**Episode 025: Synergistic Effect of Great Luck x Good Fortune**
“Massive, massive!”
“Seriously, it’s an incredible amount.”
“With this much, we can choose whatever we want.”
In front of us, the spoils were neatly organized and lined up. The results this time were 60 wooden boxes, 30 iron boxes, 10 silver boxes, 5 gold boxes, and 2 rainbow boxes. Despite being significantly fewer than the number of Shadows I defeated alone, the quantity was overwhelming.
It’s clear how incredible Enjyu’s skill’s effects are.
The wooden boxes mostly contained coins and materials of unknown usability, along with potions. Occasionally, there were plants like herbs and antidotes.
The iron boxes contained beginner-level weapons, armor, and items called strengthening stones.
From the silver boxes came:
– Shadow Knife: A knife made from Shadow bones
– Shadow Blade: A sword made from Shadow bones
– Shadow Shoes: Shoes made from Shadow skin
– Shadow Greave: Shin guards made from Shadow bones
– Shadow Rod: A staff made from Shadow bones
– Paralysis Necklace: Reduces the chance of paralysis
– Darkness Necklace: Reduces the chance of darkness
– Wind Spirit Bracelet: Slightly increases wind attribute attack power
– Fire Spirit Bracelet: Slightly increases fire attribute attack power
– Agility Ring: Slightly increases agility
These were the ten items.
The weapons and armor seem suitable for Shuji and Satoshi, who are wearing beginner equipment. It might be a good idea for both of them to wear the necklaces. Regarding the bracelets that enhance elemental attacks, I might equip them after verifying their magical effects.
The Agility Ring is perfect for Satoshi, who boasts agility.
As for the gold boxes:
– Gray Aura Suit: A gray bodysuit that, despite its appearance, boasts superior defense to armor. Fits the body without hindering movement. For men.
– Subservient Demon’s Proof: Increases intimacy with a subservient demon. Also boosts abilities by 20%.
– Skill Book (Water Magic Level 1): Allows learning of level 1 water magic.
– Advanced Strengthening Stone: Used for weapon enhancement. Higher success rate than regular strengthening stones.
– Steel Armor: Armor made of steel.
The standout item is undoubtedly the Gray Aura Suit. This is an upgrade from the Shadow Suit. I’ve acquired a bodysuit unexpectedly. Perhaps it’s a reward for faithfully worshiping “Shadow Girls” every day.
Since it’s for men, I’ll be the one to wear it. Time for me to power up.
“Who’s rubbing his cheek against the bodysuit that no one’s wearing again?”
“Isn’t that the usual?”
I can’t hear what the two are saying behind me.
The Subservient Demon’s Proof is perfect for Enjyu. And a Skill Book that can allow anyone to learn a skill is an item everyone would desire. It might be good for either Satoshi or Shuji to learn water magic, relieving us of water-related concerns. It’s an item everyone would want if possible.
The Advanced Strengthening Stone, as the name suggests, appears to be an item used for my crafter’s strengthening skill. It’s an upgraded version of the commonly obtained strengthening stones from iron boxes, with a higher success rate. As I haven’t tested it yet, its effectiveness will become apparent when used.
Shuji will probably wear the Steel Armor. It looks the most fitting.
Now, the last rainbow boxes.
Upon opening them, both turned out to be bags.
However, upon appraisal, the results were as expected and more.
“It seems to be a bag with a capacity of about a 24-tatami room and another with a capacity of about a 12-tatami room that I originally had.”
“For real!?”
“Wow. I thought it would be a long time before we could get something like this, but I never expected to obtain it so easily.”
When I relayed the appraisal results, Shuji showed a look of astonishment, and Satoshi looked at me in disbelief at the excessively good luck.
“Even I never thought I’d get so many Magic Bags in just two days…”
Even if he says that, there’s nothing I can do, so I just shrugged my shoulders in amazement.
“What are you going to do with it?”
“What do you mean?”
“I mean that Magic Bag.”
Shuji is concerned about the fate of the Magic Bag. Seeing his restless expression, it seems he wants one too. It’s fine since that was my plan from the beginning.
“Oh, I see. Is that what you’re talking about? I’ll receive the Magic Bag that can hold a 24-tatami room’s worth and give the other two to Satoshi and Shuji, is that okay?”
However, the best option is for me to take it. With our luck and drops, I should have the right to something like that.
“I’m fine with that, of course.”
“I’m okay with that too. A 12-tatami room’s worth is enough for me.”
“Got it. Well then, wait a moment.”
Since both of them agreed, I swapped the contents and handed the Magic Bags to the two of them.
“It’s really helpful to be able to carry the necessary things without worrying about weight.”
“That’s right. Just having this significantly increases our survival rate, and it’s so convenient.”
The two of them immediately felt the difference, realizing how much lighter it was to carry things in the Magic Bag compared to the school bags and backpacks they had been using.
“Nii~”
Despite talking to them, a creature snuggles up to my face.
“I see. You want the Subservient Demon’s Proof attached, right?”
“Nii!!”
It was Enjyu.
