Chapter 12 - The Journey Begins Part 2

Like any parent, the Hodgson family had a deep feeling for the name, and it seemed there was a custom to name it with a desire for the meaning of the word, so it was troublesome but meant to stick. will explain.

"Hey… yeah… that's also the perfect name for a new trip. Would you mind giving me a new name?"

Dash shouted like a sudden inspiration.

Tara had heard from her parents that Dash was given to her by the legendary ninja Dashboard, who was active centuries ago.

It was a family that the Count's family could use for generations and was designated as Roy's little family since he was born, and he seemed to have been trying to acquire ninja skills to help him as much as possible.

"No... Is it okay with Dash? It's not that bad..."

Tara refuses because it's troublesome... It's not a pattern that gives someone a name.

"That… please do something about it…"

Dash looks very sad and distorts his face. He had thick eyebrows and big eyes, long eyelashes, and a clean nose, and he had a pretty face that looked more like a girl than a young man, as far as Tara could see his face was the only name that came up. to mind.

"Okay... I'll think about it."

There was no point in continuing such barren discussions, so Tara would put it off.

"You did it!"

Dash shows a happy smile… Umm… he says he has to think of something.

"So... what are you going to do from now on?"

"That's why… I'm going to be an adventurer, I can't act freely in Kanur, where they know my face, so I thought of registering as a guild for the neighboring country of Kanur. He's a nice old man. Even if he's a new adventurer in the year like that, he would only be laughed at, and no one would join him...

"However, friends are indispensable to life as an adventurer. Friends make up for abilities that one person can't achieve. Even with Dash, it's difficult for a team of only two, and I want at least a few more. However, it's impossible to produce a lot of money and be a scout, so it is necessary to create a useful profit as it is. That's why I thought of getting the necessary items for it."

"Ah… a necessary item…? …"

Dash shook his head... The story of the adventurous age when Roy was told by swordsmen many times... There was a story about useful items.

Karne is a drift adventurer who comes to the royal capital of Kanur, where Roy lives, where he falls in love at first sight with the daughter of a wealthy merchant in the city, breaks up with his friends, and takes on the role of Roy. swordsmanship and settled there. . .

He seems to be an S-class adventurer and a first-class adventurer with extraordinary abilities.

Seven years older than Roy, he loves Roy like his little brother, and despite his strict sword instructions, he often talks about his adventurous days in his spare time.

What Karne tells me all the time... That's how to get magic.

Tara just thought that to learn magic she would go to a magic school or become a wizard student, but that wasn't the case. There was an item called a spirit ball, and by getting it, the spirit would help it. You can use magic.

The spirit has four kinds of attributes: earth, water, wind, and fire, and it is necessary to have a suitable spirit ball, and the magical power generated by the size and brilliance of the spirit ball changes, resulting in great magical power. it seems the spirit spheres producing above are trading at a high price.

To obtain the spirit ball, it is necessary to dive deep into the dungeon where the spirit ball is, and there is another lightning attribute, but the dungeon where the spirit ball is located is unknown.

However, it is said that ordinary dungeons are already managed, and although monsters and spirits appear naturally, ordinary people who are not adventurers cannot enter the commonly known dungeons, rice fields.

Still, Karne seemed to know all about dungeons that not many people knew, and he told me the locations of dungeons that were unknown to the people scattered around him, so Roy obediently marked each one on the map.

Perhaps he didn't mean to hide it from Karne, who had announced his retirement from the adventurer family business, and even showed Roy a picture of the structure of the dungeon he was challenging, and where he had almost fallen into a trap. here it's just cold, and he tells a bright story of adventure.

Whether Roy, the sergeant of the Count, thought of him as a human in another world who could never become an adventurer or did he know he would never return, generously providing him with information, one of which Roy recorded without missing a single one.

One of the dungeons was nearby, so he decided to go there.

It didn't seem suitable for beginners, but it was the most difficult dungeon, and Karne described it as an easy win for Roy. By the way, he also wanted to see the ninja techniques that Dash had acquired.

********

"here."

"What? Nothing, but is this prairie a dungeon?"

While stopping the mini dragon carriage and getting off the coachman's seat, Dash in the back seat looked around.

"No, no. If you push through the grass here, the stone planks drawn by the arrows will be embedded?"

After being away for 10 days, they stayed in a field and finally arrived in a horse-drawn carriage at noon. Where Karne taught her, when she was squeezing the grass at the center of the large trees towering on either side of the meadow as Tara was being taught, stones were planted.

"From now on, move as I move. If you make a mistake, you can't enter the dungeon. Follow my path without making any mistakes in your steps."

"Yes, I understand."

Tara orders them to follow her as is, with a little explanation of the situation.

Take a small step and walk 5 steps as indicated by the arrow, then turn left at the right corner and continue 3 steps. Then, as Tara pushed through the grass under her feet, the stone plank with arrows embedded again, so she took another 6 steps in the direction indicated by the arrow, then turned right at a right angle and continued 4 steps.

When you "click", the ground that should be on your feet disappears with a dry sound, and naturally begins to fall due to gravity.

"Gogooo..."

"Not ...!"

"Zazazazatsu"

Along with a scream like a scream from above, the mark of a falling object… instantly bounced and dodged with short hair.

"This... where... where is it?"

Dash looked around with a surprised expression.
