Chapter 43
Double the Eccentricity
It was still morning when I went to the weapon shop but by the time I left the sun was already at its peak, so I quickly made my way to the church.
I want to at least get the identification of half of the plants done today at least—-with such thoughts in mind, I entered the church and quickly entered the usual room in the corner.
“Good day. Ability assessment as always I assume?”
“Yeah. Also I’ll probably come again today so don’t ask me anything and just go with it as usual okay?”
“Again today…….? Very well, understood.”
The priest had finally started to get used to my frequent visits but even he seemed a bit curious at my statement.
I have zero reason or intention to explain anything to him so I simply ignored his expression and handed over the gold coin and my adventurer card and waited in silence.
“Thank you for the gold coin. Now please wait a second——-And its done.”
“Thanks, as always. And I’ll be in your care again later today.”
Saying just that, I quickly left the church.
I would normally sit there and check my stats at ease but I am in a bit of a hurry so I did it while walking to my next destination.

Ooh!
The increase is a lot more than I had imagined.
I had been hunting even goblins on the way to my cowbird hunts as well, yet my base stats showed barely any signs of significant improvement.
……..on the other hand, who cares about that when the increase in the plus bracket is so incredibly astounding.
In just one month, to think I got this much. This is all thanks to me singling out the specific plants needed for growth at huge monetary costs of assessment. I suppose I have earned this reward.
Of course, I don’t think the increases would continue in similar fashion all the time but just the fact that I have found a path to help surpass Klauss is great motivation for me.
While suppressing my instant desire to seclude myself in the forest again by using all my money, I quickly returned to [Shangri la hotel].
.
.
Entering the empty room, I quickly switched to reading and translating the grimoire while eating the yet unclassified new types of plants wrapped inj Oblaat with my other hand.
Even though I was using just using water to wash down all these bland, flavourless plants down my throat, my stomach quickly felt full again—-
Since I was actually a bit of gourmet, this entire process was nothing but pain yet I have to keep at it just to get stronger.
After eating about 20 different types of new plants, I quickly made my way to the Church again before Esta came back.
The time between the 2 assessments was approx 2 hours.
Considering I have just spent 2 gold on this just like that, even I think the whole thing looks crazy.
No wonder the priest who knows nothing would feel utterly confused, maybe I might even get a weird reputation or nickname among the priests.
……..actually, that might have happened already.
While thinking of such useless things, I quickly entered the church and went straight to the usual room.
“…….wow you really came again huh.”
“Yep. Again, sorry for making you do this twice in a single day.”
Giving a quick apology, I handed over another gold coin and my card.
“like I said before, we are getting paid handsomely to do this so no need to apologize. Now then, let’s move on with the assessment then——And its done.”
“You have my thanks. See you soon.”
“Of course. I’ll be waiting.”
Giving my thanks and taking the card, I quickly left the church again. Since the church and our inn were in two different districts it took quite some time to travel between the two places unfortunately.
I was seriously considering switching to the [Dove Inn] in the back streets just to shorten the travel time, but anyway I continued moving and checked my status.

YES!!
I unconsciously did a fist pump.
I knew there was a plant that increased physical strength inside the Peixa forest, but I’m glad I was actually able to find it.
Now I just have to whittle down the list and figure out which one exactly it is.
Not only did I get to see the increase from Reizen grass and Genpei mushroom today but I also finally found the plant that increased my Strength.
I was also able to get a brand a new steel sword as well. It’s finally starting to feel like I’m making some real progress and laying a strong groundwork for the future.
With my excitement feeling high after quite some time, I ran back to the inn to join Esta for her magic practice.
