CH 25

Ain: “Oh, OHHhhHH?!”

Sia: “AUUuu”

IーIt’s shaking?

No, the shaking stopped.

As soon as I defeated the Boss, the ground began to shake, and it made me worry for a second.

The ground shook when the Boss appeared too, so I don’t know what that’s about.

But～ well now. It was frightening when the Boss Monster suddenly appeared, but I never thought that I would be able to defeat it with its own Magic Spell.

I really need to thank the person who gave me the [Alchemy BOX] and the [Enchant] ability.

As I was thinking about different things, Sia voice suddenly rose an octave.

Sia: “U, UOOOOoooAAAEEE!”

She was looking at something that was there at her feet.

A brilliantly glittery rock ーー a jewel?!

Ain: “IーIs this a [Drop Item] that you get when you defeat a Dungeon Monster?!”

Sia: “Prrrーy”

It was the size of a ping-pong ball, and there were various colors. Some were red, blue, and green. At a glance, I counted about 15 of them.

There’s also ones that look like ores………..hm?

Ain: “What’s this one? Is it a fruit of some sort?”

Sia: “Hm-hm. Gooー?”

Ain: “Hmm, I don’t know. Besides, if it’s a fruit that came from a Boss Monster drop, I wouldn’t be surprised if it was poisoned.”

Remembering the Boss’ demonic baboon face, I can’t imagine this fruit to be too tasty.

But, let’s go ahead and assess it.

I place it inside the [Alchemy BOX] and I hear…

[The Status Fruit. By consuming it, a random status will go up by +1]

Ain: “AーA Status Fruit?! This…...this is an ultra rare Drop Item!!”

Sia: “UOOOOoooooo!”

Ain: “But just +1……..even though it’s an ultra rare item, the effect is trash…….I heard that a good one would give you +20 soー”

Even if your Status goes up by one, it’s so small that you wouldn’t know the difference.

Ain: “But it’s still an ultra rare, so it’ll be a waste to eat it. We only have one anyways.”

Sia: “AAEEee…..AH! UーK!”

Sia runs off. From where the room’s entrance was, to the left of it in the corner, the floor was shining with some sort of light.

Ain: “This…...is a Magic Inscription, right?”

Sia: “Yea”

Usually, in games, this would be a teleport gate that took you back to the surface, but is that what this is?

If that’s the case, that’ll be a life saver. If we go back the way we came from, we would need to climb up 10 floors.

Ain: “Is there anything you’re forgetting?”

Sia: “Uuuuー.......no”

Ain: “Alright……..let’s hop on.”

Sia: “Ohhー”

As we step onto the Magic Spell Inscription, light shines upwards towards the ceiling andーーthe scenery instantly changes.

We came out toーー ummmーー

Ain: “Is this the Dungeon’s entrance?”

Sia: “Oooooo”

But it was pitch black outside.

Ain: “It’s already night…….I guess we’ll rest at the cottage before we head back?”

Sia: “Uuuu…….no.”

Ain: “Yeahー I feel the same. If we’re going to rest, I rather sleep on a bed.”

It’s about a 2 hour walk to the inn…….I guess we’ll do our best.

<<<<>>>>

[Unpeh～]

Ain: “Oh! Hey Boris! We’re back～”

[Unpehー Peh-peh～]

Ain: “I’m sorry, bud. We’re really tired so we’ll play tomorrow, okayー”

[Unbehーー]

As we came down from the mountain, both Boss and Boris popped up to greet us.

I know Boris wants to play, but I’m really at my limit.

We still had to walk another half hour, and we finally arrived at the inn.

Ain: “Siaー can you get some water from the well? We’ll at least wash our feet before we sleepー”

Sia: “EEeeeー”

Sia seemed disgruntled as she took the bucket with her and left out of the side door. While she’s gone, I start unpacking our things.

Because we had a much easier time getting out of the Dungeon, we had extra food supplies left over.

I took out everything that was in the bag I carried and placed it on the table. From there, I reached into my pocket andーー

Ain: “I can’t just keep carrying out this Dimension Rock. It’s scary carrying it around, and even if I try to store it somewhere, something could trigger it. I guess I’ll just keep it in my BOX for now.”

I place the stone inside the BOX. I took off my jacket and……..ughー I need to put away the bag as well.

(yaw～n)

[A rock enchanted with {Dimension Fall}. If thrown and impacted with another object, it will initiate the Spell {Dimension Fall}]

[A stupid-looking carrying bag]

HEY!! Give me a break!!

I made that bag out of the sheets we had. It would have been impossible to make it look any better!

Hm?

[Would you like to enchant?]

Hm……..? HMMMMMMMM……????

Why is my carrying bag inside the [Alchemy BOX]?

Did I accidentally put it in there by mistake when I was putting it away?”

But……...what do you mean by enchanting?

If you hit something with the bag, will it fly into inter-dimensional space?

………..a bag that’s connected to inter-dimensional space……

Wait…….is that……..

Ain: “Can I turn it into an Item Box?!”
