Reset: DPS to Support?!

Chapter 89: Provisions (2)

"...huh?" Ethaniel raised his brow in confusion as he saw that Shinto took out a sword from his inventory. "What's that?"

"Take it for now," Shinto said as he handed the sword over to him.

"...hah?" Ethaniel furrowed his brow as he took a closer look at the sword. From the blade's tip to its handle, it was coloured a dark shade of purple mixed together with silver lines around it. The handle was black and the atmosphere around the weapon seemed to protrude a dark aura. "What the heck is this?"

"It's a sword," Shinto stated.

"Yes, I clearly know that," he glared at Shinto. "What I mean is, why did you give me this?"

"Well, I just thought it might come in handy in the future for us," he shrugged. "So I gave it to you."

"..." Taking another look at the sword, Ethaniel opened up the weapon detail of it. "...hah. What are you crazy? Asking me to use this with such requirements? I don't even have that much strength."

"...cough, I'm not asking you to use it, Ethan," Shinto let out a cough. "I'm asking you to keep it in your inventory since we might need it in the future."

"For what reason do we need a sword like this?" he questioned. "This is a glass cannon sword. You know that, right?"

"I got this as a drop from the dungeon," Shinto said. "I'm not asking you to use it. Though... it might be worthwhile to test it out, but for now, hold onto it."

"Tsk, say that sooner!" Ethaniel clicked his tongue. "I thought you were someone crazy that had stupidly high expectations on my stats," he said as he placed the sword into his inventory.

"Aha... right, my bad," he scratched his head. "Ahem, anyway, regarding the dungeon that you went to... did you get any sort of drops?"

"...drops?" he blinked at the mention of it. "If you're talking about something like the sword that you gave me, no."

"Then, any miscellaneous items?" Shinto asked.

"I got nothing," Ethaniel said. "The only worthwhile mention is something you already know."

"Huh. So you didn't get anything else besides that," Shinto mumbled out. "That's weird..."

"Why? What else did you get besides this sword and that?" he raised his brow.

"Hmm... well, nothing useful at the moment," Shinto shrugged. "Some items I got that requires me to collect multiple pieces of it in order to find out what it actually does."

"Tch... sounds tedious."

"Yeah," he sighed. "Anyhow, we'll worry about that later."

Soon after, Shinto turned to glance at Frey and Raina who were still conversing with Mia at the front counter of the bank. It seemed as Frey was still opening up her storage system.

"...are those two done yet?" Seeing the scene in front of him, he asked.

"Those two?" Ethaniel turned to the counter where the girls were at. Seeing that they were still idling around, he clicked his tongue. "Ugh... they are still at it? How long does setting up a damn storage take?"

"Not that long," Shinto stated. "Though I'm not sure how long has it been since the two began setting up their storage."

"Might as well just ask them," Ethaniel said.

...

While Shinto and Ethaniel chatted with one another, by the counter of the bank, Frey was still trying to get her storage system activated.

"...so uh, like this?" Frey blinked at the instructions given to her by Mia whilst her right arm protruded out, touching a pad on the counter. From the looks of the pad, it seemed as if it was to scan one's hand.

"Yep~ Like this!" Mia nodded her head. "By scanning your hand onto this, you'll then be added onto the storage database, which in term means you'll be able to open up the system!"

"...but what was that about adding a power onto this or something that Raina did?" Frey raised her brow.

"Hmm?" Mia tilted her head at the question. "Ah, do you mean the aura infusing step? We'll get right there in just a minute!"

"Man... why is this so complicated?!" Frey shouted out.

"Aha... Frey, it's actually simple. Just calm down and follow the steps," Raina smiled.

"Easy for you to say... you made it all look so... easy!"

As the two conversed with one another, they suddenly heard a shout coming from behind them.

"Hey! You two! Are you done yet or what?" The shout was from a familiar voice Ethaniel.

"Huh?" While her hand was still on the pad, Frey abruptly looked behind. "Ah! Master Shinto! When did you get out of the storage?"

"Just a while ago," Shinto replied. "Are you still not done yet?"

"I'm almost done! I just need to... uh, do this power infusing step and it'll be completed!" Frey said.

"Tch, why the hell is it taking so long?" Ethaniel glared at Frey.

"Dear adventurers, the time it takes to set up a storage is dependant on different people," Mia calmly smiled at Shinto and Ethaniel. "Please do not rush them, unless you want it to be longer than it is due to a mess up!" Quickly she turned back to Frey. "Ahem, now where was I?"

"Gee... this is a pain," Ethaniel folded his arms. "The hell is up with her?"

"Sigh, why is the tone so different to us than to them?" Shinto helplessly shook his head.

"Haha, well, I don't know, I guess it's dependant on the person to person or something?" Raina chuckled as she turned to the two. "Anyhow~ Should we just discuss what to do now while we wait for Frey? You never really did tell us what we'll do moving forward."

"...right. I was hoping to tell you while on the way there but since we're waiting around right now, I guess it's better to tell you two now," he said. "The first thing we're headed to is a dungeon which Frey found."

"A dungeon? Where?" Ethaniel asked.

"I don't exactly know where it is... but, from what Frey told me, it's an underground area of town," Shinto said. "Frey will lead us there."

"An underground area of town?" Raina tilted her head. "A catacombs?"

"Possibly. Frey didn't give me any names though," he shrugged.

"Hah? There's a catacomb beneath the town?" Ethaniel questioned.

"I never knew that too... this is a first for me," Shinto answered. "She said she got an S-ranked quest that gained her access to the area."

"..." Ethaniel opened his mouth speechless as he soon closed it. Then, he shook his head of the shock as he furrowed his brow. "You got to be kidding me. Is this for real?"

"As real as it can get..." he sighed. "She even showed me the key as proof."

"Why? What's wrong you two?" Raina asked.

"...it's nothing," Ethaniel let out a cough. The moment he did so, he heard a voice from the side of him.

"Done! The storage is now up and ready!" Frey cheered.
