Dungeon attack, Day 16.

The 21st layer.

Before the stairs to the 22nd level.

Me and Prine were crying.

The fairy disappeared.

The fairy seemed to have Mary's consciousness in her.

I wipe my tears and smile at Prine.

'He's really not a cute guy, is he?
'It was very Mary, very Mary.
'You haven't changed a bit. All you do is worry about us when you're going through what you're going through. ......'
'Yeah. Yeah.

Prine looks up at me and nods. I am so happy that she is with me now, that she feels the same way as I do.

I hug Prine gently.

We look at each other and kiss.

Our lips part and we laugh at each other.

'Heh heh heh'.
'Ehehe.'

I turned my gaze toward the stairs.

'It looks like there's a save point right after we go down to the 22nd level. After saving, let's go back. The next layer will be harder.
''Yes, that's right!

We separated our bodies and, hand in hand, descended the stone steps one by one.





It was already evening when we came out of the dungeon.

We go to the guild and get a status sheet.

Oh, we did it, Prine!
You did it, Ra!

Immediately, he had advanced to the level of a Mage Warrior.

'Level 3 or ....... I only went up 2 levels.
Maybe it's hard to get a higher level job. Still, it's amazing that you could reach level 3 in one day, Ra-kun!

''Prine has gone up one level too!
Yes!

He pats her on the head. Very cute.

We left the guild.



The guild shopping district.

Elena's workshop.

In the vacant lot next to the guild, some kind of hut was being built. I guess it is Elena's new facility.

Elena-san!

The door to the workshop is open.

I looked inside and called out to them.

Hello, Rana. And you, too, Prine.

It was not Elena who answered me, but Dorothy, the coordinator. She is a dark elf woman who supports the expansion plan of Elena's workshop.

Elena wants to concentrate now. She has locked herself in the back workroom and asked that no one come in for a while. She is finishing up her work. If it's all right with me, I'll leave a message.
Oh, I see. Then could you please give this to him? It's a rare material.'

He took out the "reins of the sacred horse," which he had obtained in the 21st layer.

''Yes, sir.

I asked Dorothy, who received the item with great care.

What are your expansion plans like?

Yes," said Dorothy, touching her own long ears.

'Have you seen the shack next door? We are renting the land over there and adding more facilities for the time being.
'For the time being,' means .......
'Yes. We found a nice place close to the dungeon. We are going to build a new workshop there. We are currently requesting quotations. Once we have a figure, we will report it to our sponsor, Mr. Rana.
''Thank you very much!

But," said Dorothy, her face clouded.

Before that, Elena has some matters that need to be dealt with. It's her problem, and I'm not at liberty to interfere. ......'
'What kind of '

What's the problem? I was about to ask,

'It's done!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Elena's yell could be heard coming from inside the workshop. A loud noise, and then a face popped out from the back of the workshop,

'Miss Dorothy! I made the one you advised me to make! How's that! Isn't that awesome?

He looked happy and showed her what looked like a cloak.

His eyes looked at me and Prine and the others.

Elena's long ears turned red.

Why Rana and Prine! You guys were here!

He's dismayed.

We were so embarrassed that we came to report what we had made on Dorothy's advice, thinking that she was the only one who could do it, and we were there too. I guess you could say that.

Hmmm...

What are you laughing at, Lana?
'No, I'm not laughing.
'You're laughing at me!

Ms. Dorothy will intercede.

'Elena-san. Is it finished?


Ah! Oyoyo! It's done!

Elena looked at me,

'Just right. Lana, it's yours. Here!

He handed me the cloak.

I took the cloak and immediately felt the "holy power" that resided in it.

Elena proudly rubbed her nose,

'If I had to give it a name - I'd call it the 'Cloak of the Old Court'.
'I knew it--'

Elena had made the cloak out of the "old court vestments" that I had given her earlier.

Normally, only monks can wear the "Robe of the Ancient Court". To be precise, if a non-monk wears it, the holy power will not appear, and it will be just a "beautiful cloak" with no defense power. Therefore, it is meaningless even if I, a "magic warrior," wear it now.

However, Elena-san has made it into a cloak that can be worn by any "job".

With this, the "Vestments of the Ancient Court" can draw out its original defensive power.

If it's a cloak, you can wear it with that armor, can't you?
'Yes, thank you, Elena!
'Heh, that means it's good!

Elena-san looks satisfied, and then what? He sat down in front of us.

What's the matter with you guys today?

Dorothy, you're here,

'You two have brought a rare item with you.
'Rare? Oh, this one.

Elena took the reins of the sacred horse and nodded her head after thinking for a moment.

''You can use it as it is. I can use it as it is.

I ask.

'As it is?'
'Yeah. I'll put it on your cape. Just a minute.

Elena took the cloak and retreated back into the back room.

We waited.

Here it is!

Elena-san threw the cloak to me.

It seems that she has attached the reins of a sacred horse to the neck of the cloak.

I quickly put it on and looked at the status.

'Defense +80! It's the same as the Skrill Mail!
Isn't that awesome?
'Wow. ....... It's a cape. ....... It's amazing ......'

Prine is standing next to me in amazement.

As I recall, she was +50 when she wore the vestments.

'+30 on the reins of a sacred horse alone?
''You think?''
'Don't be a waste of time, tell me about it.'

Elena-san laughs.

'When I put the cloak back on, it was still stained. It's the same as the 'holy spear' I gave you yesterday. Along with the new equipment, I also got the tools to handle the sacred armor, so I used them to remove the stain, and now my defense is also improved.

'Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!
'Heh! Right?

Elena beams with delight.

'Bring me the materials again! I'll make you as strong as you want!

I can always count on you.

I remember that.

'By the way, Elena-san, is there any problem with--'
'Mr. Rana, Ms. Prine, what would you like for tea?'

Interrupting my words, Dorothy asked me.

I looked at Dorothy and she shook her head.

She shook her head as if to say, "Now is not the time to talk about it.

I responded with the acting skills I had developed as a clown.

It's up to you. I'll leave it to you. Preferably a high one.
'I'll leave it to you, too.

Elena-san laughed broadly and sat up.

''Oh! You're my sponsor! Oh, Miss Dorothy, I'll do it.
'No, Elena-san. You should have a long talk with your sponsor.
'Is that so? Okay, sorry.

He sits back in his chair.

From the looks of him, he doesn't seem to be in much trouble. .......

Whatever it is, I hope it gets resolved soon, and I'd like to help if I can.

I'll ask Dorothy later, I thought.





The next day .

Dungeon attack, day 17.

The 22nd level.

The save point was a stone monument at the entrance to the forest.

A dense forest spread out before us.

Prine and I held hands, and we both gulped.

This is the 22nd level of the Devil.

Yes, the 22nd level where the guild leader, Alexander Gustafsson, a legendary gladiator (sword fighter), had stranded many adventurers until he conquered it.

Taking a deep breath, I put strength into Prine's hand.

Let's go, Prine!
Yes, Mr. Ra!

Even if we have to let go ( ) of this hand, we will keep moving forward.
