As the Orc Skeleton went back into the Dungeon I just kept running
-"this monster will come out of this dungeon and hunt the master"
-" he will do that when he realizes that the master has the two moon flowers"
-"I hope the master stays strong by then, those flowers are like children for this monster"
-"the first time I met him I just ran away from him, leaving everything behind and everyone I loved"
-"I spent many long nights blaming myself for this. Blaming myself for leaving everyone to die"
-"haaaaghhhhhh!!"
-"but now, I can say that. I'm sorry, I'm sorry for having abandoned them"
The Orc Skeleton Encountered The Creature On The Way
-"now I won't run away from him, I'll fight even though I know I'll fail"
-"haaaaghhhhh!"
The Orc Skeleton gave a smile
-"(I need help, if what the Skeleton Orc said is true, there's no way I can defeat this thing alone)"(Takeshi)
-"(the guild. The guild can help me with this, I'm sure they can)"(Takeshi)
The distance from the city to the dungeon was not that great, but I needed to get there as soon as possible.
-"Activate Skill ≪Speed of Darkness≫"(Takeshi)
[-30 = 290/550 Mana]
-"(I've already spent this Skill three times, I'm starting to get tired)"(Takeshi)
-"Arf, Arf, Arf"(Takeshi)
I still didn't know what this monster was like or how I could defeat him, but I would use whatever I had to finish him off.
-"the book?! "(Takeshi)
Luckily I had that book that could help me fight that creature, if I remember the book had spells of level 5 or more of magic category
-"the city. I see"(Takeshi)
-"Arf, Arf"(Takeshi)
I stopped to rest a bit in a tree that was nearby
-"It's still daytime, I think I can use my Skill a little to train"(Takeshi)
-"open. Status"(Takeshi)

-"Available Skill Points"(Takeshi)
I clicked on that Skill and then two screens appeared in front of me, the two screens were exchange points for Skills. One was the Attack or Defense Skills while the other was Equipment.
The attack cards screen needed 3 Skill points that I had already learned while the equipment screen was costing 2 points
-"armor and a ring?"(Takeshi)
There were two armors that were costing 3 Skill points while a ring was costing 2 Skill points
-"what does this ring do?"(Takeshi)
I clicked on the ring and some information appeared.
|Magic Ring|
The magic ring can reduce the costs of all Abilities
This item has a usage limit of 3 times a day
Item element: fire, water, wind, darkness, light, earth
Item Category: Support
Item rarity: super rare
Item difficulty: 1 star
Duration: short
Skill Cost: 2 points
-"in Mana reduction!? This will be very useful" (Takeshi)
Having a little help without needing to rest or be healed to regain Mana would be great, so without thinking twice I confirmed the purchase of equipment and right away a big light started to form in my hand.
-"ahh, what a bright light!" (Takeshi)
After a while my hand stopped glowing and I could see the ring placed on my finger
-"this simple gold ring transcends a magical aura equal to the magic weapons I made using all the elements"(Takeshi)
-"well, let's continue, I think I can go straight to town" (Takeshi)
I took a look at how my Stamina and other Abilities were doing.

-"the stamina is in good condition, I think with that I can get to the city in time"(Takeshi)
-"let's test how this works"(Takeshi)
-"Activate Skill ≪Speed of Darkness≫"(Takeshi)
[-25 = 245/550 Mana]
Right after that I continued to run into town
-"dude, how tiring it is to be on guard here"
-"hey, keep it down, if anyone knows about it-"
-"who cares? You're new to this here, so soon you get the hang of these things"
-"what is that?"
-"I think I've seen that guy"
-"S-Stop right there!"
-"put your gun down, he's an adventurer"
-"I-I'm sorry"
-"I need Arf Arf to warn the guild about an Arf Arf monster"(Takeshi)
-"no matter what you do, your ID card please"
-"H-Here"(Takeshi)
-"Now I remember! You are the adventurer who controls all the elements. Here it is, you can go"
-"thank you"(Takeshi)
-"I can't believe you pointed your gun at an adventurer"
-"my bad"
-"be careful next time, I'm your supervisor, but I could also lose my job if you do more things like that"
Takeshi managed to get to the guild, now he was trying to somehow get the guild to send people to the dungeon to track the monster
-"sorry, but I don't think we can do this"
Or was that what he thought he was doing
-"why?"(Takeshi)
-"as I said, this dungeon has been explored many, many times, even if we sent it, I don't think they would accept to do this"
-"Damn!"(Takeshi)
-"what's going on Marcia?"
A person who appeared to be a guild administrator appeared
-"Sir is that our adventurer found a new monster in a dungeon near here" (Marcia)
-"what would this dungeon adventurer be?"
-"the Dungeon Eleinoir"(Takeshi)
-"Hmm... Come to my room, and there we can talk better about it"
-"R-Right"(Takeshi)
The old man led me to a room on the second floor.
-"I'm Alexander, one of the guild administrators
-"I'm an adventurer, Takeshi Kuro"(Takeshi)
-"so, what kind of monster did you find inside the dungeon?" (Alenxandre)
I counted what I had seen, the bodies on the walls, the root trails I found while descending the floors but the only thing I hid was the Orc skeleton
-"is this really a new monster?" (Alexander)
-"yes, I may not have seen the monster, but I want you to believe me, there are people who are still alive there and we need to save them" (Takeshi)
-"I think I have an idea of what this monster is" (Alexandre)
-"Really!?"(Takeshi)
-"I'll try to send a search party to the Dungeon, don't worry, we'll help the people who are trapped inside" (Alexander)
-"thank you very much, thank you very much!"(Takeshi)
-"just keep it a secret, people might be worried about their own safety if they know there's a dangerous monster near this town" (Alexander)
-"okay"(Takeshi)
I left the room while Alexandre stayed in it
-"if what he says is true, we are in serious trouble" (Alexandre)
-"that's not just any monster, that's one of the Demon King's Generals. But why did it have tree roots?" (Alexander)
-"if he leaves the dungeon we're going to be in serious trouble" (Alexander)
-"we need to act fast" (Alexandre)
Takeshi was outside the guild
-"(I got help from the guild, now I need to get the book)"(Takeshi)
-"yo Takeshi, how are you?"
-"Nakamura?"(Takeshi)
-"got it!" (Nakamura)
-"(Can I tell him?)"(Takeshi)
-"and where are the others?"(Takeshi)
-"they're in the blacksmith nearby, Emi's armor had broken"(Nakamura)
-"(no, Alexandre told me to keep it a secret)"(Takeshi)
-"It was bad I didn't wait for you to do a Quest"(Nakamura)
-"no problem, it was my fault I was late" (Takeshi)
-"So, do you want to do a Quest?"(Nakamura)
-"Oh I can't, I have some things to do yet" (Takeshi)
-"okay then, if you want to do some Quest with me, just call me" (Nakamura)
-"you can leave"(Takeshi)
Nakamura passed me and entered the guild
-"Excuse me! I want to sell these monster stones"
-"(sorry Nakamura, you can't know that now...)"(Takeshi)
I went straight to the inn, luckily I didn't find anyone who knew me on the way there.
-"hello Takeshi"
-"hello"(Takeshi)
-"you seem very worried, is everything alright?"
-"yes, yes, I'm fine"(Takeshi)
I passed the receptionist and went to my room
-"Is he like some girl? Hahh these kids these days, reminds me of my youth"
-"Here's the book, there's still time to learn some Skills and then try them out" (Takeshi)
-"Activate Skill ≪Dimensional Backpack≫"(Takeshi)
-"I'm glad this Skill doesn't cost Mana. I better go soon" (Takeshi)
If I find Nakamura I'll try to do a Quest with him, maybe that way I can train the Skills I'll learn to use
-"are you already leaving?"
-"yes"(Takeshi)
-"good luck with your future love"
-"thank you... Wait, that's not what you're thinking!"(Takeshi)
I started to blush
-"I understand how you feel, I also didn't want people to know that I was dating when I was younger"
-"I-I'm not interested in someone, I'm serious!" (Takeshi)
I left the inn before she could say anything else
-"Takeshi, have you seen Emi-"(Yuriko)
-"sorry I can't talk now" (Takeshi)
-"are you blushing?"(Yuriko)
-"N-No, of course not" (Takeshi)
I hid my face while blushing
-"fuuu..." (Yuriko)
-"what's with that face of yours?"(Takeshi)
-"Do you want to come with everyone from the party to go to a restaurant that has recently opened?" (Yuriko)
-"I don't have time for this right now"(Takeshi)
-"if you're going to do a quest, forget it, it's starting to get dark and only crazy people will go out at that time with monsters around" (Yuriko)
Yuriko pointed to my back
-"what are you talking about, it's still day-"(Takeshi)
I looked back and realized the sun was already setting.
-"I told you so. So, are you coming with us to a restaurant that has recently opened?" (Yuriko)
-"haah alright, I'll go with you" (Takeshi)
-"yeah so let's go" (Yuriko)
-"Wait, I still have my armor on"(Takeshi)
-"don't worry about it, I haven't changed my clothes either" (Yuriko)
Yuriko took me by the arm and started to drag me through the city
-"where are they? They said they would be here" (Yuriko)
-"the others at the party?"(Takeshi)
-"yes, we arranged that we would meet- Ah! There they are" (Yuriko)
-"Hello Takeshi"(Tsunade)
-"I didn't know you were coming too" (Nakamura)
-"yeah, I really wouldn't come, but Yuriko dragged me and I had no other choice" (Takeshi)
I tried to say this ironically but it didn't seem to work because Nakamura showed a confused face
-"where is Emi and Shizuko?"(Yuriko)
-"Emi said she was going to buy some a gift for Shizuko" (Nakamura)
-"it's a reeaaally cool thing, she said"(Tsunade)
-"she said like that?"(Nakamura)
-"yes"(Tsunade)
-"a reeaaally cool thing? I'm curious now"(Yuriko)
-"Guys, sorry for the delay!"
-"no problem we also arrived just now" (Nakamura)
When I looked back. I noticed that Emi and the others were still wearing their clothes that they wear in Quests, it seems that this world doesn't care so much about style
-"Hello Emi"(Tsunade)
-" and then what did you buy?" (Yuriko)
-"I bought this for Shizuko"(Emi)
-"a barrette? How beautiful, it will match her hair color a lot" (Tsunade)
-"It's really beautiful, I think if you wore it I'm sure it would look nice too" (Nakamura)
-"R-Really!?"(Emi)
Emi blushed and looked away
-"fuuu..." (Yuriko)
-"(birthday gift...)"(Takeshi)
-"W-You can go ahead, I'll meet you later" (Emi)
-"okay" (Nakamura)
-"don't be late"(Tsunade)
Emi left while we went to the restaurant
-"Nakamura" (Yuriko)
-"what?"(Nakamura)
-"you really are an idiot"(Yuriko)
-"an? Why is that all of a sudden?"(Nakamura)
-"Haven't you noticed yet?"(Tsunade)
-"oh come on [Bakamura], we've been doing Quests for 15 months and you didn't realize that?" (Yuriko)
Kuroshi4: translating Baka means "idiot" from Japanese to English.
Baka + Nakamura = Bakamura
-"don't call me by that nickname"(Nakamura)
-"Maybe I have to call you Bakamura again" (Yuriko)
-"I noticed too" (Takeshi)
-"seriously, what happened to you all of a sudden?" (Bakamura)
-"I'm sure her heart is skipping" (Tsunade)
-"haha, that I can't deny" (Yuriko)
Tsunade and Yuriko were all the way teasing Bakamura for being dumb all the way
-"well finally, we found the restaurant"(Yuriko)
-"is this a restaurant?" (Tsunade)
-"restaurant? This is a bar"(Bakamura)
-"I had a bad experience drinking so it looks like this is goodbye, see you guys-" (Takeshi)
-"you won't give up without going in, here there are many drinks and various types of food" (Yuriko)
-"let's go in since we came here" (Bakamura)
-"you come too" (Yuriko)
-"I have another choice?"(Takeshi)
-"no, now let's go!" (Yuriko)
Yuriko took me by the arm and we entered the restaurant
-"you can let go of me now you know?"(Takeshi)
-"I refuse to leave you, you'll probably run away because you don't like to drink" (Yuriko)
-"what a beautiful place"(Tsunade)
The place was not as beautiful as Tsunade said but the style in which the restaurant was adapting made the place better
-"Leave them there, let's find where to sit for a while" (Nakamura)
-"but I won't run away"(Takeshi)
-"ha, I'm not that easy to deceive"(Yuriko)
-"Okay then, I just have one question. What if people... think we're dating" (Takeshi)
I said that very close to Yuriko's ear
-"W-What!?. I-I'll let go of your arm, D-Don't run away" (Yuriko)
Yuriko started to blush, but at least she let go of my arm
-"(worked better than I expected)"(Takeshi)
I started looking around for Nakamura and soon found him waving at us
-"there are the others, let's go"(Takeshi)
This time I took Yuriko's hand and we started to go to the other two who were sitting
-"what happened? Yuriko is red" (Tsunade)
-"maybe she has a fever" (Takeshi)
-"N-No, I don't have a fever... I want to drink a lot!" (Yuriko)
Yuriko quickly changed her expression on her face
-"(Is that her wanting to drink so much!?)"(Takeshi)
-"sit down soon the two, Emi and Shizuko should arrive soon" (Nakamura)
We sat down and within seconds a Demi-human came to our table.
-"Excuse me, would you like to make your requests-meow?"
-"(a cat woman serving?)"(Takeshi)
-"oh yeah, I want this one" (Nakamura)
While the others placed their orders I picked up the menu and started looking
-"(so many options...)"(Takeshi)
It was difficult to choose when there were so many food options, but the most on the menu was meat, there was even a Hamburger from my world in that role.
-"(this meat perishes the same as I always eat near the inn)"(Takeshi
-"sir your request-Nyaa"
-"Oh I'll have this smoked meat" (Takeshi)
Nyaa-noted, wait until they bring the-Nyaa request"
-"(she up close was pretty cute, but the way she talks made me anxious for some reason)"(Takeshi)
The demi-human walked away from the table and went to the back
-"hey, what did you ask?" (Yuriko)
-"I ordered Pasta, I wanted to try it to know what it tasted like" (Nakamura)
-"smoked meat" (Takeshi)
-"I found the cake very interesting so I was curious about it" (Tsunade)
-"Hi people"
-"Emi and Shizuko, you've arrived" (Nakamura)
-"H-Hi"(Shizuko)
-"why the delay?" (Yuriko)
-"we were doing something"(Emi)
-"one thing huh?"(Yuriko)
-"you really like to make fun of others..." (Takeshi)
-"we've already made our orders, feel free to make yours" (Tsunade)
-"okay... Wow there are so many options, Yuriko really told the truth about this place" (Emi)
-"I would never lie to you, I always tell the truth" (Yuriko)
-"I doubt that… "(Nakamura)
-"what did you say?"(Yuriko)
-"N-Nothing"(Nakamura)
-"here your-Nyaa requests"
-"Yeah, finally my beer is ready" (Yuriko)
Yuriko just ordered beers
-"oh we'd like to place our orders too" (Emi)
-"okay-nya"
-"(if this meat tastes the same as that food stall, maybe I'll come here more often)"(Takeshi)
Tsunade was sharing her cake with Shizuko while Yuriko was drinking
-"here open your mouth" (Tsunade)
-"aahhh..." (Shizuko)
-"(cute...)"(Takeshi)
It was really cute to see Tsunade spoiling Shizuko for being slightly small
-"bluaaahh! One more beer please!"(Yuriko)
-"understood-Meow!"
-"Will she be alright? This is her fifth cup"(Takeshi)
-"yes she will, just be careful about one thing" (Nakamura)
-"with what?"(Takeshi)
-"that"(Nakamura)
-"look what we have here, a beautiful girl with her beautiful tits"
A guy who was clearly drunk intruded on the conversation.
-"Oh thank you very much" (Yuriko)
-"when Yuriko is drunk, she can be much more unpredictable than she thinks" (Nakamura)
-"as a reward, let me squeeze them a little"
-"try to be as nice as possible to her, or you could end up bad for a slip like that guy now" (Nakamura)
-"I'll let you, only if you can take the amount of punch I'm going to throw in your face" (Yuriko)
-"Alright then, let's punch me"
These two were clearly drunk, I just kept looking to see how far this would go.
-"okayy"(Yuriko)
Yuriko got up
-"she's really gonna do that!?"(Takeshi)
I tried to get up to stop it, but Nakamura held me back
-"Don't worry, Yuriko will solve this" (Nakamura)
-"we've seen this happen several times, we don't need to worry anymore" (Emi)
-"Yuriko is much stronger than she thinks" (Tsunade)
-"okay"(Takeshi)
I sat back but was prepared to use any Skill to stop this.
-"I'm ready. You can come"
The drunk guy stretched out his arms and closed his eyes
-"understood, I'll do it with all my strength" (Yuriko)
While everyone was watching I was preparing the tentacles of darkness if something went wrong
-"take this!" (Yuriko)
Yuriko spun around and punched him right in the middle of his face making the drunk spin in the air and fall to the ground, unconscious
-"hah! I'm still in shape" (Yuriko)
-"(whew, it looks like everything turned out well, or almost)"(Takeshi)
The 4 started clapping for Yuriko's punch in the face of the passed out guy on the floor
-"amazing"(Tsunade)
-"10 points" (Emi)
-"it was a nice turn" (Nakamura)
-"(are they celebrating this? I know he may have asked to be punched in the face because he thought Yuriko was pretty weak but...)" (Takeshi)
Maybe he was a masochist, or maybe just a depraved one. It was all confused for me at that time.
-"I don't understand anything else about what's going on today, I'm just going to eat my meat and -"(Takeshi)
When I was about to eat the meat, Yuriko leans on my shoulder making me blush and preventing me from eating
-"hey, Takeshi"(Yuriko)
-"W-What was it?"(Takeshi)
-"you have beautiful muscles" (Yuriko)
-"Th-Thanks, I think" (Takeshi)
-"..."(Yuriko)
-"hey Yuriko, you can get out of my-"(Takeshi)
When I looked at Yuriko she was sleeping on my shoulder
-"(I need to be careful, I don't want to end up like that guy on the ground)"(Takeshi)
-"fuuuu" x4
When I least noticed, the 4 were looking at me with a "look at the two lovebirds" face
-"N-It's not what they're thinking!" (Takeshi)
-"and what would we be thinking?"(Tsunade)
-"I-I think they're both beautiful like that, they seem like they are..." (Shizuko)
-"Boyfriends? Well I think they really look alike" (Emi)
-"Takeriko? Yurishi? Which name would be best for the couple?" (Nakamura)
-"they both seem like pretty names for a couple"(Tsunade)
-"S-Stop it, we don't look like a couple(Takeshi)
-"here are the other orders and more beer-Meow"
The waitress who was half a cat finally brought the other orders.
-"thank you"(Emi)
-"Th-thank you" (Shizuko)
Luckily it made everyone stop making fun of me and Yuriko
-"hey Yuriko, wake up"(Takeshi)
-"Hmm... I already woke up..." (Yuriko)
Yuriko got off my shoulder and started drinking beer
-"thanks for waking me up, glub. Now I'll take this until I can't take it anymore!" (Yuriko)
With just one sip Yuriko returned to normal
-"Oh guys, more beers on me!" (Yuriko)
Everyone there in the restaurant started screaming with joy for Yuriko
-"she goes again"(Nakamura)
-"I hope she can pay it" (Emi)
-"Should we stop her?"(Tsunade)
-"I don't think this is a good idea"(Takeshi)
-"S-It would be better if we finish this and go" (Shizuko)
-"agree" x4
I hurried and tasted the meat
-"(so good)"(Takeshi)
Takeshi promised himself he would come back here
