Chapter 229

"What do you think? That was a boring story, wasn't it?"

Meleoron asked in a hoarse voice.

"............

I'm sorry. I forced myself to say it..."

As I apologized, Meleoron shook his head.

"Mm-hmm. It feels good to talk.

Arigato, you two. Thank you for listening to this story."

Meleoron hugged Seam, and Seam yelped, stroking his hair.

Uranus, who spent most of the time listening, was sicker than Seam and cried more. I wonder if you still remember your younger sister. Alright, siblings.

We can't let ourselves just sit around; we are always spacing out.

Just as we were chatting occasionally, the sunset finally shone into the forest.

Uranus stood up.

"Yes...

It's about time, let's end it for today. Are you alright, Aisa?"

"Yes..."

"Meleoron and Seam are only halfway through, but they have finished their Training for today.

One thing. However, you two, please don't forget to increase your Aura with Training before sleep."

"Yes."

"I know. Especially since I still have energy.

I will use Aura before sleeping."

I was worried about whether he would train properly, but I didn't need to worry...

Both of them have enough motivation to train seriously. I believe you won't skip it. Even if it's a bit harsh, it might be fine.

Ah, but I can't talk about Uranus's Training at all... I can't. The atmosphere for talking about these things isn't right, and I don't have the energy today either.

I also stood up—

One thing. Looking back, I was wearing Heavy clothes. I completely forgot.

When I eagerly took off my clothes, the three of us were startled.... Wasn't it? I forgot, and everyone else forgot too.

I put my vest and Wristband into a bag and buried it underground just in case.

After cleaning up, we turned our backs on the training ground and headed toward Otania.

Come on. Gohan! Delicious Gohan after Training! I'm going to turn my head.

Just as promised, Uranus recommended a delicious place! I visited the restaurant "Autumn Sky".

It was a fairly authentic Japanese restaurant, and we sat in a private Tatami Room to look at the menu. Ah, doesn't it smell fragrant? The whole room smells like delicious food.

Hmm. But, they all have good prices. I'm a little nervous.

If this were reality. I have money, and if I wanted to, I would splurge. Game money is precious, so if you push yourself too hard, you'll hang yourself.

Uranus looked at me with an apologetic face,

"Aisa...

I don't mind if you eat until you're full, but I hope you eat as much as you can. I don't mind if you want something more expensive, but that's a bit..."

"Oh, yes.

I'll work it out..."

I know. This is the foundation of the Japanese style, that sort of thing. Even if it's just Gohan, it's fine.

What should I do? I really want sashimi. Sashimi is 2500 Jenny, but is that okay?... Never mind, just a little bit. I think I can eat a few bowls of rice with this.

Matsutake is also good. But it's ridiculously expensive. Salmon is reasonably priced. Please pause. You can't miss the ginger-grilled eggplant. Chawanmushi is a must. And—

E. Why are you all looking at me with terrified eyes?

—While eating—

After dark, we strolled through the streets of Otania.

Hahahaha. No, I ate, and ate, and ate. The autumn fruits were all delicious. As expected of the shop recommended by Uranus.

Hahahaha. But the money flew away too. When Uranus was told the bill was 15,000 Jenny, he was a bit teary-eyed.

... Sorry. I'm reflecting. After a long period of full-scale training, controlling the Heavy.

Insects flickered under the not-so-bright streetlights.

From the fields and bushes, you can hear the beautiful sounds of insects. Not bad, an autumn night. As expected of the autumn season, I grasped it tightly.

"What do you plan to do after this?"

Meleoron asked Uranus. Come to think of it, I haven't decided.

"For now, maybe Masadora... because I want to replenish my Spell.

If I move it using a Spell, there will be 7 'Return' cards left, and if I don't organize my money soon, it will put pressure on my Free Pocket.

Most importantly, I need to obtain 'Drift' so I can go to the next sightseeing destination.

Yes... then staying in Masadora is appropriate. Maybe there are other players in the same inn."

Ah, that's a bit bad...

"Wouldn't it be better to stay in another city?

Meleoron and Seam will consume their Aura before sleeping."

For safety reasons, I want to avoid Masadora if possible.... I might forget a lot of things, but yesterday was about standing out in the Antokiba Monthly Tournament.

"Hmm."

As long as I have enough Movement Spell, I can sleep anywhere...

So there are 4 candidates. Antokiba, Eril, Otania, and Limeiro.

I have never stayed in Limeiro, so I don't know much about it, so probably three."

Hmm. I only stayed in Antokiba, so I cannot make a judgment without information.

"Are there any characteristics to the inns in these three towns?"

"Hmm?... It depends on the budget.

In Antokiba, if it's cheap, it's a facility where you can stay like yesterday, and if it's expensive, it's a luxury Hotel.

As you would expect, Eril and Otania are Japanese-style cheap Inns, or luxury Inns. The Japanese-style Inn feels like a traditional Japanese restaurant, while the cheap Inn is just a large private residence.

Among the three, Antokiba is the hardest to encounter other players. Eril might have the lowest encounter rate with players. Otania has a training ground as my base, and if I check into the Inn, I can go back and rest for 24 hours at any time."

Hmm.... Uranus won't say anything, but tomorrow's meal might change. What should I do?

He thought about it,

"By majority vote. Raise your hand.

First, humans who want to stay in Antokiba."

No one raised their hand to avoid other players. I want to take a break.

"Then Eril."

We looked at each other.... I cannot raise my hand. Do you think so too?

"Yeah... then is Otania okay?"

Four hands were raised. Ahaha, that's right. Ponzu is honest. The Gohan here is really delicious.

Uranus laughed,

"Hmm, that makes sense, so let's do that.

I am wasting my Movement Spell, but let's go to Masadora and then return here."

We wandered around Otania without thinking about any specific destination. Rin, Rin, the sound of insects vibrated my eardrums comfortably.

After enjoying a short autumn night walk, we visited Masadora in "Revisit".

First, organize the cards at the Trade Shop. Seam sells cards one by one, considering 50 sales.

Among the 3 I got, 2 are "Pearl Locust". One extra "Crazy Garnet".

I will also dispose of 【Galgadarl】, 【Statue of the Goddess of Fortune】, 【Divine Tree Mysterious Bird】, 【Divine Tree Guardian】.

Due to quantity adjustment, 2 "Obstacle" were sold. Also, I sold 4 "Communication" on the last page, which disappeared as soon as I entered the card shop.

1,135,800 Jenny. Save it, the saved amount is about 2.39 million Jenny.

Uranus took out 110,000 Jenny from there. Now I have 440,000 Jenny.

It seems Uranus intends to use those 440,000 Jenny to buy a card pack...

We have 63 cards in our free pocket, excluding money. Since there are 117 vacancies, 44 packs will increase by 132, exceeding 15.

So, it seems he is just going to use up the 15 "Roster".

"In short, I can accept it like an idiot again."

This is a G-Class with a limit of 350 cards, so this might be true. No one will come to collect it.

Uranus checked the Specified Pocket Card and eye-catching spell cards in the "Roster". It seems no one has obtained SS-Class so far, and S-Rank seems to have hardly been taken. What bothers me is that "Separation" has already been obtained 8 times. Is someone collecting them?

Then, even at this time, I entered the card shop without a line as usual and bought 44 packs.

There are 178 cards in total, including the 46 cards he owns.

"Spy/Steal" 5 cards

"Clairvoyance/Full Laparoscopy" 4 pieces

12 pieces of "Barrier/Defense Wall"

"Reflection/Reflection" 5 cards

"Magnetism/Magnetism" 1 piece

4 cards of "Theft/Thief"

1 "Theft/Thief"

3 "Exchange/Trade" cards

20 "Return/Return"

1 "Imitation/Transformation"

2 copies of Copy/Clone

"Downgrade/Downgrade" 4 cards

2 copies of "Beginner/Departure"

2 cards of Divination/Visual Vision

"Drift/Drift" 3 cards

7 "Collision/Collision"

"Castle Gate/Castle Gate" 5 pieces

2 copies of "Forgery/Forgery"

1 "Plunder/Robbery"

3 copies of "Corruption/Corruption"

1 "Compromise/Compromise"

2 "Discovery/Infiltration"

"Dark Curtain/Shading Curtain" 8 pieces

2 copies of "Holy Water/Holy Water"

4 copies of "Chase/Tracking"

3 "Stone Throwing/Stone Throwing"

9 copies of "Signpost/Signpost"

10 copies of "Analysis/Analysis"

12 "Treasure/Lottery"

3 items of "Adhesion/Adhesion"

1 "Purification/Purification"

11 copies of "Recycle/Recycle"

9 copies of "Roster/List"

6 copies

10 copies of "Communication/Communication"

Once again, I cannot draw "Leave". Without "Apply"... I can still understand why "Ken" and "God Eye" don't come out, because they are S-Rank. I don't even have "Assault Bullet"... well, I turned it into a "Paladin's Necklace" yesterday.

Just like yesterday, Uranus spreads the cards on the table inside the shop and ponders. He seems to be formulating a plan, holding a memo in his hand, considering the Spells in our Binder.

Uranus reaches out, dodging a "Plunder" and "Corrosion" to the side.

"Is it for the necklace?"

"Yeah. B-Rank Spells are hard to draw, so I can't guarantee the quantity.

I need four right away..."

Hmm. One yesterday, one today, so this is the second reason. I need at least the headcount.

"But you sold a B-Rank 'Pearl Locust', didn't you?

And, this 'Compromise' seems to be B-Rank too?"

At Meleoron's point, Uranus frowns.

"Even if I have it, a 'Pearl Locust' that can sell for 80,000 is too much of a waste.

Even if I sell 'Plunder', it's 10,000, right?

When you want a C-Rank Card, you might use 'Compromise', so I want to keep it aside. If it were a dubbing, I would consider it, but it's just one."

"Are there no reasonably priced B-Rank Cards?"

I don't know, so when I ask, Uranus's face turns sour.

"Sometimes it's better to sell such cards unless you are in urgent need of a necklace.

Ultimately, the most effective method is to turn cheap, useless 'Plunder' or 'Assault Bullet' into a necklace with 'Corrosion'. This will take some time."

I see. Well, I don't have a card I desperately want to protect with a necklace.

"Afterwards, I will draw an unnecessary B-Rank with 'Treasure Draw', but...

The probability of drawing a B-Rank or higher is about 1 in 100."

I know it won't come out easily, but is it that low?

"The probability is lower than I thought..."

"It's just a Lottery, that's how it is."

While speaking, Uranus grabs the bundle of "Treasure" and flashes to the side.

We walk outside and start casting Spells like yesterday.

Uranus uses a "Corrosion" to transform "Plunder" into a "Paladin's Necklace". He picks it up and puts it in the pocket of the jumpsuit Seam is wearing.

I use 2 copies of "Pursuit". Making sure you know where Uranus and Meleoron are.

Meleoron uses 3 copies of "Adhesion". This way you can see the three designated pockets.

Seam uses 2 copies of "Pursuit" just like me. Now you know where Uranus and Meleoron are. Now only Seam and I don't know each other's whereabouts. This can also be solved by obtaining two copies of "Chase".

We each use 3 "Treasure Lottery".

The results are E2 table, F3 table, G3 table, H4 table. The card ranks and contents are smooth. Hahahaha.

"Hmm..."

While sighing, we go to the Trade Shop again to dispose of the unwanted Spells.

Repeating the routine of selling one card at a time, everyone can finally buy the designated B-Rank Pocket Card.

"Ugh... this is annoying."

Meleoron, the last one, claps his hands and mutters. Correct. But with this, I am finally released.

"... I haven't sold 50 times in Antokiba yet."

Gori and Uranus. Uh... that's right.

Seam reluctantly points at himself. Uranus nods.

Meleoron and I pat Seam on the left and right shoulders.

"Do your best."

"Troublesome."

Uranus says with a smile,

"Seam just sold the 'Truth Sword', so there are 49 left.

Tomorrow I will sell cards in Antokiba."

"Gyaaaa."

49 transactions with Gori. I don't like it either.

After completing the mission in Masadora, we returned to Otania with "Return".

We slowly walked through the cool autumn town.

"Ah. I want to have a good rest today."

Meleoron said this while turning his head. Seam was the same, but for some reason, they were both carrying backpacks. I heard an important story, and I think I want you to rest well.

"But it's still a bit early, it's already past nine o'clock..."

If you are tired, you should rest now."

"I mean, I'm sweaty, and I want to change my clothes.

Take a bath, drink some Beer, and then say: 'Pah!', I'm going to do it.

Do the children know?"

"Cormorant..."

My groans harmonized with Uranus. It's fine, but I hope you go in alone. Not exactly.

"Hm? What do you mean?

Do you mean an Inn where one can take a bath is fine?"

"Well, I don't want to go out after I take a bath.

Shouldn't you Recharge your Mobile Phone soon? There is a place to do that, right?"

"But that place..."

In Otania, the only place that has both is the Inn."

Uranus said passively. We opened our eyes.

"King...

Uh, do you want to stay at an Inn?"

Not expecting this reaction, to the flustered Uranus,

"I Absolutely want to stay."

"Of course."

"Everyone, do you want to stay at the Inn!?"

At Meleoron's call,

"Oh!"

The enthusiasm of the three, including Meleoron, overlapped Together.

"... Omara."

Uranus half-closed his eyes, spat out a retort, and sighed, "Heh..."

"Wow.

The Inn for today. But two double rooms. Is that okay?"

"Shh!"

High-five Meleoron and Seam. Well, this is a good thing.

"Uranus, is the room assignment the same as yesterday?"

"Yes.

Me and Aisha, Meleoron and Seam."

Saying this, Uranus started walking. If you don't mind Uranus being Together with me, I don't object. I could only talk about this yesterday.

Anyway, we followed Uranus lightly.

Uranus scratched his cheek,

"Really... it's hard to be a team.

The income is good, but the money is also flying away."

Ahahaha. Especially my food expenses, I eat quite a lot. Sorry...
