Chapter 13:
(Ehh??? Seriously??? You are joking right??? The Voyaging island, you mean the moving island that goes anywhere around the world!? That island with a lot of very strong monster!? Is that why you are so strong!? That's amazing!!!) Mika
I knew it!!!!! It is a weird is island!!! I don't know how to answer mika, i have no idea what that island is at all! Moving island? Island with a lot of monster? Wait... could it be... god told me to use that island's name, so that i can explain why i am strong? Or maybe because the map of the in Gaia fantasy online is similar to that?
There is a rumor about that game, it says that the reason why there are strong monsters is because the map is a very big island that moves around the world where there are a lot of magical power, as a result, the island doesn't run out of magical power, and the strong monsters keeps respawning no matter how you kill them.
(Well, something like that.) Me
(Kaito-san, that's amazing! Then? Where is it now? Can you bring me there? Can you show it to me? Please show it to me!) Mika
Mika-san's eyes are sparkling. But sadly mika-san, i can't show you there, i don't even know where that place is. This is bad, I need to come up with an answer.
(Etto, sorry, mika-san i don't know where is it now. Yes, that's right, when i woke up, i saw this island from afar, so i go here and looked at it. But when i go back to return to the island, it's not there anymore. Yes, that's right, the island has already moved.) Me
(Eh? Is that so? Too bad.) Mika
The sparkles on mika-san's eyes vanished. Sorry mika-san.
*Sigh*
I sigh in relief, i made it somehow. Now, i have the perfect answer if someone would ask me that, but i really don't plan on answering anyone or telling them where i come from though. I want to keep it a secret as much as possible, or at least until i see that island myself. I don't want to lie, it's very embarrassing if i will be caught red-handed.
Mika-san also ask me about my birth date, but i don't know how many months or days this world have, so i asked her and used the island as an excuse, i told her that i want to make sure if the months and days in here is similar to the island.
It turns out that this world have 12 months, but it has 35 days. That means, if every month has 30 days, then there would be 14 months per year.
After a while, we finished the registration and mika-san told me to put my hand on the tablet. When i touch it, a small amount of my magic power was getting absorbed by the tablet, then a thin glass like thing appears on top of it. when i look at the card, my name, age, address, and rank is written in there.
It also has the crest of the kingdom on top of it, it is a dragon sleeping. And at the bottom are two crest, it is the crest of the Duke, and the crest of the Town Lord.
But my rank is...
(Mika-san, why it is a rank D? G is the starter rank, right?) Me
(Yes, that's right. But the town lord know that you are strong, so he told me to raise your rank on my own judgement. Honestly, i can make it rank C or even B, but the other adventurers would get jealous, and they will keep complaining if i raise your rank higher before you even accept quests.) Mika
I see, so that's how it is, huh. Well, that's useful, so i'm thankful to her. It is troublesome if my rank will be G, i can't accept any subjugation request, and the only thing i can do is to collect some herbs. Ofcourse i can accept rank F request even if i am rank G, but rank F requests is still collecting herbs, and the difference is just the amount you need to to collect.
(Here is your guild card, don't lose it okay? It is troublesome to get another one if you lost it.) Mika
I received the card, and it became black.
(Mika-san, why did it turn black?) Me
(To make sure that the card you are holding is really yours or not. If other people will hold it, it would become transparent like a glass. And if the owner touches it, the color will change. The color would also depend on your status. Black for commoners, Silver for nobles, Silver with gold letters for high ranking nobles like the Duke, and then Gold for the Royal family.) Mika
(I see.)
So that's why the guards and the duke has different card colors yesterday.
(Anyway, with this, the registration is finished.) Mika
(Thankyou very much, Mika-san.) Me
I stand up from my seat and said my goodbye to mika-san. When i return to the ground floor, i saw the big man from earlier, mika san told me earlier that his name is boran, and the receptionist was Stella.
When boran saw me, he looks away immediately. I wonder if he will still keep bullying other adventurers. I hope he learns his lesson.
I want to ask a blacksmith to make a leash and seat for my horse, so i will go to the blacksmith, but before that, i looked at quest board to see if there's any interesting quests.
Etto~, wolf... boars... apes... magical chickens... Magical chicken? What's that? Etto~ "10 magical chickens worth of pen feather ". Huh? What's that?
(Anno~, kaito-san, is something wrong?) Stella
Stella is returning to her desk but she asks me when she saw me pondering about something.
(Stella-san, what is this quest "10 magical chicken worth of pen feather"?) Me
(Eh? Kaito-san, you don't know what's that? That is a magic beast that can be seen only in the forest, their tail feathers are used as a pen.) Stella
(I see.) Me
So it's the feather pen that arnold-san used yesterday. I'm wondering how that works, but it turns out that it is from a magic beast.
Etto~, slimes... goblins... golems...
I found some interesting request, but i need to take care of the leash and seat of my horse so i decided to go back tomorrow. In then go outside to search for a blacksmith shop. While i am walking, i heard some noise of an iron being hammered.
When i go to where the noise comes from, an intense heat greeted me, there are so many irons around, and a short old man with a big muscle is hitting an iron with his hammer. It's a dwarf blacksmith.
I entered and looked around, there are so many swords, and it is so well made, everything is very sharp.
(Anno~, jii-san!) Me
The blacksmith stopped hitting the iron and then he looked at me. After he saw me, he continue hitting the iron while answering me.
(Welcome, do you need something?) Blacksmith
(Yes, there's something i'd like you to make.) Me
(What is it?) Blacksmith
(It's a leash and seat for a horse.) Me
The blacksmith stopped hitting the iron and laughed loudly, then he continues hitting the iron.
(Son, if you need to make a house, ask a carpenter, not a fisherman. If you need a leash and a seat for your horse, go ask a horstler.) Blacksmith
Well, i can't blame him, i need a leash and seat after all, not a sword.
(I know, but can you please take a look first? You know i won't ask you if it's something a hostler could do, right?) Me
(Well, you have a point, but i am busy, so you better not be joking. Wait there for a bit, i need to take care of it first.) Blacksmith
(Yeah) me
I looked around while waiting, and checked the swords lining up. It is really well made. I want to forge my own sword so that i can make sure of the quality, but i wonder if i should let this old man forge a sword for me instead.
After a while, the old man stopped hitting the iron and he put's it inside the furnace. He stand up and approached me.
(So, you said you need to show me something. What is it?) Blacksmith
(Yeah, i need a leash and seat for my horse, but the problem is it is not an ordinary horse, can we go outside? I'd like to show my horse to you.)
(Okay, let's go outside.) Blacksmith
We go outside and i looked around, there are many people. I would really prefer if there's no one around, but it can't be helped. No matter what blacksmith i go, there will always be people around.
I point my arm in front of me, i pour magic power to my left ring, and called my horse.
(Kuroma!) Me
Ne~igh!
Kuroma appeared in front of me and cried happily, i didn't summon him since morning, so he must be lonely. The people around us looks at kuroma, they all have different reaction, some are amazed, some are surprised, and some are wondering why my horse has a wings.
(Wha!? What is this!?) Blacksmith
(Jiisan, you didn't know?) Me
(A horse with a Pure black body, red hair and tail, a horn, and a big wings! C-could it be...) Blacksmith
(Yeah, an Attack Pegasus.) Me
(Impossible! I can't believe it, i thought it is only a mythical horse from books! Is this the horse that you are saying!? Do you want me to make a leash and seat for it!?) Blacksmith
(Yes, could it be that you can't do it?) Me
(Huh!? What are you saying!? Ofcourse i can. Kid, let me do it, i won't ask you to pay me, just let me do it!) Blacksmith
Eh?? Free??
(Calm down, jiisan. Okay... Okay... i will let you do it, but it would be embarrassing to ask you to do it for free, so i'll pay.) Me
(No, it's okay if you don't pay. Don't you know that it is a very great honor to make a leash and seat for this horse? So i will do it for free.) Blacksmith
Certainly, it would be a grest honor for blacksmiths to make something for a very strong user. The stronger the user, the stronger the equipment, and dwarves are known as people who didn't care about money, they only care about their works.
(Hmm, okay, but atleast tell me if there's something you want.) Me
(Then, let me put my name on the leash and seat.) Blacksmith
As expected from a dwarf blacksmith.
(Okay. Then, what kind of material i should use for this?) Me
Kuroma is very strong so normal leather won't work. It's like using a paper as a water bottle.
(Wait a minute, i will write the materials you need to collect.) Blacksmith
The blacksmith goes inside, i just noticed it now, but more and more people are gathering to look at kuroma. I feel bad for them, but this is so uncomfrotable, so i told kuroma to return inside my ring.
After a while, the blacksmith return and he gave me a paper with materials listed in it.
Etto~, Dragon Skin, Giant spi... Wait, dragon skin?
