Then I asked Madoka to look into the use of the "earth dragon stone" and after much consideration, I decided to attach it to Misaki's armor.

''Huh, is it okay to have me wear it too...?
'Misaki is currently essential to the party. She's going to be able to hide when it's inevitably dangerous, so put her to good use.

　It is said that the 'Earth Dragon Stone', when attached to a weapon, can produce a 'drill' series of attacks with a suicide attack against heavily armored enemies, but rather than that, I decided that the special effect of 'Mad Gilly' when attached to armor could be used to help Misaki avoid emergencies.

'If that's what my brother says, I'll do my best to make effective use of it. By the way, what does this 'Mad Gilly' mean?
You'll know what I mean when you use it. There are only a few occasions when you can use it, but when you do, I think it's very effective.
''I'm going to put the 'Confusion Stone' on my armor to make it more resistant. The 'Fire Boxwood Stone' should be attached to your anklet so that Zion can attack the attributes...
''It's better if the blows are dealt, even when there are enemies whose claws and fangs don't work. Then let's move on.

　The unappraised charms that came out of the box of "Death Coming from the Sky" - a bill-like object with letters that seems to belong to the Labyrinth Country, and a long, thin piece of cloth - are appraised by Madoka.

　◆ Grand Charm to ward off death + 1◆

　Prevents energy drains.
　Will be able to strike enemies in your spirit system.

　Unicorn Ribbon +1◆

　Reduces blows from magic.
　When a critical hit occurs, a portion of the blow will penetrate enemy defenses.
　Only women who meet the requirements can equip it.

Eritia, when you say energy drain, what does it mean in the labyrinth country?
It's a life force siphoning attack. Demons in the spirit system often use it to attack me. It's a technique called 'cold hand' and the like. Some of them even suck up experience at the same time...
''Wow, I'm not really afraid of spirits or anything like that. And if I do, I have 'Brave Mist' to help me out.

　Igarashi-san seems to have a weakness for ghosts of any kind, when she says something strong without asking. It's more than enough for her to know that she's scared, though, even if she hides it.

　If that's the case, would it be a good idea to have Suzuna hold a job that might be able to counter the spirit system? I looked at her and she returned my nod and accepted the bill.

'The ribbons are similar in color to the ones Ellie always wears, aren't they?
'Yes ... and it has a very good effect. It's not something you can aim for with a critical strike, but if you were to equip it and fight against the treacherous beetle, maybe you could have fought to your advantage. But there's a condition, so it would be if I could wear it...
Would you like me to tie it up for you, Miss Ellie?

　Suzuna offers and ties a ribbon in Elitia's hair. It looks like she was able to equip it with no problem - and then she thinks about it, and comes up with the meaning of 'unicorn'.

(Maybe that one that says if you're not a virgin, you won't forgive your heart...?　(The fact that it's only for women means... well, well, as long as you can equip it, that's all that matters)

''Brother, I'm sorry, it looks like the next piece of equipment can't be appraised with 'Appraisal 1'.
''Whoa, well okay, can you try it with the 'Intermediate Appraisal Scrolls'?''
'Yes, I'll try.......oh, it worked. I knew it would come in very handy if I could get 'Appraisal 2'.

　The rest of the equipment is unappraised, including the Ambivalents, the Gauntlet of Prompt Action, and the ragged rag. However, this ragged piece of equipment looks like something I've seen before.

　Madoka shows us the results of the appraisal displayed on the license - and then.

　◆Spider Black Tights +3◆

　Increase in agility.
　Increased magic power limit.
　Reduces damage from enemies.
　Performance will be increased by the combination.
　Its performance is damaged.

Ah..........Rearward, this, this is not good for education to equip someone else with it, but you know what I mean.......just read the air, okay?
Wow, I know. I can't equip it in the first place because it's torn.
'But it seems to have such a nice effect on you that you want to equip it even if it's torn?　This is equipment for grown-up women - like sister Kyouka, or Louisa.
Besides, this equipment came out of the box in the 'Backstabbing Beetle', so that means.......

　I'm pretty sure it was someone's equipment, but saying that would make it impossible to use any of the equipment that came out of the box. If you're saying that it was someone's equipment from Takuma's party, I feel like I'd like to confirm it - but I feel like it's surreal or unethical to show him the tights and ask him if he remembers this.

'Well I think you should be useful if you think of what comes out of the box as something you can get after you've avenged someone else. Otherwise, I can't imagine anyone falling from their aspirations coming to light.

　Everyone is silent at Elitia's words.

　The contents of the box are most likely those of an aspiring seeker. Maybe not all treasures are like that, but some, like that ring, are clearly relics.　

''In that case, these tights should still be used even if they're torn.......''
No, no, I mean... I suppose you could let me use it after I've repaired it, but I can't let Igarashi-san wear these things.
''Nah........what are you taking seriously, Misaki-chan, it's not just working people who wear tights.
Since they're tights, it would be difficult to mend them... but if you're a specialist, can you do it if you have the right materials?

　Suzuna is seriously examining the torn tights. So I wondered if the 'spider' in the name of the tights could be a clue.

"'Spider' ... could it be that the tights are made of a material derived from spider silk?
''........I think that's right. Unicorn ribbons are also made from unicorn material, so when the name of the equipment includes the name of a demon, it's often made from demon material.

　Come to think of it, my 'Hard Ox Mail' is also an armor made from materials from Marsh Ox. In other words, I think this means that the 'Spider' can be made from the material from the 'Spider' that I've already heard about.

The racket and your suit are made from sheep material, and the tights are mended with spider material, so you have many goals ahead of you, Rearward.
'Yes, that's a good goal (milestone). Let's go through them one by one.

　Attack "The Sheep God's Bed" as deep as possible, earn the contribution, and then go to "Beach of the Falling Sun". In this process, you can get all the materials you need. If we can get a magic gun from Corleone-san, we'll be able to further strengthen our strength.

''The rest are the gauntlets and.......this one has an unusual shape for a spear.

　The Gauntlet of Early Work is appraised by Madoka's appraisal, and the Ambivalents is appraised by the intermediate appraisal scrolls - terrifyingly, the Ambivalents didn't reveal all the details even in the intermediate appraisal.

　◆ *The Gauntlet of Quick Work*.

　The number of normal and skillful attacks will be increased in line with your agility.
　Damage received from enemies will be slightly increased.
　Your magic power will be slightly drained during normal attacks.

　Ambivalents
　You are also damaged when you attack with this weapon.
　Reduces the damage you receive from the enemy.
　The lower your strength is, the more damage you can inflict on your opponent.
　It has a hidden power.

　As long as neither of these is a risk, it's a powerful piece of equipment - although Ambivalents is too much of a gamble to be used in battle.

'It's a bit risky, but I think Eritia will be the one who can make the most of this gauntlet. I think he's already equipped with a good small hand, so I'll leave it up to you to decide if you want to change it.
Are you sure it's okay...?

　Elitia reacts that she didn't expect her name to be mentioned. By looking at her, it is clear that this equipment is attractive to her.

'It seems that only people with a lot of magic power would find it difficult to use it effectively. If it's a level 9 Elie, I think the benefits of the increased attack frequency would outweigh the disadvantages.''
''I think Suzuna and Theresia would be stronger as a party if they had more attacks too...''
''When the level goes up and everyone is able to allocate magic power with room to spare, then we might be able to switch people to equip them. But at the moment, the most reliable attacker is Elitia. If the Blossom Blade's attack frequency is increased, I think there will be situations where we can push through with it.
''Okay okay. As for the equipment, I'd like you all to be the priority but for now, I'll let you use me to contribute as much as possible.

　Elitia hugs her small hand carefully to her chest - fortunately it's not too big in size, and even her petite size seems to be able to wear it.

This 'Ambivalents' is dangerous to use at this point in time. Leave it in the warehouse and when the time comes to use it...''
Rearward, can I hold that for you, if you like?　It's shaped like a spear, and I'm sure I'm the only one who can equip it for the time being.
But it's dangerous.　And when I attack, I don't even know how much it will come back to me.
It seems to be effective just by holding it, so even if you're carrying it on your back, I'm sure you can 'reduce the blow' and I'm also concerned about the 'hidden power'. Don't worry, if I use it, I'll listen to the instructions of the rear guard.

　There's a part of her that doesn't listen when I say this - but I also think it's typical of her to think firmly about the party and dare to bring it up, knowing the risks involved.

''........like before, no recklessly trying to protect us or anything like that.
'Yes, of course. I was in near-death pain at the time, too, and I wouldn't push myself to do it if you asked me to.

　If you say so, I shouldn't be overly worried about being overprotective. The weight of the "Ambivalents" is reasonable, but Igarashi-san doesn't seem to mind, and when I tried it out, she was handling it as if it was lighter than the Cross Spear.

''It's light, but I somehow understand that it's powerful when it's used to strike the enemy... it's an amazing spear...''
'Kyouka, it's not a cursed weapon, but be careful. The 'hidden power' isn't always a positive effect.
''Yeah well if you're just holding it, it's not like your strength or magic power is decreasing. I'll usually use the cross spear and keep this as a reserve weapon.
'Yes, please. Now that it's late, let's go back to our quarters and get some rest.
""Yes."

　Everyone's replies were more complete than I expected, and I couldn't help but laugh and the air was softened. What was surprising was that Melissa also responded normally, albeit in a nonchalant manner - I'd like to hear Theresa's voice someday, but first, I'm going to give her the patience to get into bed properly about sleeping standing up to escort me around. I want to persuade them well.
