Chapter 19 (1/2)

“We did it~! We did it~! We did it~!”

Milly jumped onto me, bouncing up and down.

I could see both nervousness and joy inside her eyes.

Well I’ll just pat her head for now, and as I did so the light in her eyes seemed to settle down a little.

I remember when I first defeated a boss as part of an expedition group, we drank the night away to celebrate.

How Milly feels right now is understandable.

“Well then…”

I escaped from Milly’s embrace and walked over the place where the King of Death just disappeared, an object was gleaming in its remains.

It was a ring.

“A snake bone ring, huh?”

A boss has a decent drop rate for rare items, the effect for those items can’t be compared to a normal monster’s drops.

The price of those items too.

The snake bone ring has nearly twice the value of the ring I got from Lydia.

Lucky me.

“Woah! A snake bone ring!”

Looking at the snake bone ring I picked up, Milly let out a happy voice.

“What’re you going to do with it?”

“I’ll sell it. I don’t need two of the same thing.”

I took out my magic bag and as I was about to put the ring inside, Milly grasped my hand with both of hers.

“I-I want it!”

I thought she’d say that.

She’s been looking at it with sparkling eyes since a little while ago.

“Okay, but this thing could get us a lot of money you know?”

“Then, I’ll give you this in exchange~!”

Milly held out a short cane topped with a blue crystal.

– It’s a quartz rod.

A cane that can amplify the effect of the Blue system magic is bound to have a high price.

Most likely three times the price of the snake bone ring.

“Milly, do you know how much this is worth?”

“O-Of course I do!”

Milly said so with a red face, and pushed the crystal rod into my chest.

Whatever, do what you want.

Oh what a cute brat you are.

Maybe she was a little scared or something, but her eyes were a little wet.

Letting out a sigh, I reached out and grabbed her hand.

She put on a puzzled face, then her eyes opened wide and her mouth went *Pa~a~tsu*.

I placed the snake bone ring on her finger, and her expression turned joyful all of a sudden. She started staring at me from a whole bunch of different angles.

I wonder why she’s so happy.

“I guess putting on matching equipment does feel nice, though its performance is somewhat basic.”

“~ ♪”

She’s not listening…

Meh, whatever.

I feel like an old man giving a new toy to his grandchild.

I never had children let alone grandchildren, but this doesn’t feel so bad.

I went ahead and patted her head, while laughing with a scruffy face. *Ehehe*

—-Now lets see our profit for the day.

We used nine magic recovery potions(large). Each one created by using five magic recovery potions, each worth 1000 rupees, for a total of 45000 rupees…

There’s only one left now… well I guess I did well for fighting something like that at this level.

Using this would’ve meant we’d be out of options.

While the snake bone ring was given to Milly, so our income is 0 rupees…

For a total of -45000 rupees.

The King of Death was a monster that showed up in the lower floors of a dungeon that I captured a long time ago.

We could’ve beaten him easily if we had a third person.

Without the pressure of having to escape all the time, beating the boss wouldn’t have even broken a sweat.

(TN: Help…

Time Square seems to have more applications than I thought it would.

The strength of Red Zero^4 is dangerous.
