Chapter 300: Continuous Arena (1)
"Please read."
"What is this?"
Flora and Asil looked at the paper the weasel held out and asked a question.
"Bloodbane\'s Thorn, Black Coin, Yoren\'s Hide... "
"I think I heard that somewhere?"
The weasel spoke to the two who were feeling a sense of déjà vu while reading the contents.
"These are the ingredients we need to gather."
"Ingredient? What do I do with this?"
"That... It\'s hard to tell right now. "I will only tell you that these are the materials needed to rescue Justitia."
"Okay? Okay."
Asil accepted it and did not question the weasel.
Even if I questioned him, I didn\'t think he would tell me more, and I wasn\'t curious enough to need to know.
Flora said worriedly as she continued reading her list.
"Sister, but isn\'t this too much? Will I be able to prepare on time?"
"Ah. It\'s okay. That\'s a whole list of things to prepare... "
The weasel took the list and drew lines.
After a while, Flora returned her list, which had been reduced by about half.
"That\'s about it, excluding the ingredients I\'ve already prepared."
"Oh, this will be enough for the three of us to share!"
"That\'s right. So, I\'m asking you this. Can I ask which of the two of you is stronger?"
"Who is stronger? ?"
Flora and Asil\'s gaze crossed.
Who is stronger?
It was a difficult question.
You know that when two people spar with each other, they win.
Because Asil has a morale ability that nullifies 100% of damage by attribute.
In fact, it was like a wizard\'s counter.
However, when considering simple firepower, Flora was much higher.
Whether it\'s a range attack or a single attack. After the battle was over, it was often Flora who played the most active role.
In other words, the fields they were in charge of were too different to compare.
So the two just looked at each other.
The one who turned his attention first was Asil.
It\'s been over half a year since I became a pretty girl and knew Flora, but still, somehow, I felt burdened when I looked into her eyes from such a close distance.
Asil turned her head from Flora and told the weasel exactly what she thought.
"Hmm. Okay. They say they have different areas of confidence... "
The weasel was troubled for a moment after hearing Asil\'s story.
The difficulty level of the ingredients you need to obtain, how to obtain them, even the personalities of Asil and Flora...
The result of various considerations.
"Then it would be better to do it this way."
The weasel made a new list and distributed it to Flora and Asil.
The list they both received contained different ingredients.
"We have allocated ingredients that are easy to find for each of you."
The list also roughly outlined where to get the ingredients.
They also said that if a more detailed explanation is needed, they will explain it.
As I read each one, it was clear that I didn\'t think, \'Is this worth it?\'
So the two started going around looking for ingredients.
◆
Asil was mainly assigned materials that could be obtained within Peden.
This was because he could escape alone in case of an emergency.
Shouldn\'t Flora be returned to the inner city then? The materials obtained outside the city are mainly materials that must be obtained by hunting monsters.
Is not it? Are people more dangerous than monsters that can just be defeated?
Asil tilted her head but followed the weasel\'s instructions and went looking for ingredients.
"Devil Arachne\'s Thread? That\'s a bit expensive."
Some materials could be obtained simply by having money.
"Ah. We\'re out of that material now. Instead, I know where to get it. How about it? If you were confident in obtaining it yourself, would you at least buy this information?"
For some materials, you had to personally defeat monsters and collect them.
Still, like in the games Asil knows, you don\'t have to catch a good monster and only give him a few fragments of material, so this wasn\'t that difficult either.
"If that\'s the case, I definitely have it. But I can\'t just ignore it... "Would you please do me a favor?"
The most difficult cases were those where something was asked for in return for handing over ingredients.
In a way, it was the case that best suited the game world of WM.
To solve a big problem, you obtain the necessary information or items through small quests.
Isn\'t this truly a royal RPG development?
However, it can be enjoyed because it is a game, and for Asil, who had to actually move his body to play it, it was extremely annoying.
In addition, because people thought it was a crime city, few requests were made properly.
– Please cause trouble in the hostile gang area.
– Are you pretty? Would you like to promote it in front of our store? Huh? What kind of store is this? Just an ordinary window... Wait, where are you going?!
– I\'ll give it to you if you do it once with your mouth, chest, and pussy.
Even though they were wearing hoods, it was difficult to hide their gender while talking face to face.
Moreover, there are even people who say that they look pretty even though they only show around their chin because of the hood.
For your information, I stole the last guy by hitting him in the back.
After I come to my senses, I might open my eyes and look for Asil, but who cares? It was a city I would leave in less than a week anyway.
We were in the process of reducing the list of necessary ingredients one by one.
"The molars of a snow tiger?"
Asil\'s eyes turned to the next ingredient on the list.
○○\'S molars, claws, leather, etc. It was a material that could be collected from a specific monster.
However, the reason Asil muttered in confusion was because of the information written about how to acquire this material.
Reward for 7 consecutive wins in Vikta Arena. The opponent changes every time, so you can\'t be sure of victory, so if it seems difficult, we recommend robbing.
"You\'re recommending robbery..." "
Asil was dumbfounded.
You\'re telling me to steal out loud.
Among the materials collected so far, there were some that ended up being robbed, but that was only Plan B, and there was no case where robbing was encouraged from the beginning.
Still, it didn\'t mean I couldn\'t understand it.
Because weasels are loyal subjects to the Vale Kingdom. Minor moral issues were no problem given the goal of rescuing Princess Justitia.
But that\'s a weasel. It wasn\'t Asil.
Asil, who prides himself on being a member of a civilized society, decided to try the Jeonggong method first before transferring ownership of materials without consent, following Weasel\'s recommendation.
Do you know? Will Asil really be able to win 7 games in a row and receive compensation?
The owner of the arena saw Asil and welcomed him with a big smile.
"You want to participate in the arena? However, much! "I can get you a seat right away!"
They welcomed him so willingly that Asil was a little reluctant.
"Why are you so welcoming? Isn\'t that natural? Beautiful female contestants are always welcome. I guess you also want the elixir that is the reward for 10 consecutive wins, right? "I won\'t ask you what\'s going on, but the elixir is really there, so don\'t worry!"
"Hmm... Umm... Yes... "
Elixir.
It was a name that was familiar to Asil.
I don\'t know what the effect will be in this world, but at least it will live up to its name.
However, contrary to the owner\'s excitement, it was not the elixir that Asil was interested in.
Anyway, there was no need to correct that illusion, so Asil decided to participate in the arena.
According to the original plan, she planned to negotiate before participating to see if she could purchase it with money... The owner was very pleased and poured out her words, so the decision was made to participate in the arena.
"What. All I had to do was get it... "
Asil muttered as he left the owner\'s living room.
She didn\'t agree because she was pushed by her own strength. Huh. That was my intention from the beginning.
Just like that, the arena staff stuck to Asil, who was shielding herself.
"I heard about it. She participates in a series of arenas? Just come this way."
"No, already?"
"Wouldn\'t the sooner be better? "I have already decided on my opponent."
"No matter what, it\'s too fast."
Despite grumbling, Asil followed her employee.
There is less than a week left until the auction opens. Even you knew that time was running out.
◆
– You\'ve waited a long time!! Vikta Arena, the most famous attraction in the neutral city of Feden! We have a special event prepared today that will satisfy your expectations! 10 consecutive arenas that you all are familiar with! Today\'s challenger is...
Asil listened to the host\'s voice ringing loudly in the waiting room, and his pretty face frowned.
"Do I really have to go on like this? "Wouldn\'t it be okay if I ran away now?"
However, he was already in this situation and running away was something he couldn\'t do due to his personality.
Unaware of Asil\'s burning heart, unable to do this or that, the host continued speaking.
– ... A beautiful girl who will make your eyes widen! Will she be able to safely achieve 10 consecutive wins and claim her elixir? Thank you for your support! For your reference, this arena was created through the cooperation of the following sponsors...
As the list of sponsors that no one listened to gradually came to an end, Asil finally made up her mind.
"Hey. Fuck. "Do I have to die?"
With words that sounded more like desperation than determination, Asil headed from her waiting room to the arena.
A blinding light illuminated Asil\'s appearance.
At the same time, cheers that shook the arena rang out.
