Elysion Online - Dragon Newt and Summoner
#759 Adventurer's Guild of the Dark Continent and Noah's Kimono
It's my day off today, but Kaito and the others are coming, so I had breakfast and was getting ready for them to arrive when the three of them came over.
'You're here. You can come in.
""Sorry to disturb you,"
When the three of them enter, Kaito gives his thoughts as soon as possible.
''Oh! Does the house feel a little different?
'I changed it to fit the change of clothes. It can't stay summer forever, can it?
That's right.
I was under the impression that being a guy and living on your own, you weren't interested in that sort of thing.
I think that's biased, but I'm not sure that's the case. I'm changing it up with the seasons, for one thing. I feel like my mom is going to be mad at me if I don't get a lot of things right in this house.
'You can have the same room as the last one.
""Yes."
Then I put the juice and food the three of them brought me in the fridge and log into the game. As I left the room, I ran into Vine.
''I'll never forget the humiliation of yesterday~!
Then he ran off. Apparently, Lily and the others' outburst yesterday had hurt him deeply. I have a sister and sister in law too. I feel sorry for him. He didn't stop Lily and her friends from causing it, though.
After meeting up with Arleigh and the others, we headed to the operations command room and found Sabacan-san and Ruin-san.
「「「「 good morning 」」」」
'Good morning. Sorry to be so quick, but can you tell me more about yesterday's battle?
We've been making a lot of noise at the party. We talk about yesterday's battle.
''The last battle convinced you that Tact-san is being targeted by the enemy, didn't it?
'I'm not sure if he's being targeted because he's our de facto commander-in-chief, or because of his history with Nebiros... the terms are unclear.
We're all very fortunate that Shizuku-san wasn't the target.
Yes, sir. But in the future, they will probably be targeted.
It was a display of destructive power that could destroy enemy forces. There's no way the enemy wouldn't be alarmed. However, Shizuku-chan can't use her special moves during those five days due to the cost of her technique, and all of her status has been halved, so I don't think she will be targeted in this event. Even so, I don't know the conditions under which the enemy will aim, so an escort will be necessary. Then Chiffon comes forward.
I'm sure you're aware of the fact that we're indebted to Shizuku and the others, so I'm going to take care of the escort. It's going to be tough for Tetsushin-san and the others to do it alone.
That would be great.
Has there been any enemy movement since then?
'No, sir. It wasn't there. It was a simultaneous battle of dwelling and defense, after all. There was also the damage to the enemy, and I don't think they would come in the morning. Of course we are on alert.
That might be true.
'The strategy meeting was at noon, wasn't it?
'Yes. We have relatively good time for the event. At least today we can confirm the status and strength of the dragon's dwelling place, so the main thing is to have a meeting about it. Also, it seems that Ragnas-san and the others have something they want to discuss with Tact-san personally.
Huh? What is it? You're not going to ask me for a breunach, are you? I won't give it to you.
Well, that means we're not gonna be busy anymore.
"Then you can come with me. I found something the other day that caught my attention.
'Oh! I'm going!
I called Lily and the others and headed with Arleigh and the others to the Adventurer's Guild I'd discovered with Bran.
'...It really is, isn't it?'
When I think about it, this is weird, isn't it?
'Well... this is the Dark Continent. Unlike the continent we've been on, there shouldn't be any guilds.
Of course it's not surprising that there's a place to take requests, but it's obviously strange that at least one guild on our continent is here, isn't it?
''Well, it's no use thinking about it! Let's get inside! I'm sorry to bother you.
'Hmmm... hmm? Sigh.
The clerk, a middle-aged man, looked at Arleigh and sighed.
'Hey! This clerk is terribly rude!
I don't blame you. I can't help but sigh when I see your face in the morning either.
'I don't need to come out like that! Don't give Tact a nod! I'm sure little Lilly and the others will imitate you!
That's not right. Now, there's no point in playing around with Arleigh at this point, so I talk to the clerk.
''Excuse me. Is it correct that this is the Adventurer's Guild?
Hmm? Yeah, that's right. That's right. Except, as you can see, it's a rundown tavern and an adventurer's guild that hasn't sent out any requests.
'What? Is that an adventurer's guild?
Arleigh has the most questions. Because I can tell you that an adventurer's guild that can't take requests is almost non-functional. But then the question arises.
''Then what are you doing here?''
'Hmmm... multiple different types of dragoneut and ex machina. You're a Freetian hero, aren't you?
'That's what I've been told, in case you were wondering. Oh, here's the adventurer's card.
I show him my adventurer's card.
"Surely the name is silver and the name is right... are they guild members?
Yes, sir.
Well, that's all right then. I'm the ancestor of the Adventurers Guild who was sent by the Adventurers Guild a long time ago to scout for the Demon King. We've been sending information about the Demon Kings to the Adventurer's Guild for a long time, following our ancestors' legacy.
I've licked the Adventurer's Guild... you've been sending spies to the Dark Continent properly. And that's pretty impressive that you've been doing this for a long time now. Chiffon asks.
''So does that mean that being an adventurer's guild here is a will?
'Well, yes. Our ancestors who found humans and sub-humans in the Dark Continent foresaw that one day there would be a move to free them from the Demon Kings. And they believed that their connection to the Adventurer's Guild would help them at that time.
I don't know what kind of politics the demon kings are running, but if they are running a politics that belittles the people, it's only natural to think that one day their discontent will explode. Then Arleigh gets excited and asks, "What do you think?
'So, do they have a super-weapon in here or something?
We don't have any such thing. If I did, I'd give it to the king of the land.
Yeah. Well, that's to be expected. But we'll get something out of it. And the guy at the store asks me.
"You got a ticket to change it, didn't you? Do you have it here?
Huh? I've brought one copy with me just in case.
Mr. Sabbatical asked me to take one exchange ticket with me, just in case I didn't know what the item would be used for.
'That ticket can be used here as well. There is a transfer magic circle with the Adventurer's Guild, you can use that ticket here as well. How you use this is up to you.
Ahhh...yes, yes, yes. I understand what the management is trying to say. The enemy I'm about to take on is an undead dragon. I know a weapon that's absurdly effective against this guy with an exchange ticket.
It's the Ascalon. A holy sword and a dragon slayer's sword, this weapon will be effective in a double sense. We all noticed this. Arleigh puts her hand on my shoulder.
'This is the process of giving me an Ascalon, right? Tact.
When you're trying to get something for free, you're out of line.
What are they saying about the tickets I got thanks to the hard work of Lily and the others. This guy.
He's just kidding. How about this as a bargaining chip? If you don't like it, we can pay you next.
No, no, no.
'Arleigh. There are good jokes and bad jokes to tell in this world.
Yeah. This is Mr. Arleigh's fault.
I had no allies in Arleigh.
After that, I reported this to Saba Can, in case you were wondering, and I went to work on production. First of all, I got Lily's sword from Pandora.
Lunatic Mithril Great Sword: Rare 9 Great Sword Quality S
Weight: 45 Endurance Value: 750 Attack Power: 800
Effect: Demon attack, dismemberment, cleansing, absorption of demon substance, disabling of the infernal protection.
A great sword made of an alloy of runesite and mithril. Thanks to Mithril's cleansing ability, it made it possible to fight without time to remove the magic element. It boasts an extremely powerful ability for a being that possesses the power of the afterlife.
When Lily receives it, she is thanking Pandora for it, and Pandora asks for her next request.
'Enough with the weapons, I need you to help me with Hephaistos.
Help Dad! All right! I'm off!
I still think Pandora is going to look different when Hephaistos is involved. I'd like to think that the sun chariot will now be ready in time. After that, the production process continues, and a lot of things will be done before noon. First up is Noah's kimono.
Gothic Kimono: Rarity 9 Armor Quality S-.
Weight: 5 Endurance Value: 1000 Defense: 30
Effect: no magic attack, no mental attack, heavenly protection
This is a women's kimono made from a heavenly robe. It is a fluffy kimono made of black cloth with a lot of lace and ribbons. The celestial robe protects against mental attacks and magic elements, and the celestial blessing gives all weapons their sacred attributes.
This is an awesome kimono. Or rather, this feels like the earliest gothic clothing. Even Noah is surprised by this.
''...Oh~''
I responded to Nowa's request and here's what I came up with. What do you think?
"...great. Perfect. I'll give you credit.
This is a rare picture of Noah stroking the head of a Japanese fox. It would mean that he liked it that much. And Nowa changes his clothes.
I'm dressed. How's that? Ni?
It's new and different. Yeah, it's cute. Pretty, pretty.
"...Mmmmm~
Noah is proud of himself. I knew this kind of clothing was Nowa's favorite. I'm going to ask the Japanese fox for Libina's clothes.
'...What kind of kimono do you want me to make for you?
''Hmmm... oh, do you remember the clothes of the people who attached themselves to me in Ouka?''
I remember. I mean, they were just like that, weren't they?
Not all of them, though.
The word "prostitute" refers to a woman who lets her customers play with her, and in historical dramas, she serves drinks and shows them her tricks. However, it is also true that there are people like that which Wufutsu describes.
'For now, I'll take that kimono from Livina, please.
Yes, sir.
Next, I call Setia.
'What's the matter? Mr. Takt.
I've got a few things I need to make. Can you help me make it?
Drugs?
Isn't that right?
I ask Setia for the contents of the purification bullet that Mr. Sabbacan and the others made for me. I told them my idea and called Mir, and while the three of us were trying to figure out what to do, Arleigh let me know the time.
'What have you been making?'
"Magical Bullets That Torment the Devil.
What kind of demonic bullets are you going to make?
When I told him, he pulled away. Why? I logged out here for lunch.
