ment that monsters dropped.
But they weren’t a complete set.
If you only cared about stats when equipping them, the overall look would be pretty lame.
In that case, while plain, I thought that I would rather wear the beginner set for now.
Besides, I had some fond memories attached to it.

“Still, this Spider Shooter is a good bow, even now.”

“If that’s what you say, Mister Kyuji, then I won’t argue with you.
In any case, I have to talk to Mister Yu about my repairs as well…”

Satomi was holding back laughter as he entered the workshop.
But I really did think that it looked good on me…this beginner set.
However, I could also admit that it wasn’t very good in terms of stats.
And so until the Windcloud set returned, I would concentrate on the trials that didn’t involve combat.

“Um…do you have a minute?”

It was one of the heavenly maidens from the workshop.
They took on the jobs that ordinary craftsmen could do, and so she asked me if there was anything she could repair or evolve that wasn’t rare.

I looked at the window that appeared and searched for something.
But the Windcloud set was more than enough for me, and doing something to my other equipment would require materials.
I didn’t want to upgrade something mediocre and run out of materials that I might need later on…

“Ah, could you evolve this one?”

“Yes, certainly!”

And like that, she ran back into the workshop.
I heard ‘finally, some decent work’ being muttered from within.
But I pretended not to hear it.
Now, I wonder how long it would take to evolve ordinary equipment.

“It’s finished!”

“It is!?”

Apparently, it was just rare equipment that took so long.
I accepted the Spider Shooter: Cloud and checked it.

◆Spider Shooter: Cloud
Type: Two-handed Weapon(Bow)
Attack: 40
Range: 50
Weapon Skill: Web Cloud Arrow

Web Cloud Arrow
Unleashes an arrow that creates a sticky cloud net.
Can be activated 9 times a day without using any MP.

Compared to the Windcloud Bow, it was certainly a downgrade, but the Spider Shooter was a good weapon that I still used occasionally because of the weapon skill ‘Web Arrow’ that allowed me to slow down enemies.
And now, through the use of Cloud Spider Legs, which were a by-product of the previous hunt, I have been able to evolve it.
The bow used to have black hairs on it like a spider, but now they were white and fluffy.
It was still gross-looking at a glance, but it was actually quite soft and comfortable to hold.
And so I preferred it like this.

As for the stats, both Attack and Range had been raised by 20 points.
Of course, the biggest difference was the skill, ‘Web Cloud Arrow.’
And so I decided to test the effect in the testing ground they had right next to the workshop.
It was kind of like a small park where you could test weapons and skills.

“Web Cloud Arrow!”

The head of the unleashed arrow was round like a sphere.
The original Web Arrow was the same, and the sphere would explode when it reached the enemy, and a net would spring out.
The difference here was the size of the net.
Previously, when using it on a monster that was human-size, you would have to target the knees or the rest of the net would not reach the ground, but now it would be able to cover someone completely.
That meant it could be effective against larger monsters as well…!

Not only that, but the number of uses had increased from 8 to 9, and that was without using MP.
I had thought that the limit was 8 to make it the same as the number of legs a spider had.
8 was a lot already, but 9…

“Mister Kyuji.
I’m finished.”

“…Huh? Oh, that’s great!”

“It’s also going to take a little time to repair everything.
Though, not as long as yours… What are you going to do now? I’m going to explore the mountains a little more.
Even without my armor, I should be able to get by as long as Gochu is with me.”

“I’m thinking about continuing with the non-combat trials.
Oh, but I’m not actually sure which ones those are…”

“I can tell you of one that I know of if you want?”

…Hmm.
What should I do?
I suppose if he could do it without spoiling everything.

“Alright.
Could you just tell me the name and not what you have to do?”

“The name of the labyrinth is…Pisces.
It’s the Pisces trial.”

Pisces.
And no combat…
I had an idea of what that might mean.
And perhaps it wouldn’t be bad as my first trial for returning to the event.
Very well.
The next trial will be the Pisces labyrinth!
