Chapter 37

Chapter Thirty-Seven: A Wild, Legal Rich Loli!?

Not long after, on the second floor of the shop, a girl descended from the staircase.

Being human, her appearance immediately brought to mind the word “delicate doll.” Her petite stature, less than 150 centimeters, only reinforced this impression.

Her silver-white fine hair flowed down to her waist, and beside her large eyes were lashes that seemed dreamlike.

Her outfit was the white-based uniform of a Familial Group, faintly reminiscent of a healer’s attire.

Amide Teiasanare.

A member of the Cadiante Familial Group, a Level 2 senior adventurer, one of the three great overpowered individuals in Orario, bearing the title of [Battle Maiden].

“Hello, Mr. Izay, it’s been a while…”

“It’s only been a few days… not that long.”

Facing the polite greeting from the girl, Izay responded with a light laugh.

“A few days is quite long for adventurers, especially for someone like Mr. Izay who makes entering and exiting the Dungeon a daily routine.”

Amide took the small bottle Izay had placed on the counter beforehand, examining it briefly as she chatted idly with Izay.

“To make a living, ya know~ Can’t help it~”

“Becoming an adventurer for just half a month, going to floors six or seven to make a living? Mr. Izay’s lifestyle is truly unique~”

“Cough cough, Amide, you’ll lose friends talking like that.”

Casual words used to deflect were bluntly exposed by the girl, leaving Izay somewhat flustered.

Speaking of which, Amide was one of the few people who knew a little about his progress.

It seemed that during the Loki Familia expedition preparations, Tiona accidentally mentioned here that there was a new member in the group, a phrase that Amide remembered.

Combined with Izay’s frequent visits to the Healing Clinic these days, it wasn’t hard to connect the dots.

It had been no more than half a month since Izay became an adventurer.

And for an inexperienced newcomer who had just become an adventurer, venturing into floors below the fifth was akin to suicide—a common sense shared by most people in Orario.

Even Amide couldn’t figure out how Izay managed to obtain so many Blue Butterfly wings and Purple Moth powder during the period when the main force of the Familial Group went on an expedition.

But delving too deeply into a customer’s secrets wasn’t something Amide liked to do.

Surprised internally, she quickly set aside this matter and focused on the task at hand.

“These quantities of Blue Butterfly wings and Purple Moth powder, would Mr. Izay prefer cash as payment or Spiritual Medicine?”

“I’ll take the medicine; I’m not short on cash right now.”

“I see.”

Amide nodded, turning to rummage through the glass storage cabinet next to her.

Soon, two boxes of prepared Spiritual Medicine were handed to Izay.

“Ten high-grade mental recovery potions and ten high-grade physical recovery potions, how does that sound?”

The former costs two thousand Valis per unit, and the latter also costs one thousand Valis per unit.

Just the value of these drop items amounted to three hundred thousand Valis, equivalent to a third of what Izay had gained previously from the Gubernue Familia.

Should we say doctors really are a lucrative profession?

Sigh, so rich~

Hmm? Speaking of being rich… isn’t there a wild, legal rich loli right in front of me???

Izay suddenly realized this point.

Judging from both appearance and physique, Amide was incredibly petite, standing only at one meter fifty—she was entirely a loli.

Yet strangely enough, she was already seventeen years old, considered an adult in this world…

Suddenly, Izay felt like he had a bold idea! (Tactical lean-back.jpg)

“Um… Mr. Izay?”

“Hmm? What is it?”

However, the next moment, Amide’s slightly strange voice reached his ears, prompting Izay to respond instinctively.

“I felt like you were thinking something rather impolite just now…”

“Was I? It must be your imagination.”

A hint of suspicion appeared on Amide’s delicate doll-like face, but she was quite confident in her intuition.

Yet seeing Izay’s serious expression, answering without hesitation or any sign of guilt, it didn’t seem fake either.

For a moment, the girl’s heart fell into slight confusion…

In the end, Amide chose to trust Izay, attributing the strange feeling earlier to her own imagination.

As Izay packed away the two boxes of Spiritual Medicine, he waved goodbye to her.

“Thanks, Amide. If I encounter Blue Butterflies again, I’ll definitely visit~”

“Alright, then safe travels to you.”

After bidding farewell to Amide, Izay first returned to the Twilight Manor to store the Valis he had earned, then set off for the Adventurer’s Guild with some of the Spiritual Medicine.

“With my current Ability Values, if I want to gather enough ‘Great Deeds’ experience to level up, there are two optimal choices.”

“Either head to the Middle Layers and slay multiple monsters with potential Ability Values of Level 2… or kill ‘Enhanced Species’ monsters in the Middle Layers. Fulfilling either condition will solve my leveling needs.”

“Anyway, I must go to the Middle Layers…”

Walking on the road toward the Adventurer’s Guild, Izay analyzed his current situation.

During this time, because he had to focus on developing magic to compensate for his shortcomings, he had delayed his trip to the Middle Layers.

Now, with the addition of three new spells fully supporting his offensive capabilities, it was time to explore the Middle Layers.

The two best options for leveling up were plans devised through private discussions between Izay and Loki.

With Loki’s extensive experience as the main deity of a Familial Group, the reliability was fully assured.

What remained was gathering information about the Middle Layers.

……

Adventurer Street, Guild Headquarters.

The Guild Headquarters was bustling with voices early in the morning.

From morning till noon, during this period, the spacious hall would be filled with many adventurers coming to take a look before entering the Dungeon.

Some came to discuss future plans with responsible personnel before exploring the Dungeon, but most were checking the massive bulletin board or hearing the latest news from fellow adventurers.

Including advertisements for new product releases from commercial factions, purchase requests for specific drop items, distribution maps of other Familial Groups.

And reports of sightings of rare monster species within the Dungeon that had not yet been confirmed, whether there were any “abnormal conditions,” and intelligence regarding whether floor bosses had spawned and been conquered by which Familial Group.

For adventurers, the information publicly released by the Guild had sufficient value to make them excited.

This information could easily sway tomorrow’s fate, meaning tomorrow’s wealth.

Naturally, adventurers gathered this information with utmost diligence.

In the brightly lit hall by the morning sun, various demi-human races gathered, their feet and mouths never stopping for a moment.
