I Defeated the Guide Angel and I Became a Necromancer ~ I Feel Like I'm Playing a Different Game from Everyone Else, but I'm Doing Fine ~ - Chapter 76

Chapter 76: Emergency Quest – 5 ~ It’s Somehow Artistic~

◆ Demon God’s Temple – Guild Room [Lobby] ◆

…There’s a big, cute, chibi-style stuffed dragon sitting here.

“Wow… sniff… woof!! (This smells like Napping’s Team!)”

“Ah, the Napping’s Team, huh… they must have left it behind…”

“It doesn’t have any furniture effects, but it’s cute. So fluffy…”

“Ah, finally, they let me go…”

Σ(´∀｀；)

“Alright, wow! It’s soft, unlike the real one. This is a great find…”

Apparently, it’s a reward from the dragon that the Napping’s Team defeated. It says “Scarlet Dragon Plushie”… Just like the Slaughterer and Slayer plushies, it doesn’t have any furniture effects, but it’s impactful and adorable. Another hugging pillow for the Napping’s Team… At this rate, won’t the lobby be overflowing with plushies? Well, even if we put down 10 more, there’d still be plenty of space—this lobby is huge.

“Everyone, please wait here for a moment? I’ll go get this appraised right away!”

“Ooh, appraisal time~”

“Yes, we’ll be waiting… so fluffy.”

“Okay! After being hugged so much, I’m going to hug this dragon back… take that!”

“Woof?”

(´∀｀)

Lia-chan and Chiyo-chan hugged the dragon plushie and took a break, while Oniichan leaned against Donta to rest… And those two are still relaxing in Room 201… Alright, let’s get things done during the break!

“Huh…? This door…”

“We removed the door from Room 3 and replaced it with the engine room door of the Hell Whale.”
“When I wondered where it was installed, it was here. It’s definitely a door—-huh?”

“Huh?”

“Eh…!?”

I’m the one who removed the usual door from Room 3 and installed the door from the engine room here… But I didn’t touch the interior. I didn’t know. I mean, I didn’t open it and peek inside, so I had no idea…!!

“This looks like… the inside of a luxurious train…”

“The interior has changed into a set that looks like a luxurious sightseeing train~~”

“No way… I didn’t know it had such an effect…!”

Who would’ve thought that the Hell Whale’s engine room door had such a hidden function…! When you replace the room’s door, the interior changes into a luxurious train’s passenger cabin! The other rooms… haven’t changed. Wow, this is amazing…! So conceptually, does this mean the engine room is on the lobby side, and the rear of the engine room is the passenger cabin? Is it okay to go inside? Here I go…

“It’s no longer the usual Room 3…”

“It’s like a suite room now! One of the developers must be an interior design expert! The recreation is so precise…!!”

“You’re giving feedback like someone who’s used to luxury trains.”

“Oh? Oh my!”

“I actually want to ride one for real. But after seeing this, even if I did, it’d just feel like, ‘Ah, it’s the same as this.’”

“……That’s true!!”

“That does seem likely~…”

The usual Room 3, which used to be like “The Conference Room”, has transformed into a suite room of a luxurious sightseeing train. The chairs are soft, the decorations on the table and wallpaper are beautiful, and the carpet is so plush that you’d hesitate to step on it. The interior, with its lamps emitting a soft, calming light and the retro, intricate design, is incredible… I mean, the developers, right? There’s a chance that none of the players might ever discover this, right? It’s truly amazing how they can go all out on something like this. I really want to make sure I don’t miss any of these details in the game. It’s that kind of game.

“Alright!! Let’s get to the appraisal!!”

“Yes, how should we divide the spoils?”

“I’ve got something already, so you can have it all if you like.”

“No way! That would be like forcing it onto us!”

“Exactly, so how about this: we each pick one item we want first, and then we can divide the rest after discussing?”

“I agree with that!”

“Then I’ll go with that, sounds good!”

Alright, then! Let’s start the equipment appraisal! As always, we’ll lay out the unidentified items that have come out so far on the largest table in the room, piling them up until the table is filled with [?] marks! I love this part, it’s always so fun!

“Okay, let’s do this quickly! Please pick what you want first!”

“Then, I’ll take this rainbow-framed staff!”

“I’d like the clothes, please!”

“I’ll go with the shoes.”

“Alright, let’s appraise them all at once!”

Now that everyone’s picked what they wanted, let’s do the mass appraisal!

“[? Sword] turned out to be [Dragonne Slayer].”

“[? Axe] turned out to be [Dragosso Buster].”

“[? Spear] turned out to be [Dragonf Lance] .”

Never forgive the Mid-Red Dragon.That thing only dropped fake equipment!!

“[? Blunt Weapon] turned out to be [Dragonda Mace].”

“[? Staff] turned out to be[To-ragon Staff].”

“[? Clothes] turned out to be[Dragon Leather Ar-ar].”

Don’t forgive the Large Red Dragon either. It only dropped fake equipment too!!! What even is “Dragon Leather Ar-ar”?! And look, there’s no hole to put your head through! Ahhh!!! As for the Dragonda Mace, when you swing it, the head flies off! There’s a limit to how bad something can be!!

“[? Ingredient] turned out to be [Let’s Eat Together! Red Dragon Red Meat – Yakiniku Set!].”

“[? Ingredient] turned out to be [Let’s Eat Together! Red Dragon Red Meat – Yakiniku Set!].”

” [? Ingredient] turned out to be [Let’s Eat Together! Red Dragon Red Meat – Yakiniku Set!].”

Oh look, ingredients—it’s a complete yakiniku* meat set! I really can’t figure out what makes this any different from the normal food items in the inventory!!

*yakiniku: a Japanese style of cooking that involves grilling bite-sized meat and vegetables, typically served with dipping sauces.

[Let’s Eat Together! Red Dragon Red Meat – Yakiniku Set!] (Unique Ingredient)
-Perfect for barbecues or home-grilled meat, but the set is way too large for one person!
-Please use the three accompanying sauces for seasoning.
-If you eat more than four pieces, most people will randomly get a +4 increase to their stats.
-Expiration: [40 hours left] – No eating time limit – Weight: 4.0kg

“Oh, it raises stats…?”

“Eh!? Oh, it really does!”

“It’s like the sausages from before. There’s plenty, so should we eat it together?”

“Yes, let’s! It would be nice to eat it with everyone!”

This, this is a good item… Maybe it didn’t go straight into the ingredient inventory because it’s a permanent effect item… I see, that’s how it’s differentiated! So then, does that mean this rainbow ingredient is…!?

“This one, what about it?”

“Yes, let’s take a look!”

“[? Ingredient (Rainbow)] turned out to be [★Let’s Eat Heartily Together! Red Dragon’s Addictive Meat – Yakiniku Set!]. Congratulations!”

“[? Ingredient (Rainbow)] turned out to be [★Let’s Eat Heartily Together! Red Dragon’s Addictive Meat – Yakiniku Set!]. Congratulations!”

” [? Ingredient (Rainbow)] turned out to be the [★Take on the Challenge! Red Dragon’s All-You-Can-Eat Satisfaction Full Course!]. Congratulations!”

[★Let’s Eat Heartily Together! Red Dragon’s Addictive Meat – Yakiniku Set!] (Legendary Ingredient)
-Perfect for barbecues or home-grilled meat, but the set is way too large for one person!
-Please use the five accompanying sauces and spices for seasoning.
-If you eat more than four pieces, most people will see all their stats increase by +4 (competes with other meat-based stat boosts).
-Expiration: [40 hours left] – No time limit – Weight: 6.0kg

[★Take on the Challenge! Red Dragon’s All-You-Can-Eat Satisfaction Full Course!] (Legendary Ingredient)
-Can’t be satisfied with just ordinary amounts of meat? Don’t worry, this is for you!
-Please use the ten accompanying sauces, spices, and sauces for flavoring.
-If you eat more than 40% of the total and finish it with two or fewer people, all your stats will -increase by +10 (does not compete with non-human species meat-based stat boosts).
-Expiration: [40 hours left] – Time limit: 30 minutes – Weight: 80.0kg – Finish it all and you’ll acquire [Dragon Slayer – Dragon Extermination].

“This one’s for Donta and Chiyo-chan…”

“What should we do? It’s almost lunchtime, so we could gather everyone and eat this together.”

“Even if we gather everyone, I don’t think we can finish it. Even without the non-human portion, it’s still 24 kilos.”

“Oh my! Even with 24 people, that’s still 1 kilo per person, isn’t it?! But if we only need to eat four pieces…”

“…Should we ask Baldy and Cook-san to sell it at the cafeteria shop?”

“For the meat the guild members can’t finish, that might be a good idea! We could sell it in portions of four pieces. Let’s start by eating the best cuts ourselves!”

“I agree!”

“Agreed… Though, the problem is that the Napping’s Team might also have brought some out.”

“Ah…”

“And there could still be more. If that happens, we’ll have even more to consume. I think we should make an announcement and start selling at 9 p.m.”

“Since this emergency quest lasts until 8 p.m., there are probably people who will want to keep hunting until the last minute. It might be nice to do it as a sort of end-of-hunt celebration!”

“Let’s do that. No need to rush right now.”

“I’ll send a private message to Napping’s Team!”

We’re already worried about whether we can finish the meat we’ve got, but there’s a chance Napping’s Team has more! And we might get even more, too… For now, maybe we should just stash it in the guild storage and have everyone eat together at night. Wait, hang on… is today Sunday? Oh… I must’ve lost track of the days after napping, it’s already Sunday… School tomorrow… ugh, I really don’t feel like going… But I can’t forget that I’m able to attend thanks to Mayumi! I have to remember that!

“I sent the message! They’re thinking about the location. Should we continue with the appraisals?”

“Thank you, Rena! Let’s continue!”

“Thanks!”

“Alright!!”

Rena sent a message about the BBQ party to Napping’s Team, so now we’re just waiting for their reply. Yeah, having the BBQ after we handle the Violent Dragon Emperor and storm the Royal Palace of Stellavelce sounds like the right order. Alright, let’s move on and get these items appraised!

“[? Shield (Rainbow)] turned out to be [★★Draco-n Shield]! Congratulations!”

The name sounds fake, but it’s actually Mystic quality…! I can’t believe it…!! Sorry, can I quickly check the stats on this thing?

[★★Draco-n Shield] (Top-tier, Mystic, Lightweight Shield, No Slots)
-[Curse] Flies well
-[Curse] Automatically returns to the owner’s extra-dimensional storage 30 seconds after being thrown
-Usable skill: [Frisbee]
-When registered to an owner, unlocks [Extra-dimensional Storage] exclusive to the Draco-n -Shield
-Guard Performance
-Slash Resistance: +0%
-Blunt Resistance: +0%
-Pierce Resistance: +0%

This thing flies incredibly well… It really does fly incredibly well! I should get the Witch to enchant it so I can play with it whenever… by a Knight with way too much free time.

-Cannot be enhanced
-Cannot be destroyed
-Weight: 0.4 kg

What even is this…? Is it really a shield?! And why would this bored knight have the Witch enchant it to be so ridiculously functional?! What a joker…!

“[? Blunt Weapon (Rainbow)] turned out to be [★★Dragonbone]! Congratulations!”

“[? Hat (Rainbow)] turned out to be [★★Black Princess’s Blue Rose Hat]! Congratulations!”

” [? Clothing (Rainbow)] turned out to be [★★Black Princess’s Masterpiece]! Congratulations!”

” [? Material] turned out to be [★Orichalcum]! Congratulations!”

” [? Material] turned out to be [★Dragonium Alloy]! Congratulations!”

” [? Book (Rainbow)] turned out to be [★Special Card Binder]! Congratulations!”

” [? Book (Rainbow)] turned out to be [★Special Card Binder]! Congratulations!”

” [? Book (Rainbow)] turned out to be [★Special Card Binder]! Congratulations!”

“We’re holding a barbecue party at 9 PM tonight as a celebration! Even if you didn’t go fight the dragon, come to help us use up the meat~ It boosts your stats~! Looks like we can borrow the cafeteria, so we’ll do it there. See you then!”

” [? Staff (Rainbow)] turned out to be [★★Art of Death]! Congratulations!”

” [? Clothing (Rainbow)] turned out to be [★★Black Princess’s Black Garb]! Congratulations!”

” [? Shoes (Rainbow)] turned out to be [★★Black Princess’s High Heels]! Congratulations!”

The timing of that announcement from Nappping’s Team made me a bit too excited, but this is the staff I picked! Art of Death — the name itself already sounds cursed, doesn’t it?!

[★★Art of Death] (Utterly Horrible, Mystic, One-handed Staff, No Slots)
-[Curse] The user becomes poisoned
-[Curse] The user becomes paralyzed
-[Curse] The user becomes cursed
-[Curse] The user suffers a mental breakdown
-[Curse] The user becomes petrified
-[Curse] The user becomes zombified
-[Curse] The user dies instantly
-If the wielder of this staff causes death to an enemy by any means, the enemy will explode upon death.
-Explosion damage +77%
-Death is Art!!! And Art is Explosion!!! by a Deranged Artist
-Cannot be enhanced
-Registered owner: [Rinne]
-Weight: 0.8 kg

Oh yeah… this is good! Really, really good!!! That’s right, explosions are art… I get it…

“Look, look! This is super strong!”

“You’re only looking at the benefits!? No one is ever going to use that cursed weapon!!!”

“Here, this is Pers-chan’s set. Go ahead.”

“Oh my, oh my, oh my…! What should I do, all the other equipment has also appeared…”

“I’m fine with just this staff! It’s super strong!”

“The only one who would want that is Rinne. The drawbacks are insane. As for the armor, I’m fine too. It’s a full-body set.”

“Then, may I take the Black Princess’s 4-piece set?”

“Okay~”

“Go ahead, Pers-chan, equip it!”

“Ahhh~~! Thank you so much, I am deeply grateful~~!!!”

After the discussion, it was decided that the “Black Princess’s Blue Rose Hat, Black Garb, Art, and High Heels 4-piece set” would go to Pers-chan, the “Dragonbone, Orichalcum, and Dragonium Alloy” would go to Rena-chan, and the “Dracon Shield, Art of Death, and three Special Card Binders” would go to me.

Rena-chan had received various things previously, including the Shachi-san backpack. We decided to cancel out the debt with the handover of the high heels and the Special Card Binder. She still insists that it’s not enough, but since we’re okay with it, there’s no problem! Besides, Rena-chan doesn’t yet know the true power of the Special Card Binder…!

“… Here we go!”

“This is my first time seeing one. I usually think Card Binders are pretty underwhelming.”

“Oh, wait, let me grab Oniichan real quick!”

“Oh!? Ah, yes, the lucky guy!”

I dashed out to the lobby and locked onto Oniichan. Despite his surprised expression, I dragged him to the Suite Room 3 without a word! Now, Oniichan! Time to pull!!!

“Hey, Oniichan, sorry to trouble you, but could you pull this for me?”

(｀・ω・´)ｂ

“Frioniel drew 5 Name Cards from the [★Special Card Binder].”

“Frioniel drew 5 Name Cards from the [★Special Card Binder].”

“Frioniel drew the [★★★Yokai Hundred Demons Card] from the [★Special Card Binder]! Congratulations!”

“(｀・ω・´)”

“Whoa!!! As expected of you, Oniichan…!”

He did it! Oniichan just pulled an ultimate card! Is the probability of getting this kind of card actually pretty high? No, it’s an ultimate card, so that can’t be right… Then, as a thank you for pulling it, I’ll give you a fun little tool to pass the time…

“Now, this is a reward for you, Oniichan…! What do you think?”

“Σ(´∀｀；)！！！！”

“[★★Dragonscale Shield] now belongs to [Frioniel].”

“Frioniel has acquired [Dragonscale Shield Exclusive: Interdimensional Storage].”

“Thanks, Oniichan!”

“(´∀｀)ｂ”

It seems he really likes it. Thank you for your great work, Oniichan… That guy truly has incredible luck… And I’m sure that shield will lead to some extraordinary misfortune event in the future…

“Oh? I just received a call from Queen Babylon! Apparently, she wants to see me alone, so I’ll be heading out!”

“That’s so nice!!”

“Really nice~~”

“Hehe~! I’m off now~~!!”

“Guh, Pers-chan is being summoned by Babylon-chan! I’m so jealous… I thought Babylon-chan was always around, but it seems she often returns to her original realm, the demon world, and is sometimes absent. If she’s here, I really wanted to see her~~…”

“Just the two of us.”

“Eh…? W-wait…!?”

“…What was the effect of the card?”

Rena-chan is s-so close…! She folded her mechanical wings, which sprout from her waist, and moved in closer! Ahn, she’s cute… I wonder if she really is older? If I had a little sister, I’d want her to be a super cute girl like Rena-chan… No, wait! The card, right! I pulled a card! Um, here it is!

[★★★Yokai Hundred Demons Card] (Ultimate, Ring)
-Can use the seal art [One Against a Thousand].
-Increases seals by 1.
-Reduces seal recovery time by 5 seconds.
-“—Who will my next opponent be? I will cut down all in my path!” by Hundred Demons.

“This looks like Chiyo-chan’s mom.”

“…Yeah, it probably does. I thought the same when I drew it.”

“Absolutely. The illustration on the card looks just like Chiyo-chan.”

“It definitely seems like it… What should I do? Should I give it to her?”

“You should definitely give it to her.”

“That’s true~~.”

It really does seem like this is Chiyo-chan’s mom’s card! There’s a possibility that the card’s design is misleading, but at the very least, it’s related to her. If anyone uses this card, it will increase their seal by 1, allowing them to use [One Against a Thousand], which increases critical hit rate for 3 minutes, and seals will recover in 55 seconds… But considering everything, it’s definitely best for Chiyo-chan to equip it.

“I’m going to give this to Chiyo-chan.”

“Mm! I’m going to play around with the weapon maker a bit. Let me know when Pers-chan gets back.”

“Okay! Just a short break then!”

For now, I’ll give this to Chiyo-chan, and then wait for Pers-chan to return… I wonder what Pers-chan was summoned for?

Ah, right! I haven’t done the Animate Fetish yet. But for now—this fake weapon series is unique, so I can’t use that. Then I’ll just borrow a bunch of high-leather boots and a magician’s hat that are lying around in the warehouse. I feel bad about this, but should I call Chiyo-chan through telepathy?

“(Chiyo-chaaaan… Can you hear me…? Please come in through the blue door in the guild room…)”

“Princess Chiyo activated [Shocking Event].”

“:.. She’s here!!”

“That was fast!?”

Whoa, she came really quickly…!? I was still in the middle of arranging coffins that defy the laws of physics, crammed tightly while trying to do the Animate Fetish!?

“Uh, um! I got this!”

“Hm? Is that a talisman? This is… this is… ah…”

“Is it really… your mother?”

“Yes, I believe so. This would have been before I turned ten, when the armies of a neighboring country invaded our land. During that time, she cut down a thousand enemies, took the head of their commander, and valiantly defended the country… only to succumb and perish, as I’ve heard.”

“I see… I’m sorry for bringing this back up.”

“No!! My mother is a source of pride for us. It’s a stroke of luck that this talisman, holding her power, has come into my possession! May I accept it?”

I’m so sorry to say this while coffins are lined up like this…

“Yeah, I want you to have it. I can’t imagine giving it to anyone else.”

“I am truly grateful for this happiness. Then, I won’t hold back…”

“Princess Chiyo synthesized [★★ Mother Youko’s Keepsake] with [★★★ Yokai Hundred Demons Card Card] .”

“Princess Chiyo equipped [★★ One Against a Thousand: Keepsake of Youko Hundred Demons Card] . She has acquired [One Against a Thousand].”

Oh… This is quite an emotional scene, perhaps… The name of the equipment has changed from Mother Youko’s Keepsake to Keepsake of the Youko Hundred Demons, probably because her real name has been unlocked. Ah… I wonder if my sister and I didn’t experience events like this, which is why the evolution path wasn’t revealed? Chiyo-chan, having gone through many events, reaches level 75, could she choose the most optimal evolution path? The path to awakening? I hope she can choose freely without any worries.

“… So, what about that coffin?”

“Oh, this is for creating the cursed objects I’m using.”

“I see, so it’s the material for Rinne’s dark magic. Is this something we shouldn’t look at?”

“No, it’s okay to look. It might not be interesting, though.”

“No, no, since I’ve had nothing to do but eat anyway, I’d love to see!”

Oh, I didn’t expect Chiyo-chan to choose to observe the dark magic… no, necromancy instead of eating. But it’s fine even if she sees, so let’s get on with it. The targets are a Middle Red Dragon, high-leather boots, and a cursed coin. Here we go!

“Okay, I’m going now! Let’s offer it up!”

“The high-leather boots have been cursed!”

“The high-leather boots have undergone a transformation!”

“The dragon leather boots cannot withstand further transformation!!!”

“The dragon leather boots have vanished.”

“Oh dear… Was that a failure?”

“Yeah, it’s a failure. These things happen sometimes.”

“Is that so…? It’s a narrow path, isn’t it…?”

“Ugh—what a pity, but it’d be a waste to use a production protection ticket on something like this. Plus, I only have three tickets that Pers-chan secretly sent to me without me noticing. Next, let’s use a Large Red Dragon with the other materials the same. Here we go!”

“Okay, let’s offer it up next!”

“The high-leather boots have been cursed!”

“The high-leather boots have undergone a transformation!”

“The dragon leather boots have transformed!”

“The dragon leather boots have become a cursed object!”

“★Dragon Leather Boots have been completed! Congratulations!”

“Oh, it’s done!”

“Yes, yes! It’s complete! I hope we can do the same with everything else!”

“Indeed, I’m looking forward to it too!”

Maybe it’s because of the unusual sight, but Chiyo-chan is bouncing up and down cutely. I could equip this myself, but I’d prefer if Chiyo-chan wore it. Her gear is a bit lacking after all…

“Chiyo-chan, how about updating the gear under your current outfit?”

“Eh? Ah, um… It’s true that it doesn’t have any special powers, though…”

“Want to skip it?”

“Well… No, let’s do it! I can’t keep dragging this out, so please take it off me!”

“Whaaat!? Oh, I see! I just need to forcibly remove it from under the avatar…”

Chiyo-chan said it’s okay to update! I thought she meant she could also forcibly equip it since I had previously made her wear something. That caught me off guard for a moment. Anyway, I took it off! Alright! Now, I can use the Great Red Dragon for this. Let’s go, Zori!

“Okay, that’s it! Let’s offer it up!”

“The War Priestess Sandals have been cursed!”

“The War Priestess Sandals cannot withstand the transformation!!!”

“The War Priestess Sandals have vanished.”

“Ah, no way! I forgot the production protection ticket!!!”

“Eh?”

“Uh… Could you wear these leather boots for me…?”

“Um, yes, but please ensure you don’t mix up the steps next time…? Oh, these feel nice! The comfort even changes under the avatar? I prefer these!”

“Oh, thank goodness! Sorry about that…”

I messed up… I should have put the production protection ticket in the mud first. I handed over those boots as a makeshift solution, but I’m glad she liked them. I was worried she might not like them, though… Huh? Are they really that comfortable? I didn’t even check the stats.

[★Dragon Leather Boots] (Supreme・Legendary・Footwear・No empty slots [●] )
– [Cursed] Halves the base MAG value
– [Cursed] Halves the base MND value
-AGI +40
– [Large Red Dragon Card] STR +20
-Enhanceable・Weight 0.2kg

Oh wow—these are actually strong! Well, I originally made these for myself, but I couldn’t even use them with these stats… I’m so relieved that Chiyo-chan likes them! Now, this time, I’ll make sure not to mess up and put in the super one!

“Alright, I won’t make a mistake this time! Let’s offer it up!”

“The production protection ticket has been inserted!”

“The War Priestess Outfit・Black has been cursed!”

“The War Priestess Outfit・Black has transformed!”

“The War Priestess Outfit・Red Dragon has transformed!”

“The Red Dragon Scale Armor of the War Priestess Outfit has transformed!”

“The Red Dragon Scale Armor of the War Priestess Outfit has become a cursed item!”

“★★ Red Dragon Scale Armor of the War Priestess Outfit has been completed! Congratulations!”

“The production protection ticket has been refunded.”

“Oh—it’s done! It’s done, Chiyo-chan!”

“Oh, that’s wonderful! That’s great—”

Wow, it’s done! I’m so glad—hopefully, Chiyo-chan will like this too—oh, wait, I’ve seen this before…!

“Due to strong emotions, the cursed mud still remains!”

Yeah, it was pretty furious back then… of course, there are strong emotions left over, right!?

“Chiyo-chan, can we go again? Is this okay too!?”

“Yes, it’s fine! Go for it!”

“Let’s go!!!”

“The production protection ticket has been inserted!”

“The War Priestess Headband・Black has been cursed!”

“The War Priestess Headband・Black could not withstand the transformation!”

“The production protection ticket has been consumed, returning to the pre-production state.”

Now that we’ve come this far, I’m going to make sure this super item succeeds no matter what! Let’s shove in those protection tickets—let’s go!!!

“The production protection ticket has been inserted!”

“The War Priestess Headband・Black has been cursed!”

“The War Priestess Headband・Black could not withstand the transformation!”

“The production protection ticket has been consumed, returning to the pre-production state.”

………………

…………

……

“The production protection ticket has been inserted!”

“The War Priestess Headband・Black has been cursed!”

“The War Priestess Headband・Black has transformed!”

“The War Priestess Headband・Red Dragon has transformed!”

“The Red Dragon Scale Headband has transformed!”

“The Red Dragon Scale Headband has become a cursed item!”

“★★ Red Dragon Scale Headband has been completed! Congratulations!”

“The production protection ticket has been refunded.”

“That was the last one… Chiyo-chan, I did it…!”

“It’s truly amazing…!”

I did it… I really did it…! Now, let’s check the important stats. Since it took so long to get here, it must be a good piece of equipment, right!?

[★★ Red Dragon Scale Armor of the War Priestess] (Top-tier・Mystic・Body 1・No empty slots [●] )
– [Cursed] Damage received from Water attribute +50%
– [Cursed] HP -20%
-Completely nullifies Fire attribute attacks
-MP +20%
– [Super Red Dragon Card] HP and MP vanish nullified

[★★ Red Dragon Scale Headband] (Top-tier・Mystic・Head・No empty slots [●] )
-[Cursed] MP -20%
-HP +10%
-When receiving an attack that would reduce HP to 0, clench with 1 HP for 5 seconds.
-[Wrath of the Super Red Dragon Card] Nullifies Freeze and Spatial Freeze.
-Enhanceable・Registered User: Princess Chiyo・Weight: 0.4 kg

Yes! Princess Chiyo has the Undead attribute, so she’s immune to Water attributes! I actually checked the compatibility chart recently and learned that the Undead attribute is weak to Fire but nullifies Water. So, there’s no downside from the curse; the HP -10% is a bit painful, but the complete immunity to Fire, which is the weakness, is too good to pass up! Plus, it has the clench effect, allowing her to withstand even the spatial freeze from Lia-chan’s special freeze, which I can’t even negate! Isn’t that way too strong? Huh? That’s unfair!

“Whoa? Whoa! Ohhh… it feels warm, like the perfect temperature…?”

“Your life force has decreased by 10%, but you can nullify all fire attacks! Just be careful, since holy attribute attacks will deal quadruple damage! Also, even if you receive a lethal attack, you can hold on for 5 seconds!”

“That is indeed an exceedingly potent attack… I must be even more careful this time. Yes, I understand! Just being able to endure at the brink of death for 5 seconds gives me a certain sense of determination! I have indeed received my new equipment! Thank you very much!”

“Oh, sorry, could you write your name on this and stick it on the boots?”

“Pardon? Yes… like this?”

“Princess Chiyo has used the [Name Card] and registered ownership of the [★ Dragon Leather Boots] .”

Alright, now all that’s left is to find Pers-chan—

“… I’ve kept you waiting—!!!”

P-p-p-Pers-chan, what happened to that black dress…!? W-wait, it’s so beautiful… it’s like art! I love it. Love it. Love it. Love it. Love it… I love it!!!

“I love it.”

“Wha…!?”

“Ah, no, I mean, I love it.”

“Uh, um!? W-well, Queen Babylon has already established the magic sword within my body, so she had me burn the gauntlet onto the back of my left hand as a crest! The frame remains a bracelet, but look! Now my avatar can be freely changed!!”

“I love it.”

“Eep…!? Please listen to me…!?”

“I love it. Can I touch it for a moment?”

“Oh, this is—”

“Chiyo-chan, since you’re here too, right? I’m going to touch it.”

“Wait, Rinne—!?”

“Wha-wha-wha-wha…!?”

With Pers-chan at the front and Chiyo-chan at the back, it’s not me with nowhere to run; it’s you two who are cornered. I’m going to make sure you realize that—!!!
