1.6 The Matter You Couldn't Easily Determined Your Future
Right now, I was sitting inside the bathroom with the frosted glass door behind me. What am I doing, you ask?
[Toru-sama are you there?] (Ria)
[Im here~] (Toru)
After the rampaging shower incident, she said she was scared if Im wasn't around. So, here I am....
There are basically no dangerous things in a modern Japanese living articles. But science and tecnology can be a dangerous thing for poeple of medieval level perhaps. So I decided to stay nearby until she was satisfied and the bath is over. She should take a bath slowly to warm up her cold body with water.
[How is the temperature of a shower?] (Toru)
[Its great. The soap for hair also generated a lot of bubbles. Artifacts made by Toru-sama are the best after I know how to use it] (Ria)
[I see, good for you!] (Toru)
While Ria was inside the bath, we are having a conversation like this through the frosted glass. Its unlikely that I can go to get her shield at this rate. I asked her about something that suddenly came to my mind.
[What kind of monster did Ria received paralysis poison from?] (Toru)
[Its a Goblin. I was knocked down after getting shoot by a blow dart, I guess] (Ria)
[I see, a Goblin huh] (Toru)
I thought Goblins weren't strong opponent but it's different from my game knowledge perhaps.
[The Goblin in this dungeon is special] (Ria)
[Special?] (Toru)
[It may not be a big deal for Great Wiseman-sama, but this abandoned capital of the underground empire, to be precise this Yomi dungeon was a dangerous place for any adventurer, or so I heard] (Ria)
I see. The dungeon that connected to my apartment is called Yomi dungeon huh. I got one more information that this dungeon in the abandoned underground empire was a very dangerous place.
[Even I didnt think an ordinary Goblin would attack me with a blowgun and paralysis poison. The monster in this dungeon is special. They are quick, smart, and....] (Ria)
[Is this different with the other dungeon?] (Toru)
[I have never entered any other dungeons. At least its completely different from the outside monsters] (Ria)
I see. This dungeon is dangerous on a completely different level. That real estate agent.... its really a defective apartment.
[I have a quite high agility status value for a knight. Even so, I cant catch up at all with the speed of a slime that running away inside this dungeon. The experience value is good as a rumored, but....] (Ria)
[Wh-What did you say!!!???] (Toru)
[Huh? Did I just say something strange?] (Ria)
There was something that peeked my interest from the conversation.
Slime that runs quickly and couldnt catch up at all or about a monster that give a lot exp point like a certain game? Thats one thing, but I was more curious with a different matter!
[You see, because I am Great Wiseman, I always use special method to see my status.... but how a normal person like you check their status?] (Toru)
If there is numerical status for each person, we could understand our aptitude or talent that we probably possessed. This is an intriguing matter for a Japanese person like me. We can avoid useless effort with this, but of course there is a possibility it also can make you frustated.
[Eh? Eeeh? Is there any other way to check your status?] (Ria)
[There is! There is! So please tell me how is Ria doing it!] (Toru)
[Ye-Yes. Just think about it in your heart and you will see the numbers, right? I mean, It was a providence made by God who created this world....] (Ria)
Bingooooo!! What a wonderful providence!!
[Eh? I cant see my status! Why!?] (Ria)
When I was overjoyed, Ria was grieved because her status didn't come out. Perhaps, I know the reason but let's tell Ria something a little convenient.
[There is magic inside my residental area that prevented people to check status. You can see it again outside this place, I guess] (Toru)
In a fact, I think Japans rule was applied inside this apartment. But outside this place prabably.....
[Thats good then] (Ria)
The sound of the shower ceased. I think she is going to enter the bathtub now.
[Ah thats right. There was an iron door behind a place where I found you collapsed but its closed, does any monster passed through there?] (Toru)
I think there is no monster inside this dungeons big room because the door was closed.
[Pl-Please excuse me. I escaped after I got hit by the paralisys poison and closed the door before I collapsed so no monster would chasing me. There should be a switch on the wall] (Ria)
As I thought, so there was no monster.
[When I carried you, I left your shield in the dungeon so I will going to get it] (Toru)
[Hmm? Please dont mind it! Im very grateful you have saved my life] (Ria)
[Its fine! there is no monster, right?] (Toru)
[Eh, yeah.... probably!] (Ria)
[Well then, please take your time inside the bath] (Toru)
I wore a helmet with a headlight that was put on the dinning table. I also took the pickaxe from my belt and held it in my hand. I put paper and a pen inside my pocket. Even I know my status, dungeon is still dangerous place to step in so I will take some notes.
I carefully make sure there was no noise from the other side of door and opened it slowly. I peeked out the door to confirm no monster around a couple times
[Yossha!! It seems good!] (Toru)
There is just a little tension remaining to step into the dungeon this time. I felt much more nervous to see my status. Is this possible? Or is this impossible? If I can see my status.... whether there is a biright future or a dark future ahead of me instead.
[Fwuuuuh!] (Toru)
Before confirming my status, I couldnt help but to take a deep breath first.
