Evil Avalon

Chapter 43-Humans are hard to remember

{SPONSORED CHAPTER-3}

(Sponsor-Tria)

(TL:By Rafael)

"Oh, by the way, we had a human visitor recently."

"...... What?"

　

Obaba's store was located in a hidden area that could not be reached by normal means. There were no adventurers in sight in the square in front of the store, so I assumed that no one had ever been there before.

"What was he like?"

"Hmm, I'm sorry. I don't really remember."

　

(TL: Furufuru won beacuse nobody else even voted for furu)

 Furufuru nodded her head and muttered, "Humans are hard to remember."

In a way, it's interesting that even though she's a demon, she looks like a human, but it's hard to remember what a human looks like--

(Is that a player she's talking about?)

　

　It's been a little over a month since I was transported to this world. If you're starting in class E like I did, the difficulty of reaching Obaba's store in this period should be reasonably high. Still, if you've taken the time and risk to raise your level more efficiently than I did, there's no reason you can't come. It's also possible that you've come this far with knowledge and methods that I don't know about.

(Could it be that he's not a player, but a regular adventurer?)

　

　As far as I could find in the library, I couldn't find any articles about this place. However, it's been decades since this dungeon was discovered. It wouldn't be surprising if one of us had accidentally arrived at this place during that time by fitting dungeon currency into the hollows out of curiosity. The fact that no information has been released could be due to the fact that they wanted to monopolize this place and conceal it.

　

　Whether it was a player or a non-player adventurer, if they knew about this store, they must have bought up something. That's what I would do. But looking at the inventory, I didn't get the feeling that this was the case, so I decided to ask.

　

　If the visitor was a player, he would buy the same potions and ores I did, and if he was an adventurer, he would buy magic items. I might be able to narrow it down to one or the other depending on what they buy.

"He didn't buy anything, okay?　　Just ...... like you, he asked who came to my store."

(...... he didn't buy anything?)

　

　The lineup in this store is very attractive compared to the outside. Did they not have any dungeon currency on hand? If that's the case, just ask Furufuru about the existence and necessity of currency, save up, and then come back to buy some. And if you want to buy it, you can buy it with magic stones.

　

　But the fact that he didn't buy anything suggests that he was simply asking who had come to see her. If you're asking this question at this time, it's more likely to be a player than an adventurer.

(Did any of my classmates seem to be holed up in a dungeon?)

　

　I was mostly through with my classmates. ...... Rather, because of my bad reputation for losing to slime, no one approached me and I was through. After school, I didn't even look for club activities, I was all about dieting or dungeon diving. I had no idea who was diving and for how long.

(I had always thought that I could quit school at any time. Should I interact with them a little more to gather information?)

　

　Interacting with classmates has the disadvantage of taking up extra time, but it can also be an advantage in gathering information and ripe for useful events. This is because most of the events and characters in Dun Ex are related to the Adventurer's School.

　

　In addition, there are some dangerous scenarios and events, and in order to avoid them, it might be a good idea to keep track of how far Akagi-kun and the heroines have progressed through the events, based on their interactions.

"...... I see. When that person comes back, can you please keep the fact that I came here a secret? It's not good if people know."

　

　The only reason I was able to get here so quickly was because of the irregularity of Volgemut. The fact that he got here earlier than I did suggests that he's a pretty good player. Since there is a possibility that he might become an enemy, I would like to keep this information from him if possible.

　

　If it's a level-up competition, I'm sure I'm not losing. We're going to smash it.

"Yes. But I don't think I'll be able to remember you either, so you don't have to worry."

"Thank you very much. I'm sure I'll be back, and I look forward to working with you then."

"I'll be back~sister!"

　

　When Hanano waved, Furufuru waved back with a smile. I don't know why they are running such a deserted store with no customers coming, but it helps us in many ways.

　

　We returned to the empty square and took a break. The square was so vast and quiet that I couldn't believe I was in a dungeon. There are no birds singing or wind murmuring, but the ceiling is high and the light blue color gives a sense of openness. It felt good to have such a place to myself with my sister.

　

　We took out the yakisoba noodles we bought at the entrance of the 10th floor and ate them. I expected it to be expensive, but it didn't taste that great. I mean, what kind of meat is this?

　

"Let's go home then."

"Yes."

　

　The way back was through a gate in a corner of the square. If you register your magic power here, you will be able to come to Obaba's store from outside the dungeon immediately.

　

　You'll be carrying four ores weighing more than a dozen kilograms each, but the weight won't be too much of a problem, thanks to your increased strength from leveling up. The ores are bigger and bulkier than the weight, making it difficult to carry them, so I need a magic bag as soon as possible. For that, I need to earn a lot of dungeon currency.

　

　I'm not sure if I'll go hunting for minotaurs next time or if I'll dive further. I'll have to think about that when I get home. Anyway, too much happened today and I'm tired. I can't stop myself from sneezing since a while ago.

　

　I pass magic power to the pattern on the wall that I've seen before and open the gate. You'll be able to go through it and instantly be transported to an empty classroom on the first basement floor of the school. The temperature is a few degrees cooler than in the dungeon, and it's pleasantly cool.

"You can go ahead and leave. I'm going to the workshop to deposit this ore. Can you go back by yourself?"

"I'll be fine. I'll take care of the rest."

　

　She was in a good mood, skipping and walking away in a happy mood. It's a good idea to keep a low profile on campus because you're an outsider. The armor makes you stand out, so I should make a uniform to disguise her.

　

　I'm sure my current level will be revealed while carrying the ore, so I'll borrow a cart to carry it to the workshop. As I rattled my way out, I heard the sound of training from the direction of the arena. It reminded me of my high school days,......, or rather, now I was in high school too.

　

　Speaking of which, what happened to Akagi's club activities? I'm wondering if he joined a club for E class after all.I'm wondering if he's already fallen into the darkness. ...... In that case, it would be better to move to avoid getting caught up in the mess.

　

　*...*...*...*...*...*

　

　A brand-new exterior wall and a well-cleaned luggage storage area. From inside the white, square shaped workshop, we could hear the sounds of large machines running and metal banging.

　

　The school also has a club activity where students learn to make metal sculptures and ornaments under the guidance of a private company, and this activity takes place mainly in the workshop area on the school grounds. Like mithril, dungeon metals are processed while passing a large amount of magic power. The students of the Adventurer's School, who have experienced a lot of level ups and have a lot of magic power, are highly qualified to be metal carvers and blacksmiths, and many of them aspire to become such.

(Well. I wonder if any of the older students are here.)

　

　As I peeked inside through the wide open entrance of the workshop, a large student noticed me and came out.

"What is it? A ...... request?"

　

　After looking at me quizzically, he saw the ore on the back of the truck and seemed to know it was a request. Yes, that's right.

"I'd like an estimate on the refining of this ore and, if possible, the creation of a weapon, is that okay?"

　

　He looked at me curtly, a second-year student, I guess. The next thing I know, he's looking at the ore and is surprised to see that there's mithril ore.

"Oh, we're studying Mithril alloys right now. If you ask, we'll make it cheaper?"

"I see. How much would you charge?""

　

　The older man was suddenly in a good mood. I'm not sure what's going on here, but if it's going to be cheap, I might as well ask. In a little while, I'll be able to make a profit from reselling HP potions, but for now, my wallet is tight.

"If you're willing to leave the mithril and silver refining to me, ...... is about as good as it gets. If you want to make a weapon, it first depends on how much mithril you can afford. You'd better decide after refining."

　

　The price offered was cheaper than I had expected. It's a good idea to go to the adventurer's guild next time to see what they have to offer.

"I'm in class E, first year. My name is Narumi.

"First year E class"? And you use mithril alloy weapons or something like that? ...... Oh well. Come back later."

"Aren't you going to write a letter or something?

"...... Wait a minute."

　

　He  got me a  refinement request contract form from the back, so I'll sign it. He told me that the refining would be ready soon and that I should come back for it in a few days.

　

　Well, well. Let's just go home.

　

　*...*...*...*...*

"I'm home~, ...... oh?"

"Sota! I'm not sure if what Hanano is saying is true ....... What's wrong with you, you've lost so much weight. ......"

　

As soon as I got home, my mother came running to the door. She seemed to have heard that Hanano had become an anchor and came to inquire about the truth, but she also seemed surprised by my change. I was over 100 pounds in the morning, but now I see that I've lost about a pound, which is not normal.

　

　He seemed to have a lot of surprises and questions, waving his arms around and fumbling with his mouth.

"Can we do this over dinner?　　I'm starving."

"...... The rice is already ready, I'll put it on the table."

　

　I went into my room and breathed a sigh of relief. I was really tired for the day.

　

　I've just bought some ...... armor for my demon wolf that's all torn up and I need to replace it. I'm not sure how much it costs to get armor for a level 19.

　

　I changed into my rough loungewear and went to the living room, where my father was sitting, laughing at me. Well, that's just fine.

"So, where to begin: ......

"From  becoming a [caster], please."

　

　My mother slid into the seat next to me and hurriedly said.

　

　In this world, if you can change your job to a basic job, you are considered to be a full-fledged adventurer who can make a full-time living. My father, who has yet to give up his desire to be an adventurer, has been unable to get past the level 4 barrier for a long time. He pretends to be uninterested in how to raise his level that high, while reading the newspaper and listening carefully to me.

"I want what I'm about to tell you to be a family secret, okay?"

"...... Is that great information?"

"Well, some of it, I suppose."

　

　New information about dungeons can be sold for a huge price. It's the kind of thing you can live off of for the rest of your life. If you know that you know something like that, there will be some dangerous people who will try to force you to get it.

　

　Sensing the seriousness of the situation, my father and mother both gulped and waited for the rest of the story.

"I became a caster, and you became a Thief, right?

"Ah. And while we're at it, Hanano and I are both now level 19."

"......19?"

　

My father's eyes widened and my mother leaned forward to ask him back. It seems that level 19 is the level at which a certain famous clan invites you to play. My mother then hold my hands and says,

"My kids are geniuses!"

　

　

　I know I can trust the Narumi family, and they can be incomparable collaborators. I'm thinking of keeping my family in the dark about what I've been doing since I came to this world. I will not hesitate to tell them about my knowledge of dungeons, after informing them of the dangers.

　On the other hand, I'm not going to tell them that this was a game world or what happened in the original world, because that would only make them worry about my diaper. It wouldn't make any sense to talk about it.

　For the time being, I'll start by carefully explaining the events of the past few days.
