The things we needed to do were clear now. We left Break to cool off a little bit while Emul and I went on an excursion to find the âGuiding Lightâ for the weapon Aradval. But to leave Break together with Weissash like thatâŠâŠ No, itâs not that I thought something bad was going to happen. I was just a little bit worried that people who usually tend to weapons might not be all that good with basic social stuff such as communication, is all.
ăThat is why, Emul, we are going to do to Thirdrema for the first time in a while.ă
ăWahâŠâŠ I canât say that I have good memories of that place. No, sir.ă
ăYeah, I get it. When we arrived there we were chased by Pencilgton and her goons and all that other stuffâŠâŠă
I knew it, it is better to be ready to dish out some nasty Divine Punishment wherever you goâŠâŠ Oh, not good, not good, It is a bad etiquette to bring the Bakumatsu playstyle and mindset to another game. But still, being surrounded by other players would still sometimes get me on edge, and I would expect being attacked at any minute now.
That is why at first I wanted to go to the Crystal Scorpion Cliff in order to bring myself back to normal. But then I gave up on that idea. This form would actually work to my advantage. I mean, in my normal form there still may be people who are after me, so why risk it?
ăAlright Emul, itâs time to do some Girls Talk real quick.ă
If there is one thing I regret from playing this game, it is the fact that I did not take a screenshot of Emulâs expression when he heard me say those words. Because it was truly pricelessâŠâŠ
ăYou see, Emul, Iâm afraid that I do not possess all that much girl power on my own, so we need to fix that. Think of it like boosting your statistics or obtaining a better gear.ă
ăS-SanraâŠâŠ ko-san, even if you tell me that, I donât know how to react to thatâŠâŠ!ă
Here in ShangriLa Frontier, you can costumize your appearance as much as you want, but there is one thing that you cannot really change or fix: your vocal cords! Therefore the Blue Holy Grail truly shines in here, since it changes both your appearance and voice as well! A perfect camouflage!
Even my name is going to work in my favor here! All this time everyone assumes that âSanrakuâ is a male name, but it is something that can also be read as a female name! Thatâs another layer of protection!
ăI mean, I have been meaning to ask this for a while now, but why do you even have clothes fit for a woman to wear on youâŠâŠ?ă
ăI mean, it is a given, donât you think? When you change your sex, you must be given appropriate clothesâŠâŠ Otherwise it would be really weird.ă
Thatâs a lie. While I was still in my male form I asked Break to make some womenâs clothes for me, just in case I would need them for some roleplay. But I donât want Emul to know about it. Especially I donât want him to know about that look that Break had given me, as if I was a walking pile of burnable trash. It was for the right cause butâŠâŠ that still stung quite a lot.
ăNow, now, letâs get ourselves some Girl Power alright!ă
ăUwahâŠâŠ For Sanrako-san to try to act like a normal girl, thatâs actually kind of creepy in its own rightâŠâŠă
Haha, what was that? Even I, the mighty Sanraku, can pretend to act like a cute and adorable little girl, you know? Because thatâs the power of roleplay!
ăWoah, talk about an equipment that I have never seen beforeâŠâŠ Itâs really cute, where can I possibly get one for myself?ă
ăWait, Sanraku!? Could it beâŠâŠ!?ă
ăNah, man. That guy is supposed to be a male character, remember?ă
ăOh well, I guess that maybe I got that name wrong.ă
ăâŠâŠ But still, doesnât that person look as if she was on fireâŠâŠ?ă
ăWho knows? Maybe her armor gives her such a visual effect?ă
ăBut just look at her! She looks so plain, just like your typical girl next door, but she is so pretty at the same time!ă
ăHer voice is that of a female as well. Hey, letâs try to hit on her!ă
ăYou idiot, you do that and then what? No matter how you look at it, sheâs a high level player? What could you possibly talk to her about?ă
ăOh, you know. About this and about thatâŠâŠă
ăBut if it would have been the other way aroundâŠâŠ That would have been a dream come true.ă
Honestly, should I feel happy about all those words of praise that were coming my way? Or should I feel more disturbed by them? No matter how you look at it, thatâs one pretty crazy power, Kutanid, you bastard! âŠâŠ But that fact made all that hard work at the bottom of the sea worth it.
The very first moment that I left Thirdrema, I activated the Overflow effect and started running. I guess that it wonât be good for Emul, but he needs to bare with me for a while hereâŠâŠ Ah, but donât you dare kick my cheeks with those bunny legs of yours! They may be small, but right now it would be more than enough to kill me! I have about one HP left here, so I hope that you are aware of that!
ăStop whining out there! Here, drink this! You should feel better!ă
After we both recovered from the statuses that were afflicting us, I have found myself right in front of the supposedly inactive volcano, which was right there in the open.
I do realize that the ancient ruins are probably the highest place on this continent, but this supposed volcano was nothing to scoff at, either. Looking up at it, it was certainly giving you some sort of an intimidating feeling.
ăWell, soon enough I am going to be the one who is going to be intimidating everyone else around here.ă
ăWahâŠâŠ Some big words. But that climb does not look to be an easy one.ă
Maybe so, but I think it is not going to be so bad. I mean, thanks to the Luukanâs Carved Wounds monsters that are weaker than me wonât even dare to approach us, so this is really going to be nothing more but a mountain climb, pure and simple.
ăBut! But! How do you plan to even get to the bottom of that lake once we get there!?ă
ăBy means of the INVENTORY, of course.ă
ăAhhâŠâŠă
This is going to write yet another page in the book describing the legend of the INVENTORYâŠâŠ No matter how you look at it, this ability is just too good! Itâs downright broken! Getting transported to another space without any form of interruption!
This time around, it is not going to be used for battle, but for the breathing purposes! And the best part here is that once I get back from there, I shall reappear exactly in the place from which I have left! This is indeed the strongest possible ability of them all!
