I tell everyone the effect of the teleport jewel, and they’re all speechless. Aira is the first to break the silence.
“Master.”
“Yes?”
“It says it’s one of the hidden treasures, which implies there are more. However, I am not aware of the existence of such items.”
“Yes.”
“However, the monster you faced was called a god, and I have seen another such being. It was too strong for even Miss Sakuya’s unit, which forced a retreat.”
“Eh… Can’t wait.”
“…Fufu, I believed you would say that. But the teleport orb… The description leads me to believe it is reliant on the user.”
“It sounds important for when we come back from deep dungeons.”
“I believe the cooldown time being listed is more important. Many items with this high level of performance have limited uses, but that does not seem to be the case with this. If the existence of this item was known, top teams and even countries would rush to you.”
Hm… So she says, but I can’t really imagine it.
The effect is great, but also limited to the dungeon. Compared to something like her bag, which can be used everywhere, it clearly falls short.
“In any case, I’m glad it doesn’t work on just one person. If everyone can use it, let’s make use of it.”
“So, right after you get the key, darling?”
“That’s the idea.”
“I can’t wait!”
‘Gogo!’
‘Popopo.’
‘Pururu.’
I look at them being happy, and Maki speaks up like she was thinking about something.
“Shouta, this item…”
“Hn? Yes, I’ll report it to my mother-in-law.”
“Eh?”
“Oh?”
That’s not the reaction I expected.
I thought that was what she was thinking.
“Hum, this is too impactful to tell people without careful consideration…”
“Well, it is what it is, but I think I should tell someone I trust. Sharing the responsibility, you know? And we reported the drawstring purse from the last unique monster, so we can’t tell her a higher rank monster didn’t drop anything, considering my Luck… What do you think, Aki?”
“I support your way of thinking and Maki’s worry. But… Maki, remember what Sakuya said before?”
“…Yes.”
Hn? What?
“We’re way stronger compared to back then. We have the free time too, but I think we could go against mid rank adventurers.”
“You’re right.”
“And since we’re stickin’ with Shouta, I’m sure we’ll get opportunities to get even stronger. We just need to keep trying hard so we don’t hold him back if that time comes.”
“Yes… I will do my best too!”
“That’s the spirit!”
“Hum… What are you talking about?”
I’m not following this…
“Hn. Well, to put it simply, we started talking about going with you on adventures because Sakuya gave us a push.”
“I see?”
I don’t really get it, but if it’s about when they became more proactive about raising their levels, that’s good, right? I can’t dig too deep if they’re not telling me details, but… I guess Sakuya did more for them than I thought. I really should get her something.
Still, thinking about telling her about the teleport jewel sends a chill down my spine.
“So should I tell my mother-in-law?”
“Yes.”
“Go for it.”
“Then let’s go get the key then,”
We head straight to the cave.
As we take down forest bears along the way, something pops into my head.
“Forest bear’s skills…”
“Great Strength, Fast Run, Iron Wall. Two hundred six of each.”
“Uge…”
“Please sort it out when we get back.”
“…Yes…”
We keep going down, as I feel a little dejected about the work ahead of me. The cave is where it was before, and the moment we approach, there’s no forest where it feels there would be.
This is the same strange phenomenon as before, but we won’t understand it even if we think about it here, so we just head towards the altar.
We walk for ten minutes, not carefully like last time.
“Aira, please go ahead.”
“Very well.”
Aira presents the cup to the snake relief, and I take off the gauntlets and gaiters to present to the altar. As before, the snake relief shoots a beam of light, and not long after, so do the boar and bear reliefs.
The light lands on the pedestal in the center.
“Will a treasure chest appear?”
“It would be bad if it didn’t.”
As Aki says that, the light stops shining on the pedestal, and a treasure chest silently appears.
“Uwah, it just appeared.”
Speak of the devil…”
“And the items look fine.”
“…Won’t they disappear when we take the key?”
“If you’re unsure, try it.”
Says Aki as she takes the cup, but nothing happens.
“See, it’s fine.”
“Hou… That’s nice, it’d be annoying if the two pieces of armor disappeared.”
“Darling, try investigating the treasure chest.”
“Yes. True Appraisal.”
Name: 525-3
Description: ??? placed on the second floor of the 810 dungeon. Offer the appropriate false image
“Same as always. And there are three reliefs on the treasure chest too.”
I touch it, and the lock shines and disappears. And the light locked inside jumps into me.

There it is.
“So it’s not like you just need trophies everywhere, right?”
“Unlike before, this time it’s like a two factor authentication. I don’t think I just have to press it.”
“But it feels rewarding to you, right?”
“Ah, you can feel that?”
“Of course. We’ve been together for a while.”
“Hahaha, let’s try the teleport jewel then.”
“You haven’t rolled the gacha yet…”
“Well, I’m thinking of taking another break before going to the fifth floor. I want to keep my stats if I can.”
I feel like every time SUR stat boosting items come out, three stats jump three hundred points like it’s nothing. Since I have to train to raise the limit of the power I can reliably use, the higher it is, the harder the training will be.
I need to make sure my body can keep up, if I’m going to fight strong enemies.
“Are we traveling?”
“Where are we going this time?”
“I’ll leave that up to you.”
“Let’s talk about it when we go back!”
“But let’s report first.”
‘Gogoh.’
‘Popo~.’
‘Purupuru.’
“Everyone gather.”
Enki turns into its fifty centimeter form and jumps into my arms, Enril lands on my shoulder, and Iris sits on my head. The girls hold me from the sides, and I activate the teleport jewel.
‘Detecting user’s dungeon conquering information.’
‘Detecting Automatic Mapping skill.’
‘Will you link the skills?’
Yes and no boxes appear in front of me. I didn’t expect it to synergize with the mapping skill.
“Yes.”
‘Linking complete.’
‘Please pick a destination.’
I see panels with the third floor’s map, along with the first, second, and fourth. I haven’t been to the fifth yet, so I can’t pick it, but… I can see information in real time if I tap the maps.
Positions of people, monsters, treasure chests, and rare monsters. I could only see one floor at a time, so this is great!
And it looks like everyone can see this.
“So this is your map…!”
“Awesome!!”
“Incredible!”
“You saw such detailed maps…!”
Isn’t this actually better than the teleporting feature?
Anyway, if we keep staring at this, we’ll run out of time and have to wait seventy-two hours, so let’s look for an area on the first floor with no people.
And that happens to be the Hobgoblin spawn point near the entrance.
I touch the map, and we’re instantly taken to another floor.

Thanks.
