Norn desperately pulled the door but it didn’t budge.
“It’s useless. Have you forgotten that the door to the goddess statue room can’t be opened before the boss is defeated?”
“Ah, I see. Then we should quickly defeat the boss ― eh? Miri-chan, we have to open this door if we want to defeat the boss … eh? Then, don’t we have to wait here until somebody else defeats the boss?”
“Of course not. Have you forgotten? My magic is ― ”
“Ah, that’s right. As expected of Miri-chan!”
“Haaa … Then, let’s leave. 「Escape」!”
When they noticed it, Miri and Norn were in the middle of the town.
They suddenly appeared out of nowhere but luckily nobody saw them appear (it was also luck that the labyrinth was at the outskirts of town) so no particular problems arose.
“Ah, this is the town of Belasra. I’ve also been here once. If you like, I can guide you around?”
“Hmm … I want to go to the gambling parlor. Ah, but before that, we have to raise some money at the Adventurers Guild.”
“Money? Miri-chan, do you possess anything that can be turned into money?”
“Yeah. I have something that can definitely be sold at a high price.”
Miri said and used Space-Time Magic, causing an item that can be sold at high price to appear.

“This, what stunning fur. How, how exactly did you acquire something like this milady?”
“During my journey, I found the corpse of a rare wolf. It was a fresh corpse so I stripped the fur on the spot.”
“I, I see.”
The man had a business smile but his countenance changed when he saw the pure white fur Miri brought and began inspecting it.
As the inspection proceeded, the man’s complexion quickly turned red.
“What happened to the flesh and fangs?”
“After I finished skinning it, a huge snake came and swallowed it.”
” …… I see.”
It was unsure if the man believed Miri’s story or not but he had a subtle expression on his face as,
“I see, that’s a shame. This wolf is a type of mythical beast called Fenrir, its fur is valuable but a single one of its fangs might even sell for 1 million. Here’s your payment.”
The man took out 1 gold coin and 100 silver coins.
“Gold coin … Miri-chan is amazing.”
Norn was in high spirits behind Miri but Miri’s expression was sour.
“Are you looking down on me?”
“I’m not. The appraised value is 300 thousand sense but we can’t prepare such a large sum. The remaining 280 thousand sense would be deposited into your guild card account and you can withdraw a limit of 20 thousand sense a day.”
Saying that, the man handed her a proof of transfer.
“Well, 20 thousand sense should be more than enough. Now then, Miri, let’s go to the gambling parlor.” (TL: I think the author meant Norn there.)
“Er … you’re not … going to the gambling parlor for the sake of playing leisurely right?”
“Naturally.”
Miri said with an innocent smile for the first time in a long time. However, that innocent smile was a smile that brings misfortune to a lot of people.
(For the sake of having Onii live in this world peacefully, at the very least I need to multiply this 20 thousand sense by 10 thousand times.)
Miri snickered at the prospect of earning all that by gambling.
