Second Story Online: Aiming To Become The World's Number 1. Ideal Witch

I got [dirt magic], which is new magic. You've got new magic. You want to use this magic. I just want to raise my magic level as well.

Experience is only available in trace amounts at the training station. So it's a good idea to get on the field and fight monster opponents. It's just time and night.

The question is where to go. [Dusk Forest] doesn't want to get close for a while. Besides, the monsters in the woods over there are troublesome when they can come in numbers. There is a level difference in the monsters on the plains that spread across the city and there is not enough to try and shoot. So this time I decided to go to the East Forest, which was near Berry Village.

Head east from the city of Die Road. Oh, yeah. A new magic had been added to [Wind Magic] before this, so let's use that. The new magic is [windstep].

Travel speed increases only slightly. I'll walk with that. Oh, it's certainly faster than usual. Run and you'll see more of the difference in that speed.

Immediately after this previous epic quest, I saw what Berry Village looked like a long time ago.

If you take the road further, it will follow in a certain direction of the port town. Going down the parting road from that road, we reached the eastern forest.

The number of people around at night is there. Is there even a little bit in the woods, I could see the lights.

"Oops."

... and I thought, apparently not. An organization emerged with a firecracker from the side. That's an oak, not a person. I bowled with about four orcs.

Oak's face is a little scary. If we meet in these woods in the middle of the night, it's a light horror. Didn't your heart palpitate get faster? Such is the case. They will have their own weapons.

"I don't hate being belligerent. It also saved me a lot of time searching for magic."

I laugh and creep in the dark. That's what I'm saying it looks like...... Shall we also practice facial expressions in the mirror next time?

But it seemed to work and the orcs were frightened just a little bit. My heart is still bugging me though.

I've been trying and shooting [dirt magic] at my oak opponent for a while. When the skill level reaches 5, you can now use magic that allows you to install a dirt wall in the front called [Ground Shield].

Only a little HP is set up, and it seems to stay on the spot if this goes away or the disappearance time doesn't pass.

"The level has risen to 20. 2 more SPs."

Oh, I've got a level. I can finally get to the twentieth level.

I'll hunt the oak again for a while at this rate. The oak is certainly tough, but the high firepower keeps you on the verge of dying with one blow. Even if we show all this power, the orcs come at us without fear. I admire that spirit. Maybe you only have a brain (AI) that will attack you if you simply find an enemy.

But there was an orc who escaped during the fight only once. I'm not ruthless enough to go after the escapees, so I'll miss it. To the orcs who come up against me...

"My magic, if you can stand it, let it endure."

Let's intercept with all our might.... is it Nil? Nil would be stopping at a nearby branch and sleeping. I slept on the way because I could afford it. You won't see enemy status, do your job.

"Dark Magic Skill is now 20. Derivative skills are now available."

Wind Magic Skill is now 20. Derivative skills are now available. "

Wait. I need a minute. Suddenly there was a system message storm. Will you stop, you'll be surprised. Apparently there have been changes in [magic knowledge] and [summons: Familia], but we'll see about that later.

Even though the rain is shaking and I can't see the sky, it's already morning. Though I can be unrivalled at night, I'm already close to helpless during the day. Shall we just get back to the city?

Walk through the eastern woods where it gets a little brighter in the rain. The hat replaces the umbrella because it is worn with a wide tongue hat. So the nil on my shoulder is not wet at all. Because I don't have to worry about the rain, or I slept cum.

"What's wrong?"

Such a nil suddenly opened my eyes. Quickly stop the walk that was only a little faster with the effect of [Windstep]. And look in the direction of that gaze.

"... is it an oak"

At the end of my gaze there was an integral oak. I'm under a tree to avoid rain. No, you must have been hiding. Because the HP bar that appears over that oak was red and dying.

You must have noticed that oak here, too. I'll look at this one with big eyes. I didn't run away. I won't move while sitting on the spot. The giant was shivering even in the cold, or in small pieces.

"... rest assured. You will not unilaterally kill a dying man who is unwilling to fight."

I was knocking down tons of oak just now though. Because I just don't condone enemies coming to my teeth.

Nevertheless, dying must have meant someone attacked you and ran away. There may still be someone somewhere trying to stab Todome for this oak.

Maybe I put this wound on it...... I don't know because I can't tell the oak from it. What shall we do now? I don't even feel like leaving you like this any more than I have found you. So...

"Oh, my God. My hands slipped and the potion fell."

I say that line with a grin. Oak was looking at this one as surprised.

"I can't help what I dropped. Shall we give up and return to the city, Nil?"

Yes, let's leave this place as we speak to Nil.... Nil, what is that look? Will you stop looking at this one with your raw warm eyes?

Rain goes up and the sky clears up. As I walked through the dazzling plains of the morning sun, I was on my way to the city of Die Road.

…………

[Windstep] has expired. I'm worried about calling you back. 'Cause if you do, I'm sure you'll follow me on a full walk.

"... why are you following me?

I look back and say. Whether out of the woods or running down the plains, it came with the orcs I helped earlier from behind.

"If you want to thank me, there's nothing else. Because the potion that my hand slipped and dropped just happened to be on you."

That's what I say and walk, but it still follows.

"I'm killing a lot of your people."

…………

"Oh, could it have been an enemy? Then I'll take it."

I look back and laugh. Then Oak shook his head violently to make a denial. I think I kind of scared you.

"So what do you mean? Thank you?

The oak nods slowly.

"That's a lie. Took me a while to snort. Doesn't sound like you want to thank me."

Oak shook his shoulders with a bickle. Is this orc a coward? It's not as powerful as the orcs did earlier.

Big eyes were wandering their gaze here and there so they wouldn't settle down.

When you try to look at each other, your gaze escapes from body to body. I followed my gaze and circled around the big oak.

"Hey, get away from that kid!

"Hmm...?

I was wondering what was going on and suddenly someone came in between Oak and me.

"Are you okay, you?"

He was a boy with a big two-handed sword. The boy is finally pointing a big sword at the oak like that to hold.

"You're safe now that I'm here."

"... ha"

Those words came up unexpectedly. No, wait a minute, please. Did you even think I was being attacked by an orc?

"I guess I even came to take this kid away. But bad luck, as long as you're chosen by this holy sword and I'm here, I won't let you!

Surely this great sword is not the same as the sword there. It can also be described as the sword of the brave, with transparent and radiant stones embedded in the pattern. It's low level from this boy's outfit. It's strange that he has such a sword.

The boy was slashed by an oak. The oak should be stronger. Yet I took a blow and was wounded.

"Fuck, don't run away!

Boy, you haven't been able to handle the sword yet, or you're wielding the sword in a mess. That seemed like a bad blow earlier. But the orcs are also moving dull. No, the oak is just running away with a round waist. You could be knocked down as you are.

"Stop. The oak..."

"Go on, I'll clean it up. You said to watch there."

The boy didn't stop smiling at me like he was cool....... I can't watch.

"... be!?

I chanted a newly mastered [dark magic] [shadow move]. It's magic that allows you to move to shadowy places within a radius of five meters. Don't you think it's an exceptionally good magic with romance about being able to move from shadow to shadow?

Use it to emerge from the shadow of the oak. This is the form I suddenly came out in front of the boy who tried to slash me. Boy rushes down his sword.

"I'm unlucky because... no, you're the one who's unlucky"

"Oh, hey -!?"

Bad luck, more of a mistake. The boy ate the [shadow arrow] I spoke of.

"Why..."

"Think for yourself why."

Because he's a round-handed opponent, and he doesn't fight back. And I don't listen to you.

So I tried to put some magic on it and stop it, but apparently the magic firepower was high. I overwhelmed my momentum and defeated Boy. It's morning now. Perhaps you should have chosen [Dark Bind] if you just wanted to stop.

The body of the boy who remained disappeared, wrapped in light. Damn, it shouldn't have looked like the oak was attacking me if I had looked closely.... maybe it looked like he was running around trying to get around the oak.

"There's been an extra intrusion, but let's get back to it.... What do you want to do? If you stay here, you'll be attacked like you just did. This is near the city, and there will be more people in time."

Again, listen as you throw the potion. I saw this one in the morning sunlit oak eyes. As always, you're afraid of me, your gaze escapes every time you look at me. But I saw this one more times than earlier.

"Aren't you going back to the woods?

I nod cocklessly.

"... don't you want to go back to the woods?

I nodded cockly again.

"So what do you do? If you don't want to go back to the woods, your place to go..."

Isn't it nowhere?

I don't know why you won't go back. But somehow I understand why you followed me. You didn't have a destination to go anywhere, so you must have followed me for helping.

What shall we do? The responsibility for helping me has also been done here. Even if you leave me here like this, someone will knock you down, like you just did. I didn't really care if that was the case when we broke up in the woods before I knew it......

"Ha... it's my loss"

My emotions must have shifted. I can't see this oak in the same line as the oaks that fed my experience until earlier.

Then what do we do? Helping this orc is like keeping company. There is also a hand in making it a usage demon, but there are two usage demons that can be contracted with Hate at this level. There are no boundaries because the one thing is Nil, and the other thing is there are kids who want to go ahead.

Yeah, speaking of which. There was something good.

"I helped you twice. Do you also want a third help?

When I asked the orc, I nodded at the words.

"Then will you be my squire? I was just looking for someone to take care of me."

That being said, I will take the [employee agreement] out of the inventory. I bought this before, but I didn't have someone to contract with, so it was an inventory fattening. Looks like the person this can contract with isn't exclusive to humans.

Open a contract. Looks like you can set up a variety of employment settings. Compensation, working hours, terms, etc. I'll leave it unpaid, unlimited working hours, etc. for now because I can seem to change it later. What a black.

Then the names of the two contractors.

"... what is your name? Tell me."

When I heard that, I shook my head. I nod when I ask if there isn't. Apparently, you don't have a name. But I can't get a contract without a name.

"Can I put it right here?"

I nod to affirm it again. Um, suddenly I had to decide on the name of this oak.

"Bye, Earl. Your name is Earl. Is that all right?

Now I kind of nod happily.... At first I thought he looked scary, but he looked surprisingly cute.

"Then Earl, from now on, let you work as my squire. We'll decide later on the details of employment."

The contract was concluded when the decision button was pressed. The contract wrapped in light broke up into two parts, one in my hands. The other is in Earl's hands.

The [employee agreement] seems to be reciprocal in their positions with each other. There is no coercive force and it is not established without the consent of the other party. If one of you wants to break the contract, it seems that if you break your contract, the contract will be terminated.

I'm sure this assumes if used between players. To make a unilateral, mandatory contract to keep you out of trouble.

"... I've helped you three times, so don't run away until I thank you very much."

Earl doesn't seem to get away with it, but let's give him the nail for once. Earl nodded again and again as he trembled victoriously.

... Speaking of which, the item was dropping around the boy's fall. It's kind of like the beautiful big sword that Boy had, but I'm sure it's your fault.
