Chapter 14: Defense Specialized and Fishing Day

Ohh! The town looks like this!

Risa looked around, and raised a voice happily. Looking at Risa to herself at the start of the game, she thought about it nostalgically.

Kaedesoh-tothats dangerous. The difference between the looks of Maples equipment are too high it feels bad

Risa rephrased it to her player name and talked.

Kaede also need to be careful to not call Risa by Risa.

Ahaha, well you only have beginners equipments

Risa and Kaede immediately registered as friends, and when they made a party, she showed Kaede her status.

You raised many kinds of status huh

This is normal you know! I didnt raise VIT,MP, and HP for the mean time right now

Why?

Dodging everything, if it was no damage, HP and VIT isnt needed right! Im still not sure if Im going to use magicso MP and INT is okay if its low for now. STR is because I want to use some weapons

Youre thinking a lot huh

Because Kaede only needed to raise her VIT after levelling up, so she doesnt need to think about anything.

Fufufuthere are a lot of things needed to be thought about compared to a person who has no damage from attacks. Now that I think about itwasnt the 3rd prize anequipment?

Risa was curious because they were still the equipments that she had heard.

That was commemoration medal. I was expecting that it mightve been an equipment though

Wellits not sure that it would still be like that the next eventoh-to, then? where are we going right now?

When Kaede said that the destination was to the underground lake, *FumuFumu* Risa nodded. Looks like she has an idea.

If its that, leave it to me! I have a great idea

Kaede listened to her honestly.

Risa was sprinting towards the underground lake. Even inside the game, moving a lot will make the brain tired and the movement dulls, but this has individual differences with players.

Depending on how good the brain works, differences between reaction and stamina will have effects on player skills.

The reason why Risa can run this much was because she was used to VR.

And Kaede at that time.

She was clinging on Risas back.

She removed all her usual heavy equipments, so there might be more people who wouldnt know it was Maple.

STR stats are not relevant on equipping armors, but

if it was carrying, STR is needed the more armor there is.

That is the reason that she removed her equipments.

Three wolf-type monsters ahead! Maple!

I understand!

Saying that, Risa put Kaede down and took a distance.

Risa who has high AGI carry Kaede and runs to the underground lake, and if there is an enemy encounter she puts down Kaede to fight them, with that division of roles, they arrived at the underground lake one fifth of the time it would take for Kaede to go alone.

Ohhhhh! It was very fast!!

Kaede, re-equipping, said that.

Risa was proud because she was useful immediately.

Fufufukneel before me!

Ha,ha! Sally-sama!

With the farce moderately, the two started fishing. Risa also bought her fishing rod, so they lined and waited together after hanging a thread towards the lake.

And an hour after they started fishing.

I-Its finally the third one!

Oh, it got hooked again!

The fishing result was, 3 fishes for Kaede.

And 12 fishes for Risa.

Thanks to coming here on level 1, just killing the fished fishes, my level went up

In fact, Risas level rose to 6.

In addition.

Fishingskill get! my first skill is FishinghuhI cant say that Maple is weird huh

Fishingskill requirement needs more than 20 DEX so it a skill Kaede wouldnt have forever.

Wont Sally use the status points?

I will do that after taking a few skills. Fighting style can be decided by skillsso I thought I should keep the status points. I can fight decently with base stats too

Youre good you advanced player!

Well, its true I played a lot of games

After saying that, they continued fishing for another hour.

Kaedes fishing result hadnt changed.

But Risa who gained the skill Fishing her fishing results became 20 fishes.

How is it? Is it enough?

Unlast houris it okay?

Its okay! But, I want to test somethingso instead of fishing, can I go hunt by diving?

Its okay, but can you do something like that?!

I think its possible. I mean, it is Maple who was testing ridiculous things up until now you know? I think that if its with my AGI, I could probably kill at least one fish in a school? Since, Im good in swimming

After saying that, Risa jumped to the underground lake.

Then, do your best!

Un! Ill go hunt a lot

After saying that, Risa dove. And just like that, Risa who swam around the underground lake returned after an hour. She was breathing heavily, but you wouldnt think that she was sprinting earlier with her stamina that was left.

After getting Swimming I and Diving I, it got easier!

After saying that, Risa took out 80 pure-white scales from her inventory.

C-Can I have this?

I dont need it tooin exchange, you should help me the next time

Then, with that! I promise Ill help you

Kaede thankfully placed the 80 pieces of scales to her inventory. And there, Risa started talking with a serious face.

NeMaple. If I was correct, wasnt the dungeon found right now only two?

UhmmUn, thats right

At the bottom of the underground lake, there was a small side hole

! That is!

Risa who couldnt hide her excitement nodded.

It might be a dungeons entrancebut

UnI cant go right

With Kaedes status, she wouldnt be able to dive decently. If she drowns, its her first death.

Thats why, Im thinking of capturing it carefully. I might also get a unique series just like Maplethats why

When Kaede understood what Risa was trying to say, she said, interrupting her.

Un, Ill help you to come to the underground lake! I can return the debt instantly!

I thought that you would tell that! As expected of Maple!

Eheheits not that much!

They only needed to logout to return, so to increase the level of Swimming and Diving Risa once again, started swimming.
