`` How about !? ''

When I turned around with a lot of fire,

“……… Buff!”

A lotus blew out.

She is kneeling and beating on the ground with trembling.

Why should I behave that way ...?

Haruki reaches out to her neck while she is astonished.

Then, the feel of the bush was so big that it was incomparable from before.

"Oh!"

The wings are bushy!

The length of the wings has not changed.

What has changed is density.

In the past, it was a ring with only about 10 to 20 blades connected, but the current blade ring has several times the number of blades as before.

The size of the wing is also different.

The feather wheel, which used to be small in the past, has become a combination of various sizes.

Some of them were larger than the palms of Seiki.

As he moved his body, Seiki immediately noticed a difference in the sharpness of his body.

Item enhancement is not a date.

But ... Seiki holds his chin down.

"It's a bit dangerous to change the look when you fortify items."

"... how is it?"

Finally, the lotus returned from the laughing crucible tilted his head.

"No, if you look suspicious, wouldn't you?"

"…………eh?"

now!?

Fire Lotus opened his eyes and saw Seiki.

He has long been suspicious.

I thought of something more ... but Haruki doesn't seem to think she's suspicious at all.

A plant that wriggles on a mask floating in the air.

Feathers grow from the neck and polypods parasitize the body.

A white face that emerges in the bag and two tentacles that scatter mucus.

Even though he looks like this from the surroundings, he really thinks he's not a suspicious adventurer ...

No ... maybe the other way around?

Fire Lotus throbbed at the terrible imagination he had.

Maybe he's afraid of the item "looking normal" !?

Certainly, he is solid with his unique equipment.

If he was equipped with "normal-looking armor" ...

-Some people may be suspicious!

A terrifying fact reached by speculation, the lotus forgot even to breathe and stopped.

"……Hmm?"

Suddenly looking at the solidified lotus, Seiki turned her eyebrows.

What kind of surprise is the lotus?

Because Haruki deals with daggers with a low level of subjugation, he chose armor for performance.

It is welcome to improve the armor performance by strengthening the items, but when the appearance changes, you may be suspicious that “Is it something you used special items?”

If it changes completely, you can make an excuse that it is an item dropped in the dungeon.

However, if the appearance of commercial equipment changes, Akane will definitely notice.

You can easily imagine the future where you are asked, "What's wrong with my armor !?"

Therefore, Haruki was worried that she would not be suspicious of enhancing the items.

"I hope it changes to a strong look."

"No, no change."

"eh?"

"What?"

Seiki and Fire Lotus stopped moving to each other.

The air flowed as if to measure the time.

"… Huh, why not try it with other equipment? The change will be different for each item. There may be some items that Sky Star likes!"

"That's right?"

I don't know what I like, but ...

Surely, Haruki nodded and looked down at the skill board.

[Item enhancement]

[Enhancement points] 2589 pt

Planter 0

Silver Wolf Dagger 0

Seiki next decided to strengthen her planters.

The rationale is simple: the planter is always in your bag, so it won't be visible to anyone, even if it changes significantly.

"Rare, a little better?"

Seiki carries the rare and puts it on the stage.

What is that? And Rea look around.

"We will strengthen rare planters from now on, because if they were hit and the planters would break, it would be a disaster."

At the moment, that's not the case yet.

Although countermeasures are being taken against back attacks, countermeasures have not yet been taken when the blown-up Seiki falls from his back.

Another method was to order a reinforced planter from an armor shop. However, there are no workshops that make reinforcement planters.

Seiki put the issue on hold for the time being, because she didn't know where to ask.

However, this may solve the problem of ordering enhanced planters.

Seiki picked up the board, but asked Rea before hitting the enhance button.

"Rare. Are you satisfied with this planter? Is there any problem with the root condition?"

"(It's spacious and comfortable. It's a bit soft.)"

Leah skipped that thought when she asked Haruki.

With rare lengths, the roots will usually not fit into the planter.

It seems that the area is being adjusted well using the treasure house.

Haruki nods to Leah's answer and taps the board.

"Do you want to strengthen your planters? 』

"Strengthened 0/1"

"Points required for reinforcement 1pt"

"Y / N"

"Less!"

Too few points needed, Seiki suddenly peeled his eyes.

And the maximum reinforcement value is +1.

Apparently, the enhancement points and maximum enhancement values are related to the grade of the item being enhanced.

"I bought it at a home improvement store ..."

Not for adventurers.

Does it make sense to strengthen it?

But only one point is needed.

There is no problem with strengthening in time.

Seiki taps Y.

Do you still have to ask the studio to make a planter depending on how you strengthen it?

Though she thought so, she touched the enhanced planters and changed her mind a little.

"It's an interesting touch."

"... Oh, really."

Perhaps I was worried about Seiki's words, and the lotus also reached out to Rare's planter and rounded her eyes.

The appearance of the planter has not changed at all.

But the feel is different.

The closest is iron.

But it's not just iron.

"Isn't the metal pottery different? It's like changing the pottery planter to a special metal."

"Yes, it's really good."

I guess he really liked the feel.

With a serious look at the fire lotus, he continues to touch the planter with his fingertips.

From the feel, there is no doubt that the planter has been strengthened.

Should be stronger than before.

However, Seiki was clear of this kind of metal.

I'm worried, but I don't have any plans to have Akane judge me.

If you show her, you'll see at a glance that this isn't regular.

"Hmm. It's better not to reinforce frequently used items."

The enhanced planter looks the same as before.

However, the materials are different so that they can be clearly seen only by touch.

If the existing armor is strengthened in this way, changes in properties can easily be lost.

At least in Akane, it will be easy to see if it is different.

The company logo is included, so you can't use an excuse for being a dungeon item.

(It is forbidden to strengthen existing products for the time being)

Haruki writes down the forbidden notes in her brain and taps another item.

"Do you want to strengthen potato stones? 』

"Strengthened 0/3"

"Reinforcement required points 10pt"

"Y / N"

Haruki never dives into the dungeon with Akane.

If potato stones are strengthened, they will not be noticed immediately.

If noticed, potato stones are items dropped in dungeons.

"Isn't it changed while using it? If you fall in love with like a magic sword, 'you should be smoking.

... Yeah, I can go.

With that in mind, Seiki pushed Y in.

Once you erase the skill board, take out potato stones from the pot in your bag.

"……Oops!"

Because a large amount of potato stones are concentrated in one place, it is hard to tell which one is the one with enhanced Seiki.

Anyway, if you were to experiment, you had to go out of range of the pot with one stone in hand and then strengthen it.

Seiki takes out potato stones one after another while being discouraged.

Then

"... Oh!"

There was only one, only slightly different potato stone weight.

Looks the same as other potato stones.

Observe the two side by side, but you can't see any difference, even with Seiki, who doesn't miss a small change.

After observing, Seiki handed two stones to Rare.

"Rare, ask for a test shot of this stone."

"(Pretend)"

Yes yes, Leah shook the leaves.

Seiki immediately gathered two tree branches of similar shape, falling on the ground, and leaned against a giant tree.

"First shoot the branches with ordinary stones."

"(Pretend)"

Rea shakes the leaf, grabs the stone into the hammer and releases it.

-Sudden !!

It emits a sound that is unlikely to be firing stones from a plant nozzle, and potato stones fly.

The stone brilliantly split the branch into two pieces from the middle.

Even if you are 50 meters away, your aim is not different.

It is a wonderful throwing arm.

Seiki throws another branch, this time with the enhanced potato stones on the rare.

Rare absorbs +1 potato stone and fires.

-Doo!

The firing sound is clearly different from the previous one.

The sound pressure from the launch pushed the diaphragm up.

And

Stones touch branches.

-Paaaan !!

Potato stones crushed the middle of the branches.

“…………”

"……Wow"

To increase his power, Seiki opened her mouth and raised a lotus.

The person who fired the stone also shakes his bikin and leaves, forgets to move and is stiff.

The flying speed of potato stones is almost the same.

However, a reinforced version in which the contact points are crushed to a normal version that simply breaks the branches.

The difference in power was obvious.

The power has changed so much probably because the weight has changed.

Throwing a sponge ball does not hurt you, but throwing an iron ball of the same size is the same reason as seriously injured.

Of course, the weight change was not as great as a sponge and an iron ball.

However, his rare throwing skill is currently 5. One more tree has been enhanced.

This level of skill produced a large change in destructive power even with a slight difference in weight.

In the future, if you fight against even stronger monsters, strengthening weapons is essential.

If your weapon is the same as before, no matter how high your throw level, you will not be satisfactorily damaged.

Like a former adventurer who challenged the dungeon with a handgun ...

Seiki can deal with strong monsters just by bringing it back with a new strong weapon.

But rare is different.

Rare weapons-bullets are currently only potato stones.

And this stone had no replacement.

"... Well, what to do?"

Seiki puts her hand on her chin.

Currently potato stones are in a growing pot.

No matter how much potato stone is reinforced, the reinforced version does not always grow.

"Hmm"

Think out loud.

A ray of light flickered in the brain of Haruki.

Will it work? ……do not know.

However, the points that are lost even if they fail are known.

It seems worth trying.

After finding hope in the potato stone, Seiki took out the skill board.

Strengthen potato stones one by one.

There are 13 potato stones in all.

There were fewer stones in the vase than Seiki had imagined.

The remaining points are 2448.

"Rare. Try picking up potato stones from this pot."

"(Teron?)"

it's okay, but? And Rare put ivy for suction into the jar.

From there, Kupotokupo and strengthened potato stones are sucked.

Seiki's mouth watching the skill board changes gradually rises.

"After all"

The rare potato stones did not return to the items displayed on the board again when Rhea sucked the enhanced potato stones.

Proliferating jars have the ability to literally propagate the items inside.

If all the contents are replaced, it will proliferate based on that.

With the contents clogged and growth stopped, Seiki strengthened all the potato stones inside.

As a result, even if the potato stones multiply, the items that are referred to when copying are enhanced, and only the enhanced version is multiplied.

If Akane had previously spoken of "a vase where the contents of the contents are registered first," this operation would not have succeeded.

It is a trivial identification error unique to Akane, for which detailed evaluation cannot be performed.

However, Akane's misjudgment is inevitable.

Because this vase grows from the side where the contents are taken out.

Since it is impossible to replace the contents in the usual way, there is no way to check the possibility of the contents changing.

It is a fact that became clear only because the contents of the vase were strengthened by the secret technique with Seiki's skill board.

"Because it's a corner, let's cancel the reinforcement state-eh?"

Seiki, tapping on the potato stones again, rounded her eyes to the numbers displayed on the board.

"Do you want to strengthen potato stones? 』

"Strengthened 1/3"

"Points needed to strengthen 200 pt"

"Y / N"

"... I'm increasing at a stretch"

Only 10 points were needed to get +1 and 200 points to get +2.

We currently have 2448 points.

It's a bit insufficient to strengthen everything.

If all the contents are not replaced, even if it is strengthened, the contents may eventually return to +1.

The used reinforcement points are wasted.

But why did the necessary points jump up so quickly?

Maybe potato stones have new abilities?

Think, but no answer.

That said, there aren't too many enhancement points to try because you're worried.

In such a case, if you try to use points on a trial basis, the reinforcement points will soon hit the bottom.

"I wanted to go to a place where I could go because it was a cornerstone ..."

Seiki exhaled.

It seems he has to give up until the next point.

The way to earn points is clear.

Go to the end of the dungeon, just touch the dungeon core.

It is less difficult for Haruki, who has advanced to the 15th floor, to acquire the skill points obtained by "renewing the highest self-achieved class" than to acquire the skill points.

About rare weapon enhancements, hey.

Let's work slowly.

Seiki sighed again and tried to stow the skill board,

At that time--.

「――Tsu !?」

In the eyes of Seiki, one item stopped.

Put your bag and step back.

But the name did not disappear from the screen.

The fact that he moved away from the fire lotus and rares did not disappear because it moved with Seiki-.

In other words, it is one of Haruki's equipment.

"That means ... no way ..."

With a trembling fingertip, Haruki taps the item's name.

"Do you want to strengthen the mask (sealing)? 』

"Strengthened 0/3"

"Reinforcement required points 2000pt"

"Y / N"

「――Masked's got stronger !!」
