Gather Divine Coins and Gacha! - Chapter 281

 After escaping from the dungeon and reaching the ground floor of the Adventurers' Guild, I looked out the window and saw that it was already getting dark.

I had been down there for quite a long time...

In the hall on the ground floor, the members had changed since morning, and adventurers were milling about.

Although I had passed through the upper levels and shallow areas, there were fewer adventurers hunting.

Since time had passed, they must have finished their hunts and returned.

So, the people here are probably not related to the exploration but are perhaps waiting for requests or something like that?

"Hey, Seria. You've been gone quite a while."

As I was observing the adventurers lounging in the hall, the branch manager who had come out from the reception desk called out to me.

Normally it takes about an hour, but today was different, so he was probably curious.

"Today there was no time limit, so I took my time hunting... Oh, by the way..."

"What's up?"

"I have something I'd like to discuss, if that's alright?"

"Sure... Shall we move to another place?"

"…Yeah, well, it's not that big of a deal."

"In that case, a room should be fine. ...Hey, I'm going to step out for a bit, so please cover for me."

After saying that to the reception desk, he started walking toward his office, and I followed him.

It's nice that he’s quick to move on, but I feel a bit apologetic that it's not such a big deal.

"Sorry about the mess."

"It's nothing."

As soon as we arrived in the room, he said that... although there were indeed some stacks of items in the corners, it was still cleaner compared to Rianna's office as the Adventurers' Guild branch manager.

"So? Was there something unusual about the dungeon?"

"Well... I wanted to let you know that there’s nothing unusual. Do you know about the ‘Danrem's Thread’?"

"Danrem...? I've heard of a mercenary group with the name Danrem in the western regions... Is it a beneficence item or something?"

"Wow! Impressive!"

I mentioned it as a mere preamble, but it’s impressive that he not only reached the beneficence item but also knew about the mercenary group from the western region, which has nothing to do with him.

"Excuse me for a moment... there we go."

With that, it became easier to continue the discussion.

First, I activated the ‘Danrem's Thread’ and summoned a bow.

Of course, I couldn't keep holding it, so it fell to the floor with a loud thud.

"⁉"

The size of the suddenly appeared bow and the weight implied by the sound of its fall surprised the branch manager.

Well, I only brought it out for him to see, so I’ll put it away soon.

"So... is that ‘Danrem's Thread’? It looked like a bow that requires quite a bit of strength..."

"Yes, indeed. It’s as heavy as it looks, but it can shoot arrows with incredible power. It can take down middle-tier ogres in one shot and can even gouge out the dungeon floor and walls..."

"Wow... that’s amazing. Hmm? Is that what you wanted to talk about? You don’t want to brag, do you?"

As expected of someone in the position of branch manager of the Adventurers' Guild, he was a bit surprised by the new item but quickly regained his composure.

So, what exactly did he want to discuss?

"Today... I used this to hunt in the room with the group of ogres at the middle layer entrance... and it ended up destroying quite a bit of the floor and walls."

I’m not sure how it works, but even if the dungeon walls and floors are destroyed, they eventually restore themselves over time.

However, it doesn’t happen quickly; today's damage will take about two hours to repair.

Fortunately, there were no adventurers entering the middle layer today, but if they saw that, they might misunderstand it as a rampage by a demon or something.

At first, I was too absorbed in considering the use of the bow to think about that, but on the way back, I became anxious that I might have done something major and decided to consult about it.

"So, you want me to notify them not to worry about the destruction within the dungeon?"

The branch manager understood my concern without needing me to explain further.

Perhaps there have been similar cases before?

"Well... you probably only move within the range stated in the exploration report, but you’ll need to convey information about this beneficence item. Is that okay?"

"Yes, it's fine as long as it’s just about the bow."

Some people openly flaunt their items and skills for display, while others keep their trump cards strictly secret.

I’m a bit of both... but since ‘Danrem's Thread’ stands out, if someone sees me using it, they’ll immediately understand what it is.

It might cause distrust among the adventurers in this city if I hide it and it’s later discovered, so I’ll disclose it properly.

"Understood... I’ll think about it and take care of it, so leave it to me."

His words are reassuring.

Even though it’ll be delegated, I’ll leave it to him!
