Chapter 80 – Remumuni
“There is no coincidence like this. At times like this, it seems like there really is a connection.”
“I agree.”
If Leonard hadn’t had Firmus (the unbreakable sword), if Jaune hadn’t chosen it as one of the prices of his devotion, if Firbjorn hadn’t taken an interest in Jaune and wanted to meet him, if Firbjorn hadn’t seen Firmus like he does now. The probability of this happening would have been tiny.
As expected, Firmus was a weapon that could almost definitely be upgraded to a ‘Noble Phantasm (a weapon with its own core, such as a holy sword or a magic sword).
It is a weapon that everyone hopes to obtain, and if they do, they will keep it hidden so as not to have it taken away by someone else.
How many people would reveal that a dwarven craftsman would like to see such a weapon?
I can guarantee that there will not be a single one.
‘Huh? Then what about Junie? Junie went beyond just showing it to that guy and actually lent it to him.’
‘Who would have imagined that I, who hadn’t even entered the labyrinth yet, would have such a weapon? And you don’t have to worry about Firbjörn running away with my sword. Just in case, I wrote the highest grade sacred contract.’
Originally, he had tried to gently coax him into signing the sacred contract (luckily Carol had it with him), but when he saw Firmus, Pirbjorn, who was half out of his mind, signed the sacred contract without any effort.
Thanks to this, when Jun was not exploring the labyrinth, he was able to make Pirbjorn, the highest level blacksmith in the industry, his exclusive blacksmith instead of lending Firmus to Pirbjorn.
For reference, the exclusive blacksmith had to keep quiet about the weapons the contractor had, sold the weapons at cost when the contractor purchased them, and had to give priority to the contractor’s orders.
‘Did you? ‘I didn’t know about Port.’
‘I guess you didn’t read the contract properly just because you’re eating candy. You can’t do that, Por. ‘Contracts must be carefully reviewed anytime and anywhere.’
‘Uhm. Por just wants to leave all that to Junie. Por and Junie are a united couple, so it’s okay, right?’
‘Ugh~. ‘Por do whatever you want.’
‘Ehehe. ‘Por really likes Junie.’
‘Ugh. It’s sticky. I told you to be careful not to get it on your face and hands when eating!’
Jun sighed once more and took out a wet towel from subspace and wiped Fortuna’s face and hands.
She made a nasal noise of disapproval like a child, but quietly left her face and hands to Jun.
“Hehe. You guys get along really well.”
“Hi-Hi. Of course! Junie and I are inseparable!”
“IM jealous. It would be really helpful if I had a relationship like that.”
Carol said that and looked at Jun secretly.
Jun sensed the intense desire hidden in her kind eyes and her body trembled without realizing it.
“Under. Haha. Anyway, where are we going now? It’s time to create a bankbook and card. Should we go to the bank? “Is there a bank within the guild?”
“Hmm~.”
“Hey, Carol?”
When June tried to change the subject, she made a nasal noise as Carol squinted her eyes like a predator stalking her prey.
When Jun looked at her in surprise, she smiled sweetly as if she had never done that before.
June became a little, a little more scared of Carol.
“Yes, there is a bank within the guild that is dedicated to money-related matters. But we’re not going to the bank, we’re going to the reception desk in the central square. There are a lot of people at the bank at this time, and you can simply create a card and bankbook at the reception desk.”
“The central plaza is where the stage and restaurant are, right? Is it okay if I go already? “Zombies, no, I think there are still a lot of people who haven’t come to their senses yet.”
“Do not worry. Most people would have come to their senses by now. Due to the nature of the Demon Castle (the name of Lemumuni’s Labyrinth), both the adventurers who explore it and the staff who manage it have excellent mental abilities.”
“That would be the case with Carol. Then let’s go.”
Hehe. Thank you for trusting us. Oh, that doesn’t mean you can take off that mask. Did you know?”
Jun nodded his understanding and smoothed the white mask covering his face.
Then Carol carefully opened her mouth.
“But are you really okay with that? “Why not change it to something else now?”
“No. I like this.”
After the contract with Pirbjorn ended, Jun stopped by the item warehouse near the slaughterhouse at Carol’s suggestion.
The item warehouse is a place where items deemed useful by the guild are collected. You can rent or buy those items with points earned by solving guild requests, and if you request special protection like Jun, you can rent just one item for free as a privilege. I could do it.
The item obtained with that privilege was the white mask that Jun is currently wearing.
[Premium Magic Mask]
[Grade: Gold]
[Category: Face decoration]
[Defense: High]
[Magic Amplification: High]
[Mask of the Premium Tower that existed during the ancient empire. As the mask of the Magic Tower, which pursued the convenience and practicality of magic more than any other Magic Tower, it not only has an outstanding original function, but also has excellent defense and various useful functions.]
[Additional functions: adsorption, ventilation, gas prevention, constant cleaning, durability restoration, temperature control, design change, perspective, automatic attachment and detachment, automatic recovery, floating, presence reduction, facial recognition inhibition]
This mask, which has a black pattern on a pure white background and a small red magic stone in the center, looks like something a blue slime would wear in a story, and is a gold-grade item.
It has correspondingly high defense power, magic amplification, and various additional features, but as Carol showed, people treated it like a trash item, and it was just collecting dust in the item warehouse.
‘It’s worth it.’
As the mask was of gold level, you needed enough points to make it sound ridiculous even if you just rented it.
However, there were very few functions needed for combat.
I don’t think so? Looks very useful in battle?
It may certainly be useful for warriors and knights on the battlefield. However, the mask was a wizard’s item, not a warrior’s item.
This is because it has a magic amplification function instead of aura amplification.
In any case, for wizards in the back row, defensive functions that would protect their lives or offensive functions that could turn the situation around in one shot were much preferred over various convenient functions.
Naturally, masks without such functions had no choice but to be excluded.
‘But not to me.’
The functions of this magic mask were very useful to Jun.
Although it is not of great help in battle, it is the best at covering the face.
Even though he expected to get into trouble because of his face, he did not wear a mask and only covered his face with the hood of his robe because the mask was so uncomfortable.
However, even though I wore this mask, it didn’t feel like I was wearing anything at all, and I felt comfortable.
Thanks to this, he was able to wear the mask with peace of mind without feeling stressed.
Above all, as can be inferred from the name and description of the mask, this magic mask was a set item with the robe that Jun is currently wearing, the Premium Magic Robe.
‘I can’t stand matching sets.’
There are set effects and the fun of collecting sets, so how could you not choose it?
“Since you are so sure, I will not recommend it any further. “Aren’t you offended by me being so nosy?”
“Why are you so upset over something like this? Next time, if you have any good opinions, please don’t hesitate to tell me.”
When she shook her head and said that, Carol’s cautious expression relaxed.
Is it simply my mood that makes my face look red at first glance?
‘Jun, I told you not to flirt with anyone!’
‘What did I do? The face was also clearly covered.’
‘The voice and body still remain.’
‘… What should I do with that? Who is this all because of in the first place?’
Keep going!
‘Hmm~.’
I got grumpy for no reason and punished the grumbling angel.
Meanwhile, we arrived at the central square again.
Slam!
Boom, boom, boom!
As soon as Carol opened the hallway door, the faint sounds of people talking suddenly stopped.
Afterward, I felt the eyes of many people. For some reason, it seems like there are a lot more people than before, right?
Jun put on the hood of the robe he had been taking off for no reason and asked Carol.
“It’s perfect, right?”
“Yes? Yes, of course. Just trust me. If anyone runs into me, I will protect Jun, even if it means sacrificing my body.”
“No, don’t do that. “My specialty is escape.”
“Hehe. “Jun is perfect at telling jokes.”
‘It’s true.’
No joke, Jun had been seriously measuring his escape angle ever since he entered the central square. It’s like an old habit.
‘Isn’t it really a calling?’
‘It’s not a good job, so why are you so proud? Evie B! Our good Junie can’t think like that!’
‘Neng.’
Listening to Fortuna’s worried nagging, Jun followed Carol toward the reception desk.
Meanwhile,
Growling~
The belly clock rang loudly on the ship.
The smell of delicious food permeating the square stimulated Jun’s stomach, which had forgotten his hunger due to his nervousness as he wandered around a new place.
“Haha! “I thought it wasn’t human, but seeing that it has a belly button tells me it’s human!”
“Carol! No matter how much you like that kid, just feed him and take him with you!”
“Prince! Come this way! “My sister will buy me lots of delicious food!”
“Prince, is that right? “Princess, isn’t it?”
“Whatever! All you have to do is be strong and pretty!”
The quiet central square suddenly became noisy.
Thanks to this, Jun was able to not feel ashamed of giving everyone his belly button watch.
Carol, who had put off the adventurers’ practical jokes with a threat, turned to Jun and asked.
“Jun, while we eat, shall we have you fill out the documents necessary to create a bankbook and card?”
“Is that okay?”
“Hehe. It’s something that shouldn’t be done in the first place, but you have that level of authority. Now, let’s go to the table.”
Carol took the lead with great momentum, but she had no choice but to stop shortly.
This is because the many, many tables in the central plaza were full for some reason.
It seemed like the adventurers who saw Jun’s face and skills made a fuss and gathered the adventurers nearby.
‘I can’t do it.’
“Jun, I think we should sit together. Is there a table you like?”
Carol asked, abandoning the idea of having a private meal with June.
Jun looked around for a moment at the question and then pointed to a certain place.
There,
“Here you go! Here! Successor! Come here!”
A sturdy man with black hair and black eyes like Jun was waving the stigmata on the back of her left hand and shouting loudly for her to leave.
