To Deprive a Deprived Person

Episode 34: Rank Up

When I wake up, I chop on my face because Nina was sleeping beside me.

"Fuckin '" screams Nina up in tears. Lena is still asleep, she must be tired.

Lena also woke up when she was washing her face and changing clothes, so I give her the "Ring of Life" I got yesterday in the labyrinth.

"Hey, gear this up"

"... it's Lena who's not coming.... What's this?

"Fixed will increase HP by 50."

"... one of the gear I want so much that I can get my hands out of my throat for a guard position with so little HP"

I noticed that Lena had asshole hair on her head. Usually hidden, but seems to pop up by emotion. Looks like I'm happy because I'm booming left and right now.

"Nina, take this"

That said, I give you the 'Steel Dagger' and the 'Item Pouch' I got yesterday.

"I'd have an item pouch and a steel dagger, wouldn't I?

"I dived into the labyrinth yesterday and found out that there's a salamander. Weapon of the Fire Class is hard to deal damage, so use it separately by the target. The item pouch should also be used separately for materials and recovery POTs. They were both relics of the adventurers who died in the labyrinth."

The moment I said the artifact, Nina was frightened, but I don't know what the artifact is, but it doesn't change the effect.

Breakfast today, beef stew on bread? and a salad. The meat inside is soft enough to chew it off with your lips and the meal goes on.

After you finish your meal, head to the guild. It's a sale of the material we got in the labyrinth and a check to see if there are any quests you can take in the labyrinth. When I get to the guild, I'm a bunch of adventurers.

The receptionists at the counter are also busy looking after the response, so in the meantime I will confirm the quest, but found no labyrinth-related quests.

The counter is empty, so I'll line up with Mr. Colette. After a while the order has turned so I say hello.

"Good morning, Mr. Colette"

"Good day, Mr. Colette."

"Good morning!

Mr. Colette is full of energy in the morning. Is Lena weak or dull in the morning?

"I'd like to ask you to buy some materials, would you prefer to do so later?

"No, I'm calming down, so I'm fine."

Remove the material from the item pouch. Poison grizzly fur, devil monkey/great devil monkey claws, fangs, tail/salamander skin.

"You were at the labyrinth yesterday."

Looks like Mr. Colette noticed where he was going from the material he put out.

"This is... material from the Great Demon Monkey! Did the three of us get knocked down?

"Yeah, that's Yu alone ~"

"Hi, are you alone!? Okay, I'll leave your guild cards with you."

Me and Lena put it up in the E-rank this time. Nina is also close to being D-ranked if she stays this way.

"Then this will be the purchase price"

The price of the material sold totaled four gold coins, seven silver coins and eight semi-silver coins. They don't mean even the boss's material is expensive.

"Mr. Colette, are there usually few quests related to the labyrinth?

I didn't find any quests related to the labyrinth, so I'll ask Mr. Colette directly.

Nina is playing with Lena's hair on the side. Lena still seems to be sleepy and left to be mocked without resistance.

"Is this a labyrinth-related quest? The labyrinth is so tight that demons rarely come out. So you don't have a crusade quest first.

The next material will be the main one, but if it's a labyrinth in Gorgo, Benanthos' stomach, which emerges from the basement 21F, will be bought by the Alchemy Guild, won't it? But for some reason, you didn't ask me to do it on the quest, did you? If it's a labyrinth above C-rank, you'll have a material buying quest. "

As it stands, there are no quests in the D-Rank Labyrinth. And Benanthos' stomach? I think I saw it somewhere...... Ah! There must have been a Benanthos stomach in the ingredients in the item pouch. This gave me good information.

"Thank you, Mr. Colette!

"Eh! Glad you could help."

"Wow, what a rare smile."

Mr. Colette has a bright red face, and Nina says rude things. Even I laugh when I'm happy.

"Next time, I'm going to the old man at the blacksmith's."

"Ho."

"... ok"

When I head to my old man at the blacksmith, there's still no crowd, and I'm not sure if the shop is open or closed.

"Grandma, are you there?

"Whoa, boy, what's up?

I take the aug skin out of the item pouch, it's a good amount because it's for three.

"Shit... it's the skin of an ogre, and it even mixes with a subspecies"

"Now we can build shirts and trousers?

"Shirts and trousers with the skin of an orga!? That's a luxurious way to use it.

Better than that, the kid's boots are worn out. Take a look at the gear, too. "

Leather boots were worn out when I used Demon Fist.

When I gave my old man my gear, he was amazed at how much I was using it in just two days.

At Grandma's suggestion, I had my shirt, pants, boots. Nina had her shirt, hot pants, and Lena had her shirt and shoes made.

"Grandma, how much is it all?

"Right... what about the extra skin?

"I'll raise it because I don't want it."

"Ho, is that true! Then you can have one gold coin."

Grandma was thrilled and went to the back of the store when she got to work quickly.

After the store and heading to the labyrinth, the entrance is still encouraged by the grantor and the merchant to do business.

"Boy, don't you want some grant magic?

"You remember the new one?

Grantor's old man, laughing when he comes around, arms up and leans back.

"I thought you'd say that! How dare you learn two new granting magics!

(You're a handy old man...... I wonder if you can remember me more and more at this rate)

"The new thing I remember is the granting magic that increases attack and defense."

"Hang those two on me."

Give the Grantor's old man two pieces of silver and have him hang the grant magic. According to the old man's explanation, the Attack and Defense will increase by about 5% each.

A little further from the entrance, he hangs the grant magic on Nina and Lena.

"... remember again?

"I remember, but don't tell me where people are."

Anyway, there are adventurers in the labyrinth here, so I don't know where or who's listening, so I'll stab the nail.

Lena is checking on her guild card to see how much her status is up.

"... yeah, it reflects both the granting magic and the effect of the ring of life"

When I saw Lena's guild card, it was thin but covered with magic.

Lena, who noticed my gaze, explains it with a Doya face.

"... if you cover it with my magic, there will be no leakage of information to the Alliance"

Is that true?

"... because I, the genius, say so, for sure"

Certainly from the guild card covered with magic, there is no magic leak. I heard that. Nina is imitating it quickly. Soon Nina will also control the magic.

Have Nina and Lena gotten used to the labyrinth too, knocking down crisp demons.

What surprised me was that when Lena was about to hit the attack, she was preventing it with something like a wall of magic.

"... huf, as there is' fighting 'in the avant-garde position, there is' junction 'in the rear guard position"

Even then I get frustrated with Doya's face.

Whereas the avant-garde position increases physical ability in 'fighting', the rear-guard position increases defense in 'junction'. Some high-ranking adventurers say they use both. Lena learned the line, so she wouldn't die in one shot.

"Lena, that's amazing - I learned some new moves too"

When Nina said so, the Cyclops' neck had been severed at the next moment, flaunting the Cyclops' attack she was fighting.

"Ehehe - how's it going? Amazing!"

"... magic?

Lena didn't seem to see Nina's movements, but that's just how good she is at handling magic. Okay.

"Lena, did you see that? Mr. Lalit taught me. I actually use steel spider yarn or something, but you see, I don't really use MP, and when I tried to see if I could replace it with magic, I could do it."

Nina stretched her magic as thin as a thread, wrapped it around the neck of the cyclops and cut it, but it moved fast, and it was a terrible move such as cutting the neck of the cyclops with that thin threaded magic.

I dived back to 6F underground without danger on this day. I only produce potions with grant magic updates and alchemy.
