Chapter 69: Exploration Dungeon (3) (2)

It was because the scene from the promotion came to mind. The child in a small room being protected by a woman before being dragged away by that guy. The child also had black hair and black eyes.

When I first talked to you, I found it interesting. Ive never seen someone that looked like that kid before. His name

Dont say it.

What?

Shut up.

Its not a particularly special name

I looked down at the boy.

He shrunk back and nodded his head.

Not yet.

There was still more to think about.

I didnt want to add another thing to ponder.

Wheres the jeweler?

I continued walking and asked.

The boy, who had been stiff, suddenly smiled and began to guide me.

It might be free, but it wasnt actually free. I could tell from the boys babbling.

Where did you get that ancient coin? I heard they only come from high-level dungeons.

Hyung, are you a dungeon hunter? A really strong one, I can tell just by looking. You wouldnt casually toss around treasures like that, if you werent, right?

You didnt know much about the rumors because youve been in dungeons for a long time?

I cleanly ignored the boys question.

Exchanging the coins for a large number of smaller coins at the jeweler. The owner seemed stubborn and reliable. He didnt seem like hed trick me.

Where can I buy things from the dungeon?

Dungeon loot is handled by the Mercenary Association. If you just asked me, but youre a hunter why would

Are you an idiot? If I were a hunter, would I be asking you about the dungeon?

But

The boy had a desperate expression for some reason.

Guide me.

On the second floor of the Mercenary Association, there was a display counter for handling dungeon loot.

The core item, Advent Stone, was not being handled, but various other items were being sold. The staff mentioned that they were selling various high-class magical artifacts mined from the dungeon.

I reunited with Jenna there.

Oh, oppa. You came alone.

Coming here meant that she had grasped the existence of the dungeon.

As always, shes quick-witted.

What about that bow?

I asked.

Jenna was holding a large bow in her hand.

The bow, decorated with gold and silver, looked luxurious at a glance.

You said I needed a longbow before, oppa. The shopkeeper recommended it, so I picked it. Its said to be magically enhanced, and it looks good, right? You can buy it for two gold coins.

Appraise.

[Glorious Longbow]

[Grade: D-]

[Magic!]

[It looks luxurious, but its not very practical as a longbow.]

[Note Magic for Reinforcing Durability is applied.]

The grade is D minus.

You could somehow use it, but with that grade, it was worse than the shortbow I gave her as a gift.

Its trash.

But it has magic on it. And I didnt find anything else to spend the money.

Use that money to buy something more valuable.

I pointed to various cheap-looking stones displayed in a corner of the sales counter.

It seemed like they were trying to clear their inventory as no one was buying them. Jennas eyes sparkled.

Thats Attribute Stones!

Master would probably like it if you brought it. Its a material for promotion stones.

Is that so? Then what about this bow

Get rid of it.

Other items caught my eye besides lower-grade Attribute Stones.

One item of note was the Regen Stone. The Regen Stone allowed you to experience the closed boss stage due to a clear, and although you couldnt gain experience points, you could receive mission experience to pass on to heroes.

Items like these didnt come out often, so it was lucky that a few were visible.

It would be very useful for the new heroes joining parties 1 and 2. I picked it up. I took some of Jennas money to cover the shortage.

Whos this kid?

As we finished shopping and came out, Jenna made a gesture.

A boy was coming awkwardly from inside, looking at Jenna.

I dont know, hes a stranger.

I-Im not a stranger! Im this persons exclusive guide. My name is Yoshu.

Okay, by then.

Id asked all the questions I needed to.

It was already getting late. I intended to stay at an inn like this. And tomorrow, I had to keep my promise and have fun with Jenna.

I

Do you owe someone money?

Hyung, listen to me! I have a secretive investment plan

Annoying.

I could scare him away, but it wouldnt work.

I threw a gold coin I received from Jenna to Yoshu.

Uh, thats

With this, only one coin is left.

Well, yes.

With one gold coin, as long as I didnt use it in a weird place, it was enough to have fun and eat.

Yoshu hesitated but accepted the gold coin.

Thank you, Hyung! Noona!

He was just a kid, if he was trying to stab me in the back, I wouldnt have tolerated him.

Though it didnt feel like much, it was a reward for guiding sincerely.

This should be enough

This should be enough?

I guess I can take care of my debt now! Thank you for the investment!

I chuckled and said.

Investment, huh? Trying to start a business?

The details are a secret, investor! I cant tell you because its something that cant be known. But Ill definitely repay the favor. I swear!

You dont need to. Im not worth much to you.

No, I cant live with debts. If theres something you want, please let me know. Ah, and first, I need the name of the patron

There wasnt much to expect.

After thinking about it for a while, I spoke up.

If you get the chance, help that witch.

What?

Yoshus eyes widened.

I smiled briefly and said.

Help her if the opportunity arises. Thats all.

I turned around and walked away, leaving Yoshu standing there.

Jenna followed suit and said.

What were you talking about earlier? Who is the witch?

Its that kid we saved. Thats her.

We exchanged various conversations as we headed towards the inn.

Come to think of it, wheres Aaron?

I thought hed be with Jenna.

When I asked, Jenna said he had gone out to find a place on his own.

I nodded.

He probably went to do some training.

When we would return to the waiting room, Party 1s break time would be over.

In addition, the final member of the party would be decided. Either Velkist or Neryssa was the most likely. Or perhaps both.

I looked back.

I saw Yoshu looking around in the distance on the street.

It was the same place as before, where I had to go to obtain the Advent Stone.

I continued walking.
