Day 85: Ms. Nico’s Pouch.
Holy Era 6102, Month of the Seven Night Horses, 7th day.
Weather: —
It’s hot…I’m sleepy…this is rough.
While I’ve entered dungeons many times, this is something I can’t get used to…
I want to hurry up and go home and relax.
Currently, we were searching for slimes on the second floor of the Heero Underground Waterway Dungeon.
Last time, we were able to find them quite quickly… Where are they hiding?
Hah. And it really is hot.. We should rest for a while.
Ms. Noa is sweating a lot… Is she alright? Does she need some water?
As for Ms. Nico… Huh? She doesn’t look hot at all.
Huh? She is sweating, but has such a cool expression?
As I wondered about this, Ms. Nico took out a vial from her pouch.
It was filled with a glowing silver liquid… What was it?
When I asked her, she said it was a potion that made you not feel the heat.
If you drink it, you feel very cool. She said proudly.
And then she handed us each a vial.
What should I do… Is it really safe? Are there any side effects?
I was so worried that I turned to look at Ms. Noa.
…After troubling over it, I decided to drink it first.
As I hesitantly brought the vial to my lips, Ms. Noa watched and gulped.
…If something happens, please pick up my bones!
I signaled with my eyes, and then drank it all at once… Ugh! So bitter!!
The bitterness was so strong that I nearly spit it out, but managed to swallow it.
…After drinking it, I could feel the heat leaving my body.
Amazing…this potion.
Though my damp clothes still felt uncomfortable… It was definitely refreshing to not feel the heat.
As I was surprised by the effects, Ms. Nico reminded me that I still had to rehydrate.
Even if I didn’t feel the heat, I was still sweating, so you had to be careful.
While I was listening to this explanation, Ms. Noa drank the potion with teary eyes.
It really is bitter, huh… What was it made of?
Regardless, we were now free from the heat, and so it was time to look for the slimes again.
We walked through the second floor for some time…but still did not find any.
Last time, they attacked us to an exasperating degree… Why!!
I didn’t want to go, but we may have no choice but to go down to the third floor…
As I considered this, Ms. Nico took something out of her pouch and asked if I wanted to use it.
It was an earth colored mass…like a ball of dirt.
…She really pulled out all kinds of this from that pouch… I wonder what else is inside.
Ah, as for the mud ball, she said that it attracted monsters.
You just light it and leave it somewhere, and the monsters will be lured in.
…I didn’t know such things existed. However, it would not do this time.
If we attracted monsters in a cramped space like this, it would be horrifying!!
Dying because we created a monster house. It wasn’t a very funny joke.
When I said this, Ms. Nico looked disappointed that the tool wouldn’t be used.
…You don’t have to be that disappointed. I’m sure the opportunity will arise one day. Maybe,
I encouraged her, and she nodded weakly.
…While I still hated it, we had to head to the third floor then.
…Ah, I really don’t want to go.

(ﾟ-ﾟ;) Hmm. Ms. Nico’s pouch was just as mysterious as Ms. Noa’s space magic.
