Chapter 185 – Dungeon Date (Middle Part)
“You’re amazing. As expected from a guild master.”
“Oh, no, no. I’ve only recently gotten this far…”
I don’t want to say this, but it looks like Serika could probably clear an A-rank dungeon on her own.
I heard that even S-rank explorers have trouble clearing A-rank dungeons on their own.
“Well, let’s get this over with quickly.”
“Yeah, let’s.”
Thanks to my Dungeon Master skills, I was able to show her the way, and the exploration progressed at a frightening pace.
On the way, we also talked about Serika’s unique skills and stats, but since we took turns killing enemies, the conversation was only partial.
“Oh, that’s right. I need to tell you about that.”
I remembered something I had forgotten to tell Serika.
“Uh, what?”
“This is about…”
I pointed to the Prayer Earring I had on my ear.
“It’s the Anti-Poison Earring I gave you, right? You’re still using it. Oh, if you want to give it back, that’s fine, you know?”
“No, it’s not.”
I took off the Prayer Earring and asked,
“Can you appraise it?”
“Sure, but…”
Serika used her Appraisal skill and looked doubtful.
She didn’t have Appraisal before, so she must have learned it recently.
Serika’s eyes widened when she saw the Appraisal result.
“What the hell is this?”

“The god gave me this as a reward for preventing the dungeon from collapsing.”
“…No way, that’s impossible. Oh gosh, where should I start with this…”
Serika rubbed her temples as if she had a headache, then said,
“To begin with, the whole story of getting a god to strengthen your accessory as a reward is completely out of the question…”
“Well, the existence of God itself is not known.”
Unlike the wealthy job world, the shrines in this world are, to put it bluntly, deserted.
Compared to God in the other world, who has an important job called changing jobs, God in this world seems to intervene only in special circumstances.
Since those special circumstances are almost completely unknown, it’s no wonder that no one comes to the shrine.
“Even if we leave aside that God story… what is ‘complete prevention of all abnormal conditions’! I’ve never heard of an accessory that is completely resistant to all abnormal states!”
“So that’s the case.”
“Of course it is! If such an accessory were found, every explorer would want to get their hands on it, no matter how much it cost. No, if they tried to get it with money, that would still be better…”
“Yeah, it seems like there are people who would think, ‘I’ll just kill him and take it.'”
“Well, it says it’s only for Yuto, so there’s no point in taking it… That ‘only for Yuto’ thing is pretty weird, too.”
“Is there some kind of binding equipment in the game?”
In MMOs, there are also items that can only be used by the person who obtained them and cannot be bought or sold.
“Of course, just because you don’t know about it doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist. Even if it is found, it doesn’t mean that it will be announced.”
“That’s right.”
I wouldn’t go out of my way to publicize the fact that I have these Prayer Earrings.
Even if people knew that they were just for me, there would still be people who would try to get them for research or something.
First of all, I can’t think of any reason to give up this ultimate device that is so comfortable.
Especially when I think of Serika and God’s feelings, it’s unthinkable that I would throw it away!
“But the strangest thing of all is this! What is this, ‘When Serika Akenojo is in a tight spot, it will automatically teleport to her side’! Why is the effect of the item only for me?”
“According to God, um, well, it seems that the effect was added because this accessory contains Serika’s feelings.”
“M-my feelings…?”
Serika’s face turned red as I explained it a bit awkwardly.
“Well, anyway, I just wanted you to remember the effect of this accessory. Even if you don’t know about it, it seems to activate anyway, but it’s like an insurance policy for you, right?”
“Well, it’s a little dubious if I want to get Yuto involved in a situation that puts me in a tight spot…”
It’s true that if I’m called into a situation that Serika can’t handle, there’s a possibility that we’ll both be in trouble.
It’s a little hard to imagine a situation I can’t get out of right now, but if you put it that way, there aren’t many situations where Serika would be in trouble, either.
“But I can’t help but feel uneasy when I think that Serika might be in a difficult situation without my knowledge. Even if I can’t do anything, it’s still better than not being able to rush over to you.”
“Yu-Yuto…”
Serika murmured in a fading voice and turned her tearful eyes to me.
Her reaction made me realize that I had said something rather embarrassing.
“Ah, no! That’s not what I meant…!”
I tried to deny it, but when I thought about it, it could only mean what I had said.
I had just spoken my feelings as they were.
“…Thank you. If you were in trouble, I would want to rush over to help you even if I couldn’t do anything. But it looks like this accessory can’t do that.”
“I guess so.”
For me, I could say that I don’t want to involve Serika in the predicament I’ve gotten myself into.
“What does that mean? It means I can teleport to wherever you are, right? Teleporting is already pretty crazy, but it’s crazy in two ways…”
After that, I continued to make good progress through the Shinjuku Central Park Dungeon with Serika, who said, “Being with Yuto destroys my common sense…”
