Chapter 168: Point Consultation and Area Release Event<hr>


    I see the three of them off as they head for the royal castle. Then I call out to the yers who are looking at me.


    "What are you doing?"


    "Emm. I was wondering if you were going to open the store"


    "That''s right. It''s not like we''re worried about you having a secret conversation with an NPC or anything!"


    "Hey, you!?"


    "Emm. No more lines from her"


    Raiden-san, that''s impossible. You''re not very good at this kind of thing, are you, Tyrol?


    "I see. Ruin-san is going to open the store, so you cane then"


    When I was about to enter the store, four people came to stop me.


    Wait a minute~!


    "What. I''m busy with leveling up and a new quest"


    New quest!?


    I felt their eyes light up.


    "It''s not rted to the three people you just saw. It''s something you can get at the Adventurer''s Guild"


    The four of them are disappointed.


    "It''s unusual for you to take a quest from the Adventurer''s Guild"


    Ruin-san and the others have arrived. Oh!


    "You all changed your sses. Congrattions!"


    "Thanks to you. I think everyone on our server got a ss change"


    "Takuto-kun, you''re in first ce by far in the event results"


    "Thank you"


    "You don''t have to do this. I want to talk to you about the event and the rewards, so let''s talk inside"


    "Okay"


    Sorry to bother you!


    Why do they keeping in?


    This was the first thing they all said.


    Are they getting smaller?


    "I''m not getting any smaller!"


    "We need a correction!"


    Lily and Ion said, but Setia said.


    "You both said that about yourselves"


    ""Ugh...""


    Do they want to talk about Lily and Ion first?


    "The price of dragonification. Well, maybe it has to be something like this to bnce out the situation"


    "Or is that a bit lenient?"


    "I think it''s because of the future. There was a dragon egg as a reward this time, so there might be a dragon in the near future"


    If that''s the case, it means that regr dragons are stronger.


    "Takuto-kun, you got the capsule, right?"


    Everyone listened. You guys...you''re too much of a wild-goose chase.


    "Yes. I was able to exchange it at the point where I stepped on thest robot appearance trigger. Thanks to that, though, I didn''t level up"


    "It was worth it, right? What was that?"


    I looked around at everyone and then at Tyrol.


    "Excuse me. I''m sorry, this is a very sensitive subject and I can''t disclose it"


    "What? Did you judge by looking at me?"


    "Of course not...you couldn''t tell me before, so what''s the big deal?"


    "At worst, we''ll have to cut ties with the country and the guild and live on a desert ind"


    Eh!?


    Everyone was surprised, but it didn''t look strange if it actually happened.


    "Was it really that dangerous?"


    "Yes. Of course, we''ve just taken measures to prevent that from happening, so I think we''ll be fine"


    "I''m d to hear that. Now, when you''re ready to talk about it, you can tell me"


    "I promise"


    Next, let''s talk about other points.


    "You''re going to exchange for the Intermediate Furnace and for the Intermediate cksmith Hammer"


    "Yes. I think Hephaestus needs them and we want good weapons too"


    "That''s solid. So you''re wondering what to do with the remaining 7600?"


    "Yes. I''m wondering if I should use it for attribute stones or something else"


    "Right. If I were to rmend one, I''d say expand your inventory, intermediate vault. What I''m interested in is the camping set"


    I didn''t know there was such a thing. I''d certainly appreciate the ability to increase the amount of inventory. It seems that 100pt will increase the inventory by 10. Since the intermediate vault is owned by the store, it is certainly appreciated that more money and items can be stored. It costs 3000pt, which is also sold in the Adventurer''s Guild.


    I was also curious about the mysterious camping set. I thought it was an item that allowed everyone to log out at the field. In case you were wondering, it cost 3000pt.


    As I was pondering, Tyrol dropped a bomb on me.


    "Aren''t you going to exchange for the brush, Takuto-san? There is a brush for summoned beast"


    My summoned beasts in the store reacted in a super way. I hadn''t noticed that at all. Oh, there are brushes for subraces and summoned beasts. Both are 1500pt.


    Ji~


    Gaze attacks from all of them. You don''t have to look like that, I''ll exchange them. I didn''t get a reward for Gray and the others.


    I ended up with two brushes, a camping set and the remaining 1600 to expand my inventory. I''m going to test the effects of the brushes as soon as possible.


    "Let''s start with Lily!"


    So I brushed Lily''s hair.


    "Uwa~......"


    Lily opens her mouth and squints her eyes. She''lle back to her senses when I stop. I summon Gray and he squints and slumps too.


    "Koon..."


    I''ve never heard Gray sound like this before.


    "Gray-chan, who was so cool, would fall so far..."


    "Fearfully, Takuto-san''s brushing attack"


    What''s with that pathetic attack!? By the way, I tried this attack on ion.


    "Funya~......"


    She became a cat. I''ll try it on Setia.


    "Ah...no...this is...ah~"


    She writhed. It smells like a crime, so please stop. Koihi requested that I brush her tail.


    "Suu...suu..."


    She fell asleep. The effect seemed to be outstanding.


    So, what happened was that I continued talking while brushing all of them. I''m currently brushing Konoha and he''s squinting at me like he''s feeling good.


    "I''m seriously torn about the War Merit points. I''d like to use status orbs to raise the agility value of my Kurogane, but do you have any other rmendations?"


    "If you''re concerned about Hephaestus, I found some iron ore down there, right?"


    I beg your pardon? I found it when I checked and it looks like it can be exchanged for 200pt. I''ve reached 200 for Ix''s weapon! This left me with 21,000pt, so I decided to exchange 50 for Koihis weapon and the rest for Kuroganes agility value.


    I immediately made a weapon request to Hephaestus. Koihi''s iron one-handed sword and my iron one-handed sword.


    "It''s just like you, Takuto-kun, to spend points on ores and summoned beasts when yers are going for weapons and skill scrolls"


    As I finish speaking, Mel and the others arrive. Everyone is early today. Then I remembered my promise. I''m sorry...I forgot. But I can''t give this away. What to do...there was something good.


    "By the way, you promised me some equipment as a thank you"


    "Hmm? I did, but you''re giving me a reward for the event?"


    "No, of course not. I''ve just found the right quest. I''ll give you this and no promises"


    Quest?


    They were all surprised to see the quest.


    Area release event!?


    Hmm? Everyone is surprised, what''s going on? As I twist my head around, Rook exins it to me.


    "Quests like this that open up new areas are called area release quest"


    I see. If I can clear it, I can go to a new ce. But what''s wrong with that?


    "These quests are special and the rewards are good"


    It''s true that iron weapons are currently a good reward.


    "I see. Then do your best toplete it"


    "Wait a minute. Isn''t Takuto going to join us?"


    "I gave you the quest, so it''s normal not to participate, right?"


    "That''s true, but..."


    Keigo is reluctant. Rekka said.


    "If Takuto doesn''t help us, it''s not exactly what we promised, is it?"


    "It''s not like I''m going to get a reward for it"


    Rekka also realizes that this is definitely not right. Then Yuko said to me,


    "Then, I''ll take my sword and armor"


    "Why do I have to give you two?"


    "That''s the extent of your love for the three of us, Takuto-kun!"


    "Then, let''s not talk about this. Wait until I get the most powerful weapon. I''ll go on this quest alone"


    Wait~!!


    Everyone stopped me. Why?


    "Events like this are meant for everyone to work together. Takuto-kun"


    "Is that so?"


    Yes!


    O, Ou. If everyone says so, then I guess so. Well, we all cooperated with each other in the admin event. It''s a good idea to work together on this quest as well.


    "Then, it''s settled on the members of this ce!"


    Rook said, but that''s not what he said before.


    "Isn''t everyone here?"


    "Maybe this is a request quest, anyone can take it. I''m sure it won''t be a problem as long as you give the capture information"


    I guess that''s how it works. Then, I''ll do my best with the members here.<hr>

    Author note:


    I''d like to add something. I didn''t dare mention it in the text, but the reason Ruin and the others are trying so hard to stop Takuto is because they think there is a reward for clearing the first time.
