CH 10

“By the way, what about Clasia?”

I asked Ornest, who had just walked up to me, as I brushed the sand out of my clothes with my hand.

The last person who was at my party at the Magic Academy. I’m sure you’ll be able to see the creases in Ornest’s face when I ask him about the location of Clasia Annelose.

“… She’s probably headed back to the camp right now.”

I didn’t say why.

But I could guess right away that something had happened between Ornest and Clasia.

“Well, that’s not important. Alec, I heard you were forced to quit your job as a court wizard ?”

“… You’ve heard too many rumors.”

They immediately changed the topic of conversation and left him alone.

It seems that Ornest and Clasia’s relationship has not improved or progressed at all since four years ago.

I laugh at how Ornest talks without hesitation, a change from the way he spoke about Jorha. Then soon after.

“Then it’s too early to talk. Let’s see what you can do. 、、、”

He put his arm around my shoulder.

“I don’t know when that will happen, but if we become the strongest adventurers in the world, I’m sure we’ll be the first to be summoned when the kingdom is in trouble. Let’s get them to their knees and make them crawl on the ground and beg us. Please. Please help us, help us. How about that? Doesn’t that make you feel better? I can’t help but look forward to the time when I say no to those arrogant nobles.”

“… No, wait. I don’t care about that anymore. I mean, that’s such a bad attitude, you know?”

I don’t care about it at all.

Speaking of lying.

But, where is the demon king? I couldn’t ignore Ornest’s suggestion.

“But rather…, I knew from the beginning that this would happen. So, I’m not going to say anything about it just because I was kicked out.”

You’re lucky to have been able to work as a court magician for four years.

For the sake of the money.

This is the main reason why I want to become a court magician. After all, “I’m not good enough to care for a child.” In the end, it didn’t make sense because my father, who was against my choice to become a palace magician to the end, even went to another country to defend his opposing opinion, but thanks to him, I never had to worry about money.

“Hey, man, it’s common sense that if you get hit, you should hit back.”

“That’s the common sense in Ornest, not the common sense of the public.”

Did you hear the conversation?

Misha and Jorha also agreed and nodded at my statement.

The girl named Misha repeatedly begged for me to tell her more. I don’t know what to say.

… Maybe it’s because they’re having a problem with it.

But sadly, if it can be fixed, it has been fixed long ago.

This resulted from the approval of the teachers at the Magic Academy who were trying to fix it. I have no choice but to accept it as individuality. He did not receive it, and it showed on his face.

“… Oh, no …!!!”

… I thought I heard some sad voice, but I’m sure it’s just my imagination.

My stomach hurts as much as I care about it.

So I made the excuse that it didn’t exist, and I pretended I didn’t hear it.

“And stop talking about that crap, and if you want to talk about something, talk about something more exciting.”

“Huh?”

“The dungeon. You’re going to conquer it. Tell me all about it, Ornest.”

Just once, I want to be noticed. even if only for a moment. “… Well, if you ignore me, I’ll take it to the root,” said Ornest, leaving a comment that made no sense.

“The dungeon we’re trying to conquer is located at the west of Fiezel. It’s called “The Tank Killer” because it has a limitation that no healing magic can be used.”

No healing magic is allowed.

So, other than potions to heal wounds, there are no different healing abilities allowed in the dungeon.

Those who are called “tankers” and take on the responsibility of taking on the attacks of their enemies would not want to take on a dungeon with limited healing ability.

“The Tank killers”.

So, I thought the name was a perfect match.

“———So, the three of us made it to 52 floors on, but we got stuck there.”

“What’s going on?”

“The firepower in our party is lacking.”

“Firepower?”

“Yeah. The boss of the 52nd floor was a golem with ridiculously high durability. If I had healing magic, I could have pushed through, but I couldn’t because of the dungeon’s restrictions. That’s why I decided to invite Alec.”

A Golem is a monster made from ore stone and other materials that is very durable against physical attacks.

Golems are the name of this monster.

The only way to attack is with a magic spell, and the Golem is one of the most durable of the many monsters that exist.

So, if you’re in a dungeon where you’re usually forced to fight for a long time and healing magic is forbidden, a Golem with high durability can only be described as a powerful enemy.

The number of potions you can bring in is probably limited, and I can understand why Ornest would sigh about the lack of firepower.

“…well, aside from the golem, the dungeon’s nature, I don’t know how you decided to challenge …… that dungeon.”

The only party member who is not with us is Clasia, who is experienced in healing magic.

So, her power can not be used in a dungeon where recovery magic is disabled.

There is no way to attack at all.

This is not to say that she has no means of attack, but her real strength is in healing magic. That’s why we can’t expect her to work as an attacker.

Lack of firepower.

In response to Ornest’s words, I wanted to say to him that it was reasonable.

“You know you’re wrong about Clasia. For sure.”

“Didn’t I scream for about a week? But the other dungeon I was going to attack decided that there was no support magic allowed in the dungeon, so I had to go ahead with a two-to-one majority vote.”

Is it Jorha? Or Clasia?

She weighed whether the problem would have happened without him, and Ornest invited Jorha, and Jorha, who refused because they didn’t want to be just a burden, tuned in to Ornest.

“… But well, she’s already adapted to the dungeon. She can’t use Healing Magic, so now she’s using a bow. So she’s much better as an attacker than any adventurer there. I don’t admit it. “

However —-.

And the words continue.

“But I still don’t have enough firepower. I’m not sure what to make of it.”

—-What’s more, defeating Golems was one of Alec’s skills, right?

That’, Ornest says with a laugh.

“… Well.”

“Anyway, we’ll talk about the details later, but for now, let’s get out of the Arena. When I finish telling you all the details, Clasia is going to be a bother. You can’t afford to let her sulk.”

—-Fastidious disease.

I think she’ s just a pretty nice person, but Ornest often calls Clasia like that.

The reason dogs and monkeys have been friends for four years is the opposite of their personality.

(The friendship of Ornest and Clasia is likened like a dog and a monkey)

Ornest, who has a rough personality in many ways, and Clasia, who likes to keep everything nice and organized.

Naturally, of course, Ornest and Clasia didn’t like each other. Living together was a problem for them.

“It’s a good thing that I’m not the only one who’s been left out of the group. And I haven’t talked with Clasia for a long time.”

“Oh, yeah. Well then, I’m going to be in a bad mood, so I’ll ask you to help me out.”

With that said, I can smile with a dazzling smile.

When I was at the Magic Academy, I remember that Jorha and I were the people who helped mediate the relationship between Ornest and Clasia, and we did a lot of stupid things.

“I’m sure you’ll be happy to see that nothing has changed since four years ago.”

“Four years is a long time to change anything, right?”

“… Well, it must be.”

I left the “arena” with Jorha and the Ornest, who were in a good mood, and slapped my back.
