Chapter 102
La Veil, you became smaller again after a long time
Indeed. At the time of the battle with the Holy Armor , Arena increased the duration effect, so I was okay, but this time I got tired in a lot of ways. It was quite a struggle
So how much do you want?
Until I am full
Alright
Nyuwah
I put my hand on top of La Veil as she was lying on top of Maurice and holding Arena. She was on the verge of falling asleep after the duration of her magic transformation ended. I then slowly let my magic power flow through her to which she gave out some cute cries, and as I was petting her like that she grabbed my hand and started suckling and playbiting with my fingers.
Cielo and Mika on the other hand were teaching the children how to cook. It was only a simple meat and vegetable stir fry though. I did warn them to pay attention to the use of seasonings, so it should be fine I really do hope so.
Oh, thats right, after taking care of Cerberica, I havent really asked Quad what he would want to do.
Hey Quad. What are you going to do now? I only wanted to release you, but would you like to come along with use for now? After that though
At the moment, I do wish to follow Aidle-sama. I want to at least give back something in return and it seems like going along with you guys would be fun. Would that be alright though?
Of course! Then, I guess, please take care of us too from now on?
Yes, I look forward to working with you
Nice to meet you!!
With that, our dungeon troubles should be over now. It should be a good time for us to return, but before that I should examine everyones status and our loot. Alright, everyone gather around
First up are the kids. All of them should be over 100 now, and they have reached the point where they would be able to live well on their own now. With their current status, they wont be needing any backers to help them in the city.
Ashias children group has also become great ~
Thanks to Aidle-san. They are going to be great when they grow up

If they were adventurers, their status alone should be around D Rank. They could also throw knives from mid range and could hunt monsters on their own as a group. Almost all of them could dismantle properly and are not afraid to fight. They have also watched our way of fighting a lot. And at night, I would play board games with them to increase their INT. As a result of this quest, Id say I give everyone a passing grade.
Next up would be Cielo. She was also around the same level as the kids.
Good work Cielo
It was the first time I worked really hard to train myself. Look here, its like I have some abs now, right?
Are you implicitly telling me to lick your wonderful belly button?
Thats not what I am saying at all!?
Well, you know, you did roll up your clothes to show me though

Cielo should have more than enough physical strength to get by, and her water magic that she uses in healing everyday has also grown decently, and the daily muscle training until exhaustion has also shown its results. Good work, now you are more than capable enough to fight back if attacked by regular adventurers and fanatics. I would say, she had shown the most growth out of everyone.
I wonder why I mostly have to train people that are in representative positions in their countries, such as Forna, but it cant be helped because they are friends. Lets go next without worrying about it.
Mika really helped a lot this time. The useless Hero has now graduated

Arena told me that she did her best fighting against the mass of scorpions and she also struggled fighting against the rampaging undead during the Holy Armor Battle. It must be that she acquired the Mental Tolerance skill due to being stuck on those really grinding battles, so I think she would become a great Hero? Well thats what Ive been told by everyone at least. With that, I hope she becomes a good guardian for Cielo when they return to La Veil Radd.
La Veils level didnt really increase that much though
Well, thats to be expected since I am already in a really high level range. Not to mention that I only did the minimum while controlling the battlefield so it cant be helped. Its okay though since I was able to get my fill of that Mead
Well if it was not for La Veil, we would have really struggled getting past the 20th floor, and I wouldnt have been able to concentrate on my fight with the Holy Armor. Thats why I consider her the MVP. Shes also an indispensable straight man partner
Finally, Arena who was the center of support and assistance, which greatly helped Mika during the Ghoul Battle. Her Levels have now surpassed Testania-san. Thats great Arena, you might now have become the best in our Fairy Village!

I dont really understand her growth despite being from the same fairy race. Her INT has grown to more than double compared to mine. I dont think I would be able to normally win when competing with her. I do wonder though just how far her growth would reach

As for Quad, probably an after effect of being linked and released from the dungeon core, there was a huge change in status and Race.

Titles: Reincarnated Fairy
Precise Usage
Increase all Skill Ranks by one
First of it, after being separated from the dungeon, the Race changed to Amartis. It means Servant, though if I think about Quads situation, he should be the one needing servants. After all, he did serve the world for a very long time.
I dont really know why the Race changed, but it definitely had something to do withReincarnation in his title. As for me, Im glad to have a companion as a reincarnated individual in this world. The skill Precise Usage will also be quite useful when learning new skills.
Or rather, why doesnt Quad have a fairy like temperament?
Well, I dont know about that either. But, it is not inconvenient, so I dont really mind
Well, I also dont mind being in the presence of a dandy old gentleman. However, despite his appearance, he is still a fairy so he does possess the mischievous part of being one. I do want to get spoiled by sitting in his lap all the time though.
Then, as for me, my status didnt change at all. If there are any changes, its only the new title Dungeon Ruler that was added. It was probably because I was forcefully linked to it a while ago and served as something like a proxy. Well, it couldnt really be helped so I set it up in full auto and left it be.
More importantly, its time for magic tools.Im really glad that we found a lot but I dont know what will be useful. So I let Quad explain about them one by one.
Revenant Board x6
A board made from Revenant ore. By channeling magic power, it enables movement in the air. The speed increases or decreases depending on the magic power flowing through it.
By the way, it seems that all these magical tools were brought by the witches.They said it was the best of their creation that they had brought in case someone had actually cleared the dungeon. I guess, they were all really having fun.
Its kind of like a surfboard in size. Its designed to hold your feet in place, so you only need to relax and try to not let it flip
Oh, Oooh! Its floating!!
You seem very excited, Master. Even though you could fly on your own
Aidle, unfair! I want to do it too!!
The board apparently changes its direction of travel by shifting and tilting the center of gravity. There was no problem in making single turns or sharp turns or even a sudden stop. The Revenant ore seemed to be pure, and there was no apparent problem even if it consumed a little more magic power. If we can mass produce this, we can definitely sell it.
Ah, Mika fell face first
guhit hurts
Oh, come on now, dont cry. Youll learn how to do it with practice. Ill help you out so hang in there, okay?
un
Whats the use of your mental tolerance for I held her hand and guided her on how to float and balance herself, and after a while she was able to learn it, so I told her to teach Cielo after. I then asked Quad to explain the next Magic Tool.
Quad then held a bell the size of the palm of his hand.
Bell of Monster Avoidance x6
A bell that emits a sound that monsters hate for a certain amount of time. The sound is inaudible to humans.
Oh , this would start a revolution if we sold it to merchants. I cant mass produce it because the adventurers might go out of business. So the stock will be limited,
Magic Light Sword x10
A sword with a blade constructed out of magic that is generated while magic power is consumed. The sharpness depends on the magic power consumed.
This looks interesting. Lets test it out
Because it is a thing that I have not used for a long time, I think that it is better for me to use it to the degree of getting used
Right, right
I let the magic flow, and a magic sword appeared. I punctured the walls with it a few times, and it shattered after hitting around ten times. The strength of the sword also changes with the amount of magic power it consumed. This might be a good substitute weapon for people who mainly use magic. Mass production is also possible.
And last but not least. Isnt this huge? What kind of magic tool is it?
It was a round sphere made of some kind of metal.
Its called Magic Metal Body. In the center of the sphere, there is a revenant ore that has been processed. When you pour magic power into it, it transforms into whatever you imagine. For example, if you use it as a weapon, no matter how many times it transformed, it will return to its original state after, so you dont need to maintain it
While saying that, Quad channeled his magic, and the sphere wriggled like slime and detached part of it. Then just as Quad has said, the part that was detached turned into a simple spear type weapon.
The metals that detached even if brought apart will still possess the magic power of the revenant ore and will be possible to pull back to its parent
When Quad thrusts the spear against the wall, the spear turns into liquid metal again and returns to the sphere. So thats the basic usage. Its fun to see how many different ways this can be used. If I can make a smaller version of this, I can use it for infinite knife throwing giving me an advantage in battle. Alright, Ill take it!
I put away all of the magic tools, finding them mostly useful, and then we all ate together with the kids who had just finished cooking dinner. Quad was so impressed with the meat and vegetable stir-fry made by the kids that he shed a few tears as he ate it with a smile on his face.
Iya, this is so goodTaste is such a great sensation, isnt it?
Is this the first time properly tasting something?
Yes, my body was in the core, so I was enjoying all the tea and sweets just for the atmosphere
It was delicious though, the ones you have prepared
Its a reproduction of the knowledge and sensations that was present in the core. Now that I think about it, I wonder if they belonged to her, Mother that is
Well, thinking about it, she did throw herself into the core after all. Her soul was even present for such a long time with her memories intact inside the core. Its definitely not a surprise for Quad to inherit her knowledge.
Um, Aidle-san
Hmm?
I had just finished eating and was about to go to bed when Ashia called out to me with the others behind her. What is it?
After we get out of this dungeon, are we going to leave the city?
Ah, well, do you still want to continue as Stray Baggers? If its your current condition, you should be more than capable enough to survive in the dungeon even without the help of grownups. Im pretty sure that if everyone grows up well, they would be among the top ranking adventurers
Yes, but I dont think the people of the Adventurers Guild would leave us alone in this state. We may end up deceived and used for their own good. So, is there any good country that you could recommend us?
Hou, you were able to predict it, so my words were pretty much unnecessary at this point. I patted Ashias head and kneeled in front of her.
How about after we get out of here, why dont you all take the Red Dragon Express to Ladaria?
Ladariais it? Is that the place Aidle-san and everyone came from?
Yes, and just in case Ill give you a letter I wrote, and you can give it to the black-haired man and woman who will be at the gates. He will definitely take you to the castle and listen to everyones story
I handed Ashia the letter I had prepared in advance. The black-haired ones are the Heroes, and they probably havent been changed from the time Ojas deployed them at the gate. Ashia took it with care and put it in her purse.
In any case, I need to prepare a necklace for the Red Dragons to be recognized as a follower. If hundreds of red dragons suddenly appear in the sky, theyll probably think its the end of the world.
Well, Ashia and the others can get used to their new life in Ladaria before us. Well be back in Ladaria soon enough
Un. Thanks for everything, Aidle-san
Thank you!!
Yeah, youre all welcome
I smiled and happily accepted their thanks. Nishishi~~
