I asked Elena, a blacksmith, to reforge Hob's hatchet (eltra ore) into a sword.

I showed her the mithril sword.

Oh, it's mithril silver. That's good. Shall we forge this one next? After Eltra, though.'
'Yes. I'll be careful not to break it until then.
'That's not a rookie line.

Elena laughs.

'Well then, go level up and wait for me. But if you're a level 10 warrior, you might as well try the 5th level.

Actually, I'm already 15, but I'll keep it to myself.
If I told you I gained 5 levels in one day, there would be an uproar.

I'll do that. I want to raise Prine's level too.

I look next to her and see Prine nodding her head. She is still getting used to Elena's presence.

Well, come back in a week. And tell me where to stay first. I may have to contact you.
This is the "Dove's White Feather" Pavilion. Please take good care of us.'

Bowing our heads, we left the workshop.
Longsword of eltra ore.
My very own sword.
I wonder what kind of sword it will be. I'm looking forward to it.





Dungeon attack, day 4, early afternoon.

The fourth layer.

Save point "Fountain of Recovery".


We're going down to the fifth level, Prine. Are you ready?
Yes! I'm fine!

Hearing my partner's cheerful reply, I nodded.

From the save point, I proceed in the opposite direction from the ore.

Within a short time, I find a large hole at the base of a huge tree. Upon closer inspection, I found a staircase leading down.

Prine, who had been in good health until a few minutes ago, is looking frail,

'Ugh, it's so narrow and dark. ......'
'I'll hold your hand. And turn on the firelight.
'Thank you, Mr. Ra! Yes!

A small fireball, adjusted by Prine, lit up and illuminated our feet.
We carefully descended the stairs.





Layer 5.

A battle between a party of adventurers.


It is said that the first hurdle for adventurers is to pass job level 5.

In the case of a party of four, the fifth level is reached right around that time.

This is also the first hurdle for a novice party.

Because--



d*mn, it's too fast! The attack doesn't hit me at all!
Oh, no, no, no, that guy over there is shooting magic at us!
'Hey! You haven't recovered yet!
Wait, wait! In turn, ......!'

A well-balanced party of warrior, thief, mage, and monk.
All of them were level 5, and it had been a month since the start of the attack.

After hunting slimes, defeating giant slugs, being ambushed by a ghost mole, being put to sleep by ghost mushrooms, and fighting off hordes of goblins, we finally arrived at the last room of the fifth level.

After the save point, a room leading to the stairs to the sixth level.

There, I found the "boss.

As I entered the large room and proceeded to the back, the door to the entrance closed by itself. The "other party" who were supposed to have entered the room with us disappeared before we knew it, and we found ourselves alone in the room.

Suddenly, a light comes on in the dark room, and a huge shadow appears in front of us.


Recovery! Recover, please!
'd*mn ....... I can't stop bleeding'....... I can't get any power ......'
'No! We're all gonna die! We'll be wiped out!
'I have no more magic power! I can't use it anymore!


A cry of grief echoes through the boss's room.

A shifu with a large laceration is on the verge of death, a mage who ran out of MP early is crying all the time, a monk is shedding tears as he searches for potions he thought he had used up, and a warrior who was desperately defending himself against monster attacks has just been blown to bits. He stopped moving.

It was probably the party's greatest stroke of luck that the monk's finger caught it in his bag.
A rare item that had just been picked up. The last hope the warrior had left for himself.

'...... sorry!

As soon as they shouted, their bodies were enveloped in light.



The door to the boss's room opens.

The monsters are gone, and so are the adventurers.





Me and Prine went down to an isolated island.

'Oh!
'Heh heh.'

There is a huge tree reaching to the sky, and there is a stairway to the fourth level. The staircase was obviously longer and higher than the distance we had descended.

In front of us is a sandy beach. And the blue sea that seemed to go on forever.
White clouds are drifting in the piercing blue sky.

'We're in a dungeon, aren't we ......?
'My head is getting all tangled up. ......'

He looks around.


The isolated island is covered with thick forest. Mountains can be seen, but they are not so high. Beyond the sea, I saw a small lump of stone. It might be a building.

Prine approaches the beach and touches the water.

It's freezing!
'Is it real?
It's salty!
Salt water. It's the sea, isn't it? This is a dungeon made by the old gods.

ZaZaZaZa.
Zazazan. .......

'I've never seen the sea before......'
'Me too. Sukuk doesn't have that, the sea ......'

Waves coming and going.
Sand being snatched away.
Tiny crabs waddling.
Fish swimming in the shallows.
The smell of the sea that clings to your body.
The horizon in the distance.
The blue border between sky and sea.

It was the sea.

I was overwhelmed by the sight of it for the first time.
We held hands and cried a little.


Zazan.
Za-za-.......



Oh, no! We're going to lose the day at this rate!
'Yes, that's right!
'I feel like doing this forever, but maybe another time.
'Yeah!

Use the sheaf skills of mapping and treasure hunting.
He takes out the supplied map and circles the location of the save point and the treasure chest.

'The save point is ...... that stone.
'Stones?'
'There it is.

And he points his finger. It is the small stone across the sea that we found earlier.

It looks like a building, though it looks like a stone from here. It seems to be an entrance to the basement.
'How do we get there?'
'It looks like there's a shallow path on the other side. 'Right, let's get the treasure chest in the woods and go from there.
'Yes!



As usual, we use our treasure-hunting skills to get the treasure chest.

'Poison remover!
'Paralysis elimination!
'Poison extinguisher!
'Clown card!
'Dancer's rags!
'Iron spear!

We encountered goblin-type monsters several times along the way, but we were able to fight them off with no problem using Prine's magic.
We examine the items we got.

'There are a lot of poison removers.
There was also one called 'paralysis remover.
'Probably, goblin-type monsters use it.
'I see! That's what I'm talking about, Mr. Ra!

Next.

'Clown cards are ...... these playing cards? I wonder what it's used for.
'Oh, oh, the dancer's cloth cloths: ....... Do you, by any chance, wear this ......?'

Prine pinches the rags fearfully with her fingers.
Two thin pieces of cloth.
It is natural to think of them as a top and bottom.

Maybe ....... This one piece of cloth covers her breast like this: ......'.
'Whew!
'And another one, this one has a stopper here, so you can put it between your legs like this: ......'
'Whew!

It's gonna stick out! Prine hides her face with her hands.
Well, to put it simply, it's a "tube top" and a "loincloth.
Anna, the guild receptionist, once said 'more embarrassing than being naked'.

'...... I'll save it for a while.
What are you going to use it for?

I stare at Prine.
Prine quickly covers her chest.

'It's nothing, okay?
'Ugh, d*mn it! Absolutely sh*t!
'Well, let's see the iron spear.
'...... woo,rah-kun eh ......'

I won't deny it.
He's a boy.

I'm a boy..." he says, twirling the iron spear in his hand.

'Wow, Ra-kun, you can use a spear too?
'I've never used it, but ...... apparently the job compensation allows you to use it.'

He swings it around and tries to perform kata like a martial artist.
He moves his feet lightly, spinning the spear on his back, throwing it in the air and catching it with his feet, or thrusting it into the void,

Ha!

With a snap, it was decided.

Ra-kun is so cool!
'That's great. My body moves on its own.
'Is it job compensating?'
'It seems so.'

Check status.

There are more 'spear techniques'. And suddenly it's level 15. I guess it was adjusted to the job level.
'That's right!
It is indeed a job of an expert in weapons. If you equip it, you can use anything.
'That's great!

My skills will remain the same even if I change my job, so even if I become a mage, I will still be able to use a sword and a spear. Though my strength and speed will be reduced.

I want to equip myself with various other things before I change jobs.
I'll take my chances!

Well, I'm done with the treasure chests.

Just when I thought it was time to head for the save point..,

Aah!
Nooo!

I heard a scream. A woman and a man. They were out of detection range.
They may have been attacked by a monster.

Let's go, Prine!
Yes, yes!

We ran.
