5. Dungeon

One week have passed ever since I met that woman in my dream…it seems she really gave me a mimick ability

Luckily before I was stabbed to death by countless swords, the ability activated and saved me by devouring all of them and now, I can transform my self to any one of those swords.

Nanda is…of course enraged when he lost all of the sword in his cabinet but he can only sigh in defeat when he saw Eris crying while hugging me

Come to think of it, when I woke up back then… I felt like I wanted to cry. My body ache all over…at first I thought that it was the side effect of using but I didn’t feel any pain when using it continuously for a whole day (I was experimenting with the ability to see its limit)

It really bugs me…but I have to set it aside for now since I just heard something interesting

A new dungeon has been discovered

Nanda was dispatched by the country to investigate, and so Eris and I have to go with Nanda to the capital, since none of us have any source of income

We are going to depart in 3 days so I have to be prepared…oh man~ I can’t wait to enter a dungeon again after a long time! My adventurer spirit is burning sky high!

————————————–

“No, both of you are not allowed to follow me to the dungeon!”

“Ehhhh….”2x

Eris and I said that while making a disappointed expression, well not like he can hear nor see my expression…and I’m currently being hugged by Eris (she is puffing her cheek…cute) while sitting on the sofa so it adds to be More unconvincing

“Why?”

“Because it will be dangerous!”

“I’ll have Kuma helping me!”

“He is a slime!!! The weakest monster! He can’t help you in any way!”

“Muuu…”

Ouch…that hurts…I can still hear you, you know ?

To think you can badmouth someone when that someone is right in front of you…that’s just cruel

This tale has been unlawfully obtained from Royal Road. If you discover it on Amazon, kindly report it.

(Eris, just give up…if you keep pestering him you’ll just get scolded later)

“Eeeh…but Kuma san…”

“See? Even Kuma think it’s not okay for you to go to the dungeon”

Of course it’s not okay, what can a little girl do? She will just get annihilated in the first floor

(C’mon Eris lets go and buy some food to eat, you are hungry right?)

“Okay…”

“Then I’ll go and meet with the expedition captain, take care of Eris for me Kuma!”

And then he left…

Okay, we are going to spend the rest of the day shopping I guess…

It was noon when we arrived, and we spent 3 to 4 hours just to search for an inn and unpack our bags. Luckily I didn’t bring anything with me since I’m a slime

But I’m surprised…Nanda is quite rich huh…

He gave us 5 gold coins for shopping and the inn we settled with is also a bit high class…

In my past life there are many kinds of coins that can be used as currency, starts from copper coins, to silver coins, gold coins and then royalty coins.

Copper to gold are useable by peasants and adventurers to nobles, but royalty coins are only useable by nobles

Back then the value for the coins are like this…

1 gold coin is equivalent to 100 silver coins

1 silver coin is equivalent to 100 copper

And 1 royalty coin is equivalent to 1000 gold coins

It seems they abolished the old system and made a new one…they took copper, silver and royalty coins out of the picture and then introduced the ‘Q’ or paper money to make a more fair commerce

And now, the value are like this

1 gold coin is equivalent of 100Q

Just that! Simple right? It made shopping easier and we don’t have to bring large bags of coins everywhere we go again~

Just slim and small wallet is enough! 

And so we bought…quite a lot actually, bread for breakfast, rice, salt, sugar, flour, some vegetable and meat…we spent 98Q today…so we have 4 gold coins and 2Q left! 

Right now I’m at the inn looking out from the window alone, Eris said she want to talk with the lady receptionist downstairs so I let her go

Haaa…. with nothing to do i can only stare at the moon and watching passerby on the street below…huh? Isn’t that…Eris?! Where is she going at this hour?! 

……

Damn it! She’s going to the dungeon isn’t she?! I’ve got to hurry and stop her!

I quickly go to the inn entrance and chase after Eris 

I gather magic power on the bottom part of my body and I released it! Just like at the waterfall, i use magic power to propell me to the air! 

But…even with this, I might not be able to catch up to her…she might not look like it, but she’s  really good at using magic…a prodigy

Especially dark and enhancements magic, she can use them like a pro adventurers does even though she is still small

Even though she is a prodigy, she still can’t use magic to fight…or to kill to be exact

I heard stories about her past from Nanda

Tragic…that’s the only thing that I could say

That’s why I have to hurry before she can reach the dungeon site

With that thought I cushion my fall with magic and then propell my self forward

————————————-

Here it is! I can’t find Eris anywhere when I’m on my way here, so she must be here!

!

….

I…

“Let me go you bastards…!!!!!”

“Nanda san! Snap out of it! We can’t let you go inside alone! At least wait for reinforcement from the outer ring”

“I can’t wait for anything you motherfuckers! Eris is inside the dungeon!”

I’m too late…
