It Seems The Production Skill Acquired In Another World Is The Strongest (LN) Book 1: Chapter 16

Chapter 16 Milia Ca To Visit At The Inn

Before arriving at Aunen, Iris and I had a brief conversation. We talked about trivial, ordinary things.

I asked her where her favorite restaurant was. Or whether to eat her favorite food first or leave it until the end.

It wasnt that I forgot about the Great Flood or the Black Dragon, but it was a nice change of pace.

As we entered Aunen through the south gate, most buildings were bright even though it was midnight.

They must be preparing for the evacuation.

Everyones going to be very busy tonight

We hurried off to the Adventurers Guild.

Naturally, the Adventurers Guild was in operation. The lobby was empty, but in the back, the staff was busy running around.

Where is the branch manager Zitan?

Hes probably upstairs in his office.

We walked up the stairs to the second floor. We found the branch managers office at the end of the long corridor.

I knocked on the door a few tis and then called out loudly.

Its Kou. Ive just returned from the underground city.

Oh, Ive been waiting for you. Please co in.

Excuse .

Sorry to bother you.

The office was quite spacious.

The front half of the room was a reception area with a map spread out on a table. There was a large desk in the back, flanked by bookshelves on either side.

Im sorry for the ss, but with the situation as it is, I hope you will forgive .

Chief Zitan smiled apologetically, left his desk, and walked towards us.

Please sit down for now. How was the vault?

It was a pretty big haul. If there are any troubles along the way, we may be able to minimize the damage.

By trouble, I an the Great Flood and the Black Dragon, of course. I briefly explain Gram, the Destroyer Golem, and the Dragon Gods shield.

I see

Chief Zitan crossed his arms and nodded.

Id like to see how powerful they really are, but we dont have enough ti. This would be quite the gamble, but you will have to use your own judgnt when the ti cos. You dont need to ask for my permission.

Are you sure?

You and Iris are both top-notch talents. I will trust you on that.

After that, we talked briefly about our future plans. The evacuation would begin before noon that day, prioritizing the children and won.

In the event of the Great Flood or the resurgence of the Black Dragon, Iris and I would go and intercept it while the other adventurers would focus on guarding the residents. Its called proper division of labor.

You guys are our trump card. I dont want you to be unable to exert yourselves due to a lack of sleep. Get a good nights rest tonight and co to the guild at nine in the morning.

Are you sure we should take it that easy?

I dont mind. In the first place, we are grateful to you for providing us with a refuge in the underground city. Since were about to impose even more work on you, you should at least take a break.

I understand. All right, then, Ill rest without reservation.

Chief Zitans idea made sense to , and it would be tactless to argue with him at this point.

Iris and I thanked him and left the branch managers office. It was already around one oclock in the morning.

On the second floor of the Adventurers Guild, there are several dormitory rooms, from which sleepy staff have been coming and going They seem to be taking turns to nap and preparing for evacuation.

Speaking of which, I wonder where Milia is?

Is there sothing you need from her?

I thought Id at least say hello to her Id feel bad if she was asleep, though.

Its not an ergency that we need to wake her up. Well, it can wait until after dawn.

We returned to the first floor of the guild and went straight out of the building.

Kou, youre going back to the inn, right?

Yeah, Iris house is this way, right? Would you like to accompany you back?

Yes. Well, since its such a hassle, I might ask you to walk with .

So I decided to go to Iris house first.

I hope nothing will happen today

I hope so too. But the world is not so easy, is it?

Trouble can happen when you dont want it to. You should be prepared for the worst possibilities.

The Great Flood, the Black Dragon is there anything else I missed?

At that mont, sothing suddenly crossed my mind.

Iris, what is the rcenary Guild doing?

I had forgotten about the guilds existence since I hadnt been involved with it at all recently, but co to think of it, the Adventurers Guild in this world had a business rival the rcenaries Guild, which is famous for its bad behavior.

I wonder if theyll try to cause trouble or sothing in the confusion.

Thats okay. As soon as there were signs of the Great Flood, the rcenaries fled with the entire guild.

Are you sure about that?

rcenaries are not obligated to protect the city. Well, those people keep causing problems, so it might be better if they werent around

Iriss opinion was certainly one that I could agree with. Its an ergency situation right now, and the fewer sparks of incidents we have, the better.

I would like to wish the rcenaries good luck in their future endeavors.

In the anti, we arrived at Iriss house.

Thank you, Kou. See you in the morning.

Yeah. Dont be late.

After parting ways with Iris and returning to Quiet Moon Pavilion, I quickly finished my bath and laid down on my bed.

I closed my eyelids, but the problem was that I couldnt sleep.

It seems that my nerves are overstimulated by the big battle ahead.

I need to relax a bit more.

I think Im going to take a bath again.

Maybe if I relax in the tub, Ill feel sleepy.

As I got up from the bed, there was a knock at the door.

Hmm?

Who the heck is this at this hour?

Should I answer it honestly, or should I decide to remain silent? As I was wondering, I heard a reserved voice from the other side of the door.

Good evening, Its , Milia. May I have a mont of your ti?

* * *

When I opened the door, Milia was standing there in her work uniform.

Im sorry, Kou-san. I didnt an to disturb you at this late hour

No, its okay. I was just having trouble sleeping. Lets talk in the room for now. If we talk in the corridor, it will bother the other guests.

Oh, youre right. Then Ill take your word for it

I let Milia in and led her to the living room. In addition to the bedroom and living room, there is also a kitchen and a drawing room. Well, I usually only use the bedroom, though.

Kou-san, youre staying in an amazing room

Milia was scurrying around the living room with a look of surprise on her face.

As a side note, I didnt pay a single Komsa to stay in this room. The rchant, Chro-san, had arranged the room for as his gratitude for saving his life.

However, I only used the bedroom and bathroom, so I felt bad about that.

In the living room, there was a one-seater sofa and a three-seater sofa facing each other.

When I sat down on the one-seater, Milia sat down on the three-seater.

Im really sorry to barge in on you so late at night. Actually, I have sothing important to tell you.

Whats the matter?

I just received a ssage from Chief Zitan about todays developnts. If the Black Dragon appears, Kou-san and Iris-san will fight it together, right?

Yeah, thats the plan.

I understand.

Milia nodded with a serious expression and took out a small pouch made of linen from the breast pocket of her uniform.

Kou-san, please take this. It might be useful for you.

What in the world is that?

When I opened the pouch Milia gave ; I found a silver ring inside.

The ring had letters like the alphabet engraved on the surface, and after looking at it for a while, [Full Assist] was activated, and I was able to read it.

You who have co from a faraway land, if you challenge the dragon, empty your vessel. The blessing of the spirit cannot dwell there.

You can read that, Kou-san?

Its thanks to my skill. More importantly, what kind of ring is this?

Its called the Spirit Ring. It was given to by my distant grandfather when I was little. He said, If anyone cos to challenge the dragon, give them this ring.'

I see

I nodded and thought about the text engraved on the ring.

A person from a faraway land probably refers to a person from another world. It is certain that they are trying to challenge the dragon, and in that sense, they may be qualified to receive the ring.

When I was thinking about this I heard an inorganic voice in my mind.

The link with the spirit ring has been established by [Full Assist].

Skills based on the role will be released.

Kou Kousaka is not a hero, a demon king, or a sage and possesses [Creation].

Because the special conditions have been fulfilled, [Material Refinent] has been unlocked.

When I opened the status inside my mind, I saw that the skill had indeed been added.

[Material Refinent] The effect of this is to create a higher-level material by multiplying the sa material.

However, it cant be used on any material, and the target seems to be limited.

Fortunately, there was just one material in my [Item Box] that could be used for [Material Refinent].

It was the Lonely Wolfs pelt.

About ten days ago, I fought a horde of Lonely Wolves. Thanks to this, I acquired more than five thousand pelts, but if I sold all of them, the price would collapse, so I kept about 80% of them on hand.

When it cos to this, lets give it a try.

The following was what ca to my mind as a recipe.

Lonely Wolf pelt x 100 Fenrir pelt x 1

Fenrir is a wolf monster from Norse mythology and is a common existence in fantasy-based ani and gas.

The fact that there are Fenrir pelts makes wonder if there are Fenrir living sowhere in this world.

Aside from that, when I checked the Fenrir fur with [Appraisal], the results were as follows.

Fenrir Pelt: The pelt of the magical wolf Fenrir. The texture is superb, and it has excellent physical and magic resistance. If used as a material for clothing, it will be blessed with divine speed.

This is a very interesting explanation.

I wonder what the blessing of divine speed is. Im quite curious about it, and I think it will be useful in future battles. With a little more pelt, I wonder if a recipe for [Creation] will co to mind.

Um Kou-san?

Hmm? Oh, Im sorry.

When Milia spoke to , I ca to my senses.

Ive gotten carried away with my new skills.

Im sorry about that, Milia.

Kou-san, your sudden silence startled . Are you okay? Is it possible that the ring is cursed?

Its not like that. Actually, my skills have increased.

Eh!

Milia rolled her eyes and scread in surprise.

This was a natural reaction, I suppose. Skills are inborn. They are not acquired. Thats how its generally thought.

Err

Milia asked with a puzzled expression on her face.

I guess that ans it was a good decision to give the ring to Kou-san?

Probably.

I nodded and put the ring on the middle finger of my left hand. The size of the ring is perfect, and there is no weird pressure or uneasy feeling that it might fall off.

I felt as if it had been a part of my body from the beginning.

As I gaze at the ring, Milia calls out to .

Do you like it?

Yes. Its a nice ring.

Fufu, Im glad you like it. Actually, half of the reason I joined the Adventurers Guild was for the ring. Im so relieved that I was able to give it to the right person.

You wont quit the Adventurers Guild now, will you?

Of course not. I am a rising star, after all.

Milia puffed up her chest proudly.

Im also looking forward to seeing what Kou-san will do in the future. My prediction is that you will be able to clear up the Great Flood and take care of the Black Dragon with a single swipe and leave your na in history.

I think thats an overestimation, indeed.

You can do it, Ko-san. It will be fine.

After saying that, Milia smiled with a gentle face.

Just looking at her smile, strangely enough, my tense feeling began to lt away.

Im getting a little sleepy.

Fuwah

I suddenly let out a yawn.

Right after that, Milia also let out a small yawn. We both looked at each other and smiled.

I think I just yawned.

It happens sotis, doesnt it?

Ti is essential now. I think Ill go ho and have a little sleep.

Thanks for your work. Have a good rest.

Yes, thank you!

After Milia left the room, I fell deeply asleep in my bedroom bed.

When I woke up at 7 a.m. I felt my fatigue from yesterday disappear. My body felt light. The air was good and I felt refreshed.

I quickly got ready and set about the work I had left undone yesterday.

I wondered if I could use Fenrirs pelt to create a piece of equipnt with [Creation].

First, I used [Material Refinent] to increase the number of pelts.

When I created over 20 pelts, a new recipe popped into my mind.

It seems that I can make an armor piece called Fenrir Coat.

Of course, I had to do it right away.

Fenrir Coat: A top-grade coat made of luxurious Fenrir pelt. It has top-class physical and magic resistance and has trendous power.

Granted effects:Physical Defense Enhancent SMagic Defense Enhancent SGods Speed Blessing EX.

I took it out of the [Item Box] and found that it was a black long coat.

The size is a little large, so it can be worn over armor.

After so thought, I put on the Armored Bear Armor first.

I removed the bear head from my left shoulder and stored it in my [Item Box].

On top of that, I put on the Fenrir Coat, the Black Spider Gauntlets on both arms, and the Spirit Ring on my left middle finger.

Im all set.

Lets go.

I left the room.

From yesterday to today, it was as if I was being guided to ready my set of equipnt for a decisive battle.

Now all I have to do is give it my all.
