Chapter 457 - Chapter 406: Rewards Other Than Money
Friday
For now, it seems there are more Cait Sith than players.
"Indeed, Nat also called it Cat Island."
Bell-buchou was in Mion's studio, talking about yesterday's live stream.
By the way, I was silently continuing to strip the bathroom tiles. I thought I could manage by washing them, but tiles are pottery, so I realized it would be faster to make new ones since I have Pottery skill.
Restricting entry to the island seems difficult, I wonder how they're doing it?
It seems the fan club members are doing it in shifts.
The conditions apparently are that one must belong to a player's guild, and each person must deposit one Dragon Coin upon visiting. If there are any misdeeds on Natural Ramune's island, it will be confiscated...
Dragon Coins are likely to be used in future World Quests, and will definitely be necessary once we can go to the Dragon Capital.
"That's a clever idea."
It seems to be Anshia-san's idea. Natural Ramune-san said so.
"Haha..."
By the way, today Miki was at Nat's house, tutoring Nao-chan.
During school, it was only on Sundays, but apparently, during summer vacation, it would be like this until her homework was finished.
Miki will be joining our training camp from the beginning of August, after all.
"Phew, take this."
"Nya."
The stripped old tiles were put into a wooden box, and once a certain amount accumulated, Shal and the others would carry them outside. This was for collective disposal in the backyard.
Bell-buchou, were you and the others just sightseeing on the island?
Yes. We did get to see the Ancient Ruins and the rumored unfinished ship, but I believe Natural Ramune should still be leading the conquest.
"Doesn't that mean Leona-sama was just idling around...?"
Not really? She actually quite likes cute things...
So she said.
She was apparently content just doting on the Cait Sith all the time.
I understand the feeling well. I'm also content just doting on Lupi and the others.
"Ryu."
"Thanks."
Paan finished stripping the last tile, leaving the floor and walls bare.
These plasterboard-like panels, are they an application of stone walls? I might know if I could get the Architecture skill.
How was the ship?
I'm not detailed about that kind of thing, but many of my guild members were interested, so I got a copy of the blueprints.
The ship was a size called a carrack, which would probably be suitable for carrying a fair amount of cargo.
However, right now, it seems useful only to kingdoms, republics, and the Demon Kingdom, which face the sea.
"Speaking of which, there was a Demon Kingdom update, but you haven't been there, have you?"
Many people have just started, so it's a bit awkward to go now. I'm thinking of waiting until things settle down a bit.
Um... what is Shou-kun's older sister doing?
Oh, that's right.
Marie-nee was one of the first to enter the Demon Kingdom, so did she go all the way to the Demon Capital after all?
Marie-san was in Amiera Territory the day before yesterday, and was even going into the Dwarf Dungeon with Leona-san.
"Eh~, that's unusual. I would have expected her to assault the Dragon Capital after the Demon Kingdom..."
It seems Season-san wanted to return once. And her equipment would be much better, too.
I see.
Wow, really, I'm sorry for everything.
At this point, shouldn't I be sending mid-year gifts or something...
And now, I'd like to hear about your side of things. Azure Dragon came yesterday, didn't he?
"Ah, yes. Mainly about fixing the piano and the players' guild."
I talked about the White Dragon Princess coming along, that the Dwarves might be able to fix the piano, and if not, I'd form a guild and ask players in the Necropolis for help, and so on.
Regarding the Transfer Magic Circle, I decided to keep it secret until I knew more.
Bell-buchou, you're in favor of Shou-kun establishing a guild, right?
Of course, we'll back you up with all our might!
She was eager.
If I put out a request for piano repair, having the Silver Manor accept it would be the most reassuring.
However, whether we can fix the piano ourselves, we won't know without seeing the real thing. Also, I don't know anyone who can tune it.
"Hmm. Still, asking someone whose background I don't know... there's also the possibility of the piano being stolen..."
I don't think that would happen, honestly? If they make an enemy of Shou-kun, they'll make an enemy of the Dragonkin, after all.
That's right.
"Eh~..." I thought, but it's true that Argenta-san would probably get really angry. Yeah, I have a bad feeling about that.
"For now, I'll ask the viewers about various things during the next live stream."
I think that's a good idea. I thought a viewer-participation live stream wouldn't be possible for your channel, but in the form of requests, it becomes doable, doesn't it?
I see...
But if I do that,
"What about the request rewards? I don't have any in-game money."
How about weapons Shou-kun made?
Or perhaps the island's vegetables and fruits? But there's the freshness issue, so maybe dried fruit...
Is that really enough?
Ah, for adults, alcohol might be an option. Speaking of which, Argenta-san probably has money, so it might be fine to have her pay on my behalf.
"Ryu?"
"Ah, sorry, sorry."
Paan worriedly asked if I was okay, because I had been lost in thought.
The old tiles would be granulated, washed with water, then mixed with red clay for reuse.
Also, how about a wooden statue of the Jade Goddess that Shou-kun made?
"That's... I don't like it; it feels like giving Mion away."
Ah...
The one in the Necropolis is displayed in the church, and the Dragonfolk are managing it properly, so that's fine, but...
Alright, alright. Then how about a wooden carving of Lupi-chan?
"Well, if that's the case..."
Come to think of it, I had also talked about making wooden carvings of Lupi and Sweee.
I'll try that next time the weather is bad.
