What’s left now is the three golden treasure chests…
“They all look the same.”
“Darling, can you see which ones came from Lamia with True Appraisal?”
“Yes, the one in the middle is from the powered up one.”
“…They all look the same to me.”
Says Aki.
“Normal Appraisal doesn’t say what monsters dropped treasure chests. This is why auctions disregard their contents and only make decisions based on their outward appearance.”
“I see.”
True Appraisal users are rare, so it’s hard to create a profession like an appraiser.
As I think that, I open the chests on the left and right. And sure enough… It’s underwear.
“…Don’t you think it’s ’cause Shota’s a pervert?”
I can’t say it’s not, but you have no evidence to back that up.
“There’s information about Lamias in other dungeons, but no information about treasure chests…”
“I think darling is still fine that way!”
“When we get two more tomorrow, how about we have someone other than master open one? If the same comes out, then there will be a good chance that the contents are decided when it drops, and we will have proven master’s innocence.”
“…Eh? Underwear coming out of a treasure chest is a crime?”
“I guess we won’t need more. And it’s not like skills will come out.”
“It’s a good idea. Who will open it?”
“Hey, is it a crime!?”
“You’re in the clear with me, darling!!”
“…”
It doesn’t look like anyone’s coming to back me up, other than Ayane, so I try to escape this by opening the final treasure chest.
It opens with no resistance… And it contains a sake cup without a single ornament.
“What is this?”
Grade: Legacy
Classification: Artifact
Description: Alcohol poured into it, including ethanol, has its taste boosted by one degree.
“…Ah?”
The masterpiece that comes out immediately brings me back to reality. The effect is very clear, but this is clearly not something that should simply come out of a treasure chest.
Or did it just clear my mind?
I think about nonsense as everyone else peeks with curious looks.
“What is this, a cup?”
“It looks so plain.”
“It’s pretty simple… But Appraisal doesn’t even tell me what it’s called.”
“Shouta, what effect does it have?”
“Hmph.”
I remember being left out before and turn away.
“Come on, it was a joke.”
“I’m sorry Shouta, we played around too much.”
Aki and Maki pamper me from both sides, and I forgive them immediately. I’m so soft…
I tell them the effect, and we decide to share this item. Well, there are limits to its users.
In the end, only Aira uses that underwear today, and the effect…
I took off the charm resistance ring, but still, Libido Boost LvMAX, Charm, Seduce, plus Aira, is a bad combo. Self Control doesn’t do a whole lot.
Yep.
◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇
The next day, we spend the whole day conquering the snake area. All the unexplored parts of the map are filled. I take down seven Orochi, two Lamia, and an additional two powered up Orochi.
As Aki predicted, I get pretty bogged down in it. Yesterday I got three Lamia in a row, but today the first five were duds. Maybe I was too lucky yesterday.
If this happens even with this much Luck, does the rare II of the third floor just demand too much?
But as stated before, conquering the snake area gives me just enough to Charge the level energy.
I want to check the changes in a safe area if possible, but like yesterday, we’re in the living room squaring the skills.
Earth-Shaking: 7
Earth-Shaking II: 1
Water Current Control Lv1: 7
Water Current Control Lv3: 1
Wind Magic Lv3: 2
Water Magic Lv4: 2
Earth Magic Lv4: 2
Wisdom of Sorcery: 2
Magic Energy Recovery Lv2: 2
Alcohol Tolerance Lv2: 1
Aira takes one Water Current Control Lv3 and one Water Magic Lv4.
Aki takes one Water Magic Lv4 and one Water Current Control Lv3.
Enki takes the Earth-Shaking I already had plus one more, and I compress it into Earth-Shaking III.
Enril takes Wind Magic Lv3, turning it into Wind Magic LvMAX.
…That about does it.
I have ten Water Current Control Lv1, and I compress it into Muddy Stream Lv1. I give the rest to Aira and Aki, with underwater fighting in mind.
As before, I keep Magic energy Recovery. I have three extra Earth-Shaking, so these will go up for auction. The footage of the third floor showed Enki using it, so it’s more popular now and I’m sure it will sell.
Then I have one Wind Magic Lv3 and two Earth Magic Lv4. Like Wisdom of Sorcery, I don’t have a use for them, so I’m going to keep them. And I’m going to keep Alcohol Tolerance Lv2 for now.
Let’s check everyone’s skills while we’re at it.
Ayane.
