Chapter 41 Maid explorers and the battle junkie
[And so, I’ve come to report that the maid training for these three is done . ]
Says Lusia, dressed in a maid’s uniform . Cynthia and the twins are similarly dressed standing at her side .
[Wait, why is Lusia also wearing maid clothes?]
[Yes . It is because I am now also serving as a maid here . ]
[That’s the first time I heard about it though……]
[Since we have a lot of children, someone as old as me has to take care of them . I didn’t think I had to report such a trivial matter to Jin-sama, so……]
[I mean, aren’t you training the adventurer group too?]
Isn’t that a lot of work to do? Is the meaning I put in when I asked her and……
[Since the adventurer group have become more competent, I don’t need to lead them as much as I used to . The maid’s side as well; the earlier maids have already become qualified, so my role is nothing more than a representative . ]
[Well, if you say so…… So, their maid training being complete means there are no problems even if we go to the dungeon, right?]
[Yes . I have tried giving them battle training, but they didn’t progress much there . They focused in studying as a maid to the end . ]
[Well, there is a limit to what we can do in three days after all……]
[Even so, I think I have given them enough training so they would not embarrass the master . ]
Those three step forward, pick their skirt’s hem and bow as Lusia said that . Hmm, it is a really good greeting .
[Sir . Allow me to introduce myself again nodesu . My name is Cynthia . ]
[Likewise, I am Sora . ]
[Likewise, I am Karen . ]
[[[I look forward to working with you, Sir . ]]]
[Yeah, same here . ]
All of them step back at the same time . Lusia also speeds up the topic .
[I have taught them the basics in weapon techniques; swords for Sora, spears for Karen and blunt weapons for Cynthia . I think they will be doing well enough for actual combat . ]
[The twins aside, why blunt weapons, Cynthia?]
It is a little out of place for a Hero to use blunt weapons . No, I’m not saying it’s bad though……
Cynthia steps forward . ……What? Does she have to step forward when she’s spoken to?
[It is because the quality of the weapon doesn’t have much influence in staff technique nodesu . I would like to spend the time I would use to maintain the blade in killing monsters instead nodesu . ]
Her way of thinking is quite disturbing . I mean, she’s got the logic of a battle junkie .
[Then isn’t unarmed combat good enough too in that case?]
[That is my final target nanodesu . I want to reach the point where I can hunt large amounts of monsters with just my bare hands someday nodesu . ]
Totally a battle junkie’s reason .
Oh right, let’s check Cynthia’s status carefully . I intentionally didn’t peek at it since removing the from her .
Cynthia

Magic
Ability
Physique

Title : Jin’s slave, Human hero .
She acquired a lot of skills as planned . She’s basically like Maria . She is also good at acquiring other skills too . But she hasn’t tried as many things as Maria had, so she doesn’t really have many skills .
I think is worth mentioning . Maria doesn’t have it, so I think it falls under the rare category .
Raises status depending on the stimulation of one’s emotions . Raised value is dependent on the emotions and method of stimulation . For example, a state of [Anger] would raise one’s offensive power .
Lastly, I am guessing and are hobbies she used to have .
Regrettably, neither Sora nor Karen has any point of growth worth mentioning . Well, comparing them with a holder of the title of Hero should be pitiful . Their skills have more or less risen by one point . Yeah, that’s good enough .
[So, what about the weapons?]
[Yes, about that, I am thinking about letting them use the weapons Knot created . ]
[Knot? The Dwarf? Why?]
Knot is a dwarven slave and part of the adventurer team based in Kastal . He did say he wants to become a master blacksmith .
[It seems that a blacksmith they had saved had taken a liking to him and taught him smithing techniques . Since it runs side by side with their activities as adventurers, I have concluded it won’t be a problem . ]
[Well, it isn’t a problem . I do have the plan to have him make equipment in this base at some point after all . ]
I should just think that my plans of learning crafts have sped up .
[I did give him one point in skill, didn’t I? Has he become good enough to make some equipment?]
[Yes, it seems that he can still only make simple equipment, but I believe they are just right as beginner weapons . It’s because the quality itself is not bad on the whole as far as I can see . ]
[If Lusia is making that conclusion, then I have
nothing else to say . But it’s probably better if you report our current state once in a while, including the other slaves . There things I can’t grasp about are increasing by a lot after all . ]
A: I know them all, you see . I have basically decided to not to inform you of things of relatively low priority .
[It looks like Alta knows all of it, but I’d like to hear it from you personally for myself after all . ]
[Understood . I shall prepare it in advance . Please tell me if you need it . ]
[Okay . ]
After that, each of them equipped the weapons and armor prepared for them .
[Come to think of it, are they going to keep wearing the maid outfits like this?]
[Yes, given they have done maid training, their uniform are to be the maid clothes . ]
[Is that so?]
[Yes . Please feel free to use them as maids inside the dungeon as you see fit . ]
I even feel like it’s fairly harsh though…… But when I look at those three, they nod with a serious look . I guess it doesn’t matter if they have the motivation for it .
[If the people in question have the motivation for it, then that’s fine too I guess . The preparation seems to be done as well, so let’s head to the dungeon immediately . ]
[Yes nanodesu!]
[Yes! We’re looking forward to this, right Karen-chan?]
[Yes! We’ll be giving our all in this, right Sorchan?]
It was a good opportunity for the twins to say the same lines given that the twins spoke simultaneously, but it is hard to understand them when they say slightly different things, so I’d like them to stop that .
We return to Lilia city after gathering the other members and do the registration of the three at the explorer and adventurer guilds . Though we’re young, we were taking along three maids which attracted people’s eyes . Fortunately, we didn’t get in trouble with any vulgar gang . Well, people who don’t want their nether regions be stabbed by a rapier shouldn’t come meddling with us . As it happens, Alta told me I’ve become the town’s gossip with the matter of our introduction from Elinsia the other day . How scared are you, Elinsia?
[T-This is a dungeon card EX! I heard rumors about it before nodesu, but I never though I would have one in my hand someday!]
[So happy, Karen-chan!]
[So amazing, Sorchan!]
I was able to get the three of them a dungeon card EX too with Elinsia’s letter of recommendation, their mood is strange . What? Is it something to long for that much? I try asking them who are looking with eyes like it’s a treasure .
[Yes! It’s the no . 1 aspiration to the residents of this country nanodesu!]
[It’s an aspiration!]
[It’s a treasure!]
[I see . Good for you then . ]
[[[Yes, Sir (nanodesu)! ]]]
All nine members, including the three who are completely in a good mood, now head toward the dungeon entrance .
The dungeon entrance is roughly at the center of the city . It is just like for the first village we visited, with stairs leading to the first underground layer . It seems that most of the cases you call it the first layer without “underground” .
There is a building on top of the entrance of the underground in this city, we enter it . There is a reception desk . It is a necessary to follow the procedures to go underground . The contents are well managed in this building even if it is spilled from the dungeon item box so that’s a relief (maybe) . At the very least, in this city that is .
We’re still drawing attention even if we entered the building . A strange group has come consisting mostly of young and little girls, even maids too, so it can’t be helped . Ah and then there’s Elinsia’s influence .
After our business at the reception is done, we descend underground . There doesn’t seem to be any inconvenience in visibility since the walls shine lightly just like the one in that abandoned village .
After we go down about as much as the stairways in the abandoned village, the stairs immediately turn into a passageway . The passage is really wide though, about four traffic lanes in my former world’s standard . But we can’t let our guard down since monsters can come out from the floor, the walls or the ceiling at any moment . My map has quite the bad affinitiy with the dungeon since I can’t even see the locations the monsters appear .
[Mio, are you okay with this much?]
[Yeah, it looks like dungeons are fine for me . I wonder if it’s because I know what shows up here aren’t ghosts, but monsters . ]
[Err, I’ve heard ghost monsters come out here, you know?]
[Eh?]
Mio stiffened . It can’t be helped, so I carry her on my back . Dora looks jealously at us .
