Confess System: Picking Up Girls After Girls, Try Not to Get Killed!



"A gift?"

Tyler's eyes widened in surprise. He hadn't expected that these craftsmen could spare the time to do this amidst their busy work schedule.

They were a truly adorable group of elderly gentlemen.

As he expressed his gratitude, Tyler opened the gift to find a cloak inside. 

From the outside, it was made of a matte black fabric, while the inner lining was a delicate dark red leather.

"You've worn out your old black cloak. We took the dragon skin you brought and other materials to create a new one for you. Why don't you try it on and see if it fits?"

Unable to refuse the craftsmen's enthusiastic offer, Tyler draped the cloak over his shoulders. The measurements were just right - these craftsmen certainly had an eye for detail.

"You guys have really put in a lot of effort, thank you so much…"

Tyler was so moved that he was at a loss for words. The cloak was not only discreet and high-quality, but its equipment effects also left him in awe.

━━━━━━━━━

Equipment Name: Crimson Dragon Cloak

Equipment Effects:

1 Equipment requirements: Intelligence 200, Dexterity 200;

2 If equipper's attributes do not meet the requirements, it cannot be used;

3 Attribute Gain for the equipper: Dexterity +30, Intelligence +30.

4 Resistance Gain for the equipper: Fire Resistance +50, Poison Resistance +20, Mental Resistance +10.

━━━━━━━━━

Of particular importance was the "Mental Resistance" concept. 

This allowed Tyler to determine that the Prison Star world must have some form of mental control magic or secret technique, which he must guard against.

Tyler thanked everyone and accepted the Crimson Dragon Cloak.

During a long journey, a cloak could not only shield from wind and rain, but also conceal weapons, armor, and items on one's person. It was a must-have for travellers.

The cheerful craftsmen said that it was they who should be thanking Banning. 

For these old craftsmen, it was difficult for them to break new ground at their age.

If Banning hadn't come to Sunny Town and brought so many interesting and novel materials, they wouldn't have had the chance to challenge themselves.

What these craftsmen pursued was not wealth or fame, but whether they could elevate their craftsmanship to a higher level in their lifetime.

These days, it was Banning who brought the dragon materials that helped them achieve this wish.

Moved by the craftsmen's sentiments, Tyler shook hands with each of them, promising that he would bring more interesting materials back to Sunny Town.

The craftsmen were moved to tears. They made a vow filled with grandeur that even if their bodies grew old and weak, they would wait until they could craft another piece of equipment for Banning before they died!

Not knowing how to thank the craftsmen for their enthusiasm, Tyler quietly left two gold coins and a note on the workbench, then left the equipment shop amidst enthusiastic farewells.

.

(Silly Nissen: Tyler... You are a capable lad, not only capable of handling Granny, but also Grandpa. I must have underestimated you in the past.)

(Tyler: You wouldn't understand, this is romance that only a man would know.)

Leaving the equipment shop, Tyler was filled with some measure of exhilaration... Indeed, a man remains a youth till death.

Subsequently, Tyler visited the ornament workshop and obtained the improved version of the binocle. Regrettably, due to the purity of the materials, the improved binocle was still somewhat unsatisfactory. 

Tyler thanked the ornament maker, left his previous trial product as a memento, and after bidding him farewell with the improved version, he departed.

(Later, when I visit a larger city, I should find a more skilled craftsman.)

.

With all tasks taken care of, Tyler finally arrived at the stables.

Looking at Moto-chan who had quietly leveled up by two (Lv6+2↑), Tyler wasn't surprised at all. 

A horse is a reflection of its owner, even in the case of warhorses, Moto-chan was the most disciplined of the lot.

The only thing Tyler was curious about was how Moto-chan gained experience every night. Could it be hunting the remnants of the carrion rats? 

Unfortunately, Moto-chan did not yet possess the ability to speak. Otherwise, Tyler could have chatted with him in the evilkind language.

"Let's go, Moto-chan. We are in for a long journey." 

Upon hearing about the lengthy journey, Moto-chan was thrilled and let out a series of excited neighs. A warhorse needs to gallop to find the joy of being a horse.

Before setting off, Tyler fitted Moto-chan with the improved version of the horse armor, which he had specially made by a leatherworker a few days before. 

Wearing the new horse armor, not only would Moto-chan feel more comfortable, but Tyler could also hang all the equipment and tools that were temporarily not in use on Moto-chan. This way, he could significantly reduce his load and improve agility in battle.

.

Riding Moto-chan, Tyler arrived at the northern exit of Sunny Town. All he needed to do was to head north, and he would reach Delis Town in seven days.

(Silly Nissen: Are you really going, Tyler? The unfamiliar streets in the "Precognitive Death Scene" might be in Delis Town.)

The usually playful loli was uncharacteristically serious, and what she was worried about was indeed what Tyler had thought of.

(Tyler: That's exactly why I have to go.)

Regarding the "death due to unknown reasons in Delis Town", Tyler had a different understanding.

Based on the current information, Tyler surmised that the person who would kill him was likely to be related to the Shadow Serpent Society. 

Given that Granny Kasi had betrayed the Shadow Serpent Society, Tyler could not determine whether "Earthly Ghost" had arranged a new watcher to keep an eye on him. But even if he had been targeted, there was nothing unusual about it.

Since his whereabouts were no secret in the eyes of "Earthly Ghost", no matter where he went, he could "again" die for unknown reasons. 

Based on this judgment, Tyler counterintuitively thought that going to Delis Town was the "safest". At least concerning the "death future of Delis Town," he had already obtained information about the moment of death.

What was left was to surpass the self in this future.

"Let's go, Moto-chan!" The determination in Tyler's voice was infectious, and Moto-chan neighed high-spiritedly, then gradually galloped on the dirt road.

Several sparrows flew over at this moment, circling around Tyler, as if bidding him farewell.

(Farewell, Sunny Town.)

(Wish you all the best, Emilia.)

.

Simultaneously, upon the path leading towards Delis Town, a meticulously decorated white carriage was jostling along the dirt road. 

A monstrous four-cornered giant hart was carved on the upper part of the carriage's side window, a symbol of the Snowy Hart family, known to all within the Wester Kingdom.

The Snowy Hart Family, as one of the five major families within the Wester Kingdom, held their territory to the north of the Azure Lizard family, enjoying a nationwide reputation. 

Currently seated within the carriage was the second young lady of the Snowy Hart Family, Vanessa Snowy Hart.

Vanessa, now twenty-one years of age, had been exchanged to the Azure Lizard Family a decade before, but she had always retained her identification as a member of the Snowy Hart Family in her heart. 

Her current journey to Delis Town for the extermination of the "Labyrinth: Aqua Nest" was as the second representative of the Azure Lizard family, but also as the first representative of her own Snowy Hart Family.

— (No matter what, by any means necessary, I must prove my capabilities.)

Vanessa thought to herself as she took off the horned hat from her own head, placing it over the doe spirit sleeping by her side.

Besides this doe spirit, on either side of Vanessa's feet, two more doe spirits were sleeping. 

The ability to simultaneously control three doe spirits, even within the main house of the Snowy Hart Family, was a rare talent.
