Let's Be An Adventurer! ~Defeating Dungeons With A Skill Board~ Chapter 1 Part2

The next day, Haruki went out of the house with carefully equip his weapon.

His weapon is a combat knife of about 30 centimeters purchased for 20,000 yen. It is an entry model made by Mitsubis.h.i.+. On the blade, a logo of 『一』 is crafted together with its series name.

His protective gear is a (white) helmet for construction use and slightly compacted with leather.

His elbow and knee supported with safety gear. Total sum is 10,000 yen.

None are dungeon exclusive armor.

His weapon is considerably difference.

Of course, there are reasons why price of his protective gear is cheap.

It's not because he's stingy.

He doesn't have enough money to buy good equipment.

Truly, he at least wants to purchase specialized equipment

But he has no choice but to proceed.

As a matter of fact, every beginner are similar in nature.

Except for a few rich people, beginner adventurers are generally poor.

It is natural not to be able to buy a protective gear for dungeon.

It is a weapon that is problematic for Haruki's equipment.

There are only few adventurers equipped with a dagger or knife.

The reason is simple. It is because it can't kill monsters.

Diving in the dungeon and fighting monsters is like killing a bear physically.

Does anyone have a knife to fight bears?

......No, there is not.

Killing bear with a knife is only for someone like Seagal[1].

But not everyone is like Seagal.

So, they are preferred to attack from safer distance with powerful weapon.

"Let's Become" has done an investigation for weapon type used by adventurers.

Bow = Large Sword > Long Sword >> Sword >>>>> etc.

With, bow and large sword occupied more than half of chart.

By the way, knife, dagger, blunt weapon, and the like are not included.

Of course some adventurers fight with knives.

But they are for senior adventurers who fight with lower rank monsters for fun or training.

Demerit of dagger is larger to that extent.

So why did Haruki choose such unpopular knife?

Of course, it is because it stands out.

Even for someone who has Air like existence, showing such style will surely stand out.

Thinking like that he choose a knife, but...... until now there is no effect.

Surely someday, Haruki believe that this hards.h.i.+p will be rewarded.

Whether it is a praise or a ridicule and a curse,

"That fellow, he is fighting with a knife!" it is a victory if they say that.

Hold the IC card over the ticket gate, retinal authentication is performed.

Data a.s.sociated with the IC is read, only after the retina is matched the ticket gate open.

If someone forcibly pa.s.s through this, a report will instantly be send to the police.

Standing on the first step of the dungeon staircase, Haruki puts his hand in front of his chest.

Then, a tablet like stone slate come out of his chest.

"As expected"

After he came back to home yesterday, he tried to take out the stone slate several times in his room but it didn't work.

Perhaps it won't even possible to take it out.

It can only be used in dungeon, a restricted type magic tool.

It is also the first time for Haruki to see a magic tool.

Besides, magic tools are not something that novice adventurers can easily grab.

Magic tools are items rarely come from the treasure box that appears in the dungeon.

There are various kinds.

Everything looks different, but what is in common is "it demonstrate effects beyond human knowledge".

Magic bags are probably the most famous magic tool.

It is beyond human knowledge, although it size only enough for a watermelon, it is possible to store more items. It is such a bag.

As it is famous, an eyeball protrudes price will be attached when it set on auction.

It can be acquired for maximum around 3 billion became a hot topic recently.

It was purchased by a large company, a weapon dealer under Kawakami Industry.

The successful bidder who answered the interview,

"I'm thinking of decorating this in the store to entertain customers' eyes."

And so his answer.

Is it the first melon. (TL: I'm not sure what does it mean.)

Next is the famous magical sword.

The effect is unknown.  The existence of the magic sword has been confirmed, but information about the effect does not circle.

Perhaps the acquirer is limiting the information.

They are scared of theft, or it is too dangerous so it can't be told.

Some mysterious weird magic tools also came out.

Is it too early for mankind that n.o.body knows how to use it, mostly it is sold at discard price.

Even collectors do not put out their hands afraid of curses.

Anyway, the skill board Haruki got on is sure to be that kind of magic tools.

Haruki sat on the stair and look at the stone slate.
