"What, was that a shark?

A little back on the road, at Safe Point.

I was asking back by accident.

"That's right."

A magician girl sitting perched on the ground, with a wand and a hat on her knees, nods without a dust.

"It's getting narrower at the end of the day. So if it's a monster as big as a golem, it gets stuck (...) of. Emerald Golems have no means of ranged attack, so they can be framed and killed unilaterally if they are guards like magicians and archers."

"Uh..."

What she was talking about was a so-called shark.

How to use the terrain and unilaterally hunt from where the monster's attacks do not arrive.

It is a convenient way to collect drops and level them, but there are very few places you can actually go. A popular place is enough for a party to wait in order to form a line.

The information on the sharepoint will be out soon. Yeah, I usually use the highs and lows, so I didn't think there were adventurers out there framing.

"So... that golem was something you pulled?

"Yeah. While baking plant-based monsters. There are so many extra monsters here, it's not very efficient."

"It... did something wrong"

I apologize honestly.

Even though I didn't know, it's a violation of manners to interrupt people's hunts.

But the girl shakes her neck to the side.

"Fine. There's no information out there, and that was confusing. Never mind. Take your share of the drop."

"But..."

"It's okay. If something bad happened to you here, you'd hesitate the next time you help someone, wouldn't you? I feel bad too if it's too late. You did a good thing. That's what we all get better at. Okay?"

"Oh, oh..."

When they told me that, I had to back off.

Cocor drops by softly and whispers.

"I'm glad you're a good man"

"Right."

I'm more of a reasoned thinker than that.

In a black robe, a cane. The big hat is now off and exposed to lightly braided blonde hair.

It looked like a magician, but that was surprising.

Either that or because the Mage was an image with many emotional people.

When I look back, the girl stares at me half-eyed.

"... you're a wizard, but you're rational, don't you think?

"Yes, no, that's it..."

"You think a little. Ha... because it's totally biased. If character is generally divided in a profession, the Mage is the one who has to be rational. Unlike axes and swords that don't go away no matter how much you shake, this one has to choose magic while watching the diminishing MP and their attributes."

"Well..."

Regardless of prejudice to the profession, it seems certain that the girl in front of her is a rational personality.

That's right, I open my mouth to ask what I cared about.

"But you..."

It's Melina.

"... bad, if you say so, you didn't name it. I'm Alvin the Swordsman. This is the priest's cocoon. We meet here, we're having an extraordinary party."

"Nice to meet you."

I get back on my mind and ask the girl I named Melina.

"Mr. Melina. You said earlier that there wasn't any information out there on that sharepoint... maybe you found it?

"Yes, it is."

"That's amazing."

I honestly admire it.

Yeah, so is my knowledge of terrain and monsters to find a place like that, but I'm going to need some sort of agility.

Such tastes, which differed from the levels and skills seen as status, were also important to adventurers.

"Hey, are you going to be a full-time mapper or something?

"Mapper? No. I just happened to find it over there. 'Cause this dungeon is just for diving."

"What can I do for you?

Listen to that, I ask terribly.

"Maybe... you too, to defeat the boss of this dungeon?

"No way."

Melina replies with a laugh as she mocks herself.

"Even in a small dungeon like this, the boss just can't do it with a Demon's Solo. I mean, it's gonna be pretty good, but I'm gonna need a party."

"Or so it is."

Indeed, the Mage is not a solo oriented profession.

I was just wondering... was I thinking too much?

But then Melina went on and said:

"But I'm going to attack you one day."

"Eh."

"It's me, I've dived here many times mapping and I'm going down a little bit. On the day of the offensive production, you want to know the structure of the dungeon so you can go as far as possible without wearing it down to the boss room. I was hunting emerald golems over there simply to make money. It's not working efficiently, but no one else is coming, and you can make money anyway. Because it takes a lot of money to hire a strong adventurer"

……

In the meantime, I have a natural question.

"I see that, but the... party members, shouldn't they normally recruit? You seem pretty capable from what I've seen, and I think you're gonna have a high enough level of adventurer dropping by. You don't have to hire anything for money..."

"Phew... no"

Melina laughed, mocking herself again.

"I'm not the kind of person to throw a party. Pay a fortune and hire a temporary helper just for the boss fight. You should keep it to that extent... it's dangerous."

……

"I wonder if you two have ever heard such rumors. The Sunset Cave boss drops items that erase the skills he has...... This is the truth, as long as you've dived many times and gathered a mysterious collection of scripts (flavored texts). I need that item."

Melina says, go on.

"Because I have negative skills"

That meant my hunch hit.

"The skill of [Blessing the Jealous God]."
