V1C25 (1/2)

(025) Last night in Florence

Translator: Tseirp

The moment I woke up … I saw the statue of the Goddess Koshmar.

It was really faithfully reproduced.

“Master, congratulations.”

Haru bowed.

“Eh? What?”

“Since an item did not appear, it means that you acquired a skill?”

Oh, so that’s what she meant.

“For a period of time, 10 people obtained scourers in succession so I was worried.”

“Yes, I acquired a skill to grasp the common language used. I no longer need to have somebody write or read on my behalf so it’s convenient.”

“I see. My work has unfortunately decreased.”

Haru’s tail somehow looked a little disappointed. She must hate to feel that she has no use.

Lately, I’ve been looking at her tail instead of her face.

“No, as I have said, I’m a person from another world so I don’t know anything about this world at all. Although it also applies to combat strength, I have high expectations for Haru’s knowledge as well.”

“Yes, I will devote myself whole-heartedly to do my best.”

I’m confident that I used the correct words just now judging by her tail shaking energetically.

Then, after we exited the boss room, the door to the boss room closed.

“Well then, let’s go back … one or two monsters might appear on the way back anyway.”

I want to level up my Pugilist so I wish to defeat any enemies that I come across.

Before I forgot, I switched Hunter back into Swordsman and ascended the stairs.

It was already night by the time we exited the labyrinth. The gatekeeper was not the man yesterday nor Norn, but an uncle I’ve never seen before, so we merely passed by with a nod.

What we encountered within the labyrinth were 3 spiders about the size of a mouse, small spider, 1 red slime, 3 giant bats, and 2 goblins.

Haru defeated a giant bat and a small spider while I defeated the rest.

As a result, Pugilist rose to Lv5 and I acquired the 【Fist Attack] and 【Physical Attack Strengthening (minor)] skill.

Jobless only rose 1 level to Lv56, Apprentice Magician rose to Lv14 and Swordsman rose to Lv13 but there were no new skills learned.

Growth speed had clearly dropped. It might be because they are all higher jobs but even the Apprentice Magician job was hard to level up.

“It’s late. Shall we return to Margaret-san’s place?”

I wonder if there’s dinner. She did mention that she’ll put some aside so I wonder if it’s alright if we return without buying anything.

“It’s roughly about 7 in the night so the shops are just about to close.”

“You can tell the time?”

“I can tell using the position of the sun during the day and the position of the moon and stars during the night.”

“That’s amazing.”

I could only tell that it wasn’t late night yet as there were still people on the main street.

As we were walking toward the direction of Margaret-san’s shop, the shops were really starting to close.

“Margaret-san, we’re back.”

“Ara, Ichi-kun, Haru-chan … fufufu, looks like it went well judging by your looks.”

“Yes, we dived into the labyrinth slightly.”

“Eh … Did you go in that attire? Ichi-kun is fine but isn’t Haru-chan in everyday wear?”

Margaret-san said with a shock.

Hmm, should I buy armor? I’ve asked her but she told me that it looked like it would be difficult to move in so she felt that it would be better with what she had on.

“It’s easier to move with what I have now.”

“That won’t do, you’re a girl so you have to clearly differentiate between work clothes and everyday wear.”

… Are Margaret-san’s work clothes and everyday wear different? I’m not interested so I totally did not notice.

He has shorts and shirt on now but normally he has a frilly skirt … no, I’ve got to stop thinking about it. I’m going to get nauseous.

I see, so I’ve been unconsciously averting my eyes.

“Ichi-kun, isn’t this where you show a man’s reliability?”

” … Yes, erm, then please make Haru some battle clothes for about 100 sense …”

“It would cost slightly more for battle clothes.”

“If that’s the case then 1000 sense is also alright. I’ll entrust it to you.”

“Yes, thanks Ichi-kun … fufufu, Haru-chan, I’ll choose clothes that would fit you perfectly.”

“Erm, I’m actually alright the way I am now … erm …”

Haru was dragged by Margaret-san into the shop.

Yup, it was impossible to stop Margaret-san once she reached that stage.

I entered the shop and even though I wanted to perk my ears up to listen to the sounds within the changing room, I continued further into the shop.
