After experiencing riding training, I decided to start hunting the next day to level up.
　I thought about looking for a new hunting ground, but I decided to hunt in Mount Lemuri first to earn the cost of my goal as soon as possible.
　And after a few days of hunting, we were still hunting lizardmen today.

"Ho, ho, ho!

　He relentlessly thrusts his Excalibur into the Lizardman's leg while using the lid of the pot to ward off the attack.
　Then, when he loses his balance, he stabs him in the shoulder, pulling him forward and making him fall over, and then stabs him in the middle of his back without giving him time to stand.
　In the blink of an eye, the lizardman turns into a particle of light and disappears, leaving behind scales and other drop items.

'Phew, that's a wrap.

As usual, there's a lot of lizardmen here.

'But it's nice not to have to move around. All I have to do is shoot the magic and they will come to me.

　This was the first of several times today that a group of lizardmen were defeated.
　I was hunting by having Estelle attack from a distance with magic and waiting for a group of lizardmen to react and come towards me.
　Hunting on top of a rocky mountain is a precarious foothold, so we didn't hunt like the goblin forest, where we rushed into it.
　They're relatively strong, and they're also relatively strong, so they avoid fighting in a way that would surround them.

　It's also easier to do this now because if you attack them, they will call their friends and come at you on their own, so like Esther said, you don't have to move around, and it's easier to do it this way.
　There's also Kepur, which is a rare species, and it's rewarding to collect magic stones and get skins and scales that can be bought for a high price.
　Thanks to this, I've moved up one level and reached the 80th level. At this rate, I should be able to reach my goal of 20 in no time.

''When I thought the hunt for the magical stone was over, I had to level up. Heihachi is in too much of a hurry to live.

　Luna is sitting on a rock, slumping with her spear on her shoulder with one hand.
　I forced her out because she's leveling up, but she's not very happy about it.

'Isn't Luna just too laid back?

'No, it's not. This is why I have a problem with young people these days.

Luna's young enough to be young, isn't she?

　A little girl told me she was a young man these days or something... or rather, it's not as if it has anything to do with the story of Luna lounging around!
　Come to think of it, I wonder how old Luna is. She's around 10 years old by the looks of it. But she's a vampire, so it's not necessarily her age as she looks.
　But the way she's pampering Sisha makes her look age appropriate. Hmm, I'm curious.

　When I looked at Luna to ask her, she blatantly removed her eyes from me and started to turn away.
　I'm going to guess what you're going to ask and ignore it........
　

''Huh.........''

What's with the sighing?

It's rare that Sisha doesn't look like she's enjoying herself on the hunt.

　Sisha looked down and looked impatient as she sat on a rock.
　I've never seen you like this in the middle of a hunt before.
　He was participating in the battle even during the lizardman hunt, so he shouldn't be in a bad shape.......

Haha.........the hunting itself is fun. But when I hunt with you all like this, I feel that I'm not strong enough...

I don't think it's anything to be concerned about...

'No, I'll mind. I'm obviously slower than Okura-san and the others to beat them.

You're a priest, that shouldn't be a problem...

　We had eight lizardmen in a lump with eight lizardmen, and Esther and Luna had Esther and Luna cut them down with long range attacks, and me and Nol took care of the survivors.
　There were times when Sis-Ha would fight, but it may be because it takes a while to defeat one of them, but now she seems to be prioritizing recovery.
　I can take it down with no problem, but it seems that Sis-Ha, a priest, isn't suitable for hunting against strong enemies that prioritize efficiency.
　Most of the equipment is designed for recovery, so there's no way around it.

　And even though Nolle isn't bothered by it, I've been taking a lot of hits, so for me it's more helpful to prioritize recovery.
　You can't dodge them like Noor and Cis-Ha, so.... It's safer to counterattack after catching the attack like just now, than to avoid it poorly.
　When I was thinking like that, Luna said something outrageous.

''Why don't you give Heihachi's weapon to Sisha?　Then anyone can use it, right?

'What are you talking about?　If I did that, I'd be incompetent--

We've got a plan!

'Ah!　Doro-Bo!

　Hearing Luna's words, Sisha instantly took away the Excalibur that was hanging from my waist.
　Hah!　We passed each other for a second and they just took it!　This guy is a professional pickpocket!

Give it back!　I want my Excalibur back!

I'm just going to borrow it for a few minutes!　I'll get it back to you in a minute!

　When I pressed him to give it back, Sisha backed away, holding Excalibur to his chest.

'Okura-dono, you may lend it to him, may I not?

"Brother, it's not like they're going to take it all the time, so why don't you lend them some?

It's only for a short time.

Thank you!

　When I reluctantly said I would lend it to him, Sisha went to the lizardman on the edge, raising his Excalibur with a big smile.
　I didn't mind lending it to him, but I was bent on getting it back since I was forcibly crunched.
　But still.........

''Looking at you from the side, you look like a freak.

'Hmm, your brother always looks like that too.

That crazy-looking Okura-dono is even stranger, though.

　I look like a complete prowler when I see him running around brandishing what looks like a golden crowbar.
　

　The lizardman has noticed Sisha approaching and is about to open his mouth to scream.
　But before he could do so, Sisha's figure blurred and disappeared.
　I wondered where she had gone, and the next thing I knew, I saw Sisha stabbing Excalibur into the Lizardman's throat.
　She drags the lizardman down to the ground as it is and swings the crowbar down on his body with tremendous speed.

　Scary.....................or rather egregious. I do this all the time, but I never thought it would be this egregious from a third party's perspective.......
　In the blink of an eye, without having time to call for his friends, the Lizardman dies and turns into light.
　Then Sisha came back with a good mood while skipping.

''This is awesome!　I was able to take down the Lizardman in an instant!　I thought it was a weird weapon, but I'm starting to want it!

Oh, well I'll give it back to you anyway.

'An!　Wouldn't you like to be a little more?

　I snatched it back from Sisha's hand a little too forcefully, and she's still wiggling her body and complaining as if it's not enough.
　This Excalibur is the only strong weapon I have right now. I don't want you to take it with you.

''Haha, I wish I could strengthen my Veating once as well...''

''Sisha's staff was originally intended for recovery, so why don't you try strengthening your SR weapons like your brother?''

'Oh, that's a good idea. I've been using my magic blade lately, so let's enhance that.

It would be nice to have something other than a dedicated weapon, to strengthen it.

　Noor and the others originally had dedicated UR equipment, so they wouldn't think of using any other weapons.
　I've used Sisuha in various ways for combat, but I still didn't stack weapons in earnest.
　It seems that Noll and the others can use a variety of equipment, and it looks good to carry an SR that is easy to stack as a secondary equipment.

'I don't want to use anything but my own spear.

'I wouldn't want to use anything but my own wand either. Do you think Luna has a thing for it too?

No, it's a pain in the ass to throw it and then go back for it.

　Estelle heard Luna's reply and froze with a smile on her face.
　You really are a hardcore hassle........ But considering Luna's fighting style, I can understand that weapons that don't have automatic recovery added to them are hard to handle.
　If I were to let her use it, it would have to be a weapon with an auto-retrieval function.

With that in mind, I can't wait for the next gacha.

Wow, you're really into it. I'll help you collect more magical rocks.

I don't!　I will not!

Tsk.

　I thought this made me a little more motivated for the next gacha, but as expected, it's not an easy ride.
　Well, I can still get the magic stones while leveling up here, so that's enough.

''Speaking of which, I wonder what kind of gacha will come next. Your brother was aiming for 2,000 magic stones, but which gacha was this number intended for?

Of course it's a boxed mess. I've saved up to the number that I can absolutely bottom out and have an extra set aside in case the population changes.

That's the only part of you that's prepared, isn't it?

Ha, don't give me that kind of credit.

I didn't mean it as a compliment, but...

　In addition to the number of box gachas I can bottom out to make up for the humiliation of last time, I'm also giving myself more room for the unexpected.
　So for me, I'd like to see another box gacha....

'But it's conceivable that it might not be a box gacha, right?　And you never know what the next gacha will bring.

'Oh well. But with this number, you'll probably get one or two of the URs you're looking for in most gachas. I'm not sure if we'll get a comp gacha, though.

'You can't be sure even with all this. Gacha is a horrible thing, isn't it?

　Even if it's not a boxed gacha, you should be able to get more than one UR with this many.
　With 2000 units, that's 40 times in 11 series. That's a total of 440 gacha draws.
　I'll be accumulating more magic stones as I level up, so the number of times I can draw more gacha is going to increase.
　Hmmm, with the gacha ready to go, there's nothing to fear anymore.
　I can't wait for the next gacha to come.
