Yes. The thing that lies there is a good-old gold chest.

O' the gold chest, Receive my humble gratitude for raising our tension.

" "It's a gold chest!" " current novels on fɾēewebnσveℓ.com.

The rearguard Lana and Hannah also shouted and immediately dashed towards it.

I also broke into run reflexively and as someone who was attacking the boss from close proximity, I arrived first.

"Fuhaha! I'm the first!"

"Hey-hey Zephyr, that's foul play! you were already there!"

"T-That's right Zephyr, don't be so childish"

Lana and Hannah seemed to be getting angry at me for some reason. Just how much they want the gold chest... ? Though, not like I was acting any different either.

"I will open the gold chest this time!"

"What tyranny! I will never allow this!"

"That's right, let-let's discuss about it, Zephyr"

This is our first gold chest in the Intermediate dungeon. I will not let this honour be snatched away by anyone else.

"This is the first gold chest in the Intermediate dungeon. The first, so of course it should be opened by the guild master a.k.a me"

"Ludicrous! And I never heard of such a rule! Rather, such events should be given to the Princess, in other words me, to handle. This Princess will open it!"

"I don't know what Lana-sama is talking about. I have never heard the rights of events like this should belong to Princess, of course, the same goes for Zephyr claim. Since none of both can make up their mind, I will open it"

" "Rejected!" "

Unbelievable. It's not every time I proposed myself for opening them but this time doing that put me, Lana and Hannah at odds against each other.

What a terrific sorcery item the gold chest is......

A conflict arose among us with the gold chest on line and no one seems like they're going to give up.

"Just what are you guys doing? Hurry up and open it, we don't have time to waste"

Sierra who comes beside has an exasperated expression as she chided us.

As expected of Sierra who never backed off against a strong adversary. She didn't even flinch while intervening in our dispute.

I and Hannah couldn't say anything against the silent pressure emanating from Sierra's eyes but there was one other person who wasn't bothered by that.

"Listen to me, Sierra! Zephyr is saying he's going to open the first gold chest of the Intermediate dungeon! I also want to open it first!"

"Your Highness Lana, please bear with the gold chest"

"W-whaa!?"

Albeit she was cut shortly.

A groan leaks out of Lana from a curt remark of Sierra implying she will not listen to any objection.

A demon, I can see a demon in Sierra. And with her remarks vanished any chance of opening the gold chest for Lana this time. I can even feel the level of silent pressure has increased a bit.

"Is there anything Zephyr and Hannah want to say to me?" freewebnoveℓ.com

I and Hannah were seized by the terror that if we even so much as said anything, we can kiss our chance for opening the gold chest goodbye. The stiff atmosphere formed from our shameful conflict earlier vanished and all I could do was to remain upright so as not to catch Sierra's attention.

I fear ever turning my head so I can't see it but I assume Hannah must have been feeling the same.

"No? Very well, so there shouldn't be any objection if I decide on the order either"

Sierra's sense of responsibility has increased ever since she became the guild master! I can see she has awfully grown up in this aspect. But why I'm feeling as if her aura is screaming "it's because I forget my responsibility and play around" that she has to take the helm.

O' god, let it be just my hallucination and nothing else.

Sierra gave us a sweet smile seeing our silent affirmation, that was all we could do, and said like a judge handing out their judgement.

"You will open it this time, Zephyr. Hannah's turn will be on the next gold chest. You can't start a fight over it, understand?"

"Yes, thank you very much!"

As soon as I got the permission, I reflexively shout out my gratitude.

Hurray! I have finally won the right to open the gold chest! Don't ask me what I won against though, I don't even know that by myself.

"I assume this settled the case. Your Highness's turn will be after Hannah"

"Umm~ Zephyr is so envious"

"You're still faring better than me, Hannah. My turn is next after next, I doubt it will come today. Not to say it's getting harder to explore with current members...... "

It turned disastrous for Lana but this is what she sows. Today I have witnessed the saying wake not the sleeping lion isn't just some meaningless phrase.

"I will open then, grant me the good luck, I'M Sachineko-sama"

I have this mysterious inkling that I will get something good from this chest. After praying to Sachineko-sama as such feelings swirl inside me, I opened the chest. Everyone turned to look inside.

What lies inside was a one-handed sword.

"Ohh, <Dinosaur slaying Sword>!"

As I quickly took it out to analyse, Lana asked with an impatient expression.

"Slayer? Leave that aside and tell me, is it a hit, Zephyr?"

"Yes, it's quite a success. I didn't expect <Dinosaur slaying sword> to appear here. What should I do?"

I lost myself in reverie as my eyes laid on the sword.

As the name telltale, the <Dinosaur slaying sword> is the special attack type sword. It's a strong piece of equipment that grants the wearer a damage bonus of 1.2× with normal attacks against the dinosaur type monsters.

The details are as follows;

——————————

<Dinosaur slaying sword - ATK 67>

[Dinosaur killer - Lv5] [Dinosaur Slayer - Lv7]

——————————

Dinosaur killer is a passive skill that increases the damage against dinosaur type monsters.

Dinosaur slayer is an active skill which deals special damage to dinosaur type monsters.

Although it's a special equipment that is effective only in <Dinosaur's hill dungeon>, the damage bonus is just impossible to ignore.

Besides, it's a sword type weapon which I can equip. It's just......

Incidentally, this is the status of the firmament sword I'm equipped with.

———————————

<Firmament Sword: ATK 85, MAG ATK 51, Holy attribute>

———————————

The sword looks simple with no skills but as compensation, the status it provides is so lucrative.

However the <Dinosaur slaying sword> is much stronger in case of exploring this dungeon, the sword is simply a nightmare for dinosaur monsters after all.

Equipping this sword will remove the firmament serie buff <Abnormal status resistance Lv3> and this dungeon basically asks for higher status than anything, so there's not any problem regarding this.

Also the pure white brilliance would disappear but I guess limiting to this dungeon is just fine as well.

The only bottleneck of this sword is that it doesn't offer any magic attack which will drastically reduce the might of <Magic>. However it should be somehow doable with using the <Dinosaur Slayer> which will increase the number of moves available.

Thus, I no longer contemplated.

"Let's change the weapon"

I'm finally going to change the weapon after a long time.
