It's Munchkin Healer

Ten days after the field dungeon.

Sid came to a city called Flatfish, just north of Iron Hill.

After escaping the dungeon, spider venom, wizard's staff, clothing, etc. could also be sold in Bellerod, but few people recognized the value of "Jefeto's Antibodies" from the lab.

In that sense, the flappers were a good place to process the antibodies.

The Dungeon of Fields was close to Iron Hill, a city famous for alchemy.

Daughter!

“Welcome. ”

You reach Sid's feet in a workshop.

A workshop that smells of burning sulfur and smoke.

An old man in round glasses is confronted by Sid.

“I'm going to sell some stuff. ”

“Tool or ingredient? If you're selling magic goods, you'll get a separate emotional fee. ”

“It's like an antibody. Adapting to the poison. ”

“Antibodies? You got something like that? ”

The old man opened his eyes wide.

Sid opens the duffel bag and pulls out a bottle wrapped in clothing rack.

The old man looks at the lime in his bag and tilts his head.

“What's shining inside? It looks like liquid.”

“A serving horse.”

“Servant? You got the antibodies. Are you an alchemist or a witch's apprentice? ”

“I can't tell you that easily. ”

“Knng. Good. Give it to me.”

Sid was used to these deals.

It was better to let the transaction be disadvantageous, to let it be reasonably speculative, and to be harsh.

An old man turned into high-powered glasses received a disease.

The old man frowns at the halfway mark, and puts a drop on his tongue.

“Hmm. Unique. It's all strange poison. Did you make the synthetic water and extract it from there? ”

“I don't know. I brought it because my teacher told me to sell it. ”

Sid replied casually.

However, the information was obtained.

The monsters in the dungeon proved unusual.

“Hmmm. It's weird, but that's it. I'd tell you to use it if you have a fool aiming for poison ivy or poison ivy. Why would you get it? If you buy it personally, I'll give you about six gold. ”

“There you go. I told you not to sell to people you don't value. ”

“It's worth a sale. I'm not doing any art. ”

The old man smiles bloody and hands over the disease.

But there was no rush.

The money the Elves left behind was generous, and it wasn't that they didn't know the value of the antibody enough to pay for it.

I tried it myself in the dungeon and didn't experience it.

The old man changed his glasses and put his tongue on.

“Turn it off. I don't know who your teacher is, but he's quite a geek. Mana possessed by antibodies is Elvish, and the extraction method is the skill of a warrior. Are you a warrior with the Elves? Or an Elf with a Warrior? ”

“I'm under no obligation to tell you. Isn't that right?”

Sid brings out a single penny of gold.

It was a reward for hearing the information.

The old man was talking with a gold coin.

“Well, now that you've had a good look, I'll tell you who to deal with. There's a nerd collector in the alley over there. An Elf that collects anything rare from its usefulness. Maybe you'll recognize its value. You might be interested to know that Elf technology is inside. ”

“Hmph. Then tell me that from the beginning. ”

“It's 1-gold information. It's a deal. ”

“Thank you, sir. ”

“Go away.”

Daughter!

After speaking, Sid leaves the workshop.

The old man licks his finger and tilts his head.

He said it was worthless, but it was definitely unusual.

“Father, did you send him to the Elves? ”

The woman who was unpacking asked.

The old man blinks and nods.

“That's right, son. Money's a bit of a rush, but in that case, we're usually looking for information or people. If I tell a story, I'll be better off with that Elf. Why, are you interested? ”

“No. I just spent the night in that elf. The debtors came and cleaned out the workshop. You're wasting your breath.”

“Huh? Did you? I shouldn't have said that. I was trying to pay for the gold. Sorry, Sri.”

The old man mutters as if to regret it.

* * *

Queek · · ·

“Are you there?”

I came into the workshop the old man mentioned.

The workshop was filled with filthy garbage and things from the alleyway entrance and boasted an incredibly horrible space where people live.

On the other hand, it was also a scene that made sense.

It's an Elven Workshop, nothing else.

No matter what they did, they were just Elves.

Anybody home? ’

Mal Kang!

You pull out the lime and shine a light.

The dark workshop was full of dirty things, and there was nothing special about a small table in the room.

That old man tricked me?

Bang!

Then the door behind me closed.

It must have been the wind.

Thung · · Thung · · Thung · · Thung · · Thung · Thung ·

Huh?

And the light that started at the door spread to the workshop.

The whole room turned blue and gathered on the table, and a subtle letter and Mana filled the surroundings.

Wow.

I guess the Elves here are pretty crazy, too?

It was quite an impressive greeting.

However, the voice I heard was not natural.

Hehe. I've been waiting for quite a while. So this is the winner.

Ugh!

I could've held my heart out.

A sweet voice flowing into my ears.

And this familiar laugh.

Instinct reminded me of the main character of this smile.

He was a player of the bandits who screwed him in the dungeon.

“Nobody, I guess. Let's go, Lime. ”

String!

You stroke the lime and head for the door.

Then the thief's warning came.

I knew I heard a voice when the thief died. But I'm not here for revenge, so don't be nervous. I just want to talk.

Yeah, come on.

Would you believe me?

I know what happens when you tell me you can hear me.

I grabbed the door hook gently.

If you leave now, more and more players will notice you. You had an accident in Iron Hill, didn't you? That's a pretty famous story.

‘Fuck.’

My hands stopped without me knowing.

I should have just left without stopping.

I just couldn't move on to the story.

Did you like the conversation?

Head · · ·

My heart was pounding.

I already had the door hook, but I couldn't pull it.

Then the thief was strange.

He said strange things like talking to me, and at the end he said strange things rather than wanting to be transferred to someone else's character.

Did they find out from the start?

If we get our tails caught, we have no choice.

I opened my mouth in a low voice.

“Great. Who else knows? ”

It was the first conversation with the player.

One for me so far. I don't want other players to know if it's possible. If you respond to the conversation, you will continue to make it so.

The thief said in a quiet voice.

Ha · · ·

I exhaled and turned my head.

He stared at an empty workshop.

“Good. What do you want? ”

Hehe. Can I tell you how I feel? Her eyes changed more than when we first met. The settings have changed. In your case · · · personality change? It's not really about setting things up.

“It's the same as last time, but it has a long tongue. ”

Anyway, nice to meet you. By the way, you don't have to worry about eavesdropping on other players. You see that table over there?

At the thief's words, I head to the table.

On the table was a silver doll trapped in a small flask, which was trying to escape the disease by moving around.

Homeunculus, the boss of this dungeon. When you enter a dungeon, the player channel is distinct. to prevent the story from leaking out.

“Boss? This little one? ”

The cause of the disconnection of the dungeon is the flow of Mana that is different from the outside. And it's because of the monsters growing up benefiting from Mana. You call that a boss monster, don't you? The one who benefited most from the dungeon. On the other hand · · Boss monsters can influence the dungeon.

“So how did you make this? ”

Let me tell you a little bit about probability. I can't tell you any more than that.

The thief smiles casually.

I feel like I can trust something, but I can't.

It felt complicated, but I didn't relax.

He didn't let me die when I was abandoned in the dungeon.

Hmm. You find that hard to trust me? Of course, I won't ask you to trust me vaguely. But let me offer you a deal.

“What deal? ”

I want a new game. And I want more scenarios to grow my mythology. In that sense, you're a good Irregular. They're not tied to the setup, they're not tied to us.

“Now you're trying to tie me up? ”

If you pay for it, the story changes. There's a lot I can give you.

“For example? ”

Let me start with your position. You have lost your contracted player. Try to earn 100,000 points and return to Earth. What will happen?

“Are you threatening me? ”

No, someone's gonna notice you coming back. A special ability you have. Abnormal things you've done. Here's where you'll find players who are paying attention and investigating. So what will become of you, knowing the secrets of our world? Do you think you can make it to Earth?

The thief smiles in a strange voice.

In fact, it was more like a threat.

But this woman's plan was obvious.

You want to sign with me.

He wants to own me.

I spoke with a deep voice.

“How do I know you're just lying because you want to sign with me? You think I trust you? ”

Oh, we're talking about this, aren't we? It's a quick story. Yeah, I want you. I want to have an Irregular like you, I want to contract with variables like you. I'll stop the players who suspect you and investigate you. You won't suspect a warrior without an owner unless you sign with me. Moreover, now you have changed most of the settings that may restrict behavior. At least · · · About the Avenger? Is this why you're after your guardian castle?

“How did they know you were after them? Besides, it's not just the setup. It's just my heart. ”

It's called setting. Hehe. Easier to know. Cute, too.

‘Bite.'

I felt like I was drying something out.

What is she so good at?

In the meantime, I didn't feel good about deceiving others.

I'm so angry. I didn't mean to make fun of you. And it's not a deal. Let's just say you get the benefits of signing with me. There are three conditions I propose. I'll take you home first. I usually need 100,000 points, but I'll give you 50,000 points. You have to have this kind of condition to make a deal. Isn't that right?

“Hoho?”

The bandits have come to striking terms.

The other question, of course, was whether this condition was kept, but it was certainly quite an interesting proposition.

Plus, I have about 10,000 points.

As long as I have 40,000 more points, it's home, so I'm attracted to it.

“How do you ensure that conditions are met? ”

Um, do you want me to make a vow to the Supreme Leader?

“Good. If it makes you feel compelled. ”

It's a hoax.We 're not constrained by this. But I'll make you an offer you can't refuse. It's the only way to prove my sincerity.

“Good. What's the offer? ”

Player Points. You haven't received any skill rewards and tool rewards, have you?

“Huh?"

Hehe. There's nothing to be ashamed of. He was shy. A fool who couldn't invest a single point and never abandoned you. You figured that out for yourself, didn't you?

“Just like I didn't invest my skills because I had bad points? ”

Even that was his will. All I wanted to do was fill in 100,000 points and graduate. Why, am I in league with protection?

“No. I just know she's a bitch. ”

Hehe. I hope the day comes when you talk to me face to face.

“So am I. ”

I'm having a blast.

Take a look.

She's the reason I did what I did.

I knew it.

Anyway, it's all her fault.

“Then keep talking. I like it a little bit. ”

Fine. I'll give you skills and tools if you want. Of course, I can only give you within the same relationship between you and me, and I have no relationship with Hiller. But if it's poison, it's fate. I could give you a window.

“Player Points. Isn't that precious? My goddess didn't want to use it. ”

That's because he was small. It's not worth it. It just builds up naturally when you play. Most are used to strengthen their warriors, but not in my case. Just a fun game. It's used for interesting scenarios. Interesting scenarios come with such precious myths.

“So I was right. You guys are growing myth and reputation through games, right? ”

How much?

“So how much do you plan on supporting me? ”

As much as you do. Of course I have big hands. Besides, I liked you. I want to get tangled up in the flesh.

“I don't like it. ”

Phew. I'm kidding. That's what I'm saying.

The thief smiles in a strange voice.

And that was the last word.

And lastly, your former defender. I used to call him Hiller. I'll take him to the game. If you join me, you'll be able to meet me naturally. How to handle it · · · · I won't interfere. That's the end of the deal. That's not bad, is it? It's gonna be hard to say no. I want to have you no matter what it takes. I want you to be mine. I will be yours.
