Magic Warrior Chapter 52 (Patreon)

Appointment

Dinner is over, and we decide on a plan for tomorrow.

Reda-san explains the situation up to yesterday.

"Could there be a spider queen, the Spider Queen?"

"It's just a possibility, but I can't say for sure.

"We can try to find her while defeating the poison spider, Poison Spider, right?"

"Yes, I'll ask Alphos and the others. Marc, you're coming with me.

"Okay, but what about Reda? But what about Reda?

Reda-san crossed his arms and smiled.

"I'm going to explore with the three newcomers over here," he said.

"Poisonous spider Poison is okay, but there might be a Queen, right? Isn't that dangerous?"

"We've already defeated the Demon Spider Demon. Even if they find us, we should be able to escape.

"Really?

Alphos-San and the others were surprised.

"Gina, can you defeat the Demon Spider Demon?"

"I don't think I can do it alone...maybe Alphos and Mirell and I can do it together?"

"It would be troublesome if it strikes us surprised. But this time there are four of us, including Marc.

Yesterday, we were attacked by poison spider Poison, but with Alphos, we can heal, so it's better than yesterday.

"Leave it to me! I can take care of it!

Alphos-san can also heal? I didn't know since he only used a spear when we explored the ruins, but I guess he is a monk or a holy knight type?

At any rate, we settled on reducing the number of poisonous spiders in the southern forest. I guess there is nothing else we can do with the information we have now.

"I heard that Mina-chan and the others are participating, so I've prepared many things. Use them as you see fit."

Gina-san tossed me a magic bag. The magic bag he handed me was in the shape of a backpack.

"Oh, by the way, the magic bag was costly when I saw it in town..."

"Oh, Marc told me that Mina-chan might become an adventurer. We all decided that if we found something in the ruins, we would give it to her as a gift."

"Oh, I see. Well, thank you very much."

Reda-san had also received another magic bag from Gina-san.

"Even if it's just a search in the neighborhood, you should at least bring the bare minimum of equipment, right?"

"Haha, no face. ...I was desperate to escape from the guild."

I've never seen Reda-san with a weapon other than a dagger, but I guess he wasn't prepared....

◇ ◇

After Alphos-san and the others left, Claire and Rilfana were checking the contents of the magic bag that Gina-san had given them.

"Three one-handed swords, two daggers, a short staff, a shield, a robe, and two boots and gloves each. Um, and the other..."

Claire took them out of the magic bag one by one, but there was a lot of equipment.

Among them, there were three one-handed swords in the bag, possibly because of the possibility of breaking them with the magic sword. I am sure Alphos-san did not say that the weapons could be broken, but did Alphos-san see through it?

I wondered if Alphos-San had not told us that our weapons would be broken, or if he had not told us that we would have to go to the town to get our equipment, or if he had not told us that we would be able to get our equipment.

"Is this medicine? There are about five of each kind."

"This one is for detoxification and this one seems to be for injuries. There is also a potion for restoring magic power.

Rilfana appears to be able to figure out which medicine it is by looking at it, probably because she has pharmacist skills.

Since I would not be able to tell at this point, I asked Rilfana to write the type of potion on the package.

Unlike potions, normal medicines take time to take effect after being drunk or applied.

The potion that came in the package was also said to restore magic power gradually after drinking it. The amount of effect is also considerably less than that of potions.

"Is it the same as the pills Rilfana made?"

"I am sure that the one I made is more effective."

The effect of Rilfana's pharmacist will be applied, so the effect will be higher.

"Also, I was able to make two bottles of magic potions..."

"So you can make them if you're a pharmacist?"

"The ones you used to make with spider's eyeballs."

Oh, that's what's in it...

Rilfana produced a potion in a not-so-transparent glass bottle that Claire had gotten from an empty bottle at the grocery store.

"I don't use much magic, so I'll give one bottle each to Mina-sama and Claire-sama."

"Oh, I don't have much magic to use currently either..."

"Is that so?"

It was common knowledge to players who had played with the Mage Warriors to some extent that they could use almost any kind of magic.

I think that the reason why SeveChro can use basic magic from the beginning is because they are at level 80 when they change jobs. Also, it appears that you can't use magic that you don't know exists, such as living magic, although it is natural. I guess that means you have to learn magic that didn't exist in the game by reading books or asking someone to teach you.

My level was 21 when I used the appraisal paper in town, so I would like to see if I can use more magic just by raising my level.

I also defeated a high-level Demon Spider, so maybe I'll be able to use at least one more spell.

"Well, I'll keep a bottle for myself, and I'll give one to Claire-sama as well, but it's not difficult to make, so you can drink it without worrying if you think you need it."

"Umm, yes. Thanks, Rilfana-chan."

The pills Rilfana had made were still drying, so before we left, we decided to divide all the pills except for the potions equally among the three of us.

...Was it my turn to sleep alone today? I was thinking that it was my turn to sleep alone today when Claire sneaked into my bed.

I still don't know what order I'm in because I don't move around.

I mean, Dad, can't you hurry up and make a bed for Rilfana? I can't do it until the spiders get out of the way.

After breakfast, we went to Claire's.

After breakfast, Claire and I were putting on our protective gear when Rilfana came in with the pills she had made and sorted them with the other medicines.

"Pills and ointments are not breakable, so you might want to put them in a regular pouch so you can get them out quickly."

"Shall we use the divider board that came with the pouch?"

Separate the pouch with the board and throw in each type of medicine.

Once the lid is securely closed, he attaches it to his waist and moves it lightly to make sure it doesn't get in the way.

"Big Sister, should I also take the short cane that Alphos-san and the others gave me?"

"Hmm, it's straight, so I guess I could keep it in my magic bag, but I probably won't use it."

"Well, in that case, I'll take it with me."

Rilfana was to take the entire magic bag that Gina-san had given her. I'll borrow it in case I might pick up a spider or some other material that I can pick up.

I also replaced the iron sword with one that Alphos-san had brought with him, instead of the one that was a memento of my father's. All three swords were of the same shape, weight, and weight.

All three have the same shape and center of gravity, so they might be mass-produced.

"Hey, Alphos and the others are here."

The Alphos-sans who were staying at the inn seemed to have arrived, and my dad called me outside.

"Oh, you look a little more comfortable in your clothes."

"You look a little more like an adventurer now, don't you?"

"Mm-hmm."

I was a little happy to hear Gina-san, who gave me the armor, say that.

Can you fight in a maid's uniform?"

"I've modified it."

"I see...cool."

Mirell-san was checking Rilfana's modified maid uniform by touching it. He seemed to have found something in it.

"Hey, sorry, sorry, I haven't had a weapon for a while, so it didn't feel right, and it took me a while to get ready."

Reda-san arrived with a small lute on his back and a blunt mace on his hip.

He was dressed in a poncho-style jacket and knee-length pants, unlike yesterday, and looked almost the same as his normal clothes, just more comfortable to move around in.

"It's been a while since I've seen <Lullaby's> Reda in full gear."

"Well, I don't need it in the guild, you know."

Since "Lullaby Reda" seems to be Reda-san's title, does that mean she is a bard or a minstrel?

In most games, poet bard and bard minstrel tend to be confused, but in SeveChro, they are similar but firmly different professions. Both are professions that use a skill called spell-singing jyukka. They have supportive role-roles that put magical power on instruments and singing to buff a wide range of allies and debuffs enemies to weaken them.

If there is a poet bird or bard minstrel, it can be cast on nearby party members, so it is easier to demonstrate its true value in battles with a large number of people, such as large-scale raids. Of course, if there is more than one person in the party, it is also possible to stack different spells on top of each other.

The minstrel bard, derived from the poet bard who specialized in logistical support, was also capable of close combat involving street performance due to its etymology. Since they were derived from the poet bird, and both were treated as advanced positions, they had some disadvantages compared to the poet bird, but it was significant to have the ability to defend oneself.

We were to defeat the poisonous spider by splitting up into two parties: Alphos-san's party of four and our party of four.

We were to fight near each other instead of splitting up completely, but I guess there was a problem with the chain of command.

We entered the forest to the south, and the eight of us went deeper into the forest.

"Was it around here?"

Dad stepped forward cautiously, examining the nearby trees.

"Yes, that's right. Alphos and the others will fight within range of my sound, and Mina-chan and the others will take down any spiders that come near the sound for a while.

Reda-san set up his lute and let out a melody.
