The Hidden Dungeon Only I Can Enter

Chapter 96 The teacher’s treasure is ****

In the morning of next the day after catching the turtle.

I was spending it leisurely. Reveling in the fact that no one was home, I didn’t even make an effort to get out of the bed.

When closer to the noon I was finally munching on a loaf of bread, I heard a familiar voice coming from the entrance.

「Hello. Since I’m free I came.」

「Yes, welcome.」

It was Layla-san. Since she said she also didn’t have lunch yet, I lead her to the table and put bread on it. She made a bit dubious expression.

「Eehm, is this all for lunch?」

「Lately we got some money, but in the olden days we were poor, so as an influence.」

During the bad times, we would have for lunch only a soup that had no taste at all… That was mostly hot water. Good-for-nothing father.

「If you are fine with me, I can make something.」

「Please.」

As soon as I showed her the ingredients at home, she started cooking.

It seems that it’s okay for me to rest.

I decided to do light training in the garden. I review ukemi and punching forms.

「It’s done.」

When I came inside, on the table were lined up beef with stir-fried vegetables and egg dishes.

「Looks tasty!」

「Go ahead and enjoy it.」

I began devouring it. Nom nom nom, gulp.

I swallowed too much at once and hurt my throat. I think everyone had such an experience.

…Well, I’m sorry to say this, but I feel like her cooking is better than mother’s! Though she has a firm character she is also kind, her future husband is a happy man, were my unnecessary fantasies at the time.

「Ufufu, you are eating so deliciously, it makes me happy. 」

「It’s very tasty… Ah, sorry for the other day. Did that person complain to you later?」

「It’s okay. I’m sorry as well. I couldn’t stop him.」

It’s not something she should be apologizing for.

Or rather, as soon as we started talking about the guild, her expression became gloomy. I also felt it during the incident with mysterious thief Phantom, but could it be she doesn’t fit in within Ramuh?

「If Ramuh doesn’t suit you, you can always come to our guild.」

「…Thank you. But going to a rival guild might be problematic. I will try to hold on for a bit more.」

Sometimes people get pulled into a rival guild.

However, in such cases, there might be harassment from the previous guild.

Were that to happen, I intend to give my full support.

After finishing lunch, I exercised in the garden again.

I became more or less able to use close combat and grappling techniques.

「Excuse me. Noir-dono, are you there?」

「Luna-san. Come inside.」

Luna-san came in. Maybe a little surprised by the presence of Layla-san, she raised her eyebrows slightly.

「So you weren’t alone.」

「I am a bother?」

「Well, it’s not like it’s not like that.」

「Eh, I’m really a bother?」

「…I’m kidding. It’s just that I was hoping… No, expecting, to get time alone with Noir-dono. But it’s fine. If you’d like, how about going with us, Layla-san?」

「It sounds kind of fun. I guess I’ll tag along with you.」

With three people it would be merrier. We go outside and head out of the town. What bothered me was that Luna-san was carrying two spades.

Even when I asked her about the reason, she would get stubborn and refuse to reveal that.

When we were leaving the town gatekeeper made fun of me.

That I don’t look capable of protecting two ladies. Well, that’s how others see me.

Though I got stronger, I still look weak.

Anyway, the place we were led to by Luna-san was inside the woods.

It’s a pretty dangerous place where you can often encounter demonic dogs. She should be aware of that as well.

「There is a man that visits the church every day, and he told me that a treasure lies somewhere in those woods.」

Luna-san seems somewhat excited, but all of that lacked credibility…

This is a place where adventurers come often, all things considered, I think it’s long since emptied.

As if anticipating my thoughts, Luna-san raised the corners of her mouth.

「Be at ease, it’s not that easy to find. Because as the word goes, it was hidden by that famous adventurer, Olivia herself!」

The teacher did?! If that is true it must be a noteworthy item, but I never heard about that from the teacher.

When I tried to point out that it must be a false rumor, even Layla-san got involved.

「I also have heard about it in my own country. Olivia has hid treasure chests all over this country.」

It was a pretty famous story in her country. According to the character of the teacher… It wouldn’t be strange if she did it to kill time.

「My intuition tells me it is buried underground. Let’s search together.」

「Please wait. Don’t you think that this would be relying on blind luck too much?」

「Not really. Let me explain you the reason.」

Luna-san’s explanation went as following.

At the place where we are right now, hounds and other monsters frequently appear.

Therefore, if she were to hid her treasure she would choose a place anyone wants to leave as soon as possible. Since it’s a forest, hiding places are limited to the ground or the trees.

Generally speaking, the probability of it being in the ground was higher. So we should try digging with a spade.

That’s what she insisted on.

Honestly, it would be the quickest if I just asked the teacher, but there is a good chance that she doesn’t remember herself.

It did sound interesting, so I decided to go along with it. For two hours I’ve been digging the ground with a spade.

A number of holes were created in the ground. But the treasure is yet to be found.

「Gaw! Gaw Gaw!」

Surely it’s not like they had any intentions of getting in our way, but demon hounds showed up. Their fur was unkempt and ruffled and the body was larger than that of an ordinary dog. Constantly drooling is also was characteristic of them.

「Don’t bother us!」

*Phew Phew*

Luna-san instakilled them with the magic gun. Immediately, several of their comrades came, but this time Layla-san charged into them.

Hit by a fist enhanced with magical power, demon dogs scatter into pieces as if they were caught in an explosion.

「Energy Shot!」

Luna-san provides support by shooting a mass of powerful energy. As a dog’s head went off, I embraced both feeling of admiration and fear at the same time.

Let’s try not to oppose these two.

Attacking monsters weren’t a big deal, and so we kept digging for a few hours more. As expected, surroundings were getting darker and as it seemed hopeless today I was starting to give up.

Around that time, I was surprised as I felt like I hit something hard with a spade.

「Could it be?」

As I dug down in haste, it really was there. Although covered in dirt, it was a treasure chest that properly maintained its form.

「As expected from Noir-dono.」

「Kyaa! Amazing, could it be a real Olivia’s treasure box!?」

Though usually both of them belonged to the cool type, right now they were excited enough to jump around holding hands. And I was the same, I can’t stop my heart pounding.

Slightly trembling, I put my hand on the treasure chest.

It seems that it wasn’t locked.

After looking at each other, I was delegated to open the lid of the treasure box.

From inside, in the sparkling glitter, showed themselves riches of gold and silver… Well, not really.

「Are those… Women’s underwear?」

Why treasure box has something like this?

Suppose it really was the teacher who put those there, but that should have happened more than two hundred years ago.

And yet, pretty sexy purple bra and panties didn’t show any signs of decay and looked completely new.

When I checked them with item appraisal to confirm my guess, it turned out that they actually had a skill preventing deterioration.

Teacher, you surely wasted LP as you please…

And there was a letter.

『Olivia’s Advice. If you are a girl, then put those on and make an approach on your loved one. You probably will seduce him. If you are a boy, then put them on your head and debut in a city.』

「You’ll get caught!」

You can feel her character even from a letter.

「No-Noir-kun. Is there something like a special skill? 」

「No, only decay prevention.」

「I see, then maybe I should take those.」

Eh, Layla-san will take such adult-like underwear? As she reached out for it, Luna-san slapped on her hand.

「I want it as well! I don’t think rushing ahead of others is permitted.」

「…Luna-san, aren’t you a saintess? Is it okay to wear such a thing?」

「Umu, it’s okay. God will forgive. I will take this for safekeeping.」

「Then I’ll take this.」

Luna-san took panties, and Layla-san took bra. Both of them were extremely happy.

When I asked about the reason, it seems that there is a worth to it just by being the teacher’s underwear. It also seems that being able to seduce the loved one is also an important point. I wonder if it will work.

「Well, we got the treasure, so let’s go back.」

Looks like it’s a treasure for these two. Well, it seems they are satisfied, so it’s fine I guess.

When we got to the town entrance Luna-san gave me a long hug in gratitude for keeping her company today. I get LP, so it’s much appreciated.

「You are accumulating LP, right? If you are okay with me, I too can help.」

「Thank you.」

I get LP from hugging with Layla-san as well. Such unremarkable but stable activities will turn into strength when the situation will call for it.

Under the moonlight, I, waving a hand, part with the two.
