent''s weak spot. Nexus can strike through gaps in armor, at joints such as wrists and knees, and at the throat, and if he neglects his defense, even for a moment, his thrusts will fly. When you attack, they are especially hard to counter with a counter attack, which is a casual feint such as stepping forward and avoiding a thrust, or simply moving their eyes to look at you. I feel that Nex is not only anticipating my actions but also guiding them to some extent, while I am relying on the speed of my equipment to cope with them. You see, I am an ordinary person, though my basic ability is high due to the compensation. E!? I was able to deal with him until I ran out of E! I may not need it against demons, but I want to train it since I''m going to wield a sword. E! 0 is so dull. He thanks Nex and drags his heavy body to the end of the room to serve tea. If you leave it at E! If you leave it at E!.0, then M!.0 reduces the status by three-fourths, and then H!.0 reduces it by one-fourth. 0, then M! Let''s have a meal before that happens, he thinks and drinks tea. "May I have some tea? As expected, Nex came. "Here you go." He brewed a cup of tea and offered it to her. "Well, this is delicious. I''ve always avoided it because I thought it tasted a bit muddy, unlike coffee. "Maybe it was the old tea leaves." "I see." We sipped tea for a while and watched the training together. "Are you a demon specialist?" "For now, yes." "Maybe I should play against people once in a while. If it''s difficult, try faking or guiding your opponent''s moves, even if he''s an easy demon to defeat. I hear that some demons are intelligent, though I don''t hear it in this country. It''s good to practice." "Okay. I''m told I''m limited to five sessions, but if I pay you, I can come here on occasion?" "I don''t offer one-on-one instruction, but I''m open to it." Thanks, I''ll stop by sometime." I have completed my training at the Knight Training Center. Please choose any one of the following skills [Gathering, Offensive] Slightly increase the offensive power of the entire party/alliance. [Gathering, Defense] Slightly increase the defense of the entire party/alliance. Damage is multiplied by 1.1 when using a two-handed sword. Nito Ryu] Use both hands to wield a one-handed sword at the same time. The Way of the Sword] It becomes easier to acquire a sense of swordplay. I chose the way of the sword. As I am aware that I am indebted to both [Taijutsu] and [Evasion], I have no choice but to choose them. I''m also attracted to the two-sword sword. I hear that there is also a [double sword], so I''ll be looking forward to that. I heard that [Nito Ryu] allows you to use two different weapons, while [Futaken] only allows you to use the same type of sword, but that''s okay because [Weapon Retention] is also available. Leo, Peter, and Kikuhime log in one after another. It is time to move to Faina. We need to see the sights! Gently enter an unpopular back alley and use . There were no players in the temple of Faina. Fewer people must have defeated the water polyps. If it is the same as the case of Fire Polyp, the rear guard must also raise their defense to some extent and be careful not to let the healer fall down, since there are many attacks on non-shield players. It seems to me that it is a hard enemy if you do not have multiple means of recovery, as in the case of Phos''s Dade Lizard. Go out without feeling the presence of anyone except priests. The gate cannot be used without defeating the water polyp. Since it is possible to move around by carriage, there may be people gathered in the square. Now, I have already acquired the skills for making accessories that I was supposed to acquire in Faina (here). I have to see, but I am sure that there will be more jewelry to be made in the isle. I was expecting to find dwarves, but I was told that there are many rugged dwarves living here who are good at blacksmithing instead of jewelry making. I have no intention of acquiring a blacksmithing skill, leaving that to Luba for now. It sounds fun, but the skill points! How many times have I wondered why I took [Slash] when I had no use for it? No, it seems that normal swordsmen take [Slash] and use it as a derivative of various skills. If you use it, you can get various kinds of skills depending on the situation and how you use it, I don''t know. Blacksmithing is also said to derive skills influenced by occupation, just as my alchemy is derived from alchemy influenced by my occupation. Blacksmithing is said to be affected not only by occupation but also by STR or VIT. If a swordsman has STR>VIT or STR=VIT, weapon blacksmithing is derived, and if STR From there, sword smithing, dagger smithing, and other types of smithing are also derived. It seems that the weapon smiths can make a wide range of weapons, and from there, they can specialize. The stores between the temple and the guilds in King''s Landing are large, and it is not interesting to walk around and check them out from the street. It would be nice to enter the stores, but I am hesitant to do so when I have no intention to buy anything at the moment. We ended up killing time in an alley lined with miscellaneous stalls leading from the food stalls. There is a wide variety of food, but the food stalls are very flavorful. There are a few places here and there that sell beer together, which was scarce in the fast food stalls, or perhaps only one. Mosbar...... reminds me of the story of the head of the Mos Commercial Guild, who has a near monopoly on alcohol in the capital. The strong taste is not only due to the large number of manual laborers among the customers, but also to the beer. Sweat depletes the body of salt and beer increases potassium. Potassium and sodium must be balanced or the osmotic pressure of the cells will be ......, well, anyway, beer makes you crave salt. As a customer, if it is not salty, it is not enough. I am not a manual laborer, or is a magic swordsman a manual laborer?¡¡At any rate, I am not a sweaty worker and I don''t drink beer. A plate of food from this stall is enough for me. Oh no, I want to eat other people''s food, but my own food is more palatable. I want to go back to the fast inn. I''m sure the innkeeper and his wife will improve their cooking skills if I bring them some ingredients. The restaurant on the isle is exceptional, but it''s so exceptional that I''m going bankrupt. I bought the tub at Sir. The porcelain was bought at Foss. As for accessories, I just saw the work of Garganos at Navai Grande, so I have nothing of the design that attracts me. I''ll be honest, The guildmasters of the commercial guild told me that the first time they arrived it was raining and they could not enjoy the scenery from the gondola. And the impressions of the two different cities I visited right after that, the tree-covered capital of the Isle and the sun-drenched Navai Grande, did not give me a good impression of the royal city of Faina. After liberating Faina, it might be normal to spend a few days in the area to raise the adventurer''s rank as well as to level up. As soon as I defeated the boss, I returned to the city without liberating it, and stayed there only for a very short time after liberating it. I went to the next town without getting used to it. This is another distortion, I think, but I do not regret it. I enjoy spending time with Galahad and I still regret that I could not follow the labyrinth city because of my lack of ability. When I heard the announcement of the release of the labyrinth by the Flame King, or was it the Flame King, I felt like burning for a moment. But I don''t regret that I am now working alone to improve my abilities. I have low skills and no player skills, and I would regret only raising my level, but I would also regret calling Galahad by force with my partner card (Patoka) to defeat the enemies in the area, and interfere with his work. Fortunately, Sea Serpent has helped me to improve my skills, so I''ll ask him if I can go with him next time. Oh.... I have to improve [concealment] by then. Galahad and Camilla will make fun of me for sure! No, wait a minute, how high do I have to raise it?¡¡I have a feeling that 30 is definitely not enough.

When I gave Peter the transfer stone, I also mixed in a pair of bright red boomerang pants that Leo had sent me. Thus the pants are laundered without being worn. < also included a pair with a rating of 6. In consignment, the upper and lower limits of the price are determined for each item, and since there is no one else to make them now, even those with a rating of 6 can be sold for the highest price. So, the service is available in exchange for the extra 10. Since I have just released <>, I am not willing to sell <> with a rating of 10 yet. My <> with [sky magic] can transfer from the field. Hooray for my first acquisition. The normal [sky magic] is a transfer from city to city, [sky magic] is said to have a recast time, I don''t know exactly what it is because I immediately became a [magic]. The rate of successful transfer is determined by the rating of the item, and a rating of 10 means 100% success. If you set up a stall, you can set the selling price freely, but it seems to be a troublesome work to investigate the market and decide the price. I wonder if it would be OK to set the price of 10 as higher than the 40,000 shillings for the transfer fee of the temple, if we don''t have to go all the way to the temple, even if it is in the city. But if the price is too high, it will cost time and money for a carriage, and there will be no demand for it. If the price is lowered, there will be competition with the temple, which is also a problem. The last person to arrive at the rendezvous was Kikuhime. Thank you for working overtime. I have taken a break and am ready for the meeting. "Speaking of which, what are we going to do about the clan?" Now that everyone is here, I ask what''s on my mind. "Ah, the guild of commerce or the guild of adventurers. Which do you prefer, Peter?" "I heard that adventurers have special requests for the clan they belong to. I heard that merchants are sometimes asked to negotiate for items that are not available in the commercial sector, but I''m not sure which one to choose. I vote for commerce. "I want to join the Adventurers'' Guild. I don''t produce much. "Oh, I''ll have to deliver goods, do quests, donate money, and so on, as I raise my clan rank." "Either way, it''s up to you!" "Donations." "Well, I voted for adventurer because there are some people who don''t sell much. I''ll have the two who can''t donate to the cause do quests for me like a cart horse!" We talked about this and that, but we agreed to register as a clan in the Adventurers'' Guild. "I''ll give you 50,000 shillings for the oatmeal. "So I''m the clan master, not the girmas." "Oh!¡¡Nice to meet you! "Please do me a favor." "Thank you for your help." I''m on it. That''s what happened. They will send you an email inviting you to join the clan once you have registered. When you receive the email, go to the Adventurers'' Guild and pay the 100,000-sil personal subscription fee to join the clan. I wonder if Shin and Leo have 100,000 shillings. "Now, for the boss battle..." Was it like a jellyfish? "Yeah." "There''s some kind of object chasing the rear target, and they say you can''t recover while you''re being chased, so you''ll each have to endure it." "Yes, sir." And so we arrived at the boss field to face the water polyps. "[Surprise! "What?" "Eeehhhh..." "What? "Hey!" "Boom!" One of them ran into the opening, even though <> wasn''t on. "Hey Leo, it''s about time you graduated from <>." "At least I''ll tell Homura that I want a !" "Wa-ha-ha!" Ochazuke and Kikuhime tell Leo. I was stunned before I could ask or answer. I failed or rather didn''t invoke [surprise attack], so the boss didn''t take much damage and I didn''t get tagged by Kikuhime, so it wasn''t a disaster, but it was terrible. "Hakurai!" Lightning works well for water polyps. I shoot two charges on top of each other while ing Leo with the sub wand. > is a white lightning spell learned at [Lightning] Lv.20, consuming M! Before, I was not specialized in magic, so the higher the level I handle, the more M! I thought that I might have a hard time with M! Now I am able to use M! I am now thinking that I can just heal by slashing when I run out of M! I also have < and when I am soloing, I also have the effect of the title of "Solitary Adventurer". You don''t have to worry about M! By the way, you don''t have to worry about M! is recovered by magic attack as well, but the amount used is much larger than the amount of M! The water polyp splits into four spheres. At first there were two. It seems that the longer the battle goes on, the more spheres there are. The fire polyp had a "burn" effect when hit, but this one has a "paralysis" effect. Polyps are larvae of jellyfish, so they are paralyzed. The sphere returns to the original water polyp after a certain period of time, but it also returns when it is damaged beyond a certain level. If the sphere returns to its original state after a certain amount of time, it will be attacked by a total attack without a pause. Since there are not many players, the strategy has not been established yet, but Peter and Ochazuke explain to everyone before the boss battle the method that was posted on the bulletin board by a few who cleared the game. (1) When the sphere splits up, the fastest man such as a spy or a rogue takes the sphere''s territory. (2) Even if you attack, the target may shift to the person closest to you, so pull them to the perimeter and turn in a certain direction so that they do not collide with each other. (3) Magic workers (including recovery workers) do not participate in the marathon because they are too slow and will catch up with you. The first time you return to the polyp, you will be attacked by the entire group, so please be sure to get your H! (4) All the H!? (5) The recovery magic may not be able to reach them depending on the distance, so everyone must prepare their own recovery methods. (5) It is better to have more than one person who can heal the whole body because the combo of paralysis and whole body attack will come near the end. The solution to (5) is to save the summoning of spirits for the last, since all the members are water spirits and can heal as a whole. It is said that it is very difficult to take a target and timing of recovery, depending on where the spheres appear and who they aim at. Fosu''s Dade Lizard was also tough unless he put in a full recovery after the full attack. We were a group of water spirits and all of us were able to use overall recovery, so even if we missed the timing of recovery, others recovered for us and we easily exceeded it, but I heard that many players are stuck at Foss. "Hee~!" Ochazuke is being chased by two spheres. Peter, Leo, and Shin are fighting the spheres. Shin, against, against. "Backwards, backwards." They seem to have turned in the wrong direction, and now they''ve run into Shin and have no choice but to fight him there. And it looks like they are having a hard time fighting because they are not far enough from each other. Shin is hit by paralysis. Kikuhime is going around the perimeter with the sphere as planned. She is in trouble, she thinks, but since reinforcements are not likely to come, she switches her staff to a sword and breaks in between the spheres and the ochazuke. "[Isshin]!" You don''t have to say it out loud to use it, but sometimes. He slashes down two spheres. "I''m a cool magic de swordsman!" Ochazuke says as he casts [Recovery] on himself. I wonder how ordinary magical swordsmen fight. Peter and the others seem to have been defeated. Ochazuke cures [paralysis] and restores the three of them. Kikuhime is just about to reach the four. "Let''s take them down!" "Oh!" "Oh!" "Hadeshi." A trap where magic can''t reach. I missed the ride! I''ve got five squirts of water-polyp slime. I have the staff of the water polyp. I have the magic stone of the water polyp. I got 10 water polyp eggs. I have obtained the ring of intelligence. "I should have killed it the first time." "Wow, that''s a lot of firepower!" "It''s a foul thing to do, I heard that if you don''t have firepower, you can''t beat the sphere, and then it goes up to eight spheres." But at the end of the day, if you don''t have two people to heal the whole body, it''s going to be a disaster. "I hear a lot of people are stuck here with the daylizards." After the sphere was disposed of, the damage it took was significant, but with the help of the water spirits, the sphere was easily defeated. Then, we went out of the boss field. "Hello, did you defeat him? A woman suddenly spoke to me. "Oh!¡¡I beat you!" A timid Leo replies. "Congratulations. So, excuse me, but can someone with high firepower or an attacker with recovery help me with this? I''d like to register for the transfer as soon as possible, so I''ll pass. I''ll pass too. I decline following Peter. "Oh, I know you wizards can''t run, so I''ll send someone else if I can." What a rude woman. I''ll pass too. "Ha-ha-ha, me too!" In the end, they all pass and return to town. "Why don''t you recruit on the Adventurer''s Guild bulletin board or at the gate, or did one of you suddenly drop out?" "Oh, I heard there''s some kind of local scouting that will make sure that anyone who''s cleared the area is sure to make it." Ochazuke replies to Shin''s words. "If you fail, you can''t fight in a row because you have to wait for the despena to recover, so I hear it''s pretty severe or even deadly," he said. A stray party is not a fixed party, but a party of people you don''t know at any given time. I don''t know what other people call it, but that''s what we call it in this group. "But still, you rejected Homura, who has the most firepower..." "I''m afraid I''ll get in trouble if they find out, so I usually pretend to be a wizard. When it becomes possible to rewrite the occupation column with [concealment], I''ll change it as soon as possible. "Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!" "Oh?¡¡Roy''s in the mail." "Oh, I got one here, too." Apparently, everyone has received the message. Sent all at once? Roy: I got a C rank!¡¡If you get stuck on a polyp, give me a call. Also, I made a clan! "Oh, you''re a C-rank now." "Good morning." "Short email as usual." "Well, we''ll take the promotion test when we register for the transfer." "Let''s go for a gondola ride, gondola." Each returns a congratulatory e-mail and walks leisurely along the road at dawn. We fight the occasional enemy and make our way to the city of Faina. "The canals are amazing, but the sea breeze?¡¡It''s sticky." "The sea was much fresher in Secant, even if it was the same. "The canal is too deep to see the scenery." I think it''s low tide. "It''s not too deep, but there are a lot of places where the back of the house is surrounded by walls." The houses are kind of fun to look at." "There are a variety of gondolas that I would like to charter one of these days." "Leo, what''s up with the quiet?" "...... drunk." "Hey!¡¡Don''t throw up in my lap! Why is it that I don''t mind riding in a carriage? I''ll trade you for a seat at the end. "Wait a minute, aren''t you supposed to trade with Leo in the middle?¡¡Why are we shifting by one there?" I''ll take the one next to me! "Gee!¡¡Leo, just stay towards the river for a minute!¡¡Don''t get stuck in my lap ahhhhh!" "Nice scream." You''re not a good neighbor, are you? It''s so peaceful. Unlike the first time I came here, it''s sunny and I enjoy the gondola with much fanfare. We register the transfer gate at the temple and return to the fast. Leo and Shin seem to have no money, so I register them, but they move on with my . "Six people move and 570 M! I''m not sure I want to spend that much." > is also level 20 magic and consumes M! is the same as that of <. Yes, yes. "Oh, dear, Mr. Homura." ! Oh, my God, it''s on! Ekaterina! We ran into each other as soon as we left the room with the fast transition gate. "Thank you for the meat, Homura-san. My siblings are eager to see you..." "Uh-oh? "Hey, Homura? With a smirk and a silent smile, he slides four crates on the floor toward Ekaterina. A horsefly jumps out of the box and flies wildly. "Run!" "What the hell?" There was a bit of a commotion in the temple, but we arrived safely at the plaza where the guild is located. "Homura, what is that? Peter asks. "They don''t sell paper boxes or trays. The quantity was too large and they were too freshly fried to keep the lids on. The crates were made by a new woodworker to raise his level or something, and were sold in large quantities at low prices, so we bought them in bulk. The one I filled with horse mackerels was the size of a mandarin orange box, but there are some that could be made into candy boxes. When I had to pack them in a wooden box, I thought it would have been better to leave them as horse mackerels. I don''t understand. "Why did you give the lady of the house fried horse mackerel?" "No, I picked up some orphan-like thing and pushed it against the temple, and it tried to push me back, so I''m gently fighting back." What are you doing? So, why the ajifurai, then? "You can''t punch me or kick me. I''m not Leo." You''ll have to talk to me first, won''t you? 58 - The Crane "Oops, since the rank test is for individuals, let''s apply for clan establishment first." "Thank you very much." The promotion test was to be held in a private event field, or the party would be dismissed, so the clan registration was to be completed first. At the counter of the Adventurers Guild, I bowed to the receptionist who looked at me and smiled. ......I''m sure I smiled at her, right?¡¡If not, shame on you. The receptionist''s fans are at work in the guild today. I wonder when these guys are going on their adventures. By the way, Shin, who was saying "hello," had 50,000 shillings for the clan''s registration fee, but it was far short of the 100,000 shillings for the individual registration fee. And Leo, too. So he lent them both 100,000 shillings each in good time. "I''m sorry, I''m sorry." "Thank you!" "Fine, but give it back, will you?" "Oh!" "I''ll save it." "Uh, what''s the name of your clan?" Ochazuke turns from the counter and asks. "Zodiac is fine, isn''t it?" "Yeah." "That''s OK." Zodiac is a team name I used in other games. The structure and main authorities of the clan are as follows. 1 master with various powers Appointment of Vice, Authority of Vice Blank checks, expulsion of 2 vises with various powers. Can make a Visitor a Common. Blanks the Chief of Station, expels him. Chief - Can make a recruited adventurer a Visitor. Invitation and cancellation as a Redecoration of common space. Common - General member. In a clan. You can have your own room. Visitor - Clan conversation, clan house General common space in the Trial membership. If the master does not log in for a month, a vice who has been in office for a long time will replace the master. "Vice means assistant mascot, doesn''t it?" "I guess." "Hmm, done. Zodiac Katakana didn''t work, so I changed it to English. Zodiac. Names are not supposed to sound alike. "Okay, I''ve sent you an email inviting you to join." Open the email and choose to join the clan. You are now a visitor. Soon you receive an email from Ochazuke about your promotion to common. "When I get the email for the common, I guess I''ll just pay at the reception desk and be done with it. "Yes, sir." The procedure is carried out at the counter as Ochazuke said. Your clan information is written on the guild card. After completing the procedure, three e-mails are sent to you. Promotion to common, promotion to chief, and promotion to vice. "Hey, I don''t need a title!" "I made irregular login representative and average login representative. And please take care of Leo for me." "I don''t want it!" I''m invoking the veto! "Wa-ha-ha-ha." "Go for it!" "Stagger." I pushed Master and he pushed Vice! "Well, I guess we''ll each have to take a promotion exam." "Oh." See you later." Every time someone talks to the receptionist, they disappear from the party. They enter the single area of the event and automatically leave the party. When I met Verna, the god of darkness, I worried her to death. Now you can talk to people in the same clan even if you are not in the same party, but during the event, you can''t receive clan conversations or e-mails. Clan conversations can be turned off, or you can just join in and listen to the conversation without making a sound. You can be a visitor of other clans, but not a common member of a clan. And my current guild card. Homura Rank C Clan Zodiac Race Human Occupation Magical Swordsman Title [Beastslayer If you have more than one title, you can choose which one you want to display, so I chose one that is not too obvious since I have killed a griffin. There is also a way to display the full list of levels, available skills, and stats. This is more convenient when you are temporarily partying with an unspecified number of people in the wild, since you don''t have to explain what you can do. In case you are wondering, I also made a [hidden] pattern for disclosure!¡¡I did not fiddle with the guild card, but rather I fiddled with the results I get when I [appraise] myself. Since I can only erase titles and skills, I tried to erase them while leaving the ones that Roy and his friends know.

It seems that the order in which you can tamper with [Conceal] makes it easier to see. And there are also skills such as ¡¾Ganban¡¿, ¡¾Appraise¡¿, and other skills that can detect hidden objects, as well as higher level skills of ¡¾Appraise¡¿, so it is only a rough guide. The explanation of the¡¾Ganban¡¿ skill says, "If the target''s¡¾Covert¡¿level is high, it will fail, but you don''t know if it succeeds or not. Besides, I''d like to change my occupation as soon as possible. Now what should I do? Let''s go to a used book store and give the book to him. Even if you end up reading the book, it''s okay, because this time we don''t have a fixed meeting time, and we''ll probably meet up via clan conversation or e-mail. "Hey." Cadiz, the used bookstore owner, is behind the counter as usual, his face just peeking out from the book he is reading and not smiling at me. I should have gotten to know him well enough to get a patka from him. Still, unlike before, he seems a little more welcoming. "What, you came here to read again?" "That''s one thing, but I went to the isle the other day. I got a book that you don''t see around here, so I brought it as a souvenir." "Oh?" Cadiz turns to face me, putting aside the book he was reading and the pipe he was smoking. "A book with information on the different types of gems and their main effects when used as materials, the quality of wood used for wands and the equipment of wizards," he said. He piles the books on the counter, telling them what kind of books they are. "That''s quite a lot, isn''t it?" "I went to the library and they were doing an inventory, and I found a basket of damaged books that were about to be thrown away. I don''t think there are any rare books in this lot, since the books to be restored seemed to be separated from the rest of the collection, and in fact there were several copies of the same book in each lot. They are damaged, but I thought this one might be rare." Perhaps these books, which were about to be disposed of, are the kind that students use en masse as reference books for their classes, and are replaced periodically with new ones. When I registered at the library, they were randomly placed next to the counter. There were some books on the history of the Isle, but I avoided books with data on the Isle because I was warned by Al about "information on the country". "I see. I see. It looks like an ordinary illustrated book, but it is certainly rare in this country (Geers). It is also rare for adventurers to bring old books here. "?"?¡¡You''re a used bookstore and you don''t stock books?" No, it is rare for adventurers to bring their own goods. Most of them just read or buy and never come back, and those who do read rarely come back as often as you do. "I see." "Well, I guess I''ll stop reading for a while and work on restoration. How much do you want?" No, I got this stuff for free, so I don''t want your money. "That''s not good for business." It seems that I am surrounded by many types of people who are serious about their work. But I have no idea what the market price is for the books I brought. So, in exchange for the money, can you teach me the rudiments of book restoration?" He thinks for a moment and asks. "Well, that''s elementary." "I would like to restore this." What I want to restore is a picture book about light and darkness that have gone into hiding. There was a palm-size book with a few tears, not unreadable but about to break apart at any moment. I''d like to clean it up anyway. "Oh, a picture book. Let me show you. Picture books and fairy tales sometimes contain more truth than history books." Come to think of it, there are a lot of picture books and fairy tales in this store. I learned the story of the Cliff of Trials from reading an old fairy tale here. Incidentally, I also read the story of the first king of the labyrinth city, Count Garlei the Knight, here. I wonder if you are a fan of Gulley, Cadiz. "Does this also suggest why the God of Darkness and the God of Light are not currently worshipped in the temple?" Cadiz is also looking at the picture book with interest as she repairs it. She lays a piece of smooth paper coated with wax under the page and carefully applies flour paste with a needle to the torn area. With Cadiz''s guidance, I do the same on another page. Once the glue is applied, the paper is placed on the page and gently stroked from the repaired area outward. In some cases, heat is applied with a trowel. The binding strings have been cut and the book is now in pieces. I have put a sticky note on it so that the order will not be lost. Fortunately, there are no missing parts, so I just have to re-bind the book with new binding strings, put a new cloth on the spine, and it is ready to be used. "Well, I heard that there was a time when the evil god and the god of darkness were considered to be one and the same, but it seems to be true. In the process, the Dark God became misanthropic and disappeared from people''s lives." "It seems from this picture book that the counterpart, the God of Light, also vanished, saying that it makes no sense for him to be alone." "If you make a statue of a god, it will soon be broken. That is why neither light nor darkness is enshrined in temples today. In the temples, one can sometimes obtain the attributes of light or darkness, but that is the only connection between the two deities. "So the god of darkness goes to an unpopular place, leaving behind <>." Are they hurt by what people have done to them? "Did it say anywhere that the moon goddess is the god of darkness?" Cadiz raises one eyebrow at my words. "No?¡¡I didn''t write about it, but I did encounter it dancing. I was told by a friend that the faintly glowing spot left in its wake is called ." "How do you know it''s the Dark God?" "I''m not sure if that''s what you want to call it, but I got the [blessing]. The attribute that is enhanced was [darkness]." And later I got the spirit of darkness. "Blessed by the Dark God ......?" "Yeah. I thought you could get them if you ran into them.¡¡Well, maybe it''s a god who is a household deity of the Dark God." At the time I thought there were only gods corresponding to the attributes, but now that I know that there are gods of forging and other gods, I''m beginning to think that maybe it was really the Moon God, as everyone says. Galahad and the others'' reaction to the moonlight stone when I mentioned the god of darkness was also pleased with it, so I didn''t really see it in that way. "No, if the blessing they got was darkness, then it was the god of darkness. The goddess of the moon ...... appears in places where people don''t come and disappears as soon as she is seen. I have read many books on this subject, but this is the first time I know that the Moon Goddess is the God of Darkness. Under what circumstances did you meet her?" I will give Cadiz a brief summary of the situation. Now I wonder if I would not have received the blessing if I had been able to come without any problems when I called Ochazuke and the others. It was a close call. "It seems that the conditions are that you are alone and that you have something of the attributes of darkness and light. "It would seem so." "I guess it was unknown because no one had ever been crazy enough to go alone to a place where people don''t go before. It is true that the Moon Goddess has always been mentioned by witnesses who seem to be more than one. So the god of darkness, who is said to have vanished from the earth, is still thinly connected to this world. Cadiz looks very emotional. She had never seemed so religious before. I received a picture book and went outside, and received a text message from Ochazuke. He told me to meet him because we were going to the labyrinth in the labyrinth city. I texted him back that I would be waiting for him at the labyrinth city, and we went to the east and west avenues to go to the temple. I paid 40,000 shillings and moved to Barron, which is called the Labyrinth City. ......

Now that you are registered, you can use magic to move next time. I am glad that 40,000 shillings is a lot of money. The temple in the labyrinth city looks more rugged than the other temples, as if it were hewn out of stone and piled up as it is. They do not have windows for lighting like the temples we visited in Fast and Isle. The ceiling is high and as wide as the large masonry, so that candles on the walls are not enough to provide light, and it is dark even in the daytime. The hall of worship, which is surrounded by statues of deities, was lit by a red bonfire with a statue of Asha, the fire god of war and rebirth, in front of the entrance from the corridor. As the labyrinthine city is naturally full of adventurers, Asha is probably the most revered of them all. We buy candles sold at the entrance of the shrine for the number of statues of the god and offer them at the foot of the statues. I don''t stop to pray at each of them, but considering the source of the candles, I think I should buy at least the minimum number of candles. The temples in the labyrinthine cities are not necessarily built by orphans. The candle is lit from a candle that someone has offered first, and the candle is placed at the foot of the statue of the god. It was when I offered a candle to the statue of Asha. I looked up and saw the great man in bikini in front of me. He wasn''t here a moment ago, was he? The light from the bonfire and the candles brightened only there, while other places were rather dark, but I could clearly see the face that was supposed to cast shadows. Not only the face, but also the beauty of the magnificent reddish-bronze body can be seen. He is even taller than Galahad. And boomerang pants that look familiar. Yes, macho is macho, but not in the bodybuilder kind of way, but in the practical kind of way. And well balanced...what you would get if you added a swimmer''s muscles. But but!¡¡I don''t care if it''s a work of art, I have no taste for looking at moving pantyhose muscles! Do you think I''m encountering too many pantyhose?¡¡Is it my imagination?¡¡It''s Leo''s fault! With my mind still in a state of shock, I turn my eyes away from the man in the pantyhose and try to turn my body to quietly exit the hall of worship. "Hey, human! I was doing my best to pretend not to see him, but he was talking to me! "I''m against perverts!" He says nothing and runs for the exit. I do my best, but for some reason I can''t seem to get any closer to the exit. "Who''s a pervert?" They grab me by the clothes between my shoulder blades and lift me up. The pervert has me! I don''t feel any tugging from being hung up, more like being floated. I am Asha, God of Fire, and I have a question for you. He was a god, even though he was a pervert. "Put some clothes on for now. I have no taste for one-on-one encounters with naked men. And it''s usually perverted to show up in front of someone you don''t know with your panties on." "MU......" My appeal seemed to have gone through, and Asha put on a robe. I''m glad we could communicate. Well, I''m wearing pantyhose underneath. "What on earth does Asha, god of fire, want to ask me?" "You know Phal, god of water, don''t you?" Then he turns his red eyes on me. "I have met Faru, the god of water, at the Fountain and he has given me his blessing." I almost called her a sorry goddess. "Fal is obsessed with your nakedness." I crumpled to the floor with a headache, a fact that was both surprising and predictable. "Oh, you didn''t give up yet, did you? "Well, I don''t mind if Phal wants to see a man''s body, as he always does. Get ready!¡¡Remedy!" "The question is, why is he so obsessed with you? I have more muscle than you. Why does Fal want to see you naked?¡¡What''s the difference?¡¡Take it off!" "I''m not taking it off!¡¡Why do you care what Falu likes?" "I want to be obsessed with Phal too." ...... Is there romantic feelings among the gods? "Maybe the reason you were naked earlier is because you''re always dressed like that to show Far ......?" "Yes." "............" "At first, though, he was happy to touch my pecs and stuff." I have a bit of a headache again. That''s a good expression to use at a time like this, I have a headache. I don''t like to use it. "I think the only reason I got attached to you was because you didn''t take your clothes off." "You didn''t take off your clothes in front of Fal?" "I don''t take my clothes off. I think you want to see them because they are hidden, and I think you should usually keep them hidden. If you want to show it, show your collarbone or your breast a little." I almost say "thighs," but then I realize it''s a woman in a skirt. In Asha''s current attire, her legs would be visible. "Hmmm, come to think of it, you''re pretty well dressed, aren''t you? No, I think robes and coats are common attire for adventurers. Is it because of the collar?¡¡Why am I preaching about chirality with God? I think it is better to have underwear or bare skin that can be seen at any moment than to have an overtly s*xual approach. I want to see it all in the end. I want to be the only one who sees it. I don''t just want to look at it, I want to touch it. ...... No, I don''t care what my proclivities are. Asha tries to practice how to do it naturally, I wish she would go back and do it in front of the mirror. "Hmm, I''ll do that." "You have a well-proportioned body and muscles, and I''m sure Fal will want to see you when you''re properly dressed. Finally, Fal will undress you." I think there is something wrong with the sentence, but I think it''s okay if I''m starting to throw it out there. "Thank you for your help. In return, I give you my blessing and something useful for you." Asha is in a good mood. She politely left with a bottle of sake as a souvenir. Please don''t ask me for love advice. I got the title [Asha''s Blessing]. [fire magic] changed to [fire magic]. I got the title [Asha''s Glimmering Instructor]. Skill [Burning Magic] has been acquired. was acquired. Wait . What''s the flicker instruction? Where am I going? [Asha''s flirtatious instructor] A title obtained by consulting with Asha Hijigami. I encounter glimpses and glimpses of a woman. Sometimes a lucky break? If you have Fal''s Blessing or higher, your likability will increase. A correction is added. Reading the description made me want to get down on the floor again. What do the gods want with me? As I stood there feeling indescribable, I received a clan conversation from Ochazuke, who had moved to the other side of the room, asking where I was. I tell him in simple terms that I am moving to the exit of the temple and start walking. The clan conversation is left on, so everyone knows that we have all been transferred. The reason for their presence is that all three of them were worried about Shin and Leo''s money and were waiting for them to come to the fast gate. As it turned out, their worries were right on target. It seems that Ochazuke has lent them the sills for the transfer, since they all want to see the new field together. The labyrinth of the labyrinth city has only one official entrance. Sometimes the floor structure changes, and the enemies are basically the same, but the previous map becomes useless. The only thing that remains the same is the boss floor. In each room where the boss is defeated, there is a rest point set up by the previous adventurers, and you can return to the entrance of the labyrinth by transferring. Once you have activated a rest area, you can transfer from the entrance to the rest area. The route branches off at each level, and no one has reached the lowest level yet. Even if the level is the same, the difficulty level may vary depending on the route. The current record is up to the 64th level <. However, the actual record is up to the 60th level, which is the result of avoiding enemies by hiding and so on. In addition, <> and <> exist in the deeper levels. The <> and <> are routes that were discovered as a result of an oracle, and no one has actually confirmed their existence. This is what Eagle, who was a bit suspicious to be called tipsy, told me after Galahad got drunk, while Camilla was tangling with him. "It is said that the timing of the labyrinth changes depending on the number of people who have reached that level, or that there is no other rule, but there are certain conditions under which the labyrinth always changes. That is to try to set up a permanent resting place other than the boss''s room. Therefore, you should not easily set up permanent wards." Those that expire in a few hours seem to be OK. But first, of course, you must have wards. I wonder if I should go to the magical city of Isle to learn warding. I remember thinking that as I listened to the conversation. I noticed that Ochazuke was waving at me at the entrance of the temple. "Sorry, did I keep you waiting?" "You were praying again, weren''t you?" "Mm." "Oh, by the way, I finally got a star!" "Oh, good for you!" Shin has finally solved the riddle of the temple. I don''t think it took him that long, though, since he wasn''t totally devoted to it. We went out of the temple to the Adventurers'' Guild. The entrance to the labyrinth is located at the end of the city, on a cliff with a bare rock face. It is surrounded by high walls, and the front gate is not opened except when there is a great strike by the state or guild, and the only way to enter the walls is through the Adventurers'' Guild building on the left or the knights'' quarters on the right. Usually, a city develops around a castle or a temple, but in this case, the labyrinth is the center of the city. The adventurers'' guilds, temples, inns, armorers, apothecaries, etc. are gathered at the entrance of the labyrinth. The closer to the entrance of the labyrinth, the older the shops are. However, the ones that started their business in the early days, although they are old establishments, their stores are too small to accommodate the many adventurers who visit them nowadays, and they have opened branches in the new town, which was built outside the walls of the old town and has a wider area. The stores in the old town deal with special customers and special products. The old town is called the first quarter and the new town is called the second quarter, and it is said that it is a kind of status to have a store or live in the old town. I was wondering why they had to go to all the trouble of crowding together in such a small area, but I was convinced that the first area looked more quaint and nice. Narrow alleys are fun to walk through. "Shall we take a rest at the inn?" "Ah, I don''t know how long it will take, so I''ll reset it once." "So, no." "It''s kind of halfway through the day, but let''s make adjustments. "Oh. I had to go to the bathroom.¡¡I''ve never heard an alarm before!" "Hey!¡¡I''m not about to let you force me to do that. Get the hell out of here! In the meantime, you have five minutes in the real world before you are forced to log out. If you do not log out voluntarily and safely within the 40 minutes or so in our time, you will be dropped without question, even if you are in combat. In order to log Leo out, he rushes to the inn in the first quarter, takes a room, and logs out. It is a waste of an old, quaint, and quite nice inn. The <> is a white mask that covers the upper half of the face, and as you look at it, you can see flickers on the surface that seem to reflect flames, and sometimes white flames emerge from the mask and disperse. It is not hot, but it is a little startling. The special effects are disorientation, inspiration and exaltation of oneself and one''s comrades in battle, and awe of enemies. STR, VIT, and AGI of you and your companions are increased by 3%, and STR, MID, and DEX of your enemies are decreased by 3%, overlapping with the effects of other skills and meals of the same type. The mask is not considered to be the same person as before, regardless of whether the user hears voices or sees half of the face. The person is recognized as the same person either by putting on and taking off the mask in front of you, or by saying his/her own name while wearing the mask. Asha said something useful to me. This means I am to wear the mask when I am solo! ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ...more... Title [Asha''s Blessing] Asha''s flicker instructor.

Select Each "Hey, what about the two of you, you don''t even have money for lodging here?" At the dinner table at the end of the break, a couple of us who were short of money were given a tea-soaked tea. We ran into the nearest inn for Leo, a long-established inn in Ichinokaku. While Ochazuke was making a lump-sum payment, Leo was shown to his room first, jumped into bed, and logged out. I don''t know the details in the room since I was present at the time of payment, but he seemed to be in a great hurry. "That''s too expensive!¡¡10,000 shill." "Well, it''s probably the most expensive hotel in the country." "It''s old, but well-maintained. The food is made of rare ingredients. "We didn''t even have time to go to the second wall, so we''ll just give up." This is still a cheap room. "No, no, before that, you owe Homura the entire clan registration fee, don''t you?¡¡I lent you all the money for the transfer, didn''t I?" ...... Huh? "Less than 10,000 shillings in your pocket? I paid Leo for the fish, not Shin, didn''t I?¡¡Where the hell did he go! "Boom!¡¡I was wondering if either of you had lost the money for it." It''s terrible! Surprisingly, both of them had less than 10,000 sil from the beginning. Leo has used up all the money he should have had after the clan was liberated. No wonder Ochazuke complains so bitterly. It seems that it is not for nothing that this inn started as an inn for adventurers, and they serve meals even at odd hours. The rooms were originally large rooms for high and low ranks, but have been remodeled, and the newly remodeled rooms are inexpensive by comparison. I recalled something unnecessary, such as the fact that in the real world, an Arab royal family once made the news for allegedly overcharging for a room that cost 3 million per night. I wonder if the rooms in the Isle are at that level. "By the way, Homura and Lengard are recognized as a system on the bulletin board. "System certified?" "I think it started when people were suspicious of the fact that the consignment sales were mixed with items that players were not likely to be able to make at the moment, and that there were a wide variety of dishes that for some reason could not be sold at such high prices, and that all of them had high ratings. And since it was linked to the event of a date with the receptionist of the adventurer''s guild, I thought that the consignment might be mixed with the system sales. What did you do?" "Aside from medicine and alchemy, I have a feeling that Homura was just selling whatever she felt like." That''s right. "Oh, and there was also the <>." "What a hilarious thing to do!" "Maybe if you commented back on the comments when you were buying and selling, you wouldn''t be mistaken?" "I''d like to make a mechanical comment that''s a little off, to help promote the system sales theory." I won''t do it because it''s too much trouble. "Okay!¡¡Let''s do something to help!" Leo declared with a nice smile on his face. "I''m kidding, right?" I''ll nail him to the wall. The party conversation is completely inaudible to the outside world, but the clan conversation is heard as if consonants are missing from the surroundings, and the strength and weakness of the voices are transmitted as they are, so the content is inaudible but the atmosphere is noisy. Therefore, it is not very useful when searching for the enemy. There seems to be a request for modification, but I think it is a good thing that many people do not appear to face each other silently. "Oh!¡¡It''s been a while." Roy and his friends arrived just as we were making noise. "Are you just getting started?" "Yeah, we''re about to enter our first labyrinth. Are you just back?" After greeting each other, I answered Clau''s question and asked the other way around. "Oh!¡¡I lost, I lost." To which Roy cheerfully replies. "It''s tough, isn''t it?" "Because I chose to release the pain." "I fainted and went into a coma..." "The shield is gone and it''s collapsing!" The twins complement each other, wagging their long, wagging tails. Kaede momiji''s fur is a bright orange-red, and her eyes are golden. "Shields are hard on you, huh?" "I''ll never let you go." Your knuckles hurt like a fist in a fighting ring. "How does [pain release] feel?" "First of all, of course, it hurts. Not only the place where you are attacked, but also the leg you are stepping on hurts. The palm of my hand also hurts when I grip my shield and my fingernails dig in." "In fighting, if the ground is rocky or the footing is bad, the foot you step on will hurt, and if you hit at the wrong angle, your fist will hurt. There are compensations, and I can manage it depending on my status, but, well, it''s close to reality." "Ew." Shin looks uncomfortable at the mention of dawn. "It might be better for shield workers not to [release pain]. A healer like me doesn''t get attacked much, but if I''m frightened by the pain of a general attack, my recovery will be delayed. That''s why I let it collapse this time. "Attackers have to destroy parts of the body, and I don''t like the pain, but I''m the rear guard, so fortunately Roy takes most of the damage." "Did Clau also [release pain]?" I did. If you can''t stand it, I''ll put it back. He was so quiet when I first met him that I mistook him for a healer, but he''s quite bold, isn''t he? "In addition to [part destruction] and [training], there is also [resolve], which is enabled by [pain release]. "[Preparedness] affects skills through willpower." "If you are motivated, your skills, including recovery, will be more powerful, etc." The twins are followed by Shirayuri. "I don''t like the pain, even if it''s only 5% more. "We don''t like it either." "Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha." "Well, to each his own." I received a visitor invitation from Roy''s clan. Now I can talk to Roy and his clan by switching the clan conversation to Roy''s [Kronos]. Visitor. I enter the Adventurers'' Guild right across the street from the inn. This guild does not handle requests or purchases, but specializes in managing the comings and goings of the labyrinth. All the normal operations of the guild have been moved to the new guild. The inn is located across the street from the new guild and the old guild that manages the labyrinth access. Only the Adventurers'' Guild has a new headquarters in the first quarter, across from the barracks at the entrance to the labyrinth. Well, it is only natural, since it is an organization essential to the management of the labyrinth, or rather, to the management of adventurers. It seems that the old apothecary, magic shop, alchemy, and repair shop were torn down and replaced by this new building. The four stores that were demolished were given separate lots in the first quarter and operate there. They also have a branch in Ni-no-kaku, which faces the main street and has a prime location in Ni-no-kaku. We headed for the adventurers'' guild at the entrance to the labyrinth. Upon entering the building, we saw a counter where we could see the office staff and three small counters that barely fit two people, and through these counters we could enter the labyrinth. The rightmost passage is for adventurers starting from the first floor of the labyrinth, and the third passage is for adventurers going to the floors below the fifth floor by the transfer line. The second middle passage changes to one of the reception desks depending on how crowded it is. The leftmost passage, between the small counter and the normal counter, is for returning adventurers. On the wall, there is a price list for each level of the transfer. "That''s a lot of money for a transfer! "Ugh!¡¡Fifty thousand for five layers! "100,000 for the tenth layer, and 10,000 for the first layer." I can''t use it!" Save your money quickly." "We don''t have any more money either. We headed for the counter, talking and laughing. We go through the right corridor, of course, and hold our guild cards over the black tablet at the counter. "You can get back to the fifth floor using the transfer line, but there is a boss there, so please take it easy and go back the way you came in the first place. "Thank you, I will." The guild official''s advice was heeded, and we walked out of the Adventurers'' Guild to see the entrance to the labyrinth beneath a towering cliff. Looking back to my right, I see a huge gate with iron bars and a sturdy thick gate of the same size beyond it. When we went out of the guild, we passed through two of the barred doors, but the staff member closed the one we passed through before the next one opened. I have not heard any stories of demons overflowing from the labyrinth, but I wonder if this is just to prevent them from escaping into the city. "Oh, it looks like the entrance to an abandoned mine. "It''s got a great atmosphere." Adventure! "The gate is huge." "Where are you looking when everyone else is looking at the dungeon?" "You''re always interested in the weirdest things, aren''t you?" When I gave my honest opinion, I received a shove. As usual, we enter the dungeon with a lot of gaiety. We''ve reached the labyrinth of the city of labyrinths. Please choose whether or not you want to [release pain]. "Kita." I''ll do it anyway. "Me too." "Me too!" "We don''t do it." "I don''t either." "I''m just gonna go with ''kaiho shiko kana,'' like..." "It''s all in Katakotsu." After the announcement of the acquisition of the title of [Painful Sensation Liberator], we proceeded to the dungeon with a thrill of [Painful Sensation Liberator]. The first enemy we encountered was the High Goblin. They are smarter than goblins and attack in coordination. "Gee, my knuckles really hurt! "It must be tough to be a bare-knuckle fighter." What?¡¡Me? I''m fighting with magic, what''s wrong?¡¡The cave is too small. "Well, you know, Kikuhime hasn''t [pain release] yet, and the fight against the small fry is going on as usual." Ochazuke calls Leroux while saying so. In no time at all, it turns into a theater of friendly fire. Just a few minutes ago I was thinking that the High Goblin''s coordination was pretty good. The trick is to lead the attack of the enemy who is [charmed] to the one that Kikuhime is tagging, or to sink the one who is hit the most in a friendly fight. If it''s not a physical attack like the mushroom poison, it won''t cool down from the charm, but as you''d expect, hitting them will bring them back to their senses. "Leroux is as bad as ever." "Hmmm...but the new skill Leroux learned wasn''t a charm type, so if an enemy higher than Leroux comes along, it might not take?¡¡I think I''m just about there now." "Spirits are quite powerful and useful, but in everyday combat, you can only call them once per battle to wait for the recast (recast), so it''s hard to raise them." "I think I''m one of those people who uses it a lot, but it doesn''t go up." The enemies near the entrance were just high goblins, but as you went deeper, high goblin mages and generals appeared as promised. You proceed, knocking off the occasional blood-sucking bat. "I think I''ll get a [throwing] gun..." "You didn''t take it?" I don''t have enough skill points. I didn''t take it because I heard that you can learn [Ki Bullet] or something, but now I only have long-range [Fire Magic]. "Why don''t you take [leaping]?¡¡You don''t need skill points to get experience." "Well, I''ll see what I can do to get it. "Shin can use fire, so he might be okay, but there are enemies that are strong against blows, so I recommend [projectile] with a penetrating attribute." "It''s a strong specialization, but if you''re going to be going from place to place, you might want to take it as an insurance policy. I mean, you don''t want to raise your level of [fire magic], do you?" Ochazuke is predicting Shin''s behavior, Shin, who used to <> his fist with [fire magic], seems to have neglected the magic since he got the skill [flame fist] which he acquired from it. The progress still seems to be tensionless, but there are three invaders, and if the need arises, all of them can heal themselves with the spirit of water. The only problem is that the firepower is not enough, but the shield of an elf, two attackers of Thief type, a magic swordsman, and a H! The other two attackers are not so strong. It is a matter of avoiding surprise attacks by searching for them and recovering frequently when they are hit. "Oh, I found a staircase! "Oh, really." "What do we do?¡¡Shall we fill the map?" "I think the first floor is fine." "Well, let''s keep going." "Okay, okay." That''s why we''re on the second basement. We eat on the stairs before proceeding. Since we can''t set up a dining table on the stairs, we prepared something easy to eat. A thin steak grilled for Shin, cut into two, and sandwiched between fried onions and sunny lettuce-like leaves. There is a normal egg sandwich, a sunny lettuce sandwich with bacon and a half-boiled fried egg, an anchovy pesto and cheese sandwich, and a tomato, roast ham and lettuce sandwich. I prepared several kinds of sandwiches and served them with milk and orange juice that I got in Sekan. "Wow, the meat is delicious! "Oh, but the meat on its own is supreme ......!" "Anchovies, this salty taste is so good." "The egg sandwich is fluffy, isn''t it?" "...... mogogogu." "Don''t talk with things in your mouth, don''t force me to tell you what I think!" That being said, I would like you to keep telling me how good it tastes because it will make me feel better about cooking the next meal. The 10 rating meal comes with a status boost, and in other people''s parties, or rather, in my own, they usually choose the food that gives them an advantage in battle according to their occupation, but I don''t go through with it. In dungeons and before bosses, it seems that healers usually eat salads and other vegetable dishes that increase their spirit, and shields usually eat bread and other grain dishes that increase their durability. If it tastes good, it will motivate you! ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ More...

"Let''s check the crate at the end of the street." Peter opens the lid of the crate, pulls out the contents, and holds them up for all to see. "It was an EX potion. "Is a wooden box a treasure chest ......?" "I bet the deeper you go, the more it looks like a treasure chest, maybe." The EX potion went directly to Peter. We have finished the second floor and are now exploring the third basement floor of the labyrinth. I was worried when I heard that Roy and the others had returned from the dead, but things are going surprisingly well. The enemies are H!? The enemies are a lot of H! The enemy is stable without being cut off too much. I guess the reason of their defeat is that they couldn''t go as usual because of the pain. I was wondering why. "......!" I''m in pain! "Haguah!" "A-ha-ga-ga-ga!" It hurts. A goblin sorcerer slips past Leroux''s [Charm] and unleashes a total magic attack. The four attackers who had released their pain senses were in tears. I drop my wand, Peter falls to his knees, Shin cower, and Leo jumps to a remote position. My hands are somewhere between inflamed and burned. They are not keloids, nor are they serious. However, the pain I''m used to in the real world is at best a bump on the little toe or something like that. Some people may have broken bones, but it is not that frequent. "That''s it, is this a dungeon to get used to the pain?" The bar had not decreased much. The oatmeal restores the bar. The redness of the skin disappears and the pain goes away. Not even a mark remains. "I''ll do my best!" With a useless attacker at her back, Kikuhime takes on the enemy. Fortunately, only one of the sorcerers was not affected by Leroux''s charm. "If you don''t defeat the Sorcerer quickly, he''s going to do total magic again! "It hurt so much I want to slump on the ground right now. £¡£¡£¡£¡" Saying this, Shin kicked him with tearful eyes. I charge and release without much popularity. Peter and Leo throw a projectile, not wanting to get close. I overkill the goblin sorcerer and sink him. "Ouch!" "It''s too tight! "Give it up." "Wahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha." "Ouch ...." "It''s only supposed to hurt for a second!" After that, Leroux was sealed by Ochazuke, who told us that we should get used to it because it was probably a stage to get used to the pain, and the four attackers were screaming. The damage was so painful that they could not move even if they had left it unattended without recovery. < After all, Ochazuke is applying recovery to four people by himself in addition to Kikuhime, the shield, which would not have been necessary before, and it is sometimes unpredictable when he will be able to recover. It is a matter of course that the next attack of the enemy will prioritize the recovery of the members who are really in danger while the recovery does not go to you. "I guess your hair and eyes are fine." "I hope the fireball doesn''t give you an afro." "Don''t get your hopes up!" You ask the questions you notice, and the conversation begins the day after tomorrow. Again, it''s business as usual. Besides the general attack of the enemy, there is another problem. The goblin thief uses [steal]. Well, it seems to be limited to recovery medicine. After a certain period of time, the goblin thief will run away, and if you don''t defeat him during that time, he will escape with your items. Inevitably, the sorcerers and swordsmen who use general attacks must be defeated after them. "I''m glad I was prepared for this, even though I looked suspicious." Now I am fighting a battle with only my recovery medicine. I didn''t think the time for [theft prevention] would come so soon. "I think I''ll take not only the [theft prevention] one but also the [theft] one. It''s not cool to be the one who steals and be stolen from." Perhaps because of their quickness, Ochazuke and Kikuhime were able to steal as much as they wanted, but Peter''s goblin opponent seemed to have stolen a few times, although his stealing seemed to have been a dud. "I''m scared, so we''ll take it too." "I''ll take it too - I''ll cry if they take my equipment or something." "[Stealing] is more likely to succeed if it''s in a pouch and if it''s small. I don''t know if you can steal equipment at higher levels." "What?¡¡You''re going to make them strip!" "That''s romantic!" "Don''t put us together." Peter distances himself from Singh and Leo, who are starting to make a fuss. Leo seems to have decided to get [Steal]. I''ll let you know. Fast''s field boss has been defeated solo by Akira. "Oh, Akira Kun again. Those knights (N!?C) are very strong." "Wandering around looking for field bosses?" "That sounds like a lot of work." "I hope you have a strong N!C." "I think it would be better if we raise the level of the lower ones together, so that they can make up for their lacks and eventually become stronger." "Only in the Hikaru Genji project?" "Raising little girls." No, sir! I think you''ll meet more bosses if you come to the labyrinth than if you go looking for field bosses, but you''re dragging around Percival and the others who aren''t Shibainu ....... This story ended when the goblins appeared again. By the way, you will not meet any other party in the first three levels of the labyrinth. The first three layers are single party areas, which are treated like event fields and boss fields, and no other party can enter. Or rather, it seems that other parties are fighting in a different space with the same scenery and the same enemies, even if they pass through the same entrance. There is also an all-party area, which is described in the menu as a field where many parties exist in the same space. Up to the third layer, there were only goblins, whether it was a place to get used to the pain or not, but in the fourth layer, Nazr, a small yellowish, rugged monster about 30 cm long and 20 cm high, which looked like a ripe and yellowed bitter gourd with legs, came out of nowhere and ran into the foot of the enemy. They come. They are not very strong, but they are not so bad because they come even during a battle with goblins. "They are so annoying! "I''m getting sucked in, I''m getting sucked in!" They like to swarm shields and healers. Nazrul''s attack methods include rushing and sticking to H! (blood) sucking. "Wow, I don''t want to get stuck on him now! Shin looks at the two who are attached to Nazr with disgust. Since the [Pain Release], he is able to feel other unpleasant sensations as they are, except for pain, which has been weakened until now. The stagnant air in the dungeon, the humidity, the smell, the cold. It is not unbearable, but it is unpleasant. "I was once attracted to mosquitoes in a swamp, but now I really don''t like it." "I hate it too much." "Wa-ha-ha-ha-ha." It''s a wonder that it''s not better to be in pain. "Yeah, think of me as someone else''s problem!¡¡I''ll leave you to recover!" "Geez!¡¡Because it hurts!¡¡Stop hurting me!" Leo''s laughing. Come on, say you''re sorry! Shin, I''m sorry! You''re coming at me? "It''s too chaotic." At any rate, I do a simple job of magically disposing of the nazles that have gathered around Ochazuke and Kikuhime, while defeating the goblins. Unlike the goblins in the west of Fast, they have jobs, and if you try to stop Leroux''s [Charm], they use a total attack except for Sorcerer. "If I don''t [release pain], will the Nazr gather?" "Oh, that''s the one, not the job." "Isn''t it likely?¡¡If it was to adjust the difficulty level, it''s likely to come up on this floor and beyond." "It''s definitely not the usual way they boil." No matter how many times they are defeated, they always come out of nowhere. "Now, Homura is attacking the goblins while dispersing them with double magic, so I''m advancing normally, but without double magic, I''d have to be alone all the time to get rid of the nazles, wouldn''t I be in trouble?" "Well, if we can get Ochazuke to come closer to the group of enemies, he can work a ranged magic with the goblins, right?¡¡If we raise the level of [range magic] after that, we can go there without double or even double casting?" "I''m going to recover by getting close to the enemy, am I?¡¡Can you raise the range quickly?" "If you get too close, you''ll get hit by the enemy''s forward or backward ranged attacks, right?" "Oh, oh, oh, oh!" "Resistance! Cries of "Leo and Shin," who had been fighting behind the enemy, rose up. "What?" "[Pain resistance]!" "Huh?¡¡You [release pain] and then you can''t feel it again?" It''s not that it''s a total disaster, or that we shouldn''t have done it in the first place. He is talking and fighting his enemies. "It''s painful, but it''s like you can make calm decisions without being distracted by the pain, or you don''t lose your weapon or something. "...... isn''t that something that comes eventually if you experience pain ......?" "Well, maybe it''ll speed things up." Peter, who had been fighting on the oatmeal side, unlike usual because of Nazr''s follow-up, and I got the same thing after a couple of rounds. But the effect was not so great! "Stairway to the big bottom." Only the boss. "You''re the boss." "That looks like a painful attack." "Oh, I''ll give you back your medicine." Thank you, thank you. Well, before we go, E! We decided to have a meal to recover. It was a little cold, so I had hot minestrone, a hot sandwich, and grilled sausages on skewers. "I need a tray. Get one at Sir." We ate sitting on the stairs with two lights floating. Peter and Leo are sensing a presence above and below, though they think that no one will come from the fifth basement level. I want a cushion. "We''ll make cushions." "Are there any sausages of normal size here?" I haven''t seen any pigs. Why pigs? "The thin ones are sheep''s intestines, the big ones are cow''s intestines." "Ah!¡¡I see!" Fagat has some information about pigs, I''d like to get some ingredients. We add getting pork as one of our future plans while having after-dinner coffee. "Was Shin''s sausage a flag?" "Shin''s sausage is between your legs?" "I''ll have the beef, please." You''re so vulgar! "Can''t Shin and Leo shut up for a second?" The boss of the fifth layer was an orc. A dark greenish skinned, nearly three meter tall mass of muscle and fat was in the middle of the room holding an axe in his hand. The place looks like a cave made wider, but for the sake of convenience, I''ll call it a room. It is the boss''s room. The room is swallowed by darkness above, and stalagmites, some as small as twice my height, protrude from the ground. "I''m told that the idea that orcs look like pigs started with a misunderstanding, and in fact the boss in front of me doesn''t look like a pig at all." "I don''t want them to make sausages from the intestines of that oak." That bothers me too. "I still don''t feel any tension..." I wonder whose fault it is? ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ...increase...

At first, a loud [roar] that felt like wind pressure. It may be an intimidating skill, but when it hits the target, the target stiffens. Then, he cleaves the axe to the side. I don''t know how it works, but a sideways cleave attack in the forward direction hits everyone who fails to hide behind a stone, no matter which direction they are in, and kills them. And then the orc knocks down one of the stone pillars. Before the roar comes, the H! Avoid [Roar] and [Side Cleave] by hiding behind the stone pillar, and if you fail to escape and are hit, recover while the orc knocks down the stone pillar. We were almost killed by the first unprotected [roar], and we narrowly avoided being annihilated by taking an activator, a [recovery] of oatmeal, and a recovery potion for each of us. If we had not recovered with the active medicine, we might have experienced fainting for the first time. And we would not have been able to move if we had not recovered to the halfway point with the recovery potion. It was close. "How can you move? "Oh, man, that''s scary." "If you don''t move, you die. If you don''t move, you die." "Either you die because you can''t get to the rock, or you die because the rock is gone." Peter adds to my words. "I can move, but my ability to think is dead." Me, self-reporting. The room is dark, so I can''t tell the difference visually, but the four attackers, including myself, must look terrible. With night vision, I can see only a hint of color on sepia, and it is difficult to distinguish light colors. After experiencing that pain, I feel frozen just by looking at the orcs'' every move. The magic that used to work in any state of mind does not work. I wonder if this is a part of the fact that the power of my skills is affected by my emotions when I use the "pain release" function. Fortunately, I can cast it without chanting, so I can manage if I can concentrate for a moment and forget the "pain". If I can overcome the pain, it is not only a bad thing to feel pain. The problem is that I am not sure if I can get over this battle as well. "Hey Leo, you''ve been learning real martial arts for a while now. I can''t!¡¡Stop it right there!" "If you want to talk about a lot of injuries, Shin-san!¡¡I''m used to pain." Stop it, I''m sickly! "Don''t use that creepy back voice with the beard!" I think it''s great that you can crack a joke even when it''s hard. "Well, I''m sorry I''m stuck here, but I''m stuck too, so do something about it." "I wish you could do something for me, too. The next thing I knew, Ochazuke and Kikuhime were in a heap of trouble with Nazr. They look like a bunch of dried corn on the cob in Latin America. I had thought that Nazuru must have been in the boss''s room because I saw him out of the corner of my eye, but I was so serious about avoiding him that I didn''t notice the two of them being pushed to their limits. Since only one person can hide in each stone pillar, and the number of hiding places decreases from the position closer to the orcs, in the latter half of the game, some of us have to run to a stone pillar far away from the orcs when they [roar]. In the case of our party, it is Peter and Leo who aim at the pillar in the distance with the unspoken understanding that they are the only ones who can run to the pillar. As for the timing of escape, Peter or Ochazuke will call out to us, although I myself watch the preliminary movements of the orcs before their [roar]. If Leo and Shin are delayed in escaping and are attacked near the pillar, Ochazuke''s recovery cannot reach them, so I or Peter, whichever is closer, throws a recovery medicine toward them. At first, the oatmeal was able to reach everyone at the escape point, but as the number of pillars has decreased and the escape points have become more distant, there are places where the oatmeal cannot reach. Peter took care of escaping to the farthest stone pillar, but he received only one [roar] at the first time when all of them were hit. He is a man with no flaws. Is he okay with the pain?¡¡Why can you move normally?¡¡Are you M? "Move it!" Singh scores a combo. After a low kick combo and a few fists, he finishes with a quick kick that looks like a hanging kick covered in flames. Fighting combos are cool. "Oh, did you succeed in destroying the body part?" "Oh?¡¡That''s a first!" The orc seems to have broken his left leg by Shin''s combo, and is stuck there. He is swinging his axe around a lot, but no [roar] comes and the axe doesn''t reach us. "Orcs are usually very resilient, so let''s get to it before it regenerates." Yes, sir! I''ll let you know. The labyrinth basement 5th floor floor boss < has been defeated by Leo and 5 others. . The title [Defeater of the Labyrinth of the Supersurmounted] has been obtained. I got the skin of an enraged orc x4. I have obtained the pork of the enraged orc x5. I got a hatchet of enraged orcs. I have the magic stone of the enraged orc. I got the black iron x10. I got the ring of strength +3. "Pork ...... meat?" "Pork." "Orc pig meat." Oak meat. "We, by skin and hair." "Likewise. Good job on the flag! "Wait, don''t try to stuff me with oak meat." "No, no, no. It''s just some pork that an orc happened to have. Pork. "Isn''t it delicious?¡¡Pork." "I''m making you dinner, but you have to give me the food!" "We got our first kill, but the pork is taking all the attention away from us." Ochazuke''s words shift the topic of conversation from pork to the joy of a first defeat. The pork has been pressed, and will be cooked and served to them. "Oh!¡¡Yay!" "Who was that who came to the labyrinth, I thought there was another party." "The Flame King?¡¡It''s bad enough that we don''t have all the recovery pills here, and I think we failed." Leo is a celebrity, isn''t he? "Wahahahaha!¡¡It hurt so bad I hardly did anything!" "Is <> only for making accessories or incorporating into weapons and armor?" is a milky white gem with a faint rose color, not much bigger than the size of a fingertip. It is not that large, about the size of a fingertip, and its ability would be better suited as an accessory than as a weapon or armor that is constantly being renewed. "Oh, the effect lasts! Recovery..." "Progress is being made when used in conjunction with Homura''s active medicines!" "Production that can''t fail." "Oh, I heard there''s a skill called [Dismantling].¡¡It''s a skill to disassemble finished products and return them as items, but even if it can be disassembled, only half of the materials are returned, and what remains is random." "I thought of dismantling a pig." "I''m back to being a pig." "[The conqueror of the labyrinth] will have for the party and the rare drop rate in the labyrinth will increase?" "I''m in!¡¡I''ll do it!¡¡and the treasure''s all there!" I thought the exuberance was just your average Leo. "Does that mean I''m not going to let the pain get the best of me?¡¡I''m sure the treasure will go up by .01% or something, so don''t get your hopes up." "The original drop rate is .0001%!¡¡It reminds me of a previous game like that. I was only a [Labyrinth Defeater]. We are also indentured servants. "I don''t know if I''m [pain free] or not..." "Well, what do we do now?¡¡Shall we go on?¡¡Do you want to go back?" I want to go back and rest at the inn. "I got sucked up by a yellow thing, so I feel like taking a bath..." "Well, let''s take a break and come back later." "Are you okay with paying to go to the labyrinth and back?" All but Ochazuke froze at my words. "We can either keep going, or we can get out and start from the beginning. "Oh, please start from the beginning. I''ll [release pain], Nazr, you''re annoying." "Likewise, I''d like to start from the beginning. I''ve got Pain Tolerance, but I''d like to get used to it on this level." "When will [Pain Tolerance] be effective?" "Well, I''m pretty sure I wouldn''t be able to move if I had that injury in real life, so I guess it''s working." "I wonder." "Most of the time, if you don''t have a level, it''s because we''ve made sure you''re rewarded for your efforts." "Thank God I didn''t need skill points!" "I''ll cry if I have to spend points on skills that only come out of [pain release]!" Skill points are now at 3. I''ll save them. Well, let''s go out and register our transfers. In the bathtub. On the opposite side of the cave from where we had fought the orcs, there was another short cave with a dead-end staircase leading down, and a small room with a transfer station nearby. The passageway leading out of the boss''s room was slightly brightly lit, and the walls and floor seemed to glow faintly, just like the dungeon we had visited before. "Oh, so you can talk to clans here, even though I couldn''t get through as soon as I entered the labyrinth." "Hmm?¡¡Kronos''?" Ochazuke apparently didn''t switch over to Kronos''s clan conversation and left it as is. "Yes. I wondered if they were trying for the second time, but they''re getting excited about our defeat. I should say hello to them, since it''s better to listen to them in silence. "Oh, let''s join the clan conversation." Ochazuke: I''m back! Homura: I''m home. Roy: Oh? Kikuhime: I''m back, aren''t I? Peter: I''m back w Leo: wahahahaha! Momiji: Welcome back! Kaede: Welcome back~! Shin: Alive again! Clough: Thank you for your hard work, and congratulations on your defeat! Shirayuri: Welcome back, congratulations! Dawn: Are you safe? Ochazuke: You are safe. Momiji: The message of defeat came out! Kaede: Of course I''m safe! Peter: I''m going to go to the inn now, rest, and go back to the beginning again. Homura: Training Roy: Oh, well, tell me about it at the inn. Leo: Oh! Leo answered, "Yes. Don''t we have to move to the inn in the second quarter?" I ask casually. "Oh." Well, you know what? I guess it will be a long time before I get my money back. ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ Level +1 More...

"Yes, yes, have a good day." Next, me." We paid the lodging fee and got a room, just me, Kikuhime, Ochazuke, and the three of us. When I left Kikuhime for the room and went to the dining room, Roy and the others were there. I also saw some unfamiliar faces. "Oh!¡¡You''re here." "Hi." He lightly raises his hand to answer Roy and looks at Clough. Who are these people? "Welcome home!" "Welcome home!" They greet Peter and cling to him. "That''s the Lolita killer!" Shin muttered. "This is the Flame King, the first person to set foot in the labyrinth." Clough introduces the red-haired man at the next table. "He''s a representative of the party over there, and he''d like to hear about the strategy with you. "I''m the Flame King, nice to meet you." He was short but stout, somewhere between a boy and a young man, with fiery red hair that spread like a lion''s bill and reached down to his waist." The name "Flame" fits him well. "Strategy ......" "Strategy?" I had no idea what he was talking about when he said "strategy. Shin looked suspicious. "You don''t think I have a plan? Roy is surprised. "The boss usually hid behind a stone pillar, and the fastest person could go to the far stone?" It doesn''t sound like much of a plan if you''re familiar with the game. "No, what did you do on the way, or what did you do to prevent people from stealing medicines?" We introduce ourselves to each other, pull up a table and take our seats. The Flame King''s party members are at the next table, where they can hear the conversation, but do not seem to join in the conversation itself. They introduce themselves, but I''m not sure I can remember them. "Me and Chrysanthemum of the Shield haven''t [release pain] first of all. "Oops, that''s a bad premise." Dawn says. "But if you don''t have [pain release], the little things called Nazrul will gather and make it impossible to move, and it''s so depressing, so I''m going to go and release Kikuhime and myself from now on." Ochazuke explains. "If you haven''t [released the pain] of the shield, it''s not helpful, man." The Flame King is so ugly. He''s got a bad attitude. "The healer can heal the person who has [pain release], but he can''t heal the person who has not healed before. In the beginning, the pain will disappear even if the H! But if you take a lot of damage at once, recover as quickly as possible. ...... was the fact that the recovery didn''t come fast enough in the second half of the game intentional, rather than because the enemy got stronger and they were busy recovering Kikuhime?¡¡A new fact we will learn later. "What happened to the goblin bandits?¡¡We ran out of medicine and Roy couldn''t recover in time, so we knocked him out." "Oh, I''m sorry. Homura had [anti-stealing] on that side, so I just had Homura keep all the recovery medicine." "Well, it seems that even without theft prevention, it is hard to be stolen if you are fast. Why don''t you ask him to hold it for you?" "Also, it was a lot easier to take the <>!" Peter adds to Ochazuke''s explanation and Leo gives another piece of advice. "Yeah, if you recover even a little bit, the pain will be a little less and you''ll feel a little more comfortable. It also takes away the fear that the recovery will never come. "Life activation. I''ve seen it sold at the pharmacy in the labyrinth city (here), it doesn''t heal much, but if it helps, I''ll give it a try. The Flame King crosses his arms, wrinkles his brow, and thinks. "I guess you have to get used to the pain gradually, don''t you? Shirayuri says ruefully as she holds her coffee cup as if it were wrapped around her. "I don''t know how you guys managed to endure the pain and make it to the boss, even if you''re only attackers." "I had no choice but to do it because the two S''s told me to!" Who is only S! Kikuhime, who had just finished taking a bath and was approaching before I knew it, put her fist in Shin''s side. It''s a liver gouge. "Aaah!¡¡Ouch!" Shin screams and plops down on the desk, clutching his stomach. "Oh, [release pain], is the attack effective even in the inn?" "Dada dada dada dada dada!" Ochazuke pinches Shin to see if it hurts. Apparently, he can''t use his skills, but he can feel pain from a normal punch. And the Flame King and Roy and the others are a little taken back. Sorry, sorry. "Well, I''m going to take a bath." "I''ll be back later." Ochazuke pinches Shin and leaves him alone to take a bath. Don''t worry, it doesn''t go this far in the real world. But in the game, it''s business as usual, so don''t let it bother you. "This little thing is a shield. It doesn''t look like it can withstand the release. "I don''t like the pain, but I''ll give it a try." You didn''t like it that much, Nazr. I''d rather endure the pain than be swarmed by mosquitoes. "I''ve got a good title, you know." Shin slipped up. ¡î ¡î ¡î ¡î ¡î ¡î ¡î ¡î ¡î ¡î ¡î ¡î ¡î ¡î ¡î ¡î "Nice to meet you, man. I''m the Flame King, an offensive warrior. "I am a shield-oriented warrior and I am from the earth, thank you very much. He wears a nearly full-face helmet, so I can''t make out his face, but his chin suggests that he is a sturdy shield. "Krull the archer, hello! This one is a baby-faced boy with cat ears. His hair is cream-colored, and only the tips of his hair, ears and tail are red. I''m Gilweitzer, the fighter. Call me Gil. She wears bright red china, black trousers, and heavy knuckles, and is probably the tallest woman with red hair that is swept back. If she didn''t talk, she would look wild and handsome. "I''m Ochazuke, a holy priest, nice to meet you! "I''m Homura, the Magical Swordsman. Nice to meet you." Ochazuke goes through, so I kind of go through and greet him too. Yes, it''s a three-party shuffle search. The party with Kikuhime as a shield is Recovery A, and Leo, Shin, Momiji, and Wizard B as attackers. The party with Daichi as a shield has Ochazuke as a healer, Flame King as an attacker, myself, Krull as a bowman, and Gilweitzer as a martial artist. Party with Roy as a shield has Shirayuri as a healer, Peter as an attacker, Kaede, Clau, and Dawn. AB is a pseudonym. I couldn''t remember all the members of the Fire King''s party whom I had only met at the cafeteria, though I had introduced myself to the members of the party. I think Daichi probably took off his helmet in the cafeteria, but don''t underestimate my recognition ability, as I still have trouble distinguishing Kaedemomiji from the others. Well, Daichi''s hair must have been red too, maybe other members of the Flame King''s party were red, that''s all I know. And I changed my skills in a hurry when I could change the level of my skills at the cloaking level 30. I had erased all the production, but Roy and his friends knew about the cooking and the medicine, so I hid my specialties leaving the safe ones, and set the alchemy level to 1 so that it wouldn''t be strange if my specialties were left blank. I decided to lower the level of swordsmanship to make it look like I''m mainly a wizard. It is not likely that the players will be able to see this information that I have falsified, and even if the level of [Appraisal] is high, only the information that I have put on my guild card will be shown. And so we are back in the labyrinth. I take care of all the medicines purchased at the apothecary, and whenever the <> run out, I give them to each player, and return them all before the boss. I asked them to keep the same number of medicines when they were purchased at the apothecary because I could not remember them. I also exchanged the patka for the items. There were also three groups of dominatrixes who had come to take the full brunt of the high goblin attack. It''s a wonder I''m one of them. I wonder if it is because I would never suffer such pain in the real world that I am willing to take on the challenge. "Woah woah woah! Let''s go! Huh! "Let''s go!" He looks like a man who is ready for a fight, but he is hot in battle, the Flame King. Daichi seems to be doing his job without a care in the world. This is more of a flirtation thing than a real world thing, I get it. I don''t dislike it. I heal Ochazuke, and now Ochazuke who is out of pain heals all of us. Of course I am in pain too, but Ochazuke has just been "pain free" and is not used to it, and I am the one who should endure the pain and move. I will be patient here. "I have the right to live and die!" I hit the recovery medicine on the oatmeal while smiling broadly. I wonder if I have the qualities of an "S," as I enjoy hitting them as hard as I can. "That''s essentially my role!¡¡I''ll get it back!¡¡I''ll make sure you get it back!" Are you guys always like that?" I was doing the small-battle act, and the Flame King was appalled. Wait! So your hot-bloodedness is real? It''s business as usual. Give it up. "......Well, we''re only doing this if we work well together." The Flame King seems to have given up at my and Ochazuke''s words. "You can''t smile when you''re in pain like this..." I''ll open up the wound. "We''ll heal them all together, Ochazuke." I guess that''s me, huh? Thank goodness they have the mentality to laugh. Of course, there are times when the battle is slowed down by pain, but since this is the second time for both of us, we go on without any problems. < to heal the whole body. Because I missed the bath. I was ready to wait for the other members to take a bath, but I didn''t have the courage to make the other twelve members of the two parties wait for me. Let''s bring wind, fire, and light to this dank, damp cave!¡¡I was in the mood to use it, but the Flame King convinced me that I was using those three attributes as my main ones and that I was the opposite of Haruna, so it''s hard to say that other attributes are as good as Haruna. Haruna must be the magician who went to Kikuhime''s party. And then, they are safely in front of the boss. I''ll return the medicine. "Oh, thank you." "Oh?¡¡That''s how many I left. Didn''t you use some of them to heal us on the way?" I would have done it even if I didn''t have it. The way he used it while enduring the pain seemed to be quite difficult, so I ended up throwing the medicine to him and he was recovering. "You recovered quite well in the first half. "Well, until you get used to the pain, we''ll be good to each other." I''m sorry, it was just fun to throw a flask-like bottle of medicine and hit it. I just took [Throwing] so much. It was on the skill list a long time ago, so I only needed 2 skill points. "Mr. Homura, the other guys are seriously eating..." "Oh. Too late." I felt that way on the road. They didn''t stop at the stairs to eat leisurely like our party, and I saw them eating and drinking as they walked. They were sitting on the stairs to take a break because they were in front of the boss, but the other members were eating their own food according to their occupations. The other members are eating food that is appropriate for their occupations, such as grilled skewers and other things sold at street stalls where you can eat and drink as you move around. On the other hand, Ochazuke and I ignore the effect of the status increase and eat curry udon. The other members are already looking at us, probably because of the smell. "Think more T.O.! "Stop saying that while you''re slurping. I''m just as guilty. "Because it''s cold here, and the curry udon is delicious." "I guess we need a tray, as Chrysanthemum Princess says." Let''s go to the general store later." "No, if you have enough status, you are free to eat. The Flame King has a very complicated look on his face. "It smells so good!" It sure is a little chilly in here. Oops, it''s rare to hear Daichi open his mouth, his voice is low and nice, though his tone sounds like a self-defense officer. "I didn''t care about that before I was released from the pain. "You can have some if you want." "By all means, Nyah!" The curry udon seems to be well received. ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ More...

I wonder if curry udon makes him so conflicted. I don''t know. "Don''t worry about it. The Flame King is so serious. "<>" "I''m sorry, sir." The members of the Flame King''s party are always following him around, and he loves them. Although the first impression of the party was not so good, they did enough to turn around the impression by following and receiving the attack of the rear guard who slipped through the shield of the earth, while they were taking a lot of damage during the battle. It would have been painful to take without the shield. "<>. Don''t you have a chip on your shoulder? I don''t think there''s any conflict there." "Well, before coming to the labyrinth city. I''m leaning more and more toward doing it as seriously as I can." "I''m in a bad mood because I''m in a party with a strong resident. "The first time I did it, I went into it too much and it didn''t work out, so that''s why I''m depressed about it." When I think of strong inhabitants I can only think of Galahad, Galahad and his friends, and Shibainu (Percival) and his friends. "You''re so serious." Ochazuke, finish your curry udon first. I''ll follow up on the recovery, putting oatmeal and earth first, okay?" "Oh, I''ll manage. I''m able to move now as long as I don''t do more than half damage, and I have medicine, that''s all right." "I''m grateful for the title, it motivates me to move even when it hurts." "By the time we get here, I can move better than we did the first time, so it should be easy, the only problem is me." When it began, it was just as Ochazuke had said. The boss battle with [pain release], H! The team had already experienced a battle in which the H! They have been able to heal themselves and hide behind stone pillars from the very beginning. Of course, they sometimes stop moving depending on the amount of damage, but it is a far cry from our first time. Ochazuke said that the problem is only me, but this is more of a test for me. There was no way I could do it right the first time. My first time, Ochazuke did a good job of recovery, so I guess it was my turn this time. This time it will be my turn. I think so, but it is difficult to time my recovery while attacking. If I recovered too often, I would deprive her of the chance to get used to the pain, and if I recovered too late and Ochazuke got stuck, the whole recovery would be delayed, which would be bad. Ochazuke, how did you manage to adjust to this? "Aaah!" Daichi takes down the shield. What? "It''s in a state of [part destruction]!" For a moment, I thought I had done something wrong, but Daichi''s H! has a little time to spare. Does the player have a [part breakage] too?¡¡Ochazuke''s hasty recovery coincided with my throwing a recovery potion. He recovers, but he can''t pick up the shield in time. No, H!? I can''t move my arm even if it''s full? "d*mn it!" The Flame King intervenes. The Flame King, who does not have a shield, supports his great sword with both hands and takes the orc''s axe, but he cannot catch it and falls to his knees. He falls to his knees, and his H! "Oops! Ochazuke''s recovery. "I''ve had enough of this guy!" Gil''s barrage. My two light eagles. Mr. Gilweitzer, is that the real you? I''ve got five enraged orc skins. I''ve got four pork chops from the wrath of the orcs. I have the boots of the enraged orc. I got the magic stone of the enraged orc. I got the black iron x10. I got the ring of strength +3. "Clear!!!!!!!" "Yay!" "We did it!" "It was hard!!!!!!!" H!? I was surprised at the Flame King''s reduction of H! I am feeling that I can reveal my title and skills to this group of people as I listen to the announcement that we are clear. I lend a hand to the Flame King, who is sitting down while watching the four of us in high spirits. "Hmph, thank you! The Flame King looks away, perhaps embarrassed, but he grabs my hand and thanks me. The Flame King''s mood is softer than before we entered the labyrinth, and the members are happy to have cleared the labyrinth. No, I''m lying about the "Kyakkyaufufu". Gil''s presence and Kyakkyauufufu are scary. We are the first members who met and fought together for the first time today, but I feel a strong affinity with them because we have felt the pain together and helped each other. I don''t know what they think and what they do yet, but I feel that they will help each other and intend to help each other when the time comes. It''s a strange feeling. We returned to the inn, thinking that we can''t open sake for the celebration with three parties. The other parties had not returned yet, and we took a rest until they returned. We would have to go to the repair shop later. But in the meantime, we''d better take a bath this time! I fill the bathtub with hot water and when it''s half full, I''m already soaked. I''ll just have to re-fill it one by one anyway, so it doesn''t matter. As I get into the water, I feel a numbing sensation in my toes and realize that I am colder than I thought. The culture of the bath is wonderful. Roy and the others returned next, and they too seemed to have made it through. But Kikuhime and the others... "We failed. Kikuhime''s answer to Ochazuke''s question. She told us that Kikuhime had also suffered from [part destruction] and had lost her shield. "Ah, that happened to me too. But, well, it was safe because it was cut off before the next [roar] came. Roy said. The cause of the defeat was the lack of firepower, Leo and Shin were throwing recovery pills so hard that even when the shield was dropped, the orcs'' H! The reason for the defeat was the lack of firepower. Even so, he persisted by having the orcs destroy the shields, but he was not able to cut them down before the stone pillars were gone for all of them. "I made him take a lot of medicines to recover, but... I''ve been overzealous in my recovery! I''m sorry. "But I think we have achieved our goal of getting used to the pain, so I think we can clear it next time. Says the man who is a canonist. I''ll ask Princess Kikuhime to tell me her name later. "And we kept getting hit in the same position. Breaking] is caused by taking heavy damage in one place or continuously taking damage in the same place. "I didn''t think that taking damage with a shield also counts as continuous damage. Next time I''ll try to put a parry in the middle or change my posture. Also, I found a [resistance to damage] when using a shield called [Shield of Shield]. Only Kikuhime showed the resistance, probably because she had been fighting for a while after being destroyed. It seems that Roy and Daichi will have it next. "This one also gets its parts destroyed, but it might be a practice boss where you have to actively destroy two knees or other parts of the body. "I see, that may be so." I was so preoccupied with the pain." Kikuhime and her friends are going to take revenge again when they finish their desperation. We heard about it in the cafeteria and were free to go on our own. We could not launch the clear-up because it would be a one-sided failure since Kikuhime and the others had not completed it yet, and it was a somewhat awkward breakup. I had to work the late shift from noon, so I wondered for a moment whether I should go to bed and wake up early to work until noon, or stay up late and go to bed at dawn, but I decided to go to bed early because it was nighttime outside and I had to pay for lodging. I told everyone that I was going to go to my room, and as I was about to go to my room, the Flame King spoke to me. I wondered what was going on, but he asked me if I still had some curry udon. You like curry? I asked him if he wanted curry and naan or curry udon, and told him that I had also ordered curry buns on consignment, and gave him five free portions to commemorate my defeat. The alleged orc pig was a pure favor and I could not refuse. If I get a chance to ...... later, I''ll curry it up and give it back! By the way, the inhabitants of the labyrinth are aware of the distortion of time and space, and it is said that a day in the labyrinth may be less than an hour on our side, or on the contrary, several days may have passed. According to Ochazuke, "This is a countermeasure for players. Five minutes in the labyrinth is no longer 40 minutes, but four hours. But I thought that if you don''t go outside for a certain period of time, the time becomes closer to the real elapsed time, because you don''t want to stay cooped up in the labyrinth.¡¡It''s like we''re out of sync with the outside time. The labyrinth itself is not so wide or complicated in the shallow area as in this case, but the deeper the labyrinth, the more complicated it becomes and the longer it will take to conquer it. The deeper the labyrinth, the more complicated it becomes and the longer it will take to conquer it. The level of [thread] has improved a lot because I have been holding the staff in my dominant hand and manipulating the thread with the other hand. The length of threads I can handle has increased, and at level 20, I can make the threads disappear. I released the thread into the passage at the end of the labyrinth and tried to guess what kind of enemies they might be by picking up the sound and using [Presence Detection], but since only High Goblins appeared, the sounds were similar to each other. It might have been different if the warrior High Goblins had been wearing full-face armor, but they were basically half-naked, wearing only some armor that seemed to have been picked up at random. I crawl into bed, thinking that no magic has been left untouched. The bunks in the old inn are quite comfortable, and the sheets are soft to the touch. The pitcher of water on the side table is a magical device, but the water I sipped before going to bed was cold. When the lamp was turned on, the other lights in the room dimmed and went out. No electricity and no machine, but it is very convenient. 65 - The Mysterious City Walk Up early and logged in! I wanted to say, "I''m sorry, I''m sorry, I''m sorry," but I was defeated by the magic of the bedclothes. I woke up, but I couldn''t bear to part from the futon, so I lay in bed. Well, it''s not like I''m meeting anyone, so it''s okay. Labyrinth city. To the west, near the labyrinth, is the first quarter, where the old shops are located, to the east of the first quarter is the second quarter, a relatively new town, and to the south is the castle of the lord of the principality of Tarkant. The castle is not built on a hill or by the water, nor does it have a spire, so it looks plain, but together with the fortifications, it seems to be perfectly functional. To the north is the same bare rock cliff as in the west. The Principality of Tarkant is also called the Labyrinthine City State of Baron after its capital, Baron. This is because Baron is the only city in the country. The labyrinth was there, adventurers visited, merchants who dealt with adventurers settled there, and it was called Baron, but it became a country later. The land is a land of labyrinths, where the hard and dry land does not produce any crops. Strolling through the narrow streets of the first quarter, you will find apothecaries, magic potion shops, magic stone shops, and other intriguing stores, but unless you have an introduction from a guild or are rank A or above, you will be turned away condescendingly. I walked through the alleys to fill in the map, but there are many nice views to be enjoyed from the alleys. The area in front of the labyrinth, around the adventurers'' guild and the inn, is neat and tidy, as if it had been rezoned once, but a little further away, there are no alleys where you can see straight through, and the area is very intricately built. There are many ups and downs, and until you get used to them, it is difficult to predict where you will end up. There are some old residents'' living quarters, but sometimes you find yourself walking on the roof of someone''s house when you were supposed to be walking down an alley. It''s a bit of an adventure. In the second section, stores for lodging, weapons, armor, medicines, and other items necessary for entering the labyrinth line the main street, and behind them are stores selling and buying materials such as gems, ores, and medicinal herbs. The streets are straight, wide, and level, as if this area was planned and constructed. It is easy to understand, but a little boring. I stop by the repair shop where I came before my second dive yesterday to have my equipment repaired, then go to a cloth armor shop called a clothing shop to buy a robe for a wizard, a coat and pants for a swordsman, and a leather goods shop to buy new boots to wear in my daily adventures. In this world, you can buy everything from underwear to armor, and you can even demand a reasonable level of protection. However, most of the special effects cancel each other out when you put them on top of each other, and wearing a suit of 10 armor under a suit of 100 armor does not add up to 110 defense, so it does not make much sense. The only exception I have is the pants of the Goddess of Shame. No, the effect of those pants would be more outstanding if I wore them alone. I don''t wear them. I bought some reasonable ones at the magic stone shop and ore shop to raise the level of decoration. There must be a mining point in the labyrinth since it is said that they are also buying. There is a commercial guild here as well, but it is run by a representative from one of the several established guilds. The guild is tolerant of temporary or small businesses such as stalls, but if one tries to start a full-fledged business with a proper store, he or she is met with a very harsh and sanctioned welcome. It is said that they will not give up their piece of the pie. It''s quite different from the commercial guilds of Gears. Well, here I am, Homura, in the second basement level of the labyrinth. I have to log out anyway, so I''m not afraid of the despena!¡¡But I was afraid of the pain before the despena. >,<>, black coat I just bought, <>,<>,--I was walking through the dark dungeon in this outfit, looking quite funny and suspicious from the side. I am confident that I am a person of character. Well, what I''m really afraid of is the type of person who is conscious but unable to move due to residual injuries, so in this world where even seemingly fatal injuries can be healed by magic, I should have no problem if I just open up, but that would require a little more experience, which is why I came to the labyrinth. By the way, when I [Pain Release] was done, unpleasant sensations came to be reproduced, but my clothes also became dirty. Still, they are less dirty than in the real world. In the real world, I would never wear them for fear of getting them dirty!¡¡I used to wear a plain white robe or coat, but if I did not apply or to it often, it would become dirty. So, I decided to go all out and paint them black, but after coming here, I realized that the dust is rather white. High Goblins are not a scary enemy unless they have [pain release]. Stay calm and defeat them before they attack. Physical attacks are to be seen off, parried, and passed off. The problems are magic and ranged attacks of the continuous attack type, not the type that hits many one-shot attacks. To avoid the pain, I tried various ways and found out that magic is canceled out by hitting with conflicting attributes, fire with water and wood with gold magic. There were some combinations that caused an explosion at the point where the magic hit each other, but since I was solo, I did not care. I had to instantly identify the activated magic and intercept it, otherwise it would fail to cancel out, or in the case of an explosive combination, instead of erasing it, a large explosion would occur right next to it, doubling the damage, but there was no problem. Just when I was happy, [range magic] came and I cried, but no problem. Now that I''m fighting in melee, I''m all for¡¾No Chant¡¿!¡¡And when you are fighting in a party, you should be able to handle the enemy with more margin because of the distance between you and the enemy. I''m not doing it now because I''m practicing magic offsetting each other, but I can cut off a single magic with my sword, and I was thinking. I got the skill ¡¾Magic Cancellation¡¿, having cancelled out magic from enemies above the appropriate level 500 times in a row. With this skill, I can distinguish the attribute of the enemy''s magic while he is chanting (...), and I can cancel out the magic unless it is a symbiotic relationship, such as fire and wood. However, if the magic with the same attribute is weaker than the one that is being opposed, it will increase the power of the counteracting magic, and even if the magic is stronger in terms of attributes, such as water on fire, it will be swallowed up if the difference in the magic released is large. In short, there is no way to deal with an enemy''s magic that is stronger than one''s own. Now you can nullify physical attacks by hitting them with your own magic!¡¡To be more specific, magic slashes!¡¡I can already slash with my < right now! It''s kind of fun. Maybe it''s the effect of the title and the mask, or maybe it''s just getting used to it, but I''m making progress without making any mistakes due to the pain. And I didn''t expect to be helped so much by the fact that of [Sacred Magic] has energy recovery attached to it before I [Release Pain]. Now that I''ve learned at level 20, I''ll try to level up other magic when I''m free. <<< Isn''t it usually when you are unsure of something that you call out for it? >> . <> < It''s so soft to the touch. Bliss. Don''t worry. When I''m not in battle, I also search with [Thread]. After a few bites, White came to his senses, but we are marching forward smoothly. Too smooth, too smooth... We''re right before the boss. The third orc battle of the day. The orc flies with a thud. The hem of my black coat flutters in the wind. The leap is so high that it easily surpasses the orc''s back. He leaps over, spins on his shoulders, and lands in a graceful arc without a sound. His black feathers spread and fade. It is a preemptive attack, made just after he casts Kuroyoh''s defense spell and before the activation effect disappears. White, who ran beside the orc after me, says. My muscles are not strong enough to catch the orc''s axe or to parry it away. But what if I can destroy its body parts? 66 - The Ekaterina No content 67 - The Stores No content 68 - The Bulletin Board No. 1 No content 69 - 67.

Four men running in the wilderness. Leo in the lead. Ochazuke, Kikuhime, and Shin follow. "Ahhh, if only Homura were here, he''d kick or something to stop us!" "If only Peter were here, he''d have the courage to abandon us!" Neither of them are home! Leo running kicking up dust and trash. Fits the wilderness. The wolf effect appears translucent. Fits in the wilderness. Kikuhime runs while sprinkling flowers on the rough ground. It fits in the wilderness. Ochazuke runs while sprinkling stars in the wilderness at noon. It doesn''t suit the wilderness. "I kind of wish we could have matched the running effects a little better!¡¡Toooo!" Shin punches away an enemy resembling a saber-toothed tiger that leaps at him. The enemy, who scratched the ground after being blown away, was a little far away, but not far enough to give up biting the enemy to death with his hate raised by being hit. As a result of such repeated attempts, a monster train has been created and it is getting to the point where we can no longer stop until we shake it off. The reason why I am still calling out to him to stop is because Leo is running toward the direction of the enemy. The fast reconnaissance man is able to get around the target without getting tangled up with the enemy. The Narn Mountains lie ahead, the Narn seen from the Gears side is a lush green mountain range, but the majesty seen from the Labyrinth City (Baron) side is mostly mountains of stone, leading to a dead end with towering precipitous cliffs. Leo does not seem to notice the dead end, even though it must have been obvious to him. And what about the three following him? All the enemies that Leo had tagged and collected in the middle of the field were now re-focused on the three of them and chasing after them. Some of them even came from Leo''s direction, that is, from the front. Among the three, Shin, who can move relatively quickly, manages to handle them. It all started with Leo. I want to see what''s going on outside the labyrinth city of Barron!¡¡Let''s find a fishing hole!¡¡He invited the three of them to go outside the city walls. Outside was a wilderness. But it was not a wilderness of cracked earth, but a type of heath with low vegetation. It would have been a different impression if heather or ericas were in bloom, but unfortunately it is not the season for flowers in Baron. "Ugh, I''ve missed the time to abandon ??????" "Is there any way to switch areas or something? "There is no such seam in this game!¡¡If I had to say so, I''d say switch at the event, yeah, yeah, yeah." "Wahahaha!¡¡You three are late, ?????!" """"You tell me, you ah£¡£¡£¡£¡£¡£¡"""" ¡î ¡î ¡î ¡î ¡î ¡î ¡î ¡î ¡î ¡î ¡î ¡î ¡î ¡î ¡î ¡î ¡î ¡î A black, shiny thing that enters my blurry vision. Jet-black, it is cool, smooth, and very soft. What? Soft? ....... Out --------! Camilla is lying on my shoulder as a pillow. Her breasts are snug against my chest. They are second only to Guild Mistress Emel''s. They are soft and comfortable. No, no. This is not the time to savor the sensation. I have to get away from her before she wakes up. I check my surroundings, and it seems that Camilla is the one who has crossed the border, so I''m safe. I gently remove Camilla''s head from my shoulder so as not to wake her, and pull out my hand that was inadvertently touching her back by her hair. I''m numb ......?¡¡Please don''t reproduce this part of the story. I didn''t notice the numbness because I couldn''t feel it, and I almost had an accident when I was pulling my hand out. Dangerous. I completed the mission successfully and drink a cup of tea. The fuel block that had been set aside for the morning was lit and the water boiled, just as Galahad had done. The atmosphere is important, I think as I watch the flames lick the bottom of the can. It would be tasteless to take too much time and effort. Breakfast is a mixture of boiled and loosened chicken breast, shredded cucumber, and miso sauce. On top of it, I put a piece of crispy grilled skin of the same bird. At the moment, I''m craving for grilled onigiri with miso sauce. I hope one day I''ll be able to make it without worrying about ingredients. The main dish is a hot dog. A sausage is put in a long soft bread and grilled with shredded bacon and cheese on top. Vinegared cabbage on top of the sausage. Avocado paste with lettuce and sausage. The sausages are regular or herb sausages, both are browned and crispy when you bite into them. French fries are served on the side. Hmm?¡¡Are you an onion ring person?¡¡It''s all right if you put that on too. I prefer French fries, but Leo and Shin like onion rings. I wonder what they are doing now. The last time I logged in, Leo sent me a text message that read, "Too much death, got eels! I asked him about it, but he didn''t reply to my e-mail. I am sure he is still doing something incomprehensible. What is it?¡¡I suddenly feel like I need to get a [kick]. Why? Galahad and the others wake up, perhaps attracted by the smell. Today''s breakfast was a hit. "Well, hello, White." "Why do I get the feeling that you want me to call you before I forget?" "It''s just my imagination." Three people are shaking their shoulders and laughing out of the corner of my eye. "Well, good luck with that." "Be careful here because there are enemies who use [sleep], such as Ole Rugeye and Zantman, so you might not need to ...... Homura, who also resisted the boss''s abnormal attacks yesterday, but if he falls asleep, will you wake him up?" "Roger that." From here on, physical damage is reduced by more than half with normal weapons, but Galahad and Eagle both have Luba''s special emono. "When I first came here, I didn''t have this sword, so I asked Camilla to me with fire and we made some progress." "After I got the sword, I was able to attack much faster. Thank you." Oops, I didn''t use much until now, but I guess there are times when you need it for your party members. "You met Homura when you got this. Back then, the title and status were still promising ......." Eagle began to look distant. "I met him when I didn''t even have a guild card yet.¡¡The next time I saw him, he was already using lightning magic. And what the hell happened between the time the sword was made and the time we were under here? I really don''t know where this is coming from." Even Galahad and Camilla are far away! "At last someone understands your abnormality." Even white! Ole Rougeyer was a fairy dressed in a rainbow-colored negligee-like outfit and socks. Despite her fragile appearance, she could do a three-stage thrust with her umbrella, and when milk was poured from a bottle, she would suffer from the "Sleep" effect as Eagle had said. The drop was < and the rare , so I welcomed it. However, if there had been no <>, this would have been quite smelly. The sand thrown by Zantman, his companion, also seems to have a [sleep] effect, and Eagle and Camilla resist it, but Galahad is quite often hit by it. The other enemies we meet are wraiths - this time attacking us - and flow wraiths in dresses, as opposed to the vaguely outlined white wraiths. There are many other enemies, but their main attack methods are abnormalities and magic rather than physical. "Hmmm, nothing can match my ability to cast anomalies, and nothing is quicker than me." Muttering these words, White slips between the enemies and applies a state of abnormality to them as he slips through. "Hey, hey, I''ve never seen a wraith go numb before. "It didn''t do much to the Sea Serpent." "No, I''ve never heard of magic that works on sea serpents. "It''s extremely susceptible to poison, sea serpent." "Seriously!" "I wonder if the body level is weakened, but the skill level remains the same?" They keep talking, but none of the three has stopped attacking. And so we are before the boss. White and I are separated because it is time to return. He is still not happy because he cannot touch them during the battle. "...... Fer Fasi is an old man?" I had imagined a whitish female demon. < "No. No, it''s not. I went down the stairs to the boss, opened the door and saw a skinny old man. No, he might actually be a little younger than he looks, with dark circles under his eyes and a tired look on his face. "Well, well, well, I thought you gave up, but here you are again..." "What the hell are you? "You think I''m going to answer when you ask me?" The mysterious old man and the Galahad men glaring at each other. Is that it or is it an event? If it is a monster waiting for us without any prior knowledge, we are excited for the battle, but if it is a stranger, we are not so excited because of our Japanese sensibilities. I wonder if there is another possibility other than that of an enemy. "We succeeded in raising the temperature. And it''s lucky that we can bury the knight of fire here." Oops, enemy confirmed. Galahad and the others don''t seem to know who they''re dealing with, but they seem to know the three of us. What? "Ha ha ha!" A translucent object rises up from the floor behind the laughing man. It is the face of a beautiful woman who gives the impression of being made of porcelain. But from the chest down are many tentacles like the legs of an octopus. The entire figure is pale and translucent, reminiscent of a jellyfish. The inside of the thick octopus legs is filled with a red liquid, and you can see air bubbles moving inside. This must be Ferruginous Fasci. When I examined it, I found that it had a name like that of a grasshopper, red ferruginous falciform. Ah, a male fer fer ferruginous. Even though he has a female face. The description says that males are rare, so is this another rare boss? As the man was about to use [Appraisal], a magic circle spread out from the man''s feet, and from the edge of the magic circle, a boundary wall was formed around the man and Farfasi. "This ward prevents both magic and physical attacks, but attacks from Farfasi (inside) will pass through! What? "My masterpiece ...... that prevents six attributes, ahhhhh!" Six attributes? A man smiling with pride and ugliness is entangled in Farfasi''s legs. "I thought you had the boss under your control!" I was taken aback. Galahad and the others are surprised. I''ve been bonked on the head by ......... Is that it? "It''s not a normal boss (Ferdinand Farsi), so the schedule got screwed up!" "Probably the right insight, but ......" "Don''t call me a pussy!" "Don''t just pussy out on me!" 96 - The Drops What in the world did that man come out here for? He left so quickly that I missed the chance to appraise him, and I never found out who he was. The color of the liquid flowing in Farfasi''s tentacles seems to have darkened, and the corners of his china-like expressionless face seem to have turned up slightly. "How can he be male if he doesn''t have a larynx?" "Is that what you''re focusing on? "The only thing I have to say about that weird bastard was that thing you just said!" "They''re just the wrong color for Fer Fasi!¡¡There''s a lot more than a larynx!" That''s what I said. "You can''t talk about a man until you''ve beaten him." And put the larynx on the back burner! Galahad and the others, perhaps having changed their minds, turn to their enemies with straight faces. "Homura''s [unraveling] is level 1, huh? I don''t think it''s possible." It bothers me that Eagle seems to know my skills better than I do. "He said something about six attributes, so I''m sure he''ll be fine!" My equipment is 2 canes, a white cane. The third equipment is weakened significantly, but the effect of is offset by the effect of to use [Sacred Magic], and the normal amount of recovery is ensured. He casts¡¾Dissolve Warding¡¿with the second wand, which is less effective, and charges¡¾Light Eagle¡¿and¡¾Shadow Crow¡¿with the first wand in his hand, and simultaneously fires them at the place where the man with the apparently suspicious-looking stone in the warding was. He aims at the gap between Farfasi''s legs in mid-air. Or, should I attack the warding itself, which covers Farfasi like a dome? When I tried to "appraise" the man''s wards, a translucent window opened to reveal information. Many pieces of information are hidden due to their level. However, the level of [Appraise] has improved to the point where I can see that the information is "hidden". The < bar shown in the translucent window is the H! bar in the translucent window. The value is not disclosed, but you feel relieved when you see the bar gradually decreasing as you cast magic. I tried to cast a spell on the visible light curtain, but it seemed to be less than half as efficient as the visible light curtain, although the bar was decreasing. Several Far Farshi''s feet come from multiple directions as if they are undulating through the wards. Galahad and Eagle were taking care of the defense, and Camilla was now taking care of the recovery. < out, it is difficult to "think separately". If all three wands cast the same magic or as planned in advance, I can manage, but if I mix instantaneous judgment and on-the-spot recovery, there is inevitably a lag. If the other two are familiar magic, I''d like to raise the level of ......[unraveling] a little more, forgive me! My octopus leg! "It''s a hassle to only wait for an attack to put damage in." He is preventing but also attacking. The foot that comes out at a good speed, the Galahad that stays on the ground after an attack that would blow me up if I ate it, the Eagle that attacks while stepping and dodging and deflecting the trajectory to avoid reaching the rear guard. In addition to the foot, magic also comes. It looks fancy with bubbles, flowers, polka dots, etc., but it can also be used for abnormal conditions, H! Drain M! drain and the effects are nasty. I''ve been hit by drains. I thought I heard a cry like an insect''s squeak, and Farfasi fell down on the ground. "Oops, I guess breaking some of the darker colored suckers doesn''t help with the numbness..." You almost crushed me! The two men argue as they strike directly at each other''s heads, which have been dislodged from their wards. The only thing that has not changed is Fel Farsi. When Farfasi gets up after the paralysis is gone, he shivers and his legs, which were torn off by the previous attacks, regenerate. The leg, which had been filled with bubbling white air bubbles as if it were filled with liquid, did not flow out when it was cut off, but rather it lay there on the floor and then disappeared as if it had melted away with the regeneration of the main leg. "The whole thing is coming, get ready!" The regenerated legs are aligned to form a spinning top and spin like a tornado. The entire field is damaged by the wind pressure with an anomaly, and the tornado in the center of the body leaves and begins to spin around Farfasi in an irregular meandering motion. This tornado doesn''t disappear. If possible, I''d like to get rid of it before it reaches four. "If it weren''t for the wards, I could put magic in their heads." Here you go. It''s going away! I was working so hard to get rid of the wards. The wards cracked with a sound like the strike of a bell. "Yes!" "Yes!" "Thank you!" Three by three, Camilla released her magic and Galahad and Eagle ran up on their undulating legs. ...... were they stressed out? "Camilla, I have to ask you, is it hotter here than when you first arrived?" I also cast a spell on her head, and while dodging her feet, I stepped in front of Camilla and asked her. Both shields went on the attack. I switch my main staff to a sword and dodge their feet. "Right?¡¡Well, yeah, I didn''t pay attention to it because it was gradually changing, but it''s hot. Galahad''s breath was white at first." Your body temperature must be high, Galahad. I''m getting more information I don''t need. "The guy said something strange. Something about raising the temperature." "I''m wondering if that might be the reason why the drops aren''t coming out." If there''s a trick, it''s in this room, not in the main body of the enemy, right? If the boss who did all the work is still trying to get you to do it, there''s nothing you can do to help. "I''m going to go around. Are your legs okay?" "Don''t worry, he''s faster than Ferdowsi, but not so fast that you can''t avoid him. It would be a shame to knock them down before we know what''s going on. I''m just recovering while dodging. He sees Camilla nodding and starts running. Behind me I hear her telling the two of them to wait a bit for the big move. If anything, it''s in the corner of the room. The floor here is not shady because of the crawling of the feet, and the soil is not conducive to digging. It is smooth as wet limestone, though it appears to have a slight red tinge. The aim of the legs is random, but I run around the perimeter, casting my magic on some of them to see if I can get a target on them. I soon found something suspicious. If I didn''t know any better, I would have only focused on the boss after checking the obstacles in the field. I never see anything that fits in the palm of my hand at the edge of the field. A bright orange stone that looks like a fire opal with flames flickering inside. I thought it might be a waste, but I broke them as soon as I found them. The number of broken stones is five, and with each one the color of the floor becomes duller. Is this a floor heating system? Thanks for waiting! "The floor has changed color." "Yeah, but the temperature hasn''t dropped yet, <>." Applying range magic, he fires a barrage of < to spread not only to Farfasi but also to the entire room as much as possible. This magic should have a cooling effect on the surrounding area. In no time at all, the boss''s room became a fantastic place with ice flowers blooming everywhere. "It''s so cold! It seems to have worked for about one person. Farfasi looked and saw that the white bubbles visible in his feet were gone. ...... if it had been boiling all this time? "Is that okay?" "Either way, this is as far as I can come up with." "You two can go down now!" "Oh, yeah!¡¡Let''s try it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Just as I was about to ask him what, a sword of white light more than twice his height appeared in Galahad''s upraised hand, and I knew the answer. "The great sword of absolution! A great sword of light, which must have been five meters long, swung down on Farfasi, and light flooded the moment it touched him. "Oh!¡¡It''s pretty exhilarating!" Galahad and Eagle slide back down from the crumpled and broken fal fasi. "That''s fancy!" "The question is, will it go down or not!" "Don''t worry, it''s not magic, it ain''t getting up!" "You look like you''re already dying.¡¡What are these skills designed to fight against?" Let''s not think about that, because it''s a scary thought. What will happen to my sword if Galahad''s replica is this powerful? Or is it the same in terms of skill? "It''s proportional to its appearance. I''m not ready to shoot yet. "Is it the accumulation of damage inflicted?¡¡What about the homura?" I haven''t built up mine yet! "Well, can I shoot?¡¡It pains me to use it on someone who is dying." "Well, even if I don''t have [Physical, Effective], will this skill work?" He then takes the sword that appears in his right hand and holds it up to the eight phases, activating the skill. "[Sword of Absolution]!" The skill activated causes the sword to glow with white light and grow to a giant size. This is the same as Galahad''s "Great Sword of Sin. The sword is covered with light, and is slashed down and up. A band of light forms an afterimage and traces a path. It seems that the sword of absolution attacks twice. I got the title "Red Illusionist" for my first solo attack. I got the as a reward for my first solo defeat. > has been defeated solo. I got the epidermis of Far Fasi''s face x5.

"If you take the rare boss''s drop, there will be a commotion, but I''m sure they won''t complain either." The Red Illusionist is a new type of damage reduction system.

The sun was just beginning to rise when I emerged from the labyrinth. I took a room and had a meal in the dining room, and here I am. There is no need to stay the night, but to use the bath, one has to stay at the inn. It is just a matter of mood, since < is applied. Galahad has asked me for a beer after his bath, and we are now drinking in the room. He gave me some more stones and gems that he found along the way as a thank-you for my help. He offered me all the materials, but I declined. He gave me three drops, including the one for me, but he said that two were enough, including a spare, so he left one for me. "Since there is the matter of the man and there might be some interference in the delivery of the drops, I would appreciate it if you would not sell them until the matter is over. "Understood." "It seems safe with Homura." "Even if the man had sent information to someone else in that short time, once the mask is removed, we won''t be able to track him. That''s what I mean. And isn''t the rare drop < of Far Farsi also a kneading system?¡¡Galahad gave me two. I would like to plant them, but unfortunately I don''t have a place where I can plant them. I would like to have a house soon, but I would like to look around a little more. Maybe a clan house will come first? What was that guy all about? I''m sure it''s something to do with us. "I think it was a low-level guy, and I''ll do some research when I get back to the country." Speaking of which, how could Homura be okay with what she saw? "Oh ......, well it was far away. It looked like an enemy." I was completely disconnected from the game, or maybe I just thought it was grotesque, but I was more impressed by the fact that Farfasi looked like he was smiling after finishing his meal. It would have been different if it had been a resident with whom I was familiar. Maybe. "Well, when we invited them, they were at least 20 levels above the appropriate level, and Homra and I were prepared for a very hard time, but we didn''t expect it." Galahad smiling and drinking beer. "Homra''s resistance to abnormalities was extraordinary! "With the equipment and other things, his MID is about as high as you''d expect to see for a holy priest at that level, and with [Verna''s Protection] and other resistance boosts, I think he''s at the right level for a holy priest at that place, if only for his resistance to abnormalities." "I don''t have any resistance skills." Isn''t zero multiplied by 0%? "It''s not as good as skill, but the MID height will raise your resistance system to the bottom of the list." "And I''m really glad we didn''t get any succubus along the way." Galahad sits cross-legged on the floor stirring a beer. "Oh, I thought you said something about higher levels in the future, but are they going to appear on the road?" "I''ve been wandering around on levels 31 to 39. It''s like a field boss." "You know how rarely we encounter these things?¡¡I don''t encounter them, but when I saw Homura''s title, I was actually filled with anxiety when I hit rare bosses one after another. "It would be a catastrophe if Homra got <." "I thought there was a medicine that could cure that." "There are two types of < used by succubus, the one that attacks allies on the succubus''s side and the one that attacks without regard to the allies. The latter is not an attack. ...... From the female Succubus, I guess it''s the H side of things. Are there also male incubus? "Usually only men are attracted to them, and they can escape when Camilla comes to her senses by dispersing the potion. They''re fickle demons, and if we don''t attack them, they''ll just charm us and go away. But if Homura attacked me, it would be a catastrophe that I can''t avoid. ......" You mean Mr. [Bouchujutsu]! "In the meantime, Homura, for our peace of mind, please acquire [charm resistance] when you get a chance. As for [Confusion Resistance], well, I think the probability of the skill being triggered by the skill barrage from confusion is low. ......" You mean Mr. [Bouchu-jutsu]! Although he doesn''t say so explicitly, he seems to be quite traumatized by the [bosonaka-jutsu]. I''m sorry to say this, but I''m getting the feeling that I won''t be able to relax until my resistance is 100%, or at least until my charms are disabled. "I''ve already been on the skill list, but which is better, to use the skill points to get [Charm Resistance] here, or to get [Magic Formation Making] and quickly make an item to prevent possession?" ""............[magic circle production] at ............[magic circle production]"" The guys looked at me like I was having a hard time making a decision, and pushed me to choose [magic circle]. "Actually, Farfasi doesn''t cause any abnormalities, so if you think about the probability calmly, it''s true." Camilla is cooler than the two of them. Well, if the magic circle is just a bonus, and it''s only to ward off possession, we can make it into an accessory with jewelry as it''s made with kneaded metal, but let''s not mention it. I wonder if we have to have a book of sample magic circles. "By the way, Homura, about that mask, it will be fine as long as you don''t say your name with the mask on and show us how you put it on and take it off. Even if we call you ''Homura'', people around you will probably call you ''you'' or ''you'', or if you call yourself ''Rengaard'' or something like that, they will convert it to ''Rengaard'' by themselves. "Oh, that''s convenient." "And it''s a sacred tool." God of Underpants, you said you would give me what I need. You''ve got an itch! After delivering the drops to the client, we promised to meet again in three or four days to give them the items to prevent possession, and we left Galahad and the others. I turn on the clan conversation, which I had turned off. Homura: Hey, hey? Chrysanthemum Princess: It''s too late: £¡£¡£¡£¡ Leo: Wahahahahaha! Shin: I''m tired! Ochazuke: dead! Homura: What did you do? Shin: I went with Leo and got into a lot of trains, and when I was helpless, I met the area boss of Barong and jumped into the area, and I died. Ochazuke: It was terrible. Homura: You are so brave to show Leo the way. Kikuhime: I want you to sell me some medicine! Shin: Me too! Ochazuke: Me too! Leo: Likewise! Homura: Give me the materials. Or store-bought. Ochazuke: OK, OK! Leo: I have no money! Chrysanthemum Princess: Why are you so poor! Shin: I wonder why (distant look) Ochazuke: I believe there are consignment terminals in countries other than Geers. Can you at least buy them there? Shin: Seriously! Homura: Where is it? Ochazuke: Was it a production center? I had to change the setting to only check the menu in the middle of the world announcements, except for my own, because it was getting in the way of doing the boss. I turn it off when I go out to attack a boss and turn it back on when I''m done, but sometimes I forget to turn it back on. I had originally set the production title announcements only for the menu check, but the other day I saw that Elias had won something. It seems that the production titles are mainly awarded for the first completion of specific production requests, and the requests are varied. The titles can vary from almost name-only ones to highly effective ones. It is said that if you accumulate small titles and become famous among the residents, you can get a rather large title by a nomination request. I hear that many of the titles change like a rising fish, from "hobby craftsman" to "budding craftsman" and so on. Well, I''ll just skim over the announcements in my spare time. After an hour at the production center in the second wall, we move to meet up with the others when I finish production. It is a little early for the others to sleep, but the death penalty makes it difficult for them to produce and fight, so they are doing errand quests that can be done in the city. When I arrived at the production center, I asked for the location of the consignment terminal and was told that H! and M! and M! Homura: It''s a little late for that, but I''m not sure if H! and M! and activators, right? Kikuhime: OK, you know. Shin: Oh, and the poison remover, please! Leo: Me too, me too! Ochazuke: I''ll have ten transfer stones, too. Can you give them to me later? Homura: Good, but why are they selling it for more than the store price? Ochazuke: A trap to catch people who don''t know the market price at the N!C store. Leo: The warehouse is so full of trash that we can''t fit it in, so we put it at a higher price than the market price and use it as a warehouse. Shin: If you put it at a slightly higher price, you can get a little money. Kikuhime: You''re so stingy! Don''t hoard trash. I''d like to say, but I''ve got a lot of stuff in there too. Storage magic is useful. I buy medicinal herbs and such at cheaper prices than in the residents'' stores, and I also buy cheap attribute stones and a lot of dexterity rings from Yagyakul, so I buy them all, leaving the overpriced ones behind. I wonder if it is possible to do this with a magic circle and a healer''s grant. I wonder if the gems are compatible with each other. I bought some high quality medicinal herbs without knowing whether they are expensive or not. It is time to increase the amount of recovery medicine. I wonder if it is possible to make a high recovery potion. A while ago, I was thinking that other than me, I could make non-attribute stones when I found them for sale, but now there are already stones of power and strength for a certain amount of time, stones of fire-needle for attacks, etc. on the consignment market. Non-attribute stones are very versatile and varied. However, it seems that only stones up to level 10 are available for offensive magic, and when I checked, I found that magic above level 11 is contained in gemstones. Red crystals and rubies with level 20 fire swords were sold. Since the rank of materials is red crystal < ruby, it may be that the higher the rank of the material, the more magic can be put into the gemstone, or the lower the level of the gemstone, the easier it is to put magic into the gemstone. Looking at the items on sale, we can see that there is a tendency that the type of magic that can be cast depends on the color of the gemstone. It''s fun to see the variety of items available. Unfortunately, since non-attribute stones are still expensive, all items using non-attribute stones are inevitably expensive. The problem is that dark and light stones are used for non-attribute stones. If the level of kneading is improved and it becomes possible to synthesize six materials, it may be possible to synthesize fire, earth, gold, water, and wood, but it may take a while to get there yet. In the fantasy route, stones of each attribute fall, and dark and light stones are easy to get. Either way, the supply will be sufficient and the price will settle down. I borrow a production facility of medicine for an hour and produce it. The commissioned goods, which are not new, are quickly finished. And as expected <<< high H! recovery potion (high potion)>>. At first, I change half of the potion to a high potion. High quality herbs 2, water 2, and high H! High potion. High H!? 4 high potions and serum to make high vitality potion. The number of required herbs has quietly increased by one since the time of the life-activating drug. M!? What are the ingredients for the M!¡¡I think it''s "high quality something" but I can''t find anything that looks like it. Well, M! active drug is enough for now. I wonder if I should go back to Diaz by transfer and go to my own store, where I can get production facilities.¡¡It would have taken less time if we had moved by transfer. It''s too late now, though, as we met up at the second production center and started production, spending halfway through the day. 98 - 96.

We handed over the requested items, but Leo''s cash was as tight as ever, so we changed to bartering. We got a lot of fish we''d never heard of: giant spineless scorpionfish, tiger trout, nana hoshi amago, anago eel, hamo hamo, aowaka ayu, ichikaku maguro (one-horned tuna),....... "Is that why Leo has no money, because of his fishing gear and his travel to dangerous areas?" I have no idea what the price is, but they probably get too much. "Wa-ha-ha-ha!¡¡I''m having a hard time getting away with it!¡¡I fail so often!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" "Weigh yourself?" Ochazuke urges Leo to reflect in a tired voice. "I don''t know how much it costs, but I''m sure the fish will be more expensive even if we sell it off on consignment." "I don''t care, it''s too much trouble!" Should I envy their attitude of doing only what they like, or should I lecture them to think later? "Well, I''ll add this. As someone who doesn''t have fishing, it''s nice to have a lot of fish." Toss high HP restoratives and actives into Leo''s luggage. "Oh, yeah. Shin can have some of these, too, so give me whatever you have left over." "What?¡¡?¡¡Oh, I like your ability. Rare?" "Rare boss drop in Faina. If you use the fire attribute, it''s perfect, isn''t it?¡¡Let the production workers do something about the appearance." I had been working on organizing the warehouse in my spare time, since I could tinker with my contract storage from the consignment terminal. It''s about time that some of you have encountered the rare bosses of Faina, probably. "Well, I have some materials like straw and oak, but I don''t have any dropped equipment that Homura might use. "Oak, oak, give me oak." "Is that what you want?" "It''s the material for the cane." "Ok, ok, ok." Negotiations are made and I receive oak x10. "You should save the straw, wood, and bricks. They''ll use them to build their own rooms in the clan house. Straw? What about mixing it in with the mud walls? Is there some kind of quest where the carpenter asks me to get it for him? Shit, I was about to sell it. "He said I need three of each: the first-born oak straw, the second-born oak wood, and the youngest oak bricks. Unless I''m unlucky, I''ll only have to do it once. If I sell the surplus, should I wait until it''s more widely known that it''s used for clan houses?¡¡I''m sure rich production clans that don''t fight will pay a lot for them." By the way, this is information about daylilies. "Have Roy and his friends bought a clan house yet?" "No, I don''t think so. I was told that this is what they told me when I was briefed to buy the property in preparation." "Rich people!¡¡It''s hard enough to pay for the transfer." "Not many people are doing the labyrinth bosses yet, so you can sell the labyrinth materials for a lot of money, right?¡¡Why do you have so little money?¡¡That''s more curious, isn''t it?" "Don''t tell me you''re throwing them into a consignment that''s capped at ......?" "What?¡¡Is there any other way?" Shinn listens back to Ochazuke''s tsukkomi. "Are you stupid, stupid!¡¡If it''s too much trouble to sell and set the price according to your needs, there are even stores specializing in buying at the player''s stalls! ""Eeeeeeee!"" I heard two screams. "Leo too!" "What a relief that the drop in the piglet series is safe." If it had been a little longer, they would have sold us off for a couple of bucks. Leo and Shin are getting some educational guidance from Ochazuke while asking about the location of the buy-back stall. The consignment sales of the commercial guilds are convenient because the terminals can be anywhere but the guilds, but since the prices are set between the guild''s preferences, rare materials still cannot be sold at such a high price. Some people are said to be too lazy to sell their goods at consignment sales, but they check the consignment terminals at the end of the general log-in time to see if they can find anything for sale. I know this, but I have a lot of things that I have been storing without selling because it is too much trouble. So, I limited my sermons to just looking at them. The fact that many of them are likely to be asked about their origins when I unveil them to the public also adds to my hoarding. I''m fine with the name of the consignment sale being Lengard, but I''d prefer to avoid face-to-face transactions even if I''m wearing a mask: ....... "Speaking of which, what are you going to do about Clan House?" ""I want it, but I don''t have the money."" "You''re going to have common storage, right?" "Yes." "Common?" When I asked him about it, he scolded me saying that I should read the notices by chance. Common storage is exactly what it sounds like, a warehouse that can be used by all clan members. Basically, the capacity is 100 for each clan member and 50 for each individual, and only the clan member himself can open his own storage, but even non-clan members can freely open theirs. Clan members can send each other gifts and share production materials. The capacity can be increased by paying money to commercial guilds. You can also put production facilities and transfer plates in the same way as stores. If you pay for it. Money follows you everywhere. "If you were going to build a clan house, where would you want it?" "Tropical Tropics." "Somewhere green." "Somewhere with an ocean!" "I''d like to live somewhere convenient." Shin, myself, Leo, and Kikuhime answered in this order. We were stuck in the labyrinth until a little while ago, and when we came out, this town was the color of sand. The roofs and the cloths on the floor are in primary colors, but the basic color is the color of the cliff that rises up with the labyrinth. The building materials are probably stones quarried from the cliffs, so it can''t be helped. It is now that I miss the green. We are currently lingering at a restaurant in Ninokaku that serves excellent fried food, and having a conversation. "First of all, we need to secure land, but the land for sale to gentiles (players) is basically fixed," he says. According to Ochazuke, the following places are available for purchase. A villa in the forest and fountain in Saar, Giaas. Duchy of Tarkant: Around Baron, the capital of Tarkant, convenient for exploring the labyrinth. Or rather, the Duchy of Tarkant has only one city, Baron. Isle of Isle The imperial side of the small countries of Arval and Valnor ....... Fagat Small islands around Canal. "I wonder if the production groups are still building guildhouses or stores in clans with larger space.¡¡If we had a sales record as a clan, we could possibly put it on the fast track as a store, but we can''t." Ochazuke adds to the explanation. "Speaking of which, I''m going to open a general store and a liquor store in Fast!" "Bu!¡¡Why two stores!" He wanted to open a liquor store because there is no liquor store in Fast. I mean, all of my customer service is done by the Commercial Guild. I just cook. How did that happen? "Ah, Fast''s sake doesn''t taste very good, does it?" Kikuhime and Shin, who drink sake, were very convincing. The third floor of the liquor store is available, but it''s too cramped for the six of us, and I''m afraid someone might ask how we got the room, and that might cause trouble for everyone. "I heard that we can choose a place in the city if we get higher adventurer rank, but I heard that in this world, carpenters demolish and transport buildings to be rebuilt, so it will be a while before we can choose a place, so I think we should just choose one that''s for sale.¡¡Or rent a house in the city. If you want it right away, maybe a rented house, wallet-wise." "In the meantime, I''ll go look at some places for sale or rentals while I''m in the area and think about it." "Kojima is the ring of dreams." "When we''re all here, we''ll take a transfer cab and we''ll walk through each one to see what they recommend. I can''t take you to a place that doesn''t have an open transition gate, so please open one for yourselves. After saying this, he thinks again about the places mentioned. If Ziars is to be attacked, it will be by demons, and the strongest demons are in the Narn Mountains. Saa is the nearest town to Narn. The islets of Canal are isolated. I wonder if I am cynical or not, but I think that every place is a place where adventurers are either shielded or quarantined. Well, except for Baron, the natural environment seems to be good. "For your information, the conclusion of the discussion on the forum about where to set up store on the production board was Fast, and if Fast overflowed, the next best place was Barron with the labyrinth if the drop was good, so I thought it would be good to have a place together considering the cost of transition." "Boom!" "That''s serious, man." The two money-challenged couples scream at the mention of oatmeal. "In another country, we''d have to pay 40,000 for the temple transfer every time we went shopping. If we were in the same country, it wouldn''t have much of an impact." "Well, I''m sure there will be more different countries in the near future." "We''ll just have to wait and see while we save up, won''t we?" "Would it be a good idea to at least decide on a country?¡¡I heard that if you do guild queries in the country you want to live in and raise your trust level, places you can''t buy or rent now will be released." Yeah, I think he said something about the B rank advancement query being based on the residents'' trust level. I understand the feeling that the early days of the bazaar and other troublesome activities in the plaza, and the feeling that the unknown gentiles with strength should be quarantined together. I think it is good that they are not excluded. It is possible to distinguish and accept those who seem safe and beneficial to us from those who are not. "There are still a few who have achieved the rank of C, and it''s more likely that they''ve already conquered the dungeon of the dungeon of the dears because of the cost of transition, so I''m fine with it. If you wait too long, the trap is that the next time you are ahead of the others and the dungeon is filled. Fast in particular seems to be starting to fill up with production jobs. "Rent a house in Ziarce for cheap, and buy one privately to save up money. When you have more money and rank up, you can buy a clan house somewhere.¡¡And by that time, I''ll be able to go a little more comfortably from place to place." "Oh, and the rented house is going to fill up if we don''t do it soon, and I think that would be better for my wallet too.... Well, if you don''t want to go back to FAST too often, you can go to another country, but why don''t you start out by looking for a place to rent?" If I suggest it, Ochazuke agrees with me with a slight modification. "Let''s go in that direction. Let''s find a nice place to rent!" "Oh!¡¡But I''ll look at Kojima too if I find a nice place!" "All right, then." "And think about the price, okay?" "I''ll sell you the transfer for 10,000 transfer stones, but keep in mind that it will cost you 20,000 round trip out of the country. The dark and light attribute stones currently on consignment are often sold at the consignment limit of 5,000 shill, so if you make a stone from materials bought on consignment, it will be at cost. I have some that I picked up on the fantasy route, and since I can solo up to fairies, I think I can make a lot of money if I go through now that no other players are coming. "Gee, come to think of it, it''s a round trip!¡¡Temple 80,000 £¡£¡£¡£¡" "Ew!" I was somewhat worried about whether they would be able to make it, and when I suggested and confirmed the cost of the transfer, they seemed to have underestimated it a little. Well, I will look around after I finish preparing for the opening. ...... But first, the cavalry. 100 - - To the Paltine Mountains to Find Horse Beast We leave Shin and the others who say they are going to sleep and return to Gears Fast. He takes Ochazuke, who says he is still awake, and Kikuhime, who says she wants to sell her drops, with him. "Thank you, I''m going to sleep after selling them. The little girl runs away saying that, her skirt is short. I can see your pants! "I think I''ll buy some new street clothes, too. "When you stare at me while looking at my mini-skirt, I wonder if you want to wear it." "What if I have a request?" "No, I don''t!" Ochazuke makes a fine blonde beauty every time. She also wears cool clothes, but it''s hard to tell if she''s serious or joking since she wears sunglasses with heart frames, a vivid pink lam¨¦ outfit, a tutu with a swan between her legs, and many other things she has worn in past games. Now, I leave Ochazuke and move to the isle. I''ve acquired the "magic circle making" skill, and I''ve decided to buy a book that has samples of magic circles, thinking that I should finish making an accessory to prevent possession. I''m also going to the general store to buy materials for ornaments to sell. I''m going to ...... to dig for stardust in Tigal when it''s light, which should be fine since it''s noon. The Isle has a fascinating building called the library, so if we are not careful, the time will pass quickly. There are still four days to go before the pre-opening date. I head for the bookstore, thinking that if it were not for the fact that tomorrow in the real world is already today, I would not be able to make my schedule. As one would expect in a city of magic and science, there are many bookstores and used bookstores, and many specialized books are available. To be honest, there are even some books that I have no idea what they are about until I look at the classification on the shelves. The amount of S!? (skill point) consumed for [magic circle making] is 2, which is reasonable. It costs 5 to acquire a skill other than one''s own occupation in combat. E!? The < that can be activated by consuming S! It was not necessary to use S! It is said that the production skills are more points for useful skills such as "strengthening" something or "reverting back to the previous operation" after a failed one. I am sure that the "dismantling" skill mentioned by Ochazuke has a high S! must be high. I have not been doing the same work for a long time, and it is difficult to acquire such skills since I am not mainly a production worker. If I work hard to make the same products to sell in the store, they may appear in time. S!, it is unlikely that you will ever take it. I got a book that serves as a recipe for "magic circle making" without incident. I also buy a few books. I also bought a few books on gems and metals, their compatibility with each other, a book on jewelry design, the history of the isle, etc.... I also bought a book on the preparation of special ink for drawing magic circle, and this one is on annealing and concoction. According to what I skimmed over, lower level inks can be made by concoction, but special inks can only be made by annealing. I am tempted to stroll around the city, but I hold back and take a circulating carriage to the southern gate. There are horse-drawn carriages that connect cities, but it is faster to run. Sometimes you may see a player running in the city, but the guards or guards may be in some kind of emergency!¡¡The frequency of seeing them is decreasing. It seems that there is a "hue and cry" style, perhaps based on the Victorian era in England, and everywhere you go, residents whistle, finger whistle, or scream to tell the guards or security guards where the criminals are. Some players have been embarrassed because they were mistakenly thought to be "running away," and nowadays they almost never use the running method in the city. I would like to at least say hello to Mr. Org who gave me the information about rice, but I will come back again after I make some accessories. I think this as I look out the window of the carriage, which has been cut larger than usual, as if it were a tourist spot, at the bustling storefront with the constant coming and going of the wholesaler''s wagons. In fact, the design of my liquor store is based on the floor plan of my friend''s wholesale store. A small office, a warehouse with direct access for wagons. The scale is quite different, and since we deal only in sake, I have made it somewhat stylish, or rather, Trinh, the designer, has made it stylish. On the way, I thought about changing the route a little and stopping at the cities of Rurusha or Dwolla, but I decided to go with the cavalry first. If we could get the cavalry, it would be easier to get there. Once we cross the boundary between the cities of Rurusha and Dwolla, the enemy becomes stronger, although it is within the safe range. Unlike the northeastern area, the enemies here seem to be insects. Caterpillars and caterpillars are fine. Spiders are also acceptable. But butterflies!¡¡Moths! The scales ahhhhhhhhh £¡£¡£¡£¡ I should note that although it was not a problem in terms of strength, emotionally it was a hellish situation for me. I used to be fine with them, but when I saw in a movie that when a caterpillar turns into a chrysalis, it dissolves into a sludge once inside the chrysalis and turns into a butterfly, I became not fond of chrysalis, butterfly, and moth for some reason. I can pick up a caterpillar before metamorphosis, but not a butterfly. When I think about it calmly in my old age, it seems that butterflies and moths are not the only insects that are special, but the sense of dislike that was imprinted on me as a child has not left me even as an adult. I fired a series of magic spells, inadvertently raising my level by destroying the area where I could see them. I don''t mind seeing beautiful butterflies flying around, though. As long as the scales don''t reach them. "Come here, White." It is white fluff for a weary heart. "No, I didn''t think you''d call me to battle after all." Oh, shoot, I forgot. Okay, if I don''t tell him, he won''t know I called him for any other reason. We pretend we don''t know them and go on playing white. We have come to the foothills of the Parthin Mountains in the Isle of Isle of Man, where we have been told that the cavalry that people can bond with are the foothills of the Parthin Mountains. The enemies got stronger as we approached the mountains, but the number of insect enemies decreased, so it was rather comfortable! And collecting, mining. And picking wild vegetables outside the skill set!¡¡Many summer wild plants were already seen, and the spring ones were really just around the corner. The extension of the harvest season is wonderful. Bracken, kogomi. The edible parts of bracken and royal fern are called << priest''s staff> here, I have never seen them, but I guess they look similar. Thistle...... like pickled burdock sold on the market in the real world is usually the root of thistle. By the way, the poison is in the Yohshuyama burdock, which has big soft leaves and purple berries like grapes, which I used to play with when I was a child. Poisonous plants grow quite close to us. Leaves of hydrangea, daffodils, and I pick them up impatiently, thinking of the person who got poisoned by making chopsticks or skewers out of oleander branches at a barbecue. I leave two branches, one for those who come later and one for the one that will grow. It is against the law to pick them all. Taranome,Koshia bra ......This area is all about tempura. Young shoots of akebi, mitsuba, ooba gibosho. You see, there are other summer wild vegetables, but most of what I want to eat are spring ones. I''m really glad I made it in time. Oh, I don''t take Tsukushi (tsukushi) or Oobaku (plantain) because I don''t like them so much that I have to take the trouble to eat them. And what''s easy is that you can easily distinguish similar poisonous plants by [appraising] them without any trouble. I wish they would do something about the fact that cucumbers and dokuseri grow together, though. And wild horseradish: £¡£¡£¡£¡£¡ Dangerous thing that speeds up rice consumption!!!! Western horseradish but £¡£¡£¡£¡ In between collecting, I''m also mining black silver iron sand in the stream, and fighting a dangerous monster called the red-bellied sandpiper, not the delicious-looking ...... one that spits out balls of flame. I''m using [presence detection] and [thread], but White is motivated to fight enemies that appear in small numbers, so I leave it to him. ...... takes time, so I use magic to kill them when White puts in an anomaly. White is said to have a variety of skills, but he currently has M! is so low that he can''t use many of them. When I put my hand into the shade of a rock to catch a landlocked salmon or an iwana that had escaped behind a rock in the stream, thinking that I could catch it without fishing, the shadow was deeper than I had expected, and the fish monster bit my hand, so I vowed to leave the fish to my real job (Leo). White looked at me like "What is he doing again? By the way, I''ve been feeling a gaze from him for a while now, I wonder what it is. I''ve been letting it go since I saw it on the "presence detection" screen and it didn''t seem to be an enemy, but it''s starting to bother me. Whenever I battle with demons, I am annoyed by the faintly deadly atmosphere coming out of the shadows. White also seems to be concerned about it, but I wonder what it is. There were a few raspberries growing in spring, summer blackberries are in full bloom now, and I found a place to pick <>, so I pick more for White and gently let the thread fly. It''s perfect, since I''m at level 40 and the <> is on the <>. And this << capture>>, the effect will increase if you stretch the threads over and over again without being noticed. When it comes out, I''d rather use attack magic than do that in the middle of battle!¡¡But it seems to be possible to try it in unexpected places. The encirclement of the threads surrounding from various directions is increased. "Ohhhhhh!" I tightened it all at once, and the man screamed. "What the hell did you do that for?" "I''m curious." I went to see the source and found something that looked like a fried shrimp wrapped around a piece of string. "Uh, Lizardman?" No, sir!¡¡That''s rude!" Some kind of snub-nosed, smooth-faced, reptilian-eyed, blue-skinned man squirms on the ground. I checked him out and he was Mr. Dragonut. I wonder if his level is high, but I can''t find much information on him. I haven''t met the wolf beastman who was mentioned in the game introduction yet? "So?¡¡Why are you following us?" "......" "Silent?" What brings you and your tribe here to the Parthin Mountains? "In search of the cavalry." ""What?"" "What?" "I thought you were looking for food ......" "There are probably more cavalry animals that can carry people at the foot of the mountains!" "Huh?" I was so engrossed in picking wild vegetables that I must have come a long way into the mountains. At any rate, the white mouth, stained red with berries, is <. on my clothes and shoes. "Don''t fool around!" I was silently cleaning up, and White gave me a hard time. You''ve been eating all the you can get your hands on! "Hey, can''t you just let me go?" An exasperated protest rises from below. "No?¡¡I''m still suspicious, and I usually refuse. At least tell me your name." "I don''t blame you." The dragonet''s voice was mumbled in a harsh tone, and the chi blew out of it. You''re cutting the strings! White, bite him. "What a pain in the ass." That''s why I have a shrimp fry-like thing lying at my feet, twitching with [poison] and [paralysis], but what''s going on? ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ Increase...

I would have thought about it if you had at least told me your name or something. It''s not only suspicious, but also not very nice of you not to give us any information after we''ve answered your questions." At any rate, I have the cat''s paw table out and am having tea next to a rolling dragonet. What should I do with this? "What are you... what are you... what are you...?" "Oh?¡¡You got guts." "I''ve done it, and I don''t mean to sound like a jerk, but can''t I at least cure you of your poison?" "Okay, but do you have an antidote?" Since sacred magic cures everything, he can''t use it, so he goes through his luggage and pulls out a poison remover. "By the way, seriously, if you''ve been stalking people and looking so suspicious that you won''t even tell me your name, you might as well be wrapped up in a box. Can I respond by saying, "Yes, you can." "No, it''s not like that, is it? White made an unnecessary comment, so I just wave it off. "You can''t give a beast to someone who uses a summoned beast as bait!" ""Bait?"" It took me a while to get it out of him because he was numb, but the bottom line is that this Mr. Dragonut is guarding the cavalry, and I entered the cavalry habitat and he passed me by when I was on the lookout. Then what was he doing?¡¡He said he was following me because he thought I might hunt a cavalryman on my way home. "So it looked like I was using white as a shield and attacking from behind," he said. "Compositionally, yes." In reality, I was taking him down after he went in for the kill. Well, it is common for long-distance players to use someone or something as a shield, but I don''t think White could have been misunderstood because he would not look like a shield-type summoner at all, nor would he look like a melee-type summoner. Usually, the owner of a summoned beast is supposed to specify the behavior of the summoned beast. White is completely free-range. So that''s why I felt the killer spirit during the battle. He''s not a bad person or a bad dragonut. Maybe it''s because he''s a brawler. It is your fault that you are rarely called to battle! "I don''t have time to act when I''m in the middle of a battle." You''re lying!¡¡You only use magic because you see an opening in the middle of a battle! "It''s just my imagination." The white one is cute too, with the fur on its back and its tail standing up and shrieking. "Yeah!¡¡You there, dragonet, find me a furry cavalryman to spread my damage!" ? That''s what happened. No, it didn''t. "Hey!¡¡Why should I be the one to go out and find a cavalryman!" "You speak more fluently than I thought you would. White said so, but I see now that I have needlessly alarmed you, even though it was a misunderstanding, so don''t worry about it and go home. Even though I was suspicious of you, I don''t expect that much from the person I wrapped you up in a box. The structure of the mouth is different from that of humans at a glance. It has long limbs and fingers. The claws seem to be strong. And a tail that comes to the knees. Despite its chest plate, it looks thin because of its hunchback and long arms and legs. "You can''t leave!¡¡You''re the one who needs to leave!" "No." "It''s almost night, let''s come back tomorrow, tomorrow!" "Pass. If I leave now, I might not be able to come back for a while." The store is ready to open. By the way, White has already returned and is lonely. "Okay, let''s go look for him right away!¡¡Come on!" "No, I''m going to drink some tea and pick some more berries." They have consumed much of what White picked. I want to pick at least a few more spring raspberries and . "No, no, I''ll go with you to find the cavalry now!¡¡Let''s leave the berries behind!" "What?¡¡Don''t you want me to stay here tonight?" "......!" Bingo? "Okay, let''s pick berries." I start humming and picking <, and Dragonut fusses with me. "So, after all your talk about the cavalry, you''re so quick to sacrifice other things when they''re more important." "Because you''re so close to your summoner!¡¡I apologize for any misunderstanding!¡¡We will eliminate those who harm the beast that will be the rider, but we will not stand in the way of making the right connections!" "You can''t tell me why you don''t want him here, but you can''t trust him with the cavalry?¡¡Hmmm?" I wouldn''t trust a man I''ve never met before to suddenly wrap me in a bamboo mat. "Okay!¡¡I''ll talk to you!" Huh?¡¡Trust (that way)! I thought there was something mixed in with the favor of the gods effect that increased the likability of the residents, but maybe that''s why!¡¡Are you okay, you dragonut, you''re not going to live the rest of your life being cheated, are you? "But if you tell another human being what I am about to tell you, or if you harm anything that appears here, I will do my best to kill you." "Yes." The pupils of the dragonet''s eyes narrow. "It''s Miss ...... who''s going to be out here, ah,ah,ah,ah,ah,ah,ah,ah,ah,ah,ah,ah,ah!!!!" "What?" "I was wondering where I''ve seen that before!" Mr. Dragonewt suddenly starts screaming. He''s a very restless man, fidgeting and shouting. Maybe it''s a man. I''m not sure I can tell the difference between a male and a female when I meet a lizardman, but I wonder if I can tell the difference between a dragonet and a lizardman. I heard that it is difficult for humans to distinguish between male and female lizardmen, since they do not have different breasts, the male''s p*n*s is stored inside his body like most reptiles, and his voice is a squeaky breath. I looked at his chest and crotch, but he was wearing clothes, Mr. Dragonet. At least he has no breasts. He looks more human than Lizardman, and I have no problem judging from his low voice. "Hey, are you sure that white summoner you just saw was a mystiff? "What?¡¡Oh, it''s Mistiff, you know?" I''m being crowded out for some reason. Please call me! "Don''t be absurd, it will be three hours before I can call you again." And I left it ringing. Normally, they are called only when necessary and returned frequently to allow time to call them back in the middle of battle. "Three hours ......" "What the hell is this?" After a sigh, Dragonut speaks up. "It''s Mistiff who comes out here." "Yeah?" "It''s a mystiff." "Oh?" "Hey, why are you so reactive? I waited for the next word, then got scolded! "I know it''s Mistiff who comes out here, and I know it''s the White Brotherhood, but so what?" You don''t know the value of a Mistyph pelt! "I know very well that white fur is the best fur." I listened carefully to what he had to say because something was not quite right. Myspheres only appear in our world at night under the moonlight, but their numbers have been drastically reduced due to overhunting because of their pelts. It is said that the number of Mistyphs has been decreasing dramatically because of their pelts. It was especially bad long ago when Princess Beauty, who had made her name known all over the continent, announced that she would become the wife of whoever spread Mistyph pelts in their bedchamber, and was hunted down by those who wanted the princess herself, those who wanted the throne, and those who wanted Mistyph pelts by copying her. --Just when the white was on the rampage. Of course, nowadays, Mistyhu pelts are extremely expensive. "That''s why Mysphees are so rare, and my master has ordered me to give them priority over cavalry animals. I have never seen a white Mysutiff before." Mysphets are usually brown, with only white or black on their chest, belly, tail, and the tips of their arms and legs. "These are Mysphets that we have protected from all over the world. They are not really suitable for the shelter of their masters, so they are in this half-way house." "Who are the masters?" When you think of a dragon, you think of a dragon. He''s on his way. "Hmm?" As I was about to ask back, I was hit by a considerable wind pressure from above. I held my feet to keep from being blown away and raised my arms to protect my face from the sand and gravel, but it soon subsided. "You are the master of the white mystiff! "Hmm?¡¡Mr. Dragonut (...)?" It has a chest and feathers? There was a girl with magnificent golden curls that reached to her knees and golden eyes. She was equipped with feathers. I think it was something bigger than that, judging from the wind pressure, but it was a girl who seemed to have a big tone, but not as big as my chest. Who''s a dragonet!¡¡Do you not recognize me? I am Pertin, the Golden Dragon Pertin, master of this mountain range." ...... don''t know. I would like to tell the girl who answers proudly that the only dragons I have seen are "Flesh" and "Bahamut". I don''t want to say either of those things because I feel like I shouldn''t. "I''ve never seen a dragon in human form." "It is not every day that a man comes face to face with a dragon, so I have taken a more familiar form to make it easier for you to talk to him. But it is certainly confusing, and I forgive you for your earlier rudeness. He glanced at Mr. Dragoneut and compared it with his own form, seeming to have come to the conclusion that he could not blame himself for making a mistake. They are beautiful and lovely looking, but their eyes betray this. Her eyes are rimmed with long lashes and seem to spill out, but there is an intensity in the way they look at you that belies their appearance. So much so that even if the girl had told you she was a dragon, you would have believed her. "But still, human, do you speak normally when you see me?" "What is it?¡¡Do you want me to respect you?" "No, though I have it under control, I am still the master of these mountains, and I give off a strong vibe to others. I''m not very good at controlling it, if I do say so myself. Are you not afraid? Not really, huh? "Huh?" I''ve never met gods or Bahamut, so I''m not afraid of them. I also realized when I met Verus that the gods must have suppressed their divine energy to a great extent. He may have been suppressing it, but he was still full of godliness. Well, I was fine when I met Verus, perhaps because I was used to it. If I had been hit by his divine energy, I might have knelt down in awe and respect, even if the way he appeared on stage was a little stupid. Dangerous, dangerous. And now I am sitting in the bed of Paltin the Golden Dragon, drinking tea and waiting for the time to summon White again. Mr. Dragonut remains where he is, picking raspberries on Paltin''s order, watching the Mysphean''s place for any offenders. He has a digger, but no pickers. is the fruit of this meeting (?). I''ll pick again when I''m done, as I''m sure the parts I''ve already picked will be restored. Mr. Dragonut, you are absolutely obedient to Mr. Paltin. I felt that he treated me quite badly, but he obeyed me so happily that I wondered why. Life is life. The dragon that grants life to a dragon does not give life so casually, because to give life to a dragon is to weaken itself unless it replenishes its power, and it is rare for a dragonet to be granted life even if it longs for the dragon and desires its power. It is said that Dragonut is a race that long ago mixed the blood of dragons with that of demons or humans, and that it has a strong yearning for dragons, almost worshiping them, and a desire to renounce its mixed blood and become a dragon itself again. I read about this in a book ....... Is this one of the ways to return to dragons? If I keep this up, my dream is going to come true in about two more molts," said Mr. Dragonut happily, though I couldn''t make out his expression, his voice sounded happy. The structure of his face is so different from ours that we cannot read the small changes in his facial expression unless he gives us a very big reaction. By the way, the next molt will be in forty years if nothing happens. ....... "Is that white really a mystiff?" "He said so, and you say so too, Dragonut, so you must be a mystiff, right?¡¡I don''t know, I''ve never seen a Mistiff that wasn''t white." "Well, then I can''t say much about them when I see them. If it''s your summoner, I guess it''s all right. Paltin is fidgeting. He is said to be a fluffy ski, but he is a poor dragon who has a dilemma because of his strong metallic nature and is aware that he does not have a good influence on spirit beasts, so he cannot come close to them. "I''ve already done something in the past," he says, "and one of the mystiffs can''t return to the spirit world after the dawn of night. Parthin is sullen. This seems to be the reason why he cannot invite Mistyf to his bed and protect her. South of the mountain range where Paltin is usually found, the Barron side has fewer trees and more rocky terrain. Instead, mineral resources are said to be abundant, and dragons with strong attributes and powerful spirits influence even the climate and terrain with their attributes. "What happened to that Mistyph that can''t come back?" She has promised me the protection of other Mistiffs and is traveling the world to see if there are any Mistiffs left. She was a strong one." A pitch-black Mistyph, they say. I''d like to take a look. After listening to Paltin''s story and talking about the effects of the title of "feeder," I serve him some food, and in return he shares some of the dragon ore in his bedchamber, it''s time to re-summon the mystiff, so we move on to the mystiff''s habitat. He had moved all the way to the sleeping quarters because Paltin did not want to disturb the environment by staying in the habitat for too long for the aforementioned reason. Incidentally, when Paltin returned to his dragon form, he grabbed me by the eagle and carried me away. "Oh, is it time to go?" Mr. Dragonut notices us and comes up to us. "Yes, I can call him now." The sun is setting, leaving only a faint orange cloud along the horizon, and it''s time for Mysphe to leave. With both of them looking at me, I call out White. "What, you''re not in a battle?" The first thing that comes out of his mouth is this. I don''t know why I''ve become so belligerent. "White, let me introduce you. This is Parthin the Golden Dragon. At any rate, let me introduce Paltin, whose fluffy tail is glued to the ground and whose eyes sparkle. I am White. So you''ve decided that a gold dragon is a cavalryman?¡¡Fancy." I thought I heard Paltin and Mr. Dragonet freeze. 102 - - The Riding Beast "White, no, no, no. This is the dragon of the mountain range, not the cavalryman." What''s the difference? Well, let''s not fluff it up. The summoning time is over because we''re talking about deciding who gets to be a cavalryman. "Your summoner is a little out of touch if you treat Mr. Parthin as a cavalryman. ......" Mr. Dragonet frowns between his eyebrows and mumbles. But no eyebrows. "Hmm. But surely Mistiff ...... has longer hair than the Mistiffs I know, and is really white." I thought that calling him a cavalryman might put him in a bad mood, but he can''t seem to take his eyes off the white fluff. "I won''t do it!" I know you have a dilemma about not getting closer, but just in case, I''ll put a nail in your hand. "Mmm ......, it''s okay. In fact, I think it''s time to consider moving to a safer place for the Mysphets here." "Attributes are a hard thing to find, aren''t they?" Is this what a lonely smile looks like, when you want to take them back to your sleeping quarters and fluff them up as much as you can? If there were thirty of them sleeping together, they would not only be able to fluff you up as much as they wanted, but they would probably be able to fluff you up as much as they wanted. "Bai, this Mistyph under Paltin''s protection is going to be here. Wanna meet her? What? "Mistiff." There are survivors! "They say they''re almost extinct, but they''re out there in the middle of nowhere, in places guarded by spirits." "The population would have been extinct if they had lived separately, but Master Parthin collected one or two, and now the population has finally exceeded 30. Many of the surviving individuals have been selected or are strong, and fortunately, even though the number is small, they have managed to sustain the species. "Well, human greed knows no bounds. When I had just become a full-grown dragon, had it not been for the rampage of Husfarn, a mutant of Myspheus, that destroyed our country, we might have been destroyed indeed. And now we humans are no longer so furry." "......" We also wave a silent white here and there. Was it a mistake to choose human as a race? No, the essence remains the same no matter which race we choose. There are many good humans, Galahad and his friends, Luba and the boy Julius. But... I can''t say that they and I won''t hunt them all down if we need their skins for production. I can''t say "don''t hunt". Everything in this world is more or less killing others for food and comfort. But we can''t just go against them without being prepared to suffer the same fate. It is ridiculous to think that only human beings will not perish. They have the right to kill too. Perhaps reading my expression, Mr. Dragonewt speaks to me. I don''t deny that it is said that the gods sealed the beast because it destroyed many nations, but I somehow understood at the time of Bahamut that it is actually not true. The seal (that) is only because it broke the boundary. It is not because they killed many people and destroyed the country. "Well, I may be a little sentimental, but I''m not going to change my way of life." I wave a fluttering hand at Mr. Dragonute. "I''m sure you''ll be fine." You''re not making any sense. You left some wild plants. That was for next year, wasn''t it? He laughs his head off. "...... I just want to eat again next year." When I mumble, something seeps into my vision like running water. It grows and grows, until it takes on a definite color and shape. "Short." The short hair, aside from being brown, makes it look like a completely different creature from the white one. Round-cropped?¡¡Is it round-cropped!¡¡No, it''s velvety and shiny and beautiful! Not fluffy enough! "Master Partin, it''s been a long time." "Faria, it''s been a long time." A fluffy individual with longer fur than the others and white chest hairs came forward. Is it possible that the more fluffy, the stronger? White is frozen at my shoulder in front of his compatriot. Mistiff, called Faria, is being hugged by Paltin. She looks trusting as she rests her face on Paltin''s cheek, and Paltin looks blissful. And I am looking at Mistiff from a distance, something that is just barely not said in the least. The human tribe is a little on the small side. "Faria is more powerful than the others and I have no problem touching her for a short time. He is the leader of this troop. "I cannot say my name because of the presence of others, but my name is as Master Partin just called it." Ah, I''d forgotten that things in the spirit world only tell their own names to those whom they have designated as their masters. "M......, you too, introduce yourself to me." He slapped me on the cheek. White is a pseudonym, so why not?¡¡You told the Parthins your name. Oh, the Hasferns? "Hus ......" I was about to say it, but he pecked me on the mouth. Fluff is good, but paw pads are good too. The usual one. White. And I''m Homura. The other party doesn''t seem to be interested in humans, or perhaps they don''t need them, but I''ll say my name anyway. White, new friends are welcome. Homura also apologizes for the impolite glances from Mistiff and the others, but he was brought here by Mr. Partin and I''m sure he knows he''s not going to do anything to us. ......" "Don''t worry about what humans are to Myspheus, I just asked Mr. Dragonut. I''m sorry if I made you uncomfortable." "Well, don''t worry about this one, as usual." With a clap of hands, Paltin''s words caused the distant mystics to disappear. "Why don''t you come and join us, White?" No, just seeing him is enough. No, it is enough that I have seen you. We have been so far apart that I do not know how to treat you. Besides, I am your summoned beast. Cute little white, my boy is the prettiest. He''d bite me if I told you. "It''s going to get noisy here soon because of me. We''ll have to find a place to settle before then." "It''s not your fault, Mr. Partin." "It''s going to be noisy?" It seems as if players are rushing in to catch the cavalry, but that''s not the mood I''m in. "Next year is the year of the tree, and the next year is the year of fire. "Yeah?" "Master Parthin is being courted by a green dragon and a fire dragon. Pertin-sama is stronger than them, but in the years when their attributes are stronger, they always try to mess with him. "The fighting is getting more and more intense, and I don''t know when it''s going to come to this place." "Wait, does a dragon''s approach to love mean fighting?" That''s a little disturbing, isn''t it? "Some people like each other, but they''re attracted to the stronger ones." You''re beastly in that way. You almost forget you''re a dragon when you''re talking to someone who looks like a person. Dragons are extreme, huh?¡¡Does that mean Bahamut is popular in the dragon world? I''ve never been that popular with my owners, and yet, look at me: ......!¡¡At any rate, I''m going to shake the white one. You''d better get your hands on a beast of prey Oh, by the way... I must warn you in advance. "I am one of the Gentiles, and maybe one day more will come here to get the cavalry." What, is that true? "I think there''s still a while, maybe." I got the information about the cavalry from Galahad and the others. They tried to hide it, but I am sure that Percival and the others have one too, and it is only a matter of time before it spreads. Once the word gets out, they will come looking for them, and since there is a bulletin board, it won''t be long before someone posts something about them. "Well, this is the only place on this continent where there are many cavalry beasts that can carry people and follow them. "I hope they show some guts and go hunt a fire dragon or something." I wonder if there are different cavaliers on different continents. And you, Mr. Dragonut, are you getting a little too frustrated with the fire dragon? "Sorry to bother you." I''m the one who came for the cavalry. No, the cavalry''s fine as long as you make the right connections. I''d rather encourage it." "Hmm?¡¡I thought the numbers would go down from here." From here on. "Generally speaking, a cavalier is said to be the reincarnation of a who was named after his master and became a . There are rare, strong individuals who are named by their surroundings, and who have a sense of self without a master." "It is said that when an ordinary beast dies, it becomes one large, individualistic mass of souls of the same species, and when it is named, it becomes an individual with a budding ego, so that when it dies, its soul cannot return to it, nor does it want to. After a few rebirths, the ego disappears and the soul becomes a part of the mass again. Even if there are no memories, the thought of not wanting to disappear as an individual remains, doesn''t it? "The beasts here are different from beasts of the same species elsewhere, except in form and ability. You can bring a wild beast to its knees and give it a name, but I''d rather you choose one of the beasts here if you can." If we don''t give it a new name, it will revert to a mere beast. Ah, that''s why Tasya led us here, saying that Bahamut can be made into a beast, but this is the only place where people can make a bond with a beast. "What are you going to do with the cavalry beast when you get it?" "It makes it easier to get around. I want to go and see. And if I find a nice place, I can buy a house." !¡¡Buy now, and take care of the Mistiffs here until we find a place to move them!" White, who had been quiet, leaned his head back and shouted. "No, no, White, it won''t be decided so soon. Also, isn''t it a little sensitive for the other (Mistiff) to be sheltered by a human?" "No, that''s better. No, that''s better. A human being doesn''t have enough bias to influence Mistiff. They would be useless in a human city, but if we build one in a remote place, we can talk to the spirits and dragons there. Affirmative. "The Frontier ......" There are transfers, but they are difficult to get to. What about a home you can''t go back to? Let''s see, should we build a hut for mystics somewhere in the middle of nowhere? How about in the Elven Lost Forest? "Oh, that sounds like a good environment!¡¡I don''t feel safe with the elves either, but that''s the point, let''s say a word to the old man of the world tree. There may be stragglers, but inside the house is a kind of ward, and it is much safer than here. I thought Elf~ was by continent ......?¡¡Where are you taking me? "Then how about an isolated island?¡¡If you build it on an island where people don''t stop by in the first place!" "No, then I''ll talk to the sea dragons to make sure no ships come near the island, and I''ll ask the spirits of the air to take care of the sky!¡¡We couldn''t do anything fancy here because of the proximity of human activity, but on an isolated island, there''s no need to be shy!" Isn''t that a pussy that I won''t be able to stop by too? "Hey you two!¡¡This is not your house. Homura-san looks very delicate." Mr. Dragonut stopped me. "No....... If it''s your house, it''s also my house, right?¡¡Nah?" "What!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" He tilted his head and rubbed his face against me, then kissed me on the nose. A nose kiss? "d*mn, I can''t help it. ......" I replied, "It''s not my fault. But the way Mr. Dragonet looked at me hurt. "Well, now that you''ve decided that, I''d like you to do me a favor before the next full moon." "No, it''s impossible to find an island and build one, isn''t it?¡¡How do you own the island in the first place?" "Hmm, I don''t understand the time sense of the human race or their rules and regulations. "First of all, I don''t even know if there are craftsmen who would come to build in such a remote area." "Don''t you have some kind of ball over there?¡¡You know, store the whole house and build it wherever you want." "Ah, <>. There is also a <> for the interior. I heard that you can increase the number of rooms designed by an architect by using , and change the design of floors, walls, and pillars by using made by a carpenter. However, it is only possible to make them with high-level skills and the blank balls are expensive. "That looks expensive!" At any rate, one room is all I need. "Shall I bring some more dragon ore?¡¡That''s the kind of stone that will turn into the stuff around there if I stay long enough, so don''t be shy, okay?" "Let me think about it after we decide on a location. If I like it, it''s my house and I''ll pay for it. If I don''t like the place, I''ll come and get it. But first, how are we going to find an isolated island?¡¡Are there any flying type of cavalrymen?" Then I''ll lend you Reno." "Yeah, yeah, yeah!¡¡Excuse me, Mr. Partin. £¡£¡£¡£¡" "I''d like to know how Mistiff is doing. Reno is fast on the ground and can fly for half a day or so." Wait, sir, you can''t! Mr. Dragonet is in a hurry. I wonder if he is Mr. Dragoneut''s cavalryman. "What kind of a Reno is this?" In response to my question, Paltin smiles and points at Mr. Dragonut. Yes? I am pleased to inform you that the first player belonging to on the Isle has just appeared. This information is now available to the public. The < on the Isle is open to students of all ages, provided they meet the requirements. There are opportunities to acquire various skills without skill points by studying at the Academy. For more information, please see the menu. Yes? 103 - - The Mountain "No, no, no?" That''s not the same as a cavalryman, is it? Definitely not, right? Where are you going to ride? How do I look? A cavalryman is a kind of pet, right? How can this be a pet? Does such a culture exist in this world? There should be no slavery on the human side, right? I heard that the demons enslave the beastmen. Master Parthin! "I may have given you my power, but you are too metallic. This is a good opportunity for you to get away from me for a while. When you have matched your original attribute of water, you may return. Mr. Dragonewt, who is sulking, flaps his hand toward Reno and gestures to me to follow him. "No, no?¡¡I want to be a cavalryman, something softer and hairier, you know?" "There''s nothing here that''s soft and hairy and can run through the air, okay?¡¡The most affordable because it flies is a griffin. The only flying, fluffy ones are the cavalry beasts of the elven continent, and I wouldn''t take that long. You can hold out for a Reno and switch later." "You gather all kinds of strange things around you. If this is the only way to find a site for the cavalry, for the sake of my people, I''ll leave you alone in the meantime, find a home." "......" White''s permission to pretend! But ......! I looked at Reno and saw that he was about to sink into the ground, and if left unchecked, he looked like he was about to grow mushrooms. I don''t think he''s going to get any help. "No, I don''t want Leno to stay with me all the time. I have five friends with whom I often work, though not permanently. Six is the maximum for a party, give it up!¡¡Don''t let my temporary fluff get in the way of my fluff too!¡¡Hang in there, me! "Hmm, I''ll lend you this." ?" Then he puts something on Reno, not on me, turns around and says to me again. "It is a ring of summoning. It summons the one wearing the other half of the <> by force. We can usually leave Reno free to do whatever he wants, and summon him." I don''t need that kind of bad taste." You put a collar on Leno! Don''t be shy. Paltin takes my right hand and tries to put a ring on it. "No, no, no, don''t be shy!" I clench my fist and try to pull my hand out, but he pinches my arm at my side to hold it in place and try to open my fingers. Hey, Mr. Partin, your breasts!¡¡My chest!¡¡No, this is not the time, me! "Give it up." "Hey, white!¡¡Don''t tickle me!" I... . . . A few minutes later, Parthin looks refreshed. The dragon was strong, and his equipment could beat him in terms of speed, but if he had been caught first, the game was lost. I never succumbed to the ...... chest and the fluff. I knew the "ude hishi giju gatame" (Íó´ìÊ®×Ö¹Ì), but it was the first time I had ever been hit with it, and I wasn''t upset about my thighs or anything else. Mr. Dragon has no shame. Apart from kicking Leo, I wonder if I should get some [Fighting] or something. "You look around. Alone, or with Homura, or with someone else. It''s nice to be single-minded, but you''ll be crushed when your wish comes true." He said this to Reno, who sank into a gloomy state as if mushrooms had grown, and flew away ......, returning. "You can come back when there''s a full moon, anyway. I''m sure you need something to protect your mystif." I''m not sure if I have a soft spot for Reno or for Mistiff. As I watch the golden dragon fly away, I try to gently remove the ring on the little finger of my right hand and sigh when it doesn''t come off. A slender ring of pink gold with light and dark pink gems like flower petals. It is obviously a woman''s ring. This is another design change! I leave the gloomy Leno to his own devices and start picking berries as planned, while Mistiff, who seems to be on a date, is in my sight. Now I want to be free. I wrap most of my body in a hood, and pick berries impatiently, occasionally giving them to a happy white in a fixed position with his face sticking out of his shoulder. Berries can be used in fruit water, jams, gelato, tarts, smoothies, even in brandy. I thought carbonated water could be made with citric acid and baking soda. It''s too much trouble, and I wonder if there is a soda fountain somewhere. After imagining delicious food and feeling much better, I ask White about Mistiff in between collecting. "The trouble is that Mistyf can only take turns in the material world (here). It is similar to the story of the soul of the cavalryman, but in the spirit world, the individual is less important, and two Mistyphs can become one Mistyph if they are not treated together before they take their turns. We cannot stay in the spirit world. On the night of the full moon, the spirit world and the material world were closer, and many mystics were misled by the moonlight and failed to return to the spirit world and were caught. This explains why Paltin told them to come back to Reno at the full moon and to have a house by the full moon. In the spirit world, not only mystics but also spirits gather and blend together at whim, creating powerful spirits that become close to the spirit king, and then split up again at whim, making the boundary between individuals a thin one. The reason why spirits, who are with names, make contracts with people in order to maintain their individuality is essentially the same as that of a mounted beast seeking an owner. "Homura-san!" "Oh?¡¡You''re back." Please make me your beast! "You''ve suddenly blown it." More than blown off, shaken off? "If Master Partin says so, then there must be something I''m missing!¡¡Please help us find out!" I think the direction I swung off in was a dead end direction, and my vision remained narrow. "I will endure the humiliation of temporarily becoming a beast of prey in order to learn the teachings of Master Parthin and become a dragon! Oh, it seems to have gotten rather bad, doesn''t it? "Are you desperate?" Now, where is your first destination? "Wait. I don''t mind riding with you, but I don''t want to ride on a humanoid, do you?" "It''s too dark today to search for an isolated island. I thought Homura was going to the Starry Hills?" White says over the words I am speaking. "Yes!¡¡It''s a starry hill. "No, wait, how are you going to get him to ride?" I was beaten quickly. "Here I go, don''t bite your tongue." "Whoa, whoa, whoa!" Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh (Doppler effect) Dear Sir or Madam To those who have heard my screams The ride was terrible, but Dragonut''s legs were fast. Sincerely yours VIT has been increased due to <. Not! I''m glad I have [Sickness Tolerance]. Fast, fast, but it''s hard to have your organs shuffled around without any maintenance. I wonder what it would be like to ride an ostrich at high speed. I''ve never even ridden an ostrich, but I''m sure it''s probably just my body posture? Thanks to Leno''s dexterity in bending forward, I was in a more stable position than I expected, but my upper body was agitated by the strong winds at speed and I had a hard time staying on the boat. If I was not careful, I might have fallen backward and been dragged by the back of my head. By the way, White returned home quickly. And here comes the effect of training. I had heard that it could be increased outside of battle, but I never thought it could be increased by something like this. Was it so severe that it counts as training? I am lying on the ground on the starry hill. The last time I was here, I was lying down and enjoying the starry sky. Humans are weak in the outer shell. I don''t have anything like that in the first place. "Tigal''s stardust, I''ll dig for it, I''ve got [mining] too. He seems to be willing to help me, though my appeal was pleasantly ignored. I was not surprised to see a mining point at Paltin''s roost, but considering Paltin''s words, Reno is water-based. So it''s not "fishing. I wonder what he chose to do before he met Paltin. I''m still a bit wobbly, but I can''t leave the digging to Raino, who has nothing to do with it, so I begin digging. After digging two places, I finally remembered the existence of recovery and refreshment. I still don''t know what my titles and skills are. I still don''t know how to use the right skills and magic when needed, and I still have a long way to go. I received the stardust of Tigal from Reno and tried to pay him for it, but he refused. I am going to fall asleep in the real world. It''s my day off, but I have a lot of things to do at home and at the store, so I''ll get up early and log in. I tell him that I''ll be asleep for almost two days because of my gentile nature (...) and that I have some errands to run afterwards and that I''d like to leave to find a place to live. He said he would clean up the place he had been living and a few other things he had left undone. I''ve pushed a few meals on him, since it would be too much trouble to cook for him now. As for the "feeder," I was told lightly, "It''s not like we''re only involved because we like each other, and if we''re going to be involved anyway, it''s better if we like each other. I''m going to skip the explanation of this title now, since it''s too tedious. I have to deal with the general store when I wake up. Then I''ll check with Al of the Adventurers'' Guild to see what the ownership of an island far from the continent is. It would be a disaster if it turns out to be a water supply for a ship when I thought it was an isolated island. Come to think of it, I wonder if Reno would make a scene if it entered a human town. I''ll have to check on that, too. More things to check! We will magically transfer to the diaspora, and then to the store through the temple gate. Check the consignment of dexterity rings and buy some materials. Search for metal materials to make accessories. Silver seems to be expensive since there are still many players who use it to raise the level of production. There were a few items for sale in magic silver (mithril), so I sold the silver and other things I found with <> at the Starry Hills and bought some items. After I bought them, I noticed that they are made by a player. I wonder what it is? Is it a skill of the smith?¡¡Or is it possible to synthesize around dark or light magic in silver by alchemy? I''ve already sold my silver, so I''ll experiment next time I get it. is transparent like a drop of water. Tascha told me to work on the shape when I made the . We can cut it to increase the reflective surface, but it will be difficult to use it if it shines during the adventure. I wonder if a round or teardrop shape would be better? I have a smooth cut with low reflection, a round brilliant cut with high reflection, and a pear-shaped brilliant cut. By the way, the cuts were produced by skill. < or something like that. The written explanation of the skill did not make sense to me, but after I bought a book on jewelry at Isle, it became easier to imagine the skill because it is illustrated. I would like to have a preview of the finished product. The <, refined from the cut , shines very pale and blue. What color would be best to put a magic circle here? Assuming that it will be left on for a long time, the finished product should be simple enough to never get tired of. In addition, it should not be distracting when other precious metals are attached. What would be the best color for a modest piece of jewelry? It''s a hassle, so I''ll just go with blue. The inks I purchased are blue, red, and green. By the way, red and green together make yellow, which seems to be the three primary colors of light. If all of them are combined, it will be white. I''ll make my own ink one of these days. Thanks to [Storage], I don''t have to worry about the amount of stuff I have. Well, I''m not so good with the items I''m forgetting. There are levels of [Magic circle], but as the level goes up, you can use more ink, paper, or leather, instead of learning magic circle. Eventually, it is said that it is possible to create attack magic from magic circles in the air or summon something, but for now, I am satisfied with being able to create magic stones if I can write on paper with commercially available ink. A too strong magic circle will break if it is not placed in a larger gemstone or a gemstone of higher rank. <, I can make bigger ones if I keep stacking the same ones with alchemy, but that doesn''t fit the purpose of this project. It seems to be possible to make one with <<>, but I haven''t tried this one. I have not tried this one, but it is small but of high rank, so any magic circle I can make seems to be OK. The magic circle can be as simple as runes, or as complex and bizarre as a hexagram, pentagram, or star symbols in a double or triple circle. Once you have drawn all of them without making any mistakes, you will be able to draw them easily, but once you have to draw them by yourself. Since <<> is not bad with blue ink, and it seems to be a good effect for anyone to put it on, <> should be put in <>. It should increase the critical rate and the drop rate during the battle, though only slightly. If my level of "magic circle making" is high and I can prepare non-commercial ink, I can make a more effective <<< good luck magic circle>>, but I am afraid of being too particular and missing the time. Making pendants, rings and ear cufflinks, I made a ring and two ear cufflinks made of mithril using <<>, which was a little more effective than the others. The shape is simple, but I worked hard on the openwork and so on. Yes, it is inevitable that the amount of ear cuffs and rings is a bit large. I chose the best ones for Galahad and his friends out of the several I had made. When I finished the work, I forgot to buy bedding and had to run to the inn. That''s all for today. Good night. 104 - - 102. Gathering information? Good morning. It''s a nice morning for a vacation. Though before ten o''clock is not generally called morning! Let''s make ochazuke today. I bought the ingredients yesterday on my way home from work, but it was too much trouble so I made it simple. Wasabi chazuke with seaweed, sesame seeds, and one pickled plum. It may be a bit lackluster, but it''s early in the morning and it will soon be lunchtime. There is also salmon, but it is a hassle to clean up after grilling. I grill it with foil at noon. The good thing about roasting with foil is that you can just throw away the foil and it''s all gone. We get in and head for the Adventurers'' Guild. We had a good breakfast at the inn, and both the hostess and the innkeeper seem to have improved their skills. This is the morning, and the best part is that the inn is not for adventurers, so there are no meals served after hours. Even though it is morning, there are many people on the street, and those who come and go seem to be busy. Some of them seem to be returning from the morning market. Entering the Adventurer''s Guild is a cautious decision. It seems that Emel''s button jumps when I approach the guild, so be careful. The receptionist''s job is basically behind the counter, but sometimes she comes out to the lobby to post requests and notices on the bulletin board. After the early morning wave of requests has subsided, it''s time for a little slower chores and a break. Except for urgent requests, there is usually a fixed time to put up the bulletin board. If we post them one after another in the empty spaces, there will be a lot of people waiting for a good request to appear. New adventurers often come early in the morning in order to get a good number of requests or to get the best ones first. Late comers take the less expensive, but quicker requests and leave, hoping to finish one of them rather than waiting for the next one to be posted. After that, D- and C-rank adventurers come to take on slightly more difficult but still time-sensitive requests. By then, new votes are put up on the bulletin boards vacated by early-morning requests, requests for gathering and defeating at places of higher ranks, although they are requests for F and E ranks, and - although they are requests for F and E ranks, they can be received at places that are a little far or something like that. Mix in a request that is notably unpopular, out of proportion to the sil. Normally, it is a matter of white eyes for C-rank and above to take on F- and E-rank requests for newcomers, but only for the requests that appear at this time of the day, nothing is said, and in fact, they are welcomed. The C-rank requests are for "do something about the overabundance of demons! and a race against time! There is no particular complaint if a high ranking person accepts such a request. Then again, a new request for F/E is posted in the afternoon. It''s tough being a resident adventurer. As I head for the stairs to the reference room, I see a red-haired receptionist walking carefully from the cafeteria with a tray of coffee cups in her hand. "Kya!" I step forward and hold out my hand, and a red ponytail falls into my arms. My arm is a little too close to my chest, but that''s forgivable, it''s a force majeure. I was busy with the tray of coffee. The tray is about 20 centimeters off the ground, but I gently put < on the tray and successfully retrieve it without spilling any coffee. "Oh, wow!" "I envy you, I envy you, I envy you, I envy you." "Geeaaaahhhh £¡£¡£¡£¡" "Nanaaaaahhhhhhhhh!" "I wish I could have supported you!" The receptionist''s chaperone is at work today. What a play, Emel skipping buttons and Nana tripping over nothing and falling down in front of me. Is this a part of Asha''s "flirtatious instructor"?¡¡Maybe if you don''t hold out your hand you''ll see a pantie. By the way, Plum plays that I bump into him when I turn a corner, only he bumps into me because I don''t fall down. Maybe if I fall down, he will put his hand on my chest or face or something. That''s just not cool. "I''m sorry!" The reason for the gasps and groans was apparently that I had shifted my position and my skirt had become slightly disheveled, exposing my thighs to the point where they would normally not be visible. I turned bright red and adjusted my skirt as I hurriedly moved away. It didn''t go all the way down to her pants, but it was a glimpse of her thighs. "No, be careful." After making sure he has calmed down, he hands over the tray and heads for the stairs. Sorry, sorry, it''s my fault. The stares from the gallery are painful, so I quickly leave. They often say to be considerate and take time off from the busy time, but in my case, it might be right to come quietly and go up to the reference room during the busy time when the receptionist can''t move from the counter. The Guild''s receptionists are early in the morning, but they have longer breaks. They are busy like a battlefield during the time when the request forms are posted, but after that the counter is not so busy, so they take turns to have a long break. It is early in the morning at the workshop, and it is normal to live with the sun in this area. Hello. "Hi." "Brought you something." Thank you." I enter the reference room and greet Al. "I''ll make you some tea, shall we move?" Eating and drinking are not allowed in the reference room, but more and more often I am invited to Al''s private room, or the archives room, in the reference room. Eating and drinking are allowed here, and Al''s meals are brought from the cafeteria (below) and eaten here. While the reference room is well organized and efficient, we have to proceed carefully not to destroy the piles of papers and books on the floor. "I haven''t had breakfast yet. He happily makes me a cup of tea. "Something sweet so early in the morning. You want a sandwich?" "I''m glad you''re here." My gift is a pastry, as it is supposed to be handed out to the receptionist as well. I have a friend who eats bread for breakfast, or a lot of jam!¡¡I''d rather not. I mean, I was once invited to stay over after a drinking party, but after he served me a piece of toast with Nutella spread on the whole surface of the toast about 5mm thick for breakfast, it became a no-no for me. I can eat a sweet pastry or two, depending on its size, so the fact that I can''t eat sweet pastries or sweet meals is completely a reaction to that experience. By the way, Nutella is a kind of hazelnut paste mixed with chocolate, sugar and condensed milk. "This sandwich is also delicious, I don''t like sandwiches because they make the bread soggy, but this one doesn''t." "Thank you?" So?¡¡What do you want to hear?" I''m glad you''re so perceptive. "What about the rights of islands that people don''t know about that are far away from the continent?" "The sea is basically a free zone without borders, but there is an unspoken understanding that the area visible from the island to ordinary fishing boats in the sea is under the jurisdiction of that country." "I see." There is no agreement on territorial waters, except for straits visible from both countries. "Any island discovered in the visible area belongs to the state, and the discoverer will receive a reward of some kind. For other islands, the owner is the one who has effective control over the island. He swallows his sandwich and moves on. "I''ve built a house in the nearest country," he says, "and I think it belongs to that person. These cucumbers are delicious. It''s not my favorite vegetable, but it''s so delicious even though it''s just a sandwich. There are three types of sandwiches: fresh cucumber slices that are taut enough to snap with a little effort, a BLT-style sandwich where the filling is thicker than the bread, and an egg sandwich. "If you''re close enough, it can be used as a trade stop and practically taken away," he says. If you venture too far out, you''ll have a hard time finding it. In the past, mages have built towers on islands in the open sea. The problem is getting to and from the island, which is difficult without that ability, and there are demons." I wonder if the supply points will be taken up by countries or traders, but it''s not going to be pretty everywhere. "And can a dragonut enter a human city?" "A dragonut is another unusual name. They are treated differently from tribe to tribe because they have different personalities. For the time being, they should be registered with the guild so that the guild will know exactly which tribe they belong to. Even for the less aggressive tribes, if you are not registered with the guild, you are only allowed to stay in town for one night. I hear that fire dragons and black dragons lose their temper and are indiscriminate even when talking normally. During this period, the residents must be tagged in a visible place as a sign that the guild is aware of their belongings. This also applies to some tribes of beastmen. "Oh, so if you want them to live in this city, you can just bring them here?" Al, who was about to drink his tea, looked as if he had swallowed a stick. "You know, Dragonutes are pretty rare. Because of their high abilities, they usually look down on people and generally don''t go near human towns. Because of their proximity to dragons, they prefer to sleep in forests, caves, and other places with strong outside attributes. You don''t see that very often." The strong-attribute places are often far away from human cities, and since the number of dragonutes themselves is small and they are in such places, they have not been seen in cities for the past hundred years, if ever. Another reason for the lack of sightings may be the fact that most of the adults live solo. "I see. So, even if they are supposed to work together, would it be better for the Dragonut to leave them alone at night to go wherever they want? "There are tribal differences, so it''s hard to say. You''re at ......, aren''t you?¡¡Dragonut." I had to take him on a field trip. You''re pretty weird yourself, aren''t you? "Normal, normal." I get a look of dismay from the other side of the cup. "Oh, and this." What is it? "Give them to the three receptionists with the pastries, one for the trouble." Five accessories. One for Al, one for the receptionist, and one for someone else at Al''s discretion, probably Gilmas. Reno helped me with the mining, so I have some time to spare. "An accessory with anti-possession feature, for a bit of extra luck". "Minor ability." "When the seal of the evil god is loosened, that kind of thing will be popular." "Ahead of the curve?" "Yes." A moment of silence. "If I don''t name names, can I tell my superiors?" "No problem." He turns his back on Al and leaves the reference room with his hand fluttering in the air. I''m glad to see you''re so perceptive. The guild is now OK for the time being. You are free to believe or not to believe, to respond or not to respond. They will probably start gathering information on their own, and if they see any signs, that is. Next we will go to the temple to meet the two vendors. "Homura Hall." At the bottom of the stairs, I was approached by a voice. I turned my head toward the counter and saw Cal. Yeah, it was Cal. The guy who was chasing the bounty hunter in the slammer, forgive me if I don''t remember his name!¡¡If push comes to shove, I''ll let you quietly appraise it. He comes up to me, saying hello to Plum, who was handling the case, as if he was reporting a request. "Hey, you became an adventurer after all? "I''ve only been registered for a while. Thanks to my injury, I can only accept simple requests, but it allows me to use the guild''s cot. Thank you for your help. "I didn''t do much. Isn''t it hard to live like that when you''re wounded?" Fortunately, the weather is very nice." He had just received the request form first thing in the morning and came to report. Because of his injury, it is difficult for him to travel long distances, so he is only working on requests within the city or within a very short distance. He laughs, "It started hurting in less than half a minute. He is a man who does not seem to be in a bad mood in spite of his situation. Hmm. "Can you subdue and neutralize three or four of them?" "It depends on who you''re dealing with. But if it''s in a place where it doesn''t take too long, I can manage. "Do you have any resistance to non-human species?" Not particularly. "I''m opening a grocery store, would you like to move in upstairs?¡¡In exchange, I''d like you to watch the store for an afternoon." If you don''t have a place to stay, it''s a good idea to do a simple request at the guild, and if you''re free in the morning, you can do that at the same time. Storekeeper? I guess you could say that they are the two bouncers who watch the store. Usually they''re just there to help me out. "I wish I could, but I''ve only seen you twice, can you trust me?" "I''ll be fine." I answer Cal, who seems to be hesitating while worrying about us. The receptionist''s reaction to Plum was not bad. And most importantly, we don''t have any freelance acquaintances. Unless Reno says he prefers to stay outside, I''m going to ask him to live on the second floor of the store. "I''m just going to meet the two store keepers now, do you want to go with me?¡¡I''m sure we''ll be compatible, and you can get back to me after we meet." That''s what happened. We boarded a horse-drawn carriage from the plaza bound for the temple and talked about our plans. The store is open only in the afternoon and closes when the goods are sold out or at sunset. There are two rooms on the second floor of the general store and I can offer one of them as a private room. There is a bath on the same floor, but it will be shared with Dragoneut, who may enter the other room on the second floor. The store is manned by two children of the beast. The facilities of the commercial guild make it look like a normal handover, and the exchange of money between the storage and item pouch through the counter function is unlikely to cause any financial problems, but I would like you to deal with someone who is insulted by the idea of being a child. That I and Dragonut are on the road and may not be in the store most of the time. The salary will be negotiated after seeing the sales of the store, for the time being, it will start from two early morning requests per day, three meals with snacks, and so on. Compared to living on a cot in the guild, he is not so bad, but he seems to be worried about it. But I don''t know how much it will sell for, so I''d like to wait until I get the results before I make any further offers. "Thank you, Mr. Homura. But there is a possibility that I could be in the line of fire. Oops. What''s the charge? Fornicating with the king''s wife. I don''t remember, of course, but I received the king''s orders through the queen, so we often met alone." "Was it right for you to divulge it?" "I only met him twice, and he trusted me." Apparently, he was not worried about the treatment or the environment, but was worried for fear of getting himself into trouble. "Is there any possibility that the debaters could get others involved without question?" "No, I don''t think so. If there is to be a pursuer, it will be from among my fellow knights, who are proud and fair. They have their place. "Then it''s easy. Then it''s easy. I''ll pretend I didn''t know. And by the way, the general store is a convenient place to escape. Well, I feel like it wouldn''t matter if I just gave you one of my . "...... accepts. Thank you. In the carriage, they bowed to me, law-abiding. The rest is just small talk. I''m just chatting. "I came here because of a rumor that Lady Ekaterina is in Zias, but a stranger from nowhere couldn''t meet her. "Ekaterina ......, are you a fan?" If it''s anything like some guild leader, I''ll have to think twice about hiring you. "I used to be a big fan of labyrinthine slayers when I was a boy. But the reason I wanted to meet you is because of this wound. You have the skill to heal old wounds in no time at all. He slaps his foot, which seems to be where the wound is, and says, "I''m sorry, I''m sorry. "Sacred magic?" If she has [Fal''s favor] and is a priestess, it''s not surprising that Ekaterina has [sacred magic]. And she''s probably not as old as I am, so she''s at a pretty high level. "No." "No?" "Homura-sama is a Gentile, then you don''t know him. In her prime, Yekaterina was known as the ......" "Wait." Bludgeoning goddess? "Is something wrong?" "Did you just now mix up a few strange words?" What is it? Huh? He replied in all seriousness, but am I the only one who thinks that''s strange? Huh? 105 - - The Scene of Stroke to Death Gosh! "......!" GUSH!!!! "Guh......!" Clang! Now I am standing with my back to the door of a room in the temple, where there are disturbing noises and stifled moans. I don''t want to know what is going on inside. I look forward, my face tightening. To my left, a tall priestess, who is probably Yekaterina''s escort, leaves the room with me and stands silently next to me. I would have covered my ears without hesitation if this man had not been there. If I was in the middle of a battle, I would be fine because I would be in high spirits. He looks like he is guarding this door for the time being, looking straight ahead with a face that says "I am not aware of what is going on inside, I am indifferent, I don''t care. The story goes back a bit. We were in a carriage on the way from the Adventurers'' Guild to the temple. There, Cal told me that Ekaterina was called the "Goddess of Bludgeoning," a name that makes me want to ask twice. "I thought I heard the word <> or some other disturbing word." "Yes. Yekaterina is equipped with a special weapon, which seems to destroy the affected part once and regenerate it." That''s scary. How could this man say that with such a fresh face? I don''t know, I''m starting to wonder if Ekaterina is the one or this guy is the one. "Oh, excuse me. I thought it would be more prevalent in the bedtime stories and picture books, but I guess a beating to death isn''t very gentle. I''m sorry." I don''t think destroying the affected part would be gentle either. "I think it would be easier if we could see each other since we know each other, but this is not easy. I can''t even ask to see him in his former name. I''m not going to ask, since I said I''d pretend I didn''t, but I''m guessing the name Cal is also an alias. "It would be easier if I could just meet him. I''m going to meet with you now, and Ekaterina will be among them." "To Lady Ekaterina, sir?" He looks a little surprised. "He said you are not in a position to meet easily." You know how often we run into each other? "I understand that because of the loss of your child, you are very involved in the protection of orphans, especially beastman children. "Maybe?" Cal had the idea because a prospective grocery store vendor was brought to him at the Temple orphanage. Since he is also white, it is doubtful that this is the only reason for the high rate of encounters with Yekaterina. When we met Cal, Ekaterina noticed him and called to him with a friendly smile. "Well, well, well. What should I call you?" "Cal." "I wonder if Homra knows?" "I''ll pretend I didn''t know. I have to ask." I listened to the exchange, thinking that it would be a bad idea to reveal my real name. Even if what Ekaterina says is harsh or even cruel, her ever-present smile has disappeared. "You were injured when you left the country, weren''t you?" "Oh, I''m sorry, I didn''t realize it had gotten this far." "Dead or alive, the information leans more towards the deceased. You came here for treatment, right? Do you want to involve Homura?" "I wish I could say the same, but ......" I hired him as a bouncer at the general store. I''m the one who brought him here. "I first heard about your ability to heal old wounds on the wagon ride to the temple, and I''m sure Cal thought he was meeting with an orphan from the general store until he got on the wagon." "Well, well, well, you are a very extravagant bouncer, aren''t you?" I looked away from Cal once, and when I looked again, Ekaterina had her usual stinky smile on her face. "Luxury ......?" I was about to ask back when I saw Ekaterina suddenly pulled out a morning star and kept my mouth shut. It''s very vicious. Aren''t those spikes too sharp? And now we are hearing disturbing noises coming from inside. Are they trying to regenerate the affected area after breaking it down?¡¡Or perhaps it really is resuscitation after a bludgeoning? What if Cal comes out as a pervert like some guild leader? While keeping my face expressionless, the presence and noise from behind me is wreaking havoc in my head. After a long wait, the door opens. A woman of 16 or 17 comes out. ...... What''s that? "We''re done." "Good work. Where''s the inventory?" A woman comes out and talks to an intelligent glasses wearer. "There is only one <> left. You can use it one more time, and now that you are cured, you will be responsible for replenishing what you have used, so there is no problem. I feel like it''s been in my pocket for a very long time. "The only thing I''m not sure about is . Everything else is fine." I have a feeling that''s in my pocket too, but I''ll keep my mouth shut. Considering the conversation, the technique used to heal old wounds must use < and some other catalysts. It seems that I can use it one more time, and if the stock is zero and there is nothing I can do, I can offer it to you. Anyway, who are you?¡¡It seems to be a ritual assistant, but I thought only Ekaterina and Cal were in this room, or is there a hidden passage like in a temple? She is a beautiful woman who is somewhere between innocent and s*xy, or perhaps she is on the verge of leaning in one direction or the other. Isn''t this a place full of men in a worship service? "I''m sorry for the trouble I''ve caused you. Cal apologizes from behind. His clothes are torn, but he seems to be in good health. Calm down, I... I offered him the robe I had equipped myself with before, and he accepted it with a light bow and put it on. As if he had been waiting for me, Mr. Intellectual Glasses opens his mouth. It''s been a long time. "It''s been a long time, Sir Knight of the Lake. "Your eminence Kyle," Let''s wait a minute, shall we? Didn''t you just say two disturbing words? The knight of the lake is Lancelot?¡¡Galahad''s father? Galahad, Percival, and so on... I just checked the synopsis of the Arthurian legend and the characters again... What''s the most powerful knight of the round table doing? No, Galahad and I are not the same age. How old was he? Calm down, I, we''re not in Europe. He denied having an affair with the king''s queen, so I guess he''s just borrowing some of the names and settings subtly. Yeah. But he seems to have the most powerful setting, and from Galahad''s conversation with him and the other knights, there are signs that the Round Table - Galahad called them "a little bit special knights" - is falling apart. Oh, my God! Galahad and his group had three, Percival and his group had two, and Lancelot (presumably) had one. If they don''t have to be, they are pretty strong. And His Eminence?¡¡What is your position in this temple, the guard who was standing in line with you, or is he not your guard? When we met in the room, I was in a bit of a strange position as Yekaterina''s bodyguard, but it was a spur of the moment thing that I brought Cal, and it was supposed to be just me at first. I was not introduced. Was it supposed to be my meeting with White? I mean, you guys don''t want to hide it! "I''m glad you''ve recovered from your injuries, so I''m going to pretend we never had this conversation since you seem to be overqualified to be a bouncer in the store. ......" "I can''t do such an ungrateful thing." "No, no, no, don''t worry about it. "Oh, dear, oh, dear, oh, dear. I healed this man not only because he is an old friend, but also because I know you and you are the store keeper. You can''t change the premise now. As we are pushing and shoving, the female priestess from earlier enters the conversation. ...... Hmm?¡¡Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear? "!¡¡Ekaterina, perhaps!" "If you don''t mind me saying, it''s Ekaterina. This [Blessed Star Ball] skill will make you temporarily young again. Don''t fall in love with her just because she''s beautiful.¡¡You''ll be back to normal soon. Hmm." "Sen-na!" Even a beautiful woman can''t be Yekaterina. I mean, that would be foul, even though she was a little plump, maybe in her late fifties!¡¡It''s not even plump anymore, although it looks soft to all intents and purposes! "You seem to be a hard worker. Yeah, I''m like that." "I''m doing my best to pretend I don''t notice you, but you''re giving me a blank, nonchalant patka. £¡£¡£¡£¡" An intellectual bespectacled man who called himself "His Eminence" gave me a patrol car with written in the occupation column. "Your Eminence is the most prestigious and authoritative person in the temple, but I hope you don''t mind. "I care!" "Ha-ha-ha-ha." I''m not sure if it''s a laugh onomatopoeia (?) or a laugh. Is this man also a stick figure with no expression on his face? "I don''t want to be around troublesome authority or political relations..." "I''d rather fulfill that wish. I''ll tell you all about it, but for now, please come in." Well, you can''t just stand there in the hallway and do your comic jokes. Ekaterina urges me to enter the room reluctantly. "...... is it your highness who makes the tea?" "Ummm, I''m good at making soup, but I''m terrible at cooking other dishes. Would you like to try?" "No, thanks." What kind of skill is it that you can''t even make a cup of tea? Leo level? "As I was saying earlier, our research indicates that the seal of the beast has been broken in other places as well." Seeing that everyone has taken their seats, Ekaterina speaks up. As we have done, the countries that have the seals of the beast will investigate the temple (here) when they see the loosening of the seals in their countries. The two places we can go to check relatively quickly are here and in the Cambrian Empire. So far, your story has not been leaked, but I do not know what will happen in the future. I am sure there are many who would like to know what happened to the beast." Ekaterina probably gathered information in other sealed areas as well. And she also checked the inside of the Cambrian Empire where Cal came from, that''s my impression. "We have received a report that you took out the beast here. Or rather, I received an oracle from Val, the wind god. Val, god of the winds, who at the same time does not wish you to be bound. As a direct recipient of the oracle I think I understand, but others will not. If anyone tries to bind you with power, use my name. Your Eminence, Kyle, the high priest of the church, says in response to Ekaterina''s speech. Val asked you to keep an eye on me, not Ekaterina, but your eminence Kyle. "It''s thanks to your eminence Kyle that I''m free from my old ties and can do as I please here. I ask nothing in return from Homra. Besides, it would be troublesome if you lose your temper now. What have you done in the past few days that you can''t see the status even with my [Eye of Purification]? Hmm? The level of concealment has not increased that much, and to begin with, it is the that can see through the , the divine weapon. I had an idea ...... that the status was invisible. The title , which detects deception, concealment, and falsehood. According to the nuance of what Ekaterina said, if you have the same , you can counter its power of seeing through, not exactly the same, but this must be it. I am deeply moved by the fact that Verus has given us something good straight away. Though I have no intention to use it only against enemies at the moment. I don''t want to be seen myself, and I don''t want to see a maiden''s secret or a man''s secret. After all, we talk about the evil gods, and I give the three of them the [anti-possession] accessory, and we exchange partner cards once again. In the temple, I had only one accessory in mind, thinking that if I gave it to Ekaterina, she would be able to distinguish and exorcise the possessed person with her [Jyomei]. At this rate, I may have to go digging for one more time. It seems that the temple had been gathering information on the evil god as well as sealing the beast, and they accepted my rather absurd story without denying it. It would be troublesome if I told them that I had heard about it from the gods, and it would be a very vague story if I kept it to myself. I later wished I had just assumed that Val had told me, but it was too late. He said that he would take a measure to cover the whole temple with a light ward, so that those who have been possessed for a short period of time can be purified just by entering the ward. It is said that even if possessed, the soul connected to the body is stronger than the possessed soul, and that those who are weak in mind due to illness or other reasons are usually repelled in a short period of time. It is difficult to take over a body for a long period of time, and it takes a long time to completely take over a body by gradually eroding it, so if you feel something is wrong, go to the temple!¡¡That''s right. "We don''t want to release information that will cause panic at this point, but when it happens, if people actually know that once they enter the temple, the possession will be gone, they will all come to the temple to worship. And the offerings will increase, too. Yes, yes. 106 - - The Reunion We are pleased to inform you that the first player to make the change has appeared. This information is hereby disclosed. The change can be achieved by meeting the conditions and using the such as or . are rarely dropped in the form of , but can be produced by collecting <. <> can be obtained after the 25th layer of the labyrinth evolution route, or after the 40th layer of all routes. Please note that currently you can only [change] once. Oops, the first three branching floors. The other Salamander boss was a basilisk, I wonder what the other one is, some kind of lizard. The fact that no name is given suggests that the defeated one is not Akira, who is it? Now we are moving to the orphanage attached to the temple with Ekaterina and Cal. Ekaterina is getting older and older. It is strange that the film seems to be moving so fast, but it seems to get closer and closer to a familiar figure, and then it stops at that familiar figure. After the shock treatment, His Eminence Kyle left, saying he had an appointment. Was he busy?¡¡Usually I''m busy. I didn''t see any sign of it. The temple is the only place where the white was sealed, and the worship hall side is in good condition, so with a little modification, it can be done on a low budget, and the entire area will be covered with the room where the transition gate is, but not the side of the shrine office where the new building will be constructed. We do not know how long it will take to complete the project, and it is good to know that it can be done on a low budget. However, if we didn''t have a plan to save money, we wouldn''t be talking about this project in the first place. "Well, well, well, my apprentice is coming. "Disciple?" What kind of disciple? The one in recovery? I pictured an old man with a very stern skinhead, a nice smile showing his white teeth, wielding a morningstar. He''s a hard worker. But he has a little problem..." Is he a hard-working old man, or is that just a little too hot? "There''s a knight Gawain in her party." Ekaterina glances at Cal with a troubled laugh. "I guess I''d better leave then." Cal laughs as if he too is troubled. The problem was not the old man''s hot temper. "Is that who you''ve been hearing about?" "I think Lady Ekaterina is leaning toward me being dead, and I don''t think they are actively looking for me, but it wouldn''t be surprising if they came face to face with some of the old guard and started slashing at each other. Gawain is relatively friendly to me, but it would be best if we did not meet." "Yeah, well, Cal, go to the store first. I''ll authorize the transfer now. I select Cal''s card from the list of partner cards and give him permission to transfer to my store. Stop filling in the name field with Cal (Lancelot) when you go to ......! Why is it that I do my best to pretend I don''t see it, but the system keeps on gouging me? No, the <> is revealing the card information that should have been hidden. I was falsely accused, Mr. System. I''m sorry. "From the temple''s gateway ......, take this." I''ll give the sill to Cal, for the transfer. If he had money to spare, he would have moved to a cheap hotel instead of staying on a cot, as you can imagine he is strapped for cash. The cost of moving is quite expensive. There are two rooms on the second floor, so you can take one of them if you like. You can eat and drink tea or whatever you like in the kitchenette on the first floor. There is a kitchen on the second floor as well, but this one was equipped with magical equipment by the guild of commerce, so you cannot enter or leave it unless you register. The equipment sold by the commercial guild is quite good, the warehouse can only be used by those who have been authorized by me, and if you register your sales amount in advance, the price will be applied as it is when you replenish your goods. The merchandise on display cannot be taken out of the store, and shopping is only allowed through the counter. If you go over the counter, the security guards will come to you. Although it may seem a bit like a game system, the store is designed so that customers can buy and sell with ease, even if there are some reckless customers or thieves who are better not to be there. This system is the reason why I was inclined to let Ekaterina and the young boy and girl recommended by the head of the Mos Guild take care of the store. "I don''t mean immediately, but there is a possibility that they will come through the transition gate, so you''d better hurry." "Yes, after you." Cal received the sill, brought his hand lightly to his forehead in a gesture, turned himself around, and hurried toward the transition gate. "By the way, I''d like to tell High Priest Kyle about ......." "I wasn''t talking about your status." He seems to know exactly what I want to hear. "Your eminence asked me to see your personality when I get a chance. You can rest assured that your eminence rarely gives orders, even if he asks for them, as he does with me. Besides, I am no longer actively involved in the fate of the world, except for the orphans. We were walking and talking side by side when we stopped and Ekaterina turned to me. "But I am in your debt, High Priestess Kyle, and if you ask me directly, I will answer you. "Yes, that''s enough. Thank you." The only thing that High Priest Kyle knows is that there was an oracle directly to him, Val and White. I had thought that he had not told her about the favor of the gods that he had seen in the , since Ekaterina had been smiling and making nice without commenting on my slurred explanations about evil gods and accessories, but I was right. Well, I didn''t know whether he was talking or not, so he became more and more slurred. With this in mind, I put on the mask. I put on the mask with these thoughts in mind, as a precaution in case I run into Ekaterina''s disciple, or more precisely, the knight Gawain. After a few moments of silence, we soon arrived at the building of the orphanage, and since they were probably having a rest outside on the lawn at this time of the day, we went around the outside of the building instead of entering it. "Hobby?" "Well, well, well, well, though I certainly care for the beastie''s children. There are many ...... people who will take in a child between two people." As a result, the beastmen stayed. The courtyard was full of fluffy tails and twitching ears. Since it is not allowed to stay in the orphanage (here) after the age of 12, there are now only beastmen, boys and girls, and young girls and boys. I was a little horrified to think that this was Ekaterina''s hobby. Well, black dog ears, I guess. Normally, I would have talked to them, spent time with them, and checked their compatibility and aptitude before deciding which child to take in or hire, but my clerk has already decided. I was shocked to find him too skinny when I found him, so I have to search for him by his black ears, the only thing I remember about him, since I have only an impression of his earthy skin and his thin, almost bone-shaped limbs. "Lapidus, Noel, come here." When Ekaterina called out to them, two of the children, who looked to be about thirty or less, came running toward her from the shade of the tree. Their wagging tails were fluffy. A girl with waist-length straight black hair, lapis lazuli blue eyes, black ears, and a fluffy black tail. On the other hand, a boy with white hair that reaches the middle of his back, purple-blue eyes, white ears and a white tail. What''s that?¡¡I remember they were both black." They stop in front of Ekaterina, look at us and fidget. Yes, that''s the correct memory. Noel was dyed with soot or a mixture of soot and glue. White beasts are rare, or should I say used to be rare. They were sold at high prices in the capital and in other countries. I wonder who taught them to dye for self-preservation. Ah, now white is overflowing thanks to players. I have blue-silver hair, but it doesn''t look white in the right light. Not only white, but also pink, green, blue, and many other colors that the residents don''t have, I didn''t think it had such an effect on them. Blue eyes looking up at me and a black tail wagging anxiously. Dark blue eyes that look suspicious and a white tail that is standing still. The only thing they have in common is that their ears stand up and point at me. I want to pet it. The girl is Lapidus and the boy is Noel. There is no one else to see them, so if you don''t mind, please take off their masks for a moment. "Lapidus, Noel, it''s nice to meet you." When he removed his mask to reveal his face, Lapidus'' fluffy tail wagged wildly. Noel''s suspicious expression disappeared and his white tail wagged gently. I want to pet him. "I, Lapis. I''ll try to sell it." I''m Noel. I''ll do my best to help you. Nice to meet you. My name is Homura, and when I''m producing, I call myself Lengard." Both of them are only up to my waist, what''s that, about 120 centimeters?¡¡Noel is slightly smaller. He was in a very comfortable position, so I stroked his head and was surprised to see how stiff he was. Well, a little while ago he was not only malnourished but nearly starved to death.¡¡The fact that he has recovered in such a short period of time is probably the most amazing thing about him. Beastmen are very resilient. I''ll keep lunch, supper and snacks in the store to improve the touch of this hair. I have not seen the food in the orphanage, but maybe it will be better. I will not show it, but I will make up my mind. Lapis hugs my leg as I stroke it, rubbing her forehead against it and spoiling it. I had no intention to take care of the child, but it is cute when he misses me, and the best part is that I can touch his ears as much as I want, not to mention his tail. Noel seems to be conflicted about something, looking at Lapis, looking at me, looking at his feet, looking at Lapis, so I stop petting him and tap his other foot lightly to show him, and he hugs me gently. He is restrained like a training cast of some kind. "I am not sure of his age, but he is smaller than the average beastman child, probably due to his nutritional condition. He is more robust than he looks at his age. Ekaterina saw me nodding and continued. "And they are wolf-beastmen. There are many canine beastmen, and they look like them, so I think they''ll be fine, but be careful with them, because they''ll be targeted for their color and their rarity. I''m sure you''ll be fine, though. ...... already has bouncers on the ground. "Roger that." Someone disclosed the information just a few minutes ago, and since it is a public species, there will probably be more of them among players soon. Until then, be patient. "The wolf beastman always yearns for someone. They are basically indifferent to anyone but that person and the pack to which they belong. When they''re little, it''s usually their parents, but these kids don''t have parents. Now they adore you for saving them. They are not a species that sticks to you, so you don''t have to be around them 24/7, but please give them something to do or a goal to aim for. But please give them a job or a goal. It will bring them joy. When they reach adulthood, they are expected to choose a new master or become the master of their own flock. They have the strength to live on their own, but wolves who have no one to look up to and no purpose can go mad with emptiness in their hearts. Ekaterina told me that she had a hard time keeping these children who are looking for you quiet. Maybe if I had gone to see them on the way and told them to live strongly or to aim for a certain goal, they wouldn''t have been chased by Ekaterina so much. It''s a little late for that. "Master!" As I was thinking that, a white object came running with a big black object, bouncing along with it. Lapidus and Noel leave when they hear the voice. I put on the mask without looking back. "Oh my goodness, oh my goodness! Mei, we have a visitor!" The white object called "Mei" had white hair down to her knees, red eyes, a white mini-skirt with red trim that was shorter than her hair and showed her thighs, a white jacket with red parts for color, and a girl with rabbit ears. So much white hair. Rabbit ears? Well, I''ve never seen a wolf before. Hmm?¡¡Master?¡¡So this is the apprentice. I''m relieved to see that he''s not a skinhead old man. The man in black armor following behind him must be Gawain. He is a knight with a strong presence, with his large build and full plate armor. Galahad is also a big man, but aside from his height, Gawain has a thick waist and short ...... legs, and he looks stable. This is in contrast to the white rabbit, which, like Kikuhime, is probably the smallest. "I''m sorry, Master." The ears of the rabbit, which had been standing straight up, droop flat on either side. I wonder if the players'' beastmen have such a direct emotional connection to their ears and tails.¡¡I remember that Momiji and Kaede''s tails moved a lot, but it seemed that they moved their tails on purpose rather than by emotion. The angle of the rabbit''s tail is not in my view, unfortunately. "My name is Mei. I am a gentile, a cat beastman, not a rabbit beastman. I''m sorry to have disturbed you. Ekaterina turns to me and greets me. "My name is Gawain. My apologies." Gawain caught up with me and apologized too. "This is Lengard, I''ll be leaving now, so take your time. Ekateri: ......" "Eh!¡¡Lapidus and Noel miss them!¡¡Are you the one who saved them and left them alone?" I said hello and was about to leave when May started making a fuss. What the hell? "The wolf beastman, you know." The following is what Ekaterina had said earlier and appealed to me using various analogies. From cat to rabbit, huh? I wonder if the rabbit < was the reward for soloing on the 25th layer. I thought the tiger was the announced evolutionary path from the cat. Shin and Leo are going to be very eager to invite us to the 25th layer, but if there will be more wolf beastmen, so be it. Oh, I forgot to use . The requirement is INT 150/MID 50. I was just short of MID, because I''m a magic swordsman! He uses the "illusionary magic stone" while making a solo comment to himself that a man shouldn''t use the word "dameon". I have acquired the illusion magic by using the skill stone. I have obtained the title [Talent of Skill]. We are pleased to announce that the first player to use the dropped < has appeared. This information is hereby disclosed. Skill acquisition is possible without spending skill points by meeting the requirements and using <. are rarely dropped in the form of , but can be produced by collecting <. <> can be obtained at the 35th level of the common labyrinth. Please note that unlike skills learned by spending skill points, some skills may grow significantly slower or be less effective depending on aptitude and compatibility. BUH! Now they''re going to play the announcement! It''s strange that the "first" announcement is made with information that Galahad and the others know. And the defeat, too. The title [Talent of Skill] negates all the previous announcements. It has a small growth correction for skills, and nullifies the negative correction for aptitude and affinity. It seems that the growth compensation is "small", but the fact that it works on all skills, both magical and physical, is great. "......" May''s mouth stopped. "What''s wrong?¡¡If you''re done, let''s go, I''m busy today." I had not heard the whole story, but I had heard the last of it, so I guess that''s okay. I thought it would be unprofessional to cut him off with my two young children, so I stayed quiet. I don''t know what it is, but the way the two of them are looking at May is absolute zero. "Oh, no, I''m sorry. I''m sorry. The residents can''t hear you, no, it''s nothing." Oh, you stopped because you were distracted by the world announcement. And he looks extremely upset at the way you two are looking at him. "Mei." "I''m sorry, I shouldn''t have said that." Ekaterina called out her name in a strong tone, and May apologized, her ears drooping. "Well, Ekaterina, I''ll take you two with me. We will prepare lunch and dinner. The orphanage may want to keep the beds empty, but unfortunately I can''t teach them general education or group life." "Originally, it was only for the afternoon. It''s all right, some of the children go to the workshop from here. Now, if you''ll excuse me. I leave the orphanage with them on either side of me. It''s true, I''m busy! We''re about to open! ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ...more... Title.

Well, it''s a general store. Next to it on the right is a light armor shop, and on the left I don''t know yet." This street is lined with stores with a frontage of about eight meters. The store to the right is Elias''s, which may make you feel safe, but it may also make you feel uneasy about being identified. The store on the left has also changed its appearance and there are no craftsmen coming and going, so it looks like it is ready to open, but it is a weekday afternoon in the real world... I came here by carriage. I had already registered for the transfer, and I asked the two of them to help me remember the way to get here since they said that a new carriage stand had been built from the temple to the plaza via the branch office of the guild of commerce here. At first I was convinced that it was a one-way trip because the capacity would be exceeded if all the transfers were made to the same place at the same time, but it may be that there is a conflict with the carriage shop. The route of this carriage is scheduled to be extended when a new commercial zone is built to the southwest. When we got off the carriage, we saw a liquor store next to the commercial guild branch office, which seemed to be doing well and was guiding the wagons. The liquor store is starting off calmly and without confusion, since they know in advance the approximate amount of liquor they will wholesale since they rarely do retail sales, and they cannot suddenly reduce the amount of liquor coming in from King''s Landing to zero due to their relationship with the city. This is what you would expect from a commercial guild. Instead, it seems that there was a great deal of preliminary coordination of wholesale quantities, and Cuero looked unusually tired. The frontage of the store on the liquor store side of the street used to be a warehouse and was wider than the one on the general store side, with the guild branch on the corner and the liquor store next. The general store is on the opposite side of the street from the liquor store and is the third building from the corner. It is located close to the coach stop. "I''m sure Cal, the bouncer of this store, is inside, so if you ask him, I''m sure he''ll open the door for you. I glanced at Lapidus, who was clutching the key I had given him in the carriage in front of his chest. I''d better make him a chain so he can wear it around his neck. "Shall we open it, then?" LAPIS nodded his head and ran up the three short flights of stairs with a swish of his tail and inserted the key into the keyhole. Noel was supposed to be his brother, but it seemed to me that it was the other way around. Lapidus does not talk much, but his face and tail are expressive, while Noel''s face does not move much and he speaks in a mature manner and with a clear message. Even in the carriage he gave the keys to Lapidus. He had intended to give one to each of the residents, but there were not enough because of the unplanned increase in the number of residents. I had originally planned to have a bouncer, so I gave Trinh a spare key and asked him to duplicate two keys for me. I will give Noel the key when it is ready. I help Lapidus open the door by giving it a slight push. The bell on the top of the door rings with a ringing sound. I could have used a ringing bell, but I asked Trinh for a more gentle sound, and he recommended this one. I asked Trinh if there was a gentler sound, and he recommended this one. It may be a little less assertive than a doorbell, but it has a gentle resonance. "It''s a beautiful sound. "It''s a small space, so I think this is about right." Hmmm, I wonder if the stiffness is caused not only by the food but also by the shampoo. I''ll have to bring shampoo as well as food to the orphanage. I pat Noel''s head. His tone seems to be casual, but when he looks around the store, his ears perk up and he''s curious!¡¡And if the head is in a place where it is easy to pet it, I have no choice but to pet it. "Welcome home." "Good evening." They emerge from the room by the counter when they hear the doorbell ring. "Reno, you''ve arrived." A familiar dragonet was there. "Yes, just now. I''m afraid I was a bit conspicuous, so I''ve been let in by Mister Cal. "I didn''t think there were any other dragonews in the area, so I took the liberty of including them." "Oh, thank you." I thought it was a strange place to be, but I entered without permission, and the compromise was up to the space for the guests. Both of them are serious and loyal. I noticed that both Lapis and Noel''s tails were in great shape. "Lapidus, Noel. This is Cal the bouncer and Reno the dragonet. They''re good people, don''t worry." I lightly patted them on the backs, which made them freeze, and broke their bonds. I was already used to seeing them, but would it be a surprise to meet a dragonut for the first time? "Let''s have tea in the back for now. I lift Lapidus and Noel into chairs and go to the kitchenette to make a pot of tea. We were short of chairs, so Leno brought one from the small room by the counter. We need to buy two chairs that are comfortable for small children, not to say chairs for children. Also, the counter needs to be raised up a step, or at least a step above the floor, or it will be too hard to work for a long time. Here you go. Iced tea, hot apple pie and cold vanilla ice cream. Smaller portions as I''m holding off on lunch. I can switch it out if you don''t like sweets. It''s times like this that the world really comes in handy. You can put it away and it''s still hot. "Two swords." Cal says happily, rubbing his hands together. "I''m okay with everything but raw meat and fish, so I''ll probably be fine." "I like sweets. But I''ve never had this one." "I''ll probably be fine." None of the three of you have ever eaten. I felt a little pity for the two young ones. I thought Reno was a carnivore, but he was not. And their eyes, which had been fixed on Reno warily, are now glued to the snacks. "Well, I''m going to serve you a lot more, so if you don''t like something, just let me know." "Suki kirai?" Tilting his head cockily, Lapidus asks, "What do you want? This reaction makes me wonder if it''s safe to serve customers. Will it be popular with some people who like young girls? "Unless the food is very bad, you should eat without leaving any leftovers, both for health and for courtesy. But if I know you don''t like it, I''ll cut it into small pieces, and <> are a luxury item ...... I don''t want to serve you something you don''t like because I want you to enjoy eating it." ""Yes."" ""Yes, sir.""" Hey, second half! Two adults! "This one has just the right amount of acidity." "The ice cream with vanilla bean is also ...... bliss." The two beasts munching away while the two adults eat their food. Should I send this to the orphanage for shampoo as well as the occasional sweet? I thought dogs were poisoned by onions and chocolate. I''ll check later to see if beastmen are safe. There was a beastman adventurer who ate a lot of strong-flavored food in the guild''s cafeteria, so I think he should be fine. "I''m going to open the store after lunch, but first let''s go and buy some more stuff. And what about Leno?¡¡We could use the upstairs here as temporary lodging, but would you be more comfortable in the open air?" "I think what Mr. Partin said about seeing things is just that, experiencing things, so if it doesn''t bother you, please let me live upstairs." "I don''t mind, but for a dragonut to live in the city, you''ll have to go through the Adventurers'' Guild and be tagged and observed for three months." "Oh, it''s okay. I registered as an adventurer a long time ago on a whim of Mr. Partin. Well, it was a long time ago for humans, so I am not sure if my card is valid or not. I was able to use this card at the gate. When he entered the city, he presented his card and was allowed in for a one-day stay, and was told to go to the guild if he wanted to stay longer. I show the four of them around the store, now that they have gotten used to the place through sweet treats. First, the counter area. This shelf is attached to the production warehouse above, so if you run out of goods, you can restock from here. He points to the shelf on the right as seen from inside the counter. The sales shelves in the store are already categorized, so you can just use this shelf to insert items that match the category you want. If it is inconvenient, you can customize it. Of course, you can also arrange them by hand. In case you are wondering, I had Cuero set it up for me. By the way, what kind of store is this? "We sell consumable goods for adventurers, a general store. I answer Leno''s question. "Were you in production?" "No?¡¡I''m mainly a fighter. I''m an apothecary, and I''m mainly selling concoctions and alchemical items." "It sounds like you have a lot of competition." "There are some high potions around these days. ......The small room by the counter was made as a business meeting space for some reason, but after thinking about it, it''s not a business meeting space, so please use it as you like when someone you know comes in, or use it as a waiting area for Cal." "Ah, this door is interesting. It doesn''t take up much space, and if you close it, it looks like a wall. Cal is admiring the sliding door. "So, this is the break room where we just had tea. You can use the kitchen there as you like, including the stuff on the shelves. We''ll try to keep some food and ingredients here, so you can finish your meal here or go out to eat as you like. "Thank you." "This is the dirt floor and the stairwell. The second and third floors are the production facilities and the main warehouse. Upstairs there are two small rooms and a bathroom for Cal and Reno. The back door here leads to the liquor store in the back. In fact, when I opened the back door, the backyard turned out to be a small garden with the beautiful yellowish-green hair grass that I had asked for. The sun barely shone, yet it did not feel damp. "It''s a luxury to have a garden in this city, isn''t it? Lapidus and Noel, who are accustomed to the large garden of the temple orphanage, and Reno, whose home is in the natural wilds, reacted subtly to Cal''s words. "You can use the backyard as you like. I''ll give you the key to the back door of the liquor store later, so if anything goes wrong, just run out the back door." The liquor store had no intention of giving the key to Cal, so there was no spare key, but considering Cal, it would be better to give it to him. "Why the liquor store key ......?" "In case you''re wondering, the liquor store in the back is mine, too." The Commercial Guild is a whole lot of fun. "I''m a little confused about you, are you a merchant?" No, I''m just an adventurer. "...... normal?" Cal and Reno look suspicious to me. "Adventurers ......" Noel looks up at me. "Yeah, that''s your day job." "Well, one day Lapidus will fight with you." Oh, that''s cute. "I do it because I like it, and I won''t stop you if you really want to do it. But if you just want to copy me, it''s a risky business and you should think twice. There are still many professions that Lapidus and Noel don''t know about." A light pat on the head soothes him. "You''re smiling, aren''t you? Me, Reno, Lapidus and Noel were going to the Adventurers'' Guild. Reno checked to see if the registration was still in order. Lapidus and Noel went to the guild to get their cards made since they had no IDs. The temple will give them a letter of recommendation and a certificate of identity from the orphanage if they follow the procedures, but it would be better to have a guild card. If they are under 14 years old, they are not allowed to receive a request for a defeat unless they are accompanied by a person of D rank or above (a protector), and this is also to make sure that the person himself is confirmed. What is it? A child is in trouble because of recklessness!¡¡I have to go help!¡¡We don''t want to see any events like this, so we''ll keep the nail gently in the coffin. When Cal went to buy sheets, towels, and other daily necessities for his upstairs living, he asked for a comfortable chair for the child to sit on and a step stool to stand on in front of the counter. There is a chance that we might run into Gawain, but since we can''t stay cooped up in the house anyway, he decides to avoid it only when he knows in advance and doesn''t worry about the rest. Instead of giving Cal and Reno the silos that they are free to use, he tells them to buy whatever they notice in the common areas and the rest areas. Leno was about to say something, but he looked at me and took the money. It would have been difficult to give it only to Cal, and I am glad that Leno received it. "By the way, what should I call you, Mr. Homura?" "You''re hiding your name, aren''t you?" "If you wear this mask, strangers cannot recognize your name even if you call it Homura, or if you say a proper name in advance, it will sound like that name, so you should be fine. Well, like the owner (tenshu) or something?" "Are you the master?" Reno confirms it. """"Master.""" "It''s kind of like a bartender who is a hired shopkeeper when it comes to horizontal letters." "...... maybe the three of us have different nuances." If it''s not a bartender, I don''t know what the image is. I''m no better at reading the nuances of language than a dragon man. ....... You may not recognize me since I went there wearing a mask, but Emel''s button flew. This time it was tall Leno who got hit by the button, and it sounded pretty good. The commotion of seeing Leno is swallowed up by the usual commotion of the receptionist''s chase. It seems that the players are all loyal to their desires during the daytime on weekdays. I wonder if there are any <> besides <> and <>... When I see a young girl chasing after a receptionist at an adventurer''s guild, I imagine what''s inside and get a delicate feeling. Apparently, since the discrimination in the U.S.A. against same-s*x marriage in social games a long time ago, the major game companies have been free from such discrimination, but I guess the inhabitants are normal. I wonder if they will ever be rewarded, little girls. After registering Lapis and Noel, check if Leno''s registration is still available. Lapidus and Noel are registered at the age of eleven. And instead of my soft nailing, Plum told me a short story about an actual incident and gave me a hard nail in the coffin. --It is a story about a child who went into a dangerous forest to rescue an adventurer who was not sure of his own ability because he longed to be an adventurer, but the adventurer died defending the child. Lapis and Noel looked at me with their ears flattened and their faces like they were going to cry when the adventurer died. Don''t worry, I''m a gentile, I won''t die... No, I''m not going to say it here because it wouldn''t be a nail-biter! I was a little nervous inside, but I thanked Plum for the nail-biter. Since Reno''s card was valid, all I had to do was to clarify where I would be staying in the city - just a form to report my store. Reno''s race is <, and he is said to be a rational person. However, I was warned that they are not known for their violent behavior when they lose control of themselves in anger. By the way, when drunk, they would rather take off their clothes and go into the water than become violent, so they are allowed to drink in moderation. If you drink at home, you are free to do so. In moderation, please. As we leave the Adventurers'' Guild, a few people follow us. Well, Reno stands out. I should just tell them that they can follow us since we are opening anyway. It''s annoying. "Let''s fly for a bit, shall we?" "Yes?" I put my hands on the far shoulders of Lapidus and Noel on either side of me and wrap my back with the sleeves of my robe. He transitions without answering Reno''s questioning voice. "Yes?" Reno''s voice is raised again, as if she is not keeping up with the suddenly changed scenery. He goes to the transition gate of the temple and immediately to the transition plate of the store. If we are going to build a house on the island, we should be able to mark the transition. I''ve got [magic circle making], but I have no idea what kind of magic circle it is, and I''ve failed to look up the information on the necessary items. This transfer plate was ridiculously expensive, and I have a feeling that marking the island is going to be expensive, too. "You have a transfer skill? "Yeah, it''s useful." It''s not a skill, it''s magic. "You can explore whatever you want in the store until Cal comes back, we''ll open after he gets back and has lunch. Maybe Reno can help you set up the beds and stuff in the rooms.¡¡You can start looking for the island tomorrow." "I was originally told that the island search would start tomorrow, so that''s fine, but I can help you right after we open, can''t I?" "I don''t think we''ll get that many customers since we haven''t advertised, right?" It was not until some time later that I learned that this was not true. 108 - - 106.

Homura: Good morning. Good morning from the night shift. Peter: I''m still sleepy. On night shift days, Peter goes home early in the morning, sleeps, and logs in after noon. This time he is a little earlier, so he must be enjoying this game he just started. So am I. Homura: The store is open! Peter: Oh!¡¡Congratulations! Homura: Thank you. There''s a promising loli here. Peter: I''m not a Lolita! I thought you were busy. Homura: I haven''t advertised anywhere, and I''m not busy. Peter: You''re at the store? Homura: They''re producing at the liquor store. Peter: I suggest you check out the store. w ¡î ¡î ¡î ¡î ¡î ¡î ¡î ¡î ¡î ¡î ¡î ¡î ¡î I don''t know what''s going on here. A while ago, I was sitting around with few customers, decorating classical lamps on the display shelves that can be seen from the window, and raising the production level of the shop. I went to the liquor store to produce alcohol, and when I came back, I found myself in a war zone. "Master, I finished <> and <><>. > is also finished. <<<> have been sold, as well as some snacks. Mr. Reno is outside organizing the line. Noel reports back. "Master, we may not have enough merchandise for all the customers in line." Lapidus is still looking absentminded, but his hands are busy shuffling through the merchandise at an incredible pace. "Okay, we''ll close after tomorrow if we run out, but he''d like to make some today at least. It''s a lot of work, but can you do it?" I don''t know why this is happening. Yes." They answer with a smile. "Are you the one making this item?¡¡You''ll have to separate yourself from our clan." "Yes, please leave when you''re done shopping." Cal leads a customer who has been talking to him over the counter out the door with a fluid motion. It was not the time to be impressed with his skill of not allowing any resistance even though he didn''t seem to be putting any effort into it, he seems to know the structure and weakness of the human body ....... Sorry Peter, production canned! I went up to the third floor and smelted gold. Fortunately, thanks to Galahad and the others, I have enough light and dark stones in my inventory. We only have about 400 of each. What about the medicine? <>selling so well? <>. The first two are S!? (skill points), and the other two were acquired automatically. was a little too much, but I learned [Mass Production], and now I can make twice as much food at one time as the capacity of the equipment. The amount of materials consumed at one time is double the capacity of the facility, though. I had to use a skill to get M! I had to do it while drinking potions, but it became much easier. I can make enough M! is not enough for production and recovery of Bahamut. Of course, I had to drink E! I am eating a lot of food while doing it. The small sandwich I served to Luba is easy to eat. What''s that? Isn''t this a bad night when a lot of people log in after work?¡¡In our case, it''s three afternoons later. You can buy the ingredients for medicine and cooking from the store, but the ingredients for <><> are now available at ...... with six refineries! So far, I''ve been using light and dark stones to make non-attribute stones, but if I''m right, I should be able to do it with stones of the following attributes: wood, fire, earth, gold, water, and wind. ...... was able to do it. Safe! Thank goodness we have enough for the night. I have enough for the night. I have some I''ve been saving up and some I got from Galahad and the others. But just to be safe, I''ll buy cheap gemstones on consignment. <10 is 50,000 yen, taking the temple into account, not many people buy it up to the maximum number, but it is selling well together with similarly priced << return stone>>. < can be used both on the field and in the dungeon as long as the hostility is gone, so it is probably very useful. The higher the level, the better it is to buy it than to suffer item loss + despena. The price of 50,000 is reasonable since the price of light and dark stones is quite high even at consignment shops due to the fact that the materials for them are hard to find. But that''s before you go to the fantasy route, where both light and dark stones drop a lot! In addition, now that you can make them with stones of each attribute, the cost has dropped dramatically! But you can''t suddenly drop the price today or tomorrow! Give it up! Thanks for your hard work """"" """"" Five voices overlap. Today''s sales are frightening. >They sold 10 rated at 50,000, so you can imagine how much they sold. The cost is zero this time, since it is made from found materials. The medicine type has a much larger quantity, but they are selling at a lower profit margin, or at a higher price, since I felt I couldn''t offer a 10-rated stone at a lower price than a 7 or 8-rated stone on consignment. You''ll be buying your own transition plate to the home in no time! I''m scared of ....... No, even though it''s a gilmouth, Mos Burger popped it up, and if you own a store and do business, 50 million shillings is not so hard to get. After about three hours of raging, we are having an early dinner. Pearl scallops au gratin. Grilled vegetables called Ratatouille. Bread tapas and a main course of duck in orange sauce. Chilled wine, orange juice and ginger ale. The bread tapas were shredded potatoes baked with cheese and a half-cooked partridge-size egg. Two simple dishes of finely diced tomatoes with parsley and olive oil. It is difficult to know how much the four of us will eat. I have prepared small gratin dishes for the two children, but I am not sure. Hot food is hot, cold food is cold. "This is delicious again, isn''t it? "Good. The white sauce and the cheese. I''m used to potatoes and bacon au gratin, but this is delicious." Two little adults!¡¡You made the gratin for the kids and they loved it!¡¡You guys liked the hamburger for lunch, didn''t you?¡¡Is it a child''s tongue, or a child''s tongue? "Ah..." "You should eat slowly so you don''t burn yourself." At Leno''s words, Lapidus slows down a little and brings the spoon to his mouth, huffing and puffing. Leno, who had called out to Lapidus, was even more careful than Lapidus. ...... cat tongue! I''ll have to buy spoons and forks for kids. The spoon is large compared to the mouth, and the load is relatively large, so it sticks around the mouth a lot, though it doesn''t spill. Noel''s spoon is not sticking, so is it an individual difference? I wipe the edges of my mouth with a towel and apply some healing to my burns. Cal seems to have bought some height-adjustable cushions for their chairs. How thoughtful of him, I''ll learn from him. We finish our dinner slowly, talking about this and that. "Master, you''re not home tomorrow, are you? "Yeah, sorry about that." No, that''s what we''re here for. But if you can''t make more, can I let the customer know the number of items sold from the beginning?¡¡It''s also wicked ...... pitiful to stand in line without the product you want." I think I was going to say "disturbing". You were smiling. "Well, it''s probably better that way, since you''ll be bothering the people next to you. You can close the store when it''s sold out." We put in Noel''s suggestion and decided to cut the line early tomorrow if it looks like we will exceed the number sold. "Quite a few people asked me for the name of the owner and the producer, but I wonder if it''s really okay for Lengard to answer?" Leno confirms it. "Good. That one was originally an alias to give it away. I''m not going to use my real name, Homura, in the store at all. I sell directly to my friends, so they won''t come to the store." "Many have told me they are friends with the Lord. Many have told me they were friends with the Lord, even though they were blatantly false. ......" "If they were friends, they would have contacted you, so you can go ahead and bust them. They''re just customers coming into your store, you''re not going to make any money off of them, and you can''t have a ''customer is God'' type of thing." "Oh, yeah, I got the keys. Noel." When I call his name and offer him the key, he wraps it carefully in his hands and smiles shyly and happily. "And this." A thin chain made of mithril with a key ring that looks like a ring, of course, with a <<< underworld stone>>. "And for Lapis." I give him a key ring with the same chain. I tried to make them different colors, but they are exactly the same. I could have changed it a little if I had been able to add a side stone to the key ring when the level of decoration had been raised. "For both of you." Cal and Reno also received matching necklace-type key rings with their keys. "I made them to look like ornaments even if they don''t have keys on them, so I hope you''ll wear them as much as possible. It''s also a good luck charm." "Did the Lord make this?" "Yeah." I answer Cal''s question. "You really have your hands in a lot of things, don''t you?" "[Jewelry] is still a work in progress, though." Lapidus and Noel are happy to look at their less than sophisticated key rings. I heard that they are gradually eroded and replaced in the temple, and that they can make decisions of their own will for a while after being possessed. High Priest Kyle told me that it would be easier to exorcise them if they enter the temple''s ward while they still have their "self" and that it would be better to keep the <> on them, of course, but it would be okay if they put it on later. "And a carriage ticket for the two of you." You pay one month in advance, like a commuter pass. "We started out with an appointment to go to the temple, but Cal''s business for the day ends when he gets you both in the wagon." "Yes, before it gets too late." I felt so guilty when I saw their ears fall flat. That''s why I hated it! "Lapidus, Noel. You''re kids, you''re not just working, you''re learning and playing with people your own age to broaden your horizons and find what''s important to you. If you''ve already found what''s important to you, you need to be strong enough to protect it. First, you need to learn to stand on your own." Cal has a help boat! "Yes. I''ve been on and off, and I''m not a fan of adult-only environments. I''m glad you want to experience more things and make more choices while you''re young, but if you still want to stay here, I''m happy for you. He pats them both and tells them. As someone who is currently playing with them, this is a heartbreaking line. The store closes until the sky turns orange. Like the residents'' workshop, I set my business hours until nightfall. The store closes when the sun begins to set, and we clean up before the sun goes down. Some of the children who commute from the orphanage to the workshop have dinner at the workshop before returning home, so the hours are set accordingly. Cal puts his hand on their backs and leads them away. Ugh, this is how I used to feel when I left my puppy in his bed on the first day I got him. I love dogs and cats, but I''m sure I''d be a bad owner, so I''d never get one if I lived alone. That''s why I had no intention to do so in this world. "That''s nice... On the other hand, Partin-sama is ........." "Hmm?" "You threw me out so easily!" "What?" Crying up a storm! I noticed that Leno is taking off his clothes with tears streaming down his face. "What?¡¡Wait a minute, why are you taking it off? "Huh?¡¡Wait, wait, wait!¡¡Don''t try to cover yourself with water in the kitchen!!!!" Weak!¡¡I''m weak...to booze!¡¡You''re already over the right amount! I remember when Leno was sent on a social studies field trip by Paltin for the same reason. How old are you?¡¡I thought you said you were over 400 years old! I managed to coax him into the bath upstairs. After taking a dip in the water, Reno was in a good mood. I''m still in need of some kind of body technique, or some kind of specific skill to subdue the humanoid, and I''m hoping Cal can give me some tips. Cal comes back and asks me what happened, and I advise him not to let Reno drink alcohol. Yeah, you''re wondering what''s going on. In a short time the floor is flooded and clothes are everywhere. At least the indescribable feeling of leaving Lapis and Noel is gone, and I can thank Cal and Reno for that. But I think independence should have come earlier. ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ More...

Peter is after < because silver sells for a high price. "Hey, Mr. Peter, I hate to tell you this, but I don''t like going out at night here." "Homura, it''s daytime now, right?¡¡I''d like to continue the quest until the others arrive at night, and now is a good time to do it. A suggestion to go out another gate and take a detour was rejected by Peter, who said, "If two guys go together, they won''t say they are meeting up with their girlfriends. "Oh!¡¡Brothers, what are you two going to do, confess your feelings and let the girl you like choose one or the other?¡¡Is she pretty?¡¡Youthful. I hope there''s someone waiting for me on the starry hill!¡¡Good luck!" I was sent off with a nice smile. "Wow, this is annoying." I was relieved not to be on the ...... visceral shuffle, but once again, the gatekeepers wasted their love brains. Peter seemed to agree. Moreover, there was a couple flirting with each other on the hill. Under the star-filled sky, a whispering voice can be heard on the wind. "...... I will be the heir to the Marquis of Alvar. I''ve thought that since I was a little girl and I usually say it for the good of the country, but you''re even more important to me now. So..." "Mikhail-sama..." Knock-knock! Knock-knock! Gah! Gah! "Hey!¡¡Peter." I was silently watching him for a while, hoping he would leave soon, when suddenly Mr. Peter came out of nowhere. "Well, if I was a normal lover, I would have stayed quiet..." He has a nice smile. "Well, if you''re more in love with love than with your country, why don''t you give up your title first, you tax dodger? "I''ve read the atmosphere, and this is the result." Peter continues mining regardless. Well, you can''t see much over there unless you have night vision, but did you hear the voices?¡¡It''s a bit of a tricky one, since we''re downwind, but anyway, the noise of the drilling ruined the atmosphere and everything. I got mixed up in it, too, mining. "By the way, aren''t the two beastly toddlers who work here too skinny?" "Yeah, didn''t I tell you about the time I picked up a guy who looked like he was starving to death in the slums?" "The one you pushed into the temple." "Yes. I''d say you''re a fast recovering beastie, but it''s still going to take a little while. "I''m worried about your internal organs in the future." "That''s a realistic and scary thing to say!¡¡...... By the way, are canine beasties okay with onions and stuff?" "Well?¡¡Why don''t you inquire?" Yes, I will. Talking to Peter while mining. "Is that a quest or something with Dragonut and the good-looking waiter?" "We met the Dragonut at Mount Parthin over there, but I feel like I''ve been sent down there for a field trip. By the Lord''s golden dragon. The good-looking guy was in a slum, and when the beardless guy shaved his beard, that''s when he came out, so I was surprised." "The Parthin Mountains are the Golden Dragons..." "Nalung is a blue dragon, right?" "Well, I gotta go get some scales. I wonder if there''s a dark dragon around here somewhere." Maybe an apostle of an evil god or something? "Oh, my God, that''s scary." Peter says it without sounding scared at all, though he wants it because it''s a dragon with that kind of fear. "Do you want to keep the possession protection?" "Just in case. I''d like a pearl type." "Yes, yes. I can''t do the big one." We mined while exchanging information and talking about unimportant things, as long as we didn''t get caught in a spoiler (system). By the way, I have changed from white to black now. When I told Cal that I was going out, he ordered me not to be white when I was not wearing a mask as a precaution. The effect of the mask is so strong that it changes your perception of the names you hear, but once you reveal them, what makes you think you can hide behind a mask?¡¡I heard that it is. It''s okay, magical girls in anime don''t get caught even though their faces are completely exposed. I listen to her, thinking that she is a worrier, but at any rate, thanks to Verus, black and white can be changed easily. And it doesn''t take me long to change my clothes. I dig without caring about the couple and get the and that I''m looking for. Peter is the first one to get , so he is going to experiment with its production later. I told him that I would experiment to see if I could turn < into > by kneading, and Peter gave me that he was going to sell off. "Since you were going to sell it anyway, give it back to me in the form of mithril." "Mithril is expensive, but I don''t know how much it costs to use silver." "You will increase production even if you lose some, so feel free to use it." "Okay, thanks." I left Peter and logged out, saying that I would continue my quest. After lunch, it''s time to find the island. ¡î ¡î ¡î ¡î ¡î ¡î ¡î ¡î ¡î ¡î ¡î ¡î ¡î ¡î ¡î ¡î ¡î ¡î Good morning. I ended up staying at the usual inn. I had been thinking of buying a futon, but I forgot all about it. Last night I went back to the store and made . It turns out that I can sell it at a higher price than selling it as , thank goodness. I changed as many attribute stones as I could to and , and did some compounding and cooking. As for medicines, high recovery potions (high potions) are not available in H! The high recovery potions (high potions) were bought by shieldmen, but not so much by others. However, I tried to buy them while materials are still inexpensive to keep them in stock. I gave up on the liquor store since it will not be ready for a long time, even if I promote the time, and bought a little for my friends. I don''t know when I''ll be in a dungeon and when I''ll be out of the store, so I''m going to be serious about production when I have free time. Yes, I''ll be careful not to be a three-day monk. And then, I notice I don''t have a futon to play with. "This year''s < at Fagat is about to begin." "Last year, the outdoor [emperors] and [kings] retired quietly due to injuries and illnesses. This year there will be a lot of new contestants, won''t there?" "That''s right. I''m afraid I won''t be able to go, but my son is going to see it for commercial purposes as well." "Well, I''m jealous. Are you going to be able to find a place to stay? I''ve already made arrangements at a place I''m familiar with." "Will you be able to defeat the [emperor] in the arena?" While eating breakfast at the inn, I overhear a conversation between a customer who seems to be a merchant and the owner. It seems that the < is about to start. I''ve already stayed at the stables at Sea Serpent in Fagat, so I want to stay at a proper lodging this time. I should go there now and make a reservation. I should go there now and make a reservation. That''s why I came to Fagat. I''m free in the morning, since I''m planning to search for the island after seeing the stores open for the second day. While buying candles at the temple, I ask the priest. "Where is the tournament going to be held?¡¡Let me know if you have any recommendations for lodging." It might be better to ask the Adventurers'' Guild about fighting matters (such as this), but the guild officials in this town are amore than a handful, and I am tired of dealing with them. How about a friendly but bored receptionist? "The arena is on an island near Navai Grande. Usually it is a convenient place to keep the ruffians away, but only during the tournament there is a shortage of accommodations, and the lodgings here in Navai Grande are full. It is not so inconvenient, however, because a special boat service is available at the time of the opening of the tournament. "The games last for seventeen days, with breaks in between, so it''s best to take the dates for the events you are interested in. Of course, you can see all the days. The last day is the most popular because it is the main competition. Three days in the real world. In our world, it starts around 10:00 and lasts every day during the festival. There are battles against demons, attractions like fireworks by dozens of wizards, and demonstrations by the Emperor of Swords. Among them, the one starting on Sunday is the main tournament in which players also participate. The time lapse is also changed so that players can play many matches in two hours until midnight of the real time. It seems that if you have good results on Friday and Saturday, you will be seeded to participate in the tournament. From the explanation, it seems that the purpose is not to exempt the number of matches, but to allow strong players who cannot log in by the time to enter the tournament one hour later. "If money is no object, I recommend the inn named after the city , which is located on the mainland side of the island and can provide you with a boat and a seat in the arena. If you want the luxury of the common people, you can stay in on the island, or if you want to enjoy the pits with drinks, betting and revelry until midnight, you can stay in . You may sign up now for <<< Uruk>> just in time." He seemed happy to talk about his country''s representative event, the pugilistic tournament, and told me with a happy smile. "Thank you." I asked about the route to the island, paid for the candles, and was about to proceed to the shrine when I was stopped. "Also, if you are a contestant and not a spectator, there is the where you will be treated differently depending on your rank in the arena," he said. If you become an SSS, you will be treated even better than in the <> suite." Bail out in lieu of a thank you. < I''ll see how many rooms are available. ......Heavy for Phal......No, the candle with the names of my loved ones engraved on it still looks like a horror story, but I finish the service anyway and head for the pier where I was told to go. The first time I came here, the sun was so strong that I missed the shade, but in the early morning, the sun and the reflection are not so strong. If you have a tolerance for sickness, you won''t be afraid of boats! The island where the arena is located is officially called , but no one calls it by that name, just or . There is a circular arena in front of the inlet of the island and a prominent tower next to it. It must be the attached to the arena. It is quite exciting to see the two buildings straight in front of the ship getting closer and closer to each other. < is a white building slightly to the left. I guess that the final goal is to participate in the tournament, but it seems that the players (!?) are not the same as the ones who usually take part in the tournament. Vs. (v)players(!?) Player(!?) C(N), they seem to get some prize money if they win, and many of them stay and fight here instead of hiding in the dungeon. And that''s it, when I got to Uruk and asked about the vacancies, it was already almost filled up. Ochazuke logs in and asks Peter and me what we should do. The available rooms are quite expensive at 100,000 cils per night. The last day of the trip and the day before, it seems, are the best time to earn money. At this rate, is likely to be a digit or two more. Although the rooms are expensive and not first-class, the hotel will arrange tickets to the tournament for the day after or the day before the date of your stay. If you don''t have a ticket, you will have to pay on the day of the event and stand at the entrance. If tickets are not available, they will sell them on the day of the event, but they are usually sold out early. It is said that the general public could purchase tickets at the regular price on the first day of sales, but most of the tickets are already in the hands of resellers. Homura: Then, I''ll reserve as many tickets as I can for the next two days. It seems that the cancellation fee is not so high until 10 days before the convention. Ochazuke: Otsu-tsu. I''ll check with the three of them at night. The country is smart enough to know that if you don''t have a ticket, qualify, or lodge in Navai, they may not let you on the boat. Peter: Yes, yes. I don''t think they''ll want to stand. I was just fine with the transition. By the way, there are other inns, but they say this is the only safe and quiet inn on the island that can accommodate the general public. There are few cases of cut-and-runs, but the island is a frequent site of pickpocketing and burglary by tourists, and even if the island is clear of such cases, the walls are apparently not thick enough to prevent the noise and bustle of those who are passionate about the games themselves and the accompanying betting. And as the tournament draws near, the prices go up, and eventually there is even a charge for staying at the stables. We have some time left until noon, so we might as well take a look around the arena. After securing a place to stay, we choose a shady spot and put on our masks as we walk along the cobblestone alleys. Friends to friends! v!? I''ve played other games before, but I''m not good at playing against players I don''t know. I have a feeling that I can get used to it if I play enough times, but I am not sure if I can get used to it. v!? I''m the type of person who would rather wander from place to place than play against other players. I''ll join at least once before the tournament. I think the ring bearer can fight the emperor even if he''s not in the tournament. Register at the arena reception. You can register under a pseudonym. <. When he went to the dungeon with Roy and his friends, he had not yet given his producer name, and he has not disclosed that he made the medicines and food "by himself" since then. The labyrinth was only mixed with the flame kings, so I don''t think it is likely to be traced back to their products. Yeah, there seems to be no problem. I feel like a lot of people can see me in my mask thanks to the store, so it''s a little late to hide my name here. After registering your name, enter a match. In the arena, you can fight both monsters and residents (N!?C), but in addition to the normal stage, there are also the "Equal Equipment Stage" and the "Restraint Stage". In the "Equal Equipment Stage", the visual appearance of the equipment is maintained, but the abilities of the equipment are said to be equivalent to those of the initial equipment. As one would expect from a stage that accepts pseudonym registration, the stage is designed to be unappraisable from the audience while it is on the stage. The [Restraint Stage] is a tricky stage in which various items are randomly sealed and abnormalities are added. No magic, no recovery magic, no H! recovery magic, item use, sword ban, etc., to berserk, confusion, random abnormalities, and less frequently, recovery, etc. It seems that you will continue to be sealed as long as you do not exit the stage, and the number of restraints increases with each battle, and the reward for clearing the stage also increases with each successive battle. It is said that the dungeons are more unfavorable than those of compound and specialized jobs, but it seems to be advantageous to do this. I would like to try it, but I don''t think I have the time to fight so many battles in a row, so I should ask Kal if he has any recommendations on body techniques. I can''t do anything if my weapons and magic are sealed. I checked the normal stage, player and resident as my preferred opponents, and the same rank as me. Enter and wait for matching. I''m so excited! 111 - - 109. Results The opponent was a resident (N!?C). It seems that many people choose only players as their opponents, and since it was a weekday afternoon when there were few people! The other player was a resident (N! It seems that three combat failures in a stage will result in a bad status, but < on this stage does not seem to result in death, so you don''t have to worry about it even if you are dealing with residents. In the past, there was a shocking case in which a player stabbed his opponent to death from behind after he got down from the stage and gave up, so you are warned not to attack your opponent when he gets down from the stage. However, it is allowed to attack in the air until the opponent gets down from the stage to the floor. Gandon Lv.35 Rank C Occupation Warrior in the arena H!?¡¡ 3000 M!?¡¡ 800 STR 200 VIT 150 INT 15 MID 11 DEX 21 AGI 15 LUK 11 Similar levels are coming up. Are they warrior-specific? The titles and skills cannot be deciphered by [appraise]. I need to raise my level. I have [Eye of Verus], which detects concealment and deception, but it has an indescribable effect that I can''t see what I normally can''t see. It''s a good thing that I can escape from appraisals from people who have the same kind of [Eye], but I don''t think I''m using it in the same way. You are allowed to bring up to ten items to a match. Let''s get fired up! Homura, WIN! No, you''re too slow, warrior. It would have been painful to be hit by a bullet in a hand-to-hand combat. And it seems that the opponent''s resistance to magic was also low. ....... I would like to say that I was like a bullfighter, ducking and dodging and hitting them with magic ......, but it was over in a flash. I didn''t use my skills. This is very much dependent on the combination of the two. I chose the same rank before that, so it was the weakest rank, come to think of it. "Oh!¡¡I see you''re quite skilled!¡¡Fight me!" "No, with me." I was a little out of it when I saw two intruders, both residents. And then an announcement. A challenge for the title of "Emperor" and the . Do you accept the challenge? Oh, so this is the guy. There''s still time, so I''ll take it. So far so good, but I may have to work overtime on the day of the tournament, so it''s a rare chance. Besides, the last warrior fight was terrible, I''d like to have a fight like a fight. So.... Okay, I''ll take it." I answered inadvertently. I had been talking back and forth the whole time, so I didn''t see the option that appeared at the edge of my vision this time either. ¡ú I accept their challenge. I accept the challenge of the Emperor of the Sword in the arena. Accepting the challenge of the Emperor of Wisdom in the arena Normally, this would have been followed by a conversation, but I was in the wrong place. I was still on the stage. I''m going to start a multiple-player match. ! The announcer, not the two opponents, answered and started to proceed quickly. There are no restrictions on how much damage can be inflicted in a multiple-player game. Is there any restriction on a single player? Well, I don''t think it''s a good idea to use magic to defeat a [Sword Emperor] when you''re competing against him, so I wonder if there are any restrictions on that. The Sword Emperor Babel and the Wise Emperor Horus vs. ¡óReady¡ó Go! ¡óGo! ¡óThis is not the time to be thinking so calmly. A curtain of light appeared in the center of the stage, which was divided into the east and west sections of the 30-meter square stage, and a voice announced the battle cards and signaled the start of the battle. Is this a homura? "d*mn, two against one!¡¡It''s not my intention, but I''m not going to cut corners!¡¡[Sword Emperor Babel] Here I come!" "Be a shield at best, [Babel the Sword Emperor]. I''ll deal with you! What? Do I have to say my name? "Lengard, come in." This is no time to be shy about saying your name. Horus'' [Dark Magic] <. Unfortunately, I''m not immune to anomalies, so I don''t go through with it. The sword of Babel flips. He''s no match for the warrior I saw earlier. Fast, but... "Not as fast as me." Half a step away and let draw an arc. "But with experience and power, it''s me!" The sword is flung down with such force that it is repelled by the force of the sword. A bad feeling comes over him, and he retreats, and a coffin rises up from the floor where he had just been, trapping him in an empty void and leaving him there. The coffin rises up from the floor and remains there, trapping the empty void where it was before. I''m just about ready to use it, but I used it only once when I learned it. Wood magic is better for binding. "Do you want to read it?¡¡Down comes the sword!¡¡<>" I read it, or rather, I just thought his position of hiding behind Babel was very suspicious. Five or six swords come raining down on him, but he bounces them all off his sword and closes the distance between him and Babel, who is far away. He has a [Sight] and dealing with rain magic that he knows will come from above is a lot easier than hunting bloops in the secant. The number of rain spells depends on your INT and compatibility, so you can never be too careful. Babel is a great swordsman, a masculine man who looks as if he has excellent physical strength. Horus, on the other hand, is a short, middle-height man in a robe. Babel''s greater width and height make it easier to hide Horus from my sight. I am surprised that they are working together, even though they said they were unwilling to do so at the beginning. "d*mn it, Horus is useless!¡¡You can''t use big tricks when you''re this quick! Apparently, he wanted to stop me and use his big move, but he failed twice. Babel''s movement changed, as if he had changed course. He stopped moving to hide Horus. "[Dark Moon Sword]!¡¡<>!" He evades while using his [Sight Failure]. Unlike magic, I don''t have time to appraise it, you can name your technique and yell it at me for a long time. "Scorch and burn, <>!" A ring of fire clings to you and deals [burning] damage. A magic I have not yet learned. Maybe it''s because I''ve seen Camilla use it sometimes when there are too many of them in a dungeon, or maybe I have enough level of [Appraise] to remember the effect. And now I know that cutting only increases the number to two. It seems to be a magic that increases the number of rings after one ring lands on the target, maybe that''s why. But there is the "Fire Suppressor". Hey!¡¡This doesn''t work either? The first blow was painful, but the other [combustion] damage was only enough to make my back feel a little tingly. <<<>, thanks to the equipment, magic defense, INT, and MID are all irregularly increased. "[Three Rounds under the Moon]!" He seems to have shifted his focus from "big moves" to "speed" and is increasing his number of moves. There are many techniques I don''t know. The "Gekishita sansren" is a series of three blows in which the blades seem to disappear. But you can see the arm you are wielding, so as long as you don''t make a mistake in time, you should be fine. But it would be interesting to combine this with illusion. I wonder if illusion can be used for this.¡¡But I don''t have a [moonlight] before that. He fights off the sword of Babel that steps in, and gives Horus a . Next, he uses his white staff to to disarm the ring. Even though he can cast multiple spells at the same time, he can cast . I think of them separately and in order. I need to learn to think in parallel so that I can do all three actions at the same time. I don''t think I can. Horus stumbles back with a small scream. "No chanting! "Dispel? Hmm? I was surprised. I step toward Babel, who has stopped for just a moment. "Nnnn!" He knows he will be blocked, so he switches bodies with Babel and steps further in. His target is Horus. "Fire!¡¡<>" He hurriedly thrusts his staff toward us and releases magic. <, they must be good with fire. "So you used fire on the spur of the moment." Why not just use a recovery potion or avoid them? You noticed earlier that the doesn''t do much, the damage from the first hit is already at the level of auto-healing. But I''ll play it just in case. I don''t want you to get into the habit of not dodging. [Charge Magic] x3 The same magic can be prepared while stepping in. Lightning is especially easy to imagine. With his sword lashed out to the side, he fires a charged . It flashes into Horus''s neck. Uh-huh. Next time I''ll use the method of leaving a piece of skin on his neck...what a splatter...I''ll give up on [Flash] since it''s a skill to hit a weak point. And the corpse doesn''t disappear. Is there some kind of revival magic? "Hey, hey, hey! You''re relentless! Babel looks panicked. But he''s slower and more formidable than Horus, who seems to be on a fixed gunnery platform. Despite his words, he fires another skill from behind. "You''re a magician, but you''re good at magic too! Thank you very much. "That kind of power without chanting is a foul, isn''t it?" Yes, the power of lightning magic with equipment + charge is indeed. I wonder if the wasting of time is to buy time to release a skill that requires a charge. "Oh, yeah." I forgot about it because my party was magic and I was more of a swordsman when I was solo. "<>" Homura WIN! I won easily. There was no excitement at all. The wizard and the warrior were slower than me, and Babel had a fast sword, but it wasn''t that hard for me to play it or keep my distance, and more importantly, the [no chanting] magic x3 was a foul. I think we don''t have to worry about the opponents in the same level range as long as they don''t start hitting us with a barrage of physical skills that can''t be evaded, or if there are no Thief-type or speed-savvy swordsmen or fighting types. The title "King of Swords" has been changed to "Emperor of Swords". By acquiring the title of "Sword Emperor," he has acquired the skill of "High Spirits. The title [Wise King] has been changed to [Wise Emperor]. By acquiring the title [Wise Emperor], you have acquired the skill [Intimidation]. Won the battle for the title of "Emperor. If you do not participate in the tournament, a copy of your current abilities will be used for the Emperor''s Knight. The title of [Emperor] from [King], who also won the copied [Emperor''s knight], is at stake! The winner of the tournament will win the title of "Emperor". The king who wins the game against the copy of the emperor''s knight may offer to play for the title of "emperor". The king who wins the game may offer you the title of "The Emperor". v! If you refuse the offer, the title of [Emperor] will be transferred to your opponent. <<>. The two who lost the battle are gone. They are supposed to wake up in the aid room. --I read later that in a one-on-one match, you have to deal more than two-thirds of your damage with swords against swords and with magic against wits. Also, these two are said to be copies of the "next person who meets the requirements" in terms of status and equipment. Well, it''s hard for those who usually fight with a full party and have a ring to fight solo or with two people. I guess they cut out the parts that can be compensated by other professions. The current [king] who is only chosen for the achievement of the conditions is not necessarily suitable for fighting against others. Wasn''t the condition difficult to achieve without soloing?¡¡Or am I imagining things? I mean, the [former emperor] who lost became a [knight of the emperor] and <. Did those two become copies of me? Wait a minute, how did the ability get to both of you?¡¡Either there are two of me, or I was separated by physics and magic!¡¡I mean, the right to enter the final round!¡¡I''ll be the [emperor] of the arena of swords and wits when I get out!¡¡And now I have a weird title again! I''ve learned my lesson. In the tournament, I should just shoot out magic at the beginning of the tournament and destroy each opponent who was safe, right? All right, all right. I''m starting to cool down, huh? I''m going to specialize a bit in [Lightning] or [Ice]. I can use [Burning], but I think there are many people who prefer Fire (this one), and it goes well with [Ice] because of its birthday, and [Lightning] is apparently more powerful now that it goes well with [Wind], [Light], and [Darkness]. I haven''t seen anyone else using it. The other thing is how to deal with fists and daggers, or when you are caught in the pocket. I''ll ask Kal if he has any ideas. My skill level has hardly improved at all, but it has improved after defeating the two [emperors]. What do you mean that you are most happy to have more skill points? Oh, I''ll ask him if he can prepare his staff (Julius) and equipment (Garganos) before the tournament. I had originally planned to compete, but I''ll work a little harder if I''m going to expose my hand to copy x2! Oh, thanks to the title of [Emperor], my rank in the arena is now SSS. The effect is that I can receive the full services of and . There seems to be no difference or duplication of effect between sword and wise. I wondered if SSS was enough, but it seems that this is a special case, and if you lose, you are returned to your original rank. By the way, I was ranked J, but since I won today, I will be ranked I. The way to raise your rank is either to increase the number of white stars by frequent visits to the arena, or to go all the way up at once in a tournament. J is the rank of those who can''t even win a single race, or almost all of those who are just registering for a cold one. The highest rank is SSS, but it is a special rank and can only be obtained by becoming an emperor. Without the SSS, the highest rank is SS with 10 members, S with 30 members, and A with 100 members. There is no limit to the number of ranks below B, and it seems that the number will not change unless you do something terrible in front of the audience, such as losing a lot of games. I''m a little concerned about the situation of , but it''s almost noon, so let''s go back. According to the boatman, S to SSS can ask for a little adult service, ma''am! No, I''m not going to call you, okay? But you''re curious, aren''t you? Oh no, let''s not talk about it, because I''m about to dig a grave. Let''s see what''s for lunch today. After hamburgers and gratin, I''m thinking omelette rice or curry, but I can''t find rice. ....... Yakisoba noodles with lots of cabbage and pork and fried chicken...... is pork is oak pork....... Hmmm, omelette and bread. No, but I had gratin and bread yesterday, too. Well, what should I do? ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ Increase...

Not Beef Stew Spaghetti, but Blue Loop Stew Spaghetti. Salad and orange. I''ll put a strawberry shortcake on the shelf in the mini kitchen (free storage) so that I can have it for a snack separately from lunch. I may be too busy to eat it. It''s not so easy to eat sweets, too much of them can be addicting, and it''s better to eat sugar when the brain is growing fast... ...... By the way, the sweet things I put on the shelf yesterday are being annihilated. Adults are on their own. Lunch is ready while Cal picks them up at the coach stop. Leno is sitting in his chair reading a book, the tip of his tail sometimes moving, probably for fun. I should add that he is the type of person whose memory of drunkenness disappears completely. Spaghetti on a deep plate, with a generous portion of the meat broth stew, which had become so thick that it could be broken up with a fork. The potatoes are just slightly melted on the surface, and the onions are just barely melted. Now, what kid doesn''t like carrots? The innkeeper told me that the internal organs are the same as those of human beings, since they are not cats and dogs. However, he said that there are some differences in tastes among the base animals. The doorbell rings and the three men return home. Leno comes out to greet them, and I set the plates on the table. Master, thank you very much for your help today. Lapidus and Noel greet me with smiles. "It''s nice to meet you too. Shall we wash our hands and eat?" There are already guests outside. Busted! I thought I was good for the night: ....... "Well, we''ve set an opening time and there''s no rush. Let''s eat slowly." I''ll say hello to the guy next door when he logs in. Thanks to the party conversation and the clan conversation, it''s probably less noisy than a real-world queue, but the queue will be physically in the way. Write "last in line" on the front of the cardboard and "items for sale, number of items sold per day, limit on number of items purchased" on the back. We can get a woodworker to make a sturdy plate for this later. I gave it to the first person in line before the opening and asked him to pass it to the back of the line after checking the items for sale. Cal. Cal and three others forbade me from leaving because of the chaos if I did. At first I might get in trouble, but I''m sure it''ll pass as a routine. I won''t say who, but they are much better than I am at handling people even though they can''t eat carrots, so I will meekly follow them. It''s easier for me too, I just feel bad when I see the three of them busy. After watching the store open and the sales begin without any confusion, we move to the temple. Now it''s time to find an island, find an island. ...... are they shuffling our internal organs again? ....... So here we are at sea. Riding on Reno. Yeah, I wish I could say I could be a dragon. It''s more comfortable than being in human form, although there is some up-and-down shaking when I flap my wings. Unlike Bahamut, it''s not so much a shell as a skin, a supple skin that doesn''t spoil the sleek, streamlined shape. Be careful, it may be very slippery when it gets wet. The skin is said to last only half a day, so if it flies for half a day, it must rest in human form for half a day and eat a large amount of food. How many hamburgers?¡¡When I asked him about it, he replied that it is not food, but a wind stone or a higher level magic stone. I was told not to worry about it since Paltin had already given me one for now. I should just make magic stones by enchanting and making magic stones by alchemy or by enchanting. ....... I wonder what kind of gems have wind property, I don''t want to use wind property stones for production. Sauroiyel continent: Mainly inhabited by human race Sauroway Continent Mainly inhabited by demons Norg Yell continent mainly inhabited by elves Norwegian Continent Mainly inhabited by Dwarves Northwest Dwarves, Northeast Elves Southwest Demons ?Southeast Humans The general arrangement is as follows. In the middle of each continent is the site of an ancient war between the gods called . Legend has it that the continent was divided into four parts by this conflict. In fact, there is nothing but a black sea there. The continents of Norgjell and Norgway are large, but the northern side is said to be covered with ice and soil, so that side is rejected. It is humans who prefer to go to sea. The main reason for humans to go to the sea is for trade, with elves and dwarves as their trading partners. Therefore, we reject the place that might be covered by the trade route in terms of direction. The sea area on the demon side is said to be inhabited by mermaids and sea people, so we also reject this area because it would be troublesome if there is a territorial conflict. We discussed the possibility of flying in vain, and by a process of elimination, we have come to the southeast of the continent of Sauroiyel, a continent inhabited mainly by the human race. If we fly too far, we will end up in a cold area, so we should not fly too far from the continent. We have narrowed down the area of the continent, but even so, we are not sure if we can find it in half a day. "For now, please take me to an island where I can see the bottom of the sea." I''m a little scared here because I don''t know what''s in the water where I can''t see the bottom. When I looked up what kind of place I wanted to go, I accidentally saw a compilation of scary images of the ocean, and that was my undoing. "Let''s just fly and look for a place that looks like it. The [map] that fills in the places explored is a big help, otherwise we would have lost our bearings instead of finding the island in the open sea. Reno seems to be okay with it. He''s a great flyer! I have the skills, but not for long. No, I can go as long as I keep eating like a bowl of soba noodles.¡¡I''m going to spill it. We soon found some islands, but dismissed them for lack of water. If the island is too small to dig a well, the only thing that will come out will be seawater. Granite turns to whitish sand when weathered. The sand on the beach may run out, but the thief''s seed will never run out. White sandy beaches are usually this fresh sand, or even whiter lime-white formed by crushed corals. The sandy beaches of Kanto are blackish, probably because of the Kanto Loam. The beaches in this area are generally pure white. Or maybe it is an island formed by coral deposits. Then the conditions might be tough. "Leno, what if a big predator fish comes out of the ocean with its mouth open?" "Big ones like that are in the deep, so they won''t come out as long as they are flying in the sky. I thought he would be scared, but he just answered casually and didn''t take me seriously. Wait a minute. You''re here? No, it''s okay. I haven''t been tripped. Some small signs, but nothing major. If they''re real (?????) in this world, you''ll be fine. If they are really out there, it''s nothing to worry about, because all they have to do is go to the temple to be defeated or return to death. No, Reno has to escape. "What a strange person he is, he''s not scary if he''s actually there..." "The imaginary ones are infinitely more evil." It''s easy to give birth. I don''t think so. I wondered how he could talk so dexterously, but it seems he just uses telepathy to make it look like he''s talking. In fact, it is difficult for a dragon''s mouth to pronounce a human language. Dragons are said to speak in a language with different pitches that are not distinguishable to humans. I wonder if they say squeak squeak squeak squeak squeak. And so we found this large island with water. The outer circumference of the island is almost a cliff, as if it is a caldera that erupted a long time ago. You can''t see the inside of the island unless you look from above. There is a crack in the outer cliff, and there are white sandy beaches and cobalt blue coves, perhaps eroded by the waves. A picture-perfect pirate island. No, there were no pirates, but that''s my opinion. Walking around the island with Reno, who has returned to human form. The hardwoods near the cove were spindly tropical trees, but once you got deeper into the cove, it was just a forest. I don''t know what kind of vegetation it is, but it is a forest of oak and cork oaks. I guess there will be a lot of acorns in the fall. Just as I was thinking this, a boar named Metal Jacket Boar came charging at us. Oh, it looks delicious! Reno had killed it with his spear before I could draw my sword. A black three-pronged spear covered with water. I thought it looked like a sea god''s trident, but it was fresh water. Except for the boa, all the other monsters seemed to be inactive. "Fairy flower," "caterpillar caterpillar," "winged rabbit," "sleeping tegu," and many other monsters were there, but they didn''t attack me. The level is high, from 50 to 54. "There is a watering hole and the terrain is good, what do you think?" "Well, it''s convenient terrain, and the coves and forests are beautiful. I''m just worried about all the non-actives, though." "Basically, the magical beast types don''t attack the same beast types unless they are carnivores or hominids, and I think it''s a good thing that all the enemies are unlikely to harm the mystiffs." "Right. But let''s wait until night falls and see if these guys attack us before we make a decision. Yes, that''s true. Many demons go berserk at night. Shall we look for others while we wait for the night? "But first, let''s take a break and try that metal jacket boa we just ate." We''re in a party, so the drops are coming in the form of meat and fangs. I wonder what Mr. Boa, who is supposed to be eating acorns, tastes like. Should I make a cured ham?¡¡Iberico because he is a pig of Iberian Peninsula, what will be the metal jacket boa of this island? I hear that the fat of a male boar becomes hard like armor for tackling female fights during the mating season and tastes bad, but what about the metal jacket boa that looks hard to begin with? I wonder if the metal jacket boa, which seems to be hard to begin with, would be more effective in shaking the fat like armor with blows rather than slashes. "How can you handle this hard metal jacket bore?" Reno surprised me a little. I''m dropping in some parts, but it seems that the fatty parts are still hardened. ...... Ruscha''s knife is sharp enough to handle dragons, something that makes me want to rewrite it as "sharpness". The fat chunks are separated from the clean meat with a fine grain, and the grain is so hard that it crunches when it is thinly sliced down, but even if it is mixed with soft red meat, the knife is the strongest that can cut through it easily. It''s not like the knives that slice ripe tomatoes on the mail-order TV shows! Even when I cut the fat off, the surface stays nice and clean! Boil a couple of slices of meat in a saucepan. Wrap it around a leafy vegetable called chicha, which is a combination of sunny lettuce and sanchu, and have a little taste. "Wow! ......" "Oh!¡¡I like this." When dipped in hot water, it quickly changed color, the hard fat melted in the heat, and the meat melted at a speed that made it tender and sweet. The meat is tender and sweet. It leaves a lingering taste on the tongue, but it is not unpleasant, and the slight bitterness of the chicha also enhances the flavor. The coldness of the chicha for a moment before you put it in your mouth and bite into it, and the taste and warmth of the meat breaking through the chicha. Something different from pork. It is the best meat in the world, even if you exclude the meat prepared by the gods. I thought I would taste it first to see what kind of dish it would go well with, but now I feel like this is the best way to eat this meat. Leno and I enjoyed it for a while. "I think this is the right place for it, don''t you? "I''m starting to get that feeling, too." Leno hunted some metal jacket boas for us in return for our food. He was so serious that it was hard to take him seriously. So you want me to cook again? Well, we had time and we didn''t want to be in trouble at night, so we searched other islands until the evening, but none of them seemed as good as Metal Jacket Boa''s island. "I wonder, if we build a field, do we have to take measures against the metal jacket bore?¡¡Do you think the rabbits will try to vandalize it, too?" "I don''t mind if you build it here, but don''t adventurers usually buy a farm to go with their house?" Yes? Leno just said something nuanced, didn''t he? No, wait, I just forgot, I''ve heard of gardens. In this world, there are two ways to acquire land. The normal way, like this island or this store. If you have a house, a clan house, or your own store - apparently not rentable - you have the option of having a personal garden called a which is only open to those who are allowed to enter by the owner. How to buy as a space. Specifically, a door to another space can be attached to the house. The fields are usually built there where others cannot enter, and if the <> is done well, spirits and fairies will come to take care of the fields. This <> can be moved with the house when you move. I have a feeling it''s going to be expensive, but I''m sure you''ll want to get one. But first, the house. Even after dark, the non-active doesn''t turn into the active. Only the metal jacket boa was reinforced and increased in number, and even then it only fell prey to Reno''s spear. "Shall we go back? I''m sure those two beastmen would love to see you. If we go back now, they''ll still be eating dessert, won''t they?" "Reno ......" You are the sweet exterminator of the shelves! 113 - - The Galahad Told You When I returned home after the transfer, Leno was right: the shortcakes had just been laid out. Black fluffy tails and white fluffy tails were waving in the air. I get three "welcome home" cards and take my seat. Cal, who says he can make tea just fine, has prepared one for me and one for Leno. "Did you have any problems?" "No, I don''t. There were a few people who asked about the master, but Cal handled it peacefully." "Lapidus, I didn''t hear you talk about anything other than shopping, and I don''t remember." "The crowd was as big today as it was yesterday. Some people left in the middle of the line. "Thanks for your time." I have the urge to pat Lapidus and Noel on the head here. But I wonder if I should pat them, who are not "helping" me, but working hard as clerks for me, the owner of the store, who has been gone since I left. I don''t think I should pat Kal, if I''m going to give all three of them the same credit for their hard work. I hesitated whether I should treat him like a child or not, but I gave in to my desire and stroked him. Ears!¡¡The ears are so soft, not like a cat''s or a half-shell''s. The texture is very unique. I want to touch only the ears. I want to praise that my desire to wag my tail has won out so far. Fortunately, he didn''t seem to mind being petted, and Lapis held his petted head and laughed, while Noel looked away, but his face was a little red and the corners of his mouth were upturned, so I guess he was just a little embarrassed. The culprit is not necessarily one person. The five of us eat shortcake. The cream has a faint smell of milk, and the strawberries are bright red and shiny. Maybe next time we can have the whole cake instead of cutting it, because we eat a lot, but with a different nuance. Or more precisely, you might want to "limit" them to one whole. Are you okay, <> and <>?¡¡You''re not going to tell me that fat floats on water better than muscle, are you?¡¡Noel''s tail is gently fluffing up. Your kid''s getting a little bit scared of you!¡¡Two adults! Not quite as bad as Agatha Christie''s Orient Express, but the overnight disappearance of the sweetmeats on the shelves appears to have been a multi-pronged case. "I''m starting to worry about my health..." "I agree. Master, it might be better to keep the snacks in the locked warehouse." Gentiles (players) don''t mind if their diet is unbalanced, but what about the residents? From Noel''s reaction, it seems that too much sweetness is not good for the residents. But the Gentiles don''t mind, do they?¡¡I''ve been eating them because I thought they were fine, but they don''t actually have bad status, do they?¡¡I''m getting anxious about ....... By the way, Lapidus is eating his cake happily with cream on his cheeks, not minding his surroundings. Cal and Reno started to play rock-paper-scissors over the remaining shortcake. "You''re not being very nice, give it to Lapidus or Noel." The scales seemed to tip a little more toward adult dignity than cake, and the two stopped playing rock-paper-scissors. "No, I''ve already ......". "Lapidus, I''m so hungry!" Rock-paper-scissors resumed! The time for the carriage is approaching, and Cal leaves the store with Lapidus and Noel, dropping them off. As we parted, Lapidus poked his dark-haired head out, and I wondered what he meant. He strokes her head a lot, and since it''s not nice to pet a sister and not her brother, he strokes Noel''s head as well. After the store has quieted down, I check the warehouse and find that it has 24,000,000 shillings in it, the same as yesterday. The items sold were the same as yesterday and the number of items sold was the same as yesterday. The price of the food has gone up and down a bit, so I wonder if this amount of money will keep coming in every day until the rarity of the new store opening is over. As soon as I think of that, I am reminded of the company''s paperwork and feel a bit discouraged. "Wasn''t business prosperous?" Leno asks me if I''m upset. "Sales are just as good as yesterday. I would like to reflect it in their salaries, but with the other orphans in the temple, it seems like a misuse of money to let them have so much money at their age. I don''t know what to do." Since I don''t want to talk about the real world, I''ll change the subject. "It''s only the second day. We''ll figure it out as we go along, won''t we?¡¡If those kids find something they want to do, they can invest in it." "Well, let''s set aside a certain amount of money here." "By the way, is a designer, and < is a carpenter, right?" I check with Reno as I send the food to the kitchen cabinet. "Yes, sir." "I guess all the architects and carpenters are busy building stores right now." I have a feeling it will be difficult to get Trinh to do it. Also, I think I''ll keep the sweet stuff I''m moving to the shelves now in small quantities and put tomorrow''s on the shelves before I go to see Trinh. Dangerous. "Why don''t you ask someone from another country? After all, the can be transported. "Oh, yes. I''ll ask the craftsman who made this place tomorrow when I pick up the key to the liquor store. Even if he can''t help me, he might introduce me to someone else. As I recall, they are quite expensive. But I don''t think they will apply for the island first, but it''s better to apply as soon as possible. "I have a feeling they''ll leave as soon as they''ve earned it." I''d like to wander around a bit more, trying to choose the right island, but the beast (Reno) is temporary, or on loan. < So here we are at the 30th level of the labyrinth. We''ll go down the stairs and start at the 31st level. I felt like I needed to earn some money anyway, so after buying some attribute stones on consignment, I came back to pick up some more. I''m going to play in a tournament I''m going to observe, so I''ll collect them when I have free time. I can do it solo. Just as I''m thinking of raising my [Ice] and [Lightning] for the tournament, I realize that I forgot to ask Kal about the proximity vs. I will definitely ask him tomorrow. Pixies are fast, so I''ll put on them. > is faster, but its effect wears off quickly, whereas lasts even when you are out of combat and on a normal field. Thanks to this, you can move around quickly. The kind of magic you learn from the beginning is not only powerful, but also usable outside of battle. It may be because they are compound or specialized magic. The level 15 Tokisaka (time magic) effect restores durability to the wearer. It is easy to understand if we say that broken weapons and armors are restored. The success rate is not so high, so if you want to fix them during your adventures, you need to use M! However, it is very useful if you accidentally break your favorite item. Of course, each production job has its own skill, and the success rate is much higher. The first one is simultaneous application of [Lightning] and [Ice]. Water has high conductivity, but not so much [Ice], which is a little regrettable. If you use them together, the damage will not be increased. The remaining enemies are [Issen], [Phantom Sword] ...... and [Slash]. I think it''s time to get a basic derivation of the [Kenjutsu] skill, but [Issen] is so useful that I tend to use it. Slash] is an initial skill, so it activates quickly and can hit a pixie, but the damage is not enough. It''s bad that I''m using my initial skill now. Since the boss is not my objective, I don''t look for the stairs, and just continue on my way. I don''t dig at the mining points, though I didn''t when I came here with Galahad and the others. Come to think of it, I wanted to get [Warding Magic] too. The sound of digging echoes in the cave quite a bit, and enemies come close to us. The re-pop time is too short, so it is certain that they are called by the sound from somewhere else. If there were wards, it would have been possible to soundproof the cave. Well, this time it''s convenient. We attack every enemy that comes near us with magic. I have a pickaxe for mining. I''d like to give [Slash] a rest ......, but I''ve learned that I can also use a pickaxe for [Slash]. I think it means to slash quickly or sharply or something like that. Do you have a pickaxe? Thanks to the pickaxe, the number of available skills has increased. Double Slash], [Mega Slash], [Feng] ...... and [Tsuruhashi]. Tsuruhashi? In this world, you have to choose whether to focus mainly on combat or production, but you can always take both combat and production jobs, as if it is the management''s intention to let you experience both. Is [Tsuruzukuri] a blacksmith''s weapon, or should it be? No, rather, it may be for those who make their living mainly as a collector. So that they can fight right away while mining. A pickaxe as a main weapon would be evil. I continue to mine and fight, imagining the appearance of a gaten-kei fighter I''ve yet to see. And I finally have a sword skill!¡¡I mean, I finally got it out! Double Slash], as the name implies, activates a slash twice, and [Mega Slash] is a more powerful version of the slash. From here, I wonder if there will be a split between the "Double Slash" type, which emphasizes the number of moves, and the "Mega Slash" type, which emphasizes a single slash.¡¡The [phoenix] will probably have more [heaven], [tortoise], and [tiger]. The names of the skills are the same as those of the kenshi, so Shin gives us a good idea of what to expect. I''ll leave out [Tsuruzukuri], but which skill should I get? I''d better ask Kal how to deal with close range. I''d better ask Kal about how to deal with close range. (skill points) should be more than I need. We also need [Warding Magic]. I keep using <> in the same place in a narrow cave, but the ice does not melt anymore. At first, after a certain period of time, it disappeared immediately leaving a cool feeling like when a defeated monster disappears, but now the ice flower remains. I would like to experiment to see how long it remains, but I am sure someone will verify it soon. The only thing I found out is that the power of [ice magic] has been increased, as if it is an affinity effect of the terrain. Don''t tell anyone that I wasted a lot of time on this because it was a bit of fun. What you can dig here is <, a beautiful blue metal, as the name suggests. When made into a weapon, it is said to have the effect of raising the spirit (MID). There are also a lot of crystals of various kinds in small quantities. Quartz crystal,rose quartz crystal,amethyst crystal,citrine crystal,smoky quartz crystal,green quartz crystal.......................but red quartz crystal is not pink. Rose quartz is pink, right?¡¡Red rose?¡¡Apparently it reflects the color of the gods?¡¡We''ll experiment with alchemy later. There are so many things I don''t know, and yet I am thinking about so many things, in short, I don''t know enough. I started to use [Inducement] while moving around the mining points, but the abnormalities they use don''t work on me, and my magical attacks don''t hurt me because of my equipment. Even if the number increases, the one-sided result remains the same, and I am completely overfished. No, for the purpose, I am very thankful for it. Is it my fault for thinking that I was a little short? I remember Galahad''s words, "I''m wandering from the 31st to the 39th floor. I encountered the illusion route field boss [Succubus of Pleasurable Desire]. That was a flag! 114 - - The Sacubus Her face is well-shaped, and her body floats in the air with a lewdness. Her mouth is half-open, and her pearly teeth and fluttering tongue peek out from her mouth, as if she is begging for something. Her skin is milky and moist, and her hair is purple with hints of black. Eyes with golden cat-like irises look at you and smile. My question is, what is the name of the top of the big tits? The black skin of her breasts is just barely covered, and continues to her flanks. Her smooth white belly is in full view. Her swimsuit, knee-highs, and elbow-length gloves. These are the kind of costumes one often sees on succubus. No, in illustrations in the real world. Huh?¡¡I would never read a book like that on a daily basis. But won''t it shift when you move?¡¡Or maybe they''ll fall out in battle. I''ve wondered for a while if it''s just like the feathers, if it''s their own skin, no way, it''s hair ......! "I''m glad it was a man I met." Yeah, I wonder what would happen if it was a woman? "An, don''t even think about it." She presses her fingers lightly against her lips and looks up at me. "...... think only of me." And then you strike an ah-ha pose. "I''m sorry, but the charm isn''t working on me." "......" He froze in his pose. That''s it, and I didn''t set it up so I could take my pants off. I thought that the inferiority complex of a skill could be replaced by confusion. So far, so good. I''m usually nervous at the sight of a scantily clad succubus, but I''m not so sure. is a skin of his own or not. I''m used to seeing players in the city dressed up in amazing outfits, though in many ways I pretend not to see them because I''m ashamed of them. Please let someone propagate the flirtatiousness more. And it doesn''t look like it''s hairy. I''ve been hit with a barrage of skills, disregarding poses and sweet lines, but nothing special. I wonder what my tolerance is. "...... d*mn! You worthless piece of shit, you Fatty Fat!" He seems to have given up on his mental manipulation skills, and starts shooting reddish-black flames at me without chanting. "You''re so vulgar all of a sudden!" <. "You can keep your cool while you still can!" Flames appear again in the succubus''s hand, which changes to a lotus leaf language and forms a large scythe. It looks like something a god of death would have. It was made of reddish-black flames, and it swung down in a straight line toward my chest, scattering sparks of fire with a certain sharpness. I feel like I''m in trouble if I get hit by it, so I step back. I thought there would be a huge firestorm on the floor of the cave, but the tip of the scythe is sucked into the pale ground without making much noise. "Hmph! You''re over here (????) and I''m gonna melt you into (????) mush!" If you look, the floor is melting from the place where the scythe was stuck. "Well?" The easy part is the long-range magic. I would like to be able to use melee against humanoids for the arena, no, I want to be able to use both melee and magic. I am still not a "magic swordsman" but a "magic" and "swordsman". I''m still a [magic] and [swordsman], not a [magic swordsman] and [swordsman]. The sword melts. They cannot fight each other. Therefore, I can''t pass it off. < to avoid it. You see through the magic of the black flame. Dexterously move and anticipate the protection of the feathers that shield Taking into account the tricky moves that people don''t have Swing the sword. Black flames can be dispelled with dispel or counteracted with ice magic. I will be able to do this easily at a distance, and I will be able to do it in sword range, so that if the succubus moves back, I will be there to take her out. While he steps out, I will strike back with my magic. I choose [lightning arrow], which is faster than [ice magic]. The opponent has a lot of moves, so it is not easy to damage him. The feathers are in the way. They serve as a shield to protect you from their attacks, and also as a means to attack you. "YEAH! Bloody hell!" The succubus''s eyes change from golden to brilliant. They glow so brightly that they leave a short red trail behind them after they move. "......ts!!!!" Ouch! A different kind of movement. I mean.., Teleportation! "If you don''t become my doll (toy), you''ll die!" It wrinkles its beautiful face like a menacing animal and swings its scythe at me. Any advantage I had in speed is gone. The cut on my shoulder hurts, but as expected of a divine weapon, the <> does not seem to melt away. However, its physical defense is not so high, so it''s not good if you get hit by it. Moreover, the [erosion and dissolution] state abnormality seems to work on this one. "Ugh!" This time I was cut on the back. "HAN!¡¡Can you fix it?¡¡I''ll just cut you up for that!¡¡I love the look of falling into pleasure the best, but I also love the look of being twisted in anguish!" Damage can be dealt with quickly by sacred magic, or rather, I have not taken much damage alone so far, and I must heal Galahad, Eagle, and the female Camilla, who shielded me when I took a whole hit!¡¡I was so focused on that that I didn''t notice it. If there''s no one else to worry about, it''s chantless, so it''s like, "Ow! I just think, "I''m going to get over it quickly, yes. I don''t want to be in pain, so I activate it immediately!¡¡Something that heals by reflex if you are not trying to heal another object. Isn''t that a foul? This is partly because you don''t have to change weapons, but also because M! When you fight mainly with magic, M! If you fight mainly with magic, you have to be careful not to run out of M! The condition of "erosion and dissolution" is to decrease H! The amount of H! I can''t check it well during the battle, but it seems that the wounds are bubbling and spreading little by little. This must be healed consciously. I wonder if I will soon be able to heal myself reflexively. A succubus appears from the left and counterattacks with a flash. The succubus screams and moves away. After being hit twice, I thought I knew the direction she was coming from, but then she activates her [Kokoro no Mei]. I concentrate, or even my concentration is disturbed. The effect of [mind''s eye] varies depending on your mind. The damage from Succubus disturbs my mind. Fortunately, you can heal yourself, so you can take your time in battle. It is natural to feel pain, but do not let your mind be distracted by it. Don''t be tempted to turn your head when you feel the presence of the succubus. Don''t be afraid of the memory of the pain of the scythe being wielded. Just feel it like you did when you were taking down the Ail. A feeling, A smell, It can be a sound, Vibration, It can be magic, Seeing it all without seeing it. It''s like my vision, my world has changed. Oh, it''s so much fun. "You''re a monster, too." The next thing I knew, I was stabbing a happy-go-lucky succubus in the face. Her scythe was already gone, and one of her feathers had fallen off. She hugged me and pressed her lips to mine, not caring that the sword was biting into them. Energy drain?¡¡I thought for a moment that the succubus was a particle of light, but it was not, and the succubus disappeared. I got the title of "King of Pleasure" for my first solo defeat. I got the reward for my first solo defeat: . > has been defeated solo. I got the nails of the Succubus of Pleasure''s Desire x5. I got the black cloth x5 of the Succubus of Pleasure Lust. I got the feather of the Succubus of Pleasure Lust x5. I got the magic stone of the Succubus of Pleasure''s Desire. I got the Blue Moonstone x10. I got the ring of magic +5. . < returned to its original state after the battle. But the trousers. £¡£¡£¡£¡£¡¡¡I am taking a lot of damage until I get used to the [mind''s eye], so that''s the reason, but the that was cut together with it is back to its original state, so it''s terrible in contrast. It has a condition abnormality of [corrosion erosion]. It is crumbling from the place where it was cut, as if it is peeling off little by little over time. Is that it, or was she about to be stripped? < has not gone so far as to reveal her underwear?¡¡No way, with the help of the Goddess of Shame (Falu), I was spared from stripping down? Hey, maybe we should come as a party? Oh, I was expecting someone else''s strip. And I thought about it. Rejected. She is a pervert under her robe. I quietly replace it with my old gear. < The title [King of Pleasure]. I''m not showing you the title again. Which way does the management want me to go? That''s it, they say you can form a harem. No, you can form a harem if you try hard enough - and I can''t even if I tried. Each resistance of a person in a harem is increased by 5%, and in the case of a resident, the revival period is extended to 3 days in normal state after [loss in battle]. If you fight in the same party, the effect of [Inspiration] will be added. There is also a pink effect, but I omit it. I''ll skip it if I have to. Black princess?¡¡Black lilies?¡¡I don''t remember the name of which one it was, but it seems to be a title that female players who were competing against Roy would want. I heard that to enter a harem where this title is effective, you need the consent of your partner and more than a kiss. I wouldn''t make such a hassle!¡¡Even normal socializing is a hassle. The King of Pleasure was never in my mind. And can I also pretend that Succubus Pants was never there ......?¡¡You''re a pervert for keeping it and selling it off!¡¡What do you want me to do!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!¡¡Now that I know that the last one will be rare because I throw it away, I''m conflicted. By the way, it was pure white, lacy, and neat. It was not until much later that I learned that it was very popular among the young girls who played with it and fetched an unbelievable price. are thigh-high boots worn by succubus. They are not the real world boots with room to spare, but fantastical ones with the leather sticking to the thighs. I wondered what I should do with them, but when men wear them, the lacy thighs are replaced by metal trims and the tight-fitting leather is replaced by thicker, sturdier leather. Good thing it was not a common look for both genders. The effect is [Floating], which increases speed and magic attack power by 20% at all times, making it suitable for swordsmen. I''ll say it again...for swordsmen. After the battle, ¡¾Magic Detection¡¿,¡¾Sound Detection¡¿,¡¾Vibration Detection¡¿, and so on appear in the skill list, I guess they will be integrated after some of them. I''m not a Thief type, so I don''t need to use them in the field. In battle, I have¡¾Mind''s Eye¡¿. There are also ¡¾Stepping¡¿, ¡¾Swallow Back¡¿, and ¡¾Life Decrease Resistance¡¿. I''d like to have ¡¾Life Decrease Resistance¡¿, though I think it is similar to ¡¾Bloodshed Resistance¡¿. I''m going to collect some more attribute stones, and while I''m at it, I''m going to make the 29 or so skills to 30. There are some lower ones, but I''ll give priority to this one since I often learn new skills in multiples of five. I''m going to ask Mr. [Concealment] to work even harder, so I''m going to raise his skill seriously, too. I''ve been slacking a little this time. ....... It''s a little inconvenient that you can''t shop from the residents during the daytime, but that''s not a problem if you come here at night to hunt or mine. Oh, and speaking of shopping, I need to buy some pants. ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ More...

I''m glad I left the facilities for kneading and compounding on the third floor. And I don''t need a futon anymore. ...... I''ve gotten used to living in an inn. The first thing to do is to make sure that you have a good idea of what you''re getting into.¡¡I don''t know about Cal, but Leno seems to be able to do it. I can''t imagine Partin cooking at all. Two pieces of toast with your choice of butter or jam. One piece of toast with bacon and eggs. Roasted potatoes with mustard and salad, Fried white fish, corn potage. Orange and cinnamon latte. They both like corn pottage and tartar sauce, too. They are two adults who seem to be sure that I should serve dishes that are suitable for children in general. I had to make extra toast and add jam. Are you sure about these two? I think I''m going to put a lot on the bread, and maybe some rice for the two of them. "Homura, just butter?" "No, I sometimes put jam on top if I feel like it." Looking at their sticky jam-covered toast, my sweet-tooth tolerance for the day was already finished, even though I hadn''t eaten any. I was ready to put on the glossy jam when I served it to them. Why don''t I pay attention to these two? Because I''ve already had breakfast twice today. After having it once at the inn. Producing E! (bara) decreases. ....... I was rather mooching while producing!¡¡If you''re consuming,......, if you''re consuming,......? Trinh''s store is on the main street between the Commercial Guild and the Temple, but it is smaller than one might expect. I contacted him yesterday and asked if I could come early in the morning, which I did. It seems that players'' stores and a few others are very busy with requests for guild houses. There are surprisingly few players walking on the main street, as the plaza and the southwest area where the players'' stores are concentrated are enough for everyone to use this street for horse-drawn carriages. The only people walking along the street are residents. This road from the square to the temple is the main street and is lined with large stores, including clothing stores, shoe stores, jewelry stores, etc., although these stores are not related to defenses or additional abilities. Cal and Reno are going for a light dive in the labyrinth. Cal is not sick, but has just recovered from an injury, so he said he was going to test how well his body works in shallow places. Reno is his companion, a very sociable dragonut. Cal was also very conscientious to ask me if he could use the money I had given him before the store opened for the transfer, when he could have made up for it right away by going into the labyrinth. Ah, maybe we''ll be closed on the day of light, not Sunday. Cal will probably go to the labyrinth to get and to return to Ekaterina. It would be hard to leave after dinner and come back at noon the next day to stay up all night as a bouncer, and even if he only works short hours in the afternoon, he would not be able to move freely if he has to stay up all night. Ekaterina didn''t seem to be worried at all about the strategy, so I guess it will be all right. < is. Oh, I forgot to ask about the proximity to other people. Trin stopped the employee who was about to answer the door and came out. "Good morning." "Good morning." They greet each other and shake hands. "This way, please." He told me that the main store is located in Saa. The fast restaurant is said to have more customers by far, but they have no intention of moving the main restaurant there. We pass by the counter and are shown into a room used for serving customers. It is a nice and calm restaurant with good taste. It is not a room with a display cabinet, but an efficient room surrounded by shelves of documents. However, unlike in the real world, the files are also heavy, leather-covered and pinned, making it look like a study or a library at first glance. "I''ll give you the key before I forget it." After receiving the spare key to the back door of the liquor store, several files are piled up in front of me. I had emailed them earlier, so they were ready for me. Incidentally, when I send an e-mail to a resident here, a sealed envelope appears in front of me for the first time when I choose to send it, and then it disappears. It seems that the letter is sent by magic. Trinh''s store is a well-established and powerful store that has both an architect and a carpenter, and Trinh himself has both skills. The file contains a floor plan of the house, the type and number of < required for the floor plan, and how many < are needed for the interior. There is one file with general floor plans, and one file with the floor plans of a lord''s mansion.¡¡One file of gorgeous floor plans. Separate files for flooring, walls, columns, ceilings, and various other interior decorations. Files for roofs, exterior walls, exteriors, etc. > 5,000,000 shillings each, <> 1,000,000 shillings each. Each ball is for a room or an interior, the contents are charged separately. <> can only be filled with a certain type of wood, so it will look like a temporary hut. <, and change the walls and so on to your liking with . Also, doors, windows, stairs, etc. can be added with <>. I guess you can imagine that you can put a box together with < and arrange it as a house with <.¡¡<<>. After listening to the explanation, I am convinced that the reason why many general floor plans have few corridors is because each corridor costs 5,000,000 shill <>. It seems that the floor plans differ from those of normally constructed buildings due to the budget. I heard that the corridors are originally treated as a luxury or even a symbol of power and wealth because of the limited land within the city walls of fasts. How about bragging about long corridors? Maybe they have a race to hang a rag on it. "Some people build one or two rooms, and when they have saved up enough money, they add on to the house as they like, but it will become inconvenient later on in terms of living, so it''s better to decide on a floor plan first and add on to the house systematically. "I''ll do that, it''s just too much money to spend all at once." "The reason why <><> is so expensive is because the materials are hard to get. You can also ask a skilled adventurer to gather materials for you, but this time the request fee is high. And there''s actually a problem. "What?" There is a major renovation of the castle underway in King''s Landing. The Marquis of Lobster has sent word to all building officials throughout the land and we here at Fast have been asked to contribute men and supplies. Unless one of you can make arrangements, we will not be allowed to open for business. Thanks to the hard work of the head of the Mos Guild and other members of the commercial guilds, we can only accept requests through the commercial guilds. ......" Trinh says with a wry smile. I didn''t expect to hear the name I heard from the gondola boatman in Juana at a place like this. He told me that if I accepted the request, I might be in trouble, and that the commercial guilds would not be able to help me except in their stores. Lobster, I want to turn you into a lobster roll. "If we send people out, the business itself will be delayed, and we are currently collecting supplies, but the building officials from all over the country are collecting, it''s hard to ......." What do you mean by supplies? "At the moment we are short of < from the dungeon in Pfina and from the labyrinth. The other materials are generally available, so I managed to secure them." <. I remember that Ochazuke said he needed it to make his room in the clan house. I also heard that it is used for interior decoration, but I wonder if it is for castle interior decoration or not. "Shall I go get it?" "Thanks, but it''s not that easy, is it?" "If <><><>> is right, I already have some of those, okay?" "Really!¡¡Then I would like you to give it to me. I''ve already sent out requests to other adventurers, and I''d like three of each if possible. If you give us that much, when the officials come, we will be able to tell them that we are trading for supplies. You get a leaflet that gives you an idea of the price to build a house, ask for the location of a dungeon with <>, and leave the store. To my delight, once I have delivered the stone, they will accept the second request, so there seems to be no need to deliver the stone again at the clan house. I also asked him where I can get the materials for <><>. <<> in Faina, <> near Lakonos Island in Fagat, <> in the Narn Mountains on the Isle side, and <> in the Paltine Mountains on the Baron side. It seems that you can take these with you by combining them with alchemy to make <>. To make them into <<>, you need the skills of an architect and a carpenter respectively. Will players be able to make them soon?¡¡I don''t have any friends who are woodworkers, so I don''t have any information. <, and red and blue <<<>, and the ranks that can be put in them are different. The red one must be made from <>. If you bring <>, they are half price, and if you bring <><>, you only have to pay 500,000, plus the price of what you put in. Fishing is a problem, I''ll ask Leo. The water polyp eggs are in storage, not knowing what to do with them, but let''s go get some more before it gets too crowded. Better if we all go together anyway, we''ll hold off till the night. Well, what shall we do? The used bookstore is probably not open yet, and I wonder how Julius and Ruba are doing, but Julius seems to be urging me to show up. I should go to the apothecary''s guild and give Master Pieg the possession wards, then the secondhand bookstore will be open. Decide on a course of action and start walking. As we start walking, Peter calls for help. Peter: Homura, are you free? Homura: Oh. If it''s until dusk this time, we''ll drop in for dinner afterwards. Peter: I need your help. Homura: Roger that. Where are you? Peter: The Blue Dragon of Narn. I''ll pick you up at Sir. Today''s schedule is set. 116 - - The Blue Dragon "What do we do about the blue dragon?¡¡Me, recover?¡¡Oh, silver is safe and mithril was more expensive." He asks as he hands over the mithril he processed from the silver. "I''m glad you didn''t lose anything. Please heal and shield yourself in battle. I have to be the main opponent, and the cave we''re going to, I''ll absorb magic to strengthen the boss and the blue dragon, so no offensive magic is allowed. Also, we''re not going to defeat the blue dragon. "Yes, sir. But what''s with the wizard-free stage? The bosses themselves are rather weak against magic. I think it''s so that specialized attackers won''t be favored.¡¡My event has started, and usually the bosses are away when I go with them." "Come to think of it, the liberation bosses in the city were like that, both in the guild recruitment ads and the ones for the guys who were holed up at the gate." If the boss you want to defeat is weak against magic, only magic-specialized and physical-specialized attackers are recruited. As everyone''s level has improved, it has become easier for all jobs, although the job restrictions seem to have loosened in the recruitment process at Fast to Sir. "The medicine I received was sufficient, and I had taken so many skills that I had completely lost the means of recovery. It''s hard to deal with enemies that are faster than I am and enemies that have a special attack. "The means of recovery, or rather it''s durability, is ......." "I promise I won''t tell you that." Talking with Peter on a mountain road in Narn. I use , which I haven''t used for a while, since it is convenient for Peter''s skills. My equipment is all black with a half ring. However, I can''t die while I''m helping him, so I equip <> and <>. Peter''s fighting style is tricky as ever, and he sometimes disappears in the middle of the fight, so the enemy''s attention is drawn to the healer. It may be impossible for a recovery person to be a healer in a two-man team. I also need to equip <<< boots of the gale>> or I will be left behind. If I equip it, I am rather faster than him, but with the use of movement skills, Peter again surpasses me. "By the way, Homura, you can add to the material by kneading later..." "Cognitive blocking?" "Oh, didn''t you have a magic spell?" Level 1. Raise it to .35. "Gghh!" As usual, his tone was fresh and full of laughter, but he was reckless. So, I was to use to move around while sprinkling , which is a level 1 illusion technique. It''s a good thing that I don''t scatter scales with illusions. ....... It''s also dumb to declare that I''m not good at butterflies now. I''m going to be bluffing here. I was lucky to get to level 5 soon after I started to hang butterflies while I was recovering. But I can now produce butterflies from a distance within my field of view, but what I can produce is still a . What a hardship! And so the Narn Mountains are the caves where the blue dragons live. I have been able to pass through most of the enemies in the mountains by using my speed, but this is not possible in the cave because of its narrowness. "I''ll just follow behind you here too, right? "Yes, thank you for just recovering." The cave walls started out as earthen walls, then changed to rock walls, and then to pale, wet rock walls. In addition, there was always about one centimeter of water around our feet, probably due to the accumulation of water seeping out from the walls and ceiling. The blue dragon must be either blue in color or a water dragon, and from the looks of it, it must be the latter. Is it smooth like Reno? "Homura, is it floating?" "The water splashes under his feet, so he''s . It seems to be hard to control if he has a habit of stepping into the water or if he focuses on speed, but do you put it on Peter?" Actually, I also use [Aerial Movement] quietly, but of course it only works on myself. alone is still too fluffy and makes me feel insecure. "Take a seat!" "Yes, yes." Let''s raise the level of [air magic]. I cast <> on him while casting <>, so that I and Peter''s <> will not be interrupted. This is not only to raise the level of magic, but also to train me to use it at the same time. It takes some getting used to. But Peter got used to it in no time! "I like this." He''s running on the wall, this guy. "If you can put <> on with Nerikane, can''t you also put <> on?" Succubus''s saihai boots are non-transferable. Solo rewards are usually non-transferable and indestructible. Unlike sacred weapons, they are indestructible, but if you use them, their durability will be reduced and their defense will be lowered, but they will stop at durability 1 without being broken. The durability can be repaired by paying a repair shop in town, by having the corresponding production worker maintain the equipment, or by repairing it yourself with the corresponding <. The latter two can restore durability in the field or dungeon, which is useful in places with <> or <> enemies or on long journeys. It would be possible, but it would be difficult to find the materials to attach the effect to the equipment, not to give it temporarily or to activate it. < that is activated as an item and then disappears. "I guess I''ll have to start by finding out what is consistently applied to, which will be a challenge." By the way, the crystal I gave to Christina, which pointed to a malicious person, disappeared after three times, notwithstanding its good luck effect. "Yes. There are materials that come with the crystal originally, and also later on, though it''s easier to add attributes, enhancements, and resistances. I think you have to choose the right materials for powerful ones, too. "If you put the gems together with the magic circle and knead it, it will be more stable, okay?" "It looks like you can get skills at the isle. But like goldsmithing, it also requires magic and dexterity, so it will be hard if you don''t specialize in production early on. Do you have Homura? "I took it, but I guess [magic circle] is just a bonus because of the restrictions." "Too bad." They are still fighting off the enemies that appear while exchanging such conversations. The enemies that appear here are all blue, reptilian or amphibian, such as spiny scale snakes, water lizards, and frogs. The exception is Kelpie, a horse-shaped monster that appears as if it were rising water. I miss Fluffy ....... I am not bothered by the attacks, but Peter knows that. Still, he seems to care about me, and he strokes all the enemies and turns their eyes to him before he starts a full-scale attack. The attacks of snakes and some frogs'' tongues are much faster than those of enemies in the field or in the 10th layer of the labyrinth, and they look a little dangerous, but they seem to be fine as long as they do not get hit by Kelpie''s general attack and they avoid or destroy the big moves. From the way they are talking, they have been here once before. Since you seem to be paying attention to me, I''m going to practice my recovery. Since <> with magic increases the rate of hostility, I throw a recovery potion while practicing [Throwing], and recover while trying not to be seen by the enemy. A snake comes toward me, so I cut it down. "It''s so hard!" "Well, I''m not a shield either. I don''t have the skill to get hostile attention." Peter says with a laugh. The job of the recovery worker is to heal allies, of course, but the most important thing is not to be seen by the enemy. Otherwise, enemies will rush to the low-protected healers, and the healers will sink. It is needless to say that the party will be left without a healer. The best thing to do is to always keep the H! The best thing is to always keep the H! The enemy''s view is especially important when the H! which is not reduced by 10, will be increased by recovering 1000. Sometimes Ochazuke encourages self-healing with medicine, or everyone puts in the recovery of water spirits not only because the number of <> moves cannot be made in time, but also because of such circumstances. Our party is biased toward offensive power, and defensive power is questionable, so everyone is quickly losing H! It is very hard to make a tea-ceremony. Considering this, it''s fortuitous that everyone can recover with [Spirit of Water]. I''m here to heal up fast and cut them down when they get tagged. It''s a role I''m not suited for! However, it is a good experience for us to simulate the profession so that we can understand the actions that the healer does not want the attacker to take. So, I am recovering quietly and quietly. It''s amazing that those who are in the real job can read the movements of the whole party, predict the enemy''s attack, and heal without a hitch. We''re here. After the narrow cave, we passed through an unnaturally large space - the boss''s room where he was probably not at home - and beyond that was a spacious blue crystal space. Pillar-like blue transparent crystals fill the view. If they are all extending in the same direction from the bottom, they are quite free, extending diagonally down from the ceiling. "It''s beautiful." "Yeah. The last time I came here, it was very difficult because of the water. Be careful with the crystals. "Heh." Although it is hard to tell where the light source is, the blue crystal pillars, large and small, floating in the vast underground space are slightly shining, creating a spectacular scene. Water was still pooling under our feet, and it seemed to be getting deeper and deeper. As we moved deeper, avoiding the crystals, a large presence was seen. "Blue Dragon!¡¡I''ll take your scales as promised!" "Well, here you are again, kid." Unusually, Peter seems hot-headed. This time I won''t be as ugly as before! "One more man is nothing!¡¡Come on!" You''ve been here once and lost, that''s why you''re so hot-blooded. Is the blue dragon one size bigger than Parthin?¡¡Unlike hers, which has a rugged, metallic outer shell, and unlike the outer skin of Reno''s hide, it has shiny scales. Scales that are translucent blue, just like the blue crystal that seems to cover this place. The location of this dragon also gives the impression of purity. A blue dragon leans its long neck and howls. While I am listening and observing, the battle is about to begin. "<>" "<><>>" Peter now has two men. And before I knew it, they were using two daggers. The two black-clad Petros attack the blue dragon in shadowy, symmetrical movements. "Hey, Mr. Peter!" I''m busy. We need to poison them before they get here." "I don''t mean to say this, but it looks very villainous." Ninja is not justice! The answer was all the more refreshing. Using crystals stretching in various directions from the ceiling and walls as footholds, Peter continued his attack without a moment''s pause. The blue dragon is already poisoned. "You son of a b*tc*!¡¡Chip, chip, tap, tap!¡¡You''re faster than the first time!" Ao Ryu, perhaps cut off by an attack that doesn''t hit him, launches a general attack of <>. It''s something like he poisoned her and she poisoned him back. "<>" "Kid!¡¡You brought the healer!" While I was thinking that I was just an extra and would do my job of recovery, a tail flew up and shattered the crystal pillar on which I was riding. I avoided the tail itself, but the broken crystal grazed my body. I saw that the broken crystals were thin and diamond-shaped, shining like sharp blades. I was hit pretty hard by the attack that came from an unexpected direction. And if my [Aerial Movement] <> had not been in effect, I would have fallen with the broken crystal. I fell on a sharp crystal. It is said that this crystal is not only a foothold for the player, but also a means of attack for the blue dragon. This must be what Peter was talking about when he said it was dangerous. Basically, the clan members have an unspoken agreement in previous games that they do not give detailed explanations (spoilers) of new locations unless asked, and only explain them when they return to the dead. By the way, when you go back to the dead, some of the clan members who have been there before will be with you as a matter of course. I think I am really blessed with good friends. Even if the [deadly poison] makes the H! is cut down, even if he''s running around with his speed. I feel sorry for Blue Dragon. You have completed the victory condition in the battle against the blue dragon. I have obtained four blue dragon scales. I have obtained 5 blue dragon crystals. I got 1 blue dragon fang. 117 - - 115. We Are Not Listening to Each Other "Let''s see. ?" From the communication before and during the battle, it seems that the dragon does not attack too often, so I heal the blue dragon from the poison. Although the announcement of victory has been made, I am still a little lost because I had just been fighting with the dragon. "d*mn, a small one can heal me..." "Kukkoro-san, please limit yourself to humanoid women only." Peter quickly retorts to the reluctant Seiryu. "No, no?¡¡Rival men often say that in shounen manga. And I didn''t say kill him first. It should have been short for "d*mn, kill him," right? The blue dragon has no major wounds, but there are small cuts all over his body, wounds that Peter put on him to keep the [deadly poison] alive. < on him, they disappear like a funny thing. Bahamut is special after all. "Thank you, little one." No, I''m the one who put it on. It was hard to answer, so I just shrugged my shoulders in silence. "Kid, I''ll give you my scales like I promised." "Yes, yes, thank you." Peter answers curtly. Is it different from the scales of the drop? "But you, boy, you who wish to go on in the underworld!¡¡You shall find your master!" The blue dragon howls. "To walk in darkness, you need a beacon of light. It doesn''t have to be the sun, but a light like a star to guide us! This exaggeration, the feeling that you are not reading their air: ....... Ah. Okay, it''s a Verstuyptype. That''s right, he''s a Verstuy type. The type of person who is intoxicated by himself and the atmosphere, or the honest type may be excited, but the other party is Peter. "Even if it is a small presence, it will be a great help to walk in the darkness where there is nothing!" I thought that there was a lot of excitement, but I decided not to listen to it because it was an event that had nothing to do with me, so let''s check the drops so far. I thought so, but it seemed I was not the only one who decided not to listen to the party conversation from Peter. Are you sure?¡¡Event facilitator. Peter: You didn''t have to recover. Homura: You''re right, I probably would have been more mature if I''d been poisoned. Peter: Oh, I just pictured a death-death-scam scene and doubled my depression. I feel like I could kill him if I could just get in a couple more times. Homura: [deadly poison] That was great. Peter: If you do your "job" seriously, you''ll probably get a homura, too.¡¡It''s rather hard to hurt the target, isn''t it? Homura: You''re neglecting assassination. Peter: maybe even a pharmacist can get one. Homura: This stage is beautiful, but the group battle seems to be troublesome. Peter: I can easily imagine Leo dropping a crystal pillar on a bowl of tea! Homura: Our allies are our enemies!¡¡Something like that. Peter: Well, this is an event stage, and the battle usually ends with the boss in front of this stage. "So little light, even!" Homura: Blue Dragon, aren''t we on a loop? Peter: Sorry, I keep saying that someone has to respond back. Just say something to him. Homura: No, no, no, whoever is facilitating the event, go ahead. "I don''t need the light!" Peter said his lines with his fingertips extended and aligned in a serviced gesture, his hands brushing across his chest. Homura: Cool (stick)! Peter: Hmph. They both kept straight faces during the party conversation. They are reading the air and being considerate. "But, boy, you have someone to protect, too. In contrast to the exuberant tone of his earlier words, he quietly asks Peter a question, as if admonishing him. "Have you not followed me, little one, in your fear of me, the Mighty One? Then he barks again in a strong tone and slams his tail on the ground. ""What?"" In a space like the depths of dimly lit water, the owner of scales bluer than crystal shines. A pair of split eyes, shining brightly among them, looks at me as if to say, "How do you like that? A spark of fire is flying this way! "No, not particularly. ......" I''m not afraid, nor do I want to endure it. Before I can finish, the blue dragon speaks up. "Oh, you don''t have to hide it, little one. It is not in the boy''s best interest to be cautious now. A small shake of the head as if to say, "I know, I know. "No, really ......." "Only the bearers of the [blessings] of the gods can be unafraid in my presence, and they have nothing to be ashamed of." I didn''t get to finish my sentence again. You don''t listen to me, you dragon. £¡£¡£¡£¡ "Peter, you dragon, you''re a pain in the ass!" "Me too." Oh, I forgot to make it a party conversation. What''s the trouble? The blue dragon leans its head back and howls. With each bark, its tail slams against the ground and splashes from the shallow pool of water. You keep howling, dragon. You think if you howl louder, you''ll get swept away. "Listen to me, I have the blessing too." I''m a Favored One. "Well, not everyone has met more than one god!" And I didn''t believe him when he told me! "I can''t help it if he''s here." Can I go home now? "If you say so, prove it to me!¡¡That you are not afraid of me, that you are not a bluffer, and that you are not just a fool who does not fear me!" "Yes, sir." I was slightly annoyed, so I answered immediately, and when I hit the ground with my levitation, I landed softly on the crystal pillar above me at a not-so-fast ascent. He landed softly on the crystal pillar above him, at eye level with the blue dragon, which is quite a height. In my upraised hand appears a great sword, which I am not supposed to be able to hold in my profession. I have never used it before, but since it is a replica of Galahad''s sword, its power is guaranteed. I turn my aim a little. The purpose is not to defeat him, but to show him its power. The technique he will unleash in response to the blue dragon is... "The great sword of absolution!" The blue dragon, whose astonishment is evident even in its dragon face, activates briefly while I swing my sword, and there''s no stopping it now. The beautiful sword became a great sword of light. The huge sword that surpasses even the blue dragon looks like a transparent glass sword with light gathering around it. When it is swung out, it strikes its target without any resistance, scattering light and shattering. It is not only the temporary sword that shatters, but also the crystal pillar in the sword''s path, its surroundings, and the ground next to the blue dragon. Everything is shattered. I''m glad I didn''t go for the blue dragon. I had a bad feeling about it, because it took much more time than Galahad''s to be able to use it. I got the skill [Awe] by frightening the dragon with a name. We have identified three skills [Awe], [Supremacy], and [Intimidation] that are related to the desire to overwhelm the opponent. You have acquired the skill ¡¾Awe¡¿. Awe," "High spirit," and "Intimidation" will be integrated into "Awe" and "High spirit". The water on the floor is now being sucked noisily into the hole. A play that hurriedly recovers and apologizes to the blue dragon that got a little caught in the middle. The tail that had been flapping around has curled up, but it''s not so cute when it''s being pulled by a big dragon. "He was totally going for the kill with his special move." Peter laughs and gives his opinion. "It wasn''t supposed to be this spectacular. Should I have said something like, "I was scared, but Peter threatened me, so I had no choice. ......" and broke down crying? "Don''t do that, it''s creepy." The answer was immediate. It just happened to be available. ...... skill should be checked before using it in production, sorry, sorry. "So, do I get scales?" As I was reflecting on this in my mind, Peter was stepping on the crystal that was scattered in small pieces in the water and asking me about it as he came around to the front of the blue dragon that was squirming toward the collapsed crystal. I was thinking that I should have waited for him to recover a little longer, but he was the one who had done it, so I kept silent and watched him. "Of course! A palm-sized light slowly moved from the flustered blue dragon''s forehead toward Peter, and when Peter took it in his hand, it turned into a single translucent blue scale. There are two rings made from the scales. One is yours, to increase your chance of survival. The other is for you to protect and serve whom you have chosen. When the rings are near each other, call on my name and I will help you. Does this mean that Peter can call the blue dragon? Is this what he was trying to tell us earlier? "My name is ." Just as I call white white, Narn and Parthin are common names, not [true names]. Even if the common name and the [true name] are the same, they are only effective if you are told the name by the person himself, or if you open the book of legends in which the [true names] of all creatures are written and call out the name. And the pages of the are scattered in different parts. Since I did not proceed with this event, I did not seem to be qualified for it, and I did not hear the name given by the blue dragon. It seems as if he might do me a favor if I asked him for it. I wish he would stop glancing at me, and when our eyes meet, he turns his head away and shakes his head. The "great sword of absolution" is no longer usable because the gauge is empty, something that makes me want to appeal that it''s harmless now. I''m glad to hear that you''re okay (?). Peter''s event seems to be over and he returns to the city. "So, Verus gave you this?" "Yeah, but Galahad and the others had Asha''s [Blessing], so it might be a combined skill of the heroes." "Wow, that sounds like a lot of work." He talks about the time he acquired the [Great Sword of Absolution] because he did not mind if it deteriorated. Peter is not as good as Ochazuke, but he is the type of person who uses spoiler boards to get a variety of things in a wide and shallow way. And he makes up for his deteriorated abilities by encountering new events on his own, showing his strange obsession. The reason why all of them have high abilities are assassination or covert type is probably because of their obsession and actions. If there is a high ability in a pinpoint, is it possible to acquire a wide variety of abilities and combine them, even if the other abilities are slightly degraded?¡¡I think. It is a prerequisite to know your own skills and use them well, but this is also a prerequisite to be a good Peter. By the way, I have met the gods several times and received [favor], but Peter said that he received [protection], [blessing], and [blessing], and he has never received [favor] even though he has met the gods several times. It is verified that the order of effectiveness is ¡¾Blessing¡¿ > ¡¾Blessing¡¿ > ¡¾Blessing¡¿ > ¡¾Blessing¡¿, when they encounter each other without knowing the location of the encounter. He said that it might be lower if the place is spoiled in advance. I left Peter, who looked tired, and went back to the usual inn for dinner and a bath, and logged out. When I came back, it was finally the time of night when many people would be logging in. What will happen to the restaurant? I''ll say hello to both neighbors who might be inconvenienced by the queue before it gets too crowded. .......

I had an early supper of freshly cooked rice, burdock, sashimi of sea bass, miso soup, and pickled melon. Recently, I have been trying to log in as soon as possible, so my diet in the real world has been biased toward "pre-prepared" or "quick" foods. Well, both burdock and pickled gourd were "leftovers", and I bought sashimi and made miso soup. It is probably a more decent looking dinner than a "one dish meal" of curry or pasta with tomatoes in the retort sauce as a minor resistance. I have been eating out more and more because I want to get it over with quickly. In terms of my wallet, I''m actually wasting less money since I''m in another world and have no other expenses to spend except for food. Cooking rice is fine, but taking care of the rice cooker is a hassle. The best thing about [another world] is that I don''t have to clean up," I think to myself as I finish cleaning up. Another early morning arrival. The residents'' workshops have already finished their morning cleaning and are beginning to inspect their work equipment to get ready for work. For the players, it''s just before the time of day when many people will be logging in. Those who have just come home from work and have eaten a convenience store lunch or a cup of noodles are already logging in. To be more specific, Leo is logged in, so I skip the clan conversation with a guy who is fishing somewhere, and ask Ochazuke and Peter if they want to go gather materials for the clan house when everyone is here. Ochazuke: What are we going to do about the materials for the house and where?¡¡I prefer Fast for business and South Island for vacation. Homura: Since the materials are scattered all over the country, I''ll take you to various places by transfer as I promised. Leo: I''d like to go somewhere near the sea or a river. Peter: Make sure you have money for transportation other than transfers, especially to the southern islands, which cost a lot of money for boats. Leo: Wahahahaha!¡¡I''ll do my best! Ochazuke: I guess everyone will be here around midnight today, our time.¡¡Shin has to work a little overtime? Peter: Around that time then. If it''s at night, I guess I''ll have to gather materials first. Homura: We''ll coordinate when we get together again. That''s the deal. I''ll go to the store and see if the one next door is open. I''d like to say hello to them before the line starts to form, if possible. I should bring some metal or leather for Elias to use as material for light armor, and some cloth for the clothing store on the opposite side.¡¡I don''t know what store is on the corner next to Elias. No, I think we''ll just stick with a pastry. I''m afraid they''ll be too careful if I bring in materials that aren''t widely available. I''d like to make soba noodles, but unfortunately I haven''t gotten them yet. We move to the store and make pastries. The embroidery store was also manned by a woman, as I recall, so I try to make it look as pretty as possible. If the corner store is run by a swarthy man, I''ll ask him to give up. I''m going to make a lot of different kinds, and the leftovers will be used as snacks for the store (here). For [Packaging], you can prepare boxes, ribbons, and fillings in your belongings, and they will box and wrap them to look nice, if you choose what kind of taste you want, and for [Serving], they will serve them on a plate or other container, again to look nice. If the original dish is not colorful enough, they will also add mini-tomatoes and lettuce if they have them to make the dish more colorful. In addition, several kinds of regular meals are also prepared and placed on the shelves. I know I logged out last time without coming back here, but it would be fine if we don''t see each other every day, but I''d like to add meals and snacks as a welfare program. They will stay fresh as long as you don''t take them off the shelf, and if you don''t feel like eating them, you can just leave them out. I prepared an assortment of cream puffs filled with vanilla beans and whipped cream, cookies and macaroons. ...... and spinach and egg cocotte. I was going to bring something sweet no doubt because of the two sweet skis, but some people don''t have a sweet tooth. And I felt that I would have to eat ham and sausage if I brought them to people who don''t [cook], so I decided to go with 10 egg dishes ...... that would improve the dexterity of the dish, and here we are. It''s a choice that I think is not so good in the real world. It is difficult to give something to someone. After breakfast with Cal and Reno who woke up, I confirmed that everything was fine while I was away. "Oh, by the way, can you teach me how to carry a drunk or how to get rid of him?" "Can''t you just use the string [that thing] you wrapped around me?" Reno asks. "That one needs time to prepare without being noticed, it''s not for emergencies. Or maybe if the [thread] level goes up, I''ll learn some quick capture skills or something? "Drunks are one thing, but wizards are vulnerable when they get too close. I can teach you a few things for self-defense." "Yes, please." I''m a magic swordsman, but that''s okay. When I met Cal, I killed a bounty hunter with a sword, but I wonder if he had already put it away.¡¡Still, Cal would have noticed a wound that wasn''t caused by magic or daggers. "If it''s being produced, then the DEX is high, right?" "If the equipment compensates." "I see." Apparently, he wondered why the production rating was so stable for a wizard, but the equipment thing seems to have convinced him. They don''t seem to be aware of the strange things like material ranks, or perhaps they are not familiar with the production side of things. Well, so far, the only time he ignored the rank is when he made the possession-preventing [Mei no Kaijishi], and the rest is almost only foodstuff, so it may be hard to notice. I successfully learned the art of self-defense(?) from Kalu. I go outside in a good mood, Elias seems to be open. Cal came with me to greet me as a bouncer of the store. We started with Elias''s store on the right. Thankfully there are no customers yet. "Hi, I''m the guy next door." "Oh, is that Mr. Lengard you''ve heard so much about?" "Rumor?" I wasn''t sure whether to say my name was Homura or Lengard, but they identified me before I even said my name! Elias''s store has a workbench behind the counter, and the sales floor on the first floor is smaller than ours, but it seems that not only the first floor but also the second floor is a sales floor. The staircase is accessible to customers, and some products are displayed on the wall in the middle of the staircase without being vulgar. The interior of the store has a slightly coquettish impression, with many curvy designs that give a soft impression. There is no sign of staff. "You are very famous for selling medicines and stones. I''m not much of a fighter, and I don''t move around much, but I''m a big fan of the Ring of Dexterity +3. Elias speaks with a smile on his face. His light cherry-red hair is untied today and is flowing in its natural state. Her long china is slit up to her thighs as usual, and she is wearing a flat top. "This is Lengard, we deal mainly in consumables. The store is only open in the afternoon and evening, but there seems to be a line up this way. It will calm down as soon as we start selling other things, but it might bother you for a while." I''m Cal, I''m the bouncer next door. If you need anything, please let me know." "Oh, thank you very much for your kindness. You are more like a security guard than a bouncer. Cal is certainly far from the image of a ruffian. The first mission is successfully completed by pushing a box of pastries and a cocotte. And then the corner store. The line extends to the side close to the main street, thus causing problems for Elias''s store and the one on the corner next to it. I do not know the branch of the Commercial Guild at the end of the turn. I wondered what kind of store it was, but it turned out to be the one where I had bought a throwing knife from a stall for nothing, even though I had no throwing ability. It is a sword store that sells everything from daggers to slender swords, and its name is called <. The design is tasteful, and the swords are probably of good quality. Perhaps it is because I have seen Luba''s swords that I have no interest in swords, but daggers and throwing knives have a form that makes me want to "look and buy" them. It''s a bit dangerous for me. Thanks to the "Storage" skill, there is practically no limit to the number of possessions, and I have a lot of money now, even though I have plans to use it in the future. Normally, either there is no room in my belongings or I have no money, but this is a temptation when both of them are clear. I will not use it, I will never use it. I have [Throwing] now, but I will not throw it because it would be a waste even if I buy it. It will be a feces in the warehouse for sure. There was no owner (player) in this store, only clerks. I asked him to take a message and left early without even saying hello to him. It was too much of a sight for sore eyes. If the name of the store is <>, you can read the name and a brief description of the store by just gazing at the store even if it does not actually have a sign. The clothing and embroidery shop is called <>. You open the door of the store (Dahlia), remembering that you have not set up ...... because it is too much trouble. The door is opened easily. The atmosphere here is bright and clean. Two sisters dressed in matching ao dai-like white outfits answered the door. The elder sister, Rindo, has embroidery on the hem and cuffs that gradates from light blue to dark purple, and the younger sister, Kikyo, has embroidery that changes from light green to blue-purple. The first floor is an unmanned counter selling ready-made products, while the second floor is a place for customers to place orders and receive work directly. Even in the days of the street stalls, the customers would add their own embroideries to the products. Many of the robes and coats on display are made of monochromatic fabrics, perhaps to show off the embroidery. It seemed that the shop handled not only fabrics but also thin skins, and there were boots with western-style embroidery. The counter can be set up for only five purchases. The counter and the set of the trading warehouse can be set to <>, and the name of the item to be purchased and the amount to be paid can be set. Since sales are also entered into the same warehouse, you can set a percentage of the total amount in the warehouse to be used for purchases, and the more items you sell, the more you can buy. This is only possible if the purchase price is appropriate. If you choose the counter of <>, the number of sales is reversed and you can set more purchases for the counter. If you have enough funds, you can put both the regular counter and the pawnbroker''s counter. These sisters were most pleased with the cream puffs. It makes me a little happy. After greeting them, I went downstairs and found a customer shopping. I would like to see his pants, but I will come back later. "Cal, thanks for having me." No, thank you for meeting me. It will be easier for me to deal with you as a bouncer if you know the neighborhood. He thanks me with a smile. Already a few days after opening, Cal is the owner and I could just be producing, but he stands up for me. The owner (me) is never there at a certain time, even though we have very limited business hours. I''m sorry for leaving things as they are. But as soon as I get back to the store, he asks for a double cream puff with Leno, so I guess I don''t have to worry about it. How did you two become such hungry characters ......? 119 - - The Missing Information Currently carrying a leno in the backyard . Cal is teaching me how to carry drunken ...... not injured people. According to Cal, it is important to know where the opponent''s center of gravity is, which he also told me when he was teaching me how to handle an attacker. Thanks to this, many skills such as [jujutsu], [aikido], [te], and [kobo] appeared in the skill list, and [te] seems to be a little like karate from the explanation. The reason why there are so many is not because Kal has all of them, is it? To be honest, I was a bit tempted to take a peek at the status. I think he will show me if I ask him to, but I can''t tell him since he declared that he would do his best to pretend not to see Cal is, let''s just assume that he is indeed a knight of the lake. I guess Kal is really great in the physical arts, because Reno, a Dragonute who is supposed to have higher potential than humans in terms of his race, was very impressed when he saw Kal instructing me. As for me, who is easily rolled on the ground and twisted backward, I would like him to be stronger, but I also want to know that he is strong even though he is a handsome guy!¡¡I have mixed feelings about this. As for the physical training, [kiri], [taijutsu], [evasion], and [kataori] have been strengthened!¡¡After the announcement, the number of seizures dramatically decreased, but only decreased. The Lord (master) is a magician by profession, right?¡¡It is better to aim to keep your distance from the attacker when he steps into your bosom than to aim to beat him with your bare hands. If you try to beat those who are experts in martial arts, you will have to acquire peripheral skills as well. "I think it''s better to focus on avoiding rather than learning half of what you need to know. After two of them gave me a hard time, I gave up the idea of acquiring a bare-knuckle martial art. I don''t have any skill points. Since they said they would continue to train me again, I decided not to take any new skills but to focus on strengthening my existing skills of [kiri], [taijutsu], and [evasion]. My goals are to "get out of time", "don''t get caught", "avoid", and "handle" Kalu. I will do my best for the martial arts competition. And now to the second request, dealing with drunks. Strangely enough, the more forceful the person I was carrying was, the lighter I felt, and the less force I felt, the heavier I felt. It seems to be hard to carry a person who has lost his/her identity. We were taught how to carry a person using a concealing line (a strong cloth) and how to move the limbs of Reno, who was playing the role of a fallen person, to create a position in which he could be easily lifted up. I was wondering if I could use to avoid the need to carry him.¡¡By the time I came to this conclusion, I was already carrying Reno on my shoulders, and I have not been able to say so. Is there any character in your brain who can give me a timely explanation and recommendation of my skills, such as Mr. [Appraisal] or Mr. Navigation? I felt guilty for some reason, so after the class, I settled for serving gateau au chocolat with lots of whipped cream and orange ice cream. After the tea, I made some changes to the store''s sales settings and set up the purchase of stones with the attributes of Thursday, Tuesday, Saturday, Friday, and water, which is exactly five. The amount of purchase is only a little higher than that of the resident (N!?C), and of course the purchase only works during the opening hours of the store, so I originally had no expectations when the store only opens in the afternoon. On the first day, I limited myself to lunchboxes (rice), but since I''m in the most logged-in time zone, I''ll offer something. Master, I look forward to working with you again today. Lapidus and Noel greet me with smiles. While I was engrossed in miscellaneous production, Cal had gone out to pick them up, and two of our signature clerks arrived. I''d like to get them uniforms. ...... I wonder if we have to measure the position of the tail hole and the size of the pants and skirts for beastmen. I''ll ask Shin or Leo later, or better yet, Kikuhime. Yes, thank you. From the moment we met in the temple, it has become a habit for me to stroke his head as he hugs me from both sides as soon as I greet him. In my right hand, I have a pair of ears that twitched in my black hair, and in my left hand, a pair of ears that twitched in my gray hair. Is it my father, or am I... I sublimate the urge to wag my tail by petting the ears. Today, I''ll call up the white one and wiggle it. The white one is the best to the touch. Curry and rice for lunch today. The limited edition that I prepared for the restaurant is also curry and rice. I must resume the search for rice. "Oh, this white rice is good. I like it." Luckily, Reno seems to like the rice, so we can ask him to help us find some rice and he will give us a ride. "You don''t like it with curry, but only with white rice?" Curry is delicious, but only with white rice. It goes with everything. I like white rice with vegetables too, especially since I can''t drink alcohol. When I travel, I often have to ask to be served rice first. "Isn''t Lapidus and Noel spicy?" "Delicious!" "It''s delicious." The two of them are munching and eating in a very well-behaved manner, and I hope they will soon get back to their normal size. Unlike the adults who are gently moving the carrots to Reno''s plate, they don''t seem to have any likes or dislikes, and as long as they eat three meals a day, they will be healthy in no time. Maybe they have never been in an environment where they can say what they like and dislike. A child who dislikes likes and dislikes will never grow up to be a fine adult! . I have also opened as many transfer gates as I can near the places where I can collect materials for <> and <>. If you are going to choose a house based on the style of activity, it is convenient to build it in Giaas for trading, in Isle for group battles, in Fagat for the arena, and in Barong for the labyrinth. In Isle, there is a group battle, whether you belong to a school or serve a country, and there are said to be periodical big defeats of demons like a mini-game. The capital, the magical city, looks elegant, but the country seems to be unstable. "I''d rather have the sea!" But we don''t have rivers, do we?" "Nuh." "But we want a big wooden island, too." Kikuhime pushes Fagat while denying Leo''s proposal. Kikuhime and Ochazuke wear different clothes every time they meet. They are not wearing "equipment" but "fashionable clothes". Kikuhime wears a blue and white sailor-like top and bottom, a mini-skirt, and white half-boots that spread from the ankle. Ochazuke wears a red collar and a cape in the style of a prince today, smiling. Both of them have the skill to change their equipment, so they can change their clothes immediately after a battle. While most of the resident adventurers carry their own weapons around town, the gentiles (players) are more fashionably dressed like the two of us, or like me, they keep their weapons in a drawer because they don''t want to be bulky. However, many of those who are known as the "strategy group" wear their weapons and armor tightly even in the city. If they are going to spend skill points for "equipment change" in the first place, they would rather acquire skills that are advantageous in battle, and the fact that they go to the trouble of carrying a large shield on their backs suggests that it is fashionable to "show off their weapons and armor". In fact, warriors and knights we see on the streets look cool. Young girls seem to be fashionably equipped, even changing the weapons they carry, regardless of their occupation. I''m kind of interested in the arena. "I''m thinking of a big plant island, too." While thinking about other things, I also express my hope after Shin. That island had a big impact on me. Shin had played a lot of other games against other people, so he was interested in the arena. "So, an island where we can play dwarfs?" "What did you like about that Peter?" I ask Peter who tried to summarize without expressing his opinion. "I''m not really interested in where I live. "I was an indoor person." "The problem is the money, the land alone is 60 million sil, right?" "10 million per person, right?" Unlike Fast, they are not rented, but bought. However, if no clan member goes in and out for a certain period of time, the ownership of the property will expire, just like non-payment of rental fees. To be clear, if no one logs in for a year in real time, the ownership is lost. "I need to save up before someone buys it. I can already pay for my own." "Bwah!¡¡Holy shit!¡¡I ain''t got no money. £¡£¡£¡£¡" "Same to the right: £¡£¡£¡£¡" "You chose the expensive place because you don''t have the money?¡¡I wonder if I can get it now." We''re a little short. We''ll do our best. "I can get it, too." And now you can pay what you can afford in cash. Shin and Leo just paid me and Ochazuke back our debts from before and after the founding of the clan. I paid Leo and Shin with fish + ¦Á. I''ll have fried < today. "Leo, why doesn''t Shin have any money?" Leo, who goes fishing, collecting and mining all over the place, and returns to death all the time, but why Shin has no money is a mystery to me, too. But I don''t think they have money in other games either. When they want something, both of them have been achieving the goal quite fast and diligently. "I can''t stop enhanced gambling." "Don''t do it." "Stop." "I''ll stop." "Wa-ha-ha-ha!¡¡It''s fun, isn''t it? "Only use weapons that can win, right?" One after the other, they make a comment. "Well, if you don''t do it soon, it might get buried (bought), so just hang in there and save up, okay?" "Yes, sir!" "When you''ve saved up enough, come back and see us again and we''ll show you the islands in the kind you''re looking for. Maybe there''s an island with a river?" "Oh! I''ll do my best!!!!" Peter is verbally encouraging Leo to save up quickly, using the river and ocean fishing as bait. The islands we are looking for are so big with plants and rocks that they make you feel like a dwarf. The islands are small enough to be washed away by the waves on a stormy day in the open sea, but fortunately they are floating in the calm sea between Fagat and Giaas, where there are few waves throughout the year. "I''m so horny to build a treehouse or something!" "Yeah, I know." "Oh!¡¡I wanna build it!" "It would be romantic to be in a tree hollow." Shin and Peter got on board as well, agreeing with Leo''s words. "Make it where we can see the sky so we can see the stars." "The stars were as beautiful as the name of the isle." Ochazuke has a weakness for the phrases attic, skylight, and star-filled sky in the real world. "I''ll take a pretty one, please. But who''s going to build it? "Are you an architect and a carpenter?" Shin asks. "Yes, but it''s not a normal house, so the order fee is going to be expensive." "Maybe I should aim to get [carpentry]..." When I said it was too expensive, Leo made a remark that indicated he would build it on his own. "Where does Leo think he''s going?" "The skills acquired seem to be a lost cause." "I already feel that Leo''s skills are out of date." "How long will it take to build?" And one after the other, the tweets . "But building a treehouse on your own sure sounds like fun." I want a little [carpentry] as well as Leo inadvertently. "Even though the island is small, it looks like you can build a few houses, so why don''t you build them normally and then build them on your own as long as you don''t destroy the landscape?" "Oh!" Leo responds to Peter''s suggestion with vigor. It seems he will surely add another stray skill to his list. "We need to raise funds first. Should we stay in the labyrinth? "Do you want to do three orcs?¡¡They want a house in a different part of the city than the store, even for production jobs, and materials for queries are pretty expensive right now." "Oh, really?" "You can''t sell it on consignment, but even if you sell it to a buyer, you''ll be in the black even if you have to pay for the transfer of layers." "Material drops along the way are still expensive, too. As soon as the strategy is posted on the forum, the number will increase quickly, so it''s a good time to get in on the action. "Yeah, now it''s already on the 5th layer. The other three, like me, listen to what they have to say and only join in with them. If you can get to the place where the ...... fairy is, I recommend you to go around the bosses and other places for the drop of <> of light and dark on the way. "Ugh, I forgot about the zombies..." Here comes the labyrinth. And then, after being greeted by orcs, we reached the 9th layer. The smell and the flying something! "Hey, Homura-san, you want to take over as the healer?" "Yea, I will not interfere with your training." Right now, I''m switching places with Ochazuke, who wants to improve his [Fighting] skills. He is equipped with a white wand that increases the effectiveness of his [Sacred Magic], after having lowered it by wearing black normal equipment + . If it were a game where I could create a second character, I would create a second character as soon as the difference in level is detected and match the strength of the two characters, but unfortunately, only one character can be created in this world so far. It is more fun for both of us to play with the same strength. Since I''m not good at healing, I mix in [throwing], which is a medicine with lower hate than magic. Ochazuke took [Fighting], but he blurted out that he didn''t have time to heal in the field (or in other parties), so I switched the attacker and the healer. Even with < equipped, I can do more damage than him thanks to my skill level, but our party is more attack oriented, so it doesn''t matter if one of us has a lower attack power. The boss is a no-go, though. "You''re a fart!" Shin, the magic fist, is giving Ochazuke the seniority he deserves. Ochazuke has only been a fist fighter once in his early career, and his status leans toward being a holy method user, and his skills are not up to par, making it difficult for him to deal out damage. The party has high attack power but low H! It is very difficult to heal them so that they don''t die and so that they don''t get tagged by the enemy, I''m having a hard time. It is rather my training. How does Ochazuke heal with only magic without taking hate?" "Would you like to take my place so I can show you?" "Huh." Zombies are a bit hard to fight in melee, not only in terms of strength, but also because every time you hit them, things start flying around. Kikuhime kept her shield in front of her face, and even Shin started to use his magic from a distance. Like me the first time, she used [fire] to fill the cave with the smell of burning zombies, which made her unpopular. "Shall we just switch zombies?" "And so it goes." Since there was no way to put <> on the zombies, which I had learned at level 30, I attacked them with <> at level 20 as before, using [stacking]. The two wands were made by the boy Julius. "I can''t believe you''ve lost half of your ability." "Well, thanks to [stacking] and the use of two wands, do you have the same attack power as a normal wizard?" "You''re a [Magical Swordsman], aren''t you?¡¡Don''t forget." When Peter spoke to him, Ochazuke gave him a hard time. Ochazuke was able to return to his main occupational role and seemed to be comfortable. Fighting] I can''t grow up! "Homura, you''re going to a tournament, right?" "Yeah. Will Shin be there?" "I''m going to be there!" "Me too, me too! Leo''s going to be there. Leo''s not an oleore scam, he''s an oleore yaruki. "Oh, yeah. Can you raise Homura?" Peter says, as if remembering. "[Illusion]?" "Right, I promised Homura that I would ask him to attach the that he learns from [Illusion] to an item." Peter explains to Ochazuke, who asks in a questioning tone. "Oh, you''re playing mysterious ninja?¡¡I love it." "Peter, will you also be participating in the tournament as a mysterious ninja?" "If we get the items in time. If not, I''ll be there. "Oops, I didn''t know there was a deadline. I''ll do my best." "If you can make it in time, that''s fine. Unlike Homura, who hides her true identity, this is just a hobby." "Well, I''m half hobbyist and half concealer myself." "It''s more peaceful to keep it hidden." In a previous game, a victim of being chased around by a player was soaked in tea. "I want a < cape too!" "Is that a cape?" Leo jumped on the bandwagon, and Shin quickly intervened. What''s a hood? "A ninja is a squid hood!" "Only squid?" "You mean the Sojuro hood?" I''m not sure I''m the only one who recognizes the squid cape. "Oh, Leo, you still want to be a ninja? Ochazuke''s question echoes through the cave. 121 - - The Three Again Mr. Homura, put away the pigeon. Why? "I''m curious about the symbols of peace packed into the shape of a cave. I wish there was another one. I''ll change it to the symbol of happiness. I had put them in the back of the cave, but they still seemed to be unpopular. "<> is small, isn''t that better?" The only reason they didn''t tell us to stop was because we were supposed to make < items for everyone but Kikuhime. < I heard that it is already available in the world, but if I can make it, I can supply it cheaply. "I see." I was having a little fun filling the cave with [magic]. While having such a conversation, he manages to fight the zombies with ease. It really is a world of difference from the first time. "After all, are three orcs equally cut down and killed at the same time or so? "Maybe there is an order to kill the brothers, but can we kill them evenly?¡¡At least I don''t think it will be any worse than that last time." "I think so. It was terrible last time." Peter answers Shin''s question and Ochazuke agrees. The group is now confirming the procedure for defeating the boss in the corridor leading to the boss''s room at the bottom of the stairs. I remember that I had a very hard time last time because I was not used to < on the way here, and I am not sure if my [pain tolerance] is now working or if I have gotten used to it. "It can''t get any worse than that." "You didn''t want to be on the edge like that." Speaking of me and Chrysanthemum Princess blotting out, Leo is also ...... "Wahahaha!¡¡What was ...... like?" """""Oi""""" We all give a tsk tsk. You forgot that last minute fight with that barrage of high damage attacks! Last time, I made a mistake in my strategy and after defeating one of them, I was hit by monotonous heavy-damage attacks. Seriously, M! of Ochazuke? If you take a moment to take a medicine, you will die!¡¡It was something like that. "What a bird head!" Everyone but Leo nodded at Peter''s words. "That''s easy to understand." "How come we didn''t notice it last time?" "I think it''s because it hurt, and everything shouldn''t hurt." Behind the shield Chrysanthemum Princess, Ochazuke and I chat in front of the red, green, and blue brother orcs. We are talking about the order in which the bosses attack. Not the three of them equally, not the three of them in a certain order, not the three of them in a certain order to be defeated, but the three of them in a certain order to be defeated. The correct answer is to attack the randomly glowing part. Follow the fleeing light as it glows for a moment and then moves on to some other part of the orc, or another part of the same orc. The light moves quite fast, and when we attacked a place where the light was not shining, we were hit by heavy damage like last time. It is very difficult to hit the light, but the mechanism is simple. Why didn''t I notice the light last time? As Kikuhime said, pain seems to take away one''s thoughts. The boss and I are back to our main jobs, so Ochazuke is back to recovering and I am back to attacking. The reason why Ochazuke is giving [Fighting] is because the next derivation is called [Chakra], which is a H!M! The reason why Ochazuke is giving [Fighting] is because there is a recovery skill called [Chakra] as the next derivation. According to Ochazuke, "If you think it is there, it is there. He is right and correct. "This is a very painful magic." It is quite difficult to hit the target even for me, who can fire it without chanting. To avoid hitting other parts of the body, I choose a single magic, [Gold Magic] level 30<<>. I consciously restrain myself from accidentally piling up [range magic], and follow the light. "But if it hits, the magic seems to do a lot of damage, doesn''t it?" Peter, on the other side of the three orcs, says to me. I wonder how Peter and Ochazuke have time to look at people''s damage. But I can tell. Leo is the most active one in this boss. "Ha-ha-ha-ha!¡¡Whack-a-mole omocha~£¡£¡£¡£¡" The speed and precision with which he strikes the light, coupled with his quickness, is amazing, what kind of dynamic vision and reflexes he has. I can activate it without chanting, but there is a lag until the < that appears above the wand''s point lands on the orc, of course. If it is a wood magic such as <>, it will appear right next to the enemy, but they don''t have a magic that can pinpoint attack on that side, at least not right now. Proximity is proximity, and it is going to be hard to chase random glowing things among three of them. If they are too close, it would be hard to see the next light, and it would be troublesome to get in position after the attack in order to connect the next light properly. "Ah!¡¡Shit!¡¡Damage is not increasing. "I can''t get to the combo by going back and forth between the three of them. It''s amazing you can hit them all at once and not skip a beat." He says to Shin, who laments, "I''m sorry, but I can''t help it. Due to the nature of their profession, mages must apply their skills in a certain order or they will not be able to do much damage. "A good fist fighter is able to perform a combo move in a split second! Here''s another one who likes to train. I''ve got three oak straws for the eldest son. I''ve got three oak trees for the second son. I''ve got the youngest oak brick x4. I got the magic stone of the brother orc. I got oak x 10. I got the necklace +2 of poison protection. I got the pot of three orcs. Cleared without incident. And the pot. "What''s a pot? I''m going to get to the point. "It''s a pot, isn''t it?" Singh does not seem to have any doubts. "Oak casserole, like boar casserole, right?" "Ha-ha-ha-ha, eat up!" "The wolf pot that fell down the chimney?" "It looks like the item you consume activates a for a certain amount of time." Consume ...... eat. "Hahahahahaha!¡¡Pot barrier aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!!!" I thought I screamed, but then Leo started glowing gold! "No, it''s just that it''s rare, you know?¡¡Don''t use it for whimsical purposes." "It looks like you can use it ten times, so nine more times?" Ochazuke and Peter are warning each other in dismay. "It''s Leo, give it up." I don''t mind Leo''s flirtation. "It''s tedious and takes a while to get used to, but it wasn''t a boss that nearly killed me." He gives his impressions of the boss battle while looking at Leo running around with a luminous glow. "If you miss a shot, the three H! I felt that if I missed a shot, the difference between the three H! Peter seemed to have analyzed the situation well. "If the boss in the 5th layer is a boss to get used to the pain and the destruction of parts, does that mean that the three orcs (the bosses here) should not be fooled by the pain and should be hit accurately?" "I guess this is where I can learn how to hit quickly and accurately." It was chaos! While talking with Peter, Kikuhime''s voice rises. Leo moves his gaze from Leo to Kikuhime''s, and Peter and I move our gazes to where Kikuhime is looking. Oh, Shin is in the mix. "And here''s the cat''s paw table ......." Ochazuke looks at me and gives me a dumbfounded look. "No, this chaos will continue until the pot wears off anyway, right?" Peter was also sitting in his seat, drinking tea, talking about the boss fight, and looking at Leo casually. "It''s getting more and more chaotic!¡¡The temperature difference is terrible!" Having said that, Kikuhime and Ochazuke eventually took their seats and joined in the chatting while watching Leo and Shin dancing a mysterious dance. This time, tea and plain and chocolate checkered cookies that crumble in one''s mouth, slightly sweet and just a little bit bitter, are Noel''s favorite. Some of the guests were selfish enough to ask for a cup of coffee, so we decided to have a second cup of coffee. We talk about what''s going on and what we have planned for the rest of the evening, interspersed with the occasional commentary on Shin and Leo''s dancing. "So both Homura and Shin are going to the competition.... What division are you going to be in?" "I chose the one at the top of the list. "Only solo?" "Solo." < only, bans on random skills, restraining stages, etc., but I decided to go for the overall because it was more convenient for me time-wise. "By the way, there was an announcement about the modification of the arena..." The arena residents'' skills have been partially disabled." "I wonder if there was a game-balancing crusher skill." Peter waves the recent announcement from the management. "Oh, I saw that on the message board too. I saw it on the message board too. "I thought that was fixed?" "What the hell is that?" "What kind of bug? The forum-users casually let it slide, while Kikuhime and I, who don''t look at the forum, poked fun at it. I don''t understand the meaning of "18 prohibited" in the arena. "I''m getting a little scared of participating in the arena. I had toured the arena a while ago in a humming state. "Don''t worry, it seems to have been taken care of." "How the hell did you deal with ......, I''ve got some scary images of that one." Did they get chomped on? "Don''t be so sure, Princess Chrysanthemum!¡¡I''m going to get a twinge too." "Shall we change the subject?" Peter stopped the flow before we could get into the bottom of the story. I mean, the "hum" means that Ochazuke must have taken off his towel. We change the topic to the future of making money and collecting materials for the <<, and we do the boss here one more time, each of you taking charge of your own collection of materials and helping with the transition if it is convenient for me. The <<> are the two fishermen who have been dancing around since a few minutes ago. Kikuhime and I are in charge of collecting the <<. < Those who can play games for 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, have already moved to their favorite cities and are doing quests in those cities. It is fun to conquer an unfamiliar boss while dying on your own, but most of the people who actually do it are those who are called "front line team" or "strategy team". Well, it may be just a matter of necessity since there is no one else to conquer the bosses. The strategy of a boss spreads by word of mouth, and the number of clearners increases in proportion, and when it appears on a bulletin board, the population density of that boss quickly increases, and more and more clearners are ejected. So, what I want to say is that someone has just posted the strategy of <> on the bulletin board, and it is very difficult to wait around the boss because it is crowded, so <> will be released after the situation has settled down. 122 - - The Bulletin Board No. 5 [Pororo] Chit-chat part26 [Caution]. abbreviation 140 Name: Nobody The arena is in chaos! 141 Name: Nobody Babel and Horus, right?

Continued below 123 - - 121. Start of the Competition Here comes the tournament. When I woke up at the inn, the ochazuke had already left. I knew it would be difficult to have everyone together because of work, but I still miss them a little during the event. The competition for the job Shin was in must have already ended. There was talk of going to a party match together, but Kikuhime! v!? (versus other people) and my return time was uncertain, so that the talk was soon dropped. Since then, I spent my time gathering funds and materials for the clan house, distributing accessories, receiving a new staff from Julius, a sword from Ruba that I could not equip yet, and a set of pants, boots, and small hands from Garganos. When I realized that I would not be able to come home from work on the day I was scheduled to stay on the island, I hurriedly extended my own stay and logged out there. I wondered if I could have tried to visit the Castle of Dreams if I was alone while I was working in the real world. More than anything else, I just noticed that the use of the transfer plate in the arena is permitted for those who are ranked S or higher in the arena. I''ve wasted a lot of money. >. <> Changed by [design embodiment] to Garganos'' design. Accessories are Dragon ring<<> <> with Fire Polyp drop to strengthen the fire attribute, with fire resistance, and >. <>. On the chest <. Weapons are <>, two Rank 36 staffs newly made for me by the boy Julius. The only thing floating around is the pants, but they are very good for a player maid, and I ended up buying them at Dahlia''s next door. The original pants were all black leather with embroidery of a mixture of water patterns and feathers around the outer thighs, but now they are white pants with a garganos design to match the <. The <> are interesting because they have [Levitation] attached to them, and they also have a 20% increase in speed and magic attack power. The magic attack power has a high base value, so the 20% effect is significant, but if you are looking at speed, the <> is superior. I have learned that it is very easy to be faster than <> in a trial arena challenge, so I will not exchange it. <> can be replaced because it increases both intelligence and dexterity, but if we look at dexterity alone, > is a little better. Since the white equipment given to me by the gods should be much better than the others in terms of intelligence, I will take dexterity. I put a good jewelry from a boss drop on <>, which had been left on the pedestal for a long time without being attached to anything. The effect of the hair ornament itself is "does not cancel the effect of the attached jewelry", which is similar to the effect of <>, and the effects that cancel each other, such as anti-attributes, are reflected as they are. With , the damage from fire attribute is halved, and damage effects from climate such as scorching heat and terrain such as lava are also nullified, so the risk of being damaged by fire has been reduced dramatically. To top it all off, I strengthened my own ring of intelligence +6 and ring of power +6. My left pinky finger is free, but I gave it up because the effect of ordinary ability-enhancing rings seems to be canceled if you put three rings on it. It is good that I can hide it, but now I am wearing 5 rings. Is it possible to get a ring of chrome hearts or something in the same line? The cane has a great balance of length, thickness of the handle and weight, which I like. One is the cane with the head of Christina''s ruby that I gave her, which strengthens the fire attribute and magical attack, and the other is the cane with the head of aquamarine, which strengthens the water attribute and intelligence. The aquamarine was obtained by selling the two rubies I had given him, and Julius apologized for his selfishness, but I told him not to worry about it, since I would rather have a wand with different attributes than one with the same attributes. I would like to equip three lightning wands one of these days, and drop some range magic with a charge, but I''m still in the process of leveling up all of the wands. I have already given him the black opal and other gems from the labyrinth and the oak branch from the place where my island will be, and have already asked him for a new staff. This was fine with me, as I had a clear bill, but Garganos refused to accept the payment, saying, "I''ve done a great job for my eyes and for the craftsman. I had no choice but to leave some gems that could be used for production along with the sake. I''ll have to think of something later. Ruba was working on the second sword and could hardly talk, so I left some snacks on his desk. > He finishes equipping and summons White, asking for his opinion on how it looks. > I was gobbled up. He transfers to the arena with White on his shoulder. When I tell him that we are going to the arena, he declares that he will disappear except for me. I check my equipment and join the clan conversation. Why are there only three people in the room besides me? The time is a quarter of an hour before the start of the tournament and I am able to return home in time to participate from the beginning without using my seeding right. Since I have already entered the tournament, all I need to do is to be in the arena and the final confirmation window will open when the draw is made. Homura: Good evening! Ochazuke: Good evening Peter: Good evening. Shin: Oh! Homura: Where are Leo and Kikuhime? Shin: Both of them went to the bathroom before we started. Homura: I see. There were several arena attendants in the room with the transfer plates and they were captured. We were greeted as if we were standing on a plank of wood and brought to a private room, or rather a box seat. It seems that the S rank and above are treated as special guests, and the passage to this room was separated from the general guests. We had tickets for the general seats, which were numbered consecutively with those of Peter and the others, but we gave up the idea of joining the general seats early because of the sheer number of people in the general seats and the aisles seen from the box seats. Just as I took my seat, the drum roll to start the convention started. Homura: I don''t think I''ll be able to join you now. Ochazuke: Yeah, we had a hard time getting to our seats even though we came a little early. Peter: If we had been standing, we would have been crushed. Shin: But if we couldn''t get to our seats, it looked like it would be hard to watch the lobby. Homura: The seats themselves were prepared because I had given my rank to the organizers through pre-registration, so there was no problem. Kikuhime: I''m back! Homura: Welcome back. Ochazuke: Okaoka Chrysanthemum Princess: Welcome back, Homura! Homura: So, it looks like the seats that have been reserved can fit a full party. Peter: I can''t w Ochazuke: I can''t move from my seat anymore. Homura: It''s a pity, because it''s quite comfortable. I''ve been rejected. The box seats are quite spacious, and I can''t help but smell a bit of a bachelor here. Well, as I''ve already changed my clothes and put on my mask, I think it''s better not to be with you so that I don''t cause you any trouble. But the chairs are big, with ottomans to put your feet up, with side tables that can be moved forward, and black plates on the side tables that bring up menu windows when you touch them. ...... Anyway, cold hand towels and iced tea, Ordered french fries. At the bottom of the potted seating area, in the middle of the competition floor, the prince of the land begins his address. As soon as he begins, a close-up of the prince appears in a huge window above the floor. The competition will be shown on this big screen. I notice that the same image is also shown in the window from which I have just selected the menu. The screen switches back to the menu. > I quickly serve myself a cup of apple tea. Cute guy. I take White back in my lap and place the tea on the side table so that he can drink it easily. He has a nice coat today. He''s so soft and fluffy. I put my hand in the base of his paw from behind to support him as he stretches himself on the table, so that I can enjoy his soft and fluffy fur even more than in other places. You can choose between cold and hot hand towels, and there is a wide selection of drinks from wine to those with names you have never heard of, and even people are on the menu. What is it with the race, s*x, skin color, hair color, breast size, age, and outfit? Hey, the box seats here have no glass in front of them to begin with, and the air conditioning is working, though I don''t know how they do it. Ah, but a massage is nice, a massage. It''s right after work. No, but this is an arena where until recently there was a trap for 18 year olds, let''s stop. I''m tempted to play harem with five or six beautiful women, but I''m too timid to do it. While I was commenting on the menu to myself, Prince Fagat''s opening speech for the tournament was over. It seems that he was the king who opened the whole tournament a few days ago. The battles with the demons, the stages of restraints with handicaps, and the performances of the masters have been finished by yesterday. Today, there will be two types of competitions: individual and party competitions. Homura: By the way, what was Shin''s result? Shin: Lost in the third round~! Peter: Gilweitzer W., winner of the fist division Shin: I hit him in the third round and lost! Homura: That''s too bad. Ochazuke: The fencer''s final was quite a spectacle! Kikuhime: The swordsman and the sorcerer were won by the residents. Ochazuke: In the battle of recovery, the White Rabbit''s beastman was a mace master. Peter: The challenge of the dragon ring was to avoid monsters and heal their allies. Ochazuke: I can only be puzzled if the Holy King is a mace warrioress in terms of his profession. Kikuhime: It was interesting to see a shield player in the fist fighter''s division for some reason. Leo: Thank you so much! Homura: Welcome back! Shin: Oh, you feel better now. Kikuhime: welcome back! Peter: Oka! Ochazuke: Welcome back! I''ll put in a congratulatory message to Gilweitzer later. After the prince, the facilitator explains the competition window, or rather how to bet from the window, and the screen changes from showing the odds of betting to a screen confirming participation in the competition. The player who chooses "Individual" or "Party" is automatically assigned to one participant. After that, the lottery for block division begins if the player chooses "Yes". The competition is about to start, despite a few unforeseen circumstances. < <<< hmm? >> I shouldn''t have thought of it while I was thinking of the cute white paw paw screen touch ....... I was not allowed to think that I had a cute little white paw print. <<> I will be competing in the overall party competition as a soloist. 124 - - The First Battle of the Stadium I''m looking at the results of the lottery now, stunned. White has registered for the tournament, and there are enough blocks to scroll through just for the party matches, and although some adjustments have been made, it looks like there will be 20 pairs per block, and the first round will be played simultaneously, ignoring the capacity of the arena. This is the convenience of the game. This is the first time to participate in a tournament and many gentiles (players) are just trying out the game. If we had to play the games according to the capacity of the actual arena, we would not be able to finish it even if we had a week. If you raise your arena rank to S in advance, you can join in the middle of the games, and to my horror, as a SSS holder, I can break into the finals with <>. SS will get you seeded in the semi-finals, S in the quarter-finals. SS: Seeded for the semi-finals, S: Seeded for the quarter-finals. Apart from the royalty''s seats, there are four large box seats here, five including my place, and even from a distance, I can see that they are evenly spaced among the tiered seats in a mortar shape. There is a smaller box seat next to the box seat, and a smaller one next to it. Probably SS-rank and S-rank seats. There is a block of seats in between, which is not a private room, but has enough room for A ranks. It seems that the participants are all happy and sad to have been assigned to a block, and the noise is even louder than before. The menu on the side table turns down the sound from the outside by 40%. The side table menu is more user-friendly and has a more arena-specific interface than the regular menu. I decided to participate from the first round, and my block is 52. I check my block while squeezing the white paw that has been chewed. Summoned beasts and pets are treated as if they were on the field in a party game. In solo fights, summoners and trainers are also present, so each summoner and trainer can summon one pet per fight. The summoner and the trainer can switch the summoner and the trainer only once, in which case the second summoner and the trainer will be summoned with half of their status. Since both summons and pets can be summoned, is a gentile (player) who has both summoner and trainer at his/her disposal at an advantage?¡¡However, it is a delicate point because there are many people like me who have summoned beasts and pets even if they are not in the same profession - their main profession seems to be labeled as a follower. I will have to learn the rules of the arena, or I will be in a hurry one day. While I was waiting, I was enjoying the white fur as much as I could, when there was a knock at the door. "Mr. Lengard, SS-ranked Master Horus and Master Babel wish to see you. The visitor is announced from the other side of the door, which is still closed. "Come in." What is it?¡¡We''re gonna win this time!¡¡A pre-match greeting? "[Sword Emperor] Lengard-sama!¡¡Long time no see. "Long time no see, Mr. Lengard." As if in anticipation, a beautiful woman with large limbs, not milk, not chocolate-colored, healthy tits, and a beautiful woman with porcelain white skin and sleepy eyes wearing a loose-fitting robe entered the room. Who is it? "My Lord Lengard, my breasts are as big as Babel''s, aren''t they?¡¡It''s a skinny body. A beautiful woman smiles and makes a gesture to peel off her robe. "What do you say, Horus!¡¡I was the first one to catch your eye!¡¡Mr. Lengard, please feel free to take this breast." A beautiful woman comes at you with her hand on your chest as if she is going to slap you. Hey, ......! > White''s gaze hurts. "Who are you?" With that much exposure and bine-bine breasts, you''d expect ten out of ten people to see them, right?¡¡You see ......, right?¡¡What is this shame play? I turned to the usher in a cold sweat, and he smiled at me and told me. "As I mentioned earlier, this is SS-ranked Master Horus and Master Babel. These are the [knights of the emperor] who will be substituting for Mr. Lengard when he is not participating in the tournament. After his defeat by Lengard, he had a rough time, but with the persuasion of those around him, he is now a [knight of the emperor] who is devoted to Lengard. The reason for the slight change in his appearance is that he has used the gender-changing jade himself. Go to ....... What then?¡¡Are these two beautiful women that (...) Babel and Horus?¡¡The result of a big guy who looks like he''s about to laugh and a thin guy who looks like he''s about to laugh sarcastically? The clothes are like a swimsuit that exposes a straight line from the cleavage to the belly button. One in a cloak and cape, the other in a large hooded robe and slender shoulders. That''s more than a little strange. £¡£¡£¡£¡£¡£¡ And by the way, don''t you look younger!¡¡Youthful! "I serve Master Lengard with all my heart and soul. From head to toe, this body is at your disposal." I will serve you with all my heart. I will serve you in any way. They kneel together. Go home. White says in disgust. I reject even a beautiful woman. How did it come to this? The usher brilliantly shooed them out of the door. Strong guide. "If you''re going to call him the knight of the emperor, I think he should have been a man, but why did you do it? I suppose it''s inevitable that I''m a little distant. >. "I''m sorry. I tried to persuade the arena officials to be loyal to the emperor, but I think I went too far." Hey, didn''t you just say brainwashing?¡¡I''m afraid of the sales smiley face of the information desk. "Rest assured, no one is allowed in this private room without permission." The usher also left after saying that, but I am now filled with anxiety about the assault. Not only those two, but the usher!¡¡I shudder at the thought of being punished in the arena with a gender change and an 18-year-old punishment for misbehaving in the arena. I wonder if this chair will come with any restraints... I''m exhausted before the battle. Peter: Homura, where is the block? Ochazuke: I can''t find it! Sin: Homura registration, Lengard?¡¡Is it still in Homra? Leo: I don''t see either!¡¡We''re all splitting up the block! Peter: There are no names on either side of the block, so you''ll have to win to win. Ah, the comfort of normal business as usual clan conversation. Joining them in the individual competition are Peter, Shin, and Leo. When we parted last night, I gave the three of them various medicines for the tournament, and Peter has just in time to put a on his designated item. Shin and Leo are anxious to use the prize money and items for the clan house, even if they don''t win any prizes. Homura: Registered with Lengard. He is soloing in a party match with 52 blocks. Shin: Boo hoo! Leo: wahahahahahaha! Kikuhime: As expected. Ochazuke: terrible! Peter: I have good equipment and my level is high, so I might be able to make it depending on the matching. Shin: Since we''re here, let''s make a spectacular appearance. Homura: Don''t be reckless! Kikuhime: I''m going to try to appear with a on my head. Ochazuke: It''s not flashy, but it''s going to cause a stir. Peter: It''s a bit dumb to play it after you appear. Ochazuke: You can do it without a pause. Any kind of medicine or magic can be cast in advance, but it will be canceled out. So I quietly put on my <. Shin: Let''s do our best! Leo: Oh! Homura: Yeah, let''s do our best. We will start the first match. Just as an announcement is made, a shimmering tube of light appears surrounding you (Sankasha). You are given sixty seconds to check, and if there is no problem, you may choose to go out before the time expires. If you have also chosen a matching partner, the match will start before the 60 seconds have elapsed. Equipment is ready. > Let the games begin! Lengard vs Caribbean. ¡óReady ¡óGo! As soon as we are transferred to the 40-meter square raised cobblestone pavement, a message and an announcement are made. From a quick glance, it seems that my opponent has an average party composition of shield, gladiator, warrior, wizard, healer, and archer. Their levels are 31 and 32, more than 5 levels lower than mine. "Lenguard! "I thought it was a fake name, but it looks real!" "You''re right, it''s not production, it''s wizardry! "[I can''t] appraise it!" What do you mean, "real"? While I''m wondering, white runs through. Oh. We''re all paralyzed. White came back with a look of pride on his face, and I wondered if it was OK, but then I used my lightning magic on the six of them who were recoiling in astonishment with my newly-learned << Spear of the God of Thunder> x3. It''s a single attack magic, but with [range magic], I can strike them all at once, and since White has paralyzed them before they can spread out, I''m in range with plenty of time to spare. By the way, this magic doubles the damage if you are hit by it while you are in a state of abnormality, which goes well with White. Lengard WIN! With an announcement, I was enveloped in another white tube of light and returned to my seat. There was no afterglow, but that might not be a bad thing since there were so many games. The buzz in the audience was getting louder, as if they were cheering for their friends and acquaintances. > Maybe they can''t see White. Unless he has some kind of skill to see through concealment, such as [Eye] or [Ganbaru]. As soon as the game starts, he will be in a state of "paralysis" without knowing why, and it would be a horror if he doesn''t show himself at least. > . White froze for a moment. I stroke the back of White''s ears while he is frozen. I am deeply moved by the fact that he sits on my lap and lets me pet him even though he doesn''t like humans. Sometimes he bites me. White, back from the freeze, says. > <> White, don''t give me that look of disgust again. > I turn my face away when I''m told. I think I was told that. However, I have not looked at the details even though I have done the appraisal, because I have been doing the work to raise the level of [appraisal]. What? Peter, I thought you said 35. Ochazuke: Homura, is the game over? Homura: It''s over! Ochazuke: It''s a registered Lenguard, right? Homura: Yeah? Ochazuke: In this short time, the actual situation board is in chaos! Hm? 125 - - The Second Battle of the Stadium Ochazuke tells me to open the menu with the intention of looking at the bulletin board. Oh, I thought I could watch any game in the window. In the huge window in the upper center of the screen, a match is shown randomly for about five seconds, and then changes. It is also possible to display a match selected in your window in the giant window. The rest of the viewers will be watching the other video. You search for the block you were told about, wondering what happened to Peter and the others. A white circle appears above Peter''s name, and the match seems to be over, since the image does not appear even if he selects it. Peter must have won, because his opponent''s name is grayed out, and in the meantime, Peter himself returns home. Peter: I''m home. I won! Homura: Welcome back, congratulations. Ochazuke: Congratulations! Chrysanthemum Princess: Congratulations, sir! Peter: It''s advantageous to be fast, though I''m sure they''ll take countermeasures soon. Homura: I guess they''ll take countermeasures, that''s a problem. Ochazuke: I don''t think Homura''s is a problem or anything ...... Peter: by the way, Homura is a party fight and it''s already over? Chrysanthemum Princess: It was terrible. Homura: The state abnormality + abnormality medium damage increasing magic combo killed him instantly. Ochazuke: Was that kind of magic? Homura: Yeah. Wind, lightning, and light magic is fast and convenient. Kikuhime: Can''t you at least say your name? Homura: Identify yourself? Kikuhime: Shin and Leo did it, didn''t they? Homura: Yah, yah, yah, he who is far off, hear the sound and see the sight. Peter: Sir, that''s a victory name. Ochazuke: Play to say your name after you win. ...... was that the name of the winner? Peter: Was it the Tale of the Heike?¡¡It seems to have already become an idiom, so is it okay? Chrysanthemum Princess: At least say your name and pause before you start fighting! Ochazuke: My poor opponent who won''t even let me talk. Homura: No, if you pause, they might attack you and you might lose. Peter: Not at all. The motto of a ninja is to be quiet and quick. Ochazuke: I''m getting confused! Chrysanthemum Princess: Oh, Shin is going to win, isn''t he? He hurriedly selects a block from the menu, looks up Shin''s name, and displays the match in the window. Shin is about to win with a combo against a heavy fighter, just as Kikuhime had said. Punching metal armor looks more painful to hit ...... Homura: Shin''s weapon, is that a fire polyp? It doesn''t seem to hurt at all when he hits me. Kikuhime: Yes, he was shouting in the individual battles with that equipment, wasn''t he? Peter: "I am Shin, the Beast of Fast Town!¡¡I stand here to conquer my enemies!" Perhaps Peter is tracing Shin''s speech in a personal battle. Did he say this while wearing a boxing glove that looks more like a rounded boxing glove, like a reddish red bean paste of a water bun? Funny, I told him he could change his appearance if he didn''t like the way it looked. I guess he liked it as a joke weapon. It''s too bad, because the character looks so nice, but it''s just too awkward. It seems to make onomatopoeic sounds when you hit it. Kikuhime: That weapon looks like that, but it''s strong, isn''t it? Ochazuke: We really only have firepower! Peter: The durability. Kikuhime: You are paper armored! Homura: That looks painful. As we speak, Shin is in the midst of a major H! As we have said, Shin wins with much less H! By the way, the players in the game can''t see the opponent''s H! The window shows a gauge, not a numerical value. It is said that this is so that spectators can be thrilled even if they do not understand the tactics of the game. The operation of the arena is based on betting. That''s it, when I found out that there was a bet, Ochazuke and Peter said they would bet on me, and the other three bet on me. Thank you for your congratulatory bid. The odds are high, but it seems that there are a few others who have placed their bets on me, perhaps because they feel sorry for my participation in the solo race. And solo, I was not the only one!¡¡Whether they made the wrong choice or they are confident is a mystery, but it seems that there are some of them. The party with the lowest odds is the Flame King''s party, but it is split in popularity with Roy''s party. It is not surprising since their names are often mentioned in the announcement of the strategy. In both the party and the individual competitions, there are various types of competitions, such as the one in which the winner is only guessed, the one in which the winner and the runner-up are correctly guessed, and the one in which the two remaining pairs in the final are guessed, even if the winner and the runner-up are interchanged. In the individual competitions, there is even one in which the winner''s occupation is guessed. I also bought a pair of "Retsubi(Flame King)-(and)Kronos(Roy)", so I wish them good luck. Akira was among the soloists, but his name is already grayed out. I wanted to refer to the solo and party fights, but he was not there when I noticed it. If I had noticed earlier, I could have seen him, but I guess it would have been helpful if I had lost. It seemed that many residents were participating, but unfortunately I couldn''t tell which party was the resident from the list of names. Shin: I''m back! Peter: Good job! Kikuhime: Congratulations, sir! Homura: Congratulations! Ochazuke: Otsu, is your equipment ok? Do you want me to fix it? Shin: I''ve been hit pretty hard, please! Ochazuke: If it''s out of my range, you''ll have to pay to fix it from the menu. Ah, being by your side allows you to do that. I miss you too. Shin is supposed to be a blacksmith too, but he seems to do very little production and often asks Ochazuke and Kikuhime to repair his equipment. My regular equipment is also in Kikuhime''s care. . < I get lonely and spoil White. When I gently touch him while he is engrossed in eating, the hairs on the back of his neck stand up a little and flutter, whether it is a reflex or unconsciously. It looks annoyed, but it is a white, fluffy white that does not stop eating. It''s a little soothing. Shin: Homura, you''re fast! Homura: I won. Kikuhime: I saw an instant kill. Ochazuke: I saw unreasonableness. Peter: Awww! Homura: That''s terrible! Shin: Oh, my goodness?¡¡What happened to Leo? Ochazuke: Oops, let''s see what happened. Homura: How many blocks? Peter: 33, number 8 from the top. Homura: Thank you. Operate the window to switch images. As soon as he switches the image, Leo flies out of the field with a nice smile on his face. Ochazuke: What happened? Peter: It looks as if he flew out of the scene by himself rather than being blown away by the enemy. ......w Shin: I feel like I saw a confident own goal. Kikuhime: As usual, I don''t understand. Homura: Leo, you take your eyes off the ball for a moment, and when you look back on it, it''s a shocking scene. Leo: Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah! Kikuhime: Welcome back. Shin: Welcome back. Peter: Otsuwww! Ochazuke: Brilliant out of place Homura: That was a showy one, good job. After Leo''s return, the group chats with Roy and the other members, peeking at the Flame King''s game. Peter seems to be seriously gathering information on his next opponent. In the meantime, the second round of matches has been arranged, and the games start all over again. Ochazuke: Mr. Homura, let''s try something we haven''t seen before. Chrysanthemum Princess: I''m going to provide entertainment in the form of a topic of conversation! Homura: Don''t be reckless! Leo: Wahahahaha! We will now begin the second match. Finally, a tube of white light appears and shuts off the outside world. > <> If you choose "O.K." before the countdown of the matching time, you will be put on the stage of the match. Lengard vs. ¡óReady¡ó ¡óGo! ¡óAt the signal to start, White runs out of the room, and the afterimage seems to be visible. In this game, White''s effect is "confusion". All of the players are equipped with silver-colored equipment, and the party seems to be a little obsessed with knights, knights, holy priests, holy priests, spirit priests, and wizards. A knight tries to step into the party and turns to the direction of the day after tomorrow. The sorcerer somehow casts a power grant on himself, and the magician casts a spell on the sorcerer, who is standing diagonally in front of him at 45 degrees from the direction his wand was pointing. One of them is left alone in his senses, and he is trying very hard to <> on his companions. When Galahad was confused, he was healed immediately, and this may be the first time he has seen him calmly in a confused state. "[Feng shui] <" I don''t know if this will be an attack or not, but I''ll try to fulfill Ochazuke''s request. Feng shui] changes the terrain, and extreme terrains can be damaged by it. It is said to be a skill to find water veins and create springs, to make forests grow, to make it rain, and to adjust nature slowly so that its chi will not be distorted. Ki can also be replaced by spirit. < does not have any particular meaning, it is just an allusion to the name of the other party. The convenient thing about Feng Shui''s terrain effect is that even if it is cured, it will be applied again immediately if you are surrounded by the terrain climate that is the cause of the effect. "Aaahhh!" "And it won''t stop!" "Aah!" "Don''t, don''t, don''t, don''t, don''t!" That''s it! It slides down the ice surface like a funny thing. Just as he recovered from his confusion and took a giant step toward us again. He slides down the ice surface at an even faster pace with another knight by his side. or is a sign of or . Of course I am on the icy stage, but since I am floating with my <>, I have no problem. Though I will not slip when I have my feet on the ground, since I have the [carry]. Oh, one person fell. . <<>. Indeed, there is something melancholy about the sight of a knight slipping down on all fours, screaming, and falling off the stage. It can''t be helped, it''s a samurai''s mercy. "<>" x 3. I''ve been working with lightning to improve my skills for the tournament, so my ice skill level is up to 34, but the magic I learned at level 30 is <>, which targets a single enemy, trapping it in snow and preventing it from taking action, and M! The magic learned at level 30 is <>, which traps an enemy in snow and inhibits its action. It is not suitable for the current situation. As in the first round, the choice here should be ranged magic. Ice statues are made. But, however, the figure is in the process of sliding. The funny ice sculpture cracks and shatters. Lengard WIN! I now know that magic that works well with terrain and climate effects has stronger attack power and effects. 126 - - 124. After the 3rd Battle of the Stadium~ Homura: I''m home! Kikuhime: Welcome back, Dosu-sama! Ochazuke: Welcome back, Dosu-sama! Leo: Congratulations, Dos! Wahahaha! Homura: Bust! Homura: You''re a bad listener! Chrysanthemum Princess: Oh, Shin looks in pain! Ochazuke: Let''s see. Homura: Through and through! I came back after winning the second round and this is what I got. Terrible. <> Even White went through with it! I serve tea as you said, while I play around with the white. You ...... have a nice touch! The hair on the belly is soft and the belly is also soft, making it stress-free and soft. The chest is fluffy with magnificent chest hairs, even the fingers can reach the body!¡¡I want to bury my face in this belly and chest someday. I was a bit torn between Peter and Shin, but Kikuhime''s words "looks like it hurts" made me mirror Shin''s game. The individual matches went a little faster than the party matches. This is because the matches between parties that focus on recovery and defense are inevitably more prolonged. Shin''s opponent seems to be a swordsman, who is stepping on the spot as if looking for an opening, while Shin is holding his sword perpendicularly on the left side of his face, and is slowly making his way to the ring with his sliding feet. As Kikuhime said, Shin''s H! is decreasing. It seems that his opponent is also decreasing, but more than Shin. They seem to be taking life-activating medicine, and their gauges are slowly recovering, but it looks as if they are in danger of being hit by each other''s painful skills. LEO: Why don''t they just take the medicine? Homura: They''re going to slash at you while you''re taking it, aren''t they? Ochazuke: It seems like they won''t let us get a good look at them! Kikuhime: But he''s recovering. Homura: Do you think they will set up before they recover? Ochazuke: The opponent is slowly recovering. Kikuhime: Is Shin recovering better? Ochazuke: H! I guess they can recover more than the magic swordsman. Homura: I''m not sure if my H! Homura: If my H! Ochazuke: If Shin recovers more than Shin, it would be bad. Homura: But that stance is not curved like a sword, and it looks like it would be hard to swing down. Peter: It''s a nice look, but the sword seems to be too tight against your body. Kikuhime: Welcome back! Leo: Welcome back! Homura: Is it over? Ochazuke: Okakaoka, how did you win? Peter: I won! Homura: Congratulations! Kikuhime: Congratulations, sir! Leo: Good for you! Ochazuke: Good job! Peter: Thank you, W. The swordsman shouts something - probably the name of his skill - and closes the gap at once. Before he can close the gap, a lightning bolt follows the sword and reaches Shin. The sword is swung at Shin at once, and the lightning reaches him. gauge is depleted. Homura: Whoa, what is it? Peter: Homura, that''s what you call a magic swordsman, isn''t it? Ochazuke: Swordsman beginning?¡¡A very, very ordinary magical swordsman. Chrysanthemum Princess: Lightning is rare, but common! Leo: I want at least a voice for the name of the technique! Homura: That''s the magic swordsman ...... Ochazuke: You are not like some magic de swordsman! Homura: I feel like I''m being dissed! Peter: It''s faster than normal magic, so it''s hard to avoid. Chrysanthemum Princess: If you start out as a swordsman, you will be able to use the M! I can''t use a lot of it because I don''t have enough M! Leo: Bari-bari! Kikuhime: Hey, Leo, you''re spilling it! At any rate, that one seems to be the standard magic swordsman. While I''m wandering around here and there solo, everyone else is making good progress, but I seem to be missing something. Ideally, a magic swordsman should use both sword and magic to inflict damage, but it seems to be possible to hit only with magic, as Shin''s opponent just did. It is faster than activating magic normally. Wind, Lightning, and Light are not so fast, but there is a little lag between the activation of the magic and the appearance of the effect and the landing of the hit. It is possible to get close to the sword and cast a 0-distance unarmed spell, but it is faster to cast a spell that is already in the sword if the distance is the same. However, the power of the magic itself is said to be reduced. I''d like to try it out by using enchantments and seriously applying my magic swordsman skills. I don''t have skill points though! What is Leo eating, anyway? Oatmeal: M! I think I''ll have to think about distribution and either put on weak magic all the time to raise the normal damage or combine strong magic and skills like he does now and use it as a special move. Homura: Mage Beginning is (M!?) in that respect. Don''t worry about it. Peter: Starting mages usually have low AGI (too slow) and are fatal to melee attackers. Ochazuke: If you''re a fixed gunner, you''re just a wizard as it is. Kikuhime: If you become a magic swordsman and then level up more and more, won''t your status slacken? Ochazuke: I think it''s hard because it doesn''t go up after 30. Peter: Well, if you don''t give up, you''ll be a great success.¡¡Most of them give up and go back to being wizards. Ochazuke: It seems that many people are wary of long-range physics, so they just take a small shield and go back. Leo: Bari Bari Bari Paririri Peter: But still, that would have been a decisive decision if you had hit him with the sword as well as the magic! Ochazuke: He''s fighting back now, but he just lost his combo, and I''m not sure if Shin will be able to do the same. Shin is now counterattacking, not missing the opportunity created by the use of the magic sword, or rather, by swinging off the tip of the sword, which is out of reach. In other words, he gave up on hitting the magic sword and went straight into it, and the few remaining dangers of the H! The correct answer is that he gave up on hitting the magic and went straight into it, connecting the attack with only a few remaining dangerous H! The effect of the wind that seems to rise up around Shin''s body gets bigger and darker as he connects four, five, and more combos. In the past, only 3 combos were possible! But he has increased the number of techniques that he can use, and he has also increased the number of E! He seems to be researching how to increase his firepower now that he has learned the combo of recovering the gauge. She slips past her opponent''s attacks after she has regained her stance by combining an evasion combo. Chrysanthemum Princess: I think I can do it! Peter: Oh! Leo: YEAK!!!!!!! Phoenix Flame Fist] that can be activated after the 10th combo of Makenshi Shin. Flames burst from his fist and flutter in the air, wrapping around his arm like a tail. When the fist is slammed into the fencer''s dove tail, a flaming effect is produced, and before the effect disappears, the fencer turns into a particle of light and disappears. Shin wins the game by landing his attack exactly on time. Shin: Yay!¡¡My fire polyp is on fire! Ochazuke: Oomeyomeyome! Kikuhime: You were so cool. Just now. LEO: Good job! That was a last minute comeback! Homura: Congratulations! The big move from the slip-through was cool. Peter: Congratulations! Shin: Hehe, I knew my opponent couldn''t use his next move after he used a big move, so I was lucky to be able to match him. Ochazuke: At any rate, congratulations to all three of you for making it through to the second round! Shin: Oh, you guys won too!¡¡Congratulations! Peter: There''s a "W" in there. Homura: Thank you. The group plays a few games, chatting in between. The number of matches is quite large due to the large number of participants, and the waiting time is long. During the game, I chose < for [feng shui], and it turned out to be quite a hellscape, but I decided not to worry about it. But I don''t care about that. It is lonely to be alone in the box seat (here). Leo: Akita! Peter: It''s a long wait. I can enjoy the games of people I know. Homura: I''m not interested in people I don''t know. Shin: I want a training ground! Ochazuke: You guys are always doing things like killing in the blink of an eye, or letting the flesh cut off the bones, and the game time is too short! Shin: When the opponent has recovery, it''s too slow! Homura: There''s already a gap of one round between the party game (this one) and the individual game (that one). Kikuhime: It''s in the card game arena menu. Leo: I do! That''s it, there were quite a few board games, card games, etc. What are you guys doing here? You might say. Here, too, the game is thoroughly played for shills. If you win a series of games, you receive not only your opponent''s wager but also a small item provided by the arena, and the arena pays you 5% of your total wager for each game. The games that can be selected from the arena menu can be played in the arena from a distance as if they were online games, but there is also a casino attached to the arena, which has a room dedicated to card and board games, where you can play them face-to-face. As well as the spectator seats, you can also kill time in the casino, as you will be called out when it is your turn to play. The other members and I have agreed not to tell him until he realizes it. Well, even in a normal game, the management will do whatever it takes to recover the money that the player has, Peter says. It''s a harsh world, but it''s a good thing that in this world the money is used for infrastructures and so on. Thanks to this, taxes on ordinary Fagats are supposed to be low!¡¡...... Adventurers also have to pay taxes when they settle down, it''s a hard world. And so to the quarterfinals, Peter is still left as an individual. Unfortunately, Shin got burned out by the magic swordsman and lost the next match. The magic swordsman seemed to be stronger than Shin, but I guess it''s just a matter of chemistry. The groups I''m in are: Black Lily with a party I don''t know, Kronos with Roy''s party, and Fire King with a party I don''t know. Homura: I was betting on Roy and the Flame King! Peter: In the quarterfinals, we don''t go up in the same block, and the pairings are drawn again. Ochazuke: You should have bet on yourself. Homura: Such a barren . Besides, it''s no fun to bet on a one-sided match. Kikuhime: You were aware that it was one-sided. Homura: I thought it was a little strange. Shin: A little bit? Homura: When I look at people like Shin, I feel like I''m relying on my equipment and skills. I don''t think in the real world that the price of effort leads to strength, which is noble but always rewarding, but here it is quite rewarding. I''d like to spend a little more time training with Cal, Shin makes me feel that hard work is not so bad. The results of the training have not been utilized at all so far, or rather, they have not come into play yet. Peter: Homura is also doing things like slaying 500 animals and holding one-man bullfighting contests, isn''t he? Homura: It''s a hobby. Leo: Awww! Chrysanthemum Princess: You have terrible taste! Ochazuke: I remember that Homura was a hamster who liked to twirl. Shin: I''d rather actually go out there and fight than try to figure out a strategy! Basically, I only do what I want to do. Just like a hamster spinning a wheel, if there are enemies, you want to beat them, and if there is a dungeon, you have to keep diving until you find the item you are looking for! In my case, items are not rare, and I have been beating the same boss for a long time to get items that were already sold at a low price because I had "never picked them up before. To be more specific, I spent five days in the same room because I wanted to get a <> in a game I used to play. My friend gave me the cushion, but I didn''t want it!¡¡and threw it back. I mean, it took five of them to fill up my room with <. In return, I gave them a rare drop of the boss''s head ornament and put it at the entrance of each room. I remember that the heads were sold at a high price, but they were terrorized and sent to the rooms of my friends. But in the end, there were ten of them and they were all gathered in Ochazuke''s room. I was thinking about this when the time came for the match. Oh, am I missing the match between Roy and the Flame King?¡¡I think as I am transferred to the stage, enveloped in the familiar white light. Lengard vs. ¡óReady The first time I saw a man who was not a member of the club, I thought to myself, "What the hell is this? Feng Shui" Without confirming the opponent, I did a few tricks as soon as the game started. Since there is no White, I have to do it myself. "Oops!¡¡It''s so dull!" A swordsman with a large shield and pale green hair shouts, "Pale is the color, not the top of your head. "I''m lucky." A loli wizard holding a wand in a hand half-hidden in a long sleeve. "The limits of N!? A masculine loli martial artist with orange hair and a masculine way of speaking, what is N!?C? "Careful, this one will take your foot off the gas!" A bandit with cat ears and long black hair with only the ends curled loosely. Two others were mute, a blonde-haired Elflora, a big-breasted priest, and a pink-haired wizard. The priest is preparing a recovery spell even though he hasn''t been hit yet. This party is full of Lolita, and which one of them is Amaterasu? "Speed is priority, soooo!¡¡<" He chants spells in a lisping manner and unleashes his initial magic. Since more than ten fire needles appear, it is likely that he can use high-level [fire magic]. "What!" "Even though it''s a Needle, I''m putting Marin''s INT on it. ...... "No damage? "Disabled!" As soon as I heard "Fire Needle," I had no intention of avoiding it. I am more resistant to fire than I was when I played with Horus, equipped with and . It is not good to shout out the name of the skill. Once you get used to imagining the name of the skill, you should make it a habit to invoke it silently when you are soloing. On the other hand, in a party, it will be inconvenient if you don''t know each other''s actions, so you should try to say the names of your skills even if they are not necessary. And for now, speed is more important than avoidance. I immediately and silently invoke [Lightning Magic] < x3. <, but it is too deep. Feng Shui has , but it is also too deep. It is too deep to reach. Ice is a poor conductor. < is just right. The spear of the god of thunder descends from the sky, pierces through the opponent, and goes straight to the floor where the puddle is. The water struck by the lightning returns the lightning once more to the one immersed in the water. Damage is doubled!¡¡Something like that. I had expected more damage, but I did not expect the tingling electric current running on the surface of the water and the lightning bolts shooting sideways between people. Lengard WIN! Sorry, I want to see Roy vs. the Flame King. 127 - - The Battleground Chronos vs. Fier After returning from the game, he quickly navigates through the menu and watches Peter''s game. Since Peter''s game is usually either a speed-oriented fast attack or a strong poison and dodging around, I will check which is going on before watching the game between Roy and the Flame Kings. I can split the screen into four parts and show the match separately in the huge window above the arena and in the window at hand, but I don''t think I can be dexterous enough to focus my attention on both. Peter is wearing a hood. Peter is wearing a hood, not the Sojuro hood, commonly known as the squid hood, but the Okoso hood, which is rounded in the shape of a head. The original shape of the squid hood is more complicated, but the Okoso hood can be made of a wider cloth if one wishes. The hood, with only the eyes peeking out, has a metal bowl on its forehead. The requested < is attached to the cloth one. I thought it would be attached to metal, but the book Peter brought, which is about the equipment for recognition inhibition, has a lot of information about how to attach it to cloth. Yes, it''s an explanation of equipment that may or may not be visible in a store full of beautiful women. ...... more useless knowledge!¡¡And the smell of a scam that shatters men''s hearts! I can usually recognize Peter''s face, just by his eyes, and I can see the name of the tournament with Peter''s registered name [Black Assassin (Peter)] in parentheses... does this mean I can go to those kinds of stores and see all I can? .... ....... Yeah, it''s a stable poison development. The opponent may have a <> or <>, but even if you heal him, he will immediately put the next poison in. Many medicines become poison themselves if they are used continuously in the middle of recasting. It is easy for a healer or a holy priest to <>, but it is a gap whether you heal by medicine or by magic. It would be troublesome if you could get a opponent like Shin, who was bitten by a viper and left in fast blimps. Peter himself said that the next time he plays this game, he will probably be able to counter it. At the moment, there are far more people who take skills directly related to damage, recovery, and defense rather than spending skill points on resistance, which is of limited use. Like Peter''s poison, Feng Shui''s terrain/environmental damage will be taken care of in no time if such elements start to appear in dungeons. As for countermeasures against skill points, obtaining resistance skill stones through the illusion route will solve the problem. There is still little terrain/environmental damage in the labyrinth, but it may appear in earnest in the future, so we should be serious about collecting skill stones. Peter''s opponents look like heavily armed warriors, but they dexterously aim at narrow areas of exposed skin, slashing shallowly and pouring poison into them. He doesn''t try too hard to hit a weak point and inflict heavy damage. Yes, sometimes he is a bit rash, but at least he is doing his job well this time. The blow is a big one, but he is much faster than Peter, and at this rate he will be able to avoid the heavy warriors even if they use their fast-attack skills. With this, he should be able to avoid the heavy fighters even if they use their fast attack skills. Homura: I''m back! Kikuhime: Welcome back, sir. Shin: Welcome back Leo: Wahaha, good morning, good morning! Ochazuke: early as ever! They greet their return and look at the window. I am looking forward to seeing how the other players will fight, since I have never had a chance to see any other players than myself and my usual group. Naturally, the game has already begun. Roy is blocking the Flame King''s attack, and the bowman is aiming at each healer. The clan [Kronos] consists of Roy, a shield warrior, Klaw, a hermit, Dawn, a fighter, Shirayuri, a holy law user, Momiji, a bandit, and Kaede, a bow user. Homura: What''s a bandit? Ochazuke: Momiji? Homura: Yes. Ochazuke: A bandit with < and attack skill <>, I guess. Homura: Throwing money at enemies instead of distributing it to poor houses. Kikuhime: That''s not a very wallet-friendly move! Shin: Even if you change jobs, you can''t use this on me and Leo! Ochazuke: The more expensive you throw, the more powerful it is, I promise. Peter: I heard that the larger the difference between you and your opponent''s sil, the greater the attack''s correction and will be automatically applied. Homura: What''s going on?¡¡You''re early. I thought it would take longer with the poison waiting pattern. Peter: H! Shin: Ew!¡¡I thought I was getting a cheap shot! Peter: A wide area with no way to avoid it is bad, we have to do something about it! Ochazuke: Endurance issues come to light Homura: Sorry, I didn''t see it because I was following the usual pattern and thought it was okay. Leo: That was fancy!¡¡I want that one!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Kikuhime: It''s too high-risk, high-return!¡¡We don''t want to use it on our side, do we? Shin: By the way, can you [appraise] an occupation from here? Ochazuke: That team has a partner card (patka), doesn''t it? I was caught off guard by the same pattern of Peter''s games, I should have seen it. I should have watched it. I guess Leo was watching, but I wonder where he really wants to go. And I''m afraid, all we have to do now is to find a place to deposit the money we have. I wonder if there is any commercial guild storage in casinos for cash withdrawals. Hey, slots and such, but betting can be done from here, right? I am relieved that I was able to deposit the money safely from the terminal in the arena. I had thought that there would be no loss of life and no dispena if I died in the arena, and had been careless. I should make a habit of depositing them frequently, or I will end up like Leo. I don''t carry around everything, but to my horror, I have more than 300 million in my pocket. Even though I set the purchase price of the attribute stones a little high. I''m afraid Momiji will kill me in an instant. I was almost killed. The clan [Retsubi] consists of a sword fighter Flame King, a shield fighter Daichi, a martial artist Gilweitzer, an archer Krull, a magician Haruna, and a saint fighter Koreto. The last two have never been in a party together, so their personalities are a mystery to me. Peter: They''re a legitimate party of each other, aren''t they? Ochazuke: I feel at ease watching. If it were as stable as this, it would be easier for me to read the recovery! Shin: It''s all in your mind. Feeling is the best! Leo: Wahaha! Chrysanthemum Princess: I guess we are a bit of a novelty. Homura: It''s a bit of a tricky party. Peter: It''s a normal composition, though two Thiefs can be either fast-attack type or abnormal type. Ochazuke: I can''t answer immediately if you ask me if they are orthodox. Klaue must have used either [wood magic] or [druidic] magic, and everyone on the Ardent Fire side grew a few light brown buds of some kind. Shin: Ugh, that''s disgusting. Peter: I wonder if it''s the of [wood magic]. H? and M? and M!? It''s a magic that sucks out the plants little by little for a certain period of time. LEO: Wow, it''s turning moldy! Shin: Peter, how do you know what magic works? Peter: There is a list of basic magic up to level 35 on the bulletin board. Homura: Something I can''t remember. Ochazuke: You have to know your homura! There are many kinds of magic, and some of them you don''t want to use in public, and some of them you don''t want to use in public. Anyway, Tascha, can you do something about the appearance of and ? I''m also trying to figure out every detail of my skills, and combine techniques that are said to be weak to win! I''d like to do something spectacular. I would like to try to do something brilliant like that, but I think I''d like to do something brilliant like that. How many H!¡¡Instead, they play chess or tsume shogi (Japanese chess game), where they are sure to finish the enemy a few moves ahead, like a quiet erosion. The wizard of the Flame King is Haruna, whose appearance is a mystery. She wears a robe hooded so deeply that we cannot see her face. She is completely fixed-arms and chantless. She is not the same as my skill of [no chanting], however, but rather she has a number of windows around her and operates them with panels. A book is open and floating in front of me, but each time I operate it, the pages turn over and, perhaps in place of chanting a spell, magical letters appear in the air and pop up at the same time as they are activated. The fingering is like playing an electronic organ. It seems that the player is combining a number of spells that can be activated quickly, avoiding high level spells with long chanting times. He can even fire one more shot after avoiding the spell. He is also a very versatile player. Homura: A wizard of the Flame King''s place. Is his weapon a book? Shin: Looks like he''s doing some programming. Kikuhime: He''s strong. But only if your shield can protect you. Peter: You want to use high-damage magic, but the archers are always stopping each other, so you can only use fast-acting magic. But both of them seem to have W-skills in terms of number of moves. LEO: Gilweitzer and Momiji are so uneven! Ochazuke: It''s a party fight, but the leader seems to be solo. They are fighting with passion and fervor, even to the casual observer, in the state of Flame King vs. Roy. As for Kronos, his shield is out of action, so he is using Dawn and Crow to block the attack. However, while they seem to be on the defensive, Clau sometimes interrupts with his abnormal magic, which is steadily cutting down on the whole group. Shin: Ah, Gil, you''re so good, you never run out of combos! Peter: Dawn is a bit difficult to position herself because she has to protect Kurau and Shirayuri. Leo: Sword fights are flashy!¡¡The rest are sober! Ochazuke: Two brains and others with brains Peter: You can tell which type you are by the way you feel. Homura: I felt that I was flashy & brainy, and I was neutral. Kikuhime: Homura: You think and prepare, then change your mind at the last minute and use brute force. Shin: I know w Homura: Something awful but undeniable. Peter: Oh! Shin: Oh, new technique!¡¡I''ve never seen that before! Gilweitzer unleashed a big move with flashy effects with Dawn in front, Clough and Shirayuri behind her. The change of direction came after he had been consistently fighting against Momiji. Moreover, although it was not a "self-destruct" as mentioned earlier, it was a big move with a flashy effect. In no time at all, he was a prey of Momiji, who was now free. However, at the same time, Clow and Shirayuri are sunk by Krull and Haruna. Ochazuke: This is over! Peter: You''ve lost your balance. As they said, the victory of [Retsubi] was confirmed soon after this. Yes, the Flame King is being lectured on stage by the remaining party members, but does this mean that Roy is having the same experience in the waiting room? In the semifinals, it will be Black Lily [Kuroyuri Hime], Flame King [Retsubi], myself, and one of the seeded players. They must be strong enough to have the seeding right, but who are they?¡¡I wonder if it''s just a group of people living together, I''d hate it if it''s the previous winner or something. From the gossip I heard at the inn, it sounds like he is retired. . <> White sniffs at the matchup list. . Absurdity of being bitten by shy White. It''s not a serious bite, and it''s cute, so it''s okay. In the huge window above the arena, the match-up cards are shuffled and put into the match-up table. Retsubi vs. Lengard] vs [Babel & Horus ...... It''s you guys! 128 - - The Stadium, Mr. Bahamut A hole. A black hole with no bottom. A black shadow swallowing everything that opens its mouth at my feet. It is not like a crater, not like a mortar, but simply and abruptly without earth. The barely lit entrance to the hole is a vertical cliff. A great void that swallows the black, bottomless shadow. Yeah, let''s destroy the evidence. Feng shui] <, flat ground has appeared and the hole is gone, but there''s no trace of the stage. Time Magic] , the stage will return to its original state like a puzzle piece fitting together. It is a magic to repair broken products, or rather, to return them to durability 1, but it seems to have been able to handle such a large object. It is only durability 1, so it has to be repaired before it can be used, but it looks as if it is back to normal. Homura WIN! Homura: I''m home. Peter: www. Ochazuke: Evil!¡¡Role! Shin: Here comes the destroyer! Leo: Wahahaha! Kikuhime: You are relentless! Homura: This wasn''t the plan! Ochazuke: So what was the plan? Homura: Not in the arena, but like a hole in a person? Chrysanthemum Princess: Only in splatters? Peter: Because they''re both terrible. Shin: Villain B! Homura: How did this happen! It began with a shiny blue . Bahamut dwells in . The glimmering is due to the reflecting light of the sun. > > I said what was on my mind, and White rebuked me, and PIGYA. > <> I stop my hand stroking White and ask him, but he stops moving and stays frozen. It seems that the voice I heard earlier was not White. Which means... > > They squeal cheerfully. It seems that he has recovered enough to be able to express his will, probably because he has been infused with power by the <> for several days before the tournament. <> White has come back from rigor. > <<< Is that so? >> I think this is fine because it''s cute. > <> Apparently, he woke up wanting to participate. > <> I''m in danger of being completely revived," Bai muttered. As for me, I don''t think it would hurt my heart if Babel and Horus were to get their hearts blown out, not to mention the Flame Kings. If they are in the middle of a game, they will be revived later, so let''s have Mr. Bahamut traumatize them a little so that they won''t come close to us. ...... White gave me the stink-eye. Babel and Horus are copies of me, with the same status, skills, and equipment. However, the likability of spirits, summons, and gods is set to the average of all players, so they seem to be a little weaker than the real ones. ...... somewhat?¡¡I think most of my funny points are related to the sensitivity to the gods, white, and Bahamut. And the abilities that are copied are from combat, my skill level has increased since then, I''ll have a hard time but I''ll be fine, no, there are two of them. When I told them that they had copied my abilities and equipment, White suggested that I go to Bahamut. > I was pleased to hear them reply in such a way that I found it quite surprising. After fighting the two, the only skill I have gained is [Awe]. I''ll work on my skills again after this fight so that I won''t lose ....... Why is my deputy supposed to fight me? No, I guess he has already fulfilled his role as a [substitute knight] since he seemed to have participated in the Dragon Ring competition. The result of the match shows that I won without any problems, so I should not get involved with any players in that area. In the meantime, a call is made. In the white light of the equipment, a challenge is issued to you. Do you accept the challenge? Announcement. If you refuse, the knight of the emperor abstains, and the arena game continues, he explains. Wait, isn''t this a battle in which the holder of the obtains the right to challenge the holder of the ?¡¡Is it buggy?¡¡During the confusion, the preparation period expires and they are sent out on stage. Let''s think about it later and do the math to win for now. The Sword Emperor and the Wise Emperor Homura vs. ¡óReady ¡óGo! The names are all over the place again. I found out that these names are only visible to those who are going to fight each other. I am not sure if Babel and Horus can see my real name or not. Awe] is activated while the announcement is being made. The effect doesn''t really kick in until after the "Go!" subtitle has shattered and disappeared. "Oh, that''s my emperor!" "No, my emperor!" Hey, please stop looking so teary-eyed and emotional! "This sword, which I dedicated to my emperor, Lengard-sama, let''s see how far it can be of service to Lengard-sama!" "I have dedicated my magical power to the [Wise] Lenguard, let''s see how far it can help him!" "And when you''ve found me worthy, you can try my body." Babel emphasizes her bountiful breasts. "And when you''re done, you can try my body." Horus emphasizes his chest hidden by his robe. > << <> Horus flapped his front before coming toward us. Babel was ...... against Horus, and he was hardly equipped to take it off in the first place, so don''t even try!¡¡Don''t you dare say anything obscene!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! > Before it turns 18!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!¡¡Come on, come on, come on! > Bahamut''s cry was heard, and suddenly the arena was enveloped in darkness. The sky is dark. The sky is dark, as if a storm has suddenly broken. ...... Oh, is that Bahamut? It''s original size is bigger than the island, let alone the arena, and it seems to have appeared in the sky in its original size. It is so black and big that you can''t see it, or you can''t see the whole picture because you can only see a part of it. From a distance, Bahamut should be visible. > > I am in a panic, and White is also sounding impatient. GYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAUNNNNNNNNGAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!! Bahamut howled. It shakes the air and the earth. Babel and Horus are struggling to keep their balance.¡¡They are yelling something like "I''m sorry! For the moment, the ranting and raving seems to have stopped. > White peppered me. < <<< Rejected! >> In the meantime, a violent rain of heat and light poured down. > > Even the secondary winds that accompany the breath are violent, but thanks to the protection of the <>, they are reduced, and the coat and hair are flipped up and fluttering, but that is all. No damage. When he is sure that he is unaffected, he is able to relax. . ? I was a little worried that Bahamut''s attacks would be nullified as well, but the is not a weapon or armor, but a dwelling place for a pet. This is the "strongest armor" against Bahamut, but it seems that it was not copied. <> I''m sweating like a son of a b*tc*, but I''m sure I''ll be fine since all the games except the final are supposed to be held in a different space at the same time. I hope so. The flood of light lasted long enough for me to have a conversation with White, but eventually it ended. I am relieved to see the audience in front of me when the light stops. Then the dark heavens descend. Just as when it was dark, it suddenly became bright and a smaller Bahamut was falling toward me, wearing wind effects. I know it is Bahamut, but to the uninitiated, it looks like a meteorite. > I panicked a little, but Bahamut disappeared and I was replaced by a figure in black armor. Black armor with a hint of blue in the darker shadows. The armor of Bahamut. Armor dripping with reddish-black blood. <> I rush to heal myself. ! >> No answer, it was chirping just now. <> Even though I tried to heal myself, I still couldn''t stop the blood from flowing. It must have been a great burden for ...... to breathe back to its original size. < Please don''t do that, because I''ll cry half the time. > I look at my feet when White says that. And back to the beginning. Homura WIN! 129 - - The Final of the Stadium The third-place finishers of the overall party and the overall individual competitions were completed. How about Babel and Horus for the third place? In the individual competition, a martial arts fighter somehow won. Personally, I thought that the other fighter was stronger than him, but M! He lost because he ran out of M! Shin said that the M! Shin said that he should have added a combo of recovery of M! Shin said that he should have put in a recovery combo, but when he saw how much H! recovery combo is a very small amount of recovery, but it seems to be indispensable for makkenshi. Shin: If Gil had won, he would have won! Kikuhime: It''s a little strange that you can only participate either in a party or solo. Leo: So many fighters! Ochazuke: Thiefs have a hard time with surprise attacks and other skills when soloing, and swordsmen seem to be swinging their STR too much this time and not getting hit. Homura: In individual competitions, wizards are not participating much. Peter: I think it will increase when things like [shorten chanting] and <> become available in a little while. Ochazuke: It''s still hard for ordinary wizards to hit the target, but if they do, it''s a big deal. Shin: Even I can kill a soloist while he''s chanting. Leo: and and other fast ones can be avoided at a distance! Peter: It''s good that you''re active in the party. Ochazuke: By the way, is Homura going to be in the finals in that villain armor? Homura: Maybe if I force myself to take it off, I can, but I won''t! Leo: Bloody armor! Kikuhime: I want to see a big dragon! Shin: It''s amazing how you can''t even see it when it''s too big and close. Peter: I had heard about it, but I didn''t think it was that big. Ochazuke: Can you control that one? Homura: Basically, both pets and summoned beasts are free-range! Peter: www. The blood of Bahamut does not stop,really H! How many total? Or is it because of the wounds inflicted by the gods?¡¡< could heal me. It took a long time from the third-place match to the final of the individual competition. I had let him come back at the strong request of White, or rather, he voluntarily came back when it was time for the final and I was all alone. I was alone, so I worked hard to recover. . The blood is clean and healed further, but I''m worried about the wound opening up again now that I''m going to be moving. I clean the white, the chairs, and the floor that I have called out for the finals with [life magic]. I have been using M! I''m using it a lot outside of the game. By the way, White has not told his clan members what kind of summoner he is, because he doesn''t want them to be miffed at him. It is true that the Flame King''s attacks do no damage, but....... The finals of the general party competition will now begin. The management announced that a pillar of light had appeared again. This time, however, instead of being brought out onto the stage, it was brought out into a small room somewhere. In the small room, there was an usher wearing an arena uniform, Babel and Horus, and I almost vomited blood at the thought of it happening again, but this time they were both taking it very seriously. Sometimes I felt uncomfortable when they stared at me with upturned faces, but for the time being it was peaceful. If they behaved normally, they would be a joy to behold, but why do they have such a personality? Please enter the venue from here. I will escort you to the entrance, but from there [knight of the emperor] will follow you to the bottom of the stage. Come to think of it, in the finals of the individual competitions as well, the finalists appeared on foot on the floor where the stage was located with the introductions. I guess it was just for show. While the guide was explaining the situation, announcements were being made in the arena about the betting multipliers from the time of the first matchup, refunds, and the current multipliers for new bets to be placed. The fact that the multipliers for bets placed before the first match and those for bets to be placed now are reversed means that more and more people think that I will win even if I play solo based on the results so far. I follow the leader through the narrow aisle and enter the hall. Babel and Horus, who were ahead of me, kneel on either side of me before the stairs to the stage. I would have climbed up the stairs, but the difference in the steps made it difficult for me to put my feet near their lowered faces, and I felt like stepping on my hand.¡¡I''m afraid that he might say, "I''m sorry, I''m sorry, I''m sorry. So I avoid it. Kick the ground lightly in front of you to activate¡¾Sky Flight¡¿and land quietly on the stage using¡¾Stay in the air¡¿. (Although it is not exactly a "landing" since his equipment always activates <>. They face the Flame Kings on the stage.

While talking with White, I take SS (screenshots) of the Flame Kings and their merrymaking. They are probably having a party conversation, but the Flame Kings are silent. They are holding a shiny black iron pot around their bellies in silence, which is quite amusing. I was a little surprised because I had an image of the Flame Kings as being a little hardened, not liking to equip themselves with weapons of jokes. Lenguard vs. ¡óReady ¡óGo! Let''s go! "Oh!" Five voices overlap with the Flame King''s call. Even the small woman said, "Oh! I wondered briefly if that was the signal for the battle, but I guessed that was the signal for the battle of the [Retsubi].

Please report yourself. With , he dispels the arrows sent by the bowman Krull, deflects the attack of Gilweitzer, and cuts down Koreto, the holy law user. Because he used the pot first, the arrow that Krull sent to check him was a fast-acting normal attack, and Gilweitzer''s attack was the first hit without any combo connected, but it seemed to hurt if it hit him. The earth of the shield moves, but unfortunately, my enhanced speed is unusual for a magic swordsman, or even for a Thief. And with White''s ability on board, knocks Koreto down with a single blow. "Hey, hey, I thought you were a wizard! Gilweitzer, no longer in the language of the lady, is that still the manly way you are?¡¡The winner of the professional fencer''s division is no mean feat, and although his words are upsetting, he does not let up on his attack. He is deflecting and deflecting, so there is no damage, but he is surely connecting his combo. He is afraid of getting hit. "You changed from a wizard to a swordsman!

The Flame King activates his skill, slashes at you, feints a light counterattack while avoiding you, and then attacks Haruna who is in a fixed turret, and puts out his shield to protect her, and attacks Daichi when he sees an opening. The gap is created by the distraction of the mind to get close to Haruna''s side. He turns to Haruna''s side and inserts his sword into the gap between his armor and helmet on his neck. With his eyes fixed on Haruna, he slashes at Daichi''s throat. The sudden change of direction causes a G-force to hit him and he yelps, but when he hears the Flame King slashing at him again, he takes a step back and ducks. It is good that he is fast, but the load when he slows down is too much. I wonder how many is White''s speed?¡¡At this rate, it seems pretty high. Earth! "H!? But it''s a blow!" A weak point attack activates [Isshin]. Isshin] increases damage and gives a certain probability of instant death when attacking a weak point. I wonder if it is the damage increase or the instant death, but whatever it is, I am glad that it is not reflected. activates before the attack hits and reflects the damage it would have received. I accidentally activated it out of habit, but [Isshin] seems to be able to slip through the pot barrier because it is determined after the attack is made. If Haruna''s magic works, this is OK too. Feng Shui! "Aah!" "Aww!" Drink the life force! "......!¡¡Get up on the black!" A strange sight of lava flowing over the stage, about the size of Bahamut''s breath hole. The lava disappears when it reaches a certain point, as if it has been cut off. < zone, the [Burning] condition does not disappear, and the lava is not reflected as expected. There are some blackish areas with low temperatures, which seem to be safe zones, but as long as you cannot get off the stage, you will continue to take damage from the combustion. If you attack Haruna who drinks medicine while moving on the black lava stone in a hurry, Gilweitzer intervenes. I''m getting combustion damage, are you OK?¡¡If you switch your opponent to Gilweitzer, the Flame King intervenes this time. He is also suffering from combustion. The two of them have told others to drink life-enhancing drugs or to go up to the lava rock, but they have not done so, nor have they gone up to the safe zone. Well, if they had taken it, I would have cut them down. Krull is throwing medicine at the two who have not taken it. Since the safe zone is blocked by Haruna, the Flame King and Gilweitzer are in the lava. As for the terrain, I think the < is great, and I''ll alchemize it and sell it as a consumption item later. Will it sell? < While saying that he has no mercy on me, White points out that Krull is about to use some kind of a technique that requires a lot of time and energy. As was the case when he was playing with Roy and his team [Kronos], if an attack is directed at Haruna, Krull will use a big move that requires a long time to build up, and conversely, if an attack is directed at Krull, Haruna will use a magic with a long chanting time. But, however... "Krull!¡¡Stop!" Reflecting! Gilweitzer and the Flame King call a halt. Too bad, if I had used my skill on Roy and the others, I could have avoided them, hit the three of them here, and finished off Krull with my reflection. It hurts them if they hit anyone but me, because they reflect the fire before the friendly fire prevention is triggered. I always make sure that someone is between range and range, not only to attack, but also to take that into account. I don''t know what kind of skills I have with the bow, let alone with magic, but I''m not very good with it. < <<> Actually, that''s the thing, I''ve been told by Ochazuke and Peter to make sure I win. Not only will Leo and Shin''s clan house money problem be solved if I win, but those two scumbags are betting all their money on me, and it''s too risky if I lose. To protect Haruna and Krull in the small safe zone, the Flame King and Gilweitzer stepped into the lava, taking more combustion damage than the life-enhancing potion had done and slowly losing H! is decreasing. At first, Gilweitzer is sunk. Thanks to the equipment and White''s [Ability Loan], his speed is so fast that I feel like an idiot. Isn''t it great to be faster than White?¡¡However, Haruna and Krull, who are long distance workers, are not so good. I''m not confident enough to kill the Flame King and Gilweitzer with a single blow, Daichi might have activated [Isshin] for instant death. So, I''m not so sure that I can kill them with a single blow. is reduced to about three-fourths, and then strike the weak point. Unlike Daichi and the Flame King, Gilweitzer does not wear any armor to protect his neck. The defenses can be ignored, but the defended (???????) area is not a weak point, so the [Ò»éW] ability cannot be used. "Gil!" "Kyah! Flame King!" The Flame King, whose consciousness was taken by Gilweitzer as he faded into light, also asked the Flame King to leave. He was so upset and startled that he didn''t need to lose his composure after losing the fight in the arena, but it was an opening. . Watching the Sea Serpent and other enemies, I remember that White was fast from the beginning, not level-dependent speed, but some skill or title. I don''t want to be merciless in a battle for the sake of battle, even though we are friends, but Daichi was not so much because of his full face, but it would be a bit traumatic to see the head of Gilweitzer and the Flame King with his face visible leaving his torso, but the golden glowing pot also doesn''t disappear until it disappears. Of course, Haruna who is screaming is also a pot. Cut off and discarded by white. The remaining two players are H! are low and weak in close combat. Lengard WIN! I won safe and sound: ......! 130 - - The End of the Competition Homura: I''m home! Shin: Welcome back, knight of the head cutter! Kikuhime: It''s a horror story! Leo: I want neck armor! W! Peter: Awww, that''s pretty bad. Ochazuke: Much worse. But it will buy you a lot of land for your clan house. Leo: Oh! Shin: Thanks to you, we''re all set! Homura: That''s great. Ochazuke: When I heard that you sold off almost everything but your weapons and armor (what you''re wearing), I really didn''t know what to do. Homura: I''m glad to hear that. Thank you for enjoying . Attention all participants in the arena tournament. Those who participate in the tournament as players can earn [titles] from the audience. Titles in the arena have no effect on combat, etc., but effects can be triggered according to the title. Let''s earn various [titles] with our unique fighting styles. Only the top three titles can be listed on the guild card, and only the top title will have the effect. Spectators may send [titles] to contestants from the arena terminals. Send your titles to the most impressive players. From the terminals in the arena, you will be able to see the titles sent by others and share in their titles. The deadline is the end of the awards ceremony. Announcement from the game management. What''s a "title"? We will now move on to the award ceremony. Please come to the arena if you are eligible. Without much time to think, the arena management made an announcement. Homura: The call has come! Peter: Have a good day! Shin: I wonder what the prize is. Leo: I hope it''s a good one! Kikuhime: Only with weapons and stuff, right? Ochazuke: Homura-san, let''s do something about the image here. Fly a pigeon or something? Peter: www. Homura: I have such a terrible image! Kikuhime: At best, you''re a raspberry! What do you mean, "well"?¡¡I''d like to question him in detail, but the usher has arrived, so I give up and move on. > < < <> I imagined it for a moment when White told me. A man in bloody armor suddenly appears a little while ago and silently drops the heads of his friends one after another. ...... horror! > Bahamut seems to have reached his limit and is returning to the on his chest. He is dressed in the white equipment given to him by the gods, and in the delicately designed equipment of Garganos to match. Bahamut''s armor would have been much better looking if not for the image of his bloodstained body, but this is better to dispel the horror image for the time being. Please come this way, we will transfer you to the venue. I got on the transfer plate in the small room to which I was led, and went out into the hall where I had just fought. On the stage were the third place winners of each division and above, and in the center of the stage was a small princess. With the king and the prince, there was a picture-perfect princess with blue eyes that seemed to spill out, soft, loose curls of pale blond hair, and a frilly dress shaped like a dome that spread out from around her waist in pale pink and white. She was probably even younger than Lapidus and Noel, and her plump cheeks were adorable. The prince, who declared the tournament open and who also seemed to be a blonde-haired, blue-eyed prince, was holding on to his pants with his small hands and pulling them tight. Thank you very much. The knights standing behind her look somewhat stiff, and the prince and the king look at the princess anxiously. Is it my fault?¡¡Is it my fault?¡¡Even the Flame Kings seem to be distancing themselves from me ....... Am I being paranoid? The king''s useless, powerful, and gratifying story begins. Oh, let''s send him a [title] while we''re at it. Most of the people in the arena have probably decided to ignore what the king has to say. Peter, would you prefer [Space Ninja] or [Fantasy Ninja]?¡¡Well, okay [pedophile ninja]. Leo [Freedom], Shin [Technique Puny Kenshi]. I''ll add "Roy" as I see fit. I think this is the first time I''ve been pleased with such a long greeting for an event. After he had safely named the Flame King as a "Flame Swordsman," the announcer again announced the event. Princess Gloria of Fagat will now present the prizes to the high ranking winners. After the King''s speech, the Prince called out the names of the winners in each category, and the Princess almost bit her lip as she congratulated them and handed out the medals. The second and third place winners received only a medal, while the winner received a kiss on the cheek from Princess Gloria. It''s tough being royalty. The audience cheers as new names are called. The contrast between the large, red-haired Gilweitzer and the small, stubby Princess Gloria is quite fascinating. It''s not Peter, but it''s good to see a young child who is aware of his position and tries his best to fulfill his role. A noisy child in any place makes me want to iron claw him, though. "Winner of the overall group (party) competition, Lengard! The hall falls silent. The audience had been cheering loudly every time their names were called, but this is inexplicable. In the watery silence, we move forward. By the way, the weather is still bad because of the wind clouds that Bahamut called when he appeared. How does it work when the attack (breath) only affected the stage and its surroundings? It''s not as if Bahamut was not in the arena in the first place. Yeah, but dropping heads in this weather would have added to the horror. "Hello, I''m at ......." How are you enjoying the day?¡¡There''s a dark cloud hanging over us, sir. A white face, bloodshot, broken words. They''re scared out of their wits, doves. At any rate, we''ll go to the blue sky with Feng Shui. Since the pigeon is too close to fly, it may not be to my liking, so I use magic to send down around Princess Gloria. Fluffy flowers of the same light pink as Princess Gloria''s skirt. If this doesn''t work, I''ll call a fox or a squirrel, though I haven''t learned such a "magic trick" yet. I wasn''t sure if it would work, but it seemed to be enough to distract little Princess Gloria, who scooped the fluffy flowers with her hand and looked at them curiously as they melted away in her hand, just as they had done when they hit the ground. . > If I had to guess, I''d say there''s a , but it''s not even rooted, it has soil. Besides flowers, for girls, for girls, you know, the ones I made for Lapidus and Noel and Cal and Reno were so happy with the purpose and the result was different. I put a vial of colorful kompeito sugar in the palm of my little hand where the flowers had disappeared, and that''s all I can do now. I don''t ask you to laugh, at least don''t make me cry. A rating of 10 will give you a little boost in spirit and good luck!¡¡It should be pretty just to look at. She''s got a smile like a flower. You''ve got a lot of range, kid. Congratulations and a kiss on the cheek. The audience, which had been quiet earlier, cheered loudly, and continues to do so now. As the prince - whose name I failed to catch - delivers his closing words, Babel and Horus look at him, but the Flame Kings next to them look at me strangely, and I somehow manage to put the number of people in his hand. A kompeito sugar is given to him. No, I don''t think he was looking at it because he wanted it. <<< hmm? >> Oh, no, the Flame King is a princess, but that''s what happens to princesses when they eat. A bit optimistic, I don''t think royalty would eat something that was given to them by who-knows-what. Babel and Horus are a little too late for that, so I won''t worry about them. This concludes the tournament. T points will be awarded according to your ranking in the tournament. T points can be exchanged for items and can be used at various locations in the arena. We will have special exchange items for the winners, so please participate in the next and subsequent tournaments. With the start of the T-point system, T-points will be earned in the arena [VS Monster Stage] from now on. Please use the arena more than usual in conjunction with the tournament. Consumables up to a certain rank will continue to be available for purchase at SIL. An announcement was made by the management. Are you sure about that point name? As soon as the royalty left, Babel and Horus came toward us and we fled by transfer. The transfer plate in the arena is one-way, just like in the store, so we returned to the fast and transferred to the arena again. It is a little troublesome, but even if the capacity problem of the temple is solved, if all transfers are possible, money will not be available for the cities along the way. In this case, the stores around the arena and the capital city on the other side of the river, Navai, will not be able to receive money, so even if the technology catches up, the transfers will probably remain one-way. Or maybe it is already possible and they just haven''t done it yet. On my way back, I took off my mask and quietly changed my clothes. I go against the flow of people leaving the arena and look for my clan members. Homura: Where are you? Peter: still in the audience. Shin: I''m looking at the prize. Ochazuke: You can only use T-points in the arena, so it''s pretty interesting. Kikuhime: Either way, we need to clear out a few people before we can move! Leo: I like the tail equipment. Ochazuke: You have your own. With that being said, I check out the prizes myself. It seems that the medal given to me by Princess Gloria is converted into T-points, and the first place in the team (party) competition is worth 6,000 points. The total for the whole party was 6000, and I was all alone. By the way, the first place in the solo competitions such as the individual competitions and the job competitions is also 1,000 points. The product lineup is subject to change over a certain period of time, so be sure to get what you want as soon as possible. 1st place release 3000 points (Not yet released) 2000 points Sword of the Emperor Great Sword of the Emperor The abbreviation The 1000 points Bracelet of the Emperor The Emperor''s Ring ... abbreviation The 600 points s*x change stone Recipe for panacea Beast Evolution Stone - Bird Man Human Evolution Stone - Celestial 500 points Transfer skill stone Shrinkage skill stone Abnormality recovery skill stone Grand Cross Sword Skill Stone Grand Cross and Great Sword Skill Stones 2nd place release 1000 points Sword of the arena Great Sword of the arena ...

Is the 3000 points not released yet, like you have to win a bunch of games to get them or something? There are a lot of items in the mix that I can''t figure out. Also, it seems that the exchange for sill and the skill point 1 for 1000 T points are available from the beginning. Well, there are two kinds of equipment, one from the gods and the other for solo defeat, and the solo defeat reward is better. Homura: What a huge amount! Leo: That''s because Homra won! Shin: This one only has the slightly more expensive stuff you can buy at the store. Peter: I have some rare ones in the mix, like the petrification-resistant skill stone. I need to win a few more times to get enough points, though. Homura: Here''s an announcement. Chrysanthemum Princess: What is it? Homura: There is a second place prize of 500 T-Points for the liberation of the . Leo: Yeah, yeah, yeah. £¡£¡£¡£¡£¡ Ochazuke: Actually, that''s one of the casino''s prizes. It''s very expensive, though. Peter: Ah! Kikuhime: Ah! Homura: Ah! Shin: You have a casino! Ochazuke: Ah! Leo: Let''s go! Peter: Ochazuke-san? Ochazuke: Casino will be built after the clan house is built £¡£¡£¡£¡ Chrysanthemum Princess: Until then, you are forbidden! Ochazuke: Give me the land money while you still can! Levy and collect! Ochazuke took the responsibility and collected from both of them the cost of the land and the minimum amount of money that would be required to build the house. Go Clan Master! The prizes in the casino can be obtained without participating in the tournament by saving up sil and exchanging them for coins in the casino and paying the appropriate amount of coins. The amount of money is quite large, so it may be hard to win them unless you win them in the casino or make a lot of money in production. Well, it is better than items that are not related to combat and can only be obtained by those who are engaged in combat. Peter: Homura, what did you get for your title? Leo: I hit an out-of-bounds home run!¡¡I got a star effect! Homura: That''s like flying into the sky and becoming a star. Shin: I''m a "slip-through" artist, I can see my own afterimage! Peter: I [poison user] is w disastrous! Ochazuke: appropriate and reasonable Kikuhime: The titles in the arena are just stories, aren''t they? While everyone is talking, I look at the titles I failed to check earlier. Homura: ...... Peter: What''s wrong? Chrysanthemum Princess: What''s wrong? Homura: I got the [N!?C strongest]... Ochazuke: I''m glad to hear that you''re not a douchebag or anything. Shin: Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha! Leo: wahahaha wahaha! Peter: www. Peter: Show me the effects later. Shin: What else did you get? Better than the horror titles, but still! How did this happen: £¡£¡£¡£¡£¡£¡£¡ 131 - - 129.

Do it in the chat room or on the resident exchange board. 277 Name: Nobody I like the idea of having the same type of job. Sword and fist is also a great way to burn. 278 Name: Nobody There''s some kind of ring warfare There''s a few fights mixed in, but that''s just the way it is. interesting 279 Name: Nobody Horus and Babel? 280 Name. Canaan did it with shields, too. 281 Name. Can''t you tell it''s ringed? >>278 282 Name. >>281 Before the name on the first call. It''s got some kind of title on it. 283 Name: No Name. Poison ninja play is terrible. 284 Name: No Name. So you put a strong poison on it and left it alone? 285 Name: Nobody In the arena, I think poison resistance is a must. I don''t think it''s a good idea to give that much for speed. And that''s it. 286 Name Think of Lengard. You may need all kinds of resistance. 287 Name I ain''t got enough skill points!!!! 288 Name. Resistance and grants are very rare. You can find skill stones in stores in King''s Landing and other places. It''s expensive as hell, though. 289 Name: Nobody I''ve seen appraisals. The variety is blatantly mixed. certain skill sets as skill stones. Is that what you''re getting? 290 Name: Nobody I''ve seen skill stones in the casino giveaways here. There are evolutionary stones. It''s expensive as hell. 291 Name: Nobody Oh! I know it''s a bit odd, but I''d like to try it. I like it, it''s cool. 292 Name: Mr. Nobody H!? Reversals from the minuscule burn! I''m trying to keep up with the combo without losing It''s hard work, isn''t it? 293 Name: Nobody What''s with that strawbale-like weapon? 294 Name: Nobody >>293 bracken-starch dumpling Rare fire polyp because it''s red Glove of the Rare species of water polyp 295 Name: No Name.

Party game I want to learn from 298 Name: Nobody The "Retsubi" place also has a flashy individual play. A little overpowering, but still... It''s a pretty basic form of protection for long-distance workers. 299 Name: Nobody The place of [Princess Black Lily] is special like this. Are they all complements of the black lilies? Even the healer is a shield for the black lily (wizard). How''s that? 300 Name: Nobody Well, they are a group of people just like the clan name says. I don''t know what''s more fun. 301 Name: Nobody As long as it''s within the clan, do what you want. But when I''m in an alliance, I''m not allowed to give up my gear. I don''t like the dialogue. 302 Name: Nobody From the black lilies? 303 Name. From the Black Lily''s crony squire. Wave attack w 304 Name: Nobody Ugh. 305 Name: Nobody If you''re going to name names, go to the bleachers. 306 Name: Mr. Nobody Yes, I''m sorry. 307 Name: Mr. Nobody Ah, Mr. Lengard again. There was no mercy. 308 Name: Nobody How can I win that one? I mean, are they event characters or something? 309 Name: Nobody At the end of the tournament I wonder if the Lengard event will start. 310 Name: nameless The winning prize is a Rengaad patka.

What can we do about it? 136 Name: Nobody In the meantime, we''ll try to increase the damage. I mean, you''re going to put in the prep work. Can you withstand it normally? But no matter how you look at it, overkill I know, right? 137 Name: nameless Master Dosu is going to take you down to the last drop. I feel like I''m coming to ...... 138 Name: Nobody Magic is ineffective. They use magic to kill you with one blow. What should I do to prevent this? 139 Name: Nobody If you block magic, magic, magic! If you bring it into close proximity: £¡£¡£¡£¡ 140 Name: Nobody I''m getting used to it. It would be refreshing to kill them all in the blink of an eye. 141 Name: Nobody >>140 Come to your senses! 142 Name: Nobody Mr. Lengard is such a character. It''s easier to just think about it and go through the motions, you know? 143 Name: nameless I mean, puddles + lightning, right? I knew what to expect. No magic from the Somebody do something about it. 144 Name: Nobody Who is it? All I can say is "Kronos" or "Retsuhi" anymore. I don''t know. And the seed party. 145 Name: nameless I thought it was a grocery store. 146 Name: Mr. Nobody The Legend of the General Store''s Strongest 147 Name. Lengard''s real job was as a wizard. FA? 148 Name: Nobody Maybe? Usually the deadliest wizard in the grocery store. 149 Name. I''m using [feng shui], I guess.

The black assassin is not so bad again. I was thinking, "I''m going to have to go with Balm, the heavy fighter. He blew himself up. 153 Name: Nobody Is there such a thing as a self-destruct skill? H!? I can''t see the gauge. It looks like it''s still standing. H!?1 or will it stay? 154 Name: nameless Pretty terrible skills. But even though it''s a ranged technique, it''s still a full arena. It wasn''t effected. speedy and long-range jobs with prior knowledge I guess I''ll be able to avoid it next time. 155 Name: Mr. Nobody If you can avoid it, you''re out of luck with H!1. 156 Name: Nobody Kronos vs. It''s a very safe party fight to watch. 157 Name: nameless I can be on the edge of my seat for a win or a loss with great peace of mind. I hate the of [wood magic]. 158 Name. >>157 Weird, but I too can rest easy and fret about the winners and losers. 159 Name. Mr. Lengard''s aftereffects are... 160 Name: nameless Haruna, I wonder what you look like. 161 Name. I''m pretty sure red hair is a definite. I''ve never seen this before. 162 Name: Nobody It''s turning into Roy vs. the Flame King, isn''t it? It''s a party fight. Looks tight without a shield. 163 Name: nobody Dawn is handling it and Shirayuri is handling it. I''m glad you''re leaning on it. 164 Name: Nobody Well, is the Thief type the Momiji one? Gilweitzer is having a hard time attacking. Kaede''s checkmate comes in at the right moment. 165 Name: nameless That twin twin partnership is awesome. No talking to each other, no looking at each other, no talking to each other, no looking at each other. 166 Name: nameless The Black Lily is still the same as ever. 167 Name: nameless So that the black lilies can shoot magic comfortably. I''m more of a defender of the city. And Black Lily also distributes recovery. Offensive power is there, but... It''s a party that''s a pain to break up. 168 Name: No Name. There''s more clansmen, so there''s more aggression. They say you can even make up a party. 169 Name: Nobody He''s wearing good equipment, too. You don''t look like you''re very good at it. 170 Name: nameless Something about the lower (?) part of the clan. From the members I''ll make him pay up and be the favorite of the black lilies. Wence''s place at the Golden Hammer. I think they are making them wear expensive uniforms. 171 Name: Nobody We are a group of strategy group, but we are pushing the equipment. So, I''ve been where you''ve been. Occupation with equipment and job, not strategy. I guess. 172 Name: Nobody Whether you hit Kronos or Ardent Fire Even if you hit Mr. Lengard ( ). You''ll lose next time. 173 Name: Nobody I don''t care what equipment you have, you can''t use manpower. 174 Name: Nobody Oh, the fire has won! 175 Name: nameless Gilweitzer self-sacrifice.

LOL! 179 Name: Nobody The Black Lily also won. 180 Name: Nobody I don''t care about that one. 181 Name: Nobody I wonder how the semi-final pairings are going to work out. Mr. Lengard, I wonder if he''ll blink again next time. --continued below Fighting Tournament part 15 --I''m gonna go-- 609 Name: No Name. Oh man. Lengard''s game and Which one should I watch? 610 Name: Nobody After watching Lengard''s game. You''ll make it in time with your ardent fire. It''ll be the usual blink-and-you''ll-miss-it anyway. 611 Name. No, no, no. Babel and Horus? You have a ring, right? As expected . ...... indeed, it''s not a blink of an eye, is it? 612 Name. Horus seems to be magic resistant. Babel, too, when he was a man, was a big sword, leaning towards power. But when she became a woman, she became a sword and focused on speed. And if I can get up close and personal! But I don''t understand Mr. Lengard. 613 Name: Mr. Nobody [Sword Emperor and Wise Emperor Lengard] vs. Babel, knight of the Sword Emperor, and Horus, knight of the Wise Emperor. Sword emperor, wise emperor? 614 Name: nameless Yes? 615 Name. Eh? 616 Name. I can understand the wise emperor. What''s a sword, a sword! 617 Name. Lengard has a dragon ring Is that so? 618 Name. Huh? If you want it, you''re going to have to beat me in the arena. Is that it? 619 Name: Nobody No, wait, wait. I know magic. Magic! It''s that absurd! What''s a sword? 620 Name. They''re going to confuse us before the game even starts. Lengard, the terrible boy. 621 Name. Ugh! It''s been a long time since I''ve been back in a porno duo. 622 Name: No Name. What kind of strategy is that? 623 Name: Nobody Strip! But closing the gap isn''t a bad idea. 624 Name: nameless Hmm? It''s dark. 625 Name: Nobody pitch dark 626 Name: Nobody What the hell? 627 Name: Nobody Wow! 628 Name. What! What the hell? What''s that voice? 629 Name: Nobody Event? The audience is shaking! 630 Name: Nobody Hey, I don''t know what''s going on. Close, close, close. 631 Name: Nobody Something is howling! 632 Name: Nobody A pillar of light ah! 633 Name: Nobody Dazzling. Is that it or Mr. Lengard''s new technique? 634 Name: Nobody What did you call out? 635 Name: Nobody I don''t know. I can''t see the stage. Is that light pouring down from above? 636 Name: Nobody If this wasn''t stage isolated. Isn''t the whole arena in trouble? I mean, it''s supposed to be isolated. I''m shaking. 637 Name: No Name. When is this going to stop? What is this attack? 638 Name. Oh no! Oh no! 639 Name: nameless Lengard is too much. I don''t think we can win. 640 Name: Nobody What were you thinking when you created this character? 641 Name: Nobody As the strongest character in the arena I thought you were the reigning ...... Waiting for players to level up? 642 Name: Nobody Can we win when we get up there? ...... 643 Name: Nobody How much higher do I have to go? 644 Name: Nobody Oh. It stopped. And something is coming down! 645 Name: Nobody A pitch black sky is falling. The whole sky is falling. 646 Name: Nobody Meteorite? Wow, sky, clouds! 647 Name: Nobody It''s swirling! Oh, man! 648 Name: Nobody Look down there! Hole! Hole £¡£¡£¡£¡ 649 Name: Nobody Awww, it''s awful, both downstairs and upstairs. I don''t care if Lengard is safe. What the hell is that outfit? WW is an ominous place. When the one that just came down disappeared. He was woged. 650 Name: No Name. Was it an evil god or an evil god? 651 Name. Evil gods fall from the sky. And a hole in the ground 652 Name: Nobody Blood 653 Name: Nobody From the godly atmosphere that I was in earlier. He looks so evil! 654 Name. That wasn''t a blink of an eye. 655 Name: Nobody >>654 Is that it? It was simply a long pillar of light. I think he was killed instantly in that one. ......? 656 Name. That pitch black thing is a dragon. 657 Name. Dragons? I didn''t see a shred of it. >>656 658 Name. The arena was so crowded that I didn''t even go to the island. SS arrived from a friend who gave up. It''s a big black dragon, bigger than the island. Too close for me to see from here. Maybe he was in a hurry, but it stuck out. I didn''t get the whole picture. I hear there''s a huge commotion in the capital. 659 Name. What are you keeping, Mr. Lengard ...... 660 Name: Nobody Is it at the level of national overthrow, Mr. Lengard? ...... 661 Name: Nobody I have to win this later. We ...... 662 Name. No, the white side will be on our side. Actually, I''m thinking black and white, dual personalities. And the black one is the enemy. 663 Name: nameless Oh, ...... Whether you are a friend or foe in the end and then decide whether to fight or not? 664 Name: nameless If you raise your sensitivity, while you''re fighting the black one... Just in time, the white one comes to the surface and stops the movement, "Swing your sword without care!" I could see him saying, "I''m not going to be here for a long time. 665 Name: nameless What''s that? 666 Name. Sticky, but burning. 667 Name. And I''m usually the white one at the grocery store. I''m just trying to be nice. When the two beasts are looking busy. He would peek in from the back with a worried look on his face I''m sure you''ve been pulled in, right? 668 Name: nameless Mr. Lengard www. 669 Name. This isn''t becoming an arena thread. But in this state, Retsubi and Kuroyurihime''s You can''t even play the match live. The impact of what you just said is too strong. Oh, no, it''s back to the stage. This place is like a game. I wonder if it''s got an auto-repair feature. 670 Name: Nobody I''ll go start another thread! 671 Name: Mr. Nobody >>670 Oh, nice to meet you. 672 Name: Mr. Nobody >>670 Nice to meet you. At last, a dedicated thread! 673 Name: Mr. Nobody >670 The title is Like "Rengaard Observations"? Mr. Lengard today? 674 Name: Mr. Nobody Retsubi is slaughtering the black lilies for sure. We''re in the middle of this semi-final and it''s an arena thread. This state of affairs, where the battle is not being played out. 675 Name: nameless Player to player! V! It''s a tournament. There was a time when I thought 676 Name: Nobody It was different when the residents were out. Mr. Lengard came out and it was something completely different. I thought. It''s a terrible thing to have a confirmed death when you decide to play against someone. 677 Name: Nobody If the potential winners hit it early... What are you going to do about this? 678 Name: nameless Just think of it as a natural disaster and give up on the World Wide Web. 679 Name: nameless What, you use a Lenguard sword? 680 Name: no name >>679 I don''t know, but in terms of titles. Will you use it? 681 Name: No Name. Oh man! 682 Name: nameless Lengard is so bad. Also, the information is one game too late for WW. >>679 683 Name: nameless Magic reflection in the fire I''m sorry I recommended that. 684 Name: nameless It''s okay, right? Instead of being killed instantly by magic. Try it and see. 685 Name: Nobody Is there such a thing as a magic reflex? 686 Name: nameless I mean, magic. From the orcs of the three beautiful princesses of the labyrinth Rare skill reflection items are available. 687 Name: nameless >>686 Three of them? Why that conversion Lengard to someone in a fiery fire. If you can''t contact me and tell me you have a sword. Why don''t you call him? You haven''t seen me at my own game. 688 Name. Oh yeah! I will! --Following Fighting Tournament part17 -- abbreviation... 104 Name: Nobody Third place goes to Babel and Horus. Lengard is killing that third place in an instant. 105 Name: Nobody The individual finals were spectacular, If you don''t see Gilweitzer or the Flame King I feel like it doesn''t add up. Oh, and no one can say anything about Mr. Lengard. 106 Name: Nobody It''s nice to hear the sound of the final. 107 Name: Nobody Yes, but this Mr. Lengard''s skill aftermath Don''t you get hit? 108 Name: nameless I was trying to keep a low profile earlier. The guys in the arena were hard at work reinforcing the warding. Half crying. I''d like to give the word "hot stone". 109 Name: Nobody You can''t do that. We''re fine, but the residents are in trouble. 110 Name: Nobody Oh, The finals are about to begin. 111 Name: Nobody Ugh... Lengard before the first game. The amount of refunds I bet is amazing! 112 Name: Nobody I never thought I''d win solo. Not yet. That''s what happens when you win, right? 113 Name: Nobody Ah, here come Lenguard and Retsuhi. There''s something about Babel and Horus in Lengard. A black www. 114 Name: Nobody Oh! When spread out, it looks like cloak wings. Cool! The blood seems to have stopped. 115 Name: Nobody Mr. Lengard flying without stairs Are you levitating all the time? Elegant www. 116 Name: Nobody This way the black armor looks cool too. Where it''s kind of in the shadows. And sometimes it glows pale. The bloodstained one earlier was a bit of a mess, though. 117 Name: nameless The question is whether a wizard can cut armor. 118 Name: nameless Full body black but not full plate pattern? Leather thighs and such? 119 Name: nameless It looks hard, but when the body moves I''m sure it''s leather. Is it a total coordination with the metal parts? I''d like to have this equipment too. 120 Name. Mr. Lengard, the Wizard Reformer Magic Swordsman Theory 121 Name: Nobody I mean, all the members of the firefighters I''m holding a pot. 122 Name: nameless < on it. 123 Name: nameless Yeah, I said that in the last thread. >>122 Are you the guy from the last thread? Or Roy? 124 Name: Mr. Nobody neat Pero. I''m a rare of three orcs. I''m trying to collect clan house materials. I had enough for the number of people I had circled, so I gave it to Retsuhi. 125 Name: nameless Oh! Congratulations on 5th place! >>124 126 Name: Mr. Nobody >>124 Good job! 127 Name: Nobody >>124 Good for you!!!!!!! I think I''m actually in third place. 128 Name: Nobody Thanks!

Unusual. 132 Name : Nobody The development of a pot of boiling fire I want a frontal SS of WW. >>131 Maybe Lengard is taking SS too. The WWW of pots and pans 133 Name. I would like a SS for Master Lengard. Especially going up to the stage just now. The part where the cape is spreading. 134 Name. It''s rare that they''re ahead of us. Krull''s rapid fire is awesome. I was going to say. sword 135 Name: nameless I got a sword! Arrows at that speed. And it''s kicking! 136 Name: nameless Two floating canes and a sword in the right hand. Swords. That''s fast! 137 Name: nameless I''m a magical swordsman and this is not it. Ten seconds into the game, Coleto sank. My neck is awwww. Scary!!!!!!! 138 Name: Nobody d*mn, he''s strong without any skills! I mean, that''s fast. 139 Name: nameless The manner of intervention that leaves a piece of skin here? The blood that spurts out, not the blood that gets on someplace else. It''ll turn into light particles, just a little bit. Splatter mitigation, though. If the whole head had flown off, it would have been bad. 140 Name: nameless This is terrible. The firestorm probably starts with Krull''s bow to check the fire. They were going to use Haruna''s magic to cut it down, weren''t they? 141 Name: nameless Yeah, something about chanting. Gil, just in case you''re wondering. You hit it? That''s awesome! The shield H! But it''s a blow! 142 Name: nameless As I recall, Koreto, a holy law user, swung the pole. Haruna, the wizard, changed jobs in the middle of her career and took a shield. The status of the 2! is only shaken to INT. Shield earth is also close to the extreme instead. Gilweitzer''s AGI is quite high. The other two are also high So, he''s a one-hit wonder, even though he''s a shield with a near-extreme swing. 143 Name: nameless How can you aim at the border of armor like that? 144 Name: nameless Lava is here! I''m in hell. 145 Name: No Name. >>142 How do you know so much about it? 146 Name: Mr. Nobody >>145 In the early days, you could still appraise them. I''m a production worker, and I''m a serious appraiser. And from what I can see, it looks like they haven''t changed the line. I think it''s going to stay at the extreme end of the spectrum. 147 Name: Mr. Nobody Wow, Speed up again? 148 Name: Nobody Hey, hey, hey. Two people while you scream. I''ve been decapitated! 149 Name: Nobody They made it look like they were going after Haruna. I came close to protecting them all. Avenged. Haruna was the bait? 150 Name: Nobody I guess it was bait. They don''t let me have time to do magic or get into position. If you use your shield to protect yourself, others will die. 151 Name: Nobody Awww, that''s terrible. It''s also terrible that the only ones left are two long-distance workers. 152 Name: Nobody He''s definitely going for the win. 153 Name: Nobody Mr. Lengard, the evil mode is Head cutting mode 154 Name: Nobody If I could use my skills, would you have shown me something flashy? ...... 155 Name. Yeah, it''s getting too crispy. I forgot to mention that they''re blocked from using their skills. 156 Name: nameless Oh, yeah. I ended up chomping on all of them. 157 Name: nameless When you block the skill, you''re in head-cutting mode. Mr. Lengard. You''re scaring me. £¡£¡£¡£¡£¡£¡ 158 Name: nameless The skill or the black one after all. I thought you were an evil god. 159 Name: No Name. uncontrollable It''s mute and nothing but a horror story. 160 Name: nameless It''s a horror story. It''s a pot... ah! 161 Name: Nobody The one that''s falling over and the one that''s screaming is a pot. I mean, the first one who was killed, Koreto, is coming back. You finished before. 162 Name: Nobody It was a horror story. It was surreal. 163 Name: Nobody I''ll take a loss and hit Lengard.

Homura (Lengard) Occupation: Magical Swordsman Race: Human Gender: Male He has been forced to become vice-master of Zodiac, a clan he created with his friends. His character name is "Homura. He was given the name "Lengard" because he was given the option of choosing a name when he was producing. He thinks that he has become something great after meeting the strong N!C Galahad in the early days, but Galahad and his friends say, "What a bullshit title he has. He has met all the major gods, and he has a title at the level of a "mission" usually given, but the gods want the "food" that Homura cooks. He is the most powerful player in the world at this moment, but he is not aware of it. His log-in time is irregular due to his work. White Homura''s summoner. Hasfarn, the white beast sealed by Val, god of the winds. Before it was sealed, it tried to drive three nations to ruin and destroy the boundary between worlds. He hates humans for one reason or another, but since he has found a human friend in the past, he is sealed up peacefully. He is weakening as he continues to channel his power to repair the rupture in the world he destroyed. His race is a mystic beast. They are fluffy. His current problem is that Homura does not invite him to battle. Bahamut Homura''s pet cavalier. Bahamut, the former Dragon King, was sealed by Verus, the God of Light. Before he was sealed, he destroyed everything that stood in front of him. After a certain age, he was able to cross over to the spirit world, but even there he went on a rampage. He attempted to break the boundary between worlds, and was sealed. There is no reason for his destructive behavior, as he simply destroyed every obstacle in his flight path. Because of his rebelliousness during the sealing, he was not able to pass his power peacefully to the tear, and attempts were made to repair the damage through his body and blood. As a result, he is deeply wounded and although he is highly capable, he is dying. However, he moves without concern. He likes to be polished by Homura. Leno Homura''s cavalier (tentative). He was studying to become a dragon under Paltin the Golden Dragon, but Paltin, worried about his narrow-mindedness, threw him out to see the world while playing Homura''s beast. He is mild among the dragonews because of his watery nature, and he has gained enough strength to become a dragon if he is near a body of water. They are naturally strong, but they cannot be resisted if they are summoned by the summoning ring given to Homura by Paltin. Or rather, they will not disobey because it is Paltin''s word against theirs. Lapidus Clerk at Homra''s general store A wolf beastman, quiet but obedient. He is about 120cm tall with waist-length black hair, black ears and a black tail. His tail is fluffy and stimulates Homura''s desire for fluffing. However, I hesitate to reach out my hand near her buttocks. Homura doesn''t notice it, but it is almost expressionless when Homura is not around. Noel Clerk at Homura''s general store A boy who is a wolf beast and mature in thought. He is about 120cm tall with waist-length gray hair tied up in a bun. The amount of hair appears to be small due to its thinness. His hair is fine and will be fine to the touch in the near future. He is quite harsh to everyone except Homura and Lapidus. CAL Bouncer at Homra''s General Store Former boss of Galahad and his family, who lives on the second floor of the general store. He is a former boss of Galahad and his family. He was forced to flee his homeland because of suspicion of wrongdoing with the queen of the king whom he served, and is apparently supposed to be dead. His real name is Lancelot, and he is also known as the Knight of the Lake. He was saved by Homra when he was unable to live with himself due to an old wound. Clan Zodiac*.

He is a smart guy and likes to get information from forums and advance efficiently, but in this game, he is caught in the trap of "get it on your own or we''ll drop the reward by one level". Still, he is steadily increasing his funds. He is a good person who follows Leo and Shin in every game because they forget to heal. This time, too, he is in recovery. He works from home, so he logs in for long hours and spends his daytime with other acquaintances, such as Karma, who wants to be in the strategy group. Chrysanthemum Princess Occupation: Warrior Race: Elf Gender£ºFemale Vice (vice-master) is imposed on him. Real friend of Homura. A friend who usually plays the same online games together.

Leo Occupation: Secret agent Race: Beastman (canine) Gender£ºMale Real friend of Homura. They usually play the same online games together. His behavior and skill structure are a mystery, as he is quick to take up whatever interests him at the time. He likes fishing, mining, and walking to collect things, so he chose "Shifu" as his first job because it allows him to move around quickly. He is aiming to become a fox beastman. He is also aiming to become a ninja, but so far he has not acted on the belief that there is such a job, aiming to obtain it in an unidentified profession. Real Luck is a man who works in a strange place. Often he is in his own H!? Often he does not see his H!? Sometimes he does not even know that he is recovering. Often, he avoids the pinch and those who come to his rescue get hurt badly. Gods*. The most familiar form is the one that is generally preferred. The gender, age, etc. can be changed freely, but the basic color of the hair and eyes is the color of the attribute that it symbolizes. The order of effectiveness of the titles is Blessing, Blessing, Protection, and Favor, in that order. Basically, these titles can be obtained by meeting the gods and completing the trials of the gods. Except for some permanent events such as Dark/Light magic and Dru''s Field, where the main purpose is to acquire skills and items. Blessing: Some of the residents have this title. If a player performs an event with the gods based on the prior information obtained from the message boards, etc., he/she will receive a blessing instead of a blessing. Blessing: obtained by meeting the gods on your own. Protection: given by events with gods based on prior information or by clearing trials, etc. Favor: given only when you meet the gods on your own with your favoritism raised by completing ordeals, etc. Usually, you need to meet the gods more than once because of the favoritism issue.

Only the second one that makes sense!¡¡Is that the pedophile or the princess?¡¡Are you a princess?¡¡What''s natural! I''m going to keep the third one under wraps for now. Who put it there? Then I looked at the other candidates for the title, which I could see from the terminals in the arena, and quietly decided not to look at them. They''re all disturbing and funny!¡¡And [Retsuhi takes pity on me], is that my title? I''m Lenguard of the Fire of Pity!" And you want me to call myself that!¡¡I won''t do it! Ochazuke: Homura''s title and candidates are terrible! Peter: Congratulations on your pedophilia! Shin: Brilliantly mixed with strong and vicious! Leo: Wahahahaha! Kikuhime: We are pushing for the [Demon Lord of Chaos], aren''t we? Homura: Geez!¡¡I can''t believe I can see the candidates!!!! Peter: If I can''t see it, I can''t vote for it. Homura: orz. I tried to hide the fact that I could see everything. The follow-up is terrible. Ochazuke: People are starting to pull out, so let''s join them. Peter: I''m going to check out the casino''s prizes, and then I''ll think about exchanging T-points. Homura: Oh, sure. Kikuhime: You are in the danger zone! Shin: Yay! Leo: fox fox fox There are so many prizes that it''s hard to choose, but I''ll just pick out the ones I definitely want. I''m also interested in the evolution stone, but I''m afraid that if I evolve, I''ll look like a homura and people will ask a lot of questions, so I''m going to pass on it for the time being. I also want a good staff, but I''ll put this aside for now. The non-transferable emperor series is a bit embarrassing because of its flashy appearance. Well, I can change its appearance.

I would also like to add a full recovery. I''d like to give Galahad and the others a revival medicine, but it seems that they are revived at H! What if they say they already have ......? At least 3,700T, 6,000T is a terrible number. No, I can''t decide on the others. If I''m not careful, I''ll end up taking s*x change pills for the number of people I''m going to get them for! According to Ochazuke''s information, most of the production and house-related prizes are from the casino, so I''ll make sure I get those prizes first. But the fact that there is no <> in the list means that it is a prize of 3,000T or more. Since <> reverses gender for a limited period of one week and <> reverses gender, the <> used by Babel and Horus has both gender reversal and some other effect--maybe it can change the appearance or age of the person. --It must have been attached. Is it right to think that he is a former emperor? The casino looks elegant without the colorful decorations, though it has the same direction as in the real world, with meaningless but expensive-looking objects, abundant light and sound, high ceilings and fluffy carpets. Here and there, sensationally dressed women or uniformed male employees walk around holding trays with glasses of alcohol. Both alcohol and attractive members of the opposite s*x may be a trick to make the betters'' judgment slower. The casino is empty of residents, probably because the tournament has just ended and they are enjoying themselves at their favorite restaurants, talking about how the games went. Instead, there are many players like me who did not know that there was a casino on the island until the tournament, or perhaps because it is a new place. "Yay!¡¡I''m going to the slots!" "I''ll see how much the fox is worth!" "I''ve already collected the money for the house, so do what you want." Leave some money for transportation, okay? I was a little worried, so I called out to him. "You''re going to have a hard time paying for the trip to and from the island where you''re going to build your house, aren''t you?" "I can imagine the two of them not being able to return to the house after purchasing it." Kikuhime and Peter do not seem to trust them either. "Can''t you just go to the mainland and cry while we''re having fun tinkering with the interior of the house?" "Mwah." "Ugh." They did not trust themselves, either, and after depositing 100,000 shillings separately with Ochazuke, they ran to the place they wanted to go. The remaining four members of the group followed Leo to the prize exchange, talking about how poor they were going to be. "That''s too expensive! Leo is yelling, that''s right, 500T is for the runner-up, we can''t afford to be cheap. "Can I pretend to be someone else?" "It''s okay, isn''t it?" It is embarrassing to shout at the prize exchange, even if the place is full of sound. It is also embarrassing to run away shouting, "Let''s do it! The four of us decided to pretend to be strangers! "The units are B (Bronze), S (Silver), and G (Gold)?" "That looks more like currency than sill." "These coins here, they look like real copper, silver, and gold, don''t they?" Gold looks heavy again. "What''s the image of gold, ......?" "The rate is 1B for 10,000 shillings, 1S for 100,000 shillings, 1G for 1 million shillings, 1T for 1G?" "It''s a waste of T points." "I can''t directly replace it, but it''s a million cils per ton." "The fox is 500 G, 500 million shillings?" "When you work hard to collect materials, <><> are lined up as prizes." "I think it''s overpriced, and that''s fine." 2000G Sewing table in the casino Casino furnace Casino''s dispensing table Alchemy table in casino ... abbreviation ... 1000G Agricultural Skill Stones Skill stone for cattle raising Taikong''s skill stone Casino ring (dexterity) Casino ring (dexterity + strength) Casino ring (dexterity + speed) ...

What is shearing?¡¡I wonder if it is something like wool. 800G is a material, but what on earth can it be used for? There are two recipes for elixirs, and if you read the explanations, you will find that they are for concoction and alchemy. Listening to the conversation between Ochazuke and Peter, I was looking at the cooking and alchemy tables, even though there are still new ones in the store. The series of rings in the casino may be used for combat, but they are production rings that increase the ability value required for each production. Carpentry is also good for building houses. ...... I think there are more things I want here than prizes for T-Points. I''d like to have skills such as [hit increase], [far sight], and so on. Then, my eyes were glued to the 600G above the . "If I have the transfer plate, it will be easier to go to the house." "Hmm?¡¡Oh, yes, there is. "I''ll be glad to have it, even if it costs 600 million. But first I have to get the transfer skill stone. "Plates and transfer skill stones, it''s hard to get both, but I think you can save up enough for one of them if you''re diligent about production and sales.¡¡But if you want to raise the skill level as well, you need to prepare yourself for failure with expensive materials, which is a terrible negative. "When everyone else is improving their skills, you can make more money by making and selling materials, even though they won''t improve your skills." When I mentioned it, all three of them seemed to have found it and began to consider the possibility of buying it. "Thanks to the wager refund, my pocket is warm right now, but it''s not that surprising if you take out the cost of the house, which is the most important thing. I was thinking of using the rest of the money to improve my production skills and make some money by selling some of the more expensive production ......" "When I see it in the casino (here), I want to try to see if I can increase it." You look bad! "Hmm?¡¡Are you going to do it?¡¡If you''re going to do it, I''ll give you this, just to make you feel better." I come to a casino, I want to have some fun. Even if I lose, I can tolerate it as long as it''s only a cup of noodles for lunch that day, but that''s the real world. "Oh, is this the one you gave to the princess and the firefighters?" Peter looks at the vial of kompeito sugar and says. "Yes, a little more luck." "By the way, Homura, did you take SS of the pot?" I got it. "Give me." We want one too! "Me too, please." Ochazuke asked as if he had just remembered, and the other two joined in. "Wait, wait, I''ll ask them if we can give them out. Among the members of the "Retsubi" team, I exchanged partner cards with the Flame King, Gilweitzer, Krull, and Daichi, with whom I had a boss fight together. Just to be sure, I will add a note to ask the other two. It seems that the socially active Ochazuke and others have exchanged cards with all of them, but I have only exchanged cards with those with whom I have partnered in battle. And here is the reply I received. Flame King<> Gilweitzer<> Krull< Daichi< I shudder a little at the light reply from Krull, the polite reply from Daichi, and the way Gilweitzer speaks, forgetting that he was usually a onee.... "She said it''s okay as long as it''s within the bounds of friendship." I email my personal best shot SS of the pot to the three of them, thinking that I''ll cover it up with curry if the Flame King gets involved. "Oh!¡¡It''s a great sense of realism." "Wait, how many pictures did you take during the battle?" "You''re full of them!" "The pots and pans are terrible, the pots and pans." "I can''t leave the house because I know who took the pictures. They''re going to dig up the source of the photos." I''m glad you enjoyed it. "Which game shall we play?" "Roulette, cards, slots. "Roulette, cards, slots... There''s card games like poker, baccarat, blackjack..." Ochazuke is still in tears from laughing so much, but he chooses a game, replacing sill with S. The four of us have 1s in our pocket. In fact, the game is a mixture of Bs. "I''m not good at poker." I can manage to keep a blank expression on my face, but I fall for their fakes. "Homura is weak at Othello and Shogi but strong at Go, and weak at poker but strong at wargames, right?¡¡It''s too strange." "I can handle Go and the Hundred Poems!" "I''m too reluctant to make a choice." If you answer the question that Ochazuke is suspicious of, Peter will criticize you for your reluctance. I am not sure if it was my parents, my great-grandmother, or my sister, but for a while I thought karuta meant 100 poems, and it is a subtle memory that I had never heard of dog stick karuta. If there had been a kenjutsu dojo in the neighborhood, I probably would have been sent to it, but there wasn''t, so I was just running around in the fields and mountains as a child. The countryside. After much chattering, we finally decided to play roulette, and each of us placed our bets. I thought I heard Singh''s shouts at the slot machines we passed on the way here, but I let it pass. Why is it that we are so absorbed in a game with slots when there is no sign of betting in the real world?¡¡I had wondered about this for a while, but Ochazuke said, "I guess you just can''t go out in the real world because it''s too late in the morning at work, so you''ve gotten used to it in the game. It''s economical. I''m glad you''re busy. Black. "Flight." "You''re on board, aren''t you?" "Then I''ll play black odd too." My ninth bet, and so far I''ve won them all. First 1B on red, then 2B, doubled in payout, on street bet and black, both winning 12B and 2B. Since I''m a small town, the 1B is insurance, and I bet on red and black, or on odd-even bets that double the payout, but are easier to guess. With each win, I increase my bets and finally start betting in G. "It''s like real rack plus the rack compensation for status, isn''t it?" "Now that you mention it, I think it''s time to start betting less." I learned for the first time that roulette has not only betting on single numbers, red and black, but also corner bets on four numbers, and many other types of betting locations. I had played roulette before, but it must have been simplified, as there were only four ways to place bets. "It''s not like running around with a huge coin in your hand!" Ochazuke seems to recall the same game. In the giant roulette, players run with coins to the number they want, or to the perimeter of the three segments of the roulette, during the countdown. By the way, the player who misses is blown away from the roulette. "That was kind of athletic," he said. "You used to see Shin and Leo flying around, didn''t you?" "It was funny when Ochazuke and Peter, who didn''t miss very often, flew." Both Peter and Kikuhime seem to remember the event and reminisce about it. Once, when they both set their bets at 1s, they were about to lose their bets, but the bets failed. After that, he decided to give it a try and hit the jackpot when he mixed the betting with a single number bet. I kept missing small and hitting big, and before I knew it, I had won a large sum of money. "Hey, ma''am, I''m getting 11,903 G''s or something, is this okay?" You''ve noticed. Who''s your wife? I''m just a well man." "And when I missed, it was often because I wasn''t betting much. Evasive. "The twelvefold effect is terrible." The ochazuke and the others bet on two different places, the one I bet on and the one they wanted to bet on, so I guess they must have similar amounts, although what G is is a mystery to me. "I''ll get a sewing table instead of a transfer plate!" "I''ve got to go down soon, so why don''t we trade and be done with it?" "What happened to the two broke guys?" "That''s why they''re broke." Just when I was getting nervous, the time was up and we were done. I guess you have to be careful when you take a gamble!¡¡I''m just a little boy. "I have T points, I''ll get a transfer plate for the Clan House." "Yay!¡¡Then, if there''s something you want in the 100G, I''ll exchange it for you." I don''t mind, do you? "You''re going to have to cover Shin Leo''s expenses anyway, so don''t be shy. "Oh yeah, I''ve got some G''s right now." Agricultural Skill Stones 1,000 G Recipe for elixir (medicine) Recipe for panacea (alchemy) Transfer plates x 2 Four for 600G: 2,400G Carpenter''s skill stone Glassworker''s skill stone 2 for 900G: 1,800G Casino cook top Casino''s medicine cabinet Alchemy table in casino 3 for 2,000G: 6,000G The purpose of the jewelry crafting table was to make accessories to avoid possession, so I thought it was OK if I could not make a high rank. Looking at the items made by Garganos, I realized how little sense I have!¡¡Other than that, I have been using the resuscitation medicine, H!? Full recovery medicine. The three of us were kind enough to exchange some of the ingredients from the recipe for the elixir. I''d like to apply for the ownership of the island as soon as possible, and put the equipment we got today on the table. I took the glassworks because I want to try that inflating thing that I often see in the movies!¡¡It''s a game and you can take skills you want to try even if you don''t need them. Carpentry is totally for Clanhouse, although I''m tempted to build a treehouse in the huge tree in Clanhouse. "I got carpentry". "I took architecture." "It''s pretty hard to get up to the next level without a basic woodworker, isn''t it?¡¡Are you two okay?" Peter is worried about us. "I''ll do my best." "I took woodworking, so I''ll be fine." Ochazuke is out of the picture, you son of a b*tc*. I know woodworking is on the list of available skills, but I feel like I''m wasting my skill points. I''ll try my best without taking it. Ochazuke also got [Taigoumou], a skill to get rare items other than fish while fishing, Kikuhime got herding and shearing, and Peter got poisonous plant garden skill. I wonder if Kikuhime is going to master sewing from getting materials. Peter is already nonstop!¡¡But I think that''s hard to level up without cultivation too!¡¡And farming, for that matter! Ochazuke: I''m going to bed over here now. Kikuhime: Homura can take you to the fast now with a transfer, right? Homura: Shin, Leo, good night? Peter: no answer, just a corpse. After the exchange, they contact the other duo. They wait for a moment, and then respond after a pause. Today they may sleep on the floor of the casino. Now, tomorrow we will finally get the house! ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ...more... Titles in the arena N!?C strongest¡¿???Overridden at every tournament. The effect is to create an aura of strength.

The creaking window frames, the rattling of doors, and the roaring wind noise that rattles the trees have suddenly stopped, and there is silence. It must be a blessing for the residents, who are warming themselves in their rooms and going to sleep. However, for Galahad and the others, who are walking through the forest at night, worrying about Camilla''s poor health, the silence, which they have not felt for a long time, is eerily unsettling, as if insects and small animals are hiding their breaths for fear of predators. "d*mn!¡¡I didn''t realize they were holding back the temple." "It''s probably just harassment, all he has to do is say a few words or fill out a few forms. We''ll cross the border now, we''ll have the cavalry and the transference stones, it''ll be easier." "So he was set up, too. I''m an idiot. We go down a road abandoned long ago. The stones of the road have long since been stripped away, and the mountain paths are little better than animal trails. The few stones that remain are pushed up by the roots of the trees and scrape the feet of those who pass by. The power of the great mage whom Galahad calls the One, who has existed since the time of the first kings, pervades every corner of the land, and the power that seemed so dependable when he did not doubt it, now feels like a repulsive watchful eye. "It couldn''t be helped at the time, no one would have thought that he was leaning (...)". Although he knows it is useless to say it, Eagle tells Galahad that it is inevitable, as he begins to blame himself. The reason he thinks it is futile is because he has not forgiven himself for acting the way Galahad did at that time. He did not want to see this man, who usually smiles even when he is in a difficult situation, blame himself so much. "I joined him in his fight because I believed in him at that time. This time, no white-knuckle comfort came to Eagle''s throat. "Don''t, we all believed in him then." Camilla''s words, which seemed to be painful, made Galahad, who did not blame himself enough, shut up. But his silence does not erase the sense of disappointment and regret that swirls in his heart. She is gone. ¡î ¡î ¡î ¡î ¡î ¡î ¡î ¡î ¡î ¡î ¡î I logged in and was able to slip into the evening hours in <>, so I went to the general store and was greeted by Lapidus and Noel, who hugged me from both sides. Lapidus rubbed his forehead against Noel''s while his tail wagged, and I stroked Noel''s hair, which was becoming more and more soft to the touch. The beastman recovers quickly, no longer the starving, scrawny man he used to be. Their cheeks, which had been floppy, regain their child-like plumpness. I''m sure there will be a lot of misunderstandings such as pedophile or boy-crazy, but my boy is cute, and it would be great if he could mooch off his tail. This is a person, this is a person, not an animal, this is a person," I chant in my mind. It is more painful than the Verus ordeal. I''m just a mofuu, not a kemoner, just for the record! While I was fighting my desires in my mind, Cal told me that he had a visitor. I stop stroking them and they leave me. I couldn''t quite picture a situation where Cal or Reno would let a guest through, but who was it? Leno opens the sliding door that leads from the break room to a small room called the business meeting room. "Why are you here?" I was stunned to see who was inside. "Oh, no, ha ha ha!" There was Cardinal Kyle, still expressionless and speaking without intonation. The words "ha-ha-ha" seemed to be read as "ha-ha-ha" without any inflection. I wish the head of the temple wouldn''t come to a humble general store. "I''m sorry, sir, but it would have caused too much trouble if you had waited outside." "Oh, thank you." I wonder if this is what it feels like to want to hold my temples. I''ve never made that gesture in the real world. I thank Cal for his apology and turn to His Eminence Kyle. "I need to talk to Mr. Lengard for a moment. Would you mind if I came with you?" "No, Lapidus is with the Lord." "Are you going to tell the Lord a story that he cannot hear?" Lapidus responds simply to High Priest Kyle''s request to leave the room, and Noel asks with a smile. Why the condescension, Mr. Noel, when you''re taking care of us in the temple? "We just want to talk a little bit about the object you have, Mr. Lengard." "What?" While I was lost in thought at the three words that High Priest Kyle uttered without expression, Reno collected the two children, shoved me into the small room, and closed the door with a bang. The words coming out of his handsome face with intellectual glasses were quite destructive. Wait a minute, Ekaterina has found out about [Bosatsujutsu]!¡¡No, no, no?¡¡I''m a bit of a mussel, if I may say so myself, and it''s hard for me to talk about such a topic alone with your eminence!¡¡Huh?¡¡Who should we ask for help here?¡¡Who is the right person for the job!¡¡No, before that, I''ve never taken my pants off in this world and I''ve taken the liberty of taking people''s things ...... "About his dragon in your possession..." "Bahamut or ......" On purpose?¡¡It''s on purpose, isn''t it!¡¡What''s up with this guy? He''s Yekaterina''s boss, man! I swallow a sigh and sit down across from him, wondering why this man would say something so outlandish with no expression on his face. He is indeed a man of the level of Val''s oracle. "Ah, it is Bahamut, after all. I was hoping for some kind of magic. I didn''t expect him to have his dragon under his command, let alone the white beast. It''s as if Fagat''s top brass has poked a hornet''s nest." "Oh, that." You''re fast. And by the way, maybe it was a trick to confirm that it was Bahamut. "We will disclose it eventually, but we have decided that it is too early to make public the fact that the seal of the beast has been loosened and broken. Fagat is going to settle the matter as if by some mighty <>. I don''t know how he did it, but he did a perfect job of destroying the evidence. You mean you put the stage back. "Wouldn''t it be better to disclose it and prepare for the other beast?" White and Bahamut are both docile (?) This is not a problem for the other beasts, but it is not always the case. In fact, the stories of the beasts are quite graphic: they dominate people, eat them, burn their countries, and make neighbors fight with each other. Even if it is exaggerated, just half of them are out of the picture. "To the people, sir. Even before you came along, the nations and temples have been moving, having noticed the loosening of the beast''s seal. But we were going to let them know after we had secured the strength to fight the raids by bringing in the fast-growing adventurers of the gentiles, who are far less powerful than you are. It is dangerous to tell only the existence of a powerful enemy to a large number of powerless people without the power and methods to oppose it." "Is it that important?" "Of course it''s important." Uh, yeah?¡¡Sure, I might cry in a raid battle if I was asked to fight Bahamut. "Nations that never used to take in their own citizens of good background are beginning to take in promising gentiles. Not only nations, but temples and guilds as well." "Yeah, I''ve heard a few stories here and there about serving." Come to think of it, the clan is an adventurers'' guild, but I hadn''t decided on my personal affiliation. "That''s why I''m recruiting you. Do you believe in God? Why one language? I mean, who in this world doesn''t believe in that?¡¡Even though they''re actually there!!!!¡¡Oh, so believing in existence is not the same as believing in guidance. "I believe in existence, but I don''t have faith." Having faith is difficult because of the image of an annoying god, pants, underpants, and mappa. "Just belonging is good enough. They will know about this place (Zakka-ya). The top management of Fagat is friendly to you for some reason, so you could belong to them, but in that case, you might get a request to move to Fagat to make the fact that you belong to the country, or you might get an avalanche of invitations to the state-sponsored evening party, or you might be given the impression that you are taking orders from the government. "Night Party: ......" A request to take down a tree is one thing, but an evening party?¡¡Don''t be absurd, it''s a pain in the ass just to ask. And the clan house will be on Fagat''s island, will it be free? "Well, even if the upper class is favorable, the nobles, the people, and the country are all in trouble, so it can''t be helped. On the other hand, this temple is good, after all, I am a one-man operation. Is that a bad temple or a good temple?¡¡I have never heard a bad word about the temple in the fast, so is it a good temple? "I''m a magical swordsman, and I don''t think I have a shred of temple stuck in me." "Temple knights, temple fighters, temple apothecaries, and temple-attached medicine men of all talents are highly sought after." "......" No facial expression, no inflection, no pause, no rave or anything like that. ....... "I promise you that the Temple of the Fast will not bind you in any way. You will not work for me, but only pretend to belong to the temple as a favor to you. Fortunately, the nation of Fagat is favorable to you, and you will be able to roll along in name only. I would like you to be aware of the fact that if you are not careful, the government may order you to take down the temple. If you do not do so, your freedom will be compromised. Val, god of the winds, does not want that." Gghh. I thought it was just going to go through the hole, but it turned out to be an unexpected hole, so what the hell. "An oracle. Why do you obey the oracle? That''s like asking why I became a priest. "I''m going to do what I''ve always wanted to do, okay?¡¡I''m not actively killing beasts or anything." I don''t care. If you feel that belonging to the temple is too much work for you, you can leave." Well, if it''s the same as before, I agreed in the end. The exchange with His Eminence Kyle was tiring but interesting. It''s funny but also tricky, and it''s a strange situation in that it''s tricky but also convenient for me. "Sorry, I''ve kept you waiting so long. Let''s have dinner." Since His Eminence Kyle is going to eat as well, I''ll be taking the two Lapis Noel members by transfer with him today, instead of by horse-drawn carriage. I hear that High Priest Kyle can use as well. Zucchini flowers stuffed with potatoes, cheese, and bacon and deep-fried. You can also fry minced meat and onions, grind them with Parmigiano cheese and bread crumbs, stuff them and bake them. It is good to put nothing in it but a batter of flour and deep fry it. Unlike the zucchini itself, the flowers are literally short-lived, so enjoy them when they are in season. Well, it will not deteriorate if you throw it in your luggage, so it''s just a mood. A few kinds of meat, char-grilled with salt and pepper, and claimed to be gibier style. In this world, gibier is just meat, since it is not distributed in packs in supermarkets like in the real world. Salad mixed with shredded green papaya, bucket, light vegetable soup. Mulberry jam so dark purple it looks black and yogurt ice cream. I fried some of the fried food that I didn''t even need, and when I lightly slapped the hand of the fryer who was crunching the fried food soaked in Dudu''s garlic sauce, and it turned out to be His Eminence Kyle, what was I supposed to do? It seems that His Eminence Kyle just wanted to participate in the "nibbling", but the two main culprits were in a hurry to shove the evidence (fried chicken) into their mouths and were fainting from the hot gravy or rather meat fat. I would like to say to Lapidus and Noel, "Don''t grow up like this," but aside from Reno who is out of the regulations of the human world, on the one hand he is the top cardinal of the temple, and on the other hand he is a man of great valor and personality who is known as the . One can''t help but feel that something is a little bit wrong with the world. 137 - - The Neighbor Today we are planning to get together for the acquisition of the clan house, but only Ochazuke and Peter have arrived yet. Ochazuke has been working on improving his level of [architecture] all day long. He sold off some of the casino''s prizes to make some money, and left it to Sil to raise the level endlessly. However, he did not stay in the casino for a long time because there is a weekly limit to the amount of time he can stay in the casino. Ochazuke tries to stay as much as possible during everyone''s log-in time. I think that the limit is unavoidable because too much immersion in this world can interfere with the real world in various ways. I have never bothered with the restrictions because they are almost irrelevant to working people anyway. Ochazuke has been working hard to raise the level of [Architecture], but now that he has collected the materials for each clan house, he can''t wait to ask the residents for <<>. Ochazuke has decided to open a small store and is currently looking for land. Since he is not a producer, he is planning to make money by selling materials and by selling <> during the construction rush that is expected to come in the near future. Since there are many production jobs for equipment or consumables used in battle, such as blacksmithing and sewing, they are planning to start selling them ahead of time and hoping that the demand for them will be concentrated. Currently, the number of gentile stores is increasing and there are many applicants, and the construction to expand the plot to the southwest seems to be going well. When the construction is completed, it will be opened to the gentiles as a new commercial area. Among those involved in the construction are exiles who were protected during the slum clearance, and are now living in communal houses facing the western wall built by the temple, the lords and the commercial guilds. Once the commercial zone for gentiles takes off, they expect to be in demand as store employees. ......The guild leader, Moss, was troubled by the fact that many of the exiles are children, but he believes his fears are unfounded. I can''t imagine a gentile (player) hiring an adult male in his prime, but I wonder if I am being poisoned. I also want to play around with the glassworks. But first, I need to sell off the materials I won''t use. I could have made it in time if I had rushed to Trinh''s store in the evening, but Lapidus and Noel were happy to see me, so it''s all good. As it turns out, I don''t even have to pass by High Priest Kyle. I heard that parties have been going to the fifth level of the labyrinth recently, and there is no problem to sell off the materials up to that level, since the labyrinth materials are still expensive, including those on the way, and I would like to sell them off quickly before the price goes down. The problem is the materials after that. I can sell Seedle See Dorn''s <<>, <<> to Princess Kikuhime, since she should be warm in her pockets. The < of Seedle See Dorn goes to Peter. <<>...... is not very good, because it is not a straight sword, but a western style dagger, and no one in the clan uses it. Peter and Leo are the only ones who can use it. ...... ask Leo, I believe he sometimes uses something that is not a dagger. < into a weapon for me. I guess the and of salamanders, the of a black, poison-spitting dragon, and the <> of Far Farshi are for clothes or light armor. I heard that <> of salamander will have an additional fire effect if it is thrown into the furnace during the production process, I should give it to Ruba. <><>. What is the difference between a cage and a small hand? A kote is essentially the part of the human body from the wrist to the elbow?¡¡Oh, the instep part is missing. I think kendo kote has a part of the instep, but is that how it is divided here? Well, okay. <> has STR up, and has a damage compensation when bare-handed or knuckles are equipped. Yes, I don''t use it to the fullest. <, but it is not for me. As for the way to use it, maybe I can use it as a material for production and rewrite its ability?¡¡It would be better to give it to Shin. <<> has an unparalleled defense for a pommel, and an additional effect of strong poison on melee attacks. I am an evasion type, so <> or > is more attractive for me to equip. Looking at Peter, I think that poison is also good. I''ll take the materials for the three orcs in the tenth level of the labyrinth to my neighbor (Elias). Zodiac is at the top of the list. Well, Ochazuke has always been good at what he does, and he and Karma, with whom he often hangs out during the day, have been talking about it in a good way in other games. All the members of the clan are the type of people who like to go to new places and are not afraid to go back to the dead. Even Kikuhime, who is a fan of her own character, is a bit of a strategy player in general, but it is a situation that I did not expect. Is it because Leo''s wish to go through the forest at the beginning was heard, and as a result, all of them got the spirits with the overall recovery effect in the early stage of the project? It''s like Leo, though he often gets me in a pinch. I get off the wagon with such thoughts in my mind. We go to the next door neighbor via the temple without masks. We are less than ten meters from the door and yet we have to take this detour. I didn''t think of going out the front of the closed store, but I finished producing for sale until I finished consuming the materials, and when I was about to leave the liquor store, I received an educational instruction from Cal. I don''t know what it is, but there are a lot of suspicious gentiles around the general store and around the liquor store. Is it because of what happened in the arena?¡¡It was a bit troublesome, but not all bad since the amount of attribute stones for purchase had jumped up. When I opened the door of Elias''s store [Atelier], it was full of customers today. Or rather, the Flame King, Gilweitzer, and Krull were there, being praised and questioned. Elias seemed to be doing maintenance work on his equipment, ignoring the customers. "Good evening, Elias. I''m here to sell some materials. Avoiding the three very popular people surrounding him, he calls out to Elias behind the counter. There was nothing in the list of the counter''s automatic purchase function that matched what I wanted to sell, but there was a sentence in the description that said "Boss drop equipment and labyrinth materials are available for separate consultation. "Hello, it''s been a while. You are more than welcome." He glanced at the crowd of people surrounding the Flame Kings and was invited to the third floor to avoid the noise. From below, I could tell that the second floor was a store, but I wondered if the third floor was also a store, but it was not a store but a personal space that only those with permission were allowed to enter. The room is a mixture of Chinese and Western styles, a chinoiserie, if you will. "It was in that state before I logged in, I couldn''t kick them out because they were all my customers and I was getting a little tired of them purposely retreating to the back when there was nothing there. He poured tea from a white pot. I see a set of Chinese tea sets on a tea table, but I wonder if his preference is for black tea. "Hmm, my friend made it for me. But even though I have the tea sets, I don''t have the tea. I see, Fast (here) is a western culture for the name of the country. Elias explains, perhaps noticing that I was looking at him. It is true that there is no Chinese tea except jasmine tea. I think the jasmine tea was a brownish tea with a floral flavor added to black tea. Is it more of a flavored black tea? "If there is black tea, then there are tea trees, so I have a feeling we can make tea. "Oh, really?" "It''s the difference in the degree of fermentation, isn''t it? I am not familiar with Chinese tea, but I have heard that the black tea Red Premium was made from the Japanese tea "benifuki". It is said that the black tea was fermented in the shipping to import Chinese tea and became black tea, so it is probably the same tea tree. The difference in taste may be due to the variety of the tree and the climate. I''ll have to look into it." "But if the people of the fire are here, are there enough drops in the labyrinth now?" "They are here for equipment maintenance. Any number of labyrinth drops are welcome. My friends have asked me to buy them when I have a chance, so I''ll even buy materials I don''t use if you sell them to me. Hmm?¡¡That girl?¡¡Which one?¡¡I am a little bit hesitant, but I tell Elias that he can feel free to play anything he doesn''t want, and I arrange the materials I want to sell in the buy/sell window. As usual, I leave the price to Elias, as it is a hassle to put it on the list. I wondered if it was because I had not logged in yet that Daichi, Haruna, and the other holy priest were not here, but I guessed that they were at different stores if they were doing maintenance on their equipment. Oh, that reminds me... Koreto. "By the way, do you have to process non-transferable weapons by yourself?" "Hm--, No, it is possible to make a request for production without transferring the ownership like you did with the small hand of power. After it is processed, it will be treated as a separate item and can be transferred. Elias replies with a price, keeping his eyes on the window. "I don''t know if this is what it looks like. I''ve priced the first item I saw a little higher than the others, but I don''t know what the demand is for it, so I''m sorry if I''ve priced it too low. "No problem, thank you." I have been slacking on my market research and don''t know what I''m talking about. However, since items in the labyrinth are rarely sold on consignment, and are often sold directly to the producers, I have to negotiate with several sellers to do my research. Then there is the bulletin board. "So ......" "Sorry, sis." I was about to ask Elias to process the << when Gilweitzer and the others came in. "Sister?" "Oh, Homura?" "I didn''t know you knew each other." Good evening. "Good evening." At any rate, I return the greeting. "You can call me Elias over here." "Oh, I''m sorry." When you came in, you looked like Gilweitzer. Or maybe they were sisters. And I don''t want to know the real gender, but the gender of the character. Please tell me if the flat chest is just flat or not. Are we interrupting? No, I''ve just finished my business. He looks at the exchange between Elias and Gilweitzer and answers the Flame King''s confirmation. "There was a fox evolution stone as a prize for second place in the arena. "Oh, you''re going to pay me a tribute?" "Don''t be absurd, you''ll lose your points!" "You''re a celebrity now, aren''t you?" "You''re a bit of a pain in the ass!" "And you can''t get rid of Elias''s customers in Elias''s store, can you?" The Flame King still has a fine wrinkle between his eyebrows. Over here, the three of us are conversing while watching the exchange between Gilweitzer and Elias. Elias is also trying to be a fox, and it certainly looks good on him. "Well, it can''t be helped. I''ll just put up with it and think of it as a tax on my fame. "I can''t help it!" The Flame King says with a sigh. I''m sorry, that tax is overdue. 138 - - 136. Validation of Effectiveness "They''re as close as ever!" "Because Gilweitzer ultimately can''t resist Elias." Watching Elias lightly tease Gilweitzer in Elias''s store while playing. Commentary is by Mr. Krull, the Flame King. "Who was that who made a fuss in my store just now?" "No, that one got me in trouble too. ......" "Oh, no?¡¡You seem to be talking differently?" "Ugh, I''m a little confused by that one too!" I wonder, is Gilweitzer''s "lady" character forced by Elias to do this?¡¡Did you lose a bet or something? Currently, Gilweitzer is being extorted by Elias for a . A slender, white-skinned figure of unknown gender is holding a closed fan - or is it a fabric fan, since it is covered with a silky cloth?¡¡--It is not perverse, but it is a funny exchange, but it costs a lot of T points because it is a prize released for the second place. Or rather, you need all the T-points for the second place. "You can get the beast evolution stone, fox, for 500G at the casino. I''ll help you out by reminding you of the bet, though it may be a muddy boat. "Look, look, Elias!¡¡He says you can get it in production jobs!" "Really?" Gilweitzer turns Elias around by holding his shoulders with a smile, dripping with cold sweat. "There were many other prizes for production workers in the casino. The workbenches and furnaces were of a higher rank than those purchased from the fast dwellers. "Oh, I guess I have to fight enough to get permission to move around the country." "We''ll escort you out so you can get around!¡¡I''ll help you!" Gilweitzer is desperate to shift the prize from the tournament to the casino. "I can handle the bosses in this country while escorting them. It might take more time to travel than to fight a boss. The Flame King says, "It looks like he''s going to join the escort. "Yes, I''ll ask Daichi and Koreto to join us." Haruna will stay at home, which is appropriate since she will need a shield and recovery. The members of the firefighters are meeting the other three here, so we talk for a while over a cup of tea that Elias has brewed again. I was about to leave when I was stopped by the Flame King. "Sorry, Homura. Can you sell me just the curry?" Oh, I thought you were fidgeting when you saw me, but it''s curry. "Okay, but what kind of curry do you like?¡¡Beef?¡¡Pigs?¡¡Bird?¡¡How spicy?" "I''m glad there''s a lot of beef. A little spicy." "Okay, I don''t have anything on me right now, but I can give it to you next time I see you. Or, with your approval, I could leave it with Elias?¡¡I''m pretty dizzy." The materials are in the warehouse of the store next door. It''s next door, but it''s hard to get back there! "Oh, Homura, you cook too?" "Yes, mainly cooking, alchemy, and medicine, but I''m not very broad, am I?¡¡And I took [carpentry] at the casino." "Why are you a carpenter?" "I''ve decided to have a house in the clan, so I''m just going to do it." "Great, where did you get it?" Gilweitzer, freed from Elias, settles down. "I''m going to be on Fagat''s island." "The bungalows?¡¡The island of giant trees?¡¡The oddly shaped rocks?" Kii-iwa is a type of house built in a rock like a spire jutting out into the sea, like Arsene Lupin''s Kii-iwa Castle. can build a room anywhere as long as the entrance faces the outside!¡¡I am planning to build my private house in the cliff that covers the island. It''s exciting to think about what kind of house to build, and while the strategy is fun, it''s fun too. "It''s an island of giant trees. "Oh, no, that''s nice." "We want a house too! "I hear Roy''s place is working on a house too." So says the Flame King. It seems that the fever for the house has spread to all the members of the fire company here. Roy and the others had six pots because they were spinning around to get the Houses. When we met them, there were only six people in the party, but Kikuhime told us that the number of producers has increased with the addition of new members to the clan. They must have been humming the wheel to get items for the members who couldn''t go to the labyrinth. "But how did you save up all that money? I don''t have much because I bought all my equipment. When he decided to participate in the tournament, he reequipped himself with all the equipment except for the party''s defeat reward. He spent a considerable amount of money even after selling off the equipment he had worn until then. "Yeah, I took it off, but the rest of us won the arena bets." So Homura is in debt? "No, I saved up at the sale, so it''s not a problem." "Hmm?¡¡Can you save that much by selling drops?" The Flame King asks with a surprised look on his face. Fagat''s island is much more expensive than other countries, so much so that even the most successful production clans are a bit hesitant. Even if you are actively trying to get materials that can be sold, you will not be able to save up unless you are conscious of it, as money comes in and goes out quickly when you renew your equipment and replenish your supplies. "I think there was a limit to the amount of money you could sell on consignment.¡¡Consignment to a store owner?" "Oh no, that won''t save you much either, will it?¡¡Producers who buy materials also have their own stores, or intend to have their own stores, and their purse strings are tight now. Combat workers are more willing to pay for equipment, aren''t they?" "Oh, you don''t have to tell me how to make money if it''s a special way, okay?¡¡Information is valuable." Gilweitzer adds. "No?¡¡We just have a regular store and sell it." "Oh?¡¡I wonder where. If you tell me, I''ll go buy it. Next door. Hmm?¡¡Where is it?" The Flame King asks back with a puzzled look on his face. Or is it just because the vertical line between his eyebrows has disappeared? "Next door." "Next door is [Kenya], right?" "Next to the one on the other side." He points toward his store. "That''s Lengard''s store, okay?" "Yeah." Gilweitzer and Krull ask suspiciously. "Lengard is my producer name." Without the mask, he changes into the white equipment he showed in the arena. The four men freeze. "Don''t tell anyone, okay?" Test posing with a finger to the lips. "What a joke!" "I wonder where I can get that design?" "I like it. Do you have the black one?" "What do you mean, ''what are your abilities''?" "Well, the matching equipment is going to cause a fuss. If you don''t want to tell me, I won''t tell you, but where are you going to wear it?" ...... I guess I posed badly. I can''t get them to believe me, but here goes. "No, no?¡¡It''s him." Homura. "Hmm?" The Flame King puts his hand on my shoulder and calls my name with a somber face. "Sure, we''re alike in height and hair color, but..." "It hurts to be an impersonator, doesn''t it?" They don''t believe me! Either this is the effect of Asha''s mask, or it was simply my bad first move! I can produce it with the Lengard name on it. You can wear the name, you''re copying me there. You''re really hurt. "We can also make <> and <> at ......" I showed them the front view of the arena and other physical evidence that I was a Lenguard, but they didn''t believe me. Is this the final answer to the effect of the mask? And finally. "Ugh, Gil did the samba!" "Hey! Don''t wear the sequined bra! "Why me? Over here, you guys are wearing pantaloons and dancing the lambada!" "Hey, all three of you, stop coming at me, samba rhythm, hip swaying, bit by bit!" Looks like the samba has the upper hand. No, no. It seems that trying to associate me with Lengard interferes with my thinking. I am confused as to why this is happening. It seems that in the Flame King and Krull, Gilweitzer is dancing the samba in his sequined B...... costume, and in Gilweitzer''s mind, the Flame King and Krull are dancing the lambada together. In Elias, too, the three samba dancers are apparently pressing him. .......... "Thank goodness I had nothing to do with that." "No, I don''t know why, but you''re a party to this, aren''t you?" Just as I''m about to imagine it, I''m choked up by the Flame King, who presses his temple with one hand. "Gil''s samba is turning into belly dancing, so we''ve got to do something about it! "Ugh ...... pink spot!¡¡Krull, don''t drag me into your delusions! "Geez, I don''t want to see that! Reversible reactions inverse irreversible reactions irreversible reactions inverse reversible reactions both reversible and irreversible reactions are chemical reactions!" "So why me!" Elias began to distract himself with rapid speech. He''s not thinking about Lengard anymore, is he?¡¡Even if you stop thinking about it, the thought pollution(?) doesn''t stop?¡¡At any rate, the <> turned out to be quite powerful. "Is this okay?" Equip the mask in front of him. "......!¡¡Lengard!" < has been cured, but another confusion has begun. I told them as they asked me, but I thought it would be OK with them. I was able to verify the masks, and I saw some unusual things. Besides, I could ask Elias to produce the equipment without worrying. I feel better. Let''s just calm down for now, shall we? "You don''t say £¡£¡£¡£¡" "Ugh!" The Flame King slashed at me! "Kyaaa!¡¡Hey, don''t go wild in my store!" "Outside the arena! The guards will come for V! Watch out! This is the one to get cut! Don''t use it as a shield! Just the right size! Using Gilweitzer as a shield, he avoids the Flame King''s slashes. Gilweitzer stops the Flame King''s sword by holding it between his palms. You don''t have ......, do you? "Yeah!¡¡Gil!¡¡Get out of my way!" If you don''t stop now, I''ll get cut! Just get out of the way! First, the sword! ""Nun-nun-nun-nun."" A fierce battle between the two began. "It''s hard work in such a small space!" He slips quietly out from behind Gilweitzer and takes a breath. The two men run amok in the room without breaking any of the tasteful furnishings, especially the Flame King, who wields a bastard sword with great dexterity. "You''ve got a good personality," he says. Krull says to me in a tone of exasperation. "I''m a very modest person. "May I [appraise] this equipment?" "As long as you don''t say anything else." "Of course!¡¡I can''t [appraise] ....... It''s a very high rank. Elias looks disappointed. It seems that the source of the item is so high in rank that it is difficult to see its ability unless the owner or the [appraisal] level of the item is high. I wonder if he can appraise his hands and boots. Don''t relax! The Flame King and Gilweitzer yelled at me. You two have a high synchronization rate. 139 - - The Big Tree Island Good evening, I''m Homura, I''m in the middle of an interrogation. The interrogation was accompanied by more tea and fig tarts. At any rate, you have my word not to tell anyone. "Considering what just happened, no matter how much I appeal to the authorities in this world, they won''t believe me, but they''ll think I''m crazy. I won''t do it. The other three promised in their own words not to tell anyone. "So?¡¡Why are you pretending to be N!C? I never called myself N! "Do you know the members of the clan?" I know who you are. "And they didn''t say anything about it?" "No, I don''t. We''ve known each other for a long time, and when we play together we adjust our abilities with equipment so we don''t end up taking away our enemies. When we played games where you could make a second character, I usually switched between the two characters and adjusted their levels." The level of my long-logged-in oatmeal and my tendency to stay in and repeat (ham-ham-ham) battles are all over the place. In games without a login time limit, Ochazuke even goes to the third character. Leo is a habitual fall-asleep criminal, Kikuhime is an early riser compared to me, and Shin is often in the morning because of his work. Peter is a maniac and his level of skill is slow. Usually, I and Ochazuke and I keep the first level up to the level where we can solo, and the second level up to the level of Leo and his friends. If they are not in the same level range, the fun of the party strategy is reduced to half. However, if they wanted to raise their level, Ochazuke and I would switch to a high level first character and have a hellish boss tour. We heard that the low-level players would be left to attack and protect themselves without attacking to gain experience, but neither of us had a taste for being beaten up without talking. The watchword of the boss tour is "don''t die anyway. No, well, that''s important if we''re going to conquer the bosses together. ...... "I think you''re missing the point of concern. I got a subtle response, but I don''t know why. "I''d rather hear how it happened." "Because you met the inhabitants and happened to meet the gods one after the other?" "You''re a questioning type, aren''t you?" I answered honestly every question with the Flame Kings. Last time Elias asked me a question, but when I told him that the equipment was designed by Garganos, he seemed to be spurred to cross the country. I thought it would be better to tell him where Galganos was, so I told him about Pasto, the place where I had business dealings with Galganos. Well, even I could have found him, so it would have been easy to find out if I had asked some people in Navai. "...... heh." Elias lets out a small laugh. "What?" The Flame King looks doubtful. "You six guys look like a pot-bellied squadron." "I sent Elias my best shot." I got a little tired of interrogating them, so I gently send a picture of the six of them right after the pot was set off. I like the way they move their hands with the items, which makes them look like they are posing as if they are in a Sentai Mono. "pot ......" The Flame King is disappointed. I have already shown a few pictures to prove that Homura (me) is Rengaard (me). The pot is not my fault, okay?¡¡You can complain to Roy. "You''re doing a great job!" "...... You''re not going to tell me that during the battle, you sometimes stopped moving because you were taking SS?" I''ll keep quiet. Gilweitzer, who had stopped drinking tea, asked me with half-lidded eyes. "The reason why you looked so godlike and good-looking in the tournament was because you never told us. "I was praised." I didn''t compliment you! I got a little embarrassed, and the Flame King denied it. I thought he was complimenting me on my good looks, but I guess not. "He''s complimenting you, he''s complimenting you." "I don''t like N!¡¡But Lengard was the only one who cared. Well, I guess it doesn''t matter if he''s so flashy. And it wasn''t even N!C." "Shut up!" The Flame King, whose brow is furrowed with wrinkles, has one thing on his mind. "You don''t like the residents?¡¡Why?" It''s not that I don''t like N!C in general. It''s just that I don''t like the nc''s that players bring with them. The Flame King, discouraged, stabs the tart with a fork and cracks it open. "Why again?" "It''s a little bit of a dungeon where the parties in Faina''s party cooperate with each other. I remember it was just before we met you guys in the labyrinth. "It''s strange that you''re so strong, but you''re just following the player''s lead. It''s disgusting that she follows the player''s unreasonable orders for some reason or another because she''s half-human, even though she shouldn''t be human anyway." "Oh, by the way, you can force me to call you out. Why don''t you just get mad at the players instead of the residents?" I don''t know what kind of situation they are in, since I have never called them even though I have been called before, but "with a reason" means that they are fighting while mumbling about the reason after the fact, which is in accordance with the residents'' reckless demands. That would certainly be absurd and distasteful. "It''s a game, it''s a system and I''m not saying it''s wrong to use it. I''m not saying it''s wrong to use it, it''s a game, it''s a system and it''s not wrong to use it. The Flame King drinks a good cup of tea like it tastes bad because of the story. "You''re playing games. It''s more fun to treat people like they''re normal people in this world. I say, unsure, as if there is some kind of conflict I don''t know about. I don''t know about conflicts, but I know that it is more enjoyable to act like a normal human being without worrying about the details. Galahad and the others, the guys at the general store, and the other residents who are getting to know each other. I like them because they all have their own personality. By the way, I can''t decide whether the Flame King is honest or cynical. ¡î ¡î ¡î ¡î ¡î ¡î ¡î ¡î ¡î ¡î ¡î ¡î ¡î ¡î ¡î ¡î ¡î ¡î "Well, the first place is expensive, but I like the first place." "There''s plenty of land there." "That''s what I want, too." "Me too, me too. There was a stream on that island, I want to release some fish and go fishing!" "I think we could build a treehouse there in addition to the house. "That''s fine with me. I can do my ninja training without being seen." All the clan members have logged in and are looking around at the land Fagat is releasing to the gentiles (players). The lands are small islands scattered around, and transportation is by small boats. The boat is guided by a staff member of the Fagat Commercial Guild. Perhaps because of the higher prices of the islets in Fagat compared to other countries, we did not meet many visitors to purchase land to build other houses. Well, maybe it is because we are traveling by sea, not by road. Shin and Leo logged out on the casino floor yesterday, so you can guess the outcome of their bets. No problem, since the house funds were deposited in oatmeal earlier. Beautiful cobalt blue and white clouds. The sea connecting the islands is so clear and shallow that you can see the bottom of the ocean if you look down. The depth of the sea is still about 4 or 5 meters at the deepest point. The man with log-like arms who paddles the boat is said to be blessed by Val, the god of the wind, and the boat glides along the sea at a good speed, aided by the wind-battered sails. The boat glides along the sea at a good speed, aided by the wind-filled sails. And you don''t have to worry about getting seasick. "So, I guess we''re registering for the first island, is that correct?" "Yes, please." Ochazuke answers on behalf of the staff. Since the floor plan was decided during the waiting time for the games of the tournament, Ochazuke has already prepared the . As soon as you buy an island and decide where to build it, you can start tinkering with the house. When we first went to see the island, we almost decided on a huge tree growing in the center of the island as the place to build. In any case, we liked the tree so much that the island was our first choice. The layout of the house is simple. Entrance hall, kitchen, dining room, and living room on the first floor. Downstairs is a production facility - this is the one that Ochazuke, Kikuhime, and Peter have given away as casino prizes to the clan members who are free to use the production equipment they use. The kitchen facilities are also of the three-person casino specs, as I have provided the and we all eat there-- seven rooms, including guest rooms, on the second floor. If you want to expand your own room, you are supposed to get a for each room. We proceed with the purchase procedure in a room that looks like a temporary office of a commercial guild. What do you want to do about the landing place?¡¡I can also show you where you can purchase a small boat." The clan master, Ochazuke, has just signed in when a commercial guild official asks. "Can I ask you to do it later?" Yes, I can. "Then I''ll ask for it later." The catalog-holding official smiles, but does not look a bit disappointed. <, the expensive equipment will have to wait for now. Especially since the two guys who would be happy with a small boat are short on money again. The only thing I ended up picking out of the catalog is shared storage for the clan house. After completing the formalities, we move to the islets. While most of the islands are about the size of a house, this one is five times the size of those islands. Well, some islands are almost ten times larger than the others, so they are not the biggest. There are even larger islands that can accommodate multiple clans, but they are cheaper than the smaller islands that can be occupied by clans, even though they are larger. The price is reasonable, and there may be a demand for a fighting clan and a production clan that are in partnership. We move through the water again and land on the small island that is now ours. There is no landing place, so we have to walk a little in the shallows, as we did when we came here for a preliminary inspection, but we are happy to do so. The boat carrying the staff left with the words, "Please contact the guild if you have any problems. The guild of commerce has some options, such as warding off the entire island to prevent strangers from entering, or to detect strangers when they come ashore, but no one seems to have a boat at the moment, and the residents say they don''t bother to come to this place, so nothing has been done yet. The house, like the store, has a lockable system, so there is no need to do anything. But then I found out that a senior thief can open a normal lock. There are also "thieves" who choose to be thieves for a living, and I wonder if it is because I am Japanese that I am tempted to call honest adventurers "thieves" and thieves "tozoku". I was told by a commercial guild that keys have ranks. I heard that the default key rank of a store is higher than that of an ordinary house, but I''ll give it some thought. I''d like to get a [warding] as soon as possible. "Hi-Ho-Ho! £¡£¡£¡£¡" "It''s an island in the south. ???? £¡£¡£¡£¡" Two men run toward the sea after having just landed. "Yes, yes, yes, after we set up the house!" Ochazuke-sensei leads the way. It seems to be hard to lead with free students mixed in. The white sandy beach that borders the island is short, and it is among giant trees and boulders that one''s sense of size is quickly lost. The smallest island with giant trees looks strange from a distance, as if trees are growing out of the sea. We chose the slightly larger island because when you look at the island, the larger one looks more like an island (????). You feel like you are smaller than one or two giant trees. We pass under the roots of a tree thicker than we are, and head for the tree in the middle of the island, which is the biggest of the big trees. Even the moss is soft and fuzzy, but about the size of broccoli. There is no need to worry about getting lost, as the guild staff guided us through the moss we stepped on the last time we landed here. It is a small island, but everything around it is so big that even if you look at a map, it does not make much sense because you cannot go straight because you have to go around the trunks of huge trees or your way is blocked by big rocks. "It''s huge, isn''t it? "It''s a strange feeling." "I''m glad we went into Abu Qusen, I''m glad." "If we went anywhere else, we''d be there in no time. The four of us walk around talking. If we had not won the arena bet, we would not have gotten this island. Even the smallest of Fagat''s islands might have been difficult to purchase. Especially for a pair of broke people, it would have been either Fast or the city of Isle, which would realistically be at the front line. The two are not part of this conversation as they keep running from place to place and back to us. Don''t disturb the moss too much. "I feel like a dwarf." He says this while looking at the trees stretching their branches far overhead. "I feel a little ...... like a cormorant, too." "There''s two of them, but they''re not getting anything." You know, don''t you? We are open for business today. 140 - - The House "What height do you want to make it?" I look up at a huge tree, one of the biggest and thickest on the island. "Around the third branch that intersects with the branch of the tree next to it?" "If it''s too high up, the branches will get crowded, is that appropriate?" Ochazuke and Peter, who are also looking up next to him, answer. "Let''s hang a rope from the branch so we can slide down! "Oh, wow!" "Yes, yes, after it''s built." Ochazuke chides the two beastmen who are getting excited for nothing. "How are we going to get up there?" "Shall we put a spiral board on the trunk up to the branches and make it into a staircase?¡¡Straight is too steep." "Great, can I ask?" "[Carpentry] isn''t up yet, so I guess we''ll have to wait a little later." It turns out that without basic [woodworking], it is quite difficult to improve skills. "Well, let''s just build it this time. <." "Hey!¡¡Let''s climb!" "Wa-ha-ha-ha!" The duo quickly takes up the trunk. They were going up the trunk quite fast, but came back slipping on moss. The two climbers were the fastest, but they slipped in places and went back to the start, so Kikuhime was the one climbing steadily. ......Kikuhime, she seems to be climbing completely by force of arms, and the trunk is dotted with the marks of her three fingers (thumb, index, and middle). She is a young girl who is climbing hard if she does not notice the hole in the trunk. For now, stop wearing skirts and put on trousers. "Well, it''s not Shin, but I want to put a door at the base of the tree and build a bunker. "Yeah, I like that." Root vegetables of carrots, onions and potatoes, ham of prosciutto, bresaola and pancetta, cheese of gorgonzola, pecorino and asiago, the sound of a cellar is full of delicious dreams. Sunlight is the enemy of poison. "By all means, please put that on another tree." Peter''s dream was not food, but a trap. But that ham, that cheese... I''ve been doing away with it for so long that I''ve learned its name. In the real world, when I order something, I don''t have to remember it because I see the actual thing or a picture of it. It''s not like I buy it everyday. When I order cheese at a restaurant, I usually just say "assorted cheese" and that''s it. But not here. It''s convenient when you are looking for something when you are shopping, or when you are producing something, you have a stronger image of the product if you know the name, or maybe you are compensated based on the name, but it goes well and seems to be stable during the work. Maybe it''s just a jinx of my imagination. "Hey! We''re here! "We did our best." While I was talking to Peter, the three of them seemed to have reached the branch. "I''m coming." With that, Peter (????) runs (?????) up (????) the trunk of the tree. "Oh, that''s not fair!" Ochazuke shouts. Ochazuke, a saintly priest, is weak in arms and lacks dexterity. He is not good at climbing trees, and is still around the first root. "Good, excuse me." He < on the oatmeal stuck to the tree trunk, grabs the clothes around his back, and [flies]. I could do the same thing, but it''s not quite steady yet. "Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god!" I kindly lifted it up and it gave a funny scream. "Well, can we set it up so that the front door is right around here?" "Ok baby!" "It looks like it''s going to be buried in the tree trunk a little bit, like we planned." Come on, come on, come on." is a red jade that can be used to build a house in a tree or a rock. Ochazuke brought the materials to the resident architects during the day. Blank red balls are made from <> of rare bosses. Defeating the bosses produced ten eggs, but it took two eggs to make one blank ball, so I kept spinning around until two eggs appeared. I also tried to make some money by selling the blue eggs <> to Roy and his friends. The red ball does not damage the tree, and the trunk can be restored to its original state once the house is removed by reinserting it into the empty <. A number of large wooden boxes appear attached to the tree, facing the tea pickles. You can put roofs, walls, and windows on these crate-like things with <>. At the very least, the roof and walls must be attached or the durability of the box will deteriorate. "At any rate, I have come up with a budget-friendly, so-so roof and walls, based on my own prejudice. Change them when you save up the money." <, the box I had just seen was replaced by a simple house with wood-framed walls and a black slate roof. And not only the walls and the roof have changed, but also the exterior of the house, which looked unstable on the branches of the trees, has been changed to a simple house with tree branches and joists (?). The new building is supported by a small wooden structure, which makes it look less unnatural to be there. "I think it''s rather good this way, don''t you?" It blends in with its surroundings." I thought it was a good idea, so I said it honestly, and Kikuhime seemed to agree with me. "Let''s build the second floor on top of the first floor, what about the lower floor?¡¡It would be dumb to build it in line with the first floor." "Oops, I didn''t think of that. "We''ll shift it so that it''s inside the trunk of the tree!" I think that''s a safe bet." After some changes to the original plan and layout, the box is completed. We enter the entranceway with much merriment. The inside of the box is still wooden, since we did not use <. "Should we put a at the entrance (here)?¡¡Do you want it in the living room?" "We might have guests, so why don''t we just use the front door?" Anywhere!" I wonder if Leo is willing to think about it, let alone Shin. This is what a man who lives by his senses looks for! "I can see a future where people won''t use the front door if we put it somewhere else, so we''ll just use the front door." I have a feeling about that. "Well, since we''re here, let''s go outside." As a result of Ochazuke''s vision of the future that comes from laziness, the <> is placed at the entrance. "Am I supposed to register the transition and set up the house for visitors for now?" "Please." "Thank you." I''ll take care of the furniture and other shopping transfers. "Oh, let''s all go shopping!" We look around the living room and dining room on the first floor and lightly discuss our plans. The living room is quite spacious, as there can be six people in a party when there are visitors. The living room has two twigs that run from the wall to the roof, which looks like a treehouse and is quite nice. It also serves as a dividing line between rooms that are too large. "Well, let''s all go to our own rooms!" "Oh, yeah!" Shin and Leo fly to their rooms like bullets at Ochazuke''s words. "Are you sure Homura is okay with a windowless room?" Peter, a neighbor walking in the same direction, asks. Peter is right, my room is the only one completely inside the trunk with no window. "Yeah. I''m going to have my own private house, and if you want to see the view from here, I''ll build a small treehouse on the upper branches. And I can add more rooms in the next room." The rooms can be added later, but since they are not on level ground and would be awkward if they grow sideways, they are supposed to be added to other branches or trees, or in the trunks. My room is at the end of the trunk, so it can be added next to the trunk. My room is in the northwest corner and Peter''s is in the southwest corner. Leo and Shin are planning to build a tree house in another tree as a second house, so they will be placed next to me across the stairs on the north side, which is a little less sunny. The two rooms on the east end are occupied by Ochazuke, Peter''s and Ochazuke''s rooms, and Kikuhime''s room and guest room facing south. Kikuhime says, "If I have money for more rooms, I will use them for clothes. Ochazuke says, "Leo and Shin are broke and can''t afford to build more anyway." So Ochazuke, Peter, and I had a corner room. Since we each have our own private rooms, Ochazuke has already paid for two rooms. I had a feeling that he might have more money than I did. If you are diligent and skillful, you can make money just by buying and selling without fighting for production or drops. It requires forecasting and calculation, such as buying items that are likely to increase in price while they are still cheap and letting them sit until they are in high demand, and Ochazuke''s method is a way of earning money that I cannot imitate. In addition, Ochazuke chooses the production that is in high demand or that will not run out. I am a brainiac who prefers to fight rather than to examine. When I enter the room, I find myself in a box again. The room is originally quite spacious, but the walls, floor, and ceiling are all made of the same material, making it look even more spacious. It feels strange. During the free time of the competition, we discussed the floor plan, and since we already knew the size of the room, we built the partition walls with <> according to our memory of the diagram we wrote down at work (explosion). I am the annoying customer who rushed into Trinh''s store as soon as it opened and pointed at the catalog. The wall divides the space for a bath, a washroom, and a bed on the far side of the room. On the wide entrance side, I want to put a three-seater sofa and a low table so that I can lie down and relax. The dark brown wooden walls match the walls of the partition, as well as the floor. The square ceiling is to be replaced by a sloping ceiling with beams. There is no window, but it has a nice attic-like or cave-like feel. I wonder if I have a longing for attics, like the rooms in the store.¡¡Maybe it''s just the excitement of a secret base, but it''s a side of me I didn''t know existed. At Trinh''s store, I also bought a for a private house. This is the entrance for now, and a corridor from the entrance to taste the inside of the rock, since we are planning to build it in the cliff. Kitchen, dining room and living room. I will think about the others later. After that, we move around to do our own shopping and everyone else''s, buying beds, sofas, carpets, and so on. I even bought a stone fireplace even though it was still hot. I have no money!¡¡Shin and Leo, who were very concerned about the price of their drop items, chose a place where they could sell them at a high price, and after several battles, Shin''s logout time came, so the party broke up. We parted ways with Ochazuke and Peter, who were going to sell and produce, and headed for the store. That''s right, I finally bought a set of bedclothes for my room in the store. "Welcome home, Master. As I descend the stairs after successfully setting up the bed and futon set, a beautiful man of indeterminate age smiles at me serenely. Well, the dragon next to her was just about to take a piece of baked cheesecake in his hand and put it in his mouth. These two seem to be constantly deploying their "presence detection" and other more accurate detection skills, so it''s no wonder they''re hungry. Thanks to this, there is almost no trouble even though the restaurant is always crowded when it opens. I''d like to mention, however, that the only thing they devour ...... is sweets. "Welcome back, Lord." "Welcome home." Today, too, they sold out before the scheduled closing time. Lapidus and Noel were there, too, hugging me from both sides. I pat them while saying "I''m home" to them. Lapis has soft and fluffy hair, while Noel''s hair is moist and silky. I imagine that Noel''s tail must be like that, too, and resist the temptation to pet them as much as I want. "By the way, I received several messages from customers saying , did you win the tournament? Leno asks as he delivers the message. I looked at the transaction history and saw that the one-word messages were also full of congratulations. I''m a little happy to see the straight congratulations, since I remember more from the audience that I was given a title that was not ......, a strange nickname. "Yeah, we won!" "Congratulations, my Lord." "Congratulations, Lord." They look up at me and congratulate me, hugging me as if they were leaning on me. They look up at me and congratulate me. "Congratulations! "If you don''t, it''s me." Cal even knows that you made the flowers fall, the speed of rumor is not to be underestimated. "Congratulations! Illusions, threads, and mystifs?¡¡Mistiffs are tricky when they are hidden." "Thank you, White is a big help. By the way, how was the restaurant? "Nothing has changed, but I think they are selling out a little faster. A little embarrassed, I change the subject, and Noel gives me a report. We spent the rest of the evening talking about white and Fagat''s princess until it was time for Lapidus and Noel to leave, since Leno already knew her. I don''t know when to sit down with people hugging me from both sides, so I''m trying to figure out if I should stop using a chair and sit on the sofa or on the floor with a carpet and cushions. But I don''t have the space, so I''ll have to start working on the third floor of the liquor store. But I wonder, if I install a sofa, will I be stuck on both sides of the sofa all the time? I wish you would refrain from staring at me with sparkling eyes as I struggle with my desire to lean on you. And now I have to log out and go to bed, I''m going to be in trouble tomorrow morning. 141 - - The Disease of Flame and Heat The road to the small country leading to the isle was closed. Knowing this, we had come along an old road that had been abandoned long ago, but it had already been turned over to us. The old wizard whom Galahad and the others called "the One" had lived longer than the road itself, which even the local elders had almost forgotten, and he knew this country better than anyone. Not here either. "I guess we finally have to go the way of the Golden Dragon Paltin." "......" Camilla''s consciousness is so clouded that she cannot even walk. She is now on the back of an eagle. Whenever she comes to, she appeals to the men to leave her alone, but they do not listen to her, and she has to carry Camilla on her back along a road that is not a road at all. "It''s easy to get through here, but if we make a scene, he''ll hear about it. If that happens, they will be suspected and pursued in earnest." "...... let''s hope Partin isn''t home." Until recently, the three of us had never thought that his knowledge and wisdom could be used for anything other than good. He does not doubt them. He is not doubting, but he is just a little bit suspicious. That little bit is what got them to this point. They have a clean reason to do it, not to keep the three out of the country, but to make it look like they are doing it for the good of the country and the people. As long as they are pretending to be good, they cannot dispose of Galahad and the other three, who are in good standing. This barely saved Galahad and the others. If they cannot escape to the Isle, the only destination left is Barron, the labyrinth city of the Principality of Turkey. The only way to get to Baron is to cross the Parthin Mountains, but compared to the bountiful northern foothills, the mountain peaks and the mountainsides on the southern side of Baron are steep, perhaps reflecting the temperament of the golden dragon Parthin. The only way out is through the hunting grounds of Pultin the Golden Dragon. Pultin the Golden Dragon is more full of energy than Narung the Blue Dragon and Grasha the Fire Dragon. If he is found, he will be deadly, especially now that he is in the mating season when he is more aggressive. The sea route to Norgjell, the continent where the elves live, was closed long ago when that man (...) was driven away. And then I noticed that my fellow knights have been disappearing like missing teeth from a comb. Galahad and the others wonder how long this country has been undermined. ¡î ¡î ¡î ¡î ¡î ¡î ¡î ¡î ¡î ¡î ¡î ¡î ¡î Good evening, I''m Homura, and I''ve arrived on the island of You-Know-Who, dashing across on my Reno. Yes, I rode the dragon and flew over the sea!¡¡......I don''t think of myself as dashing because I''m more used to seeing humanoid figures than dragon figures, and the image of the "visceral shuffle" is more prevalent than the dragon figure, I understand. "Shall I put it around here?" "Are you going to build it in the cliff?" We walk through the oak forest and look up at the sunny cliffs. We have hunted a lot of tasty meat metal jacket boas to get here. Reno was playing an active role in the battle, and I was just trying to figure out where the boas were, using a combination of [presence detection] and [thread]. While Reno was fighting, I found the next boa and repeated the [lure], and caught quite a lot of boas. Yeah, both Reno and I had lost sight of the objective. "It won''t destroy the landscape, and it''s like a secret base, isn''t it?¡¡Mistiffs might not feel comfortable if they can see houses where people live." <, a small wooden door was attached to the cliff as if it were a back door. Later we will plant a thin tree and some ivy by the door. "No, well, I guess we could just live here on the island.¡¡But I think what Mr. Partin was talking about is the < that will be created inside the House." "That way." Houses and purchased stores can come with features. Like the greenhouses, these spaces can only be entered by authorized persons. I''m interested in the possibility of farming and cattle ranching there. I don''t have any information on how the house itself is actually < since there are only a few people who have recently acquired the house. I can''t help what I''ve already used, I''m too lazy to go back to get a new <>. Opening the door, we find, as designed, a small entrance and a living room beyond it. There is also a kitchen and other facilities, but it will be useless if the application to acquire it is not approved, so I use this for now to record it for proof. I have already checked around the island to make sure that there are no other buildings on the island, so I think it is safe. So let''s go to Barron''s and submit the application. "Yes." Submit your documents to the Adventurers'' Guild closest to the island for review. They have to wait about ten days to receive the results, as they have to contact each country to see if there are any other owners. If the property belongs to a country, it should be marked on the map, and if the property belongs to a private individual, the right to the property disappears when the building is no longer there. The guild is notified that both of these have been verified and the documents are submitted to the guild. "Well, that''s all done for now. Thank you. "If it passes the screening, we''ll be just in time for the full moon." "If you don''t make it in time, it''s fine.¡¡Mr. Paltin said the next full moon, but that''s too short a time to find an island and build a house. The deadline should be an expectation, not a serious one. Even if the Mistiffs stay at Mr. Paltin''s place to be safe during this full moon, they can be scattered by moving to the island, even if their attributes are biased. Until now, the only difference between moving to an island and staying in the mountains was whether or not there was a strong or weak presence of Pertin-sama." "What? You could have chosen a little slower." "It was going to be too late for the next full moon, or something like that." That''s why I kept quiet, says Reno as they walk together toward the temple. After hanging around the fighting pits and the clan house, and after a few days of gentile-like sleep (logging out), it was natural to be concerned, but I couldn''t say anything back. "Hmm?" "What''s wrong?" "No, I got a text. Who is it?" Since it was late at night today, all the clansmen have logged out except for Peter a little while ago. I open the mail, wondering if it is Peter''s logout (good night) mail. It was from Galahad. A friend called me. He is at an inn in the city." "It''s unusual to see you looking so blue, what about me?¡¡Do you need help?¡¡Shall I go back first?" Reno asks. In the e-mail, he wrote that Camilla had collapsed and was unconscious, and that he should come immediately. "No, she seems to be lying alone. From the text messages, it doesn''t sound like the other two are in good condition either. Please come with me just in case." The fact that it mentioned a place other than the Ichinokaku inn, where I usually stay, makes me a little suspicious. If it is the same thing that happened with Cal, I would involve Reno, but it is too late now when Cal is in the store, and if all three of Galahad and the others were sick, I might not be able to help them alone. I''m sorry, but I''m going to have to ask you to stay with me. We hurry to the inn and go to our room. The inn was located in an inconspicuous place, a little off the street. No one was at the reception desk, and the inn looked a little seedy. Sorry, please come in. I knocked and called out to Galahad, who immediately welcomed me. The two of them looked exhausted after meeting for the first time in a long time, and even had dark circles under their eyes. What''s your side? "This is Dragoneut Reno. He''s a very disciplined, serious, and loyal man." He looks a little strange, but Reno tells him he can trust him. And while and , Eagle also seems to have sacred magic that they could not afford to cast on themselves. Or perhaps they did, but the stress was too much for them. ...... They were put on the bed, and there was no response to Camilla''s calls. Her make-up is dripping with sweat, and her face is upturned and her eyebrows are furrowed. Just by looking at her, you could tell she had a high fever. "What''s wrong?" I''m sorry, I''ll have to ask you to stay with me. The only way to cure Camilla''s fever is to take the heat away from her with the fruit there. "Are you going to take Homra to that volcano of burning heat and fire bombing?" Reno interjects accusingly.¡¡Are you a little mad at me? "Homura had [fire suppressor] and [environment changer], right?" "Yes, I have." Reno looks at me with a startled look on his face. I didn''t understand the expression of a dragonet at first, but recently I''ve gotten used to it. Fire Suppressor halves the damage from fire, and nullifies the effects of climate and terrain damage such as lava. The [Environment Changer] reduces the effects from the environment such as scorching heat, extreme cold, humidity, etc. that affect the physical status of the user. ...... Is this title rare in the eyes of a long-lived dragonut?¡¡Perhaps? "I see, with those two titles, I can clear that harsh environment." "Of course I''m not going to let you go alone. We can benefit from the title effect as long as we stay close to Homura." "Huh?¡¡Maybe they''re attached to you the whole way?" I imagined a very unpleasant picture. "The further away you are, the less effective it is, but you can''t fight it. "I''m prepared to take damage, and I''m going to bring a lot of recovery medicine with me." Galahad took over Eagle''s words. Oh, by the way. "All right, I''ll go with you. But only if you equip yourself with this." Gently, he hands Galahad and Eagle each a small piece of cloth. "What is it?" "What is it?" The two men accept it defenselessly. "You got it!¡¡All right!" It was [Non-destructible] but not [Non-transferable], and it should have become [Non-transferable] when Galahad and the others received it. Leo''s friends and acquaintances were having a hard time dealing with it because they all already had it, since Leo was turning it in. And this one was a sacred object. "Hey, Homura!¡¡What the hell is this!!!!!!!" "Homura-kun?" The Eagle''s "Kimi" has been resurrected. "I''m not in the mood for tomfoolery right now!" "No, no, no, I''m not kidding." What part of this is not a joke? Galahad, who was coming at me with his hands open, banging open the golden boomerang pants, the piece of cloth I had given him. Eagle collapsed next to him. "What''s wrong? Galahad was startled and asked Eagle about it, but Eagle remained motionless, clutching his silver boomerang pants and nodding with all his limbs on the floor. He seems to be carrying a shadow on his back. "...... more capable than my current equipment. ......" Yes, you''ve seen their abilities. I didn''t know what to do when I first saw it. By the way, the gold and silver pants that came back as a free gift are better than the purple pants you dropped, as promised by the fountain. ...... is a nasty word to use for pants, performance. Galahad looks at his own pants with a doubtful look on his face. "[All Climate Resistant] ...... Divine Instrument ......" Galahad also collapsed next to Eagle. 142 - - 140.Movement "May I ask you something?" "What?" As I was wiping her sweat while trying to help Camilla recover once more, Reno spoke to me, with Galahad and Eagle, who were still recovering. My recovery has the effect of healing illnesses, but Camilla doesn''t seem to be getting better, whether it''s the fact that I can only take away the heat with <> or the level of my recovery is too low. "I''m a dragonut, but I was proud that I''ve become relatively good at applying various patterns to human subtleties..." "Yeah?" You can read the air better than I can, Reno. But the nuance of your words suggests that you were not expressing emotional sympathy, but rather making an assumption based on your experience. "For the sake of posterity, can you tell me why these two men are clutching their underwear and devastated?" "...... Why is that?" I know that Reno is eager to learn, but this is a difficult question to answer. Moreover, it is terrible when put calmly into words. "...... I am devastated by the fact that this piece of cloth performs better than all the equipment I have worked so hard to acquire. And when I made a life-threatening decision to go to Mount Huaguo, the absurdity of the problem being solved by a pair of underpants. Above all, I can''t accept the reality that I have to wear these from now on. A very weak voice came up from below. "I don''t understand why my hardships, worries, weaknesses, and struggles that have been going on for a while now have to be solved by pants. ......" A tired voice crawled up from next door. It''s funny, I thought I was recovering and refreshing earlier, but why are we both so tired?¡¡I think, "What is this? Just store it away when you''re not using it!¡¡There were three of them in my luggage, which bothered me immensely, but now that I finally have a purple one, I''m kind of relieved! "Is it really that great ......" You look awfully suspicious, Leno. "If you want to see it, go ahead. I can''t give it away because it''s non-transferable." Eagle, who seems to have recovered a bit, offers his pants to Leno. "It''s quite a surreal sight." Whose fault is it?¡¡Whose!" "Yes!¡¡Why the pants!¡¡If this had been a cape or normal equipment, it would have been acceptable!" I mumbled something and my emotions got the better of me. "It''s not my fault, okay?¡¡Tell that complaint to the Goddess of Shame." I''m one of the bewildered ones! "Wow, [Resistance to all weather conditions], [Steel Body], and [Musubi Body]. The defense is also unparalleled. And it also has [charm], [non-destructible], and [non-transferable]. ...... is indeed a divine weapon. Why he has two of these is a mystery. Reno is stunned by the performance of the boomerang pants. No tweaks to the pants?¡¡Is it okay that it''s pants? The [Steel Body] and the [Demonic Body of Yui] are increases in physical and magical defense, respectively. The purple pants I have do not have such a high defense, but since they have the same effect, they can beat the white equipment in terms of defense alone. If I have to say so, it is weak against mental anomalies. The defense alone was much better than that of my equipment when I got it. And instead of the defense being lower than that of gold and silver, the effect of "charm" is uselessly maximized when it''s fully exposed. What is she thinking, that unfortunate goddess? ......How about the charm that doesn''t work when it matters most? Is it recommended to take off half of your clothes? "There''s no point in staying here anyway. Shall we go to my store?" "Shop?" "Oh, I remember you said you were going to open a store in Fast." Eagle says as if he has an idea. He did not give details because he did not start the general store in earnest until after he and Galahad had defeated Far Farshi. Homra, that store in Fast is convenient for us. Even he can''t touch the temple and guilds of Fast. But it''s not good news for you. Galahad says with a serious face, and Eagle tells him of the disadvantages. "We are dealing with a wizard who is over 1,000 years old. We''re not clearly hostile to them yet, but from the looks of things, they''ll probably try to kill us just as soon as they meet us. Is the guild an adventurers guild?¡¡I''ve never met the head of the guild in Fast, but I wonder if he is a messenger?¡¡Presumed name Mr. Mac-Donald . "Me and Cal are fine, but I''m a little worried about Lapidus and Noel." "It''s uneconomical, but Galahad and the others are banned except for transfers. It''s a little late for that, don''t you think? "Oh, you always do ......, then there''s no way they''ll know where you are." Reno agreed. If they are enemies with the wizard, presumably Merlin, then the three of them are not knights chasing Cal, and we have no problem welcoming them. "Are we going to involve them?" It''s too late for that. That''s why I came back to my store. I moved and put Camilla in my room. The bed she had never used became her sickbed. "I''ll ask the clerk downstairs to take care of Camilla and then we''ll leave. I want you to rest assured that nothing will leak out, including Reno. Yes, please. I''d like to say hello too. "Hey, ......! "Lord, who are these two?" Greetings to the waiter on site. Cal is squinting, wary, and his voice is lower than usual. Galahad and the others seem simply surprised. "Ah, so you know each other. I heard he escaped from a wicked wizard." He waves his hand in the air and quickly announces that he is not in a hostile position. Why are you here? Are you all right? I wasn''t safe, but I am now. I wasn''t safe at the treatment site either, but I''m safe now. "Lapidus, there is a sick man in my room. Can you manage to change her? In my robe for now." Something like an emotional reunion began, so I decided to do my job. I am somewhat embarrassed to see tears welling up in the eyes of Galahad and the others. Camilla is still equipped for battle. I have used life magic to make it clean, but it''s not suitable for sick clothes. I want to change her, but I can''t take it off myself. For the time being, I decide to leave Galahad and Eagle alone and take care of Camilla, whose thoughts seem not to have caught up with Kal''s appearance. "Lift her up on your back, Lord." Like this? That''s it, I''m having a slightly naughty shounen manga protagonist-like experience of supporting Camilla''s body while blindfolded. LAPIS instructs me to lift up her arms, legs, etc. Yes, I''m blindfolded, so I can''t help but touch myself in all sorts of weird places!¡¡The blindfold is making me paranoid, doctor. "Lord, I''m in trouble. I don''t have any underwear." "Boom!" "Can I just wear a robe?" I feel Lapidus tilting his head. No, I''ve cleaned up with that [life magic], you didn''t have to take off your underwear, Lapidus! Camilla, are you naked under the robe now?¡¡No, before that, were you naked before you put the robe on!¡¡I was lifting my unclothed legs! "Do you mind if it''s a drop from a demon?¡¡I don''t know about women''s underwear." Gently pulls out a scanty of a succubus with a lust for pleasure. I think I was quite confused when I put out the scanty. I wonder if Asha''s "glimpsing instructor" had worked in this situation. "Hmm. No problem." I''m glad to see that Lapidus is so nonchalant, but I''m also worried that he might do something terrible. "Lord, Lapidus, you did your best. I finish dressing Camilla, who is thrilled and pink, and when I remove the blindfold, Lapis hugs me and buries her face in my clothes. Her ears are twitching, as if she wants me to pet her. "Yeah, you worked hard." In more ways than one. You''re doing a great job. I pat him on the head. Noel likes to be stroked gently, but Lapidus likes the top of his head between his ears to be stroked a little harder, including the ears. What''s the excuse for the succubus scanty when Camilla wakes up: ....... "Ittee-tet-tet-tet-tet." I went downstairs to find Galahad holding Cal by the head with a magnificent iron claw. How did this happen after the emotional reunion? Galahad is teary-eyed in a different way than before. "You son of a b*tc*, of all people, you''re bothering the Lord!" Get off me!¡¡Old f*cker!" Geezer?¡¡Cal, how old are you really? "Geez!¡¡It''s creaking, creaking, creaking!" Beside Galahad, Eagle was drinking tea gracefully. Noel or Reno must have served it. He was making a lot of noise, but did it bother him? Eagle seems to be used to it, but Reno and Noel are also driving normally. "Lord, Lapidus, welcome back. How are you? Noel notices me and offers me tea. "I''m just getting her dressed and putting her down for the night. You''ve got a terrible fever, as they say. I thought a fever over 40 degrees for more than three days could cause brain damage.¡¡Men can''t have it either. Or is it different from the real world because we have a tolerance in this world? "<>" is a disease, but it is a outbreak of fire. If you are lucky, the fever goes down as if nothing happened, but when you wake up, the fire is gone and the M! is also reduced by half. If it doesn''t go down, the fire inside me will consume my life. Camilla is still okay. "Fire seems to be a strong attribute. Are they going to be okay? "It''s hard to say. After all this time, I''m starting to think that this disease might be artificially caused by that ...... wizard Merlin. The reason why Lancelot-sama was targeted first may be because he is the only knight who doesn''t have the fire attribute, in addition to his strength and popularity." At last the name is out in the open, and it comes with a "sir". That''s not easy. Sorry to drag you into this. Sorry to drag you into this. ......" What? "Homura, why is that man here?" Eagle smiles. "Because I hired you as a bouncer?" "I''ve never heard of a man with the name of the mightiest knight being a bouncer in a grocery store!" "Oh, my God!" He grabbed me by the cheeks! "It''s lively, isn''t it?" Reno, who is drinking tea without a care in the world. Noel and Lapidus look at me and Eagle and seem to be at a loss as to whether they should stop. The night at the general store is colored by the screams of Galahad and me. 143 - - The Volcanic Fruit Mountain "<> is it ......?" Unusually, Cal''s brow is furrowed. After dropping Lapidus and Noel off, I told him that I was going to <> to pick up the <>. "I''ll stay behind, since I''m a liability in terms of my attributes." "Unfortunately, so am I. I''m rather resistant to a little bit of fire." Is that it, or is still involved with Cal? You''re a human, but you''re water? "The three of us will be fine!" "The difficulty of conquering <> is mostly due to environmental problems." Galahad is his usual self in front of Cal, but Eagle is a little more formal. Cal seemed surprised by my [fire suppressor] and [environment changer]. Is it really so rare?¡¡First defeat title indeed? "I don''t know what kind of a place < is, but I guess it''s safe to trust it to a couple of guys in underpants, maybe." "Lord, it''s ......." "It sounds like we''re not wearing any underwear." I guess I didn''t say it right. Cal was stuttering and Galahad and Eagle were looking away. So, leaving Cal and Reno to take care of things, we set off for <. Incidentally, there is a warning message for <> in the quest. When Galahad and the others ask you to do something, a bar appears on the menu along with the quest display, and it is decreasing by a small amount. The bar will decrease faster from the volcano, so you must hurry when you get to the volcano. In other words, Camilla''s disease will not progress now that the time attack has not yet begun in earnest. Probably, as long as she does not go to the volcano, she can make it in time for the next few days in real time. Well, I''ll be there tomorrow because I have to work in the afternoon after being late today. I stopped explaining the story of Cal and Galahad and the others, saying that it is not important now, but I guess I should have listened to it. Well, it is okay if I don''t listen to it, since there seems to be no old enmity between the two sides. I am also worried about Camilla, and the sooner she gets better, the better. < is said to be at the tip of the Duchy of Tarkant, where the labyrinth city of Baron is located. We will be transferred to Baron, and from there we will be able to ride the cavalry. "Did Mr. Reno go all the way to see us off?" "It''s a long way to Mount Huihuaguo, it''s necessary." "We''ll take the cavalry and avoid fighting along the way, okay?" The four of us hurry through the city as we talk. "...... ugh, I''m out." No, Reno is already out, so we''ll just leave it out and fall back in?¡¡There''s me, wanting a ride on Galahad''s tiles. Apparently Galahad and Eagle think that Reno is following them to get rid of the dew along the way, but it''s not true. I resisted, remember?¡¡But Reno said, "Master Pertin''s orders. I am your cavalryman, remember?¡¡Or do you think I''m no better than those two cavaliers?" I could not refuse him because he showed his mysterious pride as a cavalryman. "Well, let''s go." In a secluded spot outside the city, Galahad calls out a tile, a big tiger with beautiful fur as ever. The white wolf of the Eagle, Hagar, is also fluffy. I would love to be buried in its fur. The wolves are easy to get used to and are very attentive to their owners'' wishes, and many of them ride alone. Tigers are a little harder to get used to, but they are strong enough to carry two people. Eagle Hagar is large for a wolf breed and can carry two people, but we don''t want to burden him. That is why I would like to ride on Tile. In the real world, the structure of the backbone is different from that of a cow or a horse, and no matter how big they are, they cannot be ridden by a dog or a cat. As a matter of fact, you can''t even ride a zebra, because you would hurt your spine. It is said that only animals that have been modified to be able to carry human beings or cargo can ride on zebras. ...... I wonder if elephants have been improved. "Homura is on tile with me ......" I am reluctantly beaten by a serious-looking Reno. "What?" "What?" "After you." After leaving a few words of greeting to Galahad, Eagle, Tile and Hagar, who looked blank, Reno started running. They are cute, the two of them. "Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo ......" I shouldn''t have been thinking that, I had to put some pressure on my abdominal muscles or they would take it away. The visceral shuffle is a real test for me. But it''s not an ordeal I have to take, is it?¡¡Again, I want to ride the tiles. "Well, I''ll be on my way." < He seemed to smile triumphantly when he saw Tair and Hagar, but he did not want to compete with the cavalry. I don''t understand Reno''s values today. "If you weren''t in such a dire situation with Camilla, I''d have a lot of questions for you, wouldn''t I?" "Same to the right." Galahad and Eagle call out to me as they return the cavalry. Oh, I wish they had let me touch them before bringing them home: ......!¡¡My healing! "I''ve been through a lot." I''ll get what I came for first. Yeah, I know. Are you sure you''re going to be pursued? I will never disclose my status! < As you go through the caves, bat monsters sometimes pop out, as well as mice and snake monsters that eat them. I learned for the first time that there is a food chain among demons. After a while, the blackened rock surfaces started to turn orange in spots, as if flowers had bloomed in some places or fossils in the ground were glowing. "It''s getting hotter." "Yeah." The orange that begins to mix is evidence of high temperatures. It is an orange of fire and heat, and if you touch it, you will not be burned. Perhaps it is the effect of the title of [Environment Changer], but after a certain temperature is exceeded, the feeling of heat becomes rather moderate. Galahad and Eagle are beginning to sweat. The effect of the title of [Environment Changer] is that the closer one is to the holder, the more comfortable the environment becomes. The effect is only "mitigation", but perhaps because I have [Fire Suppressor], I no longer feel hot after a certain level of heat. But they are coming closer and closer to me. "If you''re going to wear them anyway, why don''t you wear them sooner rather than later?" "Ggh." "Well, it''s time to make up our minds." When the orange color started to mix with the fire, big rats and big snakes with the fire attribute started to appear. These are the Huahua rats and Huahua snakes, demons with blackish bodies and orange markings that look like lava peeking out of their faces. It has a similar appearance to this cave. The more or larger the number of orange markings on the body, the stronger it is. "Hey, Homura?" "Homura, why do you keep your distance?" "The picture is even worse than I thought it would be!" What a pervert. His crotch shines gold and silver. The back view is also awful. I can''t help it! "You can''t change what''s in your back." Galahad and Eagle are talking like this, but they are not looking at each other. Galahad wears gold boomerang pants and flip-flops that look like toilet sandals. Eagle wears silver boomerang pants and the boots he usually wears, or is it sabatons with shin guards?¡¡Anyway whitish metal shoes from the knees down. "Unexpectedly, Eagle is more perverse than Galahad." "......!" "Wahahahaha!" "d*mn ......, I''ll buy sandals first thing when I get back!" That means he''s willing to wear it a second time. And so, we finally began our full-scale assault on . "Aaah!¡¡It''s shifting, it''s shifting!¡¡It sticks out: £¡£¡£¡£¡" "Galahad, do not go before me!¡¡Something unpleasant is in sight!" "What the f*ck!¡¡Even you ......" The following exchange, which is unbearable to listen to, is restricted to the public. I watched the terrible scene from behind from a distance. Today I am a magician and a healer, because I don''t want to mix with them. I don''t want to be mixed up with them, because I don''t want to be in their sight. Galahad and Eagle, who move their bodies in close proximity, seem to have a hard time getting stuck or displaced whenever they step in or dodge. "Hey, I heard that it fits better if it''s in an upward angle, right?" I''m not saying what. "......,d*mn!¡¡It''s absolutely crazy! "It''s not my fault that the sacred object (it) is pants-shaped." He shoots a [ice magic] level 35 <<> at the fireflies that jumped into the fireflies. The ice is very effective because of the location. "I should have been so worried!" "Camilla fell, and I thought I was going to bleed out!" Galahad strikes at the enemy with every word. "Yes, indeed!" Eagle also cleaves the enemy to the side while saying. "What?" What is "totally" about?¡¡The two men cast ice on their weapons, wondering what to do. I had never used enchantments before, but in this place with its strong attributes, there was a big difference between applying them and not applying them, so I applied them again before they wore off without any trouble. "I''m pants as soon as I see you!" "When I was offered a hiding place, Master Lancelot was there." "On the way to Mount Huaguo, there''s that cavalry beast!" "<>, pants (this) again!" "Seriously, I don''t have time to be in a hurry to worry about Camilla: £¡£¡£¡£¡£¡£¡" "Absolutely!" I''m starting to think you two are getting a little desperate, is that okay? "It''s okay to be bothered or depressed in your underwear, because it''s hard to deal with.¡¡Pants complaints should be directed to Fal." "What?¡¡This divine instrument (underpants), was it from Fal, the water god? "The goddess that Master Lancelot favored!" They are surprised and look a little panicked. They are a little panicky. ...... I just told them off, but I wonder which other god they thought it was from. 144 - - Battle of the Lava Zone "Oh, my God!" Galahad gets a tail from a fireflower serpent. "Fal, the god of healing who presides over water, was a fragile young goddess, though I too received his blessing!¡¡Not as much as Master Lancelot, but I got a word or two." An eagle slashes away a fireflower serpent. "Thank you for your dreamy opinion." The remaining fireflies shoot <<> at the remaining fireflies. Due to the strong fire power of the place, I have the impression that ice magic such as <>, which usually has a strong effect on the surroundings, is weakened. Instead, <>, which targets only demons, does more damage. It seems that demons themselves are weak against ice. I tried a bit of [Feng Shui] in the cave, but the green I changed was quickly swallowed by the hot orange. If we live there and keep playing it, maybe it will become a green land - or rather, a green cave - but we can''t afford to do such a leisurely thing. "Wait a minute, wait a minute." "...... Homura, for what it''s worth, the image I just described is the image most people have of the goddess Phal." "Well, am I supposed to be impressed by Phal''s image strategy, or am I supposed to warmly watch him dance around it?" "...... sorry, let''s not talk about this." Galahad was the first to look away. "I agree with that." "I''d like to ask Homra at least once what he thinks of the gods, but I think I''d be doing myself a lot of damage if Homra''s opinion extended to Asha." "It''s not an opinion, it''s a fact." Asha was a pantywaist, but she''s reformed now. I''m glad you two are together," I think to myself. It''s a warrior''s mercy. Small streams of burnt and molten stones flow, small streams of lava branching off and covering the destination. Was this the practice of the dungeon where the foot of the labyrinth was covered with water?¡¡This time, not only is movement impeded, but failure to choose a sure footing can also result in damage. In addition, hot steam and splashes of lava bubbles sometimes cause damage and < anomalies. The environment became harsher with each step, as we repeatedly passed through large spaces and the caves that connected them. The flow of lava is not a concern since they are <>, but the occasional rupture or explosion damages both of them. The boomerang pants have [All Climate Resistance], so they are not affected by the < in this environment. As he says, "If I had more time, I''d avoid them, but I don''t now," he drinks the <> and proceeds onward, even though he is hit by the bouncing lava. Although it heals quickly, the moment I hit it, I could smell the smell of burning meat and ...... it''s a lie, it doesn''t smell that delicious. Well, anyway, they seem to be in pain, but they go on regardless. The actual "fire suppressor" effect halves the damage from fire attribute, climate such as scorching heat, and terrain such as lava, so I just follow behind with no damage, HAHAHA. I''m not. At the moment, my job is to fight enemies and heal myself during the recast of the medicine. s recovery is as good as ever. I''m sorry to just follow along, but [Fire Suppressor] may have some influence on the party, and [Environment Changer] is supposed to mitigate the damage from and since it mitigates the environment of scorching heat, extreme cold, high humidity, etc. that affect the physical status of the people. Yes. Without it, the recovery time would not be enough even after taking <, and we would have had to go around the lava explosion point. But, well, the most effective thing was the boomerang pants with [All Climate Resistance]!¡¡It is more effective to have it by oneself than to have the effect of my title. The fact that all three of us are able to cope with the environment makes the speed of movement astonishing, I''m sure. "Oof!" Galahad''s sandals caught fire from the lava spray. "What are you doing? Eagle says in disgust and recovers. "I''m down to zero durability!¡¡Well, it''s not combat gear." Why don''t you wear your regular shoes?" "...... barefoot is fine." "......." There are signs that Eagle is trying to make pants-boot friends, a subtle reversal of the usual position. Galahad''s shoes are like heavy safety boots, or maybe the sword is heavy, but the armor is rough with few metal parts. "But thanks to the pants (these), I''m able to fight with my enemies, and thanks to the homura, I''m able to fight with the H! I don''t have to worry about the decrease of H! If I had come here in the state I had imagined at first, I would have been in a hurry, and I would have lost H! If I had come here in the state I had imagined at the beginning, I would have been irritated because of the decrease in H! "It must have been hard to go on in that condition, observing where it might burst." "You don''t have to force your pants to be a good story, okay?¡¡I''m in the position of an honest and funny story." "Homura." "Yeah?" "Don''t tell Camilla!" "Of course, Homura, you''ll keep quiet, right?" "I don''t mind keeping my mouth shut, but what about Cal and Reno?" Galahad was at a loss for words when Cal confirmed the preparations for the attack on Mount Huihuaguo, which was not an interrogation ......, and Reno simply told him about the existence of the pants. I will never forget the indescribable expression on Cal''s face when he saw them. "Wooooooooo!¡¡Too nasty!¡¡Homura, don''t you know anything about his weaknesses? "Well, what do you think?" Carrots?¡¡I''m not sure about green peppers either. We talk nonsense, but we keep going. The enemies are not as big or strong as the bosses in the labyrinth, but they are naturally stronger, such as the salamander, which is one of the strongest enemies along the way. The number of enemies is also increasing, though they are stronger when they have small, star-like clusters on their foreheads than when their bodies are covered with a wide orange pattern. Galahad is making light talk, not complaining, but I can see that the two of them are fighting harder than they did on the way to Fer Farsilut in the labyrinth. In front of them is a huge firebird, <>. "I have a feeling of a boss who is very good at self-healing ......" "d*mn!¡¡I''ve been told it''s going to be a long battle, and we don''t have a lot of time. Take your time. [Spirit Magic] Darkness <, [Time Magic] Level 35 <, [Ice Magic] Level 5 <>. If you had used <> diligently without slacking off, you would have been able to use highly effective <> at level 30 with the emergence of the [Grantor] profession. ...... Let''s reflect on this for a moment. Before the start of the battle, H!?M!? Drink each potion and cast any auxiliary magic you can think of. <><>>" In the same way, Galahad invokes the spirits of darkness and uses their ability to increase his offensive power. When he uses magic, the phoenix begins to attack, signaling its presence. The phoenix spreads its wings in a menacing manner, further inflaming the flames it is cloaked in and sending sparks of fire into the air. The battlefield is large enough for the phoenix to fly, but there are many puddles of lava here and there underfoot, and there are few footholds. Are we supposed to climb up stone pillars here and there to fight?¡¡Some of the stone pillars seem to be usable without anything on top, while others, like the oddly shaped rocks in Cappadocia, are lined with slightly flattened rounded rocks on top. "<>" There are magic spells such as [heavy magic] and [wind magic] that can knock down flying enemies, and [heavy magic] level 30 is probably the most effective of all the magic spells available right now. The phoenix falls just as you aim. Just as it is about to touch the ground, you invoke [Tree Magic] level 20 <> to keep it on the ground. I don''t like to use this magic in public, but I hurry now. "[Astute]" "[Steel Strike]! Eagle and Galahad activate their skills without a pause. "Ah!¡¡Shit!¡¡He''s getting away! Galahad readies his great sword. The rose tendrils that were supposed to hold the phoenix to the ground burn up in a flash, and the phoenix quickly flies away. "My attack managed to get in, but I guess I''ll have to climb up that stone pillar..." "It''ll make them resistant." If you keep on applying the same abnormalities, they will become resistant to them and gradually become ineffective. Sooner or later, will only damage them and they won''t fall. Change of policy. Eagle is faster and more dexterous than Galahad, and is already accustomed to moving with <> on him. Galahad seems to be getting used to the fighting moves, but is having some difficulty coordinating his moves to climb the stone pillars. "Ugh!" He grabs Galahad''s arm and runs up the stone pillar. Feeling a sense of d¨¦j¨¤ vu, I leave Galahad at the top and jump to the next stone pillar. Considering that Galahad has to step in and swing his sword, we can''t be both on the same pillar. When the phoenix flaps its wings, a strong wind with a vortex of fire is generated. The strong winds cause total damage, and two of the six pillars are hit by , which causes damage and slip damage. It seems that those who are in the pillars toward which the vortex of fire is directed can stop the attack, climb down from the top of the pillars, and hide behind the pillars to escape. "Homura, as long as <> is working, it will heal itself, so please attack." In close proximity, if the phoenix leaves the stone pillar, the attack will not reach it. It is more efficient for me, who has magic (enkiryo), to consistently cut them down. I thought I could use wind magic against flying enemies, but it didn''t do as much damage as I expected, so I ended up charging <> and firing it repeatedly. Both Galahad and Eagle have long-range attacks such as flying blades and air bullets. I thought I had done enough damage, but then Phoenix jumped into the magma pool and hit me with a H! He went full. "Oh, shit!¡¡What a pain in the ass!" "Take your time. Let''s make sure we get there. Eagle nudges Galahad again. "Either we''ve got to knock him into that hole before he jumps in, or there''s got to be some way to plug that hole." "I think it''s the blocking one, the rock on the stone pillar is shaking even though it hasn''t been hit while the phoenix [flame vortex] is in place." "Oh, so we just lead them to the stone pillar by the magma pool." "Okay, I''ll lead the way because it''s easier for me to climb up and down." Please. Is there an angle of guidance or something?¡¡[Inducement] Do you think it will work? 145 - - The Fruits of Fire Result . I could not guide him alone. In the end, the three of us went downstairs and stood in front of the stone pillar we wanted just as the vortex of flame was coming. After drawing the vortex of flame close enough, we hid behind the stone pillar and passed it by. ......Yes, I had a close encounter with two men with a little too much skin color, but it can''t be helped. I learned later that the [flame vortex] preferentially goes to the stone pillar where one-half of the party gathers. Water Magic] level 30<>, supposed to be a weak attribute, but half of them were vaporized before it reached Phoenix. If the conditions are even, water is strong against fire, but if not, water may repel fire and weaken it. Even with white equipment, I can''t seem to reach Phoenix. Well, it''s level 30. Wood magic level 30<> doesn''t work against Phoenix. Fire Magic] heals and absorbs, and [Wind Magic] damages Phoenix, but it also causes lava to roll up from below and heals a small amount of it. Earth Magic] <>--does not work on flying enemies, but <> is effective to knock down flying enemies. Gold magic <> vaporizes Phoenix with little damage. I use magic while guiding it to the stone pillar as an experiment. What I did not expect was the [wind magic], but at least the ranged magic is affected by the surrounding environment. It is true that there are hot winds and cold winds. "[Warrior''s roar] [Sword of Swords]!" "[Ao no fuki]!" The Phoenix launches a full-scale offensive by covering the magma pools it uses for recovery with rocks. The rock gradually burns orange from the bottom, perhaps there is a time limit to defeat Phoenix until the rock is broken. Galahad has a large gap, but he prefers big moves that deal a lot of damage. Warrior''s Roar is a skill that increases attack power. Sword of Swords] causes afterimages of swords to appear in the path of the sword you swing, following the original sword. It is quite a flashy and exhilarating technique. Eagle''s technique is as elegant as ever. This is a technique that has a correction for downed enemies, and he uses his skills at a time delay, assuming Galahad is downed. If an enemy tries to move when Galahad releases his skill, Eagle uses his skill first to destroy the attack. Eagle reads the enemy''s actions well, and the amount of damage dealt is definitely greater with Galahad, but it would be halved if Eagle were not there. Galahad also often catches the enemy''s attack, and H! is low, Eagle takes the brunt of the attacks. Galahad says, "There is a skill gauge that accumulates when you are attacked. That''s good, buddy. Well, I''m ready. "<>" It has been a long time since I used [Power to Rotate] <. The same magic I used at the starting point, level 30. But what happened was different. The moment the water surpasses the fire''s power, it causes a great deal of damage, and the stronger the fire is, the more intense it is. The water, which at first was mostly removed, rains down countless spindle-shaped bullets with such force that they puncture the phoenix''s wings. Galahad and Eagle strike the phoenix, which has fallen to the ground and is unable to fly away, with the Sword of Absolution and the Sword of Guilt, and the battle ends. I got the title "Heir to the Phoenix" for my first solo victory. I got the reward for my first solo defeat. I am pleased to announce that <> has been defeated solo. I got the Phoenix''s Claw x5. I got the Tears of Phoenix x5. I got the phoenix''s armor, thorax. I got the magic stone of Phoenix. I got the phoenix tail feathers x 10. I got the ring of fire +8. I got a <. Thorax . Or is there an arm and a sleeve that you have to go through until you have everything you need?¡¡Unfortunately, heavy armor has a negative compensation due to its profession. And <>, I used it and learned [Resurrection]. I expected to be able to use it on my party members, but it was a skill that revived me once during a battle with a certain probability of being disabled. Where is the resurrection? Phoenix''s Tears is one of the ingredients of . It is a consumable medicine, and the fact that it takes so much time and effort to get it here means that it will be a long time before appears in magic and skills. Heir to the Phoenix] increased the probability of [Resurrection], optimized the state of [Resurrection], and increased the amount of [Resurrection] both for those who receive it and those who apply it. "This far back, ...... let''s hope the fire dragon is not at home." We enter a narrow cave that leads from the hall where we defeated the Phoenix. Here, too, there are orange-burned rock walls in places, and it is bright. Narn, the blue dragon, is also located at the end of the boss''s room. At that time, the main event was Peter''s, and we passed through the room without the boss after defeating him. "The fire dragon is the one who is wooing Paltin, isn''t it?" "It''s true that Grasha the fire dragon and Talal the green dragon seem to regularly engage in territorial battles with Paltin the gold dragon in the mountains. ......" "Homura, you''re not going to tell me you know a gold dragon, are you?" "How much more ......" "Yeah, I went looking for the cavalryman, and I met him." "Galahad, pull yourself together!¡¡You asked me yourself, don''t fall down!¡¡You can''t fall apart until Camilla recovers!" Eagle supports Galahad, who suddenly almost collapses. "Okay. Let''s pretend we didn''t hear that now, and we''ll get it together later for clarification." "What?" What do you want to clarify? I don''t care what you ask, except to disclose your status. I''d be happy to show you my status, too, except for [King of Pleasure]. We arrive at our destination with a sense of uncertainty. There is a hall with fire flowers on the walls and floor. Upon closer inspection, the fireflower was a cluster of crystal-like hexagonal prismatic crystals in the shape of a flower, blazing and burning. Can you [collect them]? "Looks like the fire dragon isn''t home." Galahad says, relieved. "I heard that the red dragon that used to roost here was gentle for a fire dragon, perhaps because of its old age, but Grasha is a man-eater. It''s not someone I''m happy to meet, so that''s good news." He speaks as he walks among the stone flowers. Some are large hexagonal pillars with flowers of various sizes burning, while others are blooming straight out of the ground. Beautiful flowers with flickering petals of flame that can be damaged if touched accidentally. "Do the dragons here have a turnover?" "Dragons usually prefer to live in places where their attributes are strong. A roost where the master is no longer around must be attractive. It may even take up residence with a dragon of the same genus." "There is also a phoenix here, and the fire is especially strong. Grasha must have gotten stronger since moving here." If there is a replacement, does that mean that a new fire dragon will live there even if it is defeated? I wondered what would happen to the blue dragon Narn when he was defeated, but I am sure that the new dragon will be able to complete the quest or distribute it. I suspect that important characters will only be disabled but not die. "There it is." A slender tree with branches like dull metal stretching out amidst the color of flames. The tips of the silver branches curl up like ivy, bearing small flaming leaves and small berries that resemble lianos. "This is the Haka Fruit. "Yes, the unripe fruit of this will cure Camilla''s disease." "Shouldn''t it be colorless?" "Yes." Saying this, Galahad avoids the fruit that has the color of fire and picks the fruit that has the same dull color as the branch. "Each person is allowed to pick one fruit from this tree. They say that if you pick two, the volcano will erupt. When I tried to pick at it properly, Eagle warned me. "You''ve got to be quick about it," he said. The fruit with the most even color will sell for the highest price. As I hurriedly withdrew my hand, Galahad laughed and said, "I''m sorry, but I''m not sure I''m going to be able to do that. "It''s one of the best materials for strengthening the fire attribute. "A wand with fire-enhancing properties sounds tempting. But, well, what''s the use of being prepared? I then gnawed on a dull-colored berry. I''m not particularly in need of equipment at the moment. I don''t want Galahad and Eagle to get the . "As for me, I''m more concerned about my own abilities (body) than my equipment. Eagle also took a blunt fruit. "Oh, let''s get the hell out of here!" Galahad and Eagle quickly put on their clothes. In the short time it takes them to get dressed, they are drenched in sweat. By the time Galahad uses the , H! is also decreasing. I guess he was too hot to wait for me to use my magic. I think "hot" is the right word. Maybe the most fiery thing in this place is not a phoenix or a fire dragon, but a tree that grows <>. After shifting to the store, I go to the room where Camilla sleeps, saying "I''m home" to Cal and Reno, who have come up from below when they hear the presence of people. They were surprised at how quickly I had arrived. They had gone straight ahead almost the shortest way, going straight through when they should have gone the other way around. I flew through the lava flow, which was so far away from the other side of the river, carrying the two of us who were . Without clothes, I had no place to grab them. I had thought that the time elapsed differently in the quest with the residents than in the normal field, but it seems to be exactly the same this time. Or rather, it seems that time passes when I am in the time attack mode. Well, it''s okay that I have to work in the afternoon tomorrow - or is it already today? Galahad places the fruit on Camilla''s chest, and the dull color of the fruit turns to the color of burning charcoal. Camilla''s ragged breathing subsides, and the fever fades. Her furrowed brow relaxes and her face becomes innocent. "It''s all right now. By the time the strength stolen by the fever returns, your internal attributes will be back to normal. Since the circulation of attributes and magic power in the body is now returning to normal, it is better to wait for it to happen naturally without using magic to restore it. This way there will be almost no aftereffects." Cal came along and looked at Camilla and told her. "Thank you for your hard work, it was amazingly fast. This is what Reno thought. "Oh!¡¡It was worth the effort." "We did a lot of reckless things, and some people were reckless." "You two moved along pretty fast." Today, we''ll be sleeping on the third floor (here) in a covered-up camp. It''s time to log out, but I want to see Camilla open her eyes, and I don''t want to spend a few days lying on the floor here while she goes to work in the real world, so I''ll be back. Surprised by the cotton padding I have brought with me, I refuse Cal''s offer of my own bed, change into my nightgown, and slip into my . When Camilla wakes up, I move to the inn and log out again. For now, good night. ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ Increase/decrease... Title Heir to the Phoenix.

I was supposed to be sleeping on the floor, but Camilla woke up while I was logging out and put me on the bed instead. And there are black-and-white hot-water bottles on either side of me. He came back near dawn, and it is now just before noon.¡¡Lapidus and Noel are under the covers. "Hmm. "Hey, Lord, are you awake?" "Good morning, Lord." "Good morning." I was greeted while I was at a loss as to where to start, such as the fact that I was carried in my sleep at my age, or the fact that I was put on the bed after Camilla had used it, or the fact that the two of us were under the covers... I was not sure where to start. Well, it seems that the bedclothes are not damp with drool like when I slept with a big dog. I half sit up and stroke their heads softly. Normally, they seem to be territorial and seldom come upstairs, but I wonder if it''s because they''ve been sleeping with other people besides me here, or if they''ve expanded their range? "Camilla noticed that, didn''t she?" "Yes, I''m downstairs. He drank a lot of water and has been bathed. "Camilla, she said she was tired of sleeping." Noel and Lapidus tell us the current situation. Lapidus presses his forehead against me. Scenting?¡¡Are you smelling me? But still, isn''t Camilla still not in her right mind?¡¡I don''t know if it will heal that fast. After washing my face and feeling refreshed, I went downstairs and found Cal Reno Galahad Eagle Camila in the common room. "It''s so small!" "That''s the first thing you say!" No, it''s not a room big enough for four men of around maximum height, plus five if you count me. Plus Camilla, Lapidus and Noel. We are completely over capacity. I thought I understood why Lapis and Noel were in my room. ...... and I can also see the handprints on Galahad and Eagle''s cheeks, what happened? "Good morning, is Camilla all right now?¡¡Or we could remodel the third floor of the liquor store." The third floor of the general store (here) could also be remodeled a bit, so that people can come and go between the three floors. "Good morning. I''m glad you''re at peace with your troubles. Thanks to you, I''m fine now. "Good morning, Lord. It was taken care of quickly and there seems to be no after-effects. However, he has lost a lot of weight in a short period of time, so don''t push yourself too hard. Cal adds, "Don''t overdo it," and nails Camilla. "Shall we eat anyway?¡¡We also have opening hours." "Yes, sir." Today''s menu is Gorgonzola cheese spaghetti with flat noodles. Green papaya salad, oven-baked pork loin, onion soup. Gateau chocolat with plenty of fresh cream and ruby berry sorbet. Tea or coffee. Gorgonzola spaghetti tastes bad as soon as it gets cold. "As delicious as ever! "Excellent." Thank you." The reputation is good, but in fact it is not a very high ranked dish. I guess I''ll have to go on a trip to gather ingredients, and I''m also wondering about the meat that the gods have rammed into the labyrinth. It''s worthwhile to make it when someone eats it with relish. "By the way, I want to thank you again for saving all three of us. You''re welcome. Galahad and Eagle are the stars of the rescue play. "It must be hard just to keep going in that scorching hot place, isn''t it?¡¡I heard that a well-known knight once went to Mount Huaguo to cure the same disease, but he was not only unable to obtain the fruit, but even his own life was in danger. Galahad and Eagle looking away at all costs. They don''t tell Camilla about the boomerang pants. "Anyway, can you introduce me to Reno again?" Eagle changes the subject casually, but is suspicious of his behavior when he sees it. I feel sorry for him, so I''ll give him a ride. "Ah, Reno is a dragonet in the service of Paltin, the Golden Dragon, and he''s on a field trip with us. """"Parthin!""" "You don''t have to be so surprised: ......" "A dragonut is rare, but a parthin? I thought if there was a dragon that served him, it would be Narn, the blue dragon." "Yeah, it''s water-based, Reno." "No, no?¡¡It''s better that Partin the gold dragon doesn''t actively go outside his territory, but he''s just as belligerent as Grasha the red dragon, you know?¡¡Normally, I wouldn''t have a chance to interact with them, you know?" "Not as good as Homura''s pet, though." "Well, you did get a setback cross on your arm the first time we met." "No, no?¡¡Why are they scaling back so much?" I told Galahad that Paltin was belligerent and he denied it when I told him about my experience. "It''s true," he said, "that with Mistiff''s case, Paltin-sama has been mercilessly exterminating any willful or harmful thing he finds in his territory, as soon as he sees it. Reno adds. "Is that so?" "Basically, I''m a pain in the ass, so I get rid of them before I ask them why. If there is a reason, it is usually unrelated to Mr. Partin. We''re not messing with where the cavalry is, and if you don''t want to die, you don''t have to come here. "I''m the one who broke in, but I think it''s important to separate the people, don''t you?" I''m pretty sure dragons lived here before humans did. No, I entered the area of the Mystiffs, which is not affected by the Parthians. So?¡¡Why is Homura safe?" "I sometimes look around the cavalry and when I find someone who has mistakenly entered Master Partin''s territory, I give him a warning once. There was a little incident there..." "Ah, Reno. These three know about White." "Master Partin is protecting the Mistiffs, and since Homura has the same species (Mistiff) as a summoner, he is going to help us with the other Mistiffs as well. In order to broaden my horizons, and also to return to my original attributes, I have separated myself from Mr. Partin and am now working as a cavalry beast as a means of transportation for Homra under his order." Camilla is stunned, Galahad is scrunching his brow, and Eagle looks like he''s about to sigh. "We''ve risked our lives to get through the dragon hunting grounds, praying that Paltin the Golden Dragon wouldn''t find us. ......" "You made it through there, you guys. ......" Kalu looks at Galahad and the others with a complicated look on his face. "I thought that if they found us, they would kill us without question, no matter what we said. ......" We should put up a placard that says, "I''m a friend of Homura." Camilla shrugs her shoulders and looks frightened. "Paltin seemed to be able to communicate better than Narn. ......" "If we ask Narn, the blue dragon, to do something separately, he''s more likely to do what we ask, even if it''s just to get us through his territory. Most of the other dragons are very difficult to get to the point where they will listen to you. "So, you''ve already encountered Narn, the blue dragon?" "He was blue and pulled." "Pull ......" "Old Nalung is indeed an old man, but I don''t think he was that weak. It was a hundred years ago when I met him." A bewildered Reno. I don''t know if I should tell him that he''s supposed to have threatened me by mistake. "I''m glad we''re both okay. Homura, can I ask you something? Camilla smiles. "Uh ......, I had Lapidus change my clothes. Sorry about the underwear, Lapidus asked me about it and I just took out the drop!" "......,I meant Master Lancelot." "......" I dug a grave. "Homura?" "Did you give Camilla a bikini too?" "And?" Two more grave diggers. "......, you guys must have had a pleasant road trip." After being told the whole story from the time he met Galahad and his friends in the labyrinth city until now. "I didn''t wear them because I wanted to!" "Same as on the right." I have a SS if you want." ""Hey!"" Destroy it!¡¡Turn it off!¡¡Camilla sighed as they struggled with protests such as "I''m sorry, I''m sorry. "Before I lost consciousness, the situation couldn''t have been worse, I hated being slowed down, I was anxious and unworthy ....... When I regained consciousness, I found you guys lying in a strange room, and no matter how much I called you, you wouldn''t wake up. Lapidus and Noel both recognized my voice and came to the room, and no matter what Homura did, you wouldn''t wake up." Yeah, I was logged out. "The three of us were fussing and finally Galahad and Eagle woke up and realized they were just sleeping. I hit them before I could thank them." Camilla says with a tearful smile. --That''s why the handprints are so clear on their faces. "And Homura. I''m sorry I made such a fuss that I had to teach Lapidus and Noel about the sleep of the Gentiles. You hid it from me, didn''t you?¡¡And. I didn''t know what he meant, so I kept my mouth shut. Apparently, is irregular, lasting for a few hours or a few days, and sometimes they go to sleep without waking up. It seems to be such a perception that makes the residents who have become close to them very uneasy, wondering if they will really wake up. I''m sorry, but I didn''t sleep here simply because I forgot to buy a futon and I liked the inn because it was hassle-free. ...... the atmosphere is very unspoken! ......This is why Lapidus and Noel were so attached when they woke up! I''ll pet them both for now. "Camilla''s fine, her powers haven''t diminished, and the old man''s fine. There''s nothing to say. Galahad, too, can''t stand the dark or damp atmosphere, he says cheerfully and laughs. "I don''t know how many times I''ve said this, but I never thought Master Lancelot would be with Homra. "I didn''t think you and your ungrateful disciples were acquaintances of the Lord, either." "Galahad is a disciple of Kal?" Yes, Galahad has been an unruly brute since he was Lapidus'' or Noel''s age, and I can''t tell you how many times I''ve had to beat him with an iron fist. "Geez!¡¡Don''t say anything you don''t have to!¡¡"Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no." I was wondering what I would do if you told me we were father and son. I''m relieved to see Galahad iron clawing at a smiling Kal. "It''s an unusual group of people for a grocery store, isn''t it? I hope it''s peaceful. "I don''t think Master Lancelot is ready to retire, though." Camilla and Eagle argue. "There''s no tension, it''s peaceful. We''ve had our first visitor, a dragonet I''ve only heard of in the lore, and a cardinal for some reason. Cal. answers by disarming the iron claw from Galahad. "...... is that peaceful?" Camilla was puzzled by something, but generally peaceful. And the succubus''s underwear was still a non-issue. £¡£¡£¡£¡£¡£¡£¡ 147 - - The Life of the House I run into Trinh''s store before logging out in earnest. I''m running into Trinh''s all the time, so I''ll take my time to say hello to him next time. Sorry, I just had this place built, can you do some renovations for me?¡¡If you''re all booked up, I can come back later. In that case, I will make a temporary room on the third floor of the liquor store with a . "That''s fine. When we build or renovate a house, it is quite common to find defects after living in it, and we have time in our schedule to fix them. I had no time to make any adjustments, but he gladly accepted my request. We took the plunge and moved the kitchen and storage area from the second floor of the general store to create two new rooms. This is the room for Lapidus and Noel, who will be leaving the temple in the near future due to their age. A small room like a walk-in closet had been built next to their room on the third floor, but it is no longer necessary because of the "storage" skill. The storage space for the store will be moved there. On the second floor, there are four rooms, a washroom and a bathroom. On the third floor, there is a room, a bathroom, a warehouse, and three small rooms for alchemy, medicine making, and decoration. The production room is smaller, but I think it will be more usable since it was originally too large, although it is rare that all the processes are made by hand to begin with. The reason why the general store and the liquor store are attached to each other is because of the courtyard, which is only 2 meters from the east end of the north side of the building, Elias'' side. The work to connect the two stores was also easier than expected. In addition to the fact that the stores are not far from each other, the presence of skilled workers seems to have been a big factor. The door from the general store to the liquor store opens onto the living and dining room, half facing the courtyard, so windows can be installed, and the third floor can expect some sunlight, though unfortunately the sun is from the west. The kitchen, which was moved from the general store, a bath and a large washroom are also on the third floor. There are three rooms on the north side. As usual, Trinh is in charge of the missing bath and other facilities. We are aware that we are always asking for the impossible, so we would like you to make money where you can. Unlike in the real world, we have the money (sil) to do so. Are you sure about this? I went to all that trouble to renovate it. "It''s convenient. It''s nice." I''ll pay for it, okay?" I handed him the floor plan I had received, thinking that it was amazing that Trinh could draw up such a rough sketch of what I wanted. I can''t buy furniture if I don''t know the size of the house. I''m going to go to bed in earnest and not wake up for four or five days, so you can discuss it with Trinh and do whatever you want with the windows and stuff. I''ve already paid for the renovations I can do with these drawings. You pay for the options of what you want to do. If you don''t like the floor plan, you can change it." It costs money, but now that I understand that I have the skills to renovate a house without damaging it, I am quite comfortable with it. This is not how it works in the real world. ......I''ve heard that if a bad carpenter comes in, he can wreck the place, but you can rest assured that Trinh''s place is safe. I finally logged out today, asking Galahad and the others to furnish the living and dining room. By the way, what Camilla wanted to ask me about Cal, which was lost in the pants, was why I hired him?¡¡It was. Why, when the slum has collapsed and the number of adult males is proportionally low, when one can easily hire a man who is physically fit and uninjured?¡¡and. "If he was fit, he would have hired elsewhere, and even if he was injured, he still met the requirements. Galahad replied, "What''s so quiet about it? A protest was raised and a scream was heard. How many times have you seen Iron Claw today? ¡î ¡î ¡î ¡î ¡î ¡î ¡î ¡î ¡î ¡î < and , and told him that skill stones were available in the arena. I gave the possession-preventing accessories to the wholesale store owner and Christina, and that was the end of the distribution for now. I also told them that there are knights who seem to be related to Galahad and the others who frequent the orphanage in the temple. Oh, I have to go to the T-points exchange, and I think I have the results of the island. The reward for solo defeat is a <<< fireflower''s pendant>> of H? I''m not sure if it''s a good idea or not. I wonder how far they are going to make it auto-heal, especially M! The reason why the amount of recovery does not catch up with the amount of usage is that the magic level is raised on average, so the amount is too much and does not go up fast enough, so the amount of M! The reason why the amount of magic is not keeping up with the amount of recovery is that the level of magic is being raised on average, so the amount of magic is too large and does not go up fast enough. But it is normal that the amount of recovery does not catch up with the amount of usage. was given to Galahad. Galahad was the only one of the three who had gone to Mount Huaguo who could wear heavy armor. Kal could equip it, too, but first, we should distribute the surplus items among those who went on the quest. I got instead, and I don''t have the recipe for < yet, but I''ll save up the ingredients. What else will I use? I heard that Galahad and Eagle both got <>, thank goodness. "I''m glad that Phoenix hasn''t turned into a rare boss! I remember the two of them saying, "I''m so sorry, I''m so sorry. I prepared for the end of the workday, checking my activities, putting up tomorrow''s schedule, turning off the monitor, and checking the safe and the key. I greeted the security guard and went home. I log in and see that it''s night here, timing-wise. There are renovations, and I logged out at the inn as usual, what''s the point of my room in the store ....... That''s why I''m here at the Casino of the Nightless Castle. I came here to exchange T-points and check if the prizes in the casino have been replaced. After confirming that there was no change of items, I went to the casino''s internet (?) and checked the casino. I move to the private room for the game and exchange T-points. There is no change in the exchange of T-points. <, but it does not seem to work that way.

When I select items temporarily, the total T-points are displayed. I have 2500T or 6000T, so I can afford it. I want to buy a pair of pants, but it costs 2000T. What should I do?¡¡I may switch to skill points instead of equipment. 1000 skill points for a large sword Shrinkage skill stone 500T Grand Cross Sword Skill Stone 500T Grand Cross, great sword skill stone 500T > 600T I will save the remaining 2900T in points. I may need some materials, and since I have 7 skill points now, if I want a skill that consumes skill points, I can go to the arena and collect the remaining 100T to exchange them for 3 skill points. There are many skills that are on the list of available skills rather than prizes of competitions that I am not sure what to do with, but when I think about whether I really want them or not, I can''t decide what to do with them. < because it is also available as a prize in casinos, and I can get it without being exposed to the public. It seems that the status compensation changes depending on the race. Since it was changed in the initial race, it is reasonable that it should be changed in the new race as well. According to my book knowledge, if you fail to choose a new race, you can use a degenerate stone to restore the original race and start over, but the cost of a degenerate stone is 500G at the casino. The <> is limited to two levels so far. < Residents are told that almost nothing happens to them even if they meet the required status and use <>. It has been recorded that occurs in legendary rarities, so there are a certain percentage of people who try it. This is apparently the reason why they are sometimes offered as prizes in casinos, but it seems that the prizes have recently been replaced by new ones for , which are more likely to <>. A stock clearance? Gentiles (players) are different from residents in that they are resurrected in temples when they die, sleep gentiles, and learn skills more easily. The reason for this is thought to be the instability caused by their unfamiliarity with . To the inhabitants, a is a whether he is a human or a beast. < Isn''t that a pretty scary existence?¡¡When I asked Al of the Adventurers'' Guild, he replied, "It''s not like they take over people like the demons do. He wonders why. Since this world has always had demons and spirits, it seems that our senses are different from theirs. < requires INT 100 or more, MID and AGI 50 or more, and other statuses 20 or more. It''s a good deal. Although the casino is also dealing with it, I might be asked about the fact that I fulfilled the status, but fortunately, it is said that a Tennin grows a small feather above the ear, so it is not a showy thing. There is an illustration of another form that will grow wings and become flashy when it evolves further, but that is a long time in the future. Once the hood is on, it''s all ours. That''s why I clicked. ...... evolved through something like a magical girl''s transformation scene where she is surrounded by ribbons of light. She was stripped naked in the middle of the scene, but the important part was hidden by the ribbons. Is this also done for the old man character? Almost the same appearance. However, the quality of the hair has changed a little and it has become softer?¡¡I wonder? When the feathers on the ears are folded, they somehow blend in with the hair and are indistinguishable. When it is opened, it looks like a feather, but the feather is also mixed in with the hair. When a tuft of hair is removed, it is transformed into a soft feather from the middle of the hair. I think that feathers in general are hard in their own way, but this one is more like a feather softness. It is quite nice to the touch, though not quite as nice as the white ones! Using the exchanged skill stones, I acquired ¡¾Great Sword Equipment¡¿, ¡¾Grand Cross, Great Sword¡¿, ¡¾Grand Cross, Sword¡¿, and ¡¾Shrinking Ground¡¿. I was able to get the first stars except for [Shrunken Ground], I wonder if Gil got [Shrunken Ground]? Equip Great Sword] allows mages, sheiks, and other professionals to equip a great sword without penalty, even if they would normally receive a negative correction for doing so. I have an ambition to use [Weapon Holding] to shoot many swords and greatswords at once in a [Grand Cross] attack. However, the recast is set and the same skill can be used only once even if there are two weapons, so you will have to shoot another skill other than [Grand Cross] x2. I want to have [W Skill], so that I can use the same skill twice. The first time you get [Grand Cross], you get 3% more attack power of the skill. The benefit of [Great Sword Equipment] is a reduction of the negative correction when handling with one hand. It means that you can use two swords without losing the power of the sword, which usually has a significant decrease in attack power unless you hold it with both hands, except for some skills. I would like to have a skill of [two swords], [weapon holding] is less powerful when it is floating, and [two swords] is a different kind of romance. Two swords is also good. I just got a new skill, and now I want another new skill. No, no, no, I have to develop my skills properly or use them to the fullest, or else they will be a waste of treasure. Okay, I''ll go raid the casino. Even if I reflect on my actions, I still want what I want. Because skills do not go bad without refrigeration. ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ Increase/decrease...

Before you raid the casino. The status of celestials is generally higher than that of humans, but INT, MID, and AGI, which are required at the time of evolution, will be more prominent with growth. The race-specific skills are ¡¾Whisper of Spirit¡¿and ¡¾Always Levitating¡¿. ...... How much do I float? The "Whisper of the Spirit" summons a small spirit and makes the spirit to appear for a certain period of time. The spirit can continuously heal the body. ...... how much recovery do I have? What I''m trying to say is that the [constant levitation] is. I feel like I''ve done something wrong. I play [heavy magic] on myself. It is level 1 magic, so even if you keep casting it on yourself before the effect wears off, you will still be able to use M! It''s a level 1 magic, so even if you keep applying it before the effect wears off, it''s not a problem because the amount of recovery of M! I''m going to have to get some heavy armor to get the negative compensation.¡¡(exhales blood) <. I set the alarm in my private room to time the effect to wear off!¡¡I''ve only used this function to notify that it''s almost time to drop out. I thought it would be the time to use the << degenerate stone> right away, but this is something like a training. I think I will continue this for a while, hoping for a new skill. This is me who got << degenerate stone>> from ...... insurance. I was thinking that I should take some skill stones in order from the top to the bottom, when a beautiful woman who looks like a coquettish woman started betting beside me. When I suspected her because she came so close to me, I found that she was in the middle of activating some mysterious skill called "Enchanting Skin" or something like that. No, it''s a skill that activates [charm] by showing skin. I''m a glimpse person, so please make it look like I''m hiding something and it''s just a coincidence that I see it. When I noticed her breast, I also noticed her skill, so I feel like my impression of ...... her breast changed from big breast to big bottom. The charm doesn''t work, but I read the air and leave. It''s a blatant honey trap on the part of the casino. I''ve made a little too much money! ¡î ¡î ¡î ¡î ¡î ¡î ¡î ¡î ¡î ¡î ¡î ¡î ¡î ¡î ¡î ¡î I go to Elias''s store to improve the production of [carpenters] and [glass workers], which I have been putting off. I rented a production facility, but [carpenter] was only available at Sir and [glazier] at Foss. I made beautiful boards of various types of wood by sanding, made flasks, and so on. After raising the level to 15, we returned to the store to produce the goods for sale. I am amazed at how fast they are working. The skills of the employees at Trinh''s place have made the wooden floors soundproof, so that you won''t wake up the two upstairs. I think so, but there is no guarantee that Cal, who seems to be using his "presence perception" skill all the time he''s awake, won''t notice. I''m sorry if I woke him up. I''m using [dilution] too, though. By the way, I got as a production error when I was smelting, but what is it? Why is it possible to make a metallic-looking screw from a material? I don''t think that screws can be used by themselves, so I guess I should collect them as much as possible. Hearing the bell ring, I head for the liquor store to make breakfast. If you leave your room and go straight down the hallway by the stairs, you will find a new door leading to the liquor store at the end of the hall. The door opens into the living room. As I had requested, they had furnished the room with a set of furniture, including a large sofa, and a fireplace, whose hobby it is, I wondered. A dormer or a roof window had been added, and the room had been transformed into a bright room. I passed the thick wooden dining table in the dining room and entered the kitchen, thinking that the sofas were large because of the large size of the guests. The kitchen itself is nothing new, as it is just a new version of the old one. "Good morning, Lord." "Good morning, sir." "Good morning, you''re early." Not long after, Cal and Reno woke up. "You''ve got a nice room." "Yes, Camilla and Trin did a great job." "Mr. Galahad and Mr. Eagle have been working left and right on the furniture." Oh, I picture the two of them scampering around with the sofa in their arms, adjusting its placement under Camilla''s direction. "Well?¡¡What about breakfast?¡¡Should we wait for the three of you to wake up?" "I''ll wake you up in a little while and we can take it together." "Yes, sir." Could it be that regular life is coming to the three of us? Eagle seems to be a regular guy. I pass the tea to Cal and Reno and continue cooking. We have enough stock, except for the sweet. How fast are these two consuming ......?¡¡Shortcake with more whipped cream, cheesecake with baked cheesecake or jam sauce. Cream puffs are filled with vanilla beans, puddings are loose cal and hard leno. ....... I think that the sweetness is the only thing that I have been able to grasp in detail. No, I haven''t served Japanese sweets yet, so that one is unknown to me. "Come to think of it, should I call you Lancelot?" For now, he makes half of the standard sweets and half of the others and puts them in the warehouse. "No, just leave it as Cal." "Really?" "Yes. I like it." Cal smiles peacefully. Lancelot is a long name, so I prefer Cal too, as is my habit. "So, Homura was a magic swordsman, was he not?" Reno asks over a cup of tea. "Yes, I have?" "I thought you were a wizard with a dark weapon. "Oh, I''m usually empty-handed." Many adventurers rather flaunt their weapons as symbols, but I usually keep my staff and sword at home because I can quickly retrieve them by [equipment change]. When I am in a party, I play the role of a wizard without changing jobs, and I may not look like a wizard. He was ironclawed again, saying, "[Don''t] blabber on about the Lord''s status." Reno did not say who, but he knew immediately that Galahad had been hit by an iron claw. "My apologies, my apprentice." "I''m not going to hide my occupation from you two, so why not?" Cal apologizes, but I return his apology and continue working. "This guy knew I was mistaken about my occupation, and he was leading me to make me misunderstand. I can never be too careful. "Sorry, I didn''t think you were bound by a cavalry contract. ....... I didn''t see anything like that at all." "They''re free-range, and I''d be more than happy to tie them up." "Wait, don''t talk like that, it sounds perverted." The two of them argue with each other, and I wonder why binding them by contract has anything to do with revealing my occupation, but I say what I have to say anyway. I think this is the most important point. Anyway, is it a special characteristic of Reno or of Dragonut that he wants to be a cavalryman or to be ruled by one?¡¡Maybe it''s the collar Paltin put on him. "I''m also glad to see that you, Mr. Reno, realized that I was guiding you as soon as you learned of my Lord''s occupation." "Well, with him around, you can rest assured that there won''t be any problems in everyday life." I don''t know what it is, but they seem to recognize each other without any awkwardness. I don''t know how they play tricks on each other. Meanwhile, Eagle woke up, Camilla woke up, and I heard a scream in Galahad''s room. I wonder if it''s iron claw first thing in the morning. I didn''t hear any voice telling me to get up, so I got the impression that they were suddenly going to use force without any questions asked. After breakfast, we went to the guild of Leno and Baron. We check the results of the application for the island. Galahad and the others are going to the arena for a while to get the . Shall I get it as a prize from the casino?¡¡When I asked him about it, he told me not to worry about it since he would be free for a while to see how the other party would respond. And now... "I''m very sorry, but this island is not recognized as personal property." "Why?" There were no other structures or people there. Mr. Reno, it looks like people are things. It''s a lenguard in a mask. I was told the result at the reception desk of the Adventurers'' Guild in Barron, and when I complained that I was not satisfied with the result, I was shown to the reception room. But even here, they refused to give any reason for their refusal. It''s not the effect of "awe" that makes the mature deputy guildmaster sweat with a blue face!¡¡Maybe! "I''m sorry, I''ll explain it to you." Two additional men came into the room. "I''m Bruce, Adventurers'' Guild Master of Barron." "This is Abbey, Adventurers'' Guildmaster of Fast." "...... I thought you were Donald''s son." "What?" No, nothing. I thought the guildmaster (Guilmouth) of Fast was Donald''s son (Mac) . Apologies to Mossberg! Rumor has it that the masters of the Adventurers'' Guild outrank even S-rank adventurers. I don''t understand how someone so powerful can be at the head of an organization that seems to have so much paperwork. Fast''s Gilmouth, in particular, is said to be a legend. Looking at the two, it seems that Abay is in control, and Bruce is standing one step behind Abay. "Take a seat, for now," he says. I''d appreciate it if you''d put [awe] away." He sits meekly, apparently ready to hear the reason. "That island is actually under the jurisdiction of the Adventurers'' Guild. Once there, Abay drinks his tea pretentiously. I silently urge him on. "That island is sealed to the beast." "What?" What a surprise! The island that Reno and I had searched for, in the sea away from the land on the map, was where one of the beasts sealed by the gods slept. ...... If you think about it calmly, there might be a dungeon from the location. If I got a airship or something, I''d go looking for it even without any advance information. The southern island is not suitable for <>,<><><><>...... and meat. "<>?" 149 - - The Island of Replacement "...... thus, can you please stop telling me confidential information about the guild that has not been reported to the state?" Abay looks annoyed in the room, which has been quiet for a moment. I wonder if it was enough to make him freeze. "It''s not a seal to be loosened, and now that you know, I don''t mind if you challenge me. It is your life at stake, and I will not stop being an adventurer. Well, you know more than I thought. "However, [the beast] is an object of fear for the general populace, including other known ones, so please don''t talk about it. People who know about it are not prepared to flee, nor do they have the strength to deal with it." "Yeah, I understand that." I was nailed by His Eminence Kyle in Bahamut. "And the island, even if you succeed in capturing it, it will be a place where future s of the same lineage as will spring up. In exchange for the guild not destroying your chances of success, you should not destroy the chances of other adventurers who have reached the information about <> on their own by occupying the island. So, do dragons spring up at the shrine of Verus?¡¡No cans for not defeating Bahamut?¡¡The temple of Val, where White was, can bestow spirits, and although they may not be as capable as White, there are mystics in the world, so is there a chance to get the same strain? <, there is a chance to get a black dragon somewhere, though Bahamut is the best. "Yes, sir." I have no intention of doing that. "Wait a minute, we went through a lot of trouble to find that island, didn''t we?" I thought so, but then Mr. Reno asked me to wait for him. It was Leno who flew to find the island, I was just along for the ride. "Yeah, that''s why I''ve got a couple of potential islands of similar size." Abbey, the Adventurers'' Guild Master of Fast, replied, and Bruce, the Adventurers'' Guild Master of Baron, spread a map on the table. I guess Fast''s guildmaster is in a better position than Abbey. For a moment, the thought crossed his mind that he didn''t like the idea of the guild knowing his location, but he knew that they would find out when he applied to the guild in the first place, so the result would be the same, even if he lived in silence. "Sauroway continent - the sea west of the continent mainly inhabited by demons, Norgway continent - the sea southeast of the continent inhabited by elves, Norgway continent - the sea west of the continent mainly inhabited by demons, Norgway continent - the sea southeast of the continent mainly inhabited by elves, Norgway continent --Western sea of the continent inhabited mainly by dwarves." Abay explains the location, pointing to the corresponding section of the map. "The vegetation and demons are different, but it looks almost the same as the island you found, and has a similar climate. It is out of the habitat of the sea dwellers and out of the trade routes, so no one else will bother us." It''s also important to know if there are any demons that would attack the mystiffs. ....... "I hope there are not too many active demons(s). --It''s too bad there won''t be any metal jacket boas, they''re delicious." I''m not sure why I mentioned Mistiff, but it was something else I mentioned. "Oh, and here''s an apology from the guild for that." Abay produces some item. "A skill stone?" "Would you like to take it in your hand?" Before touching [appraise]. >, the effect is that you can use the to replace any demon in the target area. ...... skill stone ranks are kind of awesome too? "If you want a metal jacket boa, you can replace it with that. Apparently, it was originally intended to manage labyrinths, but the position of [maze-maker] has long since disappeared. Skills are scattered and unorganized, but they are sometimes available in the form of <. "I didn''t know such a profession existed." "It once existed, so maybe we can revive it. The labyrinths are not as large as the one in Baron (here), but are at most gardens for castle defense or small underground labyrinths. Most of them were hired by the state or nobles and killed to keep their secrets after they built the labyrinth. Those who inherited the skills must have feared this and hid them away. They are hard to find, but if you are interested, you can look for them." Here''s a dungeon management flag! "Reno, you want some?" I''m interested, I''m interested, but it was Leno who had the hardest time. No, I''m not interested. "I think it was Leno who flew to find the island." It doesn''t make much sense for me to use it. When you''re a dragon, you just live in one place long enough and the demons are naturally attracted to your attributes. Oops, I was just a dungeon maker. Narn the blue dragon and Grasha the fire dragon were both in dungeon-like places, come to think of it. Paltin wasn''t, but I wonder if he''s suppressing the influence of his attributes for Mistiff''s sake. "And the house is yours, and the environment is yours to do with as you please." "Thank you." "I accept those terms." He turns to Abay and answers. "Yes, thank you. Thank you for not invoking your authority. Abay laughs. What kind of forceful power was that?¡¡The transition was smooth, although the way the negotiations had proceeded was not stressful, and the story of giving up an island that had been prepared and discovered in such a short period of time was a smooth one. I have a feeling that they would be the most difficult to deal with if things got complicated. Well, I was ready to surrender unconditionally this time because I was afraid of the reaction of other players if I forcefully occupied that island. --The fact that he talked about subsequent adventurers before the guild''s rights and position may have been intentional. Abbey and Bruce are both fit enough to be adventurers, but their color schemes are so subdued that they look like they could be buried in the neighborhood, but there is something different about the way they talk to each other. Is that Guilmouth?¡¡Bruce is more of an office worker than an adventurer, though, as he quietly assists Abbaye. "As for the island applications, if you can find one of the islands I just mentioned, you can apply to the Adventurers'' Guilds of Fast, Baron, or Isle, and attach these documents to your application, and give me the name of your Gilmas, and I''ll give you a permit on the spot. The name of the guildmaster on the isle is Cain." "By the way, why are you using ?" Abey asks, somewhat more openly than before. I had thought that since he was only level 1, he would not be affected by the effects of the on a target that was not flying, but... But I thought that since he''s a Gilmouth, he must have a skill like ¡¾Magic Perception¡¿. And it seems to be able to tell what kind of magic you are using. There are restrictions on offensive magic in the city, but is safe. There are few who have [heavy magic], and those who have it are said to be useful for capturing crooks in the knightly orders and so on. It seems that many of the higher level magic such as composite magic are slipped through the cracks to maintain the security of the city. By the way, [Heavy Resistance] is now on the list of available skills. I won''t take it! "No, I have to keep it on or I''ll float. I wasn''t concentrating on what you were saying, I''m sorry. "Floating ......?" Bruce, who was standing by, looked doubtful. "The celestials are always levitating," he said. The wings of his head flap open and his hair fluffs up for a moment, revealing feathers here and there in his hair. When I''m in Lengard, I don''t care if I''m floating or not, but it''s currently month. "I thought you were invoking some kind of magic, but when did you quit being human? Reno knew it too, and at this rate Cal will know it too. I wonder how many levels Abay is at now that he could even guess the magic he used. "Around dawn today? Please don''t change your race so casually! Ah, so Reno has been trying for a hundred years to become a dragon. I''m sorry. "I''m floating in the chair... I''m not sure how I''m supposed to look to other people. ...... does this thing float with the whole futon when you go to bed?" "Don''t ask me." That depends on the weight of the quilt. Answered by Bruce . "I don''t like heavy comforters." "With a light comforter, you''ll float out of bed and your back will be all over the place. Is a sleeping bag the best solution for ......?" "I don''t like that either." Or have someone sleep with you." "Don''t be absurd. I''ll just have them make me a blanket to wear." With that said, feel free to use your skill stones. "I''m sure there are people who would like to run for office..." I am pleased to inform you that for the first time I have acquired skills related to [Labyrinth Creation]. This information will remain confidential. I have the title [King of the Labyrinth]. Boom! This is also the subject of an announcement!¡¡But what do you mean by "secret"?¡¡You said that the [Assassin] related matters would be kept secret without any announcement, but is the [Labyrinth Creation] related matters treated in the same way? Reno mumbled something, but it was too busy with the announcements. After leaving the Adventurers'' Guild in Barron, we ride on Reno to see the island along the map given to us by the guild. is also on my mind, but I''d better do what I have to do, since it will make it easier to ask Reno to take me there. Thanks to her race characteristic of "always levitating", she is able to use her E! I think I can fly or run on the surface of the sea with less consumption of E! My [floating] state is less stressful on Reno and seems to increase its speed. Mr. Leno, I''m about to be blown away.¡¡It''s the strength of the arm that''s holding on!¡¡The land-based visceral shuffler is bad enough, but the small dragon (this one) is almost as bad. The map is generally more detailed than the one I have, but compared to it, some things are missing that should be there, perhaps intentionally erased. I am going around from the place near Baron, and the island west of the continent where the demons live (Sauraway) was certainly not inhabited by any other race around the island, but I had a few near misses with dragons in the air above the on the way there, so I guess I''ll have to dismiss it for a bit. I''m sure Paltin will talk to him, but I don''t want to get into trouble. The island itself is more rocky than the island of , but the topography is similar. The island to the west of the Dwarf continent (Norwegian), also rocky, but with the added bonus of a point. The cove is not a sandy beach, but it is quite nice. The last island is the southeast island of the continent where the elves live (Norgjell). "Let''s go here." <, with thick oaks and oaks growing on the northwest side of the continent - the direction close to the large forest where the elves seem to live and where the green dragon is said to live - and the inlet on the opposite side has sandy beaches and bright blue waters. You can enjoy the tropical atmosphere of the sea. In addition, there is a cave in the cove, which makes the terrain full of romance. The demons are mainly slower than Mistyph, and none of them attack Mistyph aggressively. They are active against me and Reno, though. The first star for [Change Demon] was given, but it has a level, and it seems that skill level 1 can''t do anything on this island. You can only use the demon stones of the same rank as your skill level, and the success rate of both the target demon and the demon stones will be negatively compensated for enemies higher than your level. It is said that the first acquisition bonus is a little bit higher, but I think it is within the margin of error. First of all, we should collect the magic stones of the low-level demons in the early stage that we sold off in the fast to raise their skill levels. I heard that [King of the Labyrinth] increases the strength of the monsters in the labyrinth you created. The effect may not be known until very early in the game, or it may end up being meaningless. Well, let''s take our time after we get the island and find . ......The enemy level here is over 50, when can we replace them? Oh, I should have asked the guild for some <> to retrieve the rooms we already built on Alice''s island. Thinking a bit stingy, I use the <>. "Are you going to build in the cliff again?" "Wasn''t this place a double caldera from above?" When the volcano erupted, the center of the caldera sank, leaving the periphery of the caldera. The caldera was formed when the volcano erupted again and another caldera was formed in the middle. The second eruption occurred not in the center but at the edge of the caldera, so that a small circle is attached to the inside of the large circle. The outer circle is a sheer rock from the sea, although there is some greenery on the upper part. The inner circle is a rock cliff slightly lower than the outer circle. ...... this gouge may not be a volcano but a mark of skill or magic. Like the breath of Bahamut. "I thought it would be interesting to have a way to go out the back door of the house into the inner caldera." Oh, and I can''t wait to remodel the clan house. After that, we went to Baron and applied for the island at the Adventurer''s Guild. This time, the application was approved without any trouble or waiting. The Isle was closer, but Reno was not good at warding, so we went to Barron by going around from the sea. The sea was a test of strength, and the land was a shuffle of internal organs. Status is up, right?¡¡Are you training? After a short rest at the inn, we headed back to the island again before daybreak, taking Paltin and Faria the Mystiff with us. The reason is that Faria, an ordinary Mystiff, can only be summoned at night, and she cannot enter our world. Flying over the sea under the light of the two moons, Paltin''s warding of the Mystiffs makes the test of the Armamentarium comfortable. There is even room to swing when calling for white, we have to find the wards. > > < I was afraid to call out for fear that my white fur would turn to dust there. <<< What, isn''t that normal for [feng shui]? >> <> <> < <<> <<> <> < White made a disgusted sound. ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ More...

And normal Feng Shui is not done by one person, but by several people over time, involving rituals and construction work. ...... Huh?¡¡No, well, I heard that with the right number of people, rituals, and construction, it is possible to keep the area more extensive, almost permanently, than I have caused. Yeah, I''m safe. Hey White, don''t push me!¡¡I''ll even wave it in place of a reply. > Reno says with a puzzled look. . <> <> . <> < < He shakes his head and shakes white. <<< This one came right after and ruined it, though. Just when the gold dragon was getting ready to go for it... <<< Oh. Perhaps that''s what you were talking about when I said I wasn''t human now. The conversation took place during the time that Reno was reporting to me at the Paltin residence, and during the time that I was allowed to dig for ore again. I had been missing the rare occasion when white did not follow me, but I did not realize that we were having such a conversation. When I came back, I remember hearing you say that I was a human being and I corrected you. . We arrive at the island, with Reno saying some mysterious words of lamentation and White saying terrible things to us. Partin changes from her dragon form to a blonde-haired, blonde-eyed girl with small wings. On her arm is a small mystiff. She is brown and short-haired, with long chest hair and white limbs. I want to flirt a little and stroke her velvety back. "Well, isn''t that nice?" Paltin looks over, circling above before landing, already having a clear view of the entire island from above. "I think the environment is good." Mistiff in my arms, Faria says. Partin usually avoids touching Mistyf as much as he can because of her attributes, but today he is holding her in his arms happily. Whenever Faria speaks, she looks up at Partin''s face, and it seems as if they are showing their affection for each other. It is a little sad to think that it is because they are about to say goodbye. "There seems to be no one to harm Mistiff and the others, and here, with the occasional visit from Master Soong, the sea can be sealed off." "Soong?" He is a sea dragon who usually lives in the north of the continent of Sauroiyel. Is that the dragon that is partly responsible for the difficulty of crossing over to Fuso? "Even better, ask the spirits of the wind to block the sky as well!" "Wait a minute. How much more of a fortress are you going to make?" I''m annoyed at Paltin''s gleeful and gleeful insinuations. "The greedy ones will still try to come. "Do what you can to protect my people!" Opinion of Faria and White of Mistiff . "It is a necessary step to remove Mr. Parthin''s fears. Don''t worry, he will proceed without affecting the island itself. "What, everyone is a proponent except me? ...... Let''s pretend we didn''t hear the rest of this conversation. And, if they actually do, I''ll do my best to pretend I didn''t see it!¡¡Fortunately, they say they won''t touch the island itself!¡¡HAHAHA!!!! Partin, Reno and Faria went to look around to see where they could live on the island. They were told that the house would have a garden in a separate space, but they said that living there would be stifling, as if they were trapped. Then again, let''s keep them away from the island itself!¡¡I heard Paltin''s disturbing lines, but I left it for now and went to work on the house. With Leno and Partin, there should be no danger over there. Maybe. The enemies here are about the same as on <>''s island, 50 to 60 level. They don''t have to be so well matched. All of them can be defeated solo, but there is one type of enemy called <> that spits a slimy fluid that is troublesome when a full party arrives. < I''m kind of glad. I put my cheek against the white on my shoulder and enjoy the feeling of it. The house is built in the cliff inside the double circle, with a southern entrance like the Japanese. It is just barely in the northern hemisphere, though the entrance doesn''t need to be in the sun. With this in mind, I made a long corridor instead of an entrance with <>. With <>, I make it look like a hand-carved cave, though it''s expensive. It will look like a secret base when you walk through it, and I''ll add sconces to the walls later. > << The tree in the clan house and the cliff here, both of which are impossible to achieve in the real world. I think there is a town in the cliff somewhere ......, but I guess it is not feasible in the budget. And there would be ventilation problems, humidity problems, and so on. A square living room at the end of the passage, a dining room and a kitchen next to it. On the other side, a library and a bedroom next to it. A living room with a sunroom separated from the bedroom by a door on the north side of the bedroom - the length of the first hallway would be adjusted so that the room on the north side would go out from inside the cliff - a hallway connecting the first living room to the bedroom on the north side of the first living room, just in case. Guest room, bath. The end of the hallway is to be extended to allow for a staircase to the second floor. I couldn''t resist and bought a < for the first corridor, but all the other interiors are the cheapest ones. I plan to remodel the house as I go along while improving my level of carpentry. < <<< Hmm?¡¡Perhaps you were wondering? >> <<> White started flailing around on his shoulder. Is he embarrassed? Perhaps he was also trying to apologize for trying to recruit Paltin? <> The door to the inner circle and the door to another space should be placed side by side so that they can be opened by a door. Actually, only one of the doors can be opened. Somehow, you have to close one to open the other. The size of the garden, which is a separate space, is determined by the owner''s , according to the residents. In game terms, solving residents'' problems and being kind to them will expand the size of the garden. You can be kind to them in the course of interactions in the city, or if it is too much trouble, you can accept extremely low reward or no reward quests from the guild. The default size is 10 meters square. At first, you open the door to the cliff in the inner circle. "Ah, Homura. I thought I saw a wall suddenly sticking out... You built a house here?" Partin was directly in front of the door. His magnificent golden curls, reaching down to his knees, gleamed in the dawn light like a painting. Like a painting. "Could this be where Mysphe''s roost is going to be?" "Well, it would be safer if there was another round of cliffs, and there is a waterfront here. Faria seems to like it. There are two lakes on the island, one larger one outside the inner circle, on the west side of the island, and a smaller one here inside the inner circle that I fear will dry up if the weather continues. It looks like it could not become a caldera lake. It was supposed to be my garden, but it seems to be Mistyph''s garden. Well, it should disappear during the daytime, so there is no problem. "You may take as much dragon ore from my roost as you like, but I request that you set up a landing place for me. "Hmm?¡¡Can''t you just fly in and land here in human form?" Or rather, they are ready to come. "Landing is fine, but I''m going to ask the wind spirits to create a natural barrier of clouds and storms in the sky. It would be foolish to fly up in human form and get yourself caught. It''s too much trouble to go through a storm full of spirits if you''re not in your dragon form. It is said that flying in human form is not well-balanced. Since it is possible to become smaller as a dragon, we agreed to make a place for it later by cutting a flat surface on the cliff near our house. By the way, it was Leno who made it. < and return to Faina. At the temple, he applies for the registration of the of the house. The <> in the casino has a permit frame for transfers, so as long as the place where it is placed is not a stranger or in a public area and the person is not a criminal, it will be accepted. As expected, the casino will open in a few days. The main character, Mistiff, disappears into the spirit world at sunrise, and so the island is closed for today. After a break, we will go to another island, the first one we found, to look for . I have already asked Reno to do so. After crossing over to the island, there will be no inns, of course, so I will log out again and prepare for a full day of activities. I have walked around the island quite a bit, but I have not seen any dungeon entrances. I don''t know if it was a dungeon or not, since it looked like a shrine when I was in Verus. ....... Anyway, I''ll have to go there and look for clues. Tomorrow is my day off, so I can explore without hesitation. I wonder how the area around my island will be changed the next time I visit there. I am worried. As I was thinking this, Ochazuke and his friends sent me an email saying that they came back from the labyrinth and good night. Then, Peter asked me if he could meet with me to deliver some items to me and invited me to go somewhere if I had time. I wonder if he has some kind of Lolita-sensor? 151 - - The Sensor The number of gentiles (players) in Baron has increased somewhat, perhaps because of the flow of players after the competitions. Gentiles are conspicuous because of their flashy clothes including their hair, and Baron (here) had an impression of a sand-colored city, but this impression may change in the future. We met at an inconspicuous bar and inn in the second quarter designated by Peter. It is so quiet that one wonders how such an inconspicuous place can survive. It is clean and cozy despite its dimly lit appearance. Good evening. Good evening. I greet Peter, who has already arrived, and sit down across from him. "<> Finally done." "Congratulations. That''s a very professional name." "Why don''t you go ahead with Homura, too?" "Don''t be reckless, you''ll get more and more lost. Even if it''s just a tea ceremony, you''re still a ." "Huh." <''s island, but then I thought about it and realized that Reno probably rides alone. I don''t know if he would take anyone but me in the first place, and it''s hard to ask him to take Peter when I''m not comfortable with the ride myself, even though I''m somewhat used to it. I wonder if I can get Peter to go if I hang him with a rope. ...... I think we''re going to catch a very big fish. "So?¡¡What''s the effect?" "When you build it, you can choose magic or physical type, but I''m magic. I''m the magic type. The level of use of holy law and magic is no longer restricted by the job. The physical is the same as H! will be the same, and there will be no limitation on the level of physical (skill) use. The opponent will have the same time to use my job (Thief) system, but the level limitation will be removed. It is a temporary power-up item. So take it." "Buh!¡¡Didn''t he say something disturbing about a blue dragon to protect or a master?" He asks as he receives the ring. I am a mage, so there is no level limit for my magic, but my INT is usually not higher than that of a wizard, so the power of my magic is not so great. A swordsman who started as a swordsman has a level limit for magic, but not for swordsman skills. "Oh. That ring, like the party partner cards you exchange with the residents, can force me to come to you. You can refuse, but you''ll have to pay a penalty of reduced ability for a certain period of time. I can discard the ring, but if I do so, Homura and I both lose our abilities for three months in this time, right?¡¡Oh, this ring is special and designated for the ring finger." "The penalty is too steep, man." The ring finger is the place to wear rings for contracts, rulership, marriage, etc., such as the ring of a coat of arms used by a lord as a . The left ring finger is usually used only for marriage, while the right hand is said to be the ruling finger. Naturally, it is worn on the right hand. "Homura, you don''t use forced invocation anyway, do you?¡¡So this is a handy mobile item that will transfer you to wherever Homura is." ............ hmm? Movement? ....... "What a loli-sensor!!!!!!!" "Hey!¡¡What''s with you all of a sudden?¡¡Also, I''m not a pedophile!" So timely that I couldn''t help but shout out . I explain to Peter why I came to such a conclusion (loli-sensor). Wait, the enemy is over 50, right?¡¡Don''t be absurd. Also, I think they recommend multiple parties, so there." You''ll never know unless you go there, will you?" "I have information about a quest that involves <>, <>, and <>, and Homura''s story doesn''t have <>, but I''m pretty sure that <><> are two of the definite ones. It''s like looking at the problem statement from the answer. I didn''t have the answer, but I guess I have a lot of information instead.¡¡It''s a cooperative dungeon, just like that mushroom dungeon in Foss, where you can''t go on with just one party." "Another switch." "I don''t know if it''s a switch or not, but I guess we could do something alternating. I heard that the dungeon won''t open unless there are two or more parties to begin with." "Uh, ......." That''s why there were no dungeon-like places, even though Reno and I went around the island quite a bit. There was one place where the metal jacket bore was unnaturally avoided, and I had checked to see if there was anything there, but if two parties went there, would it open an entrance? "I can''t clear it, but I''ll go with you at least for a preview of the area on the assumption that you''ll return to death. I''d like to test the ring to see how far I can call it." I must have looked disappointed, because Peter told me that he was going to go and check it out. I''m sorry for being so selfish. But I want to see the new dungeon. I want to go to the labyrinth too! ¡î ¡î ¡î ¡î ¡î ¡î ¡î ¡î ¡î ¡î ¡î ¡î ¡î ¡î ¡î ¡î ¡î ¡î Well, let''s see. <. I was offered to help, but I asked Reno to leave. I don''t have the courage to bring a resident into a strange dungeon. I guess I should retrieve the room I''ve set up before going to the entrance of Alice''s quest.¡¡We have already built a living room on the new island, but it will be fine if we use it for another room of the same size for other purposes. "<>" After collecting the money, I cast the designated spell (laugh) in front of the hill with the big oak with the aged uro, and Peter appears with a shimmering black mist in front of me. "[Kuroasou no Shinobu] at your call, I will come at once!" Peter, with the black mist, dispels the edge of the cloth wrapped around his neck like a scarf. "Ha-ha-ha!¡¡What''s a [black and blue shinobi]?" "Hmmm, even though I knew this from the advance notice, it''s going to take me a while to get used to it. It was like moving to a stage in the arena. Kuroazou no Shinobu is a title I received in the arena. "I thought you were a [poison user] or something. Also, you should do something about the summoning spell every time, it''s embarrassing." "I chose the most bland title. Spells are a hobby of the Blue Dragon (Narn), aren''t they?" "That pull dragon ......, well, if I have to say it anyway, I might as well come up with a really goofy opening line..." "Yes, let''s go with a hot-blooded shounen manga." Me and Peter working out the story. I can''t wait to unveil it, I''m sure he''ll laugh. "This is where the metal jacket bores (active enemies) avoid us, and this is the weirdest place..." "Oh, yeah, the original story, the one where you were napping at the base of the oak tree." Then let''s go to bed. "How simple!¡¡Do you want me to check around a little bit?" In the original story, Alice is bored with her sister reading a book at the base of an oak tree, so she chases the rabbit and wanders into Wonderland - and falls asleep there under the pretense of being lost. <> was , instead of . I had no choice but to try to put my hands in orcs'' hollows, hunt for metal jacket boas that were supposed to target us but suddenly became quiet as if they lost interest when we approached this hill, and put my hands in orcs'' hollows. When I came here with Reno, my purpose was different, so I did not investigate in detail, even though I was suspicious. "Well, let''s go to bed." After a quarter of an hour or so of searching and confirming that there is nothing to be found, Peter says the same line as mine, as if he is bored or satisfied. A set of bedding specially made by Kikuhime. A futon, a comforter, and a pillow. The two of us lay out the futon in the shade of an oak tree on a sunny hill. "It''s quite surreal from the side, isn''t it?" "Normally, you wouldn''t put a futon on the floor. Picture-wise, you might sit and sleep leaning against an oak." "I think it might be necessary to touch the oak, so let''s move the bedding a little. "So you''re just going to shift it there?" Under the sky, with the roots of the oak tree as a pillow. Can you sleep? "If I''m right about this, I think the event is about to begin." As soon as I lay down under the covers, I hear voices. "...... Oh my God, oh my God, we''re going to be late!" Oh, God. "Oh, yeah." Peter and I look at each other and jump out of bed. He chases after a running white rabbit wearing a vest with a pocket watch. The white rabbit is quite fast, literally bouncing along. "Oh my God! I''m going to overtake him." "More or less, more or less." But Peter and I were faster. It''s only fair, since there are shieldmen and ordinary wizards too. Well, we ran and reached the rabbit hole safely. "This is fine for two parties of us solo, but will there be twelve old men chasing us in the future? "I''m sorry, White Rabbit." It is a rather unpleasant picture to imagine. I hope the white rabbit escapes desperately. He enters a hole and falls down, and at the end of the hole is a room. I must have fallen very fast, but before I reached the room, I felt as if I was floating, and I found myself in the room. "There was a small door and a vial, as promised." Alice drinks the liquid from the vial, becomes smaller, and passes through the door. "Is there a regular door next to it?" You turn the knob, but it is locked. I find a key on the desk, but it seems to be a key for a small door. "There are a lot more vials than I expected, and they''re a different color." Vials line the table on which the key was found. "There''s something written on it." -- -- -- -- --¡¡-- Drink, drink. Drink me. Drink it, and you''ll get smaller and smaller. But I can only drink one! We can''t all choose the same color! -- -- -- -- -- --¡¡-- "Well [the appraisal] only shows the same thing." "Do you want a drink?¡¡The color seems to be somehow related to the attributes." "Does the route change depending on the attribute (color) you choose?¡¡Oh, I''ll drink first. If you have any abnormalities, it would be better for you to recover. "Yes, sir. Then you can choose any color you like." The vials on the table are green, red, yellow, white, black, bluish silver, gold and silver. "Is the bluish silver the wind?¡¡I thought darkness was black, but I guess it would be silver." "By the way, I once mistakenly thought that the blue dragon was water for a while. I didn''t think it was a tree. "Japanese dragons are water gods, so they must mix." The Tone River and the Yoshino River are both dragons. "Well, the northern sea has a black image, so it''s okay if the water is black." As usual, I am going off on a tangent. "Darkness, maybe." Peter selects a vial of silver liquid. "Steady dark choice. Considering what I''m going to drink, I think red or white, and I hope it tastes more like calpis than wine." I pick up a small bottle of white liquid. "I''m a drunkard." "In terms of enhanced abilities, I''d rather have more dexterity than strength!" "It''s delicious, but it''s sake." With these words, the vial is unsealed and the liquid inside is stirred by Peter. "Ghew!" "Hey!¡¡Are you all right!" He hurriedly applies <, but Peter waves his hand as if to say he''s fine. "Why, the pudding tastes like ......!" "Ha ha ha ha ha £¡£¡£¡£¡" "Too sweet to drink in liquid form!¡¡And it doesn''t matter what color it is. £¡£¡£¡£¡" Peter who did not get smaller. I searched the room again, but found nothing in particular, and I wondered if the sentence "We can''t all choose the same color" meant "We can all choose different colors," and if everyone had to drink it to change it.¡¡I have come to the conclusion that The white liquid is odorless. Victory!¡¡Lassi yogurt!!!!" "Oh, it''s too normal!" Thank goodness it doesn''t taste like meat or anything. £¡£¡£¡£¡ And I''m the only one who shrank. I thought I was the size of a white rabbit, but I''m the size of a hand-held rabbit. "I''ve lost half of my ability, is this okay?" "Maybe one party stays bigger and escorts the other party?¡¡Anyway, maybe if you go to the end of the door, you can open a normal door, thank you." Peter puts me on his hand and takes me to a small door. When you go outside, you find yourself in a dimly-lit forest, but if you notice anything strange, there is no sun. The trees are bearing sweets on their branches in the brightness as if through shoji screens. Starting with lollipop candies, then caramels, sugar cubes, macaroons, rolls, gummy bears of every color. Is a sugar cube a candy? "I feel like I''m in a very strange place." Sighing at the sight before me, I turn around and look up to see a normal-sized door with the key still stuck in it. I jump to the lock, thinking, "You''re being careless, aren''t you? There seems to be a gimmick to climb up, but I''m not going to go through the trouble. "Thank you. ....... I''m sure the day lilies will be happy to see you." I unlocked the door and Peter came out. The sight before him reminded him of Cronos'' daylilies, which were crunching and chain-sweetening. Oh, should I bring Reno and Cal? "I''d be happier with regular fruit than candy." "It''s a nice fantasy." Riding on Peter''s shoulders, we set out for the dungeon of sweets. Stop picking! 152 - - The Thing in the Dark Peter and I have come to a different road, now a winding road in a tree hollow. While chasing after the white rabbit, we cross the obstacles almost alternately, with me maneuvering the gimmick through the narrow hole and Peter moving the cogwheel that cannot be moved in its small size. While I was chasing the white rabbit while defeating enemies, the Cheshire cat snatched the white rabbit''s pocket watch, and the white rabbit was taken away by a troop of card players. The Cheshire cat has entered the hollow of the tree where I am advancing, and the white rabbit is being chased by Peter. The enemies in this dungeon are stone-throwing lizards, fat twins who use magic and physics, and a griffin who was the boss in Hoth. Griffins do not appear among the enemies in the dungeon, but they are all characters from Alice''s story. Many of the enemies are tricky to fight, and they drop spices and sugar and ....... "So I''d really like to hunt them all down, but I''m too small to move around ......." I don''t care about the front! White fur is bliss. That''s it, once White took me for a ride, I didn''t care about drop items or battles anymore. It''s the kind of fluffy fluff that ruins people. I was covered in white fur, my whole body was soft and fluffy. Letting go of it is harder than getting out from under the covers on a cold winter day in a room without heating. Here he is, the Cheshire Cat! "White, I don''t think Peter''s arrived yet, so we''ll take a detour." Don''t be stupid!¡¡Take him down quickly! Ugh, my bliss is gone. I''m in a tree hollow, in an open forest. I''m talking to a cat with a grin that reaches from ear to ear, made famous by the tale of . A big cat with yellow eyes, a grin, and a face as squashed as a Dora Yaki with fine stripes. I like cats, but the mere fact that they''re cats doesn''t give me the fluff correction. I mean, the meow-ooh sound of the cat''s voice is definitely not that of a cat. If you don''t think it is a cat, it sounds like an old man saying "wah~~oh" at every opportunity. Still, if it is a cat, I watch it and it meows "nya~oooo", wags its fluffy tail like a raccoon dog, and flicks its needle hairs at me. You try to close the distance between you and it by cutting it off with your sword, but before it can reach you, it disappears, leaving a stripe behind, and appears behind you. "What? The stripe on its tail extends like a spring, and the drill-like tip pierces. Turn around and shake it off, and this time it disappears, leaving behind a crescent-shaped mouth. Then it appears again with a smirk on its face in the other direction. ....... It forms a box in the air and attacks with its grinning tail in a variety of ways. It moves just before magic can reach it. "This is not a matter of speed." Not even at white speed have they been able to attack. I examine my surroundings while dodging the needle hairs, but there is nothing gimmicky about it. "Is there a specific place where it appears when only its mouth remains or when only its stripes remain?" Its attacks are painful, but the most stressful thing is that it attacks only with its tail while smiling and laughing when we cannot hit it. They are big and attack without even standing up. --The reason why they are so big is because I am small...anyway, let''s observe them and find a pattern. Peter and Ochazuke are good at this kind of thing. I''ve got Cheshire cat whiskers x5. I''ve got Cheshire Cheese x 5. I got a jar of salt from the Cheshire Cat x 5. I got the magic stone of the Cheshire cat. I got . I got the . I got the white rabbit pocket watch. Wait, what''s ? The illusion of a glove with a cat''s paw is attached, but what is it really a Hyakureyuken? ......Petero case in progress!¡¡He is not really a fan of young girls, although he makes it into a story. He just likes little girls for some reason. Maybe he is not a true pedophile, maybe. Maybe? For a moment I thought about giving it to Lapidus, but she was a wolf. I don''t know any other young girls, but I''m not sure if this is acceptable for an adult female or not. I''m going to give it to Shin already. The Cheshire cat was only hit by long-range physics the next time it disappeared leaving its stripes, only by magic the next time it appeared after disappearing leaving its mouth, and only by melee physics when it disappeared altogether. It was an ordinary enemy once I realized it, but it was frustrating until I realized it. --I should also raise [Throwing] a little more seriously. I don''t think I beat him, since he disappeared leaving a crescent-shaped smile as in the original story. I can''t help feeling that he is already grinning in the treetops somewhere. "It seems I can finally go back." < and examined it, and as I expected, the effect was to increase my body size. The chunky shape, yellow umbrella, and red polka dots reminded me of an item from a certain game that has been around for a long time and is still popular among younger people through VR, and I wondered if the copyrights were safe. "Well, then, I''m out of your business. "Oh, no, no!¡¡It''s just my imagination, they''ll still be small for a while!" I cling to my white chest hair. Wonderful white chest hairs, so soft and fluffy and silky to the touch! The white, who gave me a short ride to the exit, has left, and I quietly eat the mushrooms. ...... why do they taste like chocolate? I look back before going back out. The field that I thought was so big was smaller than the other bosses'' fields. When I went out of the exit, Peter was in the middle of a battle. "I''m in!" You''re finishing up too fast. "I ignored most of the enemies along the way." and to Peter. "I moved around so I wouldn''t catch the enemy too." "Shall I release the ring''s ability?" "No, there are too many of them, but I can avoid them. Maybe we have to kill all the heart cards first. The other cards multiply as they are defeated. "And I think a lot of them are poisoned: ......" "I just wanted to get them all [deadly poison] first." "That''s the way to do it." Diamonds use recovery, clubs hit you with a club, and spades chase you with scissors. Hearts are magic. It is a general rule to defeat them from recovery first, but this time, hearts are the first to use magic. As I recall, the last boss of the original Alice is the Queen of Hearts. If you aim at the heart, other cards will cover for it, and other cards have a higher H! is lower than that of the heart. I will refrain from using magic and try to defeat her without fail. Peter and I know each other well since we often travel together in other games. I usually use melee physics and Peter uses bows and guns. I am not using a bow or a gun this time, but I am still in charge of the front. I got 5 pieces of processed paper. I''ve got five sugar jars of playing cards. I''ve got 5 diamonds. I got the club cudgel. I got the magic stone of trump and diamonds. I''ve got the . "There are a lot of them, but their attacks are light and manageable range." "No, normal parties don''t avoid most of them." Come to think of it, Peter also has [Val''s blessing]. But he is fast and precise in exploiting the weak points. He seems to have difficulty in attacking from the front, but that can''t be helped considering his occupation. He seems to be bad at ranged skills and wide-range magic, but he is able to repel single target magic. Since he only plays magic, not cuts it, it must be a different item effect or skill from <> or of my [Sword of Moonlight]. "I think Peter is out of the ordinary enough. "I''m a single-minded person." A white rabbit that seems to have been in the corner runs away. When you follow it down the rabbit hole, the hole, which started out as a mud wall, turns into glass. The hole leads to a spherical dome. Although you have fallen down the hole, you can see stars outside. > Verna. He has black hair that melts in the darkness and heddles white heddleskin that floats in the darkness. "You are my beloved Homura. Who is the other? Peter. You carry a piece of my power in your body, don''t you? "Now, there should be no place in the land of the living where I live and breathe." Are you the king of the things that wear darkness? "Okay, I give you my blessing." I''ve heard that line before. But Peter has a nice smile. He''s mad, he''s mad. Did he just tell us what he''s been covering up? What is ......<>? "I am the king of all things dark, but I don''t like to reveal people''s secrets in public." "I am in the dark, not seeing but hearing." "I know it only when I speak it." You are Homura''s servant. "If you are not a part of this, then let there be a silence that stops the clock." "There was no announcement of [deprivation]." Peter shrugs and stops any further complaints from being filed. "Mr. Peter, do assassins have master rings, by any chance?" "Yes, there is?¡¡If you reveal it, usually the whole skill of the assassin is [stripped]. Apparently, thanks to the ring contract, it''s safe to talk to Homura?¡¡I don''t have a dragon ring, though, because of my profession or whatever. Instead, there is tried to create an alchemist." But only a girl can come from this flask. "As long as <> wants to." "The thing in the flask can be a girl." "nor alchemists." "You can never be anything." "Things with ambiguous boundaries create boundary tears." "That''s why the flask and were sealed." "Can you stop <>?" "Can you stop what <> wants?" "You can take him if you can stop him." "<> is the weakest of the beasts we''ve sealed up. It''s very tricky. You two are alone. We might be able to work something out." "It''s decent from what I''ve heard, but ......" "What?" Peter, who had been listening silently at the end of the conversation, asks a question. "Why are you serving pudding?" "No, well, we had an appointment. Eventually, Verna was going to disappear after we finished talking." Verna is munching on the pudding. The caramel sauce is a bit bitter, just the way Verna likes it. "Is it different from the last time because of the ingredients?" "Yes, as expected, I can''t compete with Dru''s ingredients." "Hmm, I like this one, too, because it''s rustic. What do you use? "Eggs, milk, and sugar, basically." Since the rank was high, I tried to make it again using the from here, but it was far from enough. I wonder if the labyrinth drops eggs but not milk. I wonder if Ole Rougeyer dropped milk in the labyrinth. I tried to find out if it is milk for polishing floors or for food, but I forgot. "It''s hard to react when you''re served with pudding before the boss." Some assassin ninja is talking while eating pudding. Not very convincing! 153 - - The Alice Follow the who was in the on Peter''s side and fell into the flask (here) to move who is stopped in time by the I got from my . Standing in the center of the flask is a pitch-black obelisk that absorbs light. If it is inserted into a hole of the same shape as the pocket watch, the hands of the pocket watch begin to spin at great speed. <> > A girl slowly emerges from the obelisk as if seeping out of it. First, a face, a small white face. Next, bright blonde hair that falls to her chest, a blue one-piece dress and a white apron dress. "It''s Alice, isn''t it?" "Alice." I''m useless, okay? "Again. What does the king of the dark things have to say about this? "You can become one if you fulfill the conditions. You''re running away from me all the way here, aren''t you? I skipped the whole way, too. I was blissfully buried in white. "If Homura hadn''t come, we would have lost the middle boss, too.¡¡And by the way, it''s usually weird to hear the word "raid" and think of two people coming together, so I''ll weigh in." "Well, you''re here, so it''s no problem, right?" As we speak, Alice is completely out of the obelisk. His eyes turned a clear blue, or rather red. The water that pours down instantly creates a mirrored pond, and the water begins to rise and form various animals, mainly rats. "Is it bad to be soaked?" To Peter just to be sure <. I''m always floating. "So it looks like I''ll get a little recovery for that?" It''s kind of a subtle amount. They attack while conversing. The animals do not do much and move around, but as soon as they come into contact with each other, they explode and cause a chain of explosions involving other animals in the vicinity. If you release a spell on a remote animal, the mirror-like pond will change color for a moment to the color of the spell you released, and the same spell will be returned. "Sorry!" Peter in a hurry to <. "Is the range no good?¡¡And it''s exploding in places it doesn''t belong. It seems to explode when it comes in contact with a cat-shaped object in addition to the player?" "I see." I think to myself, "You are still a quick judge of the situation," and I release a single magic spell at the cat-shaped object. It seems to be a good idea to reduce the number of cats by hitting them at a distance and causing them to explode. I guess all I can do is to avoid them. A rain of candy falling from above. The type of candy that rains down also causes a terrible anomaly. I was in a hurry when I got hit by "Silence", I had to find some countermeasure. The middle boss, a playing card with a face and arms and legs came down, attacked me, and then disappeared. The Cheshire cat frequently switches places between <> and me, and <> and Peter. Well, since there were only two of us, when the Cheshire cat appeared, the actions of the swapped targets were canceled, so we only had to change the target of attack from to each other and the target of recovery from to . < rains white rose petals or red rose petals, the petals fall again while they are falling. and M! are slightly reduced and <> heals slightly. "It''s a very subtle skill, and it''s weird. Peter twists his head. "Oh, this is ." "<>?" "The more targets you use it on, the more effective it is." "The evils of a two-person raid!" Peter''s ending shows a www. "If there were twelve people to be robbed by magic and only one person to be healed by , the amount of recovery might have been quite large." It is later discovered that <> has a title like <>, where the more targets she takes away, the more she takes away. The following full party will have quite a hard time against <>. "Should we release the ring before some kind of final attack?" "The devil!¡¡Please do." They are both of them. "<>" I shout the lines I have registered, and the ring glows pale on the tip of my outstretched arm. Peter, who was supposed to be next to me, disappears, and a black mist appears before my eyes, and I can faintly see Peter''s back. "<"Sorry, wrong order of sword and shield!" Peter appeared after removing the cloth around his neck and the mist. His back is turned to me because he will face the enemy if I call him out in battle. "LOL!" The wrong line is one thing, but the fact that he disappeared from next to me and appeared right in front of me is just not good enough anymore. LOL. "I''ll fix it later. But it looks good?" "Oh, by the way, were you allowed to bring out the "thing that wears darkness"?" While stifling a laugh, he used [Shrinkage] and gave Alice a [Phantom Sword]. I also want to use [Grand Cross Sword], but right after [Shrinking Ground], E! E! If you wait until E!!! returns, there is no meaning of [Shrinking Ground]. "<> is lifted while you are being summoned, perhaps because you will be discovered when you are using it." "Great, INT and M! I''ve got it. "What?" Peter, who seems to have been checking the status after the invocation while avoiding Alice''s attack, says. "<>" Peter shouts something that sounds like a summoning spell, and my ring and Peter''s ring become light and meet in the middle of the two of us, swelling with mass. "Uh-oh!¡¡You summoned a puru-puru dragon!" "It''s an illusion, but..." I got the title of "First Solo Defeater," or "One Who Dwells in Illusion. The first defeat of with a minimum of one person in each party. This information will remain confidential. ...... was warm for a two-person trip. No, the magic breath that Mr. Puru Puru Ryu spit back was strong. Solo Defeat I can still see the www at the end of Peter''s sentence. "How can two people be solo?" "[He who dwells in illusion], I don''t have any skill that can be enhanced. I should have taken poison magic. Good luck getting it now." "Let''s look for it." As the two of us are talking, the particles of light that flew off when we defeated him gather again, and an announcement begins to be made. . <<<< flask> cannot be moved from here> Alice is lying in a fluffy state amidst drops of water floating in the air as the mirrored pond shatters. The fluttering Alice blurs and splits into two bodies. "Alice, the eternal girl, is looking at me as if she wants to be my friend. "Before you get into that, give Verna the pudding with the spoon in her mouth." Peter gave me a light hearted rebuke when I told him a rare story. Anyway, I delivered the pudding to Verna. "Hmm. Alice, you and me, half." We don''t have a flask, and it''s weak. But I''m sure it will grow. "The seal is stable with the << flask> in place." "It will help if you take him with you." Verna disappears with the pudding in her arms. "Please give me a new name. "I thought you said <>." "Usually you would expect twelve of them, but there are so many <> that it''s confusing." "Certainly. But I don''t like children that much. ....... I don''t want to be tied down 24/7. "I''ve come this far, I give up. It was Homura who asked me out, just for a preview. Besides, I can train him." "Training: ......" "A different kind of education." He looks at Peter with a smile. "Then, let''s go with Alice Liddell." I''m . So that''s where your character''s name comes in. "Huh." When I first met Peter in a game, he was a magical girl under the name <>. She ended with "nyan" and used two guns while saying "magic". ...... Nyisama. Alice and embrace Peter. "Hey, you''re Peter''s Alice, even your sister is a complete sister!" "You are falsely accused!" "Sir!" Alice, aka , hugs me. "Boom!¡¡Wait, who''s my father? "Ha ha ha ha ha £¡£¡£¡£¡" The title "Dweller in Illusion" is a title that increases the effect when using a wide-range skill the more people are targeted, and it seems that the title that <> had slid. It seems to have slid out of <> due to the weakening of the title. The same is true for Peter. When I checked the status, I found that my <> had a much higher DEX than the others, even though the overall status was higher. And the skill column is blank. Instead of having no initial skills, it seems that when I spend ''s skill points to learn a skill, she automatically learns another one at the same time. "Is this the attribute of the first medicine you took?¡¡I have a very high [dark attribute]." "Liddell''s DEX is off the charts, so that might be it." Apparently, either the attribute or the basic status number is higher, and it is determined by the first medicine taken. "I mean, the status is really high, but is it a one-half effect where it would be one-twelfth?" "Is that right?¡¡And there''s a whole bunch of skill points, too, right?" "It says you get more skill points when you level up, but the initial points you have are also too extraordinary." While they were having fun together, the two Alice''s, <> and <>, looked at their respective owners and smiled happily, and when their eyes met, they looked away shyly, lifting and lowering their heels and swaying their bodies. At present, it is difficult to distinguish the two from the outside because of their matching appearance. The one who is mainly looking at me is <, and the one who is following Peter with his gaze is . "At any rate, we have to get him to stop calling me ''sir''." "It doesn''t matter if she''s cute or not." "What about the rumors of pedophile ninjas who force little girls to call them ''niisama''?" Don''t quote me there!¡¡I''ve been falsely accused!" "By the way, are these two [summonses]?" "......[pet], right?" ....... Peter and I look at each other. "...... Let''s at least correct the way we call him for now." "Yes. ......" I think I might have something to say to the management. "I''d like a gun, by the way." "Is there anything in this world?" "I heard that a production worker already tried to make one, but couldn''t do it. However, were made, so maybe we can make in the future. "I mean, I think the real law restricts information on how to make bombs and guns from being posted on the Internet, so it''s probably systematically prevented." "Yeah, I have a feeling that''s the case from what I''ve read on the failure forum." "It doesn''t fit in this world, and as for me, I''m fine with a magic gun." Live ammunition is good, too. We return to Barron''s with these words. Peter asks me to sell him some medicine and return stones. After returning from the island after the inspection, I was planning to play with the house and the "box garden," but I guess I will have to go shopping for Liddell first. The general store is already full, so we will have to make a room in the house on the island. At the very least, we will need a bed, fabrics, and a change of clothes. "Speaking of which, Liddell, can you do the shopping?" "Yes, sir." "...... don''t do that, please." "Yes, sir." "...... (vomiting blood)." Tilting his head and smiling, he called me "sir" again. It''s cute, it''s cute, but something inside of me is grinding away, so stop! "Just kidding, andusa......, what should I call you?" "Homura?" "Negative." "So, Mr. Homura?" "Rejected." "The owner?" "Rejected." After some debate between Liddell and myself, we settled on <>. Lapidus, Noel and Kal were also called <> at first, but nowadays they are sometimes called >, whether the is abbreviated or not. Anyway, it was cute that he and <> were twins, so I''ll buy two sets of clothes and equipment and give them to Peter. ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ More...

I will stay at the inn, so for the time being I will let her use the attic room. ...... It would be emotionally difficult to take Liddell and send Lapidus and Noel back to the temple, so I may ask Ekaterina to take Liddell back while I''m in transition. Besides, even though we are sleeping together in the dungeon, I don''t think it''s a good idea to have Camilla alone with the girls. At any rate, while Liddell is being shown the clothes by the shopkeeper, I will send an e-mail to Ekaterina asking if she can spare some time. In this world, mail can be in the form of a whisper from a spirit, or delivered by a messenger, depending on the level of the hierarchy. When a message reaches us, it is recorded in the form of an e-mail. "This is good, sir. "No, Mr. President!" "...... master,this is good." "Two of these and one of this size up. And some similar boy''s clothes that will match." The latter two tell him they are wolf-beastmen and make the request. Liddell chooses a set of blue, black and white, with gold for a touch of color. The black skirt is a little above the knee and has a lot of white ruffles.¡¡--What do you call the folds you wear inside? --The hem is wide and spreads out, making it seem a little shorter than it actually is. And knee-high. The tie around the chest gives it a slightly more formal image, and it''s quite cute. In addition, we also prepare pajamas and other necessary changes of clothes. Liddell is the one who chooses, but I seem to be the one who decides, and even though I only bring one kind, he always comes back to show it to me. When I give her permission, she hugs it to her chest and smiles happily. --She is cute, but not in her underwear. It''s not good. I''m glad Liddell isn''t the type to ask me if I like this or that. I''m not good at changing clothes in a clothing store. I enjoy browsing at home improvement stores and buy a lot of things in vain. I''ve got a good amount of stuff for Lapidus and Noel, so I''ll put them in their rooms later. I can put the stuff for Peter in the common storage of the clan house. While I''m shopping, I hear back from Ekaterina and she says she can make time for me now, so I cut out and go to the temple. Well, I''ll ask Camilla to accompany me for the rest. Good evening. I''m sorry to disturb you. No, that''s okay. No, that''s fine. I''ll expect an offering, though. Smiling and happy as ever. Fast''s temple is sturdy and solid, with some ornamentation in the narthex and on the high-ranking priestly vestments, but it is modest. The temple is pleasantly clean in every nook and cranny. "Oh, my God, you''re so pretty. This is not ......, is it?" Did Ekaterina have an appraising eye, like a [purifying] eye? "Yeah, well. I''ve decided to have them live in the store for now, so I thought I''d take on Lapidus and Noel in earnest as well." "Well, well, well, finally." "If possible, I would like them to attend the temple until they have acquired some common sense and education." "I don''t have much to teach you anymore compared to people your age. I''ve been working so hard to meet you, if anything, I think you don''t play enough for a child." A little less childlike for sure. I''m comfortable with that, but I think I might have a problem. Be a kid!¡¡I''m not saying that, but I want them to grow up doing what they like to do. "There is always someone in the orphanage garden during the day, so they are welcome to come and play, but I''m sure they''ll be doing something else. He says this with a small smile. "Well, they are already awake. We''ll have a small farewell party at the orphanage this evening. Why don''t you come get your things later and we''ll go to the store together today?" That''s what happened. While the servant goes to call Lapidus and Noel, I offer them the offerings and food, and think, well, I guess this is the end of the matter. What is the end of the story is a mystery to me. But I guess I''ll have to make sure that the store will keep running even without me, a gentile, or ask the guild of commerce to help me find a new job, right?¡¡The store has no channels for purchasing. --Maybe this world will end after the game is over. Lord!¡¡Good morning." "Good morning, Lord." They are about to hug each other when they realize that Liddell is next to them. I open my arms and he flaps them reassuringly and hugs me as usual. Lapidus, Noel, good morning. This is Liddell. Liddell, this is Lapidus and Noel. I''m sure all three of you will be living together, so please get along with each other. "Well, if the Lord says so, Lapidus will get along." Me too. "Yes, Master." Lapidus, who was holding me in his arms, stretched out his upper body and looked at Liddell as if he was sniffing him. Liddell tilts his head and hastily hides behind my arms to look at me again. Lapidus'' tail is wagging just as Liddell turns his head. An animal!¡¡You''re an animal, aren''t you?¡¡I shouldn''t even wag my tail. "Lord, if all three of them are together, does that mean she''s in the orphanage too?¡¡They don''t seem to be human children either." Noel asks. Oh, you''re the beastman, you can tell by the sign? "Yes, I just took Lapidus and Noel in. After tomorrow, you can move into the general store." "Really?" "Are you sure?" "Yeah." I stroked them, thinking, "Oh, my hair feels much better now..." Lapidus and Noel got teary-eyed. Liddell was watching them with a tilted head as they rubbed their faces against my robe. --I don''t know if it was because he was a homunculus or what, but he hugged me at the time of naming me, but he doesn''t seem to be in the habit of hugging or holding hands with Liddell. Well, I''m not going to say anything about the white alchemist, because the picture of him holding a little girl he made himself is borderline perverted. Liddell seems to be happy to be asked to do something or to take care of some task. I don''t like to be tied down by others, but I don''t understand why.

Liddell is treated as an accessory of mine, and I can equip him with [non-transferable] equipment. If I change my job, I will equip < for the time being. "See you later, Ekaterina. Thank you." "No, no, I''ll be waiting for your offer." Is it an offer to wait? Liddell, come here. He summons Liddell and returns to the general store. We have the third floor of the liquor store, but we''re already running out of rooms. That''s strange. I tried to get Liddell to use my room, but he refused. Lapidus and Noel said they could share the room with me, so we decided to stay together for the time being. Once Liddell''s alchemy is improved, there will be no need to keep a large amount of inventory in the warehouse, so I think I''ll make Liddell''s room by cutting down some of the third floor warehouse again. He can move in when the house is ready, but it hurts my heart to leave him alone. On the other hand, I don''t think Mistiff would like it if we all move out together. "Good morning, Lord. Good morning Lapidus and Noel. "Good morning." We are greeted by an older couple of unknown age in the living room on the side of the liquor store. They are a regular duo, and I kind of want to follow their example, but it''s impossible to get up early on a day when I don''t have work. The futon is bliss. "Oh, good morning." Cal is dressed in somewhat rough but ready-to-go clothes. Reno only sees the same clothes, but I wonder if he sleeps in them. What if they are clothes with a deformed outer shell?¡¡I''ll ask him later. Good morning. "Good morning, sir." "Nice to meet you, good morning." After me, Lapidus, Noel, and Liddell greeted in that order. "Nice to meet you." "Nice to meet you, what''s your name?" Reno asks Liddell at his side. "I am now the master''s property. I''m Liddell." "Boom!" How dare she say that! £¡£¡£¡£¡ "Oh, you have another me?" "It''s a blessing to have someone to serve." Cal says with a smile, and Reno nods. "What?¡¡That''s the kind of reaction!" Lapidus rubbed his head against me, and I wondered what was going on, but then I realized that he was rubbing Noel''s head. He mistook it for white because it was white, and he was unconsciously rubbing it to calm his mind. He brushed Noel''s messy hair with his hand and stroked Lapidus'' head as well. After a while of fussing, Galahad came out wearing a shirt as pajamas, scratching his stomach, and all the members gathered in the living room. "Sorry to disturb you this early in the morning, but this is Liddell, who is going to live with us from today. Lapidus and Noel will also move in tomorrow after they finish the temple formalities." "Oh!¡¡Lapidus, Noel, hello again!¡¡Nice to meet you too Liddell!¡¡I''m Galahad." Congratulations to both of you. Liddell, I''m Eagle and this is Camilla. Nice to meet you." "Nice to meet you, and congratulations to you both." The three of you are very adaptable, smiling and accepting. Also, I wondered if they were sad to go back to the temple, since they congratulated Lapidus and Noel. I am rarely here, and I thought I would have more acquaintances and friends in the temple. I am now the Master''s property. I am Liddell and I am looking forward to working with you. The three of us froze with smiles on our faces. They turned their faces from Liddell to me as if they heard a "gi-gi-gi-gi-gi" sound. "Hom-ra?¡¡" Yeah, yeah. I think that''s a fair response. I like the way you three feel. Unless it''s not me who''s being questioned. £¡£¡£¡£¡£¡£¡ 155 - - 153. Youre innocent! "Calm down. She looks like a little girl, but she''s not a little girl." Liddell''s level is 1, so you should be able to check her status with [Appraisal]. ...... The first skill to learn is [Concealment]. If she wears a mask, Liddell''s master name would be <>. "Homunculus?" "Did you alchemize it?" "I thought the art of making homunculi was lost?" Liddell smiles and listens to Galahad and the other three, whether he understands what they are saying or not. Is smiling the default? "Wasn''t it popular in the past to revive lost manufacturing methods?" "When was the last time, Mr. Reno?" It was before I met Mr. Partin, about three hundred years ago, right? "That''s because most people are reincarnated." I made a quip, but if long-lived elves and dragonews also smelt metals, it would seem that the method of making homunculus would have been passed down to them. "Homunculus is famous for having been taken by white alchemists in the past, along with the mechanical dolls (automata) made by black alchemists. They were inherited for a while after that, but after the two disappeared, they deteriorated and eventually the technique itself was lost." "So, the beast that Dru encapsulates, , was created by the black alchemist?" Don''t call it a punchline. And the old man''s past is not as long as Reno''s, but it''s a long time ago, so don''t think his "heard it all before" is common knowledge. When I said what came to mind in Cal''s explanation, Galahad gave me a shove. I wonder if it''s time to ask Cal''s age. "<>,...... sealed beast,<>......?" Eagle looks at Liddell, wrinkles his brow, and murmurs. "I think I heard something about ...... Alice, but not that Alice (...) that Homra told me about. ...... right?" Camilla asks with a puzzled or suspicious look on her face. "You must be one half of the beast Verna had sealed up, the ." He says while petting Lapidus and Noel with a furry ....... I wonder if they are happy to be moving into the store, but I feel that their skinship is excessive today. Well, I can say that they are skinshipy, but when they are close to each other and their eyes meet, they come close and press their foreheads against each other. "Bu!¡¡I knew it!!! £¡£¡£¡£¡" "Hey, Homura, how many <> do I have to hold!" "Shall I weigh in a little more?" Galahad and the other three were all giving me a hard time. Perhaps startled by Galahad''s shouts, Lapidus and Noel''s tails wagged. Liddell is doing business as usual. Is it possible that he has few emotional ups and downs except for his personal relations? "Shut up." "Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no!" Cal ironclaws Galahad. A different kind of scream again. I don''t know, maybe I should go apologize to the neighbors. "I''ve only heard of <<<> until recently, but that''s the that the Adventurers'' Guild has been keeping a secret?¡¡You''re early, I thought you went to the island for a preview." Should I think it''s great that Mr. Reno has never heard of it, or should I think that it''s no wonder he''s been stuck in the mountains? "<> is new to me. I''ve seen such demons in old literature, but I didn''t know it was a sealed beast. ......" Cal says. Old literature. Even if we can''t find the gods, we might be able to find the sealed beast if we search the world. "Asha''s sealed beast, <>, Val''s sealed beast<>>, Dru''s sealed beast<>>, Rusha''s sealed beast<>, Fal''s sealed beast<>>, Tasha''s sealed beast<>, Verus''s Sealed Beast<>,Verna''s Sealed Beast<>." Eagle names the beasts with a slurp. "How well you remember." "I heard this when I was still in a normal state of mind. In hindsight, I''m sorry that I didn''t mention Hasfern when I was talking about Verus." I think it would be more impressive if I could remember eight proper nouns after hearing them only once. I''m sure I''d forget them in five minutes. "Wait, Eagle. I believe that only about half of the sealed beasts knew which god had sealed what because of the long period of time they had been sealed. Galahad and the other three men all pointed at me. Cal and Reno also look at me. "I heard directly from the gods. "And you have two sacred objects." You mean pants? "I don''t know, I can''t [appraise] it, but is the white robe also a sacred artifact?" Reno asks about the sacred artifact. "Yeah, you want to see?" The equipment is temporarily made available for viewing. "This is ...... again." "It''s still an amazing performance, isn''t it?" It''s magic. "< Cal, who was seeing them for the first time, cut off his speech and instead Galahad and the others commented on their impressions. "After that men''s underwear, it''s amazing!" Mr. Reno, I''m sure you didn''t do it on purpose, but don''t get hung up on the pants. Galahad and Eagle are looking away. "Well, the equipment''s all over the place, but Homura''s got some serious stats." "I will remain silent behind closed doors. And I''m going to bed. The king of pleasure. "What? "Why?" "You got another bad one on you!" "I don''t like it when people want to know the status of the Lord without knowing what it is." Cal''s one word silences the three of them. Thank you, Cal. "Please only show it to me later." "Negative." He rejects Cal''s request with a smile. "I''m very curious to see what you''ve added." "Why are you so lax about revealing your equipment?" Oh, that''s it, another H-rated movie! Hey, Galahad, don''t guess! Again? And Mr. Reno, you''re not falling for any of the weirdness! "Master, are you going to do something H?" "No, I won''t! Liddell tilts his head and asks curiously. What a thing to say with innocent eyes, you outward-looking little girl! How is it manly of me not to?" Galahad smirks at me and puts his arm around my shoulders in a ridiculing way. "Is this the pattern when you get drunk in the labyrinth?¡¡Galahad?" He smiles and asks back. Immediately, he lets go of my arms and takes a hold of me. Ha-ha-ha, you seem to remember that disaster. Eagle looks away as if he remembers it too. It''s a double-edged sword, something that cuts the flesh and breaks the bones, so don''t make me use it too much (exhales blood). "Anyway, I''m seriously running out of time. I''m sorry. Take care of the three of us." "Lord, are you going to fall asleep?" Noel and Lapidus hold my sleeves tightly. "Won''t you wake up again?" "I don''t know if I''ll wake up for four or five days." It must be almost four o''clock in real time. Even though it''s my day off, I still want to sleep. And it''s no wonder that the alert to take a break is about to go off. "Are you sure you''ll wake up?" Lapidus looks up frantically and asks. "Yeah, I''m gonna get up, right?" I answer with a shake of my head. "Did you have a trauma the other day when you didn''t wake up no matter what I did?" "Do humans sleep less than half the day?¡¡I know a dragonut who sleeps for a year and wakes up for a year, so I don''t think you have to worry about it. You are very versatile, Dragonut. "Lord, would you like to sleep with me?" Noel looks up at me. "Oh, I''ll sleep with you if you want. Mmmm..." Camilla, who replaces Galahad over Lapidus'' head and intertwines her arms with his. "No, no, no?¡¡I can sleep alone." The temptation of being with Fluffy and the temptation of being with a beautiful woman, but neither the former nor the latter is something that cannot be taken lightly. If I use Noel as a pillow, there will be rumors of a shorty, and a breast pillow will feel good, but Camilla is probably just teasing me. I''d like to sleep without any worries. "And Lapidus?" I can sleep alone. And it''s morning in this world!¡¡Everyone mind my business and stay active and healthy. After finishing breakfast, Lapidus, Noel and Liddell went to buy some more things they would need to live here, and to make the necessary arrangements for the move. I''m sorry, but someone will have to help with the luggage and such. "Yes, Lord." Cal took care of it. We''ll have Liddell learn concealment, blending, and alchemy for now. When he learned [Concealment], he acquired the skill of [Illusion Magic] at the same time. When he learns [Mixing], he learns [Throwing], and when he learns [Alchemy], he learns [Dark Magic]. It seems that each time a skill is learned, the skill that was learned before the skill was halved is recalled. The S!? The initial S! The initial S!(skill point) is 90, so there is no limit to the number of skills that can be learned. The player''s S! I think the player''s S! ...... ......Hey, maybe the twelve ...... No, let''s not worry too much about that. I''ll leave it like that and release the alchemy and pharmacy facilities in the general store to Riddell. "If he is available, I will take him to the apothecary guild for a hands-on course.¡¡Training?¡¡Either one of them. The course can be whatever you want." Master, I''ll do my best to help you. If you draw me a map, I can do it by myself. Liddell''s smile turns into a smile, and he is all smiles. "Lord, can''t I take the job too?¡¡I''ve saved up my sil." "Why not?¡¡And don''t worry, I''ll pay for it. Just don''t get curious and take any funny drugs, okay?" "Thank you." Noel smiles happily. I will open up the pharmacy and alchemy facilities to Noel as well. "Would you like to learn something, Lapidus? "LAPIS is going to be an adventurer!" Oops, the receptionist at the Adventurers'' Guild has not yet cooled down your adventurer''s fever, though she has threatened you with a lot of reckless adventures. "If you want to be an adventurer in the future, I won''t stop you, but right now you''re still growing up. If you''re going to do this, why don''t you start by learning some skills to protect yourself?" "Oh, I can at least teach you the basics of how to defend yourself. Mr. Reno has volunteered to run for office. "I''ll be your friend when I''m free, too. Galahad and Eagle and others. "You have a great group of teachers, thank you." It''s going to be a great education for gifted children. I''m sorry, I''m going to bed. Good night, Lord. Good night, Master. "Hey, good night." "Good night." Sweet dreams. Would you like to sleep with me? I don''t want it! Don''t pussyfoot around, pussyfoot around! 156 - - The Bulletin Board No. 9 Field] First Defeat part11 [Labyrinth 1 Nobody This is the thread to write the reward of the first defeat.

The constant skill [Levitation] of the race [Celestial] will be adjusted so that it will be disabled when the wings are closed. When I logged in, I found that the adjustment had been made. I appreciate that, but why am I stuck now when I was supposed to be sleeping wrapped in a top cover like a minnow? At any rate, Camilla is next to me. Lapis and Noel are probably between my arms and armpits. They seem to be on top of my overcoat, and they are sleeping under the covers. If you look at the other side of Camilla, you will see Liddell sitting on the bed, leaning against it. Galahad and Eagle are on the floor. I''m pinned to the bed by my overcoat, unable to move. I couldn''t wake up in the real world and go straight to the game, so I did the housework, shopping, and other things that needed to be done and logged in just after noon. It is midnight here. In the fresh fish section of the supermarket today, there was a fence of tuna fillet. It was a much better deal than sashimi, but I don''t have a sashimi knife, and even if I did, I am not good with knives. If I use a bad knife, it crushes the fibers and makes the fish watery and tasteless, so I gave up on it. I wonder if it would work in this world.¡¡But first, I need to get some rice and wasabi. But the situation will not change even if I try to escape from reality. Why are there so many people in my room? It''s not impossible to wake up, but I''m sure I''ll wake some of them up. The temple in all its splendor. I feel like I''m putting off the problem, but I''ll ask why when I wake up. Now, shall we go to the clan house and produce?¡¡No, let''s tinker a little with our own house. If I had seen it, I would have definitely started working on it [the box garden], which would have taken up a lot of my time. But I''m the type of person who, if I''m not careful, will take in too much of this and too much of that, and then it will fall apart. For now, I should look at the size and draw a rough diagram of the arrangement of fruit trees and fields, right? "Lord?" While I was hesitating in front of the transfer gate, I was approached by one of the two who had transferred to the immediate vicinity. Only the men in the general store would call me this. "Cal, Reno?¡¡What''s the matter with you, at this time of night?" We''re on our way back from the labyrinth. We''re a little later than expected because of a rare boss. You two are attacking together. The best knight and dragonet. "You too late at this hour?¡¡I mean, what happened to the bridesmaids and chaperones?" "Sleeping and chaperoning: ......" "Why don''t we just move on?¡¡Apparently, they are getting an earful." Before I could question Reno, Cal urged me to move. Looking around, I could see that several people were watching us, although not many at the time. I kept my voice down because it was nighttime in the temple, so I don''t think they could hear what I was saying, but it was certainly a bit disturbing. More than anything else, stopping in front of the transition gate was a distraction. "Where are you going?" I''m going to the island. I''ll go with you. Is it okay that it''s the middle of the night?¡¡I thought about it, but I didn''t want to stay here forever, so we formed a party, released the transfer plate of the house to Cal, and moved to the new location. The destination is the inner circle of the island where Misty and her friends are. The house is newly built, or rather, it is set up outside for Reno, who refrains from frequently entering the house under construction. Since Reno often comes to the house to check on Mistiff and to maintain the landing place for Paltin, we have released the transfer plates, which are much more convenient than flying. "Oh, the stars are beautiful, aren''t they?" "It''s true." Looking up at the sky, it was as star-filled as the . The stars are so bright that if you look closely, you can even see the different colors of light. ...... "Oi. What''s with all the clouds surrounding the island?" Overhead, the sky is clear and cloudless with stars still shining in the light of the two moons. However, if you look down for a moment, you can see clouds surrounding the island from a distance. From a distance, they are swirling in the sea around the island. Is this island completely in the eye of a typhoon? "Ah, it''s the natural wards that Mr. Parthin asked [the wind spirit] to create. Soong-sama was also amused and asked the spirits of water to make it stronger. Reno tells me as if it were nothing. The fact that the overhead is safe and the stars are beautiful seems to be the result of the search for moonlight for the Mystiffs. The wind blows the dust away and the clouds roll in, creating a clear sky only above the island. It is hard to tell because of the lack of clouds, but the wind seems to be blowing wildly in the sky. The night sky is wonderful, wonderful, though, isn''t it? "Is it a fortified island?" Cal says. Yeah, I''m starting to feel like the whole island is going to fly away and become isolated from the rest of the world. "Sorry about the bleakness. I haven''t tinkered with it yet." We set up the usual cat''s paw table in the empty living room and serve tea and snacks. Tea and a tarte tatin with a hint of sweetness. If it is sweet enough, even a tea lover like me might choose a bitter coffee. "I thought you would have changed the interior as well, but it''s really untouched. "Oh, I see, last time Reno was outside with Paltin and Mistiff after all." Is this the Lord''s house? Mr. Cal, it''s just a box. was acquired. was acquired. Grass. I made the same comment when I was a member of a medicine man''s guild and got . <<> is a milk cow just as I thought, and if it is left to graze, it can produce milk all year round. This cow seems to be a female only. If a female is born, she becomes a dairy cow, and if a male is born, he becomes a cow of the husband''s kind. < You will notice that soft grass is growing all over the place, but it is not by default, but by the subtle name of <>.

The description says that it produces <>, but I am not sure if I can really process it. The lineup of gifts is obviously a prompt to cook. Well, I would be happy if they eat it and enjoy it. "Are you okay?" As he is about to check his title, he notices that Cal is not feeling well and rushes to support him. I thought Galahad and the others were frozen without saying a word when Verus was out, but after he disappeared, they seemed to be operating normally. "I''m sorry." "It''s a reaction to trying to resist God''s will." Reno is also slightly dizzy. I''m sorry I''m so indifferent to the gods. ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ...increase... Title.

After watching the cows leisurely graze and the three chickens start pecking at the ground, I collect the <> from the cows to prevent them from munching on it, and take Cal and Reno, who seem to be sick, to the next location. "Lord, I''m sorry for the change of plans. Just go back to sleep." Cal and Reno are placed on a sofa in the living room on the third floor of the liquor store. I tried to carry them to the bedroom, but they said this way was fine. Well, the stairs were a little narrow to carry two men down while supporting them. The sofa is just right for two threesomes, since there are many people living here. But still, neither nor works. ....... I think I need or something like that, and hang a cloaking camp instead of a quilt. <<>''s inspiration and upliftment are not enough. "Would you like something to drink?" "Water, please." "Can I have a cup of tea, please?" He offers water to Leno and tea to Cal. The tea from the storage begins to smell good. It is convenient, but I would prefer to brew it in a teapot. But I would prefer to brew it in a teapot, considering there is no washing up or cleaning up to do. Cleaning up the tea leaves is a lot more trouble than it seems. I check the titles I have been given as I watch the two half-awake and sip their tea. The "Kami Niwa no Keeper" allows you to change the season and climate of your territory, such as spring or winter all year round, or to create a "garden" or "dungeon" as you wish, and to summon spirits to live there. It is recommended to use it together with Feng Shui. Healing by moonlight] is written to make you feel "sad and gentle" or something like that, but it is not a H! Continuous recovery of energy. The closer the moon is to me, the more it affects me, and the closer the white moon is to the full moon, the higher the effect is. I''m afraid that I''ll grow up to be a . I tried to keep quiet, but Galahad and the others and Liddell woke up. The three of them came quietly into the living room with their footsteps stealthy, and Liddell came next to the chair where I was sitting with his light footsteps. "What''s wrong?" Galahad''s voice is subdued, but he seems surprised to see the two of us looking so ill. "I''m sorry I woke you," he said. At any rate, he offers tea for all three of them. Coffee makes it hard to sleep, right?¡¡Tea has more caffeine than tea. "I''m sorry to worry you. I was just hit by a divine energy. I will be right back. "Divine energy?" Eagle, who had heard it wrong, asks Reno back. I have the [Dru''s blessing] and [Verna''s blessing]. "So do I." Cal replies by putting down his cup of tea. He seems to have recovered a little after drinking the warm tea. "Isn''t Dru [blessed]?" I think we meet under the same conditions, but I don''t know why. "His God rarely gives [blessings] to those who bear arms." "Based on past records, I think you''re one of the lucky ones, even with [blessings]." "Is that so?" Yes, usually. "Verna is the Goddess of Darkness that Homra told me about, right?" I think Galahad''s "usually" was emphasized. "Did you meet him in the labyrinth?" "No, in the garden of the Lord''s house." """[garden]"" Galahad and Eagle perform a beautiful harmony in response to Kal''s words in answer to Eagle''s question. "I got a housewarming gift." ""Housewarming gift."" As we sipped our tea, we complemented each other, and here again, we had a great harmony. They must have known each other for a long time, though they are different types. Camilla is standing next to me, looking disappointed. "How far are you going to deviate from the norm, you son of a b*tc*? Galahad is saying, "Aaah!¡¡I can''t hear you! It can''t be my fault. "By the way, Lord, there is a title [one who devotes himself] ......" I have "Makizoe ni natta shita" (The one who became a makizoe). < "The effect is the same as that of Lord Reno, isn''t it?" Huh?¡¡This pattern can be found at ....... "Is this the same as the [preferred affinity] we have?" "Our title was to meet with Verus, the god of light, or Asha, the god of fire, and a hero, or someone with a similar title. We also went through [those who were involved]." "Why does the old man seem so serious?" "It''s a difference in preparedness. But if you''ve already done something similar, it''s a quick story." I have a very bad feeling about this. This pattern is a status request to select a skill. ......! "For now, wait until you get back into the swing of things." He stifles Cal''s attempts to get up and postpones the problem. Cal lightly presses his chest and lies back down. His color is returning to normal, but he is aware that he is not good enough. "I am Mr. Partin''s servant, and I am not qualified to receive your skills, so I''ll just leave it as it is. "I don''t care about your qualifications, but if you have to agonize between Paltin and me, it will be hard on Reno''s character. Leno''s color is returning, I think. I don''t know.¡¡His smooth face, like a white mask with a slight bluish tinge, makes it hard to discern his color! "Originally I thought that once I finished returning the items I had consumed to heal my wounds to Yekaterina-sama," he said. When I was back in good health and no longer owed ...... anywhere." "I went to bed." "What?" A simple statement of the facts will surprise Galahad and his friends. "Master Lancelot is unprotected?" Here? "Well, it can''t be helped if a human body resists the divine energy so much. I''m used to Partin-sama''s dragon spirit, but it still hasn''t returned to normal. I''m sure everything will be back to normal when I wake up tomorrow. Eagle and Camilla are suspicious, to which Reno replies. "Is it really that hard?" "It wouldn''t be this bad if we were awe-struck, respectful and accepting, perhaps. After the gods had weakened their spirits, they stood up, so it''s wonderful for a human being to be so thin. Reno says. Come to think of it, Leno was still on his knees. "When we met Verus, he just froze and did nothing. I mean, I don''t know what the old man was doing to compete with us for his age. "And Verus (that one) was out of nowhere. ....... When Asha, the god of fire, is in the ritual of kneeling in reverence and asking for the knight''s blessing." Eagle''s eyes are a little distant, as if he remembers the descent of Verus. "I miss it. The weakest of the preparedness failed. The three of them get excited. "Do you want to sleep, Reno?¡¡If you''re going to sleep here, we''re going to have to move." Even without meeting the gods, these two have returned from the labyrinth. "No, I don''t need much sleep to begin with, unless the temperature drops. I would ask you many questions if I could, but I don''t have the energy. But right now, I''m comfortable with the presence of people." Are you going to hibernate all together? Anyway, if I''m not imagining it, it seems to be a trend to offer the sword to the strongest knight (Cal), but why doesn''t anyone mention it? I''m not a king, nor a legendary nanchara on a mission, but just a C-rank adventurer. Master! "What''s up?" Judging that the conversation has come to an end, Liddell pulls the sleeves of his robe down with a tug of the hand. "Master, the available professions are [Alchemist], [Medicine Man], and [Mage]. Please choose your profession. Also, Liddell would like to have [Appraisal]. "Oh, [Appraisal] ....... Sorry, I only put [Concealment] on and didn''t make you learn the main one." I''m sorry, I''m sorry, I''m a master of many things. "Liddell, what do you want to be?¡¡I didn''t ask because I thought you might be an alchemist, considering how we met." I open Liddell''s status and operate the menu, which looks like an image on a thin sheet of glass floating in the air. As I am about to choose a profession, it occurs to me. I hadn''t asked her what she wanted to do. Liddell will do anything that will help the master. He looks up at me with a smile while grabbing my sleeve. "What are your strengths and weaknesses?" "I think my dexterity is high and I can learn magic easily. But since the magic power doesn''t go up that much, alchemy is good for production, and for combat, a bow or ...... that can contain magic, or a long-range weapon would be good." The magic gun that Peter was talking about comes to mind. Can someone make one for me? "So, I''ll mainly use alchemy for production, and for combat, I''ll take [throwing] for now and see if I can get a long-range physical job." "Yes, Master." Liddell''s main occupation (main) is set as an alchemist, and his secondary occupation (sub) is a thief for the time being. I wish I had a long-range physical occupation, but unfortunately I don''t. When I set up a profession, it costs 5S! (skill point) consumption when you set a profession. I think it''s because I have mainly chosen the production profession, but [Appraise] was S! It''s a bargain for a collection of appraisal of minerals and tools, isn''t it? As a person who has acquired and integrated each of them, I am not quite convinced. Next is S!?3 [Alchemy Magic]. When I learned "Appraisal", I learned "Self-repair, M! When you learn [Alchemy], you get [Self-repair H! appears. It seems to be a recovery mechanism only for homunculus and other artificial creatures, and it seems to recover naturally outside of battle. It may be a variant of [M! Is there any other appropriate skill? I can choose the skills I remember, but I can''t seem to choose the skills given by the gods. I guess I''ll have to trade for the ones I escaped from the casino without exchanging them for avoiding honey traps. I guess I have to take [Herding] and [Milking] since I got the cow. Thanks to Peter''s [Poisonous] skill, I''m a little interested in [Poison Garden]. S!? Since we don''t have any money to spend, we should just take the cow and let Liddell learn how to "milk" the cow. Milk, squeezed by a little girl!¡¡If you put a pop-up on it, you could sell it for a lot of money. No, it should be expensive since it is supposed to be of a stupidly high grade, but it would sell better if a little girl milked it than if I did. I start to think of disturbing things like this, so I cut off my thoughts for a moment. "Let''s go back to the original purpose of checking the garden. There are going to be critters in there, so at the very least we need to get it in order. "Creatures?" Galahad asks. "I got a cow and three chickens. They came with grass, so I was told I could basically just leave them there. "Well, who gave it to you?¡¡Is it brave in this case to ask?" "I can imagine what you''re talking about, but I don''t want to admit it." "It''s a housewarming, housewarming." I closed the door gently the first time I saw it, too. "Shall we register my house with a transition plate as an emergency shelter?" I think of an idea and ask Galahad and the others. "Oh, is it an island?¡¡In case of an emergency, it''s better than the general store (here), where we don''t have to worry about an ambush." "Sorry to bother you." "Homura''s private, huh?" "No, it''s still untouched from the box, so don''t get your hopes up." I took Galahad and Liddell to the island again. There were three people who were damaged only by the clouds surrounding the island. Reno was explaining the situation as if it was nothing, Cal was seriously convinced by the "fortified island", and I thought I was a little off, but it seemed to be a normal reaction. "Wait, what is this island? I find myself relieved when I hear Galahad''s cries. 159 - - The Symbol Tree? "It''s still terrible, isn''t it?" "If you think so, why are you here ......?" Eagle asks with his hands on his temples. The island remains the same, casting treetop shadows on the ground in the light of the stars. Black clouds swirl around the perimeter, and every now and then a bolt of white lightning strikes. Is the sea near the island rough?¡¡I hope you don''t mind. "No, this is the state Paltin got himself into, but when he came with Cal and Reno, he didn''t react very well. I was a little worried that my common sense was a little different." "Homura''s,common sense ......?" Hey Camilla, why are you being so suspicious? Liddell listens meekly to our exchange, but sometimes tilts his head and looks around, as if the new place is unusual. "For now, this island is like a double caldera, and Mistyf lives in the inner cliff (here). Reno is planning to build a landing site for Paltin to meet with Mistiff in that area." He explains this and points to a place that is slightly flatter than the other cliff tops. "Takeoff and landing: ......" "Well, Leno told me about Paltin, so I thought it wouldn''t do much damage, but there''s a big difference between seeing and hearing. "Well, if you meet Mistiff here, just mention Partin''s or my name and you''ll be fine. He won''t come to you, though." Since Paltin has declared that every means of landing from the outside will be destroyed, the only people here are those whom I have allowed to transfer. And it is not a good idea to stay out here too long, as it will attract the demons. "So, more [box garden]..." Once inside the house, you turn around and open the door on the other side to see an idyllic view of a cow on a large grassy field. You can see an area of about 4 hectares (200 meters by 200 meters), but beyond that, the view is obscured by a haze. "It seems larger than I thought it would be, but maybe it''s just a case of making it look like it''s deeper than it is, but in reality the area you can go to is narrower. I think each cow needs a hectare when grazing, so it would be a problem if there were not enough. No, but as far as I can see, the grass, or rather the grass in , doesn''t seem to be decreasing at all even though it is being munched on, so it might be possible even if the area is small. "No, it should be usable as far as we can see. For some reason, when you go into the fog, the box garden appears at the other end." "You know, they saved us, they saved Lapidus and Noel, and they donated food to the temple." Oh, is that a donation?¡¡It was for the purpose of stalling ....... I guess it doesn''t matter how you feel about it, as long as someone is saved. By the way, Ochazuke said that the [box garden] tends to be larger if the quests are completed in the city, so that the production workers can have more space for cultivation and so on. I wonder if it was the delivery quests that counted. Well, I guess it''s OK if it''s big enough. "Ughhhh!¡¡Ouch!!!?" I was lost in thought when Galahad screamed. I looked at the source of the voice and saw that a rooster with a magnificent crest was kicking Galahad all over the place. Strike after strike after strike. "Kyah!" "Is this a gift from Dru!" Eagle and Camilla are so intimidated that they can''t seem to get a hold of him. We rush to capture it from behind. Please name your livestock. An announcement came. "Well... Porgy, since he''s a male?" "Cock-a-doodle-doo." "What? No?¡¡Why that choice?" "I know it''s a male chicken, but it''s still a chicken. ......" "That''s too ferocious for a potty!" Galahad protests with a pained frown. "Kukulu!" "Oh, shit. You''re so plump and round to your owner (Homura)!" Indeed, Porgy in my arms is looking very round and comfortable, a complete change from the previous day. "Master, is it Liddell''s job to take care of these children?" "Would you like me to do that for you if I could?¡¡Are you okay with animals?" Yes, I like birds. "What? He''s so ferocious!" Galahad pokes Porgy from the side of Liddell, who stands tall and strokes Porgy in my arms. "Ow!" It is being pecked back. Later, Cow named Haru and Mendori named Tama and Me. Tama and Mee also lunged at Galahad at first and showed off their gnashing peckers. They are going to be the guard chickens, not the guard dogs. Galahad''s red hair makes him look like a crest and they think he''s one of their own species that ravages their territory? ...... and also, I don''t know, after I named it, Galahad and the others looked at me as if they were looking at something unfortunate. "Do we need a water trough for Mr. Spring anyway?" "Also, I think you need some shade, don''t you?¡¡The cows would have liked it cooler." Eagle advises. "Yeah, let''s plant something." If [the box garden] is looped, it doesn''t look like we need fences or anything. Haru and Pochi are not a bad match, we''ll think about it when we have a field or more animals to keep. "Hmm, let''s plant them at a little distance from the field so they can grow. "Do you have anything we can plant?" "I have one sapling. Can I get some ......<>?" What about those peach seeds? "<>. That''s the one from Far Farci, right?¡¡Is it a tree?" "Maybe it''s a flower or a plant, I''d like to see it." "Well, why don''t you plant that on the edge too?¡¡...... By the way, how long is this chicken yahoo going to be on people''s heads?" Mr. Spring and three chickens are following him, and Pochi is sitting on Galahad''s head. Liddell is riding on Mr. Haru. When did he get on? "I wonder if it''s a rivalry position where we understand each other." "That''s not the position!¡¡We ain''t even rivals! "Kookoo." "......, you guys look kind of nice together." "Not at all." They murmured in disgust at the exchange between me and Galahad, Porgy. "Around here? "You plant it in the middle." You can choose to have the garden spread out from the house, or from the center of the garden. I chose the setting where the garden spreads from the center. "I''m planning to build a field near the house," he said. "Fields ......" "Where is Homra going, where?" I don''t want to be told by a man with a chicken on his head. "Liddell will do his best to take care of you, Master." ...... I think I''ll plant a few things, mostly flowers and berries. Looking at Liddell''s small white hands, I felt a little sorry for him. I dig the ground to plant the seedlings, but the exposed soil is quickly covered with . Hey! If this grass is really a weed ......, no, there is no such thing as a weed. "Well, what am I supposed to do with this?" Don''t ask me. "Maybe put the soil on a cloth or something and then pour it all over the seedlings at once when they''re set up?" "Why don''t you just decide you don''t care about the grass growing in the hole anymore?" After much trial and error, he invoked [Ruscha''s Preparation], which makes all materials ready for processing, and succeeded in forcibly creating a hole that exposed the soil. It''s definitely the wrong way to use it, isn''t it?¡¡Is soil, well, a relative of minerals?¡¡Well, I guess this is the one to plant. + [God Tree "Bwah!" "What?" "It''s kind of divine, isn''t it? I thought Homura had the skill of "divine tree". But what tree did you use your skill on?" As usual, the man who knows my skills better than I do, Eagle. A tree, a seedling, larger than I am, appears in front of us. It is a beautiful broadleaf tree with leaves the color of young leaves in early summer and deep green. Dewdrops, perhaps sprouting from the leaves themselves, are glistening on the leaves. No, the tree itself is glistening faintly. "<>." "I''ve never heard of ......." "I got it when I feasted with the gods." "Can I pretend I didn''t hear that?" I''m starting to get a headache. "At any rate, at this size, I don''t think Mr. Haru will be able to munch on it. No, but will the lower branches and leaves get squirmy? "Master, Spring is too smart to eat anything but grass." "Is that so?" Mr. Liddell, when did you succeed in communicating with a cow?¡¡Well, I guess so, since I feel smart looking at Porgy. That''s the cow of the gods. While I was only paying attention to Mr. Haru, Tama and Mee were pecking at the leaves. They are not eating the leaves but drinking the dew on the leaves. < to the , laid two eggs each. "I thought chickens could lay one egg a day, but can they lay two?" Don''t ask me. < "Maybe it''s the <>. Which is it?" "And I''ve never seen both before. ......" A slightly larger egg with a silver tinge. "Master, do you want me to pick up the egg?" "Yes, please. If Tama and Me don''t like it, you don''t have to do it." Well, I guess they will be fine since they kick the ground and dig around after giving birth without any concern. Liddell takes out a small wicker basket and picks up four eggs. I would like to leave the eggs and hope for a chick, but the temptation of tasting the eggs is too much for me. Considering the men in the grocery store, even four eggs are not enough. It seems that the chickens can drink from the dewdrops on the and the dewdrops on the grass, but not from the water for Mr. Haru, which is too expensive to drink from a barrel, so I set up a temporary water trough from a barrel that Galahad had cut into two pieces on the iron ring. Incidentally, the cask will disappear when it runs out of water, so we must prepare a new cask before then. I also want to get some of Haru''s milk, but I have neither the skill nor the bottle. No, [milking] might come up in the skill list if I squeeze it. Well, let''s go to the casino to trade for prizes after I level up [Glassmaker] and make a bottle to put the milk in. I have a lot of G (gold), so let''s quickly get some [skill] that we can use to take care of the house and the garden. "Well, it''s almost morning, let''s go back before the kids wake up. "Roger." I need to at least set up the kitchen and living room in my house so that I can feel at home even when I take a break. Well, we can go back to the house soon with <>. Oh, I''ll set up a shared warehouse to fill up the <> later, in case Liddell can''t get back. "Good morning, Lord." "Good morning, Lord!" Lapidus and Noel woke up while I was cooking in the kitchen. "Yes, good morning." I stopped and turned around to see them hugging me happily from both sides. After a few pats, I ask them to bring me my food. They are not too skinny anymore, and their hair feels much better. And their tails are more tempting. Fluffy, fluffy, fluffy! Today''s breakfast. Rice, Leo gave me some tio-jiru (sea salt soup) with << phantom clams>. Mirage is a clam''s breath, right?¡¡Small-sized < grilled with salt, pickled cucumber, spinach with sesame paste, and egg omelet. All of them are served with a fork because no one but me can use chopsticks. < While I was thinking about this, a very dubious scene was unfolding in front of my eyes. Lapidus, Noel, and Liddell are trying their best to eat the omelet like children, which makes me smile, but the adults.... "Oh, this is ......." "It''s delicious. ......an." "Oh no, oh no. ......" "Lord ...... it''s delicious." "Bliss......" It''s terrible to look so impressed with moist eyes. Don''t look at me like a grown man with a fork in your mouth!¡¡Don''t dye your cheeks! Watch what others do and do what you do. I will never grow up like that! After all, I have a tolerance for the banquet of the gods. ...... I wonder if I looked like that when I ate spaghetti with tomatoes in Dulu''s field. Gghh (vomiting blood) 160 - - 158. After a partly very dreary breakfast, I move from the dining table to the sofa, leaving Lapidus and Noel to clean up the mess. The only thing I have to do is to put the individual cloths under the plates back on the shelves. Although I am glad that it is easy to clean up the dishes, I thought it was a bit tasteless, and so I use a luncheon mat. In the real world, I sometimes put the prepared foods from the supermarket on the shelf as they are, thinking that it is a cultural difference from putting them on a plate. Well, I do it. Cal makes a pot of tea. This is also done by hand with an indestructible cup and a teapot. Cal doesn''t know how to cook, but he has the skill to make tea. Residents have more subdivided skills than gentiles (players). The skills of the S! (skill points) can be learned without S! Skills that appear without level markings are not usually considered as skills, and are largely dependent on status and other related skills, but they may have a level by themselves if they reach the realm of "excelling". It seems that there is a slight difference from the gentiles (players) who subdivide or step up from the main skills. What I am trying to say is that the tea brewed by Kal is delicious. "By the way, what name did you give to [the box garden]?" Cal asks. You can name the box garden. The name I gave it is ...... "[Garden]." "[Garden]?" "...... [garden]?" "Is it just a [garden]?" "Lord?" From top to bottom: Galahad, Eagle, Camilla, Cal. "Okay, simple enough." I got tired of thinking about it halfway through, and there''s no need to give it a particularly fancy name. "Lord, the name of the item harvested in the [box garden] is the name of the [box garden] plus the name of the item. ......" "<><>......" Eagle mumbles after Cal''s words. "No, no?" "That''s a very idyllic name. ......" "Um...eggs and milk?" Reno asks questions in response to Galahad''s denial and Camilla''s musings. I don''t know why they looked at me so disappointed, but come on!¡¡Simple! Drinking tea and looking at Liddell''s status. Liddell can only learn my skills or the skills I have made available to him. And when I make her learn one skill, she remembers one skill from when she was "one ". The remembered skill has half effect. The correct number is half, because Liddell is 1/2, and the effect is reduced by the amount of the division. When the skill to be learned and the skill to be recalled are the same, the effect of Liddell''s skill is 1.5 times as much as that of Riddell''s skill. So, can I specialize it? "Is [sky magic] indispensable to have <><> built?¡¡Liddell, are there any other skills you would like?" The maximum number of skills to be learned is set at 30. Together with the skills to be recalled, the total number of skills is sixty. Unlike your own skills, you have to choose them carefully. No, you should choose yours carefully. It is said that some skills are incompatible with each other and weaken both of them if they are carried together. "I would like to have the skill to take care of Spring and the others." That''s not in my skill set, so you''ll have to wait until tomorrow or so. Do you need anything in the reinforcement field?¡¡It seems to me that the earlier you learn, the easier it''s going to be for you down the road, you know?" I have to go to the casino to exchange and learn [herding]. "Yes, then, intelligence and dexterity?" He cocked his head. "If you''re planning on doing some fighting, you might want to have some speed or evasion. "Yes, you don''t seem like the VIT type, and if you''re thinking about collecting in the field, you should have it." "Quickness will help you move around town a little faster, too." Certainly, I can walk faster now instead of running faster. It is not like a race walk, but in the normal range. And the result is... Species-specific [Alice''s half-body] [DEX Specialization] [DEX Specialization] [DEX Specialization] [Concealment] [Illusion magic] [Mixing] [Throwing] [Throwing] [Alchemical concoction] [Dark magic [Appraise] [Self-repair M? Alchemy] [Self-repair H! [Dexterity enhancement] [Water magic] [Water magic] [Water magic] [Water magic] [Water magic] [Water magic] [Water magic [Intellectual enhancement] [Incapacitating illusion] [Incapacitating illusion] [Evasion] [Flask] [Agility enhancement] [Time magic] [Time magic] [Agility enhancement] [Time magic] [Agility enhancement] [Time magic [Air Magic] [Doll Making [Illusion magic] [Doll manipulation] [Dark magic] [Master''s servant] S!? (skill points) is 31, the left is the learned skill and the right is the remembered skill. The left is the skills I learned, and the right is the skills I remembered. I think the alchemist''s affinity with magic is not bad, and [Illusion Magic] is quite high cost even though Liddell originally had it. It is unthinkable for a player to have the same two skills in his/her status. When I mentioned that there is a limit to the number of skills that can be learned, Cal and Reno replied that it would be better to learn them after acquiring stronger skills, instead of forcing them to fill them all. I have a feeling that the labyrinth challenge is back. The incapacitating illusion creates a ball of water that blows up in a chain when touched. Is this a simplified version of the animals we fought?¡¡No, I think this one is more useful. Flask] was for making attacking liquid in a flask, and [Doll Making] was for making dolls that could be manipulated by [Doll Manipulation]. Toy soldiers or something like that?¡¡I''d be afraid of bisque dolls. Flask] seems to be a subdivision of alchemy, and [doll making] is a derivative of alchemy and sewing. Do we have to set up a sewing table as well? Master''s I] gives a title effect that affects the master''s party, even if you are not in a party with the master (me). --I feel like it''s a meaningless skill if the master doesn''t have the title. ....... "[Master, [Illusion Magic] matching?" "Oh." Liddell laughs happily and tilts his head cockily. "Buh!¡¡Wait a minute!¡¡Skills, they''re growing! "No, your skills haven''t increased that much?" I think it''s the titles that have increased. "No, no, no?" "Homura?" "What is [illusion magic]?¡¡Is it okay to ask?" "It''s a magic for large scale battles (raids), which is more effective the more people are targeted, and works in a very wide range and evenly. Maybe it''s because I haven''t had a chance to cast it on a large number of people, but I haven''t been able to raise its level at all. He takes a sip of tea and replies. "Raid ......" I''ve never heard of it. "You''re still so light-hearted and disjointed. ......" "I see that Homura possesses a rare magic." Reno told me it was rare. Well, it was a reward for a solo defeat, so it must be rare. I tried to strengthen [Illusion Magic]. I multiplied it by 1.5 times with the skills I made him learn and the skills I remembered that had been weakened. When I return to the "one Alice", my skills will remain the same and my title will return, so I should be able to find the "one who lives in illusion" in Liddell--Alice. My title will not disappear, however. It is said that there were three titles when I was "One Alice", but the other two are hidden and I don''t know them now. If I had been able to identify them when we fought, I might have been able to find out. As for the skills, when Alice becomes 1/1, one Alice, she gets 30 [remembered skills] (fixed types) and 30 from the top rank of skills that each player has made her learn, up to a maximum of 60. The order of priority of the players is the order of their participation in the party, and the [remembered skills] are weakened and integrated by the number after Alice''s name. Yes, that''s right. That''s why I think that [Dark Magic] is for the case that Peter is definitely making a Dark Specialized Alice, and she becomes <>. If it is confirmed that she is specialized in darkness, I wonder what Peter''s <> is. <> and are fused, they should get it alternately from their [learned skills]. In the meantime, can I discuss this with Peter later and rank the skills to fifteen? "Lord, when you return the items to Miss Ekaterina, please show them to me, okay?¡¡We have to let you choose your skills." "......[Sacred Magic] is a good idea, I think." He looks away as hard as he can as Cal says this. "You have [sacred magic (it)] too?¡¡Your skills are a mystery to me. ......" Reno says in a puzzled tone. "What on earth are they trying to hide this time?" "I knew it was a nanny-type thing, right?" "I think there''s something wrong with Homura''s standards for hiding things." I kept quiet, drank my tea, and made no comment. Cal and Reno are going to take a nap a little longer, this time in bed. At night they will go back to the labyrinth in search of the . Somehow Galahad and the others are looking at me, but I think it''s just my imagination. It''s just my imagination. The two of them are now more likely to be rare with Verna''s blessing, but I''m here hoping that they won''t be rare. I mean, can you even spare five layers including the boss of Fel Farsilut in one night? ....... Noel and Liddell accompanied Eagle to the apothecary guild. Eagle''s recent routine seems to be to save T-points in the arena afterwards. They are moving by transfer, but I think it would be obvious if they were escorted by Eagle. I have a feeling that the case where a gentile (player) talks to Noel and Liddell is ....... Lapidus, Galahad and Camilla are taking a simple request at the Adventurers'' Guild. What kind of gifted people are you!¡¡Galahad is teaching her in a lively manner, and Camilla is trying to stop him from doing too much. After learning the basics at the apothecary guild - unlike gentiles (players), residents do not develop skills immediately - Noel is going to join them. Galahad and the others are substituting for Cal until he finishes his labyrinthine journey. In any case, we were a little relieved to hear that the Adventurers'' Guild would only accept requests as long as they did not interfere with the afternoon opening of the guild. The only request that could be done in the morning would be to take down the rabbit-type enemies around the fast. And with a luxurious escort. "I should also register ...... Liddell." "I wonder what a homunculus would be treated as?" Status-wise, they are pets, but I don''t dare to say so. "I think you should be registered with the guild after a period of observation like me, right? We changed our plans and Liddell and I went to the Adventurers'' Guild first. It''s a bit tedious to explain, but would it be easier if we had a guildmaster (guildmaster)? I hope so. 161 - - The Guild Again Arrive at the Adventurers'' Guild in Barron. The guild in Fast is always overflowing with people chasing after the receptionist, so we went here. The application for the island was also made here, so the procedure in the masked form (lenguard) would be smoother in Baron, probably. Welcome. I wonder if it''s my imagination, but I feel the eyes of the adventurers in front of the guild''s bulletin board are focused on me. Liddell''s china-white face is soft to the touch, but perhaps it''s because they recognize him as something other than a person at first glance. Or maybe the receptionist has a fan club. Excuse me, is Guild Master Bruce at work today? I don''t think you can meet a busy Guilmouth with a C rank, but just in case. would be great. Please let me also use the alchemy table in the preparation stage. The skill ¡¾Doll Making¡¿alone can be used, but it seems to be weakened, so I would like to have ¡¾Sewing¡¿, since it is more efficient with ¡¾Alchemy Mixing¡¿and ¡¾Sewing¡¿, from which it is derived. "Okay, I will make sure that the materials can be taken out of the warehouse. Please let me know if there are any materials that you need or want. I had a vague idea about [sewing], so I put it on the list of available items. By the way, I sewed a quilt, so if I get it, my specialty will be bedding or a quilt. When I made her learn [Sewing], Liddell remembered [Magic Reflex]. I paid S! (skill point) I paid is 3, and I have 28 left. I''m sure it will increase as my level goes up, but it seems to take forever. "Thank you for waiting. There is a knock at the door, and the receptionist who first showed me around, Bruce, and Abbey, a pale blonde I don''t recognize, walk in. The pale blonde has pointed ears and looks like an elf. The receptionist replaces my coffee and Liddell''s with new ones and leaves the room. "......" "Wow. ......" "This is ......." When the receptionist walked away, there was no sign of sitting down, and the three people standing there shouted indescribably. Apparently, they were surprised to see Liddell. "Shall we sit down for now?" The blonde restores her hold and urges the other two to join her. I am Cain, guildmaster of Alsuna, the capital of the Isle of Isle. Nice to meet you. "Nice to meet you." Cain seems to be the only one operating, while Abey and Bruce are frozen looking at Liddell. "You''ve attacked <>, have you?" "Yes, I came to ask how I would be treated and how I would be registered in the guild, but I wasn''t sure if I should apply to the receptionist as a homunculus or not. I asked for a meeting to see if it was a good idea." "Anyone with a high level of [appraisal] or [eye] will already know that you are a homunculus. Fast, or at the reception of the guild here." Yeah, I''m also working on my level of [appraisal] in crowded places, and Liddell is somewhat inorganic. If I had any concern about her, she would [appraise] if she had [appraise]. "But I''m not going to keep Liddell locked up, am I?" "Yes. The homunculus humanoid is either a registered adventurer or a registered pet, depending on whether it can make some decisions and move without a master, or whether it can only perform the routines it is instructed to do." Cain glances at Liddell with slanted eyes. I have a feeling that this man himself has [eyes]. "From what I''ve seen, I think it''s possible to register as an adventurer. However, as with pets, if they run amok in the city, the responsibility will fall to you, the master, so please be aware of that. "Yeah, I got it." Is it my fault if Bahamut gets out of control ....... "After registration, there is no problem in terms of regulations if you behave like a person, but homunculus is still rare. We cannot predict how gentiles and favorites will behave, so please take that into consideration." Favorsome...... come to think of it, Noel also hid his unusual white hair. It''s no longer a problem now that more and more gentiles (players) have white hair. I hope there will be more homunculus soon. "...... Fast''s bad taste in the wrong direction is said to have floated into the Gulf of Secant the other day. It''s not completely safe now with all the activity and people coming in and out, and the inevitable laxity in checking for people coming in from other places, but it''s safe to walk around in Fast." Says the resurrected Abay. "That''s too soon for that, isn''t it?" "That''s right!¡¡It''s only been a few days since we were here the other day talking about the island!" Bruce, who had been in a frenzy, sounds as if he is awakening. He is a man who uses polite words for a man who looks like a man. "Well, I went there as a preview, and I guess I just went for it," he says. "You can''t just wander in there and clear it!" "Bruce, calm down." Abay suppresses Bruce''s insistence to lean forward. "<>, of course there''s another Alice, right?" "Well, yeah." Does this one also have [eye], or is the level of [appraisal] higher? "1/2......" Bruce mumbled dumbly, repeating Abay''s words. He is too big and too sensitive, is he?¡¡Barron''s Adventurers Guild. Abbaye and Bruce are of good physique, but have unremarkable facial features that are not distinctive. They might look like they had a scar on their cheeks. In contrast, Cain has pale straight blond hair that reaches down to his shoulder blades, a white face, pointed ears, and a soft-spoken but cold good-looking face. Perhaps he is a typical elf, but this is a mystery to me since I have never spoken up close to any elves other than gentiles. "When the guild investigated, there is a record that only more than one party could proceed. ......" How did you do it?¡¡Abay turned to me with questioning eyes. "Yeah, we both went." "Lid ......?" "...... don''t understand a bit." Hmm?¡¡Su?¡¡I looked at Cain, and he smiled at me in a mended way. Is this the Guild Master (Guilmouth) who seems to be elegant on the outside, but is a disappointment on the inside? "Huh?¡¡So you''re saying the other party is alone?¡¡So there are two Alice''s?¡¡Huh?¡¡Seriously?" Bruce is saying something, but he''s talking completely to himself, whispering too loudly, and his voice contains a puzzled "Huh? I can only hear what he says. "For now, the island will be surveyed again by the guild, but as I told you when we first met, there will be no problem with the capture. The girl is rightfully yours. Please proceed to the reception desk to complete the registration process." I''m afraid people will misunderstand what you mean by "rightfully yours". We go to the Adventurers'' Guild reception to register Liddell as an adventurer, and return to the fast. Bruce seems to have been damaged in some way...was he in charge of investigating Alice''s Island, perhaps? We hope that you will give up and be positive since you have completed the project. We send Liddell to the apothecary''s guild and transfer to the casino. The bad businessman from Fast is gone, but we can''t let Liddell walk alone for a while. I hear that there are people who are trying to mess with Lapidus and Noel as well. Anyway, I feel that the quests of the Assassin''s Guild are going wild with the criminal representatives in the slums and the favorites in this case. I''m afraid that a corpse will appear every two days if the Assassins Guild''s quests keep going on and on. Eagle may have already taken it, but I wonder if I have to take the skill stones of [Transfer] for the number of people.¡¡For the second time, I have a feeling that the casino is already on our radar, but there is nothing we can do about it. No, this is the first time I''m going in this form (Lengard). I wonder if the winner of the tournament (Lengard) will not be banned even if he goes ...... a little reckless? 162 - - Treatment Now I am earning T points in the arena. I had to fight Babel and Horus again, but I won normally. I am better than them because of the accessories and the favor of the gods. I also tried to use [Shrinkage], but they usually returned my attacks. When I use it for melee attacks, I have to be close to the target, because of "Shrink the ground", the movement is straight, and it does not stop after the arrival point is decided. He did not move to the front as expected, but he moved back a little, and we were out of his range. Perhaps he was read by [Shinkan], but it seems to be better to use [Shrink] when avoiding than to use it to attack in a melee. It would be interesting to combine it with long-range physics. Gilweitzer would be able to use it for melee attacks as well. Oh, Babel and Horus are sunk early and lost the battle. I don''t know if there is a medical room or a temple in the arena, but they are transferred there so there is no problem. The arena despair (despena) can be revived by the inhabitants, but they can rest assured that they will not be allowed to enter the stage until the time of ability reduction has expired. Apart from the fact that they come at you with their clothes off, they are good opponents for training. ....... However, you can''t stay in the fight for a long time because you are in danger in a different way. The reason why I am earning T-points is because, after reading the explanation seriously, I found that the in the arena has better abilities than the in the casino. Both skills are for one person, but the one from the casino is almost the same as [Sky Magic]. The one in the arena turned out to be able to transfer directly to the registered transfer plate, though it seems that you have to have the temple set up a formula. As expected of the first place release, for example, the skill stones for production became "good at" and all of them are a little better than the casino''s prizes. I quickly got one for myself with the remaining 2900T. I also got a <500T which increases INT and DEX for Noel''s production: ....... I equipped Liddel with <, and many items with might have INT and DEX increasing effects. Maybe the final alchemy is to "equip them with fairy equipment" or something like that. The difference from the casino''s one is simply a numerical value, of course this one is better. And the reduced value is a little bit more expensive. The normal stage ends with a win over Babel and Horus. Out of curiosity, I started to challenge the ¡¾Constraint Stage¡¿, which gives more T-Points than the other stages. The first game [Attack magic sealed] A black wolf appeared. Is it just me, or does it seem a bit reckless of you to suddenly "seal off offensive magic"?¡¡The black wolf jumped at him and he intercepted it by pulling back half his body. The second battle Item sealed. The enemy that appeared was a yagyakul. Don''t give me a second boss out of the blue!¡¡But he won the game by downing a man with his sword. The third battle [INT half-sealed] The enemy appeared was a plant type enemy that appeared in the way of Sir. A flash and the game is over. The fourth battle H!? 10% reduction. The enemy that appeared was a Hoss bear. Rumor has it that the reduction is from 5% to 50%. It''s too much of a hassle to recover, so you''d like to finish the game with a flash, but it''s not always easy next time, so you''ll have to recover before the flash. H!?" may decrease its maximum value. Round 5 H!? Recovery The enemy appeared to be a water polyp from Faina. By luck or not, I recovered all of them right after I had recovered. ....... I wonder if the enemies in each area, including the boss, appear randomly. After each battle, I was asked whether to "quit" or "continue", and I chose "quit" for the first time. If you choose "quit," you keep all T points and drops from enemies you have fought, but if you choose "continue" and lose, everything is lost. However, the T-points are doubled from 1T in the first game to 2T in the second game, 4T in the third game, and 8T in the fourth game, which is quite attractive. Round 6 Recovery magic seal The enemy is a high goblin general. Items are sealed and there is no way to recover!¡¡The general itself was not so serious, and we were able to defeat him easily, but it would be reckless to try the next challenge in this condition. The sealed items will be carried over unless a "bite" is issued. Although this is only the second time, it seems that the boss appears once or twice in every five rounds. The first time I tried, [fist seal], [fire attribute seal], and [confusion added] followed, and it was pretty easy, but there is a strong element of luck in the types of enemies that appear. No, it seems that the confusion skill was used with the announcement right after the start of the game, but I was able to resist it, so I wonder if it can be prevented to some extent by the equipment. It would be better if we prepare several kinds of skills so that we can deal with them even if they are sealed. I will ask ...... Singh and Gilweitzer if they have any recovery skills for the fist fighters before we fight again. Ochazuke mentioned that he has chakra, so we can probably find something to heal ourselves. After finishing the challenge in the arena, I went to raid the casino ....... As soon as you pass the entrance through the connecting passage to the arena, the manager is ready to intercept you. I''m wearing a mask now, aren''t I?¡¡Sandwiched between two gorgeous beauties, the manager greets you with a beaming smile. While I''m being greeted, I''m the one being sandwiched by the gorgeous beauties. The one on the left has her arms around me, or rather her breasts, and the one on the right has her arms around my waist and is leaning lightly against me. It hurts me to look at them. The stares from the other customers are painful! "Dear Mr. Lengard, thank you for your first visit. We hope the winner of the competition will enjoy our restaurant." But I''ve already trolled the place twice. I would have preferred to play roulette, which is a game of luck, but since roulette is not my favorite game, I decided to play blackjack today. The manager quietly recommends the one with the higher rate, but is it because T-points can be converted into sil via G that I''m a sucker lock on? Blackjack is a simple game in which the cards are counted as 10 and A''s are counted as 1 or 11, whichever you prefer. The first two cards dealt are "10 or picture" and "A", 21 being the strongest, and three cards are stronger than 21. And while you can try to improve your chances of winning, there is a strong element of luck. The manager''s face is a little blue, but that''s not a problem. I felt bad at roulette, but don''t be afraid to sucker a guy who tries to sucker you. You''re the one who brought him to the high-rate table, and the dealer has been bursting at the seams the first few times, just to be polite. It was a very natural frustration, but if you just look at the progress of the game without looking at his expression, you can see that he was intentionally drawing cards until he hit 21 to make you feel good about winning. The beautiful women on either side of me were also lifting me up in a creepy way at first, but now their expressions are a little stiff. I guess I''m just a little bit sane that I don''t tell the dealer my cards. ......I''m aware that I don''t genuinely enjoy gambling because I always suspect my opponent''s tricks at the beginning. I guess I''m happier if I feel good in the game, and enjoy myself even if I have to gamble G''s and spend them in a more hawkish way. I have <<><> for Haru, <> for Liddel''s doll making, <<>> for my doll''s image since its face is made of pottery, <> for alchemy. For Noel <>. <<><>,<>. <, although I think Kal already has them. Seven substitute dolls. <> and some materials. I feel a bit nervous about getting Stars for , and am surprised to see that some people have already gotten Stars for . I wonder if there are players who are serious about becoming livestock farmers, since they didn''t get any Stars for [Farming] either. ...... or perhaps [Pastoralism] is Kikuhime!¡¡It was one of my relatives. This is the result of exchanging all of them, including the ones I left without exchanging last time. I hope the casino manager stays strong. I''m sure he will exploit someone other than me, so I guess it''s ok, more gentiles are coming. Now to the island of the houses. I would like to have storage for consignment sales in my private house, but I wonder which commercial guild I should belong to in this case. I''ve been using [Change Demon] with such thoughts in mind. I bought a large amount of <<< rabbit rabbit stone>> and have been trying to replace it with the troublesome << sea cow, green>>. The effect is only effective if you are in your own territory. The difficulty level increases in proportion to the size of the area to be replaced, and the replacement requires the magic stone of the demon to be replaced, and only magic stones of the same or lower skill level can be used. The level of the stone is now visible separately from the rank from the time the skill is learned. It seems that the average level of the magic stone is the average level of the tribe. I bought level 1 to 3 magic stones and massacred rabbits with ranged magic. Since there are already no adventurers who hunt demons of this level, it is unlikely that they are robbing other people''s prey. ...... though it almost upset the balance of the meat distribution a little bit. I''ve prepared level 3 magic stones, but I can''t seem to succeed in replacing the level 1 magic stones. This is because of the wide range of the target demons and the fact that the target demons are much higher than level 50. It seems that the closer the level of the target stone is, the easier it is to replace it, but all the demons on this island are over level 50. Can''t you make a special stage to raise the skill level of [Switch Demon]? This skill is special, and it cannot be raised to level 2 unless you succeed in replacing a level 1 demon stone with a level 2 demon stone. In order to move up to level 3, you have to succeed with a level 2 magic stone. If all the members had obtained this skill at the same time, they might have had a hard time competing for the magic stone. If we succeeded in changing the demon to a flying rabbit, it should be easier since the next change will be at level 1 and 2. ....... I''ve been hoarding them every time I see them since I got the "change rabbit" skill, but I''ve run out of them. I went back to fast and looked at the consignments, but there were only a very small number of early demon gems for sale that didn''t fetch much money. Before I got my skills, I had been selling them off to the residents for a dumping price because I couldn''t be bothered to sell them.

Synergy I gave up replacing the demons when I ran out of magic stones, and am now working on the [garden]. I want to raise the level of [carpenter] quickly and take care of the house itself. I also need to collect materials such as wood and stone. I have succeeded in making a garden that can be called a field, although my level of [Agriculture] is low, thanks to my skills [Plant Growth] and [Green Earth] and my titles [Dur''s Fruit], [Dur''s Earth], and [Dur''s Fingertip], even against the grass. I thought I should buy not only a hoe but also proper work clothes, because I thought it was quite surrealistic to see him swinging a hoe in his black coat when he was a swordsman in the early days of his career. I found that I had only bought more robes and coats, I regretted. Some of the robes have been given to other people for some reason. By the way, the hoe I bought had an inscription of << swallow of iron> on it. It is certainly better than the swords of the area, but please forgive me for feeling a little sensitive about it. I planted a sugarcane plant named <>, which I will have to grow first. I know enough to cut it into 10cm pieces and take cuttings, but I will look into it in detail before it grows. After a short pause, I planted the that Dulu gave me. I remember that my grandmother used to grow them, so there is no problem here. I have to put down some straw before the strawberries start growing!¡¡This is a must, since the name "strawberries" (strawberries) means strawberries. The rest may be a bit fuzzy, but the game correction should work: ....... I wonder how the fruit trees would be arranged?¡¡And continue working, pretending not to see it at all costs. What? The unusual trio of Ruscha, Val, and Fal are setting up a banquet hall near the . This is supposed to be my garden, but a banquet hall of the gods is being set up in the middle of the garden. Can I complain to the management about this? No, I will not, since I am the one who did not refuse. I couldn''t refuse it because I thought it would be better than having a banquet in my house, and also because of the shame of having already received a housewarming gift from Dru and Verna. Gufu....... I try not to look at it, but it still bothers me. Ruscha has a white building, which looks more like a blue building, appear as if it is rising out of the ground, and I look at it with a sigh, and then I touch up the details. The building is lined with circular columns, and together with the lack of walls, it has the shape of an exquisite birdcage. Not being told what to do, I let my curiosity get the better of me and end up watching the work being done up close. Every time Ruscha touches them, the patterns of the columns and stairs change from simple vertical grooves to arabesque patterns, or reliefs of birds and flowers appear, and it is interesting just to look at them. It seems that Val has made a request for the shape of the building, which will be quite open. Phal has been restless for a while now, bringing out all kinds of fabrics such as carpets, cushions, and mattresses, trying different arrangements and colors in the building. "Is this how it''s going to be?" Apparently satisfied, Ruscha takes her hands off the building. "It''s good, isn''t it? It would be even better if we could ask Verna to moon us for the evening feast. Although it is a separate space, there are day and night, and the moon and stars can be seen at night. "Hmm, Homura can take off her clothes whenever she wants." "I''m not taking it off." Don''t suddenly drag me into your conversation. "Hoho, what would you like for your housewarming gift?" Val asks. "Nothing in particular ......, do you want water for the dairy cows (Haru-san)?¡¡The watering hole I put out with [feng shui] will soon be eroded by the grass and revert to a meadow, and I''d be happy to learn how to do something about it." "That''s my domain. I''ll make sure it''s big enough to swim." I told you, I''m not taking it off. Don''t try to get me to take off my clothes at every opportunity, you sorry goddess. "Then I shall make the water available to you across the interstices of your home as well." "Oh, that''s great." Of course it can be used for cooking, but it''s a case of getting a bath. "Well, I guess I''m still in the process of building my house, so I''ll send you some wood that won''t diminish. "Thank you." I''m honestly glad to hear that. "Well, I''ll take a pair of pants with extreme attractiveness: ......" "Rejected." "Why do you hate it so much!" "Why are you so obsessed with underpants!" "Of course it''s because I want to see you naked, full of charm!" "If you take it all off, you''re just a person!" Why is it that for someone with such a neat appearance, all she can talk about is nakedness, underwear, and fascination? "......Well, if you take off your clothes at the critical moment, I''m sure they will be shocked at the difference." "Girls are going to be disillusioned. I still don''t think plating is the way to go.¡¡It does have the advantage of being lightweight, though." --I think the lighter the hairpiece, the less tired I''ll be. No, well, I''m not going to take it off, but I''m thankful that the two of you are placating Fal. "If you''re going to do this, you might as well do it naked. Val says with a laugh. "Even if you''re completely naked. ......" Fal''s eyes are scrutinized a little. "Both of you?" "Hey?" I take back what I said before, it was only Ruscha who was soothing me. I have obtained the title "Val''s Quest". I have obtained the title of "The Inclined One. I got the title [Pity of Ruscha]. << was acquired. <<> was acquired. > of rebirth has been acquired. was acquired. has been released. has been released. In celebration of Phal''s housewarming, a < appeared in my [garden], where the water gushes out in full force, and the water is bad. As a housewarming gift from Ruscha, I was given a , a material that is restored to its original state the next day, and I planted it immediately. <<>, though described as shoes, are more like ornaments, delicate thin chains and jewels combined to decorate the ankles and insteps. They have the very useful effect of transferring to any person''s location from the list of partner cards. ...... will not be fooled by such a thing! Title [leaning] £¡£¡£¡£¡¡¡What have you done to me ahhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!¡¡You can''t walk outside without a mask (homura) ahhh £¡£¡£¡£¡ They say that his face hasn''t changed, but his figure is in trouble. What do you want me to do? ....... Is my face an obscenity?¡¡Attractiveness and fascination are said to be extreme. It seems that just hiding the face will reduce the effect of the "inclination", so it''s not a problem for Lengard. Ruscha sympathized with me and gave me a new mask. It may sound like a cursed item if you only hear that it reduces the effect of the title on the surroundings, but it is a mask that makes you invisible when you wear it, as it is labeled "transparent". It is a play that makes you look like a real person even though you are wearing a mask. I made him feel uncomfortable when he shouted that he didn''t want to wear the mask in the usual way, even at the time of Rengaard. I am very thankful that more and more titles are becoming more and more obvious to those who are in the party. The title [Pity of Lusha] seems to be kindly given by the ruler of Lusha. ....... From the spirit of gold or something?¡¡In addition, it may stimulate Pertin''s maternal instincts. I''m just saying, since it''s a mystery whether dragons have maternal instincts. The title [Val''s Quest] is a title that you will be blessed with good luck if you challenge something you have never done before or if you go to a place you have never been to before. Is it a title that makes it easier to get rare items from the first boss you beat or something like that? And one wind and one water spirit were invited to the [garden]. Since they are not recognized as the master of the garden, I could only catch a glimpse of them, but I heard that if they get to know each other well, they will be able to summon spirits like [Rufa] and [Kuroyoh] by spirit techniques. For now, it is said that a pleasant breeze is blowing in the garden and water is flowing without stagnation. Is it this pleasant breeze that I can feel at the moment? --It''s enough even if we can''t call it into battle. But still... Isn''t that usually reserved for women? I can only think of Chinese beauties like Lady Megumi and Yang Kwei-Fei. Well, it can''t be helped that the word "kokoku" comes from a poem written in the Han Dynasty. If I had to pick a Japanese one, it would be Tamamo-no-Mae. Her face and appearance have not changed, but I don''t understand why she becomes so as soon as the word "inclined" is added to her name. ....... Even if Leo has this title, are you still confused?¡¡Like. If there were two [leaning countries], would they be confused by both of them and move left and right between them? I can only imagine the contrast. ¡î ¡î ¡î ¡î ¡î ¡î ¡î ¡î ¡î ¡î ¡î ¡î ¡î ¡î ¡î ¡î I got the title of "First Solo Defeat [Wind Conqueror]. I got the , the reward for my first solo defeat. I am pleased to announce that has been defeated solo on the 25th basement floor of the labyrinth. I got Lesser Zoo''s Claws x5. I got Lesser Zoo Feather x5. I have obtained 5 Lesser Zoo tail feathers. I got the Lesser Zoo''s magic stone. I got a wind robe x10. I got a wind-resistant ring +3. I got the from Lesser Zoo. I started from the 20th basement floor and defeated the boss on the 25th floor. I thought they had something lizard-like after the salamander and basilisk, but it turned out to be a bird. The Lesser Zoo was big, but its beak was too long and slender, and its wings were so bald that I wondered how it flew. The bird had a tail, or tail feathers as birds call them, but it looked like a tail to me. There are some decorative feathers on the tip of the tail. ...... I asked Galahad about it later, and he told me that it is commonly known as << bald-headed zoo>. It seems to be a popular name among the gentiles. Lesser Zoo is difficult for magic to penetrate, and its flying makes it incompatible with both magic and melee crafts, but, well, I can fly. I think that the original plan is to hit some eggs on the ground, and when they get angry and come down to the ground, they will attack all at once. However, there must be some kind of rule for striking the eggs, and the first one exploded. Lesser Zoo came down, but our attack was also painful, so we had to fight back while recovering. In the second case, a crocodile was born and there were more enemies on the ground. I don''t know what kind of attacks they will make, but I think they are dangerous if we don''t deal with them first. The title of his first solo defeat was [Wind Conqueror], a wind version of the [Fire Conqueror] that appeared at the time of Salamander. I wonder what was the title of the basilisk that the rabbit girl got, was it "the conqueror of the earth" or something like that? The reward for the first solo attack was a , an instrument somewhere between a mandolin and a biwa. It is beautifully decorated ...... though I don''t need it. Is there a bard in the profession, a staple of fantasy? I proceeded through the labyrinth, a bit dazed and distracted. ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ More...

While the salamander''s root is of the lizard-snake type, this one''s enemies seem to be of the bird type. And the mulattoes, whether they are edible monsters or not, drop items for each part of the body. When I get back home, I''m going to prepare chicken ham and have a fried chicken festival. I''m in a good mood after getting the food, my simple structure. > Then he invokes the healing furball to steadfastly maintain his mental peace. > <<< Is that so? >> At White''s suggestion, he puts his arm around her and sniffs, but he cannot smell his own scent. > <> Generally speaking, titles are more effective than skills, but they are not at your disposal as much as skills. > <> I''ve been kicked in the nuts. <> <> <<< Please send your complaints to Fal and Val. ......[leaning this way] You think it''s bad? >> > White says tiredly. It seems that the effect of the "inclination" is seen in the face - or rather, in the skin and eyes. White says that even without showing it, there is an indescribable scent wafting from his skin and hair. Masks are always worn. Try to stay within a five-meter radius of the building. Do not go to a private room with someone where smells are concentrated. White''s advice is as above. < < Nice call, me!¡¡I just came straight here to get away from the gloom. I proceeded through the labyrinth while using [Inducement]. The ceiling is low in this layer, which is disadvantageous to flying enemies, but the space becomes wider from the 30th layer, which I predict will be advantageous to enemies. I had thought that the route where fairies and other creatures appeared might be less effective against physical attacks, but considering the speed of the enemies, it might be that long-distance physical attacks < melee attacks < magic attacks. This is proximity < magic < long range physics. When I tried [alchemy magic] <>[throwing], I got quite a lot of damage, which is a common result, but it seems to be weak against long-range physical attacks. I wonder if the rabbit girl''s route is magic < long-range physical < melee. White seems to agree. The effect of the sword''s dragon ring and [Physics/Effect] are also there, but the fact that long-range physics is effective means that it is expected to have resistance to slashes and blows, rather than physical resistance. Because of the dragon ring, it is easier to deal with the wide range of resistances such as [Physical Resistance] and [Magic Resistance]. It may be that they are divided in such a way because they are not easy to deal with. It doesn''t matter to White and me whether the enemy is flying or not, but it is a little difficult to deal with an enemy who has resistance to magic reflection and slash and is weak against penetration. As in the arena, if your skills are uneven, you will be stuck. Maybe we should look at the skills we have not acquired so far. Since birds are the main animals here, and there is no magic reflection, thanks to [Bird Slayer], I was able to progress rather smoothly. I was thinking seriously about such things, but it is the door to the boss. Multiki''s peaches, breasts, cecelia, chicken wings, liver, and chrysalis: ....... Make sure you have enough in storage (pockets). <<< hurry up!¡¡It''s time for me to return ......>> White rushes me, peppering me. <> Behind the door was . Lesser Zoo was a normal, but this one is a rare species. Galahad and others told us that the Black Hydra was originally a Yellow Hydra, but I wonder what color the normal here was. Since Bahamut had zapped the Black Hydra, this was practically the first time to fight a hydra, so let''s be careful. < > Aaaaaaahhhhh! The five heads of the White Hydra all raise their heads in unison and howl. It''s sleek and pretty for a hydra. <> As it roars, a white foamy mist shoots out from the hydra''s body, killing the green moss on the ground. The bubbling liquid continues to invade the ground even as the white hydra moves. The footholds are not a problem, but the area of fine bubbles floating like a mist around the White Hydra is dangerous. And the white subterranean dragon repels magic. Or rather, it takes magic into its body once and spits it out as breath. Moreover, slashes with swords do little damage. Exceptions are at level 30 of [Gold Magic], and made by [Alchemy]. However, the ones made by [Alchemy] don''t really give much damage because I have neither spear skill nor bow skill. Especially, I don''t have a bow, so I grabbed the < and stabbed it, which is quite a terrible picture, even if it was for a verification experiment. On the other hand, the [Lightning] system was terrible. Reflected by the white mist, it amplified and doubled the damage, and White Hydra recovered. If I had come with my party and charged a [Lightning Magic] and hit it, I would have been a great war criminal. I have a feeling that there will be a mist dragon or something like that later on. I''ll remember the prohibition against lightning for that time. <, the five heads snapped back together. I cut off the snapped heads and burn the wounds on the body with fire magic. This is the method used by Galahad and the others who fought against Yellow Hydra. When he is healthy, he does not accept swords at all, but when his head is down, he seems to be an exception, and both physics and magic pass through him well. While you gain overall damage, if you don''t drop the head and burn it, it will come back to life. After dropping four heads, they also became resistant to <>. It would have taken much longer if I had given priority only to removing the heads instead of taking damage. I got the title of "the one who has the white realm" for my first solo defeat.

Given what White said, it would be unwise to go to the general store. I was thinking of ....... "Lord." "Lord!" I ran into Lapidus and Noel as fast as I could at the relay point temple. As soon as our eyes met - I was masked - they came running with their usual pitter-patter and hugged me from both sides. I think it''s time to tell them to refrain from going outside. I should have gone directly to the "House" using the "transfer" I got in the arena, but out of habit I used the "sky magic" and went out to the temple. Well, he''s still young, so the influence of the "leanings" should be weak. "...... Lord, you smell good." "It feels kind of nice." Outooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo! The beastly sense of smell, the beastly sense of smell!¡¡Stop rubbing your noses together. It''s still safe, but if it grows another ten centimeters, you''ll be out of all sorts of trouble! I can''t change the mask here, though I think it would be a little better if I wore the one Ruscha gave me. For now, I''m going to move to the House to avoid publicity. I''m not a loli shorty at all!¡¡Even so, it''s a disturbing title in the arena. Oh, I named it "House" because I could name it "House" as well as "Box Garden". No complaints will be accepted. I run into the [garden] to hold the two who are wagging their tails comfortably while still attached to each other. It is strange that they always leave each other as soon as they start to move, so as not to disturb each other. It''s a small thing, but it''s an anomaly. And too familiar. Maybe they''re here. I hope so. --I got my wish, or rather, I expected it, Tascha, Asha, and Verus were there. "I''m sorry to be the first to say this, but you really need to do something about this." I appeal to Tascha. "Why are you appealing to Tascha alone, when Verus here is also here? Verus comes up to me and says reluctantly, "It''s a matter of credibility. He is as sparkling as ever. "Luscha told me too. Put on the mask that the money man gave you. I will replace the masks as you have told me. Lapidus and Noel are sitting on the ground where they were dropped off. They seem to be frozen in place, startled by the sudden encounter with the three strangers. "Oh, so that''s the effect of the [inclination] that Falu put on you. It''s more than a person can handle. Asha says somewhat buoyantly. You''ll do anything if it''s Fal, you god of underpants. "If you''d have held on to Fal, we wouldn''t be in this mess..." he says. "A man''s life is but a moment to the gods. I don''t want to bind them even for such a short time, I want Falu to be Falu." Asha, who seems to be saying good things and declares that she is a goddess of regret, oh my God, ......! "...... you are also in trouble." Tasya touches his forehead through his mask. "[The title] is sealed. Normally, they are given to those who have committed ordeals or crimes, but if you can adjust it yourself as a [skill], it should be no problem." "As expected of a lawgiver, but if it''s a test, it''s me!" With a snap, he flips off his robe and Verus speaks up. "No, thank you." Don''t, don''t do anything I don''t want you to do. "No, don''t be shy. My beautiful Verna seems to like you. "...... will be sending you a gift either way." Oh, did you come with Verus to keep an eye on things, Tascha? You sound tired and resigned. Verus is very excited, which is disturbing. "This banquet hall? is finished?" "Well, it seems the god of craft has been particular. Without us it''s just a stone pavilion. I don''t think it''s just. It is so graceful and delicate that it is hard to believe it is made of stone. The white of the building alone is beautiful, although the fabrics that Falu had offered last time are no longer there. You are free to use it as you like. This is your garden, after all. We are renters." "I hope there is storage so you can have your food when I''m not around." "I could ask this tree of life to help me." I looked at the tree to see if there was a hinged roof, and found that the roof was made at a good height for putting in and taking out. Did you just make it? And perhaps because it has grown up, it has changed its name from to . I wonder if it will become a big tree in time. < has grown visibly. If it grows at such a rate, the [box garden], which I thought was spacious, may soon start to feel small. It still has drops on its leaves and is spreading its branches not only upward but also downward. "From me, . I had thought I would have to give you a gift of armaments, but Rusha had built a fireplace for me. is my domain, you know. I didn''t know you were making a stove, you''re too serious about the banquet. "Thank you." It''s a nice, peaceful gift, if a bit pricey. It would be normal if it didn''t involve Fal, but once it does, I don''t know why it''s like that. Love is blind, it seems. "Well, we can''t stay long in a place we haven''t settled yet." Next time I see you, please bring me something tasty." Tasya says, and Asya laughs. He has a manly look on his face, as if he were a warlord. Why is it that we are so deceived by the Goddess of Shame, really? "I want something beautiful to my eyes!" My through and through skills come into play when I visit ...... Verus. Just to follow up, here is another god of majesty and splendor. I got the title "Sword of Asha". I have obtained the title "Guardian of the Trees. I have obtained the title "The Reason of Verus. Skill [Title Sealing of Techniques and Laws]. <> disappeared in order to gain the skill [Title Seal of Skill and Law]. Skill [double payback] has been acquired. Skill Return] and [Double Return] will be merged into the skill [Skill Double Return]. was acquired. was acquired. . The title [Asha''s Sword] is a bonus to swordsmanship skills, including swordsmanship, and growth compensation. The title ¡¾Guardian of Trees¡¿increases the bonus when you use the skills of protection such as ¡¾Warding¡¿, and makes it easier to get good branches in the place where there is a tree. --Is it for a walking stick?¡¡At any rate, it is said that trees love us. As a person who is going to renovate my house, I feel a little uncomfortable because I will not be able to use it as a material. The title [Verus no Ri]: When you release a sealed power, the effect is multiplied several times. The size and duration of the effect depends on how long the power has been sealed. ...... Verus said something about ordeals and gifts. However, I''m going to seal [inclination], but what will happen if I release it? The skill [Sealing of titles of skills and laws] can be used to seal one''s own titles at will. By "technique and law", do you mean Lusha and Tasha?¡¡Since the gods are basically equal in power, it seems that the influence of a particular god becomes stronger if his attributes (aisho) are unbalanced, and there are cases in which titles of that lineage cannot be suppressed. Also, if the user (me) forgets himself in anger, it is released. The effect may be a little loose, but it is a very useful skill. Skill Double Payback] is just as it sounds. The activation itself seems to be determined by the probability of the level, whether I have the same skill or not, and the number of times I have received the skill of the target. Of course, the more I have the same skill and the more times I have received the target skill, the more likely it is to be activated. > is a flint stone which appears to have flickering flames inside two black stones, and which catches fire when it is struck lightly. <> increases the power of fire-attribute attacks when attached to a staff or sword, and nullifies fire-attribute damage when attached to armor. <> increases the power of magic, especially in the wood attribute system. Not only wood magic, but also time magic. I should go to Julius'' place to see if he has a new staff. <<> are long-awaited pants, though it may sound like I don''t usually wear them when I say so. The effect is an increase in the critical rate and a rare avoidance of attacks. The effect is not that I avoid the attack, but that the attack itself disappears. It seems to be a tricky and difficult effect, which is typical of Verus. "Lord, Lapis now has [Asha''s Blessing], [Tasya''s Blessing], and [Verus'' Blessing]." "I have [Tasya''s blessing], [Asha''s blessing] and [Verus'' blessing]. ...... title [Obeyer], which seems to be in the same category as [Dedicateer] that appeared on Lord Kalu." "Lapidus is there, too." Bwah!¡¡No, yes, that''s the way it''s going to turn out. I was in such a hurry because of the effect of the "inclination" that I didn''t think of it. I don''t know why she looks up at me with her sparkling eyes so happily. How is it to be tied to a person at your age? ......Ah, wolf beastmen are happy to follow the leader of the pack, the master of their hearts'' content, aren''t they? I heard that there will be a time to choose again when you become an adult, whether to be independent and become someone else''s master, or to find a new master and follow him, so I think I can serve as a substitute for my parents until then. But my status is not for your children to see!¡¡I don''t know... I just don''t feel like it. On the other hand, I don''t want the adults (Cal) to see it either. I pat Lapis and Noel''s heads, feeling at a loss for what to do. The soft and nice touch was worth the expensive shampoo in the bathroom of the grocery store! ...... is not the time to be thinking about that. "Lord, you have a red pattern on your forehead." Noel looks up at me and tells me curiously. "Yeah, it seems to be a pattern that appears when a skill is manifested. The title seal of [Sealed Title of Skill and Law] is said to have a lotus flower pattern floating on its forehead while it is sealed. The others have yet to be sealed, but I sealed the [Inclination] first of all. "Lord, that''s cool." "Thank you?" Lapidus praised me, saying he liked the pattern. "Let''s go back to the general store for now." ""Yes.""" ...... I''m sure Galahad and the others will be giving me the stink-eye again. I couldn''t have predicted this with Cal and Reno, and I''d like to claim it wasn''t my fault, but it''s a little harder to make excuses this time. ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ More... Title [Sword of Asha] [Trees Guarding] The Reason of Verus Skills Title seal of technique and law. Skill Return] [Double Return] -> [Skill Double Return Descending] <<<><<><> ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ 166 - - Dining at the General Store In the real world, when I''m stressed out or feeling a little anxious, I usually go out for a nice meal or go to bed. In the other world (this one), I am more of a cook, making delicious food that tastes just the way I like it, and serving it up in a way that looks delicious. In the real world, I don''t like to cook elaborate dishes because of the tedious clean-up work, but in this world, there is almost no clean-up work, so it''s easy. You know what stresses me out?¡¡As we are shelving the disclosure of skills to Lapis and Noel, Cal is in a good mood, which is very disconcerting. I feel like I''m on a countdown for skill disclosure. And there is a glitch in the [Title Sealing of Skill and Law]. If you seal the title of "Tipping Point", you can''t get E! I can take a break and log out, but if I sleep in the real world and go to work late, I have the feeling that I''m a temple. If you are awake (logged in), you can eat and get E! I can recover E! During the battle, the limit is probably two. One of them is fixed to [Tilt], and you can only choose one. The number of titles can be increased if they are not powerful titles such as those given by the gods, but they do not have much meaning, and even if they are not sealed, they are not suspected. That is why I am cooking. Wild grape juice, quite thick, served in a small well-chilled cup. Matsumaezuke pickles with herring roe, kelp rolls, cooked abalone, tofu, and terrine of speckled duck are arranged in small portions on a single plate as an appetizer. Momiji-dai (red sea bream), kombu-majime (kombu-jime), freshly caught is delicious, but sea bream should be aged for a while to make it sticky and sweet. Fish is also a protein, and just like meat, some fish tastes better when it is aged. Clear cut squid cut into thin slices, transparent but with a little bit of white in it, well, you can''t even see it in the sea. Sashimi of Narwhal tuna, red in the white. White daikon radish with red and green seaweed. I''d rather have red water pepper, or shiso if the season is different, than seaweed. I would also like to have yellow edible chrysanthemums, which are so bright in this season. And then I remember that I have only western horseradish, I must go to Fuso as soon as possible! Vinegared seaweed with hagane kora crab. Fluffy shrimp in the shell, grilled green sweetfish with salt, steamed egg custard made with egg of Tama and Mee - the chicken and shrimp must be seasoned first so that they do not become watery. --, grilled beef (bulup) with green soybean paste, rice. Miso soup with giant clams that shrink from the size of a soccer ball to a familiar size and plump when heated. Sashimi for Reno, who is not fond of living things, is steamed crustacean shrimp with garlic and soy sauce. Noel and Liddell''s dishes are generally served in modest portions, and Lapidus, to his horror, is fine with the same amount as Galahad. Where is it all going to go? Tempura of wild vegetables that I had accumulated in early spring for those who may not have enough. Less rice!¡¡I don''t even think about it!¡¡Ryokan dinner style. "Chawanmushi?¡¡This is so good!" "Tempura, this is delicious, too." "Lord, the ice cream is delicious." "Tarts are good, too." At dinner time, when everyone is present, Haru and Tamamy are completely defeated. I eat the steamed egg custard with the image of Pochi singing a battle cry for victory in my mind. To my chagan-mushi''s chawanmushi is, to my chagrin, excellent. Tempura is also a bittersweet taste of wild vegetables while the crispy batter seems to be the main attraction. I don''t need to mention the sweetness. Even the miso soup, which is mostly water, ...... is completely dominated by the ingredients. Rice is also tasty thanks to the water, but it would have been better with pasta using eggs or bread with lots of milk and butter. I think I would be very excited if I had five layers of pancakes with butter and honey and milk ice cream on the side. Not only the usual duo, but all of them. ......,No, wait, Lapis, Noel, Camilla, but I''m afraid of the picture of other guys including myself looking ecstatic in front of the pancakes. I''m happy with Japanese food (this), I made the right choice. Even now it''s still dodgy enough, look at my face when you see other people''s faces! Lapidus is eating happily with his face expressionless but his ears twitching so much that I think I can see flowers flying in the background. Liddell sees Lapidus'' expression and smiles as he puts the same food in his mouth as Lapidus. Noel is ......, Noel seems to be concerned about the state of the no-good adult. Please don''t look at the adult who is in ecstasy with tears in her eyes. I''m also a bad adult who wants to touch his surprised and flustered tail, now is my chance?¡¡No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. ...... rice, I think it would be better to make a paddy field in my garden with the seed rice I currently have, rather than going to Huso, so that I can produce high grade rice with the effect of Phal''s water. Let''s change the water and make sake and soy sauce again. In any case, I am going to Fuso to look for wasabi (Japanese horseradish) and other Japanese ingredients. We can get wasabi seeds or grow wasabi plants, but if we grow a lot of wasabi for the time being, it will be affected by the water in Phal. Oh, I have to get a fireplace in the kitchen to make a fire for the fire of Asha. The present facilities are almost the same as those in the real world. It''s tasteless but convenient, but it''s not an environment where we can use <>. --I''m thinking of having a retro look for the house, to match the furnishings. Speaking of choices, after Galahad and the others join us, it is Camilla who has been selecting and arranging meals from the shelves for a while. At one point she served different dishes for adults and children. Specifically, an omelette with an eye-catching contrast of red ketchup, a spaghetti Neapolitan with orange color, a hamburger steak with a fried egg on it, fried prawns with tartar, and where should the flag stand?¡¡The so-called "children''s lunch" was placed in front of Lapidus and Noel. As I recall, the menu served in front of us consisted of roast beef, cold pumpkin potage, and other such dishes. "Lapidus seems to be okay with it, but I think it''s a bit too much for him. ...... Camilla looks at Noel while worrying about the quantity. Noel looks at her with a troubled look on his face as he sees the children''s lunch. Noel doesn''t like the obvious taste of children''s lunch, as he feels that it is too strong and monotonous. And one of them is looking at the children''s lunch with eyes like an abandoned puppy. There are two of them to be exact, but all I know is that the other one is looking at me. I hope the adults can negotiate on their own, let alone Noel. He lifts the children''s lunch in front of Noel, who is puzzled, and replaces it with Cal''s. The reason it''s so large is because it was originally made for adults (????). "Oh, no?" Seeing me exchanging Noel and Cal''s meals, Reno also seemed to appeal to Lapidus with his eyes, and in front of a puzzled Camilla, the two of them also exchanged. Lapidus seems to like meat, but he eats everything with relish. "Well then, let''s eat. """"Itadakimasu! """" The four voices harmonize, and each of them eats deliciously. Camilla, Galahad and Eagle are frozen. "Geez, you always eat your dinner with such elegance! "Lancelot, sir?" Wait, was that a kid''s lunch for two? You see, Reno seems to be shocked by Cal''s taste, though. Cal is looking at me with his elegance intact, and he is very happy to be eating his omelette. Reno also seems to like hamburgers, although he is not so good with meat, and he too looks happy. I might have heard the sound of the statue of the three strongest knights (Lancelot) being shattered at that moment. I drink the tea that Cal has brewed for me. I wish I had better tea leaves. "Lord, I have something to report. I was caught off guard, remembering what happened before, and here you are. "Nandezka?" "Let''s put aside for the moment why I''m speaking only one language, but we have successfully returned the items to the temple today." A handsome man with a fresh face. It''s refreshing in a conversational sense, except for me. "As for the avenger, I''m thinking of changing my appearance so as not to cause trouble for the Lord. In this case, there is a possibility that Galahad and his friends (these) will trace us, so we will work together if we can get their agreement. We have already prepared the means to do so. I am very curious about the means. It reminds me of a dream I had very recently. I''m breaking out in a cold sweat just listening to it, and Galahad looks at me like I''ve just been named out of the blue. "Well, I guess we''re not going to be treated very well by the empire either." "Well, I don''t want to cause trouble, and I don''t want to fight my own people." I don''t give a shit about how I look. Stop!¡¡Don''t lean towards agreeing with me!¡¡My dream flag is dangerous, dangerous! So all three of you agree, then? Cal, who urges the three to reply clearly with a fresh smile. A statement, a statement? "Yeah, so ......" "Stop!¡¡Keep it up!¡¡I like the way you look. If the avenger is a knight, he won''t do anything unkind to Lapidus and Noel, so stay where you are. If you think it''s dangerous, teach Lapidus and Noel how to get out of the fray." Galahad interrupts his attempt to reach an agreement and says in a single breath, "I''m sorry, but I can''t. I''m sorry. "I''ll teach you how to escape. I''ll teach you how to escape, but I think it''s best to keep the chances low. Galahad says, looking amused. "When someone of the same s*x tells me they like the way I look, I''m not sure I should be happy about it. "I''m flattered." No, Camilla can be neat and tidy with her makeup off, I''m fine with that. I''d rather have her without makeup. "I thought it would be a good idea." Cal says ruefully. "No more, I''ve been having trouble dreaming. ......" "Dreams?¡¡What kind of dreams?" "Specifically, Galahad and Eagle became women." And Cal. To escape the attackers, the three men became women, Camilla in a white one-piece dress with no clothes on and her clothes covering her skin. Cal was the ringleader in that dream, too. "Boom!" "Homura-kun?¡¡Would you please stop imagining weird things?" Galahad erupts and Eagle says with a smile that carries a dark cloud on his face. "Sorry, I don''t know why I had that dream either. ......" "I thought it was a good way to go." Cal repeats the same thing with a sincere regret. The three of them froze with the same expressions they had been talking to me about. The three of them looked at Cal with an almost audible giggle. "Geez?" "Master Lancelot?" "No way. ......" "I thought it would be more enjoyable (????) if you were by my side." "You''re scaring me, you know that? Galahad exclaims to Kal, who says sincerity. "Mr. Lancelot, ......." Eagle rubs his own brow, Camilla silently withdraws her hand. It was close, really close. 167 - - The Oath As a result of refusing to take action to defeat the Cal is going to dress up. ...... will be dressed up and offered a sword (vomiting blood). The room in the general store is not so big, and the living room on the third floor of the liquor store is still too small with sofas and other furniture, so we decided to do it in the [garden]. I said that I was fine with the way it was. My insistence that there was no need to be so formal, and my request for a friendship rather than a master-slave relationship were neatly ignored. Galahad and the other three seemed to have a strong admiration for the strongest knight (Lancelot) and were excited about Cal dressing up in formal attire. Reno is a knight who needs someone to serve!¡¡A kind of race. They seem to be quietly observing the whole process with great interest. Why did they live like hermits when they were so willing to take in knowledge?¡¡Is the strength of attributes something that a dragonut should gain even if it has to give up everything else? I was kicked out and told to stand still in the garden. That''s terrible. I remember that the Ten Commandments of the knight are <><><>>>>. I wonder if it is possible because most of the commandments and policy slogans are not followed, but in the game world (fantasy), it is not a front, but a serious one. ...... I, of all the Ten Commandments, the one that has sunk deepest into my heart is the one for dogs. I don''t have a dog now. I don''t know why I am supposed to devote my sword to such a person who has no particular beliefs and only immediate goals. Someone explain it to me. Can a mere grocer have the best knight in the world? It''s nighttime in the garden. Haru and Pochi are probably already sleeping somewhere, and there is no sign of them. So far it hasn''t rained in the garden, and the climate is constant, so it doesn''t matter where they sleep, but later we''ll build a hut where they can come and go as they please. It would be good to plant some more trees. Walking through the garden toward the banquet hall of the gods of the . The middle of an empty meadow would be fine, but seeing the excitement of Galahad and the others makes me think of a suitable place, even though I am still in a state of confusion. Although we have been told that we can use the place freely, I feel a bit nervous about using that place built by Ruscha. At least after the banquet, which was the original purpose of the party, but I feel it would be bad to use it for a different purpose first. --Let me use it for background. <> and float them near the > and the banquet hall of the gods. < glistens as the light bounces off it, and the exquisite buildings built by Ruscha appear in silhouette. It is quite fantastic, isn''t it?¡¡If I had to say something, I would say that the <> is too bright and I would like to adjust the illumination level. Is there a lumen number indicator? While I''m waiting for Cal and the others to arrive, I''m experimenting to see if I can modify the <, because if I don''t do something while I''m waiting for them to arrive, I''ll think of something else, such as running away. As a result, it turns out that the size and illumination can be adjusted freely. However, the shape seems to be fixed to a spherical shape, maybe there is some method or compatibility, but I cannot change the shape at the moment. The colors are gold, red, yellow, orange and white, silver, blue-silver, dimming down to finally dimming. That''s it, the same color as the moon in this world. I give up on the fact that I can''t produce green, and unify the colors to white moonlight color because the colors are too noisy. It would be too dazzlingly bright to be tactful for this night scene. The tree of life, which has grown so large, is illuminated high up, as if to highlight the exquisite buildings built by Rusha, and some of them are placed so that Galahad and his friends can see Kalu clearly. Floating spheres of various sizes are like blowing a shabbon, and one gets carried away. If it is not an offensive magic, M! If it is not an offensive magic, it can be used as long as M! However, the spheres disappear after a certain period of time, so you have to seriously challenge yourself by using [Charge] to see how long you can keep them afloat. When I realized that I had escaped from Galahad and the others as fast as I could, Cal was walking toward me. Geez!¡¡I thought I was going to stand there in some style, but it turned out to be a fool''s errand. I let go of the small ball of light in my palm and slowly turn around to face Cal, pretending that nothing is wrong. It is dark in the direction Galahad and the others are, and even with [night vision], the shadows are so dark in contrast to the light on this side of the room that I cannot make out their expressions, but they are all looking at me. I can''t make out their expressions, but they are all looking at me. Look at Cal, not at me. I''ve been a little busy. It''s like a Thai lantern festival over my head, but I don''t care! Cal is walking toward us, dressed in white, blue, and gold. His white armor is decorated with gold patterns, and his cloth is trimmed in blue with a gold pattern near the hem. The large sword at his waist is also made of the same three colors. While we were walking, Kalu kneels in front of me, his cloak flowing loosely behind him with the wind in his face. He may not be as young as Galahad, but he is handsome and looks good. Hey! I wonder if I shouldn''t use "awe" to counter. I''m pretty sure the one kneeling is of higher status or something. Let''s just be glad I''m not wearing some kind of costume or something that would have ruined it. No, I''m smiling as I''m thinking of something dangerous, like releasing the [leaning country] and making it go away. "Let me be the Lord''s sword to ward off sorrow, let me be the Lord''s shield to keep away dirt, and let me dedicate myself to the Lord for the rest of my life." Cal utters what sounds like an oath with his head hanging down. Is this the scene where the recipient (me) replies with something like, "You must observe the truth"?¡¡No, it''s the ceremony of wearing the sword when you become a knight, when you kiss the sword with a kiss of peace and hand it over to the lord or something!¡¡Oh man, I should have listened to you! "I forgive you." It''s all right if you didn''t think of it, we''ll let you go. Cal looks up and smiles as he replies. "Lord, could you kiss my forehead?" Ah--...... yes, that concludes the ritual. I think of all the male knights I''ve ever met with their foreheads full of hair, and I bend down to touch Cal''s forehead to finish. You have acquired <. The title [Lord of Lancelot] has been acquired. Why the item wind! The title is Lancelot, the right to call anywhere and forcefully & not ...... to come to the rescue in a pinch, he says. I''m not sure if it''s a good idea or not, but I''m sure it''s a good idea. The less H! "Lord, Lapidus swears too!" Me too. I looked in the direction Lapidus and Noel were and saw Liddell holding hands with Camilla, smiling and tilting his head. The two in question were already at my feet. They were early. "They''re both rather protective of each other." I pick him up as he tries to kneel in imitation of Cal. Hey ......, stop double sniffing behind my ears!¡¡The effect of the "leaning" is still there, but the skinship is a little too much. I mean, the effect of the "inclination" will disappear, right?¡¡What if it doesn''t? "As I recall, you can only officially offer your sword to a knight or an adventurer of rank S or higher, right?" "...... if it''s a sword." Galahad replied to Reno''s confirming question as if he was disappointed for some reason. "If you don''t change your mind when you grow up, I''ll ask you to dedicate it to me. Learn a lot of things and grow up slowly. Otherwise, you will be sent to an apprenticeship like Reno when you grow up. "Oh, that''s terrible. I care about you!" Conversation with Reno, pretending not to notice the slightly disgruntled Lapidus and Noel. Grown-ups are sneaky! "I''m fun to hang out with, though." I''m having fun too. I''m comfortable here by accident. "That''s great, thank you?" Oops, just when I thought I was going to get a light-hearted response as an extension of my teasing, he responds with a sincere answer. I am sometimes a little surprised at how honest or straight-forward Reno is in a weird way. "Well, even if you don''t offer your sword, you''re still a follower, right?¡¡Why don''t you just ask Homra to let you and the old man choose your skills?" "I can''t wait to see what Homura has added to his skill set." "Oh, didn''t you say you didn''t have that many skills?" Lapidus and Noel turned their sparkling eyes on me. You Galahad, you''re talking out of your ass £¡£¡£¡£¡ Well, if you find someone you really want to serve or be with, you can switch." My status will be lowered if I break the contract, but there is no penalty to the one I chose, as I recall. Besides, it would be years before Lapidus and Noel would find someone. No, suddenly their parents, who were supposed to be dead, are alive!¡¡Or maybe they''ll leave. At that time, we will accept the decline with open arms. ...... ugh, but I''m still not comfortable with the status disclosure. "When did you build this building anyway?" "Delicate. The relief and openwork are superb. I wonder whose work it is.¡¡I''d like to take a closer look at it in a well-lit place." "Is it practical?¡¡I don''t want to damage it. It''s a style you don''t see very often." "The silhouette of this building with your and the is fantastic." "I didn''t think you could create such an environment for us." "It''s really beautiful, isn''t it?" The adults sigh and gawk at the scenery. I''m still being sniffed by Lapidus and Noel. "That''s the banquet hall Ruscha built." "Boom!" Galahad, who was about to touch the pillar, jumps back. "Hey, why are there things like that in [the box garden]!" "<>. I should be convinced that it''s wonderful and wonder why it''s here ......." Camilla crowded me and Reno looked at the building again as if he were impressed. "Why, the banquet hall ......, no, you don''t have to answer." Eagle rubs his temples. "I had to build it, you know. I was surprised myself, but I got a housewarming gift." "...... Lord, I don''t think that''s the problem." Let''s go back to my place, I''m not calm! "I was so excited by Master Lancelot''s formal attire and the scenery that I was taken aback by his oath of office." "Well, I''ve calmed down enough to think that it can''t be helped, and then I got this last punch! Galahad and Eagle are talking. No, wait, what''s wrong with the tone?¡¡After all, "I forgive you" was not good enough?¡¡I am not a knight, so if you have manners, tell me in advance!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! "Oh, I''m going to check on Mistiff and then I''ll be on my way, so please disclose your status in the meantime." "Hmm?¡¡Galahad and the others are ready to see it, and so is Reno, even if he doesn''t choose to. I''ve given up." "Thank you, but it''s my decision. Leno is as serious as ever. In games, "status open" usually means "open status window", right? At least, it does not mean to open your status to the public. "No, no, no?" "Sure, skills haven''t increased that much except for production-related skills, but ......" "Homura?" "What''s going on with your title? Your title is funny! There are too many! The screams going up on the third floor of the liquor store . It seems you can''t go to sleep (log out) yet. ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ Increase... Title. [Lancelot''s Lord] ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ 168 - - 166. Status Disclosure? The person to whom you dedicate yourself has chosen a skill. By giving permission to use the skill, the person to whom you dedicate himself will be able to use two of your skills, and your status value will be increased by 5% for each skill user. However, if you are bereaved while the skill users are in your party, your status value will be reduced by 10% for each of them. Do you want me to allow you to use the skill? "That was fast!" ?¡¡What the hell?" Galahad and the others, who were looking at my status, look at me in surprise. "No, Cal already chose the skill. Are you sure ...... is a good idea?" The first half is a question to Galahad, the second half to Cal. The first half of the question is to Galahad, and the second half is to Cal. I thought we only had one skill to choose from. "Yes, I had already decided (????) before." I hope that''s okay. --I hope it''s okay, but I don''t know if it''s okay. After giving permission to use my skills, I noticed a line that stuck with me. I have acquired the title of "The One Who Rules". Wait. That''s blatantly different from Galahad and the others. "I''m sorry, Lord. After being healed by Lady Ekaterina in the temple, both [title] and [skill] returned as before. ......" "............. Perhaps you could see the status?" "Yes. The title [Rampant Eye] is a powerful title, but I have no control over when it is triggered. When [the title] came back (I saw it), I knew that the Lord wanted to hide the status ......." I pretended not to know. Cal continues. If you can see my status with the Eye, then you must really be powerful. As soon as I got the Eye of Verus, Ekaterina couldn''t see my status. "Geez, you have such a [title]?" "It might be because of your [eye] that you were thrown out in the first place, not only because you could compete with him (...)." "I wonder if it has a [title] or [condition] that is bad to see?" "Maybe." Galahad and the others argue. They didn''t know he had it. But, did Cal already know about the "Bosatsujutsu" and the "King of Pleasure" a long time ago? Ugh, I can''t stand it! "By the way, we have a problem. Yes? "It seems that the title has been enhanced by the blessing of the Dark Goddess." "Hm?" "[Sealed] things are usually only seen as [sealed]." "Hm?" "Yeah, there''s something in Homura''s status." The fact that it can only be seen as a seal is a great thing, but it is also a disturbing sign. "Instead of being able to see it, you suffer the full effects of it at a cost." ....... "That would be bad. £¡£¡£¡£¡" "<>, isn''t it?" "Why don''t you think it''s bad!" "I''m not aware of anything unusual. ......" Despite my panic and confusion, the person in question looked quite cool. The three children are looking at me with a blank stare. Well, Liddell''s expression has not changed from his smiling face. "Homura?¡¡What''s the title under seal?" "What''s so bad about it?" "Is it worse than [King of Pleasure] or [Bosuchujutsu]?" Oh, how many times have I enjoyed Camilla''s breasts? No, no, Camilla and Eagle had me bound from both sides. And Galahad asks with a smile. Yes, the King of Pleasure has already been found. But we''re too busy worrying about the problems we''re running into. "It''s the Tipping Point. ......<> will it work?" "......" "............" "...... Homura?" "I''m innocent, okay?" I''ll make my point for now. When I checked the description of the "Tipping Point," I found that the list had increased and Lancelot was listed as the acquirer, and Lapidus and Noel were listed as being in the process of acquiring the property. I don''t remember starting the attack!¡¡And that item-acquisition-style announcement could be about this, maybe! "I just read the description of the list of those who have been misled by [the inclination], and there is a note that says ''the corrupted will seek to increase the number of those in the same situation'' and so on." This must be a serious problem. "What do you want to do for Homura, old man?" Galahad asks with a pained look on his face. "The harem was rejected by the Lord, so we are considering whether to take control of the temple or the assassin''s guild first. Cal replies as if it were nothing. "Why would you do that? "What?" "This is ridiculous!" "Homura, why of all people, Master Lancelot? A good knight is bold to think. What am I supposed to do? "Oh--......,Cal, I don''t particularly need a harem or servants, do I?" "Yes, I only create an environment that does not interfere with His actions." Galahad and the others told me to do something about it, and I insisted, but they gave me a fresh smile. "Hey, Homura! I''m pretty sure they haven''t given up on us." "How do you break the [leaning] effect?" "Can''t we just use <>?¡¡If it is a powerful curse, the theory is that if it cannot be broken by , you should have a ritual performed in the temple." "No, even if you break it, if the [Eye of Violence] is activated again, it will be applied, won''t it?" We whisper in a circle. "How did you [seal] Homura''s [title]?¡¡Why don''t we just seal up the old man''s [eye of violence] too?" "My [title seal of skill and law] was given to me by Rusha and Tasha." "That''s absurd." Eagle is immediately excluded. "No one can pass such a condition! "If you''re always by Homura''s side, you stand a better chance, don''t you?" Don''t be absurd! I''m afraid that I might be in danger if I''m around him. "......,Oh, by the way, does [inclination] affect people of the same s*x too?" Is it indiscriminate since Lapidus and Noel are also affected? "Usually it''s the opposite s*x, I think." "Generally speaking, those who are called [inclined] are usually those who have a lot of [fascination] skills, or those who use them to build harems." "I believe the only confirmed title for [leaning] is [leaning] held by one of the beasts of the seal." "So we don''t really know what the range is." "Well, I think it''s the opposite s*x, since it is written that ''those who say they are male were bewitched by the nine-tailed kuzunoha, from old men to babies''." "Homura is favored by several deities, so we can''t rule out that being a factor." Yeah, the pleasure seekers and the unfortunate goddesses seem to have a great deal of influence. And those two are the ones who gave it to me. "Okay, Homura, give it up and make a harem." "Boom!¡¡Why are you talking like that!" "Oh, yeah. Since the harem was rejected, they''re trying to make up for it in other ways. "Between harems and city rule, the former is more peaceful, no matter how you look at it." I''ve got an idea!¡¡Galahad looks like he''s good at what he does, and the two of them look convinced. "In that case, I think it''s Galahad and the others who will be invited by Cal, isn''t it?" I tell him with a smile that isn''t quite a smile. "Boom!¡¡Why us!" "Camilla, but me and Galahad are ......,ah, s*x change ......." Eagle looks like he''s just had a nasty thought. It''s a "wow" look. "I don''t know where the old bastard got that." "I think it''s in the arena, isn''t it?¡¡I heard from someone that Master Lancelot has a record of winning three consecutive championships in the past." "Let''s not have a harem because we won''t be at peace." "Oh, I can join Homura''s harem, if you want." "What?" Oh no, I reacted to the fact that he was just teasing me again. I guess "after [losing combat], the normal revival period is extended to three days" is not attractive for adventurers. ...... Homura is fine." What do you want?¡¡Camilla. Elaborate on that part!¡¡I wonder if it is tactless to think that. "Have you reached an agreement on what you want to discuss?" "What? I was so surprised when Cal approached me. "Not yet!" Galahad, who seemed to be equally surprised, responded briskly. "But is that thing in that state after being affected by the [leaning country]?¡¡It looks normal to me." "When did you stay in [leaning country]?" "I was only recently given the title." "......I can''t tell you what has changed since we met again, Master Lancelot." "He once told me that the king has been replaced and the way the old man serves him has become a formality. ......" "At least it seems to have been true about that." Mr. Eagle, you''re getting a little too red between the eyes and temples, aren''t you? "We can either have peace in the city, or we can turn a blind eye and have peace in our hearts." "What, I only have two choices? "If there is any other way to stop Master Lancelot, please let me know." "I don''t think Lancelot-sama would be selfish if he seized the city, and I don''t think it would be a terrible thing, but ......" Is it definite that the seizure will be successful? It''s funny, I was prepared to get into a lot of trouble with the status, but now I''m having a big or small mysterious problem. What am I going to do now? Can I log out soon anyway? ...... ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ...more... Title [He who controls] ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ 169 - - The Voice "By the way, I borrowed the skills of [Seal of Title of Technique and Law] and [Alchemy Magic]. The effect of [Seal of Title of Law] has decreased, but there seems to be no problem in sealing [Eye of Violence]. I will take Lapis and Noel to the temple tomorrow to lift it. Hmm? "Could it be that it doesn''t work?" I fearfully check. And that, Cal, is it not only Fal but also Tasya''s blessing? "No, I''m either unknowingly deceived, or I''m sane because I''m high in spirit because of [Fal''s favor]. ....... I can''t decide for myself. But if you are on the Lord''s list, it must be the former. It''s a pretty scary state of affairs." You can''t even tell by yourself? Mental manipulators are a pain in the ass. "Besides, I was aware that I had ''seen'' the Lord''s title, otherwise I would not have been aware of it. The ...... empire may be in serious trouble. "Hmm? "When I was affected by the [inclination], I asked Mr. Reno if he knew anything about the [inclination]. It is well known that the main body is sealed in the country of Fusou, but at the time of the sealing, one of its members escaped from the country. Considering the situation of the empire, I think that this may be the reason why the seal of the <> was loosened. Was the "body and soul" the Monkey King''s hairy alter ego? Would it be fluffy, or would it be more fluffy? "That''s a very nasty thing to do..." "Homura, what else should I know about the effects of [inclination]?" The corrupted person tries to increase the number of people in the same situation," "As time goes by, it tries to monopolize the opposite," "However, it varies depending on the intelligence of the subject," and "Often, the control of the [inclination] may also be lost. In addition, it is said that the abnormality indicator will not be displayed until it becomes strange to the naked eye. Overall evaluation, it seems to be troublesome. "...... I should have waited, I should have taken care of it before serving you. I am sorry." "No, I don''t think things are going to change that much." If it is a boss, players are supposed to defeat him at least once, even if it is a hassle. If the boss is defeated only by the residents, I don''t know what to do. Even if they can''t help themselves from the standpoint of ability, they will get all the reward items for the seasonal events! "In the meantime, Cal, you go to the temple tomorrow. It''s too scary that he would rather try to bring the Temple and the Assassins'' Guild closer together when he used to keep Reno in check." "......I remember being careful not to divulge any information about the Lord to him, even though he was a likable character, and I don''t know who he was. You fool,......, I don''t even screen and try to get an unspecified person involved that the Lord doesn''t want!" Cal presses his forehead lightly, and in the latter half of the session, his voice becomes a little lower and he looks aghast. Is he really in trouble?¡¡I noticed the abnormality of Lapidus and Noel right away, but it seems to be difficult for adults who do not take direct action to identify it. By the way, Lapidus and Noel are sitting with me from both sides. "Wow, I''m going to the temple tomorrow. Galahad says with a sigh. "Hmm?¡¡Galahad and the others didn''t come up on the list, did they?¡¡I don''t even remember activating it." "No, I might have encountered them in the Empire, not in Homura. I''m not sure I''d be in trouble if I was old and in this condition. "I think we should throw the other knights into the temple as soon as we find them. "We''ll negotiate that tomorrow, too. Besides, let''s see if there are any other measures besides the ritual. "Oh, and take some supplies to the orphanage from the warehouse. I have a lot of ingredients and dishes for the soup kitchen that I made before and didn''t use any of Haru-san''s ingredients." Sorry about the leftovers, but I think it''ll be pretty spectacular. "Okay." That''s what happened. "Lord, I want Lapis to have the same [mind''s eye] as Lord." I''ll take [attack recovery, magic]. They were waiting for the conversation to be over, and when it was over, Lapidus and Noel chose their skills. "Here you go. Noel, are you going to be a mage?" "Yes. I want to help in the store and make medicines, but I also want to follow the Lord and Lapidus. "You can do whatever you want, but it''s important to play too." "Oh!¡¡Play is the philosophy of life, man!" Galahad winks at Lapidus and Noel. He is an example of a man who has grown up in a carefree environment. When I give them permission to use their skills, their names appear on the list of "bonded men. What''s the difference between Cal and me?¡¡I have an idea, but it''s a mystery. "I want to give [King of Pleasure] a good whack, but I''m too scared of the old man now!" Galahad kneels and hits his fist on the carpet, overacting in vain. "Touching that is going to rehash the subject." "Oh, I''m not withdrawing my candidacy." A nice offer even for the purpose of title effect (dasan). I don''t plan to use [King of Pleasure] as well as [Bosatsujutsu]. At any rate, thanks to Kal, it seems that I won''t be tangled up in that area. Since I had a scary experience too, I guess I can be forgiven for this privilege. "The titles are amazing. "The increase is incredible!" "That''s not a normal increase in skills, even if you take production out of the equation.¡¡I had to go through it for a moment because there were so many more production types." "[The one who is not bewildered], [the red illusionist], [the talent of skill], [the heir of the phoenix], [the king of the labyrinth], [the one who lives in the illusion], [the one who has the white realm], there are some I can''t imagine, but there are many I can''t imagine the effects even after hearing them. It''s hard work just to read all the explanations. "M!? A lot of recovery stuff, huh?¡¡E!? If we had a full lineup of recovery systems, we could go on fighting forever and ever." "[Nine Lives], [Resurrection], and H! and durability are not so high, but the guard is very strong." "A little bit, compared to the shield or other homura stats, that is. He''s a magic swordsman, remember?" "How did you manage to develop all these skills in such a short time? I''m more surprised. "[Illusion magic], if you look it up, that''s what they used to have in the old, powerful empire [who made the strongest armies] or something like that. ......" "There are a lot of environmental types. I feel more comfortable in the dungeon with Homra next to me." They say whatever they want, but it''s peaceful. Cal has just brewed us another cup of tea when Reno returns. The Mystiffs like the island without people, and they feel at ease there. We rarely see them, but we should plant some more sturdy trees anyway. The demon repopulation is not going well, but we can make some improvements to the landscape. It would be a good place to hide. Since we are all here, I offer a black jewelberry tart. I can''t wait to get my hands on some fruit that will be as good as the base dough and cream. I have to eat it. Oh no! I''m so tired that I log out, finish my dinner and bath, and get ready to meet up with the ochazuke. E! I''m going to eat something filling until I''m full and get ready for bed. This will surely make you fat in the real world. The place to sleep is in the garden, change the setting of the garden to temporarily locked for only you, and you should be out of danger now. Not so much my danger as theirs. Oh well, I''ll plant more trees here later and we can play survival. Tarp tents, lean-to''s, slow roasted meats over an open fire. A hammock might be nice too, though it is more of a resort than a survival. With these thoughts in mind, I fall asleep on the futon of my usual hiding place. Before I could sink in, I heard voices. It was a small voice, so muffled that I could not distinguish between male and female voices, nor distinguish their ages. If I am not careful, it may sound like a sound rather than a voice. > I listen back to the voice. Is it a dream, or is it real? Well, maybe it''s an event. <> Thinner chest?¡¡No, self-pun intended. The voice, which had been distant to begin with, became more distant, and its broken delivery soon became inaudible. I wake up in the real world. What was it?¡¡I sit on the bed for a bit and think. In my game brain, I think it is the voice of an evil god, or someone who is sealed up with the evil god to seal him up. 170 - - 168. Gathering The title [? I have obtained the [Blessing of has been acquired. I''m sorry to inform you, for the first time ever. The company has been in contact with the [? The blessing of This information will be kept confidential. You have obtained the title [Transcendent of Heaven and Earth]. When I logged in, an announcement was made. What''s going on? What is the "blessing of the Blessing of the Well, in order, is it an evil god, or a ninth god who is hidden like the god of light and the god of darkness?¡¡Or the sun god, since there is no sun god here. Normally, the god of light would be the sun god as well, but Verus sees references to "stars," but I have never seen the sun mentioned in the literature, either in the library of the Isle or in used bookstores. But there are few references to those two pillars, and I wonder if they also preside over the sun, just because I can''t find it.¡¡I thought it was the golden moon one, since it is a brother and sister to Verna, but this time [? I wonder if Mr. Kosaka might be one of the two moons. I wonder if this will become clearer as the story progresses. No, why did I hear that voice in the first place? What is the trigger that triggered the event? Still, I''m glad I slept in the [garden]!¡¡I thought that the skill would be released when I went to the temple, but before that, the skill stopped when I reached E! I was thinking that I would be able to get to the temple and my skills would be unlocked, but before that, my skills would stop when I hit E! I eat my meal while thinking in a rambling manner. M! is a little less, but E!.0 is very lazy. Avocado and salmon tartar on a thin slice of bucket with a delicious dip of cream cheese and codfish. Mayonnaise on a vegetable stick does justice now, since it is made of eggs, vinegar and oil. Since I''m alone, I don''t set up a table, so I just grab a tray on my lap and finish my meal with my hands. When I''m comfortable, I check what I''ve received. What? Neither the appraisal nor the "Eye of Verus" was able to read the "Blessing of Verus". Well, I think that [Verus'' Eye] is strong against the intention to cheat or deceive, but not so good in other cases. It may be because of my impression of him (Verus), but I have a feeling that he is a bit naive. I might be able to see Kal''s [Violent Eye], but I''m not going to ask him to do it. I think it would be a challenger to ask him. ...... It seems that [Boundary Crosser] can enter through boundaries and borders. The position of the [unbounded boundary] is ....... No, is there something that can be released by solving it, like white? is a cloak. It is a monochromatic brown color with a woven pattern, and the pattern glows faintly from different angles. The effect of this cloak is also a mystery, or rather, it says "seems to be unmotivated at the moment" when I "appraise" it, but I wonder what it is. Oh, it turned white when I touched it. Does the color change according to the status of the person who touched it, or does the color change according to the coordination?¡¡--The color seems to change with coordination. I changed into a white and green outfit for the party play, which turned out to be a moss green cloak with gold clasps. I put it on. "Nuh!" G. No, it''s not gravity, it''s ....... My status is neatly halved!¡¡Even the titles are marked half, and the only thing that is safe is the skill. Curse!¡¡Cursed item!¡¡I rush to [Appraise] again, and the result is [Appealing for presence for now]. That''s a disgusting way of appealing!¡¡And I can''t take it off. A sparrow with its clothes on!¡¡I''ll take pajamas and nudity into consideration, it seems.¡¡When I changed my equipment to night clothes, I could take it off, but when I put it back on, it came back on. It automatically put on. Is that it?¡¡Am I stronger in pajama gear now?¡¡For a moment, I imagined myself in pajama-like pajama top and bottom and a nightcap with a bonbon, dashing around, unleashing magic. I change into my sacred equipment in a hurry, but this time I feel much lighter. I''m going to do it!¡¡Sounds like the mood of ......] Ah, yes, the status jump. ....... The title seems to be normal, but the status is more than tripled. I found that out after taking off and putting on repeatedly. The status returns to normal after equipping three sacred weapons, which are named after gods, and the status jumps up from the fourth one. <<, thank you . And <> is the strongest equipment at the moment. Well, I can''t handle a great sword well, so I''m only talking about the numbers. I usually wear <>. The <<> are apparently women''s shoes, and although I can equip them, I can''t wear them. I don''t know the name of them, so I looked them up. They look like the kind of barefoot sandals that brides wear at beach weddings. They would look good on a woman with thin ankles. I didn''t even know they existed until I looked them up. I heard that in this world, sword dancers and dancers wear them when they dedicate their dances to the temple. Either way, they have become a part of women''s things, a fertilizer for storage. By the way, when I repeatedly changed my clothes, the effect was not particularly affected, but the result became [I seem to be getting tired of it]. By the way, when I stripped naked, the cloak was still there. Pants and cape......!¡¡It seems that the nudity that ...... will take into account is total nudity. It was clearly written "nude", but my bad, I thought it would be a little okay. It''s about time for the clan members to log in (or come up), so let''s move on. Kikuhime and Ochazuke are already here, so they should be at the clan house soon. We change into our normal gear and move to the next location. My status is lowered thanks to the cloak, but I feel that wearing <> will probably be good enough for a party, so I''m satisfied with the result. I didn''t think that I would have to put on Phal''s underwear in preference to the other gods'' equipment. I guess I can consider it as a positive thing that I can adjust the strength now. It seems to me that the range is too wide. When I moved to the clan house on the island named after Leo, I found Kikuhime with a soft futon in her arms. "Good evening. What''s up with that? Good evening, sir. I plucked some nice feathers, so I made this!¡¡I''ll give you one." It seems that he was in the process of putting the futon he had made into his personal slot in the clan''s shared warehouse. The shared warehouse is a little bit special: shared slots can be freely put in and out, while individual slots can be freely put in, but only the corresponding individual can take them out. The shared warehouse currently has 500 slots, while the default number of individual slots is 50, and Ochazuke is adding more slots as soon as possible. Thank you." Since I''ve already put mine in my private warehouse, I go to the chest of drawers in the warehouse and take out a feather quilt. It is soft and fluffy. Since it''s bad to leave things as they are, I put the <<> that dropped in the labyrinth into Kikuhime''s warehouse as a return gift. Leo also gave me a package of seafood, so I threw in some fried mullet and other things I''d cooked in return. I also put various medicines and <> in the common area. What I do in the clan house is mostly production, so I pack some egg dishes that will improve my dexterity. If you use a little higher rank materials and do a little higher level production, you will get a lot of experience. However, if you fail, the experience you get will be lowered, so try to mass-produce at the very edge of the production line without failure. Failure to do so will lower the selling price, which hurts your wallet. When you mass-produce eggs, you eat them in such a way that you don''t even have time to taste them. I have also included a small amount of Tama Mee''s egg dish, but this is for when you want to make your own equipment that you do not want to fail in any way. In the shared slot, there are some other items that someone else seems to have put in, such as attribute stones, lumber, nuts, skins, and other miscellaneous items. It is quite chaotic. "I wonder if the shared warehouse can be rearranged?" "I wish it would be possible, but I didn''t read the description." "Individuals can do it, but not shared ones, I guess." Ochazuke, who came out from downstairs - a room downstairs counting the floor with the entrance as the first floor, and located on top of a huge tree, so it is much higher than the ground - joins the conversation. "That was inconvenient!" "It''s almost like a bug now. I''m sure it will be fixed in time." "Here, Leo and Shin are packing trash, too." Kikuhime says with a pout. "It''s typical for people with mottainai disease to become poor because they can''t throw things away." "Oh, give me the magic stone of the early enemies." When I looked in again, I found that it was stuffed with low-ranked magic stones of flying rabbits, moles, and the like. "What can you use them for?" "I''m sure you guys will be using a lot of it soon.¡¡HAHAHA!" Ochazuke asks me about it, but I can''t give him a straight answer because the information he withholds is directly related to the mystery. I have checked the box "Keep game knowledge sealed in the real world" when I log in, so I can talk to him as much as I want in the real world. If you don''t check the box, you are treated as a mystery even in the real world. I think that my memories and thoughts are visible when my consciousness is reconstructed in the electronic world. In fact, there are some people who don''t check the box because they feel uncomfortable. Well, it''s a good thing that it is a processing matter and they say they can''t distinguish one from another. The mental damage is "cleared" at the time of logout, so that the mental damage from the in-game incident will not be carried over to the real world. The damage is not from the event itself, but from the memory, but since there is a cushion, there is almost no impact on our lives. It would be easier to understand if we say that it is like watching a movie. "Good evening. "Good evening." "Good evening, sir." "Welcome home, good evening." Peter came over and we talked about the warehouse again. In the meantime, Leo and Shin arrived and we were all together. Ochazuke declares to Leo and Shin that they will throw away the garbage without mercy, and they decide on today''s activities. "I want to go somewhere new!" "The labyrinth?" Ochazuke asks Leo back. "I want to go to Pirate Island!" "Oh, neighbors." I answer Shin''s words. "Yeah, that''s what the real estate agent said when we bought this place." "Everywhere you look, there are dangerous places nearby!" "Wait, guys. How are we going to get there without a boat?" Ochazuke''s words brought me back to reality. Come to think of it, we hadn''t even gotten to the pier yet. In the end, we decided to go to the isle to look for the cavalry. Some of the players are already on board, or so it seems, with the Flame Kings and Roy and the others. They have not gotten all of them yet, and they are still trying to get them, so we may meet them there. I have no objection to going there to get the cavalry. I feel a little guilty about Reno, but I want a cavalryman that I can ride in public! ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ...more... Title [? Blessing of the The Boundary Crosser of Heaven and Earth ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ 171 - - The Riding Beast Again The ¡¾Rescue¡¿ function is not used very often, mainly for full parties, labyrinths and dungeons. If you check the checkbox of "Rush in", you can have a player join in the battle in the field if there is a vacancy in the party, but the player who enters the battle will get only experience and not any items. Unlike [Ran-in], in [Rescue], one party can participate and the right of the item is transferred to [Rescuer]. It is said that there are many occasions when you need to send ¡¾Rescue¡¿, such as when you meet an enemy who is much stronger than you in the field. Well, I always go to the place where there are few people, so I don''t get any rescuers even if I send [rescue]!¡¡Instead, I just set [Random entry allowed], and about one person comes whenever I''m in a pinch, no matter if my party is overcrowded or not. The reason why I''m checking the functions I haven''t used so far is that there are various types of [cavalry], some of them join through dialogue or by giving items, and some of them join after being subdued in a battle. I think that unicorns like one-on-one, virgins only, etc. are too much, but I think that there may be some because they are a common species of cavalry beasts. ......, I''m soloing in the hope that other rare individuals may come to me on the condition that I solo. If there is a cavalry beast that we both like, we will let each other know in the clan conversation, and in case of a battle pattern, we will use [Ran-in] or [Rescue] to catch it. At least two of them stay close to each other for the purpose of [Rush in] and [Rescue]. There are six members of the RYOKI clan, but I noticed that the number of Kronos clan members has increased, and there are a lot of people I don''t know. It''s not so small that we have to keep running into each other, but it seems that the first one to find the [cavalryman] wins. Well, Roy and the others we met on the way said, "I''ll help you if you leave it open for us. "It was kind of painful to see the way they looked at me." "Don''t let a weak clan get in the way!¡¡I received a radio wave that said, "I''m sorry." "You''re just being a little brazen because you know the clan master!¡¡I''ll add that to the list." Peter says, followed by Ochazuke and Shin. "You know, we''re the top clan in the arena!¡¡I felt something like that." "This is a clan that has the winner of that tournament mixed in. ......, I''m not going to tell you because it''s too much trouble." "I can only see trouble in the future, so please don''t tell anyone." "Wa-ha-ha-ha!" "Looks like you got the top individual competition, and you''re getting bigger, Cronos." Peter and the rest of the group, including myself, have returned the visitors who can join in the clan conversation of Kronos when the number of people we know exceeds the number of people we don''t know. "You seem to take good care of him, Roy. I have the image that the other members are the ones who take care of you after you physically save them. That''s just my image, he might actually be a meticulous man. No, I don''t think so, judging from his e-mails. That''s why I''m on a strenuous search, trying not to let Kronos or Retsuhi catch me (tsutsumi) finding the cavalry beast. It''s pitch black, but I guess some of them are nocturnal. In that case, I''m not sure if I can summon them in the daytime. > Peter wants to be a tiger type. He is currently staying at the clan house, but I guess he expects A.L.I.C.E. to ride along with him. It is small enough to be used for one person if not for long distances. > Specialized in [Darkness] as expected. <> <<< Usually the recoil would break my wrist or something. At least the bullets are alchemical and magical, right? >> < He has a private conversation with Peter, who is somewhat black, and proceeds along the mountain path, avoiding people. Shin: Oh, oh, oh!¡¡Wolf!¡¡Wolves! Ochazuke: A man who wants to be a wolf is a wolf''s cavalryman. Wolf on wolf Chrysanthemum Princess: Only to catch? Shin: Well, it''s only the beginning, so we''ll see a little more. Ochazuke: Speaking of which, Homura''s cape is ...... Shin: Wooooooooooo!!!!¡¡Black wolf!¡¡Black wolf! Ochazuke: Shut up! Chrysanthemum Princess: She''s fast! Peter: Are they herding? Shin: Tehek! Ochazuke: It wouldn''t be cute if a guy did it. Homura: But it''s not cute when a woman does it, only a golden retriever is allowed to do it. Ochazuke: Please include Labradors! Shin: I''m not a lab, but I''m a canine beastie. Kikuhime: I apologize to the Labrador! Leo: Raccoon dog, get-o-o-o! Homura:! Chrysanthemum Princess: Hey, you''re early! Shin: Huh! Peter: I thought it was quiet. Ochazuke: No, wait. A raccoon dog! Leo: I thought it was a rare dog, but it was a raccoon. Homura: I hope Leo is okay with it: ...... Chrysanthemum Princess: I see you can ride a raccoon dog too ...... Peter: There seem to be more kinds of cavalry than I thought. shin: ta-nu-ki w. sounds like a nice ride! Homura: The raccoon dog is endemic to Japan, which I hear makes foreigners happy. Leo: He''s pretty cute! Leo: Okay, the name is ! Shin: Buh-fo! Homura: Looks fast! Peter: Isn''t that a Ferrari? Ochazuke: You have a good sense of naming things. Kikuhime: As expected. Leo is out of the running. I''ll give him a collar with an emblem on it later, though I''ll have to look up the emblem. As I was talking to him, we were going up the road to nowhere. We are moving from mushroom to mushroom. ....... Climbing up the slippery slope, caught by the trunk of a tree. It''s a good thing the harvest season is so long in this world. is a magic that is hidden from the public eye, because if anyone witnesses it, they will know about the sky magic. Ochazuke: So, Homura''s cloak: ...... Shin: Ugh!¡¡I''m tangled ah! Chrysanthemum Princess: You are restless! Peter: where? Homura: Oh no, what point on the map is Shin? Shin: Thank you! Ochazuke: Sudden thanks, you''re welcome? Shin: Misfire! Suddenly, Shin becomes quiet and does not come up in clan conversations. Kikuhime: Is it only Sin? Homura: Is it safe because there are still points for the number of people on the map? Peter: The two of them are unpredictable. Ochazuke: That''s why the two solids are... Leo: Wahahaha!¡¡I was looking at Romeo''s status!¡¡Shin, are you safe? Peter: Well? Kikuhime: Oh, a cat. Siamese, cute! Homura: Need help? Kikuhime: Hmm, I''ll go alone. Kikuhime''s words remind me of what Paltin and Reno said about the cavalry here wanting to bond with people. Maybe one-on-one confrontation is the way it should be. No, I must find a cavalryman, not a mushroom. Homura: Well, I got the cloak from an unknown entity>>Ochazuke Ochazuke: Unknown ......, so I can''t [appraise] it again. I''m afraid I''m going to touch the mystery, and I don''t want to go any further. Peter: still a mysterious pattern of attack What, you can''t [appraise] it? Chrysanthemum Princess: It''s a nice color cloak, isn''t it? [He seems to be in the mood to limit the clothing to three colors because it''s difficult to adjust the colors. Don''t be selfish!¡¡Well, I prefer clothes of the same color or two or three colors to clothes of many colors. You can''t see the information of the item by [Appraisal], but you can see the state (?) of the <>. It is more and more a mystery, but it seems that others can''t see it either. It is a mystery whether it is because of the level, the [eye], or the owner. Leo: Romeo, it was a two-seater! Homura: mandarin oranges Ochazuke: mandarin oranges......,I only see oranges Peter: Maybe it''s a rare individual? Chrysanthemum Princess: As expected. While applying the "presence detection" function, we proceed cautiously in the direction where we sense a presence. We find a ground-running bird-like cavalryman that looks like an emu, but we pass it. It is plump, but not fluffy. We talk about Leo''s Romeo in clan conversation and continue our search. As we quietly step through the fallen leaves and brush away the twigs, we see something black in front of us. Our eyes met. It seemed to be startled by my appearance, and stopped moving once, but then it immediately bristled up its fur and threatened me. I think I have seen that dusty, scarred beast before, very, very often... ...... "Die!" Ugh!¡¡I see. I change my equipment while dodging in a hurry. You didn''t see anyone, did you?¡¡There must have been no other signs. I mean, this guy didn''t get caught by the "presence detector" either. The black beast moves fast even though it''s covered in wounds and seems to have wounds all over. It is a size larger than Galahad''s tiles, or is it the hair?¡¡It ruffles its stiff, crunchy fur and swings its claws at us. Behind them are several smaller beasts. "Mistiff?" "No, you can''t have it! The black beast increases its speed and steps further in. Every time it steps, it looks as if it is in pain, with blood flowing from everywhere. I don''t want to do anything to the beast, even if it''s not fluffy, but I''m not going to do anything to a wounded beast. I mean, that''s just the way it is. < <> I was scolded. "What!¡¡Mistiff!¡¡You, of your own race, do not side with man!" Backstepping to avoid the increasingly heated beast''s attack. It looks furious and is leading me away from the mystifs. "Hmm?¡¡Same clan?" Wait, is this crunchy thing a mystiff, too?¡¡It looks hard! <> > Oh, I remember now! "You''re the one who was so strongly influenced by Paltin that he couldn''t return from the material world!" As soon as he mentioned Paltin''s name, the attacks stopped. 172 - - The Hunter The black mystiff stopped attacking as soon as Paltin''s name was mentioned. "You, how do you know Master Paltin?" Although he has stopped attacking, he continues to move slowly to his advantageous position and does not let his guard down. "Would it be quicker to call Reno?" "Wouldn''t it be faster to call the Golden Dragon?¡¡If they hear that Mistiff is there, they''ll come out in droves." I have a feeling that would cause quite a stir. What are you whispering about? Wait. What''s the hurry? With all the Gentiles wandering around, I have a feeling that Partin''s appearance would be nothing but a minefield, so I''ll send an e-mail to Reno. I used the ring given to me by Pertin for the first time, since he asked me to use the ring. I tell him Reno''s name with the ring in mind, and a light like a haze of rain floods from the ring, and it takes on a human shape. I had expected it to come flying out of nowhere like a bullet, but it seems I was wrong. It''s been a long time. "Hmm, Leno." Finally, the Black Mistiff lets his guard down. "I''m sorry, but I need your help. We have pursuers." Saying this, the Black Mistiff falls down on the ground. As he falls, his body shrinks to the size of a normal mystiff. "Well, can I recover from this?" He seemed to have reached his limit and fell down with a line like "I''ll leave the rest to you," but I didn''t know if I should wake him up. "Please, but he has a hard time with magic, so it might be a relief. "Is that another attribute of the evil?" For the time being, I clean "his" dirt with [Life Magic] <. The result is shown without any problem. "Yes. He has lost most of his abilities as a mystic, but he seems to have retained the ability to change size at will. He must have shrunk to make it easier for me to carry him." "The black one seems to be quite a challenge." Reno is calling for the other Mysphets, who are probably not as fluffy as the normal Mysphets because of their short fur, but they must be soft to the touch. Come to think of it, this black Myspiff''s fur is long, though it is tangled into a ball on the belly and the fur on the back is as bristly as a wire. It would have been a waste of a parting, a sinful parting. I wrap the black mystiff in a new towel so that I don''t touch it, taking into consideration that I don''t want the human (temporarily) (I) to touch it and smell it. "Can you take care of him?¡¡I hear there are pursuers, so it''s not good to have my hands full, and neither I nor Master Partin can recover him." Two animals are carried on each shoulder by Reno. Soft-looking mystiffs clinging to each other, almost slipping off due to the narrow space. They are actually [floating], so they may not fall off even in unstable places, but they are so cute snuggled up together. "Mr. White, you can stick together more, can''t you?" "Stop being an idiot and watch out for your surroundings!" He bent me over backward with his hind legs. "You said something about pursuers, I''m always on [presence detection], but Myspiff doesn''t fall for it." "We have been targeted so many times that we are used to hiding." I will report to Master Partin on his behalf and take these mystics to the island." Come to think of it, the Black Mistiff has been searching for the remaining Mistiffs in various places and bringing them back to Paltin since he was unable to return home. "Aside from the pursuers, one of my friends approaches me. Not a particularly menacing guy who would shear your hair if you talked to him. ......" White is back again, didn''t like the hair clippings? "I don''t want to drag you into this, so I''m going. If he is so wounded, his pursuers are probably the hunters of Elan. It is already known that Master Partin is protecting Mistiff, so it may be more of an ambush than a chase." "Need some help?" "Thank you very much. But even if we had two handfuls of humans, we wouldn''t be late. It''s a little depressing. ......" You are very rude, Mr. Reno, but I guess it is true that you are very good at what you do. He and Kal defeated Fel Fasi in the labyrinth, and he easily beat a level 50+ on Alice''s Island. And he doesn''t want me to follow him, I guess he intends to kill the clan of Elan if he meets them. I had intended to do so, but he seemed to have been put off by my intentions. Please take care of him. "Yes, sir." I put my equipment back on and put the black mystiff in my pocket with a towel. I felt a little bit of a lump in my stomach, but I didn''t care. and he recovers a few more times. "Homura, what''s out there?¡¡There was a strange feeling in the air." It was Peter who came. I hadn''t noticed any sign of Mistiff, but he seemed to have figured it out. He seems to have a higher level of skill than "sense of presence. "Yeah, he''s not a cavalryman, but I ran into someone I know." "I see. It was a strange sign for a cavalryman, and if it had been any other battle, I would have thought about breaking in." A man with a ninja look, his face hidden by recognition-blocking equipment, ready to break in. "By the way, what''s that white thing?" "...... Mr. White or?" "Mwah." White is flustered. You''re leaving it visible, aren''t you? "This is my summoner, . I didn''t want to tell you this to prevent you from pretending to be one, I''m sorry." You call me a misanthrope, a misanthrope! "It''s true, Leo doesn''t seem to know how to handle it, and Kikuhime is likely to join in, so he''ll be able to fluff up whenever he gets a chance." "Let''s give Leo the satisfaction of an Alfa Romeo." "Through and through? My fluff is mine, and other people''s fluff is mine. I''ll let you blow my Alfa Romeo later. "By the way, there are five more signs approaching. They''re fast, but are they human?" "You have a wide range of detection. Yeah, it''s in my range now. It''s a humanoid with a bow. How do you even know what they''re wearing? "I only know what they look like, so I have no idea about unknown demons and such, but I can easily identify equipment for the humanoid form." I can tell as long as I can touch it with a string. However, I have to be aware of places where there are many obstacles, such as in the forest, or I still can''t make the string fly properly. Now that we are standing still, our search area is expanding. "Understood. Peter, I have an idea of the group that might be coming, but would you stay away from them because I might be in danger?" "Are they strong?¡¡Do you want to join the fight?" "No. Am I a danger to you?¡¡Yeah, don''t come back. When I give you the signal, will you close your eyes and cover your nose?" "Nose. You can''t even breathe?" "Can''t you smell it?" I was tempted to say to myself, "I hope he doesn''t turn into a skunk or a stinkbug. "What about your ears?" "Not even your voice." White Judge Black. Cover it up. Okay, I''m in the shadows. --Here they come. Five chocolate-skinned men emerge from the trees, three men and two women. They are armed with bows and short swords. They were armed with bows and short swords, and short but thick blades like machetes with rounded ends. They were holding them without blades in their hands, as if they had been running while clearing branches. Peter disappears into my shadow on the ground, blending in with me from the tips of his toes. I am steadily gathering ninja skills. "Stop." The leader of the group, a man in a fur cloak, raises his hand lightly to stop the others. "That man there, on your back, is Mistiff, isn''t he?" "--Yes, that''s right." < < It''s a very shrewd fluffer. "Give me the mystiff. I''ll pay you some money for it." A man who looks at you and smiles viciously with a toothy grin. "No." Then I''ll take your life as well as my own." The man raises his hand again to signal, and the four silent men ready their bows in unison. Like hunters, they signaled noiselessly, and their movements were quiet as they readied their bows. Well, I signaled with my back hand, too. "I refuse that too." Seal broken . "N......nnn!" The five of them collapse in a heap. The way they look at me with vacant eyes is quite creepy. Is this what happens when you get hit by a power-up [kyokoku]? Be careful when you face Kuzunoha. "What is your name?" "Ough of Elan." "Aura." "Elm." "Targ." "Haval." The leaders are male, female, female, male, male. Perhaps it is the order of power in the order of their names. The female leader is a female warrior with supple muscles. When I asked the five who had stopped moving and were in a daze, they gave me an answer more honestly than I had expected. "Is it for money that you are collecting mystifs?" Yes, we were forced to leave our land, and we need money to survive. Aura answered. "I offer my mystif to Master Aldvaan for his protection." <> White reacts to the name Aldvaan. > "Life for protection, pelt for gold." "It ends today. It is my wish that when you find Myssiff, you bring him back to Parthin alive." "...... as you wish." "Go." He brushes them off with his hand, and they stagger back the way they came. "...... is that a return to sanity?" < He waits for a while, then reseals the [inclination] and calls out to the shadow. Incidentally, it is said that in the shadow, you can see the scene that the owner of the shadow sees, as if you were watching an image, but you cannot hear his voice, it is an isolated space. The shadows of objects that do not have vision, such as the shadows of trees, do not even have images. When calling out to those in the shadows, they poke the shadows with the tip of their toes or walking sticks. "I''m sorry." "No, it''s okay, but what was that?" Peter comes out of the shadow and asks. Well, I''m sure he''s curious. "They say he''s a hunter after a furry white fellow called Mistyph. Mistiff, who was being chased, was taken to Partin by Leno, who is staying at the general store." "Ah, so it''s that dragonet we met. But still, wouldn''t it have been easier to keep his mouth shut?" "I think it''s for the best this time. Thank God it was Peter who came. "How did you do it?" "I put the on it." "Busted. He''s got that weird skill again. "It''s a title out of control, this one." "You''re going to trigger it no matter who you are." I''ve got a seal on me. "If you''re [fascinated], you''re going to be a stalker. ......,Oh, so it''s a good thing it''s me." "Well, neither Peter nor I have much of a reputation, and we''re good at hiding, aren''t we?" This time, I was in the shadows, so I wasn''t even seen. Ochazuke has a store, and Kikuhime has a wide circle of friends. Leo is conspicuous by his fishing and his behavior, and Shin has been seen at the competitions. I am sure that they will be a foothold in your search for me and cause you trouble. Partin may be a nuisance, but she''ll do what she can. Bring Mistiff, for example. As Peter said, I would have killed them all with no repercussions if I hadn''t fallen under the spell, but it''s more convenient for me to concentrate on Mistiff''s protection. I think Leno was trying not to show his former kindred killers, but I''m the type of person who doesn''t care about anyone but my own people. You could say I switch to a game brain. I don''t think I can protect them all, and I don''t think I want to kill them all. "By the way, Homura, just so you know, the golden dragon here is more like an evil dragon. "Yes?" "The only dragon on this continent that is called a good dragon is Narn, the blue dragon?¡¡Pertin is not a cannibal, but he has half destroyed several cities where people he doesn''t like have fled. He is not overly feared because of the rare ore found in the mountains where he roosts, and the fact that he rarely leaves his territory unless he is messed with. The occasional "good dragon" among the miners?" "Erm, ......." << > > White gives me a glare. "But still, it''s a ''leaning country''. Homura, you look like a last boss. "Why? Not only White, but even Peter! "No, I think we''re in trouble if we don''t take them out now, given their abilities." I''m harmless!¡¡Innocent!" "Sometimes you have to nip a danger in the bud, don''t you?" It was Peter and I who inadvertently forgot to look for the cavalry until the clan conversation resumed. 173 - - 171. Exclusive sofa Ochazuke: When I went to see the show, Shin was surrounded by some horses. I mean, he was helping the twins from Roy''s family to separate the horses except for the one he had chosen. Chrysanthemum Princess: She is liked in a mysterious way. Leo''s Alfa Romeo was all sorts of tartar. Clan conversations were quiet, apparently because they were moving around to check on each other or talking to each other individually. The reopening of the clan conversation reminded me of my original purpose. "No! I have to seriously look for Fluffy. "A cavalryman, a cavalryman." Peter denies it, but we are just in time for the fluffy ones. I just can''t ride in public. "There''s also a big black cat-like thing that looks like a Ket Shee, Gil said when we met him." "I guess everyone encounters a lot of things." "It seems like Retsuhi and Kronos have been coming here for a while. I ran into a wolf type, but there seem to be different colors, so I''m going to pass on the regular ones. "Different colors, or do they have different attributes?" I''ll ask Ochazuke." Peter: Sorry, do cavalry animals have any attributes? Ochazuke: It seems like there is?¡¡I just asked the twins a little earlier, but they seemed busy, so I couldn''t ask them for more details. Peter: You are helping Shin with his horse, I understand. Chrysanthemum Princess: I''m bothering you. Leo: Wahahahaha!¡¡Alfa Romeo was fire! Ochazuke: No way, Leo gave us the best information. Leo: The fur is definitely a bit reddish? Homura: red raccoon ...... Kikuhime: We should make the second fox a green fox! Leo: The only thing that matters is the color of the effect aura when running at full speed? Ochazuke: Maybe there will be an event to strengthen them and they will be able to fight together. Homura: The summoner''s position is ...... Peter: That''s what I''m saying, Tamer W. Kikuhime: If you just want to ride, all you need is good looks and fast legs. Leo: Oh, when I made him sit in the Alfa Romeo, it came out [trained]! Ochazuke: I think we should not only choose the type of the person based on his/her attributes, but also on what type he/she is based on his/her appearance. Homura: Attack type, defense type, or support type? Peter: I can''t predict the raccoon dogs on the WWW. I think that in the future, through events, cavalry and beasts will be able to fight together as pets. I know this is a very hopeful prediction, but I don''t think it''s necessary to have different attributes if it''s just for running, and depending on the type - you can''t ride a rabbit-sized horned beast, as expected - it''s possible to set up a cavalry beast from a pet even now. . so. By the way, the reason I have not seen any [training] is because Bahamut is free-range. I''ve only told him to stop because he''ll open a wound, or to go back and rest. Am I a bad owner? While continuing our conversation, I somehow continue the search for the cavalryman with Peter. It seems that there are a lot of wolves in the cavalry, and we see them several times. I don''t mind if they are wolves because of their fluffy tails, but it is human nature to want to see a few others when we see so many of them. If they had fluffier chest hairs and manes, I might have made a quick decision. Was it Pertin or Reno who said that? He said that the cavalrymen here want to bond with people, that they are the reincarnation of a beast that once bonded with someone. Maybe there''s a tribe somewhere that lives with the wolves. There''s a reaction over there. "Oh." He changes direction and follows Peter''s lead. As the level of [presence detection] increases, the range will gradually become wider, and you will be able to distinguish between demons and people. I hear that it has been changed to [presence detection]. I didn''t ask him how he changed it because it would deteriorate, but I''ll try to devise various ways seriously. Peter seems to want to take out the [thread] with Peter. Gently peeking out from behind a tree, I saw a black tiger. Dark gray fur with a jet-black pattern. "Only the pattern above the eyes and the circles behind the ears are white." "Cute." Cute, I think, too, but objectively it is a fearless-looking beast with black body hair and golden eyes. "Do you want to catch Peter?¡¡I want a little more hair." While Tile of Galahad has orange body hair and is probably an unattributed tiger cavalryman, this black tiger looks a little thinner and more supple than Tile, but its chest hair is a little rusty. "Well, I''ll take your word for it." If you ever need help, just let me know." "Yes, yes, thank you. Just make sure you cut off any skills that might affect the surroundings. So we watched Peter capture the cavalryman. He seemed to be as martial as he looked, and the battle began with a swing of his massive paw. Peter just avoided it, as if he was going to watch it for a while without attacking it. Sometimes there is an event that you become a member if you don''t attack for a certain period of time after the battle starts. Or I heal him. Peter''s asking me to turn off my skills is probably part of that. When the black tiger kicks the ground to pounce, its claws gouge the ground, but when it lands, it does so softly, without making a sound and without disturbing the scene. That''s the cat family. Peter''s quickness seems to allow him to avoid it, so I stand completely on the sidelines. I missed White''s absence since he had returned, and the black mystiff I had tucked into my belly remained wrapped in a towel and didn''t move an inch. Now, since it is no use to be lonely, I set up a cover to watch the game, and while I was at it, I also set up a cover for E! to watch the game, and then we put out some snacks to recover E! Thanks to the sealing skill, the number of the number of the people in the camp decreases more than that of the physical workers, so it is necessary to eat frequently. It is not for the purpose of relaxing. Mini croissants with lots of butter, salad with ham and baby leaves, beef stew with lots of red wine. I''d like to eat the pork stew and pickles with rice as soon as possible, but this is delicious. The croissants are moist and crispy, but the crumbs are easy to clean up, so I don''t mind. The dressing is not too salty because of the saltiness of the ham. The beef stew meat is so tender that it crumbles easily when poked with the tip of a spoon. While he eats, Peter avoids the food in a spectacular manner. One man and one black beast, staying close to each other, changing positions and slipping through the other man''s arms, is a sight to behold. But eventually it comes to an end. The black tigers suddenly stop moving, and after a single howl, they break their front legs and get down. Peter touches the tip of the black tiger''s snout and the contract between the two cavalrymen seems to be sealed. He sighs in relief and looks back at us. "Wait a minute, why is there a tiger buried in there?" "Congratulations on your [cavalry]. No, I was just sitting here, but I noticed you came up to me." Talking to the black tiger in earnest (?) I felt bad and didn''t raise my voice, but a big white tiger came up to me from somewhere. ....... As a result, I made the big tiger into a sofa and was enjoying the feeling of its belly fur while Peter was playing with the black tiger. "What the hell is all my trouble ......?" I''ve been dealing with the black tiger for quite a while. I had expected it to turn on the attack halfway through, but it kept avoiding me. Peter might have had a cat, so it was hard for him to touch it. I wondered why I was in this situation, and what came to my mind was [the pity of Ruscha]. I thought it was a kind of sword and fist technique, but I wondered if it was a creature too. Pink nose, white with black stripes, blue eyes, and a fine chest and belly hair (fluffy), perfect. What is it?¡¡You move?¡¡A white tiger leaned its head back as if to say, "I''m sorry, I can''t help it. Following Peter, I named it by touching its nose. Naming ......, I''ve already named him "balls". Tiger?¡¡Sima? "If you obey me, your name is Byakko." "Grrr." He clears his throat and rubs his face against my hand. I''ve got a tiger. A cavalry tiger can be ridden for a certain amount of time by offering it jewelry or minerals. The cavalry tiger is treated as a pet, but cannot be summoned into battle. The likability, speed, and strength of the tiger may change depending on the food you feed it. If the liking level is high, the help will appear in rare cases during the battle. On the other hand, if the liking level is too low, the animal may run away. Training is now available. The white tiger glows faintly and the contract is completed. Get [cavalry] £¡£¡£¡£¡ "I thought I needed a gem to get in." "I don''t know, I''m not convinced, but congratulations. I received congratulations in a very subtle tone. Peter named the black tiger <. The <> can be filled with food for 20 days. Depending on the food, the animal''s ability changes, such as being faster, being harder to be found by enemies, and being able to run long distances. I heard that each race has some strengths and weaknesses from the beginning, but since the black tigers and white tigers are only different in color, they have almost the same ability values at present. It will be interesting to see how the difference will be revealed. After that, Kikuhime got a white cat and Ochazuke got a blue drake (lizard). Their names are and respectively, and Ochazuke is still relentless in naming them. Kuroyaki looked like a slightly flattened Komodo monitor lizard that had turned blue, and he walked around with Ochazuke on his back, looking quite cute. He was aiming for a dragon at the end of his life, hoping to evolve in the future. I wonder if I can get another lizard type.¡¡No, even if they didn''t aim for evolution, there were intermediate and final stages, right? I guess we have one slot left, too, Fluffy ....... Shin''s [cavalryman] is a horse type, and his name is . Takeda-san was mooching the hair of Shin''s head while we were watching him. Was it a horse''s affectionate behavior? ...... pray you don''t go bald. ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ More... ! ?ET Tiger ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ 174 - - 172. The 15th Floor of the labyrinth My White Tiger << White Tiger >> Peter''s Black Tiger << Black Sky >> Chrysanthemum Princess''s White Cat<>. Drake of Ochazuke<>. Leo''s Red Raccoon <>. Shin''s black horse . Roy and his friends laughed at me for being so uneven. In addition, Roy told the clan members that he had shuffled to the labyrinth attack, and the members who had a bad attitude in Leo''s name flipped out ...... to the extreme, but only a few of them, even though they were friendly with the main members (Roy and others) bar in Kronos. The look at him is no longer particularly spiky. --I remember Leo''s name being mentioned a few times in the world announcements. He is a celebrity, after all. Our attitude toward the clan has changed, but I''m not sure if it will stay the same toward the other clans. ...... Well, Roy and the others will make it work. By the way, what''s everyone''s favorite food? Peter asks smilingly. "The white tiger is ice cream. ......" Why ice cream when you''re a tiger? "Alfa Romeo has oranges!" "Salad at my place." "I''m a carrot, like a horse!" "Our Snow White is a cookie." The favorite food is strawberry ice cream, chocolate ice cream, etc., as long as they are in the same family, but with the proviso that they must be of rank 40 or higher. I think Haru-san''s milk can afford the rank of ice cream, though. "Ah ......, it''s pretty spread out." "What''s Peter''s black heavenly food like that?" After a beat, Peter answers. "Lizards." All eyes were on the blackened tea-soaked black soybeans. In addition, the eyes of Kuroten narrowed. "Oh, stop it, will you?¡¡It''s called black pottery, but it''s not edible!" "Grrr!" As the ochazuke panicked, Kurotenshi washed his face with his big hands as if to say, "What are you talking about? "Either the oatmeal with the name ''kuroyaki'' is bad, or it''s a bad food because it''s Peter''s." It''s both, isn''t it? "Wa-ha-ha-ha!" Kikuhime gave a clear answer to Shin''s question, and Leo''s laughter echoed. "It''s easier than the tenth layer." After capturing the cavalry beast, they are coming to the labyrinth. Leo and Shin, who have no money, can only see a future where it will be difficult to feed the beast, let alone make it grow and ride it as desired, so they decide to explore the labyrinth so that they can make money. The labyrinths that have not yet been reached by people can be sold at high prices for dropped materials, and there are mining and extraction points, so it will take some money to come here, but even if I come here solo, I should be able to make a profit if I avoid enemies and stay here for a while by mining and extracting. "There''s moss growing all over the place..." "Speaking of moss, we need to buy a small boat with a pier on Kulan Island." "I want to go boat fishing!" Perhaps the moss reminded him of the huge broccoli-like moss on the island, Leo''s tension rose when Ochazuke mentioned it. I don''t have the [fishing] skill, but I should be able to catch some common fish, and a leisurely fishing trip in a small boat might be a good idea. But still Leo gave me a lot of fish, and I wondered where the money I paid for them had gone.¡¡It''s too much trouble to find out the price range for each type of fish, and most of them are not on consignment, so I pay a flat fee based on rank. ......, casino, I guess. I look at Leo''s tail. "Is Leo going to be a fox yet?" He must have been going to the casino for the prize, the to become a fox. "Wahahahahaha ......~" "I''m too scared to ask how much you''ve lost!" Kikuhime says to Leo, who only laughs weakly. "You two should keep the money for the cavalry and the transfer to the labyrinth separate, okay?" "Sil has a little deposit in the casino bank!¡¡One of these days I''m going to win a lot of money!" "Wow, you''re a bad person." Ochazuke admonished him, but Shin replied with a line that was so full of bad sense that Peter laughed but was still slightly taken back. In the battle, Shin and Peter defeat the high goblins who use daggers to spread anomalies, while Leo and I defeat the snaggers who use flying weapons. If there were more snaga, Peter would go for the snaga, and so on. Ochazuke does not use attacking actions such as [throwing], which he used to do in between attacks, but is ready to heal the members as soon as any abnormality enters the group. It is a different way of fighting from Galahad''s group, but it is fun and exciting to fight with a group of people who know each other well and share the same roles. Well, it is also fun when the procedure collapses for some reason and you are in an uproar. Strength is easy to adjust thanks to the cloak, so it is easy to match everyone''s strength. It is good to cooperate and scream together. He seems to be in a good mood. Turning to the cloak, I saw the results of the appraisal. No, yes, because I praised him. By the way, if the roles of Leo and Peter were reversed, the oatmeal would say "Snagazan! When he encounters an enemy, he shouts, and Leo runs out when the number of enemies is three or more. I cast < on the enemy, and cast a range of action inhibitors on the enemy so that arrows do not fly to Ochazuke. In the meantime, Leo reaches Snaga and strikes her. The target of the attack is shifted to Leo, but because of the defense effect of [Kuroyoh] and Snaga''s bow attack is too close, it does not do so much damage. I think that it would be better to stab him directly with the arrow, but I release the attack magic. "I wish more spiders would appear! "What? Kikuhime, who has a sewing skill, asks for a spider for a drop item, and Leo, who hates spiders, shouts. I''m not particularly fond of spiders, as long as they don''t send their scales flying at me. The conversation is cut short as they munch on grilled skewers of meat. After the 13th layer, where the shield-wielding Sunaga is mixed in, I see that the enemy has a troublesome party composition, and Ochazuke starts to play , so I take a break from inhibiting magic and go on the offensive from the beginning. The shield-wielding Sunaga had Kikuhime''s target (tag) firmly fixed on her, and the bow-wielding Sunaga, who had been charmed by <>, stuck arrows into her from behind, a rather terrible scene. The enemy has no mercy. "We''ve come this far in good time," he says. Ochazuke stopped in front of the door to the boss level, as he does every time. "Take a break, boss." I said as I sat down on the steps in front of the door, and the others sat down at random. "Oh, by the way, I bought an iron table. "Oh, where did you get that?" It''s a combination of a general store and a furniture store in Navai. But they didn''t have a big one for six people." "Well, that''s a shame." "The big ones would be the glass-topped ones that you''re not supposed to move." I thought an iron table would be more comfortable than a candy-colored marquetry cat''s paw table, even if I put it out in the open air. But it is not so easy. Today''s meal was paper-wrapped smoked hamburger steak with mushroom sauce, green salad, and a small loaf of freshly baked bread. Orange peel with chocolate coating and orange sherbet. "I''m starting to wonder if there are any stair-compatible tables anywhere, let alone iron tables." The trays were hard to eat! "Yum, yum, bread!" I put a lot of Mr. Haru''s signature butter on it! "I want to eat this slowly." "I''m so sorry. ......" "Leo, please, swallow before you speak." I am relieved that their reactions are more subdued than when I fed Galahad and his friends. "Was the 15th floor boss the first one that Retsuhi defeated?¡¡The Kronos one?" "Yes, the fire." Peter answers Shin''s question. "The most advanced is the 25th floor ?¡¡It looks like the drops off after that." The rabbit girls are further ahead with the residents, so you''ll have to work hard to catch up. "Oh, I remember the announcement. Three more bosses!¡¡I wonder what''s going to evolve. I wonder if the foxes are going to be there too." Leo responds to <. I want to make him give up the casino and lead him to the labyrinth. "No, we''re most advanced on the 40th floor. Peter corrects him. ...... Huh?¡¡Oh, it''s me!¡¡I''ve been giving myself a no-can-do! "Huh!" Shin dodges the attack of the "Blood Fighting Ogre. Kikuhime is the one who is fixing the target, but he attacks Kikuhime and also attacks Shin, Leo, and the others in close proximity. This is the second time for [Ogre of Blood Fighting]. That time, Galahad was downed early, so I didn''t know, but it seems that the more combos are connected, the stronger the combo becomes. The most important thing is to stop the combos rather than to increase the damage. When the fighting combo of [Ogre of Blood Fighting] was connected 15 times, he showed us a trick of crushing [Earth Magic] < from the inside. "Stop combos after 10 or less.¡¡If it comes to me, I will die almost instantly!" Ochazuke gives instructions to Shin, who has been hit by a fist, while applying <. "That''s good, it''s burning." Shin wipes the blood from the spot where he just bled and is in a good mood to fight with a humanoid who does not use weapons. After taking a short step to adjust the distance, he takes a large step forward and throws a powerful kick. "Should I refrain from using [poison] here for Shin''s sake?" "It''s okay, it''s not one-on-one. Shin can come back for a one-on-one when he''s ready to solo. "That''s right!¡¡You have the freedom to go head-to-head and die later." Is that where you''re supposed to die? I was so excited that I couldn''t help but tsk-tsk... "Ha-ha-ha-ha!" "Oh, poison yourself!¡¡I''m going to go to the mine and challenge this guy before bed and make it a daily routine to return to death until I win." Oops, looks like Shin, who looked even worse than Leo, is back on the right track. I''ve got four blood-fighting ogre claws. I have the Blood Tears of the Ogre x5. I''ve got the basket hand of the bloodthirsty ogre. I have obtained the magical stone of the Ogre of Blood. I got the black steel x10. I got the Ring of Power +3. I got the . At any rate, I had forgotten about the black mystiff in the robe. I hope it''s OK, because I didn''t move around too much in my wizard play. 175 - - 173. The solution is in your hands. "Yee-haw!¡¡I''m on the level!!!!" Yay!¡¡Likewise!" "It''s up." "It''s up, it''s up, it''s up." The four of them are happy to have reached a higher level. I watch them rejoice as they cast <> on the black mystiff, which is tucked into the belly of their robes, rather than into their pockets. "I''m at the level cap. !¡¡There''s a level cap?" Peter''s words amaze me, I''ve never heard of this before. "I mean, there is a level cap, or rather, a skill with a level, right?" "Yeah." Yes, some don''t. "Except for enhancement and resistance, once you have more than 50 leveled skills, you will not be able to increase your level. "What? "That''s new!" "Oh, no, I took too many!" It''s me, Leo, Shin. I''m in a hurry to get the status and count ......, but there''s too much to count, so I''ll do it later. But, come to think of it, I haven''t been able to level up for a while. "I heard so, after that it only goes up to the bottom of the skill level?" Ochazuke''s no-no. Please don''t leave me with no way to go up. "If you''re going to take on a lot of skills, you have to be willing to take a certain amount of risk." "If you take something that is in line with your sub/main job, there''s nothing wrong with 50." Gong. It''s a trap of taking all the things you don''t use skill points for without thinking about it. No, in fact, I think there were many skills that I learned directly as it is. ....... "I took some production skills that I didn''t intend to take. Well, the only thing that hasn''t gone up is production, and production skills go up if you spend money on them." Peter probably also acquired production skills for <. This was discovered because the combined profession players, whose main job is combat, have been taking production skills all the time. Well, ...... [unraveling] is level 5. No, before that, there''s the brilliant [Demon Changer Lv.1]. I''m not sure what I''m going to do to get to the next level. "I''m sorry." Peter says lightly with a laugh. "When it comes down to it, I don''t want to waste my skill points, but I guess I''ll have to discard what I''ve learned." I''m not up to the skills I don''t want to throw away!¡¡Is it a trap?¡¡Is it a trap! The arena? "It''s popular to pick an opponent and coordinate with each other to improve your skills so that you don''t kill each other." "Please ......" "Me too, me too!¡¡I want to improve my fighting skills!¡¡I want to go for that combo the Ogre just used!" I''m in. "I''m coming, I''m coming." "Would it be more efficient if there were more people?¡¡Depending on the type of thing we want to improve, we may have to split up." Ochazuke''s suggestion is taken up by everyone, and Peter announces the arrangements. We''ll have to do something about the "demon change," but we need to raise other things as well. At least 40 average ...... far. It''s not fun to make things that we won''t use, but we should put our sil into it and raise it. "We''re all in, maybe we''ll do it next time? "This time, it will cost money to go back, so we''d better go on with the labyrinth. Two people with good planning skills confirm the plan and proceed with the conversation. Peter, too, seems to have a plan, even though he has more than 50 pieces. And he seems to be taking various skills in detail. Finally, Ochazuke said "Usually by the time you get to 50, you''ll be at a higher level and probably have more skills." I guess that means you''ll have to move on to ...... sooner than later! In the 16th layer, there is a mushroom-like thing called a cedar, which looks like a jellyfish, and sometimes sprays poisonous spores when you pass by it. When you step on it or crush it, it sprays poisonous spores over a wide area. Moreover, they are highly poisonous. "Aaah!" Leo promised to rush in and trample it down. "No!" And it was also promised to involve Kikuhime, who was in the front of the group, in the shield role. "Is this the poison stage?" Peter, who is usually a little further in front, looks at Leo, who is making a lot of noise after being poisoned. He must have been watching the situation because the environment was changing. "Good luck, poison ninja!" Ochazuke heals Kikuhime and Leo, in that order, and says to Peter. "Ugh, I have to watch my step, don''t I?" Shin looks around, checking the shadows of the rocks in the cave and the cedars peeking out among the moss. They must have [Poison Resistance], but they can''t step on them because if they step on them in close proximity, they might cause Chrysanthemum Princess to get hurt. "It must be tough being in close quarters." "The magic swordsman is saying something!" HAHAHA! "Do you need some < anyway?" By unspoken agreement, someone will not spoil the first location, so there will be those who have not brought anything. In the past games, we would prepare a few more items that were useful for the strategy, but we would not go to the trouble of spending money to prepare enough for everyone, and we would play the game as if we were on a high horse, but thanks to [medicine preparation] and [storage], we always had plenty of medicine. "I''m bringing my own." "Finally, the [Poison Resistance] skill is on!" "I have a [poison-resistant]." I want it. Sell it! "Deleterious Toxins ......" "That''s a disturbingly named resistance. I can only imagine how dangerous it would be if it came from handling a deadly poison. The same thing seemed to have occurred to Ochazuke. "I''ll leave it to your imagination." Peter smiles and avoids making a statement. You have it, don''t you?¡¡Deadly poison. With limited footholds, the lead is Peter and Leo. The two of you will try to flank or rear the enemy as much as possible, with Shin in front. Since the enemy is more long-range, Kikuhime stands in front of the ochazuke while drawing their attacks with her skills. At first, she tried to avoid stepping on the enemy''s foot by <, but instead, she had a lot of accidents. Leo and Shin were amused, but Ochazuke told them to play again in a poison-free cave. They stepped around so much that the < ran out, or they hit the walls with too much force and went bobbing and bobbing. He seemed to be enjoying himself. "What the hell is this? "Gross!" "What are we going to do about this?" "Wahahaha!¡¡It''s creepy indeed!" "Homura-sensei, how did you get out of here?" Steadily progressing to the 19th layer of the multi-area . Cedrus Sea and Cedrus Sea were all over the ceiling, not just on the floor. The Cedrus were spewing poisonous spores, and the Seedle Sea was waving its slimy, mycelium-covered tentacles. "This is what happens after someone hatches a Seadle Sea and lets it multiply without treating it." The floor, walls, and rocks of the cave are so heavily bombed that you can''t even see them. "There aren''t usually this many of them, are there?" "Mm. Usually there''s a foothold. They hatch at the sight of a human, and if you leave them as they are, they will hatch in a chain. It''s good manners to knock down the hatches so they don''t multiply. I''ve only been here once. If this is the "normal state," then the gentiles have the worst manners. "How far have you come with the fire and the rabbit girl?" I don''t want to think it''s the same people from [Retsubi]," he confirms. "I don''t know about the rabbits, but when we caught Alfa Romeo, Gil said something like, ''I met Solo Man in the labyrinth, and the Flame King''s in a bad mood again. "Ah, Akira-kun." Ochazuke reacts to Leo''s words. "I''ve heard your name mentioned in a solo defeat in the labyrinth, <>, wasn''t it?" Peter adds. What is it?¡¡I don''t run into you very often, but you''re making a worse and worse impression on me, Akira!¡¡Not that we have decided that Akira is to blame for this debacle. "If we steadily eliminate them, it''ll be time for Leo to go to sleep, and if we don''t, it''ll be a problem for the rest of them, and we''ll have to exterminate them, so wait a minute." I change into the white coat given to me by the gods, equip myself with the staff Tasya gave me, and I''m ready to go. The magic I''m about to unleash is not tree magic, but I expect it to have the effect of "increasing the power of magic". The cloak, which was dark green, is now white to match the rest of his equipment. The result of the cloak appraisal. ...... I feel like this cloak has two extremes. "Magic?¡¡I''ll grant it." Ochazuke will reapply the [Intellect Grant]. I feel that everyone is looking at me with bated breath, wondering what I''m going to do, so I pretend to be enthusiastic by brushing off the hem of my cloak like Verus. < "Wow. £¡£¡£¡£¡¡¡Wow. £¡£¡£¡£¡" Leo and Shin shout. Having defeated more than 300 enemies in a single turn, they have earned the title [Sweepers]. Ice Magic] Lv.25, <> [Charge] [Stack], adding [Range Magic] on top of the original range magic. It is more powerful than when it froze Seadle Shi Dorun before. Moreover, unlike the boss''s room, it froze the entire front and visible area in the narrow cave. The ice containing the Seedle Seas shatters with a clattering sound. All that remained was cold air and ice flowers. "It''s beautiful, isn''t it? "It''s refreshing magic for ice, isn''t it?" "The range is amazing, you idiot." Peter was misled to think it was exhilarating, but that was because there were so many targets he had defeated. It was indeed exhilarating to see them being shattered and destroyed, but the H! If you can''t kill them with a single blow, they just freeze for a certain period of time, so it''s usually a rather graceful magic. "I didn''t expect such a large area to be frozen either." "We dropped a lot of orc meat and high goblin magic stone, didn''t we?" "Me too! Me too!" Leo agrees with Singh''s words. "<> is . We won''t have to worry about ingredients for a while." Peter looks happy. "...... I didn''t think I could wipe out anything but the Seedle Sea either." They are supposed to be mainly long-range attacks and recovery magic, so they are more h!? than normal orcs and goblins. I didn''t expect that they would die by a single blow from a ranged magic. Is it that, or is [Verus no Ri] working? I guess the power of the spell has jumped up because I released the suppression I had been holding back. < also bad? "What is Homra fighting now?¡¡Are we close to the end boss?" "No, we usually go around the 35th layer here: ......" "That''s not normal either." "Wa-ha-ha-ha!" When he answers Ochazuke''s question, Peter denies it without a pause. ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ...more... Title.

Each Direction "Well, I guess I don''t have much time left.¡¡Let''s find a mining point and make a little money." Sorry. "No, it''ll take me until morning this time if I have to deal with the Seadle Sea. It''s not Homra''s fault." It would be ideal to be able to exterminate only the Seedle Sea, but unfortunately such a dexterous adjustment is not possible. Since I had already eliminated the enemies on this floor and was walking around, I had enough time to spare for the battles along the way. Ochazuke suggested that we use the extra time to make money. "If Homura hadn''t been there, we wouldn''t have been able to proceed. "I guess you have to beat them steadily, don''t you? Shin says as he hears Kikuhime''s indignation and mines with his kahn-kahn. <, they are all taking [Mining] in the end. I''d like to get some items from the mining side as well, but I haven''t done so because I don''t want to spend time looking for the field bosses. Because I wanted to see something new: ....... Now that there is a white tiger, I might go and look for it.¡¡But there are only rare bosses left for both solo and party defeat. It''s impossible to get them to "<> and pass through without stepping on them, because unlike Cedar, they are active enemies. The only way is to have volunteers clean it up." You don''t count yourself among the volunteers, do you, Peter? "That''s it, the final act.¡¡I''m going to build a base here. Eagle told us that although the timing of the labyrinthine change is not known, it always happens when we try to set up a permanent resting place outside of the boss''s room. It''s hard to say that the labyrinth change is also treated as a map change to prevent ruts from happening from the players'' point of view. I''ve never heard of a way to build a base. "Don''t worry, I''m not the first to say it, but neither am I." Ha-ha-ha-ha!" "Now that we''re at a level where we can get [cavalry], maybe we''ll get a way to build a base for a long trip." Shin and Ochazuke are busy mining, despite the conversation between them. The most common stones that can be mined here are <<<<<<<<>. It''s food for the cavalry. "Well, even if you don''t build a base, if you don''t attack for a certain period of time, there will be a problem and the map will be changed. By the way, Homura-sensei, <> over here. There is a point on the ceiling here. Peter''s words made me look up and sure enough, there was a point near the ceiling. "The cavalry bait looks hard, by the way." "Black is for comfort and blue/silver for speed. I don''t see much of the other ones. "Hmm?¡¡I''m averaging out." Peter blurts out, "I am digging without bias. "I''m getting a lot of reds." "Yeah, maybe it''s a combination of attributes." Ochazuke makes a guess at Shin''s self-assessment, and although it is a guess, it doesn''t feel wrong. Green is the time until the next available ride, yellow is the range of action, red is the increase in payload, and gold is the distance. The range of action means that the rider can go to the place where the type of the beast does not want to go, or to the terrain where the rider is not good at. "Ah, here comes the ceiling <>. It''s a big improvement in riding comfort, so it''s a higher rank than the black beast stone." "Water is more of a blue image, though." "Wind is also blue-silver, and it is rare that there is no pure blue in the game." "Well, the sea is black in the Little Mermaid''s hometown (Copenhagen), too." "The Sea of Japan in winter!¡¡Lightning strikes in winter!¡¡One place brings out the best in everyone. The tea pickles join in the chattering and mining, sometimes softly < to the black mystiff in their bosom. "Ah. ...... I remember that the snow white of Kikuhime needs to be loaded up, right?" While digging, I ask a nearby Chrysanthemum Princess. Peter digs dexterously, but every time I swing my crane beak down, the impact nearly sends me flying. Even so, the [aerial action] seems to be working, and I don''t fly away with each swing like Leo does. Is it more stable if I activate [Aerial Movement] and don''t <>?¡¡No, he should be stable like Peter if he tries hard enough. "That''s right, your equipment is heavy, isn''t it? Snow White is fast and a nice girl..." "Oh, well, I''ll give you red, just give me the color I don''t want." The White Tiger has been heavily loaded from the start. Galahad''s tile was also a two-seater, and professionally my equipment will be heavier from now on ......, depends on what I will be when I change jobs. "Oh, I don''t have a red one either." "As you can see, Takeda, are you as loaded as you look?" "A lot!¡¡I want to build a cavalry corps someday!" "So that was Takeda." "There is a limit to the total number you can feed, so maybe the right thing to do is to choose by occupation. My black roast has a short rest time, but its speed is low. "Speaking of which, what about Leo''s Alfa Romeo?" "My Alfa Romeo is comfortable!" "I see." I wonder if mixing into Reno''s diet would improve his riding comfort. I guess not, since Reno is not a cavalryman by nature. Speaking of not being a cavalryman, I bet Bahamut is not a cavalryman either. ......, I did a bad thing because I said something careless in front of Verus. I''m not sure if it''s a horse beast, but I''m sure it''s not a horse beast. Yeah, it''s close to the area where you can pick up skill stones and the area where you can get the tablet for changing jobs. If you don''t do anything strange, you should be able to get them just fine. So, we go to the mining point at the destination, and go to the boss. I''ve been following the Seadle Sea''s propagation, and the idiot who encouraged this proliferation has gone to a dead end a couple of times, far from the door that leads to the boss. What a hassle! "Aaaaahhhh!¡¡More ahhhhh!" As promised, Shin hit Seadle Shi Dorn with a [Phoenix Fist] combo, [Fire Attribute], causing the mycelium to spread and the mycelium balls to bob up and down. "Ha ha ha!¡¡The [fire attribute] will increase!" The openness to say what I had kept quiet. I was the one who used bland [metallic] magic so as not to give it away. "Oh, no!¡¡I only have fire as my attribute! "Wahahahaha!¡¡I''m [wind attribute]!" "Didn''t Leo get [Phal''s Blessing]?" I thought I got that from the pants fountain, didn''t I? "Val is a favorite!¡¡Fast!¡¡I don''t know what the water does for you!" "Wait a minute. You''re a healer, right?¡¡You went through [healer], right?" On the contrary, he should have received a strong skill from Fal. Leo is too free. And surely Val would be amused, Leo. I was strangely convinced. "I''ve got [erosion] on my shield!" "Oh no, I was about to use [fire attribute] too." "The appearance of enemies that are strengthened by their attributes... I''m looking forward to seeing in the labyrinths from now on!" Ochazuke, you are correct. There will be fairies and stuff, and you won''t have to worry about <>!¡¡And by the way, there will be nice buddies who use the more powerful [erosion]! While we talk, we destroy the mycelium with non-attribute attacks for the time being. I cast < again, and Leo, who is too far away from the oatmeal, says, "Don''t poke me, you idiot!" and throw medicine at them. ......[Sacred Magic]<>, but instead of kicking him, he swings at the back of Leo''s head. It does zero damage, or at least heals him, so that''s good. "From now on, if [Appraisal] doesn''t work on the boss, I''ll use [Throw] of the six attributes to do weak damage and see how it goes." Since the boss you are facing is of a higher level than you, your [Appraisal] will only show a failure or a name. Peter practices [throw] as he talks. Bitter balls, each clad in the color of its attribute, fly toward the increased number of mycelium balls. Wood, normal. Fire, mycelium has grown. Earth, normal. Gold, normal. Water, increased. Wind,damage increased. Look out, it increases water too!¡¡I thought it was weak against the same type of water, since ice was so bad. "Bitterless, another ninja-esque thing." Homegrown. Peter replies to Ochazuke''s words. It seems that he has both production [dark weapon] and skill [dark weapon]. I can''t ask him about it, though, because I think he acquired it as a skill of an assassin. "Did you acquire all attributes of magic after all? "Yes. Except for light, I ended up with wind. And I met a god and got more. My skill set is flat. I''ve been running out of skill points all year. Peter, who seems to have pioneered many other minor skills. "Ah!¡¡d*mn, E! I was going to take the one that raises [fire attribute] during a combo when I took the recovery type!¡¡[Tiger] ." "Thank you, thank you." Enchanted Shin''s fist, which is rotting away without gaining any damage, with [Wind Attribute]. I got 4 Seedle See Dorn''s Mucous Threads. I have obtained 5 Seedle See Dorn cocoon balls. I got the dagger of Seadle Shi Dorn. I have the magic stone of Seadle Shi Dorn. I got 10 steel threads. I got the ring of poison resistance +3. I got the < of the Seedle See Dorn. Inexplicably, the best damage dealer was Leo. He was also active at the time of the three orcs, and is he steadily getting stronger in spite of the unprecedented situation, perhaps? When I left the labyrinth, I received a mail from Mr. Org, a food wholesaler in Isle. He said that there was a merchant staying in town who was going to Fusou, and if I was interested, I should meet him. 177 - - The Merchant Oh, there you are. "Thanks for calling." It''s already bedtime or something, but I''m here at the wholesale store on the isle. The warehouse is bustling with people unloading, taking goods to the warehouse, and vice versa. Mr. Org welcomes me with a smile, and even though he is still the owner of the big store, he seems to be working with me on the site. "Here''s a souvenir. "Eggs. Which one?" He accepts it with these words. I gave him a small amount of , and there is a reason for the small amount. "...... holy shit." Yes, it''s ranked as a god ingredient. The number of < has been steadily increasing, and Pochi is the boss of ten. I think it is Tama and Mee who are actually in charge. Tama and Mee gather other chickens when I call them. Once, when I was cooking at the general store, about two people who couldn''t wait to cook came to peek around and I asked them to help me. At that time, I was cooking as usual to adjust the taste of the registered recipe. I had registered several kinds of egg omelet recipes such as sweet, dashi-maki, salty, hard, fluffy, and so on. All I asked him to do was to crack the eggs into a bowl. ....... I noticed that swords and spears were dancing in the living room (behind me). "d*mn!¡¡Even the yolk is broken. I was so stupid ......." "It''s not so easy, is it? It seems that it was impossible to break the rank of divine ingredients with bare hands. ....... Galahad and the others who tried couldn''t even crack it, and they were hit with an iron claw by Kal when they tried to use their skills in the room. Cal was able to cut both pieces off, but depending on the position, the yolk was cut in half as well. Reno sometimes crushed the yolk and made a terrible mess of it, but he was able to cut the shell with his spear with surprising dexterity. (Note: All of them were delicious.) ......The egg-cracking was the first time I saw Kal''s swordsmanship. I wonder how strong he is compared to Galahad and the others. Me?¡¡I usually hit the edge of the bowl with a kon-kon and crack it open. If I''m not very good at it, there might be a reason why I can''t break it with a sword. That''s why I have a small amount, because it was a mystery to me whether other people can cook it or not. "I don''t think I can use it with those cooks, but I think Rudolph would be thrilled if I just showed it to him. Rudolph is the name of the chef of the restaurant who wrote the letter of introduction. In the real world, it is not easy to remember people''s names, but in the <>, it is easy to remember because everyone is unique. "And this one, too." Bring out a few barrels. They are filled with , but as soon as I put them in the barrels I had purchased, their rank drops. He wonders if he should make barrels out of the material from the < given to him by Ruscha, but then realizes that these barrels would be more useful to give away to someone else. "This is also ......, it can be used as an ingredient, so I can [appraise] it, but from reading the description, I think it would be better to give it to the temple. I mean, which garden, which garden? Something I can''t say about my garden. I have a feeling that Mr. Org has an "eye" for foodstuffs. I can see the item name and rank, but I can''t decipher the detailed description. Is it holy water or divine water or something like that? Sugar cane is also increasing steadily, but it is taking a little time because I have to do the planting due to the grass. While I was waiting and sipping tea at the rest area next to the warehouse, a merchant who travels back and forth to Fuso arrived shortly after. He told me that he crosses to Fuso twice a year when the sea route is open for a few days, and that he was staying at the isle to adjust his daylight hours when the time came again. Foussou is very different from the rest of the country. ......Yes, for example, you cannot directly activate [skills] externally in that country. For example, in that country, for example, you cannot directly activate [skills] externally. "[Skill]?" I don''t know, are you a wizard? "[Skills], including magic, are pre-packaged in . <. I have heard that it is possible to learn how to make , but it seems that it can only be made in a special building called < or in a <." "I can learn, but do I need a [ward]?" I''ve been putting it off. "Also, the laws on this continent are codified, but they are not so clear over there. The basic laws are posted in places like bulletin boards, but the details seem to be governed by what we call court precedents here. That''s it, a high tag. In the Edo period, laws were not written in texts like the Roppozensho (Complete Book of the Six Laws of Japan) for everyone to read, but were kept under wraps. It is said that it was a crime to look up the law if you wanted to know the contents of the law, except for what was written on a bulletin board in the plaza called "takafuda. --I heard that it was quite lax, though. I wonder if they were trying to improve the morale by making people think that doing such things would be a crime. How about writing everything down when you see crimes in the news that take advantage of loopholes in the law or that take advantage of the law?¡¡I wonder. But when I am in a position to go there, I realize that it is an international society, and I am afraid that I might commit a crime due to the difference of culture and customs if I don''t write about it. No, well, even if it is written, I will not read all of it. In fact, I bought a copy of "The Laws of GEERS" at a used bookstore and left it there with a sense of relief. I am referring more to the warnings at the Adventurer''s Guild and the "don''t cut down trees" sign I saw in Sir, which is practically the same as the system in Fuso. "I have heard from those who went to check on the situation that the sea is a little different this time. It seems that the sea dragons have changed their behavior. Sorry!¡¡It is probably because my island has entered the sea dragon''s walking route. It will be a few days before I go to Fuso, he asked me. I told him that it would be a long time before I would be able to go there, considering the skill level up in the arena and other things in the real world, and he replied that it would probably be around the right time. It seems that game-like convenience has been achieved. I was told that a party of A-rank adventurers would escort me, and I was to go with them to the ship as an escort without any pay. I was not expected to be an escort, of course, but this merchant named Hop said that he owed a debt of gratitude to Mr. Org and that he would not mind if I did not get in the way. He said, "If it''s up to two people, I can hire an escort for you at my own expense. I wonder if the limitation on the number of people is due to the ship?¡¡I could invite someone, but I''ve specified a weekday off, so I''m not sure if our schedules would work out. I could ask Reno to take me to Fuso, but it would be better to go with someone who knows the area better. I would also like to see how the escort mission, which is a promise in a story involving an adventurers'' guild, is going to be like. "Oh, well, Homura, I''ll be waiting to hear your tales!" I thank Mr. Org, say goodbye, set up my bed in the [garden], and get ready to lie down and log out. Before that, I had to check the occupations ......, there were so many that I had to scroll down, and I didn''t have the energy to read all of them, but there were more. Asha''s heroes, Verus'' heroes, Tasya''s judges, the cook of the gods, Tasya''s alchemists, ......, just looking at them makes me hungry. I think you mean the game of Go, not the game of egret?¡¡No, you mean black and white. There are a lot of things out there without any kind of restraint. I''ll have to run to the guild archives and see if there are any more ways to change jobs after this one. I haven''t been to the other continents yet, and it seems like it will be a long time after this, so I''m sure there might be a way to change jobs. Before going to bed, I had a bowl of tai-chazuke - not tea, but soup stock. E! and went to bed (logged out). <<< again and again Oh, I hear the voices again. They are neither adults nor children, and I am not sure if they are male or female. In fact, I am not even sure if I recognize them as sounds. You try to listen to it, but it''s so broken up that you can''t make sense of it. < In the latter half of the song, the voice becomes dim and unintelligible. Barely "I want to sleep, that''s for something, something, something"?¡¡I thought about it, and then I returned to the real world. 178 - - The Adventurers Rank Retrieved from "[i]n the hand armor of the Ummu. As expected, just hearing the voice does not seem to go up to [Blessing]. However, the item of equipment was presented to me. I wonder if ...... this is also a type of item that cannot be removed once it is equipped. The result of the cloak appraisal [It''s the nature of the cloak, it''s the nature of the cloak. It''s your nature that you can''t unequip yourself! I changed my clothes and [appraised] the cloak, and this is the result. This time, I carefully [appraise] the item before equipping it. ......,okay, nothing special is said. <. --I guess it''s because it''s known information since it was announced. I don''t think it is something that can be appraised at my level of [appraisal]. The plate is not a plate that covers the whole arm, but a cylindrical shape with openwork of smoked silver/gold metal that is almost black, or rather a pattern with metal rods, and a transparent jewel in the shape of a lens on the part that touches the back of the hand. When touched, the jewel changes color to the same color as the <>, the abode of Bahamut, just as the <> changed color. The metal parts also become silver, gold, or black, depending on the equipment worn.

It disappears, but it does not appear to be in my item pouch. I am relieved to know that I can use other equipment. It is more flexible than the cloak, or rather inflexible, since it is either there or not there. The effect is unknown. But what are those ? Is it a being that wants to remain sealed, or a being that wants to seal the gods?¡¡Is he some kind of god that will seal you all up or something?¡¡Well, how to get to the voice is a mystery, and we will soon find out. I hope the cloak and the cuirass are not the equipment to seal the gods. Yesterday, after getting into bed in the real world, I realized that the [inclination] was triggered, so I hurried to get back into bed. I left my Black Mistiff, who was lying next to me, in the hands of Reno. Black Mistiff seems to have been injured and overworked for many years, and I think his visible injuries are healed, but he was still limp, so I am a little worried about him. It''s not because he was wrapped up in a bamboo mat with a ...... towel all the time, is it?¡¡I didn''t see him move. I tried to leave him alone, but I might have checked on him a little more often. I send greetings to Ochazuke, Peter, and Kikuhime, who have already logged in, and think about what to do until all the members are here. For the time being, we have decided to produce enough for the trip to Fuso, and to go to the guild to hear what Al has to say. The garden is currently covered with <<<. It seems that the trees must be separated from each other to some extent, otherwise the tree will be unusable. <> grew from the , and has silver branches with pale pink flowers similar to cherry blossoms and no leaves. It is beautiful, but I want a normal cherry tree. Is there any in Fuso?¡¡Let''s look for it. for Liddell. She seems to feel at home with orcs, probably because the original (Alice) used to take naps with them. This is an ordinary oak I picked up at random on Alice''s island, and I made it into a "sacred tree". There is a in the middle, and one in the middle of each of the 4 parts of the garden, so I would like to plant another tree in the garden. The garden will spread out from the center, so it will probably not be a problem if the tree gets bigger. I wonder what to do with the peaches: ....... I have also planted a sugar cane named <, so I guess I can call the whole area a field. Other berries, loquat, and other things I''ve saved are growing unchecked. It seems that they can be harvested regardless of the season. I will replant them later when I have decided the direction of the garden. I could not plant <>, <> and <>, but I could plant <> under the branches of <>. These were obtained during an adventure through the forest at the beginning of the game. The <> is actually a grass with a single fruit, although it is described as a fruit. There were also <> of different colors, but unfortunately I was not able to collect the whole root. When I collected them, I found only the smooth fruit part in a pouch and it became a material. --It seems that it is not a species. Only summoned animals and pets are allowed in the garden to prevent accidents. They are not affected by the effect of [Tilt]. However, the warning says that other people''s summoned beasts and pets are rarely affected. What should I do, if White gets affected by Kuzunoha''s [inclination] and turns on me? I can''t bear to attack him, so I guess I won''t stop mooching on him even if he cries. Oops, it''s late at night in this world, let''s visit Al first. I wonder if the Adventurer''s Guild is crowded with gentiles (players) who have logged in. When I enter the guild, there are as many people as I expected. The cause of the crowd is the fan club of the receptionist, but I wonder when these people are adventuring. I nod to Emel, who notices me, and go up the stairs. The sweets (tokutei-todoke) are working and I get a smile!¡¡Envy me, little girls!¡¡...... something different. If you want to be in a relationship, you fan club members should go to the arena and change your gender. I mean, there were a good number of male characters in the beginning, but now there are fewer or more little girls? "Hello." "Hi, hello." "The results of the Sea Serpent have proven that it is not susceptible to poison. Thank you." I enter Al''s small room in the reference room and greet him. I sit down across from him and place my gift on the desk where the materials are hidden. There are some for the receptionists, but they will pass them out later even if you don''t tell them. "Do you have any books on career change?" "If you''re looking for a primary career change, do you think the temple would know more about it?¡¡If you want to change jobs in the labyrinth, the Adventurers'' Guild (over here) has materials on the subject. "My skill level is over 50, and I''m not getting any higher." He serves himself a cup of tea and arranges the gifts he has brought. It''s a galette des rois, an almond pie. There is a mouthpiece in the center to release the steam during baking, and a knife is used to make a pattern around the mouthpiece. For some reason, almond pies are supposed to have a pattern, and the opening is removed after baking. And Napoleon pie, with cream that tastes more like milk and strawberries grown from seeds given to me by White. It''s the worst pie I''ve ever had. "......, didn''t you have adventurer rank C?" That''s right. "Most of the time, I don''t get over 50 until I''m close to A rank. ......, so there''s an explanation when I announce my B rank acceptance." "I think the mandatory requests seem to be troublesome when you reach B rank. I''m sure there are many adventurers who think so." "Even if it is a mandatory request, it is often a way to see how good the adventurer is or to direct him to a place where he can earn more money. If you stay in an easy place for a long time, low-ranked adventurers will be in trouble. Especially gentiles, they have to have a good relationship with their friends, or should we call it trust?¡¡--Without the guarantee of a guild introduction, a new place may be refused. Is that it, or are we being led to the main story through a forced request? "From B rank, there is a division between production and exploration, and those in production usually have a seat in each production guild, and those who serve in a country or a temple have priority over those in exploration. Their adventurer rank is up to A. There is no compulsory request, but the guild may send a request directly to the organization to which they belong, instead of to the individual. The method of rank advancement is also a little different from the general public." Al takes a sip of his tea and freezes. < is doing a good job. "Ha, I''m afraid to eat the pie. After a few moments of frozen, he sighs and moves his eyes from the tea to the almond pie that has been cut out of the tea. "I don''t know if I''m saying it myself, Napoleon, but the strawberries and whipped cream one is not good." It was a mystery to me whether Napoleon would really be understood in this world. No, it might be a pure name for a pie. "I''ll have some after ......." I think you made the right choice. "To continue, Gentiles start as adventurers because they have no connections. But it is common for residents to come from families that become knights from the start. Some people register with the Adventurers'' Guild after they have a job and affiliation, because it is convenient to work in a different country. Even in that case, the rank is up to A at the strongest because of the difference in affiliation. Unless they give priority to the requests of the Adventurers'' Guild over their affiliation. Galahad''s strength cannot be measured by his adventurer rank. Well, I''ve been slacking on raising my rank too. "So, you, a C rank with over 50 skills, seem to understand that you can''t raise your level without changing jobs, what do you want to know? "Can I change jobs with a tablet and then change jobs further, and what are the advantages and disadvantages of jobs?" "Hmm, I''ll go look for him. Can I have another cup of tea?" "Yeah." "I''m going to tell you about changing jobs, but it''s possible to do it a second time or later if you collect the pieces of the tablet again. However, I hear that the more pieces you collect, the harder it gets to get them. Al returns with three or so books. "Thank you." He offers her a new cup of tea and takes the book. He flips through the book, but the table of contents is small, and there is no information on the gods, such as the egret or the black and white. ....... "The library on the isle has a better selection. You can''t get in there without an introduction. "You can get in the library." "....... You got a referral. Your friendships are a mystery too." Looks like I''m going to have to go to the library on the isle. It''s bad enough that I want to read as many books as there are. I wonder if I should stay here until we leave for Fuso. "Have you been to the Adventurers'' Guild on the Isle?" "No?" I''ve been to Baron and Navai, but I haven''t been to the Guild of the Isle. "You can turn your skills into items there, so if you have skills you don''t need, you can delete them." I had finished with the temple tour and the library, but it seems that the adventurers'' guild I had been going through had a special feature. I should visit at least the main facilities without any trouble. "By the way, I got a skill called [Change Demon] from Guilmouth here, how do I raise it?" "......, that''s the reward for an S rank request." Al looked at me like I was dumbfounded and drank tea.S rank request ......,Did it apply to finding Alice''s island?¡¡It''s a mystery. "If you have a [box garden] and <, capture the low level and release them into the [box garden]. If you don''t have <, you can buy one from tamer guilds. There was no guild until now, but I heard that the number of tamers has increased among the gentiles, and there is now a guild in King''s Landing. < by itself must be very fond of it. "If you don''t have a [box garden], you can use [warding] to temporarily isolate the field and [changing demons]. It would be hard to use both at the same time. Oh, by the way, you can release pets in the box garden. But I''m not confident that I can use up all of them once I have them as an experiment, so I''m aiming for the latter. Unless, of course, Mr. Tamer is selling zombies or something. "Hello, kya! While I was talking with Al, Emel, who seemed to be on a break, came out and activated the [Asha''s teacher for flirtatiousness]. The button hit Al''s forehead. Isn''t this button always aiming at someone''s forehead? Napoleon pie to make up for it. No, I''m sorry, it''s nothing. 179 - - The Change of Employment We return to the general store from the Adventurers'' Guild when it is probably past supper time. I have to rummage around in the middle of the night to produce something to sell while I am on my way to Fuso. When I return to the general store, Lapidus and Noel greet me and hug me, as they always do. I return the greeting and pat them on the head. How long will they let me pet them?¡¡My hair is not dry to the touch like before, but poofy and soft, moist and silky. It was worth it that I quietly changed the shampoo and soap in the bathroom to those recommended by Kikuhime. Aside from Reno, Cal, who uses the bathrooms on the grocery store side, also seemed to have improved his hair quality, though Camilla, who is on the liquor store side, was concerned about how to take care of it. "Reno, how are you doing with the black one?" He also patted Liddell''s head, greeted Cal, Galahad and the others, and called out to Reno. He is awake, but he can''t seem to move yet. He woke up, but he still can''t seem to move as much as he would like. I think it''s more due to fatigue than injury. Would you like to see him?" "Yeah, I''m curious." Leno''s room, almost my first visit!¡¡When I followed Leno into the room, I found it to be a somewhat strange mix of plant and inorganic matter. Terrariums of plants in glass jars of various sizes and a biotope filled with water. They hung not only from the shelves and floors, but also from the walls and ceilings. The only flowers are small water lilies in the biotope, and most of them are just leaves. The contrast between the black soil through the glass bottles and the yellow-green and bright green leaves creates a mysterious space. I peek at a black object curled up in a bed set up in a wooden box. It is a pity that the fur ball is not a fur ball. "Shaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa £¡£¡£¡£¡" I was threatened. "Oh my God, I warmed it in my bosom." I had kept this black mystiff in my bosom because she was having trouble with magic and her body temperature had dropped because the blood she had shed did not come back even after I had restored her to normalcy. It has been a while since he stopped being human, but it seems that Mr. Mysphe also dislikes gentiles in general. He has not yet been allowed to touch any of the Mysphets on the island. I didn''t ask you to! Oh, I forgot for a moment that Mistyf can speak human language, because she looked so menacing and completely animalistic. White is somewhat graceful in anger, but this Mistyph is wild with a wrinkled nose. "Homura is the one who has been asked by Mr. Partin to provide a place for Misty and the others. I''m not saying don''t like her, but please make it work. Reno admonishes. "Speaking of which, what''s your name?" "Hmph!¡¡You don''t get to call yourself a gentile!" "Yeah, I''ll go with black then." "What!¡¡How could you? !" "Is it a quick decision? Normally, you would try to get a little more information out of them. No, I remember that when I was white, I gave my name because I remembered what you said about the Lord and his dominion. "If you don''t want to be black, what about the Black Maru-go, Black Man, ......, or Black Jack?" Black Jack''s real name is Ma Kuro Otoko. "...... black is fine." Black looked away tiredly. Why? "You''ve always had a good sense of naming things." That''s better than giving it a bizarre and tony name! And now, for some reason, Black is in my pocket again. He is happy to eat boiled mullet chicken breast. Are you OK with meat?¡¡I have to wrap him in a towel again because his bristles hurt, but he seems to be comfortable in my bosom even after being wrapped in a towel. He still feels comfortable in my bosom, even though he shrieks when I show my face to him. Well, I am sleeping with <> in my arms to neutralize my golden-biased attribute. < is non-transferable, and I hope you will get back to your fluffy self soon. I made a small amount of rum with <>, so I made rum pudding again. < and sent an e-mail to her. Finally, I was able to fulfill the request. I shared the pudding with the members of the grocery store. This time, I made a br?l¨¦e of rum pudding sprinkled with brown sugar made from the juice of the sugar branches and coarse sugar. When I called out for tea, people rushed to gather around, probably because of the sweet and savory smell in the air. ....... ...... yeah. Adult(Cal),Adult(Reno),Adult(Galahad),Adult(Eagle),Adult(Camilla),Child(Liddell),Dog Ear(Lapis),Dog Ear(Noel),Cat Ear(Verna). Lapis and Noel''s tails are in trouble again, Verna. I prepared them for you in the garden. Have you already eaten them all?¡¡No, did you just see the word pudding and came here instead of going to the garden?¡¡Is it possible that the cat-eared girl (it) is trying to mimic you?¡¡I had many things to say, but I kept my mouth shut and put the br?l¨¦e in front of Verna as well. The tea was Earl Grey. "Now let''s eat!" "No, no, no?" "Homura?¡¡What are you trying to flush out?" It''s funny, isn''t it?" Galahad and the others are getting impatient. They seem pretty relaxed, despite the fact that they look frozen in their sweats. Eagle''s habit is to change his name to "you" when he asks a question. "Plin." A young girl with cat ears who looks satisfied and brings a pudding called "br?l¨¦e" to her mouth. Only the tip of her long tail is wiggling. "Lord, if this is ........." "You must be Verna." A simple answer to Cal''s question. "......Why on earth?" "Because that''s where the pudding is?" Leno''s question is also answered. It is supposed to be an elegant tea time, but - well, Cal and Leno are not so elegant every time - everyone seems to be frozen. "Hmm, it''s fun!" "I don''t know about that, but when I do, I''ll be sure to shove them in your uro regularly." "Thank you. I''m looking forward to it." He happily brings a spoon to his mouth. "Hmm, I''d like something." Verna tilts her head and looks up at me. She may be small, but she still has her hair of nubatama and her skin is still moist and snowy. If you look closely, you can also see her black eyes with a hint of purple in them. "No, I''ve already received many things from you, so you can keep your souvenirs every time, okay?" "No. That''s how gods are." Verna says, one ear twitching, though her expression does not change. "Then I''ll get you a brush that will make any hair feel soft to the touch. Hmm. Okay." I said no and they agreed! "...... I think [Black and White Mage Swordsman] would be a good occupation." Verna disappeared, leaving behind a voice. I have obtained the title [The One Who Wields the Darkness]. I''ve got the . "Oh!" is in my hand!¡¡Two sets, one large and one small!!!!¡¡For white tiger and white? No, no, no? "Homura?¡¡There''s a lot of things wrong with you, okay?" "Since I met Homura, my titles and skills have been increasing at an incredible rate. ......" "I didn''t think it would increase at my age either." "Me too. I thought there would be no more new skills. ......" The adults are looking a bit somber, but why? "Master, Liddell will not be increased, but Liddell will be made more resistant by Master''s attribute value. Liddell is almost completely immune to [Darkness] damage. "Oh, that''s pretty impressive." I wasn''t planning to take her into battle by herself, but I might be able to take her to a place where there are many [dark attribute] enemies. Well, it seems that Lapidus, Noel, and I are at least defeating them around the town. "Lord, Lapis got [Verna''s blessing]." "I got [Verna''s blessing] too." Lapis has [Asha''s Blessing], [Tasya''s Blessing], [Verus'' Blessing], and [Verna''s Blessing], and Noel has [Tasya''s Blessing], [Asha''s Blessing], [Verus'' Blessing], and [Verna''s Blessing]? I patted their heads as they happily reported to me that they were both in the physical and magical professions. "Lapis and Noel, if things continue like this, even though they are not gentiles, it looks like their skills will be full before they change jobs." Ah, come to think of it, residents usually don''t learn the pok-pok-pok skills. They understand that they can change their race, that they can easily get skills, and that their souls fly to the temple when they die, because <> are unstable for this <>. "If you have more than 50 skills with levels, you will not be able to raise your body level, right?¡¡Are you okay?" "Normally, no, even if it''s not normal, it doesn''t increase that much! "Come to think of it, I believe there is a record of a previous gentile who stopped his level after 50 until he reached a higher position. That is the jurisdiction of the Adventurers'' Guild. Maybe we should get a lecture for gentiles too. "Yes, because gentiles who come here are registered with the Adventurers'' Guild." Something about that crowd already makes me nostalgic. "When I was a boy, the skills I acquired by studying hard to become a knight are now available at ....... I have mixed feelings. Eagle sighs, furrowing his brow. "It''s how you use your skills that counts. Skills acquired through experience will always help you in times of need. Cal admonishes Eagle. And so the grooming contest begins. No, a hair combing contest. Mostly I get brushed. Unplanned. Camilla, who has since regained her composure, gives the brush a heated look, and it occurs to me that the small brush is for people. And as usual, the sacred tool is non-transferable. It was either I brush or she brushes me. After brushing Camilla''s hair, I brushed Lapis Noel. While I was enjoying touching her tail legally with the large brush, she brushed my hair with the small brush. I will brush White and White Tiger later. The black one threatened me when I tried to brush her. I can''t hear him shrieking from his bosom. ....... Later I''ll go over and brush them in their sleep, I''m sure their needle-like hair will feel better to the touch. --I''m afraid it will feel better as needles. I quietly change jobs in my room while she is asleep. I follow Verna''s recommendation and become a [black-and-white mage swordsman]. Some knight or some warrior seems to be higher rank, but there must be a reason. I''m sure Verna''s recommendation of a job with a black-and-white name is also a good reason. In fact, there is also a [Holy Mage Swordsman], but it is not possible to become one because the number of skills of a healer is not enough to meet the standard. I use the stone tablet, wondering if this is what I''m supposed to aim for. I used the stone tablet for changing jobs. Your occupation has changed to [Black and White Mage Swordsman]. I have obtained the title [Vocation]. <> has appeared. This information is hereby disclosed. Using the , you can change your main job to a higher position. The can be created by collecting . You can obtain from the 30th level of the labyrinth, or from the 40th level of the labyrinth for all routes. The occupation that appears is chosen based on the skills and titles possessed. Also, please note that after changing jobs, the maximum number of skills will be removed, but unused skills will be forgotten at a higher rate. Skills learned by spending skill points are excluded. Most of what Al told me at the guild was passed on. Sub-jobs can now be changed to higher level jobs at temples and other places. The [chef of the gods] that was on the job change list is a brilliant production job, but I wonder if it''s OK to change jobs without going through the normal higher level jobs. ....... Well, I don''t think so. I checked and it seems that you can only register for the main job. The title [vocation] increases the growth rate of skills in the occupation. I understand that sword and magic skills are more likely to grow, but the part that applies to black and white is a bit of a mystery to me. The result of the appraisal of the title [Wielder of Darkness] is [currently useless], but what does that mean? The title "He who wipes out" that I received when I destroyed the Seedle Sea increased damage by 1.1% of the number of enemies. I don''t like the image of large scale battles, where I can''t move freely because I''m assigned a role to someone I don''t know. And I wondered what would happen to my status, but it did not change that much.

I don''t know how long it will take, so let''s produce a lot. It would be easier to come and go if Fuso had a transfer gate, but we cannot expect the merchants to care about the sea dragons every time they visit Fuso. Even if there is a gate, it may be forbidden for the public to use. It would be bad to wake up Kal and the others upstairs, and it would be a hassle to take care of them, so let''s get a set of production equipment in the [house] as soon as possible. <, but we are making steady progress with the maintenance of the house. The kitchen was already equipped, but it was changed to a fireplace with a masonry oven. <, the induction stove named "magic range" is out of the way. The mixer and other fantasy equipment have been eliminated to give it an old-fashioned look, although it has been rearranged somewhat. It takes a little time to adjust the recipe to your liking, but it''s only for registration and I like the look!¡¡The kitchen is lined with herb knives and cutting boards that would never be used in the real world. Next to the kitchen is a room for meals, an entrance leading to the outer circle of the island, a living room leading to it, a library next to it, and a bedroom. Facing the inner circle where the mystics live, this is a bright living room with a window, a guest room, a bath, etc. There is also space for a staircase so that a second floor can be added. The thick stone walls and floors and the spaces between the walls allow the exhaust heat from the fireplaces in each room to circulate. Trinh recommends to close the fireplaces for cooking during the hot season so that the exhaust air from the fireplaces goes straight to the outside, and to put ice tools in the fireplaces that are not in use. The stone is made of a material that has high heat storage properties, so that it stays warm when warm and cold when cold for a while. I don''t have a mason, so I bought this stuff. I don''t have any [masonry], so I bought this part of the house. I''m going to make some changes, such as adding a hip board, changing the type of window, and so on. I will build a basement in front of the second floor and make it a production room. It''s fun to be able to do whatever I want with the house without worrying about the budget. It''s fun to be able to do whatever I want to [the house] without worrying about the budget. A conversation with Clan, grinning and taking production seriously. Chrysanthemum Princess: Good evening, sir. Leo, I have the flu, so I''ll be on vacation for a while from today. Ochazuke: Bust! Peter: www. Homura: Take care. The influenza virus has been repeatedly chasing after new drugs and new types of viruses. The medicine will bring the fever down soon, but this year''s flu has left me with a cough, so I won''t be able to get over it for a few days. Shin: I''m home!¡¡Leo, they say you have the flu. Homura: Welcome back, I heard so. Peter: okakaoka Chrysanthemum Princess: Welcome back, aren''t you? Check your email after you log out. Leo should have an update. Ochazuke: Here''s the news, the arena bug has been fixed! Peter: www. Shin: What is it? Ochazuke: Players can no longer improve their skills in the arena. Peter: ! ?v! Then it looks like I won''t get any experience. Homura: Was the arena skill improvement a bug? Ochazuke: You don''t want the level to be rampant with intentional losses. Peter: Let''s go to the loose enemy in the labyrinth when the wind favorites (Leo and Homura) are all there. Ochazuke: Is there somewhere you want to go? Chrysanthemum Princess: Oh, I want to go to the dungeon where we can pick up the pieces! Homura: A dungeon to pick up? Peter: The dungeon north of Navai? Kikuhime: That''s right, isn''t it? Ochazuke: Can we make it with these guys? Kikuhime: If you''re lucky, right? Shin: What is it? Peter: . You can choose not to fight enemies, and you must place an item on the altar at each level to clear the dungeon. Shin: Heh. Ochazuke: Sometimes the enemies drop only production materials, not the target items, so if you are a fighter only, you may not be able to proceed to the dungeon. Chrysanthemum Princess: You can''t use item pouches, so be careful. Peter: There''s fishing too, so good luck, Shin! Shin: Hey! "Is it there as soon as you enter?" An altar that sits before encountering the enemy. Three daggers. Peter opens the box placed under the altar and speaks the theme. Inside the box is a subject and a piece of production equipment for blacksmithing with a limit of five uses. If the altar is activated before opening the box, the player can return to the altar. "Is it OK if I do it?¡¡Do you want to do the oatmeal?" "I''ll leave it to you." The blacksmiths are Peter, Ochazuke, Shin, and Leo, who is away. Shin has done little in the way of production. The enemies in the first room are weak, so they split up in groups to eliminate the enemies and hit the mining points. The items in the original item pouch cannot be used, but those obtained in the dungeon can be used. "I got a dagger from the enemy!" Shin came back, fluttering the dagger he had raised. "I got one here, too. "I guess you get a lot." I didn''t get the dagger itself, so I gave Peter the ore I had picked up. "Well, it''s the first time." I''ve got four copper ores. ¡¶I''m getting steel x 4 After receiving the items, Peter produced one dagger and placed three daggers on the altar together with the dropped one, and the door behind the altar opened with the announcement that the items had been acquired. Apparently, the daggers offered to the altar were not given. The extra materials can be taken back to the dungeon, and the dungeon is popular among production workers because they can obtain higher-ranked materials as they advance. It is said that they spend a thrilling time mining and gathering materials without being noticed by the enemy. However, if you fail to make an offering at the altar, you will be thrown out without anything. "The further you go, the more you gamble on opening the box..." Shin looks a little pleased with himself. You really like gambling, don''t you? "I''m stuck with the glasses!¡¡I saw a post that said..." "This place is like the labyrinth, you can mark five layers at a time, and the subjects are random, so be patient and open it until you find a subject that you can make." Peter and Ochazuke are stable in their knowledge. "By the way, the day after tomorrow I''m going to an island called , probably Japanese island, first two people to arrive, who wants to go?" "What kind of strength?" Shin shows interest. "I don''t know.¡¡But I think we''ll go through the northeast or north-northeast area of the isle." "Don''t be absurd. Peter seems to have fought with a monkey (ape) before. The empire seems to be in danger. "I wish you wouldn''t be so reckless." "I''ll have an escort--, no, the two guys who are coming with me will be my escort?" You''re getting more and more reckless, aren''t you! But first of all, you''re not here during the daytime on a weekday! "Hmm, what time?¡¡I''d love to go, but I''d have to work the night shift and stay up all night." Ochazuke, Kikuhime, and Shin have been turned down, but Peter seems to be able to attend. As for the weekday daytime, well, you''ll have to give up on that, since I work all day tomorrow and the day after tomorrow is my day off. "Why don''t we just split up when we get to Huso?¡¡There will be no fighting in the city. We''ll log out and sleep over there. Oh, and you have to be a cavalryman. "I guess that would work?¡¡Copy that." You''ll be my escort. That is the most baffling setup I''ve ever seen! That''s what happened. < when I dug up the sewing materials for Princess Chrysanthemum. It seems to be a general rule to go through all the floors before opening the altar. It might be a good idea to take it easy when you get tired of fighting. Well, it is better to beat the boss, so the dungeon is the labyrinth for the time being. And so the day of departure for Fuso. At Mr. Org''s wholesale shop in the magical isle, I wait with Luba and Peter for the hops that will accompany us to be ready. Before leaving for Fusou, I went to get the staff from Julius, and when I went to check on Ruba, he said he wanted to go see the sword smith in Fusou. "I am < at swords because an old friend of mine from when we were kids preferred warped swords instead of straight blades. The friend has long since passed away, but his mother came from Fuso, and I had heard about Japanese swords and was curious about them. He said. How is it possible to have a Japanese sword for a fuso? The sword in question is currently in the process of being taken to the temple to be sharpened before it is sent to the temple for blessing, so it is currently out of his hands, leaving him with an empty schedule. By the way, when I met the boy Julius, he was as happy as ever to talk about his cane and made a better one than the one I sometimes see in the player''s store. Above all, the handle, the length and the look of the cane are just what I like. The cane is beautiful and not showy for a big jewel. I will take good care of it. < for him, but he seemed not to have enough level of skill, "I will try my best to handle this! and. I''m sorry, from <> I can get branches and planks by [Gathering] even without [Cutting], but the trees that grow around here sometimes give me branches and firewood, and it seems that I need [Cutting] to get high rank ones that would be good for making walking sticks. As an apology, I quietly added black opals and other gems. The wagons are loaded with goods to be sold in Fuso (over there), mainly sugar and glacial sugar. Other goods were already half-loaded before they came to the wholesale shop (here), so I guess they deal with non-food items as well. We can also see what appears to be the adventurer escort that Hop mentioned. We are now traveling to Fuso with wagons and escorts. "This is a very adventurous turn of events. Will there be bandits or pirates on the way? "I won''t say anything disturbing." Dismissed by Peter. --Is this a pattern of unexpected demons? It''s going to be an exciting journey to see what lies ahead. 181 - - On a Peaceful Road While waiting for the shipment of hops, I''m having a business meeting with Rudolph, the chef of the restaurant Christina took me to, through Mr. Org''s mediation. < "I don''t want the hazard pay, so why don''t you do me a favor?" "Excuse me?" Chef Rudolph is getting ready. "Would you give this to Christina?¡¡--Oh, and I''ll give you one too, Mr. Org. You know, the possession-prevention thing. It is a necklace because I feel it is not good to give a ring to a woman, the effect other than [possession prevention] is [skill relaxation]. The effect of "skill relaxation" is really only a temporary relief, because the target of "skill relaxation" is broad. However, it can prevent the kind of effect that works little by little, which makes it look like death from illness, and if you are hit by something powerful, I expect that Conrad, the guard, will play an active role in that little while, which was made possible by [skill relaxation]. This is an added effect of my personal imagination of the pinch of the nobility. The necklace with [Luck] for Mr. Org and Chef Rudolph. "Is this the work of Lengaard, the man who is rumored to be in Fast?" "Rumors: ......" What rumors, what! "I hear that sometimes the royal family of Fagat lines up their men to get their hands on the food." What are you doing, royalty? Get to work! "The story of the tournament is still being told. I hear that accessories and cooking are a hobby of his, and are hard to come by. I''d like to try one myself, but it''s not easy. ....... I see... it''s a wholesale food for that restaurant. No, you know what? I''m at a loss for a response. I''ll leave the accessories to DEX, which has a rating of 10, but it''s not like I can make something of such high rank. If you cheat and replace it with a Garganos design, the added value would be great. Rudolph has promised to give it to Christina if she doesn''t refuse. I haven''t explained anything about [possession prevention], but he has taken measures in the temple of Fast, so we''ll see what happens. "Lenguard. Aside from the general store, we are also negotiating with the commercial guild of Fast for the liquor store. It will be difficult to secure the right quantity, but if we succeed, rare liquors will be regularly distributed in Alsuna. Which rare liquor? I''ve heard that wine and beer are the main drinks here, but I have a feeling that some of them are common. Is that the one they sometimes overcook fire wine for Garganos? "So, when Mr. Org comes to stock up on booze, I''ll take some water from the liquor store with me, okay?" We haven''t decided on the liquor yet. "I''ll tell Fast''s guild when I get back from Huso. In return, please don''t tell them that the water comes from me. The number of secret affairs is increasing, but thinking calmly, the usage rate of <> is quite high, even for dishes made with complete skill dependence (???????). Instead, we can get various kinds of water here and there, but we also use in other productions, and considering the reaction of Chef Rudolph, who contacted us immediately through Mr. Org, there is a hint of trouble in the air. "Well, if he finds out that I have contacts in Lengard, there will be a lot of trouble. Oh, wait. Why not water?¡¡I have a feeling that there is some kind of bad rumor, or a rumour that has been spread all on its own. ....... I received a secret assurance and an invitation to visit Rudolph''s restaurant anytime. When I walked out after the business meeting, the hops had just been loaded and the paperwork was being signed. Peter and Luba, who had been looking around, returned and we met up with them. Mr. Homura, thank you for waiting. Oh, this is from ." Hop''s voice rises an octave as soon as he sees Rudolph next to him. is the name of Rudolph''s store. While they are talking, I introduce myself. I''m Homura, and I asked you to accompany me to Fusou this time. "Peter, my escort." What do you mean "frame"? "I''m Ruba, nice to meet you." Well, it is true that it was supposed to be me and two guards, but it turned out to be a production worker (Ruba) and two combatants. When he asked me to follow him, I told him that we were on a journey that required an A-ranked escort, and Ruba was equipped with a bastard sword, so he didn''t look like a production worker. I think he looks more like a warrior than Peter and I. "I am Amane, Lord Hop''s bodyguard. This is Turmeric and Sakon. Amane is a pretty woman, dressed somewhere between a hakama and a skirt, with her black hair tied loosely around her lower shoulder blades. "Are you from Fuso?" "Yes. You know exactly what I mean." Amane rolls her eyes, and Ukon and Sakon brace themselves. All three of them have black hair, and although their equipment is much closer to ours, it looks like a Japanese bow, and although the sheaths are made of leather like ours, the swords are Japanese. Their names are Ukon, Sakon, Amane ...... Amane?¡¡--And... "Ukon-san, you must be the winner of the technique division of the tournament." Peter says. Oops, that means you have a ring. That''s reassuring ......, but when I think of the ring bearers I know, I don''t think they''re very reliable, myself included, but why not. Gilweitzer is strong, but we''re still around the 30th level of the labyrinth, and Babel and Horus are just (...). "Don''t get in Amane-sama''s way. We''re here to guard Master Hopp, we won''t help you even if you''re in trouble. Sakon with a pompous attitude. He has a fine vertical crease between his eyebrows, but he seems to leave us alone if we don''t get involved with Amane, so it''s okay. "Sakon, you need to change your attitude. I''m sorry, but I need your help to finish the trip smoothly. Ukon takes over. I had thought Ukon was a man, but from the sound of his voice, he seems to be a man dressed as a man. He is about the same height as Peter, which is tall for a woman. "First of all, we are going to Albar. We have permission to ride on the main street, so let''s go out from the wooden fire gate. The wooden fire gate that Hop mentions is the gate halfway between the temple of Tasha and the temple of Asha. The road leading out of the gate leads to Albar. In most of the capital, except for the area around the castle, horses and horses can ride on the main streets only with permission, as long as they do not get in the way of the wagons. It is said that it is because it is not good for the carriage escort to be on foot, and other permits are hard to get. That''s why they call for a white tiger. They''re brushed and swell, swell, swell. They''re well fed for the long trip!¡¡Comfortable ride?¡¡I didn''t raise it because it''s a world of difference compared to the Reno. I thought I would be tandem with Luba, but he is also a cavalryman. He is a drake type with a hard shell, and Luba told me that many miners choose this type because they can handle the slightly angled rocky terrain. "Doesn''t he look a lot firmer than when we first caught him?" "They''re fluffy, fluffy, fluffy. I''ll brush and fluff him up later, too." "I''m afraid I have a somewhat indecent impression of you, so I''ll refrain." "Hiwa ......!¡¡You''re not a good listener!" And so on and so forth with Peter. We were surprised that we left so close to noon, although it was going to be a long trip, but we were told that we would be staying overnight in Arval. The journey to Albar was uneventful, which was not surprising since we were on a road within the boundaries of the city. The weather was fine, and it was hard to be distracted by the white tigers that were rocking along at the speed of the wagons. Come to think of it, I don''t think I''ve had much experience in taking a straight road. ....... Following Al''s advice, I went to the Adventurers'' Guild in Alsuna before the rendezvous. There was a window to itemize unused skills. I thought they would turn them back into skill stones, but they turned out to be gems and ores. It seems that they are converted into materials of the same type as the original skill''s attributes and effects. It''s a waste of my time, and I haven''t grown up much, but I can''t count on Liddel''s skills to be converted if they disappear, so I''m only going to convert them to the same type of materials. And the upper limit is gone after she changed her job. And next door, an experience conversion window. Place your hand on the tablet and pay for experience to turn it into a tablet that grows any skill you want: ....... The number of skills that can be developed on the tablet is not infinite, and blank tablets are ridiculously expensive. I made a tablet of [Change Demon] on the advice of the smiling pretty lady at the reception desk, saying that I had some extra experience. I could make another one, but I couldn''t get the second one. Yes, the second one for the same skill pays more experience and more money. And the second one is also higher depending on the skill level, which is a devilish specification. From the second one, depending on the skill, it may be faster to raise the level normally. For the time being, I have decided not to make the second one. I quietly pulled out my sil from the consignment terminal of the commercial guild that was set up next to the guild. Come to think of it, I heard that the issue for online games is how to recover the in-game currency. Stop economic inflation! While we were riding on the white tiger, I thought I should at least make a serious appearance at the Adventurers'' Guild and gather some information, and then we arrived at Albar. Amane - I think that''s the right kanji - and the others were in charge of escorting us to the front of the carriage, and we were in the back, so we had only a short contact with them. On the way, we were amused by the unexpectedly fast and shaky running of the Luba cavalry. The world is a place of peace! Hop had already arranged accommodation for us in Arval at a large place with a restaurant on the ground floor. It is popular as a restaurant and serves alcohol, but Hop boasted that it closes early to accommodate the guests, so it is crowded unless you slip in before the sun goes down. "Albar''s specialty is grilled meat," he says. "Grilled?" Hop looks over to see a long net set up along the wall just behind the counter, which makes a rattling sound as the meat is placed on it and the fat drips off. The meat is cooked on wood from a hardwood called gera. This wood breaks up into small pieces when it is roasted and emits a fragrant smell of smoke. When the cook throws the wood into the gap between the wall and the netting, the impact causes the fine charcoal that has accumulated underneath to collapse and flow under the netting. The roughness of the impact seems to be necessary for the coals to be evenly distributed. When he fails to do so, he sometimes uses a poker to level the coals. The meat on the net is seasoned only with salt, but when you put it in your mouth, the aroma from the gill wood smokers follows it, and the juices spread. "It''s delicious!" I don''t know what kind of meat it is, but it''s good. I''ll have to get some gills later. But it''s also fun to see the chef grilling the meat with such gusto, so maybe it''s a good idea to come here to eat. "It makes me want to drink more." "Yes, indeed." Peter and Luba looking happy. The smokiness of the meat goes well with the beer. Peter is specialized in small weapons such as knives since he has advanced to [craftsmanship] - maybe even [dark weapons] - but he is learning a lot from Luba about [blacksmithing] and tips on how to set up a blade. I''m out of the loop, but it''s interesting to listen to him. Hop told me about the sights of Albar and other cities in the Isle, as well as stories of minor places he has visited on business. One of these days I would like to travel all over the world. Amane and her friends were not talking much, and Amane and Ukon were just smiling and listening to our conversation. I can''t help but think that the three of them have their own reasons, but I wonder if I''m expecting too much from their peaceful journey and incidents. 182 - - The Fast and the Production Work I thought the wagons would go everywhere, but from Alvar they are cavalry. Hop delivers the wagon and its contents to the transfer store in Albar. The items to be taken to Fuso are in a separate item pouch, and the three guards have been paid to distribute the goods among them. There are no villages beyond this point, and the road leaves the town on the way. The item pouches do not hold as much luggage as the wagons. Basically, the number of items in the pouch is proportional to its size. The higher the rank, the larger the quantity and the higher the durability of the item, but production jobs have been developed for personal items, such as pouches and bags, because they are easy to make. Since few craftsmen are engaged in increasing the loading capacity of wagons, few merchants have expanded the capacity of their wagons. The cavalry of Hop is a flightless bird with thick legs. They are said to have a wide range of adaptability to hot and cold weather, forests and rocky terrain, although they have some difficulty in wetlands and swamps. The three Fuso are quite colorful: the wolf, Amane in silver, Ukon in gold, and Sakon in blue and silver. The wolves'' tails are wonderfully fluffy, and the tails of the white tiger and the black heavenly bear are also moving with their tips. They are sometimes faster when they run, but there is a lot of added value in enjoying the scenery and the fluffiness of their tails. --By the way, the black I brushed last night in my sleep is sulking and won''t talk to me. Cloak appraisal result [If he''s in your pocket, there''s no problem, right?¡¡I get the feeling that this is the case. Hand armor appraisal results [...... mmm] Why do I sometimes get appraisals just by being in sight!¡¡I''m also the one who equips myself with <> when I don''t have to, because it''s kind of fun. Today, I wear no mask, <><><>, which is inconspicuous once I put on the robe to offset the effect of >. It is not clear whether the ring of darkness is lowering the effect or whether the other two pieces of divine equipment are raising the effect. "We are about to turn off the road. There are demons on the way, so please be careful. But first, let''s have a meal. Hop suggests a break. The chances of encountering demons increase as we leave the road and enter the forest, so it is reasonable to take a break before entering the forest. At the same time, the end of Fluffy Heaven is announced. The demons (ail) here are so fast that even a mounted beast can catch up with them, so you have to walk until you get out of their habitat. I''d like to be able to wield a sword even on a mounted beast, but a white tiger is not suited for combat. We give the white tiger some milk ice cream before dismounting and returning it to its pet trinket. The price for riding is opal, which is given at the same time as the call, but I decided to reward him with his favorite food before sending him back. Since Bahamut lives in the trinkets, I had thought that the same would be true for the white tiger, but both the white tiger and the black sky are usually in the clan house. If they do not own a clan house, they are said to live either in their trinkets or in the place where they used to be. It is a blissful sight to see them in the clan house, when Snow White of Kikuhime (a cat) is mixed with them. Leo''s Alfa Romeo (tanuki) is always trying to get into the back of the sofa or the space between the shelves, as if he is very cautious or likes to be in a small space. Garage parking?¡¡The spacious living room seems to have become smaller and smaller. The two tigers are often outside, Shin''s Takeda is outside originally. Ochazuke no Kuroyaki (Drake) is sometimes scared of being groomed by Kuroten. If I''m not careful, Peter''s <> is turned into a dress-up doll by Kikuhime, Leo has brought in more funny objects, and I can freely play with my cavalry...it is the daily life in the Clan House. "How is Peter''s black heaven, his favorite food (lizard)?" "I''m holding off. He likes fried chicken. "Well, if you don''t mind a little garlic, I''ll give you some fried mullet roe. What about Luba''s cavalryman Erdo? Eldo is a drink. Wine." Garlic was okay, so I gave Peter the fried mullet and Ruba the wine. They take shelter between the road and the forest and rest. The three Fusou and Hop started to prepare a bonfire. It seems that time goes by in the item pouch of the residents, and a fire is indispensable for a meal, even if it is a simple one. Since it would be a waste of time to start eating first, I kind of prepare the fire myself. The reason why we are divided into four or three groups is because I feel that the three members of Fusou have a wall against strangers. Hop is their direct employer, so I guess he accepts them, but he seems to be physically distant from the three of us. Regardless, dead cedar leaves and pine cones are good for kindling as they are rich in oil, and if there are any cedar or pine sawdust, I would like to throw them into the storage. It is also a good idea to coat the wood chips with pine resin. I pack them in shells one at a time, because they break up and are troublesome and sticky to handle, and I don''t mind the occasional piece of shell that breaks off from the heat. I place the shells filled with the fire mixture on top of a few stones to allow air to pass through. After the shells have been broken down a little by poking around inside them to make them airtight, they are piled up in a well, and then medium-sized branches are piled on top of them, and so on, in order to increase the size of the pile. The fire is lit at the bottom of the pile. I have also bought fuel like the blocks used by Galahad and his friends, but this is more fun. Thanks to the skill of [Storage], I can do whatever I want instead of using the item pouch, which has a finite amount of storage. Since we started early in the dark today, we opened the food wrapped by the innkeeper around the fire and had a little late breakfast. Two sandwiches with the famous meat and vegetable sandwiches on a soft bucket about 20 centimeters long. We each brought our own drinks, and I served Peter and Luba hot coffee. "It seems to be true that time stands still in the item pouch for the Gentiles. Hop, perhaps seeing the steam rising from the coffee, calls out to us. "Oh, I thought the item pouch on your side cools down hot items." "Yes. The phenomenon of the item pouch is enviable for a peddler such as myself. Says Hopp with a smile. He could have a store in King''s Landing, but he likes to travel all over the continent, Mr. Org said. "Well, I''ve heard stories from other adventurers. ....... That''s very convenient. Ukon also moved toward us. I felt the pain of Amane and Sakon''s eyes on me, but they seemed to ignore it. "Would you like some tea?" The hot water prepared by the Fuso group is not yet boiling. "I''d like some green tea." Slender arms and legs, white skin, vermilion-sweeping eyes. She is a beautiful woman with a mysterious atmosphere combined with her male attire. "That''s after going to Fuso, isn''t it? That''s what I''m going there for." I want good sencha, not fake green tea, I must get a tea tree. Or a tea tree? Hop asked for a cup of coffee, so I handed him a steaming cup and said to Ukon "You''re going a long way for a cup of green tea?" He asks without hiding his amused face. "There is also rice, glutinous rice, wasabi and soba ......." "Sake, too, please." "Sake is more like rice and sake koji?" Peter''s request, I want you to share the koji that makes good sake. I also want safflower oil and seaweed. "Does he like to eat?" "Mm." "Everything Homura cooks is delicious." Luba says over coffee. "Hmm?¡¡Then can I have a cup of coffee?" I was going to take a chance on a tea companion, but instead I got a coffee choice. You little girl!¡¡<, though! "Ukon, can I have a sip first?" Amane came up to me. He beamed and asked Ukon for a cup of coffee. "Shall I make you a new one?" No, I''ve already had my drink. I don''t need a lot. And the look in Sakon''s eyes hurts, but he doesn''t go through with it. After listening to Mr. Org and Chef Rudolph, I made several kinds of dishes without the name of the restaurant, because I thought it would be dangerous if they found out that I was Lengard. I must make sure that I don''t serve anything with Lengard''s name on it by mistake. It''s really good. Amane wraps the cup in her hands and takes a sip or two. "Hey, it''s mine." "It''s really delicious, as expected with the help of Master Org and Master Rudolph. Smile and hop says. "Amane-sama!¡¡I don''t know who you are, and I don''t know what you''re cooking. ......!" Sakon, with a blue streak on his face, gets angry. "Shut up, Sakon! I don''t even know the cooks along the way, I haven''t even talked to them! You worry too much. Ukon brushes him off lightly. Is he being a prude?¡¡I don''t know if it''s okay to be so obvious. No, well, are you taking precautions? "Do you want me to pretend that I don''t know, or do you want me to be considerate?" "I''d like to be treated in a very general, normal way." When I ask Ukon about it, he says he wants "normal. He seems to be aware that we know. Thanks to the coffee, the two halves of the group are now one ......, though Sakon''s furrowed brow has deepened. In the forest. I asked him if we could run, and he refused. It''s rather a difficult trap to walk cautiously with caution, since I had cut down and thrown away Eir at the encounter while running last time. I felt them coming closer and closer!¡¡The first time I went on an escort quest, I was just a companion. The first is Sakon, a little behind him are Amane and Ukon. Hop in between me and Luba. Peter is something of a ranger. Ukon is using a bow smaller than a half-bow, as if it is difficult to handle a bow over two meters long in the forest. Amane is a small, pretty looking woman who seems to have been a fighter, and she punches and kicks Eir as he approaches Ukon." Ha!" He moved around with a short "kiai" sound from time to time. "I thought Japanese bows were not suitable for continuous shooting, but I guess not." The Japanese bow is made to "tsunomimi" at the moment of release, so that the arrow flies straight. The Western-style bow has no obstacle in the center of the string, but the Japanese bow has the bow body at the end of the string, which causes a misalignment. If the arrow is shot without thinking, it will fly in a wrong direction, so the archer must move the bow at the moment of shooting. The bow is naturally rotated by pushing the bow with the base of the thumb. Because of this action, I had thought that this bow is less suitable for continuous shooting than the Western-style bows. I heard that there are many other differences, such as the fact that the bow is made to grip the bottom third of the thumb rather than the center to reduce the recoil when the bow is released. The biggest advantage of the Japanese bow is that it is made of bamboo and is light. The longbow, on the other hand, is shot not directly but in an arch at a distance of 300 to 400 meters and can reach a speed of 200 kilometers per hour when falling, penetrating knights on horseback with its heavy arrows and long, thin arrowheads. ...... In the latter period, the arrows became inferior to those made for the same number. It is said that it is no longer possible to penetrate. Longbows are heavy but have the advantage of distance. But in this world, the only difference between Japanese bows and Western bows is DEX and AGI, while DEX and STR are related to the attack power. Everything is covered by skill! And in games, what impresses me about a weapon other than its strength is whether it has a good shape or whether it looks good when I use it. Ukon''s arrow is dignified and beautiful. "Hmm. I''m good at shooting arrows. It''s great that you can use magic as well for a cook, and you''re so fast with your arrows. "No, I''m not a cook. ......" I was about to say no, when Peter knocked me down and Ail came down. He was gone before he hit me, but it was quite a melee. I tried to extract Eir when I felt his presence, but Hop was between us, and the sword was about to cause an accident, so I''m using magic. The two women in Fusou seem to be able to use recovery, but I noticed that there was no one in magic. It is difficult to find a space for many people to wield swords in the forest, which is like an animal trail. Ail is a fast demon with ape-like appearance. It jumps at you, kicking the ground, and also attacks from tree branches. "Ruba, are you okay?¡¡...... seems fine." "Oh!¡¡With this many people, you only have to worry about one direction." He easily cuts down the ail that jumps at him. What is a production job? ....... I see, I should leave my back to the other guys and worry about the front. No, but when I feel something on my back, my attention goes there. In the dungeons where we went with clan members, it was not so often that enemies came from all directions. In the field, I had experienced enemies coming from the front, back, left, and right, but never so quickly and all at once. Still, with clan members, it was easy to predict how they would move. ....... Peter seemed to be moving from shadow to shadow, mainly taking down the ail above his head, sometimes appearing at the edge of his field of vision, far from where he had appeared. We are usually able to keep up with the speed of the ail and respond to them. He does not seem to be good at being swarmed by a large number of people, but he seems to be good at such melee battles in which enemies are aiming at others. And Ukon is able to kill Eir instantly with an arrow while avoiding Peter. He is indeed the emperor of technique. I must get used to the situation that there are other people in the room! Oh, Sakon was usually strong in the lead. He was a little too busy saying "Amane-sama, Amane-sama" and I just kept him away from my mind, but he was really active. 183 - - The Secret "Well, Eir is a nuisance, isn''t he? When he comes at that speed, I sometimes have a fright when I ask him to escort me. I was relieved this time. I was surprised to see Homura-san using magic, but your guards are also strong. Yes, I was surprised at the strength of Luba, let alone Peter. No, wait a minute, what do they think my profession is? "I am ......." "Hey, you." "Hmm?" I tried to correct him, but Sakon spoke to me. "Is that sword for decoration?" "Sakon-san, Homura-san is a cook. ......" "No, it''s not that. I''ve never been a ...... guard before. I was afraid I might cut someone and couldn''t get out. My reply to Sakon and Hop''s intervention coincided. I knew he was a cook, not a wizard. "Hmph!¡¡You hurt Amane-sama, you''ll get away with it. Come here! Is that the event where newbies get tangled up with the adventurers'' guild? Calling them to the back of the gym. With Hop in a hurry, I follow Sakon. I don''t want to get tangled up with him again on the way, so I decide to go out with him now. I was thinking something like this.... "Be aware of your tanden!¡¡Just take it slow at first, but be precise with the sword!" I was instructed. I have acquired the skill [Momiji Nishiki] by meeting the required status and receiving <>''s instruction. ....... You''re a good man, Sakon. I''m sorry I was so annoyed and thought I''d turn the tables on you. Momiji Nishiki] is a sword/katana skill that damages the enemy and also gives a certain amount of time to allies, including yourself. It heals continuously. The recovery is very small, but it seems to work on an alliance scale. If several people use it, it will heal quite a lot? And one of those <<8 swords>. The name sounds strong, I might not have been able to fight back, let me reflect on that. There are more players who use big swords that can do more damage than those who use swords, but if Japanese swords become available, the number of sword users will increase. The reason why there are so many players who use big swords is because they look impressive and cool, and also because there are many players who share the same roles in a party. I hear that there are more and more twin-sword users who are more interested in speed. "...... sword and sword is different, but the plot is not bad. I''m not sure if you''ve had enough actual combat.¡¡Or you can go to ......." Sakon puts away his sword as he announces the acquisition of skills. He is thinking about something while looking at us. "You said you were afraid of cutting people, didn''t you?¡¡Killing with magic and killing with a sword are the same for them. Separate the two." "No," I was about to continue with the conversation when Clan said, "I''m just afraid that I''m going to cut my friend, but I can cut my enemy. Peter: It may be too late, but until we find out who the trio are, please pretend to be wizards. Homura: Hmm? Peter: At least don''t open it all the way. Ruba agrees. I''ll escort you seriously instead. Homura: Hai! Peter: Ruba seems to have a story to tell. Homura: By the way, Sakon was inadvertently a nice guy. Peter: Awww! It seems that we will be on the lookout for the trio until their identities are revealed. I mean, why are you talking to Luba and not me!¡¡...... Yes, because I was talking to Hop and Ukon. I wonder if they have reached a consensus to be suspicious and wary of Fuso''s trio while pretending to talk about blacksmithing. Could it be that Eir fell down from above? "Mhm, Amane-sama wants to see you." Sakon runs away without paying attention to us who spoke to him. If it weren''t for this: ....... No, you think I haven''t noticed (???????) and you''re watching to see if I take the bait you''ve thrown out? Homura: I''m starting to think this bellyaching is getting tedious. Peter: Wait till you find out who Amane is, because I feel like we''re very much the same. Homura: Peter''s Kind: ...... Are you an assassin? Peter: I hope you are a ninja type. Homura: Yeah, it''s Japanese, so it''s possible. It''s a hassle, but let''s cooperate with Peter in his choice of profession. Finding out who he is may or may not be a flag of acquisition. In any case, I walk after Sakon and return to the others, thinking that I will move mainly with Peter. This is a kind of safe zone. After passing through the ail habitat, the atmosphere of the forest changes to a brighter one, mixed with stones that sometimes show the flat surface of the forest, indicating that it has been touched by human hands. At the center of this area was a water source surrounded by a collapsed stone wall. However, the water overflowing from there, after forming a narrow stream for a while, soaked into the ground and disappeared, not reaching the forest where Eir lives. It must have become subterranean water that surfaced on the surface of the earth again at some point. "Hmmm... I wonder if the carvings on this stone wall were meant to ward off demons and let them pass through the water...?" When Peter brushes away the moss on the stone wall of the water source, an intricate pattern is revealed. "Maybe the stones were special. This water is quite cold. At the moment, when I appraise it, it shows [rotting stone]. The result of the cloak appraisal: "What belongs to the earth will return to the earth. Hand armor appraisal result [......mm] < say this, but I think it was the most honest appraisal result so far. "It looks like the remnants of an old stronghold. Country or temple: ....... There are old legends of a lost temple of God in the area. It may have been a prosperous place in the past. It''s a little worn out and only a small area remains, but it''s good enough for a night''s sleep." The Temple of Verus, yes!¡¡I will give the hint to Peter since he has already been there. It is somewhat cold by the water source, so camp a little further away under the trees. Since we will be spending the night, we will use the same solid fuel and firewood that Galahad and the others used. We put a net on top of the solid fuels to barbecue. Split the shelled prawn in half from the back, remove the guts, season with salt and pepper. Place the shells on the net and grill them, brushing them with a mixture of parsley, garlic, oregano, chili pepper and olive oil. Skewers of mullets with herbs rubbed on them, leeks and mullets with spring onions. Bread, vegetable soup. Beer, please. "Yes, yes." Beer for Peter, whiskey for Luba. "Sounds good, I''ll pay you, and I''ll give you the ingredients, if you can use them, to mix it up." "I''d love to." Ukon and Hop came by. "Me too ......." "Amane-sama!" Naturally, the other two come. "Fine, but can we eat?" The image of a period drama is that they don''t eat meat. Well, I had a feeling that he would come, so I decided to go with chicken. --Chicken is meat, too, but when people think of meat, they think of cows and pigs. "As long as it''s not four-legged, I''m fine." "We ask that you avoid anything with a strong odor." "Amane-sama!" Garlic rejected? Sakon, while preaching, moves the fire made by Fuso''s group and carries the firewood to us. We put out solid fuel and more nets since there are more people in the group. The garlic is removed from the oil for the prawns, and the hinges of the navaigai shells are cut off and placed in the net. Onions are wrapped in foil and dropped into the fire - I asked Ochazuke to make the foil for me. "How long have you and Amane been friends?" "You call Amane-sama ......!" "Yes, we''ve been together since we were very young. Smiling, Amane replies. "I see. ......" "You need to change your attitude!" "That''s enough, Sakon. It seems we have nothing to do with that faction." He stops Sakon, who is about to raise his hands in the air. I guess he meant to say he''s done. But, Ukon! "They know I''m the boss, too." "Hey ......!" Amane and Sakon''s gazes pierced into mine as Ukon''s gaze shifted to me. "No, well, it seems that Ukon is the one who is in control of the action. Amane is poisoning ......, and I thought Sakon didn''t know about it." At first I thought he was just a noisy rabble-rouser, but apparently he is not. The earlier question confirmed that he knew that Ukon was of higher status than him. Amane was too much more careless than Sakon. "Me, because of me? Amane is frozen with a look of great shock on her face. "At first I thought you had switched your name as well, but apparently not?" "Hmm, I''m Ukon. Sakon is my baby brother. "Ukon-sama ......" "I was just a right-hand man until I got home." Ukon tells Sakon, who has changed his attitude, with his eyes downcast. He seems to be a free man, but he seems to have "for a while" at the beginning of his name. I wonder if there is a reason why he has a man''s name. "I''m sorry, but could you stay with <> a little longer?¡¡I just have a few things I want to get off my chest before I go back to Fuso." "I''m sorry to drag you into this, but neither I nor Amane will fall behind the enemy. If the enemy appears, you can take Mr. Hopp and run away as quickly as you can. At that time, if possible, Ukon too. ......" "Sakon, I''m the one who suggested it." The Fuso group seems to have a serious situation. I don''t appreciate political disputes. "I''ve asked Hop to go along with you without asking anything. If you don''t ask, we''ll just be travelers who happen to be together. Ukon says, shifting his gaze from me to Peter and Luba, as if to confirm our agreement. "I want to ask you something in exchange for your company." Unexpectedly, Luba opens his mouth. "What is it?" "Is the political conflict of seven or eighty years ago still going on in Huso?" The North and the West. That was the case when the west family was falsely accused and the legitimate son of the north family was purged. The others are quiet now." Luba looks relieved at Ukon''s words. In the moment before he heard the name of the western family, he imagined a trap of hokke (a kind of open fish), and he wanted to eat a Japanese breakfast. "There is something going on, isn''t there?¡¡I don''t think you''re from Fuso, though." "I apologize for any trouble I may have caused you, but I''ll see what I can do. If it involves the West, I may be able to help you. Sakon offers. Ruba''s cautious attitude toward these three men may have been due to his fear that they might have been dragged down by political disputes in the past. I want to return this to my family. With that, Luba produces a dagger. "...... The three kotobashira are the crests of the three branches of the Nishi family. Have you met Master Hibari? No, his son. He was my friend. "How can you tell just from the crest?" Peter says. "The only member of the West Family whose whereabouts are unknown due to the recent political strife is Lady Hibari. --She is the sister of my grandmother, Tsubame. Sakon pulls a kozuka from his own sword and holds it out. The sheaths of Japanese swords have kogai (hairpin) and kougai (hairpin) attached to them, and it seems that this is also the case with fuso. Oh, no, I remembered an unnecessary line from a historical novel: "The pouch used to cover the hilt of the sword when traveling or in bad weather is sometimes used for something else, so buy a good one". "The original." On the handle of the small handle offered to me were five kotobashira arranged in a circle like flower petals. "Take it." Luba holds out his sword. "No, you give it to my grandmother. Has your son come back yet? "Yes, five years ago, I drove the Green Dragon from my homeland. When I first met him, he came out of the blue to a man''s workshop and forced him to repair a sword. You look like you''ve been doing some early-morning sword fighting. I realized we had known each other for quite a long time. Luba looks nostalgic, perhaps remembering the old days. He still looks more like a swordsman than a blacksmith, though I know his usual devotion to blacksmithing. Sakon pours the sake without saying a word to Luba, and Luba accepts it and drinks it down, looking at the empty bowl and talking about his friend. Apparently, not being able to fight with his friend has long been a regret of Ruba''s. Peter: Was this an event for Luba? Homura: I thought Ruba was training to be a blacksmith in Huso, but it seems it was an event. Peter: I''ve been left behind! Homura: Sorry about that! Peter: By the way, what''s that in your pocket? Homura: Mistyph protected at Mount Paltin Peter: One of the white ones. Homura: Sigh! A black one is peeking out from its bosom, perhaps attracted by the smell of soy sauce drizzled on a Navai clam. Unlike White, Black seems to have been nourished from ordinary food since he was pulled into the material world (this world). Anyway, the dragons that are wooing Paltin should be on the list to be killed when we meet them both. Although he seemed depressed when he talked about the circumstances of his death, Ruba''s subsequent talk about his friend was mainly about cheerful memories of the days when they played fools together. He seems to have gotten over the death of his friend. The night goes by as we listen to Luba''s story, and when we each fall asleep, Peter and I take turns to log out for a rest. Oh, Amane had been doing "my fault ......" all the time, but I just didn''t go through with it, and she was with Ukon the whole time. Eventually, Ukon calmed her down. "Kyah!¡¡Ukon-sama! "Oh, are you peeping at me?" ......In the morning, when I came to wash my face, they were bathing at the water source. No, wait, this is my fault! ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ...increase... Skills [Momiji Nishiki]. ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ 184 - - 182. Stakeholders "Sorry, I just came to wash my face. I didn''t mean anything by it." He spins around and claims his innocence. "I mean, if you''re going to bathe in such close proximity, you should have called out to me!" I also lodge a complaint. Give me a break, please!¡¡It was a feast for the eyes, though! "Hm, if Sakon is not coming, it doesn''t mean I''m in bad shape, does it?" "How can you come in here and not have an agenda!¡¡What do you want?" I need to wash my face. If there is a water source, I''d rather wash my face normally than use a little life magic. A murderous atmosphere swells up behind me as I answer. "Wait, really. ......" KIN!¡¡There was a sound. I turned around to avoid getting stabbed, and what I saw was Peter and Amane in a ninja sword vs. small sword duel. Amane was completely naked. "Hey!¡¡Where did that come from? From the shadows. "d*mn ......!" Amane jumps backward and takes a distance from me, as if she is losing power from her position aimed at me. Naked. "I promised to guard you seriously, even though you''re not who I thought you''d be. ...... release or haste, please." "No, no, no?¡¡It''s just a peeking refusal, remember?¡¡It was an accident and a misunderstanding." Having said that, I don''t want Peter to get hurt, so I apply the haste. No, it would be better to have him use the release of at once, so that neither of us will get hurt. "You!¡¡I can''t believe I''m allowed to serve you, even though I''m inexperienced!" Amane''s attention is completely focused on Peter. You don''t mind being naked?¡¡Are you sure? Out of the shadows came the ability of , which I hadn''t heard much about when I received it. Have you been in the shadows all along?¡¡I thought for a moment that Amane knew the effect of this, but then I realized that she must have been aware of it too, because of her reaction to Amane''s words about serving her. No, I''m more concerned about the nakedness than the effect!¡¡Is Peter through because he is not in the pedophile sensor range? She must have been skinny, with breasts for a petite woman. Rather than swaying, her breasts move in time with the rapid movement of her sword meeting and separating from Peter''s. It seems that neither Peter nor Amane is good at the contest of strength, and they repeatedly strike each other and then move apart. It is a new experience for me to see a man versus man fight, as I have only seen it on the screen of an athletic contest. Not so with ....... "Hey, Ukon, stop!" "It looks like fun, though." Ukon gets out of the water and gets dressed. He puts on his jacket and calls out to Amane. Amane, get dressed. You''ll catch a cold. You''re not wrong, but are you sure you want to cut each other, cut each other? Amane draws his sword at Ukon''s words, and Peter puts his sword away. "......!¡¡Remember that!" "If you win, give me your best wishes." Peter seems to have been shrewdly offering a deal while they were fighting. "I know!¡¡Hey, Homura, put this on. I''ll take this in exchange for your life!¡¡If you protect them all, this immature man wins!" "All right, get dressed!" "Hmm, you can''t protect what you can''t protect if you''re worried about this." Please mind, for God''s sake. I received a beautiful scarlet braid. "Well, can I fight back or run away?" "Of course you can. You have seven days from the time you get to Fuso! "Yes, yes." Peter gives a curt reply to Amane as she puts on her clothes. "Are you sure you want me to join?" If push comes to shove, I''ll just run away to the sky. "I said yes.¡¡It''s a handicap, handicap!" Insurance, insurance. As I tied the braid around my arm, I checked it and received replies from both of them. "So, how did you get in here?" Ukon asks, squinting with amusement. It''s interrogation time, but I''m not sitting on my knees. It seems that his plea of innocence has been heard. "What?" "Did you walk in unknowingly inside the wards?" "Warding ......" "I had set up a [ward] here that only women can recognize the place," he said. Unlike Peter who crossed the boundary through the shadows, how did you get in?" Through the wards: ....... ............. There was... such a title!¡¡You got it just recently! Cloak appraisal result [I have a feeling that this is the ability of the [Transcendent of Heaven and Earth] ...... Hand armor appraisal result [...... Mm] No, wait, that sounds like a useful ability for peeping! "Sorry. I have a title that allows me to pass through wards. ......" Seriously, I crossed the border without noticing the existence of the wards. "Did you get another weird title?" Peter, please don''t call me a weird title! "I can''t believe ......,that you would go beyond the [warding] that Ukon-sama has done." "In fact, we''ve been over it. The wards have not been broken, but are still functioning, and I only feel the discomfort of Peter''s part now that I''ve been in. "Oh no. ......" Ukon made a nice sound and clapped one hand. "I don''t feel strange anymore. Peter looks around. "It''s Ukon, ......, and he''s unbound." As soon as the warding is lifted, Amane goes into a calm mode. "I don''t think it''s a good idea for Homura to go to Fuso like this. Some noblemen''s residences, as well as shrine pavilions, have wards separating the back of the house from the front where guests enter and exit. Even if you have the ability to break them, it''s still polite not to enter. Yes, I didn''t know if there were any wards or not, so I could enter without any malicious intent. "Normally, if you are unaware of the existence of [warding], you don''t have the ability to break it, so it shouldn''t be a problem." My title is annoying ....... Gghh! "How can I ......, I have to have someone follow me when I move?" Luba will go to blacksmith training, Peter will be on a ninja exploration course, and I want to eat and walk freely. I can at least teach you the basics if you like. "Ukon!" "If you can use [warding], you''ll be able to recognize it. Whether or not you can learn to use warding is up to Homura. Thank you for your help. Before Amane, who is in a panic, can stop me, I ask her for a favor. It''s the long-awaited [warding]. £¡£¡£¡£¡ "Amane-sama, you are here. Don''t wander off, Ukon. Eat your breakfast and get going." "Okay." That''s what happened. That''s what happened. How did Ukon get on Homura''s horse? "I''m supposed to teach you how to ward. It would be useful to teach them on the move." Ukon is in front of me on the white tiger. "I''ll teach you the rudiments. It would be a disgrace." I knew you would agree, Mr. Sakon!¡¡It seems to require hand movements to set up the warding, but Ukon in front of me takes my hand and actually moves it, so it''s like I''m hugging him from behind!¡¡I''m in trouble. What annoys me is not only the close contact, but also the tickling of the black color that has lost its space on the belly side and is now circling my back!¡¡I was fine with the belly, but not the back. You can''t mosey around in close proximity, can you?¡¡It''s a struggle to resist tickling. ....... "I don''t think it''s a good idea for men to be in close contact with each other, do you?" "Ukon!" Ukon teases with a smile. It''s something like an archaic smile, but the content is terrible. "Sakon, I think it''s fine. "Amane-sama, ......!" "That way it looks more like me and Sakon." Sakon stopped trying to argue and looked at me. "I''m the one who started it. ......" Ukon is wearing a robe over his conventional attire, and from the outside it appears that only Amane and Sakon are involved with Fuso. Moreover, Ukon sometimes takes my hand, and from a distance it may look as if he is making out with me. Now that they are riding in the valley of the Cardomos Mountains, it seems that they do not have to worry about others hearing their voices, but considering the possibility of being seen from afar, Amane and Sakon may have decided to be together when they bathe together. Incidentally, Sakon has been calling Amane-sama "Amane-sama" for a long time because he is not confident of being able to call her "Amane-sama" in an emergency, and he has decided to call her "Sama-sama" until he enters Fusou. According to him, he is not good at being flexible. He runs through the canyons of the Cardomos Mountains, sometimes fighting off the occasional demon, and sometimes running through the mountain range by passing through a cave that looks like a giant rock chasm. Peter''s projectile is a cloud of difference from my projectile''s damage. ....... Warding] has been added to the skill list. "Oh, there it is." Where are you? Ahead. No, I was going to say "the wards", but then the enemy came out too. Six men in armor on horseback came sliding down from the cliffs on either side, blocking the way. Horses are very dexterous, I thought, but then I remembered that horses are the cavalry of this world. "Hi, nice to meet you. I am Agravain, and you must be the Amane of Fuso.¡¡Can you come with me?" "Where are you going?¡¡I am on my way back to Fuso. I''m afraid I can''t help you. The man in armor, who does not seem to want to make us say no, acts in a surprisingly polite and knightly manner. Knightly?¡¡......Cardomos Mountains,Nine Tails of the Body and Soul in dispute with the Isle. I thought it was a family feud, but it''s about the Nine Tails! Peter: I''m getting a knight of the round table. w The relationship is too mysterious. Homura: I have a very good idea. Can I ask the people involved if I can take them down? Peter: Go ahead. Can we stop pretending to be wizards now?¡¡Ruba seems to have solved the problem, and I got a statement from Amane, so... Homura: Yes, yes. Amane and the knight who calls himself Agravain text Galahad and the others while they are having a bargaining conversation. Peter''s reaction is that Agravain is going to appear in Knights of the Round Table. "I hear that Agravain is one of the most famous knights of the empire. Why is he doing this?" "There is no need to go into detail here." While Peter is talking, Amane and Agravain''s negotiations break down, and the knights draw their swords in unison. Sakon, who has dismounted from his knight, draws his sword. Sakon and Hop look at each other to tell them to run away, but sorry, I''m in the middle of a text message. Homura<> A short text was sent to Galahad, Eagle, Camilla and Cal at once. Each reply came immediately. Kal< Galahad<> Camilla< Eagle<> He seems somewhat flustered. Is Galahad''s reply really addressed to me?¡¡Since they ask me to call them anyway, I use a forced call, which I have never used before. As usual, Eagle seems to know more about my title and other things than I do. Is this right?¡¡This one. I am a bit hesitant about where in Patoka to choose, but I succeed in calling it out. "Stoop £¡£¡£¡£¡¡¡Hurry up and put your swords away, you guys!" "What? A light appeared in front of me as if the space was split during the transition, and Galahad appeared where it disappeared. He seemed to be in a great hurry. He was wearing a tank top and soft cloth pants tied with a string, and he was barefoot. He is barefoot. The people of Fusou are taken aback by this sudden intruder. I''m sorry, I didn''t expect you to show up wearing pajamas, too. Galahad!¡¡Why are you here? The imperial knights are all in a stir, but fortunately, no one is commenting on their outfits. "Just put your sword away! What have you been doing out of the empire? "I ain''t got time to argue with you! You''re out, and I don''t take orders from you! Galahad and the knights are engaged in a heated exchange of words. "Gyahhhh!¡¡Already here: £¡£¡£¡£¡£¡¡¡You''re early!¡¡You used the privilege of Alvar transfer!" Galahad screams when he sees the sky. Galahad looks at the sky and a dot comes closer and closer, and soon he sees it is a man on a sky horse. A knight on a white horse. Wow, fancy, wow. ....... "Kneel down, fool!" Kalu stops in mid-air, his cloak of white and blue lining fluttering in the air, and says, swinging his sword down. As soon as the sword stops in the air, the knights all fall to their knees in one awkward motion. "Jeez!¡¡Don''t get me involved in this, too!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Galahad shouts to the sky. Even Galahad is kneeling, is it some kind of skill that makes imperial knights kneel? The knights kneel and glare at Kalu. The men of Fuso, Peter and Hop are astonished at the turn of events. Peter''s eyes slowly turn toward us. He does his best to avoid their eyes, and says, "I''m out of the loop. I open a window and go through the process of acquiring the warding. I wonder if I shouldn''t pretend to be someone else now. ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ...increase... Skills [Warding ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ 185 - - The Water in the Garden A heavenly horse falls from the sky. From a horse as white as the clouds in midsummer, Kal descends without feeling the weight of his armor. The sword he has drawn is already in its scabbard. He looks good for nothing, even though he used to break eggs with that sword. But stay away from me!¡¡I told you not to come! With a toss of his cloak, Cal kneels before me. Please stop, it hurts me to look around. "Lord, I''m sorry that my former compatriot turned his sword on me." "Jeeziiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!!!!¡¡Untie this thing quickly!" Galahad is shouting angrily. The knights a little further away were also confused and angry. Agravain, too, kneels down and looks at Cal in anger. Agravain, who seems to be relatively free from the neck up, is looking at us, shaking and trembling. ...... What''s that?¡¡Are your bangs out of place?¡¡Let''s pretend we didn''t see ....... After looking around at the knights, he turns his attention back to Cal. "It doesn''t matter. No need to apologize or kneel. If it''s the influence of the tilt, take them to the temple as quickly as you can. He answers, concentrating on his face so that his expression does not change. I saw nothing! "Ha!" With a reply, he once fell on his face, and Kalu stood up, having dealt with his cloak. "Galahad, how long are you playing?¡¡I''m taking Agravain to the temple." "Whose fault is it, old man!¡¡I''m unequipped, so don''t drag me into this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" As soon as Galahad stands up, he changes to his usual equipment with a large sword on his back. If he had been equipped, would he have been able to resist Cal''s skill? "It''s good that you got here before I did, but that doesn''t help the Lord." "We''re not here to fight!¡¡The Eagle kicked me out before I could change my equipment!" Galahad, you''re in for a rude awakening. But, as fellow knights of the Garden of Asha, go for it!¡¡He swears and holds the knights back, and then puts them all together. Oh, I''m getting more and more out of sync. "My Lord, I think those who stopped by the Fast are almost done with the temple. The knights who have escaped from under the influence are helping out, so we have more men. From now on, we are going to expand our area to the main cities of the Isle of Gears. --It is great that we were able to bring Gawain back to his senses after his near miss at Ekaterina''s place earlier." Baron and Fagat will come later. Well, the Isle is next to the Empire, and it is a country in trouble, so I guess they took priority. "The old man has done something spectacular, and if word gets out, they will come to the Isle. Galahad''s addition convinces me that he wasn''t just showing off for nothing. In the meantime, please take Mr. Agravain, whose bangs are getting more and more out of place, away as soon as possible. I''m afraid I''m going to call him Wigwane next time I see him, since I''ve forgotten his name. He looks so young. ....... "Lord, Fuso is a closed country. I thought the empire had no influence on it, but maybe not. Take care." "Call me if you need me, but this time I''ll be armed." "Yeah." It was noisy when I arrived, but when I left, it was just a moment of [transition]. It was worth all the hard work at the casino. Cal''s cavalryman also scratched the ground with his paw, and then disappeared. The amma is cool, but I don''t have the courage to ride it. I wonder if Agravain was jealous of Kal''s hairy head, which is of indeterminate age, when he cast a more hateful glance at Kal than at Galahad. Why didn''t he just shave it off gracefully? ....... With the noisy knights gone, all that remained were the stares from his fellow travelers. "Oh, sorry I kept you waiting. Is the ship on time?" The test is to say as if nothing is wrong under the questioning eyes. "Homura, I can''t do this. I can''t do it, Homura, I can''t do it. Peter smiling. "Galahad is an official of the empire. When you say Galahad in the Empire, you don''t mean the Red Knight, do you?" Ruba, with a distant look in her eyes, mentions Galahad. The title he gives to Galahad''s patka is [Red Warrior], but some of his titles are [Red Knight], come to think of it. "We spent half a year fishing for him!¡¡How dare you snatch it from me out of the blue! Amane pressed me, and all I could do was apologize for that. If Ukon wasn''t around, he would have grabbed her by the chest. "empire,skill to rule knights,tenma,blonde ......" "By the way, [Green Knight] Gawain has black hair." Sakon mumbles to himself, and Ukon says, "I''m not sure I can do this. "[Knight of the Lake] Lancelot ......!" If you only mention hair color, does Gawain also share the same <<<>?¡¡As I was thinking this, Sakon looked at me with a look of incredulity. "What, a lie!¡¡Master Lancelot!¡¡That Lancelot who sent down Ikaruga-sama? Amane, who had been angry, suddenly changed her tone of voice and seemed to be fidgety and restless, worrying about the collar of her dress and stroking her hair. Amane, are you a fan, perhaps? "Is he the only person to have conquered Ikaruga-sama in the arena during his reign?" Wait, Hop. I don''t know if he''s strong or weak based on the Sword Emperor! "I heard you were dead, but you are alive!¡¡I''d love to have a meeting with you!" And Sakon too! "In the meantime, why don''t we move around and talk about it?" Ukon smiles at me from a short distance and says, "I''ll be right back. "...... means that the empire has fallen into the hands of the Nine Tails." "I don''t know who is in charge, the Nine Tails or the Spider." After asking Peter if he could give a spoiler, he told everyone what he knew. The spoilers seemed to be safe, as he had encountered a knight of the empire (with whom he had an event) and the story was only speculation. It is also significant that Peter had already obtained the information on the Spider. "It is generally said that the Spider has the face of a monkey, the body of a raccoon dog, the arms and legs of a tiger, and the tail of a snake. But in truth, it is "an unknown thing that cries with the voice of a manzoku. It is a monster that has no subject and changes its form depending on what it sees. You can be sure that its body and soul are in motion. It doesn''t mean that the troublesome nature of the Spider will disappear, though. It is said that the White White Thrush is another name for the White Thrush. I never thought anything of it when I heard its cry, but it used to sound eerie to me. But I will keep in mind that it is the ever-changing one, the zookeeper. Thank you. As a result, we have more information than we did when we captured those knights. Amane thanked me for what seemed like six months of work. It turned out all right, but I''m sorry for ruining your preparation. "I''ll check when I get back, but I''m sure they are the ones who were involved when Ikaruga-sama returned. By the way, I think I heard from an innkeeper in Fast that "the [emperor] and the [king] retired in droves last year. Babel and the others may have been just a bridge for the retired [emperor]. Otherwise, it doesn''t make sense that I, who am less than level 40, and other gentiles are losing. The Amane family is more outgoing than others and is well known in other countries, including the Isle of Isle of Isle. In fact, Ukon and Sakon are of a higher rank than the others, but it is said that they have been using their fame outside to lure suspicious knights who have become involved with Ikaruga. "It''s tricky how they gradually fall for each other without either themselves or those around them being aware of it." As Peter said while throwing a projectile at the approaching demons, it would be a big problem if we spend our time without noticing small changes. Well, Galahad and the others, if you can''t be bothered to tell them apart, just shove them all into the temple!¡¡But that''s not the spirit. I was worried that the temple might be burdened with a lot of work, like the possession case, but I heard that < or is used in the rituals. ....... According to the rank and amount of <> or <>, the priests need to pray to compensate for it, but <> is a great help!¡¡I heard that they are sprinkling as much as they want.

"Is it so difficult to tell the difference between a person who has fallen victim to the ? --I think we should cast a spell on all those who have returned to Huso in recent years. "Yes, I''m sure Fuso is next in line for the empire. It may be that the body and soul want to return to the main body. Ukon and Amane argue with each other. Ukon has been properly informed that he has mastered [kaijutsu], but he is still in tandem with the white tiger because he can hear what is being said. When Ukon moves, the wind sometimes carries the good smell of incense on his clothes. It is so faint that you may or may not notice it. "By the way, what is the relationship between Homura and Lancelot-dono ......?¡¡I think they called you Lord." "He''s a clerk at the general store." Sakon asked me about my relationship with Cal, so I will answer honestly. In a manner of speaking, although a sword is dedicated to him, my sense is that he is a bouncer in the general store and also a guardian of Lapidus and Noel when I am not at home. Now Liddell is there too. "Clerk ......?" "Clerk." Sakon asks me a puzzled question, but I answer him emphatically. "......" "Gorgeous waitress, isn''t she?" Ukon interjects smilingly. "Well, when I met him, he was injured and couldn''t move as much as he wanted to. And he was using a false name. And I didn''t know there was such a thing as the strongest knight at the time. "Oh, so "Cal"?" Peter says, sounding convinced. "Yes." He says he prefers to be called Cal, and we can''t change his name now. Cal is easier to say than Lancelot. "I didn''t know that the man who is weak with alcohol is that Galahad..." Luba is deeply moved. I don''t think Galahad is weak on alcohol. ......, I hope Luba will compare his drink with Kikuhime''s later. Aside from Kal, there were other well-known knights of the empire who had colors in their titles, and Galahad was one of them. "A man dressed so roughly and barefooted is a famous person? Peter sighs. Good for you, Galahad, they don''t know you''re wearing pajamas. "I think he''s going to sleep in them." I take back what I said before, Amane is sharp. "Ah, I can see the ship now." At Hopp''s words, he looks ahead. Between the cliffs approaching from the left and right, we can see a deep dark blue sea like the Sea of Japan, and we can see the mast of a ship. As we get closer, we see that it is a magnificent sailing ship, and a young man is waving his hand on the land in front of the ship. He said, "This is my clerk, Galian, who I had sent earlier to check on you. I''m not a knight, am I?" Hopp closes one eye. They must have seen our arrival, because all the sails are hoisted at once. The white sails, spread by the wind, stand out against the dark blue sea. The weather is fine and the wind is strong. There were some incidents along the way, but now it''s time for the Fuso. 186 - - The Sea Dragon Azure sky, azure sea, white clouds and white sails. The wind feels good. ...... I lie, the sea wind is sticking to my face. I''m well-prepared for seasickness with my "seasickness tolerance," but I''m not very good at sea breezes. After boarding the ship, we found out that Luba actually likes fishing. He is casting a line on the deck with Sakon. At first, I was chatting with Peter and fighting a battle between [Steal] and [Prevent Stealing] to improve my skills with my initial equipment, but Amane joined the fray. I left the line of fire because I thought it might cause misunderstandings. Even though she is initially equipped with no correction, she is not as slow as she was in the beginning, so I don''t think she looks suspicious, but I don''t think there is any problem in considering her as a member of the opposite s*x. The direct cause of the breakaway was the chaos between Amane and Peter when the two began to mix their bitter attacks. The short distance between the two Genshiras is quite impressive, and I would like to observe it, but I think it would be better to stay away from the danger. "You guys are so close. Amane said, "What''s wrong with you? Peter gave me a bitter look. "Can you catch it?" "Not so good." So I came to check on Ruba, who was hanging a fishing line at the stern of the boat. Luba does not have the [fishing] skill, and he likes to catch ordinary fish without any skill, not fish mixed with demons. So when I looked into the bucket beside him, I saw a couple of familiar horse mackerels. "Now I''m going to use them as bait to catch bigger ones. Wanna give it a try?" Please." "What skills do you have, Homura-dono?" Next to him, Sakon, who seems to have the [fishing] skill, calls out to him, and Ukon is next to him. Since Cal''s arrival, our names Sakon calls us have been changed to Tono. It was not so much the appearance of Cal that changed him, but the fact that he was acting until he lured the knights to us. Inside Sakon''s bucket is a <, basically a horse mackerel with metallic scales. "I don''t have [fishing], and I''ve never been sea fishing before." "So you are with Ukon and Lord Luba." Just as there are fruits that can be caught without ¡¾Gathering¡¿, there are fish that can be caught without ¡¾Fishing¡¿. They are fixed at a rating of 4 and have a low rank, but they are ordinary fish. If you eat them, you can get a small amount of E! E! It may be hard to fight a battle that consumes E! I''m not sure that I won''t get tangled up in the line, so I move a little away from the three of them and try my hand. They say you can catch yellowtails, and sea bass. The horse mackerel that Luba shared with us dives down the river with great vigor. The wind that spreads the sails does not make the waves bigger, and the trip is going well. "Sakon, we caught another one!¡¡Help me!" Ukon''s rod was shaking and he was pleased to hear that a big fish had been hooked. "Ukon, I got one too!" It seems that Sakon has been hit as well. "Here, let me help you." Luba pulls his catch close to him, releases the sea bass into the barrel, and goes to assist Ukon. Yes, I''m the only one who hasn''t caught anything. Everyone else is biting, and Sakon is catching big ones like the master amberjack. ...... Besides, Ukon has never fished before, so he''s a beginner!¡¡is no excuse. No, it''s a live bait, and the horse mackerel on the end of the hook must not taste good, or it must be running away skillfully! "You really don''t hook a homura, do you?" "It doesn''t seem to be moving at all." "Is the horse mackerel (bait) not in good condition?¡¡Shall we try a change?" Ukon, Sakon, and Luba are talking to each other. "I''m beginning to wonder if I have some kind of a bad-boy skill set." We can feel that the horse mackerel is swimming well by the feel of the rod. "The fish seems to be strong, and if we take it easy, we''ll catch it soon." I can''t catch any fish in that thick area at the moment.¡¡Ukon is giggling next to me. "Well, it''s still long ......, hmm?" !¡¡Ukon, inside!¡¡Amane!" "Underwater, a bow is better than a sword." I noticed the reaction of a huge demon. It is coming at us from a distance, and it is accompanied by many other small demons - large enough to be normal demons, but small in contrast. "It doesn''t seem to be active, in case you were wondering." The level of [sense of presence] has been increased, and it is now possible to know whether the enemy is active or not. Not only can you sense the presence of an enemy, but when you bring up the map, active enemies are indicated by red circles and non-active enemies are indicated by yellow circles. Ukon-sama, this way. Peter and Amane arrive, perhaps recognizing Sakon''s voice or by [presence detection], and Amane quickly ties the other end of the rope tied to the mast to Ukon. "Homura, <> please." Peter, on the other hand, smiles and asks for a . "Hey!¡¡If you have something useful like that, just tell us!¡¡You don''t need a rope!" "It takes some getting used to, but it''s a little unstable to step on and step off. Just to make sure. No, thanks. Likewise. I''ll take it! No right and left approach, < on Peter and Amane. Luba is quickly putting away buckets, barrels, and other tumbling tools so that they will not get in the way in case of an emergency. Before he knows it, he has tied himself to a rope attached to the helm of the ship, and one wonders if he is really a blacksmith. "Hey!" "...... celestial?" "How can you use such powerful magic?" I didn''t know what would happen. I opened the wings on my head and floated so that I wouldn''t run out of E! He seemed to think I was human. Considering the value of LUK, I have a feeling that the high INT, which is related to the power of magic, is not mostly due to my race. And I haven''t turned it all the way up yet. Either I''m seen as much lower level and "powerful for my level", or I can''t keep my strength in check.¡¡I should have come in a Lenguard spec. I throw a bite-sized piece of pie stuffing into my mouth, thinking to myself. He gives one to Peter as a gesture of giving it to him. Amane also pops a pill-like substance into her mouth. ......Both of them have developed to the point of using their skills and are now ready to use them. I''m not sure how much I''m going to be able to do with it. I wonder if they will rendezvous in the sky with Ruba, Hop, and Fuso when the time comes.¡¡<, we must form a party. "Are you sure it''s a sea dragon?" Even though the cycle has changed, we''ve never been back in this ocean this quickly before. I noticed that the crew members were hurriedly working to secure the items on the deck to prevent them from being thrown out when the ship shook, and to check the small boats and floats for escape. The captain and Hop come to the stern of the boat, scolding the crew. "It''s no use talking about wishful thinking. From the looks of it and its size, I''m sure it''s a sea dragon. Why in the world would ......" The whole ship is on tenterhooks at the appearance of a sea dragon larger than the ship. "Sea dragons bring with them demons, and when they get angry, they are terrifying. But I hear that they rarely attack. "At that size, even if the sea dragon has no bad intentions, just passing by it will do a lot of damage to the ship, miss. "Sea dragons are a welcome addition to the rich harvest of the sea, but I guess we can''t say that now, can we? Ukon let out a single sigh as the captain answered Amane''s question. "What is your interest in this ship, you are obviously aiming for it. Let''s make up our minds." Sakon''s words make us look toward the rear of the approaching sea dragon. It is so close that we can already see the shadow of what appears to be a sea dragon moving in the sea and the whirlpool flowing behind it. The color of the sea around the sea dragon and the sea it has passed through appears to change as the water temperature seems to drop. Eventually, the voices of the sea dragons are heard. Voice? <> <> I''m the one who inadvertently remembers. "Golden Dragon"?¡¡Have you met that rabble-rouser and do you have a living one aboard?" As I answer his question with a [telepathic], I get the feeling that the captain is looking at us, the adventurers. <> "Oh, thank you." The captain''s voice is overtly relieved. "Can everyone hear the sea dragon''s [telepathy]?" "I can hear you." Amane''s voice was still firm in her reply, and from the looks on everyone''s faces, it seemed that they could all hear her. They seem to have calmed down a little when they realize that the other party does not seem to have any hostile intentions toward them. "Good luck, people concerned!" "I wonder what it is. Is it about the island?" Peter and I are instantly relaxed. Black shadows appear more and more on the calm sea surface, and the sea dragon reveals itself. The surface of the sea could have been shaking violently, but there were only white bubbles around us and no waves. "What are you talking about? "Homura, have you ever met a golden dragon? "Did you get caught up in some sort of dragon fight?" The Fusou group seems to be confused by the appearance of the sea dragon, even though they had just settled down. A beautiful blue. Their faces are slightly similar to those of the blue dragon Narun, but unlike Narun, which looks smooth and round, their bodies are more slender and graceful than those of dragons on the ground. And many fins. Soong, a sea dragon painted in shades of blue, was a surprisingly beautiful creature. Well, aside from Bahamut, I have only seen a few of them when I passed by the dragon island to look for a place for the house, and I have only met three dragons including Soong, so there may be longer ones on the ground as well. < Hey. Great job, man. > <> <<> Following the sea dragon''s words, he threw in a barrel of <>, and two jovial-looking seals appeared and carried the barrel back to the sea dragon. As soon as the seals left the barrel, the sea dragons gushed the surrounding seawater. It was quite a wild and vigorous scene. I am strangely convinced that it is a monster despite its graceful appearance. < A happy sea dragon''s voice can be heard. He disappears into the sea, leaving behind a cheerful voice. "I''m surprised to see you out of the blue," he says. "You don''t have to come out of the blue to be surprised." I muttered to myself as I watched the shadows grow smaller, and Peter shushed me. Sakon is frozen, and Amane is muttering "No, no, no, no," "Why, why, why, why," like a broken gramophone. "Homura, I''m curious about your friendships." Ukon looks out to sea and says in disgust. Luba exhales loudly, picks up the rod he has laid down in a bundle, and tries to lift the hook. As expected, none of the four had the time to tug on the line, and the hook was still in the water. "Mwah ......!" The rod was so stiff that it looked as if it might break, and the fish we finally caught was a <. The fish I finally caught was a bluefin tuna. On my rod, I caught 5 pieces of . ......I am the one who can''t catch any fish at this point in time. 187 - - 185. Fuso. "I can''t catch it!" "It''s amazing that we can''t catch any fish when everyone else is biting so hard. It doesn''t matter how good you are when you''re fishing for them." Sakon looks at me with pity. The rich schools of fish brought by the dragons are still around the boat, so Peter and the rest of the crew are casting their lines, but I am the only one who cannot catch a fish. The people who had been looking at me from afar as if they wanted to ask me something after the dragon''s ruckus are now engrossed in fishing. It must be fun for them when they get a hit in less than a minute after they cast a line. I offered them a barrel of water in exchange for their trouble. The captain was more interested than the merchant, Hop, in the fact that the sea dragon had asked for it. He had once refused the offer, saying that no one would talk about the condition of the passengers on board our ship, but he and the crew seemed to be curious about the contents of the cask. We could have taken one barrel each, but Peter stopped us, telling us to "be more generous". I reminded myself that it is indeed not good to give out too much of something of high rank. Ruba had also asked for some water for the blacksmith''s hardening process, so I would give it to him quietly later. So, after a brief incident with , we resumed fishing, but I was the only one who could not catch any fish at all. "Homura caught your expensive scales, didn''t he? Peter says with a laugh. "That''s not a fish, and it wasn''t on the hook!" The five scales were carefully tied to a fishing line. When I caught them, they were completely tied in a four-way knot as souvenirs, who tied them!¡¡It''s not tied, it''s just a needle on a thread at the end, but still, dexterous ......, you don''t think a seal did it?¡¡They say they are quite expensive and hard to find, but they don''t seem to be "korejanai" at all. However, the scales that look like they have been carved out of clear, pale blue crystals are certainly beautiful in their own right. "I''ll get away from the school of fish, okay?¡¡Why don''t you just give up and catch it with [thread] or some other skill?" "Uh, I will." Using Peter''s advice and the of the string, it is very easy to catch a big fish. Not only fish, but shellfish too!¡¡...... empty. Let''s eat because it''s empty. Skewered and deep-fried orange cod roe wrapped in shiso leaves, red-armored shrimp, silver kipper, golden kelp with baby konbu, and hanpen made by scraping white fish. We also had assorted sashimi and sake. Beer and sake were also served, since we were about to have fuso, which is no longer in stock but for which ingredients are available. Sakon provided the fish. The fish I caught - or rather, caught by me - must have been of high rank before I caught them, but as soon as I gave them to him, they lost their magical element and became ordinary fish. I heard that the fish with magic element and the fish without magic element are mixed, but the high rank fish with magic element will be lost its magic element and become an ordinary fish when caught by those who do not have the relevant skills. And if you don''t have the skill, you will end up with an ordinary one, but the success rate of obtaining the high rank ones with magical elements is said to be low, so gentiles (players) don''t bother to go for them. I don''t know if you can get high ranks even if you catch them with a line if you have the [fishing] skill. After all, it seems to me that you can only catch fish of a certain rank if you improve your [Fishing] skill. "Uuwo, umeme!" "This is a bad idea." "Sake!" We arranged the dishes on a platter so that even the crew could get their hands on something easy to pick up. I am glad to hear that it was well received. "......I probably shouldn''t ask this, but who is Homura really?" "A C-rank adventurer and a grocer?" "So how does he know the Golden Dragon, I have no idea. In answer to Sakon''s question, Ukon joins the conversation. "No, well, I''m acquainted with Paltin because of these guys, right?" He puts his paw on the robe and looks at Kuro, who is gnawing on a skewer offered to him with only his face showing. "What is it?¡¡You got a problem with that?" Black stares at me. He pulls his head out of his pocket and scowls at me over a half-eaten piece of shish-kebab. What do you call this kind of thing?¡¡It''s not tsundere, is it?¡¡Deretsun?¡¡No, dereguished? I''m going to pat the head that''s out for now." Black goes back to nibbling on the skewer with a look of "What, stroking? Thanks to the substandard brush, the hair on his head is now as soft as an outside dog''s. He lets me brush his upper body quietly, but when I try to touch his lower body including his tail and belly, he still shakes his head and gets violent. Well, I have to attack him in his sleep and brush him. "Since you seem to be fluff lovers, maybe Ukon and the others would like you if you rode up to them on a horse and beast, wouldn''t they?" All three of them are cavaliers with magnificent chest hair and tails, and I am sure they would love to play with them. "No, I don''t think they''re so naive that they''d be pampered by such a thing. ......" "Well, don''t pry too much." Ruba pours Sakon a drink as if to help him out. It was a good thing, since I wasn''t sure how much I could tell him about Mistiff. I don''t know about Huso''s men, but I don''t know about the merchant hop. He seems trustworthy, but if he is asked by a long-time client, I might take his word for it. Black is a fur point, and you wouldn''t believe me if I told you it was a mystiff. And so it is with Fuso! Fuso seems to be a good description of Fuso. Legend has it that the name Fuso means either a giant tree or the country where it grows. There is Yutani below and Fuso above Yutani. The place where the ten suns bathe. The nine suns are on the lower branches and the one sun is on the upper branches. And Yutani means hot spring, or is it a hot spring? I was excited to see the island beyond the large red torii gate as we approached. First, we are told that we will land on the island, where we will be told about the skills that will be sealed and about the charms that can be used. The torii gate that stands in the sea is like a crack in the seal, through which people from the outside world can enter and leave the island. The entire country of Fuso is under the seal. It''s time! Peter says, looking toward the torii gate as well. Peter''s unusually excited look leaks out. The ninja I''ve longed for is near. We are pleased to announce that a player has reached Fuso. We will now add a card game function. The card game is a game in which you copy <><> etc. onto blank <> and play against each other. > can be exchanged. It is also possible to make your own cards. After that, you can play against each other in the casino. Please check the menu for more details. I got the title [Card Master]. When you pass through the red torii gate, you will be notified that the card game has been implemented. "Looks like a credit card." "Black card, please." I''ll take the story anyway. Looks like Peter got the same title. "First I have to get a blank card. How far down the road are we talking about? Peter seems to be reading the card''s description. "So the title increases the drop rate of blank cards?" "Yes. Well, it won''t have any effect until we reach the 60th layer." "Yeah." After leaving the torii gate, we arrived at the pier, where we found stone steps in front of us and a shrine-like building surrounded by trees at the end of the steps. At the front of the steps is a basin where one washes one''s hands and rinses one''s mouth. It is probably a shrine, not a shrine like a shrine. I am puzzled if you say that this is a temple. "In the olden days, we used to do the water divestment in the sea." It''s so much easier now. Ukon and Amane argue with each other while putting the ladle back in the water, but I would rather not go into the sea where I can''t see the bottom. What if something happens inside? "......Homura-san''s < is more purifying." Hop is looking at some water in a ladle and talking to himself. We climbed the stone steps and arrived at a large hall of worship. There does not seem to be a main shrine behind the hall of worship, so I wonder if the deity is the island of Fuso itself behind the hall.¡¡I don''t know how to react if there is a phal or something worshipped here. "Welcome to Fuso!" I sound like villager A, but I get excited when a black-haired shrine maiden in a scarlet hakama says it to me. Following the miko''s lead, I separated from Ukon and the others, who were originally from Fuso, and went up to the hall of worship. Ruba is thinking of absorbing blacksmithing skills, but since he is not mainly interested in buying and selling, he is with us. There is no problem if it is just a transaction between individuals, but it is said that the procedures are troublesome if they are going to bring a large amount of Fuso''s goods out of the country or sell them in large quantities to exchange with stores. I thought that this was the parting of the ways, but Ukon said, "See you later," so I guessed that he would wait for me to finish the formalities. After waiting for a while, the sound of drums sounded, and the priest appeared. As soon as the priest took his place, the drumming stopped. Hello, I hear this is your first time in Fuso. I know that there are many things that may be confusing to you, such as customs that are unfamiliar to people from other countries, or things that you may not be able to do that you used to take for granted, but I hope that you will enjoy the country of Fuso. For someone who has made such a grand entrance, he is very friendly. "I didn''t think that the Ukon-sama would bring someone from the outside." It seems to have had an effect on Ukon and the others. The priest, who introduced himself as Hata, told us about the manners in Fuso and explained about the <>. > is available in stores in town, but it can also be obtained at shrines, and this shrine is also selling it to rave reviews. The shrine also offers a service in which the skills of the person in question can be put into the < < . "Can''t I learn to make them myself?" "It''s possible if you train yourself." Oh, let''s go ask at the shrine when we get into the country. In the meantime, I will enjoy looking around Fuso. After that, I had a lot of fun having my skills made and exchanging them with Peter. The price of the blank < < symbol> changes depending on the skill level that can be put into it. Moreover, the act of putting the < is not always a success. "If two people can get so excited about exchanging < < symbols>, the card game is going to be a lot of fun, too. The spirit of completion is burning." "The copying of a demon onto a card can be done with the target''s magic stone, or it can be done quietly by the target himself, right?" "Oh, yeah. I have to go pick up a blank card!" After shopping, we went out from the back of the shrine and saw a road floating in the white sea leading to the main island. Ukon and his friends were waiting for us at the end of the road. ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ...more...

"Now, it''s finally time, Fuso!¡¡You''ve got a week from now, so get ready! "Yes, yes." "Ah, a braid." Amane''s declaration with a sparkling sense of motivation and Peter''s curt reply reminded me of the existence of the bet. I thought about putting this braid in my pants, but then I remembered Amane''s boldness and decided not to do it. I was afraid that she might put her hand in my pants, or even before that, I could not hide the braid in the first place because this pair of pants was systematically not separated from the rest of the body. "Amane is a good person, even if she is a bit silly. It may be useless to think too much about it. It''s easier for the guards to move if you don''t think too much and trust him." For a while, Sakon''s tone of voice became a mixture of "¤Ç¤¹?¤Þ¤¹", but I asked him to change it back, saying that <> was just great and I was just me. Only the accent was not restored, but that can''t be helped. And I''m sorry, I was thinking more of nonsense than thinking deeply. "You''re free to go." Peter, whose eyes met mine, replies with a laugh. We walk along the white sand road, listening to the sound of the waves gently lapping against the shore. This road disappears into the waves at night, and depending on the time of year, there are periods of time when it does not appear. Except for those who have a flying beast. And with the presence of the sea dragons, access to Fuso is very limited. "I hear that Master Lancelot''s cavalry came from the !¡¡The continent of Norguelles!¡¡I''m sure there must have been some kind of romance with the tender elves." Amane, with her sparkling imagination, is not the image of a ninja. No, wait, you''re a stalker! "Hey, you must have thought of something rude!" "No?" I''ve got a hunch. Watch out, watch out. Sakon is right. Let''s not think about anything else. But the reason why they don''t want to get into the details of their relationship with Cal is because they don''t want to get into the details of their own relationship with Ukon. "Ukon-sama, why is the sea blue?" Amane stopped acting and became interested in everything like a child. No, she was talking to Ukon about this and that even during the performance, though she was not very discreet. "It''s probably because it''s reflecting the sky." I would like to quibble with Ukon''s words and ask him if it is not blue on a bad day, but there is a sea dyed by the setting sun, so I won''t say anything tactless. "There are many spirits of the wind in the sky. Luba looks up at the sky. It was a ...... fantasy. It was a trap that I accidentally thought that the wavelength of the blue light was... Too tactless, my thoughts!¡¡When the ice melts, it''s not water, it''s spring!¡¡But it''s also important to read the contestant''s intent! "Was your goal to learn the blacksmithing process, Mr. Luba? You would have to be a blacksmith to find a workshop that accepts strangers. I would be happy to talk to you from my family, and I would appreciate it if you would stay with us during this time and tell my grandmother about the condition of your son, Master Hibari." As I was scolding myself with some confusion in my mind, Sakon was talking to Luba. A field smith is a blacksmith who makes kitchen knives, hoes, and other things closely related to daily life. There may be some who are not sword smiths, but they are far from the kind of blacksmiths that Luba would like to work with. Unexpectedly, while Luba is seriously hammering an iron, a shoji (sliding door) opens and he says, "I''m sorry I put a knife on you...! I even imagined a waking up in the house and saying, "I''m so happy to see you. "I wish. ......" Luba looks at me. "I look around and look for food. I''m sure you have an inn, don''t you?" "Yes. Then I''ll write a letter of introduction to an inn I know well." "Thank you." He thanks Sakon for his offer. "I''d like to pay a visit to Ruba before I go back to Fast, first to see where he''s settled." Ruba, a craftsman by nature, would not leave until he was satisfied with his work. He will not always be able to get on the boat at the right time, as he did this time, so I have given him the transition stone. As long as he can get out to sea, Luba should be able to return to Fast on his own. "First, let''s go to Koto. I''ll take you to a good restaurant!¡¡It will be seven days before I''m done eating. But I''ll cut that braid before the seven days are up! "Well, I''ll take my leave." We said goodbye to Hop when we reached the mainland. He first made his main business deal through a shipping agent as soon as he arrived. After that, he plans to walk around until the next ship arrives, looking for anything that could be used as merchandise. "Thanks to you, I made it to Fuso safely. We shake hands and part ways. If we want to meet again, we will see each other again on the isle. At sunset, Fuso is enveloped in darkness and silence. The basic rule of life for the inhabitants remains the same: wake up with the sunrise and rest with the sunset. However, even though it is nighttime in the countries of the Sauroiyel continent, the squares and boulevards of the so called cities are lit up by magical lights. Fuso can only use the skills that affect the outside world through the seals of the entire island, not to mention the skills that are completed within his own body. For this reason, the main source of light in ordinary households is a fire lantern, which is cheaper than a < < symbol>. This is the same kind of lanterns that were used in the Edo period (1603-1867), when a monster cat would lick oil. Well, it is said that fish oil was used, so it was normal for cats to lick the oil. "Even on the continent of Sauroiel, demons were stronger at night, but in Fuso, it was a different story. It''s better to think of it as something completely different. Fuso is dark, Fuso by day and Fuso by night seem to be different worlds. Amane nailed me, so I''ll go out at night and see how it goes after I fight the demons of the day. It would be a disaster if we were sent back to the temple. Amane seemed to be the type of person who restricts my activities by taking care of me too much, which is not my favorite type of person, and in fact, I was secretly terrified, but it didn''t happen. Sakon and I give him some advice, but then he leaves me free to do what I want. "I need to sleep. ......" A day and a half to Koto, with an overnight stop along the way. The inn we entered at nightfall was an unimposing old establishment. It did not have a hot spring, but it had a spacious bathhouse and the food was good. The incident was that Mr. Manto was told that a tenugui is not a pair of pants!¡¡It took a little time to make him understand that the "Hmph!" Go back to sleep." Two people confronting each other in someone''s room. They kick the walls and tatami mats in the air and lightly shake the furnishings, but do not break them. The only sound is the high-pitched metallic clash of blades. The only sound is the high-pitched metallic clash of blades, but it is too loud for those who are trying to sleep. There are three rooms, Ruba and Sakon are in the same room. And now Sakon is supposed to be standing guard in front of Ukon''s room. ....... I guess it won''t be a problem if I log out. Peter probably thinks so too, which is why he is doing it. Amane rarely makes his moves in the daytime. He puts Ukon before the bet with Peter. Even if he does make a move, it seems to be to amuse Ukon by showing him how to play (?????) with him rather than to be serious. Well, the night is the last straw. I mean, how many levels is Peter at now?¡¡Is it skill rather than level?¡¡Although Leo is not as fast as Peter in running straight in a wide space, I feel that Peter is superior to Leo in moving in a narrow space, who seems to be close to specializing in speed. He was fighting with Amane in the boat and did not seem to be bothered by Ail. I also think that Peter is the one who assassinated the leader of the child kidnappers. I wonder how far the assassin''s quest has progressed. Oh, by the way, I left my assassination request unanswered. I''ll have to go and destroy it later. I haven''t reached the level of requests that would incur a penalty yet, but it would be unwise to neglect them as a matter of courtesy. I also check the requests of the Adventurers'' Guild that I have not yet received. Ah, there is a delivery of <>, how long have I neglected it? Sighing at my own laziness, I stroke the black. "Don''t stop! I pull out Black from my pocket, change into my night clothes, and pull him into the futon. How is it that sleeping with her is OK, but petting her is not? As usual, he resists when I try to brush him, so I''m going to attack him in his sleep later. I would like to try the idea of brushing while praising her. The season of Fuso is about to change to winter. Fagat is always in summer all the year round, and it rarely snows in both Zias and Isle. On the other hand, Fuso is a country with four distinct seasons with snow. The dishes served at this inn also remind me of autumn and winter: konnyaku, tofu, and eggplant with miso dengaku, simmered sea bream, matsutake mushroom soup, maitake mushroom rice, assorted sashimi, and pickles. No, that''s it. In other countries, the main course is meat!¡¡The seasonal feeling is expressed in the types of fruit, or the stew because it''s cold!¡¡Or is it just that it is not so clear-cut?¡¡When the meat gets fat, it''s winter. Fuso sansho, Fuso wasabi, Fuso soybeans. With Fuso at the beginning of their names, the ingredients in this country are all of high rank. I want to get some foodstuffs, fight new enemies, and soak in a hot spring. "Hey, are you going to sleep under these circumstances? Black is saying something, but I''ve already hit the logout button. It''s too late to cancel now, so I''ll ask him when I wake up. I wonder when Peter is going to log out?¡¡When Amane takes over escorting Sakon?¡¡I''m thinking, "Take a break before the forced logout comes," but I''m still in a daze. I am looking forward to tomorrow. 191 - - 189. Fuso no Yagi. When I wake up at the inn, it is almost midnight because I went to bed early. In the real world, I would never wake up, but in this world, there is no extra sleepiness. Peter was sleeping next to me, and I found a text message he had sent me before he went to bed. Peter: I''m going to take a nap. I''m sleepy as expected. I''ll run and catch up with you tomorrow. Yeah, right. I think I''m going to sleep for three hours.¡¡Ukon and the others are enjoying their journey, moving on foot without cavalry, and stopping at any famous places of interest. They can catch up with us even if they sleep the whole day here. You said you''d stay the night because you''re afraid of coming back from the dead.¡¡That was a lie. You can use the list of partner cards to transfer to any person''s location <>. He realizes that if he dies now, he will be sent back to the Temple of the Isle, but he can return as long as Peter and Ruba are there. They leave the inn and go for a walk off the road. Off the road, but still on the soma-michi. Looking at the map, the road in Fuso is located along the sea, on the edge of the mountain. The mountains are close to the sea. The roads are narrow and minimally maintained when they are far from the towns, probably because of the lack of skills. Instead, there are many unmaintained somma roads here and there that are sometimes used by hunters and people who live on the bounty of the mountains, which are not shown on the map. The night vision was quite accurate, like a black-and-white movie with a hint of color, but in Fuso (here), the moon looks like a bright night. The enemies are certainly stronger than those of Eir, but they are not difficult to deal with due to the fact that they are fully equipped. Cloak appraisal result [I''m serious, I''m serious, I''m serious... Hand armor appraisal results [......mm] ......Well, it doesn''t matter, since his status has been raised irregularly for his level. I saw a red fire fly out of the darkness and I dispelled it, and I saw that it was a bee. It seems that this bee is covered with red fire only when it flies, and its name in the [appraisal] result is also [red bee]. They must have a hive somewhere, and the further I went, the more bees flew toward me. They are fast and small, and if they touch you, you get the [Burning] anomaly, so they are quite troublesome. After dropping five or six red bees, a black monk-shaped thing, like a dark shadow, comes at you with a tin can in one hand. Only its teeth, which peek out from time to time, are white. Only when its teeth are peeking out, you can touch this monster called "Yinboju". In the first encounter, I was damaged by a tin cane that reached my shoulder when I was supposed to be hit by a sword. Since we cannot fight with it, we have no choice but to avoid it. It is quite troublesome to avoid them on the path where tree roots and branches reach out to you. Moreover, the opponent can not only reach the branches but even the trunks of the trees and swing his tin cane at you. With the "carry" feature, the footing is not a problem, but the space to move is limited. It would be more efficient to fight with fists like Shin, or with daggers like Peter. As soon as we get a distance, Yin-bonin opens his mouth and shows his white teeth. He closes the distance at once and cuts off all the branches in his way. Shukuji] was useful only for avoiding the enemy during the fight with Babel, but it is very useful against demons. Some foxes and raccoon dogs attacked the demons, but this shadowy monk was the most troublesome of them all. Ruba''s <>, with its [Zanmoku Growth], is very useful in the field where fine (????) monsters attack us without interruption. The more demons you kill, the more damage you can do. It is not so effective against bosses, however, because it returns to its initial value after a break or when the field is switched. The rank is 65, and thanks to the [equipment rank limit removal] characteristic, I am able to equip myself at my level, but the level of Fuso''s enemies starts at 60, so it''s not as easy as it used to be. The level of the enemy at night will also go up one level. I''m biting a hot dog with chopped onions and pickles on it, and hunting red bees to increase my attack power. Sausages with crispy crusts, soft dog rolls lightly grilled on the surface. Mustard and ketchup. The sausage is tasty, but could be improved, the chopped pieces fall off when you eat while moving. You can hear the sound of joyful laughter, which does not suit the mountainous surroundings. I follow the dark path toward the sound of laughter, and suddenly my vision opens up. In the dry field, blue devil''s fires were floating, glistening in the night dew. In the end, we did not find a hive of red bees, but instead we seemed to have found something. At the center of the demon fires, a woman dressed in a juni-hitoe (twelve-layered robe) dances with a fan in her hand, and two young girls dressed as white clappers dance to the rhythm of the woman''s movements. Two young girls dressed as white clappers dance to the accompaniment of the woman, and demons watch them. The ogres are reddish-bronze in color and have bristly hair on their arms and backs. The two horned demons with skin the color of earth, as if they had been stained with greenish-blue. One-eyed, one-horned. Each holds a large cup and seems to be eating sake. Some of them look almost human, but it seems to be a banquet of demons. If you look closely, you can see a dancing woman with a faint smile on her face and a red mouth spitting fire. I looked at her. "I can smell it, I can smell it, I can smell the sun! The woman stopped dancing and said. "Oh, oh, sure." Who''s peeking? I''ll eat you." "Yes, let''s have a feast." "Shall we eat meat?" "Oh, well, I''ll have the eyeballs." The demons laugh at the woman''s words. Do I smell that bad?¡¡No. Does the sun smell good? "Hey, you." A male demon, who is almost as human as the woman, calls out to her. It''s me, I think. "Sorry to interrupt. I was just passing by." He meekly slips through the trees and says. "What, man?" "I''d rather eat a woman." "I want the flesh of a child." "Wait a minute, men are not so bad if they''re soaked in alcohol." There were many small, half-naked demons who looked like a mixture of beast and man, but there were also a few men dressed in cowries. They look human, but like the women, they breathe fire from their mouths and sometimes change their faces to those of demons with horns. The clothed ones, who look almost human, seem to be in charge of the place. "Shut up!¡¡Shut up!¡¡I''m talking to you!" Among the men dressed like Heian aristocrats, only one large man in a samurai-like costume yells at them. He is the demon who first approached us. He is the only one wearing a sword, and he is not wearing a crown or a crow''s cap like the other men. "Oh, you! Come kill with me!" The man says something boisterous and joyful. "That''s all drunkards do," he says. No, I''m not good at drinking either. "You are a savage man." It''s Shutsugen-doji. He''s the boss of the class. "Oh, you two dance instead of me." A woman laughs, covering her mouth with a fan. Her lips peek out from around the edges, red and upturned. "If the drunkard draws his sword, I will be the one to watch. I will give up my place. "Well, if it''s more interesting than the dance of the autumn leaves, I''ll forgive you." "No, no, no, it''s not as good as the autumn leaves. "But it''s good to have a chance once in a while, isn''t it? "Yeah, it''s good sometimes." The demons admitted that they had to go to the center of the circle. I think Oniyo Momiji is one of the famous ones. ....... I don''t think it was Sugawara Michizane or Emperor Sutoku. ...... No, it wasn''t a demon, but a vengeful spirit. No, demons and vengeful spirits are similar. It seems that Shuten-doji saw the drawn sword I was carrying and wanted to make a match with me. I don''t want a fighting brain. On behalf of Momiji, I and Shuten perform a sword dance in the center of the circle of demons. I was in no mood to refuse, and if I refused, I would have to fight against all of them. Sake-drinkers seem to prefer to fight against the stronger ones. Before the fight, he gave me an E! He was fair enough to let me heal my E! If ...... is weak, it will soon lose interest and won''t give the other ogres a second glance, no matter if they try to bite or tear it apart. He will take the sword of the sake-drinker with the back of his sword and fling it away. A sword so hard that it would spill if not caught at the peak. The black-haired, black-eyed swallower has now become a grotesque figure with flame-red hair and piercing golden eyes. His muscles are heaped up and his arms seem to have swelled to twice their size, and his chest is covered in red patterns. "It''s a pleasure, human!" "Unfortunately, I''m not human now." Well, I was human at first, and of course I am human in the real world, so my senses are human. The drinker''s smile deepens as he steps forward and avoids the side-swipe with ease. Good, good!¡¡I haven''t had this much fun since I fought Ikaruga." The name of the former emperor of swords has been mentioned. He dodges the sword as it is swung at him, and passes through the side of the sake-drinker. The surrounding demons (the gallery) are cheering, but their attention is so focused on the sake-drinker that they are unable to make sense of what is going on. The movements are easier to predict than those of the succubus. No wings, no tricky moves. However, dealing with them is a different story. The speed and weight of the sword that slashes at you. They will read your second and third moves. If you don''t win the battle of reading each other, you will have to receive a heavy blow with your sword. Fortunately, there is a little room enough to receive the blow with the sword, but even with the jump in status, he is losing power and his hands are numb. He can keep up with the speed. The succubus was using teleportation. What did you do about it? How were Peter and Amane fighting? He slides his sword across the floor, and steps toward the drunkard. With his fist gripped by the sword, he releases the force of the sword by pulling it back lightly and slashes at the knee. "Pssst!" They switch places again, and the sake-drinker jumps back. I turned around and lightly avoided the blow, but I too turned around and got into a position to face the drunken man. We switched positions, dodged, and exchanged blows. A wind of sword pressure grazed my face. A foot steps forward, a white blade flashes. My vision widens, and I get the strange sensation that I am looking down on him. The presence and the smell are far, far away, but you can see them clearly. Sounds and vibrations are felt with the skin of the skin, with the whole body. The movement of the opponent''s nerves in front of you, the movement of the flesh of demons far away. I see and grasp without seeing. The mind is calm, yet I feel an indescribable elation. Oh, I''m so hungry! "Sorry, E! I''m out. I gotta eat." It''s not tight and it''s not cool, but if you don''t pull it off here, it''ll be a disaster. 192 - - The Feast of the Devil "Can''t you stand it?" The golden eyes of the drunken man turn black, and his red hair turns black. With a sigh, his large frame shrinks to the point where he can just barely fit within human limits. Yes, I was visibly weakened. "I''m sorry, I''m sorry. I''m sorry. I''m having a problem with my stomach emptying out." No, there may be none, but I wonder if the seal here is for the nine tails or for the leaning country. If it is for the Nine Tails, my [leaning country] will be leaked, and if it is for the leaning country, won''t it exceed the capacity of the seal? I think that if [title] is the target of the seal of [inclination], [title] is the target. I don''t understand why there is a restriction on [skill]. Is the [inclination] of the nine tails usable as a skill?¡¡Is it possible that they have various skills such as "profession [leaning country]"? I have a lot of disturbing skills too, but I can pretend not to see them. "I''ll never get rid of it. I haven''t had that much fun in a long time. Well, that was fun. "It was fun." The demons giggle. "Oh, no wonder! Come on. The drunkard takes me aside. "No, sir. I can walk by myself." Why did you carry me when you told me to come? Even if you are hungry, you can at least follow me. He walks briskly back to his seat in front of his opponent and sets me down beside him. "Here." He handed me a large vermilion cup, which of course contained sake. I look at the banquet snacks with a sidelong glance. I''d like to say that I''m not a drinker, but if I don''t drink this, what comes next is something I don''t know what it is. "It looks good, but don''t drink it. If you eat something at night, you will not be able to go back! A drunkard whispers in a whisper. Does it look good?¡¡The object that was bubbling and bubbling and bubbling and bubbling and bubbling and bubbling and bubbling and bubbling with deep green steam now looks like a fresh peach or a well-cooked plump and swollen baby ayu fish. It seems that the "Eye of Verus" has been activated unknowingly. ...... is usually the opposite, isn''t it? After seeing the delicious-looking state, I was taught to take a second look at it.¡¡Isn''t this one?¡¡As for me, I''m glad I don''t fall for it. I realized that the reason the sake-drinker had moved with me in his arms was to give the other demons no chance to call me, so I accepted the large sake cup and drank it all in one go. Thanks to my [drunkenness tolerance], I don''t mind chugging it or drinking it through a straw, but it seems to burn my throat, perhaps because I''m not used to it. "I''m not a drunkard, though." Just in time to avoid a coughing fit, he returns the empty cup to the drinker. "Hey, hey, hey! It''s the kind of sake that gets even demons drunk. The sake drinker looks at the small amount of sake remaining at the bottom of the cup he has received and mutters, "What kind of a drunkard are you? He fills the empty cup with sake. "It''s tactless, but I have the skill not to get drunk. --I''m sorry, but we''re out of sake. I first thought of hi-shu (fire wine), which would be a strong liquor for an ogre, but then I thought that hi-shu (beer) would not be appropriate for a wide-mouthed sake cup, so I poured rum into the cup. I poured rum, which is a strong flavored dark rum made for sweets and cocktails. Kikuhime became a little more cheerful and licked the rum happily. I poured a large sake cup full of the rum, thinking that the way Kikuhime drank it was probably the right way to drink it. "Oh, it''s a sake from Totsukuni, isn''t it?" he asked. It''s an exotic drink. "Smells different, doesn''t it?" It''s a different color. Which one? He stirs the sake cup with a curious look. "Blast!¡¡Gosh!¡¡Gosh!" "Oh, sorry. I guess I was too strong." I had an image that he could drink strong liquor, but it seems there was a limit to it. "...... No, I''m fine!¡¡That''s a good drink!" A drunkard who was sobbing and yet was unnaturally cheerful. It was made as a joke, so there is only one barrel of it. I''m not sure if I should continue to make it. The rum is made from a <, which is as thick as my thumb, a little reddish in color, and only as big as my shoulder. Unlike the image of sugar cane in the real world, it is much smaller. However, the amount of sugar that can be obtained from them belies their size, so there is plenty of room to make sake. "Oh, it tastes good? "The drinker says it''s good." That drinker... "Is it good?" "I bet it''s good." "Want a drink?¡¡I''ve got something a little easier to drink, okay?" They are tricky demons, but I don''t feel fear or avoidance. Perhaps I should feel them, but the dancing autumn leaves were beautiful and the meeting with the sake-drinker was enjoyable. We set down the barrels of lowered alcohol and the feast begins again. Some of the men in short kimonos were playing music, and small ogres with eyes that stood out like a pair of hands, and other things that made us cringe when we saw them near us, were enjoying the sake as they snatched it from the barrels. I switch from sake to amber tea and watch them. The demons'' interest has shifted from me to sake, and then to their own pleasure. "Oh!¡¡What''s your name? "When I wear my mask, I call myself Lenguard." I''m going to say my name now. He felt as if he could tell the drinker his real name, but he wondered if the demons around him would really be okay with him being asked his name, so he said his name was Rengaard. I am a sake-drinker. It was fun playing with you! "Yeah, me too." I thought he was one of those drunks who beat people up when they get drunk, but it turned out that he sometimes dispelled the hairy little imps who tried to climb up on me or followed me around by my hair. It doesn''t seem to be a good thing for people to be possessed by these demons, who are so thin on the ground. Eventually, the kobolds gave up and stopped approaching. "But, you know, E! but I guess that''s not good enough for them. "Emono?" The sword you''re using, it''s not enough for you, is it? Yes? "No?¡¡I''ve been very helpful, though, haven''t I?" I''m rather aware that I''m wielding an unworthy sword. "Then let me ask you, how many times can you take my sword with that sword?" The sake drinker, who is tipping a large sake cup, asks me. "...... I think I''m going to spill my blade." "Get a better one. You know, something like a moustache cutter." Sake-drinker, that Japanese sword you named, won''t it create a legend of cutting demons and eventually be called Onikirimaru or something like that? "I like this sword. Besides, first I have to raise my level. I can''t equip it with anything of high rank." He waves his hand in denial. < fits well in my hand, and the [Zanmakushi Grown] is a lot of fun!¡¡I like it very much. And it''s just a matter of comparison, the sake-drinker is just stronger. I have never felt insecure about my arm strength, but I have never felt insecure about the swords that Luba has struck. What level are you? "Thirty-nine." "Buho-£¡£¡£¡£¡£¡£¡" The drunkard erupts in a heap. He avoids it by turning his upper body away. You''re dirty, man! Cloak evaluation result [I get the feeling that you''re surprised that I''m not surprised. Hand armor appraisal result [...... mmm] Excuse me, Mr. Cloak? "Hey, hey, hey!" "What is it?" "What the hell!¡¡You''re that thing in 39!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" The trap that startled the demon. "Tactless man." I''m so glad you''re in such a good frame of mind. "If you''re going to be loud, be poetic." The men in their kimonos, who speak in hushed tones, are indistinct in their oozy appearance. Of the humanoid demons, only the sake-drinkers and the maple leaves are clearly visible. "Hoho, it''s no fun to play with men, is it? Wanna play with me?" Before I knew it, Momiji was sitting next to me and leaning on me. The sake-drinker''s loud voice seems to have made her conscious. I can''t make out their faces, but I can see the other demons looking at me. My taste is more intoxicating than sake. White fingers crawl from her cheeks to her neck, and Momiji''s face comes closer. "Momiji, no! That''s mine! "Ugh." The drunkard''s big hand covers his face and pulls him toward him. "If you hold him, we won''t be able to make hand-to-hand combat!" No, I''m wearing pants. I''m the one being held! "You may be a sword-crazed maniac, but you''ve never missed a drink and a woman." Covering his mouth with his sleeve, he laughs as if he were making fun of a drunkard. "I can''t give it to a man who sucks the spirit out of you with his [Bosatsu-jutsu]." Now, I hear disturbing words, but it''s about time you let me go or I''ll choke. And, sake-drinker, if you''re going to restrain me, please take responsibility and do something about the fact that Momiji''s hands are going to end up in worse places than my mouth. I''m at my limit! "I''m choking! He wriggles and removes the drinker''s arm, then takes a deep breath before speaking up. "...... really, really emotionless." "What the hell!" This time, before he could stop her, Momiji took her lips, and she took them. If the other party is going to use [Bouchuu-jutsu], you can take it back, right? "Ah ......" Momiji crumples to my knees, half held in the lap of the sake-drinker. I am supposed to be wearing twelve-layered kimono, but my body is strangely soft in his embrace. "Okay, I won!" "What? The drunkard surprised me, but an eye for an eye is the Hammurabi Code. He used [bouchuu-jutsu] though he didn''t suck the spirit. There is also a section on sucking in the energy, but it is a mystery whether there is energy in the leaves of autumn. It''s a skill I''d like to hide from my close friends, but if they use it, I''m willing to counter. Sake-drinker is frozen with his mouth open. Since he doesn''t move much, I gently put my hand on his mouth to close it. "Why is Momiji the one who''s fallen? The sake drinker, suddenly coming back to his senses, exclaims, "I''m so sorry, I''m sorry, I''m so sorry. "Is it because I also countered with the [Bouchuu-jutsu]?" Thank you for the advance information. "No, I don''t care how much money you have, you''re ...... a maple leaf." "What?" "No, no, no. ......" Can you stop looking at me with a "wow," look on your face and turning away while keeping your eyes down? 193 - - 191. Characters. Thick Fuso mackerel dried overnight. Boiled garland chrysanthemum with soy sauce and oil to prevent it from becoming watery. Since some people do not like garland chrysanthemum, I served another dish, boiled bok choy. A dash of mirin and soy sauce and a pinch of yuzu for the bok choy. The fat from the mackerel meat is still gushing out to the surface, making a small noise. When you put your chopsticks to it, the skin breaks open and steam rises from the white flesh. The plump meat tastes happy as the fat between the meat and skin seeps through. A side dish of boiled garland chrysanthemum to cleanse the palate of the fatty mackerel refreshes the taste buds. Yum! Sake drinkers, who can drink, use sake, not boiled rice, to wash the fat out of their mouths as they eat. The dark rum is too strong to be poured down the drain, but it seems to be his own drink. "My lord, your mouth..." "No, sir. I want Momiji to eat it before it gets cold. I can eat it myself. And please stop gently mixing in the "night stuff". It''s just as bad as the fact that there are edible things in the mix other than what I offer. Let''s sleep together in our world! Momiji leans against me, half on my shoulder, as if to put her body on top of mine. "Speaking of which, what brings you here?" Brewer pulls me in with his arm around my shoulders, and I am peeled off from Momiji. "Sake-drinker! Moments later, Momiji''s frustrated eyes turn red. "I said I won''t do it!¡¡This is mine!¡¡Thirty-nine, 39!¡¡The game is about to get a lot more fun! You and I will have fun in the cushions! And so it begins, demon vs. demon. The demon fire created by the powerful sword of the sake-drinker and the fan of the maple leaf. The battle between different types of high-level demons is a spectacle to behold. The demons are excited by the new entertainment. Is this it? "Don''t fight for me! Or should I say. I won''t say it. On the other hand, the battle between these two ogres is a delight to watch. In the space of this banquet, the demons seem to return to their original state even if they are cut in two, so we can watch with peace of mind. I was surprised to see them return to their original state without any problems the first time - in other words, this is the second time that Shuten and Momiji are killing each other. And by the way, they can use their skills too: ....... I didn''t notice! "You have also heard, Shuten, what brings you here to Fuso, to this banquet of awai (...)?" While I was watching the battle between Shuten and Momiji, a slender man in a black robe approached me and called out. His voice is gentle for an ogre. Is the main purpose of your visit here to look for ingredients?¡¡I already got rice, wasabi, miso, soy sauce ...... and yuzu. Onsen, and hopefully mastering the . Enjoying the nine tails?" I have nothing to hide, except for Ukon and his companions. "...... tail?" "I bet you''re a fine fluffer." "Mofu ......?" I can feel the man''s confusion, so I rephrase. "It''s a fine, fluffy coat, isn''t it?" "...... I''m afraid that''s not where I''m at." "No?¡¡Why don''t you sit down?" Well, it''s not my seat, but the drinker''s. A man sits there without a mattress, just a table with a box on it. "You are very different from the other residents, who are you? "I don''t know myself, but I''m not sure if I''m different because I''m Gentile?" "Gentiles ......, for gentiles, there is a strong sense of the world." Does the sign of the world mean the favor of the gods?¡¡The difference between a resident and a gentile is somewhat sensible. Most of the inhabitants have at least one blessing from the gods from the time they are born. That may be why a gentile (player) who has just started to live without any blessings seems to be alien and not rooted in this world. This feeling of being different is gradually disappearing from the Gentiles. The stronger the Gentiles (players) are, the more it is noticeable. --However, the Gentiles (players) are recognizable by their appearance and behavior, and can also be identified by [appraisal]. What should I call you? "Koume." As soon as the man says his name, the blurred outline becomes clear and a scholarly white face appears. Although the man''s name may be a pseudonym, we can now recognize him as an individual. He pulls aside the sake-drinker''s unfinished meal and serves a new dish. Master Buri''s yellowtail and yellowtail radish. The daikon is so soft that the chopsticks glide through it without resistance, and it absorbs the flavor of the amberjack well. In the center of the room, a sake-drinker is cutting the demon fire of the autumn leaves from one end to the other. The fires that have been slashed and separated shimmer and come together again, and the demon fire produced by the fan shows no sign of decreasing, though it seems to increase. The fire that has increased in number runs toward the sake-drinker with a single swing of Momiji''s fan. "This is also very ......" Red Plum puts a piece of daikon (Japanese radish) in her mouth and lets out a squeal. Unlike fillets, yellowtail ara is rich in fat and moist. It takes a lot of time and effort to remove the blood and scales, and to process the fish so that it does not smell fishy, but it is worth the effort. Another dish is vinegared lotus root, which is crunchy and has just the right amount of sweetness and acidity. The yellowtail radish was intended as a snack for sake, so I did not serve too much of it, but since Beni Ume seemed to be having a cup of tea without sake, I offered her rakugan as a teacomplete. I took a piece of rakugan in my mouth. It was sweet and melted in my mouth in an instant without being rough. I asked Ochazuke, who is a woodworker, to make the mold for the rakugan. I also asked Peter, a blacksmith and a craftsman, to make a mold for a taiyaki, and I watched the battle between the sake-drinker and the autumn leaves, remembering how puzzled I was when a very realistic tai was made. The sake-drinker points his sword at Momiji, even as the demon fire burns his skin. The gold eyes of the sake-drinker as he steps toward her, and the glowing eyes of Momiji as she confronts him. The mouth lifts in the shape of a smile. The battle between demons who have revealed their true nature is even more beautiful. "< After finishing her meal, Red Plum took a breath and slid her hand to the side as if to stroke something, and a small table appeared. "To thank you for the meal. If it is all right with me, I will teach you how to do it. Even as Red Plum was saying this, an inkstone box was brought in by a small demon. The way he opens the box with his beautiful fingers, I vaguely think that the handwriting produced by his fingers must also be beautiful. Well, I haven''t practiced calligraphy since I graduated from the university. I remember that I was inadvertently accepted into the calligraphy club because the professor of my major didn''t have enough members. Red Plum transfers water from a cute little pitcher that fits in her hand to an inkstone and inks it. Just as she had expected, the ink produced a beautiful, flowing inkstroke. "I can only write in places where I can use my skills, such as shrines and this banquet, and I can only use the skills I can use. This can be used by passing the magic power of <, lightning magic equivalent to level 50. Except for the mark written by the person himself or by the formula used, the effect seems to be reduced by about 20% from the original ability of the mark. Red Plum hands me a sign that he has written. Wait a minute, that means that Beniume can use lightning magic above level 50! A sudden joyful murmur went up, and I looked to the center of the room to see that a sake-drinker had just slashed off one of Momiji''s arms. The surrounding demons were cheering wildly. The arm of Momiji flies toward the smirking drinker, and gouges the flesh until the bone is visible. It seems that he aimed at the throat, but the sake-drinker twisted to avoid him, so that he was only hit in the second arm. Momiha''s arm goes back into her sleeve as if nothing had happened. "Come on, try holding the brush." Red Plum gives up his seat and holds a brush in his hand. The battle between the sake-drinker and Momiji is in full swing, but Benihai completely ignores it. "Any language is fine. Red Plum says so, but the sign with written with a brush reminds me of some funny T-shirts from overseas, which makes me laugh. I will follow the lead of Kohmei and write ">". It is the strongest lightning magic I can use now, level 35.¡¡No, before that, I''m about to vomit blood from my own handwriting. "Do you use lightning magic? ......,Your letters are beautiful." Stop juxtaposing me with the example written by Red Plum!¡¡I don''t feel complimented. £¡£¡£¡£¡¡¡I''ll cry!!! "I have heard that Gentiles will be able to learn even this level, whether they can make use of it or not." Red Plum looks at me and confirms it. "Yes, thanks to you, I will probably be able to learn it by the end of the next battle. Thank you. No, thank you. It''s been a long time since I''ve had something to please my taste buds. By the way, have you ever heard of something called the book of Yama? "Is this the book in which King Yama keeps the deceased''s deeds and transgressions during his lifetime?" "No, not that one. ....... It''s also called a hand-printed red seal book. Turning to face himself, he produced on the desk a long piece of paper that folded up and opened with a cover and back cover. The shape of the paper certainly resembled a red seal book. By stamping the handprint of an "yin" object on it, it can be used as a ceremony. The kobolds in the crowd can only make a contract once, but a high-ranking one like us can make contracts with several people. When Kohmei places her hand on the ledger, a handprint appears on the ledger without any ink. The handprint is a slender one for a man, but it shows the handprint of an ogre with sharp claws. "Priority is given to the contractor who is summoning, with the exception that the one who has taken the name can forcibly re-summon the formula that the other is summoning. As you do so, you write a letter under the bill. The written character is not "Koume" (red plum). Red Plum, Thunder, and Tenjin desk... Aren''t you awe-inspiring to be a model?¡¡No, it looks a little renamed. Yes, but...! "Please accept." "Isn''t this a bit much?¡¡We''ve never met before." "I have my advantages. I have no intention of losing at night, but under the yang you can be beaten and have your handprints taken. In that case, you can''t choose your opponent. If you sign a contract, you will have some freedom under the yang. You didn''t try to free Momiji, did you?¡¡He says why he chose me. Well, it''s true that my motto is to let the summoned beasts run free. "You might call them to battle, you know?" "Hmm, I''m an ogre myself." It is okay to call them to battle, apparently. He does not look or act like an ogre at all, but he may like to fight as much as Shuten and Momiji do. "If it''s okay with me..." He receives a from Koume. <>. "Ah, ah, ah, ah!!!!" "He slipped up. £¡£¡£¡£¡" I heard Momiji''s scream and sake-drinker''s yell. Well, do demons want to be in a ceremony?¡¡The image is the opposite. ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ...more... Skills <>. ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ 194 - - The Morning Return "Hmmm... You''re getting carried away without the one who matters the most. You must decide whether you want to be my servant or give him up. Momiji and Shuten look at the frustrated Momiji and Shuten, with Momiji covering his mouth with his scepter. Her mouth, which is hidden from the two men, is smiling thinly. --Are you sure you have a good personality? "Lord Thunder, remember!¡¡I will surely defeat you and take the title of the first section from you!" Momiji gritted her teeth together, her eyes red with anger, and put her hands on the two items of <>. "I''ve never been in a fight with demons before, but I don''t intend to lose in the slightest. Lengard-sama has lightning. My attributes have been strengthened by the contract, and the difference between me and you is even greater. ...... Red Plum, who had been watching Momiji, stopped speaking mid-sentence and shifted her gaze to me. "What is it?" "Excuse me, I didn''t mean to underestimate you. ......" "Ho-ho-ho, how many attributes do you have? You are a bold man. I''m getting stronger too. The difference is the same, Lord Thunder." Momiji is in a better mood than before. "Well, the chickens are about to crow. I''m afraid I must leave. My lady, you may call on me whenever you need a bedchamber partner. Momiji gently touches my chest and then disappears. I noticed that the other demons were also disappearing, one by one, like missing teeth from a comb. "We are the ones in the boundary. The boundary of this island is not a single layer. Our world, which is variously called the world of the shadow, the world of the shadow, and the world of the night, is a place where the boundary is as thin as this "banquet of the mist," and sometimes intersects with our world. It is said that they mix with each other quite often, usually at night or in places where people''s grudges are complicated. It is very ogre-like, if you ask me. It seems that if you eat "things of the night", you will be brought into the ward together with them, or you will get a status abnormality that will cause damage under the yang. Huh?¡¡Is inside the boundary where the nine tails are?¡¡Is eating the food the official route?¡¡No, but I don''t want to eat a green object. "I''m not going to be under the same demon!" I had been down on the idea of strategy for a while when the cries of the drunkard reached my ears. "Isn''t it good?¡¡You don''t have to become a household member. You are just out of your element at night, as is usual in Fuso, and the hours of daylight are poisonous to you. You just can''t even come close to Mr. Lengard. I, as the first paragraph, do not need to be called out, and moreover, I can be by your side day and night. Mr. Koume-san is stirring things up so much that the sake drinker is getting a little bit gnarly, but I wonder if it''s all right. I wonder if he will be all right. I wonder if this is the type of situation I''ve never experienced before. --No, this is the second time I''ve heard this story. "Morning is coming." At the words of the red plum blossoms, I looked at the sky near the horizon through a gap in the trees and saw purple clouds fluttering in the sky. There was already no sign of any other demons. If you will not become my kin, then return to the world of night. The morning sun will burn you no matter how strong you are. "Shut up!¡¡This is mine!¡¡I don''t even work for you! "......This is a problem. I didn''t think you were this stubborn." Red Plum, bewildered and unable to cope, taps his chin lightly with his scepter. The clouds, which had been purple, are now shaded with red, and the sun begins to turn the sky orange. A puff of smoke rises from the drinker''s body and his face contorts. "You seem to be useful to Lengard-sama, so it would be a shame to lose you. Do you want to disappear because of your rivalry with me?" "Shut up and shut up!¡¡You''re just going to have to endure the morning sun!" The amount of bluish smoke is increasing. If you look closely, you can see that the skin where the smoke is coming from is bubbling and bubbling as if it were boiling. It looks like it''s in pain!¡¡What kind of stubbornness is that!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! "Hey, does recovery magic work on demons?" I''d hate to be damaged by the thought of recovering. I''ll accept it as long as it''s [recovery]. The family of sacred magic depends on each individual. It can be poisonous to those who are biased toward the negative. A drunkard would be fine. I''m sorry. ......" Is Red Plum''s apology an apology for causing trouble or an apology for the current situation that endangers sake drinking? Even if he says he''s fine, it didn''t work here!¡¡He takes out all the he bought at the shrine and uses it on the sake-drinker, since it is likely to stop him. Red Plum, who does not seem to be helping the drunkard, stands quietly blocking the morning sun and casting a shadow on the drunkard. Shake-drinkers and Momiji have shadows falling on their own skin, but not on the ground. Now, the red plum blossoms have them. Does it become to have a shadow when it becomes an expression?¡¡I flow magic power into the << symbol> while thinking about things that don''t matter right now. "If you lose your mind, you will be deported to the night world. ......" "Gaaaaaahhhhhh ts." "Don''t be stubborn, go back quickly. You''ll disappear in a bubble." You''re a mermaid princess! "Hey, don''t be reckless. I''ll see you at ......." Skill [Return of the Demon Banquet] has been acquired. I have obtained the title [Lord of the Night of One Hundred Demons]. I am pleased to inform you that for the first time, a player has joined the "Oni no Banquet". Oh, yeah. Bad timing. It seems that the ahay (...) has completely disappeared. < and takes out a recovery potion. Oh, no... "Ha-ha-ha!¡¡It hurts a little, but as long as I stay in recovery, I''m good!" As the sun rises, the drunkard declares victory. He''s still going on about the pouting! "There''s a big one!¡¡What are you talking about when you let Lengard-sama run out of his <>!" Red plum hitting a sake-drinker''s head with a scepter. The scepter, a spatula-like object made of fine wood, makes quite a nice sound. "I''ll return the blow with my body! "You''re bothering me!" "What!¡¡You''re the one who started it all ......." "Those who undermine themselves put those they serve in danger!" I''ve endured it all, so why don''t you? "What are you talking about, after all the trouble you''ve caused Mr. Lengard!" Two demons arguing. They''re good friends, aren''t they? Give me your book, sake-drinker! I told you, I don''t want to be under him! "Give me your Yama''s book." "What?¡¡I''m not going to touch the second book anyway, am I?" With a suspicious look on his face, the drunkard holds out the book. The cover of the book is black with clouds and white plum blossoms, while the cover of Sakutan''s book is red with black flames and gourds. As soon as he receives the book, his skin heals and the smoke stops. "Why ......?" "How did you do that? "In a thousand and several hundred years, I have never heard of anything like this." "You can only have one copy of Enma''s book in your whole life.¡¡There is only one book of Yama''s book, and even demons can only give it to you." The two of them were somewhat stunned as they argued with each other. "You gave it to a girl once, didn''t you?" "That was hundreds of years ago!¡¡She''s dead, and the ledger is back at the same time!¡¡You can''t serve them unless they''re back!" "And refrain from womanizing, or you''ll be in trouble with Lengard someday. How many children do you have? "No, I ain''t!¡¡Where is the woman who can withstand the demon''s sperm and conceive!¡¡--Well, maybe she''ll have some grandchildren on the continent she''s back from. ...... is not that!¡¡How did you do that? Red plum and sake drinking are actually a good match? "I''m not going to tell you who worried me." When I say this casually, the drunkard shuts up. Red Plum smacks him on the head with his scepter. The effect of the title "Master of Night Parade of One Hundred Demons" is that he can hold two copies of . I take back what I said about the bad timing. The timing could not be better. The long-awaited [Return of the Demon Banquet] is a new skill that reduces the E! The long-awaited reduction of E! It''s a banquet that you can''t eat and drink even if you''re hungry, or something like that. "Well, it''s dawn and I''m going back to the inn. I''ll be scolded if I don''t leave before everyone wakes up. Especially since Amane has nailed me not to go out at night, I want to leave before she finds out. "I''m going back, I''m tired. I''m tired. I don''t think it''ll do me any good if I follow you now. He holds up his hand and looks dazzled by the morning sun. The rising sun is not so dazzling to my senses, but I guess it is too bright for night dwellers. It seems that I am not as strong under the sun as I thought. If I had done what the drunkard did, I would have disappeared completely. Red Plum is making a difficult face. "Kekekeke. I''m strong! "It''s a matter of orientation. I have no intention of losing to you at night. Master Lengard, when you use us, you may call on the drunkard by day and me by night." I''m strong at night! "Even though we are the demons of the first section, we can only stay here for half a day. And if they are not in our world for that amount of time, they will be weakened. I know that demons are stronger at night, as is their nature. Red Plum looked at the drunkard with a look that said, "What''s the matter with you? Then I will leave you for today. "Call me anytime!" "Yes." I answered, but I was so absorbed in my own battle that I forgot about the summoning system. "Yeah. The demons from the second paragraph onward can come here freely during the night, though their hours will be shorter than ours. Just to be safe, I''ll notify Lengard-sama not to come by your side unnecessarily without being summoned. But I expect that Momiji will come to your side at the first opportunity. Even if you have no use for me, you will sleep better if you summon me at night. Boom!¡¡Red Plum leaves one last disturbing note of advice, and then disappears a beat behind the sake-drinker. And with Amane in the background, where''s my good night''s sleep in Fuso! As it was getting light around me, I cheated - no, I used <> as an experiment to see if it would really work. I go back to the room where Peter is sleeping. "Ouch!" As soon as I got back, the black bit me. Please stop biting me silently. Where did you go without me? "Black, I''m still sleeping next to you." I was going to return to the dead, so I left Black under the covers to avoid getting caught in the middle. By the way, by "next door" I do not mean Peter who was sleeping next to me, but Ruba and the others in the next room. "Shut up!¡¡How dare you leave while I''m sleeping!" The black man''s voice drops in anger. He changes from his Lenguard gear to his daytime Homura gear and reaches out to the shrieking Black. "I was going to die and come back via the temple. We didn''t have a contract with him, and he''d probably die if we got him involved. "Mmm....... Shut up!¡¡You''re not gonna get away with this!¡¡You left without telling me!" The black one, who lets me stroke his cheeks meekly despite his many threats. The point at which he is angry also seems to be off ......, is this a case of him being deleterious while pretending to be mad? "Okay, okay, I''ll tell you next time." "Absolutely! With these words, the black man shrinks back and enters the bosom of his robe. The tip of his tail is still sticking out, but is it in the right position? < in his pocket, his tail also retracts. I don''t think I can brush the black today. ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ...increase...

No abnormalities on the road When I looked at in the brightly-lit room, I found the handprints of kobolds on the reverse side of the face where the handprints of red plum and red leaves were.¡¡It was a refreshing morning. It''s quite a horror story, good morning. It seems that the nameless demons are not even grouped one by one but are randomly placed on the backside of the house. Except for Koume, I thought there were only handprints and no signatures, but there were names on them. It seems that the act of "writing" is not required for the signatures of oni. Fortunately, Amane does not know that I have left the house, and she says, "I have heard about the sleeping Gentiles, but I guess their presence is fading away. It is true that Peter, who is logged out, does not appear on the map, and it is strange, if not absent. I was simply not in my room. Breakfast at the inn was simple: rice, miso soup, konnyaku (konnyaku is a Japanese sweet made from konjac), boiled rice, grilled salmon, three kinds of pickles, and nori (dried laver). Hot green tea. This is a very familiar menu, but it is served on a Hako-Ashi Zen (a table with a foot in a box). At first, the cushions are placed on the floor, so you may think, "What?¡¡Zabuton for a samurai?¡¡It seems that the world view is not of the "Are you stupid? In the Edo period, samurai did not lay down cushions. ....... Many people who did not have hemorrhoids also reported their hemorrhoids, because they were allowed to ride on palanquins in the Edo Castle if they reported their hemorrhoids. I heard that Kin-san of Toyama also reported his hemorrhoids, but I wonder if he really had hemorrhoids. No, it''s not something to think about early in the morning. Well, this is how it was in the Edo period!¡¡And the buckwheat noodle will not be soggy and soft. There seems to be no "tooth black" for married women, and "sakayaki" is also in the minority. "Where can I get laver and tea?" Nori (seaweed) is easily moistened, so it should be made and sold by a gentile who can perfectly preserve it in an item pouch. Will I be able to get laver on my island?¡¡I believe that seaweed can be cultivated, and I would like to get the seeds. I don''t think about the ecosystem at this point, as soon as the sea dragon Soong comes, it will be too late. "We can get a lot of things in Gangtok, but as far as food is concerned, maybe the port on the left side of the sea?¡¡It''s in the opposite direction, though." Amane says as she deftly peels the skin off the salmon with the tip of her chopsticks. If I could, I would peel off the skin of the salted salmon and bake it again in the toaster to get a crispy bite. I put it in the corner of the plate for this time, because I am afraid that people might say it is bad manners. "I guess you go around the country and get the ingredients rather than the processed ones, don''t you?¡¡When we get to Koto, I will ask my acquaintances for letters of introduction to the various territories. Hurry up and get there. Then I''ll do it myself at ......." "No, if you send out a letter from the heir apparent of the Seike family, you may be suspected in some places and put under house arrest until the truth is determined. Ukon rejects Sakon''s offer. I''ll pass on the house arrest flag. "Well, even if you don''t usually use it, it would be good to have it in case of emergencies. I''ll write one down too. Listening to the conversation, I was beginning to think that Ukon''s status must be near the highest rank. "Homura, I have a favor to ask you." "What?" A favor from Luba is rare. "Give me a cup of coffee." ....... d*mn!!!¡¡No tea drinkers here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!¡¡I think you''re too much of a minority!¡¡Crow!¡¡I want to see Claud!!!!¡¡No, wait. Calm down. It''s Japanese food and I''m drinking green tea, not black. We leave the inn without Peter and continue on the road. Ukon and the others seem to have completely shifted to our clothes, wearing hakama, tabi, and waraji (straw sandals). The sandals have a low defense, but they are quick and dexterous, and I am impressed in a strange way that it is just like a game. Am I the only one who thinks that tabi (socks) and hakama are s*xy with the glimpse of the skin color of the feet? "It''s a beautiful day... It''s cold, but it feels so nice. The trip is going well. I followed the old man digging for yams on the way, and we went our separate ways, but it was all going well. We made half of the yams as seeds and planted them on the island. As soon as we turned off the road and entered the mountain, a demon attacked us, but he killed it with a swing of his machete, he is strong. He was the guardian of the mountain god whose power increases only in the mountain. It seems that this title is quite common among the inhabitants living in the satoyama, although it varies from blessings to favoritism. "Oh, nameko mushrooms are still growing?" A brown object in a standing beech tree. "Hey, when one is enjoying the freshness of travel..." Amane complains, but I can''t help but run off to gather food. I think that I can get higher grade foodstuffs if I go off the road, but I am serious about walking on the road, so please forgive me. I have even found a stream and asked Amane and Sakon to take Fusobeni Sawagani (Fuso Beni Sawagani) for me, so I can''t say that I am not causing them any trouble. The other harvests at present are chrysanthemum, winter mushrooms, and wasabi. I got the wasabi at the place of the Japanese crabs!¡¡I am happy because it is one of the things I wanted. A suspension bridge over a canyon made of kudzu vines. The white river breaking against the rocks, visible through the cracks of the bridge planks. The soft soil on the frosty trail of the mountain road. The stone steps, curled up and slippery from over-treading. Amane sometimes tries to grab my braid, but she doesn''t seem to be serious, and when I look at her, she turns her face away from me and looks the day after tomorrow. After a while, she reaches out her hand to my hand again, and when I look at her, she repeatedly turns her face away in an exaggerated manner. It seems that he is trying to amuse Ukon rather than trying to get the braid. The sun is already in the south. Let''s make it noon. Ukon laughs and says. "There is a shrine a little further down the road, uninhabited, I believe. Let''s take it there. Although uninhabited, the shrine is outside the boundaries. It is a bit complicated, but there are wards to avoid the wards that seal the nine tails that are placed on the whole Fuso area. <, they can replenish their supplies, and since no demons can enter, it''s a good place to take a break. "Mmm, this is delicious. "Oh, this is warming." Ukon and Luba sip miso soup. I made miso soup with the crabs we had caught. The crab was grinded and strained, and only leeks were used as condiments. Both the crab soup and the miso soup are made while they are still hot. "Even though it''s sunny and fresh, I think my body has cooled down a lot without realizing it." "It comes back to life, it comes back to life. A little side trip to Homura is nice." Sakon says, and Amane says as she wraps her hands around her bowl. Besides the miso soup with crab, the inn provided us with rice balls. They were wrapped in bamboo bark and served with pickles. It consisted of three ingredients: grilled rice balls with miso, the same salmon and pickled plums as breakfast, but why did the rice balls eaten outside taste so good? And so the second night on the road. Today I stayed in a single room. I was asked if I wanted a triple room, but Peter might come, and it would be more convenient for me to call up Benibe. Amane seems to be the first guard for Ukon today, and when Sakon and Ruba, who have been drinking in my room, return to their rooms to go to bed, I open . Then he calls up Benibe and ...... "Pigya!" "Oh?¡¡Bahamut, it''s been a long time. Have you regained your strength yet?" Between me and my Enma book, Bahamut appeared on my lap. "What? Black comes out of his face. "Ah, my strongest dragon. Blacks get along well with each other. "Pighyah!" The scales are jet-black without a single scratch, but when you look away, you can see that they are completely healed!¡¡It seems that it is not quite so. <, takes out a soft cloth, and polishes Bahamut. "Dragon......" "Do you want me to brush the black too?" I called out to him and he pulled away. You don''t like it that much, brushing. Pets and cavalry can be taken out of their accessories, but summoned beasts can''t. The first shop on the island we arrived at didn''t have a code maker who could write down the summons, so we can''t summon Bai in Fuso at this time. Since I have successfully obtained the symbols during the daytime battle, I intend to raise my level and be able to summon Bai on my own. "Do you want something to eat?" Bahamut prefers meat grilled with salt and pepper. When I serve him a piece of meat roasted with gills that I got in Arval, he chomped on it, sometimes holding it with his paw and biting it off. It is fun to watch Bahamut eat the meat, as it looks so delicious. "Pigya!" I apply some [life magic] to Bahamut, who is flapping around by my face, and clean his mouth and oral cavity while stroking him. "Pigyah!" This time, he shouted in front of the shoji screen. "Ah, you want to go for a walk. This island has a boundary, so if you want to go off the island, you have to go through the torii gate in the sea. Keep the cratering and mountain-destroying to a minimum." As he opens the shoji, Bahamut runs out into the bright moonlit night. "Please bring me something!" I whisper to him and wave as he flies away without looking back. I wonder how many years it has been since I have been in the sky. The first time I saw him was in the labyrinth, and the next time was in the arena, where he spat out his breath and then vanished. He seemed to feel good as he let loose his breath as much as he could with his breath, so I guess it was all right. But flying in the sky must be something special. I don''t want to keep Bahamut in the air, even if there is some destruction of nature. But I am nervous about it, and I really hope that you will refrain from doing so if you can. I will hide the sky that Bahamut has quickly disappeared from sight with a shoji, and this time, I will call out to Red Plum. ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ...increase... Skill [Marks [Expression] The Imp of Disease ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ 196 - - The Night of the Inn "Why aren''t we in battle again!" Now I''m happy to be perched on white. Fluffy is good, but so are paw pads!¡¡White has soft pink paw pads, probably to keep his feet off the ground. I noticed this before I called up Red Plum. Did I just use [life magic]?¡¡And. This inn has a small shrine in the garden. I was puzzled as to the criteria Ukon and the others used for selecting an inn, but it occurred to me that they chose a place where there was a shrine and where they could make charms. --He seemed to avoid the largest inns, but I suspect that this is because they are the main lodgings used by nobles, and their faces are hidden from the public. "This is Fuso. Fuso is a normal place and we can''t use our skills to influence the outside world. "You could have just called them out before you left!¡¡Or are you just about to leave!" "No." "You have the nerve to immediately deny it!" Why is White such a fighting maniac? "It seems that if you use <>, you can call them up outside. I''m going to try to level up now." "MU......" Meek white. "I''m more motivated when I have a subject." "I have no choice." After saying this, White settles into his lap. "I don''t think we''re the same kind of people if we enjoy being stroked on someone''s lap." The black guy peeks out from under the collar, looks down at the white guy and says, "I''m sorry, but I don''t know what you''re talking about. "What the hell are you? You never come out of your pocket!" "Hmph!¡¡I''m just trying to heal my wounds, that''s all." What, you weren''t healed yet? "Hmph. That sounds like an excuse to me. What the hell? A crisp, straight black right. "You''ve got some nerve!" White uppercut. And so begins the fluff showdown. The place is my bosom. "Well, this is a notice from the venue. We''re over capacity, please go outside. If you''re going to play inside, please be smaller. I thought about stopping them, but they seemed to be enjoying themselves, so I didn''t. They should be happy to have company since they have been on their own for so long, but they do not want to mingle with the mistiffs on the island. Black, too, chose not to go to the island. Mistyf are by nature quiet creatures who do not like change and do not interact with the outside world. Both Black and White may consider themselves different from other Mysphets because of their experience in the battle. Both of them must be glad to have found a kindred spirit. The fluffy confrontation tickles me a little and sometimes hurts. I wonder why they choose to be small instead of doing it outside. "<>" Sometimes I try to hold the clothes where black or white is, enjoying the coming poke in the nose, but then I go back to my original goal. If I am an Ox, the autumn leaves will come before I can call out the red plum blossoms. "......" When the light of the paper lantern became darker, as if it were covered with a cloth, the red plum blossoms appeared as if blotched. "Good evening." "......,Mr. Lengard?" "Oh. It''s got a powerful cognitive inhibitor on it." He holds the mask to his face and shows it equipped, then shifts it under his nose and looks at Red Plum. "I know, because I have a contract, but it was a strange sensation that my vision and perception did not match." Red Plum said relievedly and approached noiselessly and sat down. "And that ......." After saying this, Benihime turned her gaze to my strangely moving torso. "What''s new?" "You too." At the sound of Red Plum''s voice, Black and White appear. Their fur is ruffled and their heads are so warm that steam is rising from their heads. White gives a sharp rebuke to the older-looking Black, and moves to his shoulder. White is hotter than Black. "It''s black and white. White is my summoner, and Black lives in my bosom." Nice to meet you, my name is Red Plum. "Hmm, I''m a houseguest. Suit yourself. After saying these words, the black man dives back into his bosom. "You''re selfish." He strokes the head of the sniffling White and ruffles his fur. The touch is as wonderful as ever!¡¡I was thinking, "I''m not sure how to do this," when Red Plum silently adjusted my collar. It seems to be said that a disorderly dress is a disorderly heart. "By the way, Lengard is the name I use when I''m wearing a mask. Call me Homura." "Homura-sama. As you may know, I am Lord Thunder. Red Plum is the name of a plum spirit I know. However, my name contains something disturbing to those of our world, so I think it would be better if you continue to call me Beni-ume. "Yes, sir. You don''t have to say "sir." It''s a ceremony. You''re good at that. While Red Plum reads a book, he works hard on calligraphy in the name of raising the level of <>. I am relieved to know that I have purchased a large amount of paper, but I feel a little uncomfortable because I can only write in block style. White compliments me, but I don''t like my handwriting. I would like to be able to write in cursive or, if I want, in seal script, which would at least cover up my ordinary handwriting. Well, I would kill myself if I were handed a document in the real world with cursive handwriting that I cannot read. However, if the characters written in <> can be easily read, it would be easy for the enemy to predict our actions, and I would like to do something about it. It seems to me that it doesn''t matter whether the characters are broken or hieroglyphic, as long as the person who made them can read them. Let''s have some fun with trial and error. < removes the presence of the gods and extracts only events as its effect. Skeletons can be healed with of Sacred Magic!¡¡It is something like a bug, but in Fuso, it is not limited to <>, but it can only be used through <>, and if it is a recovery, it works as a recovery, ignoring the original attribute. --I wonder if it was Lusha who sealed the nine tails. But still, when you see how they made a <>, there is a hint that < made by alchemy could have been used. ....... I was so delighted to see the Japanese style that I quickly took it, but I wonder if it''s not a similar thing to this one. "But then again, I guess I didn''t need it..." Red Plum stops turning the pages and says as if remembering. "What?" "The wards on the rooms in this inn seem to be quite strong. Momiji won''t be able to sneak in here without causing a ruckus. I don''t think they''d be able to creep in if they caused a ruckus. "...... warding, is it?" "Every room in an inn of a certain rank. Only the innkeeper, fellow travelers, and those invited by the innkeeper may enter." I have [Detect Warding], but I haven''t taken it yet because I don''t want to waste skill points. I can manage!¡¡I thought I should take it, but it seems that I should take it quietly. ...... I''ll get it next time when I get higher level. I don''t want to lose my skill points now, because I might want some unknown skill again. I should have gone to the arena to earn skill points! "Hmm?¡¡So does that mean that if my [warding] level goes up, I can put it up on my own?" "If you have [warding], yes. <." < is already up to the point where it can evoke white. --Because the level of white is low. We have no choice but to raise here! "Can [warding] also prevent [leaning]?" At any rate, the E! is almost zero a few times, let''s take a break. It''s hard to adjust when it''s completely zero, and it''s hard to adjust when you get carried away. Above all, E! Eating only for recovery is not enough for me. Today''s dinner was fried Fusoebi and yam isobe. Grated yam is mixed with white soup stock until it becomes fluffy, and the prawns are wrapped in nori (seaweed) with a thin layer of potato starch to prevent them from shrinking and deep-fried. In this world, deep frying is easy and wonderful. Eat it fluffy and crispy with dashi soy sauce. "If you raise the level, some things may be possible, if only temporarily. However, it is those who are misled by "inclination" who are named "man" or "male," from old men to young children. There is no guarantee that even I, now that I have become a man of ceremony, will not be deceived if I face it head-on. A drunkard of low spirit may certainly be deceived. Many other people will try to break through the warding. No, it''s not the nine tails that we want to prevent. <, once activated, it will remain in effect for a certain period of time, and you can rest assured that it will remain in effect while you sleep!¡¡......,Huh? "[Tilt] ......,Does it only work on men?" I think it had lapis on it. "Because the nine tails are female. It is rare for the same s*x to be affected, but it is the opposite s*x that is affected." "Hmm? What''s wrong? Rarely had two people ...... around me, or even a family of mystiff-hunters, worked without regard to gender. The white gaze stung. "No, I just noticed the fact that I have a bit of a headache." I suspect it is more powerful than the nine-tailed [inclination]. No, it may be a broad and shallow suspicion, it''s still too early to be distraught. "The people of Fuso are of the female lineage for fear of the influence of the tipping point. Women are always in charge, especially at inns where people tend to be unprotected, and those who have contact with guests are almost always women. The head of a family of high rank is also often a woman. If a man is in charge, he is surrounded by women so that he can cope with the situation if the country falls into a crisis. Beni Ume tells us, as she brings a mouthful of delicious isobe-age (fried seafood) to her mouth. "I see." I hadn''t noticed the innkeeper and the waitress, since in the real world the inn is staffed exclusively by women. Come to think of it, I think there were more priestesses at the first shrine than Shinto priests. After that, Beni Ume started to drink sake, so we added some horse mackerel rice cake. A lot of sesame seeds and green onions were added. The miso was just the right amount of salty. The miso flavor is just right. It makes me want to eat rice, even though I can''t drink. Now, I want something a little crunchy... Homura-sama! Red Plum put down his cup and looked at me. "Ah." He gets up and opens the shoji. There was a sake-drinker covered in blood on the wet edge. "Hey!" He hurriedly calls them into his room and uses a freshly made . I have plenty of them now!¡¡I have to see if [sacred magic] works when I''m well. "What''s going on?¡¡Every time I look at you, you''re covered in blood or mud. Or you''ve been drinking. What''s wrong? Beniume covered his mouth with his scepter and said to the sake-drinker, while Sakon jumped in with his hand on the hilt of his sword and his koikuchi (mouth) cut off. With the koiguchi cut, the sword was slightly pulled out of its sheath and ready to be pulled out at any moment, in other words, ready for battle. "Shut up!¡¡That''s not the point!¡¡Someone has entered the seal!" Oh, my God. "Ah, Sakon. Sorry for the commotion, you two are my ceremony. Shiki? I got hit so hard I couldn''t follow him. That''s not good! When did you get this? Where''s Da-iri? I''m safe. That''s why I came to get you. You''re good at detecting things, aren''t you?¡¡I don''t know where they went." It was a bit chaotic because Sakaton, Koume, myself and Sakon were talking together. At any rate, Sakon put down his sword, told Amane that the commotion was not an enemy attack, and settled down to listen to what he had to say. I am impressed that Amane was aware of the situation and did not leave Ukon''s side. The reason why Sakon did not jump in without a moment''s hesitation when Saketon came to him must be because he was in contact with Amane first. Ukon is the one to protect me, and I am just an extra. "Fugyo!" "Fugui?" I open the closed shoji door to hear a strange voice. "Piggya!" With a squeal, something fell to the floor with a thud. Was the fugyo in its mouth and couldn''t squeal properly? "Welcome back," said the drunkard from earlier, "but you''re covered in blood again. Bahamut jumps into my arms. He applies to Bahamut, who is still clinging to his chest, to stop the blood, clean him up with [Life Magic], and heal him again. "It''s black!¡¡This presence!" The drunkard is startled. "You let Bahamut loose!" White''s hair stands on end. "Freedom is best. No, locking them up would cause too much stress, and you''d be afraid of the repercussions, wouldn''t you?¡¡I think that would be more catastrophic, don''t you?" While continuing to recover, I looked at my feet and saw something covered in blood as well. I''m not sure if it''s an ogre or not, so I''m going to use a < here. Isn''t there a lot of blood tonight? "What have you got for me?" "Piggya!" "Hmm, maybe it''s a souvenir." "Piggya!" I don''t think I can eat this souvenir. Since its original form is doubtful, let''s just heal it and let the blood drop. 197 - - The fundoshi loincloth "Well, this is ......." Bahamut, who seems to be tired, returns and looks at the bloody object. It is even larger than the drunkard, and its face is stern. It looks so devilish that a child cries. There is blood everywhere. "............ Hey." "...... looks like Kojiro-dono to me." Sake-drinker and Beni-ume whisper to each other as if they are trying to avoid their surroundings. When I think of Kojiro, all I can think of is Sasaki Kojiro.¡¡Hmmm?¡¡Well, whatever you do, the cleaner the better. "I feel like I''ve been doing this a lot lately." Pour a lot of restorative medicine on it. It''s inconvenient that we can''t use [Sacred Magic] until we know if the demon is poisoned or not, so let''s find another way to recover for strange demons besides medicine. Or is it my imagination that in many cases, I have to recover as soon as I meet them? It''s quite a H! The amount of H!? is quite a lot, but compared to the recovery of Bahamut, it''s no big deal whether it''s sake-drinking or object X. I always keep a large stock of recovery pills for Bahamut and Black, I always did. ....... Obviously, the specs of the recovery medicine are not enough!¡¡HAHAHA! ...... may have to look for medicinal herbs in Fuso first, before looking for ingredients. <, but there is an upper limit. We can''t go any further without a new recipe and the corresponding herbs of the main ingredients. It will last for a while, but I am not sure about the recovery during the battle. "There are lacerations and bite marks here and there." I don''t think he could have resisted that thing. Did you beat him up? Sakon points this out with a furrowed brow, to which Sakutake replies with a disgusted look on his face. "You are a bad dragon, aren''t you? White''s absentminded hijinks. After Bahamut''s return, Object X seems to have lost interest. "I think I dropped this object a few times, not in battle, but simply when I was carrying it..." "...... If he flies with such a huge body in his mouth at such a small size, even if Kojiro-dono''s body is strong, it will be shredded in the process. In the first place, I wonder if that little dragon really brought it all the way here. No, I''m sure he''s right in terms of the presence of the dragon. Red Plum is trying to analyze my words with confusion. I think that analysis is futile, since Bahamut''s strength is so outstanding. "I asked him to keep the destruction to a minimum on the way out, so I wonder if he refrained from making it bigger.¡¡I feel bad saying that because every time I drop something, I pick it up and try my best to bring it here." It would have been easier if it had been the right size. "I don''t know if I could have gotten bigger!¡¡I mean, why do you have to make it sound like a good story! "Bahamut: ....... When I think of a big black dragon, all I can think of is that dragon (...) I saw in the arena: ......" The wrinkles between Sakon''s eyebrows deepen. < ? < I told White that I didn''t mind his apology and put my cheek against his shoulder, and unusually, he rubbed his cheek against me. I hope he will fall in love with me and sleep with me too. "Since I wasn''t there, I can''t say too strongly, but I think it would be safer if you continue to talk to him to minimize the destruction. After healing the wounds and cleaning the blood and mud off the object X for the time being, I put my hand on the huge body lying on the wet edge of the futon to see if I could put the big Jiro named Ko(С)jiro on the futon, and he came back to consciousness. "M......" "You''re awake. Are you okay?" "Why am I here ......?" Kojiro rouses himself and shakes his head. "Didn''t you fight a little black dragon?" "Drinking?¡¡Even the Lord of Thunder. I did fight a small dragon, but why are you here?¡¡You don''t mean you guys?" Kojiro says that all of this is making him suspicious of me as a souvenir. He looks rather evil, but his tone is polite and calm. "Is it my imagination that I''ve heard some disturbing names? Is he a different person from the demon I recognize ......?" Sakon, who is watching the transition, mumbles something. "I am only here at the call of the Lord, the owner of the name. "The Lord of Thunder and the Lord? He is the one who has just restored you. Red Plum, his scepter covering his thinly smiling mouth, says. He''s my master, too. I am supposed to be the master, but I have a feeling that some sort of ownership battle is brewing again. I am Homura. Red plum and sake drinker and I got along well last night at the banquet." At any rate, it''s cold and I want to close the shoji as soon as possible. I stood up to invite him to my room. "Wow, there are more!" "Peter." When I turned around, I saw Peter on the porch. He silently closed the shoji without a pause at his friend''s return. He also shut out Kojiro, but he had no choice. "Hey, don''t close it! I know what you mean, but it''s not my taste! Naturally, they open the shoji and come in. The room of the inn is originally named after me and Peter, and Peter can open the door too. By the way, Kojiro, who is not registered, cannot open the shoji without breaking the boundary. "Shuten!" Geez!¡¡Thorns!" As I closed the shoji, a small, developing girl in a loincloth and sarashi tumbled into the room behind Peter. I don''t know how to react to a white loincloth floating in the dark night. "Anyway, um, Kojiro-san?" "If you are the Lord of Thunder, then Kojiro is fine." Kojiro, why don''t you come in?¡¡It''s a little cramped." When you try to invite them in, you realize how small it is. It is an eight-mat room with a tokonoma (alcove), but it seems to be big enough for not two but three people, and seven people in total seems like too many. Ukon and Amane''s girls'' room is a little farther away from the room - they said it had a room bath, so it was of a higher grade - but Sakon and Luba''s room is next to it. I''d like to open the fusuma (sliding door) to connect them, but I can''t bear to wake up Ruba for this reason. Oh, I heard that the warding is soundproofed perfectly. That''s convenient. "Boober! Boober! Why are you here?¡¡Destiny! No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no! The loincloth girl seems to be an ogre who is obsessed with the sake-drinker. She is hugging the neck of the sake-drinker, who is sitting on the floor. Or rather, Ibaraki-doji? "Peaceful Inn Turns Chaotic ......" "Is that what you say?" "Are you doing something wrong after all?" Peter hears White''s comment. "Homura-sama, who is this?" "Oh. Peter, this is my friend. And Sakon? Peter, Sakon, this is Koume, and the one hugged by the loincloth girl over there is Sakutomo, my ceremony. And this is White." At Koume''s question, he introduces Peter and Sakon. Since it seems that White is now showing up, I introduce White as well. I''m Sakon. Nice to meet you. How are you? After exchanging a light bailing greeting, Peter turns his attention to Kojiro. "My name is Kojiro. To be honest, I don''t know why I am here. But it seems that I have been rescued by Homura-dono. "No, my pet originally brought it as a souvenir." "Souvenirs: ....... I was defeated by Homura-dono''s pet?" He looked disappointed and dejected, but soon looked up and said, "I''m sorry. "Now that I''ve lost, I''m going to be a part of your ceremony. What do you want? "Huh?¡¡Then you''ll be in the liquor barrel on a regular basis." "......, if that''s what you want." There is a pause, and then they agree. "What makes you say that?" "No, it''s not so good to grill them with salt and pepper, but I thought it would be good to make devil''s wine, not pit viper''s wine." "I don''t understand it when I hear what''s going on along the way." Peter threw me out. "I think Bahamut wanted me to grill it with his favorite salt and pepper, but I thought, well, he''ll be happy if it turns into a drink." Demons and dragons like to drink. "What!¡¡You were going to eat it!¡¡No, you didn''t!" "A new ceremony for Master Homura, isn''t that right?¡¡And it''s a souvenir for Homura-sama." I explained a little more politely, and Sake-Takeru and Beni-Ume voiced their denial. "Homura, don''t say things that would make even the demons cringe. "Stop thinking in terms of Bah¨¢''¨ªs." Sakon and Peter chided him. "No, there are ogres from man-eaters to family-eaters among ogres. "You should deny it!" Kojiro was the only one who agreed with me, but he was not convinced by the fact that the loincloth girl was rubbing up against him. The loincloth girl is not discouraged by the rejection and has a lot of guts. She seems to be looking at no one but the sake-drinker. Peter, is that loincloth girl Peter''s expression? "Do something about what you call me. It''s my formula. It was on the way here, and the specs are pretty good." Put some clothes on, put some clothes on. After he turned me down. I don''t think you should choose a girl based on specs alone, it''s dangerous. "Homura-sama, can I borrow the Enma book?" "Yeah, which one do you want?" Kojiro, who spoke calmly despite his scary face, offered the plum and gourd patterns. "Flower pattern." No way. "First acquisition, I knew it was a homura. Well, I guess there are no other players. Peter sees that I have brought out two copies of , and says to me, "I''ve got two copies of , but I don''t know what to do with them. I wonder what pattern is on the cover of the loincloth girl. "Wouldn''t the sake-drinker be better?¡¡You''ll be on page three." "Hey, what are you trying to do? I''m a newcomer, I''ll take it in stride. He stamps his handprint on the third page, not heeding the words of Koumei. "Yes, yes, that''s where you sign your name. "Mm, right." "Hey, just the bill will do. You should save your signature until you have someone you want to serve. Kojiro tries to sign Peter''s words. Is this demon okay? He seems so gullible. "I''ve never signed a bill of sale before, so I''m not sure of my manners ......." "I bet a demon like you has never lost a fight. You don''t seem to be as infatuated as I am. If Shuten says so, Kojiro must be a very strong demon. "Sign the petition, defeat Lord Thunder, and take the first page of the demon''s name." "Sake-drinker." Red Plum glared at him as he challenged the drunken man. "What, what?¡¡If you''re going to do it, I''m going to join you!" The loincloth lightly bounces as if it were a preparatory exercise and smiles happily. "It''s too small, if you''re going to do it, do it outside." No, I don''t want you to do it outside. It''s not funny to have a fight between two big demons in the yard of the inn where we are staying. Sakon rejected the proposal. In the end, he sent him home with a barrel of rum. The room was too small for a banquet. If we had a battle on the way back home, well, it would have been somewhat unavoidable, since the two ogres were so belligerent. So?" "Tell me what happened and why did you take the three demons as a ceremony?" Now being pressed by a smiling Peter and Sakon. "I just joined the banquet at the place I escaped from, remember?¡¡Even Peter got a loincloth." "Don''t make it sound like I wear a loincloth." "Both of you can go to ......." Sakon puts his hand on his brow and sighs. "I can''t keep myself from getting into trouble for what he''s doing." Cloak evaluation results [I have a feeling it''s true. ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ...increase...

"Yes. I can avoid most of the attacks, but I can''t hit them. And I was at a disadvantage because of Ibaraki''s range. I can run away from them without any problem. The bridge is a kind of boundary, a classic place where strange things happen. Peter thought at first that it was the spirit of a human pillar buried in the abutment. --Why are you being so specific, Peter? Why are you being so specific, Peter? Why don''t you just use the spirit of the white snake that lives at the foot of the bridge? Well, it turned out to be a white loincloth. So how did you get him here without getting killed? It was time for Ukon to ask questions over breakfast. Today''s menu consisted of rice, miso soup, dried horse mackerel, simmered thick fried bean curd and bracken, nori tsukudani, and two kinds of pickles. Food prepared by others is 30% more delicious. "They made a condition for us..." he said. If you can find a gentile with the sake-drinker as his god within three days, he''ll be your god. If not, I''ll take your heart. I guess." "You got that, ......." "Reckless. I thought you would be more cautious." Sakon and Amane sigh in dismay, while Luba is surprised at what has happened in the next room while he was sleeping. Luba can use chopsticks. He was invited to his late friend''s house and sometimes ate Fuso''s food (nihon kyoku). "I knew the answer, you know." He shrugs and looks at me. "Well, if it wasn''t Peter, I''d be the only one." "What are you talking about, there were other Gentiles. ...... long time ago." The reason why the residents recognize the Gentiles is because there is a past story that the Gentiles came in the past when the evil gods were active and joined forces with the residents of this world ....... It is because of this background that we came to this and were easily accepted by the Adventurers Guild and others. We are not the only Gentiles who have recently started playing the game. But for both Peter and myself, the only Gentiles (players) in Fuso now are each other. "More importantly, I''ve never seen them arguing over whether or not to stamp the devil''s handprint. Sakon looks at me sideways. "I''ve often heard that ogres don''t like to have their handprints stamped, though," he said. No, it''s not that. Ibaraki Doji is willing to press the button at all costs, but Homura doesn''t want to." "......" "Huh?" Ukon stopped moving as he lifted the teacup, and a dumb voice came out of Amane, its ending rising in pitch. "After all, I accepted on the condition that you put on your clothes and behave yourself in front of me." The dried horse mackerel fillets were a little small, perhaps on purpose for breakfast, but the meat was thick and tasty. As I was loosening the meat with chopsticks, I remembered Ibaraki Doji, who was so insistent on stamping his handprint on the second page of the book, even though I refused to do so, and who, without hearing me stop him, put his hand into his pocket to see if <> was there, and was bitten by a black man with tears in his eyes. "Clothes ......?" "Mm. I have no idea what''s going on with Homura." "The ...... part that''s a headache is that it''s still a word." "Homura, you might as well just give up and let it be." "Wait, it''s not my fault this time, is it?¡¡I think it''s Peter''s fault for picking up a girl with nothing but a loincloth and a bleached loincloth, not a loincloth......!" Just as Amane and Ukon are puzzled, Sakon affirms that it is true. He then protests that Peter is placing the blame on him. In fact, Ibaraki-doji is now the demon on Peter''s first page. "I''m not talking about Ibaraki-doji, but the whole thing. --I''ll teach him a lesson later so he won''t get into trouble with Homura." "Well, I hear you get into trouble a lot." "What?¡¡By whom? Ruba has joined the fray. "Galahad and his friends sometimes come here for a drink. They never say "what", so I was only half listening to what they were saying. Luba stops talking and glances at me. "It seems like you were right about the ingot, and now this." "I''m just going about my day." I''m discouraged. It''s not my behavior that''s getting me in trouble. "Let me ask you one more time.¡¡Who made Lord Thunder and the drunkard into a ceremony?" "I escaped in the middle of the night and was favored at the demon banquet." What about Kojiro? "A pet I took for a walk gave it to me as a souvenir." "And the pet, the dragon for whom Bahamut was named?" "We had a standoff at first, but when I complimented him on how cool he was, he took to me. Maybe he is the type that grows from praise?" "......" "............" ".................." As they answered Ukon''s questions, the eyes of the three members of the Fuso-gumi became more and more fixed and steady. Peter and Luba are laughing aloud, as if amused. "Is it partly because demons like to drink? In the silence, Sakon blurts out. "...... Well, from what I''ve heard of your exchange with Benibe, he must have caught your attention because he is a gentile without any ties here in Fuso, without making any unreasonable demands. Many things in the hidden world have grudges against those on our side. If Homura is the master, it seems unlikely that the balance of power will change. It''s better for us too than a bad, ambitious person. "So it''s neither poison nor medicine. I warned you not to go out at night, by the way. I''m glad you''re safe this time, but there are enemies whose magic doesn''t work. Ukon sighs and tells us that it seems that Shiki and the others have been resolved or shelved. Then Amane scolded him for walking around at night. "No, I''m ......" "Well, Shiki will protect you next time. But you should be moderate." This sermon seems to have ended. It''s nice that it wasn''t a long sermon, or one that lingers. Amane''s simple sermon gently reminds me of her concern for me at the same time. One more night and one more day. We finally arrived at Koto! We were surprised to see Momiji and Momiji standing on the other side of the shoji at the time of the ox, even though we said we didn''t need them because of the warding. The shadow of the demon did not fall on the ground, but it appeared at the time of the ceremony?¡¡When I asked him about it, he replied that the shadow would fall if it became a ceremony or if the person had a strong grudge against the object and was attached to it. It is a delicate choice. Water flowing through a ditch, houses with tiled roofs facing the street. Looking into the back of the houses, we see shingle-roofed row houses. It is Edo, Edo. When I first landed in Fast, I imagined Europe in a theme park, but this is Edo in a period drama. "Oh, that''s nice." "It''s a little more exciting." The inn towns along the way were also nice in their own way, but on a different scale and with a more sophisticated look. The indigo-dyed awning curtains of the stores on the main street are a rarity. It is a sunshade-like curtain made of a single piece of cloth like a large furoshiki, the top of which is attached to the eaves of the roof, with the lower part extending out into the street. The letters in white on a navy blue background, which appear to be the name of a store, look chic. I wonder if they are dealing with sun-sensitive items.¡¡I''ll check it out later. Black but transparent. The ground hulls are scattered together like a hoshi (a kind of hoshi, or a kind of hull that has been ground together), and this also seems to enhance the transparency of the blackness. They are buckwheat noodles. I prefer Sarashina Soba to Yabusoba, which is made from buckwheat flour ground with the hulls, but this Soba looks good. The reason why I don''t like Yabusoba is because I have been fed a lot of bad buckwheat noodles by the old men in my parents'' neighborhood, who only bought the ingredients for their buckwheat noodles when the buckwheat noodle making craze came. I remember that the buckwheat noodles were black with hulls, but they were kind of whitish and had a lot of chips in them. It must have dried out because of the process of connecting and putting them together. Why do they want to make difficult Jyuwari Soba? "Be careful with the soba sauce, it is very thick here. Amane, who has chosen the restaurant, warns me with some pride. Is that the Edo-kko way?¡¡Following the advice, I dip the tip of the picked buckwheat noodle into the dipping sauce and take it out. It is quite late in the season since the fall when buckwheat noodles are made, but the aroma of buckwheat noodles in one''s mouth is very nice. It may be due to the fact that I only put a little bit of the dashi broth and soy sauce on the tip of the buckwheat noodle, but the aroma of the dashi broth and soy sauce is not overpowering. The kabayaki with kobashira and mitsuba (mitsuba) is also good. Quick!¡¡The scallops are just the right consistency, fried to perfection!¡¡The hot and steamy soba noodles that Peter and his friends are eating also look delicious. I don''t like hot Soba for the same reason as Yabusoba, but on a cold day, I am a little bit attracted to it. We were also taken to a sweet shop recommended by Amane, an accessory shop, a one-size-fits-all rice shop, a kimono shop, a bougu shop, a sweet shop, a sword shop, and a sweet shop. "You''re really excited!" By the time Peter had finished his comment, Luba and Sakon had gone limp. Me?¡¡I too have reached my sweet tooth limit. Gghh. Amane, that''s enough. I''m going home. "Ukon-sama ......" Ukon admonishes. "Excuse me. When I get home, I have to take over the family business. I won''t be able to do as much as I used to do. "Is today the last time you''ll be a free man?" Peter confirms Ukon''s words. It seems that Amane had been dragging Ukon around in order to let him enjoy his freedom until the very last minute. It is probably for the same reason that Sakon did not stop Amane. "I wonder if that would be the case?" "Well, then, shouldn''t we go wherever Ukon wants to go?¡¡I''ll go with you, okay?" Ukon didn''t seem to be much of a sweet tooth either. "I don''t know many places. Besides, it''s time to go. I don''t want to get you guys in trouble. "I don''t know anything about the family business, so I say irresponsibly, you don''t have to go back to such a cramped place. I hate the fact that there are people involved in this long journey who are even bothering those who were with us just because we arrived a day or two late. "It''s a tight squeeze, but I''m satisfied with it." Ukon laughs quietly as usual. "Ukon, Sakon and Amane didn''t look like they lived together, and I knew I would have to say goodbye to them when I arrived. There was a feeling that we would never see each other again." I saw Sakon and Amane off to go with Ukon and am now experiencing the hot-spring house. They are soaking in the hot water in a dark room with the steam rising up from the hot water, and they are almost overtired and run away early, and are lounging around upstairs. There is a chess game and a yellow cover (manga) on the wall, so please laze around!¡¡It''s a space that just says, "I''m here. "If you had told me earlier, the three of us could have had a little more time together." "Well, I guess we were all a little too busy being cautious and stuffy with only those who knew what was going on." I think of the three of them parting and say something like that, and Luba says the same. Peter and Ruba, who appear to be depressed, are quietly getting heated up by playing chess. They are not taking their eyes off the board for their previous lines. It seems to be a good game, but I am not good at chess or shogi, so I don''t know who has the upper hand. Anyone wants to play Go with me? As mentioned on the road, we are meeting Sakon here, as we are going to visit his house. He also said that he would like to make a way for us to say that Sakon was there to watch us with a powerful demon to see who we are." Ukon said, "The old men will be very noisy when they find out. I''m planning to escape as soon as I wander around Edo to look for ingredients. Since the two men don''t seem to be interested in me, I flip through the yellow pages. ......Who''s that!¡¡Whoever replaced the cover of the spring book (erohon)!¡¡Katsushika Hokusai''s "The Octopus and the Diver"? I close the book quietly and quickly, and look at Peter and Luba with a face that says, "I''m not interested in pornographic books. They were so absorbed in playing chess that their eyes meet at such a moment. "What''s wrong?" "Yes. It''s nothing. 199 - - The House of Swordsmen A few days after visiting Sakon''s house. Together with Luba, we met Sakon''s grandmother, whom we like to call "Toji-dono. We saw her tearful face as she listened to Ruba''s story. While I was sleeping (logged out), Peter and Amane had settled their scores. Amane said, "You didn''t tell me there was another one!¡¡My lips~!!!!" It seems that Momiji had done something to him. Stay strong." Remember me, you coward! I asked Peter about it and he gave me a nice smile and said, "Well?" He replied. Either he abandoned them and ran away, or he led them on and set them up on purpose. Well, Amane seemed to be in a kind of empty state of mind after he came back from dropping Ukon off, but it was a good thing that he really seemed to be screaming from the bottom of his heart, wasn''t it? Anyway, I''ll have to get some food tomorrow on my way home from work. At this rate, the fridge will become nothing but a seasoning container. My latest craze is to put pizza cheese and tomatoes on fried tofu and bake it in a toaster oven. Depending on the taste of the tomatoes, a dash of soy sauce on the top is a triumph of both Japanese and Western flavors. If you want to make mini pizzas with gyoza crusts, buy a box of cheese and freeze it in small portions. It takes time to thaw, but it''s better than letting it go moldy. I''m thinking of such practical things, but I''m in the midst of escaping from reality. "Peter, this is ......" "Give it up." Peter invited me to get the recipe for <>. It is good that he got the recipe from ......, but the taste is not so good. The moment I put it in my mouth, I escaped from reality. > is a food that can reduce the E! consumption is slowed down. It is good for long dungeons or when you are in a dungeon. It is useful for a long dungeon or when you want to use a lot of E! It is useful, but ...... "Not tasty." "And it''s not like [cooking] skills." Why can''t we just be together? "It''s a [concoction], so there''s nothing you can do about it." Yes, they use sesame, buckwheat noodles, and other ingredients, but they also include dubious herbal medicines, and <> is treated as medicine in this world. "Normally, I nibble on a grilled skewer as much as possible, but when it comes to a battle in which I can''t relax, I''ll just give up and eat it. In a battle like the one with the sake-drinker, it is not possible to eat food while fighting. Moreover, it is only in such fights that you can''t do it. s are depleted faster in such fights. They probably use skills such as [evasion] and [mind''s eye] without realizing that they are doing so. Homura. "Yeah?" "Don''t nibble on grilled skewers in public when you''re at Lengard." "Why?" Is that it, or is it because white stands out when spilled? "It''s an image problem. I''ll give you a seedling, but you''ll have to put up with it." Peter gave me a <<< sapling of Houjyu apricot><< root of Benimyoga>>. "When did you get it? ....... How did you find myoga?¡¡I don''t think they even have a shape this season." Myoga grows by its roots, but this season, not a single leaf should be above ground. "Huh. There''s going to be a tree fair at the Higashi family estate. They say there will be a lot of fruit trees on display, so why don''t you take a look?" "Oh, I''ll go. Thank you." From the Spider to the plant market, what kind of information-gathering abilities does Peter have? I wonder if it is a skill of a spirit since he once said he was using a spirit. Come to think of it, I think I have such a skill too. ....... Is that it, or is the "escape" of the wind spirit working? I''ve only met him in situations where I''m sure to see him. "If you make something delicious, please share it with us. "Yes, sir." Apricots, or tarts?¡¡Candied apricots might be fun and festive, but only after we get some plums, too. Why is it that most apricot candies at festivals are made with apricots and plums at the same time? By the way, is it true that you don''t see many apricot candies in Kansai? Oh, they make apricot jelly!¡¡I definitely want wolfberries, too. Most of the apricot jelly sold on the market are made from apricot kernels that are preserved in powder form, so their aroma is often lost and flavoring is added instead. When made from apricot kernels that have retained their original form, the freshly made apricot bean curd has a gentle aroma and is very tasty. Thinking about the delicious food, my mood was lifted. The people who have made up the mixture have entered the precincts of an uninhabited shrine and are continuing to make alongside Peter. In addition to [blending], I have taken [alchemical blending], which is derived from [blending] and magic, and Peter has [blending poison], which is derived from [blending]. In order to make for made by [concoction], [concoction] is said to be at a very high level. ......[Poison preparation] is also at a high level. "Oh, mail. It''s from Luba. "You''re going to the blacksmith''s workshop with Sakon today, aren''t you?¡¡What''s up?" The swordsmith Sakon wanted to introduce us to was very stubborn and eccentric, so Peter and I refrained from following him out of curiosity and for fear of ruining the conversation. Peter is a [blacksmith], so I felt I could have followed him, but he said, "I don''t think I have enough [blacksmithing] skills, and if I said I would put poison on a sword I had struck, he would have kicked me out. Certainly, from what I have heard about his personality and episodes, he seems to be the kind of person whose likability would plummet if he tried to tamper with a sword in any way. Sakon said that he was a bigot, but he was rather likable in that he would not strike an opponent whom he did not like, even if he was offered a large sum of money. Sakon has only one apprentice, and although he orders his sheaths from a sheath maker, he does everything himself from hitting to sharpening. "He wants you to bring him the that Luba made. At any rate, he would like to see what kind of sword he has struck. "I''m sure he has other swords he''s used." They knew that I was with Peter, and since they had called me, I thought it would be safe to go, so we both moved to the sword smith''s house. The house is located in a quiet bamboo grove far from the town, probably because of the fire. "There''s something about the smell of disappointment..." "Mm." Peter responds with a laugh. The bamboo grove looked nice at first, but the house was surrounded by cut bamboos that looked like they had been cut down. "Like, if I went into the garden, they would cut me down," he said. "Don''t worry, he''s the one who makes them. But there are a lot of signs, six of them. Many houses away from the town look open, enclosed by hedges and without gates, but this house is surrounded by a blackboard fence and closed by a door. Perhaps it is a precaution for handling knives, or perhaps it is to prevent people from entering the garden and being distracted while working. Perhaps it is the atmosphere, or perhaps it is because of the atmosphere, but somehow he draws the <> to his body, and stretches out the <> while [sensing his presence]. "....... I''m here, but I''m standing in Nioi''s position with a drawn sword." "Uha." And they cut the << thread>. The next moment, the black door was blown open. "Uhoh!" "......!" A large piece of what used to be the door flew past my body, and my sword was thrust out. < with its scabbard, flicks the sword at the thrust, and pulls it out while jumping back. "What?" Before I can check the situation, Peter throws a kunai at the wolf beastman who appears, this time with a broken door and not a tail. While the beastman was knocking down the kunai, I checked my surroundings and saw Sakon and Luba looking stunned in the garden, a boy fidgeting next to them, and an old man and a sturdy man staring at me, not seeming to be surprised. "Hmm, two of them." "Well, there is no law that says you have to deal with a cutthroat by yourself. "You are the one with the sword. First, let''s shut up the interloper. The beastman steps toward Peter. Unlike Leo and Shin, who have human faces, this beastman has the face of a wolf and the chest of a relaxed kimono, with its muffled chest hairs asserting its presence. Don''t let the ...... fluffiness sway your heart. "Mister Kate!" Sakon shouts to stop him. Peter''s shadow reaches out to the beastman--Kate. But the other party immediately notices and cuts the shadow. At the same time as extending his shadow, he throws a <> at the beastman, and the <> is also repelled, but as soon as the sword touches it, a black, sticky darkness floods out of the <>. "Well, there''s no need to respond with a sword, is there?" Heavy Magic] Level 40<>. Since it is the use of << sign>>, it is not possible to do things like stacking like magic, but those who use swords are easily affected by magic in terms of their status. However, there is a high possibility that you will be cut before the magic is activated, or you will be cut by the activated magic, or you will be able to avoid it. "Yeah!¡¡You''re so clever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Peter''s three steps, my magic. But I am impressed that he still reacted. "Too bad, it''s the type that increases when you cut, just like <>." It is not an offensive magic, but a restraining magic. The ones Kate dodged melted into the ground and disappeared, but the ones she brushed away with her sword doubled in size, and the ones that stuck to Kate increased even more with a single step. "Int, it won''t be that high as expected, so I guess I''ll win if I get it." Peter says as he takes the from his mouth. While he is saying this, he extends his shadow again and tries to restrain Kate further. A hand like a mist appears from the shadow that touches Kate, and it intertwines with her feet, creating a rather horrifying picture. "...... Unexpected!" "I wonder if he''s okay now that he''s weakened?" Peter, the man who never lets up, says as he looks at an unwilling Kate. "I''m not going to ....... I''m sorry, but you''re going to have to untie her. A great stalwart calls out to him. "I was hoping for a sword fight. The old man blurted out. Was that it, he wanted to see the performance of the <>! "Homura, it doesn''t change the fact that we were suddenly attacked." Ah, that''s why!¡¡I was about to be convinced, when a cool-headed Peter gave me a shove. After that, a smiling Peter negotiated and we received a variety of rewards ...... from Fuso''s best swordsmith, who is eccentric and only strikes when he feels like it. 200 - - 198. Turtledove. Peter is now receiving kozukara (small handles) and other items, mainly from the swordsmith Amatsu. The sword is rejected, saying that it cannot be handed over unless the person who handles it is satisfied. This must have been a sticking point for him as a sword smith. Peter understood that he could not receive the sword, but he asked for something he could not give first, and then he got the small handle as a concession. I was in a delicate mood next to him. After all, I was the one who first used the , even if it was for a search. Well, it seems that they had developed detection skills (according to Peter), so is it OK? The boy who was with me was not a boy but a girl. She was said to be a disciple of Tianjin, but she seemed to be just doing menial work and chose her clothes and hair style with priority on ease of movement, and this is what she looked like. Her voice is slightly high and clear, and if you look closely, you can easily recognize her as a girl even if she is wearing men''s clothes. Her name is "Kocho" (butterfly). The face of Tianjin, with its stubbornness and craftsmanship, is sometimes softened only when he looks at her, who is as old as his grandson. The great stalwart was, of course, Ikaruga. His tanned skin was muscular and muscular, but he had scars here and there that looked white even in such a small area. I wonder why the character designer did not heal them. And then there is Kate, a werewolf-type beastman. He is fluffy, fluffy, fluffy. Fluffy is sitting on the ground. The hairs on his chest are fluffy as if he were wearing a scarf. Is it safe or not to fluff the hairs on its chest? Are creatures that walk upright out? ....... But even prairie dogs and meerkats often stand upright. If this were a female fluffy beastie, it would be ....... Rubbing her breasts is a bad idea, out. But fortunately Kate is a man, so touching a man''s breast is not a problem, safe?¡¡No. Is it out of the question when you have to worry about the s*x? "Can Homura be petite too?¡¡Is there anything else you''d like?" "Seut, maybe." Peter''s question made me say what I was thinking. "What?" Peter is a gawking man. He always has a smile on his face and a relaxed expression on his face, but it''s not real. He is a safe and an out, but he doesn''t explain. "...... small, please." I suppress my desire to squirm and stroke the area around the belly where the black is. He is kicked and pushed back with his nose, but it does not hurt because it is done from inside his clothes. If I do it too much, I get kicked in the belly area, so I stop in moderation. In the end, Peter received two small handles and three kinds of whetstones, and I received two small handles with red copper peonies and a purple-blue cord. The purpose of the cord is to prevent the scabbard from being pulled out unexpectedly, and to hold the scabbard to the belt so that it will not shift position. It is a game-like item that increases dexterity by attaching it to the sword under the pretense that it is useless ...... for me, as I store it away every time I use it. Is the small petty treated as a throwing tool? The performance is the highest I have ever seen. The handle is described as red copper, but it is actually black raven color with peony carved in gold and silver. The blade is bare and there is no scabbard, as if it is supposed to be attached to a sword scabbard. Well, it''s all right, because it can be put away. Some of them can be thrown as many times as you want if you have one, while others can''t. This is the former. This is the former. However, it will be lost at a certain probability. --I have a record of having broken three times in a row in a past game that said, "If you use this skill, you have a 0.01% chance of breaking equipment" (by the way, I broke it again the next day and my friend banned me from using the skill), so I''ll have Liddell use this one. Then, Peter chooses two of the cards from those presented by Kate and Ikaruga. "Is it all right if I use a sign, too, Homura-dono?" Kate is a ninja who originally came to take out Ikaruga. She was also an assassin, but because she failed and was exposed, she lost her lineage of skills given to her by the guild and became a target. After some twists and turns, he became Ikaruga''s apprentice and squire. And that he did. A list of items to choose from is presented, including a charm. Shouldn''t I get the right to give them to you? Peter: You should get the sign, because if you use it, it may appear on the skill list, unless there is an item you want. Homura: I see. It''s not true, but I feel like Peter has read my thoughts and is gently correcting me. ....... I also meekly chose two signs. <<><>. There were some ninja-like fugaku skills, but since there were skills that could be substituted for all of them, I quickly eliminated them from the list of candidates. > is a sword skill, and honestly, I chose it for its name. And <. That''s it, E! Even if the gauge is full, you can eat one more gauge, and the over gauge can be used as E! This is exactly what I was looking for!¡¡Simply put, the E! is doubled. I would like to learn it as a skill. --However, you have to play against Ikaruga from now on to get it. The two cards I chose are the highest ranks among those offered. The rank of the item you choose determines how long you can play with Ikaruga. It seems that even if you don''t win, you win if you run away with the game for the full time. Let''s run away from Ikaruga with all our might. I''m sorry. Tenshin-dono asked me to see what kind of person uses my sword. I didn''t think we''d be fighting before I told you. Ruba lightly bows his head, and Sakon also bows his head with his fists on his knees. Sakon will pay for the repair of the garden door. "It''s all right. It seems we have a chance to get the skills we want. Forgetting my fluffy troubles, I find it fascinating at the moment. The spearhead is Peter. "m....... Fast, huh?" Ikaruga-san, you seem to be a bit quiet, or your speech tempo is absurdly slow. Are you all right, Grandpa?¡¡I almost want to say, "I''m so happy to see you!" But, in contrast, their body movements and reactions are very fast. The difference is so great that I almost misjudge the pace. "Here''s your tea." "Thank you." We watch them play each other on the porch, sipping the tea that Butterfly has made for us. Peter is trying to escape. Under the condition that he does not go out of the garden facing the porch, he uses the pillars supporting the eaves and the stone lanterns as footholds in every direction. However, as time goes by, the skills used by Ikaruga become more and more difficult. Since many of the items of lower ranks were production materials, it may be that the first period of the game is not so easy for those who are mainly engaged in production. I wondered if it was possible to avoid them by flying in the sky ......, but then Ikaruga''s wide range of skills exploded! "Peter!" Peter''s H!? The bar doesn''t turn ......,red. I mean, I can''t see the bar. Safe. It''s hard when the range is separated, I was a little nervous. It seems that the time has come. is still extremely low, and it''s not good if you get hit by an attack. He is not good at showing himself from the beginning. "....... The effect has worn off." "Effects?" "Ikaruga-sama is in the middle of a bet with an ogre. He usually keeps his skills sealed until the time of the rematch, that he does. When the seal is broken, they will be temporarily enhanced. For now, the seals are still in place, and the skills are being temporarily released by using <>, that they are. When I asked Ikaruga, who did not seem disappointed, Kate gave me an answer. The effect of the effect had worn off, and the skill had also faded away. "Sealed ......" "Yes, that it is. The more I usually save, the more power I have, that I have." I can think of a very similar title. Please do. I face Ikaruga, who invites me without a break, with tears in my eyes. <> It''s not good, <>. It''s not going to be an all-night fight like the one with the sake-drinker, so I should have time to spare, but I''m taking all possible precautions. He will not get any experience if he does not defeat them, so he has no <>, and his <> is as good as new after Luba''s care. He is fully equipped without a mask, but he will wear one if the need arises. Black has left his bosom, and is now curled up on the roof in displeasure, away from people. "Take it easy, Homura-dono," he said. I nodded as Sakon approached me with concern. "It''s beautiful, your equipment. But I don''t think it''s suitable for fighting. ...... I hear Butterfly''s voice. I can''t help it, the equipment I have is magic equipment, but the reality is that it is the strongest. I need to get some equipment for melee. Like Peter, I''m confident that I''m fast, but I can''t do that kind of acrobatic evasion, and the more greedy I get, the longer it takes. Instead of running away, he should have used Ikaruga''s H! The second half of the game is the time to make the H! I think it would be better to cut down Ikaruga''s H! This is a challenge concerning the title [Emperor] and the . Do you accept the challenge? Boom!¡¡By the way, Ikaruga was a [former sword emperor]. "M....... This is " Ikaruga seems to have received some news as well. My escape plan is in trouble. "How are you doing, Ikaruga-sama, that you are?" "It''s been a while since I''ve had fun." Ikaruga does not answer Kate''s question, but smiles with a giggle. I want too, and my opponent is not the king. I don''t know how it will turn out, but even if I lose, I won''t be dropped by the king. I have no choice but to take it. I thought that Ikaruga and I were sword to sword, and he is a hard sword user, though not as hard as Shuten. He uses a thick, 5-foot-long sword, the o-tachi. He is less powerful than Oni as a human being, but he has many techniques. He would have been a favorite of the sake-drinker. After a few minutes of fighting, I was going to run away, but I inadvertently had a good time. Magic is flashy and useful, but the exhilaration is fleeting. Swords would feel the same way if they had the same flashy skills as magic, but what a waste. Unlike the sake-drinker, it is just barely possible to take and parry. But if he keeps doing it over and over again, the sword will not be able to keep up. The movement is getting faster and faster. Sparks from swords clashing with each other. He looks without looking. His eyes remain fixed on Ikaruga''s face, or rather on his eyes, and he perceives the whole scene. Everything seems to move slowly, from Ikaruga''s movements to his own sword in his field of vision. The movement is slow, like a Noh dance. There is not a moment''s delay or slackness. The presence, the smell, the sound, the vibration, the movement of muscles. Without seeing, seeing, seeing. Sword, body art, evasion, swordsmanship, mind''s eye, carrying, leaping, and staying in the air. The skills are well combined to lighten my body. I look at Ikaruga''s face, but what I see is the vastness of space. I ducked the sword that swung down on top of Ikaruga''s vermilion-swept, bloodied face, and pulled out my body as it was. He has acquired the title of "Wandering Strongman" for defeating the former Sword Emperor . I have acquired the skill [Gekka Mochigetsu] for the first time by clearing the highest rank of Ikaruga. <. Ikaruga staggered and sat up, crushed in a heap, hitting a stone lantern. "Ikaruga-sama! "Stupid ....... Ikaruga-sama!" "I heard you were a magical swordsman!¡¡What the hell is going on? "Amatsu-sama, this can''t be ........." "...... surprised me." "That''s what I''m talking about." He hears some commotion on the porch in the background, and uses a < on Ikaruga. Two levels have been raised at once. Was it just before the level was raised, or was Ikaruga''s experience unparalleled? Maybe both?¡¡All but VIT are now in the triple digits. I won''t be surprised to see any more status gains. Cloak appraisal result. Hand armor appraisal results [......mm] ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ Increase...

Awareness of obstruction. "Mu....... That''s what I''m talking about." "Thank you." He holds out his hand and wakes Ikaruga up. "Thank you for the sword fight. Many young people these days like to use their fancy skills." "My pleasure. I''ve always had a few sword skills. You''ll have to get used to using marks. They walk side by side to a stone in front of the porch to remove their shoes, and talk as they walk. Even if they have fancy skills, I have a feeling that they will cut off all the while they are still in the process of putting them on. As I take off my shoes and put them away, a black figure comes down from the eaves of the house and tries to sneak into my bosom. He moves lightly, but I wonder if his wounds and his physical condition are good now. Well, I don''t mind if he stays in private. I''ll take a dip from time to time in exchange for rent. The longer he stays away from the city, the more powerful his attacks become. The skill [Gekka Mochizuki] is a death sentence, or a spell that deals continuous damage for a certain period of time to a wide range of areas and deals continuous damage to allies'' H! and heals allies'' H! Skills such as "pronouncement of death" are easily resisted as a promise. Like [Momiji Nishiki], it is suitable for recovery in large scale battles (alliance) and long term battles. --I think Peter is thinking the same thing. "Homura-dono ......!" Sakon looks like he wants to say something and stops. Was it that or the samba?¡¡Is it Samba?¡¡Before I revealed myself to the Flame Kings, their thoughts were tainted with samba and lambada when they tried to think about Homura (me) being Lengard (me) due to the <>''s thought blocking. In Fuso, it would be Bon Odori, Yosakoi, Hanagasa Ondo, and so on. I''m sorry. Sakon suddenly holds his nose and apologizes in a slurred voice. His nose is bleeding between his fingers. "I guess I''m a bit of a muztli, aren''t I?" Peter says with a nice smile. When I say "muzzled"... "Dirty." "You''ve got it all wrong!¡¡Never remember Momiji-dono''s thighs. ...... fugu." When I say the next word simply, Sakon turns bright red and panics. In addition, he is bleeding heavily. "Did you see Momiji''s thigh? I haven''t seen it yet. "What!¡¡You haven''t yet!¡¡No, no, I didn''t. I didn''t want to see it. I saw her and Amane fighting, and it just happened to be in my sight. ......" "What?¡¡Don''t you want to see it?" "Uh, no." Sakon is slack-jawed. "You two, there are women here too!" Peter, who had started it all, coolly admonished him. "...... Homura-sama, you are very strong." Butterfly''s eyes are a little cold, perhaps because of my imagination. "Yes, Homura-dono is strong ......, ugh!" Sakon cowering again, holding his nose. I hope he doesn''t bleed to death before we get out of this house, man. <, I have a feeling it will come out again soon, so I give him a towel and get out. "Homura, get the sword. I''ll take care of it. He hands to Luba, who seems to be in a good mood. The durability of the sword has been reduced a lot, probably due to the fact that it has received Ikaruga''s hard sword. 65/100, with [indestructible], the basic value of the durability is not reduced, but the sharpness of the sword is worse. Should he have taken it with the peak like he did with Shuten? No, Ikaruga''s sword is a little lighter than Saketan''s, but it is superior in skill. There is no time for that. He is relieved to see that he has not used it in a way that would unnecessarily reduce its durability. After all, the maker is watching you. "......How, this is the sword you hit with. Nice." He receives the sword that Tianjin gave to Luba and takes a look at it. Next to him, Hu butterfly is also looking at the blade of the sword as if he is devouring it. I was nervous that she might criticize me for using the sword, but she didn''t speak to me and the three of us were quietly enjoying ourselves. "Homura-dono!¡¡I too hope for a rematch, that I do. With swords!" Kate offers a rematch. I thought she was a wolf, but she might have been a husky. Her sparkling, expectant eyes are like a dog''s that expects to be walked. Is that what this is, a daily morning and evening walk?¡¡I''d consider it if you''d let me lean on you. Peter: You''re out, right? Homura: Hmm? Peter: Upright bipedal walking is out. Homura: ...... Peter: Only lovers and young girls are allowed to mofu with that. Homura: Young girl: ...... Peter: Even if you change it now, you are still just a pervert as long as you have the image of that figure. For a moment, I thought of the arena, and then Peter nailed me. d*mn you, ......! "If you beat Peter..." It''s too much trouble. When I tried to put Kate on Peter''s back, Peter refused without a pause. After all, even after the betting period is over, Amane still comes to take revenge from time to time when she is with Peter, so there is still a lot of noise at night. I wonder why not during the daytime, but Amane seems to be busy during the daytime, and Peter seems to be more convenient for him in terms of titles and skills at night. "Well, then, I''ll be happy to visit you at the place where you are staying, that I will! "Don''t do it. Any more chaos and Sakon will cry. I''ll go to ......." Peter''s small voice of surprise made Sakon cower in a puddle of red water as he followed his gaze. "In this case, the murderer is Homura?" Peter smiles at me with a fresh smile. "I''m not dead yet, I''m not dead yet!" "How are you, Sakon-dono, that you are? "Kya!" ....... For a while, I was busy treating Sakon and sweeping the floor. I should have made a for life magic. I''m glad it''s not tatami mats, but there''s a pool of blood on the floor. --I wonder what Kate''s skill of detection is. If it''s just [sense of presence], the user can complete the task by himself, no need of a sign or tools, but Peter said it''s the same for the other side that he "planted the bomb" on us. So maybe it is something that works through a tool like my <>, or something that works outside of the tool using <>. I wonder what it is? "Not a chance in hell." "No." He throws a denial at Sakon, who lies anemic and ashamed. "A very late puberty for the monk of the west. I thought he was a simpleton, but he can be a pain in the ass. "Why this ......?" Sakon replies weakly to Tenjin, who strokes his chin in amusement. "Well, you''ll have to go to a brothel or something. Don''t go to a cheap place, you''ll lose your nose. "Master!" Butterfly, who brought a wet hand towel, chides him. Peter: It''s mainly Homura''s fault! Homura: Excuse me, excuse me. Peter: Sakon and the others are watching the competition for all intents and purposes. Homura: It wouldn''t be a problem if you would stop thinking about it. Peter: You''re being absurd, but why is your method of cognitive inhibition going in the direction of hilarious?¡¡The disincentive I had Homra put on me, fear and loathing, that kind of thing. Homura: I wonder why ....... Let''s just get this out of the way before Sakon dies. Peter: If we don''t, we never know when or where he''ll bleed to death. "Sakon-san..." "Yes, sir?" When Sakon looks at me, I put on a mask. "......!¡¡Lengard!" Sakon tries to get up with a start and lies down again. You don''t have enough blood. "What is it, that it is?" "When he wears the mask, he calls himself Lenguard. It has a cognitive blocker that prevents it from thinking when it tries to connect me to Lengard. That''s probably why Sakon''s nose is bleeding." < on him. "Please don''t tell anyone that I''m a Lengard. Well, I don''t recommend you to tell him because if you try to know him half-heartedly, you will end up in the same situation as Sakon. Sweet and sour mitarashi dumplings, sweet red bean paste dumplings topped with sweetened red bean paste, and strong green tea. After that, Sakon and Kate asked me a lot of questions about this and that, and we took a break and had a snack. I served the dumplings, but Hu butterfly brewed the tea for us, as Tianjin seems to be a tea ceremony master. A sunken hearth was set in the center of the tatami room so that tea could be served at any time, and an iron kettle was still making a shushing sound. While we were talking, it turned out that Ikaruga was quiet because she had been alone for years during her training, and that the reason why everyone didn''t talk to her much was because of her [high energy]. I didn''t notice it, but Ikaruga seems to have a severe atmosphere that prevents her from talking to anyone. "Can''t you get him to back off?" "MU....... I don''t know much about it except for the sword skills." "Ikaruga-sama ......" Kate is puzzled by the fact that she is learning about her master for the first time. Correction, she doesn''t seem to want to put much effort into anything other than swordsmanship, and she doesn''t talk much. "My dreams and longings are ......" "Give me a break ......" "Not at all, that I can assure you." Butterfly, Sakon, and Kate are damaged by our conversation. "Homura-dono, what kind of skills do you prefer to put on your sword?" "Hmm?" Asked by Tianjin. "I like the [Zanmagic Growth] on the <>." The attack power is reset after a break, but the attack power is increased by the number of demons slain. It is just right for when you are mindlessly hunting strong demons that appear from time to time. What about the type that activates?¡¡Over here, it''s normal to add a skill or two. There are other ways to add skills that you have, but they are usually material-dependent and powerful. You can''t do it all the time. I have too few on hand to choose from. Ikaruga just thanked me for fighting without using my skills. "What about the <>?" Ruba finishes cleaning the and holds it out to us as he asks. ....... By the way, I got another one before the tournament. I didn''t forget about it, it''s just that the requirements for equipping it were very strict. ....... "I''ve raised my level after the battle with Ikaruga earlier, but I still have a long way to go." "I think you started at ......70, how old are you now?" Two up, 41. Far away. < is rank 65, and the equipment condition that normally starts at level 65 is nullified by [equipment rank restriction removed]. The <> must be equipped from 70, which is higher than the Gekkage. It is a sword that uses the same << Moonlight Stone>>, but it does not have the [Equipment Rank Restriction Cancel] because it lacks the material <>, which can bring out the characteristics of the sword. It will not be available until level 70. "I thought that ...... level up is very fast. No, it''s fast." "MU....... Not half, but a quarter, maybe even a fifth." No, wait. Ikaruga, what level are you?¡¡If you don''t have [Sword Emperor], was he a special character that you can''t play against normally? Cloak appraisal results [I have a feeling that he doesn''t think about how many times his status is multiplied. Hand armor appraisal results [......mm] ....... Hey, isn''t this terrible? Even if Ikaruga is more specialized in swordsmanship and has a lot of status corrections than other swordsmiths in the same level range. Even if Ikaruga had something similar to a dragon ring. ''s correction is for status. And, I don''t know about this, but <>''s effect is to strengthen titles and skills. ....... "I don''t have enough training ......" The frightening thing is that they are absolutely winning in terms of status, but they are close to even. Perhaps, his [swordsmanship] is too low. Thinking about it, I could not control my evasion speed at the beginning of the battle, and sometimes I slipped. This is no good. I should lock myself up somewhere for a while with this equipment and get used to my physical abilities when I am fully equipped. Cloak evaluation result [You''re going to that conclusion? I have a feeling that this is the case. Hand armor appraisal result [......mm] 202 - - Training? "What the hell are you doing?" "...... what is he doing?" A few days after that. I started to stay in the mountains with Ikaruga. I have started, but my living space is separate because of concerns about the "tipping point". Long log-outs were made by people restocking the general store and returning to the garden. I was worried that I might not be able to return to Fuso, but the function to transfer to any person''s location from the list of partner cards with <> was effective. I may have escaped from Fuso''s boundary by using <>, but I was safe. I looked for a good place to get my usual place to sleep away from Ikaruga''s base. Since this was a training trip, I decided to take food locally as Ikaruga and the others had done. The first thing to do was to secure a water source. We found a river, or rather a mountain stream, and headed upstream. Water is used not only by me but also by animals, so the upper reaches should be cleaner. After finding a water source, we find an open area with a higher elevation to make an encampment in case the water level rises on rainy days. During the day, they have a battle with Ikaruga and Kate in the early morning, and at night they wade through the mountains and fields. In the real world (?) I guess there is a side of mental training by staying alone, but unfortunately, when I log out, I go to work as usual. Ignore that part. Kate spends most of her time while Ikaruga is in the house, according to him, doing espionage work. He says he doesn''t do anything in particular, but he feels uneasy if he doesn''t gather information. This time, since I''m here, he is at least visible throughout the daytime. Peter, whom I haven''t seen for a while because of a shift conflict, comes to visit me. Peter comes to visit me and says the following lines. "I''m having a lot of fun." What had been a lean-to is now fitted with walls made of thin layers of wood, and the gaps are filled in with mud mixed with fallen leaves, and the level of [carpentry] has been raised so that a normal lean-to has been built. ....... The long and narrow basket traps made of carpentry were used to catch wild boar and rock fish, and to kill black ball boar pigs, boars, fire stags, and water deer to secure meat. Seri, mushrooms--the usual gathering of food. Wild boars are in season from autumn to the end of the year, when they eat plenty of nuts from the mountains and accumulate fat in their bodies. However, it is also the season of love, so the adult male boars have a strong smell and their fat is hard and armor-like for fighting, which makes them less tasty. The fatty female boar or the less fatty but less smelly baby boar are tastier and less fussy. For bathing, stones were removed from the riverbank, a hole was made, water was poured into the hole, and roasted stones were thrown into the hole. It is quite nice to take a bath while listening to the sound of the river flowing and looking at the moon among the treetops. It turned out to be a very comfortable base. It''s amazing how easy it is to achieve so many things, skills, and status!¡¡Production at Fuso is almost completely manual work, but it is almost impossible to omit. "I guess I''ve lost sight of the purpose." "I am glad you understand. I thought you were going to live here permanently because you even built a hut in such a short time." They talk while exchanging skins and other foodstuffs for the meat and other ingredients Peter has on hand. It''s time to get off the mountain and rejoin society. I''m getting off track too much, and if I stay here any longer, I might start building a sukiya. "Skill, did you get up there safely? He talks with Peter as they descend the mountain. "I have improved my basic swordsmanship skills. I''ve also inadvertently raised my level by one." In addition, VIT, MID, and AGI each increased by 1. The result of my training!¡¡--This amount will go down if you slack off, so be careful. In addition, the title of [Solitary Practitioner] is acquired. The effect is that when you are solo, H!? The effect is the same as that of [Solitary Adventurer]. The magic level is low, so unless you use it a lot, you will not be able to use M! s recovery is no longer necessary unless the magic level is too low. "It''s good to see that the experience level is raised so much. "I''m just humming and hawing." It was fun to play against Ikaruga, but it was also fun to run down the roadless path. It''s a question of how far you can go without slowing down while instantly judging your footing and cutting down the demons. At first, my legs almost got tangled with my speed as I ran down the path, and the footholds I chose were fragile, but as the distance I could go increased, I became happier and happier. I also remember being threatened by a woodpecker early in the morning. "The second group is coming, but you are ahead of them all. "Oh, by the way, can I invite only one person?" This server is full. Well, the other servers can start from the default state, so that''s good." You cannot choose this server unless you receive an invitation from an existing player. I have also received an invitation passcode by e-mail. "I got [Kumoyozangetsu], but I don''t have a ninja sword. Oh, I''m sorry for getting it for the first time. They visit Ikaruga and his friends to greet their descent from the mountain, where they have another hand-to-hand combat. Peter is also playing against Kate, so he should have received the same skills. "No, I wouldn''t have come to Fuso without Homura in the first place. Kate gave me the [Cloud Night Lingering Moon], but Ikaruga can''t officially play against me until he defeats the other <> or has the title of [Sword Emperor], I''m afraid. "I wish I could have gotten it from the fight at the House of Tianjin. --I wish I could have gotten it from the fight at the House of Tianjin. There must be one each in the east, west, south, north, and west. "That seemed to be a fixed event to obtain items. I wonder if the enemies in the north have some kind of life-sense or something, or if too many of them are coming close together so we can''t go there to see them." Houses named after a direction have their dominions in that direction as seen from Koto, as the name implies. The mountain where I was is the territory of the Saike family. Apart from gold mines and other places where rare minerals could be extracted, the territory''s residents and mountain people called "sanka" (mountain folk) could come and go as they pleased. I have already received a "Koyonishiki" from Sakon, so there are only five more to go. However, there are some skills that are effective only with the corresponding weapons, so it seems that you don''t need to fight against all of them unless you want Ikaruga''s skill [Tsukihana Mochigetsu]. Amane also seems to have a skill of small sword. Unya Zangetsu] is for ninja swords, a black blade appears from behind the target when slashing, adds fear, and has a low probability of instant death. It is possible to use it with a real blade from the front, but it can also be used against enemies at a distance, making it a bit tricky. Since it is a skill exclusive to ninja swords, it would have been nice if Peter had acquired it for the first time. "Homura, you forgot to update the information on status concealment." "Oh, I completely forgot." I have made a fake status information which is displayed when a person is given a normal [appraisal], but I forgot to update it. "Most of them won''t be able to do [appraisal] themselves because of their level, so it should be fine." That being said, Peter can at least see the false status, so we must be careful. But I have a feeling I''ll forget again: ....... In larger towns, wooden doors are closed at night in small streets, restricting movement through the city. Sakon has a wooden letter that allows access to the wooden doors at night, but only within the territory of the Nishikage, but only the inns along the main street are open at night. I guessed that there must be some nighttime-only events in the liberated areas, but I have not found them yet. Peter seems to have finished his work and came to show his face before going to bed, and logged out here. Now what shall I do? All right, let''s find a hot spring. I want to relax after my training, though I think I was just doing my hobby when I said I was training. Speaking of relaxing, let''s go to a hot spring. I stretch my arms and legs in the bath of the inn and think about my plans for tomorrow. A covered bath is nice, but an open-air bath is better. I will look for an inn with an open-air bath and good food. I am very glad that I was able to persuade the cloak to treat my towel as if I were completely naked. The next morning, the innkeeper tells me that she recommends a snow-covered hot spring in the north, and that it is just in time for spring, which is just around the corner. Just when I was thinking of heading north, looking for early spring foods on the way, I received a text message from Ukon. He told me to come pick up the items he had promised. For a moment, I wondered what he was talking about, but then I realized that he was talking about a letter of introduction, so I flew to Koto. It is said that there are mansions in the territory, but the four families have mansions in Gangtok as well. The mansions of the four families are located around the white-walled castle, which stands in the center of the city of Edo Castle. When I arrived in Koto, Sakon took me to the Nishi family''s Nakayashiki. It should have a more informal atmosphere than the Kamiyashiki where the head of the family resides. ...... When I announced my visit at the entrance, Sakon himself, not a servant or a young party member, answered the door. He is our guide today, but his face is a little stiff. It might be after a nosebleed. Is it too much for the people of Fuso, who usually do not eat meat, to be offered liver?¡¡What other blood-thickeners are there? "Homura-sama, we''ll have a vehicle ready for you soon." "A vehicle?" I was expecting something unusual, but what was prepared at the gate was a palanquin with a sliding door, just like the one the lord would ride in a daimyo''s procession. Well, this is something unusual, too. A palanquin with sliding doors is called a . In Gangtok, instead of horse-drawn carriages, boats ran along the waterways, and between towns, palanquins ran between them. The palanquins of the common people were made of bamboo and mats, probably because they were light. Perhaps because they replaced horse-drawn carriages, they were very fast. I felt a little embarrassed to go through the city in a black-lacquered palanquin, but since I could not see who was riding in it from the outside, I gave up and quietly got into a palanquin with tomozoroe. Sakon, too, was dressed in a haori and a half hakama, which looked like formal attire. And, although we somehow, somehow knew it, we were headed for the castle. At the third gate, Sakon got off the palanquin and walked on the white gravel with five attendant samurai. At the third gate, Sakon and his five attendants disembarked from the palanquin and walked on the white cobblestone steps. And from the entranceway, Sakon and Sakon are alone. Well, I don''t know the etiquette except that you shouldn''t step on the heels of tatami mats. It would be easier to stay in the mountains. I followed Sakon who remained silent except when he got off the palanquin. Whether he had been warned in advance or not, he went deep into the castle without meeting anyone. As we walk down the quiet corridor without a sound, we hear the occasional rumble of thunder. "This way." Sakon told him to enter the room, where he found a guest in a miko costume wearing a raven hat, who bowed lightly to him. She bowed lightly. "I''m working on a few things right now. Please wait a moment. A woman in a miko costume offers me a cup of tea and sweets while announcing in a beautiful voice, "I''ll be back in a few days. "What do you mean you''re in the middle of something?" Sakon asks the woman. "There are demons in the house." There are yin-yang masters and priestesses here. Are you a big shot?" Sakon frowned at the woman''s words. "Yes, that one." The woman opens the shoji door facing the garden, and the sky is finally covered with black clouds... "What is it?" The sky looked as I expected, but there was a black cloud unnaturally low, and above the cloud, which sometimes flashed with lightning, was an ogre with its hair standing on end, spitting flames from its mouth. The demon is scattering thunderbolts, but they seem to be deflected by the warding and do not seem to reach the building. It''s hard to tell for sure because of the distance, but the yard and the walls look like they''re in a bad way. "Lord Thunder! Sakon gives a small shout. "What, Red Plum?" "Homura-sama, a demon in a rage of resentment cannot control itself. Stay away from them. I am here to keep the demons away. The Northmen, who are the source of our resentment, are not in this room, and as long as it is not too much trouble, we will be able to ....... What are you doing? No, I thought our eyes met. I waved at him. ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ...increase...

I have offered to prevent the aftermath so that you will not be bothered, but I would like you to feel a little threatened yourself. The woman tells Sakon, not me. "...... sorry." I made Sakon apologize. I wondered if I should apologize too, but when I awkwardly looked outside, the black clouds were still there, the lightning was gone, and there was no sign of the red plum blossoms except for a small demon bouncing around. "You wanted to see me, Homura-sama?" Red Plum appeared as a black blotch in the corner of the room. She appeared before me in her usual neat appearance, wearing a crown. "What ......?" The woman hurriedly holds up a sakaki (sakaki) - a sacred sakaki with paper strips on it - to the red plum blossoms. As soon as she held it over the red plum, the white paper turned brown as if it had been burnt. "Hiccup! A scream escapes from the woman''s mouth. "The room''s warding is intact, how could it be uninvited ......?" As Sakon looked around the room and muttered to himself, I quietly acquired the [sense of boundary]. I had put it off until after I leveled up, and had put it on hold even after I had obtained the skill points for it. As soon as I acquired the skill, I found out that there are some very strong wards all over the castle and in the rooms. Well, it seems that the idea is to draw them by showing them rather than hiding them. In addition to these assertive wards, we can expect that there are other types of wards in the castle that can be noticed only at higher levels. For the sake of his own chastity - which should be safe in the end, since he is wearing pants - and to contain the [inclination], he has for the time being mastered the warding that separates him from the outside world. The existence of the wards is obvious, sound leaks out, and I can''t prevent the intrusion of anything higher than my level. I will have to raise my skill level more to be able to create wards that will be of practical use, but it seems to be somewhat beneficial to have [sense of warding]. "Homura-sama called your name." It seems that he noticed my presence because I mentioned the name of Red Plum. It was not my imagination that I thought I saw her eyes on me. Red Plum smiled thinly with her mouth covered by a scepter while her eyes were fixed on the woman. Are you harassing her by putting pressure on her to fight against you? "You interrupted me. You were in the middle of something exasperating, weren''t you?" I''ll talk to him to distract him. In the meantime Sakon whispers something to her and the woman quietly leaves the room with a blue face. If I am not mistaken, she seemed to be scared to the teeth, but I hope she is all right. "It''s just a habit of mine when I come here. I''m sorry for my appearance." It was customary. The most powerful ghosts are usually those who have been wrongly accused of crimes they did not commit or those who have been treated unfairly. The more guilt the viewer bears, the more intense the vengeful spirit becomes. The more the viewer is indebted, the more powerful the spirit becomes. The more powerful the spirit becomes, not only because of its own mind, but also because of the fear of the people around it. If the Red Plumbers seem to be holding their own grudge, I would like to do something about it, but it is something that seems to be rooted in history, and I am not sure if it is a problem that can be dealt with by individuals, or if it will disappear once it is quelled. I am not particularly interested in inciting or actively stopping the Red Plum from taking action to settle their grudge. I have no intention to interfere in the matter without knowing which side is at fault or why it happened in the first place. And I have no intention to expend that effort on a stranger. "We can''t ask you to hold off a little longer. ......" "No, I don''t think so." He casually refuses Sakon''s request. "If I could do that, I wouldn''t be a demon. "But you are in your right mind now." "Yes. Beside Homura-sama, the thought-burning resentment, the skin-burning bitterness, and the bile-burning anger that I couldn''t manage by myself are mysteriously quenched. ......" Red Plum and Sakon look at me, and I involuntarily look at the list of titles I don''t understand. ...... or is it H!? I thought that the main effect was continuous recovery, but I didn''t think it would be this [healing by moonlight], which says something like "makes you feel sad and tender". "There is a title that says "because of this... ....... If your mind becomes calm, you will become a Buddha?¡¡If you don''t like it, I''ll seal the title." In that case, I''m going to have to drink <> regularly. Gghh. "I don''t mind. Besides, a kobold may disappear, but I and sake-drinkers are more in awe of people now. It is rather stronger than anger that drives us mad, isn''t it?¡¡-although it''s doubtful that the drinkers, who I doubt have any idea in the first place, might not change." I wonder if Fuso has a Dazaifu Tenmangu Shrine: ....... A powerful and irrepressible spirit of enmity is made into a god, and the fear of the people is turned into awe, and replaced with faith and sealed away. When their own grudge and the fears of those around them are gone, they are finally appeased, and disappear when the people have forgotten them. This is the image of a grudge spirit, but in other words, it will never disappear unless people forget it. "But still, it''s a title, isn''t it? Not only Momiji, but even Kojiro-dono, who drinks a lot of sake and likes to touch people, has given his name. I don''t know what kind of title it is, but I''m sure the demons like you, Homura-sama. "It''s not very nice to be liked by a title. Let''s look at the status, shall we?" I''m a little curious what kind of judgment Fuso Oni, who is familiar with the [inclination] of the nine tails, will make on my [inclination]. "Homura-sama, you must not trust anyone in Fuso who calls himself a man, including myself. Even if they are trustworthy now, there is no guarantee that they will turn against us anytime under the influence of the Nine Tails. I do not recommend that you reveal your hand lightly. I was admonished. Red Plum looks like a scholar by his appearance and his fondness for books. I would like to meet Al, the researcher type. We wait for a while in the room with only known faces, eating sweets. I quickly shake hands with Black who shows his face with the snacks. I asked him if he was in the general store during his training, but he ended up residing in his pocket. Ikaruga and Kate told me that I had a strong back and a strong core when I was moving as much as possible without affecting my pocket. I don''t know how it works in terms of swordsmanship, but my upper body no longer shakes when I walk, and I can now carry a cup of tea that I''ve poured close to my mouth without spilling it! "Kaname-sama is ready." The welcome party has arrived. She is dressed as a miko, but she is a different woman from the one before. Before the arrival can see her, Beniume has disappeared, leaving behind the words, "I think it would be better if you didn''t see me. "Is that necessary?" When I ask, the woman stops moving for just a moment. "I''m talking about Ukon-sama. Ukon-sama doesn''t mind, or rather, he might miss you, but here I will give you the honorific title. As I had expected, he seemed to be in a troublesome position. I follow the woman with the candlestick down the dimly lit corridor. A mansion with many rooms would have a tsuboniwa (small garden) to let sunlight into the interior rooms and corridors, but there was no sign of such a garden. The fusuma (sliding doors) are closed on the left and right, and the room is quiet. Walking down the long corridor with no change in scenery, one feels as if one''s perception of either space or time has been disturbed. "You have arrived, sir." Finally, a room surrounded by a tatami hallway appears in front of the room. The woman walking in front of the room sits down in front of the sliding door and calls out to the inside. "Come in." A voice of Amane comes from inside, and the woman opens the fusuma (sliding door) to invite the guests to enter. Beyond the threshold is a dark floor. Pitch-black clouds are swirling, changing their density. They are horizontally blocked from where Amane is sitting, as if they were made of glass. No, it is blocked horizontally from the flat stone on which Ukon sits, within the boundary of the shimenawa (sacred rope) that connects the four sacred bamboos that surround the center of the room. It takes courage to step into a place where one cannot see the bottom. from yellow hydra, < from red, and < from green. Only when you meet a rare species of hydra, the route, also known as the heavenly scale route, appears at random. Nothing to worry about, until the 35th layer, the guilds in Baron had a lot of information, though not abundant. Once the route is opened, or rather, after defeating Veeble and registering the transfer plate, the remains. In my case, the < disappears from the green branch, but it is not a problem because I can go there from another route. So I expect that Tasya''s beast, the serpent of the end, <> is here. E!" and step into the 40th layer. I ran through the layers to see if I could find any hidden rooms or anything, but there seemed to be nothing in particular. I wonder what Tascha means by the shallow layer. ....... We don''t know how many layers there are in the labyrinth. The labyrinth is ochre-colored, dry and crumbly, like a crevice in the rock. The enemy is a chimera dragon. It had the head and wings of a dragon, the arms of a thick beast like a tiger, the legs of a goat, and the tail of a snake. When the Chimera Dragon kicked the wall and flew at you, you were cut in two, and its body was thrown backward, splitting to the left and right with its momentum. Then, as if nothing had happened, it stuck (?????) to me and kicked the ground and jumped at me!¡¡It''s regeneration ability is unbelievable. No, is this what you call regeneration? I wondered if it was not a slash attacker. When I released the magic, it stopped moving for a moment, but then a chattering, electrified effect covered my body and the same magic came out in the form of a breath. The enemies along the way are suddenly getting too strong!¡¡According to the guild''s literature, the guild said that the guild gets stupidly strong from the fifty-first layer, but there are still layers left!¡¡No, maybe it''s weak against the striking attribute or something like that. Shin is supposed to be here, but there is no Shin! Chimera dragons can fly, but they seem to get their speed by kicking against walls and the ground, so they aim at the goat''s legs to avoid them and take away its mobility. I turned around thinking that it would regenerate immediately, and unexpectedly found the chimera dragon sprawled on the ground. Is it a synthetic beast with a weakness at the seams?¡¡Once you know what you''re doing, it''s easy. Fortunately, they jump on you from a high position, so it''s easy to deal with them. When you open the treasure chest, you will find a poisonous snake that makes you wonder how it got stuck in the chest, and there are several traps that cannot be detected by [presence detection] or [thread]. I don''t know if they have the [Attention Dilution] skill or the [Creeping] skill, but small dinosaur-like creatures called Raptors, which are also not caught by the [Attention Detection] skill, creep up on you in groups from many directions and attack you. It is clearly modeled after a Raptor, though it is scaled without feathers. I have no idea how the path to the end of the serpent < is prepared, so I proceed, being careful of any paths or tricks that even the title [Jet-Black Searcher] does not understand. Expect to open a box even though you know it is a trap, or to find a key after a snake comes out of a treasure chest. The snakes have been gulping us down so much that several kinds of poison resistance are now on the list of available skills. Poison that [holy law] doesn''t work, poison that medicine doesn''t work, poison that [holy magic] doesn''t work. Is this a sign that we should prepare multiple means of recovery? I was poisoned by multiple poisons, and the number of H! I felt the coldest today when I was poisoned by multiple poisons and my H! The passage you are walking now is the longest straight line in this hierarchy with many turns and branches. The first change is a faint pattern carved into the rock surface. Then, reliefs and pillars appeared, giving the passage the atmosphere of a cave temple with its walls excavated. Cobblestone floor and rock-cut decorative walls. The dented decorative wall would have looked better with a sculpture, but in fact it is a torch with an extinguished flame on a candlestick protruding from the wall by a brace. The ochre color of the sandstone on the walls and ceiling is blackened by soot. The projecting candlesticks are used in old stone castles and churches to hold torches or candles and to throw light into corridors and rooms. The use of torches may have been in the absence of candles, or it may have been because they were brighter than candles, but either way, the burning dregs must have been terrible. For Japanese who lived in wooden houses, it would have been an unbelievable outrage to use torches indoors. The next thing you know, the floor stones are black and there is no sign of the enemy. <> that sometimes comes into view appears to glow faintly. I think it might look fantastic if I invoke [Elegant One] at this point, and continue on, thinking stupidly. This is a title with an effect that came as a free gift when I acquired the running method. When I first got it, I used to enjoy the effect, but now I seldom use it. Leo seems to leave the dust and sand effect on. We go down a long corridor, relying on [mind''s eye] and [sense of presence]. The corridor comes to a standstill when I start to think that it''s time to use light magic to emit instead of bothering with it. I put out a light to see if there is a relief like the shrine where Verus had been. Since it was dark, I turned the lumens down a little so as not to be dazzled. ...... lumens was too bulbous an expression. I reduced the luminous intensity like the light of the moon to make it gentle ...... lumen is fine. It''s Latin in origin. Safe to use in a fantasy world. The wall at the end of the passage had no pictures, no patterns, no carvings, no nothing, just a hole. A stone wall showing a rough surface blocking the way or a dead end. The hole is at the bottom of the wall. The ceiling is so high that it is about the height of my waist. < Now, what is this hole?¡¡I tried popping one of the magic stones in, but it couldn''t follow me with the string, even though it couldn''t have gone very far, and the sensation in my fingertips told me that the narrow hole just kept going and going. It was as if I had forgotten to make an end to the hole. It''s not really a bug that you forgot to make, is it? I put the cat''s paw table in front of the wall and took a break to think. If the use of the hole I thought of is correct, the wall may disappear and we may suddenly have to fight a boss, so I put the cat''s paw table in front of the wall and take a break while I think. H!? M! should be full by the time you finish eating. This time, I had a bowl of rice topped with salmon roe. The shiny orange salmon roe is the roe of a sunset salmon given by Leo. I made both salted and soaked in soy sauce. I enjoyed watching the slightly cloudy white color turn back to bright orange in the lukewarm water used to break the salmon roe from the musuko (salmon roe). Be careful not to let the water get too hot or it will remain cloudy, and it is not easy to remove the skin and muscle, which smells fishy if left on the surface. The salmon roe marinated in soy sauce is poured generously over warm rice. Sometimes I reset the lingering taste in my mouth with miso soup with takuan (radish) and aosa (aosa seaweed). I might as well put sea urchin on top of the rice. After the happy meal, we have after-meal tea. At this moment, I call out "white. "You are eating something again, aren''t you? I serve him tea. "E!? E!" He recovers. The search is over, and we''ll either have to fight a boss or go to a new area. Well, it might be a dud and we''ll have to go back. White, who seemed to be satisfied when I explained the current situation to him while pretending to be a good guy, observed his surroundings. "Is it okay if I don''t call out the tail girl from last time?" "Just White today, please." "Hmm?" He looked at me a little suspiciously, but did not ask me anything in particular and started drinking lukewarm tea. After the drinking party, the Flame Kings apologized for Haruna''s outburst and left, saying they would try to calm her down. At that time, they said, "Haruna''s outburst is probably because she feels at ease because she thinks Homura is a N!¡¡Why don''t you just tell them that you''re a player, not that you''re a homura?" Shin told me when he woke up after sobering up. Yes, I had the same thought. I noticed that I had a lot of skinship with the residents and was close to them, though not with the players. Camilla''s breast against my arm is also a perk of being in this situation. ....... Is Lapis Noel (child) safe?¡¡No, I wouldn''t let someone sniff behind my ears in the real world, let alone hold me. But it''s not from me - I''ve been thinking a lot about whether I discriminated against the inhabitants as N! It is a trap that I am going to be swept away by my desire. "Nice fur as always!" He gets up on my lap, puts his paws on the table, and looks annoyed at me as I lean on the white one drinking tea. His long fur is endlessly soft and fine, yet tangle-free. It feels strange, like it''s cold and warm at the same time. I have a desire to fluff him, and I never stop. Well, you know... It''s not that I discriminate, it''s just that I''m close to them from the beginning. When you get to know them well, women and even men who are friendly will cross shoulders with you or lean in close for a private chat. I''ve seen a resident on the street pinched and stretched the cheek of a player who seemed to be his friend, and I''ve seen a player hugging and kissing a little girl. No, the latter part is a case to be reported. I don''t really care about them anymore because I''ve been healed by blowing white. The social morals of the real world are applied to the players, and my personal morals are applied to the residents. In short, the same as ever! Cloak appraisal results [I have a feeling that you should build a harem while you''re at it. Hand armor appraisal results [......mm] I won''t make it, and I can''t make it! 239 - - The Crulcan Standing in front of a hole in the black wall. In his hand is the key to the labyrinth. A wooden, plain-looking staff with no ability to fight, given to him by Tasya. "Zvobo!" "Don''t make any funny calls." With a shout of encouragement, he plunges his cane into the hole while being prodded by White. The cane stops when it is halfway in, but there is no change in the wall, and it is unlikely to go any further. "Is that not right?" When I removed my hand from the cane stuck in the hole, the hard, dry skin of the cane fell off, and a shiny young sprout emerged from the tip of the cane. With a loud bang, the torches on either side of me lit up, and one by one they lit up as if they were following the corridor I had just walked along. The figure of a winged serpent appears on the wall of the dead end, which I thought was just a flat surface. The reliefs illuminated from below by the torchlight, combined with the cloister like a grotto temple, tickle my curiosity. "It''s quite spectacular." "There are many changes going on here, too. White''s words drew my attention away from the relief and back to the cane. The cane begins to creep up the wall with thin roots that glow strongly in places, and the young shoots transform into tender branches. The glowing roots quickly erode the wall, and when they reach the winged serpent relief, the branches and twigs all sprout glistening leaves that emit a dazzling light and disappear along with the wall. Beyond the place where the wall used to be, you enter it to find crumbling masonry, roots of trees swallowing it, and sharp objects like broken obsidian of various sizes. "Hit it!" When I touched a stone twice as high as I was, it did unexpected damage. And it''s poisoned. "What are you doing? "No, I''m just wondering what this is. If I can get damage just by touching it, I guess I shouldn''t step on the fine stuff on the floor. It''s what you call a damaged floor!¡¡Not that it matters to me because I''m floating. I recover quickly and proceed carefully this time to avoid touching the sharp stones. A path of light magic appears after my path. I realized on the way that it is supposed to be used by lighting it on a wand, but I guess it''s not. is recovered from the user. While white is being summoned, M! I thought that the white summoner should have consumed M! The bar showing M! --If the summoner is a professional summoner, he/she uses M! is used when summoning, but it is not consumed during summoning, and one of them has a skill to make the number of party members uncountable. However, a single summoner is weak unless he or she can summon a summoner and a summoned beast. "I thought this was a boss room. ....... The enemies are also not good. Plenty of atmosphere, though. The wall again as you go through the damp and a little chilly. In the middle of a rugged black wall of rock that looked as if it had been solidified by melting lava, there was a feather buried, though it was too large at first to be recognizable. I wondered if this stone was something else, or if this feather could not be burned (??????) by the heat (??????) of the lava, as I felt lava would burn it. Buried in the stone is a winged serpent, this time a real one, not a relief. I counted ten, but could not see the whole picture. This must be Kulkulkan. I have produced enough light to illuminate the upper part of the snake, but it is so large that the whole image cannot be seen unless I move a little away from the snake. The body of the snake in view is half buried in the rocks and entangled in the roots of trees. The roots seem to be growing again and tightening up Kulurkan''s body, and black scales sometimes crack and fall off. "I thought they were stones, but they are Kulurkan''s scales. "You have a troublesome opponent." It seems that the black stones in this room were fragments of Krulkan''s scales. It''s poisonous, no matter what you think! "That looks painful." Bahamut''s wedge looked painful, but it also looked quite painful when it was loosely tightened. Judging from the state of the wedge, it is likely that he, like Bahamut, did not agree to send power to seal the hole in the boundary when he was sealed. If he agreed to this, he should be free to some extent in the seal. . >. < Somewhere I heard a voice, probably Tasya. The ceiling was too high to see but it echoed well, broken scales trembling here and there. The tremors spread to the walls where Kulurkan had been sealed, and as soon as a small piece of debris fell, it was followed by a rattle of large rocks and pieces of scales that looked like wavy blades. I fly high into the air to avoid them. > Now a low, broken male voice. It is probably Kulurkan''s voice, given the circumstances. . The lineup to paradise is terrible, but it must have been respected by the Maya. Why Krull and not Kukulkan?¡¡He invokes [Kuroyoh] and defends with <>, [Druid] <>, and [Time Magic] <> to himself and White. Meanwhile, the walls are shaking, and when you think black grains have fallen, a swarm of scorpions swarms. A vulture is born from wings torn free from the restraints of the tree roots. "White, if you''re in danger, come home." "Hmm. No one is faster than me. But I doubt if the anomalies will work on it. Before the scorpions and vultures could disperse, [Lightning Magic] Level 40<<>. In the blink of an eye, he crosses over the dense horde of scorpions, and a carpet of lightning is formed on the ground. The vultures seemed to be more resistant than the scorpions, and some of them fell down once, but they soon recovered and came back toward us. Ice Magic] level 40<. A large crystalline snowstorm blows, damaging the vultures and creating snowballs on their wings to hinder their movement. < Meanwhile, Krulkan is still wriggling around, injuring himself, trying to escape from the tree roots and gain his freedom. "Does this mean I should defeat it before it is completely free?" "There is no reason to wait until they are free." [Ability Lending] < [Ability Lending] [Ability loan] Ability loan] <> "It will not help much if you go around crushing scorpions and vultures. Come on, let''s go! Every time Kulkulkan shudders, scorpions spring up and vultures fly in flocks. They kick the sky to Kulkan''s side. The combination of [carry], [leap], [aerial movement], and [aerial action] has now been optimized without any particular awareness of their use. It is just like when you walk, you are not conscious of how you balance and which muscles you move. Aiming at feathers with apparent mobility, avoiding tree roots as much as possible. > It seems to have had the opposite effect, as the roots that bite into the scales split them apart, tearing them apart without regard to the blood that flows. As the rocks rattle and crumble and a cloud of dust obscures my vision, the fine shards of scales scatter over a wide area. With nowhere to avoid the attack, he hurriedly uses his sword to knock off the flying scales one after another. Some of them are only grazed, but relatively large pieces are lodged in his side, on his ribs, and on his thighs and knees. The barrage is thick, please stop it! "...... hurts." You''re defending me, you idiot! "No, well, you see, there''s my head, too." I''ll make excuses. The shield of firm ground is not suitable for preventing such a series of attacks because of its limited number of times it can be used. I should have brought out or , even though they are low level magic. I tried to keep the shards above the chest and close to the white color, but I was too conscious of them, and I got some of them which I could have prevented. Normally I would have avoided it by myself or quickly returned to my back, so I have little to worry about white. However, during the period of [lending ability], White''s ability that I lent to him has been significantly reduced. Thanks to Kuroyoh''s defense, there is almost no damage when he is hit by a small piece of shard, but he receives continuous damage of [laceration] and [poison] from a shard that has pierced him. Moreover, unlike the scales mentioned below, these shards are not poisonous but poisonous, and I wondered if they had Kulurkan''s blood on them or something. The number of H! Neither medicine nor magic works because the shard, the source of the [laceration] and [poison], is still stuck in the body. For a moment, I thought about gouging out the pieces that I couldn''t pull out and applying recovery, but I decided to just take a medicine that would have a continuous recovery effect. Even though I have a pain tolerance, gouging out my own flesh is not a fun thing to do. Sacred Magic level 40<> also heals continuously, but the wall of tone deafness stands in the way, so I can''t use it. No, it may be normalized by the game''s compensation, but I''d like to try it when I''m alone at least. When the dust settles to the extent that visibility is restored, the freed Krulkan appears. Most of the floating <> is gone, as if the debris had some sort of magic-destroying effect. Kulurkan''s scales may repel magic - we observe the giant serpent with this in mind. Though free, it is a painful sight, wounds all over, and hardly liberating. With this line, several stone disks rise from the ground. "Well, I wonder if I can defeat this one." The effect is that the plant withers away from the enemy for a certain period of time until H!? and M! and M! for a certain period of time until it withers away. The target is not Krulkan but scorpion, and it works well against insect enemies. It sprouts and produces an orchid-like flower, but the parasitic root is quite nasty to look at, so it is not usually used. There are so many of them that they more than make up for the damage done by the medicine. Fortunately, it''s dark enough that I don''t have to worry about what''s underneath. H!? This will not be a problem for a while, but sometimes it is painful. I hope the effect will wear off soon, because the pain is not so bad that I can''t move, but not so minor that I can ignore it. The disk that floats just above the ground stays there. I thought it was something for the enemy to attack, but it is not. Is it a scaffold for non-flyers to fight against Kulurkan? It occurs to me, but I don''t have time to try it. I cut down the vulture that lunges at me and kick the air again, closing in on the now free Kulkulkan. The first blow he struck did not knock off the left wing, but it seems to have reduced its function, and it is now flying with a slight tilt. The shape of the wing suggests that it is not flying according to realistic logic, but there seems to be no doubt that its wings are capable of flight. However, since they are not a pair of wings, it is better to think of them as a way to take away maneuverability rather than to bring them down to the ground. When you reap a vulture and aim a blow at the thinnest part where the scales are damaged as possible, the blood spurting from the wound takes on the shape of a shark and comes at you. Just as he hurriedly brings out <, the pain from the shards hits him and he stops moving. Fortunately, the shark is blocked by the and cannot reach you, but you feel a twinge of relief at not being able to move while the attack is imminent. "It''s not good to be in pain when reflexes are required." Would this be a good time to get used to the pain?¡¡No, you get used to the pain in preparation for the boss fight, I told myself. "White!¡¡Come on!" I feel a tug on my stomach, and I look at my stomach to see White pulling a splinter into his mouth. The poisonous splinter burns White''s mouth. Slowly, Krulkan began to fly around me, gaining speed and closing its orbit. White struggles to pull out the fragments without listening to me, and I hurriedly unleash the [Grand Cross Sword] at the approaching Krulkan. "[Descent]!¡¡<<<<<<<>!" Quick words chanted in a hurry . God help us when we''re in trouble! "You ......" Cloak appraisal result [This is terrible, I have a feeling...]. Hand armor appraisal results [......mm] 240 - - The Images of the Gods "You''re overstrength by any measure!" "I was in a bit of a pinch, so I panicked." Ever since I had invoked the gods, a spherical ward of sorts had appeared around me, repelling the oncoming attacks of Krulkan. When I restored White, who seemed to be frozen in this safe zone, he began to preach to me as if he wanted me to sit down right there for a moment. "What''s the trouble?¡¡You E! is just a little bit low!" "M! is down, too." That''s because you''ve been aroused! Can I have a paw-punch and a white, paw-punch? To invoke one god, you need to invoke M! to invoke one god. It takes a thousand M! The amount of M! It seems like a small price to pay for only M! And when you summon them, three of their possessions are randomly lost as offerings per one of them. It is quite thrilling, and I am glad that Wyvern''s coat is safe. This time, green curry, green tea, sake, beer, pickled plums, pudding, a saved steak of Narikaku beef, a cake set, and so on were lost. What is random ......? No, the Wyvern harness is gone too, so maybe I simply carry too much food around and have a higher chance of hitting it. In fact, I carry a lot of things that I don''t use in battle, taking advantage of the [storage]. Let''s put it that way. While we were arguing briefly, a sort of distortion appeared in the center of the boss''s room, and soon it took the form of an old man with a long beard, and then it grew rapidly and exceeded the size of Krulkan. The face was expressionless, and although the figure was certainly Tasya, it seemed to be something else. The color and the robe he wears are smoothly folded as he moves, but the impression is almost that of a moving statue of the god Tasha. When Tasya strikes her staff at her feet, shining trees sprout and branches grow on the ground, on stone pillars, on floating plates, and everywhere else. The dark and damp surroundings are transformed into a forest of fresh greenery. And then all the newborn trees disappeared, their leaves shining in Krulkan all at once. Kulurkan''s dark green light flashed, indicating that he had inflicted some kind of an abnormality on the trees in addition to the damage he had done to them. The second was Asha. Suddenly a huge sword clad in flames slashes at Kulurkan, and then a strong man in armor - for some reason he has no chest or stomach equipment to show off his physical beauty - appears, and this time he slashes the sword to the side. The whirlpool of flame-red cloak that fluttered and swirled around him shrouded him, and the whirlpool shrank in size and disappeared. I was amazed at how fast he worked. Perhaps the world''s image of Asha is one of straightforward, direct action, or perhaps it''s one of elimination of unnecessary things. I was worried about the flirtatiousness of my worries. ....... Third is Dru. A small old woman wearing a plain stole on her head emerges from the earth, and before I knew it, White and I, who were supposed to be floating, were moving in front of the old woman - Dulu. She is wearing a stole deeply over her head, and we cannot see her face, except for her eagle nose and wrinkled mouth. Dulu holds out to me a slightly reddish, transparent, peach-like fruit with her knobby hands. I reach out my hand, and before I can take the fruit, Dul suddenly swells up and his stole falls to the ground. In no time at all, Dru has grown to the same enormous size as the previous two pillars, and her figure has changed into that of a beautiful, voluptuous woman, as if she were a fertility goddess. I notice that the scales that had pierced my body are gone, and that I have been granted increased defensive power. Dru raises her white hand to her chest and gently grips the empty sky. Kulurkan''s body contorts and screams as if something has tightened its grip on her. The glamorous beauty watches him, then disappears with a smile that may or may not be hers. Goddess scary, usually (?). It''s not my fault that I felt more at home with the muscular father of the farmer. "I''m coming!" The clear voice of a boy soprano rings out, and a boy with loose, curly blond hair falls from above, raising a large mallet. Kulurkan falls to the ground, falling prey to the hammer with the same force. Luscha''s action looks comical and cute with stars scattering in the effect. When Luscha smiles and points her hammer in my direction, her weapon and armor gain increased abilities. Lucja watches and disappears. Who are you? It''s not Ruscha who doesn''t have a black smile. "She looks cute, but I wonder if it''s okay that Krulkan looks like a pressed shrimp ......?" "You don''t want me to be all right." White is calm. The fifth one is Fal. A drop of water falls from the sky, and when it hits the ground, it breaks and forms a crown of water, ignoring the mass of the drop, and the water spreads across the room. When it subsides, in the center of the water from which the drop has fallen is a lovely, fragile girl who seems to be about to disappear into the water. The water rises into the shape of a fish like a sweetfish, and when it jumps and returns to the water again, Falu disappears with a clean smile on her face. The next thing you know, H!? The continuous recovery of H! The sixth is Val. A gust of wind blows, and a silver-haired beauty appears. She is wearing a mermaid skirt with a mermaid line fluttering behind her, her front is split at the knees, revealing her white bare legs and a fascinating smile as she blows on Kulkan as if she is kissing him. Maybe there is something wrong with that, but I don''t know what happened because Mr. Kulkan has not been moving for a while now. Note that the scorpion and the vulture have disappeared by the time of the tasya. I''ll open the menu to see if there is some explanation when I use them. Oops, Fal also has H!? It seems that Fal not only heals but also revives. Useful ......?¡¡Where''s the use? Well, the amount of recovery and the duration of the effect are unbeatable, even if it is only continuous recovery. Val''s effect is an imperceptible confusion. It is said that the user loses control of his body and skills when he heals an enemy while trying to attack, or when he shoots sideways while trying to fire in front of him. It seems to be a very funny effect, which can be quite terrible, such as a fierce fight with each other or a decisive attack on oneself. "I don''t think Mr. Krulkan is breathing. ......" "Think a little about what will happen if you use it based on your status and the degree of compatibility with the gods!" The seventh is Verna . The space that had been glowing faintly in the afterglow of the descent of the gods turns pitch black, and the darkness is cut into a white crescent shape. A slender woman appears before it as if blotting out the darkness. Her meltingly white skin, illuminated by the moonlight, contrasts with her black hair. Her small open mouth and moistened eyes, which glow even whiter and drown out Verna''s figure as the crescent moon turns from a bowing moon to a full moon. The effect is to lower the mind and inhibit action. The target''s H! 1, it is said to make it easier to capture (tame) even bosses without any question. The last one is Verus. A strong light falls from above, and when it reaches the side, it spreads explosively, and when it subsides, a young god with shining golden hair and fine eyebrows appears in a robed figure. In his hand is the great sword of absolution. Above Krulkan, a large balance befitting his massive body appears and tilts. The balance is a symbol of justice, the balance without the sword is powerless, and the sword without the balance is violence. But I feel that Mr. Krulkan''s life is zero, and I wonder if it is justice that pushes him to the edge. I''m the one who sent him down here, so I''m the one who is justified!¡¡I''m about to make a play that says, "I''m not going to do it. While I''m thinking about that, Verus swings down and leaps up with a sword of absolution that is far more powerful than anything I or Galahad could have thrown. It seems to have a binding effect as well. The body of the leaped-up Krulkan burns up as it falls and crumbles in flames. Before it reaches the ground, half of it flies away as a bird covered in flames, and the other half turns into ashes, spreading on the ground by the impact of the fall. The next thing you know, it''s bright and somehow a field of corn is all over the place. Male flowers pointing straight up sway. Corn is the staple food in the mythical land of Kukulkan, which is also a fertility god. It is a common mythological motif that grain is produced from the corpse of a fertility god. I got the title of "Eternity in Search of Knowledge" for my first solo battle. I have acquired the skill [Learning] that accompanies the title [Eternity in Search of Knowledge]. This information will remain confidential. "It was pretty bad." You tell me. < < Tasya''s voice echoes again, emerging from the cornfield. Corn leaves are very sharp and can cause a lot of damage if you are not careful ......, I wonder if it is safe. Two pairs of winged staffs appear in front of Tascha, all black and floating in the light as if guarding the top jewel. The fist-sized jewel looks like a rounded diamond attached to an English scepter and is green in color, reminiscent of a forest. "Semi-instrumental, please." I choose without understanding. I think that a perfect instrument is a cane, but what is a semi-instrument? . As I received the staff as it moved in front of me, the color of the jewel changed. It was a beautiful color with a pinkish glow, with a blue background and a blotchy shine. When it entered the shadow of the corn, it turned red with a hint of black. It seems to be a jewel that changes its color depending on the degree to which it is affected by something. You have acquired a half-artifact, a staff of Krulkan. As I stare at it, the staff turns into a winged serpent that looks like a smaller version of Krulkan and flees into my cuff to escape Tasya''s view. I guess it''s a kulurkan, not a -- like. If I choose a perfect vessel, it will remain a cane, I suppose. "...... I didn''t bring this on myself, though." Tascha''s face becomes delicate, as if the event is over. "Rather, he is running away from the cause of his failure." ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ More... Title. [Eternity in search of knowledge Skills Learning ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ 241 - - The Routes "I''ve just been freed, and now Kulurkan is going to become a shut-in." Whose fault is it? White is just cute when he paws at you. The title [Eternity in Search of Knowledge] makes it easier to learn skills not related to your occupation. Basically, the skills of the first job are the easiest to learn, and some of them can be derived from the first job, but the ones that are not even in the job do not easily appear in the list of available skills. Skill [Learning] is a skill that becomes more effective when the same skill is used continuously. The same skill as the enemy''s skill is also acceptable. It is useful when fighting enemies of the same type as yourself -- I want to try it on Babel and Horus in the arena later, but it is troublesome and annoying when they get involved. And then there''s the semi-weapon <. It seems that the weapon with the most combat skills at the time of defeat is chosen as the weapon of choice. In my case, I am the one with the most magic skills, so I guess I got the long staff. The strength of the staff depends on the status of Kulurkan. It seems to grow with each battle. It is said that Krulkan helps you in various ways when you are out of combat and not taking the shape of a weapon. It is treated as an item, but like pets and spirits, it is said that it can escape. I wonder if it is possible to raise its level by calling out to it? If you choose the instrument <>, it is powerful from the beginning, but its ability is fixed, and it does not escape. And it can be charged with one of the skills used by the enemy. The condition for charging is that you must be attacked with the staff equipped and the enemy must be killed. It may be a little bit subtle when you are soloing, but it is a useful item for a party, since it does not say that you can''t kill the enemy. I didn''t choose this item, so I can''t use it, but keep in mind that players may start using the boss skill sooner or later. "You have five sealed beasts in your army at last! "Will it?¡¡I''m basically free-range." Tascha''s words confuse me a little, I don''t feel like I''m following him very well. "I don''t know about Hasfarn, but I didn''t expect a dragon to be attracted to people. I honestly thought that when Verus tied him to a man, he would either slip out of it or remain in his armor until he recovered. At the point where Hasfahan is about to leave, the white guy on his shoulder turns his head away. Myspheres have been hunted for their pelts and their numbers have plummeted. On the other hand, they were close to people''s lives. "Beware, the weakening of the seal has stirred up the finer things. They may be drawn to you by the presence of the beast. "Fine?" I don''t think there''s any way ...... that the event could have progressed because you attacked five of them or something like that! "They are the servants of the one called the Evil God. Their purpose is to bring all boundaries to nothing, and a beast with a track record of creating fissures in the boundaries must be fascinating. "No way, kidnapping ......" White, who is as silent as ever in front of the gods, kicks me in the back. "Your chosen path is also a dangerous one, two sides of the same coin. By the way, about the foodstuff I talked to the other gods about before..." "Is that okay?" Suddenly we''re talking about foodstuffs!¡¡Foodstuffs are more important to the gods than evil gods! "It was loose to begin with, rather the seal is stable now that the beast has been pulled out. It would be fortuitous if the boundary can be repaired before the seal expires. The restoration of the boundary will be covered by the memories of the presence and the blood spilled from the snake over the years. The excess energy may be used to create a new serpent. The land of the seal is also a place with a lot of magical elements, and they may soon gain strength and run amok, but that''s nothing to worry about. It seems that it is a trivial matter for a beast to run amok in Tasya or for a household member of an evil god to run amok in Tasya. At first I mistakenly thought that they were sealing the beast, but it seems that the main purpose is to seal the fraying of the boundary. I guess it is more correct to understand that they are sacrificing the broken beast by sealing it together in order to repair the broken boundary. Still, I have a feeling that there is a riddle to be solved nearby, such as a boundary or an evil god, or that there are many hints given, but I am not sure what they are. I have made a new path in the labyrinth, and now that you have come this far, you may proceed. We will stop by soon. Tasya''s figure fades and the corn shows through. "The choice of destination has been yours since time immemorial. Was it the room that last heard the voice?¡¡Is it in my brain?¡¡It seems that there is a mystery after all, and that we are supposed to get there on our own. But first, a new route? As Tascha disappears, the corn kernels all come into full bloom, their heavenward-pointing apical stamens sending pollen into the air. "Geez!¡¡White!" "Hmm, this is terrible." Wait a minute, how can so much corn pollen fly!¡¡No, it might be because they are flying all around us without any time difference, or it might be a fantasy increase. In no time at all, the pollination is done and the corn starts to swell up. The pistils, also called silk threads, turn from yellowish green to brown. "Oh, it''s time to harvest!" The aim is to get plenty of whiskers, and since whiskers are pistils, they hold as much fruit as the number of whiskers!¡¡I hurriedly reached out and plucked it off, but when I reached the third one, it stood white and withered and disappeared. "How did you manage to harvest it under those circumstances? White makes a disgusted sound. "<>. It has a high rank. I''m glad we made it in time. Was the corn empty from the tip of the cob up? "Let''s take a break." Here? "Now that we''ve come this far, we might as well keep going, which means we might as well start here. It''s worth looking for." It is highly possible that the title is not even attached to it, but Tasya''s phrasing is worrisome. It may mean after the forty-fifth layer of the labyrinth, but it would be worth checking. The labyrinth is still growing, according to the material of the Guild of Baron, but I wonder if this is what he meant, or maybe not. I look around and see a completely collapsed pile of stones and pieces of black scales, back in the room of the trees. I tried to poke them with the tip of my sword, but most of them were stuck in the ground and didn''t move at all. I was able to move a few small pieces the size of my fingers, so I set up the table so that the legs of the table are in the gaps created by the debris. It would be nice if the objects could also be <. I picked up the things that moved and tried to give them to Peter as souvenirs, but I accidentally touched them and poisoned myself. I used a tool to move it out of the way!¡¡You''re too careless, self! The snakes in the boxes along the way were biting me all over the place, so I had no choice, but the scales were poisoned by a single hit, even though I was supposed to have a high resistance to poison, including poison by virtue of my title. It''s not a very poisonous one, and the damage is not that much, but I wonder if it has some kind of resist disable or something. I wonder if it has a resist disable or something. I''ll pick up more later. I have Liddell learning [throwing]. For now, though, we''ll take care of the white. I''ll remove the pollen and the things I''m covered with with [life magic], wrap them in a steamed towel and rub them together like a rubbing motion. Why don''t you take care of yourself too? "[Life magic] is useful, isn''t it?" "You ......" He serves black tea with orange and sprinkles other whites on it. I also had a cup of tea with orange on it. I also grab an egg sandwich to recover my E! It is an egg rolled with mayonnaise and mustard. The loss of the unicorn steak has made me crave for meat, but there is still time for the return of White. I glance at the egg sandwich near the cuff, and Krulkan makes a little appearance. Can I eat it?¡¡He looked at me as if to say, "I''m sorry, I''m sorry, I''m sorry, I''m sorry. Mr. Krulkan, you are in my sleeve. I tried not to look at the cuff as much as possible, but it seemed to be munching on the food. When I glanced at him, he took the last piece in his mouth and pulled it back into his sleeve. The result of the cloak evaluation [I get the feeling that this is a case of an egg sandwich stain on a sacred object. Hand armor appraisal result [...... mmm] Don''t worry, the white equipment the gods gave me is perfectly stain-proof and dust-proof. < While White finishes his tea, I wait for him to finish it and begin my search. As I stand up, crumbs fall from my cuffs, but I pretend I didn''t see them. My main goal is the wall where Krulkan was buried, but I throw the pieces of scales into storage and look at the crumbling masonry in my path. <, so I decide to recover it in one go later. Should I buy gloves? As expected, there is an entrance to the food route in this room. It was not located at the main wall, but at the base of a large tree that had swallowed the crumbling masonry at the end of the room. The reason why there was no response from the [Jet-Black Searcher] that tells the location of the hidden doors and stairs in the labyrinth was because the entrance was open as usual. However, the edge of the room is not a favorite place to stay because of the scaled pillars protruding from the walls as well as the floor. After entering the room and walking a little while avoiding tree roots, we came to a room with a familiar transition plate. "Well, it''s really here, isn''t it? I''m glad you found it." It''s a pity that they said they would stop by soon, but there are no results. We log out for a break as White returns. He took a bath in the real world and logged back in! And again E! Recovery. I served freshly cooked rice in a small bowl, sprinkled with green onions and shiso leaves, and quickly simmered thin slices of beef left over from the banquet of the gods in my homemade sukiyaki sauce.¡¡And then crack an egg in half and put it in!¡¡Donburi. The last of the Ikkaku beef, in the great hope that there will be more beef ahead! When you put it in your mouth, the tender meat rolls around your tongue and the white rice is delicious. You can mix the egg yolks of the balls and mee with the orange color of the egg yolk leaking out of the white. To refresh the palate, pickled daikon radish with spicy sweet vinegar is served. The new route will have vegetables as well as meat, Dulu must have participated. Vegetables purchased in Fuso are of high rank, but I am sure that the deeper you go in the labyrinth, the higher the rank will be. I am looking forward to it. ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ...increase... [Descent] <<> ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ 242 - - 240. Get ingredients 46-layer food route. When we stepped into the forest, our hearts were filled with excitement, and we found ourselves in an early spring forest. Tiny yellow-green young shoots and buds still covered with bud scales were mixed together. The sky was an indistinct light blue, a spring haze, even though we were in a dungeon. At my feet were some dead plants with a whitish-brown color, snow-white and watery black soil remaining in the shade, and between them, spring grass just starting to sprout. And something that is threatening to turn its leaves. Rank 56 Type Demon H!?¡¡H!? /?¡¡ M!?¡¡? /? Attribute Earth Weaknesses ? State Dru''s Blessing Remarks Blue whip wild garlic. A demon whose scales are filled with nutrients and the delicious taste of spring. The blessing of Dur has made it strong and tasty. It was a wild garlic, and a demon. The name is an ingredient. ......?¡¡And where there is a level, there is a rank, and it''s treated as an item or a material. ....... Can you bless demons?¡¡No, if you care, you''ll lose. In the labyrinth, the number of levels plus 10 is the enemy''s level, so you can assume that it is equivalent to level 56 like other routes. Scales are a kind of stalks, or subterranean stems, buried underground. In the real world, a nobile is like a small type of rakkyo, but the one in front of me right now, waving its long leaves around, is bigger than me, or rather longer. They grow in clusters in delicate positions where their leaves do not intertwine with each other, and they block the way with their long leaves waving from the ground. It seems like a hassle to get close to them, so I use [Wind Magic] Lv.40<<> to weed out the waving leaves. Some foreigners seem to misunderstand that Japanese people see green as blue because they say "green vegetables" or "green traffic lights". It is said that blue, white, black, and red are the first four colors to be distinguished in the Japanese language, and green has also been called blue for a long time. It is a little strange that there are 451 traditional colors, but the distinction of colors from an older era remains in the language. Yeah, and why is it growing back even though I mowed it down? Since there is no use in escaping from reality, I <> once again, close the distance with [shrinking ground] before the whip-like leaves grow back, and stab my sword at the ground where the scales are. It seems that the main body was in the ground as expected, and I get the drop <> as expected as well. Wait, what do you mean by "youth"? After pulling out the body, we give it one more blowjob, and poke fun at its naming sense. Another one seems to be too much for him, so he leaves. All that''s left is to repeat the same thing and get rid of the rest. <, a was dropped. Although it is labeled as a whip, it is an item, not an equipment, but what is it used for?¡¡At any rate, we learned that they seem to drop something other than food. We should defeat as many of them as we can find space to proceed, but if we can get foodstuffs, we have no choice but not to defeat them. I continue my simple work for a while. When I found a drop of <>, I stopped attacking and looked at the menu to see that <> had been added to the demon dictionary with a NEW mark. It is said to be a rare monster sometimes found among the blue-whip garlic. It is a trap that is hard to distinguish even from the letters. But I''m glad to know that I often use garlic for cooking. I would like to have some garlic sprouts. You can fry them with beef liver or roll them with pork. But I thought it would be too late in the season, since they are called "buds" but actually they are straight stalks with flowers, but they dropped as usual. Good service! were the harder ones to drop, so I circled the same places to get the right number, waited for the blue whip garlic to come back, and beat them all up to get to the next level. It seems to be faster than the last time, but it is probably because I had many battles in the proper level range. I am looking away from it as much as I can because of the unbelievable increase in LUK. There is a collection point in this layer as well, where <> and <> can be found. Sometimes a flower or two of quick-tempered flowers are found on the branches, and if you break them off, you can get an item. It seems to be a treasure chest in this area. I was in the mood of walking in the field in early spring, when something strange popped out from behind a tree. Something twisted like a whitish club hit me with its whole body!¡¡When I hurriedly avoided it, the ground gouged instead. Rank 56 Type Demon H!?¡¡? /?¡¡ M!?¡¡? /? Attribute Water Weakness ? State Blessing of Phal. Remarks Cod. A demon that has lost its water content and is full of flavor. Blessed with the blessing of Falu, it has become strong and tasty. This is not the codfish I know!¡¡In the real world, cod roe is made by drying cod in the sun to preserve it, and its flesh is so tough that it is said, "You can drive a nail with a cod roe. Not three or four, but three or four of these larger enemies of the codfish float in the air and attack one after the other. They attack with a club, though no one is holding it. Can I cut them after putting them back in water?¡¡I''m going to break my knife. No, Ruscha''s knife can break ......!¡¡No, it''s not an ingredient yet. It''s called an ingredient, but it''s not an ingredient. I''ll use the water ring to impede the cod''s movement and calm it down. Every time the codfish moves around in the water ring, more rings are formed, and every time a ring pops, the codfish is damaged and bloated. The process seems to be the same even if it is not a foodstuff. So you put it back in water to soften it and cut it?¡¡If I am calm, I think I can cut it without softening it thanks to my title of [Sword Emperor], but since I am tormented by the fear of spilling the blade due to my knowledge of the real world, it is not much trouble and I should soften it with the water magic method. In the real world, a friend of mine who did not know about the water method has had an incident in which he used a saw to cut a piece of wood. If he were a normal magic swordsman, he would use his sword to slash with the magic. Enchantment] is now on the list of available items, so as a magical swordsman, I should take it. I''ll get it!¡¡The idea came to me and I got it after the battle was over. It is not that I was worried about normal (party) combat due to frequent critical hits. Magic is less likely to get a critical, and I will live as a magician when I am in the public eye. When I got [Enchant], I was opened up to level 8 at once. The enchantments of each attribute that I originally have are just lined up. Well, it is not a bad thing if you have both enchantments and the corresponding attribute magic. Some enchantments are only available if you have the corresponding enchantment. Codfish dropped < and weapon <>. I think the << club cod> is a joke weapon, so I''ll give it to Shin or Leo later. Weapon Holding] is now at Lv.45. The number of weapons you can hold is increased by one and you can deploy four weapons at the same time, but the performance of the weapons is negatively compensated as before. The more I level up, the less the negative effect will be, so I will keep three weapons for a while until I level up. "Krulkan, will you become a staff?" I put away the white cane for enhanced recovery and run my fingers up and down the left cuff where Krulkan is hiding. I want to check its performance and maybe level it up. Kulurkan comes out of the cuff and rests his hand on my palm. As soon as his body is all out, he turns into a walking stick. He is surprisingly calm. He tries the on the codfish that comes out again. I have not counted them seriously so far, so I don''t know exactly how many there are, but they seem to be one or two less. You are losing to the staff of Julius the boy, the sealed beast. Well, it''s only level 1, I thought with a sigh as I defeated the pole-cod, and suddenly the level of the staff went up by 5. "Could it be that, unlike the Gentiles, there is no experience loss due to the difference in level?¡¡No, is the limit loose up to level 30?" I ask the cane, but there is no answer. Since he has not spoken since he ran into the sleeve, it is not clear whether Kulkan is unable to speak because of the cane or because he is too weak to speak. Kulkulkan''s staff can be strengthened either by leveling up the whole staff or by using skill stones. A cane is strengthened by giving Kulrukan a stone of a skill that can be released by the cane or is strengthened by the cane. But how is this done?¡¡Do they eat stones like Reno?¡¡I would like to try it, but I don''t have any magic skill stones. I have a feeling that the enemies in this area are tough unless you have long range skills, but so far I''m making good progress. Since then, I have obtained <--> from a bee demon with Val''s blessing called a honeybee. As the name suggests, it has a beautiful golden color. And now we are facing the long-awaited meat. It''s a cow, <> Oowa-ushi. The nose ring of the cow is so big that it acts as a shield. They also use their shield skills. Since it is a common practice to kill a bull by "flashing" it around the neck while avoiding it, it does not matter if the bull uses its shield to defend its front, but if it uses its shield skill while it is rushing, it is impossible to slip past it due to the shield range. It was a bit tricky, but we adjusted it so that the shield skill of Oowa-gyu is triggered by a long-range shot, and the shield is cut off during the rush. The rest is as usual. We hunted for cows with all the vigor we could muster, and obtained a variety of meats, including the loin, thigh, fillet, belly, and shank of a big wheeled cow. We also got offal and the usual drop of horns and skin. It''s not as good as the rank of meat the gods gave us at the banquet, but it should be good enough!¡¡The most important thing is that we can now use it without worrying about how much is left. Not that I was influenced by Shin, but I get excited when I get meat. After that, we have been collecting ingredients steadily, and finally we are in front of the door that leads to the boss. Now, would the boss be a cow, a bird, or a vegetable? I was looking forward to seeing what would come out of it, and I was getting excited as I went to the E! I finish recovering from the E! This time, it''s hot fish and chips, which can be easily eaten standing up. The fish is crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside, served on a paper plate with a baked potato. Malt vinegar, tartar sauce, ketchup, curry flavor, etc. are available, but this time I sprinkled more salt and a dash of lemon on the chips and bit into them. It''s easy to eat, tasty, and very satisfying for a meal outside. I quickly finish my meal and open the door to the boss''s room. I''d be happy with a pig, since I have a lot of meat from boars, cows, and lambs. The higher-ranked beef is also hard to throw away, and the upgrade of fried food is also good. I sneak into the boss room imagining a meat boss, but why is there a Farfasi in front of me?¡¡Your name is , but you are Farfasi whom I met in the fantasy route, aren''t you?¡¡I can''t even see the remarks column, but it''s definitely Farfasi, isn''t it? Not only Farfasi, but also red crabs, white crabs, black crabs - crabs of eight different colors are springing up from all over the place. The crabs are captured with octopus-like legs and chewed to pieces. Something similar happened before the battle with Far Farshi, who we defeated with Galahad and others. ....... Well, it seemed to be an event at that time, but now it seems to be a prelude that Far Farshi will be strengthened if he eats the crab. I wonder if it is an octopus leg that is dropped. ....... ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ Increase ...

Strengthening the Stick A beautiful woman''s face that gives the impression of ceramics, with many tentacles (?) like octopus legs under it. . The legs are pale translucent and jellyfish-like in texture, but the liquid that fills the thick octopus legs is red. I have not yet met a normal Ferruginous Falcid, but I have heard that its body fluid is blue. One of its legs swings up and strikes me where I was just a moment ago. I have already avoided it by the motion of raising my leg, but there is a crab at the end of my avoidance. It is good that the crab is hard, as is promised for crab monsters, but the damage of [Isshin] will not be increased if I don''t know its weak point. So, I cast fire magic < on the roasted crabs, and all the crabs looked so delicious that they turned bright red before they disappeared. The drop is <. There were others, but the impact of the letters that caught my eye was like this: ....... I thought it must be a hairy crab, but I''m in the middle of a battle, so I''ll hold off on checking. What if the crab is wearing a long-haired wig? I run up the legs of Farfasi who attacked me again and attacked his ceramic-like face. My sword can''t do much damage. Still, it is made of the same material as Galahad''s sword, so it should do more damage than a normal sword. Farfasi does not have a high physical defense, but a thin material existence. It does not do much physical damage and works well with magic, for the same reason that physical attacks do not work on wraiths. Galahad and others said that once this face is broken, it will be possible to do a lot of damage with magic. They had come to Fast with Luba to have him hit them with a special sword in order to take down Fel Fasi with physical attacks. This is why seeing Far Farshi gives me a strange feeling of nostalgia as well as a little happiness. Last time, Galahad and Eagle had sunk him with a series of [Sword of Absolution] and [Sword of Absolution], but this time, I don''t know what to do. Should I get the < as a reward for physical downfall, or should I save it for the next boss that I have not seen yet? While wondering whether I should save it for the next boss I haven''t seen yet or not, I attack him again, this time with a magic attack on his face, and Farfasi starts spinning around like a spinning top. The tornado that split off from the body of the crab lays waste to the crabs. It seems to power up even if it doesn''t eat them directly. Although we didn''t pay attention to it last time, the higher up the Tornado spins, the bigger the whirlpool it creates, and the more it blows away the various things it has blown up. Thanks to this, attacks to the face are more efficient by climbing up the legs than by flying. Is he blessed by Phal? The cracks on his face disappear cleanly when he finishes his rotation. Either the crab has a healing effect, or it has been blessed by the gods like the enemies along the way and its ability has been enhanced, or both. Blessed ones are troublesome. Dokokusui. Earth muddies water, earth sucks water, always holding back the water that is about to overflow. I guessed that the blessing and the shape of the body are inclined to the water attribute, and used "earth magic", but it did not work very well. Its body (its head) is unharmed, and although its undulating legs are on the ground, its body is floating, so the [Earth Magic] that it remembers only damages its legs. <''s inability to act is also resisted. He recovers. A level 40 does more damage to Farfasi''s half-floating feet than a level 20 , which grows stones from below. It is a lot of damage, but it is still equivalent to level 20, and most of it seems to be healed. Unlike the recovery after the rotation described earlier, this seems to be an illusion magic. Shavons appear around the area, and when Farfasi touches them, they pop and heal. When I touch them, they are damaged. Burning is not good because the heat boils the body fluids. If stabbing is effective, I think of , and invoke [Dark Magic] level 40. From Farfasi''s own shadow, countless black shadow spears extend out and pierce his legs. They do not knock him off his feet, but they seem to deal damage all around. I had never used the same level of light before, so I invoked it, and <> countless spears of light rained down from above. Light and dark look and work like a pair. And <> will damage the main body. Huh?¡¡I''m seeing the effect of the spinning force. Can I use it with only dark and light?¡¡And while I''m thinking about it, it rotates. And recover. So magic damage to the face makes it spin!¡¡Observe while avoiding the tornado that separates from the main body and comes at you. I wonder if the damage is above a certain level, or if a magic attack will cause it to spin even a little. No, it might be a long-range attack, not magic, for the game convenience (gimmick) of making it climb up the legs. It seems that the recovery after the rotation is complete, and since Farfasi''s rotation cannot be done if he is short of some legs, it would be more solid to steadily drop his legs before damaging his face. However, as the number of legs decreases, the slamming attacks become more violent, and above all, they use [Illusion Magic]. It is impossible to avoid it because of its wide range of magic. M!? Drain and H! Some of them can be resisted, but they are hard to resist. I was able to resist charm and confusion, but poison, item use blockade, and disablement of movement were taken. Except for Shabon, which has a recovery effect, the other items seem to be used at random. It is lucky if the charm and other mental attacks continue, but it is hard for a solo player to recover from the abnormalities! If you are stuck, you will be eaten by octopus legs, and the crabs will try to pinch you with scissors. The crab will try to claw you with scissors and cut off your H! I burn the crabs, which have grown to a full number before I know it. It is good to have more crabs because you want more crabs, but if you are not careful, they will gather. While avoiding the octopus legs, I catch the drop ticker with a sideways glance. Of course, there are other ingredients such as <> and , but it is the names of the crabs that catch my attention. <<><>...... if it is Ooka Echizen crab ......? I feel like checking the crab drop a bit earlier, and questioning the management. Farfasi, with its enhanced recovery and abnormalities, is not good for soloing, and although I don''t feel the pinch, I''m not sure if it''s H! It takes a long time to cut down the H! Thanks to this, the baggage is overflowing with crabs. It is OK that the overflow from the pouch goes to <, but normally, if we don''t discard some of them, the boss drop would be discarded because the pouch is full. Aim at legs and crabs with magic attacks. To avoid damage to the face, I choose a single attack and let them go around. I don''t hesitate to hit the crabs with the whole body. I experimented with light and dark to see if I could get it to work. More spears of light than I had used earlier rain down, breaking Farfasi''s china-like face. It''s not as much as the six powers I used earlier, but it''s still useful. Farfasi stumbles as he tries to turn with his legs taken away. He wobbles around and then heals himself, but does not seem to recover completely. His face is still broken, so he can now do some serious damage with magic. It takes time, but if we''re going to do this, let''s do it with flair. The upper part of the magic I can learn now is mostly binding magic, and [gold magic] and [earth magic] don''t work well. Well, what will we choose? Once again a band of light appears around me, like a sparkling spell, and it slowly spins. I left the anomalies behind, avoided the legs, defeated the crabs, and returned to the magic of [Fire Magic] <<>. I am deeply moved to think that I can now use the level 40 fire magic that Camilla used. The center of the target is Farfasi''s head, and I sink it before it boils! An avalanche of flames flows over Far Farci''s head, burning it to the ground. The body, legs, and crab are all equally engulfed in flames. I have obtained the title of "First Solo Defeat of the Secret Red Illusionist. The [Red Illusionist] will be merged with the [Secret Red Illusionist]. I got the as a reward for my first solo defeat. Solo defeat of , a floor boss on the 50th basement floor of the labyrinth''s ingredient route. This information will remain confidential. I got Far Fasi Silk x4. I got the magic stone of Far Fasi. I got the Far Fasi drops. I got 5 octopuses. I got x 10 I got the . It was quite a war of attrition. It is stressful when you can''t move as much as you want, but when you win the battle, you feel a great sense of freedom. It''s all well and good, but I found a piece of evolution stone. I should be glad that I am not an octopus. The food was unexpectedly octopus. I think Galahad told me that magic can''t take down an octopus because it moves to recovery before it is downed, but does that mean it can''t be taken down by magic if it is defeated by heavy damage?¡¡ are out. And there are no <>, but ten <>. The <> heals MP by 15% of the damage inflicted and strengthens the spirit by 2%. I think the <> was a 10% recovery, so it is a 5% increase and an extra bonus. I wonder if it would have remained at 10% if it had not been integrated.¡¡The 1.1x effect does not overlap, but the % one overlaps as long as the compatibility is good. is in my pocket again. "Krulkan, I got the skill stone..." I hold out the toward Krulkan''s wand, and what had been a metal rod in my hand turns into something else, twisting around my arm. I am holding Kulurkan''s body, and his tail is wrapped around my arm. Even though I am holding the body, the restored Kulurkan is thinner than the staff, so it seems to be passing between my fingers in a circle. Kulurkan eats the stone I offer him. Though it is not a skill stone, Reno was also chomping on it, and the cavalryman also eats stones. The consumption of stones in the world (game) as a whole has become quite large, and the trading of stones has also become prosperous. It has become a stable source of funds for the low-level players and the production players who also engage in battles. Shin is getting food for Takeda, the cavalryman!¡¡But I was given educational guidance by Ochazuke that I should buy stones and fight elsewhere. Since our clan members are high level, it is more efficient to hunt in the proper level range and sell off the drops. I watch Kulurkan patting and eating his delicately cold belly, thinking that I''m glad the name of the dropped item isn''t <. I''m starting to think he''s pretty cute. Kulkulkan''s wand is now enhanced with . After finishing the meal, an announcement is made and we are informed that the food has been safely reinforced. Then I remember that Peter was looking for the illusion magic. Oh no, I forgot!¡¡Don''t worry, I won''t know unless you tell me!¡¡I''ll shut up and serve you crabs later! < <<< is a snow crab. <<> is a king crab that looks like the king of crabs and is a member of the hermit crab family. <>,<>--may be a mad crab. Rare or small quantity of <<>. After finishing his meal, Krulkan went back into hiding through the cuff. He seems to be completely withdrawn, and does not seem to want to talk to us. It''s still some time before White''s re-summoning, and I''m a little sad to go through this intrusive route solo. Maybe I''ll just pop into the general store and see if Galahad and the others are free. 244 - - The Dinner Change clothes in the labyrinth''s transition room and move to the temple. and are so convenient that I haven''t walked around the city for a while, so I''m going to take a detour on my way home. Come to think of it, I haven''t seen Ekaterina for a while. I feel like I''m missing something, but I''m not so sure. At any rate, I talk to a priest in the corridor outside the gate. Thank you for allowing me to use your temple. No, we charge a certain amount for the use of the gate, so please don''t mind us. "I should probably go to the hall of worship, but I''m sorry I''m so lazy, but please accept this." He gives the priest ten shillings as an offering. "Well, well, thank you very much. I''ll pay it to you, but recently I''ve been working on ......." The priests in the corridor change according to the time of day, but all of them can give you information about the city when you talk to them. Temple priests and shopkeepers in resident stores give information mainly about the city, while peddlers and others often give information about other countries and cities. I am thinking that the amount of information may be different depending on the degree of sensitivity here as well, but I am donating with an ulterior motive in mind. I do not like to give money to Yekaterina, but I am fine with it if neither I nor she wants to interact with me. I hear that the meat trade is booming now thanks to the Gentiles, and the price of vegetables is going up. The gentiles'' arrival has increased the consumption of food, and the meat is secured by the gentiles'' drop, but the vegetables are not ready for the gentiles'' drop. It is true that there are many enemies who drop nuts and mushrooms, but there are few enemies who produce vegetable-like vegetables. And few players are engaged in agriculture, or if they are, they tend to use medicinal herbs and other medicinal materials. Or Peter''s poisonous herb garden. "At first I was happy that my table became luxurious, but it is not good not to eat vegetables. The number of people coughing is increasing, probably due to the season." After the priest finished his talk, he left the orphanage and the dormitory he had built in the former slum with some of the foodstuffs, mainly vegetables, that he no longer used for the soup kitchen. The former slum dwellers are said to be helping gentiles with production, assisting in stores, and in some unusual cases, working as concierges in clan houses. The treatment varies from live-in workers to day laborers who work only when the player is logged out. But it is much better and more vibrant than it was not so long ago, when there were no jobs. Discrimination against beastmen has almost disappeared in Fast. The friction between the gentiles and the residents that have come in droves can''t be helped, but it is probably more on the positive side. However, it is indeed a pity to cause a main issue that directly affects people''s lives. In the meantime, I am glad that the slum dwellers are moving in the right direction. I should pay a visit to the apothecary''s guild. I''ll go back to the general store in time for dinner, and maybe log out and go back to the labyrinth. Ruba is still in Fuso, so I''ll pass on the artificer''s guild today. I wonder if the boy Julius is still staring at the . I don''t want to get a new staff too soon, since the one I received before I went to Fuso is enough for my level, but I''m thinking that I gave him too many high rank materials. I heard that there are a lot of production players coming in and out of the workshop for so-called "errand quests". It is said that you can get rare materials once a day if you complete the quests. Since the price of high-ranked production equipment is high, some players apprentice themselves to residents'' workshops until they have enough money for their stores and equipment. Ochazuke informs us that there are some perks in exchange for the production quota. --Our clan is strange in that we have a full line of casino equipment. When I went to the apothecary guild, Master Pieg was not there. He said, "Whooping cough is going to a temporary housing in a slum. The usual medicines don''t seem to work well. The priests'' disease cures work, but if there is an epidemic, I can see that we will be short of hands." I heard that old Pieg is going to the site to adjust the medicines and see patients. Now, the members of the apothecary''s guild are being requested to deliver several kinds of medicinal herbs to the guild. Thank you for your hard work. While browsing in the commodities shop, I came to the secondhand bookstore. I''m going to visit with old man Cadiz and buy some new books for the two who are staying at the house. I set the alarm before entering the house, as I am in danger of losing track of time. I also want to go back to the library in Alsuna. "Hello." The old man, as usual, is behind the counter, smoking a pipe and reading a book. It seemed to be an interesting book, and he greeted me by simply looking up from his book and giving me a glance. I take the liberty of walking among the bookshelves, looking for a book with an interesting title and a binding that I like. I try to check out as many old picture books as possible, although I am not sure if I will pick up a book because I do not have a particular book in mind. I feel that the stories are interwoven with facts that existed in older times than in history books. He selects some books and brings them to Cadiz. Krulkan is glancing at me through his cuffs, perhaps he likes books. No one seems to be able to stop the house from being filled with books. "You''re a book lover too, aren''t you?" "Really?" "It''s rare for a Gentile to go to an unfriendly used bookstore without a purpose." There may be many other book lovers, but many of them may spend their leisure time in the game not reading but producing or collecting books. The bookworms who are into books will go to the isle as soon as they can. This is a souvenir from Fuso. Several copies of akabon (red book) for children and kiboshishi (yellow book) for adult entertainment. Many of the kibyoshi contain satire and word play, and Sakon explained his criticisms of hidden politics and other topics. I bought several books because many of them are interesting to read, although I have no idea about metaphors and allusions without explanations. Oh, this is rare. Sometimes there are some good finds, but they don''t come around to our house very often." He then happily checks the book. "I''m sorry to keep giving you these, but take them with you. It will keep insects away from the books if you burn it, and it won''t smell or smell bad, so don''t worry about it. With these words, Cadiz handed me a dried, squared, compressed leaf of some kind. You can drink it as a cigarette. "Thank you." Apparently, it is the same stuff that is stuck in Cadiz''s pipe. I thank him and leave the used bookstore. He enters a random alley and returns to the general store via the temple. I braced myself for the black to jump on me, but contrary to my expectation, there was no sign of him. "I''m home." "Oh, welcome home!" Welcome home. Welcome home. Galahad, Camilla, and Eagle were relaxing on the third floor of the liquor store. I knew I should have asked Trinh about expanding the rooms. I''ll try to remember that. "The general store is about to close. "Oh, it''s about that time, isn''t it? No wonder I''m hungry." Galahad lounges on the sofa and complains of hunger. "You haven''t moved much today." "Reno is at Mistiff''s with the black. I''m sure he''ll be back soon." Eagle and Camilla were playing chess. They were enjoying a holiday between adventures. "Master Homura, I''m hungry!" Galahad jokingly asks for dinner with a "like" sign. "Well, I''ll cook. If you''re free tomorrow, help me gather the ingredients. "Oh!¡¡I''ll go anywhere for a good meal!" He answered immediately with a nice smile. "I''ll help you, too. "I had a hard time the other day. It''s nice to take it easy and gather ingredients. Camilla and Eagle are both willing to help. Whether it''s a leisurely ...... or not is a mystery to me, but I guess it''s a leisurely spring walk in the field. After thanking them and starting to prepare dinner, Lapidus, Noel and Cal came up from closing the general store. "Welcome home, it smells so good! Cal peeks into the kitchen smiling. "Lord, welcome home!" "Welcome home, Lord." Lapidus and Noel both call out to us from the entrance of the kitchen, as if they were afraid of disturbing us in a small space. There is no wall or door in the direction leading to the living room, but they do not step out from the edge of the living room as if there is some kind of partition, and they lean over to greet us. The temptation (tail) is flapping and swaying. I''m home, you three. We''re ready to go." Since they have storage space, they carry a variety of ingredients with them, so cooking is done in a matter of minutes, without the hassle of going back and forth to the warehouse. Except for liquor and cheese, but that''s not a problem because they are already packed in the storage. The most time-consuming part is deciding on the menu. Today''s menu is tomato cream pasta with Tsutsugani crab. I also made cream croquettes and gratin with <, so I used thicker pasta with the acidity of the tomatoes to refresh it. I guess grilled crab or crab shabu-shabu with water from the garden would be more delicious, but I plan to have that at the banquet with the gods. Thanks to the preparation of the ingredients, I will be the first to serve what I think will be the most delicious dish. Reno and Black have returned. Black made a dash for me, but before he could reach me he was intercepted by a cushion offered by Kal, and he was shot down with a thud. After it was stored in my bosom, it was shrieking at Kalu. He seemed to have noticed Krulkan and started shaking his sleeve as well. "Yes, yes. Don''t get mad, don''t get mad." I stroke behind his ears with my fingertips to calm him down. His head no longer bothers me when I stroke it, but he still won''t let me brush it. And the way Cal looks at my sleeve is a little painful, but if you have any disbelief, can''t you just ask me normally?¡¡It''s hard to answer a question when it''s not asked. "He''s sulking because he gets left behind every time. Why don''t you take him with you?" Leno would suggest it, but that''s not an option. "You can''t run away from a boss if you''re in danger. <, but you can''t take it with you, it''s not a pet." Black looked up at me in shock and froze. If it is a pet, if it is in danger, or worse, if it dies, I can return it to its trinket and it will be of no use to me after I am resurrected. I heard that letting it die would lower its likability and pet level, but at least it would be alive. Is that why you''re leaving me here? "That''s why." The black that has been outside is < or applied and the cooking resumes. "Lord, I''ll bring it in." Lapidus, too! "Thank you." I''ll give him a plate of croquettes, as light as possible. Lapis is a fighter, though her STR is not so bad. It smells good. Cal dexterously picks up four plates. No, he takes two of them in his arms.¡¡He looks like a professional waiter. "Oh!¡¡I''ll carry it!" Galahad and the others bring plates one after another, and the table is ready. Before we knew it, Camilla had set up a table liner and a small floral arrangement. "Let''s eat!" "Bon app¨¦tit!" We took our seats, said "Itadakimasu" and ate our meal together. "Oh, it''s delicious. It''s crispy and tender." Camilla''s hand-formed crab cream croquettes are bale-shaped. White sauce - or, to put it more stylishly, b¨¦chamel sauce with a dash of crab. I had prepared several kinds of sauce on a small plate: tomato sauce with a little white wine, Worcestershire sauce, melted butter, ketchup, and lemon, but everyone ate them without adding anything. I put Worcestershire sauce on the second one to change the taste from white sauce, but I guess I am in the minority. I wondered if I was in the minority. I guess he is imitating me rather than liking Worcestershire sauce. The gratin was the promised dish of the shell, the richness of the white sauce lightly charred on the surface, and the crab''s deliciousness not at all lost!¡¡I am glad that Lapidus seems to be happy to lift up the crab shell. "Oh, I knew meat should be like this!" Galahad''s request was to grill the beef on the bone over a charcoal fire for a long time, and then serve it in chunks, moist on the inside and browned on the outside!¡¡You can enjoy both fat and lean meat. As usual, Galahad eats with gusto and relish. "It makes me want to drink more sake!" Eagle says over a glass of white wine, which is not too sweet and has a clean taste. I don''t know what liquor tastes like, so I choose a wine based on the description of its appraisal. I have several kinds of wines in storage, and next time I''ll ask the members of the group to choose one before the meal. "This salad is also delicious." Leno says as he brings a baby leaf and radish salad to his mouth. This one has a dressing of . "It''s rich too, but the acidity makes it refreshing. Cal says as he eats his pasta with a cool face. Doesn''t the sauce splash?¡¡No splash. I did!¡¡I was careless when I served it on the black. You son of a b*tc*! 245 - - 243. 3rd Temple? Krulkan climbed up to my second arm and wrapped around me like a bracelet and wouldn''t come out. At first he was on my forearm, peeking out from time to time through the cuff, but Cal''s stare and the black menace kept him from coming out. Is that right, sealed beast? Dessert was chocolate shortcake with tea made by Cal. Soft and fluffy cream and sweet and sour strawberries. I think the combination of strawberries, cream and sponge is justified. "Lapis, Noel, thank you for your hard work today." "You did your best, Lapidus." LAPIS rubs his head against me, a little embarrassed. "Me too." Noel also snuggles up to me, but more reservedly. After finishing their meal, I patted and cared for them. In this world, it seems normal for a child this age to be a great worker, but compared to my surroundings in the real world, I can''t help but feel guilty about making them work. "Yes, yes, no, no, no, no, no, no!" This is what happens when you let your guard down. Why do they want to smell your armpits? £¡£¡£¡£¡¡¡I don''t know if it''s because I''m a beast!¡¡You''re not doing this to strangers, are you?¡¡If you''re going to do it, keep it to Cal or Reno! While removing them, ask Lapidus and Noel to temporarily remove all stones other than fire and water stones from the purchase tomorrow, and ask them to purchase the same delivery quests that are offered by the medicine man''s guild. I can''t accept the delivery quests, but I''m sure I won''t have to worry about having too many of them. After sending Lapis and Noel off to take a bath, it''s time for a drink. "It''s going to be a long day gathering ingredients, is that all right?¡¡If not, I''m thinking of breaking it up into several trips." I believe Galahad and the others have reached the 44th floor, and I heard that all of the 25th floor has been opened, but the snake route has not been explored yet, and if Green Hydra has not been found yet, we should start from the 26th floor. "Oh, I''m fine, I''m fine. I''m getting by with the Phoenix now, and there''s no sign of the "fire fever disease". Galahad drinks a beer while nibbling on roasted nuts. Today''s snack is roasted nuts and canap¨¦s. Avocado dip, prosciutto, sliced olives, cream cheese, honey, raisin butter, marinated salmon on crackers. ......I personally feel like serving fried chicken when I see them drinking beer, but I don''t know. I myself don''t drink, so this is really my own prejudice. "If I get a call that someone has the bug, I''ll probably leave halfway through, but until then I''ll stick with you." "I wonder if it''s a long shot, or if it''s a hard-to-find ingredient?" Eagle and Camilla drinking wine . "Some of it is rare, but I''d rather have it in quantity. I don''t feel like dying at all, but I''m afraid it''s taking too long for one of us. If it''s not a good turnout, I''ll take turns helping out." "Thank you. Thank you. I thank Reno for offering to help and ask for his help. I don''t know how many layers there are. "I''ll help you when the general store is closed. "Thank you." I also took Cal''s word for it! "Collecting foodstuffs is work that doesn''t suit an old man!¡¡Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Galahad, who has had a lot to drink, chuckles and says, "I''m sorry, I''m sorry, I''m sorry, I''m sorry. And so we arrive at the adventurers'' guild labyrinth in Baron. "Why are we at the entrance of the labyrinth?" "We''re supposed to be gathering food, right?" "Homura?¡¡Could the foodstuff be a bird hunt on the Southen route?" The destination of the bird mark at the fork is called "Souten route" or "Hunter route" or "Bird route", which is exactly the same as it is, with many bird-like demons. I''d like to go there someday, as it seems to be a good place for deep frying. "No, this time I want to go to ......." "Oh, you''re with me." For a moment, I wondered if there was another group of people who had also come to gather ingredients, but then I saw Galahad''s eyes and saw the Flame Kings and Roy. But when Galahad said they were his companions, he must have been referring to the knights who were with them. "Are they the same ones we''ve been asked to work with?" "It didn''t work, but I heard it stopped the progress." "<>?" Galahad''s words reminded me of the details of the request. It seems that I have a connection with Fel Fasi, not the octopus, these days. To get the drops, he had to be downed by a special sword, but did he have it?¡¡Or is there another way? "Well, it''s finally starting." "Yeah, the clan''s settled in. And you''ve got your knight. The Flame King and Roy are talking, and there are two knights. It seems that each of them has a quest to take a knight to the labyrinth. Other players are watching from afar to see how the two clans are progressing. Roy and his party, like the Flame Kings, had been part of a party called the "attackers", but they had been away from the attack for a while as their clan, <>, had grown into a large group and they had to help the clan members to set up a structure and secure knights and beasts for their clan members. However, since I am the head of a clan that has many production workers, it seems that I will be able to attack easily in the future. "I''ve been asked to escort you. Shrugging his shoulders, the Flame King glanced at Elias. It appears that Elias is the one with the knight. "Ah, I thought that production workers could request escorts from the guild. Well, let''s work hard for each other! "You can''t lose." In contrast to Roy, who smiles brightly showing his white teeth, the Flame King smiles with one side of his mouth raised. The tense atmosphere is very rivalry-like! In addition, the escort request for production workers can be made in an alliance of up to nine people: six escorts and three people to be escorted by the escort. However, the Adventurers'' Guild takes a large margin depending on the number of people and the places to be escorted, so unless a rare escort is obtained, the alliance will lose a lot of money. The escorting party is also paid a commission, but they are also charged a heavy penalty for the death of the target. "Lenguard ...... I was thinking "I''ve been thinking about this for a while, and they found me, though I wasn''t hiding from the start. I heard short screams from everywhere, and there was a commotion, but what was it?¡¡It''s okay, okay?¡¡I won''t cut your head off out of the blue. "......Eh, a three-way ......" "Hey, hey, you''ve come to the right place. ......" Wait a minute, I''m not participating in the attack. I''m a member of the food search team, so let me get out of the line of fire! I am pleased to announce that the floor boss of the anti-spirit route on the 35th basement floor of the labyrinth has been defeated solo. Oops, there is a challenger who went the undead route. I don''t care what it smells like, will it be an easy route if you become a priest or a holy knight?¡¡I guess the clearing will be around the rabbit girl. "Hey, hey, you beat me to it. Well, zombies weren''t an option. The Flame King sighs. The Flame King and Roy are the only ones who have been talking since a few minutes ago, but perhaps the others are not mute, but are watching the progress and conversing with the party. Haruna is smiling and holding Korret and Krull''s arms, so they are probably talking. "Are you going to dive now too?" "Yeah." The Flame King''s question is answered shortly. In fact, he is busy rejecting the partner cards that have been thrown at him since a few minutes ago. I didn''t win any poker tournaments!¡¡I''d like to say, "I''ve never heard of this place," but I''m baffled by the silent message sent by someone I''ve never heard of. "Four people. I don''t mind if you don''t answer just out of curiosity, but how many levels have you reached? Roy asks. "Fifty layers." "Holy shit!" Roy surprised me, but I think it''s more impressive that he knows the names of all the clan members in the big group. Players change their clothes and hairstyles all the time. "I didn''t hear the announcement but ......" "Do you have an announcement to clear the residents?" Roy nods his head at the bewildered Flame King. Haruna is here, and it is probably best not to clear up the misconception that he is a resident. I''m afraid to reveal the hidden route. "There are hidden things in the labyrinth. Play the Flame King''s questions with mysterious phrases, and you might be doing them a disservice by divulging them. --I''m sorry, but I also have a desire to keep quiet and take it easy for a while and gather ingredients. Homura (Lengard). Camilla pulls on her sleeve and calls out to me. "Too many people here, huh?" Galahad''s words made me look around and see that the gallery had nearly doubled in size since the last time I was here. We are blocking the entrance to the labyrinth, and it hurts to look at them. "Now, if you''ll excuse me..." Move out, move out. Some players followed us, but we were never together because we were on different levels and were assigned to different transition rooms by the guilds. If you can follow us to the room for adventurers who have reached the 50th level, follow us!¡¡No, please don''t lie. "Hey ....... You''re not taking me to the 50th layer, are you?" When it is quiet, Galahad asks with half-lidded eyes. "No way. Please take good care of him." "Homura?" "Homura?" Camilla and Eagle have beautiful smiles. "Didn''t you say you wouldn''t die solo?" "Yeah, the enemies on the way were enemies you could fight at a distance, and the boss was a fal fasi who healed frequently, so it didn''t hurt much." Galahad is rubbing his temples in response to my answer. "Is there the same boss on the fiftieth floor as on the other floors?¡¡I''ve never heard of it, but ....... I have a feeling it''s going to be worse on the road than Phoenix." Eagle of the sign that he will continue to go out with us because there is no word of denial . "...... I said I''d help you and I''ll go out with you, but where''s the branch?" "White, no, I''m going to start with Green Hydra." Answers a sighing Camilla. Fortunately, Galahad and the others had defeated the Green Hydra, so we started at the 30th level. We move to the room next to the boss room without the boss and go down the stairs at the end of the door. The levels can be accessed by stairs, transfer plates, or simply by passing through a door. This is a labyrinth of crumbling masonry and dead trees. "I''ve never been here before, but I thought the guild''s data said that there were mostly bird types..." "I wonder if Homra is aiming for the real route we''ve heard so much about?" Or was it a snake? Thank God the three of you are so quick to talk. Yes, I think I can take the snake route because it''s open. Watch out for the snakes like arrows that suddenly pop out from between the masonry. And the dead leaves are slippery. "Yes, sir!" Galahad takes a step forward with a crisp look on his face. "Oh, there''s an enemy here that''s resistant to slashing." "Boom!" Galahad is exaggeratedly staggering. I''m glad I saved the enchantment. 246 - - The Grilled Skewers "How''s that!¡¡d*mn!" I''ve got five scales of Vyvyan. I have obtained 5 venomous fangs of Vyvyan. I have obtained 5 large hides of Vyvyan Vyvyan. I got the magic stone of Veevre. I got 10 garnets from Veevre. I have obtained 5 diamonds from Veevre. I got the snakeskin pouch. "Good work." Galahad breathes on his shoulder. I was on the attack with magic, Camilla with magic and bow, Eagle with recovery, and as a result Galahad alone had to struggle against Veeble left and right. However, it was a feat of skill that I was able to finish him off with a critical hit with a shout and my guts. "Homura''s <> is very effective at penetrating at long range. It was easier than I thought it would be. You''ve started a bow. "I got it. ." Camilla seems to have resumed leveling up her bow, which she had been using as a magic aid after getting it up to 30. She smiles glamorously and shows the bow in her hand. "It''s a strong weapon and has powerful skills. Eagle holds a replica of the Sword of Absolution in his hand. "Gaaaahhhh!¡¡Food!¡¡Meat!¡¡Give me some meat!" While talking with Camilla and Eagle, Galahad, apparently released from stress, started shouting. On Galahad''s back is also a replica of the great sword of absolution. < After the boss battle, I received several good-night messages. In addition to the good night messages, Peter''s mail also contained the name of Rengaad flying around when we got out of the labyrinth.¡¡He also warned us not to eat grilled skewers in public with white equipment. At any rate, he replied that he was just about to get caught up in some kind of rivalry between [Retsubi] and [Kronos]. Galahad quickly starts a fire when we take a long break in the safe zone. Not too long, not too short, but just exquisite enough to burn for the duration of the break. "Sitting on a chair for a meal is fine, but a skewer roast is just like this! Galahad smiles with satisfaction as he takes a bite of the fatty belly of a <<> pig. The meat skewers are tender and fragrant, roasted over charcoal. "It''s so tender!" Camilla is also tucking into hers, looking delicious. When pan-fried, the meat tends to shrivel up and become tough, but the meat is still tender and chewy. "Beef is good, but pork is also good. The parts of the meat that are darker in places, perhaps due to the heat, are also very savory. The smell is terrible. There is no choice but not to bite into the grilled skewer. It is safe to do so in a place where players do not come. "I like the spicy broth." < "It''s light and dry, but the ingredients are big enough to be worth eating!¡¡I need a drink." "You can''t serve a dish with a big carrot in it at a grocery store." One adult, I won''t say who, doesn''t like carrots, but when he serves them, he keeps them small. "Haha, I''m sure the two kids will get used to big carrots and peppers. "When they grow up, they''ll have a more mature palate." "Homura''s food is delicious." No, I''m an adult now. I don''t even know how old you are. They seem to think that the three of us are Lapidus and Noel, but we leave it at that and drink the soup, and I''m sure they will learn the reality soon enough. "Aren''t you being a little too cavalier?" "What are you talking about?" Galahad asks back. "Homura, you are aware that you are being polite, aren''t you?" "I don''t remember that." Eagle is indeed observant: ....... I''ll be careful if I use polite words. "I''m glad you dropped the snakeskin bag." Camilla looks positive. "Hey!¡¡I had a lot of stuff. What a waste!" "You have to make choices as you go along. I''ve got snakeskin, too, so I have some room. Apparently Camilla and Eagle dropped a . < is a large item pouch. "Galahad, I have two, shall I give you one?" I was thinking of selling it to someone around Ochazuke, but I ended up having two of them, the one I gave to Liddell and the other I actually have. I don''t care about the capacity of the item pouch because I have [storage] in the first place. In every game I''ve played, the maximum number of possessions has been a formidable enemy, so my current state seems like a dream. "At the next rest point, please, I''ll pay you. That''s not what I meant!" "Don''t you want it?" "I''m here!" Which way! "Leave Galahad''s pouch, Homra?" "The < series from [inducement] is so evil." Now doing the same thing as last time while running shortly." I decided that the snake would like to improve its level, since it had reported to me that it could avoid the same kind of snakes that were in the place where Kulurkan had been if I took it with me. He is actively using magic to raise the level of Kulkulkan''s staff, and he is also spartan to regain his strength so he can get back on his feet. "It''s good that all the enemies are flying here and lightning works well and it''s easy." This time, Camilla is cutting down the enemies who are out of < with her bow, and Galahad and Eagle are taking down the enemies who come close to her. "This is definitely different from the dungeon strategy I know!" "It''s not like any dungeon strategy I know." "How could you do that to M!? How can you hold it?" M! is healed by the user, and also by damaging the enemy. As the level of M! I think it will decrease as the level goes up and you learn more magic that consumes more M! The surface of the dry ground crumbles and leaves footprints. The black silhouettes that fall on the ground become particles of light and disperse. Before the light disappears, you can fire a < at more flying ants, and the lightning splits off and runs to other individuals on the side, burning the swarm. Aside from enemies in the outer fields, enemies in dungeons including labyrinths are as numerous as the number of party members. This seems to count N! This makes the situation quite spectacular. I''m glad to know that many petit dragons often drop attribute stones. "Oh ....... I thought I had a long way to go, but my bow level is up." Congratulations." Me celebrating Camilla''s skill level increase. "It didn''t take long before we were in front of the boss. "Well, you''ve been down that road once." The mapping is complete, so you can''t get lost. Since I started diving, there have been two labyrinth fluctuations, but that was before I came to the snake route. One of them was caused by placing a transition plate obtained at a casino in the area, although he did not seem to have intended to do so. Ochazuke told me that it was unpopular with the party that was going around the same level to raise the level, including [Retsubi], but was welcomed by the party that was in the shallow layer, which was stranded by Cedre. I recall with nostalgia that cedars are troublesome because they increase even if you step on them and explode when you try to burn them down with fire. "It''s too early for a map!¡¡It''s not a city!" "Steady, I''d say, but we''ve taken out the fast bosses, so that''s not what we''re saying. "Why not as long as it''s fast?¡¡Thanks to his spartanism, we have become stronger, and although the 40th layer is the level we have reached, I am confident that we can go deeper now. I''ve heard a lot of things said about it, but for now, I''m just trying to get ready before the boss for the H!? M!? and E! M! "Pork was good, but this is good too. Galahad is eating leeks, and I''m munching on celery. The shiso wrapped and grilled celeriac with soft and slightly hard parts has a delicious shiso aroma, celeriac flavor, and a crunchy texture that sometimes comes out. I was surprised to learn that the "ma" in Negima is the "ma" of tuna, and I thought it was "Negima" because of the leek between the two. Tsukune?¡¡It''s tender and delicious." Camilla seemed to like the fluffy type of tsukune. It''s a little awkward to feed a beautiful woman from a skewer, but we''re out in the open. The ones with cartilage are also tasty. I think I prefer the salted ones. Eagle generally prefers salt to sauce. "Oh, man, I need a beer." "I''d like to eat slowly." "I''m not sure if I''m eating for the strategy or for the food." "I''m glad to hear it''s been so well received." If we were sitting down to eat with a plate, we would have prepared yuzu kosho (citron pepper), but right now we are on the stairs before moving to the boss''s floor. The drink is a tea similar to oolong tea. The fact that there are so many skewers today is just a coincidence, not a reaction to the ban on grilled skewers. "The boss here is a wyvern. We''re going to drop him down now, so please attack him." "Roger that." "O.K." "Okay." We open the door to the boss, ready to go. "This is a very typical stage, isn''t it? Galahad was right: the atmosphere was perfect, with needle-like rock piles and black clouds filled with lightning. A wyvern breaks through the clouds. His outstretched wings are silver. "You again!" , I thought you were rare! "Well, it''s a rare species, isn''t it ......?" Camilla asks suspiciously. "Why, it''s the third one." Why is it that Veebles are so common? "<>" Heavy Magic] level 40, every time an enemy moves, a black mass of iron increases, impeding their movement. If the enemy flies, it will fall to the ground. The wyverns quickly create black lumps on their wings, and they are unable to flap their wings under the weight of the wyverns and come crashing down. "Well, we have the blessing of Verus, don''t we?" "Still, I don''t think the encounter rate is that high. ....... Is it indeed a favorite?" Galahad and Eagle say as they draw their swords and run to where the wyverns will fall. The effect of the Verus Blessing is to increase the rare boss rate. It''s a nice, nice effect, but subtly annoying. "I''ll drop the wings before the magic wears off! "Ah!" They seem to take it easy, but they are quick to judge and act at times like this. Camilla is shooting a flaming arrow at the wyvern''s leg, perhaps to take away its maneuverability on the ground after falling with Camilla. Once the wyvern is defeated, the serpent that replaces Kulurkan should be away, so it''s time to go the food route. The boss of the Tenrin route, which doesn''t open Kulrukan''s room, is also interesting, but the foodstuff we haven''t seen yet is too tempting! 247 - - The Beast of the Empire The boss of the 40th basement floor of the Labyrinth Illusion Route has been defeated by [Retsubi]. "Oh?" After defeating Mr. Wyvern, I was heading for the room where Kulurkan was, when an announcement was made. The party leader can choose whether to play the name of the individual or the name of the party. The default name of a party consisting of all members of the same clan is the clan name. "What?" "No, I just got word that a friend of mine has conquered Fer Farsi." Since the game announcements seem to be inaudible to the residents, I will briefly explain. It seems that the Flame Kings beat Roy and the others more quickly than they did. The announcement was also made during the party defeat of the 25th to 35th layers of the [Ardent Fire], and since the starting point of the party this time is different from that of the [Cronos], it seems to be in order. "Ah, the guys at the entrance..." There were two groups. The one with the long red hair. Somehow the torches are still burning red-hot in the corridor. You''re not going to run out of oxygen, are you? "You must be the one who was with Sir Tristan." The eagle''s words reminded me of , the story of the knight Tristan who flirted with two Isoldes and died of jealousy. Was he a knight of the round table by any chance?¡¡Well, I guess they gathered knights from stories here and there to create Knights of the Round Table: ....... "Roy - who was the one with the other pair?" I''m not sure I can tell, but I''m going to ask him if he might know. "You must be Lord Lamorack. They''re both friends of the old man. Galahad told me, but I still didn''t recognize him. They say there are 300 or so knights of the Round Table, not 13. A friend of Kal''s must be strong. "But still, I think Homura was right to call us here." "This place looks like it could be the big one up ahead." "Hmm, I''m glad I can help." Hmm? You know I''m not home beyond this point, right? "No one''s home?" I mean, Kulkarukan was there. "Boom!" Galahad, who was walking next to him, suddenly kicked and tripped. "Homura, shall we take a raid on that?¡¡Let''s go back and check on Master Lancelot and Reno''s schedule." Eagle stops dead in his tracks and smiles. Don''t worry, it was me, White plus the ten raiders of the gods. Krulkan is in my right hand right now, something like that. Wait. You''re not home, does that mean you''ve already cleared ......?" Camilla looks up at us from a short distance. I don''t know whether to look at her face or her cleavage. "Yes, this is Mr. Krulkan. He''s a little shy right now, so please don''t startle him. The staff in his hand suddenly seems to thin and his wings move as he raises it prominently. It seems to have turned into a snake, just to say hello. "......" "......" "......" The three of them stare at Kulurkan in silence. Kulkarukan freezes as the three of them look at him, and after a few moments of silence, Kulkarukan runs away into the sleeve. He did his best. "I''m really shy like this." "......" "......" "......" "No?¡¡No, no?" Galahad repeats the words without moving, staring at the spot where Kulurkan had just been. "Let''s wait a minute, Mr. Homura." Eagle rubbing his brow. "Is it my imagination that I somehow remember this trend?¡¡How many of them do you keep in your clothes?" White, black, krulkan. Three max?" Answers Camilla''s question. The white one is only able to fit inside a hooded robe and rests half of its body on my shoulder. "That''s not what I''m talking about! Galahad shouts. "I don''t know where to begin. There''s probably a Bahamut in there too." "Bahamut isn''t in your clothes, is he?" Bahamut dwells in the blue gem that I wear on my chest. "Two sealed beasts in my clothes, plus an extra one hanging on the wall, and one in the house. Wait a minute, I listed them all myself, but four out of eight!" Galahad says with a disappointed look on his face. "No, I recently added one to my house. ......" What? Kuznoha. "......" The three quiet people slowly sit down in the aisle. "I don''t know what''s going on, but I''m starting to feel something." "I''m crying. ......" "After Homura returned from Fuso, Master Lancelot was worried about the demons. ......" "I heard that he brought back something that wasn''t even that important." The three of them are whispering something. Asha''s beast, the thundering beast, the mythical creature, the mythical creature, the mythical creature. The Beast of Dru, the mad puppet Hamel. Phal''s beast of concealment, the poisonous bird Sirene. "So that leaves Spider, Hamel, and Sirene. The Spider may be in the empire, but we have no information on where the others are." I name the remaining sealed beasts as I recall them. "Are you going to conquer ......?" "You''re going to conquer it, aren''t you?" "It looks like you''re going to conquer it, huh?" He deliberately speaks privately so that the three of them can hear him. "Well, I''m inclined to complete it when I get this far." "I knew it. ......" "Ah!¡¡Yada yada yada this guy!¡¡I''m on the level of a country-wide selection to form a raid!" "Especially when we knights of the empire are being sent right and left by the < without even knowing that they exist." As we talked, we arrived at the spot where the wall used to be. Every now and then there is a small sound like the crumbling of a stone, and when you look closely, you can see that the collapsed wall is coming back with a rattling sound (...). The small stones on the floor, which have crumbled back against gravity, become a part of the crumbled wall when they touch it, as if it had never been broken in the first place. The wall will probably be towering when another player with a key arrives. "I heard that if you leave Krulkan here, you can fight the new winged serpent that will be born, but he''s not here this time. "Wow." The space beyond the long corridor seems to have attracted Galahad, and he stops to admire it. When I first came here, I had high hopes for this adventurous situation. "Maybe someday I''ll take on the challenge." Let me help you." I look at the same dark vast space and answer Eagle''s question, and then I <. "The black stone that you see stuck in the stone is the scales of a krulkan. Be careful, they are poisonous to those who touch them. Some of them are pretty big. "Yeah, when we first faced it here, it was big enough to fit in this space." When I looked down at him, he seemed to realize that I was talking about him, and Krulkan looked at me. "Looks good for an arrowhead," he said. "Yeah, that''s what I was thinking the last time I mined." "Well, let''s go get some." "Yes, sir." Galahad''s words were the cue for Camilla to get to work digging. It seems to be possible to collect a small amount of small items. The arrows are made of M! The arrows can be produced temporarily by spending M! The arrow can be temporarily produced by spending M! The former is said to be able to produce arrows with various effects as the level of the arrow increases. In the latter case, the skills that can be added to the arrows vary depending on the rank of the arrow, but many of them are said to be powerful because they cost a lot of money. "With these scales, it looks like I can make a powerful poison arrow. Picking up a piece, Camilla says. She is kneeling - a little off the ground because she is - but the slit in her skirt is split and her white thighs are showing. "Just picking it up would poison me to the hilt," she says. If this doesn''t make a poisoned arrow, it''s a heron." "I guess I could do a poison sword or something, but I''d need a lot of it." Are you two through?¡¡Are you used to this spectacle?¡¡He occasionally recovers, suspiciously. "Production has stopped, but we need to level up. But I''m not a production worker and I don''t think I''ll ever be able to handle this material. Camilla can make her own arrows. Arrows are consumed so much that it seems inevitable that anyone who handles a bow will learn to make arrows. It would be inconvenient if she could not make them on the road. Today we camped in a hidden room that leads to the food route. It''s time for me to log out, and although I can recover and regain my energy, a long battle will wear me out. And the three of us need sleep. So, the drinking ban is lifted, as long as it doesn''t linger the next day. Today''s main dish is dumplings made with the that will appear in the next section. The white skin is sticky and the baked side is crispy. Fried shrimp dumplings with mayonnaise. Fried bean sprouts with a lot of black pepper, Bean-curd soup with bean-curd soup and egg soup. Chopstick rest with pickled turnip, rice for me and beer for the three of us. "Wow!¡¡This is a hit!" Galahad seemed to like the dumplings, popping them into his mouth and downing them with beer. The fried bean sprouts are spicy and too salty and peppery for my taste, but they seem to be just right for the three of us who are drinking. In the real world of Japan, there is a legal limit to the alcohol content of each type of sake, but there is no such limit here, so the beer they are drinking now is a little high in alcohol content. "Hey, you better be a little careful, or you''ll be left with a lot of beer tomorrow." "Don''t drink too much in the labyrinth just because Homura''s food is good, okay?" "I''m fine, I''m fine!¡¡I''m not going to get drunk on this!" Eagle and Camilla chide Galahad, but he doesn''t drop his pitch. If it''s not my imagination, I''m feeling a bit cheerful, but I wonder if I''m OK. Galahad is the strongest drinker among the three, but he is also the one who gets drunk first because of his bold drinking style in contrast to the two who enjoy drinking slowly. "Homura, if you''re going to defeat the White Prince, let''s talk a little about the Empire. Galahad puts down his mug and suddenly becomes serious. "......If you''re going for ùw, you''d better talk to Homura so that he doesn''t get caught up in the affairs of the country." Eagle sighs and agrees with Galahad. "To be honest, though, I don''t really understand some of it." After finishing my meal, I decided to listen to the three of them over a cup of tea. Even if we exclude the Spider, I am curious about the story of the empire. I don''t want to get involved in political conflicts and factions, but there are a lot of people involved. "First of all, Homura told me that there is a , and it is confirmed that there is a . But at first we were led to believe that this too was the white beast Hasfarn. "It is cunning to switch to a sealed beast with subtly similar characteristics to the nine tails that are actually in motion, while keeping the real target, the White White White, under wraps. "If I had not met Homura, I would not have been able to reach the Nine-Tails, but I would not have been able to reach the Spider." "Tamamo is also suspicious. It is well-known that Kuzunoha, the nine-tailed kuzunoha, is sealed up in Fuso, and she didn''t know that the main body of the kuzunoha had escaped, leaving its outer body behind. Besides, it was he who hid the information about the Spider. "His side?" The way Galahad calls them shows both respect and a bit of fear. "Merlin, the Wise One of the Forest. He is a wizard who has lived longer than the history of the empire." "And maybe he''s obsessed with the jade plant." "He had a weakness for women, too, I see." Uh, yeah. I remember Merlin in the story being tricked by a woman and being locked in a tower and all that. No!¡¡All at once, my image has changed from a careful and cunning wizard to a wizard who is easily deceived by a woman!¡¡A comedy in which a woman invites you to a room and locks you in, and you are locked in. It''s hard for me to listen to Galahad and his friends with a mysterious look on their faces as they listen to Merlin''s story, which contains an unspoken fear. ....... 248 - - The Mission "Homura, you said before that I''m helping other people on their missions, right?" Yeah, you said that. That''s a lie. I''m sorry. "Yeah?" I was a little surprised when Galahad put down his mug of dumplings and bowed to me just as I finished my dumplings. "I myself am the one who received the oracle of mission from Asha." "......Well, I guess that''s in order." If Asha likes Galahad, I think it will be Galahad rather than Kal. I can''t imagine that Asha would choose them, even if it is Cal or Gawain in terms of strength. I''m sorry I didn''t tell you. "No, we''ve just met, and there are a lot of obstacles that could get in the way. Is there anything I can do to help?" "I''ve already had help." ?" I don''t know, I don''t remember helping you. "My mission is to get the incense burner and place it in the center of the round table room. I''ve done a lot of research since then, and I''ve figured out that it''s supposed to hold a mythical creature. "I''m glad he didn''t get rid of the files." "You can''t throw away old things, especially books, even if they belong to someone else." Well, that sounds like a good fit. Galahad says that at first he had no idea what he was looking for because he had been researching <>, but when he reexamined his research with <> in mind, he found a few clues about . "It''s not a lie that the master of the one who took care of me was cursed, but the king of the empire collapsed with the same symptoms, so I was looking for a way to break the curse. The empire has many enemies, and we can''t tell them that the king has fallen. "At first, they thought we were both sick." Camilla adds. "An empire and a king?" "That''s what you''re worried about. Externally, he is an emperor, but he was so great when he founded the country that even after he annexed other countries and started calling himself an empire, the people still customarily refer to him as king." The man I spoke to said that the <> was the prime minister of a neighboring country. Like Kalu, he has an that can detect concealment, and he is the owner of the book that contains the record of the ùw. This is probably the reason why he was targeted. Moreover, it is said that the Prime Minister''s illness was before the country turned unstable, two years before Kalu was hunted. I wonder if it was originally an event where we went to the country together on an errand quest and asked for information. ....... I''ll ask the Flame Kings later, but I''m afraid I''ll get in the way of a lot of people asking them. I asked for strategies and details of the event, and then the reward for the achievement was lowered!¡¡Gil was unusually complaining about it. At the same time, it occurs to me that Elias did not announce his name because it is difficult for production workers to hide. While combatants can escape to some extent once they are in the hunting grounds, it is difficult for production workers to escape because of their stores. It seems a bit risky to advertise. I was thinking about this, and then the story was going on. "Maybe it was Master Merlin. He''s been around long enough to have a long life. The changes were too gradual to notice." "Even now we don''t know how to break the curse. The things we''ve collected have only slowed the progression of the disease." Eagle, with his eyes downcast, gazing at the cup in his hand, says, "I''m not sure I''d like to be here, but I''m not sure I want to be here. "You have no idea how many things he keeps an eye on and pulls strings while he lives in his tower in the forest." "Maybe we shouldn''t be too afraid of them.¡¡You''re going to be skeptical." "He''s very careful, he''s got more than one or two tricks up his sleeve. You can never be too careful." "Well, that''s it!¡¡Now we have nothing to hide!¡¡< Galahad then took the mug of wine that had been set aside and downed the rest in one gulp. With this, the heavy atmosphere is lifted from the three and the banquet resumes. So we add crispy and juicy fried tofu and soft salted fried tofu. Beer, white wine with lemon and citrus flavors. I wonder if red wine would be better with meat, and I would like to ask for advice from a sake lover. I drink soda water with berries in it, thinking that I can make a variety of dishes, but the dishes I can serve quickly will be the ones I am used to. Then I get ready for bed. "Yes, this is the duvet. We''ll send you a three-piece comforter set with more down!¡¡Now add another pair and you''ve got 100,000 shillings!¡¡If you purchase within a quarter of a year, you will receive another set!¡¡Three sets for 100,000 shillings!" "Homura, what are you talking about?" "It''s certainly better than before. ....... I''m just not sure how subtle I feel about it considering it''s what we use for encampments." Eagle and Camilla, who are helping me lay out the bedding that also serves as a cover-up camp, look at me with dismay. When we came to the labyrinth before, we didn''t have enough for the whole party, but now that we have [storage], we carry enough for the full party. Not only that, but he also has a bed and a bathtub that he removed from his room in the general store, but he''s weighing himself down. "No, well, I''ll buy that futon, though." Galahad, who has finished putting out the fire, joins the conversation. "I was just imitating a futon seller, but I''m not trying to sell you anything. Each of them unequipped themselves, lightly cleansed themselves with life magic, and prepared for bedtime. Why is it that the comforters, which were laid out ...... far apart, are now snuggled together? I''ll be next to Homura. Well, Camilla, you may not know this because you were asleep, but there was an accident the last time you woke up and found the same futon. ....... "Oh!¡¡Let''s get the hell out of bed." "Homura, turn off the light." "Yeah." Why don''t they care? Is it because the three of us have been adventuring together for so long?¡¡Well, I guess I''m a bit of a gentile sleeper (logged out), so I''m not in the loop on a lot of things. I crawl under the covers, feeling a little disconcerted. It was pitch black just after I turned off the light, but I became accustomed to the darkness and could see my surroundings vaguely. It seems that I subconsciously turned off my night vision. "Oh, by the way, Camilla..." What is it? "The blonde who said she was with her sister, I think." "What?" "Boom!" "Homura ......" Three signs of getting up. "Why drop the bomb right before bed?" "Why this timing ......?" What makes you think that? "An unidentifiable thing with the voice of a man, a monster that has no subject and changes form depending on what it sees - I didn''t see the blond boy." The high, high ceiling is obscured by the darkness, but I look at it as I speak. Silence falls for a while. "It was Percival who entered the forest to get information about ......<> from his side." "I guess that''s when I got the [inclination]." "<><>>, I got a hint and even managed to suppress the symptoms of the curse, but that''s it." "I think they are deliberately vague to include the truth. Even if you follow the clues, you may not be able to break the curse. Three people arguing in the dark. If we are able to suppress the symptoms, it will be difficult to realize that we are going in the wrong direction. Merlin, you''re so smart! "Then where are the real king''s children?" "......Wait, wasn''t the rumor about Master Lancelot and Queen Guinevere because she and the king couldn''t have a child forever......?" It''s funny, I can''t seem to remember anything about it, even though I''m sure there is a "child" in there. I don''t recall any security for the marriage and coronation ...... of the heir." "No, it''s weird." "Thinking in the dark gets creepier and creepier. It''s healthier to think in the light, don''t you think?" As the three voices grow serious, I call out to them from inside the futon. "Whose fault is it? "Oh, God!¡¡It''s terrible!" Galahad, next to me, bobbed on his pillow, and Camilla, on the other side, rolled off her own futon. "I hate it when I can''t rely on my own memories and perceptions," she said. I guess that''s what I''ve come to expect from the ." "<> are called gorillas and owls in my world. I''ve never met Merlin, but he is a wizard, so should I imagine an owl?¡¡If I imagine a gorilla, that definitely changes the story, doesn''t it?" Mixing back the still-thinking Eagle . "...... please use an owl." "Oh, by the way, his side of the haircut has hair above the ears that sticks out on both sides like a long-eared owl." "You guys ......" Going to bed for now (logged out). I''ll think about it another time! 249 - - The Hunting of Foodstuffs When I woke up (logged in), I felt very soft. But isn''t Krulkan in the best position?¡¡Well, Krulkan''s gender is a mystery, and I suspect that he could be - in human form. Wasn''t it also thought to be a white-faced man, which is why the Aztecs and Maya lost because they equated him with the conqueror (Cortez) who appeared during the prophecy of Kukulcan''s resurrection?¡¡And did I overwrite the myth that <>. "......" I gently pull my arm out and get up. "hmm....... Good morning." I think I woke Camilla. "Oh, it''s still early. ......" As if she didn''t get enough sleep, she leaned against me and started to sleep again. This time I felt a very soft sensation on my thigh. The rest logout is about three hours at our time, so it is natural that Camilla is not getting enough sleep. I think I''ll take a little longer next time, and I think about what to do with the present time. The temperature next to me is one of the perks of being here while I''m thinking about it. The result of my thinking. I activate a muffling and deadening ward around me. I will put up an impulse in the boss''s room in Kulurkan, just outside of the room. I set up a bathtub & bath magic. Enter. Habit is a terrible thing, and even though you know you don''t need to take a bath, you still feel bad if you don''t. I made the impulse stand to improve my woodworking, but the one made by a resident is still better than the one I made. I don''t mind it now, as long as it serves as a blindfold. "...... Homura. What are you doing?" "Reading after a bath?" < "No, I can see that, can''t I?" Eagle looks at me with a mixture of dismay and bewilderment. If you care, you''ll lose! "If Eagle''s awake, does that mean you two should be too?" No, he''s still sleeping. Sorry, is it too bright? "I just had a bad dream and woke up early, it wasn''t bright or loud so I''m fine. I''m fine. I''m sure it''s the warding magic that keeps the sound from leaking out through the blinds. Eagle checks the impulse with a steady tap. "I learned [warding] on the way to Fuso. Do you want to use it?" "No, thanks. Can I have a cup of coffee? I offered to help Eagle look at the bathtub, but he refused. He seemed to want to take a bath, but I wondered if the impulse stand would not be enough for him, since he was equipped with a towel that could be removed, unlike me. Eagle woke up early, but it seems that resident adventurers usually sleep for about seven and a half hours in the safe zone. It was time to wake them up, so I went back to my room. Galahad woke up with a hangover look on his face, followed by Camilla. "...... Oh, good morning. I had a dream that I became a gorilla by body enhancement magic. "Good morning, you''re awake." While I gave them coffee and floated some <>, Eagle stirred up the fire to make it stronger, which had been lowered during the night. Breakfast consists of grilled mackerel, spicy konnyaku, pickled Chinese cabbage, rice and miso soup. It is fortuitous that the three of them accept Japanese food without difficulty. I am happy to eat grated daikon with a little lemon and a dash of soy sauce, and crispy mackerel skin with white rice. If you log out for a couple of minutes, there is no problem to block it with your skill. If I log out before going to bed, I set up a "ward" in a private room or in the garden where no one can come, but I also eat "hyobanmaru" as insurance. It is not impossible to say that there is no case that I cannot log in for a few days due to a cold, etc., and that there is no case that I cannot log out while I am logged out due to E! and M! and M! and M! are reduced to zero while you are logged out, and you are afraid of being sent to the temple. < depends on the level and the amount of M! I found out that the effect time of << symbol> is determined by the level and the amount of M! If it is broken, it will be cut off regardless of the effect time, so it is not necessary to set too long to use it for fighting, but it is important for me, so it is a case of raising the level. However, what I would like to solve immediately is the taste of <. Glutinous rice - Uruchi rice - Buckwheat flour - lotus root - Sesame seeds - Sanyaku - Guixin - Pine bark - Ginseng - Glacial sugar - Honey...... have confirmed that the taste varies from region to region, but even when I try combinations that sound good, they stubbornly end up tasting terrible... .... Materials,Torchlight,Edible!¡¡Pine trees are said to have come in handy during the siege warfare of the Edo period (1603-1867). The pine bark cake made from its sweet bark was delicious, but it was an ordinary dish. The name?¡¡Was it removed from the because it has "Mochi" in the name?¡¡The same goes for yellow dumplings. Three men and women frowning at each other. "Eeeeeeeee!¡¡Bitter." "...... hey this is ......" "So I told you." Offer them water and wait for them to calm down. "Thank you. I was caught off guard by the fact that the food tasted so bad because it was made by homura. After breakfast, Kuzunoha''s story led to a discussion of , and the three interested participants tried it out. By the way, they were able to make a high grade food, and the amount of E! The taste was also worse. It tasted good, but at what a price. Let''s see how it works!" "Yeah, I guess so." At Galahad''s words, still frowning, I leave the safety zone and step into the food route. "Oh no!¡¡Regeneration too fast!" Galahad escapes the attack of the blue-whipped garlic, which he thought he had harvested. "<> is ....... It''s not a route with many demons that can be used as foodstuffs, but it''s really a <>." Camilla, who seems to have appraised the whip-like leaves of the blue-whip garlic, officially known here as , mutters in a dismayed voice, "I''ve never seen such a thing before. "The main ingredient is the underground stem!" Now that I''ve been baptized by a demon I''ve never seen before, let me explain. I don''t dare to tell you what kind of enemies you will encounter, because I don''t think the three of you will fall behind in the enemies along the way, let alone the bosses. Isn''t it fun to meet new enemies for the first time?¡¡The residents may not enjoy it as much as the gentiles do, but I have a casino prize, a revival medicine, so I am willing to revive them responsibly if the need arises. "I see!¡¡[Mega Burn Circle]" Galahad steps toward the blue-whipped wild garlic, and with a powerful motion, he releases a shockwave of skill that causes the leaves that were just about to reach Galahad to fall to the ground and stick to the ground as if they were crushed by a great wind. The flame-clad sword swung down at the center of the leaf shook the ground at the moment of impact, and as the fire from the sword moved to the earth, it burned in a circular pattern and disappeared. The skill seems to have damaged the underground stems as well, leaving a hot cracking effect on the ground for a while, and the leaves do not seem to be recovering. "That''s a bold move!" "Oh, yeah. I don''t like to do things slowly." Galahad grins at my words. "[Boa Severn]" Red Rain Arrow. Eagle swung his sword in the same direction and a muddy stream appeared and swept away the leaves, shredding them. Bow skills often penetrate. In fact, Camilla''s [Red Rain Arrow] was also sucked into the ground, damaging the underground stems. "Yes, I''ve had a lot of bitter experiences with it. I''m not afraid to push my skills a bit with this. "Well, if you''re hungry, you can eat." Aside from the taste, all three seemed to like the effects of . "So?¡¡How did Homra beat this?" "I don''t think he had the power skills to transmit shockwaves like Galahad." Magic? All three of them are looking at me. I am equipped with Krulkan''s staff and am applying enchantments and other auxiliary magic to raise my level. "Like this..." Sword to the right, wand to the left for assistance. Wind magic <<>[Shrink], and pssst. "......" "............" "............homra." Galahad opens his mouth and Camilla slowly looks away. Eagle frowns and calls my name. "What is it?" "You are a mage (...) a magic swordsman of the beginning (????), right?" "Not so long ago." "Why so fast--just a little while ago?" Eagle stops what he is about to say and asks back. "Wait, wait, wait, this is a pattern that makes me panic when I hear it now. Let''s talk about it later. Galahad interrupts Eagle''s questioning. "It''s not that he''s fast, but he''s using [shrinking land]." "[Shrinking the ground] is just closing the distance. Your hands are fast, your hands!" "Don''t talk about people like they''re colorful demons!" "It''s funny. ......?¡¡I was normal when I went around taking down fast bosses. I don''t think it was that long ago. Camilla puts her hand to her cheek and murmurs in confusion. "I hear that Gentiles get more skills and level up faster. --But they don''t, do they? "If all Gentiles were like this, the labyrinth would have reached the depths of the sixty-fifth layer by now." While I was arguing with Galahad, Camilla and Eagle began to talk about something profound. "How did this happen?" "How did this happen?" They said the same thing in their own words at the same time and looked at me. "Is it mainly Galahad''s fault?" Why me? If it was luck that brought us to the gods, it was the power of cooking that brought us here afterwards. "It''s a good thing Galahad was the first person I talked to when I came to this world." Galahad''s eyes widened and he looked away. "Hmm. I''m glad I met Homra too." Camilla smiled, put her arms around me, and gave me a light hug back, resting her cheek against my cheek. I''m told that if it''s a woman, I make a sound with my mouth here, but if it''s a man, it''s silent, but I''m kind of embarrassed to make a sound, so I''ll ask her to spare me. "Gaaaahhhh!¡¡It really is Fer Fasi!" Galahad enters the boss''s room and immediately starts screaming and clutching his head. "Blue!¡¡This is the fel fasi." Hemocyanin, not hemoglobin, is responsible for carrying oxygen in the blood of octopus and squid. It contains copper, which combines with oxygen to produce blue blood. When it is not bound to oxygen, the blood is transparent, and it is rare to see blue blood because it is no longer breathing when it comes to the cutting board at home. In addition, suckers of the same size and neatly arranged are females, while suckers of different sizes are males. This is only a story about octopuses. "No, usually people get used to looking at ......." "It''s hard to get used to going there. I wonder if Sir Tristan and Sir Lamorack got their drops ......?" Camilla interrupts Eagle''s words. "The crabs are huge!" As I was thinking this, a crab came into view, and it was bigger than the last time. It seemed to be stronger this time, so I appraised Fer Fer Fasi and found that it was . Since Farfasi was No.10, it seems that Farfasi is the rarer one here. "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!¡¡The person I was struggling with, with a joke of a demon like a codfish, was given an !" Galahad is still yelling. "Calm down, both of you!" Eagle chided me. The crabs are coming and the boss is about to appear in the movie. It''s over and I have to get serious. 250 - - 248. Crab. "I guess I''d like to secure <>." "I guess." Galahad, who seems to have calmed down after yelling at the eagle, drops an octopus leg as he speaks. I''m the boss, using all kinds of auxiliary magic and distributing it around. I also observe the difference between Far Farsi and Fer Farsi. This time the crabs seem to be ferocious, and they are coming at not only us but also at Fer Fasi. But we can''t be happy to see our enemies grinding each other down. When Fer Fasi is attacked by a crab, its body fluid bubbles and bubbles, and it attacks like crazy, dealing more damage. "Geez!" "It''s angry!" Six octopus legs twisting and turning. They run up these octopus legs to attack the face, but they are so fast that there is no time to spare. And when they pull back, they leave magic behind one by one. A drop of water in the sky, or a flower, or a bird. "Don''t touch me. It''s illusion magic." Camilla warns. Illusion magic is a form of raid-wide H! M!? E! and other status abnormalities such as fear and confusion, and the more people are targeted, the more powerful it becomes. The more people are targeted, the more powerful the effect becomes. "[Illusion magic] is troublesome when enemies use it." I also have [Illusion Magic], but the enemies in the field are usually only from one to six in a group, so it is difficult to raise their level by casting it. I would like to use it at least once to create a mass train of enemies by crossing among active enemies. It''s just a feeling, it''s faster to use attack magic in a row. Illusion Magic] has a large number of magic spells, of course, but it also has a large number of H! and have a means of recovery. Feru Fasi''s [Illusion Magic] is a special kind of magic, or it can be used by leveling up, but it is a magic that activates when you touch it. It disappears after a certain period of time, but it is a nuisance. "Oh, shit!¡¡We''ll have to thin out the crabs." "Okay, I''ll take care of the crabs." I want to actively hunt crabs because my goal is to secure food. Before I know it, Fer Fer Fercy is getting angry when there are too many crabs, and the [illusion magic] is like a minefield. If it only looks like it, it is as fantastic as the name suggests, but the motto "Don''t touch, it''s dangerous" is playing in my brain. "Watch your feet! I''ll draw them this way, but at least one of them will fly that way." "Yeah, I''ll be careful." Galahad''s fighting style is dynamic and cool. He moves with his sword, which is like a wide hunk of metal, swinging it lightly, dropping his feet and moving without feeling its weight. He often parries enemy attacks, but if there is someone behind him, he uses his great sword like a shield to catch the attack. I would be blown away if I did the same thing. I am more of an Eagle fighter than a Galahad fighter, but I am less wasteful, more anticipatory, and sometimes call out to Galahad and Camilla while fighting in a calm and intelligent manner. He is not like me, who thinks nothing when I am wielding a sword! When Camilla uses spells, she looks good too. I like the way her hair and skirt float on the edge of the air as she chants. I''m embarrassed to chant spells myself, and I would laugh if Ochazuke and the others were chanting, because they seem to be tacked on to the gentile''s chanting. Arrows are more effective than magic against Feru Fasi, but in Camilla''s case, her bow skill has not been improved much and she rarely uses it in boss fights. --I was a little worried that my chest would get in the way when I drew the bow, but it was no problem because the string of the bow was not a real string but a thread of light. In addition to the crabs we got last time, we got <<<> and <<<>, and for some reason we got a drop of prawns. I slaughter crabs impatiently, wondering if they are lobsters or prawns. "It''s a pretty close race over here ......" "Oh my god!¡¡If only it smelled as delicious!" Stop the roasted crabs! The three of them did not seem to appreciate the destruction by fire magic. Well, the smell is more burnt than savory, but it sure looks delicious as it turns bright red before shattering into pieces. "<>" We had no choice but to mass-produce frozen crabs. Fighting for a long time. "Okay, that''s enough!" To get the crab drop, I went to the trouble of putting a magic attack in Fer Fasi''s face to heal him and prolong the battle. It would be bad for Galahad and the others if I repeat this too many times, so I''ll end it here. I''m also curious about the ingredients in this new area. "Oh!¡¡Feed me crabs, will you!" "[Knockback sonic]" "Enchant!¡¡!" Eagle knocks back Fel Fasi''s leg as he approaches Galahad, and Camilla casts an auxiliary spell that, by its name, strengthens the attacker''s power. "<><>" I release light and dark magic as I catch sight of Galahad running up the octopus leg. "[Great sword of absolution]! Galahad''s great sword of light swings down on Ferdinand Farsi, flooding him with light. This will break the mask of Ferdowsi. "<>" While the effects of the sword of absolution are converging, the light magic with the power of rotation, the vision turns white again. As the light fades away, Fel Fasi lets out a desperate cry and disappears, crumbling from the tips of his toes as if they were grains of light. I have obtained the title of "First Solo Defeat," "The Blue Illusionist," and I am now the winner of the "First Solo Defeat" title. I got the reward for my first solo defeat, the . Solo defeat of the rare boss < on the 50th basement floor of the labyrinthine ingredient route. This information will remain confidential. I got Fel Fasi''s Star Silk x4. I have the magic stone of Fel Farsi. I got a drop of fel fasi. I got x 5. I got the seeds of the blue illusion. I got < x 10. "You''re a flamboyant guy, Oi." "[Light magic] is all flashy." It''s definitely the character of the god. "It''s as powerful as it looks." "And thanks to the white equipment (shinki), the magic is augmented as much as it can be." Before raising the bar with equipment, I would like to try to maximize the effectiveness of my combat with minimal effort by choosing the right magic and skills to use, as Eagle does, but I am quickly swept away with ease. M!? or using the attributes that are not considered weak points, taking advantage of the fact that they have been strengthened. But this time, I''ll be forgiven, since the purpose is to improve the level of Krulkan''s staff. "Hmmm... I like the way Homura uses magic. "It would be elegant if it weren''t for the baked crabs and frozen crabs." They know! "The rank of the drops is high." It''s a waste to use it as a medicine. "It looks like the other knights have started working on securing it, so we can use it as a medicine when the time comes. I''m not sure if that medicine will cure him. The three of them had drops. I thought it would be the same, but the rank is higher than that of the illusion route. The magic stones themselves are the same, but the higher ranked ones are probably more valuable as materials for production. It is because the success rate of production and the value of the ability to be added tend to increase. I do not use boss''s magic stone for production, so this is just a guess, let''s see what Ochazuke has to say later. >I learned the skill "Illusion Absorbing" when I used it. It seems to be able to absorb the effects of illusion magic and other illusion-related skills applied by the opponent, and to heal the opponent inversely, and so on. The title "Secret Blue Illusionist" means that it can absorb 5% of the damage inflicted by M! recovery, 2% mental enhancement, and one-tenth of the party member''s recovery. It seems that [Secret Red Illusionist] heals from the damage inflicted, and this heals from the damage taken. "I''m a little afraid that I''m going to pass the record of the labyrinth''s attainment level..." But I wonder if this will be officially recognized?" "I think the guild card information says ''hidden''. I''ve never seen anything like this before. Three people are registering their transitions as they speak. "It seems to be a route hidden by the gods, after all." I also release the transition plate with a final touch. "The enemies are strong, strong and usually hard to fight, and to be honest, it''s hard. ......" "So why so much tension?¡¡No, I mean, why isn''t there a sense of tragedy?" "I think it''s mainly because of the guy who''s cooking the crabs there, I think." "What?" I can hear you! >There is a spiny crab of the same name in the real world, a member of the king crab family, but it has the same shape. When you break the shell without being defeated by the spines, the meat pops out from the shell. It gives the impression that the crab was forced to stuff its large body into the shell. The shells are then cracked and shaved so that you can grill and eat them by yourself. < looked like a hybrid of a shrimp and a crab. The meat is boiled in salted water, loosened, and cooked with rice and boiled water. Today''s menu consisted of rice cooked with crab kama, grilled crab, and vinegared kintoki-tako-oh. "Oh, this crab is so beautiful! "They say it''s ready to eat when it''s all orange, right?" is a whitish crab, but when grilled, it turns a bright orange-red color like a blooming flower. It is useful to have a visible sign that the crab is ready to eat, since overcooking it will cause its flesh to become tough. "Oh, I''ve been seeing a glimpse of grilled crabs since the battle, I can''t get enough! It smells great." The shell full of crabmeat from the sunset crab, which was not used for the rice, was grilled a little and served to the three of us with shochu (distilled liquor). As I am not a drinker, it is a mystery to me whether sake tastes good when served in a crab shell, but I have often seen it introduced, so I tried to imitate it. No, wait! I''m just taking a break right now. "We still have a battle to fight, don''t we?" Galahad notices Galahad as he brings the crab shell to his mouth, and Eagle looks ruefully at the shochu-filled shell on the grill. "Oops, excuse me." Galahad''s hand stops him, despite his words, as he is about to down his drink, realizing that the only time he drank during the labyrinth attack was before going to bed. "Galahad?" "Ggh ......." Galahad pulls his hand away with a look of great despair on his face. "Why am I in such a conflict in the depths of the labyrinth? Why am I struggling like this in the depths of the labyrinth? "What are you talking about, we weren''t brought here for the ingredients in the first place." "Oh, we''re about to break the record for deepest labyrinth attack for ingredients. ......" Eagle began to look distant at Camilla''s words that soothed Galahad. "Give up." Camilla tells both Galahad and Eagle to cut it out. "Wait a minute, Camilla?¡¡What are you trying to make me give up? ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ...more... Title [The Secret Blue Illusionist] Skills Illusion absorption ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ 251 - - The Meat "Forgive the garlic and wine. No garlic or wine is allowed to enter the temple. <> means and refers to pungent vegetables with a strong smell such as leeks, chives, garlic, and pungent taste, not to mention sake. If you eat them to keep your mind away from troubles as they have a tonic effect to increase lust, you will not be allowed to enter the temple!¡¡A rule. --You know what they say about ascetic garlic, right?¡¡It is said that garlic was indispensable for the severe ascetic practices. I wonder if it''s the difference between indoor and outdoor ...... smell-wise. "Can we expect meat? ......" I have garlic, then crustaceans (crabs, shrimps) and cephalopods (octopus), let me hope for the best. "No, no?" Galahad''s cryptic reply was followed by a whisper, and he was heard muttering ...... if he was right about gathering ingredients. "This place is a level stronger than the other routes on the same level, and if we follow the traditional labyrinthine nature, the enemies along the way will be tricky from this level onward. Let''s be on our toes." "Yes, sir." Eagle''s words change his attitude. We have the ingredients and the name of the ingredients, but the enemy is a demon. We exit the transfer room and open the door to the next level. Labyrinths are often described as because the boundary to the next level is often in the form of a descending staircase. In some cases, such as in this case, you simply pass through a door to the next area, and it is not clear whether the labyrinth really extends downwards or not. The new area is a brown cave with sparse grass here and there, and a stone monument. "What is it?" ", magic with a restraining effect is useful against rushing enemies. "Fire will not miss the enemy, burn within the enclosure!¡¡<>" Camilla uses a magic to cover the enemy on all sides with a wall of flame. This is a magic I can''t use yet, but I wonder how many levels it is.¡¡Camilla used to use <, which I learned at level 40, but <> is not on the list. This time, I am getting help from M! We can use recovery medicine and food as much as we want, and we can see the skills that Galahad and his friends usually don''t use because we encourage them to raise their skill level. We are glad to be able to observe them on the road while making light conversation with them, since it is often difficult to see them slowly during boss battles. The enemies are getting much stronger, but we are able to push our way with our skills. While being thanked, I was warned by Eagle that it is not good to get used to this. "You''re roasting the whole thing. ......" "Don''t burn Camilla, too!" "I''m a fire magician by nature!" I was thinking about my skills and Eagle''s tweet took me in an unexpected direction. "I just ate and I''m already hungry." "Whose fault is it, whose!" "Oh, my God, whose fault is it?" Galahad grinds his index finger on my cheek and Camilla on my chest. "Even I have been poisoned ......." And Eagle grilling his own temples . The pig demon is <, its original name is <>. Is this a good idea if you make pork cutlets before an examination or a game? Besides meat, horns are also dropped, but I''m not sure if I can sell them in the market or not. Would it be OK if the drop is around the level that the Flame King and Roy and his friends have reached?¡¡I have accumulated quite a few items that I don''t use. "Same square footage all the way around?¡¡It''s weird." After entering the fifty-third layer, the path was basically a round cave with occasional small rooms. In the cave, one encounters a few demons such as pigs, sheep, and cows, but the number of demons is small compared to the previous areas. They seem to be herded together in small rooms rather than in caves, which are the basic passageways. I wonder what they are?¡¡There are no noticeable obstacles, so it''s not like it''s a replacement at all." Galahad is right, it is indeed strange. There is no sign of human intervention, yet it continues in a constant expanse, and there is no sign of water, yet there are smooth areas on the walls and ceilings. "This looks like it has been scrubbed ...... many times in the same position." Eagle makes a guess as he touches the slippery area. Gaaaahhhhhhhhhh! "Uh-oh!" "Aah!" "What? "Oh?" Suddenly, there was a cry of something, and the earth shook so much that my body shook. He hurriedly summons his [kuroyoh], raises his defenses, and gets into a fighting stance. The sound of thudding and shaking approached, and what appeared was something rounded and packed in the shape of a cave, with only a dragon-like face. No, it is only its huge body and the wings that wrap around it that make it look round, but it is running on stout legs. It is quite fast, or rather, very fast. Before I can think, Galahad pulls me by the collar and takes me into a small room nearby. A dragon-like creature passes in front of the room without slowing down, and a sheep shows its willingness to f*ck with the intruder. I thank Galahad and reflect on the need to strengthen my reflexes in such situations, and for the time being, I slaughter the sheep that is my immediate enemy. "I thought it was coming at me, but it looks like it just passed me by. "It''s almost as big as a cave, so you can''t turn, can you?" While Eagle and I were killing the sheep, Galahad and Camilla peeked out from a small room into a passageway where a dragon-like creature had passed. "The blue horn on its forehead, isn''t that the blue of the monument?" Eagle''s words came as he finished defeating the sheep, and then, "Gakko! Then the earth rumbles again. "Ugh!" The two of them hurriedly withdraw their bodies into a small room. "That one had yellow horns!" "Or maybe there are several of them, and even if they don''t fight, they bump into each other somewhere on their own, and if they all turn red, the whole area explodes or some such gimmick." The clattering sound is probably the sound of dragon-like creatures colliding with each other. "Whoo!" Galahad makes a funny noise at my prediction. "I don''t like it, but I think Homura''s prediction is right. We''d better get on with it." Eagle urges me to leave the room and proceed. "I wonder if we can beat that thing." "If I beat it, will the last explosion be loose?" "I''ll give it one try to see if I can beat them once I get to the exit, but I don''t want the whole area blown to hell." As Galahad said, it is too risky to try it for a while, so we head for the exit while avoiding the dragon. On the way to the exit, we encountered a blue horn that prevented us from escaping into a small room. We stopped to avoid being run over and engaged it, but after inflicting a certain amount of damage, the horn turned yellow and went back in the direction we had come from as if nothing had happened. "It didn''t run over me, but it also disabled the stall. "That''s just part of the labyrinth that can''t be beaten." It''s some kind of trap. Labyrinths and dungeons have explosive floors, beds of spears, and other traps that could not have been created naturally, even in places that are supposed to be untouched by human hands. The logic behind these traps is a mystery, but they are accepted by the inhabitants as something that occurs in the dungeon, just like treasure chests. There have been many studies on the mechanism, but it is said that the mechanism has not been clarified yet. Yeah, sorry, it''s a game. But still, it''s quite terrible that they don''t allow us to secure the meat slowly in the real time attack area. There may be a certain pattern, but to study it, I feel that I have to dive several times and die several times. From the description of the monument, it seems to me that it is a forced return to death. The yellow explosion also took a uniform amount of damage to everyone, regardless of their defenses. For now, let''s secure meat in the 52nd layer and run through the 3rd and 4th layers. I''ll leave it to those who like to examine the patterns! "Ugh. Homura''s magic at full blast is terrible. "It''s funny, it''s not the same magic." "I was surprised at Frostflower, but it seems to be getting worse." Don''t call it bad! And we arrived at the boss''s room without incident. "I don''t like not knowing when the bomb is going to explode because I''m in a hurry. Galahad looks restless as he takes a bite of the deli bread. There are two kinds of bread: one with bacon and eggs and the other with yakisoba noodles. Galahad and I drink milk, Camilla drinks orange juice, and Eagle drinks coffee. E! It''s a recovery, but it''s a little uncomfortable. "The yolk is cooked perfectly. Eagle seems to like the bacon and egg buns, and is the only one who seems calm despite the fidgeting, including myself. "Why are you so calm?" "Somehow I always seem to hear a bump, and didn''t we pass a blue one before we got here?¡¡Unless I hear that thing turn yellow one more time, it won''t explode." Eagle answers Galahad''s question with a cool face. "I see." If we knew how many of them there were, we could count the sounds of their collisions and make a more accurate prediction, but for now this is good enough. Galahad and Camilla seem satisfied with the results and seem to have calmed down. Then, in the boss''s room, a reddish-bronze minotaur with a huge axe was waiting for us. "Flesh ......?" "Don''t turn your head in wonder when you see the boss!" 252 - - The Minotaur A large room made of the same brown earth as on the road. "Three exits?" Eagle''s words made me look around, and I saw two exits, one on each side and one behind the minotaur, through which light leaked. The reason why we can see them clearly even though they are far away is that they are dimly lit and the exit points are wide open. Just as I was about to take a closer look at the light, the Minotaur screamed at the center of the room. With that cry, the effect of small masonry walls and a stone floor spread around the Minotaur, and in no time at all the surroundings became like a labyrinth (...) of corridors. The place that looked like a large room of an ant''s nest leading from a round cavern, has turned into a dark and cold labyrinth formed by straight lines and right angles, and the exit that I had been looking at is now hidden from view. Once again the Minotaur howls. Once again, the minotaur howls, a strange voice that is indistinguishable, low and high-pitched, thick and thin, or leaking from its throat. But it is a voice that anyone who hears it knows is the sound of a delighted laugh when it has found something to torture. It is not a bumo-oh-oh. ......What''s that?¡¡I thought it was Bumooooooo, but it sounded like Bumooooooo. "Bumoo-oh-oh?" "Bumo?" "Oh, stop it, you''re making it sound like Bumooooo!" "Homura, will you please stop involving me?" I tried saying it out loud for a minute, and it seemed that everyone could hear "bumooooooo" without any problems. "Oh my God, I don''t feel tense at all! "We are supposed to be risking our lives with this hierarchy. I''m losing my mind." I can''t help it! Camilla casts a spell over Galahad, who starts running toward the minotaur. I cast a supportive spell and Eagle is ready to heal immediately. Galahad and Eagle rarely run into each other for the first blow unless they know what to do. Camilla''s blinding magic lands just a few seconds after Galahad''s blow. "What? Between the magical effects, an axe runs sideways into the space where Galahad jumped. "Oh no!¡¡Neither magic nor sword is working on this guy! The Minotaur''s body is revealed when the effects disappear, not a single scratch on it, and it disappears with a clang of several streaks of static-like light. I wonder if it is a promise to emphasize his pectoral muscles when he makes a cracking sound. "It seems like the magic itself is being repelled, so it might not be due to the difference in attributes. "Some kind of skill or ability unique to demons?" "It won''t accept damage except from weak points, or you need a special item ......!" As she speaks, Camilla fires an arrow at the minotaur''s eye, but Galahad steps in and swings his axe at it without seeming to pay any attention. The arrow, which should have hit the target, was bounced off insanely and rolled on the floor. Galahad''s back and head hit the wall as hard as they could, and the axe fell on him as he staggered. "<>!" A bell appears above the Minotaur''s head and falls with a thud. The spell has a restraining effect, but as expected, it is quickly dispelled. In the time it takes for the spell to dissipate, and in the few moments it takes for the Minotaur to strike a pectoral pose, the Eagle pulls Galahad''s arm. "Oh shit!¡¡It''s heavy!" "55 layers, as expected, once the distance..." "Bumoooooooooooo!" No more bum-o''s! The two of them shouted in chorus at the Minotaur, which was running away from them even though they were in trouble. "You can afford to be so snippy with a demon that''s struggling!" Whose fault is it? While Camilla pinches me lightly, I try out a few magic spells with different attributes. The same effect appears and I get bounced, but it is not in vain because I stop and make a pose to emphasize my pectoral muscles. It''s a little creepy, though, as it slowly approaches you. "Maybe he wants me to lead him to one of the first three exits I see?" I slowly back down while continuing to attack with magic. The fact that the passage to the next boss''s room is open while it is usually closed is also puzzling, and I can only assume that it was deliberately shown at the beginning. It''s possible. Not only in this labyrinth, but also in other dungeons, clues are given to advance while the path is blocked. "Do you want me to defeat a demon that you have created or that has been created?" "Or do you want to kill the stronger ones in a deeper place?" It seems that some difficult philosophies have arisen among the inhabitants about the nature of dungeons. I don''t have time to think about it, let''s just follow Eagle until we get some distance. "Okay." "Go ahead, I''m the fastest and can slow them down. At every fork, yell right, left, and so on. Camilla and I talk briefly while keeping the Minotaur at bay. "Yes, sir." With their approval, we all <. "Go!" "Don''t screw up!" Seeing the three of them start to run, the minotaur yells and restrains himself from rushing forward. The Minotaur seems to freeze in a pose of breast-breaking, like a frame-by-frame record of the three of them. "Left!" "Right!" Galahad and the others turn two corners, and I follow them, using my nostalgic [earth magic] level 2< for the last time. Eagle is the fastest, Galahad is the second, and Camilla the wizard is the last. The residents are seldom extremely slow and fixed-arms type like the gentiles (players). Well, in the case of the residents, there is no stats swing, but it is a natural progression, but it is possible to make some hopes come true by using some items. "Hold on". over Camilla and hold her sideways. "Kya!" "Bumooooo!" "He''s pretty fast. You''re gonna have to hold him back." "Okay!" The backward magic means that Camilla will be able to look behind her and remain stable while I hold her sideways with my upper body snuggled up against hers. That''s a perk. In Greek mythology, a thread was stretched out to mark the way home. In this situation, I can only imagine that if I stretch a thread, it would get caught and break, or else the Minotaur would cut it off. Except for the skill "thread". "Left. Right is a dead end." "Oh!" "Thank God!" We run through a labyrinth of dead-ends and twists and turns, divided by masonry walls, just like you would expect to find in an old man-made labyrinth. The torches are burning, so it is not dark enough to trigger [night vision], but not so bright that you can see what is ahead. "If we hit a dead end, they''ll definitely catch up with us. "I hope we don''t have to go back down the road under that axe." Camilla sighs around my collarbone. <, or maybe it''s because I never went to the cul-de-sac, but the minotaur is already gone. "Bumooooooooooo!!!!" "Whoa!" With a cry, the wall of the passageway we have just passed breaks down, and a huge axe thrusts out. The huge, reddish-bronze body is just visible through the rattling and crumbling stone walls, and without waiting for the dust to settle, Camilla unleashes her magic. Oh no!¡¡From the wall!" Galahad shouted but did not stop, and neither did Eagle. I was thinking about the perks, and I have to confess that I was quite surprised and stopped for a moment. After chasing for a while, I found out that if you are too far away from the minotaur, it will break the wall and take a short cut. We didn''t enter the dead end, but we did find a treasure chest on our search with [string], so if you are confident enough to get around the axe, you might want to give it a try. "There''s the exit!" Just as Eagle said, we see a white light at the end of the turn, and the four of us roll out. We emerge into a western reddish-brown wilderness in the morning sun, with clods of the same color floating in the air, as if pulled out of the ground. "Well, let''s see if we can start a counterattack..." Galahad grins, slings his great sword over his shoulder, and turns toward the exit of the minotaur''s labyrinth from which he had just emerged. "I''m curious about the fact that there were three of them." Eagle casts a [sacred magic] spell that also restores energy. He drops Camilla, who is still in a sorry state of mind, and uses [Kuroyoh] to increase her defense and provide other aids, and Camilla uses M! She takes a recovery medicine. "Bumooooooooooo!" The minotaur emerges from the labyrinth and swings his huge, awkward-looking battle-axe lightly to the ground and howls. Wind pressure pushes against him, and the air shakes with a shiver. "You came!¡¡Beefcake." Galahad, perhaps feeling the stress of running for his life, does not wait for Camilla''s magic to work and charges in. Galahad slashes at the minotaur''s side, slashing it under the swinging axe and wounding it in the side. Before the minotaur can make its next move, Camilla casts a spell. This time, unlike in the labyrinth, the minotaur does not stop moving, but seems to be unharmed as a static-electric effect plays out. "Yes! "Oh, so the magic doesn''t work." "There were three places, so I''m guessing it''s physical here." One of the other two places could be magic." I later confirmed that the sunset was magic, just as Eagle and I had predicted, and the daylight was something that worked both magic and physical, but with half damage. "Well, it''s a big place, I''ll join you. I quickly switch my staff to a bow, and I take out my sword as Camilla does the same. Three close combatants are inefficient in a place as narrow as a corridor, but I think we''ll be okay here. Just as the minotaur steps forward to turn toward Galahad, I make a "Shrinking Ground" attack, aiming for his axe finger. If you use [Shrink] when the enemy''s attention is on you, you may inadvertently jump into the weapon, so do not use it too often. The skill that seemed to ignore physical defense had been quiet until now, but now it seems to be working. It is a useful effect, so we can''t just rely on it since it seems that the later bosses are taking various countermeasures against it. "I''m sure you''ll be fine, but don''t get hit!" Galahad calls out to me. "I know, thank you!" Galahad could not withstand it, so it is not difficult to imagine that I would have been blown away if I had been hit by it. There is a limit to what I can do with my sword, and I don''t think I have any other choice but to evade. We avoid the minotaur, and by attacking, we stop the minotaur''s attacks on the two of us. We repeatedly attack each other to reduce the minotaur''s strength. It is easier to read the enemy''s attacks when soloing, but it is easier to avoid them thanks to the two players'' follow-up attacks. "You''re so focused, even though the road is full of skirmishes. "This is a confidence builder, because the magic is so powerful." "Because there''s only one thing to think about." No, two?¡¡An enemy to defeat (minotaur) and friends to protect. The minotaur swings his axe with no weight, but the sky it tears open creates a wind that tells us it has a certain mass. He continues his sword dance with the minotaur in the center of his field of vision, looking at him without looking at him. "Bumooooooooo!" The color of the Minotaur''s body changes to bright red, and it is blown away by the energy that accompanies the yell. Ignoring us, he seems to be gathering his strength as he rests his axe on the ground, his hands on the pommel, and shivers in a slumped posture. "Is the ground shaking, too?" Camilla''s words made me aware of the ground, and sure enough, it was shaking. "The ground is shaking, too." The first sound I heard was like the Minotaur''s yell, and it grew louder and louder. "<>!¡¡Maybe there''s an earthquake coming, on top of the clod!" He < on the three of them for insurance and jumps onto a cone-like block of earth with no flat surface above it. We got the title of for the first solo defeat. . Solo defeat of floor boss < on the 55th basement floor of the labyrinthine ingredient route. This information will remain confidential. I''ve got the horns of the Minotaur x4. I have obtained 5 Minotaur skins. I have the magical stone of the Minotaur. I got 10 first stomachs of white cattle. I got 5 tongues of white beef. . I got the Axe of the Minotaur. x 1 obtained. "Okay. £¡£¡£¡£¡" Not minotaur meat: £¡£¡£¡£¡£¡£¡ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ Increase ... Title. [Creator of the labyrinth] ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ 253 - - 251. Return When the skill stone <> is used, the skill ¡¾Labyrinth Creation?Space¡¿is learned. It seems that after learning the first skill, "Labyrinth Creation/Space," the same skill stone <> is used to learn labyrinth-related skills at random. The title "Creator of Labyrinth" is a benefit for dungeon management, specifically, you can get the title "Creator of Labyrinth" with H! or M! or M! is consumed when creating a dungeon, but this consumption is reduced. There is a cave leading from the sea on the island where there is a private house, so maybe I should set it up at the back of the cave.¡¡I have more work to do, even though neither the house nor the garden is complete! "Another skill that has nothing to do with knights." "...... me too . I''m also leveled up." "That''s fine, Galahad has a lot of adventurer''s skills to begin with. I know you think Eagle is a little sensitive about it, but why don''t you just give up?" Camilla says lightly to the two men who are looking as delicate as her words. "What?" "Imperial knights have a tendency to think that non-knightly skills are evil for a knight, especially those with . But the skills you learn from the bosses are often very powerful. It was elite! "And Camilla?" "I''m not a knight, as you can see, I belong to the Court Mages." Camilla is somewhat proud of herself.¡¡It is a bit complicated, but I heard that you can get the title if you pass the trials even if you are not a [knight]. The ordeal is severe, and it is said that it is slightly easier to pass the ordeal for those in close proximity to the knight. --I''m very curious about the legendary civil official. "Well, it makes it easier to resist the old man''s skills, and I have no intention of going back, so it''s all good. Galahad, who is fine but does not look too happy. He is a knight who has undergone trials. It is impossible for him not to be attached to it. "Is Cal''s skill the one that makes you kneel?" "Oh. It can be resisted with some spirit, but it works better with a higher percentage of knightly skills. "Thank goodness I don''t have any knightly skills." No, really. Manipulative skills, both mental and physical, are weird. "No, you''re the one who''s gonna bring me to my knees now, okay?" What? The old man. "That was quite embarrassing and I would like you to stop it." Fuso and Hop, Peter''s gaze was painful. "I''m afraid it should be possible to force Lancelot-sama to kneel, but I don''t think Homura is going to do it. "It seems to me that Lancelot-sama kneels normally, too, so I doubt that forcing him to kneel will work." Eagle and Camilla are whispering. After defeating the boss, all we had to do was register for the transfer and return, but we were served a meal at our request. Meat, of course, was the main course. First, the loin was deep-fried. The pan is tilted and a lot of oil is repeatedly poured over the meat, but if it is done well, the moisture is removed just right and the flavor of the meat is concentrated. The fat of the meat itself is also melted, so that only the flavor and aroma you want to preserve is locked in, and the surface becomes brown and browned, giving it even more flavor and aroma. Be careful not to let the temperature rise too high, or both the oil and the meat will oxidize. Then there is the beef tongue with barley grated yam set meal. Beef tongue with the skin on is not a good looking beef tongue for me, but fortunately it was a block of meat with the skin removed. The original part is marbled and tender, so it was cut into thick slices, and the part near the end is tough, so it was cut into thin slices. Tororo (grated yam) was made from Fuso yam, and pickled cabbage was served on the side. To be honest, I couldn''t think of any other way to cook beef tongue!¡¡I''ll look into it later. "Smells good." Camilla gives a little twitch of her shapely nose. "You could have made this in your luggage, but going to the trouble of making it right in front of you is a foul!" "I like my meat cooked right in front of me." The sounds, aromas, and color changes are delightful. Sake! "Yes, by all means." "We''re just going home." Drooling Galahad and happy Eagle and Camilla, celebrating the successful conclusion of their boss''s conquest. But now, what kind of sake goes well with beef tongue?¡¡Would wine or beer work with the meat?¡¡No, what about yam and wine?¡¡I heard that there is a sake for beef tongue in Sendai, so let''s go with sake. Junmai-shu, junmai-ginjo-shu, which has a mild aroma, lightness and sharpness - as usual, I rely on the information on the items, but what is it?¡¡I can only judge it as sake because it burns my throat when I drink it. "Good meat!¡¡This sake is good too!" I was subtle with my skills, but now I''m in a good mood even before I''m drunk. "Kyaaa!¡¡What''s this?" Camilla''s yam was too sticky, and it seemed to have been lifted up. Maybe I should have loosened it up a little more with the broth. "What is this black stuff? "Oh, it''s pepper paste. You can put it on if you like. Two kinds of pepper paste, one made by stretching fresh pepper with olive oil and the other with yuzu kosho, are served with the grilled loin. The salt is a foul one given to me by Ruscha, but I only have < pepper, so it does not rank well with the salt. However, I wanted to add some spiciness to the dish, so I added this. "This is interesting because it''s thin but has a nice crunchy texture. Galahad is right that the tongue of white beef is more crispy and tender. "Thanks to you, we have good meat. Thank you." I thanked him again and went to eat. I feel happy, perhaps because I am eating with my close friends after a hard day''s work. "Oh, by the way, demons!" Just when you think you''ve gulped down your barley rice, Galahad suddenly brings up the subject of ogres. "Yeah?" "Just so you know, if the old man and I are a bad influence on Homura, we''ll force you out, okay?" "What?" "The demons that Homura had with him. They seemed friendly, but those ogres are happy to kill you if you pretend to be friendly with them, or even after you''ve become really friendly with them. "We''ve only read about it in the literature, so let''s wait and see and not make any assumptions right now. But I don''t think there''s anything out of the ordinary. Galahad''s words are energetic, and the conversation proceeds briskly and cheerfully in spite of the content. "No, I think we''ll be fine." And it''s signed. "There are all kinds of people in the world. Homura is usually so careless, it worries me." "It''s not good to be silent and doubtful, I''ll tell you that first. If you want to be friends with him, you should ask him for his signature, not just his handprint. "If you get the signatures, it''s as if you''ve entrusted your soul to them, and if anything happens to Homura, you''ll be weakened. I already got your signature, remember?" For a while I was the only one munching on my food. I''m not a drinker, so I order a nice cup of green tea!¡¡I went to Fuso in winter, so next time I must go raiding for tea in the season of fresh tea. No, I had to get the handbills for the hot springs and Baekbong first. I want to get the signatures, too, I think, but I have an impression from the boss battle that his character seems to be troublesome, so I have been staying away from him for some reason. "Ahhhh.... Another groundless fear." "All four of them you had with you?" "Oh. There''s another one who got a bill, but I''m not going to call him out on it." He is wearing a loincloth and a happi coat, after all. And the other three who I haven''t evoked much, [Koryu], [Karasu Tengu], and [Kagewani], also have signatures, but - Kagewani, how did he sign? "I''m glad you care, thank you." I am so happy that I can''t help but smile. Dessert was mini taiyaki and soft ice cream. The taiyaki had a crispy and savory crust, the sweet red bean paste was not too sweet, and the soft serve ice cream had a gentle taste with a full flavor of milk. The soft-serve ice cream was soft and gentle with a full-flavored milk taste. Everyone drank warm green tea. "Homura, can you make alchemy yet?" "I still make mistakes, but I can do it." are created by multiplying , but I don''t really know what to use them for and they are currently sitting in storage. It is strange that it is not a primary material even though its name is "raw material". Maybe blacksmiths and sewers will use it as a higher level material of <> in the future. "Oh, I''ve heard a good thing..." "I hear that alchemy has a certain rate of failure even if the level of alchemy increases. If you want, I can sell it to you. "Sure, but what''s the use?" What is the use? "If you wear it, it''s easier to raise the corresponding status when you level up." I''ve already spent what I had," Eagle continues. "Unlike the Gentiles, we are not free to choose. Galahad, who has switched from sake to beer, speaks of the difference between the residents and the gentiles. "I see. What kind of material do you want?¡¡A set?" No, it only works up to two. Two of the same or one of each. Do you have any suggestions for homura?¡¡If not, I would be happy with ." If you are limited to two, does that mean you are using to do the same two-point stakes as the player? "Okay, red. The materials are attribute stones, so you can just pack them up for the grocery store purchase again. I got all the ingredients this time." Red and crimson are Asha''s colors, and she wants to increase her power. He takes it out of storage and gives it to her, wondering why she is asking me for a recommendation. I''ve already gotten all the ingredients, so this is easy for me. It is night when I go outside, and it is already late in the real world, so there are not many people around. Let''s go back to the general store with Galahad and go to the house. I would like to sleep in my room in the general store, but I will log out to be safe. I want to raise the level of wards and charms and sleep normally as soon as possible. Tomorrow, when I get home from work, I''ll do a bit of searching on the net to come up with a menu for the gods. I want to make more variations of puddings. Cloak test result [It''s obvious that the gods are in the garden, I can feel it. Hand armor appraisal result [......mm] Oh, yeah.

The fire is lit by . The minotaur drops a skewer into the loin of white beef, and covers it with the salt of the sacred offering. When it is roasted over the charcoal fire, it crackles and the excess salt bursts off. The tools are made with the Ruscha brand. "Meat!" I can almost feel Falu''s fidgety gaze piercing me, but can''t he just eat his appetizer quietly?¡¡I put in a branch, thinking. "What''s that branch?" Fidgeting with Fal and sipping his aperitif, Val peeks out at us curiously and pokes at us. Can''t you just sit like this? "A grape branch. It has a slight scent of firewood." The smell is nontoxic and useful--yes. Of course, we have never done anything like this in an ordinary house in the real world. "I''m the one showing you how it''s done, so don''t be shy." Ruscha with an icy smile. "You look like you''re having a hard time, let''s get some help." Dru clapped her hands and the maid appeared. No, it''s not that hard to cook. It''s just that it''s taking a long time because of the interruptions... or maybe it''s Val who has a knack for snacking on things when they''re not ready. ....... Oh, you called me to bring the food over there. A girl in glasses with white hair pulled back and a cap on, dressed in a Victorian afternoon maid''s outfit. Well, I wouldn''t mind if it was a guy. Victorian maids often wore cheap and durable clothes in the mornings because they mainly worked as cleaners, but in the afternoons, when the aristocrats were getting up for socializing, the most visible maids changed into their familiar black dresses and white aprons. They also seem to have worn white collars and cuffs only when serving customers. Well, I guess it''s hard to wear that white when the cuffs get dirty, but it breaks my dream a little. --The maid in full gear bowed silently to me and brought the dishes for Dulu and the gods one after another. Her long dress flutters a little as she moves. I love it!¡¡The stockings are black, too. The British of that era were very particular about their legs, so much so that if they wore white, they could be fired. "Don''t you want some?" "No, I don''t feel comfortable letting Homura cook alone." Tascha asked Asha, who only tipped her cup and did not touch the food, and this was her reply. I really wonder why I was wearing pants the first time I met this god, too bad. "Well, I guess we should eat too. It was interesting to see all the things you showed me, thank you. "I''m glad you enjoyed it." The food can be made in storage, but Ruscha wanted to see the process, so we made some of it. The alcoholic beverages were prepared first and served to Tasya, the master of the hour. Most of the vegetables were provided by Dru. <, the gods were all there, as we had expected. And the banquet began in the midst of the gods. I knew what to expect and had some idea of the menu, so I was safe. Bamboo shoots on rice with beef stew on top, rice balls of all kinds, and inari rice balls decorated with salmon roe and sprouts, leaving the mouth open for Vers. The bread, on the other hand, has a few textures and aromas that do not interfere with the taste of the food. A number of appetizers called "snacks for sake" and the meat dish I mentioned earlier. And the crab shabu-shabu. "Oh?" The crab legs, already shelled and prepped, are dipped in a broth made from crab and kelp. Val screams with delight as the white crab meat shrivels up like a blooming flower. You can eat it as it is with ponzu (Japanese sauce made from ponzu citrus juice) or dip it in the miso paste from the shell roast. Next to the crab shabu-shabu, the grilled crabs are also roasting and making an appetizing smell. "Over-boiling and over-cooking will ruin the taste, so keep going!" Once they have shown you how they do it, the rest of the goddesses are just watching and enjoying the shabu-shabu. "Hmm, interesting ......" One Verna''s tempo is different, but she''s probably excited: ....... "Oh, beautiful Verna, goddess of the night, my sister!¡¡I, Verus here, have unwrapped the crab!¡¡You brother!" Ah yes, I''m glad the modifier was shortened. I mean, Verna, who is being offered the words, is still a cat-ear girl, which is very strange ...... strange. The sake is a refined and gentle sake that has no habit to be used for crab shabu-shabu with its subtle sweetness. For grilled crab, which is more savory and delicious, sake with a strong flavor. Both of them are made from what is called Junmai Daiginjo. "Oh, oh. "Oh, oh, it''s delicious!" "Mm, it''s good." Dul and Tascha are enjoying their drinks and calmly eating their food. The food is neatly arranged on platters and in pots and pans. The maids who serve the gods don''t seem to be eating, so I''ll wrap up a lunch later. I''m sorry, I didn''t really know how to arrange the food. I only thought about the color! Crispy fried prawns with green rice batter, dipped in lemon juice mixed with herbs and crispy. Oh, yummy!¡¡Long live the food route. Despite her appearance, Lusha loves spicy and hot food, and is eating shrimp with cilantro. Chili peppers are another ingredient I can''t wait to pick up. Dulu''s vegetables are as delicious as ever, and my main course today is a salad. The gods seem to prefer meat and crab, even though they are much lower in rank. The rest of the time is spent drinking, eating, and relaxing. "Homura-sama, I''m sorry I''m late..." The maid who had been serving the guests seemed to be free, and greeted me. She picked up the hem of her dress and dropped to her knees. I am Ur-Lolo. My brother is at your service. "Yes, it''s nice to meet you. ...... brother?" Hmm? "I''m just that pathetic, reclusive guy over there." "I''m a shut-in ......" I can only think of one thing. I look at the cuff and see Kulkarnikan''s face. "Excuse me, sir." Ur-Lolo grabs him by the hand and pulls him out. "What are you doing? Krulkan, you could speak so clearly. And you could definitely take human form, couldn''t you? "Rollo!¡¡How dare you treat me like this!" "It was long ago that my brother became king with jet-black scales and four pairs of wings. Now I serve Master Dur. "d*mn!¡¡That''s how you treat your brother!" "My brother is the great winged serpent. He has dropped the birds of the air and outstripped the dragons ......,huh!" Kulurkan, which had been hanging from Ur-Lolo, was taken by a black object. The sight of his face frozen in astonishment at the empty object in his hand gives me the feeling that he is a battle maid. "Ah... --Bahamut!" "Pi FISH!" I called out to him and he immediately returned with a kulurkan in his mouth in our small yard. "Yes, yes, pet it. I''ll give you this instead." He jumped into Bahamut''s arms and showed him a piece of jerky made from white beef loin. "Pigyah!" A piece of kulurkan drops from his mouth and he bites into the jerky. I have a strange feeling that the figure with the jerky in its mouth is not so different from the one with the kurulkan in its mouth. Kulurkan, jerky theory. "Don''t carelessly say he''s stronger than a dragon." Me picking up Kulurkan, careful of Ur-Lolo. It has teeth marks. "Beyond my speed!¡¡If it''s just speed, I''m not even as fast as my brother in his prime right now." I''m wannabe wannabe wannabe. He holds Bahamut in one hand while looking at Ur-Lolo, who seems to be in shock, and he treats Kulurkan and cleans up his drool. I''ve gotten used to working one-handed since I often get hugged by Lapidus and Noel when I go to the grocery store. "Uh, are you the keeper of Dru''s fields?" Two pairs of winged white snakes were supposedly hunting vegetable thieves. "...... for your amusement. Yes, I''m usually assigned to guard Master Dur''s fields. By the way, what''s with the dragon?" "Bahamut, the Dragon King. The most powerful dragon I know." "Pigyah!" Krulkan, who had been lying limp, runs to the cuff of Bahamut, who squeals in a good mood. "Bahamut ......" Ur-Lolo looks at Bahamut in his arms with incredulous eyes. "Gah!" Gah, gah, gah!¡¡A low threat that can''t be described as a threat. "...... hihi!" Ur-Lolo, a small white snake, escapes into the same cuff as Kulurkan. "No, wait, why the cuffs? I know Bahamut is strong, so I won''t make unnecessary threats. They are small, but they are very strong, maybe. I remember the first time I met him, I was covered in sweat just standing in front of him. It''s funny, the gods that Cal and Reno were hit by are also out of the wind. Am I getting dull? "Oh, sorry about our watchman. They say they feel at home in dark, damp holes. And they like to wrap themselves around sticks." "We''re over capacity, so please do something." Appeals to Dru to explain the ecology of winged serpents. I tickled the throat of Bahamut, who was in a good mood, with my fingertips and waited for him to come out, but he showed no sign of coming out as the two snakes started to take their places at the place where he had escaped. "Oh, my, my, my. "Oh, my goodness, they''re doing quite nicely." "Ur-Lolo, this is where I wound up first!" "The firmness and thickness are ideal." I feel like my arm is being obscene to Ur-Lolo. "Here, boys. Don''t bother." Dru''s one word and the two animals are let out without resistance. "Oh ....... I''m sorry, Mr. Dru." Ur-Lolo returns from the white snake to her original maid appearance. "What, I used to live there! "No, residence is denied." "Yeah, yeah!¡¡My husband ......!" Krulkan is devastated and weeps. If you feel sorry for him, you''ll lose. Dessert was sorbet made from the strawberry seeds Dulu had given Bai, and Hal''s milk ice cream. Fruit punch made with sparkling white wine. The strawberries, oranges, and pineapple in the glasses are colorfully covered with bubbles. --Cider for me. Strawberry cake for Tascha. Chili powder covered potato chips for Ruscha, who doesn''t like sweets. Serving the gods are Ur-Lolo, a maid, and Krulkan, who has been assigned to assist his sister with educational instruction. The butler with dark hair, white face and spectacles, the family orderly?¡¡I can''t tell which way the guy is dressed, but I knew you could take human form!¡¡And I''m so good with my hands that I''m not a hermit. I''ll put arm guards on the cuffs to prevent them from getting in. I wonder if the glasses are a hobby of the management. "Plin!" "Yes, yes, I''ve got it." Creamy, loose, melt-in-your-mouth pudding in a jar. The pudding is firm, with a robust egg flavor, sweet and bittersweet, and exquisite caramel that doesn''t lose its shape when transferred to a serving dish. Looking at Verna happily eating the pudding, it seems that she prefers the hard pudding. I wonder if she likes the bitterness in the sweetness. The sight of her eating the pudding with a delicious smile makes me feel relaxed. ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ I made a map for a little request and thought it would be better to know the location of the site. I''ll put the address on the map in case some of you are disturbed. The clan house is located between Fagat and Gears, where there are many small islands. https.//20287.mitemin.net/i305040/ 256 - - The Big Sisters, the Big Sisters, and the Big Sisters "It is inexplicable that we are all here drinking at this moment. "Ah, the Wooden Temple is still thinking in the most complicated ways. Val looks at Tascha with amusement as he looks at the filled cup and chuckles to himself. "Some of us don''t like to see each other one-on-one, but when we''re all together, it''s a lot more pleasant and peaceful than I thought it would be." Ruscha, are you calm?¡¡The first half of the word is guttural and harsh. Master, please. Thank you. Kulurkan offered me a finger bowl and a hand towel just as I finished my grilled crab. By the way, Ur-Lolo was unwrapping the crab for the gods, but I declined because I wanted to take it apart myself. At first everyone, including Val, was amused and started to scoop out the meat, but it seemed to have become too much trouble. Asha was trying to get Fal''s attention by pretending to be hot and flaring her front, and it made me feel uncomfortable. She may have great pectoral muscles, but her acting is very rad! "Why don''t you have some Krulkan, too?" The feast is still going on after dessert, and I, who can''t drink, am just eating. "Ugh ....... I am sorry, but I will eat and drink alone in my den. For some reason, he gave me a disgusted look. What was it?¡¡Do you have bad memories of the banquet?¡¡And you don''t think I have a certified den in my sleeve, do you? "Homura-sama. This foolish brother was so drunk at the banquet that he, of all people, crawled on my sister Ur-Lala in the night!" "Boo!" Stop with the incest!¡¡And don''t you dare bring in an adult designation when I''m not paying attention! "No, sir!¡¡I attacked him in his sleep!" I don''t know the difference! I don''t like it. "I got worked up, and I made a night attack!" The night attack. "You were very whip-cracking." "d*mn. ......" Krulkan is silenced in frustration. A sign of revenge. "The whip. ......" I can only picture Krulkan being trampled. The image of the sealed beast, the sealed beast is in trouble!¡¡What is it, can''t you beat your sister or your sister? The Kukulcan sisters were originally older sisters, but were made younger sisters in Japan via the English and Spanish languages, where the distinction between sisters is not considered important. So there are both in this world. Or, a sister and a brother who skipped bathing and performing ascetic rituals because they were drunk, but were made up to share a bedchamber in the end. The myth of Kukulkan is also difficult. "Homura-sama, my foolish brother is a good man in terms of ability, but he is such a loser. He can be defeated by a lesser man with his spirit, so I recommend that you use your equipment in battle. Ur-Lolo picks at her skirt and gives a clean bow, tinkering with Krulkan in the name of advice. ....... I originally used it with a cane, so there was no problem, but could he have seen a stronger Kulurkan if he had chosen to use it in the flesh and his level had been raised? No, I don''t think Krulkan can beat these sisters even if he gets stronger. "Ah." While I was thinking of this, Kulurkan turned into a snake and ran into a cuff, and Ullo Lolo shouted out. Isn''t he too lazy?¡¡You''re not crying, are you? Then he glances out of the cuff, stares at Ur-Lolo, and pulls back. "d*mn ......, you stupid brother!" Ur-Lolo glares at the cuff with a last-minute frustration. At any rate, I''m glad that I declared the no trespassing policy in front of Dru and got his approval. I''d like to stop Kulurkan from doing the same. ....... I don''t want to get involved in a quarrel between siblings, so I''ll just go through and continue with the crabs. The meat with a faint scent of firewood is also delicious!¡¡The food route is wonderful. "I still like meat. But the crab was good too, I wonder if people want to eat seafood too. The Goddess of Shame says as she secures the meat. She seems to have cooperated with us in the labyrinth with crustaceans, although she resists eating fish, which she misses. "Tasya seems to like fish better than meat, but don''t you think it''s not too much to ask?" Too much power is not good. The labyrinth is a mechanism to reduce them, but I''d rather have them eat if they''re just going to be beaten." What is the power of extremes?¡¡Is it something like a magical element? "Whenever we serve food, we''ll serve more than just fish." "Thank you." I promise to Falu, who will probably be more reluctant to eat it. "Homura, my lovely and wise sister has recognized you!¡¡Whatever choice you make along the path of gentle destruction, Verus, God of Light, affirms it!" No, wait! What''s that course of action? "The man my lovely, beautiful, intelligent sister approved ...... of!" Sithcon''s Karakame!¡¡I''m having a hard time with the difference between the real thing and the impression I got at the descent. Only Dulu can be separated from the real one because of the whole difference in appearance. I''m sorry... Don''t listen to it. Leave it." The younger sister Verna is bitter towards her brother. She is a little girl with black cat ears and a cat tail, long black hair, a black knee-length fluffy dress, and a black collar with a bell. "Don''t wear the collar, don''t wear the collar." I don''t care if it''s bondage fashion or something, but a collar on a one-piece girl is just too much. "Hmm. Val is cute." The contrast between the white skin and the black, especially around the throat, is fascinating even for a young girl. Ah, that was the stronger impression I had when I first met her, I thought. I mean, what was Val thinking in coordinating them! I look at the goddess in question and she is grinning, drinking, and looking at me. A definite amuser! "At least let it be this way." "Hmm." He picks out a black one from the ribbons he has been buying for Liddell, who has been collecting vials and ribbons. Somehow, as soon as Verna touches it, the ribbon disappears from her hand and the collar also disappears, replaced by a ribbon with a bell. "Mmm. Cute." And healthy. "Thank you." I offered her a second helping of pudding, and Verna thanked me. "It was a pleasure." "I talked to people I don''t usually talk to because we have a common topic of conversation, which is food." "The tree temple was just drinking, not talking. Val interjects into Tascha''s words. It''s nice to drink quietly while listening to people''s conversations, I would say, but I can''t drink, so it''s a trap. Dur, the god of the earth, seems to be good friends with Tasya and is sitting next to her. --The food was brought in by Ur Lolo in front of Dur, and was prepared on the way, so it was the best place to have a variety of food. "When will the next one be? I look forward to it. Val says nothing more than to Tascha and disappears. "I''m having trouble with that one too. ......" "Tasya, the tree god, the wind is like that. Homura, it has been a pleasure. Tasya is saddened, but Asha disappears. If only Fal hadn''t gotten involved, she would have behaved normally. "Well, it must be rare for all of us with different attributes to get together. Thank you, Homura. Tascha disappears with a sigh. Hard work and a little bit of shadow. ......,Good luck!¡¡God of magic! "The meat was delicious. So I''ll give you a special treat." Then he disappears. "Please make it spicy again!" Then Luscha disappears. I think he means green curry. It doesn''t fit with the image of him coming down with a giant hammer. "Homura, see you." "Yeah, again." Verna disappears, leaving behind the sound of a bell. "d*mn it, ......, we won''t lose, we won''t lose!" Verus also disappeared after Verna, declaring something against us. "Ah ......" The only one left is Dru. --And Ur-Lolo. What''s going on? "Can I send Rollo over there now and then?" "No, thank you." I answer immediately. "Why?¡¡I will be useful to you!" "Well, then, why don''t you let Krulkan come to you from time to time?" The curled-up Krulkan flinched, but I didn''t care. I want to avoid starting a sibling rivalry in my clothes. "Then I''ll switch places with my foolish brother and let you wrap your arms around me. "I''ll give you your lunch. Go home." Why are your words and actions so obscene when you pretend to be so well behaved, you white gnome! "Well, I''ll let you have something if you want to barge in." Don''t do that. Dru grabs the maid by the collar and disappears with her. From the looks of it, I have a feeling that Ur-Lolo is going to come barging in on us...but you don''t think she''s going to come with her whip-wielding sister, do you?¡¡I''m worried. I got the title [Destruction of Asha]. I have obtained the title "The Bloodline of Dru. I got the title [Ruscha''s Interest]. I have obtained the title of "Faru''s Fisheries. I have obtained the title "Tasya''s Balance. I have obtained the title "Scented Breeze of Val. I got the title "Verna''s Paradise". I have obtained the title "Judgement of Verus.

First of all, check After the feast, Bahamut flits about the garden, peeking here and there. I check the gifts in the suddenly quiet garden, feeling a sense of loneliness. Yes, there are so many things that I got that I feel sad. I''m not sure I can remember them all, but I can''t stop myself from checking them. I''d be lying if I said I wasn''t looking forward to it, and if I check from the menu, I won''t be disturbed by Krulkan, who is leaning over the cuff full of meat. It was me who left my plate until the last minute. I wonder if he wants to keep just the tip of his tail in his sleeve. First, the title. Destruction of Asha, which means destroying the enemy--the more you defeat them, the more powerful their attacks become. The condition is that the enemy must be defeated by physical attacks, but magic and other attacks can be used if they are fire-attribute. The effect is similar to that of the made by Luba, but this one is more powerful because the effect lasts as long as the user does not return to the city or fall asleep. Dru''s Veins] removes the limit on the number of pets you can summon. £¡£¡£¡£¡¡¡Fluffy heaven--the people in my place who are treated as pets are Bahamut, Riddell, Kuzunoha, and the White Tiger. ....... And the other half of them are half cavalry, Leno. Rusha''s interest is also in production. When you touch a product, you can find out what materials are needed. It just depends on your production skills and the level of your [Appraisal]. If you can get a skill stone, you should actively go for it. If you can get a skill stone, you should be proactive about getting it. Faru''s Fisheries] A bonus for production, and can be used without regard to rank if it is a material from the blessing of water, the fisheries version of [Duru no Daichi]. In fact, the title effect of [Ruscha''s Preparation] enables him to handle almost anything, but his evaluation is limited to his specialties. There are many cooking methods and ingredients that I''m good at, so if you take the time to do something, I''m sure you''ll be able to handle it. ...... I am very happy that I can now aim for a rating of 10 for seafood. In fact, both of them are adapted to other productions, but in my case, they are reflected only in cooking. Because I have a sub-profession for pharmacy, and I haven''t discovered any recipes for either pharmacy or alchemy!¡¡-- Let''s be a little serious and look for quests around town. Tasya''s Balance] Tasya''s Balance determines right and wrong, but only for the gods and outside the realm of human reason. The effect is that the more the enemy uses a skill, the more the effect of my skill increases, which is a very ...... useful effect. Val''s Scented Breeze] makes you feel refreshed. It can actually create a gentle breeze, improve the environment of caves and toxic gases, and heal or alleviate environmental anomalies. As usual, the closer you are to me, the more effective it is, making it ideal for napping. Verna''s Paradise Pudding?¡¡It can heal spirits that cannot be healed by medicine or magic, especially those that cannot be healed by medicine or magic. I, the mark of the spirit''s escape shines brilliantly on the menu. ....... I wonder how that wind spirit is doing?¡¡I''ll drop by the courtyard of the Temple of Fast next time. Verus'' Judgment] When you believe you are righteous, or when you are angry or resentful, it enhances your offensive skills. It is like Verus, when he believes in righteousness, not justice. Well, justice for you is often evil for your opponent, and you are more merciless and cruel when you believe that you are right. It is a title you do not want to invoke too often. Then the skills. Asha''s Iron Arm] triples the strength of the arm, including the value of the equipment, and the duration of the effect depends on the level. It is a skill that I would like to use on top of other powerful skills, but the effect is so long that it runs out in the middle of the motion of [Sword of Absolution] now. You should keep on improving your level. The "family" is not a vampire when it sucks blood. The "family" can be a pet, a summoned beast, or a demon in your dungeon. The "family" is strengthened by 2% of the player''s status, and even if it is disabled, it will revive in the or . The number of spies that can be turned into spies is one tenth of their level, but the number will increase as they turn spies of the same race into their own spies. The first bonus is plus 1, and you start with two. Duru''s Gentle Cocoon Ball] Wrap yourself in a cocoon ball to defend and heal.E! When the cocoon ball is attacked by a dependent cocoon ball, the E! The user''s E! It is released when the user''s E! It can be applied to a large number of people, but if there are too many targets, it will be released soon. The restoration of H!? is recovered every 30 seconds while the cocoon ball is in existence. The first time bonus is every 25 seconds. Grant Replacement] is a production skill. You need a magic stone corresponding to the rank of the weapon or armor you want to replace, but you can replace only one grant with it. If you fail, you lose both the item and the magic stone, but it is a great effect. However, the only items that can be replaced are those that you made yourself, so in my case, they are accessories. ...... I guess that means you should take this seriously too. The success rate is a little bit higher for the first bonus. The first one has a slightly higher success rate. The only problem is that M! Dependent, the ball is not damaged, but it is broken only by an attack. It might be more effective if it had the name of "Phal". The first bonus is the same. Magic Absorption] absorbs received magic and heals H! and M! and damage reduction. The amount of absorption is proportional to the amount of damage reduction, and the amount of damage reduction is the difference between the user''s and his/her own magic level and INT, in addition to what is prevented by the user''s title, skill equipment, etc. The first benefit is a slightly higher amount of absorption. It is better to think that magic you don''t know will damage you, or that you have taken too much magic and your level is too low to take damage. No, fire and wind are not so bad, thanks to the title. Utsurokoro] distracts your opponent''s mind and prevents him from concentrating, and randomly changes the skill you try to use to something else. The first bonus is said to be useful when you don''t want to be noticed, as it distracts your presence when you use it outside of battle. Night Book] brings night, as its name suggests. Feng Shui] changes the terrain environment, but this one changes day and night. Of course, it does not change the day and night of the world, but it creates a space that is more advantageous to those who are strengthened and their skills during the night time. Also, we can find ores that can only be searched for at night, and flowers that can only bloom at night. -- can damage an enemy and increase the enemy''s STR and E! and becomes stronger. Of course, the enemy who is eaten is weakened by the amount of STR and E! The initial performance of this sword is lower than Asha''s and Verus'' greatswords, but it is said that it always wounds the enemy if you hit it, so it means that you should improve your own sword skills? It is a kind of longsword that can be used with one or both hands, like the one Eagle uses. It is not flashy, but it is a beauty to behold, as one would expect. ...... You need to find the skill of [long sword equipment] first, otherwise you can''t handle it professionally. <. ....... ...... can we go through this? I heard that he and Faru are a pair.¡¡And Asha has one. This one is a man''s item and I wonder if that means he and Asha are rather matching. ....... ....... I don''t want to know about the pants situation of the gods: £¡£¡£¡£¡£¡£¡£¡£¡£¡£¡£¡ It is super high performance with [non-transferable] as a matter of course, but it will be sealed. I saw nothing!¡¡Now let''s go next! ,This is a tree seedling. The wood is dense and extremely hard. The specific gravity is so high that it sinks when placed in water. That''s it, maybe this is the material for binchotan. ....... Either Tasya liked the meat cooked over charcoal or someone liked it and made him serve it. <<. A band that increases speed and deflects physical projectiles such as arrows and throwing knives. The latter effect is a bonus, since the most common way of skill is to send skills together. <>This is a book that allows pets to live on its pages--or rather, to connect the pages with their places of residence. It is a thin book of ten pages, but you can summon and replace them at will. Now you don''t have to worry about which trinkets to take with you!¡¡It is very useful together with [Veins of Dur]. But Bahamut has a healing effect, and I don''t want to move it from - I mean, if I remove it, I''ll get popped by Bahamut''s tail or something, and end up in the temple. The outside is a dark-colored cover with a single moon, and the inside is a blank sheet of paper so far. Why is there only one moon?¡¡There are two moons in this world. < can add a set ability to the opened page when summoning a spirit or a summoned beast. The way to set the ability seems to be that you have to charge the skill or attribute stones each time you use them. < are made of a material that is not clear whether it is paper or leather, and each page has a beautiful picture of the starry sky on it. The color of gold is used in abundance, as is typical of Verus, and it looks very beautiful with the deep blue of the sky and the green of the trees. When I tried to use a fire-attribute stone strengthened by alchemy, the still stars on the open page blinked and the picture started to move, changing to a scene suitable for the fire attribute. It is interesting to close the page and return to the first picture, and open it again to see the scene change. I have finished checking all the pictures, but where am I headed? Cloak evaluation result [I have a feeling that the direction will not change even if there are more cloaks now. Hand armor appraisal results [......mm] I tried to look a little far away and the cloak poked me in the eye. 258 - - US>256. Before Events "Well, who wants to do something?" When everyone has gathered at the clan house, Ochazuke asks. In the room, there are three couches, which Ochazuke or Kikuhime has added for Arum and Sizzle. That is still enough, but Shin has brought in a Cassina-style chair apparently made of Yagyakul leather, and I have brought in a Chesterfield-style wingback chair of my own to fit in. Some games have tie-ups with companies to distribute and sell items, but not this game. Singh''s was made by a player, mine by a resident. "I''ll go around to the events just in case, right?" Suggested by Kikuhime. The reason why the atmosphere was still relaxed even though the event had already started was because the content of the event was to defeat the bosses of the second group of diahs. We had already gone around the circle ahead of time. "Wa-ha-ha-ha!¡¡Let''s go, let''s go!" It''s a good thing Leo is always so positive and upfront and happy. "What the hell was all that trouble we went through ......?" Arum is giving me the stink-eye, but I don''t care. "Next week is the big day, the big day!¡¡Two more levels to learn new ones!¡¡I''m trying to improve my skills, man!" This time, Leo had a good reason to be proactive. "I think they want to get the second group into the clan before the big game next week," he said. During this event, there is more experience for both level and skill in Gears, especially for bosses, so let''s go! "Woohoo!¡¡Let''s go!" Peter''s words cause Shin to get up from his chair. "It''s crowded, sir." It was quite a shock to me, since I had recently been to a place where no one comes solo. Players were gathering at the point where Yagyakul, the boss of Sekan, appeared. "As you''d expect, when it''s this crowded, there''s a bit of a wait for the boss to appear. "Hmmm. Maybe the white cloak is still popular, so it''s more crowded than others. You can''t fight again right away after clearing the area, but there seem to be a lot of people who stay because it''s a hassle to move on to other bosses. Peter and Ochazuke argue. "Oh, if you look closely, you can see that some of them have started production. "I guess the serious ones are the second group of people like us who haven''t cleared the area yet." Sizzle and Arum, still wearing their chaps, look around and say. "At this rate, I''m sure Faina will be even more impressive. "Right?" Kikuhime agrees with me. is a material for <>, and many clans are trying to acquire houses as a base for large scale battles. Some of the clans that have already acquired the house want it for the rooms of their clan members who will be added in the second round. It is a good thing that we have prepared a room for two members, Arum and Sisel, before the announcement of the big battle. "The price of materials and furniture for the house is going up!¡¡Wa-ha-ha-ha." "It got crowded there, too. I was able to sell off some of the boss materials, so I guess it''s okay. A while ago, Ochazuke had taken Leo fishing for the house material, too, so it seems that Leo''s pockets are warm. And it seems that Ochazuke sold off the boss drops of Gears before they were sold in large quantities in this event and their prices went down. I''m thinking of selling some house boards and other materials to raise my level of [carpentry]. "Oops! Then Shin, Kikuhime, Sizzle, and Ochazuke disappear, too. I, Peter, Leo, and Arum entered the boss battle without a pause. Long time no see, big goat, Yagyakul. "For now, [fire] <". Healers are tagged, but enchantments are applied first because they do not increase the enemy''s hate. Some enemies may hit you with a blow if you apply an enchantment, so it is not absolutely certain, but bosses in Gears are safe except for Phos'' Dade Lizard. Since there is no Kikuhime, who is a shield, I put together a two-person team of secret agents who focus on speed. I would like to put an enchantment to increase defense, but I haven''t learned it yet. I''m going to summon Kuroyoh in the latter half of the game, and I''m sure Peter will stop me, but I''m more likely to attack after Yagyakul''s HP is lowered. --I think Peter will stop him, but the whole attack is more likely to happen after Yagyakul''s HP is reduced. "[Darkness] <" "Wahahaha!¡¡I''ve been waiting for you!¡¡[surprise attack]!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" I was a little worried about whether I could recover without being tagged, but I shadowed him, and without thinking, Leo activated his skill on Yagyakul. "A noisy surprise attack, indeed. "I thought I was supposed to be a ninja with that thing." I give Arum information he doesn''t need. "It''s going to be like a ninja character played by a gaijin. Well, I''m going to use it to attack the boss, Leo. Peter is still supposed to be a secret agent, but with his hood over his head, he has the perfect ninja look. Only his asagi-colored hair, eyes, and skin stand out, but on the grassy plain, his black outfit is rather conspicuous. I wondered for a moment why Peter, who usually runs with Leo to get behind the enemy, was standing next to him, but I was convinced when I saw Leo in position and the boss turned his back to us. "Leo''s attack power is actually quite high, so I think Arum can do his best even without Kikuhime. Just be careful about the whole thing." Peter smiles and gives Arum some simple advice. "Fugao £¡£¡£¡£¡" "Oh, yeah?" Arum responds to the advice, but in between, Leo''s screams echo through the room, making Arum upset. Unlike Ochazuke and the others, Arum and Sizzle are still new to the scene and are reacting in a rather primitive manner. Arum, who seems to have regained his composure, throws an axe. He takes out a hatchet from his belongings, spins it around, and throws it one after another with his left and right hands alternately, which is quite cool. Then, he opens his front wide and looks like he''s about to drop out of his orange pupa. "That''s throwing money, isn''t it?" "It''s made in production and sold only to N!C. We have to contribute a little." Peter''s words are answered by Arum, who is quite concerned about being useless in battle. Throwing a projectile is, of course, a skill, but the more expensive the item is, the more damage it does. "Why don''t you just zip it up in the middle of a battle?" "What''s the point of having a tuna!" What is the significance of the tuna according to Arum: ....... "Well, me too." With that, Peter vanished, appearing from under Yagyakul''s belly and slashing his legs, leaving Yagyakul to sink back into the shadows, floundering from the unexpected damage. Then the attack of the angry enemy goes to Leo. "[Tree] <." The ivy entangles and restrains Yagyakul, blocking his attack. Although my status is lowered by the cloak, my VIT is the highest in the party, but it is hard for the attacker to fight when the enemy changes direction, so let''s leave it to Leo, shall we? This time, I''m trying to improve my skills as well as practicing my weak skills. I''m practicing how to keep my allies'' HP without shifting the enemy''s attention to me, so I''ll let you give up on that. When the amount of recovery is more than the decreased HP, the hostility rises sharply, so I throw a potion to recover Leo--a little difficult to aim. "Hmm?" Arum makes a suspicious sound as he moves to a position where he can easily aim at Leo and hits him with the potion. "Hmm?" "No, I thought you were going to move. I thought you couldn''t move when you had the staff." "No?" "Uh?¡¡Sorry, Lengarda ...... was a wizard and a fixed gunner for the white, and a god-speed swordsman for the black, but not for the Homura. Is he a grantor?" "No?" Is it information about the arena?¡¡The only reason I didn''t move was because I was slacking off. Why my job is different from Lengard is a mystery to me. I''ve changed jobs, so it''s not the same as it was in the arena. "Arum is confused." Peter returns, his voice tinged with laughter. You can see the "W" at the end of his voice. "When you use enchantments and move at a decent speed, you usually think of a grantor. And I''m a swordsman by way of a mage first." With these words, Peter disappears again to strike a blow at Yagyakul. Peter is using a combination of skills, but he wants to measure the lag when they are combined. "No," he says. I know it''s the same person, but I''m not convinced." Arum throws an axe, shaking his head lightly. "Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa." "Why not?" I think it''s pretty much exactly the same. The recast time of the potion hasn''t come yet, so I wait for Leo, who is screaming strangely, to take another hit and apply . If you hit the attack spells too many times in a hurry, the damage will be small, but if you hit the recovery spells too many times, the party will collapse if the recovery spells die because you are tagged. Well, if an attack comes, you can just avoid it or hit back. "If you look at it calmly, Homura is beautiful and cool, too, right?¡¡But hey ......" Arum looks away and sighs. But what the hell! "Because it''s Homura." Peter comes back and disappears again, leaving only a few words. "Well, when you''re white, please speak as little as possible, and when you''re black, please be silent!" With that, Arum quickens the pace of his axe-throwing. Why is it that more than one person tells me not to talk! The party swapped parties and finished when Leo got sleepy, and returned to the clan house. "We''ve come a long way, haven''t we? I''ve got to level up, too. "I think it''s easier to get boss materials now because they''re cheaper.¡¡Good luck!" Arum, who works in production, can only increase his character level through production. Ochazuke is right that it should be easier to raise character level now that there are many high-ranked boss materials available. "Yes, I will raise my level a little from now on. "I''ll do my best, too." Sizzle returns earnestly, and Arum looks languid. "I''ll buy the materials you use for sewing. I''ll buy some magic stones too. I''ll buy the magic stones too. And you can use the ones in the clan warehouse as you like. Together with Kikuhime, he buys materials from Arum and Sizzle at a slightly more attractive price. And from Leo and Shin. I''m not the only one who has a lot of unwanted materials in the clan warehouse, and Ochazuke also has a lot in there, which is good for two people who are just starting out. If I''m not careful, the warehouse will be full of Leo''s fish, so I often take a peek at the warehouse to take them back and fill it with something else. "Hey, what about the next event?¡¡Do you want to be proactive?" Shin says over a beer. But the snack is a cheese munchie cutlet. "Oh, my goodness!" Leo is steadily getting burned by the bite. "We''re small, so maybe we should fight with someone or stay in the labyrinth.¡¡Fortunately, Clan House chose the island, so I don''t think they can attack us aggressively. Now we just have to see what happens to the country." "Oh. I have the skills I want, so I''ll work on my business. Peter laughs and tells of his disturbing plans in response to Ochazuke''s opinion. He says it briskly, but everyone knows that Peter is talking about assassination, and Peter knows that. I wonder if Homura will be targeted by skill players.¡¡Say a raid on a grocery store." "Yeah, yeah, yeah!" Shinn says disturbing things! "Yeah, there''s a guy here who''s going to assassinate you, too. Arum glances at Peter as he sips his Bloody Mary. "He certainly seems to have a lot of the skills we want, and he seems to have a lot of openings." Peter looks at me with a smile. I''m scared! Peter: No. W., you have the ring. W., you can''t attack me. I was really scared and then the dialogue came. Come to think of it, it was something like a master-slave relationship. "I''m scared of a grocery store attack, let''s figure something out. ......" With Lapidus and Noel, we have a good escape route against the Empire, but there is always a chance. I have a disturbing feeling that Homura''s countermeasures are not the best. "Wa-ha-ha-ha!" Since it is said that large scale battles are not remembered by the residents, we cannot discuss this with Kal and the others right now. They say that at the beginning of the event, there will be a three-day grace period in game time before the battle begins, so that''s the place to ask for advice. Equipment will be returned after the event is over even if it is broken or captured during the event, but consumables will not be returned. For the time being, we will prepare the consumables that we may need, and keep our recharging skills at full strength just in case. 259 - - 257. Countermeasures "Lord, give me my life for yours." I went to the grocery store and Cal kneeled down on his knees. He is wearing a white collar with a wrinkled look, which I think is fine sometimes, but he still wears a seamless outfit. He often wears a gentle and somewhat ambiguous smile, but he never looks weak, and this may be the reason why he has an atmosphere that should not be underestimated. But is that black in his left hand?¡¡It''s shaking. And this is a hallway. And Lapidus, my Lord! Me too. The hold came from both sides of the two little ones, even as Cal was kneeling. No use trying to look good in the grocery store (here), handsome knight. With that in mind, I stroke the fluffy touch of Lapis'' hair and Noel''s moist and silky hair and ears. The touch has become unimaginably good since we first met. Lapis'' cheeks are soft and fluffy, and Noel''s face is smooth for a child, but both of them look healthy. I checked the items given to me as I stroked them and found that they were event items. The core of the inhabitants who have high sensitivity or who can be obtained through negotiation. If you are killed in battle while holding a core, the core is transferred to your opponent, and the number of cores you have at the end of the event is the number of points you receive. Even if you do not have any other cores, you can get points as a reward for protecting a resident. Players can also deposit their cores. A player deposits a core to a player, who in turn deposits it to another player ......, and usually the clan leader has the final core. Leaders can form alliances by exchanging cores with each other. As this is a large scale battle, it is easier to get points by forming a large alliance. Even if you leave your cores to someone else after depositing them, you will receive points for the amount of cores deposited. However, if the person who has the core is not defeated in the end, it is ....... Therefore, we should deposit cores to those who seem to have a high survival rate. When the core is received, Kal will stand up and store the black in his pocket as usual. When he gets into his pocket and changes his position, Black sticks his head out of his collar and shakes his head at Cal. Black is not happy, but thanks to him, I am not bitten, and I am a little sorry that I am making Cal look bad. "I''m sorry, thank you." I stroke the black throat and thank Cal. "Oh, you''re here. My life is in your hands. Galahad moves to the living room on the third floor of the liquor store. "Homura, take it." Camilla twines her arms around me and kisses me on the cheek. "I know I''ll be safe with you." Eagle hands it to me with a small smile. It was the first day of a 24-day event in game time, the first of three days of preparation. This server is not ...... at the legal speed limit, but at the legal limit of the perceived difference between the real world and the flow of time. I chose to participate in the big battle when I logged in, but it feels strange because only the residents react differently than usual, while the scenery and life remain the same. All the inhabitants know what the event is. It seems that they are not aware of it as a game event, but rather as a period of time when all the creatures become belligerent and a war of desire and confusion occurs, perhaps due to the magical elements. "Well, the general store might be attacked, so I''d like to take measures." "Yes." Everyone gathered in the living room and began discussing how to respond. We had prepared refreshments, but other than tea, nothing was touched, and everyone looked serious. Lapidus and Noel are also present, but rather than feeling relieved that they don''t look frightened, I''m worried that they''ve been through quite a rough patch before coming to the general store (here). What is your countermeasure or direction?¡¡It is a chance to obtain powerful skills, skills that should not be manifested to you, but in the Lord''s case, there is a high possibility of being targeted. We have already received several requests for cooperation, so if you wish for a reward or a connection, you can choose one of them." What Cal seems to be asking is whether to go on the offensive or the defensive. And from where - a neighborhood store, perhaps?¡¡They say they have a request for cooperation. When we all get together, Cal usually asks my opinion, Galahad offers a counter-proposal, Eagle and Camilla add to the discussion, and Reno steps back and asks questions. This is also the case this time. "For now, Lapidus and Noel are in danger, so I''m going to have them evacuate to my house, and I and Kuzunoha are going to serve the guests at full throttle. ...... So, I''m going to talk about a way that I''ve been thinking about for a while now, and it''s going to be easy. "Lord ......" "Homura ......" Kal and Galahad look at me like I''ve swallowed a stick. "How could they come to that conclusion?" "Really." And Camilla and Eagle, stop sighing and looking like you have a headache! "Homura, that''s the most disturbing way. It may not look like a conflict, but it''s not good for a lot of things, okay?¡¡I can''t tell you where, but no." "Lord, as a knight, I would appreciate it if you let me fight fair and normal. The same is true for the knights who may be my enemies. As Galahad reminds me, Kal seems to have regained his composure. Funny ...... how I don''t seem to be playing fair. I''ve discarded my choice to hide out in Fuso or on an island, but would it have been a bad idea to stay out in the open? "I wonder what direction Homura is going?" "It looks worse than an empire corrupted by a fox. ...... It''s also worse when you can''t say exactly where it gets worse. ......" What Eagle and Camilla are talking about is also terrible. But it is certainly not bad when you think of widespread brainwashing, I reflect. "Well. Well, let''s make sure everyone is safe and hopefully the general store (here) won''t be destroyed. The rest of you are free to go?" Apparently it is true that they are getting belligerent, and somehow I can see that they want to fight. If this is the case for the non-Knight residents, they can participate in the event without feeling guilty. "May I accept your request for cooperation? "As long as it''s not too much trouble." I answer Cal''s several confirmations. "Homura, would you please go see Mr. Partin if you can? After a pause, Reno says, "I''m sorry, but I''m not sure I''m going to be able to do that. "Yes, that''s fine. What''s wrong?" "I have heard that if the core is entrusted to someone, it can be resurrected like the Gentiles, although there will be a pause, as long as the one who entrusted it does not die. Lord Parthin is also powerful but an easy target. The proud Master Pertin has never been willing to entrust his core to a stranger, but he is willing to entrust it to you." It was explained that during the event, residents who can be used as units will be resurrected like players. However, they will not be able to fly to the temple immediately, but will have one day to return to the temple. Both players and residents will be resurrected not at the temple, but at the place where they have set as their base. If the temple is hostile to the player, it is not a bad idea to resurrect the player there, so it seems reasonable. I have my own , and the kalu who took care of my core will also be resurrected in my . I don''t feel comfortable with the description of inhabitants as units, as if it were a simulation game, but a large-scale battle may actually be an event to enjoy strategy. In many ways I can''t do it. "Understood. I don''t know how Paltin will react, but let''s just meet. "Please." By the way, Reno has entrusted the core to Paltin. When he receives the core from Paltin, he automatically receives Leno''s share as well. "Lord, I would like to keep the cores of my acquaintance, too. "Yeah, if the goal is to revive them, why not?¡¡If there''s a burden on Cal, like preventing raids, I''ll have to think about it." "Yes, sir. Lord, just to be sure, are you planning to attack any particular group from our side?" "No, but if it''s necessary for our safety, we''ll go for it." It''s a chance to get skills, but what''s the use of adding more skills if you can''t even learn the ones you have? If I may say so, I would like to have a [Shijin]. It makes even Leo look cool when he gets it right, and stopping enemy skills is great for the safety of the party. But I''m the rear guard in the party, so I feel it''s pointless. "I left it alone because I said I wasn''t good at it, but I really should have learned how to strategize." Finally. But this time I won''t make it." No, wait. Why are we talking about subterfuge, informing, and scheming with the enemy? "My Lord, I have a map of the area. Fortunately, there are branches of the Commercial Guild and the Temple in the area. We do not know the movements of the Gentiles in the temple, but I am sure that High Priest Kyle will give us his full cooperation. The same goes for the commercial guilds. I will talk to the lords, but there is a possibility that the lord''s mansion will be attacked. If they lend us troops, they will only be a hindrance to us, and it would be sufficient if they only recognize us as a means of gathering information and as their allies." The map Cal unfolded was as detailed as a house map. I see that you already know your neighbors and the gentiles. "The commercial guilds are in contact through the employees of the liquor store, but it seems that some of the less-than-honorable nobles are taking advantage of this opportunity to get the recipe for the production of alcohol. --It seems that some of them are mistakenly thinking that it is easy to attack a small store for the sales." "How often do fools spring up here?" Galahad grins. "The assassins'' and thieves'' guilds are not organized and do not seem to be actively looking after the gentile cores. Aside from the others, the recently emerged assassins called <> are dangerous to antagonize." Black Assassin: ....... The name from Cal brings to mind a freshly smiling Peter, though the word that comes with it is assassination. "He''s a Gentile, rumored to be the guy who killed the slum boss." "And an aristocrat with a taste for infants. He''s good. If he is a Gentile, he''s been here a short time and then some. "At first I had no idea who assassinated him, but recently I''ve been hearing rumors from the gentiles. There must be some jobs that don''t get mentioned." Galahad and others are coming forward with information. Unlike me, they seem to be diligent in their work. "I don''t have to worry about this assassin, because I know him, but there might be others. It''s a problem when you don''t know when they''re coming. I''ve made some warding charms and I''ll put them on the counter." When a key is installed, only those who have been given the key can enter the house and the store, and only the display area is free during the store''s opening hours. It is a rather unpleasant system that allows people to break the locks and steal the stores, but during the event, they are likely to do so aggressively. I have set the most expensive key, but be careful. --By the way, if you are blacklisted, you cannot enter the free space either, but you can enter by breaking the lock, I heard. It seems strange to break a lock that is open during the opening hours. The penalty for being turned in by the guards is severe. "Lord ....... May I ask you once about your friendships?" As I was thinking about security measures, everyone was looking at me with a dumbfounded look on their faces. I didn''t do anything!¡¡Tell Peter, tell Peter! 260 - - Home Visit I am currently giving out <. If you use several of them at once, the area of protection will be wider. If you use several of them at once, the number of sheets will increase the size of the protective field. The ones like the one made in Isle, which has a magic circle encased in a jewel, are more powerful and keep their basic effect, but since the materials are expensive and in this case we assume that they will be destroyed, we may as well use the symbols. If it is about to be broken, we are supposed to put a new charm on it. In addition to <>, I also mixed to double your skill. I left them with Lapidus and Noel to put on the counter of the general store, and I also delivered them to the clerk of the liquor store, and he said that he would like them to be sold to the commercial guilds. I''m still losing materials and sills, even though I earn points during this event. ....... I''m not sure if it''s a good idea not to give them to the residents considering that they are security goods, so I''ll go around to my friends and ask them if they can afford them. I thought I would leave it with the head of the guild of the commercial guild, but Bake, Roll, and Short also gave me the core. With the masks on, we are transferred to the temple and meet High Priest Kyle. No, I wasn''t going to meet your eminence or Ekaterina by handing over the cores to some priest, but the priest who gave me the cores stopped me and captured me. "Hello, it''s been a long time. How are Lapidus and Noel doing? "Yes, we''re both fine. You''re doing great." I''m almost entirely responsible for customer service in the general store. Before we took them in, we used to run into them when we used the temple, but since we took them in, we rarely run into them anymore. Well, it may be because Ekaterina has stopped ambushing them. Basically, she is only interested in children, and she is often found at the orphanage. It''s been a long time. Here you are for the time being. His Eminence, expressionless as ever, gestures for me to hand something to him. His Eminence Kyle has a blank expression, a flat voice, and a cold appearance with glasses, but he is also mischievous or outlandish. "What?" Since the hand is empty, it must have come directly from the item pouch. I have received the core of one person. I have accepted the accompanying one hundred and thirty-one cores. "Huh?" What is it? "Now we can all be resurrected in peace. We are tired of performing the rituals to revive them, and <> is expensive. Ha-ha-ha-ha. "Oh dear, oh dear, you''re as skeptical as ever, aren''t you? I can see Lancelot''s disappointment. ......" Next to His Eminence Kyle, who is smiling with an expressionless barbed laugh, Ekaterina''s face changes from a benevolent smile to a smirk. "Is there anything more interesting than the joys and sorrows of the perfect person?" "Oh, dear, oh, dear, oh, dear. I didn''t say that much. Ho-ho-ho. You guys have great personalities!¡¡The perfect superhero was making some kind of plan with a strawberry eclair in his hand. Is this the number of cores entrusted to High Priest Kyle flowing to me? "No, wait! That doesn''t make sense. Why me? "It''s the safest place I know in the country. And the head of the Adventurers'' Guild doesn''t really fit in. "If possible, I don''t want you to go out under the protection of the knight, but it seems that even if you go out, it will still be a safe zone, doesn''t it? I''m also concerned about the subtle assumption that we''re going to die, and I''d like to nitpick a lot of things. "Now my business is done. There are some who are planning to do something insolent, but we priests have no intention of leaving the temple. --We have people who can fight, so don''t worry. "The orphans are included, so they mustn''t die. Hmmm." Apparently they are both busy discussing countermeasures. Well, I guess it''s normal for them to be busy even in normal times. "Oh, the temple is always looking for new cooks." "Well, we may have to siege the place." He left the temple, leaving the food and the ingredients he no longer used because he had obtained a high rank after being poisoned. Leo and Shin are in the same lineage and different ranks are usually shoved into the warehouse of the house, especially fish are plentiful. It must smell fishy, but go for it! Well, let''s go to the used bookstore, stop by the apothecary guild, and since Ruba isn''t home, let''s go to Julius'' workshop. No, the other way around. The secondhand bookstore is not open yet at this hour. <, or rather to distract the others and change my equipment. I''m afraid that my skill won''t work, so I make sure no one is around and hide. When you take a horse-drawn carriage to the artisan district, it seems to be very lively. It''s time to make some money before we get to the boy''s workshop!¡¡The residents seem to be more resilient than I thought. This event will take place all over the inhabited continent of Sauroisel. I heard that wars between countries are possible, and lords are gathering weapons. "Ah, Homura-sama!" "There''s a lot of noise in the world, so I came to see what''s going on." Julius''s workshop is not noisy, but it looks busy. A beautiful boy, thin as ever, looks at me and smiles happily. I am surrounded by no honestly beautiful people, so when I see him, I feel relaxed and at ease, and I can feast my eyes on him. Lapis and Noel come sniffing as soon as they see me. "Thank you very much. The artisan district is relatively close to the area where the knights live, so it''s calmer than the other districts. I''m a little nervous about it. ....... In case of emergency, we are supposed to flee to the knight district and take shelter in the lord''s house while closing the door of the road." "I see." "Hey, this is ......." We have received one core. "Everyone else is leaving it with the knight, but I wanted to leave it with Homura-san." He shyly left his core with me!¡¡I had suspected that High Priest Kyle had given it to him, but apparently it is true that if you are well-liked, he will give it to you. "Please use it as a talisman to keep Homura-san from dying." "Thank you. Julius'' core will be transferred too, so I''ll try not to die." He also gave the boy Julius a and parted ways with him. The road running in front of the store is narrow, but there are many back streets where customers don''t walk. If the core of a resident is transferred to someone else, the owner of the core will not be restored during the event. Next is the apothecary''s guild, which I have not visited much, but I have been to the guild for a while to learn the basics and to see if there are any problems. The apothecary guild we visited is in the process of setting up a temporary workshop in the lord''s house, so we give them a sign and leave. In most guilds, guild members leave their cores to the guildmasters, and guilds of production without combat capability leave their cores to the lords or the adventurers'' guilds. Here in Fast, the guild master of the Adventurers'' Guild is a high ranking adventurer who rarely shows his face to the guild members, so those who leave their cores with the guild master are supposed to leave their cores with the resident sub-master. In any case, the house or store of the person to whom the core is entrusted is the owner or belongs to the person who resurrects from a combat loss. In addition to the strength, the person who has a large house or castle must be in trouble. --I wonder where the cores entrusted through Cal will be restored. I''d hate to see them all stuck in Cal''s room. ....... I still think we should add a liquor store for one floor and do something about the size of the rooms and bathrooms. There are a few players in the apothecary guild, buying medicines and making promises to escort them. I felt a little relieved. I walk down the alley, thinking that everywhere seems to be busy. I thought that the used bookstores would be open by now, and since the books they sell are not used in battle, they might have been evacuated with the books to some other place, but they were normally open. I entered the store, which I could not tell from the outside, and greeted the owner, who seemed to pay no attention to what was going on outside. He greeted me back with a pouty face while filling his pipe with the kind of tobacco that can be used to repel insects from the books. "Cadiz, Cadiz are you still here at this time of the year?" "Yes. It doesn''t matter where I go." Cadiz probably didn''t mean it in an eventful way, but I hate to see someone I know die, even if things will be back to normal after the event. "Well, I don''t want to die either. Let''s take it." One core has been received. Apparently, they got along better than expected. We spent much more time in the store reading books than talking to each other. I''m kind of glad. I sell a few of my newly acquired books at Fagat to Cadiz, who in turn sells a few to me. I leave the used bookstore with a few new items, including some preserved food, <, and a , since this is where I got the lightning magic. Next, I have to go to a restaurant and a wholesale store on the isle. I would like to meet Christina if possible, but I guess that''s not possible. I''ve taken care of the accompanying core for 673 people. Hey. What''s going on? I checked the menu in a hurry, and it says it''s for Cal. Who gave you those cores?¡¡Are you trying to build an army?¡¡If there are more at once, does that mean that someone else is collecting cores and he gave them to you?¡¡When you touch the name, a tree opens to show the name of the person who gave it to you. Firar-Astark Who are you? Occupation: Lord Buhaha: £¡£¡£¡£¡ Cal £¡£¡£¡£¡£¡£¡£¡ What are you doing £¡£¡£¡£¡£¡£¡£¡ And while I''m watching, there are more announcements and more £¡£¡£¡£¡£¡£¡ 261 - - 259. Restaurant Rules Hello. I am Homura, who has fled to the isle after cutting off the core-related announcements. It was terrible when I was thrown a patka in a trap dungeon - I blocked the patka, but now I''m free again. The events have made the situation unstable and I''d like to get to know the residents better if possible. "You''ve been busy as usual." Wagons come and go at the loading dock of old man Org, a skinny old man who keeps the rough crowd in line at the site. Various foodstuffs are brought in and out. Olives and oranges from the warm Fagat, and foodstuffs of demonic origin from the labyrinthine city of Baron. Many of them are still in jute bags or barrels, but the contents are visible around Mr. Org, perhaps because he inspects them. It''s quite fun to see so many ingredients that you don''t find in supermarkets, and it looks like a European market because they are not in packs. Well, it is a fantasy game world to begin with. "Oh!¡¡You came. War will break out in a few days, my trading company has been sacked by the Empire. They said they were going to seize it. --They''re not even hiding it anymore. A welcoming smile, followed by a brief explanation of the current situation here, and finally, a dismissive tone. Is this a large-scale war that includes battles between countries? I''m not sure if I''d be comfortable if it were a limited-time event, although I''m not sure what the countries'' agendas are and how troublesome they are. "Are you sure you can handle it? "It''s painful that the prime minister of Sadiras, which is on our side, is laid up, but the empire was not monolithic either. I don''t think he''ll make it to the capital. Is that the country Galahad was talking about, the country where he was sleeping? He looks bitter even though he predicts that he won''t be able to reach it. Does that mean that the capital won''t be reached, but other cities will be caught in the fire of war? Was the name of the city near the empire Albar or Valnor?¡¡There should be a clan house for the player. Our clan house in Fagat is also vulnerable to pirate attacks, as most of the lands that the government grants us permission to use are those facing the enemy. The country can save its own people from being killed in the event of an enemy attack, and it is treated as a quest for the players while it is a necessity for the inhabitants. Immediately after the clan house was released, there were only a few clans that prioritized the store or did not have enough funds for it, but now there are quite a few. The most popular are FAST and BARON, which can be used together with a store due to their location. Fast is also popular among players who do not want to fight as much as possible, since it is said that quests related to residents tend to occur in Fast, but most of the time they do not involve fighting. The only inhabitant-related quest I''ve done is collecting lumber, but that''s only because I''ve never been at the counter of the general store. It seems that Fagat''s clan house was destroyed by other clans before the pirates arrived. There is a clan of fishermen on the front line island, strong sea men! "If you want to make a splash, stay away from them. You''d better move on, because in two days they''ll put restrictions on transfers. We''ve been increasing our purchases from far away for a few days now. After the negotiation period is over, the temple transfer will be disabled, which is a pain in the ass. I wondered if I could be a merchant in a big store if I didn''t have the ability to gather a variety of information and be quick on the uptake. I looked at Org who was sitting on the edge of a barrel full of oranges that had apparently been sent from somewhere else. "I have no intention of joining the war against the empire at the moment, but ......" I''m sure I''ll be there in connection with Nue and Kal and Galahad and others, and I''d like to see what kind of forces they have, but I''ve got a lot of cores to deal with right now. It''s good to spare your life. I don''t like the fact that many of Homura''s friends take their own lives and the lives of others lightly, perhaps because they can live so easily. Ugh!¡¡I have a history of jumping off cliffs and trying to return to death. ......!¡¡I wanted to move on in the labyrinth, too. "I can''t argue with that. I''m putting my desire to go to the labyrinth and new lands ahead of my desire to come back to life." "Well, when you put it that way, I also went around looking for food when I was young, so I can''t say anything about the treatment of my own life. He laughed and retracted half of his previous comment. Org must have been going around a lot in his younger days, or maybe that''s why he''s so hale and hearty at the office even though he''s at an age where he should be looking after the documents. I am glad that he is strong. "Let''s leave some water and food for now. And this." Again, I will give you a sign and an explanation of how to use it. He doesn''t seem to have any production skills or combat skills - I have a feeling he might have some from his younger days, but at least you wouldn''t be able to tell from his occupation and appearance, and he should be less likely to be attacked by a player, but beware. I was a little relieved when he told me that he would lock himself up in the cellar for storage if the need arose. "Oh, take this. It''ll weigh you down a little bit. We have received one core. I have accepted the accompanying one hundred and fifty-four cores. No, wait. It weighs more than a little £¡£¡£¡£¡¡¡How far out of touch they are in business! "There are others who leave their things with me because I bring them back to life like Gentiles. Now get out of my way. They''re gone!¡¡Gone!" Even as we speak, the shipment arrives, piled high with goods awaiting inspection by the orgs. I have something to say, but it looks like I''m really in the way, so I quietly leave. I wish I could have met Hop who went with me to Fuso, but he seems to have gone to the countryside of Fagat to buy something, unfortunately. And the restaurant , a place I am ashamed to come here on foot. But it would be embarrassing to pick up a horse-drawn carriage. The carriage in front of the building is still in front of you.¡¡The expensive-looking carriage has just arrived. I sent an email to Rudolph, the head chef, to let him know that I would be there. ...... I am surprised that I have a reservation, even though I have a relationship with him. Homura. I was looking around, and then Christina came down. Is that Mr. Conrad, the escort, helping her out of the carriage?¡¡He''s quite a good-looking, clean-cut man. He seems to be a daughter of high status, so the appearance of his escort must be important to her. Long time no see. What a coincidence. "Hmm. No, I was told you were coming. I don''t usually divulge the reservations of my customers in this restaurant, but we had dinner together once and Homura once asked you when I would be coming, didn''t he?¡¡Unless both parties are willing to meet." He looks cold and expressionless, but he is attentive enough to explain the situation of the restaurant while revealing the details. The moment she gets off the carriage and our eyes meet, her expression relaxes and the corners of her eyes droop a little, making her look quite cute. "I''m glad to hear that. May I join you?" "Yes." Well, you''ve got my permission, but how about an escort?¡¡Crossing your arms would be too close, so you hold out your right hand. Palm facing down, palm facing up is the way to ask someone to dance. ...... If it looks wrong, quickly change it to face up. Christina puts her left hand on top of mine, as if I was right. I''ll buy a book on the etiquette of this country later. I have no idea what the creators of this game are so particular about. I don''t want to be formal, but it is useful when you don''t know the distance between people, especially with the opposite s*x. Mr. Conrad seemed relieved that he was right. We had an unexpected dinner together, aperitif was a berry brandy with soda. We drank aperitifs with berry brandy and soda. I invited Mr. Conrad to join us, but he said that it was not a good idea for him to be under the protection of the guards ....... Usually they stand by the wall in the same room, but I was not comfortable with that, so we had dinner in the antechamber as before. "Delicious. I''ve been coming here for a long time and they are getting better and better these days." "Yeah. It tastes and looks first class." Next up were bite-sized cucumber tartlets, yogurt with a less habitual cheese?¡¡The tart crust is thin and savory to the touch. Accompanying the tart was deep-fried corn, which was lightly battered and yet crispy. The macaroni au gratin, a simple dish of cream and cheese, has a large piece of macaroni with a charred and savory surface, and the cream and cheese involved are rich but gentle. The cream and cheese involved in the dish are rich but gentle. I can''t wait for the next dish. "Homura, I know it''s late, but thank you for the necklace. He thanks me by lightly touching my chest with his fingertips, which is probably where the necklace is. "It''s a talisman against something that may not happen. It may not mean anything." I''m a little nervous when people are too happy. "I like the design, too." "I''m glad to hear you say that." The bashful look on his face is quite a feast for the eyes. Because it is a game world, many of the residents are beautiful men and women, and even if they are not beautiful, they have a distinctive appearance. Except for special individuals, even if they are beautiful, their eyes lack light or they are somewhat mob-like, but when they become special individuals, such as the couple at the inn in Fast, they instantly become lively and their presence increases. Christina may also be a special character, but did she become a special character because I asked her to guide me, or was she a special character from the beginning? Cold soup of green pepper, squid, cured ham, and golden lotus flower. The vegetables were cut into large pieces, and the squid was exquisitely half-cooked, crispy, sweet, and exquisite. "The crystals we exchanged before have Lengard''s name on them, too, don''t they?¡¡In fact, it caused a bit of a stir." "A fuss?" The spicy broth of well-cooled green pepper and golden lotus flowers rounds out the flavor. The cream and cheese that had just been served was so creamy that it felt good in the mouth. "Yes, there is someone with the same name, Lengard." I wonder if the mask is still in effect, since he hasn''t told me his name and I haven''t gotten him yet. No, I''ve never done anything strange on the Isle, I''ve just been getting food and eating at restaurants. "Production is skillful, strength is guaranteed. He has contacts with the high priesthood and the royal family of Fagat, and there are many people in our country who would like to establish a friendship with him, but none of us have ever met him in person, since all of his men are eliminated. It seems that the Lord has left open the possibility of meeting with them when He feels like it. ...... was self-conscious. The only people I''ve ever had a real conversation with in Fagat are the perverts in the arena and the perverted dragon knight. The priesthood can''t help but have a stale laugh or hear it in their expressionless, one-note laughter and benevolent faces, but they said they wouldn''t make a big deal out of it either. I mean, are those two really of high rank? ....... "They''re kind of overprotective. It''s a bit depressing to have more nobles on top of the formalities of interacting with the royal family. "I''m more on the formal side myself. --I''m glad Homura is the way it is. "Excuse me, thank you for your generosity." I bow in amusement at Christina''s words. I just exchanged a patka for a duchess: ....... Well, I knew she was a nice lady from a nice place, but she''s the first family in this country, except for the royal family! Next is the dish I brought for you. The meaty prawn meat is served with richly flavored vegetables and a thick, slightly pungent spicy sauce. The texture of the prawns was also perfectly cooked, and the sauce, which was apparently made from prawn shells and miso paste, was superb. "I hear it''s very pretty, I''d like to see it at least. < BUTT£¡£¡£¡£¡£¡£¡£¡£¡£¡£¡£¡£¡£¡ Wait a minute, where did you get the idea of a high priesthood or interacting with royalty! What, is High Priest Kyle so important after all?¡¡I''ve never even spoken to royalty. £¡£¡£¡£¡£¡ Who is that £¡£¡£¡£¡£¡ 262 - - The End of the Greetings "Uh. Christina, what''s the story with this Lengard and his interaction with the priesthood and royalty?" I put my hand on my forehead, close my eyes, and ask Christina. "I don''t know the details, but the heads of the six temples in Arsuna have received an oracle about Lengard, but it is top secret. But secrets leak out, don''t they?¡¡The rumors of interaction with the priesthood are predictions pieced together from stories that have leaked out." I had no idea about this at all!!!!¡¡Neither His Eminence Kyle nor Ekaterina had anything to do with it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! "I understand that you have regular dinners with the royal family. He''s the winner of the tournament, and some of us have actually seen Lengard in Fagat''s palace and have tasted his food, so we''re pretty sure." I am not at all sure. The reason for the misunderstanding was that time when I went to see the dragon and that time I gave a dish to the perverted captain! If it weren''t for what happened to Cal, I''d think he was a different person. I feel as if the remnants of Kal''s leaning days are erupting this time...or not. ....... No, I''d like to think it''s the remnants of his knightly days in the empire. "I managed to clear up the misunderstanding since Lengard''s store in Fast doesn''t deal in jewelry, but I was troubled when he started digging up roots of a relationship that never existed and then demanded that I give him the < that I exchanged with Homura. No, you''re the only one I''ve interacted with on the topic. Oh, by the way, I can''t use the design of Garganos, so I''ve only put a few of my possession charms on display in my store, the workmanship is embarrassing. In the end, what they consistently offer are <, , medicines, and food, mainly lunchboxes. "I was trying to hide it, but my feathers flew off--I''m sorry you told me not to tell anyone." > is for mental protection and a substitute for curses and mental attacks, and feathers fly to the target of the attack, or something like that. I''m going to cry a little, Duchess!¡¡I never thought I''d look so weak. No, but war is about to break out, and I could be unstable. When I met Christina, I didn''t have a store yet, and I hadn''t even been to the labyrinth. Christina inhibits recognition of the same person before and after the mask is put on, regardless of whether one hears the voice or can see half of the face. The condition for removing the mask is either "putting on and taking off the mask in front of you" or "saying your own name while wearing the mask". "If you are Lancelot''s master in the general store, then I am Lengard." He puts on the mask in front of Christina. She doesn''t change her clothes, but fortunately she is dressed well enough to enter an expensive restaurant (here). Oh, can I invoke [awe] just for the fun of it?¡¡--No. Well, the <> alone is divine enough. But I can''t get rid of the suspicion that only the face is floating in my mind. "Lenguard ......, sir ......?" Christina freezes with a stunned look on her face. "Any direct interaction with royalty or the priesthood of Arsuna is a hoax. The only people in the country I consider close are the head chef here, the owner of the wholesale store near the temple of Dur, and Christina." I''m a little embarrassed, but perhaps we should try this exchange again after the event? As a result, he froze. I am not sure if I was able to follow up with him as he seemed to be in a state of shock. ...... Christina''s loyalty to the royal family seems to be higher and straighter than I expected, and when I told her that I was a rengaard, she was troubled about the <>. She had refused to tell me because she thought I was not the Rengaard, but she felt that she had lied unintentionally and that she would have to lie to the royal family if she was questioned again, even if she kept quiet about it. If I told him that I didn''t mind telling him, it would be hard for him to let go of something that he exchanged with his friend for the first time. ....... Christina didn''t give me the core because we weren''t close enough, which is normal since I wouldn''t want the duchess to give it to a man she''s only met twice. Her brother is going into battle for the first time, and all the dukes have offered their cores to the king as a token of their loyalty via the head of the family. He also gives Christina a sign and some healing potion, and they part ways. I''m sorry if I''m making you feel like you''re going to have to go through this again after the event!¡¡Let''s not divulge it next time. Long live the do-over!¡¡With these thoughts in mind, I moved to < as the meeting time with Paltin was near. I guessed that Reno and Black would go first, and then Paltin and Mistiff and the others would be having a good time. Thanks to the water attribute of Narn, the blue dragon, Sir and Isle near the Narn Mountains are rich in water and forests, while the Baron side, where the roost and hunting grounds are located, is rocky mountains thanks to Paltin''s metallic nature. Galahad and his friends said that the empire has mineral resources but not much greenery, which makes me suspect that the empire on the other side of the isle is not so green because it bypasses the isle side where the cavalrymen live. I like fluffy things, but I have a tragic constitution that my fluffy things turn into wire-like body hairs after being in contact with them for a long time. "I want to live here." The beautiful blonde girl with the tragic constitution appeals to us without even a moment''s pause to greet us. Although it is not a full moon, the mystiff appears even when there is no moon since it is known that no one comes to the island. They do not come close to me, let alone let me touch them, but this faint interaction is quite nice, even when we are not attached to them. "I think it''s fine. It''s all right... I''ve got my attributes, so I''ll just surrender to this guy and we''ll be all set." Paltin is blissfully surrounded by fluffy fluffy things, and White is on my shoulder looking at him with a dazed look. "What a thing to say to Mr. Paltin! And black punches white from my chest. "How dare you take up arms against the dragons of the material world!" White fires back. "You''re owned by this man, too!" A barrage of black blows. "I have never been a slave!¡¡You''re the one who''s always trying to get into my pockets whenever you can!" White parries, dusting off black''s hand and boom.... "Can''t you do that somewhere else?" "Shut up!" "Shut up!" I got a double paw poke in the face, but I don''t know why. Leno, the guy next to me, gives me a handkerchief with a pitying look in his eyes. Is there a footprint on the handkerchief? After all that happened, I got the core from Parthin, and it seems that Leno''s has arrived automatically too. Also, in the confusion of the moment, a gift from Black came. I have a feeling that more people will be staying with me when I meet Partin after the event. Personally, I don''t mind if he stays with us or not, but I wonder if it will be easier emotionally for Leno if Paltin officially joins us.¡¡If I see a humanoid, I would rather be a friend than a hierarchical relationship. Mistiffs thanked me via Partin for making the forest more comfortable for them. <, but it''s my island, so I''ve been working hard to plant trees and make it a nice forest. In a natural state without human intervention, the plants that make up the forest will take 600 to 1,000 years to thrive and be selected, slowly establishing themselves as a species unique to the area and creating a forest. However, a forest can be created more quickly with human intervention, although it takes a few years of work such as planting a variety of plants of 50 to 100 different species that suit the environment, clearing branches so that the sun shines on the forest ground, and applying fertilizer and water. Well, in the case of this island, the trees are already thick, so we just remove the branches when we feel like it and add fruitful plants that suit the climate or oaks that Liddell likes. I leave Paltin, who is having fun with Mistiff, thinking that no one will come if I stay on the island without leaving the core... I return to the fast. Then I stop by the Adventurer''s Guild, which is open at night, though it''s not a gag. I''m no longer strategizing, or even laying the groundwork, I''m just walking around handing out charms to my friends and acquaintances. Well, I hope you''re safe and sound during this event. "Good evening. Can I ask you a question?" Good evening. Yes, of course. Emel and Nana''s place is kind of involving a pick-up guy or a core man, but during the conversation, they are being forced to deliver more and more goods. During the event, the deliveries are not worth any points and the consumables are not returned. ....... Stay strong. A few minutes ago, a young girl who gave me a core was having the same conversation at Plum, but when she saw me stop for a moment at the entrance, she quickly removed me from the room. So these guys here are not customers of the guild, I understand. "Basically, the guilds are supposed to be close to the inhabitants of the city, but some guilds are close to the state, others are close to the commercial guilds, and so on. Some guilds give priority to the favoritism of those in a certain position. Fast (here) is financially profitable and is completely neutral, but if the city is in danger it will cooperate with the guilds and the state." My question to Plum was the position of the Adventurers'' Guild during the event. Unless there is a major war in the city, the guild will remain open. The guild will be open as long as there is no major war in the city. The guild will be selling goods on behalf of the retail stores that will be closed during this period, and the core is entrusted to the guild master Abey. The guild is staffed by a former SSS-ranked assistant mass, and if he were to attack the guild alone, he would be beaten back and barred from entering or leaving the guild. Adventurers'' guilds also vary, some of them leave their cores to the state, and some of them give priority to the big merchant guilds that hold their wallets above all else. At any rate, the Adventurers'' Guild headquarters here in Fast, in Baron where the labyrinths for adventurers are located, and in Isle where demons often appear from the northern forests, are said to be financially and politically sound. If the time comes, they are neutral, so they can be rushed into. Pram explained in a loud and friendly voice for the others in the guild to hear. There are other measures, though, he said in a whisper. It seems that the Adventurers'' Guild is doing fine. I''m done with my business, but I''m going to pay Al a visit. He seems to have everything and food for a siege without my help, but I''ll drop off something sweet while I''m here. We have moved well today, even if we have not had much time to prepare. "My Lord, you have a summons from the Adventurers'' Guild, Lord Marcos..." When I shifted to the general store in a deserted area, Cal told me that the Adventurers'' Guild had called him. Who''s Marcos? I mean, I''ve just been there. "I''m low in rank and I don''t remember being summoned. Is this an event-related call?¡¡If everyone in the clan wanted to raise their ranks, there would be a special quest for them, and I would be happy to do so, but I have other things to do and am putting it off to the back burner. "I don''t know whether to think it''s strange that Homura''s rank is so low, or if it''s just natural since he hasn''t been an adventurer for so long." Galahad looks like he''s about to sigh. "Well, I guess I''ll go." "I''ll go with you." Uh, no. I''d appreciate it if you''d stop being so obvious. I was perplexed by Cal''s offer, which was unusual for me since I''m always at home. I end up walking down the main street with Cal and Galahad, masked as they are calling me to a grocery store. There are some people following us at a distance, but we can just transition back home. I don''t think masks and eye patches are unusual, but since they are equipped with masks and eye patches, they are probably being evaluated. I also think that the cool looking handsome guy next to me shouldn''t stand out. The big guy next to him is also manly and handsome, though he gives me an impression of him when I talk to him because he has a lot of silly expressions. Can you guys please not stand in line? And I''m going to destroy a part of the royal city of Faina on the first day of the big battle. 263 - - 261. Partial Disappearance "Well, are the kings and nobles really behaving themselves?" The view of the royal city blown by the wind from the top of the golden dragon Paltin. "...... that''s it." You can''t touch me when you see this. On either side of the head of the paltin I ride are Kal on a pure white horse and Galahad on a pitch-black horse. Galahad''s second horseman was a horse-shaped beast that sometimes breathed fire as flames burned in the ball joints on its hooves. --< d*mn, it looks cool on both sides. I am standing on the head of the golden dragon that is giving a heart mark to Bahamut. Mr. Pertin, the overlapping scales are so rugged that it hurts my buttocks when I sit on them. And yet the surface of the scales themselves are smooth and slippery. ....... When standing, the robe is stable no matter what happens to it, even if it flaps in the wind, thanks to [carry]. I first asked Bahamut to follow the two in the sky, but despite his relative enthusiasm, there was a cavalry battle between the two of us. "I am too proud to ride Bahamut-sama!¡¡Then I''ll do it!" And if Paltin says "You''re not a cavalryman, Mr. Partin! ......!¡¡I should have been the cavalryman in the first place!" and Reno. It''s my cavalry war, but no one is fighting for me. In the end, Reno was ordered to escort Mistiff while Paltin was away and dropped out, and since Bahamut was too big for him to see underneath, he had Paltin ride him. Cal quietly offered to ride on his own horseman, but I''d rather fly with my skills while munching on my rice than ride tandem on that conspicuous white horse. Below us is the royal city of Faina, with its mesh of waterways. And the ruins of the Marquis of Lobster''s mansion, where water quickly poured in from a collapsed canal, causing the adjacent canals to connect to each other like a reservoir. The large site surrounded on all sides by waterways, as is typical of a marquis''s house, is submerged, though the water is flowing into a gouged hole rather than having sunk. The barely remaining land at the edges of the site is collapsing, unable to withstand the powerful water. In Pertin''s Breath, a plot where a commercial guild used to be located has been gouged out, in addition to the house. The color of the water at each site has changed to a deep blue, so one can imagine that the holes have been made much deeper. "Pigyak!" "Bahamut is very motivated." You woke up during the banquet of the gods and stayed quiet because you were preparing for a big battle at my request. He is not likely to do anything reckless if he has an immediate opportunity to vent. Bahamut was flying at his original size from the skies above Fast to Faina, and many people must have seen him make two large turns before Paltin breathed his breath. Do we include wings and tail in the size of a dragon?¡¡Mr. Bahamut, I suspect you are bigger than King''s Landing. "Lord ....... The Lord Lobster did not have a good reputation among the nobility, and the commercial guilds have been collecting too many concessions for themselves instead of allocating them to their members. Many would be glad to see this happen." "Please don''t do that, because it will seriously submerge King''s Landing cleanly." Voices from the left and right are urging us not to do this. The residents will not accept the thought that they don''t know anyone in Faina and that they will be able to come back after the event. The game-like thinking tends to prevail if you don''t walk around the city and make acquaintances, and the unrealistic situation of looking down on the city from the sky is contributing to this thinking. A little reflection. The wind is stronger up in the sky, but it''s a party conversation, so we can talk without any problem. It seems that this is considered as a kind of skill that is automatically activated by the residents. It is said that there are places and skills that have an obstructive effect, preventing party members from talking to each other. "I have narrowed down the range of my skill, though it has pierced me deeply. --I would like to see the breath of Bahamut, but they are right, this whole area will be obliterated. We should go where there is no forest, because there is a possibility that the mystiffs are in the forest. Paltin''s words would be followed by a request to show Breath in a place without forests. The location of the Marquise''s house is close to the castle, so it seems that the main castle would have fallen if the location was slightly off. Mr. Paltin seems to have learned to control his strength against mystiffs and cavalry beasts, although he seems to be a roughneck. "There''s no sign of anything coming out, so I guess I''ll go home. While stroking Bahamut, I thought about going to the forestless empire to breathe his breath, completely ignoring my earlier reflections. I would like to see Bahamut flying and spitting his breath. It''s not every day that things are back to normal after an event, and Bahamut is a cool guy. "Yes." "Oh, yeah." In answer to their questions, I tell Paltin that I am going to transition and quickly return to the general store. Pertin needs to take human form, or it will be a disaster. The story of why this event is happening goes back to two days ago. I was summoned by the vice-master of the Adventurers'' Guild, and there were two messengers from the Marquis of Lobster waiting for me. Before entering the room, I was told that I was only asked to introduce them and not to do any work for the guild, and that I could refuse their request. "I tried to talk to Moss of the commercial guild, but he refused. I''m troubled by the fact that the commercial guilds here have been acting in a way that is outside of the headquarters'' intentions lately. I have to ask Mr. Doloitz to come to the guild as well. The man who says this with a smile is the deputy masseur of a commercial guild in King''s Landing. I have a bad feeling that he has already turned me down once, and I also have a bad feeling that he complains with a smile. In the meeting room, or rather reception room, of the Adventurers'' Guild, sitting on the sofa are myself and a big man called Doroiz, and next to us is the vice-master of the Commercial Guild in well-tailored clothes. The others are standing, including Marcos, and Cal and Galahad are standing diagonally behind us. Aside from Doroiz, the submass of the commercial guild seems to be paying more attention to Cal than to me, and although his face is looking at me, more than half of his eyes are on Cal. "I''ll tell Master Lobster about Moss''s attitude. I''ve put him through a lot of trouble, and I''m sure he''s prepared for it." This is House Kaiselbeard of Lobster, House Droits. "I''ll get straight to the point. I''ll buy your two beastmen, a black and white wolf and a black wolf." Yes? "Not uncommon among Gentiles, but rare among native beasts, Master Lobster wants you. They would be happy in the Marquise''s keeping. Especially the white ones if the need arises..." "...... hey." Galahad interrupts Doroiz, who continues to blabber on and on, and releases a low voice. "Hiccup!" It is not only the voice that is released, but also the killing intent that causes Doroiz to let out a short scream. "Oh, no, I''m asking you, Mr. Lengard. What kind of a servant does not wait for his master''s answer before speaking? The deputy masses of the commercial guilds seem to have more balls than Doloitz. "Hey, hey, don''t start here. If Lengard refuses to go along with this, he promised to back off. Marcos, vice-master of the Adventurers'' Guild, intervenes. I had met him at the time of my rank-up, but at the time I thought he was an "ex-adventurer" because of his age. Later I heard that he is still active and quite strong. "Of course I refuse. And Galahad is a friend, not a servant. "Homura (Lengard)." "The Lord says so, and I''ll leave you to it." No, the moment you deny your relationship with Galahad, don''t start talking about the Lord next to me, Cal!¡¡How about the slight hint of murder in your smile? "The fact that you didn''t give me an immediate answer means that you would consider it under certain conditions, right?¡¡I hate to put it this way, but I''ll pay more than the market price, and I can guarantee that King''s Landing will be your full-time business selling alcohol at your fast." The deputy mas of a commercial guild that bites back. I forget his name, but apparently he is more of a crook than Doroitz. "The guarantee from King''s Landing means two things: one from the commercial guilds and one from the royal court. --Two mere beasts are a bargain, aren''t they?" I stare at the man''s face with a wry smile on my face. "Too bad. I was wondering whether I should destroy the Marquise of Lobster first, or if other nobles would come out after I destroy them, whether it would be more efficient to clear the land of the entire royal city first. Since our current conversation has led us to the conclusion that the commercial guilds in King''s Landing should also be destroyed, I think I would prefer the whole city. "You think you can do that?¡¡We can ask you to put pressure on several different influential people. Even though you have Mr. Lancelot, depending on your answer, Fast will be put in a bad position. "Yes, yes. You don''t get away with this against the Marquise of Lobster! Droits, who after falling silent as if he had swallowed a stick, started talking about the deputy masters of the commercial guild who were asking subtle questions that were slightly off the mark and who seemed to be very much a villain of the third rank. "Homura (Lengard)....... Is it physics that crushes?" "Yeah, I think Bahamut''s breath will do the trick. And now we have Paltin." The two men looked slightly uncomfortable when I mentioned Paltin''s name. Apparently, they were more afraid of Paltin than of Bahamut. She used to fly over the empire and was treated like an active bad dragon, come to think of it. I thought that Bahamut might have trouble holding back, so I thought that the whole city should be taken care of. The capital of the Aisle is heavily warded, and Fagat has its own wards. However, in Faina, there are only individual barriers such as adventurers'' guilds and temples, and I don''t feel the existence of such barriers on a national scale. If there really are no tricks, I think we can get there in one shot. "No, yeah. Because it sounded like a clearing mixed with a crushing,...... seriously." "Lord, in these cases, crushing usually means social sanctions. ......" The two people who asked with slightly puzzled looks on their faces. "That''s not my area of expertise, so I''ll pass." I don''t think we should be playing to their strengths! "I have a feeling that the conversation is being lightened by something more disturbing than it was earlier: ......" Marcos is puzzled. "I wish you''d stop spouting dreamy nonsense. If you offer me a beast on the way here, there will be no more compensation." "You should regret defying the Marquise de Lobster!" Galahad and Cal look at the poor things as they argue, apparently thinking they can''t do it. "Well, if we don''t get confirmation by the end of the day tomorrow that the royal court is not in the Marquis of Lobster''s debt, then we''ll leave the city. "You don''t seem to see reality. You''re a fool to go against the Marquise with just two beastmen''s children..." "Stop saying that Lapidus and Noel are just a bunch of fools." Interrupting the vice mass''s words, he invoked [awe]. I didn''t want to invoke it, but [awe] and [awe] are influenced by emotions. In short, I am angry too. While I blinked slowly and opened my eyes, the two men in front of me, Doroitz collapsed, unable to breathe, and the vice-mas of the commercial guild was also drenched in sweat and dizzy. Galahad told me later that he was so angry that I did not recognize him, but it was as if the air was physically heavier, the temperature was lower, and there was a tingling and fine thunder. The next day I received a letter through the Adventurers'' Guild that the royal court had nothing to do with the actions of the Marquise of Lobster. It must have been the effect of having Paltin and Bahamut fly over the city during the day. Also, Kal and Galahad fluttered out when I came back from the guild, so they might have done something. So, we opened an event that we had no intention of destroying, and we made a hole in a section of Faina, the capital of the kingdom. We had been warned and we would have had time to escape. But I don''t think they had time to take out all the furniture and documents, so give up on that. I don''t know if I should tell you this, but do you know what a meeting is? "If we didn''t know who the Lord was, we wouldn''t have been able to negotiate, and the result might have been the same. ....... It might have been a good opportunity." "But even so, would you normally wonder whether to sink the Marquise''s house or to go with him to the royal capital in case he might join them later?" "It was they who smelled the cooperation of many influential people. ......" Galahad whines to me, and Cal follows him up. But neither of them will make eye contact, why! 264 - - The General Store Nothing seems to have happened to the general store while he was away. The points for the cores of those who protect are fixed, but the points converted from the cores of those who are killed are proportional to their level, and the points for combatants are twice as many as for production workers. It seems that it is actually Kal and Galahad who are targeted by players in terms of both points and skills, rather than Lapidus and Noel. The battle in the trap dungeon has been posted on the bulletin board with SS, and Ochazuke and Peter warned me yesterday that the drinking boy and the knights will be targeted. And I was flashy in the arena. I suggested that we close the general store, but he said he didn''t like the idea of running away. Since we can all move, we decided to keep the shop open as usual and close it if we are attacked. By the way, the members of the clan are the members except for Kikuhime. Shin and Leo should be gathering cores with Ochazuke and the larger clan of Ochazuke''s friends who made a pact with them, and Peter should be working hard on his assassination solo. "I heard that some fools tried to cross the counter, but the wards prevented them from doing so, and Eagle and Camilla eliminated them." "They were chased down by a customer in line. I''m going to take over for a minute. The two who have been checking on the situation report back to me. As usual, I am not allowed to go behind the partition. "I''m sorry to leave you, but I''m going to join Mistiff. I''ll go to Mistiff and give you Reno in exchange. Paltin keeps his eyes fixed on Bahamut, but Bahamut is unconcerned. Bahamut does not like to be touched by anyone but me, and when Paltin presses him, he keeps his distance or gives him a curt smack with his tail. He seems to be more interested in flying freely at the moment. This time, I asked him to fly at his normal size to show off his power, but at that size, he would circle the planet in no time. He seems to be in a good mood now that Verus has made him small enough to fly in the relative size of the world. "Sorry, have a bite to eat before you go, if you don''t mind. You want me to bring you some partin?" We prepared snacks for EP recovery and a packed lunch for Partin on his return to the island. A crispy dough with fluffy pink strawberry cream, thinly sliced strawberries, and powdered sugar to make up the eclair. For Galahad, who prefers savory to sweet, a simple hot dog with a mustard-crusted sausage on lightly baked bread. Galahad watches as Paltin gets on the transition plate, then happily takes a bite as Cal starts brewing a pot of tea. "Oh, my God! It''s like eating a sausage straight from the sausage. First there''s a crunchy texture, and then the bread disappears in your mouth!¡¡One more!" The sausage is crispy and juicy when you bite through it, and I like the way it''s browned in the oven. I don''t want a hot dog that leaves bread in my mouth forever. I think it''s good to have bread that tastes good on its own, but you also need bread that enhances the other breads when combined. "The sweetness is also excellent." A man smiling and nibbling on an eclair. I wonder how he doesn''t let the cream stick out, or does he have some kind of skill? ....... As I watch the two men eat while sipping the tea Cal made for me, I hear a commotion outside. "What?" "Some idiot must be charging in." Galahad, the neighbor, says in an easygoing tone. Eagle and Camilla are taking good care of me, so I don''t think anything will happen to Lapidus and Noel. If the need arises, we can all move on. "Why are they coming back to the general store?" There are other knights out there. "We haven''t received any information about other countries moving, including the capital, so it''s probably a group of gentiles." Cal is apparently collecting information via e-mail or something. The means of communication in this world varies from a whisper of a spirit or the appearance of a small bird next to the face, the most common being the appearance of several light particles. Verna''s e-mail was a butterfly. "I thought it was finally Bahamut''s turn." "Piggya!" I patted Bahamut for his cheerful reply. "He''s pretty keen on destroying the whole country, isn''t he?" "I''m the type of person who wants to annihilate the enemy." He replies to Galahad, who looks stunned. I don''t trust those who left the Marquis of Lobster alone until now and then cut him off like a lizard''s tail with a piece of paper. From the looks of the vice-mas of the guild of commerce, it seems that there are many nobles and merchants who have been pocketing ill-gotten gains by taking advantage of the Marquis, who has been getting into all sorts of trouble. --I don''t know anyone in King''s Landing, but I''m not so kind as to worry about the good guys on the enemy side in a war. This time, the number of cores that have come in is much smaller, probably because of the warning I gave. I heard that the two people I met at the Adventurers'' Guild, the one from the Marquise''s family returned once but immediately ran away in a carriage, and the vice-master of the Commerce Guild did not even return to Faina. The second-in-command of the Adventurers'' Guild says they will never return. You gutless son of a b*tc*! No. I''m getting angry again, remembering the exchange at the guild. "......" I notice that Cal is looking at me as if he is in trouble. I wonder if he''s just a little put off by my belligerence. Come to think of it, I don''t think we''ve ever been together in battle. ....... "...... I was going to take care of the necessary killings. Where in the world can I be of service ......?" Yeah, it was something different. "No, I''m just glad you''re here Cal. You let me go out and do whatever I want, and it''s such a waste." Yeah, why do we really have Mr. Strongest in the grocery store? "Lord ......" No, wait. Stop staring at me, it''s embarrassing!¡¡That said, I can''t avert my gaze here, it''s too atmospheric. ......! "Lord!¡¡There''s a dragon outside." "Parthin has left, and Bahamut is here." "Piggya!" Noel''s voice comes from the other side of the impasse. Nice timing! "It''s a yellow one." Apparently there is a yellow stray dragon out there. "I''ve seen a lot of old men get asked by bigwigs to leave their names and registry, or just to be around beautiful women who look like they''ve done a lot of things. ....... Something different ......" Cal quickly went to the front and I followed behind him and heard Galahad blurting out that he was following him as well. When he went outside, he saw a yellowish dragon of the sleek type flying diagonally above him. Aside from Bahamut, it is much smaller than Paltin. "That direction is the upper part of the Gentile clan [Golden Hammer] or [Black Lily], isn''t it?" Mr. Cal, don''t you think you know too much about this place? "Summoning dragons in the city is a bit extreme." Camilla, that stings me too. It''s starting for the breath!¡¡It''s not a question of whether they''re going to be able to get to us." "Pighigh!" Bahamut gives a cry of motivation at Galahad''s cry. "Are you indiscriminate? "Whoa-ohh!¡¡I didn''t know you could already tame dragons!" "Master Lengard''s dragon is definitely cooler, though!" "Ohhhh, I''m pointing the breath this way: £¡£¡£¡£¡" Who the hell are you? "Black Lily''s place said they had some kind of secret weapon before the event!¡¡Isn''t that it?" "Oh wow, I''ve never seen one up close before! "Oh, man, that''s so cool!" "Kyah!¡¡Master White Wren~ Take my core~!" Please don''t throw the core!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!¡¡I''m not sure if they were scared or not. Most of the players stayed where they were for some reason, and those who tried to run away came back. By the way, the eagle is in the store, and if the dragon (this one) is a diversion, it is foolish to move from your position. The Golden Hammer and the Black Lily are also a clan that has been harassing Elias. They have a large light armor store right in front of the general store, or rather in front of Elias''s store. Basically, there is a restriction of one store per person in the city, but it is likely that they have their clan members invest in their shops. This was clearly shown in the color-coded power distribution map that Kal gave us at the meeting. I wonder how long Cal has really been aware of the situation. Bahamut, I''m sorry. Please be a little more patient, we''re just getting started and I''d appreciate it if you could find a place where you can be more aggressive." I can only imagine the disaster of a plain in front. While I''m saying this, the breath is getting ready. Parthin told me that the dragon''s breath is so powerful that it needs time to catch up. I think Bahamut was shooting almost without a pause. The target is Elias''s store and general store (my house). Elias is away with [Retsuhi], but the loss of supplies would be a big blow to the production workers. Normally, warehouses registered with a commercial guild cannot be opened without permission, but what about destroying the whole building?¡¡It''s a mystery. I''ve moved my stuff to the House''s warehouse just in case, so I don''t have to worry about it: ....... Worried, but in a hurry, I use the < sign and throw two <> into my mouth with tears in my eyes. The effect of this sign is E! Even if the gauge is full, you can eat one more gauge, and you simply get more E! is doubled. The first thing to use is [Dru''s Gentle Cocoon Ball]. The first thing to do is to cast [Dru''s Cocoon of Gentleness] on the customers lined up outside the store and on the people inside the store, including Lapis Noel. Next is the shield of solid ground, which is applied to the party members ...... and to the store as well. Like a pure white cotton flower, or something more delicate and soft and firmer, it enveloped the players around it. That''s it, something like a cushion that ruins people. The effect is that either I become incapacitated or I lose E! is 0, and my M! while it''s on. A half-breed dragon. "If it''s yellow and has small scales, its breath isn''t that strong!" Here they come! I was a little depressed as I listened to the conversation, thinking that Cal and Galahad had definitely outdone me in terms of knowledge, when Breath arrived. It was a breath of light covered with a tingling electricity that was too weak to be called lightning. The defense skill that Kal activated [Shield of Firm Earth] ended without being used. E!" was reduced by one gauge, so it seems that some damage was inflicted on the guests. It is a mystery what kind of skill he used, but it is hard to believe that he is the same person who was chewing an eclair a moment ago. The blue-lined cloak fluttering in the air looks cool from a distance. However, if there is a conspicuously good-looking man nearby, he will be seen and compared with him, so please don''t do this. I pretend to check behind me and slowly look toward the store. The store is safe, and you also check to make sure that no customers have been injured in the battle. He looks at me with a blank expression on his face, as if wondering why he''s turning his back on the enemy in the middle of a battle, but I decide not to pay attention. The wedge of truth of Verus. He then turns around and launches his skill against the dragon. This skill, you have to do the motion of looking back while fluttering the robe that Verus often does. ....... In my case, the cloak is also fluttering in vain, even though there is no wind to do it. I was a little worried because I had never used this skill before, but the wedge that had sewn up Bahamut came out after all. The one I produced is much smaller than that, but the target dragon is also small (...), so it seems to be OK. The first wedge that fell from the sky made a loud thud and sent the dragon crashing down, and the building below was crushed by the dragon''s huge body before it could even make a cracking sound. The dust that rose up in the air hid the dragon, but the wedge rained down more, and from time to time through the dust we could see yellow tails and wings bouncing wildly against the wedge. While the cocoon ball was in existence, my M! would recover and I would give it a push. I set the target terrain as a range based on the map Cal gave me. A magical version of Verus'' [Meteor], which is powerful from the sword but limited in range, but magic is more flexible. The number of falling stars is MP-dependent, so if you make it too wide, it will be weak, but now, in addition to the usual recovery, you can also recover cocoons. I did something embarrassing once, so I''ll go with Verus this time! "Crash, meteor!" 265 - - Visitors Even in broad daylight, I see a falling fireball with a bluish-white tail. Small ones that seem to burn up before they reach the ground, huge chunks of light cracking into light of the same color. It comes down as a rain that melts and pierces everything equally. Krulkan comes out of the air in front of me, floating in the form of a staff. When a big one falls, it makes a blatant crater. ....... I don''t know if it''s because I specify the range or if there''s some kind of magic shield, but the bombs, including the craters, land without getting out of the range. The only thing is that the shockwaves come in a steady stream without any destruction. I feel the ground is shaking too, but I pretend not to notice because I am floating. I can hear a rumbling behind me, but I''m sure it''s just my imagination. The air is full of energy. My cape is billowing and flapping in the wind. I don''t feel any particular strain, but in the real world I''d probably have whiplash. --What is the drop of the yellow dragon?¡¡Loin?¡¡Ribs?¡¡It may look like a meat part, but it could be a fish part, such as kama (gizzard), back, or midsection. The notification is turned off for indirect acquisitions, but the notification for cores received directly or obtained by defeating them arrives. The sound is muffled by opening the menu and displaying it. There it is, the list of the cores you have obtained, with the names you have seen. Where did I see them? I defaulted the display to the order in which I received most of the cores, but at the top are the names of the owners of the stores of those involved in the [Golden Hammer] that were listed on the map. The fact that they were all within range of the wedge attack confirms that they were all part of the same team that turned the dragon against us. The store should be cleared of land as well. I''ll quietly increase the area... several of them were destroyed by dragon breath to begin with. It''s naive to say that you destroy other people''s stores and not your own. Well, the harassing light armor shop in front of the general store was also hit, so maybe they are prepared for it. I''m that one, I''m putting up a sign in case of an attack on the general store. --I''m sorry, but I don''t want to destroy it, even though it will be back to normal when I return to the original server. M!? I was going to use a recovery medicine, but I found that I could not use it as well as [Dru''s cocoon ball of kindness], but I could use it to recover M! I was planning to use recovery potion, but I found that [Attack Recovery, Magic] and [Secreted Red Illusionist], which have the effect of recovering M! I was not going to reveal my name as usual because the ranking of the total number of cores seems to be given at the end of this event, but if I beat him, or rather, if he beats me, he will know my name. ....... "Homura, I''ve never seen so many skills before...?" Galahad asks in a party conversation. He carries a thick sword lightly on his shoulder with one hand, as if he were pulling on a jacket. He looks as if his juniors might call him "big brother. "I''m showing off for the first time something I''ve been shy about using." "No, I didn''t see anything like that in the status you showed me, did you?" "I''ve only recently seen cocooned balls and the like, come to think of it." "You''re growing again. ......" Camilla''s voice like a breath . The hem of her red mermaid-line dress is blown away by the wind, the slit is split wide, and her white thighs are on display. "Lord ...... when will this stop?" It is picturesque to see Cal coolly placing his hand on the hilt of his sword and fluttering his cloak as the wind blows. Well, he looks a little confused now. "Oh, I''m sorry. I''ll stop. I''ll stop." No, well, it seems that there are no more targets within the range of M! s recovery is not enough to keep up with the attacker''s recovery, it seems to stop naturally. "Don''t talk to me like a bath that''s been left running. ......" Galahad''s shoulders slump in weakness. From the dragon were fangs, skin, and <> skill stones. This skill stone can be used only by a specific race, so I wonder if there is a dragon race. Is it possible to use it for pets?¡¡Either way, there is only one skill stone to choose from at the end of the event, so it is dismissed. I can''t wait to see how many are coming in both here and at Faina. Once again, there is broken glass in the neighborhood, including Elias''s store. The shield of solid ground hit the general store, but the buildings on either side of it were repelled, so this damage must be from the dragon breath that got past Kal''s defense skill. What kind of defensive skill does Dragon Breath have that it only damages glass? The glass is repaired. When I stopped the meteor, M! The time magic has started to return slowly. But I''m hungry. ....... "Thanks for the trouble. Please continue shopping. He calls out to his customers and returns to the general store. Galahad and the others follow, each putting away their weapons. I can hear them saying "He talked!" and "Cute little dragon!" I agree that Bahamut is cute. "Sorry, girls, but you''re going to have to clear the way!" Galahad gently but surely drives his guests from the aisles. "Why do gentiles act so out of sync?¡¡I''ve seen a girl yelling oooh and a guy dyeing his cheeks. ......" Camilla wonders at the party conversation. Maybe it''s because most of what''s inside the girls is men. ....... I don''t know which one is the one with dyed cheeks though, since both men and women might be excited by a beautiful woman''s thighs, or a knight who prevented dragon breath with a cool face, or a brother who has a relaxed attitude toward dragons... "I''m hungry ......" "Wait, you can''t eat here!" I didn''t answer Camilla''s question, and when I mentioned something else to the party, the two knights took me indoors with the force of kicking down the door of the general store. Why: ....... A meat pie in the palm of your hand. The crust is crispy and buttery in the mouth, the gravy comes next. The pie crust is made of cubed meat, coarsely minced meat, chopped onions, red wine, and a gravy that is seasoned with lots of finely minced meat instead of gravy, and baked. This is the plain one, the one with cheese and the one with a half-boiled egg on top. The plain pie is good cold, but the other two are best served warm. "Beer, I want beer!" "No, I have to switch with Eagle." "Ohhhhhh!" Galahad is making a lot of noise as Camilla chides him. Drinking soda water with frozen berries instead of ice, I wonder if I would be like that if I knew what alcohol tasted like, but so far I have no idea, just the urge to eat. I put a knife into the pie with a half-boiled egg, and the yolk flows out of the dark brown cross section. I can pick up the rest of the pie with my hands, but the egg on the pie requires a plate and a knife. I wonder if there is some skill to make the egg half-boiled when baked together. Then I could put them in the pie. ....... Bahamut is a steak with salt and pepper only. He prefers simple seasonings, but he likes his jerky to be a bit peculiar. He is still a meat lover, but there is room for more research on his taste preferences. I''ll definitely have a drink at night!¡¡Galahad went to change places with Eagle. He also made me promise to show him my status when we are all here. Kal also switched places with Camilla. The voice on the other side of the screen can be heard, but ours cannot be heard. I have added an option to not hear the voices of the residents on the other side of the counter. Commercial guild, I''m going to make some money!¡¡Perhaps it''s because the Moss Guild leader''s stock has risen a little in my mind after he rejected my request for lobster, but I don''t feel uncomfortable when he is blatantly sucking money out of the hands of the gentiles. It''s good to see that attention to detail. "Did it go well, Faina?" Eagle asked as he advanced one pawn. "The Marquis of Lobster... But I did not expect the two who came to the Adventurers'' Guild to run away without returning." Marquis of Lobster and commercial guild target attack notice. We had thought that the Marquis of Lobster would stay in his domain, but he did not move from King''s Landing, leaving two holes in Faina. We thought that since he is a marquis, he would have a lot of cores in his possession, but it turns out that the guilds of the commercial guilds have more guild members than him. ....... The guilds had less cores than Cal had packed, too. "Oh, I heard that the vice-master of the Adventurers'' Guild was also in a cold sweat, no wonder. Camilla advances the knight. I''ll play Go with you, but I''m too weak to play chess or shogi.¡¡I''m sitting next to them as they begin to play chess, polishing the Bahamut in my lap and checking the skills on the list. There are some combat skills, but there are also merchant skills, territory management skills, and production skills. There are also a few forbidden skills, but I wonder if they are black lily''s. ....... "Rest assured, Homura-sama. Those two have been defeated. Eagle stands up quickly after a sudden third person''s voice makes him freeze for a moment, and Camilla pulls back her staff. A chess piece falls to the floor with a thud. Looking toward the voice, we see Ur-Lolo with one hand lightly pinching the skirt of her maid''s uniform and her head hanging down. In the other hand is a basket of vegetables, including asparagus and corn. "No, wait, what are you doing here?" "I''m here to watch over you and help you because you might cause trouble if I were alone. I''ve asked Master Dur for permission to leave, and my sister is in the field, so don''t worry." There''s no sign of her, you maid! Homura, do you know him? "My name is Ur-Lolo, please to meet you. This is Master Dru, where should I put it?" After bowing to Eagle and Camilla as well, he lifts the basket of vegetables to his chest with both hands, tilts his head and asks, "What do you want? He''s ready to stay! Kulurkan peeked anxiously through the cuff and froze when his eyes met those of a smiling Ur-Lolo. "Piggy!" The voice of Bahamut, who is in a good mood in his arms, echoes in the midst of everyone''s frozen state. 266 - - The Snake of the Dead Gokaku Buta Curry with pork cutlet. I thought it might ruin the balance of flavors in the curry, but the pork cutlet was thick!¡¡Contrary to the impression of the name, the meat is tender, so it is more chewy when it is too thick. And asparagus with sesame paste, Dulu''s asparagus was from a female plant. Female asparagus plants produce fewer shoots than male plants, so they plant male plants for better yield, but the shoots of female plants are thicker and tastier. But female sprouts are thicker and tastier. Asparagus that surpasses curry that turns all tastes into curry! "This is ......." The strongest knight stares at the asparagus and chokes up. "Delicious ......" A beautiful woman with moist eyes. "I''ve never wanted to eat vegetables instead of meat before." Sighing, the red-headed knight brings it to his mouth. "...... delicious." A cool knight who meditates and utters a single word. "......!" A dark-haired girl with wolf''s ears is enthusiastically stuffing her cheeks. "It''s delicious!" For some reason, Noel is calm. But his ears are twitching. Lapidus and Noel have grown up to be beautiful boys and girls, as if their skinny days were a lie. No wonder the Marquis of Lobster took notice of them. I wonder what Noel''s white one is?¡¡It must be a bad idea. But still, another dish that lost out to the vegetables. How far down the food route do I have to go!¡¡--Bahamut seems to have rejected the vegetables and is already returning to his bed, having eaten my roasted meat with relish and a full stomach. I don''t mind that it tastes so good. The knights offered to help me, and when I left the sesame seeds to them, they seemed to have broken a mortar and pestle. It was a natural result considering that Cal and Reno were serious about cracking eggs, even taking out their weapons. In the first place, Ruscha''s tool was an ordinary mortar because it was not available for loan. Sesame seeds were flying and injured, and it was quite chaotic. --And after the meal, there were cherries. In the real world, cherries are vulnerable to temperature changes and drought, and the time between harvesting and eating is short. They are unexpectedly rich in iron and are said to be good for anemia. When cherries are served, Ur-Lolo quietly prepares a piece of paper folded into a triangle in each person''s hand. What is it?¡¡A seed packet? "By the way, Lord, who''s this?" "Ah." Cal looks at Ur-Lolo, who has returned to the wall. "I don''t see any sign of that sister of yours. I thought I recognized her when I saw her before dinner, but before I know it, she''s gone from my mind. "It is a servant''s duty to make his master and guests as unaware of his presence as possible." He smiles thinly and lightly folds his knees. "I am Ur-Lolo, sister of Krulkan who is being fished out of there by the cherries. My foolish brother has mysteriously advised me not to serve tea to Homura-sama if I want to do well here. """Brother""" Galahad and the others look at Krulkan at the cuff. Kulkarnikan, who had been half out of the cuffs, quickly runs into the cuffs and peeks around with only his face peeking out. Tea."""" Then he looks at Cal, smiling in the spring sunshine. Galahad and the others are in sync with each other''s voices and movements. Lapidus and Noel are a little later, and they do the same thing, which makes me smile. Well, I couldn''t help but look at Kal when he was talking about tea. "...... Lord, may I ask what kind of relationship you are related to?" The smile Cal gives me hurts. "The man at this cuff is Krulkan, you know he is now my staff. Ur-Lolo over there, as he says, is Kulrukan''s sister and was the keeper of Dur''s fields, we only met at a banquet the other day." At any rate, the cuffs have been approved by Dru as off-limits, so I would like to think that Ur-Lolo will not be able to get in there. Oh, and Krulkan''s level went up a lot just now, though I think it''s back to normal now that the event is over. "The sister of the <>?" "And a thing that was subordinate to God? ......" "Who did you meet at the banquet? That''s the scary part. "I wonder if he was using [cognitive inhibition]?¡¡Homura, don''t hook me up with too many strange things, okay?" "Lord, the serpent lineage is known for its cunning and treachery. I suggest you release them into the wild before they become too attached to you. Cal smirked at me and recommended I abandon the snake! Krulkan pulls back and coils around me. I don''t doubt it, I don''t doubt it! "Indeed, we are lecherous and cunning creatures, tempted to betray those we love the more we love them. If someone stronger appears, we usually take his side. There is a difference between love and subservience. A bombshell was dropped before I could say I had no doubts. How can you make that statement after coming here to sell yourself, Ur-Lolo? "What is it about showing strength that makes them subservient to you?" It''s not my fault that I wanted subservience more than Kulurkan''s love. "Yes, there are easier ways to bind your heart. Yes, there is an easier way to bind the heart. The greater the pain the greater the pleasure, and the betrayer must not be weak. If we are strong, we are very obedient and good servants. "Excuse me, Cal, can you get this?" The pervert, the pervert is stuck on my arm. £¡£¡£¡£¡¡¡What''s with the SM siblings: £¡£¡£¡£¡¡¡I don''t even need subservience. £¡£¡£¡£¡£¡ Krulkan is easily pulled out by Kal. He tries to reach out to us with tears streaming down his face, but is rejected. "Hmm. It''s wrong of you, brother, to hide your true nature and wrap yourself around me. I won''t allow you to keep those comfortable arms wrapped around me all to yourself. Ur-Lolo looks very, very happy, though her expression is not very broken. You''re here to bully my brother, you maid? I feel a little sorry for Kulurkan, but no sympathy here! "What''s it like to be wrapped around ....... What kind of arm is that?" "This is what your arm looks like, right?" Camilla wrapped her arms, or rather her body, around my arms as Galahad, who seemed to be too tired to respond in time, said, "I''m sorry, I''m sorry, I''m sorry. Lapidus and Noel saw this and came up to me and hugged me from both sides. They are cute, but I can''t move! "Ku......!¡¡Ur-Lolo, do not disturb my brother!¡¡I am my master''s faithful servant, by all means!" He spoke in an unusually normal-sounding voice for a serpentine creature! "I cannot accept the idea of giving you a possible betrayal at your side." "I will not betray you!¡¡I will not betray you!¡¡Because I don''t think there is anyone who could do as much damage to me as my master!" Krulkan, hanging from the kal, boasts of his ehem.... What he is saying is something pathetic or strange. ....... "Homura, what did you do?¡¡That meteor you just saw?" "...... will remain silent." Mr. Homura? Homura? When I plead silence in response to Galahad''s question, Eagle and Camilla, smiling but not smiling, call my name. And I can''t escape! "I used [descent]." "It''s the skill to manifest God, isn''t it?" You remember people''s skills well, Eagle. "Wow. Who did you call?" "......" "I''m going to ask you a different question, how many did you summon?" "......" "Oh ......!¡¡You don''t mean all of them? £¡£¡£¡£¡" Galahad seemed to sense something in my silence as I responded to his precise and focused question. "Overkill would have been nice. ......" I answer without looking away. "You have a kind face and are relentless ......, that''s wonderful." Ur-Lolo is entranced with her cheeks tinted. "Don''t, don''t talk about me like I''m some kind of a douchebag!" Don''t get me involved in that side of the hobby! "My master!¡¡My master!¡¡Please help me!" Krulkan looks pathetic, not particularly fighting back against Kalu. No, I''m the one who got Cal to take it from me, remember?¡¡What''s the point of asking for help from the man himself?¡¡Is that what you want . Chaos. Galahad has a word. "Thank you for your patience. I''ll leave you now." Ur-Lolo suddenly makes a beautiful bow and announces that she is leaving. I look at him to see what the sudden change of heart is, and he returns the bow by lifting his skirt a little. If it weren''t for her strange personality, she would be the perfect maid. "The fallen but winged king of serpents, who brings blessing and destruction to the earth and soars with ease. I was surprised at how much he had changed, but now I understand why my brother was so much worse off than ever." Ur-Lolo''s words drew my attention. Ouch, that hurts! "You were always like this, weren''t you?" "I had the intention to, but Master Homura has destroyed all my brother''s confidence in me, and this is what has happened. Now that your question is cleared up, I will help you behind your back to apologize for the trouble I have caused you. "No, I don''t need any help ......" "I''m going to change my strategy to one of slowly making a place for myself." You haven''t given up! Well, I''ll be back. Have a nice day. Ur-Lolo disappears before I can say no. No, what was he going to help us with in the first place? "He may have his quirks, but he seems to be an excellent counterintelligence officer." Cal frowns slightly. I don''t need a spy. Where are you sending them? First we have to teach them how to recognize people, don''t we? Yeah, I wasn''t clear on who took out those two guys. "It was some kind of black thing," was the answer. Galahad and Cal argue. The two men in question must be the ones we met at the Adventurers'' Guild. "What''s that black ......?" Certainly an answer that suggests a lack of interest in people. I reluctantly allowed Krulkan to wrap his arms around me, since it was apparently my fault that this happened. I wonder what a confident Kulurkan was like. "Homura, let''s see your status now that you''ve calmed down, shall we?" Mr. Eagle, you''re calm. "I''m not calm at all." It''s only noon and I''m exhausted. 267 - - 265. Reselection It was almost too late to open for business in the afternoon, so we ended up publishing the status at night. I was also restless because I had visitors from a neighboring store and a commercial guild to thank me. I didn''t need to thank them because I was defending my own store. I spent the day just lounging around in my room and reading a lot of books that I had bought and left behind. I have a magic to clean up, but I''m not in the habit of eating snacks in bed, so I need to set up a chaise lounge or something. While I was lounging around, my industrious friends seemed to be working on some serious events here and there, and the occasional Clan conversation came in. Ochazuke: Hey Homura, did you destroy Faina? Peter: You didn''t destroy it, you suppressed it, right? Leo: Wahahahahaha! Homura: Neither is the other. Shin: I''m in King''s Landing and the sky in the south is turning into a big mess! Ochazuke: It''s a delicious hunt for the vicious aristocrats in King''s Landing. Leo: Guerrilla warfare!¡¡Invasion!¡¡Targeto! Homura: Translate for me in Leo. Shin: They''re all pretty spread out, so we''ll have to destroy them individually. We buy our hiding places from informants. Ochazuke: We found out they won''t come out of the palace even if we take out the Marquis, The residents who''ve been holding out are on the warpath. Peter: A lot of aristocrats were sneaking around with commercial guilds, It seems that the lobsters have been crushed and can''t act collectively. Ochazuke: It''s nice that they don''t bother the royal palace and the residents are grateful to them. But I think it''s time to move on. Homura: Is everyone together? Peter: I''m solo. w Assassination is delicious. Ochazuke: I''m with Shin and Leo and they are screaming. Leo: Wahahahaha! There are also other clans fighting each other, hunting pirates in Navai, hunting unfaithful men and women in Arsuna, and many other things. I wonder if Arsuna is a place where relationships are riveting. ...... The clan battles were mainly between Roy''s [Kronos] and Kuroyuri''s [Kuroyuri Hime] and other alliances. --I wonder if Roy''s place was in the range of the breath. I thought they were targeting Elias''s store, but maybe they were trying to kill two birds with one stone?¡¡Please don''t get me involved in this, it''s annoying. I check the list of skill stones that have come up on the list again, thinking about this. I see [Dance] or something like that, probably because I slaughtered a nobleman. ....... Starting from various appraisals such as [Boredom], [Aesthetics], [Tyranny], [Gastronomy], [Pressure], [Abuse of Privilege], [Sweet talk], [Are you going to get rich? The aristocrats and merchants are not very good at all, are they?¡¡Aside from escort skills, it seems that there were also assassins, such as [concealment], [stealthy footsteps], [disguise], and [poison]. ....... The production skills in the latter half of the list are from defeating the yellow dragon. There are also some combat skills in the list. The skills named after gods are [Val''s Mischief], [Asha''s Strength], [Lusha''s Anvil], and [Lusha''s Vein]. Other skills of tamers and spirit users that I have never seen before are also notable. There is no skill that I really want, or there are too many skills that I don''t know. Well, I''ll decide later. "This is ......" "It''s just a little bit more." When I disclosed the status, I was still absolutely mortified, but I hope you get used to it by now. I''ve decided to let it slide!¡¡They also say that they do not feel that they have acquired useful titles and skills because they have not fully grasped them. Relaxing on the third floor of the liquor store - although I think Galahad and his friends'' faces are drawn. And sometimes you can hear them trying to break into the general store and getting bounced out, which is the ease with which players can die and come back to life. There may be a lot of people on the event server right now who are in on the festivities, but they are basically prepared to fight among themselves or with the residents. Those who don''t like this kind of event, like Kikuhime, should not participate from the beginning and go about their daily lives as usual on the normal servers. Thanks to the various occupations, there is enough supply and demand among the players, so many players do not care about the likability of the residents. I hear that some players intentionally lower the likability of some quests that can only happen if the likability is lowered, though I don''t intend to be disliked by them. I don''t care if I''m collateral damage because the general store is next to the player''s store. The branch of the commercial guild on the corner seems to have a lot of attacks by thieves, but it seems that they are trying to sneak in not by brute force but by any other means, and when they are caught, they are thrown in jail. The jail is usually a penalty for being locked up, but on this server, it is possible to break out of the jail. Some idiot in the general store line was talking about storming the guard station and breaking clan members out of jail, and Eagle reported it quickly, so the jailbreak will probably fail tonight. I don''t know why he talked about it in the surrounding (open) conversation and not in the party conversation. "Lord, was it [meteor] that was used during the day?" "Yeah, Verus gave me that skill." "Too many things bear the name of God: ......" Eagle grunts, looking like he has a headache. "I think I''m about to complete the <>." I''d like to ...... to go ahead and explore the foodstuff route as well. I heard that Spider is in the empire, and we can start over now, so why don''t we go and have a look around? "What kind of profession is a black-and-white mage?" "I don''t know." I answer Galahad''s question. "......" "No, wait. No, no, wait! There was a pause and then a tsk tsk. "LAPIS is important for [heart''s eye]!" "I also value the [attack recovery and magical power] that the Lord gave me first." Lapidus and Noel seem to have started to conquer dungeons, and I noticed that their levels have increased, as well as the number of items in the warehouse of the general store. I wonder if I should increase the storage space in the private room. Thankfully, someone always seems to be with them, so I don''t have to worry about it. "Now that I''m at a higher level, I can choose again, but I can''t take [Sacred Magic] off the table anymore." "I don''t intend to remove [physical/effectiveness] either, but with so many things to choose from, it''s hard not to get caught up in them." "I can''t imagine not having [action chanting] either." They were all asking me what skills I would recommend. "No, the skills you need are the best, aren''t they?" Come to think of it, you can choose one of the skills I have. Could this conversation be about me being able to set my skills against the will of Galahad and the others? "Do you want to change anything Kal?" If it is such an event conversation, Cal, who has not declared himself, has something he wants in his new acquisitions. "Yes, I''ll change [Alchemy Magic] to [Meteor]." Wow!¡¡Here comes the fancy one: £¡£¡£¡£¡¡¡It looks better on you than it does on me!!!! "Wow, the old man''s taking the bad stuff!" "The housemates are all out of control ......" "If you join a harem, you get to choose another one. ......" Camilla sends me a s*xy stream of eyes and I do my best to pretend I don''t notice. I can''t be brave enough to create a harem, even if it''s in name only, when I have real friends! "There is nothing better than to be strengthened in the fight against the coming empire." Cal, with his arms crossed, casts a disturbing glance at Galahad and the others. "Hey!¡¡Don''t look at me, old man! "Yes, yes. I''ll stay in the labyrinth. Cal uses his harem to blast Galahad and his friends. Galahad is stunned, and Eagle responds smoothly, but you can see sweat on his forehead. I am also worried that he might be a bit "inclined". Black has gone to the island to escort Mistiff, and Bahamut is at rest. Will he be angry if I call out White when there is no battle planned?¡¡My tranquilizer is absent ......! "Let''s go level up in a healthy way." I suggest, without making eye contact, that after the event, I and Galahad should stay in the labyrinth to raise the level of Spartan. Night at the general store. I thought of quieting down the noisy noise with [warding], but Kal and the others stopped me. It was certainly a bad idea not to have sound information when the time came. The general store is now strong thanks to my << symbol>, Camilla''s [Tidings of Fire], and Cal''s [Base Defense] or some such skill. The "tidings of fire" was something that took a lot of time and money to draw a magic circle and prepare the items for use, but we used the two days allotted for preparation to put it on the living room floor. The third floor of the liquor store was too small, and they were just barely able to draw the intricate patterns. It was quite a scene that I witnessed when I returned home while he was painting, Galahad and Eagle were taking the sofa to and fro and scolding him for not stepping on the edges. Yes, I quietly put all the furniture in the storage room. The magic circle under the furniture is now a great feature: if you try to break into the house and put your hand on the wall, let alone on the door, the magic circle will burst into fire and attack your opponent, and if he gets past it, the magic circle will light up to let you know. The magic circle is activated from after the store closes until it opens. Cal invoked [Base Defense], but I was too scared to ask Galahad about the effect, because he was saying, "You can''t play that in a general store (here). I was afraid to ask him about the effect because Galahad was so surprised and said, "You can''t do that in a general store (here)." I guessed it was something powerful because he was using some kind of jewelry. The current general store is a place to come in if you can!¡¡It seems to be a kind of place." Overdefense......" and Eagle''s disheveled appearance was impressive. Tea, a book to read. Galahad and Eagle are looking at the four of them with dismay as they take turns brushing each other off. I wonder if it''s time to tell them that the gentile''s (my) haircut won''t be fixed unless I pay the shill. ...... I''ve been straightening my hair and it''s back to normal in 15 minutes, and I''m like "Why? I am amused by the "I''m not a good person" look on their faces, so I keep my mouth shut. As I look at the window displaying the amount of money in the lower right corner of the screen, I get an email. It is unusually from Yuni. 268 - - 266. Bulletin Board 15. Event part3 [End of the century]. -- abbreviated 769 Nobody Highlights are Kronos vs. Black Lily? 770 Mr. Nobody >>769 At first, he was actively recruiting Roy and his friends. When Roy and his friends'' Kronos got bigger It''s getting a little awkward, isn''t it? 771 Nobody Wence''s [Golden Hammer], who is good friends with Black Lily I''ve been following the victim for a while now. I hear it''s getting big [Kronos]. 772 Mr. Nobody >>771 Seriously? 773 Mr. Nobody Buying up all the production materials used, I don''t know what to think about the same thing you''re selling. or putting out a product at a low price that is not worth the original price. Monopolizing the place of extraction, etc. Black Lily''s place was also cooperating with it. The production board was in trouble for a while. 774 Nobody Elias''s [Atelier] was also being I know it looks like it, but I''m not sure if it''s from there. I see that you got through it by purchasing materials and so on. 775 Nobody >>774 I went to the trouble of putting a light armor store in front of you. In the end, even if you want to sell it cheaply, the first thing you have to do is to get the same level of The WWW cannot be produced. 776 Nobody I''d like to have other skills in other fields. Sounds like you''ve got a lot of people. I''m scared that there are more participants than I thought. 777 Nobody The event is long, and it''s just you and me. I was asked to get an item from a clan I know well. I know some of them joined in. Skills at the drop of a hat!¡¡I''ve seen a lot of people who are just trying to make a living. 778 Nobody Because the higher the rank of production I''m going to need materials from other producers. I can''t help it. It would be more efficient if you could make it yourself. 779 Mr. Nobody Oh, my friend. You''re bought and paid for, and you''re coming to die. Purposely killed to pass on skills. 780 Nobody >>779 What if I don''t get the skills I want? 781 Nobody >>780 Or people who have a lot of skills they want. I don''t have many skills. The people who have a high probability of getting the skills they are looking for I heard that you are invited. I mean, they''re recruiting on the message board. 782 Nobody Ugh. 783 Nobody Scary world!!!! 784 Nobody Players are too chaotic. N!?C''s are pretty much all they want to do, too. Isle vs. empire, I guess. Fagat looks like he''s in a naval battle against pirates. 785 Nobody Ah, a period of preparation, a period of notice. The decent participants in the big battles are around the corner. They''re starting to move out. 786 Mr. Nobody >>781 I''ve seen it. It''s turned into a human trafficking auction: £¡£¡£¡£¡ 787 Mr. Nobody >>786 What''s that? 788 Nobody >>787 smell of crime 789 Nobody >>787 Even the bearded ossern. If you have the right skill set, you can get a high price. I mean, it''s the highest-priced one on the web. 790 Nobody I''m on the decent recruiting board. Sadilas''s saint party. They''re looking for allies. I think I''ll go visit... 791 Nobody Oh! An authentic maiden! Participation,Participation This is definitely better than talking about old men!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 792 Nobody It''s ...... dainty. All right, let''s go! I''m not here for the saints! We''re going to a proper big battle! 793 Nobody 792 is on his way, full of ulterior motives. Run away, saint! 794 Nobody Who''s the saint? --Omitted. 949 Nobody It''s started! 950 Nobody Oh, wow!!! The event is live! £¡£¡£¡£¡£¡ 951 Nobody Yay! And a dragon! 952 Nobody The event opener is way too flashy!!!! Gold and black dragons: £¡£¡£¡£¡ Big black £¡£¡£¡£¡£¡£¡£¡ 953 Nobody Oh man... £¡£¡£¡£¡£¡£¡£¡ 954 Mr. Nobody Oh wow!!! £¿£¿£¿£¿ Cool £¡£¡£¡£¡ 955 Nobody Fast to Fagat''s. It flew away! Didn''t they circle over King''s Landing on the first day of preparation? The black dragon, Lord Lengard? 956 Nobody >>955 I wouldn''t want two of those things around. 957 Mr. Nobody >>956 I don''t like it, but I''m sure Mr. Lengard has a gold dragon, too. Are you keeping ......? 958 Nobody The golden one looks like a paltin to me. Trying to cross the Paltine Mountains. Memories of being extinguished as soon as I met him. 959 Nobody It was Faina: ...... Not only turning, but this time Two dam-like structures completed. 960 Nobody >>959 Dam. 961 Nobody >>959 Dumb? 962 Nobody The infamous Marquise de Lobster and the Marquise de Faina. Commercial Guild Headquarters has been submerged in the water. 963 Nobody Two dragons are too flashy. And two accompanying horses & two people. 964 Nobody But the damage is minimal. That shrimp guy, Lengard. Did he mess with them? 965 Nobody You let HouseQuest go to waste, you prawn! >>964 I think he''s been put to death because of all the things he''s done. I don''t think the dragon is ready for it yet. I want a horse that can fly! I''m also riding a white horse & a black horse, and the contrast between knight and warrior is awful. 966 Nobody The gold one had Mr. Lengard riding on it... ahhhh! I took a SS: £¡£¡£¡£¡£¡£¡ 967 Nobody You saw it? 968 Nobody [clairvoyant] skills: £¡£¡£¡£¡ I can''t see indoors and it''s a useless skill. I''m sorry for thinking that awww. 969 Nobody Oh! I like it. 970 Nobody Bow down to me if you want SS! That''s cool, by the way. Standing on the head of the golden dragon one. Fluffy robes, hair and cape. 971 Nobody fluffy 972 Nobody floating It was going pretty fast, so I thought there was a huge headwind. 973 Nobody Maybe there''s some sort of shield to protect the rider? At any rate, it''s not flapping around. It''s like fluttering in the wind! 974 Nobody Running into the Finer. I went to see it too, vertical jump max. 975 Nobody I love it!

It was a blue lined cloak. Sometimes called the Blue Knight. 566 Nobody And a blue knight is a knightly knight. The red warrior is wild with a black base. Master Lengard in his white robe.

Mr. Lengard , It''s long overkill. 548 Mr. Nobody Wow. I fixed the other stores that were hit. Come to think of it, I don''t remember fixing the arena either. The general store appears to be intact. 549 Nobody Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh. I spoke: £¡£¡£¡£¡£¡ I didn''t know she sounded like this. 550 Nobody Oh, man.

That was the property of the people involved. 889 Nobody Shocking to learn later. I wonder how they identified the collaborators. 890 Nobody Was it a broad skill return kind of thing? Or N!C-like, what is it? 891 Nobody I don''t want to make enemies anyway. I knew it. Let''s do our best to make it more likeable. 892 Nobody You''re in the middle of an event. I mean, the store is open as usual. 893 Nobody Temple transfers are restricted. <<>. I think there should be at least one person in the clan It''s hard if you don''t have someone who can use it. 894 Nobody >>892,893 Even the Adventurer''s Guild is open! -- to be continued 269 - - The Masks Yuni sent. I''m sorry to disturb you, but I heard that Homura has a store in Fast and I need you to hide one of the residents there. Homura sent. Hiding?¡¡Fine, but it''s a small place. And there are other people. I replied to him, but the general store (here) seems to be a bad place for many things: ....... It''s under attack by players right now. Oh well, we can take him to the clan house. I''ll talk to the others later, and if not, I''ll ask Misty and the others to hide when they come in and out of the house. UNI SUBMITTED Thank you very much. We''ll get a safe house for you in a hurry, so give us a few days. The house is between Albar and Valnor, and we are at Sadiras just beyond. I should be the one to take you there. ...... Homura Sent:. Please don''t do that, because I''m afraid I''ll get tangled up with Yuni''s followers. I''ll call you when I get to Albar. Maybe I''ll wear a mask that blocks recognition. I know that Yuni''s cronies who were playing other games with her have moved on. Or rather, they are the poor cronies who don''t know what''s inside of Yuni, who formed a clan called [Saint of Purity and Knight of the Zodiac] and waited for her because she missed buying a visor for her work. Unlike Kuroyuri''s place, they don''t cause obvious trouble to the people around them, but for now, I don''t want to get close to them. Yuni sent. Thank you. If you don''t mind, let me thank you after the event? I heard that the transfer gate of the temple is restricted and must meet certain conditions before it can be used, but I heard that a player who has a transfer is offering to transfer it for a high price. I was introduced to this service, but I can go there by myself. If you use <<>, you can transfer to someone who has Patoka, but don''t use it. I don''t want to be surrounded by believers or find myself in a bathroom when I transfer. In the meantime, I made a mask that has the effect of blocking recognition and ......, and found just the thing. When I experimented to see if it is possible to [grant replacement] for the grant that I put on the object made by others, I put [recognition inhibition] on it. The replacement was not possible. It seems that it is limited to the equipment and items that you made by yourself. "Homura?" "Why the nose glasses?" Camilla and Galahad look puzzled. If you get something you don''t need for oatmeal and have room to give it, this is what you get. "Lord, a mustache?" A puzzled Lapidus. And Noel, who is acting a little suspicious. "No, I''ve been summoned to Sadiras by a friend." When I tried to continue, Galahad and the others froze in place. "...... Homura, that''s the country where the prime minister is lying in state." Eagle tells us in a bewildered voice. The vizier who collapsed earlier with the same symptoms as the emperor of the empire, the wizard Merlin or Tamamo, is suspected to be involved. "Oh ......" Yuni, are you on the front lines of the Empire vs. She never shows it in the game, but she loves large-scale battles, doesn''t she? "So why the glasses?¡¡Is it ......?" "I can''t connect Sadilas with those glasses." Eagle and Galahad, who asked me in confusion. Is it because of the fact that they are all wearing the glasses in front of me or is it because of the difference in level? I guess it is the former, since Lapidus and Noel also know. "No, I was just trying to hide my true identity with a bit of cognitive inhibition." "Lord ......" The nose glasses were rejected by all. The alternative masks were made by Kuzunoha, who hastily applied the [recognition inhibition] to the masks. If the place is Sadiras, I went to the house to get the masks for Kal and Galahad, who wanted to go with me. "If this is all right. Let me comfort you with a piece of waste paper." Thank you. I''ll get some hinoki (Japanese cypress) from Fuso one of these days. Kuzunoha was originally the daughter of a Noh mask maker before she was possessed by Tamamo, and she seems to like making masks. I remember that when I took her out of the seal, she said she wanted to smell the cypress forest. Since there are no trees suitable for making Noh masks in the garden now, she makes masks by pasting together papers that were scribbled down during the copying process. As well as the hinoki, [carpentry] has improved a lot, and I think I should start making the Japanese house that you requested. "The masks I make always have a [recognition inhibition], so strong that in some cases it is even unclear whether they are human or non-human. You can choose whatever you like. ......" The lineup of masks presented to us by these people is more than Okame, Hyotoko, and Tengu....... No foxes?¡¡No, there are a lot of different patterns from white to black over there, aren''t there? "Fuso masks are quite unusual. The white and full face may represent the goddess of fertility. It''s a beloved face that brings good fortune, right? This one is bright red. Is he some kind of fire god or something?" Galahad, the tortoise''s counterpart would be a flapjack, no. You can''t have the glasses, but you can''t have the face!¡¡An accident is occurring in which Cal and Galahad put on the turtles and the tengu honestly. "Hey ......" You go this way. The fox mask being offered to me as I try to stop them both. Is that it, or are they harassing the guy? £¡£¡£¡£¡£¡ "I was in a hurry, but I''m sorry I had to pull the guy over." Fortunately, I''m surrounded by nice guys. For Kuzunoha, he''s a stranger, a man. I should be sorry. "No problem. I''ll have to get used to facing Tamamo ......, because I''m sure the fox is surrounded by men. But I still want to harass him when I see him." In the end, Kuzunoha produced a fox mask with a different pattern, but I was able to get them to agree on the fox mask by insisting in an embarrassing way that I wanted them to match the turtles and the tengu, which they unexpectedly liked. If you like them, you can take them with you," Kuzunoha said, and the turtle and the tengu were added to Kalu and Galahad''s belongings. ....... --If you see a knight wearing a strong turtle mask and a warrior with a tengu mask somewhere during the event, please pretend that you did not see them. It took some time, but I moved to Isle and rode to Albar from the fire gate of Alsuna, the capital city. The main equipment is the coat of the silver-winged wyvern, and the cavalryman is a white tiger, but many cavalrymen have tigers, so I''m not worried. The other Cal, who is not fine with tigers, is riding in the back. < I switch to party conversation because of the speed at which my voice flies. Galahad''s horseman tile is faster than the white tiger''s, so I sometimes stroke the white tiger to calm it down so that it does not run out of stamina. The tile sometimes adjusts its speed to keep the white tiger from going too fast and running out of stamina. They are the same tiger, but there seems to be a big difference in their levels. I have to improve my skills to catch up with Galahad! I am in a moment of bliss with Galahad''s tiles in my view while pretending to be a white tiger, wishing I could improve my judgment and player skills more, instead of just playing skillfully. I like the supple movements of the leaping feline, though I also like the joyful galloping of the canine. Oops, I have to go and do something. Homura transmitting. We''re already at Albar, what do you want to do? Yuni Sent. I''m going to Albar too. Please meet me outside the gate of the road leading to the capital. Homra transmits. Copy that. These are the three fox-masked men, and they''re wearing [disguise], so don''t look for me, just look for the fox masks. Yuni sent. Yes, this one stands out, so I''ll check Homura''s figure before I go. The night breeze is pleasant and we forget about the turn-of-the-century events in the forest. I have only been to the rich forests of the Isle and the rocky mountains to the north, but I have heard that the empire beyond the small countries has almost no trees apart from the forests where Merlin lives. There are veins of various kinds of ore, and the trees are used not only for the people''s livelihood but also for melting the ore, so that the skilled people plant more trees than they can consume. It is said that the land where Pertin has been showing up for many years has an unbalanced character, but this is not the only reason for the lack of blessings in the land, it is probably due to the greed of the people. > Cal''s words make me look at the closed gate. Under normal circumstances, wagons are not allowed to enter, but only people can pass through at night with the help of identification and skillful baggage inspection. And there is an accumulation of players who cannot enter the city. ....... <<>. << In response to Galahad''s words, Cal says in disgust. The reason why he does not show his disgust in spite of his dismay is that the residents can also come back to life during the event. And although the event is anything goes, the players do not seem to be attacking ordinary residents at will. The targets are residents of some rank or well-known names in quests, and while there are some who are unscrupulous, there are also players who hunt them, so that a delicate order is maintained between the residents and the gentiles. > Yunika knows that I hate political games, leadership fights, and other troublesome things. And Yuni-chan is good at quietly taking control of the situation without showing any such signs. So even if we are playing the same game, we are rarely together. We dismount at the gate and wait to be approached. The players'' outfits are as flashy and unusual as ever, so a fox face is not enough to make you stand out. "They''re kind of cool. "I like it. Is there a clan with event fox masks?" "It''s rare to see a party with only big male characters. It''s a feast for the eyes, since they''re all Loli-shota." "You are also the smallest cat-eared loli holy law." "If I''m going to use it myself, I want to do it in style." "I want that coat. I thought ...... would be less noticeable. 270 - - The Contents of the Basket Homura transmission. Yuni-chan, we''re at the gate, three fox-masked men. Yuni transmits. Yes, I see you. I''m on my way. The text messages that he sends to me, knowing that I am a man, are also polite. Because he is not playing the role of a woman for a price, but for himself in the game world. --For a gay man, everyday conversation is a fight to the death, kill or be killed! When I saw him trying out skincare in real life with a blank expression on his face, I wondered what I was going to do. Yuni is surrounded by four knights wearing white cloaks with crests, silver armor of different shapes but the same, and the same crests on their breast plates and shields. Yuni, who is two heads shorter than the others, looks even more slender. Her robe, with the same emblem as the knights, is tightened at the waist and down to her ankles, and is open only at the front, leaving her in a white mini-skirt and knee-highs. I really want to go home. "A saint?" "Four knights of the zodiac!" "Not from the Adventurers'' Guild, but someone who got an identity card from the temple?" "It''s cool to see a clan with unified equipment after all!" There''s a buzz all around. I admit it''s cool, but I don''t want to get involved. And Mr. Cloak, you don''t have to spread your wings so softly against us. The cloak is now fluttering in two in the middle, the same color as the coat. The cloak changes its shape dexterously according to the equipment. I wonder if it would be a long haori or a camp haori when dressed in kimono in Fuso. ....... "Thank you for coming." Yuni smiles at us. "It''s been a while." "Ah, it''s been a long time." One of the four, a Sagittarius knight, greets me. The twelve members of the clan, who have a strong voice in the clan, are assigned a star sign and have one of the twelve signs of the zodiac painted on their cuirasses or gloves, while the members who did not make the twelve have only a crest. This also seems to follow what was done in the previous game. Even if you do not do quests with Yuni, you will naturally get to know some of them after playing the same game several times. The Knight of Sagittarius is one of the few people who knows that Yuni and I are real friends. I also know that he was the one who was kind to me in my first netgame after all the trouble I went through. Well, I''m not lying since I was the one who taught Yuni-chan, who specialized in shooting and strategic simulations, to play R!G. <> <> <> Hey Mr. Cal, don''t do weird investigations in this situation!¡¡And Galahad, I can''t see your face, but I''m sure you''re grinning! "I''m sorry, I think ...... might not like the circumstances surrounding this one." Yuni whispered my name, probably remembering that we had gone out of our way to cover it up. I guess she was trying to be considerate, even though she was a little far from the gate, a distance that the players in the distance could not hear her unless she shouted loudly. "But I don''t think you''ll get caught in the middle of this, since no one around you will know who you are." As she says this, Yuni-chan looks at one of the knights who are waiting for her and a picnic basket is offered to me. "What?" Before I could reach for it, Galahad took it from beside me. "Take a look inside." Yunika-chan smiled at me and lifted the lid of the basket. When I looked inside, I saw a cat on a soft mattress. It was a white cat with blue-gray ears, tail, and paws, which glanced at me with dim eyes and immediately buried its face in its feet and meditated as if it was not interested. Meow! Four knights suddenly jerked up and sat down while looking at the cat, and Yuni-chan stepped back just a little. "Don''t be so geeky, old man!" "I''d appreciate it if you''d stop making trouble for the Lord." The fox face that is smiling and releasing a killing intent at an angle a little behind me and the fox face that is stopping it with a don''t-know-what. I don''t think I''ve ever seen such a reaction even at the lobster ....... Is it because I denied Yunika too strongly earlier?¡¡Usually I am the one who is intimidated by Yuni''s cronies, but this time it was the other way around. "What''s this all of a sudden?" "My Lord, that cat is the Prime Minister of Sadiras. I don''t know why it looks like that, but ....... But it would not be fair not to tell you. Yeah, he was sick with the same disease as the emperor. ....... I''m afraid that I''m caught in the middle of the Isle vs. Empire war, but what do you think, it''s during the event?¡¡If you don''t actively participate, it will be over before you can take part. I am sure that Kal and Galahad, as residents, cannot take into account the duration of the event or the deadline, so they must be worried about getting involved in the mess of the empire in earnest. "......!¡¡How did you know?¡¡This cat is indeed the Vizier of Sadiras, Master Alone, who had difficulty in breaking the curse of dying, so he stayed his life by replacing it with another curse." Galahad looks into the basket and frowns at Yuni''s words. I remember you knew him directly, do you recognize him?¡¡Oy!¡¡Another object I can''t mindlessly fluff! "That was shortsighted. A high-ranking priest had run the tests and found only that it was a cat, so he thought he could keep it hidden. I thought it would be less dangerous if I didn''t know." Yunika bows her head. The four knights are also quiet, as you''d expect from a girl who''s been brought here. Yuni and the knights are keeping the group in check and making it a well-behaved group, but there are a few rare occasions when they make Yuni apologize ......!¡¡The problem is that some of the cronies have an attitude of "I''m not a good person, I''m just a guy. Cal''s eye is the eye of violence. My [Eye of Verus] detects deception, concealment, and falsehood, but it doesn''t work on things that aren''t malicious or dangerous, though it is powerful for that. "Well, the cat offsets it." "You''re too soft on animals ......" Galahad gives me the eye. "We''re at war with the Empire, but Sadiras is a beautiful place. It has been destroyed here (...) especially the mosaics on the floor of the temple, made by the Gentiles with the blessing of God on the cobblestones." "Cobblestone ......" Blessed first of the genus God! "Is this gentile still in Sadiras?" "He has not been here, but I believe he is still staying here." In this case, this would be the event, not here on the isle. After the event, let''s go to Sadiras and see the mosaic. Well, we have your money. "I don''t want to ask you where the restaurant is. I''m not sure I''d be able to tell you if you asked me. ...... I''m not very good at reading maps." Yuni-chan has been quick to put in the setting of a directionless, clumsy girl, but I can pinpoint that store. "The general store is ironclad, and we admire that knight. As soon as the safe house is ready, we will contact you. Sagittarius, that knight is right next to me. And then I transition back to the grocery store. "Thank you for your company." He thanks Galahad and Kal as he removes his fox mask. "Oh!¡¡But still, I don''t know if I''m the right person to say this, but are you sure?¡¡You might get caught in the middle of a war." "Lord, I''m sorry for the trouble ......" "Well, I''m interested in Nue. I want to do something about Tamamo, and we''re going to have to fight anyway." During the event, the land can be cleared with Bahamut''s breath, but what about under normal conditions?¡¡There will be land and buildings that Galahad and his family will remember for a long time, and they will only be able to use this technique for a limited period of time. "Lord." Hmm?¡¡You''re awake." I go to the door leading to the living room of the liquor store where Noel peeks out and pats him as he hugs me. His hair is moist and silky and his ears are soft. You said you were coming home. Lapidus was waiting for you too. ......" Noel looks at Lapidus, who is on the sofa, breathing heavily and falling asleep. Noel looks a little sleepy, too. Eagle''s eyes meet Noel''s and he shrugs his shoulders, a gesture that suggests he was awake when I suggested he go back to sleep. "Thank you for waiting for me, I''ll take Lapidus to his room and Noel can get some rest now. He carries Lapis to bed and picks up Noel, who follows him, and puts her on the bed in the next room. "Good night." "Good night, Lord." He pats Noel on the forehead as he gets under the covers, says good night, and leaves the room. "So, I hear Homra likes dark hair, huh?" When I returned, I heard Galahad talking to Camilla. "Homra, welcome back!" Camilla greets me with a happy smile. "Oh, I''m home." I sat down on the sofa and Cal offered me a cup of tea. "Thanks, where''s the cat?" "There. The lid''s open, but it''s not moving. Galahad points to the basket with his eyes and tells us. "Maybe it''s because I''m sick." "Maybe it''s still having an effect on him." As he peeks into the basket, Camilla peeks out from next to him and tells him. It''s close, it''s close. "I heard you are the Prime Minister Alone. I wouldn''t believe it if it weren''t Lancelot who said it. The results are no different from those of an ordinary cat. Eagle says. "I wonder if the thoughts are cats, too?" "Well?" I pick him up, thinking that if his thoughts are also a cat, I can fluff him up. He gave me an annoyed look. I picked him up in my lap and stroked him, not caring about his subtle reaction. You should know the power of my fingers that have been used to pamper this little white girl! "Oh, my God, he''s clearing his throat." "The Lord seems to be happy, and I''m sure he''s a cat, whether he''s thinking or not." Hey Cal, stop saying subtle and disturbing things," the cat purred, as if I was not the only one who thought so. The vizier, Alone, is said to be a tall old man who is also a priest. He is said to be a member of the ancient royal family of Sadiras, with distinctive bluish-gray hair, which seems to be the color of the cat''s ears and paws. Thus, the cat came to the general store for a short while. 271 - - Its a Cat, isnt it? "Let me give you a quick rundown of the state of the empire. I was going to stay out of it as long as I could, but with the state of affairs, it''s good to know. Galahad says with a serious face, "I don''t care if it''s a small event, I can''t attend a big event. "First of all, the emperor has fallen ill. This is the work of a fox, and from what happened to Prime Minister Alone, I think it is more likely to be a curse than illness. From his words and actions, the wizard Merlin has fallen into the hands of the fox. There is a prince who should not exist, and this is like a mythical creature. The cat vizier cringes in my lap. "It seems that Prime Minister Alone was targeted first and foremost because, like the old man, he may know the identity of the prince, and because he is the one who knows how to seal up the creature, or at least hint at it. Homura knows this much, too, doesn''t he?¡¡I mean, the information about Spider originally came from Homura." "Oh." The eyes of a round cat looking up at you. Well, the roundness may be only because the pupils are dilated and the eyes are dark because of the dimmed light. When our eyes meet, the Prime Minister tilts his head slightly and narrows his eyes. "Mister Alone, you must stop using your on the Lord." I was thinking how cute it was when Cal stopped me. "Didn''t Kal look at the Prime Minister, too?" "It''s my duty as your bodyguard." He smiled and went through with it! "Yes!¡¡What if it bounces back, old man?¡¡I thought you said you had it contained." "Most of them can be prevented, it''s just that the Lord''s power is not up to par. Even if I accidentally see it again, I have made it a habit to drink every morning, so it won''t be a problem." "I''ve got a lot of tweaking to do. ......" The exchange between Galahad and Kalu made me let out a yelp. The vizier also wondered what was going on.¡¡I think he has a look on his face. I wonder if he re-selected [alchemy magic] to [meteor] and also re-selected [sealing the title of skill and law]. Cal has many secrets. I thought he said that he could not control when the title [Eye of Violence], a powerful title, would be activated, but now he seems to be controlling it by himself. "To go back to the story, the current empire is annexing small countries one after another under the false prince and with the knight Percival at the center. Originally, the empire''s vassal states were allowed autonomy, but now they seem to be making reckless demands such as supplying troops and food, which could make the country untenable. Eagle explains through the exchange between Cal and Galahad. "The target is the magical city of Isle. The reason why the small countries are still following the empire is because they are afraid of the empire, of course, but also because they think that the empire''s fighting style is to use maximum force to settle the conflict in a short period of time, and that if they can survive it, their country will benefit as well. "Most of the smaller countries don''t know that the knights of the empire are split in half." No, we have already informed the smaller nations. We should assume that the influence of the foxes has spread far and wide." Cal corrects Camilla''s words. I wonder why Galahad was hit by an iron claw while I was away from him for a moment. Because of his skills and magic, psychological tactics and strategies do not work as they are supposed to and are easily turned upside down. If you know the abilities of your opponent to some extent, you can probably deal with it, but it''s tricky when you are dealing with someone who is hiding a powerful skill. That''s it, isn''t it? That''s why Cal is seeing so much?¡¡It seems like he''s hiding some other ability. From the imperial side, I wonder if [meteor] is also unexpected.¡¡If it is used as magic, it is not necessary to use M! I''m not sure it would be as spectacular as mine, but what if I used it as a skill? Many people may be seduced by Tamamo into actions that they would not take in their natural temperament. We should defeat Tamamo and get rid of the influence of [inclination] first, but whether he is in the palace, in Merlin''s Tower, or in some other place. We have not been able to determine where they are. If we miss, there is a possibility that they will flee the country again before we can destroy them. First, ask if it''s possible to make it impossible for them to get in and out of the country by using a warding spell, and if so, have a small group of countries secure the area and put up wards to keep them safe. ....... "It seems like a lot of trouble, so why don''t we take out all the small countries, both those with and without the [inclination], and stake them out at the place where they will come back to life and have a water festival?" I thought about it a lot and it became troublesome. "Homura ......" "I don''t know how I came to so broad a conclusion: ......" "And the part that could be done is also like this: ......" As Eagle and Camilla say with somber expressions on their faces, Galahad, freed from the iron claw, adds a few words. Both players and residents have a time lag in resurrection, or rather a penalty time until they return to the event. They cannot return to the front as soon as they die. We should use this time to stand still until they are resurrected. --If the land is cleared, what will happen to temples and other resurrection points is a mystery. "Thus, each country should be defeated individually..." "I''m not sure if you can call it a "blowout" when it''s country-by-country." I tried to rephrase it, but was rebuffed. Eagle won''t go through with it. "We must make sure the foxes don''t escape before the fox hunt." And a man of mystery. "It will require the cooperation of not only the isle, but also of Sadiras." Cal and Galahad say. They are in perfect synch. "Is it warding magic for the isle?¡¡Does Sadiras have anything to do with sphinxes or anything like that?" "The royal family of Sadiras is an old lineage, and legend has it that the first generation was a priesthood that served the gods directly. Even today, the country is full of users of sacred magic, an indispensable weapon in the fight against the fox." "It''s a good bet that it''s also a sadiras that has a censer that holds a mythical creature." Galahad looks at the vizier on his knees. "What''s the point of having someone who seems to know what he''s talking about if he can''t talk?" He then turns his gaze back to me and shrugs his shoulders. Maybe it''s a big battle and you can''t defeat the sealed beast. ....... In that case, I''ll just show you a glimpse of it and continue with the main story!¡¡I''m getting a feeling. I can''t help thinking about how to respond to the game situation. "Well, that''s about it. I''m going to lose track of the details, so let''s go to bed. "That''s a pretty good time." "Homura, there''s something I need to tell you privately, since it might get complicated if people find out about it later." "What?" Just as the mood is right to call it quits, Camilla opens her mouth. "I think I have told you before that the user of sacred magic who works with Percival is my sister." "My sister ...... oh." Wait a minute, I remember. The woman next to Percival, a woman. Eimi, right? Yes, wasn''t she beautiful? "Oh, you know, you look like Camilla. She''s a little darker ...... and quieter though." I tried to rephrase, but I remember he didn''t make eye contact with me subtly. "Oh, you know, people say we don''t look alike." "Really?" For some reason, Camilla looks puzzled. She wears a lot of make-up, and she also wears a lot of eye-catching colors on her lipstick and eyes, but I think she looks like her without make-up. I''ve only seen her when she was ill. "I think you used to look like her." "She''s a beauty, you should be happy." Words of Eagle and Galahad. "If you stay with me, you might say some things, but don''t worry about it." Camilla winks and retreats to her room. What is it, apparently? I tried to bring him into the bedroom expecting the Prime Minister to sleep with him, but he stopped me with all his might. Unlike me, everyone who knows what a person looks like seems to be out of the question. I, who don''t know them, can only think of them as cats. During the event, there is no time limit for logging out, but it is more efficient to sleep properly at night, because if you don''t sleep or take a rest in this world, your ability will be deteriorated rapidly. I should just stay in the same place for a certain period of time without using my skills, but I have a bed and I''m going to sleep. Aroma of sesame seeds and spicy pungent smell. Spicy orange broth with brown meat, fried bean sprouts with a little crispy texture. I declared that I would never touch Ramen noodles, but I guess it''s okay to eat them by myself!¡¡So we had tantanmen for lunch. The morning was spent producing items for sale and listening to the movements of the Isle and the small countries during Cal''s break. The borders and names of the small countries on the map are now clear. I was impressed by Cal''s memory. "Oh my God, another smell that makes me sick to my stomach! "Galahad, you have a ...... stomach area." Camilla looks at Galahad''s girth with a penetrating gaze. Come to think of it, he has more girth than when we met ....... "You''re easy to gain muscle, but you''re also easy to gain weight, aren''t you? Eagle gives a sympathetic look. "It''s outrageous to be so flabby next to the Lord." "I''m still using my skills, going to the labyrinth, and moving a lot more than I did before I met Homura!" Galahad is panicking at Cal''s words. I wonder if he''s going to have to go on a diet from hell or something. "No, wait. I can''t get fat even if I''m using my skills! I''ve discovered something that I''d rather not hear. "People who gain weight easily, you know..." With the line, Camilla corrects her sitting posture and shows off her bonkers lines, which seems to mean that she is not fat, but she has them where they are attached. "Ah. Let''s collect the top." "Eat!" Camilla is a good eater for a woman, too, and she has a thick slice of pork ribs, battered with spices and fried to a crisp, topped with a heaping portion of what is called "excretory bone. Galahad quickly pulls the bowl toward him as he leans over to collect it. Lapidus and Noel have just sat down to eat. Noel''s portion has a little less meat and more vegetables. "Oh, shit!¡¡It''s so good! "This spicy meat is good on its own." "I like spicy food, too!" I''m glad you liked it. By the way, Cal and Eagle are very dexterous eaters despite their white clothes. Especially Cal, a man who eats with elegance, but you should be as bold as Galahad when it comes to noodles. He cleans Lapis''s childishly splashing clothes with "life magic" and looks at Noel, who eats slowly but neatly. For the Prime Minister, boiled chicken breast, broken into pieces, with boiled water, without seasonings. And a little milk separately. Since many cats get stomach problems from milk, I''ve been testing it with a spoonful since last night. I wonder if goat''s milk would work?¡¡Fortunately, the Prime Minister seems to be fine with cow''s milk, though it may be because it is from <>. "Like this, he''s totally treated like a cat. ......" "Maybe he''s not Prime Minister Alone, maybe he''s a cat after all." "It''s a regular cat. ...... It''s eating." They''ve stopped eating and are looking at me. 272 - - The Cat Recall While Undercover > He cleaves the enemy in front of him to the side and knocks him down. The sound of the enemy''s fall is heard, and a new enemy notices us, but before he can act, he is sunk without a sound by a black shadow. <> <> He is now invading the imperial territory while communicating with Peter in party conversation. Leo is also in the same area, but I lost him early, so I don''t know what he is doing, only hearing his voice. After half of the event days, the isle and the empire entered into a full-scale battle. It seemed that the player had opened the battle by suicide attack, but sooner or later the people around wanted to get into the battle as soon as possible, so he was not blamed for that for a long time. Before the big battle, clans that had never been heard of before were gathering information and were conspicuous in their leadership of the production clans, combat clans, and the assignment of individuals by job. However, once the war started, the players who stood out were those who were used to fighting in the strategy and arena, and those who were used to fighting against others. In the battles that I observed and participated in, Roy and the Flame Kings were unleashing their skills with flamboyance. Ochazuke, who is a healer, is participating in the large-scale battle, and Shin is there with Ochazuke. Some battles are fought by clans like [Retsubi] at the Flame King''s place, but basically, regardless of the clan, the shields are maintaining the front line, attackers are rampaging, and the healers are pushing the empire slowly from the rear by sending out recovery attacks. There are some clans that are cooperating with Isle, but in the end, most of the gentiles have entered the battle quickly. Naturally, the Isle has also sent out troops, but the participation of the residents is not yet in full swing. Galahad had said that they would wait and see how the Gentiles would do before leaving, so they were ready, but they were probably planning to join the battle in earnest after gathering information on how strong the Gentiles and the Empire were, respectively. After a while after the battle, the production workers are expected to play a major role in the supply and other tasks. There are already several supply stations and other places where they can replenish recovery medicines, rest, eat, and recover. The clan that was in charge before the battle is arranging these things. I thought that it is important to have people who can do backstage and administrative work, and I, who would stand out in any group, accepted Peter''s invitation to assassinate a key figure of the empire behind the frontal clash. It was a job - not exactly a job for the assassin''s guild - to gather information and assassinate a reclusive nobleman who seemed to have a core that would keep him out of battle. If a soldier deposits a knight and the knight deposits a king, the dead knight or soldier will not be resurrected if the king is defeated. Defeating the knight does not affect the king, but it takes longer to revive the soldier. The player will be resurrected, but his status will be reduced for a longer period of time. The information is passed to the clan that is working behind the scenes, and the clan receives the information of the person who might have the core and the treasure instead. I learned from participating in this event that there are players whose occupation is "thief". It seems that they are also distributing information on the person in question to players who are looking for skill stones, and the people behind the scenes are quite scary and I don''t want to make enemies with them. I thought it was a clan belonging to the Thieves'' Guild of Fast, but I was told that it belongs to the Temple. ....... I wonder if High Priestess Kyle or Lady Ekaterina is involved, it is too disturbing. I''m moving around the empire under the high alert, hiding in plain sight, because a light ball was shot up when I entered the city with . Peter''s didn''t get any response, so it seems that a full-fledged assassin or a secret agent can get past the surveillance. You have to go on your way while keeping your eyes on the guards, but there are also traps here and there that look like sensors. When a non-Emperor is caught in one of these traps, it explodes, makes a loud noise, or raises a ball of light, which is then detected by the enemies. It''s too much trouble to react to them and cut down the enemies that come out of the trap.¡¡While I was thinking about such disturbing thoughts, there was a loud explosion a short distance away. > And then I hear Leo''s voice. Oh, yeah. You fell for it, didn''t you?¡¡Well, if you fall for it, other people will think you''re falling for it or something. ....... There are a lot of other players who chose this guerrilla warfare approach instead of the big, flashy battles. Leo''s behavior made me think twice about taking this seriously, but it''s too much trouble! > I''m holding back because I''m afraid I''ll get a grudge if I clear the empire now that things are certainly heating up. I''m going to clear the land once and for all. ...... <> With Leo''s shout, flares and alarms go off one after another in the alley. Since then, I have experienced a tearful farewell as the Prime Minister was taken in by Yuni-chan, and in my desperation, I have been working hard with Peter in the assassination business. The Prime Minister was taken in as a cat without having his curse lifted. At the general store, he asked me if I wanted to leave him as a cat, but I thought it would be bad for him to stand out by turning him back into a person since I was hiding him.¡¡I remember that everyone stared at me for some reason when I answered in the usual way. Even Lapidus. The following is my recollection of my efforts to break the curse. "Isn''t it because I''m a cat? ......" "I totally thought it was because you were a cat." Eagle and Galahad looked very caught off guard by my words. "I thought cats were better." Lapidus nodded his head in agreement with Noel''s words. "......I remember that your friend asked you to hide him." At the end, Cal''s gaze swam unusually. "Wait a minute, you all thought I was leaving the cat alone to behave!" That''s because Black is on the island with his friends, and White would be scolded for calling him out of battle, and it would be a scam to think that the battle would be without experience after the event, and there are not enough fluffy ingredients! "Lord ....... If it''s okay with me." Noel gently offers his tail. "Lapidus too ......!¡¡......." Lapidus rushes to finish his bowl of noodles. "Homura, you''re saying what you''re thinking." "What!" Galahad''s words make me look around. "I knew you didn''t have enough fluff. ......" "Shall I call back the black?" Camilla and Cal say anxiously. "U......" Something that can''t be excused. The fact that Tamamo is already in the empire is almost a definite fact that is spreading around, and perhaps there is someone here besides Prime Minister Alone who knows about the << ùwùw> that Merlin or Tamamo tried to hide. Galahad and the others are of the opinion that if someone knew what else the Prime Minister knows, that is, if someone knew about the censer that holds the ùw, the Prime Minister would no longer be targeted, or the targets would be dispersed. So, in order to break the vizier''s curse, we prepare . The vizier on his knees, of course, listens to what is said, and when the water is held out in front of him, he stretches himself and begins to drink. Yuni-chan said that she switched the curse, but it would be a problem if the mortality curse comes back as soon as she changed from a cat to a human, but now she is in the middle of an event. It would be a problem if the curse of death comes back as soon as she turns from a cat to a person, but we are in the middle of an event now. The Prime Minister drinks water. --No change is seen. "Is <> not good enough? ......" Eagle raises an eyebrow. "That''s a pretty bad line." "Because that''s Homura''s fault, isn''t it?" I gave my honest opinion, and Galahad looked at me. "Even in the temple, you were wondering if you should be thankful for it. ......" "Normally," High Priest Kyle was unusually cryptic, "they would be placed in a consecrated vial and kept in their proper place." "With a name like that, it''s a bit confusing when it''s delivered in a barrel." I''ll pretend I didn''t hear Camilla and Eagle. "Lord, this could be the type of thing that has a specific way to break the spell." "Setup?" "Yes. It seems that the curse is basically just to change into an animal, but it can only be broken by one method that you set. Or princess kisses or something like that. "It''s pretty powerful, maybe we needed to equal his curse for the replacement. The trouble is that it''s often set up in such a way that . Camilla sighs. "So you''re saying I can''t ask you, Uni. ....... I don''t think we''re setting up to be so esoteric." So Galahad went first. He didn''t want to do it, but he was reluctant to do so after Kalu hit him with an iron claw. Next was Camilla, who told me to fix my mouth after the trial, and then she smoozed me. "Can''t we just have a regular kiss?" "After all, isn''t this kind of thing based on the assumption that you have deep feelings for the subject?" The Prime Minister looked disgusted but did not run away, so it seems that he wants to be a person again even if he has to endure the kiss. He is now washing his face vigorously with his paws, still in the form of a cat. "Maybe if he meets his wife and daughter again, he''ll get a shot at unraveling." "Prime Minister Alone is single, remember?" If I had imagined an emotional reunion, Camilla denied it. "Like an old love interest?¡¡I''m not the uptight Alone Vizier." Perhaps remembering the vizier''s usual demeanor and a woman close to him, Galahad, with his eyes still upward, quickly denies his own words to himself. "Well, I''m sure Yuni will take care of it, whether by leaving it with someone easy to disarm or whatever. Let''s leave it like this for now." We don''t want to accidentally unravel the spell here and then find out how to do it and not be able to unravel it after the event is over. "Lord, you look happy." "It''s all in your mind." I denied Lapidus'' words with a straight face, but the stares from those around me hurt. Yes, I know. I did my utmost to turn the Prime Minister from a cat back into a human! 273 - - The Voice I Hear Peter says this smilingly, and unlike Leo, he is a ninja who also works as an assassin. He wears matted black kimono as a base, and his hair is also changed to black with his skills. His mouth, which always smiles thinly, is hidden by a cloth, and only his white skin and greenish-blue eyes peeking out from between his hair stand out. The skill to change hair color is said to be a degraded version of the disguise skill, but if you are used to seeing blue hair, it gives a very different impression and makes her look like a different person. I remember that Shin, who originally had black hair, was sulking when he was told that he could only change his hair color to black instead of being caught by skills such as ¡¾Gazing¡¿. When I met Uni, I had a hard time finding something to wear with the coat, let alone pants. I had to find something to wear with the coat, but not with the trousers, because all I had were too bulky and fantasy-inspired. I thought about borrowing something from Kal or Eagle, but in the end I decided that <, although fitted, would not be so strange since it was high neck sleeveless and black, so I put it over the coat. Now he has changed the color of his coat to black and is wearing black pants, vest, white shirt, and skill gloves inside. His shoes are black leather shoes. In his pocket is a pocket watch with an Albert chain, and he has had a chain hole made in his vest. The good thing about this world is that there are materials as stretchable as jersey, ignoring the appearance of both cloth and leather. <>. We arrived at the area where the aristocrats lived, which was the target as Peter said. Leo was missing from the party, but it was hard to tell whether he had moved to another area or returned to death, since he was always laughing and screaming. I guess it was the former, since I didn''t receive any mail that he had returned to death. < <> I ask Peter, who explains it to me. < Unbreakable" means that you will not take heavy damage because of the lack of protection. It seems that the most popular ones are the ones that are hard to find in your profession and can compensate for your weakness. For example, ordinary [Recovery] often falls down, but since it is a basic item for recovery, main career workers do not bother to buy it, and low MID workers do not demand it since it heals only a tear of a sparrow. Even if they were sold, they would probably cost less than temple offerings. Of course, people would want more powerful skills, but the enemies that drop such skill stones are strong, and the price would go up even more. < He has a lot of skill stones because he sank two places in Juana as Peter predicted, and he has a lot of skill stones in his pocket because of the spectacular damage he did in the fast. <> <. I am the type of person who wants to collect all the different colors even if I know they have the same ability. Besides, once I have one, it will be in the picture book, so I want to fill it up if I can. Except for the items created by the player, the items available in this world from the beginning are on the white pages. The team arrives at the target house without any accident. Munching on lobster rolls in the dark, we discuss our sadness that there were no accidents along the way, but no good drops either. > Bread lightly buttered and baked to a crisp. The mayonnaise on the bread is sandwiched between the lobster claws, which are firm, plump, and tender. The meat is seasoned with lemon butter and spices. > Two people in black, and also in ninja costumes and coats, munching away in the dark. We''re going to sneak into the mansion now, so we''re going to have to go to the E! We''re going to infiltrate the house now, so we need to recover E! . <<< if you don''t mind soda water>> . < I say yes and offer you a Coke. Coca leaves are the raw material for cocaine. It was originally marketed as a headache remedy, and was criticized by the public for its narcotic (cocaine) content, but they succeeded in extracting the cocaine from the coca leaf, and it still retains its unique flavor. --I dare not mention the name of the product. At the time when Sherlock Holmes was writing, cocaine was legal and was treated as a luxury item, a little worse than cigarettes, and was recommended only if you felt a little sick or had a headache, so there must have been a very short period of time when this was the case. I sometimes want to drink cola, but I prefer drinks that are not sweet, so I drink ROSEROYAL iced tea. It is a refreshing tasting tea with a hint of strawberry sweetness mixed with the aroma of sparkling wine. And for dessert, banana chocolate crepe. . They are having a normal conversation, but I am looking at Peter in a ninja look and eating a crepe with a sweet smell in the air, which is quite surreal. Cloak evaluation result [I get the feeling that he is putting his own life on the shelf. Hand armor appraisal results [...... mmm] I think ...... suits and crepes would be great!¡¡I know I''m foxy, but still! The cloak is hanging down in front this time, like a scarf. Apparently, it''s okay if it''s tucked in?¡¡It''s all a bit of a mystery. Fast is early summer, but the empire is cool ....... The currents were cold on Soong. I crept quietly into the garden and looked around. Peter told me that in the garden of a nobleman, there are often tricks that are put in place during the night that will be revealed if you invoke your skills. However, it is difficult to separate these magical devices and wards from the activation of skills and magical devices for daily life, and the inside of the building is almost completely out of range. It is said that you should be on your guard because there are better equipments and talents in the isle where the research of magic tools is advanced and in the mansions of the nobles above. I wonder if I can''t transfer to the place with <<> after Peter sneaks in, since I don''t have that skill. The owner of this house is in charge of information gathering and manipulation, and I have a bad feeling about the inside of the house. Well, it can''t be helped, if we can get the assassin''s main skill or our own skill here, it seems that "If you get caught, your skill will disappear! The Guild of Assassins is a guild of assassins, so I heard that I can deviate from the guild''s rule. So, we successfully enter through the skylight. I didn''t expect to have to climb up the wall without any skills, but I had Peter, who climbed up first, let down the end of the grappling rope, so it was easy for me ....... As soon as I landed on the floor, there was an alarm and a shout. > <<< That''s ridiculous. But how could they have known?¡¡Maybe there are bigger fish in the sea than we thought, sorry>> "Wahahahaha ......" In the midst of our short conversation, laughter echoes from the garden. <> It seems that they are eager to find other intruders ( Leo ) and not us. Leo is a fishing specialist, and he has been assigned a skill structure and a skill set to fish near the top of the Narn Mountains, where wyverns are flying around, and to collect and mine on the way back to the island. The line gently crawls and checks the surroundings, as expected of a disturbance, the security of the key points is still intact. The person who followed Leo must have been either off-duty or not assigned to protect him. << Shall we go with a flourish? >> << Peter takes out a pocket watch from his pocket and I take out a pocket watch of the same design. <> > 274 - - The Unexpected Development The beast of the seal is brought forth. Two girls appear. A black frilly one-piece dress and headdress, her light blonde hair flowing. The girl''s smooth arms and legs, doll-like white face and blue eyes. The same two faces. <> > The girl A.L.I.C.E., on the other hand, holds out a silver dagger in each hand with a blank expression and a languid look in her eyes. Liddell, on the other hand, smiles a little and holds a test tube in her palm. > <>. It was returned lightly with a laugh. You''re not going to infect Liddell with English, are you? The sound of multiple footsteps with a metallic clang of footsteps approached us, perhaps due to the light that had appeared when the two appeared. <> at the target. As soon as the enemy appears from the corner of the corridor, Liddell throws a flask. It used to be a test tube, but the container seems to be different depending on the medicine or the number of subjects. << subject<>. ......Dead for Master? >> "What the hell? While I was listening to the enemy''s cries and watching our boy (Liddell) attack, I heard a disturbing whisper from A.L.I.C.E. Slender daggers were thrust into the enemy''s throat one after another. Half of them crumble to the corridor, and the rest stop, startled or alarmed. << Peter attacked in the same way, and the remaining enemies fell to the floor in no time. < It is said that the standard practice these days is for Peter to sprinkle abnormalities and for A.L.I.C.E. to instantly kill the victim. The number of abnormalities that can be specified increases with the level of skills, and the more difficult the specified condition is to be applied, the more effective the instant death will be. < . I think A.L.I.C.E. will soon have cat ears too, and I quietly think of Peter''s taste when he talks about guns. "There he is!" Over here! We moved through the building toward the head of the family''s room, striking blows to any enemies that came out. Ignoring those who did not die, I run. Naturally, they follow you, but you run without stopping. The master of the house seems to be in his office, in the southeast corner of the second floor, which is confirmed by the information and skills Peter has gathered. The two men smile wickedly at each other in front of the ornate door. And then the words are spun. . As the two Alice''s clasped their hands and foreheads together, the effect of the appeared, and when the hands sounded twelve o''clock - in this case, it might be zero - we saw it too. A black obelisk hides them. As the startled enemy stops to watch, white fingertips emerge from the jet-black stone, followed by the edge of a skirt and a slender knee. The beast of the seal, , reappears from the obelisk. "I will stop your time, too. With a smile and words spun from a small mouth, a mirrored lake of illusion appears at Alice''s feet, and the hallway brightly lit by candles and the battle stage with Alice at the bottom of the lake in the dark cave seem to double up, alternating in a mysterious state. Small animals made of water float on the surface of the water with a small sound. Rats, rabbits, turtles, flamingos, and so on. The turtles might be sea turtles. ...... was it Alice in the Land of Mirrors that came out?¡¡I read this book a long time ago, so my memory is a bit fuzzy. The number of rats is as usual high, and they increase their range of movement as the lake expands like water overflowing from a dish. The bandits!¡¡Gah!" On the way toward them, an enemy who had gone out of his way to trample the small water animal blew it up. The animals explode one after another in a chain of explosions, engulfing enemies who have stepped into the lake or whose feet are covered by the lake. > <> Illusion magic is a magic that becomes more powerful and effective the more enemies there are. I wonder how far this dark lake extends. It goes everywhere beyond the walls, but we are on the second floor. I wonder what it looks like from the garden. "d*mn you!¡¡Monsters!" <> I am puzzled, but Peter seems calm. As I look at the enemy through Alice, I am convinced that this is what a battle with Alice in large numbers would look like. After all, there were only two of us when we defeated Alice. Fearing an explosion, the magic bounces around the magic swordsman who has attacked Alice with magic. I think, though I don''t say it out loud, "This lake is good for bouncing magic so that it doesn''t land on the surface of the water. I remember doing the very same thing. No matter... ...... <> Peter, who seems to have thought the same thing, asks me, his voice subtle with a laugh that seems to end in a "wow". It was found out much later that if you gather all of them with the same attribute, they absorb and heal that attribute, and if you gather more than two thirds (????) of them with the same attribute, they nullify that attribute. Usually, it takes twelve people to make a . "Hmmm... ......" Alice laughs. It is a strange voice that is right in front of you, but you cannot tell where it is coming from, the lake or the darkness. It sounds like the tinkling of a bell, and before you know it, red and white rose petals are dancing in the air. <<>. M on the way! The amount of M! I can''t feel the effect because I haven''t lost any amount. . Peter smiles and looks toward the enemies approaching from either side of the corridor. While I was a little distracted by the fantastic scenery, one of the enemies got confused and slashed at my friend, one was poisoned, one was paralyzed, and it was pretty bad. <> < < Peter and I are giving orders. The order in which Alice listens to commands is the order in which you set them up, or the order in which the original Alice''s level is higher. If you really want to break the other Alice''s order, it is quicker to un-integrate her, but if you have a high liking for her, you may keep her integrated and suppress the other Alice. In the case of Peter and I, we did not set the order and A.L.I.C.E.''s level was higher than Peter''s, so Peter''s order has priority. However, the order that can be used in both cases is valid. I am not going to give orders because it would be too much trouble, but I was just spitting out a few lines to match Peter''s. < <> As he puts his hand on the door, he stops moving and listens to Peter''s words. It''s pretty egregious to play with <<<< sealed beasts>> and enemies>>. <> I look back and see no enemy in sight, just a bunch of frogs darting left and right, being chased around by water animals. "I wonder if they''re dissecting them or bottling them up." Alice murmurs in a whisper and tilts her head cutely. I open the door pretending not to have seen it, and Peter is in the mood to laugh without speaking. The first half of the dissection is definitely Peter''s A.L.I.C.E.!¡¡--The second half is Liddell: ....... I noticed that the Krulkan was bottled and displayed on a shelf with small jars of jelly beans and other things. ....... "Who the hell are you?" I answered without pause, and Peter laughed in my company. The most important one came to the desk guarded by two knights, but why are all three of them standing at the desk where they work? Well, it''s probably because the lake is encroaching on this room too. < As expected, Peter did not expect this meeting. But for now, that was just a bonus. The assassin, perhaps realizing that we have been detected, sits down with his weapon at the ready. It is correct to say that the assassin was a nervous-looking man with the air of a secretary, and he was pretending to be a civil servant and was mimicking the appearance of an assassin by keeping a low-profile position. Unfortunately, he was too suspicious when he was standing normally in the middle of the lake. One of the knights slashes at me with his sword, I catch him with my sword and repel him to the side. In the meantime, an assassin stepped in, but Peter intervened and took him on. The victory was short-lived. I should have brought a little less equipment. It''s much less than the equipment from the gods, and the cloak makes my stats drop dramatically, but if I think about it, the wyvern coat is also a cut above the other equipment on the market nowadays. Peter is in a good mood because he got the skill stone he was hoping for, and fortunately, the same skill stone dropped on my side. It seems to be better than the assassination stones I got when I destroyed two places in King''s Landing. I look down the hallway, thinking that if I drop any more equipment, it''s more likely that I can''t keep up with Peter. There is no one in the hallway. Peter seemed to be checking Alice''s movements during the battle. "Wahahaha!¡¡Tasukete ee ????!" And then a familiar voice from outside. Peter and I looked at each other and went to peek out the window to see a battle going on between Alice and Leo. <<> So you''re treating Alice as an enemy because she''s not in your party, I understand. <> Underneath Alice floating in the air, Leo is running away and the fallen figures are disappearing one after another, as if the time limit for reviving them has passed. The two of them stand side by side, staring in amazement at the unexpected scene of carnage and at Leo running away, half-crying. 275 - - 273. Resting I am unintentionally impressed. I can''t help but be impressed by this moment, though I can''t help but smell the unimpressive smell when I imagine how it all started here. << So you''re terrible when you''re not focused?¡¡I understand. Peter and I are leaning against the window to watch. It''s a little strange because this windowsill is also in Alice''s lake field. I guess Alice is playing with the door while guarding it. "Wa-ha-ha-ha!¡¡Ahhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" when you''ve dodged them all? As soon as he praised Leo, who had dodged all the attacks, he stumbled over an out-of-fight enemy and dove head first into the water, and the dive led to the promised rat. Peter shrugs next to me. <> Just as I put my hand on the window sill to see how far I could jump, I was stopped by a voice that sounded very unexpected. ...... <> Peter tells me with a nice smile, you''re relentless. < Before she can laugh, Peter gives Alice her orders. He seems to be very reluctant to have his bad behavior infected. I''d like to see a little bit of Peter the rude. ...... >. < > As I was saying welcome back to Alice, Leo joined the party. Apparently, Peter invited him to the party because they were in the same area. <<> <> Peter''s voice is a little shaky. > If it weren''t for Alice''s intervention, we would have been spinning all the way around. <> <> Me and Peter freeze. <> Both Leo''s behavior and that of the players who mix with Leo are a mystery to me. The fact that he mixed with Leo means he must have been an ally. ....... Next to him, Peter is silent, holding his eyebrows. <>I can almost see the speech balloon. < Peter, who seems to have blown it, says with a smile. During this event, you will not be charged with any crime even if you kill a player, and your guild card will not be marked. With their consent, they to the Clan House. "I''m home." "Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. "Welcome back, a**h*le!" Ochazuke and Shin were in the clan house, relaxing on the sofa. "It''s terrible," they said from the start. The board is in chaos. Ochazuke responds to Peter''s protests in a matter-of-fact manner. "Master, can I go with A.L.I.C.E. to see the poisonous plant garden?" Liddell looks up at me, tilting his head, shifting his weight on his heels and toes, swaying. In the transition, <> splits into two again. "Yeah, take this." A.L.I.C.E. is a misanthrope, preferring to be alone, but he is good friends with Liddell. She gives Liddell sweets for their visit to the poisonous plant garden. Poisonous plants, like wild vegetables, have a longer blooming season than in the real world, and some of them are not found in the real world. When I was shown the other day, there was a cluster of golden saffron under the tall grass with white flowers, and the pale pink color was lovely. I gave Liddell a tsuyaboshi kinkyokudama, a Japanese confectionery made of a sweet sugar liquid hardened with agar called kinkyokan, which is dried at room temperature for a while to recrystallize the sugar on the surface. The outside is crispy with sugar crystals and the inside is crispy with agar. It can be made in a variety of colors, and if it is well made, it looks beautiful like polished glass, a confectionery made with an emphasis on pretty for Liddell, who has a weak sense of taste. "If it were just a picture, it would be pretty with a flower and a little girl. It''s the owner''s fault." Ochazuke says terrible things as he watches the backs of the two girls fluttering out of the room. "A.L.I.C.E. sometimes serves tea here, but sometimes it''s laced with poison. Shin makes a disturbing confession over a beer. "Yes." Leo agrees. "That''s only for Shin and Leo." ""What?"" "I expect it''s because it''s too loud." The two are astonished by Peter''s answer, and Ochazuke probably guesses why. I''m sure A.L.I.C.E. will be relentless in their attempts to erase him when they get the chance. "Don''t die," he admonishes, "or you''ll be fine." "Is that okay?" Here''s an owner who doesn''t want to stop too much: ....... And so the meal begins. Today we had meatballs with black vinegar sauce, fried rice with egg, dumplings, fried spring rolls with shrimp and garlic fried water spinach. "Meatballs are so good!¡¡Give me a beer, beer!" Shin, a meat lover, started with meat first. "Aren''t the peppers big?¡¡I like it because it''s crunchy." Deep-fried minced pork dumplings with garlic and black vinegar sauce, only meatballs and green peppers, but as Peter said, the peppers are huge, yes. "I can''t serve big bell peppers in a grocery store. "Oh, you have children!" Hee-hee!¡¡Shin bites into a green pepper, perhaps to show off his maturity. I should clear up the misunderstanding or not, though it is the adult who is not allowed to eat green peppers. Fried rice is also good with fluffy eggs and black pepper. Can I have a beer, too? The eggs in Tamago Fried Rice are made by slicing pork belly into small pieces and frying them, so that the fat is well absorbed by the eggs and they become fluffy. The onion makes it sweeter, but this time the onion makes it less sweet (?). . "Gyoza, gyoza, gyoza!" Leo throws the dumplings into his mouth one after another as if he were drinking. The dumplings are crispy and crispy, and the folds of dumplings are thin enough to hold the juices inside, but not so thin that they get in the way. "Aaah!¡¡It''s hot!!!!" So be careful or you will end up like Leo. It''s freshly baked. "Speaking of which, Homura, be careful when you take Liddell. She knows you''re in the grocery store, so don''t bother if she sees you." Ochazuke says while taking a fried spring roll. "Oh, by the way. --I was wearing cloaking gear, so I''m safe, right?" "You were seen by because you started to call out in the house. I only use A.L.I.C.E. when I''m wearing concealment equipment. <, everyone wants something rare, and if you don''t have a taste for showing off, it''s reasonable to hide it. "The forum, that''s why they were so excited. Maybe it was because of the impression of Black Len-sama and Black Assassin-sama, but it was concluded that it is a girl who can be given to those who have mastered the art of assassination. "Yes, I think the man in the coat is also an assassin. Ha!¡¡Yum!" Shin supplements the oatmeal story and takes a sip of beer. This beer has a pleasantly crisp taste with a light bitterness, and I wonder how it would go with Chinese food, which tends to be oily. I can''t drink oolong tea, which has a fresh aroma and smells a little like golden osmanthus in the real world, but it is slightly bitter. The bitterness seems to drain the fat from my mouth, and I feel refreshed after drinking this tea without any bitterness left. "It seems that we have come to a conclusion in a completely different direction. "I hope I can correct that someday." Peter sips his beer with a smile that says he doesn''t think so at all. "And the battle between the knights of the Isle and the Empire is about to begin at dawn." Ochazuke''s words bring to mind the face of Kats...... Agravain, and the trouble is, it''s mainly forehead. He said that Gawain, the knight who is with the rabbit girl, persuaded him to join our side, but he was just a little bit surprised because he is a knight who has actually been an enemy of ours. Thinking about it calmly, the only familiar faces are those of Percival and Camilla''s sister. "I wonder if Akira-kun is on the other side of the empire?" "Not only Akira-kun, but also the players who want the magic skill stones of Aisle are on that side." I gave the name of Akira-kun that came to mind in the set, and the answer was unexpected. No, well, it doesn''t matter if a player is good or bad, some people like to play the worst. I wonder if there will be a strong knight?¡¡I''d love it if you have fist-fighting skills." Shin, who is already starting to get drunk, says cheerfully. "I don''t know.¡¡Most of the players hadn''t been to the Empire yet." "It seems that there are no bosses that the players haven''t reached yet, so the knights might not be too strong either. I am drinking oolong tea with Peter, who is not drunk, and me today, though he is emptying the same amount as Shin. "...... you''re not getting it!" Tamamo and ùw. "You don''t want to spoil it if it comes out, do you?" Peter took a stab at it. I''ve never seen it either, and if you say so, it might spoil the : ....... If we don''t encounter the white of the temple, it might be the first appearance of the in the progress of the strategy. Since they would have had to pass through the empire to cross over to the elven continent, unless they were lucky enough to get a flying cavalry beast, they would have bumped into it when trying to extend their range of action. "Ah." "What''s wrong?" Shin asked in response to my short voice. "I promised Bahamut that I would make him breathe my breath at the end, but I wonder if the players in the empire are safe..." "Bu!" Shin sprays his beer as hard as he can. "I don''t think you''re safe, by any stretch of the imagination. Ochazuke says with a look of disbelief on his face. "Wow, the end of the empire!" Then Peter smiles and says, "I''ll join you in Narn. "This event starts and ends with a bang, doesn''t it? The empire is dead. "Wahahaha!¡¡I''m all about the scuffles and the boldness and the flamboyance!!!!" 276 - - The War of War "If we''re going to send out Narn, we have to be careful not to reveal ourselves any more." With that, Peter went to buy a new forehead protector with a cloaking effect. Peter is able to make cloaking equipment by himself, though he does not use alchemy, and it is more effective than the one I made. In addition, he has changed his hair color to black and is using disguise skills. I am afraid that even if I am so careful, there is a possibility that the [eye], [sight], and [pupil] skills and titles will detect it - so I guess he combines not one but many of them. Thank goodness my <> offsets that. Oops, I should update the dummy information on my guild card. Hmm?¡¡I got an e-mail. Mine, too. Leo and Shin, who were completely finished with their beer, were left on the couch talking to Ochazuke when a text message arrived. The sender was Roy. Roy sends: Sorry for sending all at once!¡¡Call for materials! "As usual, this is how ....... I don''t know if I understand it or not." "I vote that he didn''t confirm it by speaking, because this email can be typed, but it can also be spoken. But I''m sure they''ll explain it to me in time." While we were talking about this and that, we received a call. Crow Sending: Excuse me for sending all at once. I have lost my stockpile due to the destruction of the clan house. Tomorrow will be the start of a full-scale imperial war with the participation of the residents, but we are short on recovery medicine. We are buying both materials and finished products, so please help us out. If you wish, we will accept payment after the event. The money earned during the event will be in the form of points, so if you are looking for pure money, you can pay after the event. Some players may choose to pay after the event because we are a trustworthy clan. "I see. Yellow Dragon is a victim of this." "I''ll be careful, I''ve got a general store full of materials and stuff." Fortunately, the general store was not damaged by the yellow dragon''s breath of the black lilies, but I was afraid of losing (or losing) materials for production. I''m afraid of losing (losing) materials for production. I''ll send some medicines and materials I got in large quantities from the trap dungeon to Roy and the others. "......" "What?" Ochazuke is looking at me with indescribable eyes when he notices me. "Homura''s place is full of N! "I feel like I''m just about at my house''s capacity." We''ll have to do something about the baths after the event. I think it would be practical to add another floor to the liquor store. "That clerk is producing like an idiot, isn''t he?" "Yes, I''m very diligent in my drug production." Noel finds himself in the production room. "N!?C starts producing when you give him materials that match his production level and his skill level goes up, you know?¡¡If you put money in the fight, it will go on quests and pick up materials and items on its own. The money is good, but the materials can be used for other things, so you have to be careful. Noel is producing because I keep plugging in the ingredients for the concoctions I use in production!¡¡I wonder if Galahad and the others would start if I put in production equipment for blacksmithing. And if they have enough money, they will go to the hardest dungeon or quest that the N!?C(tenants) can go to, unless they specify where they are going. ....... Oh no, maybe it''s my fault that Galahad and the others are being spartanized by Cal. ......! Let''s pretend we didn''t hear ....... "I think I''ll just go to Roy''s, or rather Claud''s, and deliver the medicine." "Oh, well, please do the same for me. I''ll send an email with cash pickup at a later date." "Yes, sir." After calling on Peter and receiving a large quantity of poison, we arrived at the hut. A hut is a dwelling built without foundation stones and with pillars buried in the ground. Players who brought materials and other things to the hut via a simultaneous mail are flocking to the hut. It is supposed to be a heartwarming scene that conveys the warm-heartedness of Roy and his friends, but in combination with the surrounding rubble, it gives the impression of a soup kitchen. As I recall, Roy and his clan''s clan house in Kronos was a very practical place, but it was quite stately and had an atmosphere that made outsiders feel a bit uncomfortable to enter. I guessed that it was just a temporary shed since it would be a loss if it was rebuilt during the event period, but I was puzzled by the gap between the two. "Oh, what''s wrong?" As I was looking at it, I was approached by Dawn, a fighter from Kronos. No, wait, Dawn? "Why do you have a tail?" A black tail crossed in front of me and I reflexively squeezed it and asked a question. I believe it was a human until the other day. "Don''t grab it out of the blue!" The tail is taken back. "I''m sorry, that was bad manners. Can I grab it?" You''re gonna ask me there?¡¡No." You''re a hard man to talk to. What?¡¡Are you here to deliver supplies, by any chance?" Dawn, too, has a box on her shoulder and is supporting it with one hand. The boxes are probably not enough to fit in the item pouches, but they fill up quickly if the items are scattered in number or type. "Yeah, but I was hesitating because of the crowd." "I see a line has formed while I was out, is that all the supplies you brought in? I''ll be back and you can go in with me--maybe the maples and maples will let you touch them." "It would be perverted to touch someone that age." "I''d think you were a pervert even if you were touching mine." As I walked to the hut, I saw many faces I didn''t know, and Roy and Shirayuri were talking to the people who came to the hut. Dawn is now a half-animal black panther who has evolved. < not in the labyrinth, but in a fist-fighting quest. The characteristics of the half-animal are the same as those of the beastman that evolved, that is, the abilities of the half-animal increase when it transforms into a beastman, but it can use all of its skills while transforming into a beastman. The beastman''s abilities are higher than those of the half-beastman, but the use of skills is much more restricted. The beastman has four ears. The human ear and the beast ear on top of the head. Unlike the beastmen, the beastmen can hide their beast features, and Dawn usually hides not only their ears but also their tails. However, the only problem is that the H! is less than 10%, she forgot to put them away after the battle. It has been a long time. Clau''s smile is as gentle as ever as he enters the room. I think it is my surroundings that make me think that a person who has a gentle smile without a backstage is precious. Kaede and Momiji are out. "Long time no see. I''m sorry you had a hard time this time. We greet each other lightly, and I give him some oatmeal and the things Peter left for me to finish what he asked me to do, and give him a message. "Okay, that''s for me." The ingredients for medicine and cooking tended to be in short supply. I wasn''t sure how much of the labyrinthine materials I should put out, but for the time being, I found a few fairy route materials on consignment after [Retsubi] started his battle and other players started to go there too. The rest of the items were purely for the quantity. Many of them are items that have been around since the very beginning, but they should not be a hindrance to the production of more effective items, for example, by using < made from <> as a material. The reason why I gave out materials instead of finished products is because there are many production workers in [Kronos], and since you have joined us, you can work! Wait a minute. On the way, Clough and Dawn go to the warehouse to empty their item pouches. Since Liddell has been growing the ingredients for the potion at , there is only a quantity of the initial ingredients. "I also have some materials for the trap dungeon, should I wait until after the event?" "That would be helpful." "Thank you, but depending on the amount, it may be difficult to pay in one lump sum. They both thank him, but it seems that Clough is the one who knows how much money the clan has. "Yeah, no problem. And this..." Tea, black beer, stewed pork belly, cabbage rolls, curry of mutton, fried eggplant and minced meat with miso, etc. "Oh, sake!¡¡You''re still cooking." Dawn''s stern face relaxes. "......, all of these are Lengard''s!" Clough is flustered. --I forgot to erase the name, or rather, I brought it at random as a half-hearted inventory clearance and completely forgot the name existed. "...... on the way. He says it''s a gift, no money. I don''t want to get in trouble, so please don''t tell them I brought it!" I smile and leave quickly before they can say anything, sweating inside. I don''t mind telling Krow and the others, but I''m afraid that they''ll find out too, because [Kronos] is a big clan. The day after I escaped. Dawn and Claud look at me as if they want to say something. Roy and Shirayuri don''t look at me like that, so they seem to have kept it completely secret. All the members of Kronos are made up of different types of golden-haired cavaliers, and they wear blue cloth with the clan''s emblem in white over their armor and robes. It is quite a spectacular sight, given the large number of people. "Yesterday, our clan received a meal from Mr. Lengard! "What!" "Handmade by Mr. White Wren with his name on the proof!¡¡It was delicious!" "I love it. Is it because I''m a victim of the Yellow Dragon?" "The resident who is leading this imperial battle, he seems to be a knight of the general store, so maybe that''s why." "I''ve been waiting in line for curry that was sold out at ......!¡¡I''m glad I walked into Kronos!" "I''d be happy to eat anything Mr. Lengard has to offer, but curry would be nice. I miss white rice!" I turned around and looked at them and heard their conversation. And from the other side, I also saw ......, and beyond the signs, I saw the Flame Kings on their black lions. The wrinkles between the Flame King''s eyebrows are very deep. Is it curry, or is it curry?¡¡Are you unhappy that the Flame King poured out his favorite curry on Kronos! . Ochazuke and Peter in party conversation . <<>. They are not all the same color, type, or equipment, and they are of different heights. Especially, the oatmeal on the black grill (lizard) seems to be buried. > <<< because the laughing Leo''s Alfa Romeo stands out too, doesn''t it? >> Leo''s bright red runaway raccoon is actually quite famous. Shin''s Takeda-kun, who is fidgeting, is the most comfortable cavalryman because he is a horse, but he looks uncomfortable. Peter and I, the white tiger and the black sky, are not unusual tigers. Those who admire their fur, you can say more. We are riding them to close the distance first, but after the fighting starts, they will be sent home. Some of the residents are riding horses that have been trained for battle, but the players have not yet reached that point. Today, they are going to fight against the empire as a kind of mercenary group, following the knights of the residents. They are now waiting for the signal and are staring at the empire. The knights on white and black horses stand out in the resident''s group. One looks like Cal, the other like Gawain, the rabbit girl. Galahad and the others looked around and saw Galahad on a black horse with flames on its legs, Eagle on a silver horse with bat-like wings, and Camilla on a golden griffin. Many of the resident knights were mounted on horseback, while most of the wizards were cats or wolves. Few people in the entire region, including the empire, ride flying cavalry. The reason why the rare riders of flying cavalry are imperial knights or former imperial knights may be due to the fact that the corresponding cavalry can be found on the elven continent after leaving the empire. "Prepare yourselves!¡¡This march will not stop until we have defeated the emperor!" I hear Cal''s voice. He raises his sword and flutters his blue-lined cloak, looking good from a distance. "Go! After a short, powerful drumbeat, the sword was lowered with another short command, and the battle began. 277 - - 275. During a Large-Scale The knights run, signaling by the sword that is lowered. Leo''s cavalryman, a red raccoon dog named Alfa Romeo, also starts running. > Ochazuke sees this and is puzzled. Knights are usually shield-bearers and have high defense. The plan was that the knights would start running, followed a beat later by the gentiles (players), and then by the squad composed of the sorcerers of the isle. In fact, the players are watching motionless as the knights run down the hill from the neighboring camp, spreading out and heading towards the enemy. The rust-colored earth, the soil between the small countries and the empire has long been the path of the golden dragon Paltin, so the soil is rich in iron, and the iron present in the fine sand has oxidized and rusted over the years, giving it a red appearance. The territory of the empire is vast, but half of it is covered with this weathered, low-fertility, hard, water-passable soil. The Empire wants to expand its territory because it can no longer feed its own people on its own land, though this may be partly due to the influence of the "tipping point. The knights of the two camps, facing each other across the waterless river, run down the hill from a bad foothold. Among them, Alfa Romeo stands out by a landslide. . Peter and I are both interrupted by Shin''s words as he squints at Leo in the distance. The Alfa Romeo quickly reached the Imperial Guard and plowed straight into them. The Imperial Guard cracked open, giving way, and I could see some Imperial knights leaping up. "One horseman?" "<>" "Wow, yeah, yeah!" There''s a buzz all around. > < He answered Ochazuke''s question, knowing that Ochazuke was the one who definitely could not stop. The Imperial soldiers who were blown up by the Alfa Romeo may have lost some HP, but that is not enough to cripple them in battle. I hope not. "Spirit of the wind, Hearn. Please, my wish is for the protection of the wind. A gentle breeze envelops the area as if the voice of Kaede, the bowman of Kronos, is heard. "I can deflect most of the projectiles from normal attacks. "I can''t do magic or skills, so be careful!" It seems that while [Kronos] was doing his magic, he was also casting a spirit spell on us. "Thank you!" "Thank you." > "Thank God!" He thanks each of them and starts to move. Shin seems to have forgotten to switch between the party conversation and the conversation heard around him. The White Tiger and the Black Tiger run side by side, with Shin''s Takeda a little behind. The horse-shaped cavalrymen are slower than the tiger cavalrymen, but they are more stable and strong. Ochazuke''s Kuroyaki is surprisingly agile, but not good at long distances while maintaining his speed. As we approach, we see Percival and Akira''s group in the front row of the empire. Percival rides a white horse with a reddish-burning crest. It may be of the same family as Galahad''s cavalry, but it flies without wings. Next to him is Camilla''s sister, Aimee, or was it Aimee, on a white griffin. The white griffin was also hidden from view by the knights who had reached the hill after descending it. > <. Peter, who was apparently also watching, curiously remarked, to which Ochazuke replied. --<> <> I''d be with Galahad and the others all the time if I didn''t have to worry about transportation - no, I''d still like to get one. <> I agree with what Shin says. And it''s also a charming fluffy one, and we are currently looking for a flying fluffy one. Peter has a few words to say about what everyone is thinking. There are many flashy effect lights ahead. Especially around Percival''s place, that''s the sword of absolution. There''s only one person I can think of who can use the Sword of Absolution skill and is related to Percival. Galahad, it is effective in a pinch or when things get exciting ......, or maybe because the enemy is the most crowded right now. The players, or even the residents, who saw the "Great Sword of Sin," shouted out and the groaning spread. It''s a pity that I missed seeing it from the side. Is Percival going to have a confrontation with it?¡¡We will see about that after this event. I''m going to send the white tiger back here, even though it is a pet that can be revived after losing a battle, I''m not going to go into it dead or alive like Leo. I''m careful not to get trampled by my cavalry allies - but then I''m captured by the Flame King. "You, haven''t you changed the class of your beastie yet?" Not yet. Most of you haven''t, have you?" He is currently on top of the Flame King''s black lion. I''d like to lean over, but I''ve been pulled up behind the Flame King, on the rump side of the beast. The lion''s short fur is rough, though not badly groomed. "He''s so far ahead of us, I thought he''d be dead by now!" The Flame King does not stop his progress while exchanging conversation, and exchanges swords with an enemy knight he encounters. "I came here with the intention of doing a simple job of unleashing magic from a safe distance!" Give it up. "Oh my God!" The Flame King cutting my hopes short and Krull laughing as he draws his bow toward the enemy. Krull''s cavalry beast has an oatmeal on it, and he looks like he did when Leo got involved in some kind of trouble. He seems to be Dona Dona''s friend. "We wanted to get half of the clan to switch classes so we could fight with the cavalry before the big battle, but only the six of us made it in time! Roy entered the conversation. "I''m sorry, I''m sorry! Behind him, Gilweitzer is finishing off the enemy who was just dodging swords with the Flame King by striking him with his fist. Gilweitzer''s fist is covered with a huge fist effect like a demon king''s hand, and he is striking down the enemy while riding on his cavalry. He is being taken further and further behind the enemy lines! "I''m sorry. The Flame King is so pushy. ......" Put on the grant, apologetically Haruna apologizes. Usually the flame kings apologize for your outbursts. ....... "Wizards are weak on mobility, so think of it as getting a leg up!" "I will protect you!" Koretto and the reliable earth that comes to worship me with one hand. I see. Think of it as a mobile turret. I was going to spend my time not moving around so much like a wizard (????), but now that I''m being carried by a mounted beast with an escort, I''ll be able to ....... Thinking ....... <<> Me asking for help in a party conversation . . Ochazuke and Shin. <> That''s great Peter! > While scattering a around him, which has the effect of impeding his movement, he notices that he can no longer hear Leo''s screams amidst the noise and listens. . Peter doesn''t seem to mind. > Ochazuke dexterously checks the state of the party. I am not good at being distracted by windows even if they are translucent, but Ochazuke, on the contrary, needs to be able to see various information, he says. <> It seems that Singh was quite close by, too, and is doing combos with my restrained infantry. I think he was running after me. > With these words, he activates his fire skill and strikes down the enemy. It''s quite cool when he does a powerful combo with his large body. "[Grant defense] , I will." From somewhere comes the voice of Shirayuri. "I am a druid. I wish to be bound by thorns. Clough''s voice is heard, and a briar sprouts from the ground a short distance away. The effect of arrows raining down on it, probably the skill of Kaede, the bowman of [Kronos]. It seems that she is attacking for recovery. Not only our allies, but of course the enemy''s attacks are coming too. Enemies are gathering to eliminate us from the camp. It''s a complete melee, so we don''t fight the same opponents until we defeat them, and people keep changing. Behind the knights, there are many long-range workers, and magic and arrows are flying at us, but as promised, the earth is protecting us. It is amazing that all the clan members are keeping up with the Flame King, who moves around so much. "[Fire] <" Camilla used to use it in the labyrinth. It has a combustion effect and the combustion is transferred when it touches a burning person, so it is useful when enemies are crowded together. Well, the most convenient one in this situation is [thunder]. It is not good that the enemy who was about to be defeated recovers and the HP reduction goes back to the beginning. I''ll go for a recovery-ish one too. There is a guy who recovers all his HP when he thought he was hit by an arrow, so it seems that robes and staffs are not the only healers. But since I can''t tell the difference between them, I try to wrap the robes and staffs as landmarks, and try to get other enemies I feel suspicious about into the range of the . "How can M! I don''t lose it." I was caught flat-footed and fired a series of shots at random, and the Flame King ran into me. Let''s do something that looks like a recovery action: ....... 278 - - 276. Start of the Last Day <<> << Peter''s conversation with Ochazuke. N!?C''s ability may be high, but he has a pattern in his fighting style, showing the same moves in response to our attacks. Therefore, aside from such as Percival, they were easy to deal with for their level and numbers of Imperial soldiers. The Flame Kings must have anticipated this and dared to charge into the enemy lines. > Shin looks happy as he dodges attacks against a large number of people, even if just barely, and his combos are as successful as he would like them to be. > Durga is the name of the Flame King''s black lion. It is the name of the lion-riding god of war, but if I''m not mistaken, I think it is a goddess. He has a nice bow on his head. > Peter is invisible, but there is a hint of a black smile on his face. A while ago, Durga, the Fire King, who was riding with me, was hit by a long-range attack from somewhere and returned home unable to fight. When he saw the enemy who had attacked him, he was about to be killed by Gilweitzer and Krull. It seems that he made his last attack on the Flame King of the same clan, not on the two in front of him, who were fighting against the other side and were defending themselves, knowing that they could not win the battle. He seems to have been noticed by the player, as he was a bit conspicuous. The earth and the flame king are moving as promised to keep the enemies away from us. Inside the guard are the wizard Haruna and I, and the sorcerers Ochazuke and Koreto. Shin and Gilweitzer are moving back and forth out of the guard. Krull is still riding around on his horse and beast. The Flame King wields his greatsword, which is covered with fire. The flames on the sword sometimes swell and burn as if with intent. The Flame King uses fire magic, but it is quite powerful because it is made by the spirits of fire. Ochazuke says, looking sideways at Haruna. Haruna is a non-moving type of wizard. She opens multiple windows around her, selects a spell, and releases the spell. She seems to combine several fast-acting spells to increase the power of her spells, instead of doing them in a single, rapid motion like I do. In between attacks, he also casts enchantments and performs many moves. The way he manipulates the window with his fingers is as if he were playing a piano or some other musical instrument. The number of windows and the length of each window are increased from what we saw in the competition, which makes it look even more so. < I can''t fight by manipulating windows like Haruna, and I''m not good at fighting in a way that boosts the overall capabilities of the party, like Kurau. Should I at least think of a spell like Klaue''s?¡¡I think it''s cool to see people use it, but I''m not comfortable casting it myself. The members of both [Retsubi] and [Kronos] have more skills and are stronger than when I saw them in battle before. "I am glad to have two recovery people. Ochazuke-san is very good. The attackers move around a lot, don''t they?" "You all seem to be very consistent, so it''s easy to work with you. Is it strange that I hear her smile as she replies in a slightly reserved manner, "It''s easier to read your movements than someone else''s, who is doing something unexpected when you take your eyes off them for a moment, so it''s easier to work with. "Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo £¡£¡£¡£¡¡¡I found it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!¡¡But if you stop, you die!!!!" Perhaps it was because I was thinking of this, but the earth-shaking sound and the familiar voice echoed, and then they became distant again. "Something red just crossed the road, splashing the enemy! It''s just my imagination." Ochazuke and I responded in unison to Daichi, who held up his shield to block the enemy''s attack. Alfa Romeo is allegedly out of control. The last day of the event went without a single loss of life. It was not a miracle that they did not die, but because they left the battlefield with as soon as the number of players increased. Leo is another story. Homura: It seems like the number of players is increasing. Shin: Maybe it''s because it''s the last day of the tournament. Ochazuke: For all intents and purposes, it''s because you gave a warning of Bahamut at the end! Leo: Wahahahaha!¡¡Don''t get fancy! Homura: There are a lot of them on the enemy side, what kind of mindset are you in?¡¡Even though it hurts. Peter: I think you want to see how much you can take, don''t you? Homura: I''m not sure I can withstand Bahamut''s breath for even 0.01 seconds! Ochazuke: Hey, owner, get a grip! It was Ochazuke and Peter who posted the warning. They put it on the message board as a rumor among the residents. Homura: Thanks for the warning anyway. Ochazuke: You''re the one who gave us the . Peter: Don''t thank me, but don''t mug me in that outfit. Today, I''ll be working in my sacred equipment, with Bahamut on my shoulder, floating between Kal and Galahad. I want a fluffy cavalry beast to fly in the sky as soon as possible, though it would be best if a white tiger could fly. But the best thing is to make the white tiger fly. With [Float], the white tiger can float only about 20 centimeters even if it tries its best, so in order to be seen by the flying beast, [Aerial Movement] and [Aerial Action] must be constantly activated. So I am worried about my EP for the long journey, but Peter has nailed me not to eat with this outfit on. Here I am, not wanting to use < too often because it is genuinely tasteless. The biggest effect is the slow decrease in EP - it makes you feel fuller, but of course it is also effective as a portable preservative food. But I don''t want to fill my stomach with bad food. I offer myself to the Lord, my allegiance! The shield of the ice wedge! I was thinking about something else when suddenly a number of wedges of ice poked out of the ground, creating a wall. Then a huge knight on horseback came charging at me, lance at the ready. "Oh, shit!¡¡Oh, Percival!¡¡I guess this is payback for the opening [great sword of absolution] in the first battle!" Galahad''s shout makes me realize that this giant knight is Percival''s skill. The ice wedges blocked it from reaching our camp, but it would have been a catastrophe if it had been hit as it was. Percival had thought that Galahad had finished him off with his "great sword of absolution," but he was wrong. "Oh my God, he got the shield skill too! Something surprised Gawain, a knight at the rabbit girl''s place. The rabbit girl and her party members are there, too, but I''m not so popular that I don''t go through with them, and greet Gawain alone. He may have a strong sense of justice, but he doesn''t listen to others or doesn''t understand that there is more than one justice. I am sure that people who share the same values of justice can rely on me, but I don''t match with them. I was saved by the fact that other players covered the mouths of the rabbit girl and her friends and retrieved them before Kal and Galahad, sensing my heart, made their move. Thank you, stranger! The tip of the lance makes a high sound as it hits the ice, and the feet of the horse on which the knight of illusion rides scratch in the air. The sound fades away, and so does the illusion. All that remains are a series of nearly transparent wedges of ice. "Receive the judgment of Verus, the hidden god of light!¡¡[Arrow of absolution]!" In return, Camilla unleashes her skills. The opening exchanges are a big one. Some of the enemy players used their shield skills through the ice wedge, but the effect of their shields seemed to pierce through their shields, causing a lot of damage. I had never seen the [Arrow of Absolution] before, but arrows of golden light rained down in torrents, inflicting heavy damage on those who were pierced by them, while those who were unable to withstand the arrows and were disabled became pillars of salt. The effects of the large amount of recovery magic that occurs in the enemy camp glows faintly through the ice. "When the ice wedge disappears, let''s all go at once! "Oh!" Cal''s words were met with a rush of voices from behind me, and I froze for a moment, startled. The Prince of the Isle is supposed to be there too, but why is Cal in command?¡¡I have a feeling they would tell me if I asked, but I am afraid to ask. While the voices are spreading, the isle''s holy priests and wizards are sending grants and enchantments to us. The bards sing battle songs in high spirits, and when someone strikes the ground with the hilt of his spear to the rhythm, the foot soldiers stomp their feet with such force that the earth rumbles. It''s all happening behind me, but I''m too dumb to look back, so I shut up and look forward, and the ice wedge cracks. "Oh, my God. ......" I was about to point and say that a crack had formed when all the knights behind me started running at once, plunging into the wall of the ice wedge with white streaks running and cracks growing. The wall of ice cracked spectacularly upon impact, and the knights poured out of the ice wedge toward the enemy line. Cal is smiling next to Galahad, who looks stunned. I freeze, pointing in surprise. Peter: Homra is going to take command? Homura: Yie! Ochazuke: No matter how you look at it, it looked like Homura pointed at the enemy camp and GO! Shin: Yay! £¡£¡£¡£¡¡¡A fancy opener, baby! Leo: Let''s go! 279 - - The End of World War II "Make way for the Lord!" The sword that Kal raised above his head is thinly lit. No, wait! I don''t know what to do! "Let those who stand in the way vanish in the light of Verus!¡¡Flow [meteor]!" Several strong lights flicker on the thinly glowing sword, and the lights are connected to each other with something like lightning. With the last word, the sword swung down, and the lights left the sword, and stars streamed down from the heavens to follow them. In a melee, the large movements of the sword would create an opening, so it would be best to use it now while the enemy is still at a distance. I used it as magic, but Cal seems to have used [meteor] as a sword skill. Stars are falling over the knights who are closing in on the enemy position. It is a beautiful sight from a distance, but the victim of the attack may not be able to say so. It is a picture when a perfect knight uses it. White and blue, gold-toned equipment, blond hair, white-colored and handsome. The color of his eyes reflects the blue of the lake, which changes its color depending on the weather and his emotion, usually a light calm light blue, but now they are blue. His face is distorted in pain. "Geez! Galahad''s voice comes out impatiently. "Don''t do anything rash!" Galahad is worried. But then I see Cal take a mouthful of the . It tastes bad, I know. If you use an ice shield, a meteor, and a big move in a row, you will lose E! I guess it will be gone. It''s a good thing that it''s odorless, but it tastes bitter, or stinky, or bitter ......, or just plain bad. I wonder whether it is kindness to take away Galahad''s worries or to keep quiet. "I''m off before things get ugly, after you!" Eagle''s mount swings its silver wings and glides toward the enemy camp. I don''t remember seeing a sword of absolution, so he must be trying to use it before the enemy and his friends get mixed up. I, Cal, and Galahad move forward slowly. I, Cal and Galahad are going slowly. It would be a shame to destroy them before they gain skill stones and points, since we have decided to bring out Bahamut today. Bahamut, the main character of the game, seems to be fidgeting, moving around his left and right shoulders from time to time. He sometimes moves in the air to keep his height to minimize his starvation, and he also floats along with the inertia of his first movement. Recently, I have seen many players who have changed their race, but I have not seen any Tennin yet. I wondered if foxes are popular as casino prizes, and I saw a couple of them in the shop-owning production jobs. One of them is Elias, next to the general store, and I wonder how much Gilweitzer got for the fox''s evolution stone. Enemies - mainly players - sometimes rush in by themselves, but they are lightly treated by Kal and Galahad. It is a mystery to me why they would bother to make a suicide attack when they have been attacked so many times by other knights and players that it seems impossible for them to come here unscathed. Homura: Many players are being allowed to ride two by an imperial knight. Ochazuke: Sir, it''s like a wall that can''t be beaten! Homura: Our employees and housemates excellent. The word "housemate" sounds strong like a bouncer teacher, but in fact, the employees are stronger than the bouncers. No, Cal was hired as a bouncer for a general store, so they are both bouncers. Peter: I''m in the enemy''s camp right now, but if Lengard comes to the camp, he''s going to get his breath and we''re going to lose! "Stop!" And w Shin: There''s a lot of screaming about what the victory condition is and how to stop Lengard. Peter: Laughing at the subtle indestructible object treatment. Homura: No, I''m going to fight them when they come. Leo: You can''t! Shin: How much N!?C are you working out? Ochazuke: It''s totally a time attack, thank you very much! Leo: Wahahahahaha! As we were talking, a squadron of cavalrymen passed below us. The front half of the group was made up of knights wearing the same emblem, and the back half was robed, so they must be part of Isle''s army. When they pass through, the leading knight gives a silent bow to them, and it makes me feel uncomfortable to have them pass under my legs, so I would like them to pass straight ahead without such a greeting. I am the first prince of the isle. "The prince is going to the front?" I thought the great ones were in the back.¡¡If you rush forward and are struck down or taken prisoner, I think that would be the end of the war at worst, no matter how favorable the situation may be. "He may advance his own army, but he himself usually doesn''t go forward. "I hear the second prince is also very good. Eagle and Camilla have already cleared the way in the war, and even if they are captured this time, the worst that can happen is that they will be returned by their own blades, so the hostages will be meaningless. You want to build a track record, Cal explains. The prince greets Cal because he is a military commander. We are currently forming an alliance to connect large parties, and Cal is the leader of the alliance. I have a good memory that when I formed a party with Cal and others, I was the leader of the alliance and I hurriedly passed the party leader position to Cal. As one might expect, there is a limit to the number of members and there are skills that affect the whole alliance, so not all the members are in the same alliance. Some of them are still messengers and some of them are intentionally divided into different parties for the sake of messengers using clan conversation. "d*mn!¡¡Stop!" As I was thinking, Percival ...... and Akira riding behind him ran into me. They were more agile than the other knights who had ridden in front of them, and they passed through the knights in front of them, taking almost no damage. He must have been given some kind of powerful grant, because he is covered with a thin light. Camilla''s sister seems to be a healer.¡¡It is not to be underestimated that they are receiving support from the same special individuals as Kal and Galahad. And he is the one who is closest to Tamamo and Zuwa. "Take it!" "-- [Shield of firm earth]" I won''t take it. "Asha''s chosen sword of valor!" "[Frozen Falling Water]!" "Sword of the wind and fire!" "[Stiff Sword of Fire and Sky]!" Cal was the first to release the skill, and Galahad and Percival did so at about the same time. Galahad and Percival fired their skills at about the same time. However, Percival''s skill was slightly faster than Galahad''s because of its wind attribute. The two skills collided with each other at the place where Cal''s skill collided with the first one, and a cloud of smoke, or rather vapor from the explosion, rose up. The white haze that slowly spreads toward us is soon broken by Galahad''s skill. Watch out, Akira is so slow with his lines that Percival''s skill reaches us first and almost breaks one of the shields of the solid ground! "d*mn!¡¡You''re an honor student!" Galahad swears that Percival used his skill - probably the knight''s substitution skill, because Akira and the cavalryman are unharmed. Percival is lying on the ground, clinging to the beast, seemingly unable to fight. "Asha''s heroes have performed the technique [Sword of Sweep]!" The raised sword rises to its full height, and just as it crosses Akira''s height, the blade, with its flaming chain wrapped around it, is swept to the side. It is a replica, judging from its size. I mean, I have a feeling that if I don''t use revival on Percival, he''ll revert back to death. The [Sword of Sweep] is wielded, and the red line runs through the sky as a red line, and then, after a delay, the red line bursts into flames as if it were gasoline, and it closes in. The first physical attack does no damage, and the next fire damage is halved. Furthermore, I am a fire suppressor, and Galahad also gained fireproofing skills in the battle against Phoenix. I am worried about Kal, but he is only a little H! is reduced only a little. We know that many of the imperial knights are fire fighters, and it is unthinkable that Cal is not taking countermeasures against them. I glance at Cal who is looking cool and relieved. Shockwaves and flames ran behind us, but we don''t care about them, since the recovery team should be protected by the knights of the rabbit girl''s group. Cal had told me that the knight Gawain would surpass me in terms of protection. "Wow!" Akira-kun screams at the cavalry beast, which begins to rampage as the principal Percival disappears as a particle of light, just as he is about to return the favor. "The Great Sword of Asha Sweep!" He stretches out his arm and calls for the great sword, because Asha''s sword is huge. As if fire is born and spreads from the palm of his hand, a thick, rugged great sword appears. It looks very different from the glittering great sword of Verus, but both give the impression of being a pair, perhaps because they are as tall as each other. "[Great Sword of Sweeping]" Farewell, farewell! A wide-range skill that seems like a waste against Akira, who is thrown out by the cavalry and falls. To drop it on the main body of the enemy line, the damage will spread horizontally, and it will involve allies in the battle. Therefore, we should give up the idea of involving the enemy''s main force in the most damaging attack, and adjust the distance shockwave and fire to fall in the area where there are no allies in the enemy''s line. They are close enough to do so. A wall of fire running in a straight line behind the enemy. "Shall we destroy the recovery and support first?" "......That was the one place I could hit where there were no allies." "That''s what I thought!" When Cal denies his words, Galahad says in a tone of voice that sounds like a joke: "I''m not sure I''d be able to do it if I didn''t know what I''m doing. Peter: Is it time?¡¡Release me, please. Homura: Yes, yes. "<>" "<>" That''s it, Peter appeared in all his finery and fell. Homura: I''m getting a lot of stares from both sides. Peter: I''m sure it''s just my imagination. "<>" Peter lands on the ground with a thud, breaking his knees as if nothing had happened, and calls out for Narun. Light leaks out from made of Narn''s scales on my right hand, and combines with the light leaking from Peter''s ring. The vision of Narn, which appeared between Peter and me, flew toward the enemy camp to which Peter pointed. "Lord, the allies are retreating." "Thank you. Bahamut, thank you for waiting. He calls out to Bahamut in response to Kal''s words. "Pigya!" "Have a good day." He lightly touches Bahamut, who appears around his chest, and sends him off. Bahamut swells up. As it flies up, its altitude increases, and it becomes so large that it covers the army with room to spare. It has grown so large that it is hard to tell what it is now from close up, but while the whole thing is in view, I think that Bahamut is the best looking of all the dragons. A roar so loud that it shook the earth was heard, and then the wind swirled and the cloak was strongly agitated. Bahamut must have opened his wings. Without a moment''s pause, my vision turned white and the atmosphere shook with a tremor from below, making it difficult to tell up from down for a moment. It would be hard for people on the ground to stand if this were happening in the air. I wonder if ...... Bahamut''s real breath will make it doubtful that not only the enemy army but also the Imperial capital will survive beyond that point. 280 - - 278. Bulletin Board 16.

Is it actually a different race? 546 Nobody >>545 What do you think? Mr. Lengard''s status. I can''t appraise it, so I don''t know. He said he couldn''t even see the [eye] holder.

It''s scrabbling! 551 Nobody Oh man, I can''t believe I already know which one I don''t think I can beat N! 552 Nobody The skills of a big knight with a lance... Akira-kun''s knight? 553 Nobody Seems so. 554 Nobody Woohoo! SS!!! Just when Master Lengard raises his hand.

I was blocked by two employees of the grocery store. I can''t even get close enough to do one damage!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Awww, it doesn''t slow down the movement speed at all. 564 Nobody LOL! 565 Nobody What are you going to do about this? 566 Nobody I''m just trying to settle something before I go into the camp.

In the end, the empire is sure to lose! 568 Nobody Well, the quests belonging to the Adventurers'' Guild Quests belonging to the Temple There are glimpses of the evil elements of the empire.

You''re free to do as you please, like Akira. I can pick up information on guardian beasts and other strategies. It''s like a regular route. 570 Nobody The Rabbit Girls to Master Lengard. I''m laughing at the fact that they''ve gone through this a few times. 571 Nobody >>570 The members of the firefighters are quite well remembered. I feel like there is a difference in the level of likability. 572 Nobody I wonder? You said hello to the knight of the same N!!C rabbit girl. 573 Mr. Nobody AHHH!!!

Did you go to assassinate him? 888 Nobody You''re a challenger. 889 Nobody WOW! But I flew the Blue Dragon toward the Empire! 890 Nobody Is that Narn? Black assassin is a player, right? 891 Nobody It should be. 892 Nobody It''s called Alice. What does this have to do with the grocery store? 893 Nobody "The one who should protect you, is at my back..." at the landing spot. Skill chanting? I was doing that. Do you think the black assassin belongs to the Isle military? The grocery store is up the www. 894 Mr. Nobody >>892 Master Lengard''s Patoka. I was the first one to get it. The first prize for defeating Alice on the WWW. 895 Mr. Nobody >>894 It would be too unbeatable!!!! 896 Nobody In the meantime, I''d like to talk to the black assassin. 897 Nobody It''s hard to identify who he is first, isn''t it? I''ve had people try to identify the assassination-related stuff before. I had no idea. 898 Nobody I heard from Mr. Lengard even if you clear it. Possibility of not getting a patka 899 Nobody Aaah! 900 Nobody Well, it may not be grocery store related. But first, we need Alice. ...... 901 Nobody Pedophile! 902 Nobody Pedophile outbreak! 903 Nobody Oh, my God! Bahamut is here! 904 Mr. Nobody ah! Because they''re crushing our support.

Relentless as ever. 907 Nobody The land was originally flat, but now it has been cleared even more. 908 Nobody Oops. 909 Nobody The empire has been cleared: ......

You will be automatically logged out after the results are announced and the rewards are selected. The announcement of the end came. The destroyed objects in the field slowly return to their original state as if time is rewinding, and N! It is a little scary to see the residents you know silently disappear, but it is familiar enough to be frightening. Leo: It''s over! Peter: Yes, yes. Homura, too. Ochazuke: Except for the temple. Sin: I''m tired! I was frozen for a moment, and then the clan conversation arrived in its usual tone. No, I haven''t registered for <> except for the temple ....... I transfer to the shrine in Fuso and move to the clan house via the shrine. Should I seriously look for an item to register the place of transfer? I change my clothes and wait for the announcement of the results over a cup of tea at the clan house. I''m hungry, so I''m just cracking open a bag of potato chips when everyone else comes back to the clan house. "Hahhh, yummy!" Shin, who seems to be full of energy, drinks his beer with relish. "Good work, good work!" Leo bites into his negima with a smile. "It''s done, it''s done." We have become accustomed to seeing Peter in ninja gear holding a mug of beer. Moist chicken breast with ume shiso, chicken cartilage, kalbi skewers, combed onions, tsukune with cartilage, asparagus wrapped in pork belly.... Everyone said they were hungry, so we prepared various kinds of skewers and beer and prepared to wait for the announcement of the results. Ochazuke said he wanted something sweeter than that, so we prepared souffl¨¦ pancakes. I layered two kinds of small pancakes, one is vanilla with chocolate chips and the other is chocolate. "Ah, sweet things sting. Berry ice cream and chocolate sauce are delicious, and the chocolate souffl¨¦ itself is bitter?¡¡It''s a little bittersweet." Ochazuke, looking happy with his pancake with a lot of cream and chocolate sauce. I am pleased to announce the results. "Oh!¡¡Here it comes!" "Oh, I had the window open." Open a window from the menu. Homra (**) (Fast) 103,557 **** (Fadil Islands) 29,001 **** (Navai Grande) 9,894 Roy (Fast) 6,974 Dawn (Fast) 6,892 Flame King (Barron) 6,261 Gilweitzer (Barron) 6,173 Arutaru (Dals) 4,444 Setsuna (Hadar) 3,458 Uni (Sadiras) 3,394 ... ... ... The following is an abbreviation My name is supposed to be hidden, but I can see it because it is me. The oatmeal pickles stop eating and stare at the screen for a while. "Oh, oh, oh!¡¡Roy that''s awesome!¡¡Dawn and Gil too!¡¡I knew the wizard would come." "I think Clau is a support type, so he didn''t toddle off and the others took him down, didn''t they?" I guess he is not the type of person who would go on and on and on like me, so his contribution seems to be high, but I guess he didn''t make it to the top in terms of points. "I know so many names! Leo looks happy. "Roy and the Flame King, I guess that''s the difference between the cores we received." Peter is right, Roy''s clan is a large one, so there must have been a lot of cores entrusted to him. Also, the points earned by defeating fighters were higher than those of producers, and the sil earned were converted into points. "I don''t see the Imperial side because they were wiped out at the end and their cores were mowed down. Peter glances at me. "If you''d used your big moves in a normal way, you''d have scored points, but it seems that the more you have, the more reckless you''ve been with your opponents." Ochazuke looks at me with a sideways glance. "There are some people who are not meant to be downplayed, or have the wrong digits. I won''t say who." "No, this is mostly Bahamut." Me making excuses to a smiling Peter. "Who are the second and third place winners?" Shin asks as he puts the skewer back on the plate. The skewers disappear with the empty plate, as usual, conveniently not needing to be cleaned up. "I thought Navai was f*cking pirates. Most of his acquaintances are Fast or Baron, so even if he knew their names, he wouldn''t recognize them." Ochazuke accepts a bag of popcorn while teaching Shin. Chips and popcorn are stocked in paper bags, hoping they don''t get damp. "The names of the production teams are coming up in the top 20," he says. "The cores are hard to maintain, because if the cores are lost in battle, they are transferred, including the ones that were in my care." The sil is also a point, especially if you have received rewards for cooperating with your country or guild. Ochazuke and Peter have found some names of production players they know. Please select your prize before logging out. Any points left over that are not redeemed will be credited to the casino''s "G. "Oh, wow!¡¡Gold! "Yay!!!!!!!" "Officials fuel the exposition style." Ochazuke has an ah-ha look on his face. "You''d better wait until you see the prizes ......" "Ha ha ha." I can see a near future where two beasts enter the casino, me and Peter laughing meaninglessly. Skills 20,000 points [Use E! Half] [Use M!? Half] [Use M!? Increase] ......

(abbreviated) 10,000 points <> ...... (abbreviated) ...... (abbreviated) (Omitted below.) The skills in the 20,000-15,000 point range seem to be those that are not manifested unless one encounters the gods or possesses the basic attributes. Incidentally, hiragana skills are said to become kanji when they are enhanced in the same way that sorcery becomes magic. I am paralyzed because I have so many points, but even Roy can''t reach 20,000. Among the skills, the one that caught my attention was "E! The one that caught my attention was the skill that halves the consumption of E! Half], and the [Equip] series, which enables the user to equip items that cannot be equipped due to their aptitude for the job, which are listed at 500 points. The skill that can only be activated with a ninja sword, [Unyoru Zangetsu], so I want to have [Ninja Sword Equipment], so check it out. <, but I prefer the swords and blades that I am using now. And I saw ¡¾Long Sword Equipment¡¿at the casino or in the arena, so I''ll put it off for now. I would also like to get a that increases the amount of food collected by +1, and a << that increases the efficiency of the corresponding production. Since there is also concealment, should I take it?¡¡No, I thought you could become an independent assassin and not disappear. "Oh, there''s so much I want! "Points, I''m running out of points ......!" "I want a wand that activates magic faster, but I''m not sure about equipment, because I''m sure there will be better equipment as the strategy progresses." "[Use E! I want to get a [Use E!? "I am very interested in Peter and the [use of E! Half] is 20,000 points, right?" "Yes." "Second place, you are!" The guy who is always in the top of the list. "What? "Really? Leo and Shin are surprised. "You just noticed?¡¡Where do you think we are?" The Fadil Islands, where the Clan House stands (here)....... He was flying Narn, so I guess it''s only natural. "<>" "I wonder if I can save these points and add them up next time." "No matter how much there is, it''s never enough." I listen to Shin and the others blathering on while I continue to make my selections. There are a lot of items, but they are usually arranged by category, so it is easier to keep track of them than I thought. The number of "E!? Half] [Use M! Half] [Use M! Increase] for 60,000, <> for 15,000, [ninja sword equipment] for 500, <><><> for 60,000, 135,500 is over the limit, now what should I reduce? The use of M! Reduce by half] <<>,...... or even <>. There are some conflicts with the medicines and alchemy. 8,057 left. I think I''ll use it. I''d like to reduce the number of M! Absorption] at 8,000 instead of [Use M! To be honest, I don''t think I''ll be able to use all of them even if I take offensive skills. "So, the skill stone is [Blade of Assassination]. In addition, we select a skill stone taken from an enemy. "Homura, if you have it, [Silent Suppression] is better than [Silent Suppression]. You have enough attack power (firepower), right?¡¡Plus, the higher the INT, the better it works." When I chose the assassin-like skills, Peter gave me some advice. Silent Suppression] is also an assassination skill, and its attack power is weak, but it seems to have either [Fear], an anomaly, or [Skill Block] or [Disarm], although the probability is low. I haven''t thought about what to capture alive, but it might be useful for capturing them. It''s easier than the [Shijin] that I wanted before, which requires careful timing. "Oh, I''ll take this one then." Let''s learn this quickly. Now you don''t have to belong to the Assassin''s Guild, and they can''t take away your assassin skills even if you misbehave in various ways and give them away. If you continue to kill players or residents without being caught, you can become an assassin, but you will become a criminal with a red X on your guild card and be chased by the guards. By the way, it is said that there is also a job called "murderer" if you play the game openly. I''d like to ask if that is a profession. "Now that we know what kind of things we can get for how much points, I think people are going to get serious next time." "There are going to be a lot of clan alliances. I''m sure that next time there will be more countries liberated and more cores ......, or rather, I think the points are set with that in mind." Goof, I avert my gaze at Ochazuke''s words. "Well, isn''t it obvious that Homura is in first place?¡¡Are you okay with this?" "I''m looking at the message boards, but so far I''m fine. It looks like we''ve settled on the black assassin as the top choice. "Hey, ......!¡¡I''ve been caught in the middle." Ha-ha-ha-ha! "Sure enough, there were some people who suspected that they were players, and some people who were waiting at the temple. They didn''t show up at any of the temples, which seemed to have added fuel to the N!C theory." "So you told me to avoid the temple." I mean, I didn''t mean to hide the fact that I''m a player. I knew Peter was pushing some kind of N! Well, let''s try again next time. "Oh!" "I''ll go ask Dawn and Gil about their skill sets." Leo and Shin are motivated by Ochazuke''s words. "Will you be raiding the grocery store again next time ......?" I blurted out, thinking that if I didn''t level up my wards, they would break. "I think there will be fewer attacks on general stores. ......" "Yeah, that one..." "Impossible!¡¡Wahahaha!" "But won''t there be more assaults on memorials?" "Which one? What do you mean you can''t?¡¡What''s a commemorative assault?

"I think long-range physicals have the advantage here." There are no archers. Peter and Ochazuke answer my blabbering. I''m in the labyrinth playing with Zoo. Peter has gotten the tablet for changing jobs, and I''m preparing for everyone else to change jobs through the job route. After changing jobs, we are discussing about leaving the labyrinth and going to the empire or some other land that we haven''t seen yet. Zoo is a huge bird-like creature, the base of its wings so thick with muscle that one wonders if it can fly, and instead of a beak, it has a serpent-like mouth lined with shark-like fangs. And the wings seem to repel magic, so they can''t do much damage. The first one was a Lesser Zoo, which was supposed to be slender and had few feathers. It was also hard to get through the magic, but not as hard as Zoo''s. I wonder if plucking its feathers would make the magic work better.¡¡Zoo is a rare individual, but Roy and his party have already defeated it for the first time. Normally, I would knock down flying enemies with [wind magic] and entangle them with <> to make them unable to fly, but Zoo seems to be wind-attribute, so the effect is not so strong. The same goes for metallic properties. "[Air bullet]!" "Wa-ha-ha-ha!¡¡[Throwing projectiles]!" In the midst of all this, the two of them are active. They attacked with a thud, thud, thud without thinking of the enemy''s view, but Zoo''s target did not shift from Kikuhime. While we were working on the event, the experience value was doubled, the rare rate of [gathering] and [mining] was increased, and Kikuhime''s level was also improved. Arum and Sisulu, who have been playing other games and logging in for a short time, have also improved their levels a lot. "It''s good that he''s strong, but is Leo going to be okay?¡¡Wallet-wise." "I don''t think so." The way Ochazuke answers with his gaze fixed on Zhu makes me wonder if he is throwing a very expensive weapon. "I heard you made it yourself, though. I should have made more." Peter adds with a wry smile. Peter also seems to have a lot of homemade throwing tools, but he focuses more on additional effects rather than aiming for high damage. In fact, the [paralysis] and [sleep] effects on the enemies made the battle easier. If you only have high magic defense, you can get by, but if the enemy doesn''t accept magic for some other reason, you should just go for the regular way ....... "[Alchemy] <, [throwing]" The < made by alchemy magic will disappear after a while, but there is no problem as long as it is consumed immediately. However, it is not so effective against zoos, because of its magical power. It is better than magic, but you should buy a throwing weapon later. Solo fighters tend to be forced to use force, but when you fight in a party, you will realize your insufficiencies. "I think these eggs around here are some kind of gimmick. ......" Peter is examining the eggs. "Come to think of it, I think Zoo came down when I broke that one." "Oh?¡¡Seriously!" "But if you break it, it explodes. ......" Before I could finish, something flew in front of me. "Whoa!" Exploding Peter, not an egg. "And then it explodes and enemies spring up like this." And I don''t know any more. What are you doing? Ochazuke hastily recovers Peter while saying so. "I am innocent!" Peter protests. "Wa-ha-ha-ha!" Laughing culprit #1. "You''re a crocodile, aren''t you? "Huh?¡¡Hey!¡¡Come here!" It seems that there was more than one egg broken, and the crocodile is approaching the oatmeal. "Ha-ha!¡¡I wonder why I''m a bird and you''re a crocodile when you break eggs!" Laughing culprit #2. "[Provocation], right!" A young girl who also takes the crocodile''s tag and becomes a shield. An angry Zoo came down after the egg was broken. For a moment, she floats with her feet on the ground, but that''s as close as she can get to a melee attack. Everyone but me attacks her, and I take advantage of this opportunity. Magic is not very effective against the zoo, so I turn to deal with the crocodile. Stop breaking eggs with your piercing attacks! "I just wanted to use it!" Leo is using his skill to hit enemies at a certain distance with a penetrating attack. I have never seen this before, and it must be a newly acquired skill. "You can use it, but don''t get the eggs involved. Ochazuke nails it. Well, if you''re going to penetrate, you might as well go for two in a row. ....... "Ugh!¡¡You''re going to eat it!" "Only with reinforcement!" "It was the bait, the crocodile." "I totally thought they were zoo eggs." Yeah, until now. They were born so obviously different. We learned that the zoo eats the crocodile when it accumulates a certain amount of damage, and that we have to kill the crocodile before it can do any damage to the zoo, but if we kill it first, the zoo will not come down. "So if you lead the crocodile to catch the zoo and hit it with an explosion, it will do a lot of damage to the zoo?" Peter dexterously put it into practice, but the attack on the crocodile leads it to the exploding egg, and if done well, when the crocodile eats the egg, the exploding egg also breaks and the zoo burns. "You''re getting tough, little girl." "You haven''t moved a muscle." "Don''t make me sound like I''m getting fat!" Ochazuke and I praised him and he scolded us. I''ve got Zhu''s feather x4. I have obtained Zoo Fang x5. I got Zhu''s magic stone. I got onyx x 5. I got the . I got <<< piece of tablet [fist] for job change>> x 2. "Wahahaha!¡¡There it is!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!¡¡But it''s a [bow]!" "[Sword]!" "I guess I''m a [bow] too." "I [recover], win!" "I was a fist. I want one! "I guess you were a healer too, weren''t you?" "Welcome [recovery]." It seems that the only person who drew the piece of the job he wanted was Ochazuke. Shin''s [Sword] went to Kikuhime, Kikuhime''s [Recovery] went to Ochazuke, and my [Fist] went to Shin. I get the sil of the market price from Ochazuke. Since shards can be bought and sold, it will be easy to get them if more players come to this level. The skills and titles you have determine the jobs you can change to, but there are also restrictions on the <> you complete. It seems that most of the jobs are related to the letters on the tablet, but for special or powerful jobs, you need to collect the pieces of the tablet. Peter''s [Ninja] is a good example. I just realized that the solo reward <> is an exceptional one that can be used for all professions that have the same requirements. I guess it was a waste to use it. ....... "I need to level up soon too." Peter had not enough INT to change his job, so he has not become a ninja yet. "I''m up! "I''m almost there." I''m almost there. I have more weapons. "How many more of those do I have to have?" "Well?" Ochazuke asked me about it, but it''s a mystery to me too. "Usually, the number of M! I think it will just be floating around due to lack of ......." "I''m going to start working on the M! We''re recruiting big time." Peter says in disgust, but I don''t care!¡¡I''m kind of looking forward to seeing how many more canes I can get. "Well, that''s it for today.¡¡Do you want to go outside?" "I''m going down here because it costs money!" "Same here!" The two beasts answer Ochazuke''s question. "I have a lot of things to report, so I''m leaving now." Peter''s report ......, I wonder if it''s an underhanded business. "My guess is that tomorrow''s log-in time is the same as the meeting time, so I''m going to log out now. I''m going to go out and do some more production. I''ll be there. "I want to see the Prime Minister, not ...... the cat in sadilas." "To Lord Alone?" He stops by to give Roy and the others materials he does not plan to use, leaves a curry for the Flame King at Elias''s store, and is currently at the general store asking Cal and Galahad to connect him with the Prime Minister. I could ask Yuni to do it, but it''s too depressing. By the way, when I logged out to go back to the normal server, I found an e-mail from Yuni-chan inquiring about the shampoo I use in the other world (this one). I thought to myself, "Why didn''t she ask me about it over here ......", but I probably would have had a sensitive feeling even if she had asked me about it in Otome mode. I don''t know about the real world''s "spit it out" type of emails, but I got an invitation to have dinner with her, so it''s all right. I answered honestly because it was an expensive shampoo for animals, but when I saw Cal''s face, I realized that the reason my hair was moist and silky for the care was due to the brushing by several people. I should keep quiet because if I told him about this, he would probably send me to get brushed, and brushes are non-transferable. --I''m not lying, so that''s good. Cal looks a little strange as he brews a cup of tea and glances at Galahad. "Is this bothering you again?" "Geez!¡¡What do you mean again? "Mount Huaguo." Galahad tries to protest, but Kalu says, "I''m sorry, I''m sorry. Eagle turns his face away, probably remembering the boomerang pants he had equipped for the attack. is the place where Galahad and I went to save Camilla from the disease of fire fever. It was not forced, and I don''t mean to be a nuisance, but this exchange between master and disciple is usually a regular occurrence, so I won''t say anything about it. "By the way, Asha and I got matching pants, but I don''t plan to use them. ......" I sipped the tea that was handed to me and muttered something I remembered before drinking it, and the others looked at me with indescribable eyes. "...... You are the Prime Minister of Sadiras, aren''t you?" Cal confirms it as if he has regained his composure. This time the sweet was a peach tart. The custard and cream in the pie are kept to a minimum and the tart is filled with thick peaches. The pie is light and airy in the dish. The peaches brought back from Dru''s farm are suspected, but there seems to be no sign that Cal and the others have been exposed to the "Bosuchu-jutsu" (the art of being in the cellar). "And there''s the cobblestone work, isn''t there?" Where is it? "Oh, you mean the mosaic that the gentiles recently made in the temple of Sadiras?" "It''s beautiful, the red stones are kind of pretty when they come close together." Eagle and Camilla tell me. "Do you want to come by?" "Hmm, if you''re going to go, you might as well wait and see." Camilla smiles and hugs me in her arms. "I''ll stay here if you want to go. These peaches are delicious. "I''d be missing something if I didn''t have it, but I like that the custard isn''t too thick." Now that the summer season has come, the fire dragon seems to have started roaming around the Parthin Mountains, and he doesn''t want to go out too much because he is worried about it. Camilla is happy to keep the sweetness low, but actually Cal and Reno''s portions are served with a thicker custard. I like the fruit tart to bring out the flavor of the fruit, but it seems to be too much for these two who have a sweet tooth. "So, shall I accompany my apprentice once in a while? Cal said with a smile, and it was decided that Reno would take him at his word and leave him in his absence. What are the specialties of Sadiras?¡¡I will buy something for Leno, Lapidus and Noel as well. I am looking forward to taking Black with me this time, since we are not going to fight. 283 - - The Liberation of the City Transferred to the Temple of the Isle. "Hyah! When I moved, I was jumped back by a visitor in the temple. We are not supposed to be at the same coordinates, and we are a reasonable distance away from each other without bumping into each other. ....... "Why are you here?" What''s happening on the isle? "Event?" "Beautiful." "Where''s Mr. Reno!" Bulletin board! "Are we finally going to move the story from Gears to Isle?" "Aah!¡¡I want it alongside Master Cain~" Who''s Cain?¡¡The master of the Adventurers'' Guild here is Cain, an elf and a good looking guy, I remember. The master of the Adventurers'' Guild is on the road so often that we seldom have a chance to meet him, but it seems that there are others we have met. I''m tempted to ask him what quest brought us to meet, but he''s so deadly and scary that I don''t make eye contact with him and look straight for the exit. Maybe I should have come here with a fox mask. I wonder if the "Utsuroshin" will work on this large group of people. "Mr. Lengard, Mr. Lancelot." I was thinking about using the "Utsuroshin" and then I was called. Not in a whispering way, but clearly from the priest who bowed his head as if blocking my path. Cal''s name is out in the open, but it''s too late now. "Please accept this." A stone on a purple hood was offered to me. The development is a mystery, but the result is a transfer stone. I have never been to this town, but this is for the registration of the transfer gate of the temple, right?¡¡Why ....... "There seems to be an oracle in the other temples, and your companion. If you stop by any of the temples, you will be able to open the corresponding gates in the corresponding towns." I don''t remember receiving one. It would be useful, but it''s a mystery how they do it. "We don''t ask for anything in return. We only obey the oracle. ....... In the temple of Asha, there was an oracle for a great number of people to be released to Albar. Here in the temple of Tasha, the tree god, there are only two of you. The fact that the event was released at this time to a small number of people may be due to their cooperation with Isle at the event. I heard that it is quite troublesome to do quests in the city to open the gate, but I don''t remember doing it. It is said that if you are a member of the Knights of the Isle or a commercial guild, you don''t have to look for quests in the city and can get them without any trouble. "Oh?¡¡I guess we have one of those." "I''ll check with Asha''s temple later." Let''s take what we can get, shall we?" "I''m not familiar with the wood god Tasya. ......" Cal has been granted a transfer to Albar from the magical state of Isle as a reward for something, and has been allowed to transfer to Valnor by the oracle of Fal, the god of water. Of course, the king will be informed of this, but the authority of the temple, which is actually a ward against foreign enemies, is great when it comes to transfers. Albar is the city closer to the empire, and then Valnor, both of which were, as I recall, the first places in the Isle where gentile clan houses were allowed to be built. If I release all of them, it will be in the order of contribution points to the Isle. In terms of the game, I would release them in order of demand, and in terms of the other world, I would release them in order of proximity to the empire. It may be a part of the reward of a large-scale battle, but it is hard to say that the city of Asha, the god of war and the god of fire, is to be liberated. "Oh?¡¡I''ll go to the Temple of Asha!" "Which way is it?" "Next door, next door, can''t you take me on a horse-drawn carriage?" "By the way, there was a post on the message board about the liberation of the route in Fagat. Is it a reward for the big battle? "I was in the empire, but I wonder if there''s anything in the empire too." "Thank you." In the midst of the crowd, I thank him and accept the stone. Yes, I''ve been going to new places too and haven''t gone through all of them. Even if I did, I don''t know if I''d go back a second time. ....... I wonder if I would be able to go to all the temples if I accept quests frequently. "It''s going to be crowded, do you want to go around the temple later?¡¡If you do, I will let you know that I will be a little late. ......" "No, we asked you to come, and we will be there on time." Today is Sadiras. ...... so how do we get to Sadiras? The area of Asha''s gate and Val''s gate will be crowded because of this incident, so we have to go to Albar or Valnor once in this direction. "Lord ......" "I''m hoping for fluff." Cal gives me a subtly resentful look, but I reject the gaudy amma. I don''t want to call out to the white tiger in this form, so I let him ride me on Galahad''s tile. "Don''t shake while you''re running," he says. "I would have invited the Uruks to join us if they had two riders." Camilla''s Uruk and Eagle''s Hagar are both wolf-like cavalry beasts and are also fluffy. They are smaller than Galahad''s tiger tiles and not strong enough to withstand long-distance rides. The tails of Tyl is nice, but the tails of Uruk and Hagar are also wonderful. "I told you not to struggle!" Tile slowed down and Galahad scolded him. Albar''s specialty was grilled meat. What is the specialty of Valnor?¡¡Eventually, out of the gates of Tasya, the city is heading toward Valnor. The road passes through the forest, and the scenery is similar to the one we had seen before, but the speed is quite fast. The trip to Hussow was a bit slower. Looking back, we must have been traveling at a slower pace for Ukon''s sake. It was not so long ago, but it was nostalgic. "Lord, let''s take a break. At this time of the year, there should be a water hole a little further in. "Yes, sir." Cal leads the way as we slow down and enter the forest. The white horse, named Vyse, is naturally a flying animal without any obstacles, but it floats on its two fists and runs dexterously along with the tiles. "Vyse is so graceful." The tiles soaking wet under the mouth are adorable, but the blond knight giving the white horse a drink of water is picturesque. "Yes, the most beautiful creature on earth." Cal, who pats Weisse''s neck lovingly, shows his love for horses. The ground was a little damp, so we cut the grass and spread it on the ground, and put a blanket on top of it. It was a little before the rainy season, but it seems that the rainfall is sucked into the ground once and then gathers and gushes out around this area at different times. Lunch was a star-shaped pizza. A round pizza dough is cut and folded, and the pointed end is filled with ricotta cheese. The folded edges allow for plenty of cheese and filling in the middle. Basil, tomatoes, bacon and fresh mozzarella cheese called Bufala. Mozzarella made from cow''s milk is often sold in supermarkets, but it is a bit sticky, while buffalo''s milk melts and leaves a milky aftertaste. Mozzarella made with Hal''s milk may be closer to buffalo''s milk. "Still as delicious as ever!" "I love the acidity of the tomatoes and the saltiness of the cheese and bacon!" I''m glad he eats so well. I also pull a slice of pizza from the sharp end and bring it to my mouth. When I pull a slice away from the pizza, the cheese stretches and looks appetizing. "Why does Homura want to meet the Prime Minister, let alone Sadilas''s mosaic?" Eagle, a man with a cat''s tongue that I have noticed recently, asks me. He is probably still cooling the pizza in his hand by talking to it. "I just heard a leak from a friend," he says, "and since you seem to be related to Galahad and the others, I thought I''d come and meet you." And there''s a good chance it''s a cat, now. "Sorry to drag you into the empire''s problems ......." "As I said before, I''m interested in Tamamo and Nue. If I stick my neck out, the empire will come out, and I think that''s just fine." Both seem to be lurking in the heart of the matter. Merlin''s behavior of being confined to the tower is similar to that of Shiramine, who was a samurai in front of Kuzunoha. My guess is that the prince is in the castle as the crown prince, and Tamamo is in the tower in the forest. Oh, I have to go get Shiramine. I''m putting it off for a while, thinking that I''ll have to go along with the sick image of him. "When we go to Sadiras, let''s go to the hot springs in Fuso together before we get involved with the Empire. "When you say hot springs, do you mean go swimming?" I''m a bit confused by Camilla''s words. "Fuso''s hot springs are more like a hot tub." Cal explains on my behalf, leaving me puzzled. "What?" "I wonder if they wear swimsuits ......?" "Most of the places are gender-segregated, so there is no need to wear a bathing suit." Camilla and Cal''s conversation reminded me that many foreign hot springs are treated more like heated swimming pools. "We''re talking about getting away from all the clutter, eating good food, and relaxing for a night or two," she said. We couldn''t take our time in Fagat because it was too rushed, so let''s make a proper schedule this time." "Ruba is over there now, too, right?¡¡I''m looking forward to a drink." I make a mental note to contact Ruba when the date is set. "You''re going to lose the drinking contest again, aren''t you?" Eagle teases Galahad. "Next time I won''t lose!¡¡But why is that old man such a strong drinker?" Luba has been staying at the home of Fuso sword smith Tianjin to learn new techniques. He recalls that Tianjin also seemed to find Luba''s knowledge and skills unusual, and that the craftsmen hit it off with each other. "But it takes quite a bit of time to get there, even if you ride in a cavalry car." "We can''t keep the store closed for so long, so why don''t we go half at a time?" "But first, I hear that crossing the sea depends on the mood of the sea dragons, right? I can get there by transfer, but the rest of us can''t. I have a suspicion that Cal can transfer to Fuso. Lapidus and Noel, with the help of Galahad and others, had also obtained permission for inter-country transfer before I knew it, but Fuso is far from Albar. We will prepare a barrel of water for Soong, but it will still take a long time. "The itinerary would be fun, but it would take quite a few days. Well, be graceful." I''ll take care of it. Before I could close the door, a voice interrupted me. I look toward the voice and see Ur-Lolo with one hand lightly pinching the skirt of her maid''s uniform and her head hanging down. In the other hand is a basket of vegetables, including asparagus and corn. Kurulkan, perhaps in response to his sister''s voice, peeks out from the cuff of his dress. It is very d¨¦j¨¤ vu. 284 - - The Wool Rollo My name is Ur-Lolo, nice to meet you. This is Mr. Dru. The three of them are very excited by his sudden appearance, and Kal has a scary smile on his face, though he does not show it. The four of them are subtly ready for battle, and I''m left sitting alone, feeling somewhat late to the party. I am in the position of being protected, even though it is important that the residents are not able to fight. The difference in reaction and response is something that cannot be filled by status. Ur-Lolo greets with a beautiful gesture, completely ignoring the fact that he is probably aware of it. He gives the basket of vegetables not to me but to Eagle who is standing by. "Do you know him?" "Just in case?" Eagle hands me the basket despite my confusion. Asparagus, corn, edamame (green soybeans), raspberries, cherries, and Cal''s least favorite, green peppers. ...... Did we have green peppers the last time?¡¡I looked at it with a stare. "Oh, that''s my favorite food." ....... Isn''t this a nuisance fee from Dru for Ur-Lolo''s intrusion? "It was just harvest time, so they let us in." As usual, the response was as if he could read people''s minds. You are the culprit! A little time off and there are more vegetables. Anyway, I wonder if cherries and raspberries will go to seed?¡¡Corn should be ready for seed about two weeks after it is ready to eat, and edamame will be impossible. "Homura, who is this sister of yours?" Galahad asks, not letting his guard down. He seems to have forgotten everything that happened during the great battle. I am Ullo Lolo, the sister of Kulurkan who is wrapped around your arm there comfortably. I have been mysteriously advised by my foolish brother not to serve tea to Homura-sama if you want to do well here. """Brother""" Galahad and the others look at Krulkan at the cuff. Kulurkan, who had been half out of the cuff under everyone''s eyes, quickly runs into the cuff and peeks around with his face only, just like the last time. Tea."""" Then he looks at Cal, smiling in the spring sunshine. I wonder that I feel a little sad that he is an AI after all, when he reacts exactly the same as before. "The beast on this sleeve is a sealed beast, now my staff. Ur-Loro is the sister of Kulrukan, the keeper of the fields of Dur. I only met her the other day at a banquet with the gods, but she has another sister." "You''re the sister of the <>?" Galahad frowned. "A thing subordinate to God. ......" Eagle rubs his brow. "Don''t tell me your sister isn''t coming too?¡¡Homura, don''t fall for anything too strange." Camilla pinches my sleeve, the one with the kurulkan in it. "You seem to be using a powerful [cognitive inhibition]." Cal smiles but doesn''t let his guard down. Perhaps it was my subtle change of words, or perhaps it was the bell peppers, but both the words and the reactions of Cal and the others were a little different. "Lord, the serpent lineage is known for its cunning and treachery. It would be wise to stay away from them. He smiled at Kal and recommended that he and Ur-Lolo be cut down together. The theory that it was the bell peppers'' fault is strong. "It''s true that we are lecherous and cunning creatures, tempted to betray those we love the more we love them. If someone stronger appears, we usually take his/her side. There is a difference between love and subservience. "Pervert." Galahad says with a drawl. "My Lord, I beg your pardon." I kept quiet, and Kal pulled out Kulkarnikan. I look at Krulkan with a delicate feeling as he reaches for me. "Oh, the way you look at that piece of trash!¡¡I can''t get enough of it!" Stop dyeing your cheeks!¡¡And stop making my voice go up! In case you''re wondering, I''ll deny that I''m just being subtle in my tracing of the previous exchange, but I don''t really care ...... about Krulcan''s proclivities, no, he''s out. I have no problem with you enjoying it privately, but I would ask you to keep it out of my sight and out of my business. "Hmmm. You shouldn''t have let my brother wrap himself around you, hiding his true nature. I won''t allow you to keep those comfortable arms wrapped around me all to yourself." "Comfortable to wrap yourself around?" ....... What kind of arm is that?" "This is what your arm looks like, right?" Galahad is pulling out all over the place, and Camilla is wrapping her arms, or rather her body, around my arms. My chest is welcoming. After that, we proceeded in a similar fashion until the selection of skills. Cal chose [Meteor] as well. It is a skill from Verus, but he was able to use it, and Cal thinks he has Verus''s blessing. The skill to make knights kneel that he used on the mountain road to Fuso also seems to me to be somewhat Verus-like. But I''m still feeling a bit lazy even though this is the second time in a row, what is the meaning of a break? ....... "What''s Varnor famous for?" "I''ve never had it, but I''ve heard it''s stewed in a pot." Cal is quick to tell us what food he eats when he hears the word "specialty. We walk through the streets of Valnor together. The cities of Ziaz have different impressions of each other, but the impression of both Alvar and Varnor are the same, probably because they have the same cobblestones and architectural style as Alsuna, the capital city. Of course the capital is more sophisticated and the main streets are wider, but the magical state of Isle must have planned the location and construction of all the cities. I was expecting to see a lot of players, but so far I have not encountered any. This is probably due to the fact that it is late at night in real time and that the Adventurers'' Guild and the Gentile Settlement are located on the opposite side of the West Gate. The number of players based in the Isle is increasing, but not as many as in Fast because of the transportation problem. There are quite a few players living in Fagat, thanks to the arena and the tropical resort, but this is largely due to the fact that some of them have been transferred to Fagat. With the opening of the transition, it is likely that more and more players will build clan houses here as well. "The pot dish here is made of dried sprouts of a wild plant called that is harvested in the spring and , a demon that appears around here, cut into squares with its skin on, in a small pot with a lid." "You don''t boil it, you actually steam the whole jar in a row. Noor is also called <, and although it looks completely different, it tastes like pork. The skin melts off the steamed knoll, and the tender meat and kuguta together is a great dish, but I think it''s more suited for winter. "I think knolls lose their flavor this time of year, too." Galahad and his friends will tell you. "Hmm, too bad. Maybe we should come back in the winter." "Hmm, I''ll let you know my recommendation for a place to eat then." We went into a suitable restaurant, had a meal, and went to Sadiras. I don''t want to put too much strain on the tiles, so I quietly let Vyse give me a ride. I''d like to call for the white tiger, but I''m sure there are players in Sadiras, so I don''t know where I''ll run into them along the way. I stroke my horse''s glossy hair and watch the tiles running by. Canines and felines run quite differently. Vyse is so smooth and comfortable that it makes me a little sleepy, and I think I would never fall off even if I dozed off. "Sadiras is a country located at the edge of the Great Forest of the Isle where we are. From there, the trees become sparse and the land becomes a wasteland called the hunting ground of Paltin the Golden Dragon. "From that wasteland, an empire." Galahad adds, looking uninterested in Cal''s explanation. "The dry river in the wasteland used to be the empire, but we''ve recently expanded it. We''ve also made some of the smaller neighboring countries into tributaries." Eagle''s follow-up makes Galahad realize that the cause of his displeasure was his dissatisfaction with the Empire''s recent practices. Is he like ...... with difficulty on the back of military force?¡¡The rumors of the empire that I have heard from the residents on the Isle, including the peddler Hop, are not good. "Population growth has coincided with the spread of the wilderness. Apart from the foxes and spiders, we would have had food problems and would have had to invade other countries to survive. The empire has grown too big." "Oh, by the way, the old man was also talking about changing from wheat to rye." "How could wheat grow in such a wasteland?" That''s more surprising. "They''ve been pushing themselves too hard, especially with Dur''s blessing... It is out of the question because the yield is low for the crop, but white bread was a kind of status, so it''s hard to ......." Unlike wheat, rye is easy to grow in harsh environments. Cal is right that if we had switched to rye as soon as the wastelands spread out, the food problem might have been manageable. Since meat can be obtained by hunting demons, what they want are grains and vegetables that can be obtained stably. However, if one''s own country is poor and one''s neighbor is rich, one may feel envy, so I think it was only a matter of time. "I am not used to eating rye bread, but I think it will be hard to keep eating rye bread all the time. I guess I could give up if they would just disappear from the stores. I would buy wheat bread if I could find it in the stores, even if it is more expensive. It is said that there is a belief in white bread in the empire, soft white bread is made from wheat and hard black bread from rye. Wheat is difficult to grow in the wastelands, and its hard fusuma is often wasted in making bread. In the real world, in the old days, poor farmers used to eat the hard fusuma as ground gruel, but with the declaration of "bread is my meat" (I won''t say who it was), they became more and more status quo and had to eat bread!¡¡I wonder if it became "By the way, isn''t there a forest on the east side of the empire?¡¡What about over there?" "The forest where Merlin the Wizard lives was originally distorted by magic. The leaves and meat are poisonous to man. Master Merlin has been holed up in the forest not only because of his personality but also because of his research to normalize the magic of the forest. "I see." You weren''t just holed up or locked up with a woman. "Wheat yields are down even in small countries. The forests of this isle are getting smaller and smaller these days, and the mineral wealth that would be abundant if it were due to Paltin''s influence has not changed. I was worried that it might be a sign of the resurrection of the evil gods, and Homura told me. Eagle must have been talking in the labyrinth about the loosening of the seal of the beast and the thing that changes the contents of a person into something (...). I don''t think the gods called it an evil god, but the inhabitants seem to call the being an evil god. "Oh, I remember that story." "Hey." Galahad interrupts without a moment''s pause. The story of the evil gods, the takeover of people, and the change in the environment, seems to be quietly and gradually invading the city without our noticing. I''d like to gather information on your side, but right now we''re dealing with a threat that''s easy to understand. I''d like to get this empire thing out of the way as soon as possible. "I''m going to ask him for information about the Spider, but for now, I''m going to go with Sadilas." The camps are getting organized." ....... At any rate, Sadiras is the god of cats and cobblestones.........................is he ok? The appointment with the vizier who is not a cat ...... is not made by Cal, but by Galahad, who has been working on the request until recently. I have already confirmed with Yuni that he is currently a cat. 285 - - The Chancellor of the Exchequer Aaron "Quite a crowd, huh?" The plaza in front of the temple is crowded with residents. The building seen through the people does not look spectacular in its blue-gray color, but the carvings around the round windows for lighting are exquisite and beautiful. "I don''t think I''m going to be able to get close to this one for a while." I didn''t expect it to be so crowded." "When we came here, it had just been built, so there wasn''t a lot of talk about it." The first thing I did when I arrived in Sadiras was to visit the temple with the cobblestone pavement, but it was a little too close to the temple. The cobblestone pavement seems to be a room for quiet prayer alone or among close friends, only a few people can enter, and the temple is open only as a prayer room. Therefore, it takes a long time and there is no sign of people. "I don''t care if I just want to look at it, I have to go inside. "You have to step on the floor." "Lord, it looks like we can speed up the order with a donation--" Cal is reading the information he received from the priest who is organizing the people. "There are children in line, so let''s not do that. Is this another offering? Is there no temple away from the grime of the world once in a while? "Yes, I have a rendezvous with someone, so let''s come back when you''re free. Lord, over there they sell pol, a specialty of the temple. "Pol?" Cal pointed in the direction of a small store with colorful shades. It was not as crowded as the temple, but it seemed to be reasonably busy. I could see people holding what looked like popcorn containers, some with their parents and children, and others with lovers. "These are bite-sized snacks in different flavors. I like the ones covered with Maddie''s pollen." Pollen....... Pollen dumplings made by bees are sold under the name of bee pollen, but they have a rather habitual and bitter taste. ....... I wonder if it depends on the type of flower.¡¡I remember that honey made from chestnuts and buckwheat was blackish in color and tasted very bad. Pollen must be the same. So let''s kill some time eating them. That''s what happened. "Well, that''s interesting." When you enter the store, you see a counter full of glass cases - more like a jarat shop. Inside are rows of small boxes, each containing a different type of bite-size pastry. The boxes are labeled with a number and the type of flavor. "Number three, please. "I''ll have number four." "I''ll take the first ten." "I''m number 14." The four of us ask in a familiar manner. It is crowded, and I am looking from one to the other, thinking that I must order quickly. While waiting for our turn, we were told that the row of boxes closest to the waiter was for sweet and standard items, while the row on the customer''s side was for new and seasonal items. I asked for one standard and one non-standard item, and when I asked for a half, each was placed in a rolled up paper and put in a large paper cup. The standard portion was served as it was in the cup, and the half portion was served without the cup. The two halves were wrapped in paper and placed in a cup. "Delicious!" I''m apparently not a good walker, so I don''t have to wait in line anymore, and I sit far enough away from the crowd to avoid the crowds, but the bite-sized poles are just right for snacking outside. "Here you go, too." I take one from the cup offered by Camilla. The yellow, slightly moist pollen and the chewy poles wrapped in the yellow pollen are gently sweetened with a hint of bitterness. "It''s a bit addictive, isn''t it?" "Lord, this one, too." "Thank you." Cal''s is a honeyed version of pol that Camilla gave me. It is not covered with honey, but the honey seeps out of the pol when you bite into it. It''s sweet, but not too sweet. Both are delicious." If you want to eat a little with honey, or a lot without honey, it seems to be a good choice. The Galahad and Eagle poles are sweet with a salty taste. "Black, you want some?" When I brought the pol to his chest, the black guy came out and ate it with a gulp, then returned with a gulp. Was it a moray eel or ......?¡¡I am beginning to worry a little about the kind of creatures I am keeping in my clothes. It seems that the arm is out of my jurisdiction, and Krulkan and I are not concerned about each other. Well, only people don''t like black. And so we come face to face with the Prime Minister. Galahad and the others have visited the castle several times, so we are ushered into the castle without any trouble. The castle and temple of Sadiras are of an unusual construction, the temple and the castle being one. The temple is located in the south front of the circular wall, the castle in the north back, and the old temple inside the second wall in the center of the round site. It is a very mysterious place from the point of view of the game. In Sadiras, the temple and the royal family are closely related. Originally, a family that protected the temple organized the people who gathered there, and that was the beginning of the kingdom. The royal family has produced many saints and saints'' daughters, and priests sometimes hold important positions in the country, and I was told that Prime Minister Alone is a high-ranking priest. However, because such dual roles are too demanding, they are usually limited to one or the other, and the vizier is rarely involved in the work of the priests. "I am sorry, but all but three of you will have to wait here for a while." The guide official leaves with Cal. He said he would meet Galahad and the others and talk to them first. Because he is a cat, right?¡¡I wait quietly, thinking, "I''ll be back soon. The castle of Sadiras is mainly made of the same blue-gray stone as the temple, and there are carvings with mythological motifs here and there. "I have met him myself, but he is a rather difficult man, Lord Alone. The three of you seem to be trustworthy enough to accept my sudden request for a meeting." "If I hadn''t been there, Cal would have been let through, too, right?" "Hmm. The three of them are probably asking a lot of questions about the Lord right now." "Eh." I hadn''t thought of that!¡¡Are they talking about how they pretended to be a cavalry beast on the road or something like that?¡¡I''ve been a little bit excited, but now I''m starting to get nervous. "Lord, since you''re here, why don''t you have some tea?¡¡Sadiras tea is rare, produced only in very small quantities." "Hmm." Fidgeting, I sat down across from Cal and sipped the tea that had been prepared. ¡î ¡î ¡î ¡î ¡î ¡î "Welcome." "...... why do you look like that again?" In the functional and elegant office, the master of the room was nowhere to be seen, and Galahad and the others were confronted by a cat on a desk. "I had been warned by you and others, but when my consciousness became clouded, I was given the medicine I had asked for before." "You''ve grown quite lovely, haven''t you? I thought the medicine (????) would make him look better, but I guess I was wrong. Galahad is not surprised by the cat''s words, but only smiles at the edges of his lips. "No. This appearance is the result of his wizard''s curse overriding another curse before it could have a decisive effect. It''s an emergency measure, but it''s the best we can do. "Oh, well, if you know who cast it, it should be easy to undo, right?" Camilla gives a seductive smile and asks me outwardly why I am still in that form. The room smells faintly of medicinal herbs like smoldering grass, perhaps a remnant of the office that Prime Minister Alone once held while pushing himself against the ravages of illness. It was Galahad and the other three who told the vizier that he was not actually ill, but rather cursed under the guise of such a curse. The vizier is now exposed as a cat in front of the three of them. "His wizard''s curse is powerful. It seems that by setting only one way to break the curse, he has made it powerful enough to be overridden. The method of breaking it is simple, but otherwise even the gods will not be able to break it. And the one who cast it - the one who knows how to do it from the beginning - cannot break the spell." "That''s a lot of trouble." Galahad shrugs lightly. "I''ve lost the use of my skills, but it''s far better than not being able to lift my head off the pillow. I can work as is. --Let''s get down to business. Why has your master made contact with you this time?¡¡I believe I heard that you have a policy of staying away from disputes between countries and nobles?" With a cat''s mouth and tongue, I do not know how he speaks, but his low voice is not unlike that of Prime Minister Alone. Despite his cute appearance, he does not tolerate lies, and his voice sounds a bit accusatory, depending on who you ask. "He doesn''t like to play games with the powerful, but he''s interested in the sealed beast. "Why?" The cat''s gaze sharpened. "Con ......" Galahad''s words were cut short when the man next to him elbowed him in the face and he tried to answer. He has his reasons. He has his reasons. I assure you he will not do anything to harm the world. And perhaps he is being aggressive this time out of concern for us. Ignoring Galahad, whose face is contorted in pain next to him, Eagle, with his elbow in his hand, replies in a brisk voice. "What were you going to say?" The cat ignores Eagle''s words and asks Galahad. "I said, ''And it comes with the extra bonus of saying ''kong-kong''." "......" The cat glared at the blatant excuse, but Galahad looked away as if he had given up when his mouth twisted into a grin. "Let''s give it a try." "Homura (Lengard) doesn''t like that kind of thing, you know?" "What? We''re just going to have you walk around some recently built landmarks. The information about the Spider came from God, didn''t it?¡¡Let me measure the depth of your favor." "Are we going to the prayer room?" The floor of the prayer room is a beautiful mosaic of stone tiles made by Gentile craftsmen that move according to the attributes of those who step on them. The attributes are strengthened by the affinities of birth, the spirits, and the blessings of the gods. "It is ......" "Is this bad for you?¡¡I don''t think it''s a surprise that you''ve met the gods, but you''re not on a mission to defeat the beast. The sound of a cat''s voice, which could be taken either as a sneer or a challenge. It is common knowledge that the gods often give us trials, but missions are given to those who have earned their favor. "No, he says he doesn''t have a mission." "I can''t complain if I suspect you of having an undesirable purpose in the past, if you are interested in a beast without a mission," he said. Galahad is at a loss for words, and the cat tells him that he has seen it all. "There may not be a mission, but there is favor, ...... for sure." "In all ages, I have never heard of a man being favored but not having a mission." "And that''s already an exception. ......" Galahad and Eagle look away and simmer. "I can''t bear to imagine the outcome, but let''s just give up and let them ride." "Oh, ......." "Yes, ......." Unlike the men who avert their gazes, Camilla smiles triumphantly. The cat nodded its head, comparing the three of them. 286 - - The Cat "Sorry!" Galahad came back and apologized to me right out of the gate. "What happened all of a sudden?¡¡Did the Prime Minister refuse you a visit?" He asks Galahad and the others at the door with cups of tea in their hands. "No, it''s not that..." "Apparently, they don''t trust us completely." "That''s understandable, since some horse''s ass from the neighborhood suddenly asked for a meeting with him because of his connections." "Homura ......" "What is it?" I look at Eagle, who is about to say something, but doesn''t seem to want to continue. And the eyes of the three looking at the unfortunate one, why? "My Lord, the Prime Minister''s suspicions are probably due to me, for I have had a certain amount of contact with Master Merlin. Perhaps he suspects that through me, Galahad and the others may be unknowingly following Lord Merlin''s intentions. Cal puts down his cup and says. "It may have been so (...) when we started to collect the ingredients for the medicine, in retrospect, regardless of Mr. Lancelot. And now you can''t be sure that you are not being manipulated. "If I hadn''t met Homura, I would have thought I was doing a good thing by making <> without questioning or advising her. It''s horrifying." "That''s quite a hassle." At any rate, I think cats are easy to care for. "The rest may be purely a lack of information. Prime Minister Alone has only recently been able to get out of bed. "Oh, well, there are rumors that you can get it right away." "Rumors?" "Won the team competition solo. He invokes the vision of Bahamut. Lord of Lancelot. He feeds the royal family of Fagat, says ......." Folding her white fingers, Camilla lists the rumors. "An oracle has come down from above the temple to forbid touching." What do you mean by touching? I rush into Galahad''s addition. "I''m sorry ......, but even I doubt it''s eyebrow-raising." "Oh my God, I was just saying that I don''t think this is a good idea either. I''m just saying." "And the fact is that the facts are worse than the rumors." "The information is old. These days the rumor is correct that you have a real one, not a phantom." Cal will correct me. I believe that the information was manipulated to say that Bahamut in the tournament was a phantom, as it would be confusing to reveal that the seal had been broken before we were not prepared. And I was told to keep quiet too, in this case, I wonder if I will be scolded by High Priest Kyle. ....... "Well, you''ll still get to meet the Prime Minister, right?" "But you will be tested." What? "How big is the favor of the gods?" "Yeah?" I don''t know what Galahad is talking about. "When I told him about the Imperial Spider, I told him that the source of my information was an oracle that had fallen upon an acquaintance of mine, so it''s not hard to connect him to Homura this time, along with other rumors. Meeting the gods at least brings blessings, and for better or worse, the temples have a great influence on the government and the people of this country. --It''s a country where if you have a favor, you have a mission, and you have to cooperate with the mission. He nods his head, troubled by Eagle''s words. I don''t have a mission. "At the time I didn''t think I''d get Homura involved in this, and I didn''t think he''d be the first to identify me. I''m sorry. "Now that more and more Gentiles have blessings, I don''t mind if they find out. How do you measure up? On the cobblestones, you know. Camilla told me how to measure on the cobblestones: ....... Even if we knew what to measure, the mystery increased. "In addition to that, Lord Alone is going to see the Lord with the ''seeing eye of Phal. It is more effective than my [Eye of Violence]." The eye of Kal was unstable in its activation, and while it could see hidden skills and titles, there was a risk that it would be affected by seeing if it was a charm or a curse. However, he seems to have been able to control it well recently and does not carelessly look at them anymore. "The Prime Minister can''t use his skills now. "You expect me to believe that?" Cal looks at Galahad with a wry smile. It certainly seems that at least the eye was usable as a cat. Like Ur-Lolo''s peppers, it may be different due to the time shift. ...... In that case, is it possible that the cat-ization is in progress or something like that? "Let''s just go. You''re being called, right?" "Yeah. Homura, you''d be surprised." Galahad grins and Camilla and Eagle smile. Don''t worry, I know they are cats. And in the office, when I opened the door, I saw a cat sitting on the desk with its eyes on the desk. The tail comes to rest on its matching paws! "Nyan!" When our eyes meet, the Prime Minister purrs in confusion. ""Nyaan!"" Galahad and Eagle, who had been grinning until they opened the door, are startled by the change. "What?¡¡Huh?" Camilla is puzzled. "Prime Minister~" Yay! "Lengard, you just said Prime Minister, didn''t you?" How do you know? "How do you know I''m a cat? Galahad and Camila sound surprised, or perhaps in a questioning tone, but only Cal''s voice is relaxed. "Softly, softly..." At any rate, I am through with it and pat the Prime Minister. I''d like to use hiragana instead of the kanji for soft and gentle, but hiragana seems softer. "Why is the Prime Minister pretending to be a cat? "You were talking earlier!¡¡Why are you rumbling!" "Mister Alone, you''re not very good at imitating meows." "That''s the point, old man!" The outside world is noisy, but I''m busy enjoying the softness of the cat. "Hey, Lengard!¡¡Stop!" The other party is the Prime Minister! I know what he looks like, but I can''t help picturing him! If you want a pat on the back, you''ve got Black! I was about to pick him up, but he waited. Aside from petting them, neither black nor white would let me pick them up unless I felt like it. Maybe they don''t like to be restrained, or to have their physical freedom restricted. On the other hand, the Prime Minister will let you hold him. "Black and white are both cute. But cats are good, too. As soon as he said that, he was right on the money. When the white smoke cleared, there was an old man. "......" "......" We looked at each other for a long time. "My Prime Minister is ......" I''m so devastated, I''d like to throw myself into the air. "Lord, should I get a cat for the general store?" "No, I can''t go out there." I am cared for by Cal and Camilla with a worried hand on my back. "Oh my God, I''m going to call out for tiles later. So, why is the Prime Minister back?" Galahad throws me a few words of consolation, then turns to the vizier. The cat is replaced by a gray-haired figure with nervous eyes and a stubborn mouth. I tell myself that I was safe ...... before I picked him up, that yes, I was safe. "The condition for lifting the spell was to touch the body and say something similar to <> while sincerely thinking about it." Prime Minister Alone says with a resentful look on his face. "In the case of Homura (Lengard), though, it wasn''t <>, but <>. ......" Eagle looking subtly at the vizier and a little far away . "Is it a requirement that I allow you to take the form of a cat?" "If I could use my shape-shifting magic, I''d turn into a cat sometimes." Voices in my ear from the left and right. "At any rate, let me thank you. I thank you." The Prime Minister bows his head slowly toward us. "By the way, why are you imitating a cat?" "......, you ask that?" The prime minister makes a face like "Ugh" and is at a loss for words at Kal''s question. "For some reason, as soon as I saw his face, I felt I had to do that. It would make him happy. ....... I don''t know how I felt at that moment." He looks very embarrassed. "How did Lengard know the Prime Minister?" "From Fluff''s network." During the event, Eagle knew that the Prime Minister was a cat. At any rate, we confirmed by e-mail to Yuni that he is a cat at the moment. I recall that the reply was not interested, saying that since he is a cat for the time being, if he likes it, he should just blow on it. He only gets passionate when he talks about his ideal girl, and in this world where he is playing the role of an ideal girl, but in the real world, he is quite dry. "Fluffy ......" "That''s a strange network of information, man." Eagle looking puzzled and Galahad looking dismayed. "Aside from the names, it seems that the information is fast and accurate, and that some things that should be kept secret are conveyed accurately." "The extent of Lengard''s association with Ur-Lolo is quite a mystery, isn''t it?" "I''m so tired. I thought the confusion would come later." Galahad looks dejected. "As expected of Lancelot-sama, he''s a man of his word." "I was uncomfortable with the Lord''s willingness to approach the powers that be, even though he was involved with a beast. The situation I just described makes more sense to me." Cal responds to Eagle''s words with a simple, "I''m not a fan of the Eagle. "Lord, we''re moving on to the Mosaic you''ve been looking forward to. --I''m sorry about the cat. Cal, speaking to me and guiding the Prime Minister with his eyes, says to me. "You can''t see, huh? I thought you''d never raise an eyebrow. ....... At least it''s true that the knight of the lake is in your service. The Prime Minister stands at the guide''s side, looking at us with eyes that seem to be slightly surprised and stinky. We walk along the semicircular corridor. The outer side of the circle is lined with spire arches and lighted windows. On the inside, there are evenly spaced niches in the walls, which in the real world are hollows in the walls used to house sacred images, and statues of deities that are attached to the gods and goddesses of the household. Although one side is a wall, the circular ceiling is high and beautiful in form and does not feel suffocating. "It''s unusual because there are usually windows and openings on the inside (this side)." "Only a few are allowed to enter the courtyard. The small temple in the center is also a chapel where the king-to-be is alone on the eve of his coronation. If you want to know a little more, you can browse the archives in the temple''s library. The prime minister gave an unexpectedly detailed explanation. At first glance, he seemed stubborn and nervous, but he was surprisingly friendly. However, when our eyes meet, they are subtly averted, and I''d like to forget what happened when we were both cats. "I think the only thing he said to me when I was a cat was to go to the library. "I think the chit-chat was cut to the quick." Galahad and Eagle are arguing in the background. "I wonder if we can fit this many people in the prayer room?" Camilla tilts her head, her soft hair slipping over her shoulders. "It''s too small, isn''t it?" "What we are showing to the public is only a prototype. The one we''re going to now is in the hall in the back section leading to the saint''s shrine." I was told that it was a small room for private prayer, but apparently there is a larger mosaic. "Oh, at last some of the secrets of the four have been revealed. I know Galahad and the others have Asha''s blessings and blessings, but to what degree, or Kal''s blessings, or this! "That way? "I was wondering why you''re floating around so subtly." "I''m not trying to hide it, but it''s a little embarrassing to be seen when you put it like that." "Lord ......, if you''d just asked, I''d show you everything." "......" Listening to our conversation, the Prime Minister''s fingers move restlessly. The result of the cloak test [I have a feeling that I''m not good enough. Hand armor appraisal results [......mm] 287 - - The Mosaic The hall we were taken to had many pillars and a high vaulted ceiling supported by pillars. Large windows are placed high in the hall and let in bright light. The round window with stained glass in front is called a rose window. And the floor... "Is it more plain than I thought?" Tiles of various sizes and shapes. They do not appear to be fired clay, but rather eight different types of stone, thinly shaved. They are laid out in an irregular pattern. "This is the masterpiece of the Gentiles, loved by the god of cobblestones." When the Prime Minister stepped into the room, the floor made a small tinkling sound like a coral wind chime, and the floor rippled. A mosaic flower blooms at the Prime Minister''s feet. The deep sea-blue and silver stones, blackish yet transparent, have made a pattern by moving closer to the Prime Minister, making a sound that is pleasant to the ears, as they are swept away by the stones of other colors. The small sea-colored flowers with pointed petals and silver leaves make an exquisite and regular mosaic pattern. "It seems that this stone is a mechanism that attracts compatible attributes, and as a result, we can measure the blessings of God." A clear sound followed the Prime Minister as he moved further into the hall to make room for us. The flowers follow the Prime Minister as he walks, almost unraveling for a moment, then quickly coming together again. "Lord Alone is the favorite of Phal!" "If you live with nothing, you don''t go as far as drawing a pattern." With that, Eagle and Camilla step into the hall. "Oh!" Red, gold, and silver flowers bloom instantly. The flowers at Camilla''s feet are bright red, with gold and silver coloring the outside of the red stone. A large flower, typical of camilla. The pattern of the eagle is not only flowers, but also ivy, which is not flashy but beautiful. Camilla is blessed by Asha and Verus, or is it Verna''s blessing?¡¡The eagle''s flowers are also mixed with sea colors, which may be a blessing of Asha and Verus, or of Fal Verna.¡¡Camilla''s red stone is more than that of the eagle and less than that of the vizier''s black stone, so it is difficult to determine whether it is a favor or a blessing. Is it a protection? Hmm?¡¡Does this mean that the Prime Minister has not only the favor of Fal, but also another blessing or blessing in terms of quantity? Verna, judging from its color? I''m a bit confused because the amount of the same blessing seems to be different as far as Galahad and his friends are concerned. Well, it seems to be a compatibility with the attribute or the degree of love. "Hmmm?¡¡Of course, it is more than the blessing of the fire god Asha, but the blessing of light as well. --And silver. The Prime Minister gazes at the patterns created by the two men with admiration. "I called myself a knight of Asha''s garden, you know. As Galahad stepped into the hall, a simple pattern of red, gold, and silver was formed. The red stones were mainly near Galahad, with most of the gold and silver on the outside. A fiery red. Is the pattern a result of his temperament or original compatibility?¡¡The eagle has more red stones, but the black stones are gathered quite a bit on the side. The shape of Galahad is simple, while Eagle''s is intricate. "All three have very typical patterns. They''re so cool!" If you throw in all the clansmen, the pattern would be amazing. "Me too, then." The floor ripples as Cal steps in, black and gold rushing over him. Small flowers bloomed among the larger ones, quite showy!¡¡Look closely and you can also see yellow and silver. The stones seem to be green for wood, red for fire, yellow for earth, white for gold, black for water, translucent blue-silver for wind, gold for light, and silver for darkness, although the colors of the stones vary slightly from clear to dull. The stones gathered at the feet of four people seem to glow faintly. As usual, I still tend to think that water is blue, but water of the five elements is black. ....... I guess this is the color of the sea in cold regions. I imagine tropical sea for healing, but the sea of Denmark in "The Little Mermaid" is also black like the Sea of Japan. Trees are originally blue, but can be replaced by green. I don''t know if this is unique to Japan, where green has been in the blue range since ancient times, or if it is the same in the original. Black also has blue in it, and I wonder if it was adopted based on the image. And it''s not the five elements when the wind is included. "Old man, you''re Verus'' favorite after all!" Kalu passes over Galahad''s quip with a smile like a spring sunbeam. "...... the knight of the lake seems to have a complicated pattern." The prime minister says in a slightly hard voice. "It''s beautiful." Cal''s smile deepened when I gave my honest opinion. And Dru is a blessing and Verna is a blessing?¡¡It seems to be less quantity than Dru (Kiiro) ......?¡¡When you were talking to Reno, didn''t he say that even a blessing is unbeatable for a sword-bearer?¡¡But is this the reason why the shield skill is so powerful, Dru gave me the shield skill. Verna, you know, I met her twice, but I don''t think she has reached the blessing ......?¡¡It makes sense that he would not like it if he had Verus''s favor. It seems that it is very hard to get more than a blessing if you have a blessing for an attribute that is not compatible with it or a skill in that line. Even players sometimes get only protection even if they meet many times. --I wonder why I have a favor complete ....... "Hmm?¡¡If you look closely, do they all have all the colors?" Although very few, there are one or two stones of black or yellow in the pattern of Galahad, mixed in with the edges of the pattern. I noticed this because of the simplicity of the pattern, but upon closer inspection, I realized that the eagle and camilla also have all the colors. Note that the pattern of Kalu is too large to be fully confirmed. The only people who do not have them are gentiles and babies. Those who live in this world will have all attributes, regardless of their quantity. Those who do not will live a cursed life where the fire is cold and the wind is soft. The Prime Minister announces with a stern look on his face. By the way, it''s my turn, but I don''t suppose I''ll suddenly be the only one with stripes, do I?¡¡I step in quietly, feeling a little nervous. Stones are rushing toward me. The small sound is now as loud as a wave, and the stones undulate like living creatures. It''s a little scary! Arabesque paintings all over the floor of the hall. The pattern spreads out like a flower from the foot of the floor, changing its shape as you walk, spreading silently and changing the entire pattern. "The whole floor is covered with patterns, isn''t it? Galahad''s disgusted look on his face was right: the visible area was filled with the pattern. "I expected that. ......" "Oh, Galahad''s pattern has changed. Me and Eagle have a little ......" "It seems to have changed in a way that blends well with the Lord''s pattern." Now that you mention it, it looks like a picture, including the patterns of Kal and the others. Only the pattern of the Prime Minister seems to float in the background. "It''s interesting how the pattern changes as you walk around. "I''m not going to change, am I?" Camilla walked around and showed me, and it is true that flowers of the same shape move together like a pin spotlight, but the shape does not change. "Why is that?" When I move, the patterns on the floor change like a kaleidoscope. "Hmm. I''d love to dance with you in this hall." "Sounds like fun, but I can''t dance, can I?" Camilla reaches out her hand to me, and I take it in my hand and spin her around. I don''t think the average Japanese person has a chance to dance the waltz. Can we do a folk dance like the Oklahoma mixer or the Jenka? "Shall I teach you?¡¡It''s handy to learn one simple one, in case of emergency." "Cal looks good, dancing." You''re so handsome. And about the fact that the time of need is now. "But what are the conditions under which the pattern changes?" Then he looks at the Prime Minister and gets no reaction. "Prime Minister?" I called out to him, but he didn''t respond. "Well, they either scream or freeze up." "I''m afraid I''m getting used to it." Galahad says it sincerely, and Eagle nods his head. "Oh, you were terrible in the Oval Office." "I''ve learned to anticipate the mistakes in terms of ability, but not in terms of behavior!" They posed as if they couldn''t help me! "I''m afraid we''re not going to have much to talk about at this point." Cal then claps his hands in front of the Prime Minister''s face. "You idiot ......! You can''t measure the depth of God''s favor! "I don''t like it when you talk like that. "Why, even the Goddess of Darkness ....... I can''t help but think that she was given the same gift in her incarnation as I was, Master Lancelot. What did I do to deserve such a ......, this is just like ......, just like ......." The Prime Minister opens his mouth, but he has not come to his senses and is talking to himself with his eyes glued to the floor. "By the way, the Goddess of Darkness is a god whose name is not even mentioned: ....... I thought I was untainted, but when did I get used to it ......?" "Give it up." Galahad happily taps Eagle on the shoulder, who is aghast for some reason. "I didn''t think the emphasis would go that way now either. ......" "It''s rare to see Lord Alone so emotional." Camilla looks puzzled and Cal still looks happy for some reason. I wonder what they are stepping on the floor for. "Prime Minister Alone, have I gained your trust now?" A test that reminds me of something, so I smile and ask. But don''t tell me that I don''t know what trust is for anymore. Since my cat has vanished like a phantom, I''ll ask you one more thing. "I would like you to tell me about the man of wonders if you could--" "No, I''m not listening. The Prime Minister has not returned from his maze of thoughts! I''m in trouble. Let''s try to kill a few people, shall we? "If you make a scene in the temple, won''t the priestly soldiers fly in?¡¡I can''t see him, but I don''t think it''s possible that the vizier doesn''t have an escort." If there were guards, wouldn''t they be frozen in place? "If it was a cat, I could have stroked it all I wanted." Alone! While the five of us were sitting at a table drinking tea, a boy soprano called out the Prime Minister''s name from a different opening than the one we had entered. I looked toward the voice and saw the floor, and a boy and an elderly woman looking at me in surprise. "Ha!¡¡Lady Hadil, Lady Sylvia." The vizier finally realized what was going on and called out their names as they came in. "What is this?" "This is ......." The Prime Minister looks at us as he is about to say something. Then he looks at me, still holding his cup of tea. Thank goodness he''s not chewing a tart with his mouth wide open. "What''s going on?" The trap of being asked with a straight face. "No, I just got a little bored, you know?" On the table was the tea that Kal had made and the afternoon tea dishes that I had prepared. Cal had requested me to prepare it because the pastries he had eaten before meeting the Prime Minister were not so good, and Galahad said he was hungry. A three-tiered stand with plates, dessert on the top, hot food on the second tier, and sandwiches on the bottom. The cucumber sandwich was popular among the nobles to show off the fresh vegetables from their manors. I am disappointed to think that the tea party is also a show of the nobles'' wealth, but I like the high tea set because it looks gorgeous. The sandwiches served now are a butter roll sandwich with ham and arugula, and a focaccia sandwich with crab salad. 288 - - The Black Beast "Alone, you really are back!" The presumptive Hadil runs happily up to the Prime Minister. At his feet is a silver arabesque. "I came to see you after receiving your report - have you finished your story?" The presumed Lady Sylvia does not enter the hall from the cloister, but checks in. Compared to Hadil, who is cheerful and boyishly bright, she seems fragile but thoughtful. I do not intend to know the attributes of the higher-ups in the country, nor to infer from them the skills they possess. However, I think that it is better to hide some of their skills from the public to be a trump card in case of emergency, and on the other hand, it may be more advantageous for those who are in leadership positions to reveal their skills. My guess based on his attributes is that he is favored by water, favored by Phal, Phal is also the god of love, but Dru is the god of marriage and family, and so on, which is the only category that Kal, High Priest Kyle, and the Prime Minister are categorized in. I don''t say what category. If Val''s blessing is with him, he becomes a womanizer, but if he is single, he is single-minded and once he falls in love, he can''t go on to the next one even if he loses his love. Is he blessed by the gods because he was originally like that, or is he like that because he has the blessing? According to Al of Fast, there are two types of patterns: the first is that the spirits like you because of your character and behavior, and the gods become interested in you when they see you gather together, and the second is that they are drawn to you because of your nature after the gods'' blessings are given to you. At any rate, Kal with Dru''s blessing is out of the picture!¡¡Congratulations!¡¡--You''re a family man, a handsome family man. I drink the tea that Cal has brewed for me while thinking about such trivial matters. The Prime Minister asks me what I''m doing, and I drink it before it gets cold, since I''m dealing with a half-crying, overjoyed boy. "I''m really getting used to it." "Why the somber look there?" Eagle is spreading clotted cream on a scone with a very serious face. It''s thicker and richer than whipped cream, and the sweet and sour jam, which is orthodox but not overcooked and still retains the shape of strawberries, is irresistible on the scones. It is moist enough to make it soft and flaky, but not so moist that it robs the mouth of moisture. "Well, I guess it''s okay to be free now that we''re out of the vertical society, isn''t it?" "I think we need to be polite, but you left it a little too long. Mmm, delicious." Camilla brings to her mouth a scone that is stacked like a folded pie and then unmolded to form layers. They are moist and fluffy things called cookies in the U.S., or to put it simply, what you get in Kentucky. Drizzled with maple honey. "It''s party conversation, and I don''t want to interrupt Your Highness and Mr. Alone. Excuse me, you''ve recently acceded to the throne and are now His Majesty." Bust!¡¡You''re the king. £¡£¡£¡£¡£¡¡¡I thought he was a shadow of his former self!¡¡If he was recently replaced, did something happen to the previous king? "My lady, Princess Sylvia is your half-sister. The former king was frail and had only two children, so I''m told he''s been in hiding ever since he abdicated." The former king is a shadow of his former self! "In this country, a blessed saint may be queen, but in that case, she marries a royal and her business seems to be that of the royal family. The authority of the prime minister is also strong, and this is a very special country. "Well, I don''t think it''s possible to suddenly run a country without being educated." The size of the budget, the customs that people don''t like to change, and so on. It''s good to break taboos with new ideas, but it''s hard to get all sides to come to an agreement. The shortcake we are eating was requested by Cal and Camilla. I also like this classic cake. By the way, behind the woman, Yuni and her group are stuck in the corridor. Isn''t the number of clan members increasing again? No, are there usually priest soldiers from this country in the mix?¡¡In any case, people are moving in and out of the corridor. And there is Yuni behind Princess Sylvia and in front of a group of soldiers or knights. The high tea set looks good even if it is poorly arranged, as long as it is placed according to the rules. Recently, when I put out the cat-leg table, Camilla puts out the tablecloth and Cal puts out the flowers, so it''s elegant. "Excuse me. You have restored Alone to its original state, haven''t you?¡¡Thank you." "Oh ....... Never mind." I would have rather had a cat, but the smile and the words hurt me. King, please stop looking at me with a teary-eyed smile.¡¡There are negotiations between nations and bargaining with the nobles, right? No, I''m not going to get into the fact that I''m having tea before that, so I''m just going to sit there and drink it - isn''t that disrespectful, to put it mildly. The king is still standing. Eagle and Camilla are standing when King Hadil approaches. "Good for you." "Yes, please teach me the sword again." Galahad stands up and talks to him happily, and King Hadil smiles childishly. Galahad, who is a caring person, seems to have taken care of him in some way and missed him. "As a way of saying thank you, I can show you the location of the incense burner you are looking for - or what might be the location of the incense burner. "Your Majesty ......" The Prime Minister calls out a reproachful voice. "Alone, it is out of our hands. Alone, it is beyond our control. I know Alone is working hard to rebuild it now, but perhaps we are running out of time." "...... Is it a good thing that I was approached by a central figure in the counter-empire?" The vizier sighs to himself as King Hadil speaks of the weakening of his country without concealment. Even I, who am not well versed in the affairs of the world, have heard this story, so I feel that it is too late to hide it from the public. ...... No, it is possible that it is actually hidden from the public since my main sources of information are Kal and Galahad. And come to think of it, the ostensible purpose was to help the empire and seal the beast. And really, it''s a trap that I can''t stand up now, I''ve completely missed the timing. "The censer is in a place that can only be entered with the permission of royalty - or more precisely, a high ranking person - and the blessing of the Moon Goddess. But if the censer is moved, the protection of this place may be lost. "It''s going to be a long story." A test to get a chair out of the room. I''m also concerned about the people stuck in the corridor, but for now, I''d like to make this king stand up and do something about the situation I''m sitting in. "Please stay back." Was King Hadil also concerned?¡¡He calls out to the people stuck in the corridor to take their seats. Some of them stayed behind in spite of the king''s words, perhaps unsure about leaving the king together with those who were suspicious - mainly me. But the Prime Minister''s warning has made those who stayed behind disappear as well. We freshen up the food on the table, feeling happy for them, but not wanting to leave any leftovers. But enough of the sweets. The drink is elderflower champagne. Baked apples with cloves, prosciutto ham, cheese on a baguette. Shrimp au gratin quiche, crispy pie crust with chicken and mushrooms in white sauce and beef cubes with black pepper. And other things you can pick up with your hands for the time being. "Muscat ......?" "It''s a drink made from a little white flower called elderflower. It carbonates in the natural fermentation process, but when it ferments further, it turns into alcohol." Before King Hadil and I became alcohol, and after everything else we served had become alcohol. The secret is not to wash the elderflower, otherwise it will not ferment. The trick is not to wash the elderflowers; if you wash them, they will not ferment. The aroma is slightly sweet, similar to muscat, but the flavor is lost, so if you want to enjoy the aroma, it might be better to give up fermentation, make a syrup, and drink it with carbonated water. Oh, don''t worry, it was mainly Liddell who collected the freshly bloomed flowers. There are a few that I picked, too. I served them because they have a relaxing effect, but they also have whitening and diuretic effects. I recommend this drink for preventing a long meeting, but don''t drink it yourself. I have no other intention since this is a world without toilets. "Well, this is..." "Delicious!" After seeing the vizier take a sip of it, King Hadil took a sip of it, which was probably some kind of poison. "So the censer is ......" This one is delicious too!" "Hmm, this one is pretty good too." What is the guardian of this land? "The white sauce goes well with the dough!" "It looks so ordinary, why does it taste so different?" Conversation will not continue: £¡£¡£¡£¡£¡ "Give up until you''ve eaten your way through." Galahad picks at his food while drinking. "I remember the first time I had this dish. "My taste buds have become so accustomed to the food that a normal meal just isn''t enough." Camilla and Eagle sip their glasses as they watch King Hadil and his vizier. "Lord, I''d like to try that cake you just had." Oh, yes. You missed it, didn''t you?¡¡I think Cal is generally going at his own pace these days. "Excuse me, you were talking about the incense burner, weren''t you?" After a while, I finally got to hear what he had to say. The vizier looks a little embarrassed and awkward, and the king looks red and fidgety, as if he is very embarrassed. Thank goodness he is a boy king. It would not be a good picture if the king was an old man. "Why do they say that you lose your protection when you move the incense burner?¡¡What is protection anyway?" "There are guardian beasts deep beneath the earth. It hates man so much that it makes this place its home and shakes the earth every time it awakens from its shallow sleep." "What are you protecting that isn''t people?" For a moment, I wondered if I had mistaken a sealing beast for a guardian beast, but then I reconsidered that the thing being protected is not necessarily a human being. "There are guardian beasts that listen to people''s wishes. It is better to think of them as protecting this world and the balance of its attributes by being there, regardless of the activities of people. "I have heard that incense burners are used to put the guardian beasts to sleep more deeply. A few generations ago it was possible to get to the guardian beast''s side, but now the narrow path has collapsed and demons have appeared, so it is not easy to get to it. Even if we could get close, what will happen when the censer is moved and the guardian beast is awakened? ......" "But now there is a gentile staying here with a thing that can replace the incense burner. We have not been able to visit them deep underground because we do not have enough people with the blessing of the Moon Goddess, but we will get there if you will go with us. The Prime Minister looks around at us. The Prime Minister calls Verna the Moon Goddess. Verna is often confused with an evil goddess, and her existence is often erased, but this country seems to favor her. The king has the blessing of darkness, and I would not be surprised if an incarnation of Verna appears somewhere in this country, or rather in that off-limits area in the middle of it. "Either the enemy is strong or we have to split up to proceed!" "Both." The vizier answers Galahad''s question shortly. "I''ve seen a bird guardian called lran up close, but what exactly is this guardian here?" I have seen them up close, or rather fought them, but I am afraid I will be scolded if they are protected in this country. "The guardian beast here is..." "Ishvaan, the Black Beast, King of the Mystiffs." "Don''t be a fool!¡¡There is no king!¡¡The Mistiff has been ruled by a queen for generations! Before I could react to the words of the vizier and King Hadil, who had presumptuously told me his name, a black one came screaming out and zipped out of the room. A third party (?) came from an unexpected place. The vizier and King Hadil are frozen by the appearance of I''m sorry about my moray. 289 - - 287. My Suspicion, Uni-chans Suspicion "Mistiff ......?" "Oh, sorry. I hope you don''t mind." The black nose, still frozen in place, is pushed gently back into the pocket. He must have gotten a fright when he saw a stranger, although he had come out to say something. "Black, huh?" "We don''t get them very often, but we do get some non-brown ones." Most mystiffs are generally brown with short hair. "Are they not of the Ishvaan blood?" "I don''t know that much." Still, the name Vern somehow sounds familiar: ....... I''ll ask White about it later, since it sounds slightly different. As for gender, neither black nor white has a mate, so there should be none, right? "Wait, do you speak Mysphe?" As I was about to sink into my thoughts, King Hadil asked me with a puzzled look on his face. "Do you speak normally?" As I was about to finish, I realized that I had only exchanged words with White, Black, and Faria. Could it be that only powerful individuals can speak?¡¡Mistiff hates humans, and I have never asked him about it, thinking that he would not like me digging into it. "If it exists even though it is not under the moonlight, has it been enchanted by the hunters of Elan?" I will try to answer the questions that come up one after another in a casual manner. I will not tell you why Black is in the material world, nor his habits, nor of course that the Mystics are in my House. "Well?¡¡Does the hunter have such skills?" The hunters of Elan are a clan of five people I once put on [inclination]. On the contrary, when I asked the Prime Minister about them, he told me that they have skills against mystics, including one that prevents them from moving from this material world to the spirit world for a certain period of time. King Hadil was shocked that the mystics could speak human language and froze. The king''s shock is that he had never thought that he was hunting a creature that can communicate with people. Even if you can''t communicate with them, don''t touch them unilaterally, and don''t say what you are saying when there is a possibility of a battle between the same kind of people. Good luck, boy!¡¡Good luck with your education, Vizier!¡¡For a king, you''ve got a whole lot of expression on your face! And Cal, stop pointing your smirk at me!¡¡This is supposed to be directed at the boy king!¡¡It''s like he''s reading my mind, and I can''t help but feel slightly annoyed! "May I return to the subject? Eagle puts down his glass and looks at the Prime Minister. "--Mystiff." "Oh." I see. Then we have enough to do on our own. "We have to take two equal routes under the temple, don''t we have enough people?" The boy king joins Camilla and Eagle as they exchange words with the Prime Minister. A small sound is heard at my feet. I notice that the pattern is changing from my feet. "You want me to take the guys who were looking at me from the cloister?¡¡It would be more efficient if we split up on our own, wouldn''t it?" Galahad''s words were a bit provocative as he brought the drink to his lips. "No, I don''t think so!" "Hadil-sama." The vizier calls the boy king''s name quietly, as if he were chiding him for strengthening his tone. "If you want to practice bargaining, do it somewhere else. Galahad, who is usually so generous, is unusually a bit grumpy. Since this country has the right to enter the basement, it would have been enough if he had given the condition that the two groups go together, but he seemed to want to play a subtle game of games with them. I have no idea what he was trying to bargain for, but I could tell that he was trying to bargain. The inflection of voice is important, as well as facial expressions. "What do you want to do, sir?¡¡It seems you want us to ask him to accompany you." Oh, you wanted me to come out of the woodwork and ask for help. I don''t mind if you and Yuni and the others go on a joint front, but I''m more concerned about something else. "Is the guardian beast''s name really Ishvan?¡¡Isn''t it Aldvaan?" Galahad puts down his cup and turns to face us. I guess I startled him with my lowered voice without realizing it. The boy king gulps as they suddenly straighten their posture. "<>" "<>" Looking at the Prime Minister, he traces the words in his memory and tells him. The hunter of Elan once said these words to me. --< The sound of a mosaic shuffling and moving echoes through the silent halls. "I hear that the souls of the mystics are kept in the censer stored in the basement. --But we are not offering a new sacrifice. Those of us who are related to the guardian beasts recognize that the souls of the mystiffs from the days of Hasfarn''s destruction long ago have been collected." "Mi, Mistiffs are supposed to be protected by law in this country. They are not to be harmed, except by the leader of the group that was just here, who has not been seen in years!" I don''t remember threatening him, but the boy king was a little teary-eyed. "It''s quite a big place, isn''t it?" The courtyard where the small temple is located, as Yuni-chan said, is so large that it cannot be called a garden. It looks like a castle or two could be built here. "There is a guardian beast under here. Some people say that it is extravagant to have nothing in the center of the country these days, but if the guardian beast moves, this area will fall. The vizier leads the way with his magic-lit cantera, and a young priest follows at the rear, also carrying a cantera. The old temple, located in the center of the courtyard, is said to open only at night, so we waited for the sun to set before leaving. We silently followed behind, thinking that there was a rational reason besides legends, miracles, and the like for this place being considered sacred and forbidden. In the end, we decided to attack together with Yuni and the others. Princess Sylvia led the way for Yuni''s party, and a priestess who looked like a scholar followed my party. It was the other side who had already flagged me, and I guessed that they would have raised their liking level for me. The number of people in the party is not counted, and the color of the priests on the map is the color of the target to be escorted. I''m not good at protecting them, but since Cal is there, I''m ready to push them. We enter the temple, thinking that it is indeed the first time to defeat a princess. The small temple had only one room with a heavy dark blue velvet-like curtain in front. If it was made like this, there must be a statue of the god behind the curtain. As soon as the Prime Minister entered, the candles attached to the pillars and walls of the temple lit up in response to the cantera, making the inside bright. "Why is it hidden?" Yuni asks the same question. From what we''ve seen so far, the god''s statue here is probably Verna. Unlike Verus, who destroyed his own statue in a fit of anger, Verna''s temple and god''s statue were destroyed by human hands. The temple is full of secrets that only certain people are allowed to enter, probably hidden by thick curtains and the silence of the people involved in the time of confusion with the evil god. The situation of the temple hidden by the curtains reminds me of the last scene of A Dog of Flanders. The last church that was hidden by the curtains was Rubens'' church, wasn''t it? "Sadiras is by no means a land of evil gods." I was just thinking about the poor Patrush, not about the humans, and the story was going on. It seems that Yuni and his friends are making allegations against the princess and the prime minister. I wonder if I would have had the same suspicions if I had followed the storyline properly. "If you don''t mind, why don''t you show us the statue of the god?¡¡She is the Goddess of Darkness, isn''t she?" If the condition for going underground is the blessing or blessing of the moon goddess, then the people here must have met Verna or an incarnation of Verna. I want to go to the dungeon as soon as possible, so please solve this problem. How do you know? I know the Dark Goddess is not an evil goddess. It is pointless to hide it." I did not answer the princess''s question, but said it appropriately. The player equates the goddess of darkness with the evil goddess, and is likely to be pleased with the blessing of the evil goddess as usual. However, it would not be the case with Yunika. The Prime Minister opened the curtain and a statue of Verna made of pale stone appeared from behind it. The color and material of the stone are cold and hard, but the impression given by the statue is soft. The sculptor must have been very skillful. "Long ago, people equated the goddess of darkness with an evil god and destroyed temples and statues of deities. Having given up on the people, the goddess disappeared and only incarnations remained. If you met her incarnation, you would only recognize her as the Moon Goddess. I did not seem to be upset when I mentioned the Goddess of Darkness, and I wondered if her favor had been bestowed directly upon me. Well. That''s how it was set up!¡¡I''ve rather only met the main body: £¡£¡£¡£¡¡¡At any rate, the stares are painful. "The God of Darkness and Light, the Goddess of Darkness, who has been hidden from sight, has returned to this place ......" The princess, who seems to be trembling with emotion, says with tears in her eyes, while the people in the general store are turning away from her with all their might. "Homraaaaaaahhhh £¡£¡£¡£¡£¡" "I inadvertently accepted it as normal: ....... Don''t tell me I''m getting off on it too......?" "It was a long time ago, it''s not that important. Maybe ......." The party conversation is going in a direction that sounds like it''s my fault. It''s not my fault!¡¡Shouldn''t be. Even though the content of the party conversation is incomprehensible to anyone but the party, the three of you are very dexterous in shouting it out without showing it in your faces. "Can you show us the way to the basement?¡¡You won''t be able to get back before nightfall." Cal urges with a smile, "I''m glad you''re cool. 290 - - The Underground of the Temple As the Prime Minister stepped forward in front of the statue, three magic circles appeared on the floor. They are arranged to form an equilateral triangle with the magic circle with the Prime Minister at its apex. "To each magic circle! At the Prime Minister''s words, I enter the magic circle. The four of us, myself, the grocer, the priest to be escorted, and Black. In the next magic circle are Yuni, four knights of the constellation who know each other, a stranger, the escorting princess ......, and Mistiff. They seem to get along well with each other, grooming each other on Yuni''s shoulder. Our furballs fight when they see each other, but why? I thought that White would be a sealed beast, and Black would become a member as long as his liking level is high like the spirit pattern that followed him on a whim, but I have a feeling that Black will officially join the group! "He who invokes the Mistiff must invoke it before the transition. Please be aware that this is the first and only time you will be allowed to enter the temple basement with Misty. The Prime Minister''s words made me think that there was going to be an event with the Mistyphs that I had with me, and then a large number of Mistyphs appeared in the magic circle next to me. The one on Yuni''s shoulder moves to the shoulder of the Gemini knight, and brown, supple figures appear on the shoulders of the other knights. Fluffy heaven! The boy king was talking as if only the representative of the group - Yuni - had a mystiff, but either he misunderstood or he dared to say it wrong. Well, I guess it was the former. If it was the latter, it makes no sense since they know now, and Mistyf doesn''t want to be seen in public in the first place. Yuni smiles happily at the Mistiffs who appear. The knights grinning at her (and others around them) pretend they don''t see it. "Black, black, there are so many Mistyphs!" "...... Hun." I called out to Black in a whisper and poked him on his clothes, but for some reason he replied without concern. I wondered if it was because the event was in progress. I haven''t been able to talk to Yuni properly since I came to Sadiras, because there is always a knight around. I won''t get involved, I won''t get involved!¡¡When we exchanged patocas, it was before Yuni joined the clan, so we had time to spare, but with someone around at all hours of the day, it was a bit difficult to interact with each other. I was nervous about what would happen if I were to give out some information about Yuni. The other day, she told me a shocking fact and I was so shocked. I thought he was in the second group because he seemed to be busy with his work on the release date of this game, but he said without changing his expression, "That''s one thing, but I couldn''t enter until my birthday". I couldn''t help but butt in. He really wanted to make her an eternal minor, but he had inadvertently told the Sagittarius knight or something his set age (????) a few years ago, and he had to come of age out of sheer determination. I''ve interacted with the Sagittarius, the Twins and the Goat in every game, and I know they are good guys, so I can''t stand to keep quiet about it, but I don''t want to ruin their dreams by telling them. I feel at peace not to get involved as much as possible these days. "The underground is a special kind of ground, and only trained priests and Princess Sylvia can communicate with each other. And if you miss the enemy on the one hand, the enemy will increase in the next section on the other hand. It will be difficult to reach the guardian beast without cooperation. Mistiffs remain in this world only during the night, and we must complete our dialogue with the guardian before the dawn. The time attack is not yet known, as it depends on the depth and complexity of the underground. "Underground is the world of Ishwaan, and it is not easy for man. Go with caution." The Prime Minister''s staff hit the floor with a clunk, and the transition began. "My name is Suig, the priest who has been asked to guide us, and I look forward to working with you. After the transition, the priest introduces himself. The area around the bellows is surrounded by darkness. There is no sign of water, and the stones are blackish in color, so they are probably not the stalactites of the real world, but they look just like the ones in the real world, with bar-like stones hanging from the top and stalagmite-like shapes growing from the bottom. We have night vision, so we don''t have to worry about lights, but Suig has a cantera. Illuminated by the cantera, the dark caverns took on a different color. Only one of the paths, which already divides into three directions, is white in the darkness. "The way forward is this white path. If you take any other path, you will be returned to the temple, so please be careful not to stray. "Yes, let''s go, shall we?" We saw Galahad and the others nodding and stepped onto the white road. The white road is only recognizable because it is surrounded by black, but in reality it is a light gray color. There is a low sound in the distance, as if the wind is blowing in from somewhere. "Come here, white." "Hmm, you finally called out, didn''t you?" White appears in front of me, about the size of a large dog. "White ......! The cantera shakes and the illuminated scenery shakes as if Sweig was startled by the white. "There were a lot of people here just now. I''d like to ask you something..." "Oops!¡¡You''re early, we have a visitor." Galahad, with his sword at the ready, looks somewhat amused. As they advance, Galahad tries to talk with them, but the enemy has already appeared. White starts to run. Mistiff has gone into battle himself!¡¡I thought you couldn''t call them to come underground in the first place." While Sweig is mumbling, the battle has begun, and White, who has also spread an anomaly to the enemy, is already about to move on. The enemy is a black, writhing ant with horns on its body. "Wait a minute!¡¡Aren''t there a lot of enemies? "Why are there so many of them all of a sudden? Galahad slashes at the confused enemies, and Camilla unleashes her magic. "I don''t know, I remember this phenomenon. Eagle strikes an enemy who leaks from their attack. "White, wait!¡¡The only way through here is the road whitened by the cantera!" And I rushed after White. "Galahad, carry this!" "What?¡¡This is a priest £¡£¡£¡£¡" "Hyaaaaaaaaaaaaa!" I thought I heard the voices of Cal and Galahad behind me, and with a strange cry, the dark path was illuminated and a white path became visible. Thank God there is no fork in the road at the moment. "White, at least use [black] for protection." "It''s useless because you can''t hit it!" <, and we beat them without losing White. I think they are stronger than those in Ran, but I wonder if the recommended level is lower in . "White, right!¡¡Right!" At any rate, he tells White, who is ahead of him, the right way and releases a thunderbolt. This is absolutely crazy! "U....... I don''t feel good ......." "Be careful, Priestess. Apparently, the cantera only works if you have it." "Geez!¡¡Don''t be so cool! "Reminds me of what happened in the labyrinth: ......" "I wonder what it''s like to be a mystiff who has to use [inducements] to fight?" "Eagle!¡¡You''re going to have to carry me! No. What''s going on back there?¡¡I want to turn around to see what''s going on, but I can''t because I''m afraid I''ll lose White if I take my eyes off him. I have a feeling that the priest might be unhappy, but I can''t turn around. Well, I don''t have time for that, so there''s nothing I can do! Without looking behind as fast as we can - no, we chase after the white while brushing off the enemy. "What a dead end!" Sniffling, White stands in front of the wall. "White, this is a dungeon where you have to cooperate with the other party going the other way. It''s not efficient! He looks behind him for the first time, soothing the pouting White. Oh yeah. A priest is being carried by Galahad with a deathly look on his face. He is carried on his shoulders with a smiling Kal by his side. Eagle and Camilla stop walking with a sigh and lower their weapons. "Hey, Homura (Lengard), let''s not let them run free, okay?" "Sorry." How did I become so belligerent? Priestess, tell the princess we''ve arrived. Yes, sir. As Galahad dropped Sweig off, Cal asked. Sweig looked more out of breath and more tired than Galahad, who had carried him all the way here. "White, you''re putting others at risk by running out so suddenly, check first to see if you can level up. And I''ve got black in my pocket! "Well, with you around, I''m sure I''ll be fine." The white one became smaller and climbed onto my shoulder. Oh, the softness of his fur against my cheek. "He''s got you all wrapped up, doesn''t he?" "Before that, why are you aware that leveling up is ah(...)?" I hear Camilla and Eagle arguing. White will listen to me once I tell him, but I must give the same warning to Kuzunoha. "We''ve made contact. He was very, very surprised. The shortness of breath seems to have subsided, but Swig remains seated. "Well, it''s too soon." Galahad says in a disgusted voice as he leans against a large sword that he has thrust into the ground. "Dash, dash!" Camilla''s shoes are like pinwheels, and I wonder how she can run on such a bad terrain. "Sorry, I''ll make you some tea." He picks a flat spot and sets out a table. "I''d rather eat rice instead of tea, and I don''t want any more sweets today. Yeah, we''ve been having sweets and tea. "I''ll do the liberation technique first. Sweig gets up and begins to trace the wall with his fingers, and white lines appear on the black wall, following his fingers, creating an intricate pattern. < to light it up, but I think I''d better wait until I''m done. < For chopstick rest, I served a refreshing red and white namasu with daikon radish and carrots, and spicy marinated mushrooms. Miso soup with wakame seaweed and tofu. White and black tea. "Oh, can I have some too?" "Feel free to do so?" No, you wouldn''t let one person eat under these circumstances, would you?¡¡What kind of devil are you? Suig sits down on the chair with a bit of happiness, and we eat. "Oh, I like rice better than bread. Galahad eats deliciously. "I''ve never been in the habit of eating raw eggs, but I love the sweetness involved." I''m glad that Camilla eats well for a woman who doesn''t like to eat. "Sorry, Homura, can you give me a spoon?" Eagle is dexterous, but seems to have trouble putting together a bowl of rice that falls apart. Galahad seems to have no problem with it, as he eventually dips his mouth into the bowl and gobbles it down. And the man who even eats his bowl of rice with grace stops for a moment when he notices a carrot mixed in with the namasu. Suig takes a bite and sighs, but he remains frozen and not moving. The chopsticks seem to have turned into a pair of grip chopsticks, and I gently put the spoon down in his hand. Now, when it comes time for after-dinner tea, I have to talk to Bai. 291 - - The Impression of Mistiff "White, have you ever heard of Ishvan?" It''s a name I''ve missed. A mystiff like any mystiff, a strong one, but one that doesn''t like conflict and prefers silence. A twin to the quarrelsome Aldvaan, they are opposites on the inside, but they look exactly alike on the outside." When I asked White about it after he had finished his tea, he sounded a little happy and told me. Black, who does not move very much, stirred, perhaps wondering how long White has been in existence. I''d like to ask him about the theory that Mistiff has been queen for generations, but we''ll talk about that later. Considering that he was asked to introduce himself as White instead of Hasfarn before, he would like to keep it a secret. Considering that the telepathic message was also leaked to Reno, it is probably out now that the telepathic black is in his belly. "He''s in the back here." Either one. Is it Ishvaan or Aldvaan that awaits us in the depths of the earth? When people say they look exactly alike, I feel like I''m being flagged as a replacement, which makes me skeptical. "Oh, you''re alive!¡¡I''d like to meet him. --I''m sure I''ll be lectured as soon as I see you. Fidgety and restless on his knees, waving the white, still nice to the touch. "If Ishvaan is alive and well, do you know if he knows where Aldvaan is?" Hmm?¡¡White''s voice sounds happy when he subtly mentions Aldvarne''s name. Because of the hunter''s words, I had somehow identified him as an evil mystiff, no? "And yet you''re not there yet?¡¡You''ve been resting longer than you''ve been fighting, you won''t be back before we get there, will you?" I''d like to continue stroking him slowly if I could, but I don''t want to interrupt his reunion with his old friend. There is no doubt that much was lost before White''s rampage and while he was sealed up in the temple of Fast. "Oh, shall we return once so that we can call them just before?" "Yes. I think I''ll give up trying to raise my level this time. But for now, it''s still in my lap. The long, moist fur feels both warm and cold as I brush my fingers through it. "......I''m sorry to interrupt you, but..." Suig spoke to me like he was scared out of his wits. "What''s wrong?" "This basement is a space for mystiffs, so there will be no return even if moonlight does not reach us during the night. No, rather, there is no return in this basement even if you wanted to." The disturbing nature of what I was told made me panic and open the menu, which I normally don''t look at. The summoning time count in White''s status has stopped, but the command to return is safe. "Yes, it''s true. The connection here is stronger than the connection to the spirit world, and it seems that the path to the spirit world is connected to this place. "I have heard that God created this space to keep Ishvan, the Mistiff, in the material world when he took him as his protector. It is said that the sun is invisible during the hours of the sun, ...... but just because it is invisible does not mean that it returns to the spirit world, and in fact, Ishvan remains here. "It seems that you can summon and return to ......." "What? White turns around in surprise. "If you already have a contract, the Lord is the way for the summoner. Camilla, next to me, tells me. If the reason of inhibition is that there is a place more attractive to mystics than the spirit world, then it is certainly none of my business. I don''t know where she is attracted to. "I see. You already have a contract..." "Who is the Lord!¡¡It''s temporary!¡¡It''s a provisional contract!¡¡I don''t even remember giving you my name!¡¡I have no choice but to go along with you!" White slapped my arm to deny it to Swig, and protested vehemently to Camilla. The people in the general store look at me warmly. "We can come back, we don''t have to worry about the time, and it won''t be a problem. The problem is the black one, but since it was originally unable to return to the spirit world, nothing has changed. However, there is a hint of a disturbing event that makes me a little uneasy. "Are you listening to this? I''m listening, I''m listening. The white feels great. "It''s like it''s opening, huh?" Following Galahad''s gaze, white light increases, tracing the pattern that Sweig had just drawn. "Yes, you have arrived. The princess is drawing a pattern to unlock the door over there. "I see, so the light is increasing in the areas that have been painted over there. Eagle looks at the wall with interest. Sweig called the wall a door, but to me it is a rock wall with no gaps. It is almost flat, unlike the bumpy stuff around it, so I think there is something there, but I don''t recognize it as a door. Swig must have been in and out of this place several times. When everyone is on their feet, they put the table away and move in front of the wall. There is a horizontal line of light on the wall. The wall splits up and down in the middle and opens its mouth without making much noise. "......" Swig looks at me fearfully with his cantera. "White. There''s no time limit, no rush, right?" "Mm." I have a feeling that there is actually a limit of until dawn, but I''m not going to go through with it for now. From there, it''s normal. "I''m sorry. Let me catch my breath. ......" Swig is about to sit up with his hands on his knees. "You''re not well-trained, brother." "Oh, you''re very fit for a priest. It''s not a good place to be. Camilla defends Swig to a grinning Galahad. Camilla is on pinwheels, though. She seems to be knocking down enemies as she passes by, walking quickly throughout the route, perhaps because of the momentum of the battle. She is going downhill, but she sometimes climbs up a step rather than a short slope, and her footing is rugged. It must be hard for you if your daily activities are mainly in the flat area of the temple. I''m sorry, I''m sorry, I''m sorry, I''m sorry, I''m sorry, I''m sorry, I''m sorry, I''m sorry, I''m sorry, I''m sorry. "No way!" I didn''t realize that I was being too cool. "<>" I''ll try < anyway. "Lord, the wall!" In the direction Cal indicated, I saw a wall similar to the one on which Suig had drawn a pattern. "It looks like we''re just about to take a break." White comes back and gets on my shoulder. White''s skills to cause abnormalities are powerful, but most of them do not go off unless touched. He stays away from me during the battle as he goes to spread his skills before he is knocked down. Walls and humans seem to be footholds. Then we drink tea again and watch Suig draw patterns, and wait for Yuni to reach us. "Let''s take it a little slower next time." "Thanks to the [inducement], the enemies are always coming out, so it''s more trouble than it''s worth to break the current pace, you know?" "You''ll be surrounded in no time!" Camilla says with a somewhat pleasant tone, as if being surrounded is only a hassle and not a pinch. "If it comes to it, I''ll have Galahad carry you again. Cal, with a cool face. He basically leaves the fighting to Galahad and the others, walking fast while dealing with leaking enemies, and grabbing the collar of a tangled swimming to prevent him from falling down, all with his usual spring sunshine smile. The perfect knight who brushes my hair in his spare time. Perfect as a knight, but somehow strange. Well, I was the one who started brushing the white one first. My role along the way was to be a scaffold and a waiting place for white. I need to get my things in order, so I started to rummage around while I was waiting. Since there is practically no storage limit, I have a lot of miscellaneous stuff stuck in the storage. I am not good at tidying up, though I have advanced too much compared to other players, and there are many things that would cause a commotion if I sell them. The items dropped this time can be sold, and I''ll sort them out. I''ll use the magic stone for [changing the demon] - no, I don''t need the demon here. "Hmph, are you happy to be petted on people''s knees again?" The black guy peeks out from under the collar and looks down at the white guy on his lap. "You never come out of your bosom like that, do you? I''m not going to let you touch me like that! A black hand comes out with a snap. "What are you talking about with a hairball on your ass!" A white paw cleaves, leaving an afterimage. I''d love for Black to brush the lower half of my body. The two animals exchange curses and punches, but I leave them alone since they seem to be holding back and enjoying the fight. He even has time to pet White and rub his fingers on Black''s cheeks while the two are fighting! "...... is not the Myspiff I know." "Those two don''t match anything I''ve learned about Myspheus, don''t worry." "All of the regular brown ones were pretty much exactly what I imagined, you know?" "I think you are right that ordinary mystics are phantom creatures that avoid conflict and quarrels and live quietly, right?¡¡I see them all the time, but they don''t come close to humans. It''s just that those two are crazy." Camilla and the others call out to the astonished Suig one after another. Suig, on the other hand, turns his face from looking at White and the others to Galahad and the others as if he were a well-oiled doll and says, "I''m sorry, but I can''t help it. I''ve never even encountered that many mystiffs. The group froze at Suig''s words. The result of the cloak evaluation. Hand armor appraisal results [......mm] By whom? 292 - - 290. Libra Pisces the Pisces: Is this a first-time offer? Soong of Scorpio: isn''t it?¡¡Wow, you''re better than royalty. The Pisces and Scorpio conversations are played in the clan conversation, which is open to clan chiefs and above, unis and zodiac knights. The function is probably for the management of larger clans, and it is inefficient to have everyone below the common participate in the conversation. In reality, however, it is mostly used for unimportant chit-chat. Liu in Sagittarius: What''s going on? Gemini Genie: Lengard is having tea in the hall. Sagittarius Liu: Why! Gemini Genie: I don''t know. Gemini''s straightforward reply to Sagittarius'' question. Is Pisces right, is it a first-time offer?¡¡The princess is expected to be a Mystiff-related event, and Lengard is expected to be Empire-related, based on the information we have picked up. Eris Aries: Ew. I love it! Yuni: I''ll do my best to take SS for everyone! Pisces: I''ll take the pictures, Yuni, since you''re not very good at it. I can take pretty pictures of pretty things, but I''m not good at taking pictures of moving things, and sometimes I mess up and end up taking pictures of the floor or the sky. Perfect (...)! Soong of Scorpio: Wow, the floor!¡¡Patterns all over!¡¡All attributes! Yuni: It''s so beautiful! Gemini Genie: The knight''s stuff on it is also stunning! Yuni: Prime Minister Alone is turning back into a person: ...... How did they get it back? I thought if anyone was going to break the curse, it would be him. ....... He has a soft spot for all things hairy. Pisces the Pisces: How did he put it back?¡¡I don''t think he even whispered his love to her. Soong of Scorpio: If it''s not human, it''ll be a problem for the event, won''t it? Gemini Ginier: I see, maybe Lengard was invited to force them back. Liu of Sagittarius: Even the conditions of the curse are nullified. Lengard is an all-around useful character. Soong of Scorpio: Tea in the presence of royalty, hey! Pisces the Pisces: Oh, tea sounds delicious!¡¡What''s that smell? Yuni: Is that the smell of boiling strawberry jam?¡¡It''s freshly made. Gemini Genie: You also make jam, don''t you, Uni? Yuni: Only strawberries. I love the smell when I''m making them, and I like the way the color comes out and comes back. When I experimented with making my own, the sweet smell was so strong that it made me sick for a while. I like sweet and lovely sweets - but I''m usually conservative about my weight - I make unis in pursuit of my ideals, but sometimes I get in trouble like this when I''m the one inside. It seems that Rengaard was after all a character to help you in the dungeon. Whenever he tries to get close to Rengaard, Rengaard''s knights quietly prevent him from approaching without his knowledge, so direct conversation is rare. It was the knights of the constellation of the Uni who tried to get close to him, however. Even if it is a chance to get to know each other, it is out of the question to be aggressive. The princess joined the party as a guard. The princess trusts Yuni, and she is not the kind of girl who only attracts men and is not liked by women. The men surrounding Yuni also want to treat the other women in a gentlemanly manner, while still putting Yuni first, but it''s quite difficult to do so. They proceed along the path carefully while protecting the princess. The participants are Yuni, Sagittarius, Gemini, Scorpio, Pisces, and Aries, who are lucky enough to have Mistyf. Uni''s Mistiff has white limbs and tail tips, and a diamond-shaped white star on its forehead. I had hoped to get a pure white Mistyph that would have suited the lovely Uni, but I had no choice. Objectively speaking, she is pretty enough, and Yuni does not change her behavior based on her appearance. "They''ve already reached the other side." "Idiot. What do we have to do to get there?" Everyone was stunned by what the princess said after the second battle. It was Scorpio who said the wrong thing. "Even if there''s a difference in ability, I''m not convinced. The irascible Gemini wrinkles his brow. Uni has made me feel much better, but it''s a stretch to call this man generous. "Is it shorter than I thought?" He tilts his head slightly in wonder. He says, "I don''t want to overdo it, but I''ve switched to the shampoo he taught me to use, and my hair is shaking nicely. "No, I''m sorry, I don''t understand what the priest is talking about. My communicator was useless. "Anyway, we''ll do what we can to make sure. I know it will make you guys wait, but I don''t want everyone to get seriously hurt, even if I know they''re going to get better. "Dear Uni: ......" The words Sagittarius and Gemini overlap. They are the ones who call out Yuni''s name and then stare at her, swallowing the rest of the words. "Hmm, you''re a worrier, aren''t you?" Aries is what is called a black-hearted person, but in front of Yuni, he hides it and laughs softly. "It''s just because it''s Yuni." Pisces is the one who has a brain stop because of Uni. It''s okay, because they are inspired by the fact that they have to do it. He''s an idiot. "Heh, I''m not that stupid!" Scorpio is aggressive at first glance, but shows inscrutable kindness to those he recognizes as his friends. The party is originally specialized in protecting the unis, and is also good at protecting the princesses they are escorting. It takes time to fight, but there are not many enemies this time. I don''t know how many enemies the Lenguard side is defeating, but is this normal? After crossing three walls, you proceed to a dead-end room with a large cage like a hanging birdcage. There is a hole under the cage, and flames rising from the hole sometimes lick the bottom of the cage. As soon as you catch a glimpse of it, a stone wall falls down behind you, blocking the passage and trapping you in. The princess steps forward and looks back at the cage, which is suspended by chains that are too thin to be reliable for its size, and the mystifs run down from her shoulders and move to stand next to her. "The time has come to make a choice, to proceed you must either place a person or a mystiff in this cage. The door will open either way, but if you choose a person, Ishvaan will be in a good mood, and if you choose a mystiff, he will be in a bad ...... mood." The princess, holding up a light and with the cage behind her, forces you to make a choice with a straight face. The situation suggests that the one we choose will be in the cage, but is there an option to stuff both of them in the cage? "If I go into a cage, won''t the whole cage just fall straight into the hole?" Sacrifice. Gemini spits out her displeasure at Aries'' words, who is still staring at the chains that are about to break into a thousand pieces. "Oh no ......, you''re asking me to choose between a person or a mystiff!" "Uni-sama." Sagittarius calls out my name with concern when I raise my voice a little, which is rare, and Aries gently grabs the sleeve of my robe. "I''m sorry, I''m not allowed to enter the cage myself." The princess, her eyes downcast, perhaps feeling guilty for forcing a choice upon us. Hmmm, it might be a good idea to let a few unspilled tears pool up when she casts her eyes down. I''ll take that as a reference. "If I choose a person, I''ll talk with Ishvaan. If I choose a mystiff, I''ll have a battle. Scorpio looks displeased as far as his facial expression is concerned, but only his voice sounds happy as he utters his prediction. Scorpio has a tendency to be falsely evil, and in fact, his usual attitude is a little bad, but he is the kind of man who has died several times defending his friends in battles. "Normally I would follow Yuni, but I can''t trust him with this choice. We will do it before Yuni-sama gets worried." "Yes, it is. We can''t let Yuni decide." Pisces agrees with Gemini, ruffling his hair. "I choose neither, I would not see Ishvaan if I had to choose between the two." No, please see me. Sometimes I hear the roar of Ishvan and the earth shakes. For the sake of the people''s peace, I want to resolve this ......, and you will not leave this room unless you choose to." "Oh no. ......" It''s a real hassle, emotionally I''d like to shove them all in a cage together, but uni-wise it''s not going to happen. I guess we can''t all just commit suicide and go back to the temple, since the princess and the mystiff would be left behind. On the other hand, it would be uncharacteristic of Yuni to force them to make a heavy choice. Well, what should we do? ¡î ¡î ¡î ¡î ¡î ¡î ¡î ¡î ¡î ¡î ¡î ¡î ¡î ¡î ¡î "There you go..." "Lord! "Not a gashan!¡¡AHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!" What the hell are you doing in there! Don''t you have a word for hesitation? What are you doing?¡¡Don''t throw it!" After listening to Suig with a serious face, I went into the cage and saw the four of them and one of the animals in a terrible state of shock. Just to be sure, I threw them out toward Galahad, although White seemed to be half concerned and half protesting. "No, I can come back to life if I fall. Besides, Sweig never said anything about sacrifice." The thin chains creak dependably, but they do not seem to fall off. And just after the cage door is closed, the front wall begins to lift up, revealing a path. "I beg you not to take such a risk with such an uncertain story!" "The vizier and the king said there is no danger to the mystiffs, remember?" If you believe that, this is not a sacrificial choice. "For God''s sake, explain this to me before you act!" Galahad comes to me blue-striped and angry, but I left him out because I had a feeling that if I explained it to him, he would say that if there was any danger, the others would come in. "Well ....... ............The way is open. The choice has been made, and those of you who have chosen to be people have earned the right to go to Ishvan. The condition was that when the time came, you would take the Mistiff over your people, but..." Sweig holds up the lamp and explains in a cliched manner. "Can we go now?" I grab two bars of the cage and look at Suig from between them. "Oh, yes, go ahead." When Sweig answers, Cal opens the door for him. Although we are less than ten centimeters from the floor, I worry that my robe will burn from the flames that sometimes burst into flames, even if I don''t fall through the cracks into the hole. I''m sure I''ll be fine, considering my equipment rank, but I''m worried about the hem of my robe. "Oh my God!¡¡Don''t do anything rash." Camilla hugs me in her arms and buries her forehead in my shoulder. In place of an apology, I pat her arm to calm her down. "This is the kind of recklessness I''m used to." White kicking Galahad''s chest and moving to my shoulder opposite Camilla. "...... funny. It''s not right!" Black, who had been frozen next to Sweig, yells. Black is standing on his own for the first time in a long time, and he''s stomping like a bee, his feet shaped like eights. Your owner is crazy! He seems to be yelling at white for some reason, not at me. Black, who didn''t seem to know about the trick here, got out of his pocket and placed himself next to Swig as soon as the event occurred. The coercive power of events is scary. "Who''s the owner?¡¡And you''re too late to realize it!" Black and white started to argue, so I retrieved Black to my pocket and ended the game. "Well, if we go this way, will we finally meet Ishvan?" Yes, that''s what I heard. "It''s good that you''re going ahead, but I really wish you''d stop being so reckless." Eagle sighs and picks up his sword again. The path is no longer a branch road, but a straight line down. Wraith-like monsters appear from time to time, but with the [Enchant] of [Purification], the path is smooth and easy. --It seems to me that Cal''s sword or Cal himself has the ability to exorcise them. "Why do you always make something happen!¡¡Don''t you have a normal road trip once in a while?" Galahad takes it out on the enemy. "I''m getting used to it, but I''m afraid that before I know it, they''ve rewritten common sense." Camilla calls out to Galahad, who is exerting himself. "He says he recognizes Mistiff!¡¡When did this happen!" Eagle moves with a steady and sure aim at the enemy''s vital point. Eagle is also somewhat exerted, what is Mistiff? "I''ve hardly even been inside [the house]!" "You''re just picking up your produce at the front door." I''m not two meters from the transfer plates! "You guys ....... It''s not normal when you see Mistiff (us) at your doorstep, is it?" Yes, that''s right. I''m just being cool about it." "The golden dragon Paltin that flies around sometimes had a bigger impact on me!" "I only saw Mistiff playing in the forest at night from a distance. ......" Three men and a dog slaughtering their enemies while having a conversation they don''t understand. At any rate, I''ll thank them later for receiving my produce from Liddell and Kuzunoha, who don''t like to see other people. "That''s all I wanted!" Galahad, as usual, handles his thick sword with ease, smashing the enemy''s defenses rather than slashing at them. "It was a perfect effect. ......" Flames light up Camilla''s fingertips and she is swept to the side. The flames at her fingertips have a beautiful orange tail. Camilla does not have [Chantless], but she has obtained the skill to draw a specific picture with her fingertip that activates magic by combining it with [Chant Shortening]. She says that the diagrams she has to draw get easier with each level, and now she can use magic up to level 20 just by paying for a single character in the [Fire] system. "I thought I was used to it, but I got cold feet just now!" "Really!" "It''s hard to follow Homura''s thoughts." He doesn''t think too much anyway. I will follow him, covering him from behind with my magic. "Lord ....... I am a knight and I would like to protect you if I could. ...... Cal has a different grievance from Galahad and the others. You can''t change the direction of your actions, so give up! 293 - - The Mumbling Man Levels have been raised. As I was walking along the straight road, the road suddenly started to become bumpy and distorted and meandered. The path is so narrow that two people can barely stand in a row on it, and even the slightest meander can easily take away your view. There was a door again, perhaps to keep us on track, but this time we didn''t have to wait too long. "We''re finally at the bottom." "That''s the vibe I''m getting." The demons have not been seen since we started meandering, and the temperature has dropped dramatically. "By the way, was the guardian beast here famous?" "The most famous guardian beasts are the , which is the guardian beast of this country, and , sent by Val of Navai, who is also called . However, there is not much information about the guardian beasts. I didn''t know that <> was a mystic either. "They call them guardian beasts, but it''s not even clear what they''re protecting. "It seems like they used to interact with humans a long time ago, don''t you think?" "Come to think of it, there have been several fairy tales in which a being that seems to be like that appears as a being that gives wisdom to people. At first, I thought it was a sealed beast. The first sealed beast I met was white, so I had a friendly image of it. However, after listening to the various stories, it is clearer to think that it is a description of Ran, not Sirene, and of Ishvan, not White. However, Ran got into the battle without talking, and the guardian beasts of the present time seem to be dangerous, not to mention those of the past in the fairy tale. "I heard that there are twelve guardian beasts, but that doesn''t match the number of the main gods. "Isn''t it famous that the elves are with their guardian beasts?" Is it famous?¡¡Camilla. "It''s about the World Tree." I must have looked very strange, because Cal whispered next to me. The World Tree is a beast!¡¡I''m shocked in more ways than one. No, Alice is treated as a beast too, especially if she doesn''t have to be a four-legged fluffy thing, or in this case ......? "I also hear that there are other great monkeys in Baron." "It''s probably on Mount Huacaguo, by all accounts." Oh, no. I got an image I don''t need to remind you of. "...... Homura, why do you look away?" Because I pictured you in your silver bikini pants and iron shoes combined with your shin guards! "No, yeah. Did Eagle buy sandals yet?" In response to Eagle''s question, I asked him what he remembered in connection with what came to mind. "Homura-kun ......?" Stop pressuring me with your smile. "Sandals?¡¡Eagle, did you want sandals?¡¡That''s not much of an image." Camilla, who does not know the details of the situation at Mount Huihuaguo, gets into the conversation. "Ah ......, you know, when we went to Navai, you said we''d have a proper vacation this time!¡¡I think I''ll get a set too!" Galahad tries to cover it up by helping Eagle. "I don''t have much experience with sea vacations. ......" Cal looks a little bewildered. It is true that I imagine a lake rather than an ocean, and not swimming but cooling off by the lakeside with a horse. If you don''t have a swimsuit, I''d give you this purple bikini, if only it didn''t have a [Not for sale] sign on it!¡¡Oh my god, it''s so normal. I still have the one Leo caught if you like. "Homura, please don''t give the old man that line (????) of swimsuits, okay?" Galahad has good instincts. "You are off topic!" White sighs with half-open eyes. "Where do you gather your information from, anyway?¡¡A big monkey on Mount Huaguo? Is it that maid?" Galahad forces the subject back. "Ur-Lolo has nothing to do with this. He''s a seemingly decent pervert." I looked away from Galahad, and Kulurkan, who had been in the form of a staff, half-turned his body back into a snake and met my eyes. He looks apologetic, like his sister is sorry, but so are you! The Monkey King, the Great Sage Sun Wukong, who was born in Mount Huaguo in Dongsheng Province, and resides in the Heavenly Palace in Fukuchi. --If Peter were here, he would say this Sun Wukong''s name in one breath, but unfortunately, he is not here. Blessed land is a blessed and rich place, and Dongcheon is a famous mountainous and scenic area where a goddess of heaven is said to reside. Suien-dong is a cave where water hangs like a bamboo screen. Well, there must have been a cave behind the waterfall, since he must have found the place by jumping into the basin of the waterfall. Hmmm?¡¡I was born in Mount Huaguo, but I live with my monkey friends behind the waterfall. Should we look for the waterfall in Barong?¡¡But I have a strong image of a mountain, perhaps because of the image of Gogyo-san, where Goku was sealed up when he met Sanzang-houshi. I should read the picture book again to get more information about the guardian beasts. Just as I was thinking this, my field of vision opened up. A huge subterranean space with many thin stone pillars standing around it. The center of the large space is circular, shallow, and smooth, and around it are several thin, smoking incense burners suspended from thin chains. Some of them seem to have bells attached to them and may be called swinging incense burners. There are too many incense burners to count, but I do not smell any. "We have arrived, this is the underground hall where resides. Between us and the hall were six people in hooded robes. I recognize the dark green, slightly grayish, figure-hugging, svelte robes. "I''ve seen those guys before." Galahad noticed, too, and frowned. "Is this the same kind of guy who got mugged by Farfasi?" "Homura, can we be a little more careful about how we phrase things?" Eagle gives him a pedagogical lesson. "It seems that Ishvan is not at home, is he?" No, it''s right in front of me. You don''t see it? Sweig asks curiously. "Is it as white as it gets?" Camilla looks around puzzled. I couldn''t find Ishvaan either, but I could see that Yuni and the others were looking into the hall as well, across a small wall-less hall. "No, this whole hall is ......" "If the priests can see us, it can''t have been daytime before we knew it. And they look a little strange too, they seem to be in a different space or have blinders on. Cal''s words made me look closely at the men in robes, which seemed to shimmer in places. It''s like they don''t even hear us. "Oh, I think they''re going to charge next door, huh?" One of the knights of the constellation dashed into the center of the hall. When he comes into contact with the robed men, nothing happens, or rather, he passes through them. "Ah, the bell tower." < In a place where there are still intact churches, churches that have been turned into temples, churches that have decayed, and many other places where there are still traces of churches, it would be a tedious but main road to ring the bells to get closer and solve the riddle.¡¡Either way, it wasn''t until the bell rang that Lan showed up. "Shodou?" With Galahad''s voice in the background, he goes to what he thinks must be the bell tower and shakes the bell. A long, trailing sound, similar to that of the bells that rang in front of funeral processions at the bottom of the sea, floats through the wide space. Immediately, all the bells on the censer start ringing at once, and the censer shakes. Amidst the pouring sound and smoke, the figure of a large black beast appears vaguely. "Uh-oh!" A scream goes up. "Soong!" Ah! I accidentally sounded it with the knight of the zodiac in the hall. Ha-ha-ha!¡¡--I''m sorry. I made a mistake. I didn''t check around when I thought of it. I''m sorry, I''m sorry. I''m sorry, I''m sorry. The knight of the constellation called Soong is back to the starting position, Yuni and the others before Ishvaan has a certain texture. Good, good. > Ishvaan, who opens his eyes thinly and mumbles languidly, is not sure if he has just woken up from sleep or not. "Hahaha!¡¡Come, flaming knight!¡¡My avenger!" A robed man notices us and turns around, laughing. I think he had called Galahad the flaming knight at the time of Farfasi. "The way he laughs and the atmosphere of weariness are the same. He seems younger than the old man at that time. Eagle''s words jogged my memory. I don''t even remember the way he laughed, but the skinny old man I encountered in the labyrinth certainly had striking dark circles under his eyes. The men in robes who looked at me were in their 20s or 30s, and it was difficult to read their ages from their gaunt faces with dark circles. The six of them shared an air of being obsessed with something, even though their health was deteriorating. Only the youngest one is talking, and the other five are looking down and not looking at me. "And welcome, my dear Princess Sylvia!" He then made a grand gesture of thanks to Yuni''s party. I wondered if this was the start of a Galahad-related event, but it seems to be a princess-related event as well. Farfasi''s drop was also for the Prime Minister, or is it correct to say that it is related to Sadiras? "Mr. William ......?¡¡Why on earth are you here!¡¡The Parma family is worried by your sudden disappearance!" Oh, something about a lover or a married woman. "William is Lady Sylvia''s fianc¨¦e, and he''s worried about her sudden disappearance. Richard, Abel, ...... and the others are all temple workers who have been missing for some time." I looked to Sweig for an explanation, and he gave me the information I wanted. "Anyone else missing?" "The chief priest, Master Byrne, is ....... The first person to go missing was also Master Byrne." Sweig answers Cal''s question. "So the chief priest was the one killed by Far Fasi Mogu ......?" "Is that right for the time of year?¡¡Is that what you mean when you say I''m avenging you?¡¡Was William (that) and the chief priest close?" Galahad looked from the robed men to Sweig, who shook his head. "Princess Sylvia, that is not William. "Yuni-sama?" Yuni extends her arm to stop the princess from approaching the robed man. "Master William''s soul is locked in one of the cinerary burners here. Inside that body is the soul of someone else. ......" "Priest-in-Chief." As the story goes. It leaked out and caught a surprising amount of attention because of Yuni''s silence. Please stop looking at them all at once, and I don''t like the use of the incense burner for storing souls, which I recognized as something to confine Nue!¡¡No, well, it''s just what it sounds like. "Ha-ha-ha!¡¡Gentiles in the way everywhere!" I look at William, the new chief priest, and think, "Evil people laugh a lot. This must be an event that has been going on at Yuni''s side to some extent. I wish they would explain everything in the name of confession like a villain in a historical drama or a suspense drama. "Yes, I am the chief priest, Byrne!¡¡Sylvia, be my bride!¡¡If I take you to wife and make you king, you have my word that the empire will look after you!¡¡Prime Minister Alone is not allowed to interfere and will attack the Isle with the Empire!" He explained it to the best of his ability!¡¡You''re a good man, Chief Priest! ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ More...

There is often a scene in American movies where a person is eating a liter of ice cream, but is he or she able to finish it?¡¡The good thing about VR dramas that you can watch from the sidelines instead of participating in them is that you can watch them while eating and drinking. What I am trying to say is that the story is long. It is nice to know what is going on, but a long story is a long story. Let me summarize it like this. Priestess Byrne, originally quite old, took the empire''s offer to get the throne, a young body, and Princess Sylvia. He had been working secretly behind the scenes to avoid danger, but when his body was destroyed, he came out to the labyrinth after he made a plan to transfer his soul to the censer. It was the followers who extracted the soul of William and others and transferred it to the empty body of the chief priest Byrne. The former elderly man who switched his own body after making sure that the change of the body of the chief priest Byrne had been successful. Judging from the reactions of the princess and Sweig, it seems that each of them was a powerful person. --The princess and Sweig''s reactions indicated that each of them was a powerful person, but they didn''t seem to have much of a claim on the other, and they had already arranged their obedience in the body they took before the transfer. "From what I''m hearing, it''s not even clear that they''re from the empire." "And yet he has convinced the chief priest, Byrne, that he is a messenger of the empire, and has left no room for doubt. When push comes to shove, it''s the lizard''s tail." "When he thought that <> was an ingredient for a potion that would work on the Prime Minister, you know. I guess it will end up with him, but I don''t know which side he''s actually working on." Galahad and the others have already shifted their attention from the priesthood chief, Byrne, to finding out who is behind this. "The wards for the six attributes used in the labyrinth were magic, weren''t they? I don''t think Merlin will come to teach them directly, and I wonder if the people in between are familiar enough with magic to be able to transmit the information.¡¡It''s strange that you didn''t get to the dark attribute if you learned it on your own." I have a spirit-dependent warding skill, which is what a chief priest would normally have. And a chief priest of Sadiras would surely have the dark attribute, an intellect-dependent warding spell that prevents the six attributes without testing them. I can only assume that someone taught him that. "......That would limit it." Galahad looks up into the air and wrinkles his brow to see if some of them float. "There''s William''s soul amongst all these incense burners, you know?¡¡Refrain from attacking unnecessarily. If you drop it, it will never come back!" And so on and so forth, and the story went on. "......!" "Lady Sylvia!" When the princess took a step forward, she was bounced by an invisible wall and Yuni-chan supported her when she stumbled. "Hahahaha!¡¡My [warding magic] that has evolved!¡¡Except for Mistiff, no one with the moon''s blessing will pass a single step!¡¡There''s more than one tablet!" Well, I thought I would have thought of the dark attribute first. The battle begins again with a limited area of action. No, I''m supposed to cooperate with my partner Mistiff?¡¡--Well, if it''s just me, I can go through the wards, but since it''s related to Mistiff, I''ll wait until the event (nothing) is over. > Ishvaan, who looks a little dazed, looks up, perhaps reacting to the chief priest''s laughter, and leans forward. His chest hairs are fluffed up like this. is an incense burner that can store souls, just as the name says, and is produced by Ishvaan. "Ishvaan ......?" White is making a difficult face. No, this is not the time to be distracted by that furball. "Ishvan may have created it, but it''s human beings who are using it." "I don''t care about human souls, I''ve slaughtered many myself." He turns his cheek silently to White, who turns his head away. Killing a living creature, even if it is for the sake of one''s own people, is a way of breaking out of the circle of mystics. Both White and Black seemed to be distancing themselves from the Mistiffs, as if killing a living creature meant that they could not be on the Mistiffs'' side. Such an attitude of the Mistyiffs annoys me a little, but it can''t be helped that White likes the way the Mistyiffs are. If only there had been no one to bother them, things would have remained peaceful and tranquil. The men in robes shake the incense burners in their hands, and smoke rises from within, taking the form of Mistyphs and flying through the air. The freedom of Mistyf from the smoke is instantaneous, and she is quickly sucked into another incense burner lowered from the ceiling. There are many signs of Mistyf. What does that mean?¡¡There are more than you can see." Perhaps in response to Ishvaan''s voice or to the incense burners of the robed men, the black also comes out onto the shoulders. "The mystiff before me now, the figure is Ishvaan''s. But it is not Ishwaan''s presence, it is as if--" "Come on, wake up, Aldo Vern (????)!¡¡The humans are coming in!" > The sound of a rumbling noise is heard, and the hair on the body stands up on end as it glares at us. "Ha ha ha!¡¡Aldvaan, the princess''s name is Sylvia!¡¡The medium is a silver-white incense burner!¡¡You two greenhorns over there, Swig, are the dark eight-sided censer!" The chief priest, Byrne, looks up at Aldvaan, holds up his hands, and announces the names of the princess and Suig. > "Kyah!" As Aldvarne finishes, Sylvia screams and collapses, smoke escaping from her body. The smoke is sucked into a silver incense burner. > The smoke that escaped from Suig was sucked into an eight-inch incense burner with a dark impression, as announced by the chief priest Byrne. "Ha ha ha!¡¡Even without a true name, with a medium, you''ve got this!¡¡I''ve got the hair of the king, and I''ve got the best incense burner!¡¡All that is left to do is to dispose of the empty vessel and you will have a puppet who is obedient to me!" "Oh my God, ......!" Yuni supports the princess''s body and glares at the chief priest, Byrne. Oh, and just as she was about to fall, Sweig supported her with his knees as if Galahad was manipulating a soccer ball, and before she collapsed, he grabbed her by the collar and laid her back down. "Stupid ....... Aldvaan is supposed to be dead." White murmured. "Is Aldvaan''s soul in Ishvaan''s body?" It seems that only the body is the same that the hunter served, and that Sadilas has protected and concealed. > Huh?¡¡Is this your white friend?¡¡I thought you said this one was an old friend. When the hunter mentioned Aldvaan''s name on Mt. Parthin, he was quite surprised, but his reaction after that was not so strong, because he thought he was dead? When he was sleepy, he was curled up so tight you couldn''t even see his claws on his hands and feet, but now his sharp claws are making marks on the hard floor of the cave. The wagging tail sends not needles but spear-like hairs flying toward us at high speed. Cal and Galahad block them, and we are unharmed, but the hairs are sticking into the wall. "Ah!¡¡A spirit in human form, not a mystiff, is in the incense burner over there!" Yuni-chan points to many incense burners hanging down, but I can''t tell which ones. And what is rising from the censer is not smoke but a spirit. ....... No, but it looks like smoke, because they are censer! "You, I need a little help!¡¡But do not touch me, this is my fight!" With that, White rushes across the boundary. I have a down arrow on my status.¡¡Mr. White, you mean the status of borrowing?¡¡Next to the HP bar, which is the icon that appears when a person is in an abnormal state, there is a flashing downward arrow that indicates a decrease in status. By the way, White lent me his abilities at the tournament, but could he do the opposite? "Aldvaan!" White grew larger and larger and was almost as big as Aldvaan when he got there. > "You killed my people!¡¡Why? !" > The two animals enter the battle with great vigor. They aim at each other''s throats, swinging their claws and baring their fangs. As the two swap positions, the incense burner shakes and the spirit wanders through the air. "White ...... must have been big!" "Galahad, you''re starting to sound like Homra, aren''t you?" Camilla looks at Galahad with streaming eyes. "I see, so this is the true form of the <>." Cal is admiring the white. Then a snake emerges from a cuff. Yes, Kulurkan is a too, and he might be impressed if I show him what he looked like when we first met. I already have a distant memory of it. "Hasfarn, Hasfarn? Black is frozen on his shoulders in shock. He had a fight with White, but he seemed to have a bit of a crush on Hasfahan. The other Myspheans usually disappear when Hasfarn''s name is mentioned, even though they express their gratitude. I am rather sympathetic to Aldvarne''s point of view. I have mixed feelings about Mistiff, even though I genuinely want to play with him. I don''t forgive the robes for making White and his old friend fight, it''s that simple. I''m going to stay quiet until White and the others are done, since he stopped me, but now, what can I do? "Bah, no way!" Chief Priest Byrne is dismayed. "Well, I''d be surprised if a mystiff the same size as a guardian beast suddenly appeared." "I''m sure it''s completely unscheduled." Galahad and Eagle talk while keeping an eye on developments. In the meantime, Aldvarne''s attacks are coming our way, but we are able to defend against them without any danger at all, similar to the gesture of brushing off raindrops. Well, if White had not been there, we and Yuni would have had more powerful skills, and we would not have had this much time to spare. "The Mystiffs over there are starting to move, too. Looking around at Camilla''s words, I saw that Yunika''s mystiffs had just attached themselves to the censer containing the souls of the princess and Suig, but when the censer shook with the impact, the souls were transferred to a different censer. "We have to break all the empty censer, don''t we! "Yes!" The knight of the zodiac suggests that the souls should not be transferred even if the censer is shaken. "The tablet must be broken to break the boundary. When the empty censer is gone, if there is a stone tablet in the censer containing the soul, it cannot be attacked. We should refrain from dropping the empty censer until we find the tablet and break the warding." Unless you are prepared to lose the souls of your mystiffs and princesses. Come to think of it, we have souls, but Mistiff has no vessel. "Yes, sir!" The distance was quite far, so we could hear the sound of White and the others fighting, and it seemed that the knight of the constellation who was closest to us could hear us because we were shouting more loudly than usual. Black, find the tablet. "Yes, it''s an emergency. I''m listening!" Black runs through the wards in a huff. He guides Mistiff and the others away from the attack, and at the same time deals with the attack on himself. > "Shut up!¡¡It''s just a quiet place, Mistiff, just my heresy!¡¡Those humans are just the way they are!" They yell at each other, shift positions, and bare their fangs at each other. Their white fur is stained red in places. I guess Aldovan is in a similar state, though I can''t tell for sure because he is black. > That was a long time ago! Two of them keep their distance. > 295 - - The End of the Battle A white shadow of the same shape blurs from a white body. --But that''s all. "Hmm!¡¡I''ve already given up that name!" White attacks Aldvaan as if to say that it is settled. > "What have you done to your own people!¡¡You who always looked out for your fellow man!" It is clear that Aldvaan is outnumbered, as White seems to be carrying an anomaly in his angry attacks. He breathes a sigh of relief and checks his surroundings. "No way!¡¡Not from here, not from there!" As the knight of the zodiac swears, the cronies of the chief priest Byrne are attacking. It seems that there are high-level [dark magic] users, whether it''s the bodies that have been taken over or the souls that have been taken over, and <> is attacking Yuni and the others. I can''t use it yet, but it is a magic equivalent to level 60 that materializes the shadow of the target and attacks it. Of course, it''s weaker than the real thing, but Yuni-chan and the others seem to be having a hard time because they can''t get in front of it due to the ward magic. Moreover, countless black spears of and are flying around from the shadows. It seems as if the attacks are concentrated in that direction. Or maybe it''s just the <> going there. The others are being well protected by Kal and the others, so it just seems like more of them are going that way. Thankfully, they have been preventing me without complaint while I have been watching the progress of White and the others and skipping the battle. seems to be stronger than I read in books, but I guess it depends on the user. Or is it special in relation to the princess''s event?¡¡Maybe both. "Sorry, thanks." "Hmm, sometimes." "I said, ''No problem!''" With that, Camilla dexterously strikes the < across the boundary and erases it, while Galahad prevents it with the belly of his greatsword. Galahad''s sword is much thicker than most shields. --When I told Kikuhime about it, she said she was training hard with the wolves in the forest to see if she could find some skills. I have a feeling that one day we''ll see a young girl who will drop her shield and attack with a big sword. Why do all four of them look a little happy even though they''ve been slacking off? Especially Cal, he seems to be in a good mood. Well.... I''m in a low state of health, but I''m ready to join the fray. The mystics, including Black, are flying around on the ceiling using the censer as a scaffold, looking for the stone slab, while evading the interference of the robed men. The time I have been distracted by White is long for combat, but short for searching. I still can''t seem to find the tablet. "Ha ha ha ha!¡¡The white mystiff is an unexpected distraction, but when it comes down to it, it''s just prey!¡¡Blood is a powerful medium for sealing incense censer!" The fool is pleased with himself. --I can get through the wards, but it''s not a good idea to go out alone in front of them in this state. But White is crying. He''s not shedding tears, but he''s crying in anger at Aldovan. It''s not like we can come between them. Besides, it''s settled. "No, two Mistyphs are all we need," says Aldovan. Look at their beautiful fur. When they are healed, I will skin them and make them cushions for me and Sylvia!" ....... "What did you say?" I thought I heard a buzzing sound. In this case, I wonder if it was a blood vessel or an endurance cord that was severed. "Ha!¡¡Is that your Mistiff?¡¡You''ve been hanging around the in the labyrinth, haven''t you!¡¡But whatever you say outside of the wards, it''s the howl of a loser!¡¡The old queen collected only the hairs from the bellies of the mystiffs and spread them around the room, one of them should be enough!" "Warding ......, by warding do you mean this?" "Lord ......" Pretending not to hear Cal''s admonition, he steps forward. Awe] A mild inhibition of action to stun the hostile, inspiring and uplifting to the favored. But what is working now is the supposedly integrated [awe]. It is awe and fear that surrounds you, and inhibits the movement of friend and foe alike. I feel as if the [seal of title of skill and law] is about to snap from sheer indignation. Stay calm, stay calm. "-What the hell are you doing, you stupid b*tc*?" As soon as he mutters in a low voice, the robed man takes down the incense burner, perhaps flinching at the presence. The incense burner hit the floor, and the lid flew off with a metallic sound, as if the clasp had been broken by the impact. "Aaaaahhhh! The man who dropped the censer lets out a cry, and a white mist escapes from his body. > Among them, one of the incense burners trembles and falls off its thin, ornate chain. < to kill the momentum of the fall, and a gentle breeze of Val''s scent draws it back to you. It seems to be used in a different way, but I couldn''t think of anything else. I wanted to secure it because I wasn''t sure if I should break it, but since it was on loan to White (?????), I wasn''t sure if I could run and get it in time. "There it is!¡¡Stone is ......,hmm." In the midst of this, Black knocked down the incense burner, which fell and shattered the stone slab and all. The wards were broken. While the knights of the constellation fight back against , a large amount of white mist escapes from the censer after censer lowered from the ceiling. "Homura......!" Galahad and the others are saying things in the background, but I can''t hear them clearly over the sounds of the censer shaking, chains clanking, and censer to censer colliding with each other. "What?¡¡I thought you never left the inside of the censer as long as it shook!" The white mist flew across the wide space, passed through the men and the white, and settled on my floating censer. "What!¡¡What did you put in that incense burner!¡¡The same conditions apply to incense burners as long as you don''t add any medium, and you should move to the nearest incense burner!¡¡You say that Ishvan has conspired against me!" "Oh - let''s destroy the nuisance. ." Ignoring the bellowing of the chief priest, Byrne, he unleashes his magic. The incense burners hanging from the ceiling are struck by the lightning, and they glow for a moment like canteras before cracking and falling one after another. Aldvaan lies helplessly out of the corner of my eye. The battle between White and Aldvaan seems to be over. The battle between White and Aldvarne seems to be over. The ghostly robed men are now swaying as if to express the agitation of the chief priest Byrne. Krulkan slips out of his sleeves and becomes a staff when he reaches out with his hand. "<>" The aim is first the incense burners held by the robed men, over-magic against the target, but now the mood is rough. A lightning spear appears in midair and falls in a straight line into the censer, blowing the robed men away with the impact. Lightning magic level 35, I don''t think it''s enough to blow up everyone but the target. --I think the effect of [Verus'' Judgment] has been felt. He is angry with Priestess Byrne for talking about turning white into fur. He is frustrated that he had no say in White''s battle, and he is also angry that the two animals, who used to be friends, now have to fight each other. "d*mn you, d*mn you!" It backs away, clutching a bright orange orb and thrusting it toward us. It attacks us with a fireball, but we don''t avoid it and it does no damage. As I approach the orb, I am knocked off my feet and fall to the ground. "Ow, ow! You know it doesn''t work, but it still sticks the orb out at you. Ah, the orb used to boil Farfasi?¡¡Then this must have been given to him by someone in the empire. "...... goodbye." I was going to hit him with Verus [the great sword of absolution], but I lost interest. <, I hit him with a flash, beheaded him, and that was it. With borrowed power and borrowed knowledge, killing is easy. Don''t come running into my presence without being prepared to be killed. < "What?" A large black Aldvaan, larger than when he was on my shoulder, but smaller in size for his level, lies on the ground with a white one, and speaks. "You say that now?" There is the faintest hint of a smile from Aldvarne. "...... That body of yours is Ishvaan, isn''t it?" < "Ishvan will not be happy to see you go!" Is this a good place to use recovery?¡¡But White won''t call me. "Hey!¡¡You!" I was sobbing, and Black spoke to Aldvaan. "If you don''t want it, give me your power!¡¡I''ll let you sleep in my body instead!" <> "What are you talking about?" After seeing the battle, Black has no reservation against White and Aldvaan. He looks up, his chest puffed out, and he is still standing firm as ever, looking like a big man even though he is weaker than the two of them. "Your big, stupid body is not good enough for me, is it?¡¡I''ll lend you my body!¡¡Give me that power to fight with him instead!¡¡I can''t stand to lose to him and be made to look like a fool." Aldvarne looks at him lightly and starts to laugh. < At the same time as he says these words, a white mist leaves Aldvarne''s, or rather Ishvarne''s, body and is absorbed into his black body. "Nu......!" The black hairs stand on end, but quickly subside. "That''s pretty tiring. ......" Black and Aldvaan''s voices leak from the same black body. "I''m going to bed. You finish what you have to finish!" <> "What is it?" White is approaching Aldvaan--I have to recover! White, you''ll recover in the meantime. Glad you''re okay, but you look terrible: £¡£¡£¡£¡ <> "Hmm?" Recover White. Just when I thought Ishvan would recover too, Aldvarne, who was quietly watching me, called out to me. . "Huh?" < "You ran away, didn''t you?¡¡How twisted can you be!" A white color that seems to be angry or angry at you in words, but also seems to be happy. . Not knowing what to do, I hold out my hand and Aldvaan presses his forehead against me. Light leaks from the space between his forehead and hand. I had been thinking that Mistiff (black) had officially joined this event. I mean, what about the fact that we''ve already named her?¡¡Black is fine? > Aldvaan is suddenly upset. "Hmm?" > For some reason, Aldvaan is angry. "I don''t remember naming it in the first place." > "Extra?" Apparently, I named it. I did call it that when I said I was going to make it black, but what''s the extra? <> "Shut up!" Before Aldvarne can finish, a white punch flies. > "Just get him to change his name!¡¡Don''t bother to speak your current true name!" They started fighting again. Well, let''s leave them alone, since they are just playing around. When I turned around, feeling both amused and disgusted, I found an even more disturbing scene unfolding. A water-splashing contest by the knights. Galahad chased after Cal with a tub and sprayed water with a ladle. Cal dodges the water with a graceful grace. "What are you doing? "What the hell are you doing?¡¡You''ve got us in an uproar!¡¡Don''t suddenly go full throttle!¡¡The old man is avoiding !" It was my fault! "And the party over there is still in love. Let''s just get this ugliness over here sorted out before we come to our senses." "In case you''re wondering, Master Lancelot defended himself." It really was just in case, you know. I didn''t feel you were going to prevent it from the beginning. By the way, Vern, you''re a priest in the highest sense of the word. I can''t believe you could stand up to him. "It''s hard to be effective when you''re hostile, but you know what I mean. ......" No way, Priest-in-Chief Byrne is highly rated! "Oh, shit!¡¡Don''t play defense here, old man!" "Homura, don''t just stand there, help me!" Galahad swinging a ladle and Eagle walking right and left with a tub. It''s a pleasant sight, but we can''t just sit and watch. "Cal, you want some water?" "Yes, thank you." I offer him a glass of -- the words are terrible, but it is drinkable and rather tasty -- and he takes it happily and drinks it down. "Am I supposed to be happy that this was so easily solved, or this?" "Let''s leave it at that for now, shall we put Galahad in the water too?" Eagle smiles at Galahad, who sighs. "What?" You sprayed me first, but you''re avoiding the water too, aren''t you?¡¡Unconscious?" Camilla, soaked to the skin, holds a ladle to Galahad, who is sizzling backward. The clothes had always been revealing her curves, but now they are sticking to her body, making her look even more s*xy. It looks like a lot of things are transparent. "[Tilting], as scary as it is hilarious: ......" Cloak appraisal results [I have a feeling that both are someone else''s fault]. Hand armor appraisal results [...... mmm] Who is someone? 296 - - The Ishvern "Thanks." He gives a bath towel to Camilla, who was apparently doused by Galahad with a tub of water, rather than a ladle. Thanks to the guidance of the Chirari, I always have towels and a robe that anyone can wear. White gives me a paw tap on the cheek, so I throw the towel to the guys and heal Ishvaan. Isn''t my recovery target always so big?¡¡Is it my imagination? "What about this stunned one over here?" "[Fascination] is in effect, leave him alone and he will come to his senses. I don''t know if he''s safe from the charm. "It''s too disturbing, please pour water on it: ......" Cal''s words made me anxious and I asked him for help. "After we''ve taken care of the mess over here," he said. Eagle replies while wiping the water dripping from his hair with a towel. "Isn''t your owner strange ......?" "You''re the owner. I am not a pet." Two animals talking to the right and left of my shoulder. Their normally inconspicuous beards are fluffy, and I am happy because they are both smoldering and fluffy. I''m glad White is okay. "So you''re engaged to the princess." Galahad checks one body at a time, which is in bad shape, and moves the head to the torso. At first glance it did not appear that the two were far apart. This is probably out of consideration for the princess and Sweig, who are far from being in rough shape. Eagle and the others are taking advantage of the absence of the contents to examine the robed men. The men in sight had reddish-black magic circles floating on their chests. "He is the only one who doesn''t have an incense burner. I didn''t think the one remaining incense burner belonged to Chief Priest Byrne, and it might have been hidden somewhere other than here, but I didn''t feel I had the right to leave the princess and Suig in that state and go to the trouble of searching for it. I didn''t feel the need to go out of my way to find the princess and Suig when I knew the prince ...... was safe. He may have been fooled, but he''s out." As Galahad said, considering that the boy king and princess were not puppeted, there must have been some kind of deal between the chief priest Byrne and the owner of the body, who could have done whatever he wanted without his consent. <<> "Ishvaan." Ishvan''s consciousness seems to have returned, though he remains slumped over. A feeling fills the cavern. "U...... U......" Groans and jarring kneeling noises could be heard. "Oops, I came to my senses ......, no, I''m out of [fascination] for now." Galahad turns around and says. It seems that Yuni and the others, stimulated by Ishvaan''s presence, have noticed. Eagle gently sprays over them. Thank you, but don''t you want a tub of what looks like pretend holy water in a glass bottle? "...... why?" "Why?" Aldvaan asks again. ...... Aldvaan didn''t take over, but Ishvaan has more dangerous ideas? "Since when?" << Please stop running to the evil gods to do something. Please stop selecting as your guardian animals those who interact with the evil gods. ......Tasya and Val are not very interested in the evil gods, come to think of it. They seem to be more concerned with breaking boundaries than with evil gods.¡¡I don''t know why. >. Ishvan says, averting his eyes from White and Aldvarne. Ishvarn turns his eyes away from White and Aldvarne and says to Yuni and the others, who are looking at them with the collapsed princess a short distance away. The floating incense burner is pulled to the floor with a string, and the bodies of the Suigs are pulled to the floor in the same way. Yuni and the others accompany the princess as she is slowly being pulled toward the censer. The robed men are rescued as well. We can put them back together, but they may be held responsible for the ugliness of the situation. I hope it''s just the fianc¨¦e, but there are too many nobles and powerful people missing to keep the case hidden, and I doubt she''ll get away with saying she was just used for her body. When I open the lid of the censer, a white mist softly escapes from the censer and returns to my body. And to the body of the princess''s fianc¨¦e. "......" "......!¡¡Master William!" Sweig and the princess wake up, and the robed men stagger out. Princess Sylvia wakes up and immediately looks for her fianc¨¦. < Only one person does not get up. A white mist stands over his body, which remains collapsed. "Dear William ......" Princess Sylvia with tears that seem to overflow. She sees that the incense burner is missing and is a little saddened that she had to get rid of it without hesitation. But I guess that hesitation would not have changed what I would have done in the end. > "Oh no ......!" Princess Sylvia collapses at Ishvaan''s words. "I have a reviving potion. Would you like to try it? Cal says. He smiles, but his gaze seems to be testing the princess and her fianc¨¦. > He seems to hesitate for a moment, but then shakes his head slowly. "Master William!" I''m not so sure about the trickery of taking over the body, but I think I''m on board with the plan to drag the boy king down with us. A confession came in that was significantly more out of character than I had expected!¡¡But the atmosphere is so bad that I can''t stick to it, so I''m keeping my mouth shut. In the meantime, I am not interested in any more power struggles, and I don''t want to be in the lamenting room. A white mist, smaller than a man, repeatedly moves in and out of the censer with the lid open. As I watch, the mystiffs that Yuni and the others have with them approach some of them. --It seems that something similar to what Black did to Aldovan has happened. Some of them seem to be stuck on their shoulders, but I wonder if it''s a compatibility problem. >> A few round objects with decorative strings float in front of Ishvaan''s face, floating in the air. They float in the hands of the partners of Mistiff, who have accepted their souls. I have one in my hand. It appears to be a small incense burner with a mouth like a bell. And it looks like a trinket for a pet. What about the other Mithiffs? Even if we brought all the mystics on the island, there would not be enough souls here. < Ishvaan quietly closes his eyes and gets down. "One more thing, do you know about <>?" <<<< ùw>> is a thing with a form and no form. It is a reflection of what people see. It is a thing that takes away people''s abilities. If you fight it and take away its form, you can trap it. You can take one of my censer. "Disfigure?" Whether or not the question has been answered, the figure fades away without an answer. The guardian beast is cleared. --And the bell rings again. . The voices are coming and going from the incense burner like mystics. A white haze trailing behind. With a pop, the censer returns to the spot where it was knocked down, as if lit on fire. I got the title of "First Defeater [One who sees signs]. I got the as a reward for my first defeat. Notice. The guardian beast has been cleared by Yuni''s party and one other party. I have obtained the treasure of the Guardian Beast <. I got the guardian beast . for fulfilling the condition <>. I have obtained the title [Guardian of the Mistiffs]. I have obtained the title [Adjudicator]. Cloak appraisal results [cloak ......? I have a feeling that you''re not going to like it. Hand armor appraisal results [...... Mm] is a cloak lined with a black, soft-to-the-touch fur, though it is a mystery whether it is Ishvaan fur on the inside. The white texture definitely beats it, though!¡¡The item''s effect seems to be enhanced at night by the [presence perception] skill blocking. The item "He who sees signs" can trace the user backwards and see the user when the user is being probed by the "presence detecting" skill, and can make a light attack on the user if he/she wishes. The last two titles are mystery titles. Guardian of Mistiff] is a reward for clearing the Aldvaan event, and its effect is to increase the status of pets and summoned beasts of the [Darkness] attribute, especially Mistiff. I wonder if this will also enhance Bahamut. ....... The effect of [Adjudicator] is a subtle one that allows movement to the location of a recognized conflict: ....... Why do I have to go and get myself involved? The reason why it was released is because it was involved with Princess Sylvia''s fianc¨¦e event, but since the description almost only mentions the fianc¨¦e, I think it is a different title from Yuni and the others. "Sage ......" "So this event was related to the evil gods." "So it wasn''t Bahamut!" As I was checking what I had received, there was a conversation in the background. Are there any evil god related events going on at Yuni and Yuni''s?¡¡I don''t know why Bahamut is in the picture. I''m curious, but I guess I''m not supposed to ask that if I''m trying to solve a riddle. It looks like it''s covered with water, so it''s all good. They seem to have changed their clothes, but I''d like to bathe them as soon as possible. I wonder if they are waiting for their turn to take a bath. ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ More... Title [He who sees signs...] Guardian of the Mystiffs [Adjudicator] [Adjudicator] [Adjudicator] [Adjudicator ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ 297 - - Rest Bathrooms were located separately in each guest room. Maybe we should build an open-air bath for everyone on the island. There are plans to add a bath in the general store, and I''ve already asked Trinh to renovate the liquor store. Maybe it will be ready when I get back, but I haven''t bought a bathtub or more furniture yet. "Well, I guess I''m going to have to give up now." We each went to our hastily assigned private bath rooms, but Cal and I were not wet, so there was no need to take a bath. I don''t feel comfortable taking a bath in someone''s house, let alone in an inn, so I plan to take a bath after I return home. Cal is supposed to be having some sort of debriefing with the Prime Minister, the boy king, and Yuni and the others. I''m skipping it because it''s too much trouble. --That''s why there''s no one in the room right now. Now, give up and leave me to it. "......!" "You look like a villain." White gives me a half-awed look, but I don''t care. He is now approaching Aldvaan with a brush. "I can finally do something about the hairball in my ass." "That''s your first order of business!¡¡Isn''t that funny!" Aldvaan, who is wayward on his knees. "Give up on the fact that he''s crazy. "Be willing, or your participation in the battle is doubtful. --Well, I''m going home." When White says he is leaving, I put my cheek against his to check the moistness and smoothness of his skin. "See you later, White." "Hmm." White sniffles and disappears. "Come on, get ready." It''s brushing time. Enough!¡¡...... tsk." "Okay, okay, be quiet!" "I''m proud of my ......, even if it''s rotten." I think it would ruin your pride if you had a hairball on your butt. "Finally, he''s as good as a normal Myspiff." A few minutes later, Aldvaan is slumped in my lap. It''s like d¨¦j¨¤ vu. I miss the time when I met White. After petting him for a while, he wakes up and comes into my lap. "Black?" "......" Silent in the bosom. Definitely the black one! He ends the fluff time by lightly patting Black on his clothes as he enters his pocket, and takes out <>. The dark-colored cover opens to reveal a series of blank pages. He puts the bell-like incense burner which Ishvaan gave him on the blank paper. The incense burner dives into the pages of the picture book like water swallowing a drop of water. I was a little confused about how to use it, but it seems to be the right thing to do. A pattern decorating the edge of the white page appears, and the whole page becomes dark, and the picture of the black figure stretching vaguely and the incense burner appears. ...... Could this darkness be inside my clothes?¡¡I spread the collar of my jacket and peeked in. Yes, the picture became brighter and the black moved, so it''s definitely inside my clothes. --What about when he is close to me without calling me through the picture book?¡¡It''s a mystery. I''ll add the white tiger, Liddell, and Kuzunoha later. Speaking of which, what should we do about the "dependents"?¡¡Bahamut and White please ......, or no more Mistiffs. There may be more on the island, but I can''t and won''t take them into battle. Maybe the best kind to place more of them in dungeons of my own making, but I can''t think of anything but dragons. My ambition is to place as many dragons as possible. And if you can end it with Bahamut ......, no one will be able to conquer it no matter what happens on the way!¡¡I can''t do it either. "Oh!¡¡Is the old man still at the meeting?" Galahad came into the room with a towel around his neck. He always does the raven''s swim, but this time it had been longer, so he must have gotten cold. "He''s not back yet." "Piggy!" I just finished polishing Bahamut and served him the loin meat dropped from the Minotaur. I stopped and heard a cry of urging. "Don''t eat like that! "Seeing Bahamut eat makes me want to eat meat." Bahamut looks happy though I can''t read his expression as he bites into a big piece of meat, watching him makes me hungry. "Pigyah!" "Yes, yes, have a good postprandial workout. I''ll see you at the grocery store on the way home." "Piggya!" "...... still letting them off the leash?" I have no intention of locking you up. "Shall I lock the door?" The next to return was Eagle, who saw me cuddling the tiles that had been evoked as promised, and locked the door as he entered. "Oh, a key?¡¡Can you open it?" Eagle opened the door, but Camilla also locked it as soon as she entered. Tile''s fur is short and soft and smooth, but his cheeks are fluffy. "Oh. Clear out, clear out." When all three had arrived, Galahad had the tiles removed. We''ve done our business. Let''s go home as soon as Cal arrives. "Homura, thank you. Thanks for the towel. I''ll wash it and give it back to you. After taking a bath, Camilla smelled differently from usual and kissed me on the hairline of my forehead. Her face is at zero distance from mine, and her breasts are close too!¡¡What a perk for just handing over the towel. "Here you go." There was a knock at the door and Cal''s voice. Galahad invites Kalu, who has returned with the prime minister. Galahad invites him in. "I am sorry for the trouble you have caused in my country, and I am sorry for your displeasure. Thank you for appeasing the guardian beast. I didn''t see him, but the boy king seemed to be behind him. He looked mysterious and began to speak. "Release all the transients in Sadiras. Hadil, King of Sadiras, salutes the Lord Lenguard." No, I don''t like it when you bow to me with that nervous look on your face. "I accept." Camilla, standing next to me on the sofa, pokes me and whispers to me. The boy king lifts his head with a relieved face. How scared am I? "I''m home." "Welcome home!" I come back to the general store, Lapidus and Noel hug me as usual. They are about the same age as the boy king, but they are not afraid of me, and I pet them more than usual. "Welcome home!" Reno also stood up to greet me. "Welcome home." "Don''t mix with the others!" Curtesy sinks deeper with a steady motion. Ur-Lolo, who never moves a muscle, though what is going on inside her skirt is a mystery to her. At least it would be acceptable if it were a child''s greeting to the ballet. "Well, it''s a little early for dinner. "Yes." Lapidus groped his forehead happily and Noel''s bouncy voice replied. The royal palace of Sadiras was elegant and beautifully furnished, not too glamorous, but still, home felt right. Now, I could have done everything with my skills, but the first time I make a dish, I want to adjust the taste to my liking and register it. So I use my skills to save time, but I cook in the kitchen every time. I like the smell and the appearance of the food when I am making it, because they stimulate my appetite. First, heat the back fat of the pork to remove the oil. The white fat shrinks rapidly and is replaced by a flood of fat that bubbles up in little bubbles. I move the fat, which has shrunk and turned a little golden brown, away from Galahad, who peeks at me, and hand it to him with a little salt. "Oh, man, I want a drink!" he says. "Yeah, I''ll give you a beer." Not now, though, because dinner will not be served. Besides, if you eat too much of this, the fat will give you heartburn, and it''s only good in small quantities. A block of pork is rubbed with salt and sansho (Japanese pepper) and then deep-fried in the fat. The heat is reduced and accelerated, and by the time the fat cools down, the big chunks of meat are moist and the fat is juicy. Cut into 5mm slices and fry with garlic and chili peppers, leeks and bell peppers, seasoned with a sweet miso sauce. Plenty of meat. "Here you go, sir." Ur-Lolo quickly prepares the dish and brings it to the table. ...... d*mn!¡¡I''m afraid I''m going to be claimed as a resident, what should I do? Stop slipping in and out of sight without a care in the world! Cut carrots and daikon radish into half-moon slices, burdock root into thin diagonal slices, lotus root, taro, shiitake and maitake mushrooms, drained tofu, torn konnyaku, chicken ...... fry in a thick pan with sake and soup stock, soy sauce to taste. You don''t have to add broth, but if you add a lot of mushrooms, the flavor will deepen by itself. And for some reason, it tastes better when made in large quantities. The main dish is Kenchen Udon noodles with fried rice cake. The inclusion of chicken is a departure from the vegetarian Kenchin Jiru, but that''s okay. Dessert is not served yet, but it is ice cream mixed with berries. I was going to make a steak, seeing the way Bahamut eats, but he is going to play with Shin and his friends tomorrow. I changed my mind because I am sure they will ask for meat. "This fat is so soft and translucent, it''s not sticky at all. Camilla eats it elegantly even though it is a large ingredient. "The meat is delicious!" Galahad grabs a large amount of food with chopsticks and stuffs it into his mouth, then drinks a beer with gusto. It''s a wonder he doesn''t look vulgar, but rather appetizing as he eats. "Sorry it''s not steak. I''m sorry it''s not a steak. Help me with the minotaur later." It would be nice if they serve not only mino, tongue, and loin, but also sirloin. We are also looking for shanks for curries and soups. "Oh, I''ll do it this time. "Oh, now I''m going to... I don''t mean to be rude, but can I have some of this meat for Mr. Partin?" "Oh, you can have the whole fat in a jar. You can steam the fat to remove the hardened, white, stuck-on fat. ...... doesn''t sound like something I would do. Take it with you and wrap it up." Leno offered to help. We''ll have to start over again, but we''ll need vegetables along the way, so it''s perfect. Thank you." Can we try the pet call is ranked so much higher that the result is about the same. The key to the flavor is the delicious and aromatic soy sauce made from the same <>. "Now that you''ve eaten and got hot, ice cream would be nice. It''s delicious. I''ll brag about it to my sister." Ur-Lolo chimes in with Eagle''s thoughts. "Stop!¡¡I can only see a future where he will come to this safe haven too!" "I agree, but stop treating my sleeve like a safe haven." Krulkan''s face comes out of his cuff and he makes a fuss. "Piggy!" A voice called out to me, and when I opened the window, Bahamut jumped in. --You''re covered in blood again, what are you doing here? 298 - - The Bulletin Board 17 Discovery of Event] part103 [Spoiler Alert]. abbreviation 264 Nobody To Sadilas. Guardian beast <<< black beast mystif>> confirmed. There was also an event related to the evil god 265 Mr. Nobody Oh?

I think there was a battle there. 267 Nobody It''s not so clear. 268 Nobody To be more specific, I''ve been working with Lengard on a raid. And the guardian beasts were fought by Lengard''s mystiffs. Lengard was also defeating evil god-related enemies. 269 Nobody Buboku! Why is Master Lengard 270 Nobody Because the guardian beast was related to an evil god? At least I''m reformed now. Next time, if it''s approved, Mistiff''s It looks like you can get something like a spirit. 271 Nobody Oh, yeah? How was the battle with Mr. Lengard? 272 Mr. Nobody >>271 Aftermath.

Well, but I''m curious to hear more about Lengard. 280 Nobody I knew Master Lengard was an evil god related Is it related to the main storyline? 281 Nobody Other from Lengard. The word "sphinx" came up. Spider is a thunder beast, right? I''m thinking it''s a sealed beast. 282 Nobody Oh. Alice, or Bahamut, or any of the other beasts of the seal. I''m sure you''ll get involved. 283 Nobody Maybe you''ll be able to get the Black Mistiff You can get an item to capture a man of the White White Throne when you go to see him. 284 Nobody What are the conditions? 285 Nobody I don''t know yet. I think it means to pick up some information. And the white mystiff that Lengard had with him. I thought it might be the beast of the seal. Lengard, little by little, showing us the sealed beast. I predict that he is leaking information. 286 Mr. Nobody >>285 I can meet the spirits in the courtyard of the Fast''s temple. I heard there was originally a <> there. He said they disappeared right after the gentiles showed up. But there are very few mystiffs in the world. He said there''s still some left, so look for them. 287 Nobody Yeah, that sounds like the beast of the seal. I didn''t know the seal had already been broken. 288 Nobody I''ve heard glimpses of it being unraveled. I propose the theory that Mr. Lengard is going around unraveling them. 289 Nobody >>288 The wise man on the front and back side of the table is unbeknownst to the player. So you''re active? 290 Nobody The system that follows the wise man and solves the mysteries of the world. 291 Nobody Lengard,N!?

Will it be in the event before the last boss? Is it actually the last boss? Or is it a hidden boss after the last boss? I''m guessing it''s one of them.

It doesn''t even show up in the status at first. It doesn''t look like a normal fascination. 953 Nobody Does the player get it too? 954 Nobody I don''t know? It looks like the target of the water splashing is a knight from N!C. Were there any knights nearby? >>948 955 Nobody There was a W. I see. So that''s it. 956 Nobody I heard there are nine tails in the empire. It''s possible that he''s being manipulated regardless of his intentions. I was explained in the temple that Is this for people who are trading Patoka for knights? They''ll give you holy water. 957 Nobody >>956 The holy water in the temple is like this: ...... The one in the glass container. His Eminence Kyle is going to give me a gift.

I want to live in a grocery store Continued below ----------------------------------- 299 - - The Crane and the Lost Palace "Piggya!" "......!!!!" Krulkan quickly withdraws into his sleeve. Is it really a sealed beast?¡¡I''m getting worried. "There''s poor Nyoro! He should give up his arm to me, the winged serpent. Ur-Lolo gives a cold stare into the cuffs. You''re not just kin, you''re brother and sister! "Injured?" I held Bahamut in my arms, cleaned the blood off him with life magic, and looked here and there, but there seemed to be no open wounds or new injuries. "Lord ......" "Oh, my God. Oh, my God." I cleaned up the Bahamut in my arm and I''m a bloody trap. While I was looking at Bahamut, Camilla cleaned me up. Noel is cleaning up a little stain on the floor. "You''ve got something. Whoa whoa whoa! Bahamut peeks out and bashes Galahad away with a feather. "Are you okay?" "Ow!" Galahad, holding his shoulder and frowning, recovers. "...... I guess they''re taking it easy on him, considering his original size." "Black Hydra, it went right through you." They''ve got the signs pretty well under control, don''t they? And there''s Lapidus and Noel. I don''t know why this guy wants to touch it so easily." Camilla and Eagle argue. By the way, Galahad was bitten by Bahamut for messing around, and Porgy poked him too. "You know, ......" "Yeah?" "Who''s the dragon over here?" Come to think of it, was that the first time you met Reno? Bahamut. "Bahamut ......, is it?" His face is still difficult to read, but he seems to have a very doubtful look on his face, perhaps because of the tone of his voice. "Pigyaku!" "Hmm?¡¡You''ll give it to me?" When he held out his hand, Bahamut dropped something in his hand--a magic stone. "What kind of magic stone is it?" Rank 38 Attributes Lightning, Bloodshed Remarks It is possible to give or strengthen the lightning or bloodshed attribute by production. "Mixed Blood Dragon ......" I have heard this word recently. I wonder if the lightning attribute is still yellow?¡¡Let''s just say it''s my imagination that I''ve heard of ....... Even if it was someone''s pet, it will come back anyway! "Piggya!" "Thank you." He strokes Bahamut''s throat and thanks him. I hope I can make something good out of it since you brought it here. "Yes, Bahamut. Can I make you my family?" "Pigya!" I wondered if it was a good thing, or just a reflex. I wondered if the most powerful dragon, even if it is a pet, would accept my invitation so easily. I use my [Family] skill, feeling a little uneasy. --It seems that he accepted me, and I was able to make him my family. "Pygya!" With a single cry, Bahamut disappeared into the blue jewel I was wearing. "Is that where he lives?" "Yes. I live here." "I''ve heard rumors, but is that Bahamut?" Maybe it''s that Bahamut. "......" Leno, who seemed to have a lot of questions and things to say but couldn''t seem to get the words right, clammed up. He just sat there thinking. Well, I''m going to take a bath and go to bed. No, I''ll be productive for a while, tomorrow in the real world I''ll be in the labyrinth with my friends as soon as I get back home. I want to take care of the house and the garden, but I must go to bed. I''ve quietly dropped one level in the [Herding] category, but it can''t be helped if I have that many animals to begin with. The liquor store had already been expanded. On the fourth floor, we built two large baths and a room for lounging. I suggested that we move the rooms to the fourth floor since they could face south and be larger, but everyone said they were satisfied with the current arrangement, so we ended up halfway through the project. We are busy producing and packing the goods into the warehouse. I would like to make something new, but I don''t have time. All right, good night! ¡î ¡î ¡î ¡î ¡î ¡î ¡î ¡î ¡î ¡î ¡î ¡î ¡î Homura: I''m home! Leo: Here they come!¡¡They''re here! Shin: Oh!¡¡Welcome home! Chrysanthemum Princess: Welcome back, sir! Peter: Welcome back, I''m at the fountain square. Ochazuke: Miniska required!¡¡Come quick, I''ll give you your medicine. Homura: Are you a mini-skirt ...... Peter: Sew w Today we will be taking down a succubus, which has recently become popular. Succubus move across several levels in the labyrinth, but it turns out that they can be lured with items, and if they are all female, they can avoid [charm] and [confusion], and the difficulty level will be much lower because there will be no more troublesome friendly encounters. Since many of the players were young girls and it was expected that they would fight over the items, we decided to try it before it became popular in earnest. The medicine Ochazuke refers to is a that was on the casino''s prize lineup. Unlike the <>, it is not permanent and can be used easily. No, it is not easy to use, both in terms of price and shame. "Wahahahaha!¡¡This way, this way." As soon as I entered the fountain plaza, I found Leo waving to me. No, Leo found me. "We''re here, we''re here." Singh laughs. "Here you go." "Are you sure it''s for free?" He asks as he accepts the medicine from Ochazuke. "The original cost is almost free." Peter glances at Leo and Shin. "Wahahahahaha ...... haaaaaaaaaa." "Unuuuuhhhh." "Neither of you are good at gambling!" The drugs were the opposite (...) of what Leo and Shin were betting on at the casino, and were procured by Ochazuke and Peter. "Get yourself together!¡¡Come on, let''s do it all at once!" "Then let''s drink at the same time." I agree with Leo, who changes the subject without opposition. < changes gender, but also randomly changes appearance. The appearance is definitely based on the original body, but the age can be different, the breasts can be flabby or glamorous, and so on. It is said that a more expensive drug would allow some degree of specification. "This is a kind of a gamble, isn''t it?" "Yeah!" Shin reacts to the word "gamble. "I''m looking forward to it, aren''t you?" A little girl who is a complete stranger! "Se-no!" Everyone shouts "Gotta go! A puff of smoke rises up and hides the original appearance, then the smoke dissipates. "Oh my god!¡¡It''s terrible!" "Hey, Shin!¡¡That''s just cross-dressing!¡¡My perfect beauty in comparison." "Ochazuke, you haven''t changed!" "Wa-ha-ha-ha!¡¡My m-ne!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Leo is becoming a glamorous beauty! "Homura, you''ve become a little girl!" "Peter is a girl with a ponytail! No, I thought about it calmly, the ponytail was the original. "Huh.... Leo looks amazing!" Shin is a woman who looks like a cross-dresser in her original form, Ochazuke is a type of person who doesn''t know what has changed, Leo is a bonky bonk, Peter is a neat and tidy girl, and I am a young girl the same height as Kikuhime. "You''ve got the right initial equipment, except for the oatmeal. Peter says with a laugh. "My equipment, it turns out, is for both men and women." I''m going to buy some clothes and leave for the labyrinth. I plan to sell the equipment I bought when I''m done, so this is just a temporary splurge. But considering the people I''ll be fighting, I wonder if I''ll be outbid when I sell it off, since it will definitely be less durable. "You look good in everything you wear, me." Ochazuke puts on a fancy dress. "I''m beautiful!" Leo in a dress that shows off his curves and half of his chest. "I love it, I''m so bony." Shin, whose clothes are popping with her pectoral muscles. It''s just a temporary splurge, right?¡¡We''re going back, right?¡¡And why is Shin just putting lipstick on his original face? "Why are you both in first person as Atashi ......?" "It''s all in the groove!" I mumbled something, but Shin cut me off. "Homura, can I borrow your equipment?" "Please reject the mini-skirts." "Nothing but mini-skirts." I''m more of an absolute area person than a raw leg person, but please don''t put them on yourself. How old do you think I am inside? "Oh, you don''t wear them?" The mini-skirted ponytail just spoke to me!¡¡Already equipped? !¡¡A black pleated skirt with a single stripe the same color as her hair at the hem, a white sleeveless shirt that split at the waist like a swallow''s tail, and a short tie that matched her skirt. Black gloves and short boots. Peter, you''re on a roll, aren''t you! A white robe dress and <. The main staff is a , a slender staff that is easy for small hands to handle. The usual cane is used in a floating position. I bought several identical white robe dresses! Once you have your equipment, go to the labyrinth. "Granted." "Okay, I''ll ring it up." Peter rings the bell just as Ochazuke finishes applying the ability boost. "Whoa!¡¡Hearts are flying!" Leo is right, every time the bell rings, a pink heart effect is emitted from the little bell. "There''s one for incubus too, but I heard that one makes lip marks fly out." "You don''t want to!" Kikuhime said a few words at Ochazuke''s words. Either she doesn''t like the incubus or she doesn''t like the lip effect. Well, I hate both. "Is there such a thing as an incubus?" "You have the item, so you must have it somewhere, right?" Peter answers my question by ringing a bell. "I don''t think anyone would be happy if you were here. Succubus is a female dreamer, incubus is a male dreamer. I can understand Shin''s grumbling. "You know, the message board was getting excited because Succubus gave Retsubi and the others naughty titles." "Too many ulterior motives." I''ll shelve it, even though I have those skills myself! "Uhhh, who are you calling me?" "Oops, here he comes, huh?" "Shin, stop sneering with that face of yours." "You''re disgusting!" "Oh, my God!" "Wa-ha-ha-ha!" Shin grinned, and Ochazuke and Kikuhime tskked. Shin looks shocked. Normally, Shin does not look so shocked. He sometimes looks cool, especially before a battle, when his seriousness about his profession comes out. But right now, it''s the red lipstick smeared on his mouth and the pink on his cheeks. ....... 300 - - 298. Sacubus vs. Clan "Are none of them women ......?" Succubus looks around the party angrily and stops speaking at Shin. "Uh-huh." Shin purses his lips and winks at me. "......" "Hey Shin, he just shut up!" "Stop the visual violence!" Ochazuke and Kikuhime complain. "Oh, my God!" "Where did you get that handkerchief? I''m the one who is always snapping at Shin as he bites down on his handkerchief and pulls it away. "Ha-ha-ha-ha!" "......Make fun of me!¡¡I''ll show you what I''m talking about!" An angry succubus raises her scythe. "It''s physical as soon as they stop fighting each other." Ochazuke applies a grant of status increase while speaking. "Let''s go!" Kikuhime holds up a great axe that completely conceals herself, and puts in a provocative skill. "I''m coming!" "Hmph." Leo and Peter run off. "[Kuroyoh] ." Thinking of unimportant things, they all raise their defenses before the scythe reaches Kikuhime. "Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!" Leo shakes his head in rapture, and Peter strikes a glorious blow next to him, showing his underpants. "Oh, the basic status changes when you change your gender. Don''t think it''s the same as usual." "Or is it the equipment?¡¡Leo, it''s always the same equipment." Peter to the attention of Ochazuke. I remember when I got the , I was quite confused when I had them on and when I didn''t. I think it is especially hard for physical workers. I got used to it because I switch my equipment frequently, but when I have normal equipment, I often stay in a fixed position, not moving. I pretend to be a wizard, which is just fine. "Melt!" Succubus that sprays dissolving liquid when attacked. The victim is pickled in tea, and her white shoulders are exposed. "Oh, my durability!¡¡It will lose value when you sell it off!" "Only there! Kikuhime, with a tsk tsk, uses her great axe to block the attack. "You''ve already learned to defend yourself with your weapon enough to use it in a real battle, haven''t you?" "......" I said I was impressed, but he didn''t reply. "Kikuhime?" I''m getting rave reviews and averted glances! "If you don''t use it, you won''t get to the next level!" "Eh, hey!¡¡You can''t be serious!¡¡Don''t you want to stop because I''m going to be busy?" Ochazuke protests, but Kikuhime turns her head to the day after tomorrow and whistles like a whistler, even though she can''t whistle. "Ha ha ha!¡¡I''m just the way I am, except for my pants!" Shin puts his fist in the succubus. She is wearing her usual black leather jacket, heavy black boots, and a black tube top that covers her chest and thighs.¡¡Dressed in a bath towel wrapped tightly around his body. "Why didn''t you leave your pants on too? "You can see my pants!" And the usual boxer shorts (white) . "It would have been easier to pretend not to see them if they were at least black. ......" "A pantyhose?" Peter, smiling and punching himself in the face [back attack] and going back in . "Oh wow!¡¡I hit it!" "I''m trying to hold Succubus in place so it doesn''t move, but I don''t want it to hit me!" Kikuhime not only protects us from enemy attacks, but also keeps Succubus from changing direction for Leo, Peter, and Shin, who have many skills that change damage depending on the direction they hit, and also keeps Succubus from moving so that it is easy to hit them with combos. "Why is our clan so chaotic in battle?" While casting wind magic on Succubus, he wonders. Ochazuke is a good healer, Peter is more skillful than strong, Shin is serious about fighting, and Kikuhime is doing her best even though she is not suited for the job due to her race. Leo is ......,Leo is a creature called Leo, so don''t worry about it. "Hey, Homura. Why are you returning all the succubus lysate?" "Something about [skill return] seems to work well." Ochazuke asks, and I answer. It seems that it is difficult to trigger against individual skills, but the success rate is high against skills that are randomly fired. Succubus sends physical attacks to those who are high in hate, while the dissolving fluid is often sent to the rear guard. I think that the first rare species that I fought had a dissolve with damage from physical attacks, but the succubus that I am facing now does not seem to have it. "It''s easy to block [charm], isn''t it? Succubus uses three kinds of [charm], a naughty one, a one that confuses and attacks allies or heals succubus, and a one that confuses and hits skills of both friend and foe. The naughty one can be replaced by confusion if you are wearing pants. They use "charm" quite often, so it seems to be very hard if you fight with them seriously. "Even though they are area bosses, they are a little too strong to be in this layer. Shadow Rebellion "Yeah, [Ardent Fire] was having a hard time." Peter, who joined the conversation, used a skill in which a number of drill tips appeared in the succubus''s shadow, slightly delayed by the physical attack. They were so powerful that they penetrated through her thighs, exposing her pale skin. "Wait. Don''t ignore me?¡¡I''m already half-naked." Here''s the fact that I didn''t go through with it. "Let''s see, [water magic] ?" A wall of water is placed in front of the oatmeal. Some people specialize in defense or assistance, but I am an offensive wizard, give it up. "It''s so fake!" "Wahahahahaha!" Leo, too, has apparently become a regular participant in the attack. "What the hell!¡¡You guys!¡¡What the hell? The succubus is confused because things are not going her way. "Oyaaah!¡¡[Hou] . ...... Pants again! "Princess Kikuhime, do you want some pants?" "I don''t want it. I want a cloth." "Oh, I want hair, so if you don''t use it, why don''t you trade it for cloth?" Peter, what use is hair? I''ll buy your pants. "Are you going to wear it?" "We''ll process it and sell it off. It''s a very popular equipment among girls now." Ochazuke is still working on his gap business. "Wa-ha-ha-ha!¡¡I don''t need pants, so I''ll give it to you!¡¡Does anyone need any more magic rings?" "I have five fingers, but I can only wear so many." "Oh, I''ll buy it from you." Let''s increase the positive value by alchemy and sell it off again. Thanks to the fixed number of rings that can be equipped, the prices of +4 and +5 are very different. The price for +6 will be much higher. "Whatever, Shin, do something about that bellyband." "I''m so out of it, I don''t really care anymore, do I?" Shin''s tube skirt is pulled up from the top and bottom and gathered around her belly. She is completely perverted in her black leather jacket, heavy boots, white boxer shorts, and black belly band. "I can''t help it if I move," he says. "Because it''s not uneven, you know!" Pulling it up hides her breasts, pulling it down hides her pants--no, it doesn''t hide them at all. "You''re a woman, aren''t you?" Peter confirms it with a smile. "Maybe?¡¡It didn''t [fascinate] me." Even he is in questionable form!" "Ha-ha-ha-ha. That''s terrible!" The pants, ring, and magic stone were exchanged for money, while other items such as jewelry and cloth were bartered in slightly different quantities. After that, they wanted materials for Lesser Zoo, so we had a rematch. And dinner. "I''ve given up and put on pants!" Kikuhime says when she sees that Shin''s skirt is again wrapped around her stomach. "The chest hair is still alive and well again. ......" Shin''s mustache is also still there, just as it was, with a big coat of lipstick on it. "The pants, they''re for men." "What, you can''t wear it?" Ochazuke asks back very curiously. "I''m a woman by status!" Dang beer!¡¡Shin puts it on the desk. "Wa-ha-ha-ha!¡¡You''ll never see it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Leo, a glamorous beauty with a no-nonsense attitude, laughs. "Something like a bug." Bowls of rice are placed in front of each person and beer is served. Pork belly block bowl of <<>. Thick slices of pork belly seasoned with mirin, soy sauce, and sugar and grilled, topped with freshly cooked rice, egg yolk, and chopped green onion. Cabbage with sesame oil, egg yolk and chopped green onion. The glistening pork looks delicious. "Good job!" Everyone is seated, and Peter raises his mug when he sees me sitting down. "Thank you, sir." "Thanks for your help." "Thanks, me." "Oh!¡¡Good work!" "Good work, yay!" About one person thanked himself for his hard work, but he sipped oolong tea without making a comment because it is indeed ochazuke that he has a hard time every time. I hear that recovery becomes more difficult especially when the party makes unexpected moves, but our party is nothing but unexpected. "Ahhh, delicious!¡¡I can''t get enough of the fat and white rice!" "The food tastes so good after all that work." Everyone has their own compliments, which makes me happy and makes cooking worthwhile. "By the way, I was laughing when I saw the Flame King buying the Incubus Yose with a very serious look on his face, which is supposed to avoid succubus if it is played in the succubus area. Peter''s thin smile thickens as he remembers. "Incubus Yose is the one with the flying lip effect?¡¡That''s surreal, isn''t it?" The Flame King seems to be very uncomfortable with succubus. "I don''t think he''d like to be made into a woman, either." "I''d like to see how it changes, or not." Singh stops his mug of beer at the top of his mouth and gazes half-open-eyed into the void. "Oh, and I can''t wait to be buried in the white tiger, black heaven, and white snow......!" He promised to rent me out for an hour after I took the feminization potion. "Ah, yes, yes. Homura''s not a blur." "Can we go to the Clan House later?" If possible, it would be best in terms of size if you could be buried as a young girl. 301 - - Dispatch and Encounter "I got a text, that''s unusual." While taking a break for dessert in the transition room of the labyrinth, you notice that you have received a mail. "You''re a bosch? "I don''t go out in the field." To be a stray is to join a temporary party. If the clan members are not logged in, they are either solo or going somewhere with Galahad and his friends, so it is almost impossible to join a temporary party recruited by a player in this game. This cheesecake is delicious. It has Grand Marnier in it, doesn''t it?" "A hint of the name of the liquor. Kikuhime equals sake." "Grand Marnier?¡¡Was it orange liqueur?" I think I''ve heard of Manier, not Marnier. It finally occurred to me as we were talking about Ochazuke and Peter. "It has orange liqueur and grated orange peel." Today, I''m going with the latest trend and baking a basque cheesecake that is browned on the top and thick on the inside. I flavored it with orange. While conversing, I checked my e-mail and found that it was from Luba in Fuso. "It''s a little bittersweet, isn''t it? "The cheese is rich, but the orange flavor is refreshing. "It smells good, doesn''t it?" Kikuhime''s smells more like sake than orange. "I like it hard, but this is good." It''s so good!" I text, pleased that the cheesecake is so well received. I could type by voice, but I''m having a conversation over here, so I type manually. "Did he ask you out?" "No, just a friend of mine who lives here. He doesn''t seem to be in a hurry to fight, and I''ve asked my friend at the general store to check on him for now, so he''ll be fine. In answer to Kikuhime''s question. I just sent an e-mail to Galahad and others asking if they could go to Fuso to check on the situation, and received a reply. He is a friend of Ruba''s, and he is a good fighter, so I think he will be safe no matter what happens. We also know that he has a flying cavalryman. I''m getting a lot of likes until N!C picks up the quest." "It''s nice to make a lot of money from the guys who pick up the stuff. I have to raise mine." "Is this a quest?" I feel uncomfortable with the conversation between Peter and Ochazuke like this: ....... "Why don''t you look at the menu?¡¡You can even choose who to send on the screen." I looked at the quests section of the menu in Ochazuke''s explanation, and I see something like <>. Yes, <> means to go and get Shiramine. <> is also listed as permanent. I think I haven''t seen a quest section since the last time I went to Mount Huaguo. And what''s more, there''s a list of N.C.''s that can be dispatched for quests: ....... I understand that Lapis and Noel are grayed out because they are in the store, but why is Kalu shown as being on a quest? Well, he must be doing whatever he wants to do, since all the others are <. Reno is escorting, Liddell and Kuznoha are producing. Bahamut and Black are resting and gray. "And the pets, too, because they can''t do quests, but they can produce and fight, depending on the type. My A.L.I.C.E. is free in the labyrinth when I''m logged out. " "If you''re not well-liked, you''ll be skipping around in the bar, or just taking things out and going to dungeons with no loot. Pets only eat up summoning time and don''t get taken out, right?" "Yes. But in the end, if you don''t give them items like recovery, they won''t get much out of it. And if you''re bad, you can''t fight." Peter is too spartan for A.L.I.C.E., though he smiles and talks to Ochazuke. "Oh!¡¡I can''t save my money with all the casino girls winning and losing!" "No, wait. You shouldn''t get so close to him. It seems that Shin had exchanged partner cards with the casino girl, well, he''s a frequent visitor. "Ha-ha-ha!¡¡My Alfa Romeo gets materials, too, you know?" "I often see Leo''s raccoon running wild. Are you sure he''s not just collecting materials? Leo, like me, seems to be a free-range pet. In case you''re wondering, Kikuhime has several servants after winning a drinking contest at a bar. "...... was Bahamut''s walk perhaps a battle dispatch?" "Wait!¡¡I can''t believe they let that thing run free." I don''t care if I hear a reproachful voice from the ochazuke. Some yellow dragon has already done some damage, but who cares? "Oh, no. I''m going to get a big one." Yeah, they sure are taking the big ones!¡¡Like Kojiro!¡¡Peter, you''re not connecting the first half with the context of the second half! "Well, I guess I don''t care." I close the menu screen and pretend I didn''t see it. When you''ve finished eating, get ready for a logout break called sleep. "Bed." Comfy, isn''t it? Kikuhime has finally put a bed in the labyrinth. "d*mn!¡¡My sleeping bag is a thing of the past!" Shin seems to have converted a futon from a cover-up into a sleeping bag. He is clutching a firmer one, looking chagrined. "If you want it, I''ll sell it." Boom, boom, boom, a bed for the number of people appears from Kikuhime''s item pouch. I have a bed in my storage, but since we are going to make matching beds, let''s make them matching. The frame is not named after Kikuhime, but the bedding is hers. They are of a higher grade and feel better than the ones I got from Kikuhime last time. "Wa-ha-ha-ha!¡¡It feels so good!" Leo immediately dives into bed and does a breaststroke-like move. "Hey, you sorry beauty, someone please shut up!" Ochazuke is giving me a disgusted look. The glamorous beauty with long, slender arms and legs, thighs and buttocks is ruined. "I wouldn''t feel anything special if I thought it was Leo, here I am." No matter what he looks like, he oozes Leo''s vibe, or at least he can''t hide it. In my mind, it''s just Leo. "You''re too used to it." Peter taps me on the shoulder and smiles. "But aren''t the Chrysanthemum Princesses in production or combat gear?" "Combat equipment (that way) requires a lot of skill and dexterity. Daily necessities require less skill and can be easily improved through actions. Although the production of combat equipment is no match for the production workers, the production of bed sheets, pillows, and street clothes with no protection is good as long as they are comfortable and well-designed, which seems to be the main focus of Kikuhime''s production. The cushions and covers of the Clan House are all made by Kikuhime. "......" "A bed in the labyrinth?" As I was getting ready to crawl under the covers to sleep, a familiar face came in. "Hey, hey, long time no see. Good evening, sir. --I wasn''t expecting someone, so I''m going to pull over to the wall. Ochazuke greeted Roy and the others as they came in, and Kikuhime stowed them away to move the bed. "Hey, long time no see. Oh, against succubus?" "Oh, yeah. I''ve already finished it and I''m still attacking the labyrinth as usual, but the effect hasn''t worn off yet." Ochazuke explains as he pulls the bed out to the wall. The succubus strategy seems to be a method that has just recently been discussed on the bulletin board, and Roy seems to have known about it. "Ochazuke is the same as before. "Shin is the same..." Momiji and Kaede argue with each other. Is it my imagination that Kaede was slightly upset when she saw Shin? "Mr. Peter has a face, doesn''t he?" Clough calls out to Peter in confusion. It was the safest thing to do, I understand. "By the color of their hair, is this Leo and this Homura? Shirayuri asks me in a relaxed atmosphere as usual. "Oh!¡¡She''s a bonkers beauty!" "Don''t get too comfortable in there, you know. I can see you!" Roy is upset to see Leo bragging about it. "You want to touch it as a souvenir? Leo holds up his boin. Ha!¡¡Now I can hold the tails of maple and maple trees! "Oh, by the way, thanks for the food after the big fight, it was a big help!" Roy, the man with the hidden big tits. "Especially Homura, she gave me a lot of materials for the trap dungeon, was that a good thing?" "Yeah, I can''t use it all myself." There is still a lot of it. "And Shin is still a man, by the way?¡¡Just lipstick?" "You''re a woman in status, in case you''re wondering." Shin winks with his pinky finger in front of his lips. "Ew." Roy takes a step back with a shudder. "I''m scared!" "I''m scared!" Maple trees, maple trees, and maple trees put their hands and cheeks together. The two look exactly alike in symmetrical poses, as if mirrored in a mirror. Their tails wagging cutely. "How rude of me to catch such a beautiful woman!" Shin, who is all smiles. "If you open the transition, will you go forward?¡¡Rest?" "No. I''ve got the material for the zoo, so I''ll go back to processing, and then I''ll be ready for fel fasi." "We''re out of water with [Retsubi]. If the materials were safe, I would have caught up with them quickly. ......" Clough and Dawn''s answer reminds me that I used to compete with the Flame Kings. "You''ve grown quite lovely, by the way." "Yes, really." Stop, don''t look at me! "If you want to play succubus, I recommend it." Dawn and the others frown when Peter smiles at them. "I avoid succubus!" "I want pants~" "I want a black cloth!" "I would love to have a +5 magic ring!" When I said it out loud, the words of maple, momiji, and shillayuri came one after another. "Wa-ha-ha-ha!¡¡A beautiful woman?¡¡You''re going to be a beautiful woman!" Leo, who unreservedly casts a curious eye on Roy and the others. "Oh, no. Let''s go ahead and collect some good materials and trade them." "Oh, oh!¡¡Let''s get on with it, Fer Fasi!" Clough and Roy''s voices are a little oddly inflected. I think I can see a large amount of sweat on their foreheads. "Okay!¡¡You interfered!" Dawn quickly transitions to the outside, followed by two men. "Oh, he got away! "He escaped!" "Hmmm..." The Japanese maple and momiji chase after them, and the shillayuri slowly follow them. "It was so noisy, wasn''t it?" "I don''t think he wants us to tell him that, though." Peter says with a thin smile. I go to bed thinking that we are noisy every time. Good night. 302 - - The Green Hydra Yes, Homura. "What is it?" When I woke up (logged in), Ochazuke was up first and handed me something. It was coffee beans. "Toast and coffee for breakfast, please. "Uh, yes, yes." I reply appropriately to Ochazuke, who asks with a smile, clasping his hands next to his face. I''m a woman now, and maybe people will think I''m cute if they see me. At any rate, stop wearing frilly negligees. I don''t drink, but I like the smell of coffee, so it doesn''t matter. I take out the mill and grind the coffee and prepare hot water in the kettle. The grocery store has a siphon, but outside, I kind of paper drip. A kettle with a long, slender silver spout, a dripper and a server to set the paper. I can''t tell the difference in taste depending on how the beans are brewed, so I''m completely focused on the appearance of the equipment. At any rate, I found that brewing with the flannel drip method makes the coffee taste heavy and oily, so I have gone to paper and siphon. I wonder if it is better to use the nerd drip method or something like that if you like coffee?¡¡I think it is a matter of taste preference. It seems deep, but I''m a tea drinker, so I''m not going to go into it. The table this time is a low table and a sofa provided by Ochazuke. While I was preparing the table, Shin and the others started to get up. Since toast is the only thing we can eat, let''s put a salad and a fried egg on the table. "Which route would you take if you did Hydra?" Fairies, birds, undead, right? Is that usually the case?¡¡If I get a white hydra at the word of ochazuke, I can go to the snake, I think to myself. It''s probably better not to mention it, since it''s a hidden route. "Oh, a bird, please. I''m on a quest and I want to beat Anat." Apparently, Shin has some kind of quest going on. "Bird, got it. Shin, you put too much butter on it." Peter''s assuring line made me look at Shin''s hand, and I saw that he was holding a piece of bread with a lump of butter still in it. "I want to eat it with a block of butter." "Wow. Just looking at it gives me heartburn." "Wa-ha-ha-ha!" "This butter sure tastes good, though." Shin eats toast with a heap of butter with a blissful expression on his face, and the reaction is mixed. "Oh?¡¡It''s round!" For some reason, Leo approaches Maltiki without caution. "Ow!" Naturally, they attack. Only again! "What are you doing? What are you doing?" Kikuhime attacks Martiki and turns hostility toward him, and after confirming it, Ochazuke sends [recovery] to Leo. "It''s business as usual, but your equipment isn''t the same as usual, so the worst that can happen is that you die, okay?" Peter, why are you wearing your inner thighs? I''m half impressed and half dismayed that he doesn''t cut any corners in his character development. "Whoa!¡¡You''re so round!" "What''s wrong with being round?" I don''t understand the logic of Leo''s lament. "I haven''t grown a millimeter since the first time I got [evade] in combat when I started." "Curiosity, kill Leo. [Air Bullet]!" Shin attacks with an answer to Ochazuke, who is about to sigh. "Hmm. I guess a long-range attack will do more damage to the bird down there. Shin is trying different things. This route is mainly for flying enemies, so melee attacks are disadvantageous, and it is hard without long-range attacks. Blows and slashes are difficult to hit, and piercing attacks deal more damage to the enemy. Magic is neither good nor bad. The bow seems to be the strongest here. "That''s what Peter wanted to do a long time ago." You are totally a ninja now! "I hear [throwing] is good, too." "[Throwing a grenade] is throwing money." "The more expensive daggers you throw, the more damage you do. If you use it against enemies on the road, you''ll go broke." "Don''t you ninnin'', ninnin''?" "Ninnin ......?" Interpreter! When I was puzzled because I didn''t understand Leo, Ochazuke shouted to Shin. "Don''t you use shuriken?" "Yes, that''s it!" "I''m a Kuhnai. How can you tell? "That''s what I''m talking about." I''m impressed with Shin who easily solved the mystery of Leo''s words. He has come up against a double-headed eagle and a mill harpy, but he manages to beat them without a hitch. It is the result of Kikuhime''s success in keeping the enemy''s target on the other side. "Homura, please heal me once every five times. "Yes, yes, yes, I understand." The tagging is perfect, but Kikuhime is taking more damage than before because she has left her shield behind and is improving her defensive skills with her great sword. The [Recovery] type of magic tends to attract enemy''s attention, and if used too much, it will take away the enemy''s tagging from Kikuhime. Ochazuke often gets attacked by Leo with [Recovery], but he is a recovery type magician who can handle any kind of battle without trouble if it is not in this chaotic party. While I''m with him, I''ve received invitations from parties that Ochazuke was with during the day. I''m afraid that I''ll be in trouble, so I''m going to have to go to H! I''m the one who throws the recovery medicine. I''m afraid of being rude, so I''m going to throw a recovery medicine. It''s hard to be a healer! At any rate, a normal party can get by with a stable shield and recovery. It''s better to avoid them, do high damage, and finish them quickly, though. People get used to it. Ochazuke is talking to himself in front of the boss. "The battle has become less dangerous, after all." "No, not that way." I affirmed and he denied. --Apparently, it was in response to Shin''s girth. I had stopped caring about it now that I thought of it. "It''s Mr. Green Hydra, isn''t it? As Peter said, the boss we faced was not white. The stage is also a marshy area that looks like a floating island of mud and reeds. --Oh, I remember that White Hydra, the rare boss here, gave me a skirt. Where did I put it? It seems that more and more people have reached the 30th layer of Hydra, and Roy and the Flame Kings have already conquered a little further, so I think it''s time to release the drops up to Hydra, don''t you?¡¡In the meantime, I''ll ask Kikuhime if she has a skirt later. "Kikuhime, can you pull it to the big floating island over there?" "Yes, sir." Bad footholds make it hard to fight, and skills that require speed are negatively compensated. "[Kuroyaki] " Black wings are purple as they go to the tips of the wings. Kuroyoh flies overhead and the party is momentarily enveloped in the wings, and Ochazuke finishes applying the ability boost before the wings disappear. "Thanks for the protection and reinforcement! Kikuhime rushes out, followed by Peter and the others. "Let''s go!¡¡[flying blade]" The skill "Flying Blade" used by Kikuhime seems to be a skill to send attacks from her sword-type weapons. A white shockwave-like substance flies from the blade of Kikuhime''s great sword to Green Hydra, and Kikuhime moves to the floating island indicated in the ochazuke. The hydra, angered by the attack, begins to move to the floating island toward Kikuhime. "Not so fast, is it?" "Thank goodness there are not many footholds, because I would have been in trouble if they were too fast." Peter and Shin argue. On the way to the small floating island behind Hydra, Leo falls into the marsh. "Ha-ha-ha!¡¡I forgot the big one just now and stepped off!" "I think some of the smaller ones sink, so be careful." A beautiful woman covered in mud and with something on her head goes up to the floating island next to Peter. "[Sky] <." I forgot to put it on because I can float. Gogoaah! I guess it''s invalid. Ochazuke was right, the hydra barked and the < was lifted. Oops! "[Tiger] is included, not to mention the . When the head is dropped, hydra''s breath also has more abnormalities. When there are six or eight of them, it is hard to tell what they are. H!? "This is going to be hard if I don''t have ." "<> It''s nice to be able to heal all at once, but the failure rate is also high. The ones that were integrated and originally had it work well." "Does it fail? ......" Please don''t exceed my MID." If you ask me to stop, I''ve probably already exceeded it. Success rate seems to depend on MID. I''ve got five Green Hydra fangs. I''ve got five Green Hydra skins. I got Green Hydra''s hat. I got the Green Hydra''s magic stone. I got the Chlorella Juice x 10. I got the poison resistance ring +5. I got the . "Chlorella juice at ......, right?" "Wahahaha!¡¡Because it was green?" "What do you use it for?¡¡Do you cook homura?" Me! Ochazuke tries to stuff me with chlorella juice. "Oh, you can use it for <>, can''t you?" Peter says the same thing and tries to pack my stuff. "I guess the food is homura!" "Well, yeah." "You know, you know." "Hey, ......!" --In the end, all the chlorella juice was mine. 303 - - Behind the Muffles Above, three people look down from the top of a cavalry boat at a red torii gate in the sea and an island bordered by a white sandy beach that continues behind it. Fuso has a boundary, and one must pass through a gate called Torii to enter. The sea below them is swirling and breaking into whitecaps, perhaps after the rumored passage of the sea dragon. "Well. I''ve heard about it, but this is my first time in Huso. "Homura said he''d keep in touch, but Fuso doesn''t like to interact with the outside world." "I should visit someone named Sakon first, right?" It is easy to pass through the torii gate, but I am not sure if we will be allowed to move to the main island after that. In fact, the merchants have completed their transactions on the small island where the gateway is located, and only a few of them have ever crossed to the main island. Permission to move to the main island requires a recommendation from a resident of Fuso who is of some standing. "I don''t want to be turned away at the gate after coming all this way..." I don''t want to have to go back and report to the old man. "Master Lancelot, I''m sure you would have come here by yourself if it weren''t for the store keeper." "You said you had a letter of introduction from the previous Sword Emperor Ikaruga-sama." With a sigh, the three of us drive our riders through the torii gate. As they land on the beach, several women in scarlet hakama appear to block their way. "Welcome, it is not the time for trade. What brings you to Fuso? His voice is cold, even though he says welcome. When the sea is calm and a stairway appears under the torii gate, it is a short period of trade between Fuso and other countries. Now, the sea swirls, hiding the stairway, and the torii gate appears to be standing in the sea, away from the island. "Hello. I am Eagle, this is Galahad and Camilla. I would like to visit a man named Sakon-dono in Edo. ......" He dismounts and says his name. "Oh. You''ve been contacted, come this way. The cavalry can''t run or fly within the boundaries. Despite the concerns of Galahad and the others, the woman changed her attitude when they told her what they wanted and readily accepted the three of them. They followed the woman to a shrine surrounded by trees, an unusual building for Galahad and the three others. "It''s a very tricky place, isn''t it?" "So this is what Master Lancelot said would be good training." "I''ve certainly learned to minimize the use of my skills for maximum effect." "That old man, if you know what you''re talking about, you''d better explain it to me." The permission to move, which I was most worried about, was easily obtained, and although I was unexpectedly restricted from using my skills and magic, I arrived safely in Jiangdu a few days later. It was too late to visit people, so after spending the night, I had just found the house on the map that Homura had drawn for me. "Leave that aside. Are you sure this is the place?" The structure was unfamiliar, but the size of the house and its grounds, visible through the gated pine trees, were distinctly different from the houses we had seen before. "This must be it. "I think Homura was only in Fuso for a short time, but his friendships are as mysterious as ever." This convinces me that I can certainly get permission to move. Again, after informing him of my business, I was easily ushered into the house, and although I had to wait for a while, I was able to meet Sakon. "I''m sorry for the trouble I''ve caused you. No, I am indebted to you, Homura-dono. And if you are talking about the fire at the Kaji meeting, the Nishi family has nothing to do with it. Sakon''s "association" corresponds to an organization known as a guild in other countries. "Amatsu-dono, Ruba-dono, are you here? We were shown to a quiet house that smelled of charcoal and earth. "Come in, Sakon-dono." Inside, a child is sitting on the earthen floor and drooping, and several men with difficult faces, including Luba, are sitting on the wooden floor in front of him. "We''ve been given a warning, so we''ve gathered here." Tianjin says shortly with a frown. "It''s not a very nice composition for a child to be on the ground, is it?" No, I did something I shouldn''t have done! When Galahad tried to stand the child on the earthen floor, the child screamed in tears and fell down. Galahad pulls back his outstretched hand and turns his attention to Luba and the man in the center--Tianjin. Both Eagle and Camilla wait silently for an explanation. "...... that child is a sinner who has extinguished a precious fire that has been burning since before Fuso was cut off from the world." An old man in a purple hakama tells us this with a haunting tone. The two young men in pale blue hakama who look coldly at the child are the old man''s attendants. Once a year, we smiths dedicate a new sword to the castle as a guardian blade. It is a part of the ward against the demons. The fire that is used to make the sword has been roughly extinguished. Sighing, Tianjin tells the story. "Fuso is a place where two worlds overlap, the world of man and the world of demons. The world of humans and the world of demons overlap in Fusang. If it is broken, half of the people will surely die. Sakon interrupts with an explanation. "That''s a big deal." Galahad looks worriedly at a crying child lying face down on the earthen floor and murmurs in a whisper. "It''s a special fire that we can''t get here in Fuso anymore, but I thought maybe outside. Luba says. "Hmph!¡¡It''s not something you can get easily out there either!¡¡How much, how much we of the Fire Company have cherished ......!" Silence falls on the angry but tearful old man. "Anyway, just tell me what kind of fire it is." "Even if you can''t, we''ll try." Camilla and Eagle intercede. "If you want to know so much, I will tell you, the fire that has been extinguished is the fire of . Silence falls again at the old man''s words. "Look here!¡¡It no longer exists here in Fuso, and even if it were outside, it would not be readily available. Koto will be overrun by demons!" The old man laughs as he cries, and Tianjin and Luba look aghast. "Uh, no." "I''m having a little trouble reacting." "That fire, that fire, right?¡¡...... in the kitchen." In the tragic atmosphere, only three people were puzzled. "If you''re a little girl, you can''t reach the white tiger''s face." "You''re the smallest, just like Atechi, aren''t you?" While I was waiting in my room, playing with the white tiger''s chest hair, Peter and Kikuhime brought Kuroten and Shirayuki as promised. Today is the day to be buried in the promised fluff. Even without the exchange, I probably would have joined in the festivities of the clan, but that''s that...that''s that. An Alfa Romeo peeks out from behind Kikuhime and Peter. The red raccoon, Alfa Romeo, with its round ears and fluffy tail, does not look like a fast-riding cavalry animal. The owner, Leo, seems to have logged out right after calling Alfa Romeo to the clan house due to a toilet problem in the real world. Shin is being interviewed by Ochazuke about the casino girl. Why don''t Shin and Leo just buy what they need and then go on a spending spree? "Well, here we go!" Four feather comforters. I''m serious. "It''s romantic to sleep in fluffy beds, isn''t it? A feather quilt was laid out on the carpeted floor, waiting for us. A feather comforter is necessary for an ideal fluffy room, not a waste of money. The four cavaliers have made a cat dumpling for me, and I am buried in the middle of the dumpling. They usually don''t stick to each other so much, but when I asked them to lie down, they looked as if they had no choice. Alfa Romeo usually prefers to be outside than inside the house and sleeps in a tree trunk around the house, so it is rare that he is in the house when Leo is not around. "Oh!" They are fluffy, fluffy, fluffy. The white tiger''s fur is silky and muscular, while Kuroten''s black fur is shiny and a little more supple than the white tiger''s. Shirayuki is pure white and soft to the touch, including its body. Alfa Romeo''s fur is soft and fluffy, especially his ears are wonderful to the touch. "Well, my cavalrymen are soft to the touch thanks to Homura''s brushing." Peter lies between the black and white tigers on the outside of the cat group. The white tiger is especially soft to the touch. And it''s a miracle that the Alfa Romeo is so soft! Kikuhime sits down between Shirayuki and the Alfa Romeo and starts serving sake and knobs. Oh. I want to be buried forever. After the appointed time, Kikuhime runs to the production and Alfa Romeo runs out of the house, and the dream time is over. I receive a text message from Galahad calling me. "Don''t get kidnapped. There was a player who was taken away by the guards for messing with a little girl the other day. "Busted. What are you doing? What are you doing? Peter left a disturbing note and went with A.L.I.C.E. to the poisonous plant garden. He pats the white tiger and serves it ice cream. He seems to like any kind of ice cream, from ice cream to just frozen fruit juice. I''ll put some of his favorites in the clan''s shared warehouse for Shirayuki and the others - I''m sure we can get some meat from the lizard monster drop for Kuroten, right? And for the subtly unfortunate Ochazuke no Kuroyaki and Shin no Takeda-kun. With Fluffy in my mind, I head for the general store. "How did you get in here, girl?" I opened the door to the third floor of the liquor store and was stopped by Galahad. While I was wondering what to say to him, Kal collected me from the side and while I was puzzled, he made me sit on the sofa and gently handed me a black one that he had caught from somewhere. I''m going to have to take better care of my fur. "Hey." "Lord, would you like a cup of tea?" Galahad looks suspicious, but Cal kneels down by the sofa, looks at me, and asks me about it. "How can you tell?¡¡Tea, please." "Yes." Cal smiles at me. "Yes?" Galahad is stunned. "Why do you look like that?" Not the black one, but the Aldvaan one?¡¡He''s petting me like a big boy. Apparently, everyone can recognize me except Galahad. "I''m going to play succubus with some friends. I''ll be back around tomorrow." "Homura!" "You should at least know your Lord when you see him." With a smile on his face, Cal grabs Galahad by the forehead with one hand and smirks at him. "Oh, no, no, no, no, no!" I looked at Cal and saw Galahad''s head creaking, though he didn''t seem to be exerting much effort. "What''s going on?" Camilla and Eagle came out of the room. "Sorry, I''m making a scene because I was dressed like this." "Homura?" Yes. Sorry it''s so late." I''ll go ahead and identify myself before any more incidents occur. Tea, my Lord. Thank you. There''s a brief flurry of activity again, and when things finally calm down, I find myself on Camilla''s lap. There''s a soft obstacle behind me. ...... I shouldn''t lean on it, should I? "You''ll be back tomorrow, I wanted to see a little more!" They braided my hair. "By the way, what''s going on with Luba?" "Oh, ......." When I asked, Galahad and Eagle blatantly looked away. I could hear Camilla sighing behind me. What happened! 304 - - The Fire of Asha Good morning. A fascinating two consecutive holidays. Yesterday I logged in early in the morning and was a little girl for almost the whole day--five days if you don''t count the breaks and sleep--so I''m relieved to be back to normal and have a high field of vision. <, so I used it on Sunday, when we all had the day off. I''m closed on Mondays, so it''s a rare double holiday! It is still early in the morning, so I kill time by producing and wait for everyone to wake up. Today I am going to Fuso. If possible, I wanted to go to the hot springs with the whole group as a consolation trip for the general store, but thinking about it, the enemies are strong and it is not safe for Lapidus and Noel. We''ll build a hot spring in the house, but first we need to get some lumber and do something about the house. When I asked Kuzunoha what he wanted, he said something about a northern or a western pair of houses, which sounded like a sleeping quarters, but would I really be able to build it?¡¡Or should it be something else similar?¡¡I''m worried. He wants to increase the number of foxes in his household, so he hopes it will be spacious. Good morning, sir. "Good morning." He stops his smelting and turns to Noel, who calls out to him and gives him a reserved hug. It seems that she wakes up earlier than Lapidus in the morning to prepare medicines. Recently, he seems to be working on the guild''s requests with Lapidus. I would like him to enjoy his childhood more slowly, but I guess it''s just the environment. But I can''t stay with him all the time, so I try to hold him when I see him and have a lot of skin-to-skin contact with him. It''s time for brushing in the morning. Good morning. "Good morning, Lapidus!" Cal and Lapidus woke up too. "Good morning, let''s move to the living room, it''s too small." For some reason, Lapis seems to like to lie down on my lap to be brushed, which makes me feel like I''m brushing a dog. He has a lot of hair and it''s long, so does it make him tired to be brushed sitting down?¡¡His tail is also fluffy. I heard that it''s possible to cause an ear-pulling event, but how do you do it?¡¡In this world, ear cleaning is basically unnecessary because of the life magic. There is no toilet in this world, but there is a toilet only in the house where there is a stomachache event, so there must be some kind of flag. "Oh my God, this is delicious!" I made cinnamon French toast for breakfast and Camilla loved it. Cal, Reno, and Noel seem to like it too, but Galahad, Eagle, Lapidus, and Krulkan are not so good or not so good. Black is a mystery, since he snatched a sausage and retired to his bunk. The main meal was French toast, a small loaf of bread and butter, corn soup, vegetable salad, sausage and bacon, and a Western-style breakfast. --What shall we eat in Fuso? "Homura, I have a favor to ask you." "What?¡¡That''s unusual." After lunch, while I was drinking tea, I received a request from Reno. "Could you be present at the battle between Mr. Partin and the Green Dragon and the Fire Dragon in half a month''s time?" "Two against one?¡¡I''m pretty sure I''m being courted by two of them." And I think those two were on my kill list. Especially the green dragon that attacked Luba''s hometown. "One by one, in that order. I''m hoping that Seiryuu will be there as well. ......" Apparently, they have no problem with a one-on-one challenge, but they are concerned about the possibility that two of them might challenge them without complying with the terms of the agreement. This is the year of the tree, and the power of the green dragon will increase. It may be a blue dragon to suppress the fire dragon, but the green--wood strengthens the fire. "Okay, let me know when you set the date." "Thank you very much." By the way, you don''t mean the blue dragon, do you? We''ve been waiting for you. I''m going to Fuso at the meeting time. I and Galahad and the three of us are transferred. The location is a shrine in the section of the Nishi family where Sakon is. Sakon, Amane, and Ruba had already arrived to pick us up. Cal will join us later. It will take some time to get there after finishing his work at the general store and walking from the other location. Fuso is a place where ordinary cavalry can''t fly because of the pressure of the seal, and cavalry is usually forbidden without permission. I think I''ve seen Bahamut flying around, but I''m not on it, so I guess it''s safe. It''s been a long time. Sorry to call you. "It''s been a long time, thank you for today." Luba apologizes and Sakon bows his head. "No, I had some business to attend to. Can you tell me about a nice hot spring later?" "Hot springs?¡¡In the territory of the West, there is a hot spring in Yufumine. I will write a letter of introduction. "Thank you." "Is that man not here this time?" After some light introductions and greetings from Galahad and the others, Amane asked. Is it about Peter? "He''s not here right now, can I call him later?" I think I''ll go to Fuyao Palace and log in when I get back. "Okay, whatever." Amane turns away a little grumpily. "Cal--Lancelot will be here later." "Oh, um, yes!¡¡I''ve got contacts in the North family, so I''ll go get a letter of introduction to the hot springs too!¡¡Yuzufumine is also good, but the North House still has some snow on the ground, so it''s the North House for this season." I''m not sure what''s going to lead to a referral for a hot spring. "Yuzufu-mine..." "The season that suits you, Master Lancelot, is winter or spring!" "......Yes, it is already a little hotter in Yuzufumine than in Shirakogawa. If it were a little earlier, the fresh greenery would be beautiful, and if it were in autumn, there would be the famous morning mist and the autumn leaves would be beautiful. It seems that Sakon''s pride in his country was overpowered by something in Amane. Amane, by the way, is not a member of the northern family, nor is she related to them in any way. I am a little worried that I might shatter Amane''s dream of becoming a <>, but I will ask her to give up or to think that Cal is a different person. I was planning to just ask for an introduction and come back later, but I guess I''m going to end up in a hot spring. I''m going to ask for an introduction and come back later, but I''m pretty sure I''m going to end up in the hot springs. I''ll pick you up at Sakon''s house tomorrow at five after noon. Amane leaves, saying something like, "I''ll have to make arrangements right away. "Did she just come to give me a message?¡¡Homura told me about your traveling companions, right?" "You''re a fan of the old man?" I''ve been a little busy. The three look over at the basket Amane is in. "Galahad met the three of you for a little while when he was wearing his pajama gear." "Oh, yes, there he is. But at least tell me it was during the attack on Agravain." "Sakon is a legitimate son of the West family, right?¡¡Did you let someone like that see you dressed like that?" "They kicked me out before I had time to change!" Should I keep quiet about the fact that I was seen by a woman of a higher rank? Now, to the house of fire. "Sorry for the noise." Eagle, the man who kicked Sakon out, smiles and apologizes with a "I''m not like them" look on his face. On the way, we buy some grilled dumplings. I wonder if they are Isobe dumplings because they are wrapped in seaweed.¡¡I need to get some seaweed. Nori, kelp, dried bonito flakes, and some koji at the koji shop. Also hinoki saplings for Noh masks, camphorwood, cinnamon, and magnolia. By the way, Peter wants to make Japanese chests of drawers, and he has asked me for paulownia wood as well. Well, Peter may not be able to make it in time, but let''s invite him to the hot spring. "Homura, didn''t you say someone stopped you from eating skewers dressed like that? "I''m not wearing a mask, so please be safe." "You''re out." "I think I''m out." Luba is laughing without making a sound. The four of them are terrible. Cloak appraisal result [Please don''t put a stain on it, I have a feeling that you''re not going to do that. Hand armor appraisal results [......mm] I can clean the stain with my life magic, no problem! "Come to think of it, was there only one fire shrine protecting the fire?" "At first, fire houses existed in many places. However, over the long period of time that they were sealed, the original presence of the gods faded away, and the fires that had been protecting them disappeared without any apparent reason. It is said that here in Fuso, the fire of Asha burns only under special conditions, and that the fire that is transferred to the furnace for forging does not last more than 20 days. The reason why there are so many crafts and forges in spite of the limited skills is because of the seal that Lusha, the god of gold, gave to the swordsmiths.¡¡I descended Kuzunoha and it came out. We''re here. A long staircase and a forest of Shinto shrines before us. I feel as if I have arrived or not? As I passed through the torii gate, I felt a slight change in temperature. The sound of birdsong and the rustling of leaves ceased for a moment, as if it were an event area, and then we began to hear them again. Perhaps it was because the road we had walked on was not paved and a little dusty, but the air here was clean and calm. The air here is clean and calm, perhaps because the road we have been walking on is not paved and a little dusty. It''s too much trouble to keep a poker face in front of the big guy, so I try to hide it. "Are you the one with the fire of Asha?" "Yes, but where should I light it?" An old man with a beard, dressed like a Shinto priest, came out to greet them. He was accompanied by two others dressed the same, but in different colors of hakama, and they were behind the bearded priest, their hands folded in their sleeves and their faces hidden by their sleeves, which were raised to eye level. I''d like to get on with my shopping, so please keep the formalities to a minimum. I don''t mind the refreshing feeling I get in this place, as if my back is straightened. This way, sir. He looks at me from head to toe once, then turns away to guide me. The two priests raise their hands slightly in a slight bow and follow me. We passed through the hall of worship and entered the main shrine beyond. The bearded priest stops and bows in front of the noren. Following him, I bowed my head, and the two priests turned to the left and right and opened the noren. In the dimly lit room, there was a candelabra in the shape of a flower with a shiny transparent stone the size of a walnut. "Put the fire of Asha on the vajra stone of time. A vajra stone is a diamond. I have an image of it being expensive in Japan. ....... And I thought it had to be 600 degrees Celsius or something like that to burn.¡¡Does it burn?¡¡I heard that if it burns, it won''t even leave ashes, but it won''t burn unless the conditions are right, right?¡¡It would be embarrassing if it didn''t burn. I take out two black stones with flickering flames, <>, and strike them lightly with my heart pounding. "I think we should transfer the fire to ......." Before Sakon could finish his sentence, the transparent stone turned white and the vajra stone began to burn, emitting an orange glow. "Oh!¡¡Oh, wow!" "<> is on fire!" The candelabra with the vajra stone on it reflects the light and illuminates the room. The decorations in the room also reflect the light and light up the fire of . I was relieved to see that the "Fire of Asha" was correctly identified. "It''s quite beautiful." In a room with deep shadows, the white gemstones burning as brightly as white in the fire of asha are beautiful. It is a special gemstone, and so far it shows no sign of burning out. "Oh!¡¡Oh, wow!" The bearded god was talking like a fur seal, and when I looked at him to see what was going on, he was shedding copious tears. Why did he just light a fire? "I thought it was to transfer the spark of that burns somewhere. ....... Maybe you can always turn it on after it goes out ......?" Ruba muttered in dismay. "That method is troublesome, and if we transfer it from the kamado, it could be a or a ." "In the garden?" "You have a record, don''t you? ......" I am the one who looks away from Camilla''s words with rapt attention. 305 - - 303. Enjoying Fusosha Sakon took me to a tempura restaurant for lunch. If Sakon introduced us, the tempura chef must be a special individual, and it must be delicious. Soba, sushi, tempura, and eel are the must-try dishes. A boar-tooth boat takes us up a small river, and we find a tasteful building surrounded by trees. It is old but well maintained and has an atmosphere of history without being dark - I wonder if I look out of place in this outfit. "I''m a little nervous." "I can handle chopsticks thanks to the homura." Galahad and Eagle also looked a little uneasy at the appearance of the building. "The sake is good!" Luba looks happy, as if he has been here before. The aroma of sesame oil fills the air, and we take our places at the one-panel counter. They can fry the fish in front of you in the tatami room, but we decided that it would be better to sit in a chair. I definitely prefer to sit here, where I can watch the chefs at their best. Here you go. I can''t drink, but I''m in the mood for sake, so I accept Sakon''s sake - but the smell puts me off. "Whew. It''s delicious." "It smells gorgeous on the palate, but it doesn''t linger." It''s so refreshing. "You can''t stop alternating it with tempura." The four of them seemed to enjoy it. Sakon looked happy and satisfied, and I joined them for tea. The first thing that came out was prawns. <. The shell of the head seems to have been removed, but the orange-colored legs spreading out through the batter looked like fireworks. The crispy legs and the rich morsels, the meat is firm and sweet. Squid, gingko nuts, whiting. The sweet potatoes are thickly sliced, crispy on the outside and sweet on the inside. Sashimi and a small bowl of hamo (pike conger) in a well-cooled broth, perhaps to refresh the palate. When you drop the conger eel into the oil, the batter spreads like a flower, and the conger eel is crisply cut in two and placed on a plate lined with Japanese paper. Myoga, white sea bream. The tempura was cooked with a precise heat, which seemed to be changed depending on the ingredients, and the batter crumbled easily in the mouth, conveying the sweetness of the ingredients. We were very satisfied. Homura, I want ramen! One man was not satisfied. We leave the restaurant and are rocked on the boar boat on our way home, all except me, who seems to be feeling good after a few more drinks. "You''re not worried about your stomach, are you?" "I''m sure you''ll be able to pick them eventually." Eagle and Camilla''s eyes are on Galahad''s belly. "It was good, but I feel like I just ate a side dish. "Come to think of it, I didn''t see any rice." Ramen, I had sealed it off because there seemed to be a lot of people who were particular about each of them. But when I wanted to eat it myself, I thought it would be good at the grocery store, and Galahad got into it. He eats any kind of ramen with a good appetite, which is good. Is this a phenomenon that people want to eat ramen after drinking? I should prepare a small amount of Ramen for when I''m a little short or hungry. Since we are on a boat, I made oil soba. The name sounds oily, but it is a kind of ramen without soup. Thick, chilled noodles, thick, tender pork chashu pork, bamboo shoots, chopped nori seaweed, and a half-boiled egg. There is sauce in the bottom of the bowl, so stir it well before eating. You can also add hot sauce and vinegar if you like. Thank you. Oh, yes, it''s good! Galahad slurps up the ramen with relish, and eventually everyone, including me, adds ramen. I think it is a kind of talent to look so delicious and happy while eating. "By the way, was that a fair price? Sakon asks. I got one from the fire shrine, a , which was growing in the precincts of the shrine. If that was not enough, he said, he would prepare some seedlings of good-looking trees for me before I returned from Fuso. No, well, my granddaughter and I started crying a lot and I couldn''t stand it. He told me that it was the bearded priest''s granddaughter who put out the fire, and he cried again afterwards, saying that he had saved her from a harsh punishment. "I didn''t realize it was one of my relatives who was so angry." "I wonder if it was because they were my relatives." "I''m sure he was, he''s not the kind of person who raises his voice or gets upset like that." Sakon tells Galahad and Camilla. "But from what you said, the fire there was already weak and almost extinguished, wasn''t it?" Yes, it has held up better than some of the other fire companies. However, it is certain that they lost one of their procedures, and I think they could not be blamed for it from their standpoint. We do not want to work under a lot of pressure in this world. I''m sure there is a sense of accomplishment and pride, but only in the real world. I will get a sense of tension and accomplishment from boss battles. "Wasn''t there a strong weapon in the treasure hall?" The treasure house offered me a reward of my choice, but I declined. The armor would be better with my current equipment, and the weapons-- "With that fire, Ruba will make a good sword, right?" "Oh. The stones from the furnace will be shared with us." Luba smiles happily and makes an undertaking. He says that he will be able to share various items that are used in the equipment that Tianjin has. Ruba will resume sword forging at Fast after he finishes his training in Fuso, and we are looking forward to seeing what kind of swords he can make. "When the sword is launched, you should have a blessing ceremony at the fire shrine. The Lord of the Blessed Bird will be pleased. Sakon means the bearded Shinto priest. Oh... I wanted a ninja sword for "Kumo Yoru Zangetsu". I can''t say that now. ....... I was relieved to see that the < that I got by defeating Ikaruga was also on the skill list, although the mark was gone. It must have taken me much longer than now to learn it after my level up. You have to save up the skill points. I wonder if there are any quests to get skill points other than leveling up.¡¡Let''s look for some serious quests, shall we? ¡î ¡î ¡î ¡î ¡î ¡î ¡î ¡î ¡î ¡î ¡î ¡î "Ugh!" I came to see Ukon and almost fell into the underworld, forgetting my boundaries. I spent yesterday getting bamboo shoots, ranked wild vegetables, buying Japanese cooking utensils, having a rabbit made out of candy craft, and having Momiji and Camilla compete for my lap at night, and today only Sakon and I are at the castle to see Ukon. Galahad and the others must be training to lose weight ...... against Ikaruga and Kate. Are you okay?" "I''d like to have room for at least one tatami mat. ......" Please don''t open the sliding door and find a hole. The room Ukon is in is the border between the yin world and the yang world - the world of demons and the world of humans, a pitch-black hole through which the yin world blows out into our world. To a normal person, the room looks like a tatami room, though the atmosphere is a bit (ah...) strange, with sealing charms and candles and so on. I can see it if I''m not careful thanks to the [Eye of Verus], and I almost fell in because I can pass through the boundary with the [Boundary Crosser of Heaven and Earth]. ....... "You''re the only one who can pass through this ward." A dismayed voice comes from the center of the room. "Long time no see, Ukon." "Ah, it''s been a long time. I''m glad to see you''re still the same. "It was like you were dealing with something swollen before I got here, what was that?" It was hard to tell if the woman in the white kosode and scarlet hakama was a miko or a courtesan, but the people I encountered along the way did not make eye contact with me. Even the tour guide was a bit intimidated, and this was without a mask in the castle. "I don''t have one." Ukon covers his mouth with a fan and averts his gaze. "The Lord of Thunder, you know." "Last time was the last time, you know." Amane and Sakon laugh bitterly. Amane was already in the room because she was working for Ukon. "Ukon-sama is also stirring things up, and you are being misunderstood here. "I can''t deny that there are some things I can''t deny. ......" I''m afraid to ask how on earth I''ve been misunderstood. It seems that Koume also makes it a habit to come here to drop thunderbolts. "I heard you''re going to a hot spring?¡¡I''m jealous." Ukon, dressed in a white kosode and scarlet hakama, with his long black hair tied in a bun at the back of his head with a piece of washi paper and tied with an ornamental cord of the same scarlet color as the hakama, is seated on a stone holding down the Yin-Kai. After the tea and sweets were served, the guests were dismissed and now there are only four in the room. The rich and refined sweetness of yokan goes well with the darker taste of gyokuro. "Is it still impossible to leave the castle?" "The first ward is for myself, the next is for this room, which is guarded by many priestesses, and the next is for the castle, which is guarded by each shrine." Ukon counts on his fingers. "If we can get out of the castle, we can transfer and go wherever we want for a short time. It''s not easy to cross the wards, though you have allowed me to cross two of the ones I thought were the most difficult to cross. Ukon laughs and says that thanks to you, he has been given a lot of freedom. At first the Yin world had grown so large that he could not move from the stone, let alone this room, and was on the verge of breaking the boundary, but when I brought Kuzunoha back home, the Yin chi faded away and Ukon did not have to stay in this room for long. He usually spends his mornings, when the yang qi is increasing, strolling in the garden. "Well, while you''re here in Fuso, I''m glad that the big demons, including Lord Thunder, are quiet. "Speaking of demons, can I go downstairs for a minute?" In the Yin Realm? "I wanted to recover the demons I defeated last time and get some more of the Fuyong Palace''s Egreo oil." He answers Amane''s question by explaining his purpose. "I don''t care. If you kill enough of them, I might at least be able to soak in a hot spring." Ukon jokingly gives his permission. "Thank you." We quickly crossed the boundary into the Yin Realm. Amane and Sakon, who cannot see the warding, must have looked as if they were sinking into the tatami mats. "I wonder why you are so casual about going to the Yin-Kai." "I feel like it''s on the same level as going to a spa." I feel a little defensive about the hot springs, though. "Ukon-sama, it''s more and more like this: ......" The three of us are arguing about something, but I don''t care. We''ve already explored this place. 306 - - The White Peak After a shorter flight than the last time we were here, we are heading for Fuyonggung. Dark clouds are swirling in the sky, but the white moon is visible in the center of them. The approaching enemies scatter their talismans. Though I made it myself, I''m throwing money at it, but I''ll be able to recover it later, since materials from unexplored places can be sold at high prices. The Fuyonggung still floats elegantly on the water on the gray, sharply peaked stone ground. As you pass through the gate, water lilies float in the filled water, and in front of the building, there are still tachibana and cherry blossoms in bloom. Tachibana should have bloomed later than cherry blossoms, but it does not seem to matter here. The good smell of citrus fruits is wafting in the air around the building. Well, I could summon the sake-drinkers, but there might be a fight over which way to put Shiramine, so I''ll go solo here. The black floor reflects my white equipment. I wonder how many times I have painted this floor with egoma oil to get the right color over the years. I proceeded, wondering if I would be able to make a house that would satisfy Kuzunoha, who used to live here. "Oh, oh! Something other than an ogre has wandered into the house! As I entered the room, I heard voices coming from the floor. "Geeaaaah!" I burn the floor silently, screams rising. Fire magic level 40<>, Camilla''s specialty. The fact that she''s been using it since the moment we met means that she''s got three really strong people in her group. Even level 40 can''t beat this floor at once. I know that the mark is not affected by INT, but it''s level 65 or so, even though it''s weak against fire. The difference in level is too big to get much experience. I guess it''s a system to prevent power leveling, where high level takes low level and makes them level up. If you don''t join, it may be good for improving your physical skills, and it is inconvenient to have too much gap between your level and your friends'' level. <''s [Burn] effect will slash burning floorboards from one to the other. The trouble with this enemy is that it is difficult to tell which floor is the main body, but thanks to , it is very easy to tell. If it burns, it is an enemy. It does not seem to have any physical weakness, so it is not a blow, but it is not a troublesome enemy either. I got EB oil of Fuyao Palace x5. I got the EB oil of Fuyao Palace x5. I got the EBA oil of Fuyao Palace x5. I got the EB oil of Fuyao Palace x5. I got the EB oil of Fuyao Palace x5. I got the pass. Well, the floor was right on the left. Let''s go right and go around. Of the four entrances and exits, including the sliding door through which you came in, open the right one with . The enemies have different attack habits, but fire is their weak point except for Toumyou. The light of the lamps works well with [Water Magic] or [Ice Magic] from its appearance, but I laughed a little when I used [Wind Magic] and the fire spread to the enemies that appeared together with it. Was it just for fun? In addition to EB oil, fusuma sliding doors, tokobashira (floor posts), shuridate, itadori (wooden doors), and these are all fine, but the drop of "kotenjo" (high ceilings) makes me feel delicate. Is it possible to pick them up and install them instead of making them? --By the way, which was the correct route?¡¡I''m usually lost. The floor is on the left, the columns are on the right, the kicho is back, and the ceiling is in front. I only remembered about half of them. I got what I wanted more than I needed, and when I put my hand on the sliding door that was supposed to go out next, the sliding door picture that was a pine tree and a pheasant started to distort, and a voice echoed. <<< Shall we go forward in time?¡¡Do you want to go forward?¡¡If you want to go forward, pull me back. When the voice finished, the picture on the sliding door was changed to a demon on each side. The system says, "Do you want to fight again? And the display is: ....... Pull the sliding door of the one that moves forward in time. When you open the sliding door, you see a hazy shadow in front of the blind you came to before, as if a fog has thickened there. A voice leaks from the shadow. "In the morning and evening, when the flowers are waiting..." "In a world of dreams, narekoshi kizuna kizuna, kuti nakutsu..." Apparently, they are singing only the first part of the song. Is that it, or should I read the bottom part of the song? "The rapids are widening, and the rocks are being channelled by the Takigawa River..." "In the May rain, the night when the flowers are in bloom..." "-Autumn, when the moon is shining, is also a thing of the past." I learned this song after defeating Shiramine. Sehahoyami~ is famous in the Hyakunin Isshu (One Hundred Poems), but I chose this one because it is related to Tokijiku no Kakunokonomi (The Fragrant Cake of Tokijiku). It is said that < refers to the fruit of the tachibana tree. "Oh, a welcome!" A shadow slowly turns toward us, clad in color and sharply defined outline. It is the somewhat listless Shiramine we first saw before his transformation. "We''re here!" He opens his book of Enma and shows it to the drunkard. "Oh, oh. Let''s get him out of here. Shiramine, floating on the floor or not, approaches noiselessly and touches the book with his long, knobby fingers. "Now I am free through you. I am the demon that follows you. As soon as he touches her, his back straightens and he assumes a dignified appearance. It is not the kind of atmosphere that one would call out to him casually. "By the way, have you eaten yet?" "Hmm?¡¡You want some?" Remembering that Ukon and the others had said they would not eat quadrupeds, he lays out some Japanese food that looks safe. Half of the fish was boiled in soy sauce, and the other half was sashimi with the skin seared. < "This looks good ......" Shiramine is eaten slowly and elegantly. I can''t just sit and watch, so I pick up a piece of sashimi with a cup of green tea. The sashimi has a faintly fragrant aroma of skin that has been quickly seared on the surface, and the rich subcutaneous fat appears to have melted from the heat. With lemon and salt, it was very delicious!¡¡Meat is good, but fish is good too. The first item is a sake-drinker with a bill and signature. The second item is Shiramine, handprint and signature. The third item is Ibaraki-doji, handprints and signatures. I wonder if the first to be killed or the first to fulfill the terms of the deal will get the signature. And the second item was supposed to be "Doji of Thorns", but it is switched, so I guess the signed item is the younger one. <, Shiramine seems to have finished his meal while he was packing his bag. "...... have you eaten yet?" Hey! I''m sorry, but I found out that he is in a state of "memory impairment". Is it a state abnormality that doesn''t go away even if you cast a spell on it, a weakness, or a weakening?¡¡Will it go back to normal once it levels out like white?¡¡I''m so used to the gods and the pattern of being asked for food at the first sign of an opening that I''m a little sorry I didn''t think the first word was strange. I would like to ask him to return politely, but I wonder if he will return to Fuyong Palace (here). The black floor is polished like a mirror, and the ceiling is a coffered ceiling with flowers of the four seasons painted on each square - a much higher ceiling than usual, but I wonder how big each square is.¡¡A luxurious, dark and lonely room. Fog still hangs in the air in the large space that seems to be the boss stage. He said he wanted to take me out, so I guess I should take him out. But that''s beside the point. "Mr. Nanao~" When I pulled Shiramine''s sleeve and turned the curtain in front of the room, I found Nanao-san lying on the floor, dressed in the same way he had been when we parted. The kuzunoha, which had formed the core of his body, had fallen away, and he was reduced to seven tails, the body and soul of a man with only the power of his body. "......" An emotional reunion!¡¡Though still silent and motionless. "Oh, hey. You''re a beautiful fox. Shiramine looks happy. Even though he''s about 40 years old, he''s still somewhat cute. Brush him off for now. He does his best to avert his eyes, but his ears twitch every now and then. Seven fluffy tails make brushing them worthwhile. The event ends with an offering of fried bean curd. I am sad to leave, but Ukon and the others are worried about me if I leave too late. I thought I could not use the water lilies on the wall to get out of the boss''s room with Shiramine, but he went out as usual. Is it right to take him out? If you float in the sky with your sleeves pulled back, Shiramine will follow you. Is it because he is a demon that he only feels the weight of the sleeves but does not feel the weight of what is inside? I''m home. "Welcome home." With a thud, he appears in the room where Ukon and the others are. Probably, he looks like he is floating on the tatami from the chest up to the floor to everyone except Ukon. "Why don''t you come up here quickly? Amane says. "No, no, no. I''ve got a demon with me. Is there another way out?¡¡This room is not good, is it?" "Well?¡¡It''s your formula, isn''t it?¡¡If you can control the miasma, you''ll be fine in this room. It''s hard for demons to be outside in the daytime." Giggling Ukon. "Ukon-sama ......" Sakon''s voice is slightly chiding. Even though it''s a ceremony, it''s still a demon to be sealed up. Then be my guest. I don''t know of any other exits. "Wait." Hey, what are you bringing? "Homura-sama!" I had plenty of time to spare, but when I pulled Shiramine out, Ukon was on his back, Amane was jumping, and Sakon had his hand on his sword. "What a noisy place this is!" In contrast, Shiramine is relaxed. "Is it my imagination, or does he look like Shiramine to me?" Ukon puts the tip of his folded fan to his mouth and says, puzzled. It''s not my imagination. "Is there a mansion in Fuso where you can keep demons?" "They''re not for sale!" "It''s an abandoned property!" When Ukon''s question was left unanswered, Amane and Sakon responded with screams of denial. The result of the cloak evaluation [I have a feeling that you should choose the right person to ask. Hand armor appraisal result [......mm] ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ...increase... Skill [Formula] <<>. ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ 307 - - The Farce? "I''d like to ask you what you think of me." Ukon says grimly. I knew it was a bad idea to bring Shiramine to Ukon, who seemed to be at the center of holding back the outpouring of chi from the underworld. "Last time, you came back safe and sound, but you didn''t even greet the black mystiff upon your return. Huh? "We were worried about you. The eel bowl was delicious, but..." "Do you want some unadon?" The bowl of eels that I gently offer you. "I''ll take it. --Besides, you seem to be crazy about the old man this time." As I was pulling up Shiramine, who was still half sunk in the tatami mat and looking around curiously, Ukon gave me a glare. "No, I''m not crazy about the old man. ......" Please allow me to correct you on this, as it is a misnomer by any stretch of the imagination. "I''m a woman too, and I''m aware that I''m not the most charming person, but I''m supposed to be one of the beautiful ones.¡¡If you want, I''m a priestess.¡¡Of course I''m a virgin, right?" "Hey, ......!" Wait. Where is this conversation going! "Ukon-sama, how dare you talk to me while eating unadon!" Sakon is also holding a bowl of eel rice in his lap. Amane is lying on his face, holding his forehead against the bowl of eel, so we can expect no support from him. "This bowl of eels is better than the last time, isn''t it? Yes, we aged the sauce properly this time. No, is this a conversation of the same value as the unadon?¡¡I''m the one who doesn''t know the right side of the coin. And please don''t be too graphic, I''m a munchkin. "...... is the rice ready yet?" "Is there nothing in Shiramine?" "I just ate a while ago. ......" I don''t think demons get fat, so I''m not going to do E! will only recover?¡¡I wonder if I can feed them. "He is in a state of blood deficiency. I think we should let him eat as much as he wants until he recovers, don''t you?" Ukon says, as if reading my thoughts. "Okay." Are you missing a lot of things because you''ve been knocked down once and turned into a mist?¡¡Come to think of it, the fog was still floating in the boss room. A weakened boss, I guess. Why do games become weaker when an enemy joins the game? "Shiramine kou ni donburi ......" Sakon is mumbling and looking away. I''ll have a bowl of eels and calm down. "Hmm. It looks like a failure, doesn''t it? Ukon, who was looking at the empty bowl, glances at Amane and says, "I''m sorry. "What?" "Love tactics and all that." Ukon, his thinly smiling mouth covered by a half-open fan, smiles wryly. "I don''t know anything about love. I have a role to play, and this is my nature. But, like I said before, I''m a woman, so I thought I''d do something a little like that at least once. But from the looks of you and the two of you, I''m afraid it was a mistake." Ukon shrugs his shoulders. "No, I was already wondering what you were going to say. ......" I''m weak. Maybe I''m getting a little guidance from Amane. I look at Amane and he averts his eyes. "I''ll introduce you to the hot springs as an apology for putting you through this farce. There''s a palace that hasn''t been used for generations because people haven''t been able to get away from here. It would be a good place for Lord Shiramine to stay." "Thank you." I feel both disappointed and relieved. "No, thanks to you, I''ll be able to leave here for a night or so. Ukon pokes the keystone on which he is sitting with the tip of his fan and says, "I''m going to sit on the stone. It seems that the pressure of the Yin world to break the seal has been reduced by taking Shiramine out. He returns home to Sakon''s house slightly tired. While waiting to board the palanquin with Shiramine, he had to run away from the ladies of the castle, but he made it home safely. The palanquin was not big enough for the two of them, of course, and when they were in trouble, Shiramine was on the roof of the palanquin when they got in. ....... Sakon cried to me not to do so, so Shiramine rode in the palanquin and I walked back on foot next to him. When I flew with my sleeves pulled in the Yin-kai, I felt as if I were an astral body with no weight at all. When I moved horizontally, it followed behind me, and when I moved vertically, it seemed to flow downwards a little. Sake-drinkers and Kojiro are robust!¡¡The physical presence of Kohmei and Momiji is like a ghost. But they don''t seem so feeble.¡¡I''ll do my best to feed them. "Welcome back!¡¡--What''s wrong with Sakon?" Galahad almost laughed and kept a straight face. "I''m sorry, I''m a little tired." Sakon looks a little pale. "Do you want to use <>?" No, I''ll be fine after a short rest. Give me some time to think." "Yeah?" Sakon walks unsteadily down the hallway to report to his grandmother. Will she be all right? Did I do something wrong again? "You went to see someone named Ukon-sama, didn''t you?¡¡From the reactions of Sakon and others around him, he seems to be a man of some status. ......" Eagle seems to think about Camilla''s words. "I''m pretty sure it''s that ghostly thing back there that''s causing all the trouble, right?¡¡What are they called over here, ghosts?" "Is it definite that Homura did something?" Ruba asks curiously at Galahad''s words. Galahad and the others look at me without answering Ruba''s question. "I just brought back some demons." "I''m sure it''s a well-known ogre because of Homura. ......" Eagle with a fresh smile . "Sakon is the one who gets pushed around this time. We''re not familiar with Fuso, so we don''t know how great it is. Galahad is in a bit of a good mood for some reason. "This is Mr. Shiramine, the Imperial Merlin. "Homura ......" Camilla''s voice sounded like she was taken aback. "Don''t introduce specifics!" And a disgusted Galahad. Tonight we will stay at Sakon''s house, and tomorrow we will leave for the hot springs. The destination has been changed from Amane''s recommendation to Ukon''s, but I''m sure it''s a nice place. "By the way, you have a guest. Galahad looks behind me at the garden beyond the open shoji. "Yes?" I look back and see a big, plump drunkard. "A drunkard?" "Homura!" I called out to him, and he came rushing up to me, calling my name, and grabbed me by the chest - only to have his hand slapped off. "What do you intend to do to your master?" I found myself standing next to Red Plum and Galahad. The hand on the great sword and the scepter. "I''m not going to hurt you except in a fight!¡¡Homura, why are you on my side? "Numerically. Red Plum''s three terms are filled in, and they''re the same, right?" The only Enma in Koume is Momijiro and Kojiro, and in Sakutomo''s case, Ibaraki-doji. Except for the small bills or footprints of kobolds, which are automatically moved down. Don''t give me that reason!¡¡They''re a pain in the ass at the palace! "It''s okay, it''s okay. Here, drink." Saying this, I call him into the tatami room and have him hold a large sake cup in his hand. "I''m not okay!¡¡You can''t fool me!" But the sake-drinker sits down on the tatami room and holds the sake cup. "Yes, yes." I pour sake into the sake cup. "Oh, shit, that''s good!" You''re a simple man, aren''t you? "Shut up!" Red Plum sighs deliberately, and the sake-taker says to him, "I''m sorry. "More!" "That''s the demon you saw in the trap dungeon, isn''t it?" "Yes, the big one looks like the demon that crossed swords with Master Lancelot. "Have you had your dinner yet?" At the last word, Galahad and the other four men looked at Shiramine together after a moment''s pause. "He is very busy, is he always like this? Luba is looking at me with a puzzled look. "I''ll introduce you, but in the meantime, please join me for a drink. I''ll get Shiramine a table as well. I serve a table with enough food for everyone, including Sakon. We may have dinner at the house, so I''ll have pickles, miso paste, and sake, but not Shiramine. I have already purchased ten sets of dishes, but will there be enough for Kal, Ukon, Amane, Momijiro, and Kojiro, if all of them are present? "Homura-dono, saplings have arrived from the Shrine of Fire. And this one too..." Sakon came back and called out to him, stepping into the room and freezing. Please give me a break! Why are there three people who are said to be great grudges or great monsters drinking in my mansion!" "No offense, but ....... Well, I''m quiet while I drink." When things get heated up, a battle, or rather a death match, begins, but let''s keep quiet about that. Galahad and the others seem to be looking at Sakon with affection. "It''s too small, let''s remove the fusuma (sliding door). Sakon sighs a long sigh of resignation and begins to set the place in order. You''re a hard worker, aren''t you? The fusuma was removed and the two rooms were opened up to drink together again. I drink green tea. "Oh, yes. I was so upset I almost forgot to give it to you." "Hm?" By the way, you said you received something else from Kamitori-kamijinshu besides saplings. "Not only from the Shrine of Fire, but also from Amatsu-sama and the other blacksmiths. "Not only from the Shrine of Fire, but also from Amatsu-sama and the other blacksmiths. Then Sakon took out a purple cloth wrapped in a purple cloth from his pocket, opened it, and gave it to me. "A gradient ball. ......?" A deep green, transparent, gradient ball emerged from the wrapping. It''s a skill stone. I was asked for advice on what to give as a gift. It seems to make a delicious Hyoban Maru. "Oh?" That makes me so happy!¡¡I''m so happy! I didn''t know this skill stone is also available in a gradient shape. I''m going to use it and learn the skill. The skill I learned is ¡¾Yakuzen¡¿, which seems to be able to make dishes with ingredients such as medicinal herbs that have effects such as recovery and cold resistance. It is said to be less effective than recovery potions, but longer-lasting, and it can be used over and over again with medicines. It is not the main skill to make Hyougo Maru tasty, but I am very happy about it. I don''t have to drink that tasteless stuff anymore! ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ Increase... Skill [Medicinal herbs ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ 308 - - The Night Before Departure "Here it comes, the 2nd Kneecap Championship! Galahad, who has been drinking, announces in a cheerful voice. "No, I''d rather sleep alone. "Homura-sama, may we leave them alone and go to sleep now?" Let''s leave them alone, as Koume would say. My voice did not seem to reach the people who were getting hot as I was made to sit on a cushion piled five layers high, just like a commodity. "Woman, let''s settle this today! Momiji opens the fan in her hand, and six demon fires appear. "You''re bothering Homura!" Camilla runs her fingers horizontally across the floor, followed by flames. "Hmph!¡¡I''m going to win!" A sake swallower grins, shows his fangs, and stomps around. "Why is there a drunkard in the mix?" "He''s just a fighting maniac." Red Plum gives him a cold stare as he replies. "Well, this is an announcement from the venue. You will be disqualified if you break anything. Sakon nodded next to Galahad''s announcement. Peter and Amane had fought once before and cut down a satsuki tree that was being cared for by the family''s chief sword-bearer, and Sakon''s soul almost fell out. The two of them, who are light and light, fight with swords together, and it would be no use if the two of them, who are mainly focused on magic and skill, and the big, or rather large, sake-drinker, get out of control. It is a good thing that the room is facing a large garden where we can train ourselves after the last time. "Is the food ready yet? "I''ll serve you plenty, so eat up." Several plates of side dishes are placed in front of Shiramine. The stage is moved to the garden and the three-way battle begins. Eagle is taking care of a stray bullet that might damage the main house. He is a good man for what he does. "But I''m going to bed. Because it''s a bad time to take a break. It''s time to sound the alarm. So good night. Good morning, sir. Good morning. When I woke up this morning, I found Red Plum and Cal sitting on either side of me with the futon on the other side. Stop, you''re scaring me. "Good morning. Did you make it to the meeting?" "Yes, I''ve met up with the Lord." Hmm?¡¡It''s a subtle phrase. "Is dinner ready yet?" "Yes, yes, good morning." Shiramine''s voice is heard, and he quickly prepares a meal. "What''s wrong?" He asks Cal to look at him as he arranges rice, miso soup, grilled fish, tofu with ume paste, egg omelet, and ohitashi ...... on the table in the style of an innkeeper''s breakfast. "Galahad and the others were already gone when I arrived. "Hmm?" You left first?¡¡Why? "Homura-sama, those who were bothering you last night have been sent away by Shiramine-sama to some place in the Yin Realm. Red Plum tells me. Her eyebrows are slightly furrowed, but she is hiding her mouth with a scepter, so it is difficult to tell whether she is confused or laughing. "It seems that Lord Luba is safe and sound. ......" Cal replies by looking into the next room through the closed sliding door. Yes, Luba was drinking quietly. "Can he come back?" "Unfortunately, neither sake-drinker nor maple leaf is an easy demon to deal with. ...... who can be easily dealt with are eating breakfast there." Red plum with an uninteresting onomatopoeic sound. Our demons don''t get along well with each other. Shiramine is eating his meal in a good mood. "What can I do? Sakon probably knows where the hot spring is, so let''s get ready to leave. At worst, I''d like you to meet me there, or at least come back while I''m in Fuso. Sake-drinker and Momiji, they may not be in their best form in the Yin-kai, but Galahad and the others are strong. I hope they will be safe. I opened the sliding door to wake Luba up in response to the maid''s call across the sliding door to see if he was awake and if she could bring him his breakfast. Luba was quiet, but already ready to go. I tend to forget that, thanks to the [warding] that has been put up, the sliding door is soundproof and perfectly closed. "That was a fan!" I was impressed by what Luba said to me as soon as I opened the sliding door and met his eyes. We were told that we would be welcomed, and we went outside. They already knew that Sakon and the others were not there, so I had no excuse. Are you sure?¡¡Didn''t he say he was a legitimate son?¡¡Are you okay? Amane and Peter were at the gate. "Good morning." "Good morning, Homura." "Good morning." Peter and the two greet each other and look at Amane, who greets them in a made-up voice. Amane''s eyes glanced at Cal. It is a very obvious reaction. "This is Peter, a Gentile friend of mine. The woman is Amane, who took care of me in Fuso. The two men know about Kohmei and Ruba and Kalu, so I omitted them from this report. "I''ve heard a lot about you." Cal smiles and shakes hands. Wait, what kind of rumors? What are you shaking? Ruba shook hands with him as well, and Red Plum bailed faintly to end the greeting. Shiramine originally looked toward the day after tomorrow. "It looks like Sakon is not coming. ......" Amane turns her head to look inside the gate. "There was a little incident yesterday and I''ll join you later. ...... maybe." "I don''t know what happened, but it''s nice that it''s not too noisy." Amane, are you sure you want to do this? "Let me show you around." A smiling Amane stands first. --So you''re saying that for Amane, we''d rather be in the way and she''d rather have Cal!¡¡Your smile is a stranger. Peter: Homura, do you know that all the men at the spa are lenguards?¡¡And there''s one more demon on the web. Homura: I know them all. Yes, the fluffy but powerful-looking ogre, watch out! Peter: What should I watch out for? I don''t know what to watch out for either. Ruba and I were together after the battle with Ikaruga, when I put on the mask during Sakon''s nosebleed incident. He seemed more surprised to see me fighting Ikaruga than to see me as Lengard. Well, I''m basically just a grocer. "I just got a permit for a cavalryman, and more than half of it is wasted..." A group of people who took the reins of their horses on the outskirts of town, as Amane said. "I thought they didn''t allow cavalry in Fuso." I think I heard that. "Usually. Flying was ...... impossible due to the pressure of the seal, and the ground was also inhibited, so it was faster to walk by myself, but now it''s faster to ride a horse. Beasts that can be mounted are more susceptible to the seals. Now, they may be able to fly because of the pressure of the Yin world and the seals that the gods have placed on them. I don''t recommend it, though, because demons can move more freely in the sky than cavalry beasts." Sorry, before that, the only cavalry that can fly is either Reno or Bahamut. Even though Reno can fly, its flight is limited to the water unless you spend a lot of money to prepare items, so Bahamut is the only cavalryman who can fly. Bahamut was flying without any pressure. But I have never ridden a horse before. Is it OK to ride in the same way as a white tiger?¡¡If this is the case, I should have asked Shin''s Takeda-kun to ride me once. Can''t I call the white tiger?¡¡Oh, no. Everyone is already on horseback. Cal, who is used to riding as a knight, is riding with a natural look on his face, and even Peter is looking cool as a daisy. I''ll step on the horse because I have no choice, but don''t act like it''s natural for everyone to be able to ride. It''s normal not to be able to ride!¡¡...... normal, right? "We''re leaving." Amane, looking as reserved as ever, announces this and kicks the horse in the stomach. "Good day to you." He pats the horse''s neck and kicks it lightly in the stomach with various requests. The horse, perhaps well-trained or perhaps thinking that it could not be helped, began to run slowly. Perhaps it was because there were so many horses, but the horse was riding with a red plum who should be able to fly, and it was a little cool to see his kikan (ceremonial headgear) and Amane''s horse in white kosode and scarlet hakama side by side. I was looking at them, but then the horse slowed down and moved to stand next to me. Cal is on the other side before I know it. When I looked at Cal, he smiled at me, and when I looked at Red Plum, he nodded at me. What is it? "Shiramine-sama is behind me, so don''t worry." Red Plum says. "Will there be anything on the way?" Is it quite dangerous that I just don''t know about it? "I won''t answer!¡¡What are you going to fight with Master Lancelot on your right, Lord Thunder on your left, and Lord Shiramine behind you!" Amane is back to normal. "You''re overpowered!¡¡What are you going to do!" I agree, but the strength is down from last night - or is it up now that Cal is in?¡¡Which is it? "Is it a big battle of the monsters?" Peter answers with a smile. "If anyone comes out, it''ll be a bear!" Amane is angry and takes it out on me, and Luba laughs without making a sound. The ride is bumpy, but the direction of the bumps is constant, so it is easier to adjust than the Byakutora. Shiramine, who is behind him, looks like he is riding a horse, but he is floating, so he does not sway with the others. After a while, the road has turned from fresh green to winter. "It''s so elegant!" Ruba is not talking about the scenery, but about Shiramine, who has been reciting a song in the background. The voice is pleasant to the ear. "I can see it now." Amane says so, but all he can see are mountains. "Where is it?" All the scenery you see. The center is so prosperous that it owns everything it can see from the palace, not to mention the borrowed scenery. Borrowed scenery, as described by Kohmei, refers to the incorporation of mountains, the sea, or other background scenery into the composition of the garden. For example, when building a house with a view of Mt. Ukon''s position and power are of such a different level!¡¡Well, he may not be able to move freely and use it. Don''t worry, we''ve traveled together and eaten eel bowls together, so I''m sure he''ll tolerate us even if we do something a little strange. With a little nervousness, I lead my horse to the site, or rather, the territory. Cloak appraisal results [Where is your island? I have a feeling that this is a good thing. Hand armor appraisal result [......mm] My island is not as big as this, and I can get around on foot. Cloak appraisal result [There are sea dragons and spirits, and no one can enter the sea and the sky that overlooks it? I feel a sense of "I''m not sure what''s going on here". Hand armor appraisal result [......mm] It''s just my imagination! 309 - - 307. All Joined We get off the cavalry horse and walk down the stone steps, admiring the snowy landscape. The stone steps are covered with snow, revealing their wet black color. The steps are not a straight, square staircase, but a series of stones of different shapes and sizes, and camellias with snow-covered leaves extend their branches from both sides of the staircase. I like the shrine maiden''s costume in this scenery, though Amane is wearing it. Welcome! Ukon smiles atop a single-paneled wooden platform in the spacious foyer. "Sorry to disturb you." You don''t seem surprised. "You said you could get away for a night or so." As expected, and there''s still not enough food. No problem... we''ll set the table for you. We had breakfast and dinner at Sakon''s house too, except for Shiramine''s. Cal met you on the way back to Fuso, didn''t he? After Peter and Luba greeted each other again, they introduced Cal. "This is Red Plum. Koumei was not sure whether he should introduce them or not, but they seemed to settle for a slight nod of greeting without lowering their gaze at each other. "I thought there would be more people here, but there are relatively few, aren''t there?¡¡Sakon isn''t there either." "I think they will come later. Sakon knows about this place, doesn''t he?" We head for the room as we speak. There is a lady in front of the wooden or latticed door that blocks our way, and she opens it at the right moment, but Ukon does not seem to be concerned about it. He walks at the same speed as if the lady were not there, and does not look at her. "I thought it would be better to stay in the remote area near the hot springs." We crossed the corridor and finally reached the goal. Spacious, Rikyu! The room has a view of the snow-covered garden through a small sliding snow-shoji door. The tatami mats are a light green, as if they had been replaced, and a brazier is placed on the floor for warmth. The tatami mats are a light green, as if they had been reupholstered, and a brazier is placed in the room, making it warm and inviting. There seems to be a hall and several rooms. "Now that you''re settled, I''d like to ask you a few questions. Ukon says as the lady puts down the tea and sweets and steps back. "What?" He undoes Shiramine''s sash and the cord tied around my wrist. First of all, what is that cord? "That''s a bracer cord Tianjin gave me." Peter had given it to me when he had rolled it up from Tianjin. , usually tied to a sword. Why else would you be wearing a Shiramine? "Yeah, I just felt like flying." It was difficult to hold hands on horseback. "Are you trying to prevent me from getting lost, ......?" "Wait!¡¡Is it possible that that is Butterfly''s work in Tianjin? Amane screams from next to a bewildered Ukon. "Yes, that''s right." Hu Chou is a girl who is a blacksmith apprentice in Tianjin. She must have made the sword, since it bears her name when it is examined. "What a waste of an item that is coveted by those who take up the sword in Gangtou. ...... "Amane, it''s not too much to say that it''s a waste since it''s tied by Lord Shiramine." "The way you use ...... is messy." "I can''t deny that either." Ukon and Amane, the tempo of their conversation is indescribable. Amane is expressive and exaggerated, while Ukon''s facial expressions and inflections hardly change at all. "My next question is, how did Peter come here?¡¡You can''t cross by boat this time of year, can you?¡¡I''d like to ask this from a defensive standpoint and to help us deal with the increasing number of gentiles we will be dealing with in the future. Is it a flying type of cavalry animal?" "Oh. I''m just experimenting because my A.L.I.C.E. can float a little. I was going to give up if it didn''t work, but I bribed a seal to give me a foothold." "What kind of situation is that?" "Two seals poking me up the nose, hop-step-jumping." When I poked at him, he gave me a surreal answer. I wondered if the seals were those two accompanying the sea dragons. "If you tell me..." "I''m also going to do some experiments on my own. It''s better if I can come and go on my own." Peter with a fresh smile. I just wanted to take a look at the seal''s picture because it''s hilarious. "You''re crazy!" "Well, if you came through the Otorii gate, I don''t see the problem." --Ah. I look away for a moment at Ukon''s words, wondering if it''s bad to call him without going under the Otorii gate. He knows that I can call Peter on the way to Fuso, so I''ll take it as a nail in the coffin for me. The sweets served were soft rice cakes topped with a sweet, slightly purplish red bean paste. The plate and the three-inch-long black toothpick attached to it are beautiful, though not showy. Everything in this detached house is seamlessly maintained, and the absence of any obtrusive remarks makes you feel at home. I think this is the ideal residence for Kuzunoha. Or should it be a little more flamboyant for a woman?¡¡It will be hard to reach this level in production. Excuse me. I was drinking a cup of hot tea while looking out over the snow-covered garden when a voice called out to me. When Ukon answered, the fusuma (sliding door) opened, and a rush of people came in. "Ukon-sama, I apologize for my late arrival. "Grandpa!¡¡What a place to fly!" "It was cold!¡¡I''m tired. £¡£¡£¡£¡" "I was totally caught up in it." "Master." Homura! "So this is you." Suddenly it became noisy. "And de de de de!" "I thought you were following the Lord?" Galahad eats an iron claw to a smiling Cal. "It''s really noisy. You two should have never come back at all." "What? "You have no part in the conflict, and yet you stand by your master''s side with an innocent face. ......!" Sake-drinkers and red leaves are being shot at by the red plum blossoms. "Is dinner ready yet?" "Don''t make too much noise or you''ll be sent to Shiramine again." While serving Shiramine zoni and pickles, he warned him not to make any more noise. The silence that had just been so quiet, as if the sound was being absorbed into the snow, was now replaced by a sharp contrast. "I''ve been having a quiet time. ......" "It was a brief silence." Luba and Peter apparently felt the same way. Peter, however, is used to the noise he makes with Leo and Singh every time, so he half-smiles. "No, wait. Who''s there?" There is one face in the mix that I don''t recognize. A child of unknown gender with a pretty face but a cold impression--perhaps an ogre. "What? You''re not related to Homura?" We''ve never met before. "I wouldn''t be surprised if there are one or two more demons now." Amane is surprised and Ukon is taken aback. "I have nothing to do with this demon, okay?" Why do I look like I''m in charge? "This is Kaja-dono, ......." Sakon introduces himself with some difficulty. "I am the lord of Ki no Shiro, to whom you have sent a troop." "Tai?" Hmm? Why do Galahad and the others blatantly turn their heads away? ....... "Uh . Maybe these guys were causing trouble. ......" "Oh!¡¡And I dropped a castle on the way!" A sake drinker with a good face. You dropped it! "Homura, I''m sorry. I was surrounded by demons with spears when I left. "Sake-drinker and Momiji started fighting, so I thought they were enemies. ......" "I thought I''d been thrown right into the middle of the enemy." Galahad and Eagle, Camilla says. So you just went and fought with all your might. "Of course there are guards in the castle. The crown prince says coldly. He seems so wise for a child. I guess he''s not as old or strong as he looks. What''s the damage? Or is he going to pay for it? The ogres will come back again even if they are defeated, but how many castles have they destroyed? "Homura-sama, please bring me the book of Enma, the book of the drunkard." I was thinking that I would have to visit Onino Castle and fix it with my skills, but before I could get an answer from Kaja, he urged me to get the out of Beni Ume. "My side again!" I had nothing to do with any of this. The drunken man shouted, and then he was given a glance by Red Plum, who sat down and scratched his head. "What?" "The crown prince was defeated by the one sent by Homura-sama. This is the story of your becoming a demon. Red Plum explains the situation to me, and I''m about to blow up. Peter: More and more, more and more. Homura: Why, why is this happening? Peter: The owner is responsible for the WWW. Homura: vomiting blood That''s why we have more demons. "Are you a demon whore?" Ukon''s one word sticks in the mind. Out of the corner of my eye, I see Peter laughing, and out of sight, I hear Galahad screaming as he is being punished again. "Well, aren''t you glad we made it back together?" "Onino Castle is half destroyed." Amane tries to forcefully summarize the situation, and Kaja puts on a cold voice. "Now that we''re all here, I''ll have them set the table." Ukon claps his hands. "Oh, Kojiro''s going to start yelling, so we''ll get one more. I had already told Sakon about this, but just in case he hadn''t been able to join us until just now. I''m afraid that Beni Ume might not like it, but I''ll let her give up on it. It seems that Kojiro does not intend to take the first demon away from her, but I wonder if that is not the reason why she does not like it. "I''m going to call Ibaraki Doji, too, since I''ve come all this way. Is it okay if there are two more? It seems that Peter also calls for a loincloth girl. "I''d say it doesn''t matter if we have one or two more. I''m not sure about the appetite of ogres - do you think they''ll last?" Ukon gives instructions to a lady who appears while worrying about the kitchen situation. "Oh, after the first meal, I''ll serve snacks and drinks too. Don''t worry, I have a bottle of strong sake for the demons in my pocket for today. While the food is being brought in, we summon Kojiro. Come to think of it, I haven''t summoned Mr. Kagewani yet. I''ve been treating him as one of the others, but I''ll summon him for battle next time. "Did you call him? Yes, it''s the feast I promised you. Kojiro has helped (?????)me (????)with it." "Kya!¡¡Sake-drinker!¡¡Sake-drinking!" Ugh!¡¡Thorny!" As soon as he arrives, Ibaraki-doji flies not to Peter but to Sakutomo. He''s wearing a happi (happi coat). ....... "Peter, shouldn''t you make him wear it a little more?" My efforts to persuade him were limited to the happi coat, but I think he would listen to Peter, who had a signed bill of exchange. "I plan to get a quieter demon." "He''s not going to call up the thorny child." "Huh." If it is convenient, he will call out in any attire, but a noisy one would not fit Peter''s fighting style. But he does call out at banquets, so he must be doing well. Maybe. At any rate, everyone is here. You didn''t forget to call them, did you? ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ More... Skills [Formula] <<> ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ 310 - - The Feast of the Devil Aperitif is plum wine. I can''t drink strong sake, but I can drink this much. Hassun, originally an eight-sided cedar tray, is a square tray made of hegi-wood. As the name implies, the tray is a luxurious dish consisting of several small, bite-sized portions of seasonal seafood and mountain delicacies. To put it simply, it is an appetizer for sake. My eyes hurt a little, but I get my rice and soup first. I think it''s bad that the rice comes out later, and that kaiseki is a menu that assumes that you are supposed to drink. Spicy boiled rape blossoms, yuba and shirasu (baby sardines), konbujime (flounder), clams in a shell container, kumquat with leaves, kuromame (black soybeans). ...... Is this the season around February or March? The food is delicious and beautifully arranged. A bowl of soup with sake lees, followed by sashimi of sea bream, red clams and tunas. "You''re so modest!" It''s beautiful, but not popular with drinkers. Well, if they are big, they have big mouths. They prepared large chopsticks for us, but they still look small and hard to handle. Kojiro, who is also big, uses his small chopsticks dexterously and eats neatly, while Sake-drinker crushes his food as much as he can. They are almost in order of arrival, so Sake-Takeru is far away from us, but we can hear him because of his loud voice. Kojiro talks when he talks, but usually he only says "mmm" or "ah" or two words, so he is eating in silence this time. "It''s quite a spectacle, isn''t it? A banquet with five families including the center and demons. Cal laughs and says. The man looks well behaved even when he is sitting on his knees. At the banquet outside, he does not show his likes and dislikes, and seems to eat well. "If it weren''t for Homura-sama, I''d be slurping blood instead of sake. Red Plum smiles slightly at the mention of something dangerous. "I didn''t think anything of it when I sat with S-rank adventurers, but ....... Now you''re probably wondering why I''m mixed in here." "Huh. If you think about how it happened, you lose." Luba sips his drink, and Peter replies. After Koume, Peter, Luba, and Ukon come next. I am sorry for Luba, but he and Peter are buffers against the demons. Shiramine is diagonally behind me, ignoring the order of the tables. "Ahhh.... Ahhh.... Lancelot-sama ......" Amane has been mumbling in a slurred manner since a while ago, but I wonder if Cal is completely through with it because he''s used to being squealed on and having his cheeks tinted. I do my best to avoid eye contact. No, wait, Sakon and Ukon - or rather, all of them!¡¡Am I not training well enough for this? "It seems that the fleshy little girl is not very interested in you, stranger." "It''s not love, but it''s a way of looking at the object of worship. I think the problem is Ukon. ...... The little girl with no breasts? I wonder when Camilla and Momiji became friends. They are talking secretly behind their fans. Galahad has a faint finger mark on his forehead, and I can''t help but look at it when he is talking. I try to find something to talk about and bring my attention to it. "Cal, didn''t Galahad say that his ancestors were drunkards?" "Boom!" When I broached the subject with Cal, Galahad erupted. "Oh?¡¡My bloodline, huh?" The drunkard looks at Galahad with doubtful half-lidded eyes. I see the resemblance. The way he touches anyone or any beast, and the way he takes care of himself despite his boldness. "No, you''re joking about the redhead. Galahad lightly denies it. "Galahad''s uncle told me that the blood of a red-haired demon from Fuso runs in the family. A woman who ran away from a prestigious family to become a dancer became a famous adventurer, and when she returned home, she had a child with the ogre." The ogre is one thing, but the background of the woman whom Kalu introduced in passing is quite impressive. "What?" "Oh, his blood!" Galahad shouts and the sake drinker, holding his cup in his hand, widens his eyes in surprise. "Hey, is it possible that Ibaraki wears a loincloth and bleached clothes as a dancer''s costume ......?" Peter, who was listening to the conversation, sounded unusually puzzled. A bikini and a loincloth!¡¡You''re trying to recreate that one in kimono, or something more accessible, to suit the tastes of sake drinkers!¡¡That''s a totally different direction!¡¡I was surprised too. Peter, I''m surprised you noticed. "Speaking of which, there''s something familiar about ....... No, if you grow your hair long, you''ll look just like him!" "Boom!¡¡What kind of woman is that? Galahad spurts out his drink again at the drinker''s words, while Eagle coughs next to him. Sorry, I can''t imagine that. I mean, the other day I thought of Shin''s old man dressed up as a woman. "I heard she was a big beautiful woman. ......" Cal looks unusually puzzled. "Except for strength, sake-drinkers only distinguish between big and small, female and male." Red Plum''s simple words convinced me. The people around Galahad and the sake-takers were still in a panic, as if they hadn''t heard our voices, but let''s leave them alone. Oh, the food is delicious. "Koryu, Karasutengu, and Shadow Crocodile have stepped down on their own. Are Shuten-doji, Shiramine-doji, and Ibaraki-doji up top? ...... "What? The crown prince, who had been drinking silently as if observing his surroundings, muttered to no one in particular, to which Ibaraki responded by hugging the drunkard''s neck. He is then rudely interrupted by the sake-drinker. Momijiro, Kojiro, and Fine are in the of the red plum blossoms. Shiramine, Ibaraki-doji, Kaja, and Kagewani and the others in of sake-drinking. It seems that the signed object automatically comes to the top, or rather, when I sign it, it is affected by my attributes and becomes stronger accordingly. It seems that I am giving up a section to something that is clearly stronger than me without fighting it. It seems to depend on my personality, but it seems that the younger the page is, the stronger the proof is. The first section is a special section of , in which the influence of the owner (me) is stronger than that of the other sections. "Will you not sign your name, Lord Kanna?" Red Plum holds a cup in his hand. From the expression on his face, he is probably stirring up a fight over the first clause of . Although Shuten''s book of Yama is more numerous, only Shuten and Shiramine have not only handbills but also signatures. Katsusha, it seems, is a gigantic demon the size of a 20-mat room. He is said to be a lion-headed demon with horns and hair like a wire. Now he is a pale, thin boy. ......,I wonder if his boyish appearance is a hobby of his. "No, I''m not signing anything. I''ll have a drinking contest to decide who''s the better man." "Ah?" The drinker stops sipping his cup and squints at the glass. And so the drinking contest begins. "Go for it, sake-drinker! Ibaraki cheered for the sake-drinker. The first cup prepared was a zakkyo cup, a cup with a hole in it. The sake leaks out if the cup is not held in place with the fingers, so the cup cannot be put down until the drink has been consumed. The cups came in three sizes: large, medium, and small. The player was asked to pour sake into the bowl whose eyes appeared when he turned the top of the cup, and then to drink it all. It is a kind of cup like the Tosa cup. The cup was rejected because it was considered too small. The cup used today is a large vermilion-lacquered sake cup that can hold a full measure of sake. It must be quite heavy, but the ogre''s arm strength is no match for the cup, and he tilts it with one hand. "You''re going to drink up all the sake in the palace, aren''t you? Ukon is impressed that he is indeed a demon. "It''s a waste of a good sake. "Shall I change it for some of the stronger liquor I have?" Hearing Peter''s lament, he makes a suggestion. "Yes, I don''t think we''ll be able to settle this when we run out of wine. Can you do me a favor?" I approach the table for the drinking contest at Ukon''s request. I smell so much alcohol! "I''ll have a strong drink here... Can I switch to this one?" I accidentally served the wrong one. "Oh!" "I don''t care if it''s strong, but it mustn''t taste bad. The wrong one seems to be drinking, too." The sake-drinker answers immediately and the crown prince looks a little suspicious. "This is a strong sake that has been made inadvertently, and it''s more than strong, it''s poison. In reply, he put the small bottle aside and poured the sake into two large sake cups. "By the way, this is the sake that Kojiro soaked me in. It is said that the stronger the demon, the stronger the sake. --The stronger the demon, the stronger the sake. I don''t like to drink soaked sake, but wine is made the old-fashioned way in wineries!¡¡My father soaks and mixes it, and I guess he doesn''t care if he''s a drinker or not. "Homura?¡¡Did you just have a disturbing thought?" Why does Peter read my mind? "Oh, Kojiro-dono''s..." "Your husband!" At least the demon doesn''t seem to mind. "I''ll check again. The one who drinks more is the top, and if you are dissatisfied, do a yearly drinking contest. Any objections? For some reason, Ukon is the referee. "Hey!" "That''s fine." The two men, one a drunkard and the other a crown prince, answer each other with a glare. "Then, let''s begin!" The large sake cup is tilted with Ukon''s shout. "Well, that''s good!" "Hm, not yet." Four or five cups of sake are piled up. In between, a new table is prepared for Shiramine, and decent sake is served to everyone. It seems that everyone is getting drunk except for Cal, Benibai, Ruba, and Ukon. Ukon drinks moderately because he is a referee, and Ruba seems to drink little by little all the time and does not drink recklessly. Cal and Beniume, if they get drunk, are only a little tipsy and do not get into disorder. I''d like to get into the hot springs before the logout time warning comes again, and I''d like to get out of here for a while, wouldn''t you? "It''s a hassle, and isn''t this what we should do?" Cal holds a bottle of poisoned wine in his hand with a smile of spring sunshine. "Both the drunkard and the crowned one are hardy demons, they will not mind a little poison." Red Plum gives us both an agitated look. There were two men here who could read my mind, and they were double the trouble. "No, this is..." "Oh!¡¡Give me that! I''ll take it. Before I could finish, the two parties concerned gave their approval, and each poured a glass of wine into the zakyo cup that had just been left unattended. "Hey!" "Well, well, well, demons die and come back to life." Peter says something refreshingly awful and stops me as I try to explain. Oh, Peter is about to sound the alarm. "Then, let''s begin!" Ukon again calls out and waves his fan down. The two drink it all in one gulp. "Gugg!" "Gosh ......!" And the two sink. Silence all around. "...... what kind of sake is that?" Ukon asks a question with his fan still swinging down. The fan is right on the border of the two prone heads, making it look as if Ukon has knocked them over with it. "Krulkan''s snake wine." "Krulkan?¡¡Was it the beast of the seal?" Peter asks. "It is the drink of the serpent of the end of the beast Tascha. I tried to be cool. Kulkarnikan looked at me from the cuff with a "ah-ha" look on his face. The snake wine has my name on it, but I only rescued it when I came across Peter''s A.L.I.C.E. pouring the wine into a bottle that Liddell had bottled. I must have borrowed Joss''s griddle from the stall, and the cooking skill must have appeared in A.L.I.C.E., just like when I cooked for the first time in the game. No, Peter has it, so it must already be on the list of available skills. Anyway, why is it that whenever I let Krulkan go free in the , he is always bottled up by Liddell? I originally didn''t lock the house for clan members, but come to think of it, only A.L.I.C.E. comes to the house. Cloak appraisal results [Don''t think you can get in anywhere but the store space, right? I have a feeling that the company is going to be in the same situation. Hand armor appraisal results [......mm] Come to think of it, the only way to get around is to transfer from the general store. --First of all, I cannot imagine that anyone other than Liddell and the set of A.L.I.C.E. could be invited into the residential part of the general store. In fact, it is open only to A.L.I.C.E.! 311 - - Open-air bath "....... Let''s sign the petition." Kaja grits his teeth reluctantly and squeezes out a few words. I''m getting all squishy, squishy, squishy. "Your men have taken the castle, and now you yourself have taken it... so be it! "You seem to be taking this as if I beat you, but it was an accident, okay?" I''m innocent, I''m the one who tried to stop it. You don''t want the name of the crown? Homura, you can have it. When he''s drunk, he either falls asleep or gets into trouble. He''s a pain in the ass. A drunkard wakes up and takes a drink to refresh his palate. You''re still drinking! Why do you say they''re good and I''m not! Are you drunk? Are you still white in the face? He grabs my sleeve and pushes me hard. "Okay, okay..." Giving up, he pulls out his book of Yama and opens it to the page with the handwriting of Katsusha. Gently, Benihai offers me an inkstone and a brush. Ukon tells me that I can write with my fingertips without the inkstone, but it is more formal to write with a brush, which I gratefully accept. "This is the second time I''ve witnessed Homura-dono receiving signatures from ogres, but as usual, they are more willing to write than I am. ......" Sakon is looking at me with a distant look, but I decide not to care. "Oops. I''ve reached my limit. With that, Peter goes into the closet. "Why the closet?" "I don''t have time to move around so seriously, so I''m going to ward it here." The closet seemed to have a cushion in it, and Peter quickly lays down on what was left of the cushion. Oh, I can''t believe the logout beep has already sounded. "Good night." "Good night." A fusuma sliding door of a closet being closed. Unfortunately, the color is pale. The form is also round and more blue ....... No, it''s nothing. "Well, I must take a bath and go to bed. "Oh, I''ve sent the lady back, so I don''t have directions, but if you go out there and to the left, you''ll find them." Ukon indicates the direction with a closed fan. I set out new snacks in the tatami room, which had been transformed into a banquet hall, and set up the sake barrels, then went to take a bath. The long corridor is a roofed but wallless sukiwatadono, but it is warded off from the outside wind and rain. To keep the atmosphere intact, only weak, dim lights placed regularly on the floor illuminate my feet. I walk to the bath, looking out over the snowy night garden. There is no lock on the changing room. What should I do if a courtesan or someone comes in? ....... Well, let''s use Peter''s method and put up a instead of a key, even if it''s weak, it will be a sign that "you''re in". When you enter the building, which looks like a detached house, you will see a tatami-mat room of about 6 tatami mats with a box for putting away your clothes, beyond which there are stone pavements and no walls. Rather than a roof over the bath, it looks more like an open-air bathhouse inside a building without walls and floor. A soft blanket is put out in a random box. "Black, I''m going to take off my clothes. I poke him in the stomach, and he slips out of the room and moves to the blanket. "Do you want to take a bath?" "No." I invited him to stay, but he refused. In the direction where the banquet hall is located, there are several large rocks that seem to reach the ceiling from the hot water, blocking the view. The only other rock is a pillar, and the hot water flows out directly into a stream, melting the snow in the garden. The paved stones are not rough, but they are not slippery even when wet. Pour some hot water over yourself and get into the bath. The water is a little warm, perhaps because it is recommended to take a long bath. The water is soft with no odor or turbidity, and there seems to be plenty of hot water as you can feel the flow of water in some places. Find your favorite spot and stretch out. Sometimes snow falls from the branches, blown by the wind. If it were wet snow, I would have been startled by a thud. The contrast of black and white in the snowy landscape looks strangely like bright pale blue and black as my eyes become accustomed to it. The black of the wet rocks, the black of the branches of the trees, and the snow on top of them. The sound of hot water flowing out and the flow of water on the body. ....... ............. That''s it... or I''m going to take it off. It''s a hot spring. ....... ...... Which is the standard in the fantasy world?¡¡No, I think it depends a lot on who you compare yourself with around you. Should I wash this?¡¡I took it off while it was still soaking. I''ve already poured hot water over the towel, and there''s a good flow of water, so I guess it''s OK. I drink soda water in the open-air bath while looking at the snowy scenery. Ah, at times like this, I wish I had the taste buds to appreciate sake. In the real world, soaking in hot water and drinking sake is just too dangerous. I''m enjoying a lot of freedom. I like it. <, but what should I do about the hot spring? Would Feng Shui work?¡¡I have to build a house in Kuzunoha before I can build a hot spring. < has been accumulated, and I got some hibiscus. We have plenty of EB oil and lacquer, so why don''t we paint the floor black and polish it like a mirror, and plant autumn leaves in the garden so that we can enjoy their reflection on the floor in the fall and their greenery in the summer? "Lord!" "Uh-oh!" I was just thinking about the fall foliage and out of the shadows of the rocks came the autumn leaves! "...... well handsome." Demons have night vision. I rush to wake myself up from my half-asleep position. "Let me pour you a drink." The edges of Momiji''s rouged lips turn up. She drops her red robe on the snow, exposing her white body, which glistens faintly, to the night. In the blink of an eye, she is completely naked. No, isn''t it hard to take off and put on the costume that Momiji was wearing?¡¡Why not? If you look down at the kimono at Momiji''s feet, you will see that the beautiful red color of the kimono, which always looks like it is in full bloom, has turned black in some places and is falling apart. I shouldn''t have worried about that!¡¡Unprotected!¡¡I''ve never been so defenseless!¡¡I rush to open the menu and try to undo it. Homura! "Lord!" "Kya-homra, homra!" Wait a minute, Galahad and Kal, but not Camilla! "Ukon, can you break the warding?" "This is tough. It''s going to take time." Not even Ukon!¡¡Eagle is heard talking to Ukon. Why won''t it open? "Homura-sama''s wards are strong, it would be better to go from the outside." Even the voices of sake-drinkers and red plum blossoms are heard. "Oh my God!¡¡It''s true that the outer wards are weaker because they are wider." Even Amane''s voice ......!¡¡Or, perhaps, almost all of them!¡¡All the women! "Well, I''ve left some sparks on the fire, so it will take some time for those who are bothering me. I look at the entrance of the building where I can hear the rustling of autumn leaves. I operate the screen in confusion, but since I have never used this function before, I open it in the wrong place, and only the window grows around me. I am not sure that this detachable function is easy to do, it requires not only a thought but also a procedure to operate. I don''t always operate from a window, so even for free I am lost where something is!¡¡You could have made it easier for me to put on and take off ......! "Hmmm ....... Ggh!" As Momiji tries to take a step forward, he is blocked by an invisible wall between the pillars. "Another wall here?¡¡Very tactless." Even here? Oh, my clothes were scorched because I had broken through the wards that prevented me from getting close to the open-air market. Anyway, some kind of small explosion sound is approaching. Woman!¡¡How dare you interrupt my Lord''s bath!" Cal, you''re fast! "Hey!¡¡You''ve already got that flame! "He deserves to die!" The head of the startled Momiji is quickly dropped. "You are indeed a man who has been allowed to live next to the Lord!" His white body remained standing without spurting blood, and his head, which had been cut off with such force, jumped up quickly before falling to the ground. If I had killed him for peeking into the bath, I would have been killed by Ukon and Amane on the first road to Fuso. ....... I guess Cal knew that demons don''t die easily and swung his sword at them. Finally found the pants removal screen and put them on. That''s a relief. It was supposed to be a snow viewing bath, but now it''s turning into a battle viewing bath. It was supposed to be a one-to-many, but the sake-drinker got too excited about the battle, and now it''s chaos. "It''s ruining the scenery, isn''t it?" Ukon, next to him, sips a glass of cold sake and mutters. "I''ll bring it back tomorrow. I mean, are you sure it''s okay to take a mixed bath? "I''m wearing a yugi. Besides, you''ve already seen me once." Ukon is indeed wearing a white robe, but it is thin and transparent, sticking to his skin. It is very annoying. The bath is protected by a strong ward that Ukon has placed over it, and Sakon and Amane are guarding the ward. For some reason, Beni Ume is facing them with a thin smile hidden by a scepter, while Camilla is negotiating with them to let her in. Kojiro throws his fist toward the ward. Sake-drinker is clashing his sword with Kal and Galahad is clashing his sword with Kannushi. Eagle stands watching the battle between the two groups, while Ibaraki, the loincloth girl, cheers for the sake-drinker. The four fighting men and Kohmei do not look at each other and only attack Momiji. Every time Kojiro hits the invisible wards, the wards warp and the scenery is distorted. "It''s too chaotic." "It''s mostly your fault." I just came to take a bath! "Wow. How did this happen when I was out of sight for a moment?" When Peter came back from his break, he looked at me with a stunned look. So I''m innocent!¡¡Don''t look at me! After all, we all went into the open air. All but a few of us were dressed in waterproof bathrobes. It was a surreal sight to see a group of people dressed in white entering the open-air bath. It''s funny, it was quiet when we entered. But still, how is it to be completely naked in the presence of a woman, drunkard? ¡î ¡î ¡î ¡î ¡î ¡î ¡î ¡î ¡î ¡î ¡î ¡î ¡î ¡î ¡î "Lord ......" "...... this is tricky." Cal and Benime slipped out of their assigned room to escort Homura while he slept, and when they looked up, they saw Homura already on the floor. To their right was a white mystiff about the size of a person, to their left was a black mystiff also about the size of a person, and a small black dragon hovered above Homura''s belly. Bahamut, a small figure, emits a tremendous amount of chi, and his pupils, which are split vertically, are pointed at the two men. When the black beast flinches, the white beast opens its eyes and looks at us without waking up. The night at the hot springs is drawing to a close. 312 - - The Doubt Again Good morning. This is Homura, who is going to request you to make it easier to put on and take off the pants. The banquet hall (?) The scene was quite terrible. All the demons except Shiramine are gone. By the way, I remember that the situation is mitigated somewhat by offering a bill, but with a negative compensation during the daytime. Only the demons on the first page, Benibei and Shuten, are free from the minus. However, Shiramine does not seem to be overstraining himself, and he seems to be normal. He must be a strong demon - probably. Ibaraki-doji is also Peter''s first page, but the loincloth girl is simply weak with alcohol. "The others seem to have gone back to their own castles, the morning sun seems to have been hard on them. They are not good in the presence of Homura-sama. ......" Red Plum who spoke coldly to the sake drinkers who were not here, but when I opened the sliding door to my room, I found him with Kal, but I wondered if he had warned me about Momiji or if he had fallen asleep in the hallway without reaching my room. "If you had a good time, that''s fine. That''s what this time was all about." I say so, but the room smells inexplicably of alcohol, so I gently remove the smell with my life magic. I also clean up the spills of sake and snacks. Why are the tatami mats so shaggy?¡¡--Oh, I should have the drunkard''s toenails clipped. In the meantime, I''ll put these back. Good morning. "Oh, it''s morning. Good morning." Luba seems to notice for the first time that the light is brighter behind the shoji, and his eyes narrow. "Good morning." The closet rattles open and Peter emerges. "Wait, did you sleep in there?" "I was drinking and had to go back to my room for a while." A fresh smile, but the situation is terrible. Ukon is gone, as expected, but Amane is lying on the floor holding a gourd and looking happy. He is drooling, but he looks happy. "Is dinner ready yet?" "Yes, yes. Are you sure you don''t need to sleep?" He prepares a table in front of Shiramine and decides to eat himself while he is at it. "Oh, me too. Peter suggested, and Cal and Benibe also asked for it, so we served it to Luba for six people. "This miso is delicious, where is it from? "I tried the Shinshu version." The steamed vegetables Peter was eating were dipped in miso with sakekasu and chopped nozawana. "Well, Shinshu is an unfamiliar place, but it''s delicious. This Karei (flatfish) is also very good. ......" Red Plum is eating a small flounder, deep-fried whole, topped with grated Japanese maple leaf and green onion, served with ponzu (Japanese sauce made from ponzu citrus juice and ponzu citrus juice). Was it in Fukui to decorate a hanging scroll of Lord Tenjin and eat grilled flatfish on January 25?¡¡It is not grilled flounder, but I wonder if it will make you smarter if you eat it with red plums. Since Beni Ume seems to like flounder too, I will make a kind of Umegae-mochi next time. "All of the Lord''s dishes are delicious. Cal then scoops up a spoonful of tofu and puts it in his mouth. Don''t do that until after you''ve finished your meal. The rest of the tofu is soft and flaccid with ginger, sesame seeds, green onions, seaweed, and other condiments of your choice. Only Kalu is served with molasses, as it seems to be his recent favorite, but I don''t think it is a side dish. ....... I wonder if Kal and Benibe enjoyed it, but I don''t know about them. I tried to serve their favorites for the time being. The Okutako (octopus) simmered in a large boat was cooked properly and tender. It was easy to bite through without any resistance, and the flavor soaked out. White taro''s stem with grated yam and kelp -- taro''s stem is made from the leaf stalk of taro, and if you don''t remove its acridity, you will have a terrible pain like a fine needle sticking into your throat, in addition to being sickly. Yeah, I really don''t know why they served me such a dangerous thing. ....... I was a bit distant from my real world memories, but it''s a fine tasting stuff when handled properly. The other dishes were seared pork with yuzu kosho, fried eggs with edamame, and kamaboko (fish cake). A club dropped in the labyrinth, rolled herring with konbu, white rice, miso soup with red miso broth, and five kinds of pickles. I made breakfast with small portions and a large number of dishes. Shiramine is eating in a good mood and Luba looks happy. I am glad that he likes it. "Well, I''m going to need some sake." Ruba ......?¡¡How much more are you going to drink? And then it''s time to say goodbye. "Ugh, my head hurts!" Galahad moaning, Eagle''s brow wrinkling, Camilla wobbling. Except for Luba, the drinking contest with the ogres seemed to have been an overwhelming victory for the ogres. Ruba, however, kept his own pace and did not touch Kojiro''s brand of . Ukon and Luba looked cool, but Sakon and Amane on either side of them had hard expressions. Sakon was drinking when he was strongly recommended to do so. "See you soon, Homura-sama." Red Plum disappears. "Thank you for what you did for the fire company. I will take full responsibility for Shiramine. He shakes Ukon''s hand and enters the camp partitioned off in front of the bronze mirror. I thought it was quite different from the one on the continent, but at the moment of activation, the shadows of light reflected from the mirror reflected the familiar pattern of the shifting camp on the floor where we were. The four of us were escorted back to the temple of Fast. We immediately moved to the general store. "What?" We''re missing one. Peter: Wow, there''s a lot of buzz in the temple. Homura: By the way, didn''t we release the transfer to the general store?¡¡--Kal and Galahad stand out. Peter: www. N!?C, but there are a lot of people living there, so it''s appropriate. Homura: Sorry, sorry. Good work! Peter: Thanks for the meal! "Uh. I''m going to bed." Same here. "Me too." The three of them pull themselves up to their rooms like half-zombies. "Shall I make you some tea, Lord?" Cal asks with a smile. "Please." I sit down on the sofa and stretch out, happy but tired. I come to the labyrinth to enjoy a little alone time. I like both the noise and the solitude. I''ve made it to the fifty-fourth level and am now taking on the challenge of collecting the treasure chest of the Minotaur. If you are too far away from the invincible Minotaur, it will attack you; if you are too close to it, it will attack you. "Bumoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo! I''m sorry, I''m sorry.¡¡Too far away! A huge battle-axe breaks the wall and appears. The treasure chest is not easy to retrieve, but instead we get <>, a material that Liddell and Kikuhime seem to be pleased with. The skills that Liddell recalled, and , were, contrary to his expectations, peaceful ones in that they made small stuffed animals move. It was, yes, in the past tense. Liddell''s taste is cute, but whether you think bisque dolls are cute or scary is up to you. Especially when they move. It would be better if they moved more smoothly, but it seems that they haven''t improved their skills yet, and the awkwardness of the movement is also ....... I don''t want to stop Liddell because she seems to be happy, but I''m thinking of building a lovely western-style house for Liddell as a place for her dolls when we build Kuzunoha''s house. I have secured two of them, though unsuccessfully. And then the battle against the Minotaur. "Stress relief!¡¡[Gold]!¡¡!!!!" Time to take out the stress of being chased by the cows and not being able to get the treasure chests as I wanted. And also, a series of "magic you can''t use in public" is held. The stage turns orange at dusk, and the magic that had no effect on the Minotaur is lifted. Here, too, there is a floating mass of earth that looks like a short cone turned upside down, so it is likely that an earthquake is coming, just like in the physics stage. An iron block falls from above and swallows the minotaur with a sharp needle inside. The scream of the beast echoes from the cold mass of iron with the door closed, and blood flows out from below. It''s in bad taste, but the damage at level 45 is pretty impressive. "Next, [wood] 35, <>!" A minotaur spits out from the Iron Maiden and is followed by a minotaur. From the back of the raised minotaur, who re-grips his axe, grows what looks like an enoki, a white, transparent, craft-like flower. And then another enoki-like growth - and more of them will grow, depending on the strength of the magician''s power, unless he burns them off or something. And while they are parasitic, H! and M! and returns them to the magician at the moment the flower falls off. Goblins and so on are dispelled by the parasite, but it works well on animal or bird types whose backs are hard to reach, or on types like this minotaur, which are indifferent to defense. This one is not as disgusting looking as I thought it would be, so I can use it in public, can''t I?¡¡No, but it''s a little creepy until it blooms. I check the effects of the magic I have not used before, or have forgotten, and insert binding magic in between so that the Minotaur does not move. "<>" For the first time, Iron Maiden came down from above, but it fell down beside the Minotaur and fell on its side on the ground. I was stunned. "Bumo?" For some reason, a zombie appeared from the ground, opened Iron Maiden''s chest, and threw the wondering minotaur back in. The rest is the same as before. Iron Maiden''s design and expression should have remained the same, but perhaps it is my imagination, but I think he is smiling. What is it?¡¡Is this just a game for the management? "Bumooooooooooooo £¡£¡£¡£¡" The Minotaur howls. The gimmick of this stage is simple. One, choose a stage where you can use your best attack methods. One, deal a reasonable amount of damage to the Minotaur before the Minotaur or your attacks destroy the floating clods. One, take shelter on the floating mass of earth when you put your axe on the ground and start to build up strength with your hands on the handle. You have obtained 3 minotaur horns. I got 5 minotaur skins. I have the magical stone of the Minotaur. I got 10 first stomachs of white cattle. I got 5 tongues of white beef. . I got x 4 x 1 obtained. The barbecue material again...... No,<> what the heck!¡¡Why can''t they get white beef?¡¡Alleged meat?¡¡Is it alleged meat again? 313 - - 311. Raising the Bottom "It looks like we''ll have a battle with Tamamo and ùw soon, so today we''re going to raise our level." It is the calm before the storm, or rather, the knights are getting ready to fight the empire in earnest after the binge before the storm. It seems that they have made progress with the cooperation of Sadiras. The majority of the minor powers that are in contact with the Empire have agreed to cooperate with the knights, and the rest have privately agreed not to actively participate in the war. They don''t want to get involved in a conflict between countries or powers, so they are preparing for it by increasing their combat capability. "...... is increasing." "It''s a fluffy double." Today, I summoned Kuzunoha, White, Black, and Liddell by utilizing [Dru''s Veins], which removes the limit on the number of pets to be summoned, and , which is a pet''s trinket. As Kuzunoha muttered when he saw Black, Black joined the game for the first time. The location is the 34th layer. "Master, Liddell runs slower than everyone else. I''ll do my best, but I''m sorry if I''m late. "No, no need to run-- let''s take it slow, one battle at a time. Let''s go slowly, one battle at a time, and we''ll move on after we''ve beaten them. Where is the need to run?¡¡But then I looked at White and Kuzunoha and reiterated. Yes, last time I ran at a pretty good pace, spreading my state-changing skills while luring the enemy. "......" "What is it?¡¡You''re going to miss a level if you don''t get into it. It is unusual for him to call for battle. White is concerned about Black, who for some reason does not make eye contact with anyone. "I know, I know!¡¡I remember the first time he called me out for brushing, not to mention the memories of the blacks we shared that were made to stay at home!" "......" This time White turned away from Black - who was apparently Aldvaan inside - as he shouted. Black is in raptures now that he realizes that I have discovered his admiration for Hasfahn and that he thought she was a queen (female). Myspheans by nature are free spirits, often living alone and individualistic. It is said that queens were created or appeared because they needed a leader to survive after their numbers decreased. When White, Aldvaan, and the others went on the rampage, the human side either recognized them as the king of the mystiffs on their own, or they went too far and said, "I am the king!¡¡It is possible that he said something like, "I''m sorry. Black was born after the number of the queens had decreased, and he has lived longer than the other Mysphets and has seen several generations of queens. I stroke Black, thinking that he must have a strong attachment to his queen. I am deeply moved when I recall her wire-like fur when I first met her. I brushed her whenever I had a chance, but her lower body was so guarded. "I''m glad to see that the hairballs on his buttocks are gone." Aim to be as fluffy as white. "You ......" "Nushi-sama ......" White and Kuzunoha are giving me a look of disappointment, but I don''t care. Liddell is silently swaying as he looks at me, and he bashfully grins when our eyes meet. We walk through a damp field covered with dark fallen leaves. The landmarks are masonry on the walls that have been eroded by tree roots and fallen trees, but the trees are large enough for the jungle to make it easy to move forward. "I''m going to ...... do my best." A kuzunoha shakes itself and its tail fluffs up. No, it got bigger. Where do humanoid tails grow from?¡¡I can''t imagine what it would be like to have one, or even three. "I''ll do my best." Liddell holds up a test tube between his fingers. "Use No.031<> on yourself." "Use No.032<> on yourself." "Use No.040<> on target self." When Liddell lets go of the test tube, it cracks easily and the contents pour out. "All right, let''s go!" "Hasfern ...... no, no." Seeing White''s eagerness, Black starts to say something, but stops. Yes, a belligerent Mistyph must be rare. This is more natural, though, since black and white are the closest to each other. And they use [inducement]. Two horses running away. So there''s no need to rush! I had to rush after him. "Throw No. 014 at a wide area." The round flask flies and breaks in the midst of the enemies gathered by Kuzunoha''s attraction. A black, smoky darkness enveloped the enemy and vanished. What is left are enemies who seem to have been deprived of their vision and are moving to the right and left. White scattering [confusion] while avoiding the acid raining down from the red rain goshawk. Black attacks physically. Black''s ability is said to take away a part of the target''s ability at the same time as attacking, and now it seems that he has taken away the arrow snake''s . And so begins the high-speed marathon. They are swarming around, but there are enemies who are charmed, some are looking the other way in [darkness], some are confused, and some are circling on the spot...it''s chaos again. "Wait a minute, you''re fighting in the wrong way! "I fully agree." I am surprised and agree with Black, who is yelling at me, as I beat the enemies who come close to me while they are in a state of anomalous condition. "Level up. This is not a fight with the enemy. ......" Kuzunoha, I''m not so sure about that perception either. "It''s about how efficiently you can attack as many demons as possible. You''ll be the only one left behind. The two men talk but do not slow down their attack. "Bonus time when the master is with you." And Liddell''s perception is terrible! "Don''t worry, he''ll beat them all no matter what you do." I''m not sure if he trusts me or if he''s desperate when he says that while fighting. "Today we''re going the bird route. It''s my first boss too, so be careful. You never know what kind of enemies will use what kind of skills when you go to the empire, so you want to see a few times what everyone does to an unknown enemy. At the end of the stairs was a bamboo thicket. Bamboos as big and thick as one''s arm were reaching for the sky. The bamboo leaves rustle and a shadow as huge as the bamboo appears. "Chicken ......?" Observing the boss as he appears, he invokes [Kuroyoh] to fortify his defense. The boss''s name, as seen by the [Appraisal], is Basan. His face and body are those of a chicken, but the size of his legs is strange. His legs, which are as thick as his thighs, are covered with scales and have sharp claws, reminding one of dinosaurs. The bright red crown that rises up from around the eyes looks like a burning fire. "kee-eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee £¡£¡£¡£¡" A single cry against the blue sky and a thudding sound as they came toward us. < into his mouth. Bitter!¡¡I swallowed it whole so that it would not touch my tongue, but the bitter and astringent taste came up from my stomach. I must quickly raise the level of [medicinal herbs] to improve this taste. The effect of < is to fill up the stomach and to improve the taste of E! (The effect of is to fill the stomach and slow down the depletion of E! It is not necessary for fighting, but it is indispensable for using the skills given by the unworthy gods. I have already raised the level of "Asha''s Iron Arm" and it is not enough. "[The Fire of the Heavenly Fox]" A white flame released by Kuzunoha. "Use No.044<> on the subject Basan." Liddell throws a test tube, which hits the boss and shatters. Two animals, one black and one white, run out and kick the sky, climbing up Basan''s body. Basan''s legs are stopped as the fire of the foxes burns up to engulf him. The two animals are larger than a large dog, and the one on my shoulder is the same size as the one on my shoulder. Smaller to avoid, bigger to attack. --I want to pretend. Black takes away his ability, and white adds an anomaly. After Basan wobbles, he gets angry, makes strange noises, shakes himself, and sends his wings flying. "I''d like to see a more graceful attack. ......" "It is wrong to be in front of the master. Melt?" The feathers started to burn and burn out before they reached Kuzunoha. The feathers melted before reaching Liddell, and some of them melted down where Liddell''s melted feathers used to be, and some of the Basan itself melted down. This is the one in which I don''t have a part. I got the title "He Who Sees Hidden Forms" for my first solo attack. I got the for my first solo defeat. on the 35th basement floor of the labyrinthine Souten route has been defeated solo. I got Basan''s Feather x4. We have obtained the Flesh of Basan x5. I got Basan''s claws x4. I got the magic stone of Basan. I got the citrine of Basan x 10. I got the . "Thank you, Master." That was a little tricky. I thought you were just a flightless bird, but you''ve disappeared. "Well, you''ve lost your trick." The owner''s face was saved. Basan began a second half of his attack, disappearing with a rustling sound, appearing behind someone, raining down feathers, blowing fire that was not hot but had an abnormal effect, and then disappearing again. Only Liddell could sense his presence and detect his presence. Liddell was able to detect the presence of Basan by scattering chemicals, and as a result all of us had an idea of where Basan was going to appear, but the combination of [Shunken Ground] and the throwing of foxfire and chemicals did not catch up with the attack. Well, once I attacked them by predicting where they would come out and where they would move, they all immediately started to imitate me and the situation became terrible again. They attacked me as soon as I came out, of course, and also left drugs and fire on the ground. During the game, it seemed that I was slightly wrong in my prediction, and black and white were exchanging punches with a bang on the head. ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ More... Title [He who sees the hidden form] ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ 314 - - 312. Wands and Physics The title "He Who Sees Hidden Forms", as the name implies, allows one to clearly see things that are hidden by mimicry or other means. However, it is not effective unless I can see them properly, so I may not need it if I am of the school that searches for signs with the mind''s eye and cuts them even if I can''t see them. , on the other hand, cuts off the appearance and presence of the person equipped with the cloak. It is only for when you are going to infiltrate somewhere carefully, because if you move, you are out. It''s a black, hooded cloak, and it makes me look like a suspicious person!¡¡I don''t know, it looks like that. Black and Kuzunoha will return at the same time that White returns. The black one just goes into the bosom of the white one. My summons and pets are stronger than I thought. I was worried about Liddell because he is a producer, but it seems to have been unnecessary. <. The labyrinth has changed from a damp and dense atmosphere to a forest just before the sunset. The forest smelled of earth, but not so much that it was freezing, and had a nice atmosphere with thick trees. However, the silhouettes of the large trees are dark and hide the enemies, rustling in the air and subtly hindering the [presence detection]. The trees are vague and hard to spot until you get close to them, like when you were at a lower level. He also uses both [Kokoro no kan] and [Ito], but since [Kokoro no kan] is affected by [Kiyoei], it is also more uncertain than usual. If I turn my eyes toward the direction of a sign, not only can I see it, but also the sign becomes clearer, thanks to the effect of ¡¾Seeing Hidden Forms¡¿. Even so, the "seeing" process delays our response. I remember when we first entered the labyrinth with Galahad and the others, we talked about sound and vibration. I didn''t take any of the skills to detect the whereabouts of enemies, such as [listening to sound], [vibration perception], and [psychic perception], even though they were listed in the list of skills to acquire. I should take at least one of them. It will also strengthen [Psychokinesis]. It seems that I have completely entered the bird route, and almost all of them are bird-like demons, from birds with four pairs of wings to flightless birds. Drops varied from materials for weapons to foodstuffs, and for feathers, I''ll ask Kikuhime to make me a futon again. Chicken wings simmered in sweet and spicy sauce, grilled to a crisp and salted with green onion. For the grilled skin, let''s use only the neck and make two kinds: one is crispy on the outside with sauce and the other is crispy on the inside, stretched out and grilled with salt. What about oyakodon (parent and child bowl)? The meat is outmatched by the egg, so it would be unbalanced. I''m going to shoot magic at the flying enemies, I''m going to improve my skills and Krulkan''s level. I want to make him strong enough not to be bottled up by Liddel. Right after I deal with a group of gray birds, a bird with a face on its chest fires a skill at me. I swat it away as if I have a sword in my hand. "Sorry!" While apologizing to Krulkan, I drop his feathers with a fast [Wind Magic] <> and finish him off with a [Ice Magic] <>. Kulrukan seems to be quite strong, though I had thought he was weak due to his image of being bitten by Bahamut and being limp. Thanks to the fact that it is chantless, magic is activated in an instant, but the speed at which it advances from activation to the target is determined for each magic, so it is difficult to use it properly, and if it is not used properly, the target can avoid it. Usually, a shield (or a mane) draws the enemy and holds him in place, so it can''t be helped. If you are a solo player, it is better to stop enemy''s movement with fast magic until it lands, and then hit with high power magic. I am tempted to use [Lightning] which has both speed and power, but I have failed with White Hydra, and I want to raise other spells as well. Clough showed me a druid''s 60 <>, a spell to summon the one-armed god. Thule or Thule was the main god before Odin in Norse mythology, but Fenrir bit off one of his arms and he has been replaced by a new generation. Still, he is identified with Mars, the god of war, and is the strong god from whom the word Tuesday is derived. Though it seems that he was originally a sky god, not a war god. Clough and I were excited to think that if we mastered druidic magic, we might be able to conjure up a that was not a one-armed druid. And I''m looking forward to other high level magic, especially complex magic such as ice, thunder, and time, and I''m seriously improving my skills. It''s a great way to enhance my fighting skills, of course, but it''s also a great way to see magic I haven''t seen yet. "Okay, it''s the boss of the 40th layer of the bird route. In front of the big stone door leading to the boss, Krulkan looks at me with a little bit of his wand back in his hand. --It''s getting a little cute. No, don''t be fooled, this is a snake that can take human form and has a bit of a calculation about it. I brace myself and put my hand on the door. The boss of the 40th level is at the same level as Fer Fasi. Six birds appear from all directions with a high-pitched metallic "squeak" sound. The stage is a lakeside forest. The birds, the same color as the blue of the lake, have metal wings, and their appearance and movements resemble those of fighter planes in an airplane show. The bird invokes Kuroyoh to fortify its defense and casts [Time Magic] < for evasion. With a bad feeling about the feathers reflecting the surrounding greenery like a polished mirror, I unleash a level 10 of my [Lightning Magic]. My bad premonition is proved true, and the lightning that hits the bird is bounced off its feathers and disappears into the air. It is lucky that the lightning does not reflect off the bird. I dodge the blue bird''s attack, thinking that the advantage of the bird''s route is the physical distance and the bow, which can do the most damage. The wings are made of thin blade-like feathers, which are not good to hit by any stretch of the imagination. The six birds work in perfect coordination to block the escape route. It was difficult to recognize the enemy on the way, but it is the same here, too, as the birds blend in with the green of the forest and the blue of the lake. I thought they were just a front because there were so many of them, but they were a formidable and troublesome foe. We are slow to find them and they are fast. It seems that not only lightning but also a wide range of magic is ineffective, and in fact, they even use the magic effects to blind us and jump into our path. I get the impression that it is not so much magic resistance, but rather its speed that makes it break through and overtake the enemy. It is only a single magic that works. Well, when push comes to shove, I''ll fight with a sword. Most of the high-level magic that we can learn now is ranged, so we are limited in what we can use. Lower level magic is naturally less powerful, but it''s better than no magic at all. Result. I give up and stay where I am. I close my eyes and concentrate on my mind''s eye. When he recognizes a bird flying toward him, he doesn''t even look at it, and he thrusts his <>, which is off the range magic. It strikes at almost zero distance, correctly burying its tip in the center of its prey. At first the angle is off, and the tip flies off in the same direction as the bird, but I''ve gotten used to it. When the bird makes a metallic sound and loses its position, I swing down a thunderbolt-like but very physical hammer called <> of level 40 [Druidic Magic]. It is hard to tell if the bird''s metallic sound is a squeal or the sound of its metal body creaking as it is. I''m a wizard, but I''m in a very physical close proximity position. Come to think of it, I am a melee fighter who can also use magic. Is this the right way to fight?¡¡No, I don''t use a sword. I don''t have a choice not to use a staff since I''m trying to level up Krulkan. Kulkarukan, can''t you also use a blow weapon? I got the title "The Star of the End" for my first solo victory. I got the as a reward for my first solo defeat. has been defeated solo on the 40th basement floor of the labyrinthine Southen Route. We have obtained 5 arrow feathers of the Blue Bird of Stympharides. I got 5 blue bird feathers from Stemperides. I got the beak of the blue bird of Stymphallides. I got the magic stone of the blue bird of Stymphallides. I got the white opal x10. I got the ring of magic +4. I got the . Stemperides is something that Hercules defeated. I think it''s more famous as the Hydra or the Golden Apple. ....... The title [Star of the End] causes stars to fall and inflict heavy damage when you lose the battle, double the damage if you have a [meteor] type skill. Double the damage if you have a [meteor] type skill. ....... I think it was pretty bad. Final Attack Meteor?¡¡I wonder if they hooked it up with Hercules being in the constellation after his death? But I have a feeling that I won''t be able to get the item as a reward for clearing the game, since it is based on the assumption that the player can''t fight. <, the party can revive him... but I guess they can''t get the item after defeating him. It''s not very useful, and unlike skills, titles activate automatically. Well, magic and Krulkan''s level is up, and the sword skill gauge is maxed out, so we''re almost ready for the battle against the empire. The only thing left to do is to improve the <. <. If I eat it... I recover (become full), and I can eat E! I''ve been taking care of it for a long time because of the slow decrease of E! I''m going to take a break and eat something delicious. I move from the boss''s room to the transition room and resting area where no demons come, and take out a sweetfish I got at Fuso. Normally, ayu fish is blackish, but this one is fat and has yellowish spots.¡¡I heard that small ayu also eat insects, but ayu that eats only algae can eat cotton threads with peace of mind. I hear that if you grill ayu while it''s still alive, its bones become soft, but you can''t store the creature, so you have to eat it on the spot. Grill it with the head down so that excess water can drain out. If you don''t cut into the fish, I think it is better to grill the whole fish at an angle with the mouth down so that the excess water can drain out, and to turn the skewer several times so that the fat can be absorbed into the meat. The plan for the rest of the day is to wait for word from Kal and the others, meet up with the knights, have a meeting, and then go in for battle. I was supposed to play the role of suppressing either Tamamo or Zuwa, but since it was almost certain that Zuwa was the prince, it seemed that Tamamo''s whereabouts could not be determined, and although other preparations had been made, we were at a standstill. Now that Tamamo''s location is almost certain, they are working out the details. They have identified Peter, Roy and the others, and the rabbit girls. It looks like it''s going to be a raid war, but I''m currently dawdling on the outside of the mosquito net. Peter, too, is having trouble dealing with the powers that be, so he''s going to stay in the shadows. A savory smell wafts through the air, and the fat drips from the sweetfish. Ayu fish grilled with salt is ready. ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ...more... Title The Last Star ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ 315 - - 313. Looking Cool, Running Around "Adventurers, please register here." In the garden of the royal castle, a set of Isle civil servants and knights are recruiting soldiers for the imperial expedition. Normally, the royal family is probably waving their hands on the terrace and the people are crowding the place, but now, gentile adventurers are strolling around. Though I don''t think of them as "strolling," but more like wandering around looking for friends. Roy and his friends and the rabbit girls are in the halls of the castle, having cooperated with us up to now in the start of the war with the empire. The others who have been working on the imperial events and the well-known resident knights are relaxing in the hall where refreshments have been prepared, a bit different from the outside. The white marble floor is slippery when wet, and the chandelier, lit by a magic light, reflects the light diffusely, though it is hard to tell if it is glass or crystal. The white cloth-covered tables are lined with silver plates and trays with food on them, and the walls are draped with tapestries and heavy crimson curtains that look like windows. Chairs lined up against the walls and around the pillars for rest. Players flock to the maids who serve them. A player tries to serve in a mini-skirted maid''s outfit. I am seated at a table in the back of the hall for some reason. I wanted to avoid the rabbit girl, so I followed Cal''s lead, and this is the result. I''ve seen this guy sitting across from me in a big battle, isn''t he the crown prince of this place who passed under my legs?¡¡Is it my imagination? Why am I being thrown in here? Cal is sitting next to me with a cool face and Galahad is next to me. Eagle and Camilla are standing behind me for some reason. Cal is here because he is the one who is organizing the former knights of the empire, and I understand that. But Gawain, the knight of the rabbit girl, is also sitting, but next to him is a priest and the rabbit girl seems to be grazing in the hall. If you look closely, you can see the knight that Elias and Roy and the others have with them is also sitting there. Did I ever hear this knight''s name?¡¡I don''t remember. Peter: Awww, that''s funny. Homura: What am I doing here? Peter: Stop saying that with a straight face. Homura: How can you tell when you''re wearing a mask? Peter: I get the feeling that you have the same look on your face that Leo has on his face when he''s expressionless about what he''s doing. Peter, keeping just barely within earshot of the conversation at the table, is shaking his shoulders against the wall. He looks at me, looks away, and shakes his head against the wall. Let''s get this thing lifted! "Am I allowed to be here?" "Of course, the Lord has released all the gates of the isle. The Lord has released all the gates of the isle. I quietly asked Cal about it, and he smiled and answered. Is it because I released all the gates that my trust level is maxed out or something?¡¡I am still not quite convinced, but I am trying to keep a low profile. Masks come in handy in times like these. The small countries, which had been unable to unite due to the existence of the nine-tailed < that did not appear in the appraisal and Merlin''s dark activities using people, have mostly joined the side of Isle, although there are differences in attitude, such as joining Isle''s side without fear of being seen by the Empire, or making a secret pledge as if they are worried about being attacked after all. After Sadiras joined the Isle, it was very early. Although he is now less powerful than the Empire and the Isle, Sadiras is older and more like a respected ally of a small country. In his current state, he can march to the edge of the empire, to the hunting grounds of Parchin, without any obstacles. "The route of the march will be along the road where the fallow lands and wheat have been harvested, and we can only hope that Paltin will not appear. Winter wheat is sown in the fall and harvested in early summer after the winter. If you are also talking about fallow land, are you using the three-field farming method?¡¡I wonder if they don''t rotate rice, soybeans, and wheat. It seems that rice is not grown in this country, so I guess not. Strategic discussions are held in a semi-private room overlooking a hall with velvety curtains bundled on either side, one step up. It seems like a confirmation of the general plan that has already been decided. It is said that most battles are fought in the off-season when the fields are not disturbed and before the snow falls, but this time it seems that the decision has been made because a route has been secured that will not disturb the fields, and the food can be carried by the gentiles so that it will not be damaged even in the heat of the day. The hunting grounds of the Parthians in between are unobstructed and dry, and it is possible to proceed with a large force to the empire once they have passed through the smaller countries. "I will take the Paltin..." "Oh, you''ll stop me!¡¡Thank you." He thanked me before saying that he would take some food and give me a break from hunting. He seemed to be very emotional, but I wondered if he was okay with being so excited before the war. Once he opened his mouth, he started to talk to me, but Cal was taking care of it, whether he knew I was bothered or not, so I left the rest to him and sat in silence. Homura: Quiet. Ochazuke: The people on the dais are quietly decorated. Kikuhime: People in the hall are shutterbugs, aren''t they? Shin: Service, service. Let''s take off your jacket for a minute. Homura: Take off your clothes Ochazuke: I wonder how much they sell for a piece. Peter: It''s rare for Mr. Lengard to be in public for such a long time. Leo: Wahahahaha! Chrysanthemum Princess: The garden is also full of free knights who are not friends of the players. Shin: Now would be a good time to get a patka! Leo: You''re picking on me! Ochazuke: A strong N!?C is a great way to solo! Peter: In Leo''s case, why not let him produce?¡¡You must have some rare materials running wild here and there, right? Chrysanthemum Princess: I''m going to go finish off Atechi, too. Peter: www. In fact, they are talking nonsense in clan conversation, but they sit in silence. In the hall are Peter and Ochazuke from the clan. The only other familiar faces are Roy and Elias. The people in this room seem to be those who are related to the empire or those who have completed the events in Isle to raise their country''s credit rating and liberate the [transfer gate] of other cities in Isle. The "Rikka" and the others are not here because they are not so enthusiastic about the events and are focusing on the labyrinthine strategy. They are planning to participate in the battle, though. They are asking for the course of march of the inhabitants, supply points, and requests for supplies. Homura: Do you want me to organize a raid with the people in this hall? Ochazuke: Large knight pick-up site Peter: The reward for a serious event is a knight. Shin: What is the difference between a large-scale battle and a large-scale battle?¡¡Tell me, erotic person. Ochazuke: I think it''s basically the same.¡¡There is an event once a year in a different mackerel, but this is just a one-time event. Homura: And that there is a boss? Chrysanthemum Princess: You mean Homura? Homura: Why not! Leo: Wahahaha! Peter: Too many bosses problem. The emperor is a sure thing, isn''t he? Peter is giving hints as long as they don''t lead to a decrease in rewards. The most obvious bosses this time are the emperor, who is the target of the whole army, the sealed beast that has been talked about among the knights, and the leaning nine tails--although this is not the Kuzunoha that Ruscha had sealed, so it''s not so subtle. Merlin, who is often mentioned by the residents in this hall, though he does not speak clearly as if he is afraid of what is next. And then there is the beast that Asha has sealed up, "Nue, the Thunder Beast". I wonder how many people here know of the existence of Nue?¡¡The upper echelons of the country and the temples know about it, as they have told Kal and Galahad and others. It seems that they originally had some information, though not clearly, and there are things in there that I do not know. In fact, if you listen carefully to what is said here, there are hints here and there. I''ve been listening to a lot of what I''ve been hearing, but it seems that the army against the emperor will be commanded by the crown prince of Cal and the Isle. Gawain as aide-de-camp and a knight of the Isle I don''t know. Why are you becoming more and more a central figure, Cal? Oh, those former imperial knights sitting there are the ones who joined us among the named knights of the Round Table. Some of the imperial knights here, called , are named after knights of the Round Table. Lancelot of Cal and Galahad. Gawain, who also has the name of Green Knight, is one of the most famous knights of the Round Table. By process of elimination, the knights who are not here are on the side of the empire. ....... Homura: Sir!¡¡I noticed that one of the knights sitting here is an imperial knight named after a knight of the round table, but I don''t remember the knight of the round table!¡¡I could deduct the difference and know the enemy''s strength! Peter: www. Ochazuke: I''m starting to sound like a maniac again. Kikuhime: I only know Percival who was attached to Akira-kun. Leo: You just mentioned the main people of note on the imperial side. Shin: Nn, nn, nn. Ochazuke: You also said that in the hall (here). Homura: I wasn''t listening £¡£¡£¡£¡ I was taking it seriously, and I found it!¡¡I was in the mood for something like that and now I''m embarrassed! Kikuhime: I feel sorry for the gallery, which is probably looking at Homura with a sparkling face. Shin: As long as you don''t show what''s inside, you''ll be fine! Ochazuke: You should only look longingly from afar! Peter: I think so when I see the Flame King. It was a rally that ended with a spinning of rave thoughts. 316 - - Out of the hustle and bustle "Yes, all right. I have to go hunting for a while, don''t I?" Yes, please. I''m visiting Paltin with a souvenir. A large steamed bun, the meat is cut into small pieces larger than minced meat and filled with bamboo shoots, dried shiitake mushrooms, onions, and a few scallops. The difference between "nikuman" and "buta-man" is that in Kansai, where most beef is produced, the word "meat" means beef, so to avoid misunderstandings, the word "buta-man" is used for simplicity. It would be different if it became a product name. "During this period, if you ask Liddell or Reno who are in the <>, you will be served a meal. He looked at Reno and nodded seriously while holding a bun in his hand. The warehouse is filled with meat and other dishes. I should probably add some ...... sweet stuff too. "Mmm. The red ones and the green ones have been bothering me lately, so I''ll let them stay." Pertin is holding a steamed meat bun in both hands. It''s bad manners, but I''m glad it looks so delicious. I''ll have one myself, soft and juicy. The juices are overflowing, but the dough is not sticky and the bun is nice and hot. The texture of the bamboo shoots is a nice accent to the large size of this dish. "The spirits are so strong on the island of Homura that my staying a little longer won''t have any effect on them. "Is that so?" Paltin called the spirits of the wind for us in the sky, come to think of it. "Mm." "First the wind spirits, then the water spirits brought by Soong the sea dragon, they never leave that island and they are increasing. Even though it is the wish of Master Pertin and Soong the Sea Dragon, this is not normal. Leno''s white smooth face is covered with bean paste. "By the way, there was a spirit in the < that Val and Fal gave me as a housewarming gift ......." They must still be there, maybe. "From the gods ....... "The gods have commanded you to protect the island?" "If there is a mighty spirit, the little spirit shouldn''t leave it ......." He stops eating and mumbles as they look at him. "I didn''t sign up for this." Since we didn''t sign a contract, we can''t be commanded to protect it. "Why? A double shout. "No, I just thought you might like the freedom." Hey, maybe if you don''t sign a contract, you''d rather not leave the ? I''ve felt their presence, but I''ve never seen them. I''ve left half of the production to Liddell and Kuzunoha, but I''ve been going to the island quite often to change the demons, so I''ve been keeping an eye on the <>. The other day, I planted trees and vegetables that I got in Fuso. I forget the existence of summons during the battle because I go to attack by myself, and I didn''t feel the need to make a contract with them. <, but it was not because I liked the but as a result of taking away my freedom. < I should also go and say hello to the spirit who has taken over the white role for me. I am in such a hurry when I go to the temple that I try to move quickly without stopping at the courtyard. Partly because the rabbit girl is hanging around if I''m not careful, not to mention Ekaterina, but more because I feel a little guilty and can''t make up my mind to visit the temple. I was bound to a spirit instead of a white one, and a freedom-loving wind spirit at that. Back then I was fine with it because I was crazy about fluffy things and didn''t know much about the tendencies of spirits, but the longer I''ve been in this world, the more guilty I feel. ....... So here I am in the courtyard of Fast''s temple with a souvenir. The souvenir was a flower, for the wind spirits often like to see branches and flowers swaying. On the way to the temple, I meet Ekaterina for the first time in a long time and offer her a dish. By the way, when I came to the courtyard, I didn''t see anything in particular. "Spirit of the wind, Mr. Winn, are you home?" I knock on the big tree in the courtyard. One knock is reserved for people of low status, two knocks are for urgent mail or business, three knocks are for family members or close friends, four knocks are for aristocrats or upper class people who want you to open the door quickly, and four knocks are repeated twice for royalty or millionaires. I don''t know about the current business manner of knocking. > When I thought I heard a voice, I felt myself entering the event space. At the same time, a spirit of the wind appeared as if oozing from the trunk of a tree. The spirit took the form of a boy who looked like a piece of silver glass. "It''s been a long time. I don''t know if you remember me, but I''m the one who caused you to take this role. > "Yes. You remember me well." > Winn tilts his head, a little strange the way he moves so softly. "Since I''ve been forced to play the white role, I thought I''d see how you''re doing." He smiles in an echoed voice, saying that he is now a better genie. I talk with Winn for a while and then go outside. He tells me that the giant tree in the temple is about to give birth to a spirit, which will take over the role after Winn. It is a good thing that the tree spirits do not like to move, and I am relieved that Winn''s period of captivity is not as uncertain as that of White. Feeling a little lighter, he strolls through the city. I''d hoped to relax a bit, but the surroundings are a bit unsettling. The production workers seem to be busy at their consignment terminals, producing consumables for the war against the empire, while the combatants are running around trying to secure materials whose prices have gone up due to the increased demand. Even if they sell at a high price now, they will probably have to buy at a higher price when the fighting starts. Residents are also busy buying food for preservation and other things that can be kept for a long time. I don''t think the war will reach Fast, but it seems to be dragged down by the restless atmosphere of the gentiles who are participating in the battle and the knights who have drifted to Fast. I''ve come to a used bookstore because I feel so restless. "Hello." "--Newly arrived on that shelf." The owner, as brusque as ever, looks up from his books and points to a shelf with his gaze. "Oh, thank you." He takes a step ladder/chair to pick up the high wooden books and settles down in front of the shelves. I pick up a book with a title that interests me with one of the little << light> floating on it and start to read. The owner, Cadiz, seems to have known my taste and has collected mainly old stories and fairy tales. I want to know about the time when Verna, the goddess of darkness, was still visible to people, about the sealed beast, and about the mysterious voice when I logged out of bed in the <>, and about the evil god. Asha''s Sealed Beast, Nue the Thunder Beast. Val''s Sealed Beast: The White Beast Hasfarn Dru''s Beast: The Mad Puppet Hamel Ruscha''s Beast: The Nine-Tailed Kuzunoha Phalu''s Beast: The Poison Bird Sirene Tasha''s Beast: The Serpent of the End, Krulkan The Beast of Verus, once the Dragon King Bahamut Verna''s Beast: Alice, the Eternal Girl I have already encountered Hasfarn, Kuznoha, Krulkan, Bahamut and Alice. The ones whose whereabouts are almost certain are Nue in the empire, Sirene who is said to live in a giant tree in the elven forest, and Tamamo, the body of the nine-tailed beast. If Sirene is with the elves, Hermel must be with the dwarves or with the demons, but we have no clue. The number of books related to the legend of the moon and Verus, the god of light, is abundant and growing again, as if Cadiz is also interested in them. The ruins that we stopped by on our way to Fuso one day seem to be related to Verna. Hmm, this one is related to guardian beasts. I''m afraid I won''t be able to finish my research if I start this one, so I''ll have to put it off for later. What? I noticed that Kulurkan was making some kind of appeal with his face. "Oh, you want to read it. Cadiz, I''m sorry, but do you mind if I read this book to you? He turns to the counter where Cadiz is and asks permission, showing Kulkan the cuff. Kulkan, too, bows his head when his eyes meet Cadiz''s. "How do you read?" After a short pause, Cadiz''s mouth dropped open and the question leaked out, a perfectly reasonable one. Then it was time for Krulkan, now in human form, and me to read. Normally Cadiz would not take her eyes off the book at the counter, but she seemed to be having a hard time concentrating on Kulkan and kept glancing at him. Kulkan is not bothered by the glances and is absorbed in his book. There are not a few books at Kuzunoha and Liddell''s place, but they will be bottled up when I get there. ....... When the empire thing is done, we will build a house for Kuznoha in . If we''re going to separate the three of them, maybe we should build Liddell a lovely house like in a fairy tale, too? "Cadiz, would you like some tea?" It seems strange that I, the customer and not the owner, should be the one to invite them, but since I am the one who prepares the sweets and tea every time, it can''t be helped. Crispy cake made of chestnut flour instead of flour, with pine nuts. Bite-sized meringues of different flavors. Cadiz seems to like crispy cakes and chunky ones like apple pie, not so good with cream ones. She usually drinks tea, but this time she opted for coffee since the meringue is a bit sweet. "Lord, if it''s coffee, I''ll have it." Krulkan never touches tea, but coffee seems to be safe for him. I wonder what Cal''s criteria are for "safe" and "out. "Oh." The smell of sweetness and old books overshadowed by the aroma of the coffee Krulkan brewed. He is dressed in a black suit with white gloves and a slightly long hem of his jacket. With his well-shaped white face and straight, well-proportioned figure, he is a butler in every way. Ur-Lolo was a maid, and what is it about these siblings?¡¡I almost wondered what would happen to my sister, but then I stopped because I knew she would come barging in on me. "So?¡¡What''s with the guy?" After eating a meringue and sipping a cup of coffee, Cadiz asked. "You must be Kulurkan, my snake. "Krulkan ......?" Cadiz makes a subtle face, as if she is fighting something she doesn''t want to admit, as if she is very unconvinced. "My name is Krulkan, the serpent of the end, sealed in Tasya. Thank you for allowing me to take this book from your collection. Krulkan puts his hand on his chest and makes a graceful bow. "......" Cadiz froze. 317 - - Lending "The Beast of Seals ......?" Cadiz mumbles with a face that makes it hard to tell where he is looking. The person who said his name finished making coffee and quickly went to stick to the bookshelf. He looks extremely happy. "I guess you could say that." I pick one of the berry meringues and put it in my mouth. The berry meringue is crunchy and light, sweet and sour and melts in your mouth. I wonder if I can make a shell shape or a rose shape if I have the right kind of caps and practice squeezing them out.¡¡It''s easy to make colors, and Liddell will love it. One or two is fine, but three is too sweet for me. I drink my coffee and start on the cakes. The chestnut flour cake is called castagnaccio, but it is a local delicacy, or perhaps it is the taste of each family, or it may have the same name, but it is completely different. The one I made was crispy, just the way Cadiz likes it. Kadis looks at Kulurkan, her mouth moving in small movements. Perhaps his mouth is moving without words, just following his thoughts. It seems that he is testing and revising his hypothesis about the sealed beast. "No, but ....... Why are you telling people ......?¡¡It''s impossible, but it''s ...... possible that you''re mistaken. ......?¡¡Is it a hallucination or a dragon? ...... No, it can''t be a dragon. ......" Sometimes a voice leaks out, but there is no response to our questioning. I wanted to ask him what he thought of the food, but I guess that won''t be possible for a while. --Cadiz has been in the same state for a long time and has not returned, so we leave him alone. Kulkarnikan was also absorbed in his book, so I asked him to return to the house at a suitable place, but he answered me blankly. As I was about to leave the store and close the door, Kulurkan, in the form of a snake, came after me with a yap and climbed into my sleeve. Didn''t you just greet the humanoid with a calm and composed greeting?¡¡Why are you so desperate?¡¡For what it''s worth, I can shop alone and go home, right?¡¡I don''t think there are many things in this world that scare the sealed beasts, so what are they afraid of? Well, let''s go back to the general store. I''ve stopped the game when I''m almost up to the next level, so I don''t want to do too much fighting until the imperial boss battle. Since the level of the bosses heals itself when the level is raised, it would be ideal if I could raise the level after defeating one of them, if it is a series of battles between Kutio and Zyunyu. There are recovery pills, but H! but not M!? I can''t recover all of them with the medicines I make. Well, there is a portion that is recovered by natural recovery and by attacks, so the amount of M! is not likely to run out. I will take every possible precaution. I''ll make money by producing enough to sell off, and since it''s before the event, I''ll increase the sales volume a little. I take a look at the stalls. Noel has been collecting knickknacks lately, small metal boxes that fit in the palm of your hand. Wooden jewelry boxes are common, but small metal boxes are rare. I suppose that the stores frequented by aristocrats and customers with a certain amount of money might have them, but Noel is particular about what he can get at the street market. Unfortunately, today we are empty. The general store is not far from the stall. I have a key, but I don''t have a chance to use it. The general store is already closed and there will be no customers, so I should open the front door today. I put on a mask and change my equipment at a deserted place and go to the street of the general store. I don''t want people to think I''m a person who doesn''t change clothes because I only have this gear. Should I change my clothes sometimes, even if I wear a mask?¡¡I ask Kikuhime for street clothes--no, I don''t want her to put frills on me without mercy. While I was thinking this, I saw a crowd of people in front of the general store. Or, to be more precise, there are some people who are shouting at the front door and looking at me from a little distance. "Please!¡¡Please let me see him!" And the person who is being gawked at is Akira-kun, why? Is it possible that today is the day when I should have pinpointed [transition] and left?¡¡If the residents are making a fuss, but not the gentiles (players), it''s not like an event happened, right? "Oh?¡¡Lenguard!" "Master White Wren!" "Event?¡¡What''s the trigger?" "Yeah, yeah, yeah!¡¡I''m jealous!!!!" "Here comes the owner, owner!" And while I was thinking this, an onlooker noticed me! "What''s that noise?" I had no choice but to talk to him. "Lengard ...... No, Mr. Lengard!" Why did you call me that? Akira looked up at me with teary eyes. It''s beautiful when you know that the tears are the result of your effort, or when you know that the tears are the result of your effort. But tears while ranting and raving are only smiling until kindergarten. "Please, please, sell me some Huihua Fruits!" Akira-kun bows down to me as if he is about to get down on his knees. Ah. Percival or Camilla''s sister has at this time. It''s hard to believe that the invasion of the empire is so close...why did you come to me? "Homura (Lengard), why did you come here only today? Please come in." Perhaps noticing my presence by the presence outside, Reno opened the door from inside and urged me to come in. Cal and the others were off store today for a meeting about the invasion of the empire, and they had not returned yet. "-If you''re my friend, go get it yourself." He walks past Akira and heads for the front door. Would it be a spoiler if I told you where this is?¡¡Also, how did they know I had it?¡¡It''s a mystery. "I don''t have time for this, I''ve been there once and failed!¡¡With me and Percival, it''s my fault and I''m sure I''ll screw it up again!¡¡If you do that, you''ll end up in Percival ......." You know where it is, and it''s Camilla''s sister who has fallen. It is true that with Akira''s fighting style, it would be difficult to conquer the castle without a shield, a person who can defeat a large number of enemies on the way, and a person who can heal. From the looks of it, Percival was in a lot of danger at the volcano, wasn''t he?¡¡But he seemed so confident that he knew he couldn''t go on by himself. Akira-kun seemed to be a complete N.C. person, but I have a different impression of him now. I don''t care about anything else, so please stop trying to get at me like you''re trying to get at me. Leno swatted me away before I could get a hold of him. No, I don''t want you to use the hilt of your spear to swipe him away like a villain. "No, absolutely not!¡¡I can''t lose Percival or Aimi!¡¡Please, I''ll do anything!¡¡< at ......." If you cry soaking wet ....... "Why do you think I have the ?" I ask, puzzled. "Because you''re a wise man, ......!" I don''t understand. "He said he could help you if you came to the general store. ......!" It''s true that it''s a general store because it carries a variety of things, but just because it''s a general store doesn''t usually mean that it has <, does it?¡¡Well, I have one. Percival and Eimi are on the imperial side this time, but they are Camilla''s younger sisters. Let''s ask Galahad about the sisterhood between Camilla and Amino. I have a feeling that I won''t get an honest answer if I ask Camilla herself. Homura Sent: Sorry to interrupt, but what is the relationship between Camilla and her sister?¡¡I''m on the enemy''s side this time. Galahad Sent: If you see him, please take him alive as much as possible. No, I heard about the sisterhood: ....... Can''t you type long enough for a meeting?¡¡I''m sorry to have disturbed you. But I know you don''t want to kill me. "What''s the price of the fruit?" All right, but giving it away for free is not so easy. < All of us took the dull fruit. Galahad''s portion was used for Camilla, but Eagle and I, as well as Camilla who went for them later, also chose dull-colored ones. Cal is strong in water, so he will not get the <, and we have one left over in case he does get it. Besides, it seems that Galahad and his men sometimes take the knights who have joined our side to Mount Kahakayama. "All the equipment and items I have are at ......!¡¡Hey, can''t we trade?" Stop taking off all of a sudden!¡¡That''s too extreme, Akira! I have it set up so that I can only exchange (trade) items with friends with whom I have exchanged patocas. My loyalty! "I don''t want it." I answered immediately. Akira was frozen on one knee, tapping his chest. "Give that to your friends." Follow, follow. I say I pushed him because he looked hot and bothered. "I''ll lend you the fruit of the fireflower, come and return it." I felt like I wanted something in return, but after thinking about it, there was nothing in particular I wanted from Akira-kun. I want a man of the future and a Hermel, but I don''t intend to be so reckless as to ask him for them. I want to get them, but I''m not going to be that reckless.¡¡I''ll be sure to return it to you strong!" <, he took it in his arms and began to cry. I really don''t know what happened. My impression of Akira was that he loved one-hit kills and would use N.C. as much as he could without regard to his feelings--or perhaps he wasn''t too attached to characters or people. I wonder if it is just a simple story that you realized the importance of Ami and Percival when they were about to die. "This is the first and last time I''ll lend someone my , and I''ll refuse if it ever happens again." I enter the general store, just to make sure that everyone around me is aware of my presence. There were some sighs that sounded like screams from here and there, but I don''t want to be taken in. As long as I''m strong with the knight, I should be able to get the <> even if the conditions are met and the knight falls ill with the >. Reno locks the door with a clank and the commotion is over. "Are you all right?" "Oh, I''m sorry. I''ll make sure to [transition] next time." He responds to Leno''s concerned question. "No, I just didn''t handle it well. I don''t think Cal would have made Homura go through the trouble. I wonder what they''re going to do about it. You don''t mean to tell me that there are a lot of incidents in front of the grocery store that would immediately send them to the Temple? I hug Lapidus and Noel, who come down to pick me up after noticing that I came home from an unusual entrance, respectively, and stop thinking deeply because I''m about to have a scary thought. 318 - - The Prewar Feast A prewar party is being held on the isle. The same place where the participants of the war were recruited is decorated with flowers and filled with men and women in formal attire. Two violins, viola, cello and double bass strings, seven wind players, percussion, harp and piano. Live slow music. In all ages, banquets have been held before battles to spend the last moments with friends who may die tomorrow and to boost the morale of the troops. It is a time to prepare for death, a time to prepare to give one''s life for one''s army, not for oneself. There is nothing tragic about it. This time there are many gentiles in the mix, so I''m sorry that the older knights, the nobles who seem to be participating in the battle, look like they are wondering if they are all right. I use "Depressing Heart" to be a stain on the wall. It''s a skill that distracts the opponent''s mind, keeps him from concentrating and makes him unaware of your presence, but there''s a problem. There are too many people looking at me. If I let this many people lose their concentration all at once, the party is sure to be even more chaotic. Peter is not at this party today because he is working at night and cannot come home. I came home just in time to see him and greeted him with ochazuke and the conversation we had just had. "Come this way, Lord." I had been deserting because I didn''t want to be in a section where people of high status were gathered, but I meekly follow Cal, who smiles at me as he picks me up. . Galahad warns me about the party conversation, and I take my seat. So why am I here? I have a vague idea of the number of gates that have been opened, but I still want to ask why. I don''t particularly want to pick up any residents to get a patrol car, and I''m also worried about the way Agravain is looking at me. I''m not asking you to be friends with Cal, but please stop staring at his head. "It''s been a long time, Mr. Lengard." "Yeah, I haven''t seen you since the other day." It was the boy king Hadil who approached me. His cheeks are bright red, as if he is in the mood for a party, or perhaps he is excited about the war like a boy. The contrast between Hadil and the knight behind him, who is standing erect and immobile and cheerful, is indescribable. "Thank you very much for your kindness. Alone is all better and now he is busy preparing for war in his country. "That''s great." d*mn ......, my vizier! The Hadil boy shakes hands and returns to his seat. It is not very kingly of him to come all the way over here to greet me, but I guess Prime Minister Alone will be educating him from now on. "Wise one!" Just as King Hadil left, the first prince of the land arrived. We exchanged a few perfunctory greetings, shook hands, and that was the end of it. Why are you coming to me?¡¡I guess that thought came out on my face, because after that, Cal took it easy on me. The music stopped playing and there was a fanfare. The buzzing crowd became quiet. It seemed that His Majesty the King of the Isle had appeared. "The time has finally come to fight the empire, all of you. The nobles of the Isle must do their duty! The king''s speech has begun. Oh, Christina''s here. Dark hair, slender arms and legs, slender back. --But why is her dress yellow? To be honest, it doesn''t suit her. When I saw her at the restaurant, I thought she was wearing a tasteful and elegant dress. <> He answers Cal''s question honestly. << No, wait. That makes it sound like I don''t have any luck with the ladies!¡¡I am a little shocked at the words of Camilla and Eagle as I try to think of other women''s names that come to mind. Not many ...... if you take out the clan relationships and business correspondence!¡¡In the first place, I suspect that all I do is eating and fighting. > <<>. <> <> When I answered Camilla, everyone looked at me like I had something to regret. < > << It''s more about blood and appearance than personal qualities. Come to think of it, discrimination against beastmen is still strong in this country. Camilla is wearing a dress with a wide hem instead of the usual mermaid line with a slit. The color of the dress is a subdued red, and she wears long gloves of the same color. The contrast between her black hair and her white shoulders and collarbone is striking. The dress is not tight-fitting, but the line of the fabric flowing over the body from the waist to above the knees is a little troubling, and the drape that extends above the knees is beautiful in the shades of fabric it creates. A delicate silver necklace of subdued luster, like a lace weave, adorns the bosom of the bust, which is adorned with a stone of dark purple-blue. Cal is dressed in white, like a military uniform with a stuffed collar. The collar and sleeves are decorated with gold, and a navy blue chief peeks out from the breast pocket. It suits a beautiful figure with a smile like a spring sunbeam. Look at you. Eagle is also a white collar, the same shape as Kal''s, but the decorations on the collar and sleeves are a little more subdued. The color of the decorations is silver, and there is a purple and navy blue chief in the breast pocket. The color of the decoration is silver, and there is a purple and navy blue chief in the breast pocket. Galahad of the same shape, black and gold. The chief in the breast pocket may be the color of my eyes, you guys! I am used to seeing Cal and Eagle in their collars, but Galahad looks fresh in his black collar. Camilla is beautiful and all three of them look good. I''m wearing my usual white gear because it''s too much trouble for me. After the conversation, I take another look around the venue and I see a group of people who are somewhat recognizable by their attire. The composition is like this: one person stands out because his cronies are wearing the same kind of clothes. ....... It''s cute to see the ladies wearing the same flower on their heads, or dresses of different colors. << According to Cal''s description, the marquises are Alvar, Valnor, Dhora, Lursha, Farnor, and Tatasha. This one is easier to understand because it is the same as the name of the city it governs. Among these cities, Arval and Valnor are familiar to players because they are open to anyone who pays money to build a house there. Well, they are the first places you will hit if the empire invades. "Enjoy the moment!" The king seems to have finished his speech, and the hand holding the cup is raised. Light music begins, and the nobles dance in the center of the room. The number of people in my vicinity has dwindled. Let''s eat while we can. To be honest, the food at Alsuna is not so good, since I have a strong image of Rules. However, I am impressed that they can serve such a large amount of hot food. Galahad says that the sake is good. > I look at his face when he calls out to me, and Cal''s gaze drifts over to me. I follow his gaze and see Christina. > < "That''s--" As I stood up, the first prince seemed to have noticed the commotion and looked at the crowd. As I get closer, I see Christina with her hands on the floor. Did she get pushed by some of the people confronting her? "Excuse me." The man confronting him was blonde-haired and blonde-eyed - so is he the second prince?¡¡And some boys and a girl, and two knights who looked like bodyguards. Christina''s knight (Conrad) was nowhere to be seen. The nobles are looking on from afar, and the gentiles are gawking at the spectacle. "Mr. White Wren ......!" White Wren? A voice came from somewhere. "Are you okay?¡¡Christina." "You are ......." I reached out a hand to Christina and helped her to her feet, and I saw some kind of stain from her chest to her stomach. "Lord Lengard, that man is connected to the Empire..." That''s impossible. The second prince started to say something, but denied it before he could finish. I don''t know about the parents, but I can''t imagine Christina having any connections to the empire. I remember Christina wavering between her loyalty to the royal family and her oath to me in our encounter before the great battle. "Is that you, Mr. Lengard?¡¡I thought the First Prince was coming!" "Seriously!" "What, you think I should have been friends with the villainess?" "Wow, isn''t he the strongest helpful character? "Prince Idiot, you did it!" I don''t know half of what I hear from the outside, but at any rate, I think the last one is a charge of disrespect. I don''t know about the second prince''s character, but even if you think it, you shouldn''t say it out loud here. I can''t speak for others, since I am also intruding into the conversation to the fullest extent. While I''m removing the wine stain, I''ll use [Design Embodiment] and [Luscha''s Fingertip] to change into a delicate dress the color of which is like the night sky I was shown at Garganos'' house. I explained to Garganos that [Design Embodiment] is a skill that allows me to reproduce an item once I have it, so I asked Garganos to let me put various things away once I have it. The dress is one of them. Ruscha''s Fingertip] can make a ready-made item into something new. "If you have suspicions, you should suspect others. As I escorted Christina back to her seat, the music resumed where it had stopped. The cloak is perfect if you ask her to dance with it. Hand armor appraisal result [......mm] Stop, I can''t dance! 319 - - Watch the Battle of Man <> He is walking back to his seat for the time being, but he doesn''t know what to do when he gets back, so he is walking slowly in vain. Galahad''s voice. > I answered Camilla and she sighed back. . All right, let''s flow into normal chit-chat now. "Wait!¡¡That person--" A cute voice that sounds like rolling bells stops me. I was ready to go through with it, but Christina stopped in her tracks. Or rather, she seemed to freeze. I had no choice but to turn around to see a small girl standing with tears in her big eyes with four or five boys in front of her. Her slender neck, white shoulders, loosely coiled blond hair, and weak, sheltered figure, but her purplish blue eyes looking at me... "Body and soul, charms do not work on me." "What ...... are you talking about?" A girl asks a question in a puzzled manner. The boys comfort her. Since I am older and taller than her, I feel like I am reprimanding her or bullying her, but it''s just my imagination. The stares are a little painful, and I''m whispering a little in the distance, but Cal and the others in the same seat are starting to make their moves. "There are other people here who have the higher skill of [Appraisal] besides me." "Catch me!" Before I can finish my words, the first prince''s voice rings out sharply. He points at the girl. "Hey, brother!" The second prince makes a startled sound that borders on protest. "Ah!¡¡I can''t seem to capture that girl because she was an event character. ......!" "This is the reason why half of the marquises didn''t make it!" "Yes, but Henri-sama--Varnol third son is down!¡¡I think you could have done it, just with a higher difficulty level!" "Oh, I stripped that heroine and she became decent ......" "What''s a body and external body?" "The one where Sun Wukong blows his own hair to create his alter ego. In this game, it''s the alter ego of the nine tails! "Oh, so it''s a servant of the sealed beast!" "Break off the engagement, plunder, do whatever you want. I''m in love with the Marquise Dora. "Is it her fault that all those handsome guys I thought were nice at first are turning out to be jerks?" "I''m in love with the handsome man I''ve rehabilitated, aren''t I?" The players are quick to judge the situation, but the words that fly around are more about comforting a handsome man or a beautiful woman, or maybe it''s because it''s a school. ....... Youth, youth is there?¡¡No, but is this a romance? But still, the second prince, in this case, is either too deceived to admit it or too dim-witted to admit it. I heard that there are many nobles behind the scenes who say that he is more suitable for the crown prince than the first prince, who is quite brilliant and has golden--purple eyes. There''s a difference between smart and educated, and I wonder how this prince was mentally. I don''t have a good impression of him. Even if he was blindly in love, he wouldn''t take something from someone or violate someone, would he?¡¡At the most, I think they would neglect their surroundings and their work because they are distracted by other things. I don''t understand why they are actively harassing me, and then the player vs. the outsider and his party started. There are so many expensive things in this hall!¡¡I put up a [ward] without thinking. I already have a fox Fluffy, so I''ll give it to you, hahaha. Oh, but be careful, it probably won''t be a perfect victory if you make the boys unable to fight, right?¡¡That''s the second prince in the mix. I return to the table this time with these thoughts in my mind. The luxury of already having Fluffy in my pocket makes me feel more open-minded! "Don''t hurt His Highness Geena!" "No, just stay alive!¡¡There are people here who can use high-level healing ......." "The heir to the Duke of Albar, the son of the chief priest of Tatasha, the son of the great merchant of Dura, all of them are from territories close to the Empire!" "The head of the family is required to drink at least on his way to the castle. But the school is ......." There''s something close to a rant going on among the adults, but I don''t care. < is being called holy water, but I don''t care. Yekaterina is pouring it with a ladle in a tub and smiling like she''s sprinkling water in the summer. Eagle guesses this from an exchange that is difficult to hear due to the sounds of battle. Galahad sits awkwardly in his chair, sipping his coffee and watching the battle at an angle. . . Galahad and the others argue. "You arranged for the participants of this party to drink at the entrance, didn''t you?" "I''m sorry, I guess the attendants added a little extra care for the second prince." The first prince, who has just returned from giving instructions to the guards, hears Camilla''s words and apologizes. They are talking a lot in the party conversation, but from the outside it looks like they are silently watching the battle and Camilla is complaining about the inadequacy of the security. The misbehaving gang being apologized to by the royals: ....... Christina looks extremely uncomfortable, but she''ll have to give it up. Safety first. "Lord, a fresh pot of tea." Cal smiles and holds out the cup he received from the chamberlain to me. You don''t mind a little more fighting in the hall, do you? In fact, the knights who are supposed to be the combatants are standing up to form a wall so that they can enter the battle at any time. "There''s something in the way that I can''t beat. Oh man, that''s gonna be a pain in the ass. It''s going to take a while. Galahad and Camilla. I wonder if it''s not possible to use total magic to disable them all and bring them back to life by choice. I have a feeling that if you kill them all, the event will go on and you won''t get time to revive them. It would be hard to get enough revival medicine for everyone at the casino. "By the way, your dress is beautiful, it suits you. "Designed by Garganos." Without the special effects on the original dress, it would be an ordinary dress, but the flowing lines are so beautiful that it cannot help but catch the eye. Garganos'' technique and sense of style are excellent. It is a mystery how he can create such a detailed dress with such thick fingers. "Garganos'' ......" Um... "The Princess of Eus asked for a year to finally have it made. ......" The room is immediately buzzing with excitement. Garganos is a recluse, but he was known by those in the know. > Camilla nails it. The fabric is the finest silk chiffon. It is thin, lightweight, soft, and has no sheen despite its silkiness, but there are hundreds of tiny transparent crystals of different sizes sewn into it that reflect the light and shine like stars as they move. "Thank you, Mr. Lengard. I will return this dress later." When Christina and I meet eyes, I stand up and look at the beautiful curtesy. She is a very strong woman, like Ur-Lolo, who can bend her knees without making a slight movement of her upper body. "You can keep the dress." It''s obvious that the original dress was custom made and fits Christina perfectly, which is why the current dress is also true to size. I don''t want it back. > "But still, it''s tricky to come to your senses when you''re splashed with water." "It''s working. It takes time for even a knight who has been enchanted for a long time to come to his senses. Besides, the former is now at his side. Eagle says. I heard that Percival and some other knights were frightened by a splash of water, but they did not come to their senses immediately and escaped. The frightened face is not so much startled as it is holding its forehead to stave off a sudden headache, so you can tell if it is [fascinated] or not. It seems that he is doing his best to capture them, but in fact, they are getting away from him quite a bit. It can''t be helped that the temple doesn''t have the strength to fight. "Ashirei - the girl entered the school last year. Christina watches the battle unfold. Mr. Management?¡¡Asirei, you''re not a fox, are you?¡¡Or was it a fox until he was a hundred years old. "I hope I didn''t touch (?????) you directly." Cal softens his expression, perhaps because he is in front of a woman. Well, it is said that if you get loose with them, you get boned even if you come back to your senses, like withdrawal symptoms from a drug. "It seems that the skill of [inclination] of the body and soul also only works on the opposite s*x. The range of effect also seems to be limited." "Skill, huh?" "We know that the jade moths in the empire seem to have a title with the same name." Kuzunoha''s inclination is also a skill, except for the body, which is apparently a skill rather than a title. "Only the opposite s*x, by the way. Galahad adds after Cal''s explanation. --Why is my [inclination] omnipresent? "My brother has inconvenienced you ......." The first prince apologizes again. I think it''s your daughter who''s been inconvenienced. "I''m sorry, Christina. I apologize on behalf of His Majesty who cannot bow. No, I (I) am ......" You sound troubled. Well, even if I responded that as a fianc¨¦e, I couldn''t notice, it seems like my family should have noticed first. On the other hand, he seems hesitant to accept the apology as it is. "Depending on the extent to which I was doing things that benefited the empire, I''m sure my engagement with that one will be called off." The first prince looks at me for some reason. <<> Gosh! < What am I supposed to do with this? Christina, you''re smiling, but it''s a blank expression, and you''re confused. I saw her hand wandering around trying to hide her face with her fan, even though she doesn''t have it. The fan has probably fallen on the battlefield. > < Processing--how will it be handled? Homura Sent: Hey there, good evening. The Lengard in front of you is Homura. I sent him an email anyway. 320 - - The Empire < Galahad looks at me like I''m a fool. For some reason, Cal, who is still standing next to me, says, "I don''t know. > <<> <> Answers to Camilla''s and Eagle''s questions. Galahad will get into it, but Patoka was exchanged, but his name is gray because of the event (no contact) period, so it would be difficult to say that he has exchanged it. The mail was sent as a normal taget since I was nearby. I have also rejected the exchange of patoca and the dialogue and mail with those who have not exchanged patoca, so I cannot receive the mail. Maybe Christina has the same setting - no, she did receive my e-mail because it was not returned to me. > Cal asks. Galahad says, "I shifted my body a little and peeked at the player''s battle from behind Cal''s back, and his body went from humanoid to fluffy! Kal looks at Galahad with a smirk, and Galahad is at a loss for words at the look in his eyes. <> > I look away. > I look away even more. I look away and see serious faces. If we go to the empire, we will have to fight against the upper echelon of the outer body because Tamamo is there. The knights standing in front of me, as well as the princes and those in a certain position, are watching the battle and discussing how to deal with the situation without taking their gazes off each other. < Galahad nods deeply. > When I answered Camilla, Eagle asked me with a straight face. <> Funny, huh?¡¡The other guys are seriously watching and analyzing the battle, while my party is more like my coping mechanisms.¡¡I heard that Cal was blocking me from seeing him, but I wonder if the topic of revealing to Christina that we are the same person was also to distract her from the battle. I don''t need you to be so careful. I don''t think I''ve been in a battle with Fluffy either - the wolf in the Fast Forest was the last one. ....... I''m not sure if that wolf was fluffy or not. And the griffin that Roy and I beat?¡¡Huh? Roy and his friends are in the alliance of the battle with the outsiders. If you look at the battle seriously, is Elias there too?¡¡There are some heavily armed fighters, including some with big shields, and some in flashy party outfits. Maybe there are some oatmeal, but it''s chaotic and hard to tell. Kal and the knights who had formed a wall alongside us opened the space between us so that we could see them. Don''t worry, I''m cool. Someone makes a big move and my body screams. I get smaller and smaller as my body wraps around it. I thought it would turn into hair, but it turns into an orb that looks like a pink peach. I guess they are called "Nyoi Bouju," or pearls with a pointed top. For some reason, a pedestal also appeared. "Oh, wow!¡¡We won!" "Good job!" "I like the reward!" "Can someone please trade me a fin for something?¡¡I can''t wear this, man! "Oh?¡¡If you touch this, you get [Inclination Disable]!" "Oh, it''s against the body!" "Why don''t you just use at the general store?" "Say <> or <>, or the priests will smile at you." What!¡¡I''m not sure what you mean by "leaning invalid"! > I feel safer in many ways. << Why no response from Camilla and Cal? "The effect is ten days. It''s loose, but it''s a time attack." ....... I want to rid the world of time attacks. "Christina, His Majesty and Lord Ardivance have asked to come to the other room." The first prince''s chamberlain overheard the prince, and the prince told Christina. The king and some of his men were escorted out of the hall in the event of a battle. I think it is safer here with so many knights and Cal, but I guess that is the procedure in case of emergency. The first and second princes are here too, and it is not good to have so many royalty gathered here. "Yes. Thank you, Mr. Lengard. Christina thanks him once more and leaves the hall with her attendants. "I am sorry for the ugliness I showed you at the banquet before the war. I am confused by what I have discovered. I will apologize and thank you again. "Don''t worry about us. We''ll make it fair." The first prince bows silently to me and leaves the hall. I wonder if it was right for me to sit there and accept his apology. > > Returned to the general store. "It was too much trouble!¡¡And I can''t eat!" After all, I only drank tea. "The food is better in Homura, so you don''t have to eat that." "It''s very elaborate, though." Eagle shrugs at Galahad''s words. "I wish I could have danced with Homra." I should at least learn to waltz." I have a feeling there will be a celebration party if we win. Shall I teach you? I''ll ask you after the battle of the empire." I''d like to learn from Camilla anyway, but I guess women and men have different parts. Cal seems to dance gracefully in practice. "Welcome back!" "Welcome home." I hug Lapidus and Noel who come running to me. For the main course, we had three whole roasted golden-headed chickens, since roasting them was part of the party''s menu. A salad of shrimp and avocado with mayonnaise, using a large tomato as a container. A Caesar salad of romaine lettuce and arugula topped with croutons and a half-boiled egg. Two kinds of pizza, three kinds of sausages, four kinds of pintxos, roast beef. Lapidus and Noel knew we were at the party and couldn''t eat, so we decided to make party food. We toasted with wine and grape juice. "Hey, I''m going to break up the bird!" Galahad then dismantles the whole roast so that it is easy to eat. He separates the thigh from the wings and deftly removes them with a knife inserted into the belly. "Oh, it''s delicious! The skin is crispy and the inside is moist and juicy. It was worth the trip. "Thank you." I thank Cal, who smiles at me. The golden flower chicken came from somewhere Cal had caught it. "Lord, it''s delicious!" "Lapidus likes this." The two children loved it. "The pizza is good, too." Camilla eating a Mochi Mentaiko pizza. The other pizza is a quattro cheese pizza with honey, which Eagle likes. While I was eating a sorbet after dinner, Christina replied to my text message. She said that she had read it because the sender was Homra (me) and that she was surprised to see me at the party. As for the fact that I was a lenguard, she replied that it was too late and that there was an inscription on the pendant, so she did not seem to connect me with the lenguard at the party. Finally, he said that he wanted me to meet him at <> after the battle of the empire. Is it a flag that a woman asks me to meet her before the battle?¡¡Is it weaker than "I, when this battle is over ......"? I can revive myself in the temple even if I am disabled in battle, but for the residents, their lives are at stake. It is a brief peace before the war. A few days after the party, the first battle is about to begin in the hunting grounds of Parthin. The two camps facing each other across the dry river are five times the number of each other. The other camp is larger in number and seems to be more bloodthirsty. So far they are well organized, but as an army they are a hodgepodge. Well, maybe not quite a hodgepodge, since it consists of the Isle''s national army, a small army of cooperating nations under its leadership, former knights of the empire, and adventurers. It is to be expected that adventurers would be left out of the leadership. We watch it from the sky for a while. As in the big battle, Kal and Galahad are on horseback on the left and right. After the first battle in the wilderness, they will go their separate ways. It''s not Tamamo''s fault!¡¡The emperor is in the capital and Merlin is in the forest tower. It seems that the emperor, who has not been seen for a while, has come out, but the prince has disappeared from the capital instead. I am checking to see if he is in the tower with Merlin. I am after Nue, and if it comes to it, I will try to move him by using the effect of [Arbitrator]. Since I have never used this title before, I will first sneak into the temple of the empire and open the transfer gate. I''m supposed to work with Peter, though he hasn''t come yet. I''m not busy right now, so I bury my face in the white body. > > Oh, it feels so good. The bliss of burying my face in the white belly with the whiskers. "Ah, Master Lengard is saddened by the strife!" A cry goes up from the camp below. "No, it is mourning the death of an enemy who has already been set down! A new voice continues. Huh? "Hey, I think you''ve been misunderstood. Galahad immediately understands that it is a misunderstanding. He doesn''t know what he has been misunderstood, but he is sure that it is a misunderstanding. "Lord, do you have a mystiff in your hand?" "I''m at ......." White should have disappeared, but Cal seems to know. "Homura ......" "Let''s weigh in a little, shall we?" Camilla and Eagle. "I can''t see white and I''m a little ......" > "That looks like you''re looking at your palm and shaking your head. White stops me, Galahad explains, and I reluctantly give up the swing. 321 - - The Ninja The big battle again. This time, it seemed that the main players were on the side of the residents and the gentiles were completely helping them, and when we gained an advantage to some extent, they easily backed off, and we ended up in a standoff across a dry river. Some of the Gentile parties tried to attack, but it seemed that they could not cross the dry river due to events. Peter: Homura, should we go now?¡¡It looks like it stopped this way. Homura: Okay, let''s go! Ochazuke: Have a good day! A quest is underway to liberate the transition gate in the empire. This quest is for the liberation of individual gates, and at the same time, it allows the army of the aisle to advance to the land where the gates are located. Since the players can only advance and lose if they do not achieve any results, there are many players who remain in the army like Ochazuke. Shin is working overtime and Kikuhime is late for a real drinking party. ...... Is Kikuhime absent? Personally, I would like to liberate the area near the Imperial City, but the army cannot advance until the front is liberated. Well, is it possible to liberate the back and proceed at once? I''m off. Lord, be safe. Don''t get caught up in anything weird. Don''t hurt yourself. "Be careful." Galahad, what''s weird, what''s weird. With the words coming back from each of them, they [shift] to join Peter. I change my clothes in a secluded place. Peter: Homura, what''s with the coat? Homura: Same outfit as last time we went undercover. Wyvern''s coat, I dropped it off but haven''t had a chance to use it. ....... Also, I can''t find Peter, who is supposed to be here. Homura: I don''t know where Peter is. Peter: Because I finally became a ninja! Homura: Oh?¡¡Congratulations. I was invited to a party, and when I accepted, I could see Peter. He was pretty close to me. It''s a skill called "presence breakdown". I''ll try to see if I can see him later with my sacred artifact on. I put on the fox mask with the [Recognition Block] and return from the temple to the battlefield once more. A simple transfer plate is available on the battlefield at the isle for those who have been recruited for the imperial expedition at the royal castle. Leo: Hey, are you two on board? A red raccoon dog comes running quickly in front of me. Its skin is still round and stretches with centrifugal force. Homura: Looks like it has 4WD written all over it, Leo''s Alfa Romeo! Peter: No, wait, wow, my [Attention Breakdown] is not working. Leo: The number of passengers has increased to four! Peter: A normal raccoon rides in a party in width! Homura: Two people''s worth of speed converted to speed. ...... Peter: Homura, stop being so naive and convinced? Ochazuke: Peter, good luck with your commentary! Leo: wahahahahahaha! "Lucky red raccoon dog!" "Where is it?¡¡Oh, really!¡¡It''s a rare stop." "Hey, is that coat from the big battle?¡¡The one who put Alice out?" People are gathering, so I quickly get into my Alfa Romeo. The red raccoon stands out. We ask them to head into the empire and give us a ride until we encounter the enemy. LEO: Let''s go! Homura: Gohu! Peter: ...... G is . They''re going to take my guts and upper body with them. Homura: Are we not going to increase the riding comfort of the cavalry? Leo: All the way to speed! Homura: ...... Peter: You should give up w When I asked Leo when the shock of the start was wearing off, he gave me a clear answer. The red raccoon dog will continue to be as comfortable as ever. I was looking forward to it a little, but I had heard that if you make the raccoon dog more comfortable, it will become fluffy and burrow into the air. Peter: By the way, how did you really detect the [presence breakdown]? Leo: Intuition! Peter: ...... Homura: You should give up. It''s not the first time Leo has been unreasonable. Peter: I''d like to see Leo''s skills and titles for once. Homura: Chaos guaranteed! Leo: I don''t know what''s working either! He is not a strong fighter, but his ability to go fishing solo in unexplored areas of the world is outstanding. Though he often comes back to die. LEO: Oops, that''s it!¡¡Come on! With these words, the Alfa Romeo comes to a sudden stop and Peter and I are thrown out with the momentum. Homura: Leo! Peter: this is terrible! "Wahahahahaha!" The red raccoon dog moves away, leaving behind a sound of laughter. I try to complain, but soon I will be in another area of the event and the clan conversation will be out of reach. "Suspicious man!" I was left in front of the enemy, or rather, I and Peter were left alone. While I watch the smoke from the Alfa Romeo, Peter quickly sinks the Imperial Guard. Even though it''s nighttime, they''ll find us fast with that smoke. ....... We need to move fast. We don''t kill the Reichswehr, but tie them up and I cast a sleep spell on them to make sure they don''t fall asleep and push them into the water mill. The place where Leo popped me is not the capital, but it''s in front of a mill outside the city that''s not far from the capital. > <> I''m not good at keeping a sharp eye out. I''d rather just go in like Leo and swoop in with my speed or destroy them all. But this time, I heard that if you move too brazenly, you will be locked at the transfer gate, so be careful. This quest is a field in which I am not good at and Peter is good at. The number of enemies you kill is counted, and when it reaches one hundred, you will fail to unlock the gate in that town. I am talking about all players in this area, not just us, but probably still only me and Peter, since I don''t think there is a cavalryman who can catch up with Alfa Romeo. If we are found, we will not be counted, but we will be called for reinforcements and the guards of the temple will increase. The locked area can no longer be chosen as a march route, so the more failures you make, the more the route will be limited and the Imperial Army will have the advantage. Even if the player wins there, the game will be cleared with low results, and the player will not be able to conclude a treaty that is favorable to him. Restrictions on transfer gates, restrictions on the commissioning of commercial guilds, and higher entrance fees to dungeons in the empire were among the topics of discussion among the higher-ups at the castle. > <<> Since the war is on, the Isle side has stopped transfers from the empire. We will follow Peter to liberate this town and secure an escape route. > << <> It''s not so much that it cuts off their presence, but it''s something like cutting off their existence because they become invisible. Well, it''s no use if you can sneak into the front door without hesitation. It will be possible to surprise them as much as you want. From a little distance behind a rock, we first observe the town. We can''t see the guards, but we can see that there are people by the flickering lights of the bonfire on the other side of the gate. < The gate towers Peter refers to are the towers attached to the town wall on either side of the gate. <> He then stands in front of the wall, far from any gate and with no lights visible inside. In Peter''s hand is that tool with the claw at the end of the rope. He spins it around and throws it, pulls it a couple of times to make sure the claw is well caught, and climbs up the wall without difficulty. I follow Peter''s lead, grab the rope, and climb up the wall. I cannot use my skills or magic because they are detected. I climb over the wall and move through the shadows. It is a rather large town because of the temple that holds the gate of transmigration. Temples are usually located in the center of the town, either facing the plaza or the square just inside the main gate. In town, people refrain from party conversation and move around with eye contact and hand signs. The temple is the main facility of the town, so there are soldiers patrolling outside. Observe them closely in the shadows, and determine the timing of their patrols. The first barrier, the wall surrounding the temple site. Peter has a straight sword propped up and dexterously uses the tsuba (brim) as a foothold on top of the wall. I throw Peter''s sword upward from below, and Peter receives it. I can jump like this normally, so there was no problem. The second barrier, the patrolling soldiers in the garden and the traps for some reason. The temple is a place for citizens of the empire, isn''t it?¡¡What''s the point of setting a trap? I''ll cry if there''s a trap in the courtyard where I met Fast''s white. Inside the temple, they hide behind the pillars to get past the patrolling soldiers, and at times they use the props (gimmicks) provided to distract the soldiers and proceed. I don''t know why they would start drinking if you put a bottle of wine in the middle of the aisle! In order to free the gate, we had to find the passcode for the spell in the same temple, and we had to go around quite a bit. Why is it in the wine cellar, if not in the priest''s room? --When I asked Ochazuke about it later, he told me that this town is famous for wine in the empire, so maybe that was a hint.¡¡I was lightly told. Preliminary research is very important! Peter checks the window, but we are already in front of the transition gate. < Peter and I are a little confused. The puzzle consisted of a square with four numbered squares in a square frame, and one number that was not in the passcode was removed to make use of the space to move the numbers. I was a little tempted to crack the puzzle, but I successfully cleared it and released the gate. I was afraid that even if I got a good start, the puzzle might catch up with me. Well, it doesn''t matter who liberates the gate. 322 - - The Unexpected Help? It is not a puzzle--it seems that the passcode has to be unlocked by a couple of people in a separate event space. When I open the event window, a gauge is accumulating, so I guess the gate will be released when the gauge is full. . That reminds me. > Peter asks looking at the window. . << Peter seems to be concerned about Nue, who might have the ability to change his appearance. I''m curious too, but I''m 50/50 if he''s at the palace or by Merlin''s side - or more likely at the palace if he''s taking the form of a prince.¡¡But it is also romantic to go where others do not go. I asked Kal and the others to call me if there is a man of mystery! We leave Peter, cross the capital, summon the white tiger, and ride through the wilderness. The land of the empire is really a wasteland. The only way to eat is to reduce the number of people or to secure food from other countries. At the end of the wilderness, a black forest comes into view, a disproportionately large forest. In medieval Europe, forests were considered evil by Christians and were cut down and turned into farmland. The people who lived on the bounty of the forest must have shifted to wheat and other grains that could be supplied more stably. In this world, where spirits and gods actually exist (...), something so extreme as to strip the forests naked would not happen, but maybe we should burn the forests right here in front of us.¡¡Disastrous. Twisted branches with furrows, tangled roots with knobs, leaves that look black beyond dark green. According to Kal, Galahad, and the knights, Merlin''s tower is in this direction. The tower is located in an area where there is a line of exceptionally large trees. In front of the tower, which is entangled and swallowed by the trunks of the trees, is a man in a white knight''s coat. His hair is brown with an orange tinge. "Lengard the Wise!¡¡I will not let you pass before the Tamamo-sama!" Percival the Shiba Inu was guarding the front of the tower. I sent the white tiger back to confront him, but I wonder if I should have brought Galahad or Camilla, event-wise. What?¡¡But Camilla''s sister is missing. "Percival!¡¡I, Akira, will not let you stand in the way of the wise Lord Lengard!" But then Akira appeared out of nowhere. "Percival-sama, please come to your senses!" I looked up at the voice and saw my sister riding on a big white hawk. Did you jump from there? What the hell?¡¡You''re here and you''re on our side? "Percival!¡¡You''re one of mine!¡¡I don''t want to fight. I don''t want to fight, but I made up my mind to follow Lengard the Wise when he saved Aimee!" No, wait. I don''t want you to obey me. And what''s this "Lengard the Wise" stuff? "Thank you, Wise Lengard. Both Master Merlin and Master Percival are obviously strange. I knew it at first but I obeyed them because of my sister''s rebellion. But ......" From the words of Camilla''s sister, Akira-kun, Eimi is making a sad face. "Please go, Akira-sama and I will take care of this ......!" I''m not following you. Is this the part where you just go ahead and act like you know it all?¡¡--Well, it''s a hassle, so let''s move on. I''ll just cast some auxiliary magic for the time being, but no, my auxiliary magic is too subtle. I reconsider and throw Akira a . Thanks to , I can now eat a little. It''s still not quite tasty, but it''s much better. Akira seems to have a lot of great skills. I''m sure Akira has a lot of great skills, and there will never be enough E! I''ll leave the rest to you!¡¡It''s going to be complicated, so I''m going! With Akira and the others in high spirits, I enter the tower. The large door that had been open behind me closes slowly and noisily. Is this for one person?¡¡Maybe it''s for a party, but is it an event space again? > Black and white appear on the left and right shoulders. Whether you look to the right or to the left, it''s still a blistering blistering blistering blistering blistering. <> He answers White and defeats the enemy who attacked him. > > Black, Aldvaan joins the fight, mumbling. Yes, he went on a rampage for the sake of his comrades, I suppose. It is pitch black in the tower, and sometimes a twisted branch breaks the stone wall and the wind flows through the gap. Bats, owls, and other creatures with the characteristics of various animals, like chimeras, attacked us. There are wards in front of the stairs to the top, and you have to get a key for each of them to proceed. Keys are dropped by ordinary enemies on the first floor, treasure chests on the second floor, and keys on the third floor can be obtained by defeating specific enemies. The key to the fourth floor was found under the pedestal of the statue of a god. It took me a little time to find what I was looking for in combination with solving the riddle. Please give us more clear hints. Especially certain enemies on the third floor, if you have more of them to kill than those on the first floor, please tell me that there are more of them. I thought it was a different one, but I beat another one in the process. Does this mean that Merlin, who lives in this house, has to climb up to the top looking for the key every time?¡¡No, there''s a spare key. Or is this the spare key?¡¡You sound like someone who hides the key under a flowerpot or in the mailbox in case he forgets the key. You''re gonna get robbed, man. In this case, I''m the thief. > <<< Will you not take this seriously! >> Aldvaan is surprisingly serious. I wonder if it is because he is so serious that he has made a mistake. Well, this is the next to last room, judging by its height. What if Merlin is not at home?¡¡With this in mind, he inserts the key into the ward that covers the staircase like a force shield with intricate patterns painted on it. The key is inserted in the center of the pattern, and the pattern wiggles as if it doesn''t like the key, then scatters outward like an insect, and the ward is released. Merlin, you''re not a bug man, are you?¡¡The wards are a little creepy, like a swarm of crucian carp. And you can''t go through the wards because they are physical (insects) or something like that ......?¡¡No, let''s not think about it. "You got there easily. Wasn''t that a barrier for me?¡¡Are your feelings that weak? It''s sad. ......" A fox-eared beauty leans on an old man in a red robe. Her skin is pure white, her lips are bright red, her eyes are round and round, and her hair is black, straight and glossy. With her slender fingertips in red, she strokes the breast of the robe. "Oh, oh. If that''s what you want, my dear woman, even if you''re the emperor, I''ll leave you now!" He is a no-good-looking old man stroking Tamamo''s buttocks. The hood of his robe casts a dark shadow over his face, but you can see his long white beard. I wonder if it''s Merlin. And the seaweed. His tail is fluffy, but he is humanoid. Too bad the White Man is from King''s Landing. "Ha-ha-ha!¡¡How dare you come to this tower!¡¡But I will not give you Tamamo-sama!" Just as Merlin begins to laugh, Tamamo flies backwards. His red lips are parted in a crescent shape, as if he is happy to be in a fight, and his face is tinted with amusement. Quickly, Merlin takes off his hooded robe to reveal himself. Well, we knew it was Merlin in the first place, and now... <> <> There he is, a muscular, macho old man. The robe is just caught in the waistband and the top is off, but why is he naked on top?¡¡Are you completely naked under the robe? And I knew the gorilla in the forest ......! 323 - - The Rewards of the Tower "Oh, ....... That''s a nice back." A pink effect flies from Tamamo to Merlin. And Merlin is enhanced, his skin turning from sandy to blue-black. But his aura is pink. He mumbles involuntarily. > White eyes stare at me. "Hmph!" Merlin holds out his hand in a spirited gesture, and a stone comes flying off the wall behind me. . I keep my eyes on Merlin and avoid the brick-sized stones that come flying at me one after another. I''ve gotten used to avoiding them with my fluttering robe, I think. The tower seems to have been made of brick-sized stone blocks filled with mortar and rubble, and where the stones have been peeled off, clumps of dry earth are peeking out. < <> While talking with White and Aldvaan by telepathy, he avoids stones and closes the distance with Merlin. "Looks like it''s over." The flying stones stop, and I stop my footsteps. The hem of my robe returns after a delay. Does it stop when it gets close to a certain distance?¡¡I''ll wait for someone to verify the answer later. "You''re a genius!" Marlin crosses his arms in front of his chest and exerts himself so much that the veins on the backs of his hands and arms stand out. A fireball appears in each of his hands. > White pats me down. The pawpaw is just a reward, though. > Aldvarne stands in the air with his back hairs down over his buttocks, his paws on the ground in an "eight" just like the black one. I wonder if I would be scolded if I touched the fluff on his back. You can''t avoid this! Merlin unleashes a fireball. "[Water] " I imitate him and produce a wall of water from my right and left hands. Ah, so Merlin is also a double magician or something, in addition to being chantless. My water wall blocks Merlin''s fireball, and a steam explosion occurs. The direction of the explosion is on Merlin''s side, but the distance between the two sides is too great to have any particular effect. "......!¡¡You son of a b*tc*!" Marlin glares at us hatefully." Merlin said, "I can''t avoid it." I thought it had a tracking function, so I countered without dodging, but it looks like I was right. White, who cuts it down to the bare bones. Merlin, I suspect you''re a brainiac. Or is there a difference between strategy and tactics?¡¡Or a fighting maniac. "Let''s beat them quickly and have some fun together, shall we?¡¡Oh, I love the idea of a cushion on the floor with the man''s warm blood running through it." You''re not very tasteful, Tamamo. "Oh, oh!" Hearing Tamamo''s voice, Merlin shows his delight. The aura over his body becomes stronger. Stop the pink. No! Let''s shut Tamamo''s mouth before he starts talking about the eighteen bans! Merlin seems to be getting stronger. But when I try to get to Tamamo by using [Shukuji], Merlin will always come in between us. He swings his sword to the side while avoiding Merlin''s fist. Merlin moves like an old man and ducks, and the destructive force of his powerful fist flows through the stone floor and cracks it. Stay away from the woman!¡¡No one can have my fragrance or my sweet skin!" When he says this, he releases a strong flash of light. He moves away from the light curtain as it slices through the stone walls and floors like a sharp, thin blade. It is magic, probably druid magic, but I don''t have time to look into it. The magic is fast, probably because of its high magical power. And even after it is activated, it is fast. I also use level 40 [Druid Magic] <, but it takes a short time from activation to impact. Even if it is specialized in speed, I feel that it is hard for knights and warriors to use it. "But you look nice, too. Beautiful eyes, well-proportioned body, smooth and fresh skin - oh, how I''d love to see your skin stained with blood. Your own blood or the blood of the man in front of you." Something flew over here, too!¡¡It appears to be a charm spell that simplifies thoughts and increases strength and magic in exchange for numbing the pain of fear and injury. Perhaps if you fall under this spell, you will end up fighting a bloody battle to the death, just as Tamamo wished. "But charms don''t work on me. He mumbles softly and cleaves with his sword. The blade makes a thin cut on Merlin''s retreating face, and blood flows. "An, I like the color red. I like the sword that bleeds more than magic." With a sneer, he puts his hand into a cup that looks like a fruit cup. He picks up something that looks like animal entrails. He swallows it smoothly without spilling any blood, and licks his tongue. Enjoy my hot breath. Tamamo exhales softly. A dozen foxfires appear in the room and begin to drift slowly. My demon fire burns your skin and sucks your magic. Be careful, both of you. A smile twists her lips without making a sound, and she looks amused. Both of you?¡¡--maybe Merlin can win or lose here?¡¡And the auxiliary reinforcement seems a bit clunky. It is powerful, but I get the impression that it is not suitable for the target (Marlin). << what is it? >> <> Two of them listen to my mutterings. . <> White interrupts Black and shouts. "Wand of the ash tree, my dwelling tree!" Merlin shouts, and a large sword appears with a thunderbolt-like effect. "God of War, you can''t take it! As soon as he shouts this, Marlin is hit by the foxfire and steps into the fire, not caring that his skin is burned. > Black advises. <>. Lend me your ability. Ability loan] <> White ability grant. Time Magic] <,Speed up. Druid] <>,Defense up. Spirit] <<><>,Defense up. At the same time, my easy set. I duck Merlin''s sword and turn around to face him. A pause. Perhaps my still-unavailable [druid magic] is stronger. A party that has taken every precaution against wizards might miss the mark and have a hard time. But-- "I will not be defeated by a wizard with a sword." Step in and [flash]. He entered the weak point, but did not trigger instant death. Without letting the opponent swing his sword, he takes one or two more swings and continues to attack without rest as if he were taking dance steps. There seems to be a lot of "H! But that''s all there is to it. I won''t give it to you, I won''t give it to you. Oh ...... oh ...... oh ...... but ......" Suddenly Merlin stops moving, and his muscles contract with a rumbling sound. With each sound, a runic character pops out from its dented spot, followed by a shattering effect. < The two were right, and all that remained was an old man who could not stand on his own feet like a dead tree. "Oh ...... oh ...... dear woman ......" His eyes see nothing, and he sits there and begins to mumble. I got the title of "First Solo Defeater of the Wizard''s Tower. I got the , the reward for my first solo defeat. The first to defeat with the fewest number of people. This information will remain confidential. Levels have been raised. Some of the abilities are not quite right, but I don''t care anymore. I had hoped that it would be raised just before the battle with Tamamo or Zuwa, but it turns out that neither of them is here. Would I be able to make it to the capital in time?¡¡Even if I make it, I doubt I will be included in the raid. I have a feeling that the roles have already been assigned. Maybe I should ask Cal to put me in the resident''s group.¡¡No, I''m sure they had a detailed meeting and formed up for the battle of the Imperial City, so I don''t want to disturb them. I heard the announcement and it seems that the battle is over. The reason why we haven''t been able to defeat them is probably because they will be resurrected when the next attacker arrives. The fact that the tower is hidden means that this tower is a hidden element. The effect of [Wizard of the Tower] is to increase magic defense and speed up the time from activation to landing of the magic. The latter is a bonus for the minimum number of players. is a wand specialized in druidic magic and strengthened. Like Krulkan''s staff, it seems to grow. "Hmmm...you lost. But don''t worry, I''ll take your wasted magic to Tamamo-sama. You''ll be rewarded too, come see me again someday. The woman''s clothes fall off and her hair ornament falls to the floor, making a hard clatter. The woman is gone. Moreover, there is a sign that Tamamo has been enhanced. > < He says as he picks up the ema (votive tablet) that had fallen on his clothes. This ema must be the prize, and it says "a pass to the demon''s world, to be held up in the proper place". That''s it, I can go there from other places than where Ukon is sitting, right? <<< Nah!¡¡I just didn''t know how this guy fights! >> <> They start to play with each other. .

On the other hand, at that time A marble tea table floating white in the scent of roses. A fragile beauty, a gentle boy, and a faceless maid standing behind them. It is early in the morning when the garden''s rose fragrance comes into the air, but now it is a heady scent from the flowers that have been scattered by the knights and adventurers who have stepped into the garden, some of whom are not paying attention. Is it the armed crowd that does not fit this place?¡¡Or are they the ones who gracefully enjoy tea? "We haven''t seen each other in a long time, Lancelot. I''ve missed you. ......" A woman in a white flowing dress with a long, flowing veil behind her, sets down her teacup silently and calls out to you, looking downcast. "Queen Guinevere. What is wrong with the king? A knight in a white cloak with blue lining, called Lancelot, asks. "You''re lying low, sir." "There''s still some skirmishing, but the castle is under control and even the cellars are manned. Is the dried-up corpse in the east tower the king?" Galahad, the red-haired knight, asks back. "What are all the knights of Asha''s garden doing here?¡¡The king is lying in wait." Guinevere replies with troubled eyes. The Rose Garden is surrounded by the knights of Asha''s garden, who are further surrounded by adventurers. "Who is the child, my queen?" A large knight with black hair and a black beard asks. "To Gawain ....... Of course it is Arthur, the son of the king and me. I know there have been rumors about you and Lancelot, but they are just that, rumors...... that you look so much like the king when he was young, what makes you doubt it?" He says somewhat pleadingly with a sad face. "Guinevere,...... sir,......?" "Agravain, are you even you?" Guinevere asks with moist eyes. Agravain was pleased to fulfill her wish, which was a pride of being a knight. Agravain bites his lip and looks away. "Queen Guinevere, Arthur is the name of the king. You and the king have no children. Lancelot tells him with his usual smile. "What?¡¡This child is Arthur ......, son of the king, the king is ambushed ......, the king''s name, his name is ......." Guinevere''s words slowed as if stretched, and as each word spun out of her mouth, her once-glowing skin turned dull, gray, brown, and dried up. Guinevere''s skin dries up and crumbles away. The veil is blown away by the wind and flutters in the air as knights and adventurers look on. "Oh, poor Guinevere! But you''re too early, thank you." Suddenly, the figure of the maid of honor who opened her mouth fades and her outline shakes, and then she is replaced by a beautiful woman in an unfamiliar exotic costume. "Ah, will you tactless people please be quiet?¡¡This is the scene of the fulfillment of my wishes. It''s finally done. The last key is that the woman realizes that this is not the son of the emperor, but that he is the same thing (???????) as the emperor. She is a beautiful woman, but she is not suited to sunlight. The light that had just poured down on the rose garden fades, and it becomes dark around her. On the contrary, her red lips and white skin seem to dazzle the eye. "Beautiful ......" "I''m losing my energy ......!¡¡The voice, no, the smell! "What?" A scent sweeter than a rose wafts from the woman, and the adventurers all wander off together. The word "tactless" seems to refer to the adventurers. "My doll ...... with knights in tow, give the order!" The corners of the woman''s bright red lips twisted into a grin. "Kneel before me, knight." A word, a gentle boy opens his mouth. As soon as those words escape, the knights all fall to their knees. And some adventurers. "Geez!¡¡Just like the old man''s skills!" A red-haired knight swears. Other knights hang their heads, some grit their teeth, some have sweat pouring down their faces. A powerful skill to invoke against those who call themselves knights. Galahad would be better off just looking up and swearing. "That''s why I told him to give it up quickly!" Lancelot, standing alone in the group of knights, throws a cold look at Galahad, who is glaring at the boy with a look of anger. "Old man!¡¡If you knew, explain it to me!" Galahad calls him "old man," but Lancelot looks too young to be even of prime age. "It''s not that I knew. I just expected it." He says it casually, returns his gaze to the front and smiles. "It is against the spirit of knighthood to offer up your sword to fight against skill. Lancelot makes a straight face. "Why, why ....... The most powerful knight I''ve ever wanted is leaking out?¡¡After all these years of assembling such a large number of knights, ....... I was looking forward to embracing the last of the men whose blood was spilled and who were unwilling to kill each other." "Do you like knights?" "Yes. --Why do you ask?¡¡You have no intention ......." It was the boy who spoke, and the woman noticed something unusual in the middle of his words, but it was too late. "What a coincidence. I too wanted to be a knight, not a wizard or a sage. He spoke in a manner unbecoming of a boy, his words and expression unwavering, but the sword in his hand was piercing the woman. "No!¡¡Why, why ......!" The woman, who has been stabbed through the back, still draws her sword, holds her bleeding belly, and moves away. "The blood will not stop, Tamamo. Quickly, return to the body of Fuso you have left behind. But when you get there, I don''t know if your consciousness will be superior to your body and soul. The boy smiles a foolish smile not befitting a child. "You, you, you ......!¡¡When did you take over Nue ......!" The woman glaring at the boy with hatred changes her appearance, her claws grow longer, her mouth parted to her ears, and she shows her fangs. "You thought you were using me, but I took you up on it because it suited me. I made a few additions to your plan and it came true. Come on, or there''ll be blood." "Ku......!" The woman called Tamamo turns her back and flies away in frustration at the boy who teasingly and happily tells her. Her figure gradually changes into a large fox with several long tails. "......Yokusu!" A sealed beast! Which way, which way? "Fuso," he said. The rustling adventurers follow the figure of the fox as it vanishes into the sky, its body motionless. Merlin the Wise? "My left hand. Long time no see, Lancelot. Lancelot smiles and asks, and the boy responds. "What are you trying to do, using Tamamo, hijacking Spider White?" "Young - a little too young, I''m afraid, due to the accelerated schedule. That body has been prolonging its life one after the other, and it''s wearing out. On the other hand, this body will never grow old or get sick. Merlin spreads his arms out as if to say, "Look at this. "A rather prosaic answer for a wise man like Merlin." You will grow old in my time. I would like to ask you if you can give me the same answer then. Merlin with a chuckle. "Are you not going to be my knight?" I already have a master." Lancelot says with a smile like a spring sunbeam. "...... You have given not only your sword, but also your body. You have done what he asked, but you have disobeyed even Arthur. But you''ll be better off without your master. I am more than capable of wielding the power of an emperor better than Arthur, and with my strength and my young body I will subdue even you! Several orbs appear around the smiling Merlin. I have sealed many demons in these pearls, and I will give your master two or three of the most powerful ones!¡¡The knights present here are also to disappear. No more weaklings!¡¡Now, go!" The light from the treasured pearls flies everywhere, but most of it falls close enough to reveal the demons. "I can move ......!" Looks like the knight is still out there! Protect!" The influence of the jade plant seems to have worn off, and the adventurers begin to fight. The demons target those who are in a party with the knights. A battle with the demons occurs among the group of adventurers. Hearing the noise, the knights groan as they try to stand up, their red faces shaking. "Homura (Lengard)......!¡¡d*mn!" Galahad shouts and stands up. "Well, I guess I''ll get out of this skill that rules the knights. You know, you were always bad for a knight..." Merlin looks at Galahad with one eyebrow raised. "Shut up!¡¡You old man, Homura!" Don''t panic. We''ll be right there. Before Lancelot can finish, a jewel floating around Merlin cracks open. "What?¡¡I sent Vyvr, the sub-dragon of poison, the evil forest spirit Ai, the white Zlatlok who protected the treasures of Paradise and caused them to collapse!¡¡The poisonous sub-dragon Vweevre was defeated in an instant?¡¡How did you--" While Merlin was shouting in panic, the other two pearls also flew off. "What happened! A panicked Merlin waved his hand toward the sky as if to wipe something off, and a huge image appeared in the sky. In the image, a man with long hair and a white robe stands alone, something bloody in his arms. The man in the image turns around and looks up at the viewer, as if he has noticed the viewer''s eyes on him from far away. Many of them felt that their gaze met the gaze hidden by the mask. The Lord has seen us. Now, the title of Arbiter will open the way. It is a rare opportunity to fight alongside the Lord, and Merlin must do his best. Lancelot tells him happily. 326 - - 324. Joining and Understanding the Situation Even if we head in the direction they are going now, we will not make it in time. I had expected to find either Spider or Tamamo in this tower, but I was wrong about both of them. I did not expect to find even Tamamo, let alone Spider. Since Kuzunoha has the title of "sealed beast," I had expected that Kuzunoha would be strengthened instead of getting a new Tamamo by defeating Tamamo. Specifically, I was hoping for more tails. Although he had an external body, he could ask Ukon to help him get in and out of Fuso''s Yin-kai, and he was not very happy with the ema (votive picture tablet) that he received as a drop prize. "I am Veeble, the poisonous sub-dragon!¡¡The power of madness given to me by Master Merlin, the strongest and the most ......!" As I was looking around for a treasure chest, a loud voice suddenly rang out, and a big one jumped in through a hole in the wall half-collapsed from the battle--three thumps before it came. No, wait. There were two more behind me, but they fell before I could properly recognize them. While I was staring blankly at the sky, I heard a heavy thud from below, and the tower shook. When the shaking stops, the light particles that demons leave behind when they disappear rise up and disappear into the sky. I have obtained the title of "The First Solo Defeater," "The One Who Calms the Madness. I got the reward for my first solo defeat, "Dokkarambu". Wizard Merlin''s wiles < was defeated for the first time solo. This information will remain confidential. I got 5 fangs of Veevre, the sub-dragon of madness and poison. I have obtained the skin of Vyvr, the sub-dragon of madness and poison x 5. I got a pair of gloves of Vweevr, the sub-dragon of madness and poison. I got the magic stone of Vyvr, the sub-dragon of madness and poison. I got the black opal x10. I got the ring of poison +6. I got the poison claws of Vweevre, the sub-dragon of madness and poison. I got the title of "The First Solo Defeat [The One Who Controls Runaway]. I got the reward for my first solo defeat, . First solo defeat of Merlin the Wizard''s wiles<>. This information will remain confidential. I got the hair x5 of the evil forest spirit Ai. I got the magic cloth x5 of the evil forest spirit Eye of Madness. I got the belt of the spirit eye of the evil forest. I got the magic stone of the spirit eye of the evil forest. I got the garnet of the spirit x 10. I got the ring of levitation. . I got the title of "First Solo Defeater. I got the reward for my first solo defeat, . The Wizard Merlin''s Schemes < was defeated for the first time solo. This information will remain confidential. We have obtained 5 x 5 of the finest meat of Zlatlok the White. I got the skin of Zlatlok the White x5. I got the bracelet of Zlatlok the White. I got the magic stone of Zlatlok the White. I have obtained x10 gold of the magical beast. I got the ring of power +6. I got the horns of Zlatlok the White. Superfine Meat . I didn''t have time to see exactly what kind of monster it was, but it was a very fine piece of meat. Since Veeble has killed a non-maniacal individual in the labyrinth, Zlatlok must be somewhere around here. Meat means that they must be in the food route as well. ......¡¡Oh, but I think the madness ranks higher. --Merlin, we''ve lost a very dear man. The walls of the tower are chipping and cracking again. It would be strange if the whole tower had already collapsed, but it seems that it will not collapse any further. "Pigyaku!" Bahamut is floating in front of the building, looking very pleased with himself. > Aldvarne''s hair bristles at White''s words. Aldvaan is something like the equivalent of a guardian beast. He puts himself on a pedestal. And I agree with White that one should not talk about the mightiest dragon in front of Bahamut. Bahamut is faster and stronger. I saw something black flying by my side too. I hold Bahamut who jumped into my chest covered with blood and check his wound. This time all the blood seems to be from the return of blood and the wound does not seem to be open. When I tried to clean up the wounds with "life magic", I felt something was watching me. But all you can see around you is the shell of Merlin, who is sitting down, muttering and swaying slowly and loudly. The presence is from somewhere else - from the sky? I look up at the sky from a large collapsed wall where the wind blows in. The title "He who sees signs" allows the user to trace backwards and see when being probed by a "sign-sensing" system. When he looked up at the sky, he saw a boy. What is that? Next I saw a cloak with a familiar bright blue lining, then red hair, then a knight kneeling. Only Cal and Galahad stood up and looked at me, which made them stand out. Why is there no group behavior? Galahad is pointing his sword at the boy, so the boy is an enemy. Let''s give him a shot anyway. One of the effects of "He who sees signs" is that he can strike a blow to those who are watching him if he wishes. Something like a bird or an air bullet is seen to wound the boy on the cheek, and then the sight disappears. But before it disappears, an adventurer in battle is seen! --The Arbitrator is available!¡¡The [Arbitrator] is the ability to fly to the scene of a recognized battle. I didn''t hear a sound, but I had a perfect view!¡¡I recognized him! Hurry up and clean up Bahamut and fly to the battle site. I''m sure I didn''t forget anything! Homura: I thought it had already started!¡¡Just in time! Ochazuke: Hey, stop that pathetic first voice! Peter: That was the coolest performance I''ve ever seen! Leo : Wahahaha! Kikuhime: Don''t worry, it''s safe for those who can''t hear the clan conversation. Shin : Don''t ever talk like that! Homura: That''s terrible! Kikuhime: For the sake of everyone''s happiness! Now that we are on the same field, we can have a clan conversation. Ochazuke: Didn''t you go to the demon just now? Homura: Yeah, we got the best meat, we''ll grill it later. Shin : Oh!¡¡Let''s grill, let''s grill Leo : Rice! Peter: www. Ochazuke: stop skipping the process before the spoils of war. Homura: How''s the war going now? Ochazuke: That shorty boy there just turned out to be Merlin''s Spider. A demon similar to the one that went to Homura''s place has been released, and they are fighting. Was Merlin in the tower a fake too?¡¡Oh my god!¡¡No, that''s the real body, and this one has taken over the ùw. The Spider is something indefinite, something elusive, something without a subject, a monster that changes its appearance depending on what it sees. Was it able to take over because it has no subject?¡¡Is the boy''s appearance a hobby of Merlin''s? Peter: Me and Ochazuke are fighting close to a group of knights. Leo : We''re separated!¡¡He''s doing it with strangers! Shin : I''m with Gil. Kikuhime: I was solo, but Roy picked me up. It seems like a lot of work when there are so many people. The big line we had during the event was also a melee. Ochazuke: Tamamo was there, but he was stabbed by Merlin and flew to Fuso. Kikuhime : Tamamo was left out. Is she supposed to be assimilated with Kuzunoha? But since I''ve taken her out... She''s going to be with that fox Kuzunoha left behind... My fluffy fluffy fluffy fluffy fluffy fluffy fluffy fluffy fluffy fluffy fluffy fluffy fluffy fluffy fluffy fluffy fluffy ......!¡¡Oy! Homura: What''s with all the fuss about the knights and most of them not taking part in the battle?¡¡Skipping work? Peter: I was kneeling on my knees with Merlin''s skills just now. Ochazuke: Someone put a blow and disabled the skill. ...... I have a feeling I missed a scene that was so exciting!¡¡But that''s OK, I''d given up on the battle earlier. Ochazuke: A good scene, if you only look at the picture. Peter: On top of the resurrected knights, his robe and hair fluttering in the air, he''s facing Merlin, if only for looks. Leo : Noooooo!¡¡Take that, my super move! Kikuhime: It''s hard to hold back my laughter at Roy and the others'' rave reviews. Ochazuke: Abdominal muscles put to the test Leo is misdirecting lines into clan conversations that should have been broadcast to the party or others. Now that I have a general idea of what''s going on, what am I supposed to do? Do I just run into the boy Merlin and start fighting?¡¡In the meantime, we have to deal with the knights. It''s dangerous to be so close to where the demons are running rampant. "How did you ...... do that? Oh, Merlin, the boy just said something. If we start fighting, will the rest of the knights take the battle seriously? "Well, they''ll drag us right out of there." Merlin is motivated to do so, or rather, he exerts his [high energy]. Then, counter with [awe]. "d*mn ......, you''re so cocky!" The raid boss, a stone, staggered a bit and didn''t seem to be affected. "Lord, your orders." Cal kneels down with a smile. What are you doing in the presence of the enemy? "Take them down." Get on with the fight. ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ...increase... Title [He who calms the madness] [He who controls runaway [He who appeases chaos] [He who appeases confusion ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ 327 - - 325. Large-Scale War, Rage War "I am at your service." Cal responds shortly and stands up, removing his cloak. At the same time, he invites us to a party. I accept and join Cal''s party. Since dealing with knights and nobles is troublesome, I have agreed that Cal will remain the leader when I am around. He said that some of Cal''s skills and titles are more convenient for him to be the leader when he is in a party or alliance with knights, and it is convenient. "Unite!" With the knights in the background, Cal points at Merlin with his sword and shouts. Merlin at the point of the sword is a boy with long, slicked-back blond hair. This is the boy everyone saw in the trap dungeon. I wonder if what I am seeing now is due to Merlin''s takeover, as Ochazuke said. But why is he not an old man, a gorilla, or an owl? Is it a hobby?¡¡Is it a hobby?¡¡Peter measures?¡¡Will this grow up to be a gorilla?¡¡No, he was initially a prince, wasn''t he?¡¡So he looks like an emperor I don''t know. "The former cornerstone of the empire, now defeated by his own age, has turned against the empire and the world!" Merlin, the great wizard, has fallen, now assimilated with the beast of the seal! "The enemy is not the state!¡¡The enemy is a White White Man who deceives! In between the words, the knights clang their swords and spears against the earth. "Defeat them!" A low, earth-shaking overlap of many voices. "Laugh!¡¡Fools who point their swords at the emperor!" Merlin, the boy with a twisted smile, yells out a howl, and the field changes. It spread out in a circle with Merlin at its center. The field remains the same, but the distance from Merlin, who was close by, is reduced, and the area becomes dimmer. A thin haze surrounds Merlin, and sometimes Merlin''s image is reflected in a part of the haze, as if in a vision. As the knights begin to move in unison, a new monster is unleashed, blocking their way. The various demons, ranging from humanoid creatures to large plants, are all reinforced, and they are all releasing their skills from the very first move. "Spread out and divide!¡¡How dare you lead your troops before the Emperor!¡¡[Military line disengaged]!" A crown effect appears and disappears on Merlin''s head. Though he is a small boy, his voice echoes throughout the battlefield. "What?¡¡The alliance has been canceled! Someone cries out from below. It''s true, it''s just the party. The unexpected situation causes the battle lines of the knights, which had been well aligned until a moment ago, to collapse, and a melee ensues. Cal does not seem to be panicked, perhaps he had anticipated this, or perhaps he had not counted on the party of knights who had originally formed the alliance. The work is still the same, just the skills and communication methods for alliances are no longer available. < Galahad smacks himself roughly on the side of the head. His steps are shallower than usual, but he still manages to aim at the soft spot of the monster coming toward him, slaughtering it without fail. Galahad is dressed in a black knight''s outfit with some pieces of armor, not fully equipped but more knightly than usual. Cal switches to party conversation. The sounds of battle make it difficult to hear the surrounding conversation. > Galahad swings his sword at the enemy in front of him. Cal is always very hard on Galahad. But perhaps it is his true feelings of affection, for others he either smiles and softly tells them off or quickly cuts them off. > Eagle says regretfully as he draws his sword. The eagle is equipped as a <, wearing a long back jacket over his armor, cinched at the waist with a belt. When Kal met Dur and the others in the garden, he tried to stand up and wobbled. Galahad''s energy level is decreasing rapidly as well. I''m sorry, I''m sorry. I guess you didn''t sit down to listen to the principal''s long talk, but you didn''t sit down to listen to the principal''s talk. <>>> The at level 35 also has the effect of restoring energy. It is different from that of level 25, it is different! <> Galahad''s movements visibly change. The more dynamic way of fighting is more pleasant to watch, just like Galahad. > Camilla picks up an arrow and shoots it through the mouth of a demon that leaps at a nearby knight. Camilla is dressed in a mermaid-line dress of deep red with black. The wide open back dazzles in white. . With a single stroke of his sword, he cuts off the monster that leaps at him, and steps toward Merlin. His cloak flutters, as if he is not going to run and charge. The kneeling technique that Merlin used must be of the same type as the one Cal used on Agravain and the others on his way to Fuso. It''s a hard name to remember, but I remembered it when I repeated it so as not to say "wig" by mistake, Agravain. Gawain at the bunny girl''s place--his mustache is now a mustache thanks to Leo. For whatever reason, Cal must have some certainty. --I wonder if he has the exact same skills as Cal? I know you are busy, but I got a lot of explanations back. I see... Verus. That makes a lot of sense. The roses have been trampled to pieces, or even dug up by the demons coming from the ground, leaving holes in the ground. The wall separating the rose garden from the others is useless, and demons five times the size of a man strike the adventurers, wreaking havoc. They are a mixture of small fry and bosses. This is no time for observation. Let''s get to work! HOMURA: --oh. I had a line I wanted to say at the start of the battle with the knights. I wanted to say it when Cal and Galahad were on either side of me. This was my chance and I missed it. Kikuhime: Why is that? Homura: Cal, Gala, do it and be done with it! Peter: www. Homura: You had your chance to say it. Ochazuke: Please stop. If you blow it out of the blue, you''re a freak. Kikuhime: You must have something against us! Leo : Wahahaha!¡¡Hee!¡¡It''s decreasing, it''s decreasing! Ochazuke: Ah!¡¡Peter, the mask is not fair! Peter: This is essential equipment for secret police, and is a recognition blocking device. Homura: Since when is it required ...... Kikuhime : Homura, stop dropping knights to the funny man! Shin is not participating in the clan conversation in the Flame King''s party, as if he doesn''t want to leak the clan conversation. Leo is not in the conversation as usual. While he is talking, he finishes distributing defense by [Black Glow] and speed by [Time Magic] < to the party. In the meantime, he is cutting down two flying enemies that are coming toward him. When I killed the first one, I panicked that I might hit the knight below, but just before I hit him, he shattered as a particle of light. Thank goodness. I am sad that the black and white have returned, but I have taken them around with me so much that I can''t help it. Bahamut is now sitting quietly in the blue gem in his chest. Peter: Hmm. There''s always a demon in the way and I can''t get close enough to Merlin. Ochazuke: Even if you get close to him, he''ll be blown away before he can enter the haze...there must be a condition for this! Homura: Our clerk is slashing at you, isn''t he? However, no damage has been done to Marlin. A light, round, ball of air, not unlike a soap bubble, clings to the swords of Kal, Galahad, and the others, blocking their attacks on Merlin. When cut, it spreads like a puff of smoke, and after a while it reverts back to a sphere and clings to them. Kikuhime: Is it necessary to have a knight? Ochazuke: Uh-uh, no. The beard at the rabbit girl''s place had the same problem. Homura: What''s that? "Go crazy!¡¡Bark!¡¡Be disturbed!¡¡Sleep!¡¡Rampage!¡¡What you see is the truth!¡¡Your enemy is your friend in front of you!" Raising his hand and pointing forward, Merlin shouts in a booming voice, and the place is thrown into turmoil. The adventurers in the rear suddenly collapse, fighting each other, not dodging the demons'' attacks, and attacking those nearby. Leo : Aaahhh!¡¡That was close! Kikuhime : I was asleep when he hit me and woke me up! Peter: Ouch. Sleep seems to return to sanity after an attack, but if you take a bad one, you die! Ochazuke: Thanks for the medicine > Peter Peter: If a person who is hit by sleep is attacked and comes to his senses, does this restore the others? Kikuhime: I have all kinds of medicines thanks to Homura, but I need more, don''t you? Ochazuke: You can use , , or any other magic that restores abnormalities, so you have to make the healer sane first! It seems that Merlin was right, and that he had been affected by the insanity, confusion, and sleep. What''s with the barking and raging?¡¡Either way, it''s something I can''t control. But still, as expected of a raid boss, the effects of his skills are far-reaching! Peter: It''s a big mess, isn''t it? Kikuhime: The fact that there are so many of them is becoming a curse. Ochazuke: The first Tamamo, the resistance to the event''s inclination is not perfect, but I had time to splash holy water on it, so from now on, you want me to take some of the resistance seriously, I understand. Peter: Skill points are tight. Kikuhime: I heard that many people didn''t do the Fox of the Isle event in the first place. Homura: Scared of fighting each other! In an event like this, where many people participate, individual preparation varies. Roy and the others seem to help those who are unprepared as long as they are not too unprepared, but I would stay away from them. "Lady Guinevere, ......!" "Your Majesty ......" "Bollocks. You''re supposed to be dead. ...... There''s no friendly fire, but the knights are rustling. "The Spider transforms itself into whatever it wishes!¡¡Now desire and seek your enemy! Cal''s voice echoes around us. Is that it? Do the knights see the demon as someone important? What a problem... Kikuhime: It''s knights versus adventurers! Ochazuke: As expected, all the knights at Homura''s place are sane Peter: It''s like a hallucinogenic combo of confusion and thought deprivation, but it''s not working at all. Kikuhime: You look so dashing, but you just ruined it with Kalu and Gala! Homura: Oh. I can quell the madness, the outburst, and the confusion within the range of alliance with the title. Ochazuke: Hey! Peter: www. There are more of them. Homura: What''s the title I got from the three bosses I just came from? I just got them. 328 - - You Cant Choose a Title > Merlin says the boy looks just like the Emperor when he was a child. According to the story of the Vizier of Sadiras, the emperor is sick in bed, either with the same curse or with poison. The vizier I have in mind is in the form of a cat, but in this battle, he has allowed human transport to be transferred from the isle, and he is working with the bearded knights to ensure that the military march goes smoothly. Galahad replies. I wonder how it feels to be unable to protect those you served. But now you have one more reason to hesitate in your attack. As usual, all but Galahad and his men are blocked from Merlin''s field of battle. And now Merlin''s attacks are mainly scattering mental attacks and strengthening the demons, leaving his surroundings to the black haze. He distributes <> and <> in combination with <> to the knights who have started fighting each other around him, and checks on the situation. Below them, the knights are coming to grips with each other. I don''t know which of them are Galahad''s acquaintances, so I work from a place close to Galahad and the others. Have we brought all within visual range back to their senses? It is convenient to see a wide area from afloat. I don''t know about adventurers, they''re far away. If you can''t manage it, go back to death. Pay the transfer fee and run the marathon! Amidst the clamor of the knights fighting the attacking demons and keeping out of Merlin''s field, Cal moves forward in no particular hurry, dealing with the demons as he goes. Sometimes he does something on the ground with the tip of his sword. Galahad, Eagle, and Camilla are stepping into Merlin''s territory, but they are able to defeat the demons that sometimes attack them without danger, and somehow they are brought back to the edge when they are just one step away from getting in close. Is there a field of black haze moving through the space? <<> Galahad is uncomfortable with the black haze clinging to his body, and he uses his sword to dispel it. < . > <> > No, because Eagle says he''s the wise man of the forest. . Cal''s idyllic voice. > Galahad cuts down the demon a little roughly. <> Camilla and Eagle look puzzled. <>. <> Galahad runs into a demon of the same color as the ball that shines in front of Merlin. <> Merlin started spreading the anomalies again. Ochazuke: Thanks. Peter: Atta boy!¡¡Thank you www. After curing Ochazuke for the time being, Ochazuke hits Peter. This time Peter sleeps. > As we move on to the task of healing the knights, Cal comes in with some harsh words in a calm voice. It is true that it is a hassle to heal them if they are randomly applying anomalies. But this, at first, seems to be because Galahad has defeated the "right" answer. > Galahad shouts. For a moment. Galahad, Cal didn''t grab your head, did he?¡¡We''re in the middle of a battle. I can''t stand the pause, and I shake the subject. < Camilla''s answer. Well, it is true that unlike players, residents'' lives are at stake, and since they are standing on the battlefield as knights, they should have various kinds of medicines ready. You must have known that Merlin was on the enemy side, and you should have at least prepared a medicine that improves the resistance to magical abnormalities. I hope he has at least taken some medicine that improves his resistance to magic. <> Oatmeal is on the table. > Galahad says while slaughtering a small demon. That''s not me, is it?¡¡You mean Cal, right? << Eagle says. When you say it like that, there is a mystery that it doesn''t take me. I was immune to charm and confusion even before I got this confusion resistance. <>. I also feel a little bad that I''m in the middle of a project, and that I''m starting it when no adventurers are attached to it. < > <> <<> Galahad and Kal began to argue without tension. . Camilla and Eagle are handling it seriously. Ochazuke: Homura not start yet? Homura: I''m in the middle of the meeting, so I thought I''d start when someone who has been there since the beginning arrives. But Galahad and the others are almost here, so I''ll start soon. But I''m afraid of reflection. Peter: Reflections of skill or magic?¡¡It certainly sounds like it could be. Homura: As expected, we don''t have enough medicine to revive this many people. Ochazuke: Wait. What are you talking about? Peter: keep it a single skill, wow. HOMRA: Single-handedly, together. If I use a big move and get hit by a reflection, I''m sure I''ll die. And if I die, I''ll be hit by a meteor twice as much as ours. The star of the end. In addition, we do not consider the enhancement of [unsealing] and so on at the time of losing a battle. Shin: Congratulations on becoming a genocider! Peter: Massacre Ochazuke: that spec is flawed Peter: We''ll just have to ask the strongest knight to do his best to keep Homura from dying. Ochazuke: How can someone who is willing to die and rush in be so equipped, stupid? Homura: I want you to let me choose the title. No, really. If I can''t choose, but am free to discard it, I''ll delete [Tilt] immediately. Oh, leave [The Last Star] as it is, since it''s useful for soloing. I''m almost certain to revive him at least once. Peter: There are a certain number of people who would gladly die from Homura''s skill. Homura: What''s with that pervert? Kikuhime : After defeating the big demon over here, I got the skill to resist confusion! Peter: You''re fast! Kikuhime: We''re doing it in two parties with a rescue team. Ochazuke: I see Roy''s place is full of them. Peter: You also have the incense burner for storing souls, but you can''t get in, right? Ochazuke: I have, I have! Peter: So, do I have to defeat the boss-like thing over there and get a title or skill? Ochazuke: Okay, let''s go undercover somewhere. Shin : This side is empty. I mean, I hit a big one and I''m struggling. Ochazuke: I''m coming, I''m coming Peter: Who has Elias?¡¡I''m solo, so invite me if you want~w Ochazuke: I''m not going to leave you hurting, miss. Peter: awww. Ochazuke: Now I''m picking up knights and it''s a party of two! Shin : Quick pick-up! Homura: How can you say such an embarrassing line ...... Peter: If we join the one without knights, is it flag-worthy? Kikuhime : Leo is letting the red raccoon run wild. ...... Peter: Let''s give up on Leo now. Oatmeal: If you think it''s quiet: ....... Leave it alone . Peter and Ochazuke, you were soloing while having a clan conversation. As usual. For some reason, Peter won''t come in unless there are at least three people in the party. I guess it''s because his skill set is more efficient when soloing. Thinking calmly, it would be right not to have a team of Ochazuke, a holy priest, and Peter, a ninja, because Ochazuke, who cannot hide, would be concentrated by the attacks of enemies caught by Peter. And Ochazuke, you work fast. Roy''s clan has a large number of members, and several parties are participating. The clan of the Flame Kings has six members, but this time, Elias and the knights are in the mix, and the clan is divided into two parties. Elias and his knights, Gil the fighter, Gil the warrior, the flame kings of warriors and others. The knight is the shield and Elias is the healer throwing medicine. Shin is in the mix, so there are five in the Flame King''s place. The rest are Haruna and Koreto, Daichi and Krull. The clan conversation has quieted down, as if they had switched to a party conversation after they had safely joined the party. The conversation was a little bit different from each other: "going crazy" was an uncontrollable attack with lowered defense, "runaway" was running while destroying things in front of me, "confusion" was hitting me with physical weapons anyway, "delirium" was shooting magic wildly, and so on. Some of them can be cured by hitting, while others can only be cured by magic or medicine. This time, there are eight different kinds of abnormalities, according to the color of the demon. There is a hint that they are trying to make the confusion skills have a lot of kinds so that they can''t deal with all of them. I took three of them, but I think there are eight different titles. There are a lot of big ones, but they are probably all lumped together in the same family of demons, and the first one to get in wins. 329 - - 327.vs鵺 "Oh, thank God." The unknown knight, who has recovered appropriately, thanks the demons and gets tangled up with them again. Hey! I put <<> in to cover him. The demons on the knight''s side are small, so you probably don''t have to worry about them. The problem is the boss class, the ones that are bouncing around on the adventurers'' side in the rear. Some parties are guiding them away from the knights, but there are bosses who have entered into the knight''s side. If I mess with the demons, I don''t know what will happen to the reward for defeating them. I don''t want to do anything that will cost me too much. It''s also a problem that I don''t know which knight is working with the gentiles. The beard was in the front and the rabbit girl was not, so it is possible that they are working together but not together. ELIAS: Sorry to disturb you. The party is now in alliance and Elias greets them. In an alliance, the leader of each party basically speaks, and the other members can listen but are limited in what they can say. Some people seem to enjoy the chaos of large-group conversations by removing the restrictions on speaking rights. >. Situation report from Cal. < <> I wonder if the piece of a man of mystery is the boss running rampant in the area, and answer to Kal. > << I''m really glad I made it. Peter: Here you go, W. Sin: Yay! Clan conversation gets noisy again. Ochazuke is still fighting. Homura: You''re early! Peter: This is me, Shin, the Flame King, Gil, Elias, and the knight. The knight is overprotective of Elias, and he''s taking unnecessary damage from the evil ......, but everyone else is good. Homura: Paraphrased, but terrible. Shin: Until Peter came in, we were on the edge of a river of dice, giving our opponents no time to heal! From the looks of the two of them, they should have recovered the Flame King in time, but they had to recover the knight as well for nothing?¡¡In the meantime, the demons are recovering. Homura: I thought Roy and the others would be faster, but Peter and the others were first. Peter: Roy and the others saved people on the way. Homura: You have a difficult personality. Shin: We saved the people, too. Peter: It might be related to the event. If it is not related, I suspect we abandon it. Roy: I''ll get out of your way! Rumor has it that Roy is the leader of the party. Daichi : Excuse me, sir. Dawn : I''ll get out of your way. Next was Daichi, followed by the party that included Ochazuke and the knight who was picked up by Retsuhi''s place, then Kronos'' Dawn''s party. Ochazuke: Did you make it in time? Shin : Oh! Homura: Kikuhime is at the dawn. Kikuhime: You are, aren''t you? Homura: Are there any other parties that might be in the alliance? Peter: The saints and their party? Ochazuke: I don''t think anyone has an incense burner to begin with. Shin : I went to Sadiras just before, but I lost and I don''t have it! Kikuhime : I didn''t want to enter because I didn''t have it either, but the other members of Kronos said they would get it on their own.¡¡I was a little surprised to find out that they were not interested in me. Shin : Kronos is very serious, isn''t he? Kronos, a clan led by Roy and his friends, is a large group. Clans tend to rely on high-level players and low-level members, but it is said that many members of Kronos try to complete events by themselves, probably because of Roy''s personality. Ochazuke: I guess most of the participants don''t have incense burners.¡¡I have a theory that this event happened earlier than expected. Peter: indiscriminate watering of knights in the temple is not a legitimate event by any stretch of the imagination. It''s because of the personalities of His Eminence Kyle and Ekaterina. Several times I saw a knight being chased around by a priest with a bucket of water in the temple where he had moved. It seems that the party that has come to the party has taken their medicine and finished their preparations. The party steps into the black haze. I cast level 5 Illusion Magic. Effectively, it lowers the hit points of enemy attacks and raises the evasion rate of your allies. Illusion magic affects the whole alliance, but <> is subtle at the moment, since the more enemies there are, the thicker the fog becomes and the more it hides the allies. There are many demons, but a party outside the Alliance is in the rear and is seen as hostile. <<>>> White petals, just as the name suggests, fall on the knight''s battlefield. The effect is a slight but continuous recovery. > was recovering HP and MP from all the opponents with the petals of white roses and red roses, but her level was low, so she could not heal the opponent''s HP and MP. It does not damage HP. It is only a slight recovery, but it is continuous, so I think it is useful in some way. Now I have a chance to give him [Illusion Magic], so I''m going to keep firing it as long as my MP lasts. Roy : Thank you! ELIAS: I appreciate it. Daichi : Thank you, sir. Dawn : I''m working! Voices of appreciation from each leader. Kikuhime : Thank you. Peter: Thank you. Fancy W as always. Homura: This is the only magic in the alliance. Ochazuke: I don''t think there are many people who have alliance skills. Shin : EP, EP recovery please! Homura: There is no such thing! Peter: you have sword skills, right? Homura: Ah. Yes, yes. The Merlin boy is creating demons, but Galahad and the others are taking care of them, so there aren''t enough of them to use [Gekka Mochizuki]. . He holds up his sword, selects a demon that he thinks he can defeat, and fires his skill at it. As soon as it reaches the demon, a lot of red leaves fly up. They blow up above our heads and slowly fall from the red sky. To people. To the ground. On things. When they hit a demon, they burst into small flames and burn, and when they hit something else, they lose their color and fade away. A sword skill he acquired from Sakon on his way to Fuso. The effect is to inflict damage on the enemy and to make allies, including himself, m! Continuous recovery. It is also a very small amount, but it will save you a little money. The color of the sword is a bit gaudy, but I don''t mind. Ochazuke: I feel sorry for the forgotten strong skill, so I''ll take it. Homura: I won''t do it! Shin : E! Not E!!!!!!! Kikuhime : Shut up, Uncle! Ochazuke: By the way, Haruna, I''m impressed how you can cast a spell without making a mistake when you''re looking at Lengard-sama. Peter: You combine a lot of fine magic. It''s not chanting, but selecting spells by opening multiple windows, it looks like you''re doing some kind of calculation. Shin : Over here, when Homura does something, the Flame King behaves suspiciously. Kikuhime: I suggest you think he''s someone else when he''s dressed like that. Homura: What a terrible idea! Shin has a lot of EP skills due to his profession. Fighting attack combos increase in attack power the more they are connected, so bosses and other enemies with a lot of HP are a good time for fighters to show off their fighting skills. I''ll get started on this one in earnest. Cal''s voice came back to me sounding well-prepared, but I had no intention of taking any risks. <<> of the life magic. > < Galahad said in an indescribable voice, "Safety first. He moves close above Merlin''s head, and produces from his hand. The glass of water leaves my hand, breaks into dewdrops in mid-air, and falls on Merlin. "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! The boy Merlin looks up and lets out a long scream - no, a roar - that seems to reach the sky. His eyes widen, his mouth opens wide, and a black haze gushes out from his mouth, mixing with the surrounding haze and whirling up the debris in a sprawling, swirling mass. > > Galahad and the others in the haze shouted, but before they could speak, an effect that looked like a combination of a shield and a feather appeared, indicating that no damage had been done. The effect also appeared at my feet, scattering a black haze, and of course the debris that rolled up was deflected and no damage was done. I thought that the shield must be Cal''s skill, and I looked at him. A black haze breaks from Cal''s position, and behind him is a windless zone. But his cape is still fluttering. Galahad''s unusual black knightly gear is cool, but he is now buried in the blackness around him. Eagle and Camilla are more conspicuous. Well, Cal''s cool face is a guess from the angle. White armor, white cape, pale blond hair. The blue lining of the fluttering cloak is vivid to the eye. The top of his head is also full. --Agravaine, sorry for the gale. < <<< It''s okay, it''s okay, it''s okay! >> . Each member of the party responds with a few words. > The overflowing haze forms four clumps, forming something with mass. From each of the two large masses peeks the black beast Ishvaan, and from the smaller mass, the flask effect shatters Alice, but the next thing to appear is the black armor of Bahamut. > Galahad screams. And then, coiling around the remaining haze and revealing obsidian-like scales that reflect the sunlight in a whirlpool, the winged serpent Krulkan appears in the center. What kind of a selection is this? Isn''t the armor too surreal? 330 - - What to Look at 328. < . > Asha''s distant voice echoes, and the incarnation appears for a last moment, points at the White White White, and disappears. Water and fire?¡¡It may simply be a relationship with the gods, not with humans. Alliance Conversation Elias: Asha, god of fire? Roy: Oh, yes!¡¡The beast of the seal will be the gods! Daichi: If you win, your blessing is assured! Dawn : Hey, two Ishburns? ELIAS: The Flame King says armor is worse. Roy: ...... Let''s go for it! Hey, is this everyone''s first time to fight a sealed beast? Peter: This is Ochazuke: What''s with this lineup?¡¡Why two guardian beasts, a little girl and a big snake? Homura: why the armor ...... Chrysanthemum Princess: Surreal, isn''t it? Shin: The little girl in the black, is she related to Peter? Peter: Woah, wow, I can''t deny it. Homura: Pedophile indeed! Peter: No, W. Homura is just as guilty! Ochazuke: What is this? Peter: Isn''t this a series of raid bosses that each party member has fought? w Alice is probably the highest level I''ve fought . Homura: Wait a minute. So Krulkan is stronger than Alice? I''m shocked. Kulkan''s staff, which had been floating diagonally to the right behind him, suddenly moves and the top part twists to reveal Kulkan''s face. Don''t be shy in battle. Homura: It''s a black armor, Bahamut, can we beat him? ...... Ochazuke: The owner is responsible for it. Kikuhime: The Flame Kings, only because they were forced to take on the raid bosses as a lone party. ...... Shin: Poor thing. Homura: I got stuck with Bahamut solo. Luckily it wasn''t a battle. Peter: Awww! Ha! Homura: Could it be that the worst was the Fluffy Five! Ochazuke: What if nothing, that was the premise at first. And it''s like a weakened stage. Shin: If you haven''t done it, you''re a bird in the sea. Kikuhime: It''s going to be weak either way! Peter: If I get into a battle with Homura, I''ll call in the black heavens. Kikuhime: I''ll call Shirayuki too! Homura: Stop, stop, stop. Shin: Gahaha!¡¡Unwinnable! While talking in the clan, the changes continued, with armor spreading a black feather-like cloak and invoking awe, and Alice making flowers fall, each with their own pretensions. During this time, we cannot take any action. It''s like a movie of the boss''s appearance. > <<< Will our attacks get through? >> <> I am silenced by Camilla''s question. <> Galahad says the same thing as Ochazuke, but I am not at all sure. <. The sound of three voices as if they had given up. Ochazuke: Oh, I can see a pile of sills in the snake''s toguro! Chrysanthemum Princess: Only a hallucination?¡¡Oh, sake! Shin: The lady with the G (gold) in the casino! Peter: www. Homura: What is it? I looked over, but there was nothing there. The "Eye of Verus" seems to be activated.¡¡--I''m the only one who misses you. "You outsider, you know your place!¡¡Flow! [Meteor]!¡¡Repent! The Sword of Absolution!" Whoa!¡¡Here comes the Verus sword that doesn''t look like a replica!¡¡And he''s double skilled! The graceful sword with a thin, shiny blade, said to have been given to him by Fal, the water god, is not in Kal''s hand. In its place is a flashy version of the Eagle''s replica, shining silver and white. Meteors mercilessly shower a small area, and a huge white blade falls in the middle of it. "It''s unpleasant," says Eagle. Let Verus, God of Light, be the judge! [Sword of absolution]" Without a moment''s pause, Eagle unleashes the same skill. The power of the skill seems to be a little lower than that of the other, perhaps due to the difference in weapons, but the light is straight and true to Eagle''s character. "Oh, my God!¡¡Let Verus, the hidden god of light, be the judge!¡¡[Arrow of Absolution]!" Then Camilla''s skills poured down like chasing meteors. "I will not let you take my form!¡¡Verus!¡¡The great sword of absolution! The last one is Galahad. There is a slight pause between the activation of the great sword skill and the swinging down of the sword. <> Galahad''s huge sword, which he lowers, is identical to mine. Mine takes less time to swing than Galahad''s, and it strikes twice. The white blur of his blade damages me twice, once at the beginning and once at the end. The white gold is etched into the thin black haze of the Spider''s stage. Since this is a "renunciation" contest, I decided to take advantage of it. Black armor that breaks and turns into grains of light. The others have also been reduced a lot. The other players also release their skills when their H! The black armor has a ridiculously high defense, but it is not so strong. is low, I think I could beat it. In the arena, he was dying, but he was still in his original form, spitting his breath and losing more blood. But even though he is covered with wounds, there are few skills that can break through the defense of Bahamut. Especially if it is Bahamut now. "I offer myself to the Lord, my allegiance! [Shield of firm earth]! [Shield of ice wedge]!" Cal''s [Shield of Firm Ground] is for parties and [Shield of Ice Wedge] is for raids. The one for raid is more flashy, but less effective in a wider range. Even so, it protects them from up to two attacks. The attack is aided by a sealed beast, a guardian beast, and Alice''s . Even though it requires some preparation and items at first, it is still a very strong defense. The best thing about it is that it looks good. And the response was quicker than I could think of to activate my skills. Each party''s healer is working on recovery magic, and I''m working on [Illusion Magic]. Level 1<>, the effect range of normal range skills and magic is increased according to the number of enemies. Level 5<>, the more enemies you have, the thicker the fog becomes and the more it hides your allies. Effectively, it lowers the hit points of enemy attacks and increases the evasion rate of allies. Although the number of enemies has increased, it has gone from one to five, or even four with one missing, which is less than a full party. Very subtle. On the other hand, handsome knight, you look cool ......, ah, your face is angry. Roy, the Flame King, followed by Gil, Shin, and Dawn. The shields of the Chrysanthemum Princesses, who activate their skills to heal and protect at long range. Support from Ochazuke and Kurau and the other party members fly to the party members. Before the arrival of Roy and the others, Haruna and Krull''s magic and bow skills rain down on the party as the effects of the "Sins" series linger. Peter is nowhere to be seen, but he is probably doing something. Homura: The waiters suddenly lost their temper. Ochazuke: That''s not right. Can I have my sil? Chrysanthemum Princess: Our sake! Shin: Goddess with my G! Peter: WOW! Homura: What did you see in the laughing Peter? Peter: Naisho www. If it''s not booze, is it skill stones, ninja equipment, or something else?¡¡No, if you can''t tell, maybe an assassin''s outfit? Kikuhime: The knights at Homura''s place seemed to be centered on Homura, didn''t they? Homura: What, and you''re pissed? Peter: We''re used to bosses taking over players in other games. Homura: Oh, that. At first I seriously refrained from attacking, but after I got used to it, I was often killed. ....... The player is connected to the boss by a line of light, and the upper half of the player''s body appears translucently around the boss''s chest, but the target player can also move freely. However, the player who is hijacked takes the damage to the boss during the technique. Because of the long time and the lack of time during the move, when I got used to it, I shifted to attacking and killing the boss quickly, finishing the move, and then bringing him back to life. The game had no penalty or pain, so there was a lot of chaos as the players were screaming and attacking themselves. I remember two occasions when I was out of resuscitation medicine. Peter: The more realistic the sensation is here, the angrier it is. The thing that touches my rope must not move!¡¡[Sealed chain of explosions]! Alice, Krulkan, Ishburn, and the others are suddenly surrounded by a rough rope with a sign attached to it, and they are all tied up in a knot. Shin and the others who have reached the enemy''s position hit the enemy with their skills. Roy seems to have activated his skill to attract the enemy''s attention first, but he seems to have changed his mind and joins the attack. Galahad and the others, who have just finished their big attack, stick to the enemy respectively. > I''m glad you''re cool. Just before the noose of Peter''s skill is about to be torn off, many symbols attached to the noose explode one after another. Poison. We can see that there are strong poison, deadly poison, disease poison, lethal poison, and paralyzing poison. Slip damage is terrible. Chrysanthemum Princess: It''s so terrible! Well, let''s go with a bang so we don''t miss the boat. <<<>, and <>>> When a drop of water falling from the sky hits the ground and forms a crown of water, the water spreads across the stage, ignoring the mass of the drop. In the center of the water where the drop fell is the lovely water goddess Faru. The water rises into the shape of a fish, then jumps and returns to the water again, and Falu disappears with a clean smile on his face. The effect is H! The effect is a continuous recovery of H! When the effect disappears, a huge sword covered with flames slashes at the bosses. Asha, a strong man in armor, appears at the sword''s handle and sheds the sword to the side, then she is enveloped in a flaming cloak that swirls around her in tandem with the sword and disappears as the whirlpool shrinks. The only sound was a desperate scream. That''s it, a trap that makes calling Fal meaningless. 331 - - 329. Attribution and Return I got the title of "First Solo Defeat [Night of the Thunder Emperor]. The first time a single member of a party killed a ùwùw, a thunder beast, with the fewest number of people in the party. This information will remain confidential. Homura: A solo defeat title. And which one is the Thunder Beast? Peter: awww, I didn''t get the title Thunder Beast over here. Ochazuke: You have only one player! Shin: Wow! Peter: I think you can get this title "later" if you work hard at training N.C. Thank you very much. Chrysanthemum Princess: What a spartan way to treat the residents! Homura: Not me, not me! Ochazuke: The residents'' main areas of activity are the places where the players associated with them have been. Peter: and the amount of funds and items I gave you, www. Homura: ...... Shin: I shut up. Kikuhime: I shut up. There it is. The warehouses of the general store and the liquor store are open for the roommates to use freely because they are troublesome. I have a storage facility, so I carry around items that I don''t want people to use, or rather items that I use. I notice that there are a lot of things that I take out, but I also take more than that back home and put them in the storage. Peter: Awww... This one''s title is "Night of the Spider''s Cry," which means "Reduction of Life Decrease due to Environment. Can I ask what that one does? It''s for Fuso''s shadow world," added Peter in a private conversation. Even if there is no reduction in compensation, it is not good to spoil a field that has not been visited. Homura: Mine is to increase the range of [lightning magic], and to recover MP by absorbing lightning. Bow with lightning. By the way, in the original story, the Japanese chimera was killed by shooting with a bow. Ochazuke: So you took away the place of the bowman with your flashy skill, I see. Homura: You are not a good listener ...... <> < With a voice, Asha reappears--her figure is huge and her upper body seems to grow out of the ground--and when her large hand is held over what used to be the ùw''s field, a large table of white stone appears. At the same time, the demons that the knights and adventurers were fighting disappear as if they were crumbling. The fact that there is a little time between the defeat of the Spider and the disappearance of the surrounding demons is a grace, as if the knight and the adventurers were told to strike with great skill and defeat the Spider in that time. From me, from Ochazuke, from Peter, from the Flame Kings, from Roy and the others. The incense burners, each a little different in shape, but all from the same Ishvaan, flutter out and are drawn to the table. Some of them float on the table, others settle on the tabletop, and the black mist floating around them is sucked into the censer without any resistance. Both the black haze and Asha disappeared, and the rose garden, which had been trampled on, somehow returned to its original state. No, the roses are probably blooming and growing more than they were in their original state. The evidence of this is the stone table that appeared earlier, entwined with a vine rose, its flame-like flowers shimmering in the wind. And a small, round silver circle appears in front of those who offered the incense burner. In a basket of silver flames swirling delicately and thinly like ivy, there is a shimmering blue sphere. When you reach out and touch it, it makes a small, hard sound different from that of a bell, and is placed in the item pouch. I have retrieved . Wait. Didn''t you just say something with an extra ending?¡¡Hey? Shin: Hi-yah!¡¡The end!¡¡Bless you, Asha! Homura: Leo didn''t come back after all. Kikuhime: The Alfa Romeo was splashing both friend and foe! Ochazuke: The last time I saw him was when he drove off in a straight line through the battlefield. Peter: Let''s hope he''s still alive. w Shin: Looks like Leo''s taking on some weird titles again! Ochazuke: It''s over for now, it''s over. Oh, my bell?¡¡It''s got a sill mark on it. Peter: I think it''s the one I just saw in a vision. Kikuhime: Then surely it''s only sake for Atechi?¡¡The official challenge is to think of Snow White. Shin: What about mine?¡¡Casino girl! Homura: If I may ask, flame?¡¡There was no mark. Was it in the back?¡¡No, perhaps he did not see the illusion, so there is a sign that it was left unmarked. Peter: The flame is a basic design. Shin: Unmarked man! Kikuhime, possibly correctable to a cat. I would have liked to see a vizier or a white tiger too: ....... Or white, black or Bahamut. d*mn you ......!¡¡With that in mind, I looked down and saw that Dawn''s tail is now on display. --What is it? Ochazuke: This is a big deal during a loose conversation, here. Peter: The imperial knight is on the WWW. Imperial knight?¡¡I turned around to see what was going on, and there was another army of imperial knights kneeling down. > > Galahad denies it, but this is the second time I''ve seen this scene. And without a pause. > We go downstairs at Cal''s words. It''s not for ulterior motives, like getting a closer look at the tail. Roy''s place has a high rate of cat family tails, like maple and maple. ....... The longer I stay with them, the less I care about them, but with Roy and Claud, I still have a strong impression of them from the outside. <<> I''m in trouble. <> < The three of them also sounded troubled. But still, right knee?¡¡When I look at Cal, he is kneeling on his right knee. Is there a difference between kneeling on the left and right knee?¡¡I''ll ask Galahad later. Cal looks up at me with a smile on his face. He pulls off my cloak, which is fluttering well today, and tries to kiss it. It suddenly flutters out of Cal''s hand and flutters in the opposite direction. The result of the cloak''s evaluation. Hand armor appraisal result [......mm] Hey, Cal just froze up! <> I have no choice but to hold out my hand. <> > The three of us are puzzled. If the cloak and cuirass cannot be [appraised]? The mission of staging and such ends with a kiss on the fingertips. I''m sure it''s over, right? . Lapidus and Noel are no longer weak. These knights who kneeled to Lancelot, the knight of the lake, probably want the strongest knight to return to the empire. The country has lost its emperor, the wizard who supported it, and even with the elimination of ùwùw and ÓñÔå, it is still in trouble. > After seeing Kal, Galahad and the others, he [transferred] to a general store via Fast''s temple. The knights who fulfilled their mission and overcame hardship to reclaim their land from the beasts of the seal. Kal and Galahad, who were at the center of the group, are also asked to return to their country and become knights again. I think that each of them originally has a level of status with a mansion. Galahad might be too much trouble and stay in the knight''s quarters or something. How could they live in this small house? I miss him a lot, but my partner''s card is still there and it is not impossible to see him. I should be happy that I could help my friend. "Welcome home, Lord." "Lord, welcome home." I''m home." Lapis and Noel hugged me from both sides, and I held them and patted their heads. "Thank you for your hard work. Are you finished? Reno also came out and asked me to make sure. "Yes, it''s done." No, I''m pretty lonely. Let''s take a break and have a bath. Homura: I''m going to take a bath. Shin: Have a good day! Leo: Wahahaha!¡¡I got a feathered dragon! Homura: No, wait. There''s so much to be picky about!¡¡What''s the matter with you! Shin: At any rate, it seems to be a dragon with bird feathers! Ochazuke: It''s a mystery what''s going on, even after hearing his statement. Kikuhime: It''s useless to ask him. I''m going to take a bath, too. Peter: www. Leo returned, but what he had been doing was a mystery. Why did he come here to kill a dragon when he was here to kill a man? ....... Well, in any case, Leo, Shin, and Kikuhime will have to face off against the Spider once more after they get their hands on the . In the real world, I took a bath, drank some tea, and logged in. "Good morning, Lord." Cal was there. "Good morning. How''s the Reich?" Aren''t you back early?¡¡Did you come here to get your stuff or something? "We have decided to reorganize and install the bloodline of the previous emperor as the new emperor. The compensation to the neighboring countries and other expenses will be covered by the private funds of Merlin. I have also left my frozen personal funds here. It will be difficult for a few years, but I do not think the people will starve. Cal speaks smilingly. "Now that the mess of my old home is over, I can finally serve you without worry." Is this the way you''re going to live in the general store? "Geez!¡¡Just because you''re out doesn''t mean you can''t just push me out and get the hell out of here!" Galahad appears on the transfer plate and says angrily to Cal. Galahad is still dressed in his black knight''s outfit, which he usually wears in his rough clothes. It seems that he was dealing with the aftermath of the battle. And Cal had run away quickly. Cal seems to be good at paperwork and coordination. "I told you this before the war started. We can''t have him relying on us after this. Those of us who stay behind should figure it out." "That doesn''t mean ......,ada,ada,ada!" Galahad tries to argue with Ironclaw. "You better get your ass in gear, resident." I''m already registered! "I see." Kalu removes his hand at Galahad''s words. "That''s why I left everything I had in my empire, Homura. I''m almost penniless except for my equipment. Can''t you hire me, Eagle, and Camilla to come live with you? Galahad says with a smile. "Well, we could do some major renovations and make the rooms a little bigger." He looks at the finger marks on Galahad''s forehead and tells him with a laugh. Apparently, he is fine with the way things are. ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ...increase...

I was out of bed and Cal said good morning, but now it was night, almost midnight. "Do you want to go to bed?¡¡Want a drink?" I ask them if they still want a drink, even though they are probably tired. "I''ll have a drink!" "Bon app¨¦tit!" The answer comes back with a happy face. I probably have a similar look on my face. I don''t put it into words because I''m embarrassed, but you can tell that I''m pleased. This is embarrassing. "To our return." "To the general store." "Lord." We each make a toast and sip our wine. The place is the living room on the third floor of a liquor store, and the table is lined with snacks. "Ha, it''s over, it''s over!" Galahad drinks it all in one gulp, exhales, and says in a voice full of openness, "I''ll be back in a few days. "Good night." "This is delicious and crunchy on the outside. I like the saltiness on top. < into his mouth. It is covered with Parmigiano cheese. "This one is very refreshing," he says. Cal is eating Carpaccio of Shiraiwa Flounder. Juice of green citron and grapeseed oil, peel of green citron for aroma and a hint of bitterness. < I once served chocolate as a snack, but it seems that salty food is better with sake. Spare ribs and risotto for Galahad, who said he was hungry. "By the way, what does it mean to kneel on either side of your knees?" "Ah. It''s easy to draw a sword or not. ......" Galahad answers without making subtle eye contact. "Hmm?¡¡Then wasn''t it dangerous to kneel in front of the Spider?" The left front is more likely to catch the sword. No, it is dangerous to kneel in such a scene full of demons. I would have preferred to kneel on both knees. ...... Cal says with his usual spring smile. "Stop it, it''s more dangerous. I''m glad Cal recognizes me as an employer, but don''t put your life on the line for some strange stunt." "Hmmm. This time it was a great pleasure. Cal smiles with a very happy reminiscent smile. "I hate this old man, he''s going to open all his defensive skills just to kneel down. ......" Galahad''s face is unusually half-crying. Cal, do you like the direction?¡¡Falling from the sky on a sky horse, falling stars--that''s very much what I''m thinking of!¡¡I''m a little late to notice that, aren''t I! "...... Lord, a message from the new emperor. He wants to reward you in some way." "No?¡¡I just wanted to fight the Spider, and I don''t need it." Both Kal and Galahad say they left their personal wealth behind. Reparations to neighboring countries, importing food so that the people of the empire would not starve. The empire will probably never have enough money. "Not only about the sealed beasts, but also about the change in the range of the golden dragon Paltin, and perhaps in a few years'' time, wheat will be harvested in the imperial lands. It seems that those close to the center of the empire who were entrusted with the task were delighted. Patience with the future in sight is different from patience with the future out of sight. "Yes. Until now, the influence of the golden dragon Parthin has been so great that the area where plants grow has been reduced. We''ve been able to get more minerals instead, but we can''t survive without food. When I was there, the air in the empire was full of weapons manufacturing because they wanted to get their hands on the rich land around them. People said the empire was strong, but that was a reflection of the uncertainty of the future of all the people. Galahad stares into the air with his glass in his hand. "It''s subtle after getting along with Paltin, but with Cal, I''m sure we''ll be able to defeat him somehow. ......" Partin, who had weighed himself against influencing Mistiff . As a human being, he would have wanted others to weigh in, but he had no right to choose inconvenience for Paltin and to stay cooped up all the time. "When Pertin defeated the dragon and received the heart, his strength increased. Cal says and raises his glass to his lips. "Retirement ......" How old are you really? "Give him something, he''s got his own problems. It may be a flash in the pan now, but the empire will be disgraced without something for Homura, who contributed so much." "I see. So, what do you think? Liberation of the gateway or permission to travel to the continent of the elves? He is convinced by Galahad''s story and makes a proposal that does not seem to cost a lot of money. "You can go to other continents on your own, can''t you? "Isn''t it nice to be able to go there with an open mind?" He replies to Galahad, who looks stunned. I can''t think of anything! "Permission to use the transfer port will likely be granted to those who have contributed to the defeat of the Spider this time. Considering the balance, it will not be enough. You say that, but I took Kal and Galahad, Eagle and Camilla. Too much. I don''t want to say that I took them, because that would be disrespectful to the will of the two who came back to me, but emotionally... If I told them, they would say "I am not from the empire" or "I am far from being a knight". "In the imperial treasury, in addition to jewels, there are wands and swords. Why don''t you choose one of them? "Yeah, if he chose it, people won''t say anything about what he chose." So let''s do it." I don''t really want anything in particular, and the fact that it''s from the treasury bothers me, but if it makes it all go away, all the better. "Speaking of which, the drop of a mythical creature..." Rummaging through his belongings. Oh no, I have to get my things in order. "It was a bell, but it had a disturbing name. "Disturbing?" They tilt their heads. "<>" The bell he took out makes a hard sound. Purple smoke falls to the floor from under the bell, forming a human figure. This is both a bell and an incense burner. The smoke is supposed to go up, so there is no smell, and it reminds me of dry ice. "You wanted to see me?" A blond boy appears. "Wow. A man of the world!" Galahad, the stick figure. "I had expected this from Liddell and Kulurkan, but you have been made a messenger beast." Kalu smiles and remains smiling. "Hmm. I don''t expect to see you kneeling before a man." A man with a childish expression on his face. "...... Merlin, is that you?" Cal pulls back his smile and makes a straight face. "Ugh." Galahad stands up and moves away. "He was a wizard, but now he''s a muscle gorilla and a definite shorty!" I''m surprised. "Lord ......" "How do you feel about that?" Two people look at me like I''m a disappointment. "You serve a pleasant one, I see. I''m about to be used by the same master, and it seems I''m never bored looking at him. He looks at Cal with a nasty smile. "As usual, you''re a bad person." Cal smiles in an unusually troubled way. "I am Spider, and I am Merlin. All I can do for the Lord is to keep the storehouse and offer this knowledge. I hope you will make use of it for many years. The boy, Merlin, kneels down on both knees in worship as he faces me on the sofa, his expression serious. Blonde hair, darker than Cal''s, shoulder-length bob?¡¡Prince cut. Thin limbs - will they turn into muscular gorillas again when they use magic?¡¡At least the owl is gone. "Wow. ......." "......" Is it my imagination that cold air is coming from the smiling Cal? "Uh, storage and knowledge?" "Yes, for a price, but as a warehouse that can be called up at any time if not in the middle of a battle. It is also possible (?????) to produce (???????) with production equipment (?????) inside (???????). If you can connect it with the storage for store sales, the warehouse of this house will be unnecessary." Merlin, the smiling boy. "Maybe you could even put in a production facility?" I look toward the kitchen and say. Even though we can carry around much larger items than in the real world, we can''t keep some large items in item pouches or storage, but have craftsmen set them up in our rooms. "Yes." "Oh, please!" I reply, and the boy Merlin bows and stands up with a smile. I like to do things by hand, so I don''t intend to leave them stored away, but if I can put them in and out of the production room, the three rooms I have now for [mixing], [alchemy], and [decoration] will become one, and it will be much easier if I don''t need a warehouse. The kitchen is left out. Oh, but can we use the kitchen outside? "This will give us more room. For now, let''s just destroy the warehouse on the third floor on the general store side and make room for Cal or Leno to move in." "By all means. I''ll move in. "Yeah, let''s do that." Cal looks so happy that flowers almost fly in the background. I felt a little sorry that the room was too small for a man nearly two meters tall. But when I told him about the idea of building a room on the fourth floor of the liquor store, he didn''t seem to be interested. I have to contact Trinh, who designed and built this place. "I was going to make fun of ...... who is that?" "Stop messing around with the old man and pulling your punches! His enthusiasm and good mood are bad for my heart. Merlin and Galahad are talking together. The person who had been targeted looked as if he had no idea what was going on. I am not sure if Cal and Merlin are getting along well or not, but I am sure they will get along. Maybe. Afterwards, the two of them join in the discussion and decide on the layout of the rooms in the house. It''s not final, as we''ll hear other requests later, but it reflects the preferences of those who are away, so I don''t think there will be any major changes. "Wow, this is tasty again. In all my years of living, I don''t think I''ve ever tasted anything like this without using special ingredients." I''m glad the food suits Merlin''s palate as well. We spend the night drinking until Galahad falls asleep, and then we split up. It''s a strange feeling of regret, knowing that we will see each other again anytime. Merlin has set out his belongings and formed a nest in a large, empty room on the fourth floor of the liquor store. Yes, it is more aptly described as a nest than a room, with miscellaneous things placed in a motley manner. 335 - - 333. Proceeding with what was left unattended After restocking the liquor store and the general store, we moved to the island. As usual, the island is surrounded by swirling clouds to the right and left, with the occasional lightning bolt, but above us is a star-filled sky. The night sky is bright and clear, probably because the wind is blowing the dust in the air into the clouds. The starry hills are beautiful, but my house is not so bad either. I turn off the night vision and look at the sky for a while. --It''s a mystery why we can see shooting stars only on the Starry Hills, come to think of it. The island is a double caldera. The outer cliff is half collapsed and holds a sandy beach, and inside the inner caldera is a forest where mystics live. This forest has been undergoing a lot of work, and a little work has been done on the vegetation. I am in front of my house in the forest where the mystiffs live. The house is half buried in the inner cliff. I have arranged the house so that there is only a small door on the cliff from the outside, but I only go in and out of the house from here, where the transfer plate is located, because it is troublesome. This is the back door. You open the door to enter the house, turn around and immediately open the door to go out to the . The door that appears to open from the inside of the house is different from the one that leads to the outside and the one that leads to the <> on each side. What''s that? The mountain mausoleum set in the landscape at the edge of the garden is far away. "Welcome home, Master." "My Lord, the <> has expanded again." Liddell and Kuznoha come out of the house. Liddell needs no sleep, and Kuznoha is nocturnal. "Hal and Porgy and the others are very smart and only go to the first area we set aside." Liddell gives us a report. < is when you do something good, like helping the inhabitants. Or for taking part in the Empire or the Imperial War? "Oh, thank you. Today we''re trying to find a place for Kuznoha and Liddell''s house. Where would you like to live?¡¡I can change the terrain to some extent." I promised Kuzunoha to plant cypress, the material for Noh masks, around the area. He says that the bigger the place is, the more foxes will be sent to him, so he wants a large house. He says that he can ask the foxes to take care of the forest and the fields. < Liddell now has a room in the basement of this house, but he wants to add an extra hand by making dolls. He says that he only needs a small house for his dolls and that he doesn''t need it if he can add to the house. No, yes, I don''t want a house where bisque dolls move when I leave. "Nushi-sama, to the mountains of cypresses and autumn leaves ......" "Liddell, near Hal and the others, in a forest surrounded by oaks." Each of the two tells the other what he or she wants, as one would expect. "Write down on a piece of paper the number of rooms you want, the production facilities you want, and what you want. Either bullet points or a floor plan will do. "Yes, Master." Liddell bobbed back and forth happily. "It''s going to be expensive if I write down everything I want. ......" Kuzunoha hides the corners of his mouth from view with his sleeves, but he still says that the price will be high. "You two are always in charge of the , and although it may not be possible to fulfill all of your wishes at once, you must write them down. However, there are some things you may want to do yourself, and you can pay for them from the warehouse. After I tell them this, they happily return to their rooms to do some writing. Then I go to a suitable place in the <> to fulfill a promise that I have been so busy that I have almost forgotten. I plant the paulownia seedling I bought at Fuso, and activate my skills [Plant Growth] and [Divine Tree]. The paulownia seedling instantly grows and spreads its branches. As the name suggests, [Plant Growth] is a skill that makes plants grow, but it seems that they usually don''t grow like this all at once. It seems that the titles [Dru''s Fruit] and [Dru''s Fingertip] are working to produce this result. And now, the preparation of Ruscha. A large amount of de-aged paulownia wood is piled up in front of me. Stored in the storage room, they are ready to go. Homura: Peter, the paulownia wood for the chests you asked for is ready. Shall we put them in the storage room of the clan house? Peter: Mr. Lengard, www. Homura: What''s with you all of a sudden? Peter: The bulletin board is very important. Homura: Accident Peter: Ochazuke is here, too, so if you''re not busy, come to the Clan House. Homura: Yes, yes. I wondered what it was, and went to the Clan House [transferring]. "Here you are, vortex man number one." Peter greets me in the living room, laughing. "The first one?" "The second person is, reluctantly, me." "Yeah?" I settle down on the sofa, tilting my head at the pointless conversation. Peter and I are in the middle of a message board? "Before I forget." "Thank you. I''ll get you something later." I submit an application to throw paulownia wood onto Peter''s porch, and he accepts. "Is that a god tree?¡¡It''s just a chest of drawers that we make." The original sapling was procured in Fuso. I''ve been given myoga and other things, so don''t worry about it. Put the coffee in front of Peter and the tea in front of me. What would you like for tea? "I don''t know if you can say that, but I''ve been given some Krulkan scales." "Is it done?" What''s up? Kulkan''s scales were given to Peter and Camilla. They are sharply broken, obsidian-like scales that were found in large quantities in the room where Kulkan had been. They are sharp to the touch, poisonous to the touch. Speaking of poison, Peter is the one who gave it to her, so I gave it to her to see if she could use it for something. Camilla said she was going to make them into arrowheads, but she must be working on her production level right now because she doesn''t have enough. She had taken the production skill to make arrows, but since she mainly focused on magic, she had not improved her bow skill and her production skill. However, he mentioned that he had a craftsman in the empire whom he knew well, so now that the war against the empire is over, he might leave his materials to him and ask him for help. "Ah, here they come. The post-clearance boss." "Post-clearance boss ......?" Ochazuke came out of the production room and said. "There''s a lot of talk on the message board about a last boss, or a boss to look forward to after the game is cleared. Oh, can I have some coffee too? "Coffee is fine, but why the rasta? Why rasbos...haven''t we been told that before?" Coffee before oatmeal. Okay, I''ll make pancakes. With lots of sweetened cream and green tea ice cream. "Ah. That sounds good." Ochazuke then snatches up a pancake. "Pancakes, is this roasted tea?" Yes, roasted tea pancakes. I answered his question and took a bite myself. Mm, it''s good. The ice cream is delicious, too. PETERO. "The board, what''s so great about it?" "We beat up the sealed beast almost unilaterally and recovered all the knights. Ochazuke says. "Oh, I''ll thank you too for helping me with the recovery of Falu." Peter looks at me and says. "Was there any danger?¡¡You seemed to be using some big moves." "Yes, I was hit by the backlash of my own technique. < "How''s the party recovering?" Peter''s party was Shin, the Flame King, Gil, Elias, and the knight. Did Elias heal them with items? "He''s been out of sight. I''m self-healing." I was thinking, "It''s hard without a professional healer," and he gave me a different answer. "Mr. Lengard''s black assassin unveiled!¡¡That''s what the board was buzzing about." Ochazuke says over coffee. "Mine?¡¡Unveiling?¡¡No, I mean, did they know who you really are?" I think it will be noisy if they find out that the black assassin is Peter. "Thanks to you, I was wearing an inhibitor, so I''m safe. He was almost invisible during the battle. I wonder if the rest of the party members except for Shin and the knight are aware of it. Peter says, thinking for a moment. And there is a synchronicity that we don''t notice. "I never thought that abdominal challenge would work for the better. ......" Ochazuke shakes his head. What''s a sit-up challenge? "Lengard''s," he says, "is the same guy who''s been taking part in the big battles by dressing up as a black assassin on call. Well, he was hunting for a guy who was going to do something wrong in a grocery store, so he asked Ochazuke to assassinate him." Peter says as he cuts up a pancake. "That was a pretty good haul." A word from Ochazuke, too. "Am I bait? "That''s one way of putting it. It''s a simple job of making a request. Peter will compensate me with a color on the commission, and it''s a good business. "I can not only get a commission, but I can also take one item from the target and increase my skill level, so it''s a good business. They tell me with a smile. Terrible. "The knight in the general store was standing while all the other imperial knights were forced to kneel. I thought they couldn''t act collectively, but that was just a bunch of other people being forced to kneel. "That blue knight and the red knight, they''ve been gaining so much popularity on the message boards that the blue knight finally has his own thread. "Yeah, they''re flashy and they''re both good looking." It''s really a mystery to me why you''ve been able to fit in at the grocery store. "Blue Knight-san is also smiling and making assassination requests, it''s not so easy ......." Peter gives a subtle smile. Mr. Cal, what are you doing? "This time the sphinx was flashy, but it looks like it was originally a sealed beast for producers." "Because it''s a warehouse?" "Yes. Also, I was wondering if that boss stuffing would come out of the boss that the person with the highest dexterity in the party encounters." "Heh?¡¡So, not Elias, but Peter''s Alice?" Boss filling, Ishvaan and Alice and Bahamut in Armor and Krulkan. Peter, is he more dexterous than Elias in production? I''m talking about "is it not? But, depending on how you do it, you might be able to get away with a weak boss. Ochazuke says. "I see?" I''m puzzled as to why it was Krulkan and not Bahamut. "You also said that it might be a random selection of and that the party members have fought before. I guess at that point, it was supposed to be random among the <>, right?¡¡Someone mixed in <, but that was a little too hard." So says Peter. Who is he? 336 - - 334. Organizing and consulting the schedule "I can''t say it strongly enough, because I''ve had my share." Peter says with a subtle smile. "I don''t care what you do with Lengard and the black assassin, but just be careful not to be identified. Leo alone is a pain in the ass!" Ochazuke says and brings a cup of coffee to his mouth. "Hi." "Aligned with Leo ......" Peter is shocked. Leo seems to only say "wa-ha-ha-ha" when he says something to him, and sometimes Kikuhime and Ochazuke ask him what he''s up to." I don''t want to be asked about Leo''s plans for the day!" Kikuhime was very excited. I was asked once in the city, but Peter said, "I don''t know. I mimicked his answer, "I don''t know. I gave a curt reply and that was the end of it. Ochazuke spread various rumors and led them to the conclusion that the effect of good luck would be lost if they did not meet by chance. --But whether the good luck is really effective or not is a mystery. "Oh, the margin of assassination is delicious, so please keep it coming. Ochazuke with a nice smile. "I don''t want the <> across the street to be a convenient place to lure them out." Here''s Peter with a nice smile, too. Across the street from the general store used to be the store of or , which was involved with Elias, but it was vacated after the great war. It must have had some financial difficulties because the place, including the black lily-related place, was blown up clean. Oh, can assassination be exposed?¡¡If they find out, they should be able to take away any kind of assassin skills. ....... I can''t ask because I don''t want to be found out. "Oh. I''ve completed my professional quests and I''m on my own. I still belong, though." I must have looked strange, because Peter looked at my face and explained. I couldn''t ask him about the details of his job, but it seems that he is now able to accept requests that do not come through the guild. With this change, it seems that he is now comfortable calling himself an assassin. "But I''m going to keep it under wraps from now on." The mouth that contains a smile and the eyes that stare at me for a brief moment as he spins his words. Yes, I should get on with my assassin''s quest. I understand. "As for our plans for the future, we''re going to the victory party at the Isle. I''ll go to the elven continent on my own, and as a clan we''ll get the censer in Sadiras and go to the Isle once more. Should we do the one that Homura went to too?" Ochazuke puts down his cup of coffee and asks. "Yes. If we go to the elven continent after the ùw, can we do it later?¡¡I honestly don''t know how it will affect the battle of the Spider." By the one I was going to, you mean the tower of Merlin. The key item I received at the tower was a , a pass to the Oni no kai - to go to the Yin world in Fuso. You can put it off if you want to go to the elven continent. "Well, let''s ask the other three what we should do with the tower before we decide. Ochazuke says. I have a feeling that Leo wants to go somewhere new, but at the same time I don''t think he has the money to move. I''m going to the Isle for a victory party and a meeting with Christina, and then to Fuso to take down the tamamo that escaped and increase Kuzunoha''s fluff. I will attend the battle between the fire dragon and the green dragon in Paltin. Oh, let''s go to Fuso and see Luba. I don''t know if it''s the same dragon, but I believe the green dragon was his friend''s avenger. Then I''ll go on with the assassin''s quest. Oh, you''re pretty busy, aren''t you? "Text from Roy." Ochazuke controls the window. "Me too." "Yeah, I got one too." It seems to have been sent to all three of us at once. The contents of the message were <>. As usual, the details of Roy''s emails are a mystery. "And now from Claud. Ochazuke seemed to have expected it, too, and read through the second message that arrived as if following Roy''s one. The email from Clough inquired that he was thinking of purchasing a house privately and would like to meet with him to get his opinion. "Can I say yes now?" "Go ahead." "No problem." I let Ochazuke reply and wait. "Do you think all the individuals are going to buy individually?" "Well?¡¡It''s the center of a large clan over there. Even if you set up a private house, I doubt if you have time to take care of it. Peter is right, there are a lot of people and they are busy. "It looks like they took a lot of damage in the big battle of the event, so they might try to diversify their assets by setting up other bases. I''ve given them permission to move to the house. They''re coming. I''ll get out of your way! Yo!¡¡Roy. "I''m sorry to rush you." Clough looks a little apologetic. "I''ll get out of your way." Dawn, with a pouting face. "Hello." Shirayuri speaks a little leisurely. "Hello!" "Hello~" Momiji, maple twins play. Just as Ochazuke finishes his speech, the others move in one after another. "Welcome! Ochazuke sits down and raises his hand. I move next to Ochazuke and open the place with Peter while I serve coffee tea and sweetmeats. "This room is as cozy as ever. Roy sits down laughing. "Tea, thank you." Clau smiles peacefully. "Mmm-hmm. It looks delicious." Not knowing where the sweet stuff goes, Shirayuri puts the fingertips of her right and left hands together in front of her mouth and smiles prettily. It''s a mystery to me where the sweetness goes in that nubby waist, but then again, there are two of my employees who don''t know where the sweetness goes in their mouths, either. I wonder if they have strong digestive juices or something: ....... "Looks delicious!" "Looks so good!" The maple and maple leaf look at the sweetmeats on the table hand in hand. Tails and ears twitching. "What?" I looked at Dawn''s head and she asked me back. Mr. Black Panther is not at home. "Do you each have a house in addition to the clan''s base?" Ask Roy. "Not each of us, just the six of us. Bon app¨¦tit. Roy drinks coffee. "Whoa!¡¡What the hell?" And you''re surprised. "Ochazuke had the guts to find some < and brewed it with them." I rarely drink, so I didn''t bother to look for it. I mean, I didn''t even know they existed. It is a high grade ingredient, so it must be better than what I served to Roy and his friends before. "Hmmm. Expensive?" Satisfied with the tea pickles. "Tea is good, too. All the [cooks] in the clan are coffee drinkers, which makes me feel small. Clough is one of the few tea drinkers. After a short irrelevant chat, we got down to business. "So, I''m at the house, and there''s actually a spot open in front of Fast''s ." "Bust." Ochazuke blurts out Roy''s words. "Ouch!" Peter, who seems to have smashed his cup against his teeth. "Gobble, gobble, gobble!" The tea got into the wrong place and I cough. < our house? "Are you all right?" "Don''t be so surprised." Clough and Dawn. "<> is that <>?" Ochazuke asks. "Yes. Isn''t it great? I''ve been approached by the Commerce Guild to see if I can help." Roy laughs. "I don''t know if I''d call it amazing or what. ......" I''m at a loss for a response. "There are a lot of people who want it because it''s in front of that . ....... The guild of commerce wanted to keep the house vacant rather than rent it out to some strange person, but apparently it''s not safe to keep it vacant." Two people look away as Clau explains. "So, we''ve been getting along rather well with the residents of Fast, and we''re the ones who got the call." Roy took over Clough''s explanation and continued. "We''re thinking of renting it. But the general store next door is owned by Elias, who is friends with the Flame Kings, isn''t it?¡¡I heard that Wences of the Golden Hammer originally opened the store to harass Elias. I don''t want to be in the middle of a fight by setting up a house so close to here. What''s Elias like next to the general store?¡¡You guys are good friends with the Flame King, aren''t you?" Apparently, Roy and his group were not here to see the potential location of the house. "An unexpected question." "It''s tough when clans are competing with each other for the top spot." Peter is making tea and casual remarks about his labor. "The Flame Kings are good guys, and I''m sure Roy and the others would get along well with them." The Flame King seems to have a policy of not getting along with his rivals, so it would be difficult. "--I don''t think Elias would mind if Roy and his friends set up house nearby." "That''s a loaded way of putting it, isn''t it?" Dawn raises one eyebrow and asks. "Gil, the Flame King, and Krull are in and out a lot, so I''m sure they''ll see each other.¡¡I think Elias himself would rather enjoy seeing that reaction." Also, our employees are probably going to check it out: ....... "I see. If the landlord is generous, it seems to be all right. I''m sure Mr. Flame King will still be staring at me. ......" Clough says. "The wrinkles between the Flame King''s eyebrows are business as usual." I get stared at a lot too. "It''s a good location, location!¡¡It''s not too far from the clan house, but not too close either." "I don''t feel at home in the Clan House because of all the things people bring in." Next to Roy, who is making a strong argument, Klaue is sipping tea and making a leisurely commentary. "Above all, we have a right in front of us!" I don''t know how to react to Roy''s forceful words. "I was allowed to look around, but the glass in the <> was shielded except for the store..." Mr. Shillayuri?¡¡Is that a preview? Or rather, shielded glass?¡¡When did this happen?¡¡When Cal told me about the defensive aspects, I told him he could do what he wanted, but was that part of it?¡¡If you can''t see the bath from the outside with the shielded glass, you didn''t need to smash one of the windows in the courtyard just because you might be able to see the bath. "That''s fine, isn''t it?¡¡Sometimes you might see the light of someone changing back into the temple." Ochazuke says. "The ones who challenge Lengard to break into his store. I never get tired of it. Dawn brings a cup of coffee to her lips. No, maybe he''s talking about Peter''s work. There''s something disturbing around my store! 337 - - 335. It looks like youre going to decide. "Roy and the six of you are going to live there?¡¡Do you want to open a restaurant?" The building across the street has a wide ground floor frontage and is used as a store. It was originally a row of warehouses, which were torn down and the land was cleared. The building across the street is larger than my . "If you want to live here, split it in half, me, Claud, and Dawn. The other half would be for day lilies, maples, maples and their girlfriends - the top producers in our area. Roy tells me, folding his fingers. "He wants to sell some of his hobbies. "Specifically, figurines. "Figurines?¡¡Hey, did you have a stall there before?" "Yes. My main occupation now is a shield decorator who decorates shields and armor with decorations that grant abilities. Shirayuri replies to Ochazuke, who seems to have remembered something. "Oh, the three-dimensional pattern on Roy''s shield? "Oh!¡¡It gives them a little more range. When the whole group is hit, two people on either side can take a little less damage. It''s quite an effect. "I''ll sell you the rest of the carpet. Say "day lily" smilingly. "A carpet?" "Why a carpet?" Ochazuke and I asked back. "It''s a hobby!" ""Hobby."" Me and Ochazuke, who is unintentionally hamming it up. Peter can join us too, right?¡¡I''m sure maple and momiji miss me. Business as usual. It''s not normal... right? Peter, who seems to have felt my eyes on him, pastes a subtle smile on his face and says to me. "......" I''ll give you a cold shoulder...I''m rather spartan about A.L.I.C.E. and I know I''m not, but it''s kind of a promise. "Weaving is calming to me," he says. I''m not in production, and it''s just a household item, but residents are buying it..." "The number of house owners is increasing, and the demand is going to increase." Dr. Ochazuke, a gap industry teacher, seems to be a good judge. "I was going to divide it between the second and third floors, but if it''s so dangerous, should I divide it between the general store side and the atelier side? ......" Clough says, looking at the cup of tea in his hand. Atelier is the name of Elias''s store. "I don''t know about the players trying to capture it, but I think the <> chasers will change the location if people live there.¡¡Especially since Roy and his friends are famous. If the targets don''t come, the assassins won''t come either, right?" Peter says, looking like a third person. "I''m sure <> will welcome the distance from the followers who are on the prowl. Good luck." "Hmm?¡¡Wasn''t the nuance a little funny at the end?" Roy asks back to Chazuke, who is reading the last part in a barbed tone of voice, for encouragement. "Because I don''t want to be in eye contact with that knight. I don''t know what he''s going to figure out. "It''s homophobic." Peter laughs at the ochazuke. Homura: Can we fill the vacant house?¡¡Assassination and unearned income? Peter: It''s about getting rid of a vicious stalker, and if he''s gone, so much the better. Ochazuke: It was a simple job to ask the target and send an assassination request, but if I intentionally kept the situation with the bait of homura, I might be assassinated by a knight who sent an assassination request. I will not do anything that is not worth it. Homura: Bait ...... Peter: I asked him to make a weak spot in the shielded glass of the , so it is easy to find and position the target, because "where you can see it" is limited, even though you can''t see it. Homura: Who asked you to do that! Peter: By the way, the weak spot is the knight''s room. I wondered why you were so keen on observing the , but I see that''s what Cal is for. Lapidus and Noel are also popular, and I''ll go ahead with the assassin quest to ensure the safety of the employees. Hmm?¡¡No, isn''t it strange to choose assassination to protect?¡¡Is it my imagination?¡¡Well, it''s good to have a way. "I''ll ask Elias directly, since there doesn''t seem to be anything for sale." I looked at the login information of my friend with whom I have exchanged partner cards and saw that his name is white, so he must be in <. When he is logged out, his name is gray. "Are you close to Elias, too?" "Ah, well, Shin was with me at the Battle of Spiderwick." Roy is surprised, but Dawn looks convinced. "By the way, you were with the black assassin, weren''t you?¡¡After all, is that person a n!?c or a player? ....... If he was with the one at the tournament, he must be a player." Clough is twisting his neck. "It''s hard to ask the Flame Kings, and I''d ask Shin if he were here. Did he say anything?" "Nothing in particular?¡¡I knew it--was that the black assassin in the Flame King''s party?" Peter asks blankly. He hears Ochazuke''s truthful response, "Shin is a bit of a sceptic," and inquires of Elias. Homura: Hello, sorry for the abruptness. ELIAS: Hello, what''s up?¡¡I received the curry safely. I thank you on behalf of the Flame King. Homura: Thank you, too, for the attribute stones. So, Roy and the others are at the clan house now, and they want to know if they can stay in the vacant house in front of the studio. They seem to be concerned about the fact that he and the Flame King are rivals. ELIAS: Oh, no?¡¡I don''t care who lives there as long as they don''t barge in like Wences did. Homura: Okay, I''ll tell them that. Thanks for the trouble. ELIAS: Hmmm--I''m looking forward to the Flame King''s interesting story. I thought I heard a chuckle before I hung up the call. ......? "So, other than the party that was in the Alliance, the rest of the party was unaware that the Black Assassin was in the Flame King''s party?" "Yes. Most of them probably think that Lengard called them in, or that he joined in solo. When he did his fancy moves, he hid himself so well that we couldn''t tell where he was using them from. He was using cloaking before that, so those of us who were nearby could only guess that he was the ." "Heh. They know you''re using cloaking?" "I can tell you that much. Even if I did, my face and body shape were still a blur. When I took my mind off the conversation with Elias, I found Roy in the living room, caught in Peter''s leading questioning, talking about the <>. Apparently, the <> was inconspicuous before he used his technique, and after he used it, he disappeared from sight, so he remains a mystery. "Sorry to keep you waiting, Elias doesn''t mind." When Peter finishes what he wants to know, he calls out to him. "Oh, thank you!" Roy smiles and thanks me. He''s a refreshingly honest leader. White teeth. "Well, I''ll take the plunge and borrow it!" Roy taps his knee. "Hmmm, more chances to buy a cake!" Shirayuri smiles happily. "I want the one with strawberries on it. "I want chocolate." Maple tree, maple tree. More chances, have you ever been in line?¡¡I have a long line at my store, and I don''t serve cake every time. "Don''t forget to buy the <> and the <>, okay?" "I''ll take care of it." Shirayuri answers Claud''s anxious nudge with a smile. I''d have at least given her some medicine, but I haven''t told her ...... that I''m a lenguard. Roy and his friends are good guys, but the clan is too big. I still don''t know if they are the type of people who can keep quiet to their relatives, or if they are not under pressure to keep quiet. Roy is not the type of guy who can''t tell a lie, so he will act suspiciously if he is asked. If I were to tell the truth, it would be to Kurau or Dawn. I''ll talk to Kurau when the move is finalized. Yeah, I''ll do that. We''ll sell more cakes. "We need to decide on a floor plan." Well, the general store side is dangerous, so it''s us. Clough speaks up, and Dawn voices her opinion. "Right!¡¡Shirayuri and Kaede Momiji, you stay on the atelier side and protect Tew." A happy Roy. Claud is quiet and calm, and Dawn is oblique and lively. "Tew is an amazing person at the level of grant. The figure looks like it''s about to start moving. Ochazuke says. I see, so the figure is Tew. "The three of you look happy, don''t you? Peter asks. "Well, it''s right in front of the <>!" Roy laughs. "What''s so good about being right in front of it?" Easy to get in line or something? "And who knows, maybe we''ll run into Lengard by accident!" "Yeah, right." "Hmm." We''ve met, we''re meeting right now! 338 - - The House "Homura, I''ll gather the ingredients, and when you decide to move in, I''ll ask you to make soba noodles." Roy with a smile. "Hmm?¡¡I thought the person moving in would be the one handing them out." "Oh!¡¡I want to greet and distribute them to the three houses on the other side of the street, please!¡¡The reward is a slightly unusual recipe." "Oh, you want me to make moving soba noodles." That''s the one where I get to make my own food too: ......! Sorry, the reward is tempting, but I avoid soba and ramen because many people have their own ideas about them. Towels or something - if you''re going to give a housewarming gift, wouldn''t sweets be a better choice?" Ramen noodles are made in the grocery store, but not for sale. Many people eat soba and ramen more than I do and pursue them seriously, and even if I use my skills, their tastes are so varied that I don''t feel I can meet their requests at all. The rephrased towels have [life magic], so they are not always used as in the real world. Residents use them, but Gentiles are not so sure. "......What''s a family saying?" Roy gently walks over to Claud and Dawn next to him, puts his hand next to his mouth and asks them without making eye contact with them. "An opinion, an argument, an editorial that is unique to that person. It''s a person''s unique opinion or argument, an editorial. --I think soba is not so subtle for the residents. "You''re the guy who talks about his vast knowledge. --I''ll have to teach you how to eat. They each reply. "Oh, sure. And I''ve had my share of arguments with Leo." Roy is convinced. So you and Leo argue, you like ramen. Then can''t you order some baked goods or something? "Piers, the swordsmith, likes sweets." Dawn follows Roy''s words. "Okay, but..." You sure?¡¡It''s a treat for the grocery store, and I''m bringing it to Elias'' place as well as packing curry. And you do business with a sword shop. Their stuff is so cool that I can''t help but buy it even if I don''t use it. Roy and the others left, saying that they would proceed with the procedure. "It looks like there are a lot of applicants, but I guess Roy and the others will get it because of their contribution to FAST. Ochazuke says, holding his cup close to his mouth. "The guy across the street. Anyway, Peter aside, when did Ochazuke meet Cal?" Peter is attending a banquet with us at Fuso. "I haven''t seen him, I haven''t seen him. I''m afraid that he might know what I''m talking about, even though we haven''t met. I imagine him smiling at me silently when I pass by the grocery store!" Ochazuke, who is skeptical . How do you keep track of all those details during a big battle?¡¡I can''t deny it, though, as I remember thinking to Cal. I think the clan members are usually aware of it. "I don''t meet them for business either, I work through the guild for fast work. I don''t show myself." Peter puts his index finger to his lips. "Well, I''m going to take a break." "Good night." "Good night, see you later." He sees Ochazuke off to a private room. "Homura, you had a carpenter, or rather, you can build a sukiya, right?" "Yes. Next time, I''ll try my hand at a shinden-zukuri." "How did you do that?" When I answered Peter''s question, the thin smile on my face hardened and he asked me back. "No, Kuzunoha. Thanks to the battle of the Empire, we have a much larger garden, and it seems that Fuso has the blueprints to build a new palace. Kuzunoha is planning to increase the number of his fox dependents and have them work on the farm. The materials are going to be gathered from the timbers he has saved up from , the ones he has bought, and the ones he has collected from the houses of the Fuso no Yin-kai. I must raise the level of [Carpenter]. Homura has a lot of things. They look a little taken aback. "So, what is it?" If I can make a sukiya, it confirms that I can make a Japanese house. There are three branches of carpentry: Japanese, Western, and Chinese. Since I left the Western-style building to Trinh, and since it was during the time of the Fuso mountain retreat that I really raised my level of [carpentry], the branch that I have advanced to is the Japanese-style building. It is predictable that he wants me to build a Japanese-style house, but where? "Will you build me a house in my yard?¡¡I''ll have to wait until I''m at level 40 [carpenter]." "I''m already over 40...A.L.I.C.E. house renovations?" Peter''s garden was a toxic garden where he would have bought building units and installed a small house. "No, a hobby. My garden is bigger now." Peter smiles at that. So, we were invited to the poisonous plant garden. "Oh, really. It''s getting bigger." "I don''t remember working for the residents, but I think I''ve been able to spread some of the word about the imperial war because I''ve been on Lengard''s side." The inflection of a laugh behind the thing. "What kind of hobby house is that?" We walk toward the place Peter wants us to build. I try to [appraise] the plants around me, and the description is full of scary things. At first glance, the place where we are walking is not a field planted with poisonous trees and grasses, but rather a path of wild flowers with lovely blossoms here and there, but the flowers and trees are all poisonous. Too much as usual. "<> and materials have been prepared. It''s a straw-roofed house with a hearth cut into it. "When the enemy comes cutting at you, use the lid of the pot to stop the blade." It looks like a retired swordsman or a ninja in hiding. Come to think of it, they mentioned something about making Kuruma-dansu (chests for cars), and it seems that they are planning to provide a place for them to live according to the role-playing of the ninja. If they start full-scale production, they will have a hard time finding a place to put their equipment in the size of that room. There is a shared production space, but it will be hard to create poison. "Here, sir. Please." Peter stops in front of me, and with a word, the trade screen opens. A large number of house materials are lined up. I accept them and start production. < has already been modified with . for the interior are also available. It must have been hard work to get all the materials. He has enough level, but he doesn''t want to waste Peter''s efforts by making a mistake, so he changes his equipment, starting with <>. The cloak is fluttering in the wind. "I''m wearing white here!" "This is the equipment that increases dexterity the most." < and is not done with white equipment, though. < is a type of equipment which, once you have more than four pieces of equipment with the name of a god, your status will increase with each additional piece of equipment you have after that. So, you need to use all your equipment even if it is not related to dexterity. In " < and a window will open, and a grid will appear along Peter''s garden visible through the window. "Is this about right?" He changes the setting so that the contents of the window are visible to the party members and asks Peter. "I want to plant a persimmon tree here, so move it over here a little. Looking into the window, Peter points. "Like this?" "Yes, thank you." "<>. As for dyeing, is the combination of persimmon tannin and egoma oil good, even though it''s kind of bland?" You can see what the result will look like by selecting the candidate materials that float in the window. What we are looking at now is the color of the columns and beams. The combination of materials that Peter has gathered will be stained black, but it looks as if it has been painted. "Hmmm. I wonder if it would be better not to paint it?¡¡I''d like to keep the grain and darken the color." A disappointed Peter. <, but it is not in line with your wish to make it darker. "Wait a minute." Close the window and move the items from [Storage] to the item pouch. Before transferring the package, remember to save the list of items in the item pouch on the screen and record the items received from Peter. "How''s that?" < on . A deep candy color with the luster of tortoiseshell. "A little darker." >>. "hmmm ......" Subtle, apparently. In the end, I settled on <> with <> and a little <><>. "Thank you, even the black is very different. I want to collect the <> and return them later, but <> is very high in rank." "No, I''m going to use clear lacquer. <, so please give it to me as a housewarming gift. I only accumulated it because the enemy dropped it with the material I wanted. I''ve been accumulating as much as I can, taking advantage of the [storage]. The rest I can do without any problem with the materials I received. "Oh?¡¡It''s quite tasteful." It''s strange that I, the producer, am impressed, but the straw roof and mud walls, it looks nice. "Right? There''s no furniture or anything, but here you go." "Can I let the chickens out in the yard later?" The country feel is like this: ....... They are going to plant persimmon trees and want to set up chickens. Or hang daikon radishes to dry. "I can''t take care of them, the poison will kill them." The answer was met with laughter. Well, I guess I''ll have to settle for daikon radishes. Entering the front door, there is an earthen floor, and in the corner of the earthen floor, there is a watering hole. A wooden floored room with a sunken hearth, shoji screens, and a wooden door. As you look around, Peter has set up a chest of drawers in the room. On the hearth, he puts out a pot with a hook, a potter''s hook, and an iron pot with a lid. "Is that a mat there? Won''t that hurt?" I ask him about the mat that has been placed in front of the hearth, perhaps as a cushion. "For the time being, yes. I''ll change it if I can find something that won''t ruin the atmosphere. "No way, the futon is also a mat. ......" The life of a ninja, Stoic! "No, it''s just this room. You see, this room has tatami mats. We''re going for a Japanese style, but we''re going for comfort in places you can''t see." Behind the open wooden door was a tatami mat. They were still new, and the color of the igusa (Japanese sesame) was a beautiful little green. "It''s good that you don''t blink. I''m a bit of a muddler." I think I was right to leave the grocery store and liquor store to Trinh. If I coordinate them, I can only see a future where I want to incorporate this and that and chaos ensues. I''ll leave the coordination of Kuzunoha and Liddell''s house to him, too. 339 - - The Sign of a Dragon "......" "What''s wrong, old Narn?" Reno is concerned about Narun, the blue dragon who started to pull when he saw me in his vision. No, I''m not going to attack you without a reason. The location is in the Parthin Mountains, at the foot of the foothills near the sleeping quarters of the Parthin. Today is the day of the confrontation between the two dragons that are courting the golden dragon Paltin, and Reno has been asked to be present for the battle. The team consisted of myself, Reno, Kal, Ruba, and Narun, who was also present. I had just picked up Ruba in Fuso and met up with Reno and Narun. Narun, the blue dragon, is in human form. The tips of his visible hands, hair, and beard are slightly bluish, and he has scales on the back of his hands, but he is a small old man. It looks as if I am frightening the old man, which is very bad for his appearance. So, will you please stop pulling on me? "Homura, thank you again." I was about to say something to Narun when Luba, holding a sword in front of him, bowed his head. "You should thank Reno or Paltin, right?¡¡I''ve only helped move them." "Of course, you should thank Lord Reno. But without Homura, I don''t think I would have been allowed to be present at the battle of the dragon''s courtship." I have not done much, and yet they are so gracious as to thank me. The fire dragon Grasha and the green dragon Taral, who are wooing Pertin, are ferocious dragons that are not very good for people. And Taral the green dragon is an enemy of Luba''s best friend. "Only old Narn, the dragon, can intervene, and he is not to be touched until the courtship is over. --But after that, you''re free to go." "Yes, I know what you mean. Yes, I know what you mean. Besides, it''s more convenient to be weak." Luba replies to Leno who nails him. Ruba''s goal is, of course, to kill the green dragon. Although Ruba is skilled with a sword, he is not very strong. The correct answer is that there is a high probability that the green dragon will be defeated by Pertin, so his goal is to thrust his sword at the fallen dragon. Perhaps he intends it to be a way of mourning for his friend. The sword that Luba is carrying is said to be the sword of his friend who had broken it and had to be re-hammered. He has been growing his own hair in order to strike the best one someday, and he offered it to his friend when he re-sheathed the sword. Luba is not bald. I wonder what the source of the hair and blood dedication is?¡¡There is a story collected by Koizumi Yakumo about a Chinese emperor who ordered his artisans to kill them if they could not cast a large bell to tell the time by a certain date, and a daughter threw herself into a furnace for her father who was unable to make it by all means. And hair is said to be the residue of blood, so I guess it is an allusion to that story. Peace is better than sacrifice. When the fighting starts, I''ll ask for your help. Yes, sir. I feel like I''m asking a lot, but Cal accepts with a smile. If the green dragon is not defeated by Paltin, I will lend a hand. But before that, it was like a big battle of three monsters, and I had no confidence in my ability to protect Luba, so I asked Kal to come along with me. Today is Galahad''s first day as a lone bouncer at the general store. Reno is taking care of Narun, who is still limping, as they walk along the mountain road. Are you all right, grandpa? Luba''s tight-lipped mouth won''t open and Cal has a spring smile. What am I supposed to look like? , which had been hidden from Fuso, is gently put back in the display state. The mask and Tasya''s white leaf hat are often hidden. This is the same function as the master ring, which is equipped but appears to be invisible. The special effects of the mask are disorientation, inspiration and exaltation of oneself and one''s comrades in combat, and awe of enemies. It increases STR, VIT, and AGI of you and your companions by 3%, and decreases STR, MID, and DEX of your enemies by 3%, and can be used in combination with other skills and meals of the same type. The recognition blocking works whether it is hidden or not, but it is displayed in the presence of people. Because I don''t feel comfortable to show it. I sometimes forget to do so. When hidden, it seems that those who have seen Rengaard''s mask appear to see his masked face, while those who have not seen him cannot see his face. It seems to be invisible, or rather, it seems to be the only part of the face that is missing from their consciousness. And to those who know it is me, my face is visible. Conveniently, I''ve recently been using "Utsuroshin" (Depressing Mind) as well. "Thank you for coming, old Narn. I thank Homra as well." The place where we were welcomed by the humanoid Paltin was a valley near the sleeping quarters. A wide chasm with cliffs on either side. This is probably where Galahad and his men passed through on their way out of the empire, and where Paltin''s hunting grounds began. "Are we there? ......" Luba wipes away sweat. "Good work." and . The place looks like it''s made of rock and sand, influenced by Paltin, and it''s amazing that you''ve been able to follow me here despite being a production worker. I have the [transport] and I''m used to it from my stay in the mountains of Fuso. By the way, Cal was quite normal. Paltin passed by everyone except me and Narun. And Cal also went through and brought out a tea table and began to brew tea. In a lined glass, he pours a much stronger tea, honey-dipped oranges - so far I made them - and ice, and pours the stronger tea on top. "Here you go, Lord." "Thank you." Drinks the offered iced tea. "If you would like to join me, Mr. Luba." "Oh, ......." Ruba is sweating again when Cal calls out to him. "You have a lot of guts to be able to withstand the chi of two famous dragons," he said. "It''s tough. The knight is cool as a cucumber." ....... I''m the only one who has gone through the dragon''s chi!¡¡Dull, dull am I! "Tsk!¡¡The old stinkin'' blue dragon is here to stay." "There are some dwarf humans here, not to mention my servant, the dragonet!" Just as a black shadow appeared, a fire dragon and a green dragon appeared in the sky above us with a line that sounded like the third most powerful dragon in the world. They are so far away and so big that their voices might be diffused before they reach us, but strangely enough, they sound normal. The fire dragon has a long face, neck, and arms, and its scales are huge. The green dragon is... "Mold?" "Lord ......" "Homura ......" Cal calls me to rebuke him with a troubled smile, and Reno looks at me with a disappointed look. No, I only feel that way because he has his blinkers closed. An opaque membrane covers his eyes, which are a little darker gray than his whitish face. On land, his eyes are dry, so they are closed most of the time. I wondered why they could see so opaque, but then again, I can see normally even if I wear a mask. The back of the green dragon is covered with grayish green. It is not a cute kind, but something lumpy and still. "The green dragon Talar exudes a small amount of poison through the gaps in its scales, and over the years it has built up a body covered in poison." Reno explains. It seems to be the result of blotting and drying, blotting and drying. The stillness is probably due to further oozing from underneath the hardened material. "I understand Narun, but this guy is a witness?" I''m sure the bride has prepared a feast for me. "I''m the one who puts Parthin on watch." Come to think of it, they both eat people. ? !" Just as they start to argue, they suddenly stop and look at me. "If you could refrain from doing that, it might complicate things..." Reno calls out to Cal. I look at him to see if he has done something wrong, but he gives me his usual spring smile. "You''ve got some nerve for a human, huh?" "I was going to eat you later, in front of Paltin, right?" And then a dragon like the three youngest dragons involved. "Youngsters!¡¡Don''t provoke this one too much!¡¡Get on with it!" Narun interrupted in a hurry. No, you can''t treat me like I''m some kind of a dangerous animal, can you? "Homura, what on earth have you done with old Narn?" Paltin asks curiously. "I was just trying to hit him with some agreed-upon special move, that''s all. It was Narn who started to ask me to prove it. "Is it a Homura technique?" Reno asks with interest. "Yeah!¡¡You may begin!" "Ha-ha-ha!" "Let''s get this over with!" Nalun shouts in desperation, and two of them rush toward Paltin, who is still in his dragon body. "We''ll beat them!" Partin barks and flies into the sky above the two animals, transforming into a dragon body. "No one but dragons are allowed to interfere in the courtship battle!¡¡Watch and be quiet!¡¡...... please!¡¡Really ......" Narn, don''t let the second half of what you''re saying get weird. I don''t understand why it started, as if it was to stop me and Kal from joining the battle, but then the three of them started fighting, either in the sky or smashing themselves against the cliff. Shockwaves and bounced stones were flying through the air, but they seemed to be protected by something like a transparent round dome. Only when something hits it does it light up, confirming that there is protection there. "Thank you, Cal." I thank Cal, who has already been working for the protection. "It would be my great pleasure to be of service. You''re overreacting as usual, Sir Knight. He puts his hand on his chest and bows his head a little. I can only do it to return the gag. "I''m not good at stopping a continuous attack, I can''t do it. Thank you." I guess I''ll just have to work harder at raising my level of [warding]. The battle between the three dragons was a three-way fight, with the fire dragon and the green dragon both aiming at Parthin at the same time, and one biting the other when the other showed an opening to get at Parthin. I have a feeling that Paltin is the strongest, but the fire dragon and the green dragon are cunning and troublesome to fight. The green dragon does not seem to be as powerful as partins and fire dragons. Perhaps, it is so difficult to break through the scales of a parting dragon. Instead, its body is covered with poison, which limits the area that partins and fire dragons can touch. And it is going for the wounds that the fire dragon inflicts on partins and partins inflicts on fire dragons, and bites them. --Ah, poison. I look at Paltin and the fire dragon as they are slowing down. "Ha-ha-ha!¡¡It''s me, I''m the one who gets Paltin!" "You''re a green dragon with fangs that looks like decoration!¡¡Stay back!" The fire dragon slams its long, spiked tail into the green dragon, but it is clearly not fast enough. "Grasha the fire dragon, I will be the strongest dragon after I take your heart!" "Shut up!¡¡I am the strongest dragon!" "The strongest dragons are not like you--" "Ah." I who raise my voice to the words of the three animals who argue with each other. "Is something wrong ......?" Before Cal could finish, a black bullet flew out of my chest. "I guess we should have fought the most powerful dragon-banning word." I guess it''s safe to say that it was the dragon that got into the fight. ....... I have Pertin promise not to say that he is the strongest dragon on the condition that he comes to my island, but I can''t make all the dragons promise. Besides, fire dragons and green dragons are the type that will definitely talk as soon as you talk to them. Bahamut easily slips through both of them, and looks back at me bloody with what looks like two hearts in his mouth. Parthin is frozen in the sky. "It''s a result of the way things were meant to be. ...... I am thinking that I can fly without flapping my wings, and I am making excuses to no one. 340 - - The Image of the Dragon Bahamut soared high into the air and soon returned to me. It was bigger than usual because it had two hearts in its mouth. And covered in blood. "Bahamut." For now, I''m going to use and of [Life Magic]. Okay, clean! "...... scratches?" On Bahamut''s forehead, which is supposed to be smooth, I found a faint scar that I don''t recognize. Were those two dragons really that hard? Gently touching the wound with his fingertip, he applies a to Bahamut. This time, I was indeed able to get M! is not so empty. To Bahamut, it may be less serious than a scraped kneecap, but just in case. "Hmm?" After healing the wound, Bahamut looks at me and stretches his neck a little. "You''ll give it to me?" When I ask him, he sticks out the heart in his mouth as if to say yes. I''m not sure I want a dragon''s heart in my mouth. No, it says "material for strengthening weapons and armor. Is it a flag to create a dream dragon slayer?¡¡No, there is one more thing that can strengthen it. "Eating a dragon makes it stronger, doesn''t it?¡¡I''d be more than happy to have Bahamut by my side as he grows stronger." Bahamut tilts his head and looks like he is thinking. There are two types of dragon species and certain races to be strengthened. I think Reno might be one of them, but please refrain from eating the heart because I''ll serve you a cake later. "Yes, Bahamut is strong as it is, but... --Well, can I have one?¡¡The one in front. I''ll have you build me a weapon with it." The one in front is the heart of a fungus dragon. I''m a little worried that Bahamut might get a food-bite if I feed it to him, and I think it would be just ...... right to give it to Luba. Thank you." I receive the heart of the moldy dragon, thinking that, aside from Bahamut, I am often covered in blood. It is still beating, but the blood is only dripping, and the size of the heart is huge in both hands. Come to think of it, Paltin is also smaller than his usual dragon form, isn''t he? "Piggy!" When I receive one, it swallows the remaining one and squeals. I have obtained the title [Slayer of the Fire Dragon of Cruelty] for my first solo slaying. I got the reward for my first solo defeat, a fire dragon''s scales of cruelty. I am pleased to announce that Grasshopper, the fire dragon, has been defeated solo. I got 5 fangs of Grasya the Fire Dragon. I got the wings of Grasya the Fire Dragon x5. I got the sword of Glasha the Fire Dragon. I got the magic stone of Glasha the Fire Dragon. I got the red jade of Glasha the Fire Dragon. I got the orb of fire enhancement. I got the heart of Glasha the Fire Dragon. was used to strengthen a pet. I got the title [Slayer of the Green Dragon of Racism] for my first solo slaying. I got the reward for my first solo defeat, . I am pleased to inform you that <> has been defeated solo. I got the green dragon Taral''s claws x5. I got the skin of Taral the Green Dragon x5. I got a jar of Taral the Green Dragon. I got the magic stone of Taral the Green Dragon. I got the green balls of Taral the Green Dragon. I got the orb of poison enhancement. I have the Heart of Taral the Green Dragon. Bahamut back to <> . I succeed in putting <> once more on Bahamut, who jumped into my chest. I will polish it slowly later. The title is a bit disturbing. The item from the fungus dragon is poison, and I should sell it to Peter. I''ll read the description later and decide. And what''s a jar? "Luba, take this to ......." When I turn around, I see people standing stiffly behind me. <. "You really are Bahamut the Dragon King. ......" Reno mutters. "...... I was on the diagram, sir." Cal looks up at the sky with a subtly sad look on his face and mutters a few words. --Ah. That''s the defense, Bahamut broke it from the inside!¡¡I see, that''s the reason for the scar on Bahamut''s forehead. If he breaks through Kal''s defense and then double blows, he''s bound to get a scratch or two. They are both famous dragons, after all. Should I say to him, "I think Kal is strong enough," or should I say, "Know your setbacks!¡¡Then you will be stronger!" or some other goofy line. After a long hesitation, he decides to leave it alone. I''m more interested in Nalun, who was out of my sight for a moment, lying flat on the ground like a sleepy hamster. He doesn''t respond, but I hand him the heart, which he takes as he stands there looking at the moldy dragon. He silently looks down at the heart in his hand. I''m sorry, I''m so emotionless for my best friend''s enemy. "Are you okay?" I called out to Nalung, <> to myself, and he jumped. But he didn''t get up. I reached out to look at his face, and his face turned a deep blue and he jerked up. Fatty sweat on his forehead. --I suspected he was playing dead. "Homura, please don''t push old Narn too hard." "Reno, I don''t know what you''re talking about. I was just trying to take care of you. I think it''s terrible. Why are you pretending to be dead? And wouldn''t it be effective if they know you are pretending to be dead? I mean, the only time it is effective to pretend to be dead is when there are many other dead bodies. There were two dead bodies of ...... dragons, but they disappeared after the announcement was made. "I don''t know why old Narn was afraid of Homra more than he should have been. He even changed his original plan to have two one-on-one battles with an interval. It must have been quite a burden to coordinate the forces between the three of them. Reno explains, but the first thing I didn''t know was that Narn was coordinating the power of the three animals. No, but I guess that <> is also an ability manipulation system between the two of them. I glance at the ring finger of his right hand, which is hidden by his glove. Narun seems to be stronger than I had thought, or to have special abilities. The image of him as a pudgy dragon, who never listens to what others have to say, and the image of him as a pudgy dragon, comes to my mind, but I think he must be an amazing dragon, if I think about it calmly. "Nalun is adjusting..." "What was that?¡¡Was that the Dragon King? I was about to ask him when Paltin came down in front of me. A girl with wings spread on her back and golden hair fluttering in the wind. Her eyes, which remind me of the fear of the wild, have lost their usual intensity, and the sparkle in them makes her look much prettier. "I don''t know the Dragon King of our time, but he''s Bahamut the Dragon King." By the way, I already experienced this at the event, and I know that it is impossible to control Paltin in this situation and make him listen to me. I give up and turn to Paltin. "Bahamut!" He crosses his fingers next to his face and calls my name happily. "Ah. I can''t make you a wife, but will you be Bahamut''s servant?" "Sure!" Paltin, instant decision. "What, Mr. Paltin? Reno is upset, but it''s the second time, so it''s quicker to talk. The first time, I resisted him, too, but eventually I was hit again with an armbar reverse cross ....... I should spend some skill points to get something in the body art field.¡¡Thanks to Cal''s help, I''ve got a couple of body art classes. I wonder if I can beat Kal and Paltin at least once in the body art if I get them and raise my level. No, I would be strong too if I had the skills of my profession. "Bahamut is my pet......, no, keep......, no, he is my guardian dragon, so he is subject to my domination, is that ok?" I know the answer, but I''m going to ask. Every time I hesitate to say something, the fallen Nalun jumps out of the corner of my eye.¡¡Bing!¡¡I''m worried about that. "I don''t mind as long as I can stay by the side of Bahamut-sama!" "Hey, ......!¡¡Think about it!" Reno rushes to stop her, but Parthin is a runaway maiden when he sees a dragon far stronger than himself. "It''s the strongest dragon I know. Thinking about it won''t change her mind. In fact, it didn''t. "But ......!" Reno is trying to talk to Paltin. "His dark body, his toughness that defies the poison of the green dragon and the heat of the fire dragon." Parthin, who is being spoken to, is not listening. "--<> has already been used up, and the defensive skills that can be acquired are inferior to those that can be learned now. I never thought I would realize my lack of experience until I came to ......." Cal stands there looking at the area where the defensive dome used to be. His arms hanging down, fists clenched tightly. No, Cal?¡¡Because if Cal was inexperienced, it would look like a bad knight across the board, right? I don''t feel like I can stop Bahamut at all, and I don''t intend to. I think Bahamut is cute in his bullshit strength. "Homura, will you accept this sword?" Luba, who had remained frozen, looks at me. He places the green dragon''s heart on the ground and sheathes his sword. It is more Fuso-style and more like a sword than the one he had given me before. The blade is dull, but it looks as if it will never break. The sword of my friend, the sword to which I gave my life!¡¡With this it will leave my hand and become the mightiest of swords!" The sword is swung by Luba straight down into the heart of the green dragon. Ruba''s face turns red as if he were a demon god as he swings down, and the sword, filled with all his strength, breaks the heart with a loud crack. The splattered blood of the green dragon turns into a particle of light before it makes a red stain somewhere. The light is more dazzling than that of a demon turning into a particle of light. When the light subsides, the sword in Luba''s hand is transformed. ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ...increase... Title [Slayer of the Fire Dragon of Cruelty Title [Slayer of the Green Dragon of Malice ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ ¡õ 341 - - In the Living Room of the General Store The dull-colored blade shines faintly, giving the mysterious impression of being wet black or flaming white. The curved single-edged blade is wide for a Japanese sword and thin for a sword. --A beautiful sword. "The current rank (?????) is 1, [indestructible]. When the number of demons slain reaches a certain number, it can be strengthened. When you can strengthen it, gather the strengthening materials and bring them to me, and I will strengthen it." Luba says. "Thank you." For a moment I hesitated whether I should accept the sword, but then I realized that it was for me. To hesitate would be to make Luba feel nothing. I think I have inadvertently acquired the final weapon before I use the , but I will use that sword in the party when I reach the proper level. There''s the problem of only playing wizard in the party, though! "At the beginning and at multiples of 10 of the rank, the item can be strengthened to have special effects. The maximum number of effects that can be applied is six in total." It is a must to use the <> with the [Zanmagic Growth]. No, if the sword itself can be strengthened, another one can also be used. ....... I''m not sure about the [Equipment Restriction Removal], since I changed my job to a black-and-white swordsman and I can add up to 30 ranks to my level for swords and staffs. As a wizard, the restrictions on swords are tighter, and as a mage, the level and the ranks of swords and staffs that can be equipped are the same. The wizard swordsman can equip the same ranks of sword and staff as the wizard. A list of special effects and their corresponding items is given to the wizard, written in ink on a piece of votive paper, and can be found in the menu. Ruba is also a good calligrapher, though not as good as Koume. When I looked at the blade in front of me and examined it, I found that the sword is called . There is a description of the materials used to strengthen the sword, such as demon fangs for basic attack power and bones for durability. It seems that items of the same rank or higher as the sword are required, and the number of items is ten times the number of the sword''s rank. I have a lot of items that I couldn''t sell, so it seems that I won''t have a problem with strengthening materials for a while. "I''m going to get all the items and ask for reinforcement as soon as possible." He bows his eyes to Luba and delivers the . "I''ll be waiting." Luba laughs in short answer. "Bahamut-sama ......." "Master Parthin, calm down!" This one is over, but Paltin and Reno are still fussing, and Narn continues to play dead. "Pertin, I don''t mind if you come to the general store in human form once in a while, but if you come to the island..." If the gold dragon comes as a dragon, the general store will physically collapse. No, the land around ...... would be cleared in Kal''s defense. I still say no. Cal, let''s go home. "Yes, Lord." Cal, who had been standing still, turns to me in a flash and replies. "Good work, Luba. Reno, let''s go home first. It is a mystery to me whether Ruba has fulfilled his true desire after that, but it is over for now. Ruba is sent back to Fuso. "I thought that with the death of the Green Dragon, I would lose my goal and become as lethargic as before. ....... Aside from the joy of defeating an enemy, the existence of the Green Dragon seems to be less important than I thought when it comes to swordsmanship. Ruba says before going through the torii gate in the precincts of the shrine. --The transition gate of Fuso is within the precincts of the shrine. "I will train hard so that I will not be overtaken. It would be unbecoming if I could not strengthen the sword I have made. Luba smiles pleasantly. <. My character is such that I will be working hard to defeat demons and raise the rank of my sword, so I hope you will do your best. "Take the ore and sake with you!" We give them the materials here and there. The production workers of the residents I have met produce and level up with the requests and materials brought by the players. Well, even without that, I hope Luba will continue his blacksmithing. After all, Luba looks happy when he is thinking about blacksmithing, even though he has a difficult face. When we first met, Luba was depressed. He continued to strike the sword he wielded to slay the green dragon, and as a result, he made a name for himself as a blacksmith. The price of his swords rose with his fame, and the only people who came to him were those who wanted to display the sword of <. No one has come forward to claim the sword as their own. But I''m sure that Luba was beating his sword before the Green Dragon appeared. Perhaps he was enjoying it as he is now. I think the reason for his depression is that his purpose has been changed to avenging his enemies. There may be some decorations, but I suspect that he became bitter because he could no longer strike purely for the sake of it. I want to enjoy doing what I love without any hassle. "Thank you. Let''s drink today in memory of our friends. We see Luba off as he walks through the torii gate and down the stairs. "I guess we''re done here." "Yes." Cal gave me a brief word of advice. I feel warm and a little sad, and I also have a strange feeling of warmth and a little sadness, knowing that Ruba''s long-held feelings have been settled. "I''m home." But now is the time when the store is open, and there is no one on the third floor. I thought so, but Merlin was there. "My Lord! I congratulate you on your safe return. Merlin appears, placing his right hand on top of his left, lifts it to chest level, and bows his head. The exaggerated phrasing seems to be normal operation. I heard a loud noise next to me and looked to see a smiling Kal. I look back at Merlin to see if it is just my imagination, but he is smiling a smile of his own. What? "Nothing is safe, I''m just standing here. We have a little while before we close. Let''s have some tea." With the voices of customers coming through the stairs, I enter the living room of the liquor store. I''ve asked Trinh to do some renovations, but he says it will be a while before he gets around to it. I hear that there are more and more gentiles who own their own houses or clan houses, so there is a waiting list. We sit on the living room sofa and are served a baked cheesecake as a snack. Baked in a hot oven, the surface is caramelized until it turns black, and when you cut it open with a knife, the cross section is moist and very pale yellow. The cream and sweet and sour berry sauce is served in a small jar to pour over as much as you like. "Thank you, Lord!" Tea is brewed by Cal. "Thank you. Thanks to you too, Cal." I thank him and take it. Unlike me, who was just there, he had worked in defense. He doesn''t look tired at all, but I would like to thank him for accompanying me. And you, Mr. Merlin. "Since when did you become such a man of your word ......?" Merlin looks at the tea and kalu placed in front of him with a scowl on his face. "Dru congratulates me on this." Cal smiles in answer. Come to think of it, Dulu also presided over the family ......?¡¡Is that why you''re so good at making tea?¡¡But I have a feeling that he was always a bit of a hard-working guy. "No, wait. No, wait. That''s a lot of ......." Merlin is drawing on the plate in front of Cal. The cake on the plate is one piece for me, one for Merlin, and the rest for Cal. "Wasn''t Dragonut the only one who devours sweetness ......!¡¡You''ve never been interested in food in general!" Sorry to burst your bubble, but that''s not much, Merlin. "Everything the Lord makes is delicious." You don''t eat carrots, Cal replies with a smile. The sweetmeats in the cupboard have normally decreased while I was away, but did you eat them without Merlin''s knowledge?¡¡Did you want to hide it? ....... "I admit this dish is delicious, but ....... "I''m a man who doesn''t care what it tastes like as long as it''s well-presented." Mumbling, Marlin takes a bite and adds more berry sauce. Cal adds more cream. He does not put sugar in the cream, but he seems to like the texture of the cream. The baked cheesecake is softly fragrant with vanilla beans, and the rich but light cream cheese fills the mouth, leaving a slight lemon taste at the end. The cake is quite tasty and goes well with tea. According to Kikuhime, it also goes well with wine, but I''ll leave that to the drinkers. After finishing the cake, I ask Cal to make another cup of tea and look at the window. I ask Cal to make me another cup of tea and look at the window to check the titles and items I have received, but I am not sure what they are anymore. The effects of the titles "Slayer of the Cruel Fire Dragon" and "Slayer of the Vicious Green Dragon", which are the first solo titles, are slight recovery in the fire realm and the poison realm, respectively. The [Fire Suppressor] already halves the damage from fire-attribute types and nullifies damage effects from climate such as scorching heat and terrain such as lava, but this one is location-specific?¡¡A trap that finally heals. Gyakurescale is an item that calls up the phantom of the dragon once every seven days. I don''t think I need ....... No, wait, it seems that if you place a dragon corresponding to <>, it can be strengthened. The romance of the dragon dungeon. ......¡¡I want a labyrinth. For the time being, let''s raise the level of [Change Demon] and prepare for when we get it. The orb is still a reinforcement. Unlike <>, which increases the basic ability of the orb, it does not enhance the basic ability of the orb. It can enhance the attribute of any target, though the enhancement is small. Usually, attributes cancel each other out, so the number of attributes that can be enhanced is limited. For example, if a fire attribute is 100 and a water attribute is strengthened, the fire attribute tends to be reduced, resulting in a fire attribute of 60 and a water attribute of 5, and so on. It is normal to strengthen the equipment if it is in conflict with one''s own attribute. My most peculiarity is probably that I have all [favorites] and can accept each attribute without offsetting each other. Poison does not have much of an offsetting effect, though. So I will use it on myself as soon as possible. <. Kikuhime fights with a wide sword and uses it as a shield, so I don''t think she needs a sword, even if it is a large sword.¡¡Galahad is also a big sword lover, and although Eagle has the fire attribute, I think that perhaps a different attribute would be more suitable. We should ask Kikuhime and Eagle about it, and if they say they don''t want it, we should sell it to the Flame King. was a poison pot. It is said that the poison can be collected once a day. Hmmm... What special effect should I put on the sword that Luba gave me? The effects on the list are so varied, from the unusable ones (like a glass of water) to the ones that are very effective but have strict activation conditions. I exclude the great moves from the list, because there are the "Great Sword of Verus" and the "Great Sword of Asha Sweep". I am tempted to use [Weapon Retention] and overkill all the great techniques of all the weapons at once, but first of all, practicality is the most important factor. I will think about it when I have more slots. "Is something wrong?" Cal asked me if I was making a difficult face. "No, I was wondering about a special effect to put on the sword that Luba gave me. "That''s why you looked so happy." I suspect he was the one with the smirk on his face!¡¡I''m a little embarrassed. "Luba, you mean ?¡¡I heard you retired because you were fed up with the mundane world. --I see, so you pulled him out in exchange for the green dragon. Marlin nods to himself. "Putting aside the Sword of Verus, is not my master a wizard like me?" "I''m a magic swordsman." They call me a magic de swordsman, but I''m a magic swordsman by lineage. He is a magical swordsman, you know? "......" Merlin gets a frown on his face. "Even with Merlin''s help, can''t you see or read the Lord''s current status?" Cal lets out a rare chuckle. "......" Merlin looks at Cal with a vacant stare, a hint of cunning that belies his apparent age. And Cal, a man of indeterminate age, continues to laugh regardless. No, why would my profession do that to me? 342 - - a thing called {340.} "Welcome back, Lord." "Welcome home, Lord." Lapidus and Noel are in the room at a quick pace. "Good night." They came up to me with smiles on their faces and patted me on the head. LAPIS sticks his head out as if he wants me to pet him, so I fluff him up without hesitation. Noel also tilts his head to an angle that is more comfortable for petting. Noel''s head is more moist than fluffy. I wonder if I should take the time to fluff the base of his ears and behind his ears in the midst of the noise. "Oh, it''s done, it''s done. --Geez." Galahad, who has been following leisurely behind me, looks around the room and gives me a disapproving look. "?" I wonder what it is and follow his gaze. Cal and Merlin, who have not moved an inch, face each other with smiles on their faces. I can almost hear gogo-gogo in the background. Cal and Red Plum are in a subtle tension.¡¡I wonder if the life of a knight, or perhaps the life in a castle, is so long that it is hard to feel at ease unless the top and bottom are decided. I let it go because it was too much trouble, and it had been quite some time since I was thinking about what effect to put on the <>. Had they been glaring at each other for a long time? "I don''t know if they get along or not." Merlin''s grandiose attitude toward me is not out of any particular respect for me. It may be that he prefers theatrical and exaggerated gestures, but more than half of the time he seems to enjoy watching Cal''s reactions. "You should pay a little more attention!" Galahad protests to me in a whisper. "No, you two have known each other longer than I have." It seems impertinent for me to intrude between old friends. "I have a baked cheesecake for you. "I''ll eat." Galahad answers shortly, and Lapidus and Noel look as if they are about to send flowers flying. Galahad seems to have given up on them too soon and decides to leave them alone. Another hole is opened. Is one quarter too much?¡¡For the time being, I cut it into sixths and added whipped cream and berry sauce. "Would you like another cup of tea, sir?" Cal smiles as if nothing happened. "Yes, please." I thought they were staring at each other, but they switch so quickly. I put the extra cheesecake on Cal''s plate, trusting that he would definitely have a second helping, though I wondered if I should have chosen a different cake if he had joined us. Merlin is looking at Cal with a strange look in his eyes. He didn''t know, or rather, was hiding it, that he likes sweets, but it''s a common sight in the grocery store, so you''d better get used to it. "Do you have any skills that require good luck ......?" Marlin looks thoughtful with a wrinkled brow. The wrinkles between his eyebrows are a habit he had when he was an old man, or perhaps it is because he has deep vertical wrinkles even in his current child form. He could be a little more lively. Meat is for strength (STR), grain is for endurance (VIT), and tea is for intelligence ( INT), vegetables are for spirit (MID), eggs are for dexterity ( DEX), fish is speed (AGI), and sweetness is luck ( LUK). Does Cal use any skill that can be used with high luck?¡¡--Are there skills that can be used by not eating carrots? I think of a strange thing from a fragment of Merlin''s story and watch them eat. Merlin''s brow is still wrinkled, and his eyes are narrowed as he looks at Cal, as if searching. "Lord, it''s delicious!" Lapidus swallows the baked cheesecake and says happily. "You''re wearing it again!" He wipes the cream from Lapidus'' cheek. It''s cute to see him munching with cream on the edge of his mouth, but what about his family''s discipline?¡¡I don''t know about that. Lappis are full of cream and low in sauce. The sauce on his cheeks is probably because he hasn''t quite worked out how much to put on his cheeks yet. It''s delicious. It''s lemon, right?" Noel likes less cream and less sauce, or does he like the flavor of lemon? "Tasty, every time." Galahad has a sweet tooth. I drink the tea he brews me. It is a beautifully colored tea with a strong red color and a pleasant aroma without any peculiarities. I am thankful that when I drink it with white, I tend to go for berries. The comfortable sofa, the inextinguishable tableware chosen by Foss, the orange light of dusk streaming in through the patio window. It would be perfect if Camilla and Eagle came back here. "Foster son of the Knight of the Lake, you''re a sturdy fellow to snuggle beside me. Aside from the two toddlers, you know what I''m like. Merlin says, turning his attention only to Galahad. Lapidus and Noel move their ears. And then Galahad opens his mouth in a troublesome manner, as if to say, ah ....... "A great mage, a great sage, a sage of the forest ......, though I admit I was scared for nothing when he hardly showed himself and I didn''t know who he was." Not the Wise Man of the Forest, Galahad!¡¡You remind me of a gorilla!¡¡Galahad replies by putting his fork down on his plate. "You''re the Beast of Homura now, aren''t you?" Galahad tells Merlin with an indescribable look on his face. "Well, let me tell you something good about the adopted son of an old friend. <, it does not necessarily mean that you will continue to serve him. Especially the mythical creature that has become my nature is synonymous with treachery, along with the serpent of the end, Krulkan. Merlin with a wicked grin on his face. Kulkan peeking out of my cuff. "I didn''t call for you. You want some?" Did you call me?¡¡I whisper to him and serve him a small cookie. No?¡¡He looks around with a look like "I don''t know you...", then his eyes meet Marlin''s, and he rushes back into the sleeve. He quickly reappears, retrieves the cookie, and goes back inside. "I''d appreciate it if you''d refrain from eating them in your clothes." is there, but I''m in the mood for ....... Then black came out from the chest and stopped. "......" Ah, yes, cookies, right?¡¡When I bring it to my mouth, it sucks it into its mouth and goes back into my clothes. "I''d appreciate it if you''d refrain from eating in your clothes." Second time. Have I spoiled him too much? Oh, I''ll have to call Bahamut to polish it up. What was that? Merlin''s face turned suspiciously bad from earlier. "The Krulkan you named and the Aldovan from the temple of Sadiras are fused together, Mistiff. You know about Aldovarn anyway, don''t you?" Galahad with a grin. "I don''t understand." Merlin looks at my cuff and mutters without changing his expression. "Don''t play dumb with me. I''m just a sadistic ......." "Not you, I made that up. You should know that. --Kulkarukan? Merlin interrupts Galahad. I think there was a brief confession of past misdeeds. I wonder if it would be my responsibility as the current owner to pursue the matter: ....... "Did you not take the form of Kulk¨¢n yourself when you were playing against him?" I should have seen it, I think, but I ask. "It is not possible to see in oneself the illusion of another. Marlin answers shortly, keeping his gaze fixed on the cuff. Is it a specification that the person who uses it cannot see it? Also, he only gazes at her and doesn''t move his body much, either because he is an old man or because he is a warehouseman. "He has defeated Krulkan and is in control. The end serpent in search of knowledge, the essence of magic, wisdom ....... Bah, you idiot ......." Merlin mutters with a surprised look on his face. The second half of the muttering surprises me too!¡¡What is your perception of Nyoro?¡¡And Krulkan, stop showing your face and puffing your feathers!¡¡That tickles my wrist! "<><>>>>>, and now >. It has been confirmed that <> is in the forest where the elves live, and we are almost there, Lord." Cal tells me smilingly. "What? Merlin breaks the coagulation and looks at Cal. "Stop folding him in, old man!" Galahad says. "Wait, what''s a little more? "My immediate goal is to complete the <>." I offered my direction to Merlin, who seemed to be in something of a panic. "What ......?" "Oh, Marlin can just stay in the general store (here)." It''s a warehouse. I can summon people outside, but I have [storage], so I don''t need it. However, if they stay at the general store, they won''t be sold out right after the store opens, and more importantly, the general store''s warehouse will be almost unnecessary, which will make the room more spacious. It is becoming less common for the general store to be sold out right after opening, but it sometimes happens when a new dungeon is discovered or during an event. During the war of the empire, the sellouts were especially bad. I am not able to replenish the stock because of my wanderings, but I''ll give up on that. If I can produce and fill my Merlin with them, I can do better than I am doing now. Kal and Galahad have been very helpful in keeping the warehouse stocked with materials. Noel has improved a lot in the production of medicines. It seems that the materials in the warehouse are frozen until I check them, and even those who have permission to use the warehouse are not allowed to move them in and out. If we can directly sell the medicines Noel made for us-oh, the contents of the warehouse linked to ùw can be viewed from the menu! "Wait, you don''t want me to go out there?¡¡You are denying half of the functionality of the "Naira"." "No, it''s a tremendous help." You can replenish it from the outside. "You can call it out there!¡¡You may be short of what you need, but you will not be short of what you need if you are short of the items you need. "I have [storage], you know." It is useful because it can hold as much as I want. The contents are chaotic. "Hey, ......!" Marlin is giggling. "Oh--. Spider betrays ......, unconditionally evokes, I don''t think I can use it. Does my likelihood with you fade each time you evoke me?" Having experienced the escape of the genie, I have learned that once you have it, you can never be sure of its safety. The watering festival has calmed down, and I just came to apologize to the spirits with a gift the other day. I was a little sorry to think that the little genie was doing his best to give genie to the gentiles, but I was relieved to see that he seemed to be enjoying himself quite a bit. "......." "You''re absolutely lost. I know I may look a little pensive, but Homra is very perceptive and smart." Galahad says. I squirm a little at the hint of praise. "I understand the conditions under which a bond can be broken, but what is the opposite?" "The other way around?" If there are things that can break, there are things that can make them stronger, right?¡¡If it makes Merlin feel more comfortable, I''ll do my best to make that happen." If there are actions that decrease sensitivity, there will be actions that increase it. N.C.''s likability basically decreases when they are taken out to battle, except for those who have a belligerent character. However, it is well known that winning a battle increases the likability more than that. Also, you can give them items that are individually set for each character. "Hmm. All I want is pure water of high value, followed by a branch." Marlin looks away as if unfaithful and says, "I''m sorry, I''m sorry. "<>?" Galahad says with half-lidded eyes. "Galahad, your handwriting is terrible." "Whose fault is it, whose!" It''s my fault, isn''t it! 343 - - The Daily Scenes "I never thought <> would be so useful. ......" Puzzled, he offers < to Merlin for now. The name of the "garden" can be changed later, but the temple and others recognize <>, so it is fine to leave it as it is. It would be too much trouble to change it." It''s a "garden", so why not just use <>? By the way, the "garden" of ochazuke is and Peter''s is <>. Ochazuke" is the ochazuke connection, and "Peter" is the name of "a drum coated with poison, the beating of which is said to kill all who hear its sound. --< The name of the "garden" is very characterful. The other three did not seem to have gotten around to the "garden" and I think they gave it a name, but I have not heard about it because it was not mentioned. <>....... God,vessel....... A divine vessel!" < and looks into the cup, his eyes wide open. It seems strange to use the word "vessel" for water, but the work of the gods, both equipment and items, are labeled "sacred vessels". Merlin also seems to be able to make [appraisals]. Is this part of the warehouse function? "Deterioration depending on the container: ....... Deterioration...... not an ordinary glass cup!¡¡You poured the sacred water into a mere cup!" Merlin''s [appraisal] looks more detailed than my [appraisal], doesn''t it? The surface of the water in the cup is shaking and Merlin, who is holding it, is also shaking. Lapidus, Noel, and Galahad take the dishes down to the kitchen. The dishes are easy to wash because they are <. "I do have a [glassware], though," says Noel. I don''t have time to improve it." < I sometimes give out at the , but I''m thinking about it. In addition to EP recovery, the normal meal increases the corresponding ability: meat increases strength, egg increases dexterity, and so on.

The recipe for my < was not bought, but obtained through a special quest.

I''m afraid that I''ll be banned from the casino if I do anything more than this, even though I''ve already been pressured by my sister for wrecking the casino at the Lengard. I heard that the basic ability of luck usually doesn''t go up much compared to other abilities. When the players level up steadily and their basic skills improve, or when high-ranked recipes become available, the enemies to be defeated will become stronger and new games will be added to the casino, but for now, it is still too early to tell. In a normal game, it might not have bothered me too much, but in this game (iseikai), it is easy to cause conflicts with the residents if you stick out. What kind of a notion is it to name this water "garden water"! "Master Merlin, the water is only there because it is the Lord''s garden." Cal calmly remonstrates with Merlin, "I''m sorry, but I''m not so sure about the water in the garden. "Maybe we should go buy a special glass or something sometime." Gently look away and go off topic. It would be best to drink directly from the fountain in the <>, but the man-hating Kuzunoha lives in the <>. I think it would not be good for the picture, and it would be appropriate to get a glass of a higher rank. If the rank of the vessel is low compared to the rank of the ingredients, it will deteriorate. It is impossible to get a sacred vessel, but you should get something better than a cup with a rating of 4. Most of the tableware in <> are of high rank, bought in Foss, the city of porcelain. I want people to be attached to <> and to their dishes, so I have a selection of dishes that will not disappear. "-The glass made by the elves is beautiful." Merlin drinks his water with an unconvinced look on his face. I feel like I''m being extorted for something that''s not readily available. No, it is in anticipation of the coming ships from the empire to the continent where the elves live. In Merlin''s hand, the cup of water turns into a fine pale light and disperses. The low-ranked dishes with a rating of 4 made by the inhabitants are the same as the ones that automatically come with the dishes when they are cooked in the game system. Although they are convenient because they do not require cleanup and do not generate waste, they seem a bit lonely in the house. "Good work, thank you." I call out to the three of them as they return from cleaning up. "Oh." Galahad flutters to his former seat. He serves the wine and begins to drink. Lapidus and Noel are happily on either side of me. They are leaning slightly and smiling, not putting any weight on me. I pat them both on the head and call Bahamut into my lap. "Pigyah!" When I served him a thick slab of roast beef, he took a bite and munched on it. Bahamut prefers steak to raw meat, but recently we found out that he also likes thick slices of roast beef. After finishing his meal, he puts < on and starts to clean up. Use a soft cloth like the one used to wipe a piano, and wrap it under the chin. I wipe the whole area, but when there is a particular area that needs to be wiped, Bahamut leans forward to appeal. "......" Merlin is looking at me with a terrific face, but I decide not to care. "Is this normal, you idiot!" "Give it up. <." Merlin shouts in panic, and Galahad throws in a few words. "<>!¡¡!¡¡Two of them already!¡¡Don''t tell me Hasfarn, Kuznoha, and Alice won''t come out at this rate too!¡¡Or rather, I have a feeling that the thing that should not come out at all is here right now! "It''s bad for the old man if you''re too angry." I am younger than you who now use offensive skills! Young Lapidus and Noel are quiet. Marlin is angry, and Kal is smiling and telling him off. Does the attack skill make you young again? Cal is too mysterious. "Speaking of which, does Merlin have any information about ?" is deep in the Lost Forest and we know where she is. is a fragment of the footprints of the alchemist who created him, but we don''t know the end of them, and has no information about where he is either. "Hm. < "Thank you." He sniffles and thanks Merlin for the information. "The creator of <>, the >, was fighting with the > over which was better, homunculus or automata (automata). Sometimes, they even made their works fight each other. Perhaps they sought ore to repair it. --I suppose you could say that automata are mad because they are broken. Merlin continues talking without looking at us. "I see, <>. If the repairs remain unfulfilled, the end of <>''s journey will be around the dwarves'' workshop. Considering the game variance, I had expected either the continent of the demons or the continent of the dwarves, but it seems to be the continent inhabited by dwarves. It seems to be a continent inhabited by dwarves. We can go to the other continent by getting a ride from Reno or Paltin. But - - "First . The gentiles will be going to the elven continent in droves." I''d like to be the first to get one if possible. "Lord, before that, there''s a victory party on the isle." "......, that too." And a promise to Christina. How would you like to dance? "I can''t dance, so I won''t dance, okay?" It would be cool to dance with a smart escort, but it''s a hassle. Why do we have to go to a place like the guest space in the first place? I''d like to be able to mingle in the eating area. "I think it would be safe for Miss Christina to dance a song for you. ......" "Yeah, after what happened at the last party. Homura didn''t leave us humiliated, but that faction will be at the party, not to mention the disgraced second prince, right?¡¡--If Lengard, the man who danced for us in the war, is the one who danced for you, you can''t touch him." Galahad''s follow-up to Kal''s words. "You fought with Nueh, but it was others who played an active role in the battle between people, wasn''t it?¡¡And I was at the forest tower." "What are you talking about after such a spectacular appearance?¡¡Give it up." I think it''s Cal''s fault for being so flamboyant! "Oh no, I remember the agony of being forced to memorize all that when I was a knight." Galahad smirks, enjoying my embarrassment. "Oh my God, ......." Think people can''t dance. ......! "If you like, I can show you how. The fourth floor here is spacious and ...... you can clean up after yourself, Mr. Merlin." "Hey!¡¡You want me to move my stuff? Merlin reacts to Cal''s words. Merlin scatters his own belongings even though his role is that of a warehouse. No, the fourth floor is just one large room with no separation between rooms, but how messy is it?¡¡Of course, it''s the same size as the third floor (here). And in such a short period of time. I mean, you''re the one who teaches?¡¡You were never that kind of character!¡¡Why do you even work like a chamberlain? "Heh." "No, I''m not!" "Ah. I hope Camilla comes back soon?" Galahad looks at me and says. "If you don''t come back, I won''t have anyone to dance with to practice. "That''s right." Galahad gives a short answer to my sigh. Cal and Merlin are not sure if they get along well or not. I guess they are friends in a fight, or something like that. I return Bahamut, who is yawning comfortably, to his home. It is shining like a mirror finish. 344 - - The Night of the assassin "So?¡¡Are you going to apply?¡¡I''ll just tell them, even though they''ll probably turn me down. "Yes, please." The room is minimally lit, further dimming the impression of a featureless man. He is in a residential area of Fast, in the Guild of Assassins, a place where he has a lot of things to do and consequently has been away from the guild for some time. The room is still dark even with the use of night vision, and the outlines are not clear. Is it not because of my skill, but because the background walls, fittings, and clothes are all in the same tone? My title, [Eye of Verus], detects deception, concealment, and falsehood. The title works because the man who opened the door for me and the people who stay in the shadows look different when I look at them. But John Doe in front of him remains featureless. Now that the room has been cleared out and it is just John Doe and myself, I can''t check it again, but it must be working. Hmm?¡¡I don''t think this face is real. Come to think of it, Peter also disguised his hair color as black in case he was detected. Is it something other than deception, concealment, or deception?¡¡Maybe he simply has a high skill level or an eye. Something black disappears from John Doe''s hand. What is it?¡¡I''ll ask Peter later. "Well. I''m almost sure he''ll say no, but before that, there''s no guarantee when he''ll respond." John Doe flutters his hand with the same expression on his face. His face is as emotionless as ever. I''m not wearing a mask, but I''m wearing a hand-me-down from Peter''s gear and I''m a ninja. No, well, maybe I''m just used to Gentiles (players) dressing funny... No, wait, it was so familiar that it didn''t seem strange to me, but is Peter''s outfit strange in this fake Europe? "Well, if they say no, it''s smart to give up. Assassins can''t complain about being killed if they run into each other at work. --You''re a lucky man, aren''t you? John Doe''s finger moves and a window opens. I see, that black thing is John Doe''s e-mail. I remember that Verna sent me a butterfly, and the positioning of the resident''s e-mail was a whisper of a spirit or something like that. "Hey ....... No, I''m not prying into <>. John Doe leans forward, stops, and leans back in his chair. Mr. Peter, your ironclad poker face is about to collapse, what kind of work do you usually do?¡¡The reason this place was cleared of people is because <> are involved, right? This won''t be exposed by me, will it?¡¡I''m sure John Doe will be fine, but I''m a little worried. I am a little relieved when I remember that I used to be unaware of the guild before I joined it. --Come to think of it, John Doe has seen right through me. He must have some kind of [eye] skill or title. Probably related to the gods. I get a work order form and go outside. It is night outside, but the darkness is thicker inside the assassins'' guild. As soon as I step outside, Peter invites me to a party. He is a black-haired work version with a fox mask. The fox mask was made by Kuzunoha with the right materials. The fox masks have a [recognition blocking] function, so I should wear one now that I''ve joined the party. I asked Peter to wait outside, since I could only accept jobs in the assassin''s guild solo. "Did you get it?" "I got it. I feel like I''m being doubly match-pumped." Match pumping, a method or act of self-staging. Recently, I learned that it is to light a fire with a match and extinguish it with water from one''s own pump. "Let''s get to cleaning up, shall we?" Peter smiles briskly. Cleaning up equals assassination. Tonight is assassination night for those who want to buy the house Roy and his friends are buying across the street from the general store. By the way, the client is anonymous, but it''s Ochazuke. < To request a nomination, reply to the mail sent by the guild or select the quest from the menu. The same is true for adventurers'' guilds and production guilds, but usually, after receiving a request, there is a process of going to talk to the client directly. In the case of assassination requests, there is no such process, and the work is done without seeing each other. I saw Peter at the corner of the street and knocked on the door of the assassin''s guild right after he received the request so that other players would not receive it. Since they are waiting for each other, it is only natural that they respond quickly and that they receive a reply of permission. The destination is the store and workshop of the former across the street from the . Our entry route is through the roof, but the tiles have fallen. "This place is more shabby than I thought." It''s nice and easy to get inside the building, but I didn''t expect the back side to be so damaged. "I was told that the destroyed player''s base will be destroyed even in the correct timeline, just as items used during the event will not be returned," he said. I heard it''s a gradual process because the event "never happened" for the residents. "By the way, I think Roy and his friends were saying that it costs money to repair their base: ......" < side. I see...it is broken from the direction where it was exposed to the yellow dragon''s breath brought out by the black lilies. "I heard it''s cheaper than the usual restoration, but it''s a lot of work..." Peter says in a tone of voice that does not sound like much work at all. He is a little far away, but he puts his fox mask back on and braces himself for the presence of others. Peter: You''re going to be a great ninja! Homura: I like the equipment you gave me. The good thing about drop goods is that some of them can be equipped regardless of the size of the character. Peter has got a higher rank of ninja-specific equipment. Homura: Is this an abandoned house expedition? Peter: It''s rougher than the last time I was here. Homura: Leo seems to like exploring abandoned houses. Peter: Please don''t invite me, I won''t be able to do my job. Certainly when Leo mixes it up, it goes in the other direction. Leo is supposed to be a ninja, too: ....... Peter: Sometimes there are guards on patrol, so be careful. Homura: Yes, yes! During the transitional period when the area was transformed from a slum to a commercial district for gentiles, there were many patrols of vacant houses. < and attack them. I am sorry for this, so I sometimes bring in some food to the guard station. Now that we are inside the building, we switch conversation. Some of the walls are beginning to crumble, and there are places where you can almost step through the floor. Or rather, there is a visitor who has stepped through. Homura: If you''re using this house, why don''t you pay to fix it up? You just use the place and don''t pay for it. Peter: You have to be the owner of the place! Homura: That''s true. Peter: I''ve used it a lot as a hunting ground, so I''ll donate a little to Roy and his friends. Homura: I heard they are going to clear the land once? Peter: If it breaks down this much, why don''t we just let it fall apart cleanly and save on demolition fees? Homura: Speaking of which, how do you determine the time? Peter: It''s time for your knight to take a bath! Homura: What? How did you know what time to take a bath?¡¡Cal''s chase!¡¡No, but-- Homura: I don''t think the bath is physically visible from here: ...... Peter: Phew! Two black ninjas creep noiselessly toward the shadows moving silently by the window. I am dressed in black, but my hair is still white. My fox mask and [Utsuroshin] are very active. I haven''t done much for the Assassins'' Guild, but I have [transport], so it''s not hard for me to move without making a sound. But it seems that during the events of the large-scale battles, he has been killing residents and gentiles, and his achievements as an assassin have been increasing without his being aware of it. During the event, I was not counted as having assassinated , and I did not have any titles or guild skills, but my achievements were outstanding. I was completely unaware of the assassination achievement until I went to the assassin''s guild a while ago. I mean, was it an assassination? ....... Before I get to the room I want to go to, I sink one of the prowlers who was walking around. As I get closer, I hear a low rumbling, as if crawling on the ground, which makes me feel restless. Homura: How many are there? Peter: A lot of people whispering, it''s quite horrifying, isn''t it? "This place is ......." "Here''s an angle from here: ......" "Master Blue Knight''s room: ......!" "Oh, that edge of the glass!" "Mr. Lengard''s room has no light. "The rumors that have been circulating are definitely a trap, just a trap!" "If there''s a 0.001% chance I''d like to see a knight in hot water." A lot of people are swarming to the window, who look like they are loud and excited at maximum whispering. What are those wall-to-wall skills?¡¡A gecko?¡¡Literally, black shadows are shimmering around the windows from above and below. I''m afraid the whole wall is going to slam into the street. Homura: You don''t mind if we tear this building down, do you? Peter: Please feel free to w Homura: <> Peter: Hey! Smile and wipe out . Peter: What if there are guards? Homura: Ah. Peter''s words stop the meteor rain. --Too late! I and Peter are floating on the rubble with the magic I cast on us. The crumbling wall that rattles and crackles, the floor that is clean through and piled with debris and no shadow. Homura: Well, I stopped early. ....... Peter: Two N! They''re buried somewhere around the www. Homura: ....... Peter points to a spot where a piece of crumbling debris has been moved. Homura: Oh, there''s Roy. They move the debris out of the way and find Roy pinned under two guards in armor. Peter: Ah. Did you pick up on the rumor and bring the guards with you? Homura: Too much bean Peter: a person who lost a battle by being wound up on the World Wide Web. I''m sorry, I didn''t do it on purpose. I just poured out a lot of revival medicine I got at the casino. "Ugh. ......" The two guards and Roy cringe as their wounds disappear cleanly. Homura: Okay, that''s settled! Peter: awww, that''s too rough.
