Vol. 3 - Chapter 188 - Pamela and Shizu’s Job and Equipment Explanation Time!

The last floor.

From the 1st floor till the last, it takes around 30 minutes to arrive. So it's as much as 3 minutes per floor. The carriage really didn't let her down. It's more so amazing because Ester was only driving at low speed.

I'm already excited to see how short it can go once Ester becomes skilled in manipulating it.

We are now in front of the boss room in the <Tropical Forest> dungeon. The opponent is a bear-ish (bear-cum-anteater) looking monster. It's called the weakest boss among all the beginner dungeons in <Dungeon Activity> and also the first trial for beginners.

Lulu and others overcame this trial yesterday.

The Lv of Shizu and Pamela has increased by 1 with their hunting on the 1st floor, reaching Lv 11. It should be tough for them to go solo yet, but that should be a breeze if they fight together.

Their equipment is also quite excellent. So, I'm going to have them show their abilities first.

I put the carriage in the item bag. The <Drive> skill doesn't work against the boss, though more like, it's useless against them.

Noticing Ester was a bit sad as I stored the carriage, she isn’t subtle at all. I guess that's how much she has come to like it, even though I would take it out quickly.

This is the fruit of hard work.

"Shizu, Pamela. Are you guys ready?"

"Yes, you can start anytime."

"Bang-on-desu!"

Both of them took out their weapons in response to my confirmation and nodded.

Let's showcase both of those weapons.

The first one is <Battle Maid> Shizu. For the time being, I will put aside the jab of whatever the hell is a battle maid.

Huh, I can't do that? Explanation needed?

I see, then let's explain about the job now that there's a chance.

If Celestine's <Butler> is a combat butler, then Shizu's <Battle maid> is a combat maid. It's as literal as it says.

Fundamentally, the normal <Maid> job is placed among the mid-rank and it's completely a support job with all skills being totally unrelated to battle but in contrast to that, around 70% of those skills changed to combat one in <Battle Maid>.

As a matter of course, it's ranked in the middle of high ranking jobs. They are the type of attackers who can assume the role of scout, fighting in the dungeon and to a considerable extent in guild battle.

There are two main training methods, depending on which weapon you use.

When speaking about <Battle Maid>, the first thing that comes to my mind is guns.

The second weapon is the Katana.

The so-called Ninja sword. The blades of their sword are straight, unlike the Katana with curved blades Rika uses.

Ninja swords or katanas are not particularly classified into different categories in the game, so both of them belong to the same <Katana> category, <Shinobi>’s can equip whichever style they like. Though one part of players vehemently refused to accept this setting and equipped <Katana> for <Samurai> and <Ninja sword> for <Shinobi>. On the basis that it's more cool and it matches that way. Players could take screenshots in the game so they were quite fussy about that part.

In fact, I also tried to match as much as possible, and even asked for <Design Paint Alterations> many times.

Anyway, it's a close combat style that can be judged from the weapon.

Their skills <Cleaving> and <Lightning Decapitation> are awfully cool. This route skills are pretty strong and outstanding but its disadvantage is the number of skills are quite low and it's hard to focus on evasion due to the nature of fighting in close combat.

They can also use shuriken for hit-and-run tactics.

Both weapons have their advantages and disadvantages and both are good but it seems Pamela has chosen Katana. She is carrying two ninja swords on her back.

Twin ninja sword style sounds cool!

I remember how cute she looked giggling when I subconsciously blurted out my impressions. Pamela also seems to like this style and that's why she arranged the ninja swords. I guess this is a sign we are getting along better.

"We will be going then"

"Just wait to look at our majestic figures-desu!"

I waved my hand and saw them off who passed through after saying that.

Then I will do as they say, watching over their majestic figure as they proclaimed.

"Ester, you and those two are colleagues right? What do you think about their abilities?"

"Let's see. They are impressive with their body movements. Especially Pamela who is agile and can also conceal her presence, and act as hidden escort. Shizu should have been a maid that accompanied Lana-sama but I wonder why she suddenly became like this. The cause is...... ahh, pardon me, I can't tell you that."

"A secret, huh. Are there special circumstances or something?"

"... No, there's no deep mean一,You don't need to worry about this. 一一I just can't say that she come to accompany us because she cherished Lana-sama too much (mumble)."

"? Did you say something in the end? I couldn't hear you very well."

"No. Anyway, it will also be my first time seeing them fighting after they have chosen their jobs."

"Oh, got it. Thank you for telling me, Ester"

"I don't mind. You can always ask me if there's something you want to know."

"I will be relying on you then."

When I shifted my gaze again to the boss room after asking Ester, both of them were just about to face the boss <Bear-Cum-Anteater>. It's time to begin the battle.
