106 Looping
the 9th Floor Boss Room

"Toi-sama. Are
you alright?"
Anneliese supported me
as I swayed.
When I changed my
sub-job to Enchanter, my MP rapidly recovered thanks to the MP Recovery Boost
(Medium) skill I obtained at Enchanter Lv 60. The recovery rate is 3 points per
second, a great skill that fills my MP in 4 minutes.
"My lord. It's a
treasure chest. Three of them appeared."
"That's
generous."
I was able to end the
fight instantly, but defeating a tough Orichalcum Golem like that is no small
feat.
Considering all that
trouble, three treasure chests don't even seem like enough.
"My MP is almost
gone, so I'm going to sit down. Someone open them."
At my words, everyone
but Anneliese began to play rock-paper-scissors.
Anneliese stayed by my
side. She truly is a partner who supports me.
"Rock, paper,
scissors!"
At Barth's call,
everyone thrust out their arms.
"Yes!"
Lin, who was the only
one to show scissors, raised her arm triumphantly.
"Two more spots!
Rock, paper, scissors, shoot!"
Gandarvan's spirited
call.
"Kyaa! I
won!"
Solidia won and jumped
for joy.
"The last spot...
Here we go... Rock, paper, scissors, shoot!"
Jojok's spirited voice
echoed through the boss room.
"I won!"
Rosalina won, a
complete victory for the women.
In contrast, the men
knelt down in frustration.
Did they want to open
the treasure chests that badly? Barth opens them sometimes, doesn't he? Why is
he so frustrated?
"Alright, Lin,
choose your favorite treasure chest to open first."
"Yes!"
After a moment of
hesitation, Lin chose the middle treasure chest of the three lined up.
She opened the lid,
and inside sat a jewel.
"It's an S-rank
diamond. And it's 20 carats."
This alone is worth 50
million Grill. Selling just this one item would provide a decent amount of
capital for managing the territory. I like this place.
"Next is
Solidia."
"Yes. I'll take
this one."
Solidia chose the
treasure chest on the left.
Inside was a mithril
armor with a bluish-silver sheen.
This mithril armor is
worth 100 million Grill. It pales in comparison to the diamond, but it's by no
means a bad item.
Also, the bluish-silver
color is quite understated.
"Lastly,
Rosalina. Open it up."
"Yes-nanodesu!"
Rosalina opened the
treasure chest on the right.
A sphere came out from
inside.
"This is... a
mid-grade orb."
We acquired a
mid-grade orb. Let’s summon a spirit from it!
"We'll sell the
diamond and use the rest ourselves."
The mithril armor has
a whole host of effects: automatic size adjustment, automatic repair, physical
attack resistance, magical attack resistance, and nullification of
fire-attribute attacks.
"Gandarvan, you
use the mithril armor."
"No, I cannot.
Please use it yourself, my lord."
"I prefer
composite armor to metal armor. Besides, you're the one who takes the most
hits. It's only natural that you wear the one with the highest defense."
Also, the mithril
armor is very conspicuous. My personality would never allow me to wear it.
I forced the mithril
armor on Gandarvan, and I'll use the mid-grade orb after we get back.
Selling the diamond
would bring in at least 50 million Grill.
Gandarvan, who gets 5
percent hazard pay, would get 2.5 million Grill, and Barth and the others, who
get 3 percent, would get 1.5 million Grill.
It's not enough to
live a life of leisure, but it's enough to live comfortably for a year.
And once I recover, I
plan to loop the Orichalcum Golem.
It seems the 9th floor
is designed so that while the field monsters aren't profitable, the boss room
is very profitable. This is also because the Orichalcum Golem is so strong.
***
We looped the 9th-floor
boss. I've completely lost track of how many times we've done it.
My main job, Heroic
Sword King, reached Level 75. Assassin and Reincarnated Hero are also Level 75,
and Enchanter is Level 70.
Gandarvan: Strong-Armored
Knight, Level 76
Barth: Adventurer,
Level 75
Jojok: Sword Master,
Level 76
Lin: Spear Saint,
Level 76
Solidia: Necromancer,
Level 75
Rosalina: Battle
Master, Level 76
Anneliese: Sage of
Love, Level 76
Everyone's levels have
increased.
The number of treasure
chests that appear after defeating the Orichalcum Golem is random, ranging from
2, 3, to 4.
It's not a guarantee
that 2 chests will yield good items, nor that 4 chests will only have low-value
ones.

We got 53 sets of
armor.
Bluish-silver Mithril
Armor, scarlet Hihirokane Armor, black Gormodia Armor, and rainbow-colored Orichalcum
Armor.
I definitely couldn't
wear the Orichalcum Armor. It glows with rainbow colors even in the dark. No
way.
The bluish-silver
Mithril Armor is a little better. But I don't like that one either.
The scarlet Hihirokane
Armor looked like it would increase my speed by three times. It's a color I
admired a little.
But in the end, I'll
stick to a subdued black. The Gormodia Armor is jet black and looks cool. It's
right up my alley.
I thought composite
armor of leather and metal was better for ease of movement, but the Gormodia
Armor and Hihirokane Armor were surprisingly easy to move in once I put them
on.
I reflected on my
prejudice against things I haven't tried.
We came out of the
dungeon and returned without selling anything at the Explorer's Guild.
It's something I need
to think about before selling.
We'll use the armor
ourselves, and the diamonds are all extremely valuable. The S-rank magic stones
might also be kept for ourselves. And the orbs!
I'll use the mid-grade
orb, and I'm thinking of giving the low-grade ones to Anneliese. That leaves
two low-grade orbs, but no one raised their hand for them.
"You don't have
to be so reserved."
"It's not about
being reserved; it's too much of an honor. Therefore, it would be best for the
orbs to become heirlooms of the Footscythel Viscount family and be passed down
through generations."
Everyone nodded
vigorously at Gandarvan's words. Lin looked like her neck was about to snap.
"But I'm going to
use the orbs."
"We have no
complaints about you using them, my lord. It's too late for that now. Please
feel free to use mid-grade or even high-grade ones."
"Too late for
that now, huh..."
Well, I'll use them
anyway.
"I'll have Anneliese
use one, too."
"We won't say
anything about the Lady using one either."
"What about
Gandarvan using one?"
"Rejected."
It seems Gandarvan and
the others see Anneliese and me as special cases.
"What will you do
with the jewels?"
"I'm thinking of
selling the jewels to the Royal Family and the Duke. They'd probably buy them
for a higher price than the Explorer's Guild."
"Selling them to
them... Please be careful with your words."
"I know. I'll
only say that here."
Gandarvan's
admonishments are a regular occurrence.
I'll accept them
gratefully. That's what admonishments are for.
I immediately
requested a meeting with the Princess and the Duke, and the Princess was the
one to meet me first.
"I hear you have
a report about the dungeon today. I hope it's a good one."
Sitting on the sofa
and elegantly sipping her tea, the Princess listened as I reported that we had
defeated the Orichalcum Golem and reached the 10th floor.
"You've truly
reached the 10th floor!?"
"Yes, we've
reached it for now."
"Congratulations.
It seems completing our promise is only a matter of time."
Just as you'd expect
from a ruler. She doesn't say, "That's enough."
"Yes, just a
little more. Oh, that's right. We obtained something like this from the
Orichalcum Golem."
I presented a wooden
box carefully packed with diamonds.
It contained 15
diamonds of 10 carats and 5 of 20 carats.
I didn't bring the
30-carat and 40-carat ones. I have no intention of selling those two.
"Oh my!?"
The beautiful sparkle
of diamonds seems to be popular with women in both this life and the last. The
Princess's eyes were sparkling.
"The Royal
Family—"
"Please let me
acquire them."
She was very eager.
I've also requested a
meeting with the Duke, so I won't sell all of them. Or rather, I can't.
I promised to sell her
8 of the 10-carat diamonds and 3 of the 20-carat diamonds. I was even made to
promise to sell all of them to her if the Duke doesn't buy any.
It seems the
brilliance of diamonds captivates women's hearts without fail.
