Chapter 95 – 95.The King Appears (1)
After Porten Laden’s reign ended, the party became even more mature.
And the nobles who had only been watching Ra-den’s heroes began to approach.
The most crowded place is Adelia.
The nobles are also powerful after the king and queen, and they must have seen each other many times.
For them, it feels like getting their face stamped.
“Princess Adelia, you are truly amazing. You led fellow cadets to stop the overflow of the holy water.”
“Wow, the future of the Kingdom of Raden is very bright.”
“King Porton also accomplished many feats in his youth. But Princess Adelia has accomplished feats beyond our imagination.”
“Thank you everyone.”
Adelia lightly brushed off the flattery she received from here and there.
“I never thought I would see Lady Yeonhwa of the Shu family here.”
“Ohhohohoho! Hello, Baron Royden.”
Yeonhwa was talking to a nobleman with ties to the Shu family.
Atsval was standing diagonally, leaning his back against one of the pillars in the party hall, not really talking to the other nobles.
Some nobles tried to approach Atsbal.
“Heh.”
When Atsbal snorted softly, he quietly retreated.
Could it be that he felt that even if he tried to talk to him, a proper conversation would not be possible?
“What is your name?”
“Hey, it’s Pamela!”
“It must be an honor to achieve a great feat together with Princess Adelia.”
“Yes, yes! I honestly can’t believe that someone like me is at such a luxurious party.”
“Yeah, I see! Haha, I’m so lucky.”
Stranger.
When talking to the nobleman, Pamela stuttered and made remarks with low self-esteem, just like when they first met.
Perhaps thanks to this, the nobles only exchanged a light greeting with Pamela and immediately moved on to another place.
When the nobles asked my name, I answered, brought up Adelia, said it would be an honor, and whatever else they said, I responded accordingly.
Of course, this is for ordinary nobles.
When an academy cadet gacha character comes up to you and compliments you appropriately, you talk back.
“Aren’t you interested in strength?”
“Yes?”
“Our Portis can also serve as a double. If you are interested, come and see us. We can pursue a higher level of strength by making requests and training together.”
“Bird, I’ll think about it.”
“Aren’t you interested in that? In our group, we have a lot of opportunities to spar together and find out what we need to improve on or what we need to fix on our own.”
“No, I’m focusing on the group I’m currently in… “
“Not only will you become stronger, but you will also be able to earn generous rewards by dealing with multiple monsters.”
“I already have enough money.”
I recommended it to gacha characters that were not as good as human rights characters but had decent performance, but unfortunately, no one responded positively.
As this continued over and over again, no one wanted to come around me.
The strategy to gain new group members from the party ended in failure.
‘Do I still lack fame?’
As you complete more main story quests, your reputation will increase and so will the status of Fortis, whom you lead.
If that happens, I expected that various gacha characters would come to meet me, so I wasn’t particularly disappointed.
Towards the end of the party, the atmosphere became like the beginning, where people were enjoying themselves together, and I also enjoyed the party by eating the luxurious food of the party with my group members.
It was decided that the reward given by Porten Laden would be divided equally, including the reward, rather than as a group activity fund.
Of course, the Queen declined that she did not have to accept it, but since she took pictures of Fraton and Adeline Laden and left clear evidence of the survival of the first princess, Adelia asked to receive them.
And again, time passed and half of the first semester had passed.
There was no event of any note taking place.
The main quest is currently just about filling up the group.
There has been no news related to the main story yet.
‘Should I go and search for information myself when something like this happens?’
In the game, it takes care of itself even if you don’t move! New quest chapter unlocked! While playing, a quest notification pops up and an event is held, but this isn’t a game at all.
However, most of the main quests, except for Chapter 1, follow a pattern in which the protagonist becomes interested in suspicious rumors while attending the academy.
Of course, I rarely take academy classes, but when everyone else has classes, I walk around the academy and listen to the gacha characters.
However, there was no news related to the main story.
‘The stage of the next main story is… Bitters.’
It is an area with dense forests and is the country of the beast people.
And this is the country where the gacha character I want to recruit as a group member belongs to.
‘I’ll have to tell the group tomorrow that we should expand the scope of our activities.’
Since capturing the Holy Water of Water, I have captured almost all types of monsters that can be caught in Raden.
So, even if I talk to you tomorrow, there won’t be any objections.
After deciding tomorrow’s policy.
‘Then, let’s slowly open it.’
I decided to take the time I had been putting off.
Immediately open the rare item box obtained as a reward.
I destroyed the Monument of Chaos and now have two rare item boxes in my possession.
Last time, a potion that increased abilities was released.
If you get the same result this time, you can save points.
‘Where will something come from?’
I took out a rare item box from my inventory and opened it.
The moment I opened it, golden light erupted.
It’s like a guaranteed 5-star performance in gacha.
‘Is there an ultra-rare item coming out?’
As my heart beat faster and I was looking forward to seeing what kind of item would come out, what caught my eye.
[Luck Increase Potion (+10): A rare potion that increases luck stat by 10 when taken.]
It was a potion that increased the luck ability.
Luck.
I haven’t paid any attention to other physical abilities so far, so the ability still remains at 3.
The word luck was ambiguous, so I had no idea what effect it had.
Maybe there is a + in another game? If there was a river or something, it would have been useful.
Since there is nothing like that while living in this world so far, it is an ability that is even more ambiguous as to what it can be used for.
That was luck.
I never would have thought that I would extract a potion that increases luck from a rare item box.
Also, a potion that increases ability level by 10.
‘If it’s a 10 increase, it’s understandable that a winning presentation is shown.’
However, it was very disappointing that that ability was based on luck.
‘There’s nothing to be too disappointed about.’
Rather, let’s think positively.
The physically revealed abilities have now been sufficiently raised.
So, you can think of it as an opportunity to see results by raising other abilities without spending points.
‘There is still one more rare item box left.’
If you use a potion to increase your luck and open a rare item box, you can get good items.
Thinking about that possibility, I immediately used the potion.
Luck stat increased from 3 to 13.
I opened the inventory again, took out the rare item box, and opened it right away.
And this time too.
Faaaaa!
Golden light emanates from the box.
‘Good!’
A confirmed production has appeared.
I waited for the results with twinkling eyes, believing that as my luck increased, something good would come out.
“… ?”
There was a large bone sitting in front of my eyes.
First of all, it was not on the Lucedia Phantasm item list in my head.
I grabbed the bone and looked at the explanation.
[Infinite Bone: A bone that never wears out no matter how much you chew it. The excellent chewiness and the subtle taste of meat with each bite are highly regarded by some beastmen.]
Even looking at the description, it was an item I hadn’t even seen.
‘Is this the Lucky 13 item?’
I realized that luck doesn’t come right away.
***
The next day.
After eating with Pamela at a store that offers a limited-time breakfast menu, we headed to the clubroom.
Since there was no class today, everyone had been gathered in the club room since the morning.
“I have something to say to everyone today.”
“What do you want to say?”
“What is it?”
“The basic goal of our Fortis Group is the pursuit of strength. Everyone knows that, right?”
“Of course.”
“I know.”
“What are you trying to say?”
“Recently, we defeated monsters in Raden, mainly in Valendia. We must have eliminated at least all the monsters in the Adventurer’s Guild. So, I thought we should move on to the next step.”
“What’s the next step?”
“Yes. Not only in Valendia, but also in other countries…”
When trying to get to the point in response to Pamela’s question.
Taaang!
The door to the clubroom was opened roughly.
Everyone, of course, turned our gaze towards the entrance.
“Is this the Fortis Group?”
The first thing that came into sight along with the lively voice were wolf ears covered in golden fur.
Below that, thick braids that seem to surround the head like a crown, and long blonde hair that goes down to the thighs.
Green eyes like emeralds and elongated irises like an animal.
It had a very thick and abundant golden tail.
Characteristics that tell you that you are a beastman at a glance.
And for me, another characteristic is that I can immediately tell who the person who opened the door is.
The unconventional outfit immediately caught my eye.
A blue jacket worn casually with a blue leather belt around the neck and exposing the shoulders.
White pants with part of the fabric hanging from the front and back on the belt, exposing not only the thighs but also the crotch area, making it questionable whether they function as pants properly.
A square bandage attached near the inner thigh.
And a black bikini-style top and bottoms that contrast with the pants worn in the center of the torso (claimed not to be underwear at all).
A woman from the wolf beast tribe who can be said to be more unconventional than Yeonhwa in terms of exposure.
A face that feels wild and innocent at the same time.
One of the characters I wanted to recruit.
“I am Myka! Who is the strongest here!”
A character with a pure damage coefficient without any buffs, debuffs, stocks, etc.
A character that deals even more damage if you use the special move in the final skill.
Nickname.
King Maika showed up in our club room on his own.
“Let’s have a game with me!”
I guess the luck that came yesterday was working properly.
