So, even if we were to take Sherry, who does not have the Master Smith Job unlocked, to the Temple of Elen and she were to offer a prayer there, she would not get the Master Smith Job anyway, making such a trip one giant waste of our time, money and resources. I have to say, when I first heard her mention that temple I thought that this might be a good alternative route to killing monsters with random weapons while having various weapons equipped on her, but now I see that relying on the Temple of Elen to give Sherry what she wanted would not be a good idea either.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . Wait, what she wanted?
Sherry, if you do not mind me asking, would you be happy if you managed to become a Master Smith after all?
Come to think of it, that is one of the things that I have never confirmed with her: does she want to get that Master Smith Job or not?
N-No, I. . . I do not think so.
Huh? Say what?
You do not think so? Why is that? Is becoming a Master Smith not an aspiration of every Dwarf?
I was wondering why she would say something like that, but Sherry simply hanged her head down and continued to stare at the tips of her boots in silence. And then, after a while of not saying anything. . .
I guess. . . I guess I have simply given up on it.
If master says that everything is going to be all right, then it definitely will, Sherry. So you do not have to worry about anything, and just continue to live they way you are doing it now.
O-Of course, Miss Roxanne! I will be sure to try and do exactly that!
Roxanne offered Sherry some words of encouragement as well. But really now, Roxanne, just where is that unwavering faith in me of yours coming from? I honestly do not know. But she is absolutely right. Sherry is not alone anymore. She has me and Roxanne by her side, and she can be damn sure that we are going to do all in our power to help her out of her Master Smith pinch.
All right then you two, since we are done with our warp-up, then I am going to be using magic to fight any enemies we might be encountering from now on. I will make sure to annihilate any monsters that might be coming our way, so Sherry, I want you to focus on evasion and defense. Other than that, just make sure that you will listen to any instructions Roxanne might be giving you and be sure to cooperate with her well at all times.
I declared my intention to switch onto using magic and gave instructions on how to act for both Sherry and Roxanne. Thankfully, it looks like even with just the Villager Lv.3 equipped as her main Job Sherry is not going to be brought down to critically low HP with just one or two blows so I will probably do not have to worry about her as much as I thought I would have to, but just to be on the safe side we should get more used to fighting as a team here on the lower floors of the Labyrinths before advancing onto the higher ones.
I never entered a Labyrinth while having a Mage in a Party before, but from what I can see you seem to be even more powerful than what I have imagined and what the stories about magic users were telling, master. Your usage and expertise of the Attack Magic might be on par with that of an expert mage, or perhaps even better than that still.
So that is Sherrys impression of my magic, huh? Well, I do not know if this is what can be called magic on a professional level, but it is certainly something that a Lv.32 Mage is capable of. If I were to remove Mage from the list of my active Jobs, then I would not be able to cast but a single Fireball, much less the more impressive and effective spells.
Really? That is what you think, Sherry? Well well well, I have to say that your flattery makes me really happy.
This is not flattery, master. I am merely stating the fact. The stronger you are as a leader, the easier it will be for us in the vanguard, after all.
