“I feel bad for Yuki… She was told by her parents not to play games for a while to study. I wished I could be with her sooner… Fufufufu~ I’ll just enjoy by myself you know.”

Just like that, Kaede was about to walk, but she had an idea when she looked around. Looking at the adventurers around her. She notices how fashionable they are. They are all wearing cool-looking equipment.

“I-I’m still on beginner's equipment!”

She a thin dull clothes and a very weak-looking short sword on her waist.

That was it. When she looked around there are high-level players here and there, and those people are wearing good equipment with decorations.

“She looked around for those kinds of people for a while and saw a man who equipped a cool large sword on his back.

Walking she approached the man and called him.

“That sword of yours is cool. Where can I get something as cool looking as that.”

The man was in puzzled expression looking around man looked around her surrounding to make sure that Kaede was talking to him. The man was surprised because he suddenly had been called out to.

“Eh? Are you talking to me?”

“Yes! That sword of yours is very cool! You look like a knight.”

“Well, I’m a knight… Y-Yeah. Well, thanks. This sword of mine was an order-made you know. You can pay money to a non-combat class user and make it for you.”

“I see… I see..”

“Let me think… Do you want me to introduce someone who can help you? Well, I still remember the time I was a beginner like you. I guess I should help my junior sword knights.”

Kaede’s eyes glimmered and excitedly replied.

“Please do!”

“Well then, come with me.”

(Note: Girls at a young age should not go with shady older males. Don’t be like Kaede.)

There exists the possibility of this being a fraud, but Kaede was only thinking about the large shield right now, so she wasn’t able to think about that at all.

It was lucky for Kaede that this man really only being friendly.

Because…

“No way... The famous oddball idol is talking to me. I should write this on the Fantasy world online forum later.” The man thought.

Tight, this man is one of those people who see Kaede on her picture spreading on the forum page. Just with little time of playing the game Kaede indeed got lots of attention. She even acquires a weird-sounding title.

After walking for a while, they entered one store. Inside, a woman was working ahead of the counter.

“Oh… Welcome, Darkblader65. What happened? The maintenance of your sword is still early through?”

Kaede look at the man when she heard the name of the man.

“Darkblader65? Puff~”

Kaede giggles thinking it’s very weird.

Darkblader65 looks at Kaede with little cold eyes.

The woman in the shop put her hands on Darkblader65's shoulder and said.

“Don’t look at her like that she is just a kid. Anyway, why your name was so lame, to begin with? I also find it funny. It’s like you have a Chunibyo.(Eight-grader syndrome)”

“It’s normal to have this name… I’m my perspective everyone has a weird name… Just whats the meaning of “Kokokokoko_2” and “Painoftheworld” as their names?"

“But it’s kinda cool I think.”

“What’s cool about that?”

The woman turned her glance to Kaede.

“What a cute girl… Dark, did you bring this girl with you impulsively? Should I report you to the police now?”

Saying that the store owner woman emerges a blue panel in the mid-air.

“W-Wait a minute! That, what can I say, it’s just an analogy!”

“Hahahaha… I know that you don’t even have the balls to make a move on a girl, of course, you don’t have any balls to do illegal things.”

“You’re making me feel too bad for myself so stop that!”

Dark said and let out a sigh to relieve his mind from the stress. The store owner giving to him.

“You also, you shouldn’t come with a suspicious person like that you know?”

“... I understand.”

Kaede replied.

“I’m not suspicious!?”

“Anyway, chatting is enough with this, then, what the real talk?”

Asked the store owner to Dark.

“This girl was saying that she wanted a cool shield, so I thought I should just let you see her face.”

“I understand now... My name was Umi. As you see, I’m a non-combat class, and within that, I specialize in blacksmithing. I can also create something like a potion though.”

Kaede smiled upon hearing that and introduced herself.

“You’re amazing… My name is Kaede!”

It was her first intermingling inside the game, so although Kaede was nervous, she was able to say her name without biting her tongue.

“Kaede… Why did you choose a sword?”

“This is the easiest to use said the manual. So I thought I increase my STR to make my attack stronger.”

“I see you're Strenght specialized player. I think you need STR-increasing equipment. Then how much do you have on your budget?”

Kaede checks her budget. Because she hadn’t bought anything so her money was still 3000G, the default money.

“Would three thousand gold be enough?”

Kaede asked to be sure.

“It’s not good enough. At least around one million gold is needed.”

It was a dizzying amount to Kaede right now.

“being fashionable will be postponed for a while huh…”

“There is also another way to have equipment. Ebetering teh dungeon you know? There are a lot of treasures in the dungeons. Also as a way of collecting money, you can for once you know? Well, I don’t know if there was a powerful sword though.”

After that, she registered friends with Crom and Izu, to be able to contact them anytime.

To be friendly, she bowed her head and left the store.

Kaede in the meantime, decided two things, to collect the money and go to the dungeon.

“I want cool equipment!”

After her interaction with Darkblader65. She became a hot topic once again in the online forum.

Continue to Kaede.

“Exploring a dungeon huh~ I feel like my adventure finally had begun!”

Using only three thousand gold, she bought a potion to be sure so will make it alive. HP is only 40 so even the lowest kind of potion is enough.

Kaede has the ring of the giant bee and there is also the skill of meditation.

She finished preparing and went to the dungeon. Her aim was the “Poison dragon cave” that was written on the information bulletin board.

“I have poison resistance so it is alright I think! Dungeon here I come!”

With that feeling of excitement. She jumped outside of the town.

She walked in the opposite direction of the forest. If this weren’t a game. Kaede who was only holding a short sword can only be seen as an elementary school student.

She was attacked by a few monsters on her way, but they are no big deal to the huge damage Kaede can deal. She ignored them.

The monsters in the area seem to be more intelligent than the monsters in the forest. So went they understood that the attack wouldn’t go through, they went away.

There was no witness so Kaede’s abnormal defense power wasn’t found out.

When Kaede was walking like that, the trees around had gradually withered and she noticed that the landscape was becoming deserted. She also saw swamps that sounds “Pokopoko” on the ground.

She walked like that for ten minutes. She saw that there was one part of the ground that was opened wide like a mouth.

“Is that it huh?”

Kaede entered inside, the inside of the cave had a taller ceiling than she thought, so she could properly make a stance with her large shield.

When she enters further, slime with poisonous hues and lizards was crawling from the walls and the ground and charges an attack.

Kaede slashed the monsters and in one hit she defeated the monster immediately. After the slime was defeated it exploded and covered Kaede’s body with slime.

“Let’s go further more…”

After defeating slimes with one hit same with the other monster living in the dungeon. She gains confidence and defeats them immediately as possible.

Wondering how many times it had been, she already defeats many of the monsters.

(Sword slash had been acquired.)

“It doesn't look very useful but it looks strong.”

While she moved further and further inside, there was like a violet flower that released a very clear poisonous-like mist. Fish-type monsters that were swimming in the poison swamps. And while getting past this, she reached the deepest area of the dungeon.

She put forced on the double door to open it.

The door opened completely, and the inside of the room became clear.

There was a huge poison swamp here and there and was full of violet liquid.

At the same time that Kaede entered that room carefully Behind her, the door closed with momentum.

“Hyan!”

As if to erase that short scream. A dragon that has its body melted in some parts appeared from the poison swamp.

“This is the poison dragon?!”

    Without caring about Kaede’s distress, a very deep violet was shot in Kaede’s direction. With that, the damage from the breath shot by the poisoned dragon passed through further.Every time she receives it was 3 damaged. Kaede's HP had been reduced by ! by the first breath shot. With that logic. It means, if it goes like this, she would surely be killed within 13 shots.Getting one potion bottle she was able to replenish her HP immediately and think for a moment.She indeed has poison resistance, but it’s obvious that it’s not working against the black poison dragon. She has the ring and the meditation skill. But that takes time before it heals Kaede’s HP.While she was in deep thought. The Black poison dragon continuously attacks her with its poison breath. Just like that she continuously endures, and by the time her HP is under 20% left, she has drank a potion.Kaede repeats that method over and over again.The amount of recovery couldn't catch up.

    “So colorful and quite big for a starter town I should say. I ner expect to see this kind of town.”Yuki looked around and raised a voice happily. Looking at Yuki herself at the start of the game, she thought about it nostalgically.They both used the name in real life in the game. So that they can avoid confusion in calling each other. Yuki also doesn’t have anything on her mind, to begin with.Previously the other game, Yuki played before. Yuki used a name like Snow because Yuki means snow when translated into English. But she decided to use her name instead for some kind of reason. Before when she is typing her name in character creation she hesitated in putting Snow as her name. That name did make some flashbacks from her past that she doesn’t want to remember.Yuki and Kaede immediately registered as friends. And when they made a party. Yuki showed her status to Kaede.Name: YukiLevel 1HP: 32/32MP: 25/25STR: 10 (+11)VIT: 0AGI: 55 (+5)DEX: 25INT: 10Equipements: Starting a

It’s not a unique series type of armor but it looks good on Yuki.“Oh… Did you notice? This is my new armor. It's armor I buy in the armor shop. It's not as great as yours but this will do for now.”“I remember, you did fight the underground dungeon. What happened? Did you defeat it?

Groups of people flock together and talk about their interests. Right now, I am surrounded by a group of normies. It's not that I hate it. Well, I don’t hate talking about girl stuff sometimes. Darma, popular boys, actors, actresses, the most handsome school, and more. I laugh about it because I barely know anything about what they're talking about. “Kaede, there is a rumor that a hot guy in the second year really likes you.” “Gosh, nothing like that is happening in my life,” I replied to my classmate, who I don’t know. I usually called her friend A in my mind though. Not very interesting. The guy I’ll be dating is a competent guy who can do thin
