“Hoo hoo, these are all terrifying equipment and items!”
Having managed to calm my mind, I brought everyone to the Blacksmith in Lizard Village to show Ruzoi the items I obtained, as promised. Anju isn’t here yet though.
“Ruzoi-dono, will this be of any help?”
“I would never break them, so please let me borrow them for about two hours.”
“Understood, I trust you.”
If he broke them, I’d probably end up half-destroying this place with the Berserk Sword.
“Ah, Aggie-san!”
“Thank you, I’ve decided to stay here.”
“That’s great, but you can always use Clarice Castle too.”
Once I can produce some decent results, I’ll have to release the slaves too.
“Hmm, two hours, what should I do?”
“Oh, if you’re free, could you go fetch some items?”
“From where?”
“The Item Dungeon!”
Ah, it’s one I haven’t cleared yet.
“Are there any good items?”
“There are all sorts down below. I’ll process them here and make them into something good for you.”
Right, Ruzoi wants to craft equipment and items to rival the Dwarves, but he needs raw materials to start. I’ve sent a lot to Mariu, after all.
“Understood, I’ll dive in until lunchtime then.”
“I’m counting on you!”
Since Anju isn’t here, I used a Teleport Scroll to get to the dungeon entrance.
“Deles, do you remember? The entrance to the fifth floor was blocked last time.”
“Yes, only Imperial citizens are allowed in. If you break it, there’s a story about the Twelve Heroes…”
One of them is actually here as a slave right now!
“At the Adventurer Guild, I asked Raitani, and he said that to make money, you should go down to the eighth floor. The floors beyond the ninth have very inconsistent items, and even Imperial citizens don’t prefer them.”
“What kind of items are those?”
“I don’t know, truly unpredictable.”
With no time to spare, we descended quickly. The stairs to the fifth floor no longer had guards or sentries. Instead, there were many ordinary adventurers. Perhaps they were all after magic stones or the money from selling them.
(The deeper parts seem to have reasonably good EXP too.)
Of course, if Nastasia, with her incredible speed, were to attack, we could outmaneuver other adventurers. But I didn’t want to get into trouble on such a shallow floor, so we continued descending. We stopped in a広場 in front of the stairs leading to the ninth floor.
“Alright, Helen, that should be enough.”
“Yes, then I shall commence.”
Figuring we wouldn’t bother other adventurers anymore, I summoned eight Succubi. Oh, Silver Succubus is still my Older Sister!
“Sil-Sister~~!”
“Oh my, oh my.”
“Deles! Hmm, tonight’s punishment is the ‘The enemy’s female commander was my actual older sister’ roleplay, isn’t it?”
“Ehh…”
Putting that conversation aside, when we moved to the ninth underground floor, unlike the Diamond Golems and Crystal Golems on the eighth floor, a strange, brightly colored Golem appeared. Uh, is this a jack-in-the-box?!
“What is this Pandora Golem?”
“Hmm, let’s try defeating it first.”
Nina struck it with the Berserk Sword, but it didn’t budge.
“Um, right, you stab it here.”
Nastasia stabbed the enemy’s horn, or shoulder, or wherever the box seams were, with the Princess Sword, and it seemed to work as it stumbled backward.
“I see, I’ve got the knack.”
Nina, having learned from a single attack, cleverly shaved off the protruding parts of the Pandora Golem with the blade of the Berserk Sword. After about five or six strikes, the box collapsed, falling apart. Inside, there was only a Soil Magic Stone.
“Well, that was a dud.”
“Clarice, please try testing your magic. How about you, Helen?”
“As expected, with an Eldorado Succubus, it’s easy to pierce its arm.”
Amazing. She grabbed the Soil Magic Stone and pulled it out, as if ripping out a heart.
“Alright, let me know if you get any items other than magic stones.”
“Ah, Nina-san, it says ‘Luxury Golem’!”
And so, as we continued hunting together, the items other than magic stones that came out, including from treasure chests, were…
* Hyottoko mask
* Genghis Khan hot pot
* Body plate with “Salt” written on it in large letters
* Obscene-moving stick
* Pop-up book
* Limited-time Stamina drink
* *Aroma water* (with strap)
* Small tranquilizer gun that shoots needles into the nape of the neck
* Two-person kickboard
* 9-year-old’s white bikini
* Father’s loincloth
* List of prime numbers
* Magical girl’s staff
* Shark costume
* Bento box with a throat lozenge in the center (self-proclaimed character bento)
* Umbrella that’s embarrassing to open
* *Book of erotic photos*
* *Sexy photo book of Takashi Chiharu*
Many of the item names are confusing even if I recognize them. Hyottoko, Genghis Khan… Iwamoto might know about those. Also, the last two books were immediately confiscated by Nina. What were they?
“Time’s up.”
“Eh? But what about the boss?”
“This is a treasure trove of items. There’s no need to force ourselves to defeat it.”
To return to the surface, it was troublesome, so we used a Teleport Scroll. We have 100,000 of them, so we don’t really need to worry, but I feel a little hesitant about casually consuming even one, considering how precious some items are.
“Ah, can I try out the ‘umbrella that’s embarrassing to open’?”
“Ah, this one.”
When I opened it…!!
“It’s that super tacky Bear design againーー!!”
I quickly closed it.
(Now then, I’ve secured plenty of items. I should give Ruzoi the usable ones.)
