“... Hikaru, you know that lynx?” (Rifreya)
"Yes. When she had her leg injured earlier and was left to die by her party . I just escorted her to the entrance. ” (Hikaru)
“...So you save other girls besides me.” (Rifreya)
“I obviously couldn't ignore him as he cried his way in the middle of Floor 2.” (Mari)
“Again Hikaru kindhearted~.” (Rifreya)
"Not really. That's normal." (Mari)
I swept over the mysterious jealousy of Rifreya, and tried to ask him something that bothered me.
“By the way, why is lynx doing exploration on recruitment system? Is there a reason why they don't do it like everyone else?” (Mari)
“I should have answered that question!!” (Grapefull)
Grapefull, who came down the stairs, jumped into our conversation.
Her raised ears were incredible ears. I see, it's really suitable for Scouts.
“We are required to explain the history of lynx to his party. Improving the social status of the lynx in this way, even if only briefly, is the motto of this association-nyan.” (Grapefull)
Grapefull explained while doing nyan nyan. It seems that the lynx is a race that can be found all over the world, but their eyes work in the dark, have good ears, are fast, and can walk without making a sound, most of them are thieves or pickpockets.
So, there are even cases when the lynx will be blamed, and slowly cornered into a position of discrimination.
“Lynx has fatal racial weaknesses. They are much more helpless than other races-nyan.” (Grapefull)
“That's why you can only carry such a thin sword?” (Mari)
"I can barely swing this one either ..." (Grapefull)
It was true that the lack of physical strength was fatal.
Being unable to resist violence is the deciding factor to call race 'weak'.
It may be different if there are weapons, but this is compounded by the fact that the world revolves around the powerful.
“That's why you have no choice but to raise your Level by diving in the Dungeon, yes.” (Mari)
“No No, not that. We can't fight, so we can't even raise our Level. Not just goblins, we can't even win against his skeleton.” (Grapefull)
"Then what are you doing?" (Mari)
“We are the lookout. Our task is to check the situation briefly and be careful.” (Grapefull)
"You can't get stronger like that." (Mari)
“It's okay like that for now. We keep coins, make contracts with Great Spirits-, and that's when a lynx can finally become an explorer.” (Grapefull)
i-i understand. So the 'weapon' lynx is a Spirit Ability.
Looking at his equipment, I can tell that he has no monetary leeway.
The deposit was 5 silver coins, but that was the payment the mutual aid association got, and clearly, a dead lynx could not get it. The part he got for 1 working day was 1 small silver coin.
If diving into the 3rd Floor, it takes 5 small silver coins, and the 4th Floor rises to 2 silver coins, but the danger increases. First of all, if the party they were to join disappeared, the lynx that accompanied them would not be able to survive.
“So, making a contract with the Great Spirit requires a lot of money?” (Mari)
"1 gold coin ..." (Grapefull)
“It costs that much?” (Mari)
1 gold coin? That's a huge one. This was a price that required 40 or 50 silver coins.
It was not an amount that the lynx could save when they only earned 1 small silver coin for one working day.
“T-Wait a minute. Grapefull .. right? Making a contract with Rog Agung for 1 gold coin is only... It can't cost that much. Even making a contract with the Great Rog of Light only on 10 silver coins, you know? The Great Spirit in this city should not earn more than 5 silver coins ... "(Rifreya)
“...Lynx can special price-nyan.” (Grapefull)
“Eh..” (Rifreya)
The Church is the one who puts the price on making a contract with the Great Spirit. In other words, it was the asking price. For humans it is cheap but for Half humans it is expensive. It seemed like such things were done as if it was normal.
“I understand the lynx situation now.I will make it so that you can get a decent amount when you are in our party, so don't worry. (Mari)
"really. Thought it would be 1 gold coin ... That's really weird ... "(Rifreya)
“I hope to cooperate with you.. Wait, we dive only with the three of us?” (Grapefull)
As soon as we got out, Grapefull stood in place and asked this.
Well, party 3 people is indeed a little.
"That's fine. Well, it should be fine. ” (Hikaru)
“Ya, we will only go to Floor 2.” (Rifreya)
Rifreya positive.
I'm not optimistic here, but even so, I assess there would be no problem if it was the 2nd Floor.
At worst, I can cover everything with the Dark Mist to escape from any enemy, and I still have 1 Barrier Stone. Ogres and mantis are threats, but as long as they don't surprise us, there should be no problems.
Also, I feel like we should be a little careless or the audience won't add up.
“Rarely anyone is only 3 while it includes a lookout, so I just want to confirm-nyan. Your abilities are amazing, Big Brother, and Rifreya is famous, so there should be no problems-nyan.” (Grapefull)
“So you are really famous, Rifreya.” (Mari)
“The Dazzling Rifreya is a name that quite often appears in other party chat. We lynx do not understand the meaning of human beauty. Everyone says they want to date him or marry him (Grapefull)
“It's impressive, Rifreya.” (Mari)
Is it like a local idol?
If they found out that he formed a party with me, wouldn't they immediately harass me?
I think the sense of beauty of this world will be different from Earth, but it seems like beauty is still beauty.
“So they talk about me like that. I need Hikaru to protect me.” (Rifreya)
The power that Rifreya used in our locked hands increased.
Or rather, we've been like this since exiting the guild. Is this good?
Wouldn't this make us harassed?
They have glanced at us quite often even at this moment.
“Protect, you said. You are stronger than me, Rifreya.” (Hikaru).
“If this is a fight without ability, then I will be stronger but...you will not protect me?” (Rifreya)
Looking up from a close distance.
It might be true that Rifreya was not drunk back then.
The close distance yesterday is still the same today.
"I'll protect you. At the very least, when you are with me, I will definitely protect you.” (Mari)
“Ehehe~, I'm sure you'll say that, Hikaru.” (Rifreya)
“ Him his! I smell her love! Are you two dating?” (Grapefull)
"Not that." (Mari)
Rifreya is so sticky here that how else would Grapefull think like this.
If I'm not used to my little sister wrapping their arms around both of my arms, this will be dangerous.
Rather than calling it love, it was more like a spoiled child.
"Ah, too, it looks like I was called by a nickname like 'Dazzling', but I'm not strong enough to accept that title, so Grapefull, try to correct it to the person if you can, okay?" (Rifreya)
So he has a nickname.
If I party with Rifreya, maybe they will call me Parasite Hikaru.
“What does Dazzling mean?” (Mari)
Is that a beautiful meaning?
you could even call it bad, but it's just me being Japanese.
“Dazzling is the nickname of my sword master. My fighting style was the same, so I was called that way. But the master is Salamander Rank, so I can't even compare it.” (Rifreya)
"i understand. After all, it was a beautiful fighting style. I kind of understand.” (Mari)
Her figure that was fighting while using her entire body to swing the greatsword was exquisite, as if she was dancing.
That fighting style was truly 'dazzling'.
There was also the beauty of Rifreya herself, but she was more radiant inside the dark and damp dungeon.
“Beautiful, you said.. Ah, right, you saw me fighting, Hikaru.” (Rifreya)
“I was so fascinated with it that I was finally late in saving you.” (Mari)
"So, so you watch with fascination ... Then, maybe I'm closer to Master?" (Rifreya)
"Yes, it must be 'Dazzling'." (Mari)
“Hehe... I'm happy.” (Rifreya)
“ Him! Aroma love!” (Grapefull)
Anyway, we've compiled the numbers.
The audience has increased far more than I imagined.
I know it. I actually have a lot of hidden viewers. I have easily gone to the hundreds of millions after I stopped hiding in the dark.
I'll take first place with this Party .. for sure.
