After I wake up, Mia is now friends with Eliana too for some reason.
Speaking of Eliana, she asked me out of the blue if I ever cast Appraisal on Mia before she was possessed by Elizabeth. And when I said yes, she started rapid firing questions at me.
Then she looked a little serious, but in the end, whispered in my ear that her race changed to ‘godlike’.
Name – (Mia) / Job – Saint / Level – (100) / Race – (Human) / Condition – (—)
“It just says human.”
“I used my power to make it so you can’t see it even with Appraisal~. I’ll unravel it a little, so check it now~.”
So I cast Appraisal again, and now it shows her race as ‘godlike’.
“My power isn’t perfect~. There might be ones who can see through it, so be careful~.”
Eliana emphasizes that, and I assume she’s saying we really have to look after Mia.
Then everyone helps me with breakfast, and after we’re done eating, we start talking about going back. But Eliana stops us.
And I see her signal to Chris and Mia with her eyes…
“Sora, we have to talk.”
Says Chris.
“It might be a little long…”
She prefaces, so I sit down and listen.
She’s asking me… If I can join her in conquering dungeons.
Eliana cuts in here and there to add things to her explanation, but I am well aware of how important this is.
“I want to help Chris. What about you, Sora?”
Asks Mia, and I don’t hesitate.
“I’ll help too. Kuh… We left Majolica’s dungeon halfway through, but I’m also curious about what’s at the bottom. And there are dungeons in different countries, right? It’s not a bad idea to travel as we go through each dungeon.”
There’s a reason why I’m answering such a serious question so lightly. It’s so Chris and Mia don’t feel like they owe me anything.
When Eliana was whispering to me, she actually told me that Chris was very worried about it too.
I was going to say that if it was for Chris… But it’s not like I quickly came up with another reason. I was just too embarrassed to say it, and it might have made Chris even more concerned.
“If master’s going, I’m going.”
“Me too. Now it’s my turn to help you, Chris.”
“I’m going too. I’d be worried if it was just you two.”
Once I agree, Hikari, Sera, and Rurika also raise their voices.
Rurika sounded like she wasn’t really being honest about how she feels, but Chris looked happiest when she heard her.
Those two traveled together for a long time.
“All right then~. I have nothing left to give you~.”
And with that, we leave the dungeon.
◇ ◇ ◇
“Did that really…”
After leaving the dungeon, Yuini and the others are surprised to hear about Eliana being on its last floor.
I guess Alzahak never told them.
“So now you’re going to explore dungeons.”
“That’s the idea. But I have one thing to ask. Is it possible to buy a house?”
“A house? You can stay here if what you want is a place to stay.”
Says Yuini, and Sirk vigorously nods.
We might need to talk to Eliana about dungeons, so I’d like to have a base in Altair where I can Transfer to. But I can’t just leave a magic item in the castle. Even I know that.
“No, in town.”
I tell them about the Transfer skill.
It should be a secret, but I’m sure they would realize something was up anyway when we suddenly showed up here, considering we normally have to come here by boat.
“Then I will look for an empty house. But…”
“It can be in Marte too, if there isn’t one here.”
That’s possible, because there isn’t a lot of land in Altair to begin with, and their population increased by taking in former slaves from other countries.
Most of them decided to stay in Altair too.
But since the Kingdom of Elesya, that treated slaves poorly, is changing, and the empire looks to be collapsing, I think their population is going to start going down.
Once we’re done talking, we rest here in the castle.
By the time I wake up, they already found a house, and we’re taken there by Yuini.
It’s weird to me that she’s going out of her way to do this, but apparently she just wants to leave the castle and walk around town once in a while. But of course, the captain of the royal guard is coming with her, just in case.
Then we spend the day cleaning the house, leave the magic item the next day, and contact Suiren before using Transfer to travel to Eril.

Thanks for the treat.
