67 – Recovery (3)

Phew!

He poured cold water on Rihanna’s face.

“Huh!”

She lifted her upper body up urgently with a single scream.

“Are you sobering up a bit?”

I put the glass on the table.

‘There is nothing as effective as cold water friction.’

The drunkenness will completely disappear.

“What, what?!”

Rihanna looks around with her dilated pupils as if trying to figure out what’s going on.

The face and hair are already wet with water.

“My, my store?”

“It looks like you’ve come to your senses.”

Dreaming.

Rihanna blinks and stares at me and the group.

“…who?”

I said, roughly pulling up a chair next to me and sitting down.

“Who are you? Your guest.”

“Aha, a customer?! No! Wait a minute, what kind of customer throws water at the store owner?”

She got up from her seat slowly, like a wet mouse.

I opened my mouth with a bewildered face.

“Then it’s okay for the owner to s*xually harass the customer?”

“…Me?”

“Okay, think about it carefully.”

“hmm…?”

Rihanna shook the water off her head with a thoughtful expression.

And then he suddenly stopped as if he had turned to stone.

“… That, that, that, that!”

He waves his hands in the air with a red face.

“I guess you remembered what happened earlier.”

It may be hard to believe, but she is usually quite cautious.

However, when I drink, I prove that I am the crazy one in this area by causing accidents here and there, and the gap is huge.

“I’m sorry! I’m sorry! I’m a total dog when I’m drunk. It wasn’t intentional. Really!”

Rihanna keeps bowing her head.

He waved his hand as if to tell me not to worry about it.

“Okay. But I’d like you to make me a potion instead.”

“Potion? What kind of potion are you talking about?”

Rihanna’s gaze changes into a professional one.

I feel confident because the atmosphere is completely different from before.

“I want a potion that will allow me to breathe underwater. Surely that will be possible?”

“It’s possible, but…”

Rihanna looked me up and down.

When I frown slightly, she makes a groan and lowers her gaze to the floor.

“I’m sorry! I didn’t know… I think it’s possible to make it. But it’ll cost quite a bit. Is that okay?”

“Okay. Is this enough for three people?”

I took out 30 gold from my bosom.

This is enough money to sustain a family of four for over a year.

“Are you joking right now?”

Rihanna’s expression hardened.

It seems like you don’t have much money.

“Is it not enough? Then more…”

“No, no! That’s enough.”

Rihanna opens her mouth and shakes her head urgently.

“I’ll start production right now. Could you please wait a moment?”

He put his mouth on the floor and smiled.

One of the advantages of being a monarch is that he has a lot of money.

Some say.

Money can never buy happiness.

However, as a monarch, I have spent money lavishly here and there. It is 100% because there is not enough money.

‘Okay, then let’s wait.’

It was while I was thinking that and looking at Rihanna’s back.

She glances at the strong whiskey on the table and quickly takes a sip.

Luna, who witnessed the scene, opened her mouth urgently.

“… You’re not thinking of drinking right now, are you?”

The most important thing in making potions is the combination of ingredients. It’s hard to do this combination even with a sober mind, but it’s hard to do it while drinking alcohol.

It’s a little bit too hot.

Rihanna starts to act silly as she stares at her.

“Haha… Why do I have this in my hand?”

Saying that, he puts the whiskey down again.

**

Has 10 minutes passed?

The door to the room Rihanna entered was wide open.

At the same time, a gunpowder-like smell filled my nose, which was quite unpleasant.

“It’s terrible… .”

Seina, who has a keen sense of smell, has her nose blocked and is breathing only through her mouth.

“You’ve been waiting for a long time? It’s done!”

In her two hands she held three crystal flasks containing blue liquid.

“It was fun to produce after such a long time. These days, the economy is in a recession so all I can do is fly.”

Rihanna smiled and handed each of them a potion.

“When you walk around drunk, you just end up with flies flying around.”

Rihanna scratched her head with a stinging face at Seina’s unintentional punch.

“… Ahem, let me tell you something to watch out for. Huh?! Wait a minute! What if you drink it already?”

Gulp gulp.

Seina downs the shot as if she were drinking a cold beer.

Pick, I can’t help but laugh. As expected of someone with a big appetite.

“I drank it because I was so thirsty. Why? Is there poison in it?”

“That’s not it… but this buff potion only lasts for a maximum of one hour. After an hour, you won’t be able to breathe underwater, so you have to get out before then. Do you understand?”

We nodded.

‘Isn’t an hour a bit too close?’

I need to get there as quickly as possible.

“Oh, and are you going into the Flores Sea by any chance?”

“Yeah. You know?”

“I can’t help but know. I live here. More recently, fishing boats have been suffering a lot of damage from mermaids.”

“Mermaids?”

Disney’s Little Mermaid suddenly came to mind.

Surely it doesn’t look like that?

“Yes, if you encounter mermaids, you should definitely run away. They hunt in packs.”

“Thanks for the advice.”

It doesn’t matter whether you attack in a group or not.

I don’t have the confidence to lose to those guys.

Than that.

‘As long as they’re not black, it’s fine.’

This was the most important.

**

Recovery.

This spell, also known as the Wish of Recovery, can be thought of as an item that restores stamina and mana.

‘I originally planned to increase my mana and gain some.’

Death Knights have a feature called ‘stat limit’.

If you choose a character as an inspector, you cannot increase mana-related stats.

Conversely, if you choose a wizard, you cannot increase stats related to physical strength.

You think it’s unreasonable?

Well, if you think about the previous game, it’s not like that. The difficulty of the previous game was lowered to an absurd level thanks to users coming up with jobs that the production company didn’t even create, like the magician.

The worst roguelike game turned into a mass-produced RPG game.

That’s why the production company introduced an additional system to prevent this, but they were really stingy.

Even leaving this behind.

For some reason, it was impossible for me to even get stats.

I don’t know why.

This is just my guess, but I think it probably has something to do with the defensive core being applied.

“Gerard, I’m starting to see a lot of demons.”

Step by step, step by step.

As we rode our horses out of the city, we soon found ourselves close to the Three Lords’ Castle.

When I glanced back, the city was nowhere to be seen.

“What are you going to do? Are you going to fight?”

“No, it won’t do any good to make a fuss. Let’s resolve this as quietly as possible.”

Seina and Luna nodded at my words.

“Stop. You uncivilized humans. Where are you going? From here on out, it’s the castle of the three great monarchs.”

A wide road leading to the castle.

Five blue-skinned demons wearing ornate armor stood in front of us.

I signaled to Seina and Luna with my eyes.

It meant to wait.

I got off my horse, leaving the two nodding their heads behind.

The demon looks at me with eyes full of interest.

“I was just going to take a look.”

He opened his mouth calmly.

The guy at the very front frowns sternly.

“I think I misheard you. How dare you, a human being, come see the monarchy?”

“Hey kid. When did I ever see the castle? I just saw the nearby sea.”

The guy nods his head with a look of understanding.

“I see. But, why do humans speak informally?”

A guy who is more into informal speech than the word brat.

Maybe I didn’t notice because I was swearing so naturally, or maybe swearing among demons is a daily part of our lives so it doesn’t feel awkward.

“Isn’t that possible?”

When I asked him again, he looked thoughtful and shrugged.

“There is nothing that cannot be done.”

He was a gentler guy than I thought.

I smiled and climbed onto the horse.

“I’m going to see the sea. It’s a long road.”

“Huh? Is that okay?”

“Anyway, I can’t even get to the entrance of the castle.”

‘Anyway, you gentle kids.’

If he were a human, he would probably have told them to pay the toll or turned on the recorder to be inflexible and say no.

These guys are real angels.

“Isn’t it true that power is deployed everywhere?”

The guy looks at me and continues talking, answering, “Okay.”

“Hey, you foolish human! Don’t be fooled by the beauty of the monarchy and don’t come near it. That will be your last.”

“Okay, then just open the door, kid.”

Nod.

As he gestures, the demon soldiers fall to either side.

I find that obedient appearance quite cute, but I wonder if this is also a disease.

“Fall over on your way! You stupid human being.”

A sound was heard from behind.

He grabbed the horse’s reins with a smile on his lips.

‘Okay, okay, thank you.’

To avoid misunderstanding, let me explain. It means to wish good luck.

Whatever the demons say, they always mix in some foul language.

“… What the heck? Those guys. Are they good or bad?”

“Iknow, right…?”

Seina and Luna also look back with puzzled faces.

**

with a plop!

We drank the water potion and jumped off the cliff.

From here on out, we were pretty close to the castle so we couldn’t ride any further.

-Wow, that’s amazing! I can breathe easily?!

Luna swims with graceful movements, her eyes wide open.

The sound was muffled, as if it was blocked by something, but I had no trouble understanding it even with my hearing turned up to max.

‘… It’s really huge.’

I took a quick look around.

The place we were in had some sunlight coming in, so we could see the ocean quite well.

Of course, the deeper you go, the less visible it becomes.

-It’s meat!

Fish I’ve never seen before come towards us. They come with their mouths wide open, and most of them are about my size.

-I guess they welcome us too!

Seina waves to the fish with innocent eyes.

Pick smiled.

It’s like a little kid visiting an aquarium for the first time.

Something that looked like a deep-sea fish suddenly came right up to Seina’s nose.

It was when she tried to touch the fish’s face.

Phew!!!!

I punched the b*stard in the face.

A guy who sinks deep into the sea.

-!

Seina looks shocked.

-Prepare for battle.

I just want to keep my innocence.

That thing isn’t welcoming us. It’s trying to eat us, Seina.
