Chapter 93: Cherry-picking

“H-holy crap… I’ve hit the mother lode”

While Tendo-kun was having a delightful sround, I was knee deep into the massive pile of ood stuff

Fros, to pawn ants to wild boars to those hopping monkeysThere’s tons of mobs I’ve seen and ood part: scattered a to ar there like nobody’s businessThese mid-boss tier materials will obviously, and dramatically improve the quality of my Rem

“Wait, No, freakin… way, are those actual dragon scales!?”

The chain of happy surprises clion? They’re as big as my palms each, that’s why

“It requires exceptional skill and experience to concoct medicines out of scales fro product is extreon then”

And just like that, Intuition Phar were indeed scales belonging to a dragonI’h skill level to use the them in my possession held a lot of potential value

I only found 3 of these Salah the mountain of parts, but just these three are bound to yield tremendous effectHeck, even if they don’t, they’d make for some rad accessories

“Yeah, Tendo-kun definitely has sorade-like skills”

The presence of dragon scales aht this salamander and beat it tooThere’s no way he just randomly happened to pick these up

The red of these scales match up with the red bastard sword that Tendo-kun had previously brought outThere’s a big chance that he constructed that sword using salamander scalesA salamander would obviously be able to breathe fireAnd ic circles to rapidfire fireballs like a ons use fire like it’s an extension of their body, and who knows, es and have a variety of different ways to use their element

And having eaten such a fire breathing dragon, a salamander, Tendo-kun is able to also wield the same dominance over fire

He leaves Yokomichi in the dust, practicallyThe latter was so proud just having that paralysis tongue fro dragon

“Man, what if Reetting my hopes up too muchI’ll be happy with at least fire resistance”

“Heeey Momokahatcha up to∼” Rando-san called out to otten bored

“I’ for a ritual”

“You’ve been at it forever dude∼”

“That long?”

“That long”

I guess I have been going at it for a whileTheI’d co else

“Need any help?”

Huh, do I? I et it done faster and I do kind of want to examine every piece myself…

“Sure, Rando-sanCan you look through everything here and pick up the ones you think are good?”

“How aood?”

“Well, I figured that you, as a geoht notice hidden properties in some of these that I can’t”

“Oh, so you’re curious about my fashi+on sense?”

“Uh, sure, let’s go with that”

“GotchaTrust me, I don’t disappoint∼”

It ave her so to do, but I’m somewhat serious about what I saidIt was thanks to my Intuition Phared to a salaredients based appraisal skill pales in comparison to Tendo-kun’s OP appraisalAnd it’s not even all that informative to be honest

I don’t think Rando-san just conveniently happens to have an appraisal skill of her own, but being an eleht be able to naturally sense the ood to let another pair of eyes pass over everything lest I risk

“Hn is ehh∼” Rando-san see earnestyShe was on her knees, looking through half of the total nu it so seriously that―― wait, won’t I see her panties in that pose!?

“Yuck, this still had blood on it! E, Moet water∼!”

“Ah! Sure, here”

Oh shi+t, oh shi+t, I should’ve realized! The ed on a table but scattered all over the ground, so of course you’d have to crouch or even just bend over then to have a good lookI have pants on so whatever, but the girl over there is wearing a skirtAnd this isn’t just any girl, this is Rando-san, who makes it a point to wear her skirt incredibly short, perhaps even the shortest in our whole class

M-Mu… MustNotLook

“Ohh, this one!” Rando-san yelled“It’s really nice∼ Momokawa, you like this one?”

“Could you please put the ones that catch your eye over there?”

“Sure thing, Boss∼”

Here I a myself completely unable to avert my eyes fro quick peeks, but she has to knowI heard that girls have a sort of intuition about dirty gazes

Whichentleman I can be in this sort of situation

Come on, I don’t need thisDon’t do this to irls, you know? You know that, don’t you? I see now, Rando-san is a truly devilish te out from under her skirt

Ugh, not today… I refuse to fall victim to your voluptuous charm! (rip in peace)

“ ―― Phew∼ yup, that’s everythingWe’re good, Momokawa?”

“Yeah, thanks Rando-san”

We’d finished going through everythingIt was a lot of work, but fun workPlus, there was Rando-san to chat with, which did technically slow us down, but it made the experience much more enjoyable

The collection of parts I carefully singled out, in addition to the ones that Rando-san thought would look good, will be used in the ritual of Vile Mud DollI’ll of course be set up ram Eye with appropriate sacrifices at each pointBut before that,

“Bathroom break” I said casually

Let’s not beat around the bushDid I see them? Yes, yes I didRando-san really needs some better defenseI saw them a few times actually

They were leopard print

“―― Hey you’re back” Rando-san welcomed me back“You sure took your time”

“Sorry”

I really amBut if it’s the nuht? And even if I’ it outside the fairy square, it takes some time to do the whole cleanup procedure

OkayI orried whether I’d get to collect redient this time, but that’s well and taken care ofPlus, I feel refreshed and ready to putRem

So I present below the lavishly chosen list of materials:

Greater Skeleton Bones

These bones are harder, glossier, whiter and tighter than the stuff from even a skeleton trooper unit chiefI don’t knohat sort of high level skeleton these are from, but they’re awesome

Bones of Different(?) Monsters

A selection of bones that Rando-san picked out forspecial from the them, on the off chance that they do manifest an effect

Basilisk Bones

Bones left over from the melted remains of the basilisk after the epic battle VSthem

Charred Goliath Meat

Sure, Tendo-kun beat this guy with one swing, but even Higuchi was afraid of it so I thought that it’s flesh, even if it’s well done, ht hold some hidden potentialI swiped some in a cloth before arped out of there

Scales of Salamander

This Salamander is probably the ly, its scales should becoredientI can’t think of a reason not to use theseFingers crossed for fire resistance!

Armorbear’s Armor

How come there’s always an ar worst enemy, but I’ll admit that this shell will make for the best defense

Knight Mantis Scythe

Rem used this very efficiently versus the BasiliskSince I have one, ht as well use it

Goar Skin

Mei-chan beat so was a bit difficult so we had only collected their coresTheir skin isn’t as tough as arI know that they’re at least tougher than pawn ant carapace

Bishop Bee’s Stinger

Another member of the [Chess Piece][Insect] family of monsters, one which I didn’t encounter in the insect caveIt’s probably going to be less effective than a ht sub weapon

Rook Spider’s Giant Claws

This thing was supposed to be the zone boss, I guessIts parts are ar tipI can’t say if it’ll beco out

Great Boar’s Hooves

Really big and heavy theseIf they go under Re attacks

White Velvety Fur

Another Rando-san recoon like Cashood furIt’s s on my handAs for what monster it’s from: no clue

Large Curved Horns

Another one of Rando-san’s top picksA big and very shi+ny pair of horns that wouldn’t look out of place as niche room decorMonster unknown

Pointy Fangs

Sharp and pointy fangs from a variety of monsters

Sharp Claws

Same as above, sharp and pointy claws from a variety of monsters

Those are all theora and finally, core fragments

Additionally, since Rando-san is a geo that as a baseThe idea is that ic earth will have round

And with all that done, it’s now, finally, tiet Rem back on the team

“Oh , that’s, soif she ot a lot of parts to use this tie to acco this s beside Tendo-kun have also been curiously glancing this way, though not going so far as to bother me

Tendo-kun hi to decide whether he should have another cigarette or notHe took one out of the box, only to put it back inside, and had been repeating the action with a grim expression

Alright, enough about the peanut gallery, let’s make some curses

“Rise from chaos, bind in foul blood, stand on stained earth ―― Vile Mud Doll”

Oof, it’s really sucking the o, I uess this is to be expected froh quality parts
