by volume 1
Although it did not turn into ashes, but it couldn’t even manage a slight twitch at all.
“Gyiiiii”
The goblin cried. There were still enemies remaining.
I pulled out my dagger from the corpse of the dungeon lizard, and decisively made a bold move. I watched the goblin, and removed the backpack on back——and let the strap fall down from my shoulders.
Then, I imposingly threw the bag out.
“! ? “
The large luggage became a terrible missile. The Monster stared at it.
I stared at the backpack in the air that I threw, and it beautifully struck the dumbfounded goblin.
“Higee”
The heavy crashing sound rang out, it was as if the goblin bounced up and flew backwards.
After having my
The goblin held onto the backpack and continued roll and roll, roll and roll.
“……Guuu”
Finally, it gradually stopped rolling, the goblin had a convulsion for a while, then its head was suddenly slanted.
I carefully watched the quiet monster, and after a while I confirmed the battle had ended, relieved my shoulders and let loose a big breath.
I put away the dagger and relaxed my fighting posture.
“……Good”
I stretched my body on the spot, the condition of my knee……Yes, it feels good.
The injured leg can already move completely, saying that it was healed was also okay. I could not help but show a eased smile.
“……Did I become stronger?”
My current location was the 4th floor of the dungeon. I confirmed that there were no presences of Monsters in the surroundings while recalling the earlier battle.
Despite that it became a one vs. two, which was unfavorable to me, but I still easily acted as the opponent for the dungeon lizard and goblin. My body’s response was quite good, and I was able to not worry about the situation of my injury.
That’s what it means for I, an Adventurer, to have my abilities increased.
I could truly feel that changes of my
……The days are getting closer, I anxiously thought.
Then shaking off that anxiety, I prayed in my heart, hoping for that day to come.
Even if I am confused about whether my own strength is evil or just an extravagant hope, I also want to chase up to the person that is standing far away from me. Quietly, my thoughts about her began to fill up my heart.
Afterwards, I recovered the Magic Stone Fragment from the fallen Dungeon Lizard and Goblin, today’s dungeon exploration is also over. I have to take into account of the path to return, so it was about time to head back above ground. I once again filled up my luggage, in order to exchange it to gold, then I walked towards the ground, this is the fourth time I had set on this road of return.
I walked according to my memories, and walked up from the 4th to 1st floor for a total of 3 floors of stairs.
I easily defeated the Kobold and Goblin that I encountered on the way back, it should already be evening outside, the sky should have been painted an orange color picture.
When I climbed up half of the floors until I reach the first floor, I could clearly see other Adventurers like me, because there is only one exit in the dungeon, so naturally Adventurers will meet up when returning from the dungeon.
It was visible everywhere that there are dwarves and elves that were wearing higher level equipment weapons and armors compared to the pitiful armor I was wearing, my voice was suddenly blocked, I held on to my psychological fear, while quickly walked past.
(Speaking of which, Is Kami-sama not coming back today too……)
Kami-sama had already went to her friend’s gathering for two days, she, herself, said that she would not be home for a few days, so it wasn’t something to worry about.
Perhaps because I haven’t seen Kami-sama, my heart felt empty.
What are you doing, Kami-sama.
“Ah, I’m here.”
After crossing a extremely wide tunnel called the
The height was approximately 10 meters tall, the diameter was almost the same length, it was similar to a round cylinder shape. Inside the round cylinder, there were gentle stairs in it, causing it to form a large spiral.
Several grounds of adventurers stepped onto the silver stairs, I also followed them. After a while, I finally crossed the final step of the stairs. My sight was suddenly widened, and the artificial smell entered my nose.
The white walls of the large tower
Currently I have reached a wide-opened space with a large hole in the center. It was unjustifiably wide, saying that it can house thousands of adventurers isn’t an exaggeration, and even after all that, there will still be extra spaces.
It was constructed so that it has an atmosphere of a temple, making it so that it did not feel that there was a Monster’s den directly below it, how can I put it, it was filled with a majestic atmosphere. If people say that this location as for the people to offer a tribute to the Gods, maybe some people would believe it. This large hall was condensed with craftsmanship.
The large hall was blue and white for the most part, the surrounding was filled with names of adventurer carved onto the black rock slates, the long and thick pillar separated the numerous furnishings that was impossible to be counted. Looking above, you will see a corner of the ceiling being filled by the blue sky, there is no artwork that can depict the sky more complex than this one.
Reaching this spot means that it is an absolutely safe area. I relaxed my nerves naturally, and the hidden fatigue pressed onto my back.
(……What?)
A large number of adventurers and supporters, who were wearing backpacks, were crowded together. In order to not hinder the people coming from behind, I moved over to the wall. Suddenly, an unusual scene appeared in front of my eyes.
The huge cargo, in box shapes, were mounted with wheels on it, it is estimated that it was a transport storage box. I remember that a place a little away from the dungeon had several of these boxes.
If I remember correctly……, it was used to raid the deeper floors of the dungeon, which is often used during
It was designed to store food and spare equipment, as well as loot and a large amount of items.
I obtained the hazy knowledge from my mind and stared at the boxes……Suddenly, the box shook.
(Huh!?)
I was surprised and stared at the box that could move by itself.
This action was just like a declaration that it wants to come out from the inside. Without opening the boxes, you could already imagine what was rampaging within the box.
C…Could it be……
Once I thought that the box could be considered as a cage, then simply activating my imagination, I could guess what was inside the boxes.
(Inside was a monster?)
I could even hear the
Is it really acceptable to have Monsters at this place……?
Babel, which belonged to the guild management, was known as the
Nowadays, because Adventurers had obtained
t the guild uses Babel as their base, and until now, they have not slacked off on their surveillance on Monsters. They were entrusted with the management of Orario, and until now they would ensure the city is not affected and take appropriate measures.
In other words, even if it was a mistake, Monsters are not allowed to leave the dungeon. Monsters leaving the dungeon and existing in the safety areas, this should be impossible.
However, once I began to think of this, there was a group transporting new cargo up the stairs from the large hole. I felt vexed and my confidence dramatically disappeared.
“This year they will also host that.”
“Monster Festival right……”
“What is the significance of tirelessly hosting that?”
“For acrobatics right……Boring.”
“Ganesha is really unlucky character, being forced by the guild to perform such a task, and have to flatter the public every year.
“That is because, no matter what you guys say, he is a
Amid the bustling noise, I overheard this conversation.
……Monster Festival?
Because I have never heard of that phrase before, so I racked my head. Probably forcibly capturing Monsters, shipping them box by box to the main hall is related to the so-called Monster festival?
That
(Ah……Eina-san?)
In the corner of my eye reflected a head of short brown hair.
My eyes chased after the familiar silhouette. Yes, the person who acts as my adviser, Eina-san, was there.
She is a half-elf with pointed ears.
Her well-proportioned face was currently filled with a serious expression, it seems like she was seriously discussing with another guild employee.
(At work right……)
I held back, and did not say hello to Eina-san, who was busily discussing about cleaning up the documents.
After reflecting about the earlier conversation I overheard, I felt that the act of transporting monsters was approved by the guild.
I could tell that Eina-san and the others, who were guild employees, were related with this work.
(Although I want to ask her what she is doing……but I should leave it for next time.)
In order to ask these questions, and even bother her work, this was somewhat shameful. If it was heard by people I have not seen or met ……It feels like I would be laughed at for not knowing such an affair.
I harbored a few questions and left.
Remaining at the scene would not be any use, and my body had already completely exuded the smell of sweat.
I took one final glance at Eina-san, then I headed to the shower room on this floor.
× × ×
“Thank you.”
The person at the cashier watched as I left the headquarters.
After showering, in order to exchange the loot and magic stone into gold, I came to the headquarters.
Because I knew that Eina-san was not here, so I quickly finished my business and left the headquarters.
“It’s evening……”
The outside sky had already been completely dyed into red.
Just by leaving the guild headquarters as if it was created like a temple in the main street, the surrounding area became very noisy. Walking past the monument of the headquarters, various races will crowd together.
Orario had a total of eight avenue that can be called the Main Street’s avenue, it spreads from the center of the city to the walls in eight directions. If it was compared to a cake, then it would be easier to understand the view of Orario. It was just like a cake being split into eight equal parts.
To distinguish each avenue, people will call them based on their respective location, just like North Main Street, South-East Main Street. Incidentally, Kami-sama and I are living at a hidden room inside a church that was built between the North-West Main Street and West Main Street. Going along the West Main Street, it was also possible to reach where Seal-san was working at “The Mistress of Abundance”.
Currently, I am situated at the North-West Main street, as expected of the street that was facing the guild headquarters, most of the people that were walking in the street were Adventurers.
Because if you want to dive into Orario’s dungeon, it is impossible to not perform all the formalities at the guild, and obtaining the guild’s support. Without any exceptions, all Adventurers must frequently head to the guild headquarters, so naturally you will see many Adventurers at this street.
Based on the amount of Adventurers on the streets, accordingly there were many shops that were trying desperately to attract Adventurers as their customers. Just by looking left and right, what enters my eyes are only weapon shops or pubs. Entering into a dark alley that was slightly away from the main street, there is a suspicious item shop that was acting as the entrance, inside there were also other various specialty shops for Adventurers. Inns could also been seen everywhere.
I was looking at the Adventurers disappearing into various shops, while walking aimlessly forward. Even if I return back home, Kami-sama was not there, so I could only waste my time.
“Eh? Ohoh, Isn’t this Bell!”
“Ah! God-sama”
I had just stepped onto the gravel road, and a figure in front of me greeted me.
The person had a beautiful appearance, his height was also much taller than me. If I could use some unsightly words to describe it, he is really a noble prince. However, even if he had a different style compared to the humans and the demi-humans, the grey robe that he was wearing revealed it.
His unusual appearance, especially the unique divinity around his body made everyone notice that the person in front was a God-sama. He is the only other God-sama, aside from my
“Hello Miach-sama, are you here to buy something?”
“Well, I’m only here to purchase the ingredients for dinner, making a god personally get this……Bell what are you doing here?”
“I am taking a short stroll around the shops……Although because I have no money, so I can only take a stroll.”
“Wahaha! Being in a small
Miach-sama, who was carrying big paper bags in both hands, laughed in a good mood. Even if he was not a jolly person, his charm could be seen from his smile. Even I, who was a male, could see it.
The Gods are an existence beyond us humans, no matter from an appearance point of view, there were a variety of looks from children to elders, but without any exception, all of them were well-featured. To the imperfect people of the Lower World, it is said that we will always be envious of their perfect appearances.
Miach-sama’s blue hair swayed, he revealed a smile and the corner of my mouth also eased down.
Then I remembered about Kami-sama……Hestia, so I asked a quick question.
“About this, Miach-sama, do you have any news regarding Hestia-sama? She went to a friend’s party two days ago, and, she still hasn’t come back……”
“You’re asking about Hestia? Mmm……Sorry. I don’t have any clues, so I can’t really help you.”
“No,no! Please don’t worry about it.”
After being apologized by a God-sama, I hurriedly waved my hands, this was really ridiculous.
“First the party you’re talking about should be Ganesha’s Banquet……But I did not attend the banquet that day. Maybe if I had shown up for a while, I would be able to understand something.”
“That, could it be because Miach-sama was not invited to the banquet?”
“No, they did invite me, but I, as the leader of an extremely poor
r products.”
Miach-sama’s
For an Adventurer like me who ran away from home and was able to build a relationship with Miach-sama was because……Well, what people say about how the lower-class companions bonded together.
“Ohoh, right Bell, I’ll give this to you. I have also mentioned it earlier, but this is a freshly-made potion.”
“EH!!”
Miach-sama placed a hand into the paper bag, and from within, took out two tubes and casually handed them over.
Then he said take it and shoved it to me, I took it without any hesitation.
The tall and thin container had a liquid that was like the deep blue color from the deep ocean water, the liquid was moving back and forth like waves.
“Mi…Miach-sama, this is !!?”
“What, it doesn’t hurt to be kind to your neighbors right?”
His somewhat malevolent glance stunned me, but then his manly smile appeared again.
He patted my back and immediately squeezed into the nearby crowd.
“Fuhaha, from now on Bell, I’m looking forward to your patronage to my
Miach-sama waved at me while his back was facing me.
I suddenly understood and smiled at the silhouette of Miach-sama that was mixed with the crowd.
I hurriedly bowed once again, then I placed the newly obtain recovery potions into the holster that was equipped on my left leg.
Miach-sama’s
Although I completely do not know how the potions were made. However, each
There are business-like factions that sell items, and there also exists blacksmith factions that created weapons and armors, I have also heard that there are factions that go catch fish in the ocean. Although the only ones that are considered as a
