Melina opens her eyes when she hears it.

"Ya... sure, you will. But when I say give it back, it doesn't mean I can give it back to the person I'm supposed to receive it from? It will only be distributed evenly to party members other than you…"

"I'd rather not."

To Melina as she turns her face, I go on.

"Kill's accomplishments are not his own. Even the emerald golem I just defeated would have had a lot of cover for you. Monsters are to be defeated by the whole party. Yet...... the only person who gets a kill bonus is the one who defeated him. Isn't this one more irrational? As much as Kill's embezzlement is a source of rubbing, you've heard of it."

"... right"

Melina says, with a sigh.

"Instead, Cocor. You'll never get a kill bonus... but I guess you say that's fine."

"Yes! A cleric is not originally in the position to defeat a monster, and besides, I am level [80]! You don't need any more experience!

Cocor nods forcefully.

"So, Mr. Melina! Make sure you have a party..."

"But you can't."

The words were blocked by Melina.

"Forgot? My skills have another, debuff effect as well. If it's true, you'll be awarded a little bit of that to everyone in battle, and you'll take it all on. It's dangerous."

"No, I'm perfectly fine! I have level [80], right? Even if your status is halfway up, it's above normal clerics. I don't care about a little debuff! And... look at that."

With that said, Cocor begins chanting.

Eventually, with a slight effect, the debuff icon disappeared from Cocor's status display.

The priest girl says with her chest stretched.

"What do you say? It's the magic of Grant Effect Erase (Clear)! When the debuff gets heavy, you can turn it off."

"... that's not the one that even puts together and disables buffs to himself. And chanting is long, and it's hard to use during battle."

"What's wrong with that? If I were you, it would be as easy as finding and using between. Don't be with the clergy around there."

Melina and I will eat Cocor's words.

That was a rare, strong word for her, who seemed seemingly weak.

"If you can't afford that, you'll always do your job as a recovery job. If the WIS (magic) drops, the healing (heel) efficiency decreases, but it seems to have no effect on the MP, so I make up for it by number. Even buffs don't hang up. Absolutely, I'll work more than a normal cleric to show you."

"... why"

Melina tells me she's under pressure.

"Why, that's it...... You only have the disadvantage of me being in the party. I don't get a kill bonus anymore and it even takes a debuff. And yet, why?"

"... I don't like to bother anyone anymore"

Cocor answers with a tendency to nag.

"The clergy is precious and the restoration job is a must for the party, so I have never had trouble getting into a party before, even with such skills. But... at every party, I was in the way."

……

"Do you know how it feels to be sighed after the battle and open your status? It was really narrow shoulders for only one person in the party to rise to the level. And at the end of the day, clerics of lower level and strength than themselves take their place at the party...... I know it's no choice. But I was scared that I'd be able to turn the same eye to Alvin, who called me because of him."

……

"Compared to that, debuffing is no big deal at all. 'Cause that's something I can do! I can't give back any experience I've taken away, but I can manage to reduce my status depending on my ingenuity. It's much easier that way."

……

"Besides... I kind of feel destined"

"Huh...?

"That's the name [blessing of the jealous god], isn't it, Melina's negative skills? I was just jealous of other clerics... I wonder why it's that guy, not me. I have higher levels and adventurer (player) skills. You should remember a lot of spells too, but why..."

……

"Haha, I talked weird...... But it's true you need Mr. Melina. Please, throw a party together!!

That's what I say, Cocor bows his head.

Melina can swim her gaze to get lost.

"But that's..."

I could imagine both feelings.

In the meantime, you should send out another help ship.

"Mr. Melina. We're having a party right now. Why don't we just keep going with the dungeon for a little while?

"Huh...?

"At least I haven't had a problem with this party so far. Even you can move safer than a solo. Sooner or later, if you were going to go further down, you just have to think you're going to use us now. You just have to think about it after you get out of here."

"That may be..."

Melina kept her mouth shut to get lost for a while - but eventually, she said with a small grin.

"... ok. It could be a short time, but it's nice to meet you. Both of you."

"Wow! Ha, yes!!

"Oh. Nice to meet you."

Cocor is grinning in full, holding Melina's hand with a troubled expression.

For one thing, this will do.

I tried to open the status screen to check my current location, at that time.

I noticed a letter on the wall of the dungeon.

I'll come closer and take a look. Apparently, it's a flavored text again.

“The sword-wielding swordsman's power fades sooner or later. ”

“The eagle's eyes of the archer, who sees a thousand miles, blur. ”

“But the ▒▒▒ is still sharpened. ”

"Hey. Alvin"

Soon, Melina was coming next door with Cocor.

"You're gonna take down the boss, aren't you?"

"Oh."

"The drop item... what do you do?

Melina's words were cautious.

Perhaps you're worried about who in this will be able to erase their negative skills.

I answer.

"I think I'm okay. Though a small dungeon, it's hard to believe the boss drop is a consumable"

"He said it would be something you could use as many times as you want?

"Yes."

"I... don't think so."

Melina says quietly.

"Think about it. If that's an infinitely usable item, all the negative skills in the world will be able to erase their skills. If you take the royalties, you can make all the money you want. I don't think there's an item that's too convenient."

"That's... sure, yeah"

They tell me, I'm losing confidence.

Items you get in the dungeon are always balanced.

Powerful weapons are small in number.

Useful materials are rarely dropped by rare monsters.

And it is said that items that bring the dead back to life, that any monster can defeat with a single blow, and that create infinite wealth, do not exist.

From that point of view, I also feel that my expectations are a mistake.

But Melina goes on to say.

"But it also makes sense what you say. It's a little hard to think of a Boss Drop main item that just erases one skill. So...... it's expendable but only drops the number of party members. Doesn't this seem possible?

"Then...!

"Yeah. Maybe we can all erase our negative skills."

"I don't know, but you mean okay! Good luck with that then!

With the addition of Merina the Wizard and a threesome party, we walked out to the further depths of the dungeon.
