Chapter 34




Translator: Shaini | Editor: Darling
 
After buying the weapon Selesina, Hisui and Toi headed to the village to inform them about the schedule.
There were 2 main things that they needed to do today.
She had to have a meeting with Anton about the blessing ceremony. It would take about 10 days to reach the great shrine so they had to leave before the 30th day of the month of autumn.
The second was about the weapons that they bought today. She wanted to keep the spirit balls in the village for emergencies. With a spirit ball, it was possible to defeat or repel even the most ferocious beasts.
‘I have to quickly defeat the monsters and increase the level!’
It was easy to find 1000 beasts in the game but this was real life now.
It was going to be hard work to defeat so many beasts.
Additionally as a real person…………fighting was her biggest concern.
Selesina was wondering if she would do well when Toi barked.
[Woof]
“Ara Toi. What happened?”
[Woof Woof]
“Fufu, it tickles.”
Toi came to her to play and Selesina couched down to hug him.
It seemed like he wanted to encourage her since she was feeling anxious.
“Thank you, Toi. I’ll do my best!”
[Woof!]
Having this soft and adorable Toi encourage her, she felt like she could even defeat 1000 beasts.
‘Unn, I can do it! The great tree has also bloomed, I can definitely do it!!’
Let’s be positive.
“Lady Sele, I spoke to Anton so we can go to his house…………are you playing?”
“Hisui!”
Hisui had confirmed that Anton was at home and returned. Toi stepped away from her maturely.
Or so she thought. He was now playing with Hisui.
‘……………Could it be that he just wanted to play?’
She smiled thinking about that.
“Let’s go to Mr. Anton’s house then.”
“Yes.”
4 types of spirit balls were lined up on his table. 2 of each type.
Anton’s eyes flew open in shock that he couldn’t hide.
He glanced over it earnestly and then anxiously looked at Selesina.
“Lady Selesina, this is……….I think that these are spirit balls but…….”
“Yes. The security in this village still isn’t enough that’s why I prepared these for protection. If something happens then please use these to protect yourselves.”
Anton slowly let out a breath and picked up one spirit ball.
“This is my first time seeing them. It’s good if you can even have one of these so to have these many…….it wasn’t something that we could get our hands on.”
He returned the spirit ball to the table and smiled happily.
“Thank you, Lady Selesina. If something happens, I swear to protect the village with these.”
Hearing his unexpected but sincere oath, Selesina felt that she could leave the village in his hands. He would cherish the village and protect the future of the children.
“Thank you, Mr. Anton. But please don’t push yourself too hard okay?”
Sometimes it’s better to run instead of fighting. Just because there was a spirit ball it didn’t mean that fighting was necessary.
“Understood. Life comes first.”
“Yes.”
She was relieved hearing Anton’s words…………next she needed to confirm the schedule.
“It’s about the ceremony so won’t it be better if Gisele heard it too?”
“Ahh, that would be good. I think she should be at the fields right now let me call her.”
He got up from his chair, opened the door, and called out to her.
“Gisele—“
The field was close to his house so he would be audible.
“Yes! Grandpa Anton, what is it?”
Gisele came running and entered the house.
“Ah, Lady Selesina! Good afternoon!!”
“Good afternoon Gisele. I’ll talk about the ceremony for blessings now.”
“Waaa ceremony for blessings! I’m so happy, I’m really looking forward to it!”
The 5-year-old Gisele smiled like a blooming flower.
She had light pink hair that was tied back at both sides and decorated with flowers. Her white apron was slightly dirty. She had probably been working in the fields.
“It’ll be nice to know your blessings right?”
“Yes!”
Selesina, Hisui, Anton, and Gisele sat around the table and Hisui explained the schedule.
“It takes about 10 days to reach the great shrine so we’ll leave around the 30th of the month of autumn. I’ll contact you once again with the exact date once we are closer to it. I’ll prepare the carriage so don’t worry.”
“Understood.”
“Yeesss!”
Anton nodded and Gisele responded with enthusiasm. She wanted to the seal f her blessings quickly.
‘I must prepare a carriage for this village.’
There were a lot of things that she needed to buy before a carriage so the carriage would be postponed for now. Morris would be attending his ceremony in the month of spring next year so she would have the carriage prepared by then.
Soratek had mentioned inadvertently that he would come along to the great shrine as well. He would obviously come in a separate carriage but the villagers hadn’t really interacted with him………
It’ll be good if it doesn’t end up into something big. Selesina had to write a letter to Soratek about the schedule as well………She was thinking about various things.
After discussing the schedule with Anton at his place they went to water the great tree, greet the villagers, and then to hunt the monsters.
“Let’s start with weak prey first.”
“That would be good. I think we can start with Flower Rabbits.”
The demon that Hisui suggested was the weakest in the game. It’s a white rabbit and it had a flower growing on his head. It was treated as a mascot.
The flower on its head doesn’t really wither so it’s often used as gifts.
After riding the carriage for an hour they reached the forest where the flower rabbit is found. There was a grassland in front of the forest. The flower rabbit eats grass for food in the afternoon and it returns to its den in the forest at night.
It would be difficult to hit it from here but even if they were able to confront it, it wouldn’t be dangerous either.
“I’ll draw the attention of the flower rabbit with my sword so Lady Sele please shoot the arrow.”
“Understood.”
Hisui went to the border between the grassland and the forest and exclaimed after a few minutes.
“It’s there!”
Selesina’s body began to tremble. It was already time to hunt……….her heart was pounding.
‘It’s alright, let’s breathe deeply first!’
*Inhale *Exhale *Inhale *Exhale
Hisui had stopped the forward movement of the flower rabbit with his sword. The flower rabbit seemed angry and he began to attack Hisui………he didn’t seem to take any damage.
She was relieved and she prepared the bow and arrow.
The bow was small and light, convenient for a girl like Selesina.
It was made with a slim piece of wood.  It wasn’t very powerful but it could fly to a certain distance.
“…………..Nn?”
When she prepared the bow and arrow, she suddenly noticed.
‘If I attack from here then I might end up hitting Hisui.’
There was no chance of hitting your friend in the game but this was reality.
Selesina had never trained in archery before now.
‘I must make Hisui leave from there.’
“Hisui it’s difficult for me to aim so please create a little distance?”
“Ah, that’s right……”
Hisui tried to create some distance between him and the flower rabbit but the flower rabbit continued to attack him.
If he really tried to escape from here then the flower rabbit may end up running away.
“………..Ahh.”
Selesina let out a silent sigh. There was no way out.
“It will be difficult for me to defeat it now so can you please defeat it?”
“Understood.”
She requested Hisui to defeat it since there was no other way. Hisui sliced his sword from bottom up and the flower rabbit was defeated in the blink of an eye. Its flower fell off its head.
“Let’s start by doing some target practice first.”
“………Yes, please do prepare it.”
It seems like it would be pretty difficult to reach ‘Blessings of the Amulet Level 2’.
