Late September, about six months later. Today is Allen's holiday.
I usually run near the town of Granver, but I'm in town today. Today was the day I decided to shop with the money I spent over 10 months.
At the end of April, the butler was called into the butler's office. The story was about the results of Mash's appraisal ceremony. It was said that Mash had a spear talent.
Viscount Carnell was pleased that his child had no talent, but Allen was very happy to hear it.
He was also told through the messenger that Allen was doing well in the city of Granver. He thanked the butler deeply.
Allen walking in the city.
"Somewhat! This is this"
(Hmm?)
"Oh, hello."
You can call out in the city to a face you have seen somewhere.
"Thank you for that time."
"No, I'm glad I'm safe."
It looks like a merchant who helped outside the city before. I can bow my head deeply. A large adult bows to the boy, attracting the attention of those who come and go.
Since the hunting turn, she has saved some merchants and travelers like this merchant. Adventurers who are not so active in winter will be active in spring. Some such adventurers have been saved. About once a month, the bird E summons the monster while searching for help. Actively rescue as it is a hunting turn job. If we need the grass of life, we use the leaf parts. It consumes five E rank magic stones, but I don't think it's a waste.
"Oh, I was there. Allen."
When a merchant is thanking you in the city, you hear him.
An adventurer sitting on a sword. There are also two female adventurers beside.
"Oh, Mr. Raven. Hi. Rita's also Mirushi's also Hello"
"I'm the rice first."
"Yes"
The time is before noon. I am invited to follow me and follow her. Four people enter the restaurant on the main street.
(Speaking of which, it may be the first time you enter a restaurant in the city)
After a long time at work and hunting for my servant, I do very little else. I have never played in the city. It's been almost a year since I came to town, but there are so many places I've never used or visited.
"Hello, are you still collecting?"
While waiting for food, Raven will give you a small bag.
"Huh?
"Natural"
Open the bag. There are about 100 E rank magic stones. I'll give 100 each time, so I guess 100. This is the 500th. Thanks to this, E rank magic stones have also increased considerably. Stores magic stones in hemp bags.
Raven also noticed earlier that he was a member of the Granver family. Somehow I got bald. Some adventurers are also helping, so it probably came from there.
Even after being known, I have met her as today.
"So, why did you call it?"
I haven't told her yet. Since he hadn't been to the inn where Raven was staying, he asked the inn's receptionist for a message and told him to come to the city center square today.
"Actually, I want to hunt a little further away from the city. I would like to know the characteristics of the C rank monsters. How many monsters will appear at once?"
""! ""
The three ravens are surprised. Cooking is brought in. This is a delicious meat dish that looks like several silver coins.
"Do you know? Even C-rank adventurers can die if they are unlucky."
"That's right, so I'd like to tell you if you want information about the demon."
I was told when I met before, but adventurers have a rank. It is said that it starts from the same E rank as the monster and goes up to the S rank. Basically, monsters of the same rank have a hard time killing. He says he may die if he is unlucky.
At the age of eight, Allen is not yet an adventurer, but if he quits his servant, he thinks he's the next adventurer. It's not the information you need in a hurry, but listen to it just in case.
Raven's adventurer rank is also C rank. Last December, when injured, the Ravens were allegedly attacked by armor ants, a C-rank monster. It is said that it is quite dangerous because it can form a herd.
Allen has decided to change the hunting ground from D rank to C rank monster.
The reason is that the goblin has dropped sharply, the level has risen, it is difficult for the goblin to raise the level, and the stat restraint will be released a little bit next year at 9 years old (from 0.8 times the original status to 0%).・ 9 times) ・ E-rank magic stones are obtained and hunted, and there is stock, and there is a margin even if the hunting area is slightly reduced by changing the hunting ground ・ The enhancement level has been increased from 4 to 5.
Not long ago, the Commander of the Knights heard Baron Granver report during a supper that the goblin's damage to the people had been halved in the past six months.
Goblins are not only between the city and the White Dragon Mountains. Perhaps for other reasons, Allen has hunted over 10,000 goblins in nine months.
Recently, finding goblins has taken longer. It means that you have accumulated magic stones, and you have to try the next rank.
While eating at the restaurant, we will listen to the magic book of C rank while writing down it in the magic book.
After the meal, it's time to go shopping. In the 9th month, she goes to buy armor to protect herself.
"welcome"
I want to ask Raven for recommendations, so I enter the store with four people. The shopkeeper sees him as a child, but he does not care.
"What's better?"
"Yes, it's good that it doesn't hinder movement."
Speaking of which, Raven thinks he was not running when he first met.
"Then, it's better not to wear armor, because it's light and durable."
While Raven is consulting ...
"Isn't this all right for Allen? Hey Mercy?"
"No"
Rita brings shorts. Check the size of the clothes according to Allen. I feel like my sister choosing some nephew's clothes.
(Hmm, it looks like a kindergarten or elementary school uniform with shorts even in winter)
"How much is this?"
Emphasize performance rather than appearance. Rather, I only see performance.
When Allen was Kenichi, what he wanted for his equipment was defense. Some games have various resistances. Resistance to magic, resistance to debuff, and so on. I have never sought anything for armor other than defense and resistance. I have never minded how it looks. Especially in online games, there was often a service for decorating equipment, but of course it has never been used.
If the costume is the strongest equipment, you can wear it without hesitation.
Mobility is also important, as we will continue to hunt while traveling. I think it's more important than defense. More important than defense is experience efficiency.
"Um, this is two gold coins."
"Similarly, with non-armor equipment, I think about 5 gold coins."
I will spend more than half the money on equipment.
"Hey money money"
"That's where it is."
・ Death Spider's 5 cloak gold coins are light brown color.
・ White hood 6 gold coins are white to breath resistant
(How about this price?)
"Breath certainly doesn't use C rank monsters."
"Well, that's right. There's no demon on the way to the White Dragon Mountains. Isn't a cloak better for cold weather and camping?"
Raven will give you accurate advice. He says that cloaks are better than resistance. I think that the higher the price, the higher the defense, but follow the advice to make sure that functionality is also important.
"I'll make this cloak."
In this way, the preparations for defeating the C rank monster were ready.
