Chapter 40-Rest and Treasure Chest

 

(TL:By Rafael)

 

 

"Delivery cut. I don't mind if you relax."(Yuki)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 Everyone exhaled at my words.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 It's hard to relax when you're "live streaming" the entire time you're attacking, so I told Benwood in advance that I'd turn off the streaming during the break.

 

 

 

 Nene, who is always on the alert, and Marina, who is in the vanguard, use this time to wipe their bodies.

 

 

 

 We can't expose their skin to the public.

 

 

 

"Oh, I'm so nervous and exhausted!Do you think this water is drinkable?"(Marina)

 

"I'm sure it's drinkable, but just to be safe, we'll use the water we magically produced."(Yuki)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 In a small room about twenty feet square, there was a small fountain with water gushing out of it, and the air was clean and holy for a labyrinth.

 

 

 

 The safe zone safety area, which is sometimes found in labyrinths, is an important base of operations for adventurers who want to attack the dungeon.

 

 

 

 In normal labyrinths, they are marked on the map and are the starting point for exploration, but in the Colorless Darkness, they change from day to day.

 

 

 

 It was quite fortunate that we were able to find such a safe zone safety area outside the stairway area.

 

 

 

"So far, so good. What about wear and tear?"

 

"I have consumed one of the arrows from the Stinger Joe heavy crossbow."(Marina)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 Marina declares while winding up the string of her heavy crossbow.

 

 

 This crossbow doesn't get wind up by me  even if I do a <physical enhancement ><physical enchantment> on myself. ......

 

 

"Arrows recovered, no wear and tear. "(Silk)

 

 

"Magic power is already restored."(Rain)

 

"No problem."(Nene)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 I examine each declaration and consider the progress.

 

 

 

 Basically, when the wear and tear reaches 40%, it's time to cut back on dungeon exploration.

 

 

 It's hard to recover from armor, arrows, and consumables, unlike magic power.

 

 

 

 I have taken some measures to deal with this, but not everything works out as it should in a dungeon attack.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 I want to remain vigilant and cautious at all times.

 

 

 

"What about the treasure chest?"(Marina)

 

"I'm not sure if I should 'live stream' this or not."(Yuki)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 As I look at the treasure chest at the end of the room, I twist my head.

 

 

 

 Of all the official investigation broadcasts, the only one that showed the opening of the treasure chest was the broadcast of Scordia's defeat of the floor boss on the fifth underground level.

 

 

 

 As I recall, the chest was only filled with gems and ancient gold coins, and didn't attract much interest, but ...... if you acquire a valuable item in the delivery, you might be in trouble.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 We're a C-ranked party, but we've received a special request to dive into the Colorless Darkness here.

 

 

 

 If we were to obtain a treasure from a high difficulty dungeon, such as an extremely powerful magical artifact, we would risk antagonizing the other adventurers and the party.

 

 

 

 On the other hand, if the rewards are clearly stated, some parties may be more willing to take on the challenge of Colorless Darkness.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 There is a rumor going around that "Colorless Darkness" is not very rewarding for the level of difficulty .......

 

 

 

 In the first place, it has been more than twenty years since the blockade, and not many people know what is really going on.

 

 

 

 If you ask my uncle, Benwood, Mamaru, or any of the other members who were there at the time, they might be able to tell you, but I've never asked them.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 Although the opening of the package is now a popular part of the distribution, it is not good manners for an adventurer to ask about the treasure he has obtained.

 

 (TL: Unboxings are popular in both worlds)

 

 Even if you're bragging about the wealth and glory you've acquired, it's not admirable to search the pockets of the silent ones.

 

 

 

"Okay, I've decided. Let's not do the opening ceremony."(Yuki)

 

(TL: No unboxing)

 

"Is that so?"(Silk)

 

"Yeah. I'll talk to Benwood about what to do when I get back. I don't want to make any unnecessary waves now."(Yuki)

 

"Understood. Then let's open it."(Nene)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 Nene, who seemed to have already checked for traps, put her hand on the treasure chest.

 

 

 

 The key must have been unlocked first, and the treasure chest opened without resistance, containing a variety of miscellaneous items.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 Several kinds of colorful jewels, ancient gold coins, dirty gloves, silver rings, and a "black box."

 

 

 

"It's a lot of stuff. I'll put the jewels and gold coins away for now and check out what's left  ......."(Yuki)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 I picked up the remaining items and focused my mind on them.

 

 

 

"Well, the gloves are just junk, not even the remnants of a magic tool artifact. The ring is something that has the power to stabilize your mental powers a bit. This box is ...... a little weird."(Yuki)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 As an alchemist, I'm reasonably familiar with appraising labyrinthine items, but I couldn't figure out what this small black box in the palm of my hand was.

 

 

 

 It was definitely a magic tool artifact, but I couldn't figure out what it was for.

 

 

 

 I don't even know if it's a box or not. It had a very smooth beveled surface, and I couldn't find anything to open it. If you say it is a slightly larger six-sided die, I think it might be.

 

 

 

 ...... It's all black, though, so I can't make out the numbers.

 

 

 

"It's a strange object. ......"(Yuki)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 It's kind of like a ...... thing that doesn't know what it is and is waiting for an answer.

 

 

 

 It is a magic tool artifact, but it has no function.

 

 

 

 Okay, let's call it "Black Box" for now

 

 

 

"Is it dangerous?"(Silk)

 

"No, it's not dangerous. It's just, this thing's like a baby, maybe."(Yuki)

 

 

"What, is it a baby of a magic tool artifact?I want it!"(Rain)

 

"Mu, I want one, too."(Marina)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 The puppy who gets interested in anything and the magic artifact Freak stare at the black box.

 

 

 

"I'll have to report it to Benwood first, since it's so unusual. It might be a clue to what's going on. Rain, come here."(Yuki)

 

"What is it?"(Rain)

 

"Here."(Yuki)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 I took her hand and put the Sanity Ring on her finger.

 

 (TL: We have a winner and so early...all other girls fans )

 

 From a distribution point of view, it should be distributed after returning and settling the accounts, but it is better to keep using the found items that can be used for ...... strategies.

 

 

 Rain, who uses a lot of magic that is directly affected by mental disturbance, should use this.

 

 

"........."(Rain)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 Rain froze,  I wonder if she's okay.

 

 

 

 I'm sure there's no curse on her.

 

 

"I'll let Marina take care of the box. ......"(Yuki)

 

"Really? That's great!"(Marina)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 I have no idea how they came to an agreement, but if it was resolved amicably, so be it.
