I gazed blankly at the black fog that was evidence of Gan Ceann, who has now drifted away.
âIt was the strongest enemy so far.â (Kei)
âYup. The location was bad, but it was also the most powerful. Of all the battles weâve fought and won.â (Haru)
Haru was right, the strongest monster we had ever met was none other than Rimdobmur. But if you donât count the outlandish ones that canât even be fought, Iâd say this one is the strongest.
âBy the way, how about drop items?â (Haru)
Hearing Haruâs words, I looked at the place where Gan Ceann had died and found a few dropped items. I think there are a lot of them this time.
âIâm not sure if itâs the fact that he was treated like a boss thatâs causing so many drops?â (Kei)
âMaybe itâs a reward from the dungeon for killing the errorâŠâ (Haru)
We wasted no time in sorting through the items and Haru took a look at them.
The first one,
âItem Pouch (Medium)⊠Can store up to 10 tons and cancel out their weight.â
The item pouch he had been using was a small pouch, so it must have gotten a step larger. Itâs now 10 tons, compared to the previous oneâs 1 ton. I can now carry a car easily.
I think Iâll manage this one at home. Since Haru doesnât like to carry luggage, sheâll carry the one-ton item pouch and Iâll carry the ten-ton one.
Then the second one. Or rather, the second and third.
âProof of Combat with Two⊠Proof of subduing an Error with just two people: If you party with someone who has the paired equipment, you will receive compensation [Fixed] [Restore] [Try on].â
There were two. The shape is that of a friendship bracelet. [T/N: Misanga or ăă”ăłăŹ are braided bracelets given for good luck or as a sign of friendship. Google-sensei has pictures of this.]
âHmm, I wonder if I should put it on my arm. Itâs not an ordinary item, so if I try to channel magical power, oh? Brother, it shrank. It fits perfectly on my wrist.â (Haru)
There was something like that. By the way, I think that is the effect of one of the attached skills, so Haru uses the [Inspection] on the skills.
âFixed⊠Unchanging: Item-only skillâ
I have no idea, but I donât think people can learn item-only skills.
âReturn ⊠Returns to you when you wherever you are as long as you consciously do so: Item-only skill.â
Well, as the word says.
âTry on⊠Match the size to fit the wearer: Item-only skill.â
I guess this is the result of Haruâs testing earlier.
I also put it through my right hand and let the magic flow through it to make it the perfect size. Itâs not a problem, but itâs not a hindrance, and itâs not too tight either.
Now, it was time for the fourth one.
I thought the fourth one would be an ordinary magic stone, but apparently, it is not.
âMagic Ball (Medium)⊠You can store up to 1000 points of magic power.â
Well, it just saves magical power. Itâs great, and it seems that it can be taken out.
Haru uses more magical power than I do, so Iâll give this to Haru.
Currently, our magical power is almost empty, so we didnât proceed with the experiment.
And the fifth. The fifth was a sticker. Or maybe itâs a tattoo rather than a sticker?
âSkill Sticker⊠If you put the sticker on your skin, you will be able to use the set skill [Spatial Awareness]. It will become fixed on your skin after about 1 minute. It will come off if a large amount of magical power is applied.â
âSpatial Awareness⊠Perceive the space 2 meters around you.â
Is [Spatial Awareness] able to increase the density of information further and the accuracy is improved compared to [Perception] that I already have? I got it because Iâm stronger in close combat.
I put it on the back of my left hand, waited a minute, and it disappeared like a flash.
I donât feel anything when I touch it. I donât think itâs there, but I wonder if itâs the kind of thing you canât find if you forget where you put it.
And finally. The most problematic one that I tried not to look at. A sword without a scabbard.
âSpirit Sword of the PaladinâŠ? Itâs a holy sword, and adds holy attributes to slashes: it can only be used by those with Sword Proficiency [Sword of Faith].â
âSword of Faith⊠Strengthen the blade with Holy Light: Only available to those with sword skills.â
âBrother, what are we going to do? It came to us like the companion of that staff at that time. If you look closely, youâll also see a flat magic circle on it.â (Haru)
âReally, what are we going to do? Itâs too powerful for us to sell.â (Kei)
âWhat should we do? Donate it?â (Haru)
âTo the Hero Party? It would be bad if we were exposed that we were here.â (Kei)
âYeah, but, huh? Brother, four people are approaching. They seem to be quite cautious. Theyâre coming very slowly.â (Haru)
âOh, so weâll ask them?â (Kei)
âYeah, thatâs the idea.â (Haru)
We smiled wickedly and carefully polished the parts we had touched. I forgot to do this with the wand, but I donât want to get fingerprints on it.
Then, since my right hand was stuck, I held the sword in my left hand and lifted it upward with the tip pointing downward.
â[Power]â (Kei)
Iâm going to use a little bit of magic to give myself a little bit of power.
âUurya!â (Kei)
Clang!
I thrust it into the ground as hard as I could. As a matter of course, the ground of the dungeon was hard, and it was firmly buried as it made the sound of the ground and the sword collide with each other.
âOkay, Haru, can you get it out?â (Kei)
âIâll try it. Hmm, itâs impossible.â (Haru)
Haru grabbed the hilt of the sword and pulled on it, but it wouldnât come off.
It seems that the people who were coming toward us heard the sound of the sword stabbing the ground, and the signs of them coming here are getting faster. Weâll meet them in a dozen seconds.
âThen, do you want to go home?â (Kei)
âYup.â (Haru)
We descended to the tenth level, activating [Stealth] again, and used the transition back.
âBy the way, brother.â (Haru)
âWhat?â (Kei)
âDoes your right arm hurt?â (Haru)
âOh, that reminds me.â (Kei)
Because of the adrenaline, I had forgotten about the pain, but now I remembered it and I went straight to the hospital with tears in my eyes.
More than ten days later, we were standing in the dungeon market with my right arm wrapped in a bandage.
It seems that after we left, the sword was safely found and handed over to the hero. I saw on the internet news that it was handed over to a craftsman who made a scabbard for it.
Then the Dungeon Market.
With the fall of Gan Ceann explorers who were looking forward to being able to use the dungeons resumed their activities at once, and the economy in the market must be running well.
Furthermore, even many magic items, regardless of their strong or weak effects, began to circulate, and there were even auctions being held.
It is still fresh in my mind that an item pouch (very small) that can hold up to 100 kilograms easily exceeded 10 million yen.
Unfortunately, we were not the ones who sold it. We have the (small) and (medium) item pouches, but not the (very small) ones.
However, we have items that we have been collecting for a long time without item pouches. Or rather, I have made them.
This is a sword that was dropped by a unique monster in the 8th layer of the Kizaki family dungeon. Itâs cool, but of course, the material is weak. Thatâs why Haru and I modified it.
Simply put, we used [Alchemy] to combine an axâs skill into a sword. This alone made it very strong. I thought about preparing something else to sell, but I couldnât stand the thought of being spotted, so I left it at that.
Of course, it has the [Strong Slash] skill in it.
When we put it up for auction anonymously, most of the people who tried to buy it couldnât even hold the weapon.
We had forgotten that there was a level requirement for dungeon weapons. In addition, this sword was made from the drop of a Minotaur that even the Hero Party had not beaten, so there was no way an ordinary explorer could carry it.
Will it be sold as it is? Itâs quite expensive but 893 people who seemed to have just come to check some equipment tried to buy it.
Normally, if there is only one buyer, the amount should go down, but 893 people making bids bloated the price to a ridiculous level.
âOh, this weapon has a requirement of level 23. Canât the leader use it?â (Kei)
A level of twenty-three is a high level that high-level explorers can reach by raising a few more levels. If thatâs the case, itâs only natural that they would want to buy one while he can.
From there, it became a bidding war between high-level explorers who were making a lot of money from their daily exploration.
In the end, the price came to about 5 million yen.
After commissions and other fees were deducted, the amount dropped to about 4 million yen, but it could not be helped. I thought it was just the way it was and accepted it.
Now, ordinary citizens like us havenât received any detailed information about the governmentâs response after the subjugation of Gan Ceann. But, well,
âNow that we have a good income, I guess youâre done with your obsession with the Tokyo Dungeon.â (Kei)
âI guess so. Where should we go next? Since we have the money, letâs go to Hokkaido.â (Haru)
âAfter all, it doesnât change much because itâs Japan. For now, I need to heal my right arm and find something to do. I wonât be working part-time for a while.â Â (Kei)
âThatâs right.â (Haru)
While talking about such trivial things, the two of them went around the dungeon market and left without buying anything.
There is no one who knows that the siblings are really the strongest.
Today, the siblings are still pretending to be ordinary people in search of entertainment
