Chapter 015: The wrongly pressed button and the rumoured urban legend
Translator: Tseirp
Upon walking out the exit of the labyrinth, purification magic 「Purification」 was suddenly casted on me.
“What are you doing? Is this a prank?”
I was slightly irritated.
“Oh, you are alive. You did not come back even after half a day had passed since you dived into the labyrinth on your first day so I thought that you had became a zombie.”
Was this person putting up an act just in case I am a person who hates people who try to deceive me?
I gently tapped Jordo-san’s shoulder.
“What’s with that expression!? I get it. Don’t look at me with that face!”
“Oh no. Is Jordo-san an esper?”
“Erm, what’s an esper?”
He couldn’t understand me because I used a term from a different world.
『Kohon/Cough』 Even though I look like this, I honed my martial arts skills in the Adventurer’s Guild so I know how dangerous (real) monsters are.” (TL: The () indicates what the speaker meant in his mind. Read without the () to understand what the listener heard. Hahaha misunderstandings galore)
“Oh~ Now that you mention it I have heard of such reports.”
“I have also understood that if I’m complacent no matter how many lives I have it would not be enough.”
“Even so that was your first actual combat right? No matter what zombies (real) are pretty troublesome right?”
“If it’s only to that extent I won’t be delayed at all. The labyrinth was bright as well.”
“Heh~ Luciel-kun is pretty strong. I didn’t advance (to the second floor) at all in the first three months.”
“Well, I intend to fight reasonable so it’s fine. From tomorrow onwards I’ll advance (further down below the third floor) little by little.”
“Ooh. So promising.”
“Oh yeah. Where should I bring this magic stone (illusionary stone) to? To the Adventurer’s Guild?”
“No, please get the store there to buy them from you.”
“Ah as expected. I knew it had to be so. It would be bad if the Adventurer’s Guild know (The Adventurer’s Guild would not buy the stones and we don’t want them to know that there is such a training ground).” I looked towards the shop counter.
“That’s right. (It would be a huge problem if it was known that there is a labyrinth in the Healer’s Guild headquarters.) Wah~ It’s a great help that Luciel-kun can quickly grasp the situation.”
“No no. Is it fine if I exchange the magic stones for points here.”
“Oh Jordo-san. So the newbie is safe.”
A young lady who was not here in the morning was at the counter.
“He’s fine.”
“Thank you for your concern. I am okay because I have slight resistance to such things (horror movies and games).”
“That is amazing”
She praised me while smiling radiantly. I wonder why I felt slightly happy.
“Please pass me the magic stones you’ve collected today.”
She was amiable because of her job.
I knew it.
“Okay.”
『Don』Jordo-san and the lady stared with a (slightly?) surprised look at the sound of the rucksack I placed down.
“Then pardon me but please purchase these.”
“Amazing. There’s really a lot. It is not good to push yourself unreasonably. You only have one life.”
“That is right. I understand.”
“Well then please pass me your card.”
“Card? Do you mean my Healer’s Guild card?”
“Ha!? She’s referring to the card you received from Gran-sama today.”
Woah Jordo-san was revived. (TL: He was in a daze until now.)
“Ah I see.” I handed the card over.
“It will be 4,216P in total. This is an unusual achievement for the first day. It has been a considerably long time since I’ve seen such earnings. Well then, what would you like to buy?”
“I have no idea what’s sold here so I can’t say anything.”
“Oh I see. Everything here is up for sale. The most expensive is the finest-grade spell book at 1,000,000P. It is a first-class spell book currently at the top of all spell books.”
“Hahaha. It will be the distant future when I’ll be able to buy that.”
“Other than that there are potions as well as items to prevent abnormal status.”
“I see. Oh that’s right. What about those weapons over there?”
“Those are weapons tempered with silver or holy silver capable of damaging undead. They were all made by dwarves.”
“How much do they cost?”
“2,500P each.”
“Hah? Why are they so cheap?! That’s definitely below the original costs.”
“You can say that. Priest knights or paladins don’t come down here, whereas healers can’t handle such weapons, and even the church can’t sell them through contracts so there’s no need for them.”
” … Even so isn’t it still too cheap?”
“While using such weapons you can’t chant magic right? Moreover if you’re an amateur with weapons you would be surrounded and eaten by zombies.”
Eh? But I can chant? Huh? Didn’t Instructor Broad explicitly say that it’s normal to be able to do so?
