Day 132: …I drank it.
Holy Era 6102, Month of the Moon Sheep, 23rd day.
Weather: Sunny
Hah, hah, hah… I’m so tired…
…Still, we somehow managed to escape to the first floor.
The sea serpent… It was so fast even on land…
Thankfully, Soshio carried us on its back partway through…
Alright, just a little further till we reach the surface… Let’s do our best.
…However, everyone’s feet seemed to drag as we walked through the dungeon.
Running from the swarm of bugs, the monster house, the sea serpent…
We were all reaching our limit.
…If we encountered a group of giant crabs in this state, it would be over for us.
We would be able to take down one at most…
Just as I thought this, three giant crabs appeared in front of us…
Why were dungeons so mean?
….The problems keep coming when we are exhausted.
It was as if it had a will of its own and wanted to attack Adventurers…
I unsheathed my short sword and stood next to Ms. Mia, who tiredly brandished her trident and round shield.
She smiled and said that she could at least take one of them. But she lacked the usual energy.
If I worked with Ms. Noa, then we could make take out another one.
That left…one…but Ms. Nico couldn’t do it…
The three great crabs approached while snapping their pincers.
As I felt despair at the sight, I heard, ‘Do you want to drink it?’ and a vial was thrust in front of me.
It was the yellow-green liquid that Ms. Nico often drank.
The one she boasted would allow you to work without sleep or rest.
…Ms. Nico had proven that it was effective… And this was no time to complain.
Ms. Mia and I accepted them and drank the contents in one gulp.
In the next instant, a burning sweetness in my throat… Ugh, it’s sticky. I want to throw up.
However, I managed to swallow all of it… And then my body started to feel lighter!
Ms. Mia’s eyes were also widening in surprise… We may be able to fight after all!
The results? A great victory. It was probably the easiest fight so far!
At this rate, we could keep going for a while!
Ms. Noa’s interest was piqued, and she tried to get a bottle as well.
Wait! You must wait! Ms. Noa cannot drink it!
I frantically stopped her. Ms. Noa looked at me sulkily.
Ugh… But, this was bad for you. There’s no reason to drink it.
After that, we fought a few more battles, and then we managed to escape the dungeon…
This was all thanks to drinking the potion and erasing any feelings of fatigue…
…However, I was now scared about the side-effects.
I think it was a good idea that we didn’t let Ms. Noa drink it.
Now, let’s return to the town.
While we told the guard about the sea serpent, we had to rush to report to the guild as well…
Hah…it will be some time before we can relax again… I want to sleep in my bed…
