Chapter 25: Library utilization method and producer request
I went off on a magic tangent, but there are other things I want to know, so I'm going to continue my research. First, about monsters and summoned beasts.
There was a detailed description of these as well.
First, the monsters that appear in the Beginning Meadow.
Daytime
Boar, Chick.
Night
Boar, Bat, Wolf.
This is how the monsters in the Beginning Meadow are grouped.
Summon monsters
Wolf, Bat, Chick.
Tame monsters
Wolf, Boar, Chick
Next is the Young Tree Forest, where there are many monsters that appear.
Daytime
Goblin, Wolf, Squirrel, Chick, Spider, Caterpillar, Bee, Bear, Slime, ☆Gerbera Grow, ★Wolfman, Sickle Killer, Desnia, Lynch Ant, Big Ant, Carnivorous Plant, Rampaging Chicken, Rampaging Bear.
Night
Goblin, Wolf, Bat, Tiger, Lion, Owl, ☆Gerbera Grow, ★Wolfman, Sickle Killer, Desnia, Lynch Ant, Big Ant, Rampaging Bear.
...I want to add a tsukkomi to the naming. What's a wolfman? Isn't it a werewolf? I guess sickle killer is also a praying mantis...but I got a feeling it's an assassin for gay men only. That army ant's name is Lynch Ant? Probably from a group lynching.
Here's how the monsters of the Young Tree Forest are grouped.
Summoned beast monsters
Wolf, Chick, Goblin, Owl, Spider, Bee, Bear, Slime, Tiger, Lion
Tame monsters
Wolf, Chick, Squirrel, Goblin, Caterpillar, Big Ant, Sickle Killer, Rampaging Bear, Tiger, Lion
Normal Monsters
☆Gerbera Grow, ★Wolfman, Lynch Ant, Desnia, Carnivorous Plant, Rampaging Chicken
Sickle Killer...can be a companion. I can't do that. Maybe it doesn't want to be a companion.
But what's with the black star on the Wolfman? Gerbera Grow also has a star, but this one is white. I guess there's something to it, though, judging by the order. By the way, Gerbera is the name of a flower. The orange one is probably the most famous. I think it means mystery in flower language. I learned it from a lady at a flower shop.
I looked up other skills, but as expected, there was no detailed information on how to get them...too bad. Still, there was one skill that caught my interest. It was the fishing skill!
No, I have the cooking skill and I only cook meat all the time, so I don't have a choice. But I don't know how to get it.
"Umm. I want to cook fish"
"Fish!"
Ion overreacted to my mumbling.
"Are you by any chance a fish lover?"
"Eh!? N, No!? No, I'm not!?"
That reaction is clearly a favorite......and she's chewing on the last word.
Ion is trying to match me. Lily may be overstated, but I think she can be a little more selfish. I stroke Ion's head.
"Ah!? ......n"
"I'm going to make a fish dish anyway. If there is anything you like, don't hesitate to tell me. Do you understand?"
"Y......Yes. Then, umm......can I have more head strokes?"
Guhaa!? Damn! Cute!
"Of course"
I'm stroking Ion's head and Lily discovers it.
"Aaa! Ion-chan! That's not fair!"
Lily gets noisy, so I leave the library. We have to be quiet in the library. In case you were wondering, my reading skill has leveled up.

Well, next up is a request for Crow-san to create a weapon for Ion. And while we're at it, let's discuss equipment for Lily and me.
"""Good morning"""
"Ou. Welcome──strike!"
The three of us greeted him nicely, Crow-san interrupted the greeting and shouted......I didn't throw the ball, though.
"Hey, you! What's with that girl!?"
Ah, it's his first time seeing Ion.
"I just summoned a new one a few minutes ago. Ion, say hello"
"Y, Yes. I'm Ion. Nice to meet you"
"Cr, Crow. Nice to meet you"
When Crow-san tried to hold Ion's hand, Ruin-san stopped him. Well done.
"Nuguu!?"
"You don't need to hold hands, do you? Or do you want me to report you to GM?"
GM? What's the point of reporting to an American car manufacturer? That's what I thought, but later I heard that it's an internet game term for the administration of a game. Is Koyanagi-san going to be the GM? No, he's in development, so he's not? It's a mystery.
"Le, Let go......, why are you here?"
"We talked about this yesterday, right? I thought Takuto-kun would come in early, so I came here"
"Ah. That story"
"? Are you talking to me, by any chance?"
"Yes. I have a story in anticipation of Takuto-kun"
I have a bad feeling about this.
"Please don't look at me like that. It's not a bad story"
You know what? If it's not a bad deal, it's not a good deal either.
"Then, let's just talk first"
"Good decision. All right, well, I've got an assignment for you. It's to escort us"
"Escort?"
"Yeah. I've already told you a little bit about the situation we're in, we can't get into the Young Tree Forest"
"Ah......you mentioned that"
As I recall, she was talking about how a lot of players are returning to death there.
"So there was talk about you on the forums, Takuto-kun. There's been a lot of talk about you on the forums, like you had a wolf, a tiger or an owl, I've never seen before"
Yeah, Kotetsu and Konoha joined us last night and Gray evolved. I'm sure there are many witnesses.
"But you don't have them with you today, do you?"
"Yes. I made a contract with them and now I'm carrying them around with me as a summoned stone. They were angry with me for taking them all around with me"
"Well, I suppose that's true......so, Takuto-kun, you're capturing the Young Tree Forest, right?"
Capture? Umm......are piranhas considered capture?
"It's not really a capture, it's more like I'm killing a lot of giant piranhas"
"And you're coming back safely after doing that, right?"
"Yes"
"That's a relief. Therefore will you accept it? The reward is Takuto-kun´s equipment for free?"
M......might be a pretty good deal, but you'll have to wait a bit.
"What's it like to be an escort? We haven't explored too far"
"We're not going to go that deep either, but there's momentum on the spot, but if you do that, you're at your own risk. So even if you return to death, we'll pay well"
Well, I was going to explore the area after requesting a weapon, so why not accept it? I'm indebted to Ruin-san, you know"
"I'm not sure how much help I can be, but if that's okay with you"
"It's settled"
For some reason, Crow-san is pouting. Isn't there so much ore?
"Is it okay if we start at noon?"
"How about 13:00? We don't have much time if we go now"
"No problem"
So I accepted the escort request, but when I asked for the essential Ion equipment, they were surprised.
"So the dual wield sword skill is real"
"Yes, there are ninjas, thieves, hunters and others who use two daggers, but I've never heard of anyone with two swords. It may be hidden"
"If they did, they'd be bragging about it"
"Yeah"
That's the way it is, isn't it? I have a lot of magic! I also have a title! Yeah, it's not suitable. Like this.
And there are ninjas, right? There are a lot of professions in this game, aren't there? This game.
"Ion doesn't have much strength, so will it be a dagger after all?"
"How much strength does she have?"
"8"
"That means two stone daggers would be the limit"
Ah, no. You can't use ores......it cant be helped.
"Then, please do that. I'll prepare the material here"
"Well, we won't use the stone dagger for free"
I guess so.
"Here it is"
Stone Dagger: Rarity 1 Dagger Quality F
Weight: 4 Durability: 20 Attack: 5
A dagger made of stone. It's a light weapon, so it's popular for jobs that require little strength. However, the sharpness is not so good.
Crow-san gave me two stone daggers. Anyway, if the performance is the same, it should be faster, right? He sold it to me, but I got the money very early. Well, I wonder if it can't be helped.
