And so, my level had gone up. I safely reached level 25.
「Congratulationss」
「Thank you very much」
Since I leveled up, maybe today I would sit down on the sofa and have a proper talk.
I thought it would be rude to come every day and talk for a long time, so recently I only had my appraisal done and went straight home.
…Well, because of that, I almost left without thinking again today.
「Man, finally, finally level 25. What went up is Strength and Dexterity and Agility and――Agility!?」
Unbelievably, my Agility had gone up…
「Ahh, it’s rare for Alec-san’s Agility to increase」
「Yeah…」
It had been stuck at a pathetic 5 for a very long time, but it finally went up to 6…
Or rather, could this be… maybe my efforts in time attacks are finally paying off?
I wonder. It kind of feels that way.
Well, I am never doing that arrow-cutting marathon again, but maybe I can keep doing normal time attacks.
If I do that, someday I might finally escape being a useless slug.
「Personally, I want to keep raising Agility and Vitality like this and make my stats more balanced」
「Balanced, you say?」
「If possible, I want to raise everything evenly」
I just like that kind of stat allocation.
「Agility and Dexterity are 6 and 33, you know…?」
「…………」
Well, yeah. Right now, there is a huge gap, but someday I want to even it out. Someday.
「Ah, so about the phone――no, I mean, I’d like to borrow the communication magic tool」
「Sureー?」
Now that I safely reached level 25, I should call the World Tree Church headquarters. I need to tell Yggdrasil-san about this as soon as possible.
For some reason, Yggdrasil-san is extremely eager to see the exact moment when I get transferred to the heavenly realm for the roulette. I was even told, 『This time for sure, I’m counting on you』.
Yggdrasil-san always takes care of me. I really want to live up to those expectations. Honestly, it is about time I did.
That is actually why I trained so intensely over the past few weeks and came in for appraisals every day.
「Hm? Um…?」
「Yes」
「Uh… ah」
Right, I forgot the offering.
I wondered why Laudette-san was not moving at all, but now that I think about it, borrowing the communication magic tool also requires an offering.
If I remember right, the call fee was three times the appraisal fee.
「Then, please take this」
「Thank you very muchh. Please wait just a momentt」
「Yes. Please do」
When I handed over the coins, Laudette-san stood up and started moving… she picked up the communication magic tool that was sitting on a shelf in the room, then came back.
…So it was right there.
「Here you goo」
「Thank you. If I remember correctly, I can start the call just by opening the box, right?」
The communication magic tool was shaped like a jewelry box. I thought that once I opened the lid, I could immediately start the call.
「That’s rightt. If you replenish it with magic power and then open the box, you can talk with headquarterss」
「…Replenish it with magic power?」
「Yes. You can’t make a call unless you doo」
…It seems the communication magic tool is currently out of magic power.
Last time, I think Laudette-san had replenished it for me, but this time she apparently had not.
Could this mean I am supposed to replenish it myself?
Well, it’s not like I mind… but I am pretty sure there was a rule that Laudette-san replenishes it every morning… or so I thought.
◇
「That’s right. Yggdrasil-san told me I absolutely had to inform her」
「I wonder why?」
「Who knows. She is a god, after all, so it’s a bit beyond me」
I placed my hand on the magic stone of the magic tool and replenished it with my magic power.
While doing that, I made small talk with Laudette-san. The topic was about how I needed to inform Yggdrasil-san once I reached level 25.
Since I could not explain the real reason to Laudette-san, I just blamed it on Yggdrasil-san.
To be honest, I do not know why Yggdrasil-san wants to see my ascension scene so badly either.
「That’s why I have been stopping by the church every day lately. Sorry for bothering you day after day」
「Not at all, I’m free anywayy. …But if that’s the case, does that mean you won’t be coming tomorrow?」
「Yeah, that’s right. I think the next time I come will be in about two weeks」
「I seee. I’ll be waitingg」
「Huh? …Ah, yes」
She’ll be waiting…? She is looking forward to it that much…?
If she says that, then I have no choice but to come, no matter what.
「Mm, is it about ready?」
「Yes. I think it should be finee」
I had been pouring magic power into the communication magic tool for quite a while now. It should be enough.
「Alright then, I’ll start the call」
「Go aheadd」
After confirming with Laudette-san, I opened the lid of the magic tool and started the call.
After waiting a short while――
『Yes. This is the World Tree Church headquarters in the forest』
A voice came out of the box. It seems the connection went through just fine.
「Moshi Moshi, this is Alec from Meiyu Village――」
『Moshi Moshi!? Did you just say Moshi Moshi!?』
「Oh…」
Right. This world does not have the word Moshi Moshi. I absentmindedly used it again.
And the person at headquarters showed a strangely strong interest in the word Moshi Moshi.
Is this the same person I talked to last time…?
