Lets Accept the Quest!
As they continued to hunt until the end of the week, Haruki observed a number of changes.
The first thing was that he was now able to steadily hunt 300 Silver Wolves a day.
Even if he wasnt treating it like a time attack, he could get to 300. If he tried really hard, he could reach 350.
Thats how much Harukis base level had risen.
However, even if he forced himself to hunt more, it just meant there were more monsters that he couldnt carve up.
It seemed like it would be more efficient to kill 1 strong monster than 3 Silver Wolves, even if it meant a little less experience.
Maybe it was time for him to descend.
The other thing was that Haruki and Karens skills were finally starting to rise naturally.

Harukis stamina, strength, dexterity, one-handed sword, and light armor had all gained 1 point.
Karens stamina and magic manipulation went up by 1 point.
As Haruki was the advance guard, they had both gained in the appropriate categories. Though, he still felt the light armor had been a little slow.
As for Karens skills, ignoring the stamina, the reason that magic manipulation had gone up instead of magic power, was because she continued to avoid friendly fire while dealing with the high speed of the wolves.
While Karen was doing the main attacks, more of Harukis skills had gone up.
Karen should have been gaining more experience, considering the amount of damage she was dealing to the monsters, and so this was very strange.
Perhaps the Growth Acceleration also affected the growth of the skills.
Another thing that changed, was that Rhea had completely recovered her health.
All of her leaves, from the bottom to the top were now very lively.
Even the flower on her head seemed to be more vibrant in color now.
Was it because of the monster meat compost? Or was it the magic stone?
As for the magic stones, would the effect continue to grow stronger if he continued to bury them inside of the soil?
Considering the boss was able to shoot 100 potatoes, it seemed very possible.
That being said, this method of attack meant the unleashing of treasures.
It was quite tragic that the more they attacked, the weaker they got.
One thing that didnt change at all, was Akane.
She didnt seem well at all.
He visited the store after every hunt, but even today, she was not herself.
She would look at him with a serious expression and then sigh.
Here are the materials I want you to buy.
Very well. Put them on the counter.
Got it.
That was all they seemed to say to each other now.
It was very boring.
Thats 187,500 yen. Oh, thats right. The carving knife that you ordered has arrived.
Thats really fast.
Yes. It was a special order, after all. The whetstones also arrived. Should I do it for you?
Please.
The carving knife was made from the fang of a Silver Wolf.
While it was just for carving, it had the Ichibishi entry model logo on it.
The price was 100,000 yen.
As for the sharpness, it was about the same as the Silver Wolf knife he was currently using.
Of course, they had different purposes, and this was not for fighting.
Akane was now sharpening his knife with the whetstone. Haruki couldnt quite tell if she was even looking at her hands as she worked.
Was she not concentrating? Or maybe she couldnt?
But she was still doing the job.
When he put his finger on the blade, he easily sliced off a thin layer of skin. It felt brand new.
How much do I owe you?
Hey!
As Akane was so slow to react, Haruki lost his patience and shouted.
What the hell is going on? Youve been acting strangely, you know? What happened to all that energy you once had?
Im not like that all the time.
I understand that, but youve been like this for long enough. Its driving me crazy.
Thats not my problem. Still, maybe youre right. But if it bothers you so much, maybe you can listen to me.
The way Akane talked made it sound like she didnt have any hope.
What could possibly be bothering her so much?
The first thing he thought of was the store.
Perhaps Haruki was selling her too many materials and the store couldnt handle it.
That would be no good for him as well.
If this store had to close, then he would have to travel all the way to Sapporo in order to sell materials and buy weapons and armor.
