Martina gets a little angry.

'Hey, hey, Gigi! Please don't talk to me in such a vulgar way!

But Gigi won't stop.

Both of them seemed to be dazzled by the beauty of Miss Martina. If we form a party with a really scary and beautiful monk, we have a chance...' I guess they thought so. Ha-ha-ha. She's so energetic.
'One Chan ....... So you were just a pickup artist. ......'
Well, well, that's fine. When I was young, I did a lot of ....... No, I don't care what you say about me. Anyway, Martina fell in love with two men without realizing it, and they had adventures together.

Martina was so excited,

'............ they were both very nice to me. And yet,......'
'Yes, and then, the day before the boss attack, he asked me to break up the party.

I ask, confused.

'Well, uh, did you two hook up?'
'No, no, nothing like that ....... I was completely unaware of it, so ......'

Gigi-san giggled again.

''They got scared before they put out their hands, those two.
''Well, what the hell is that?''
'Our master has given us permission to reveal our identities on the eve of the boss attack. It is the eve of an important test. It is only natural that we should reveal the purpose of our journey. But as soon as Martina says her first and last name, the blood drains from their faces. I wish I could have shown you. I wish I could have shown you their faces.
'........................'
I guessed that he was from a noble family, but the name he came up with was so bad that he was scared of the other party. He probably thought she was the naive daughter of a fallen aristocrat.
'........................'
'Well, for my part, I'm glad they don't have the ambition to ingratiate themselves with us. Ha-ha-ha-ha.

Gigi-san, who was laughing with amusement, seemed to be really displeased with the bad insects approaching the young lady.
Martina-san is getting smaller and smaller.
Gigi continues.

'Since that happened, I thought I would tell you that I am an aristocrat first of all. Unfortunately, I can't give you his name. ......'

Gigi raises his eyebrows.

You know what I mean. That's what I meant.

That's right. I'm not naming names, but I can think of a nobleman.

A nobleman who allowed his daughter to become an adventurer and asked her to bring him the proof.

Maybe... the Earl of Mackenzie. Lord of the eastern part of Sukuk and an adventurer himself. This place has been sending children to dungeons and educating them for generations. It is a famous story.

The Kingsguard and the Knights are all composed of former adventurers. They are the most martial noblemen in the kingdom of Sukuk. Adventurers who approach the princess with the intention of picking her up will probably run away in fear.

Says Martina.

It is the role of the nobles to protect their people in case of war with other countries. Your father used to tell us to remember what it means to fight.
'You're a princess, but you're a ......'
'For my father, it doesn't matter if you're a man or a woman. In that respect, I was allowed to be free and not bound by any strange restrictions because I was a woman. ......'
'I'm more relaxed now, but Martina used to be a naughty girl.
'Gigi'.
''I'm sorry.''

Well, once you become an adventurer and get a job, the difference in combat ability between men and women almost disappears thanks to status compensation.

Martina continues.

'You can take only one squire with you, but he must be a "clown" or a "dancer" to be accepted. ....... It's just a test for me.
'So Gigi, you are a 'clown' ......'

The way I see it ,

'It suits my nature, though.'

Gigi put out her hand and turned it over. Suddenly a flower pops out. It's a magic trick.
Gigi is a clown, smirking. He is very convincing.

Says Martina.

But we can't take on the boss alone. We were fighting in the fifth level to at least raise our level, but we misjudged our strength due to the sudden loss of a warrior and a shifu. The goblins that we had defeated so easily had caught us off guard ......, and then Rana rushed to our rescue.

Martina looked me straight in the eye,

'Please, Rana. Please, Lana, I need your help. I only need to conquer the fifth layer. I will pay you for your help. I will also give you the items for the boss.

I see.

I got the general gist.

I'll check it out.

Basically, once you conquer a boss, you can't fight him again. You know that, right?
'Yes.

Therefore, it is impossible to "attack a boss with a high level adventurer. The high level adventurers usually have already cleared the level of the boss and cannot fight the boss again.

In other words, my value is very high because I have not beaten the boss of the 5th level even though I am a level 15 warrior.

You read the other side of my words,

'As for the gratuities,' he said.

He showed me his guild card.
The back of the guild card, to be exact.

'This is the amount of money we are thinking of giving you.

He showed me. He wrote exactly what he meant on the back of the guild card with a pen.


For the price of ten expensive swords, you can stay at this hotel for a year.
Oh no. He's breathing hard. Breathe.

'............. I understand.

I could hang more, but it's no fun to be too greedy.

'More,' he said.

and Gigi.

'I have a 'special gift' for you from Miss Martina.
'Special ......?

I looked at Martina and she blushed.

'I'm going to give you something I've treasured since I was a child, ......' she said.

What's that?

'I'm a little confused. ......'
'That ...... I mean ......'
''You mean?''
'So ......'
"So?

After squeezing her mouth, Ms. Martina said, as if she had made up her mind.

I will give you the grimoire that I have treasured since I was a child.

.............

Seriously.

A grimoire is a very expensive thing, isn't it? That's for us!
''Shh! Be quiet, Master Rana.

I stood up excitedly, and Gigi gave me a good scolding.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
I sit back down.

'I'm sorry. ....... I was so surprised. ......

Prine something is losing its voice next to me. Shut your mouth, shut your mouth.

There are many grimoires in the guild library. The basic grimoires like the one Prine is reading now are not so expensive - you can still buy that expensive sword - but the precious grimoires that the nobles have in their own possession are very expensive. .

There is even an anecdote that when a nobleman has a child, he gives him a jewel or a grimoire for emergencies.

You want us to ...... it?

'Well, you know, I'm not sure how much I'd like to ...... just one precious book.
'No, we have several.

Oh, yeah?
I gave her an indescribable look, and she said, "I don't know,

'Oh, um, we can't give you all of them, as expected. ......'
No, no, I didn't mean that!

I'm getting flustered.

I think it would be perfect for Prine the Mage, don't you? If you want, you can sell it to the guild.
'That's--yes. It's perfect.'
'(Koku koku koku koku koku)'

Prine is shaking her head like a broken doll.
She must want to read it.
Then that's all we need to know.

I understand.

I nodded.

'I'll accept your request to join the party to attack the boss in the 5th layer.

Martina smiles brightly.

'Thank you very much! Lady Rana! You are my prince on a white horse!

Saying this, she shakes my hand and gazes at me.

'Oh, no, ......'.

I'm in trouble.
I must have seen this kind of scene many times. Gigi smiles with a happy or troubled look on her face.

'............'

Next to me, Prine was looking at me with a face like the end of the world.
I wonder what she is thinking.





We go to the guild to apply for a party change.

The receptionist, Anna, looked a little surprised, but immediately smiled,

Then, please wait a moment while we apply.

And the process went ahead without a hitch.

A few minutes later, we were officially a party, and we decided to have dinner together to greet each other and discuss our plans.



The night of the fourth day of the dungeon crawl.

Dinner at "Kanazuchi-tei".

We exchanged guild cards to officially form the party.

It is quite refreshing to see other people's guild cards.
It is really interesting to compare Prine and Martina. While Martina's HP is much higher than Prine's, Prine's MP is higher than Martina's even though she is one level lower. Both of them have low defenses, which must be a reflection of their plain level.

Gigi's tuxedo has a very high defense. Why is it harder than my armor?
It was soft when I touched it. I heard it's a high quality fabric, but cloth is cloth. It's supposed to repel swords and magic. I wonder if the fiber is special. I don't understand the gear of a job at all.

I am not the only one who enjoys looking at other people's stats.
Martina jumps up when she sees my guild card.

Yo, you're already at warrior level 15 on the 4th day! Wow ...... you have tremendous talent, Rana!
Oh, that's a mistake. Well, it's actually the 25th, but for some reason it doesn't count from the 4th day. The guild is looking into it.

I'm the one who tells the lies I've prepared.
My heart hurts.

'No, ......, that's still great enough. We've been diving for about a month now, and we're only at level 7.

I heard that usually you are stranded for about 6 months at level 5, so I think you are still pretty fast.
Just as Prine is able to climb up quickly thanks to her mage skills, Martina must be benefited by her monkish skills.

Martina-san is looking at me enchantedly.

'It's fate that I met you after all,......, Rana-sama,.......'

I was horrified.
Gigi shakes her head. Please stop.
Prine hid and squeezed my hand. It hurts.

I wonder if she's really okay like this.
