[X] You really want to fight that Spider now. It looks like fun. Dangerous but fun.
We need to put a little bit of cautiousness inside her mind on monsters. While Balloons aren't impressive, Direwolves would have been much harder without Will. Plus ... Death to spooders Q.Q

Hm looks like her shields are more focused on storing stuff at least for now. It's interesting how her uncouncious perceptionns influence the shields paths.
Other heroes had notions on how their weapons should work so the weapons adapted to fit. It didn't give them full acess to the interface since shield learned from other 4 heroes and 7 stars (even heroes from other worlds) but it was good enough to start.
On another note Naofumi had no attack due to his perceptions (do to what others said on summoning day) but a shield hero of the past later has been noted to have been more offensive with counter strikes and shield bashes (they actually do damage not just stun as Naos version). So it can say each hero summoned has been unique in his/hers skills and stats wise.

Quest board. Do adventuring efficiently.
[] Ran the numbers in your head, you think that if you hired a cheap adventurer you can run a profit sending them out to do Charlie's request. Perhaps it's possible to throw your status as a Heroic Weapon user to start a business taking all the shit jobs nobody wants?
Capitalism Ho!
Theres a supply of piss easy jobs which nobody is doing. Its good for the economy, and it gives us a bunch of proteges we might eventually add to our party.
So I'd count this as Expand The Party

Fight a harder monster...the main problem is between us and William I'm not sure we can do enough damage through natural chitin armor to kill it without a chopping weapon, and casting Fist on giant bugs is hard. We hadn't learned any spells yet either.

Lets get some more minions. Shield Hero has the Growth Boost thing for party members right?
So we recruit a bunch of level 1 adventurers, take them harvesting the balloons dry, they level up to be more useful and I *think* we're inclined to trust total noobs more.

Oh hey, maxed out Perception. I'm wonering if their main job here is spying and looking for incriminating stuff(reminder to troll them at some point about stalking a 14 year old girl) to use against us or actively engage in sabotage and discrediting?
That sounds like some kind of curse rotting his brains.
RIP Starter Slime Equivalent Thing
Pop
So hmm:
-Bees - Saki loves bees, so nope.
-Giant Spider - Challenging. Probably easiest for the Sword Hero, which is best suited to hacking through chitin, hardest for Shield.
-Wolves - Are wolves. Probably easier for us because their pack swarming tactics are useless against godly defense
-Balloons - Pop.
-Slimes - Not even mentioned, but IIRC Shield Hero slimes are mostly just annoying to kill.

Nope. He hates demi humans and beast men because they took away his sister. After that he enlisted he went to war with them erning a genius tactician title to the point that it was stated his enemy hesitated if even a wisper of him being present on batlefield was herd. (Shield bro couldn't believe that king is the same person as in the stories he later lerned.) It's not unreasonable to assume the discriminateion was the goal from the start but he needed to enact things slowish.
It's relevant because shield is basically the God to demihumans. (In same way as the 3 heroes church worship sword, bow and spear) Basicly he is taking out his wrath and sorrow on him as the symbol of what he hates. Basicly angers is dulling his mind I wonder what would he be capable of without it.

After the next post I will be reusing options, such as the shopping for more clothes, and you will always have the chance to open up your own Adventurers guild simply due to your popularity as the Shield Hero allowing you to compete. Finding a way to streamline your personal monster slaying will be available until you find one.
For how I will determine the Monk's action while you're away slaying a giant spider I'll consult some people either IRL or over discord to get their opinion. Most of the time I will use my discretion
Once you do something that massively destresses yourself the MC will have the 'Time to Find a Hobby!' option back, but on the same token violence itself will in fact make your MC happy.
Once you acquire an appropriate amount of capital (over 700 silver) you will get the investment options back! Economy isn't that exciting? (I'm not gonna lie, I actually like writing about some weird murderhobo scavenger try to economy over murder).
Questions about the economy that I realize are actually important.
Most people deal within Copper and Silver. It's why you weren't given '8 gold pieces' I touched on the fact that the Monk had to pay for your food after you recruited him because holy shit you almost overpaid 100%, and then you tipped anyway 100% because you respect the food industry. Most commoners don't see a gold piece in their lifetime, and very few take the effort to exchange their copper for silver coins. Business owners, caravaneers, miscellaneous merchants deal in Silver and Copper. Dumping a gold piece on someone is like, dumping a 100$+ bill on a payment. Most people know that they won't be able to exchange it with each other unless the person is a feudal lord so very few people would accept it like how in real life the barber rarely accepts bills over 50$.
This is how I rationalize that one scene where Malty and Motoyasu try charging a I think it was 100 Silver Piece fee for leaving a town? They weren't charging the commoners with extra tax, because they know they're mostly static unmoving people, and obviously wouldn't have money to pay the tax. They were in reality, taxing the business owners out of the nose who rely on imports and exports and generally being connected with the rest of the kingdom. Basically ruining everyone who would do business in that area and making sure nobody would do business in that area. (Or that's how I make it make sense in my mind.)
The people who trade in Gold are nations and nobility and people who have like, massive monopolies and of course the church. Most of that Gold is usually self contained within it's own upper market because well... They're the only ones who can really trade on that scale. Even then, it mostly sits in primitive banks most of the time outside of the brief moments they need that amount of money.

Everyone gangsta until the big spiderboy walks in.
Usually I'd post a short segment to say which sort of shield you wanted her to use. But you literally only have on useful combat one and I cant imagine the other ones being used at all.
[X] You really want to fight that Spider now. It looks like fun. Dangerous but fun.
You get up pretty restless. You've been thinking about that giant ass spider... You want to fight it, it looks like it'd be something that would really let your blood sing. You got up, walked to William's room and knocked a few times. Finally it opened to reveal the monk. "Hm? Ah, Yukihime. What are we gonna do for today?" he looked excited, unfortunately you had to burst his bubble for this one "You're getting the day off, I'm going to go do some live target training" you flicked a silver coin into his bewildered hands and walk down the hall to the exit "Oh I see, have fun... Wait, what do you mean about 'Live Combat Training?' Yukihime!?". You giggle as you walk off, this will be fun!
You forgot how fucking far away everything is. More fucking WALKING. You needed a cane or some shit, your right leg is still pretty fucked up. Shit hurts. You wave at Gus as you pass by his restaurant, looks like they're finally starting the renovations. Oh hey, the Ninjas that were following you finally fucked off after you reached the outskirts of the city. It was pretty cute how they think they're hiding from you. Ahh... Nature.
You fucking hate Nature. You went to sniff a sun flower and it almost bit off your nose, well fuck you too. You're gonna need to keep your guard up on this world huh, flowers can kill you. Fuck it, you were sure out there that the very blades of grass want you dead. Trees can be evil too, and that's fucked you love trees. What fucked up deity made a world where cute ass plants want to murder you. This shit sorta makes you a bit pissed off, maybe you should yell at God?
Ahhh, you're not sure you want to waste your breath. Now, you've been walking for like a few hours. Munching on some bread you start to think... Where was the Spider Nest again... Ah shit you're gonna have to climb a fucking tree again, please don't eat me Mister Tree! So after carefully prodding it a bit, you were pretty sure it wont eat you. So up you went, this one was a bit of a more difficult climb then you're used to. You made it appropriately high enough to view into the distance. Hmm. Gross Oooze monsters, no. Balloon... A patch of angry flowers... Giant Frogs... Some nonelucidian geometry monster... Ah there it is! Slightly to the North West you could see a mess of spiderwebs and a single massive spider.
It was not titanic in size... Around the size of a school bus at most, ah how scary~. You started smiling, you couldn't help yourself. You started the slow trek towards the beast, you felt like one of those legendary figures of the wasteland... Like the probably mythical wasteland samurai Hikaru, legendary beast killer from Kyoto. You frown for a second... Hikaru might be real, you had no fucking clue what fucked up shit Japan got up to before the war but there was a reason Japan was hit with warheads in relatively isolated areas of Japan father refused to talk about. Hikaru's whole legend came from mythical tales of monsters roaming the Kyoto region, and now that you've seen some fucked up shit you're not completely dismissing mythical shit anymore.
You stop a few yards from what you're pretty sure it's detection range is... You have to think. You doubt you can punch this enemy to death as easily as the others due to its massive size. You suddenly smile, pick up a rock and start to climb another tree dangerously close to the Spider but remain undetected. Annoyingly you aren't close enough to pull what you think the Old World called 'The People's Elbow', so you leaped and aimed your shield in such a way that the pointed tip would take the force of your fall. You weren't that heavy, you think at most you were barely over 90 or so pounds but combined with your velocity you were able to pierce the carapace on its back... You just didn't expect the force to stun you as it traveled up your arm, but thankfully your shield's mystic effects took most of the damage you'd usually get from this sort of stunt. Thank you Wasteland Samurai for the inspiration.
That was probably really stupid of you huh. Twisting your body in a way that let you use your feet to assist you, you wrenched your shield (and thus your hand) out of the back of the now screeching monster. Now what the fuck are you gonna do genius? You release a squawk of surprise as the spider moved. Sending you tumbling until you grasped the fur of the angry arachnid. Through the forest it ran, crushing small trees in its way and generally making a nuisance of itself. You felt awesome, but you also felt really fucking tired of being thrown about on its back. Now how exactly were you going to get out of this situation?
The spider started fucking climbing up a cliff face. "Are you shitting me...", with a grunt of effort you climbed to your initial impact strike and using your shield like really shitty brass knuckles you slam it into said wound, over and over again. It started getting easier the more you broke off the hard shell, and you were pretty sure you were harming something important... Make that you were hitting something REALLY important, as the spider suddenly seized crawling up the cliff face... Then started falling, with YOU on the back. "Well shit."
Fuck, you don't really know anything to escape what you think is probably your coming demise. With no other option you let go of the spider, kicking off in the direction of the trees. You were nowhere near skilled enough in parkour to make a nice save, but smashing your body on the branches were to slow your descent so you didn't flat out splat on ground. The spider landed with a resounding 'CRASH' and you, a much more elegant 'thud'. Shit, your everything hurts. Suddenly you hear a small clicking and cracking sound...
The spider was still fucking alive. "You really gotta be fucking kidding me." Your right leg was fucked, you were bruised all over but the Spider was much worse off. You grab a stick of appropriate height to use as a cane to stand your ass back up to clash with this big ass fucker. First it tried spearing you with one of its legs, reading it's body language you're able to use your deceptively strong body and it's velocity against it, breaking it with a chopping motion with your shield. You ready to hit it with your cane only to feel a massive shocking pain in your hand.

You giggle at the fact that the Shield thinks that a little pain would stop you from crushing this bug. Your smile stretches almost impossibly wide across your face as you crush the other offending limb the spider weakly brings up to defend its broken body. Crush! Splatter! You ignore the feeling in your hand, your ankle for your scars burn, your blood sings! Behold a TRUE WORK OF ART! Soon enough, your stick breaks but you don't think you're satisfied just yet... Come on, get back up. Hit me! Fight me! Shoot out a web! Try to bite my fucking head off!
No...? How disgusting.
Level Up.
Soon the bloodlust recedes to the back of your mind. Then you see the state of your hand, charred, burnt all around fucked... Yeah you weren't using that for a while. Despite that you can't wipe the grin off your face at the pulped remains of what used to be such a frightful creature of the woods... You start ripping the eyes out, then the teeth some of which were scattered all over the ground... Curious you push one of the fangs into the shield. Squishy's Venomous Bite, which you've figured out gives you what venom the spider had... Then an eye, Squishy's Spider Sense which amplifies your abilities to sense figures via vibration and touch...
You were curious, why did the Shield name the beast Squishy? You let out a squawk as the Shield gave a reply; The Shield takes the name you associate with the monster you slay for the name if no official one is given. You giggled... He was quite a Squishy wasn't he now!
Picking up a stick, firmly in your shield hand now you hobble back to town... You're going to need to heal a long while after this you're not going to be combat ready for a while. Ahhh, what a sight you must make! A mangled girl covered in blood... This isn't good you need to clean yourself off so you can calm your heart rate down...
By the time you arrive back at town, it's already dead at night.

You haven't actually met anyone who knows magic. If you picked up the magician you'd have gotten early magic options. If you picked the merchant you would've had better investments and money handling skills. You don't even know if normal people can use magic.
It's only the end of day two, you can only meet so many people in one day (especially as you need to travel a good distance out of town to a bunch of your objectives). Best I can give you is some common sense knowledge that if you take more city options you meet more people which opens your chances to learn magic.

Can we try to to shop for (mundane) healing items to put into the shield?

Agreed with Sigil. We could use some healing items, especially after learning that trying to having fun will kill us.

Yes. Actual medicine will result in useful shields. I'm going to say that's the case. It would boost your healing. IC your character will be looking for medical supplies and clothing, meanwhile I'll be rolling a shop table to see what's around to browse at for the questers to choose after that part of shopping is over.
Eventually you'll stop getting storage shields as they merge into the second tier for general storage, so I don't have to keep writing new shield storage for every single corpse.

While I'd like to start a business to gain more economic power and influence in the area, Yukihime really needs to relax a bit and get useful supplies. We should probably also pick the hobby option as soon as it comes up.
