Chapter 139: Jeanne’s Request and Guild Revisit
“Nanami has apparently been revived safely. Isn’t that great?” (Jeanne)
After reviving Nanami, Jeanne said this while confirming her Status Board.
It probably ans that soone actually confird this.
That they went through the trouble of ssaging Jeanne instead is probably because I don’t open my ssages. Or it might be a feat possible by the passion of the fans.
…Honestly speaking, I don’t have the feeling like Nanami has been revived.
No…her death itself didn’t feel real for .
But if God says she has been revived, she must have. There would be no point in doubting that.
However, it is true that my heart has grown incomparably lighter from yesterday.
Once I have cald down a bit more, I feel like I will be able to open the ssages. No matter if Nanami has spoken the truth of matters or not, it is not like I think it is okay for to stay this way forever.
Anyways, with this, it is a wrap.
It is a sha about Nanami’s parents…uncle and auntie, but there might be a chance again soti… No, will a miracle like this only happen once?
“Now then, Kurose Hikaru, the quest is over with this, so it is your turn to listen to .” (Jeanne)
Jeanne closed her Status Board and said this with a grin.
“What do you an by my turn?” (Hikaru)
“I won the duel of before, right? That’s why, I will have you listen to . The privilege of the victor, you could say.” (Jeanne)
“I see.” (Hikaru)
Well, winner or loser, I would listen to whatever Jeanne asks though.
She gave the Resurrection Gem. A treasure that can’t be bought with money.
It is a debt that I can’t pay back no matter how much I try.
“I heard in the middle of my journey, but there’s a dungeon in this city, right?” (Jeanne)
“There is. It is apparently a pretty big one even in terms of worldwide scale.” (Hikaru)
“It is big, huh. Even better. I intend to reach the lowest floor of that dungeon. Kurose Hikaru, you tag along too.” (Jeanne)
“Reach, you say…to the lowest of floors? If I rember correctly, they have only reached the 6th Floor, you know?” (Hikaru)
Even the Crimson Vials led by the red haired Garnet-san are in the middle of clearing the 6th Floor, the Dawn of the Golden Prairie.
And, this is natural, but it is a situation where no one knows how low it goes.
Of course, there’s the chance that it ends with the 6th or 7th Floor…
“Makes it even better then. That ans we will be the first ones stepping there, right?” (Jeanne)
“That might be true, but…it is dangerous, you know…?” (Hikaru)
I don’t know how much she understands the dangers of a dungeon.
Reaching the lowest floor isn’t an easy objective by any ans of the word.
I can tell since I have seen upclose how the Crimson Vials fight. You would have to literally beco inhuman…no, it is a level where you are finally putting your first steps into that realm after giving up your humanity.
Moreover, you have to properly gather equally strong comrades.
With just and Jeanne, we would have accidents even in the 3rd Floor.
“What, scared? I don’t mind you not going. I will be going on my own anyways.” (Jeanne)
“On your own…?! Got it, I will tag along. I did intend to continue my dungeon exploration anyways. However, a Demon Lord appeared just recently and has been subjugated, so entrance is prohibited. There’s still around 6 days left.” (Hikaru)
I rembered how I refused partying up with Rifreya, but Jeanne is a Chosen. The conditions are different from Rifreya.
Also, there’s the matter that and Jeanne are not in that kind of relationship.
“How long do you think it would take to clear the dungeon?” (Jeanne)
“Right. If we are speaking realistically, if after 5 years we haven’t cleared it, we should give up -sothing like that, I guess? There’s the need to gather strong mbers too, and I think it would be dangerous if we don’t put a stop at so point.” (Hikaru)
The 5 years I am placing here is a number with no basis.
We are Chosen, so I think we could beco pretty strong in 5 years.
We can get cheat items with Points, and I can say for a fact that we have a lot more advantages compared to the other explorers.
If even with that we still can’t do it after 5 years, it would be better to give it up. That’s basically what I am saying here.
I think that would be the limit to how long we can put our lives on the line.
If we consider our peak years, we could fight for 10 years more, but it would definitely wear us out ntally. Most of all, it is unrealistic to continue a lifestyle like that. We should have a decent amount of savings if we continue being explorers for 5 years, so it would be better to think about retiring.
More so, the world should be vast.
Using your whole life for 1 city and 1 dungeon is silly.
“5 years, huh… Alright.” (Jeanne)
She placed a hand on her chin, and after brooding for a bit, Jeanne looked at with eyes of determination.
“You have been living in an inn the whole ti, right, Kuro?” (Jeanne) [She says Kuro which is Black. Sticking with Kuro since it sounds cute while Black sounds cool.]
“K-Kuro?! Y-Yeah, that’s right.” (Hikaru)
She suddenly called by a weird na, so I was surprised. Kuro, she says… That sounds like the na of a dog…
“Then let’s rent a house. If we share the house, it should be cheaper.” (Jeanne)
“H-House?!” (Hikaru)
“It will take 5 years, right? It would be impossible to live in an inn for that long. I am the type that likes to arrange things in my own way.” (Jeanne)
“I-I do get that, but…sharing the house, you say… Does that an we will be living together?” (Hikaru)
“That’s right. We are both Chosen, so it works just fine, right? Everything is being seen anyways. Also…I am not good with house chores. I am expecting you to do them.” (Jeanne)
“Seriously…?” (Hikaru)
I didn’t expect a developnt like this, but there’s logic in what she says.
She is probably proposing this solely as a roommate. In the perspective of a Japanese person, it would be ‘A man and woman living together?!’, but it is most likely normal in France.
As for my own view on this, there’s a part of that finds this questionable, but if she wishes to, there’s no reason not to. Most of all, I want to pay back my debt as much as possible.
“Not good with housework?” (Jeanne)
“No…I am good at it. I can do about anything -even cooking.” (Hikaru)
“That’s great. Let’s go at once. For this stuff, you go to a real estate agent?” (Jeanne)
“I think the guild can tell us if we ask. We have to register you as an explorer anyways, right?” (Hikaru)
“Then, I count on you to be the guide.” (Jeanne)
And that’s how it is.
It is true that I was thinking about leaving the inn, but I didn’t even imagine a developnt like this.
Do I just get easily swept by the flow…?
◇◆◆◆◇
We decided to eat before going to the guild.
Jeanne was unexpectedly a at eater, and she even ate more than . Even though she is thinner than Nanami, where is she even putting all of that? I wondered why, but her Tier is probably high. Basically, her monstrosification is advancing.
After that, we went to the guild.
The guild wasn’t that active, but it was operating as normal, and Jeanne managed to register as an explorer without any problems.
Her battle style is most likely as I saw yesterday -a frontline mainly focused on defense.
Rifreya is a pure attacker, so if I were to join forces with Jeanne, I probably will have more room to join in attacking.
Right now there’s no problem with my weapon being the shortsword, but if I am aiming for the lower floors, I will most likely need a bigger weapon. Most of all, strengthening myself would be a necessity.
At the ti when I fought the Demon Lord, even though I created such a flawless opportunity, I couldn’t defeat it.
I was listening to the female receptionist explaining to Jeanne about what knowledge an explorer should have.
I had Rifreya submit the Spirit Stones to the guild, but I will have to do that from now on.
Jeanne…does sll a bit like Karen after all.
That feeling as if she is the youngest child type that gets pampered a whole ton and doesn’t do anything…
“Then, the party na will be Love-Love Twin Birds Ⅱ, right?”
The female staff mber mutters this while she was filling up the necessary docunts.
“No no no no, it is not.” (Hikaru)
She is completely teasing here!
“…Haah, even though you disbanded Love-Love Twin Birds just yesterday, you are already forming a party with a different woman, so I thought this ant you found a new bird.”
“Wa, please stop that. and her are not like that.” (Hikaru)
“Muh, what’s with that Love-Love Twin Birds?” (Jeanne)
“The party that Hikaru-san had with another woman until yesterday. Rifreya-san, so pitiful…”
“Hoh, the rumored girlfriend, huh…” (Jeanne)
“Not girlfriend.” (Hikaru)
“I will definitely tattle on you.”
Good grief, just doing whatever they wish. I myself didn’t know that we had registered with a stupid na like Love-Love Twin Birds.
Also, tattle, she says. Rifreya has returned to her ho to beco a templar, so there’s no way she would co to the guild.
Well…there’s no doubt she would misunderstand if she knew that I have ford a party with a different woman though…
“What do we do, Kuro, for the party na? Are you fine with ‘Hardcore Exploring @ Gaia’?” (Jeanne)
“Hardcore Exploring @ Gaia?! Aren’t there any better options?!” (Hikaru)
“Like?” (Jeanne)
“Like…The Earth Fighters…?” (Hikaru)
“Rejected. La.” (Jeanne)
Isn’t Hardcore Exploring also on that spectrum?
No, I have zero naming sense, so maybe it is an unexpectedly good na? -Hardcore Exploring.
I can’t tell.
“Since this is an important mont, it would be best to make it a strong-sounding one. Like: Heavy Battalion.” (Jeanne)
“You do give that impression. You have heavy equipnt after all.” (Hikaru)
“Ravens Arc would be nice too. Also, Elegance…or Mirage Works.” (Jeanne)
“I don’t really get it, but it sounds cool, so it is okay, I guess?” (Hikaru)
The nas were coming out one after the other, but I wonder where did they originate from?
Whichever the case, as long as a too weird na doesn’t co out, I don’t mind whatever.
Any na is decent compared to Love-Love Twin Birds.
