Having discovered a fountain of spirits that can grant the shadow attribute, I decided to report it to the Adventurers' Guild. I returned to the ground with three G-level adventurers from the boss room and went to the Adventurers' Guild.

　I was told that the Adventurers' Guild branch manager here was a man named Kuruma, and that he was an excellent man. I left the three of them and headed for the branch manager's office.

　I knocked and got an answer, so I opened the door. Inside were a man in his fifties and a woman in her thirties who appeared to be the branch manager. I greeted them and introduced myself.

　As I said, the man in his fifties is the Kuruma branch manager, and the woman is Suzaku.

Vermilion Bird (god said to rule over the southern heavens)

He said he was a B-level adventurer named Hiyori.

If you're in the middle of a conversation, I'll come back.

No, her business is done.

　The branch manager looked at her, and Suzaku nodded. But she did not want to leave,

I'm interested in being a B-level adventurer who is a living magician. I'm interested in a B-level adventurer who is a living magician."

　I cowered my shoulders and agreed.

So what can I do for you?"

　Branch Manager Kuruma asked.

I dove into the desert dungeon today and came away with some new discoveries to report."

　Suzaku turned his sharp gaze on me.

"You're ...... kidding me about the new discoveries in the desert dungeon. There haven't been any new discoveries there for decades."

　She was a woman but used language like a man. Branch Manager Kuruma asked with a calm face.

Grimm, you had a B grade. Is that finding going to be an achievement for you to become a Class A?"

　I chuckled.

'It's not enough of an accomplishment to earn us an A grade, but I think it's an important finding.'

　The branch manager nodded slowly and asked what the finding was.

The fountain of spirits in the boss room in the desert dungeon was the one that granted the shadow attribute."

　Suzaku and the branch manager looked like they didn't get it. It seems that they did not understand what it meant to grant the shadow attribute.

Do you two know what a shadow puppet is?"

Enjoying this book? Seek out the original to ensure the author gets credit.

Of course I know. But I've never seen the actual thing."

　The branch manager said with a reluctant look on his face.

　I thought it would be better to let them see the actual thing first, and as I was about to take Tamegoro out of the shadows, I remembered the reactions of the three G-class adventurers.

I'm going to bring out my shadow puppet now.

'Hoh, I've never seen it before either. I guess it's a good thing I stayed here."

　Hearing Suzaku's words, I brought Tamegoro out of the shadows. The two seated men stand up as a large black bear appears in the branch manager's office. The branch manager takes a defensive stance, and Suzaku takes out a large shield and holds it up.

　I chuckled and looked at them.

I thought I told you I was going to bring out my shadow puppet."

　Hearing this, the two of them returned to their original positions from their defensive stance. Seeing Tamegoro rubbing his face against mine in a pampering manner seemed to have contributed to his lowering his guard.

I'm sorry. I thought the Shadow Puppets were a little smaller."

　The branch manager said, a little embarrassed. Vermilion laughed bitterly.

This bear-shaped shadow puppet is my partner who protects my back in the dungeon. But I can't let this buddy hide in the shadows with armor or weapons."

　I had Tamegoro hold a silver dagger in his mouth with a holy attribute and tried to get him to dive into the shadows. However, although Tamegoro was able to dive into the shadows from the neck down, he was unable to dive into the shadows from the mouth with the silver dagger in his mouth up.

It's like this. So here's a knife with a shadow attribute."

　He brought Tamegoro out of the shadows, put a knife with a shadow attribute in his mouth instead of the sacred silver dagger, and made him dive into the shadows. This time he disappeared completely into the shadows.

I see. So if the equipment is equipped with the shadow attribute, it can dive with you into the shadows. I heard that there are many shadow puppets that want it. If it's that kind of equipment, it would be of great use.

　The discovery that the fountain of spirits in the desert dungeon grants the shadow attribute was to be recorded as my achievement.

　I go back once to the Shibupaper City mansion and wait for Elmore's armor and other equipment to be completed, and then I think about what I need to do.

Yes," he said, "we need to build Elmore's backup weapon. We also need to build Elmore's backup weapon."

　I produced five kilograms of the remaining white bright steel to create five kilograms of white bright steel ingots with piercing and slashing properties. I ask him to use about one kilogram of it to create the Kikuchi spear.

　Metis wanted a book on spearmanship, so I ordered it from the bookstore. After ordering what I needed, I decided to create a new magic.

What kind of magic are you creating?"

First, let's create the magic of life using the properties of sterilization."

I remember you mentioning the idea of magic incorporating the properties of sterilization in "D-Clean."

'Yes, it does. We won't know for sure until we try it, but we believe it will be very effective in eliminating mold."

'I assume you've removed the mold with your previous "D-Clean"?'

　Indeed, when "D Clean" is used, the mold is gone and it looks clean. However, as time goes by, the mold appears again. It seems that "D Clean" does not completely remove the mold fungus, but leaves it behind.

　This is not an option because mold fungi will remain even with normal cleaning methods. The only way to get rid of the mold fungus is to use chemicals to kill it.

　We set up a sage system and created a magic that incorporated into the "D-Clean". We decided to call this "Sterilize Clean".

　The inside of the house was clean because I had cleaned it with "D-Clean". So I decided to experiment in a small unused storage shed in the yard. Some of the walls were covered with black mold due to moisture absorption.

　I had been thinking of tearing down this shed, but was too busy to leave it. Go inside and clean it with "D Clean" except for the areas with black mold.

　This magic is a bit fun because it sprays out D-particles like a fire extinguisher, and the D-particles collect dust and dirt as they float away. In no time at all, the walls of the shed, which had been dingy and dirty, were clean.

　The cleaning is finished, leaving only the part of the wall where black mold has appeared. First, black mold on the right half was removed using "D Clean". Then, the left half was cleaned with "Sterilize Clean". Incidentally, "Sterilize Clean" is now a magic that can be learned at magic level 5.

'So now we wait for the results?'

That's what I mean. If the black mold is generated from the right side and not from the left side, then it is a success. It's going to take some time, so let's start developing the other magic."

　The magic was a kind of air purifier that we created together when we developed "D-Clean. It was a magic to remove dust floating in the air, but its effect was not clear at the time, so we left it unattended.

　I increased the number of D particles used in this air purification magic and created a living magic that incorporated . However, I began to wonder how to verify the results of this magic.
