CH 67

Hm.

I was laying on my back against the futon as I was thinking to myself. Ash was sleeping near my foot. The sound of his constant breathing could be heard. 

I did most of my thinking while getting into the futon and closed my eyes. 

So far, there wasn’t any particular problem in terms of my daily life basis. If I needed to say it I guess it was the existence of the monster but if it was just this much, I still felt like there was no point in worrying about it. It was just something inevitable that I had to face. Of course, living in the town would be much safer but having the ‘binding’ with other people meant I’d lose my freedom. 

I don’t want that. 

In the first place, I still didn’t know just how strong the monsters were. If I were attacked by a dragon, an existence that was common in RPG games, I was 100% sure I’d die. But still, there was no point in worrying about it now. I just needed to keep on practicing wholeheartedly. 

I also needed to think about the next skill I should pick. Should I aim for magic skill or should I get the extension of the current skills I had?

The other day, I saw it myself how the magician defeated the serpent with a tornado. If I could do something like that too then the survival difficulty of my life would decrease considerably. Of course, I never thought things would go so smoothly like that. Also, there was one other thing I noticed.

Apparently I had an excellent blacksmithing skill. The fact that a skilled blacksmith like Margo didn’t possess the skill to grant an attribute was a good living proof of my capability. I could also say the same about potion making or alchemy. 

Although I needed to go do poison tasting, which was an extremely dangerous task to do, both blacksmith and alchemy, which derived from the appraisal skill, really helped me a lot. Mastering blacksmithing and alchemy might be the shortcut for me to be able to stay alive in this world. 

Another thing I had in mind was the relationship between Margo, Juno and Sarasa. Though I could do nothing but watch about this so there was no point in worrying about this problem either. 

As I let my mind keep on wandering about all sorts of trivial stuff, I had fallen asleep before I knew it.

T/N: The love triangle between Juno, Margo and Sarasa is really… Hmm… Though I think Juno won’t sever their relationship if Margo and Sarasa got together since he already decided to hide his feelings in the first place. I do hope Juno can have his own lover though. I don’t want him to be the single 2nd ML in Margo and Sarasa’s love story.
