Chapter 11 – 11.Valendia (11)
Sasha smiled slyly.
“Ugh~ Oppa~ Is that what you’re worried about? You’re a guy too~.”
Of course.
If you don’t care about a woman’s breasts in the first place, you’re not a man.
But they don’t reveal it openly.
“It’s so eye-catching because it’s open like that. So why are you walking around with it open like that? I think it’s going to attract a lot of male attention.”
“Hehe, of course that’s what I’m aiming for~.”
“Aiming for it?”
“There are very few female traders like me. Most of my business partners are men.”
“So?”
“If men are the opponents~.”
Knock Knock Sasha patted her chest with both hands and smiled mischievously.
“If you provide small services like this, things will go smoothly.”
“I see. It’s a technique that takes advantage of a man’s heart, right?”
“Yes! That’s it! Did it work for you too? Are you really worried?”
There will be many opportunities to meet Sasha in the future.
There will be times when she gaze inadvertently moves to her breasts.
It was very obvious that if discovered, it would be very embarrassing.
So, take steps now to prepare for such an unexpected situation.
Go confidently and shamelessly from the beginning.
He looks at Sasha’s chest and says.
“It definitely catches the eye.”
“Hoo~ Oppa, are you like that too? That’s surprising~.”
“There is no man who hates breasts.”
“Your brother is really funny. Yesterday he didn’t seem interested in women at all.”
“That must be your mistake.”
Now I’m saying the most shameless thing.
“There is no man who wouldn’t notice a pretty woman like you showing off her breasts.”
If you say it so shamelessly, the next time you see cleavage, if it’s Sasha, you won’t point it out loud…
[Passed through praise tolerance.]
‘Huh?’
What did it penetrate?
“I really~ Oppa too~.”
Sasha blushes slightly and holds out her hand.
It didn’t feel like he was acting, but he seemed quietly embarrassed.
She didn’t lie when she said she went out shamelessly.
But it penetrates praise resistance.
I didn’t really consciously use it like last time.
No, but.
‘I thought it would be nice if my shameless praise would be appreciated by Sasha. Is that why?’
As her trader, Sasha would have handled countless transactions.
Along the way, she must have heard harsh words about her from many of her business partners.
In fact, Sasha’s appearance is quite good, so she has been complimented by many people, saying that she is pretty or attractive, and she must have made a deal by spilling those words every time.
So, it was obvious that she wouldn’t even flinch at any praise or lip service.
‘But does that mean there is such a thing as praise tolerance?’
Sasha got up from her sofa, unable to control the corners of her mouth twitching.
“Even if you say that, I don’t have much to give you~. Oh, would you like some more cookies?”
“Let’s eat.”
“Just wait, I’ll get it~.”
Sasha left her office for a moment.
Sasha also showed her playful and difficult side in the game.
Sasha couldn’t even control her facial expression at my single compliment and she blushed.
Like a child who has been praised for the first time.
A new series of penetrating snout techniques that I discovered unintentionally.
This…
‘It could be very useful, right?’
It is not enough for me to defeat the final boss, the Demon King of Chaos, on my own.
So, you need to create a party and increase your power by training not only yourself but also the party members.
Since this is reality, there is no limit to the number of people in the party, so you can help develop other characters as well as regular members.
In the first place, since we have to defeat the demon king of chaos who only appears in legends, any force will be willing to fight together.
At that time, if many characters have high power, there will be a chance of victory.
In order to do so, you must first build some level of friendship with the gacha characters you want to raise.
Various characters appear in Lucedia Phantasm.
In other words, there are characters with various personalities, and among them, although they don’t have bad personalities, there are also characters who are very difficult to get close to.
A character who goes his own way, a mistrust of humanity, a troublemaker, or a creator with a bit of mad spirit.
Among the characters I want as regular members, there are those who are stubborn and those who wander around for their own fun.
However, if you use a penetration skill like you did with Sasha.
‘You will be able to form a party by becoming friends more easily and quickly.’
At least it won’t cause any ill feelings.
While I was delighted with the unexpected use of the new penetration skill, Sasha came back in.
“Cookies have arrived, oppa~.”
“Thank you. But I guess I could have called an employee without having to go in person.”
“Yeah, I somehow feel like I want to bring it myself!”
***
The same day I found out about a new method of penetrating snout surgery.
After leaving Cats Store, I immediately took up the request.
Since I already had enough equipment and capital, there was no need to make any more requests or catch bandits, but since I also had to test new equipment, I chose an opponent stronger than the bandits and started making requests.
The opponent is Stone Orc.
It is an orc with gray, hard skin like stone.
Phew!
-Kuhek!
[Pierced through the Stone Oak.]
As a result, thanks to the new equipment, my movements have become much more agile than usual.
Even though the Stone Orcs moved slower than the bandits, they were much easier to catch than I expected.
However, it was difficult to find a way to check the performance of the weapon or the power of critical damage.
Since there is a penetration skill, a single stab is already a fatal blow.
It was difficult to check whether this was being applied properly as it went beyond a critical hit and completely pierced the body.
However, after dealing with Stone Orcs a few more times, a method occurred to me.
‘Wouldn’t it be okay to swing the spear at the place where the wound was made beforehand?’
Critical hits usually occur when you look for an opening or attack a weak spot.
In that case, you just need to create a weakness in advance.
First, I cut the stone orc’s forearm with a spear just enough not to penetrate.
I swung the spear towards the wounded area.
Surprisingly, the moment the wound was cut, the spear cut through the Stone Orc’s skin and muscles very easily.
When it was fully swung, the Stone Orc’s arm flew off.
Just looking at it, a more cruel scene occurred than just penetrating.
After that, I tried it several times, and the Stone Orc’s arm flew off about once out of five.
When it wasn’t flying, it was just cutting into skin and muscles.
In other words, the reason the arm flew off was because a critical hit was activated.
‘There is no notification sound in case of a critical hit. No, it’s actually better that way.’
As expected, penetration was an unconditional fatal blow.
It’s annoying to keep hearing the notification sound that says it’s penetrated every time it penetrates.
If you get a critical hit, it will be even more annoying.
After checking the equipment once, I took out the Stone Orc’s magic stone and put the Stone Orc’s body in my inventory.
The monster’s corpse was treated as material, so it could be put in as much as it wanted.
After that, I returned to Valendia, received a refund of magic stones from Deisi, and stopped by Sasha to ask if he also handles monster corpses.
“A monster’s body? Well, we also have a dismantling department at our store. But what kind of monster is this? Oh, please don’t take it out of here! I’ll take you to the dismantling department’s warehouse!”
The body of the Stone Orc was taken out from the warehouse of the dismantling department that arrived with Shasha.
“This is it.”
When the corpses of the stone orcs they had been hunted were taken out, Sasha’s mouth opened wide.
“Oh, brother, this is…” ” .”
“Why is that? Stone Orcs aren’t rare?”
“It’s not rare. But to bring it in whole like this…! Oppa, ho, is it possible to bring in the corpse of a monster no matter how large it is?”
“In my sense, the corpse of a monster is treated as material, unlike a weapon. So, as many as you can fit into it.”
“Huh! Ah! Awesome… This is a hit!”
Sasha lifted her arms up and jumped up.
“Why are you doing that?”
Jumping around is cute, but really, why are you doing this?
“Why! My brother’s abilities are truly full of possibilities!”
Gold dwells in Sasha’s bright, sparkling eyes.
“Right now, it’s just a Stone Orc that’s being sold moderately… But if a large transport team is needed due to size issues, or if it’s a monster, Oppa can move it right away! Plus, since it’s a subspace ability, there’s no need to worry about the body decomposing!”
Sasha let out hot breath.
“Giant monsters have a higher chance of producing rare materials. However, even if it takes time to transport them and a dismantling team must accompany them in the subjugation!
Since it is not a place with professional equipment, there is a risk that the precious materials may be damaged due to constant exposure to room temperature! But if I have an older brother, that too can be solved!”
“I see. By the way, how do you usually obtain materials for such a huge monster?”
“It’s almost a race for speed. Put the desired material into the subspace ring as quickly as possible. Give up any parts that have rotted or become damaged over time.”
After that, Sasha secretly looked at me every day with shining gold eyes and asked if I would like to get a job at the company.
She continued to spend time rejecting Sasha’s scouting offers, and before she knew it, 10 days had passed.
The day for her to depart for the Academy has arrived.
“Ah, you really are too much of an older brother. He flatly rejects my offers every day after telling me he’s cute too! It was all a lie after all, right?”
In front of the Cats Company, Sasha said playfully in front of the carriage operated by the Cats Company.
And when it comes to jokes like this, I always speak boldly and confidently.
“There’s already a contract, so there’s no need to accept the offer. And I mean it when I say you’re cute and pretty.”
[Passed through praise tolerance.]
“…Tsk! Really~ You too! You already know! Of course it’s a joke, a joke~.”
Sasha twitches the corner of her mouth and holds out her hand.
When I see that expression on his face and his confusion, it seems as if he keeps making scouting offers to get praise from me on purpose.
‘No, is that really true?’
No matter what, it makes me feel good to see my favorite characters happy.
“Boss! Sihan Lee! Let’s go!”
The coachman looked at Sasha and me and gave her signal.
“Then I will go.
“Yes, yes, do well on the academy entrance exam, oppa. Even if you fail, I will hire you, so please take the exam with peace of mind!”
“I won’t let you go, but thank you for your words. See you again.”
“Yes!”
“Hey!”
The carriage moves with a clatter.
As arranged by Shasha, I set off for Lucedia Academy in a carriage with cushions that even nobles love.
