Chapter 9: In the First Village (2) *

Chapter 9: In the First Village (2) * Underwear is uncomfortable.

I don't know about panties, but bras are definitely uncomfortable.

This is because it is a garment that is fastened tightly to prevent the chest from moving. It's natural.

Because a bra keeps your breasts from bouncing around, it is sometimes more comfortable to wear underwear during some activities, such as exercising.

However, in most everyday life, it is more comfortable not to wear a bra.

So, I also tend not to wear a bra when I don't have to meet people.

That's true when you don't have to meet anyone.

"...!"

As soon as I noticed the gaze, I covered my chest with both arms.

Did you see it? It must have been clear from the reaction.

My breasts were big enough to push up my clothes, and the thin fabric was too light to keep my nipples from sticking out.

My face was red as if on fire and my head was confused.

Why is Runon here?

No, if you think about it, it wasn't that strange.

In the first place, I was the one who thought that just because the restaurant was busy, the inn would also be busy, and no one said that.

Since Sophie came to work at the restaurant, someone may have come to the inn to help. Or maybe the inn wasn't particularly busy to begin with.

I was just guessing and letting my guard down.

Okay. I understand that.

Why am I so embarrassed?

This is just a game.

The goblin I killed during the day, and Runon, who is here now, are just illusions created by machines, and at the very least, my body is not really mine.

And this isn't the first time I've come across such an unexpectedly sexy situation while playing WM.

Rather, there were many cases where we encountered each other while naked.

But for some reason, I feel more embarrassed than when I was naked. Is it because I was completely caught off guard, thinking nothing would happen?

After an awkward moment passed, I left awkwardly.

Even after I got to my room and got dressed properly, I couldn't hear any sound outside the room.

In the end, Runon didn't move from that spot until Sophie, who followed him later, asked him to bring some things and slapped him on the back, asking why he was idling around.

And it was embarrassing to sleep in the same room as Sophie at night and answer her when she asked what happened.

The next morning. I woke up to the sound of bustling movement outside.

It was still dark outside the window. It was time for the morning sun to slowly rise.

After all, if you work at an inn, mornings come early~ I groomed myself with that sentiment in mind.

Even though it's called grooming, it's just a clean spell in the morning. Anyway, it's so annoying. I also feel sleepy.

"Oh. Did we wake it up? "I'm sorry."

Learning from yesterday's mistake, I dressed properly and left the room to find her aunt busy preparing breakfast.

"I was so busy yesterday that I couldn't even thank you properly. Thank you for saving Runon. I was told not to go because the atmosphere in the forest is not good these days, but I don't know why... We are paid according to the amount of work done at our store. I'm really worried and don't know what to do. I was curious about what they were saving up so much money for, so I asked them, but they didn't give me a proper answer. Go somewhere on holidays. Oh my, does this mean he has a girlfriend? How many times will you need money without even telling your parents about it? Okay. When I think about it, the atmosphere with Sophie has been a bit suspicious lately. The number of things we do together has increased. No matter how old you are as a childhood friend, you are not old enough to stick around like that. Hey, it's Soira. What do you think..."

"I'm going to exercise in the morning! Because I'm an adventurer, my body is important!!"

I desperately left the place.

Lived I almost got caught up in her lady talk.

Whatever Runon's situation is, what does it have to do with me? He may be a bit of a light gossip, but I don't want to get involved and give myself a headache in the morning.

Leave the inn grounds and run lightly through the village.

It had no meaning as an exercise.

The agility value set when creating the character is 12. It is roughly equivalent to the agility of a professional athlete.

Although the ability values ??are not exact, the corresponding ability value of a person who maintains his or her physical strength is approximately 10, 11 is an amateur level, 12 is a professional player, and 13 is the top level of humanity. From 14 onwards, it can be said that it has surpassed human capabilities.

The higher you go, the wider the range included in one ability score becomes and the more difficult it is to raise it. Level 12 is extremely difficult to raise with normal exercise.

Since magical power exists in this world, the upper limit of what a human body can do is also high. And since it is a game in the first place, it is not impossible to increase your agility by increasing your skill level through running...

"It's inefficient."

It's really inefficient.

Perhaps the travel distance to increase your abilities by running would be shorter than the travel distance to find an item that increases your abilities.

"Oh~ Soira! Do you exercise too?"

So, while I was running with the feeling that I was exploring the village rather than exercising, I met Kiven.

"What. That's it. Kiven, you too?"

"Of course! You can't become a soldier without basic physical strength!"

Kiven answers cheerfully while running to the point where he is slightly out of breath.

Just like yesterday, it seemed like he was training quite seriously.

Where can I see how hard you worked?

We took a look at Kiven's abilities using the status function, which is a player's privilege.

Let's see... Oh. Is it pretty?

His physical abilities, strength and stamina, were 12, and his agility was 11. His intelligence was just average at 10 and his magic power was actually 9, but he wasn't a knight, and he wouldn't require magic power from an ordinary soldier. You could say he is an excellent talent.

When I first met him, I was a bit prejudiced and tried to keep my distance because he had blonde hair and bronze skin, but after meeting him yesterday and today, I found out that he was just an ordinary, sincere and nice person.

"Kiven, do you run at this time every day? "It's quite early."

"Yes. You are here at this time too, right? "Isn't this normal?"

"No, I don't usually run like this... "I just woke up early today because it was a bit noisy."

"Noisy? Ah, you almost got caught by the lady too? When I was young, I used to get sometimes caught when I stayed at Runon's house."

"You didn't say it was noisy."

"It's similar. Something similar."

Kiven, who had been running together while joking for a while, slowly slowed down and stopped after running for a while.

"This is Runon's inn, right? Do you have anything to see Runon?"

The place where I stopped is where I started. In other words, it was an inn.

"No? This is just my morning exercise course. "After running around the village, we come here, have breakfast, and then head back."

"Hmm."

Is it true that eating protein right after exercising is effective?

It could be because I'm just running, and I'm hungry.

Since the time was just right, I decided to eat together.

Three days passed like that, hanging out with the three of Runon, Kiven, and Sophie.

I wanted to leave the village as quickly as possible, but there was nothing I could do with the time.

This is because it took three days to raise the adventurer rank from F to E even if the quest was completed as efficiently as possible.

This time does not decrease in any other town or city. Rather, it can be said that three days is short.

So, I decided to spend the time I needed anyway in this town where there were many familiar faces, so I spent three days here.

As explained before, a rank F adventurer is closer to an adventurer or village errand boy. There, if you are recognized for your combat ability and ability to carry out the minimum request, you will be promoted to E rank.

This means that you can receive monster extermination requests or not-so-dangerous escort requests starting from E rank.

In the beginning, when going to another village, there was nothing more than an escort request.

You have to be on guard at night, listen to what the client says, and there are a lot of troublesome things, but you can still ride on the carriage.

Plus, they give you money when it's over. It's a lot of money than doing a few subjugation quests. How can you not do this?

However, this time, leaving the village immediately after achieving E rank was postponed for a while.

"Please do one request with me!"

Because of Runon.

"Wait a minute, Runon. Soira is in trouble..."

"Okay. Do you think subjugation quests are as easy as you think? "You don't even know how to hold a sword properly."

"No. He said he practiced secretly. "I'm sure I'll do better than you think?"

Kiven shrugged and made a shocked gesture.

"You didn't learn it secretly, you practiced it on your own? Are you confident? "If you make a mistake when subduing monsters, you die."

"Because at least I can protect my body."

"Under. Really... What can't you do with words? If you're that confident, let's take a look. Come out to the yard."

When it seemed that Runon would not change his mind, Kiven tried to suppress him with his skills.

I think this is a cliche...

There is no way my feelings could be conveyed like that. In the end, Kiven and Runon faced off in the yard with wooden swords in hand.

And the results were surprising.

Runon lasted for 5 minutes.

Although Kiven has a well-trained body, he has never properly learned a sword, and is said to be an aspiring soldier and not a soldier. However, his opponent, Runon, is not trained and is just the son of an innkeeper.

Let alone 5 minutes, I was counting how many times I would fall, but I only lasted 5 minutes.

This is something that generally cannot happen.

That means there is something out of the ordinary.

Let's read Runon's status.

'Strength 10.' Working at the inn won't be easy, so I guess it's average.

'Stamina 10.' Working at an inn surprisingly requires stamina.

'Agility 9.' I didn't particularly see him running or training. It makes sense.

'Intelligence 9.' Intelligence is viewed slightly differently from other abilities. It indicates how much intelligence you have compared to your intelligence of 10. If it's 9, it means you're a little dumber than me.

'Magic power 8.' There is no inconvenience in using everyday magic, but anything higher than that is an unreasonable ability. Seaʀᴄh the Nôvelƒire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

What? I don't have any special abilities? Rather, he is just an ordinary person who has not trained.

As I was wondering, the item below caught my eye.

「Ability: Swordsmanship talent」

Uh. Why do you have this?

Swordsmanship talent. It is literally an ability that gives one a talent for swordsmanship. I think I've said it before, but in WM, players can use points to give special abilities to their characters.

Some of those abilities are rarely innate to the inhabitants of this world.

Swordsmanship talent, which provides compensation for swordsmanship proficiency growth and most actions using a sword, is a relatively common ability among them.

Although people who have it are usually found at knight level or higher.

That's not something you can't understand because talent and work don't always match. It's so unexpected.

Is not it? Even so, the main character of the prologue's Girl Meets Boy, can he do this much?

While I was wondering, I discovered that the status wasn't over yet.

What do you still have? Let's go down.

「Penalty: NTR Constitution」
