Mebius World Online – Mari’s VRMMO Diary, Embarking on a Laid-back Adventure as a Novice - Chapter 165
165. Mari-nee and The Connection Between The Crimson
Thanks to Roulette-san’s suggestion, we decided to start leveling up.
However, since we needed to prepare the food we hadn’t made while away from the royal capital and repairl Gils from the injuries he sustained during the Moonlight Battle, we set the leveling up for one week later.
This also included upgrading Roulette-san’s equipment, now that she had become a ?True Raksasha?.
Incidentally, it was Kanna-san and Mareus-san who strongly insisted on the equipment upgrade.
They mentioned the word “celebration,” but their desperate expressions hinted at their true intention—to delay the grueling leveling up as much as possible.
With a wry smile, Roulette-san accepted their suggestion.
She even cheerfully offered to help make the equipment herself.
After watching the three of them disappear into the workshop, I focused on preparing the food that had been running low and spent time with Estelle-san. Yes, I said it twice because it’s important.
Over several days, I made enough food, and then I checked on the item that had been entrusted to me.
?Thread of Heaven?
- A heavenly thread imbued with three wills: wish, trial, and salvation.
- By wish, it extends infinitely, unbound by space, to fulfill any demand.
- By trial, it questions the user’s abilities, but grants commensurate blessings.
- By salvation, it brings about evolution for those whose souls are connected.
- (Equipment Traits): Space Permeation, Infinite Extension, Severe Blessing, Soul Ascension, VIT +3, AGI +15, DEX +40, INT +10, MID +20.
Judging by the description and the number of traits, it seems to be an incredible item.
I can somewhat understand the effects of Space Permeation and Infinite Extension from the explanation, but the other two remain unclear.
Well, I’ll just have to test it out and see for myself.
Even so, the stats that increase with these equipment traits are huge.
I was amazed by the ?Dragon Thread?, but this is about double that.
As I trembled at the thought of equipping something with such powerful performance, the mention of the ?Dragon Thread? reminded me of something important.
“That was close, I almost made the same mistake again.”
Calming myself, I checked it once more.
?Thread of Heaven?
- A heavenly thread imbued with three wills: wish, trial, and salvation.
- By wish, it extends infinitely, unbound by space, to fulfill any demand.
- By trial, it continuously questions the user’s abilities but grants commensurate blessings.
- By salvation, it brings about evolution for those whose souls are connected.
- (Equipment Traits): Space Permeation, Infinite Extension, Severe Blessing, Soul Ascension, VIT +3, AGI +15, DEX +40, INT +10, MID +20.
- (Equipment Requirement): Appropriate Third Job Class
“As I thought, there it is—an equipment requirement… but it doesn’t seem like an impossible condition, like needing a STR of 150 or something.”
I’ll be leveling up with everyone to reach a third job class anyway.
However, the word “appropriate” bothers me.
If my base class is a jester, will that be enough? Or do I need to pick a specific third job class…?
“Once we’re done with leveling up, I’ll have to visit Zela-san and ask her about it.”
With that plan in mind, I headed towards the home, just as the door connecting the annex to the main house opened, and Kanna-san and Mareus-san appeared.
“Is it finished?”
“Yes, it turned out beautifully!”
“Well, in the second half, Roulette got serious, and we were pretty much just there as extras.”
“We agreed not to talk about that, Mareus-chan!!”
“Ack—!”
Kanna-san landed a hook on both sides of his head, making it bounce like a ping-pong ball.
The suspicion about job fraud in the clan continues to grow…
“You two are as playful as ever.”
Roulette-san appeared with a soft chuckle. Her new outfit was simply stunning.
The outfit was made of crimson fabric matching her eyes, with gold thread trimming the edges, designed to follow the curves of her body.
The length was modest, stopping just above her knees, with a slight slit revealing black tights underneath.
These tights gradually transitioned into a deep blue as they reached her feet, harmonizing with her navy-dyed shoes.
Her long hair was tied up on the side, adorned with the rose crown she had earned as a special event reward.
The thick fabric clearly indicated it was meant for battle, yet the combination of Roulette-san’s stylish figure and the delicate color scheme made it look suitable for a formal gathering as well.
“You look incredibly beautiful, Roulette-san… Could the choice of colors be…?”
I discreetly asked, and after showing a slightly bashful expression, Roulette-san nodded.
“As expected, you noticed. I really wanted to incorporate the imagery from that moment.”
“I see.”
The crimson represents Roulette-san, while the black and deep blue represent the night sky, and the navy symbolizes that person, I suppose.
Even without her glasses, there remains a palpable sense of connection, and it warmed my heart…
