Chapter 1210 Helping One Another and Blooming Part 2

「ESTIMATED HEIGHT: TWO METERS SIXTY CENTIMETERS. ESTIMATED WEIGHT: ONE HUNDRED EIGHTY TWO KILOGRAMS. THOSE NUMBERS MAKE IT IMPOSSIBLE FOR THE PHYSICAL CONSTITUTION TO BE PROPERRLY ESTBLISHED, AMONG OTHER REASONS…… IT IS WAY TOO CLOGGED……」

Kuh…… It seems that I have let my imagination to run way too rampant and the result of that was something that theoretically should not even be able to exist in this world. But is it possible to maintain this ration while downsizing my height to about one hundred eighty centimeters? I don’t care about anything else all that much, but the proper balance of arms to the rest of the body needs to be maintained.

「ARE YOU PERHAPS THINKING ABOUT SHRINKING YUORSELF A LITTLE BIT?」

Let’s change the size of my hand, let’s make them slightly longer, increase the size of the palms…… Oh wow, you can change all those things individually? That would be really suitable for making hand swords. Hmmm, I wonder if it could be a little bit like this? Or can I possibly get my wrist thicker?

「…… SANRAKU, YOU SEEM TO HAVE A RATHER PRECISE IMAGE IN YOUR MIND, DON’T YOU?」

I think that if you are going to compromise on things like that, you are only going to regret it later on. I know that I can raise my Durability with the recently acquired accessories…… Now, even if the probability of getting hit is going to increase, the merits that I get from this are going to greatly outshine that one demerit. Normally it was the weapon that was doing the lion share of the job during the fights, and the slender build was great for avoidance, but recently that was starting to not be enough. Recently grappling and striking was becoming more of a thing in my playstyle…… Right now things are not the same as when I was starting in this game. So it would be a wise decision to just increase my overall physical capabilities as much as possible, with the view of undertaking more and more serious challenges down the line.

「LET’S REFER TO THE SKILL SYSTEM REAL QUICK…… AHH, I SEE. I SEE THAT YOU HAVE A HIGHLY BIASED BUIL THAT FOCUSES MOSTLY ON MOBILITY. AND YOU USE VARIOUS SUPPORT SKILLS THAT HELP YOU EXCEL AT THE THINGS THAT YOU ALREADY DO BEST…… I SEE. WELL THEN, ALLOW ME TO PRESENT YOU WITH A SUITABLE PLAN THAT IS GOING TO AID YOU IN YOUR ENDEVOURS……」

A plan?

「SANRAKU, Q.E.D DOES WAY MORE THAN JUST REBUILDS YOUR BODY. YES, FOR EXAMPLE…… YOU CAN “STRENGTHEN” SPECIFIC PARTS OF YOURSELF. AND FOLLOWING THE EXAMPLE OF THE LEVIATHAN AND THE BRAVE FISH, SUCH OPTIONS WILL BECOME AVAILABLE TO YOU ONCE YOU TRAVERSE FURTHER DOWN THIS VESSEL AND OBTAIN THE APT AMOUNT OF RESULT POINTS…… FOR EXAMPLE, YOU CAN STRENGTHEN YOUR EYEBALLS AND OPTIC NERVES……」

Resulting in the increased output of the various ocular skills?

「YES, AS LONG AS THE SKILL IS CONNECTED TO THE EYES. BESIDES, THAT’S WHAT SKILLS ARE: A POWER TO HANDLE TECHNIQUES AND ABILITIES BEYOND HUMAN CAPABILITY, CREATED BY HUMANS FOR THE HUMNAS…… OF COURSE, THE EFFECTS ARE GOING TO BE LIMITED AT FIRST, BUT THE MORE ADJUSTMENTS YOU MADE AND THE MORE YOUR BODY BECOMES ACCOSTUMED TO THEM, THE FINAL OUTPUT IS GOING TO INCREASE SUBSTANTIALLY……」

Listening to that explanation, I cannot help it but to start feeling extra motivated. However, let’s not get ahead of ourselves and just bring this body modification to a close.

Overall my body grew about one size…… Or maybe not, let’s make that half a size. There were still some fine adjustments to be made here, but besides that we were more or less done with the whole process.

Punched! High kick! Jump! Side step! Test the range on the joint1 Move backwards! Somersault! …… Yeah, looks good to me!

「WELL THEN, WE SHALL START THE PROCESS OF REBUILDING YOUR BODY…… NOW THEN, PLEASE GO OUT THERE AND ENJOY YOUR NEW BODY TO TOHE FULLEST!」

Alright, let’s take that new body of mine for a spin, shall we?

……………

………

…

「And that’s why it is no exaggeration to say that I possess the ultimate body right about now……」

「You surely like to speak highly of yourself……」

「Hey! Last time I checked, hats do not speak, am I right?」

I also reinstalled the moving head equipment…… Oh? And if it isn’t the Exploding Green Peas! Forget about it! I’m not interested in adding you to my party! You are going to be in trouble if you don’t partner up with someone? And why should I even care? But where is Rei-san? She should have already finished her character rebuild, but for some reason I can’t see here anywhere……

「Ah, umm……」

「Hm? Ahh, Rei-san, there you…… AAAARRRRREEEE!?」

「………… Uhhh.」

Rei-san that appeared from the shade of some equipment in the corner was quite different from Rei-san that I knew…… Specifically, even if I subtract that my point of view has become higher…… I had to really lower my gaze to see her……But it was not just the height alone. Her muscles that were supporting the heavy armor shrunk so much that they have basically disappeared, but right about now they were really toned and well-defined, to the point where it almost seemed unreal.

「I see that you also changed your gender.」

「Umm, ahh, y-yes……」

When Rei-san was a male avatar, her armor covered almost the entire surface of her body, but now……The armor was still there alright, but there was also a lot of exposed skin, especially around the areas of her navel, thighs and armpits…… Yeah, that’s a whole lot of exposure out there alright.

「Apparently that’s what happens when you change your gender……?」

「Huh? Umm, y-yeah. B—But it’s only because it’s inside of the game! It’s not like I like to flash my skin or anything like that, but…… W-Well, you know how it is!」

You see things like that from time to time…… Female avatars with so much exposed skin that you would think that they are into exhibitionism…… But I mean, it’s not like that’s your real body or anything, Rei-san, so…… Don’t be shy? I guess?
