Chapter 345 Part 3
What time is it now?
It’s 6:20 PM.
I did enjoy my onigiris and ohagi while on the move.
They were really good.
I’m almost tempted to go buy some more, but I want to prioritize hunting.
That’s what I have to do now.
So, where am I now?
This is the N1W6 Map.
It’s the most enjoyable place to fight around here.
Mainly in terms of hand-to-hand combat.
Alright.
This will be my lineup for night ground battles.
I’ll summon Volff, Goki, Senki, and Telomere.
And let’s add our new friend as well.
Summonable Monsters List:
Wolf
Horse
Hawk
Owl
Wood Puppet
Bat
Wood Golem
Beast Ape
Oni
Red Fox
Tiger
Viper
Skeleton
Slime
Mist
Lion
Great Turtle
Fairy
Giant Bee
Big Spider
Big Crab
Sea Ssnake
Mermaid
Giant Scorpion
Dolphin
Sword Squid
That’s strange.
The one at the bottom of the list.
Wait, wait.
Let’s prioritize my original goal now.
I will summon a new friend who will be suitable for my secret base.
This is it:
Chikamatsu Wood Puppet Lv1 (New!)
DEX 25
AGI 9
INT 16
STR 11
VIT 11
SPI 7
Skills
Bow Woodworking Magical Resistance [Slight] Self-Repair [Slight]
A Puppet-type.
The plan is to eventually have Chikamatsu manage that secret base.
If possible, I’d like to keep Bunraku with me so it can be my chef.
Ah, that’s right.
Let’s have it use Goki’s bow for now.
Well, this should do just fine.
Time to train our new friend.
《Summoned Monster『Chikamatsu』 Level Up!》
《Please add 1 point to a desired stat.》
Well, as usual, it’s Leveled Up after its first battle.
Our opponents are four Deva Warlords – A-Gyo.
Their strength is amazing.
I would’ve been bad if it hadn’t Leveled Up after this battle.
Chikamatsu’s DEX increased automatically upon leveling up.
Shall I choose AGI as its second stat increase?
Chikamatsu Wood Puppet Lv1 → Lv2 (↑1)
DEX 26 (↑1)
AGI 10 (↑1)
INT 16
STR 11
VIT 11
SPI 7
Skills
Bow Woodworking Magical Resistance [Slight] Self-Repair [Slight]
Well, Chikamatsu is meant to fight at the rear guard after all.
All it has to do is sneak in some attacks.
There’s no need to worry too much since Goki and Senki are at the vanguard.
I’ll fight in the vanguard as usual as well.
I’ll use Indra’s Secret Sword.
There’s a risk of taking damage.
In fact, I am indeed taking damage.
But I still want to end these battles quickly.
I want to increase Chikamatsu’s Level as fast as I can.
《Summoned Monster『Chikamatsu』 Level Up!》
《Please add 1 point to a desired stat.》
And after finishing the second battle, it’s already another Level Up.
This time was a pair of Lion Dogs – A-Gyo and Un-Gyo.
Do we need to be careful not to be targeted at the rear?
No, there’s no need for that.
We just need to defeat them before that happens.
What about Chikamatsu’s attacks?
It seems like two of its arrows hit.
But there’s no need to worry about its hit rate either.
Chikamatsu’s DEX increased automatically upon leveling up.
Let’s choose VIT as its second stat increase.
Chikamatsu Wood Puppet Lv2 → Lv3 (↑1)
DEX 27 (↑1)
AGI 10
INT 16
STR 11
VIT 11
SPI 8 (↑1)
Skills
Bow Woodworking Magical Resistance [Slight] Self-Repair [Slight]
Who should we be most cautious about on this map?
It’s those guys.
They’ll come eventually.
But you know what?
I have my countermeasure.
The Void Sphere spell.
That spell is very versatile.
《Summoned Monster『Chikamatsu』 Level Up!》
《Please add 1 point to a desired stat.》
Who were our opponents for our third battle?
It was those guys I was so worried about.
Fuutenki and Raitenki.
Even those at the rear guard cannot let their guard down against them.
We have to kill them while Void Sphere is still active.
Well, as long as Gravity Prison works, it’s not that difficult to take them down.
Chikamatsu also suffered some damage, we were able to finish that battle without incident.
Chikamatsu’s INT increased automatically upon leveling up.
I’ll choose DEX as its second stat increase.
Chikamatsu Wood Puppet Lv3 → Lv4 (↑1)
DEX 28 (↑1)
AGI 10
INT 17 (↑1)
STR 11
VIT 11
SPI 8
Skills
Bow Woodworking Magical Resistance [Slight] Self-Repair [Slight]
Is everything going well?
Yes, it’s going very well.
Chikamatsu has leveled up three times in three battles.
That’s very nice!
You can’t ask for better results than this.
Well, another Tokkosho would…
No.
I can’t be asking for that much.
Tokkosho…
Maybe…?
《Summoned Monster『Chikamatsu』 Level Up!》
《Please add 1 point to a desired stat.》
As expected, it didn’t seem like we were going to get four levels in only four battles.
Even so, we did get four Level Ups in less than an hour.
After all, the opponents we’re facing are strong.
Chikamatsu’s DEX increased automatically upon leveling up.
I’ll choose VIT as its second stat increase.
Chikamatsu Wood Puppet Lv4 → Lv5 (↑1)
DEX 29 (↑1)
AGI 10
INT 17
STR 11
VIT 11
SPI 9 (↑1)
Skills
Bow Woodworking Magical Resistance [Slight] Self-Repair [Slight]
At this rate, can we get its Class Change done tonight?
Probably not.
Is it too much to hope for that much?
No, no, no, no.
We won’t know until we try, right?
《【Two-handed Sword】 Level Up!》
《Summoned Monster『Chikamatsu』 Level Up!》
《Please add 1 point to a desired stat.》
What time is it?
It’s 9:20 PM.
I wonder if the accuracy of Chikamatsu’s arrows is also improving?
It still seems to struggle a little against the Lion Dog duo.
But against Deva Warlords, as well as the doujis and their fellow Dokkaku and Gohou, its arrows are hitting quite well, but…
Let’s just say that their damage isn’t anything to write home about.
At any rate, it’s earning experience points.
Let’s keep up the good work.
Chikamatsu’s DEX increased automatically upon leveling up.
I’ll choose SPI as its second stat increase.
Chikamatsu Wood Puppet Lv5 → Lv6 (↑1)
DEX 30 (↑1)
AGI 10
INT 17
STR 11
VIT 11
SPI 10 (↑1)
Skills
Bow Woodworking Magical Resistance [Slight] Self-Repair [Slight]
Well, what does it look like?
Will we make it to its Class Change by the end of the day?
No, we will.
Let’s believe it.
《【Steam Magic】 Level Up!》
《Summoned Monster『Chikamatsu』 Level Up!》
《Please add 1 point to a desired stat.》
What time is it?
It’s 10:40 PM.
Perhaps these Level Ups are happening faster because the enemies we’ve been facing have been of increasingly higher Level themselves?
Still, it might be difficult to get the Class Change done today.
But I won’t give up hope.
Let’s do as much as we can.
Chikamatsu’s DEX increased automatically upon leveling up.
I’ll choose INT as its second stat increase.
Chikamatsu Wood Puppet Lv6 → Lv7 (↑1)
DEX 31 (↑1)
AGI 10
INT 18 (↑1)
STR 11
VIT 11
SPI 10
Skills
Bow Woodworking Magical Resistance [Slight] Self-Repair [Slight]
And it looks like I Leveled Up my Steam Magic as well.
Should I set Indra’s Secret Sword to Dust Magic?
Anyway…
No items yet?
Well, all I want from these guys is another Tokkosho.
《【Dark Magic】 Level Up!》
《You have acquired the【Dark Magic】spell【Dark Vortex】!》
《Summoned Monster『Chikamatsu』 Level Up!》
《Please add 1 point to a desired stat.》
That’s right.
In the end, we persisted until we got to the Class Change!
And what time is it?
It’s 12:30 AM.
This is definitely a good time to call it a day!
I also Leveled Up my Dark Magic, and even acquired a new spell.
Huh?
Come to think of it, I haven’t even tried my newest Lava Magic spell yet, have I?
I’m being too careless!
Chikamatsu’s VIT increased automatically upon leveling up.
Let’s choose DEX as its second stat increase.
Chikamatsu Wood Puppet Lv7 → Lv8 (↑1)
DEX 32 (↑1)
AGI 10
INT 18
STR 11
VIT 12 (↑1)
SPI 10

《The Summoned Monster 『Chikamatsu』 has cleared the conditions for Class Change!》
《Please go to the Status Menu to access the Class Change options》
Here we go.
This is what we’ve been fighting so hard for today.
I feel a great sense of accomplishment.
Or rather, how did we even manage to come this far in one go?
Well, let’s leave that aside.
First, let’s use Fusion Identification.
《This Summoned Monster cannot be fused.》
Time to check things out.
Shall I take a look at each option?
Class Change options:
Metalskin
Automaton
For Bunraku, I chose Metalskin.
Do I really need to make any confirmations?
Chikamatsu Wood Puppet Lv8 → Metalskin Lv1 (New!)
DEX 32
AGI 10
INT 18
STR 13 (↑2)
VIT 14 (↑2)
SPI 10
Skills
[ ] Bow Woodworking Magical Resistance [Slight] Self-Repair [Medium] (New!)
【Metalskin】 Summoned Monster Battle Position: Ground
A puppet with metal-coated skin. It mainly uses weapons to attack.
Originally not intended for combat, but it can still perform well in battles.
A tireless and faithful servant.
《This Summoned Monster cannot be fused.》
Hmm…
This is not my top choice, but I had to check just in case.
So, the other one will be the better option then.
Chikamatsu Wood Puppet Lv8 → Automaton Lv1 (New!)
DEX 33 (↑1)
AGI 10
INT 19 (↑1)
STR 11
VIT 12

【Automaton】 Summoned Monster Battle Position: Ground
A puppet capable of more advanced actions. It mainly uses weapons to attack.
It can handle various chores skillfully. A tireless and faithful servant.
《This Summoned Monster cannot be fused. A Class Change is required.》
What about its empty Skill slot?
It’s meant to be filled with a Production skill.
Hmm.
This is crucial.
I should put in a skill necessary for it to serve as Bunraku’s replacement as the caretaker of the secret base.
Chikamatsu Wood Puppet Lv8 → Automaton Lv1 (New!)

This should do.
As the new manager of the secret base, I have high expectations for its future!
It’s gotten quite late, but let’s log out now.
Today was a significant day, with some surprises too.
And, regarding Summoned Monsters…
I can add one more to my roster.
Sword Squid, huh?
A Squid-type…
I can indeed summon it.
That’s fine and all, but…
It’s hard to abandon the idea of aiming for a Lesser Hydra.
But I need another empty slot for that.
This is something I’m worried about.
But let’s stop pondering for today.
Should I deploy an Instant Portal here and log out without delay?
