8.5.1: First Weapon
A meeting was held to decide the player's first weapon.
At the Bureau:
Dokkaebi: Hello! dear subordinates ~ The agenda for today’s meeting is deciding on the first weapon our players will receive. As you all may be aware, its almost D-day, so let’s speed through this! Any recommendations?
Black Dragon: Isn’t it typical for heroes to receive a sword, especially when they’re just starting out?
Dokkaebi: Yeah…but isn’t that just boring? We should be more innovative! Creative! Unique! Come on, guys, work with meee!
Black Goo: Then…how about a spear? I’ve seen heroes use that…
Red Dragon: No! I don’t think we should do that. They might be clumsy…I remember when I was younger, a village thought a spear would be an effective way of slaying me. But the hero they sent tripped over it and impaled himself! I’ll be honest, it was hilarious, but it wouldn’t be good if that happened before they even started. The higher-ups would be pretty pissed. Not to mention, the paper work!
Black Goo: (Thinking back on his first official meeting with Alice) Yeah, on second thought, forget the spear.
Kitsune: Well, I suggest an exquisite and elegant-looking dagger.
Black Dragon: Wouldn’t that just make the impossible task of slaying their first beast in their powerless state even more impossible? Perhaps an axe?
Unauthorized use: this story is on Amazon without permission from the author. Report any sightings.
Kitsune: No way! That’ll look too sloppy, considering they don’t even have enough brute strength to pick up and swing an axe from our storages.
Red Dragon: I think those guns that the humans use would be pretty interesting.
Black Goo: But that’ll be pretty useless against even a low-level starter monster like a wolf, and even if the bullets are specially made, it’ll be too much work to enchant it or use spatial magic for unlimited shots…
Kitsune: Hey, you troublemaker, just keep it at a sword. We won’t get anywhere like this.
Dokkaebi: Okayyy… if you say so :( But we will use a unique name, if you want me to compromise on the weapon! And no objections!
The others: Okay, sir…
Kitsune: Very well…this’ll be a disaster. What name do you suggest?
Dokkaebi: Hmm…I was thinking of ‘fight-stick’. Since its used for fighting and kinda like a stick.
Kitsune: Is that a joke? You’re joking, right? You can’t be serious? There’s obviously something else, right?
Dokkaebi: How did you know! Wow, you really do know me well! We go so well together, hehe.
Kitsune: Oh, thank the system heavens! So what is it?
Dokkaebi: Beginners fight stick, y’know since they’re beginners.
Kitsune: Are you for real?
Dokkaebi: Yeah, isn’t it great! Well, that’s decided then since you already said there’d be no objections~
Kitsune: You did this on purpose, didn’t you? You already had messing with them like this in mind, but you held a meeting so you could blame it on ‘too many cooks spoil the broth’ or something, cuz you know we won’t easily all come to an agreement.
Dokkaebi: Hehe. You really do know me well, dear~
Kitsune: (Face-palm)
The others: …
Dokkaebi: Well, that settles it then! Until the next time to decide the daily tasks, then…meeting adjourned!
