Vol. 10 - Chapter 497 - Another Job Advancement - Ester Addition!
"——Thank you very much, Zephyr-dono."
Ester politely received the «Heavenly Spear Jewel» that I passed to her.
«Heavenly Spear Jewel» shared a resemblance to «Jewel of Sacred Heaven». Well, in general, «Jewel» of all categories looked the same; the base design fashioned after the world cup trophy while the center, where the globe was, would be replaced with a job specific symbol. In «Sacred Heaven» case, it was a sphere, while in «Heavenly Spear» it was a long spear.
On this topic, «Heavenly Spear Jewel» was not as rare compared to «Jewel of Sacred Heaven» but here, in reality, it was quite expensive here. Apparently some of the usage conditions about «Heavenly Spear Jewel» had been known to masses so it was quite popular for the «Knight Baron» related items. Frankly, I had to put more, exceedingly if i may so, to actually find it.
But at the end of day? The hassle was worth it when you hear words of gratitude, filled with honest appreciation, like Ester's.
Now, the sole condition left to fulfill was 'must equip «Chariot» while prompting for job promotion.'
Now it may be a question if it was possible to equip «Chariot» indoor, and some could be. Though I am sure the game had allowed even the huge one in a small place, but I guess this was the laws of reality in work eh. If anything, I would be hearing a lot more ruckus should I take out the huge «Chariot» out here.
It later come to light, more that I was explained, that apparently it was impossible to bring out something from «Inventory Box» that was bigger than a cramped room. Something like effect being rebounded due to lack of space. Boy, did it left me gawked, what was with that sci-fi setting?! It added another mystery of fantasy in my list.
Long story story, I then prepared a singly-person «Carriage». And it was—
"Ester, equip them too. This is a two-wheel chariot, «Customized Greaves» that excels in agile tricky maneuvers—«Azure Cogwheel»!"
Ta-daa! I said with theatrical gestures as I brought them out from «Item Bag».
"? Does this really count as a chariot, Zephyr-dono? Err, well, it looked like your leg equipment."
Ester cutely tilted her head when she saw the equipment.
Hmm-mm, I expected the reaction. After all, they're a far cry from the image of chariot—no, they all out appeared to be long, mechanical boots. Except, there were wheels in the feet section. The wheel's design resembled that of a disk, and it covered up to thighs.
There was also «Segway Rev.», but it was more of a vehicle, and this one here was directly worn on legs. Basically instead of riding, it was an attached Segway...I guess?
It provides freestyle movement, which pushes it to be one of the best «Chariot» equipment. Also, I think it should be the smallest «Chariot» out there. And my personal opinion? They're cool. ......Super-duper cool!
Ahem, my commentary aside, this would get the work done. And of course so, it was an equipment made from a recipe that was an intermediate-high dungeon's drop. I had got them from untalkative—err, Gant-senpai when I asked him if there was anything like 'Two wheels Leg Chariot.' But goodness, did it cost an arm since materials from all from his side. Though that was an must expense!
I swiftly had Ester get into them. These mechanical greeves could also be worn over usual clothes as well, attributing to their 'accessory' category. Well, the only bummer was it would however hide other leg equipment.
"Umm, I have equipped them. But I must say, it's a bit tricky to stand with them on."
"Wait, let me help you out, Ester."
"Ah, yes. Thank you, Sierra-dono."
Ester had been finding her unable to balance due to wheels, so Sierra came forward to be the clutch. She looked so much similar to the skater who had been standing in the skating ring for the first time, inside filled with worry about the unbalance.
With that said, Sierra supported Ester and took her to the «Dragon Statue».
"Woah, that equipment really looks cool, Ester!"
"Amaze."
"Yes, it really makes me want to try them as well!"
"I-Is it?"
Ester wore a slightly bewildered look as Lana, Karua and Hannah praised her current look, their eyes laced with a shining look. Well, Ester might know once she checks herself in the mirror though. «Azure Cogwheel» was just so damn exciting!
Now if only she skated in them by herself, that would be a sore sight to eyes. («-Don't ask me what I mean here)
"Maybe you would have been better with a bit of practice."
"No, it's enough. Sierra-dono is already a big help."
"Leave it to me."
I asked, a bit worried about her, but Ester's replies came out all okay. Sierra was also alright.
"Now, to the «Heavenly Spear Jewel»."
Ester brought «Heavenly Spear Jewel» closer to her chest, and channeled her mana into it, spurning it to melt into particles as it disappeared. The particles were then absorbed into her body.
Though Sierra next to her seemed immune to the phenomenon.
"Everything's ready. Here's your ticket, Ester."
"Yes, thank you very much, Zephyr-dono. Here I shall begin."
After inhaling sharply, She accepted the «Advance Job Ascension Ticket» with her left hand, right being supported by Sierra. She then stuck out her index finger and touched «Dragon Statue» with that.
The list showed itself and......«Chariot Princess» was right there, obviously.
"—Select «Chariot Princess»."
Ester unhesitantly opted out for the job.
The next moment, in the same vein as others, changes started to occur around Ester.
The equipment Ester wore shimmer in light green effect, like the glow «Sachineko-sama» gave out, replacing Ester's surrounding with the fantastical lighting.
And man, was it a screenshot worthy scene had it been a game. She looked so and all different, It was evoking a completely different emotion than the game!
—And thus, Ester assumed «Chariot Princess».
After a short while, the glow soon disappeared, wrapping up the spectacle. Next, I followed with the obvious words—
"Congrats on acquiring «Chariot Princess», Ester. I will be counting on you."
And now, Ester had safely finished her promotion. Just like Lana's «White Throne», Ester took off «Azure Cogwheel» and stored them away. A pity though, I felt inside.
Soon everyone catched up with their well wishes.
Next, I guess Hannah it is.
