Teruru Dungeon, first floor.
While being in observation mode, I watched over how mini wiseman was fighting.
Mini wiseman who has. .h.i.t his max level is strong now.
Whenever he has to fight in close-range, he uses a sword, then mixes up with some attack magics and support magics for a versatile way of fighting.
Even though he has became strong, but it"s to the point where its at an [extreme] after leveling up.
With that all summed up, the mini wiseman continued to rack in bean sprouts from the Slimes.
[I"m surprised.] (Cell)
[Yeah….Aah you"re here Cell.] (Ryouta)
Out of nowhere, I could hear Cell"s voice coming from beside me, and he was standing there watching the mini wiseman as well.
[I came here based on the rumours, but this is out of my expectation.] (Cell)
[Is that so?] (Ryouta)
[It is unheard of of a human"s tamed rogue monster to enter a dungeon, and seeing it earning its income like every other adventurers…..Is it possible for him to go down to other floors as well?] (Cell)
[Yeah, he can. Mini wiseman~] (Ryouta)
Calling out to him, he came running over after finishing his battle.
[What is it?]
[My name is Cell・Stem. I"m the chairman of Shikuro Dungeon.] (Cell)
[Eeh? Aah, my name is Mike of the mini wiseman. Please to meet you.] (Mike)
[There"s something that I"m curious, but can you move around floors?] (Cell)
[Yes I can…..] (Mike)
His expression reflected to Cell as if saying, and so?
[How about entering and exiting the dungeon?] (Cell)
[That is possible as well, however….] (Mike)
[Can you try doing it now?] (Cell)
Mike showed an embarra.s.sed look at me.
I too have no idea why was Cell asking these questions, but for now I told Mike to follow through.
[You can show him.] (Ryouta)
[I understand.] (Mike)
Mike then ran towards the entrance of the dungeon, and he repeated the movement of entering and exiting the dungeon.
[…..That"s weird.] (Cell)
[Eh?] (Ryouta)
[This is the first time I"ve seen a rogue monster being able to do that. Even a Dungeon Master could only move around floors, but never outside of the dungeon.] (Cell)
[I see your point.] (Ryouta)
Aurum"s appearance popped up in mind.
A being that is higher than a Dungeon Master, the girl name Aurum could not freely exit and enter the dungeon as well.
Hence why I had to change her to a gold bar to bring her out, and wait for her to hatch when she"s outside, however there are times when I"m busy and I wouldn"t be able to fetch her.
I am still fulfilling her wishes…
[Thinking like that, Mike is amazing.] (Ryouta)
[It"s not at that level. And the person that should be praised is Satou-sama.] (Cell)
[Mike, you can stop now.] (Ryouta)
[Okay.] (Mike)
After asking him to stop, he came back to us.
But when he was coming in, a Slime suddenly jumped at him.
The attack pushed Mike from his blind spot, and Mike who couldn"t react fast enough rolled out of the dungeon together with the Slime.
After he stopped moving, he kicked the Slime and chanted [Eruption] on the Slime.
[Phew….that scared me.] (Mike)
[You alright Mike?] (Ryouta)
[Yeah, it was just so sudden, but the enemy is still just a Slime.] (Mike)
[Glad to hear.] (Ryouta)
Since the person himself is fine, I didn"t inquire further.
It was kinda sudden, but the conversation ended—
[How?] (Cell)
—–wasn"t what happened.
Cell asked in a surprised tone as he looked at Mike walking back to us.
[What happened?] (Ryouta)
[Why, did it not disappear?] (Cell)
[Eh?] (Ryouta)
Looking at Mike once, I was confused.
[I mean I"ve explained the reason why he won"t disappear right?] (Ryouta)
[That"s not it, I"m not talking about Mike, but the Slime.] (Cell)
[The….Slime….——Aah!] (Ryouta)
I finally understood.
Right, the Slime.
The Slime that Mike defeated—–was outside the dungeon.
Wouldn"t the monster disappear the moment it touches the outside of the dungeon.
However, the Slime didn"t disappear.
Even after jumping onto Mike, and was kicked away—–it didn"t disappear right until Mike chanted a spell on it.
[What is the meaning of this?] (Ryouta)
[It might be this child"s unique ability.] (Cell)
[Mine?] (Mike)
Mike who was confused, I said.
[Let"s test it again. With the same situation—-No.] (Ryouta)
I don"t think we can do that same scenario again.
[You"ll catch a slime, then place it outside with you.] (Ryouta)
[Okay!] (Mike)
[Let"s do this in order. First you catch two, one will be thrown out, and one would follow you outside.] (Ryouta)
[I understand.] (Mike)
Whilehe went and get some Slimes, Cell moved together with us to oversee us.
Using the Restraint magic, I brought the Slimes near the entrance.
Throwing the Slime out—-it normally disintegrated.
It"s basically common sense.
Mike looked at me with a worrying look.
[Don"t mind, let"s try the next one.] (Ryouta)
[—–Yes!] (Mike)
Bringing away his worriness, he brought the Slime out—–walked together with the Slime out of the dungeon.
And the Slime safely went out the dungeon.
[Waaa~] (Mike)
[Fumu.] (Cell)
Mike let out his voice, and Cell whispered softly while nodding.
The Slime didn"t disappear.
[What does this mean?] (Ryouta)
[Basically, whatever monsters Mike touches, the monster wouldn"t disappear when it goes out. And this is also a theory, but it might work on moving different floors as well.] (Cell)
[Let"s test it out now!] (Mike)
Mike shouted, and ran back into the dungeon, before returning.
[Ryoutsama!] (Mike)
His eyes looked like he wanted a praise from me as he held a Drowsy Slime.
It"s the monster from the second floor.
[So even bringing monsters from different floor is possible.] (Ryouta)
[Yes!] (Mike)
[Amazing.] (Ryouta)
[No, the amazing one is Satou-sama.] (Cell)
Cell cut us off.
[Is that so?] (Ryouta)
[A unique monster, that is a mutated species has been seen many times. But they were all just {Monsters}, so they still can"t escape from dungeons and the reason is because they"re monsters. But, Satou-sama who removed that [stigma], should be praised.] (Cell)
[Ryoutsama is amazing!] (Mike)
Both Cell and Mike called out my name and praised me, which made me slightly embarra.s.sed.
I know they don"t mean anything bad, but it"s still kinda embarra.s.sing.
Then, looking around us, the sunset could be seen.
Seems like the day is going to end, and it"s about time for us to head home.
Going back, meeting Aurum, and—-
[Hm.] (Ryouta)
[What"s wrong Ryoutsama?] (Mike)
Mike asked as he tilted his little head.
Looking at him, I looked at Cell again.
[I think we can increase another person who holds a spirits name.] (Ryouta)
[Hou.] (Cell)
Cell who was surprised, showed his expression as if saying [So who would that be?].
[That would be Mike.] (Ryouta)
Then I brought Mike to Aurum"s room.
Then, asking Aurum to hold Mike"s hands, I brought her back.
With that, she doesn"t have to be a dropped item, which made her extremely happy.
Thus, the name Mike・Aurum was born.
TLN Note: I"m not sure whether Mike is male or female, but I"ll have to see based on the other conversations. Mike did say 私 instead of 僕 or 俺 in the conversation, but so far there"s only 1 conversation which Mike uses 私, so I can"t say for certain Mike"s a female yet.
