Chapter 118 – Underground Battle (1)
“Now, wait a minute!”
Just before the entrance door was about to close, Arin handed something of hers to Yuna.
“Here, you should take your smartphone.”
“Um… Really?”
A smartphone in a dungeon? I heard that it was a combination that didn’t quite fit.
Yuna asked again out of curiosity, but Arin’s answer did not change.
“If something goes wrong, we might have to send a rescue signal or something.
So it would be a good idea to take it with you. Maybe there will be radio waves inside?”
“Uhm. I understand.”
Yuna thought that Arin seemed very worried, even though she said the dungeon wasn’t very dangerous.
‘Is this a more dangerous place than I thought.?’
“Well then, welcome back!”
Arin smiled awkwardly and let Yuna go.
“Huh. Then let’s move forward.”
As soon as Yuna opened the door and entered, what she saw was the entrance to the dungeon and a warehouse next to it with various equipment.
“I knew to some extent that this was a game, but…
“Seeing equipment that seems like something out of fantasy like this definitely feels real.”
As Yuna looked at the equipment hanging on the wall, she began to worry about which one to take.
“I guess there is no armor.?”
Yuna continued to check the inside of the warehouse.
“Oh, there it is.”
What Yuna discovered was plate armor called full plate armor.
When you think of medieval knight armor, the first thing that comes to mind is armor.
When Yuna saw the armor, she felt a little excited as if she had become a character from a medieval movie.
“That’s right! I wanted armor like this.”
First, Yuna took off the clothes she was currently wearing to put on her armor.
Yuna, who had revealed herself when she was born, without any clothes on, slowly raised her hands to put on her armor.
“Ugh… The armor is a lot heavier than I thought.?”
Of course, the plate armor used in the Middle Ages weighed nearly 20-30 kg.
For Yuna, who had the average strength of a woman in her 20s, moving while wearing this armor was almost impossible.
“Ah, you’re here!”
While Yuna was trying hard to move around in her armor, a woman’s voice suddenly came from behind her.
“Who are you?”
Since Yuna had thought that she would be the only one inside this warehouse, Yuna felt a little frightened by her sudden voice.
The identity of the voice behind her was that of a woman wearing clothes that looked like something out of a fantasy world.
“Ah, I am the owner of this warehouse.
Um… According to the setting, I am in charge of the role of a receptionist for an adventurer’s guild. Are you Miss Uyu?”
“Yes. I’m an exception. By any chance. I guess what I did wasn’t theft or anything like that.?”
Yuna seemed a little scared when she heard that she was the owner of the warehouse.
In order to try on her armor, she had also taken off her clothes, so Yuna was trying to cover up her clothes with heavy plate armor.
“Oh, it’s okay!! You don’t have to worry.
I am the guide to this dungeon. You can think of it as an NPC that provides guidance at the entrance.”
Dungeon guide? It was my first time hearing this story.
“Um… I remember Arin saying that I was the first person to enter this dungeon.”
Still covering her naked body with heavy armor, Yuna appeared wary of the woman.
“Probably because I have never directly entered the dungeon.
Since Arin first created the dungeon, I have been living here in the warehouse.
It’s a pretty good place.”
“Hmm… I see.”
There were some suspicious points, but it wasn’t an important issue to Yuna in her naked body.
“It must be heavy, so how about putting your armor on the floor?
It’s not like there’s a man anywhere.”
“Hmm. But I’m not even wearing underwear.”
“Anyway, there are two women.
You don’t have to be so embarrassed.”
Although Yuna hated to admit it, she realized that the woman was right.
There was no one other than the surrounding receptionist, and because her armor was quite heavy, Yuna’s arms that were holding her armor were slowly reaching their limit.
Yuna took down her armor and picked up her clothes that she had taken off.
“Oh.”
The receptionist, seeing Yuna like that, looked at her with an uncomfortable look on her face as she picked up her clothes.
“You don’t need to wear her clothes again, do you?”
“Yes?”
“Wouldn’t you like to change into your armor before entering the dungeon?
Then she won’t have to wear her clothes again.
Even if you put it on, you have to take it off again.”
“Um… But…
Is there a place like a locker room?
I’m a bit embarrassed to keep standing naked…”
“Well… I didn’t make anything like that in order to vividly reproduce the RPG feel.
Please understand a little.”
‘What does the dressing room have to do with the RPG feel.?’
I didn’t understand, but Yuna thought there was nothing she could do because she wasn’t there.
“What good could it be? Plate armor is too heavy.”
“If plate armor is heavy, how about this armor?”
The receptionist who was listening to Yuna came out holding some armor from inside her.
“This is cloth armor.”
“Cloth?”
With the image of cloth that Yuna had in her head, it seemed like she would never be able to defend herself with cloth.
“Yes, fabric. Surprisingly, fabric is very strong when multiple layers are overlapped, right?”
“Hmm… I don’t believe it. Although the cloth armor certainly looks lighter than the plate armor, it doesn’t look as strong…
Isn’t there any armor that is strong and light?”
“Hmm… It’s lighter than plate armor, and although it’s not as strong as plate armor, there are other armors that are stronger.”
The receptionist who said that brought out another piece of armor from inside.
“This armor is called chain mail.
Would you like to try it on?”
Yuna took her armor in her hand and slowly began to try it on.
“Hmm… It’s definitely lighter than plate armor…
Still, I think it’s a bit heavy.
I’m sorry, but… Is there any other armor?”
“Hmm…”
The receptionist who heard Yuna’s words seemed to be worried about something.
“Ah! There’s an armor that just came to mind. Could you wait a moment?”
The receptionist quickly ran away and returned with another suit of armor.
“How about this?”
Armor given by the receptionist. The armor had a shape similar to the bikini women wear when swimming.
“What is this?
This is my first time seeing armor. Can such an outfit be called armor in the first place.?”
It was just as Yuna said.
The outfit, like a bikini, did not cover any areas other than the chest and crotch,
No matter how she looked, it seemed like she wouldn’t be able to use the armor properly.
“Even though it looks weak, it may be stronger than plate armor due to the protection magic I placed on it myself.
Since it’s a dungeon, of course you can use magic, right?”
“Ah.”
Yuna was reminded again that she was in a game.
“Wow, I didn’t know it could do something like magic.
Well, then, instead of this outfit, could you please cast a spell on the outfit I was originally wearing?”
“Well, I guess I can do it.”
“Really?!”
Yuna was floating around without noticing that the receptionist trailed off her words.
“But, I’m going into a dungeon.
Isn’t it a bit wrong to wear your everyday clothes?
I think so…”
“Hmm.”
Yuna certainly thought that there was some truth to that, and nodded her head.
“Then, how about taking a look at my everyday clothes and evaluating them?
Even in games, there is something like an avatar function.
“If you think about those outfits, I think you can wear them.”
“There is some basis to that statement.
In the case of fantasy games, there are many people wearing avatars, so the clothing does not necessarily have to be armor.”
“Hehe. Thank you!”
Yuna dressed up again in the outfit she had worn to her mansion and stood in front of the receptionist.
“Um… Did you really come wearing this outfit?”
“Yes?”
“Oh, that’s what it was. I’m sorry. I was a no-nonsense meddler.”
‘What is it.?’
She asks questions on her own and answers on her own.
Yuna, who did not understand this situation, tilted her head.
“Ah, anyway, I’ll cast a spell from now on!
Please wait a moment!”
After saying that, the receptionist came from somewhere with her wand and started chanting an unknown spell.
“Oh.”
Something shining covered Yuna’s clothes and disappeared.
“First, I cast a spell related to defense.
It looks like this is enough for the armor, what would you like for the weapon?”
“Hmm… I think the weapon would be a sword.
In fantasy, swords are usually the basic weapon, right?”
“I understand.”
The receptionist brought Yuna a long wooden cane.
“When I saw you lifting the armor earlier, it looked like you had trouble holding a proper sword.
I think this staff will be fine.
There is magic on this staff as well, so I don’t think you need to worry too much.”
“Uh… I’ve never used magic before…”
“You don’t have to worry! It’s been processed so that even beginners can use it.
Just shout ‘fire’ once.”
“Um. Fire!”
When Yuna shouts a spell at the wall,
A flame appeared with a sparkling flash and hit the wall.
