Chapter 54: God’s Whim

“Apparently, there’s something we need to talk about that belt. Can you please come to the meeting room?”

“Understood. …Did something awful happen? Before, that belt was said to not have any effect, though…”

Towards Amanda-san who lowered her voice, Ar-niisama shrugged and said, “It’s not something bad, though.”

“It’s just that we can’t talk about it in a place with many people…”

“Understood. We’ve finished eating too, so let’s go.”

After separating from Ar-niisama who was busy with other errands to do, Amanda-san and I headed towards a slightly spacious room called as the meeting room. Located next to Leon-san’s office, an antique round table was put in the middle of the room to make it easier to hold meetings.

Georg-san was already waiting here, and my paw belt was put on top of the table.

“Sorry for suddenly asking you to come.”

“It’s alright. I always want to see you.”

“Amanda…”

Looking at Georg-san who furrowed his eyebrows as if he was troubled, Amanda-san lightly sighed.

“It’s okay. I understand that you’re not interested, Georg. But I’ll make that change someday!”

“…You never change, huh.”

Uhm…

I wonder if the two of them still remember that I’m here…?

The ambience is strangely good. Am I not like a third wheel here?

…Are they really not a pair of lovers?

“Anyway, I heard from Argo that we were called here because of the belt. Did something happen?”

“Yeah. I was troubled over what to install in this belt, since physical and magical protection could be covered with Yuuri-chan’s magic, so something other than them should be alright. If you’re a magician, I thought that [agile] effect would be good, but…”

Ho~. So Georg-san and Amanda-san spoke to each other like this. It felt a little bit blunt, but it might be because they were being real.

“[Agile] is good, right? Is there a problem?”

Speaking of which, there’s no Enchanter like Georg-san in Elysia Online. But there’s such thing as special effects applied to an equipment.

For example, the [Dark Armor] dropped by a rare monster called as [Dark Lord]. It has an effect of increasing one’s physical power in exchange to becoming more invulnerable to fire attacks.

Another example is the [Lightning Sword] made by people who selected blacksmith as their secondary job, it would be strong against monsters like zombies.

In case of [agile] effect, if I remember correctly, there was an equipment called as [Gale Ring] that one could equip starting from level 50. It was a rare item that was dropped from a monster called as Boss Swallow that appeared after defeating monsters called as Gang Swallow that usually appeared in a group of two to three monsters.

However, Boss Swallow didn’t come out often and furthermore it was a rare drop that could increase the speed as well as the attack that one could do, so we went back and forth to the hunting ground where Boss Swallow appeared to get it.

“Although it was supposed to be the agile effect, another effect was installed instead.”

“—Could it be the [God’s Whim]?!”

“Yeah.”

“Isn’t it awesome, Georg?!”

God’s Whim? What is that?

As I tilted my head, Amanda-san told me in excitement.

“[God’s Whim] is when you put an item inside a magic circle that’s been endowed with magic, it will shine at the end and grant you a special effect.”

“Special effect?”

“Yes. Effects such as being able to ward off weak monsters or making it easier to get good items in a dungeon.”

Something like that might have existed in Elysia Online. Very rarely, manufactured equipment would have the effect of [Monster Repellent] or [Rare drop item rate 1.2].

Players would put such equipment on display in the [Mall] as they were selling their own creations. The equipment with rare-dropping effects, except for the [Monster Repellent] ones, would usually be sold at an outrageously high price.

Could it be that this Paw Belt’s got a rare-dropping effect installed in it?!

“And what effect did it get?”

Amanda-san and I excitedly waited for Georg-san’s answer.

C-could it be that it managed to get the effect of a rare-drop equipment that was too expensive to buy in the game, that I yearned for?!

“It’s [Fortune].”

Hmm? Fortune?

“Isn’t it amazing?!”

Hmm… It’s amazing?

“Yeah. I had only worn it once, so I was surprised.”

“What kind of effect does [Fortune] have?”

I tried asking as I thought that it might increase the rate of rare drop.

Hmm. Dreamy rare drop-san…

Will you just become a dream of mine~?

Sobs sobs.

“In short, it will make you have good luck.”

…That doesn’t explain anything. Can you please be more specific?!

“The one keeping that equipment has always been Georg from earlier, right?”

“No. I happened to get something that Leader asked me to wear, so I handed it over.”

“Then, we can’t tell if Leader’s fortune has become better or not, can we? In the first place, Leader has a very good luck. He is undeniably the hero.”

Certainly, heroes do have an amazing fate. That’s why, even if something good were to happen, we can’t tell if it’s the effect of the equipment or not.

“That’s right, but Leader said that there was an effect, so most likely something had happened. At any rate, be it [Fortune] or [Physical Protection], since it helped Leader, as an Enchanter, it’s something I’m most delighted in.”

“Good grief. If you have that much of a skill, then try and boast it more! Then, I want you to be delighted in something else.”

“Like a date with Amanda-san?”

When I unconsciously interjected, Amanda-san nodeed and said, “Yes, yes!”, and then she turned to look at me.

“Yuuri-chan, what did you say?!”

Georg-san had a very gentle gaze as he looked at Amanda-san who already turned bright red.
