7 # 6 First battle and the power of Lily.txt (1/2)

When I went out of the town, it was a grassy field. It is called ”The Beginnings Meadow”. It's a name I've often heard.

'A walk with the tact.

Lily walks in front of me in a good mood, happy about what she's doing. But the pleasant walk didn't last long.

A blue boar comes out of the grass. It looks like this guy is a boa.

As I was thinking this, the boar suddenly started running towards me. It seemed to be planning to charge at me.

It would be foolish to fight in front of the boar's rush. I thought it would be better to duck and attack the flank, but something unexpected happened.

”Tact, look out!

Lily moved to the front to protect me. I mean, you're the one in danger!

Yah!

Doggone it!

What about ......?

I'd be a bit of an eye-roller right now. If you want to explain what happened right in front of me, Lily punched a rushing boa, and the boa went flying and hit a rock: ....... What the hell.

'Yippee!'

That's probably true ....... Normally, if we punched a rushing boar head-on, we'd be the one who'd get blown up. Even if you succeed in doing so, you won't escape injury.

Tact~

Lily came over to me with tears in her eyes. Lily's vitality was definitely diminished. Just a little bit, but ....... Normally I wouldn't use HP recovery items for less damage, but ...... Lily's teary eyes and my defense was as good as paper.

''Thank you. I'm not going to be the only one. It helped.

'Eh ....... Ehehe~

When I pat his head and praise him, he squints at me happily. When I look at it this way, I think again. Every single gesture is the same as a human being.

”Did it hurt?　Let's get better.

Yeah!

I take out the HP potion. Apparently I can recover if I drink it. When Lily drinks the HP potion, her HP recovers, but there's a problem. Lily has a face like she's bitten down on a bitter bug.

''Nigga~!

Apparently, HP potions are bad. It's blue in color and looks like blue Hawaii. ...... It was a close call. If Lily hadn't protected me, the HP Potion penalty would have been confirmed.

Do I have to drink this every time I get tact ...... injured?

Um, maybe I will?

Oh, my God.

Apparently, it's pretty bad. I'd like to do something about it, but I'll have to go to .......

I'm sure there's some early magic that can be used to recover.

Really?

Oh, yeah. That's what light magic is for, isn't it?

......

Lily looks at me with silent, sparkling eyes. I'm going to get it, right?　And I'm looking forward to it. But be cautious here: .......

''I've acquired light magic.''

Light magic [Heal] and [Light] have been acquired.

The info flows unceremoniously. Lily's expectant eye-gaze attack was defeated and she got the light magic. No, I don't think there are many men who can beat that one. This left me with 18 pts of skill points left.

Well, I realized how high Lily's attack power was, and if I play the role of a healer, I'll be able to fight with a little more confidence.

''Tact, I love it!

Lily hugs me. I'm a man, too. I'm glad I'm here, but it was Lily who forced me to use light magic.

'Well, uh ...... we need to dismantle that boar and take the item.

I walk up to the boa, holding Lily in my arms, and put her down. Then I take out my demolition knife and stick it into the boa and the corpse disappears and the dropped items automatically go into my inventory.

By the way, the inventory is a place where the acquired items go. In addition to items, weapons and armor can also be placed in your inventory. In this game, the number of items that can be placed in your inventory is fixed, with the upper limit being 100. It's a number I'm pretty worried about whether it's enough.

I was relieved to see that the bore was dismantled. I was afraid I'd have to dismantle the bore into pieces, but I guess gross is out in an all-ages game. Well, you can do that in a lot of settings. Apparently, if you're younger, you can't do hard settings. Well, it's hard to actually do a gory scene and get used to it.

When I appraised it, the item was displayed. Here it is.

Boa's Horn: Rare Level 1 Material Quality F-

An item taken from the horns of the boa. Used for weapons.

Boa meat: Rare Level 1 Food Quality F-.

Meat from the boa. It has a strong odor and is difficult to cook.

'Boa meat on a boa horn?'

Hoho, wild boar meat. ....... Is that a challenge to me from my part-time job at a teppanyaki restaurant?

'But I don't have any cooking utensils, seasoning or fire to cook with!

I might need skills to cook in the first place, and I don't think it's possible at this point~.

'For now, I've got the items, so let's take out a bunch of boas from now on. I'm relying on you. Lilly.
