Chapter 65: The Legendary Nail Bat

Chapter 65: The Legendary Nail Bat

The first person to arrive at the store that morning was Regal, who had been working with Garm and his party.

[Good morning, Yahagi-san!]

[Good morning, Regal. I see you’ve finally become an official team member.]

[Yes! Thanks to Yahagi-san, I will start my induction course today.]

Regal’s Offensive Magic is rapidly improving.

As he was promised, he is now an official member of Garm’s team.

He is now a full-fledged adventurer.

It seems a lie that only a short time ago, he was a porter who always looked like he was about to cry.

It’s amazing how quickly a boy can grow up.

[And so, hereafter, my assistance for dungeon mapping......]

[Don’t worry about that.]

It hurts that Regal is leaving, but mapmaking is a time-limited job.

In comparison, being on a team is a long-term activity.

Now, as their new member, he has to become used to his new team.

Fortunately, Merle and Mira will continue to help me out, so I congratulated Regal wholeheartedly on his departure.

Including Regal, there were actually three newcomers who would be receiving Garm team’s induction course.

It seems that Garm has enlarged his team and moved his base of operations to the 3rd Underground Floor.

Even him, who until recently was hunting with veteran adventurers, has grown up remarkably.

I suppose this is how rookies become veteran adventurers.

[Yo, Garm. You’ve become quite a big group.]

[We will have our start here. We’re going to make a lot of money and make a name for ourselves in the Royal Capital.]

Garm turned to the excited-looking rookies.

[Alright, today is my treat. You little chicks can buy as much as you want up to 300 rims.]

The rookies cheered at Garm’s words.

Seems like the rookies were still a bit childish.

Pondering on the treat given to them, Regal and the others put the store’s items in their baskets.

Snacks up to 300 rims huh......

This reminds me of my field trip back in grade school.

[It’s a magic item that deals a fixed 300 damage.]

[What does that mean?]

[It means it does a certain amount of damage no matter who uses it.]

Well, if their attack hits, that is.

Therefore, it’s a weapon that should be held by those who are good at close combat.

[Wait a moment there! Is that fixed 300 damage true!?]

The one who reacted to the Nail Bat’s specs the most was the warrior Garm.

[That’s what the product description says.]

[That means, it can smash a Spider Crab with a single blow! Give me five!]

[I’ll have ten of those.]

Merle, who had arrived before I knew it, handed me 3 large copper coins.

Perhaps because she was able to earn more money than before, she was a bit rough with her money these days.

[Stop there, Merle. You won’t be able to win easily.]

[Don’t stop me, Yuusuke-san. I’m not buying snacks here. I’m buying a dream.]

[No, you aren’t buying a dream. It’s a snack! Wake up, Merle.]

That’s a gambler’s way of thinking you’re having there, Merle.

[Merle, let’s just buy three. I’ll buy it myself, and if I win, Merle gets the bat.]

Mira nonchalantly bought a bat.

[Arehh, it seems like there’s something written on it?]

No way, did the lucky Mira really just pulled out the Legendary Nail Bat!?

While everyone around her watched with bated breath, Mira happily showed me the writing on the back of the package.

[It says “Hit”.]

[If it’s a hit, I’ll trade for you another chocolate bat.]

Ahh, that surprised me. I got flustered because Mira actually is a lucky girl.

There was a bit of a commotion from the introduction of the Chocolate Bat, but not a single adventurer that day won the Legendary Nail Bat.

I guess winning it isn’t so easy.
