By deciding to use a Shield as my weapon, there was only one choice among the countless weapons in “EnHaza,” more than the number of heroines.
The SR weapon, “Jet-Black Shield Caspary.”
Its rarity wasn’t that high, but it was the only Shield with the Dark Attribute.
Or rather, since hardly any players would choose a Shield, there were only four Shields in total across all rarities, with SSR being the highest rarity for Shield weapon cards. Moreover, those were of the Light Attribute, so there was no point in me, with the Dark Attribute, having them.
So, inevitably, the only choice for me to obtain was the “Jet-Black Shield Caspary.”
However.
“…When I heard from Prince Harold that he wanted to defeat that Demon Beast Caspary soon after starting training, my heart stopped,”
Alexandra said with a frown, in a solemn tone.
That’s right. “Jet-Black Shield Caspary” was a weapon card obtainable in a limited-time event in “EnHaza.”
Although Caspary was an event boss, the Demon Beast “Henwen” above it was the main raid boss of the event, so its strength wasn’t that great, and the rarity of the weapon card you could get wasn’t that good either, so I only collected it and never used it.
Well, it was a given that the strongest cards, like UR, could only be obtained through paid gacha.
But, with my current fighting style, I don’t think there’s a better weapon.
In addition to the physical and magical defense bonus from the weapon, the unique skill [Snatch] can be used.
This is the best skill for me, who defends constantly.
After all, it allows for ranged attacks with claws of darkness while in a defensive stance, and has an instant death effect (except for bosses) and the effect of snatching dropped items.
With Harold’s magical attack power, which rivals Raphael’s when maxed out, considerable expectations can be had for attack power as well.
“I’m sorry for worrying you… but, in order for me to become stronger, I absolutely need to defeat it.”
“I heard that, but…”
Alexandra pouted, unable to accept it, even though she had.
I couldn’t hide my joy at seeing her expression, which was never seen in “EnHaza,” and ended up worsening her mood even more. I should reflect on that.
“W-Well, that’s the situation, so I’ll prepare to head to the island where Caspary is as soon as possible.”
“Haa…”
Seeing me so eager, Alexandra and Monica sighed grandly.
It must be because I had only recently regained my memories of my previous life, and even before that, I was Harold, who knew nothing of the world.
I didn’t know.
How reckless it was to obtain the “Jet-Black Shield Caspary.”
◇
“That island you see over there is Moan Island, said to be where the Demon Beast Caspary lives.”
The town of “Banger,” which we reached after two weeks by carriage from the Royal Capital.
Alexandra pointed to the island, which was only a few hundred meters away.
By the way, I told the Royal Palace that I was going sightseeing and slipped out.
In the first place, King Aival and my mother Margaret aren’t interested in me, and the servants are refreshed by the absence of the usually arrogant me, so I surprisingly easily got permission to go out.
Monica, my Personal Maid, would inevitably accompany me, but Alexandra told her family, the Duke Chevalier family, that she was accompanying me as my fiancée, so she’s here with me on a sightseeing trip.
Both of them have more ability than the heroines that appear in “EnHaza,” so I don’t think they’ll be outdone by Caspary, who is only a mid-boss at best, but you never know what might happen.
When the time comes, I absolutely have to protect them.
That’s why I chose the weapon called Shield.
“Prince Harold, Young Lady. Arrangements have been made for a boat to Moan Island.”
Thanks to Monica, who took care of various procedures as soon as we arrived in the town of Banger, it looks like we’ll be able to cross over to the island soon.
Or rather, she usually teases me with jokes, but she’s definitely competent…
“What’s wrong? …Oh, I see. You’re plotting to switch from the Young Lady to me? If you raise my salary, I wouldn’t mind.”
“M-Monica!”
Well, she’s like this as soon as I let my guard down.
We’re about to fight Caspary, but there’s no sense of tension, but let’s just say that’s reassuring in its own way.
“T-This is the forest where Caspary is… A-Are you really going to the depths of the island…?”
“Yes.”
I nodded to the boatman, who asked with a worried expression.
In order to survive in this “EnHaza”… in order to maintain my engagement with Alexandra, I absolutely need to become stronger.
For that reason, I absolutely need the “Jet-Black Shield Caspary.”
By the way, all preparations have been made for the subjugation of the Demon Beast Caspary.
Since Caspary is of the Dark Attribute, I was deliberately equipped with the Light Attribute SR weapon, “Shield of Evalach,” so that I could deal with its attack skills.
Of course, I, with the Dark Attribute, can’t receive the benefits of stat bonuses, but it’s enough to just defend against Caspary’s attacks. I’ll focus on defense and leave the attacking to the two of them.
By the way, I secretly borrowed the “Shield of Evalach” from the Royal Palace’s treasury, so maybe they’ve noticed it’s missing and are making a big fuss about it. Yeah, I don’t know anything.
Alexandra was wearing heavy armor that didn’t suit her small body, and was carrying a heavy two-handed sword called “Balmung,” which is said to have been passed down through the Duke Chevalier family for generations.
It’s a weapon that doesn’t appear in “EnHaza,” but could it be a UR weapon or something? Is it okay to bring out a legendary weapon? I guess it is.
On the other hand, what worries me a little is Monica.
After all, she’s wearing her usual Maid outfit. Is it okay to fight a Demon Beast in that?
According to Monica, “A classic Maid outfit is the ultimate combat uniform,” and for some reason, even Alexandra didn’t deny it. My common sense doesn’t seem to work in this world.
Well, putting that aside.
“Now, let’s go.”
We took a step into the island where Caspary is… but.
“This is my territory! If you take even one step in, I’ll kill you, nya!”
…A black kitten is speaking human language and threatening us like crazy.
