Vorpal Rabbit and Fortress Uncle

Episode 44 "Master"

Wet your throat with coffee while looking out the window.

Just when I put the cup on the coaster, I peeked into the display with a sound to let me know what's new.

◇ Surveyors without a warrant

I knew you'd be quick to take the supporting arts.

◇ Surveyors without a warrant

The ampoules are expensive.

◇ Surveyors without a warrant

Can an ampoule be used by others?

◇ Surveyors without a warrant

Throw it with your throwing skills.

◇ Surveyors without a warrant

It's like a dart.

◇ Surveyors without a warrant

You're after my son, Williamtel.

_/_/_/_/_/

I wonder if art is useful.

Having another sip of coffee, I slapped my desk with my fingertips.

What I was watching was a thread on the Official Bulletin Board (BBS) called the General Questionboard.

So I asked a question about the best way to recover, but the thread with the most viewers came back quickly.

◇ Surveyors without a warrant

Thank you. I'll take that as a reference.

◇ Surveyors without a warrant

Hang in there.

Arts is convenient because chanting chooses people.

◇ Surveyors without a warrant

I'm used to it. As I use it, my senses become paralyzed.

◇ Surveyors without a warrant

Regardless of offensive arts, support and defense should not have been such a terrible chant.

◇ Surveyors without a warrant

I'm gonna make you feel better. I'm just happy to have a party member.

◇ Surveyors without a warrant

Where can friends buy...?

◇ Surveyors without a warrant

You have a skill in mechanical control.

When you type in a thank-you comment, a small wave-like word returns, and the topic changes quickly.

I can look at the flowing comments and think about what was introduced.

"Arts...."

It is a skill area that chooses people for various reasons.

Of course, the chanting necessary for activation is embarrassing, but there are other reasons why it is difficult to handle.

"Can you use it on me?

Arts is made by collecting and combining parts called chips. There are huge numbers of chips, some very powerful but rare. The freedom is high, and tricky styles can be adapted to suit your needs.

On the other hand, the flexibility was synonymous with the difficulty of handling, and I was worried that I had enough skill to use it.

"--Well, even if you're worried, you can't help it."

I drink up the warm coffee and order a new one.

I left my friend open and contacted her when I was logged in.

"That's why you called me."

Lacto sat across the table, gracefully tilting tea.

She came to New World in two replies and nodded lightly at my request to tell me about the arts.

"There are only about Lacto who can rely on art. Thank you for your guidance and inspiration."

"My back gets itchy when I'm scared."

When she begins to bow with a polite bow, she shakes her shoulders when she snaps.

First, she opened her mouth with a strange expression.

"Why did you suddenly want to use art again? Reggie didn't seem to want to use art."

"Well, considering your age. One thing I thought was, I've been thinking about how good it is when I'm playing."

It is easy to expect strange and contemptuous gazes to be sent if you want to chant loudly in the real world.

But this is the world of games. There are many players who use art around, so I don't feel uncomfortable with it.

Then I'm a boy too.

"It was cool that Lacto was just using it."

"Hmm! I guess so. Arts is fun to try."

Lacto stepped out of his body in unintentional zero words.

"Hey, you finally got it."

"Oh, well, there's a main reason for that."

Well, she turns her eyes.

"You don't have a healer at the party right now, do you?

She listens carefully to it.

"Isn't Reggie the healer? There's a camp."

"Well, I can't say that. But the camp's healing effect is slow. What I want is an immediate means of recovery. It's quick to get rid of a crisis in battle."

"I see. I don't think we can do that at the camp."

Lacto nodded as if he was convinced.

Camps are certainly an effective means of recovery, but there are limitations that they must be within range. It is not like that when it comes to filling the LP immediately.

Well then, I guess it's art.

Is that so?

It will be.

Lacto bends his lips with his thumb up.

She would still be fit.

Well, let's get what we need at the store right away.

"Oh, I'd appreciate it if you could tell me, including around here."

"Leave it to Mr. Lacto!

Take me to Lacto, who stood up vigorously, and leave the new heavens and earth.

That's how she went to a shop on the avenue that dealt with arts-related items.

"This is a normal shop, right?

"This item is enough to get you started. In other words, because the price of the specialty store and the skill required are high."

"Ah, sure...."

I nodded in remembrance of "Aldney Wild" I visited with Letty yesterday.

"What Ledge wants is a backup art chip."

"Oh, I think it's good to have lactose for aggression."

"How about defensive arts?

"Actually, I don't know much. It was also this morning that I started looking into art."

In my confession, she puts her hand on her jaw.

Well, I'll just give you an overview.

"Thank you."

Lacto raised his pin and index finger to explain each of the arts.

Supporting Arts is a "field to recover damaged LPs”, while Defensive Arts is classified as a "field not to damage LPs in the first place." Supporting Arts also has "Strengthens other stats" and Defending Arts has "Eliminates any influence from enemies."

Simply, it is difficult for me to have the foreword, and I feel the depth of the art and the difficulty of handling it.

"... in the meantime, may I have one of the supporting arts?"

"Well, I don't want to mess around depending on the allowance."

Lacto smiles bitterly at me with a mysterious face.

Well then, the chip is just a support system. And then there's the catalyst -- let's just say rank one. "

Walking through the gaps in the store shelves, she looks at black chips like random memory cards.

I wonder if all of these are necessary parts for the construction of the arts.

"I think you should buy" First Aid "," Healing ", and then" Armor "and" Reinforcement "."

"Okay. This, this, this, this."

Buy the chip as recommended by her.

Even the poor wallet gets lighter, but I think this is a pre-investment.

"And buy a nanomachine from the vending machine over there. Give me about 100 ranks."

"Was it a catalyst? --This is cheap."

Guided by a cylindrical vending machine lined up in the back of the shop, where you buy nanomachines.

This is an item that is consumed as a catalyst when using Arts. The nano-machines required as the complexity and strength of the arts used increases are also demanded to be of high performance, and are classified from the lowest rank I to the highest rank X.

Rank I nanomachines had a fairly affordable price per bit.

"The rank II I usually use is 5 bits each, so it gets pretty bulky after a few strokes."

"Looks like the cash flow will be tighter if you go up the ranks."

"That's one of the reasons Arts is shunned."

Unlike weapons that last considerably longer if maintenance continues, art costs money for each shot.

That's why you moan for poverty while you're not making money.

"Now that we have everything we need, let's go to the field."

"Okay. Thanks for hanging out with me."

"Fufu. I'm also happy to have a new Arts Man! It's my first apprentice."

I see. Best regards, Master. "

"Leave it to me!

Speaking bravely, Lacto slaps his chest.

So me and my little master turned to the field for training.
