Chapter 36 – Dungeons

The next day.

Is it true that you come to the guild in the morning? No one appeared to be Copson. 이 개새끼 같으니라고. However, Meria came first and was waiting, and she was sitting in her chair, dozing languidly in the sunlight.

“Hey. I’m here.”
“…Uh. You’re here.”
“I don’t think Copson’s friend didn’t come because I couldn’t reach him.”
“I can’t help it. I have no choice but to save someone else.”
“Still, in case you don’t know, let’s wait a minute.”
“Okay.”

What’s the point of waiting for Copson, so I ordered two beers. The adventurer’s guild often sells alcohol to unemployed people looking for work, or to sincere adventurers who have returned after completing a quest.

“Drink.”

The beer that came in a glass that wasn’t that big was 1 cooper per glass. Looking at the size alone, Changryeol hurts my heart, but since I wasn’t young enough to whine about the expensive ramen at the PC room, I handed Meria a beer without hesitation.

“Wow, are you buying it? Thank you!”

Meria’s expressionless face, probably sleepy the whole time, instantly turned bright. There is no one who dislikes drinking among people of this era. Not only in a particular era, there was probably no one in the world who disliked kongsul.

“I’m making you wait. I’d rather buy you a drink.”
“I’ll drink well.”

More than anything else, it’s my will to make people wait, so if I don’t do something like this, I feel more uncomfortable.

“You are very considerate, you.”
“It’s a basic requirement as a human being.”

I toasted Meria and drank beer. The taste of the beer didn’t seem to be much different from that on Earth. Since people’s tastes are all there and there, will it eventually converge with this taste? After drinking it all, I feel a little disappointed with one drink.

“I’ll buy you just one more drink.”
“Thank you!”

Anyway, I unintentionally drank with her from the morning. When alcohol goes in, the story naturally opens up. Meria asked if I had any stories or information related to the dungeon.

“Well, it’s not like I haven’t been to a dungeon.”

What should I talk about… Yes, I’d rather have a story about going to the Kobold Dungeon. That’s the story of when I was still an F-class adventurer in the days of dog shit and human waste. Looking at the timeline, it seems like it’s been over a year, maybe less than two years…

“Then, since you told me about the Ossuary Palace yesterday, I’ll tell you about the dungeon I went to.”

I still remember vividly the memories I almost lost at that time.

If you stretch out your hand and reminisce, it will be vague as if you can touch it.

“I don’t know where to start… When I was a child, I went into a kobold’s den and almost ran into it. Kobolds are rat-like monsters that live in underground burrows like ants… You know this? Krasheim a few years ago. A colossal kobold den was discovered nearby. It was designated as a dungeon right away, and many adventurers flocked there. Kobolds have a habit of collecting all the ‘obstacles’ that came out while digging a burrow in one room So to speak Should I say it’s a room where garbage is collected It’s trash to them, but to people it’s like a treasure trove Well, there was a rumor once that things like mana stones and mana stones were often found. Poor.”
“So? So you went looking for something like that too?”

Meria asked with an interested expression.

“That’s right… But my goal wasn’t like that. At the time, I didn’t know what to do. I just created a dungeon, and it makes money. So people gather. In this way, I’m an F-class adventurer like a friend I’ve been seeing quite a bit. I made a party with my colleagues and headed to the dungeon. Our goal was not grandiose. Let’s just earn a few days’ worth of wages. It’s good to go in and earn 10 copper per person and come out. It would be nice to pick up what others spilled. I mean, it was scary to be honest, but I wasn’t too scared because I had a lot of hair. Rather, I was excited.”

Who knew that this would be the reason I became a friendless brat. Kobolds were a representative example of an opponent who had been defeated several times with the strength of an F-class adventurer, so we underestimated them.

“Yes and…”
“Howdy.”

As I tried to open my mouth again, I heard a familiar voice behind me.

“Are you drinking in broad daylight? Such a barbarian shack.
“…They weren’t two people with the same name.”

Sure enough, it was Copson who appeared with a strangely high tension. A fellow E-rank adventurer with blonde hair tied back and a lot of freckles on his face. Last seen was hunting cockatrice.

“What, so how did it go?”
“Oh, wait, I’ll talk to you later.”

Copson looked puzzled when he saw that my drinking partner was a woman. I invited him to sit next to me.

“Sit down for now. It’s been a while. Seeing how you look, you seem to be doing well.”
“Why does Barbarian Shack change women every time he sees him? You bastard like a wild horse. As expected of a barbarian, he seems to have no restraint.”

I lightly ignored Copson’s bullshit and got to the point.

“Stop talking nonsense… Hey, Copson. I’m having a dungeon exploration party with that woman. How about you? Are you coming along?”
“If you buy me a drink, I’ll join you.”
“Goodbye. See you next time.”

I don’t know anything else, but a Dutch page with men, a slut. I waved his hand his, trying to get Copson back to the right place.

“He’s a heartless guy. Well, that’s good. The purpose of coming to this city in the first place was the dungeon. Let’s go together.”
“Okay, then let’s register for a party.”

Now that Copson has joined, it would be nice to find a suitable cleric and recruit him. In most dungeons, it can be said that a cleric capable of first aid is essential. And since it is dark inside, the help of divine spells will also be great.

“Meria. This friend is the guy I talked about called Copson. Is the equipment in good condition? It looks a bit like a reliable guy, so there shouldn’t be any problems.”
“Yes, it seems so. Mr. Copson? My name is Meria. Please take good care of me.”
“The barbarian guy was causing trouble. I hope you take good care of me too.”
“Don’t lower your voice, you bastard.”

Ended Copson’s party participation affiliation. Then, we might have some time today, let’s go find a priest to recruit into the party.

“Is there a church around here?”

But I don’t know about Krasheim, my nawabari, but this is Isvant. I don’t know which church is where. At least she asked while looking at Meria, who had been living here for a long time.

“Hmm. As far as I know, Salvation Heavenly Church, Requiem Remembrance Bridge… Brass Castle Angel Society, Cheondohoe? That much? There might be more, but I’m not sure about that.”

The nearby churches that Meria knows are the [Salvation Heaven Church], [Requiem Remembrance Church], [Brass Holy Angel Society], And [Cheongdohoe].

Just hearing the name, what kind of fuck is this a pseudo-religion stuck in a neighborhood? There was nothing that came to mind except for the sentiment, but the different world adopted a polytheistic worldview, so it was a natural phenomenon because there were many gods and various beliefs.

I’m not sure because each church has a different representative authority (because the deity worshiped is different), but I think you’ll need help from locals or religious people to get a proper explanation. However, neither Copson nor Meria were natives of Isvant, so they didn’t know much about it.

The priests of the Brass Holy Angel Society, who attended the last sermon, can use heels… But what about the rest?

“First of all, if you want to go to a dungeon, you need a priest who can use heel. Copson. Are there any of those churches mentioned?”
“I know because I worked with the apprentice priest of the Church of Salvation, but I can use heels. I didn’t write well, maybe I was mean.”
“Okay?”

Then you’d better find one of them first.
As we were debating on which church to go to first after deciding on a policy like that, we heard the sound of the adventurer’s guild door opening.

—Jeolgeureok, Jeolgeureuk.

Is the level of equipment good? A pleasant sound unique to iron equipment resonated, so I turned around looking for someone else.

“Well?”

It was a short nun. She wore a bluish nun’s uniform and an iron suit. The sound seemed to come from there. Looking at it, she it was wearing a nice cross necklace that radiated light … Was it the Kwangmyeong Star Cross Society? Perhaps it was their symbol.

The place where only violent and psycho-like guys are gathered. Suddenly, the color of the nun’s hair caught her eye in her. It was a bright, shiny red hair, as if her ruby ​​had melted.

Uh, wait a minute.

Suddenly, someone came to mind.

“Ah, aren’t you Katt-sama?”
“Sister Elise?”
“Nice to meet you. Long time no see. How have you been?”

Elise greeted me with an expressionless face.

I greeted him with a puzzled face. What is this What kind of family reunion is this? Not much has changed in her appearance since I’ve seen her in a long time, but her equipment level her seems to have leveled up even more.

Did she change her job from a low-level nun to an intermediate-level nun?

“I made good use of the giant spider shell you gave me as a gift the other day.”
“Oh, is that so?Hehe, that’s a relief.”

Come to think of it, she probably gave me something like that to swap shit with when we parted. Meria and Copson asked if they knew each other. I waved my hand quietly, indicating that I would explain a little later.

“But… Sister Elise, what did you come to Isvant for?”
“Ah, a mission has come down from the church. We’ve been sent to investigate it.”

This special forces nun seemed to have a lot to do.

“Haha, like the kobold idol from last time?
“Yes. Actually, circumstantial evidence has been found that there was an ominous connection between it and the Kobold Sanctuary in the dungeon named Ossuary. I was dispatched to investigate.”

Isn’t the ossuary palace the dungeon we wanted to go to?

In this unexpected opportunity, I felt a windfall. If you trick Elise well, she might be able to explore the dungeon with her. Her superhuman ability was a guarantee check because I had never seen her before.

“It would be impossible to investigate alone, so I visited the Adventurer’s Guild to gather friends… Excuse me, but is Katt-sama doing anything else? How are you feeling?”

Elise said so to me. I called her in her serious voice her.

“Sister Elise.”
“Yes?”
“We were just in the process of making a party to explore the ossuary. If it’s okay, I’d rather ask if we could go together. This, we thought.”

Elise and my gaze crossed.

“I will leave it up to you.”
“It’s me. I can’t explain this other than that there’s a big relationship between me and the nun.”

We faced each other and shook hands.
