The World Is Overflowing with Monster, I'm Taking a Liking to This Life 41 Slow Grind With Momo and Aka with me, I started to scout out the town once again. Well, to be exact, Aka was not walking. I was 'wearing' it in a way. "This doesn't feel too weird…" I say as I feel the jacked that Aka had turned into. Its texture and comfortableness were no different than any other clothing. If anything, it might have been more comfortable than most clothes. As for weight, well, it was a little heavier than what was usual, but it was no problem for me now that my stats had gone up. It was an amazing skill. "…(shaking)" "Ah, sorry, Aka. Did that tickle?" Aka shuddered as I rubbed at the material with my fingers. Apparently, I wasn’t supposed to touch it too much. But wearing it was fine. That was a little confusing to understand… I had done some checking in regards to Aka’s mimicking skill, and it seemed that it could mimic anything that it has ever eaten. As a test, I fed it utensils, garbage, and clothing from the item box. And Aka mimicked them all without any problems. However, it seemed that the things could not be too small or too big. They had to be somewhat in line with its original size. And so I had it mimic the clothes that I wear. Because Aka's usual speed for movement was much too slow. This was also easier than carrying it, and since it was not recognized by 'Scouting' and 'Hostility Detection', it would not interfere with my skills. But more than anything, the clothes that Aka mimicked were durable and could also double as a bullet-proof vest. It was not easily ripped and was strong against impact. Not that I tested it too much, but I thought that it was probably enough to stop a normal bullet. Well, the 'force’ of it would still be felt, though. Still, it would be a great help. Thanks to Aka, my defensive capabilities had skyrocketed. Momo had been right about this. I'm glad I accepted it. Additionally, it could only mimic 'objects' like tools and clothes. It appeared that it could not turn into life forms like Momo. It was still impressive, though. Maybe it would be able to turn into weapons once it leveled up. I was getting excited just thinking about it. Well then, time to look for some supplies and monsters… I wanted to look into Aka's skills a little more, but raising our levels was also important. Plus, I would be able to see how Aka works during battles. Oh, 'Scouting' was detecting something now. It seemed like…goblins. They were few in number, so I might as well hunt them. The goblins were chilling in a park. There were seven in all… And not a hobgoblin in sight. Momo used 'shadow' and got as close to them as possible. Then, when they were all within the area of effect, she captured them all at once with the shadow. "Gi…Giii?" "Gigi..gi?!" "Gigya…" "Guguiiii…!" The goblins frantically tried to escape, but it was no use. Perhaps it was because Momo had gained a level, but her shadow abilities were becoming stronger. Up until now, she had not been able to capture so many goblins, but now it was easy for her. And her power to strangle them had also increased. I walked up to the captured goblins and killed them with a kitchen knife. I could have crushed them with the item box, but I would use a knife this time. And I tried as best as I could do it with one cut. It wasn't precise, but I had an idea of where to hit. I wonder if it was a result of 'Vitals Strike.' If I kept using my skills like this, 'Swordsmanship' and 'Vitals Strike' would also become higher. And now that my item box was maxed, I really wanted to raise my other skills as well. It would save some SP as well. <
