12 Episode 12 Skills




 
 The problem of the Arsus family was successfully solved.
 After staying there for the next three days, I returned to the inn.

 When we said goodbye, Fira told me to come visit her again, but I doubt that I, a commoner, would ever see her again.

 If I could see her again, I'd like to see her again.
 I went back to the inn with that in mind and went right to work.

 I heard that a new person had joined the company just as I was gone, but he wasn't yet used to the job.
 I also teach him a lot of things while I do the work I usually do.

 ........Nevertheless, the innkeeper is busy.
 Until now, there were days when it was impossible to fill up with guests, but now it seems to be fully booked every day.

 In addition, they are all guests who have paid for the long term.
 They seem to have liked this inn very much.

 Seeing people like that, I had to work hard again.

It's so cozy in this place, isn't it?

 I was working in the cafeteria when I heard that voice.

'True. Sleeping on a bed in this room will seriously tire you out...
"Huh? The chairs are comfortable and the rooms are a lot better than those fancy hotels!

 These are my pieces of furniture.
 I'm happy that my work is being recognized.

 I can't help but loosen my mouth.
 I can't help but loosen my mouth.

"Hey, Lelius! You just got back and you need to leave early today!

 I was working with all the enthusiasm I could muster, when my father-in-law said to me, "It's still okay, but...

"It's okay, but...
'Come on, come on, come on, take a break once in a while!

 
 It's a good thing that you're able to do that, because it's a new part-time job, and it looks like you have a lot of leeway without my help.

 I took care of the work I had started and went back to my room.
 It's not that I've run out of things to do, but it's not that I've run out of things to do.

 I hadn't been able to try it out since I had been working with Feela all the time at the Arsus house, but I had acquired new powers.

''As I leveled up, it is now possible to grant skills to the things I created.

 My current 'blacksmith' level is 10.
 But still, skill granting?

You can only grant skills that have been acquired at the moment. Also, the number of skills that can be attached to a created item is specific to its creation.

 ........What are the acquired skills?
 I looked into it and found three skills.
 Sleep-disturbing, auto-return, and sleep-disturbing.

 The same ones you just destroyed. ...Can I get this skill if I destroy it?
 So now I can put it on for myself?

 But there's nothing in particular that you want to put on right now, is there?
 All of them are only useful for harassment.
 At least the auto-return might not be a bad idea, though, since it would save me from forgetting or losing things.

 There were more weapons that could be made. Iron swords, iron lances, and other equipment with the word "iron" in it, are increasing.

 There were also more accessories that could be made.
 However, unlike furniture, to create any of these accessories, you need a lot of magic stones.
 Fortunately, I've received about a month's worth of compensation from the Arsus family.

 It won't be difficult to buy the materials.
 What I'm worried about is the skills.
 If I can get the equipment to give me skills, I can make it better.

 If that happens, maybe even I will be able to fight.
 If I can make a living as an adventurer, all the problems I've had will be solved.

 For that, I'll have to visit the market.
 I look at the clock in my room. There's nothing to do, so let's go.
 With the money in my hand, I then headed into town.

 When I got to Adventurer's Street, I looked at the various magic stones and accessory shops that lined the streets.
 The adventurers were all equipped with divine artifacts that were visible.

 
 As I stare at the sacred artifacts, my eyes analyze them.

 Hama's Tachi Sword, A rank, Kirisame A rank, Automatic Recovery B rank, Sharpness C rank.

 .........Oh, even divine weapons can be analyzed?
 After all, it's called a divine artifact, and it has many skills.

 In fact, the divine artifacts I've just seen are rather rare.
 As I stared at it further, the words "impossible to create" appeared at the moment.
 ........at the moment?

 I raised an eyebrow at those words.
 ........Does this mean that it will be possible to create it if it is raised to a higher level?

 Wouldn't it be great if it became possible to create a divine artifact at will?
 Once I think about it, I can't stop getting excited.

 If I can create a sacred artifact, I'll be able to play an active role as an adventurer for sure.
 I'll have to work hard.

 In order to do so, the only thing I can do now is to acquire new skills.
 I look around the shops.
 I will look at the stores with the accessories.

 Since I don't know the conditions for acquiring the skills, I'll have to buy the ones I think I need.
 幸い、スキルランクの高いものだからといって値段が高いということはないようだ。

 神器なら自分のスキルランクまで分かるが、それ以外のものを判断することはできない。

 だから、フィーラのアクセサリーの問題もわからなかったんだしな。

 単純に、見た目の可愛さとかそういった部分で値段はあがるようだ。
 店主に話を聞きながら、時々値引き交渉をしながら高ランクスキルのついたアクセサリーを購入していった。

 とりあえず、今ある手持ちのお金で購入できたものは3つ。
 部屋に戻った俺はそれらのアクセサリーを部屋に並べる。

 ……購入してもスキルは獲得できていない。
 なら、残された可能性としては作製と破壊だ。
 ハンマーを取り出してアクセサリーを破壊する。

 その段階で、スキル一覧を確認する。
 あった、増えているな。

 つまり、スキルのついたアクセサリーをこのハンマーで破壊すれば、スキルが取れるのだろうか?
 それとも、とにかく一度破壊すればいいのだろうか?

 まあ、ひとまずハンマーで破壊すれば獲得できる。
 それだけでもわかれば十分だ。
 今回獲得できたスキルは3つだ。

 自動回復Sランク、体力強化Sランク、筋力強化Sランク。

 この3つだ。
 スキルの効果はなんとなく想像はできる。
 とりあえず、色々と試してみようか。
