120 - - The Place of the Clan House

"Well, Fagat's Island was nice, but expensive."

"For convenience, I'd say Gears or Baron."

Ochazuke and Peter are talking about clan houses.

The advantages of the Gears Baron are buying, selling, and moving. Fagat had two types of islands: a picturesque southern island with blue seas and palm shades, and a dwarf-like island with giant plants welcoming you.

Now we are looking around for places where we can build houses with <>. 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 + α. 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.
