Chapter 2 – Renewing Equipment
It goes without saying, the rewards for subjugating twelve Wyverns are quite something. And since they still have a lot of money to save for party expenses, Eto decided to renew their equipment.
For the armor, Eto decided to use plenty of Wyvern leather that they got from the subjugation request, and adding other hard materials such as steel at some important parts to further improve the defense. And for the weapons, although they might be unable to find a replacement for Amou’s greatsword, Eto was thinking of making daggers made of Mithril for Kohaku and Sorano to improve the effect of his enchantment.
Lastly, regarding Sorano’s bow and arrows. The wood that Sorano said to be suitable for making bow and arrows was pretty hard to find. Fortunately, for the past six months, they have been collecting some materials little by little. But since they just got quite an amount of money from the Wyvern subjugation, it has become possible for them to purchase the other materials at once. And using all the collected materials, Eto also decided to make time for Sorano to make her bow and arrows. In addition, he will also buy a high-quality bow as a spare.
Once all the new equipment is completed, Eto’s party will finally be considered well-equipped as B-class adventurers. Although currently Eto is still the only B-class in their party, thanks to the Wyvern subjugation, Amou and Sorano have met the requirements to take the B-class promotion test. If the two passed the test, their party will be considered a strong party consisting of three B-classes and one C-class. And Eto was really looking forward to that.
“Why can’t I be promoted to B-class too? Isn’t this too unfair, Eto?”
Kohaku complained with her cheeks pouting.
Of course, Kohaku also went to subjugate the Wyverns with Eto and co. But, in terms of the number of Wyvern subjugated, Amou subjugated five Wyverns, four for Sorano, two for Eto and one for Kohaku. In conclusion, Amou and Sorano’s results are just that outstanding.
However, that was, in fact, also the result of the difference in role. Eto naturally acted as a rearguard to use his support magic while establishing the formation for the party, and Kohaku was positioned to protect Eto. Sorano, who was also a rearguard, was able to hunt the Wyverns from a distance thanks to Eto’s buffs and enchantments. Meanwhile, Kohaku only gave a finishing blow to a Wyvern that Sorano shot down.
“Kohaku has done very well protecting Eto. But in the first place, you have to be an adult to rank up to B-class. It’s still early for Kohaku.”
Sorano said that to sooth Kohaku. In the past six months, the women in Eto’s party have been getting along very well with each other. They even went to the town together on holidays. Because of that, Amou often consulted with Eto on how his daughter left her father too soon, which became a secret between the men in the party.
“Hmmm… But, it’s very strange that there is an age limit for that! Or rather, I want to rank up too!”
Kohaku’s real intention was likely that she doesn’t want to be the only C-class in the party, which Eto thought was too childish. But then again, she is indeed still a child, as she just turned thirteen this year.
“I think there isn’t anyone at that age who is as strong as Kohaku, don’t you agree? And I am sure the guild also understands that Kohaku is a promising adventurer. If Kohaku continues being an adventurer just like this, you might be able to go even further than me.”
“Fuun. Is that so? But, I think I can never win against Eto, because your abilities are too heinous.”
Kohaku said while smiling like a mischievous child.
It was two months later that all the new equipment was completed. They made some adjustments and maintenance to improve all their equipment, except for Amou’s greatsword and Eto’s Mithril sword.
But what surprised them the most was the power of the bow made by Sorano. With Eto’s buffs and enchantments, Sorano’s bow could now aim from 1,500 to 2,000 meters away. In addition, it additionally allows her to accurately shoot her target up to 200 meters away. When Eto asked if all elves were that good at bows, Sorano shook her head and answered, “Eto’s support magic is just too abnormal.1”
That made Eto wonder if his support magic was that abnormal, until he remembered that he was the Sage, which made him thank the Goddess for giving him such support magic. In the past, there were indeed times when Eto resented the Goddess for selecting such a person as the Hero, but as he achieved some achievements with his party, that kind of shackle of the past seemed to gradually disappear2.
