CH 69.1

Chapter 69.1. I’m Going To Raise My Proficiency Level!

-Miu’s POV-

Takano Miu, the world’s prettiest girl who people call Genshin Sena, the saint, and the princess, but she called herself Thunder Gale ran to king mantis.

Yeah, sorry, too many names. I’m omitting two names, except this one. Two names removed? I have a strong and cool soul from my previous life.

Well, it’s okay if people think I’m Sena. It’s also okay if they think I’m Takano Miu. It’s obvious. I wouldn’t say we’re different people by using recovery magic. However, recovery magic was necessary to save people attacked by the scissors mantis stampede.

I couldn’t hide my recovery magic. I knew there were going to be people who were going to die. I couldn’t just overlook them, could I?

So I have a plan to deal with it. It will soon make me have two new and different names. That’s generally going according to the plan I discussed with Frigg-oneesan.

All that’s left is to show my strength. The appearance of king mantis was somewhat unexpected, but I knew that a boss-like figure would appear. The boss was a bit stronger than I had expected, but as long as I beat him and showed the people around me that I had super-human strength. My plan will move forward. I’ll show you the success of Fast Thunder Gale.

What will everyone think when they see a 10-year-old girl defeat King Mantis?

[Stampede is in progress!]

She quickly turns off the flashing monitor display, and with a short shuffle of her arms and legs, she runs across the lawn, which has already been trampled to pieces by the iron spider and scissors mantis. I held the dagger he dropped from the Queen Ants in my tiny hand.

[Queen Dagger: Level 55. 10% increase in all stats when equipped. It has a special attack against insects. Has a unique skill]

This level 55 weapon is extremely rare. It’s one of the weapons dropped when the Queen Ant is defeated. According to the verification on the strategy site, the drop rate is 3%. It’s the result of Mii-chan’s daily efforts. You did it, Mii-chan!

The Insect Killer, a sword with a special effect on insects, is the normal drop. Its level is 45, and its unique skill’s the Insect Killer, which kills insects instantly. It’s a useful weapon.

However, from the level, the Queen Dagger is much rarer than the Insect Killer. Besides, the Queen Dagger’s unique techniques are easier to use due to its better status. It also has a higher attack power among dagger equipment and is an excellent weapon that I can use up to level 70.

When I knew I had received the dagger, I performed the Mii-chan Dance and the cart-weel technique to show my parents how happy I was. I remember how many times I had to beat the Queen Ants to get it because it was so hard to get it in the game.

I wiggled my body, waved my hands in the air, and danced as hard as I can. My mom baked cookies for me as a snack and thanked me for showing her how cute I looked.

And I’m equipped with another guaranteed drop ring. It’s a shiny silver ring. It’s a seemingly cheap ring with tiny rubies that look like toys.

[Queen Ring: Level 52, HP+100, MP+100, with unique skills.]

It has a simple performance, but I like its unique technique, so I used it many times in the game. In addition to these two pieces of equipment, I equipped [Thief’s Cloak of Evasion], [Blindness Disabling Sunglasses], and [Thief’s Shoes], and that’s the equipment I have now. The bandit series is at level 10, so I’m weak. I’ll have to increase my [Mechanic] proficiency next time.

King mantis is fighting with the remaining iron spiders. Only about 2000 juveniles and 100 adults are left around king mantis.

I think I’ll use [Examine], just in case.

[Scissors Mantis: Level 14, Weakness: Fire]

[Greater Mantis: Level 31, Weakness: Fire]

The juvenile is Scissors Mantis. The adult is Greater Mantis. Do you get the idea? They are small fry. Even after killing 1,000 juvenile scissors mantis, my level only increased by one. Even after killing a few adult scissors mantis, I had no luck. So, I made it easy for them.

With [Cyclone Blade], martial arts of [Thief III].

I charged into the crowd on top of the tanks, which were no longer scrap iron, while the tankmen struggled alone.

[Cyclone Blade]

When I put my foot on the grass, I spin around as a fulcrum and swing my dagger. The red blade glints and the sword blade flies away as a tornado winds around me.

I hear a cutting sound, and the scissors mantis and the others get sliced to pieces. The Cyclone Blade is a ranged-attack martial art. The ranged-attacking techniques are weak. That’s probably to differentiate them from magic. And the thief’s ranged attack is even weaker than a normal ranged attack. Even the queen dagger, which has a special attack against insects, leaves a lot behind.

In the game, it was used as a comfort when everyone was doing ranged attacks. When I’m hunting for small fries. I would hunt weaker enemies with the ranged attack. I never used it, but in reality, it would be different.

After all, an enemy with almost all of its HP cut off would become unable to move. They’re weak enemies. If I had even 1 HP left, I would move normally.

So, I don’t move when an enemy is dying. Since they can’t move even if they’re half-cut, I leave them to the ladies who chase after them from behind.

When wounded, the enemy’s movement becomes slower and slower. It was a great discovery. The Queen Ant becomes stronger, so I need to be careful because it is not always possible.

[Thief III’s proficiency has increased to 4!]

I heard a happy sound, “Chalala~.”. It seems that my proficiency level has increased again. That’s wonderful. With a relieved look, I cheerfully cut down and discard the scissors mantis. The stampede event’s the stage for earning proficiency, right? As a reward for protecting everyone, I’ll gratefully accept it. It’s priceless, so this is as good as it gets, right?

In the game, the monster stampede event was just many monsters showing up as a replacement during the battle. See, it’s a turn-based game: 3 to 5 monsters, one battle. It was the same effect as in “I Called My Companion,” with the specification that if you annihilated them all, additional enemies would appear behind you.

In the game, you need to repeat the battle 15 times in a row, and once you defeat all the monsters, you clear the stampede event. The delicious reason’s that this battle is calculated as having been fought 15 times. So it was a convenient way to earn proficiency.

What would it be like in real life? You’re always in battle mode, and enemies appear in droves.

The correct answer is that if you defeated 3 of them, it’s get treated as a single battle. It was a battle. I thought it was strange because my proficiency level was going up so fast, so I was looking at my proficiency level during the battle. Then, I found it was treated as one battle when I calculated 3 monsters. …The calculation may be slightly different, but I hope you can forgive me for that with a smile on my face.

Moreover, my ranged attack can target up to 36 monsters of the same species. So, I would be able to earn 12 battles. I’ll have to get this. That’s the chance god has given me.
