Dungeon attack, Day 11.

17th level.

A small room with a save point.

Ra-kun, you made it down from the 10th to the 17th floor! That's amazing!''
I was in a hurry. No, no. I wasn't in a hurry.

I was able to rush without being rushed. I'm proud to say that this is a considerable growth for me.

Prine is now able to fight on her own without me, and if we get separated again, she'll be fine.
'Whew! Are you going to leave ......? No, no, no, Mr. Ra! I want to be with you all the time!

Prine hugging me tightly. Because of the height difference, her huge breasts fit my stomach. They squish together.
I stroke her head, savoring the happy sensation.

Don't get me wrong. I'll be with you forever.

Prine looked up at me with her eyebrows raised in a c-shape.

Really?

So f*cking cute.

Really, really. Good boy.
'Coo-coo.'

After defeating the 17th floor boss, Prine and I decided to leave the dungeon, even though it was still early evening. Prine was lonely like an abandoned dog.

We teleported to the second level.

'Ra-kun, Ra-kun.
'Good, good.'

Prine sniffing me with a sniff, sniff, sniff while holding me. Is she really a dog?

I exit the dungeon with a wry smile on my face and see a familiar face at the entrance.

Oh, just in time. Saves me the trouble of going to the inn.

A beautiful, long-eared half-elf with blond hair in a ponytail.

She was Elena, a veteran blacksmith apprentice.

She was carrying a long package.

'Oh, hello.
'Oh, sorry to keep you waiting.

Well, I thought we didn't have an appointment.

What was it?
I don't know what you're talking about. Here, it's ready.

And he hands me the package he was carrying with a big jerk.

I took it out of his hand,

'Swords ......!

'No, why are you surprised ....... Oh, you forgot about it, didn't you!
'No, no, no, I haven't forgotten! I was just surprised!

I see. I guess it's been at least seven days since you told me it would take about a week to finish.

It's done, isn't it?
'Hey, how's it going?

I take the sword out of its sheath and look at it.

It is a long sword, just as I requested. The color of the blade is emerald green, probably because it is made of eltra ore. It shines faintly.

The apprentice blacksmith proudly announces its name.

It's an eltral sword.

'This ...... is amazing ......!

I knew the moment I held it. I knew without even trying. It will definitely stand up to my fighting skills. Its rigidity rivals that of a holy spear. Or maybe even better. ......!

When I equip it,

It's attack power +55......! Wow, it's a lot stronger than I thought it would be!
What do you mean "more than I expected"?

Oh, man, I just said that.

'Well, the material was Eltra ore, which can be found in the 4th layer, so I thought it might not be too strong. ......'
'You're an idiot. It was originally a hatchet used by the hobgoblins in the 10th layer.
'Oh, by the way...'
It's true that you can get them in the 4th layer, but they are all low purity. Unless you're a very good blacksmith, it's impossible to process them.
You are really good at casually lifting yourself up, aren't you?
'I told you at the beginning. I told you at the beginning that it costs a hell of a lot of money to process.

I think he told me that.

Weapons made by a blacksmith are often useful for the life of the adventurer. Even this El Toral Sword is a sword that you can use for a lifetime of prey.
'This would be ...... surely ......!

I nodded, and Elena nodded in satisfaction.

Right? Heh, you guys cleared the 5th level a week ago, right? That means I'm on the 7th layer now, or maybe 10th layer since you guys are pretty amazing. A weapon of that size would have an attack power of +30 at most. Now it's +55! No, it's okay, it's okay to be surprised!

Me and Prine look at each other.
I asked her timidly.

'Have you read the guild newspaper?
'What? I don't read it, though, do I?
'Actually, ......'

I told him the hierarchy I had just been in.



'Hah! I cleared the 17th layer ahhhh! Eleventh day, eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!'
'Hey, your voice, your voice is so loud!
'Mo mo mo mo mo!

I cover the mouth of Miss Yankee Half-Elf and take her to the shadows, and Prin e who is attached to me with a gasp. It's like I'm kidnapping her.

'We've unwillingly become famous, so please be quiet!
'Mo mo mo mo ......! Well, seriously, ....... I mean, that thing you're holding, the holy spear, is a holy relic. ......!

He points at the holy spear I hold.

It looks like a legendary weapon.
'Sounds like' ....... Oh well. ....... Wow, then the sword I hit, is it .................. weak by any chance? After all, you can't be an apprentice after 30 years of training. ......?'

Please don't suddenly look up and become weak.

'No, the Sacred Spear is +50, but the Eltral Sword is +55, so the weapon you hit is stronger than the one Elena-san hit.

I thought I heard a twitch in his long ears.

'Heh? Seriously? More than a relic? Strong?''
'Yes, numerically speaking.
'Is the sword I struck stronger than the legendary weapon?
Yes, numerically speaking.
'.................. Heh!

Elena-san, who seems to have regained her confidence, is puffing out her chest.

I know, right?

A smug look with all his might.

'You're depressing, you apprentice craftsman with 30 years of training.
'Don't talk like that! You're hurting me!

Oh, I've been talking again.

No, but the sword is really strong. Contrary to my expectations.
'Again you say "unexpectedly"...'
'I know. It's a weapon that can be used for a lifetime.
'You're serious, aren't you? You mean it, don't you? You seem to have become a lot more racy and fishy after not seeing you for a while. ....... And you're dressed like a clergyman, which makes you look strangely handsome and confusing. ......'
'Prine told me that too,......'

He changed jobs from clown to martial artist to monk.
And this Prine is staring at the eltral sword next to him.

'Wow, beautiful ....... Um, is this, by any chance, ......'?

Unusually, he spoke to Elena. Not just unusual. It might be the first time.
Good job, Prine. You're getting stronger and stronger!

'By any chance, though: ......'
'Heh, you got it?

Elena looked at Prine as if she was good at what she was doing.

'Yes! You're wearing mithril silver, aren't you ......? I can feel the magic.''

I'm surprised.

'Seriously?
'Yeah. Maybe this sword can grant ...... magic.
'For real!

Elena nodded yes.

'That's right, how's that!
'That's great, Elena-san! You look like you're having so much fun!''
'Right? Well, Prine, you have a good eye, don't you?
'Hehehe ...... thank you ......'

Prine is horrified. But you look happy. That's good.
Elena, you're an amazing craftsman. I wasn't sure at first, but I'm glad I asked.
I was a fool to think that.

Then, Elena-san grabbed Prine's chest.

She said, 'You're hanging something that looks like it's going to get in the way. It's so heavy! I wonder if this is heavier than an eltral sword! That's awesome!

The half-elf lifts up Prine's big tits and expresses his honest opinion.

'Nyawawawawawawawawawawawawawawawawawawawawawawawawawawawawawawawawawaw!
'Wow! ....... Chooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo ......'

I smile and talk to him.

'Elena-san?'
'You're always rubbing her tits like this, Rana. Hey, what's the matter, you look so scary ......'
'I heard you can grant magic.
'Uh, yes.
If I hit him with a heal, will he recover?''
I don't know...?
Can I try it with Elena-san?
''I'm sorry.''

Elena apologizes meekly.
Indeed, Prine's breasts are mine and mine alone.

She makes a face that says 'Prine's breasts are mine and mine alone. ......'.

Elena mutters softly. Did she look like that?


But Prine wiggles shyly.

'Hehehe ...... already, Ra-kun. ......'
'You're getting delirious with you too, there!

I cough.

'Well, that's that. ...... Elena, thank you very much. Well, you can thank me at .......'
''I don't need it.''

Elena waved her hand with a "haha".

'I told you I can't get paid for being an apprentice.
'Then something else ....... I'll buy an amulet like I did the other day.
'Oh, that's very kind of you. You're a very disciplined guy, aren't you?

Elena laughs. But her face immediately turns thoughtful,

'But what is it? I'm glad we had the elutra ore this time, but I'm not so sure about the future.
''Beyond this?''
'You ain't not thinkin' about it, are you? The weapons in the dungeon are indeed powerful. I agree. But I'm not saying this because I'm a blacksmith, but they would be much stronger if you let us ...... work on them.

That's right.
A weapon that surpasses even the holy spear can be obtained by investing materials from the fourth layer and a lot of money.

Then, what if...
If we take this "holy spear" as a material and combine it with other materials and forge it ......?

As if she had read my thoughts, Elena shook her head.

'I'm sorry, but there is a problem. The furnace we have at home can't handle that level of material.
''Furnaces are not all the same, are they?
Of course. The mithril silver was made possible because of my skill. I'll have to get a furnace that can handle magic elements. ......'

Can't you prepare it? Elena sighed when I asked her with a look.

'It's very expensive. It's not something an apprentice can afford.
'I see. ......'

I thought to myself, "Well, that's a good idea.

'Prine, give me an ear.
'Yes.'
'What, are you talking in private in front of people? How far are you two idiots from being a couple?

A Yankee apprentice says something, but I ignore it.
I talk to Prine.

'I'm thinking of ......, what do you think?
'I think it's good! Yes, I think it's very good!
'Yes! Prine's permission has been granted.
I mean, I'll do whatever you say, Mr. Ra.
'You're smart enough to say it's OK, so it means it's a no-brainer.
'Not so smart...'

'No, guys? Enough of this?
'Sorry to keep you waiting, Elena. I have a proposal.
'Oh, you're back with a natural move. What is it?
'No matter how many weapons Elena-san makes for me, it doesn't cost me any money. That's very tasty, but it goes against your teachings. It's no fun for me either.
''Oh?''
'So - we will be Elena's sponsors!
'Huh!

Yes, a sponsor.
We will pay the cost of the weapons, plus additional funds.
Because--

'Then you can get a new furnace and make more powerful weapons.
'Is... I see, hey.

Elena looked surprised, but her understanding seemed to be catching up with her.

'I see, that's what you mean. ......! Ha, you guys ......! Are you sure ( ), really (...)!'

This means that they have taken a liking to Ms. Elena. There are plenty of other blacksmiths. However, the relationship with a craftsman is more about trust than anything else. It is not so easy to find someone who is willing to deal with a rookie like us.

And above all, I was impressed by the eltral sword.
I had never even heard of magic - not even from Diego!
It would be a shame to let go of a blacksmith who could do such interesting things!

I held out my hand.

'We trust the skills of a 30-year apprentice blacksmith who looks like a foul-mouthed yankee,' he said.
'Keep that kind of thing to yourself, okay? It hurts, doesn't it? --But I get it.

Elena shakes my hand firmly.

'I'll take care of it! I'll get you the best weapons!

Thus, our resident blacksmith (apprentice) was born.

Immediately afterwards, Elena-san suddenly became fidgety,

'But, you know,...... a furnace that can handle magic elements is very expensive,......'.

He quotes a price.

Prine and I looked at each other again.

'For the time being, do you need this much money?

We had saved up a lot of money from gold crabmeat, necklaces given to us by Rodriguez and his friends, guild information fees, and other things, so we offered them some of ours.

Elena-san turned serious.

'Hey, you guys have been in the dungeon for 11 days, right ......?
'Yes, but...'
'...... I think I'll become an adventurer too.'


'Just hit the sword.

Then we took the items we had acquired so far that could be used as materials to Elena's workshop, and we parted ways.

Yes! Let's do it!

I could hear his spirited yell as we left the workshop and walked a short distance away.



On our way to the guild.

Anna happened to be at the reception desk, so we called out to her.

Anna-san, thank you for your hard work.
Oh, Rana and Prine, you are early today.

When I told him what had happened, he said, 'You cleared it already? Anna was surprised.

'That's really great, you two. ....... Anyway, congratulations on the 17th layer! I'm glad to see that you've grown.

I nodded.

'Prine has shown remarkable growth. I'm proud of her.
'ehehe ....... Ra-kun has brought me up to this point.''
''Yes, yes, sister, I am very happy...''

Well," said Anna, pulling out a sheet.
It's a status sheet for me and Prine.

We did it, Rana... Prine...'

I looked at it and...

--Yay!

I strike a gut-punch in my heart.
My monk level is up to 20!

Prine next to me was also happy to see me, clasping her hands in front of her chest.

'(You did it, Ra-kun!)'.

I looked at Prine's sheet and nodded.

'(Sneaking around) You've raised your game too! That's right, of course!''
'(Sneak) Heh heh, thank you, Ra-kun.

'Yes, don't make out with me. But I'm not asking you to make out with me in public, okay?

''I understand.''
''I'm sorry.''

Anna looked at me and nodded.

'Rana, it's good ......!
'Yes, ......!

I'm at level 20.
That means I can do it.

I'm going to change my job to the last basic job--mage!
