Chapter 47 (1/2)
“Ding! Congratulations on leveling up! Current level is 46!”
“Ding! Congratulations on leveling up! Current level is 47!”
“Ding! Congratulations on leveling up! Current level is 48!”
“Ding! Congratulations on leveling up! Current level is 49!”
Awestruck by Mikoto’s form, Wu Yan lost his thoughts for a moment there.
What an amazing sight to behold!
When is Mikoto most eye catching?
1 out of 10 would say that it’s when she’s being tsundere, another 1 out of 10 would say it’s when she’s holding gekota, the remaining 8 out of 10 would absolutely concur with one answer, it’s when she’s using railgun!
This astonis.h.i.+ng spectacle he has only ever seen on screen is now unfolding in front him.
Now that he has seen this awesome demonstration he can’t help feeling impressed once more, how domineering, how heroic, how handsome!
Compared to his elation of jumping levels, his awe outweighs his joy. What can he say, despite defeating someone 15 levels above him he has only risen by 4 levels, the gap between tiers are just getting tougher and tougher. (Tl: every summon gets the same 100% experience points)
Mikoto on the other hand didn’t rise in levels at all, he can’t reach tier 6 and she can’t reach tier 8, looks like the grind is real.
“So cool!”
Even Hinagiku can’t help admiring this scene, one should know she’s a cool person as well so if she says so then it must be… d.a.m.n cool!
“Yan, here.”
Going to his side she gave him a jade, the snake’s dead so now the jewel of heavenly palace is naturally retrieved by her. (Tl: yep, the jewel turns out to be jade in nature 玉牌 perhaps something like this)
“Finally!”
One day and night they have went through various turmoils to get this thing. From the ‘wall’ monster to the wolf monster and then the youkai army the tree monster and then the snake monster. It’s a short but eventful trip that’s for sure…
The two girls went pensive, relative to him the two suffered in psychological terms even more. The slaughter changed them, at least Mikoto could now dirty her hands with the blood of monster who can only do harm, if it’s killing another person, maa, he still thinks that is unlikely for the time being.
Their returns however were not any lesser, from the start he’s just a level 30 tier 4 and now in a day he has reached lv49 on the cusp of entering tier 6. Not to mention he net himself a great profit of 8.3mil, no 8.2 mil Item points!
Mikoto also level up to 69. The jade’s in their hand, now they only need to pa.s.s the thing over to Hatsuho in exchange for the mysterious crystal fragment and their quest here would be done. Yep, totally worth it.
Inspecting the snake he arrived at its head. He sighed as he looked at what used to be a whole monster, the railgun blew a hole right through it from head to tail, perhaps even in the last moment of its live the snake didn’t know what happened to him.
“Ding! 50’000 Item points obtained!”
Selling the body he got 50’000 Item points and that concluded this sealing barrier adventure and at the same time it signals the end of his short time here on Hayate the combat butler’s world…
“Yan, I will return this to you, sorry I didn’t use it during this battle.”
She returned the bottle of Resplendent Breath to him while awkwardly smiling.
“Why are you giving it to me? You keep it, it’s to protect your life during dire times.”
He just shot a glance when he saw this, with 8.25mil of Item points, would one care about a bottle of Resplendent Breath?
“You keep it, isn’t it more useful that way?”
She retorted back at him with a bit of sa.s.s, she sounded like she’s standing with the truth behind her.
Giving her an evil eye he shot back at her.
“With my Item points right now, do I still lack anything? I think it be best if you hold on to it, don’t insist on this simply because you can’t die, to revive you requires Summoning points and Summoning points I do not have much to do so!”
His Summoning points is 11’000 right now and her required amount of Summoning points back then was 70’000 so it’s a fact he can’t pay the dues right now!
“What’s this now, if you die then won’t I die as well? I am looking out for myself here!”
A bit abnormal she insisted. It’s true she felt dauntless because she could be revived and she had the impulse to try something reckless, of course it’s just an impulse she wouldn’t go out of her way to die.
From here one can see just how ‘pa.s.sionate’ she is to seek out thrill…
“If this stupid guy here don’t want it, here Hinagiku you take it!”
She turned her head over to Hinagiku in an agitated way, it’s as though rejecting her goodwill is something foolish, he’s at a loss of words at her.
“Me? I don’t need it as well.”
She shook her hands.
“After this mission, when I go to the other world I would be in the same boat as you so I wouldn’t need it.”
“Have you thought it through yet? Hinagiku….”
He questioned her resolve.
“To follow us means to leave your parents behind you know? and your sister as well for that matter? Can you do that?”
Flinching at this she mused for awhile before smiling at him.
“Yea, I want to choose my path for myself once, besides, you said it? Once you guys leave this place the world would be in a frozen state so there’s no need to worry for them.”
“choosing your own path is it?”
He went silent thinking about something.
“What’s with you being so naggy, you have something to say about this?!”
Folding her arms in front of her, Mikoto looked upset that he’s doubting her.
“She already said it, she wants to choose her path, why are you being so wishy washy!”
“How’s this wishy washy…”
He looked like he was about to retort with his ‘I-m-doing-this-for-you’ att.i.tude.
“I’m just trying to listen to her wishes, how’s this being wishy washy?”
