「Now confess.」
「What might you be talking about?」
Managed to safely descend to the second stratum, as we were resting, tired from the boss battle, the time limit to return came about.
If we had continued to get entangled by the Goblin Lord as we were, we might have ended up running out of time.
It sure was worth it to take the trouble of activating my skills.
And yet, for some reason, I am being questioned.
「What the heck was that thunder magic, or rather that blackish cotton candy looking thing you rode? Why did you take off your clothes in the first place? Spill it out.」
「Calm down.」
During dinner on the day we dive into the dungeon, it’s become customary to hold a somewhat sumptuous evaluation meeting at the student cafeteria.
But today we are having a shabby dinner of bento and takeaway dishes at ShizukaxMai’s room at Hakutsuru-sou.
With six people in the room, as expected it’s a bit cramped, but it’s also exciting in its own way, like a sleepover party.
「Rather, is that kaboom really a magic skill? No, if it isn’t, then what in the world it is, though.」
「My legs turned into jelly….」
「For it to pierce through the floor, it was quite the electrical discharge, but it was harmless to us, wasn’t it?」
Shizuka and the others are picking up takoyaki and French fries.
I’d like to eat some too, or rather, I wonder if it is okay to undo my seiza.
「By all means.」
「Please.」
Miharu and Natsumi, waiting upon me on either side of me, reverently hold the food in their hands and serve it to me.
Even if they offer me salt, raw rice and sake, it’s somewhat troubling.
Also, why the worship?
Is it a new kind of bullying?
When they went to the student cafeteria, they must have bought various stuff in fluster.
「It seems to be called mike. I was told by both of them that I should feed it to you, so umm, Touma-san.」
「Later.」
These raw daikon or carrots, I’d like them at least to be cut into sticks and added with mayonnaise.
GP is considerably slower to recover compared to SP, but as I’m being taken care of by the twin sisters, I feel like its recovery is speeding up.
And, it will also recover by doing something erotic.
「Say, Touma. I can understand your feeling of wanting to keep your trump card hidden.」
Seiichi crosses his arms and nods to himself, but such intentions, I have nothing of the sort whatsoever.
「But you know, we’re now comrades, aren’t we? And you know what? In the dungeon, you went like… whizzing to the air, taking your clothes off, and so on, as expected even our mind would go blank upon being shown such a spectacle. It’s hard to keep up with, you get what I mean, don’t you? Rather, get it.」
「Same here, I thought I had gotten somewhat accustomed to your absurd antics, Touma-kun, but I guess I’d like you to let me prepare myself first….」
You’re totally right.
If I were to see a nude Seiichi shining and flying in the air, even I’d be somewhat surprised.
But I wonder how I should explain it.
「That was a skill that my class can use, I think. It’s unregistered, so I don’t know what it’s called.」
Perhaps, it’s a move called Navel Snatch or something.
「Come to think of it, it was a class called『Apprentice』 or something, right? … Hey, what kind of apprentice is it?」
「… Thunder God. The official name is『Thunder God Apprentice (Raijin Jr.)』, or so it’s written in Interface.」
If they retort to it, I’ll have no choice but to respond to it.
And if they say「Let’s go to the dungeon in tiger hide underwear」 or something, I think I’ll leave the party.
「Raijin-sama… Ah, I think I can somewhat understand now.」
「So there’s also such a class, huh.」
Mai and Saki accept it in a light manner.
Shizuka knew about it from the beginning since she could see my Interface.
As for Miharu and Natsumi, let’s stop worshiping me.
「… As expected it’s not in the list. It’s a completely unknown class. Why the heck did you choose such a questionable class?」
「Don’t ask.」
Seiichi, who seems to be doing a database search on his student handbook, heaves out a sight and scratches his head.
Rather, even though his was turned into scrap just like mine, he seems to have switched it with a brand new one without me knowing.
「It doesn’t seem to be specialized in merrymaking like that of SSR classes, and it doesn’t seem to be a class that is specialized in a single aspect like that of rare classes either.」
「In my opinion, I wonder if it’s not a rare class of『Arts User (Magi)』 branching that specializes in thunder magic?」
「No, the magic skills you use are, you see, different from the norm….」
「I don’t know of any games that feature magicians who is apt at exchanging blows with a Boss monster, though.」
I wonder if that’s not dependent on equipment.
Like conversion type items that turn magical energy to attack power.
The six-foot rod, which is called whatever gear or something, has such a scent to it.
「You once blew off goblin’s head with your punch, didn’t you?」
「It’s like a tonfa. There is a significance to having it equipped.」
Moreover, in common RPGs, there are many cases of equipment categories being only equippable depending on the class, but it’s not like there’s such a restriction here.
In fact, I think only the『Fighter』 branching classes, which offer physical strength and stamina correction, will be able to equip heavy armor.
Even Saki, who has turned into a『Sword Master』, can carry an axe with ease.
It’s just『Sword Master』 skills such as『Flash Attack (Scud)』 will mostly likely be disabled.
Such a weapon dependent skill is extremely few in number, so Miharu can also pray『Bless us』 or something without worry while wearing a full plate mail.
But for now, let’s stop and eat the dinner first.
「I thought it was so like a vanguard class, but well, I suppose there’s no problem with it, right? It’s an extremely fishy class, though.」
「Yeah. Everything is alright, no problem. Class change has now become possible again.」
「Huh?」
After we defeated the Goblin Lord, my『Thunder God Apprentice』 reached level 10 and the class change pop-up display appeared.
The timing is just right, so let’s try discussing it.
「I think what our party currently needs is a tank, the role of a shield.」
「Umm, even now, I believe you are handling this role without any problems, Touma-san.」
「Qu~i~te, berserker-like, though. But it’s not like there’s any problem with the current class style, is there?」
「Superior class of『Fighter』 branching, 『Knight』, huh. True enough, I’d love to have a tank, but I don’t think it’s possible for you to hold a shield and defending, right, Touma?」
「He’s going to swing the huge shield and smash the monster, right? I can imagine it.」
I wonder if everyone’s image of me is that of a barbarian.
「I think your current class is strong enough, though. But well, for now, tell me the option list first. I have a feeling that there are some weird rare classes among them.」
No one but Shizuka can see it, so let’s write them down on paper.
I had a feeling that I would end up misfiring again if I opened the list in the dungeon, so I didn’t check it.
I touch the class name and let the list box pop up.
From the other members’ point of view, I’m merely waving my finger in a dubious movement, so it’s somewhat embarrassing.
Hmm, the candidates for my class change have decreased in number.
I wonder why there are no downgraded class change options.
