Episode 63 Fifth layer treasure chest

"Even if it moved ... It doesn't seem like there's anything wrong here."

Shou approached the corner of the room and observed. It looked the same. We hit the walls and the floor. There were no abnormalities on the walls, and there was only one place on the floor where the sound was different.

When we hit it hard, something like a tile came off, revealing a hole. The sign I felt was that the lock on this tile had come loose.

"There is a lever in the hole."

When I say that, the three of them compete to peer into the hole.

"This, is it possible?"

Susumu raised his voice with excitement. Shou and Yui also nodded.

I was getting a little excited too. But there was also the fear that it was a trap. So I decided to let Susumu pull the lever. He would pull the lever while using defensive muscle magic.

We cheer Susumu on from a distance.

"Hey, isn't this really dangerous for me?"

I decided to give him a word of advice.

"Don't think, feel ... No, if you feel danger, run away."

Susumu pulled the lever desperately. At that moment, the ceiling popped open and a treasure chest fell towards Susumu's head.

"Uwaa!"

Susumu desperately avoided. The treasure chest hit the floor and the lid opened, scattering the contents.

"The mind of the person who thought up this trap is twisted."

After I gave my impressions, I checked the scattered items. One was a shield made of holy silver. It was shaped like a baseball home base.

You could be reading stolen content. Head to Royal Road for the genuine story.

I lifted the shield. It was quite heavy. Shou and the others picked up the other items. There was one primary healing magic potion and three Orc gold coins.

Shou and the others gathered around the shield I was holding.

"It's a holy silver shield, isn't it? Isn't it very expensive?"

Susumu asked with rough breathing.

Shou nodded.

"That's right. I think a shield of this size is tens of millions."

Hearing the amount, Susumu raised his hands and let out a shout of glee. Yui and Shou were also excited.

I was fairly calm. Because on my left middle finger, I had the over 100,000,000 'Ring of Double Efficiency'. Since I started wearing that ring, I basically no longer had to worry about running out of magical power.

By the way, many male adventurers wore various accessories. It was rare for them to be magic tools, and most of them were lucky charms such as lucky rings. That meant that even if I wore a ring, it wouldn't stand out.

We picked up the magic stones and hurried back to the ground. Then, after changing clothes in a hurry, we headed to the Adventurer's Guild. We went to the reception and placed the shield, gold coins, and magic stones on the counter. It seemed that Shou and the others would use the primary healing magic potion.

The appraisal would take some time, so we decided to wait in the waiting room. It was fun to wait while being nervous. After waiting for about an hour, our names were called.

We went to the reception and asked for the amount. If the Adventurer's Guild were to buy it, it would go for a little over 40 million. After some discussion, we decided to sell it to the Adventurer's Guild.

There was also the method of putting it up for auction, but in that case a commission would be taken, so it was said that it wasn't known whether it would be profitable or a loss.

At the reception, we arranged for the amount to be divided into four equal parts and transferred to our bank accounts. As for the primary healing magic potion, it would be a present from me. Then we had a sumptuous meal at a nearby restaurant. The conversation was lively, and everyone made a fuss while smiling.

　　　◆◆◇◇◆◆◇◇◆◆

A month and a half had passed since Taichi started learning Life Magic from Amane and the others. During that time, Taichi's life magic reached magic level 3.

And, 'Push', 'Roll', 'Cone Arrow', 'Swing', and 'Light' were learned. He could now use TriplePush and TripleArrow, and had already cleared the 4th floor of the Giant Tree Dungeon.

"Taichi, did you hear about Kurotsuki-senpai?"

"Is Kurotsuki-senpai a third year?"

"That's right. He's the number one of this academy. That Senpai is looking for teammates."

Taichi tilted his head. If it were the selection team, the members should have already been decided a month ago.

"Why is he recruiting?"

"You don't know anything. While hunting OrcKnights on the 12th floor of the Suigetsu Dungeon, they encountered a group of OrcKnights, and the members other than Kurotsuki-senpai were injured."

Taichi thought that Alisa and the others would be suitable members of the selection team.

Taichi, who found Alisa and the others after school, suggested that they apply for the selection team members.

"Pass. Even if we form a team now, I don't think I will be able to demonstrate my abilities."

Yukari flatly refused.

"Me too."

Alisa, Amane, and Chika also refused. They didn't seem very interested in the selection team.

"Also. This weekend, we're supposed to explore the dungeon with Grimm-sensei."

Amane said happily.

"Is that right. I want to go too."

"That's impossible. Most of them are explorations in intermediate dungeons."

Taichi was a G-class who had just registered with the Adventurer's Guild. He could only dive into beginner level dungeons.

While Taichi and Amane were talking, Karina appeared.

"Good. You haven't gone home yet."

Alisa tilted her head and asked.

"Karina-sensei, what's wrong?"

"The principal is calling you."

"Maybe it's about Grimm-sensei?"

Alisa and the others went to the principal's office. Waiting there was the principal and the vice-principal.

"Principal, I called them."

"Thank you. Everyone please sit on the sofa."

When Alisa and the others sat down on the sofa, the principal asked if they could form a team with Kurotsuki and participate in the selection team competition.
