*Episode 032: Overwhelming Equipment Cheat**
“Hmm... where is this?”
When I woke up, I recognized the ceiling—it was the ceiling of my house.@@@@
“Oh, you’re finally awake.”
“As expected, you repeated the same thing. Once you start concentrating, you can’t stop, huh?”
Shuji and Sato grinned at me, and I remembered collapsing again due to running out of magic.
“I did it again, huh...”
“Well, we expected it.”
“Me too.”
I sat up, shoulders slumped, and the two of them peered at my face with warm gazes.
“Hey, hey.”
There was a warm sensation on my cheek. It was my angel, Enjyu.
“Oh, are you comforting me?”
“Yeah.”
“How kind.”
I hugged Enjyu tightly, who licked my cheek, her warmth and fluffiness providing comfort.
“Ugh, I’m jealous...”
I felt like I heard something from somewhere, but it was probably my imagination.
“So, how’s the situation in the town?”
“Yeah, more people seem to be going outside compared to yesterday. It seemed like there were more people about to running out of supplies and reluctantly coming out rather than those that are exhausted.”
“I see.”
Revived with Enjyu’s power, I had a meal, took a bath, and then listened to the two’s reports again.
It seemed that both of them had reached level six. Moreover, they were able to equip themselves with all the equipment that came out of the silver chest.
Since they threw everything they didn’t need at me, the items I used were replenished.
“Wow, seriously? Let’s do it right away!”
“I’d like to do it too if that’s okay. Better equipment is always good.”
After I shared the results of today’s production-related abilities, both of them became enthusiastic about enhancement. It couldn’t be helped...
Alright, here we go!
“Ugh... whether I lose the weapons and armor, I won’t know, ok?”
“I get it. But with Enjyu around, we can get weapons and armor again. Besides, with the current Shadows, even without weapons and armor, we won’t lose.”
“That’s right. Even if we lose weapons and armor, the skills and experience we’ve gained won’t disappear. Unless something irregular happens, we should be able to escape at least.”
Despite trying to persuade them with my determination, they seemed to have considered it thoroughly. There was no point in saying anything more.
It seems like there’s no choice but to do it...
I made up my mind.
“Alright, alright. Since I don’t have magic today, let’s do it tomorrow.”
“Understood.”
“I understand.”
Seemingly determined, he decided to continue.
And as a result...
“No way...”
“What is this? It’s too amazing...”
“Why is it succeeding...?”
In front of us lay a weapon with a success rate below 10%, enhanced to +5. Emitting a faint blue light, it exuded a completely different presence and intimidation than before. It felt like I’m being pushed back by force.
“At this rank, this is the limit.”
“No, I don’t want to expect any more than this. I’d rather ask for other armor.”
When I said I couldn’t enhance further, Shuji, surprised by how easily it succeeded, hastily replied. Even at Rank 1, it seemed dangerous, so I couldn’t imagine what would happen if the rank reached its maximum...
“Yeah, that’s right. Seeing this, I’m looking forward to it.”
“Sigh... I get it. Don’t expect it to work on other things, though.”
“I understand.”
“Sure, sure.”
Even Sato, who usually exuded a nonchalant atmosphere, sparkled with excitement. So, after setting up precautions, I continued the work.
And then...
“I never thought it would come to this...”
“This is unexpected. Seriously...”
From the actions and words of the two, it was clear that the results were unbelievable. All of their best equipment had succeeded in enhancing to +5. This was an unimaginable stroke of luck.
“Luck?”
Could it be?
I remembered something from my muttered words in my heart.
“Is this possibly because of Enjyu and my skills?”
“...”
In response to my words, the two silently stared at Enjyu and me.
It seems that the two also realized that Enjyu might be a lucky charm with a luck-enhancing skill.
“Hey?”
Enjyu, the person in question, tilted her head curiously.
“Or is there any other possibility?”
The two, as if it were the only plausible explanation, looked at Enjyu and me in silence.
It seems that both of them have realized that Enjyu is the lucky goddess bringing happiness to us.
“Hey?”
The actual person seemed curious, tilting her head.
“Or could it be that there’s no other possibility?”
“That’s right.”
“Yeah, Enjyu seems to be our goddess of luck.”
We became aware of the additional effect of the luck cheat due to Enjyu and me being together. That day, we continued to enhance, defeat monsters to replenish the depleted enhancement stones, set up guards, and rested again.
