Gather Divine Coins and Gacha! - Chapter 218
Bang! With a loud noise, the cow was sent flying to the side with a shield...
"Ha!"
I struck it back with a club, held in both hands like a baseball bat...
"Take that!"
I finished it off with a kick.
That’s done. Now... over there.
Two packs of wolves were coming.
"Next over there! Nine wolves!"
I pointed sharply, and a response came immediately.
"Got it! I'll go first."
Without waiting, he ran and leaped into the middle of the pack.
Swinging his spear, he disrupted them to prevent any coordination.
"Orel, just run straight through! I'm right behind you!"
An older lady, or rather, a big sister figure, followed suit, charging in with her spear.
Just as planned, the wolves couldn't coordinate and were floundering.
In that moment, Alex and the others joined in, coming in front of me.
Now, it's just a matter of taking them down one by one.
I glanced down at my right leg, where the "Needle of the Fiery Bee" was sparking, ready to activate.
Since I’m staying in the royal capital as a guest, not a servant, wearing a maid outfit was out of the question.
But wearing one of the prepared dresses was unthinkable too.
Besides, it wouldn't be smart to delve into a dungeon in a skirt.
Thick adventurer's clothes are easy to find with a bit of searching, but the clothes I’m wearing now were specially made when I ordered clothes for going under Seriana.
Black leggings and white shorts.
A shirt with a black jacket.
A red scarf wrapped around my waist, now draped like a cloak.
This setup is pretty common, but there's a difference.
The shorts and leggings on the right side are short to accommodate the "Needle of the Fiery Bee."
This way, they won't tear when it activates.
It’s a bit punk, but it works!

Today, I went into the dungeon with the adventurers who helped with the city's investigation.
Tyer, Red, Orel, and the lone female, Reece.
All around 30 years old, seasoned adventurers with skills and smarts.
Originally, I was supposed to go with Alex, but when they heard about it, they decided to tag along.
Honestly, a one-hour hunt in the dungeon's shallow areas must seem like a walk in the park for them, so I felt a bit bad about their company, but it seems they wanted to experience the "Prayer" after hearing about the Rutoru defense battle.
Though I have no title, I’m somewhat known in the royal capital, attracting glances from passing adventurers.
It’s a nostalgic feeling.
"Does that blessing wear you out?"
"Not at all. I used it throughout the defense battle without any problems."
"That's impressive... I can use enhancements too, but they drain me quickly..."
Red, who can use magic, said this.
While Alex went to exchange money, I answered their questions.
Both my items and skills were of great interest.
"Normally, you just kick, right? I thought close combat might be risky for a girl, but with that orb and blessing, you can provide solid support. Plus, with the eye and snake, you can secure the surroundings..."
"Yeah. I floated around, spreading 'Prayer' and delivering potions."
Hearing this, the four of them were impressed.
They appreciated its usefulness, not only in dungeons but also for outside missions.
I left out details about the "Shadow Sword" and understated the speed of the "Floating Orb," presenting a much lower capability.
Though it’s just a precaution, this portrayal is quite modest.
It would be problematic if I were underestimated, but it would be just as troublesome if I were overestimated.
It’s a tricky balance, but it seems we struck the right note.
"Sorry to keep you waiting."
Alex returned, having exchanged the money.
"That was quick! Was it not busy today?"
"It's still early. It’s not even noon yet."
Tyer, a bit surprised, commented, and Alex responded with a smile.
Apparently, they weren't familiar with the quiet mornings, having little experience with such early explorations.
Well, this little anecdote probably won’t come in handy...
