Chapter 217


(217) Side Story Garrison’s Adventure Diary 4


Translator: Tseirp


The bottom of the pitfall was a slope which I slid down .


I imagined spikes under the pitfall which would impale the victims but that didn’t seem to be the case . If the intention was to kill then there wouldn’t be a need for such a long slope .


“Damn it . ”


I tried to brace myself but there was very little friction with the slope . It wasn’t just a slope . Even when I pushed against the wall with my gloved palms, even the walls were also slippery . I had no idea how such smooth walls were made but at any rate, I had no choice other than to allow my body to slide along .


After sliding for quite a distance, I saw a pitfall leading downwards . I fell into the hole without any means to resist . At least I’ll aim to properly mitigate my fall and stand ready .


Then, I fell from a height of about two and a half meters . I can’t say that my landing was perfect but at least I didn’t suffer any external injuries .


Then, situated there was —


“Orc!?”


Or not — it was the Goddess statue for Koshmar-sama .


Why is it here?


No, don’t tell me ―


(This is the Goddess Statue room!?)


Are you kidding me? Did we reach the Goddess Statue room without even defeating the boss?


(No, I’ve heard of it before … some labyrinths have secret passageways that lead straight to the Goddess Statue room — so this labyrinth is one of them huh?)


Well now, I’m likely to receive special remuneration if I inform the guild of this place .


For now, since I reached this place, let’s devote a prayer to the Goddess Statue .


【Title: Labyrinth Conqueror acquired】


【Clear Reward skill: Labyrinth Tool Transmutation acquired】


— !?


Labyrinth Tool Transmutation?


Serious!? It felt like I struck the lottery .


Labyrinth Tool Transmutation was a skill that allowed a person to transmute items that can be used in a labyrinth . It was an extremely rare skill and if I went to the Church, I could even get the same treatment as a Priest just by having that skill .


My life was looking to become rose-colored!


Just as I looked to the heavens, those two came falling down .


“What are you doing there, Garrison?”


“Whatchu doing there, Garrison?”


Jofre and Elize asked even though it was obvious just by looking as they were sitting on my back .


“I was crushed by you guys, just hurry up and move!”


Jofre and Elize didn’t stand up despite my angry outburst as they continued with their thoughts .


“At any rate, that was an amazingly slippery slope — by the way, it felt like I would experience that again but how about you, Elize?”


“I too felt something similar, Jofre . It must be one of those Déjà vu . ”


“Hey hey, Elize . If it hasn’t happened then it can’t be Déjà vu . That was a precognitive dream . ”


“Precognitive dream? Then was that a dream, Jofre?”


“I see, so it was a dream! No wonder it didn’t hurt even when I fell!”


“You guys didn’t feel any pain because I cushioned you! Get off now and go pray to the Goddess-sama or something!”


Jofre and Elize finally realized that there was a Goddess Statue in front of them and they prayed to it .


Upon doing so, a small gem-like rock fell in front of Jofre and a spear fell in front of Elize .


“Woah, you guys are lucky too . A skill book and a magic spear . ”


The skill book was the small rock that you can learn a skill from .


It was unknown what skill you would learn unless you appraise it . But it was an item that can be traded for at least a gold coin .


A magic spear was as its name implied a spear that you could channel magic into .


Well, both of those can’t beat the skill I acquired but they were under the win category .


“We did it, Elize . Quickly, give it a try now . ”


“It’s all right, it belongs to Jofre so Jofre should use it . ”


“You guys, leave that for later . More importantly, let’s hurry up and go back . ”


I pushed against the door behind me — and realized .


The door was locked .


“We’re trapped?”


Now that I think about it, the door to the back of the boss room won’t open unless you defeat the boss .


In other words, we won’t be able to exit until somebody clears this labyrinth?


But lately, the number of people challenging the labyrinth has decreased . People do periodically exterminate the monsters at the upper floors but it might take weeks until an adventurer comes all the way to this floor .


” … Is there some other way to exit?”


There was a keyhole-like slot but naturally I did not have the key and neither did I know lock picking techniques . Even if I could, the door was special so I would probably not be able to open it .


I finally got my hands on a rare skill so I would rather not die of hunger here … hn?


Rare skill huh — I wonder what kind of tools can I transmute?


I tried checking .

Level 1: Labyrinth Key | Required materials: Wire

Labyrinth Key? Oi oi, is this a dream? Prophetic dream?


To think it’s actually possible to create the key ― lucky .


But it’s still impossible … if I think about it, there’s no wire anywhere ― hn?


Speaking of which, I remembered and took it out .


The weapon Elize gave me ― the sewing needle .


This is made of metal too so it should be the perfect wire right? (TL: In Japanese wire can be translated loosely as needle metal which explains his logic . )
