Chapter 285 - Chapter 252: The Fluffy Retainers
Alright, that's it for today. See you all again! Goodbye~
"See ya~"
"Woof~"
"~~~♪"
I assumed Mion's stream had already stopped, but I waited until the flood of comments ceased.
Donations of around 300 yen flowed steadily, probably amounting to about 15,000 yen…
Shou-kun, good work.
"Yeah, you too, Mion."
As I responded, the comment flow stopped, and I breathed a sigh of relief.
Today's stream ended at the scheduled 9:30 PM, so I still had some time to play.
"Now, what to do?"
Shall we go back to the mountain cabin and write a letter to the Dragons?
"Ah, that's right. Yeah, let's go back and drop off our stuff first."
Whatever I planned to do, I had to put away the sauces, dried fish, kelp, and `Camlus Fruit` first.
That's right. I was planning to make woodcraft tools out of `Mithril` before making the `Goddess Statue`.
"Woof."
"Hm? Lupi?"
Lupi seemed to be asking me to wait a moment, or rather, she was talking to the `Drab Wolves` parents.
Should I have left more dried fish?
""Bow!""
"Woof!"
"Eh?"
One pup from each family, probably a younger brother or sister, stepped forward before Lupi.
Sweee watched, clapping her little hands.
"What's going on?"
Shou-kun. Isn't it that they want to follow Lupi?
"Woof-un."
Lupi puffed out her chest and responded, so that must be it.
With two more, they could probably secure their own food, so it wouldn't be a problem at all, but…
"Should I `Tame` them? Otherwise, I don't want them getting caught in a fight…"
Yes. They both look like they're waiting, don't they?
When she said that, I looked and indeed, their tails were wagging vigorously.
I wonder if `Taming Skill` works for multiple animals. Well, I'll find out if I try…
"Alright, both of you, will you support me and Lupi?"
""Bow!""
[Taming successful. Please choose a name.]
Ah, that's right!
"Goddess Mion-sama, please give them names…"
Ah, yes. Uhm… how about Leda for the girl on the right, and Roy for the boy on the left?
"Okay!"
As expected of Mion. And, the one on the right was a girl.
When she said it, it certainly seemed so…
"Alright, you're Leda, and you're Roy."
""Woof~""
[Taming Skill has leveled up!]
I was glad they seemed happy.
My `Taming Skill` was now level 8, but I wonder if anything changes when it levels up?
For now, these two…
[Drab Wolf: Leda: Affection: Subordinate to Lupi]
[Drab Wolf: Roy: Affection: Subordinate to Lupi]
I see, so they're Lupi's subordinates.
Hm? Could it be that I was able to `Tame` them because Lupi is at the top?
Well, whatever. I'll ask the viewers in the next live stream.
………
……
…
"Home again."
Returning to the `mountain cabin`'s `basin`, I felt at ease seeing the familiar scenery.
Now, first to put away my luggage… The `Fairies` must be welcoming their Queen.
"""~~~♪"""
"~~~♪"
"Yes, yes. I have souvenirs, so let's go home first."
The `Fairies` greeted Leda and Roy and then climbed onto their backs.
From now on, they'll be joining us on strolls around the southern part of the island, so I'm glad they seem to get along.
"Alright, `Camlus Fruit`, one for each of you. Don't eat them all, or there won't be any left for compote."
"""~~~♪"""
The `Fairies` were picking out `Camlus Fruit` as if deciding which one was the most delicious.
In the meantime, I put the `Krupesauce` (`fish sauce`) and `Osterasauce` (`oyster sauce`) into the `Storage`.
"Woof."
""Bow.""
In front of the storehouse, Lupi seemed to be teaching Leda and Roy something?
Lupi looks so cute when she's serious, and I really want to fluff her… but I'll resist.
Will Leda and Roy sleep in the storehouse? If so, I should lay out some of the leftover `Greydeer` pelts for them.
No, first I need to write a letter to Argenta-san.
"Is reporting just 'from the `Demon Kingdom` to `Necropolis`' enough? Oh, no, I should also mention the issue of progress dropping and the territories not being fully secured…"
Are the undead reviving even after being defeated?
"The comments seemed to suggest that. I guess the players decrease late at night, and the `undead` attack and retake the conquered areas?"
The previous development of `undeveloped land` resulted in `Safe Zones` once safety was secured, and NPCs seemed to guard those, but…
Is it because it's nighttime in the game at midnight?
"Ah, right, it's night from 2 AM to 10 AM, isn't it? The `undead` would probably get stronger during that time…"
Management apparently plans to adjust the in-game night hours in the future, but it doesn't seem like it will change during the `World Quest`.
Bell-buchou and her group might have a tough time.
"They might struggle at first. But Seth (Miki) will thoroughly investigate the cause, and I think she'll notice something."
I'm not too worried about that part.
If anything, I'm more worried about Marie (Mashiro) Nee.
Do you still think that `Goddess Statue` is necessary?
"I wonder. If someone who can use `Holy Magic` can create a `holy domain`, then that might be enough. No, maybe the MP consumption or duration would be too strict…"
Assuming there's a `holy domain` spell in `Holy Magic`, if the caster logs out, the effect would normally disappear, right?
You don't have that in the `Holy Magic` you can currently use, do you?
"Yeah, I think it's because my skill level is only 2, but I have `[Purification]`, `[Healing]`, `[Calm]`, and `[Holy Light]`. Oh, if I held the scripture, I'd have a few more."
`[Calm]` is a spell to calm the mind, dispelling panic or fear. `[Holy Light]` is a light that works against the `undead`, basically a `Holy Light` spell.
Well, for now, I've only used `[Purification]` to turn `Magic Stones` into `Magic Crystal Stones`.
What will the Dragons do?
"Indeed… what will they do?"
Is it fine because they're NPCs?
They mentioned having the `Dragonfolk` secure it, but…
"Can Argenta-san or the `White Dragon Princess` talk directly with the `Goddesses`? No, maybe there's a divine revelation specifically for `Dragons`."
You're right. They said the `Goddesses` asked them to stop the calamity.
"Well, if that's the case… it'll be fine, probably."
I'm considered a non-participant in the `World Quest`, so it's better for an outsider not to say unnecessary things…
