◈ 246. [Side Story] Box Cracker (6)
Surprisingly, somehow, unbelievably!
Both boxes have finished equipment.
‘Jeenjang, I believed you! Tsarsin!’
After all, Tsarsin and I get along very well! I’ll have to set it up later and bow or bow.
SSR grade equipment came out of SSR grade boxes, and SR grade equipment came out of SR grade boxes. It’s good to be honest.
[Rewards]
– <Dagger> Blink Knife (SSR)
– <Gauntlet> Armed Assault (SR)
I first took the blink knife and whistled.
‘Oh my God, a flashing dagger!’
As a weapon, it is ordinary without any special features, but the true value of this dagger is its special ability.
After throwing the dagger, it allows the user to teleport to the dagger’s location.
The cooldown is quite long at 5 turns (15 minutes), but its fraudulent nature is revealed in that it gives the character a movement device.
The downside is that its own performance is low because it is not familiar with the blinking function.
It has weaker damage than most R-class daggers, and its durability is also low. Still, the blink function alone is worth adopting.
‘But who will give this… … There are no dagger users… … .’
Should I give it to Elise, the escort of Serenade? In addition to carrying all sorts of weapons in the swordsman he carries on his back, he also seems to be using a dagger… … .
‘ah! Or is it Belldandy?’
Since Belldandy is an assassin class, it will suit her very well and be useful.
The problem is that he is not my subordinate, but a temporary guest character.
‘… … Shall I think about it a little more?’
Once the dagger is thrown into the inventory, the next.
SR grade gauntlet, Armed Assault!
In games, it is usually abbreviated as AA.
AA is an abbreviation for Armed Assault, but also an abbreviation for Auto-Attack.
You could say it’s an abbreviation that goes well with Armed Assault, which is a basic attack strengthening equipment.
Its performance is simple and powerful, but it adds additional fixed damage to normal attacks.
The number is not high, but fixed damage accumulates as much as normal attacks accumulate, and fighters are originally a class with a high percentage of average hits.
Besides, since it’s SR-grade equipment, it’s relatively easy to farm and you can get several, so if you’re training a fighter, most of them have told you about it.
You could call it school uniform equipment.
There was a lot of explanation, but there was only one person who would wear it anyway.
‘Quylan you bastard! How many pieces of high-level equipment are you going to eat!’
The Lucky Strike (SSR) in the right hand, the Vampire General’s Boots (SSR) for the legs, the Vampire General’s Muffler (SSR) for the auxiliary equipment, and the Armed Assault (SR) in the left hand.
They are flooded with more expensive items than most of the 1st team. Even so, I still feel anxious, so I want this.
‘Is it right, my investment… … .’
It is a feeling of continuing to buy additional stocks that are falling into a blue country with a downward-sloping curve, saying, ‘Someday I’ll be able to do it!’
Anyway, since the main party members are almost equipped with equipment, the only character who can pour resources right away is Kuylan.
‘Please, let’s eat rice cake, you bastard king… … .’
Quylan is also level 50 soon.
I just want you to take the ultimate and be crowned king. please!
***
When I woke up, it was a little after noon.
I drank a glass of cold water and headed straight to the barracks. While he was pulling out his gear, he was going to throw it to Ku Ilan.
When he said he was going to meet Quylan, Lucas, who was attached as an escort, made a subtle expression. what why?
“No, since we had a little training last night… … .”
“Eh? yesterday? Did you go on a free exploration and train again?”
“yes. Me, Evangeline, Damian, and Quylan. The four of us.”
“Why don’t you guys keep sticking together without me?”
I feel sorry for you, Prince, if things continue like this. Of course, I have no intention of joining the night training. I hate to sweat!
“It seemed that Quylan had anguish in his heart, so he beat me to his heart’s content.”
Lucas muttered with a faint sneer on his lips.
“I might not wake up today.”
“What have you done to the boy, man… … .”
So the barracks. When we arrived at the penal unit’s quarters, it was true.
“Ugh… … Kkeek… … .”
The large martial artist was sprawled out on his bed, groaning in pain. oh my god.
“What would you do to a weakling kid!”
“If the body is tired, the anguish of the mind will fly away. Quylan will be grateful to me for making my body suffer so that I have no time to worry.”
Lucas sighed shamelessly. You must be good at talking macho like this, you!
“Ah, Your Highness the Prince.”
At that time, a thin man with a limp came out of the inn.
It had the same red hair color as Quylan and the same braided hair style. Was it Kuylan’s older brother?
“Uh, so the name… … .”
“I say Kureha, Your Highness.”
Kureha greeted with a smile and glanced at Quylan.
“My younger brother trained all night last night at the gymnasium… … After doing this, I am still suffering from moaning. I’m sorry, but it looks like that all day… … .”
“Um, I can’t help it. Then can you pass this to me instead?”

I handed Kureha the gauntlet I pulled out this morning.
“It’s a new gauntlet, tell me you’ll wear Lucky Strike on your right hand and wear this on your left hand.”
“I understand, Your Highness… … Then what about the rest?”
Of course, the gauntlets are a pair of left and right. Quylan is wearing the left and right equipment differently, so one is left.
“Tell me to keep a spare like Lucky Strike. If necessary, you will have to replace it.”
“All right.”
Kureha, who carefully placed the equipment on the table, asked me with a smile.
“How, you walked a long way, would you like to have a meal and go?”
With that said, look inside the inn, a mountain of food is being cooked… … .
A smell similar to that of when I visited my grandmother’s house for the holidays crossed my nose.
No, what are you making so much of since lunch? I think my hands are bigger.
“You have to eat well so you can take care of the city administration, right? Ugh, you’re so dry.”
“I-I’m skinny?”
“yes. It’s only bones and skin like this… … .”
I was a little moved (?) by Kureha’s words!
A few days ago, even at the hot spring, my body was full of oil! Even when I was broadcasting, if I ate a meal with the cam on, the viewers just craved to go on a diet! How dare you say I’m skinny!
Then, Kureha suddenly waved her hand in surprise.
“Sorry, sorry. Everyone younger than me is like my younger brother… … I was trying to take care of it without even knowing.”
He was treated as a son (?) by Damian, but he is treated as a younger brother by this friend.
It wasn’t too bad for me, who had no siblings on Earth.
I waved my hand and said it was okay, then looked back at Lucas and nodded.
“Then, shall we go get a treat for lunch?”
Lucas nodded vigorously… … Weren’t you just hungry?
***
Quylan stretched out to rest, but it wasn’t too noisy, so he moved to the shared kitchen right next to the accommodation.
“omg?!”
“Your Highness the Prince?!”
The other soldiers who came and went were startled when they saw me, but waved at me calmly. You guys also eat and work.
“eat a lot. It is a traditional dish of our tribe.”
Kureha has been constantly bringing food. It was a fairly exotic, nomadic-style dish. Mongolian style on Earth?
It’s a sheep that makes me want to have a party if anyone sees it, but surprisingly, it is said that it feeds its younger brother like this on a daily basis.
“Isn’t my brother a little short and skinny? I fed them carefully.”
“Small and skinny… … ? Quylan… … ?”
I wanted to say something nonsense, but I let it go. All the people on the front lines here have a screw loose somewhere. haha.
Lucas ate well. He said he practiced yesterday, so he must have been quite hungry.
As we talked about this and that while eating, what happened during yesterday’s free exploration also came out.
“Okay, that kind of thing… … .”
After hearing what happened with the wolf king Lunared, Kureha nodded with a stiff face.
The story that the werewolf monster might be the ancestor of the brothers Kuylan and Kureha.
I was going to hide it, but since Kureha’s friend was no different from the person involved, I just let it go.
“Quylando… … I found out.”
For some reason, Kureha already knew.
“I guess you knew?”
“… … yes.”
Kureha smiled bitterly and looked down at her right arm.
“That blood is a curse passed down through our clan.”
“curse… … ?”
“I was hiding it from my younger brother. I don’t know when or how to inform you. But this is how I found out.”
Kureha, who had stopped serving and sat down at the table, opened her mouth.
“majesty. After the disintegration of the countries of the different races, do you know how the different races have been living?”
I trembled and set the tableware down.
100 years ago, the different races and humans fought a war, and humans won.
And this race became the slaves of humans. That’s all I know.
4 different races. Dwarf. Elf. Mermaid. and the Werebeast.
Kureha explained how each of them had become.
“The dwarfs chose the path of merging into human society. Because their skills were extremely useful. Thanks to active exchanges and sharing of technology, the dwarves are still treated well even after the country was destroyed.”
Why did the blacksmiths start talking as soon as Kelly Bey entered the forge? Was there any reason for this?
“The fairies still maintain the country, but they are dying while confined to the autonomous district.”
The faces of the Shadow Unit, which were conscripted from the Elven Autonomous District and used as consumable soldiers, came to mind.
It seems that they are also having a hard time waking up.
“The mermaids… … ran away over the eastern sea. Find a new home where they can live.”
Mermaids who can live in the sea, not on land, gave up and left this continent.
All that is left is the descendants of mixed blood between them and humans.
Serenade’s blue hair mixed with mermaid’s blood flashed through my mind. I miss you a little bit.
“Lastly, our prisoners originally lived in tribal units. Although they are tied together as one species, the beastmen, each tribe has a different god and different blood.”
It was like that in the game too. There were lions, bears, tigers, and they were very diverse.
At that time, I thought that some of the game development staff would have a suspicious taste for furry, but it wasn’t that, this world was originally like this.
“After losing the war, some tribes were completely subdued or destroyed. But our Dandylang (丹楓狼) tribe did not suffer much damage in the war and were able to preserve their power.”
Kureha spoke calmly.
“My tribe’s home was on the edge of the frontier, so no other human country dared to invade us. That’s how our tribe was able to live peacefully in its own way.”
“But how come… … Did you become a bandit and wander?”
It may be a painful question, but I felt I had to ask, so I asked. Then, the bitter smile on Kureha’s lips grew thicker.
“Over the past 100 years, the Everblack Empire has constantly expanded its territory. And finally the frontier reached our tribal lands.”
I swallowed dry saliva.
The f*cking empire! The father of the emperor of this bastard! You are like the root of all evil!
“So, did our country destroy your tribe?”
“… … My brother, and the survivors of my tribe, know that. So everyone hated the Empire. Living as a bandit, I have been fighting the Imperial Army tenaciously.”
Kureha looked straight up and looked at me.
“But no.”
“then?”
“I destroyed them.”
… … ?
huh?
I blinked my eyes in bewilderment at the sudden confession. what?
Kureha looked down at her right hand and sighed once more slowly.
“It was I who destroyed our tribe.”
“… … .”
“I will tell you everything honestly. That way, no matter what our blood is, I think you’ll trust my brother.”
Kureha, who was searching for memories to tell me, smiled at me.
“majesty. If you have to kill someone to save someone… … .”
I suddenly got goosebumps.
“His Highness… … How many people can you kill?”
His face, suddenly.
It was because it overlapped with that of a werewolf.
