Magical Explorer Chapter 105

How can a [Friend Character] like Takioto Kousuke benefit the [Protagonist] like Hijiri Iori?

In terms of ability, it would be the amount of his magical power. Except for Iori, he has an overwhelmingly higher amount of magic power than Ludi, the Saint, or president Monika who were already considered characters that possess a high amount of magic power themselves.

However, the amount of magic power he has to spend is also very large.

A lot of players would avoid using him just by seeing the amount of his magic power that keeps decreasing despite him not doing anything. To some of the players, the fact that his magic power keeps decreasing like that is inconvenient.

In a certain meaning since it could be considered to be his special power, so depending on how you use him he can be a useful character. Even so, because of the nature of an eroge, his usefulness is lower than the other female characters.

Next is his face. From the heroines' comment; he is pretty handsome if he can keep his mouth shut. His face is considered better looking than Iori who has cute facial features. That only applied to his face alone though.

Now then, In the game, that is pretty much all the point that Takioto is better than Iori.

There might be other points too but they are insignificant.

Right now, there is one point that the current Takioto Kousuke has that is overwhelmingly left Iori in the dust.

What is that you asked?

It is money and power.

At home, there is the person who is the embodiment of authority within the academy and the Magical Society, Hanamura Marino. That provided him with quite an influence. That influence is very helpful in making things run smoothly. If Marino-san hadn't laid the groundwork for me, it wouldn't be such smooth sailing.

Now I am a member of the three committees, that will provide me with a new kind of power called the Shikibukai. With the power of the Shikibukai, my range of activities has expanded. Now I can access the dungeon that I want to visit.

Then what about money?

Money is a nice thing to have. If you could stock up on consumable items, you could hardly struggle with the early game monster even if you are underleveled and poorly equipped. I would never even consider such a high-level plan like solo capturing the Tsukuyomi dungeon if I haven't possessed such money.

If I didn't have the money, there's no doubt that I would have gone to other dungeons to earn some first.

I have earned the money in the game before so there shouldn't be a problem if I allocate some time to do it. If I have the time that is.

There are many ways to earn a huge amount of money like doing an RTA but some of the methods are quite morally wrong. In a lot of meanings, the method that is quite impressive is that [Store] event.

In Magiero, you can own your own [Store] depending on the event you encounter. In that store, you can sell your used equipment and the like to other students and adventurers.

When I consider making my own store, I can't see myself doing it considering the time and risk (monetary) it will take. Iori might though.

Iori has some leeway from hunting the monsters but that is still a very small leeway. He surely has a lot of expenses. Money to upgrade his equipment, consumable items, and advancing the event.

Just by thinking about it, I can come up with a lot of things.

If Iori makes his own store then I will definitely give him a visit and buy his merchandise. It would be nice to help around his store too.

On that point, I have an advantage over him. There are weapons lying around the Hanamura house and I have that incredible amount of pocket money too.

Also, the reward for soloing the 40th floor of Tsukuyomi dungeon is also tremendous.

The awarded points and the point I got from selling off the magic stones and equipment I gathered, I have a tremendous amount of Tsukuyomi points.

I would have to turn in the points for the money if I want to use it outside the academy but it has quite a cost considering the conversion fee and the exchange rate.

Realistically speaking, the revenue of owning a condominium alone is on the level that you can play around without doing anything.

"Based on that……….how should I plan out my future."

Since I have both money and authority, there are a lot of things I can do. However, there will definitely be some deviation.

The event of the three committees is very different depending on the faction you join. Moreover, depending on your recommendation, the people who will later join the three committees will also change. If you haven't done a very difficult task of flag management, there will surely be a situation where you have to shout [Why the h.e.l.l did you join that faction!!]

Also, even if I joined the Shikibukai, I can still get the events of the other factions. However, depending on the faction you joined, the content of those events will also change. Some events exclusively belong to the public moral committee and the student council as well.

Now, the most uncertain factor for the events of the three committees is undoubtedly me.

I am concerned that some events will not occur because of the fact that I, the embodiment of uncertainties has joined the three committees.

If that's the case then I might have to forcefully advance the event myself. If I don't do that then there's a possibility that the event's content will become troublesome later and since I have become a member of Shikibukai, it is better to work myself toward that.

However, there are events that will almost certainly occur. It is an event that will never occur unless you join the Shikibukai. You could say that it is a compulsory event.

If it's her then she will come charging in. She will definitely be charging in.

She has been behaving herself until recently. However, if the grades are public and she knows that I took first place in the entire school year then she will definitely stop behaving herself.

The person that can be paired up with Shion-san in terms of their disregard for the academy uniform. A domineering Ojou-sama that wears the dress all year long with a croissant-like drill hairstyle. That character who could pull off a high-pitched laugh.

Iori from the game said it himself, she is…………..

My train of thought broke when I heard someone knocking on the door. It was Ludi.

"Kousuke, are you ready?"

That's right. Today is the ramen outing with Ludi.

Author Note: I am currently planning the events for the student council, public moral committee, and the Shikibukai respectively. It seems like the Shikibukai will have a lot of strong characters.
