With the thief, Angelo, passing by him, Umichi turned to Suki who was saying to help Timi. Timi had told them she had 7k col. Umichi looked over the little girl, looking at her current equipment. Flicking through his menu, he then stated with a smile, "Well, you probably only need some armor. This was dropped not long ago for me." He sent her a short sword of reasonable stats in a trade. From the looks of it, it would be quite a bit better than her current one, since his had one of those dropped before, so he was familiar with the stats. Looking towards Suki, he whispered, "I think I'll let you handle her for now. There's something I want to check in the Labyrinth. Well ... someone really .... but yeah." With a slightly wry smile at Suki, he then turned to Timi. "Suki, the Onee-san here, will help you buy armor. This Onii-san has something he needs to check out, but he will be back soon okay?" He had a big smile, to reassure her. Putting his hand on her head, patting/rubbing it gently. "I should be back soon. Oh ... and mind if we train toni ..." [i]Oh right, I almost forgot.[/i] He cleared his throat and started again. "I will be back soon," Umichi then leaned closer to Suki, speaking gently and softly, "Mind if we have a little date tonight once I am back?" Before getting a clear answer, he backed off, winked at Suki and called out to Suki and Timi, "I'll be back soon." Giving a short wave. Walking pass Yui, "Just to let you know, I'm off to check something out." Umichi informed her, continuing on to Ayame. "I'll be having this now." He grabbed a bowl of stew with meat and vegetables. Well, that's what it looked like. Considering the way the game was made, the taste-simulating engine made things have one look while with another taste. It was rather sweet, more like a watered down pudding with chocolate textured bits that tasted similar to a durian. It wasn't bad, but it was more like a dessert than a dinner. "It's good, but ... rather sweet Ayame. Anyway, thanks, I'm off to check some stuff out, laters!" With that, he left the inn and decided to head to the Labyrinth again. The time was about 1815. He planned to be back before 2030. For now, he wanted to look for the black hooded figure from before, to confirm their weapon of choice. Just after wandering around in the labyrinth for a little while, having killed a few Ruin Kobold Troopers, Paka had sent a message telling them why he has left the party. Umichi sent a message back, while easily evading the enemies, and attacking back with ease. It read "Isn't it more beneficial for him if you weren't in his party? The exp and col won't be divided, given he is the one killing/doing all of the damage to the enemies. Well, if you are killing some too, maybe it is better to party with him. Well, just tell me when you want to join back." He was still in the first floor, following his path to reach the second and sequentially third floor. [i] I wonder if I can reach him at all[/i] Umichi pondered as he wandered the Labyrinth.
