Dungeons Appeared in Real Life Chapter 24

The alarm clock rings as usual.
I stop that alarm and open my eyes.
I raise my upper body and stretch out.
The weather is cloudy but that isn’t a problem.
I got off the bed, change my clothes and start working early in the morning.
I can’t cut corners, I have to watch the vegetables frequently because they could be stung by insects because we won’t sprinkle pesticide.
It won’t sell if it gets stung by insects.

That way I do my usual work and have breakfast.
I start to eat monster meat at the breakfast to have the energy to go to the dungeon.
That day monster meat was also served and I eat it.
I was eating a rabbit heart.
Then, when I was chewing, I chewed something hard.
What? I put my finger in my mouth and take it out.
A small stone came out.
It was light green and 1 mm in size.
When I was thinking, what is this? My mother apologized.

“Oh? Was that included? Sorry. I didn’t notice it.”

“Ah? Perhaps, has that ever been there?”

“That’s right. Although it’s not often.”

“Hmmm, is that so? So, what did you do when it came out?”

“For the time being, I take them. Because their color was beautiful.”

“Please show me later.”

“Okay”

For the time being, I decided to finish my breakfast first.
When I finish and the cleaning is completed, I asked her to show me the stones that came from the monsters so far.
When she shows me the stones, there were 6 in all with a size is about 1 mm, 1 was red and the other 5 were green.
I was wondering what these stones were and

look them up on the net.
In the search result, they were known as magic stones and seem to be in the body of some monsters.
It seems that this magic stone is under investigation for now.
However, it was just treated like a jewel. Moreover, it seems that the value is low.
In a game or the like is a currency or material/fuel of magic tools, but it can’t be currency and since there are no magic tools, it can’t be used for that.
So, seems like it’s worthless for now?
Effect?
I think you can see the value of the magic stones.
I mean, nothing happened.
Well, I thought if I can also use the magic stones?
But, it might have some effect just that you don’t know it.

“Mom, is it okay to take this red stone?”

“That’s okay. Anyway, it came out of the meat that you brought.”

“Thanks”

That said, I take the red Stone.
I put in a small bag together with the stone that came out at the meal.

Now, what to do with these stones?
Do I take them with me when I go to the dungeon?
A change may happen in the same way as the rucksack.

I finish preparations for the dungeon in a few minutes.
Yesterday I didn’t dive in the dungeon because of an unnecessary activity.
To the extent that I have to work hard today.

I bring Pochi, Haku, and Koku, moreover the chickens too, into the dungeon.
The chickens have to take action on the first floor.

“Don’t scatter like you always do, okay? Everybody take action together. Okay, go”

Said that I release the chickens on the first floor.
We saw the chickens off and get on

on the transition formation.
The destination is the third floor.
When we move to the third floor, we proceed with the usual battle formation.
The battles with the frogs that appear on the third floor weren’t a problem.
If that’s the case, after there, how about the monsters on the fourth floor?
I won’t know until I fight them, but I feel that I’m going to manage somehow if I have Pochi.
Of course, Haku and Koku are also reliable.
Before that, we have to find a way to go to the fourth floor.
So today’s goal is to find a way to the fourth floor.

As we advance the road of the third floor, although frogs, rabbits, and rats came out we can defeat them with leeway, but I can’t be careless.
Especially frogs.
The frog’s rush attack could give considerable damage if Haku or Koku take it.
So, when fighting frogs I or Pochi give support.
A little more, if Kaku and Koku become stronger I won’t worry about them, but let’s raise them without rush.
Because overdoing could cause a bad result.
Overdoing isn’t good.
While looking for the way to the fourth floor Haku and Koku were fighting with a lot of monsters and becoming stronger.
But there isn’t many.
If there is five, three of them goes to Haku and Koku.
I mean frogs.
The others were beaten to be almost equal.
As we proceed, we arrived at a dead-end room.
There was no monster in that room.
Instead, there was a wooden box.

Wooden box?
Why is there a wooden box in this place?

Besides, it’s placed in the middle of the room ostentatiously.

Suspicious.
Too suspicious.
Although just the wooden box

wooden box is suspicious, being in the middle is also suspicious.
Now, what to do?

What about Pochi and the others?
They are seeing me without nothing to say.
I can ignore it and go to other places, but, maybe, there is something good in that box.
When I think about that, I will regret to move to another place.
For the time being, let’s approach the wooden box.

“Guys, wait. If you think is dangerous run away”

Said so, I approach the wooden box slowly.
First, check the floor.
I try poking the floor lightly with my feet, but there is no particular change.
Next, I take one step forward, putting my weight slowly.
Even so, there is no particular change.
I repeat that and finally arrive at the wooden box.
The size of the wooden box was about 1m in width, 80cm in height and 50 cm in depth.

There was no particular problem so far.
Then, is there a trap in this wooden box?
Let’s be careful.

I check if there’s anything unusual in the wooden box.
I see if there is anything unusual while turning around the wooden box, but there is nothing.

There is nothing unusual to look.
With that, I won’t know until I open it.

I put my hand on the lid.
First, I check whether the lid opens.
I try to raise the lid just a little.
And it raises smoothly.
There wasn’t an unusual feeling when I raised it.

There is no, trap, right?
If there is, let’s be careful to be away immediately.

I hold the lid tightly and raise it slowly.
I raised completely and the wooden box opened.
There was no trap.
I breathe out greatly and be relieved.
When I check /> When I check what is inside, it was a small bottle.
The size is about the same as a bottle of energy drink. (TN: like this)

That’s dull!!
For a box of this size, is there a small bottle inside?

Even though I think that I take it out.
When I took it out and look inside the bottle, I found out that there was a liquid.

What’s this liquid?
If this is the cla.s.sic development, it could be a potion, but I’m afraid to put in my mouth.
Do I take it home for the time being?

I put the small bottle in the rucksack.
There was nothing else in this room.
I go to Pochi and the others who were waiting at the entrance.
And we turn back.
When we were turning back, I suddenly thought.
Oh, that, it was a treasure chest.
I didn’t think so because it wasn’t like a treasure chest, but it contained an item so it was a treasure chest.
My first treasure chest is like that.
It’s too different from the treasure chest I was imagining.
Perhaps, is the treasure chest going to be like that from now on?
If so, I feel motivated.

After all, I was unable to find a way to the fourth floor on that day and I turned back.
I was troubled about what to do with the mysterious bottle I got, but it was good news that there was a treasure chest.
Because it wasn’t found at all on the first and second floor.
I will look forward to search for treasure chests from now on.
But, I want them to stop looking like a wooden box.
I think that it would be like a chest at least.
