Chapter 83.2. We’re Moving Out!

-Miu’s POV-

The Night of Magic has a lot of tricks, such as continuous magic that could auto-attack and [Floating Sword]. I used to mutter things like Pikin and pretend to be a new type “Go! Sword bit!”

[I guess that’s just the way it is in real life. There were masked statuses and skills in the game as well.]

[Probably so. But I wonder if this will help my mom. I wanted to do something about my dad too].

In the novel’s world, intruders appear before the protagonists with ease. The protagonists are usually surprised, despite the tight security, but standing there in full armor, while intimidating, is of no use at all against the intruders in the first place. It’s the novel’s world. The guards are extremely weak against enemies who hide and infiltrate. The significance of the escort is questionable.

In the mansion that Mii-chan protects, they’ll find anyone. The puppies will tell the guard by his barking. In case they fight, finding them isn’t a problem. The guards are physically strong. If they found an intruder, they won’t get defeated unless the enemies are big deal.

I look at Geri and Freki. The two animals are sleeping on my mom’s lap on the opposite side of the room, showing their stomachs. It doesn’t look wild at all.

My mom smiles and pats the puppies’ bellies. My dad sits next to her and also looks happy as he gently pats Freki’s belly. My dad has never had a pet, so he’s very curious. I understand. Pets are soothing, you know. And Geri and Freki, who understand human languages, are smarter than any dog.

[It’s difficult for my dad. But there’s a way to make it work, right?]

[Yeah, there’s a reward from the stampede.]

Frigg-oneesan is right. The stampede events, including the recent King Mantis battle. I got a reward for clearing the event.

I got an enhancement crystal that can strengthen a weapon without using materials. The number of these seemed to fluctuate depending on how I prevented the stampede’s damage, and I got the max number of 10. And then there were the items as fixed rewards.

[Bracelet of Increased Strength: level 20, HP +50, strength +5].

My non-magician dad is weak. He’s a mob citizen, level 1. So his expected HP is 12 to 8. That’s an estimation from the ordinary player base HP at level 1. Well, I guess it’s different from my game specification. Still, it’s better than not equipping it.

I plan to give another gift along with it.

[Replica Dragon Ring: Level 5, Defense +5]

At first glance, it looks like an ordinary iron ring. To our eyes, though. The ring is made with the job of [Mechanic] to increase the defense just a little bit. It’s a better item than nothing, but for the average person, this should still be a helpful item.

It’s an item that a mysterious investor plans to give to my father as a gift, just for good measure.

By the way, when ordinary people wear our equipment, it will reflect the best performance. Rings, bracelets, necklaces. They can equip up to three, but if they have more than one ring, they will be in the order of level, followed by masked performance.

This is what Grandpa Odin verified. So it’s also in a hypothetical stage. I heard he used rats, not humans, to experiment with the equipment.

[If it’s like this. Well, I’m just worried, but I think it’s better.]

[It’s also our weakness.]

[Weakness?]

[Yes. Perhaps the inhabitants of this world can equip more than one accessory, as long as they are not game-specific. Unless it’s equipment with contradictory effects. From my research of past history, Nobunaga Oda wears a crown, a circlet, rings on all his fingers, and a jangling pile of necklaces. As do most of the portraits]

[Oh, …… he was so cautious. But that would destroy the image of Nobunaga Oda, wouldn’t it? He looks like a vulgar old man of adult money, right?]

It looks awful. The current emperor didn’t equip it, so he probably valued his image.

[Since he is smiling, he must have enjoyed the other person’s reaction.]

[I see. That’s very Nobunaga-like.]

Multiple accessories, huh? I guess we can’t equip them. I’m jealous. But you don’t see many people wearing accessories today.

[I don’t know if the technique of making excellent magical tools was lost or if only Nobunaga could create such powerful magic tools in the first place. Instead, today, we have magic armor with multiple effects. Jarring and bulky accessories must have fallen into disuse.]

[I see. The magic armor has some good points, but was it an invention that erased the technology of the past?]

There’s a certain prosperity in technology, isn’t there? By the way, Grandpa, are you reading my mind? Well, okay.

[Let’s collect some accessories. Frigg-oneesan, can you do that for me?]

[Good, but isn’t there something in the house you inherited?]

[Oh, yeah. Yes, I think so. We’re about to arrive.]

The magic limousine, also a floating car, flew through the sky, and I thought it would arrive in no time.

“Papa, Mama, I can see some smoke.”

I could see smoke rising from the window. A vast garden with soaring trees that could be mistaken for a forest, and a large Western-style mansion can be seen in the distance, but together, smoke is rising as if there was a volcanic eruption.

Is he preparing to give a big welcome? Are they going to throw a party?
