While I was sighing in relief, orange magic circle appears under the fourth Bitch Butterfly. Sherry thrusts her spear forward, but shes too far from it to be able to stop it in time. Even if she were to jump up to the Bitch Butterfly that was preparing the Skill, she still wouldnt make it, and I cannot cast another one of my Spells just yet because the cooldown from the previous one that I used is still active.
Sherry was able to successfully interrupt third butterflys Skill when it also started casting it because it was a little bit closer to her and within her Steel Spears range, but the fourth one managed to activate it.
The Bitch Butterfly raised its wings upwards and started releasing clouds of powdery smoke out of them, and since the Bitch Butterfly that activated the Skill is closer to Miria rather than Sherry, then she became the target of the Skills attack.
The cloud of powder envelops Miria completely, hiding her from our view for a brief moment, and when Miria emerged back from it, she was not moving and looked like she was frozen solid in an unnaturally stiffened position. I thought that this was just her being shocked at receiving the Bitch Butterflys Skill head on, but even after I observed her for a few seconds after I used another Wind Magic Spell, I noticed that she wasnt moving in the slightest.
Is that Paralysis? Has Miria been afflicted by it when she breathed in that cloud of smoke conjured by the Bitch Butterfly?
Should I give her the Anti-Paralysis Pill?
You can, but we really should focus on exterminating the monsters first before we do anything else.
Prompted by Sherrys down-to-earth advice, I prepare and then cast another Breeze Storm while the Bitch Butterfly approaches Miria with the obvious intention of attacking her.
This is exactly one of the scenarios that I was afraid of. Now that Miria is paralyzed and cannot move, shes like a sitting duck for any enemy whos going to be close enough to her to reach her with their attacks, so before anything else, I cast Medical Treatment on Miria, and then I cast another Wind Magic Spell to kill the monsters that were encroaching onto Miria when they took notice of her being paralyzed, and when they get hit by it, they drop down onto the floor.
How much time needs to pass for the effects of paralysis to wear off?
I ask that of Sherry while looking at Miria with concerned eyes since even now that the battle was already over, she was stull unable to move. Should I really bust out the Anti-Paralysis Pills from my Item Box and give them to Miria right away, or should I wait for a while longer hoping that the effects of the paralysis are going to wear off on their own soon?
The duration of status effects such as paralysis is not a fixed one, but usually it doesnt take all that long for the effects to wear off on their own, and normally the effects should end throughout the duration of the battle, and if it does not finish until then, then you can move to a safe location and administer the Anti-Paralysis Pill.
Thankfully there doesnt seem to be any monsters nearby, so it should be fine for master to administer the medicine now.
After that little incident happened, we carried on fighting the monsters like usual, and thankfully, no one got themselves paralyzed throughout the rest of the day, so there was no need for me to bust out the Anti-Paralysis Pills.
Fish, desu! Quick, desu!
After we were done with hunting, we head to the fishmonger, and of course, Miria is the one leading the way there with a serious spring in her step, but that was to be expected, because I promised her that today we will be making fish by using the new pan that we bought recently.
What kind of fish should we make today?
White fish, desu!
Miria says after closely examining every fish at the fishmonger, presumably in search of the freshest of the fresh fish that have been placed on display. So shes fine with using and eating the fish that has been caught as a Drop Item from a monster and not caught through the employment of the usual methods?
Anyway, there doesnt seem to be any better fish available here right now, so we might as well do exactly what Miria is suggesting and take the white fish. Or maybe she was planning on using it from the start?
Is there anything else you need?
X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X?
X X X X X X X X X X, desu.
Miria says that shes also going to need some Slime Starch.
After we bought the fish, I asked Miria if she was going to need anything else, and this is what she answered when Roxanne translated my words for her. I bought two white fish from the fishmonger, but contrary to what you might be thinking, I didnt do it so that the thirty percent discount would proc, but rather because now I know that Miria possesses quite the appetite and buying just one white fish would definitely not be enough for her.
Anyway, Slime Starch is the Drop Item dropped by Gummy Slime when it is defeated.
