Along the way, I just followed Mute and picked up the scraps. No one of my abilities increased particularly significantly, but the leveling up alone was worth it.
"Potential newcomer" is a term given to people who level up quickly.
Sirocco knew he had been exploiting intelligence loopholes and taking shortcuts along the way, and his mood was like drinking a spoonful of drain cleaner. It might make you feel good, but it would also drain your energy.
However, the joy far outweighed the insignificant guilt.
At my level, with a little trickery, switching to Class B wouldn't be a problem.
Sirocco's lips curled up.
They were so excited, so incredibly excited.
I have a lot of money. If I save up a few more, maybe I can really buy advanced skills from the female demon shopkeeper in the dungeon!
I might even be able to take down Cliff in a second!
"Hehe, where would be a good place for a date..."
Sirocco whispered that the food tasted even better.
As he grinned at the ring watch, Cass, leaning against the corner of the wall, propped his chin on one hand and looked at Sirocco with a doting and envious gaze.

After eating and drinking to your heart's content, all that's left is to wait.
It will take at least until after midnight for a mechanism in the church to activate, opening up a hidden area. Head out to get the weapon.
However, it's only a possibility; we might have to wait until the next day.
If the mechanism isn't activated by 30 AM, Sirocco plans to use the TNT he bought to force it open...
When I have nothing to do, although I can use the ring table to download games, Sirocco's data doesn't support it.
I didn't download any good movies or anime either, all because I was so focused on Mute and this operation that I forgot.
While admiring the flying ghosts in the church, Sirocco started chatting with Cass to pass the time, and for some inexplicable reason, Cass started talking about Pretty Cure again.
How much he loves this work...
Sirocco didn't know much about it, so he could only listen quietly.
More than an hour passed.
Kas took a satisfied sip of freshly brewed hot cocoa to relieve his dry mouth.
Sirocco listened for more than an hour.
"...Chatting with Sirocco like this makes me realize that you're actually a very ordinary person."
"Why do you say I used to be a weirdo?"
"Isn't that right? Finding the Maple Knights and fighting in that reckless way; knowing that the other side is a cult, yet still being able to get along with them amicably without changing one's expression."
After hearing his analysis, Sirocco felt...
Huh? I guess I am pretty weird?
so what.
"Thanks to my method, you were able to become stronger so quickly. You should thank me, Cass."
"Hehehe...really, I didn't praise you."
Cass chuckled.
Perhaps it was because I was forced to look at Cass's face many times during that hour.
The smile before him unexpectedly reminded Sirocco of someone.
Her hair color is similar to Cass's, but a lighter shade of shimmering blue.
It was clearly that tacky, generic guy grinning like an idiot, so why did I think of...?
Cass's sister?
Sirocco lowered his head in thought.
Speaking of that DLC, that really heavy-handed DLC, Cass's sister never woke up until the very end. The only consolation was that she didn't regain consciousness while she was suffering.
Oh, I understand.
Back then, I wondered what Cass's sister would look like smiling if she hadn't suffered such a tragedy...
Most of the time, it's like this: a simple yet somewhat naive silly smile.
I remember that little sister's name was—
"Katia....."
Sirocco blurted out the name instinctively.
Cass's body stiffened instantly.
If you complete the main storyline quickly enough, you might be able to save Katya.
I'm also very interested.
We couldn't see it in the game, but now that it's in the real world, we have the chance to catch a glimpse of Katya's beautiful face when she's awake.
Sirocco was just about to ask about Cass's sister when he looked up—
Why are you crying again?
Is Cass really such a thoughtful person?
When Sirocco recalled those days together, he was truly prone to tears.
So sensitive?
"Eh?"
Cass touched his face, his eyes welled up with tears, his nose tingled, and tears streamed silently down his face.
Testimonials
First of all, I want to thank my readers for their continued support. Several of them have been especially kind to me, and I am truly very grateful.
I am also extremely grateful to my editor, Gu Wang, for his tremendous help. Thanks to him, who spent over a month revising the book, it became somewhat readable.
I've read all your comments, and I'll read them again before bed to decide whether I'll be too happy to sleep tonight or too upset to sleep... I just can't sleep either way.
Just kidding, anyway, this is my first time publishing a product.
I'm so excited, but I can't prove how excited I am. It's even more exciting than when I used the Blood King's Fork to destroy the Valkyrie.
Let me briefly explain my situation.
I was thinking about ending the book from the very first day I started writing it.
Sorry, it sounds like nonsense, but that's really how I feel.
My only motivation was to finish writing the story.
Now that it's finally on sale, I can earn a little money, which gives me the motivation to finish it.
This is a story whose ending was decided from the very beginning.
I can't guarantee that I can write a plot full of twists and turns, making everyone feel as excited as if they were listening to a speech by the president. With my current level, all I can guarantee is to write until the end and complete this journey.
I hope that after reading this, you will feel "Is it really over?" instead of "Is it finally over?" That would be the best outcome.
To be honest, another driving force behind this book is the idea of Sirocco sending the consciousness of all the beauties flying to the ends of the earth.
I was initially confident I could write a million-word novel, but after trying, I realized that with my skill level, I'd probably only finish around 600,000 words (a rough estimate). That won't be enough time to finish it before the Old Man's Ring DLC is released and I can enjoy it fully. I'm still a little short of completing Bloodborne...
Ahem, sorry.
I know this amount of text is far from enough in the world of online literature, and I would appreciate it if you readers could accompany me on this short journey.
Finally, thank you again to all the readers! Thank you to the editor!
This is my first time publishing a book. As for monthly tickets and donations, please consider the situation. I'm just asking for a full subscription.
It is already a great honor for readers to be willing to walk with me.
57. Katya's Dilemma
"Sorry... That's strange... Hahaha... Maybe I was just too nervous..."
Seeing Cass cry, Sirocco felt a little annoyed.
He can't stand seeing women cry, and he can't stand seeing men cry even more.
"Okay, okay, here's another cup of hot cocoa for you."
"Mmm... thank you... it's delicious..."
Could it be that the thought of her sister lying in the hospital bed made her feel sad, and that's why she cried?
Although I'm also somewhat interested in seeing how his sister is doing, I don't want to have any contact with Victoria right now.
Because he was worried about his daughter, that person would always appear when Cass visited his sister.
