44th – Spirit Drop

The small, green jeweled ring in the large box had unreadable words carved into the inside of the ring section in tiny, bejeweled letters.

“Wow, a Spirit Drop, that’s quite a precious thing, isn’t it?”

[Accessory: Finger] Spirit Drops Rarity 3
Def +10, Weight 0, Durability 100

A ring made from a precious gemstone that is said to be part of a spirit’s body
Protects the owner from misfortune. It’s said to bring good luck.

[Effect]
Mental state abnormality tolerance: ?
Good luck correction: Small

Rarity 3! It’s the same rarity as Taku’s hover boots. There’s something I can’t see in the appraisal results but isn’t this a great item?

The best thing about the ring is it’s resistance to mental anomalies.

According to Taku, there are two main types of condition abnormalities in FWO.

One is mental state abnormality.

The higher the mental tolerance value, the more difficult it is to be affected and the less effective mental condition is. These include the fear state I was afflicted with before as well as confusion, fascination, curse, etc.

The other is a physical state abnormality.

The higher the strength value, the more difficult it is to be affected and the less effective it is. The include stun, freezing, silence, etc.

There are some special abnormalities that do not fit into these categories, but Taku says that mental abnormalities are particularly troublesome.

Well, if you think about it for a moment, I’d rather be knocked out in a corner of the battlefield than have an enemy charm me and come at me.

That’s why equipment that increases resistance to mental anomalies is so valuable. Probably.

“Hmm, This ring is for Tina? I don’t have space for more accessories but you do Tina.”

“~♪”

When I picked up the Spirit Drop with my fingertips and presented it to Tina, she was so happy that she danced for joy, and the other faeries looked at her enviously, including Spirit-chan.

“~~!~??”

After dancing around for a while and showing full joy with all her small body, Tigna received the ring from me to try to equip it immediately, but it has froze as if time stopped there.

Uh, yeah, that’s right, it’s a small ring for me, but it’s too big for Tina.

“It is too big for Tina. I’m sorry. Well, then, I’ll take the ring for now…”

“!~~!!~!!”

Once I reached for it to put it away in my inventory for safekeeping, Tina shook her head no while hiding the ring behind her back, tears welling up in her eyes.

No, I’m not trying to hide it from you.

“Well, I’d give it to Tina if she could equip it, but she can’t, right?

“~~!~!”

If that’s the case! Tina, who puts here feet through the ring and pulls it up to who stomach, shows the ring off to me with a smug look on her face.

No, even if you ask me…

“It’s useless. I mean, it’s not like it’s a championship belt, and wearing a ring on your stomach isn’t going to help? I went to the trouble of appraising the results [Accessory: Finger] That’s what it says. Also, your skirt is rolled up.”

“It’s no good. It seems that the equipment effect does not come out when not equipped correctly. I mean, as it is your flight will be hindered by it’s heavy weight”

Tina, who was depressed by mine and Spirit-chan’s verbal attack, fell down dazedly and landed flattened on my palm.

“~~”

Tina groaned for a while, but after a while, she had no choice. It really can’t be helped. She slowly pulled her feet out of the ring. She gently holds out the ring to me in a slow motion.

…What’s this…It is very difficult to receive it. After seeing how happy Tina was once I have her the ring, I felt guilty.

“It’s a ring, so why don’t you just wear it on your finger?”

Spirit-chan had muttered that while staring at me picking up the ring that Tina held out with both of her hands.

By the way, the other faeries are playing with the Boparu, as if they’re bored.

“No, for what it’s worth it’s not going to fit.”
“~~~!”

Tina is waving her hands in the air, protesting too.

“I don’t understand it…I’m sure Tina’s never been equipped with anything before. That thing you’re wearing is a monster drop, and the type where every piece of equipment you are wearing is looted individually.”

“Yes, but…”

“Well, the gear you’re wearing seems to fit your body perfectly. You think the equipment you just happened to get was the right size for you?”

“…”

I was at a loss for words at the words Spirit-chan said before continuing, “What about it?

That’s right. In this game, each person has their own physique, and it’s not strange to have a size auto-adjust function to equip armor. Rather, it’s too inconvenient if it’s not there. You would have to make each piece custom-made one by one for every individual.

“~~?”

“Which means that if you put it on her finger, Tina might be able to equip this ring.”

“~~!~!!”

When I explained to Tinya, who was twisting her head as if she didn’t understand what we were talking about. Her eyes instantly sparkled at what my explanation and she stretched out her hands out to me, as if begging me to pit it on for her.

I guess you want me to put it on. I have the ring now, so which finger should I put it on?

The problem is that it has a big jewel on it, and if I put it on her thumb, it would be in the way, and if I put it on her little finger, it would be unbalanced which leaves my index finger. Now which is better, her right hand or her left hand? Well, I think it’s the left. It is more convenient to keep your right hand open.

…I decided where to put it based on practicality, not looks or anything like that, but that’s okay because it is important to be practicle.

“!!”

So I put the ring on index finger of her left hand, and as soon as it just barely over the finger, the ring shrunk and fit perfectly on Tina’s thin finger.

Well, that is convenient. Does this mean that Tina can equip a wand too? No, you can’t do that. The size of the weapon is totally different from the size of the armor. I wanted a weapon with a bit more size, but I didn’t want it to shrink on its own.

“!!~!!!”

The fact that the ring was put on by me seems to have rekindled the happiness that had once depressed Tina, and she is now in high spirits again, flying around the area and showing off to the other faeries.

I think it’s great that the ring shrunk down to the perfect size for Tina, but I wonder if I’m a narrow-minded man for thinking that it’s a waste to see such a large, beautiful jewel shrink along with it. Well, if you take it off, it’ll go back to its original size, which is good because it’s hard to put on if only the jewels are the original size.

……It’s starting to get festive, but we have to stop now because if we don’t stop it now, it might be a little difficult to get back to human habitation by the end of the day……

“Hmm, my original plan for today was to explore the depths of the forest, but I don’t feel like taking Tinya with me like a constant wannabe, and I don’t feel like going back to town right now, moving around, and leveling up. So can I stay the night tonight, or if not, can I just get a ride back to town after the festivities have died down?”

“I am fine with you doing either……”

Beyond the spirit’s gaze are the frolicking faeries and Boparu. Blowing waterside. A fountain that is automatically restored. What a convenience. It’s okay no matter how much you break it.

“It’s been a long time since I’ve had a guest, and I’d appreciate it if you’d keep them company if you can.”

“And since I don’t have the stamina to be in the mix, I’ll be watching from the corner.”

Fufufu~. I had learned how to take a picture from a Sylph, and I couldn’t miss this!

“Yeah, okay……Well, you know…”

“…you don’t have to worry about me. I don’t care if you go have fun too.”

In fact, she’s been glancing at the faeries and fidgeting since around the time Tina started making the ring into a haramaki. She probably thinks I don’t know. It’s best to not say anything.

“I see…Well, if you’re sure, then I’m more than willing to have some fun with them, so go ahead…and let me join in the fun!!”

Spirit-chan turns around, takes three steps, and then makes a mad dash for the battlefield where magic is flying around.

You don’t have to force yourself to show off your dignity. You should be carpet bombing with a smile that’s appropriate for you appearance like that, it’s so cute…yup. Let’s just watch for a minute.

Why is that girl laughing so hard and destroying the ground with a barrage of magic from the sky? And why is she catching Boparu’s vertically spinning heel drop with one hand after she’s broken through unscathed!? I mean, she’s just slamming it into the ground!

After that, Spirit-chan defeated all of Fairy’s magical attacks that completely encircleed the surroundings with the same number of anti-attribute magic, or overwhelm Boparu in a melee, or scaring the shit out of Mizuki by anticipating her flight. She showed overwhelming strength in the composition of spirit-chan vs. everyone, such as turning Aigis into a star with a single blow!

Spirit-chan is scary! She is definitely not someone you want to piss off. Reminds me of last time wen I played with another such a reckless person as well!

Until I realized that the area around this fountain is just as impervious to damage as the city itself, I forgot about shooting pictures and prayed to the heavens that no stray bullets would come my way.
