54 Episode 54 "Before the Quest, I chose new equipment for my friends (Part 1)".txt (1/2)

It was a good opportunity, so I decided to get my equipment in order before the quest.

I just need to get Raphilia's bow and arrows for weapons, so I focused on armor.

We also need to buy some medicinal herbs and poisonous herbs.

Then let's go out shopping together──When I was getting ready to go out shopping with everyone──, Leticia returned.

She was supposed to be leaving for Metecal soon with a caravan of merchants, and she had a few baggage handlers (porters) with her.

I know a merchant. I have a piece of off-the-rack armor in my possession. He says that right now, you can get a big discount!

With that, she began to arrange a large amount of stuff in the living room of the house.

'Well, are you going to the dungeon tomorrow?　It was just perfect.

Letitia was in a good mood and told us what was going on.

Apparently, a merchant she knows is training technicians to make weapons and armor, and he's looking for someone to buy a prototype made by a newbie (a genius, in a sense).

The rookie made too much use of his talent, and because of that, he's having trouble selling it.

Right now you can get a discount of 3, 5, or even 7 off of the market price at ......, but I'm very suspicious at this point.

It was also in the original world. The company that installed a special application in order to reduce the cost. Sometimes a mysterious window opens and a mysterious foreign language or a mysterious phone number is displayed in a mysterious specification, and the employee calls the number, which is a mysterious application.

It's easy to get a special item because there's a reason for it.

I think it's better to buy the legitimate ones at the armor store here.

'That's Nagi, sir!　I think so too.

I couldn't agree more. We can't just pick and choose.

I think Aine should have her eyes checked by Naya-kun.

That's why I'm going to ask the master to make sure that our choices are correct!

Translation: for now, I'll just pick out a random one, so please check if it's usable, master.

That's what I'm going to do.

...... Well, okay.

No matter how much of a genius engineer's work it is, it's not too weird.

That's why I decided to go upstairs to plan my dungeon attack strategy while everyone else was choosing their armor.

When I returned to my room, I grabbed a quill pen and wrote the concept of the skill on a piece of parchment.

What I was thinking about was a plan to strengthen Raphilia, who had few cheat skills.

I have 'Watering LV1', one of the housekeeping skills I got from Iris, in hand.

A skill that 'sprinkles' water with 'Jouro'

Originally, it was a skill to sow water so as not to damage the flowers in the flower beds. It was said that some rare flowers are found in the flower beds of the nobility, so accurate skills are required for watering them as well.

So, if you intertwine this with 'archery' ...... yeah, it looks good.

I'm going to be able to buy the original ”archery” to increase my accuracy, so I'm going to go buy the skills later on and...

This, this and that.

Master, may I come in?

Raphilia's voice came out.

'I've chosen my armor and I need you to check with your master.

Yeah. Okay. Come on in.

tapping and tapping

Rafilia enters the room, smashing her armor (yoroi) against the pillars and walls.

Pecking away, katakotsukutsukaku

It was the opposite of quietness and secrecy.

It's a leather armor that covers from the shoulders to the waist (leather armor), but...

What do you think, Master?

...... 'Leather Armor', right?

Yes. The product is called the Armor of the Avenger, the Armor of the Avenger!

Raphilia wore armor that was pieced together with leather-lined armor.

It was red in color. It goes well with Rafilia's pink hair.

The construction also looks sturdy. The chest, stomach and waist are independent, so it doesn't interfere with movement, and Rafilia's large breasts are well contained.

Defense seems to be in good shape. It doesn't look like it's not .......

Why does ...... have spikes all over its body?

On his chest, on his shoulders, and on his torso.

There are spikes that look like they're about ten centimeters long and stretch outward.

'Yes, Master!　That's the advantage of this armor!

Maybe this is one of my strengths.

'This is a blade used to skewer an attacking enemy!

The Armor of the Avenger, The Mail of Avenger

Leather armor with spikes all over the body.

It has a threatening effect. It has a positive modifier for close combat.

The noise effect makes it easier for enemies to see you.

Be careful when wearing it.'

If an enemy carelessly approaches me, I can damage them with a single blow!　It's truly the perfect armor for offense and defense!

That's perfect chunky armor.

I see.

So you didn't cure Rafilia's neuromuscular disease even after rewriting her unlucky skill?

”Rafilia.

Yes, Master.

Try a little bow pose.

Oh, yes. ”Bite.

compose a poem

Spikes dug into Raphilia's wrists and elbows.

Yeah. That's what happens. And when I draw the bow, I pull my arms to my torso with my sides.

''Ha, ah, ah. Huh.

No, you don't have to hold on to that pose.

Hey, hey, hey, that's nothing to be afraid of. If you can stand it, you can draw a bow.

But the bowstring snaps, doesn't it? With spikes.

...... Whoa.

Raphilia seems impressed and makes a bowing gesture, popping the bow with a ping pong.

'Besides, Raphilia's job this time is to escort Iris, right?　If you try to defend Iris with that armor, I'll skewer you. ......

Oh, oh, oh, oh!

Raphilia held her head in her hands.

''No, but I'm not very lucky, so sometimes I'm caught by surprise. I thought we should be prepared for that eventuality!

Didn't I rewrite your bad luck skills?

............ it was!

You forgot about it!

But ...... I see.

If you think about it, Raphilia has been haunted by bad luck ever since she woke up, so it's no wonder she's so cautious. To be frank, I don't trust my previous companions, and if I ended up fighting on my own ...... repeatedly like that, I'd usually be a wary mass.

I'm sure this spiky armor is the product of ...... the middle-aged man's disease.

I was. I was the new me.

With a tap, Rafilia taps her head with her fist.

'I have a master and all of you now, don't I?

Yeah. So they don't need all that cool armor.

It's pretty cool, though.

'Though there's something romantic about hitting an attacking enemy with your body and skewering them with armor spikes.

It's not practical: ......

It's cool, though.

It's pretty cool, though.

”By the way, Rafilia.

Yes, Master.

Don't you have any men's armor for that?
