Riot Grasper

Ouch, ouch, ouch.

My gaze hurts.

I didn't think a clear rejection of people's offers would do so much to enhance my eyesight.

"Oh, don't stare so much. You can't help it."

Rey, who refused to accompany him, pierces his gaze to the point where the hole is empty.

"Hey, why not!?"

I have too many reasons for this.

In the first place, I'm not going to go to the Suaven Empire now. It's none of my business if Rick Shao and the others are up to something. The story of accompanying you from the ground up is not complete.

And the fact that Ray is a prisoner. I would like you to serve your sentence.

By and large, it wouldn't be enough to have any number of lives if you easily trusted the person who was your enemy. Why should I always pay attention behind my back when traveling with you?

Ray became completely silent as I gave him a hard time and a reason.

... Would you have done something a little worse?

"You're free not to go. I won't force you. But if I have to, I'll make it as convenient as releasing her."

"King...... are you serious?

What's the matter all of a sudden? So are you even thinking about seeing how they react with the Lord of Toggle? It's my sister for once.

"Um, oila too... -"

The fine Ren's voice is vain and wooden, and Mr. Ili takes over the flow of conversation.

"He said he couldn't be trusted, but didn't Mr. Sage already have a relationship of trust with that woman over there?

"What neighborhood...?

You can't even let me call you names. Where do you trust and rely on them, huh?

"It's hard to imitate a life crisis like breaking into a game and helping."

"Oh, that's... somehow,"

Mr. Ili smiles lusciously and strokes his cheeks gently.

"Nice. Very."

Emerald eyes to be watered through your mind. What should I do? I feel so weird. I mean, it feels good. And Grandpa Wom's eyes are super scary.

"You, too, would have helped Mr. Sage during the match"

... Were they watching?

He says he was lost in the blast, but he's been well witnessed magically pushing me to fly.

"That just gave me back my debt"

Even as the target moves to Ray, she does not collapse the pale answer.

"Really? But from what I can tell by the elves, you don't feel a bad feeling about Mr. Sage. One way or another..."

"... hey, I'm an elf sister"

"Yes? What's wrong?"

"There was an elf in the woods near my hometown, too, but those guys basically don't come out of the woods, do they? Why are you here? Or that's how I see through other people's minds... I don't like it."

"You seem disturbed. It's not like an elf can read the other person's mind. Even you can read emotions like the joy and sorrow of others from words and tricks, right? The elves are just a little sensitive."

What's this scary about?

Ray's unfathomable is the default, but Mr. Illy is scared of something even though he's laughing.

"I jumped out of the elves for the simple reason that I was bored."

"Huh. Curious elf. The king seems to like you a lot."

"Come on? What do you think? I'm pretty sure there's a part of Hardin that I'm fascinated by."

Yeah!?

"Whoa...... whoa whoa!?"

I don't care what Mr. Illy says, but his expression stays cool.

Or Grandpa Wom. You're too dented.

The king also just kind of laughs funny.

I want to go home to the inn and eat dinner already. True.

"- Ugh, I'm finally free"

Why was Ray so stuck with Mr. Illy?

In the end, the conversation ended with the fact that we were not going to move from the Wang capital now, but they took quite a bit of time.

"No, the more hungry you get, the better your treat tonight will be -"

"Wait."

Shortly after I left the arena, I was now stopped by the voice of a wild man.

No... I know. I can immediately imagine who they are. Instead, you wouldn't think I'd let them get away with it until I heard the story if I was in their shoes.

But, you know, I'm tired already. I guess I'll fix my armor or something tomorrow.

"Hi, my arm, I've managed to get back to normal."

"Sounds like it."

Berga nods as she stares at my left arm.

"... it feels like you have something to ask."

……

I don't like this silent atmosphere.

"By the way, where was Mr. Galeb? I don't think I see him."

"I don't know either. I haven't seen him since the game."

Seriously...... where did that guy really go? I don't think you're getting ready for a darkness somewhere.

"... if you need to talk, I'll go back to the inn and ask. Hungry is the limit. Just don't break out at the inn, okay?

"I know. I'm not going to be that stupid."

Apparently, he's following me very closely. It would be contraindicated to take Mr. Garib to the inn if accompanied, but I think Berga alone would have no problem......

- It's a strange thing to walk side by side like this when you said earlier that you were fighting each other with the momentum to kill your opponents.

Sometimes passers-by on the road look back at this one. I know it can be a guest who was watching a game in the arena, but he never talks to me.

In my head, by the way, I am fully operational to decide on the treatment of the skills I have taken from Berga.

There are two skills that I have succeeded in taking from Berga in that match.

Dragon's Crust

Fire Magic

is.

Since all ten skill frames have been filled, any of them must be discarded if new skills are acquired from the next time.

I don't know. I'm getting more proficient in vitality enhancement. Well, if you get all bummed up about that, you'll be able to work out a little.

Hmm, just a little bit more swordsmanship too...? Glad.

But the Dragon's Outer Shell (Dragon's Crust) is something I can't help but have because of DragonNewt's specific skills. It doesn't make sense to give it to Luke or Crocodile, who are demons, and there's no other Dragon Newt I know.

I don't really need fire magic either, but this one can be reused.

And well, I got to the inn after thinking about a lot of things.

It won't be too late to even listen to Berga to decide what to do in the end.

"Don't go home. Mr. Sage. Ah..."

He was Stella, who welcomed me with Toto when he saw my face, but he stopped to admit what Berga looked like next door.

You won't have a choice but to get fit a little bit.

"It's okay. I'm just talking to this guy. If you could bring me delicious food, I think we could have a more peaceful dialogue."

"Ah...... yes! Uranium made more on your arm today, so take your time and taste it. And for today's sake, let me treat you. Eat as much as you like."

"Okay. Then I don't hesitate to ask you to treat me today"

Since the reward for the request is paid by the guild, I can feel free to ask you to thank me separately, but you should not hesitate weirdly when this happens.

Side by side Stella headed to the kitchen, and I lowered my back to the empty seat in the dining room.

"Why don't you sit down, too? The food here is delicious."

Berga pretended to think for a while, but sits face to face here in a big way.

"I'm sorry, but I'm not giving you my share, am I? Ask for your share."

I'm not going to give up a slice of meat to my opponent now that my hunger is at its peak.

"Naturally. I have about that much money."

There was no one to stop me anymore, in front of all the dishes that were quickly arranged on the table.

What is this? What is this?

Raw meat? Raw meat?!

Meat dishes served on plates while still looking shameless in pink seem raw. It seems to be finely chopped meat with minced onions and vanilla. Round formed. That looks like a hamburger, but not through fire.

It is the yellow body of the egg that fits properly in the pedestal of the thin and reddish flesh. Crushing the yellow body, the thick liquid was teased by the raw meat, which appeared to have increased viscosity even further.

Take a bite, eat.

Ugh... oh.

What's this? Super delicious.

Even humans are animals. Maybe it's something that instinctively makes me feel comfortable eating raw meat. The snug texture ravages the oral cavity and makes a nasty tease of my tongue every time I crush a chunk of meat with my upper jaw.

I don't feel any smell of meat, but only the taste stimulates the taste buds of my tongue along with the thick yellow body.

It is no longer pleasant.

I don't feel like swallowing it and sending it to my stomach.

I even remembered the illusion that you were going to be my flesh as soon as you did.

"Mr. Stella. This is delicious."

Unconsciously speaking to her as she was serving, she smiled and explained the dish as if she had been praised.

"What I use for that meat dish is demonic meat called Raising Ox. Well, I can eat certain parts of it raw, but there's a lot of suji and it's not really suitable for raw food."

Huh... but it had a melting texture in my mouth.

"Because we carefully remove the suji and then cut it into fine pieces to make it easier to eat. It takes time to process it down, but the meat tastes very good... uranium said"

Hassle-free delicacies? My stomach is burning.

"Please replace this."

"Yes. Okay. Sage wanted to eat meat, so when I uranized it, I stuck it up and cooked all sorts of meat dishes. What you have on your plate is Raising Ox meat as well, but they say that lightly passing through this area sweetens the fat and wraps the entire meat. Sprinkle around with the gravy sauce -"

Zudong!

So much so that the phonetic sound seemed to sound, I was sticking my fork up to the meat.

In the middle of an explanation, but an emergency.

"What are you doing? I told you, didn't I? Ask for your share."

"... I also ask for the same thing as this"

Stella, who was observing an exchange between me and Berga, leaked a laugh when she shrugged.

I guess it was odd that you were having such a childish fight with someone you fought to the death.

"Yes, I'll have it with you right away. Mr. Berga... I thought he was a scarier person, but he's surprisingly a foodie."

Leaving those words behind, she leaves.

Eater, huh?

Can I describe it in such adorable terms? Assuming this guy punched me in the left arm during the game.

Olesama Omaemarkaziri or something, it won't go out of style.

The extravagant feast, structured around meat dishes, continued, and Berga began to drink even as she flattened the dish unbeatably against me.

"Drink so much, are you okay?

"No problem. More than that, it's time for a serious conversation."

"Fine. I've got a full belly."

Listening to the voice of Berga, I lean over a glass of wine poured by the nose, made by fermenting grapes that are the specialty of the region.

By the way, I don't get drunk because of my abnormal resistance skills.

Sweet. Yummy. Meat and hammering.

"- To me, what did you do?

... That's a candid question.

"Well, what is it? I don't think I need to be honest with you."

"Then let's change the question. Can you restore my power? I guess you can interfere with their abilities."

If you can no longer wrap around the outer shell or manipulate the fire magic, it would be natural to suspect the anomaly. I'm the one who can think of it as a cause.

"Temporarily seal the opponent's abilities. Disable the opponent's abilities. Disable the opponent's abilities. There's a lot of possibilities."

"... I'm not going to ask you how you did anything else in detail. I honestly don't think I'm going to tell you. Like I said, all I want to know is if I can undo it."

I see.

The "Dragon's Crust", a dedicated skill, cannot be used effectively. Making it fire magic is worth reusing, but returning it won't be a problem.

But what about honestly returning it?

I understand it was the heat up that got me into the game. But Berga, who first tried to kill Ray, would have nothing to do with it. The subsequent death fights are, well, mutual, and it seems pointless to argue which is worse.

I'm not even going to say my left arm hurts.

I mean, there's something wrong with both of them, so there's no need to think positively about returning them.

"I don't think you need to answer that, either."

"Well, naturally"

Having drunk up a high number of distilled liquors at once, Berga silenced herself looking at the void.

"... why were you hired by Mr. Garibe?

I wonder why Dragoneut, so powerful, had acted with the merchants.

"I've known Galeb recently. I was originally traveling with someone. It's gone."

"That person too...... is it Dragonewt?

"That's right. I couldn't find it when I searched, and I met Galeb where I was in trouble. Instead of having merchants use their information networks to help us find them, they were acting together."

Oh...... so that's when you were telling Mr. Galeb if there was any new information?

Naturally it wasn't the attitude you were employed in. Looks like he wasn't hired, he was just in a cooperative relationship.

"You haven't found it yet."

"I'm sure he was coming to Richelle. Where the hell have you been?"

It's kind of a lot different from the first impression I got. This guy seems like a tough guy too.

"Is it okay if I ask you what your name is?

It's Berga's first time with Dragonut, so I don't know.

"Shania...... called Shania Blaze"

Hmm, let's just try to remember.

Even then, a number of pieces of information spilled from Berga's mouth against a person named Shania.

Apparently this person. Pretty much I... or free-range, it seemed like I was having a hard time with Berga.

"Totally, in a slightly gazed gap..."

No heart or booze is gaining momentum, and it just looks like drunkenness is starting to spin around.

"What purpose were you traveling with that person named Shania?

Not immediately answering the question, Berga reached for the liquor bottle again.

"... I would have answered that question a lot. Now it's our turn."

Placed on the table with a dong is a leather bag whose metal sounds zillin.

Maybe it's the money that's stuck inside even if you don't. White gold coins, gold coins, silver coins and copper coins are subtly different sounds, but unfortunately I don't have the skills to say the amount without checking the contents.

"What is it? This."

"That's all the money I have. If it's not enough, I'll pay for it later."

I know what you're trying to say. Instead of handing over all your wealth, you're negotiating for power - to return your skills. Even though it doesn't explicitly state whether it can be undone.

Not to mention, if I were a hell of a bad guy, I'd feel like I could afford a lot of money.

"To be honest, I don't have that much trouble with money"

I really want it.

I want enough to get my hands out of my throat.

No matter how much money you have, it's not a problem.

But I don't think it's the same thing to accept money as consideration if you return your skills. If you're going to have a little bit of involvement with my skills, you need to figure out who I am.

"Right...... bad. The merchants like Galeb seemed to care about money. Forgive me if I offended you."

A leather bag containing coins can be pulled in. If you had acted with a merchant for a while, you wouldn't even know it would come to those thoughts.

Berga took the few bottles of liquor left and poured them in at once.

- Thank you for waiting.

She was a capable stellar who would bring a replacement just when the liquor bottle was empty, but even she could make mistakes.

"Ah..."

I hooked my leg up to the luggage bag that was on the floor.

The slightly larger bag is not mine...... then only one owner will have it.

Something burst out of the fallen bag.

"Shh, excuse me"

... Huh? Huh?

Wait a minute.

Object picked up by Mr. Stella and handed to Berga, the owner.

It bears a hint of light, giving warmth to the luster of silver as clear as fresh snow. Even though the tone can simply be described as white, it is so beautiful that nature and the eyes become enchanted.

The shape is like a giant fang, but the characteristic coincides with "The Legendary Metal," which was described in a book I read in Melbail's library.

I'm not even sure it's a mineral. It was in the book with beautiful illustrations.

"That, what?

I manage to spin the word by suppressing my voice, which is about to tremble.

"This is like an amulet. I brought it when I left the inside. Dragons with powerful powers in the past also become bones and weather after death. But very rarely, the traits seem to change."

Berga quietly placed the object in his hand on the table.

"This is how some of the bones are wrapped in light. We call it the Phosphorous Dragon Crystal to shine forever without decay."

Dragonbones without decay. I do feel like it might work as an amulet.

"This is the hardest part of the fangs. Hmm...? I can't do this."

Apparently, he noticed a delightful glance like a child who found the treasure.

I think it's important to identify people.

But I think it's more important than that.

"Oh, it hurts. My left arm, which was chopped a thousand times, hurts so bad. It's kind of hard to move. Oh, my God. What if there's an obstacle to future battles? It would be very helpful to have something amulet."

Aren't you gonna tell me your left arm hurts or something? Did anyone say that?

"What those eyes!? Don't look so"

Kill with your eyes. Kill with your eyes.

I said it twice because it's important.

The troubled Berga dropped the contents of a new bottle into his stomach in an instant, either to put a foothold on it.

"Gu...... duh. No, but... ok"

The phosphorous dragon crystal rolled down here is slightly warm when touched.

"Instead, please... give me the power, Master Shania."

- That said, Berga sank.

Apparently the liquor has exceeded the tolerance. She said she didn't say a word about returning her skills if she gave me the phosphorous dragon crystal.

Well... I think I've figured out something about Dragonut's humanity that's crumbling a little in front of me in my previous interactions. I'm not the type to leap in with Kosokoso in the back.

"... when I wake up, I hope it's back to normal"

He took his seat and turned his foot to the Riding Beast Hall only to tell Mr. Stella he was going to see how Luke was doing.

There's something I'd like to try for once.

- There is a slightly wider space in front of the Riding Beast Hall, so it is convenient to do sword workouts, etc.

Assuming, even if a strange scream went up, you'd think as much as the horseman was making a scene.

"Shh..."

Inhale deeply and slowly.

Imagine. Convert all the cells in your body.

Skin goes to hard dragon scales. The nails are sharp and long, and the teeth do not become blades that chew up steel either.

"Uhhhhhhhhhhhh!"

…………

……

I knew I couldn't, huh?

I can't seem to handle this skill as a human being.

Though I knew it, I really wanted to, so I had no choice.

Nevertheless, it would be too embarrassing if someone saw a scene like this.

"I was right to pick a spot in the middle of the night that was invisible...... Luke!?"

From behind the walls of the Riding Beast Hall, Luke looks softly at this one.

"Khu."

"Stop! Don't turn a cold gaze at me like I see such a pathetic thing."

I'm bored. I hear wind chipping from the sky.

What if... Kroko?

After a while, a monster descended on my shoulder, a large raven wrapped in black feathers.

"Kuaah?"

"What? Were you listening to me earlier, too? Don't do that. That's what I'm saying. So, I'm back a long time ago this time, but what's wrong?

"Kua, gagga, kua"

"... is that true?

"Qua."

"I'm not suspicious. Just..."

I don't know what to do.

According to information Kroko brought back, Rim left the city called Grania.

The destination is - the Toggle region.

At this time...... do you want to go that way?

"Gah, quah"

"Hmm? Well, I feel a little overprotective. But..."

If you meditate on your eyes, you can clearly remember. The look of the girl we promised to have another adventure with.

"... it's fun to have someone to worry about."
