Chapter 115: The Curiosity of the Weapon Shop Owner
The next few days passed without issue.
We went out every day to prepare for the wave. Sotis we would go to the mine and search for rare materials, and other tis we would fight monsters to raise our levels.
In the mine, I would feed all the gems we acquired into the shield and we would also eliminate any nearby monsters.
For Firo’s legs, it doesn’t even take a day to return to the castle.
At the castle, I would mix dicines or learn magic. Rafatalia and Rishia are also studying magic under the court magician.
For so reason, after the class-up Rafatalia has begun to be able to use magic other than Illusion. She has started absorbing new types of magic into her fighting style like a sponge.
But even for her, there is not much she can learn in 2-3 days.
The court mage says that in 2 weeks, she will be able to utilize Dreifach Class magic. I am waiting expectantly.
This will be useful in the future.
I was unable to save the people of the plagued village on my own, so I am studying dicine. For so reason the dicine Shop owner went to the trouble of personally teaching .
This world’s dicine is very effective, however only a select few actually studied and sold it.
They seed to make up a sort of Apothecary Guild.
However the Church and Apothecaries were constantly fighting over treatnt thods, and there are very few skilled people among either of their mbers.
The Church is putting its resources towards researching Healing Magic. This magic can heal extrely severe injuries, however it is not effective on disease.
The Apothecaries are putting their efforts towards mixing dicine. They are making progress towards eliminating diseases, however are unable to heal severe physical wounds.
Both sides have few advanced equipnt and skilled individuals, the dicine shop owner complains.
I wonder what field I should direct Rishia towards for support.
In order to make her stronger, I have a lot to learn.
By the way, Firo is spending her ti playing with lty.
The Wave will co in 4 days.
I go to the Weapon Shop to check on the old man’s progress.
Old Man: “Oh, it’s you kids.”
Naofumi: “Are there any new developnts?”
Old Man: “Let’s see… The Bird Girl stopped by with her friend to play.”
Friend?… He’s probably talking about lty
She’s the princess set to take over the country, you know. Wait, for now she is the only princess.
He should already know as he saw my wanted poster.
And lty is being too carefree, playing outside after all that stuff happened.
Old Man: “You brought so mysterious ingredients, boy. I used the Black rabbit materials you gave to try to reinforce the sword, and it imdiately turned white.”
Naofumi: “Ho-…“
Old Man: “I applied a Blood Deterring Charm to the sword. It’s not as effective as the coating, but it should work for your purposes.”
Blood Deterring Charm?
Is it a level below Coating?
Naofumi: “Ah, it sohow gives off a better feeling than before.”
Old Man: “I sharpened the edge, and put so light enchantnts on it. The process went well.”
Naofumi: “This is incredible.”
“I tried to do the sa on the Bird Girl’s claws and it went well. For this one, I used the Black Dog Materials.”
Naofumi: “Wow…”
For so reason, Firo’s claws have turned white as well.
It looks like a curse was lifted from them.
I inspect these two items.
–
Usauni Sword, Quality High
(Note: Rabbit is Usa)
Item Effects: Agility Up, Magic Up, Pierce Power Up, Blood Deterrent
–
Inulut Claw, Quality High
(Note: Dog is Inu)
Item Effects: Agility Up, Magic Up, Pierce Power Up, Blood Deterrent
–
Naofumi: “You do good work.”
Old Man: “Thanks”
These weapons have increased in quality considerably. They will be a major asset. I wonder if they already had preset nas, or if the Old Man nad them.
Usauni… Inulut… I believe they were the legendary monsters of the islands.
Old Man: “I also finished this spear.”
–
Speckle Spear
… Effects pretty much the sa as the others.
–
Naofumi: “Who here can wield a spear? Also where did you get that spear from?”
From that na, was it made from the Penguin Ingredients?
Old Man: “I thought it was odd, but when I started using so of the remaining ingredients, this was the result. The ingredients almost ran out, it was difficult.”
Naofumi: “That was unnecessary…”
Well, I guess there’s no harm. Worst cos to worse, I’ll give it to Rishia. She’s even wearing the Penguin suit, It will be quite fitting.
Old Man: “This is still under construction. Try giving it to the Lady in the Costu.”
Naofumi: “Keep up the good work.”
Old Man: “Sure. But… The problem is the modification of the Penguin Suit that you ordered…”
With a sorry face, the old man goes into the back of the shop and pulls out what used to be the penguin suit.
Naofumi: “Oy… It’s slightly different, but it’s definitely still a costu.”
The whole suit has turned white.
Old Man: “I think I am going crazy. When the Bird Girl ca over to play, I got inspired to try sothing, and it turned out like this.”
Naofumi: “… I have a really bad feeling about this. What sort of inspiration was that!”
Rishia: “What is that?”
Naofumi: “Co on, Rishia!”
Rishia touches the suit. She is shaking.
…
Naofumi: “Hey, Old Man. No matter how you look at it, this is impossible.”
Old Man: “I also think that it turned out wrong.”
The Old Man looks like he is going to cry.
That’s right… What was once a Penguin Suit is now a Filo Rial Suit.
And no matter how you look at it, Firo was the Model.
It is pretty much a Firo Suit.

… Both and the Old Man avert our eyes from the Costu.
Firo: “Wa- Is this imitating Firo?”
Rafatalia: “It definitely looks like you.”
Rishia: “What a wonderful Costu!”
Naofumi: “Hey! Don’t just equip it by yourself!”
Rishia imdiately puts on the suit.
“How do I look? Kue! Kue!”
… There is now a bird-form Firo next to the human-form Firo.
Well compared to the real thing, it is a bit smaller.
It’s quite a sorry sight.
I go and check Rishia’s status.
High! Is this the effect of the shield?
What was once 1/5 of Rafatalia’s stats is now 1/3!
For an equipnt to be this effective… The Race change also gave her Filo Rial Shield Bonuses.
Well, as long as it’s effective, I guess it’s fine.
Naofumi: “Yes. Apart from the appearance, it is fine.”
Firo: “How cruel.”
Rishia seems happy with the Firo Suit.
However Firo seems to be protesting.
Old Man: “This is all I can do for now. Next ti, I’ll make so actual equipnt for the girl.”
Naofumi: “How about ?”
Old Man: “I can make it, but I don’t think it will be ready in ti for the wave.”
Naofumi: “I see.”
Well, with the defense of the Shield, my armor has taken very little damage to begin with. I guess I can leave it as it is for now.
Naofumi: “I’ll pop by later. Thank you for your work.”
Old Man: “Sure. Oh yes, boy?”
Naofumi: “What is it?”
Old Man: “I can also make you new shields.”
That’s right. With these strange ingredients, he can also forge new shields that I have yet to acquire.
Feeding materials to the Shield will not necessarily guarantee a new shield, it will be more efficient to have the Old Man forge shields out of the drops.
Should I leave so materials from the next wave’s boss to the Old Man?
Naofumi: “If I run into so interesting materials, I might ask for that. Please wait ‘til then.”
Old Man: “I’ll be waiting, boy.”
And as such, we prepared for the wave.
I have been using the thods the other heroes gave to strengthen the shields already in my possession as well.

I am currently raising my proficiency. For so reason, upon strengthening, this shields stats went higher than the Chira Viper Shield.
I guess this is because this is from the boss that ca after the Chira. It’s abilities’ effectiveness also went up with reinforcent.
The abilities Drain, Intangibility, and Undead Control appeared after awakening the shield.
Just as its na implies, Intangibility allows to pass through solid objects… But going through a single wall takes up all of my SP. And that was quite a thin wall at that. I wonder what will happen if I solidify inside a wall.
Undead Control allows to manipulate undead monsters to so extent. I tried using it on so Skeletons, but it imdiately dried up my SP.
I don’t think I can use these functions.
But by stats alone, my Defense is now 4 tis what is was when I got back to the castle.
Yesterday, I let myself get attacked by all sorts of monsters, and I didn’t even feel anything.
… However, I myself never let damage get through to to begin with.
After leaving the Old Man’s store, I go the Castle’s courtyard to experint.
