Chapter 492 - Chapter 438 The Rest Is Up To You
"For these requests, if there are many applicants, there will be a lottery. For the procedures, please follow the Dragonfolk who are managing the Necropolis branch office." I also added that Dragon Coins would need to be deposited to participate in the lottery, to prevent request fraud or reselling.
[Kincoji] "Okay, okay, understood."
[Fel] "Doesn't seem like anyone would take that kind of risk lol."
[Marcy] "Thanks for the lottery. I'd be bankrupt if it were an auction."
[Datron] "
Etc.etc...
I waited for the comments to calm down, eating fruit jelly. There was one more request. The piano.
"Shou-kun. The last request is for piano repair, right?"
"Yes. Regarding this, as I mentioned before, I wanted to entrust it to someone reliable, so the contractor has already been decided."
"We've decided to ask Majo Bell-san's guild, which you all know."
[Storay] "Whoa, really?"
[Kokuri] "That's stable then~"
[Rakan] "Nice, nice!"
[Natai] "Can we help?"
Etc.etc...
Ah, it seems there were people who wanted to take the request. Seth had also thought about such reactions.
"The repair work is planned to be done in a section of the Necropolis. We've heard that observation will be allowed, but for details, please watch Majo Bell's Manor's stream tomorrow."
I was relieved that Mion's explanation seemed to satisfy most people. Apparently, because of its high difficulty, it's a request that puts pressure on anyone who takes it, so it takes courage to accept it. So, it was a relief that the famous Bell-buchou and [Silver Manor] took it on?
"Please state the reward for completing the request."
"Yes. The reward is the transfer magic circle found on the island."
[Kusacoro] "Whaaaaaat!?"
[Femra] "Seriously!!!???"
[Marusan] "Eeeeh!!"
[Babanban] "Ehhhhhhh!"
[Wasanko] "What??!!"
[Datron] "
[Gafugafu] "Whoaaa!"
Etc.etc...
The comment section, as expected, no, even more so, scrolled by too fast for me to keep up. Mion probably can't read this either. Well, any troublesome comments would just get lost in the flow, so I'd explain the reason now.
"You might be asking why I'm giving it up, but it's a hassle to keep it sealed, and I think it's better to give it to a player who can make good use of it."
[Porporu] "Isn't that a waste?"
[Meike] "Ah, it's a good decision rather than having weird people show up."
[Choccol] "Understood. It's a lot of trouble, after all!"
[Foifoi] "Shou-kun has a boat, so it's fine, right?"
Etc.etc...
I caught a glimpse of the word 'boat,' but I wondered how a Small Magic Boat would fare to the mainland. It would take quite a long time, and monsters would definitely appear during that time.
"If it absolutely becomes necessary to leave the island, Azure-san can transport me."
"Shal-kun and the others were transported by her, after all."
"That's right. It looked a bit scary, though…" Shal had a terrible experience. Although that might have been partly because he was put in a Small Magic Boat, I'd want to be in one of those Dragon Baskets if I ever had to ride. Though I don't intend to go.
[Uppii] "Dragon taxi!?"
[Kedaman] "Eh? So, Shou-kun can go to the Dragon Capital already?"
[Giganoto] "Please visit the mainland sometime!"
[Doradora] "He can explore other islands!"
Etc.etc...
"Well, that's why I'm planning to give it to someone who will use it. They've also promised to report back after all their investigations are done." The comment section became even more lively with that news. I wanted to explore the ancient ruins as much as possible during the training camp period.
"Shou-kun. We have 15 minutes left, so should we move to questions now?"
"Roger. For matters concerning the requests, I've already created the request forms, so I think they'll be handled with future requests." At best, I might add a bonus to the reward? That's fine, but is it okay for the comment section to be filled with questions like this?
"Um, I'll start with this question. Will you make wooden statues other than Lupi-chan and Sweee-chan?"
"Yeah, of course. I'll make True and Pan too, and Leda, Roy, and Raz as well." Deciding the order is tough, but I want to start on True's wooden statue while we're at the port.
"What about making many with Self-Replication Arts?"
"Hmm. It's fine, but if it's just that…" The number of requests would be insane, and I might end up making them constantly. Besides, my intention is just to issue the requests.
[Jonto] "That would take up too much time~"
[Mogurin] "Fakes would probably appear."
[Yunosuke] "What about issuing licenses?"
[Nantsuu] "Shou-kun's unique, non-replicated items have value, after all."
Etc.etc...
Licenses… Hmm. The thing is, even if I got money, I don't really need it. After making the first one, I was fine with someone else making copies, so we moved to the next question. "Are there any other necessary ores?"
"Um, I have gold, silver, copper, Mithril, and Light Silver, so any other ores? This time, I need Purple Steel Ore to make the alloy Heavy Silver Steel."
"It's for new weapons, right?"
"That's right. I remade my Ken-nata, but its performance was a bit subtle. So I want to try making one with a different, heavier metal." A lot of advice flowed by in the comments, and it seemed the Purple Steel Ore I had my eye on was indeed the best choice. Apparently, it's ideal for hard and heavy weapons like warhammers or war maces.
"Thank you. If I can make a good weapon with that, I plan to aim for the tower at the northern tip."
"There are only a few unexplored places left on the island."
[Kokudo] "Finally!"
[Messerin] "Looks like you'll make it by summer~"
[Yonro] "Oh, don't you want a ring with administrator authority?"
[Izayoi] "What will you do once you've explored the entire island?"
Etc.etc...
Ah, the rings with administrator authority, the general administrator ones called [Azure Cloud Ring], there are quite a few left over, aren't there? But still…
"I'll only consider the ring if I go to that tower and still can't enter."
"First, we need to get there."
"Right." Well, it seemed like time was almost up, but was it okay to just end with a song today?
