Reincarnated in the game world ~ A gamer's beginning to [Dungeon job hunting recommendation]

"Sierra, Lana, are you all right?"

"No problem."

"It just about scared me, and some kind of unpleasant sweat is coming out."

Somehow, both of them safely made it out.

The two of them look all fine as they come out from the billowing dust and smoke. Except that Lana's face looks a bit pale.

Now that I think about it, it was from her blunder in Bear-Cum-Anteater fight that she began to take boss targets seriously. Maybe because of the full power bombardment, her usual cheerfulness seems to have vanished somewhere.

Sierra on the other hand is full of life with the aid of Lana's healing, not minding the brunt her HP has taken. Her face looks as cool and prim as ever as if the full power bombardment of the gun's bulー, I mean shower of thorns earlier was a lie. That's quite heroic to be honest.

I also want to try brushing off the thorns bombardment with an indifference expression.

"But, I'm really sorry. I would have used my unique skill <Absolute Charm Shield> but it was impossible given the distance. I should have defended closer to the boss."

Sierra quietly mutters out.

<Shield Princess>'s unique skill, <Absolute charm shield>, can force the opponent the target to change its focus, for example, <Cowboy Cactus> focus could have been forced to shift to Sierra even if it intended to attack Lana.

However, Sierra and the boss had quite a wide gap in between as the <Cowboy Cactus> is a long distance attacker and that distance just happened to be outside of the effective range of her unique skill.

Sierra's unique skill's only flaw is its short range.

It's true that Lana would have been saved from facing the danger if Sierra had used her unique skill Immediately at that timing instead of dashing to Lana's side, nevertheless it was still a perfect response in my eyes, so I just followed Sierra on her reflection.

"Well, there wasn't any blunder, so you don't need to care so much about it. All is well when the result is well. It's great that you two passed this wave unhurt."

Rika and Karua catch up while I was making sure Lana and Sierra are completely fine.

"Both of you are safe is all that matters, and you were great as always, Sierra-sama."

"Hnn, it was amazing how you received the attacks."

"W-well. It wasn't that much of a big deal...... "

Ohh, the cool Sierra until now has changed to shy Sierra when Rika and Karua praised her.

Sierra rarely shows that side of her. She looks absolutely adorable with the slight vermilion color on her cheeks and her shy demeanor which have a gap with her usual expression! Fantastic. For the love of God, why the hell is there no screenshot function in the real <Dungeon Activity>!

With no way in, I could only etch her shy appearance in my eyes.

"Can you please stop staring at me so intently?"

"Oof, you returned to your usual stern expression. What a pity."

The moment of Sierra 's shyness ended as soon as it came. I secretly swore to see if I could switch on her shy side next time.

"Hnn, Zephyr. There are four silver chests."

"What! It's beautifying phenomenon!!"

I inadvertently yelled at the successive hit!

Four treasure chests shining in the silvery light entered my vision when I turned my neck with sparkling eyes as soon as Rika's report reached into my ears.

The silver chest, what's more, doubled! It must be the hidden grace of Sachineko-sama to have <Beautifying Phenomenon>.

"Woah, 4 treasure chests! I will open them!!"

"No, we are all going together!"

I quickly intercepted Lana whose eyes were also sparkling as she broke into a dash.

I can never allow it!

"W-What's the matter with Her Highness Lana, and even Zephyr?"

"Oh, leave them be. They're just playing around. They are like that everyday."

"I see. So they are just playing."

Rika let out a confused voice seeing my and Lana's eccentric behavior. However, Sierra cooly explained it to her as she couldn't be anymore familiar with our actions.

But it's that beautifying phenomenon, you know! Why doesn't she look hyped about it?

"Hnn, Hurry up, Zephyr."

"Wait. I'm coming right away."

"And Karua, you must not open them alone!"

But who was so eager to open them just now?

Karua, the quickest one, arrived first in front of the treasure chests and everyone came there in droves to join.

Let's see, there are 4 treasure chests, but we are 5 people. Someone will have to be left behind, but who would be that person? Obviously not Lana, I could read her eagerness to open it already. In fact, she has already decided on which one she's going to open and has stood in front of it.

I would have wanted her to step back originally but I think a kind of reward is necessary with the scary ordeal she went through earlier.

Thus left us with the 3 treasure chests.

"Hnn, the treasure chest. I wonder if I can try one."

"No problem."

Karua isn't so assertive normally so I subconsciously approved of her rare case of selfishness. I glanced at Lana and Sierra and was glad to see they don't have any objection either.

"Now we’re left with two chests."

"I don't think it's necessary to make such a big deal out of it...... "

I felt as if I heard Sierra's voice struggling to understand my serious version of the Hero's voice, maybe it's just my imagination.

"Just open the rest with you two. I will take my turn next time."

"Sierra, you have my eternal gratitude!"

"Stop it, you're putting me into a tough spot with your heavy gratitude...... Because, you're going to blow the flute again, aren't you?"

I think Sierra just said something in the second half of her sentence but I have already lost myself in the splendor of the treasure chest that I ignored.

It's the treasure chest of a rare boss, moreover they are doubled with the graces of <Beautifying Phenomenon>. There's a high chance of getting something good. And when I think I might be the one who will win the jackpot, I can't stop myself from trembling in excitement.

"All set now. Then let's pray to Sachineko-sama everyone!"

"Oh the great Sachineko-sama, we are very much grateful for your grace of the <Beautifying Phenomenon>! May we also get a better drop next!"

"Hey Zephyr, you should show more appreciation in your words!"

Lana rebuked me for the short prayer, but either way, our preparations were done and everyone opened their treasure chest simultaneously.

"A recipe!"

The ones who shouted at the same time were Lana and Karua.

It seems the first two members who decided on the treasure chest got the same reward, the recipe. I will have Marie-senpai decipher it later.

As it was decided, the cost for the flute will be paid 50-50 by me and Lana. But as for how the drops ownership will be handled is still in haze. Well, such trifling matters can be handled later.

Celestine may have to work hard only a bit.

Next is my turn, I'm getting pumped all over!

"Wo-Woah! I got <Stage 3 Skill Reinforcement Jewel>!"

In the treasure chest lay two palm size red jewels.

I hold each in one hand and lift them up. Jackpot!

"What is this?"

"Nice question, Sierra."

I explained to her as she came by my side to take a closer look at jewels.

The name of the item is <Stage 3 Skill Reinforcement Jewel>.

Just as its name sounds, it's a disposal item which can raise the level of skills affixed to items or accessories by 3 levels. It's an extremely strong item.

Now, if some may wonder, Isn't it too strong to raise the level by 3, then one also has to remember the ocean of items/accessories in <Dungeon Activity>, the availability of such items is abysmally low compared to colossus demand. Even if you handpicked the items/accessories, they aren't enough even by then. In addition, there are many types of <Reinforcement Jewels>, and any of them is extremely coveted!

By the way, the one in my hand is the <Skill> version but there is also <Magic> version and they are available from the range of stage 1 to stage 9.

Normally speaking, <Reinforcement jewels> begin to drop from intermediate dungeons but since the strength of rare bosses in beginner-high grade dungeons is comparable to those bosses, Stage 1-3 reinforcement jewels are sometimes mixed in the drops of rare bosses.

I have to hurriedly think where to use them.

"What about Rika?"

"Oh. I got this, but do you know what this is, Zephyr?"

Saying that, Rika takes out an emerald color book from the chest.

"Isn't this <Book of Support Recovery>!? It's a valuable drop!"

"O-Ohhh"

"Hey, calm down Zephyr. Can't you see you're troubling Rika?"

"Very well, let me explain to you."

"Hey, are you even listening to Zephyr!?"

The book of support recovery Rika got is a book classified as a weapon. It's mainly used by magicians. Its effect is as follows : Magical power 13, <Healing 5> and <Protection 8>.

Frankly speaking, it's quite weak as the drop of a beginner-high grade dungeon rare boss. A type of a miss drop in normal times.

However, our guild <Eden> heavily lacks healers, and there's cutthroat competition for the recovery magic. Besides, since it's a weapon, it is naturally possible to turn it into a <Ability Orb>.

Hannah can equip it by powering it up and turning it into a <Magic Ability Orb>! She can become a bomber as well as a healer... Fuhaha!

It's getting more and more interesting!

T/N : Please read the note down there, or skip to the tl;dr section directly.

Hi there everyone, I saw some comments or reviews complaining about the use of "desu" many times in lines or "sama". To begin with the explanation, the "desu'' there in lines is a peculiar habit of Pamela, imagine an anime character adding desu after every line (for example Yae in In another world with my smartphone anime, she added de-gozaru). The only reason I didn't add any note was because the explanation in the chapter she introduced was self-explanatory. Now, I would have removed it for sure, but I am a translator, I can't cut things from raws on my own else it would just be like a fanfiction where I'm adding what I want and removing what I don't. For example, in previous translated chapters before me has cut off many lines and some few explanations like how the "berserker" job is actually a troll job and some other minor things.

Tl;dr :

If you want me to remove desu in further or before chapters, you can react on sign ^ for Yes or v for no in my comment in chapter 193.

As for honorifics, I will make some adjustments.

Readers can always comment on the site under chapters or in the discord server. I would have acted before but only saw one comment and the review in the novel update only today.

Have a nice day!
