The Hidden Dungeon Only I Can Enter

112 Stories Strengthen your peers' abilities

I've heard that there are people in the world who prefer human flesh to eat, but in fact, it's the only thing that builds disgust in their eyes.

Those who were burned yesterday are pitiful, and there must be many other victims besides. My brother told them that there has been a habit of eating people in the village of Tunnel for over three hundred years?

... Does that mean that the hero Gaien was eating people there too? Or did you jump out of the village because you didn't like that?

Anyway, you did a good job of coming back to Hornest in the morning with five satisfied bodies. I'm just past the town gate, and I'll say what I care about.

"Speaking of which, brother, why are you in that village? Different direction from home, though."

"Uh, yeah, uh, that's, uh, I have to answer, no?

"No. I took a risk, too."

"Yes......"

My thoughtful brother tells me everything.

She said there was a young, adorable girl out of town who screwed up her leg a little bit. When my brother approached her, he asked me to escort him because he wanted to go back to the village.

A little odd at that point, but my brother, who has no eyes for a pretty girl, sent me properly to the village to appeal to a gentleman. She thanked me and invited me to her house, and when I sat thrilled to see if I could finally get close to her, she took a punch in the face and lost consciousness.

"It wasn't a woman's punch..."

And when I woke up, I was in that collection. There's someone else on my brother who's been captured, and when he contacted me, he said it was after he was taken in the middle of the night.

My wrist was tied, but my fingers moved, so I could start the ring. The villagers said this when he was taken - it's your turn to eat you tomorrow, the village of Tunnel has been eating human flesh for over 300 years, he said.

Did he get scared and ask me for help? [M]

"I'm sorry, Nor. I didn't know I was going to call for help."

"Well, I'm glad you're safe. Let's go to the inn and rest first."

That's what I said and walked, but my brother didn't follow me at all. Look at me in tears in the middle of the road.

"You're getting stronger, Nor. You've grown. Awesome, true."

"I had a pretty hard life, too."

"I'll live more seriously, me and you. As Nor's brother, you'll be a man with a chest full."

"Let's start with women's issues."

"... yeah, abstain for a while and work hard on merchant studies and sword archery"

It's been a long time since my brother looked so serious. Let's hope it grows a lot from here.

I went back to the inn and reported Emma and the others the revelations of this incident. Everyone had their eyes round. And then I want to tell Master Showen that I'm sleepy, so I took a break first.

Sleep for about five hours and go to Master Showen's house after noon. Tell me about this one and ask me to get the villagers as soon as possible.

"That's my territory... but I can't decide on my own. Talk to the other nobles."

"There must be quite a few victims out there. So far, no rumors like that?

Asked that, he looked very complicated. Well, there must have been some kind of report. But I mean the village of heroes, and it was probably a policy not to punish them without proof.

However, the circumstances are different this time. We have two living witnesses, and they should just make a decent decision.

I then moved to the training ground and mixed up with the soldiers to encourage bow training.

"For skipping yesterday, I'll have this done today -"

What Lilica imposed on me was to shoot through the moving target with an arrow.

We're throwing balls at each other long enough for soldiers to fit in our palms, but we have to aim there. Two people with good shoulders are throwing harder, so they're speeding. Moreover, because the target is small, the difficulty is quite high.

"That's how much Nor can guess, right?

Is it on purpose, Mr. Lirica will stir me up? Maybe if you get upset, you lose. I shoot arrows calmly. [M] Removed...... but plundered.

"... suddenly, will you plunder,"

Yes! I wonder if the skills I created yesterday to adjust my vision to help my older brother will also help me shoot a bow.

Vision becomes important, especially when targeting distant enemies.

I calm down and observe the ball track. They throw in a constant rhythm, with less disturbance. Thanks to that, the next arrow stabs the ball in the air.

"Shurui! It took me three days to make this work."

Three days is amazing enough, and there was a scratch from the other soldiers.

This day, I continued this training and was corrupt about increasing accuracy.

At night, Emma comes to my room to raise her LP. He had fruit in his hand and fed it in a special way. Make some other exciting plays.

When we were thrilled with each other and in a strange mood, there was always a noise coming from next door and Laura asked for progress.

Anyway, thanks to you, the LP is accumulating well.

◇ ◆ ◇

My brother decided to stop returning home and stay in this town.

When the Great Demon March happened, he said he would run into the basement house he knew.

Even for me, I would love to. You decide to fight even though the strength of your enemies is unknown, and you have the most trouble dying. My brother is a merchant, so he doesn't have to fight anywhere.

Well, such the Stalgian brothers are summoned to Master Showen's home today to sit on the couch. There were several leading aristocrats to see for the first time, and the air was tingling.

"It seemed like there were multiple demons coming in this morning and they were about to break through the gate at risk. I'm sure the big march is approaching."

There is a bear under Master Shawen's nose. I'm busy day after day. Much more needs to be done, such as securing shelter for residents and issuing requests for support besides the Wang Capital. There, even the cannibal village case overlaps.

Gohon, and the aristocratic old man coughs and tells him otherwise that he wants him to get down to business. Master Showen took it,

"It's about the village of Tunnel, but I decided not to make any particular disposition"

"Why!? We're dying!

My brother gets emotional and gets up. But the aristocratic old man yelled at me to sit down.

From here, I will explain it in such a tone that the man is to blame, not Lady Showen.

"First and foremost, that's where Gaien was born. Who would believe that the villagers over there preferred cannibalism? When there was no evidence."

If you look, you may have about a bone, but it's certainly hard to prove that's the victim.

"Secondly, I can't trust the story itself. Did you say" Gillan "? I have a problem with your humanity."

"What did I do?"

"I looked into it, and it's terribly feminine. The Merchant School's grades are also below, and none of them have been particularly outstanding. A typical, untrustworthy person."

Au...... and my brother leaking a painful voice. It's true about this, and I can't argue with you. My brother has changed his mind, even if I say so, this man will end up laughing at me with his nose.

The aristocrats left the room saying they had nothing more to talk about.

We didn't carry on two sentences either, we just sat there.

"As soon as we get to that village, there will be people out there every year with interrupted news. That's also on birthday time. So I trust you."

Don't let Master Shawen's kindness smudge you. However, it is difficult to judge a lord alone, given his popular rebellion and so forth.

Even more so now, I have a bigger problem than a big march.

"When this thing settles down, we'll definitely get back to it. That's right, Nor. Doesn't that sound familiar to you?

I shake my head sideways. [M] That's the first word I've ever heard.

"Right. I heard you had a great sage. If I'm not mistaken, that would give you all the knowledge, wouldn't it?

"Yes, but I can't predict the future, and I don't know anything about it."

"I wonder, for example, how to open the double door earlier."

"Of course, you can ask."

"- Master Showen. It's time."

One of the guys who left earlier, he couldn't wait or he came back. Master Shawen gets up unfortunately and leaves saying he wants to talk to you later.

We drank the expensive tea together before leaving the room behind.

My brother said he would look into the villages of Gaien and Tonel in the library.

"I'll find out if Gaien was cannibal or if he didn't like it and left the village!

"I hope so."

I can't look into it. I want to keep my bow arms up a little bit. Today's training menu starts by putting the target in a side-by-side row and shooting it how fast.

Once you've cleared that, now put the apple on the soldier's head and aim there. Naturally, if it fails, it will be outrageous. Soldiers who are good at recovery are waiting nearby.

Still, all the soldiers were tearful and pathetic. When I succeeded in it all, the soldiers exchanged hot handshakes.

"What bowmen value most is a calm mind - It's important to feel like I'm going to shoot you through the hole. Ugh."

Lilica has an array of tones and personalities for her age, but she's very good at teaching. It efficiently brings out my potential.

At the end of my training, I observe everyone else's training.

Then we went back to the inn and talked about our abilities.

"I would first like to grant Mr. Laura [physical resistance] [escape foot]"

Laura is sometimes inexperienced in combat, does not fight in earnest, guides evacuation of those who have missed the escape, etc. Skills are important to improve your defense and escape skills to keep you from dying.

Laura agreed with me, so I grant [Physical Resistance B] and [Escape Foot].

"How about Emma, at the bottom of both short swords?

Since there are already medium-range systems such as wind strikes, emphasis will be placed on basic capability enhancement this time around.

"It's ok. Nice to meet you."

I edited her [Both Hands Short Swordsmanship B] to rank it up to A. This one has cheaper LP than creating and granting A directly.

And then there's Mr. Luna. In her case, she asked the person directly for the request. Do you prefer to raise your magic gun arm, or do you want special skills?

"Is it possible to have a skill called speed shot?

If you look it up, you can create it at 500 LP, and when you grant it to Mr. Luna, it costs about an extra 100 LP. The additional LP is low, I'm guessing, because Mr. Luna has high magic gun qualities. I have granted it without any problems, but I am a little concerned.

[Speedshot]

< I can shoot a very fast energy shot via a magic gun in a single shot. Not very powerful >

I wonder if it is particularly effective against pre-emptive attacks and less defensive enemies. I'm a little concerned about a single shot, as there's no choice but to be less powerful.

Only about 400 LP is required even if it is changed to a series in editing. I let my eyes shine when I told Mr. Luna about it.

"If you can afford it, it helps if you can ask for it."

Yeah, you could have improved without any particular problems. The three of us consumed about 4000 LP, but there was about 6000, so we can still afford it.

"Mr. Leila, do you want to reinforce something?

"I'm fine. What if Nor-kun keeps it in storage? It will help when you have a strong enemy or something goes wrong."

"I care, it helps"

If you accumulate it, you can destroy or rank down your opponent's skills when you have to. And then I guess I'll have to bottom up my abilities. [M]

"This evening, I'm on duty. Let's do our best to get Goon and LP in again."

Laura said with a dazzling smile. Will we do the same thing again today as during this time? My chest is pounding now!
