“Hmm...”
With the feast behind us, I found myself lounging around in my room, idly scrolling through my skill list to see if anything new had popped up since the update. All my past actions were logged, and there was a chance I’d already done something to unlock a newly added skill.
Yeah, they added a few things... Shipboard Combat branches into Navigator and Astrologist now.
As Spirits, our system had a few quirks, but we were pretty much working with the same skills as any other player. We used to joke about how we were playing divers and fishermen, but those job titles were starting to show up as proper skill names.
They were all high-tier skills, which made it a hard choice whether to take them or not.
And then there was...the skill called Pekkle Handler. I’d apparently gone above and beyond all the requirements to acquire it, but I decided to pretend it didn’t exist.
If I tell Shouko and the others about it, they’ll probably want me to take it ASAP for the sake of boosting the Pekkles. Especially Kanade—she’s the one person who can’t find out.
Her being my sister, her suggestions essentially became commands. No... I had a good track record of having most things work out in my favor, so maybe she wouldn’t bring it up. At least, not immediately.
She has a strangely sharp insight into these things, so ironically, she might be one of the safer options, I thought as I pondered over what skills I’d take.
If possible, I wanted to elevate my fishing-related skills even further.
Although I’d managed to surpass the cap on Fishing Mastery, I’d fall behind if I didn’t acquire even higher-tiered skills to level up.
And so, struck with decision paralysis, I ended up scrolling through the endless list of acquirable skills until...my eyes shifted to a certain skill shining more brightly than the rest. It seemed to be demanding my attention.
