Defense Specialization and Going Together
“Now...I wonder if there’s any new information . ”
Izu decided to head out and see if there was any new information since she expected most of the town exploration would have ended by now .
She had mainly just shut herself up in the workshop in order to create new items, so it had been a long time since she last went outside for a reason other than acquiring materials .
“Uhhh...information on monsters...”
When Izu checked the information about tamable monsters, she saw that there was a great variety of them . Among the monsters that were easy to tame, the strong ones could often be seen walking around town with their master .
“Even the ones that aren’t rare monsters are quite strong . I’m sure Sally is checking this out too...as for monsters that can help with production...”
As she continued to look, she found a monster that had been discovered recently . The requirement for starting the quest was producing a certain amount of a new item . It had been recently discovered by a player who was like Izu, and had shut themselves up in their workshop all of this time .
It was suggested that clearing the quest would get you a fairy, but as no one had completed it yet, no one knew what kind of abilities it would have .
“Yes, this is good! I’ll choose this one . ”
And so Izu excitedly made her way to the house where she could accept the quest . There was a large chimney on the top and a row of barrels next to the house that looked like they were stuffed with materials . From what Izu could see through the window, the interior was filled with familiar crafting tools .
“This is the place . If I’m not wrong, fulfilling the requirements should mean the quest...yes!”
As Izu stood in front of the door, a blue panel was displayed in front of her, and the quest appeared .
“‘The Three Trials . ’ It seems pretty hard...”
Izu accepted the quest and entered the house . And there in front of her was an old man with a very long, white beard . The house was littered with old tools as if they were proof that the owner had dedicated his entire life to crafting . As Izu looked around the room, the old man started to talk to her .
“Since you came here, you must want to borrow the power of fairies . Hmm...well, it seems you have a reasonable amount of skill . Wait here one moment . ”
The old man took out a single sheet of paper from his desk and handed it to Izu .
There were three item names written on it .
“Fairies do as they please . If you can get them to help you, you will be able to create something quite wonderful...but you must be a worthy master first . ”
In other words, she had to prove that her abilities were worthy of the fairy . And so she would have to make these items .
“This...yes . Alright then . ”
Izu decided . She would finish making all three of these items before she next visited this house . And so she left .
She had never made any of these items before . While the recipe was on the paper, the items she needed would have to be made by combining other items . And she knew that she would have to be patient as she worked .
“The crafting is fine, but...this is going be hard . ”
There were many items that she needed that came from monsters that looked quite strong . It would be hard for Izu to face them on her own .
“I might have to ask someone for help . ”
She checked which guild members were currently logged in . Then she noticed that Maple and Mi were in the town square while on their way back to the guild home . Then they also noticed that Izu was there, and Maple started waving at her .
“Hello, Maple . How are things? Is the exploration going well?” josei
“Yes! Mi invited me to go leveling with her today . ”
“Oh, I see . Then I can’t ask you today...”
Maple tilted her head to the side and asked her what had happened . And so Izu told her about the quest that she had just accepted .
Maple looked like she wanted to help her, but the promise she made with Mi was also important .
Mi listened to all of this from the side and put a hand to her mouth as if she were deep in thought . Once Izu was finished talking about the quest, Mi entered the conversation .
“I see . Then how about this? I’ll go too . So it will be all three of us . I was planning on leveling up today anyway . And you’re going to a pretty harsh area, right? In that case, it should be pretty promising for leveling up . ”
“Are you sure? Mi?”
Maple asked . And Mi winked so that only Maple could see her .
“Of course . Besides, hehehe... It will allow me to witness the abilities of my rivals . ”
And she really did feel that way . But she also wanted to help them and play together .
“If that’s the case, will you please help me? Of course, I’ll do everything to support you . ”
“Yeah, I don’t mind . ”
“Alright, then . Let’s go! Let’s go!”
Like that, Izu took the lead, and Maple and Mi followed her . They decided to make their first destination the volcanic mountain, as they had rarely gone there and had few materials .
“It’s pretty far... Should I use ‘Savagery’? Or do you want to ride Syrup?”
“It will take up a lot of time if we have to fight on the way...yes, it might be best to ride on Syrup . ”
As the two talked about this, Mi made a suggestion .
“I have a better way . Hehehe... Maple, don’t assume that you’re the only one who can fly in the air . ‘Awakening’!”
Mi said . And then her ring began to glow red, and then a bird with orange feathers and a long tail landed on her arm . Red flames flickered at the ends of its wings, and it was obvious that this was no ordinary bird you might see in the forest .
“Ohh!! So that’s your buddy, Mi! Ah, so that’s what you wanted to show me today . ”
“I see...is it...a phoenix?”
Maple kept shouting excitedly about how cool it looked . Mi looked rather smug as she made her buddy enlarge .
“Ignis, ‘Enlarge’!”
As she said this, the bird that she called Ignis blew up into such a size that all three of them could ride on its back .
“We’ll arrive in no time like this . Now, let’s go!”
Mi said . And then she helped Maple up, as she looked like she was struggling . As Maple got up onto its back, she whispered to Mi .
“You sure are excited . ”
“Oh . I-I couldn’t wait to show it to you! What do you think?”
“Yes, it’s so cool!”
Upon hearing this, Mi laughed with satisfaction . As they talked, Izu also climbed up, and then with all three of them on top, Ignis flew off in the direction of the volcanic mountain .
