The Hidden Dungeon Only I Can Enter

The lustful spa lodging is over and I'm back in the Stalgia family.

I'm home.

I haven't heard back. I guess they're all out in the store. I'll go help you if I get some rest, too.

I opened the room thinking so, and Alice was holding a sleeping pillow in my bed. Besides, it was a scene where I tried to kiss the pillow.

"... Alice?

"Ha, brother!?

She talks like nothing happened when she got out of bed quickly.

"Welcome home. Glad you're home safe!

"... yeah. By the way, what are you doing in my bed?

"Uh, actually, I couldn't sleep last night when I was thinking about whether your brother was safe or not... and when I realized I was here, to frame you for enjoying your brother's scent"

"Weird since the second half, huh?

"It smelled good!

I'll be in trouble if they tell me with my honey face. [M] I hope it's cute.

Alice doesn't have plans either, so I lock up the house and head to the store with her.

"With that said, Mr. Leila visited yesterday."

"What can I do for you?

"I was talking to you about fighting practice, but it didn't seem to be the right time"

Did you pay me a visit because you had time? You kept your promise properly, but I'm sorry.

He said he'd be back in a few days.

"Okay. I need you to do a proper audition next time."

"Oh, look at that. Tiger Maru is still working hard today."

There are still many people around Tiger Maru who call in front of the store today. Seems especially popular with kids.

"Deal! Deal! Deal!

"Oh, boy. I'm not a dog."

"Well, I won't buy you anything at the store."

"... I don't have a choice"

Tiger Maru is a loyal dog. Sit down. Shake your tail left or right to make it look like you're nostalgic.

"Turn three times next and say one"

"You want me to throw away my pride?

Then I won't buy you one.

"Turn around three times, one!

Tiger Maru... I'm going to cry after all the devotion. Actually, it's not Tiger Maru who contributes the most to rare shop sales. We need to help.

"Yes, guys, let's not play weird, shall we? I'm a proud lion."

"But Hannah's blooming on your head."

"Those are important flowers. You're also involved in how Tiger Maru is doing. Anyway, you don't have to come as a customer to treat me like that."

"Wait."

I hear there's something going on, and Tiger Maru's gonna punch me in the ear.

"That kid's parents are Tai Chi, and they're probably the best buyers. Damaging the mood is... '

"Really...?

"Oh, my God, I'm not buying you anymore."

A paralyzed child pointing his mouth. We need to get in a good mood here.

"Oh, I'm sorry. Uh, I wonder what it was."

"Do the lion warrior. Then I'll buy you one."

"I don't care if they say lion warrior or something..."

"Ride."

I don't know, but I cross my back. Funny thing, I got an extra order to do it, so I pull out my sword.

"The lion warrior of the Stalgia family, it's Knoll. Ah!

"Ooh, ooh, ooh!

"Ahahahahaha, funny"

About thirty minutes, me and Tiger Maru fought a fictional opponent as a lion warrior and his subordinate. No, they made me.

Rare shop at heart, but you can say the management is in good shape. Daily visitors are uninterrupted and the neighborhood's reputation is good. After all, the golden slime jelly seems to be quite a topic of discussion.

The aim there was a great success. I don't have much stock, so I'll collect it again.

And whether it's a ripple effect, it sells to fly to a handmade, unsure doll made by my mother.

By the way, his name is a frivolous doll. She said she was popular with young women. Does it feel like a bulldock?

After helping out until evening, I'll take a trip to the armor store in the meantime. He was just asking me to help him with the appraisal.

"Good evening, I'm Nor"

"You in the meantime...... I've been waiting for you."

"I'm here about the armor appraisal, is your time okay"

"Yes, of course!

Negotiate first to help.

"What can I say instead, if you can help me buy a shield..."

"If that's what I can do. We will also give you a discount if you prefer with something in the store"

Negotiations are in place. The shopkeeper pulled back once and arranged multiple protective gear on the counter after a little while.

He wants me to appraise four things: a longitudinal shield, an iron cage hand, a rusty helmet by the way, and a leather shoe.

"This is what the fallen aristocrats had and recently purchased in the ghost villages. It's a delicacy, but sometimes it comes off."

It will be the flow that I will tell you verbally and the store owner will make a note of it. Looks like we're ready.

"Which way should we go?"

"Give me this helmet first. It's rusty, but the previous owner seems to be a major guild S-class adventurer."

"Oh, wow."

"He said he wore it all the time, so I'm sure there's something about it"

Find out if it meets the store owner's expectations.... Wow, this is a good one. Two skills have been granted: [Robust] [Fire Resistance A].

When I tell the store owner, I am happy to try to hit the cedar hand.

"What the hell is a! It will withstand many fire magics or even work with dragon braces. Next time, take this cage hand."

"This cage hand... you don't have anything in it"

"No!? I bought it from a famous merchant for seven million rea..."

Have I been fooled? Because people use their reputation to work evil only occasionally. Maybe I was unlucky.

"And ho, that's all I can say. Get your mind back on it, get this one."

"Shoes."

Black leather shoes first look lightly at the bottom, etc. The construction itself is good. Well-maintained leather is also lustrous and beautiful. The key contents were given [handsome feet].

If you have this kind of skill, you will only be [handsome] while wearing shoes. Even barefoot feet are fast when attached to the person.

Nevertheless, it's not a good idea for people not to wear shoes and they're going to sell them for a high price.

"It's got handsome feet"

"Here it comes! It's exactly what I was after. During the journey, it belonged to a bandit who returned the favor. It would have been faster if we had escaped."

The store owner has a level of 4 and no combat skills, so I guess the escort he hired knocked him down. Looks like we have a lot of money because we're thriving.

"Then at the end of the day, take this shield"

"Store owner, you're nervous"

"Yeah, this was the best treasure. It belongs to a fallen nobleman of another country. I lent him money. It's a replacement for your shoulder."

Not every fallen aristocrat or person......

A blunt-colored iron shield can also be set up with one hand, but it is not easy to take around because it is long. I wonder if it's suitable for the style of fighting while carefully protecting it.

The appraisal turned out to be a big win.

[Robust] [Fire Resistance A] [Water Resistance A] [Wind Resistance A] was there, and it was named the Champion's Shield.

"This is a great one! It comes with four skills."

"Whatever."

"That, four? No, it was five."

"That's good!

No, not necessarily positive. Thanks for the curse. [Edit] So I'll look into it.

[Curse of Life Absorption]

Continue to deprive the living of their longevity.

Wow, this is the one... If you were attached to a human, you'd be dead soon.

So how about this one? I'm sure while you're touching your shield, you keep taking your life.

The owner who doesn't know about it cheeks on the shield with pleasure, so I hurry to stop.

"Please don't! You mustn't touch it."

"Why is that?

"The fifth skill is the curse system. Just touch it and you'll suck life out."

"What the..."

Quickly, when the store owner leaves, he stares at the shield with a look at something horrible.

"Speaking of which, he also told me that the previous owner would feel sick if he touched it for a long time. It didn't seem important because it was for viewing."

"It's a vicious thing that keeps depriving the living of their lifespan. As a shield, it would definitely be excellent."

"Sharpen your life and boost your defenses… So"

The owner gave a look. I guess you don't want to touch it anymore. Even cleaning up is a difficult situation.

"Are you selling it?

"Terrible. This still has its pride as a protective equipment store. I don't want to sell this to customers."

"Disposal?"

"I'd love to, but where did you throw it away..."

If you throw inadvertently, another person could be harmed. This guy is a pretty good guy.

I checked [edit] to see how much LP it would cost to disable my skills.

Five thousand, huh?

I got in a lot of hot springs, so I'm fine. I want an excellent shield. It's probably the best for me.

"Um, could you sell it to me?"

"When you treat a curse with knowledge?

"No way. I know someone who can break the curse. It doesn't matter if it's a little expensive."

"If that's the case... how about 10,000 Leas"

"Are you sure it's that cheap?

"We're selling defects. It's going to cost you to break the curse."

"Thank you, then take this"

I'll make the payment on the spot. Then I secretly deleted my curse skills.

"Why don't you use this to carry it?"

The attentive shopkeeper brings a thin wooden board. I pressed the shield with a stick and put it on top of that plate.

All you have to do is carry the board and you won't have to touch the shield.

"It helps."

Actually, I don't mind touching it anymore, but I'll keep the story flowing and acting.

"You may throw away the board."

"Thank you for your help. I'll use it again."

"Thank you for your help. I found my helmet and shoes available, and I didn't have to reduce my life any more. We look forward to using you again."

We both feel satisfied. It turned out to be a great purchase. When I leave the store, I take care of my shield.

Life expectancy doesn't diminish, it's just a strong shield. The durability is still there because it was for ornamental use, and the handle on the back is solid.

"With this, we might be able to attack ten layers"

Nice to meet you, champion's shield!
