"I have returned everyone"
"Oh, welcome back, Ester. How did it go?"
Evening, the time we didn't even know how many boss battles we had gone through, Ester appeared through the door leading to the 14th floor.
"I have gone through the floor 14th and 10th and as I suspected, deeper levels were almost untouched. Today's harvest is a total of 282 <Magic grass."
"Amazing, I didn't expect for you to go through multiple floors but thank you. I will ask Hannah to make them into HP when we return"
I thought the harvest wouldn't be much but it seems like Ester went around many harvest spots in the carriage. Even going as far as upto the 10th floor. Well, it's merely a 15 minute journey by carriage. As expected of <Knight> job. Though it doesn't sound much Knightly.
This is taken from Either way, thanks to Ester, we will have a huge stock of MP options in our hands.
"Okay. And how does it go for your side?"
"Oh, we have already achieved our goal, Lv25. Even the boss battle went fairly smooth and I don't even need to help them in any way for some time"
After going through several battles, Lulu has also begun to pay attention to her HP and since then, she hasn't let her HP fall down too much.
And right now, I was training her how to avoid losing HP using <Rolling Sword> or <Quick escape>. freёwebnovel.com
Incidentally, <Rolling Sword> is the superior version of <Quick escape> in the order tree. You strike with a sword slash after a rolling escape. It slightly looks like my <Sonic Sword>.
Ultimately, they began to try other skills afterwards. It was the request from the girls that they want to quickly familiarise with their skills, and also because they were quite excited about new skills.
Well, if the girls themselves want to try, it's not like I have the right to stop them. Hence I taught them the strongest training plan with pleasure.
"Ahh, Ester Onee-chan has returned!"
As I was chatting with Ester at the entrance, everyone returned back, and it seemed like they had sorted out all the drops.
The first one to get closer was Lulu.
"Listen Ester onee-san, Lulu has become so strong! She twirls around and spans! Then another spin!"
"I see. Lulu has worked hard"
"Ehehe"
Ester, with a relieved expression on her face, patted Lulu's head who boasted about her achievement in a small animal like manner.
It suddenly looks like a perfect spot to relax. What a heartwarming sight, one side patting and the other side happily receiving pats. I also want to try.
"By the way, Zephyr-dono. Spinning in Lulu's words isn't the same as spinning in dancing with Zephyr-dono, right?"
"Hey, why are you looking at me with such an expression!?"
"???"
I don't why but Ester was suddenly looking at me with wide eyes. This was the first time Ester was giving me such a look. Through her eyes kind of looked like Hannah at that time. Oh look, even Lulu look like she just thought of Hannah.
"Spinning is Lulu's skill! It's extremely strong!"
"Ahh, I see. I slightly misunderstood"
"Just saying, Celia has the most contact with Lulu. They even hugged a while ago"
"...... I see"
Hearing my words, Ester's gaze turned towards Ester. I could see the colour of envy flashing in her eyes.
One person's trip seems to have taken quite a toll on her spirit.
Amidst such, Celia and Celestine also finally arrived.
"Is everything alright Ester? I just saw an unbelievable expression on your face from the distance?"
"No, there's nothing to worry about. Anyway, did Celia have fun in the dungeon?"
"Yes, very much. It was very inspiring and also interesting. I couldn't tell how efficient Zephyr-dono's advice was. For a laid-back elf like me, it's excitingly satisfying. I very much like to take him to my house if possible"
"Wait wait, please promise me you will not do anything like this absolutely, else Lana-sama would be heartbroken, okay?"
"I rather hope Celia don't talk about such things in front of me... "
I couldn't fathom what will do with me after taking me to her house. Inferring from their conversation, Is she planning to suck away all the knowledge about <Dungeon Activity> from me? I secretly swore in my heart to never accept the invitation to Celia's home even if I get one.
"Are you free, Zephyr-dono?"
"O, ohh, Celestine. What's the matter?"
Celestine came at the right time, I desperately needed someone to change the topic. I quickly turn to Celestine.
"That's the thing. It comes out from the drop, can you check it?"
"Hmm, ahhh, isn't it <Gentle pickle>!? Wait ,that means the last drop was a gold chest!?"
I didn't notice since I was talking with Ester but it seems like a gold chest was dropped.
And what Celestine showed me was the <Gentle Pickle> for mining, one of the <Gentle harvesting series> items that appears in gold chest. It's the <Excavation> edition of the <Gentle scoop> I had purchased from Marie-senpai. It even comes along with <Double quantity> skill.
Though I couldn't help but lament slightly since it only has <Excavation Lv3>, it can only be used in beginner dungeons.
"Of course we are going to keep it! There are many uses of it. һһCongratulations everyone, seems like you guys hit jackpot and got gold chest"
"A jackpot!? Hurray! Thank you!"
Lulu raised both her hands and hops up and down in delight at my remarks. Uwaah, that's so adorable.
Not just me, even Ester and Celia seem to become captive of joyful Lulu as they didn't even glance at the gold chest item. I can understand, after all she's just so cute.
"Great, let's return back now! The last drop was super amazing too! Another bountiful day!"
"Yes, thanks for your hard work everyone."
"Good work everyone"
We all offered a few words of thanks to each other and returned from the dungeon.
Hmm, it's another nice day.
