She makes me take the ice axe and the basket, and says, "Elena, you have to go up there.

'Wait for me. I'll make you a guide stone.
''Guiding stone?''
'Special ores in the dungeon have the property of guiding you to the location of the same ore when you bring it to them.
In other words, if you have a guide stone, you know where to find the Eltra ore.
That's what I'm talking about. Do you know anyone in Sifu? If you know someone who has a mapping, ask him to help. It'll show up on the map.
'Well, yes. Yes, sir. Mapping. Okay.

By "acquaintance," I mean me. You don't think I changed jobs from being a Thief on the second day of the attack, do you?

Elena dismantles Hobb's hatchet with an expert hand. She plunges the ore part into the furnace and begins to work.

The work proceeds fluidly. Her refined movements are truly beautiful.

As she carefully transfers a small amount of the molten Eltra ore into a small container,

'......I've got one question for you.

Elena-san opened her mouth.

'You're a very skillful man, aren't you? You've got my attention, that's for sure.
''You're good at casually putting yourself up for sale.''
But Prine doesn't look like that. He's not cut out to be an adventurer. He's better suited to stay in his room and read a book or something.
'Well, I agree with you there.
Then why don't you go alone? I think you're slowing us down, Prine.

Why do you say: .......
I don't even know where to begin to explain: .......

To begin with, I don't think I'll ever be able to learn the magic of the higher level jobs.

After I have experienced all the basic jobs, I will go to an advanced warrior job. Since I don't know if it is possible to change from one advanced job to another, I think this is the fastest way to conquer the dungeon.

I can't learn the advanced magic that can only be used by advanced level players.

In such a case, what I need is my friends.

Friends who can compensate for my weak points. Friends who will work together to conquer the dungeon.

That's what you need.

I said.

Prine will be the Sorcerer King.

Elena stopped and looked at me.

''What?''

I repeat.

'He will become the Sorcerer King.

'Is a high mage that high ...... mage? The most powerful when it comes to offensive magic, you know?

'Yes. It's not that I believe in it or anything, but it's absolutely true.

'...... How do you know?'

You can tell by looking at him. Prine is basically a guy who can't do anything on his own, but when he focuses on something, he gets great results. He once won the first place overall in an academic exam in King's Landing, which he took along with other adults. I was only six years old.

'There's a difference between studying and magic. ......'

'Maybe not. But once he set his goal, he never makes a mistake in his 'upbringing'. Once he decides to become a great mage, that's what he's going to be. It doesn't matter what his skills are.

'No, aren't you contradicting what you're saying? You can't do anything on your own, can you? That's why I'm slowing you down. ......'

'I can't do anything on my own. I'm ....... I don't mean to be rude, but I can't do anything without you, that guy.

If it were...''

''Yes. Then 'I should be by your side'. I can be his 'home' to protect him and give him confidence. That's all you need to do. He'll become a great mage. He will definitely help me.

'What's that ......?'

'I'm going to be an advanced warrior. It probably won't take me more than a month if I do it alone. But then I'll probably be stuck ( ). Without a companion to grow up with - well, without the strongest mage with me, I can't conquer this dungeon - I don't think.

'...... Why don't you just find something else? When you're at the top of your game,'' he said.

'How can there be a mage with more talent than him?

'The dungeon is big, man.

I can't be so foolish as to leave a golden egg about to hatch and just fly around looking for food myself.

So I say.

So, I have to raise Prine myself, which is the shortest route to reach an unprecedented realm. If I leave Prine alone, he will die, and if Prine dies, I won't be able to save my sister. The sooner we get there, the better. I'm sure those who are watching around me are getting jealous.

Silence fell over the workshop.

'I understand what you're saying. But, hey...'

Elena blurted out as she worked.

'You guys have a very calculating relationship, don't you?

He laughed.

'This is just a rationale,' he said.
''What?''
'Of course, I'm raising Prine for the dungeon. But the main reason I'm with him is because I--''





Elena gave me an "Eltra Guiding Stone".



It is a small gem the size of an almond. If you put it on your hand and move it, it is said to glow when the elutra ore turns in a certain direction.

In addition, I have also brought some of Elena's artifacts and amulets. It seems to make our dungeon crawling a little easier.

When I returned to the inn, I found Prine. She is hunched over her desk, reading a book on magic.
Elena is right, it really suits her to read a book in her room.

'Prinay?
'............ bump'
'Prine-san?
'............ I see, it's like this, oh my.'
'Pouliene-san?

I put my hand on his head.

'Wahyaaaa! Oh, Mr. Ra! Welcome home!
I'm home. Sorry to interrupt.
It's okay. I thought I'd take a break.

I looked at the stack of magic books next to me,

'Wow, you borrowed a lot of money.
'This is the one I'm returning. I'm done with it.
'Seriously? You've already read it!
'Ha-ha-ha. It's pretty much the same thing, isn't it? It's just from a different angle. That's why you can read them so easily.
'I don't know about you, but I know you're awesome.'
'Heh heh heh. I'm not great.

Prine with a grin. Cute.

'Ra-kun, did you make the sword?
'Well, you know, I'm running out of materials...'
'What? Then what are you going to do?
'I'm going digging. It's late today, so I'll see you tomorrow. Come with me.
'Of course!
'Here's a souvenir. Elena's talisman.

He gives her a hair ornament with a floral design that improves her sleep resistance. He has a Yankee-like tone, but he is really sensitive and surprising in this kind of thing.

She gave me this? Yay! Thank you, Ra! I'll take good care of it!

Prine to put it on right away.
A large, pure white flower blooms in her glossy black hair. The contrast between black and white is striking.

How do you like ......?

Prine asks me hesitantly.
I answered with a straight face.

'She's so cute, she's going to die.
'Really! Thanks Ra-kun, I love you!

He patted Prine's head as she hugged him.

Then let's go out for dinner.
'Yes! Gohan Gohan!

Prine, who transitions from hugging me to her arms. Her big breasts crawl over my body and her soft body heat. So comfortable.
After leaving the room, we went to the bar area at the end of the inn district.



The bar "Hoshi-no-Sara" (Star Dish).

In the corner of the bar, where sake mugs, plates of food, and noise are flying around, Prine and I have dinner.

We eat bowls of rice while pecking at raw fish brought from the land of the sea, frozen by freezing magic.

The land of Sukuk is famous not only for its dungeons, but also for its delicious food. In other countries, one cannot eat fish or even white rice. It is no wonder that the current queen, Ulusukku, is so fond of rice donated from faraway lands in the Orient that she has had it produced. Long live the queen. Long live rice farming!

Prine is eating a small piece of barley bread. She says this and pumpkin soup are all she needs.

Whenever she takes a mouthful of soup, the expression on Prine's face twists into a happy one.
Seeing this, I feel relaxed.

--How can you be so calm?

Both Anna and Elena asked me that.
I think, "Don't be silly.

Who is calm?
