by volume 1
This was the end of a monster that lost its Magic Stone.
According to Eina, the Magic Stone is the monster’s core, and it is their source of living. She had also taught me that aiming for the Magic Stone was very effective to defeat the monsters. However, if the Magic Stone was cracked, then it would be worthless, but what is more important than your own life?
After sending off the Kobold, which had completely disappeared into dust, I began to repeat the same work. I should also head back to find the two that had died earlier on, thus I did not have time to take a break.
Lifting up my dagger, I swung it downwards, downwards and downwards.
“Eh……?”
After finishing with the final corpse, a right claw was left by itself that should have completely disappeared into ash along with the body.
Obtaining the claw that was buried under the ashes. Gently poking it, it seems that there was no movement that it would disappear.
Looks like it was a
Monsters that have their Magic Stones removed will sometimes leave a part of their body in their original shape. It was said that the part that was left behind was usually an abnormally developed location, holding a power that allows it to live independently without Magic Stones——In this situation it should be Magic Power. When the monster was still alive, it must have been a powerful weapon of the monster.
This item could also be exchanged for gold. Especially if it could be used as a material for weapons and armor. The prices were different between items, but usually these things could be exchanged from more money than Magic Stones.
“Lucky!”
Placing the Magic Stone Fragments into the waist bag, and placing the
This backpack was specially made: it was a magical bag that was capable of storing items much, much larger than its appearance……What, of course that was impossible.
If there was a limit to the fabric, it would naturally overflow, it could also be broken. Of course, the weight will still exist. How was it possible for the world to have such a useful fantasy-like item.
Normally, there would be a non-combatant known as a
But Kami-sama and my
“Yeahhhhhhhh!”
“GAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! !”
“……Continuous battle?”
Damn it, Can’t you give me a break!
Including the existence of the Magic Stone, the dungeon was filled with mysteries.
The only dungeon in the world, just as I mentioned earlier, had existed in the Lower World before the gods descended.
There are some that say that the lowest floor in the dungeon leads to hell or the demon world. The gods seemed to know about it, but they do not seem to be willing to tell.
“A dungeon is a dungeon. A place where you chase after something else.”
I heard this was a famous saying from the Gods. How much did they love the dungeon?
I heard the number one surprising topic should be that, “the dungeon is alive”, right? However, there won’t be things such as the thick walls attacking you, and the terrain of the floors would also not change. For the evidence, adventurers would explore and create a map of the floor, which could be sold to the guild. (But as one goes lower, the size of the area will rapidly increase at an unimaginable rate, thus, I’ve heard that there are many floors that did not have a complete map)
The meaning of alive, means that it would repair itself, the structures that were destroyed in the dungeon would automatically repair themselves.
It was said that the dungeon was constructed by a material either higher-class or lower-class than the Magic Stones. Only the construction of the dungeon was still not understood by the scholars until now, it was stopped at the point of the phenomenon occurring.
Also, because it was a material that was similar to the Magic Stone, even if sunlight could not enter the dungeon, it was still very bright. Especially the first floor, the area that could be considered as the ceiling would also emit phosphorescence, thus no matter what time it was, it was bright to an absurd level.
Furthermore monsters. They were born within the dungeon.
Although this may seem like a joke, but in fact, they actually crawl out from the walls, like chicks break the shells of the eggs. Many had witnessed this scene. This was the reason why no matter how many monsters were hunted by the adventurers, monsters would still endlessly appear.
However, each floor could only produce a certain number of monsters. Although I heard that occasionally there would be monsters that run up from the lower floors, or monsters from the upper floors headed downwards, but normally, the monsters would be fixed to the corresponding floor, which they had appeared from. Incidentally, the rule was basically: the lower the floor, the stronger the monster.
The location that connects the upper and lower floors would sometimes have stairs, sometimes large down slopes, all in all, there was a lot of possibilities. But no matter how many possibilities there were, there would not be an absurd thing like instant movement. But this should be logical, because even Gods could not do such a thing. The monsters are the same, the could only rely on their own legs to move around in the dungeon.
The monsters are only created within the dungeon.
Thus, if we are able to manage the dungeon well, we should not be threatened by the monsters.
Therefore, the management authority (Guild) was created early during the ancient times. Although I personally believe that the reason for the guild’s existences was mainly due to the benefits it could obtain from the dungeon.
Once, when I was still very young, I was almost killed by a
That also means that monsters have reproductive behaviors.
Although this was a terrifying vision, but I really could not believe that this dungeon is the same existence as the Gods, which created the Lower World humans and races.
Of course, even if had the guts, needless to say I would not dare to say such words to anyone, including the gods.
“——Ah!”
“GOBURYAAAAA!”
I gave off a flying kick and dealt a strong blow to the
The attack hit its big belly. The goblin’s fat body was twisted to 60 degrees, and widened its eyes, that nearly made others feel that they would pop out, to the max. I sent him flying.
The hated green fellow that gave me a trauma, is now instantly fodder to me, who has obtained Kami-sama’s
Right now I feel that the time when I first entered the maze, trembling at the sight of these fellow, was a thing of the past.
“Ah, more loot.”
This time, it was
After the recovery was complete, I had to carry my backpack, that was heavy to the extent of making others feel worried. As if the weight could be heard from my back.
Ah~, Although according to the capacity of the backpack, it could carry a lot……But this would most likely hinder my actions, right?
But if it were monsters like the earlier goblin, those should be located everywhere——
“GIISHHAAA! !”
“Uh! ? Ah, Nnn! ?”
——Correction! I must first think of a way to fix my backpack!
Although it was a surprise attack, it was not an unavoidable attack!
I did not know whether it was hiding in the shadows of the
walls, I place my vision onto the constantly intimidating goblin that was revealing its fangs and placed the backpack on the floor.
Right, I can’t be hasty. Even if I do not take risks, the dungeon is still filled with dangers. Didn’t Eina also say many times that thinking of “Well, so be it” was the most dangerous thing.
I should first take a trip to the ground. It wasn’t too late to come back after exchanging my battle rewards for money. I shouldn’t think that it was too troublesome.
Didn’t I say that I would form a good relationship with Wallenstein? Although I don’t know exactly what I should do, I know that the current me is completely unqualified.
I suddenly remembered the face of the golden-eyed and blonde savior. I cannot help but feel the accumulated desire that seemed to be burning my body.
Because today I still have to go to Seal’s shop, I must earn an income that was more than usual. Until the promised time, I will insist on doing the same thing over and over again to earn money!
I must earn enough.
“But first ……I should give back what I take with interest!”
“BUEBEEH! ?”
Crush!

“……What”
At sunset.
I, who had finished today’s exploration of the dungeon and came back to the hidden house within the church, couldn’t help but widen my eyes.
Because from the paper, that recorded my updated
“K…Kami-sama, This…did you copy it wrong or what……?”
“……You think I cannot even do simple reading and writing, is it?”
“N…No! I did not mean it that way……But……”
But……It seems like I have just seen some amazing numbers.
Placing that somewhat ironic reply from Kami-sama aside, I began to carefully look at the paper.
Today, I really attempted to become strong. There was indeed a confidence compared to my past struggles.
But, aren’t these figures too much……The total proficiency went up over 160, is this a joke?
I actually achieved this much in one day, then where has all my effort gone to for the past half a month……
“K…Kami-sama, there must be a mistake! ? See, here, the
“……”
The only damage I received was from the sneak attack from that goblin. I easily dodged all the attacks afterwards. But even just this, my
I defeated a large amount of monsters until today to receive the previous stats, no matter how hard I worked, it was impossible that being attacked once would increase my proficiency by this much.
“So I said there must be a mistake……T…That, Kami-sama?”
“……”
Strange.
Kami-sama had a terrible mood. Extremely terrible. Terrible to the extent that it was scary.
The small face frowned, and using half an eye to stare tightly at me. This pressure, as if I could hear Kami-sama saying “I’m angry”.
W…Why? What did I do wrong?
Just because it was the first time I encountered such a Kami-sama, I began to be at a loss.
I, who was sweating from my forehead, trembled like a powerless goblin.
“K…Kami-sama……?”
“……”
“A…About this, how should I say it……”
“……”
“W…Why…Did I suddenly grow…this…….”
“Who knows!”
Kami-sama pouted and ignored me.
In this situation, I couldn’t help but feel, “Wow, so cute!”, did I really have a problem?
It was Kami-sama’s first rebellious act.
“Hmmph”
Kami-sama turned her back towards me and silently headed to the closet at the depths of the room. Her twin-tails constantly bounced as if it was trying to intimidate me.
Opening the door to the closet, Kami-sama, who was shaking from side to side, tried hard to reach for her special-made jacket. Wearing that jacket that could even cover her petite body’s unbalanced boobs, she passed me, who was frozen stiff.
“The place I work at is hosting a whatever party, so I’ll go out for a while. You should also occasionally relax by YOURSELF, and eat a luxurious meal in a LONELY way!
BANG! Under this sound, the door was slammed shut.
Until the very end, Kami-sama didn’t look at my face. Only leaving a mystery about the party her workplace is hosting.
……W…What exactly happened?
I feel that it must be me that was wrong at first, but I couldn’t recall what kind of mistake I made.
Just because of the fact that I made Kami-sama angry, I depressingly left the hidden house. And sighed at the same time.
Ah, I must cheer up before I reach Seal-san’s place……
The sun had already been setting to the west.
The loss of the light from the sun, what came forth was the dark blue evening and faintly shining full moon, and countless laughing sounds.
The laborers that ended their shift, the adventurers that came back safe and sound from the dungeon as if they were ending today, were all immersed in wine. The prospering voices rushed forward from the bars, followed behind by roaring and laughter. Together with the orange-colored lights from the opened shops, multiple figures jumped onto the paved road.
(I remember the place where I met Seal-san this morning was indeed somewhere close by……)
Walking on this endless main street like a lost child shaking his head left and right.
The surrounding scenery was completely new, it was completely different from how it was in the morning when a single figure could not even be seen, which made it very difficult for me to remember the location of the shop. It was impossible to imagine that here was the same place as it was in the morning.
With the night bars as the selling point, the busy road exuded a passionate atmosphere everywhere, making even the demi-humans become happy. The hobbits, known as the representatives of small people, and gnomes were singing on the roads while holding each other’s shoulders, the dwarfs, that were famous as mighty and tough warriors, also gave off a hearty laugh and entered this circle.
Since there were female beastmen with animal ears and tails wearing bold outfits attracting customers, and there were also Amazon, who were wearing outfits even more outrageous than theirs, constantly ignoring the surrounding gazes and walking with a faint smile. I hurriedly turned my gaze away from their bodies.
Through the stringed and wind instruments’ melody, the crowd streamed over from the surroundings to the performance, the sound of the fine music touched the passersby.
The main street had completely put on its night appearance.
“……Should be here, right?”
As I finally found the familiar coffee shop, I stopped in front of the shop.
It was constructed by stone just like the other shops. This building that had a depth of two floors was perhaps the largest around in the surrounding night bars.
The night bar that Seal-san works for,
I was thinking deep down that this was a really amazing name, while staring at the sign, then I quietly peeked inside the shop from the entrance.
What I first saw was a well-developed female dwarf serving food at the counter ——It should be the boss ——Then, I saw a little of the kitchen, where the female cat people with animal ears and tails were busily working, and the waitress that takes the orders, it seems like it should be all females her
e.
Or what I should say is, all the workers in this shop are female.
……I think I know where the name of this bar came from.
(However, this, isn’t it too difficult for me……?)
Seeing that the shop employee was also mixed with a prideful elf, I could not help but feel surprised, then I swallowed. Until yesterday, although I thought it was not possible, but the dream garden with beautiful women and beauties that I wished for, was actually in front of my eyes. Of course, excluding the boss.
Although it cannot be considered as a glamorous and suspicious space……But to me, who has no immunity to these situations, just the fact that the shop employees were all female, was enough to make me blush.
The shop atmosphere was extremely bright. The shop employees were filled with energy and sounds of laughter could be heard everywhere. Although there were many adventurer customers that viewed the shop employees with perverted eyes, basically everyone was simply drinking and laughing, the cooking seemed to look very tasty as well.
The interior also seems to be very stylish compared to the other stores, but even so, the peculiar impression of a bar still exists. From the point that there was a café shop next to entrance, it could be seen that this shop followed the fashion carefully. Anyways, why did the guest’s vision focus on me from earlier.
Looks like there aren’t only male guests, female guests also like this shop.
But I really want to immediately retreat from here……
“Bell-san!”
“……”
It was extremely swift, once I looked, I found that Seal-san was standing beside me.
I forcibly made a smile to conceal my twitching mouth.
I should just admit it……
“……I’m here”
“Yes, Welcome”
Seal-san, wearing the same outfit as this morning, welcomed me.
Entering the wide entrance, she shouted with a clear voice.
“We’ve got a customer!”
(……Did the night bars even have to report this! ?)
I was whispering within my heart that I did not want to do such a thing that would attract attention! While entering the shop and following Seal-san.
