Chapter 117 - Shock and Circle (1/2)
”Alright, y'all have already met Azalea, my Bushinado”, I said as I placed my hunting knife onto the table, ”and my other partner is Rakka”. Rakka's and Azalea's drajules began to glow as they reacted with the spell circle on the table.
”A knife holster? How practical”, Albina said as she took her pipe from off the table and began to take a huff from it.
”I never heard of a Bushinado before, what affinity is she?”, Bori asked while staring at my hunting knife intently.
”Verdant, Wind and Fury”.
”Huh, neat. Which of those affinities was added by the primal drajule”?
”None? I made the drajule myself”.
”What”?!
The moment those words left my mouth, Bori looked like lightning struck him while Albina choked on her smoke.
”Is there an issue?”, I asked a little confused.
”Are you kidding me? Natural triple affinity majimonsters are incredibly hard to find in the Wildlands!”, Bori said excitedly.
”And they tended to be incredibly dangerous and large majimonsters as well”, Albina added as she coughed, ”the fact that you managed to find one without being a noble or another binder helping you out is astounding good luck”.
”Huh...what if I had two?”, I asked curiously.
”Then I'd call you a liar or that you had the luck of a demon, why?”, Albina asked as she stopped herself from taking another drag for her pipe. She began to gave me a wary look.
”Well...”, I began to trail off.
”Silvia. What kind of majimonster is Rakka?”, Bori asked.
”Does the name 'Ragnaceros' mean anything to you guys?”, I asked innocently.
”It's an extinct and extremely dangerous deer-like majimonster, why-”, but as the words left Bori mouth he suddenly stopped and began to stare at my knife with even bigger look of shock on his face. The next moment, he had duck under the table and I could feel his gaze at my feet.
”Bori, what are you doing”?
”He's probably checking if you have literal rabbit's feet”, Albina said as she began to huff her pipe.
”Why?”, Savina asked in my stead.
”Because the only people I know who are this lucky are from the kaiju Lagodrassil”, Bori said seriously.
