Nina stats and skills have improved once more . She has learned [Dual dagger] after wielding weapons in both hands . When she got this skill, her attack power has increased once again . Still, her growth rate is abnormal .

While she was training, I was practicing my [Alchemy] . I tried using Heal on clean water and it turned into holy water . When I used it in a potion, the effects were even further amplified . They can be sold at a higher price to a merchant . If I could mass-produce them, then it would improve my survivability .

Since my money is also accumulating, it might be a good time to replace my equipment . But, I will do so later, when I get to a big city .

Nina has become stronger so we went to 3F . The enemies here are Goblin Soldiers and Kobold Shamans . The Kobold Shamans white magic is troublesome . Because of that I helped her out every now and then . Of course, I tried to deprive the Kobold Shaman .

“Diee!”

“Ugyaa . . ”

Nina’s dagger landed on the Kobold Shaman’s neck . It continued moving towards the Goblin Soldier, when she activated [Dagger strike] . She was now capable of chanting skills silently .

“You have become strong . You could handle 3F now . ”

“I have said it before . There’s a boss here, so we should be alert . ”

At that time Nina made a joke .

“Maybe I could even defeat the boss . ”

We continued further in and saw a big room . We peeked inside, finding 10 goblin soldiers and knights . In the center stood a goblin three meters in height?

Three meters! I checked it’s status .

Huh? It’s the boss? How can his strength be so absurd? Are Ogres originally this strong?

“Yu . . How is it?”

“The boss is an Ogre . It’s skin colour is red, not the usual green, because it’s a subspecies . ”

Nina was frightened after hearing that .

“Let me continue . It’s lower level than us . It’s only level 5, but the status is abnormal and it’s rank 3 . ”

“Rank 3? That’s impossible . Rank 3 monster are for rank D adventurers to handle . ”

That day we decided to return home and gave up on fighting the boss . Someday I will return to fight it .

(TL note: finally a MC that know it limits . . Not like charging straight on and with miracle kill the boss . . If you know what I mean . )

I returned home while collecting some wild vegetables and nuts on the way . Grandma Stella is still recuperating, so it would be great if I could get some meat .

When I got back, grandma Stella was lying on the ground . Has something happened?

“Grandma Stella!”

“Stella!”

Nina and I hurriedly carried her to the bed .

“Yu, Nina-chan, don’t worry . I tripped when walking . ”

I tried to heal her, but there’s not much effect . I need to make a potion .

“Nina, please take care of grandma Stella for a bit . I will gather some herbs . ”

“Yu . There’s no need to do that . ”

“No, I’m really worried . ”

After that, Yu left the house .

“Yu and Nina-chan . . I’m happy to have met both of you . ”

“If that’s so, please get healthy . ”

“Nina-chan . . This is a perfect opportunity for us to talk . When you took a bath with Yu, you must have noticed . His body… . ”

“Yes I saw that…”

“I’m not related to him, but I took him in . . I know that he is a good boy . But what he has gone through . . It may have been hell . ”

Yu was running wildly in the mountains . He killed any goblin that was in his way . He needed to find some good quality herbs and he needed to do it fast .

——-

“Nina-chan . . It seems like you have become Yu’s friend . Now I can leave him in your care . . ”

“Stella! Don’t talk like that! Yu will come bringing herbs and you will be healed . ”

“No… Potions and such will not heal me . This is a special disease . Yu’s potion won’t work . . ”

“Stella, you already noticed that he made them?”

“I know that Yu is a great adventurer . I know that he hides some equipment too . Although he said that he is only gathering herbs, but he says so only because he doesn’t want to make me worried . ”

Although they were only living together for a short period of time, Stella recalled all the good memories she had made with Yu . She knew that he is able to use magic and has been progressing since then .

“I hope he will live without regrets . Pursue his dreams… Ah . . I think I’m almost at my limit…”

The door opened with force .

“What did you say?”

“Yu… Healing or potions will never save me . ”

Stella said that with her usual calm tone .

“LIE… GRANDMOTHER, YOU’RE A LIAR!”

Yu was shouting angrily, but Stella’s face remained happy .

“I never thought that someone would call me grandmother… I’m really glad… . Yu… . . ”

Yu didn’t want to give up .

“Heal! HEAL! No… It’s not enough… My Heal isn’t enough… Wait! I’ll come back…”

Once again, Yu left the house .

“Wait…”

“Nina-chan… You don’t have to stop him . . For now, I have something important to tell you . ”

Nina wanted to run after Yu, but was stopped by Stella .

Stella’s face was almost blue . She was about to die… .

————-

“FIREBALL! FIREBALL!”

Yu was launching skills in a frenzy and has killed many goblins in the process .

*shiiing*

He let out a [Sword Strike] and cut a goblin in front of him .

“HUAAAA! DIEEEE!”

In a rampage, Yu has killed over 50 monsters while depriving them of their skills .

“Monster that has white magic . There!”

Yu raided the dungeon without stopping .

That day villagers around Resser Village would hear the unceasing screams of monsters .
