Shiba Inu LV2

The level of Stress tolerance, Fear resistance, Hostility perception, Crisis perception have all increased.

Yesterday so many things happened; but now that Im looking at it, the levels of my skills have risen considerably.

Though I faced death, there was some return.

Its not balanced at all.

By the way, its saying that I can acquire new skills.

Click on the Skill field.

Thereupon, besidesInitially available skill listtheres the new categoryAdditional available Skill list.

When I click on it, a new list appears.

List of the additional earned skills

Getaway, Defense instinct.

GetawayandDefense instincthuh..

Heavenly voice certainly said Meeting certain conditions.

Certain conditions..

Im trying to guess. My actions, circumstances or desire, in reality, create new skills?

The situation when they became available and the name these skills are too much for a coincidence.

In other words, facing various situations, it means theres the possibility of obtaining many skills.

Thats dangerous and I dont want to face it, but it might be worth a try.

But oh well, lets acquire the two new skills before that.

Click on the Getawayskill.

The cost is 2SP, do you want to learn the skillGetaway?

Are? 2 points?

Isnt it supposed to be 1?

After some clicks and tests, apparently, the initial skills are 1 point whereas the additional skills are 2 points each.

2 points..

Both skills are attractive and I should lose nothing by acquiring one.

The other one shall be learned when my level rise.

Lets get a hold onGetawayfor the time being.

The cost is 2SP, do you want to learn the skillGetaway?

Yes.

SkillGetawayAcquired.

Yosh, this should give me some help when I escape from monsters.

That skill is, but It hurts me a bit thinking that I cant test it without encountering another painful situation, I think this is the kind of effect the skill should have though.

Perhaps I should add, theres an expenditure of SP when I first learn a skill. But there are two methods to raise them afterward without spending. The first is by raising the level of my job, the level of skills concerned would rise accordingly. The second is when I reach a sufficient proficiency with a skill, its level will automatically increase.

That will save on my SP consumption.

The upfront investment is important, isnt it? Other than stocks. That would be a loss absolutely.

When my level goes up next, it may be good to learn the other skills early including all the initial ones.

Hm?

Unexpectedly, when I looked at Momo, it was staring at something from a sitting position.

Theres nothing in sight ahead. Theres only a wall.

Then it slowly began to hit the ground, PonPon.

What is it doing?

Momo? Why are you doing that?

When I talked to Momo, it faced toward me.

Wan!

Momo answers cheerfully.

Is there something to worry about?

Wan! Wan!

It looks really happy, rubbing her body on me and all.

Hmm? Whats the matter?

With its gesture, it seems to ask for some praise.

And the mysterious behavior of earlier. Does that mean..

Say, Momo. Do you mean, you got a newSkillmaybe?

Wan!

As soon as I told it, the tail violently begin to shake, saying that I was right.

Seriously? I was joking, but did you really acquire any new skills?

The Heavenly voice, I wonder if Momo can hear it too.

Are you sure? What kind of skill?

Wan!

Momo revolves around and jump a little farther away from me.

And right after, it does it and look at me again. So I say.

Etto, what do you mean?

Wafu!

Once again, it does the same thing.

Eh? What? What kind of skill is this?

Is it a skill that makes you turn and bounce?

Rotate and fly No way, that super famous doggy special move.

Wan! Wafuu!

Was vehemently denied.

It appears to be different.

Then, what kind of skill is it?

Momo did the same thing over and over but I didnt understand it.

Since I couldnt understand it, Momo is severely depressed.

Kuuuun

Im sorry, Momo.

Afterwards, I kept mopping for a while until it eventually managed to recover its mood.

Well then, shall we depart?

Wan.

I put all the furniture that I took out for the barricade in the Storage then Momo followed me outside.

The rain had stopped.

The morning sun is dazzling.

The smoke that was seen rising in some places have disappeared..

Thanks to the rain of yesterday, fires were pretty much extinguished.

I can see the town properly.

At the tip of my line of sight, I could see yesterdays shopping mall.

Do you think that High Orc is still there?

Otherwise, its possible they already moved to hunt more people.

I must raise my level already.

.. Hm?

Promptly, I sensed a reaction fromHostility perception.

But its not that big of a feeling.

In fact, compared to yesterdaysUnpleasant feeling, this time its more of aYou should be careful a little. kind.

This isnt on this floor, then.. at the first floor?

Since the level of my skill has risen, the range where I can perceiveHostilityincreased alongside.

Making use ofStealthy stepsandCovert action, I slowly descend the stairs.

By the way, Momos current status is to be in my embrace.

Its with this method that we quickly descend the stairs.

Wafun.

Momo seems to be in a good mood when Im holding it.

Stop it. Dont look at me with such eyes.

Itll be ever more difficult to release you!

We arrived at the first floor.

With an aching heart, I release Momo. Guu..

The reaction Hostility perception gives me come a little further ahead.

When I finally see it, I found its a monster near the parking lot.

Its a zombie..

The zombie roamed around the parking lot alone.

Theres no other monster in sight.

Im aiming for the right timing.

I take out the dumbbell from the Item box and approach in a stretch.

His head shatters.

Earning experience points

The zombie disappears, and the magic stone rolls.

Yosh, its a good sign.

Temporarily, lets make zombies and goblins the main target of our hunting.

Of course, in the opposite direction to that shopping mall. Safety comes first.
