Kaifuku Shoku no Akuyaku Reijou - Chapter 4

After being sentenced to be exiled, I left our home feeling refreshed. When I gazed up at the sky, I saw a sea of stars, as if the heavens were praising me for being free of the game scenario. I’m overjoyed that I can truly see and feel the cityscape, and I want to linger at it for a while.

“Even if I wanted to leave the city right now, there wouldn’t be any carriages at this time.”

I considered departing this kingdom in a horse-drawn carriage, but that won’t be possible until tomorrow morning. When I left our house, I bought enough money to last me a while, so I could merely stay at an inn, but because of how noticeable my attire was, if His Highness Ignacia ordered his soldiers to seek for me, they would be able to find me quickly.

What exactly should I do?

The night is growing so dark that numerous drunks are staggering through the streets, making it difficult for a woman to travel alone. I can use my expertise from when I played this game, but with my low level and lack of equipment, I doubt I’ll be able to defeat any thugs.

While I was going and thinking about how much trouble I was in, I observed a shopkeeper from an armor shop seeing off adventurers out the door. The shopkeeper then put his hand on the sign on the door and changed it to close.

“Uncle, please wait a minute!”

I dashed up to the armor shop and exclaimed, “I wanted to buy something!” If I can’t buy anything here, I’ll most likely have to wait until tomorrow morning.

I went to an armor shop instead of a tailor shop because I want to be an adventurer. I want to see the world, see the various landscapes it has to offer, feel the atmosphere, and to go on adventures.

I can’t stop myself from becoming thrilled when I think about it.

“You want to shop, miss? But it’s past the store’s closing time… well, I guess it’s okay if it’s just for a little while.”

“Thank you very much!”

It appears that the adventurer who left earlier was a regular customer. I let out a sigh of relief and entered the armor shop.

The armor shop sells equipment for adventurers. The shop sells a wide range of merchandise, including leather armor and plate mail for the vanguard, as well as numerous garments for the rearguard. Near the counter, there appear to be brooches, rings, and other accessories.

I gazed around the shop with excitement. I really wanted to see every nook and cranny of this place, but because it was going to close, I couldn’t stay long and take my time, so I hurried to the location where the robe I wanted would most likely be.

I’m concerned about the disparity between my current reality and the realm of the game I played.

What happened earlier during the evening party was clearly inspired by the otome game “Rias Love”.

The otome game “Rias Love” is a spin-off of the world’s most popular VR open world MMO otome game “Rias Life Online”, also known as “Reas”.

The key distinguishing feature of these two games is that, while the general structure differs, the mechanics and other aspects of the game are essentially the same. In summary, what could not be done in “Rias Love” due to the game system issue may now be done in “Reas”.

One such example is the job-change system.

Jobs in “Rias Love” are fixed, whereas jobs in “Reas” can be changed. The conditions for changing occupations vary based on the job, but it is not difficult.

Suddenly, I remember the words of His Highness Ignacia.

“Since you’re a Dark Mage, why don’t you just pray for peace in the world?” If that’s the case, I’ll just change my profession to archbishop and become a support.

Although it seems like I’m doing what His Highness Ignacia told me to do, but in reality I’m also a support in “Reas”. So I didn’t just choose to be a support out of a whim, it’s just that I like supporting people.

To be honest, I’m very proud to be a support. One day, I’ll return to this realm and look for His Highness Ignacia; if we meet, I’ll just smile and ask, “Is His Highness Ignacia’s job still a knight…”

Although it is easy to change jobs, doing so requires traveling to the neighboring country, the Holy Kingdom of Elenzi, which is hostile to the Fabrum Kingdom. This means that regardless of what occurs, His Highness Ignacia will be unable to change his job.

“Oh! I must find the robe as soon as possible.”

I paused my thoughts and returned to finding the robe I was seeking for.

I then noticed two pieces of equipment that I remembered seeing in the game: the Leather Robe and the Rabbit Flower Cloak; there are also other pieces of equipment around that I can’t recall the names of. In comparison, the same sort of equipment from the original game is of higher quality than its counterpart here.

“I hope they have the robe for beginners. I wonder if they have it. Oh! They do!”

My eyes brightened up as I saw the robe I was looking for.

It’s a black robe with two bells as adornment. The robe features a charming cat ears and a paw motif on the chest. This is called the Cat Robe it is an outstanding piece of equipment that boosts the wearer’s attack and movement speed, allowing them to evade assaults from weaker monsters.

However, it’s a bit embarrassing to wear it in public.

“Miss, have you decided what to buy?”

The shop owner approached me as I was holding the Cat Robe and gave me a funny look.

“You are the first person to choose this robe. What exactly is your job?”

“I’m a professional Healer!”

That’s just a plan for now.

When I told the shopkeeper the job that I was going to change soon, his eyes widened with surprise.

“You know that isn’t a robe used by a Healer, right?”

Some garments have additional effects that can boost the effectiveness of healing skills. As a result, the shopkeeper appeared to believe that it would be best if I purchased such types of robes.

He attempted to give me another robe, but I stopped him and simply smiled, saying that the robe I chose was adequate.

“Right now, my level is still quite low, so I want to prioritize speed over a boost to my recovery skills. I’ll buy the proper equipment for a healer once I level up enough.”

“I see… it’s true that the Cat Robe not only increases your speed, but also your jumping power, so it might be useful if you want to avoid monster attacks.”

The shopkeeper was impressed by the Cat Robe’s versatility. Even in Reas, many players felt the Cat Robe was only a cute decorative item, but when it was utilized to instruct low-level players, it became quite popular. Its popularity soared as more players discovered its usefulness as a piece of equipment.

However, it appears too cute to be worn by a rugged-looking man.

“Can I try on this robe? I would also like to have some clothes to use along with this robe, since I have to leave town tomorrow.”

“I don’t have much in stock, but feel free to choose.”

The shopkeeper then pointed to a shelf in the rear, saying, “It’s over there.”

There are several of them in various calm colors; I chose a thin undergarment and a thick off-white dress to wear under the Cat Robe.

After changing in the dressing room, the Cat Robe looks really cute on me and it compliments my neat appearance. Having a robe with cat ears sticking out is a little embarrassing when I’m walking around town, but because of the effect, I have no choice but to put up with it if I want to live as an adventurer.

Ugh, this is embarrassing.

“Oh! “That looks great on you.”

The Cat’s Robe costs 30,000 lis, while the underwear and dress cost 7,000 lis.

Their price is exactly the same as in the game.

In Reas, a Cat Robe could be purchased from an NPC. Of course, the equipment dropped by monsters or produced by players is superior to the equipment sold by NPCs, but given the price difference, purchasing equipment from an NPC is extremely reasonable, especially if you are a newbie.

After paying, I exited the armor shop.

All that remains is to find an inn, spend the night there, and leave the city by carriage the next morning. My goal is to reach the Holy Kingdom of Elenzi, which serves as the base for support jobs.
