Chapter 18 – The Hero will help a bit 2

「Such wonderful clothes, is it really alright for me to wear them?」

With the streets of the Royal Capital dyed with the evening sun, Minnalis had changed fro, only had holes to fit one’s head and arht clothes froh Minnalis said they onderful, in truth, it was only slightly better than what people casually wear

So Minnalis meant that it was better than the slave clothes she had been wearing, not that she was incredibly happy because they onderful Incidentally, I had also changed into clothes suitable for a regular townsfolk

「It’s fine because you are beautiful In this country, we need to hide your ears and tail because grandly displaying those will only attract trash nobles and rando unpleasant, so I just spat out as on s”

Therefore, when trash nobles see “good things” next to commoners, they try to forcibly make them their own to show off their money and power There are also those who abused their oer to extortthe first run-through, I had disputes with low-lives like that ere only out to satisfy their own greed At that tireed yet was really good at saving his own neck

Returning to the conversation, said hoodlums rarely frequent the et involved with the nobles, that will be a probleht which would make us stand out is out of the question I prefer to be less conspicuous

Thanks to the forceful recovery from the potion, the pitiful bruises all over her body vanished Her black eye vanished as well Her cheeksthat unhealthy look, she was still on a level of considerable beauty

Even without the prejudice towards beastkin, if her being a slave was exposed, the possibility of being entangled with nobles was still quite high

「…… Beautiful? I a? Are there any adverse effects fro the potions to forcibly heal yourself?」

Suddenly, Minnalis stopped walking, and turned her face ahile tre, then spoke in a low voice

Since HP potions restore the body’s vitality, in the same vein, willpower is restored with MP potions So “stamina” is also recovered However, Minnalis’ weakened condition was not an abnoric or poison, it was instead due to being exposed to a harsh environ that can simply be removed with potions

To recover from this weakness, one needs to sleep well and eat nutritious food Otherwise, the weakness from this abnormal state will continue Incidentally, a beastkin with advanced physical abilities can recover from this weakened state in a mere three days

「Sorry, but please endure until we reach the item shop Even if an abnormal status potion is ineffective, it will become a little easier with a relief potion to reduce the effects We cannot relax until we leave town」

Even if I said to drink a potion, its effects were varied

For example, there are ones that recover HP and MP, ones that temporarily raises one’s status, ones that decrease one’s status instead, ones that nullify abnormal states for a fixed period of ti senses, and ones that have so the potions concerning abnorets the source and helps one recover fro to the 『Recovery system』, and those help weaken the effects of abnormal statuses Potions of the 『Relief system』 on the other hand, are more like first-aid

In her current state, potions from the relief system should be effective on Minnalis It is only a symptomatic treatment, but it should be able to take effect quite easily

Or so I was thinking, but Minnalis shook her head as if to say that she was all right

「No, h state where a potion is necessary Sure, I do feel a little heavy, but it seeoblins were treated as if I defeated them, so I leveled up With that, I should be fine within a day」

Saying that, Minnalis showed a thin smile But her expression was different, her delicate face reddened

Sure, so was definitely a little off, but it didn’t seem like she would accept the potion either way

This is bad, do I have to force her to drink one again? And while thinking that, I tried to match Minnalis’ pace as alked

While alking I orried about Minnalis as she seemed to be restless Certainly, only that much doesn’t seem to be a problem As usual, she showed a perfect sh her complexion hasn’t returned to normal, it doesn’t seem to hinder her very much

Because we can’t rest i toe’ll have to use a relief potion as expected, and while thinking that it was better to buy a little bit ht sorade HP potions, MP potions, every type of relief potion for status abnormality recovery, food and water to last us a few days, and a large as

「Here, a relief potion for your weakened status Drink it」

「N-no, I’ that expensive」

「… Just drink it Don’t give h, since Minnalis didn’t want to take the potion, I ordered as her master for the first time

I didn’t use the slave crest to co pain toI absolutely despised However, since it will be troubling if she resists, I narrowed my eyes a little, lowered my voice, and more or less coerced her in a serious manner

Now that Minnalis has becoe with me, she should not be afraid of such coercion that lacks even a fragment of hostility; I want to believe that what I asserted was sonity

「I am really sorry I will drink it」

Finally, Minnalis received the potion It’s notit

For the ti, I checked Minnalis’ status, and ritten on the weakened status has changed Its effects had decreased froain turned red, it see to our next destination will pose no issue

The next store ent to was a weapons and arht with the soul sword, but it was necessary to buy a weapon for Minnalis and armor for both of us

Due to the nature of a beastkin’s ical power, it’s probably best for Minnalis to specialize in close-range coht unarmed

Even without the beastkin’s status, the unique skill Minnalis had obtained, just by looking at its name, was obviously one that inflicts an abnormal condition Since that’s the case, it see-centric swords rather than striking-centric fists

「Minnalis, do you kno to use any weapons?」

Even though she didn’t obtain any other skills, I thought that therethat she had an affinity for a Unique Skill Though I said unar a talon too There are ht, so I want to choose an easy-to-use weapon for starters

「U one froe while escorting merchants… I’ you need to apologize for It’s fine because you can still learn In the first place, I didn’t buy you because you are already strong It was enough that you satisfied the requirements that I wanted from an accomplice」

With that, they reached the Weapons and Armor shop

The store, which was close to the border between the main streets and the slums, had a motley—read as ratty—but still warn out front that was carved from ith “Rishall Weapons and Armor” written on it

「H soon You won’t have much time to look around, so how about to after the shop at the storefront

Certainly, night was approaching with the sun starting to set Stores still open were starting to turn on their lights

「No, we have already decided on ant We won’t be long since we’re not after anything special, and we need it before the day is over」

「If that’s the case… Old man!! There are some customers!!」

Minnalis curiously looked around the shop while the boy who had been instructed to close loudly called for the store owner

「Haaa!? Send them away! Whether they eapons or ar, ouldn’t be able to eat our dinner!」

「Seems that they already decided on what to buy!!」

「Then shouldn’t you just sell it!? Once you’re done, hurry up and close the store!!」

The old store owner see at the back of the shop The boy that had been yelling turned around and came to ask us

「Then, what did you want?」

「Two sets of arinner adventurers, four sets of repair tools, and also regular longswords and sheaths And please pick out ten appropriate ones」

「That h lanced at me in doubt To afford e had just requested, we needed e silver coins) It’s obvious that he doubted us since we currently looked like coer rising within her, so in order to hold it down, I decided to speak up first

「Don’t worry, here」

As I said that, I took out one gold coin fro it, the boy was then stared in shock and apologized
