Episode 49 Colleagues (3)
Shiny looks and fine blonde hair.
Height in the mid 160’s and skinny anchovy body.
An 8th class mage who knows how to deal with life and administration magic, several classes of curses, and cold magic.
Lyall Warb Dwalkie.
He was a man who smelled strongly of fake as we talked.
‘Sir, you’re not even a wizard, are you?’
Sudden suspicion came to mind, so I checked this and that, but to my surprise, he was indeed a wizard.
And looking back, I didn’t even lie.
My uncle had only said he was the baroness’s third brother, but he hadn’t said he was an aristocrat.
Well, you probably know the map line.
Impersonating an aristocrat is a serious crime that has no excuse even if it is summarily executed.
“So how is it? Passed?”
After long consideration, the decision was made to include him in the team.
“…From now on, you are our colleague.”
“Haha! It’s good. It’s my first time, so I wanted to join a team with as many warriors as possible.”
A personality full of bravado and bravado.
And those who have not yet had experience exploring the labyrinth.
Although these two parts are flawed…….
Still, aren’t they wizards?
There was no request to increase the distribution, and they said that they would follow the order well in the labyrinth, so it seemed that this was enough to control them.
‘Because all cheap things have a story.’
Besides, if it became known that there was a mage on the team, it was clear that the specs of the applicants would rise even higher.
That’s right, there’s no such thing as a wizard’s personality on paper, right?
“I will contact you again when the rest of my colleagues are saved.”
“Okay. See you then.”
Afterwards, as Dwalkie left, the dwarf, who had been frozen throughout the conversation, let out a long breath.
“Isn’t it amazing? To think that even a wizard and a noble can be so humble…”
I answered with sincerity.
“Hikuro is really great, you are.”
It was 100% pure sincerity.
***
The city life routine after that was simple.
Except for visiting Raven’s lab once a week, I would wake up at 7:00 am, eat some food, and go straight to the library.
“Parsitiev.”
“Then do your best.”
“…….”
I’ve been taking eye prints almost every day for the past two months, but I haven’t had a proper conversation with this female librarian yet.
Growl-!
Usually, if you eat a meal every four hours and read a book, it will be closing time.
But today I pass because I have an appointment.
I was about to leave a little earlier than closing time, but the librarian suddenly spoke to me first.
“I have a question.”
“…what?”
“Why do you always wear armor every time you come to the library?”
Oh, that’s what I was curious about.
I answered honestly.
“What if I leave it at the inn and someone steals it?”
“…if that’s the reason, I understand.”
As soon as the answer is finished, the librarian closes his eyes as if the business is over.
“I thought you were completely indifferent to others, but it seems that’s not the case?”
I felt like I was losing for some reason, so I added a comment, and the librarian put a faint displeasure on his face.
“Complaints keep coming in from other users. I can’t read the book because I’m worried about you.”
“…is that so?”
“Yes. If your business is over here, can you go without disturbing me? Interfering
?
If so, I’d like to say something right away when I go.
I’d like to say something, but it’ll be a headache if I bother you and get banned from entering.
Leave the library as if you’re running away. Headed to the meeting place.
It was a little after 9:00 in the evening.
“Here! Bjorn! Why are you so late today!”
“Sorry, I couldn’t find it because it was too small.”
“Hahaha! More jokes! Come on, sit down!”
The number of times we meet with a dwarf for drinks in the evening has increased. The
number of times is about three or four times a
week .
?”
“He was serious and trustworthy.”
No, not anything like that.
How was your skill?
“Ah! Contrary to what I was worried about, it wasn’t bad. He has had a long career as an explorer, and he seemed to be able to do it well enough in any situation.” ”
I see.”
“…so I’m asking, what do you think?
” The guy’s complexion suddenly brightened .
I wondered what would happen if you said you didn’t like it this time. Isn’t there not much time left now?”
In that sigh, I could feel the grievances of the dwarf who was virtually the pants team leader.
Actually, he did the most hard work. Let’s
praise him and praise him.
Doesn’t it cost money?
“Good job . There were many Hikurod. Also, you are a great team leader. It’s good that I chose you.”
“Hahaha! Is that so?”
“Of course. Is there a team leader who respects the opinions of team members like you? Don’t lose your original intention and just do it like you are now. Then you will be able to become a great team leader unlike the stupid guy who kicked you out.”
“Haha! Will this friend really float? I was worried because it was my first time playing a role like this, but I’m glad you’re here!”
Hearing those words, my heart suddenly jumped.
He was a dwarf who once expressed his discomfort with my frequent interference. But how can he become such a great team leader?
” In that sense, you buy the alcohol today!”
“…again? Didn’t I buy it last time too!” “I repeat
, a great team leader shouldn’t skimp on this!”
“This isn’t me being petty…!”
Exactly one week left until the labyrinth opens.
I will buy it today! Finally, all the team members are gathered, so is the alcohol cost a problem?”
Finally
,
the
team is complete.
First of all, all the team members gather and open their faces. They
discuss what floor to go to, where to go for the main hunting ground, and whether the distribution is fair like an explorer who is the embodiment of money.
After that, if there is no problem, register as a formal team in the guild. In the end, I put my hands and feet together every day to organize an exploration plan, etc.
‘It passed in an instant.’
The busiest week has passed since I woke up in Bjorn Yandel’s body.
Then the long-awaited moment came.
“I entered the
crystal cave on the first floor.
” ! This is a labyrinth!”
Unlike the past days when there were only one or two people, there are five men and women around me, including me.
These are the new team members who will be with us on this journey.
Let me introduce them one by one—
“Reite!”
“Ah! fuck! My eyes! ”
This
blonde Visil’s name, which casts snowfall magic before the eyes adapted,
was Riol Warwwki.
“Dwalky, save your magic power as much as possible.”
”
Hmm, but it’s this dark?”
“It’s very bright in the labyrinth. If it’s really dark, just light a torch.”
“Then I’ll understand.”
It’s a change that happened over time.
The dwarf realized that Dwalki wasn’t a noble and started to treat him comfortably.
And for some reason, they became quite friendly.
The dwarf himself Pretending not to be, but whenever Dwalki Saki does something stupid, it is not a characteristic between the two of them that they take care of each other
. In case someone isn’t a beginner, I’ll put it in my bag.”
“I won’t hesitate to show you your meticulous consideration.”
While the dwarf was taking care of Dwalki as usual,
he heard a cheerful voice in a high tone. “Shouldn’t the team leader move slowly?”
Mischa
Karlstein.
As you can see from the triangular ears growing on top of her head, she is a beastman explorer.
She is 25 years old and has been exploring for 5 years this year. She is
170 years old and has a thin and long body. The arrogant impression is combined to create a cold atmosphere…
“Stop playing around and pretend. I want to quickly knock off the heads of the monsters.”
He has a strange habit of muttering only the pronunciation at the end when he speaks.
Oh,
and one more feature to say,
“Haha! It’s the name of the princess, so what’s the matter!”
“Eee! I didn’t tell you not to call me a princess!”
“Still, you’re the daughter of the chief of the Jeok Myo Tribe, so how could a small person—”
“Killed! You dwarf!”
Mischa Karlstein is the princess of one of the five major tribes, the
Jeokmyo tribe. Was it the 13th or the 15th?
I don’t remember the order in which she appeared in the world.
Anyway , there is no special treatment or need.
It’s just that she’s a princess by comparison, but she’s not a real princess.
Rather, there’s someone else you need to be careful with.
“Stop Murad. Even if it’s a joke, he doesn’t hate it.”
Brown Rottmiller.
Species: Human age is 34.
It’s a 7th grade, but it’s a whopping 8 years of
experience. Shem.
Maybe that’s why even the dwarf takes a step back from his words every time
. I’ll be more careful from now on.”
“Nice dwarf—”
“Miss Karlstein as well. Since Amman is angry, is it possible for him to say to the team leader that he is a bastard and kill him?” ”
…I was wrong.”
Personally, I like it the most among the team members. In
a way, he is the only normal person in this team.
Although there must be a downside that it is difficult to deal with otherwise.
“Can I start soon before the journey to Murad gets too late?” ”
Ah, I beg you
. ” ”
Wait
a minute, wouldn’t it be better for Bjorn or Hikurod to lead the way?” He’s a warrior by name…
” “I need help from the 3rd floor onwards, but until then I’m fine alone.”
To be honest, I don’t know what he’s worried about.
Rotmiller is a professional explorer.
And he’s been living in a labyrinth for 8 years. ‘Although the explorer rating is low compared to the period…’
I rather appreciate that part. In 8 years
,
you must have experienced pretty much everything, but you are still alive with a correct appearance. Not by
force, but by yourself. Using other strengths,
‘I guess that’s why he has a serious and inflexible personality in everything.’
After that, under the guidance of Rotmiller, we proceeded to destroy the monsters that appeared occasionally, and finally reached our destination. The
outermost part of the first floor, commonly called the Dark Zone.
Even though we ran the shortest distance without getting lost, the portal was already opened by another explorer ” As expected,
there were passengers this time too.”
“Don’t beat yourself up. You’ve been good enough.”
“Murad, that’s no reason not to try. If you don’t feel resentment for your own shortcomings, that means your life as an explorer is over.” ”
Is that so?”
By the way, it took about 10 hours to reach this place.
It’s a decent record. We’re not a running team aiming for portal opening experience. To
be honest, I didn’t expect him to be able to find the portal so easily
. .’ While I think
it
‘s okay to look forward to other abilities that I haven’t seen yet
.
Dimensional instability phenomenon.
If you use the method that I called a ‘bug’ for short, it is possible to receive and receive experience points for opening portals unconditionally
. ‘
Let’s save that for later… until a really reliable team is created.
At the same time as he took a deep breath and brushed off his remaining lingering feelings,
the dwarf shouted loudly,
“Then let’s go in!”
The dwarf stepped into the portal first, and I immediately followed
. I wish it wasn’t there…’
I
wonder
if this is too much of a wind?
