Chapter 225.1. Orienteering Preparation
In the living room of My Room, Mii-chan sat on the sofa, getting ready for tomorrow’s orienteering event.
She spread her backpack on the table and carefully packed her belongings.
Orienteering would last 2 nights and 3 days, so she had to choose her items wisely, and her cute face looked serious.
“I wonder if I should leave the sweets I made in Cooking IV behind.”
Holding her homemade wheat cookies in her hand, Mii-chan seemed hesitant to put them in her backpack or not.
These wheat cookies reduce damage from slashing attacks by 5%, making them valuable items.
And they taste incredibly delicious.
“You should be careful with the food that made people get addicted to, young lady.
Frigg-oneesan, who was lying on the opposite sofa engrossed in a magazine, offered her advice.
“There’s no addiction! They’re just regular cookies! It says in the flavor text that you’ll feel like you’re floating on clouds in heaven when you eat them, but that’s just a figure of speech!”
“Don’t you think it’s suspicious to eat something that you get completely engrossed in, ignoring your surroundings? Besides, don’t the effects match the name?”
“Mmm… You might have a point. Maybe I should leave them behind. To us, they taste like normal crispy and sweet cookies…”
Mii-chan protested, but couldn’t help but look away, acknowledging that Frigg-oneesan’s words made sense.
It seemed that only game characters could fully appreciate the breathtaking taste of Cooking IV’s food.
“It might turn the orienteering event into a horror show~.”
“Ah, I see. I understand why Mii-tan brought those wheat cookies now.”
“That’s where you should laugh.”
“Fu fu fu fu, you’ve got 4 wheat cookies.”
Freya brought some tea, and placed it on the table, playfully pouting her lips. It’s meant to be a hilarious joke.
.
Freya’s response was quick and sharp. She’s pretty good at this banter. Nuhuhu, way to go, Freya.
“You 2 get along well, don’t you? Though neither of you is funny.”
“I get along well with Freya. And she’s funny too. She always cracks me up.”
Seeing a flowing stand-up comedy routine, Frigg-oneesan had an exasperated expression, so Mi-chan shrugged playfully. It’s entertaining.
Mii-chan gave up on throwing the wheat cookies onto the table and into her backpack.
“Well then, I guess I’ll go with Cooking I.”
That should be alright. Maybe I’ll bring some candy instead. Of course, the delicious ones.
I tapped her item box, displaying a list of items, wondering which one to choose.
As she pondered the importance of each item, Grandpa Odin who operating the terminal glared at me disapprovingly.
“That foolish chatter has been going on long enough. Are you going to get to the main topic soon?”
“Yes, sir. We’ll get to the main topic now.”
No more jokes. I rearranged myself, crossing my legs, trying to show a boss-like demeanor.
But unfortunately, she was still the little Mii-chan and looked adorable.
Mii-chan had changed her demeanor a bit, so the usual God members in My Room directed their gazes at her.
Now, everyone’s attention was on me. I nodded and started the meeting.
“Alright, let’s start by reviewing the footage of the previous match.”
Mii-chan had recorded the match, and operated her mobile bangle, projecting the hologram onto the table.
It displayed the scenes of Shin and Masatoshi match, and everyone watched with interest. I had ordered Nimue to film it.
In quite the battle, both of them are strong. Especially Shin’s sword skills are remarkable, almost like a mastery level III in a game.
While enjoying eating fuwagashi, I come across an interesting scene.
[Resist Flame Field]
Particles of platinum emanate from Shin’s equipped magical armor, stopping the crystal bits of victory, and turning them from mere floating objects in the sky.
“Look at this. Shin used a field to nullify fire. It’s hard to believe, isn’t it?”
“Hmm… Quite an interesting idea. The magical armor has an intriguing effect. Is it a prototype?”
While stroking his white beard, Grandpa Odin seemed interested.
But Mii-chan is not amused.
“Isn’t this quite a dangerous item? It’s similar to the [Spirit Power Control] used by Grand Mages in the game.”
I bang the table and glare at Grandpa Odin with a worried expression. I don’t want such cheat items to be used casually.
[Spirit Power Control] is a showy technique used by Grand Mages to seal one attribute magic in that field.
Why is it showy, you ask?
“It may look like it has the same effect, but it only lasts for 2 turns, right?”
That’s because it only lasts for a short duration. Even if a Gradn Mage uses this magic, it’s pointless since enemies will surely use multiple attributes.
“But in this world, many people can only use single attribute magic, so it could significantly change the world.”
Mii-chan trembles with fear. Although we could overwrite the nullification effect, it possesses quite a powerful ability.
Each of the 36 noble families possesses attribute magic they excel at. What if those get nullified?
There’s a possibility that the high-ranking nobles’ would lose their advantages easily.
The impact would be immeasurable.
“Young lady, instead of fearing battles with enemies, you always consider unique ideas first.”
“Battle with enemies doesn’t have much impact, right? We should consider the repercussions if they develop such magic armor. Wartan might not sell anymore.”
Frigg-oneesan gives a disapproving look, but Mii-chan hits the table once again. Her actions may look cute, but her words are quite dangerous.
