Episode 19: Rare Skill and Pioneer

"Fuu, the tent is safe today as well ..."

"Wafu!!"

"Owa!!?"

The cub that I saved yesterday jumped at me when I sat up. I got my face licked as it was.

[ Shou-kun, ready yet, desu? ]

[ Oh, I'm sorry. Wait a minute. ]

I wanted to quickly turn on the livestream, but there was a cub in front of my face ...

"Can you see?"

[ Hello, Shou-kun. Hey, is that child from yesterday, desu!? ]

"Yeah. It suddenly jumped at me ... Hey, hey, I get it already."

I picked up the cub - Yup, it's a boy - and put him in the middle of my crossed legs.

[ It looks like his injuries have healed, desu. ]

"Right."

Looking at the cub ...

【Wolf？】

It still had a '?' attached. It was good that the display for minor injuries had disappeared, but the display frame had changed from white to green.

"This frame is green, isn't it? I think red is the enemy, white is non-actor, blue is a player, and yellow is an NPC. Do you know anything about it, Mion?"(TN:Not sure what exactly non-actor entails, maybe non-aggressive type monster? It says 'non aku' in katakana. So maybe critters?)

[ I don't know, either, desu. ]

Hmm, maybe it's friendly? If that's the case ...

Of course, I opened the skill list and looked for training skills. If I could get it, it should be promising!

"Here goes! Training skills! Required SP9!?"

Since the normal skill was SP1, it was 9 times that! This was a rare skill, wasn't it. Common, uncommon, rare, maybe 1, 4, 9.

[ Shou-kun, are you going to take it, desu? ]

"Then ... I'll take it. This child, I want to keep them!"

I made up my mind and got it! Okay! The remaining SP had suddenly decreased to 18.

"Umm, how am I going to do this?"

For the time being, when I looked at the cub,

【Wolf：NoName：Friendly（Tameable）】

Oh! Well then, let's try taming.

【Succeeded in taming. Please choose a name.】

"Eh, a name? It's bad, I didn't think about that at all!"

I thought it might be possible, but I didn't think I'd suddenly have to decide on a name here.

[ Umm ... I came up with a name, but is that okay, desu? ]

"Eh, did you think about it?"

[ Yes. How about Lupi, desu? ]

"Yeah, it's decided."

As expected, it's a nice name that's both cute and a little strong.

With my naming sense, I would have called him 'Pochi' without any twist ...

"Then, your name is Lupi."

"Wafun!"

【Wolf？：Lupi：Intimate】

Oh, as usual '?' was still attached, but the name was properly set. It's bad, I'm so happy. Just as I thought that ...

【Training Pioneer: Acquired 10 SP】

"Eh!?"

[ It's great, desu! ]

The SP that was reduced by taking the training skill returned to 28. I mean, it's 1 more than before I took it, but is this a good balance?

Also, I had a feeling that someone who played normal games would train horses ...

"Wafu?"

"Nn? It's nothing."

When I stroked him slowly and gently, he narrowed his eyes comfortably and wagged his tail. It's bad. I want to do this for a long time ...

[ So cute, desu ~ . ]

"Uuu, I've always wanted to do this, but what should I do today ..."

I thought while stroking Lupi.

I would like to explore the west side a little further, but is it time sensitive for now?

[ For the time being, how about rabbit hunting for Lupi-chan, desu? ]

"Oh, that's right. Rather, are you hungry?"

"Wafu!!"

That's right. I don't think he's eaten since I was here before.

"Wait a minute."

I took out the rabbit meat from the pot and minced it like before.

It seemed that my training skill was working properly as he sat and waited while I was working.

"Alright, you can eat."

After saying that, Lupi jumped on the meat and began to devour it. I had to put water down too.

"I wonder what Lupi does when I'm not logged in?"

[ After all, Isn't he sleeping? ]

Hmm, should I leave rabbit meat for the time being?

"Well, it's a game, so it's okay if you don't eat for a whole day ..."

[ If Lupi-chan can hunt rabbits by himself, wouldn't it be okay, desu? ]

"Oh, I see."

He's a wolf, and when he grows up, rabbits ... Bicobits can be hunted normally.

"Lupi. After eating, let's go hunting."

"Wafu!!"

Oh? I feel like its expression had become a little more fearless.

[ He just recovered from his injury, desu, so please don't overdo it, okay? ]

"Yes, yes. I'll see how it goes in the shallow area on the east side."

Wouldn't it be better if I dealt a certain amount of damage and then let Lupi finish it off? I wonder if Lupi has a level ...

.........

......

...

We continued hunting the rabbit monster Bicobit for about an hour.

【Character level has risen!】

"Oh, my character level went up."

[ Congratulations! ]

"Thank you. But, I'm finally level 3."

Bell-buchou was level 7 now, right?

The closed beta lasted two weeks, and it seemed that level 5 was the upper limit. Considering they inherited their character's level, status, and skills, I couldn't make a simple comparison.

Even so, 5 to 7 required more experience points than 1 to 3, and since it had only been 6 days since opening ... Wasn't it a relatively wasteful play?

"Should I do my whole status now."

I still had 28 SP left to acquire skills.

Also, 3 to STR, 2 to DEX/INT/VIT, 1 to AGI, and LUK is Pass. It's okay, let's finish it here.

"Well, let's go home. Lupi!"

"Wafu!!"

At first, I felt like I was letting him play with weakened prey, but when I let him fight a Bicobit, Lupi easily won.

Why, if I let him fight normally, I won't even need to follow him. He's as strong as me ...

[ Lupi-chan, so clever, desu. ]

"That's amazing. I wonder if it's thanks to my training skill that he understands what I'm saying."

Even if I'm not logged in, I'm relieved that he can hunt on his own. However, there was a Goblin Settlement in the back.

"Lupi, if you're hungry, you can go hunting, but don't go to the back, okay?"

"Wafun."
