Chapter 123: Announcent of the results part 5: Item・Defensive Gear
Hi there,
Nothing much to say here other than I should be back to doing more tily updates (maybe).
Enjoy the chapter.
Even though we had gotten 5th place, the atmosphere in the lounge was quite delicate.
「Ah, eh…congratulations on 5th place, Riizu-chan! Hind-kun too!」(Selene)
After Selene-san gave us her congratulations with a forced smile, the other four mbers finally returned back to normal.
Though the ssage on the screen was still there…
「I only helped a bit with the finishing touches, so praise Riizu more.」(Hind)
When I said that, Yumir nodded and took a step forward.
I can’t believe her being able to praise Riizu but…why was she the first one to go…?
What is she going to do?
「Not bad! It was a poison that really displayed just how bad your personality is!」(Yumir)
「You are picking a fight, right, Yumir-san? That definitely didn’t sound like a complint.」(Riizu)
「Muh? That’s no-…I might be!」(Yumir)
「You stand right there! Today, I will definitely not forgive you!」(Riizu)
Ah, as I thought, it ended up like this.
While both of them started to wrestle with both hands, Siesta-chan ca closer to and asked.
「So, senpai. That poison, how were you able to disguise it as healing dicine?」(Siesta)
「We made a concentrated solution from the poisonous leaves of one of the Adeniums…when we did, it beca an anaesthetic with a green color. Then, we mixed it with dicinal herbs with low recovery effects and a dark green color and the result was that anaesthetic.
By the way, the reason it paralyzes from the neck down, was the result of a coincidence from trying to mix them with various quantities.」(Hind)
「That’s so evil. From a distance, it looks exactly like an HP potion, you know? Its effect is basically telling us
“Please, use to torture soone”.」(Tobi)
「Well yeah. In the end, it was used for that exact purpose after all.」(Hind)
「For the developers to have had to stop it, that’s sothing quite unheard of, right? Pukuku…」(Siesta)
It seems like Siesta-chan can’t help but find what Riizu and I did funny.
Strictly speaking, the one that did it was the Queen and we didn’t really do anything. However, as the son of a nurse, this is quite the regrettable turn of events.
「Laughing is quite rude, Si. Right, Hind-senpai, when it cos to dicine, it was possible to hide information right?」(Cineria)
I believe what Cineraria-chan wants to know with that question is if it’s possible to hide information regarding that anesthetic.
When players touch items or gear, information like their effects are shown after all.
「It’s possible. Though, since people won’t buy items from the trading BBS unless the information is shown, it’s not used often. But since Riizu really wanted to submit it without its information being shown, we submitted it like that for the contest.」(Hind)
「So the Queen saw right through it. She doesn’t look like the type that would show such a disgraceful side of hers…so it turned out like this.」(Selene)
When she heard what Selene-san and I had to say, question marks started appearing above Lycoris-chan’s head.
「You ntioned that you wanted the Queen to accidentally drink it, but Riizu-san, do you hate the Queen?」(Lycoris)
「Riizu-dono generally dislikes females with a better figure than hers.」(Tobi)
「Eh? But that would an basically every-」(Lycoris)
Because of Lycoris-chan’s careless remark, Riizu, who had sharp hearing, sent her a sharp gaze.
She sure has good ears, to be able to hear that remark despite being fighting with Yumir…
Moving her mouth while hesitating to keep talking, Lycoris-chan started to sweat and she frantically tried to think of a way to follow it up.
「B-Being smaller is cuter, right!? I’m currently quite small after all! Viva, SMALL!」(Lycoris)
「But Lyco, you’ve been happy recently because you’ve gotten a bit tal-…mofuh.」(Siesta)
「Si-chan, Shhh! That was a lie! A lie, you hear !」(Lycoris)
Siesta-chan’s mouth was frantically covered by Lycoris-chan.
Just for the record, when it cos to the height of the mbers of Baby Bird, Cineraria-chan is slightly taller. Lycoris-chan and Siesta-chan are quite short and about the sa height.
Both of them are pretty much the sa height as Riizu. You could say that Riizu was quite short for a high schooler.
By the ti there was a change in the image on the screen, Yumir and Riizu had gotten tired from their scuffle and were eating sweets with the other mbers.
The three middle schoolers, most likely because they were getting sleepy, were dozing on and off.
The Queen sat down on her throne, and her retainers were next to her as if nothing had happened.
『Eh, The item that took 5th place in the Item・dicine category is called Placebo Potion(Numbness), the exhibitor is Riizu. I personally wouldn’t have minded if it was placed high…what is it Arbol? What? Don’t say anything unnecessary? …Ah, let’s proceed to the next announcent! In 4th place…』(Queen)
After that, it was followed with healing items, the one that acquired 1st place was a potion that healed a little bit of HP・MP and status ailnts.
The exhibitor was the pharmacist player that was talked about in the BBS.
That concluded the item related divisions, it was finally ti for the equipnt ones.
First off was the accessory one, since no one among us was participating in it, I’ll omit it.
Then, it was ti for the defensive gear category I was participating in.
『Well then, ti for the next one. The top 100 items in the armour category, Tadah!』(Queen)
「「「Uwoh, so bright!」」
Most of the exhibited goods released a dazzling golden glow.
Among them, we could see so silver ones and others that gave priority to their performance, but the number of gold armor was overwhelmingly high.
In the middle of those, my item was…
「Ah, it’s there. For the ti being, seems like I got into the top 100.」(Hind)
「Muh? Where is it, Hind?」(Yumir)
「There, towards the right, next to that golden dress.」(Hind)
「Oh, that red one…ah, it’s gone.」(Tobi)
I thought it would stand out because it was bright red, but the items surrounding it were just too flashy.
Before everyone managed to take a look, the image was cut off, they were proceeding to announce the top 10.
At that mont, Riizu said this with great conviction.
「It’ll be fine. If the clothes are made by Hind-san, they’ll definitely get in the top 10.」(Riizu)
「W-Wait, Riizu, you! Even though you treated Selene-san so kindly, you are going to raise the expectations for !?」(Hind)
「Eh? But we are talking about Hind-san here, you know?」(Riizu)
What with that expression that is saying that it would be a given for to place high! The way you put so much trust in is frightening!
Yumir and Tobi found that funny so they were giggling and the corners of Siesta-chan’s mouth also rose up.
「You are right! There’s no way for Hind to lose here!」(Yumir)
「It’s Hind-dono after all! He’ll easily get a high rank here!」(Tobi)
「I can’t imagine senpai losing here. I have really high expectations.」(Siesta)
「Ah, eh…Hind-senpai, do your best!」(Lycoris)
「You guys sure have so baseless confidence. Besides, the results are already out, you know? There’s nothing to do my best at right now, you know?」(Hind)
I was feeling bewildered at how they just kept raising the hurdle.
Lycoris-chan even added a comnt there for so reason.
Selene-san and Cineraria-chan were giving a wry smile.
I was working on mine until the last mont but…looking at the goods displayed here, I can tell that real life professionals with actual experience are strong.
I’m not sure how mine will fare…
The announcents continued until 3th place, the things line up until now were things like: golden shields, armors and helts. They were finely crafted products.
Among them, the one that took 3th place drew our attention, it was a jet black armor made by a famous blacksmith player called Wales.
As a top class blacksmith, he was able to get such a high rank despite disregarding the Queen’s tastes. You could feel sothing akin to pride and stubbornness from it.
「Is Hind’s defensive gear not announced yet? Shouldn’t it be about ti?」(Yumir)
「I’m looking forward to it. Will it be 2nd place? Maybe even 1st place?」(Tobi)
「Senpai, if you don’t manage to place in the top 10, let’s sulk in bed together, together.」(Siesta)
「Hah? Save the sleep talking for when you are sleeping.
…Well, it’s a given that he’ll enter the top 10 though, so there’s no point in making those kind of promises.」(Riizu)
「It’s not coming out, Hind-senpai’s defensive gear.」(Lycoris)
Only two products left, being driven to a corner by my companions, my ntal was about to reach its limits.
Aside from Riizu and Lycoris-chan, the other three are definitely doing it on purpose, they are for sure…
「Just end it…I don’t care if I didn’t get into the top 10…」(Hind)
「Hind-kun, he just had enough…」(Selene)
「Hind-senpai…」(Cineraria)
Selene-san and Cineraria-chan are the only ones, the only ones that worry about .
While I was praying that it ended soon, the Queen announced the product that was in 2nd place.
『The item in 2nd place in the defensive gear category…its na is Eishika Dress! The exhibitor is Hind!』(Queen)
「-!!」(Hind)
At that mont, I gave out an incomprehensible shout and did a fist pump with both arms.
Mainly, it was because I was finally free from the stress.
