The explanation round was over and we started for what we had come for 一 farming materials of ‹Electric Bear-cum-Electric›.
Everyone's excitement and motivation was at its peak thanks to the miraculous ‹Perfect Beauty-4 Phenomenon›.
Except, there was just one thing to be worried about.
I had yet to show Lana and others the three flutes out of the 8 flutes I was holding. They were the same flutes I had gotten from ‹Emperor Goblin›.
We have already used the flutes I had gotten from Dean but they're still left. It was finally the day for them to see the light of the day huh.
I could already imagine Lana's order “Use the flute again!” as soon I reveal them but well I'm quest-bind this time.
I took out three flutes from my pocket.
"Actually, I have three more."
"What in tarnation! Zephyr you sneaky, how do you have so many flutes! Hand me one of those flute too!"
"No way."
Lana's selfish side was at its play again but I somehow was able to save the flutes. So close, I almost couldn't wait to wipe the non-existent sweat from my forehead.
Well, I suppose she was just too excited and too active. I'm sure she would have given me back later after trying it out. She would, right?
Afterwards, We were able to gather the materials of ‹Electric Bear-cum-Squirrel› without any problem.
We were able to draw the rare boss 22 times out of 32 using the flute. We fought with the regular boss ‹A squirrel plagued with lightning› the remaining ten times.
To be honest, regular boss was hardly a threat for us who had already fought with the rare boss. Though we didn't get any gold chest after that. Rest of the treasure chest dropped were ‹Silver Chest› but fortunately we also had ‹Beauty-4 Phenomenon› one time. Just amazing.
During battles, we stopped once to have lunch 一 Lana who couldn't stop grinning while eating Hannah's delux lunch box was just too cute 一 and finished using flutes for 32 times.
As the final ‹Electric Bear-cum-Squirrel› disappeared in effect, I announced our return.
"Everything is as predicted. Great, now back to outside at once!"
"Roger! Great work everyone!"
I confirmed everyone had caught up with my announcement and then got into the teleportation circle.
From here was my solo work.
"Well, I'm going to the ‹Let's become a bomber together› guild. See ya."
"Try to come back as soon as possible, got it?"
"I know."
I separated with the other members at the ‹Int-low Gate›, took out ‹Segway Rev.› and headed for the ‹Let's become a bomber together› riding on it.
‹Segway Rev.› was a one-person item so unfortunately, not everyone could ride on it. Ester's carriage was so big that it made me afraid to run it in the academy.
That's why I was the only one going there.
My plan was to get the flutes count reset and get ready for tomorrow.
It was now 6:00 p.m., and already getting too late. Tomorrow's the deadline for the material submission quest so we have to carefully plan out our next course of action.
I arrived at the ‹Let's become a bomber together› as I was reconfirming tomorrow's plan inside my head once again.
"My, My, if it's not Brave-kun. You're just at the time I expected. Welcome~ Welcome~"
A big-sister like senpai who was sorting out the item shelf called out to me noticing me taking entry
"Good evening, Lenka-senpai. Can I have you recover the flutes quickly?"
"Of course! You're one of our valuable customers after all. Just wait, I will make it super quick. I am already prepared since you had already told me beforehand."
This person 一 2nd year Lenka-senpai ー was the one in whom care I left the flutes for repair every time.
Her job was ‹Bomber› and she was also the sub master of this guild. Apparently she also has quite a good relationship with Marie-senpai.
Her speech is usually more eloquent since she is a merchant but we have already met quite a few times so she doesn't use it anymore. You can say we're already good friends where we don't need to be polite in our speech anymore.
Usually it's either only me or Celestine who would visit for the flutes repair since my ‹Intuition› warns me that I would somehow land myself in trouble if I brought Lana or other girl with me
"You can also look at our products and see if you're interested in buying anything. Our guild is always lacking pennies."
"There's no way you're penniless when I pay several millions Mir each time for flutes repair."
I handed the flutes and spent my time looking at products on display as told. The shelfs were lined with bombs related items as usual.
In fact, I was amazed at their courage to leave the bombs on the shelfs just like that. They're not real, right? Just imagining what if...... Shudder.
I turned to glance at Lenka-senpai, she had just put the flutes on the magic circle and materials on some item and was just restoring flutes. She looked extremely focused which made me hesitant to ask about the authenticity of these bombs.
Speaking of, the items Lenka-senpai was using was ‹Magic Tool Recovery Set› that is used to repair recovered items.
Its function was such that by putting items on the set, using some materials and then activating ‹Bomber› or ‹Magic Tool Master›'s skills, it could restore item usage count.
The materials needed for recovery vary depending on the item and in the case of ‹Flute›, it used quite expensive boss materials. This was the reason behind why restoring ‹Flute› one count cost 500,000 Mir.
"‹Magic Tool Count Recovery›! Haa I'm finally done. This is the fastest I have done you know, I expect some good reward for this"
"I will come again tomorrow for the same request, so isn't 16 million in a day already a profit? I guess this should be enough?"
"This is that, I want something else. I heard from Marie that you danced with her."
Dance? Ah, maybe she's talking about that whirling?
Well, I can only do that when I'm extremely excited and unfortunately, the excitement from ‹Perfect Beauty-4 Phenomenon› has already cooled down.
"Let's do it next time when we have a chance. I'm taking flutes with me. See ya, and payment is on the head of Dean."
"You're so dull. Alas, see you tomorrow. Oh, and make sure not to be late for recovery, I can only keep the shop open till 9:00 p.m."
"Thank you. Bye, see you later."
"See you next time~"
I received flutes from Lenka-senpai who kept her hands moving even as we chatted, confirmed that all the flutes had been recovered and then our them on the bag.
Alright, we're now ready for tomorrow's expedition.
