49 Thank You Gift
I don't know why I asked her "Are you okay?", but the girl was covered in wounds and blood, and didn't look like she was going to be all right.
I'd like to cast a healing spell on her, but it's a precious resource.
I decided to first ask if she had any on hand.
"Can you use healing magic? Or do you have any HP potions on hand?"
"No. But don't worry. I'll be fine."
The girl answers calmly.
I don't care, but is she a "bokuko" girl?
I know it's a little too late to say this, but she speaks fluent Japanese.
She looks like a Westerner, but she may have lived in Japan all her life.
"In that state, I'm told I don't have to worry about it. Well, as long as you have some HP left, you won't die."
Even though seekers are injured, the bleeding stops immediately.
It's not usually possible for that to cause extra HP loss, so I guess it is not wrong to say that it is okay.
The girl, on the other hand, shakes her head slowly.
"I'm fine. More importantly, I should thank you for saving me."
With that, the girl reaches into her pocket and pulls out what looks like a pendant.
The girl hands it to me.
"On the 7th floor, the most northeastern part of the map. Put it on the ground and wait for a while. I'll take this then."
"What, ...? No, hey…"
The girl is about to end the conversation as if her business is finished.
What's this girl who goes at her own pace?
The next moment, something amazing happened.
"Huh…? Disappeared…?"
The girl who had been right in front of me until just a moment ago turned into a black haze, and then she was gone.
It was as if we had defeated a monster.
I looked at Kodachi-san and Yuzuki, who were still rolling their eyes.
"Eh… [Return Orb] Maybe…?"
Kodachi-san uttered this in a daze.
One of the items for seekers is the [Return Orb].
It is an extremely convenient high-end consumer item that, except for a few exceptional circumstances or locations, allows you to instantly move out of the dungeon from anywhere in the dungeon.
However, as I recall, to activate the effect, one had to hold the bead in one's hand and think of something.
I don't think she was holding such an item in her hand.
When I mentioned this, Yuzuki started to say something like this.
"So the girl now, is she a ghost or something?"
Haunted ─ ─ When she told me that, I thought it might be that kind of thing.
There are dungeons and seekers.
It's strange to be a ghost because there's a ghost monster… No, I'm getting a headache.
But the ghost left a gift.
I show the pendant the girl gave me to my two companions.
It's nothing special, just a pendant with a design we could find anywhere.
The three of us twisted our heads, but there was no way we could get an answer.
As a result, we decided to pretend that what had just happened had never happened and to leave the dungeon as planned.
After that, we arrived at the entrance of the 5th floor without encountering any monsters.
We went to the relay point, took the transfer magic circle, and moved out of the dungeon.
Incidentally, I had levelled up during the monster fight when I encountered the girl and was now at level 12.
I acquired the skill [MP Up (Magic x 5)] without a second thought.
As a result, my maximum MP was pulled up, and the current MP increased somewhat, but everyone was already in the mood to leave the dungeon and eat lunch, so they temporarily withdrew from the dungeon as planned.
