I’m unemployed but I’m exploring the dungeon again today – Chapter 36 – Thirty-fifth day

I got a response from a company where I sent my resume.

And of course, I was rejected.

I’d really like to make it to an interview one of these days.

I get working on the resume again, and then, on a whim, I include that I explore the dungeon as a hobby.

It might give the impression that I’m a ruffian, but whatever, let’s put that in there. I’m used to this by now, so it doesn’t take me long, and after looking into who I’m sending it to, I put it in an envelope.

I make a wish that I’m picked, and send it.

◇ ◇ ◇

Tomorrow and the day after that, I’ll explore the dungeon to conquer the twentieth floor.

I have maps, so unless I come across irregular monsters again, I shouldn’t have a problem.

I also need to buy equipment for said exploration.

I buy food and water, and a new helmet in the weapon’s store. I was torn between a kabuto helmet or a full face helmet, but I went with a full one to shield my face.

This isn’t related to my equipment, but I bought cloth and thread too. I want to test that new skill I got last time, Sewing.

I honestly don’t see much point in having this skill, but since I have it, I might as well try it.

I’m taking the day off from the dungeon today…

◇ ◇ ◇

I’m on the eleventh floor.

Just a little. I’ll just mine a little and go back.

I put my hand on the wall and cast Trace, mine iron and magic ore with Earth Magic, and stuff it in my Storage Space.

Then I move and mine again, repeating this until I find a hollow space.

I open a hole and shine a light on it, and find another pupa. I thought it was creepy yesterday, and sealed it with Earth Magic, but what is this all about anyway?

Let’s cut it a little and see.

Inside I see something the shape of a big ant, but with a strangely enlarged stomach.

Could this be a queen? It might be my chance to secure more honey.

Even if it’s not now, the chance to get more ant queen honey makes my mouth water.

I cast Healing Magic on the pupa, close the hole, and leave.

◇ ◇ ◇

After getting home, I test the Sewing skill.

It’s my first production type skill, so I have high expectations, but my grade school level knowledge of sewing means it doesn’t go well.

I guess the skill is meant to assist, and I need to practice to command it well.

And so, I decide to practice from now on as a way to kill time.
