Chapter ss3

SS: Loot

 

"So, have you decided which one will you pick?"
"I think the 『Item Appraisal』 one is nice after all, albeit classic . To think that all three of them have Orbs in them, that sure make you perplexed~"

Three treasure chests in varying sizes appeared after the floormaster had been defeated .
Arisa and me thought that the other two chests would disappear if we opened one of them, but then Tama quickly opened the three chests .
Tama was normally the one in charge of treasure chests when we found them in the labyrinth, she looked at the panicking Arisa while tilting her head .
In addition, the chests didn't have any trap set .

Leaving that aside, we continue sorting the spread loot in the Ivy Mansion's living room .

Even though they're going to the auction anyway, making the list of the items is important .
Furthermore, above all, checking out loot is fun .

There were three kinds of Orbs like in the middle layer inside the treasure chests, they were [Item Appraisal], [Water Magic], and [Paralyze Resistant] .
I secretly hoped for one of them to be a [Chant] Orb, but it was in vain .

Every one of these three Orbs seems to be a hit, and the [Item Appraisal] one seems to be a rarity among the rarity .
We had some big debate like whether Nana the shield bearer or Mia the recovery girl to have the [Paralyze Resistant], or either Nana the shield bearer or Lulu the rear guard to have the [Water Magic], or if Arisa the well-informed should have the [Item Appraisal] .

In the end, we decided to choose the [Item Appraisal] for Lulu so that she could judge whether the foodstuff she had in hands to be safe .
Good grief, it's really like our gluttonous girls to pick it by food-related matter .

"The others are all questionable equipment aren't they~"
"Arisa, the basis for that conclusion is strange, so I urge you to reconsider . "

Nana objected to Arisa's arbitrary decision .
Certainly, none of them is especially good, but I think it's a line up that's usable to some extent .
For the magic weapons, there are an adamantite war hammer, a mithril short sword, a Face-Tree bow, a mantis machette, a Lighting Crystal wand, and a paralyzing thorn spear, and for the normal weapons, there are four of them, including a black steel axe, and a silver dagger .

"Our usual cheat equipment sure are better aren't they~ and even though we have prepared the battle plan carefully, to win against an opponent 9 levels higher without getting hurt sure isn't normal . "
"Like injury~?"
"Pain is no good nanodesu! It's painful desuyo?"
"A pervert?"
"Noo~o!"

Arisa was nearly treated like a masochist, but I think being unhurt is a good thing .  
If I level them up for another 70, I won't be worried even if some demon-lord class enemy comes . Though according to Arisa, the Dog-head and the Wild Boar King were special cases, so it might be enough with just another 50 levels .



There were few armors among the loot, maybe it was geared more toward weapons this time .
Besides the Thunder Arm Armor that's made from mithril, and the Vajra Shell great shield, most of them are normal armors that are simply sturdy .

As you can expect from the squid drop item, the Lightning Arm Armor has 10 tentacles on it that will automatically defend against anyone who attack the wearer . The tip of the tentacle can stun with electricity like a stun gun .
It's a full body armor so I thought that only certain people can wear it, but according to Seoru-shi the shadowkin, it seems magic armors that come from the labyrinth can automatically adjust their size to accommodate the wearer .
I feel that it's been awhile since I see a fantasy-like item like this . Rather, 'game-like' is probably more appropriate .
Unlike in games, the automatic adjustment is limited to 20% range at most, so someone who's as small as Leriril for example wouldn't be able to equip it .

The Vajra Shell great shield is sturdy despite its light weight, and it can deploy anti-magic membrane if you fill it with magic power, so it might be useful for a shield-bearer who challenges the labyrinth's middle layer .

I've over-fished the Vajra Shellfish when I was leveling Mia back then, so I have a lot of them sleeping in my storage, maybe I should try creating one .
There are also a Scale Dinosaur scale armor, and an Armored Frog leather armor .

"Satou . "
"Look at Pochi too please nodesu!"
"Tama too~?"

When I turn my head around, the three youth troupe have put rings, crowns, earrings, and necklaces to the point like it's, "Is that it!", while posing .
The three who who wore a smile on their whole face looked cute, and when I said some lip service, "You're all like princesses", they reacted shyly while fidgeting like Arisa, which was rare .



As for the jewelry and accessories, they're made from normal metal and the craftsmanship aren't too exquisite, but since the jewels are big, they probably can be sold for good money .
There are amulet type accessories too among them, but their effects are all questionable like +1% resistance against a particular element for example . I wonder if it'll be different if you equip multiple of them?

"Is this mantle made of the Mad Fang Tiger's fur? Magic isn't effective against that tiger, so I wonder if this mantle has the same effect?"

The mantle that Liza is holding is made from the fur of Mad Fang Tiger just as she's said . It has good performance against slash attacks, but it doesn't seem to have any magic resistance-up effect .

There are also several mantles of different kind, like a robe made from the Blood-colored Spider thread with the fur on its sleeve and collar .

Still, I wonder if the one who provided these loot was the Dungeon Master?

I tried asking Arisa and Seoru-shi, but the two didn't know .
I should ask the person themselves if I meet them later .

◇

The crowd that have been gathered in the venue is heating up whenever Arisa introduces the loot .

"Ta-da! This is the centerpiece this time!　The 『Thunder Arm Armor』! It's made from mithril which is common, but these tentacles are amazing!"
"""Ooooh!"""



No, you guys, can you stop making a stir before the [Amazing] part is explained?

"Now listen! They will automatically move and defend the wearer from their attacker!"
""Oooh!""

Huh? The voices had decreased, wonder if it didn't meet their expectation .

It's quite convenient, but since it seems to reduce your maximum MP by 100, it's likely an equipment that a magician finds hard to use .

In the end, the adamantite war hammer, and the Vajra Shell great shield were more popular than Arisa's declared centerpiece .

Later, when I came to the armor shop in the labyrinth city to sell the Vajra Shell great shield as Kuro, they didn't buy it, but it was to be auctioned instead .

After several days of advertising, the auction for the shield opened in front of the Explorer guild, and some Red Iron explorer bought it for some good money .
I still have around a hundred Vajra Shells, but I'll restrain myself as it'll collapse the price otherwise .

In addition, I blew the money from the Vajra Shell great shield sales to have a party with the captain-san and every member of the tenement house craftsmen .
There were some unfamiliar explorers who also participated for some reason, but I let it slide since it was fun .
