chapter 25
25 – Water Bath Sensor (1)
An old bar.
Even though it was late at night, the excitement that filled the bar showed no signs of cooling down.
After all, this is Adamas, the village of eternity.
This is because it is a famous mining town that you would have heard of at least once if you live in the royal capital.
“To those of us who survived today. Cheers!”
“Cheers!”
Miners who drink alcohol to forget the day’s hard work.
Showing off songs is the daily routine of the bar, hoping for a brighter tomorrow.
But they already know.
The fact that tomorrow will be a difficult and difficult day just like today.
Nevertheless, each person has their own story, so today I just console myself with alcohol.
Tingling~.
“… ….”
The once lively bar became quiet with the appearance of a man.
A man covered in an old robe.
He walked straight to the bulletin board as if he had nothing else to do.
The man looked at the bulletin board for a moment, then selected three pieces of paper and headed to the counter.
“With this.”
Youth can be felt in the voice.
Soon, the miners at the bar realized that he was a kid and took immediate action.
“Hey, bro. What brings you here? Did you really come to look for your mom? Ha ha ha!”
“Oh, I guess I came here to look for my mom. They just came to break through to us. Kehehehe.”
An obscene sentence full of contempt and contempt.
But regardless, the man remained silent.
“You bastard!”
The bear-like man, perhaps realizing that he had been ignored, could not overcome his anger and grabbed him by the collar.
Soon, even those who were watching looked with a straight face,
No one stopped the man for the sake of the man.
He is a miner who cannot take care of himself anyway.
If you are so worried about yourself, how can you step up for others?
Miners drink quietly so as not to get caught up in the end.
However, the moment the man stretched out his hand, the miners’ gazes had no choice but to gather again.
“aaah! “How dare you, you brat!”
“Okay, be quiet. “It doesn’t taste like alcohol.”
The situation that was seen as a victory for the company turned around in an instant.
When the man grabbed his man’s hand, he suddenly started to sleep,
A childlike scream burst from the man’s mouth.
“Let go now! “Let go!”
“If you let go, I’ll let go too. Or should we do it like this?”
The man pulled out his sword with his empty hand and continued speaking in an excited voice.
“Let’s just cut off his wrist. “Then there’s no need for me to let go, right?”
“Ugh!”
Everyone knows how important hands are to miners.
If a miner cannot hold a pickaxe, can he be called a miner?
Hands are the life of a miner,
A miner without hands can no longer be called a miner.
The man knew that too, so he had no choice but to loosen his grip and let him go.
“Yes, we should do it this way from the beginning.”
A man leaves a bar after receiving a request as if he has nothing more to do.
It was an impossibly short time, but
The miners in the bar stared blankly at the door he left for a long time.

‘I’m going crazy. Why is there a fight going on there?’
After checking Line’s miserable abilities, I couldn’t sleep comfortably.
Thanks to this, we even mobilized horses and visited Adamas late at night.
Adamas, the village of eternity.
As its name suggests, the mine of Adamas boasts a mineral vein that never dries up.
Thanks to this, it is a place I often frequent when I need money.
I came here today to do something different.
Since I was here, I was planning to do a side quest and then go back.
‘I feel this every time, but there is no place where fights occur as often as here.’
I went to the bar thinking it would be different this time, but no, it would be different.
In the end, an argument broke out and it ended up causing a commotion.
‘Disguise is useless like this.’
I took some care and even wore a robe, but it looks like this.
No, did that guy get twisted because of the robe?
I wore a robe in a place where only miners were present, so it was only natural.
“Forget about him for now. “It was definitely around here.”
A place a little far from town.
There is nothing to see around except rolling stones.
Actually, there is a hidden attraction here.
That’s right.
“Ah, here it is. Here.”
A hidden dungeon.
This is an equipment farming dungeon called the Golem Dungeon.
This is a place I often frequent because they have accessories that increase various abilities.
Today’s goal is accessories that increase magical power.
“Who knew that I could only train my muscles?”
Although it was lower than me, if you look at just the strength, it was quite high.
But the problem is mana.
I couldn’t believe I was a magic swordsman, and for a moment I couldn’t believe my eyes.
For some reason, he went out in one hit while holding [Blue Silver Moon].
For magical power to be effective, it needs to be supported to a certain degree.
Because its magic power was so low, it was reduced to just a hard sword.
‘If I had known that would happen, I would have prepared something else.’
I know it’s already too late to regret it, but
Nevertheless, I couldn’t help but feel regret.
However, if you just get the accessories here, you can cover it to some extent, so it is not a big problem.
The problem is that the jewelry you want doesn’t always come out dirty.
“The water bath sensor must be broken.”
I feel it every time I come, but the water bath sensor exists.
No matter what kind of jewelry you want, it doesn’t come out all at once.
Only the best accessories that increased other abilities were available.
I got so angry every time that happened, that even thinking about it now, I feel like I’m about to burst into anger.
“…… Is it coming out slowly? How long do you plan on hiding?”
I suddenly asked that question into the sky.
I know that there is no one here but me.
Still, maybe because I’m a guy, I sometimes get sick like this in middle school.
No one will be there anyway, so it’s kind of fun to do this….
“Oh my, since when did you know?”
“… ….”
Kerrion appeared from behind the rock, smiling as usual, as if he had been waiting.
‘Why does it really exist?’
I pretend to be calm on the outside and act like nothing is wrong, but
I thought my heart was falling out.
How did you follow me here without being detected?
Of course, I even mobilized my horse and ran at full speed.
Since you have traveled through the vast wilderness, if someone is following you, you will notice right away.
But it seems like Kerrion was behind me from the beginning.
She appeared casually.
Does this make sense?
This is so absurd that it makes no sense.
‘Because of this, we are treated as black people.’
It often appears in games like this.
It was a natural result that people even thought that Kerry would laugh and stab her in the back after such a sudden appearance.
“Is there anything you want to say?”
“… Done. “What can I say to you?”
If you ask anyway, it will only get you out of the way.
I’m not stupid enough to ask questions that hurt.
And as expected, Kerrion bursts out laughing at my answer.
This is the completion of a squinty-eyed, black-faced character that anyone would suspect just by looking at his appearance.
“First of all, let me tell you, I just came for a walk.”
“A walk to Adamas, far from the royal capital? “That sounds very credible.”
Let’s pass the joke and move the rock in front of her aside.
A small cave appeared inside.
A magic circle that emits a soft light in the center within a not very large interior.
This is the entrance to the dungeon.
“Is this really a dungeon? “You’re hiding in a place like this.”
Ignored Kerrion, who was telling lies, and immediately climbed onto the magic circle.
Then the surrounding scenery changed.
I guess I made it into the dungeon safely.
“Light.”
As I spoke indifferently, a small group of lights appeared on the palm of my hand.
A small group of lights the size of a fist.
But it was more than enough to brighten up the surroundings.
“Hey, Kerrion.”
“What’s going on?”
“Would you touch someone else’s butt in this situation?”
As I was about to leave, I pointed out in annoyance when I felt a hand on her clothes.
However, even though he was pointed out, his touch did not stop,
In fact, he massaged my butt even more vigorously, as if this was the only time he could do it.
“Stop kneading!”
“Ah….”
When he finally threw away his hand, a voice filled with regret flowed.
“It doesn’t matter anyway, right? “Don’t you remember the last match?”
“Of course I remember! But there’s no need to do it in a situation like this!”
Yes, the last Class F one-card match.
In the end, I had no choice but to allow my butt to suffer defeat.
It’s not that I don’t accept defeat, but at least I don’t have to do it now!
“hehehe, I can’t help it. “Then let’s enjoy it next time.”
“… “For now, I will subtract 30 seconds.”
“You seem to be calculating quite cruelly.”
Sounds obvious!
Who would be touched like this and leave alone for five minutes?
Telling Kerrion won’t work anyway, so let’s start exploring the dungeon first.
***
“Hmm!”
Quaang!
A golem that instantly turns into a pile of rubble when its core is pierced by its fist.
The physical defense is high, but it is still not impenetrable.
It would be nice to have a decent sword, but unfortunately, I don’t have enough money left over to buy one.
The sword I borrowed from the academy is not enough.
I plan to keep it attached to my waist.
“I’m sorry. “I never thought magic wouldn’t work.”
For some reason, I was secretly impressed by Kerrion’s sincere apology.
Actually, the name of this dungeon is Magic Prohibited Zone.
The setting is that no magic works on a golem made with ancient technology.
It is said to have high magic defense, making magic useless.
So, the wizard Kerrion is nothing more than a lump of burden.
“Then at least turn on the light. “You can keep it up for a long time, but it’s annoying to fight because you’re distracted.”
“Well, to that extent.”
I put the broken golem’s core into my bag and started walking again.
I collected 5 with this, so I guess there are about 15 left.
Even though it is a side quest, it is extremely annoying.
(Guard, fighting! Please call me next time!)
‘It’s noisy!’
I can’t even choose it myself in the first place, so what should I call it?
In fact, I am reluctant to use the ticket because I am afraid that my location will be released.
It is essential to deal with all situations.
I hope that this time, someone with better personality than location will come out.
“Hmm? “Have we arrived already?”
“Then this is…” .”
How long has it been since then?
We finally arrived at where the boss was.
Anyway, Kerrion, the wizard, is not at his best, so it is certain that I will have to fight alone.
I was planning on fighting alone anyway, so it doesn’t matter.
As expected, the anxiety is the same.
“Then, as I said before, avoid it on your own.”
“Yes. “I’m quite confident in hiding, so don’t worry.”
“Okay. Then let’s go!”
I hope the water bath sensor doesn’t work.
Please.
