Chapter D010 – Settlement

[Brynhildr Fort: Guild Building]

The lounge on the second ground of the Guild Constructing was one of many many locations for guild members to loosen up. The ornament of the place was fairly good with a relentless room temperature. From the window, a view of the town from a great angle might be seen.

There are many couch chairs and sq. tables sufficient for 40 individuals to sit down on the similar time. There are additionally 3 giant screens put in in a triangular formation in the course of the room which show TV channels that may be modified at will.

Shortly after Astrid arrived, she sat on the couch reverse the place Rena and Hecate had been sitting.

“Ya, A-cchi-senpai.” (Rena-cchi) | “Good afternoon, Astrid-san.” (Emilia)RêAdvert lateSt chapters at novelhall.com Solely

“Good day Hecate-chan, Rena-san, Emilia-san. However, please wait a second.” (Astrid)

As a result of there have been lots of people coming out and in, the lounge was not a really perfect place for personal conversations. Nonetheless, this drawback was solved simply when Astrid took out a plate and activated it.

The opposite three didn’t say something about this, as this merchandise wasn’t one thing new.

Merchandise Title: Sound Isolation Inscription Plate Rarity: Catalyst: 1 Ruby Results: When activated, this merchandise can isolate sound in an space inside 1 meter of this merchandise. Description: A low rank Inscription Plate that has been engraved with the magical inscription Sound Isolation Barrier (Lv3)

Requires 1 Ruby to activate this merchandise, the activation time relies on the standard of the Ruby used.

The second the plate was activated, all surrounding sounds grew to become remoted. Now, there was no want to fret that their dialog shall be heard by different individuals.

After ensuring the plate was working correctly, Astrid began the dialog.

“This needs to be sufficient… So, Hecate, how was your journey?” (Astrid)

“General, it was superb, I had enjoyable on the journey.” (Hecate)

Hecate whose head was busy being petted by Rena answered calmly.

It was onerous to see from Hecate’s expression, however from her perspective, it appeared like she did not thoughts being petted. Quite the opposite, she appeared to actually get pleasure from it. Astrid thought, possibly she ought to pet Hecate’s head extra usually.

Unaware of what Astrid was considering, Hecate continued her phrases.

“I’ve written a report about my quest and posted it on the administration discussion board, have you ever learn it?” (Hecate)

“The one you bought buff from an Historic Mastersmith for two hours?” (Astrid)

In fact Astrid had learn the report Hecate posted.

It was stated within the report that after Hecate personally delivered a letter from her Blacksmith mentor to the principal of Soltreus Magic Academy, she triggered a sequence quest (lie) and obtained the identification of the particular employees there.

Then, she spent a while to improve her badge standing from Silver to Diamond. Hecate did not go into an excessive amount of element about this, however contemplating it solely took her a day, almost certainly the method wasn’t that troublesome.

After that, with the privilege of her Diamond Badge, Hecate obtained a relic which was an previous hammer that triggered one other quest. It was this quest that despatched her to the occasion dungeon, the place she accessed the Historic Mastersmith’s recollections and needed to defeat a number of demonic boss monsters that had been his enemies when he was alive. (lie)

And one of many rewards that comes after finishing the dungeon was this buff. A buff from the soul of an Historic Mastersmith that drastically will increase Hecate’s total Blacksmithing talent by 2 ranges! (lie)

Not solely was the steel smelting and forging time shortened, however the success probability of upgrading tools was additionally drastically elevated. Sadly, the buff wasn’t everlasting and the length wasn’t lengthy, so she will be able to’t do a lot to make the most of this buff besides only for upgrading her tools. (lie).

“Ah, that one? Shuna-cchi and the Blacksmith division have been discussing it since this morning.” (Rena-cchi)

“Maybe they need to search related relics to get the identical occasion dungeon.” (Emilia)

What Emilia stated made sense.

It was pure that their motivation was ignited, after seeing Hecate efficiently improve a number of items of kit to +10 in a row. Observe that most individuals solely dare to improve their tools to +4. Greater than that, the success charge would lower for every improve degree, and at +9 to +10, the success charge can be infinitely small, not more than 1%.

Though Hecate’s mission was a novel mission unique to her, discovering and amassing relics was not an issue. In truth, there have been many relics that had been collected by the guild left unsorted.

They solely must type the relics associated to Blacksmithing from the gathering of relics that the guild has collected.

The so-called relics right here referred to objects or belongings of Natives (or monsters) that absorbed a substantial amount of their proprietor’s obsession. This obsession was so nice that it kinds an occasion dungeon the place individuals can expertise occasions centered on the proprietor’s obsession.

…Or so it says within the recreation lore.

Briefly, they’re objects that may create occasion dungeons, which individuals can conquer with out having to fret about being disturbed by others outdoors the occasion. There was a restrict to the variety of occasions a relic might be used, and as soon as that restrict was up, the relic would flip into a standard merchandise.

Sadly, the relic that Hecate used has run out of use and has grow to be trash, in any other case Shuna and her Blacksmith division might borrow the relic themselves from her.

For some motive, after listening to Rena and Emilia’s phrases, Hecate’s expression grew to become unusual.

So, did you name me to ask about this? However as I stated within the report, I solely bought the hammer and nothing else. (Hecate)

“In fact not, truly I known as you right here to speak about one other matter.” (Astrid)

Astrid shortly sorted out her earlier dialog with Rena and Emilia.

About recruiting Rena and Emilia to Tenz Company, shifting their residence to Tokyo, reserving seats at Tokyo College… And likewise, the speak about Hecate’s illness in the actual world, and their intention to ask her to maneuver to Tokyo collectively.

Listening to Astrid’s clarification, Hecate’s expression grew to become much more unusual.

“Did you examine my scenario in the actual life?” (Hecate)

“Wait, this isn’t what you suppose! Hecate-cchi, we by no means had any malicious intentions in the direction of you!” (Rena-cchi)

This loli actually appeared to be concerned with the underworld!

Trying round, Rena and Emilia appeared to have come to the identical conclusion as properly. The shock on their expression was real, indicating that that they had actually simply found the truth that their good friend was related to the darkish aspect.

Rena even stopped her hand from stroking Hecate once more, however this time Hecate did not hassle reminding her anymore.

“And likewise, can I ask for an additional favor?” (Hecate)

“Oh, what’s it? In fact, I’ll assist you whether it is inside my capabilities.” (Astrid)

Astrid shortly recovered her composure.

Relating to the underworld, she had a tacit understanding to not speak about this anymore. It was considerably an open secret that many giant households or firms had ties to that aspect, together with Tenz and Genesis Guild.

Talking of which, Astrid remembered that Hecate’s household title in the actual world appeared to be Yasaka…

“Truly, I’ve some… dangerous habits that make me inconvenient residing with different individuals. So I deliberate to purchase a non-public residence in my title. Are you able to assist me with that?” (Hecate)

“No drawback, coincidentally we even have an actual property subsidiary and I assure the standard of every property we handle. In fact, with our relationship, I can provide you a great value. So, what sort of home do you need to purchase?” (Astrid)

Initially, Astrid deliberate to present them a spot to dwell in one of many flats she managed.

This house has satisfactory services, together with an elevator and public tub, and its location is kind of strategic, near the Tokyo College and the Tenz firm constructing.

But when Hecate needed to purchase a home and dwell individually, that may be effective too. There are numerous homes obtainable on the market underneath the administration of Tenz Firm’s actual property subsidiary. And since Hecate wasn’t a stranger, Astrid would after all give her a giant low cost.

Unexpectedly, what Hecate ordered was not an abnormal home.

“I desire a huge home with photo voltaic panels and a rainwater filtration system, at the very least three flooring with elevators, an indoor greenhouse room with synthetic daylight, an indoor swimming pool room, a basement for a workshop, and a storage that may match many vehicles.” (Hecate)

“Hecate-cchi, that is…” (Rena-cchi)

“Uh, that is fairly… a giant order…” (Emilia)

Not solely Astrid, even Rena and Emilia had been shocked by Hecate’s ridiculous order.

Such a configuration was a bit extreme for a home {that a} loli would dwell in alone. Furthermore, the existence of photo voltaic panels, greenhouses and rainwater filtration programs has actually proven her need for self-sufficiency.

Has she watched too many apocalypse-themed motion pictures and began making ready for such a scenario?

“Effectively, all of that may be organized. There are some homes which have the fitting structure and could be organized in keeping with your needs, however they’ll positively be costly. Are you certain?” (Astrid)

“The value is just not an issue in any respect. However for fee, do you settle for gold bars?” (Hecate)

“Huh? Gold bars?” (Astrid)

“Yeah, my checking account is intently monitored by my household, so it is fairly troublesome to switch giant quantities of cash.” (Hecate)

Hecate’s phrases aroused Astrid’s curiosity.

The present society has absolutely applied a cashless financial system and money has grow to be a collectible merchandise. Subsequently, the financial institution, which has lengthy been owned by the federal government will at all times be concerned in every transaction, and they’re naturally go away traces that may be monitored.

However, that does not imply there are not any methods to make transactions with out involving the financial institution. In any case, they could not prohibit individuals from bartering. And gold has at all times been a extremely valued commodity in any nation on Earth.

Nonetheless, Astrid was interested by what actually occurred to Hecate’s household to drive her to go this far.

“You may ship your gold bars first and I’ll appraise them in keeping with the present gold value. You need not fear if their worth usually are not sufficient, we are able to at all times speak about it later.” (Astrid)

“It is okay, I will ship you a complete of 10 kg first, I feel that is about 120 million yen proper now. If that is not sufficient, simply take into account it a down fee. I can ship extra later.” (Hecate)

“…120 million!?” (Rena-cchi)

Rena and Emilia obtained one other shock.

Their thoughts might solely clean after listening to such amount of cash. Though Rena’s household was wealthy, this was the primary time that they had witnessed a transaction involving that a lot cash with their very own eyes.

In the meantime, Astrid did not count on that Hecate had that a lot gold stash.

This loli is the actual whale!

“Okay then, I will ship you a hyperlink handle to the location of the actual property. You must try all of the obtainable homes within the VR-House your self and select which home you need to dwell in. Contact me once more when you’ve made your alternative.” (Astrid)

“Proper now?” (Hecate)

“Yeah, it is higher to complete this as quickly as attainable.” (Astrid)

“Then, I will go and have a look first. Goodbye everybody.” (Hecate)

Hecate nodded with satisfaction after which logged out.

Astrid, Rena and Emilia might solely watch as Hecate was gentle and disappeared. There was an odd silence between them. The deal was accomplished easily and Hecate agreed to maneuver to Tokyo as they wished.

However for some motive, the environment grew to become awkward.
