Vol. 7 - Chapter 352 - Another quest completion and !

"And as a reward, I present you with the <Golden Pips-chan Plushie>."

"Thank you very much, Phillis-sensei!"

Lana received the plushie resembling the rare monster <Gopipps> from Philis-sensei respectfully. A wide smile firmly adorning her face

No, it was not just Lana, other girls were also wearing happy expressions while looking at the <Gopipps> plushie. On the other hand, Rika, who also loves plushies, is trying to hide her excitement in front of her sister, but her sparkling eyes give it away completely.

After defeating the rare monster <Gopipps>, we proceed to defeat the field boss on the 10th floor, return via the teleportation circle and accepted the quest. It wasn't long after we handed over the <Gopipps> drop to Zezelthon, the guide of the <Int-low>, to deliver when Phillis-sensei arrived with that plushie, leading us to this moment.

This sudden development in the middle caught me by surprise. I mean, why is it Philis-sensei handling the reward?

By the way, the rare drop from <Gopipps> is <Spirit Tree Seedling> that can be installed in the guild. In the <Dungeon Activity>, this seedling produces a material called <Spirit Tree Young Fruit> at fixed intervals which was used as an ingredient to make the revive item to bring back the fallen teammates. So it was an extremely useful item. That’s why the reward of 20,000 QP (20 million Mir) makes sense.

Huh, then why did Eden not keep it to itself? Well I don't think we really need it to be honest. Besides, there's also the <Mature Tree> item that's a complete upgrade to the <Seedling> series. So, even if we are going to use it, it would have to be it. Mainly because there's a limit to how many items you can install in the guild.

So, I handed it over without hesitation. That's how Phlis-sensei appeared with that limited-stock plushie. Hmm, It's still quite baffling.

Moreover, I don't quite understand why Lana and the others aren't surprised at all.

"T-This is so cute!"

Lana, who received the plushie, has an expression of rapture. Karua also quickly gathered around Lana.

"Hnn, Rika, too, come here."

"Y-Yes. Your Highness Lana, would it be alright if I touch it as well?"

"Of course, do you even need to ask! Let's all pet it together!"

Uh, what was it called? <Golden Pips-chan Plushie> right?

It has swiftly become the center of attention for all the girls.

Well, that's just a trivial matter I guess.

"Sierra, aren't you joining?"

"No, I'll have my time with it later."

Sure enough, even Sierra has come to like it. That's how many plushie lovers Eden has.

I'll have to touch it later too.

It was then Phillis-sensei spoke with a voice tinged with concern, yet also slightly relieved.

"Still, that was a huge help. <Spirit Tree Seedling> is really popular, so hardly any students actually come to deliver it even with this QP as a reward."

"Haha, I'm glad we could be of help."

Well, I do understand where her concern is coming out. In games, revival items were incredibly important, so there were only few who willingly sold them. I wonder why players used to hoard the leaves of Yggdrasil from that certain game so much.

However, since they sell for a decent amount, when I'm really short on Mir, maybe I might also sell them.

Ahem, I strayed from the topic.

Anyway, when the said item is the <Spirit Tree Seedling> that is basically a real life money plant, it's hardly surprising that there are very few willing to sell this.

Well, aside from <Eden>, it's just an outlier.

"Fortunately, I put up the plushie as an additional reward."

"............"

I so vehemently want to deny it, but I was short of words.

Apparently, Philis-sensei has come to think that <Eden> has come to deliver that rare and useful <Spirit Tree Seedling> because of the plushie.

Well, whatever works......

Looking at the blissful expression and the fun those girls are having, there's no need to unnecessarily correct that perception. Not to say that plushie looks more adorable than the actual rare monster <Gopips>.

I reckon it must have been created by a skilled artisan, judging from the cute finishing in that chibi plushie.

Incidentally, I came to hear it later but it seems like the same person had created <Mochi-chan> we have in the guild. That's why......

Anyway, we returned to the <Eden> guild room with a pleased smile on everyone's face.

It was already evening, just the time to call the day off. I was about to announce disbanding for today, when---

"What shall we name it?"

The air in the guild room takes a sudden turn at the surprising remark of Sierra.

"Name huh, that's indeed a very important matter."

"Hn. Super important."

Rika and Karua nodded in approval.

I took <Mochi-chan> in my hand and pushed it against Rika.

"Hyah! W-What are you doing, Zephyr!"

"Calm down first of all. Your eyes look as if you are going for a battle."

"Well of course. It's a grave matter. But aside from that, thank you for it."

"Mochi-Mochi."

<Mochi-chan> immediately found its place in Rika's embrace. Well, it doesn't quite fit in size-wise, but I suppose it's alright like this.

Karua also approaches and clings to <Mochi-chan>. It is kind of different from what I was expecting.

"Sierra, do you have any good ideas?"

"Ahh, Lana! When did you kidnap <Sachineko-sama>!?"

"What, what's the harm! <Sachineko-sama> would definitely want to be here!"

Just when my attention was towards Rika and Karua, Lana had put up <Sachineko-sama> on her lap. I didn't even notice when she moved and kidnapped <Sachineko-sama> you know!?

Lately, it seems as if she is getting more and more skilled at stealing <Sachineko-sama>...... I hope it is just my imagination.

"It will soon be time to go back. So let's decide on it quickly. <Gopips-chan> obviously will not work right?"

Frustrated that discussion is going nowhere, Sierra takes the helm.

"It doesn't sound cute."

"I think so too."

<Gopips> is basically a shortened version of <Golden Pips>. But seriously, why the hell developers shortened only that part?

Incidentally, Pips refers to the name of the species of this monster. Though I don't know its origin.

"It looks so cute when its sprout goes up and down, don’t you think so?"

"Then, how about <Sprout-chan>?"

Lana playfully pokes at the bud part, thoroughly enjoying herself.

She's petting <Sachineko-sama> with her left hand and poking at <Golden Pips> with her right. What a luxury. But I can't stop myself from thinking with Lana beauty in the equation, how picturesque it looks.

"Sprout-chan kind of gives a useless person vibe. How about we combine the parts and call it <Spropi-chan>?"

"That sounds good! And I think it kind of matches with its adorable appearance!"

"Hn, I also think so."

Rika instinctively rejects <Sprout-chan> and suggests another option. It might be a good decision.

Sierra and I were fine with anything so eventually, the plushie name was settled on <Spropi-chan>, a name that resonates with Lana and Karua.

With this, <Eden> welcomed yet another plushie into its already existing plethora of plushies rank.
