Mikke said, âItâs a really nice cave and even beginners can fully enjoy it.â My father was to be judged in front of the cave.
âWell, youâre not an adventurer, are you?â Huh? Are you sure youâre not an adventurer? â
The vigilante who was investigating my father in front of the cave tilted his neck.
But even if you think so, you canât help it.
After all, my father is wearing a set of adventurer-only gear that is worn by advanced players.
Besides, I can see that it has been used well.
âIâm an ex-adventurer.â Iâm retired now. â
âOh, is that so?â Please put your hands here. â
Father puts his hand on the black ball pointed out by the vigilante.
However, there was no reaction at all.
Seems like thereâs no problem.
I was worried because there was no reaction, but is that good?
âWhat are you looking at?â
Donât you know that your father looks at the black balls with a strange expression?
âI could check if it was stronger than the monsters in the cave.â What a magic item, isnât it? Itâs a rare item that drops in a cave that only the top adventurers can put in. Well, I can only investigate monsters that arenât that strong.
According to the vigilanteâs explanation, both Mr. Arias and Mr. Tanras look at the black balls with interest.
âThis way, please.â
âThank you.â
I was given permission to enter the cave safely, and my father received the permit.
Now we can enjoy the cave as planned.
Anyone who manages a cave in the Okanko Village can enter it at their own risk.
However, there are only five caves for beginners, and they are judged by the vigilante before entering them.
The screening can look to see if someone familiar with the cave is accompanying them.
Even beginners donât know whatâs going to happen in the cave, so itâs a unique Okanko Village rule designed to protect adventurers who arenât used to the cave yet.
This time, I wasnât an adventurer, but my father was judged as an escort.
I thank the vigilante and go into the cave.
Iâve never seen a cave without Shell at the helm.
When I gently stroked the bag that everyone was lifting from my shoulder, the vibration came out.
A smile comes to my mind.
Yesterday, I decided to go to the cave, so I consulted with Sora and the others.
âWhat do we do when we go to the cave?â
Of course, I explained that I couldnât get out of the cave or the bag.
Sora and the others thought for a moment, but they came with us.
Weâre always together, so itâs nice to enjoy the cave on our own.
However, Tron is in his room.
Iâve been asleep all my life and I couldnât confirm my decision, so I canât help it.
Itâs about time I woke up.
âTanras leads and Ariras leads.â Leah, keep an eye out for signs. â
»» Yes »»
Leah, any sign of the monster?
âWell, three in front and two in front.â I wonder if thereâs still some distance left. â
Yes, there were 5 monsters in front of me.
If I were to go deeper into the cave, would I be able to defeat these five?
Arielus, keep an eye out for the monster moving forward, and letâs go deeper.
Arias slowly walked out to the back of the cave, so I followed him.
The monsters that were still ahead werenât aware of our movements, so they didnât move.
That being said, weâre getting close, so youâll soon notice.
This time, Arielus-san changed his name and started with a lower adventurer again.
I felt that it was a waste because my previous record disappeared, but Arielus and the others didnât care at all.
I wanted to do it again because it was a track record I had gained from fighting monsters.
It looks like the monster in front of you is noticing. The three of them are coming this way.
In response to Liliaâs words, Ms. Arielus stood her sword.
The three monsters that appeared were quickly defeated by Mr. Arielus.
Well, thatâs right.
They were low-ranked adventurers because they had abandoned the past, but they were medium-ranked adventurers.
I could easily defeat a novice cave monster.
âArielus, Iâll take care of you next!â
In response to Liliaâs words, Arielus shook his head to the side.
Canât you do that?
âIâm in front of you, so itâll be difficult.â
Of course, the monsters were going to pass by.
If Leah walks in front of you, canât she?
Tanras looks at your father.
âThis level of cave wonât be a problem.â Next, Lilia leads the way, and Arielus is in the middle. â
I switched the order and went deeper into the cave.
After walking for a while, two monsters appeared, but Lilia was able to defeat them without any problems.
Lilia-san was able to fight, too.
Just a little bit. With three of them, it might have been dangerous.
I still envy being able to fight.
I canât do it at all.

âIvy, do you have the items?â
Show your father what you have in your hand.
This is the weapon your father chose for me to use if he wanted to get into the cave.
I canât defeat monsters with my power, so Iâm preparing to use my heavy bags in the woods right away.
However, if you use a heavy bag in the cave, depending on the size of the cave, damage may occur on the side of the cave.
Therefore, it seems better not to use heavy bags in the cave.
Instead of a heavy bag, my dad had a lightning ball in his hand.
I heard that I couldnât defeat a large monster, but I could defeat a smaller medium-sized monster.
âBe careful when you throw.â
âYeah. Okay.â
If you bump into someone by mistake, itâll be tough.
People donât seem to die like monsters because they wear armor, but it still hurts if a lightning strike runs on their bodies.
Itâs a split road, but which way do you want to go?
When I turned my attention to Ars-sanâs voice, the road was divided from side to side.
âWhere do you want to go?â
Your father looks at Arias and the others.
âThatâs right. If you pick from the signs of the monsters, I think the right is safe.â On the left, thereâs a sign of a monster. â
Certainly, there were several monsters at the end of the road on the left.
But I donât know whatâs going on in the back, so I donât think Iâll be safe on the right.
âIf you go from here, youâll be safer on the right.â However, there may be monsters stronger than the left where we donât know the signs. â
I knew it.
âIn this case, choose the path you care about.â
Huh?
Who cares?
Arielus and the others were surprised by your explanation.
âSurveillance and luck are important in the cave.â Itâs a waste of time, to be honest, to imagine whatâs in the back of the road. If I donât go, I wonât know. â
Of course, itâs no use thinking about it here.
âWhen this happens, I think itâs good to trust my own ideas.â What do we do? â
Your father looks at Arias and the others.
The three nodded face to face, pointing in the same direction.
âArielus is on the right, and Tanras and Leah are on the left.â Letâs go to the left. â
In response to your fatherâs words, Arielus looks at Tanlas and Lilia with a little bit of displeasure.
Why did you choose the one with the monsters?
I knew there were multiple monsters on the left.
âAfter all, the monster on the left can definitely be defeated.â I donât know whatâs coming out, but donât you think itâs safer to know whatâs coming out than to know whatâs on the right? â
I see, is there such a way of thinking?
In response to Liliaâs words, Arielus nodded with some thought.
Sure is.
âWell, after that, thereâs a great chance that a monster will appear⊠I wonder if thereâs one in this cave?â Itâs a cave for beginners, isnât it? â
By the way, this was a beginnerâs cave.
There were only monsters that could be defeated by lower-ranked adventurers.
âThatâs right. However, there was a cave where strong monsters appeared suddenly.â âBrace yourselves.â
Everyone nodded to his words, and Mr. Arias led the way on the left.
The sign showed that the monster on the left would move immediately.
Speaking of which, these monsters are supposed to drop little magic stones.
I havenât seen it yet, but could you drop it for me next time?
