Tonight at Mira’s place, I whipped up something called the “Snap Ball Trap” to take down some monsters tomorrow. I don’t think many adventurers are aware of it yet, but those Snap Balls that cast the Fear spell are really useful items. They’re especially good if you use them in a small room, a blind alley, or just any kind of narrow space. They throw monsters into a panic and make them unable to dish out any good counterattacks. If they’re a species that has low intelligence, there’s a chance they’ll even accidentally kill each other.
My Snap Ball Trap is a special and great one cooked up by yours truly. Well, all I did was put a conducting wire through some Snap Balls, so it’s a pretty simple thing. It’s a trap that has a mechanism that’ll explode if you channel some mana through the conducting wire. If I lay this out beforehand along the monsters’ path of retreat, it’ll throw them into a funny frenzy of chaos.
If I connect ten of those Snap Bombs together and set them all off at once, it’ll cause all the monsters on B2 to panic. Then, once they’ve lost their composure, it’ll be easy to clean them up with some mid-range attacks. There’s no reason for me not to use them, considering I can greatly lower my risks by spending just fifty rims. I’m aiming to make a killing on tomorrow’s monster hunt, so I made thirty of those traps tonight.
But why do you get so hungry when you work at night? Mira gave me some Sour Kelp when I pestered her for snacks. Hm... I think all of Dagashi-ya Yahagi’s products are tasty, but Sour Kelps are the only ones I’m not a fan of. Actually, I’ve disliked vinegary stuff ever since I was little.
Mira says such rude things without thinking sometimes, though! She told me that my boobs won’t get bigger if I’m picky. It’s not like mine are that small! It’s just that most normal girls’ would look that way compared to hers!
I plan to use my Snap Ball Traps to take down some Stone Bears tomorrow. Defeating just one of them drops a hefty 5,000 rims, and I want to make a total of at least 20,000. If I manage to earn that much, I’ll be able to go see the wysteries, no sweat.
Speaking of the wysteries, Mister Yusuke and Mister Minerva—two men—apparently went to Mount Garges together. Mister Minerva was fidgeting like he was really happy when they were telling us about it. Are those two dating each other after all? Mira put up a composed front, but it seemed she was actually bothered by it.
I think it’s all right for men to love each other, but then that makes me curious about Mister Minerva’s real face. He might be a real beauty under that mask... How old is Mister Minerva anyway? Based on his voice alone, he sounds like he’s middle-aged or even past that.
I can’t fully support them when I think about Mira, but Mister Yusuke is important to me, like a big brother. I want him to be happy.
