One is cow horn.

Heavy when taken in hand.

"Is this a weapon material?"

Tapping lightly transmitted a bean and vibration.

There is likely to be considerable firmness.

The other is an ax.

It was the same type of battleaxe that the boss used.

"I can't have this ..."

I got it, but there was no sign of lifting.

Apparently it is a weapon that requires certain ax skills.

"Is it a magic weapon?"

"Is it a magic weapon?"

Weapons obtained in dungeons are called magic weapons in a broad sense.

Weapons available in dungeons range from high-quality weapons that can be used deep down to those that can only be used by casting.

So some people call the least usable weapon a magic weapon.

The weapon obtained this time has some fogging on the blade, but no rust. As far as Seiki sees, it seems to be enough for practical use.

"Can you take it home and see it in Akane?"

"I agree"

Unsuitable weapons are basically unfittable. If you don't have the equipment qualification, you won't even be able to lift.

But you can lift it "if you don't have it".

For example, a blacksmith.

They can't hold dungeon armor directly with their hands, but by using a giant pliers-like "chopstick", the armor can be lifted.

In addition, a clerk at an armor store.

They use their own tools, such as Magic Hands, to lift their gear.

In this way, the condition that "we cannot equip unsuitable weapons" is equal to "I can do anything without equipping."

――Aside from this, Haruki drags and carries it to the mouth of the magic bag so that it is not recognized as equipped on the weapon. (Unfortunately, Haruki et al. Did not have any tools to carry non-suitable weapons.)

When I pushed it from the handle and approached the blade,

"--Ah"

"……Ah"

The blade was caught in the mouth of the magic bag.

The bag has a maximum diameter of 20 cm, but the shape changes, so if you do your best you can put in and take out something up to 25 cm.

However, the width of the ax is about 50 cm, which is a very wide blade.

With this size, it doesn't really fit.

If you don't have a magic bag, you can't bring back any gear you can't equip.

There are a number of ways to take it home, but Haruki hasn't prepared to date in a "magic bag."

"I'm here ..."

What should we do?

"... Oh"

`` That, Mr. Van !? ''

Van appears.

Haruki suddenly shouted and shook his shoulders.

Why here? I think he's coming for training in dungeons. There is no reason not to go here.

But the timing is too good.

Anxiety rises in Seiki's chest.

It is common in dungeon captures to let the previous adventurer defeat the boss and go to the next floor while there is no boss.

If you're not parasitizing and snatching drops, you don't have to be eye-catching.

What Seiki is worried about is whether Van was watching Seiki's battle.

(Did you see the lotus using magic?)

Kagemitsu knows, but Van should not yet know that lotus can use magic.

If you're looking at magic, you have to ask not to talk ...

"When has Van been there?"

"... now, after the dungeon shines"

"Oh really"

Seiki exhaled a sigh of relief.

At this time, the magic of the lotus has not yet been seen.

But it should be different in the future.

It's fine if Van goes on, but you'll always notice magic if you're at the same hunting ground.

(Hmm ...)

I thought, but can't decide right away.

Seiki put it on hold.

"By the way, can you hold this ax?"

"Hmm……"

Van pulls his chin and walks up to the ax.

With his hand on the handle, Van lifted the ax.

"Oh!"

"Wow"

The two who couldn't lift the ax opened their eyes astonishingly, as if Van were an enormous force.

"... Well, I'm so surprised ..."

"No, no, we couldn't hold the ax because it was heavy."

"Hmm ... what do you do with this?"

"Would you like to sell it at the Akane store. I'm sorry, can you return to the ground together?"

"No .... No."

Van nodded, wrinkled between her eyebrows as if she was thinking.

Hold the ax and shake lightly up and down.

"... Can I use this?"

"Uh ... purchase?"

"No, money ..."

"Ah"

Van bought the house and is now running out of money.

And ax magic weapons are quite expensive, unlike daggers.

Unless you are a well-funded adventurer, you will be able to make purchases immediately.

Van is a well-known adventurer and has connections with Kagemitsu.

So lending isn't too bad, but he has a high-end main weapon.

What are you going to do with the ax?

Seiki leans her head,

"Is your main weapon changed from a sword to an ax?"

"Cut the tree ..."

"Ah!"

Haruki spontaneously struck.

Van rebuilt the wood with bright light when repairing the house.

So now he has to cut down trees in the dungeon and return the same number to Seiki.

An ax is certainly better at cutting trees than a sword.

As a devil weapon, you don't have to worry about the blades overflowing.

"Is it OK?"

"Of course. We can't use an ax, so you can use Janjan."

Again, weapons are used and Nambo.

Haruki accepted Van's offer.

What to do with the problem that you just put on hold.

Haruki walks down the stairs to the 19th floor with Van, thinking about her.

There's no problem telling Van that magic can be used.

He is a senior adventurer and a member of the aerial.

It will not promote the secrets of the adventurer. If you leak your secret, the act will surely bounce back on itself.

The secret exposure of others comes with a corresponding risk.

Seiki thinks it can be said.

However, Haruki and his colleagues will not act together. I wondered what to say.

"Van, I want to tell you just in case."

"……Hmm?"

Organizing thoughts, Seiki chooses words.

"From now on, if we look at where we are fighting-no matter how we are fighting, I would like no one to tell me."

"......... I understand."

"Oh, thank you very much"

Haruki was a bit offbeat, as Van agreed.

I expected that he would be asked for a reason.

(Surprisingly, it might be such a senior adventurer ...)

The fact that there is little information about the deep layers, as well as the lower layers, may be due to the implicit rule among senior adventurers that "what you saw in the dungeon should be silent."

Van was sweating cold on his back, next to Seiki who was convinced.

No matter how you fight, don't tell anyone.

(What kind of fight is the air doing ...?)

Van has seen his fight the other day in a practice match with Masatog.

But what if that was a “human-based” way of fighting?

Van once witnessed the air fighting of an intermediate adventurer.

Even then, he was fighting quite differently from a regular adventurer.

At that time, the current air is different.

The feathers of the neck changed in size and the body was scaled.

A white mask appears on the back, and tentacles hang down from the bag.

In addition, a red polypod on the abdomen.

(The air is ... what kind of fighting are you doing !?)

Van was very concerned about his fight.

I'm curious, but I don't want to go too deep.

Even if you see the air fighting seriously, Van's mental condition is normal.

In the head, the monsterized air appears to throw the monsters in pieces, and bully. Van's back trembles.

(... OK, OK.)

The air doesn't say "don't look".

If you witnessed it, you will miss it.

-You should miss it!

As he prays, Van descends the stairs.

While desperately trying to shake that knee.

Seiki activated the gate on the 19th floor, worried about Van, who turned her face blue and silenced for some reason.

Finally, the 19th floor-a test floor for advanced adventurers.

It is said that there is a wall between the 19th and 20th floors, just as there was a wall between the 9th and 10th floors.

10% of all adventurers break through the 9th floor wall.

Another 10% of adventurers break through the 19th floor wall.

Only 1% of adventurers.

That is why the walls of senior adventurers are thick.

That said, not all intermediate adventurers are all looking to become advanced adventurers.

It is the same as beginner adventurers do not always aim for intermediate adventurers.

If you become an intermediate adventurer, your hunting income will be more stable than in the beginner level.

For this reason, more and more adventurers who continue their adventures at intermediate level without aiming for advanced people who will lose their lives if they do poorly.

Aside, Seiki on the 19th floor carefully looked around.

This floor is also a forest stage, where the entire floor is heavily covered with trees as before.

The sky is still high and blue.

The dungeon wall is likely to be overcome if you reach for it, and towers so high that it cannot be exceeded.

Same as the 18th floor.

But the atmosphere was different.

Demon atmosphere felt from afar.

Entangled as sticky, sharp enough to be cut if tied.

(……… This is this atmosphere !?)

It is the gaze of a monster that can never be fooled.

Seiki was noticed by many demons from the moment she descended on the 19th floor!

"That's so! This floor is heaven!"

Hypo!

Just like a plant that seeks the light of the sun, Seiki's arms wide open, and her eyes gaze at herself.

I was right in the dungeon!

"... What? Air, what happened?"

"Van, don't worry, it's a regular attack."

Behind the excited Seiki, the lotus and the van whisper somehow, but don't worry.

Only small successes can make a big difference!

Vanuki is pleased with Seiki, and Van holds the battle ax to the base of the overtaking tree.

Lifting the battle ax, Van quickly swung down to the trunk.

The battle ax slipped into the trunk with a crisp noise.

"Oh!"

Seiki didn't seem to have added much power to Van.

But the battle ax has about half its blade in the trunk.

That alone shows how high the quality of the battle axes is.

"... I can return the wood in a few days."

"I see. That was good."

It is painful to keep taking away the valuable training time of senior adventurer Van for returning lumber.

With a sign that it seems to finish quickly, Haruki stroks her chest.

then,

"... mu?"

Van looks up,

He quickly swung the battle ax.

「――Tsu !?」

Van's attack was quick, as if he didn't feel the weight of the battle axes.

Seiki, who has some strength skills, will not be able to handle the battle ax lightly (even if she can get a battle ax).

As expected, a senior adventurer.

It is a formidable strength.

But it wasn't Van's attack that surprised Haruki.

There was a monster where he attacked.
