World Strongest Rearguard – Labyrinth Country and Dungeon Seekers

Upon returning to the dormitory, Igarashi-san came out after changing his clothes.Apparently, Ceres-san called me--and there's an unexpected figure.

"Hey, ants."

"Mr. Leene..."

Ceres pulls the triangle hat flap and hides his face.Steiner seemed a little confused in front of Schultz, the scarecrow she brought with her.

"I'm sorry to have you come to my ancestral home again. It's been a long time since I've been out of town."

I'll say it like it came out in the mood, but isn't it that you've been stuck with it all this time?

"Hmm. There's something about me... I honestly think it's been a long time since I've seen my childhood friend's face."

"What's so familiar about childhood? It's a prodigal thing."

When I was with Mr. Steiner, Ceres, who had grown up against the appearance of a girl, showed a face that she had never seen before.

"Ceres said he was a 'jade folk'.She's from the same place, isn't she? "

"Yeah, that's what happens." I became an Explorer before Ceres, and I've had some twists and turns to this day... now let's start working on the [Holy Stone].You'd better ask a trusted Ceres than I do. "

"What are you saying...?"I've already told Ali that I and Leanne can do the same thing. "

"That's right... I think Ceres knows it too, but I'll use it to impart special ore powers to my arsenal.""It's a mediating jewel."

"Ah... did you have it with you?"I haven't seen you for a long time either, but.... "

"I got it when I was a Seeker."I thought I might not use it anymore, but I met Ari Hito-kun. "

Leanne puts her hand on the robe's chest and takes out her pendant - a metal rocket and several jewels attached to it.

After removing one of the gems, Ms. René offers it to Ms. Ceres.Both of them look alike in this way - both of them are younger than their age, and their flax-colored hair is similar in color.The most important thing you can be aware of is your eyes, which are the same color.

"Atobe-sama, we are in a dormitory because the information of individual parties should be kept secret."

"If anything happens, I'll be right there. Call me."Waiting is the basics of guild sabers. "

“Thank you, and I'll thank you again.”

"Don't worry, I'll let you do it in a way."

"Hothrow's way of saying things is misleading... but I want Lord Atobe to be safe."So you don't have to thank me. ”

"Well then, I'll let you wait until my turn."I can't smoke unless I'm outside. Ko (...) Ko (...) "

Oh, Luca, you seem pretty good, too.

Luca and Hoslow pulled out of their pockets a cigar case.Kozelka gasps small as she watches the two of them walk together.

Um, if you don't mind, why don't we talk about it?

"... yes, Lieutenant Serafina, may I speak with you a moment?"

Yes, sir. I understand, sir.

Couserca is invited by Farma to walk - he's going to go to Ceres' workshop, but he's waiting to talk around.

I know that Cuzerca and the others are holding back because of Theresia, but at present, both of Theresia's hands are marked with the "Golden Circle of Restraint", so it seems that there is no need to worry so much.

I'd like to get you out of custody as soon as possible - I think so, but I'll ask Kuselka again later.I'll take care of all the responsibilities, but I don't know if I can get your approval with that kind of language.

◆◇◆

Upon entering the workshop, Ceres placed the "Mediation Jewelry" received from Lene along with the "Haven Stiletto".

"Hmm... this kind of sword?"Only some professions that are not specialized swordsmen can be equipped, but is that okay? "

"Ugh... that's..."

If there wasn't a member who could equip it, I'd have to look for a weapon that would be the base for the [Curse Sauce] weapon.However, Madoka's investigation revealed a profession that can be equipped.

"Theresia from Rogue can equip weapons of this type."

"Then Theresia's attack will be a must when she defeats [Ape Marquis]... I'll cut off [Ape Marquis] as much as I can, so try to stop her."

…………

Theresia nodded her head.With René watching, Ceres placed his hand on the "Haven Stiletto" and "Holy Stone".

"It's a sacred stone that shines."Transfer that power once and for all to the jewels and dwell in a new weapon...! "

◆ Current Situation ◆

"Ceres" activates "Extract" Extracts the special ability of "Holy Stone" as a magic character

"Ceres" activates "Conversion" and adds a magic character to "Haven Stiletto"

"Holy Stone" starts to shine, and its light is absorbed by "Mediating Jewel".In addition, the light overflowing from the "jewel of mediation" changes into letters and flows into the "Haven Stiletto", causing a phenomenon that seems to penetrate.

◆ Gloria Stiletto + 6 ◆

Critical damage is more likely to occur when attacking [Spike].

[Attack] is increased when equipped with different weapons in both hands.

[Attack Speed] is improved.

· "Hate Avoidance Rate" is improved.

"Silent Stone" is fitted.

[Special Attack: Curse] Curse monsters are hit higher, and [Curse Strike] is activated when a monster is defeated.

It's because of the magic characters engraved on the Haven Stiletto and the changed name - using starred materials.The ability to improve the hate evasion rate should not have existed before, so it was added at the time of strengthening.

"Ugh... I'm glad it was completed successfully."These enhancements can lose materials if they fail. ”

Holy Stone is a difficult material even for my master.

“If you fail, we still have spares.With the help of Misaki, I think we can make sure that the machining succeeds. ”

"Such a method... the ant humans are a gathering of members who are not the only ones after all"

No, it's not that bad, though.

Misaki is shining, but in principle, you can't use Fortune Roll in the city, so you need to ask Ceres to follow you to the labyrinth.That's what we're going to need to do if we're going to be able to keep precious materials from losing them.

"... now I can repay my debt to the ants as well."That's why I can't join the battle of Ali Hito, but I want to accompany Schwartz someday.That's why I don't want you to survive... even if you say this, you'll be in trouble. "

"Thank you, Mr. Leene. That feeling alone is enough.It was really helpful that you taught me how to break the curse. ”

"... I also want to believe that I can let go without giving in to the curse."Ceres and your armor are disciples.You guys need to be careful. "

Atobe-sama, can we come with you?

"If you can ask me, can you ask me for an escape route?"It's our job to fight the monsters... it's hard to skip the back while we attack the Monkey Lord's fortress. "

"Very well, because once we fought together with Luca and the ants."It's not like I can be called anytime since then, but I've tried not to drop my level. "

Of course, we can't put everyone's backers at risk - but if you don't have a companion to help you back when you defeat [Monkey Marquis] and escape, your sense of security will change significantly.

"Now I can build the weapons I need to decurse Theresia."The Queen's Tail is also made from the materials of The Calamity.I wonder how to operate it when it's mounted on the wagon. "

McCain at the wagon shop contacted me that it was already finished.

"Apparently, it was in time."In order to measure whether it will be a decisive weapon against the "Monkey Marquis", we should try and shoot it once. "

“Yes, I think I'll try.Madoka, can you help me? "

"I'm always ready for you."

Madoka salutes me - but I'm not nervous because I'm going to play an important role in the fight against the [Ape Marquis].

"...... I'm glad to have you fight with oniisan."That's why this is called... samurai trembling. "

"That's right... I'm nervous too, but I'll do my best not to endanger Madoka."That's why you can rest assured. "

I don't know what kind of battle it's going to be - so to put your words to rest is just to make your people uneasy.

"Rear-kun, don't put too much effort on your shoulders."We're here, too. "

"... Igarashi-san"

"It feels strange for me to be in a position to say this... but don't carry it on your own."We'll definitely help our people if anything happens to them.If I can't do that, I can't really say I want to help Luuli and the people who are being manipulated. ”

Even just defeating the "Monkey Marquis" and his subordinate monsters could not be done by other Explorers - everyone had to fight an opponent who was distant and not worth the risk, while clearing the difficult conditions.

"Until now, Ali humans have surprised me many times."That's why I don't think it's sweet this time, but I still want to believe it. "

"... that's what I think myself."If you hesitate to move on, you will get nothing.That's how we've always been. ”

"That's right. Explorers who progress as fast as their lords are unlike any other in the history of the Labyrinth Nation... the word" fastest "isn't a big slob either."That's why I don't want you to stop walking. "

"I'll tell Atobe-sama... no, I won't tell you now."When this battle is over, will you let me talk to you again? ”

"Mr. Steiner, that's called a 'flag', isn't it?"Nh, you can't just teach me this time, can you? "

I think I can understand what Mr. Steiner is trying to say, but I'm not sure what he's going to say right now.

When will you enter the [Burning Sky Red Building]?

"The Theresia's" curse "has progressed far enough not to be delayed for another day."I underestimated the [Curse]... I didn't even think that defeating a monster with Theresia's hand would make it progress. "

"The conditions under which the curse progresses are also varied... that doesn't mean that Ali Hito feels responsible."It's also my clue. "

Mr. Leanne comes in to talk.There's no clue, but without Lene's help, we wouldn't be able to find a way to break the curse.

"... hmm? Ceres, where's the armor?"

"It's the plate mail that the ants found in the [Black Box]."I can't equip it at the moment because it hasn't been evaluated yet. "

Lady Leanne, don't you have a scroll of senior appraisal?

Mr. Steiner is a childhood friend of Mr. Ceres, or is he paying tribute to Mr. René?Leanne opened the pouch that was hanging from her shoulder and began to look inside, tickling it.

"I thought I might use it someday, but a lot of time has passed."Advanced appraisal"... a skill that corresponds to "Appraisal 3" or higher has a value like a rare treasure.This scroll was also like a treasure in my eyes. "

So that's not the case right now.As if she could see inside of me, Leanne laughed.

"You look dazzling to me and Schwarz now."I was also glad when you visited the temple.I was wondering if I should see Ceres when she delivered her letter, until just before I got here... but I'm glad I came. "

"... why didn't you tell me that?"

Ceres shrugged, and Leene shook her shoulders and laughed.And he gave me the scroll that he had taken out of the porch.

"Thank you, Mr. Leene. I will use it."

"Oniisan, can I have an appraisal right away?"

"Oh, please."

Madoka walks up to the plate mail hanging on the pedestal, opens the scroll - and the plate mail with a dull surface begins to shine.

◆ Gracial Plate ◆

It is mainly made of "Chris Dight".

"Ultra-light" has been modified.

Strengthen [Physical Defense].

[Indirect Defense] is slightly strengthened.

Enhance [Magic Defense].

Disable the influence of "Terrain Effect: High Temperature".

"Ice Shield" may trigger when damaged by an enemy.

There is one slot.

It is damaged.

"Ugh... I feel like it's cool just by getting close to this armor..."

Madoka is surprised, but all feel the same - I thought that "appraisal" was to look up information about things that were not detailed, but apparently the "Advanced Appraisal" was a little different.

"Anything that needs to be done after [Appraisal 3] is concealed so that no one can use it."I should say that I showed my true identity by appraisal..... "

"Cold air armor... it's also starry."And there was one slot. That means you can wear a rune. "

"It's broken, but the clasp is slightly damaged, so I can fix it if I have the ingredients.But I wonder if I can procure "Chris Dight"...... "

I think I found that metal in the labyrinth earlier.

Melissa says, taking the "Chris Dite" out of her tuna pocket.Mr. Steiner looked at it and raised his thumb.

I can fix it in two hours.My master also said, "Should I tailor this armor to Serafina-san?"

"Are you sure?" Even if you let me use such a powerful armor. "

"Yes, I'll ask you to restore the armor you've been using."Steiner-san, can you do me a favor? "

"Ahh, looks like it broke quite flashily."This will take a while, so let's think about how to restore it at a later date. "

"Thank you very much." Can you adjust this "Grassiard Plate"? "

Of course, I can match the size.Atobe-sama, let me borrow Serafina-san for a second. "

Steiner took Serafina and went into the back of the workshop.And I also took the [Grassiard Plate] that was hanging on it.

"Let's take care of the other equipment as well."I'll see everything by tomorrow morning. "

"Thank you, Mr. Ceres."

"... if that's the case, I'll help you too."I'm going to leave you like this, and you're going to think that you're a heartless person. "

If that's the reason, you don't have to help me.

Even though Ceres said it, René didn't seem offended.

Rather than being childhood friendly, these two are very much alike like sisters.Ceres seemed to be hitting on René too, and the words made the two feel familiar.

"...... Mmm. Ali, the magic stone on the sling is cracked."

"It looks like the Operation Stone has exceeded its usage limit."I'd like to put something different on it temporarily.... "

"Well then, why don't you remove the [Kaishin Stone] from the [Blood Soccer] you showed me before and put it on your sling?"If you're a user of [Blood Soccer], you might want to use it as it is. "

I asked Madca to look into it and found that "Blood Football" was a weapon that Melissa and Theresia could use.Melissa uses either the "Butcher's Knife" or the "Fobidoon Sice", and Theresia is equipped with the "Gloria Stiletto", so there are no members to use it at the moment.

"It was originally Silone's weapon, so I'd better return it to its original state... but [Gloria Stiletto] is in a state of emergency, so I'll explain the situation when I see her again."

"That's right... I'll borrow the [Kaishin Stone] as well."The "Silent Stone" attached to the "Gloria Stiletto" should be worn on the horn flute of Suzuna. "

”Maybe [Silence] can prevent the opponent from casting spells...”

"Silence" will be effective as a means to neutralize the Explorer who is being manipulated.Even if the opponent attacks mercilessly, they can prevent the use of abilities that require chanting if they can inflict a status abnormality.

I think we should increase the number of places where the horn flute magic stone can be attached.Is it better to use one of the "True Silver Sands"? "

Yes, please.

If you can't maintain strength, you can't increase the magic hole, but I think this horn flute will do fine.

◆ Equipment processing ◆

Repair " Gracial Plate" using "Chris Dight Piece"

"Gracial Plate" is fitted with "Rune of Transfer"

Processing of " Makigami's sound" with "True Silver Sand" number of magic stones can be mounted +1

"Silent stone" attached to " Makigami's voice" enhanced to "+2"

"Kaishin Stone" is attached to " Black Magic Bullet"

I don't know where each gear enhancement will be effective.However, increasing the number of tactics a party can choose is always the key to finding a way to survive in a dilemma.

"Atobe-sama, I'm sorry you're busy."Even if I ask you to report on your exploration..... "

Louisa just finished her work for the guild and came over.

I must tell her that I will enter the "Red Building of Burning Sky" tomorrow.I want to explain the situation as calmly as possible and make sure that the conditions for entering the five-star labyrinth are met.
