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.
