Chapter 106 – 30,000 Miles in Search of Equipment (2)
“Oh, but still, a man is still a man? Hehe.”
“Haha, it’s a little embarrassing.”
I pretended to be embarrassed and agreed with Noah.
There is no way to know whether the reasons I said today are true or lies.
If I vaguely explain it to everyone and give it a plausible reason, that will become the real reason.
“Really? Then there’s one more thing I was curious about, that…”
Noah tried to ask me something again, but couldn’t continue the question.
“Jinuni, I’m back~.”
“Jinuni~~!”
While Noah was talking, Renia and Yuria, who had gone outside, opened the door, came in, and ran towards me.
It feels like watching my daughters come back from outside.
Ellie and Lien also walked slowly and entered the room.
Behind the two people, Cherry’s head was also seen sticking out.
Yuria jumped towards me and jumped into my arms, and from the shock, I had no choice but to fall backwards and lie down on the bed.
“Really, Yuria. If you hug Jinu like that, we can’t be next to you.”
Renia looked at Yuria running towards me and spoke in a slightly dissatisfied voice.
“Aha, sorry, sister. Then… You can just sit here!”
Yuria, who heard Lenia’s words, got out of my arms and sat opposite Noah, then pointed between my legs and spoke.
“If it’s there… Ugh, that’s the only place.”
After Renia let out a small coughing sound, she naturally came into the space between my legs and sat down.
I thought Leniana Yuria was so cute, so I raised her body and stroked her head.
“Did you find something when you went out? I heard from Noah that you went out together.”
“I briefly borrowed Jinu’s compass to check where the closest equipment was around here.”
Ellie calmly answered my questions.
“Really? Is that the equipment Void used to summon demons? It’s so inconvenient to have to check it one by one.”
“As Jinu said, we could only tell if it existed or not, so we couldn’t confirm it without getting close. It’s not far from here.”
I can’t believe I couldn’t confirm it.
“Where were you so you couldn’t even check?”
“It was right there in the ground. Deep in the ground. People here say it was a dungeon.”
It’s a dungeon.
I think I heard that the dungeon is a place teeming with various monsters that exist in this world.
Why is there equipment there again?
“Cherry, who took us out with us, said that it was the largest dungeon around here. So we tried to turn over the entire ground and search for equipment with our own strength, but Cherry said that this dungeon is divided into many floors underground, so the equipment we are looking for is in the lowest floor. “I stopped for a moment because I thought it might be more difficult to find if I searched while shaking the ground. I happened to hear Jinunim’s whispers, so I came to report.”
“That’s right! They say no one has been to the lowest floor yet. The adventurers who have gone down the most say it is the 55th floor underground… The adventurer party at that time said that it was a place where no end was in sight no matter how far you went down. That means you are strong. “You know, it’s really dangerous out there!”
Cherry’s concern for us was cute and we appreciated it, but it seems like she doesn’t really know our power yet.
I’m in a dungeon…
“Then, shall we go look for that equipment today? Let’s get to the lowest floor in one day.”
“Yes, Jinu!”
Everyone answered positively to what I said, and only Cherry looked surprised.
“Did you hear me? It’s dangerous out there?”
“The hardships you saw in front of the nobles yesterday were only a small part of it. Instead of worrying about us being attacked by monsters, can you help us pack our bags? I won’t be able to take care of everything by myself.”
Cherry listened to me and hesitated and couldn’t say the right thing, but eventually she started packing our luggage.
Now that the number of people has increased a lot, I can’t carry everyone’s luggage in the bag I’m carrying, so I need someone like Cherry to act as a porter.
Why is it that the inventory system cannot store all the items in this case?
It was a shame that only game-related equipment went into the inventory.
While I was getting ready to go out, I looked at Noah and said,
“Noah, weren’t you trying to ask me something else earlier? I think you were cut off when everyone came back.”
“Ah, don’t worry about it. It’s not a big question. You can ask me again later.”
What were you trying to ask?
Noah passed me by with a light smile as if it was no big deal, and I didn’t pay any attention and went next to Noah who was packing his luggage and helped him along.
Not long after, we put on all our gear and carried our bags and headed out of the hotel.
“Then I think I’ve roughly prepared everything. Shall we leave? How far is that dungeon from here?”
“It’s about a 30-minute ride on the Minercia. We were thinking of going all the way in, but after hearing about Cherry, we came back to Jinnu.”
According to Cherry, it’s at least the 55th floor underground and you’ll have to go much further down, so it would be right for you to come talk to me first.
Because I don’t know how long it will take.
Me and everyone went out of the city and took Minercia to go to a place called a dungeon.
As Ellie said, after traveling for about 30 minutes, a large cave came into view.
There were people bustling around there besides us.
Minercia flapped her wings and came down to the ground, emitting a large gust of wind.
“OMG!”
“What the hell is this!”
Thanks to this, he brought a wind of dust to the people around him.
We landed on Minercia’s back and landed on the floor, and Minercia became smaller again and flew down to sit on Yuria’s shoulder.
I can feel that many people’s eyes are focused on us who came aboard Minercia.
“Ugh… I really can’t get used to it yet… Why is it flying so fast…”
Cherry sat down on the floor behind me, muttering.
It looks like they aren’t used to traveling on Minercia yet.
“Are you okay, Cherry?”
“Yes, it’s because my legs are loose… I don’t know how you guys got used to it.”
If you ride a lot, you get used to it, Cherry.
I held back the words that were about to come out of her mouth and held out her hand to Cherry, who took my hand and stood up.
“Hey, you guys!”
I was thinking about going into the dungeon, but I heard a loud old man’s voice next to me.
When I turned my head, I saw four men behind me, along with a man wearing heavy armor.
“Who are you?”
“I saw you come and go here earlier. Are you planning to enter this dungeon? If so, how about going in with us? The path inside the dungeon is complicated like a maze, so if you don’t memorize the way like us, you could wander forever and die inside the dungeon?”
After hearing what the man said, I naturally turned my head towards Cherry, and upon hearing that, Cherry nodded and gave me a positive sign.
“I see. But there’s no need for that. Please go back. We can go in by ourselves.”
“What? You brat. What did you hear us say? At first glance, you guys look like rookie adventurers, but if you go into the dungeon in your current state, you’re likely to get killed? All you have to do is listen to what senior adventurers who are as high in the sky say you will understand.”
What is this old man saying?
Since I didn’t have time to deal with these scum, I tried to take everyone into the dungeon.
“Do you think you’re some kind of high-ranking nobleman who carries around a lot of women? Well, he’s definitely pretty, except for the kid carrying the luggage. Hey, why don’t you guys leave that brat behind and come with us? We can treat you much better, right?”
“Yeah, yeah, it would be much more helpful in life if you ditch that guy who actually has a lot of money and come with us, haha!”
Why do scumbags do not know their own level and like to criticize others and laugh among themselves?
It’s a psychology you will never understand.
Isn’t it his specialty to sexually harass women, especially at lower levels?
In the past, if it were me, I might have just ignored it and asked to go.
Because I didn’t have the strength back then.
But not now.
I took out “Gram” From my inventory, put it on my hand, and walked in front of the trash.
“Hmm? When did you pick up the sword again? So, are you going to fight us? Haha!”
“Don’t act strong in front of women? Puhahahaha!”
Seeing them laughing at me among themselves, I sighed lightly and walked towards the trash.
“Time stop”
The moment I spoke, all movement around me stopped.
To be precise, the correct expression is that it has slowed down to the point where it appears to have stopped.
It was too much to use this ability against these scum, but I also didn’t want to see them screaming and running away, so I used the skill.
I thought that maybe the skill cooldown would come back if I went around the dungeon.
I lightly swung the “Gram” I was holding at the trash.
“Gram” Cut off the heads of the trash as if he was cutting tofu with a knife, and I cut off all of their heads in an instant.
This was my first battle using this skill, and it was definitely a morale skill.
I can use all my attacks while everyone else is slowed down except me.
If I just grow up to be similar to everyone else, this will become a ridiculous skill.
After taking care of them, I turned around and went back to everyone.
And time moves again.
Time that had slowed down due to my skill returned to its original state.
“Puhahahaha, hmm? When will that kid go over there…”
The trash talk did not continue after that.
He would probably collapse, bleeding from his neck.
In some cases, the neck and head may have separated and fallen off.
“Thank you for your hard work, my lord. I thought we would take care of it, but you did it yourself.”
“It was also an opponent that I didn’t need to get my hands dirty with. I also wanted to test whether it was possible to attack while using a skill.”
Among us who are naturally conversing, Cherry is the only one who is so shocked that she cannot keep her mouth shut.
“Uh… Huh? What on earth happened?”
It was as if I was watching a person being filmed alone.
Without paying attention to those cherries, we moved to enter the dungeon.
