With a small number of spokespersons, we returned to St. Goddard's Orphanage.

Even though she was holding something muddy, Shivira, who was a bad liar, was in a bad mood first and called out to Janet.

It was so quick to get back on your feet.

Isn't it more meaningful for me to stay here and watch Janet practice?

I really don't think so after seeing that dungeon.

In the meantime, can I talk to you in your room?

“Yes! Of course I want to share the information, and I want to explain it to Rachel and Emmy.”

Sybila turns back to us.

I sighed, and Emmy laughed bitterly.

Then Shivira started walking towards the room, and Janet came to us on the way in.

"Welcome back, you're tired."

"Oh, but right now..."

"I'm not tired..."

Even if you say you are tired, you will feel a subtle feeling without a real feeling.

I know there's something going on, but I'll tell you about it, too.

"That's not funny."

"That's an interesting story, I'm really looking forward to it."

Strangely speaking, Janet walked out after Shivira as she narrowed the corner of her mouth.

... is that what it is?

I shrugged my shoulders with Amy and I followed them.

"First of all, if I explain to Janet what happened to me today--"

Everyone gathered in the room and Shivira started talking in the dungeon.

Admission checks for the upper and middle floors.

Slime, giant slime, poison slime.

Entry to the lower level is prohibited.

Simply put, this is what happens.

I mean, we were just beating the slime all the time.

"Forget it, I'm more concerned about the equipment in the dungeon." Do you have a map? "

Janet poured out the slime and asked about the dungeon equipment.

Well, don't flush the slime.

"Entrance checks are obligatory to submit tags, and there are maps and marks to ensure that everyone knows where everything is. I want Hammond to do the same."

Hammond had a simple mark, but it was also necessary to remember the path to reach it.

This is the first time that a glowing map is in every place.

Janet nodded several times with her hands on her chin.

"Originally, not only in the guild, but also in the goddess religion, we always recommend that you dive into the dungeon with the 'value your life' in mind."

“That's right, I don't recommend it unless you're very confident in your arms below the middle level, as it's important to be able to come back alive.”

"The source of funding will be the royal family, the operating mother of the Adventurer's Guild. Faithful in a way to the teachings of the goddess, it seems to symbolize this country.”

"... I see."

Janet's story made me think that Shivira would nod a little bit.

I thought you were so close to the Sun Goddess.

"Why not?" Since I am a beautiful girl loved by the world, I am naturally loved by the sun goddess as well. "

"If you're so confident, you'll be uneasy..."

However, I don't think you're making a serious mistake.

Otherwise, we wouldn't be able to fit in a meeting appointment.

“The pleasure of living in St. Goddard is in the city, not in the dungeon. It's enough to know that you live in this city."

That's right.

"--Yeah, that's what this city is all about. Isn't that right?"

Shibira opened her eyes to my words and nodded as she closed her eyes and exhaled for a long time.

"That's a good idea." Yeah, yeah. Everything about the dungeons, everything about the city that people make. Cuisine, fashionable clothes. I use this city as a starting point for people's development so that they can take care of it. "

A starting point for development.

Everything new in this new city is spread by the approval to go to other cities and the people who return to their hometown, gradually raising the standard of living of all the king's people.

I guess it's the city that's in charge of the precursor.

Perhaps there was a lot that started in this city in the everyday we enjoyed as a matter of course.

"With all the clothes and food, I can live without worrying tomorrow. After clearing all of them, we will aim to go even higher."

And more?

"Yes. Many food-rich liquors, jewelry that no girl can stop coveting, art that is more immersive than the magic tool of the closure, opera, theatre, music that can't be helped but tears..."

Shivira turns to Janet's harp.

Janet plays the string lightly, and Sibira narrows her eyes at the reaction.

"... if you can't afford it, you won't be able to enjoy entertainment." In order to enjoy the entertainment, we need to set up a system where even those who are not fit to explore the dungeons can operate, and make sure that children abandoned by their parents are not worried about tomorrow's food. ”

Well, the orphanage's operating costs were also being pushed out of the kingdom.

I think we're all very well cared for by the royalty of St. Goddard's.

I didn't think anything of it when I was a kid, but if the foundation that shapes us now is in that castle.

I just wanted to say thank you.

"Me too! I want to say that!"

I agree with you, but you can't say that an orphan is a direct courtesy to a royal family.

As Janet shook her head, she continued to play the harp strings.

Well, actually, that's true.

Even though he's better than all the lords of the city, like the royal family, he's not the kind of guy we'd meet in the first place.

When Shivira looked at me —— clearly, just me —— she turned her head in surprise.

"Oh, you want to thank the orphanage operator or something?"

"What do you think I am?"

"Park Mi-jin, who would never tell me she's in love with me"

“I'm not in love. Where does that confidence come from?”

If you're not in love with me, you could be in a man's house.

"Where did that confidence come from..."

"I feel like I can't tighten it anymore..."

Well, let's keep the thank you for operating the orphanage in our hearts.

"By the way, what happened to Janet today?"

"Are you talking about me? There's nothing interesting about it."

I see, that's really exciting.

Janet lost her voice for a moment and sighed and shook her head at my return.

Oh, I got Janet back. It's your first time, isn't it?

"... oh, I can't help it"

Janet then told him that she had been practicing her instrument for a long time.

Because of something unusual, evil children gathered, but when Janet talked about "Harp is the gift of Shivira", she took a step so that the children would not touch it.

Listening to that story, Sivira really gladly said, "Nhhhhhh!” I raised my voice and held my body in a winding and strange motion.

Yes, I'm glad.

After that, Marcus, who listened to my performance, sang it with my accompaniment.

Isn't that a funny story?

Marcus, do you agree with the tough guy who seemed to be frightened and scattered by all those kids?

Yeah, it was like the ex-boyfriend choir, better at singing than Hammond's bard.

Seriously, man, you don't know what's inside you.

"I was singing... oh, by the way, I might not know because I was the one collecting information in the tavern."

While saying that, she plays the harp strings.

While slowly repeating the main part of the song with my nose, I used three fingers of both hands to ring simultaneously.

It was just a few seconds, but I think it was easy music to hear.

"...... no, really?"

"What, Sibyla?"

"What is it? It is an advanced performance that performs the song 'Talking and Playing' separately, and it requires familiarity. On top of that, I've learned to play chords at the same time."

"I don't know how hard it is right now, but is it such a difficult technique?"

Sybila played several of Janet's harp strings simultaneously, saying, "Well, I'm sure..."

I made a lot of sounds at the same time, but —— let's be honest.

There was no one left, and it was a strange sound that I could not bear to hear.

"Well, as I heard, I deliberately disassociated myself... that is, I made a dirty sound, but if you make a mistake about the chords, it's easy for me to do this." Even if you don't know the song, everyone will know "Oh, I made a mistake." "

I see, I finally understand what you're saying.

Janet said that she played us once she made a mistake, and she did it perfectly.

... when the dungeon exploration really settles down, I think I'll be able to become a player?

“It was a simple accompaniment to a simple song. We haven't even played the melody yet, and we want to match the melody to the accompaniment of the chords.”

I'm so eager to get it done, I'm laughing because I'm too dependable.

I had no choice but to nod.

In a sense, it's the same as the book for this guy, but if you start to do it, it's like Janet.

"If you don't use the price, it's a waste." Besides, it's a gift from the goddess. "

Sibila was surprised by the words and looked back at her.

"Can I get this girl from me?"

It's definitely no good, isn't it?

Hey, Russell's after Janet in the future, right?

"Is that so, Russell?!"

Amy took a strange ride in response to Shivira's strange behavior.

No, don't get on it. Don't shake it.

"Ahh, I'm starting to get confused..."

"...... Rachel, is this party not in Tsukumi?"

"Tsukumi's not here."

"You're in a lot of trouble too..."

At the end of the day, Janet really came to me with sympathy, so I opened the conversation.

The child who came to the room called Shivira, and he flew away happily and dissolved naturally.

Totally, my goddess was really free.

Well, if you talk about the dim mood of the dungeon being boring, it's a little better.

The other dungeons will be a safe place for a complete guide. It is natural to think that the lower level, which is both dangerous and has large experience points, is sealed off.

The city is interesting... but it's probably the most boring city in the world for me to see the farthest point of dark magic.

—— I didn't think such an idea would cover up the next day.

Shivira heard confirmation from the woman who came to the orphanage first thing in the morning.

"... you're absolutely right."

"Yes, the launch party confirmed the monsters in all the first layers." Outside the city walls of St. Goddard--

--The seventh, eighth, and ninth dungeons appeared simultaneously. "
