"... thanks for earlier... Mr. Singh"

"It's nothing to be thanked for. You got your reward."

On the way down the stairs to the two levels of the labyrinth basement, Phil, who was beside me, came to say thank you.

I scratch my head, lightly answering that I don't care.

In fact, our nose was moistened by the cuttlefish earlier, and nothing particularly damaging.

Besides I was able to secure one excellent player.

From what we can tell, it was quite a plus.

Don't even grow up with me if Phil is around.

Good things are done.

"They're accompanying us now in the form of for now, but don't ask the teacher later if it's okay to keep Phil in our party."

"Mmm..."

I guess it's actually better to form a friendship between the same grades, but in this kid's case, I don't get used to the party well.

I know that through Phil in another game.

Then you should just hang out with us.

These are better than painful feelings trying to forcibly blend into the surroundings.

I add Phil to the party with that idea and step into the two levels of the labyrinth basement.

And as we explored the interior of the cave, which was particularly irreplaceable with the first basement level, three dog-shaped MOB cobolts appeared in front of us.

"'Fireball'!

First, Sakya unleashes flaming magic and bakes one cobolt.

But the Kobolt opponents, equipped with armor and shields, could not be defeated with just one magic shot, and the three rushed towards us simultaneously.

"'Heels'"

I run for them and go after Sakuya's burnt Kobolt with a damaging heel.

Then the cobolt turned 0 HP this time, and it became smoke and disappeared from before us.

Also, than Sakya who did damage with just attack magic, the two remaining Kobolts have waved the sword in their hands at me because I earned the most Hate after taking down MOB after doing damage with healing magic.

But I gently prevent it with two shields in both hands.

The two Cobolts couldn't break through my defense and stopped on the spot.

"... Shh!

Phil the bandit aimed there and cut them with a dagger to flow through the two.

Is this attack 'Sleepslash' and 'Benomslash'?

I can confirm that one of the cut MOBs sleeps and the other slows down slightly and the HP shreds slightly.

Besides, no chanting is a big deal.

The fact that there is such a concept is not even small in the manual that I received from the school, so although I have already mastered it, I didn't think that I could use the PS (player skills) of the middle school students who are still having trouble mastering it, such as Mina and Sakuya.

"'Power Slash'!

As I praised Phil wholeheartedly, Mina was slamming off the MOB for those in a poisonous state.

This will make more than half of HP disappear and MOB will put one knee on the ground.

Phil popped in there once in a while and slashed the MOB, and when Mina added the offense again, the poisonous MOB turned to smoke with a light HP of 0.

Again, when Phil is around, MOB annihilation speed is fast plus don't increase stability.

While I was thinking about it, I was watching the sleeping MOB get smoky with Mina's attack.

"You're a boulder, Phil. It wasn't just my move, it was a good match for Mina's."

"... people"

Even in "FO," Phil and I used to combine tanks and attackers, so we thought we could work together pretty well.

But I honestly praised Phil for not thinking he could match Mina's attack, which would be his first collaboration.

It's called the unchanging earlier, you can decide Phil's PS in Earth is also quite expensive.

I wasn't doubting Phil's strength, though.

I'm a kid who remembers what I taught him.

"... but Mr. Singh is more amazing than that. I heard you talking, but was that the damage heel you were using earlier......?

"Oh, yeah, but"

But now I was more impressed with Phil.

"... on the first day of the game, as Sin and the others say, I thought I was a failure too... but I can't believe I used it the other way around... after all, Sin is amazing..."

When Phil says that, his eyes sparkle and he looks at me.

I feel kind of overrated, but I don't feel bad about being like that to a cute junior.

So I stroked Phil's head as luxuriously as I had done within 'FO'.

"Even so, it's not something that can be stretched that far as attack magic. Phil's Abnormal Condition Ability is treasured when dealing with multiple enemies. I'm counting on you."

"... okay... I got it"

And when I said words that inspired me as I stroked my head, Phil hid his face with a muffler wrapped around his neck.

But Phil's ears are red, and I can see that he probably hid the redness in his face.

You still don't look used to being praised by people.

You won't have to be ashamed of yourself for this.

I looked up at Phil, thinking that way.

…………

…………

And I got eyes on Sakuya.

Sakya is turning up in front of the black robe as she tears eyes.

Is it white today?

You're thorough.

"I feel signs of Loricon from Master Singh..."

"No, it's not Loricon, it's not Loricon, so just lower your robe"

It's called Lorikon.

I was just praising Phil normally.

"Age alone... even though age alone can't help it..."

…………

But Sakya was whining like she was sorry for something.

You're not old enough to care, either.

Don't burn weird jealousy on a kid who's only two years old and different.

"To tell you the truth, Phil is one of us. If we misfire him, we'll kick him out."

"I know... I wouldn't even do that with a boulder..."

"... do you?

Somehow, I imagined that if I were Sakuya, I might do it, but once I got the word out of this, it would be okay.

"But instead, he's nadenade me too..."

".................. ok"

Then I continued to stroke her head to fix Sakuya's mood.

"What is the relationship between Mr. Singh and Mr. Sakya...?

"I wonder if it's a relationship between husband and wife..."

"Shut up. I'll kick your ass when I say the right thing."

Along the way, Phil had voiced doubts about our different relationship and Sakuya had given an idiotic answer to it, but we could only stop a strange misconception from arising for a moment.

Needless to say Mina was watching us with a subtle look during that time.

This is how we do nothing (?) We continued our labyrinth exploration and turned back to town about as much time had passed.

"'We used to get it and store it in the warehouse, but it was dusty without using it as it was, so you can use it if you like'..."

When we came back from the labyrinth to redeem items at Adventurer's Guild, my sister at the reception gave me this message and some of the gear.

The sender, like Phil, is a player named 'Ceres' whom I was inviting as a party member.

Sure, she said she was a college student before, but thank you for coming to Earth literally earlier than we did.

"... from Mr. Ceres?

"Oh, apparently so"

I answered Phil's question, who was flirting with claws ahead of me to try to read the letter I read.

"... I was here first"

"Apparently."

Apparently, Phil didn't even know.

Well, we're all subject to confidentiality about the Earth world, so maybe she couldn't talk about it on Earth.

But I wish you would have told me when I got in touch with you with the call function.

Maybe there was something backwards like starting the game first.

"'You will also be well aware that it is not going to be a busy thing when our predecessors are exposed to overprotections to follow. So keep in mind that our help doesn't make that much sense." … "

You mistakenly assume that wearing strong gear or power leveling has made you stronger, and you worry about not dying in a far-fetched imitation?

I mean, you're trying to tell me you sent us the right gear for our current height.

"... but it's all pretty good."

Necromancer's Bracelet Curse Endurance Value 10000 Weight 5

STR + 4 MND-4

Necromancer Collar Curse Endurance Value 10000 Weight 5

INT + 4 MND-4

Necromancer's Boot Curse Endurance Value 10000 Weight 5

AGI + 4 MND-4

Fool's Shield Endurance Value 20000 Weight 3

STR + 1 VIT + 5 INT - 5 MND - 5 LUK + 5

Cross Skill of Blood Sucking 'Blood Sucking' Endurance Value 12000 Weight 12

STR + 5 INT + 5

Ceres sent me a shield for me in addition to three Necromancer gear, plus all five of the weapons that came with the skill 'Blood Sucking' to suck MP off the enemy and turn it into his own MP.

Two others are good, but three Necromancer gear is big.

This will allow you to recover for all party members.

Also, a shield that will lower your MND beyond just increasing your defense is quite useful.

Besides, the blood-sucking cross seems to be blunt weapon equipped, and even I, the monk, can normally equip it.

For me with heavy MP consumption because of my combined tank and healer, I'm pretty happy that I have a weapon that can absorb enemy MPs.

With these it would be a lot easier to tank.

I thought so and tried to give my Necromancer gear to Mina and Phil.

"You can't wear a collar on another child, master."

…………

Sakya pushed me.

Don't you want any party members other than yourself to wear collars?

Stop calling your basket husband.

Phil's watching us.

Then I ended up giving Mina my Necromancer bracelet and Phil my Necromancer boot, and the collar succeeded in quelling Sakya in the form of a hold.

When it was night in time, we ate properly before returning to the inn.

By the way, Phil and I are splitting up on the way because the inn is different.

I said I would send her, but she shook her head and ran away.

Well, for now, security in this town seems good, so even one person will be fine.

"What? Can I add junior high school students to my membership and act?

"Yes."

And when I went back to the inn, I met Dr. Hayakawa and asked him if he had any problems keeping Phil.

"Hmmm...... well fine. Instead, you're gonna take good care of him, right?

Then Dr. Hayakawa accepted that in two replies.

Well, that makes it easier for me...

"Are you sure? It's that easy. Okay, let it out."

"You have a problem. [M] So, how many years and how many pairs of junior high school students are there?

You're kind of trusted to disgust me.

"... is a girl whose character name is Phil in two years"

But I stopped thinking about it and explained Phil lightly.

"Girls...? Are you that...? Maybe you're gonna stiffen up all the party members with girls?

"No, that's not true..."

Dr. Hayakawa frowned when he heard my explanation.

Why would you say that as soon as you found out it was a girl?

Sure, my party is full of girls.

"Phil was partying with me in another game. I think it would be better if it were crocodile. With her, we'll make progress with the labyrinth attack."

"Well... I hope so"

But I'll lift Phil because I don't care if he drops his party membership.

In fact, there is no falsehood in its lifting.

"... by the way, I've been wondering"

"? What is it"

And so Hayakawa began to look at me with such surprise.

"Why are you so poisonous all over town? If you walk this far from the normal labyrinth, you will recover from the state anomaly, and you will be a monk in the first place. How come you're not recovering?

What, about that?

When a state anomaly occurs, it appears next to the name.

Plus, HP is decreasing in trace amounts.

Can you find out if it looks okay?

"This is just raising your skill level."

"You think it's skill level?

"I'm a tank and healer, so it's not good when things go wrong. So this is how we build abnormal resistance skills when we're safe."

"Oh... really..."

"Yes."

Skill levels in Earth are increased by using skills over and over again.

I'm still in a poison state because Phil, who was just there, had me stab him in the ass with 'Benomslash' and I'm in the process of building my poison resistance skills.

Although it is actually more efficient to get poisoned and treat them repeatedly, they become more proficient even while maintaining the poisonous condition.

She was also reluctant to stick a knife up my body, albeit a little, but still managed to get it understood by saying it was to raise her skill level.

I looked at this one like Sakuya was envious of something near me having such an exchange, but I don't care.

If you speak poorly and say, "I want to stab you too," you'll cut my real mental strength.

Now that MOB only uses poison state abnormalities, it prioritizes poison resistance, but I intend to use "Sleep Thrash" or "Stance Rush" to build up sleep resistance, paralysis resistance, etc., and how many more.

If Phil can use all kinds of abnormal state attacks in banditry, my abnormal state resistance skills will grow.

"... but the poisonous condition should be about as painful as your body is having a high fever... aren't you hard? This world isn't about games, is it?

When I answered lightly, now they were worried about me.

Isn't it a game or something?

I agree if that's what you mean to act on it.

The flow of people, the air in town, the view of the sky, your own senses.

Whatever I see or hear, I can understand that this is not a VR.

But that has nothing to do with it.

It's not that life is fucking gay or that it's my real life in the game, because I worship the existence of a game.

"It's a game for me."

That's why I told Dr. Hayakawa.

And I said something. I ignored her gaze, and I quietly went back to the room where my bed was.
