The Divine Power of Comprehensive Comics

Didn't you say you want it to be the same as me? What I want is medium rare.

...then...then I want the same thing!

Raphtalia puffed up her cheeks and said willfully like a child.

No, she originally had the character of a child. Even though she now looks like an eighteen-year-old girl, she still doesn't know how much her character has changed.

Xia Qing doesn't know much about this. Many demi-humans in this world suddenly grow up after their level reaches a certain level.

With such questions in mind, Xia Qing walked into the restaurant.

The steaks in this restaurant taste quite good and the portions are quite generous, probably because beef is not precious.

After that, Xia Qing took Raphtalia to the unvisited forest on the other side not far from the town. The monsters there were much higher level than the forest they found before by walking straight from the city gate.

The higher the level of the monster, the more experience points you gain.

After spending a total of three days here, Raphtalia's level was raised to LV.29.

After that, the experience points obtained became lower and lower, and the monsters that were previously relatively high-level were now much weaker.

Chapter 23: Exclusively for Villains

A few days later, Xia Qing returned to the weapon shop again to pick up the equipment that had been completed.

Hey, little brother, you are here.

Is the equipment complete?

That goes without saying! It's already been prepared and waiting for you to come.

The boss said as he took out a piece of armor from behind the counter.

I saw a piece of armor that looked both rough and ferocious... and could also be said to be full of wildness appeared in front of me.

The skirt of the clothes is made of soft wool, sewn with processed animal skin, and the chest is inlaid with an iron plate made of expensive magic iron.

The joints that cannot be protected by metal are sewn together with the skin of the porcupine monster.

If you reach into the armor, you can find that between the two porcupine monster skins stacked front and back, they seem to be filled with bhikkhu feathers.

It looks like it's only for villains...

Xia Qing couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth and said loudly.

Why are you still saying such things now?

The boss patted Xia Qing on the shoulder and laughed.

Even if you don't wear this, those people outside will still regard you as a villain.

...

Forget it, it's not bad.

Xia Qing stopped complaining about this piece of equipment and turned to look at Raphtalia, who had already put on new armor.

The main area of ​​protection is the chest. For the lightness of the body, protection such as shoulder armor and helmet are abandoned.

With her slender figure paired with appropriate equipment, she has the look of a Valkyrie.

Well, it suits you very well.

Xia Qing put her chin on her head and praised without hesitation.

Well, thank you, Lord Xia Qing...

For some reason, Raphtalia, who was praised in this way, lowered her head shyly.

Xia Qing narrowed her eyes slightly, coughed, and changed the subject.

By the way, there seems to be an atmosphere of tension hanging over the town outside the city.

Maybe it's because the wave is about to hit, huh? Didn't I get notified?

Notification of what?

The boss explained quickly.

As long as you go to the square, you can see the clock tower managed by the state, right? The one displayed over there is the Long Carved Sand Clock.

It is said that when the sand in the hourglass runs out, the heroes and their companions fighting side by side will be teleported to the location where the wave of disaster occurs.

Oh, that...

When Xia Qing was mentioned like this, he thought about it.

Not a single bit of news about the coming wave of disaster from the king reached Xia Qing, which shows how much this guy hates this shield.

If this is correct, a celebration banquet will be held after this wave, and the king should be present...

Xia Qing narrowed her eyes slightly and began to make calculations.

Would you like to go there and take a look? It is said that the Long carved sand clock will specifically show the specific time when the disaster wave occurs.

The boss suggested.

makes sense.

It was a good thing to know something specific. Xia Qing nodded and then took Raphtalia there.

Farewell, boss.

Come again next time.

After thanking the boss, Xia Qing set off for the clock tower.

The clock tower located at the highest position in the town outside the city is a building that becomes increasingly gigantic the closer you look at it.

The bell tower stands above a dome-shaped building that looks like a church.

Maybe you can visit freely, but the door is open and people are coming in and out in an endless stream.

A woman who looked like a receptionist and was wearing a nun's uniform looked surprised as soon as she saw me.

You are the Shield Hero, right?

Yes, the deadline is almost up, so let's take a look at the situation.
