Chapter 123 – The Celebration and the Beginning of the Wind (3)
“I’ll have to register for the adventurer’s guild☆!”
When we talked about the celebration party, as we heard at the wizard guild, Lalilura said so. Then Fran shook her head.
“Uh? Why?”
“In terms of status, it’s quick to explain that! My residence permit and status are complicated, so wouldn’t it be better to have the status of an adventurer from the Auduumla Guild~?”
“If you don’t like the hassle of introducing yourself, that’s also a way.”
I put down the box containing the golem core and spoke to Fran.
“Lari Lura is a Romanian, but she is a civilian who came from a circus and is staying in Korea. But somehow, she participated in the Golem Subjugation Corps, so if someone asks, the explanation will be long.”
“If you attend the celebration with your senior, wouldn’t it be easier for you to introduce yourself as an ‘adventurer teammate’?”
“Oh, I see. Young Lord, who are you? Maybe you could ask me?”
Fran seemed to understand what she said.
‘It’s a party to celebrate the adventurers who played an active role in battle, so I’ll have to be clear.’
How complicated would it be to explain if a foreign meritorious person was included in the honoring ceremony for a person of national merit? I just got my adventurer’s license and said they brought me because they were on the same team as me.
I asked Lari Lula, who took off her hat and combed her hair with her hand.
“More than that, Ralilura. Do you intend to continue your adventurer job?”
“Well~? To be honest, when it comes to exploring ruins or unexplored places that I don’t know much about, my heart is quite excited~☆? I don’t think there’s much merit to me if I go up from the bottom with sincerity.”
Well, I guess. Because Lari Lura isn’t looking to raise her status like I am. Larry Lura snapped her fingers and said.
“I participated in the last golem subjugation out of interest~ but I haven’t decided what I’ll be doing in the future~.”
“Didn’t even Laliluru make a lot of money? I don’t think I will be able to work for a year or two.”
“I know. With the price of this golem core and the rewards from the celebration, you won’t have to worry about working for a while.”
“Ah, I don’t really need the reward given by the lord, right? It didn’t help that much in the last fight.
When I agreed with Frank, Lari Lura hit her hand. She then she acts cute and she says:
“Anyway, I would be happy if you could get the core of that large earth golem off. I thought Lingling would be good for remodeling and strengthening No. 3~♡”
I exchanged glances with Fran. My girlfriend who sends me a sign that it doesn’t matter. In response, I pointed to the box containing the core.
“I’m still going to divide this into thirds. The distribution of remuneration was such a promise from the beginning, wasn’t it?”
Before leaving Haysbent, we decided to divide the pay for this job into three equal parts. It was impossible to change that now.
Suddenly changing words just because the pie has grown is not something a macho would do.
‘I’m going to use my core as a material for enchantment magic.’
It is a high quality core. The holding time of ᚲ (Kenaz), which was engraved on Fran’s mask, could also be extended.
Other than that, it will be useful whenever you use enchantment magic in the future. Selling it is a waste.
“Hurray! The two of you are so ♡! People are nice~☆!”
“Whoops. Are you that happy?”
As she hurrahed, she asked Franc to the excited Lalilura. Larry Lura held out her V with her index finger.
“Absolutely! These days, the trend is to put cores in puppets as well! It’s nice to have an auxiliary power reactor installed so that you can increase the output according to the magician’s mana!”
“It looks difficult, but can you make it by yourself?”
“Not at all☆! I want to consult an expert!”
I wonder if there’s an expert on puppets in Sargadis. While I was thinking about that, I opened a box called Lalilu. ─Good luck. She was a lari lura, picking up a small piece of core and keeping it.
“I-I’m going to go and register with the Audumla Guild and ask if there is a golem master?”
“Ah. If that’s the case, go with Fran. It’s still in the middle of the day, so it would be perfect if I could stop by here as well.”
I took out the sewing guild’s letter of introduction from my pocket. At the mention of her own name, her francs perked up.
“What is that?”
“You have to follow the dress code to attend the celebration. Since this is an introduction to the sewing guild, go around and pick out clothes to wear at the party.”
“Four?! Something, something! Are you talking about clothes?!”
Calm down, gentleman in a clown suit, circus girl. She made a U-turn and presented her letter of introduction so that Rari Lu La and her Franc, who had come running, could see it.
“A place called the Couturier Guild sponsors party clothes for participating adventurers. She rents out ready-to-wear, but she says she also adjusts the size. You guys go and pick your own.”
“Norm? Let’s go with Nord.”
I thought you would ask that. I said, brushing the hair on Fran’s cheek.
“No, it’s embarrassing that I’m involved in picking out your clothes. Why, you have to choose underwear first for party clothes. We won’t sponsor underwear, so come try on and play.”
Even in this world, dresses are like corsets. In addition, for clothes that reveal the back or chest, you have to buy underwear that fits them.
‘The sewing guild’s sponsorship is probably to sell high-quality underwear and establish connections with high-ranking adventurers.’
I leaned over and whispered into Frank’s ear.
“Go and pick out some pretty clothes. I’ll look forward to it.”
“Oh… ♥”
Fran understood what I was saying and nodded her head.
‘Heh. I’m looking forward to tonight.’
Women’s luxury underwear is mostly erotic lingerie. It is the same in this world.
99.9% of underwear that fits Fran’s chest must be erotic lingerie. Just imagining it makes Juji explode!
“Dress~ Dress~♡! New clothes~! How much is a dress!”
─ Round and round! It was fortunate that Lalilura also seemed excited with the letter of introduction. I pushed Fran’s back to say goodbye.
“Sometimes I have to be in charge of looking after the house to be equal. Come play together I’ll put it in storage when LingLing 3 is dry.”
“Aha♡! Thank you senior! Please tie it up and put it in the warehouse so that there are no spilled parts in a swaddling bag~☆!”
“I’ll be back before dinner, Nor!”
“Uh. Be careful.”
After seeing Fran and Lalilura off, I sat down on a rock by the well. And from within her bosom, he took out one of her scrolls.
─Fallang.
〈 Friar’s Lantern 〉 It was a magic book with instructions on how to use it. Since there are only two scrolls, you can see how easy magic is to learn.
I crossed my legs and read the text written there.
“By putting mana into the structure of the spell… Take mana out of your body… 〈 Sphere 〉 The reason the magic takes a spherical shape is to increase the activation time…”
─Mumble.
I practice concentrating. It took 10 minutes to learn the principles of magic. I poured mana into the spell on my palm and chanted.
“〈 Friar’s Lantern 〉.”
─Paaaaa!
My mana was converted into blue light.
As I heard, it was quite a pretty glow. The floating light moved according to my will, like smoke from 〈 Summon Cloud 〉. It was also possible to adjust the color.
─Suwaaaaah
─Paaaaa!
I practiced mixing and combining different spells, then turned off 〈 Monk’s Lantern 〉 enchantment.
It was a simple task for me, who knows how to handle mana and already handles 4-5 spells. I folded the magic book well, put it in my bosom, and stood up from the rock.
‘Should I go to the gym after a long time?’
Lately, I’ve been busy with my adventurer work, so I haven’t been able to focus on exercise.
Exercise is good. While working, I endured to control my stamina and condition, but let’s do some upper body work for the first time in a while. Thinking so, I found the rock I used the other day and pulled it out.
─Patter!
“… What?”
But the rock was much lighter than the last time. I didn’t feel the weight, but it felt like I was holding a 10kg dumbbell.
“Write it. I can’t use this.”
I who lament and restore rocks to their original form.
It was good to be able to feel the growth, but there is no way for me to do ironing!
10 kg dumbbells can also be used for exercise, but it was difficult to do such exercises with rocks like this. It’s hard to hold regardless of the weight.
And what’s more, I don’t know what exercise I do with light weight.
Professor Brammaton was unconditionally a fan of real-life muscles that doubled as heavy aerobic exercise. How to exercise in the 21st century? I don’t know anything about it because I wasn’t interested.
‘Should I exercise without using mana?’
That’s a method, but it’s not very effective.
Just as muscle fibers grow only when they are overworked, mana must be used to adapt to the body!
Excluding mana and doing strength training was foolish. It’s better than not doing it, but I just do other exercises.
─Juseomjuseom.
I picked up a twig discarded on the floor and dusted it off. It must have been pruned but not pruned, so the thickness and weight were just right.
I held it and gently shook the tree with the remaining autumn leaves. ─Patter! The leaves that had been attached without energy became the last leaf and fell in front of me.
“Bicheonsamgeomryu.”
I held the branch like a sword and whispered.
“──Ghost Dragon Island Dog!”
─Papa-papa-pang!
Hit the falling leaves without using the beast return.
One, two, three, four!
I hit everything up to that point without missing anything, but I got a beep on the fifth. My pride was hurt, so I raised my mana strongly.
“Suyuuuuu of–!!”
Six, seven, eight, beep! Beep! Damn beep!
“You fucking bastards dodged well.”
I clicked my tongue and hit the ground with a branch.
If you watch cartoons or movies, you can sew several leaves with one stab, but fiction is fiction.
It was quite difficult to accurately match the falling leaves. It wasn’t right to just go fast.
Like floating oil on water, the leaves ride the wind and dodge as my attack speeds up.
I can match up to a few of them properly, perhaps thanks to the body coordination training I learned from Ralilura.
However, as the number increases, it misses.
‘Continuous attacks aren’t as easy as they say.’
If you can attack the enemy quickly and accurately, it seems to be advantageous in many-to-one battles.
‘Done. Training is the only answer.’
I resumed breaking leaves, remembering what Semmus, the Ulster redhead, once said.
─Pang! Phut! Phut!
It must have been about an hour since he devoted himself to training while advancing the tree’s hair loss. The tree I was shaking had become desolate with no more leaves to fall.
Sometimes I feel a little sorry, sometimes not.
‘No, it’s not going to grow again next year anyway.’
Then, wouldn’t it be more correct to say that this is not hair loss, but hair removal?
In other words, what I did can be said to be kind like the blue club president who shaves the hair of a 20-year-old student on leave who is about to enlist!
“As expected, I am a good macho.”
As I moved my feet to make the other tree into a hard hit, someone caught a glimpse of me.
─It’s all over the place.
Are you another guest? Since I was going to the well, it was worth coming to fetch water. Thinking so, I quietly waited for that person, and my eyes widened at the unexpected identity of the person who appeared.
“Miss Nefertiti?”
A mithril class adventurer with a bandage on his arm. The master of the continuous attack that made me practice breaking leaves appeared in front of me.
Nefertiti said in an emotionless tone.
“Hi.”
“Ah, yes. Hello. Today, is he going to see me?”
─Nod.
It was a small nod between a nod and a nod. No what If you’re here to see me, tell me please.
“Have you interrupted?”
After waiting for about 10 seconds, Nefertiti asked. You must have heard me swinging a branch.
“Hehe. No. You weren’t watching that, were you? I’m not good enough to show it to Nefertiti.”
“I didn’t see it. It’s rude to peek at other people’s training.”
I’m glad that Nefertiti said to me who was relieved.
“This is the answer.”
“Yes?”
Nefertiti holding something wrapped in cloth to me. I took it for granted as if I was giving back what I borrowed, so I accepted it while my parents were doing it.
─Heavy.
Heavier than expected. But it is light for being heavy.
What are you talking about? It’s like metal, but it’s fucking light. Maybe lighter than aluminum. I came to my senses and said
“In return, what is it?”
I didn’t ask what the answer was. I was a giver and taker, and I was quite active in defeating warlocks.
So, Nefertiti’s answer was short and bold.
“Mithril.”
“… Sorry. I beg your pardon?”
Did you hear me wrong? Miss, what? Slime?
When I doubted my own ears, Nefertiti seemed to think it was a problem with her pronunciation. Opening her mouth wide, she spoke again.
“My mithril, everything.”
