Isekai Dungeon de RTA

Lesson 58 Enhancement

Behind the door was a smaller room than I thought. At least not in that white room.

Hmm? There's something in the back...... is that an altar?

I was alert to the appearance of the boss because I was obviously in a different place than when I came in, but there was no sign of him ever showing up.

I stroke my chest down once.

Master Lune is also relieving tension and looking around.

"This place… apparently has not yet returned to the castle."

"Sounds like it. And look behind you."

Master Lune checks the direction and rear.

"I see you need to do something in this room"

After confirming the disappearance of the door, Master Lune groans calmly.

When we recognize the status quo, we'll go to the altar that we can see behind the room. It is finely decorated and very eye-catching.

But nothing was put on top of it.

I wonder what this is? It makes a lot of sense...

Master Lune doesn't seem to know very well, and he is twisting his neck.

"Does this place make sense?

As much as I'd like to hear.

"I don't think so... No. Maybe you're right to say 'there was'"

"What the hell do you mean?

I have one idea. I don't really want to think about it, but the odds are pretty high.

"In other words, the reward..."

That audio comes out of nowhere when I try to explain.

"Congratulations on your offensive success. As a reward, you can enhance any one item in your hand. Please place items on the pedestal one by one"

It took a little while to understand the meaning of the word.

Apparently, the item can be enhanced as a reward for attacking.

A pedestal would be a monstrous altar in front of you. Apparently I should just put the item here......

But I have one question.

"Apparently this is the reward...... what the hell is enhancement?

"I have no idea either. Maybe it's a simple strength problem, or maybe the performance value goes up."

I also find it difficult to think of the reward as a simple strength increase.

But it's not like I attacked a dungeon that's more difficult. I think it seems most likely that the performance value mentioned by Master Lune will rise.

However, even if the performance value actually rises, I don't have the technique to investigate it. However, I have heard that there are skills that allow me to evaluate performance values, but of course I do not possess them.

"Can Master Lune appraise the performance of the equipment?

No, I'll ask him.

"No...... I have no appraisal eye for items. If I could go back to the country, I would have someone with skills..."

Master Lune tells her sorry.

Apparently, I can't. But if you go to the Elf Country, you can get an appraisal. Let's remember.

I'll check the equipment in my possession again.

The weapon in your hand is a bastard sword. As an adventurer, this is a class weapon that freshmen from beginner to intermediate prefer to use. I mean, ratings are very normal, not good or bad.

The protective equipment you are wearing is lightweight and this one is of very normal quality.

Shit... these things can jump in value if you further enhance rare items... But I can't help it because I don't have the item in question right now.

Should we keep it as a weapon without difficulty? I feel a little wasted even though this is a corner opportunity…….

"Did Mr. Kite decide on an item to enhance?

"I'm a little lost, to be honest"

"So are you sure you want to enhance from me?

Master Lune apparently made up his mind. I wonder what it will strengthen.

I was intrigued and watched what happened.

The item chosen by the Queen was earrings.

It explains why Master Lune chose the earrings because of my blatant gaze.

"This is what Eliza used to give me. Even if the performance doesn't change, it's enough to make it stronger and less fragile."

I see, it's an ornament and I don't want it to break...

I've always had my eyes full of gear, but that's an option.

When the earrings are placed on the pedestal, a dazzling light is emitted from it.

But the light instantly subsided, and the earrings were there on the pedestal, unchanged from when they were placed. Apparently, the enhancement is complete.

She takes the earrings from the pedestal and returns them to her own ears again.

Hmm... yes!

Speaking of which, if you can call it an ornament, I have one, too. Besides, it's very important.

It floated like a heaven, and I put it on a pedestal.

Just as in the earrings, the enhancement completes in a flash of time.

I re-attach the removed ornament to my arm.

My fortified item is the bracelet Luca gave me. It's definitely the most important item I have in a way. Even if the effect of enhancement is to increase durability only, it would be better to reinforce weapons and protective equipment, given the priority of the item.

"That bracelet...... I feel amazing magic. What kind of stuff is it?

It would be fine to talk about the way I got it.

"This is a gift from the Spirit."

"I see, then you naturally feel the magic. The story is that only those who are very lucky can get items from the Spirit. That's Mr. Kite."

Well, I fully agree that we were lucky.

After that, Master Lune will ask me about the effect of the bracelet, but honestly, I don't know all the power of this bracelet myself, so I will leave it to myself. All I know for sure is that you can have a conversation when you're wearing this bracelet. And maybe it's the bracelet that makes Luca come out in front of me. If you get a chance, you can ask the person who gave me the bracelet.

When they both finished receiving their rewards, their voices echoed from nowhere again.

"Successful attackers will be given the qualification to attack the next dungeon. Recommended Attack Level 10 or higher, requires five people. The reward for a successful attack will be equipment that has been awarded special effects."

Was it still a dungeon here too? I was wondering if that was the case somehow, but there were many different parts of it, so I was half-hearted...

That and hearing the audio now gave me some certainty.

In order to challenge a more challenging dungeon, they have to attack it first from an easy person. After all, as Lune discusses, the recommended level is only recommended and is not mandatory. The point is that we should attack them in turn. It's only a matter of attacking all the dungeons...

But we also talked about the next reward, but the gear is fascinating. Though it has a title, for me, I only have very ordinary weapon defenses, and I want special effects weapons so much that I can get them out of my throat. Those weapons are rarely sold in the first place at lower prices.

Besides, the recommended level for the next dungeon is 10. It would be to the extent that it could be adequately addressed by including a correction to the title. Should this go............? There's just one neck...... that's the number of people.

The five are tough, but if we're serious about attacking, we have to gather them...

"Mr. Kite, there's an exit!

Turning to Master Lune's voice, the door that had just disappeared was reappearing.

Me and Master Lune approach the door and touch it carefully.

At the end of the door, me and Master Lune saw... that white room.

I feel relieved to be able to return to the castle.

"Now you can go back to the castle."

I hear Master Lune was thinking the same thing.

Yeah, I'm glad.

"... and what was that place after all?

Indeed, the question remains. Why is there such a place in the basement of the castle in the first place?

There seems to be no mistake about a dungeon, but does the guild know? And if I didn't know, should I let you know?

Various questions arise, but I cannot make my own decisions, so I will also exchange my views and ask Master Lune for his opinions.

"...... right. I've never really known such a dungeon existed, either. I think you're right about not telling too many people about Kate."

"Is that still true?"

"Yes, even if we do, we should limit ourselves to the people that Kate trusts."

Someone you can trust...... right. There are very few such persons in this country at present. I just got here, so I can't help it.

"What do you think about reporting to the Alliance? Honestly, I don't really care..."

Master Lune shows a slight gesture of contemplation.

"If Mr. Kite doesn't want it, don't you have to report it? I think the Alliance will fly to this castle to investigate as soon as we have something to report. Even I have difficulty predicting what will happen as a result of that. Worst case scenario, you can't say they never collect a castle."

As far as listening. Apparently, you should still refrain from reporting.

"I don't know how guild Mr. Kite can be unscrupulous to his opponents..."

I hope so......

"As I said earlier, assuming Mr. Kite is thinking about attacking an underground dungeon, I think it would be better to invite only credible people into the castle."

That's right, Master Lune, my behavior seems to have already been predicted.

But someone you can put your trust in…… I guess the closest one is them.

About three faces that I once put together float quickly.

At that time, Mr. Lune made an unexpected offer.

"Mr. Kate, if you don't mind, may I help you with the offense, too?

"Huh!?"

Master Lune will come up with a surprise suggestion as to whether he seemed to see me thinking about it.

But to get the queen to help...

No, think calmly. He's offering me a corner. Master Lune can be trusted. Besides, he's a wizard. It would be a hundred manpower if you helped me.

"Are you sure?

I stare at Master Lune with anticipation.

"Yeah, I don't mind. I'm a little interested, too."

He smiles and accepts.

"Just... just leave it to me to talk about helping you personally. There's no way I'm leaving the Elf Country with three trusted people."

"It's outrageous. It's a waste of money just for Master Lune."

That's not even why I'm hugging you so much.

But now we have one. Good luck.

Then I will meet with Master Lune to schedule an appointment. As a result, we decided to spend a little time attacking the next dungeon. Of course I'm in charge of finding the other members.

When the conversation was settled, Master Lune hurried back to his country.

Apparently, it was way past the scheduled time.

After dropping off Master Lune, I headed to Leia and Liv for a brief report.

But the room where the two of them were supposed to be waiting was a stuffed shell.

"Dear Kite!!

It is inadvertently called out loud from behind.

Turning around, Leia stood there with an unhappy look on her face.

"Dear Kite, where were you going? I've been searching for you for a long time."

"A little...... what about Liv?

"I've been waiting for a while, but they said I had plans that I couldn't get out of. They're coming to talk to me later."

"He did something wrong."

"…… So, Master Kite?

I'll explain the situation to Leia.

She, too, of course, didn't know. The expression is full of surprise.

"In the basement of the castle..."

"……… Ah."

"Dear Kate, in my view..."

"I'm sorry, Leia. I want to take the day off already. Let's talk tomorrow."

I'm still trying to keep the conversation going, Leia, and I'm pushing forward.

Honestly, my body was already close to its limit. I heard that magic recovers over time. Probably some recovery if you get some sleep.

I wanted to ask Leia about today myself, but it's all tomorrow. I want to take the day off for now.

Leia still calls out to me trying to get back to my room quickly.

"Ka, Master Kate...... what about me?

For some reason, Leia seems restless.

"What's the meaning of this?"

"I, um... after this..."

I can hardly seem to get the word out.

It is quite unusual for her to say things clearly. Her face is a little red.

However, I was able to predict the content of the question based on her condition, so I will answer it.

"Yeah, you mean the meal after this, right? You don't need me, so take Leia as you please."

……

She nodded after a long silence.

"Understood. Goodnight, Master Kite."

"Yeah, good night."

Saying so, Leia gives thanks.

Leia and I broke up and went back to my room and I slept like mud.

It was the day after that that that the outrageous facts were discovered -.
