VENDM 021: ABDUCTORS

Abductors

With the guys breathing hard while they continue to beat me, I check my Status

If Defense could be raised, then there’s the possibility that other abilities can be raised First is, Endurance

《Would you like to spend 1000 Points to increase Endurance by 10?》

So Endurance can be raised But the ratio of consumed Points to increase is low, na If Endurance increases by at least 100 then I’d raise it without hesitation, though I wonder how the others are

《Would you like to spend 1000 Points to increase Strength by 10?》

《Would you like to spend 1000 Points to increase Agility by 10?》

《Would you like to spend 1000 Points to increase Dexterity by 10?》

You ility, and Dexterity are stats that vending machines don’t need, so I don’t have any plans to raise theh, na?

Justht be able to walk If it’s possible, it would be pretty ah

No o up It looks like I can’t be the explosivemachine Too bad

“You guys, about that h”

“’kay”

A, it ended Since my Endurance had reduced by about 30 before I increased Defense, I look pretty terrible

“Oi, this guy ain’t repairing zo”

“Th,that can’t be He definitely fixed hiht before my eyes! O, oi, you bastard, hurry up and heal those wounds!”

Nope I’ to be out-of-order like this I don’t even feel a bit like providing these guys with drinks … A, no, I changed ive them some drinks

“Gugoil, if this is broken, you knoill happen, na”

“R,right-! O,oi, you box bastard, hurry up and heal those wounds! I bet you’re just pretending not to be able to ht?”

Oh, he’s panicking, he’s panicking Maa, I’ the wounds as is, but I’ll send out a drink so calm down

“B,boss! A product ca down! S,see, it’s not broken!”

Enough for everyone, those guys gleefully gather the fallen beverages Be grateful to my kindness dazo

“Maa, I guess it’s fine For now, give me one, I don’t care what”

The drinks were distributed to all uys who had worked up a sweat assaulting ed it all at once

“Buuuuuuuu-!”

“Hack, cough, hat the!?”

“shi+t, are you freaking serious!”

How’d you like the taste of my careful selection of the worst 10 juices? Whenever a vending o buy it without hesitation; if there were great hits that I got, of course there was also great misses too

It e has no sense of taste, that beverages so unbelievably bad would be good enough to sell On the light side, they ood withall the strong-ss with carbonation … both of these have to be from the same manufacturer, I bet

There are quite a few other ones that deviate from the nore manufacturer industry

“This guy, are you sure he isn’t broken?”

“Maa, whatever I’ll figure out what to do e get back to the hideout If by chance he’s cooil Don’t think we’ll let you off with an apology”

“Y, yessir”

With the Boss threatening him, his face is pale and it’s like he’ll collapse any minute I don’t have a bit of syh In the first place, it’s because of this guy giving them this idea that it’s turned out like this

If I keep this up they’ll think I really did break, and because of that they’ll treat e one has been coed for the better

When we reach the hideout, I wonder what I should do there When it couess I can’t do anything else but wing it If it gets really bad, I’ll resist with Barrier

Froht, we reached our destination in about two hours

We proceeded through the forest on an aniravel path; in this place with an abundance of nature, an unnatural structure was there It was a huge hole in a wall; e reached it, it turned out to be a rusting fortress on the brink of collapsing Compared to the Hunter association it’s on a sinally quite the sturdy fort

Looks like quite a few years have passed since it was abandoned; it looks like a fun spot if you want to explore ruined buildings, with ivy entangled everywhere
