“It's okay, kid. I, uh! I used to kill Orcs with my bare hands! You see this?”
Jeff bragged as he raised his arms.
“Hah... I'm glad you're not hurt. Thank you so much."
“No, thank you. Let's take a look at that wound. ”
“Ugh. ”
Jeff lifts up my crude armor, and there's a deep cut on his left leg, and there's red blood bleeding.
When Jeff looked at the wound and was more surprised than I was, he tore his clothes long and wrapped them around the wound on my leg.
“Kaiyan! This needs to be treated by a priest. Let's get you to the ward. ”
“Yes? I can go to the hospital by myself. You're still in a tight spot. You don't have to do that for me. ”
In the Great Plains, humans and monsters are just now fighting intensely as the heat rises. And you're backing out because of me.
Besides, Jeff was involved in the war for money.
There were some who participated in the war for special reasons like me, but there were also quite a lot of people who participated for money like you. But I can't make Uncle Jeff suffer any more losses here.
“Are... you sure you're okay? ”
“Yes! I'm fine. And today... I caught 10 Goblins. ”
“Hah... this guy! You have to be careful while you're completely off the battlefield! ”
Jeff tangled my hair with his unique clumsy hands. A touch that is messed up but doesn't make me feel bad.
I smiled at the man who hesitated to leave with a worried face.
“Don't worry about me, just go. ”
“Yes... Ah! Take this.This will be more useful than the wooden spears you supply. ”
Jeff turns the Goblin corpse upside down as if he remembered something. He reaches out his sword.
“That's …. ”
What you gave me was an iron sword belonging to a Goblin.
Of course, it is unparalleled compared to the previous wooden window. However.
“All the loot from the battlefield belongs to the Allied forces. If you get caught..."
The byproducts of catching monsters and all that was left by the dead soldiers and knights belong to the Alliance.
War loot is more money than I thought, so I managed it thoroughly in the Alliance, and I was punishing the soldiers for sneaking in and getting caught.
“... It's okay. This is the sword of the Barbarian. ”
A barbarian? ”
A barbarian belonged to the same troop until yesterday, but he died of a stone thrown by an Ogre during his retreat. Apparently, Jeff's face is gloomy.
“Okay, so you take it. Barbarians would want that. ”
“But still, the loot...”
When I hesitated and did not take the sword, Jeff forcefully handed it to me.
“It's okay. Barbarians and I were in the war together. Unlike ordinary soldiers, his belongings belong to me, not to the Allied forces. Who's to say I'll give you mine? ”
“Oh, well, thank you. Thank you, Jeff. ”
I received the weapon with gratitude because it was a very, very coveted weapon with an iron sword.
Upon receiving the sword, I looked closely at the end of the handle and saw the initials of the Barbarian on the pommel. I heard that most common people's swords look similar, so they usually write their initials down like this.
‘Iron Sword... Thank you, barbarian. ’
After closing my eyes for a moment, I thanked the barbarian.
I felt clear just now, but the wooden spear I received as a supply is hard to deal with. That's why I needed a good weapon to reinforce my lack of strength, and this steel sword should do its part well.
“I'll see you later, Kaiyan. ”
Jeff left the horse with a bitter expression and went hunting monsters. They're probably going to hunt the Orcs deeper into the battlefield. Unlike me, you're good enough.
“… Oh, right! Storage.”
As I tried to leave the battlefield with my sick body, the square box on one side of my vision caught my attention again.
A magical situation floating in the air alone in a square box.
“What the... what is this? What was that weird feeling back there? ”
Touch the box with your hands on the curiosity in your head.
[Help Book for Beginners, Minor Recovery Potion (5), Quest Reward Box (F)]
“What……? ”
Inside my head, I naturally found information about the items stored in a rectangular box.
“No, am I really crazy...? Haha.”
Maybe he came back from the dead yesterday.
Now, it's weird to doubt yourself late, but it's ridiculous.
“What else could it be, a recovery potion? ”
Restoration potions are so well known to me, as a layman.
Recovery potions are divided between wizards and priests, but the common thing is that they are incredibly expensive. Commoners have potions that are hard to see in their lives.
And that's the kind of potion you keep in this box?
“Visions need to look more plausible to fool you. I'm a fool to trust for a moment... and my recovery potion is no joke. ”
You try to ignore the box in your sights and walk into the camp.
Walk for a while to get to the ward within the camp.
“Ugh... Priest...”
“Please, somebody fix my arm! ”
Screaming in agony that comes from everywhere.
As expected, there were still many wounded in the ward.
“Hmm... I didn't see that priest yesterday. ”
I thought about it, but unfortunately, I didn't see the priest who cured me yesterday.
I'm saying we should wait for the treatment of another priest.
“Too many people...”
I thought about just going back, but it's hard to keep my legs sore if I don't leave them alone.
“Hah. What should I do... Should I stay here for a few days?" ”
I sighed and leaked out on my own.
I waited two hours, or at least three hours, but there were too many injuries that came before me, so I still haven't been treated.
‘On second thought, I was very lucky yesterday. ’
I looked around without knowing it.
Even though there are bloody rags lying all over the floor, no one cares. Occasionally, the widespread bloodstains remind me that a soldier must have died of excessive bleeding. This place is such a mess.
At this rate, at least 3 days. More than that, you'll have to wait for treatment.
“If there really is a potion here... No, this is a hallucination. ”
The square box was still floating in the air on one side of the field of view.
I thought for a moment, "What if that's not a fantasy?" But it's a useless idea.
If that were true, people would think and talk strangely about squares floating in the air, but if no one speaks, the hallucinations are clear.
“…… If you're really real, take out your recovery potion. ”
It was either because it was free or because I wanted the square box to be real.
I spit without thinking, looking at the square box with my senseless eyes.
[Do you want to remove the Lesser Recovery Potion?]
The sound that comes back to my ears.
“Yes, get it out... Huh? ”
Tuck.
Suddenly, I felt something in my left hand, and as I raised my hand, there was a small jar of glass with a red liquid in it.
The instant I saw it, I realized it was a restoration potion.
Gulp.
It looks very similar to the Recovery Potion I've never actually seen but heard of.
Someone opened their eyes and looked around because they thought it was a joke, but all they could see was injured people lying on their beds like me.
“Ze, are you serious? This is really Po... ”
I was so surprised that I almost said it out loud because of the potion, but fortunately, I woke up and quickly covered my mouth with my hands.
Then he swallowed the saliva and hurriedly hid the potion under the duvet.
‘If this is really a potion, it shouldn't be known to others. ’
This is a ward overflowing with patients.
What happens if I find out that I have a potion? They'll probably swarm in like dogs.
And above all, there is a very high probability of being suspected.
Potions are too expensive for civilians to carry.
‘Is it real? What if it's some weird liquid? ’
For a moment, I held my mouth tightly, carefully opened the bottle, and poured a potion into the wound on my injured leg, and when the red liquid that fell on my leg touched the wound, it began to heal with a small sound of healing.
Fortunately, I didn't feel pain like when I was being treated by the priest.
"It's true... This isn't a hallucination! ’
My heart was beating like it was about to burst.
That square isn't a fantasy.
I don't even know why this happened to me, but it's clear that the potion is real.
Let's touch the square box again with a palpitating heart.
[Help Book for Beginners, Minor Recovery Potion (4), Quest Reward Box F]
The lowest recovery potion was changed from (5) to (4).
The analogy is that the number behind it is likely to be the remaining number of potions.
If that's true, there are still four potions left.
‘… crazy. So you can get the other stuff out, too? ’
I can't believe you have 4 potions that are hard to see in your life as an ordinary person.
How cool is this?
Thanks to the potion, I don't know what other items in the box are for, but I'm quite excited. It would be unusual to be with potions.
‘Let's get back to the base. There are too many eyes here. ’
The potion was small, so I arrived at the idea that it was imperfect, but I didn't know what the other items would look like.
I'd rather check it out on my own than get me out of here like a fool.
The potion heals your leg, allowing you to quickly return to the base without limping once.
Walking through the tent and into the barracks, Jeff was still out there fighting monsters.
“Phew... Let's check it out then. ”
Turning to the right, a square box still floating in the air.
“Hey, square. I hope it's good again.... Get me a help book for beginners. ”
I'm familiar with a square that I call a square.
Tuck.
This time, the square did not let go of my expectations, but took the item out of my left hand. Unlike potions, what you get in your left hand weighs a lot.
“… I knew it! And this is the book? ”
The problem is that the item that was taken out looked like a small slate rather than a book, but it was hard to see it as a book.
“Hmm... This is so different from any book I know. ”
I learned to write thanks to my father, who was a commoner but a town clerk, and sometimes my mother bought a book and read it a few times. But I had never heard or seen a slate book.
“… square, how do I use this? ”
In case you were wondering, the square floating in the air had no answer. Maybe it's natural.
“Yeah, I'm fine. You just need to keep your potions safe. ”
Potions are the most important thing to me anyway.
It's something else. For me right now, it's just an accessory with a potion.
Tiring! [Tip for Beginners]
“…… Hmm? ”
When I was thinking about how to use the potion, a bright light appeared on the slate and a letter appeared.
The letters on the slate are common words I'm familiar with.
[Hello! I'm Rieka, your new helper!]
When I opened my eyes to the strange phenomenon, the previous writing on the slate was erased and a new one was written.
“ ……. ”
I couldn't figure out how to deal with the embarrassment. Even when the square box appeared, it was surprising, but not more. I can't believe the writing was written by itself.
‘.... Is this the magical artifact you've been hearing so much about? ’
[Aren't you going to answer?]
“Huh? Uh... Nice to meet you. ”
It seemed like the slate was talking to me, so I didn't know.
[Yes, nice to meet you! His name is... Kaiyan, right? This is your first time.]
“… how did you know my name? Lee…."
The slate was right to speak to me. And I'm surprised he even knows my name.
[Rica!]
“... Yes, Rieka. ”
One eyebrow went up, representing my embarrassed heart.
The tone felt on the slate was very lively, not suitable for the battlefield.
I've never been so noisy by writing. I felt a strange turtle, so I took a step back and stayed away from the slate.
[It's simple. I checked Kaiyan's status window!]
“Status window?”
Tiring! [status window activated]
Status Window
Name: Kaiyan/Age: 15 years/Job: Player/Title: Not Owned
Level: 1/Power: 6/Agility: 7/Health: 7/Intelligence: 9/Distribution: 0
A new window appeared in front of my eyes, terrified of the end of the horse.
The status window contained not only my name and age, but also a lot of difficult to understand content.
“What is this……. ”
[Hmmm! Will you listen to me first?]
“Oh, sorry. ”
[As you've just seen, the status window is a window that indicates your status.]
I quickly calmed down as if I was having an earthquake.
I had to quickly look at the status window again with calm eyes before I could figure out what that meant.
“…… So the power written here is now representing my power in numbers? ”
[Yes! I'm glad you understand so quickly. In addition to the status window, there are more features in the player system, such as lockbox, mailbox, shop, and more.]
“If it's a locker, you mean that square box? I've used that. But is it... Rieka? How do I get the status window or the locker out of sight? It's so annoying.”
The locker was completely comfortable with the view, but the status window covered half the field of view.
At this rate, monsters can't even walk the right path.
The good news is that it's translucent and looks a little bit translucent, but it's also uncomfortable.
[Simply close behind the locker or status window to speak! Of course, you don't have to say it out loud!]
‘Close the status window. Close the archive.’
As Riika pointed out, the window and locker that were blocking your view disappeared.
“Th-that's it! Rica, the status window and the locker are gone! ”
I wanted to applaud this amazing phenomenon. But...
[... It's not great, so please calm down. This will take days to explain.]
A slightly annoying new letter appeared on the slate to see if it wasn't too great for Rieka.
“Sorry.... Keep explaining. ”
Since then, Rieka has explained many things I need to know.
What's a little curious is that Rikawa was clearly talking in stone tablets, but somehow she got inside her head like talking next to her.
“So... Levels are important? Stats when level up? You can put that up. ”
[Yes! How did I say I could level up?]
“Did you break the quest...? ”
[Yes, and?]
I paused and closed my eyes.
In my head I remembered the screams of the people, the monsters, and the burning village.
Family. Blood. Fear...
“I told you to kill life and bring it up. Or people.”
I repressed the burning emotion in my heart. But...
“Monsters. ”
I couldn't hide my eyes as much as I wanted to kill them.
[Kaiyan...?]
Perhaps the player was sent down by a vengeance god who took pity on man.
“It's okay, kid. I, uh! I used to kill Orcs with my bare hands! You see this?”
Jeff bragged as he raised his arms.
“Hah... I'm glad you're not hurt. Thank you so much."
“No, thank you. Let's take a look at that wound. ”
“Ugh. ”
Jeff lifts up my crude armor, and there's a deep cut on his left leg, and there's red blood bleeding.
