day 5 chapter 6

Day 5

I'm awake again, but we still don't have enough DP... Oh yeah. It might

be a bit late for this, but I'll go ahead and explain how I'm surviving in here.

What I'm eating, how I'm using the bathroom, all that good stuff.

Food-wise, I was eating a [Bread and Water (5 DP)] set three times a day.

By the way, the bread that came in that set wasn't just hard rye bread. The

menu was nice enough to allow me to pick between pastries and even bread

prepared with other food items such as meat or vegetables. I would pick the

bread with as much food as possible and then split it with the goblin.

As for the bathroom, well, I was taking care of business in the corner of

the room. Don't worry, I had set up a screen partition and got some toilet

paper first. There was nothing else I could do, since I was stuck in the Master

Room. If I tried leaving it, I would end up face to face with the bandits.

Thankfully, the Dungeon Core would suck up everything that came out of

me, so we didn't have to worry about the smell or anything. Though Rokuko

grimaced whenever she sucked up my poop.

"...How would you feel if someone pooped inside of your heart? Huh?

Not good, right?"

"Hahaha, you're a girl, you shouldn't be saying 'poop.' What's your

problem, anyway? The goblin is pooping inside of you too. Shouldn't a

goblin fetishist like you be crying of happiness?"

"Hey, seriously, is that really what you think of me?! You know I'm an

intelligent life form, right?!"

"Eeeh, uhhh... You're still kind of a mystery to me, honestly. Oh, but like

I said before, I definitely love your feet. They're pale but nice and curvy. The

definition of healthy feet. They're so hot that if you were in your other form,

I would—"

"Oh geez! This Dungeon Master is scary!"

Despite all that, I hadn't showered at all since being summoned. Just

when I was thinking about how my hair would probably start to stink soon, I

looked at the goblin next to me. His face was as gruesome as ever, and his

massive tusk-like fangs looked like they would really hurt if he bit you with

them. His clothes? Nothing but a raggedy cloth wrapped around his waist.

He's a pretty wild guy.

I would have thought that a wild guy like this would start stinking like a

dog after few days of no washing, but he was still completely clean. Did he

have some kind of secret I didn't know about? My questions were all

answered by Rokuko.

"Oh, I've been using the Survival Magic {Purification} on him."

It was literally magic. Right, right. This is a fantasy world.

"Magic, huh? Well, that's that, then. Would you mind casting it on me

too?"

"Wha? You need {Purification} too?"

"...Oh, I see. You're playing favorites with the goblin because you have a

goblin fetish."

"No! I just didn't know that Dungeon Masters needed {Purification}! And

anyway, do that yourself, sheesh!"

"Hey, now, why are you acting like I can use magic?"

"Eh? You can't?"

Apparently, all humans were capable of using magic. Even the bandits

had been using it when I wasn't looking.

Wait, seriously? Do I just know nothing about nothing? Oh, wait. This is a

fantasy world, obviously I don't know much of anything. I wonder if I can use

{Purification} too. I'll try asking her how to use it.

"You just, like, build up your mana and cast {Purification}. That's all."

That didn't help at all. What do you mean, build up my mana? What doyou mean, just cast {Purification}? You're like a cookbook that says to add

"some salt" without listing grams or teaspoons or anything. C'mon, I'm a

human from a world where magic doesn't even exist. I'm as much of a

beginner as you can possibly be.

"...Keima. You can use the Menu, can't you? It's basically the same thing

as that."

"Seriously? {Purification}... Oh wow, that actually worked."

A fluffy, lemony sensation washed over my body from head to toe and

purified it. Now I can sleep as much as I want, completely clean. I could cast

{Purification} on myself right after waking up and go back to sleep

immediately, feeling refreshed. I felt a little pleasantly tired, as if casting the

spell had used up part of my MP or something. This spell is perfect for

sleeping. Fantastic.

"By the way, you can cast simple Survival spells with just mana and some

mental effort, but you'll have to learn stronger spells through scrolls before

you can use them."

"Scrolls...?"

"Uh-huh. You could teach yourself the spells by figuring them out from

the ground up with logic, but that's not reasonable for most people. Only

researchers really do that. So, normally you'll have to use scrolls to learn

magic. Well, I've never used a scroll myself, but... Oh, maybe there are some

in the DP Catalog?"

I checked the DP Catalog and saw that in the treasure section there were

plenty of scrolls, like the [{Fireball} Scroll (500 DP)] or the [{Earth Barrier}

Scroll (700 DP)]. Each spell belonged to an element, and the four main

elements were Earth, Water, Wind, and Fire. There were also special

elements known as Light, Darkness, and Space-Time. Spells were then

classified even further beyond that, with each one either being a Bottom￾Rank, Low-Rank, Mid-Rank, High-Rank, Special-Rank, King-Rank, or God￾Rank spell. {Fireball}, for instance, was a Low-Rank Fire spell. And in the

midst of all that, there was one Mid-Rank Earth spell that caught my eye.

[{Create Golem} Scroll (10,000 DP)]

Veeery interesting. I might be able to use this spell to summon a servant

that will obey my every command. Well, technically Rokuko is kind of like a

servant that will obey my every command, but she's a girl... and she looks

super young in her energy-saving form. I want something more like a robot toorder around. I definitely want to get this scroll soon, but I dunno if I should

get it or the equally expensive [Heavenly Pillow] first...
