Chapter 5 – Little Girl, Big Mystery

West of Talash lies a kingdom of the desert, the Kingdom of Stellaverce. Aurelia was born as the youngest princess of Stellaverce. The current king ruling this desert was suffering from an illness and wanted to determine which of his children was suitable to inherit the throne as soon as possible.

At 14 years old, Aurelia was the first to withdraw from the succession struggle, stating, “I am too young to become king, and the burden is far too heavy.” However, Aurelia was a mage possessing vast mana and was also a sharp-witted child. Because of this, rumors whispered in the shadows that “despite saying she withdrew, she is secretly aiming for the throne,” and tragically, her brothers and sisters, with whom she had been close until then, came to view her as an enemy.

One day, an assassin attacked Aurelia’s sleeping quarters. However, the assassination failed; the assassin was sliced apart by Aurelia’s magic and died. But the true identity of this assassin was none other than… her brother, Dietrich, who was two years older than her.

“Aurelia let Dietrich into her room late at night and treacherously attacked him.”

Her two older sisters, who rushed to the scene immediately, shouted this in unison. Aurelia should have been surrounded and captured by soldiers, but that did not happen. Knights who adored Aurelia stood in their way, declaring, “The Princess would never do such a thing,” and fought desperately to let Aurelia escape the royal palace. Aurelia, along with a small number of guards, fled into the night desert.

Although they managed to evade their pursuers in the night desert, once dawn broke, the pursuers would chase them down on sand vehicles. It was only a matter of time before they were caught and killed. That was when one of the knights said—there is a forest perfect for shaking off pursuers—and pointed them toward the woods south of Talash.

The party entered the woods and, as planned, succeeded brilliantly in losing their pursuers. If they continued south and reached Loray, they could use the sea route to escape to another country. However, the party was unable to leave the woods, and Aurelia lost her life there…

* * *

[Quest updated. {Revenge for Aurelia} has occurred.]

“My eldest brother, Kashpa…! That coward killed us all in those woods…!!”

“Ah, she stopped crying… Kashpa, Kashpa, huh…”

“Kashpa was studying Dark Magic. Something about the power of snakes… He used some kind of power to ambush us in those woods, using magic that created poison… One by one, we fell…!!”

“Dark Magic… I wonder if it’s the same as what I use…”

“Master.”

“Big Sis.”

“Eh.”

Ah, Aurelia looked so cute in the movie, and now that the movie is over and I’m looking at this shrunken, revived Aurelia again, my desire to be called “Big Sis” just exploded. Don’t you want to be called Big Sis by a cute loli with blonde hair and red eyes? Don’t you? Well, I do.

“B-Big Sis…?”

“Yes, call me Big Sis.”

“Rinne-san…?”

“I-I believe her magic is similar to, but different from, the magic you wield, Big Sis.”

Yeah, that has a nice ring to it… I feel like I only absorbed half of the conversation, but basically, my honest assessment is that there’s nothing we can do right now~.

“Hmm, even if we know the culprit, we have no evidence, and just being able to use Dark Magic doesn’t prove guilt. I want to help, but Kashpa is probably the current King of Stellaverce, right? Just getting close to him would be tough.”

“Kashpa has visited Loray before. It was back when I was struggling as a Priest; he got into an argument with the Meltis Church side. He was extremely arrogant and had the face of a stereotypical villain, so I remember him well! The royal crest I saw back then was the same as the crest on Aurelia-chan’s forehead!”

“Ah~ I want to send him flying… Killing such a cute little sister, I’ll definitely send him flying…”

Aurelia was high-maintenance and troublesome, and I raised her thinking she might be a useless child in the worst case, but now that she’s regained her human form, she is just too cute. Now I’m itching to beat up her nemesis Kashpa for her sake… but hmm~…

“Even if I want to beat him up, the opponent is a King… He probably has tons of guards, so it looks like a hassle. I kinda want to save it for later…”

“In the Treasure Vault of Stellaverce, many great historical treasures sleep! Upon the dawn of you defeating the hateful Kashpa, you may take all the treasure in the vault!!”

“……Ah, I suddenly want to make this my top priority target!”

“You must not; that is an act of destroying a nation, you know…? The scale is different from when we reclaimed Loray by repelling pirates on sheer momentum…”

“There are also flashy gold and silver treasures, and glittering armor that Perseus-san would likely prefer!”

“I see, I see!?”

“Once our levels go up more, let’s absolutely go beat down Kashpa, Peru-chan!”

“Quite so! Yes, let us do it! We should consult with Nap Lover-san too, and I would love to go take Kashpa’s head with the full military might of Kasho no Yume!”

“Woof~… (I wonder if we’ll be okay…)”

Stellaverce’s Treasure Vault! We have to do this, right? Though, it’ll definitely be tough with just the two of us, so I want to rely on those we can rely on! Ah, I feel it again—I’m so glad I joined a guild…!

“Maybe around Level 50? I might want about two more servants too.”

“Indeed, and we want to evolve them further too! They can evolve further, correct?”

“Yeah! It looks like both Donta and Aurelia can still evolve.”

“We need further leveling! Ah, but before that, let us identify the items, and then get food for Don-chan.”

“Woof!! (Food!!)”

“You’ve completely memorized the word ‘Food’, haven’t you, Donta…?”

“Woof!! (Memorized!)”

“Oh my, oh my, you learned ‘Food’? Good boy, good boy! There, there!”

Alright, let’s go to Stellaverce and hunt Kashpa’s head. He’ll be a powerful opponent, so we need to make perfect preparations… Some might think, ‘Is invading a country really okay?’, but this is a game that sells itself on the freedom to play how you want, so I gotta do whatever I want! Plus, the quest name changed to {Revenge for Aurelia}, so it’s basically like the game gave us its stamp of approval saying, ‘Go, go, do it, do it!’ This means… we have no choice but to kill him, huh!

“Then let us return to the Guild House! It seems Baldie-san has prepared food and is waiting! I will open the Guild Portal now.”

Eh! There’s even a convenient function to return directly to the Guild House! Why didn’t you bring this out when we met up in Talash?

“Only guild members can enter! I wonder if Aurelia-chan and Don-chan can enter…”

“Ah, I see. Donta, can you enter this door-thingy connected to a different space?”

“Woof!”

I see, since only guild members can enter, she came all the way from Talash on foot. Is it also a countermeasure to prevent outsiders from forcing their way into the Guild House by slipping in the moment the portal opens? Ah, Donta entered properly. Can Aurelia-chan enter too? She’s in.

“Now, please go ahead, Rinne-san!”

“Then, excuse me…”

Ah…! Donta went in first, so isn’t the inside of the Guild House going to be in total chaos…!?

“Wooohoooooo!? What is this huge doggo!? So fluffyyyy!”

“Ah, welcome back Don-chan~. So Rinne-san is with you too~.”

“Ouh, you’re here! I was waiting!”

“There is someone meeting Rinne-san for the first time. Everyone! This is Rinne-san, who has newly joined the guild! She is my friend~! Please treat her well, okay?”

“Hyhooooooo~~!! Fluffy doggo is the beeeest~~! Don-chan? Is his name Don-chan? Don-chaa~~n!! So fluffyyyy~!”

“Woooof~~!! (That tickles~! Ahaha!)”

“Reiji-san! Touching someone else’s servant without permission is rude!!”

“Ah, my bad!! I’m Reiji, I’m doin’ the Sub-master gig! My job’s Samurai. Angel support looked shady so I turned it down, didn’t join the Church either! People call me a weirdo, but hey, let’s get along!”

“Ni… ce… to… meet…”

“Woof!!”

Don-chan was immediately loved by the fluff-lover. Reiji-san is a Samurai. True, he’s holding a katana… I hear katanas are hard for amateurs to master, but I wonder if he’s okay…?

“Reiji-san is also a Sub-master of Kasho no Yume. Just like me.”

“There are two Sub-masters…?”

“There’s five of us! Perseus-ojouchan is just the most famous one! Baldie is a Sub-mas too.”

“Our active times and regions differ slightly. That is why there are five of us.”

“I see…”

So there are multiple Sub-masters. I guess the five of them cover different times and areas, scouting and managing the guild between them? Huh? Where did Aurelia-chan go?

“Hey, hey, hey, isn’t this avatar cuter!?”

“The store-bought Witch Robe isn’t enough, let’s go with the Great Witch Dress~!”

“Hawawawa…”

“Isn’t this pointed hat with the red lining cuter!? It makes her fragile blonde hair pop~~!!”

“Then should we dye the inner lining of the dress? Dye it red?”

“Isn’t black-on-black fine here? Making it a focal point so the blonde hair stands out is cuter!”

“Can I attach this Black Cat Hairpin? Look, cute! With her forehead showing, she’s a super cute girl!”

She’s been captured by the guild ladies… Haha, haha… she’s being turned into a dress-up doll… Wait, if her forehead is showing, won’t the proof of royal succession be exposed… Huh? It’s gone? Can she hide it? Come to think of it, it might have already been gone before we entered the Guild Portal. I planned to explain eventually, but I thought it would cause chaos if too much info dropped at once, so I’m glad it wasn’t revealed right now.

“Rinne-san, you brought a wonderful little girl, but who is this little girl!?”

“Big Sis, save me…”

“She… is… mine… Please, treat Aurelia… kindly…”

“Her name is Aurelia-chan!?”

Aurelia died at 14, but maybe due to restarting life as a Little Witch, her appearance has rejuvenated to about 9 or 10 years old. She looks like a loli, but she’s 14 on the inside, so being mobbed with “Cute, cute” like this might be pretty embarrassing for her.

“—Yes, hearing there was a little girl, Eris-chan has flown in from another channel~.”

“Oh no, someone stop Eris!”

“Blonde hair, red eyes, loli…! Inhaaaaaale…… Haaaaaah…… High-standard, high-quality Lolinium… it’s soaking into my body……”

“Hiiiiiiiiieee…!?”

“Why are you suddenly snorting the little girl!?”

“Pervert, get away from her!”

“I was holding back even though I wanted to do it!”

“Eris, contact with Aurelia-chan is prohibited! Being suddenly hugged by a pervert was scary, wasn’t it~?”

“Rinne-chan, sorry. Even like that, she’s our Sub-master… I’ll scold her severely…”

“I… Is, that, so…”

“E———ri———s!! First, apologize to Aurelia-chan and Rinne-san. That behavior was way too rude.”

I thought Nap Lover-san was a spacey, sloppy person, but she gets angry properly when needed. Though, well, the first person to sexually harass me in this guild was Nap Lover-san… But since it was at a level that barely stayed within the acceptable line, I’ll count it as a pass. Eris-san crossed the acceptable line in one shot. And she is just too, well, c-creepy… She looks like a beautiful dark-skinned dancer, but she’s ruining everything with her current behavior… Woah, a Real Module! Is she dark-skinned in real life too…?

“Aurelia-chan, um, I-I’m sorry… Suddenly doing that was rude…”

“I hate you!”

“Eh.”

“Ah.”

Aurelia, a terrifying full-force rejection. Eris-san has completely frozen… Aurelia also has a face like, ‘Ah, I accidentally said the truth.’ Well, yeah, she did something deserving of being hated. You have to build trust and get closer before doing stuff like that…

“Eris-san is… out for a while…”

“Eris, apologize to Rinne-san later too, okay?”

“Eris is dead…”

“A lolicon had words of disgust hurled at them full force by a loli; it’s no wonder she died.”

I don’t really need an apology, and later is fine, so let’s leave her be for a bit. More importantly, I have something to consult Nap Lover-san about… I realized it after coming back to the Guild House, and I was wondering what to do…

“Um, Nap Lover-san, I have a consultation…”

“Hm~? What is it~? If it’s about banishing Eris, can you somehow forgive her just this once~?”

“Ah, that doesn’t really matter either way… Is it okay… if Donta and Aurelia… stay in the Guild House?”

“Aah~! You mean is it okay to let Don-chan and Aurelia-chan wait in the Guild House while you’re logged out~? Sure~! If you have extra, leave some money for food, and someone might feed them.”

“Th-Thank you very much…”

“It’s fine, it’s fine~. I’m happy you worked up the courage to ask~.”

“Ah, um… Yes!”

“Fufu~♪”

Nap Lover-san is an understanding person… She senses what I want and moves the conversation forward without me having to explain everything; truly worthy of a Guild Master binding a large group together… Anyway, my worry is resolved! The problem of what to do with Donta and Aurelia while I’m logged out is solved.

“Come to think of it, Don-chan is treated as a monster, so maybe he can’t enter the Church? What are you doing about the various Church-related issues?”

“Eh… I’ve never, really, been to the Church…”

“Never been? Not once?”

“N-No…”

“Rinne-saaaan! Appraisal—!!”

“Ah, excuse, me…”

“Oka~ay. Never been to church… how did she change jobs… A Beast Tamer as a starting class is…”

Right, right, there was the appraisal! The cursed necklace I equipped, the unidentified item dropped by the rare wolf before he became Donta, and the book that dropped earlier too! I’m looking forward to seeing what they are~!

“If it’s appraisal, Room 3 in the back is open. Here, Don-chan! Giga-Sized Wild Steak!”

“Awooooooooooooooooooooooooon~~♡”

“Thank you for telling us, Baldie-san! Now, let us do the appraisals in the back room!”

Finally, appraisal time~! I heard that items that can perfectly appraise stats are cash items, but is it okay…?

“Why do it inside a room? And I heard those are cash items, is that okay?”

“It is because we can hide items if we get an appraisal result we do not want to reveal. That is why we do it in a private room that can be locked. Also, appraisal items can be used as many times as you like within the validity period, so please do not mind it.”

“Ah, I see. True, this necklace might be a bundle of inconveniences.”

“It will be revealed to me, but please bear with it, okay?”

“If it’s you, Peru-chan, I don’t mind if it’s all revealed. It’s fine.”

“Rinne-san’s… all… revealed…! N-Nnngh!! Then, let us start with the necklace!”

For the appraisal item, she holds an item that looks like a magnifying glass over the item to be appraised, and it does it automatically. Oh, a window with the appraisal results opened! Heeh~ this is fun~!

“This accessory is… Th-This is terrible…”

“Eh? Let me see~? Ehhh……?”

“……”

“If I had equipped this, it would have been instant death.”

“Yeah, looks like it…”

Sad news… The necklace I equipped turned out to be gear that absolutely cannot be worn without resistance. And the name is Stellaverce Royal Necklace—this was totally equipment related to Aurelia…

“Thanks to that Golden Slime Card having a Boss attribute, you are able to brute-force equip it without qualifications, aren’t you…”

“Does this mean it’s equipment with two slots? Does that mean I can set one more card?”

“My! That certainly seems to be the case. The card name still has parts where information is concealed… And likely, the effect of this card is the reason you were able to curse the Stone Armor Slime to death in the blink of an eye!”

“I seeeee… What are the details of the card?”

“You can check the picture drawn on the card! Ah…”

“Ah—……”

I figured it out from the picture drawn on the First Queen Stellaverce Card, but…… it’s a Lamia. A female monster with the lower body of a snake—this is the form of the First Queen of Stellaverce… The snake Aurelia mentioned, could it be…

“I feel like I can vaguely guess what’s going on…”

“Indeed…”

“W-Well, anyway, it seems there’s no problem wearing it! Next appraisal please!”

“Q-Quite so! What is next?”

Let’s pretend we didn’t see that and move on. It’s fine, I think we’ll understand if we question Kashpa later… The next item to appraise is this one! Donta’s drop!

“Appraise this next!”

“Yes, understood! Here goes~!”

This is an item that absolutely cannot be worn without appraisal; the icon in the inventory is displayed as [?], and even when taken out, it was a black box-shaped item with an indistinguishable form. Now, I wonder what kind of accessory this is!

“……Hm?”

“Oh, oh my, this is…!?”

Eh? What is this? Ears…??

★Wolf Headband
Avatar Head or Accessory [Other]
• Woof!! Equip this and you too can be a Wolf Beastman!? Cosplay Avatar Item!
• This item is a non-sale item that does not appear in the Avatar Gacha
Cannot be Enhanced. Tradable.
Weight: 0kg

“This will easily go for at least 3M Silver…”

“……Three million… Silver!?”

“Rinne-san, as written in this description, this avatar does not come out of the gacha!! Furthermore, animal ear-type avatars have never been confirmed until now!!”

“Ah, that is definitely going to be pricey…”

“If cat ears were to appear……”

“Aah! That would definitely be dangerous!”

The accessory Donta dropped was an avatar item… No wonder its identity was unknown until appraised. If I could have worn it, I would have known instantly it was a wolf ear avatar without appraisal. That’s why it looked like a blacked-out mystery box.

“Now then~, the last one is the book, is it not!”

“Yeah, the book too! Appraisal please!”

“Let us appraise it!”

And finally, the last item. The book filled with indecipherable text that we got from the treasure chest after defeating the Stone Armor King Slime! What is the intriguing title of this book~…?

““Tome of the Demon God Babylon’s Descent””

Tome of the Demon God Babylon’s Descent… In other words, it means exactly what it says, right!? I can meet Babylon-sama, right!?

“What shall we do with this…?”

“I can meet Babylon-sama again, right!? Let’s use it, c’mon! C’mon! Let’s summon her!!”

“You intend to summon her!? Is it safe to summon her so casually!?”

“But I want to see her… I want to thank her, and report that I’ve gotten stronger…”

“Hmm~… I wonder if it is truly safe to use…”

“The room is locked, and if she gets mad, we’ll just apologize, okay? Okaaay?”

“Nnn~… Very well! Let us try using it!”

It was an item we obtained relatively easily, so using it casually shouldn’t be a problem! Let’s use it~!

[Do you wish to use {Tome of the Demon God Babylon’s Descent} to summon Demon God Babylon?]

“Umm, I guess I just press ‘Yes’?”

[Are you sure you want to summon Demon God Babylon?]

I said summon, so summon! Click!!

[The gate separating the Demon World and the Physical World is shattered, and Demon God Babylon descends…]

“Who is it that calls my name————Wait, it’s you guuuuys~~♡”

NNNGH!! SO CUTEEE!!!

“Rinne-san!?”

“Oh~ no~♡ Don’t go dying just from seeing my face~♡”

Oh… I let my guard down… I nearly died from the sheer intensity; I have to stay strong. Goth-Loli is the best. That sadistic and bewitching face is the best. Her twin vertical drill rolls are just too magnificent and wonderful… Is Babylon-sama actually a god? Well, she is a Demon God, so she is a god. Hmm~… God…!

“Oh my? You guys have gotten quite a bit stronger than I thought~! Good girl, good girl~♡ By the way, did you have some business to summon me for~?”

“I wanted to see your face, Babylon-sama! I wanted to thank you, and I wanted you to praise me, so I summoned you!! Thank you for everything—for Donta’s evolution, and for making me a Necromancer!!”

“Faithful to your desires~♡ But I don’t dislike that~♡ No need for thanks… hmm~? Hey, Crazy Woman. You can’t use magic at all, can you~? Why is that~?”

“Ah… I-I’ve been desperate just… leveling up…”

“Hmmm. And? What about that Flashy Woman over there~? Try drawing your Demon Sword for a second~♡”

“Y-Yes, right here!”

“……Is that it~?”

“Is… Is that it…? I can also bring out daggers, but…”

“Hey, hey~. Is the only thing that got stronger your raw power~? Polish your technique more, your technique~!!”

“Yes… I am terribly sorry…”

Hmm, it suddenly turned into a critique session… Even if you say that, magic isn’t something you can just churn out instantly, so what should I do?

“If it were me, I could bring out a thousand Demon Swords with ease, you know~♡”

“A thousand!?”

“Yep♡ Do your best, Flashy Woman~♡ As for the Crazy Woman~… your taste in equipment has improved, hasn’t it~?”

“You mean… this necklace?”

“Yep♡ Do you want to try making strong items like that yourself?”

“I can make them!?”

Eh!? Can I make a necklace heavily decorated with curses like this one!? If I can make them, I’d love to try…

“Equipment that has been cursed is called a ‘Cursed Object’ (Fetish)~. Now then, a question~♡ What should you do to create a strong Cursed Object~?”

To create a strong Cursed Object… How…? It might be a shallow thought, but is it okay to say what just popped into my head…?

“Since it’s a Cursed Object, it needs a curse, right… Materials likely to be cursed…? Like precious metals or gems that easily harbor human grudges?”

“Even animals hold grudges if their lives are stolen, you know~? It’s not just humans.”

“Umm… Then, maybe using the opponent who died holding a grudge, just as they are…?”

“Yes, yes, correct on the first try—!! Gems or equipment that were grudged by someone in life don’t make for much of a curse. If you use the entire soul that died holding anger, suffering, hatred, and various negative emotions, you can create a very powerful Cursed Object♡.”

Hueee~. I said it fearfully thinking I’d get scolded, but I got it right~!

“Left hand♡.”

“Hue…?”

“In exchange for losing your left hand, I’ll give you a prosthetic hand that lets you create as many Cursed Objects as you like♡. Well? Want it?”

⚠️
[System Alert]
You are about to enter a Cursed Contract with Demon God Babylon. Please be careful!

“I-I want it!! If it’s a present from Babylon-sama, I’ll take anything!!”

⚠️
[System Alert]
You have entered a Cursed Contract with Demon God Babylon…

Shut up System Alert, Babylon-sama is getting super close right now and it’s the best! Ah, a faint scent of roses… Hyaa~~ I’m not Eris-san from earlier, but I want to hug Babylon-sama and take a deep breath… Eh? Wait, what are you doing Babylon-sa… nnnnnngghhhhh!?!?!?!

“Even if I call it a prosthetic hand, it’s like a cursed hand that fuses with the Crazy Woman’s body to move♡. Accept it…♡.”

“O, uh…!?”

Babylon-sama’s right arm… from around my solar plexus… it’s squelching… and sliding inside… isn’t it…? This… eh? Is this okay!?

[Took ???????????? damage from Demon God Babylon (Lv. ????).]

[You have died.]

[Demon God Babylon (Lv. ????) activated {?????????}. You have been reconstructed. Left Hand Equipment has become {★Jet Black Prosthetic Hand} and cannot be changed. Acquired Necromancy Skill {Animate Fetish}.]

[Because you acquired a Necromancer-exclusive skill, you have newly gained NP. Furthermore, the Special Inventory Skill {Morgue 1~5} has been unlocked.]

I died—!? No, I came back to life instantly—!? I didn’t understand what happened after her right arm stabbed into me, but I guess it completed successfully…? Eh, Peru-chan looks terrified.

“This is your reward for entertaining me by summoning me with the Tome of Descent♡. Since you’re a Crazy Woman, I’m sure you can make wonderful Cursed Objects, so do your best♡. Ah, Flashy Woman, since we’re here, do you want new eyes or something?”

“NO, I DO NOT…!”

“Really? That’s too bad… Ah, the Crazy Woman’s new servant was Aurelia, right? You want a broom, don’t you~? Since you have the chance, try making one with that left hand♡. I’ll send you a book on how to make it later~♡.”

Ehh!? Cursed Objects aren’t just accessories, I can make weapons like brooms too!? Losing the left hand equipment slot is a demerit, but being able to create equipment feels like a huge merit… I wonder how it balances out?

“It’s about time for the gate to be repaired. I’m going back to the Demon World~♡. It would be nice if one day this gate were permanently shattered so I could keep descending to the Physical World~… Well, see ya~♡.”

[Demon God Babylon returns to the Demon World… The gate separating the Demon World and the Physical World has been repaired.]

Ah, she went back… Nn~… Babylon-sama really is the best. Her sweet, melting voice feels like it’s echoing in my head forever; it feels so good… I want to see her again…

“…Rinne-san, does it not hurt anywhere?”

“Eh? Ah, true, a death log did appear. It didn’t hurt.”

“The whole room turned bright red… That will be a trauma for a while…”

“Did it look like a tomato being crushed with full force or something~?”

“Must you use such an accurate metaphor!? Jeeeez~~!!”

“S-Sorry…”

Sorry, Peru-chan. It was bad of me to say something that reminded you of it… Woah! That’s right, my left hand changed into a prosthetic. Can I check the stats in the equipment details?

★Jet Black Prosthetic Hand
Legendary Forced Left Hand Equip
• [Curse] A small part of the Demon God's body is integrated
• [Curse] Cannot wear equipment on the Left Hand
• It is possible to use the Left Hand to two-hand a weapon
• Can use {Animate Fetish}
Cannot be unequipped. Cannot be destroyed.
Weight: 0kg

A part of Babylon-sama is united with me… The joy of being one with her… What should I do? I want to rub my cheek against my left hand, but Peru-chan is here, so I’ll stop. I’ll pretend to be normal for now and rub my cheek against it to my heart’s content later.

“I wonder how to use this… Ah! She said she’d send a book on how to use it.”

“I also received a Demon Sword instruction manual before I knew it! Perhaps we received these as rewards for putting Babylon-sama in a good mood using the Tome…”

“Actually, the Tome of Descent might be a bonus item. Ah, but if there were a god from an opposing faction and we summoned them, it feels like it would have turned into a disaster instead.”

“There may be gods who are on bad terms with Babylon-sama, so we must investigate…”

From now on, so we don’t ruin Babylon-sama’s mood, we have to be careful not to get friendly with opposing factions if they exist. Let’s research properly…

Ah, [Introduction to Cursed Objects] has been added to my inventory! I just need to read this and study how to make Cursed Objects. Let’s check the contents immediately!

[Opening Introduction to Cursed Objects]
—As the name implies, a Cursed Object is cursed equipment. You can create a Cursed Object by combining base equipment, a corpse housing a strong grudge, and a cursed item. You can create one simply by touching the vessel (base) with your left hand and chanting "Devote" toward the offering, but controlling the quality of the Cursed Object is extremely difficult. Success rates and such depend on [MAG] and [MND].

“I see, I guess I’ll understand if I actually try it!”

Anyway, it seems I can make weapons with this too. So first, I need to find a broom to serve as the vessel for the curse, and combine it with the corpse of a defeated monster and a cursed item! I can’t prepare a monster corpse right now so… Huh, a skill called Morgue has been added too. What is this?

Ooh, this is a dedicated corpse inventory that lets me bring back defeated monsters without them disappearing! Icons looking like coffins are lighting up! Heeh, so if Donta or Aurelia get taken out, they’ll be coffined in this Morgue~……. Eh? Does this mean that until now, if they were taken out, there was a possibility they would have died and disappeared like normal monsters? Messing with the Stone Armor King Slime was a tremendous folly… If they had died, it might have been irreversible…!!

“Rinne-san? Reiji-san has logged in, so it is definitely past 11:00 PM, you know? Oh my, in fact, it is already 1:00 AM!?”

“Nnngh!? Crap, I have to sleep soon!”

“Let us end here for today. If you log out inside the Guild House, you will start from the Guild House lobby when you log in tomorrow, so you can resume safely.”

“Is that so! Then, see you tomorrow! Thank you for today, Peru-chan!”

“Yes, see you tomorrow!”

Anyway, let’s stop for today. If I don’t stop now, it’s going to wreck me tomorrow! Uwa~… I played straight for 7 hours. Fun times pass in an instant… When was the last time I got so absorbed in something and thought it was fun? When was it…? I don’t remember.

[Processing Logout…]

[Good work. We await you again in the land of Meltis——See ya later, Crazy Woman~♡.]

“EEEHH!!”

At the very, very end, Babylon-sama popped out from the corner of the blackened screen and waved me off!! This is insane, it’s a God Game… It’s the best… Hyooooooo… Can I sleep tonight? Will I be okay? My heart is pounding just remembering it; looks like I won’t be able to sleep. I’m worried about school tomorrow…

【Aurelia Stellaverce】
A former skeletal remains who was simply waiting to rot in the woods south of Talash. A little witch who was given life again by Rinne and began walking a second life. She was the youngest princess holding succession rights to the throne of the Kingdom of Stellaverce. Although she declared she had no intention of succeeding the throne, her biological siblings feared her because she possessed powerful magic and a brilliant mind, so they entrapped her with a cunning trap and killed her. She burns with a mission to eliminate her despicable brother Kashpa at all costs, fearing the country will be destroyed if he remains King of Stellaverce.

[Beast Tamer?] Mel-On Info Sharing Thread Part 395
105 Nameless Adventurer
※ No new info on the Beast Tamer so far.
106 Nameless Adventurer
Wasn't it just bait after all? Just edited screenshots to look like it. Even the deletion was probably a self-made drama.
107 Nameless Adventurer
>>106
That doesn't explain the Warning Level 2 display. It's definitely real, tons of eyewitness accounts too.
108 Nameless Adventurer
She's not around Talash anymore. Was it fake?
109 Nameless Adventurer
Perseus was nearby too, right?
110 Nameless Adventurer
If Perseus was there, didn't they head to Loray?
111 Nameless Adventurer ※Warning Level 1
The Loray area is Kasho no Yume turf, so I don't wanna go near there…
112 Nameless Adventurer
>>111
Why don't you want to go near them? Are they malicious players? If there's no specific reason, it's no problem to go near them, right… Ah (Realization).
113 Nameless Adventurer ※Warning Level 1
There are tons of PK reports, and there are guys who actually lost almost all their main equipment and are in a state of stupor. So yeah, they really exist.
114 Nameless Adventurer
I was surprised to see a player with a huge doggo lol. They went into Kasho no Yume's Guild House lol.
115 Nameless Adventurer
>>114
IT'S HEEEEERE————((((;゜Д゜)))!!
116 Nameless Adventurer
>>114
So she did join Kasho no Yume…
117 Nameless Adventurer
>>114
How big was it? Like, big as a house?
118 Nameless Adventurer
>>114
Hurry up and give the info.
119 Nameless Adventurer
About twice as big as me lol.
120 Nameless Adventurer
>>114
So she does exist! The Beast Tamer!
121 Nameless Adventurer
>>114
I won't admit it until there's a screenshot proof.
122 Nameless Adventurer
>>114
It's just a bait post to hype up the thread flow, right?
123 Nameless Adventurer
>>114
Beginners can't choose Beast Tamer. Give it a rest, Lying Liar-son.
124 Nameless Adventurer
>>114
It might be weak as proof without lying, but I saw her too. In Loray. She had a super, um, bold avatar. It was bountiful.
125 Nameless Adventurer
Bold avatar…?
126 Nameless Adventurer
>>124
Contradicts the report that the Beast Tamer girl was in starter clothes. Confirmed lie.
127 Nameless Adventurer
>>124
What kinda avatar was it?
128 Nameless Adventurer
>>124
Details on the avatar's looks, hurry.
129 Nameless Adventurer
>>127
Something like a black Goth-Loli. Lots of frills. The chest area was open and it was the best, what a view. It forces your eyes to go to her chest; it's impossible not to look. Thanks for the meal.
130 Nameless Adventurer
Did she get it from Perseus? She seems like she'd have a ton of avatars.
131 Nameless Adventurer
She probably got it from Perseus.
132 Nameless Adventurer
Nice~ I want an avatar too.
133 Nameless Adventurer
>>129
Did you look at her face properly? Did you look at her face instead of just her chest?
134 Nameless Adventurer
>>133
No sorry, I was only looking at her chest so I didn't look closely (Confession).
135 Nameless Adventurer
If they can write this much detail, doesn't she actually exist?
136 Nameless Adventurer
You mean it's not a group bait post? Seriously? Is Beast Tamer a thing?
137 Nameless Adventurer
I got attacked by a trio—a jet-black knight and a man and woman who looked like mages—in the woods south of Talash and almost died. Does anyone else get hit by them?
138 Nameless Adventurer ※Warning Level 1
Even if I want to contact her, if this post is correct, she joined Kasho no Yume, so she's on the 'Person of Interest' list…
139 Nameless Adventurer ※Warning Level 1
Those guys will kill you calmly even inside the city, they're dangerous for real.
140 Nameless Adventurer
Killing inside the city is a lie, right? Guards would come normally.
141 Nameless Adventurer ※Warning Level 1
The Loray guards can't go against Kasho no Yume so they turn a blind eye.
142 Nameless Adventurer ※Warning Level 1
Loray guards are incompetent.
143 Nameless Adventurer
The achievement of liberating Loray from pirate occupation is huge, but honestly, it feels like Kasho no Yume occupied it in place of the pirates lol.
144 Nameless Adventurer
Forget Loray or Kasho no Yume, I want to know about the Beast Tamer!!!
145 Nameless Adventurer
>>137
No, never seen 'em. Area Boss? Players?
146 Nameless Adventurer
It's late at night, she's definitely offline. It's 2 AM.
147 Nameless Adventurer
I wanna eat udon.
148 Nameless Adventurer
>>147
Don't mess around, I'm getting hungry. I'll kill you.
149 Nameless Adventurer
>>147
Don't forgive this guy.
150 Nameless Adventurer
>>147
You're definitely a villain with negative Karma…
151 Nameless Adventurer
>>147
DON'T SCREW AROUND————!!!!!!!
152 Nameless Adventurer
>>145
I don't know. The knight couldn't speak, but the two mages were talking. Players… maybe? Might be NPCs. Sorry, they were super strong so I thought someone might know. Sorry for the lack of info.
153 Nameless Adventurer
Maybe I'll stake out Loray tomorrow…
154 Nameless Adventurer
If she logs in tomorrow, that is.
155 Nameless Adventurer
I wanna become a Beast Tamer toooooo…
156 Nameless Adventurer
Let me fluff the doggo… Let me dive into her chest…
157 Nameless Adventurer
Into the Beast Tamer-chan's chest…?
158 Nameless Adventurer
Apparently, contact via the so-called ‘Lucky Lecher’ method is possible!
159 Nameless Adventurer
>>158
For real? FOR REAL!?
160 Nameless Adventurer
>>158
THIS is the real new info.
161 Nameless Adventurer
>>158
If that's a lie, you… you just you wait.
162 Nameless Adventurer
>>158
True, if you couldn't touch, female players would be too advantageous… In other words, in PvP, isn't it an all-you-can-touch buffet!?
163 Nameless Adventurer
>>158
I want to investigate so you go become a woman for a sec.
164 Nameless Adventurer
Sex change request bro lmao.
165 Nameless Adventurer
Why can you guys get this hyped over just chests?
166 Nameless Adventurer
>>165
You can't get hyped over chests? Are you impotent?
167 Nameless Adventurer
True, the damage hitbox for female players' chests in PvP is a concern. If the hitbox is increased, or if attacks are forcibly diverted to other places when hitting the chest, it's completely disadvantageous. Makes you wonder about the system.
168 Nameless Adventurer
>>167
Unless it's a Real Module, you can change the size. There probably aren't any situations severe enough to worry about that.
169 Nameless Adventurer
>>167
If huge boobs are out but flat chests are safe, looks like all female PvP players are gonna become flat… Conversely, I'm scared a trend will form where flat female players are strong in PvP.
170 Nameless Adventurer
>>167
I'm worried about damage to men's crotches too. Does it become a critical hit?
171 Nameless Adventurer
>>170
It's up in the damage verification thread. It becomes a critical.
172 Nameless Adventurer
Hieee…
173 Nameless Adventurer
Scary.
174 Nameless Adventurer
We must protect it…
175 Nameless Adventurer
Well, looks like there's no more info for today… I'm dissatisfied, but I'm going to sleep.
176 Nameless Adventurer
The base seems to be Loray, so I guess I'll log out in Loray too.
177 Nameless Adventurer
This game basically gives zero hints for implemented content, huh. No bug reports either… Was the inability to charge cash the only issue? So far.
178 Nameless Adventurer
>>177
The inability to charge cash was restored in 5 minutes. Other than that, nothing so far.
179 Nameless Adventurer
A game where bugs aren't found to a terrifying degree… It's scary in reverse.
180 Nameless Adventurer
The completion level is too high. I seriously don't want to go back to reality.
181 Nameless Adventurer
I almost despair at the fact that I'm just a powerless ordinary person in reality.
182 Nameless Adventurer
Ah, the fun times are over, work starts again tomorrow…
183 Nameless Adventurer
>>182
Oi, stop that.
184 Nameless Adventurer
>>182
Quit your job.
185 Nameless Adventurer
Being a NEET is great, Adventurer…
186 Nameless Adventurer
>>185
Shut up, get a job.
187 Nameless Adventurer
Quit the job or get a job, which is it…
188 Nameless Adventurer
Quit the job AND get a job.
189 Nameless Adventurer
I don't get what you mean, plus there's nothing but content vastly deviating from the info thread here anymore.
190 Nameless Adventurer
Frustrating…
191 Nameless Adventurer
Wait for follow-up reports, I guess. Guess I'll log out… Later~.
