First, we decide to appraise the "like bracelet" that had been found as a drop from "Sandsizers" - which was also a success in Madoka's "Appraisal 1" without any problems.

◆ Dessert Rose ◆

· The gem 'Desert Rose' is incorporated.

· "Special Effects: Sandy Demons" The number of blows inflicted on the demons in question is increased, and damage from enemies is reduced.

Special attacks from the "Sand" system can be used while equipped.

· "Physical Defense" improves slightly.

· "Magic Defense" improves slightly.

· "Agility" improves slightly.

It's an ornament, and something so high-performance is rare - it has the ability I wanted before I fought on "The Beach of the Sun," but that's the one I love. Sand will come out in the future, and it's not the ability to follow and lose money.

"Ha, if you look closely at this, it's a stone in rose form, isn't it? It looked like a chunk of sand, but I paid it and it's sparkling."

"It's like a desert rose, so I wonder if it's something I can take in the sand. It's amazing how naturally these shapes can be worn by people who can only wear light clothes."

Anyone who is equipped is something that benefits, so we are in the middle of getting lost. A member of the avant-garde equipped it to reduce the damage a little - I think.

…………

"Hmm? Teresia, what's up?

"Don't you want to touch it? Something to think about."

I felt the same way about Elitia, so I gave Teresia the bracelet - and she said...

"Eh... Te, Mr. Teresia's pattern...!

Theresia's equipped 'Hyde and Seek' and 'Chameleon's Boots' react to

It will be like sand - is this the one called protective color?

"I touched 'Dessert Rose', so I guess it turned into a sand colour..."

"Is that what happens when it's Mr. Teresia's equipment? Or because it's Mr. Theresia... which would be"

Elitia and Suzuna are twisting their necks, but in the case of 'optical camouflage' they blend into the landscape, so it is possible that Theresia has the ability to change from the original to the protective color. After a while, Theresia returned to her original color.

"If you're responding to a gem, there might be a change in color other than that. Alicht, why don't you take a look at Theresia's skills?

"Yes. Uh..."

I manipulate the license to display Teresian skills - then.

◆ Skill disclosure of slaves ◆

S-mode change: Benefit from the power of sandclad sand. Spend magic while activated. Can be activated by special equipment

"S mode...... change?

"Hmm... is that really what it says? The" S "refers to a special skill that can be used depending on the equipment. It's hard to find when you're looking for it."

If "s" means something like "special," do you mean the skill of "mode change: sandclad"?

What works is abstract and you can't tell until you try activating it during battle. But it seems worth taking a look at the opportunity to use it.

"If that's the case, Teresia would be better equipped."

"Yes, I'd like to test the effectiveness of the skill once."

Everyone agrees, so I decide to have 'Dessert Rose' used by Theresia. She herself knew it was something to put on her wrist, and put it through her left wrist.

…………

"Oh, you look great. Try your skills again."

Theresia is staring at me - and at the other members. Something you seem to care about.

"Sister Kyoka has a samurai armor, so you don't have to hesitate -"

"Oh... oh, you know. My armor's broken, but if I repair it, I can still use it."

Even strong equipment cannot be used if it is cursed. It is inevitable to think so more than looking at the strength of The Scarlet Emperor Sword and the risks it entails.

But without 'Curse Blade' skill, we wouldn't have won. I think there may be occasions when this somewhat disturbing sign of gear can be kept alive in some cases - but I feel chills so much that I just watch it and I sweat cold on my back, even if it's just being placed.

"Well... let's see what happens next. Alicht, be careful."

Madoka couldn't even get close to the equipment left behind by the 'bureaucrat' for the appraisal - she had it disarmed by Mr. Fifty Storms' 'Brave Mist' because she was in a state of 'fear'.

I'm not going to be able to get any closer to it flat without a 'brave mist' either. When I used an intermediate appraisal scroll that I put my hands on and arranged for Madoka not to touch, the appraisal results appeared on the license.

◆ Night Crab Armor ◆

· Grants a 'Fear' status anomaly to nearby enemy allies.

-They have some kind of curse.

-There is a hidden power.

After all, you mean you can't find out the details unless you're equipped? It even has the effect of not even being a figurine as it is.

"This might work better than a lousy watchdog... as long as we can curse it, maybe we can use it"

"Right...... am I cursed that other gear is for this minute"

"You don't know that until you've appraised it, because demons are incredible. Rather, it is rare to see that the entire body is judged to be equipped as such."

Mr Ceres is right, I shall try to appraise the other three as well - when I do.

◆ King In's helmet ◆

· "Head State Defense" Prevents related state anomalies in the head.

-They have some kind of curse.

-There is a hidden power.

◆ Fighting Ghost Hand ◆

· "Special Effects: Slash Attributes" Strikes against enemies that are vulnerable to Slash Attributes are increased.

· Increase the limit of 'Equipment Weight'.

· Strengthen 'Physical Defense' slightly.

· When the "Effect: Waste" site destruction is successful, add a blow.

· When health is reduced by more than a certain amount, you become in a 'struggle' state.

◆ Old Tissue ◆

· "Special Effects: Man-made" Strikes against Man-made enemies increase.

· "Fastness" is enhanced.

· "Magic Defense" is slightly enhanced.

· 'Indirect Defense' is slightly enhanced.

Ability to activate "Eight Flights" skill.

· Improves the performance of skills that strengthen allies.

When I appraised the helmet, I still wondered if it was all cursed - but when it comes to arm and foot protective equipment, I don't see the indication 'cursed'.

"I can't believe your whole body is equipped with 'starred' equipment... you can understand that strength too"

Elitia admires it. If all of this equipment was enhancing your abilities, you need to be careful with your gear at the same time as the human-shaped demons.

(This youthful tibia… reinforces support skills. But whoever's equipped looks like a strong performance, and you're about to get lost)

I'm already equipped with boots that can enhance my support skills. I thought it might be a good idea to have someone else with less than full foot gear wear it - though.

"This' small hand 'can be equipped by warriors and Mr. Melissa. Only Mr. Elitia, Sister Kyoka and Brother Alicht can equip"

"Then it would be good for Alicht to use the tibia. It looks like a design for men."

I think it's better to focus on performance than design, but it seems to be an important issue for the women. Of course, I care a little.

"Even though it's equipped with an atmosphere called War Maiden (Valkyrie) just above, it's also unbalanced to be a warrior only at your feet. Basically, I like the harmonious gear."

"I see... I'm also a new attempt to equip my suit with samurai, but is it necessary to strengthen my power?"

"In the Lord's world, there will be a shield called 'Leggers' to be used in fiercely colliding competitions. You can process it like that. It would be possible to combine the weapon with the original boot."

"If it has the same effect, it can become more effective when it can be synthesized. If that makes anyone invincible when they can be infinitely stronger, so I can't do that. If, for example, the effects of hitting harder overlap, the effects of the stronger ones will be enhanced slightly."

The combinations that can be synthesized are limited in themselves, and nothing can be synthesized. Mr. Steiner is at a lower level than he was in active service, but since he can choose the skills he loses when he goes down, it meant he still has the 'Gear Synthesis 2' skills he acquired at level 5.

"Well, can you synthesize these shins and my boots?"

'Oh, yeah. I'm out of stock right now, so I need to get some metal to connect to for synthesis... it's hard to get out there'

"I don't know if it will come out for sure, but if you cast the 'rusty metal mass' you might get it. Alicht, can I give it a try? It's not supposed to have any other use."

"Yes, thank you"

The rental workshop houses something like a small furnace that Mr. Steiner brought in. If you mean demonic props, you don't have to take the time to get ready, you can refine the metal - everyone is watching with interest.

"Here we go." O fiery furnace brought to you by the God of the Labyrinth, Celes Mistral prays to thee "..."

Put 'rusty metal chunks' in the furnace and make chants to call for them - do you use quite a bit of magic, Mr. Ceres sweats on his forehead. Mr. Steiner wiped that with a handkerchief and watched beside him as his assistant.

But even if I put one, two and a furnace, I didn't get the metal I wanted - I guess there's some use for 'Ermina Iron' as well, but now it's off the hook.

"Ku... don't you think... Steiner, give me the last one..."

'Yes, sir. Everyone is praying, if only one would come out...'

Put the last one in the furnace and Mr. Ceres casts a spell - everyone is praying for me, so I also closed my eyes and prayed that 'hit' could be pulled off - then.

extracted metal

- "Ermina Iron" x 4

- 1 x "Glow Gold"

- 1 x "True Silver Sand"

"Phew... If I can't use the six, I'll go get them at the exorcism ritual."

"Mr. Ceres, is this' true silver sand 'the ingredient you use to synthesize it?

"Um, even when it comes to sand, it's not a collection of fine pieces of metal. When we synthesize this, we can relate our equipment to each other's abilities."

I could have snatched the drop from 'Sandsizers' in Teresia's 'Triple Steel', but what are the chances of getting a 'Rusty Metal Chunk' otherwise - something like this, so I want to be sure to use Teresia's morale liberation when defeating a strong enemy.

"Enhancement using 'Glow Gold' will result in either 'Light Attribute Enhancement 1' or 'Light Attribute Resistance 1', but it can also be used to fix Kyoka's circlet when it is corrupted. As it stands, we might not have a problem keeping it."

"Right...... I would like to think about what I would use it for again if I could take something that could be used for gear with giant crab material. If" True Silver Sand "is so precious, I don't feel like using it right away..."

"I know how you feel, but I don't think you have a hand in keeping 'The Tissue of the Young' asleep in the warehouse. This gear fits well with the Lord who strengthens his allies. As far as I'm concerned, I'll take care of it."

"I don't know what it's going to be like for you to fly eight ships in the back, but I think it's a good idea to be able to move lightly. What do you guys think?

Mr Fifty Arashi asks for his opinion - everyone agrees, but Misaki reluctantly raised his hand.

"With your brother behind you, we'll be strong, won't we? If that's going to work, then, uh... every single time, it doesn't make me feel more thrilled...?

"Huh... well, that's... it's making us all stronger, so 'trust' is easy, isn't it?

"In parties, it is easy to gain the confidence of healers (healers) and members who take enemy attacks in the avant-garde. They use their skills directly to protect their people. Since Alicht seems to be a leader and supporter of everyone, it would be particularly easy to gain trust."

…………

I'm going to look at this one so that Theresia agrees with Mr. Ceres. I'm a 'rear guard', so I can't do anything without my people. I wonder if it is easier for party members to gain confidence because of this, but is it still special compared to other support positions?

"Trustworthiness means favor. Don't be afraid of misunderstandings, it's up to the higher to trust the other person. There are occasions when high levels of trust make it possible to overcome difficulties, so I think it's best to have as much trust as possible."

"Ah, a more serious return than I thought. When you put it that way, it sounds like I'm the only one who thinks about it. It's amazing how safe it feels to have your brother behind you, because even when you're asleep, you wake up worried about him."

"Huh... Mi, Misaki, if I'm going to wake up in the middle of the night, shall I sleep with you next time? Sleep deprivation is the enemy of your skin."

"... sorry, Alicht, keep it to yourself... but I want Alicht to continue to sleep slowly and get tired..."

"Oh, yeah, I sleep pretty well though. Guys, what's going on? Your face is bright red."

I put a fire in the furnace when refining, but it's not so hot indoors. Theresia hasn't turned much red either, but when she takes my gaze, she turns away.

(Also while my skill is asleep...? No, you haven't had anything lately. Am I too deep asleep... No, I'm not...)

It distracts me from Melissa and Madoka, so I'm just curious. Mr. Ceres looked at us like that and looked at Mr. Steiner like he had come up with something.

"It might be a good idea to rent an inn before going back to 8th arrondissement. The simple beds in the workshop are stiff, so it's time to sleep in a soft bed."

'Right, sir. I'll make sure you don't disturb the Atobes, okay?

"Yeah, I'm fine. So let's all move freely from here."

"" "Yes" "

"Yes."

…………

Everybody respond to each other and take their seats. After all, Theresia said she went with me - but she also wondered if she was just away from everyone, walking away with everyone going back to her quarters.

"... healthy, Theresia is. May the Lord not think only of stiff things, but always put them aside?"

"We act together every day, all day. Sometimes I wonder if it's necessary to set Theresia free."

"That makes sense. Wouldn't that girl be most relieved to be with your Lord"

'We all are, but you're patient. On your day off, Atobe took care of you. "

I don't know if that's it, but I can't tell you anything when I see Melissa and Madoka wave this way before I leave the workshop.

"The future of this party depends on the merits of Alicht. And I don't know if it's mean to abuse you too much. So, Steiner, let's get to work."

"Yes, my lord."

(... Ceres's tone changed for a moment... maybe his usual tone is acting)

If you're acting to be dignified, Mr. Steiner seems to make an image of an unidentified armor, and maybe these two are alike to each other.

I'll say hello and leave the rental workshop behind. It's been a long time since I've acted alone - I won't hang out much and I'll decide to finish what I need to do.
