Chapter 103: I have a favor to ask

Midnight. Everyone has fallen asleep.

I go to the innkeeper’s room.

Nell and Nancy are asleep.

Yotsuba is lying down, but she is awake.

“Nyaa— (Shine on the darkness. Light.)”

I create a ball of light outside the window.

It allows a little light to enter the room.

Yotsuba gets up.

The letterboard is placed in front of her, and I sit down next to her

[Good evening, Neko-san.]

Yotsuba touches the board and points to a greeting.

I write, [Good evening.]

There is something strange about people who can’t communicate with each other in this way.

[This may be sudden, but I have a favor to ask of you, Neko-san.]

[What is it?]

[I want equipment that will enhance my MP.]

Equipment that enhances MP?

The bracelet I have on hand can enhance ATK and MDF.

There are probably some bracelets that enhance MP, too.

[Sorry, I don’t have one.]

Yotsuba looks disappointed, then asks, [Can you help me with the power leveling?]

Yotsuba explained power leveling, when someone with a higher level accompanies someone with a lower level to help them level up.

Sylph baa-san says you’ll get experience and level up if you beat the strong ones.

[Okay.]

When Yotsuba does the level-up thing, perhaps her body will also become stronger.

In that case, she might be less likely to die of illness as she did the other day.

However, this is only a possibility.

[When I can earn money, I will compensate you for your help.

Is 40.000 Gold enough?]

[I don’t want any compensation.

I’m not desperate enough to beg a baby for money]

[Neko-san, are you often called kind?]

Shut up and leave me alone.

I’m aware that I have negative traits, too.

[We have about five more hours before Nancy-san wakes up.

I’ll help you until then.]

With Yotsuba strapped to my back with [Telekinesis], I ran through the night, leaving the town and entering the forest.
