SHE IS BAAAACK! The light speed stalker!

That was so fast I laughed out loud.

I shouldn’t be laughing.

Rifreya-chan is looking crazy upset here.

The people around are startled.

This is the first time I see someone showing mortification by biting a handkerchief.

I want them to say what’s happening with Nanami-chan.

There’s only a few days left till the transfer, right?

She already said she is being made to train as if her life depended on it.

Celica did.

Nanamin is not even showing up in the streams, so there’s theories that she is so exhausted she can’t even show up.

Hikaru and Jeanne are not noticing at all and doing Love-Love Twin Birds.

This is bad!

The gorget plate is nice.

It looks like he has bought a pretty expensive one.

He earned a crazy ton, so it should be easy for him.

-34: Anonymous from Earth

Explorers really can earn, huh…

-35: Anonymous from Earth

It must be a serious model for frontliners.

Jeanne-chan is a tank, so she gotta have a proper one.

-36: Anonymous from Earth

They are putting their lives on the line there, so they gotta earn a lot…

But won’t the guild be troubled if you can earn such a dirty sum of money in the 2nd Floor?

-37: Anonymous from Earth

In the Gran Alismaris guild, when you raise your rank, you can’t sell Spirit Stones from shallower floors.

It is probably the same in Meltia. You don’t see strong explorer parties in the 2nd Floor, right?

-41: Anonymous from Earth

Hikaru is still in bronze rank, so he can sell 2nd Floor stones like crazy, but at this rate, he might be able to go up to silver or gold rank in less than 1 month.

You most likely can just barely have them buy your 2nd Floor stones as a silver, and they wouldn’t buy your 1st Floor stones.

-45: Anonymous from Earth

What’s with that system that has no merits for the explorers?

-49: Anonymous from Earth

There are merits. When you become mithril or higher, once you retire, you can get an annuity from the guild.

So I say, but it is calculated from the earnings you got after you become mithril though.

You also get favorable treatment in the buying price of things, and you get fame too.

-53: Anonymous from Earth

Most of all, even if you are an illegal otherworlder, you will get the chance to become a citizen.

In the end, no matter the world, power is justice.

It is a muddy and clingy gaze!!

Mithril is an interesting material.

There’s mostly only thin and flimsy steel sheets, right?

-69: Anonymous from Earth

It is a special steel material made by elves after all.

Well, the hellfire steel is also a special steel material made by Great Spirits though.

-75: Anonymous from Earth

The mithril estoc for Lynxes is apparently super difficult to make. That’s what an otherworlder blacksmith said.

On the contrary, the hellfire steel is apparently manageable.

-76: Anonymous from Earth

The only thing the blacksmiths have to do are the finishing touches for the hellfire steel after all.

Those finishing touches are pretty harsh too, but you can manage somehow with patience and muscles…

-79: Anonymous from Earth

He gifted her something that went for as much as 2 gold…

Isn’t that a memorable location for Rifreya?

It is the store that his ex-girlfriend told him about, and he is now giving a present to his present girlfriend. Isn’t that grounds for a scolding???

There’s peeks of Rifreya-sama outside the window every now and then, LMAO.

Watching both the Jeanne and Hikaru streams simultaneously is already the basics of a viewer, but this camerawork is way too godlike.

On the Hikaru side, it only shows Hikaru and Jeanne a bit further away.

But the Jeanne side has the camera positioned right in the opposite direction.

In the camera of Hikaru, Rifreya-sama is shown.

In other words, the Hikaru side is the Rifreya POV.

-115: Anonymous from Earth

Lol, Jeanne has noticed the gaze.

The speed in which Rifreya hides is also hilarious.

-118: Anonymous from Earth

Her stalker level is way too damn high.

-119: Anonymous from Earth

Who was the one by her side?

She looks similar to her, so maybe her mom?

-121: Anonymous from Earth

Or rather, why isn’t she coming out?

Is she going to come out after getting damning evidence?

-125: Anonymous from Earth

In the eyes of Rifreya-sama, it has only been 10 days since she believed and departed from him, and yet, he is already with another woman. The reality here is that she doesn’t understand at all what’s going on right now.

-128: Anonymous from Earth

Hikaru did say something similar to ‘I won’t be going out with anyone’ after all…

He had a really gloomy atmosphere and, moreover, she came back worried whether he was even alive…

This treason can’t be forgiven!!!

Rifreya-chan is beginning to look pitiful.

And yet, I can’t stop laughing.

There isn’t stuff like that in Japan.

I think you can only find that kinda stuff in some parts of Asia.

What place on Earth has the closest weather to the one around here?

-148: Anonymous from Earth

Turkey or Greece; I heard it is close to those ones.

When I look at it closely, the textiles are prosperous, and there’s stuff like carpets being sold.

Hikaru and Jeanne are not seeing that at all though.

-152: Anonymous from Earth

They are modern people after all, or like, children.

If they were to go: ‘this detailed fur fabric! This avant-garde handle!’ I would be scared though.

-155: Anonymous from Earth

If it isn’t a Chosen who has an interest in that stuff, they won’t even look at that part of the culture which is painful.

I would like people from the 2nd batch with wide interests to come to Meltia.

-158: Anonymous from Earth

It is nice that there’s a lot of variety in the food.

There’s wheat, potatoes, meat, and fish; or more like, if we exclude the Spirit Energy, it is almost the same as Earth.

-160: Anonymous from Earth

The eastern Roshesill Continent even has rice.

Because of the blessing of the Spirit Energy, they also ripen well.

Rice isn’t getting imported as expected.

It might be, but it probably isn’t on demand.

You normally wouldn’t think of eating some unknown white grain.

Roshesill is far from Ringpill after all…

It is a distance like that of moving from Europe to the Far East.

It would be impossible unless you buy a bike with Points.
