"Cocoa, do it! Say hello again today."

"Yeah."

After I finished my rough meeting with Shizukuishi, I quickly logged into the FFO and merged with the cocoa.

I suddenly began to be alert to my surroundings as I remembered something, scratching my cocoa as I strolled along with my long rabbit ears as usual. What's the matter with you?

"Belle, who's got another friend coming?

Oh, yeah, I think we're almost there.

Today, I'm going to have Cocoa build a weapon for the Throw skill, but Elaine's intention is to "connect more with the production job", so we're going to play it together.

Cocoa, you also understood that... you were nervous, and your attitude was more flabbergasted than usual.

"Don't worry, you're a good kid, okay?

"Beh, I'm not worried about anything."

The cocoa that was pointing at you was laughing and gently stroking your head, and the ears that stood there were loose as if they were relaxed immediately.

The expression is just an anxious face that says, "Don't treat me like a child," but it's very easy to understand. Cute.

"Hey, Belle."

"Ah, here it comes!

Elaine shows up and walks to us as we do.

In real life, I used to face each other a while ago, but I greeted each other during the game.

Then, seeing Elaine like that, Cocoa somehow exhaled.

"What is it, Elaine... good."

"Oh, you knew her?

"Ah, no... Tia told me about it."

Oh, I see.

Tia and Cocoa seem to be very close, so it's no wonder Shizukuishi knows Elaine as the only real and friendly person.

"Ah, as I heard, you're getting along with Tier a lot... hmm?

"Huh, what?

On the other hand, when Elaine saw Cocoa's reaction, she quickly began to look up and observe.

Elaine leans her neck toward Cocoa, who distances herself with confusion.

"No, your facial expression resembles that of a girl you know?

"Ah, well, that makes all the avatars look alike and closer."

To Cocoa, who talked desperately, Elaine just overflowed with "Hmm" and reached out.

"Well, I guess I already know, but I'm Elaine. Nice to meet you, Cocoa?

Uh-huh.

The two of you hold hands and sign up for a friend.

At the conclusion of the conversation, the three of us quickly went to Cocoa's home.

Arriving there, Elaine exhales with admiration, lightly decorating the monsters that appear along the way.

"Well, it's certainly small, but it's pretty solid inside. It won't be wasted."

"Well, I checked it out and bought it."

As Elaine's praise drifted away, Cocoa lined up the items with Docadka on the table.

Knife, spear, boomerang... there's a lot of stuff.

"In the meantime, he said he wanted a throwing weapon, so I tried to make one that I could make. I've never used it, so I can't recommend which one is better... but if you're worried about it, I'll mass produce it."

"Eh, these are all throwing weapons?

Yeah, we need to talk about the price.

This cocoa is called Sarasara again, but there are more than a dozen kinds of cocoa just lined up here. It seems that there are still many things to be said in detail.

Uh-huh, whatever you say is good, you're in quite a bit of trouble. What do we do now?

"Well, it depends on how you use it. The knife system is cheap and easy to get around, but it's not powerful at all. Conversely, the spear system is not as powerful as the hammer, but it is just as expensive as hitting with a bill tray. Boomerang is unusual to use as a weapon in this hand, but it is a little unstable because it is random how many times it is used on a knife."

Hmm...

Having listened to Elaine's flirtatious commentary, I became more and more troubled.

It's better to be more powerful, but it's tough to fly too much money right now... if you're talking about applications, that's the best thing you can do if you can knock the flying type off the ground.

"If you need anything, you can try throwing it outside. If it's about two or three pieces at a time, I'll serve you."

"Hmm? But if you do that, Cocoa will have to bear the burden..."

"The more customers you have, the more money you can earn. Don't worry about it. Or let me take another screenshot."

"Really? If that's okay, I'd appreciate it, but...."

Pushed by the cuddly cocoa, I decided to try out a weapon thrown at my goblin opponent outside for the first time.

I said two or three cocoa, but it's bad to go that far, and I have to make a good judgment once each time.

"So, what can I get you, Elaine?

"Oh, yeah. I'm doing it with Quinny Maine now, but it's not the only flavor. Can't you make a sword? Shuriken"

"... I don't think I can do it, but the original design of the weapon is expensive.

They're negotiating Elaine's throwing weapon while I try it out.

My sword is really going to be a ninja. How is it different from Kunai?

With all my doubts, I first threw a throwing knife around a nearby sand goblin.

First of all, I was aiming for the head of the weak spot, but it's a little off, and it's stronger than a rock. That was enough damage.

Honestly, it seems tough to fight the flying type on its own. What did the abnormal state medicine say? Will it change again if combined with such a thing?

"It's okay, it's here. It's a trump card that I use sometimes."

"Well, the bigger it gets, the more powerful it is, but... what are the materials? Iron?"

So please. And there are two sizes, big and small. "

"... I don't know"

In the meantime, knock down the incoming goblin, and then throw a spear that says it's powerful.

Big and bulky inside, I set my sights on another goblin and threw it as hard as I could.

The belly-pulled blow did more damage than I expected and quickly defeated the Goblin. Oh, wow.

Hmm, but hey, I've already started stalling at a distance of about five meters to the Goblin, and no matter how powerful this range is, I can't fight the flying type... next.

"What about design?

"When I say" shuriken ", I think it is four blades. Like this....."

Hmm.

Boomerang... wow, when I threw it, it bent out in a strange place. I think we should get used to it... but it's not as powerful as a throwing knife. Hmm, it's nice to be able to use it around, but it's a little bit like this.

Hmm, what else... oh? This is....

"Well, that's how it is.... Belle, have you decided what to make?

"Yeah, it's perfect!

Have we finished talking? The cocoa that came out of the cabin pulls me in the face.

Behind his gaze is a goblin that grows an axe from his head, scatters a bright red effect, and disappears.

"I thought about hand axes at first, but it feels good to have a good balance between distance and power. I liked the way the cane handled the scratch!

In the meantime, Cocoa doesn't move when I tell her why I chose her.

Elaine peeked at her face from behind.

"Belle, you're a barbarian anyway."

"... yeah"
