V2C42 (2/2)

Oops, that should be for Apprentice Practitioner. Lv8 huh.

“Ama, amazing, it’s the first time I’ve experience healing magic, so it is capable of showing effect so quickly huh … wait, leaving that aside, young master, you can use healing magic!? Don’t tell me, you’re a noble-sama!?”

“There’s no way I’m a noble … rather, why did you link the use of healing magic with nobles?”

“Young master, you don’t know? There are a lot of people among nobles who can use healing magic.”

I had no idea of such a thing.

Well, nobles are wealthy so they can raise their Commoner level by changing job to Commoner and pay taxes, becoming Apprentice Practitioners. Wait, if a large sum of money is required to be treated using said healing magic, then the gap between the rich and the poor would widen even further.

A disparate society is scary.

Speaking of nobles, that Oregeru most likely went to the labyrinth after all.

Since we didn’t pass him by when we were on our way here.

“Master, are you alright?”

“Yeah, Haru?”

“Thanks to the wind brooch master gave me, I don’t even have a single scratch.”

“I see …”

But, Haru’s hair was quite dirty.

I’ve got to quickly wipe it off.

“Hey, there are buckets used to store water on the wall right! Please lend me 1! I’ll prepare the water myself so just throw me the bucket.”

I asked of the adventurers on the wall for the wooden buckets most likely prepared for fires.

The adventurer immediately replied and threw a bucket over.

“「Petite Water」”

I sent a mass of water flying directly above.

The mass of water flew out with great force but could not defy gravity and came falling down.

“「Petite Fire」”

The water crashed into the flames.

Even though it’s high-temperature flames, it was just for an instant. Without turning the water into steam, the water fell down.

【Ichinojo Level up]

【Magician skill: 「Wind Magic」has skilled up to 「Wind Magic II」]

Oh, it’s lucky that my level went up. Looks like I learnt 「Wind」 magic.

Then, the water fell into the bucket. Though, half of it was spilled.

“I’ve warmed it slightly but it should be better than just water … Haru here, towel. Wipe your hair, face and wherever it feels disgusting. I’ll wipe myself also.”

“Thank you, master.”

We wiped the sticky green goo off ourselves with the towels.

We’ll have to properly maintain our armour and swords later too.

“Young master, can I have it too?”

“You will have to wait until the end.”

“I’m fine with being last. Thank you.”

As we were wiping the green fluids off ourselves, the adventurers descended from the wall and began recovering the defeated wool worms.

Unlike regular dismantling, you need to remove the thread from wool worms when dismantling them. That work is customarily done by the Textile Guild.

In addition to the money from selling the wool worms, it seems like the town would give out rewards as well. We received an explanation that it will be divided among the people who participated in the battle. In particular, the 10 people who dropped down to fight, including me and Haru, will be generously paid.

Normally, for large-scale party combat like these, non-adventurers like me would not receive the reward for exterminating the monsters and my reward would only be to wholesale the monsters that I hunted myself but, because I’m in a party together with Haru, she received my part of the rewards. Looks like the painful system called Jobless is still going strong.

Well, in these kind of situations, people apart from adventurers and soldiers seldom fight with the monsters so there’s most likely not been much discontent and grumbling.

When I explained that I wasn’t an adventurer, the man beside me oddly said “Eh, young master is not an adventurer? You’re a noble in incognito after all.” but I ignored him.

“Putting all things aside, I wonder why did the monsters attack …”

When I muttered so, I thought of something unlikely.

“Haru! Can you detect Carol’s smell?”

” … Yes!”

Don’t tell me, Carol was brought into the labyrinth!?

If that happened, the instant she entered the labyrinth, her Temptress skill would be triggered and her monster-attracting pheromones would be released from her body. The monsters approached due to the smell … such a thing is not impossible right?

Then, the monsters left when Carol left the labyrinth, or that she entered deep enough such that the smell doesn’t leak out anymore.

If it’s the latter, then the same thing would happen once again when Carol’s on her way out of the labyrinth.

Author’s note:

This novel’s points have exceeded my first work, “Otherworld journey with cheat codes that made me stronkkkk”, becoming my highest-rated work.

I am truly thankful to you all who bookmarked and evaluated. The comments and reviews are very encouraging as well. (TL: Same here~!
