143 Getting Started (LUDI)

"It's kind of fresh, I can't believe it's a dungeon alone. That too... in such a beautiful place"

That's what I said. Rudy turns his gaze to the cosmos that was blooming.

In retrospect of what she told me, I am convinced that it does. I've never been alone completely.

"Mostly because I was trying to get to the dungeon with someone."

Nanami, seniors, and lately the flowers often go with them.

This time, however, they have something to do with them.

It is a further acquisition of ninja skills in "Kalaka Castle". Seniors and Nana, as well as knitting flowers, still have useful skills available.

But I'm not.

If you can take the throwing skills and the escape skills that were meant for you, you don't need them as much as you need them later. No, you can have it, but I think it's enough to answer otherwise if you ask me if I should take precedence.

So they went to "Tease Castle," and me and Rudy came to this dungeon.

Because this dungeon is the most special, I won't even take it.

"Only the two of us can get in, dungeon, right? Some of these weird dungeons."

"You surprised me when I first found out, too. Actually, it's more of a picnic place than an adventure..."

Rudy would think that when it comes to dungeons, there are monsters, there are traps, there are treasures, and this is where the fantastic world is spreading, no. Most people think so.

But this dungeon is special.

I do have monsters. But that's just the boss monster, and there's no treasure and no traps on the road. And even though it's normal to attack at a party of five, only two people can get in here.

The interior of the floor is also special.

It's just a beautiful flower garden.

The shining sun. Flowing streams. And flowers like lavender and cosmos and poppies blooming on one side of the perimeter.

Drifting around is the sweet scent of blooming flowers, which will be reflected in the bees' peach origins. Well, even from us, it looks like Peach Town.

"That's a really nice place to live... as much as I'd like to live here"

Then Rudy walks stops in front of Gabella. Smiling, she reaches for the flower and is gentle, letting go of the flower.

"... I'd like to show it to Clarice too."

"To Mr. Clarice?

"Yeah, that's right. Because Clarice loves flowers."

"Really?

"You like it a lot among the elves."

What the majority of the species called elves naturally like in this world is half common sense. But that's what that elf Rudy says, so I guess Clarice likes it a lot.

Maybe I can use it for something, and let's remember.

"Speaking of which, aren't you going to tell Clarice about that?

"That thing... and what was it?

"Look. If you were lucky, you'd shut up and mix it with your meal."

Oh, and I laugh bitterly. I did do that, too.

"Don't you have to tell me something else? 'Cause if I tell Mr. Clarice, he's gonna care a lot."

"Well, I'm sure you care, maybe you'll retire and work for Kosuke."

"Is that it?

"That's it, because that's the kind of elf I care so much about. But it's hard for Clarice to quit."

"I'm not gonna tell you unless you say something."

"Yeah, I kind of felt that way.... but I'm a little happy"

"Glad?"

"Yeah, 'cause if I clarice, I've been having so much fun lately."

"Sounds fun?"

If the more you work out, the stronger you get, that must be fun.

"That's right. If you clarice, you've been gaining strength lately, haven't you? As much as I'd like to go to Tease Castle with Mr. Snownoise today."

It was this morning that Mr. Clarice offered to go to the dungeon. She offered to go instead if me or Rudy wouldn't go, and she left.

Let's follow us. But unfortunately, it's just for the two of you.

"Sure you do."

I've been thinking about it for a long time, but it's still growing. How much stronger would she be if she could continue to grow like that? He was a character who wasn't in the game, so that's unknown.

Maybe he'll be stronger than Chairman Monica, or he won't.

"So. Maybe, but Kosuke won't be thanking me for much longer, so I'll tell you while I'm at it. Thanks."

"It's not about being thankful. Because it's like I'm using Mr. Clarice. So it's like a token of appreciation."

Maybe, but I'll get a few more in the future.

"Well, that's a big thank you."

That's how Rudy laughs when he dulls.

"Well, I'm grateful to everyone. Let's go to the next level."

That said, I point to the metastatic magic formation in the middle of the flower garden.

Through the Transition Magic Formation, what was there was a tunnel of vines.

Neither of us uttered a word when we saw that. He stared at the flowers of the vines shining in the light to be illuminated, and after a few minutes or so, Rudy muttered with a potpourri, "Beautiful..."

As we walked through the purple tunnel, it was another flowering garden with colorful flowers.

"Oh, already. Awesome. Look, Kisuke! Just the vine tunnel is so amazing."

That's what she says and runs out. And with her hands wide open and smiling, she turns this way. There are colorful blooming tulips spread around her. It's as if he even came to Holland.

As the two of us indulge in a tulip field, Rudy inadvertently stares at the flowers with her eyes narrowed.

"And it's good?

"What?

"'Cause here... you're here to acquire skills for wizards, aren't you?

As Rudy says, I came here to get wizard skills. I'm going to say that I've looked into why I know that. Even though I don't think I need to hide it anymore.

"Yeah, but what happened to that?

"'Cause Kosuke doesn't make sense."

Rudy says that with all due respect, but I think she has the answer to that question herself.

"Then why did Rudy come with you to Tease Castle?

"Tease Castle" is where bandit skills and proximity fighters go to gain skills. Rudy herself tells me she can't remember her skills very well.

Still, she dived into the dungeon many times with us. So it's the same thing.

"It's..."

In the first place. Even if it doesn't mean anything directly to me, if that means something to Rudy, it means something to me too.

"That's why I think. I thought we both thought the same thing."

"... well"

That's what Rudy said, and when she flushed her hair on her face, she smiled a hazy smile.

"I'm so happy for you."

Sure it is.

"Oh, I'm so happy."
