Danmachi : Start With Terraria Calamity Mod! Chapter 75 75 : Monsterphilia and Drake’s New Business

"Strange. Even if it's Ais, Riveria shouldn't need to avoid her so badly…"

After seeing Riveria off through the back door, Drake finally walked toward the front entrance.

"Could it be because she just finished breastfeeding , so she feels embarrassed to et soone from the sa Familia?"

"I didn't expect Riveria to have such a girlish side."

Although Drake's conclusion was completely wrong, his reasoning process was not entirely without basis.

Riveria naturally knew about Ais's feelings toward Drake.

But she herself happened to have this embarrassing transaction with him.

In order to prevent the observant Sword Princess from noticing anything unusual, she could only temporarily avoid her.

"Long ti no see."

Seeing the blonde girl appear in front of him after so long, Drake felt his eyes brighten.

Ais's beauty was refreshing no matter when he saw her.

"Mm."

Ais nodded slightly and glanced at the already darkened shop.

"Are you… already closed?"

"Normal business hours are over."

Drake casually lit the lamps.

"Now, it is special business hours open only for Miss Ais."

These chandeliers and lamp posts were actually Terraria furniture, capable of providing light without requiring energy.

To people of this world, they should be considered so kind of magic-stone device.

Hearing Drake's words, a faint smile appeared on Ais's pretty face.

At the sa ti, her heart also relaxed.

It seed Riveria had been right. Drake had not been trying to avoid her; he simply had other matters to handle.

Although Riveria, the person who had said that, had just been avoiding her.

"There is not much rest ti left."

The two chatted while strolling around the shop.

"After Monsterphilia ends, the Familia will launch a new expedition."

"An expedition…"

Hearing the news from Ais, Drake could not help sighing.

"The Loki Familia really can't stay idle."

As for Monsterphilia, it was a Familia event organized by the Ganesha Familia.

It was similar to the Molten Festival of the Hephaestus Familia.

The difference was that Monsterphilia was also open to ordinary citizens of Orario.

"So…"

Ais stopped in her tracks and looked at Drake with expectation in her eyes.

"So, if you have ti, you can co train with again."

"Before the expedition begins, I want to make up for all the training we missed."

When those words ca from the mouth of a girl whose pretty face was faintly flushed…

It was basically no different from saying, "I want to see you more."

"Of course."

Drake's intuition told him that if he refused at a ti like this, he would probably be placed on the wanted list of the "Sword Princess Support Squad" by the next day.

Assuming Orario really had such a strange organization.

"The ti will be the sa as before. As for the place… I'll find one."

Drake thought for a mont. He just so happened to need to discuss expanding the shop with Lady Goddess anyway.

He could settle the training venue matter at the sa ti.

Otherwise, having to climb over walls with Ais every ti was rather inconvenient.

"Mm."

Ais nodded slightly.

As long as Drake agreed to continue training, she would leave the rest to him.

"By the way, Monsterphilia starts tomorrow, right?"

Drake rembered the event Ais had just ntioned and casually asked,

"Has Ais made plans to go watch it with anyone?"

"No."

Ais shook her head and answered decisively.

"The Dungeon is full of monsters everywhere. There is no need to deliberately go to the arena to watch them."

For high-level adventurers who went on expeditions whenever they had the chance, Monsterphilia was like children playing house.

Whether it was the challengers participating in the "beast fights" or the weak monsters released into the arena, none of it was particularly interesting.

The enemies they faced in the deep floors of the Dungeon were far stronger than these imprisoned shallow-floor monsters.

Thinking about it, that made sense.

This was only an event the Adventurers Guild held together with the Ganesha Familia to narrow the distance between adventurers and ordinary citizens.

For true adventurers, it did not have much aning.

It was not as practical as the Molten Festival.

Drake had originally wanted to invite Ais to Monsterphilia to raise her affection.

But after thinking of that, he gave up on the idea…

He could just invite soone else when the ti ca.

"Right, I recently made a new set of armor. I feel like it suits you very well."

Drake coughed lightly and took out the Aerospec set that he had just placed in the display case today.

Its main colors were blue and white, mixed with golden trim, giving it a classical beauty and elegance.

Ais's original light armor was also blue and white. The extra gold would also complent her hair.

When he crafted the Aerospec set, Drake had already thought that this equipnt would definitely suit Ais.

"It is very beautiful armor."

Ais accepted the Aerospec Breastplate, which ca with shoulder guards, and found that it was lighter than she had imagined, almost as light as a feather.

Generally speaking, armor that covered the whole body would not be too light no matter what.

This was also why many adventurers were unwilling to wear full-body armor.

If it was too heavy, it would affect movent instead.

But this armor was different. It was extrely light, and even a lightly equipped warrior like Ais would not be hindered by it.

This was the special characteristic of Aerialite Bars.

All armor made from them carried effects that increased movent speed, falling speed, and immunity to fall damage.

Drake, who had already mastered this material through alchemy, naturally would not forge bulky equipnt.

"If you think the helt blocks your vision too much, you can try this hair ornant instead."

Drake had prepared many accessories for this Aerospec armor set.

Aside from the fixed breastplate and leggings, changing to different helts could provide bonuses for different classes.

The Aerospec Headgear was armor for the Summoner class.

Although Ais could not benefit from the class bonus, the set effect could still be triggered.

"This is…?!"

After Ais put on the headgear, she discovered that a phantom had appeared in front of her.

The phantom had wings on its back, and its appearance was exactly the sa as Ais wearing the Aerospec armor.

Aside from the lack of light in its eyes and the fact that it did not seem to possess intelligence, it was practically another version of herself!

"This is the armor set effect."

This was also Drake's first ti seeing the effect triggered by the Summoner version of the Aerospec set.

He had to admit…

The Valkyrie summoned with Ais as the base model was indeed beautiful.

"When the full Aerospec armor set is worn, it can summon a Valkyrie. The Valkyrie's gender depends on the wearer."

"The Valkyrie can assist you in battle and launch ramming attacks against enemies…"

"If you don't want to stand out too much, you can silently think of canceling the summon in your heart, and the armor effect will turn off."

"If you want to summon it again, it's the sa thod. Silently think of summoning the Valkyrie."

"However, the Valkyrie's strength is fixed. Considering the intensity of the battles you face… at most, it can harass the enemy a little."

"Mm…"

After listening to Drake's explanation, Ais thought for a mont. Then her expression suddenly shifted slightly.

The Valkyrie beside her suddenly flapped its wings and flew to a nearby shelf, retrieving a torch.

"It seems it can also serve as a scout."

"But it cannot leave you too far."

Drake watched this scene from the side and added,

"If you like it, I can lend you this armor set first…"

"How much?"

"Hm?"

Drake froze for a mont.

"If you are only borrowing it, you do not need to pay ."

"…"

Ais fell silent for a mont, then walked to the display case herself and glanced at the price tag on it.

"Twenty-five million valis… During this expedition, I will work hard."

Originally, she already owed Drake twenty million valis.

Although she had repaid it through "training," Ais still felt that she owed him.

This ti…

This ti, she would definitely save up twenty-five million and not let Drake suffer a loss again!

Ais had no doubts about the price of this armor.

Whether it was the lightweight material or the Valkyrie's support effect, it was much better than her current armor.

Especially in terms of appearance, she had liked this armor at first sight.

Most blacksmiths in Orario regarded "magic swords" as the symbol of the highest craftsmanship.

But very few people put such careful work into armor.

This also caused the equipnt stores in Babel Tower to be filled with all kinds of enchanted weapons.

However, when it ca to armor, adventurers did not have many options.

Ais felt that these twenty-five million valis were worth spending.

"Fine. Since you insist on paying…"

Drake thought for a mont, looked Ais up and down in the full Aerospec armor set, and suddenly ca up with an idea.

"Then help promote the fact that Adventurer's Ho sells high-grade armor in your Familia."

"In that case, I can give you a fifty percent discount on this armor."

The Loki Familia, filled with high-level adventurers, was practically a group of major custors.

With Ais promoting it, the effect would definitely be good.

If he could close a few deals, the money he earned would definitely far exceed today's discounted price.

"All right."

Ais thought for a mont and did not refuse the proposal.

The two chatted for a while longer. It was not until the sky grew dark that Ais finally said goodbye and left.

Drake had originally wanted to rest early for once.

However, after returning to Terraria, the Shadow Eater brought him good news.

Under the diligent survey work of this chief civil engineer under Drake's command…

The Dungeon area, which had never been discovered before, had finally been found!
