Chapter 48 – 48.Uninvited Guest (1)
***
Two weeks have passed since I started suppressing Poison Bore with the group.
There hasn’t been that much of a change so far, but there have been some minor changes..
First, the palanquin for Pamela was installed in the group as planned.
“Ooh, let me make some air freshener first!”
What should I say about Pamela’s herbal medicine… It was very game-like.
I never expected to see very game-like elements in something like this.
Pamela’s method of making medicine was as follows.
First, prepare a kiln, then fill the kiln with a special solution, and then add ingredients to make medicine.
While boiling the kiln, use manufacturing magic while stirring with a long spatula.
It is said that after repeating the action a few times, the solution inside the kiln begins to glow and the product is completed.
All that remains is to use a large ladle to scoop out the finished product from the kiln.
“Bah, the air freshener is finished!”
The first air freshener that Pamela took out was a lump with a little special solution on it.
“Is that an air freshener?”
“Yes! If you tear off a little bit of this and soak it in water, it becomes an air freshener.”
“I see.”
Since it was a medicine manufacturing business, I thought it would take a lot of effort to grind the herbs or dry the medicine for several days, but the process felt simpler than I expected.
For reference, when manufacturing, the steam was better, but the smell was not that bad.
Still, the air freshener made by Pamela smelled so good that I thought it would be okay to spray it in the classroom on a regular basis..
Other than the fact that some of the group’s clubs became Pamela’s Atelier, there were other minor changes.
One is that Pamela and Atzval’s physical strength increased thanks to daily physical training.
Accordingly.
“Heh… It feels good to sleep after a refreshing workout… So… Cool…”
As I expected, Atsubal became a bed regular.
After exercising, lie down in bed for 10 to 20 minutes.
Also.
“Sihan! Look here! Cheese!”
Snap!
Yeonhwa has recently developed a hobby of taking pictures.
“Ohhohohoho! It came out great!”
Yeonhwa said that after taking her first group photo, she became interested in photography and immediately bought her own camera.
It became Yeonhwa’s hobby to often take pictures of us when we were together in a group.
In keeping with that hobby, I bought an album to put photos in, and bought a small frame for the first group photo I took, and it is currently placed in a weapons display case where no weapons are displayed yet.
Not only was there a minor change in the group, but for two weeks we continued to complete requests centered on Valendia on days when we didn’t have classes.
I mainly hunted various monsters that I could catch in a day in order in the order in which I received the game quests.
It’s unfortunate that I didn’t encounter each monster’s executives or boss monsters every time I made a request, but that doesn’t mean I didn’t encounter them at all.
2 executive monsters.
And by defeating one boss-level monster, I was able to save 7 points and my reputation increased by 10.
If things go smoothly like this, the Adventurer’s Guild will soon introduce requests related to the main quest.
Of course, it’s hard to do requests every day on days when there are no classes, so I listened to everyone’s opinions and took a break from requests on days when I wanted to.
At such times, I would talk to group members as if it were a conversation event.
“Pamela, is the medicine manufacturing going well?”
“Ah, yes! I’m making a magic recovery accelerator right now.”
“If you think about it again, it’s amazing that you can make medicine like this.”
“Oh, no~ hehe, it’s all thanks to you, Master~. Oh, by the way, I got a letter from you the other day! He said he was glad that you were having a good time at the academy!”
“You seem happy to reassure your teacher.”
“Yes! Su, I’ve always worried Master… It’s all thanks to Shihan!”
“No, I didn’t do anything in particular. You did it all yourself.”
Hear stories about Master from Pamela.
“Now that I think about it, I did well to get the family’s permission.”
“Ohhohohoho! Father knows me well. You know that I’m not saying I won’t join the Flame Dragon Club out of thin air! That’s why I calmly talked about what happened with Sihan! I also told him about the possibility of Sihan and gave him permission. !”
“I see.”
“Ah, but sooner or later my father will be able to call Sihan.”
“You mean me?”
“Yes! Who is the man I feel has potential? Not only my father but also the people of the Shu family are curious!”
“Then I guess I should also go sightseeing in Luong then.”
“Ohhohohoho! Luong, please leave the guidance to me!”
Have a conversation with Yeonhwa, such as a preview of a special relationship event that will happen in the future.
“Atsubal, what are you doing?”
“Heh! I’m making a new deck.”
“Deck?”
“It’s Yu Hee-je’s deck! I’ve decided to have a ‘duel’ next time with the guys from Yu Hee-je’s group, so I’m making a strategy deck.”
“It’s a fun game… Aren’t there too many mercenary cards?”
“Heh, you figured it out! This is the new victory deck I developed this time! It’s called the Berserker Spirit Deck! Haha! When this is completed, draw! Every time I do this, a mercenary card is drawn and it’s always my turn…!”
Like the setting of Lucedia Phantasm, we see Atsval becoming obsessed with this world’s card game called entertainment.
Although I had a very useful time as a Rupan user, I did not stop to think about the system of this world that was different from the game.
Abilities in the current status window.
Stamina, strength, agility, magic, luck.
Other abilities can be viewed very intuitively.
Good luck increases luck
Magic power increases.
Agility increases speed, and strength increases power.
Just physical strength.
This was ambiguous.
Of course, I understand that HP SP refers to fatigue and stamina itself.
In fact, after increasing my physical strength, I felt more relaxed when doing physical training.
But I felt that physical strength wasn’t everything.
Physical strength.
It refers to stamina and stamina, but I thought it might also have something to do with defense.
In Rupan, there is a separate defense value, but it is not in the status window abilities.
However, I don’t think the concept of defense itself has disappeared.
And I hypothesized that physical strength and defense would increase as well.
Therefore, I decided to experiment with the points earned by defeating executive monsters and boss monsters.
A day off from requests.
Pamela was in the middle of making medicine, and Atsval was practicing drawing cards in the clubroom.
I approached Yeonhwa, who was feeling refreshed and drinking green tea.
“Yeonhwa.”
“Oh my. What is it, Sihan?”
“I’m sorry, but can you join me for training?”
“Is it training? Hmm, is there any training I can do to help Sihan?”
“There is.”
“Okay, I’ll help you. But… What kind of person is Sihan asking for help from me?”
Yeonhwa blinks her eyes and smiles.
It was a request to achieve Praise Norma today.
“I am asking for help from you, Yeonhwa, who is an indispensable member of our group and is in charge of beauty.”
For your information, Pamela is in charge of the dark cuteness and Atsubal is the gag.
[Passed through praise tolerance.]
“Ohhohohoho! My beautiful self will help Sihan! So what should I do?”
“Let’s go to the gym first.”
“I understand.”
“Pamela, Atsubal. I went to train with Yeonhwa and came back.”
“Heh, do whatever you want… Draw!”
“Well, have a nice trip!”
I headed to the combat school’s gym with Yeonhwa.
There were still a few cadets left in the gym, doing light exercise or light sparring.
“Sihan, what should I do?”
“Hit me.”
“Huh? Ah… Sihan. How about doing that in a place where no one is around? I’m a member of the same group, so I’ll respect Sihan’s secret preferences. If you praise him three times more than usual , I’m willing to hang out…”
“What are you talking about?”
Why are you trying to turn me into a majo?
“Oh my, wasn’t it Sihan’s hobby cooperation disguised as training?”
“No. I think you’re mistaken. And I’m not even done with what I’m saying, so listen to the end.”
“Okay. I guess I got excited. Just keep talking!”
I told Yeonhwa why I had prepared.
“Now that we have Yeonhwa, we have little to worry about defense. But still, we can’t let down our guard.
When surrounded by multiple monsters or when confronting a monster with a special attack speed, it is necessary to block the attack or withstand the attack until the protection is deployed again.”
“So you’re saying you’re training to be tenacious?”
“Yes. I thought it was even more necessary, especially since I was at the front.”
“Please ask someone else besides me…” ” Ah, I don’t think that’s possible.”
Yeonhwa immediately decided that it was inappropriate for the other two to ask for hard-working training.
Both are occupations that use magic.
Moreover, there are no physical melee attack skills.
In the first place, this training requires stamina for the attacker to continue attacking, so it was obvious that the two players with the lowest stamina would get tired while doing it.
In comparison, Yeonhwa received gifted education from the Shu family and also has the skill of throwing out a roundhouse kick by saying hi-yat!
She is the perfect talent to test your defense while being moderately painful.
Yeonhwa and I changed into our gym clothes and then faced each other.
“I’m going, Sihan. If you feel sick and want to stop, please let me know at any time.”
“Don’t worry, come as often as you like.”
“Then… Hey!”
Yeonhwa, dressed in gym clothes, did not kick but instead threw a punch towards my abdomen.
Poop!
“Ugh.”
Ah, this hurts a bit.
It was the first heavy pain I felt after falling into this world.
