It's been many, many weeks, but I'm back.
Part 8 is ready for viewing. I hope you're very resistant for constant mentions of "Kengeki-this" and "Kengeki-that". I have a good reason though!
Another new excerpt, the last one we have at this very point in the story:
"Large Footprints Discovered in the Fairy Forest." -
A newspaper given to you in the library's archives. The monster's tracks have been spotted in the Fairy Forest. This Fairy Forest is also at the foot of the Youkai Mountain. Is there some kind of relation?If you look closely, it's not just a footprint, it's a shoeprint! No wonder the monster is rampaging, trying to find a pair in that size would drive anyone mad!
Equipment bought off-screen before the episode began:I've made two purchases at Kourindou, for 9.000 coins each, both of which you could argue weren't wise, but we have the money. The first one was a Sterling Silver Dagger (ATK: 129 ; Critical Chance: 4% ; Critical Power: 19% ; Item Drop: 15%). It was pretty much a buy to be on the safe side against bosses in case we got very unlucky, as the Sterling Silver Dagger we had for Stage 7 was actually kind of a poor specimen. I'm not going to say here if we ever use it.
The second purchase was another, slightly better Big Ribbon (see below for stats). The upgrade was probably not worth the effort, given how often I re-entered Kourindou for it. I don't know how I'm still sane after that...
