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!
