Chapter 18 – Skip (Physical)

“Clean!”

As Karla’s brother-in-law resounded, a magic circle surrounded her.

After clearing the traces of love on Karla and me, she took out the clothes she had taken off and threw from her inventory.

“Master, that ability is really convenient.”

“Right? It couldn’t even compare to the subspace bag.”

For example, let’s say you put 10 loaves of bread.

A normal subspace would take up the space of 10 loaves of bread. That’s natural since I put 10 loaves of bread in it.

Inventory, however, is a little different.

Curiously, since the game system was applied, the same object can be stacked up to 999 times.

It is said that you can put up to 999 pieces in the space of one loaf of bread.

Other than that, there is an automatic sorting function, the time of the inserted object stops, and gold can be inserted infinitely, etc.

In many ways, it’s more convenient than a sub-space magic tool.

Excluding the game story, when I explained it properly, Karla, who was changing her clothes, opened her mouth.

“Wow… So, do good things come out in this dungeon too?”

“Well….”

As I already know what the rewards of Geff Dungeon are, I have no choice but to make a subtle expression.

The reward here is a must-have item in the early to mid game, but if you ask if it has performance comparable to the inventory, it is not.

Of course I couldn’t say that, so I just shrugged my shoulders.

“The rewards in the dungeon are very different. In addition, it is a place where even the two of us can clear it if we prepare thoroughly, so there won’t be such a good reward.”

“Um… Is that so….”

Carla licks her lips and expresses regret.

She smiled at the sight and checked her equipment one last time.

If you go out, there will probably be guards surrounding the exit.

It needs some directing.

“Carla. Come and see.”

“Yes? What’s going on, master?”

Similarly, with all her clothes on, Karla, who was checking her accessory-type magic tools for the last time, approached her with a tilt of her head.

She is defenseless like a herbivore who doesn’t know what might happen to her.

While gently stroking Karla’s platinum-colored hair….

“Yap.”

“Huh!”

Suddenly, she messed up Carla’s hair.

“Eight! Eight!”

“Aww! Oh, it hurts, Master!”

There she even pulls her hair halfway through.

Anyone can see that it looks like childish bullying, but what is the reason for me to bully Carla now?

“Why are you doing this, Master… Please don’t bully me… Heeep.”

Well. The reason just came up.

To be honest, Carla, who was trembling as she grabbed her messy hair, was kind of cute.

But this time, I ruined Carla’s hair for a very different reason.

This is a kind of condescension.

The appeal is that while you were fighting the cultists, we didn’t run away in an accident, but we cleared the dungeon through hardships like this.

Originally, if she doesn’t take care of these things, then no one will take care of her.

“Okay? It wasn’t just bullying, it was just necessary.”

Carla reluctantly nodded her head when she explained briefly.

“Ugh… Yes. I understand that.”

“Great. Then let’s tear some clothes.”

“Yes?! Oh no! It’s the first gift the owner bought for me, so how could that be!”

“I’ll buy you something better later. Stay still.”

“Ah… I can’t… I really can’t….”

Carla stands in front of me, shedding tears but not being able to resist.

She looked at it in silence for a moment, then she let out a deep sigh.

“Did you like this outfit that much?”

“Yes… Ha, but both me and this outfit belong to the master after all, so you can do whatever you want… Really….”

Even as she said so, Carla looked down at her own clothes with her lingering eyes.

If Karla was doing this on purpose, she wouldn’t be a fox like her, but… According to what I’ve seen so far, that’s not going to be the case.

It’s just really bad and I don’t know what to do.

“… Should I just put some dirt on it? Now that I think about it, you are a wizard. It’s rather suspicious that you’re wearing torn clothes here and there, like a mage who rolled over in the avant-garde.”

“Really?”

“Uh. So, roll around on the floor over there and come over.”

“Yes! I will, Master!”

Carla jumps excitedly and runs away. She collapsed with a clumsy movement on the ground unaffected by the Prominence Flare, and began staining her clothes.

I can’t stand still either.

In fact, it’s as if Karla cleared it alone… It’s too revealing to be honest.

So I have to push forward with the setting that I fought in the avant-garde while experiencing the aftermath of magic with my body.

In the boss battles, I actually had a hard time.

How many times did he repeat rolling around in the ashes without having to go far, or smearing some soot on his face?

“Master, master! I did as you asked! How about it? Does it look like you’re having a hard time?”

Karla, who had been twisted before she knew it, came back and spun around in her place, she said.

… Why is he so pretty even when he’s twisted?

Recalling the immutable law of the disk in my heart, I got up from my seat.

“That’s fine. Well done. Then do me too.”

“Yes? What? Oh, the owner also looks like someone who just escaped from a fire!”

“No, it’s not that, it’s the foreword.”

Shouldn’t I make my hair dirty, just like I made Karla’s hair scattered?

“The problem is that if I do it myself, the details will be a bit off. Carla, do something for me.”

Saying that and sticking out her head, Carla gasps! She groaned.

“I’ll take your head… ?”

A voice full of anticipation.

Wanting something, she lifted her head, and there was Karla with an excited expression, breathing heavily.

“Ha… Ha….”

“Carla? Can you do that right? I just need to mess with my hair a little bit.”

“By messing with the master?!”

It’s a bit off-putting, but it’s true, so she nodded her head.

“Can you?”

“Yes Yes! Sure! Sure! Don’t worry, I’ll break it properly!”

“…….”

Unstable. Incredibly anxious

But there was no other way, and she shook her head once again, thinking that she would trust and leave the task to the end.

Klopp.

After swallowing her spit once, Karla began to touch my hair with her trembling hands.

Sabujak Sabujak.

Carla’s slender fingers run through her hair, gently tickling her scalp.

I wonder if I was being too cautious, but I could still feel her hair getting tangled.

What. I was worried, but are you doing well?

… Although it bothers me a little that Carla’s breath against her hair is so forceful.

***

Carla and I nodded while looking at each other’s thoroughly calculated squeamishness.

“Great. Shall we leave now?”

“Yes. Master.”

Carla was taken towards the exit portal that was still shimmering in the air.

She briefly told her future work to Carla, who stood in front of him and took a deep breath.

“As soon as you go through the exit portal, the dungeon will disappear and a reward will appear.”

“Yes. Did I mention that it appears in the air in a translucent form?

“Right. No one can touch it except us, the attackers, but the moment we touch it, it takes on substance, so don’t touch it carelessly.”

“Yes? Why?”

“Have you ever heard of a magic tool that hides its owner?”

“Ah… No way?”

“Okay. Sometimes, even among the blessings bestowed by the gods, there are objects that belong to those who hold them first. I need to find out before I touch it.”

“I will never touch you. Listen carefully to that master.”

Carla shook her head as she shook her hand behind her.

You don’t have to worry about touching it in case you don’t know it.

The reason I bothered to bring this up to Karla was simple.

It’s because the rewards of Geff Dungeon are actually bound equipment items.

The first time I cleared it, I thoughtlessly touched it as an archer character, and I still remember how much it was a pity.

I let out a sigh for no reason and grabbed Carla’s arm and dragged her.

“Let’s go.”

“Yes!”

Kara and I simultaneously threw ourselves toward the exit portal.
.

.
.
I only took one step, but my vision changed completely.

Before we knew it, we were in a narrow and dark underpass, not in the open air.

Who are you now! The clichéd reaction of the same guard….

Haha! Do you think the likes of you can touch a single finger on this body!”

Instead of the guards, a guy wearing a black robe was laughing in front of us.

What?

Of course, the guards arrived properly. He’s just making an angry expression on the other side of something like a pitch-black barrier.

So… According to the circumstances, that robed man set up a barrier to block the guards, and when we left the dungeon, we were behind the robed man?

“Just stay there and watch! It seems that the Great Unity does not want me to die herehaha!”

He’s a strangely familiar guy.

That unlucky voice, the tooth marks on the robe, the lines you’ve heard dozens of times….

… A line you’ve heard dozens of times?

As I thought about it, my body moved reflexively.

Ugh-

A strange noise heard as the dungeon disappears. At the same time, I reached out my hand toward the small halo of light that appeared in front of me and Karla.

Tring!

As soon as I held the clear reward in my hand, I pushed the floating system window into a corner of my field of vision and squeezed my hand tightly.

He must have noticed my presence from the noise from before and my sudden movement.

So, before you respond, you have to be careful.

The translucent dagger instantly took shape and spewed out sharp anticipation.

As soon asheheld the dagger in his hand, the characteristics of crude weapon skills were activated, and his body became slightly stronger.

Gathering together a little stronger power than normal people, I threw it at the cultist’s back with all my might.

“What… !”

He was looking back urgently, but… It’s already late.

Poo-wook.

“Ouch….”

A cultist who vomits blood with a leaking sound because his lungs have been pierced.

“Uh, how….”

“I know that?”

He quickly drew his dagger, and this time aimed precisely at the heart and slashed it down.

Hooked!

“Keuk!”

“It’s annoying that the cultists all talk a lot.”

Appearing in an unskippable event cutscene and even having a lot of lines.

Please think of the player’s point of view, who has to hear the same words over and over again.

With the resentment of the time, I cleaned the wounds of the guy in a row.

I’m not dead until the kill notification pops up, so I’ll make sure to deal with it when the opportunity presents itself.

Hooked! Hooked! Hooked!

The guy whose back has become rags in an instant eventually collapses powerlessly.

A swift and quiet death without even leaving a will.

The clear sound of a bell rang in my ears at the same time as I was filled with pride that I had succeeded in skipping (physical) for the first time.

Tring!

======================

【Defeat cult leaders!】

– You have defeated Pietro, Bishop of Cloudy Unity.

– He was not destined to die here. The turbid cause of unity faces great difficulties.

-The turbid unity designates you as a public figure.

-The Righteous Light is very satisfied that it has slain evil with its fangs. Acquire ‘Attribute: Protection of the Sun God (C)’.

======================

It was only when I confirmed that the system had confirmed the boy’s death that I was able to let out the breath I had been holding back.

“Whoa….”

No, why is the tutorial boss here?

I was so surprised that I stabbed him without realizing it.
