Ultimate Porter ~The Weakest Man Aspires to be an Adventurer~ Chapter 3

Patty and I was setting up the camp. It seems that the closest city here called Nepia is still 20km away. There is a small village here but it doesn’t have any inn so we decided to camp near the river-side. Patty glared this way, then said.

I only have a Defense of only 5 while Patty have an Attack of 104.

Patty provided the ingredients for tonight as thanks for the recovery magic. I prepared a yellow flowered root herb called Yotaimo that I gathered along the way. The Yotaimo has a taste that falls between the taste of a potato and a sweet potato. The cooking was prepared by me who had the greatest skill. Beans and jerky, and Yotaimo soup. Even if I somehow manage with the cooking ingredients, I have no salt at hand. Good thing Patty have some salt, that really saved me.

Definitely, my defense is surely low. However, that’s just the base of my current status was the fact.

Patty looks at me as if she lost interest.

If I can be honest, I’m totally broke.

While being told that, I wasn’t able to talk back. But from what Patty just said, it’s an argument in the bounds of Patty’s common sense. For example, there are weapons with enough power to kill that requires no proper training. And that kind of weapons are the crossbow and types of firearms.

There are some anxiety because crossbows doesn’t have a rapid fire characteristics, this problem is sure to be solved by making firearms. However, the problems about defense still remains. I’ll be surely be killed if I don’t take the the first move. Even so, I won’t survive if my opponent can’t be taken down with one bullet or if they can evade the bullet.

―Will you sign it?―

Should I put my sign or not. I was troubled for a while but I chose the [No] option. I don’t want to live as a blacksmith. I want to be an adventurer. Therefore I don’t need to sell my name other than being an adventurer. It would be a problem if a request for a unskillful sword production comes. I have a characteristic of not being able to refuse when asked, as I’m weak to being pressured.

Total length is 120 cm. Blade length is 95 cm. The ice-like blade s.h.i.+nes in response to the moonlight. I may be praising my own self but it was such an excellent blade.

[Does Patty know the skill Slash Wave?]

[Un, It’s a low tier finisher similar to Wind Cutter that can make any one fly away]

[Perhaps, if you practice with that sword you can use it]

[Hou~, so it’s a weapon with a skill. As if Ippei can create anything]

[Well~]

[But it’s really sad that you’re this weak~]

[Please don’t say it…]

[Hey Patty, please teach me]

[Ok. Patty-sensei will teach you anything. Ah, but ecchi stuff is forbidden]

[Can you tell me the minimum requirement to become an adventurer?]

[For us adventurer, status value is nothing. But there is a minimum line]

[This is my guild card. I think that you already know, but on the backside are my Attack and Defense that are converted to numerical value and are written there. I cannot tell anything more of the details]

[Did you know that a status review is necessary in order to be register as an adventurer? And the minimum value required to be registered is to be 30 or higher on everything]

[In other words…]

[That’s right. With Ippei’s status, you cannot be registered as an adventurer]

[I’m telling this for your own good. You better just give up. Even if you become an adventurer, you’ll just die out there]

[Patty…, I’ll give this sword to you]

[Eh? Really?!]

[However, I have a request. I require a silver cliff gra.s.s]

[What kind of thing is it? …mou, Wipe those tears, you’re already a grown-up man… Hora, I’ll listen so tell it to Patty-sensei]

[Patty-sensei!! I want to become an adventurer…]

[Un. I understand your feeling]

[That’s why, I’ll make a potion that will raise my status]
