Silence often flowed through the room, scattered with boss drops and countless arrows.
But the three voices break it.
"Huh!? What is it now?!"
"Yuri, did you do that!?"
"Why did you shut up!!"
Kokoru, Merina, and Tete stuck up to Yuri as they spoke.
At that time, Yuri had a troubled face.
"No, you know... honestly, what's wrong with me..."
Huh? What is that, what do you mean?
"Uhh..."
Tet asked me, and Yuri looked at me like I needed help.
Well, this will have to be explained.
I open my mouth to everyone who's watching.
"That was one of the [Bowing] skills, it was called" Moon Rain "." The effect, as you can see, is to drop a large number of arrows. "
It was literally a special move of an archer.
Ultra-wide attack with high firepower. Unparalleled strength in battles against large bosses and hordes of monsters.
I somehow imagined Archery skill technique.
Tete says he's not convinced.
"Isn't that right? Alvin used to use his weapon skills without assistance." Well, I don't know if Yuri could do it... but I've never heard of such an amazing technique in a bow before. "
"Me, too... I've been with the boss a few times, but no one was using my technique." Not one of them. "
They say they don't know anything about weapons, or Kokor, who has been to high-level parties many times.
However, it was not impossible.
I'll tell you what.
"Well, I guess so." I read about the guild, and I just happened to know it. "
"That technique... how come you're not so well-known, Alvin?"
To put it bluntly, I answer to Melina.
"Simply because there are very few people who can use it." "Moon Rain" is a technique that can finally be used at level [65]
"... hah?"
Merina's eyes widened.
"Sixty-five...? Do you have a weapon skill that can be used at such a high level?" in the case of a mage, even though the spells that can be remembered earlier are exhausted..... "
"But, Mr. Alvin. A person with such a level of archery....."
Yeah.
I nodded and answered Kokor's question.
I'm sure there's almost no one there.
Now... and in the past.
Even the archers are few in number. Even more so when it comes to high-level personnel.
That's why "moon rain" is an illusion technique that few people know.
"But Yuri's grandfather knew." I knew it... and I must have actually used it. Because I knew how useful it was, I called the motion "moonlight" and taught it to Yuri. "
”My grandfather... was such an amazing adventurer?”
Probably not.
In order to learn about "Moon Rain", you need to improve your [Archery] skill level and learn it on your own, or have someone teach it to you.
There would be few archers to teach, so it would be the former first.
"That's right..." But that's what I wanted you to say beforehand... I was surprised just now. When you're ready, a tremendous amount of ballistic prediction lines will suddenly come out. "
"No, I'm sorry... I didn't think I'd have a chance to use it in this dungeon."
I have an excuse for Yuri, who is a little unhappy.
"Even if I were to teach you the effects, I couldn't possibly let you try and shoot me..."
"Why?" "Why do you ask?
"It's... you can see it by looking at the storage"
……
While tilting her neck, Yuri opens the storage from the status screen.
As you look at the list of items, your eyes suddenly become rounded.
"... what? Huh!? My arrows are almost gone!?" Did you have that much!? "
"That's right."
I'll sigh and explain.
"Moon Rain" properly consumes arrows. Moreover, if it is activated, it can be automatically taken from the storage. Hundreds of them. I couldn't continue my adventure after that, so I couldn't let him use it without this last scene. "
In that sense, "moon rain" was a special attack.
It is used when it is here, and it cannot be used easily.
"Well, there was such a price... I was going to use it from now on..."
"That's why I told you, Yuri. The dungeon....."
”It's balanced... I get it”
Yuri drops his shoulder.
Even if it's a high level move, there's nothing convenient about it.
"However, considering this price... I can't imagine why Yuri's grandfather wanted Yuri to be an adventurer."
"Huh...?"
Yuri says suddenly.
"Isn't that just because... I had four good skills?" Well, one of them was [Shinobi's Extreme], and since she didn't have any [Bow Technique] skills, it wasn't suitable for bowmen..... "
"No, it's not."
I shake my head to the side.
"[Shinobi Extreme] is a bonus." [Archery] I thought I didn't have to. Yuri's grandfather's most valuable skill --- must have been the [increase in haulage cap]. "
Ehh, you don't have that kind of plain skill, do you?
Yuri says in surprise.
"If it's [Strength Increase] or something, I don't know..."
"Certainly, the [Str Gain] skill raises the haul cap, but the [Haul Cap Increase] is much more effective than that." In other words, that's all---the amount of arrows you can carry increases. "
"Ah......"
Yuri raised her voice as she noticed.
Yes, I needed that skill to use the Moon Rain over and over again.
The Archer also had some Str (Strength) correction, but not as much as a Swordsman or a Martial Artist.
Without skill, the amount of items that can be stored is limited.
"But Alvin... [Archery] skills have other powerful moves." "Curved Shot" is a bit more powerful, and "Piercing Arrow" is a multi-stage hit. If you use that kind of stuff as the main thing, wouldn't you be able to do something even with fewer arrows? "
"That's what all the archers I've been throwing parties for before have done..."
I give back my guess to Tete and Kokor's question.
"I don't know the details... but it seems that Yuri's grandfather didn't find much value in any [bowing] skills other than" "Moon Rain" "". "
That's why I wanted a more usable technique.
"Curved" that can be freely bent.
Faster "Rapid Fire".
Excellent set elasticity "radiation".
You can crochet them on your own.
"Penetrating Arrow" also has the disadvantage of slowing down the pull due to motion. [Archery] Rather than relying on his skills to increase the power of a single arrow, he repeatedly pulls and shoots correctly, then uses "Moon Rain" where necessary. It must have come to the conclusion that it was the strongest. The ideal shape that a high-level archer above level [65] reached after thinking about it was definitely a style that used a lot of such arrows. "
It's hard for me to understand that I'm the only swordsman in the world.
But if that's true... I can imagine Yuri's grandfather's despair.
At the same time that I understood the ideal shape of the archer, I realized that I would never be like that.
I can't change the skills I was born with.
Haulage Cap Increase was a plain but unusual skill. I don't think Yuri's grandfather had it conveniently.
If you're an adventurer who has fought on the front lines for a higher level and deeper hierarchy... when you know your limitations, you may decide to retire and leave the dungeon.
Go back to your village and become a hunter. That may be the case.
"That's why... I think I wanted to look at my granddaughter's skills and give her hope." The [Transportation Cap Increase] that I wanted above all, the [Agility Increase] that ensures my mobility. The [Dexterity Increase] of the Kaishin (Critical) Rate increases the Power. [Shinobi's Extreme Intent] was really just a bonus. Yuri's skill set-up must have been close to the archer's ideal from Grandpa's point of view. "
"My skills...?"
"Of course, it must have been because of the qualities." You can't fight deep boss monsters like this without your skills. "
I say with a smile to Yuri, who is stunned.
"The higher the level, the higher the haul limit and the more arrows you can carry." That way... you'll be close to your grandpa's ideal shape. "
”... hahaha, what... is that so?”
Yuri says, wiping the back of her eyes.
"I... I'm glad to be an archer." Then from the beginning... you should have trusted your grandfather and yourself and done what you wanted. You've been a scout for so long, you've been going a long way around..... "
I can't help it.
That's what I told you to encourage.
Skills are important. That's why everyone is swayed by their skills.
Sometimes, skills and aptitudes are the opposite.
If it hadn't been for [Shinobi's Extreme Intent], Yuri wouldn't have been deceived.
Therefore, in a sense, this might have been a negative skill as well.
"Mr. Alvin... we have a goal."
Wipe away the tears, Yuri says.
"It's not my grandfather's dream, my own goal." That's why... yes "
And I gave us a rainbow bow that I'm sure we can use more than anyone else.
"You can't use such a powerful weapon from the beginning." I feel kind of sloppy, and... this is something that you've all worked so hard to get. It's not like I'm just going to get it. That's why... I'll give it back. "
Yuri said with a bright smile.
"I pick my bow with my own money, and as a bowman, I'll do my best from scratch!"
……
When I hear Yuri's determination, I keep silent and make eye contact with my people.
And then I said:
"No, no, no, no! If there's no problem with the performance, get it!"
"Huh!?"
"Yuri-san, we were so worried about our disposition!"
"So, but..."
"If you don't give it to me, my storage won't be empty forever!" You can do it, Yuri. "
Didn't think she'd be refused return, Yuri's eyes black and white.
Tete sighed as he turned to his bandit friend for help.
"Hey, if Yuri doesn't want it, I'll have to push it into my warehouse." Isn't that a waste? "
……
Yuri stares at the bow of his hand as if it was a beat.
"I don't know... I've got a weapon that doesn't match my level." After all, I'm starting to feel uncomfortable..... "
"If you think that having a strong weapon will make your adventure easier, it's sweet. Yuri"
I say with a smile to Yuri, who looks up.
"The strength of an adventurer cannot be determined by numbers or skills alone." If you really want to be strong, you need to improve your adventurer (player) skills. "
"Ah....."
“In Yuri's case, you're still not used to rearguards standing around and partying. If you don't do the same number of adventures, you can't even imagine the types of dungeons and monsters. Well, it might be a little saggy... but even if you don't have to worry about it, it won't change you from being an archer to trying your best from scratch."
”That's right...”
Yuri said a little embarrassed.
"Even if I look at you... I think so." I still have a lot to learn. "
Well, for now, that bow is for Yuri to use!
Tete puts his hands behind his head and says, "It's refreshing."
"Oh, thank goodness!" Now you've solved our problem! "
"Hmm, but I'm sorry to give you that design after all..." It's very flashy, and even though it's "moon rain", the rainbow color doesn't suit me... "
"Oh, that's cool." Besides, rainbows can rain on a full moon. Say "moon rainbow."
"Speaking of which, I've only seen it once when I was in the village..."
Yuri, who was listening to our exchange, smiled suddenly and said in a small voice.
"Ladies and gentlemen... I'm going to take care of this bow."
