Now then . Having separated from the information room, news club group, we are back to having dinner with a small number of people .
Today is grilled fish . With miso soup, fish stew and rice .
Weāve been having karaage and barbecue, so I chose a meal kind on the stomach .
balanced
And during the meal, we reported our own progress and decided the future direction .
āFor now, it will be intensive training for the gladiator tournament . ā
āSo, even if Maito can do something with that for the first round of Mono, what about Tri and Nona?ā
āEven if at worst we make do with 9v8 in Nona, it will be tough if she canāt fight in Tri . ā
Yeah~ .
Even if the first round of the Mono section somehow works out with the one-trick combo of hovering and [Lullaby], Iāll be revealing my hand then, so I canāt use it for Tri and Nona .
At worst, I might be able to focus on running and defense and somehow hide for the Nona section, but for Triā¦ā¦Iām not useful at all, itās a little, no, very bad .
āAt worst, we need you to be able to dodge . Honestly, I donāt think I will have the leisure to heal you . ā
I will be teaming with Suzumoto and Hagasaki-kun for the Tri section .
They are not the type to draw enemies away and fight .
Or rather, it was organised with Dalia-san, someone to fill the hit-and-away position .
Leaving the front line to Suzumoto alone is slightly unsettling . In the first place, Suzumoto is partially a hit-and-away type anyway .
So even if I canāt be part of the front line, the balance will be a little too bad unless I can imitate a hit-and-away fighter .
But my possible means of attack are limited .
1 is a strategy of deploying the puppets and poking away with needles .
But I can only control two types of puppets, wolves and maids .
If I made the maid-san puppets hold swords, it seems it is decided that they are not maids at that point and I can no longer move them .
So the maid-san puppetās weapons are kitchen knives, scissors or needles .
ā¦ā¦this is miserable .
Another 1 is if I can bomb them from the air, this seems like a good plan .
For thisā¦ā¦I probably have to keep [teleporting] into the sky and scatter poison I guess?
This is also terrible .
Mhm~ā¦ā¦other than this, thenā¦ā¦ah, yeah . I have the most resistances .
Poison and acid barely affect me and I also have resistance to pain . I even recover fast .
Hm, then canāt I just be a shield?
And when I tried saying that, it was instantly rejected .
According to them, I canāt recover if I die in one hit .
Hm, quite right .
Even with resistances, my defense and HP are paper .
so what now
āFor now, just practice dodging . ā
āFor now practice against sword and fist? Iāll do sword with my staff, Suzumoto do fist . ā
āOkay~ā
Somehow the two pitiful people that have to group with me have steeled themselves, so I ended up going through terribly severe training the next day .
rip maito
Okay, good morning .
Iāve missed this fluffy smooth soft damp feeling .
After greeting Ketorami and Hanter, they went out for breakfast . Have a nice trip~ .
Now then, Iāll also be preparing breakfast .
Today is bread . Bread with thinly sliced smoked meat that has been heated, vegetable soup and fruit ham, the usual pattern .
And as everyone woke up while I was preparing, we quickly finished breakfast .
start~
And training begins!
āThen, Iāll start hitting, so dodge . ā
And the instant he said that, Hagasaki-kun swung his staff down at a terrifying speed and hit my head .
āOufu . ā
āI said dodge . ā
āNo, impossible impossible impossible! I couldnāt see that!ā
It was seriously fast! I canāt see it! How do I dodge something I canāt see!? Impossible!
āā¦ā¦then work on being able to see it, okay, next . ā
Next came from the side and hit me .
āNext . ā
Next was from diagonally above .
āā¦ā¦next . ā
Next was from bottom left .
āā¦ā¦ . hey . ā
āLe, letās stopā¦ā¦Maitoās life is already 0ā¦ā¦ā
ā[Clear Stream] . Here, your life points recovered . Next . ā
De, demon!
namu
But no matter how impossible it is, there is the possibility it will become a skill if I keep going and nothing will start unless I try .
For now, I carefully observed Hagasaki-kun and tried moving right by instinct .
ā¦ā¦a clean hit landed from the right .
āā¦ā¦it will work out with more practice, probably . ā
Mhm, it really would be nice if that is the case .
donāt bully the maid!
But practice is amazing .
Somehow, after practicing for 2 hours, I managed to dodge 1 every 10 times .
And even if not, I became able to dodge a clean hit .
But this is only for the case of the magician Hagasaki-kun . And he should also be holding back quite a bit .
A real swordsman would make faster and sharper attacks .
Ue~, scary scary .
But I canāt run . if I can at least draw one person away and keep dodging, I think Suzumoto can take them down one by one .
ā¦ā¦whether the opponent will let me draw away a third of their fighting strengthā¦ā¦letās not think about that .
random magic from behind, maid down
āAnd next is fists, it should be easier to read than a sword, but it will come sequentially . ā
āUshaa! come at me!ā
This time is training with Suzumoto .
I worked on becoming able to dodge the fists and occasional kicks, or otherwise guard against them .
Ugeh, I know heās holding back quite a lot, but this is still tough!
But there are definitely results from the training with Hagasaki-kun, after practicing for 2 hours here too, I can dodge about 30% if Iām focusing on his movements .
Hmā¦ā¦but, this is not becoming a skill .
If it doesnāt become a skill after doing this much, this probably wonāt become a skill .
Canāt be helped, I can only polish my player skill . Dammit~ .
no game assist
I made, ate, fed them lunch and training continues .
This time Suzumoto is using his katanaās sheath to hit me .
This doesnāt work even if Iām focusing on his movements . When I think of dodging it has already hit .
The saving grace is that he is using some amazing godly move to kill the momentum the instant it hits so there isnāt much damage even when it hits .
But I still became covered in bruises, had Hagasaki-kun heal me with [Clear Stream] and kept practicing dodging until evening .
Iāve already given up on gaining a skill and the results of devoting myself to polishing my own player skill, somehow~, somehow~, if I donāt relax and try my bestā¦ā¦with Suzumoto holding back, I actually became able to dodge 60% of his sword strikes .
ā¦ā¦humans really have endless possibilities .
good progressā¦ā¦?
And until the gladiator tournament, I just kept training .
The saving grace is that once I became able to dodge, it became fun, so it wasnāt that much suffering .
I was receiving damage everywhere, so I got the [Greatly Increased Recovery Speed] skill . Wrong, thatās not it . Thatās not it, give me a dodging skill!
itās something
Other than that, we practiced coordination .
It took a lot of effort to find an effective way to fight with me included, mhm . But we found quite a good way to fight .
That is, [Cleaning] . If I can erase the blade of the opponentās weapon with this, itās perfect!
ā¦ā¦just that, this method, if I started fighting with a feather duster and used [Cleaning], it will be plainly obvious I am an otherworld person .
This can also be said for the lullaby strategy for the first round of the Mono section, but this has already been solved .
Yes . Itās fine if Iām not suspicious . Basically, itās fine if I can make it [Thatās not skill just magic or a simple attack!] [Wh, whaaaat!?] right?
Then the lullaby strategy is simple . I just need to go with a staff .
If I act like Iām using magic and sing them to sleep, I think I can cover it up .
Eh, I canāt? But here is an otherworld quality . At worst, I can just say it is a [Lost Blessing] on the staff .
ā¦ā¦ . . works?
And as for the cleaning strategy in the Tri section .
For this, Katori made me a wonderful present!
It is a very light spear made of a strange metal .
Spear . Very spear . But itās true nature is not a spear .
This spear, at itās tipā¦ā¦a tassel is attached .
Yes . You can already tell right?
I will be using it as a feather duster . This is a perfect camouflage .
It is also a feather duster with a long reach, so itās easy to [Clean]!
And this spear, itās spearhead is a blade, a partisan-type spear .
So even if the opponentās weapon suddenly disappeared, I can just say āI cut through it!āā¦ā¦is what I want to think . Mhm .
ā¦ . noā¦ā¦just no
So until the gladiator tournament, I got used to handling this spear duster and also made clothes easy to move around in for the Tri section .
This clothes are clothes purely specialised in defense .
A light jacket with a shirt and slim trousers . I chose knee-high boots for shoes .
And they are all made of pure white cloth with golden embroidery .
This golden thread is something I made from the knowledge gained from the [Compounder] skill .
By spinning thread while [compounding] [Prayer Song], oh my, plain unbleached fiber became shining gold thread!
ā¦ā¦compounding a song, what kind of situation is this! is what I thought, but thanks to that, I managed to make strange clothes with super high defense, so I will accept it .
The effect is [Protection] .
When I equip this, my defense is, behold, 3rd place together with Kariya in his chain mail!!
Uwah~, otherworld qualities are amazing .
when cloth is on par with chain mailā¦ .
And I made additions to everyoneās equipment, those that had manufacturing skills made new equipment, and as we did that, the day for the gladiator tournament finally arrived .
