Textauszug

Prologue — Kent

We were spending our time in Laureldite frequenting Ifrit’s Oasis. This dungeon awarded not only lots of materials for Tarte’s Formulation but also a bunch of items that fetched good prices at the Adventurer’s Guild. Maybe I should give mom a present once in a while.

With each encounter, we gained more levels and grew stronger—so much so that I was starting to think we might be the strongest party in the entire world. Of course, that didn’t stop me from pursuing further improvement.

Late one night, I was woken up by rhythmic meowing—Tarte. What is she up to this late at night? I quietly sneaked out of my room and followed Tarte’s grunt-yowls to a space behind our inn where Tarte was swinging an Iron Mace, apparently having stayed up to do some training.

“I can’t swing it too well...but I need to be stronger and use weapons too...!” Tarte muttered to herself. After catching her breath, she went right back to swinging the mace. She was trying to build enough strength to use a weapon for longer in battle.

Should I go talk to her? Squatting down behind the corner of the building, I considered what to do. Tarte’s only means of attack—albeit a powerful one—was her Molotov-lobbing Potion Throw. Combined with the potions she always made us with Formulation, she was more than pulling her weight in the party. Still, she must have felt like she was holding us back in combat because of how many combat Skills the rest of us had in our arsenals. I get it, Tarte! I get it! My level hadn’t been that high until I’d met Sharon and she’d helped me level up a ton. Without her, neither Cocoa nor I would have come this far.

After forming a party with Sharon and going through all those dungeons, I’d reached a mind-boggling level 147. Although my level-up rate had slowed down lately, I had to admit that I was pretty strong already. It seemed like a lifetime ago when I would ask around for advice at the Guild and read tons of books to prepare for my adventures. Nowadays, we were going to places that had to be unknown to all but a handful of adventurers, and books with reliable information about those places were even harder to come by. This is all Sharon’s fault.

I turned my attention back to Tarte. Alchemists weren’t meant to focus solely on combat anyway. They did learn some combat Skills, but all of them were expensive to use. On top of that, unlike most of us, Alchemists had no advanced or awakened jobs to move up to. That could also be part of what had spurred Tarte to work out in the middle of the night. But her Potion Throw is so cool... This isn’t about me, though—it’s about how Tarte feels.

Pushing myself to my feet, I called out to her, “Tarte!”

“Kent?! What are you doing up this late?”

“I heard your voice, so I came to check on you,” I explained.

“That’s embarrassing...” Tarte laughed, looking bashful.

“You’ve been working out?” I asked.

“Oh, yes. I’m not so good in combat, so I thought if I built more muscle by swinging this mace... But it feels too heavy to me. I can’t move it how I want.” Tarte trilled a sort of embarrassed chuckle.

I gave her a smile. “It feels that way to everyone when they first start out.”

“I’ve impurroved a little bit,” Tarte said and demonstrated by swinging the club again. She seemed to be overflowing with determination. It reminded me of how I’d started swinging a sword around when I’d first dreamed of becoming an adventurer.

“Okay! I’ll be your blade master, Tarte.”

“But I already have Meowster,” Tarte countered.

“Well, yeah.” Obviously, I had no intention of usurping Sharon’s role—especially when I wouldn’t stand a snowball’s chance against Sharon in a fight. “Just when it comes to practicing the sword. I still have a lot to learn from Sharon myself.” I didn’t mention that being called a master of anything sounded really cool. “The least I can do is check your form. Let’s work out together. That’s mostly what I do when I have spare time anyway.”

“If you really don’t mind.” Tarte smiled back.

“All right, then I’m your blade master while we’re working out. Working on your swing is a good start, but it’s also important to build muscle. The more you work out your core, the more stable you’ll be in battle.”

“That makes sense!”

Just swinging the weapon would be a fine method to train if we only planned to take on the occasional weak monster, but our party delved into dungeons and took out bosses. We had to condition our bodies from head to toe. “If you lose your balance after swinging a weapon, you waste the time it takes to rebalance instead of using it for the next attack or to guard against a counterattack. Joining Sharon’s party made me realize that raw Attack and Defense power isn’t enough to make me a good fighter. Quick reflexes always help, and it’s always better to keep the big picture in mind.”

The most important skill was teamwork. Where should I stand to make it easier for the party to move? Who’s going to attack next, and how? Those were the questions that ran through my mind during combat.

“So, keep swinging your weapon when you train, but try also thinking about how your Potion Throw can help the party even more.”

“The problem with Purrtion Throw is that it also hurts anyone close to the target. If I can figure out how to only damage enemies...I’ll be more useful!” Tarte suggested. It wasn’t an easy problem to solve. She often opened fights by throwing a bomb, but she couldn’t throw them too far, especially from her position toward the back of the party.

“It’s not a bad idea to practice throwing and work out your arm.”

“Right...” Tarte said as her expression clouded a little. “If I were taller...I could throw farther.”

“Tarte, you’re still young, so— Oh.” I clapped a hand over my mouth.

“It’s okay,” Tarte said, giving me a smile. The Cait Sith were a comparatively short species. The tallest height Tarte could ever hope to reach would still only be up to my chest.

I’m such an idiot! “I’m sorry, Tarte.”

“Don’t be,” she said, still smiling. “I’m just going to be an Alchemeowst who fights with a weapon too.”

“That’s really cool,” I said. She had a good picture of where she wanted to end up. Even if there wasn’t much I could do to help her get there, I had to do all I could as her blade master. “You’re at level 145, aren’t you?”

“That’s right. There are only eighty levels’ worth of Skills available to me, so I have to train the basics after that... I wish I could learn more Skills.” Tarte’s ears drooped. Since I had an awakened job, my Total Skill Cap was 130. Tarte, who had a special job, was capped at 80. “Meowster said that I could become an unbeatable Alchemeowst as long as I had money.”

“Oh, because you always use Molotovs.”

“Right.”

Still, there was a limit to how far money alone could take her. We could only buy so many of each Molotov ingredient. “Let’s keep collecting Fire Shrooms in the dungeons. I’ll help. So will Cocoa and everyone else.”

“Thank you! I’ll keep making money so I can buy them when...
