CHAPTER 15 – DUNGEON OF EARTH・CAPTURE 3
We have advanced smoothly through 8~10 floors with few short breaks .
The number of people coming in and out on these floors steadily decreased, and the hidden rooms and treasure chest we discovered are scarce .
The contents of the treasure chests were Low-grade Stamina and Mana potions . Stamina potion is a magic potion that replenishes stamina while Mana potion is used by mages to recover magical power . They are the game’s standard items .
They come in Low grade, Medium grade, High grade and Special grade, the quality and amount of recovery increases the higher the grade is .
The ones we obtained are of Low Grade so their recovery power isn’t that great . But, magic potions itself are expensive goods and are precious drops for adventurers in this dungeon .
「「That way~」」
I’m afraid to say that I have come all the way here without being tired or feeling a loss of magic power, though…
Maa~ there might be a time where they will be useful so let’s set them aside without selling them .
Speaking of magic potions, a magic potion that cures diseases and wounds, a Healing potion also exists on Aetherdia . In addition to drinking, it can also be apparently used directly on the wound . Furthermore, potions used for detoxifications and potions that temporarily increase physical strength also exist .
There also is a secret medicine among the Healing potions . Maa, you won’t be able to see one easily, though . The secret medicine can heal any incurable diseases and apparently even restore lost limbs . I’d rather connect the torn off arm than grow a new one……
N~ I want to see it, I don’t want to see it… a complicated feeling .
The items in my possessions are generic drugs like medicine for cold and stomach medicine, but I don’t have any Healing potions . I think there won’t be any problems since I have a Healing magic, but I would like to get my hands on one just in case .
「「Here~」」
Oh! The two children found stairs leading to the next floor .
The moment we descended on the 11th floor, a Wild Ape has leaped towards us .
「Kiiiiiーー!」
Wild Ape is an orangutan-like monster .
Despite the sudden attack, Allen and Elena pour kicks on the Wild Ape straight away .
The Wild Ape crashes into a wall . The Wild Ape who was suddenly flug against a wall in counterattack looks dumbfounded .
Allen and Elena pursuit that momentary opening . The defenseless Wild Ape ceased to breathe under the twins’ kicks .
It’s neck evidently snapped……
The Wild Ape’s corpse disappears and leaves behind a drop item . It’s Wild Ape’s fur . It’s a good thing for a Low Class dungeon . But, this much is not enough to make equipment of it . Let’s deposit it in《Infinite Storage》for now .
Still, the perception and hand-to-hand combat sense of the twins is terrific .
They advance without getting lost and can discover monsters quickly .
Even though no one taught them, even I who know close to nothing about Martial Arts can understand their splendid movements . They are most likely moving on instinct .
I’m genuinely happy that some influential person does not shelter these two .
The thing Syl might have been worried is this .
However, I have a certain feeling that I’m also taking advantage of them, but is that all right……
「「Kita~」」
Allen and Elena discovered another monster . A snake monster, Clay Snake has appeared .
「Oh, wait a moment!」
I stop Allen and Elena who were going to leap at the enemy .
The two obediently stop moving and fixedly stare at my face .
「That thing has a poison in its fangs, let me take care of it」
That’s right, the Clay Snake has a minuscule amount of poison in its fangs . Similarly to the Poison Spider from before, it’s a monster I want the bare handed children to avoid fighting with .
When the two nod in affirmation, I shoot out the《Wind Cutter》 .
Of course, it was an instant kill . The dropped item is Clay Snake’s skin .
As soon as I pick it up, another monster appears . Three Giant Bees, honey bees the size of an adult .
「Be careful of the stinger」
「「Wa~i」」
When I remind the children to be careful, they cheerfully reply .
Un . Although it was only one word, the two’s vocabulary steadily increasing . It’s a good thing .
The Giant Bee is a monster with considerably nimble movements . They take full advantage of their aerial movements to attack Allen and Elena . Allen and Elena smoothly dodge that and counterattack . However, the Giant Bees retreat to the air where the two can’t reach .
Allen and Elena who have unusually hard time turn in pursuit of the Giant Bees .
Un . It’s a game of tag no matter how I look .
I intend to help as soon as it becomes dangerous, but how can I destroy the spectacle of the twins having fun?
Oh! They have been chasing it individually at first, but the two now move in a pincer attack .
Elena chances while Allen sneaks around to the Giant Bee’s destination . They safely brought it down the first one .
Cooperation is the twin’s field of expertise . They can determine their roles just with an eye contact .
They knock down the second one immediately . N? …… I feel like they didn’t make an eye contact .
These two, are they actually using telepathy to communicate? The cooperation was so splendid it forced me think that .
「「Defeated~」」
Allen and Elena had a hard time dealing with the bees at first, but in the end, it took them less than ten minutes to deal with the three bees . They pick up the bee’s drop items and trot over to me .
「You worked hard」
I receive the drop items while praising and patting the twins’ heads . The dropped items are 1 Bee Stinger and 2 jars of Honey .
Oh, it’s honey! A very precious item on Aetherdia which lacks sweetness .
Of course, the sugar is also being sold, but its slightly higher in price . The price for one kg is around several thousand yen . It’s around ten times more expensive than in Japan?
It’s enough to be called a luxury for a commoner . You would be able to stay a night at an inn with two meals at that price .
Because I have an absolutely higher income than I have had in Japan, I can buy anything if I say so myself .
However, I shouldn’t do that . I’m hesitant about buying it . The quality isn’t that good .
Therefore, I can’t help, but keep on thinking about getting a normal honey……
Moreover, the honey inside the jars have a beautiful golden color and look incredibly delicious .
Un, if we meet more Giant Bees, let’s take an aggressive stance against them!
We encountered Giant Bees immediately even without searching . Despite there being five of them this time, Allen and Elena defeated them right away .
Isn’t their learning ability amazing? I thought that, but since there’s nothing wrong about it, I decided to leave it alone .
The drop items are 1 Giant Bee’s Wing, 2 Stingers and 2 Jars of Honey .
Doing well, so smooth!
Nevertheless…… is there a problem that the twins defeated 70% of the encountered monsters……? The monsters I defeated are only poison monsters and hard-shelled insects, and I also acted when we encountered big groups . Allen and Elena dealt with everything else .
If I had to say, the two are advancing while fighting . But, they seem to be having fun, so I let them dealt with it unless it gets dangerous .
However, if other people saw it, won’t they say that I’m working the children too much? Because I’m just watching from behind while the two children fight .
Shouldn’t I be more responsible as a guardian? It’s not like I’m forcing them to do it, so it’s okay, right?
「「Found it~」」
The two found the stairs to the next floor . Do I rely on them too much?
