Naked Dungeon Life 309

Chapter 309 – Side Story Part 2. Naked Newbie Life (21)

“Good morning?”

Joan shamelessly greets us.

“Did you overhear the whole thing?”

“No? I just heard it. I have a good ear.”

“This is not an adventurer’s guild.”

“I know. This is a restaurant. Why? Am I not allowed to come to restaurants like this?”

No matter how you look at it, it seems like he overheard on purpose, but there’s nothing to do since there’s no evidence.

Moreover, since it is being said so openly and shamelessly, it would be difficult to refute it.

‘I haven’t even started the background investigation yet…’

I stared at Joan.

‘This was a mistake, woman.’

I don’t know what she’s planning, but this is clearly her mistake.

‘It looks like he wants to get involved with me somehow…’

There’s no evidence and I don’t know why, but I’m sure he wants to get involved with me.

But with her current actions, my inner self’s wariness has only risen to its limit, not to mention my evaluation of her.

So, if her plan was to join my party, it would be extremely foolish to act like this.

“Didn’t I tell you yesterday? The interview isn’t over yet, and I think they asked me to wait at least 5 days before they announce my acceptance.”

“Of course, I heard that. But apart from that, isn’t it okay to spend a day together? Adventurers don’t always go to dungeons as a fixed party. Sometimes, they go to the dungeon by looking for people when necessary. Actually, I have business to do as well. It’s in the ancient ruins of the Goblin Forest that we talked about earlier.”

According to Joan’s claim, the dungeon is where she can obtain the skill stone she wants.
Even if you want to buy it for money, there is no one selling it, and even if you want to hunt for it yourself, it is a dungeon that almost no one wants to go to, so from the moment I heard about it, I deliberately approached it.

It didn’t really seem like a lie, but what can I say?

Would you say it fits together too tightly?

By any chance, the skill stone of the wizard we first met yesterday comes from a dungeon we are debating whether to go to or not?

Even though shadow magic is unique and can only be obtained by going to the most difficult dungeons that people avoid, there are a couple of suspicious aspects.

“But what should we do about this? We have no intention of going to that dungeon… Because it seems too dangerous.”

“…”

Li Yan suddenly becomes sullen.

On the other hand, Joan was looking at me and smiling brightly.

“If you just give up the skill stones, I’ll give up all the loot that comes from them. Even like this?”

“No.”

Sorry, but that trick no longer works.

After trying to trick Dick, who had already made the same suggestion, I ended up in a dangerous tiger’s den.

“Coward.”

“Such provocations don’t work.”

“Tch. I wanted to show off my abilities and get some points… Well, okay then. Next time.”

Joan seemed to have no intention of persuading me and just turned around and walked out of the restaurant.

If it were in the past, I might have gone and caught it without knowing anything, but now that I have accumulated a lot of experience, I wasn’t shaken at all.

However, there was someone who ran away instead of me.

“Wait a minute! Can’t you come with me?”

Li Yan grabbed Joan and pleaded with her to take him with her.

As I watched, my eyebrows furrowed slightly.

“Are you planning on just leaving it like that?”

Dick, who was watching from the side, asks.

“Uh, you don’t listen even when I try to stop you. There’s no need for that.”

“Yes, yes.”

Dick is strangely embarrassed.

Zion and Rebecca also looked at me with mysterious expressions.

“Why?”

“No. That’s right. They just gave me skill stones, so I thought they had a close relationship. That’s why I left as soon as I entered the village yesterday.”

“We could have become closer. If you had followed my words carefully.”

I calmly stayed where I was.

I knew it myself.

At least until Dick pointed it out.

“But why are you dropping your legs like that?”

“Huh?”

I didn’t notice it at all.

I can’t believe my legs are shaking like this.

‘Ha…’

This is why I am afraid of sleeping.

I guess I was feeling agitated without even realizing it.

‘Even if I go when I go, I have to at least equip myself with better equipment and raise my level more than I do now…’

I eventually left the restaurant and stopped Li Yan, who was talking to Joan.

“Team leader…?”

“Liyan. Who gave you permission to act as you please?”

“But…”

“I’m going. I’m going to that dungeon. But not today.”

“Yes?”

“Even if we go, tomorrow… It’s too early, at least sand. Or let’s go the next day.”

“Really? Are you really going to come with me?”

“Uh, so don’t do anything foolish.”

“Yes! Hehe.”

He clung to my arm in a disgusting way and fawned over me.

Joan, who was watching with interest,

“Are you going to take me with you too? I don’t know, but I’m sure my abilities will come in handy.”

“Ha… Yes. Well… Do whatever you want.”

On this day, I hunted like crazy with Dick and his group.

Before going to that dungeon, to raise your level as much as possible.

‘If I only had one life, I would never have gone, but I still have one more life to spare.’

* * *

Three days passed in an instant.

Before I knew it, level had reached 25, and both Li Yan and I had reached grade A.

There are about 100 people in Grade A based on Ganarin Village.

And with the addition of about 100 people in the remaining two villages divided into the same district, there are only 200 people in the entire district.

The number is significantly lower than the 1,000 people up to grade B.

I said goodbye to Dick and his group for the last time yesterday.

They say they plan to get a party again and attack the tiger’s den.

There is still time until the monsters in that dungeon respawn, but they say they don’t want to go to the dungeon we’re headed to today no matter what conditions are attached.

They say they only have one life, and they don’t want to be killed or something.

Well, he seemed to have decided that he would almost certainly die if he went there.

“I guess you’re finally ready?”

“Yes, well…”

From the first word, the words are full of thorns.

Joan Crawford.

The shadow wizard appeared before us at the agreed upon time.

In addition to her, he leads two adventurers.

“I brought people who will come with me as you wish. They are both Grade A. Greetings. This is Jefferson, the tank. And this is Grol, the archer. Both of them have a skill.”

“Hehe. This is an honor. Even if it’s a temporary party, I can’t believe I can be with a stranger. My name is Jefferson.”

“Nice to meet you. I’m a hunter who has maintained A rank for two years. My name is Grol.”

While I was leveling up with Dick and his group, I gave a homework assignment to a woman named Joan.

If you want to go to the ancient ruins dungeon in the Goblin Forest together, fill the remaining two seats in your party with A-rank adventurers.

If a new interviewer appeared, I would have taken that person with me as a test, but unfortunately no one showed up, so from now on I have to work with the two people Joan brought.

The reason why I don’t like them this much is, of course, because they are both men.

‘Be patient, be patient… It’s just this one time…’

After exchanging pleasantries, we got a general idea of ​​each other’s abilities, and then left the village.

There was no reason to make it long because anyway, you have to make fine adjustments by moving your body and bumping into each other, rather than talking about the details.

However, there was one thing that was a little unusual.

“I’m sorry. My child walks a little slow.”

“…”

“So, it would be a disaster if you just look at the face. You should look at the body like I did. Isn’t that right, stranger?”

Jefferson and Grohl.

Both of them carry their own servants.

But, as the saying goes, just by looking at him, his appearance and body were outstanding, so he seemed close to being a servant.

I quietly approached Joan and asked without them hearing.

“It’s been a while since I came here. Is that normal here?”

“Yes. It’s convenient to have an attendant. They help you carry your luggage, and unnecessary friction between party members is reduced.”

“Friction?”

“No matter how much I entrusted my life to my colleague, I hate being forced to sleep with a man I don’t like.”

“Ah…”

Although I expected it, it is said that sexual assault incidents occur frequently within parties.

Of course, it’s not just women who suffer, but there are also cases where men suffer.

So, people are trying hard to get into the party of the opposite sex they like, although the abilities of the party members are also abilities.

“Isn’t that why you wrote that on the bulletin board too?”

“Well, that’s true.”

Then a thought occurred to me.

“But, that means you applied because you liked me rationally…”

“Isn’t that right? Of course, not only the appearance but also the name of a stranger had the greatest value.”

“Hmm…”

While we were talking, Jefferson lifted his slow-moving servant forward.
It didn’t look that difficult.

It’s a grade A tank anyway, so strength is a trade-off.

“It’s absurd. The owner treats his servant like a princess.”

“Just pretend you don’t know. I saved up for a month and only bought it the day before yesterday.”

I was feeling this again as I overheard the conversation between Jefferson and Grohl.

‘The world… Everyone’s life is the same.’

I’ll have to ask later.

What happened to end up in such a situation?

And where on earth can I buy something similar?

“It’s a forest now.”

We arrived after traveling for about an hour from the village.

At that time and place where my precious life was taken.

“I will take the lead from here on.”

Grol, the archer, stepped forward first, drawing his bow.
