The night had deepened to a considerable degree so we shifted from the guild room to the aristocratic dormitory.
Midway, we had Karua return to the girls dormitory. Perhaps our discussion was difficult for her as she had started dodging off. I just hope she doesn't forget the details tomorrow. She wouldn't...right?
Hannah also returned back for today. Since she was taking Karua, I didn't need to worry much.
Coming to us, Sierra, Lana, Ester and I had co to the tea room, which was often used by students for tea parties and other recreational activities.
Originally, I had wanted to use the lounge but as it was the last day of sumr vacation and a lot of students had wanted to rekindle their friendship, not a single one free.
The tea room, too, had been a last mont find as only this one was available.
"Well, now would you mind explaining about this?"
"This is an indispensable item needed to push you toward the advanced princess job path!"
At present, over the table, which normally would have stylish or elegant tea-set placed over it, were placed four shields of crude appearance.
They were small, round wooden shields. Classified into the small shield category, and the na was ‹Infinite Shield›.
The small shields category includes shields like my ‹Firmant Shield›, anwhile kite-shields, like the one Sierra had, co into the big shield category.
Also, my ‹Brave› limits from equipping anything other than small shields. Ability-wise, small shields were the weakest in performance while two-handed were the ta.
This was also a reason behind Sierra's current skeptical expression. Lana also harbored the sa face, while Ester appeared a bit stiff.
What's the matter with everyone?
"Haa. I an, there's no reason to doubt your words after coming so far, but... how are you even privy to all this, huh?"
Sierra said, giving a stern glare. Woah, this definitely was 9/10 stern glare!
"Not even the royal family has hold of more than a handful of high-ranking advanced jobs conditions......"
Ester wore a distressed expression as her one hand cupped her cheek, seemingly wanting to sigh at the situation.
Fuhaha, of course, there's but one answer to that.
"Because I'm the ‹Brave›!"
"Haa...... It's really been a while since we're hearing the sa reply......"
"Geez, you're really hopeless Zephyr. But fine, I will take this as truth."
"............"
Sierra heaved a long sigh and Lana replied in her typical tsundere-ish manner.
Ester seed like she wanted to ask more in detail but ultimately swallowed her words.
The three then once again turned their focus to the condition of advanced jobs.
"Hey, that's fine and all but what about , Zephyr?"
"Your turn will co next since we're short on ti, Lana."
"Bumr, then it's just Sierra today?"
"Well, yes. I know you're also eager but have patient till tomorrow. I guess you can have a look at the process for today."
"Mmm......."
"—(Lana-sama, I believe having patience here is the sign of good wife.)"
"O-Oh, really? I-If you say so, then fine. I will just wait."
Woah, Lana actually backed down without insisting like usual. Typically, it would have gone like 'a little bit of explanation wouldn't hurt though!'. Lana is growing up huh. Though it seed like Ester whispered sothing in her ears, I wonder what that was?
"Anyway, Zephyr. How're these shields going to be used?"
Sierra tilted her head—and she looked cute doing that, by the way—as she showed the round shield she was holding in her hand.
Right, let's focus on her now to clear 'special condition.'
"Oh, speaking of ‹Infinite Shield›, it has quite an interesting skill attached to it; ‹Anywhere Equip (Shield)›, which makes it possible to equip the shield in any equipnt slot."
In short, by virtue of its skill, the ‹Infinite Shield› could be equipped in headpiece, greaves, torso slot etc. When equipped as a headpiece, the shield would completely hide the equipper's face, or equipping them in Body (1) & Body (2) slot would make the two shields cover the naked chest only.
For obvious reason, It was quite a famous shield in ‹Dankatsu›. In the past, a guild had even won the championship of ‹Guild House Screenshot Appreciation Competition›, their screenshots of all the 50 guild mbers taking pose in nothing but ‹Infinite Shield› cinching the victory.
Of course, it was an unofficial competition but amusing nonetheless. Later, for inexplicable reasons, the scenery of perverts blowing away here and there had beco quite an everyday scenery in the ‹Dankatsu›.
The na of ‹Infinite Shield› had been known to everyone and their mother ever since then.
But aside from its interesting skill, it was a h tier equipnt since it dropped from ‹Wooden Chest›. That said, ‹Infinite Shield› had so amazing usage than just using them as re equipnt.
"Sierra, first equip ‹White Fang Kite-Shield›. Then equip these shields on the right hand, arm, accessory (1) and accessory (2)."
"Alright, but......"
Although she looked slightly sceptical, Sierra nonetheless took out her ‹White Fang Kite-Shield› from ‹Inventory Bag›, equipping it along with ‹Infinite Shield›.
"Zephyr, don't you think I'm looking a bit strange?"
"Hmm? Y-You look alright, yeah."
With one in each hand, one in the right hand slot, and the one each in shoulder accessory (1) & accessory (2)—Sierra was finally equipped with five shields.
The shoulder pads like shields actually looked cool. Seriously.
"Hey, Ester....... Why're you looking away?"
"Nothing at all. It's just so dust."
"Your Highness?"
"I-I...yeah, I was just thinking that shoulder pad looks great. I wish I could have them."
"Haa. Thank you very much for the praise."
Ester sohow couldn't look at the situation and averted her eyes, but Lana sohow managed to put up the appearance. Sierra sighed and turned to .
"So, what should I do now, Zephyr?"
Her tone was as if she was urging to hurry up and get done with the matter quickly. Ahaha, it must be my imagination.
"R-Right. We need to do the usual; Defeat 300 monsters while equipping them. We'll be using the Slip-po marathon. We're constrained in ti so Ester and Lana, help out here."
"Right away."
"What, too?"
With that, I took out the ‹Beginner Alchemy Set›, equipped ‹Alchemy LV1 - bracelet› and began with the process to create the slis. We then started hurling those slis at Sierra like in the 'Monster Throw' scenario.
Sierra flailed the shield in her arm and PAT-PAT send them flying.
On other hand, after having Lana helping out, she chid in with 'Oh, this is actually fun!'. I guess she liked it.
It didn't take long for us to complete our task.
"It hasn't been long but it really feels nostalgic sohow repeating this.....but, are you sure that's all we need to do? I an, we're talking about the condition of advanced jobs."
"Oh~, I know right. Zephyr's action always, you know, appears so mundane that it instead inspires anxiousness."
"Lana-sama, I think you shouldn't be too direct."
"I can't believe that's what you say to my ticulously designed efficiency-first plan. Anyway, our first step is completed with this. Let's wrap up for today since it's getting too late, we will continue the rest tomorrow. And Sierra, we will have you go through job promotion tomorrow as well."
