[WN] Shut-In : Chapter 97


Chapter 97

The Status of the Two


Translator : PolterGlast


"So this is the border... it's not as heavily guarded as I thought."

 

"Well, we're not at war, after all."

 

In this world, there's a common enemy called the Demon Lord.

Therefore, wars between human nations rarely occur.

 

Vero is also a fortress city, but the crossbows are aimed north, not east.

That's proof that they're targeting monsters, not humans.

 

"Well then, let's start by... registering as adventurers."

 

We were going to head to the Holy Elmore Empire from here.

In that case, it could be a bit troublesome if Miku's identity remained unclear.

Currently, inspections are relatively lenient, but still, if things go wrong, they could get complicated.

So, after discussing it, we decided to register Miku-san as an adventurer first.

 

Registering with the guild and becoming an adventurer made crossing borders much easier.

Just being someone who made a living by subjugating monsters granted quite a few preferential treatments.

 

Since I was already a registered adventurer, Miku's registration went smoothly.

Also, as a form of camouflage, she wasn't wearing the nun's habit she had on when we met, but rather leather armor like a novice adventurer.

Thanks to walking through the forest for a long time, it was appropriately dirty, and she didn't look like she was wearing clothes that didn't suit her.

 

Of course, we couldn't register her with her real name, so her adventurer name became Mikuru.

By adding the setting that she was called Miku by close friends, it wouldn't seem suspicious if I called her by her first name.

 

Since being suspected was a hassle, we took a room at an inn and returned to our [Home].

And since we had the opportunity, we decided to check each other's status.

 

"Status Open."

Knight of the Holy Remains

 

This was my current status.

 

We defeated quite a few monsters on the way to Vero, but my physical LV didn't increase at all. So, from the middle, I often let Miku deliver the final blow to help her level up.

 

I didn't think there were any monsters stronger than the Knight of the Holy Remains.

I should consider that I had entered a realm where leveling up was no longer possible.

From here on, I saw that I could only get stronger by increasing my skills, gifts, and stats.

 

Thanks to working hard on magic proficiency for the past month and a half, I was finally able to raise all attribute levels to 10.

Until now, I had been fighting while leveling up, so the pace was inevitably slow, but this time I was able to focus solely on leveling up magic, which was a big plus.

 

Halfway through, I was able to enjoy earth magic, like crafting, so it wasn't that difficult.

In terms of leveling up, dark magic was probably the hardest.

It was pretty tough for me, who was still restless, to meditate with the lights off in my room all the time.

If I hadn't come up with a certain method, it would have taken much longer to raise it to LV10.

But thanks to my hard work, I also obtained the strongest magic of each type, which seemed to be the level 10 cap bonus.

There were still some magic spells that I couldn't use, like wind magic and light magic.

 

When I checked again, lightning magic and space-time magic only had one LV10 magic, and the other attributes had one offensive magic and one unusable magic.

I wondered if lightning magic and space-time magic only had one because their LV10 magic was strong.

 

"Hmm... I don't think I can catch up no matter how hard I try..."

 

Miku frowned when she saw my stats written in the notebook.

 

Even her expression with her hand on her chin and her mouth in a "" shape was cute, so anything goes.

 

"But it's kind of inconvenient that we can't see other people's stats without writing them down like this."

 

"Apparently, there's a skill called [Appraisal] that allows you to see other people's status boards. I found out later that First Princess Misha was using Appraisal to secretly see everyone's stats from the beginning."

 

Wow, as expected of the Grust Kingdom's princess.

She completely ignored privacy and did whatever she wanted.

 

There were still many skills in this world that I didn't have.

Considering the future, I wanted to aim to acquire skills as well.

 

"Status Open... here you go."

 

I peeked at Miku's hand, which was adding numbers to the paper.

 

Miku Arisugawa

Dark Magic LV2

This was Miku's current status.

Since she had basically been acting alone, Miku was the first person whose stats I had seen.

 

So, when I saw it for the first time, I was honestly... shocked.

 

Apparently, my stat growth was abnormal.

According to her, my growth rate even surpassed the hero's.

 

And I even had the [Training Room], a gift that allowed me to increase the stats I wanted.

 

Moreover, if I invited people to my [Home], I could even share this power.

 

In fact, by using the training room, Miku's agility had already increased to an incomparable level.

Furthermore, she could now use dark magic, so she was now a completely dark saintess.

 

[Please use this gift to save the world too!]

 

The words the god said... might not have been a joke, but the truth.

 

Miku should start raising values other than agility soon.

After talking about that, we went to sleep.

 

And the next day.

We, who were about to cross the border into the empire, were stopped in an unexpected way.

 

"Excuse me, it seems that a group of wyverns has taken over the highway... you should consider that crossing the border into the empire will be impossible for a while."
