Vol 1 Chapter 15 (2/2)

I left the weapon shop and ran to the market

Was he saying that de extra food? What an odd type of creature

But her stats were getting higher, and she was getting stronger That’s good

Still though, I couldn’t afford to spend all my money on food

I bought some food and ran back to the weapon shop The oas in theRaphtalia how to use her neord

“See?”

“Thanks!”

Raphtalia kept stuffing food into herthe sword, and how to dodge attacks

It seeress

“You up for this too?”

“I’ll just watch Thanks”

“Yeah, your defense is so high it doesn’t matter anyway But if you lose your balance, you’ll be in serious trouble”

… Said the owner, and finished his lecture We settled the bill Then the guy passed me a lump of white rock

“What’s this?”

“It’s a whetstone The neord isn’t coated either If you don’t do so to break just like the last one”

“You don’t say…”

The shi+eld started to react, so I let it absorb the stone

“H…Hey!”

Sharpening shi+eld: conditions met

Huh? That was a funny name

I guess it was still a shi+eld though

There were so uess the idea was not to be derivative but to use it in co shi+eld and the UsaMeat shi+eld in co

I guess because you needed a sharp knife to cook

The defense level was prettyshi+eld Apparently, letting the shi+eld absorb a dead Usapil before it was butchered would result in an Usapil shi+eld, which had a higher defense value

Sharpening shi+eld: ability locked:

equip bonus: sharpening level 1

Special Effect:

autoe)

Special effect?

I checked the help screen

Special Effect:

Special effects are effects that appear only when the specified weapon is equipped for the first time Unlike equip effects, these effects cannot be learned for later use, so be careful and only use them when you are sure they will be useful

Just like those other games with their effects

So, like, if it was a dragon-type, you could expect a really spectacular effect when it was equipped I think it was supposed to be so like that

I hurried to change my shi+eld

“Woah! What was that?!”

The Sharpening shi+eld was a little larger than the Se, white stone

But it was covered in etched grooves So Soh them

“Hey, you idiot! Listen to me!”

Whatever… “autoe)” I wonder what that meant?

If it was like the nauess it meant that the ability would be useful for a certain amount of time…

“Hey!”

“What is it, old dude?”

“What’s with that shi+eld?’

“You saw it before! It’s the Legendary shi+eld”

“I never heard of it, and I never saw it”

“Yes you did It was a Small shi+eld back then”

“Then why is it a giant whetstone now?”

“Because I let it absorb the whetstone you gave me Come on, man”

“…”

He looked atI was saying

“I’d heard that the Legendary Weapons were imbued with a mysterious power Is this what they meant?”

“Didn’t the other heroes tell you?”

“I haven’t seen them in a while And you’re the only one that I’ve seen do so like that”

We probably should have talked all this out in advance, but who had the time to deal with pleasantries when a terrible fate would be upon us in just over a week? Apparently the other heroes were planning on keeping secrets to give thee

Well, they had earned my distrust

… But in their defense, there really was no need to go around showing your abilities off I suppose they were being efficient

“What are you all worried about?”

“Well, it says autoe consumption It sounds like it will automatically keep your sword sharp

I didn’t knohat it was going to consuh

“Hmmm…”

The owner took an old, rusty sword out frorooves on my shi+eld

“I’ll give you some of my trashed equipment You can try it on this”

“Right Thanks”

An icon appeared in ”

It felt heavy, and my shoulders felt burdened

I looked atlisted there It had not changed yet, but noas slowly decreasing

I had figured it was probably related to skill points, but I was surprised that it was used up on activities like this

“All right, let’s get going”

“We’re going?”

“Yes”

I put my hand on Raphtalia’s head and headed for the door

We needed to focus on leveling up, and then on getting enough food to settle Raphtalia’s belly

“Hey, old man”

“What? Did you forget so?

He was leaning on the counter like he couldn’t stand to be bothered by any more questions

“There is a dungeon in the town on the other side of the forest Do you knohere populated by th?”

I unrolled eon that the woman had told me about

I figured it would be better to ask I didn’t have to believe what he said though

“The town itself, and the road leading to it, has eon than to the forest”

“Okay, cool I’ to visit”

We needed to focus on leveling up, and onmoney, before the prophesied day arrived
