Chapter 118: Hey, Just Do It Already!
Chapter 118: Hey, Just Do It Already!
Hello, this is Ren. Currently, I was too frustrated that I wanted to bite a handkerchief.
I defeated the giant, but I ran away to avoid everyones attention. Then I took out my house in the previous spot and sulked in bed.
I should filch the magic stone Damn it.
However, I collected all the corpses of the small fries I defeated, so I had a decent quality of magic stones, furs, meats, and many more. Lets give up on the giants magic stone. Ill put up with it. How disappointing.
When I was feeling down, it turns out Norn collected the corpse of White Fang, the middle boss!
Although the quality was lower than that of Frost Giant, I got the whole first-grade material. What good news! I couldnt stop myself from jumping for joy! But I was immediately out of breath.
I thought about this when I went to the battlefield yesterday, but I had to do something about this lack of physical strength and chronic lack of exercise. Or else it would be late once I needed it.
But Ill do it once it gets warmer, okay? I couldnt do any exercise outside in this cold weather! Its okay, Ill definitely do something in early spring. Believe in me.
Anyway, its already one night after my first actual battle, and I was already bored of sulking on my bed. Lets eat something! To celebrate it, Ill make curry! Lets fry tonkatsu to make katsu curry.
Norn and Bell, do you want to eat it too? You want a large serving? Got it, eat a lot, yeah? You can also ask for another serving!
I want to eat pudding for dessert By the way, both of them were standard dishes in reincarnation stories, right?
Hmm, I didnt want to make an uproar, so I should think about the timing if I want to eat it outside.
After the meal, I changed the location of my house. I did a lot of flashy things, so I did this just in case
And then, time to reflect on what happened yesterday. One person reflection meeting. Im not lonely! Im doing things solo!
Uh, but since I was a tamer, I wasnt exactly alone? Lets not think too much about it, Im getting sad
First, lets calm down and look at the problematic part during yesterdays battle. I had to steady my safety more.
In the first place, I could only attack at a long distance, and I was useless at close combat. Going to the front line to get hit by such a large monster would immediately kill me. Lets think about how to defend myself.
That means, I should raise the level of [Barrier Magic]. As the level went up, not only the strength of the physical defense, but the things that I could repel would increase. This was important.
However, I felt like riding on Norn while having mobile combat was effective. Avoiding was important!
After that, lets increase my means of attack.
I couldnt use offensive magic because I wasnt suited for it, and heavy bombing with a magic swords [Final Strike] was too overkill. In the first place, I would stand out too much.
Hmm I know. Lets increase the number of magic swords with [Weapon Skill].
I could substitute offensive magic with [Weapon Skill]. That being said, it would be difficult without the appropriate materials. I realized that when I was making Blazer. So first, I should collect the materials.
It wouldnt be too different from what I had done so far.
Since I originally wasnt that good at fighting, so lets not fight.
Yes, thats pretty much it. In the first place, my skill composition was mostly producing items, and I could only do long-range attacks using my combat skills.
However, I couldnt avoid that battle, so I had to make sure something like this wouldnt happen again from now on. Yep.
In conclusion, I decided that I would raise [Barrier Magic] level for the time being. I didnt think I would fight another giant anytime soon, but I really didnt want to be crushed and die.
The next day.
I wanted to go back to the royal capital quickly, but I couldnt do it unless I joined Trielas team. The towns situation hadnt settled yet, so they probably wouldnt come here in a couple of days. Should I do something to kill time?
For now, I could try to devise a magic sword design
If I wanted high firepower, I had Burst Dagger with me, so lets think of something else. If I wanted to have an effective means against a big opponent like that giant, then I should stop their movement, right?
I surely broke its leg to make it easier to aim at its key point, the head. I was lucky that it couldnt move after I crushed its leg.
Then, how to restrain it so I could easily aim? Make it fall down Tie it up and sew it on the ground? Hmm, entwining ivy or something like that over its body and restrain it on the ground? Ah Which attribute would be the best if I wanted to do that?
If it was flexible, the monster might tear it off. If it was too solid, the monster might crush it with brute force. Hmm, it should multiply so it wouldnt matter if the monster resisted Then ice vines? Oh, that sounds interesting.
Now that I came up with an idea, lets make the prototype!
I had White Fangs magic stone with an ice attribute, so lets use that for now. However, using everything was wasteful, so Ill just attach it to the handle of the sword. I used a suitable magic sword as the base and reduced the existing attribute on the sword. And I did the rest without thinking much about it.
Yeah, its done. Even I knew that I was crazy fast. That being said, I already had the base sword, and I was lucky to have a reasonably high quality magic stone this time. Thanks to that, I managed to bestow [Weapon Skill] in one try.
The skill I bestowed this time was [Ice Bind], the ability to create ice ivy within a specified range and restrain the enemy. Even if the ivy was destroyed, it would keep regenerating, and the target could be locked on. It was easy to use since it didnt use much MP. This might be handy when I had to escape from a battle.
Other than that, I tried to bestow other things such as ice attribute and durability enhancement at a slightly higher level than Blazer.
Oh, what should I do with its name? Hmm Ivy restraint, bind, ice? Ivy, vine Combined with the skill name, how about Ice Vine? I felt like there was a dish or a wine with that name Hmm; I didnt like it Ice, cold, white? Hmm.
Lets put the name on hold. Its too troublesome and I could just leave it unsigned But it would trouble me if someone asked about it Hm? But just saying that it was unsigned should be fine, right?
The next day.
As I was fed up with my lack of naming sense as usual, Triela, Kuro, and Maricle came early in the morning.
They got lost again because I changed the location of my house. Naturally, I had Norn pick them up again.
Ren How deep are you hiding Ren, its hard to find your house.
It couldnt be helped! You cant blame me, Im not wrong!
Whats happening in the town?
From what Triela and the others told me, the town was still noisy. Just as I expected.
And most of the members of the subjugation team and knights would remain in the town until the end of the winter and work hard to exterminate the remaining demons.
The adventurers who took part in the defense battle got a share of the materials as a reward, even if they were low rank or under thirteen years old. The amount was ridiculous, so it delighted everyone who returned to the orphanage.
Everyone donated some money from that reward to the orphanage. How could I say this um. When I told them, I would give them something as well later, they scolded me, telling me I already did too much. If I gave more things, they would become suspicious. Oh well.
And besides the information, Triela brought me a reward for the subjugation. But what she gave me was truly unexpected
It was the magic stone of the giant I had defeated.
Eh, seriously?
Turns out when they were walking around the town at noon yesterday, a tall handsome adventurer called them and asked them to give this to me.
When they asked, that handsome adventurer was Vector. He negotiated with the subjugation team and the knights to give this as my share and seized the magic stone.
Vector said he heard Triela and the girls brought me to the town, so he wanted them to give this to me He also wanted them to convey, Thanks for your help. I owe you one. No, its scary, so just forget it. But Ill take the magic stone.
Alright, lets pretend I understood nothing the next time I met him. Im sure he already knew it was me, but I shouldnt admit it.
After talking about other things and having lunch, Trilra and the others returned to the town. We promised to meet up the day after tomorrow and return to the royal capital, so well meet at that time.
Now then, what should I do if I meet Vector The knights who took part in the subjugation would return to the royal capital around spring. Would he return with them? Or return early like me? No, no. He was one of the strongest in the subjugation team, so he would stay, right?
But I unexpectedly received the giants magic stone. How should I use it? Hmm, I gave up on this once, so lets use it to improve the magic sword I mentioned earlier. Yeah, lets do that.
Its wasteful? Its fine! I should use it all at once at times like this! Time to remodel the sword!
And its completed.
I also improved the spare into a two-handed large sword. This magic sword came with two [Weapon Skill]! What a bargain!
The new skill was [Ice Giant]. As the name suggested, it was a skill to create ice golems. Its MP consumption was high. Thats why I attached one of the same magic batteries as Blazer.
And maybe because I was using the giants magic stone, the sword also had [Giant Special Attack].
Hmm, the sword had turned into something crazy But theres no use thinking about it too much. Ill use it with no reservation! I wouldnt have it on my waist all the time, so its fine! No need to care about the details!
Oh, by the way, the name troubled me, right? Hmm, well Giant, Ice Giant Frost Giant? The country where the Norse mythological frost giant lived was Jtunheimr, yeah? Jtun means frost giant
Then, the sword that created frost giants and ice ivy Jozhnwein1?
Even though this was a powerful magic sword, I gave it a terrible name
That night, I went into despair at my naming sense as usual, then I sulked on the bed again. I wanted to come up with a more decent name
Hmm, maybe its not good because I tried to make it complex? How about making it more simple? I felt like it would still end up becoming overly complicated, though.
I couldnt trust my naming sense the most.
The next day, I felt tired being depressed, so I worked hard all day to distract myself. Triela and the team promised not to come until tomorrow noon, and today I was free for the entire day! Its been a while since I could work to my hearts content! Hahaha!
The next day, I got tired because I worked too hard, and I fell asleep until Triela and the others came. I went to get ready in a panic, but theres no need to talk about that.
