Chapter 22 – 22.First Friend (8)
***
After helping with the leather processing, we moved to the weapons warehouse.
“This is the weapons warehouse of our Cats Company!”
“Wow, wow… Wow, there’s so much equipment. This is my first time seeing so much equipment.”
“Ahem. That’s right, it’s a business! Come on, Pamela! Please choose the weapon you like!”
“Uh, yes, yes!”
Pamela walked slowly and looked at the weapons stored in the warehouse.
Meanwhile, Sasha spoke to me in a sly voice.
“Wow~ I didn’t know there was such a way to use the weakening curse spell! Oppa~ you’re really smart~.”
“I was just saying what came to mind. Did you like my gift more than that?”
“Of course! Hehe, Half Moon Bear’s coat, leather gloves, and leather shoes! These are all selling well. Plus, the leather is almost intact, so the quality goes up! Moreover, if you sell Red Half Moon Bear’s products at a premium… Yaaaaa! Just imagining it is fun!”
“I’m glad you like it.”
“Of course! I really don’t regret signing a contract with you! By the way, brother. I’m asking just in case.”
Sasha asked me in a quiet voice.
“Are you a nobleman, Pamela?”
“No.”
“Ah! Well, I thought so. I’m actually glad.”
“What are you talking about?”
“Even though you are an aristocrat, to have low self-esteem like Pamela… It doesn’t take long for the family environment to be the worst.”
“Hmm… I guess so.”
“Well, it’s a bit strange to have low self-esteem like Pamela.”
“Don’t say it in front of me.”
“Of course. How can I run a business without such knowledge?”
After a while.
“Uh, over there…”
Pamela, who had been looking around the warehouse for a while, approached us.
“Did you choose, Pamela?”
“Oh, no, that’s… Actually… Well, I’m not sure what to choose… “
“Huh? You didn’t like it?”
“Oh, no! That’s not it… Well, I don’t know what’s good for me… “
“Really? Well, the equipment Pamela is using is quite good.”
“Is that so? I inherited it from Master…”
“Okay, I understand.”
“Yes, yes?”
“Oppa?”
If you think about it, it was natural.
Pamela’s background is that she was picked up by a witch living in a secluded village and raised as her disciple.
As she may be a noble character who has been trained by looking at various equipment since childhood, it was impossible for Pamela to judge whether her equipment was good or bad by looking at it in the first place.
Besides.
‘If you think about it, it’s character-specific equipment.’
Rupan is a gacha character that can wear various equipment like the main character.
However, unlike the main character whose appearance changes, gacha characters’ appearance remains the same no matter what equipment they wear.
No, only the main weapon changes, but nothing else changes.
‘Of course, it doesn’t mean it won’t change at all.’
Rupan is a so-called subculture game.
Character sales do not end with just selecting the character itself.
It was 3 years since the launch of Rupan.
There is no problem with the quality of the story, but as the balance becomes increasingly unanswerable, users are starting to leave.
Rupan has launched a new commercial method.
That’s the skin arm.
A skin arm that can change the outfit of an existing character!
Individual illustrations are also added!
What’s even more vicious is that they deliberately created a related event episode and gave away one skin for a character playing a supporting role for free, while selling the skins for two characters playing a lead role at regular price.
There’s a skin you can get for free. Oh, you’re Hyeja? I have this feeling, but there is one skin, but there are no skins for the remaining two characters that are really active?
For a payer like me, it’s very frustrating, so it naturally makes me buy the skin.
For your information, this commercial method is often used, so rather than ordinary swimsuit skins, bunny girl, dancer’s uniform, China uniform, kimono, suit girl version, butler’s uniform, nun’s uniform, etc. Are sold.
As the 6th year has passed, there have been cases where new skins were just announced and announced without any events.
Of course, when a skin is released, it is during the gacha period for the character for that skin.
Still, if you have a conscience, when you apply the skin and use the skill with the dedicated lines, you can hear the lines recorded by the voice actor in a slightly arranged manner.
‘Come to think of it, Pamela also had a bunny girl outfit.’
Anyway, those skin outfits are just event outfits.
In the main story, gacha characters always appear wearing only the outfit they first appeared in.
Pamela’s current appearance is exactly as it appears in the game illustration.
The staff he is holding is also the same as the game illustration.
So to speak, this can be said to be Pamela’s exclusive item set.
If you think about it that way, there may be no need to deliberately change to other equipment for Pamela.
In the case of weapons and clothing, you can wear what suits you.
Because there may be exclusive effects that I don’t know about.
‘But it’s not an accessory.’
Earrings, necklaces, or ring accessories will be helpful in strengthening your power since you are not changing the dedicated equipment.
“Pamela.”
“Yes, yes!”
“If it’s okay, may I recommend some equipment that might suit you?”
“Oh, of course! I think it would be better if Mr. Sihan recommends it rather than someone like me who doesn’t even know what’s good.”
“I understand.”
If it’s the right accessory for Pamela, you already know.
There was something I noticed when I was looking around while adjusting my equipment.
Without hesitation, I went forward, picked up the accessories, and came back.
“I think this would be good.”
What I chose was a silver ring with a light blue round gem.
“Oh, it’s a ring of heaven. It’s definitely good for those who use magic!”
Ring of Heaven.
It is an accessory that has a 60% chance to reuse used skills without cooldown, except for final skills such as passive and singing.
I didn’t choose the accessory because I didn’t have the skill yet and I thought it would be better to just swing the spear according to its trajectory rather than using most melee skills thanks to the penetration skill.
However, it is the perfect accessory for Pamela, who uses general skills more than final skills.
The explanation I saw when I picked it up.
[Ring of Heaven: A ring containing the circulating energy of the sky. It has the power to restore the power of the person who used the skill with a certain probability.]
There is an explanatory text.
In the game, the exact number is shown, but here it is explained as a certain probability.
“Can I get this ring that looks expensive?”
Pamela looked at Cheonhoe’s ring and looked at it in turn, as if she was very happy.
“Of course. From the beginning, I said to Sasha that I would provide equipment for the party members I will join. So don’t decline. This is… Okay.”
She nodded and said something that Pamela would like.
“Think of it as a gift to a friend you will become close with in the future.”
“Come on, a gift… !”
“Try it on.”
After receiving her heavenly ring her, Pamela put it on the index finger of her right hand with her trembling hands.
“Ah, ah… Hehe, he, he, hehe…”
And then a gloomy smile flowed from Pamela’s mouth, as if she was extremely happy.
“A gift… From my first friend… A gift… He, hehe, hehe…”
After looking at her ringed hand for about 10 seconds, Pamela lifted her head and looked at me.
“Thank you, Sihan! I’ll keep it as a treasure! I’ll always wear it without taking it off…”
Pamela is so happy that her shoulders are shaking as she strokes her ring.
It’s good to be happy.
“No, at least when you wash her body, take it off and wash your fingers. It’s bad for your health.”
Cleanliness is important.
“Oh, yes.”

“Hey~ I’m shooting it, so please eat as much as you want!”
Sasha felt very good.
An unexpected early reunion with Sihan Lee.
And the corpses of the Half Moon Bear and the Red Half Moon Bear in good condition brought by Li Sihan.
In Sasha’s eyes, materials that make great products have been replaced with a pile of money.
Moreover, Lee Si-han’s unexpected companion.
Pamela, who joined the party, was also a very interesting and unique sight for Sasha.
Pamela’s personality appears very gloomy and timid, but her heart seems kind.
Looking at Pamela like that, Sasha thought.
It’s a good opportunity.
Let’s build a friendship with Pamela during this time.
If the extraordinary Lee Si-han is accepted as a colleague, he must be a talented person with great potential.
Even if that wasn’t the case, from the moment Sasha saw Pamela’s magic that made it easy to peel off her skin with her crushing nails, her liking for Pamela increased significantly.
If Sihan Lee is like a moving warehouse, Pamela is a person in charge of freshness who easily helps speed up the dismantling.
In any case, the important thing in dismantling is time.
The faster the material is removed from the body and post-processed, the better the product quality.
If I had the same mind, I would have liked both of them to quit the academy and get jobs at a commercial company.
But no matter how much you think about it, it’s impossible.
So, let’s build up a friendship with her and use that friendship to get help when she visits the store again in the future.
With that in mind, when Shasha heard from Sihan Lee’s conversation with Pamela that they were planning to go to a cafe to have a snack, she immediately joined in and accompanied them.
“Is that okay? Uh, I’ll pay it too!”
“No, no, it’s okay, Pamela~ I was the one who interrupted you to know that the two of you were leaving! Let’s go.”
Sasha spoke to Pamela with a bright, commercial smile.
“I think I will be seeing Pamela often from now on. In the meantime, I want to become friends with Pamela! In other words, I want to become Pamela’s friend too!”
“Chi, friend… Do you want to be friends with someone like me? If the boss of a company like me is friends with someone like me, bad rumors will definitely spread. An incompetent witch suddenly appears next to the boss, breaking the mood. Rumors will spread! Oh, well, then I won’t be able to see Sasha or Sihan…!”
‘Hmm, I have quite low self-esteem and have a habit of negative delusions.’
“It’s okay!”
Sasha gently squeezed Pamela’s hand as she spoke faster and had negative delusions.
“That won’t happen!” Besides, in my opinion, Pamela is a very capable witch!”
“Yu, a capable demon, a witch. Hehe…”
“That’s why I want to become a friend of a talented witch! Let’s be friends!”
“Chi, friend… I already have two, two, second friends… Ah, hehe, hehe, hehe… I’m happy…”
Sasha thought as she looked at Pamela, who looked like she had all the happiness in the world when she was called a friend.
‘Pamela, I’m worried that you’re likely to get scammed.’
It’s so easy to get over it that it actually makes me worry.
