Transition to Another World, Landmines Included

334 Into the Rock Mountains (5)

"Ooh... Crate. Since what time?

"Except for the boss room, it's been found on the 10th floor, so it's been a long time."

It was Yuki who gave me an immediate answer to my words.

Right, was there that much time between them?

I had found many up to the 10th floor, but it has been shabby for a while now, is it because of the meadow area that has been going on?

Potsons and crates on the meadow.

Speaking of not matching, not matching.

"I'll look into it...... oh? This..."

"What's up?

It was Natsuki, who immediately began to examine the crate, but leaned his little neck strangely and called me, giving way to the front of the crate.

"Nao-kun, would you like to see it?

I checked the chest as they told me...

"- Could it be that a trap is set?

"Right? It's a trap, isn't it, this?"

Crates that have been opened many times before.

None of that was just a trap, a confirmation task that felt 'once and for all'.

But still, he didn't make a mistake doing it.

"Poison needle, right, this"

"Right? Trying to unlock it feels like it's popping up."

A key hung on a crate, sticking a wire in a keyhole or something to unlock it and chattering, poison needles fly from it, that type of trap.

"Ooh, first keyed! First trap available! Don't get your hopes up in there!

"No, it's me or Natsuki dealing with that?

Don't tell me you're happy? Toya.

- There's a part of me that I kinda agree with.

"That's just a trap for poison needles to fly in, isn't it? Then why don't we just point it towards the wall and open it from behind?

"... no, you can, but Yuki, you don't have a body or a lid?

If there is a trap, disarm it.

If it's locked, open it.

Such a gaming promise, totally ignored.

But in fact, there are all kinds of tools used to harvest wood, so it's possible to open them, and there's a way to cut the lid off with my "spatial separation (plain shift)".

I do......

"No, let's try to disarm it. Anyway this time, if you're thinking about the future, you might need to improve your skills"

"I agree. If you're in a situation where you can afford it, you should do it"

As metastases are currently being inhibited, there should be no harm in being prepared for situations where magic cannot be used or where you do not have all kinds of tools. If you're going to continue being an adventurer.

And not a nutcase, but when the bad guy catches you and runs you out of the barn?

I don't want that opportunity to happen.

"Right. If it's a poison needle, there's my Poison Cure, and it's probably gonna be okay."

"If Nao and Natsuki are good, is there any reason to disagree with me?

"Well, I'll try. Oh, stay away from me, except Nao-kun."

Me and Natsuki lowered the Hulkas, illuminating the inside of the keyhole in "Light (Light)," while discussing that it wasn't, uh, Ko, unlocked the trap and key, and tried to open the crate...

"Stone...?

What was inside the crate was a stoney object the size of which I managed to put on my palm.

It looks black and weighs like a regular stone.

Even if I flipped it, it still looks like a stone.

Touch your hands, and the rest are stoney.

"What is this? Toya, you understand?

I gave it to Toya because I couldn't make a decision, but he twists his neck, too.

"Which... stone?

"No, then I'll know."

"Show me too! Uh-huh...?

Turn from Yuki to Natsuki, Hulka and Meetiers in order, but everyone can't tell who they are.

Naturally, my [help] can only be judged as stone by Toya or Yuki's [appraisal], [alchemy] or [pharmacy] skills, so even modestly, it is' unidentified '.

And to put it in short, it is' just a stone '.

"What are we gonna do?

That's what Toya asks with her pom pom and “stone” in her hand, but we can't give an answer, and we roar face to face.

"Hmmm... if it's really just a stone, then naturally I'll throw it away... is it in a chest? Just a stone?

"It's hard to think, isn't it?

"Yes, it even has a trap in addition to a key, and garbage means anything is mean..."

Normally, I'd say, 'It's impossible,' but it's all kinds of mean, this hierarchy.

"- Well, troubles aren't going to solve it, and let's just take it back. Fortunately, the weight doesn't really matter to us."

"Right. It's best to have a professional look."

"Alright, roger. It's a shame, but get back on your mind and let's go next! Next!"

We also nodded to Toya, who slapped her hand on bread, bread, and changed the air, and threw the “stone” into the magic bag to resume our exploration...

"Hey, stone again, huh?

"Right."

Continue your exploration while eliminating Stone Golem from then on, three more days.

There were a total of five crates found, but it was always stone to come out of them.

For the first two or so, we all used to make corrections, but after that, we took them from the chest and went straight to the magic bag almost intact.

Every crate has a key and a trap, which makes it more skillful, but since it's the stone that comes out, the tension of the party members is down.

"Then clean this up in your bag too..."

"Wait a minute!

When Toya grabs Gasili for trying to throw the stone into the magic bag as it were, she takes the stone out of my hand and stares at it seriously.

"What, Toya, is there anything you care about?

"... oh, this is the original stone of Garnett"

"Garnet...... Huh? Gems? Seriously?

I'll take back the stones of Toya and put them in the light... this, the gem?

It looks a little red and black, but that's it.

You don't look like a gem to me.

"Hey, hey, Nao-kun? Can I see it?

"Yeah, you can't overlook the jewels."

A group of women who had almost completely lost interest in the stone that kept coming out sparkled their Russian eyes and approached me - no, they're approaching.

"Ooh. Take a full look."

There is nothing good against it.

I understand that, when I give the stone I had to Hulka, I pull myself back and retreat to the side of Toya.

The received Hulka brilliantly illuminates the stone with a fortified 'light (light)' and peeks into it for all the women.

Yes, add Mary and Meatier.

Even if they're still small, they're interested in gems.

Although it seems somewhat subtle whether the interest, such as the meatiest, comes from being an ornament or money.

"Toya, [appraisal]?

"Oh. It's not like I saw it and judged it, and you can't go wrong"

"At first glance, it's just a stone."

"Just a little bit, though, I could see the jewel-like light. Maybe it's got another stone around it."

I see, does it feel like a block of stone containing gems?

"That means. The stones I've found so far are inside when I crack them."

"" "Wait (please)!!" "

The three Hulkas raised their voices, all together.

"I don't agree with amateurs getting their hands dirty."

"Yes. Gems can be vulnerable to out-of-the-box shocks. It's not advisable to divide it ourselves."

"Let's leave it to the pros!

"Ooh..."

I didn't mean to break it, I didn't mean to do it right now, but to the power of the Hulkas, I don't say anything extra, I honestly snort.

After all, do the Hulkas find the gems attractive?

Even though I could make enough money, it didn't look like I was buying expensive accessories... unlike the Toya I poured into the whorehouse.

"This is a treasure chest, and you're looking forward to going back to town."

"Yeah! 'Doesn't it matter what the crate is?' I was beginning to think, 'but I'm getting motivated by Russia! I'll take care of everything, Natsuki and Nao!

"Yuki's working hard on the mapping. Make sure there are no loopholes!

"Naturally!

Yeah, you have a different enthusiasm. Previously.

I... I'm glad to be gold because there have been unsold demons so far.

It might be a good idea to process the jewels and give them to Hulka, but they seem to have little chance of using them.

As expensive as the ring I gave you, it's hard to stand out, but I can only imagine a future that will attract trouble if you walk around the city wearing big jewels.

"... Mary and Meatier are still happy with the gems, too?

"I've never been on edge, so what... it's beautiful, isn't it?

"Oh, is that the level? Well, you don't get to see it."

Even me, except for the little things my parents had, I only get to see the real thing when I go to museums and museums.

Without TV or the Internet, most people would be to that extent.

Not to mention that there's almost no chance that Mary, who lived below average in this world, would ever get to see a gem.

There's a little gem on me and Hulka's ring, too, but I'm not showing it off.

"When Master Ilias attended the wedding. I wore it then."

"Uh, yeah. But at that time, I was too scared to be seen anywhere near it."

To Toya's point, Mary shakes her head gently as she nods.

Is it the policy of the Viscount Nenas family, and Master Ilias doesn't wear jeweled accessories while he's at home, as does the return to and from the wedding.

Master Ilias and Mary spent a long time together in carriages, inns, etc., but I guess they never saw the jewels nearby.

"Meatier is..."

"Gems sell high! So you can eat a lot of delicious food!

"I thought Meatier was a priority for appetite."

"Beautiful, but my stomach doesn't swell."

Suffice it to say.

It makes sense because it has financial value, and gems are not practical products, even if they are wrong.

At least in this world.

"- And Meatier says, what do you ladies think?

"... jewellery is the nourishment of the heart. No excessive metabolism, but good nutrition enriches my life."

Nutki and Yuki nod over and over again to agree with Hulka's answer, which I gave a little thought to.

I see. This one makes sense.

Originally, I'm not going to complain if it suits my height.

If you think about it, maybe Toya's "scatter" can also be described as the nourishment of the mind.

"Well, please, to the extent that it doesn't affect your body's nutrition"

"Absolutely. Yeah, sure. … let's do our best to continue exploring."
