● Rabbit Moon 「YUZUKI」 “Lower Fang”
Anti-Blade Sword
The na of a pair of knives, with this one representing the lower one of the pair. It contains the essence of the Vorpal power within itself and its true power lies hidden amongst the clouds.
When fighting an opponent whose level is higher than the user, upon a critical hit the next basic attack is going to cause a small percentage of HP to be restored rather than increase the attack power of the next basic attack.
The above effect from critical hits stack up a certain number of tis.

Calm down, …… It’s a simple math problem here. It doesn’t require you to solve so kind of equation that would change the basic fundantals of the whole world. This isn’t rocket science.
Umm, let’s see…… So I need a combined number of one hundred and forty five in those three stats, right? And my current number is like what, fifty two? So that ans I still require about ninety three more skill points. One level up gives you roughly five skill points to spend, so when you divide ninety three by five it give us…… about nineteen more levels!?
「NOOOOOOOOO…..!!!」
「S, SANRAKU–––––––––SAN!!!」
I was currently on my knees, despairing over just how weak I actually was.
I had mixed feelings about returning to Thirdrema after doing my best at escaping from it so hard, but it was all for Katsu’s sake. He finally arrived at Thirdrema today and since it was his first big city, he wanted soone to actually show him around.
To avoid drawing attention to I chose the fastest route possible and ran at full speed, only to arrive at Thirdrema’s back alley. There was a small café there run by an NPC called “Snake’s Apple”, and Pencilgton said that it was good for secretive, inconspicuous etings.
「Now then, don’t you think that keeping us waiting is a little bit cruel, even for you? We’ve been waiting here for at least three hours now! Is this so kind of kinky sexual play that you are into recently?
「It was so business that will help us in our fight against the Gravekeeper.」
「Right, I shall forgive you this ti around.」
Problem solved!
I wasn’t really going to explain to them about the unique quest that I was doing right now, since it would be too tedious to explain, so this short version will have to do for now.
「It’s nice that you are taking the preparation so seriously.」
「No, there’s nothing nice to it, believe …… Oi, you idiot there! Stop playing around with the fork! It’s dangerous!」
His VIT stat must still be a single digit. It wasn’t all that much, and with that even the most trivial wound inflicted with a fork may one day prove fatal. There were cases like that in the past. Best to avoid stupid deaths like that.
Retracting the fork that was aid at my throat, Katsu began to casually eat his cake with it. As for his equipnt, he was currently wearing a casual light armor.
「Oikatsu?」
「Hm? Ah, that’s my ShanFro player tag.」
「Is that supposed to be in moriam of sothing?」
As usual, his naming sense just sucked so much! But truth be told, that wasn’t the strangest one of his naming ideas that I have seen.
「Not really. I just thought that it would be nice for people to see my player na and think: “God, what a nuisance!”」
「Hahaha, now that’s downright stupid.」
「Yes, and now that we have been witnesses to Katsu’s codic talents, we can hear what our dear friend Sanraku has to say.」
Pencilgton apparently didn’t want to waste any ti, for he wanted to share the information while Katsu was still eating his cake.
「…… Well, it might not be all that useful a piece of information, but during the conversations with NPCs, the Gravekeeper is often described as “not alive, but not dead either”. This makes believe that we are dealing with an undead type of monster here.」
「…… That’s right, now that I think about it, there were signs of him being an Undead during the fight. I see, I thought it might be sothing else, but if he was an Undead, it would make an awful lot of sense.」
I thought that my information wouldn’t be of much use here, but apparently Pencilgton saw the matter a little bit differently.
For a mont out there Pencilgton was pondering sothing, but before long he ca back to us, looking at both Katsu and I alternatively.
「I need to do a little sothing on my end, so you’ll have to take care of yourselves until evening.」
「Well, that’s fine with , but is there anything of interest that we can do around these parts to kill ti?」
「For the ti being, why don’t the two of you try leveling up so more at the “Ancient Ruins”?」
As he said that, Pencilgton handed us a strange object…… Was that a fishing rod? I look at Katsu in a suggestive way. We wanted to ask Pencilgton what the deal was, but he was already on his way out of the shop.
「You’ll understand once you get there. See you later!」
「Off he goes……」
「That he did.」
Not having anything more to do in the store, we exit it as well and then proceed through the back alleys. If we were to go along the main street, we would attract way too much attention.
With even more players about to join the ga, the risk of being recognized and targeted was raising with each passing day. That is why I asked Katsu to co with and avoid huge crowds of people. Fortunately, I still had Thirdrema’s layout stuck in my head, so I was able to guide us to the gate relatively safely.
Then we walked down the forest path leading in the opposite direction from the Crimson Trees Cave.
「Why does Pencilgton want us to go fishing? Can we improve our level at it as well?」
「Hell if I know. It’s the first ti I have a fishing rod in my hands as well.」
「Apparently there are so white fish with red at in that area.」
「White fish? Like salmon?」
「Really? By the way…… Who was that talking just now?」
「Emul, you can drop the act. This guy here is trustworthy.」
「Ehh? The way you said it just now makes it sound like so cheap party trick, Sanraku-san! This is an ergency camouflage technique! Very advanced and very useful!」
「Uwah!? The scarf is talking!?」
Katsu suddenly shouted…… Oh yeah, this will be his first ti seeing Emul, right? I wonder how is he going to react?
