　I gave Peter and Ochazuke, who had arrived earlier, the promised before I forgot it, and waited for them to arrive.

When I gave Peter the transfer stone, I also mixed in a pair of bright red boomerang pants that Leo had sent me. Thus the pants are laundered without being worn.

　< also included a pair with a rating of 6.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　In consignment, the upper and lower limits of the price are determined for each item, and since there is no one else to make them now, even those with a rating of 6 can be sold for the highest price. So, the service is available in exchange for the extra 10. Since I have just released <>, I am not willing to sell <> with a rating of 10 yet.

　My <> with [sky magic] can transfer from the field. Hooray for my first acquisition.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The normal [sky magic] is a transfer from city to city, [sky magic] is said to have a recast time, I don't know exactly what it is because I immediately became a [magic].

　The rate of successful transfer is determined by the rating of the item, and a rating of 10 means 100% success.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　If you set up a stall, you can set the selling price freely, but it seems to be a troublesome work to investigate the market and decide the price. I wonder if it would be OK to set the price of 10 as higher than the 40,000 shillings for the transfer fee of the temple, if we don't have to go all the way to the temple, even if it is in the city. But if the price is too high, it will cost time and money for a carriage, and there will be no demand for it. If the price is lowered, there will be competition with the temple, which is also a problem.

"Speaking of which, what are we going to do about the clan?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Now that everyone is here, I ask what's on my mind.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Ah, the guild of commerce or the guild of adventurers. Which do you prefer, Peter?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"I heard that adventurers have special requests for the clan they belong to. I heard that merchants are sometimes asked to negotiate for items that are not available in the commercial sector, but I'm not sure which one to choose.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I vote for commerce.

"Donations."

"Well, I voted for adventurer because there are some people who don't sell much. I'll have the two who can't donate to the cause do quests for me like a cart horse!"

We talked about this and that, but we agreed to register as a clan in the Adventurers' Guild.

　They will send you an email inviting you to join the clan once you have registered. When you receive the email, go to the Adventurers' Guild and pay the 100,000-sil personal subscription fee to join the clan. I wonder if Shin and Leo have 100,000 shillings.

　I failed or rather didn't invoke [surprise attack], so the boss didn't take much damage and I didn't get tagged by Kikuhime, so it wasn't a disaster, but it was terrible.

　The water polyp splits into four spheres.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　At first there were two. It seems that the longer the battle goes on, the more spheres there are. The fire polyp had a "burn" effect when hit, but this one has a "paralysis" effect. Polyps are larvae of jellyfish, so they are paralyzed.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The sphere returns to the original water polyp after a certain period of time, but it also returns when it is damaged beyond a certain level. If the sphere returns to its original state after a certain amount of time, it will be attacked by a total attack without a pause.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Since there are not many players, the strategy has not been established yet, but Peter and Ochazuke explain to everyone before the boss battle the method that was posted on the bulletin board by a few who cleared the game.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

(1) When the sphere splits up, the fastest man such as a spy or a rogue takes the sphere's territory.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

(2) Even if you attack, the target may shift to the person closest to you, so pull them to the perimeter and turn in a certain direction so that they do not collide with each other.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

(3) Magic workers (including recovery workers) do not participate in the marathon because they are too slow and will catch up with you.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

The first time you return to the polyp, you will be attacked by the entire group, so please be sure to get your H! (4) All the H!? (5) The recovery magic may not be able to reach them depending on the distance, so everyone must prepare their own recovery methods.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

(5) It is better to have more than one person who can heal the whole body because the combo of paralysis and whole body attack will come near the end.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The solution to (5) is to save the summoning of spirits for the last, since all the members are water spirits and can heal as a whole. It is said that it is very difficult to take a target and timing of recovery, depending on where the spheres appear and who they aim at.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Fosu's Dade Lizard was also tough unless he put in a full recovery after the full attack.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　We were a group of water spirits and all of us were able to use overall recovery, so even if we missed the timing of recovery, others recovered for us and we easily exceeded it, but I heard that many players are stuck at Foss.

They seem to have turned in the wrong direction, and now they've run into Shin and have no choice but to fight him there. And it looks like they are having a hard time fighting because they are not far enough from each other. Shin is hit by paralysis. Kikuhime is going around the perimeter with the sphere as planned.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　She is in trouble, she thinks, but since reinforcements are not likely to come, she switches her staff to a sword and breaks in between the spheres and the ochazuke.
