World Strongest Rearguard – Labyrinth Country and Dungeon Seekers
Episode 109: Meeting at the Workshop
I just got out of Boutique Corleone and I found a party for a pair of familiar men. These are the three Triceratops.
When he found me, the bearded man of their leader lifted his hand without power.
"Alicht, those people..."
"Right, I'm just going to say hello. I want you to know the trends in the Alliance."
He seems to want to talk about it over there, and only the leader comes here. When he looked at me, he shrugged his shoulders and laughed bitterly.
"Hi, I don't think I'm well, what's going on?
"We don't deserve it, but if we don't share information about you, tell them the executives of the Alliance are fired. The leader took a big look at me, but, well, what's the point of getting dirty work done again, it's falling out?"
"... you mean that. Sorry."
"No, I have nothing to apologize for. If it's a threesome of men from the beginning, it can be a strange mistreatment. If I'd known it was that kind of organization, I wouldn't be in it."
When I hear that talk, I can only think of one executive who told them to leave.
"I've met a guy named Gray once, but it's also strange that he's an executive even though he only makes a bad impression..."
"Only the mouth is a good one... but not militants in the alliance, but stronger than us, and most importantly, a man with no loopholes. You be careful, too."
"Oh, thank you. What are we gonna do now?
"For a while, we hunt demons that can be defeated and do it in the tunnels. I'm also going to try an unpopular labyrinth. You bought me binoculars so I wouldn't have any trouble living."
Show me a bag of gold coins and he laughs. Still, they say they don't get lazy and encourage explorers to get started - I can like those people.
"Oh yeah... I just wanted to tell you something. Today, the leaders of the 'Alliance' meet their contribution goals. Other party leaders will be encouraged to increase their contributions, but today is the last time a leader directs directly to earn contributions."
"Really... don't worry a bit about how you worked"
"It's not a very complimented way to do it, so I can't show you. I'm just closing up a party outside of the 'Alliance' and watching a bunch of points where demons come out. Still, it's safe, and the efficiency of your day's earnings is the best in District 7. If we do this too much, we may be able to lower our assessment of the contribution of the Crab."
How efficient does that mean it's not good to keep knocking down demons in the same pattern? Even if I gain experience with such literal 'shark moves', I think the situation that I can handle will narrow down.
"Well, I know it's not a good idea to say bad things about the organization I've been in. Mr. Roland chose to go to District Six in a safe way, and given his background, I don't know how he feels."
"Once I heard that he fell to the bottom of District 7 due to illness..."
"Oh...... there will be something like an obsession that emits an edge there. I'm not in a position to give you advice from us, but I don't think it's going to be long term retaliation."
"Oh, I'll keep that in mind."
The last word had weight. I wish them well, too - say we can swing our sleeves together, but even with only a few contacts, that's an important encounter.
Everyone who was watching is walking over here - Misaki looks like he's having some fun.
"Your brother looks sinister when he talks to men."
"Mi, misaki... That's what Alicht usually..."
"We were talking serious, so I was usually keeping my mind tight. Don't you look good on me?"
"Yeah, that's not true. Even the first person I've met has handled the rear part well for a long time. I was so much more familiar."
"Yes, no... Mr. Fifty Storms was always grand, wasn't he?"
When Mr. Fifty Storms praises me, there are still moments when I wish I had been praised before I was reincarnated, but it's bigger to illuminate than that.
…………
"You kept me waiting, Theresia. Is it time for you to get hungry?
…………
Theresia doesn't answer, she just brings the hem of my suit. Does this mean - you were worried because I went to talk to him alone?
"What if the men asked me to do it and Alicht went for cover... or something like that, I'm not worried about anything, but I'm sure it's going to take a voice like that one of these days"
It's like saying she thought so the way Elitia said it - but apparently she was in the same mood as Theresia.
It's okay. I'm not leaving the party.
"There's no one else in the rear guard who's as good as you. We need to keep the rumors from spreading too much...... do the people just now seem ok?
Mr. Fifty Storms lowered his voice so that he wouldn't hear around him, so I imitated that, too. Misaki means to be quiet, or she has her index finger on her lips.
"They said they missed the 'alliance' for not reporting about us. So I don't think they're telling you about me."
"You disciplined people... I wonder if that's what I thought when I saw you in the back."
"If I saw Mr. Alicht back then, I think you guys would move your minds. Me too, just remembering my breasts..."
"... Suzuna, are you okay? Why don't you let your therapist (healer) take a look at you?
"Wow, you're purer than I thought you were Mr. Ellie."
"Huh... my chest just hurts, I wonder if I could tie it to that?
Misaki and Elitia are arguing, but I can only put my nose on the head as an adult.
"I knew I had qualities as a leader to be seen at a glance by both men and women."
"Uh... Mr. Fifty Storms, I'd appreciate it if you could be moderately harsh on me"
"Why? I'm just saying what I thought."
Has that phase gone by, like, praising them farther away already? Madoka, who's with Theon, said something, too, but when I turned my gaze, I looked away in embarrassment for some reason.
"I talked to your brother. - Everybody thinks so."
"I wouldn't shy away from anything, though. Madoka, can you get in touch with Melissa? I appreciate seeing a list of materials, as it's fine with prospects."
"Ha ha... I actually wanted to talk about that too, I've been waiting for you!
Does' too 'mean we need to talk about something else? But Madoka was as serious as ever and showed me the list of demonic materials Melissa had sent me.
Melissa and Mr. Rykerton will also be leaving the demolition station to come to the rental workshop where Mr. Ceres and the others are located. Demonic materials will also be used to process equipment, so you should have a meeting with them.
◆ ◇ ◆
When they came to the rental workshop, a few minutes' walk from the quarters, Mr. Ceres and Mr. Steiner had already finished preparing for the work, and Melissa and Mr. Rykerton were sitting down for tea.
"We've waited, Alicht. Even so, I'm just getting ready to use the workshop now."
"Master, it's bad manners to stand with a cup of tea."
Mr. Ceres is always taking off the hood he is wearing. A native of the Labyrinth Nation, she was, as always, of a different worldly race - close to the image of an elf I had. He has long ears and looks younger or younger than his real age.
She usually said she wouldn't show up in front of the guests. Still remember to thank me again for coming to a different district.
"Damn it, I don't know how to leave it without a demon stone. Your lords... hmm? Hey, what's that face? You're going crazy trying to preach."
"Thank you so much. Thanks to the presence of Mr. Ceres, we are likely to be able to determine the use of the extra material."
Once again, to thank you, we all bow our heads together - Mr. Ceres seemed to lighten up a little, while Mr. Steiner's hand scaffolded and sat on his shoulder, earning height and looking down at us.
"Um, I'm not gonna suffer... and I wanted to say it once"
"Your husband cared even after Atobe and the others went to District Seven. The truth is, it was the boat that called me over. I can't believe you can nominate me exclusively for that. '
"For my visitors have seen me and insulted me, and I have seen Steiner and frightened him. Then this one can't feel comfortable working either... well, it's not like there weren't any prospective explorers at all."
Some people like Mr. Ceres, who has been alive for over a hundred years, expect me to be that far. I thought so and thought, is there any reason why Rune was opening a store in District Eight that would hardly be brought in?
"Excuse me, I was wondering one thing... why did Mr. Ceres live in District VIII?
"Um, I noticed a good thing...... but for no particular reason. After I retired from the Seeker, I searched for a good place to live and fell. The neighborhood was quiet and the nearby waterways were beautiful."
Mr. Ceres was also a seeker - a native of Labyrinth Country and a 'jade people', was she obliged to be a seeker just like us? I'm curious, but now I wasn't likely to hear anything more poking around.
"Well... it's not the magic stone that your lords have. Why don't you just leave it on your old armor? Because if you don't leave it unattended and think about how to use it, you will gain more combat power. You should use it whenever you can."
"Yes, Melissa has acquired the skills to synthesize the Demon Stone, so I would like to try synthesis as well"
"There are things that can and cannot be synthesized. Now I can only synthesize once. I can only choose two and synthesize... if there's anything that looks good to me."
"I did not take Demon Prop Creation 2. Instead, if you collect the same kind of demonic stones, you can perform" rune generation "… but the required number is ten, so it's not quite what you can collect."
That means there are exactly ten demonic stones of the same kind - and Melissa brought me some bags. Contains gobbling and stone-like things.
"... I was dismantling the demon and found some demon stones"
"Thank you, Melissa. That's quite a few..."
"If the enemy uses magic, the Demon Stone may be the source of power. Atobe has defeated many demons, of course."
Mr. Rykerton shows us the list of demon stones in the bag. There are more than ten - but it's quick to loon them instantly.
Above all, it was not only the demonic stones that were found, but also the runes. I can't see the effect from just looking at it, but it's going to lead to increased combat power.
◆ Demonic stones and runes discovered this time ◆
· Found from 1 x Hot Wind Stone Aerowolf
· 1 x Rune of Exchange Found from Beetle of Rebellion
• Found from elastic stone x 18 stray sheep
- 1 x Thunderballs Found from Thunderhead
-Dark Bullet Stone x 12 Found from Darkness Blitz
· 1 x Ringing Rune Discover from an inviting pastoral use
"Hmm," Elastic Stone "and" Dark Bullet Stone "are not used to attach to a flying tool bullet. These kinds of things can't be compressed into runes."
"Actually, I got a weapon called a 'magic gun', and that bullet means demon stone, so I'd appreciate it if you could use it"
"Hey what...!? Magic Gun...... Says only a professional named 'Gunsmith' can make it. I didn't expect to see anyone with..."
Messy and trembling, Mr. Ceres - it seems more surprising than grateful. I put a silver attachment case on the table and showed Mr. Ceres the gun inside.
"This is it..."
"Hmm... I don't know if I can enhance it, but I haven't used it yet. I won't be able to easily get the metal to reinforce this, and now it's good to leave it as it is. I'll study it so I can strengthen it."
'I specialize in metalworking, so I think I can strengthen it without any problems. But your husband's right, it's still finished, so I guess it's a good idea not to remodel it until we find the materials we need to strengthen it. "
"Yeah, it would help if it seemed like it could be enhanced in the future"
First try and shoot, but 'elastic stone' would bring it to try because there are so many. I'm going to be the first to use it in my next exploration.
"So let me talk about creating weapons from demonic materials."
"Yes, please. Melissa, how far is the demolition going?
"The big guy's gonna take till tomorrow, but he's got an eye on how to dismantle it. Suggest materials that might work"
"'Beetle of the Rebellion' has signs of exfoliation along the way, but it still has the biggest crust, so it can be used for materials from the Great Shield."
Theresia uses a circular shield (Targe), but as it stands, no member uses a large shield. But if the use is limited, you might want to make a big shield and stock it up - if the shield use enters the party, some hands will have it equipped at that time.
Speaking of shield use, Mr. Serafina, it would be hard to say that she would come into my party. I have a Guildsaber mission.
"It's often said that even strong demons can only be converted to some of their weapons...... Alicht, what about the horns of Melissa's chopped off 'Beetle of Rebellion'?
"Oh, I hope it can be used for something...... but it's a little strange that even hard areas could have been cut off when we were in battle"
"This horn is probably an area that you can't slash unless you're in battle. After defeating a demon, the composition of the body can deteriorate. So I couldn't process it, but only the corners I chopped off stayed machinable."
Mr. Rykerton will explain, but there are many mysteries about the nature of the demon. The part that can be processed is part of it, so let's say we decide how to use it.
◆ ◇ ◆
The whole party considered it and decided what to do with each material.

Materials are somewhat restricted as to which weapons can be enhanced, so it is not possible to intensively enhance a single weapon. For this reason, it was decided to take the stance of strengthening where it could be done. For materials that are determined what can be made when processed, have them made, even if they are not determined for use.
As for the sheep demons, they're supposed to distribute the material to my suit as well. We're gonna need a lot of wool, but everyone gave us permission.
"As of 7th arrondissement, are you so well equipped... you guys found the 'box' again?
"Yes, I was lucky enough to defeat the 'named' demon."
'I'm sure there's someone at Dear Atobe's party who's like born under a lucky star... no, I guess it's not just luck. You usually wonder how I explore it.'
Mr. Steiner in heavy armor to see, but the tone plays like a boy. They're going to tell me there's no such thing as' people inside ', but are they actually quite young?
"This is the processing of demonic materials, so we will also work together. Do you plan to use the equipment to enhance it today?
"No, I haven't decided yet"
"It takes some time to work, so I was wondering if you could leave your gear when you're ready"
Thinking that it would be about a few days before I actually used the enhanced gear - Mr. Ceres had one finger up.
"Tomorrow."
"What... oh, tomorrow?
"Let's finish all the work and get it delivered by the end of the evening. What, using skill is not a difficult story if you do something about magic. Right, Steiner."
'Wherever possible, you should avoid drinking mana potion. The potion is handy, but if you use it too much, it seems to have side effects.'
"I don't use that kind of cheap stuff...... because they have side effects regardless of the quality of the potion. It doesn't seem like a bad thing, but I don't feel like trying."
I remember when I used "Assist Charge" on Mr. Ceres instead and thought if I recovered in potion - I was getting high from drinking too many nutritional drinks. Nutritional drinks were definitely potions for me.
"What's going on back there?
"Oh, yes, no, anything... no, I remember a little back in the day"
"Ah... maybe that time..."
Speaking of which, I recall that Mr. Fifty Storms once gave me a nutritional drink. When I told my colleagues, I was envious for some reason that the Beauty Chief would give me a nutritional drink - I wonder what wings he would have put on his imagination.
"... Alicht, I'll also make a Teresian suit. Leather suit made from the leather of" Death Coming from the Sky ". I don't change the design that much, but I think it will perform pretty well"
"Oh, please. I think using the Light Shade Skinny Suit as a lining will solve the problem of transparency when using Camouflage Stone."
"I think so, too. But an idea that wasn't in me. I admired Alicht's imagination."
I don't know if it will work if I don't try it, but I'd expect it. But the first time I try Optical Camo (Active Stealth), I just want to keep it in my quarters just in case.
"The rest is not the use of demon stones and runes. This is going to be another long walk."
The demon stones on the gear I used to use, the demon stones and runes that put me to sleep in the warehouse - and what I just got this time.
There are numerous combinations of weapons and demon stones. The choice of synthesis has also increased, but for one thing I want to think in the direction of putting all the stones on someone's gear - it would be a good idea not to change the stable demon stones because it is difficult to remove them every time.
"You can have more choices when you can equip several demon stones of the attribute system by yourself, but there are also things that are troubling that everyone should have one attribute attack at a time."
If Elitia can change her sword too, she can put on demon stones - but if she pokes the weakness attribute with her sword moves, she'll definitely gain considerable power.
"You can't synthesize a special attack demon stone at the moment. Attributes can only synthesize things that are compatible..."
"Once you synthesize it, you can't undo it. So you worry. I just want to synthesize what I got in Dublin."
"Doesn't" Hot Stone "and" Rupture Stone "look awesome when they synthesize something?
"'Life Stone' will increase your health… there are two, so if you can synthesize it and equip it to Mr. Alicht..."
Thankfully Suzuna will be worried, but the members who should improve their health will basically be avant-garde. Synthesis is fine, but I think it would be nice to have it used by the avant-garde elitists and Mr. Fifty Storms.
"Brother Alicht, I put out the materials for the parts I couldn't use for my gear as you instructed. That's about the assessment."
The report Madoka had sent out indicated 5300 gold coins. I wonder if using the usable part and the rest of this means your word or something - and then when you realize it, you're also accumulating funds to buy a house.
Confirming the total amount of gold coins to date, it was 28354 sheets. Converting silver and copper coins into gold coins, about 30,000 pieces. Reinforcement of equipment is a top priority, but I want to use it effectively where it can be used.
