Intuition and analysis
I was amazed after hearing Raphtalia’s story.
Rather……It was expected.
Shopping at the market and visiting tourist spots, crossing the sea during a beautiful sunset.
Then, the next day, showing off and being cool while acting all handsome.
Though it seems Raphtalia and Firo didn’t fall for it.
Naofumi:”How should I put it……”A toast to your eyes.” you say, Is this the Showa Era?! Did you not have any lines that is a little more effective?”
Motoyasu:”In this world, all the older women were pleased with that……”
Ah, was it learnt from experience?……In any case, think about who your partner was.
Though it is probably my fault, Raphtalia was raised with efficiency as a principle. Those who show leadership will have a higher evaluation.
Firo:”The person with the spear complimented onee-chan a lot.”
Raphtalia:”What did you come here to fight for? Did you come here to hit on girls?”
Raphtalia continues to attack the dejected Motoyasu.
Are you denying Motoyasu’s reason for existence?
Raphtalia:”If you do such a thing, when you encounter a formidable enemy , your companions won’t be able to help you!”
After declaring that, Raphtalia returned.
Raphtalia:”Is the next exchange tomorrow?”
Naofumi:”Ah, yeah……”
That’s amazing. To make Raphtalia this angry……
It was during the results of the duel.
Well, that was Motoyasu’s fault as well; Motoyasu himself is mopping about over there.
Woman1:”That reminds me, where did Bitch and company go?”
Woman1 was listening to the story too? She was comforting Motoyasu with a hand on his shoulder.
Naofuimi:”Even though a day was wasted, experience still increased……”
Naofumi:”No, that’s not what I mean Raphtalia.”
When listening to the story during the activation, contrasting with her usual habit of composure, her voice is full of emotion.
Hm?
Woman 1 came over to us and said.
Woman1:”Is that assassin still watching?”
Woman1:”Then I’ll supplement. Motoyasu-sama goes off and hunts alone at night.
Naofumi:”…………”
I think I just gave a very unpleasant look.
An image of a cool hard-working guy pops up, to make an effort in secret here, it seems a little strange.
Naofumi:”You think I have control of Shadow?”
Woman1:”Maybe.”
Hmm, it isn’t a bad hand to present yourself stronger to your comrades.
Above all, Motoyasu’s date plan needs to be investigated, but there isn’t enough time.
That means this guy isn’t thinking about leveling. so he’s fooling around.
In the first place, the biggest drawback of this is.
For me who can only use a shield to defend, a companion is essential.
There is also the fatigue of constant night battles accumulating.
Of course, it is also limited to hunting the demons that appear only at night.
Naofumi:”Oh right. Raphtalia”
Raphtalia:”What is it?”
We talk in whispers so that it won’t reach Motoyasu and them.
Naofumi:”How does Motoyasu fight?Is there something special you have to do, Like when fighting with me?”
Raphatalia:”Yup, the demons are not dismantled, the weapon isn’t changed…… The weapon absorbs the same way as Naofumi-sama’s.”
Hmm……It feels like there are corners being cut.
There are those kinds of Net Games.
Raphtalia:”Though……He took a tool out of the spear.”
Raphtalia:”Yup. It was different from a tool that was absorbed.”
A tool from a spear……How was it done?
At last, a chance to get proper information has appeared.
Naofumi:”Motoyasu, There’s something I want to ask–”
The Motoyasu that should have been absent mindedly sitting there disappeared.
When I want to ask they are gone!
When did they disappear!?
Firo:”The person with the spear returned with that woman. They apologized to onee-chan.”
Naofumi:”I-I see.”
That’s quick…..I wanted some time to exchange information.
What Motoyasu does, may not be the same as Ren and Itsuki.
Well, there are a lot of disadvantages, but there are also many benefits.
Though during the activation, it’s only a matter of time before their secrets are exposed.
At least I learnt that Motoyasu has something that I don’t know.
If I was Motoyasu, I would refuse the staff exchange, and during the activation, work hard and level up.
It might be simple to turn down if I think about efficiency. However, I may only find out here.
My intuition is telling me that it would be wrong to decline it.
There is something.
Those three heroes, without fail, are hiding something other than level.
Because if it’s just level, then it would be no different from adventurers.
This is supported by my knowledge and experience of Net Games up until now.
There is also the possession of rare items via financial power.
How many times have I encountered a person with only high Levels?
In a Net game, the administration makes equipment and rare items through trail and error that become important.
Therefore, the appearance of funds, organization strength, and rare items is required.
This world is not a game, but for some reason those three heroes still think that this is a game; I am curious.
Beginner relief and Class Up promotions. Are job changes similar to a game?
In guilds, the members that have reached the level limit will help the new members in raising their levels.
Because Motoyasu was so laid-back, there was a similar feeling.
There is also a possibility of using the remaining six days after the exchange completed.
Ah……
Naofumi:”Shadow”
Naofumi:”Is there some kind of law during activation? Like rumors, theories, even something that has low credibility is alright.”
Shadow:”……When I participated in the activation of Cal Mira Island, The experience worsens after Classing Up at level 80 degojaru. Of course, I entered more after that degojaruka, there is an upper limit to the inhabiting demons degojaru.”
Right on the money huh.
There is an upper limit……just like a game.
If I had the same gaming knowledge as those guys, I might have fallen under the illusion that this world is a game as well.
I can roughly grasp the level of their party by counting backwards from here.
It is safe to assume that everyone can reach level 80 in at least a few days.
I know that in games, regardless of what, it is just a calculation.
I feel like looking at a Walkthrough for net games.
However, the mystery has gotten even deeper.
Though, why are they equal to me when I use the Wrath Shield?
Moreover, when fighting the pope, there was also an ability above him.
The mysteries don’t end.
While deliberating such thoughts deeply, and returning to the hotel, Motoyasu was forgotten about.
