Hi guys, this week I’m not posting as I’m falling asleep, now what was I too tired to rant about last time? Well, I’ve forgotten most of it now 😛
The sites icon, and telling me how to add it was by Tundy, so a big thanks to him.
All projects on the site are moving, and should be around weekly, or quicker.
I’ve been pretty busy, this week I edited Shinka 15. A few people responded to the call for taking over finishing off future chapters, so someone else is working on 16. It should be up sunday or monday.
I worked on 77 & 78 of SH, MrAnon helped me finish off 77 though. A new translator was working on 77, but disappeared when it was due, thus MrAnon & I put in some extra effort for you guys on SH this week to keep things moving 🙂
MrAnon will have 79 ready for you tomorrow.
I have a copy of 80 from another new translator that I need to edit, hopefully we’ll get that up for you the following day 🙂

After breakfast, Sherry does her smithing.
“What is the next thing you should make?”\n
“A wooden walking stick, it needs two boards to make.”\n
“A walking stick like a cane? Is it different from my wand?”
I asked as I passed her the boards.
“The wand type cane strengthens the power of magic. The walking stick type cane can be used to beat monsters, as well as strengthening the power of magic a bit. Roxanne said a while ago that priests and shrine maidens will use it if they are in a vanguard position.”\n
“Ah, so it’s useful for both.”
The price is about the same, so maybe the walking stick is weaker.\n
If the strength wasn’t related to price, then the wand would be weaker.\n
For my weapon, I think the wand is better?
In the future I might find a good candidate to use the walking stick type.\n
There’s nobody for it yet, but we will probably have a difficult time in the future as the demons get stronger.\n
Someone using magic, and then attacking a demon with a walking stick that has [MP absorption] might be a good fighting style.
I don’t think I’ll be able to absorb MP with a magic attack.\n
I don’t recover MP if I have Durandal out while using magic.\n
Even if I put [MP absorption] on my wand, or a walking stick, I don’t think either would recover MP while casting.
“I’ll make it.”
Sherry has the boards, and recites the incantation for the skill.\n
A dazzling light flows out, and then stops before long.\n
A walking stick is left in her hand.
“Oh, it’s a success.”\n
“Oh, there’s supposed to be a large chance of failure if you haven’t been training for a long time, this is kind of anti-climactic.”\n
“It’s because Sherry is excellent.”
Making a walking stick from two boards leaves me with a feeling of it being wrong.\n
To begin with, it’s strange that clubs and walking sticks are made using square boards.\n
I can understand a wooden shield being made from a wooden board.\n
I can’t help but wonder about the magic that the skill uses though.
“Thank you. The wooden walking stick is a cane that also has physical attack power.”\n
“It looks like it would hurt a bit.”\n
“Aside from the walking stick, there is also a weapon called the sacred spear that strengthens magic. It’s quite valuable though, and can be hard to get outside the auctions.”\n
“Oh, there is?”
It might be a good weapon for someone in a recovery job to attack from the rear.
After smithing, I head to the merchants guild.\n
I buy the rabbit monster card from Luke.\n
I confirm it’s the real thing with [Analyze].
“I’d like to use this with the kobold monster card. Is the price for one still around 5,200 nars?”\n
“Close. The last time was 5,300 nars and the time before that was 5,200 nars.”\n
“Well, it can’t be helped, if you can get it for up to 5,400 nars then I would like it.”
People are still paying 5,200 nars for the kobold monster card.\n
I want it.\n
I need to be tenacious.\n
I want to get one soon.
The last winning bid for the kobold monster card was 5,300 nars.\n
I have to pay even more if I want one.
“I’ll get it. You just want one?”\n
“…that’s right.”
Well, Sherry won’t fail, so I just need one.\n
But, Luke can’t understand that.\n
Is there a chance of failing when fusing it with the rabbit monster card as well?\n
One kobold monster card gets me one chance.
The person who bid 5,300 nars last time might not bid anymore.\n
Maybe I didn’t need to offer 5,400 nars?\n
There’s no choice if I want to be sure to get it.
People buy it for 5,200 nars as well.\n
People will also need to buy the same number of monster cards that fuse with the one they have.\n
If they miss out on the kobold monster card, they can always go hunting for it.
If I think about it, maybe I could have waited a bit?\n
I could have saved hundreds of nars.\n
The amount of other bidders will decrease at some stage.
“Ok, I’ll aim for a kobold monster card for up to 5,400 nars.”\n
“I’d also like a goat monster card.”\n
“The goat monster card? The last successful bid was 5,000 nars.The time before last was 5,100. It might cost a bit more to obtain it immediately. It often sells from 4,700-4,800 when it’s cheap, and up to 5,400-5,500 if it’s expensive.”
Luke gives a quick answer.\n
I’ll remember it.\n
Sherry is looking at the list of bid results in the waiting room.
“That’s rather high.”\n
“The wizard is the main fire power in a party. Increasing magic attack power is the first choice for a party if they have a wizard. Also, parents of wizards are normally quite wealthy. It’s easy to go to upper floors if you have a wizard, so the price of the goat monster card goes up compared to other cards.”
So it’s a card that rich people want?
“I see, so there’s no helping it, I’ll buy a goat monster card for up to 5,400 nars.”\n
“Ok.”
You’re not going to ask if I’m fine with just one?\n
It’s a necessary monster card for me.\n
I also need more cards for [Incantation interruption], and sacrificial misanga’s, but I only need one goat monster card.
Just one will be fine.\n
I can’t mention that one is enough though.\n
Luke doesn’t need to know that Sherry will succeed every time.\n
That means I should probably buy extras.
Eventually I will need it on multiple items, so they won’t be useless.\n
I need the goat monster card quickly though, since it increases magic attack power.\n
After ordering the kobold & goat monster cards, I leave Luke.
I leave the merchants guild by walking, instead of using the wall.\n
As expected, the spear isn’t a weapon you can carry around town.\n
It’s length is over two meters.\n
Sherry said that it isn’t a weapon used by a vanguard.
“Since Sherry may need some time to get used to her new weapon, please guide us to somewhere with a small number of demons for now.”\n
“I understand.”\n
“Sherry, I know the spear isn’t easy to use as a vanguard, but please do your best.”\n
“Yes, I will.”\n
“Thinking about it again, it’s alright if there is a large number, since my cane has been upgraded as well and it should be an easier fight than before, so I’ll leave it to Roxanne’s judgement.”
First Roxanne guides us to a place with one ant.\n
NT ant Lv11 is defeated with three [Water ball]’s.\n
It became smoke before Sherry got to it with her spear.
Three.\n
It was four with the wand, so it’s an improvement.
Next, Roxane leads us to a place with one mino.\n
[Fire ball] is used.\n
I was not able to defeat it before it made it to us.
Roxanne stands in the way of the demon.\n
Sherry thrusts the spear from the side, and I throw a [Fire ball].\n
Roxanne easily evades the cow.\n
I used a total of five [Fire ball]’s.\n
The Lv11 was defeated.
It’s five? The mino doesn’t have a weakness to any kind of magic.\n
It was seven shots with the wand, and five with the rod.\n
So far so good.
So if demons on the 12th floor are 1.5 – 2x stronger, then the amount of spells needed would be 8-10.\n
It should be a reasonably tough fight on the upper floors.
