That sure was a tough fight.

I have no idea what would have happened if my skill hadn't evolved.

On the other hand, I lost my sword, and I don't think I can fight the boss with my dagger. The blade is about to break too.

"So, where is the chest?"

[How would I know?]

"You don't?!"

Then why the hell was you so confident when you said that?!

[I am just a pixie, a guide and I have very little information about this floor.]

"I see, you are just a 'little' pixie."

[I am not little.]

"No, no." I wagged my finger and said, "No matter what you say, you are tiny and little."

[I am not! I can change my size!]

Her expression changes every second.

"Is that so? Then show ."

[I will!]

She closed her eyes and tried to do sothing for two minutes, but nothing happened.

She opened her eyes and said, [It must be because of maintenance.]

"Yeah, yeah."

[Hmph!]

She puffed her cheeks as she averted her face.

She kind of looks cute...huh cute? Why did I think that?

She looked at with the corner of her eyes and said, [I think chests are most likely hidden on secret passages.]

Did she just give a hint?

"Didn't you say you don't know?"

[I have no information, but according to the other gas, treasures are most likely on the secret passages or rooms.]

"I see."

Again, shouldn't her data be limited to this ga?

Argh! I am overthinking.

I will just thank her for the help.

"Thanks."

[Take it as compensation for my behavior so far.]

She is generous now.

But I will still smack her.

"Hey Pixie, by hidden passage, you an like the one where I fought with the last wolf, right?"

[That is right. You are getting smart.]

Oh?! She is considerate now, but... I will still smack her.

"Hey, pixie--"

[Don't keep calling pixie, pixie. It's annoying!], she shouted.

"What should I call you then? Do you have a na?"

[I don't.]

I want to smack her!

I gulped down my anger and said, "Then what should--"

[Give a na.]

"What are you talking about?!"

[As I said, give a na!]

"Stop yelling every ti you open your mouth!"

Just because her voice is cute doesn't an she can yell whenever she wants.

I sighed and said, "I am awful at naming. Let's ask Elena once maintenance ends."

[No.]

"Why?"

[There is no point in naming then.]

"But I am terrible at naming. You can see the na I ca up with, Adas."

[I think it looks cool.]

It just looks cool? What about saying and hearing it? But still...

She called my na cool.

"I forgive you."

[What for?]

"Don't mind it."

[Okay then], She started flying in front of my face, spamming, [Na, na, na], from her cute face.

"Yeah, yeah, let think."

I am terrible at naming. But if I don't give her a na, then she will start yelling.

I thought of a proper na for a while, and only one word ca to my mind.

"Hey, what about Lily?"

[Lily? What does it an?]

"I don't know, but there is a flower with the sa na."

[So you think I am pretty as a flower, huh? Oh My! Flattery won't--]

"Nope, not at all." I refused and replied, "I once read a novel about pixies, and the character's na was Lily."

[Idiot.]

She flew up and then dashed at a full speed, kicking in the forehead.

I almost lost my balance due to her kick.

Dammit!

I regret forgiving her.

I looked at her to see her dancing in the air and happily chanting her na like so spell.

"I forgive you."

[Seriously, what for?!]

"Nevermind."

After walking for a while.

"Hey, here it is."

We are back here,

There are three walls, and one of them was smashed by the wolf.

[Okay, try smashing the left wall.]

"Okay"

I grabbed my dagger, and as I was about to hit the wall--

[Hey, wait, what are you doing?]

"Smashing the wall as you said."

[Smash it with your fist.]

"No way, it's impossible!"

[Do it!]

"Fine."

Tch!

Who does she think she is? Ordering around.

I clenched my fist and closed my eyes.

Why did I close my eyes? It's because 'What if the dirt gets in my eyes?', It's not because I am afraid, okay?

I punched the wall and...

"It broke?!"

...it broke in one hit.

And it didn't hurt--I an, the dirt didn't get in my eyes.

[Nothing is here. Try the right wall now.]

I smashed the right wall.

"Oh!"

There it is! A secret room.

As the dust cleared up, I went in.

[Be careful.]

"Of what?"

[Where there is a treasure, there is a trap.]

"You are right, but it's not like I will run into so kind of monster here."

[...]

"Like the boss, or what was it? Skeleton knight or sothing?"

[....]

"I don't even get how can a skeleton be that powerful?"

[...]

"Just because he can use so kind of magic doesn't an" I glanced back at Lily, who had a fearful expression on her face, "Hey Lily, what happened?"

[...un]

"What did you say?"

[Ruun!]

"Why? This is a treasure room, right?"

[Shut up and run!]

I don't know why, but there was tension in her voice, so I imdiately rushed towards the exit.

As I was about to reach there, the exit was suddenly closed by the door.

"Huh?!"

Where did that door co from?!

I heard footsteps behind .

I slowly turned back and saw, "Skeleton?"

It is wearing shining armor and with a radiant shield. The sword in its hand looks normal.

Why?! Why is it here?!

"Hey, Lily. It looks kind of angry. Could it be that it heard what I was saying?"

I expected a taunt saying, 'How can a skeleton hear anything, idiot,' but she didn't say anything.

"Hey, Lily. Lily?!"

[Shut up!] She yelled.

She always yells, but this ti it was louder, the loudest one so far.

My hands automatically covered my ears.

[Take out your weapon]

"Did you forget we ca here to find the weapon? All I have is this dagger, and I don't think it can do anything against a skeleton!" I said as I took out my dagger.

"What now?"

I do the sa as I did with those snails using the dagger.

[Wait for it to attack.]

"Seriously?"

[Seriously.]

"Fine."

The skeleton just stood there and kept looking at us....

Suddenly, it dropped its shield with the 'clank.'

"Is it surrendering?"

[It is preparing for an attack.]

"The skeleton is 5 ters away from us. There is no way it can attack from--"

It grabbed its sword with both hands and raised it.

"..."

The sword size increased to five to six ters long.

I was awed by that.

He swung his sword at .

[Dodge!]
