Chapter 149 – Towards the Next Summoning Equipment (2)
After receiving 4 gold as compensation from the Prash Kingdom, we left the kingdom after promising to receive the remaining 11 gold in the future.
When we left the kingdom, all the fishmen came out to see us off.
“Heroes, thank you once again for saving our kingdom from crisis. If it weren’t for you, our kingdom would have disappeared from the map.”
“We also received help in summoning Freyja and received money as a reward, so it is mutually beneficial. Then, let’s go. See you next time.”
I turned around and waved my hand towards the fishmen.
There, my characters were waiting for me, ready to move.
Finally, 7 people gathered together.
Now, if I summon only the one remaining Elsha to this world, all my characters will gather.
I wondered when I would be able to summon all eight characters, but my heart swells when I think about the fact that there is only one left.
Doesn’t this mean that our hardships in this world are almost over?
Originally, I was going to destroy the dimension gate Numeron after collecting all eight characters, but now that I have summoned Freya, I don’t think there will be any problem if I go straight ahead.
Of course, I don’t think this because Elsha, who will be summoned last, has low combat power.
Conditionally speaking, she would be the second strongest character after Yuria.
However, it is a problem when considered conditionally.
So, I don’t think about it in terms of rankings.
This is a problem because it is a character that contains the absurdity of writing it as conditional and reading it as conditional.
Perhaps because it is an assassin-concept job, Elsha’s job, Rogue, has a passive that increases damage when making a back attack when attacking from behind.
The problem was that the back attack was structured to produce slightly more damage than other jobs that deal normal damage.
It is an ironic job in which the damage is lower if you do not hit with a back attack, and it was one of the jobs that was not often trained because the difficulty was considerable due to the conditionality and it was difficult to expect proper potential.
It’s a bit of a sad reality, but my fingers aren’t good enough to draw out all that potential, so I tried to hit the back attack as much as possible, but I couldn’t perform as well as I could.
So, when I was ranking the strengths of my characters, I thought I shouldn’t say that Elsha came in third place.
But now, since I’m not controlling it, but Elsha is attacking directly, will she be able to attack well with the back attack judgment?
It is also questionable whether that passive is actually applied well.
There is no way to check since the seven characters summoned so far were occupations that did not have such conditional passives.
Well, you can find out if you summon Elsha.
I moved to the location where everyone was waiting.
“Then shall we move to Libreville first?”
“Are you planning to use the 〈 Return 〉 skill you used last time?”
I nodded at Ellie’s words.
It is an open-air skill that allows you to instantly travel a long distance.
“Looking at it now, the skills Jinu uses are all great skills.”
“I see. Inventory? You can store things in different spaces, you can move quickly over short distances, what else was there?”
Yuria was counting down the skills I used one by one and tilted her head as if she had forgotten something.
“I don’t know how you did it, but you were clearly able to stop time for a moment, and the last skill you’re about to use is 〈 Return 〉.”
“Oh, that’s right! There was that. After all, he was our youngest.”
When Yuria couldn’t remember, Rachel told her the remaining 〈 Time Stop 〉 and 〈 Return 〉 skills.
Yuria found Rachel so cute and hugged her and stroked her hair.
“Uh, sister! Stop it! I’m embarrassed…”
“It’s because they’re all cute. All you have to do is take it!”
Yuria didn’t stop stroking Rachel, no matter what she said.
“Yuria, now the master will use the 〈 Return 〉 skill, so stop and come here and hold her hand.”
Perhaps Rien thought Yuria was dissatisfied with her actions, so she called her to stop.
It didn’t matter to me because I wasn’t in a hurry right now.
Starting with Lien’s words, we joined hands and formed a circle.
I checked that everyone was connected by hand and mentally selected Libreville from the list in skill 〈 Return 〉.
Then, as we have become accustomed to, the scenery changed in an instant and we, who were in the sea, came up to the land.
I’ve gotten used to this change, but the headache that comes after it still hurts.
After that, it was bearable, perhaps because I now knew how much pain there was.
However, not only Noah and Rachel, who experienced the 〈 Return 〉 skill for the first time, but also everyone who had only experienced it once or twice frowned and placed their hands on their temples.
“Ugh… This really hurts.”
“What is this? It hurts quite a bit, right?”
“Ugh.. It hurts so much…”
In particular, Noah and Rachel, who experienced it for the first time, sat down in their seats holding their heads as if they were in a lot of pain.
“Noah, Rachel. Are you okay?”
“Ah, master. There’s no need to worry. It hurts more than I thought.”
“Uh… It’s okay… It’s okay…”
When I approached Noah and Rachel and asked if they were okay, they both said they were okay, but they didn’t look okay at all.
Is it surprisingly weak against these attacks?
〈 Return 〉 I was told that I would get a severe headache before using the skill, but I guess I didn’t know it would hurt this bad.
But after a while, everyone looked okay, as if the headache had gone away.
“Then shall we go back to Cherry? She’ll be waiting for us.”
Before moving to the next location, I had to go to the cherry I left behind in Libreville.
We still have some of our equipment left there, so we have to go get that too.
“Who is Cherry…?”
Freya said, tilting her head and looking at me with an expressionless expression.
The face was obviously expressionless, but it gave off a feeling of what that meant.
“Hmm? I saw you last time when I came with you. There was a cat that was staying at the dorm, right? I wonder if you don’t remember.”
“Um… A cat beast… A cat beast…”
What?
I definitely remember saying hello to Cherry, but I don’t remember Freya at all.
“Oh, now that I think about it, it looks like there was a moving creature where I went to change into my swimsuit.”
Did you remember it as a moving creature?
I clearly remember that they had a conversation, but Freya seemed to have no idea about Cherry.
“Jinu, Freya is surprisingly fierce. She doesn’t pay any attention to things that are outside of her interests, so she doesn’t remember much. Don’t worry too much about it.”
As I was looking at Freya with a puzzled expression, Renia came up to me and spoke to me.
“Is that so? That’s surprising. It seemed like you had a good memory, but it doesn’t seem like that.”
“Usually people are better at remembering their own interests, right? For Freya, that’s just to a great extent. Still, she probably won’t forget information about Jinu until she dies. That’s the same for us, too.”
Well… I guess it’s because everyone likes me.
“I might remember it again once we meet. Shall we go back to the dorm first?”
We entered Libreville to move to our accommodation.
Am I finally walking on land again?
Even though it had only been two days at most, I felt grateful to be able to walk on land.
After all, people must live on land.
We arrived in front of the accommodation where Cherry was staying in Libreville.
“Right now, Cherry is staying alone, so I took her one room, but since there are so many people, should I take her in two rooms?”
“I think so. Last time I booked a room, I checked how many people could stay in one room, and it said the maximum was 5.”
Ellie answered what I said.
Did you check it in that short period of time?
I think I checked this out in advance when I briefly went to buy a swimsuit and brancho before heading to the Kingdom of Prash.
I think it’s important to everyone whether or not they can sleep in the same room as me.
In that case, I will have to decide who I will share a room with.
“Then, for now, I will share the same room with Jinu.”
“Renia, do you have no conscience?”
Renia boldly declared that she would be sharing the same room as me, and when Lien heard that, he glared at Renia and said,
“Leen is right. Renia should use a different room this time.”
“What? Why!”
She, like Lien, glared at Renia, including Yuria, and gave strength to Lien’s words.
Lenia, who saw this, looked aggrieved and said she had no idea.
Yes, I thought because I knew from experience so far that this situation would definitely arise if I didn’t decide.
So I declared.
“Now, let’s not fight each other. There are a total of 9 people including Cherry, so we can divide into 5 or 4 people and share a room. The three people who will be sharing the same room with me are Freya, Noah, and Yuria.”
I made a promise to Yuria before leaving the Kingdom of Frashing, and I thought it would be a good idea to share the same room with the other two in order to have a more in-depth conversation.
Of course, it was inevitable that the expressions of frustration and sadness on the faces of Renia, Ellie, and Lien when they heard my story.
