Tyler stood at the door of Emilia's home, still somewhat stunned.
The soft touch of the young girl's lips lingered on his cheek.
The subsequent prompt that appeared in his field of vision only added to Tyler's surprise.
—"Confirmation of confession received from 'Foxkin Emilia', energy points +1, current energy points: 1"
(Could it work like this?)
Emilia hadn't spoken a word of confession, but her actions had been accepted as a declaration of her feelings.
Tyler had never imagined that he would receive Emilia's confession in this way.
(Silly Nissen: Oh my!)
(Silly Nissen: It's reeeeeeally extreme this time!)
(Silly Nissen: The countdown is only one day left!!)
The stupid loli in Tyler's mind screamed with excitement; these days, she had been on the verge of madness as the countdown decreased day by day.
On the contrary, Tyler remained calm throughout; if there was anything unexpected, it was Emilia's final kiss.
ραndαsnοvεl.cοm Tyler had initially thought she would express her confession more subtly in words.
(It seems I still don't know enough about young foxkin girls.)
·
This time, after obtaining the confession point, Tyler didn't rush to use it.
He had a plan in mind for how to use the point.
After leaving Emilia's home, Tyler went to visit Branch Chief Oleg.
Oleg had awakened from his coma, and Tyler reported the results of the previous night's battle to him—of course, to conceal his special identity and abilities, Tyler had appropriately "processed" the truth.
"Really... Splurt is dead..."
Oleg sighed deeply; he was relieved that the ordeal had ended, but he couldn't help feeling some regret for Splurt's death, no matter how despicable he was.
"If only he hadn't taken the wrong path, he would have been a decent person..." Oleg murmured.
Then, Tyler took out the Secret Saber: Blaze Steed and held it before Oleg's eyes.
Oleg stared blankly at the magic sword, his hand trembling as he reached for it, but hesitated before touching it.
"So many people died for this sword..."
"If it weren't for this sword..."
Oleg clenched his fists in resentment, he hesitated several times, but ultimately didn't touch the sword, instead withdrawing his hand.
"Lord Banning... last night, did you use this enchanted sword?"
"I did."
"What do you think we should do with it? I've tried to destroy it before, but I couldn't bring myself to do it."
Tyler understood Oleg's unspoken meaning, and the Branch Chief's thoughts were already quite clear.
Oleg wanted to take this opportunity to completely destroy the magic sword and truly put an end to this tragic affair.
However, should the Secret Saber: Blaze Steed really be destroyed? Tyler didn't think so.
The issue has never been the weapon; it is the human heart.
The terrifying thing isn't the backlash mechanism of Secret Saber: Blaze Steed, but human greed.
—『Combat Occupation skill 'Deceiver - Lv10' as been activated and remains in effect...』
"I understand your concerns. I'll take responsibility for destroying this sword."
Tyler took back the sword, and Oleg nodded with complete trust, expressing his gratitude.
"Lord Banning, I owe you so many thanks."
"It's just a small effort, Branch Chief; no need to worry."
Tyler deactivated the "Deceiver" skill. He was the one who should be grateful to the Branch Chief for allowing him access to such powerful equipment.
As the two conversed, Oleg extended an olive branch to Tyler.
"Tyler, I have a somewhat presumptuous request... as you can see, my current condition is what it is, and the Branch Chief position needs someone to take over. I wonder if you'd be willing?"
Oleg spoke sincerely, with heartfelt intent.
"Branch Chief, you overestimate me. I'm not yet capable of handling such a significant responsibility. However, I do have a candidate in mind, someone more suitable than myself,"
Tyler replied, activating the "Deceiver" skill again.
"Oh? Who could be more suitable than you?"
Oleg's eyes widened, and Tyler merely smiled before presenting a name.
"Emilia."
.
Upon leaving Branch Chief Oleg's residence, the stupid loli continued to marvel at Tyler's response, truly impressed by his wisdom.
(Silly Nissen: Brilliant-o... truly brilliant-o... As long as Emilia becomes the Branch Chief, you can continue to act-o alone and single! (* ́∀`)~)
(Tyler: It's just basic tactics, not worthy of being called brilliant.)
Tyler had already thought of this development when he learned that Nasal was a traitor.
Emilia was a good girl, and Tyler didn't want her to waste time and emotions on himself.
Ideally, Tyler should formally say goodbye to everyone and leave Sunny Town as soon as possible, using the same excuse as before in Ira Village - he had a secret "mission" to fulfill.
However, Tyler couldn't leave yet, as there was still one thing he needed to do in Sunny Town:
He had to pass the Occupation Advancementt Trial.
.
If possible, Tyler hoped to max out all his skills (if there is a max level), master both manufacturing and production occupations, craft a set of divine equipment, and feed items like the Secret Saber: Blaze Steed to their full potential.
When there was truly nothing left to improve, he would challenge the Occupation Advancementt Trial.
In this way, even if he failed and died in the trial, he would have no regrets.
However, Tyler didn't have the luxury of time.
The ever-present threat of unknown powerful enemies hung over Tyler's head like the Sword of Damocles.
He had to increase his strength as quickly as possible within the limited time available.
Therefore, he had no choice but to take on the risks of the trial.
.
While there was still time, Tyler hired some people to transport the carcasses of the rat demons from the Northern Wasteland back to Sunny Town.
After selling all the demon materials, the total income was 2 gold coins + 73 silver coins.
Tyler kept one gold coin for himself and handed the rest to the Quest Guild, as the main reward for the hunters who helped kill the monsters the night before.
As for the magic cores, Tyler picked them out and fed them all to the Secret Saber: Blaze Steed, advancing it to the second tier.

After the Blaze Steed advanced, all its provided attributes increased by 5 points, and its original skill "Blaze Steed" was upgraded to "Blue Blaze Steed," increasing its magic power consumption to 444 points, a significant drain on magic power.
Additionally, the minimum requirement for feeding magic cores was raised to tier two, meaning it no longer accepted magic cores from demons below level 20.
The advancement of the Secret Saber: Blaze Steed was a good thing, but the terrifying 444-point magic consumption made Tyler realize that it shouldn't advance too quickly; otherwise, his own abilities would soon lag behind, rendering it useless.
Afterward, Tyler visited a weapon shop, asking the craftsman to study the ""Poison Blade Rat King's Venomous Claw" and the "Magic Core of the Rogue Shadow Demon: Swarerock" to see what equipment they could be used to craft.
The craftsman was so astonished that his eyes nearly popped out, exclaiming that he had rarely seen such high-quality materials in his life and that he needed to gather all the craftsmen in town to hold a meeting and discuss before giving an answer.
Tyler agreed to give him three days to research, then checked the time, realizing it was already noon, and set off to cook at Emilia's house.
.
At this point, Tyler was still unaware of just how much he had underestimated the "formidable" foxkin girl.
