Blade Online Chapter 22

Rin already came back when I returned to the Inn. She seems to be cooking in the kitchen now. I’m looking forward to it. Since it would take a bit of time, I decided to have a talk to Ryuu.

「Hey, Do you know other Long Sword user players?」

As I speak so, Ryuu answered with a troubled like face.

「Yes, I think there isn’t at least among the Lead Group. And I don’t see people who uses Long Sword in the area recently. Until half a year when the management says such thing, I’m sure that Long Sword hide somewhere in secrecy, though I saw several people who used it……」

Certainly the way the management say it is strange. Though there might some people who would believe on what they said in the chaotic situation, they would generally think that there is something if they calm themselves. I don’t know even if I have some special power since I’ve never seen the situation of other Lead Group. Well, its time consuming to change the weapon, I planned to move as it is with the Long Sword since its trouble some to make the proficiency level to 0. It isn’t that much terrible weapon as they said. Though I’ll unhesitatingly change it if I manage to get a rare weapon.
Rare weapon is as its word says, a rare weapon(1). It seems that you can rarely get it if you raised your proficiency level . I don’t know what to have, but the proficiency level seems to be remain.

「Do you know players who uses such thing as rare weapon?」

I asked because of being curious.

「A rare weapon. uhmm, If its a famous one, 《Meteor》-san uses a rare one hand weapon ” b.a.s.t.a.r.d Sword”. Though I’m not that much familiar who have it or something, It is said that there is such thing as ” Saber” and “Spear”. These’s two rare weapon are among the popular and I think these two will appear when checking the bulletin board」

Hmm. Is the one hand sword rare weapon is “b.a.s.t.a.r.d Sword”? What is that sword. I would know it if its “Saber” or “Spear”, but I’ve never heard of “b.a.s.t.a.r.d Sword”. The nuance feels like Mustard Sauce(2), but what weapon is it? I’d like to see it imminently by all means I guess there is also a rare weapon for Long Sword, but the people who uses it are few. Well, If there are few people who use it, then the Long Sword itself is similar to a rare weapon.

「I liked to asked one thing, is it okay?」

Ryuu said which seems like suppressing his excitement. hnn? No problem.

「Does Akatsuki-san have Rare Skill? You flew higher than the Quadruple jump and disappeared, because you used a skill that I’ve never seen before…… 」

Ah, so it was seen after all. Because it is not a thing to be used thoughtlessly in public since other players will persistently want the information about it if they found out that I possessed a Rare skill. Well, this guy probably will not spread it.

「Yeah, I possessed it. Two of it」
「I-is that true!? Uwahaha!! Moreover, two, amazing!」

I already don’t know what is the character of Ryuu. “Uwahahaha”, you.

「What are the Rare skill that exist? Please tell me if possible」
「Let me see, if I remember right, I think that 《Meteor》-san possessed the skills called 【Phantom】 and 【Light Heal】. After that are 《Perfect Wall》-san’s 【Revenge】 and 《Epicenter》-san’s 【Earth shaker】 are the skill that they should have learned. Besides, 《Storm Emperor》-san should have also possessed it but I forgot it. I’m sorry」

There are 2 who have rare skill even in a famous top guild. Isn’t it I might be quite lucky.

「The next is. There is a rare skill 【Self-Healing】 or something which is relatively easy to learn. It seems that you can learn 【Self-Healing】 by not using healing potion too much and sleeping to heal」

Is that so. Its important to collect information as I expected. I’ll completely peek various bulletin board before going to sleep this night. When I put on recruiting party in bulletin board, someone response similar to being in a mood, but I wonder happened to it. Its not like I dislike it.

「……When you defeat Gigant Golem, you used an overlay type skill, right?」

Saying overlay type does that mean that there are other overlay skill?.

「That is right」
「It would change color and power by using overlay type skill. Such thing as Green or Red, its different each person. So, though the overlay generally does not have that much strong power, there is only one player who uses overlay skill with terrifying skill. that person’s color is silver. Isn’t Akatsuki-san color is also silver?」
「Ah……It was surely silver. Who’s that player?」
「Its 《Meteor》-san. That alias is because it’s appearance was like a “shooting star” when Meteor-san used overlay in the event. According to the bulletin board, it is said that its rarely to have person who uses the same color of overlay, but……」

So it was the same as 《Meteor》. Just who the h.e.l.l is that person who is called 《Meteor》.

「What is the reason of having different color and power?」
「Umm, such thing as level or weapon are unrelated, to be exact, it seems not yet known. I have a feeling that there was a player that told that it was fixed by “Luck”」

Luck huh……. Come to think of it, I should have a t.i.tle as [Good Luck], but I wonder if its related.

「Ryuu, Akatsuki-san, Its finishedー」
「Shall we go?」
「Ahh」

Rin entered inside opening the door. It seems that its possible to eat the meal in the previous dining room. I and Ryuu stopped chatting and goes to the dining room. As I approach, an appetizing-like smell wafts. My stomach quickly raise a clamor.

「Ooohh! Uwahahaー!!」

As I look at the meal displayed in the table, I unintentionally raised a strange voice. But it can’t be helped. Served on an overflowing rice bowl while producing a glisten like s.h.i.+ne steam. Although I’ll be happy with just this, next to it is a miso soup that also produce the same steam. Furthermore, a grilled fish with pickled vegetables, rolled omelet and likes, certainly a menu that I like.

「Errr, I can only make only this though……」

Rin uneasily looked at me.

「No no no no! This is the best! Thank you!」

I sit on the displayed chair, I decided to eat with everyone immediately. Putting the hands together with everyone, 「Itadakimasu」. It’s a menu which looks like a breakfast even though its dinner, but I don’t mind it. If it’s this menu, its welcome on any occasion.
Let’s eat the white rice first after all. A big mouthful while smelling the good freshly cooked smell. I savor the taste while chewing 〈hafu hafu〉 because of the heat(3). freshly cooked soft and flaky feeling, a superb rice that is not hard and not too soft, a rice which ooze whenever I savor it. It is indeed surprising that such delicious rice is eaten in a virtual s.p.a.ce. Next is miso soup. cooling by blowing it in order not to get burnt, I tried to drink the broth. Oh……This is splendid. Though I like somewhat little strong miso soup, certainly this is just right strong flavor. Not a strong flavor that its salty or perhaps I should say that its to an extent where the taste of the miso understand well. The ingredients on it are also good. sprout potato, fried tofu. If I demand one thing, I wanted eggplant to be included in it. The eggplant that is included in grandmother’s miso soup is tender and delicious. Well, its plenty delicious even without it. After that is picked vegetables, I picked up the picked radish. The beautiful yellow appearance is s.h.i.+ning and yet its quite thick. The feeling of heavy weight is transmitted through the chopsticks. A strong taste with a delightful sound of crunch came out when biting. After that is grilled fish. As for the fried condition, skin is a little brown. Grandmother’s grilled fish is sometimes pitch black. I think that this grilled fish is quite good. Breaking the body into small pieces with chopsticks, taking out the meat by splitting the skin. The white meat s.h.i.+nes, the sacredness is even felt by me. When I take a bit in my mouth, “Hoou”, an admiration leaked out from my mouth. It’s a good food texture with fat. It’s not dry. The convenience store lunch box or grandmother’s burned grilled fished have dried and less body fat is not a thing to be eaten, but this grilled fish is G.o.dly. The water inside my mouth is dried out whenever I eat grilled fish, Hiss hiss! Hiss hiss! Inside my mouth is hiss hiss! Hiss hiss, why did you give me this! Is what I want to scream but there is no such thing for this(4). A moderate salty taste. I don’t want to stop eating rice. I don’t know what fish it is. Its a shape I’ve never seen before. The taste is also different from the fish I’ve eaten before.

「It’s called spear fish. It seems to be called spear fish because of attacking its enemy with its spear-like head」

Rin informed me when I stares at the fish. I see, so it is called Spear fish. This fish is probably only in this world since I’ve never heard of it in real life. Even though its not in real life, how do they determine its taste. Umu……Interesting. Spear Fish, I’ll remember it.
And then the fried egg. I really like it sweet and also salty. As for this fried egg……Its sweet. But moderate sweetness, is the taste. Because it would not match together with a rice if its too sweet, I like this flavor. The shape is in order and not burnt. And the body is very soft. Its really good to be made with such softness with this square shape. Fill the mouth with fried egg and a mouthful of rice. After that, sipping the miso soup, I chew pickled radish, eats a grilled fish and then, a mouthful of rice. A proper meal after around one year is extraordinary and delicious, I’m instinctively not saying anything and silently eating. After a while, I noticed Rin looking at my eating appearance with an anxious face. Ryuu is eating deliciously next to her. Hey, the way you take out meat from the grilled fish is unskillful. Isn’t it scattered. Moreover, you’re spilling miso soup, be diligent, Onii-chan.

「Uhmm, how is it?」

Rin timidly asked my impression. How is it well, isn’t that decided that this is unbelievably delicious, young lady. This bad, somehow, the tension is becoming strange. Even though character is already not stable recently, its becoming even stranger.

「Its unbelievably delicious. I want to eat this everyday」

Rin gladly smiles when I convey my frank impression, after that, she suddenly raised her face at look at me. Her face slightly become red. Did she became that happy by praising? Though the ” I want to eat this everyday” feels like a proposal, no one is probably interpreting like that nowadays.
Rin looked downwards, she’s started to murmur something. What is it. I already don’t know what character Rin is. Ryuu would say ” Uwawawa” or the likes when in high spirits, everyone’s character is becoming off.
Ryuu is pleasantly looking at my and Rin’s situation. What are you smiling for.

「Uhmm, Akatsuki-san……」

Rin raised her face and started to talk slowly. Hnn?

「If its possible, will you accept to eat my meal everyday? 」

Wai……What is this situation. Bad. this is seriously bad, hey.
