Chapter 55: The Paws Are Matchi-ng!

“But, is it alright? To receive a belt with such an amazing effect…”

Georg-san passed the paw belt to me, but I wavered when my hands were about to receive it since I felt bad.

After all, it has such a rare effect, right?

“Of course. It’s originally Yuuri-chan’s belt, after all.”

Georg-san said so, but…

“That’s right. There’s no need for a child to mind about it. It’s fine for you to just meekly say ‘thank you’.”

Amanda-san sat next to me as she gently brushed my hair.

I grabbed the paw belt tightly as I lowered my head.

“Georg-san, thank you very much. I’ll use it with care.”

“Yeah. If you do that, I’ll be happy.”

As he smiled pleasantly, the dark brown pupils which were the same colour as his hair looked extremely gentle.

Eh? For some reason, when I look at him like this, had he not have the scraggly beard, Georg-san would have had a pretty well-featured face…?

Ah, but if he were to shave his beard, Amanda-san’s rival might increase, so I should keep my mouth in check.

It’d be fine to have Amanda-san become the only one to know Georg-san’s charm.

Amanda-san, do your best!

Anyway, just what kind of effect is the [Fortune] effect?

Ah, since it’s my own equipment, won’t I be able to see what effect it has?

We couldn’t see such a thing in this world, but in the Elysia Online, a semi-transparent window could appear once we took a long hard it would tell us things such as the name of the NPC or the store, the equipment’s strength, and so on.

For example, if it was Amanda-san, there would be a name displayed on top of her head that read out as [Amanda].

In case of equipment, we would be seeing the offensive power for weapons or the defensive power for armours. However, in this world, I was only able to see my own equipment’s numerical values.

I wonder how about the items that were dropped from the monsters or the items that I could draw out from the treasure chest…

Speaking of which, I heard that magical jewels could be dropped after a monster was defeated, but what about items such as their fur or bones?

The items like furs that were dropped by monsters could become ingredients for armours, meanwhile items that were like bones could become ingredients for weapons, and I wonder if they were dropped as they were… Surely that won’t be the case, right?

Ever since I came to this world, I only defeated monsters such as slimes and goblins. For slimes, my magic was too strong that they would be burnt without leaving anything, and for goblins… Speaking of which, I wonder if the sticks they carried could be considered as the items they dropped? But that would simply be an item that the goblins carried and fell easily after they were defeated. I felt like it couldn’t be categorized as their drop items.

I wonder if I would come to understand it once I go on an adventure towards the Earth Labyrinth?

As I was thinking about it, I stared at the paw belt.

***

Paw Belt

It is obtainable through a purchase from the White Cat NPC

Basic Effect: Agility+5

Additional Effect: Fortune (Enchanter: George)

***

Ooh! Georg-san’s name was properly recorded as the Enchanter. Amazing!

And if I were to tap around the [Fortune] text…

Eh? It didn’t show anything.

I wonder why?

Hmm… But since it really had the [Fortune] effect, surely it would be something good, right?

Ah! Could it be that even if it wasn’t written there, it would increase the chance of a rare drop?!

If it’s the case, I should quickly equip this!

I equipped the Paw Belt on the pink dress that Georg-san made.

How is it? Does it suit the dress?

“Yuuri-chan, so cute!”

“Ya-y! Thank you very much. Do you think it suits me too, Noir?”

As I asked, Noir who was sitting on top of my lap stared at the Paw Belt.

“Nyaa.”

“Here look, Noir. The paws are matchi-ng!”

I took Noir’s front paw and let it touch the Paw Belt as Noir tilted its head and cried, “Nyaa?”

Kyaaaaaa! How cuteeee!

As expected of my Noir! Its cuteness is no match!

And then the temptation of this squish paw… nobody could withstand it.

Haaaaa! I want to squish if foreveeeeerrrr…!

Then, a knock to the door could be heard.

“Amanda, do you have a moment?”

It’s Ar-niisama’s voice!

Amanda-san and Georg-san looked at each other. Then, seeing Georg-san nodding, Amanda-san answered, “Go ahead.”

As the door opened, there was one more person who was with Ar-niisama, and they entered the room.

Eh? It’s the chubby yellow-san… no, uhm, he is Lansley-san.

I wonder what’s up?

As Lansley-san saw Amanda-san’s figure, his face showed a very delighted expression. And when he also noticed Georg-san, his face dulled.

Hmhmhm. As expected, the three of them are in a love triangle?!

“What’s wrong?”

“It seems that Lansley has something he wants to tell Amanda.”

“What is it?”

C-c-c-c-could it be, he was planning on confessing here?!

No, but there’s also Georg-san here? Is it a confession with a resolution to accept a honourable defeat?!

“It’s just that my father, he said that there was something that weighed his mind…”

“Count Rainier?”

The moment she heard the name, Amanda-san was trying to conceal her disgust, and Lansley-san had an apologetic expression.

“Ah, no. This time’s matter isn’t about you.”

“—What is it about, then?”

Lansley-san removed his line of sight from Amanda-san who was puzzled, and then he was staring at me.

“It is related to Yuuri-chan.”

Eeh? Me?

W-why?!
