Chapter 4

Thank you for reading!

Fourth chapter of the new series!

“Haa… Haa…!”

I run with all my might towards home.

Away from that classroom, as if fleeing.

Away from those laughs, as if fleeing.

When I arrive home and open the front door with a burst of energy,

“Ah… welcome… back…”

My mother calls out hesitantly, but stops mid-sentence when she notices something is off about me.

I ignore her and rush into my room.

“Haa… Haa…”

I close the door and take deep breaths to steady my breathing.

“Ah… [GobuMii]”

I summon [GobuMii], who visibly looks dejected.

Well… after being dissed like that…

But, if you ask me if I’m depressed, I actually wasn’t.

That’s because I already knew [GobuMii]’s stats from the ‘strategy site,’ so I more or less expected this.

Besides.

“This low-level trash mob’s setting is probably that I lost confidence after today’s events and then tried to mess with the newly transferred, low-level protagonist… right?”

I had even analyzed it like that.

Still, that doesn’t mean I can forgive the teacher and the class’s attitude.

Honestly, I’m seething inside.

So.

“Hey, [GobuMii]… do you want to become stronger…?”

“! (Nod Nod!)”

In response to my question, [GobuMii] nods strongly, with tears welling up in her eyes.

“I see…”

Seeing [GobuMii] like that, I make up my mind.

Then… let’s get strong!

Fortunately, I have the ‘strategy site’ that I stumbled upon by chance.

It details the methods to raise the strongest characters.

Well, our names weren’t listed among the character-specific training methods, but still.

“Alright!”

I slap my cheeks to get pumped up.

“[GobuMii]… we’re going to get strong! We’ll get strong and show those guys in the class, and then…!”

When school resumes after summer break, the protagonist of this game will transfer to our school.

At that time.

“I’ll turn the tables on that protagonist!”

I raise my fist high towards the ceiling.

◇

So.

“First, we need to make a plan to get strong.”

I mutter this while fiddling with my phone.

There are only about five months until the protagonist transfers.

If we don’t improve our abilities efficiently, I’ll end up being recognized as a low-level trash mob.

After all… the protagonist has an undeniable cheat spirit.

“Anyway, first, we need to know ourselves. Let’s see….”

I take out the Geist Leader and check [GobuMii]’s stats again.

…Yeah, it’s sad no matter how many times I look at it.

Spirits can change classes once they reach a certain level.

Basically, they evolve into higher races or ranks, and their stats significantly increase.

By the way, [GobuMii] can change classes to either [Redcap] or [Hobgoblin].

However, [Redcap] requires level fifty, and [Hobgoblin] requires level twenty.

I really want to change [GobuMii] into that spirit, Geist, but it’s absolutely impossible in this world.

“Hmm… if we want to quickly boost our abilities, [Hobgoblin] would be the way to go…”

It’s true that the stat increase at a lower level is appealing compared to [GobuMii]’s current state.

But… compared to the protagonist, the heroines, and the party members’ spirits, the ability difference is overwhelming…

“Hey [GobuMii], if you had to choose between [Redcap] and [Hobgoblin], which one do you want to change into?”

I ask [GobuMii], who is enthusiastically doing shadow training, but she looks puzzled… I can read [GobuMii]’s expressions pretty well.

“So, if you want to be [Redcap], point to my right hand, and if you want to be [Hobgoblin], point to my left hand.”

I extend both hands in front of [GobuMii].

Then.

“…I see. You want to be [Redcap], huh?”

“…(Nod)”

[GobuMii] nods quietly.

If that’s what you want, I have to respect your choice.

“Alright! Then, [GobuMii] will aim to change into [Redcap]!”

“(Nod Nod!)”

Now, with that decided…

I check [Redcap]’s stats on the ‘strategy site.’

—————————————————————

Name: Redcap

Attribute: Redcap (♀)

LV: 50

Strength: F

Magic: F

Endurance: F

Agility: C+

Intelligence: E-

Luck: F

Skills: [Group Action][Reproduction][Axe Mastery]

Hmm… still not that strong.

And it takes level fifty to get there…

But.

“Well, changing classes isn’t the only way to boost our abilities. We just need to get strong quickly.”

I mutter this while looking at a page on the ‘strategy site.’

“…We need to avoid dying, though.”

I can’t help but shudder at the reckless plan to strengthen [GobuMii].
