[T.N: raw said “扇撃ち”, something like fan shooting. No idea what that is so I change it to Spread cuz u know, spread like a fan?]

Amyl went up from Level 25 to 26. Lelena went up from 24 to 25 respectively.

What should I take for the next skill? Since a new magic system came out, I decided to take the Earth magic. Claire gains a new bow related skill. From the name is a skill that shoots arrows rapidly. That should be useful when facing more than one enemies.

Next I decided to immediately test the Earth magic that I just got. At first, I got a bit impatient as it’s been awhile since I get to choose a new magic but it doesn’t really works. I’ll try to use it again after changing the location, as there is some limitation with what I can do if it’s not a place with exposed soil.

The magic is the same as the others, with similar pattern. First is the magic that raise a wall of earth at a place. Next is a magic that change the ground into a marsh. The third is a magic that digs up the ground. It’s also possible to change the strength of the earth wall, to make it stronger than normal wood, but weaker than iron.

Diabell who decided to join us is a Spirit magic user. Spirit magic is not a magic that is used for direct attack, but a magic that borrows the power of the spirits drifting all over the world to interfere with the surroundings.

For example, she can call the spirit of light called the Will o’ Wisp to float as a light instead of the lantern in the dungeon, and if she’s outside she can call the spirit of the wind to cut the enemies in pieces, borrowing the power of the spirit of flame to make a fire, as well as creating various other phenomena.

However there’s limitation to borrowing the power of the spirits, as you can borrow the power of the water spirit in a place without water, as well as unable to borrow the power of the flame spirit in a place without fire. Therefor in a dungeon, its power is considerably limited.
[T.N: But there’s spirit of light in those dark dungeons?]

“I could also use sword. Can you find any use for an elf like me?”

So the person in question asked. Since we’re going to fight strong monsters, I won’t lie. Diabell is Level 19. She’s slightly lower than us. As for Shallie, she’s Level 1. Well, there won’t be many chances for the little girl having to fight.

In case of Shallie, she seems to be glad that the number of adults have increased, as she frequently talks with Claire and Lelena. Did Lelena loves children I wonder, as she keeps on telling her stories while Shallie keeps on nodding. Amyl also seems to make an effort to tame her by using food. When I see her walking with Claire while holding hands, they looks like sisters in good relationship.

“So, what do you plan to do? Since I decided to join I need to know.”

That’s reasonable so we explained our circumstances. The thing about Amyl getting married. How he hoped for a stable life as an officer. How to be a knight he needs to reach Gold rank, as well as defeating the floor master to raise his fame. Although Diabell listens to the story with a severe look, she didn’t oppose it.

“To be honest the probability of us winning is low with our current level. Do you have some kind of plan?”

“I have properly thought about that. That’s right, for now please formally join our party. That way we could share the experience value obtained.”

“Understood. Not only me, but I’ll also ask Shallie to do it too.”

Of course I have no intentions to leave the little girl out. Once I apply for the party, Diabell opened her status to accept. Although I do the same for Shallie, that girl had some trouble understanding what’s going on.

“Shallie, try saying “Status”.”

“Staatuus? Ah, it appeared!”

“Then there should be something shining at the bottom. When you see it, try to accept it in your head. Try it.”

“Yes!”

While Shallie lively answered, it seems she succeeded in the party application. I pat her head while saying “good girl” to her that is laughing with a smile. What a cute girl.

Aside from Shallie, I need to train Diabell for the fight against the floor master, so that she could be an important battle potential. As we descend the stairs, the 11th underground floor came into view.
