Chapter 043

(TL note: somehow this chapter was jumping out of place . . I didn’t mind if the author divided it into three chapters instead of one like this . . This chapter seemed to be forced . . It feels weird . . )

After finishing the hunt at the large forest, we returned to the city Comer .

Along the way, Joseph’s eyes were red because of the sandstorm and shocked due to being chased by the goblin king zombie .

……

When we passed the collected herbs to Collet, she was surprised .

“Yu . This is amazing . ” and when she realized the quality of the herbs, she was even more taken back .

” Magic grass, moon grass, pokko flower, they are all in excellent condition . ”

” Collet-san, please calm down . ”

She was talking excitedly until some spit was coming out from her mouth, immediately her face turned red .

” Ah . . Sorry . . For me to be so rude like that . ”

” Anyway, what about the house I asked about before? ”

” Of course I didn’t forget . There are 5 properties that meet the criteria . ”

I looked at the paper she handed to me . Indeed they were all 50 gold coins for the down payment, some of them had a good size and has lots of rooms .

” This house is so large . ”

” Yes, it was an aristocratic mansion but it is located outside the Comer city wall so the security is lacking . Monsters may occasionally come so… How about this one? ”

Actually I didn’t care much about the security . [specter magic] could be use to reanimate the dead monsters to keep the house safe .

” Don’t worry . I’ll check them out right now . ”

” okay” Collet responded in a small voice . If it wasn’t for my [sharp hearing] I will miss that . She looked pretty down . Was it because after purchasing a house, she thinks that we won’t come here anymore?

“Alright, we’ll be taking our leave now . Since we will be staying in the town, we will still need your help Collet-san . ”

” Please leave it to me! ” She returned to her usual mood when she said that .

The next day, we were also doing some quests . Of course, Joseph was still following us . It was annoying . Our routine continued for two weeks . We still made some progress . Lena’s control of her [barrier] was now perfect . She could maintain it for several hours . Nina’s rank has increased from E to D too . Also the house preliminary inspection was completed .

Our choice was the splendid mansion that has 2 floors and a garden . There were some simple magic tools installed inside it but as I said, they were only simple magic tools .

“We have a new house ! ” (Nina)

” That’s my house . ” (Yu)

” It is big enough for 3 people . . ” (Lena)

Of course for 3 people it was big enough . From cleaning to purchasing furniture, a day was consumed . Seriously I need to hire a maid .

” fuuh . . The inn was better because we didn’t have to clean up, but the feeling of having a home is different . ” (Nina)

” I agree . . ” (Lena)

” You guys… What’s the point in purchasing a big house if you are just going to be staying in my room! ”

When I was lying down on my bed, Nina and Lena had also climbed up .

” I will die because of loneliness if I’m far from Yu . ” (Nina)

” Are you a pet that needs its master? ”

” sniff sniff . ”

And Lena started to sniff me . Honestly I gave up on these girls .

… . .

The goblin king seemed to be hunting smoothly near the house . He didn’t die when facing Joseph so that was good . Although it had no skills but no monsters around the large forest could kill him easily .

The next day, we’re heading to Labyrinth of Golgo again . Since Nina and Lena were growing stronger, we now may be able to go to the 21F after killing the 20F boss . At the entrance, as usual we saw the enchanter uncle .

“Yo . Long time no see boy . Don’t you need enchantments? ”

” Any new one? ”

” Fufu . . Fuhahaha! Of course, I could cast magic barrier, energy absorption and magic absorption . ”

Magic barrier of course, is to increase magic resistance . Energy absorption and magic absorption are to absorb some damage to reduce the damage done to HP and MP . This uncle may be a great person after all .

” alright, cast it all on me . ”

” Why is it always only you . ”

” anyway are you the only enchanter here? ”

” Yeah, it was better to go to a higher dungeon and camp there but usually higher rank parties already have their own enchanter . ”

Indeed, it was the basic supply and demand .

After we entered the dungeon, in less than 30 minutes we reached the 7F . After I applied enchantments on Nina and Lena, I returned to making potions .

” Today we will reach the deepest part . ” (Nina)

” It’s not a problem with our power . ” (Lena)

How could they be playing around like this .

Not long after, my” heaven’s net” caught some movement . It wasn’t a monster, it was human . Nina also noticed their presence by now .

“Hello . ”

It was a half human and half dragon man . He came with a dwarf and an elf .

” Hi, my name is Zero, the dwarf is Bol and the elf is Seya . How about we make a party? Bol can use the shield and Seya could use magic . I think we could be useful . ”

The dragon man approached with a smile but I took a posture that could attack at any time . Honestly it was too suspicious .

” Sorry I don’t have any intention to join . ” (Nina)

” I also don’t want to . ” (Lena)

The dragon man’s face then showed some discomfort, it’s more like disappointment to tell the truth .

” Why? From what I see you have a scout and a healer position . If we joined together, our strength will increase . ” (Zero)

” How about we try to fight a battle first? ” (Bol)

” It isn’t a bad proposal right? ” (Seya)

The dwarf and elf also tried to persuade us .

” Sorry but I have to refuse . ” (Yu)

Really they were too suspicious . Their equipment was bad even for a D rank dungeon . I tried to check their levels .

Dragon man was level 36, dwarf 33 and elf 35 . Their levels and equipment aren’t balanced .

” Alright, just let me know if you decided to change your mind . ” (Zero)

Even if he said that, his expression said the opposite . Then I only watched them walked away .

” Have they left yet? ” (Nina)

It seemed that Nina’s hate for man hasn’t healed .

” They were quite weird . ” (Lena)

Lena has experienced in a party before and it wasn’t weird for adventurers trying to recruit a healer .

” It is better to watch out for them . ” (Yu)

” Why? ”

” Their eyes are rotten, and I could smell a strong smell of blood . Maybe, they’re like me . . ”

Their eyes, they were the same eyes as the debt collector, the same eyes as my step father . They were rotten eyes . The same like me…

” hey . . What are you doing? ”

Nina was pressing her forehead against mine, her face was so close to mine .

” Yu’s eyes even if they are black, they wouldn’t be rotten . They are cute yo~” (Nina)

“… Yu doesn’t smell like blood . . Yu . . smells good . . ” (Lena)

Lena hugged me from the back and started to sniff my body .

Seriously, if it wasn’t for this weird position, I would have sent a flying chop to their heads .
