episode2~6 Encounter with big brother

After that, I got on a carriage and headed for the city.

A man and a merchant are talking about something.

He listens.


"It's still dangerous to have one escort alone. Even though there are only weak monsters, if two or more are attacked like this time, we can not deal with it."


"Um, I want to keep the escort fee as low as possible ... Can it be replaced safely?"


"At least two people are needed."


Hmm.

Is that dog a weak monster?

It was a pretty threat to me.


After a while, I arrived at the city.

It's a solid and big city.

There is an outer wall.


There is a gatekeeper with a spear at the gate.

Can I enter the city?

You don't have an ID card, right?


Go through the gate.

It is being stared at.

scared.

However, I was able to pass without being told anything in particular.


Is it okay?

Put a guy in town who doesn't know the bones of any horse like this.


After passing through the gate, get off the loading platform.

Thank them and say goodbye.


Walk down the main street.

There is only a big city, and the main street is also lively.

Eavesdrop on what others are saying.

It seems that this is a city called "Larg".


When I took a walk properly, there were many food stalls.


"Oh brother, how about yakitori? One bronze coin!"

A nice old man talks to me.


"Oh, ask for one"

Well, I'm hungry and I'll buy it.

Is it about 100 yen per bronze coin?

It is the first shopping and dining in another world.


"Oh, this is delicious. I'll ask for two more."

In a different world, I thought that salt and pepper were valuable and had a light taste, but they were usually delicious.

I also bought drinks at other stores and ate two additional yakitori.


When I tried to activate the blessing skill for this old man, the message "The loyalty is 38 points short. Current loyalty: 12 points" is displayed.

What is loyalty?


As I took a walk further, there were some buildings that I was interested in.

Adventurer's Guild and Slave Factory.

But now I give priority to accommodation.


While taking a walk, I found some inn candidates.

Among them, I will try to make it in the middle.


Enter the inn.

There was an auntie who was a clerk, so I talked to him.


"Hi Hi. Night How much is?"


"If you're just staying, you'll get two silver coins and three with breakfast and evening meals. Would you like to stay?"


"Please include meals for 3 nights"


That said, I handed over a gold coin.

I was given a silver coin as a change.


"Hey! Guide the customer to the room!"


"Yes!"


A young female clerk came out from the back.

She is probably the daughter of an aunt.

You will be guided to the room on the second floor.


"Then take your time. Don't be late for tomorrow's breakfast."


With that said, she went down the stairs.

I enter the guided room and take a break.


Now, I have 9 gold coins, 11 silver coins and 27 bronze coins that I got from the mission reward.

Judging from the prices of yakitori and inns, gold coins are 10,000 yen, silver coins are 1000 yen, and bronze coins are 100 yen.

In other words, you have 103,700 yen in cash alone.


I think I can live for about a month without doing anything.

However, within that one month, we have to establish a way to live.

I can't say much.


By the way, there was a reward for the mission to go to the city.



Mission

Let's go to the city.

Reward: Skill points 10



Since it was "achieved" safely, I will receive a reward.

This is 10 points.

It's good to raise the swordsmanship level to 2, but it's halfway because there are 5 points left.


Do you want to strengthen your strength?

No, there is swordsmanship in offensive skills.


Do you take magic?

No, I'll be doing solo for the time being, so the magic is still good.

If possible, I would like to take it as a set with shortening the casting time.

Because there seems to be a big chance.


I was worried about various things, but decided to strengthen my body.

I still don't know what will happen.

This skill, which seems to be broad and shallow, may be useful.


Select and execute the item of physical strengthening.

The field of vision flashes for a moment.

I feel like I'm feeling better.


When I checked the status, there was a slight correction to the overall status.

Probably the strengthening rate is 10%.

I am grateful that the fractions are rounded off.

Will it be 20% at physical strengthening level 2?


Well, let's go to the Adventurer's Guild tomorrow.

As far as I strolled today, the town is safe.

There won't be any events in the Adventurer's Guild getting entangled in a thug.


…………maybe.

--------------------------------------------------



I came to the Adventurer's Guild.

It is about 10 minutes walk from the inn.

The appearance is pretty beautiful, and I don't get the impression that it is a gathering place for rough people.


When I went inside, I saw the receptionist.

Is she about 20 years old?

She's an older sister type.

She is pretty cute.


She talks over the counter.


"Hello. Is your request?"


"No, I'm trying to register as an adventurer ... Can you explain the adventurer's guild?"


"Yes. The Adventurer's Guild introduces various requests according to the rank of each adventurer. There is also a monster subjugation reward independent of the request. The subjugation reward is automatically written on the guild card. It will be paid based on the information provided. Only guild members can receive it. In addition, we also purchase the monster materials that have been subdued. "


"I see. What is a rank?"


"It is set based on merit. The first is E. Since there is not much trust in the E rank, there are many requests at the chore level. When it reaches the D rank, it is possible to receive orders such as escort of merchants. The higher the rank, the more rewarding the request may be personally nominated. "


"I understand. Are there any precautions?"


"There is nothing in particular. However, the guild does not know about the injuries requested or fights between adventurers, and there is no compensation. It is self-responsibility. Also, it seems that it does not matter for the time being, but if it becomes C rank or higher A compulsory request from the guild may be issued. Ignoring it will result in penalties. "


"I understand. Then I would like to ask you to register. Are you sure?"


"One silver coin will be charged as a registration fee. Please enter your name and occupation on this form. Would you like to write it on your behalf?"


"No, it's okay"


With the skills of different world languages, I can understand and write letters without any problems.


Name: Takashi

Occupation: Swordsman


And submit it to the receptionist along with the silver coins.


"My name is Takashi ... My occupation is a swordfighter. Then I will issue a guild card, so please wait for a while."


With that said, she withdrew to the back of the counter.


"I'm sorry to have kept you waiting. This is the guild card."


"Thank you. Do you have a recommended hunting ground at this time of year?"


"That's right ... Fighting dogs are breeding in the northern grasslands. The subjugation reward is low, but the fighting power is not very high. But be careful. New adventurers are killed and injured every year. Because "


"I understand. Thank you for everything. I will go immediately."


When I said that and tried to go to the exit, the duo called out vulgarly.


"Hehehehe. Is the beginner subduing the dog?


"That's exactly what my brother says! Gahahaha!"


Mazui, suddenly entwined.

I felt that this city of Larg was safe, but ...

After all, are adventurers a lot of thugs?


"Hehehe. Hey, what if I say something about Bose?"


"Is it really possible to fight with such a thin arm? Gahahaha!"


If you ignore it and try to go to the exit, your path will be blocked.


Hmmm, Mazui.

You shouldn't use a sword.


When I glanced at the receptionist, she smiled with a smile and was unlikely to help me.

Well, I said earlier that I wouldn't interfere with fights.


No, this is not a fight.

It's just a rookie Ibiri.

Help me.

Why is she smiling ...

At least this is a scene to grate.


No, not when you're thinking about this.

If you have a problem from the first day of registration, you will be reminded of the future.

I have to somehow rule it round.

I'm thinking about what to say ...


"Hehehe. Oh, we'll follow you. Fighting dogs will get hurt unexpectedly if you're not careful."


"Thank you for your kindness. Gahahaha!"


Hmm?


"Hehehe. Isn't your money? It's a lot easier if you have a shield even if it's small."


"What should I lend to you? Gahahaha!"


If these guys ...

Is it actually a good person?

I was taken by the duo of thugs and came to the armor shop.


"Hehehe. Hey shopkeeper! Is there an affordable shield for beginners?"


"Are you taking care of the newcomer again? No benefit ..."


The owner of the armor shop says.

By the way, he's not a dwarf, but an ordinary grandfather.


"Hehehe. It's okay. I'm not doing it to get something else. I've had my seniors help me when I was young. It's like giving back."


"Big brother, it's cool! Gahahaha!"


I bought a small shield as recommended by the shop owner.

As the name suggests, it's a small shield.

I tried a normal size, but it felt a little heavy.


"Hehehe. Oh, don't you look good in front of me? Only the appearance is full-fledged!"


"The question is whether you can master it. But suddenly the actual battle is also bad. First of all, practice with the oilers when you get out of the city and walk a little! Gahahaha!"


As the word says, I practiced for about an hour outside the city.

Thank you for your kind guidance.

And finally, the fighting dog is subdued.


"Hehehe. Fighting dogs have a strong fighting instinct. Even with half-hearted attacks, it's awkward to fight persistently."


"First of all, concentrate on avoidance! Find a gap and hit a heavy blow! Then you can hunt safely. It's a guy who hurries around. Gahahaha!"


"Yes! Thank you for your advice! Adolf's big brother! Leo!"


On my way here, I was told their names.

With respect, they are called with "big brother" and "san".


Follow their advice and just focus on avoidance.

I'm scared because my teeth are exposed and attacked.

Desperately avoid it.


There are many dangerous scenes, but it's surprisingly quite so.

Keep avoiding it, and if you can't avoid it, use a shield to rebuild the situation.

Then take the plunge and cut it with a sword.

The benefits of swordsmanship level 1 are great.

Shields are also useful.

I'm glad I bought it as I said.


If you get points, you can take evasive measures.

I'm relieved because they are there now, but I want more reassurance if I do solo.


Fighting dogs do not act in groups.

In other words, you can take a break every time you kill one.

You won't need to strengthen your HP or physical strength yet.


Fighting dogs don't even hide their signs.

I was always excited and breathing, and the sign was leaking.

You don't even need a sign.

The view around here is also good.


Is it possible to strengthen the strength and body in order to defeat it with less effort?

Is it easier to hit the key points if the swordsmanship level is set to 2?


The level went up when I hunted a few.

I want to give skill points, but they are watching.

If you suddenly get better, you may seem suspicious of anything.

I will think about acquiring skills after returning to the inn.


As I continued to hunt dogs, I felt better.

No, something went too far.


"Hyahahaha! I won't hit such an attack!"


"Kuhahahaha! Small items! Die!"


"Shahahahaha! After all, it's a dog! It's not a human enemy!"


"Ha ha ha ha! You should be torn by the sword of darkness and sleep!"


This is all my lines.


No, it's embarrassing.

The tension has just risen.

It's my first experience of killing creatures anyway.

Their tone has changed.


"Guhihihihi! Adolf's big brother! Leo! How about something like this?"


"Oh, oh ..."


"You have changed the atmosphere ..."

--------------------------------------------------



The first monster hunt was successfully completed.

The tension has risen a little too much.


Adolf and Leo helped carry the corpse of the fighting dog.

When hunting in the vicinity, it seems that it is common to bring it back to the guild as it is.

If you want to hunt large prey, you should rent a cart.


By the way, when you go out, you can strip off only the expensive parts or hire a person who specializes in carrying luggage called a porter.

High-ranked adventurers may have item bags or people who can use item boxes and item rooms at parties.


What is an item room?

Probably a higher version of the item box.

Item box, item room.

Yeah, it's probably a higher version.


Return to the Adventurer's Guild and submit a guild card to report.


The sum of the subjugation reward and the purchase price was only two silver coins.

Even though it is the first day, it is less than the accommodation fee.


Without the advice and swordsmanship of his brothers, he was a life-threatening and annoying opponent.

It's hard to realize the benefits of physical strengthening level 1, but it should be.

Even though I have such a talented senior and a fine cheat, today I earn only two silver coins.

Adventurers are a tough profession.


The problem is that the corpse of the fighting dog was full of scratches.

The purchase price has been greatly reduced.

I want to raise my swordsmanship level.


The older brothers who were waiting behind me talked to me.


"Hehehe. Did you get used to hunting today? The sword muscle is better than I expected. But it's still a long way off. I'll go out with you tomorrow."


"It's easiest to get injured when you think you're used to it! It's a guardian enemy! Gahahaha!"


"Hehehe. Tomorrow morning, we'll meet at the north gate! Is that okay?"


"Yes! Thank you!"


I wanted to thank you for today, but I went quickly.

I have to thank you for something.


Return to the inn and lie down on the bed.


Today's hunt raised the level by 2 and scored 40 skill points.

Perhaps you will get 20 skill points for each level you go up.


Consume 5 skill points and level 2 physical enhancement.

It wouldn't seem suspicious at this level.

The amount of stat increase when leveling up is larger.


Select and execute physical strengthening in the status operation.

The field of vision flashes for a moment.


When I checked the status, the overall status was further corrected.

The strengthening rate of physical strengthening level 2 is probably 20%.

It seems that 10 skill points are required to change the physical strengthening from level 2 to 3.

Put it on hold for now.


You need 10 points to get it first.

Levels 1 and 2 require 5 points.

10 points are required for levels 2 to 3.


From this point of view, "15 points are required for levels 3 to 4".

I don't know what the maximum level is, and I can't help thinking more.



●●●



After all, for another two days, I had a special training and dog hunting.


Today is said to be the last day.

After successfully hunting dogs, I returned to the Adventurer's Guild.

Submit a guild card and report.


"It's a fighting dog subjugation and the purchase of its materials. Please wait a moment. …………………… Yes, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting. Then, the subjugation reward and the purchase amount will be combined to make 5 silver coins. Fighting The dog was in good condition, so the purchase price is a little higher. "


The swordsmanship level remains at 1.

It's probably the result of getting better at handling skills as a result of gaining experience.


I practiced the shield quite a bit, but I couldn't get it.

It seems that it takes a lot of patience to acquire skills on your own without relying on status operations.


Receive the reward, thank the receptionist and leave.

The big brothers talked to me.


"Hehehe. Five silver coins. If you repeat the same thing as today, you won't have any trouble living. You can be said to be another E-rank adventurer. With experience, You'll have more room. Save money and get a little better weapons and armor. "


"If possible, find someone with the same ability and form a party. The reward per person tends to decrease, but the safety is greatly improved. If you want to live longer, party members are essential. Gahahaha!"


"Hehehe. If you can form a party with weapons and armor, you can see the D rank. Do your best!"


Everything is taken care of by my big brothers.

I have to thank you today.


"Adolf's big brother, Leo. Thank you so much for your help. Thank you."


That said, I give them a liquor bottle.

Cash thanks have been declined on the second day.

From the appearance of these three days, it seems that they are not dating for rewards, but at least I have to do this.


"Hehehe. As I said yesterday, is it okay to thank you?


"Let's have a delicious drink later. Gahahaha!"


"Anything else ... is there anything I can thank you for?"


"Hehehe. This liquor is enough. Well, if you really want to, when you can afford to become D rank or C rank, do the same thing as a newcomer."


"That's what the oilers want. Gahahaha!"


"Yes ... I understand! I'm sure I will do that someday!"

--------------------------------------------------



I parted from my big brothers and returned to the inn.

They were good people.


However, unfortunately, there is a merchant escort mission from tomorrow, and he will leave this city.


Before an important escort mission.

If you get injured by receiving a poorly difficult request, it's bad.

With that judgment, he seemed to go out with my hunt.


I lie down on the bed in my room at the inn.

In the last 3 days, the level has risen by 3.

The status has also risen across the board.

I spent 5 skill points to raise the level of physical strengthening, so I have 55 remaining.


Oh, by the way, there was also a mission to defeat monsters.



Mission

Let's defeat one monster.

Reward: Skill points 10



You will receive a reward because it has already been achieved.

This brings the skill points to 65.


Let's talk about blessing skills here.

Actually, I tried it on various people, but no one could activate it.


The old man at the yakitori restaurant has a loyalty of 12 points, which is 38 short.

The inn's aunt has 11 points of loyalty and is 39 short.

The armor shop's grandfather has a loyalty of 8 points, which is 42 short.

The guild receptionist has 14 points of loyalty and is 36 short.

Adolf's big brother has 23 points of loyalty and is 27 short.

Leo has 22 points of loyalty and is 28 short.


From the above results, it can be seen that the degree of loyalty required to activate the blessing grant is 50.

The degree of loyalty does not seem to be a big problem even if it is replaced with the degree of friendship and friendship.


I have only the minimum necessary conversations with the old man at the yakitori restaurant, the aunt at the inn, and the grandfather at the armor shop.

I met the guild receptionist every day and had a little small talk on the second day.

I think I was able to build a certain relationship of trust with my older brothers by spending a considerable amount of time together, albeit only three days.


Loyalty 10 points: "Almost others"

Loyalty 20 points: "Friend"


This shouldn't be a big mistake.

When it comes to loyalty, 50 is quite difficult.


Loyalty 30 points: "best friend" "lover"

Loyalty 40 points: "couple"

Loyalty 50 points: "???"


If you think simply, it will be like this.

Perhaps it's a lifesaver, a lovely couple, or something like that.


Based on that, think about what kind of skill to take.


Attack magic is still good.

After forming a party with the avant-garde.


No need for martial arts or archery.

It would be better to focus on swordsmanship and extend it.


Considering only the efficiency of dog hunting, I want swordsmanship, avoidance, strength strengthening, and physical strengthening.


I also want shield art, but it's not essential.

For verification, I will aim for acquisition without relying on status operations.


With an item box, you can carry more prey at a time, which is efficient.

I'll be doing solo until I find a party member, and I definitely want an item box.

If you put money in it, it will be a countermeasure against pickpockets, so you can rest assured.


However, even if I look for it, there is no skill called "item box" anywhere.

Is it a kind of space magic?

Will it be possible to use it by taking space magic?

I wish I could use it around space magic levels 1 to 3.


The more efficient dog hunting, the more efficient it is to make money.

You can save money to improve your equipment and buy slaves.

If that happens, the efficiency of hunting will become even better, and it will become a positive spiral.


However, there are some concerns.


Is it possible for the slaves who purchased them to feel loyalty?

Some loyalty is no good.

When it comes to the level of loyalty that can be blessed, is it the treatment of serious illness or limb defects?

Given that, there may also be an enhancement of healing magic.


But do such slaves exist in the first place?

How much does it cost?

Can it be surely treated with healing magic?


Questions that cannot be answered even if I think about them come up one after another.

First of all, it may be better to actually go to the slave factory.


Yeah, that's right.

Let's go to the slave factory tomorrow.
