Chapter 26 – Preparation For Departure
Going back through the boss room to the next room, we found a treasure chest, as expected. I put my hand on it, my chest swelling with anticipation.
「I hope there’s something good in it.」 「This is my first time seeing a dungeon’s treasure chest.」
Lusha was staring at the treasure chest with excitement on her face.
Well, it’s her first time, of course. In that case, I hope it’s a great treasure that suits this level of tension. I opened it with that in mind, and the contents were far more luxurious than the last treasure chest.
Both of us voiced our admiration upon seeing what was inside.
First of all, money. There were a lot of sparkling coins, and when I counted it up, there was a total of 500,000 Lotto. With this much, travel expenses to the Demon Continent might not be a problem at all.
Next came the magic stones, two large ones. I decided Lusha and I would split them between us.
Finally, a “Skill Acquisition Book”. The one I got before was light brown, but this time it’s light green, so it should be of slightly better quality and have more advanced skills than the previous one.
Suddenly, I realized Lusha never used skills at all. No, she used her arrow-making skill a lot, but that’s not the same.
「Hey, Lusha. What skills do you have?」 「Uh, mm, only that arrow-making skill…」 「Ah… I see.」 「Aw, don’t make fun of me! It can’t be helped, I couldn’t get any more from dungeons with my current ability.」
I nodded at Lusha’s explanation. Certainly, I could see that diving into a dungeon and getting a skill acquisition book was not an easy thing, especially given her current ability and her old party’s behavior.
Therefore, I handed the skill acquisition book to Lusha.
「Huh?」 「Maybe you can learn a strong attack skill with it, right?」
When I said that with a smile, Lusha just puffed out her cheeks.
「No! I won’t! Hiroki is a vanguard, so it’s better for you to gain skills first or I won’t be able to stay calm!」
