30 # 29 Production Jobs and Legions.txt (1/2)

I eat my lunch and log back into the game. After repairing Lily and Aeon's weapons with my alchemy skills and struggling with a pile of boa meat in the galley below, with a little time to spare, I head to Crowe's shop.

''You're here. I'm impressed that you're a little earlier than time.

'Huh? Is Mr. Crowe here yet?

The meeting place was filled with all the female production workers except for Mr. Crowe.

'He's a man on the edge of time, so it's going to take him a little longer to get here... even though I'd like to head over there as soon as possible at all.

'Time is limited, you know. But if I had time, it was just fine. I want you to see something.

When I said that, the eyes of the members of the production staff lit up. On behalf of them, Miu Miu asks.

''New material!''

I don't know if I can.

I take out spider silk, carapiller thread, and a bee stinger.

'Thread, yes. Unfortunately, it's not new material. Someone brought it in yesterday and today.

Oh? 'Too bad... but Hugues takes the bee stinger in his hand.

'But I've never seen these bee stingers before. It looks like it could be used for a bow and arrow, maybe even a poisonous weapon.

I suppose. I'm sure you'll be able to find a way to make it work even better with a bow and arrow. Did you get this material from the Wakamiki Forest as well?

'Yes. It fell off when I killed a bee monster named Bee.

I say this and Yuna says it with a dark look on her face.

'I don't like bees,'

Not many of us are good at it, I'm afraid.

Hal encourages. Well, I don't like it either. Getting stabbed is too much fun. But, you know...

I know you drop the honey too. That guy.

Yuna and Hal's gloomy feelings are blown away by my words.

That's right. The existence of sweet things in the current situation is a big deal from the girls.

''Can I ask you to teach me a few things before we go to the forest?''

Okay.

I give him information about the monsters that appear and their drops. Then Lewin-san speaks up with a question.

'How do they get information on the monsters we haven't seen yet?'

I found a book like that in the library.

I didn't know we had a library in this town.

It said on the board. The story. He couldn't read, so he had to take his reading skills. It said it was a f*cking spec.

Aryama. Did you not know about the skill scroll by any chance?

'You'll get a skill scroll for your reading skills at the counter,'

People are surprised when I say that. Then Mr. Lewin mutters.

'I guess that guy was a piece of shit for not checking the counter.

'It's funny to see you bragging about consuming precious skill points.

It would certainly look that way, wouldn't it? And with the exception of Luin-san, the other three are new to Aeon.

'Come to think of it, we haven't introduced ourselves to Aeon yet. 'Aeon.'

Aeon. Nice to meet you.

Yeah, yeah. Good for you. Good for you.
