Chapter 26 (1/2)
The Shaman can't become a Hero
Act 4: Two-Headed Hound
Chapter 26: Goma Loot
Let’s check the gear
We brought back all the Goe With both me and Futaba-san, we used the stretcher I onceback a decent amount I quickly decided on which ones to take by briefly looking if they’re usable, and upon co back to this safe location, I took upon the talk of carefully sorting out which ones we’ll be needing for dungeon exploration from here onwards
“I say that, but all I’ve got here’s dull blades and junk”
Go decent weapons, is but a well-known truth Even for rusty knives, blades of iron would be their top spec
Still, nohen Futaba-san became a peerless Berserker, even these trashy weapons are better than being e out ones even a bit useful
“Futaba-san can probably handle sohter ones should be better for speed No wait, high dae should be”
So I’ve being deliberation like that groaning h able to choose weapons like this could be said to be quite a luxury Especially for aood bit of fun
Incidentally, I’ Futaba-san’s weaponry only because she has left it to htest clue about these things I h
“Kay, let’s go with this”
Piling deliberation upon deliberation on my mind, I finally came to an answer
First, the main weapon will be the axe she used just before The handle being around a , and furthermore, maybe because it’s built for coer side Looks to be a genuine battle-axe
Co sizes and quality, the result was settled upon this being the closest to ideal size
Next are the sub weapons For this I chose a hatchet typically fashi+oned for chopping wood, and two sith would be 30 cuess There werecriteria here would be the low rusting Adding on to that, the clincher would be the fact that these had sheaths as well
Sheathes are essential when venturing with blades Even gradeschoolers understand the dangers of running around with a naked blade Though they’re dirty anda sheath or not presents a big difference
Finally, one encies, a s
Futaba-san’s equipment status: done Next is me
“Equipping h”
Maybe because of that mindfra
My e knife tied on, hand crafted by the Goma Compared to theand Trap Goma, the one with a blade attached is clearly superior What I fundah there was a surprisingly good-looking axe, I settled for the spear which was light and had better reach
My sub-weapon, sile knife This too had a sheath
“Would’ve been great if I had bow or soe”
No use de an Archer, there’s doubts whether I can handle so like that
If asked to prepare a long range weapon fro the pouches that the Goather some stones that look throwable Maybe they’ll co around a feon’t be cumbersome
Now then, I’ve prepared two of these throwing-stone pouches, one for eneric weapons, there’s others to think about Gear, or rather these should be called Iteuess
First, starting with Oint eon capture, and the area where I can truly show my mettle
There’s probably more Fairy Squares dotted with some frequency, so I’ll produce an a that frequency Thanks to beating all those Gos are aplenty, lots of room to store my meds
Actually, ast these meds, there’s that narcotic included too
I found sos with that white powder A nuo around
However, using this raouldif I can return safely froain
So to safely , I’ll use the Bluefloith it’s antidote effect Pertaining its usefulness in settling down the dependence factor and extre proof
Therefore,once shouldthe effects In the case that Futaba-san goes rigid from fear, or even if you sih value
I dub it Reagent X
Having to use this wouldthat we never end up in so like that
For our belongings, these would be the things worth mention The rest would be, yeah, I cut up soe, and stored the
Naturally, I don’t want to use things worn by such filthy Monsters as is, and they should be the worst froiene standpoint as well This too, I chose ones that looked relatively cleaner, and sent the
“Momokawa-kun, I’m done with the laundry”
As I was doing gear selection, it seems Futaba-san has completed her job
I look to find the articles of laundry hung to dry As there was rope, or better said, it’slike that
Tying these vines to the Fairy Walnut trees lined up on both sides, we get an impromptu clothesline There’s no wind here, and it’s not like the laundry’s been put through a dryer so it should take a while before they get dry
“That soap, hoas it?”
“I didn’t get ot out”
The thing I called soap, correctly, it wasn’t soap
According to the new updates in the information from the Note Circle, ere introduced to a plant that works in place of soap [1]
I forgot it’s proper name, but this natural soap plant, it’s the size of a Fairy Walnut, and peeling away the blue husk reveals a banana-like white-ish interior The appearance see that it wasn’t suitable as food Even my Intuition Pharmacy was like, You wanna blow bubbles and keel over, then have one, so I definitely stopped all thoughts of trying it
Anyway, the high about of unique oil content in this white thing apparently works well in getting rid of dirt Plus, this convenient soap can actually be found at a Fairy Square it says
Searching under the trees as per the info, we certainly did find some There’s not as many as the Fairy Walnuts, but there’s a decent amount scattered about Seems like not all of these trees are of Fairy Walnut
“Well then, let’s look for those Mimesis Worms”[2]
The convenient resources don’t just stop at the Soap Fruits Along with it, the Note Circle introduced us to another, this insect known as the Mimesis Worms The proper name is redacted
