NOVEL NEXT Chapter 6: First Battle and Lily´s Power
When we left town, it was a meadow. The name seems to be 《Beginning Meadow》. This is a name I often hear.
"Takuto walk~ walk~"
Lily walks in front of me in a good mood. But the fun walk didn't last long.
A blue boar came out of the grass. Apparently this guy looks like a boar.
When I thought so, the boar suddenly started running toward me. Apparently it's using rush.
It would be foolish to fight head-on against a boar's rush. I thought it was better to avoid it and attack from the side, but an unexpected event happened.
"Takuto, danger!"
Lily moved to the front to protect me. Or rather, she is in danger!
"Yaaaa!"
Dogooooon!
......Ha?
I'm sure my eyes are on the point now. To explain what happened in front of me, Lily punched the rushing boar and it blew off and crashed into a rock....... What's this?
"Iitaaii!"
It would be so……. If you punch a boar that has rushed normally from the front, you should be blown away. If you succeed in blowing it off, you will be injured.
"Takuto"
Lily came over with teary eyes. Lily's vitality was certainly declining. Only a little....... Normally, I wouldn't use HP recovery items for a small amount of damage, but......Lily's teary eyes made me look like a piece of paper.
"Thank you. Lily. I was saved"
"Eh....... Ehehe~"
Stroking her head and complimenting her makes her squint her eyes happily. I think again when I try this. Each gesture is no different from a human being.
"Did it hurt? It seems to recover"
"Yup!"
I take out an HP potion. Apparently, if you drink it, you can recover. When Lily drank the HP potion, HP recovered, but there was a problem. Lily looks like she has swallowed a bitter bug.
"Niiga~i!"
Apparently the HP potion is bad. The color is blue and it looks like Blue Hawaii, but......it was dangerous. If Lily didn't protect me, the HP potion punishment game would have been confirmed.
"Takuto......do I have to drink this every time I get injured?"
"Emm, maybe that's the case?"
"I, I see~"
Apparently it's pretty bad. I want to do something about it......ah.
"By the way, there was recovery magic among initial magic"
"For real!?"
"Y, Yes. It should be light magic"
"......"
Lily looks at me with silent, sparkly eyes. You will get it, right? It is an expected look. But be careful here.......
《Light magic acquired》
《Light magic 【Heal】and 【Light】was acquired》
Info flows into me without a stop. I was defeated by Lily's expected gaze attack and acquired light magic. No, I don't think there's a man who can beat that. As a result, the remaining skill points are 18pt.
Well, I realized that Lily's attack power was high and she would be able to fight with a little peace of mind if I play the recovery role.
"Takuto, I love you!"
Lily hugs me. I am also a man. I'm happy, but it's Lily who has forced me to get light magic.
"Now, ah......I have to dismantle that boar and pick up the items"
With Lily in my arms, I approach the boar and drop Lily. Then take out the dismantling knife and thrust it into the boar, the corpse disappears and the dropped items will automatically enter my inventory.
By the way, the inventory is the place where the acquired items are stored. In addition to items, weapons and armor can also be inventoried. In this game, the number of items in the inventory is fixed and the upper limit is 100. It's a number that I'm pretty worried about if it's enough.
I was relieved to dismantle the boar. I was afraid that I had to disassemble the boar into pieces, but in an all-ages game, gross is out? Well, it is possible to set various settings. It seems that hard settings are not possible if you are young. Well, it's hard to get used to it after actually doing a gross scene.
The item was displayed when I used Appraisal. It's here.
Boar horn: Rarity 1 Material Quality F-
An item that can be taken from a boar's horn. Used for weapons.
Boar meat: Rarity 1 Ingredients Quality F-
Meat from a boar. It has a strong odor and is difficult to cook.
"Boar horn and boar meat?"
Hohou, wild boar meat....... Is it a challenge to me who was working part-time at a teppanyaki restaurant?
"But I can't cook because I don't have cooking utensils, seasonings or fire"
Skills may be needed to cook in the first place, so it's impossible at this point.
"I got the items for the time being, so we´re going to defeat a lot of boars from now on. I'm counting on you. Lily"
"Leave it to me! Lily will protect Takuto!"
Then I instruct Lily to avoid the boar's rush and attack from the side. When Lily moved as instructed, she succeeded in hunting the boars without any damage.
However, it doesn't go well and if it's one-on-one, Lily won't lose, but if multiple boars appear, she can't deal with them. I avoid the boar´s rush and I can't punch it like Lily because of my physical disparity, so I just kick it. Then the boar blows away.
"Eh......"
I didn't think I could beat it with this. Should I be able to beat it?
Info flows there.
《Kicking skill has been released》
Kicking skill......what is that? Will it be possible to use low kick and Tai kick? Or will Kendo's movement techniques such as sliding feet and Shukuchi enter here? No, that's a walking technique, right? Shukuchi would be a very powerful skill, but......mmm. I'm worried.......
《Kicking skill acquired》
《Kicking technique 【Front Kick】, 【Leg Sweep】acquired》
I took it. The consumption point is 1pt. As a result, the remaining skill points became 17pt.
No, because my only means of attack right now is a physical attack with the staff or bare-handed. Light magic is recovery and light. It turns out that light is just magic to make the staff glow, so it is better to have more means of attack.
I could have expected a front kick, but an unexpected leg sweep. It's a judo and sumo technique, but I have an image of a foot rather than a kick. Well, shall I try it out?
In conclusion, I tried using front kick and leg sweep, but I felt uncomfortable. As mentioned in the tutorial, I couldn't move satisfactorily while the skill was activated. If this is the case, I should kick it normally. If I follow the tutorial, using the skill will cause more damage. However, I think it's okay to keep it normal even if it is subtracted.
Then I decided to defeat the boars while mining for about two hours. For mining, you can get items by finding a mining point on the ground and digging with the pickaxe.
This is what I got.
Stone: Rarity 1 Material Quality F-
Stone that will become a road. It can be found off the road or in the meadow. The most readily available ore.
Well, it's the first item, so it's natural. But Lily is curious.
"What's that? Takuto"
"This is a stone. It's a material for Lily's weapon"
"Hee! Then I have to collect a lot!"
Oh. It is helpful to understand it quickly.
"Then, I'm mining, so Lily should defeat boars"
"Leave it to me! I won't lose to boars!"
After successfully mining and defeating the remaining boars, a number of nice infos flowed along the way.
First of all, when I went up to Summoner Lv2.
《The level of summoner has increased. The number of summoned beasts that can join the party has increased by one》
《The level of summoner has increased. Skill points 1pt acquired》
Similarly, the same info was played at Lv3 and Lv4 and now I can have up to four summoned beasts. The remaining skill points are 20pt.
For the time being, Lily's weapon is probably the highest priority at this point. My weapon is a staff and a basic recovery role. It will be a low priority. Well, I want to hunt more, but we couldn't hunt any more because my fullness is in the red zone here.
At the end, my level went up variously, so let's check the status.
